Brother Mo has become obsessed with health these days.4
He ordered people to slaughter a cow every day and put himself into the cow's belly, hoping that the injuries on his body would be healed. 4
Wang Zhongchen, Lai Abachi stood in the big tent, looking at Brother Mo with a "human head and an ox body" placed among the blood on the ground. He was also baffled for a moment. 4
"Prince Zong, what are you..."
"You don't understand the benefits of cow blood." 1
This is a wonderful trick used by Mongolian doctors to treat injuries, so Mongolian doctors are often known as miracle doctors.10
Brother Mo felt the wrapping of the beef belly and it was a bit difficult to speak, so he asked: "Did you find out clearly?"
"Yes, the Song army should have come from Chengdu." Wang Zhongchen said, "I estimate that Liu Heima was defeated by Li Xia..."
"Li Xia."
Brother Mo closed his eyes and murmured.
This was not the first time he heard Li Xia's name.
As early as in Qingju City, when he was having peace talks with Lu Wende, Lu Wende said, "I have Wang Jian, Zhang Jue, and Li Xia under my command to defeat an army of 100,000 including you. It's even more appropriate for me to have my army personally..."
Lu Wende obviously did this on purpose, not wanting the Mongols to bear the grudge against him for the death of the Great Khan. The lessons of Jin and Xixia lie there.
At that time, the envoy reported that Brother Mo only thought that Li Xia was one of the guards of Diaoyu City and had the same name as Li Xia from Chengdu.
Just like there are many "Batu Battles" on the grassland.
This sounds stupid, but Han people's names have many accents and are not as literal as Mongolian names. In fact, it is very, very difficult for them to recognize them.
In addition, Chengdu and Diaoyu City are too far apart.
Looking back now, the context of many things becomes clear.
"Prince Zong, is it possible that Li Xia first defeated Niulin and then Liu Heima, then rushed to Diaoyu City and then to Chengdu, so the Song Army in Chengdu was able to defeat him so quickly..." 5
"Ehxiute!"
Brother Mo cursed endlessly.
"E Xiu Te! E Xiu Te! Several marshals, sect kings, and the Great Khan have died! Why don't you mark where Li Xia is and how many troops he has every time on the map?!" 8
Coming to Abachi, Wang Zhongchen looked at each other.
Wang Zhongchen had no choice but to order someone to call Yang Dayuan over.
The four of them discussed in Chinese and Mongolian for a long time.
Brother Mo finally discovered a very ridiculous fact.
So far, Li Xia is basically an extremely small official in the Song Dynasty.2
Before all this happened, he had no nominal power to command the troops.
When his name appears in the Mongolian army battle report, it will always be preceded by a string of names of Song generals, Shi Jun, Pu Zezhi, Zhang Shi, Zhu Xusun, Yi Shiying, Wang Jian, Zhang Jue... 3
It was also impossible for the Mongolian army to find where Li Xia's troops were when marking the distribution of the Song army's troops on the map.⑧淒七z.℃
"Wulianghetai, Abgan, Atahu, Niulin, Wang Dechen, Borika...our great Mongolian country has lost so many marshals in battle, why?! Why is he still such a young official?!" 7
"I don't know." Yang Dayuan responded.
"What did he say?" Brother Mo asked.
"Prince Zong, he said that Zhao and Song were too stupid and would be destroyed by the Mongols..." Wang Zhongchen replied. 5
Brother Mo was furious.2
"This makes me look too stupid! Do you understand? Fighting such a stupid enemy makes me look like a blind, stupid cow!" 3
Coming to Abachi, Wang Zhongchen looked at Brother Mo wrapped in the belly of the cow and was speechless for a moment. 2
…
In any case, the Jianmen Pass in front of you is lost. Either fight through it, or turn around and take the rice warehouse road.
Of course, there are other ways.
For example, attack Chengdu directly, then go down the Yangtze River to Lu, then detour thousands of miles to Lu Wende's rear, break through Chongqing, go down the Yangtze River, join forces with Kublai Khan, and attack Lin'an.
