Chapter 20 3. Bluff, Lian Xixian frightens Hunduhai away

Let's talk about the main force of the Mongolian Khanate army, which was originally led by Mengge Khan to attack the Southern Song Dynasty.After Mongol Khan’s catastrophe, the offensive of the Mongolian army in Sichuan had to stop. One group was led by Mingli Huo Zhe and Qitai Buhua and stayed in Sichuan to garrison; Panshan joins the sea of ​​Hundu. In order to compete with Kublai Khan for the Khan position, Brother Ali secretly sent his confidant Alan Da'er into Sichuan and Shaanxi to communicate secretly. Hua, secretly responded to Brother Ali.Hunduhai, stationed in Liupan Mountain, relied on its large number of people and its strength, and never took Kublai Khan seriously.After Hara Buhua and Hunduhai met, Hunduhai became even more arrogant, as if he was the only one in the southwest half of the wall.Seeing that brother Alibu made promises and money, he expressed his full support for brother Alibu and Kublai Khan to compete for the Khan position.

Lian Xixian and Shang Ting ran non-stop all the way to their residence. On the way, they discussed how to solve the Southwest issue.Faced with the complicated situation, Lian Xixian proposed three solutions. The ideal is to win them over.The middle strategy is to prevent it from investing in Ali Boke, maintain neutrality, and avoid fighting on two fronts against Ali Boke.If they are obsessed with their obsession and are determined to be our enemy, they will eat it.They must not be asked to vote for Brother Ali!Of course, this is a bad strategy. Once the war starts, money, food, soldiers and horses are needed, and there will be no results in a year or so.

After the newly appointed Sichuan-Shaanxi appeasement envoy Lian Xixian and his party arrived at their posts, they immediately sent envoys with his personal letters to the various army stations to declare their interests, understand them, and mobilize them. With affection; tell them that Kublai Khan is the legitimate Khan, and hope that they will not help the tyrant and make wrong choices, so as not to regret for life. A few days later, news came back that the envoys sent to Mount Liupan had been killed, and they planned to take down Sichuan and Shanxi together, and they supported Brother Ali to challenge Kublai Khan.

The situation is extremely tense, Guanzhong is critical, Jingzhao is critical, and the entire Sichuan and Shaanxi are critical. Lian Xixian immediately convened his civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.Attending the meeting were Liu Heima of Wanhu, Gao Pengxiao of Jingzhao Zhizhong, Yin Shiguang of Huazhou Prefecture, and Bachun of the general. The air in the big tent was so tense that people couldn't breathe.Yes, in the face of such a powerful enemy, facing such a severe situation, no one is willing to talk too much if there is no sure way of fighting. Lian Xixian spoke first. He glanced at the generals in the tent, and then said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, it's nothing special. In a real fight, it's not that we have no chance of winning. You are all qualified to fight." The masters who are good at fighting also have some soldiers and horses in their hands, plus the soldiers and horses of Qin Gong Shihou Wang Weiliang, Qingju General Soldier Wang Weizheng, etc., our total number of troops is more than tens of thousands. It is more than enough to deal with Hunduhai, ha ha."

His words dispelled everyone's worries, and the atmosphere at the venue became active. Gao Pengxiao in Jingzhao Zhizhong said: "Hunduhai has been stationed in Liupan Mountain for a long time, and he has 25,000 fine riders. Now, Mengge Khan's Western Expeditionary Army joins him, Guanlong, Sichuan, etc. Land, their power is the most powerful, once they unite, it will be difficult for us to support." Liu Heima of Wanhu said: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, once they attack, we will fight with them to the death, and the outcome is hard to predict." Gao Pengxiao said: "It's impossible to fight recklessly. In Sichuan, Qinghai, and Shaanxi, there are not many direct troops under our control. Most of the elite field troops are controlled by them. Once they jointly attack, our army will undoubtedly be defeated."

