Chapter 641

Chapter 641
Zhuge Liang said that Qishan Road is a "smooth road", which is only compared with other Shu roads.

The Qishan Road from Yangpingguan to Qishan is also full of high mountains and deep valleys in the Longnan Mountains and dangerous roads in the Qinling Mountains, so Li Xia set up an ambush here.

Going west and passing Qishan Mountain, the road will become wider.

"Qishan" refers to a mountain, more than three hundred miles west of Daya Mountain, and now east of Lidian, which is the later Li County.

Qishan is known as "the name of Kyushu, the most majestic in the world", strangling the throat of Shu and Long, and controlling the offensive and defensive key points.

Its mountains stretch for more than [-] miles, and the top of the central mountain is Qishan City, which is extremely fortified.

And three miles to the south of the city, there is another small mountain facing Qishan.

On May [-]th, Li Xia was already standing in front of Qishan Fort.

He ended the ambush of Wang Liangchen on May [-].And on May [-]th, once the road was opened, only [-] infantry were led westward on horseback.

Not cavalry, but infantry on horseback, one man and two riders.

The remaining [-] elites stayed on Qishan Road to drive the prisoners and clean up the battlefield for the time being.

They had to wait for the supply team from Yangping Pass and the militiamen from Hanzhong to take over before they could continue to follow up.

With more than [-] people captured, can the [-] elite or the militiamen who arrived later be held in custody?Li Xia was not worried.

The general is the courage of the soldiers. When the captured generals are picked out to kill or take care of them separately, the remaining soldiers are unarmed and tied into a bunch of labor. They have neither the heart nor the strength to fight back.

As for organizing the captives into soldiers and horses... Li Xia is not in a hurry, he has neither time nor anxiety.

After occupying Longxi, if they can occupy Longxi, the hometown of these captives will be classified as a territory under the rule, so that Li Xia can take them in with ease.

In addition, there are more than [-] Mongolian captives, so we need to pay more attention.

For the time being, it is nothing more than driving labor. There is Shi Jun in Hanzhong and Lu Xiufu on Qishan Road, which is enough to deal with it properly.Right now Li Xia has only selected a dozen or so Longxi captives as guides.

A surprise attack on Longxi is the top priority.

When dispatching troops, Li Xia thought more than once that Wang Liangchen's drive to Hanzhong was also the same mood he is now-knowing that the enemy's defense is empty, he made a decisive decision.

Of course, it is impossible for Wang Liangchen to use his life and [-] troops as bait. The information this time is true.

Li Xia was caught off guard.

In his initial plan, he also considered the possibility of Wang Liangchen sending troops, and made corresponding preparations for counterattacking Longxi, but he was more focused on Liu Heima.

Of course Longxi is better than Guanzhong.

Longxi has the potential to overlook Guanzhong from a high position, so Zhuge Liang took Longxi first in his first northern expedition.

The problem is, some can't be swallowed.

There are four Shu roads in the research, which are false and real, which can force Liu Heima to divide his troops to defend.Longxi is different, there is only one main road going straight to Gongchang.

The key to this battle is that the troops must be extremely fast, without giving the enemy time to react...

"Commander, the enemy army in the castle has been wiped out!"

Li Xia nodded, and strode into the gate of Qishan Fort.

Underfoot, puddles of blood were trampled on.

Walking along the winding path, twisting and turning, and walking up to the top of the mountain, he raised his binoculars and saw dozens of Mongol and Han troops galloping on horseback to the north, and behind them were two hundred Song army horse troops chasing them.

Turning the binocular, you can still see Liu Jinsuo clumsily patting the horse.

After that, the distance between the two groups of people was widened.

"Ming Jin, there is no need to chase."

Li Xia ordered: "Leave 200 people to guard Qishan Fort, and the rest follow me and set off immediately!"

The surprise attack on Qishan Fort went smoothly, but it was inevitable that when there were shouts of killing, the defenders on Qishan fled towards Qinzhou.

Qinzhou is Tianshui, which must pass through from Qishan to Gongchang.

This is the first time Li Xia encountered a problem.

In the past, he fought in Shu most of the time, and Gao Changshou also cooperated with him when he arrived in Dali. In the battle of recovering Hanzhong, the Mongolian army had the intention of retreating.

For these battlefields, he has at least topography and maps in his hands, and the cooperation of local forces.

This time, it was the real sense of entering the enemy's territory.

……

Riding the horse and leaving Qishan, the scene in front of him suddenly opened up.

It is no longer as staggered, high and sinister as the Qinling Mountains, and the mountains here have been much gentler.

