Chapter 162
After meeting Shi Jun, Li Xia vaguely felt that becoming an official was different from other things. It was not just a matter of working hard, but also needed to manage and understand.

At that time in Lin'an, if he had talked with Jia Sidao a little more, Shi Jun might have answered those questions he asked, such as the candidates for the Sichuan appeasement system.

But after thinking about it again, Shangguan's appreciation is not something that can be flattered with a few words, and it doesn't bother him because of it.

He and Han Chengxu returned to the post house, just as Gao Changshou came back from the outside.

"Feiyu is back too." Gao Changshou smiled and said, "I have something to tell you."

"Let's talk about it on Cuiping Mountain." Li Xia said, "Let's take a look at the terrain."

"It's good to have a look at the terrain with you. If there is a war, Syria will bear the brunt."

They took Gao Mingyue, Han Qiaoer, Liu Jinsuo, and Han Qi'an with them, and left the city towards Cuiping Mountain in the west of the city.

Han Qiaoer was very happy, it was rare for her to have a stable life, today she just felt as if she was going out to play, holding Gao Mingyue's hand along the way, turning her head to look around from time to time, exulting in the scenery of Sichuan.

"There are a lot of bamboos. Just now, my father was chatting with people in the posthouse. He said that this mountain is evergreen all the year round, so it is called Cuiping Mountain..."

Gao Mingyue didn't speak, she was a little depressed, she didn't know what she was thinking.

When I climbed to the top of the mountain, I saw a tall building with the words "Sanjiang Yilan Building" written on it, and there are towers and beacon towers nearby.

Li Xia revealed his identity and entered the Sanjiang Yilan Building.

Leaning on the railing, neither Li Xia nor Gao Changshou spoke.

Seeing that they were silent, Han Qi'an leaned on the railing and recited a poem.

"The painting boat rushes into Rongzhou in the rain, and the misty mountains cross Duruozhou.

Xuxin was quiet on weekdays, and it was reported that Feng went to the west building every night. "

"Good poem!" Liu Jinsuo shouted.

If Lin Zi was there, he would probably scold him "Shut up if you don't understand poetry", but without this scolding at this time, Liu Jinsuo always felt that something was missing.

Han Qi'an said: "Lu Fangweng's "Xuzhou", he was the general judge of Jiazhou, it must have been written at that time."

Liu Jinsuo said "Oh", because he didn't understand these things, he regretted talking too much, but felt that Lin Zi was still being interesting.

Han Qi'an didn't say it to Liu Jinsuo, he turned to Li Xia while speaking, and said: "Just listen to Fang Weng's sentence, and you can know the terrain of Xuzhou. Please read it, Alang..."

He raised his hand and pointed to the southwest, saying, "This is the Jinsha River."

Pointing to the northwest again, he said, "This is the Minjiang River."

Li Xia looked along his hand, and saw that the two great rivers were converging in the east of Xuzhou City, and they were rushing eastward again, which was extremely magnificent.

Recently, he has been watching the river from the boat, but when he climbed up and looked far away, he was shocked again, and felt deeply small.

"Which is the main stream of the Yangtze River? The Jinsha River?"

"This section is only called the Jinsha River, not the Yangtze River." Han Qi'an said, "The Jinsha River and the Minjiang River converge here, from the south of Xuzhou to the sea, rushing for [-] miles, gathering the water potential of 'Jinsha, Minjiang River', so it is called the Yangtze River. "

Speaking of this, he pointed to the city of Xuzhou, and said: "Therefore, Xuzhou is called 'the first city of the Yangtze River'."

"I see."

"Look again, Ah Lang, the Minjiang River comes from the northwest, and the Jinsha River comes from the southwest, and the city of Xuzhou is sandwiched between the two rivers. How is the terrain?"

Li Xia nodded, speechless for a long time.

He has already seen that Xuzhou City is not only located in the delta of the two rivers, but also protected by Cuiping Mountain to the west.

With the green mountain as a barrier, it is called "Cuiping", which can be seen from the exquisite naming of the ancients.

The advantages of Xuzhou city defense are also clear at a glance. The triangular land faces the river on both sides and the mountain on the other side, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Li Xia said: "Seeing it with my own eyes, I know that Lu Fangweng's poem fully describes the terrain of Xuzhou."

"There is also the grandeur of this city, the dragon head of the Yangtze River, and the ancient Rongzhou on the southwestern half." Han Qi'an said again: "The so-called 'embracing Jin Min waves to urge Wu Chu, and dominating Bashu to control Yunnan and Guizhou' is also true."

"Great river and mountain." Li Xia said.

Gao Changshou also said: "What a beautiful river and mountain."

They opened their mouths to talk, Han Qi'an and the others had already stood aside a little and did not interrupt.

Gao Changshou raised his hand and pointed to the southwest, and said, "Does Feiyu know why the Jinsha River got its name?"

"I don't know."

