Chapter 544 The Trend of Guanzhong (addition 511 for the silver lord "niema")

"Baby's father... let's go! Take the baby away..."

Before Hao Erfu closed his eyes, he saw the scene of his mother-in-law rushing into the flames again.

He shuddered and woke up suddenly again.

He had been running around without sleep for two days and two nights, and he just hid in the woods for a while.

Unable to squint, he knew that his two legs could not outrun a Mongolian on horseback, and fear forced him to continue running.

I was so tired and had a severe headache, the blisters on my feet had rotted, and every step I took was excruciatingly painful.

But Hao Erfu continued to flee for his life with his six-year-old son Hao Gouer on his back.

"Father... hungry..."

Hao Erfu licked his blistered lips, not knowing where to find food for his son.

Originally, he had a few acres of Susukida, and he would be able to harvest it in three or two months... The government, maybe the government, could leave him enough rations anyway.

The Mongolian rule is not much different from the rule of the Jin Kingdom, and even better than the Jin Kingdom in recent years.Hao Erfu also heard from his uncle in the clan.

But now, the fields have been destroyed and the house is gone. I really don't know where to find food.

Hao Erfu felt that he would walk like this until he died of exhaustion.

He was only afraid that his son would be eaten by hungry refugees...

Sudden.

He tripped over something and fell to the ground with his son on his back thrown far away.

The father and son got up and turned their heads to look, but they saw a person lying on the ground.

Trembling, Hao Erfu stretched out his hand and pushed the opponent.

"Big brother? Big brother?"

The man didn't answer, as if he was dead.

Hao Erfu thought for a while, then reached out and touched his arms.

It doesn't matter if you touch it, you can find a lot of things, a small package of dry food, a few bottles, a wooden sign...

Hao Erfu couldn't understand what was written on the wooden sign, so he hurriedly fed dry food to Hao Gou'er, searched again, and found a water bag on the man's waist.

"Keep it, we'll eat on the way."

There was finally something in his stomach, and Hao Erfu was about to lead Hao Gou'er away when he suddenly heard a moan behind him.

"Save...save..."

~~
"Where is the elder brother from?"

Half a day later, Hao Erfu took a medicine jar and applied medicine to the injured man's back, and asked.

"The amount is from Jingyuan, He Shun."

"Brother's accent is not like that of Jingyang."

He Shun breathed in pain, and asked, "Why doesn't your accent look like a person from Jingyuan?"

"I can't tell." Hao Erfu replied, "Brother He was shot by the Mongols, right? It's not easy to escape."

"Yes."

"Brother... Where are you going to escape? Can you take us... that, I ate your dry food... I want to repay big brother..."

He Shun thought for a while and said, "Mount Zhongnan, Quanzhen Sect."

"Really?" Hao Erfu hurriedly asked: "Xianguan is willing to accept us? No... Can the eldest brother bring us? Even if you just bring the baby, it will be... a dog, kowtow to benefactor."

Hao Gou'er kowtowed when he said kowtow, and quickly knelt on the ground and thumped twice.

He Shun put on his clothes, turned his head to look at the father and son, thought for a while, and said, "That's fine, I'll take you with me, but there is one condition..."

"Brother said, I can do anything."

"I met other refugees on the road, and I greeted them to walk with us... Let's go together. This man is kind and wants to save more people."

Hao Gou'er was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Then that...the food..."

He Shun was quite proud and said: "Enough."

……

Two days later, more than thirty refugees walked slowly in the wilderness.

Hao Erfu was quite surprised that He Shun actually dug up a bag of dry food in one place.

After walking for another two days, they had more than [-] people, and the Qinling Mountains were gradually unfolding in front of them.

"Is that Zhongnan Mountain?!"

"You are from Weinan, but you are from Jingyang, ask me." He Shun snorted and walked forward again.

There was a canyon ahead, and he went straight into the canyon.

All the refugees looked up and saw a few Taoist priests standing on the cliff. They were overjoyed and hurried to follow.

