In a word, under the ruthless strangulation of the imperial court, the Tang Sect has declined, the backbone elements are dead and fleeing, Lin Laosi has no choice but to gather and flee from all over the loyal brothers and sisters under Lin Laosi, all the hole cards have been uprooted, and the halls in various places have been destroyed, and the foundation that has been painstakingly operated for a hundred years has been wiped out, except for secretly sending it to lick the wounds on the territory of Changsun Hong, and no longer dare to make a noise.

Sending him to Tubo also means to avoid the limelight, after all, Sichuan is also the world of the Song Dynasty, and Lin Lao Sishu is a big move, and it is also troublesome for someone to be recognized by accident. The eldest grandson Hong didn't want to have more rights and wrongs because of the affairs of the Tang Sect.

Staying in Hanzhong with the eldest grandson Hong was Li Tingzhi.

This person is brave and strategic, although he is a little inexperienced in battle, and he has some instinctive cold sweat in the face of the sea of corpses and blood, but who doesn't have a process? Even the butcher who killed the pig couldn't help but tremble when he pinched the knife and stabbed the pig's neck for the first time, let alone killing? Changsun Hong felt that after the first battle in Hanzhong, Li Tingzhi would follow the right path to the footsteps of famous generals, and he would become more and more calm and rapid. Helping this famous boss in history is also a merit of Changsun Hong.

At this moment, the two of them were standing in a lobby of the Handsome Mansion in Hanzhong, talking to the sand table.

The sand table is very large, the mountains and rivers of the city are unobstructed, the entire Sichuan Gorge four roads plus Qinfeng Road are on it, very detailed, small to the subtleties of the direction of a river are marked very clearly, this of course still depends on the credit of the Ran brothers, these two are simply born geographers, stepping all over the green mountains and rivers, the pen is born to paint, an accurate and rarely wrong map was born on the knees of the two people as a drawing board support, Changsun Hong relied on these maps, the outline of the map was copied out, in a three-dimensional form, Revert to the sandbox.

Li Tingzhi looked at a protrusion on the sand table with a worried face, where brown clay was kneaded into the shape of a hill, a small strip of cloth was pasted on it, and the three small characters "Qingniling" written in cinnabar were very eye-catching on the brown clay.

"There are only 5,000 people under Natuozhi's hands, but this mountain is full of passages, it is difficult to guard, and the news from the front says that Wang Liangchen has brought 50,000 people......" Li Tingzhi looked at Changsun Hong, who was standing silent: "No matter how you look at it, it is very dangerous." ”

"Lord Wang Kui has already sent reinforcements over, calculate the schedule, and it will arrive in a few days." Changsun Hong's eyes did not leave the sand table, and kept spinning around, staring here for a while, and looking there for a while.

Li Tingzhi licked his lips, he felt that Changsun Hong did not correctly understand the meaning of his words: "Chengdu to Qingniling, no matter how day and night you travel, you can't get to the place in half a month, Lord Wang's reinforcements are mostly foot soldiers, and the ordnance and armor are heavy, I'm afraid that the schedule will be a little slower, and Na Tuozhi will ...... there."

"Don't worry." Changsun Hong interrupted him, and there was no trace of worry on his face full of healthy wheat complexion because of what Li Tingzhi said: "Even if Natuozhi dies in Qingniling, he will not let the Mongolian soldiers step half a step over the mountain. ”

And when he spoke, his eyes did not look in the direction of Qingniling, but at the edge of Qin Feng Road, which was close to the limit of the sand table, and there was nothing outside.

Li Tingzhi felt a little strange in his heart, he also glanced in that direction, and knew that the places close to Mo Nan and Shanxi were all the territory of Mo Nan Wan Hu.

Well, that piece is very important, Li Tingzhi also understands that the next step that Changsun Hong will focus on must be the ten thousand households who can be called powerful in these places, after all, the main force of the Mongols is in the west, and the rule of these places depends on the Han ten thousand households, and controlling them is equivalent to controlling the north.

But that's a shadowless thing, it's not that Li Tingzhi doesn't believe in Changsun Hong's ability, but now it seems that it is still a little too early, and he can lay out chess pieces and operate carefully, but the most critical thing at the moment is the Mongolian soldiers in front of Qingniling.

Once Qingniling is lost, Xingyuan Mansion Hanzhong is like a stripped-naked little lady, exposed to Wang Liangchen without concealment, when his troops are in the city, Changsun Hong, who can't even get together two thousand soldiers at hand, can there be any other way than to run away?

So looking at the way Changsun Hong absentmindedly touched his chin and thought about other problems, Li Tingzhi was anxious and angry.

