Luo's ghost kingdom was controlled by the neighboring Dali Kingdom and respected Dali as their upper kingdom.

Dali is also a kingdom with a very long history. It is a kingdom founded by Duan.

At first, Duan was a general of Nanzhao state.

In the long-term fighting, he became the most powerful family force in Southwest China.

It is said that there was once a warrior named Duan Chicheng in Duan's family with excellent martial arts.

I don't know where an old boa constrictor comes from. He eats people's crops every day, and even some children are eaten by this animal at night.

For a moment, it made people panic. The people dare not even plant crops.

As soon as it gets dark, every household will be closed for fear that as soon as they come out, they will be hit by the Python and suffer.

Slowly, the crops in many places are deserted.

No crops, no food.

As the saying goes, food is the essence of the people.

The government sent a large number of sergeants to capture the python, but they never came back.

He wanted to send another sergeant, but the soldiers would rather go at the risk of disobeying military orders and beheading.

Seeing that the government can't help it, the people are even more scared. Many people began to flee their hometown.

At this critical moment, a general came forward with weapons and went to kill the python.

Three days later, he didn't come back. Everyone thought that the general had been eaten by the python. But in the morning, he came back with Dongxu.

When the people saw him, they rushed to tell them that he was the patron saint of Nanzhao,

this general was that part of Chicheng.

Through the efforts of the Duan family, they finally borrowed barbarians from the 72 man cave in Duan Siping's generation. With their own troops, they marched to the capital at that time, and half of them were blocked by the opponent's army.

For this reason, Duan Siping thought hard about how to retreat from the enemy in the military camp. It was not until early in the morning that he fell asleep on the top of the Shuai case.

This sleep, he had a dream.

In his dream, he saw that people had no heads, jade bottles had no ears, and a good army mirror was broken. "

when he wakes up, he can't think of his dreams.

So he called for his own commander, dongjialuo.

Let him fulfill his dream.

After hearing this and listening to Duan Siping's narration, commander Dong Jialuo explained to him that Duan Siping was a man, and his first name was heaven. Jade vase has no ears. That's the king. As for the broken mirror, Duan Siping had no rival in the fight for the throne in this battle.

After hearing this, Duan Siping was very happy, so he called all the soldiers of the battalion and told them the news.

After listening to this, the morale of the officers and men of the three armed forces suddenly rose again because of the frustration.

When people have the spirit, they can do things smoothly.

The sergeants went around looking for someone to lead them.

It's true that heaven can bear the hardships. A sergeant found a girl playing with gauze. She said she knew a secret path that could bypass the current obstacles.

After taking them to a place where they could cross the river, the girl said to Duan Siping, "people come from the end of our river, horses from Sansha, and the name of our country is Dali."

Through this path, Duan Siping led the army to unexpectedly appear in Yangju baa city.

At that time, the king and his ministers of Dayi Ningguo were at a loss. Duan Siping led the army to attack Yangju baa city and destroy Dayi Ningguo.

According to the knowledge of the girl playing with gauze, Duan Siping named his kingdom Dali.

When Duan rose to the southwest and established a kingdom, the GAOs gradually became a rising star of Dali.

Because in several rebellions, the children of Gao nationality used their life, they controlled the state affairs of Dali, and the king of Dali was only the head of Dali in name.

In the generation of Gao Zhisheng and Gao Shengtai father and son, the power of the Gao people has reached its peak.

They forced the emperor of Dali to become a monk, and supported Duan Zhengming, the emperor of Baoding, as the emperor of Dali.

They played the emperor of Dali with applause, which aroused the strong dissatisfaction of Dali's subjects and led Dali into turmoil.

Shortly after that, Gao Shengtai died of illness.

Before his death, he realized that the situation was pressing, so he left a last word for his son Gao Taimin to return the state affairs to Baoding emperor in Dali.

Once people have power and want to give up, it is very difficult.

In addition to the fact that his father was not able to return his life to the state of Tai, he had to consider the fact that his father could not return his life to the state of Tai.