But after walking for a while, he suddenly saw a group of soldiers coming up to him.

"It's Song Jun!"

"Run away! It's Song Jun... run for your life!"

Hao Erfu was also terrified, picked up Hao Gou'er and wanted to escape, but he saw smoke and dust rising from the canyon, and a group of Song Army cavalry had already blocked him.

"Haha...you don't even recognize Meridian Road, you're surrounded by foreheads..."

"He Shun! Don't mess around, don't scare the folks!"

~~
Meridian Pass.

"Mr. Yang."

"Mr. Yang."

It was almost July, and the weather was getting hotter. Yang Guo came all the way, and the dust on his face was washed away by sweat along the wrinkles on his face.

He took eight of his family's children into the city tower and immediately looked towards the north.

"Lin Tongzhi, Yang Shoujiang, Wan Mo is more polite, what's the matter?"

Lin Zidao: "More than [-] refugees have been resettled in Ziwu Town in the north. They just need to be screened and sent to Hanzhong for resettlement."

Yang Guo shook his head.

"It's too slow, too slow, this is still too slow, we need to spread the news, teach the refugees to pass it on by word of mouth, and vote spontaneously... In this way, the old man will go to Ziwu Town to learn about the military disasters in various places in Guanzhong, Make arrangements."

Yang Ben said: "But in case there are elaborate operations, it's too dangerous."

"It's okay, it's okay." Yang Guo stood up and said, "I don't believe it. At this time, my old Mongolian friends are still in the mood to make arrangements..."

~~
As Yang Guo said, the princes and civil servants in Shaanxi and Henan are in chaos.

Kublai Khan's Lian Xixian and Shang Ting, who were staying in Jingzhao Mansion, sent several letters to Kaifeng in a day, asking Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou to lead the troops to support and resist the offensive of Asuotai.

On June [-]th, Zhang Rou went to Kaifeng in person to discuss with Shi Tianze about dispatching troops.

Just arrived at the foot of Kaifeng city, I saw the big flag waving on the top of the city, after that, a group of people came out of the city gate to meet them.

Zhang Rou ran to take a closer look, but saw that it was not Shi Tianze, but Zhang Wenqian.

"Zhang Shuai has worked hard all the way, you and I can talk in private, okay?"

Zhang Wenqian saluted, with an inexplicable look on his face.

With a thought in Zhang Rou's mind, she already felt a little uneasy.

The two then avoided their personal accompaniment and walked to the top of the city.

Zhang Wenqian paced around without opening his mouth.

In the end, it was Zhang Rou who spoke first: "The battle in Shaanxi..."

"The King of Monan has already found out, Zhang Shuai needn't panic." Zhang Wenqian said: "Brother Ali took the lead, it is indeed unstoppable, but Shi Shuai has sent troops to strangle Tongguan, so that the flames of war will not spread to Henan for the time being. As long as we hold on, With the wealth of the Han land, we will surely win sooner or later."

"Brother Runpu sent troops?" Zhang Rou was surprised and said, "But King Monan ordered me to go to Kaifeng to discuss with him."

"It's me." Zhang Wenqian said, "Before Zhang Shuai sent troops, I was the one who wanted to ask Zhang Shuai something."

Zhang Rou's eyes flickered, as if she had a premonition of something.

"It's about the war."

"No, it's about selfishness." Zhang Wenqian paused slightly, and asked, "Does Zhang Shuai remember that I had guessed about Li Xia when I was outside Ezhou City?"

"Can not remember."

"But I've already found out." Zhang Wenqian reminded word by word: "Li Xia, Yang Guo, Wang Luo, Wang Wentong, Li Wei, your son Zhang Hongdao, and... Eri Dunbari."

Zhang Rou turned her head slowly, her neck seemed stiff.

He didn't expect that Zhang Wenqian would investigate everything thoroughly so quickly.

It's ridiculous that Zhang Hongdao tried his best to cover it up, but Zhang Wenqian exposed it so lightly and delicately.

