June 21, Hanzhong.

At sunset, Li Zhaocheng was walking through Yanku Lane when he met a middle-aged man coming out of Han Mansion in front of him.

"I don't dare to trouble my brother to send me far away."

Hearing this sentence, Li Zhaocheng looked at the middle-aged man inexplicably.

He has a mediocre appearance, a cramped manner, and his clothes are patched. He is tidy, but unfortunately he has a dull air.

The two passed by each other, and Li Zhaocheng looked back again, seeing that the other person was only looking at the road, and his back looked even more dull.

He thought for a while and walked towards the Han family.

"Is Mr. Yining here? I have some official inquiries."

"Li Langjun, please come this way."

"No need to lead the way, I will go there myself..."

As he walked through the front yard, he suddenly heard the voices of several rough ladies talking in front of him. Li Zhaocheng was stunned for a moment, stopped and wanted to leave, but finally listened silently.

"Is he really a door-to-door son-in-law?"

"Yun Gu picked it herself, how can it be fake?"

"It seems that his character is really reliable. What's the origin?"

"I heard that my family comes from a medical family. I am a concubine. My father died early and he was kicked out by his brothers. He took his biological mother to practice medicine outside. His medical skills were so poor that he cured a man into a lame man a while ago. He lived in a dilapidated house.

He paid it back and took his biological mother to sleep on the street. Yun Gu thought he was pitiful and gave him two coins of money, but he didn't accept it."

"If you say this, you will be so dumbfounded that you will feel stupid."

"Yun Gu asked him if he could cure the scar on her face. She said he could try it, so she accepted half of the deposit. Half a month later, he went to the pier to carry sacks and was surprised to return the deposit, saying that he had medical skills.

It was too bad to be cured. Because his surname happened to be Han, and he came and went frequently, Aunt Yun asked him to come and take a look at Alang."

"What did Alang say?"

"Isn't it that what you want is someone who is so clear-sighted and can guard the door?"

"Then he is also willing to marry into his wife?"

"I have seen him once. He was walking beside Yun Gu, as happy as a puppy."

"Hey, Po Luhu, he's so beautiful, besides, Yun Gu's body..."

Li Zhaocheng couldn't listen anymore, turned around and walked away silently.

Just the short journey from Han Mansion back to Li Mansion, it seems that the whole Hanzhong is filled with a festive atmosphere.

The summer grain harvest is about to be harvested, and there are many people in the city holding weddings.

He was the only one who was unhappy.

After walking through the alley and returning to Li's Mansion, I saw two cooks hired by Li Yong carrying dishes to the kitchen. They couldn't allow him to interfere, so they sighed slightly and turned to the study.

Someone was guarding the entrance to the small courtyard. When he saw that it was Li Zhaocheng coming, he still stopped him. He didn't let him in until Li Yong spoke in the study.

…

In the study, Wu Qian and Li Yong were sitting across from each other and talking.

There were many official documents on the table and a mask beside it.

Since many officials in Hanzhong had seen Wu Qian, they were especially afraid of Shi Jun's sudden visit and would need to cover up temporarily.

According to Li Yong's idea, it doesn't have to be like this for a long time. When Li Xia stabilizes Longxi and even regains Guanzhong, his power may be strong enough to compete with Jia Sidao, and then he can expose Xunzhou's poisonous killing of eucalyptus.

He was not in a hurry and planned to let Wu Qian get used to Hanzhong first.

Li Zhaocheng entered the study and saluted: "I have met my father, Mr. Wu."

"sit down."

Li Yong agreed casually and continued talking to Wu Qian.

First, we talked about the "Flat Water Method", that is, how to solve the problem of water storage in disaster years and flood years after building a dam in Hanzhong to store water.

Then he talked about how to change Wu Qian's "Free Ship Law" and replace it with raising horses in Longxi, which would not only avoid forced recruitment of horse owners, but also eliminate the hidden danger of embezzlement and embezzlement by corrupt officials.

When Li Yong heard this, he nodded repeatedly, took notes, and expressed his admiration for Wu Qian's ability in governing the country and how he always adhered to the etiquette of a disciple.

"Thank you Mr. Wu for your advice. It's getting late, why not eat first?"

"No rush, no rush." ​​Wu Qian waved his hand and laughed: "We have discussed government affairs these days. How about we talk to me about how Feiyu captured Longxi? I ​​have been patiently waiting for a long time."

Li Yong smiled, with a look of pride in his eyes, which soon turned into a look for advice.

He knew very well that although Wu Qian was a civilian official and could not lead the army himself, he was an outstanding military strategist in the world.

