Chapter 760 Hu and Han

Li Zengbo was 64 years old at the time, and he had worked hard on the three fronts all his life, and he was very old.

He stood there wearing armor, not as if the armor was hanging on his body, but rather as if the armor was supporting his thin body.

The reason why people feel this way is probably because the skin on his neck is too shriveled, like a dead branch.

He wears a knife at his waist, and he unconsciously holds the knife in front of him when he stands.

On Gong Changcheng's head, the coach is so old.

twilight...

And across the Weishui River to the east is Ashu's army.

More than [-] cavalry, each with three to five horses.

In front of the army formation, more than [-] civilians were driven and captured.

The resulting momentum is better than a hundred thousand troops.

The dust and smoke raised by the horseshoes filled the air, and the sounds of neighing, crying, singing, horns, laughter... clamored in the world.

The commander of this army, A Shu, is still very young and sharp.

His beard is very messy, the roots are like iron, giving people a very irritable feeling.

But his eyebrows are high, and he has a sense of prey, and there is always a murderous look in his eyes.

He is tall and strong, like armor can not cover his muscles.

Powerful, irritable, vicious, with the exuberant and casual temperament unique to young people.

That's him, who was able to attack Gongchang City like this.

From Liangzhou to Lingtai, it takes more than [-] miles; from Lingtai, it turns back, crosses the Guanshan Gorge Road, and goes straight to Gongchang, which is another [-] miles.

A Shu went far beyond the [-] miles he marched, he walked around twice as far.In the end, it only took half a month to travel hundreds of miles on dangerous roads.

No one can guard against him.

Now, with such confidence, he looked up at Gong Changcheng and grinned.

"The city is old, and the walls are not strong. Send an order! Take the exorcists to the upper reaches of the Wei River, dig the river, and fill the city."

Tie Bilie hurried forward and asked, "It's too slow to fill the city..."

A Shu kicked the horse's belly, stepped forward and whipped a whip heavily on a prisoner who was setting up a tent, until he fell to the ground and convulsed.

"It's noisy."

"puff."

There was a soldier who hacked the exorcist to death with a single knife.

Blood spattered on Ashu's boots, he didn't care at all, turned to Teblai Khan, laughed loudly and said, "I can beat him however I want."

Tie Bilie was a little afraid of him.

But thinking that he is a descendant of the Golden Family, the son of Prince Liang, he still laughed.

A Shuce went immediately, leaned over, took Tie Bilie's shoulders on the horse's back, and reminded bluntly: "You can say anything in private, but don't talk too much when I give orders, okay?"

Tie Blail turned pale.

"well……"

Only then did Ashu laugh out loud, and shouted: "Pass the order down!"

Soon, the Mongolian army began to drive some of them to work in the upper reaches of the Weihe River.

……

Li Bing was already very tired.

He has been able to endure hardships since he was a child, but he never thought that he could walk to Gongchang City step by step in such a short period of time.

The Mongolian army behind him doesn't care whether he is tired or hungry, but whoever dares not to leave... Death is very simple, he is beaten to pieces by the whip, dragged behind the horse until he is bloody and bloody, he cannot live or die, but it is not good.

What Li Bing had to do was to dig a canal on the west bank of the Weihe River, and then draw the Weishui out and pour it into Gongchang City.

There are hoes. When the Mongolian army captured them, they were obviously planning to use them to attack the city and confiscated all the iron tools.

Li Bing's hand holding the hoe was shaking.

He was exhausted and dizzy from hunger.

Only then was he dazed, a whip had already been whipped on his back, the pain was hot.

Li Bing wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to make a sound, so he hugged himself tightly, twitching every time he was whipped.

Suddenly, several Mongolian words sounded, and the whip stopped.

Li Bing removed the hand holding his head, looked up, and saw the whip-wielding soldier slapping and cursing a middle-aged man who was nodding and bowing.

Afterwards, the Mongolian soldier spat out a mouthful of phlegm, which landed on Li Bing's ear, and he walked away cursing.

