Chapter 334
The fifth day of July.

The Song flag was planted above the city of Chengdu, and the cheers in the city were endless.

Since Li Xia was reborn, he had rarely slept so deeply. After killing the enemy all night, he fell asleep after dawn, and it was too late to open his eyes again.

I saw Gao Mingyue sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him stupidly.

"Ok?"

"You're awake, Lizhi County."

Li Xia couldn't help but smiled, and pulled Gao Mingyue's hand into his arms.It was rare for him to hear Gao Mingyue take the initiative to joke, at least it meant that she was gradually becoming cheerful in front of him.

"Yes, Madam Magistrate."

Embarrassed, Gao Mingyue said, "Let go, I'll fetch water for you."

"No, just lie down for a while."

"Huh? It's so rare to see you lying in bed."

"Today is a special case, Xiao Xiaolai for a while." Li Xia said, "It's rare that someone is taking care of things, so I don't need to do anything."

Gao Mingyue thought for a while and asked, "Do you trust this Shuai Pu very much?"

The two have gone through too many hardships, and she can see that Li Xia rarely trusts others like this, and this "trust" also includes trust in his ability.

This is indeed the case for Li Xia. He knows that the Song Dynasty will be destroyed sooner or later, and he never believes that anyone but himself can turn the tide.

"That's right, Pu Shuai is from Shu." Li Xia said, "He is really focused on recovering Chengdu. I should be fine for a while."

Having said that, he quickly got up, hugged Gao Mingyue, and said, "We can return to the celebration talisman, and you don't have to wander around with me anymore."

"I don't feel like I'm wandering, I'm by your side..." Gao Mingyue said softly, "I feel very at ease."

"Girls still need to be pampered."

Gao Mingyue was also happy when she thought of this marriage.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Xia started his rehabilitation again.

Even if it was Chengdu's big victory in this battle, he only allowed himself the time to relax this stick of incense.

"It's rare that there is no war today, you and Asha can stay in the post to rest."

"Huh? Are you going out?"

Li Xia nodded and said, "I'm going to see Pu Shuai..."

~~
After the battle last night, Pu Zezhi was extremely busy, so he only said to Li Xia, "Feiyu, let's go rest first, and come see me when you are free."

In that case, he had 800 troops to dispatch, which was no less than the [-] Qingfu Army, and Li Xia was not his old subordinate, so it was not easy to use.

At this time Li Xia was still thinking that Pu Zezhi might not be free to meet him, but when he walked out of the posthouse, he saw a soldier sitting on the threshold chatting with Bao San.

"Damn it, the city is too dilapidated... Ah, Li Zhi County is up? Pu Shuai sent a villain to bring Li Zhi County to meet."

"It's hard work for you to make a trip, dare to ask your name?"

"Huh? I asked the magistrate Li to ask... the villain Luan Hui is just a big soldier."

Luan Hui was so flattered that he hurriedly led Li Xia through the streets and all the way to the tower.

From time to time on the road, I saw teams of soldiers running past, and the Mongolian army occupied the deep house compound in the city, resisting stubbornly.

When I arrived at the tower, I saw many generals coming in a hurry, and leaving in a hurry after receiving the order.

Luan Hui stepped forward to inform, and Pu Zezhi's personal guards let them go straight up.

Li Xia stepped up the stairs, only to hear the sound of conversations coming from the tower.

"Father, you should know that now is not the time to hold a banquet to celebrate. Apart from the Mongolian army who escaped from the city, there are still a large number of Mongolian troops stationed around Chengdu. They should be eliminated immediately."

"As a father, why don't you know? But I said beforehand that I would reward the soldiers generously after the capture of Chengdu, and I dare not break my promise."

"Why is it a few days away?"

"Soldiers in the middle of Shu, the military rewards from three years ago have not yet been issued. If it were you, fighting desperately, how would you feel if you didn't get the rewards you deserved? This time, the soldiers believed in me and were willing to go to Chengdu for a bloody battle. How can you live up to it? ? It’s been a few days, I’m afraid they will worry about me being the same as my predecessor, Shu Shuai.”

"Alas. In the final analysis, it is still a chronic illness left by Yu Hui, and my father has only been in office for a short time."

"Deducting military salaries, not rewarding soldiers for fighting, and treating soldiers harshly have been the norm for a hundred years. How could it be a disaster for one person?" Pu Zezhi sighed and said, "Let's do it as soon as possible, and stabilize the morale of the army first."

"Yes……"

Li Xia stood on the stairs for a while, although he only heard this few words, he could feel Pu Zezhi's difficulty.

The Mongolian army has never had such troubles, and they can grab it wherever they go.The generals in the Song Dynasty were different. When fighting, there were too many troubles outside the battlefield to worry about.

Soon, Pu Fu strode out with several generals.

"Li Zhi County is here, let's go in." Pu Fu cupped his hands and said, "I have a lot of things today, so I will have a long talk with you sometime."

"Pu Qian please."

"Goodbye." Pu Fu hurried down the tower again.

Inside, Pu Zezhi looked back and said, "Feiyu is here, and I haven't asked you how you are in Chengdu."

