Chapter 649 Good Office
June 21, Hanzhong.

At sunset, Li Zhaocheng was walking through Yanku Lane, when he met a middle-aged man coming out of Han's residence in front of him.

"Don't dare to bother elder brother to send it away."

Hearing this sentence, Li Zhaocheng looked at the middle-aged man inexplicably.

The appearance is mediocre, the demeanor is awkward, the clothes are patched, and the person is tidy, but it is a pity that there is a dull air.

The two passed by, Li Zhaocheng looked back again, and saw that the other party was only looking at the road, and his back was even more rigid.

He thought for a while and walked towards Han's house.

"Is Mr. Yining here? I have some business inquiries."

"This way please, Mr. Li."

"There is no need to lead the way, I will go there by myself..."

Walking all the way through the front yard, Li Zhaocheng was stunned for a moment when he heard the voices of a few rough women in front of him. He stopped, wanted to leave, and finally listened silently.

"Is she really a visiting son-in-law?"

"Gu Yun picked it out herself, can there be fake ones?"

"It seems that the character is really reliable, what is the source?"

"I heard that the medical family in my family is a concubine. My father died early and was kicked out by my brothers. I took my biological mother to practice medicine outside. The medical skills are poor. A while ago, I cured a person who was crippled. He lost the money, and took his biological mother to sleep on the street. Yungu saw him pitifully, and gave him two pennies, hey, he didn't accept it."

"If you put it that way, you'll be dumbfounded, and you'll feel silly just looking at it."

"Yun Gu asked him if he could heal the scar on her face, and said he could try, so he charged half of the deposit. As a result, after half a month, he went to the pier to carry sacks, and returned the deposit in a daze, saying medical skills It's too bad, it can't be cured. Because his surname is Han, and he comes and goes, Yungu asked him to come and show Alang."

"What did Aaron say?"

"Isn't that what you want, someone who can guard the door?"

"Then he is willing to marry?"

"I saw him once, he walked beside Yun Gu, he was as happy as a puppy."

"Hey, he is so beautiful in a broken house, aside from other things, Yungu's body..."

Li Zhaocheng couldn't take it anymore, turned around, and walked away silently.

It was only a short distance from Han Mansion to Li Mansion, and it seemed that the whole Hanzhong was filled with a festive atmosphere.

The summer grain is about to be harvested, and there are many people in the city holding weddings.

He alone was not very happy.

Going through the alley and back to Li's mansion, I saw two cooks hired by Li Yong were carrying the dishes and walking towards the kitchen, and he couldn't allow him to intervene, so he sighed slightly and turned to the study.

Someone was guarding the entrance of the small courtyard, seeing that it was Li Zhaocheng, they still stopped him, and let him in only after Li Yong had spoken in the study.

……

In the study, Wu Qian and Li Yong were sitting and talking.

There are many official documents on the desk, and a mask is placed beside it.

Because many officials in Hanzhong had seen Wu Qian, they were especially afraid of Shi Jun's sudden visit and needed to cover up temporarily.

According to Li Yong's idea, it doesn't have to be like this for a long time. When Li Xia stabilizes Longxi and even regains Guanzhong, his power may be strong enough to compete with Jia Sidao, and then he can expose the Xunzhou poisoning case.

He was not in a hurry, and planned to let Wu Qian get used to Hanzhong first.

Li Zhaocheng entered the study room, saluted and said, "I have seen my father, Mr. Wu."

"sit down."

Li Yong agreed casually, and continued to talk with Wu Qian.

First, I talked about the "leveling water method", that is, how to solve the water storage in disaster years and flood years after Hanzhong dams are built to store water.

Then he talked about how to change Wu Qian's "righteous boat law" and replace it with raising horses in Longxi.

Li Yong nodded repeatedly when he heard it, and took notes, expressing his gratitude to Wu Qian for his ability to govern the country, and he always adhered to the gift of a disciple.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu, for your advice. It's getting late, why don't we have dinner first?"

"No hurry, no hurry." Wu Qian waved his hand and said with a big laugh, "I've talked about government affairs these few days, how about talking to the old man about how Feiyu took Longxi? The old man waited patiently for a long time."

