Chapter 438
On the table was a map of Chengdu's prefectural roads, with detailed descriptions of rivers and mountains.

Han Qi'an raised his hand and fiddled with the war chess, and arranged the pawns, horses, and camps that were carved beautifully and vividly on the Chengdu Plain one by one.

Every time he pushes a pawn, he swings the barracks forward.

This is a "step by step" style of play, and Li Xia had discussed it with Han Qi'an before going out.

Jiang Chun, who was pacing back and forth in the hall, couldn't get used to Han Qi'an's calm look, and tapped on the table again.

"Brother Yi Ning! If you say something, the comforter Zhu has persecuted you to this point, what should you do?!"

"What are you afraid of him doing?" Han Qi'an said, "He doesn't even have an official seal, what can you do?"

"What you said, once the war is over..."

"Once the war is over, the great meritorious deeds will be enough to cover up all the merits and demerits." Han Qi'an interrupted Jiang Chun's noise, and said: "A Lang often said, 'Every time you face a major event, you must be calm', Brother Zaiyang Sit down and talk."

Jiang Chun sat down depressed.

Han Qi'an squinted at the map for a while, then looked away, and said: "Recently, a few letters have been sent to A Lang from Lin'an. Tell Brother Zaiyang a piece of news...Cheng Yuanfeng has given up."

Jiang Chun was startled, and asked, "Then my wife's uncle?"

"Mu Gong is old and has returned to Anji, Huzhou."

After two sentences, Jiang Chun's heart was like a turbulent sea, and he murmured, "Ding...Ding Xiang?"

"Now Ding Daquan and Ma Tianji are sitting in the prime minister, in charge of the Privy Council, and in charge of military and state affairs."

"A while ago, I heard from Lu Yizhou that a hundred officials in the DPRK have joined forces to deal with the Ding Party."

Halfway through Jiang Chun's speech, he suddenly realized.

He whispered: "So, Cheng Xianggong is dismissed?"

Thinking of Li Xia's decisive knife to kill Lu Yizhou, he knew how sophisticated Li Xia was in grasping the official situation.

No.

It's not that Li Xia is old-fashioned, but that he has a big backer. Behind Ding Dang are Concubine Yan Gui and Dong Dadang, so what news do you want?

Damn, it's so enviable...

"Aspect battles are not for everyone." Han Qi'an casually threw out two envelopes, "Look, whoever is qualified."

Jiang Chun took it, and saw that one envelope was signed "Tiantai Promotes Weaving Students", and the other was "Lu Zhai Lay".

He frowned and thought, frightened.

Han Qi'an said: "The three major battlefields in the world are divided into Sichuan, Sichuan, Jinghu, and Lianghuai. Now some people are in the main town of Jinghu, and some are supporting Lianghuai. None of them want to move Ding Daquan at this time, a group of kittens and puppies Jumping up and down, what's the use?"

Jiang Chun is an old official, and he understood what Han Qi'an meant when he heard it.

In addition to Ding Daquan, Li Xia also has Jia Sidao and Wu Qian.

Now that the battle has been fought like this, Jia Sidao and Wu Qian have no time to deal with Ding Daquan for the time being, and the three parties obviously maintain a certain tacit understanding.

Even in the future, when Ding Dang falls, Li Xia still has two big backers.

Stepping on three big boats, afraid of a Zhu Xisun?
Seeing that Jiang Chun's face gradually calmed down, Han Qi'an knew that what he said was not in vain.

"Brother Zaiyang, please inform Zhu's appeasement envoy that the merits of the First Battle of Xulu have been reported to Lin'an, and he will be promoted soon. At that time, the official seal and soldier amulet will be handed over to the new Tongchuan Fulu appeasement envoy, and there is no need to worry about it now. "

Jiang Chun has fully understood.

"This." He put the two envelopes in his hand back on Han Qi'an's table, pointed and said softly: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to tell him directly, how can I make him believe me?"

Han Qi'an looked back at the war chess in front of him again, and said: "There is another bargaining chip, we will win the battle in Chengdu."

"Brother Yining, why are you sure?"

"Just now I talked to Brother Zaiyang a lot, and it's all Alang's way of governing." Han Qi'an said, "Sun Wu said that 'soldiers are a major national event', and Alang understood it as 'war is a political method'."

