Chapter 452
The Longquan Mountains stretch across the east of Chengdu, dividing the water systems of the Minjiang River and the Tuojiang River, as well as western and eastern Sichuan.

In recent years, the Song army retreated steadily on the Chengdu battlefield, and could only rely on the terrain of the Longquan Mountains to entangle with the Mongolian army. Li Xia also successively stationed troops on Yunding Mountain and Pengzu Mountain.

Unexpectedly, the world changed and the situation was completely reversed.Now it was Liu Heima who led five hundred remnants into the mountains, using the terrain to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the Song army.

The situation is bad.

Sitting in the shade of a tree, Liu Heima opened his robe and saw that the burnt and soaked wounds on his body had begun to rot.

The personal soldier Liu Yi stepped forward with a dagger and said, "Commander, will the villain be cut off?"

"Cut."

Liu Heima didn't change his expression, he raised his head and looked at the few spots of sky leaking from the branches.

After a while, Dou Da's sweat dripped from his forehead, he gritted his teeth, but he didn't say a word until the end.

Not everyone can be as tenacious as him. In just half a day, more than ten wounded soldiers died in the army.

Liu Heima had just treated his injuries, and immediately got up and walked over there.

"Marshal." Liu Yi stepped forward again, pointed to the corpses on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Can you roast them?"

With a sound of "pa", Liu Heima slapped him on the face and cursed: "Brother who lived and died together, you can say such words!"

The dejected soldiers around turned their heads to look at him.

Liu Heima's face sank like water, and he shouted: "It's my fault that I lost the battle. But you are all good guys, and you are all brave men who came with me from the north. I swam here from the Minjiang River. If you are still angry, grit your teeth and survive! When you break through to the middle of Sichuan, you will be raised for two months, and you will still be prosperous and rich in the future!"

He took a few steps and glared fiercely at the soldiers.

"But if anyone can't hold it anymore, let me tell him now, I will give him a happy one. I failed to take you back to your hometown for burial, but I will never eat a piece of your body. Some warriors who can survive have skills. food!"

"The commander-in-chief is right, go to Sichuan, bring back soldiers and horses, and grab the southerners!"

The demoralized morale rose a bit, Liu Heima asked someone to dig a hole to bury the dead, then called Liu Yi, and said: "You are also a warrior, if it were you who died, can I let people eat your flesh?"

Liu Yi felt ashamed.

But he was so fierce that he said: "If the villain dies, please ask the commander to cut up my meat and eat it. If it is rough, it will be fine if the commander can live!"

"The dog hozen..."

At this point, the sentry has rushed back over there.

"Marshal, I found a Song man..."

Liu Heima's face remained unchanged, and he gave the order to set off.

He planned to go south and walk along the mountains. If the Song army dared to pursue him, he could loot the villages along the way after passing Jiading Mansion.

Even, an idea of ​​a surprise attack on Syria has gradually taken shape in his mind.

But then, the whistle said: "There are only a few Song people who shouted in various valleys, saying that they want to meet the commander alone and return the prisoners."

Liu Heima's complexion finally changed, showing some surprise.

"Return the prisoners?"

He murmured, turned and walked towards the col.

After a long time, there was an echo from the valley far away.

"Liu Heima... Ma... Ma... Ma... General Bai would like to see you alone..."

~~
Half a day later, Yang Ben walked through the valley alone.

He knew that Mengzu's sentry horse was watching him on the top of the mountain to ensure that the Song army did not chase him.

Finally, a few blind soldiers appeared in front of them, they stepped forward and grabbed Yang Ben, blindfolded him, and led him away for a long time.

When his eyes lit up, he saw Liu Heima sitting on the boulder.

"Another little bastard." Seeing that Yang Ben was young, Liu Heima smiled, and said, "You are not good at fighting, and you still can't catch me after so many days."

With Yang Ben's previous temperament, he would definitely be irritated by this sentence, but now he nodded and admitted it.