Li Yong smiled, and there was a look of pride in his eyes, which soon turned into a desire to ask for advice.

He knew very well that although Wu Qian was a civil servant and could not personally lead the army, he was an outstanding military strategist in the world.

Back then, after Duanping failed to enter Luo, Wu Qian proposed to guard against the Mongolian army's counterattack, and made an accurate judgment on the situation in the world.

It was also he Shangshu who proposed to merge the Jinghu Theater and make unified deployment by Meng Gong, and raised the importance of Sichuan and Sichuan.

After that, Meng Gong also proposed the strategy of defending Sichuan and Shu with a three-layer fence, and supported Sichuan and Shu after the war in Jinghu ended.

Can keenly analyze the battle situation in various places from the few words heard in Lin'an, and put forward appropriate countermeasures.As far as military strategy is concerned, looking at the world today, no one is younger than Wu Qian.

These years, that is, the first emperor refused to use Wu Qian.

"Tell Wu Gong about it in detail... Dalang, go and bring in the food."

Li Zhaocheng got up and left the study.

When he came in with the food box, Li Yong had already talked about the Battle of Longxi with Wu Qian in detail.

"..."

"I see."

Wu Qian caressed his beard and laughed for a long time, took a long sip from the pot, and then calmed down, saying: "Feiyu used Prime Minister Zhuge's plan to attack Wei twice, but first threatened to go out of the Ziwu Valley, and then ambushed the general Zhang Yun. In the end, we will go out to Qishan Road."

"Yes."

"When we arrived at Gongchang, did Liu Zhengshier use the method of breaking Xinyang bravely, and captured the city guard?"

"Exactly." Li Yong said, "When Fei Yu was making plans, the scrapped manuscripts were exactly the battle examples that Duke Wu mentioned."

"Okay, okay, the avenue is as simple as it is, and the magic of using it is in your heart."

Li Yong leaned over, poured wine for Wu Qian, and asked, "Do you think it's possible to break the game if you are an opponent?"

"It's difficult. Qi Shandao wiped out [-] troops, and the offensive and defensive momentum has been completely reversed. Next, Feiyu will use his power to overwhelm the enemy. If the opponent counterattacks Longxi, he will lose. If he does not counterattack, Feiyu will take in Longxi's forces. well!"

Li Yong also laughed and poured wine for Wu Qian.

"Several Shu roads, can you send troops to guard them?"

"I kept it."

Wu Qian nodded, holding the chopsticks to pick up vegetables, his eyes were always full of contemplation.

A piece of fried meat in an iron pan was brought to his mouth, but he stopped.

Li Zhaocheng said in a low voice: "This meat is a bit old after frying."

"Old." Wu Qian murmured: "The most important thing for the Mongols to fight... should be the word 'circle'."

"Why?"

"When Temujin died, he left a strategy of destroying the gold, saying that the gold soldiers were in Tongguan, and it was difficult to break through. If the false way is in our Song Dynasty, then send troops to Tang and Deng, and go straight to Bianjing... more than [-] detours inside."

Wu Qian murmured with a tone of contemplation: "The reason why I put forward that 'if the upper class survives, the country will survive, and if the upper class is destroyed, the country will be destroyed' is precisely based on the habits of the Mongols in combat, which Hulu learned from hunting. The conspiracy of mediation.

In the early days of the Mongolian army going south, they first attacked Jianghuai and then Jinghu, both of which were unfavorable, so they made a detour and outflanked and then attacked Sichuan and Shu;Looking at the wars of the past and the present, when it comes to the word 'circle', no one can compare with the Mongolian captives..."

Hearing this, Li Yong frowned and pondered, and asked, "Your Majesty wants to speak, but the Mongolian army detoured around Jinghu and attacked Hanzhong?"

He thought for a while, then asked again: "No way?"

Wu Qian put down his chopsticks, waved his hands and said, "Don't worry about guarding the wall, let the old man think carefully... how many defenders are there in Hanzhong?"

"More than three thousand people." Li Yong said: "And there are still garrisons in every prefecture and county, and there are also garrisons in Jinniu, Miicang, and Lizhidao. They can arrive within three to ten days."

