    Zheng Yunming coldly swept away this group of arrogant and powerful generals who were running rampant in Shu, and shouted loudly: "Since you are subject to my orders, there are a few things that I have to explain in advance! The officers and soldiers are supported by the people.  The troops guarding the border are not bandits! From now on, anyone who robs the village will be killed! Anyone who buys and sells by force will be killed! Anyone who seizes people by force will be killed!  " He paused and saw beads of sweat dripping from Wang Kui's forehead. He raised his voice even more and said, "Anyone who arbitrarily kidnaps civilians into the camp will be killed! " His slightly sharp and high-pitched voice echoed in the air.  , Wang Kui's thousands of troops and horses did not dare to show their dignity, and listened to the young commander's instructions in a polite manner.  "Those who refuse to retreat after hearing the gold, beheaded! Those who refuse to advance after hearing the drums, beheaded! Those who rebel against the army before the battle, beheaded! Those who slight their superiors, beheaded! Those who compete for the head, beheaded! Those who kill good people and take meritorious deeds, beheaded! Withhold military pay for generals  , Kill! If you have concealed yourself, kill! But if you are greedy for life and don¡¯t save your allies, kill them immediately.¡± Zheng Yunming¡¯s fierce appearance was mentioned by a veteran of Shu many years later.  , all shuddering.  "Today I am not here specifically to kill you, but to save your lives! The Mongols are fierce and are a powerful enemy that has never been seen in thousands of years. If we don't strictly enforce discipline and blockade the place, how can we compete with millions of fierce cavalry on the battlefield! I  People often say that being loyal to the emperor means sacrificing your life for the country. But today I will give you a chance. If you don¡¯t want to eat this military ration, you can take off your shirt and leave now!¡±  What he said was pleasant. Thousands of elite troops were pressing behind him. Anyone who dared to say so could leave. Wang Kui's subordinates were silent, wondering what the new applause would do to them. Although they were used to being arrogant, what had they actually done?  They all knew it in their hearts, and Wang Kui usually ran the army harshly and harshly, and none of his subordinates were really willing to offend this seemingly untouchable official for his sake.  Zheng Yunming slowly looked around at the troops and shouted loudly: "Since no one wants to leave the team, I will assume that you have promised to abide by military regulations. Then, the next time someone dares to violate military law and is taken to the execution ground,  Don't complain that this commander is ruthless!" He waved his hand and shouted: "Return to Jiading City immediately!" When the army returned to the city, the officials greeted Zheng Yunming and sat down in the main hall of the government office.  Zheng Yunming looked at Wang Kui sitting down. He was no longer as arrogant as before, just like a wilted eggplant, sitting on the chair.  He laughed in his heart and asked Wang Kui: "We are coming to Sichuan. I don't know how many soldiers there are in Sichuan that can fight. Wang Tongzhi is a famous general in Western Shu. He must know the truth inside and out. Please tell Zheng Yunming in detail." Wang Kui  At this point, he no longer dared to underestimate Zheng Yunming, so he had to answer honestly: "Although there are soldiers in Sichuan, they are now scattered everywhere, each holding its own place, and cannot fight against the Mongolian army. Jinzhou Dutong and Yanwei  They are still stationed in Jinzhou. Qin Zhongxiao, the commander of the Xiongwei Army, is currently in Zizhou. In addition to my Xiongbian Army, these people have a little combat power. In addition, Li Xianzhong, the commander of Xingyuan, has thousands of remnants. They are currently stationed in Mian.  Zhou, let Zhang Zhen, the general manager of his subordinates, be in charge. "Hmm." Zheng Yunming responded and asked, "What else?"  We have a large army, but only a few sergeants are stationed in various places. We can't count on them in a big battle." Wang Kui calmed down a little and became bolder in speaking: "That bitch Wang Shixian is still stationed in Puzhou. Officials cannot underestimate the enemy.  , Just stick to Jiading Mansion and wait for Wang Shixian to return north on his own. "Zheng Yunming laughed: "You don't know, our army's tactics are slightly different from other armies." He turned to Wang Deng, who was at the head.  Jing Song, what do you think we should do next?" Wang Deng said without thinking: "Bring the camp forward, approach the enemy, enter Puzhou first, and then follow Wang Shixian's troops along the way, neither attacking nor retreating, and harassing them along the way.  Waiting for the right opportunity." Wang Kui said in surprise: "The officials don't know anything. Going north from Jiading Mansion, the road is flat and open. It is the terrain where Wang Shixian's cavalry shows its prowess. Most of the officials are infantry.  We encountered Wang Shixian in the wilderness. How to fight? " "The way our army marches is slightly different from that of ordinary armies," Zheng Yunming said, "Does the commander dare to go with me to Polu? " Wang Kui wanted to refuse, but Zheng Yunming did not.  The title of Dutong was higher than his own, and Peng Daya had previously sent a letter to inform him that Zheng Dutong was here under the order of the Privy Council to protect Sichuan, and he would exercise command power wherever he went, and generals everywhere would not disobey him.  If he didn't go, wouldn't it be an open disobedience?  If Zheng Yunming were alone, he would be nothing more than a white-faced scholar.  But his army was now spread inside and outside the city, so how could he dare to disobey him? In his anxiety, he had to keep looking at Zhang Yimu, the prefect of Jiading.  Zhang Yimu sighed in his heart, how domineering and arrogant this king Yaksha is on weekdays.?Now that I have seen the arrival of more evil, I am as obedient as a kitten, completely different from what I used to be.  But King Yaksha is the only remaining backbone general in Western Shu after all, so he has to be protected.  