"Yes, you, Liu Heima, are old in battle, and I am not as good as you. But I am still young, and sooner or later I will be better at using troops than you."

Liu Heima laughed loudly and said, "I'll kill you with a knife today, let's see if it will be sooner or later."

Yang Ben said: "If you dare to kill me, my A-Lang will kill your two sons and one brother-in-law. Why don't you try?"

Liu Heima didn't take this threat seriously.

He came out of a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​blood, so he didn't need to go forward with a sword to scare Yang Ben, just sitting there would have a murderous aura in itself.

His two sentences were nothing more than trying to test Yang Ben's character, and when he tried it out, he didn't bother to care about it, and said carelessly: "Say, how about Li Xiayu?"

Yang Ben didn't answer, but asked instead: "How do you plan to report to Brother Meng after you have failed like this?"

Liu Heima understood it as soon as he heard it, and said: "He hopes that I will lie about the military situation, so as to prevent the Great Khan from sending troops to attack Chengdu again?"

Yang Ben grinned, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Liu Heima didn't reply right away, and murmured: "It seems that Li Xia is not willing to share the burden for the Chongqing government...he has selfish intentions. Boy, are you General Song or Li Xia's?"

"It's not that my family, Alang, doesn't want to share the burden, but that he is certain that Brother Meng will lose."

"Really?" Liu Heima said with emotion: "You know, there is no imperial court that treats military generals as kindly as the Great Mongolian Kingdom, divides the land into fiefdoms, hereditary officials, grants soldiers, grants power..."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"That's because you don't know Li Xia's purpose." Liu Heima said, "It's also because you have too few soldiers."

Yang Ben frowned, didn't bother to think, and said, "Just say whether you agree to A Lang's conditions."

Liu Heima thought for a moment, weighing the merits and demerits of this battle, and guessing Li Xia's purpose... Looking at Yang Ben's dead face again, he felt that it was boring to talk to this kid, and said bluntly: "If there are any other conditions, please bring them up together. Bar."

"You need to ask Lizhou to support the grain and grass."

"What did Li Xia give me?"

Yang Ben said: "We will not pursue again, and let Liu Yuanzhen go."

"Just release Yuan Zhen alone?" Liu Heima shook his head...

~~
"I understand."

Liu Yuanzhen turned his head, his red face was dripping with sweat.

He took a few breaths, looked at Liu Jinsuo, but said with a smile: "Li Xia wants to negotiate with my father, right? You have exposed your flaws, instead of repairing the city defense, you have overhauled the house instead. It seems that you think that Da Khan will not Then send a large army to attack Chengdu, why?"

Liu Jinsuo was about to whip the slaves who didn't work, but hearing the words aroused his curiosity.

He has always been very curious, so he couldn't help asking: "Why?"

Liu Yuanzhen said: "Right now you also need to rest and recuperate. Li Xia hopes to let my father lie about the military situation and conceal the defeat in Chengdu, is that right?"

As he spoke, he put down the heavy stones in his hands, pondered, and said: "For the time being, we will not engage in military action and watch the battle in Eastern Sichuan. This is a condition that is beneficial to both sides."

"Hahaha!" Liu Jinsuo laughed loudly and said, "Still using each other's troops? Use your mother, is your black horse father still using soldiers?"

Liu Yuanzhen was a little helpless, and it was tiring to explain the truth to such a reckless man.

"Although my father has no soldiers, he can stop Da Khan from sending troops for a while...even, he can give Li Xia food and grass."

"For food and grass?" Liu Jinsuo's eyes lit up.

"That's right." Liu Yuanzhen said, "The grain and grass transferred from Lizhou has only arrived in one batch, and we will transfer again later."

"Can you give it to us?"

"As long as it's settled."

Liu Jinsuo asked: "It's like we lost the battle with Liao and Jin and had to give money."

"This... is almost the same." Liu Yuanzhen said: "It is similar to the principle of Sui Gong. This time we are defeated, and we will pay tribute to Er Fang."

