Chapter 1165
At noon, the sky in the northwest of China in mid-February was clear and the sky was high and cloudy.

Chasing and fleeing continued in the north, and the Yuan army was defeated even by Qixue, and a vast expanse poured into the desert to the north.

The cavalry of the Tang Army pursued them.

In Yingpan Mountain in the south, countless captives, horses, cattle and sheep, and baggage were brought over, creating a noisy scene.

A sea jellyfish flew high and circled.

It looked down, and what it saw was black torrents flocking to one place in all directions, like spider webs covering the earth.So it beeped in dissatisfaction, flew eastward, crossed Helan Mountain, and disappeared into the sky.

Li Xia heard Yingxi, looked up, and murmured: "Next time, you will be my trophy."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shun has already brought her back."

Before Li Xia could turn around, the pregnant Duo Siman walked up to him quickly, hugging him and crying.

At this time, Wulu Hunai hadn't returned to the camp yet, so Li Xia snatched him back directly.

This time Duo Siman was very emotional, and he didn't listen to Li Xia's consolation at all, and hugged him and complained about his grievances.However, one after another good news came from around, and there was so much good news, she still couldn't help but turn around, asking all kinds of things non-stop.

Finally, a soldier held a few small boxes found from Hulahuer's team, opened them and saw that they were full of gold, silver and jewels, Duo Siman straightened his eyes, forgot to get angry, and worried about Li Xia and said: "You Will Eji be angry if you bring me back?"

"Can our cavalry continue to chase?"

After that, he whispered to himself again.

As Lu Xiufu said, he saluted meticulously, his eyes were still clear and pure.

"The area to the north of Helan Mountain is desert. Kublai Khan has fled into the desert. As long as you go northeast, you can reach Dengkou."

Only then did the soldiers and horses captured from Hulahuer's command be dealt with, and the generals under Shi Tianze's command were sent over again.

Li Xia had seen his haggard look a long time ago, so he helped him to sit aside.

"Before I left Chang'an, the military factory built two new cannons. Marshal Liu arranged them to go to Wuguan, transferred General Lu and some old soldiers, and replaced them with recruits from Sichuan..."

While talking, the two walked back to the generals, and the topic turned back to the current battle.

"Your Majesty." Desu Amu said: "General Yang has been chasing Kublai Khan and capturing him, and asked the last general to find the surrendered Mongolian kings to confirm..."

"Liu Yuanli has a calm personality and can be trusted."

"Yes, standing in front of you are the descendants of Genghis Khan, the great Khan of Mongolia, and the emperor of Yuan Dynasty."

"She's not going to be mad, and she's got a lot of loot too."

Few Mongolians can manage their beards so smoothly.

Soon, I saw Li Zengbo, supported by Lu Xiufu, Song He, Pi Feng and others, walking slowly onto the battle stage.

"Really? The concubine Nahe was captured? Did the princess of the Lu Kingdom, Soer Hahan, be captured?"

"Sweat profusely!"

Fortunately, Gao Changshou arrived in Chang'an in time, and the situation in Guanzhong slowed down a bit, so Lian Xixian dared to call the shots and let the troops continue to rush to the Helan Mountain battlefield.

In the distance, some teams unconsciously stopped their pursuit and looked over here.

It was a joke that was not funny, but everyone around laughed out loud, as lively as the Chinese New Year.

"Old Marshal Li said that he was only here to report the details of the Battle of the Three Gates, so as not to delay His Majesty's handling of urgent military affairs."

These experiences can only be said in a few words.However, during the entire battle, the mobilization of soldiers and horses from all over the country to the northwest, the need to arrange food and supplies, the planning of marching routes, and all kinds of imaginable and unimaginable troubles, it was precisely the officials including Lu Xiufu who worked hard It was hard work to arrange it properly.

Duo Si couldn't help but pursed her lips and said, "I know, she has no right to be angry with my husband anymore."

The excitement seemed to be contagious, and more and more soldiers of the Tang army cheered, and finally, the sound moved the whole field.

"It was Li Qing's victory at the third pass that was able to defeat Kublai Khan." Li Xia said, "I still want to tire Li Qing again so that the world can be unified."

He took out a portrait and compared it with the prisoner who was coming from the opposite side.

A calm and majestic voice suddenly interrupted Desu'am's words.

After the details of the Battle of Three Passes were explained, Li Xia changed the subject.

He was able to begin to personally intervene in the pursuit of Khubilai.

"How is the battle in Guanzhong?"

The prisoner was a Mongolian, tall and strong, about fifty years old, with a bushy beard and braids on his head.

"Behind the team over there, I have been waiting for a while."

"It's just that Boyan should not be underestimated."

According to the identities of Li Zengbo and Lu Xiufu, of course there is no need to wait in the back.

"..."

Soon, Desu'am approached.

When he was in a state of desperation, he suddenly heard a report: "Your Majesty, Old Marshal Li and Mr. Lu have arrived."

This is also the reason why Guanzhong was panicked for a while and almost sent back the follow-up troops.

It is just that people feel refreshed on happy events, and the injuries, fatigue, and sorrow caused by wars are also washed away.

When I arrived at Youfanggou, I suddenly heard a loud voice coming from the front, and I gradually heard it from far to near.

"Sweaty..."

"really."