So he said: "The Tatar cavalry come and go like the wind. What if Wang Shixian takes the opportunity to attack Jiading after the pacifiers leave? I would like to pacify the king and stay in Jiading to calm people's hearts." Wang Kuilian claimed that it was true, and then said: "I  I asked my subordinate Xiao General Liu Fang to bring two thousand elite men with him to help the officials. "Zheng Yunming originally didn't want to take Wang Kui with him, but with Wang Kui by his side, it would be a hindrance to do things.  Now that the army from Xishu has joined the headquarters, the location of the guide is not a problem, and there is an intention to unite the guest and main armies, the goal has been achieved.  So he turned to another question of concern: "Since ancient times, Sichuan has been inhabited by Han and Yi people. Are there no brave and capable warriors among these foreigners?"  In Songpan Tubo, there are large and small southwestern barbarians in the south, and even in the heartland areas such as Chengdu and Chongqing, there are also a large number of Liao people living together.  The Sichuan army has a tradition of recruiting barbarians to serve in the army since Wuhou.  Wang Kui responded: "Why not? If we use barbarians, there is a ready-made army that can be mobilized. The Sizhou area of ??Bozhou in eastern Sichuan has been the place where barbarian kings have lived since ancient times. Yang Jie, the pacifier of Bozhou, has inherited the position of pacifier, and there is also the pacifier of Bozhou in eastern Sichuan.  The Xiongwei army has a unified name. When he calls out in Bozhou, tens of thousands of barbarians are available. Why do he need to recruit troops from other places? "The Yang family in Bozhou is one of the largest tribes among the southwestern barbarians. The Yang family is a Han from Hedong.  Because of his meritorious service in driving away the Nanzhao troops who were entrenched in Bozhou during the Tang Dynasty, he was granted the title of Marquis of Bozhou, and this position was hereditary.  Song Yin followed it.  Bozhou has a vast territory of thousands of miles, and there are many Tibetan tribes. Tens of thousands of barbarians can be summoned at a single call. Zheng Yunming also believes that they have such ability.  Now that the war is approaching Bozhou, it is reasonable to recruit Bozhou troops to participate in the war.  However, even for internal barbarians like the Southwest Barbarians, it is not a simple matter to recruit them.  Zheng Yunming had no choice but to deal with it later. All his energy now must be used to deal with the current enemy, Gongchang's cheap commander Wang Shixian.  At this time, Wang Shixian was obviously planning to make one final plunder, and then return north with the plunder.  His goal was to enrich Jiading Prefecture in southern Sichuan with the profits of salt and iron.  The small setback in Wuxin City was only a superficial loss to him, but it also allowed him to see that Jiading guard Wang Kui was indeed not an easy person to deal with as expected.  So he ordered the vanguard officer Fenglong Marshal Wang Jun to lead 2,000 armored cavalry as the vanguard, bypassing Puzhou City and heading straight for Wuxin City.  Wang Shixian was born into a wealthy family in Longnan, and he himself was from the Wang Gu tribe.  The Ganlong cavalry under him are extremely elite and unparalleled.  Even the second prince, Kuo Duan, was full of praise for the combat effectiveness of his cavalry, believing that they were not inferior to the elite troops of the Mongolian cavalry.  Since Sui Kuoduan attacked Shu, he has indeed seen no opponents along the way.  As long as they encountered Song troops in the wild along the way, the Ganlong cavalry only needed to charge, and the enemy troops would immediately scatter and collapse, unable to organize effective resistance at all.  Because of this, Wang Jun ordered each team not to make warning arrangements, but to divide into several cavalry groups and advance towards Wuxin City separately.  He firmly believed that as long as the Song army dared to go out of the city to fight, even if there were three to four thousand people, his cavalry group of four to five hundred people along the way would be enough to contain them, and then all the armies would encircle them to ensure total annihilation.  This was a tactic he used to lure the enemy in order to capture the main force of the Song army.  To the north of Wuxin City is a hill called Mao'er Mountain. A small river flows in front of the mountain. There is a wooden bridge on the river to facilitate passage. In addition, the river is too fast to wade across.  Maoershan blocks the road leading to Wuxin City, so it can also be regarded as one of the traffic intersections.  Wang Jun's vanguard officer led more than 300 cavalry to arrive first.  Before they got close to Mao'er Mountain, they saw more than thirty cavalrymen moving across the river from a distance. In Jiading, they were the most advanced Mongolian soldiers. The vanguard immediately concluded that this small group of cavalry must be spies of the Song Dynasty.  , immediately led his headquarters and sent troops to cover up the attack.  When the thirty or so cavalrymen saw the Mongolian cavalry coming from the opposite side, they seemed to be frightened. They turned their horses and fled southward in a hurry. The vanguard led his troops to pursue them without thinking. After crossing the wooden bridge, the more than three hundred cavalrymen followed the road.  The cavalry of the Song Army pursued them to the south of Mao'er Mountain, where there was a forest. The vanguard hesitated for a moment and concluded that most of the Song Army was huddled in Jiading City and there would be no ambush here, so they ordered to get into the woods and continue the pursuit.  The result is naturally conceivable. Elite soldiers of the Zhenwu Army were ambushed in the woods. After the Mongolian cavalry rushed into the forest, they were immediately attacked by ambush troops rushing out from all directions. The Song army poked at them with long spears and fired firecrackers to scare them.  More than 300 horses were caught off guard, most of them were captured alive, and some were annihilated.  The remaining people turned around and fled, only to find that the wooden bridge had already been demolished by the Song army, and was blocked by the river in the north of Mao'er Mountain. The Song army divided its forces from upstream and downstream of the river to attack and annihilated all the Mongolian cavalry.