But there are many mountains and peaks, and there is only one marching road, which winds along the wide river of Xihan River and leads to Tianshui.

"The front is prepared." Li Xia whispered to himself.

Looking back and looking around, the mountains and rivers are indeed the only way.

The surrounding fields are vast, and to the three thousand soldiers of the Song Dynasty, this place is completely unfamiliar.

Hanzhong has only been lost for more than 130 years, but Longxi has been lost for nearly [-] years...

~~
Gong Chang, the commander-in-chief's mansion.

On May 21, Wang Zhongchen sat in his study, spread out paper and ink, and prepared to write a reply to Lian Xixian.

The fact that Wang Liangchen sent troops to Hanzhong without authorization can no longer be concealed.

Today, Lian Xixian's Pegasus biography has arrived, bluntly saying that Li Xia did not send troops to Jingzhao Mansion, Hanzhong is by no means empty, and ordered Wang Zhongchen to send someone to remind Wang Liangchen immediately.

The wording of the letter is severe, as if a blow to the head.

Wang Zhongchen was deeply embarrassed.

Originally, according to Wang Liangchen's prediction, the siege of Jingzhao should not be lifted so soon, and his soldiers and horses should drive straight into Hanzhong.

And the current situation, perhaps just as Lian Xixian said, "may have fallen into Li Xia's plan to lure the enemy"...

The ink-stained elephant pen was just lifted, and Wang Zhongchen was about to write pen in thought.

"Report!"

A loud shout broke the tranquility in the commander's mansion.

With a flick of the pen, the ink fell on the newly spread letter paper.

Wang Zhongchen turned his head, already having a very bad premonition in his heart.

"Qinzhou Urgent Report! Qinzhou Urgent Report!"

……

After half an hour.

Wang Zhongchen has already written a reply letter and sent his horse to Jingzhao Mansion as soon as possible.

And the content of this reply letter is completely different from what he thought at the beginning.

It was no longer a perfunctory excuse, he had no choice but to immediately plead with Lian Xixian to send reinforcements to Longxi to help plead guilty to His Majesty.

I don't know what happened to Wang Liangchen, but it is true that Li Xia's three thousand troops have entered the country.

In addition, he has ordered his third brother Wang Zhichen to quickly lead [-] troops to Tianshui for support, block the wooden doorway, and guard against Li Xia; he ordered Gong Chang to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and close the city as soon as possible.

After doing this, he strode into the lobby.

"Uncle!"

"Big brother!"

After shouting, Wang Weizheng immediately asked, "Uncle, what's going on? Where did the Song Army come from?!"

"Where did the Song army come from? Besides Hanzhong, how can there be a Song army!"

Wang Hanchen couldn't believe it, and said in surprise: "The fourth brother led an army into Qishan Road, how can we let the Song army enter?"

Wang Zhongchen's face was extremely ugly, and he glanced at Wang Weizheng first, knowing that this is not the time to care about the face of the young commander-in-chief Gong Chang, he did his part to preside over the crisis.

He walked up to the map, glanced at it twice, and opened his mouth in deep thought.

Wang Zhongchen spoke very slowly, everything was too sudden, and he had to think.

"There are two possibilities. One, Li Xia had a plan long ago. He hid his troops in Yinping Road, and when his fourth brother led the army into Qishan Road, he would turn out of Yinping Road..."

"How can there be Yinping Road?!"

Wang Weizheng didn't believe it at all, strode forward and pointed, and said: "Since Deng Ai sneaked across Yinping Road, no one has marched here again. The road is deserted, and Motianling is vast, and there is no way to go!"

"Deng Ai can leave, why can't Li Xia leave?!"

Wang Zhongchen also suddenly became excited and roared.

However, after roaring, he closed his eyes and shook his head.

He really hoped that Li Xia came from Yinping Road.

This at least shows that Wang Liangchen did not meet Li Xia.

However, this is impossible. If Li Xia can calculate the time when Wang Liangchen's soldiers entered Qishan Road, why bother to go to Yinping Road?Hanzhong do not want it?
If Li Xia can figure it out, the best way is to ambush.

The question is... an ambush, why didn't anyone report back?
Annihilated?
It's impossible!

How could the [-] army be wiped out? !
Do not believe.

but……

There are no two possibilities, Wang Liangchen entered Qishan Road, Li Xia left Qishan Road, they meet on a narrow road, there is only one possibility from beginning to end.

"Uncle!"

Wang Weizheng yelled again: "Uncle Hugh will treat you like a fool again! What happened?!"

Since returning to Gongchang, Wang Weizheng has been doing very well.