If things come to pass, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed.
If the person in Mo Ge's situation at this time were Meng Ge, Kublai Khan, Hulagu, Ali Bu Ge... or Li Xia, they would definitely have such courage. 2
But Mo Ge didn't.
He does not need it.
All he had to do was get out of the cow's belly and give an order.
"Take the Micang Road and let me see if Lu Wende dares to fight with the warriors of the Great Mongolia in a field battle."
Yes, his brother Mo is a mediocre person compared to his half-brothers.
But compared to other generals in the world, Mo Ge was also one of the top ones, leading an army of more than 50,000 people and fighting steadily.
Who can stop him?3
Lizhou is separated from Hanzhong by the Daba Mountains. To get to Hanzhong, you have to cross the long and rugged Jinniu Road. It actually belongs to the boundary of Sichuan and Shu.
But it is north of Jianmenguan and is naturally separated from Sichuan and Shu.
Therefore, he could become the forward position for Mongolia to attack Shu.
When Wang Dechen was stationed here, he did not need to transport grain and grass from Hanzhong, nor did he worry about the Song Dynasty's counterattack.
So, after taking Jianmen Pass, there are two roads before Li Xia.
The first is to attack Lizhou and then counterattack Hanzhong along Jinniu Road. If everything goes well, the Mongolian army can be blocked before it reaches Hanzhong from Micang Road.
The second is to seize the Jianmen Pass, close the door and beat the dogs, and drag the Mongolian army in Sichuan and Shu. If we can defeat the Mongolian army, we can take advantage of the great victory to break Lizhou and attack Hanzhong.
Li Xia did not make a decision rashly.
He was very worried that Brother Mo would go straight to Chengdu.2
Because if it were him, he would definitely make this choice.
Li Xia then sent a large number of sentry horses to observe the Mongolian army's situation from a distance.
…
In the night, the cliffs on both sides of Jianmen Pass still look scary.
The cheers of the Song army did not stop for a long time.
You can still hear Liu Jinsuo yelling from a distance.
"Brothers, look here! This guy Pifeng is really brave. Haha, with my old Liu style, I can jump over such a dangerous cliff in one leap. Even my body cannot climb up...
"
"Brother Pi, what were you thinking at that time?"
"How can I even think about it? I'm so scared that I lost my mind..."
"Haha, you didn't see how frightened those Mongolian troops were. I was attacking the city from the south at that time. When I saw the Mongolian troops turning their heads, they thought the gods were coming down and peed their pants... Yang Shameian, please say something.
Ah, you have a few tricks up your sleeve this time..."
"Ordinary things, nothing to say..." 2
Li Xia listened to this all the way to the top of the city.
The wind is strong and a little quieter.
Kong Xian was standing on the top of the city. He turned around and said, "Don't worry, General Li. You can go and have a rest first. I will guard the city and will never lose it."
He has guarded Yunding City for more than ten years, and he is indeed confident to say this.
"It's not that I can't trust General Kong. I'll wait for the sentry horse to come back."
Kong Xian walked to Li Xia, pointed to the north, and said: "Shixian and I have another assignment. We are stationed in Lizhou. Ha... we are officials in Lizhou."
At this point, I don’t know what to say.
Xiao Shixian was dead, but Kong Xian still wanted to take up his post in Lizhou with his legacy.
"Shuai Yu also fought back here back then, and Marshal Pu also fought back here last year." Kong Xian patted the battlements and said, "I'm really afraid it's just a dream again."
These words sounded familiar to Li Xia.
He turned his head and asked: "General Kong, do you think we should attack Lizhou first or Moge first?"
"If you ask me, attack Lizhou first." Kong Xiandao, "The Mongolian Lord is dead. I don't believe Brother Mo dares to go to Chengdu."
This is the difficulty of being a commander than being a general. You also have to consider the overall situation.
At this time, there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance, indicating that the sentry horse was coming back.
"Report! Lu Shuai's army is behind the Mongolian army. Lu Shuai invites the general to attack the Mongolian army together..." 21
