Chapter 1087 Ansai City

More than [-] miles north of Yan'an City, Saimenzhai has now been changed to Ansai City.

The Yanhe River still meanders through the high slopes of the loess, and the Yaogu Mountain is densely covered with fortifications and towering towers.

Yang Wen'an, the ten thousand households of the Dayuan Guanjun stationed here, seldom went south to fight Zhang Jue in recent years, and spent more time building cities and fortifications, turning Anzhai City into a new Dahuo City in central Sichuan.

Since the rise of Li Xia, the era of building a fortress to defend Shu has basically passed, and those mountain cities have withdrawn from the battlefield of world disputes.Only here, it seems to have returned to the difficult years when the soldiers and civilians in central Shu gritted their teeth to resist the invasion of the Mongolian army.

However, the world is unpredictable. Now it is not the Mongolian and Song Dynasties, but the Yuan army is building a fortress to resist the attack of the Tang army.

From the Yuan Dynasty to the third year of the Yuan Dynasty, July [-]th.

Inside a tent in Ansai City, a man and a woman were panting hard.

"what……"

A woman from the Wanggu tribe named "Agaiwu" pressed Yang Wen'an tightly with her legs, and said, "Strong man, you have conquered me..."

Yang Wen'an was already profusely sweating, he let out a long breath, lay down beside her, and asked in not-so-fluent Mongolian: "Are you comfortable?"

He actually learned Mongolian very early, but after so many years, he is still so blunt when speaking Mongolian.

"En." Agaiwu turned around and hugged Yang Wen'an, closed his eyes, stroked his arm, and said, "Why are you so strong?"

"Is Nang Sidan weak?"

"It's meaningless to mention what he does." Agaiwu said dissatisfiedly: "He drinks and plays with women every day. He used to hunt, but now he doesn't even ride a horse. With the woman that King Zhao gave him, he hasn't had a horse for two years. touched me."

"If he doesn't stay here and be Dalu Huachi well, what is he going to Baotou for? He hasn't come back for so long."

"I sent someone to ask, and they said that he welcomed King Yan in Baotou a few months ago."

"King Yan came to sit in Hetao?"

"It seems to be going to the west. Nang Sidan doesn't know much about it. But don't worry, it's not for you."

Yang Wen'an asked again: "He welcomed King Yan a few months ago, and he hasn't come back yet?"

"He is now helping King Zhao prepare to marry Princess Yuelie, and he will not come back until next spring." Agaiwu turned over, leaned into Yang Wen'an's ear, and said with a smile: "We can have fun as much as we want .”

Yang Wen'an stretched out his big hand to rub it for her, and asked again: "Can't the caravan from the north come?"

"It's so good... As you know, the trade routes in the Western Regions have been blocked since last year, and even my Wotu caravan has never returned."

There was some faint displeasure in Yang Wen'an's eyes.

He couldn't say how much he liked Agaiwu, and the reason why he committed adultery with her was to use her and control her husband Nang Sidan.

Nang Sidan is a small leader of the Wanggu tribe.

The Wanggu Tribe was a fusion of various tribes north of Yinshan Mountain. Genghis Khan married his third daughter, Ara Haibeji, to the leader of the Wanggu Tribe. They were regarded as in-laws of the Golden Family, and their sphere of influence was in the Hetao area.

After Yang Wen'an became Marshal of the capital, the Yuan court arranged for Nang Sidan to serve as Daluhuachi.

Although this matter is customary, Yang Wen'an doesn't like it.

The reason why he chose to be an official in the Yuan Dynasty was not because of his loyalty to Kublai Khan or for the righteousness of the country of Meng Yuan.The purpose is not just that the marshals of one side have high positions, are inherited from generation to generation, and are arbitrary in political affairs.

That's why Yang Dayuan once wanted to join Li Xia, so he resolutely stopped him.

Fortunately, Nang Sidan is a good-for-nothing who only knows how to enjoy happiness. After he came to serve as Dalu Huachi, he did not interfere with Yang Wen'an, but brought him many benefits.

