Chapter 799 Good at sneak attack
Fenyang Ferry is not in Fenyang County, but at the estuary where the Fen River flows into the Yellow River, on the east bank of the Yellow River, between Longmen Ferry and Wuwang Ferry.

And to the east of Fenyangdu is Rongzhou.

Shi Tianze has led a team of personal guards to settle in Rongzhou City quietly, taking the time to drink with He Bichi.

"Hejin County, Longmendu, Ronghe Town, Fenyangdu, Zhangying, Jiamakou... But all the suspicious princes in the army have received different news. It just depends on where Li Xia has sneaked in these few days."

"Why was Shi Xianggong so sure that Li Xia would sneak attack?" Hebi Chidao said, "We have an army of [-], and we can easily end this battle by entering Guanzhong. The Great Khan is still in a hurry to conquer Brother Alibu."

Shi Tianze smiled and said: "There is a saying in the Han people called 'haste makes waste', which means that if you want to be fast, you will make trouble, just like riding a horse in a hurry and often fall off the horse. Li Xia is very good at using tripping ropes, Liu Zhenghe Ashu just ran too fast, and he tripped over his horse."

Mongolian lacks many idioms and allusions, and only using such metaphors can make it easier for people to understand.

Sure enough, after one sentence, He Bichi understood the situation, knew that Shi Tianze was safe in fighting and valued Li Xia.

"Back then Xian Khan led an army of [-] to attack Shu." Shi Tianze carefully chose his words, and said slowly: "Li Xia also defeated us by sneak attack."

He remembered very clearly that Li Xia first attacked Shi Shu, then disguised as Shi Ji, walked through the encirclement of the Mongolian army, attacked Wang Dechen, and finally attacked the Mongolian army camp.

The Battle of Diaoyu City left an indelible memory for Shi Tianze, and he still remembers that he led the troops to flee in a hurry...

Withdrawing his mind, he took a sip of the wine and felt that it was burning from his throat to his stomach, and it was not so cold, so he continued: "Right now in our camp, there is a prince who is not low in status, who is good at sneak attacks. How can we feel at ease if we don’t find out this person?”

This sentence also explained why he was sure that Li Xia would come to sneak attack.

"Li Xia will definitely come. This is his usual style of play, and it is also his only chance to win. He must want to sneak attack us and kill King Zong and me."

He Bichi already understood.

Especially the last sentence made him fully support Shi Tianze's approach.

If Shi Tianze didn't explain clearly, He Bichi would also hand over the war to Shi Tianze's command, but he would still keep his puzzlement in his heart.

Patiently explaining like this can save a lot of trouble later on.

"Then, if you look at where Li Xia sneaked up last, you'll know who that weasel was among the wolves."

"Yes."

Shi Tianze was tired of talking, so he answered simply.

He Bichi leaned over and said, "Rongzhou City is the closest to Fenyang Ferry, you are waiting for Li Xia to attack Fenyang Ferry, because you suspect Zhang Hongfan."

"The Great Khan trusts Zhang Hongfan very much, and I also trust him. But in the army, besides him, it is hard for me to think of anyone else. For this expedition, the generals are all personally selected by the Great Khan."

When Li Fen was pacified, most of the troops of the Seventeenth Route were led by the younger generation of Shihou's family, because this was an opportunity to show off.

And these generals were all chosen by Kublai Khan to succeed the prince, so they are trustworthy.

Shi Tianze really couldn't figure out who it was.

The key is to have the strength to send Xinma to send letters from Shandong to Guanzhong in such a short period of time, and the status must not be low.

What must be said can only be Zhang Hongfan, or someone in his camp, such as Zhang Hongyan and Zhang Hongzheng.

He Bichi didn't care who the traitor was, and asked, "Have you set up an ambush for Li Xia to attack?"

"That's right, not only at Fenyang Ferry. No matter where Li Xia comes to sneak attack, he will always be ambushed."

"Then Li Xia was ambushed, and Guan Long was captured, so can he turn to the Great Khan?"

"That's what it means."

"it is good!"

Hebichi laughed and drank with peace of mind. After chatting with Shi Tianze, he told Li Heng to give Li Heng a chance to make meritorious deeds.

Because Li Heng is also his slave.

Li Heng's father, Li Weizhong, was adopted by Hesa'er back then.

Hesa'er has more than 40 sons, among whom is the most outstanding Brother Yixiang, who adopted Li Heng again.

And Hebichi is also the son of Hesaer and the younger brother of Brother Yixiang.

If it is said that Tacha'er married his younger sister to Li Fen in order to maintain his fief in Shandong, Brother Yixiang sent his slaves Li Weizhong, Li Heng and his son to Shandong for the sake of the fief.

