Chapter 744 eager
At the beginning of May, Chengdu, beside the Fuhe River.

Supported by Li Zhaocheng, Liu Heima sat up on the bed.

His face was pale and black, and there seemed to be a kind of death in his eyes.

Dead air is not a real thing, but it can actually be seen through that layer of stiff, grayish color.

Raising his hand with difficulty, let Zhang Hongdao sit down opposite, Liu Heima slowly said: "Where did you talk last time... the Semu people on Chengdu Fulu, the Mongolian army occupied Chengdu back then."

"I've said it." Zhang Hongdao responded, "My nephew will arrange the people under his rule."

"Okay, okay, I told you about the water conservancy and farmland, right? There are too many disabled people in Chengdu, unable to farm, but they can do handicrafts. When the county king passed by at the end of last year, he discussed the management method with the old man. Tea horse trade, two things, Chengdu should produce famous products that are not inferior to those in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Sichuan fans, Shu brocade, Shu paper, Shu engravings, as well as new cotton spinning and wine making... Don’t think they are small things, but they are actually a way of prosperity .”

"Mr. Liu doesn't need to worry about these things. It's important to recover from illness." Zhang Hongdao responded, "Since my nephew is here to work in Chengdu, he must do well."

"We Beiren manage the local area. Mo lost to Zhang Jue. We are better than the previous two years."

After Liu Heima finished speaking to Zhang Hongdao, he turned his head to look at Li Zhaocheng again, and said, "A few days ago, Goro said that I was hypocritical... He thought I was asleep and said to you, 'I have killed people for a lifetime. Benevolence comes, Goro doesn't understand me."

"Fifth Brother is just speaking out of anger because you don't want to take a rest." Li Zhaocheng said: "The county king said that using Yue Weng to rule Chengdu is what he values ​​most because Yue Weng once saved tens of thousands of people in Henan. Benevolence."

"I know that my illness will never get better. Before I leave, I can work more on state affairs and die without regret... As for hypocrisy or not? We people are already extremely rich, so we want to leave a name in history, and also want to To protect the family, protect the country, and protect the world, this old man really wants a posthumous name..."

Zhang Hongdao didn't expect Liu Heima to have such a side. Even though he was both a prince in the past, he also thought Liu Heima was a rough general.

"Liu Gongyan is serious. You are ten years younger than my father. Rest for a while and recover from illness."

Halfway through the conversation, Zhang Hongdao turned his head to look and felt movement outside, and said again: "Brother Zhongju must be back, and my nephew is going to greet him."

Liu Dalang has rushed back, who really believes that he can recover from his illness?
~~
"Jun Wang, what are you thinking?" Liu Jinsuo approached Li Xia and waved his hand.

"I'm thinking about how many people's fate I have changed, and how much I have changed."

Liu Jinsuo was puzzled.

He had never been a follower of the Qingming Cangtian Sect. In his heart, he sometimes felt that Li Xia was pretending to be a ghost, and he always felt that believers like Hu Legen were stupid.

But at this time Li Xia was thinking about things very seriously, which made Liu Jinsuo feel a certain sense of mystery.

……

Recently, Li Xia had contact with Lu Wenhuan, and sent Liu Yuanzhen back to Chengdu to meet Liu Heima for the last time, and then to face the enemy Liu Zheng... He couldn't help wondering whether the fate of these people had changed because of him.

These famous generals were very famous in the world, but they are somewhat unknown in the history books. They are far less famous than Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Song Jiang, Fang La, or even Tong Guan, so Li Xia doesn't know them very well.

What he thought was that Lu Wenhuan must have failed to defend Xiangyang in the first place, so he wondered if he could defend Xiangyang this time?

As for Liu Heima, maybe he was defeated several times by himself, so he was seriously injured and died early?
It had only been two years since he returned to Shun, and Liu Heima had been in charge of Chengdu for more than a year. He died before enjoying the blessings of returning to Shun, and Li Xia felt a little guilty for him.

Thinking about it, it is time to build a great dynasty so that he can be more famous in history than before...

After a while, seeing brothers Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui walking back and forth behind Liu Jinsuo, Li Xia wondered what their fate should have been.
In fact, even though he has been crowned king, sometimes the things Li Xia thinks in his mind are so naive and stupid...

~~
Longmen Ferry.

Longmen Ferry, also known as "Yumen Ferry", is located in Hejin County, Hezhong Prefecture, Shanxi Province.

It is the first ferry crossing after the Yellow River passes through the Qin-Jin Grand Canyon, and it has been an important traffic pass between Shanxi and Shanxi since ancient times.

Longmen is a port where merchants gather and goods are collected and distributed. It connects to northern Shaanxi in the north, goes down to Tongguan, goes to Henan in the east, and goes to Guanzhong in the west. At its peak, there were thousands of ships passing by every day.

Of course, the Yellow River is different from the Yangtze River. The Yellow River is unlikely to be a barrier against northern cavalry because it is prone to freezing in midwinter. This is the case with Longmendu. In spring, summer, and autumn, boats can be used to ferry across the river. In midwinter, you can cross the river on ice... …

On the seventh day of May, Liu Zheng followed Ahema to the edge of the river, looked up, and saw the Qinjin Grand Canyon to the north, and the Hancheng area in Guanzhong to the west.

"The reason why the last general chose to train his sailors at Longmendu is because there is a Grand Canyon in the north, and the water flow is fast...and Lou Su, a general of the Kingdom of Jin, entered the pass from Longmendu on the ice and captured Hancheng, Heyang, etc. , so that the Kingdom of Jin annexed Guanzhong."