Back then, after Duanping failed to enter Luoyang, Wu Qian proposed to prepare for the Mongolian army's counterattack and made an accurate judgment on the world situation.

It was also Shangshu who proposed the merger of the Jinghu Theater and the unified deployment of the Mongolian Communist Party, and also proposed the importance of Sichuan and Shu.

After that, the Mongolian Communist Party also proposed a three-layer fence strategy to defend Sichuan and Shu, and supported Sichuan and Shu after the Jinghu War.

From the few words he heard in Lin'an, he could keenly analyze the war situation in various places and put forward appropriate countermeasures. Just talking about military strategy and looking at the world today, no one can be considered young compared to Wu Qian.

In recent years, the late emperor just refused to use Wu Qian.

"Let me explain this to Mr. Wu in detail...Dalang, go and bring the food in."

Li Zhaocheng then stood up and left the study.

By the time he came in with the food box, Li Yong had almost finished talking to Wu Qian about the Battle of Longxi.

"..."

"I see."

Wu Qian stroked his beard and laughed for a long time, took a long drink from the pot, and then calmed down, saying: "Feiyu used Prime Minister Zhuge's plan to attack Wei twice, but he first threatened to leave Ziwu Valley, and then ambush General Zhang He.

Finally, we will march out of Qishan Road."

"yes."

"When we arrived in Gongchang, did we use Liu Zheng's twelve heroic methods to defeat Xinyang and capture the city's defenders?"

"That's exactly it." Li Yong said: "When Feiyu was making plans, the scrapped drafts were exactly the battle examples mentioned by Duke Wu."

"Good, good, the great way is simple, and the wonderful use lies in the heart."

Li Yong leaned forward, poured wine for Wu Qian, and asked: "Do you think that if you are an opponent, you can break the situation?"

"Unfortunately, Qishan Road defeated an army of 40,000, and the offensive and defensive momentum has been completely reversed. Next, Feiyu will use his strength to overwhelm others. If the opponent counterattacks Longxi, he will be defeated. If he does not counterattack, Feiyu will contain Longxi's troops.

well!"

Li Yong also smiled and poured wine for Wu Qian.

"Can we send troops to guard these Shu roads?"

"I've kept it since."

Wu Qian nodded and picked up the vegetables with chopsticks, his eyes always filled with contemplation.

A piece of fried meat in an iron pot was brought to his mouth, but he stopped.

Li Zhaocheng whispered: "This meat is a little too fried."

"Old." Wu Qian murmured: "The most important thing the Mongols pay attention to when fighting... is the word 'round'."

"What's the explanation?"

"When Temujin died, he left behind a strategy to destroy the Jin. He said that the Jin soldiers were at Tongguan and it was difficult to break through them. If he was false to us in the Song Dynasty, he would send troops to Tang and Deng to attack Bianjing... and detoured more than 3,000 people.

inside."

Wu Qian's tone was contemplative, and he murmured: "The reason why I proposed 'if the upper class survives, the country will survive, and if the upper class is destroyed, the country will be destroyed', it was based on the Mongolian fighting habit, which the Hulu learned from hunting.

The plan of good offices.

In the early days of the Mongolian army's southward march, they first attacked Jianghuai and then Jinghu. Both were unsuccessful, so they outflanked and attacked Sichuan and Shu. However, when the attack on Shu was unfavorable, they made a huge detour of tens of thousands of miles to capture Dali first. Looking at the wars in the past and present, the discussion of 'circuit'

'The word, no one can come out of the Mongolian prisoner's right..."

When Li Yong heard this, he frowned and pondered, and asked: "Young Master, do you want to tell me that the Mongolian army will bypass Jinghu and attack Hanzhong?"

He thought for a while and asked again: "No way?"

Wu Qian put down his kuaizi, waved his hand and said: "Don't rush to defend the wall, let me think carefully... How many defenders are there in Hanzhong?"

"More than three thousand people." Li Yong said: "And there are still garrisons in various states and counties. There are also garrisons in Jinniu, rice warehouses, and litchi roads. They can all arrive within three to ten days."

"Then this strategy is too dangerous and should not be used by the Mongolian army unless there is a way to quickly break through Hanzhong City."

"Since I have this concern, I should send more horses along the way to explore."

Wu Qian nodded, closed his eyes and thought, and then asked: "How many enemy soldiers were captured on Qishan Road and where were they placed?"

"Some are still repairing roads on Qishan Road, some are transporting military supplies, and some are building dams at Heshan Weir..."
