Chapter 648 Opponents
June [-], Fengxiang Mansion.

Yelu Youshangzai explained in detail how he met Li Xia.

Lian Xixian put his hands on his knees, and there was no unnecessary small movement from the beginning to the end. At the end, he asked: "You said 'take Hanzhong', Li Xia didn't make any waves?"

"Yes, he seems to have a well-thought-out plan, and he is sure that we will not be able to capture Hanzhong."

Lian Xixian said: "Boqiang worked so hard, Li Xia didn't harm you, I am relieved."

"Thank you, Mr. Lian, for your concern..."

Liu Heima sat there watching Yelu Youshang retreat, and asked, "What's the benefit of sending an envoy to see Li Xia?"

He was actually a little worried, worried that he would be confused after seeing Li Xia like Jia Hou.

Lian Xixian understood Liu Heima's worries, got up, and poured a glass of water for Liu Heima himself.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu. Sending envoys is the right thing to do. Your Majesty will send envoys to inform you before the battle begins, so as to give the other party a chance to submit."

"But Li Xia obviously doesn't want to belong to Mongolia." Liu Heima said, "He has the will to stand on his own."

"It's the same thing if he doesn't want to, but it's my job to express my attitude." Lian Xixian said: "This is the name of righteousness, let the world know that the imperial court tried to appease and did not want the flames of war to spread to the people. .”

Liu Heima said: "This is the difference between Lian Gong and Li Xia. Lian Gong uses soldiers, acts resolutely, and is also dignified."

This was the case when Lian Xixian crusaded against Hunduhai. He seized the opportunity first, occupied the terrain, and then sent envoys to surrender, anticipating the enemy first, and being fully prepared to face the hasty enemy head-on.

Liu Heima believes that the use of troops should be as "righteous" as Lian Xixian's, so that he can occupy the righteousness and reputation, and show his strength to the world.

"Li Xia...too many tricks, too tricky."

"That's because he is accumulating strength." Lian Xixian pondered: "Li Xia's momentum is too fast, what he lacks is accumulation. And the decisive battle between us and Huntuhai is his only chance, he must grasp it, so he can only seek it by surprise. Victory can be called a helpless move. There are good tricks, but there are always disadvantages, and it is difficult to convince people."

Liu Heima smiled wryly, feeling that Lian Xixian was getting to the bottom of it.

"Li Xia is like... like a small street vendor who earns a copper coin every day and saves it carefully."

"That's why we always thought he was playing tricks, underestimated him, and always lost to him.

"He has saved enough copper coins, and taking advantage of this big gamble, he has become very rich?"

"That's right. Only with capital can you be qualified to be upright. The poor hawkers in the past have to change their clothes and start a big business. You see, Li Xia has begun to ask for a name to show his ambition. This time, he is using his power to overwhelm me." .”

At this point, Lian Xixian said: "Just let him run Longxi for another year or two, and then there will be a cavalry. At that time, they will drive through Guanzhong and fight head-on. Both Guanzhong and Longxi will be condescending. If it is not decided, then I will lose."

"Twice a year, Mr. Lian can always think of a way?"

"I think I can think of it, but when I am not as strong as him, even I can only use tricks."

At this point, Lian Xixian patted Liu Heima's hand, changed the subject, and said, "Grand Liu, whisper something. Last night, I drank with Peizhi and talked about his meeting with Li Xia in Hanzhong. It seems that... Li Xia Do you intend to win over Duke Liu?"

Liu Heima was taken aback and remained silent.

"Don't blame Liu Gong on Peizhi. He is drunk, so he can't stand my temptation." Lian Xixian said again: "I was also thinking, what would happen if I surrendered Li Xia? But just in case, His Majesty will lose to Ali because of this." No brother, the Central Plains has once again become a land of grazing horses, and you and I have wasted ten years of hard work in practicing Han law. Besides, Li Xia really can't let Liu Gongshi take over the place."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lian, I understand this..."

"It's good to understand, it's good to understand." Lian Xixian was really relieved, and said: "Liu Gong said so, I am [-]% sure to turn the situation back."

