Chapter 631 Conditions
Hunduhai is based in Yuanzhou.

Yuanzhou, later known as Guyuan, is located at the northernmost tip of the Liupan Mountains.

In this position, there are many choices he can make. Before the war, Lian Xixian had a very thorough analysis of this.

Lian Xixian once sent an envoy to pacify Hunduhai, but the envoy was killed by Hunduhai.

This shows the determination of Hunduhai. Based on this, Lian Xixian speculated early on that Hunduhai had three strategies.

The best strategy is to take advantage of getting the news faster and decisively send troops to directly attack Guanzhong.

The middle strategy is to gather troops to sit in Liupan Mountain, contain the West Route Army, wait for the dust to settle in the Battle of Monan and Mobei, and pledge allegiance to the winner.

The worst strategy is to lead the troops back to the north and arrive at the battlefield on the East Road first to support Brother Ali.

So far, Hunduhai has missed the opportunity to implement the best strategy.

The beheading envoy has already expressed his unwillingness to submit to Kublai Khan, so he will not implement the middle strategy.

That is very likely to be the worst policy, that is, to return to the north.

Lian Xixian had seen through everything, and had already made arrangements to send people to tell the generals of the West Route Army that he was going to lead the army to pursue and annihilate them by surprise when Hundu returned from Haibei.

This is why the generals of the West Route Army have the confidence to win.

Anyone would call Hun Duhai a "fool".

But they didn't expect that Hunduhai was stupider than they thought. They didn't attack Guanzhong long ago. They didn't decide to take the best strategy until they missed the opportunity and waited until the deployment of Longguan was completed.

By this time, the best policy has become the worst policy.

There are two routes from Hundu to Hainan.

One is to go straight to Guanzhong along the east side of Liupan Mountain and Longshan Mountains. However, this road is dangerous and easy to be blocked by Liu Heima and surrounded by Wang Liangchen. It is a dead end.

The second is to attack Longxi first, and then go to Guanzhong after defeating Wang Liangchen.But for the same reason, Liu Heima can come out of the Longshan pass to support him and attack him together.

Longxi is the territory of the Wang family, and since the capital is far away, it is impossible to win quickly and it is not conducive to a long-term battle.

Why do you still do this?

Li Xia.

All the variables are due to Li Xia.

This is also the reason why Liu Heima judged that Li Xia must follow Qishan Road.

If Li Xia didn't come, Hunduhai had no chance of winning, and with Chang'an Lian Xixian and Shang Ting, the world's top evangelists, the Liu family could quickly return to defense, and it was almost impossible to give the Song army's infantry a chance.

Just like Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley plot, it sounds like a bluff, but when you think about it carefully, it is too dangerous.

Once you catch the key, you will see through the blindness.

As a result of the battle, Liu Heima personally raised his troops to Tianshui, and ordered his eldest son Liu Yuanzhen to lead troops to reinforce Longyuan to prevent some Mongolian troops from coming along the east of Longshan.

Here Liu Heima went up the Weihe River before reaching Tianshui, but Liu Yuanzhen over there was already in a deadly battle.

……

"puff!"

"puff!"

The arrows kept coming, and the soldiers fell one by one.

Afterwards, battle songs in Mongolian were heard, even covering up the screams on the battlefield.

"There is only one sun in the sky, and one sweat on the ground..."

Countless Mongolian cavalry are galloping from the foot of the mountain on horseback, like a black torrent.

In the distance, a large flag appeared in sight, fluttering in the wind, as if it was showing its teeth and claws.

"Alan Daer?" Liu Yuanzhen murmured, "It's Alan Daer..."

He made a mistake.

It took too much effort to figure out which way Li Xia would go.

He paid too much attention to Li Xia, and even made him neglect Hunduhai. This is the real powerful jackal.

Liu Yuanzhen was so full of thoughts that Li Xia would join forces with Hun Duhai to attack Wang Liangchen, but in the end, the opponent's first target to be torn apart was him.

[-] Han troops were attacked by [-] Mongolian cavalry.

"Da Lang, get out... get out!"

"Can't retreat! Put the rear up!" Liu Yuanzhen hissed, "You can't let Alan Da'er enter the pass again, think about your wives, children, and elders! No matter how many people die, I will block the mountain road... ..."

"Kill!"

In his army formation, more and more blood can be seen...

~~
Longxi battlefield.

The [-] Mongolian cavalry in Hunduhai are still advancing southward aggressively.

Wang Liangchen was not in a hurry to fight him, and kept pulling back the line of defense.

After passing Shunzhou, the soldiers were pushed to Lintao, east of Gongchang and north of Tianshui.

Of course, Hunduhai knew that if the final battle site went deeper into Guanlong, it would be more unfavorable for him, so he stopped moving forward and only acted like a tiger would pounce.

Lintao may become the place where hundreds of thousands of main forces of the two sides will fight.

The soldiers spread out, each stretching for hundreds of miles.

The world is vast, the mountains and rivers in the distance are desolate, and the red rocks are bare, as red as the sunset.

The wind blew, and the dust was all over the sky, which disturbed a little snake between the two armies.

It crawled across the dunes and into a shadow.

Standing there is a fallen stone tablet, showing only a row of beautiful and simple Tang Li.

"Bingxu in the fifth year of Tianbao in Tang Dynasty, when the Tubo invaded the border, Ge Shuhan led a brave gallop to attack, almost all of them were killed, and the rest might walk away, the ambush was invited to attack, and the horse did not return..."

The dust came over and obliterated the last four words.

Farther away, there were knights running wildly, bypassing the huge army formation, and disappearing into the sky.

Before the decisive battle, the two sides have begun to send news to each other.

~~
Yangping Pass.

