end song

Chapter 469
No one, including Li Xia, knew what had been changed by him.

Meng Ge's attack on Shu was advanced for more than half a year, so that the Mongolian army avoided the hot weather after the failure of the siege;
Lu Wende did not join in time...

These, on the contrary, put more pressure on the defense of Diaoyu City, making the already dangerous Diaoyu City even more precarious.

And Li Xia also made up for it.

Without his help, all the soldiers and civilians in Ma Junzhai might have died in battle.

Maybe after Wang Dechen captured the outer city, he would think that Wang Jian was at the end of his rope, so he went to the city alone to persuade him to surrender; maybe he would be crushed to death by cannon stones...

Maybe, maybe not, it doesn't matter, they have completely deviated from the original direction.

And the fate of Diaoyu City, Meng Ge's fate, and even the national destiny of Great Song and Great Mongolia have fallen into unknown.

I can only work hard to earn...

~~
When he first entered Diaoyu City, Li Xia was still observing the mountain city.

First, Zhang Jue took him to see Wang Jian.

"In the battle last night, General Wang was seriously injured. Although I haven't checked the general's injuries, as a man, if he was not seriously injured and fainted, he would never leave the battlefield."

Zhang Jue was 34 years old at the time, with a burly figure and a handsome appearance.

The year Yu Jie built Diaoyu City, Zhang Juecai had just been drafted into the army.

For more than fifteen years, except for going out with Yu Jie and Wang Jian, he spent the rest of his time in Diaoyu City.

Zhang Jue fought bravely, and he often took the lead in fighting. He also studied strategy with the Ran brothers, and he was good at both civil and military skills.

Seeing such a character, Li Xia couldn't help but think of the "Duo Liang General of the Great Song Dynasty" that he had talked about with Li Tingyu before.

Just imagine, if there were only Wang Jian and no Zhang Jue in Diaoyu City, the city would have been lost last night.

It is indeed extremely rare for the chief general and the deputy general to be able to plan and fight well.

"I hope General Wang's injury will improve, and fortunately, General Zhang can take over the command."

Li Xia's words were plain, but Zhang Jue could hear his sincerity, and said, "Fortunately, General Li led the reinforcements to arrive in time."

He was in a hurry to see Wang Jian, but he didn't forget to introduce the topography of Diaoyu City to Li Xia.

It can be seen that this is a very efficient person.

……

"That's the Great Tianchi."

After entering the inner city, Zhang Jue pointed to a large pond in the southwest of Majiazhai, and said, "General Wang led the army and the people to dig a ditch. The spring is vast and never dries up when there is a drought. You can use a boat to cast a net to catch fish in the pond." Turtle. There is also a small Tianchi in the city, as well as wells and ponds..."

Li Xia looked around, and saw that the big Tianchi was five hundred steps wide, and it was actually a lake on the top of a mountain.

"It seems that the water source will not be a problem."

"It's not just the source of water." Zhang Jue pointed to the fields at the foot of the mountains in the distance, and said, "The common people reclaim the fields in the mountains, and they go down the mountains in spring to rush to cultivate, and in autumn they transport grain up the mountains. The city stores a lot of grain and grass."

They walked through the rocky ground next to the Great Tianchi, and saw pounding pestles, stone mills, and wheel mills standing everywhere.

Although there was a big battle last night, there were still people grinding noodles in the rain, and everything was busy.

Li Xia also saw the gunpowder workshop.

Then came the treasury, the prison cell...

Climbed a cliff, reached the center of the mountain, crossed the horse racing track, bypassed the military camp and the Shizhao County Government Office, and then faintly saw the General's Mansion.

It took a long time to walk this way, and all the generals behind Li Xia couldn't help but secretly click their tongues on the size of the mountain top.

It doesn't look like a mountain, but it is basically a city that can accommodate 10 people.

~~
After entering the General's Mansion, a young general named "Zhao An" stepped forward and reported to Zhang Jue in a low voice.

"The general planned to see the general of the reinforcements, but he refused to retreat. The final general brought him back for treatment when he passed out."

"How's the injury?"

"It's heavy, but I've carried it." Zhao An said, "As soon as I woke up, I asked Village Master Luo, but I don't know how to answer..."

Zhang Jue sighed and led Li Xia inside.

The rest of the generals stayed outside and were entertained by Zhao An.

