The twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month.

The Mongolian army has begun to storm Hanzhong City.

The city walls of Hanzhong can be traced back to the Warring States Period and the Qin Dynasty's construction of Nanzheng City.

Large-scale renovations were carried out in the Han and Sui Dynasties.

Today, Hanzhong City is also called "Xingyuan Mansion", and its administrative location is Nanzheng County, which is the inner city.

There is also an outer city. The outer city wall has a circumference of forty-two miles and a height of three feet. The external weir is used as a moat.

The entire city defense is magnificent, solid and magnificent.

Because Hanzhong City is on the north bank of the Han River, the Mongolian army mainly attacked the north, west and east sides.

On the south bank of the Han River, countless Mongolian cavalry dispersed, waiting for the Song army to escape and kill them...

~~

On the observation platform, Liu Yuanzhen and Liu Zheng stood side by side, watching the Mongolian army rush up to the city wall like a tide, as if they were watching the sea.

"The last general would like to ask for orders to defeat Hanzhong," Liu Zheng said.

"No need." Liu Yuanzhen said: "Prince Zong has received the news that Wang Weizheng, Wang Hanchen and Zhao Dingyuan of Lizhou have arrived with 18,000 troops."

Liu Zheng made some calculations and found that the Mongolian army was actually planning to gather 80,000 troops in Hanzhong.

He sneered and asked: "Zhang Jue is just worth it?"

Liu Yuanzhen smiled.

This is not a question of whether Zhang Jue is worthy or not. But after the death of the Great Khan, who is not afraid of becoming the one who is blocked in Sichuan and Shu?

This is the human heart.

"With the power of thunder, it is inevitable to regain Hanzhong." Liu Yuanzhen waved his hand, not bothering to look at the battlefield again, and said: "I have proposed to the king to return to Jingzhao Mansion first."

"Chang'an?"

"That's right." Liu Yuanzhen said: "Since King Monan was granted the title of Central Plains, Shaanxi and Shanxi have been guarded by my father. The people's livelihood and political affairs are handled by Lian Xixian and Shang Ting... But the year before last, the Great Khan sent Alan to answer

"My son, Liu Taiping went south to gou kao, abolished the pacification, administration, and promoted the three divisions."

Liu Zheng was not familiar with the situation in the north, so he listened attentively and thought about the meaning of these words.

To put it simply, Wang Dechen, Liu Heima, Shi Tianze, and Zhang Rou controlled the military power in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei and other places. Although they were close to Kublai Khan, they always obeyed Meng Ge. Alan Da'er did not dare to touch these worldly affairs.

Hou.

However, Alandar persecuted the civil servants under Kublai Khan.

Now, Meng Ge is dead.

"Alanda'er is now serving as the left prime minister of Shaanxi Province, nominally controlling the government affairs of Shaanxi and Henan." Liu Yuanzhen said, "Who does Wu Zhong think he is?"

If he were in the Song Dynasty, Liu Zheng would have said "he is a man of the Great Khan", but in the Great Mongolia, such lies are not played.

Liu Zheng clasped his fists and asked immediately: "Kill?"

Liu Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes and said, "My father has led the troops back to Shaanxi, but he still hasn't taken action. Does Wu Zhong know why?"

"Alan Da'er has soldiers?"

"Not much." Liu Yuanzhen asked, "Do you know Liupan Mountain?"

Liu Zheng said: "The mountain is three thousand feet high and the Qin Pass is two hundred feet high?"

"Yes, Liupan Mountain is not only important because of its terrain. It is also the place where Genghis Khan returned to the heaven of immortality. Every time the great Khans of the past dynasties went to the south to make sacrifices, they would go to Liupan Mountain to offer sacrifices. This is where the Great Mongol Kingdom marches and is guarded by heavy troops."

Liu Zheng already understood and asked: "Is the general of Liupanshan a member of Brother Ali?"

"Hunduhai." Liu Yuanzhen nodded and said, "Ali Bu's brother."

Liu Zheng didn't understand Liupan Mountain or Hundu Sea, but he had some understanding of the situation.

Liu Yuanzhen said: "Understood? Why did Wang Liangchen lose Hanzhong? Why did Wang Hanchen withdraw from Lizhou in a hurry? Although they didn't say it explicitly, they knew clearly in their hearts that the Wang family could lose Lizhou to the Song people, and sooner or later they would return it.