In fact, he hoped that the then emperor Baoding would not accept his return to the imperial government, but the result was more than he expected. After receiving the memorial from Gao Taimin, the emperor Baoding did not give in at all, but accepted all the orders.This time, Gao Taimin was not happy. He became angry and became angry. He abandoned the Baoding emperor of Dali, Duan Zhengming, and his brother Duan Zhengchun, the Wen'an emperor of Dali.

After doing this, he killed many important officials of the Dali emperor. In Dali, no one dared to oppose Gao Taimin.

In Dali, he was called the Lord of the high kingdom.

Since then, the title of the monarch has always been inherited by the people of their high nationality.

Up to now, the main name of this generation of Gao kingdom is Gao taixiang, and the emperor is Xiang Yitian, the king of virtue. His name is Duan Xingzhi.

It has been said that since the time of Genghis Khan, Mongolia had a plan to make a detour from the southwest and then destroy the Song Dynasty.

This plan is called the plan of mediation.

Just because of various reasons, it has not been thoroughly implemented.

After he and Lin Hanting inherited the position of Mongolian Khan, mengge focused on dealing with the internal affairs of the Empire and the western expedition.

Under the command of his third younger brother xuliewu, the western expedition army of Mongolia bowed to the western countries. However, within the Empire, after his suppression, Genghis Khan's other descendants and factions were no longer able to compete with them.

In this way, Kublai Khan could leave Helin and command the army.

Two of the three armies were the armies of the Mongolian Khanate.

Among them, the Mongol Khan personally led the main forces of the Khanate to attack Sichuan, while his confidant general Wu Liang Hetai led an army of the Mongol Khanate to cooperate with the army of Kublai Khan, the fourth Prince of Xingzhou, to attack Yunnan.

All the way, the Mongolian cavalry passed the Dadu River and reached the Jinsha River.

In this expedition, the Mongol army was mainly composed of cavalry and infantry. Few people were proficient in making warships and water warfare.

After arriving at the Jinsha River, the Mongol army had made several attacks, but the Jinsha River was turbulent, and the Dali soldiers on the other side set up big guns and strong bows and crossbows, so that they could not even reach the middle of the Jinsha River.

Kublai Khan and general Wu lianghetai led hundreds of thousands of troops, which consumed a lot of food and grass every day. In addition, Dali sent a small number of soldiers who were familiar with the terrain to harass them.

The battle of the expedition to Dali fell into a stalemate for a moment.

The Mongolian cavalry stresses a quick battle and a quick decision. The army is coming from a long distance. Such a standoff is beneficial to the soldiers of Dali, but it is also necessary for the Mongolian army to face a series of problems such as food and grass.

During the expedition, the imperial concubine CHABI and the counselor Liu Bingzhong stayed in Xingzhou. The civil servants accompanying the expedition were Yao Shu and other counselors. The military generals were Dong Wenzhong, Dong Wenyong and Boyan.

In view of the fact that there are many martial arts schools in Southwest China, the fourth Prince Kublai Khan asked Yang lianzhenjia and other experts to accompany him in case of emergency.

Dali, from the emperor to the common people, all believe in Buddhism. Master basiba, Yang lianzhenjia's master, is a Buddhist master.

It's also an important privacy to take Yang lianzhenjia with you on this trip.

On this day, after breakfast, the fourth Prince Kublai took Yao Shu and Yang lianzhenjia and others to the Jinsha River to explore the terrain.

This is a habit he has developed since he marched and fought for many years.

Kublai Khan thought that the map was absolutely indispensable.

Sometimes, even a small error will lead to the failure of a campaign.

When he didn't go to a place, he would check the terrain himself and confirm it with the map to see if there was any error.

When the campaign doesn't go well, he will come to the battlefield again.

Kublai Khan pointed to the turbulent River and sighed: "before I came here, I didn't expect that there would be such a big river in the southwest mountains."

"The Lord is right." Yao Shudao.

He added: "as long as we knew that, we should have made more preparations to cross the river when we were in Xingzhou."