There was a buzzing in his ears, with the stench of other people's saliva, Li Bing felt strangely uncomfortable.

It was uncomfortable but insignificant, there were more wounds on his body, more blood around him, and the smell of incontinence and filth when people died everywhere.

Compared to the pain of family ruin and death, having one ear blocked with saliva is really nothing...

The middle-aged man who helped Li Bing today was named Feng Liangzai.

Feng Liangzai's ancestor was from Shatuo, he had studied, and he claimed to have worked for the great prince Wang's family.

Probably a small accountant, doing some errands like collecting Wuhusi, so he can speak a few Mongolian.

"The people of Song Dynasty really made us miserable."

At night, Feng Liangzai was the only one among the group of prisoners who dared to speak and had the strength to speak.

He sat on Li Bing's left side, and said: "Now I understand, General Manager Wang has protected our people in Longxi for decades. If the Song people hadn't invaded Longxi, such a thing would not have happened..."

There was a buzzing in Li Bing's left ear. He tilted his head to listen to Feng Liangzai's words, but he could hear clearly.

"Brother, you weren't born when Jin died, right? The second prince's army came, and Commander Wang personally interceded with the second prince to save the [-] people in Gongchang Mansion..."

While Feng Liangzai was talking, Li Bing also became sad.

He suddenly also hoped that there would be another person like General Manager Wang who could talk to the Mongolian army and protect his family.

"Song people want credit, and they won't save our lives like Commander Wang. The commander had no choice but to conscript us to attack the city..."

"Requisition?" Li Bing opened his mouth at this time, muttering: "My mother...my mother..."

Feng Liangzai patted him on the shoulder and said, "In war, death is inevitable, but you have to live well."

He raised his hand as a gesture, and gathered the prisoners around him.

"Listen to me, big guy. I can talk to big guy. Today, we people get more food than others, right? Tomorrow, big guy, work hard, and I will protect big guy.

Commander Wang's decades of credit for protecting the people were ruined by the Song people.At this time, even though I am in trouble, I will definitely protect you..."

~~
At the same time, Luoyang Mansion.

"In the current situation, what our generation of Han people should do is to protect the environment and the people, and take care of the people. What about Li Fen? Forget about the public because of personal interests, damn it."

Dong Wenbing was talking with an official from Yanjing, and his tone gradually became angry.

"How many years of painstaking efforts have prompted your Majesty to adopt the Han system! If Li Fen and Wang Wen unify their own selfishness and make your Majesty jealous of the Han people, 30 years of meritorious service will be destroyed because of this, and there is a heinous crime!"

Guo Hongjing hurriedly bowed his hands and said yes.

Just now he mentioned the matter of Yanjing, and when he mentioned that after Wang Wentong's death, Kublai Khan seemed to have started to get close to the Mongolian and Semu ministers, Dong Wenbing suddenly became excited.

It can be seen from this that this economic envoy and head of ten thousand households is dedicated to the people and to Han and France.

As for Wang Wentong's death... Guo Hongjing heard his elder brother say "there may be something hidden in this matter", but he didn't know what it was.

On the bright side, His Majesty knew that Wang Wentong had helped Li Fen in his rebellion, so he still reused him and entrusted him with state affairs.

Wang Wentong received this great kindness, he should have abandoned Li Fen, put the Han system as the most important thing, and repaid His Majesty's great kindness...but it was the opposite.

The Hanchens have nothing to say.

Because it was Wang Wentong who was wrong, because of emotion, reason, and law, Wang Wentong was completely wrong, and His Majesty is beyond reproach.

Dong Wenbing scolded and scolded, but he could only scold Li Fen and Wang Wentong.

Guo Hongjing listened silently, not talking much.

He just came to Henan Road as an official...

This year, Kublai Khan finally got the support of the Mongolian Zongwang who was entrusted in the old Xixia land, and began to order Zhang Wenqian to govern the old Xixia land, focusing on persuading farming, mulberry and water conservancy.

Not long ago, Guo Shoujing was promoted to deputy Hequ envoy, and he followed Tuoyan to inspect Hequ in the hometown of Xixia.

