Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 259
Guanzhong.

Zhu Lingshi and Mao Dezu fell silent facing a map in the military tent.

"Is there still no news from Hebei?"

"Although Your Majesty kills the villains, the Northern Wei Dynasty is powerful after all. No one can guarantee whether they have the cards to turn the tables. It is a good thing to be cautious after all."

The two chatted with each other, expressing the depression in their chests.

The battle in Guanzhong was not smooth.

When Mao Dezu discovered Helianbo's attack, he immediately pushed the army forward to Xiaoguan's front.

It's just that everyone knows that Xiaoguan was built in the scattered Jing and Wei river valleys, and it can't completely lock the enemy out of the pass like Tongguan, Hangu Pass, or Yangping Pass.Therefore, during the period of Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu could follow Xiaoguan into Guanzhong and burn the Ganquan Palace, leaving a huge shadow in the heart of the young Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Now Mao Dezu also encountered the same problem as the Han army hundreds of years ago.

There are often small groups of Huxia cavalry penetrating through the trail into the hinterland of Guanzhong, which makes Mao Dezu unable to deal with Helian Bobo wholeheartedly, and often has to disperse his troops to the rear for rescue.

This situation did not ease until Zhu Lingshi led an army to Guanzhong.

Only with enough manpower and the beacon fire at the old site of the Great Wall of Qin and Han around Xiaoguan can the situation in Guanzhong be stabilized.

Of course, just stability.

To repel Helian Bobo, more support is needed.

Mao Dezu also learned the news of Liu Yu's death after Zhu Lingshi came to Guanzhong, so he was naturally heartbroken at that time.

Liu Yu passed away and the new emperor succeeded, so he must return to Jiankang.

Just like when Liu Yu captured Guanzhong in the Northern Expedition, he had to return to Jiankang in a hurry because of Liu Muzhi's death, leaving the mess in Guanzhong to Liu Yizhen...

Now there is no one in Guanzhong who can solve the mess.

Even Wang Xiu was called away by Liu Yizhen!

This made Mao Dezu have the most pessimistic thought in his heart——

They and Guan Zhong have been given up by Liu Yizhen.

Is this true distrust of Liu Yi?
No!

Mao Dezu himself also hoped that Liu Yizhen could return to the south as soon as possible to inherit the throne.

Liu Yu's sudden death will inevitably lead to many problems. If it is not handled properly, it may even lead to Liu Song's crisis of national subjugation and extinction.

Although Guanzhong is important, it is not the core.

The South is it!

Mao Dezu believed that with Liu Yizhen's ability, he would be able to stabilize the chaos in the south.

At that time, even if you die in battle, your children and grandchildren will be protected.

For this reason, Mao Dezu imagined many ways to die for himself, and every time he went to the place where he was moved, he made the big man in Xingyang shed tears.

There is a "generosity" version.

He was captured alive by Helian Bobo, stripped naked and hung up at the gate of the city to humiliate him, then he raised his head to the sky and screamed, scolded Helianbobo angrily, and in a fit of rage Helianbobo ordered the body to be quartered and died.

There is a "I would rather die than surrender" version.

When Guanzhong fell, He Lianbo persuaded him kindly, and he was devoted to Song Dynasty.He Lianbo beheaded Dezu with tears in desperation.

There is a "Blood Stained Field" version.

Sticking to Guanzhong until the last day, when the ammunition and food were exhausted, he desperately fought a bloody way for the young Zhu Lingshi, let him lead people to evacuate, and he died on the battlefield after shedding the last drop of blood.

Among them, Mao Dezu's favorite is the "Blood Stained Battlefield" version.

Because he believed that he was not the kind of general who would be captured alive.When things come to an end, I would rather kill myself than fall into the hands of Xiaoxiao's generation.

And if you die like this...

Maybe even the imperial court can reward him with the title of title, so that his descendants can be sprouted.

If it was better, if Liu Yizhen remembered his old love, he would be given a posthumous title or something, deserved to enjoy the Gaozu Temple, and leave a separate biography in the history books.

In this way, this life is not in vain.

But just when Mao Dezu had already figured out where to bury himself and where he would fall when he died, an urgent report from outside the customs made Mao Dezu's "dream shattered".

Tuobasi died, counterattack Hebei!
The title is gone, the posthumous title is gone, and the position in the history books is naturally gone...

So Mao Dezu didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

The war in Hebei is still coming to an end, and the elimination of Liu Yizhen in the Northern Wei Dynasty will inevitably lead the army back to Guanzhong.

At that time, even if Mao Dezu wanted to die in battle, he had no chance...

Thinking of this, Mao Dezu felt a little lost.

Seeing this, Zhu Lingshi looked stunned, why did Mao Dezu have a sad expression when he heard that Tuoba Si died, and those who didn't know thought Mao Dezu was a general of Wei.

"Cough cough."

Seeing Zhu Lingshi staring at him, Mao Dezu was a little embarrassed, and deleted all the previous "sacrifice" images in his mind.

Immortality is of course a good thing.

The rescue of Guanzhong is naturally a great thing!
Title, posthumous title...

There will be these too.

Right now, in the Song Army, anyone with higher seniority than Mao Dezu can be counted with one hand. Based on this alone, Mao Dezu can also gain a good reputation when he dies.

Besides...

Mao Dezu's son is indeed worthless, but his school lieutenant Fan Daoji was a popular person around Liu Yizhen and his personal bodyguard.Based on this kind of incense, Mao Dezu didn't believe that he would be miserable after death.

"What is this old man doing? Haven't thought about how to hold Helian Bobo!"

Seeing that Mao Dezu began to rely on the old to sell the old, Zhu Lingshi, who had a higher official position than Mao Dezu, could only twitch the corners of his mouth and shift his gaze elsewhere.

"The most annoying thing about Helian Bobo now is that he keeps crossing the Xiao Pass along the river valley path to attack the rear. A few days ago, I sent 5000 people each to guard the pass that Hu Xia passes most often."

In fact, it is not difficult to solve this point.

The best way is to send a few cavalry to wait behind Xiao Guan, and a small number of Hu Xia cavalry will come in and eat them directly. As time goes by, Hu Xia will naturally stop this behavior of "beating dogs with meat buns".

But all the cavalry in Guanzhong were taken away by Fu Hongzhi, and the cavalry of Mao Dezu's tribe was obviously a drop in the ocean compared to Hu Xia's cavalry.

The second countermeasure is Zhu Lingshi's method.

There is a hole blocking a hole.

It's just that this will inevitably disperse the main force of Xiaoguan and Hu Xia's confrontation.

It's usually fine, but if Helian Bobo's whole army suddenly attacked the city, it would be a little tight.

"General Zhu! General Mao!"

The two were talking, but some scouts rushed into the tent.

In doing so, there must be an emergency military situation!
"Helian Bobo is attacking again! And this time... it seems that the whole army is attacking!"

The two looked at each other, really afraid of something.

"Let's go and have a look. Helian Bobo has been mainly harassing for the past few days, and now he suddenly launched a general attack, there must be something strange!"

In fact, there was indeed a reason why Helian Bobo suddenly chose to attack violently.

He had already learned about Tuoba Si's death through Hu Xia's spies in the Northern Wei Dynasty!

In the past few days, I will go back to my hometown to go to the grave (that is, ancestor worship, which seems to be called in the south), so the update time may be a little unstable, please forgive me.
