Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 395
The Baoxie Road is the earliest, largest and longest passage among the roads from Guanzhong to Sichuan.

Baoxie Road starts from Baogukou in the south, ends at Xiegukou in the north, runs along Baoxie Ershui, runs through Baoxie Ergu, hence the name Baoxie Road, also known as Xiegu Road.

Among them, the plank road was first built during the period of Fan Ju and Xiang Qin in the Warring States Period. Zhang Yi and Sima attacked Shu by mistake, and the army marched through this road.

As the most closely connected road with Guanzhong, this place should have been a business travel joint, faintly unfolding, crowns interlaced, and squares connected...

But because of the division of Guanzhong and Hanzhong since the separatist regime of Shu Han at the end of Han Dynasty, Baoxie Road has lost its previous prosperity.

After that, apart from the short-term unification of the Western Jin Dynasty, Guanzhong, Hanzhong, and Shu have always belonged to the two sides.Over time, it also accelerated the decline of Baoxie Road.

Liu Yizhen was marching on the plank road, and occasionally saw abandoned post stations and outposts on the road, so he said to Xie Hui who was beside him: "This Baoxie road has been in disrepair for a long time, which is not conducive to Chang'an's control of Shu. Wait until you come back from this expedition. , We must call in civilian husbands to fix this.”

"Yes Yes Yes."

Xie Hui absent-mindedly responded, the person is still here, but the soul has already flown to Hanzhong.

"When we arrive in Hanzhong, I will send people to go to Shu to buy some food from Shu. Your cousin Xie Lingyun has written a lot about the delicious food and wine from Shu in his diary."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"..."

Seeing Xie Hui's absent-minded appearance, Liu Yizhen asked, "What's wrong with Xie Shizhong?"

After calling several times in a row, Xie Hui was still in a trance, and Fan Daoji, who was in charge of guarding Liu Yizhen, poked Xie Hui, and Xie Hui just woke up like a dream.

"His Majesty……"

Liu Yizhen looked at him amusedly: "Xie Shizhong was also a person who followed the late emperor to fight in the north and south, why is he so reluctant to let go this time?"

Xie Hui's body staggered with the swaying of the horse, and after finally straightening his body, he said to Liu Yizhen with a wry smile: "Your Majesty was joking, this is not a matter of being open or not."

"Back then, the late emperor was even more brave, but I can persuade you anyway. But I want to persuade Your Majesty...I really don't have the confidence."

Liu Yizhen's strategy has always been bold, but compared with Liu Yu's "feat" of rushing to the enemy's formation to take a bath at every turn, it is still somewhat normal.

When Liu Yu conquered Sima Xiu in Jingzhou, his son-in-law Xu Kuizhi, who is now the husband of Liu Xingdi, the eldest princess of Liu Song, died in battle. Liu Yu was so angry that he rushed to the enemy's army alone to kill the enemy.

It was Xie Hui who came forward and hugged Liu Yu's waist tightly, and Liu Yu's superiors ordered Xie Hui to let go of him, otherwise Xie Hui would be killed.Xie Hui, on the other hand, refused to let go after beating him to death, and said, "The world can live without me, Xie Hui, but it cannot live without Liu Gong. Once Xie Hui dies, how important is it?"

In this way, in the end Xie Hui still persuaded Liu Yu to come down, so that Liu Yu would not really kill the enemy army alone.

With this experience of "dead remonstrance", Xie Hui thought that there was no one in this world who he could not convince himself, but Liu Yizhen appeared now...

After experiencing many things with Liu Yizhen, Xie Hui understood that Liu Yizhen respected the opinions of the ministers regardless of Liu Yizhen's appearance of "ruling from the bow", but in fact, what he really decided was that ten cows could not be pulled back.

Just like entering Shu this time...

Xie Hui's expression was somewhat helpless: "Your Majesty, after much deliberation, I still feel that this time is too dangerous. If the battle is wrong, I hope that Your Majesty will ignore any plans and withdraw to Guanzhong immediately!"

