end song

"Run away!"

Shi Gang frantically lashed his horse with his whip.

Originally, he still had more than a thousand troops, and he might be able to kill Li Xia.But he didn't want to try anymore, Shu Zhenbo surrendered to Li Xia as if his head had been emptied, which made him have no confidence to fight any more.

He must obey his father's words and not die on the battlefield, which will deepen the hatred between the historian and Li Xia.Also, he didn't want to be captured.

Because Shi Tianze said that he would die for Dayuan, Shi Bang understood what his father meant, and didn't want to embarrass his father because he was captured.

"Quick! I must escape!"

However, the more flustered he was, the fewer soldiers and horses remained around him.

Finally, the rustle behind him became louder and louder, and a lasso was thrown from the sky. "Hey!"

Shi Gang fell to the ground and immediately drew out his dagger to commit suicide.The cold blade touched his skin, but he became afraid.

"Kill me! Kill me!"

No soldiers could care less about obeying his orders, because the cavalry behind him had already surrounded him.Shi Bang looked up and begged: "Boss Shuzhen, please let me go, I can't be captured." "I let you go, who let me go?"

"You go after Wang Yong, Wang Chen's damned son has run away, you go after him. Let me go?"

Shu Zhenbo's riding skills are superb, his fat body sits on the horse, but looks light and delicate, he circled around Shi Bang, and said: "I think clearly, you suffer, I suffer, everyone suffers, then It is better to let Kublai Khan suffer alone."

Shi Bang lay on the cold ground, chewing these words silently.

He didn't expect that he was a little bit persuaded by this stupid Mongolian nobleman.

Being dragged to the camp like a dead dog, Shi Bang looked and saw Li Xia sitting by a campfire.

There was blood dripping on his head, he looked up and saw Wang Chen's head still dripping blood on a long pole. "Damn, Yelang, a dog from Korea, is so arrogant that he killed me."

"I heard that you practice Taoism and are good at painting. You are an elegant person."

Shi Bang had to face Li Xia, but he hadn't figured out how to deal with it, so he stuttered. "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the name of the foreign minister?"

"I have an old relationship with your ninth younger brother, Shi Zhang."

Shi Bang thought in his heart, you are older than my brothers Shi Shu, Shi Ge, and Shi Quan, it is best to let their ghosts kill you. "So that's it. The foreigner really likes Lao Zhuang's studies. He has no intention of career in officialdom, so please ask him to be able." "Yes." Li Xia said, "I can let you go, as long as you tell the information you know one by one. , why not let you go?" "Really?"

Shi Gang couldn't believe it, but soon realized the risk behind this incident.

He felt his mouth dry, and began to hesitate whether to go back at the risk of the family being held accountable, or to die.Up to now, apart from death, there is no way to completely get rid of the family.

Shi Bang then looked at the tent next to him, meaning that he could secretly tell Li Xia. "What does Your Majesty want to know? How about I start with the Xingqing Mansion before the battle?" "Yes."

"Kublai Khan personally attacked Xingqing Mansion in October, and now those who escaped Helan Mountain are Li Zengbo's defeated soldiers. At the beginning of this battle, we thought that we would break through the city soon, but we didn't expect it."

~~
A war game is placed on a simple map.

Sajisi said: "Look, Your Majesty, these [-] cavalry are the Tang army. They took advantage of our confrontation with Ulu Hunai and bypassed Mount Hatu to rescue Li Zengbo."

"Then they have more than 3000 troops, more than me." Tachar asked, "Don't they want to defeat me?" "Their soldiers and horses are tired, and they want to go back to rest and fight again."

There was a look of embarrassment in Tachar's eyes.

His only strategy for this battle was to wait until Kublai Khan sent an army.

The news has been delivered, but it is not yet known when the army will arrive.

Now the only bargaining chip he has to contain the enemy is Li Zengbo, he can't let Li Zengbo go

Can't let it escape.Instead, it should be placed there like a bait to catch the two fishes Li Xia and Wulu Hunai.