Liu Jinsuo suddenly realized, patted his head and said: "No wonder... I used to say that the imperial court always talks about peace, and how could the Liao and Jin agree to it. It turns out that after winning the battle, there are so many benefits in peace talks."

"That's right, war resources are wasted..."

Halfway through Liu Yuanzhen's speech, he saw Liu Jinsuo staring wide-eyed, obviously not understanding, so he changed to a more simple vernacular.

"In short, peace talks are more cost-effective than wars. If you and I have something to talk about, it's more cost-effective than continuing to fight. Do you understand?"

"Your grandpa can understand." Liu Jinsuo said: "But can the black horse boy really lie about the military situation? Hey, you have lost a lot in this battle. You have stripped your underwear and walked on the street with your buttocks. You can still hide it ?”

Liu Yuanzhen didn't mind the words "grandfather" and "children". He smiled and took Liu Jinsuo to walk a few steps.

The iron chain under his feet rattled, and he finally reached the shade of a tree. He breathed a sigh of relief and sat down slowly.

"Brother Liu, listen to me. There have been false reports of military affairs since ancient times. Let's not talk about it, just say that in the Song Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Huizong, Prime Minister Wang Fu once spent 200 million yuan to buy six empty cities from Jinren. Song Huizong reported victory."

Liu Jinsuo opened his mouth and said in surprise: "There is such a thing? You hozen, are you using words to deceive your grandfather?!"

"Hey, there are so many strange and bizarre things in the world." Liu Yuanzhen laughed and said, "I am a northerner who is bold and bold. Without so many crooked thoughts, I can't make up such things."

Liu Jinsuo was so shocked that he still couldn't believe it, and felt that it was fake no matter how he looked at it.

Liu Yuanzhen added: "Also, when the Song and Jin dynasties destroyed the Liao Dynasty, Tong Guan redeemed Yanjing and other empty cities with millions of coins, saying that 'the Great Song Dynasty has recovered Yanyun', so he was named the king of Guangyang County."

"Really?"

"It's true."

"Be good." Liu Jinsuo shook his head endlessly.

Liu Yuanzhen smiled again, and said: "Chengdu is now fighting, but there are only more than ten thousand troops, and it is a small fight. My father will be able to do it if he hides it and sweats a lot. If Li Xia has this intention, I can sincerely help."

"Hey, tell me, then what?"

Liu Yuanzhen rubbed his legs and murmured, "Wait for the news of the Eastern Sichuan War. If the Great Khan wins, Li Xia's only option is to surrender..."

"Fuck you!" Liu Jinsuo fell over with a slap and cursed, "You hozen."

"Brother Liu, don't be angry, just listen to me..."

Liu Yuanzhen was in his thirties, but he was well maintained, and he didn't look awkward in front of Liu Jinsuo, a rough guy in his twenties.

He avoided it, straightened his hair, and said, "I'm just talking about all kinds of possibilities, and this is one of them. If the Khan wins a big victory at that time, Li Xia is willing to surrender, and he only needs to return the captives. My father can guarantee his future for the rest of his life, and the two sides will be safe." .”

"Dog hozen, you still say it!"

"Besides, if the Great Khan is defeated." Liu Yuanzhen said calmly, "If the Great Khan is defeated, then everything will be as Li Xia wished. The battle in Chengdu will be nothing, and there will be an excuse for my father's defeat. In short, right now A truce is good for both sides."

"Hahahaha, your shit is sweating profusely, you must be defeated!"

"Oh? Brother Liu, why are you sure?"

"Because his butt is going to be stabbed! Haha, suddenly..." Liu Jinsuo stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, kicked Liu Yuanzhen hard, and cursed: "Dog hozen, are you a prisoner or grandpa?! Grandpa trial ?!"

Liu Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes, then laughed again, and said, "Having said so much, in a word, my father and Li Xia have an opportunity to negotiate, Brother Liu, don't beat me up, I'm worth a lot of money..."
