Chapter 625 Contact
Going up to the attic of the post house, Jia Hou looked towards Hanzhong City and felt that the city was sparsely populated.

Speaking of which, Jingzhao Mansion has experienced the Battle of Mengjin and the Battle of Sanjing, and the population was also small back then.

It was the Northern Hanchen who managed for more than ten years, and Wang Dechen who plundered the population from Sichuan and Shu and went northward, which brought Guanzhong back to life.

A while ago, Asuotai led the army to take captive, but fortunately they were quickly repelled and headed west to Liupan Mountain, otherwise it would be another disaster.

Today, Lian Xixian and Shang Ting manage the Jingzhao Mansion, and the Liu family and the Wang family are stationed in Guanzhong and Longxi, in order to prevent the forces of the Hunduhai from destroying the Jingzhao Mansion.

Hunduhai, Asuotai, Alan Daer, Liu Taiping... People from Brother Ali.

More than [-] troops from both sides lined up, just waiting for the battle to begin.

Brother Ali is a barbarian with short-sightedness. He only knows the Mongolian way of burning, killing and looting.

It is far inferior to the majesty of His Majesty today, with civil servants like clouds and generals like rain.

This is the situation today.

Can't Li Xia see through?
not so...

Thinking of this, Jia Hou murmured to himself, "If you join forces with Hunduhai, it will be too unbearable."

If Li Xia has the guts to make such wild remarks, it is not difficult to guess the strategy he can choose if he is not aimless.

The only way is to cooperate with the Hunduhai to enter the customs, and the fisherman will benefit.

Then, for his own ambition, Li Xia dared to stand shoulder to shoulder with His Majesty regardless of the creatures in Guanzhong...?Rumoring that he is in the same heart as the Marquis of the North?
After careful deliberation in his heart, Jia Hou was a little suspicious of Li Xia, and also felt a little contemptuous of his inconsistent character.

He turned around and went to the yard, walked into the yard, and looked around at the people he had brought.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to discuss marriage with Li Yong, you guys find a way to get rid of Li Xia's people, and go to the city to arrange eyeliner..."

~~
The next day.

Once the Lantern Festival is over, the joy of the New Year fades away.

Li Yong has his own mansion, which is also in Yanku Lane, next to the Han family.The courtyard of Sanjinluo is not very big, but it is more than enough for a family of three.

When the sky was dim, Li Yong was already sitting by the window dealing with some ordinary documents, and let Liu Susu comb his hair.

Liu Susu is meticulous in his work, trying to pull his white hair inwards to make him look much younger.

Occasionally looking up at the bronze mirror, Li Yong felt quite ashamed looking at Liu Susu's aging face... A few years ago, he thought about making Liu Susu his wife.

But now, with Li Xia's status, this move is extremely inappropriate.

After combing his hair, he walked to the hall, where Li Zhaocheng was already waiting to say hello.

Li Yong smiled. He used to be very worried that Li Zhaocheng was not doing his job properly. Now that Li Xia is in charge, he is not allowed to stay in the kitchen all day, and he is relieved a lot.

"You are also busy, so you don't need to come to say hello every day."

"Father won't go to the commander-in-chief's mansion with the child today?"

"There will be guests."

Li Zhaocheng wanted to say something, but he said no.

"The new year is over, let's talk about something." Li Yong sighed, and said: "The family was almost wiped out, and I adopted you as my adopted son. Now that the matter is over, you are the heir of the elder brother after all."

Li Zhaocheng was taken aback, his eyes turned red, and he wanted to kneel down.

"Father……"

"Don't kneel." Li Yong sighed even more, and said: "Although it is the same, as a father, I am reluctant to move you back to the elder brother's branch. How good is that? You are still my son. Turn around, your eldest son is born The successor is in the eldest room, and the second son is in the second room... If you have enough sons, you can inherit an incense stick for me, okay?"

Li Zhaocheng still fell to his knees and kowtowed heavily.

"Father is very thoughtful."

"Come on, our family is sparsely populated. Your second brother's cold face... don't mention him. In short, as a father, I can only count on you."

"Yes."

Li Yong looked at Li Zhaocheng and nodded.