"Mr. Lian is humble." Liu Heima said: "In terms of military tactics and conspiracies, since the time of Genghis Khan, the Mongols have been playing for decades..."

~~
Li Xia has been annoyed recently.

He felt that Lian Xixian had the meaning of "treating his own body with his own way".

Originally, after taking Longxi, Li Xia finally had the "momentum" he had never had before.

Potential, simply put, is "I am strong in this area".

Wait another year or two, and when the Longxi cavalry is reorganized, it will be "I am the strongest in this area".

It would be best for Liu Heima to attack Longxi this time, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't come.

As long as Li Xia doesn't send troops to Guanzhong to fight on the plains, Lian Xixian will have nothing to do with him.

But after the envoys came, Li Xia was a little surprised.

This feeling should be the same as when Liu Heima got his military map.

Lian Xixian used Li Xia's method, and it seems that he is still learning and selling, because it is obvious that Lian Xixian used the law of war in the past.

This is very powerful. Once the offensive and defensive momentum changes, you can immediately recognize the situation, admit defeat, and learn how to defeat the strong with the weak.

It can be seen from this point that Lian Xixian is much better than Jia Sidao, not referring to intelligence, but attitude and mind.

Li Xia had heard of Jia Sidao before, but never of Lian Xixian.But at this time, he has realized that it is definitely not because Lian Xixian is not as capable as Jia Sidao.

It can only be said that due to various reasons, the stories of Lian Xixian and all the advisers of the Jinlianchuan shogunate were too rarely interpreted.

……

"Lian Xixian did have a way to take Hanzhong, and it was very safe... The reason why he told me was that I was sure that I was too late, and he wanted to mess with my mind, make me lose, and even give in to him..."

The thought in Li Xia's mind became more and more intense.

The reason why he can guess like this is because he is already well versed in the art of war and strategy, and once there is an opponent of similar level, he can immediately develop a "tacit understanding".

He looked at the map, his expression always focused.

Faintly, Li Xia looks a bit like Liu Yuanzhen.

But he is different from Liu Yuanzhen, he is too tough and determined, and his way of seeing things is also different.

Li Xia has no self-doubt, he is always sure of his own judgment.

Because, if he stands in Lian Xixian's position, he must achieve this level to be satisfied.

Not only to win Hanzhong, but also to use this to mess up the opponent's mind.

Lian Xixian wanted more, and he had to tell Li Xia upright, "If I take Hanzhong, Yiqiu will do nothing wrong."

To put the name right, he still wants to recruit Li Xia.

mad.

Crazy to be polite, open and generous.

Because of this, Li Xia gradually became excited.

"Qi Shandao is impossible..."

"The Meridian Road is impossible..."

He has analyzed every Shu road for a long time, and has considered it for four days.

"Let's broaden our horizons... rule out the impossible first... then... rule out these four Shu roads... Yinping Road to Chengdu, and Jinniu Road? Impossible..."

suddenly.

Li Xia's eyes froze, and he weighed heavily on the map.

This finger was extremely forceful, and the map was immediately pierced by him.

He wiped his forehead habitually and grinned.

Met interesting opponents...

~~
In the third year of Mengge Khan's reign, Kuichou, Liu Heima followed Mengge to Liupan Mountain. At that time, Shangzhou bordered Song Dynasty and was invaded several times. Mengge ordered Liu Heima to guard Shangzhou.

Shangzhou is known as "the throat of Qin and Chu".

It is located in the southeast of Jingzhao Mansion, at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains.

It is connected to Tongguan in the north and Junzhou on Southwest Beijing Road in the Song Dynasty to the south.

If you look at it from the map, Shangzhou is on the east side of Meridian Road. From Shangzhou to Junzhou, you can reach the north bank of the Han River, and go up the Han River to Hanzhong.

It is almost the same as the way of Mongolia's fake way to destroy gold.

Attacking Hanzhong by this road is much longer than any other Shu road, more than [-] miles, and you have to detour through Jinghu Lake first, and the Song Dynasty is all along the way.

But this is exactly the art of war that the Mongolian army is best at bypassing the abdomen. It is the same for destroying gold, and it is also the same for destroying Dali.

