Chapter 644 Awake
Liu Heima has returned to his teacher Fengxiang Mansion.

For several days, he kept receiving news from Qinzhou and Jingzhao Mansion, and he had a rough guess about the situation in Longxi.

But knowledge is one aspect, and it is not so fast to mobilize the army to support.

After the Lintao decisive battle, there were only [-] fighting forces left, and the main force was running back and forth in Jingzhaofu and needed to rest.Most of them have been stationed in various places to prevent the Guanzhong from being empty and being taken advantage of by the enemy.

If you want to send troops, you need to re-prepare logistics, food and grass.

Until May 28, he still stood still...

The letter from Tianshui was sent again, saying that the Song army had appeared in the wooden doorway, and there were thousands of people watching, urgently asking for support.

The governor of the capital looked very dull in the meeting hall.

Liu Yuanzhen has been a little depressed and lazy recently, and he no longer talks like he used to.

After sitting for a long time that day, Liu Heima finally opened his mouth.

"Let's talk about your opinions."

Jia Hou glanced at Liu Yuanzhen, seeing that he was silent, he had no choice but to say: "Wang Liangchen's [-] army is probably... gone."

After speaking, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and became silent again.

In fact, they have been thinking about this matter for a few days, and they have already turned pale with shock in private, but it's just...it's hard to believe.

No matter how hard it is to believe, you have to believe it, otherwise if the [-] army is here, can the Song army be allowed to wreak havoc in Longxi like this?

In the hall, there was the sound of swallowing saliva.

As if swallowing a big rock that was impossible to swallow, Liu Yuanzhen swallowed, and raised his head to look at the roof in frustration.

He knew that if he had listened to what he said, the Liu family would be gone now.

Seeing that no one answered, Jia Hou continued, "Fortunately, Li Xia can only mobilize 1 troops. Qinzhou is controlled by the wooden doorway, and Wang Zhichen has already reinforced it. It is unlikely that Li Xia will be allowed to enter Longxi."

Liu Yuanzhen shook his head, thinking, with Li Xia's ability, he might have already reached Gongchang, and there is not only one way to go.

But he no longer had the confidence to say it.

Liu Yuanli asked: "Although Wang Zhichen has reinforced Qinzhou, Luomen Road can also go?"

"Yes, but this kind of mountain trail is not easy to march. As long as the Wang family sends hundreds of people to guard it, even tens of thousands of Li Xia will have difficulty crossing it."

"Don't guess it's useless, talk about war, if I wait to send troops..."

Halfway through Liu Heima's conversation, he heard some movement in the distance, stopped talking, looked up, and after a while, a general came to report.

"Marshal Lian, Mr. Lian has arrived."

~~
Fengxiang Mansion is Qishan Mountain. There is Jiangshi City in the south of the mansion city, and Jiangshui in the south of the city.

Therefore, the Yandi Mausoleum was built on Changyang Mountain in Shennong Town.

When Lian Xixian arrived at Fengxiang Mansion, the first thing he did was not to deploy defenses, but to go to Yandi Mausoleum to offer sacrifices.

Li Xia still doesn't understand the so-called "the major events of the country lie in the sacrifices and the soldiers", but Lian Xixian understands the stabilizing effect of sacrifices on the hearts of the people.

Now the situation in Longxi is only understood by officials and generals in Shaanxi Province, and ordinary people have never heard of it.The results of Lintao World War I had only recently spread, and the officials and people in Guanzhong were still celebrating the victory of the new dynasty.

Coupled with this sacrificial ceremony, what Lian Xixian showed people was the righteousness of the orthodox imperial court, as well as the expectation that the weather will be smooth and the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe in the future.

One must have expectations.

All in all, if the Song army dared to violate the border, they would be bandits, and everyone would be punished if they got it.

Lian Xixian has been the envoy of Jingzhao Xuanfu for six years. He has been concerned about the sufferings of the people and has made remarkable achievements. He has also experienced the test of Alan Daer.

After the sacrifice, Lian Xixian and Liu's father and son looked at Guanzhong from the top of the mountain.

"Why is Mr. Liu so preoccupied?"

"If you want to send troops to Longxi, I'm afraid..."

"It's too late." Lian Xixian said: "We have to recognize the situation, now...the situation of offense and defense is changing."

Liu Heima was taken aback.

At the bottom of his heart, he still had the habitual view that Li Xia was not strong.

Lian Xixian stroked his beautiful long beard, and said calmly, "If I were Li Xia, I would have taken Gongchang by now, and controlled the Lintao soldiers and horses. State, control the main road."

Liu Yuanzhen and Liu Yuanli looked at each other.

"How did Mr. Lian see it?"

"I mean, if I were to do it, I would have already achieved this step." Lian Xixian asked back: "Do you think he is better than me?"

Liu Yuanzhen couldn't answer, so he lowered his head and followed Lian Xixian's thoughts.

"To do it so quickly...he captured the Wang family first?"