Here is the first pass from Hanzhong West to Qishan Road.

After Li Xia regained Hanzhong, he ordered Mao Yi'er to guard Yangping Pass to prevent the Mongolian army from invading the border.

Although there has been no war in recent years, Mao Yi'er has not been idle. In addition to building cities and training troops, he has also set up many strongholds further west.

This time, Li Xia has been stationed at Yangping Pass for six days.

He seems to be waiting for news...

"Master, here we come."

Li Xia walked up to the pass city, looked around, and saw another thirty or so riders rushing under the pass city, so he ordered: "Let them enter the pass...bring me the map."

It's also embarrassing for Liu Taiping, who has to go back and forth to contact Song Jun when he is old.

But there is no way, he is the only Han Chinese who can serve as an envoy under the command of Huntuhai.

"Li Jieshuai, we meet again! The plan will come true, the plan will come true!"

Li Xia asked, "Where is Hunduhai?"

Liu Taiping stepped forward with a smile, squinted his old eyes, and raised his hand to mark on Li Xia's map.

"Lintao. The marshal has gone deep into Longxi, and just waiting for Marshal Li Jie to arrive, he can fight Wang Liangchen to the death!"

"Where is Liu Heima?"

"Jieting Pass..."

The two discussed the situation in detail.

In the end, Liu Taiping saluted solemnly, and said: "Marshal Li Jie, please dispatch troops quickly to attack Wang Liangchen's abdomen and back at the moment of the decisive battle."

Li Xia asked: "Hunduhai, would you really let me pass Guanzhong?"

"That's the case!" Liu Taiping responded with emotion: "The matter has come to this point, only you and I can join forces to defeat Kublai Khan's West Route Army, how can the Marshal have any reason to go back on his word?"

Li Xia looked at the map and said to himself, "If I don't arrive in time, Hunduhai will be defeated."

Liu Taiping curled his lips helplessly, and secretly scolded Li Xia for fear that he would raise conditions at a critical moment, and that he was really not a good ally.

"That's the case, but since Li Jieshuai has been with..."

Halfway through the conversation, Liu Taiping was stunned.

In his eyes, Li Xia had drawn out his long sword.

"Py..."

The sword edge sliced ​​across Liu Taiping's throat, and blood spurted out.

Li Xia had already reached Liu Taiping's side, pressed the top of his head, like killing a chicken, and swiped his sword again.

……

In Guancheng, more than [-] Mongolian riders have not yet drawn their swords, but the rain of arrows has already shot out.

"puff!"

"puff!"

"..."

Someone scolded Li Xia loudly in Mongolian, and immediately fell to the ground screaming.

Blood gathered in Yangping Pass City.

Finally, some Mongolian warriors threw down their weapons, knelt down and surrendered...

~~
Until his death, Liu Taiping still had his eyes wide open.

He couldn't figure out why Li Xia wanted to kill him.

Shouldn't be, shouldn't be...

"Give me Guanzhong? Is the Guanzhong you gave me still in the world?"

Li Xia looked at Liu Taiping's staring eyes, and murmured.

When killing people, he did not hesitate at all.

But at this moment, I thought a lot...

From very early on, as early as the beginning of getting along with Zhang Wenjing, he called the northerners traitors.

Leaving aside whether it is true or not, right now he wondered in his heart, is there any difference between Liu Taiping and other Han Chinese who were loyal to Kublai Khan?

This answer should not be answered by Li Xia.

It should be answered by the people in the Central Plains, Dali, Huaizuo, Jiangxi and other places.

When Liu Taiping was willing to follow the Mongolian army that still retained the tradition of massacring the city.There are also countless northerners who have been doing their best to persuade Kublai Khan to stop killing.

Stop killing, implement the Han system, and establish kingly laws.

Li Xia said, this is not enough.

He also wanted pride, dignity.

The first is to be tough on yourself.

He is so strict that when he has the strength to give others a choice, he is qualified to ask others, "Do you think it is better to have dignity?"

It is not that he directly represents hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of people who were sheltered by those so-called "traitors".

Then, self-righteously forcing these bitter people, forcing them to say, "The traitors can only let us live, they can only let us live a little better, this is not enough, the traitors must do better."

"You, Li Xia, do it yourself first!"

If Li Xia can't do it, but only forces the world, he is the greatest evil in the world.

Because there is only one thought between the greater good and the greater evil.

This time, if he really let the soldiers and horses of Hunduhai enter the pass...

Slaughtering countless people just to get an empty city, Li Xia is not worthy to be compared with Kublai Khan.

Then he is worse than Shi Jingtang.Shi Jingtang ceded Yanyun and let the people of Yanyun live under foreign rule, while Li Xia let the people in Guanzhong die and destroy their families for the sake of the territory.

That being the case, what else?
Apart from the Hu-Han lineage, how can you compare the disasters you brought to the people with Kublai Khan?
Is the distinction between Hu and Han really important?

If Li Xia wanted to compete with Kublai Khan only because Kublai Khan was a barbarian, then he couldn't even convince himself in the debate with Jia Hou.

His "I" was just a joke.

……

"What I want is not a Guanzhong that was burned, killed and looted by you, but a complete Guanzhong."

Li Xia looked into Liu Taiping's eyes, and solemnly stated his condition.

It's a pity that the other party can't be satisfied.

Li Xia had no choice but to cut off Liu Taiping's head, and handed the head to the guard.

"Let those people take it back, and then tell Huntuhai a word."

"Marshal, is it Mongolian? I'm afraid I won't remember it, so I'll bring a prisoner up..."

"No need." Li Xia said, "You know this Mongolian sentence."

He turned around and said something casually at the same time.

"Exiut."
