Mentioning this name, Dong Wenbing's voice sounded very soft, not as thick as before.
Even if the principle of "If you follow the Chinese way, you will be the master of China" has been explained by literati like them in the North, even if they have really established Kublai Khan's legal system... But when it comes to the Han and the Xiongnu,
When it comes to Huo Qubing, Dong Wenbing still can't calmly put himself on the same footing as Huo Qubing.
His shoulders were slightly slumped, and his waist was slightly bent, but his face was still calm and calm. Then he chuckled, as if he was mocking Liu Yuanzhen for comparing Li Xia to Huo Qubing, which meant "you are overestimating your abilities" to maintain
momentum.
Liu Yuanzhen asked again: "Brother Yanming, don't you know?"
"Six days."
Dong Wenbing had no choice but to reply.
He could memorize Huo Qubing's military exploits because he was too shocked by that description when he read the Historical Records when he was young.
"In the sixth day of the battle, we passed more than a thousand miles from Yanzhi Mountain. We combined our troops to kill King Zhelan, King Luhu, and Quanjia. We captured Prince Hunxie and the Prime Minister, the captain, and captured more than 8,000 people. We retired.
Slaughter and sacrifice the Tianjin people."
Liu Yuanzhen laughed.
He regained his former cheerfulness, raised his glass, took a sip, and learned to compose the Huns' lament.
"Losing me in the Qilian Mountains will make my animals no longer able to thrive; losing me in the Yanzhi Mountains will make my married woman colorless..."
When facing Zhao and Song, he said, "I am a descendant of the Khitan" because his ancestor, the Yelu family of Liao, had a superior and arrogant attitude in front of Zhao and Song.
But having taken refuge in Shandong for more than a hundred years, the Liu family has long been no different from the Han people.
The descendants of the Khitan only talk about these four words. For more than a hundred years, what else do they know about the Khitan? The ancestral tree has a big "Liu" surname.
The culture, appearance, and etiquette are all Han Chinese.
When it comes to the power of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yuanzhen does not remember the descendants of the Khitans at all. He is proud of the strength of the Han Dynasty and proud of Huo Qubing's fierce battle results.
The five kingdoms were destroyed in six days.
"What do you want to say?" Dong Wenbing couldn't stand the arrogant smile on Liu Yuanzhen's face. He shook his head and said, "Since the Han Dynasty, there have been many generals comparing themselves to Huo Qubing. How many of them can do it?"
"Yes." Liu Yuanzhen said: "Few people can do it."
"It's even more impossible for Li Xia to do it. He doesn't have the national power."
Dong Wenbing was very sure of this judgment. Liu Yuanzhen only said that Huo Qubing destroyed the five countries in six days, but did not mention the long-term preparations since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Zhang Qian to go to the Western Regions.
But Liu Yuanzhen said: "You can't compare to the Huns."
Dong Wenbing was angry and shouted: "Don't compare the Great Mongolia...the Great Mongolia with the Xiongnu."
"Look, you have a guilty conscience. Great Mongolia... is a country? Do the Mongols really think they are a country? It doesn't even have a country name."
After these words, Liu Yuanzhen did not continue to mock Dong Wenbing, but said: "You know, the land in Hexi originally belonged to the Wokuotai family. There were endless internal fights among the Mongolian kings, and Kublai Khan's control over Hexi was not as good as
The Huns at that time.”
"For the time being."
"This is the temporary battle." Liu Yuanzhen said: "On the 23rd, our king conquered Liangzhou, and on the 24th he rushed to Yongchang. The only one who killed Yongchang King was Timur. In the next ten days, he fought for more than a thousand miles.
, defeated Ganzhou, resisted the weak water, killed Qulielu, the king of Ganzhou, took advantage of the victory to enter Suzhou and Shazhou, captured Yumen Pass, and captured Huteni..."
"impossible!"
Dong Wenbing stood up suddenly.
Liu Yuanzhen just laughed.
Ever since he joined Li Xia, he has always had the feeling that although Li Xia's national power is not strong yet, he often achieves unexpected victories.
He kept winning, so Liu Yuanzhen smiled confidently.
This smile fell in Dong Wenbing's eyes, and Dong Wenbing immediately said something bad in his heart.
Although he shouted "impossible", when the two names "Kuttni" came out of Liu Yuanzhen's mouth, he knew that it was probably true.
