This battle took a short time, and it ended in less than half an hour.

Near the wooden fence that was braving the aftermath, Liu Heima's people were happily picking up the spoils of war, there were too many things discarded by the enemy army, all over the ground, banners, armor, weapons and ordnance, and even whole bags of grain were left on the cart that had no time to push away, and it was full of good rice grain.

The only fly in the ointment is that the decapitation is too few, mainly because the other party retreated too quickly and lost too quickly, and the two sides basically did not contact each other across the wooden fence, and after firing a burst of bows and arrows at each other, it ended because the wooden fence was breached.

After the battle, the enemy killed no more than ten people, which is really a bit unbelievable, tens of thousands of people in the battle, the arrows are flying, this casualty is unlikely.

In comparison, there are more people killed in the battle on Liu Heima's side.

Liu Heima attributed it to the result of Fan Yongji's fear of war, fighting against a group of people who didn't plan to fight to the death in the first place, sometimes there is such a situation, the other party sees that the situation is not good, turns around and runs, there are woods and mountains on both sides behind the wooden fence, and people who get into the mountains and fields, how to chase?

So after scattering the pursuit for a period of time, Liu Heima Mingjin collected his troops, collected all the people, cleaned up the battlefield, and set off again.

Breaking up Fan Yongji can be regarded as achieving the goal, although he didn't even catch the other party's hair, but he was driven to the mountain and let him be accompanied by the mountain ghosts, so that there was no threat from now on, and this chaotic battle was not in vain.

Next, it's time to go to Hanzhong.

"From here, along the road for one hundred and ninety miles, there is a small city, the city has a wall, called Xunyang, there is Xunshui flowing through the edge of the city, pouring into the Han water." Several officers sat with Liu Heima, talking around an extremely simple map, the map was full of black lines and ugly curves of the painters, representing roads and mountains respectively, and the officer who spoke pointed to a point on a thick line, and said to Liu Heima: "This city, originally garrisoned by officials of the Jin State, became a borderless land after the fall of the Jin State, and was later occupied by some stragglers who fled from the Jin State. Fan Yongji has Henan, and once mobilized troops to take back Ankang Mansion, but he was deflated in Xunyang and was defeated by these stragglers, plus it was barren and desolate, and there was no oil and water, so he simply ignored it anymore. ”

"Oh?" Liu Heima looked at Liu Chongjin, who was speaking, and laughed: "It turns out that Fan Yongji was so useless earlier, and he couldn't even clean up a few defeated mountain bandits, no wonder he was defeated so quickly today, hahaha!" ”

Liu Chongjin also laughed and complimented: "Actually, Fan Yongji is not so unbearable, his army was still very powerful when he destroyed Jin, and today he is just a handsome man, and our army is brave and neatly cleaned him up." ”

"Hehe, you kid just speaks well." Liu Heima smiled and patted his thigh, sat on the felt in the tent and happily accepted the fart: "According to this, there are several such county towns in the hundreds of miles ahead?" ”

"Exactly!" Liu Chongjin is a native of Xingyuan Mansion, although the town is not here, but he grew up here since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the geography near Hanzhong, so he became a pioneer candidate, only to hear him say: "Ankang Mansion belongs to the Yongxing Army, but because of the geographical remoteness and mostly barren land, the population is sparse, especially in the hundreds of years of confrontation between the Jin State and the Song State, this side is the frontier, and the soldiers on both sides often have small-scale frictions, resulting in the basic severance of commerce and trade from Jingxiang to Jingzhao Mansion, and the original business route on which Ankang Mansion relied for prosperity has no source, In addition to the harvest of the land, there is basically no way to make money in the Hanshui Valley, so it is becoming more and more deserted. ”

"So the four counties and one government in Ankang Mansion sound like there are many cities, but together they are not as good as a state on Hedong Road, and any place under the rule of the marshal is better than here."

Liu Heima only then specifically understood the current situation in the river valley, he touched his chin, thoughtful: "Such a poor place, it is really chicken, but it can't be given to others for nothing, we will go all the way, anyway, we have to pass by, and the right to occupy it can also save unnecessary trouble in the future." ”

As soon as his eyes gathered, he had already made a decision, and then asked his subordinates: "Where is Your Highness now?" ”

Someone replied: "In the afternoon, His Royal Highness has left Junzhou City, and I heard that when I saw Junzhou being burned, I also sent a fire." ”

Liu Heima was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, and said thoughtfully: "Junzhou is an important town, Jingxiang is in the south, and it is close to Tang and Dengzhou. ”

"Yes, Dashuai, Your Highness is angry, and it is less than a hundred miles behind us, our progress should be faster, lest Your Highness be angry and see that we are moving slowly......" Liu Chongjin said.