This place is said to be the General's Mansion, but it actually borrowed a courtyard from the Huguo Temple, and the furnishings are very simple.

Li Xia and Zhang Jue walked through the short corridor, and a doctor with bloody hands came out of the hall.

"General Zhang, look, they are all cut from General Wang..."

I saw that the doctor was holding a bunch of arrow clusters in his hand, and the blood was flowing down from between his fingers, which was shocking.

"Hey, General Zhang, please remind General Wang, he is the only one who is responsible for the army and civilians in the city, Wanmo will not take such risks again."

"How to persuade..."

Zhang Jue thanked the doctor, and entered the hall with Li Xia.

Wang Jian had already woken up, with no blood on his lips, he murmured: "Junyu is here...Majiazhai..."

"Majiazhai has been saved." Without mentioning Luo Wangshan, Zhang Jue quickly introduced Li Xia, and said, "This is Junlian Li Zhizhou, who was ordered by Pu Shuai to help."

"Li Xia and Li Feiyu have long admired General Wang."

Li Xia didn't meet each other with official etiquette, but the word "long admiration" was very sincere.

"I've heard about you...youthful spirit...repeatedly breaking Mengtar...OK, OK."

Wang Jian tried his best to get up, but the wound had already opened a little.

Zhang Jue hurriedly stepped forward to hold him down.

Wang Jian was seriously injured, but he still looked at Li Xia with a warm gaze.

This may be the difference between military commanders and civilian officials. For military commanders, life and death are unpredictable every day when they open their eyes, as long as they can kill the enemy side by side.It doesn't matter what faction you belong to and what backing you have.

"Last night...thank you very much. Diaoyu City...you are very kind."

"Don't dare to do it." Li Xia said.

Seeing that Wang Jian was so seriously injured, he didn't dare to say more.Just briefly mentioned the situation in Chongqing...

"In short, Pu Shuai did not give up on Diaoyu City, and Chongqing is not in danger for the time being. General Wang just rest assured. I still need to arrange troops and horses, and I will visit again next time."

But Wang Jian held them back and refused to let them go, and asked about the situation of the battle last night.

Zhang Jue had no choice but to report one by one, and finally said: "We have won a big victory. I will kill Wang Dechen and show his head to the general later."

With such a victory, it was rare for him to make a joke.

"It's a pity that it was smashed, the general couldn't see the face of this thieves."

Wang Jian tried his best to smile, and murmured: "How many years... finally killed this dog hozen."

After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth to analyze again: "Killing Wang Dechen...that is, cutting off the arm of the Lord Tartar...After that, it's time to demonstrate...depress his will..."

"Yes, the Mongolian army suffered such a big setback, and they will slow down their siege in the next few days, the general should rest at ease."

After Zhang Jue finished speaking, he wanted to leave with Li Xia again.

"Junyu...go to the Great Heavenly Lake...to catch a few fish...to give to Lord Tartar." Wang Jian kept them back again, muttering in his mouth.

Zhang Jue stopped, thought for a moment, and then realized, he replied, "I'll ask someone to make another hundred cakes and give them to him, how about it?"

"well."

Only then did Wang Jian feel relieved and lie down honestly.

"Let Junyu take care of the city's defenses... Feiyu, wait for me to recover from my wounds and retreat from the enemy... I will drink to thank you..."

~~
After meeting for a while, although there was little talk, Li Xia already admired Wang Jian somewhat.

Not only is it the perseverance to hold on despite serious injuries, but his wisdom is also extraordinary.

When Wang Dechen died, Meng Ge would be greatly shocked.Even if the commander-in-chief of attacking Shu can't conquer Diaoyu City with such a surprise attack, someone will inevitably suggest asking Brother Meng to besiege and not attack, and wait for Diaoyu City to run out of food.

At this time, throwing food and demonstrations in the city can severely damage the morale of Mongolia.

Although the matter is small, it can be seen that Wang Jian has a heart for the war.

If Brother Meng is dead, he can lead the soldiers of Diaoyu City to pursue the Mongolian army together, so why worry about Hanzhong disappearing?

This Great Song Dynasty is by no means without good generals or without combat power, the key is how to use it.

These, think far.

But in Li Xia's heart, she couldn't help but bury her expectations.He has only arrived in Diaoyu City not long ago, but his vision has begun to pass Meng Ge a little bit, and he can faintly see something farther away...
