In the darkness, Lu Xiufu faintly heard some sounds.
"Li Xia has lost his conscience..."
Lu Xiufu was too lazy to listen to this and tried his best to disperse the voice.
He has been a very independent person since he was a child.
When he was five years old, his father returned from his business trip. His brothers were asking for various toys, but he stubbornly only wanted an oil lamp.
Because I have to study all night.
Later, when he was admitted to the imperial examination at a young age, he was approached by countless important ministers, but Lu Xiufu rejected them one by one.
He only needs to work for the country and will never participate in party struggles.
Chen Cang said... He tried to recall the terrain along the way and how Li Xia marched and set up camp.
We should not be acclimatized, we still have to regain the mountains and rivers, and we still have to walk a long way.
But his body was very heavy and kept pulling him down and down.
finally……
"Bang!"
A heavy sound woke Lu Xiufu out of the darkness.
"Kill!"
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow..."
Lu Xiufu opened his eyes, and his vision was dim.
He was in a tent, and when he turned around to look around, he saw Yang Qixin, a fellow Tanhua Lang, huddled there, his body trembling non-stop.
"Brother Xin, is this... a war..."
Yang Qixin just trembled and pursed her lips.
Lu Xiufu listened and heard what he said seemed to be a poem.
"The beauty is gradually changing...the fame is late, the building is built...the tragic song is repeated again and again..."
It's not as tragic as Lu You's and brings too much fear, but Yang Qixin is obviously still trying his best to overcome it.
Lu Xiufu managed to stand up.
"boom!"
Another thing hit not far away, and a foul smell wafted over.
"There's arsenic in the smoke!"
"Corpse oil! It's corpse oil!"
"Quick, bring water! Bring water!"
"No water!"
"Heaven..."
Lu Xiufu opened the curtain and walked out.
The sky had just dawned, and there was a cloud of smoke in front of him. A soldier strode forward, neatly soaked a cloth in a bucket, and slapped Lu Xiufu on his mouth and nose.
"Hold up! There's arsenic in the smoke, Croton!"
Lu Xiufu raised his hand to cover the wet cloth, and suddenly his eyes widened.
He saw a ball of fire burning a hundred steps away, and then...a man ran out of the fire.
"ah!"
"ah!"
Screaming heart-breakingly.
It seemed to be a soldier who was hit by a fireball and was rolling on the ground desperately trying to survive.
The surrounding soldiers rushed forward, beat them with branches, and buried them with sand and soil...
"Corpse oil! It can't be destroyed!"
"Give him a good time!"
"quick!"
"Spearman! Give him a good time!"
Lu Xiufu's eyes were already red. He looked at the flaming hands raised high and struggling.
He looked at the pieces of black flesh and blood that had been patted off the body.
He wanted to close his eyes, but he still raised his feet and walked forward.
Want to end this.
This is not because he read "Wang Shibei Ding Zhongyuan Day" from a book, it's not...
~~
Finally, Bao San ran forward angrily and stabbed the struggling soldier in the heart...
"Put out the fire! Hurry..."
"Drag that civil servant back to me! Who asked him to come forward!"
Some soldiers came forward and pulled Lu Xiufu back.
He struggled for a while, but couldn't get away. He was pulled back, but his eyes were always fixed on the body on the ground.
Crying gradually began all around.
"Oh my God! I want to go back to Lin'an...Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."
"Stop howling!"
"Jun Shi." Hu Sansheng stepped forward, grabbed Lu Xiufu and walked to the top of the mountain, "Come over here... Come over here... Damn it... The Mongolian army is about to attack. You can see it from here."
Qing…that fireball just now was too close.”
"I am a civil servant..."
"Shut up……"
There were such quarrels all around. Lu Xiufu glanced at them and felt that these green and blue official robes were dazzling.
Hu Sansheng kept panting and said: "Zan Wanshou... Zan Wanshou was too courageous and rushed into the archers... I don't know where he went... Damn, damn! It's really a war! Ah!
"
"ah."
Lu Xiufu finally yelled.
He is still delicate and his voice is not loud.
But with this roar, the sounds in my ears finally stopped being noisy, and the surroundings seemed to become quiet.
He looked north, his pupils trembled, and he exclaimed: "That's Guanzhong?!"
In front of you is Guanzhong...
~~
Lu Xiufu has read many books and seen many maps.
He thought that Hanzhong and Guanzhong, the two plains separated by the Qinling Mountains, were on the same plane... but they were not.
Hanzhong is at least several thousand feet higher than Guanzhong.
This time we walked all the way through Chencang Road. Every time Lu Xiufu looked up at the unsharp cliffs above his head, he was amazed at the height of the Qinling Mountains.
But it wasn't until now, when he left the Shu Road and looked north... that he realized that he had always been "above" the Qinling Mountains.
The Qinling Mountains are truly rising from the ground in Guanzhong!
"Pull the ground", Lu Xiufu chewed these two words, his scalp felt numb.
The Guanzhong Plain became an abyss beneath his feet, as if he were standing in the sky looking at the world.
"Amazing workmanship! Amazing workmanship!"
If Hanzhong is not recovered, I am afraid that his generation of Song ministers will never see such a magnificent scene.
Only when you see it with your own eyes can you understand what "the road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"
What does "the iron horse disperse in the autumn wind!"
What is "Where is Yunheng Qinling's family?"
…
Dashan Pass was behind him, and Lu Xiufu found himself standing on a high mountain northeast of Dashan Pass.
There are cliffs on the north, east, and south sides of this mountain. Only the west side has a trail going up the mountain, and the intersection of the trail is in the narrow canyon of Chencang Road.