"Your Majesty." Someone hurried over from outside the tent.

Tacha'er was a little displeased, and said, "What's the matter? I'm discussing something with Wang Xiang." "The sweat is here."

~~
Li Zengbo stood on the top of the mountain and looked at Tachar's camp in the distance for a long time, his hands were almost frozen on the binoculars by ice and snow. "Commander, the Yuan army hasn't attacked the mountain today, so they probably won't." Pang Pei came over and said, "He seems to besieging us on purpose."

"It's going to be Chinese New Year in a few days, right?"

"Yes. But the Yuan army obviously didn't stop attacking the mountains for the sake of the New Year. The last general was wondering if they wanted to encircle a point and send reinforcements?" Li Zengbo nodded and said, "It must be to encircle a point and send reinforcements."

"Then we escaped here, didn't we become the bait of the Yuan army?" Pang Pei was puzzled, and his face became anxious.If escaping would ruin the overall situation, he would rather die in Xingqing Prefecture.

Li Zengbo said: "We are bait, can Your Majesty be a fish? Don't worry, the reason for escaping is because I discussed with Lian Shanfu."

He didn't say what was discussed, it was nothing more than that the terrain of Qingtongxia was actually not easy to defend, and part of the main force of the Yuan army was restrained.

On the strategic level, although Li Zengbo, Lian Xixian, and Li Xia are far apart and their communication is not smooth, they have a tacit understanding with each other. If you live, I will take the initiative to help you with a little more burden.

It was this kind of coordination that between the three points of Xingqing Mansion, Western Regions, and Hetao, they kicked the Yuan army around like a ball, eliminating the gap between the enemy and ourselves.

"Handsome!"

Suddenly a soldier shouted: "Commander, look there!"

Li Zengbo quickly climbed to a higher place and looked southeast from the top of the mountain.

His legs and feet are already very inconvenient.

He raised the binoculars, squinted his eyes, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened, but he couldn't see anything in the wind and snow. "where?"

"That!"

After much difficulty, Li Zengbo finally found a black spot at the junction of heaven and earth.Gradually, the black dot became bigger and bigger, and finally became a black line.

For a long time afterwards, they watched it slowly spread out in the snow, boundless.Until a nine-pronged white banner appeared in the lookout tube.

Li Zengbo opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse.

"Our bait has also attracted Kublai Khan."~~
A huge stake had been knocked into the snow to hold the sweat tent in place.

Tachaer entered the sweat tent, walked all the way to the front row of the Mongolian clan, stood still, and bowed deeply to Kublai Khan.

"Great Khan. Winter is about to pass, and spring will come soon. I wish the Great Khan a triumphant return."

Kublai Khan didn't react too much, and said calmly: "When Ben Khan first arrived in the Hetao Grassland, Li Xia had less than 1 people around him, and now he has more than [-] troops. The more he fights, the more his soldiers and horses become stronger." Many. When will Ben Khan triumphantly return?"

Tachar was ashamed and replied, "I'm such a waste." Kublai Khan was noncommittal.

That is to say, Tachaer is the leader of the kings of the East, and the number one hero who helped him ascend to the throne of Khan.Otherwise, based on Tachar's performance in these wars, he will definitely take away Tachar's military power.

"It will be the Chinese New Year soon, Li Xia must really want to go back to Chang'an, and his mood is as anxious as an arrow."

"Don't worry, Khan, we will definitely keep Li Xia in Mobei." Tacha'er explained at this time: "In fact, Li Xia's troops have not increased. His Tang army has only [-] cavalry left. It is Wulu Hunai Come to support Li Xia. This is a good thing for us."

"A good thing?" Hulahuer asked back: "Then it's also a good thing that you keep losing battles. It will allow us to rule less territory and make it easier."

