Hanzhong.

When Liu Yizhen knew that Helian Bobo was not angry and died, he felt a little regretful in his heart.

Just as I would be in a desperate situation without Liu Song at this moment, if Helian Bobo died, the entire Hu Xia would also be divided.

For this reason, Liu Yizhen took Liu Quan to walk around the Yangpingguan Wall every day, hoping that Helian Bobo could see the scene of "father and son harmony" on his side...

But unfortunately, Helian Bobo just couldn't be beaten to death. In order to avoid the scorching heat of summer, he even moved the camp a few miles away and stationed himself in the cool mountain forest, completely out of sight and out of mind when Liu Yizhen and Liu Sui were out of sight.

Seeing that Helian Bobo was so low-key, Liu Yizhen also retreated to Luexian County and began to recruit soldiers in Hanzhong to prepare for military training.

Now it is impossible for Helian Bobo to leave, even if he is killed.

With Liu Suan here, it was impossible for Helian Bobo to go back without killing him.

Liu Yizhen guessed that there would be an earth-shattering attack on Helian Bobo's side, so naturally he did not dare to relax. In just one month, he recruited another 5,000 soldiers in Hanzhong and handed them over to Yuan Huzhi for training.

On this day, Liu Yizhen used a pair of chopsticks to pick up a small pot of venison. Although the meat was plump, he couldn't get rid of it.

Xie Hui wiped a handful of sweat from his side and was obviously a little impatient with the food on the plate in front of him.

“The climate in Hanzhong is actually so hot.”

Xie Hui spent most of his first half of his life living on both sides of the Yangtze River. Although the temperature there was slightly higher, it still did not reach the "hot" level.

The scorching heat in Hanzhong was obviously a bit unbearable for him, and he and the others all lost weight and looked haggard.

Liu Yizhen grabbed a fan next to him and fanned himself wildly. He replied with a bit of exhaustion: "As the saying goes, it's extremely hot in Shu. I know that today."

Fanning the meat soup on the plate again, Liu Yizhen pushed the food away and said, "Send it to the guard on duty at the door. In addition, pay attention to heatstroke prevention measures and adjust the syrup to prevent the soldiers from getting heatstroke."

The slurry is made from mustard greens, cabbage, celery, koji, radish leaves, soybean sprouts, etc., blanched in boiling water, mixed with a small amount of flour, added with warm water, and fermented with yeast. It has a miraculous effect in reducing heat.

This dish originates from the eastern part of Hanzhong, so it is also eaten by a large number of people in Hanzhong. When summer entered, it was selected by Liu Yizhen to become a weapon for the Song army to cool down the heat.

"Here!"

Liu Yizhen's heart moved for no apparent reason as he fanned his fan with a dull look in his eyes:

"The summer is so sultry and it will inevitably be accompanied by heavy rain."

Hanzhong happens to be located in a basin. When the temperature rises, the water in the basin and the surrounding mountains will often evaporate and form clouds, causing heavy rains.

In response, Liu Yizhen suddenly became alarmed and said: "Will Helian Bobo attack Hanzhong by water?"

These words made Xie Hui, Yuan Huzhi and other people who were familiar with the art of war look at each other and smile.

"Although Hanzhong is a basin, the terrain of Yangping Pass is much higher than the Han River. Even a water attack cannot break Yang Ping Pass. Instead, the Han River will flood Helianbobo's military camp. Your Majesty does not need to worry."

"Besides, Hu Xia's troops are all Hu people and are good at fighting on horseback. If they abandon their horses and board ships, they will be asking for trouble."

Even so, Liu Yizhen still felt a little uneasy.

"Helian Bobo has been quiet since he was angry and left. He must be planning something."

He originally thought that Helian Bobo would attack Dingjun Mountain, but there was no movement at all from Dingjun Mountain, which made Liu Yizhen somewhat doubtful of his judgment.

"In any case, from now on, we will send soldiers to observe the water level of the Han River every day, and at the same time, we will build more sterns as backup."

Everyone was a little indifferent to Liu Yizhen's worries, but they still started building the ship according to the order.

Another half month passed.

Liu Yizhen lay on the bed tossing and turning in the middle of the night, trying to transfer the heat from his body to the cool bed, but no matter who was the emperor or whoever was on it, the bed was still unwilling to help people relieve the heat, which made Liu Yizhen extremely irritable.

.

"Boom!"

There was a sudden loud noise in the sweltering world, which made Liu Yizhen jump out of bed, quickly walked to the window and opened the window sash, and a coolness and moisture hit his face instantly.

It's raining!

The coolness brought by the rain did not make Liu Yizhen relax his brows, but instead made him frown even tighter.

The people and soldiers around Liu Yizhen's residence were obviously awakened by the sudden heavy rain, and they joined the celebration one after another, singing and dancing in the rain, so happy.

"His Majesty!"

Fan Daoji, who had been staying by Liu Yizhen's side, originally wanted to join the carnival, but when he saw Liu Yizhen coming out in a thin shirt, he immediately took a bamboo umbrella to protect Liu Yizhen's head.

Gently opening the bamboo umbrella, Liu Yizhen squinted and looked at the gray sky, but the ominous premonition in his heart became more and more serious.

"General Fan, are you sure Yangping Pass is really safe?"

When Fan Daoji heard this, he knew that Liu Yizhen was still worried about Helian Bobo's water attack, so he persuaded him earnestly: "Your Majesty, unless Helian Bobo can cut off the Qinling Mountains, it is impossible for Yangping Pass to be flooded by the Han River!"

"No, that's not right..."

Liu Yizhen still felt strange.

"Yangping Pass cannot be flooded, and Dingjun Mountain cannot be flooded. What on earth does Helian Bobo want to do?"

Fan Daoji couldn't answer this question, so he just stood in the rain with Liu Yizhen and thought.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and soon the people who were celebrating happily were driven back into their houses, leaving only Liu Yizhen's figure and the majestic heavy rain gradually blurring together.

"boom!"

There were several loud noises again, but this time, whether it was Liu Yizhen, Fan Daoji, Xie Hui, Yuan Huzhi, etc. who had all entered the room to rest, they all looked into the distance at the same time.

"Not thunder!"

Liu Yizhen ran out quickly, and at the same time, a group of Song Army generals also ran out.

"This noise...could it be a landslide?"

Although the mountains around the Han River are very solid, the possibility of collapse when the amount of water is too large cannot be ruled out.

"impossible!"

Yuan Huzhi was from Hanzhong, and he knew that even if the mountain collapsed, it would not make such a noise.

This question will be answered in a moment.

"His Majesty!"

Some soldiers risked their lives in the heavy rain to come and report the news to Liu Yizhen. However, these soldiers were not the defenders in the direction of Yangpingguan, but the defenders of Hanzhong in the rear.

"Your Majesty! The water level suddenly rose sharply! Many piers were washed away!"

"Are there any casualties?"

"That's not true."

It's just that the dock was damaged, so it's not really a loss.

The Han River was so turbulent that even the Song army could not fight on the waterway, let alone the Hu Xia?

When all the ministers were immersed in the joy of "a false alarm", Liu Yizhen suddenly raised his head.

"Dingjun Mountain!"

"What?"

Liu Yizhen suddenly raised his legs and ran towards the Han River. When he saw the Han River where it was impossible to march, his face darkened.

"Dingjun Mountain! The purpose of Helianbobo's water attack from the beginning was to use the Han River to cut off our connection with Dingjun Mountain!"

"He doesn't want to use Hanshui as a weapon."

"But use the Han River as a shield!"