Who is Hutheni?
She is the third queen of Ogedai Khan and the mother of Kuoduan.
In the second year of Mongke Khan's reign, Mongke allowed Hutheni to live in the west of the Kuoduan fiefdom.
The Mongols probably didn't care much about such an old woman being captured. People on the grasslands were not ashamed of such things. Even Genghis Khan's first wife was kidnapped and they never covered it up.
But the Han people in the north are concerned. Now that the country has been established and the Ancestral Temple is completed, Ogedai Khan will be Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong's third queen is trapped in the hands of the Song army...
The problem goes far beyond this. The fall of the entire Hexi region will have a serious impact on both strategy and political situation.
The scope of this influence was so large that Dong Wenbing could not think clearly for a moment. The most intuitive feeling was that it was... too fast.
It's really too fast.
Li Fen's rebellion had just been put down, only a month later.
Within a month, the army is still being mobilized here, and Li Xia has taken Hexi over there. The news may not have reached Yanjing yet...
"You are lying to me, I don't believe it."
Dong Wenbing spoke firmly and said: "This is impossible. After marching for more than a thousand miles, he has no supplies..."
"Supplies? When Huo Qubing attacked the Huns, the Huns had nothing but a horse and a bow, and they had nothing to rob. Now the Mongolian kings in Hexi are different. For several generations, they plundered their people and leaned against the mountains.
"The Kuoduan disciples have an inexhaustible supply of fine clothing and food. At the foot of the Qilian Mountains, there are herds and horses, and on the banks of the Shule River, there are herds of cattle and sheep. Is there any shortage of supplies?"
Dong Wenbing closed his eyes, as if he saw Kuoduan's fat sons being tied up like lambs by Li Xia.
When the Golden Family reached the fourth generation, it was inevitable that there would be a few losers, but these losers did not live up to the name "Gold". They all had countless wealth, and their family wealth could definitely support Li Xia's campaign in Hexi.
Liu Yuanzhen waved his hand humbly and said: "This battle cannot compare with Huo Qubing's battle in Hexi, but it can demonstrate the determination of my son-in-law of the Han family..."
His tone gradually became more solemn, and finally he spoke.
"It is advisable to hang your head in the barbarian's mansion to show that you are thousands of miles away. Anyone who offends a strong Han will be punished no matter how far away he is."
The tent was quiet for a long time.
Dong Wenbing wanted to speak several times, but was speechless.
It is really difficult for him to argue with Liu Yuanzhen from the perspective of the Great Mongolia as to who is the son of the Han family.
Putting aside this kind of sentiment, let's judge the hero based on victory or defeat... and he did indeed lose.
Liu Yuanzhen waited for a long time and suddenly took Dong Wenbing's hand.
Dong Wenbing was startled, almost thinking that Liu Yuanzhen was about to attack him. He wanted to take his hand out but was held tightly.
"Brother Yanming, please surrender."
Liu Yuanzhen had already patted the back of Dong Wenbing's hand, his tone full of sincerity.
This was his attitude when he persuaded Liu Zheng to surrender, treating him with sincerity.
"Now the land is falling apart, and the barbarians are raiding the south, causing great harm to all living beings. Heaven descended on my king. He had a far-sighted plan early, and he was wise and powerful. He calmed down the troubled times and brought peace to the world. Brother Yanming, why don't you join us in this great event, assist the Lord, protect all people, and restore the world?
The magnificence of the Han and Tang Dynasties..."
Dong Wenbing was stunned for a moment.
For a moment, through Liu Yuanzhen's eyes, he seemed to be moved.
After that, he suddenly pulled out his hand, pointed it out, and shouted: "Ha, Liu Dalang is good at using allusions."
After talking about Huo Qubing for so long, Liu Yuanzhen was just using allusions to lure him into reverie. This was a technique to persuade him to surrender, and Dong Wenbing would not easily fall into this trap.
"Li Xia stole Hexi while we were busy pacifying Li Fen. For example, Xia Gui captured Bozhou and Qingyang Mengyan attacked Cangzhou. Even if they have a small victory for a while, they will be defeated sooner or later!"
After saying that, Dong Wenbing walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
Several of his purposes for coming today, including exploring the truth in Guanzhong, persuading Liu Yuanzhen to surrender, and rescuing Dong Wenyong, were no longer possible. The conversation had given Liu Yuanzhen the upper hand.