The Mongolian troops on the plains of Guanzhong were like ants, but they could not climb the high Qinling Mountains and could only swarm into the canyon of Chencang Road.
But they didn't attack Dashan Pass either.
Dashan Pass is blocked in the south, and the cannons shoot out huge rocks and hit the Mongolian army, but they just rush to the mountain risking their lives and build cannons on the mountainside against the rocks and trees...
Lu Xiufu looked at it for a long time and suddenly asked: "What mountain is this? Why is Commander Li stationed here?"
Because he found that this hilltop did not have much strategic significance.
If you want to enter Guanzhong, you cannot jump from here. You still have to go down the mountain and take Chencang Road, which is far less convenient than leaving the pass.
Moreover, the terrain here is too high and narrow, making it difficult to transport food and grass, making it difficult to defend for a long time.
"I don't know." Hu Sansheng said: "This place is completely useless. You can neither advance in nor retreat, and you can't reach the Great San Pass."
Lu Xiufu asked again: "Then why did the Mongolian army attack so forcefully? They still let us kill and injure them."
"The devil knows." Hu Sansheng shook his head and said: "At dawn, the Mongolian army attacked like crazy. They think human life is worthless, right? It's so fucking worthless..."
Lu Xiufu looked at the tragic scene in the canyon and became increasingly confused...
~~
Fengxiang Mansion.
Liu Heima is still planning to join forces with the Wang family and fight against Hunduhai.
At this time, the Song army successively entered Dashan Pass, Baima Pass, Xiegu Pass, Luogu Pass, and Ziwu Pass, intending to blockade Hanzhong.
This thing... is so annoying.
In fact, it doesn't matter if the Song Army seizes the Shu Pass. Anyway, it is impossible for the Song Army to dare to leave the pass; but if they don't seize it back, they will lose face after all.
Therefore, when Cao Cao and Liu Bei faced each other in Hanzhong, they felt that this was tasteless food and a pity to discard.
Liu Heima still wanted to save his face, so he dispatched some troops, hoping to take advantage of the Song army's unstable foothold to seize these passes.
But that day, Liu Yuanzhen came over to report: "Father, Dasanguan reported that there was support from the Song Army, and it was Li Xia who came in person."
Liu Heima turned his head, very surprised.
"If Shuzi didn't go to consolidate Hanzhong, why would he go to Dashanguan to do it? The ghost is still there."
"He also sent a message to ask his father if he had forgotten that he still had prisoners in his hands."
"Shameless."
Liu Yuanzhen said: "If Li Xia is not shameless, how can he say such nonsense as 'Brother Ali sincerely admires the dignity of the Han family'?"
Liu Heima frowned and walked to another map in the hall.
"Deduction."
Liu Yuanzhen stepped forward, nodded at Dashan Pass, and said: "The Song army has two thousand troops stationed at Dashan Pass, and Li Xia personally led 1,500 reinforcements."
Liu Heima pondered: "Only this few people?"
"Yes." Liu Yuanzhen said: "And he did not station his troops at Dashan Pass, but went up to Crouching Tiger Mountain."
"Crouching Tiger Mountain?"
Liu Heima was familiar with the terrain, but had never heard of the name of the mountain.
Liu Yuanzhen said: "A few miles north of Dashan Pass, there is a small road heading east in the canyon, which leads to Wohu Mountain. This is not an important place, but the mountain is high and difficult to attack."
"How much baggage weight?"
"The sentries did not notice that the Song army was carrying baggage. They could not stay on the mountain for a few days."
"Damn."
Liu Heima cursed lightly and understood completely.
The Shu Road has become useless. Instead of sending troops to seize it, it would be more beneficial to attack Li Xia.
However, the terrain in the Qinling Mountains is easy to defend and difficult to attack. To attack, it requires a large number of troops and time.
Li Xia obviously wanted to attract his attention so that the Song army could gain a foothold at various passes.
This is not a question of whether we can beat him or not, but...here we are still fighting for a plate of delicacies, and there is a tasteless chicken rib next to us, and another dog rushes out to grab it.
Let’s give in for the time being, and then we can destroy the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop when the battle for the throne of Khan is settled...
"Don't pay attention to him."
Liu Heima's interest was greatly reduced and he walked away impatiently, thinking about his plan to defeat Hundu Hai.
This is the first battle for the throne. It is the most important thing and cannot be distracted.
"Father, can you let the child go?" Liu Yuanzhen said: "If we can block the canyon north of Dashan Pass, when the Song army runs out of food and grass, we may be able to capture Li Xia and rescue the fifth brother and second uncle."
"That's the Shu Road."
"His flag is still planted on our heads." Liu Yuanzhen sneered and said, "Now that he's here to provoke us, I really want to play with him."
Liu Heima pondered.
This is another conspiracy, but it’s really heartwarming, and it can’t save many lives anyway…

Crouching Tiger Mountain.
Lu Xiufu finally saw Zan Wanshou running by, and quickly waved and shouted.
"Tianqing! Do you know what important place this mountain is? Why did the Mongolian army attack it so forcefully?"
Zan Wanshou got a suit of armor from somewhere. He was quite excited. He raised his hand and pointed and said, "Brother Junshi, you will know where you are."
Lu Xiufu turned around and saw a big flag flying high on the mountain.
Zan Wanshou's tone was different from before, and he was a little excited, and said: "The Mongolian army came for Li Shuai. They are taking human lives like this to surround Li Shuai!"
Lu Xiufu was stunned, and suddenly felt something in his heart. He seemed to be looking forward to the day when the Mongolian army would have thousands of people just to surround and kill him...