"Then this plan is too risky, and the Mongolian army should not use it, unless there is a way to break through Hanzhong City quickly."

"Since you have this concern, you should send more horses along the way."

Wu Qian nodded, closed his eyes and thought about it, and asked again: "How many enemy soldiers have been captured by Qi Shandao, and where are they placed?"

"Some are still repairing roads on Qishan Road, some are transporting military supplies, and some are repairing dams at Heshan Weir..."

~~
Fengxiang Mansion.

Tan Ma ran back, raising gray smoke.

"Report! Report to Marshal Xuanfu and Report to Marshal Du, who have detected the enemy in Qinzhou and increased their troops by thousands, and then from Qinzhou to the south, go down the wooden doorway..."

After hearing the report, Liu Heima frowned, and pondered: "Is Li Xia back to Hanzhong?"

"No." Lian Xixian said: "If he goes back to defend Hanzhong like this, it means that he doesn't want Longxi. He's pretending to be a soldier and leading us to attack Qinzhou. He can't fall into the trap."

"Mr. Lian, are you sure?"

Lian Xixian shook his head.

"There's no need to guess. This is a clever plan. It looks like there is an ambush in Qinzhou. No matter what, I don't dare to take the risk of attacking. If I lose, I will lose Guanzhong, and he doesn't dare to come out to fight in the plains. Then he Hit his, we hit ours..."

As he said that, he and Liu Heima looked at each other, and said at the same time: "Attack Dasan Pass."

~~
June 23.

Liu Yuanli rode his horse and galloped, planning the plan to attack Hanzhong in his mind.

Let's first see if Hanzhong City is completely empty. If there is an opportunity to take Hanzhong in one fell swoop, the big thing is settled.

And even if there were still defenders in Hanzhong, in the plains outside the city, it was still impossible to have any troops capable of countering his [-] cavalry in a short period of time, enough for him to continue to complete the surprise attack.

When he was captured, he worked as a laborer in Heshanyan for a long time, and he knew that there were more than [-] prisoners left there.

One of Li Xia's fatal shortcomings is that he started too quickly. He fought in Chengdu, Diaoyucheng, Lizhou, Hanzhong, and Longxi. He indeed escorted too many prisoners, and he has not been fully reorganized yet.

Among the more than [-] people who built the Heshan Weir, they were the most loyal to Mongolia. Among them were Meng Ge's soldiers recruited from the south, Wang Dechen's old troops in Lizhou, and even Liu Yuanzhen's old subordinates in Chengdu.

First attack Heshan Weir, grab these troops back, then attack Chengdongjunqifang, seize the military supplies, send some soldiers and horses quickly northward to attack Dashan Pass, attack from both sides, break Dashan Pass, and let the troops in Guanzhong go south, and there will be supplies, and also There is a way out.

At the same time, another group of troops captured Yangping Pass from the back.

In this way, connecting Chencang Road in the north and Qishan Road in the west, there is enough time to block Li Xia's connection with Hanzhong.

Li Xia was only able to win Longxi, so he must not be able to support the Liu family in Guanzhong for a long time. When Li Xia loses the support of Longxi, whether he loses or surrenders, Hanzhong can win.

The key to the next step should be the big Sanguan.

Just use the method that His Majesty took the risk of taking the Dragon Shouguan when he marched south to Dali.

The front and rear pincers opened up the Chencang Road, advancing can be attacked, retreating can be defended...

~~
"Report!"

"Five Generals, Chenggu County is lit up!"

The terrain ahead became more and more open, and the hooves of the horses sounded like thunder. The Mongolian Han army had three horses per man, and 5000 men ran out with a momentum of [-] horses.

Liu Yuanli, who was in the middle army, turned his head and took a look, ordered to pass through Chenggu County without entering, and galloped towards Hanzhong City.

After running for half a day, in the afternoon, I returned from exploring the horse.

"Report! Five generals, the gate of Hanzhong is closed!"

Liu Yuanli cursed inwardly, "The action is too fast", and immediately ordered Lieutenant General Xiao Quan to lead 2000 people to Chencang Road.