Li Xia put it simply. He only said that the Dali Rebel Army sent people to contact the Anti-Mongols.

When Pu Zezhi heard the word "ordered", he muttered, "The imperial court sent Jia Xianggong to sit in Lianghuai. In addition, Lu Wende sits in Bozhou, and I'm afraid that he will have to deal with Dali's Mongolian army from the southwest."

"Yes." Li Xia replied.

Pu Zezhi saw that he didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more questions, but murmured: "It's cold everywhere in the Song Dynasty, the guards from all over the country should work together."

"What Pu Shuai said makes sense."

Pu Zezhi smiled lightly and said, "Sit down for a while."

"it is good."

Pu Zezhi looked at the map intently again, calling and dispatching his generals from time to time.

He hadn't slept for several nights, looked old and tired, and could only take time out of his busy schedule to chat with Li Xia.

It was the first time for Li Xia to see someone dispatching an army of [-], and he didn't find it boring at all. He felt that he benefited a lot from Pu Zezhi's few words.

It wasn't until someone brought a simple meal that Pu Zezhi greeted Li Xia to sit down, and asked, "What do you think of the Battle of Chengdu?"

Li Xia replied: "I don't know the whole picture, so I dare not comment."

Pu Zezhi pushed several maps on the case, and asked, "Do you understand?"

"can I see?"

Pu Zezhi nodded casually, lowered his head to eat, chewed slowly, as if he was still thinking.

Li Xia had already put down the bowl and chopsticks, carefully flipping through the maps, his expression gradually serious.

"See what?"

"The Battle of Chengdu, I'm afraid it just started?"

"Yes, it's rare for a young man like you to see it."

Li Xia pointed to the map and asked, "Can I mark it?"

"Mark it."

"I came from Lingguan Road and saw that the Mongolian army still has garrisons in Jinyuan, Tanglong, Qingcheng and other places west of Chengdu. The strength should be around [-]."

Pu Zezhi murmured, "Then there are nearly ten thousand Mongolian troops outside Chengdu."

He pointed to an arrow in the north of the city, and said: "Last night, more than [-] Mongolian soldiers killed Meng Shuai Adahu. But the Mongolian clan Abgan led his troops and escaped from the city."

Li Xia had already seen this arrow, and felt a little regretful.

But it is also the case when you think about it. The Mongolian army has many cavalry, and if they want to retreat, it is extremely difficult for the Song army to catch up.However, Pu Zezhi's troops were not enough to block Chengdu, so it was inevitable that General Youmeng would flee.

"Then what we have to do is to wipe out these Mongolian troops as soon as possible when they lose their commander and their command is chaotic?"

"good."

Li Xia pulled out the next map, thinking about how Pu Zezhi would surround these Mongolian troops.

At this point, I have to mention Yu Jie's mountain city defense system again.

To the west of Chengdu is the plateau, to the east is Yunding mountain city, to the north is Kuzhuai mountain city, and to the south are Sangui and Jiuding cities.

These mountain cities are often steep and high mountains, but the terrain on the top of the mountain is flat and wide, which is conducive to farming and allows the Song army and the people to retreat in the mountain city.

In the past two or three years, the Mongolian army broke through Chengdu and occupied western Sichuan, but they were still unable to conquer these mountain cities.

The next thing Pu Zezhi has to do is to block Jianmen Pass and Jiantan Ferry, and block the exit of the remnants of the Mongolian army. He can only circle around these mountain cities and annihilate them one by one.

The so-called "close the door and beat the dog", Jianmenguan and Jiantandu are the gates, Chengdu and these mountain cities are the tables, chairs and benches in the house, dogs are running around in the house, and people stand on the tables and chairs to beat the dog.

Adahu died, and the remnants of his troops have become homeless dogs, easy to fight.

But if Jiantandu falls, the remnants of the Mongolian army in Chengdu and Niulin's troops join forces, and the two dogs will be unable to defeat humans; if the gate of Jianmen is lost, Wang Dechen's troops will send troops to support them, and it will become a pack of dogs...

Li Xia reached out and pointed at the location of Jiandutan, and murmured: "In this way, Jiantandu is the most important thing."

"good."

Pu Zezhi seemed to have the intention of cultivating Li Xia, and he confided his heart in the conversation, saying: "That's exactly the case, I ordered Liu Zheng and Liu Wuzhong to guard Jiantandu, Liu Wuzhong is an outstanding talent... I only hope that he will guard Jiantandu and let me annihilate Chengdu Remnants."

Faintly, Li Xia heard a trace of worry in Pu Zezhi's tone.

Although the Mongolian army was defeated, it was still cavalry.If the infantry wants to wear down the cavalry, can it be done in a short time?

Can Liu Zheng last that long?
In just a few words, Pu Zezhi hastily ate his meal.

He looked at Li Xia and asked: "I have ordered Yi Shiying to build Lingxiao City, and the war in southern Sichuan may be slowed down. Western Sichuan and Northern Sichuan are just at the time of employing people. We I intend to transfer you to our army, are you willing?"