In addition to bringing Agaiwu to commit adultery with him, he also moved a large number of herdsmen from Yinshan and Hetao, and opened up trade routes, making Ansai City flourish, and Yang Wen'an's strength gradually became stronger...

Therefore, when Nang Sidan was not around in recent months, Yang Wen'an still had some concerns.

Agaiwu sensed his displeasure, and said again: "Don't worry, the Great Khan has ordered King Mangela to attack the Western Regions, and when the rebellion is quelled, the trade routes will be open again."

If it were other northern Han people, they would be more concerned about calling Kublai Khan the emperor rather than the Great Khan.

On the contrary, Yang Wen'an, a southerner, didn't care, and said to himself: "When the Western Regions are pacified, the struggle for the position of Khan will really end, right? After resting for three to five years, the Khan will be able to go back and attack Li Xia and Zhao Song." "

"At that time, you must be the first to break through Chang'an, and then occupy Sichuan and Sichuan. Now the territory of the Tang Kingdom is all yours." Agaiwu knew Yang Wen'an's ambitions too well, and said: "You will beat Tata The territories of King Chaer and King Goryeo are even bigger."

If Yang Wen'an wanted to be on par with Shi Tianze, Zhang Rou and other nobles in the past, as the nobles have become low-key in the past two years, his ambition seems to be even greater.

In fact, he is not without a chance.

Looking at the encirclement and suppression of Li Xia in various important towns over the years, he has done the best.

If there is no Li Xia, there may not be a new great prince in the process of Meng Yuan's unification of the world.But now, Li Xia's rise has given Yang Wen'an the possibility to seal the soil.

Agaiwu felt his excitement, continued to approach him, stroked his face, and said in a low voice: "You will become a prince and king, you are more brave than every king I have ever seen..."

Ambitious Yang Wen'an quickly reacted again. He held Agaiwu's not-so-slender waist with both hands, pressed her on the carpet, and rode on her almost roughly.

It took a while for Agaiwu's loud cry to subside, and suddenly there was a "boom" in the distance.

Yang Wen'an stopped, stood up without hesitation, and put on his clothes.

"War?" Agaiwu scolded dissatisfiedly: "Damn Han people, Zhang Jue will be killed by you sooner or later."

Yang Wen'an glanced at her indifferently, and put on his belt.

"Your robe." Agaiwu stood up, pointed to a Mongolian robe thrown by the carpet, and said, "The robe that the Great Khan gave you..."

Yang Wen'an had already lifted the curtain, glanced at the sunshine in July, and walked out without looking back.

……

"Master."

"How's the battle going?"

"Zhang Jue made a surprise attack and attacked our city wall with artillery. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief was prepared to wrap the wall we rammed with big blue bricks. No matter how big the hole he made, we will fill it up at night..."

The war between Ansai City and Yan'an Mansion has not lasted for a day or two, but for many years.

Yang Wen'an did not neglect, but strode up the Yaogu Mountain and the tall watchtower.

The light from the amethyst jade can't cover the pale yellow of the Loess Plateau, and the mountain plateaus are full of ravines, which is desolate.

Ansai City is on the upper reaches of the Yanhe River, and Yang Wen'an can send ships to destroy the Tang army's artillery at any time, so Zhang Jue dare not push the artillery closer.It is impossible to break through the walls of Ansai City by bombarding them from a distance like this.

In the past few years, Zhang Jue has tried countless times to attack frontally, but just like the battle between Dahuo City and Diaoyu City, it is almost impossible to break through if he is reluctant to suffer casualties.

After watching the Tang army's momentum, Yang Wen'an quickly made a judgment.

"Zhang Jue is feinting to attack from the front. He must have sent someone to go around and attack Xiazhou. Send me a fast horse to remind my brother, don't be attacked by Zhang Jue."

"Yes!"

"Send a messenger to Baotou to tell King Tachaer about the change of Tang Jun."

"Yes……"

Yang Wen'an also felt a little puzzled as he ordered the arrangements one after another.

He didn't think this was a good time for Zhang Jue to attack aggressively. This kind of confrontation required a huge amount of troops and food.But Li Xia's Tang State did not have such national strength at all.

Instead, he is the one who can ask Tachar for help at any time.