Liu Jiajiu lived in Shanxi and Shanxi, and also transported grain to Lizhou. The generals were quite familiar with the terrain, so they divided their troops into two groups in an orderly manner.

Here, Liu Yuanli led the soldiers and ran for a while in the direction of Hanzhong. After a few glances, his brows were deeply frowned.

He could see that the guards above Hanzhong City were neat and tidy, and there was no panic at all. They should have taken precautions a day or two ago.

But when Hegu was marching, all the Song army scouts who met along the way were clearly shot, and the Song army horses were slow, so they knew it was possible half a day earlier, how could it be a day or two earlier?

Unable to delay for a while, Liu Yuanli pulled the reins and gave orders loudly.

"Let's go! Heshan Weir!"

~~
Above Hanzhong City, Shi Jun, Kong Xian, Li Yong, Han Qi'an and others stood side by side, looking north with binoculars, their eyes showing worry.

"Fortunately, Shouyuan realized the Mongolian army was coming the day before yesterday." Shi Jun said.

As he said that, Shi Jun frowned, already a little displeased with Lu Wenhuan, but now was not the time to talk about these things, so he could only deal with it calmly.

"Observing the movement of the Mongolian army, it is indeed heading for Chencang Road. I have sent someone to Dasan Pass to report to Xu Tongzhi urgently, and now I just wait for the Mongolian army to enter Chencang Road, and Lin Tongzhi will follow me to pursue."

Lin Zi took a look at Han Qi'an, and then said loudly, "Yes!"

He had already been ordered by Li Xia that if an enemy invaded, he could just follow Shi Jun's arrangement.

This time, Li Yong listened to Wu Qian's analysis and believed that if the Mongolian army made a surprise attack in a roundabout way, unless Hanzhong was unprepared and could be captured in one fell swoop, then the Mongolian army would most likely open up the Chencang Road and block the Qishan Road.

Wu Qian only did the analysis, but Shi Jun had to decide the specific tactics.

Shi Jun's response was also simple, let Xu Kui, the guard of Dasan Pass, be prepared first, so as not to be confused by the front and rear attacks.

Afterwards, when the Mongolian army was released into the Shu Road, he personally led the troops to pursue them...

It is still the old trick when breaking Wulianghetai back then.

But in a crisis, of course it is best to use the style of play that he is good at.

At that time, the Mongolian army will be blocked in the Chencang Road, and the food and grass will not be enough. Naturally, they will not be able to support the defenders on the Dasan Pass.

Kong Xian came to Hanzhong to see off his relatives, and just in time for the meeting, he could stay and guard the city.

It's a pity that although Wu Qian guessed that the Mongolian army might turn around, it was a bit late after all.

Shi Jun arranged it properly, and asked again: "Shou Yuan, Heshan Weir?"

"I have sent someone to send a message to take the captives to Baoxie Road."

"That's good, the only problem right now is that Yangping is closed..."

~~
Liu Yuanli was galloping towards Chencang Road, when he suddenly saw dust flying in front of him, and another scout came back.

"Report! No prisoners have been found at the Heshan Weir..."

Liu Yuanli touched the horse's neck, and his eyes became more and more worried.

He has realized that this surprise attack may be seen through.

Li Xia actually has such unpredictable abilities?
Right now, the best way is to still go all out to open up the Chencang Road in order to return to the army safely, as Lian Xixian repeatedly explained, "Don't ask for all efforts in one battle, just force Li Xia to divide his troops and just grab the opportunity."

If you can conquer Dasan Pass, it is not a waste of time.

But he was a little unwilling, and after more than [-] days of detours, he had to go through a big pass?
……

"Report! Report!"

While hesitating, another Tan Ma galloped back.

"Report! Report to the fifth general that a large number of Mongolian captives were found in the west. They were all bound and connected in strings. They came out of Yangping Pass and wanted to cross the Han River to the south. I saw our army scouting horses and retreating to Yangping Pass."

Liu Yuanli thought about it, and asked, "How many people?!"

"Densely packed, I don't know the number."

Liu Yuanli has already reacted.

He was a prisoner of war in Liupanshan in Lintao World War I!

Li Xia didn't dare to put those 5 people in Longxi, for fear of changes.