He respected the uncle who gave up the position of commander-in-chief to his father, and also respected the fourth uncle who was brave and brave.

Together with his uncles and brothers at home, he defeated Huntuhai.

Only at this time, hearing that name again would make him lose his composure.

Li Xia.

Li Xia who killed his father and seized Lizhou...

"Uncle, tell me! Where did Li Xia come from?!"

"Snapped!"

Wang Zhongchen slapped Wang Weizheng on the face.

"Where did it come from?! I have advised you a long time ago! Don't send troops! Don't send troops!"

Wang Weizheng turned his head, and the corner of his mouth was already bleeding.

He really wanted to say, "But uncle, you didn't expect this to be the case."

He opened his mouth, but dared not speak out.

He knew very clearly in his heart that this slap was not wronged.

A month ago, it was here that he asked Wang Zhongchen not to persuade him in the name of the commander-in-chief, and wanted to recover Hanzhong and Lizhou.

high spirited...

~~
a long time.

It was Wang Zhongchen who spoke first.

"Calm down, I don't know the news because there is no battle report from the fourth brother. The first thing we have to face is Li Xia's offensive..."

"Big Brother." Wang Hanchen murmured, "Fourth Brother..."

"Shut up! Don't speak until I finish."

As Wang Zhongchen said, he picked up three war chess pieces, thought about it, and grabbed another handful.

He moved slowly and seemed a little stiff.

He was only 41 years old at the time, and he used to be easy-going and graceful, but today he seemed to have aged a lot suddenly, and his face was extremely ugly.

"Li Xia has already taken Qishan Fort, and his strength is unknown, but the soldiers who have escaped assert that there are at least 3000 pioneers."

Three wargames were slowly placed on the map.

Wang Zhongchen continued: "Follow-up, he must have troops to follow up. According to the information sent by the Liu family earlier, there are at least [-] elites. However, if he has ever had a battle with his fourth brother, there must be losses. His troops... ...don't know."

A few more troops were deployed.

Wang Zhongchen thought it over and over again, and in the end he filled ten pieces.

"Li Xia goes up the wooden doorway and will go to Qinzhou first. Qinzhou has 2000 troops stationed there. I have sent my third brother to reinforce it. I hope to defeat Li Xia in this battle. And we must be prepared for Qinzhou to fall... "

I don't know how long it took.

As the sky darkened, someone lit a candle.

Wang Zhongchen stopped his narration, and set up a war game.

There are ten red ones and not many black ones.

In a decisive battle in Lintao, the remaining 4000 troops of the Wang family had only [-] fighters, and [-] people were left in Lintao to guard the prisoners, waiting for His Majesty to send a clan to appease and surrender.

Only 4000 people returned to Gongchang for rest, and [-] people have been transferred away.

Of course, there are still garrisons in the states and counties, but they could not be mobilized before the decisive battle in Hundu Hai, and they cannot be mobilized now.

"Li Xia is not strong enough to attack the prefectures and counties. If he wants to take Longxi, he can only attack Gongchang by surprise. Fortunately, we got the news early that the city of Qinzhou is strong and the wooden gates are easy to defend. Xiang Liu..."

"There are not only wooden doorways."

Wang Hanchen suddenly interrupted and walked to the map.

Wang Zhongchen turned his head to look at the map and squinted his eyes.

Wang Hanchen raised his hand and pointed, and said, "There is also Luo Mendao."

"Luo Mendao?"

"That's right, follow the Yanzi River and go up the valley to Yacheng, pass Mushu Pass, climb over Jiepai Mountain, and cross the watershed of the river to reach Luomen. In this way, Qinzhou is bypassed."

Wang Zhongchen closed his eyes and sighed, and murmured: "Li Xia must seize time if he wants to attack Gongchang. They have horses, one person rides two, and the wooden doorway is the fastest. It is impossible to dig the road slowly. You can trap him to death."

Everyone in the hall was sad when they heard "one man, two riders".

Wang Liangchen's eldest son, Wang Weiqin, finally cried out.

Wang Zhongchen acted as if he hadn't heard it, and said again: "Besides, Luo Mendao hasn't marched for a hundred years, can we go?"

"It's almost impossible to go."

"That's it, even I almost forgot about Luo Mendao, an enemy from afar..."

Before the words fell, a whistle sounded from afar.

Everyone in the hall suddenly turned their heads.

Faintly, it seemed to hear some noise in the city.

Wang Hanchen strode out, walked through the huge commander-in-chief's mansion, and stood on the stone steps outside the door.

He finally heard someone shouting.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