"That's right, capture the Wang family first, and the situation will be settled. The Song army seems to be blocked in Qinzhou, but it's just a trick given by Li Xia. He can always hit the key points, leaving false impressions, and it's up to you to guess. Since you are already in the opposite direction , how can you guess right?"

Liu Yuanzhen had a deep understanding, and after saluting, he felt enlightened.

Liu Heima said: "Mr. Lian is here, do you want me to send troops to recover Longxi?"

Lian Xixian didn't answer immediately, but murmured: "The worst situation is... Qinzhou has fallen."

"Why?"

Lian Xixian looked at Liu Yuanli and asked, "Zhongmin, if you lead the army outside and learn that your hometown has been captured by the enemy, and your family has been captured. What will you do?"

"I……"

"Let's talk about morale and military strength... that's all, needless to say."

Liu Yuanzhen asked: "That is to say, if Li Xia has not arrived in Gongchang, he will not have a chance. But if he has arrived in Gongchang, it will be too late for us to do anything?"

Lian Xixian said: "We can only mobilize 5000 troops. If we send out all the troops, Jingzhao's defenses will be empty, and it will be easy to be attacked by Li Xia."

"Yes."

"Li Xia also has about 4 elite soldiers. When we send troops, we must fight fiercely with the Song army at the Weihe Valley Road or Jieting Pass. Li Xia won a new victory, wiped out [-] people, and captured Gongchang. His spirit is unstoppable, and we are fighting You suffered heavy losses in the decisive battle at Hunduhai. Are you confident of winning?"

For Liu Heima, this is not a matter of confidence.

but not worth it.

No matter how weak the Song army was, with [-] elite guarding the mountain path, they would have to pay a heavy price to take it down.And Gongchang is unlikely to become the territory of the Liu family.

Liu Heima guarded Hunduhai to protect Guanzhong and his family.

As for counterattacking Longxi, he didn't want to fight.

In the past, in this situation, the Mongolian cavalry killed the past and conquered the local tyrants.

This is what the Mongols should do. If they can't even do this, what are they doing to surrender to Mongols?
Thinking about this, Liu Heima shook his head and sighed, "I have no confidence."

Lian Xixian smiled.

He had long expected that Liu Heima had no intention of fighting.

"I'm here to relieve Duke Liu..."

~~
At the same time, Tianshui.

"The aspirations eat the meat of the barbarians hungry, laughing and talking about thirsting for the blood of the Huns! Waiting for the new head, cleaning up the old mountains and rivers, facing the sky..."

The [-] elite Song troops from Qishan Road were still attacking the city in the south, and at the same time, loud and clear battle songs were heard.

Thousands of troops do not appear to be many during the deduction.

But when they actually appeared, they had broken everyone's impression of Song Jun.

Annihilating [-] enemies, they came with the momentum of a great victory, and their momentum soared into the sky.

The defenders at the top of the city were shocked.

The siege was in a hurry, and suddenly, smoke and dust billowed from the northwest.

The horn sounded, and the flag of the Song Army waved.

Soon, the east gate of Qinzhou City opened wide, and Wang Zhichen led more than a thousand horses and galloped out.

Although there were only 1000 Song troops killed by Gongchang, it was enough.

Half an hour later, Li Xia went to the city to look, only to see the Wei River flowing eastward, and there was no running figure in sight.

"Your third brother is very smart."

Surprised by the morale of the Song army, Wang Zhongchen remained silent.

Only now did he realize that the boundary of Longxi had become easier to attack and defend.

Sad in my heart, I didn't want to speak, and didn't dare to respond to Li Xia's words.

"It's impossible for him to defend the city. There are only [-] garrison troops in the city, [-] reinforcements and [-] fine cavalry, but the Jieshuai has twice as many troops to attack the city..."

The reason is very simple.

The garrisons in various places were not dispatched by Wang Liangchen to participate in the decisive battle of Lintao, so they were not very elite.

When these defenders saw the Song army coming out from Qishan Road, they all guessed that Wang Liangchen's [-] troops had been wiped out. How could they have much morale?

The reason why they are still willing to defend the city is that they are waiting for reinforcements.

When he saw the Song army approaching from the direction of Gongchang, it meant that Gongchang had been breached, and he was even more frightened.

If Wang Zhichen hadn't fled early, there was no guarantee that the garrison would not immediately counterattack.

He even dared to bring his own thousand horses. After all, not all the Mongol and Han troops had horses and knew how to ride them.

"Benefactor... my third brother..."

"Don't worry, I won't threaten Wang Zhichen with the population of your family again." Li Xia said, "We have agreed."

"Thank you, Lord!"

"Go, point out those who have been to Chengdu in the army."

"Since the benefactor is going to replace them, why..."

"I just want you to point out that your Wang family betrayed them one by one." Li Xia said, "We have also agreed on this matter."