There are some things he never said, because Li Xia took care of them for him.If Li Zhaocheng wants to marry Yan Yunyun, he will never agree.

"Since you want to have more heirs, let's arrange a marriage for you for your father."

This is what Li Zhaocheng wanted to ask, and he saluted, "Father, Erlang said that Liu Heima would not agree, but it seems...sent someone?"

"Be careful when chatting in the future." Li Yong glanced outside the hall, seeing no one else, Fang said: "Liu Heima will never agree, just wait for three or two months after this matter passes, and I will transfer you to Shi for my father. The daughter of the family proposed marriage, your aunt said she is very nice, what do you think?"

"This..." Li Zhaocheng was unwilling in his heart, but still said: "Father decides..."

He walked through the yard, went out, and walked to the end of the alley, but saw a group of people approaching slowly, the leader was Jia Hou.

Li Zhaocheng didn't want to talk to Jia Houduo, so he turned around and hid in Liu Jinsuo's yard, leaning his back against the door.

Of course he understood that Liu Heima would not agree, but seeing that they were already discussing marriage, he was inevitably upset...

~~
"Who came in?"

On the attic, Lin Zi quickly turned the binocular in his hand to the courtyard gate.

Liu Jinsuo snatched his binoculars off, and said, "Of course you can't see it with this, it's too close. It was Mr. Li Dalang, who was let in by my nursing home."

"Scared me..."

"How long are you going to stay at my house."

"Don't make noise, I'm doing business."

Lin Zi took back the binocular and continued to look towards the corner of the street. He saw three people in Jia Hou's queue quickly dispersed after entering the alley.

"Counting the previous ones, 11 people will be assigned... Let's pass the news."

"Yes……"

These things had nothing to do with Liu Jinsuo, he was just worried that some northerners would break into his house, and they would follow and watch.

"Lin Zi, you can tell them directly. As long as I guard the Hanzhong City, these three melons and two dates can be found by the fine work in the north. This is called fetching water with a bamboo basket. Hey, it's nothing."

"Don't talk, I shouldn't have come to your house."

"No, I mean, Hanzhong..."

"How long has Hanzhong been occupied by the Mongols, and how long have we regained it? They left a lot of fine work, do you need to worry about it? Go away..."

~~
Two days later, in the west of Hanzhong City.

More than a hundred riders came in a hurry.

More than [-] riders in front are Song soldiers, and the horses are exhausted.

Thirty or so riders guarded a carriage, but the horses were full of stamina, and they still didn't pant when they reached the city.

Liu Taiping lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the Hanzhong City in front of him, his old eyes were full of thought.

At that time, he was ordered by Meng Ge to assist Alan Da'er in going south for the Hook Examination, served as the governor of Shaanxi Province, and captured a large number of Kublai Khan's henchmen.

But now, the governor of Shaanxi Province who is sitting in Jingzhao Mansion is appointed by Shang Ting and Kublai Khan.

The reason why Liu Taiping is still alive is because the news of Brother Meng's death came in time, Alan Da'er immediately made a decisive decision, led the troops out of Chang'an City, and went straight to Liupan Mountain to join the Hundu Sea.

If they take a step too late, I'm afraid that Kublai's henchmen will have cut them under the knife.

And the news of this death is said to have come from the Song Dynasty Shushuai who is about to meet...

"Shut up!"

The carriage drove five miles outside Hanzhong City, and saw a line of elite soldiers standing outside the long pavilion beside the official road. In the pavilion, a man was sitting at a stone table, looking at a large map.

Liu Taiping squinted his eyes, got out of the car and walked towards the pavilion. At the same time, he looked at the other party, his eyes gradually showed appreciation and fear.

……

"Master, here we come."

Li Xia didn't get up, just nodded and said, "Pour him a cup of tea."

After a while, there was an old laugh.

"Li Jieshuai, I have admired your name for a long time."

Li Xia turned around, raised her hand, and asked Liu Taiping to sit down.

"Liu Gong has seen me?"

Liu Taiping waved his hands and took his seat, and said with a smile: "In the past, Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, went to Jinyong City. He was surrounded very urgently. The people in the city didn't know him. Chang Gong removed his mask to show him that the head of the city was rescued by a crossbowman. With his face As the commander-in-chief, Li Jieshuai can be the second person after King Lanling."