Bachun said: "Although the enemy is powerful, most of them still have a wait-and-see attitude. It depends on the development of the situation. Once Kublai Khan loses, they will fall to Brother Alibu wholeheartedly. Therefore, the first task now is to In order to win, let these people on the sidelines not fall to them." Wanhu Liu Heima said, "What can I do?" The situation has become clear, and Lian Xixian has a preliminary plan in his mind. The reason why Hunduhai is so arrogant is all because of the surrounding troops who belonged to Brother Ali. Difficult to support, difficult to sing alone, will lose its prestige.Thinking of this, he said: "Through the analysis of the generals just now, the enemy's situation has been clarified. Now our key is to break their alliance, isolate them, and defeat them individually. It is best not to fight recklessly if we can avoid fighting each other. Let me tell you the truth. , I came here this time because of the secret decree of the Great Khan, allowing me to do it cheaply, and cut it first and then play it." As he spoke, he took out a roll of letter paper from his arms, shook it in front of everyone, and read: "Order the Sichuan-Shaanxi Province Lian Xixian, envoy of Xuan Fu, will give you a tiger talisman silver seal, allowing you to mobilize all kinds of soldiers and horses in the vicinity, to do things cheaply, and in case of emergency, you can kill first and then play. I respect this!"

Then, he carefully put the letter paper back in his pocket, and continued: "The art of war says, capture the thief first, and capture the king first. Since we can't make a profit by fighting hard, then we will use them to hold a wait-and-see attitude and please both sides. Neither side dares to offend this point, so first capture and kill their coach. If the coach is punished and the dragons have no leader, they will naturally disperse." Seeing that the time was right, he stood up and gave the order: "Wanhu Liu Heima listens!" Liu Heima responded, "The end is here!"

"Now I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan military. Go back to the headquarters in Chengdu quickly, lure the fire fighters out of the camp, capture and kill them in one fell swoop, and at the same time receive and reorganize the Sichuan army, attack north, and cooperate with the Guanzhong operation!" "Take orders!" "Wang Wei is listening!" "The end is here!" "I ordered you to be the marshal of the army and horses of Qingju, capture and kill Qitai without flowers, receive the army, wait in full force, and when the opportunity is ripe, leave Qingju and attack eastward!"

"Take orders!" "Bachun listens to the order!" "The end is here!" "I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi You Army. Recruit new troops in Shaanxi, train soldiers and horses, and garrison the natural dangers of Tongguan. Move your camera and attack at any time!" "Take orders!" "All ministries must give full play to the wisdom of the soldiers, work together, capture and kill the commander first, and strive to achieve success without bloodshed. You must not be indecisive and let the enemy take the lead. Alright, please return to the station quickly and execute immediately!"

Seeing everyone leave, Shang Ting, the deputy envoy of Xuanfu on Chuanshan Road, quietly asked Lian Xixian, "Lord Lian, when did the Great Khan give you the right to kill first and play later? This is a coquettish edict!" Lian Xixian nodded, and said seriously, "I know, but for the sake of Kublai Khan's imperial career, we still have to take this risk." "However, you also need to know that the people you want to kill are all members of the Golden Family, and they are all related to our Great Khan!" Shang Ting said worriedly. Lian Xixian looked up at Shang Ting, and said, "Are you afraid? You think, if we go to ask for an order, the round trip will be far away, and Da Khan will have to hesitate for a few days just to let the killer kill these people. At that time, the day lily would have been cold." He picked up the teacup on the table, swung the lid on it, took a sip, and said, "Once the enemy attacks, we will definitely not be able to stop these battle-tested field troops. Therefore, the principle of our battle is to make a big splash, frighten Hun Duhai, and never let him pass through Tongguan. If we lose, maybe your head and mine will be displayed on the flagpole; if we win, these People will definitely be killed by the Great Khan. Therefore, it is better for us to do it as soon as possible, haha, if Master Shang is afraid, then I will bear the responsibility alone!"