From this point of view, it is very unwise for Zhang Jue to send troops deep and take a detour to attack Xiazhou, and it is very likely that he will fall into the siege of the Yuan army.

Yang Wen'an couldn't figure it out, thinking that the situation elsewhere might have changed.

But what exactly it is, he still doesn't know yet.

After all, the generals that Li Xia has arranged on the sidelines these years, such as Zhang Jue, Li Zengbo, Lian Xixian, Liu Yuanzhen, etc., are all very good people; , including the current Boyan, and him, Yang Wen'an, are also the number one handsome talent in the world.The two sides have been deadlocked for several years, and it is actually difficult to make any major changes.

These are Yang Wen'an's instinctive grasp of the situation, and he has confidence in the depth of the entire defense line behind him.

Even if the general situation changes, with his management and reserves, the defense line in northern Shaanxi is enough to last for half a year.

With this confidence, Yang Wen'an had a rough strategic idea at the beginning of the war.

"There is no need to rush to block the Tang army who is going around. If they dare to learn the Mongols' mediation scheme, let them learn, and then let them come and go..."

~~
"Yan'an Mansion is very close to Xingqing Mansion. This area is basically the battlefield of the Song-Xia War. You see, we crossed the Yellow River from Xingqing Mansion to the east to Lingzhou, and then to the east is Xiazhou. "

"Your Majesty, it is not so much the Song-Xia War, but the Xia-Liao War in terms of terrain."

Li Zengbo shook his head at this point, and felt that only the borders were slightly similar, but the battle situation was completely different.

From the perspective of the battle situation, if you want to occupy the Hetao from south to north, there may be no precedent for hundreds of years.

He sighed, and continued to perfect the strategy with Li Xia.

"Calculating the time, Zhang Jue should have sent troops to surround Yang Wen'an, right? If this nail can be pulled out this time, there will be no great cities and towns along the way to the north." Li Zengbo thought for a while, then said: " The veteran already understands how to fight this battle, please trust the veteran."

"I trust Li Qing."

"Then your majesty can go back to Chang'an, and the rest will be left to the veteran."

"Don't worry, if you drag Tachaer a little longer, Zhang Jue's pressure will be much less."

Li Zengbo shook his head and said, "Zhang Jue is under less pressure, but it will be difficult for the old minister here."

"I trust Li Qing."

Li Zengbo finally said: "Tachal has already besieged the city with heavy troops. If His Majesty does not break through, the old minister will not be at ease, but will be worried."

"Let him try whether [-] troops are enough to surround and kill me."

"As long as you surround His Majesty, he can send more troops."

"Then let him transfer, let's see where Meng Yuan can transfer troops from."

"The war is intensifying, and Kublai Khan is personally conscripted... Forgive me for my honest words, Your Majesty wants to repeat the old trick and once again attract the enemy in person. However, Xingqing Mansion is not Xiangyang, Meng Yuan is not Zhao Song, and Kublai Khan is definitely not Zhao Yu's child comparable."

"Let him come."

Li Xia said: "Now it is Kublai Khan who wants to settle the Western Regions and Tubo, so I have to take the opportunity to advance. Even if it is a decisive battle now, it is better than waiting for him to prepare for a decisive battle. If he has the ability, he will call back the troops in the Western Regions and Mobei. Instead, let's see if Luwu Hunai and Haidu will take the opportunity to expand their territory; see if Brother Alibu died less than two years ago, and whether the Mobei Mongolian tribes have completely bowed to Kublai Khan; look at Kublai Khan I can't bear to part with the grassland, and I can't bear to part with the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia.

Anyway, I am personally conscripted by the imperial driver, and Kublai Khan will come soon.Otherwise, it is okay to encircle and kill me with Tachaer's ability, and use troops to fill it up. Fifty thousand and one hundred thousand are not enough. No matter how incompetent I am, I am stronger than the late emperor of Xixia. "

Perhaps to fulfill his words of comparison with the last emperor of Xixia, soon some generals rushed over to report.

"Your Majesty, Marshal Li, the Yuan army has started to build embankments outside the city, and they probably want to flood Xingqing Mansion..."