Although Lu Xiufu didn't have much performance on the battlefield, he was actually one of the great heroes behind the scenes.But when talking about the process, he played down his own credit, and quietly pushed the credit to others.

The reason why he asked this question was that Boyan almost broke through Tongguan as reported in the Journal.

"The most important thing right now is to expand the results of the battle and finish the battle of Helan Mountain."

"I went to Pingqiang Fort to inquire about Mr. Lian, and then rushed back to Lanzhou overnight. According to Mr. Lian's strategy, he dispatched troops from all walks of life and crossed Helan Mountain..."

Li Zengbo was stunned for a moment, his wrinkled face intentionally expressed grievance, and said: "Your Majesty is afraid that the old minister will not be exhausted."

After listening to it probably once, Li Xia's expression relaxed.

"The captive master has been captured!"

Of course he was tired.

"They? Wait?" Li Xia asked in surprise, "Why don't you just come here?"

Li Zengbo was moved when he heard it, but his voice was very hoarse.

This man has both the roughness of the Mongols and some habits of the Han people.

After hearing this Mongolian sentence, Li Xia asked back, "Are you Kublai Khan?"

Li Xia had already stepped forward to support his skinny arm, jokingly said: "You are afraid of delaying urgent military affairs, but the most urgent thing now is to invite you to handle military affairs."

Li Xia was completely overwhelmed.

This is a portrait of Kublai Khan found by the Military Intelligence Department in Beidi last year. Li Xia has already seen it, and is not very good at identifying people with this kind of portrait.

Li Xia was very surprised, and he immediately took a look, only to see that Desu'amu was leading a team and escorting a person towards this side.

He rode his horse to the north while discussing with Lin Zi.

"Tell me about Liu Yuanli's adjustments to Guanzhong's defense, and the details."

Each of them was wounded and limped when they walked, but they all had a look of relief on their faces, and a look too happy to know how to celebrate.

"The horses are already tired from running, and too many troops are needed to control the captives. It is difficult to encircle the desert, so we can only pursue them tightly."

Lu Xiufu knew no more about this matter than Li Xia, and in the end he just said: "In the recent battle report, Marshal Gao is still confronting Boyan, and there is no bad news. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Li Xia said: "I remember the battle of Qishan Road, and you were also handling many affairs after the war?"

~~
The battle is still going on.

Li Xia thought for a while, and simply agreed.

"My minister is fortunate. In the past, I saw His Majesty defeat Wang Liangchen and regain Guanlong; now I see His Majesty defeat the captive chieftains and regain the Central Plains."

"According to our speculation, Tuohu's troops and Yang Wen'an's defeated troops may have retreated to the Dengkou area."

Speaking of this, Li Xia and Lu Xiufu walked for more than ten steps one after the other, and left the crowd.

"The old minister leads the order..."

"General Yang is catching up, and General Lu is deploying defenses to the east to prevent Kublai Khan from converging with Tuohu..."

More details of the Battle of Three Passes were told by Lu Xiufu.

Li Xia sighed with emotion and hurriedly called them over.

At that time, the Battle of Helan Mountain was in full swing. In order not to affect the morale of the army, they suppressed the news. It was only now that Li Xia was able to ask him face to face.

Although he was wearing unlined clothing, it was clearly a match for the Mongolian Great Khan's white robe, including boots.

Under the battle platform, the soldiers who came to report the military situation to Li Xia consciously lined up in a long line.

Lu Xiufu didn't hear clearly, and asked, "Your Majesty?"

"Although I don't know what great cause could be greater than regaining the Central Plains, I have devoted myself to it."

"Woooooo... Eji said he would take me back to Yili River, I thought you didn't want me anymore."

"Haha."

"Here?" Li Xia turned his head to look, but he didn't see Li Zengbo and Lu Xiufu on the stage, so he asked, "Where are they?"

~~
Now that these talents who can manage military affairs have arrived, Li Xia left all the finishing work after the war to them.

"Isn't there a war these days? You, Eji, have a lot of soldiers. Let you be safer in her tent."

"I came with General Lu. At that time, General Pi had stood firm in Hongjinggou for a long time. He resisted Zhang Hongfan's strong attack in a bloody battle. The main force of the Wang division came up, annihilating and capturing a large number of Yuan army troops. Only Zhang Hongfan led a small group of remnants and fled. Into the depths of Helan Mountain..."

Li Xia said: "I look forward to working with you to achieve greater greatness."

During the process, Li Zengbo refused one after another, saying "I dare not trouble Your Majesty for help", and finally sat down, every wrinkle on his face seemed to say "Your Grace is deep".

"The captive master has been captured!"

"Li Xia, I didn't expect Ben Khan to meet you like this."

Lin Zi was also in a daze, muttering: "Kublai Khan?"

The more timid Xue Jun cried, the more excited Tang Jun was around.

"Veteran sees Your Majesty." Li Zengbo took the lead in saluting, "Xingqing Mansion was defeated, and I finally..."

There were many captured Mongols around, all crying loudly.

He has been hunted down all his life, and this is the first time for Li Xia to hunt down others, so he has very little experience.

"really?"

What responded to Li Xia was a contemptuous smile. After the Mongolian prisoner smiled, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face gradually became stern, appearing more majestic.

Lin Zi's gaze has been back and forth between the portrait and his face many times, he opened his mouth, hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, it seems that he is really Kublai Khan?"

Li Xia's eyes fell on this Kublai Khan's hand...
