The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 865
"Lihua, you are finally back. Father and mother are looking forward to you every day." Seeing Fan Lihua walking in, Fan Hong said happily.

"Father, my daughter came down this time at the order of Master. It is for Tang Jun who is about to arrive at Hanjiang Pass." Fan Lihua said to Fan Hong.

"Father knew that Lihua came here for this purpose. Now that Lihua is here at Hanjiang Pass, Tang Jun may not be able to do it if he wants to pass." Fan Hong said with a big smile.

"Father, don't say that your daughter is back. Even if there are ten Fan Lihua in Hanjiang Pass, it is impossible to block Tang Jun half a step." Fan Lihua said to Fan Hong.

"What do you mean by that? Don't you come back to help my father guard Hanjiang Pass?" Fan Hong asked Fan Lihua with a sullen face.

"Father, Su Baotong dragged the entire Xiliang country into the water for his own selfishness. In this battle, not only the residents of Sanguan were spared, but the people of Lianyang City also became the souls of the Tang army."

"If father still insists on going his own way, I'm afraid that the folks and elders of Hanjiang Pass will eventually be buried in Hanjiang Pass because of father's decision." Fan Lihua said.

"I didn't expect that my precious daughter, Fan Hong, was looking forward to day and night. I came back not to help me guard the Hanjiang Pass, but to persuade me, Fan Hong, to switch and surrender."

"I, Fan Hong, am a minister of Xiliang, and I receive a salary from the king of Xiliang. How can I do such a perverse thing? I have already decided to live and die with Hanjiangguan." Fan Hong turned around and said.

"Father, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your two elder brothers. You should think about the hundreds of thousands of people in Hanjiang Pass." Fan Lihua continued to persuade.

At this moment, Fan Long and Fan Hu walked in.And he opened his mouth and said to Fan Lihua: "We two brothers don't need to worry about you. If you are afraid of death, go back to Lishan immediately. No one will stop you."

"Big brother, second brother, don't tell me you are as confused as father. Now Xiliang Kingdom is no longer the King of Xiliang, but Su Baotong and his brother."

"It won't be long, and I'm afraid the entire Xiliang country will not be left behind. So the two elder brothers should help the little sister persuade her father." Fan Lihua said to her two elder brothers.

No matter how Fan Lihua persuaded, Fan Hong, Fan Long and Fan Hu, father and son, just couldn't listen to a word.He even opened his mouth to abuse Fan Lihua, for being a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

In the end, Fan Lihua only said one sentence, that is, if I, Fan Lihua, were afraid of death, why should I go back to Hanjiang Pass at this time.After speaking, he turned and went to see his mother.Fan Hong and his son were left in the study room.

……

"Marshal, Hanjiang Pass is ahead." Tan Ma came to Xue Dingshan and said.

"Order the whole army to set up camp five miles away from Hanjiang Pass. And order the artillery battalion to set up positions." Xue Dingshan ordered.

After receiving Xue Dingshan's commander-in-chief, the whole army began to set up camp.And the red cannons were arranged in front of the barracks.After everything was ready, the generals came to the tent of the Chinese army and reported to Xue Dingshan.

"Father commander, I think our army should shell Hanjiang Pass overnight. Kill their prestige first." Xue Dingshan said to Xue Rengui.

Although Xue Rengui's body has not recovered yet, it is still possible to walk slowly.So Xue Jinlian came to the big tent of the Chinese army with the help of Xue Jinlian.

To put it bluntly, Xue Rengui is still not at ease with Xue Dingshan.That's why he disregarded Xue Jinlian's objection, and everything he said would have the Chinese army accounted for.

After Xue Rengui heard Xue Dingshan's words, he nodded and said: "This is feasible, after all, fighting between the two armies is all about morale."

"The morale of the Xiliang army is not high at all, so give him another blow. It is estimated that the Xiliang army will have no morale at all."

"Duke E, then I'll leave this matter to you. You must show the prestige of our army." Xue Dingshan said to Yu Chigong.

"Marshal, I'm afraid it may not be possible. There are not many shells left now. I can't afford such a waste." Yu Chigong said helplessly.

Now that Li Tai has returned to Youzhou, the logistical supplies can't keep up.So shells and grenades are running out of stock.

Hearing Yu Chigong's words, Li Zhi said, "I have already sent Duke Lu back to Chang'an City, and the supplies will arrive in a short time. But it's better to save some time."

Hearing Li Zhi's words, the hearts of everyone were finally relieved.They were really worried that the red cannon had no shells.After all, they have adapted to the current style of fighting with red cannons.

"In that case, I'll go to Hanjiang Pass tomorrow morning. Let's see what kind of masters there are in Hanjiang Pass." Xue Dingshan said.

……

It turned out that when leaving Suoyang City, Li Zhi received a secret letter from Wu Ze.It was mentioned in the letter that Li Tai sent hundreds of red cannons to Chang'an City.There are also tens of thousands of shells and grenades.

That's why Li Zhicai sent Cheng Yaojin back to deliver supplies to the front of the two armies.But after all, it is thousands of miles apart, and it is impossible to deliver it in a short time.

And the person who delivered the letter for Wu Ze was none other than Tang Aoshan, the head of the Tang Sect.But Li Zhi didn't recognize Tang Aoshan, he only knew his name was Xiaoshanzi.

And according to Wu Ze's instructions, let Tang Aoshan stay in the army and be responsible for Li Zhi's basic necessities of life.The reason is to worry about Li Zhi's body.

So Li Zhi has never suspected anything until now.Moreover, Li Tai never mentioned in the letter how ambitious Wu Ze was.

After all, even if Li Tai said it, Li Zhi would never believe it.Because Li Zhi really loves Wu Ze so much.But Wu Ze loves power more, and Li Zhi has become secondary.

Although Li Zhi was not wary of Tang Aoshan, it did not mean that Li Xin was not wary.After all, Li Tai told Li Xin a long time ago.

Explain that we must guard against the eunuchs around Li Zhi, especially the one named Xiao Shanzi.So once Tang Aoshan arrived in Suoyang City, he was completely under Li Xin's surveillance.

But this Tang Aoshan is also a patient person, after arriving in Suoyang City, he was not in a hurry at all.So Tang Aoshan's disguise is very good now.

If Li Tai hadn't told Li Xin in advance, it is estimated that Li Xin might not have thought of it.

……

Early the next morning, Xue Dingshan put on his helmet, pierced armor and burqa.He led a team out of the camp and lined up in front of Hanjiang Pass.And ordered the soldiers to fight against the enemy outside Hanjiang Pass.

Fan Hong in Hanjiang Pass naturally also received the news.So he took his two sons and rushed out of Hanjiang Pass.And set up a battle in front of the moat.

"The barbarians of the Tang Dynasty on the opposite side, your grandfather will not kill the unknown." Fan Long rushed to the front of the two armies as soon as he urged the horse, pointing at Xue Dingshan and said arrogantly.

"This commander is Xue Dingshan, Generalissimo of the Three Armies of the Great Tang Dynasty. Are you that unknown person?" Xue Dingshan asked with a look of disdain.