If it were said that Kublai Khan had mobilized a large army, he could suppress his momentum, but there was no need to leak the military information so that Guan Long could prepare early.
If you continue to talk, you will only be led by the nose, so let's stop here.
…
After riding ten miles, Dong Wenbing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the troops and horses in front of him.
Although he acted calmly, he was actually afraid that Liu Yuanzhen would secretly send someone to capture him. Fortunately, nothing happened along the way.
"Brother." Dong Wenzhong came forward and said, "Ahhema sent people again, saying that Li Xia had made a surprise attack on Hexi and that the troops in Guanzhong were empty. He asked eldest brother to send troops."
Mentioning Ahema, Dong Wenbing frowned, with a look of displeasure in his eyes, and said directly: "Tell Ahema that Li Xia may have taken Hexi, and it is not advisable to take the risk and advance lightly. The army will arrive in another month, wait and see
It’s appropriate…”
Dong Wenbing actually considered that Liu Yuanzhen might be deceiving him and bluffing him so that he would not dare to act rashly.
It doesn't matter if you are bluffed, at least you won't make the same mistakes as Liu Zheng and A Shu. In short, wait until the army arrives and use force to overcome cleverness.
~~
"General, why didn't you capture Dong Wenbing?"
"What's the point of capturing him?" Liu Yuanzhen said calmly: "He is a steady man. With him here, he can still delay the Mongolian army. After capturing him, won't Dong Wenzhong immediately raise an army to invade?"
As he spoke, he sighed, as if he was lamenting that the subordinate who asked the question was too stupid.
All the way back to Jindou Pass, I saw Han Qian standing at the top of the city looking eastward.
"Han Zhonglang saw it, and I failed to persuade Dong Wenbing to surrender." Liu Yuanzhen greeted him first.
He is a person who treats others with enthusiasm no matter whether he is in a good mood or not.
"I saw it."
"That is to say, Han Zhonglang is at Jindou Pass today, otherwise I would have almost been persuaded to surrender by Dong Wenbing."
Han Qi'an smiled perfunctorily again because of Liu Yuanzhen's humor and asked, "Has Da Lang stabilized him?"
"Revealing the latest battle report brought by Han Zhonglang to him will surely scare him."
"That's good."
"It's a pity that my contribution cannot be recognized by disappearing a war."
Han Qi'an said: "Come up and attack the enemy. Dalang can be said to be a conqueror without fighting today."
"It's just a show of words."
"Better than defending the city for two months."
Liu Yuanzhen was praised and quite satisfied. After a while, he showed a sad look again and said: "I think Dong Wenbing was shocked by how quickly we took Hexi, but he still has confidence. The news must be true. Kublai Khan is really going to mobilize his army to invade.
"
Han Qi'an was also worried, nodded and remained silent.
Liu Yuanzhen thought for a while, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Since the prince has taken Hexi, he must have returned to Guanzhong, let him worry."
"Before Dalang met Dong Wenbing, I didn't dare to tell him, so as not to leak the news." Han Qian said: "Actually, the prince has not returned to the army..."
"Why?!"
Liu Yuanzhen was shocked.
He had just been talking to Dong Wenbing, and he was very aggressive. Li Xia had originally calculated that he could return to the defense in time for the Mongolian army to reach the Yellow River.
I didn't expect this to be the case.
Han Qi'an said: "I want to capture Xingqing Mansion first. Now that we have taken Hexi, we have reduced the defensive pressure in the Western Region. If we can capture Xingqing Mansion in one fell swoop before the Mongolian army invades, we can control Hetao in the north and control Zhu Zhu.
By traveling up the road, we can capture the key points of the western frontier."
At this point, his tone changed and he added: "But this was a strategy we made before we learned of the Mongolian army's massive invasion. Now, I'm afraid it's too late..."
Han Qi'an also received the news from Shandong a few days ago and hurriedly sent it to Liangzhou. Li Xia must have not received the news at this time.
Han Qi'an was not sure whether Li Xia would adjust his strategy and return to defend Guanzhong as soon as possible, so he rushed to Tongguan.
Although the situation on the Eastern Front was temporarily relieved, he gradually became uneasy thinking of the Mongolian army's massive invasion.
"I used to laugh at Li Fen's incompetence, but now I realize that he is really difficult to fight..."