Liu Zheng raised his finger to point to the mountain, and finally said: "If we want to attack Guanzhong, we only need to wait until the depths of winter. By then, the Li Fen Rebellion has been settled, and the troops from all walks of life will be transferred back. They can cross the Yellow River on ice. Marshal A Shu entered Longxi and attacked from east and west, Guanzhong will definitely be captured..."

Hearing this, Ahema nodded endlessly.

He is a Hui, with a typical Hui appearance, black hair and dark eyes, deep eyes, high nose bridge, mustache flying upwards, and two braids hanging around his ears, making him look a bit cunning.

Ahema was originally the dowry slave of Empress Chabi, so he gained the trust of Kublai Khan.

Although he was nodding his head at this time, as if he agreed with Liu Zheng's strategy, he said afterward, "Marshal Liu is right, but what the Great Khan is most worried about is the traitor in the north, Brother Ali."

He can speak some Chinese, but his accent is weird.

Liu Zheng felt uncomfortable listening, but continued to listen patiently.

"Therefore, Marshal Liu is needed to train a navy. In this way, it is possible to capture Guanzhong before the cold winter."

"I understand." Liu Zheng nodded.

Ahema asked again: "Do you think it is really necessary to put down Li Fen's rebellion first, and then wait until the Yellow River freezes in midwinter?"

"The last general just thinks that is the best situation." Liu Zheng said: "But even with the current force and ships, if we forcefully cross the Yellow River, it is still possible to conquer Guanzhong. But Marshal Ashu and Yang Dayuan need to cooperate."

Ahema tugged at his beard and looked at Liu Zheng with bright eyes.

He is better at financial management, and he is still willing to reuse Liu Zheng's talent in the military.

And Ahema still had a battle report from Nanyang in his hand, so he didn't rush to take it out, but just said with a smile: "Then please tell Marshal Liu how we can defeat that cunning Li Xia."

Liu Zheng raised his hand and said, "There is a map on board, please..."

……

"Nowadays, Yang Dayuan is building a pontoon bridge in Mengmenjin, so that he can cross his troops into the Suide area at any time, and then go south to attack Yan'an Mansion. Yanzhou is known as 'the key of the Three Qin Dynasty, the throat of the five routes', and Li Xia arranged it here. There are not many troops. Once we capture it, it will pose a threat to Chang'an.

Marshal Ashu has taken over the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou, and has completed the reorganization with the elite cavalry that penetrated the Song Dynasty.The elite soldiers rush to ride, come and go like the wind, no one can stop them.This cavalry didn't even have to attack the city and plunder the village, they just had to go into Longxi, and then into the Guanzhong, and plundered non-stop, which would make Li Xia tired of coping.

And we can send troops and horses to cross the Yellow River from Longmen, and then cooperate with the navy. We can take Hancheng first, and then go to Heyang.Afterwards, they went all the way north to cooperate with Yang Dayuan, attacked back and forth, and captured Yan'an Mansion. At this time, the whole Guanzhong was in chaos.The Song army stationed along the Yellow River had to go back to defend against Yan'an Mansion and Marshal Ashu's cavalry.

Adding up the troops stationed in Chang'an, Weinan, Lantian, Shangzhou, and Wuguan, the Song army still has about [-] troops, which can allow the cities of Nanyang to attack Wuguan and contain these troops in Guanzhong.

In this way, our other group of soldiers and horses can cooperate with the navy to go down the Yellow River, first take Huayin, and then attack with Henan soldiers and horses from left to right, and then take Tongguan.Look, the door of Guanzhong is wide open, and you can get it at your fingertips. "

At the end of Liu's whole sentence, he patted the map, and his gestures seemed determined.

Ahema nodded in satisfaction, but then took out a few pieces of information and asked, "If the main force in Guanzhong is no longer there, is it more 'at your fingertips'?"

Liu Zheng took the information and looked at it for a while, but gradually frowned.

He stretched out his hand, and first pulled out a war game on the map, which was Dong Wenbing's [-] soldiers and horses in the east of Tongguan.

"This part of the force is missing."

Afterwards, he picked up a game of war that had just been placed in Liangzhou, and muttered again: "Has Marshal Ashu assembled his forces?"

"It's almost there." Ahema spread his arms and said, "You can trust him, Wuliangha Ashu, who is good at fighting."

Liu Zheng looked at Ahema for a while, and saw that he did not come up with accurate information, only this sentence.

"Well, wait for half a month and January, and there must be news from Marshal Ashu."

Ah He immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and removed the two red war chess placed on the bank of the Yellow River on the map, saying: "Zhang Jue, the main force of [-] people is gone."

Liu Zheng avoided his scorching gaze, looked down at the information delivered by Shi Tianze for a while, and finally said: "Zhang Jue dispatched [-] main forces to attack Nanyang... There are still troops stationed in various places in the pass, and Nanyang has no spare power to deal with Wuguan. It's a threat."

"Yes, Shi Shuai is in Nanyang, and he will attack Wuguan from Nanyang."

Ahema said, and put the war chess representing Dong Wenbing that Liu Zheng took away back on the map, and put it in the position of Nanyang.

"Our troops are not short, and we have 1 more troops from Shi Shuai."

Liu Zheng asked, "Won't Shi Shuai go to Shandong to suppress the rebellion?"

"His nephew died in the hands of Li Xia. He can capture Wuguan first, and then go to suppress the rebellion. It's too late."

"Is it in time?"

"It won't take a few days."

Ahema seemed a little excited, and said, "Does Marshal Liu think it's okay to take down Guanzhong?"

Liu Zheng knew why Ahema was so eager.

for money.

This is a Hui man who is very good at financial management, and he is very generous, much more generous than Jia Sidao and Lu Wende. Liu Zheng has also shared a lot of benefits recently.

"Okay, don't worry, Tanma will be back soon, let's find out where Zhang Jue's main force is..."