"No, no, if I, an old guy, can accompany you, a young man, I have already made a profit. Haha! This time I will definitely bear it with you!" Shang Ting said with a smile.This is the second time he has been invited out of the mountain by Kublai Khan. He is grateful for Kublai Khan's kindness, how can he back down at a critical moment?What's more, he saw Lian Xixian's courage and determination at the critical moment, which made him see Lian Xixian's utter loyalty. Why should he worry about sharing responsibility with such a person? "Okay, that's it. Now, our first task is to find a way to capture and kill Liu Taiping and Huo Luhai, the commander-in-chief of Jingzhao's garrison, and close the gate of Guanzhong to prevent them from entering Guanzhong." "Then continue to use Jiaozhao to kill!" The two looked at each other and smiled. The envoy immediately went to Jingzhao General Army Mansion, and told Liu Taiping and Huo Luhai, Jingzhao's garrison general soldiers, to receive the order in Xuanfu envoy's yamen. After Alan Da'er came to Sichuan and Shaanxi, he secretly met with Liu Taiping and Huo Luhai, the chief soldiers of Jingzhao, and conveyed the rewards offered by brother Alibu to them, and agreed to join up with Hunduhai and go out of Tongguan to attack Guanzhong.However, this matter has long been detected by Jing Zhaozhi Zhong Gao Pengxiao.This time they saw Lian Xixian recruiting them to accept the order, and they thought they were within their own jurisdiction. Forgive him, Lian Xixian would not dare to do anything to them, so they only brought a few personal guards to the Xuanfu envoy's yamen.At this time, the swordsmen who had been ambushing for a long time swarmed up and chopped the two into minced meat. All the ministries acted according to their plans. Since these generals were Mongolian nobles, many of them were close branches of the Golden Family, they were used to being arrogant and powerful, and they never thought that anyone would dare to kill them, so they were all defenseless. All ministries succeeded in one fell swoop, and none slipped through the net.The former Mongol conquest of the Western Road Army in the Southern Song Dynasty, Sichuan Military Affairs Niu Phosphorus saw that something was wrong, and wanted to lead his troops to flee northward and move closer to the Hundu Sea. As a result, he was immediately attacked by the superior forces of Bachun and Liu Heima. The sharp drop, coupled with the surrender of Bachun and others, all armies surrendered one after another, and Niu Lin was also captured alive. Lian Xixian took the opportunity to attack and soon took control of vast areas of Shaanxi, Qinghai and Sichuan.When marching into Luzhou, Song general Liu Zheng was recruited, which was an unexpected gain.Later, Liu Zheng made great contributions to the consolidation of the Yuan Dynasty. Now, only Commander Hundu Hai Guanggan is left. He is entrenched in the area of ​​Liupan Mountain alone, and he never dreamed that Lian Xixian would use this method to deal with him.Relying on the terrain of Liupan Mountain, coupled with strong soldiers and horses, he was sharpening his sword. He wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of Jingzhao and unite with other ministries to take the Southwest in one fell swoop, and then attacked Kublai Khan from the side and back, responding to Brother Ali.Unexpectedly, Lian Xixian put himself aside and did not fight, and took his salary from the bottom of the pot, defeating his coalition forces and helpers one by one.Seeing that Jingzhao is prepared, the situation is not good for him, and he is in danger of being eaten here, so Hun Duhai ordered all to withdraw from Liupan Mountain and move closer to Brother Ali.As a result, this fell right into Lian Xixian's plan. As soon as Hunduhai left his lair, Lian Xixian quickly surrounded him, chasing and fighting all the way, annihilating the Hunduhai department in Yaobei Valley, and Hunduhai was also captured. killed. The southwest region was pacified, and the day after the Hunduhai was annihilated, Kublai Khan led his troops northward to personally teach his disobedient younger brother Ali Buge, so the war broke out on the grassland again.