"It's a pity that there's no regret medicine in the world." The fourth Prince sighed.

Yang lianzhenjia put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, don't worry. Fourth prince, the Jinsha River can't stop the Mongolian army."

"Master, do you have any good way?" After listening to Yang lianzhenjia's words, the fourth King Kublai asked.

Yang lianzhenjia replied, "no idea."

"But there is a suggestion." He added.

Four Wangye Kublai said: "master, speak quickly."

"There are many indigenous people living here. Before our Mongolian army came, they also need to travel frequently on both sides of the Jinsha River. If the poor monk is right, they must have a way to cross the river." Yang Lianjia.

Yao Shu listened to him and said, "the master is right.

"It's just that the indigenous people here have all hid in the holy mountain after our Mongolian army arrived. We can't even see any of them." He added.

After entering Dali, there were high mountains everywhere, and the aborigines hid in the mountains, so it was difficult for Mongolian cavalry to catch them.Yang Lianzhen said, "Mr. Yao, don't worry."

"Hundreds of thousands of troops are hesitating here. It is impossible to say that they are not in a hurry." Yao Shu retorted.

Yang Lianzhen said: "Amitabha."

"Buddhists pay attention to a word of fate. When it comes to fate, all sufferings will be easily solved." He added.

It's a little more profound.

It seems that there is something brewing in his heart. It may be that he doesn't want to say it before the time comes.

At this time, Bo Yan came in a hurry.

After seeing the ceremony, Kublai Khan asked him what happened.

After Bo Yan said his intention, the fourth Prince Kublai Khan was very happy.

He came here to report to the fourth Prince Kublai Khan that he had captured an aborigine.

He is also said to be the son of the local tribal leader.

Just now, the three people still said that it was quite difficult to catch a local. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Bo Yan captured two local people, and also the son of the tribal leader.

The fourth King Kublai said, "Bo Yan, you have made great achievements this time. I will reward you a lot."

"Thank you, fourth Lord." Bo Yan bowed himself and said thank you.

He also said: "it's just that I dare not be greedy."

"What do you mean by that?" Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, asked.

Bo Yan replied, "it's not the last general who has captured the son of the tribal leader this time, but the master."

"You mean this is "The fourth Prince Kublai looked at Yang lianzhenjia and asked Bo Yan.

Bo Yan replied, "yes."

In order to find a suitable way to cross the Jinsha River, master Yang lianzhenjia has been trying to find a way.

His master, master BASBA, the leader of the Sakya sect, once came here when Yang lianzhenjia was still very young and took Yang lianzhenjia to travel around the world.

Although yanglianjia had been stationed in this tribe for a long time, they did have some impressions.

Among the aboriginal tribes, salt is the most scarce.

As long as they heard that there was salt, they tried their best to get it.

With these thoughts in mind, master Yang lianzhenjia asked Boyan to lead a group of soldiers, disguised as merchants coming from afar, to pass by this aboriginal tribe.

The aboriginal tribes had spies where they passed. Boyan disguised as a businessman with a few trucks of salt, of course, can't escape the sight of the aboriginal tribe spies.

After the spy saw it, he immediately went back to his tribe and reported to the leader of the tribe.

It's said that there are so many salt. Originally, the tribal leader wanted to rob them himself. But the son of the tribal leader said that he didn't need to do it himself. He was the son.

After listening to his son's words, the tribal leader thought it would be better for him to exercise.

So he agreed to his son's request.

The son of the tribal leader, led by the spy, saw Boyan, who was disguised as a businessman.

Seeing so much salt, he was overjoyed and said, "this time, we can sell the surplus to other tribes to make a lot of money."

At the thought of this, the son of the tribal leader was very excited. He waved a knife and directed his men to rob Boyan of their salt.

They thought they had met fat sheep, but they didn't know Boyan had been ready for a long time. Boyan, what they want is for these people to show up and grab the salt they escort.

Of course, the fighting capacity of Mongolian soldiers can not be matched by the soldiers of these indigenous tribes.

When they came, they were killed or captured alive, including the son of the tribal leader.
