Chapter 645
Hanzhong.

Yanku Lane, Hanfu.

"After the ceremony, leave the class and send it to the bridal chamber!"

The praisers shouted loudly, Han Qi'an, who was 43 years old at the time, felt a little ashamed, lowered his head, and led his bride to the backyard with the ribbon of colored balls.

Along the way, the bridesmaids carried sacks for them to step on, which means "carrying on the family line".

The banquet in the front yard started, it was not a big deal, just a few tables were simply set up.

Li Yong smiled and toasted the people at the table where Kong Xian was.

"Congratulations! Kong An has managed to comfort a good sister-in-law."

"Happy with joy..."

Halfway through the banquet, Shi Jun, the highest-ranking transfer envoy, took the lead to leave because of his busy schedule.

After that, Kong Xian was also drunk.

Li Yong allowed the rest of the guests to drink, and helped Han Chengxu to go to the study.

"Yining finally continued the string, can Mr. Han feel relieved?"

"It's a lot of peace of mind." Han Chengxu laughed heartily and wiped his eyes, "It's fortunate that Alang made the decision."

"Unfortunately, it coincided with the war, and it was not lively enough, and Feiyu was not there."

Han Chengxu waved his hand, and murmured: "No need to be lively, no need to be lively... just don't feel wronged by the Kong family."

Li Yong nodded.

He is the bystander who can see most clearly that Han Qi'an is unwilling to continue.

But this kind of thing is involuntary.

The Han family experienced the disaster of the Jin Dynasty and the war, and Han Chengxu's lineage withered. Now that they have made a fortune again, the old man must want to pass it on.

It was Kong Xian’s younger sister who Han Qi’an continued. Li Xia was said to be in charge of this marriage, and Gao Mingyue was behind the marriage. He found out that Kong’s marriage was delayed due to war disasters, and he was wasted in Yunding City with his brother until he was 24 years old... …

Kong Xian, the pacifier of Lizhou West Road, married Li Xia, a shogunate adviser, and if something happened in the future, it would definitely affect Kong Xian's choice.

The so-called "connections", marriage is always the most effective way for families to establish roots in the local area.

Then gradually intertwined and intertwined, forming a towering tree that is difficult to shake.

Even he, Li Yong, had to marry a certain force if necessary...

"The Kong family will not feel wronged, Ning is Feiyu's number one adviser, and now we have recovered Longxi." Li Yong helped Han Chengxu sit down in the study, and said with a smile: "Shi Jun also agreed to marry his daughter to my Dalang. "

Han Chengxu stroked his beard and murmured, wondering: "Now it seems that Mr. Li still thinks that Liu Heima will not agree to marry a daughter?"

"I have my own way." Li Yong smiled mysteriously, but did not answer directly.

Han Chengxu understood, and said with a smile: "No wonder your adoptive heir originally had this in mind."

"Patriarchal clan is great."

"Li Gong has far-reaching plans."

"It's not a far-reaching plan." Li Yong laughed at himself: "I thought about it a few years ago, just at the right time."

"At that time, Liu Heima will not be able to blame Li Gong." Han Chengxu said with a smile: "Why did he refuse it earlier."

Li Yong walked to the door, took a look outside, and asked his confidants to guard the courtyard, and then sat down.

"Mr. Han thinks that Liu Heima can join him?"

"With time, whether he is in Fengxiang or Jingzhao, he should have received the news, so it is not difficult to deduce the situation in Longxi."

"Once you know the result, it's very simple to reverse it. It's the most basic skill to be on one side." Li Yong said: "However, I'm afraid these Mongolian rebels are still immersed in the big dream of the past and refuse to admit that their troops are weak. "

"The Mongolian army has won for too many years, and they won't be convinced for a while."

"That's good." Li Yong said: "We have weaknesses. In just a few years, we have regained too much land too quickly, with a small population and insufficient strength savings. It is already difficult to take Longxi."

Han Chengxu sighed: "Ah Lang can't help it. Brother Meng attacked Shu, this is the only opportunity to recover Hanzhong; the capital of Hundu is heading south, this is the only opportunity to recover Longxi, we can only grasp it."

"Yes, our infantry is not conducive to fighting on the plains, and it is impossible to attack Guanzhong."

Han Chengxu smiled, and said: "All along, A Lang has been thinking the same way. He called it 'defense and counterattack'. Therefore, although I don't know the information, I dare to assert that the key to regaining Guanzhong is to let Liu Heima attack Longxi."

"In this way, we don't need to fight on the plain, and our weakness will disappear." Li Yong said, "But what if Liu Heima doesn't attack Longxi?"

"Then wait." Han Chengxu said: "Just give Alang time to completely stabilize Longxi. Then take prisoners. After a year or two, a cavalry force can be gathered from Longxi."

Li Yong nodded.

"This is the benefit of Feiyu's plan for more than half a year. Even if the enemy is calm enough, there is nothing he can do about us."

"It's impossible to attack, and it's impossible not to attack. The enemy has no way to break the situation."

The two looked at each other, and Li Yong laughed at himself: "Thinking back half a year ago, I also said that Feiyu was in the middle of tigers and wolves. This plan is impossible, ashamed."

"The only difficulty is the timing of abandoning Hunduhai. If it is too early, it will not be enough to severely damage the enemy army in Guanlong. If it is too late, if Hunduhai wins, no one can defeat the Mongolian cavalry. Alang is very accurate."

"Good luck, it happens that both losers."

Han Chengxu disagreed, and said, "Let's talk about the memorial to Lin'an."

He picked up a piece of paper and handed it over, and spoke again.

"In March, Alang reported that 'There may be a civil war in Mongolia in the north, and the defense of Hanzhong will be strengthened'; nothing happened in April; on May [-], Alang and Wang Liangchen 'coincidentally met' on Qishan Road. In mid-May, this was reported. A 'small victory'."