Liu Yizhen didn't answer Xie Hui directly, but took Xie Hui to see the scenery.

"Let go of Xie Shizhong, look at those little guys, aren't they having fun?"

Xie Hui was not interested in looking at other people at first, but after Liu Yizhen said so, he couldn't help but look up.

What Liu Yizhen was talking about was none other than the five tigers of the Habayashi Army's "transfer students".

Among them, Zhu Xiuzhi, An Jie, Liu Yuanjing, and Zong Que had all been promoted to school lieutenants, each commanding a thousand soldiers, but Xue An was still a big soldier, and was "bullied" by several people back and forth.

I saw that Xue An was summoned to explore the road ahead for a while, and was asked to supervise the baggage at the back for a while, running around even the horses under his crotch were so tired that they began to roll their eyes.

"Xue Andu!"

"come over."

It was Liu Yizhen who called him over, making Xue An temporarily relieved.

"What are you doing? Those people are making such a fuss about you?"

"His Majesty……"

Xue An showed tears in his eyes towards Liu Yizhen who rescued him.

"Your Majesty! They are avenging their private revenge!"

When Xue An saw Liu Yizhen, he seemed to feel that someone who was in charge of him was coming, so he immediately poured bitter water on Liu Yizhen.

"I made a bet with them that I can stay up for three days, and then they said that I am idle, so I might as well do more work..."

Liu Yizhen: "..."

Xie Hui: "..."

Xie Hui glanced at Xue Andu with extreme disgust, then leaned into Liu Yizhen's ear and asked, "Your Majesty, isn't this a fool?"

Liu Yizhen: "..."

Can this thing really grow into a "Pillar of Liu Song Dynasty" in the end, can it become the Pingbei general who "champs the three armies bravely"?

Why do you feel that your brain is really not working well?

"Cough cough."

Liu Yizhen said in a teaching tone: "Now that the army is going to Hanzhong to resist the Xiongnu Shanyu, are you not worried at all?"

"worry about what?"

Xue An actually asked Liu Yizhen rhetorically.

He looked at Liu Yizhen, the emperor, and Xie Hui beside him with strange eyes.

"Since the first emperor's Northern Expedition to alien races, has there ever been a defeat?"

Such a rhetorical question made Xie Huiwen speechless for a while.

Does he know how many dangers he has experienced in these countless victories?How much effort was spent?

Every war is a new starting point, a new gamble, who dares to say that he can win every battle?

Xue Andu's "theory that he has never been defeated before, so he will not lose now" really made Xie Hui speechless.

Unexpectedly, Xue Andu's next sentence made Xie Hui fall into deep thought.

"Not only the ministers, but also the other soldiers never thought that my Song Dynasty would lose on the battlefield. Why did His Majesty ask us if we are worried?"

It is arrogance when a person believes that the army will win every battle.

But when everyone believes that the army will win every battle, it is difficult to describe it as "arrogant".

Liu Yizhen stretched out his arm and patted Xie Hui's shoulder.

"The founder of the country is far braver than usual."

"How can such an army fail?"

Seeing that Xie Hui was lost in thought by himself, Liu Yizhen turned his head and looked at Xue Andu again: "How many days are you left before the "three days sleepless" bet?"

Xue An blinked his red and swollen eyes and said excitedly: "One more day!"

"very good!"

Liu Yizhen put on a smiling face like "I'm not a devil" and said: "Then you should march quickly now, arrive in Hanzhong within a day, and bring the news that our army is about to arrive!"

"what?"

"Ah for what!"

Liu Yizhen squinted his eyes: "So? Are you going to resist the order?"

"Wow!"

Xue An turned his horse's head around, feeling a surge of sadness in his heart, and ran forward feebly.

"One day at most! If you are late, you will be dealt with according to military law!"

Liu Yizhen's words were like a vicious long whip that lashed Xue Andu's back fiercely. Xue Andu was so frightened that he hurriedly urged his horse to charge forward, dripping crystals of tears or sweat...
