Chapter 601: Bilge at the End of the Road
After passing Yumen Pass, it will be the Western Regions.
There have been countless exciting things happening here.
In the long river of history, countless Han men set out from here to fight in a wider place and demonstrate the might of the Celestial Empire.
There are also countless people who buried their bones outside the Jade Gate Pass, no one cared about them or knew about them.
In short, this is a place that is often mentioned in history books.
The closest thing to the Song Dynasty was more than 400 years ago, when the Tubo people took advantage of the Anshi Rebellion to capture Hexi and cut off the Western Regions and the Central Plains.
It was a heroic era and a sad era.
It was on this land that Guo Xin, the King of Wuwei County, was surrounded by powerful enemies on all sides and remained firm for forty years with the support of the court.
During those forty years, the Han family went on to protect the territory of the Western Regions for the weak Tang Dynasty.
Until his hair turns gray, he turns from a young man with strong qi and blood to a veteran in his twilight years.
It is unimaginable how the old white-haired general, with a group of equally elderly soldiers, died generously after drinking the last glass of hot wine in the snowy day when Beiting fell.
It was a group of people who should be remembered forever by future generations, but the wind and sand had blown away their bones, together with their names.
The red tassels on the iron helmet were flying, and the blood of the Han soldiers was re-stained on this land.
The dusty blood was ignited.
The Han cavalry shattered the beautiful dream of the foreign race.
Here, a new era begins with blood and fire.
Bilege can't stop it, no one can stop it.
When the news of the collapse of the 300,000 army was sent back to Gaochang, Bile Ge was stunned.
His first reaction was to flee out of the city with the last imperial guards in Gaochang Palace.
The 300,000 army was defeated by the Song army after only a few days of going.
You must not stay in this royal city.
On the way to escape, he received another news: Anbahai, Longji and the leaders of various Tubo tribes had been beaten to death.
This made Bilege despair.
What was even more desperate than Bilege was that when Zhanmuer fled back to the royal city, he found that the last elite of the royal city followed Bilege missing.
The Song army, who followed closely behind, had already rushed over, and Zhan Muer wanted to open the door and escape.
He could only stay in the royal city obediently.
At this moment, the royal city was panicked.
The ministers who were still flattering Bielgo a few days ago are now cleaning up the fine and soft spots to run away, while others are preparing gold to wait for the Song army to break through the city.
Zhan Muer was not stupid either. He took his few remaining soldiers and began to scrape them around the city, intending to collect enough wealth and contribute to save his life.
The next day when the Song army arrived at Gaochang Royal City, the royal city was opened and surrendered by the ministers.
Zhanmuer welcomed Yue Fei at the city gate with several cars of gold.
I have to say that Zhan Muer was lucky, he met Yue Fei's army.
If it were Han Shizhong, his head would have been spinning on the ground now, and the other people's heads would have been spinning on the ground.
Yue Fei's army has never massacred the city or killed people at will. It can be said to be a model of the Song Dynasty army.
Yue Fei just said lightly: "Where is Brother Bile?"
"Biller, the traitor, ran westward, ran yesterday!"
Yue Fei said to Zhang Xian: "Chase and capture Bile Ge back."
So, in the next period of time, something very simple happened on the vast Western Regions.
Bilege fled with his men, and the Song army chased after him like a flying distance.
Occasionally, there was a small friction between the two sides.
Bilege's only way out now is to ask Yelu Dashi for help.
He began to write letters to Yelu Dashi.
"Big King, Xiao Wang's army is fighting with Song Gou. Only if the king needs another 200,000 reinforcements will be needed, Song Gou will be cleared, enter Hexi, break up Xingqing Prefecture, pass Tongguan, enter Chang'an, and fight all the way to Tokyo, let the dog emperor go out and kneel down and beg for mercy. Xiao Wang is willing to share the world with the king."
A few days later, Bilege wrote another letter to Yelu Dashi.
"King, Xiao Wang's army of 300,000 has defeated Yue Fei'er. The king only needs to give Xiao Wang's army another 150,000. Xiao Wang can lead the men to the city of Tokyo within two months, let the dog emperor open the door to surrender, and the king can enter the Central Plains."
A few days later, Bilege's letter came again.
"King, Xiao Wang's army of 300,000 has entered Hexi. The army is in Xingqing Prefecture and can capture Xingqing Prefecture in just one day. How about it, the king, you only need to give Xiao Wang 80,000 reinforcements. Xiao Wang can attack the Central Plains within ten days!"
Yelu Dashi has received letters one after another recently.
If he hadn't known the situation there, just reading Bile Ge's letter, he would have thought Bile Ge beaten Song Dynasty so much that he didn't even recognize his mother.
At first, Bilege's letter was written on white paper.
Later, I started writing with fabric, occasionally with some blood.
Then I used a bloody coarse cloth, and finally found some leaves and drew some curved things on it.
From beginning to end, Yelu Dashi had not even had a soldier and even more soldiers, but he watched Bilege be chased by Zhang Xian and finally arrested.
When Zhang Xian arrested Bilege, Bilege shouted: "I want to see His Majesty the Emperor, I want to surrender to him, and I want to be his most loyal subject."
Zhang Xian brought Bilege back to Gaochang City. Bilege was anxious to see Yue Fei, but he couldn't see him.
Because he was thrown into jail and imprisoned.
Duan Zhijie of the Supervision Bureau has begun to list the list of Han people involved in the massacre of the Han people in Gaochang City that day.
A bloody storm will be stirred up in Gaochang.
Two days later, Zhan Muer, who had originally given Duan Zhijie five cars of gold, was taken out of the bed in the mansion.
His whole family was brought out.
Not only him, but almost all the ministers of Bilgro and the three tribes of the ministers were taken away.
These people also raised warriors and entourages in the mansion, trying to resist. Under the sharp sword of the military police, all resistance was a paper tiger.
There were miserable screams everywhere in Gaochang City, and the poor who were unable to even eat on weekdays looked at all with curious eyes.
They were bystanders. When they saw the noble men and ladies who used whips to slap themselves at will, being dragged to the middle of Wuwu and being as embarrassed as wild dogs, they couldn't help but clap and cheer.
Yue Fei's ban on the massacre of the city lost its effect at this time.
Duan Zhijie held the emperor's handwritten letter in his hand, clarifying that he would kill all the nobles who massacred the Han people on that day.
A red sunset gradually sank into the horizon, and Gaochang City also turned red.