Li Yong took a look at it and asked, "It's only the 28th today. Is it too early to report to the court to recover Longxi?"

"What does Mr. Li mean?"

"The victory of Qishan Mountain will be reported in the middle of May, and the imperial court will not receive it until at least the middle of June, and the reward for meritorious deeds will be in the middle of July. We should wait for the award to be determined." Li Yong calculated, and said slowly: "Then ...After mid-June, we will report the victory of regaining Longxi."

"Alright."

Han Chengxu shook his head, feeling a little helpless.

Song Ting's reaction was always so slow, so slow that he couldn't adapt.

It's not a matter of distance.

For example, a year after Mongolia sent troops from Hara and Lin to destroy the Dali Kingdom, Song Ting was still debating whether to send troops to support it...how could it be the reason for the journey?

"At that time, Feiyu would like to recommend Wang Jian to guard Longxi."

Han Chengxu's eyes lit up, and he muttered for a moment: "Wang Jianli made the first achievement of beheading Brother Meng. How dare the court use it?"

Li Yong raised his hand and pointed to the sky, sighed: "So I have to change.... After changing, many things will be simple."

"Okay, okay, what Alang lacks most right now is such a general who can guard one side... But Wang Jian is probably loyal to Song Ting, right?"

"That's why I said that there is no rush to pass on the good news, just delay it if you can, and give Feiyu more time to master Longxi." Li Yong said: "At that time, Hanzhong will be in the middle, and Wang Jian will not be able to avoid us when he has contacts with the court."

"Delay can be delayed, but if you delay for a long time, you may be suspected. In addition, you also need military exploits to benefit from Song Ting."

"Don't worry, Mr. Han, I will take care of this."

"Then I will leave this matter to Mr. Li."

Li Yong nodded, and said: "One thing I'm worried about recently... Feiyu is too despised the role of certain things."

"You mean Mr. Li?"

"He called those 'superstitions.'"

Han Chengxu nodded, and said: "Yes, even though he was called the king of the underworld during the celebration of the talisman, he still underestimated the usefulness of ghosts and gods to Miao Jiang. It is said that the Yi soldiers in the commander's mansion were also subdued by the mistress through Asha. A Lang is...too sensible, but he doesn't know that it's easier to confuse the world."

"I heard that the Dragon Palace of the Li family is in Gongchang, and I sent two letters asking him to go to sacrifice."

"What did Aaron say?"

"He said he understands, and he will go when he's done. Obviously, this is far from enough attention, I'm afraid he thinks I want him..." Li Yong stopped talking, and said solemnly: "This should be the first thing he wants to do after he arrives in Gongchang. Great job."

"Yes, this is an important name for laying the foundation in Longxi." Han Chengxu was deeply touched, nodded and said: "The important affairs of the country are the sacrifices and the soldiers."

"I'm here to persuade him that it may be half the effort, please ask Mr. Han to write a letter to persuade him... who?!"

Li Yong heard movement in the courtyard, turned his head and drank, and then listened to the announcement from the courtyard.

"Mr. Li, Jiang Sishi has something to ask for you."

~~
Jiang Fan drank a few glasses at the banquet, his face was a little red, but he was not drunk.Seeing Li Yong returned to the hall, he immediately stepped forward and said something in his ear.

"Grand Li...he brought it back, and he should be able to arrive in Chenggu County tomorrow."

"You got it?" Li Yong was quite surprised, "How can I get it?"

"Here... at the beginning of the month, Liu Zongshen, the magistrate of Xunzhou, hosted a banquet to celebrate Wu Gong's birthday. At the banquet, we arranged people around Wu Gong to secretly change the wine. Later, we found that the wine prepared by Liu Zongshen was highly poisonous. His liver and gallbladder were broken, he didn't dare to let Mr. Wu stay in Xunzhou, so he pretended to be dead that night, and secretly replaced Mr. Wu out of Xunzhou..."

Li Yong couldn't believe it.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, it would be hard for him to believe that the party struggles in the temples of the Song Dynasty have reached such a tragic level.

This kind of poisonous killing is rare in the green forest.

"Fake death? The fame of Duke Wu I."

"There is no way, Liu Zongshen is the prefect, and we are only four people going to Xunzhou, so we have no choice but to make a bad decision."

"Thank you Jiang Envoy, I will meet you at Chenggu Wharf tomorrow."

"Yes." Jiang Fan cupped his hands, as if nothing happened, and went back to the banquet to drink.

~~
The next evening.

Li Yong went down the river, and the small boat met the big ship on the Han River.

After getting on the big boat and turning into the cabin, I saw an old man sitting there holding a book and reading... Li Yong couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Why are you crying?"

"Grandpa's reputation is more important than the world in his life, and his peaches and plums are all over the world, but now he is... all alone, from Xunzhou to Hanzhong..."

Looking back on Wu Qian's life, at the age of 22, he was the number one scholar, both brothers were among the ranks of ministers, and there were countless children and disciples.

But now, his sons and disciples have been relegated to other places, and his staff members have dispersed... His wife has long since passed away. When he arrived in Xunzhou, he was alone, not to mention feigning death and fleeing for thousands of miles.

Li Yong couldn't hold back his tears when he thought of this point.

Wu Qian just smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't this captured by you? In fact, it's fine if I die, as long as I don't hurt my children's future."

He actually didn't want to be rescued. He lived to be 65 years old. Even if the party struggle failed, he had already lived his life to the peak.

Seeing the helplessness in Wu Qian's eyes, Li Yong quickly comforted him.

"Please don't be discouraged, Mr. Wu. Let's see how we regained Guanzhong and Sanjing..."
