Chapter 1158
At night, Pingqiang Fort.

"Mr. Lian, people are coming!"

Lian Xixian turned his head eagerly and asked, "Come?! Who's here?"

The guard outside the door turned sideways to welcome a travel-worn person in.

The man took off his veil, revealing a young and delicate haggard face.

"Junshi?"

Lian Xixian knew Lu Xiufu, and the two of them didn't meet many times. After Li Xia ascended the throne, Lu Xiufu resigned from office and went to teach in Longxi.

Someone listed a few famous people who are young, talented and famous in the world today, and there are two of them, as well as Zhang Fanhong, Wen Yunsun, and maybe this year there is one more boy Yan who has been the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty.

When they met at this time, Lian Xixian was deeply surprised.

"It's really Junshi, why did you come here?"

Lian Xixian understood, quickly turned away the people around him, and then said: "But something happened in Guanzhong? The troops sent by Liu Yuanli should have arrived long ago, why haven't they arrived?"

Basically, it can be said that he has completed the initial strategic conception.

"Yes. The mountains in the south are not high, and there is a river after turning over. I tried to explore the horse, and the river looks very dangerous, but as long as I avoid a few dangerous shoals, I can swim across the river. After that, I can cross a section of cliff valley."

Yang Wenzhong turned his head and asked: "You just said 'if you win', do you think that there is still a possibility of defeat by His Majesty's personal conquest?"

Everyone on the battlefield is waiting for this news.

He knew it was the last moment.Whether it is victory or defeat, the dice have already been rolled out, just wait for it to be opened, so there is no need to lose your momentum.

"Understood." Yang Wenzhong said: "If we can defeat Lian Xixian, can we help His Majesty defeat Li Xia?"

Fortunately, Yang Wen'an was good at defending, he defended the city, and did not give Lian Xixian a chance to break the city.

But in the current situation, if the chance of victory does not appear again, it seems that it is safer to abandon the camp and go south if only to survive.

"Both we and Li Zengbo came on an urgent march, and we didn't bring much luggage." Zhang Hongfan began to talk about the situation of the battle.

"Master."

Li Xia, who was fighting with the whole country for the first time, was not very good at strategic command, and sometimes felt difficult to grasp.

"It's difficult." Yang Wen'an shook his head, letting himself get rid of this thought.

Such things as aura are not really superior to others just by riding an elephant.

"Speak softly."

"Does the Tang army have any follow-up troops? Heh. After all, Tuohu has gathered his troops and horses, so it's time to set them up?"

Before entering the topic, Zhang Hongfan pointed to the east side, and said, "Yang Wen'an secretly gave me a nickname, calling me a loyal dog."

"Brother, you see, what the Mongols are best at is conspiracies, plundering, plundering again and again, and emptying out the enemy's national power. But this time, Kublai Khan was afraid of the artillery of the Tang army. It’s worth besieging and killing Li Xia in one fell swoop. Now it’s a decisive battle, and the situation of the battle has become like this, the victory or defeat is no longer in the hands of Kublai Khan and Li Xia.”

On the entire battlefield, perhaps all the commanders understood this truth.

At this juncture, the two trust each other, their abilities are very strong, and this battle has the meaning of winning.

Some scouts came from the east of the valley.

"With Lian Xixian's reputation, it won't happen. He is just procrastinating, waiting for the follow-up troops."

Pingqiang Fort, Sanguankou, Suyukou, Dingyuanying...

He tapped his fingers in several places.

"Zhang Wenqian went to recruit Lian Xixian again today?"

"good."

Zhang Hongfan said, and clicked a location on the map.

"Brother Shanfu." Lu Junshi quickly caught up, looked around, and pretended to be whispering.

The formation and march of troops on all walks of life have almost been completed, and the battles in various small battlefields are becoming increasingly fierce.

Li Xia thought about it, but it was rare to start to hesitate.

"It's about time, it's almost time."

The two had a tacit understanding and both understood what it meant.It's nothing more than Yang Wen'an's unreliability, and he has to rely on himself to win.in addition.Zhang Hongfan also expressed his determination to conquer the third pass with all his strength.

"I don't really want him to come." Yang Wen'an suddenly changed the subject and asked, "What do you think of Xingqing Mansion, Brother?"

Lu Xiufu took a deep look at him, and resisted not turning his head to glance at the letter on the desk.

At the end, he said again: "The news is not yet clear. General Xu doesn't know whether to wait for Marshal Liu's order, or continue to go north. We dare not say anything, because we are worried that the morale of the army will be shaken, so we just came to ask you."

~~
The tenth day of February.

"We." Yang Wen'an said, "We have generals from all walks of life."

"Continue to go north."

Lu Xiufu was silent for a while.

Zhang Hongfan strode across the battlefield, raised his binoculars and looked up the hill to the north.

"Let's go, I'm willing to bet and admit defeat." Li Xia murmured in his heart.

He made a detour and finally occupied the valley.What we have to do now is to completely defeat the Tang army who fled to the top of the mountain, and there are only a thousand or so soldiers left.

The national destiny of the two countries has been handed over to them.

Moreover, as they said before the battle, no factors other than the battlefield will be allowed to spoil the battle situation.

Lian Xixian occupied this place, so that Yang Wen'an could neither cut off the Tang army's supplies, nor dared to leave Xingqing Mansion to support Kublai Khan.

