Listening to the words of the eldest Sun Hong, the generals of the Song army who were present suddenly had a circle of white sweat on their foreheads.

Many people are not familiar with the geography of Hanzhong, and they do not know that there is a road leading to Hanzhong from the Nanyang River Valley, and only a few people know the details of this road.

Therefore, when I heard that in addition to the six holes in the Qinling Mountains, there was also a road that could cross the mountains and go straight to Hanzhong, and I was shocked. The Song soldiers in Hanzhong, there are only more than 30,000 people, this is still Wang Kui supported a lot of soldiers to come over, relying on these soldiers to defend the Hanzhong Basin can be said to be stretched, if there is another way to bypass the Qinling Mountains, then the risk faced by Hanzhong is even greater.

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment they lost their minds.

Among the people here, Li Tingzhi is the most familiar with geography, so he thought for a while and said: "My lord, the Hanshui River Valley, in the summer, because of the flood season, the river water will soar, flooding the valley and lowlands, and many places will be cut off from transportation, and now it is almost mid-May, the flood season is approaching, and there is not much time left for the Beiyu, once it starts to rain, it will be difficult for them to pass through the valley again." ”

Changsun Hong nodded, turned around and sat down on a stool, and said: "You are right, the roads in the mountains are muddy on rainy days, coupled with the impact of mountain floods and raging rivers, it is difficult for large-scale troops to pass, but now there are more than 20 days before the flood season, if you are pessimistic, it will rain later, and it is possible for 50 days, these times are completely enough for Kublai Khan." ”

Enough?

Everyone looked at each other again, and Ai Zhongxiao couldn't help but ask: "This, no matter how bad Fan Yongji is, the territory is big enough, and there are enough people, it should be okay to persist for fifty days, right?" ”

Others also agreed, thinking that Fan Yongji was also a strong Han man, and his people were trained in the war to destroy Jin, and they were all capable soldiers, not incompetent, even if the Mongols were geniuses, it was difficult to eliminate Fan Yongji in fifty days.

Such a fluke psychology was shattered by Changsun Hong's words.

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you forgotten the Battle of Yehuling when the Mongols destroyed Jin?"

He looked at the crowd and said slowly.

The voice was not loud, but it immediately evoked the memory in everyone's hearts, and the tragic battle of hundreds of thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared in front of them.

The Mongols destroyed Jin, the Battle of Yehuling and the Battle of Sanfeng Mountain were the two decisive battles, the Jin Kingdom of Sanfeng Mountain lost its last elite, and in Yehuling, the Jin State lost its vitality.

In that battle, the 300,000 cavalry of the Jin general Duji Zhongtun on the border of Xijing Datong was divided and surrounded by Genghis Khan with lightning speed within ten days, and each was broken, and the Mongolian iron cavalry was like a hurricane sweeping the steppe, and the Jin army was beaten to the point that it did not even have the strength to escape.

"The geography of Henan, more hills and less mountains, the area of the Wusheng Army in Dengzhou is even more flat for thousands of miles, galloping horses to and fro freely, although Fan Yongji's army is hiding in various fortified cities, but this kind of retraction into the turtle shell is worse than the Jin country of the year, they don't say that they hold on for fifty days, I think thirty days is enough to choke."

"Don't believe it, after the city of Shangjin was broken for two days, the Mongols slaughtered the city, this is an example of killing chickens and monkeys, at least half of the remaining cities will surrender without a fight, and the resistance that Kublai Khan will encounter next will be smaller and smaller."

"When the advancing Mongol cavalry appears outside the city, the huge pressure formed will instantly destroy the fighting spirit of the defenders in the city, the Mongols like to persuade to surrender, first talk and then do not mess up, do not surrender to slaughter the city, the lobbyist's words and the consequences of the slaughter of the city are weighed, many people will choose to surrender."

"So, Dengzhou will be included in Kublai Khan's bag in about ten days, this time may be advanced, it depends on the endurance and speed of Kublai Khan's mount, as long as the horse runs fast enough, even tomorrow there will be a Mongol army advancing into the Hanshui River Valley."

The people below couldn't sit still.

Gundam stood up suddenly, clenched his fists and shouted, "My lord, I'll defend Taniguchi!" ”

The barbarian Nadazhi also stood up and shouted, "Go too!" The brute is good at mountain warfare, and this kind of river valley terrain is very suitable. ”

Changsun Hong looked at them, smiled and said nothing.

The Nine Dragons on the side spoke, he had been silent just now, and now he spoke: "Don't fight, the ghost king has already made a plan, and you just listen to the order." ”

Oh?

Gundam and Natochi, as well as a few others, were stunned for a moment, and then came to their senses.

That's right, since the ghost king has said everything, according to his personality that has calculated everything in advance, how can he not make arrangements in advance, he is the ghost king.

Changsun Hong shook his shoulders, shook the chain mail on his body for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Kublai Khan wants to pass through the Han River, but in fact, it is not so easy, this road has already been occupied, but he may not know it yet." ”

Li Tingzhi hurriedly said: "My lord, our people are just guarding the front line of the Qinling Mountains, the Hanshui River Valley, and there is no arrangement. ”

"We don't have any, but there are others." Eldest Sun Hong said: "Do you still remember the Martial Immortals? ”

Ai Zhongxiao immediately replied: "Remember, my lord is talking about the general of the Jin Kingdom, Martial Immortals, right?" ”

"It is this person, the battle of Lord Meng's fame back then was to defeat him, you were in Lord Meng's army at that time, you should be familiar with him." The eldest grandson Hong's head.

Ai Zhongxiao, Gao Gao, and Liu Quan glanced at each other, and said, "Yes, at that time, the three of us were all serving under Master Meng, and we all participated in that battle. ”

Liu Quan continued: "When the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, Wuxian went south to attack the Song Dynasty, trying to seize the land south of the Yangtze River to continue the Jin Kingdom, but was blocked in Henan by Lord Meng. However, at that time, the 100,000 soldiers of the Martial Immortals were wiped out by Lord Meng, and the remnants fled in all directions, and they had long since become an organization, could it be that there were still his people in the Hanshui River Valley? ”

"Although the martial immortal is dead, the people he brings are the last elite of the Jin Kingdom, and the quality of his will is superior." Changsun Hong explained: "Among them is Wanyan Chenghei, the son of the famous general Wanyan Chen of the Jin State, and the last few thousand people of the Jin Guozhong and filial piety army are his subordinates. ”

"Wuxian was defeated, Wanyan Chenghei fled alone, and when the situation was stable, he rushed into the Hanshui River Valley, where he gathered the old department, became the king of the mountain, did not obey the Song Dynasty and did not obey Mongolia, gradually, also gathered two or three thousand people, these people are the old department of the Jin State, fierce and tenacious, and later occupied Henan Fan Yongji can not help them, the Hanshui River Valley floods in summer and cold in winter, it is not a good place, simply go by Wanyan Chenghe."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that there was such a remnant of the Jin Kingdom in the Hanshui River Valley, but they had never heard of it.

Li Tingzhi and Changsun Hong have also been for a while, and when they heard the sound of the strings, they knew the meaning of the strings, and blinked: "What do you mean...... Could it be that you want to recruit this perfect heir? ”

"Why not?" Changsun Hong said with a smile: "This person and Mongolia, there is a common enmity, Kublai Khan's father Tuo Lei is the murderer who killed the monk Wanyan Chen, Wanyan Chenghei hates him so much that his teeth itch, Jin Guozhong and filial piety army are famous all over the world, and the combat effectiveness of our Shimen Fan barbarian army is between the best, there is such a advantage, do not take advantage of it." ”