"Because of the golden sand gushing out of the river, it is called the Jinsha River. The so-called 'gold is born in Lishui', the real name of the Jinsha River is Lishui, and it is also the upper reaches of the Yangtze River."

Gao Changshou said, and said again: "The Mongolian army set out from Dali, they can go down the Jinsha River, pass through Xuzhou and Luzhou, and go straight to Chongqing."

"Yes."

"But the people of Dali may not be willing to go out with the Mongolian army. Moreover, once Wuliang Hetai leaves, Dali will be empty."

Li Xia murmured, "Muru is leaving?"

"Yes, I want to go up the Jinsha River, meandering [-] miles, and return to Jianchuan City."

"Lijiang?" Li Xia has been to Lijiang and knows that Lijiang was called "Jianchuan Jiedu" in the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes, on the bank of Lijiang, Jianchuan City. I still have an old army hiding there, and my wife and children are also there." Gao Changshou said, "I want to contact the rebel army. See you again, cousin."

Li Xia said: "To be honest, I still don't think highly of your return to the country."

"Reviving the country is difficult, and the subjugated people have to do it."

Li Xia rarely frowned, thought about his words, and said, "If I can plan for you, then you don't have to worry about Song Ting handing you over to Mongolia in the future, and it won't be too late for you to come forward to do things... For example, vote for Song and find a pacifier in Yunnan." make an envoy."

What he actually wanted to say was to wait until he became powerful, but a small county captain really didn't have the qualifications to recruit others.

Sure enough, Gao Changshou waved his hands and smiled.

"At that time, I went to Lu Wende, and he talked nicely, but he only asked how to buy horses from the southwest again. He didn't have any support for the rest, and he told me to go north to die. Fortunately, I met you, and this time I went north without gain.

We have obtained the deployment of Wulianghetai's troops in the southwest. He may lead a large army to leave soon. I can take the opportunity to raise troops. If it goes well, I will join forces with you to attack Wulianghetai. You and I will face the enemy side by side again. "

"I'm not optimistic about it." Li Xia said: "It doesn't matter if Wuliang joins Taiwan. It doesn't matter whoever sits in Dali from Mongolia. The important thing is that Duan Xingzhi knows that Mongolia is powerful, and he is determined to be the governor of Yunnan in Mongolia. You can't beat him."

Gao Changshou shook his head and said, "You are determined, why do you persuade me to give up?"

"Duan Xingzhi has the support of Mongolia, but you have nothing to rely on with bare hands, and there is no possibility of success. Who will support you to restore the country? If you support you, you can only support you to return to Yunnan. Then, you can only become a Yunnan-made person in this life. envoy or general manager."

At this point, Li Xia summed it up, saying: "There is no hope for the restoration of the country, let's figure it out early, the direction of determination is right, and hard work is useful."

Gao Changshou was silent for a while, and said, "I know you have big ambitions. But, so do I."

Li Xia didn't speak, but the meaning was obvious.

He doesn't belittle Gao Changshou, but he is extremely confident.

Gao Changshou smiled and said, "I have learned a lot from you during this time, and I want to go back and try."

"That's fine. I'm only giving you advice, and the choice is up to you." Li Xia said, "Just take care of yourself."

He said what he wanted to say, no more persuasion, but turned to look at Gao Mingyue.

She was standing by the railing, still silent.

"Don't worry, I won't die in the north, but when I return to my homeland, I won't worry about whether I can succeed or not," Gao Changshou said.

As he spoke, noticing Li Xia's gaze, he seemed to want to say something else.

But in the end, Gao Changshou just said: "Just now I have contacted the merchant ship that is willing to go west, and I will set off tomorrow. It's okay to say goodbye... If I summon the rebel army, I will see you soon."

"it is good."

……

A group of people turned back to the posthouse.

When I arrived at the gate of the city, I saw several Miao people carrying sacks into the city, and one of them was a Miao girl dressed very brightly.

Li Xia thought for a while, and asked the others to go back first, claiming to do something.

On this day, Li Xia didn't come back until evening.

When Liu Jinsuo saw him coming back, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiao Langjun saw the beautiful lady and followed her all the way to see it? You should take me with you!"

Others just felt that it was out of place and didn't bother to talk to him.

They already had more of the gloomy atmosphere before parting. After eating, they went back to their houses to rest.

Gao Mingyue and Han Qiaoer were in the same room, they held hands and talked in a low voice, as if they could never finish.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Before they could ask, Li Xia's voice came over.

"it's me."

Han Qiaoer quickly ran to open the door and said happily, "Brother Li, why are you here?"

Li Xia said: "I bought something delicious for you, you can go to Mr. Han to get it."

"Okay. Brother Li persuades Sister Gao not to leave, okay?"

"Well, let's go."

Han Qiaoer was very well-behaved and ran away immediately.

Gao Mingyue sat there alone, looking a little flustered.

"I won't come in." Li Xia said, "Let's have a chat with you at the door."

"Um……"