Hebichi wants to guarantee the interests of his brother.

When talking about Li Heng, Shi Tianze suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is Li Heng the royal family of Xixia?"

"Xixia has been destroyed long ago, how can there be Xixia." He Bichi was a little drunk, and said casually: "My brother's domestic slave is loyal, and he must be rewarded."

Shi Tianze would never disobey him, he would answer any request, and after that he had a drink with the Zongwang, and then he returned to his residence, but he was busy with military affairs before going to bed.

……

"Commander, there is an urgent report from the Wu Wangdu camp. 3000 Song soldiers left Xiayangdu at night, crossed the Yellow River on ice and attacked the camp, broke into the southeast corner of the camp, and burned a warehouse of grain..."

"The southeast corner?" Shi Tianze scolded angrily, "How did the Song army go around from the west to the east?"

"The end will not know."

"check."

"Yes."

"Surround this Song army?"

"General Hao has led troops to encircle, but... but the Song army penetrated the left wing, it was too dark, and for a while..."

Hearing that the situation was so bad, Shi Tianze calmed down instead, walked to the edge of the map, frowning in thought.

In the middle of the map is a Yellow River running from north to south. Xiayangdu and Wuwangdu are on the east and west sides of the middle section of the Yellow River.

His finger drew a circle in the middle of the Yellow River, hesitated for a moment, moved north, stopped at Fenyangdu, moved over two place names, and landed on the three characters "Longmendu".

"Longmen Ferry or Fenyang Ferry? You come here to die."

Shi Tianze muttered to himself, and after thinking about it again, he knew that his ambush was not neglected, so he arranged for scouts to continue scouting for news.

He went back to the back hall, brought out two spirit cards and placed them on the table.He began to prepare sacrificial utensils in an orderly manner, as if he was preparing to use Li Xia's head to pay homage to his two dead nephews.

The incense burner was set up, and it was gently lifted to straighten it.

Three sticks of incense are inserted in the incense burner.

"Ziming." Shi Tianze poured a glass of wine casually, "If you have a soul in the sky, let Li Xia die tonight."

After pouring another glass, he turned to Shi Quan's coffin, waiting to speak.

"Boheng, you..."

"Big guy!"

An announcement interrupted Shi Tianze's heart-to-heart conversation with his nephew, he turned his head, and had a premonition that something was wrong because of the look on the horse.

"Song Army...Song Army took a detour and attacked Fenyang Ferry..."

When he heard this, Shi Tianze was still thinking, this is not bad news.

Li Xia was tricked into attacking Fenyang Ferry, but he didn't know that he had already set up an ambush.

However, Tan Ma continued to talk.

"Ambush in the north, General Sundutai's troops suffered heavy losses."

"Wait a minute, what do you mean? What do you mean the Song army attacked the ambush north of Fenyangdu? Sneak attack the ambush?"

"Yes, General Xundutai said that he is preparing for an ambush with all his strength. He doesn't want the Song army to rush out from the Baiyugou behind. It is difficult...to resist, and was...defeated."

"How many casualties?" Shi Tianze asked.

Xundutai led [-] soldiers and was supposed to attack Li Xia with others, but now he became the first one to be defeated by Li Xia.

The number of casualties will affect how much Li Xia can pull back the forces of both sides.

"No... I don't know, I'm afraid it was a big defeat."

"Pass my military order, and the nearby soldiers and horses will go all out to chase after the Song army..."

"..."

Shi Tianze issued orders, but he no longer had the expectation of defeating Li Xia tonight.

He wandered alone in the hall, his eyes became more and more suspicious.

"How did Li Xia know that I set up an ambush? Fenyang Ferry? Is it Zhang Hongfan?"

~~
Wu Wangdu, Mongolian camp.

Zhang Hongfan is ordering his soldiers to put up mental defense.

Tonight, a small group of Song troops attacked the camp and burned a small warehouse of grain and grass.

The food and grass are not much, but why the Song army was able to attack the camp and retreat completely is quite strange.

Obviously, there must be Li Xia's secret work in the army, and his status is not low...

It wasn't Zhang Hongfan's defense area that was attacked. His camp was to the north of the camp, so it's good to guard your own camp at this time.

After arranging the defense, Zhang Hongfan turned back to his barracks to rest, but he saw Zhang Hongzheng running from the side with a strange expression.

"Ninth Brother, what do you think this is?"

Zhang Hongfan turned his head and saw the letter in Zhang Hongzheng's hand. Before he read the content, he suddenly understood what it was about tonight's attack on the camp before reading the contents, and his face changed drastically in an instant.

"Who voted here? Who wants to frame me..."