Dong Wenbing, the commander in chief of Qiangu in the Central Plains, naturally understands what this is for.

To continue the northern conquest of Ali Buge, to pacify the Li Fen Rebellion, to attack Li Xia and take back Sichuan and Shaanxi, money and food are needed everywhere.

On the money side...Dong Wenbing knew that his majesty was extremely rich.

The gold, silver and jewels of the whole world have been flowing to Hara and Lin for more than five or sixty years.

Of course, Dong Wenbing didn't know how much money his Majesty had, but the Golden Family definitely lived up to its name.

Food is the most important aspect.

Guo Hongjing was sent to lift the river canal of Henan Road.

Dong Wenbing was very interested in water conservancy and farmland, so he talked with him personally at night.

After talking about Li Fen, let's talk about Li Xia.

"Guanzhong must be regained." Dong Wenbing sighed: "Brother Ling went to Xixia to control water conservancy, and if you are a civil servant, you will come to Henan. The one in the middle is Li Xia."

Guo Hongjing replied: "Although I don't know military strategy, I do know that Guanzhong is very important to Henan in terms of water conservancy."

He was only 21 years old at the time, he didn't talk much, and his posture was always rigid.

Dong Wenbing obviously admires Guo Hongjing very much and is willing to talk more with him.

"That's right, as long as Li Fen is pacified in the east and Li Xia is destroyed in the west, peace can be restored in Henan, and you and I can manage well and benefit the people."

Guo Hongjing was deeply touched.

Although he has only just arrived in Luoyang Mansion, he has already begun to admire himself as a superior official.

~~
Tongguan.

He Tai strode onto the warship and led the soldiers under his command to prepare for the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

The warship was confiscated by the Song army at Xiayangdu, and it belonged to these soldiers.

The difference is that they were originally working for Liu Zheng and Mongolia, but now they are working for Li Xia.

The Yellow River is surging, and life and death are uncertain this time, and some soldiers are inevitably muttering.

"Commander, we just surrendered, how could we do such a risky thing?"

He Tai didn't answer right away, but raised his head and looked at Li Xia at the top of Tongguan City.

Fighting to the death for Li Xia, can it be done?
Of course it can't be done, so why die for others.

~~
Li Xia watched the ships of the enemy battalion on Tongguan.

These soldiers never fought tough battles under Liu Zheng's command. They escaped the battle of Jiantandu, the battle of Beiluoshui, and the battle of Gaoling County. They surrendered to Mongolia first, and then Li Xia.

The salary that he Li Xia can give them today can also be given by the Mongols.

The army no longer seemed to be trustworthy.

There is only one thing that the Mongols can't give.

He, Li Xia, wanted to conquer the world, not by making allowances for the Mongols to lead the way and kill his compatriots to promote unification, nor by giving up half of the population and land to settle down in one corner.

It is the world shared by everyone in the south and north.

Li Xia really cared about this.

This is the root of what he does, the difference between him and Mongolia and Song Dynasty, and the only place where he can be stronger than Mongolia and Song Dynasty.

If he didn't care, why did he do this?You can spend your whole life comfortably in Yanjing and Lin'an.

Of course, this is just Li Xia's personal belief, and it doesn't represent everyone in the world.

Some people don't care about these, such as Liu Zheng.

What is the attitude of the soldiers who defeated the enemy camp?

Li Xia is not completely sure yet.

too little time.

But he has no time to build up faith for them anymore, he has to counterattack Jindouguan.

Is the enemy camp gold or stone?You will know when the fire burns.

……

The horn sounded.

At the same time as the navy set off, Li Xia also dismounted from the city, got on his horse, and led his troops to attack Jindou Pass by land.

Liu Zheng didn't care, and the enemy camp was uncertain, while Dong Wenyong and others at Jindouguan did not agree with Li Xia.

Dong Wenyong and others believe that the Mongols can also govern the world well.

The thing to do is to help the Mongols.

Because the Mongols are strong.

Li Xia had to ask.

"Who is stronger?"