We can seize it, but the most important thing at the moment is to rush back to Gongchang as soon as possible to prevent changes in the Hundu Sea, and to be the king of Monan...that is, to be your majesty tomorrow, to put down the rebellion."

"clear."

"A mere Zhang Jue is not worth the siege of an 80,000-strong army. But we have to be quick. We must stabilize the situation in Shaanxi before Alandar and Hunduhai join forces."

Liu Zheng solemnly clasped his fists again.

He already knew where his first real great achievement would be after joining Mongolia.

A few Song troops in Hanzhong City are not a big concern. The man who dared to persecute King Monan, Alandaer, was worth his head.

~~

Wang Liangchen also knew what Liu Yuanzhen could think of.

In Jingzhao Mansion, in the whole of Shaanxi, Henan, and even in the entire Central Plains, which prince or official does not hate Alan Da'er?

The tragedy of Goukao was still vivid in his mind, and Monan King was forced to surrender all power and return to the grassland to commit suicide.

Once the news of Meng Ge's death spreads, Alan Dal'er will become the person who must be killed.

Liu Heima had already rushed back to Jingzhao Mansion, and he couldn't wait to raise his butcher knife. He wished he could chop off Alan Da'er's head immediately to show his sincerity and advocate for the Monan King.

Once Liu Heima takes action, of course he will not only kill Alan Dal'er, but the whole of Shaanxi will be shaken.

Then, Hunduhai in Liupan Mountain will definitely raise troops immediately.

If the Wang family has not sent troops back to Gongchang by then, who can stop them?

Fortunately, the princes communicated with each other and agreed to take action together.

Wang Liangchen's mind was not on defending Hanzhong at all. He thought that waiting for his elder brother Wang Zhongchen to return with his troops would be enough to stabilize Gongchang, so he sent his troops to Lizhou, intending to cut through the chaos quickly and annihilate Li Xia.

It happened that at this time, Hanzhong was lost...

While the news of the Great Khan's death is still being sealed, Hanzhong must be recovered as soon as possible.

…

"Preach it! Tell the people in the city to kill the Song army and open the city gate. Otherwise, when the city is destroyed, don't blame me for not remembering old feelings and slaughtering the city!"

"Fourth brother, there is no need to worry." Wang Zhongchen squinted at the city head, smiled, and said: "The Song army is divided into such a long city wall. Each wall only has more than 3,000 troops, so it will not last long."

He waved his hand and asked someone to take Wang Liangchen down to recover from his injuries.

Wang Liangchen refused to leave and remained sitting on the observation deck.

"Brother, please let me watch with my own eyes the capture of Hanzhong."

Wang Zhongchen then took off his cloak and put it on Wang Liangchen.

The two brothers were well aware of the current situation, so they didn't need to say anything and just watched the battle in silence.

The Mongolian army numbered more than 60,000 people and drove many mountain people to die. They formed a continuous offensive on the three walls of the city.

Cannon stones, corpse oil and fireballs flew, hitting the city head and igniting a raging fire.

It can be seen that there are fewer and fewer Song troops on the top of the city.

Looking from afar, one cannot fully feel the tragedy.

Of course, the Wang brothers have experienced enough in their lives...

In the evening, the Mongolian army stormed the city.

The Wang brothers stood up and waited with bated breath for the city to be breached.

However, more than a hundred Song troops armed with axes rushed over and started a physical fight with the Mongolian troops on the top of the city.

"Is that Zhang Jue's personal guard?"

Wang Liangchen said "hmm".

Wang Zhongchen squinted his eyes and could feel the bravery of Zhang Jue's soldiers.

They turned the city head into a blood-red color and forcibly knocked down the Mongolian army from the city head.

But when Wang Zhongchen spoke, his tone was calm.

"There are not many left. If we attack the city again, Hanzhong can be captured."

Nearly a hundred warriors died in the battle, and the only thing people on the stage could say was, "There are not many left."

Wang Liangchen sighed and said: "Zhang Jue... will he die today or tomorrow?"

Wang Zhong raised his head and looked at the sky, waved his hand, and gave instructions to his bodyguard.

"That's almost it. Let the surrendered general go and recruit him."

~~

"Lifu, get up and kill the Meng Tatars. Eat meat tonight. There is plenty of meat in Hanzhong City."

"General... you promised... to bury me in Baqu..."

"You won't die, you won't die." Zhang Jue shook his head.
To be continued...
