Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 705 Hua Zheng Visits
After several months of siege, Yanping City, where Kublai Khan was located, was at the end of its rope.

The Mongols are also gathering corresponding forces to break through the Great Wall, thereby rescuing Kublai Khan's 30 Mongolian army.

Although there are only 30 to [-] elites among the [-] Mongolian army, and the others are all miscellaneous, but most of them are Mongolians, and many Mongolian nobles are working under Kublai Khan's banner.

Their family members were on the grassland, and they were all besieged in Yanping City right now.

And not only these people, but also many Mongolian ministers who love the prosperity of the Central Plains live in this former capital of the Jin Kingdom.

Now they are all trapped in the city.

Although there is a lot of food in the city, it can't bear the expenses of the 30 troops, and not only the expenses of these troops.

Yanping City was once the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and Kublai Khan’s residence in the Central Plains. He also managed Yanping a lot. He planned to designate Yanping as the capital after he seized the throne of the Great Khan in the future, and remove the Jinding tent from the city. The grasslands outside the Great Wall moved to the prosperous Central Plains.

In addition to the war between Tang and Mongolia, many Mongolians also fled to Yanping City in order to avoid liquidation.

Today's Yanping City not only has 30 soldiers, but also has a population of more than 50.

Because of the entry of the army, Yanping, the largest city in the north, may be considered crowded, but the streets are full of troops.

The city was besieged by the Tang army. As long as the Mongols dared to leave the city, they would force them back with firearms.

Although there were only [-] Tang troops besieging Yanping, firearms were brought up one after another, comparable to a million soldiers.

Now there is not much food left in Yanping City, but the Tang army did not attack the city, let alone persuade them to surrender, and did not even send a messenger on the phone, but surrounded the entire Yanping area.

Then the Mongols dared to break through, and they forced them back with firearms.

Not only breaking out of the siege, but even sneaking out of the city to surrender to the Tang army was impossible.Because it would be directly shot into a hedgehog by Tang Jun who was blocked outside the city.

After Wang Ping asked Li Qingwei for instructions, Li Qingwei's order was to surround them and not let a single bird go.It doesn't matter if the opponent surrenders, as long as they go out of the city and get close to the Tang army's siege position, they will be shot and killed.

This suddenly made the Mongols a little desperate.It's not just a question of confusion.

No siege, no communication, and no surrender.This group of people started with the old Khan on the Western Expedition, and participated in various battles to destroy Khwarazm, Xixia, Jin, and invade the Song Dynasty in the south. They are very experienced.

But even so, they couldn't figure out what the other was up to.

Although they also considered the strategy of "surrounding the spot to fight for aid", Li Qingwei's strategy was a conspiracy.There is no solution at all.

Either give up the 30 army and be trapped to death in Yanping City.Or send reinforcements to rescue them.

Although in the past few months, the surroundings of Yanping City have seemed very peaceful, but other places in Datang have been fighting hand-to-hand with the Mongols.

Now the three generals under Li Qingwei's command, Yang Yong is now guarding Shanhaiguan to defend against the Jin and Mongols, and Wang Ping is in charge of guarding JYG and trapping the Yanping garrison.

Guo Jing, on the other hand, stayed in Taiyuan, guarding Yanmen Pass and controlling the overall situation.

And the old land of Xixia in the northwest, now the Supreme Emperor Li Qinglong is the governor.

Li Qinglong did not simply manage the old land of Xixia, Li Qingwei granted all the military and political power in the territory under his father's jurisdiction.

Rather than being a Jiedushi, it is better to say that he is the emperor of Xixia.

While defending, Li Qinglong chose to take the initiative to attack with the Dingnan army, and after the battle of Chang'an City, the defense of the Mongols in the northwest has completely collapsed.

As a former warrior on the battlefield, he won the line of Dunhuang Yumen in one fell swoop and knocked on the gate of the Western Regions.

In the old lands of Khwarazm and other places in the Great Mongolian Kingdom, internal rebellions broke out like the Southern Song Dynasty.The dominance of the Mongol Empire has been shaken.

Li Qinglong knew very well the truth of taking advantage of your illness to kill you, so he led the army to drive straight in, and now most of the Western Regions have been included in his pocket.

As for the deserts in other places, he didn't even bother to fight for them.And Li Qinglong has been stationed in the Western Regions for so many years as the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. He is very familiar with the customs and customs of the Western Regions, as well as the topography and landforms of various places.

In addition, the Mongolian troops stationed in the Western Regions were all lost in Chang'an City, and now they are all being dragged to build the Great Wall.

Tang Jun, the party member under Li Qinglong's command, was almost as if he had entered the land of no one. Basically, three or five Tang soldiers occupied and took over a small village. More than 100 people will take over a town.

And Li Qinglong knew the customs of the people here, so everything remained the same, except that they changed from the people of Great Mongolia to the people of Great Tang.

For the natives here, nothing has changed in their lives.No resistance, no welcome.Everyone should do what they have to do.

Compared with the exorbitant taxes of the Mongols, Datang's tax rate can be much lower.

Moreover, the Mongols also tried to retake the cities of the Western Regions, but they were all beaten back by Li Qinglong.Because of the lessons learned from the last battle of Chang'an, the Mongols did not dare to go deep into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, for fear that they would be suddenly besieged again and then made dumplings.

In the direction of Yanmenguan, the Mongols also tried to break through, but their efforts were in vain. The Yanmenguan defenders could not hold on, and with the help of Tangmen's firearms, as long as they dared to approach, the Tang army on the city wall would immediately fire. A volley of crossbows killed half of them before they got close to the city wall.

In the face of tough battles, the once invincible Mongolian iron cavalry suddenly became a decoration.

No matter how thick their armor was, no matter how strong their bodies were, they were no match for Li Qingwei's guns and cannons.

The Battle of Yanmen Pass made the Mongolian iron cavalry who swept the world feel what despair is.

It's not that the Mongols haven't sent people to beg for mercy in the past few months, but their envoys couldn't get in at all.As long as the messenger approached, he would be scolded back immediately.

However, the arrival of an envoy made things turn around.

This messenger is none other than Genghis Khan's youngest daughter, Princess Huazheng of the Great Mongol Empire.

Princess Huazheng came to Yanmen Pass alone as an envoy. She did not say that she was an envoy from Mongolia, but that she was Guo Jing's friend.Please forward a letter to Taiwei Guo.

The soldiers guarding the gate checked the letter she handed over, and it was just a greeting from an ordinary friend. After Huazheng gave them the "postage fee" of an ingot of gold, the letter arrived at Guo Jing's camp in Taiyuan City. middle.

Guo Jing was very surprised to receive the letter from outside the Great Wall. After he opened it and read it, it was just a general greeting, but when he read the final signature of the letter, he was completely stunned.

"Hua Zheng", this name has been haunting Guo Jing's heart for many years.

Guo Jing's life was open and aboveboard, and everything he did was for the justice of the world, but there were only two things that were a bit deceitful.

The first thing to do was to be the marshal of Zhengxi, to mop up Khorezmo and become an accomplice of the executioner.

And the second thing is to bear Hua Zheng's life.

Seeing an old friend visiting today, he couldn't see him, so after Guo Jing carefully handed over the daily affairs to the lieutenant general, he rode on the little red horse and galloped to Yanmen Pass.