Jiang Chun was taken aback.

"New Lin will lose to Alang again. The reason for the loss is that he bears more political pressure than Alang."

"Brother Yi Ning, you use words to make sentences." Jiang Chun shook his head.

Han Qi'an smiled and said: "Where there is power, there is politics, even if it is Mongolian."

……

If you analyze the great battle of Sichuan and Shu in a comprehensive way, all the political situations are unfavorable to the Song army.

There is still intrigue in the court, Pu Zezhi is under suspicion, the soldiers on the eastern Sichuan battlefield are alienated, even on the western Sichuan battlefield, Li Xia is also fighting for power with Zhu Yusun.

However, all these disadvantages were unknowingly turned into favorable political factors by Li Xia.

High-ranking officials and ministers were fighting for power, so well, taking advantage of the chaos of power and responsibility, Li Xia just used the name of these ministers to subdue soldiers who didn't know where they belonged, and went straight to the weakest point of the Mongolian army.

As long as you can win, you can rely on your victory on the battlefield to suppress all the remaining political crises...to form a virtuous circle of power development.

~~
"The point is, you have to win the battle."

After Jiang Chun returned to the mansion and thought about it, he faintly felt that he was intimidated by Han Qi'an.

Who knows whether the two letters from Jia Sidao and Wu Qian are true or not.

If it is true, how many secrets can there be in the letter that can be signed.

If Li Xia was defeated, these important ministers would abandon Li Xia just because they said they would abandon him.

At that time, it will really cost the lives of the whole family to suppress the crimes of restraining the superior, seizing military power, or even more terrible crimes...

"I'm so annoying, when can I be transferred back to Lin'an?"

Of course, the houses in Lin'an City are so expensive, you can't live comfortably if you don't give it a try.

Living in this world, good life is not easy to come by, even if you are an official, you have to work hard.

In short, since there is no retreat, what is the benefit of thinking too much?

Jiang Chun put aside these troubles and walked towards Jiang Cang.

Before entering the yard, I heard crickets calling from inside.

Jiang Chun frowned, and strode into the room, seeing Jiang Cang put something into his arms, and picked up the scriptures to recite.

"Good you little bastard! You are working so hard for your father, but you are messing around here."

"Father...what did father say? The child is studying hard..."

"Shut up! Take it out!"

Jiang Cang was so horrified that he reluctantly took out a booklet from his bosom.

A copy of "Promoting Weaving Sutra" was slowly handed to Jiang Chun.

It's annoying to see.

This is a book written by Jia Sidao, who has a family of Shicaitang and Naishu under his family, so this book is well-made and cheap, and it is widely circulated.

The literati in the world are extremely jealous of this matter, and deeply hate Jia Sidao's articles handed down to the world, but they are not doing their job properly.

Jiang Cang stretched out his palm and said, "My child knows his mistake."

"Ugh."

Jiang Chun sighed, and put the book back into his arms.

"You little bastard, you don't want to make progress all day long, you play business riddles and hammer balls all day long, and now you are still fighting with crickets? If you don't read the scriptures, will you be a prodigal fool in the future?!"

"Then...Jia Xianggong also plays with these..."

"He's an official brother-in-law, can you compare? Do you have a sister who looks like a fairy?"

Jiang Cang lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and said, "Father, Eldest Sister has sneaked out to help Uncle Han."

"What did you say?"

"Uncle Han came to visit us last time and brought a gift for the second sister..."

"Which second sister, um, Qiaoer."

Jiang Cang nodded vigorously, and said: "Uncle Han said that there are too many things to do, and the account can't be settled, so the eldest sister ran to help, a daughter's family, running around all day long, is not decent..."

As Jiang Cang said, he stole a glance at Jiang Chun.

It was supposed to be a plan to bring disaster to the east, but Jiang Chun just said "Oh", and then continued to reprimand him.

After finally being scolded, Jiang Cang saw Jiang Chun turn away and went to the door to take a look, but saw a strange scene.

Jiang Chun, who was walking in the courtyard, had already opened the "Zhizhi Sutra" and began to recite it.