"Caizhou, Bozhou, Kaifeng, Weishan..."

"You tricked me into going to Kaifeng alone, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Rou suddenly became vigilant, her hand was already clenched on the handle of the knife.

"I'm a literati." Zhang Wenqian suddenly reminded in a low voice, before he said: "One more thing, I heard that Li Xia proposed marriage to Ling Ai?"

Zhang Rou was taken aback again.

He and Zhang Wenqian looked at each other and were silent for a long time.

When he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse.

"Zhongqian, you and I...how many years have we been friends?"

"De Gang, listen to me, I won't harm you, but you must personally apologize to King Monan."

Zhang Wenqian's eyes were calm, but his tone was unquestionable.

a long time.

Zhang Rou closed her eyes, pulled off the saber from her waist, picked it up with both hands, and slowly raised it in front of Zhang Wenqian.

"Please Zhongqian tell the king of Monan...the minister is guilty, please only protect the minister's family."

Zhang Wenqian breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to take a look.

In the distance, several Mongolian soldiers were standing on the top of the city looking at this side.

Seeing Zhang Rou's movements, they turned around casually.

……

"Nothing can be hidden from the eyes of Monan King." Zhang Wenqian said: "We... I, Yao Shu, Zhao Bi, Hao Jing, everyone in Jinlianchuan Shogunate are the eyes of Monan King, You should have known it from the beginning, you can't hide it."

Zhang Rou lowered her head.

He was not afraid of Zhang Wenqian at all, he could split this literati in half with a single knife.

But Zhang Wenqian said these words on behalf of the people behind them.

This person did not come in person, but already brought a terrible sense of oppression.

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

"My Goro shouldn't have killed Eridunbari..."

"No." Zhang Wenqian sighed, "You are wrong... you underestimated King Monan's heart, you don't trust King Monan enough."

Zhang Rou opened her mouth, but made no sound.

Zhang Wenqian took a step forward, pressed the knife in Zhang Rou's hand, and said in a low voice, "Before King Monan ascended the throne, I went to Kaiping in person and confessed everything to him, understand?"

"The matter of the little girl..."

"Agree to Li Xia's marriage proposal." Zhang Wenqian said, "This is also the meaning of King Monan."

Zhang Rou was taken aback.

He raised his eyes suddenly, full of disbelief.

"You reply to Li Xia, you promise to marry your daughter to him." Zhang Wenqian said: "Let him lead Hanzhong to surrender, and when King Monan ascends the throne, he will be named King of Hanzhong."

"But the great sweat died in Li Xia..."

"No, the Great Khan is not acclimatized to death. All the words to slander the Great Khan are the conspiracy of Brother Ali Bak."

"Even so, Li Xia may not..."

"Don't worry about Li Xia." Zhang Wenqian said: "You just need to remember the magnanimity of King Monan, he will be the emperor of Zhongzhou. Brother Ali is a barbarian. This battle is a battle between the Central Plains Dynasty and the barbarians. Han people, where to go, is self-evident."

Zhang Wenqian said word by word: "Whether Li Xiatong agrees to this condition or not, we want everyone in the world to understand King Monan's grand ambitions, do you understand?"

Zhang Rou understood.

Now that Jingzhao Mansion is under attack from both sides, Hanzhong is urgently needed for backing.

For example, if Wang Zhongchen and Liu Heima are defeated, at least they can retreat to Hanzhong to preserve their strength...

In other words, King Monan urgently needs Li Xia to join him.

If Li Xia refuses, and the news spreads, Zhao Song will kill Li Xia... Emperor Zhao Song does not have the heart of King Monan.

Li Xia had a plan, and revealed the news to Brother Ali, which led to the situation in Guanzhong today; he passed the letter of appointment to Zhang Rou, and wanted to marry his daughter by force.

But now, King Monan only had one word to say, and he wanted Li Xia to shoot himself in the foot.