"Your Brother Meng, General Wang and I killed it." Li Xia said.

This sentence came suddenly, Liu Taiping was taken aback.

Li Xia said again: "Your nephew Liu Zhongzhi was framed for catching Shi Zhang and putting him in Liu's pigsty. I did it."

"What does Li Jieshuai mean?"

"There is a grudge between you and me." Li Xia said.

Liu Taiping turned his head and glanced at the thirty or so Mongolian cavalrymen outside the pavilion, then looked at Li Xia again, and said slowly: "You sent someone to Liupan Mountain to contact the commander in order to trick the old man into killing him?"

Although his tone was smiling, he was already very unhappy.

Li Xia also smiled, and said: "Only by clearing up the grievances and grievances of both parties can we cooperate seamlessly, isn't it? After all, I was the one who passed the news of Brother Meng's death to Hunduhai and Alan Da'er."

Liu Taiping was even more unhappy.

He came to contact him personally and was always very polite, but Li Xia was too rude.

But he is quite deep in the city, so he still smiled and said: "It's reasonable, and the grievances and grievances are clear, so we can cooperate seamlessly."

Li Xia asked again: "Mr. Liu doesn't blame me?"

Liu Taiping didn't know how to answer, he didn't care about Mengge's death, he didn't care, he just stroked his beard and remained silent.

"In short, Mr. Liu just needs to know that I am honest and open."

Liu Taiping chuckled lightly, stroked his beard, and echoed another sentence.

Li Xia overwhelmed Liu Taiping first, and then directly opened his mouth to bring up the business.

"In the current situation in the north, Brother Ali tried his best to lure Kublai Khan back to Mobei but failed. Kublai Khan proclaimed himself emperor two months ago, the news should have reached Hara and Lin?"

Liu Taiping nodded, but remained silent again.

He had to rediscover the rhythm of the conversation.

"Brother Ali missed the opportunity, so he can only call the Kuliltai meeting immediately, proclaim his sweat, raise troops, and fight to the death with Kublai Khan." Li Xia said: "Hunduhai is still waiting for his Khan's order."

Liu Taiping narrowed his old eyes, looked at the map on the table, and said with a smile: "Considering the time, at this time in the Khan Court, a new Khan has succeeded to the throne..."

"late."

Li Xia shook his head and said: "Brother Ali is too slow, if you raise troops in a hurry, you will only be beaten by Kublai Khan with ease. Hun Duhai and Alan Da'er are not the same as Wang Liangchen and Liu Heima. opponent."

"Heh." Liu Taiping smiled confidently, "I'm afraid Li Jieshuai doesn't know how strong our troops are."

"I only know that Liu Heima, Wang Liangchen and others are also very powerful." Li Xia said: "If you are really sure about your behavior... Liu Gong will not come to see me, let alone be polite. Call me 'Li Jieshuai'."

Liu Taiping looked at Li Xia again, with scrutiny in his eyes.

He knew that this was an unreasonable young man.

"Tell me, what does Li Jieshuai want?"

"Let me first tell you what I can give you." Li Xia clicked on the map, and his fingertips landed on the location of Gong Chang on the map, "Wang Liangchen is doing his best to deal with the battle situation in Longxi. How about a surprise attack on Gongchang?"

"How many troops can Hanzhong deploy?"

"I have already transferred troops from Chengdu. Liu Heima thought that I wanted to seek Guanzhong, but he did not expect that I would secretly send troops to Qishan Road. 1 people are enough to break Gongchang."

Ten thousand Song soldiers dared to go out of Hanzhong, Liu Taiping didn't quite believe it, but he didn't expose it, he said with a smile, "What request does Marshal Li Jie have?"

"I need to make sure I won't be pursued for looting Gongchang."

Liu Taiping pondered for a long time, then slowly said: "Wang Liangchen stationed [-] troops in Longxi, can Li Jieshuai attack the rear?"

"where?"

Liu Taiping pointed to the map.

Li Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Then, the conditions have to be discussed..."