If you want to cross the Han River and go south...that is to move to Sichuan and Shu.

It is true that Hanzhong had counter-preparations, but it was only a day or two in advance, and it was too late to remove the prisoners, and the news from the two places had not even spread...

How to do it?
Drive into Chencang Road, join forces with Xiao Quan, take Dasan Pass, and keep the retreat?Or take the opportunity to take down Yangping Pass, strangle Qishan Road, control the prisoners of war, and then attack Dasan Pass together when we have the strength?
Hanzhong has been prepared, and the Song army may take advantage of entering Chencang Road at this time...

Liu Yuanli usually doesn't talk much and looks very calm, but once he has made up his mind, he is decisive.

"Turn west! Attack Yangping Pass!"

The horn sounded.

The three thousand cavalry rested for a while, changed horses, and galloped to Yangping Pass.

The victory or defeat of this battle depends only on whether the captives can take advantage of the time when they enter the city gate to seize the city gate and control the captives.

Horseshoes get sicker...

Gradually, Liu Yuanli saw Yangping Pass.

"Pass my military order! Charge at full speed!"

The voice sounded, and he saw that the captives were in a mess, crowded at the closed gate, preventing the Song army from closing the city gate.

Victory!

This is what we want, to snatch back the captives and capture the two key passes, then we will have the strength to capture Hanzhong... We have won!
Liu Yuanli knew that he could finally make his father realize his lifelong aspirations, and manage one side.

"Kill!"

~~
The setting sun is like blood.

In Fengxiang Mansion, Lian Xixian climbed up and looked at a row of soldiers and horses carrying siege equipment to the north of Dashan Pass.

He knew he was taking a risk this time.

But had to.

It would be good to be able to take Hanzhong. If not, rescuing the captives would also increase the strength of our own forces and weaken Li Xia. return.

In short, he took a risky gamble, and he tried his best to avoid the danger.

~~
In Hanzhong City, Shi Jun strode out of the city with Lin Zi and two thousand infantry, preparing to block Chencang Road.

They are also risking their lives.

During the first battle of Mahujiang, Shi Jun was never afraid, and he will not be afraid today...

On the top of the city, Kong Xian stood by his sword and inspected the military situation.

He wants to keep Hanzhong safe.

Inside the city, Li Yong and Han Qi'an quickly walked into the study room and asked Wu Qian for advice again.

"You mean...Yangping Pass is transporting a large number of captives, and there is no time to move them back?"

"Yes, at the beginning I sent a letter saying that I guessed that the Mongolian army might come, but it was not confirmed yet. This morning Yangpingguan sent someone to report that the [-] Mongolian army prisoners moved by Feiyu had arrived and they had to be sent away as soon as possible. The journey was too far. The news is inconvenient..."

"The old man has a doubt, even if Feiyu arranges it in advance, how can he wipe out 4 people?"

"Daoist Hao made a firearm..."

~~
"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

When Yang Ping closed it, there were four loud bangs.

The cannonball smashed through the galloping knight, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and people turned their backs on their backs.

"Bah!"

Liu Yuanli was thrown to the ground by the war horse, looked up in the confusion, and was stunned on the ground.

"It's too far away."

It is impossible for any artillery vehicle to hit this far...

~~
"Light it up! Light it up!"

Lu Xiufu yelled loudly, stepped forward in person, and lit the fuse with a torch.

There was another "boom".

The captives under the city turned their heads to look, and saw that the soldiers and horses in the distance were about to collapse before they came close.

"Longevity!"

"Longevity..."

~~
"Shut up!"

To the west of Yangping Pass, someone reined in the reins, listened carefully for a while, and smiled wryly.

"It seems that there is no danger."

"Marshal, I told you a long time ago, you don't have to worry at all."

"Aren't you comforting me?"

"Of course not, I guessed it! The commander-in-chief praises Mr. Han, Mr. Yining, Li Gong, Shi Junyun, and Lu Zhixian every day, but he always dare not let them do things. Haha, how many great people do we have in the world?" Hanzhong, of course don’t worry, I guessed it.”

　Thanks to the two lords of "Sex Ruduo" for the reward, let's add a chapter a day, old friend, thank you for your support~~
