Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 271
The fact that Fan Daoji was selected by Liu Yizhen as his bodyguard was due to his extraordinary force, apart from the fact that the two had lived and died together in Chang'an.

At least Liu Yizhen, whether in the Jiankang court or in the army, has never seen anyone who can fight better than Fan Daoji.

Fan Daoji's strength lies in foot combat, but horse combat is not weak either.

He didn't hold a horse, but only a sword with a ring head and a strong shield, he cut a bloody path from the long and horizontal army formation, and chased in the direction of Helian Bobo.

As the night darkened, the killing sounds on the battlefield gradually slowed down.

At this time, the air was even more oppressive, making it difficult to breathe.

Liu Yizhen thought it was his own illusion, and he didn't raise his head until a few drops of rain fell on his face.

Although it was nighttime, it was still possible to see that the clouds were indeed thicker than usual.

Stretching out his palm, a few more huge drops of water fell from the sky, bursting into a pile of water stains.

"It's raining."

Liu Yizhen frowned again.

"withdraw troops!"

Although I really want to continue to expand the results of the battle, it is just that once there is a heavy rain in the valley, it is easy to cause landslides. Don't die a few people in the battle, but they will all be buried alive by mudslides.

"Withdraw! We will all retreat to Long County!"

No matter how unwilling you are, you can't make fun of the soldier's life.That's not called sacrifice, it's called cruelty.

The rain was getting heavier and the road was getting slipperier. Even Liu Yizhen got off his horse and led the horse and retreated south step by step.

The majestic rain hit Song Jun heavily, and it took two hours for tens of thousands of troops to withdraw from the battlefield.

He didn't even have time to pack up the spoils, so he hurriedly wrapped up the body of his comrade who died in battle and left on the horse.

Just as Song Jun left, there was a loud noise from behind, causing everyone to turn their heads.

Liu Yizhen was also startled by the loud noise, turned around and saw the sky in the north.

The boulders and trees on both sides of the mountain road were washed down by the mud and smashed heavily on the mountain road. The Song Army who had already come to the safe zone still had lingering fears about the scene.

As long as Liu Yizhen gave the order to withdraw his troops a little later, he was afraid that a considerable size of the Song army would be swallowed by that terrifying abyss.

"God bless Song Dynasty."

Even Xie Hui, Mao Dezu and others who never believed in ghosts and gods fell into devout prayers at this moment.

"..."

God bless the devil!

Liu Yizhen rolled his eyes: "Don't stay here any longer. If it rains again, there might be a mountain torrent. It's not safe to stay here. Go to the high ground."

Even so, Song Jun still walked very slowly. The main reason was that when it rained, the road became a swamp, which made people unable to move their legs.

It was not until late at night that the Song army withdrew to Long County, and spent the night in a private house in the city to shelter from the rain.

Liu Yizhen originally planned to go to Xiaoguan the next day when the rain stopped, but was interrupted by an accident...

Liu Yi is really sick.

Originally, Liu Yizhen's body was considered strong, and he wouldn't catch a cold even after a little rain.

But since the day Liu Yizhen set off from Jiankang to go north, he hasn't had a good rest.At this moment, he finally reached the limit of the human body and was forced to rest by the body.

When Liu Yizhen got sick, Helian Bobo didn't matter.

In addition, the road back to the middle was blocked by mudslides, and Helian Bobo couldn't get through. The Song Bureau in Long County gradually retreated to Chang'an.

Lying on the sickbed, Liu Yizhen was sometimes sober and sometimes confused. He rested in Chang'an for two days before he got better.

Great!
Liu Yizhen touched his hot head, but he was full of complaints.

With Sima Yi in front of him, he could forget such an important lesson.

Living long is the key to overcoming all difficulties!

If I am so overstretched, maybe Wang Hong, the father-in-law, will preside over another enthronement ceremony...

"When I go back this time, I will definitely have to recuperate my body."

Taking advantage of his illness, Liu Yizhen had a rare few days of rest, wandering around in the new Chang'an City, and went to the monk guide to chat about life, it was very pleasant.

Tan Daoji also rushed to Guanzhong from Hebei with tens of thousands of the main force of the Song army. Since then, Guanzhong has no worries.

Zhu Lingshi's injury was almost healed, so the soldiers of the Song army were sent to clear the roadblocks on the way back to the middle, and the Song army took back Xiaoguan.

Liu Yizhen spent a few more carefree days in Chang'an, and finally embarked on the journey reluctantly.

The war is not over yet, if the Song army does not completely control the outside of the pass, there will never be peace in the pass.

Beyond Xiaoguan is Anding County, which was divided into Beidi County in the third year of Yuanding, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

This place is extremely important for guarding Guanzhong. During the Three Kingdoms period, Anding County was also the farthest place Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, had ever fought in the Northern Expedition of Cao Weizhong.

In Zhuge Liang's strategy, the Shu Han wanted to occupy the three counties of Nan'an, Tianshui, and Anding, and completely encircle Guanzhong from the west and north.

It's a pity that Ma Di, a young genius who is good at talking about wars on paper, lost the street pavilion in the back. Shu Han didn't occupy An Ding for too long before Cao Wei recaptured it.

Even Zhuge Liang believed that the ownership of Anding County determined the safety of Guanzhong, so Liu Yizhen naturally would not give it up.

In the past, due to lack of ability, the Song army could only regain Xiaoguan at most, and could not get involved outside the pass.

It is different now.

The main force of the Song army was in Guanzhong, and they could go wherever they wanted. Helian Bobo, who had just been defeated, would dare to come to the Song army's bad luck at this time.

Liu Yizhen led the army out of Xiaoguan, went straight to Anding County, and took all seven counties of Anding, Linjing, Wuzhi, Yinmi, Quail, Chaona, and Dulu into his pocket, completing the recovery of Anding County.

It's just that everyone disagreed on the direction of the march.

Someone proposed to continue to go north, take advantage of his illness to kill him, surround Tongwan City, destroy Hu Xia, completely regain Hetao, form an encirclement circle for Northern Wei Rouran, and prepare for driving him back to Monan.

Some people think that the army is not ready, and the logistics and supplies are not enough to supply the army to Tongwan City.Just let the cavalry go up and be afraid of being ambushed by Helian Bobo, so don't be rash.

And the most crucial point.

In the west, there are still a few cuties growing up there.

There are only Liu Song, Northern Wei, and Hu Xia among the major powers in the world.

Now both the Northern Wei Dynasty and Hu Xia have been disabled, and strictly speaking, only the Liu Song family dominates.

However, there are still some small country dogs that have continued from the era of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms secretly watching everything that happened in the Central Plains in the corners.

Lin Yi in the south has had its back broken, and its death is only a matter of time.

Moreover, the development of Linyi depends entirely on the favorable location, and the strength of the country is actually surprisingly weak.

But those small countries in the north are different.

They were all established by nomads and occupied land for raising horses, so they could gather tens of thousands of cavalry.

These tens of thousands of cavalry are naturally not afraid of Hu Xia and the Northern Wei Dynasty.

But for Liu Song, who still lacks cavalry, it is not a small trouble.

And at this moment, next to Guanzhong, there are three such small countries——

They are Xiqin, Qiuchi, and Beiliang! (I know there is still Tuyuhun, but this country... Bi Qiuchi can still hang up, let him hang up for now.)