He cleared his throat and wanted to say a few words about this matter before he opened his mouth, which was bound to attract the attention of Changsun Hong.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Changsun Hong touched his chin and spoke first.

"Xiangpu." He called Li Tingzhi's words, and the ancients used to call them words to people who were familiar with and close to him, and Changsun Hong was no exception: "You said, if your uncle and cousins are jealous of your family property and want to rob your things, will you be angry?" ”

Li Tingzhi was stunned for a moment and didn't understand.

didn't get a response, Changsun Hong glanced up and said with a smile: "Forget to forget, Xiangpu is a humble gentleman, the family is naturally a type of person, of course there will be no such shameless fratricide." ”

Li Tingzhi's face was red and white, he didn't know how to answer, he stood there, dumbfounded, and held back a sentence for a long time: "Big, my lord, where do you start with this?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just making an analogy, but I'm getting it wrong." Changsun Hong patted him on the shoulder and said: "Let me put it another way, there is a person, his family is rich and rich, and the family's fields are not visible at a glance, uh, anyway, he is very rich, and he has many relatives, and he gave a lot of land to his relatives, and then this man died, and his son inherited the family property, if an uncle comes to the door at this time, saying that these family properties cannot belong to him, but to his uncle, you say, will this family be chaotic?" ”

Li Tingzhi pondered for a while, as a staff member, he was a little involved in Changsun Hong's daily thoughts, although he didn't know much about the self-contained dark ghosts, but he also understood that Changsun Hong had inserted a nail in the internal power struggle in Mongolia, and had been laid out for a long time, and the problem at this time was probably related to this.

"This person must not be convinced, the son inherits the father's business, it is justified, how can there be an uncle to intervene?" Li Tingzhi shook his head and said: "This move is not in line with the ethics of Gangchang, and it will definitely be chaotic." ”

Changsun Hong laughed, and said twice: "Yes, we Han people seem to be against common sense, not to mention the barbarians on the grassland, they don't talk about common sense, but they talk about reality, what is practical?" The territory of the population in the hands is the reality. ”

He waved his fist: "In the words of Genghis Khan, if you want to rob my people and land, I will fight with you!" ”

Walking to the table to the side, he took a sip of water.

"The rich man's house is in turmoil, and he is still in the mood to take care of the tenants?" The eldest grandson Hong, who drank the water, continued: "The ten thousand households of the Han land are those tenants, and of course they are not qualified to intervene in the internal war of their master, Mongolia, if at this time, someone becomes their new master, but it is an excellent opportunity. ”

Li Tingzhi listened silently, the more he listened, the more he understood, the more he listened, the brighter his heart became, he was a very smart person, and many things didn't need to be explained too clearly.

"Your Excellency, this is ...... Take millet from the fire and profit from the chaos! His eyes lit up a little.

However, the calmness in his personality made Li Tingzhi immediately say: "However, the adult's clever plan to mess up Mongolia should be the next step of the plan, whether it succeeds or not, you have to get through the current difficulties first." How is the Qingniling in front of him the enemy? ”

The eldest grandson shook his head, lowered his head and looked at the sand table: "Xiangpu Ji hangs on Qingniling, why shouldn't I?" Natuozhi is bold and resolute, follow me all the way out of Dali, it is one of my arms, if there is a mistake, no one can make up for it, I care more about Qingniling than you. ”

Li Tingzhi's expression was confused, and he said hesitantly: "That's the case...... Why don't adults seem worried? ”

"Because I know that as long as Wang Kui's reinforcements arrive, the siege of Qingniling will be solved, but it is only a matter of time before it is resolved." The eldest grandson Hongdao, he approached the sand table, and pointed to a thin white line under the Qingni Ridge: "Wang Liangchen is a fierce general, I have heard of it, he followed his father Wang Shixian to kill the famous general Cao Youwen in Sichuan many years ago, since then there is no soldier in Sichuan who can fight with the Mongolian army, and there is no general, this person's head is successful, and it can be very useful for us to revive our morale." ”

"You see, this line is the White River, the White River meanders for 500 miles, flows from Tubo, flows to Qingniling, is blocked by the mountain, wraps around the mountain, and then goes east. Invisibly, the river has actually become a waterway around the mountains. ”

Changsun Hong explained: "I brought a message to Wang Kui, the reinforcements do not need to go up the mountain to meet Natuozhi, as long as they go around the Baihe River to the back of Qingniling, take their camp behind the Mongols, burn a fire, and cooperate with night raids and other schemes, let him Wang Liangchen or Wang Bad Minister, in the dark environment, the soldiers can't find the generals, the generals can't find the soldiers, except for the head and death, I'm afraid they can't escape!" ”