"The theory says that among the things in the world, if there is someone who sees and loves others, a gentleman will never give up..."

"Strange." Jiang Cang leaned against the crack of the door and murmured, "Why did father do this?"

~~
In the evening, Jiang Di returned home from the back door, and just turned around the small door in the back yard, and saw Jiang Chun sitting on a stone bench reading a book.

She was startled, but calmed down after a while, and said with a calm smile, "Father, it will be dark, don't spoil your eyes."

Jiang Chun flipped the pages of the book and said calmly, "Where did you go?"

"The government is building a city to recruit troops to defend against Mengta, isn't it? My daughter will make some plans and help."

"As a father, I don't like the way you speak now, and you don't have any innocence of a girl." Jiang Chun didn't scold her too much, and asked, "Tell me, what did you do today?"

"Just settle the accounts in the public office of the government office, calculate the various expenses of the wharf, and calculate the grain and grass to support the north." Jiang Di said with a smile: "Daughter thinks that doing things for Xuzhou City can also relieve father's worries."

"Well, don't show your face in public. It's okay not to go at any time if you get tired of calculating."

"I know. Don't worry, father. Uncle Han takes good care of his daughter."

Jiang Di sat down at the stone table, glanced at the book in Jiang Chun's hand, and wanted to see what he was reading.

Jiang Chun turned the book over and answered casually.

"Heh, our family and the Han family can be regarded as one... a family."

~~
If we talk about the situation in Xuzhou City during this period, it is probably as calm as the atmosphere in Jiang Chun's home.

This is the situation behind Li Xia's nearly ten thousand soldiers.

But the situation behind Newell's march is much "better".

Just as Li Xia and Niu Lin were facing each other on the Chengdu Plain, Meng Ge had already broken through Qingju City...

~~
The guard of Qingju City is Duan Yuanjian.

Last year, he was the one who guarded Lingquan Mountain and assisted Liu Zheng in defending Jiantandu. As a result, Liu Zheng was defeated and Duan Yuanjian's lieutenant, Han Yong, was killed in battle.

For this matter, Duan Yuanjian scolded Liu Zheng for more than half a year, thinking that the northerners were unreliable.

Now that Brother Meng came to attack, when Duan Yuanjian was about to lead the Southerners to a desperate fight, his assistant Liu Yuan chopped off his head.

Qingju City fell.

Meng Ge didn't bother.

In the next few days, the Mongolian Khan sat firmly in his tent and received one success report after another.

Zhang Dayue, the guard of Yunshan City, was recruited by Yang Dayuan;
Zhao Shun, the defender of Shiquan Army, surrendered;

The Longzhou defender surrendered;

……

"Report! Great Khan, Yang Dayuan has persuaded Pu Yuangui, the guard of Daliang City, to surrender. Daliang City has surrendered!"

"Congratulations to the Great Khan! Pu Yuangui is a relative of Pu Ze. As soon as this person descends, Chongqing is already in the pocket of the Great Khan." Wang Dechen was overjoyed, and came out of the queue and said: "Fighting Shu and destroying Song Dynasty is just around the corner!"

Following the news, Montgomery's falcon-like eyes had landed on the map.

Wang Dechen quickly followed his gaze.

On the map, the Fujiang River, Jialing River, and Qujiang River, all the mountain cities above these three rivers have been uprooted.

When the army went to Chongqing, it was only a fishing city in Hezhou.

Listening to the deep Mongolian language that Mengge uttered, Wang Dechen pressed the knife, turned around, and shouted: "Who recruited Wang Jian for the Great Khan?!"

"Chen, Jin Guobao, is willing to go..."

Just at this time, someone shouted from a distance: "Khan! Urgent report!"

Meng Ge turned his head and squinted his eyes, as if he was going to hear some good news.

……

"Marshal Niu Lin sent the battle report."

"read."

Wang Dechen looked down, was stunned, and said: "Niu Lin was defeated in the Yangtze River... a big defeat? A big defeat. Chengdu was attacked by more than [-] troops of the Song army. Please Khan for reinforcements..."

He spoke very slowly, and subconsciously shook his head, suspecting that he was dreaming.

But Wang Dechen knew that this was not a dream.

He didn't even dare to look up at Meng Ge...