Dead bodies were everywhere in the valley.

The Sanguankou post road is an official road facing east and west. It needs to pass through the valley at the Helan Mountain section. The Dead Man Mountain is at the westernmost part of the valley.And Zhang Hongfan refers to a place called Hongjinggou.

"What do you mean? Who is in the hands of that?"

Yang Wen'an didn't answer, just frowned and looked at the sky, muttering: "Yes, then can we?"

"What do you think?"

"Brother Zhishanfu is in a hurry, but I came here specially to ask a question face to face..."

"The villain climbed up and watched, Tang Jun's follow-up reinforcements have already arrived, and it is estimated that they will arrive tomorrow."

As the Yuan army began to attack, the Mountain of the Dead became a veritable Mountain of the Dead.

"Then can we?"

"How did you know?"

~~
Xingqing House.

Lian Xixian smiled and said, "Junshi came here on purpose and asked me what this is?"

I don’t know which dynasty built Naping Qiang Fort. It was named after the meaning of calming down the Qiang people’s invasion. It faces Sanguankou Post Road in the west, Xingqing Fucheng in the north, the Yellow River in the east, and the only way to go south. road.

Yang Wen'an and Yang Wenzhong stood on the top of the city and pointed to the direction of Pingqiang Fort in the south.

"I don't know if Lian Xixian has seen him or not. Even if he agrees to surrender, who knows if it's a countermeasure."

But no one knows which team will be the first to lose or win. Everyone can only be cautious and wait.

Halfway through Lu Xiufu's speech, his eyes fell on the desk, and he suddenly froze slightly.

Lu Xiufu nodded, and whispered something in Lian Xixian's ear.

Zhang Hongfan just nodded his head, his expression calm.

Lian Xixian took two steps, and gestured with his finger on the map.

~~
February twelve.

He saw that it was a letter from home, signed "Lian Ximin", and the beginning of the letter was "My Brother Xixian".

"Military situation, can you still say?"

"it is good."

In fact, he still has another way - if the battle situation is unfavorable, he can give up the Dingyuan camp in Panshan.Concentrate troops to go south, join forces with Kongxian first, defeat Hulahuer in the south, and then join forces with Li Zengbo to defeat Shi Tianze and Zhang Hongfan.

……

"If Kublai Khan wins this battle, can I be the military and civilian chief of this place?"

The war has been so intense for some time.

He used his troops cautiously, and he would not be taken advantage of by enemy reinforcements during a fierce battle. Even in a sudden attack, the scouts scattered far away.

"He has soldiers under his command, and I pretend that I don't understand the words of Shu people."

Now in the various small battlefields on the east and west sides of Helan, only one of them needs to be the first to decide the outcome, and it can affect the whole body.

In the end, he shook his head and reasserted himself.

~~
Sanguankou, Hongjinggou.

Tang Jun's wheelbarrow could be seen everywhere, and the forage was scattered in a pool of blood.

Of course, this is only the most ideal situation. The actual situation is that half of his army is infantry and there are many supplies. Once he leaves the camp, it is more likely that he will be defeated first.

It was agreed that Zhang Hongfan would leave most of the soldiers and horses under Shi Tianze's command to attack Dead Man's Mountain, and personally lead a partial division to attack the rear.

"There's no time." Lian Xixian said, "I'll take it on, and order the generals to continue going north without delay!"

"Yes……"

But the two-day offensive was just a test, Shi Tianze and Zhang Hongfan quickly figured out the actual strength of Li Zengbo's troops, and started discussing immediately after withdrawing troops that day.

"This is?"

"Brother Shanfu is in charge, should His Majesty make the decision?"

"Li Zengbo is counting on the luggage from the east, and I have sent scouts to investigate. We only need to take down the mountain pass in the east to cut off Li Zengbo's luggage line and rob the luggage on this road."

"Thank you."

Zhang Hongfan didn't like this comparison, but knowing that Shi Tianze didn't mean any harm, he still responded with "Thank you".

"Calm down, isn't Kublai Khan not anxious? You can hold your breath better than him."

Zhang Hongfan narrowed his eyes and saw the arrow on his armor. He quickly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Pull out the arrow... have you met Tang Jun?"

"Yes."

"That's right, Zhang Wenqian is in the Xingqing mansion, and there are letters persuading him to surrender every day." Lian Xixian admitted frankly, "If I have any disagreements, I just took these letters and see you again."

"It's a good place. It's backed by Helan Mountain and facing the Yellow River. It's dangerous to rely on. It's also close to the south of the Yangtze River, so the water and soil are fertile. It's much better than Ansai City... but the population is too small."

Yang Wen'an turned his head to look at He Lanshan, thought for a while, and drew a rough picture of the situation on the wall with a dagger.

"You remind me of Shi Shu." Shi Tianze sighed.

"It's better not to be joking." Lu Xiufu said, "Meng Yuan is recruiting you?"

Shi Tianze asked: "Can it be bypassed?"

Shi Tianze said: "This is a good nickname, I envy you very much."

Thanks to this, he now has one more night to attack the hill and lay out a line of defense to block the post road at Sanguankou.

This chance to win the world in one battle, after all, still fell on his head.

As for the opposite side, Zhang Hongfan raised his binoculars again and looked at Tang Jun's general flag, on which was written the word "skin".

That is a nameless person...
