Liu Heima was supported by Li Zhaocheng and sat up on the bed.
His face was pale and green, and his eyes seemed to have a lifeless look.
Death energy is not a real thing, but it can actually be seen through the layer of stiffness and gray color.
He raised his hand with difficulty and asked Zhang Hongdao to sit down opposite him. Liu Heima said slowly: "Where did we talk about last time... the Semu people on Fulu Road in Chengdu, when the Mongolian army occupied Chengdu."
"I've said it before." Zhang Hongdao responded: "My nephew will arrange the population under his control."
"Okay, okay, have I told you about water conservancy and farmland? There are too many disabled people in Chengdu who are unable to farm, but they can do handicrafts. When the prince passed by at the end of last year, he discussed with me how to manage it.
Tea and horse trade, secondly, Chengdu should produce famous products that are not inferior to Jiangnan, Sichuan fan, Shu brocade, Shu paper, Shu engraving, as well as the new cotton spinning, wine making... Don't think that they are just small things, they are actually the way to prosperity.
.”
"Liu Gong doesn't need to worry about these things. Recuperation is more important." Zhang Hongdao responded: "Since my nephew has come to Chengdu to serve, he must do a good job."
"We northerners must not lose to Zhang Jue in governing the local area. We must do better than the previous two years."
After Liu Heima finished speaking to Zhang Hongdao, he turned to look at Li Zhaocheng and said: "A few days ago, Wu Lang said that I was hypocritical... He thought I was asleep and told you, 'I have been killing people all my life. When I get old, I pretend to be
Come on benevolence and righteousness, Wulang doesn't understand me."
"Fifth brother just saw that you refused to rest and said something angrily." Li Zhaocheng said: "The king said that when Yue Weng was appointed to govern Chengdu, what he valued was that Yue Weng saved tens of thousands of people in Henan.
Benevolence and righteousness.”
"I know that my illness will never be cured. Before I leave, I can work more on state affairs and die without regrets... As for hypocrisy or not? We people are already extremely rich, so we want to leave a name in history, and we also want to
To protect the family, the country, and the world, I really want to have a posthumous name..."
Zhang Hongdao did not expect Liu Heima to have such a side. Although they were both princes in the past, he thought Liu Heima was a rough military commander.
"Mr. Liu's words are serious. You are ten years younger than my father. You can rest for a while and recover."
Halfway through his words, Zhang Hongdao turned around and felt something moving outside. He said again, "It's time for Brother Zhongju to come back. My nephew went to greet him."
Liu Dalang has come back in a hurry, who really believes that he can recover from his illness?
~~
"Prince, what are you thinking about?" Liu Jinsuo approached Li Xia and waved.
"I'm thinking about how many people's destinies I have changed and how much I have changed."
Liu Jinsuo didn't understand its meaning.
He has never been a believer of the Qingming Cangtian Sect. In his heart, he sometimes felt that Li Xia was a bit pretentious, and he always felt that followers like Hu Legen were extremely stupid.
But at this time, Li Xia was thinking about things very seriously, which made Liu Jinsuo feel a sense of mystery.
…
Recently, Li Xia had contact with Lu Wenhuan, and sent Liu Yuanzhen back to Chengdu to see Liu Heima for the last time, and then to confront his enemy Liu Zheng... He couldn't help but wonder whether the fate of these people had changed because of him.
These famous generals were very famous in the world, but they are somewhat unknown in history books. They are far less famous than Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Song Jiang, Fang La, and even not as well-known as Tong Guan, so Li Xia doesn't know much about them.
What he was thinking was that Lu Wenhuan must not have been able to defend Xiangyang originally. I wonder if he can defend it this time?
As for Liu Heima, maybe he was defeated several times by him, so he was seriously injured and died early?
It had only been two years since he surrendered, and Liu Heima had been in charge of Chengdu for more than a year. He died before he could enjoy the blessings of surrender. Li Xia felt a little shortchanged for him.
Thinking about it, he should build a great dynasty so that he can leave his name in history better than before...
After a while, Li Xia saw brothers Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui walking around behind Liu Jinsuo, and Li Xia was thinking about their original fate?
In fact, even though he has been crowned king, sometimes the things Li Xia thinks about are so childish and silly...

Longmen Ferry.
Longmen Ferry, also known as "Yumen Ferry", is located in Hejin County, Hezhong Prefecture, Shanxi.
It is the first ferry crossing of the Yellow River after it passes through the Qin-Jin Grand Canyon. It has been an important transportation pass between Shanxi and Shaanxi since ancient times.
Longmen is a port where merchants gather and goods are distributed. It leads to northern Shaanxi in the north, down to Tongguan, to Henan in the east, and to Guanzhong in the west. At its peak, there were thousands of ships passing through every day.
Of course, the Yellow River is different from the Yangtze River. The Yellow River is unlikely to be a natural barrier against northern cavalry because it easily freezes in the middle of winter. This is the case with Longmen Ferry. In spring, summer and autumn, you can ferry across the river by boat, and in the middle of winter you can cross the river on ice...
…
On the seventh day of May, Liu Zheng followed Ahema to the river beach. Looking up, he saw the Qin-Jin Grand Canyon to the north and the Hancheng area in Guanzhong to the west.
"The reason why the last general chose to train his water division at Longmendu was because there was a Grand Canyon to the north with fast water flow... At that time, General Lou Su of the Jin Kingdom crossed the ice from Longmendu into Guanzhong and captured Hancheng and Heyang.
, so the Jin Kingdom annexed Guanzhong."
Liu Zheng raised his finger and pointed at the mountain, and finally said: "If we want to attack Guanzhong, we only need to wait until the middle of winter. By then, Li Fen's rebellion has been put down, and all the armies have been transferred back, and they can cross the Yellow River on ice. In addition,
Marshal A Shu marches into Longxi, and if the east and west attack together, Guanzhong will be captured..."