The words are not spoken, but they are self-evident. Liu Heima stood up at that time and shouted: "It makes sense, immediately instruct the people outside, eat early tonight, give me a quiet rest, nourish my spirit, and set off at dawn tomorrow morning, now in May, the sun rises early and sets late, the day is long, if the foot is fast, you can rush to the ground of Xunyang before sunset the night after tomorrow, otherwise Your Highness will be fast, and it will not be good to catch up with me." ”

Several thousands of households knew it and got up together to make a promise.

Kublai Khan was indeed very fast.

That night, he camped in the wilderness twenty miles outside the city of Junzhou, and spent the night.

On the second day, he entered the valley, traveled for several days, and at sunset on the third day, he arrived at the bottom of the dirt slope where Liu Heima and Wanyan Chengji fought.

Galloped nearly 300 miles in three days, this speed may not be fast for cavalry, but Kublai Khan's cavalry with him was limited, in addition to the two Mongol soldiers, there were four or five thousand Han cavalry, a total of 7,000 horsemen, and the rest of the foot soldiers were left behind.

Relying on cavalry alone, it is impossible to defeat Hanzhong City when it reaches Xingyuan Mansion, and it is impossible for cavalry to directly rush to the head of Hanzhong City.

So in order to wait for the foot soldiers who were dragging his feet, Kublai Khan had to patiently slow down, and even so, he still ran the foot soldiers tired.

The trenches on the dirt slopes were still there, the charred wooden fences and the traces of the battle were still eye-catching, and Kublai Khan set up a royal tent at the location where Liu Heima was encamped.

The information from the front was sent to Kublai Khan one after another after the account was opened.

"The pioneer Liu Heima broke through Fan Yongji's remnants two days ago, and his routs scattered and fled, and Fan Yongji escaped into the mountains and disappeared."

"The pioneer Liu Heima led his troops half a day ago, broke through the mountain bandits, and occupied Xunyang County, and the people in the city fled in all directions before the war, and the city was empty."

"Up to now, the pioneer Liu Heima has entered the vicinity of Jincheng in Ankang Mansion, and found out that there are remnants of the Jin Kingdom in Jincheng who are in rebellion in the city, and Liu Heima is ten miles away from the city and camps up, preparing to attack the city after a night's rest."

Everything went smoothly.

Judging from these news, Liu Heima has done a very good job, opening roads and building bridges when facing the enemy, and the speed of progress is also very fast, and now it is less than seven days, he has approached Jincheng, the town of Ankang Prefecture, and has penetrated nearly three hundred miles into the Hanshui River Valley, opening up half of the distance.

The first in Han can fight 10,000 households, and the name is indeed not blown.

It was getting late, and there was no one in the tent, only Kublai Khan was resting alone on a cushion.

The embers in the fire pit were glowing with red and yellow light, reflecting on Kublai Khan's face, flashing and flashing, mixed with light and dark, which was extremely strange.

His eyes were half-closed, his mind was thinking, he liked to think quietly when no one was around, and many ideas often came out at the moment.

"Liu Heima's command has 100,000 soldiers, which is much stronger than the other 10,000 households, and the territory is large enough, although Shi Tianze and others are not convinced, but if you really want to compare it, I am afraid it is not Liu Heima's opponent. The Qinfeng Road, Yongxing Army and Hedong Road under his control are the hometown of the Jin Kingdom, with many prolific horses and brilliant folk customs, and they do have the capital to be dominant. ”

"This person is powerful, and he knows how to be a person, he can be wooed, and he can be deliberately cultivated in the future to operate in the Han land. Shi Tianze is loyal and unparalleled, very reliable, and can also pay attention to cultivation, and after he grows up, he can be an opponent with Liu Heima, so as not to lose the tail alone. ”

"The rest of the 10,000 households, some are not very reliable, and they need to be screened one by one, and those who do not have a firm position are resolutely eliminated."

"After the recovery of Hanzhong, he moved the Hanchen in the palace and found an interface to gradually take over the financial power of Handi. The current ten collection offices are somewhat contradictory to the 10,000 households in the Han area, and we can stir up some contradictions from them, borrow the hands of the 10,000 households to empty the collection offices, and collect the financial power for our own use. ”

"The next step is to cultivate the light and develop secretly. If you have money and food, you can recruit troops, and the Great Mongolia has more than 100,000 soldiers, and it can't match the millions of soldiers in my Han land, Genghis Khan and Ogedei Khan attach importance to the Han land, don't they value the population size of the Han land? ”

"Hehe, Yao Shi said well, the first to emerge is not necessarily the strongest, the best show is often behind, Guiyou Khan and Badu will be injured when the two males fight, once the Khan position is unstable, I will have a chance to drag the Lei family, after all, there are many nobles at the Hulitai Conference who are towards the Tuo Lei family."

"Master Yao said that those who win the land of Han will win the world in the future, this seems to be very correct!"

"Khan, with the Khan, and the troops, sooner or later the Great Mongolia will return to the Tuolei system, father, you are in the spirit of the sky, you will be blinded when you think about it!"

Kublai Khan's gaze suddenly brightened, like the brightest star in the night sky, shining in the dark tent.