Tacha'er said: "Wulu Hunai left the Ili River Valley, and happened to encounter the Great Khan's own conquest. He defeated her and Li Xia at once, so as not to send a large army westward, saving rations, of course it is a good thing."

Kublai Khan said: "Bala, do you feel
what? A young man among the kings of Zong stood up.

His name was "Bala", he was the great-grandson of Chagatai, and he was a cousin of Mubalasha, the son of Ulu Kutai, and he followed Kublai Khan all the time.

In other words, he is now the most qualified person to inherit the Chagatai Khanate.

"Great Khan, I don't think Ulu Khurna considered herself a woman of the Golden Family. It was she who killed my uncle, and now my cousin, and pushed all this to the Great Khan. Head. I am willing to lead the army to defeat him and serve the Great Khan loyally forever."

"Very good." Kublai Khan nodded appreciatively, and said, "The pony on the grassland has grown into a steed, go prepare and wait for Ben Khan's order."

"Yes!"

Baci was overjoyed, bowed deeply, exited the tent, and went to prepare for the battle.He was determined to kill Ulu Hunai and win the Khan throne left by his ancestors.

Kublai Khan took a look in the tent, and said again: "Brother Sui stays, the others retreat."

Brother Sui was his concubine's younger brother, and he was not good at bowing horses. Perhaps the reason why he was brought into the army was that Kublai Khan didn't want brothers to sit behind him.

"Do you remember Ulu Khurnai?" Kublai Khan asked.

Brother Sui replied: "I remember, when I was young, she came to our Eji. She was very beautiful, her eyes were as bright as jewels, and her breasts were as full as mountains."

"You go to see her and ask her if she still remembers the kindness that the Tuolei family has shown her." "I won't go." Brother Sui said, "She will kill me."

"She won't kill you. You have pleaded for her, and you are kind to her." "No matter what Da Khan says, I won't go."

"Is your wife dying of illness? You can marry her." Brother Sui was stunned for a moment.

Kublai Khan got up, walked in front of him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Tell Ulu Khunai that Ben Khan promised to stop meddling with your Ulus. Ask her if she wants to fight Eight-thorn soldiers and horses, or do you want eight-thorn heads?"

Brother Sui was taken aback again, surprised by Kublai Khan's statement.

As long as Ulu Kunai was willing to surrender, Kublai Khan would even be willing to kill eight assassins.Today, when he walked out of the sweat tent, there was only one sentence left in his mind.

"Our Ulus? Our."~~
Chabi came down from the second floor of the Khan's tent, and said, "Great Khan. Ulu Hunai will not agree."

"It doesn't matter." Kublai Khan said, "She is a nostalgic person, she will not kill Brother Sui, as long as Brother Sui can see her is enough."

There was a look of thought in his eyes, and he said again: "Li Xia only has 3000 people left. This is the only sentence Tachar said right."

"Isn't Da Khan worried about Zhenjin and Brother Mang's assassination?" Chabi asked.

"Why isn't father worried about his son?" Kublai Khan said with iron eyes, "Only by defeating Li Xia this time can we save Manggela and find the real gold."

With that said, he had already looked at the map on the table.

This map was marked by Tachaer and Sajisi, and it clearly marked the troops on the west side of Helan Mountain.But Kublai Khan's eyes looked through the map and saw the whole battle situation.

He suddenly murmured. "It's really biased."

"What did Da Khan say is really wrong?"

"The battlefield is too remote." Kublai Khan said, "I originally thought that the decisive battle with Li Xia would be in Chang'an, or at least in Shaanxi. But now, why did you run to the west of Helan Mountain?"

"Is there something wrong?"

"Of course not. The battlefield is in Shaanxi, so Li Xia has scruples and fears, and he will be tied up when fighting. I was supposed to attack Tongguan, Yan'an Mansion, and Liupan Mountain, but he led me here."

Kublai Khan's eyes were deep.

He has already seen through Li Xia's mind.

But as long as Li Xia can be defeated, no matter where the battlefield is, it will be fine.