Wang Zhongchen closed his eyes, slowed down, kowtowed his head again, and said, "Yes, please beware of Liu Heima's attack."

The conditions to be negotiated have been negotiated, and he is still respectful now because he wants to survive.

He is not afraid of death, but after preserving the blood of his family, he is also willing to work harder for himself...

Li Xia stood at the top of the city and took a look. The five thousand Song troops from the south had already entered the city.

After a while, the generals came forward to meet each other.

"Marshal Congratulations to take back Longxi!"

Li Xia turned his head to look, and smiled rarely.

This was actually expected. After the ambush of Wang Liangchen, Longxi's defenses were extremely empty, and there was not much suspense about winning.

But still gratified...

After talking about the situation on Qishan Road for a long time, the generals talked about the next deployment.

It is nothing more than sending more scouts, stationing troops on high mountains to look out, waiting for the Guanzhong troops to counterattack, determining the main attack direction, and resisting the enemy in the Weihe River valley or Jieting pass.

When upstairs in Weiyuan, Wang Zhongchen advised Li Xia that only by taking over the Wang family can Longxi be pacified as soon as possible to deal with Liu Heima's counterattack.

This is just self-promotion, and it cannot be fully believed.

The key to occupying the battle of Longxi is only Luo Mendao.

Li Xia's sudden attack succeeded, and he had already seized the opportunity.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

It's too late for Liu Heima.

Receiving news in Guanzhong, deciding whether to send troops, discussing strategies, preparing military supplies... After all these actions, it is impossible to be faster than Li Xia's speed of controlling the main roads in Longxi like a wind and clouds.

This is still "more calculations win less calculations, let alone no calculations".

Moreover, the strength, morale, and geographical advantages of both sides have been completely reversed.

This is the short-term situation.

In the long run, Li Xia can absorb the captives little by little, and can continue to deploy the garrison troops in Hanzhong, and even ask for help from Jinghu and Lianghuai.

In fact, Li Xia was not afraid that Liu Heima would counterattack Longxi, but he was afraid that Liu Heima would not come.

What is he best at?
Mountain defense, annihilating the enemy, and counter-offensive.

Looking at Guanlong now, the two [-] troops have been wiped out.Eight thousand Song troops, their strength has already been put on the table!

Once Liu Heima comes, he will fall into a hard fight, and Li Xia can subdue him.

Another ten thousand cavalry from the Liu family is enough to plan for Guanzhong...

~~
On the way back to Fengxiang Mansion from Emperor Yan's Mausoleum, Lian Xixian was walking side by side with Liu Heima.

"I have to admit that I have lost my chance to fight against Li Xia. The [-] army is gone, and we no longer have the strength to attack Li Xia. What's more frightening is that our generals are still not sober and have not recognized it. Therefore, I will not let Mr. Liu send troops."

Liu Heima said: "It's true...the sons suffered heavy casualties in Longyuan and Lintao."

"That's right." Lian Xixian said: "Please, Mr. Liu, be at ease. Although it is not good at present, it is only temporary. Just wait until His Majesty draws Ali Buge in Mobei, and the Mongolian cavalry turns around, and Song can be wiped out in one fell swoop. What's more, Li Xia?"

Liu Heima let out a long sigh of relief.

Right now, what he needs most is to recuperate.

Lian Xixian comforted Liu Heima, but then changed the tone and said, "I'm just afraid to let it go and let Li Xia gain a firm foothold in Longxi."

Everything he said before was about the situation, and only now did he start to throw out his plan.

"Actually, Hanzhong is already empty, this time it is really empty of troops, and Li Xia's troops are all in Longxi."

Liu Heima squinted his eyes, shook his head and said, "However, all the passes on the Shu road are in the hands of the Song army, and Li Xia's plan is far-reaching."

"We also have to pretend to be soldiers in Jieting, steal Hanzhong with a surprise soldier, strangle Li Xia's way back, and his power will be destroyed by itself."

"This……"

"Liu Gong also knows that Li Xia should not be allowed to gain a foothold in Longxi. However, his army is holding on to the main roads of Longxi, and it is difficult to conquer. Hanzhong is different, even if it is to frighten him and force him to disperse his forces and seize his opportunity."

Having said that, Lian Xixian had let go of the rein with both hands, took out a memorial from his sleeve, and handed it to Liu Heima.

"After Hanzhong is taken, I would like to ask Your Majesty to combine the east and west roads of Lizhou into one road, and Liu Gong will be the military and civilian economic envoy."

Liu Heima was stunned, reached out to take it, and lowered his head in thought.

This is completely different from Liu Yuanzhen's persuasion at the time.The rhetoric seems to be somewhat similar, but Lian Xixian's insight into the situation and grasp of people's hearts are by no means comparable to Liu Yuanzhen.

Lian Xixian looked back at Guan Zhong from his horseback, and finally muttered something to himself.

"Administrating one side, pacifying Shengli, the country entrusts me with a big plan, and it will be life and death with him..."