Fufu, that is, to avoid the enemy's frontal defense line, and make a detour to attack the abdomen behind.

~~
In the third year of Wokuotai Khan in Mongolia, in July, he dragged the thunder to Fengxiang and went south. He first sent an envoy to borrow the way with Song Dynasty, and wanted to make an appointment to join forces to destroy gold.

Tuo Lei was furious and entered Dasan Pass, first swept through Da'an Army, Lizhou, Daizhou and other places, broke Wuxiu Pass, took Yangzhou, and entered Hanzhong. , Fangzhou, defeated the Jin army in Wudang Mountain, and entered Tangzhou and Dengzhou of the Kingdom of Jin.

Only in the first month of the following year was the battle of Mengjin Sanfeng Mountain, which showed how fast Tuo Lei Qingqi was advancing.

Liu Yuanli went up against the Han River, not daring to compete with Lei.

But he didn't intend to take the states and counties along the way, he only planned to enter Hanzhong.

1000 two hundred miles away, he can get there in [-] days.

The key point is that the exit of the Hanshui River Valley is guarded by the defenders of Jinghu, not the defenders of Sichuan and Shu...

On the second day of June, Liu Yuanli led five thousand Qingqi out of Wuguan.

On the eighth day of June, when the Mongolian army arrived in Junzhou, Song Junzhou defender Lu Wenhuan was caught off guard and quickly closed the city.Liu Yuanli broke the Song army outside the city at Gaotou Chishan, turned westward, and went up the Han River...

~~
June [-]th, Fengxiang Mansion.

Lian Xixian stood at the top of the city, looked west, and said, "Li Xia hasn't sent troops yet, so I can hold my breath."

Liu Yuanzhen asked: "Why did you expect Li Xia to send troops?"

"It's not predetermined, and there's no need to predict anything. Zhongju is too persistent." Lian Xixian said, "I'm just watching whether Li Xia will come or not."

Liu Yuanzhen pondered for a while, and asked, "If Li Xia guessed that the fifth younger brother would turn around, it would be too late. Therefore, he wants to break the siege of Hanzhong. There are two ways, return to the army for reinforcements, or send troops to Guanzhong to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao?"

"Li Xia likes to ambush, and Mengren likes to intervene in the abdomen, both of which are 'attacking the enemy's weakness. , then you don’t need to think about what Li Xia will do, you just need to achieve the purpose of attacking the weak with the strong.”

Liu Yuanzhen felt that he had made some progress.

He gradually understood, why did he lose to Li Xia before?
It is precisely because Li Xia always only wants to achieve "strike the weak with the strong", and he is too obsessed with appearances.

Lian Xixian saw that Liu Yuanzhen's expression was still the same, and sighed: "Zhongju, don't think about defeating Li Xia anymore. This is also a kind of obsession, which makes you unable to let go of your heart. If you don't let go of your heart, this time we I had to send Goro there."

"Dare to ask Mr. Lian, how do you get rid of your heart?"

"Simple, admit that Li Xia is far better than you." Lian Xixian said, "Although I haven't seen him, he is by no means an ordinary person. Why do you try to match him?"

Liu Yuanzhen remained silent.

Lian Xixian allowed him to comprehend by himself, looking at the plain to the west and thinking.

As he said, the art of war is very simple, use the strong to defeat the weak.

This strong does not refer to the number of people. Guanzhong troops can be called strong if they attack [-] Song infantry on the plain with [-] troops.

And if Li Xia transferred troops back to Hanzhong, even if he only transferred 3000 people.The original balance of [-] Song troops scattered in various passes in Longxi would also be broken, and the strength of the Weihe River Valley and Jieting Pass would be tight, and [-] cavalry would be able to claim strength even if they advanced into Longxi.

Of course, it was too late for Li Xia to return to Hanzhong.

What Lian Xixian hopes more is that after this defeat, Li Xia is willing to come and work together with him to help this emerging dynasty.

"Why stand shoulder to shoulder with him?" Lian Xixian murmured, "Wouldn't it be better to persuade him to join forces with us?"

　I am grateful for the reward from the lord of Ruduo, today and tomorrow will be updated, but it will be very late, don't wait~~