Hearing this, Ahema nodded.
He is a Hui Hui, with a typical Hui Hui appearance, black hair and deep eyes, a high nose bridge, a mustache that flies upward, and two braids hanging by his ears, making him look a bit cunning.
Ahema was originally the dowry slave of Queen Chabi, so he gained the trust of Kublai Khan.
Although he nodded at this time, as if he agreed with Liu Zheng's strategy, he later said: "Marshal Liu is right, but what the Great Khan is most worried about is the rebels in the north, Brother Ali."
He knows some Chinese, but his accent is weird.
Liu Zheng felt uncomfortable listening, but continued to listen patiently.
"So, Marshal Liu is needed to train a navy. In this way, it is possible to capture Guanzhong before the winter comes."
"I understand." Liu Zheng nodded.
Ahema asked again: "Do you think it is really necessary to put down Li Fen's rebellion first and then wait until the Yellow River freezes in the middle of winter?"
"The general just thinks that is the best situation." Liu Zheng said: "But even with the current troops and ships, it is possible to cross the Yellow River and capture Guanzhong. But it requires the cooperation of Marshal A Shu and Yang Dayuan."
Ahema pulled his beard and looked at Liu Zheng, his eyes bright.
He was better at financial management, and he was still willing to reuse Liu Zheng's talents in the military.
Ahema also had a battle report from Nanyang in his hand. He did not rush to take it out, but just smiled and said: "Then please tell Marshal Liu how we can defeat that cunning Li Xia."
Liu Zheng raised his hand to guide him and said: "There is a map on the ship, please..."
…
"Now, Yang Dayuan builds a pontoon bridge in Mengmenjin. He can cross his troops into the Suide area at any time, and then go south to attack Yan'an Prefecture. Yanzhou is known as 'the key to the Three Qin Dynasties and the five-way throat'. Li Xia arranged the troops here
We don't have many troops. Once we capture it, we can pose a threat to Chang'an.
Marshal A Shu has taken over the troops of Liangzhou and has reorganized the elite cavalry that penetrated the Song Dynasty. It can be said that it is a great army. The elite cavalry rushes in and out like the wind and is unstoppable. This cavalry does not even need to attack the city and plunder the stronghold.
They have to rush into Longxi, then break into Guanzhong, and continue to plunder, which will make Li Xia tired of dealing with it.
We can send troops and horses to cross the Yellow River from Longmen, and with the cooperation of the navy, we can take Hancheng first and then go down to Heyang. After that, we can go all the way north to cooperate with Yang Dayuan, attack from the front and back, and capture Yan'an Prefecture. At this time, the entire Guanzhong is in chaos.
Form a regiment. The Song army stationed along the Yellow River must return to defend Yan'an Prefecture and Marshal A Shu's cavalry.
Adding up the troops stationed in Chang'an, Weinan, Lantian, Shangzhou, Wuguan and other places, the Song army still has about 10,000 troops, which can allow the cities in Nanyang to attack Wuguan and contain these troops in Guanzhong.
In this way, our other troops and horses can cooperate with the navy to go down the Yellow River, first capture Huayin, then attack from both sides with the Henan troops and horses, and then capture Tongguan. Look, the gate in Guanzhong is wide open and can be easily obtained."
After Liu Zheng finished talking, he took a picture of the map and looked determined in his movements.
Ahema nodded with satisfaction, then took out a few pieces of information and asked: "If the main force in Guanzhong is no longer here, how much easier will it be to get it?"
Liu Zheng took the information and read it for a while, then gradually frowned.
He stretched out his hand and first pulled out a war chess piece on the map. It was Dong Wenbing's 10,000 troops east of Tongguan.
"This part of the troops is missing."
After that, he picked up a war chess that had been placed in Liangzhou and murmured: "Has Marshal A Shu integrated his troops?"
"That's almost it." Ahema spread his arms and said, "You can believe that he, Wu Liangha A Shu, is good at fighting."
Liu Zheng looked at Ahema for a while and saw that he did not provide accurate information, only this sentence.
"Well, wait until the first half of the month and January, and there will be news from Marshal A Shu."
Ah He immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand, took away the two red war chess pieces placed on the bank of the Yellow River on the map, and said: "Zhang Jue, the main force of 20,000 is gone."
Liu Zheng avoided his burning gaze, lowered his head and looked at the information handed over by Shi Tianze for a while, and finally said: "Zhang Jue mobilized 20,000 main troops to attack Nanyang... There are still troops stationed in various places in the pass, and Nanyang has no spare power to attack Wuguan.
It poses a threat.”
"Okay, Shi Shuai is in Nanyang, and he will attack Wuguan from Nanyang."
As Ahema said, he placed the war chess piece representing Dong Wenbing that had been taken away by Liu Zheng back on the map and placed it in Nanyang's position.
"Our troops are not short, and we have 10,000 more troops than Shi Shuai."
Liu Zheng asked: "Won't Shi Shuai go to Shandong to quell the rebellion?"
"His nephew died at the hands of Li Xia. He could capture Wuguan first and then put down the rebellion before it was too late."
"Is it too late?"
"It won't take more than a few days."
Ahema seemed a little excited and said: "Conquering Guanzhong, does Marshal Liu think it's okay?"
Liu Zheng knew why Ahema was so eager.
for money.
This is a Huihui who is very good at managing money, and he is very generous. He is much more generous than Jia Sidao and Lu Wende. Liu Zheng has also benefited a lot recently.
"Okay, don't worry, Tan Ma will be back soon. When we determine where Zhang Jue's main force is..."
