Chapter 207 Besieged
"Is there still a time to be uncertain about killing people?"
Han Zhenhan just smiled and did not answer. Of course he was not sure. When Batulu left Yuncheng, he did not say that he was alive, at least he had the ability to move. He could not see what injuries Batulu had suffered. If he had internal injuries, at least he would not be so energetic. He could bargain with Baizhu. So Han Zhenhan was not going to take the blame, but he could not explain.
The biggest beneficiary of Batulu's death was his youngest son An Tong, but when he said that, everyone would rather believe that Batulu was injured by Han Zhenhan's strange weapon while fighting Han Zhenhan, and eventually died of death without recurrence.
Moreover, after An Tong successfully took over his father's position, the attacks on Han Zhenhan were obvious to all by the generals of the Qiexue Army. Han Zhenhan had to take the blame, and the yellow mud fell into his crotch, and it was hard to explain it no matter how he explained it.
"Is there anything else I want to ask?"
Han Zhenhan took a deep breath. An Tong's hostility towards Han Zhenhan could not cause too much threat to him. After all, Han Zhenhan had left the territory of the Mongolian Empire, and the first person who prompted the Song Dynasty to fail in the war with the Mongolian Yuan was sitting next to Han Zhenhan and asking questions to Han Zhenhan.
"Where did you soldiers come from? I can see that they are not Mongolians, but they also came back from overseas?"
...........
Li Zheng, who didn't like to ride a carriage along the way, stayed in Han Zhenhan's carriage, to be precise, stayed by Han Zhenhan's side, which made Wanze feel uncomfortable, and Shunzi occasionally teased Liu Zheng.
"Look at you, like a big lantern, is it shiny, can't you leave by yourself..."
But Liu Zhi’s impression of stirrups is used to step on them. How could there be light? It can be polished when bright. It can’t be very far from Dengzhou to Luzhou, but it took more than ten days to walk.
Although the Southern Song Dynasty was often attacked by the Mongolian Empire along the way, there were completely different scenes in the two countries. Even Yuncheng before it was looted by the Mongolian army, it was not as prosperous as the small towns in the Song Dynasty.
The weather in early March has already rejuvenated the land south of the Yangtze River, not as cold as the north. Farmers farm and vendors travel on the official road. Seeing the scene in front of you and the journey along the way along the south bank of the Yellow River, Han Zhenhan had a sharp contrast in his heart.
Han Zhenhan and his party plus Liu Zheng had a total of more than 2,000 troops. It can be said that they were in a mighty way. If it weren't for Liu Zheng, I would have been stopped by many Southern Song defenders along the way.
After walking for more than ten days, I finally arrived at the destination of this trip, Luzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Tongchuan Prefecture, is located in the southeast of Sichuan, located at the junction of four provinces and cities in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Chongqing. The geographical location is very important, and Luzhou has the largest inland port in Sichuan, which can be regarded as the largest port in Sichuan. After passing Xuzhou to the west of Luzhou, which is Yibin, you can reach the northeast of Dali.
But Dali was now captured by Kublai Khan as early as the first year of Baoyou. Duan Xingzhi, the last monarch of Dali, was captured, and the powerful prime minister Gao Taixiang would rather die than surrender. At this time, Dali was already the Yunnan province of the Mongol Empire, and the governor of the province was Duan Xingzhi, the last monarch of Dali.
When Duan Xingzhi became the king, he was suppressed by the powerful prime minister Gao Taixiang and could only be a puppet monarch. Unexpectedly, after losing the Dali monarch and changing his title as a governor, he actually gained real power. From then on, he became an eagle dog in the center of Kublai Khan, and began to lead troops to encircle and suppress rebels from all over the country. He became a lackey in the center of Kublai Khan. The Dali Duan family has been passed down for three hundred years for a lifetime, but it was destroyed by Duan Xingzhi.
On the contrary, Gao Taixiang, the powerful prime minister who had been despised by court officials in the Dali court, became a great hero who would rather die than surrender. Gao Taixiang's son was only eight years old when he died. However, under the leadership of Duan's thought that the princess, he escaped from Zhongdu and returned to Dali. He organized a large number of righteous men to defend against Mongolian tyranny among the people, causing trouble for Duan Xingzhi, the governor, everywhere.
At this time, Han Zhenhan was sitting in Liu Zhenhan's central army tent with a frown. In addition to Han Zhenhan, Shunzi was the only one in the tent, and Shunzi was also angry, because Han Zhenhan had been in Luzhou for three days, but Liu Zhenhan and Liu Zhenhan did not give the camp that Han Zhenhan wanted, but only sent five days of food to Han Zhenhan and then disappeared again.
This did not anger Han Zhenhan. What made Han Zhenhan angry was that the camp he camped outside Luzhou City was surrounded by 3,000 troops from Luzhou defenders. It was not necessary to start a fight when he was surrounded, but what was even more annoying than fighting when he was attacking was that the Luzhou army put Han Zhenhan and his new regiment under house arrest.
The generals surrounding Han Zhenhan could not say anything. Han Zhenhan knew what it meant when he was surrounded by someone who didn't understand. He couldn't let others sleep peacefully next to his bed. Han Zhenhan could understand this. Han Zhenhan did not want to stay in Luzhou for a long time from beginning to end, but Han Zhenhan did not find a suitable position as a transit along the way.
Transfers are of course for transferring the supplies and wealth provided to Han Zhenhan from Yuncheng. Although Han Zhenhan took away a lot of gold, silver and money, there are always times when the money is spent. Before Han Zhenhan found a new base and a new way to make money, he could only rely on his old capital.
The current situation and geographical location of Luzhou are exactly what Han Zhenhan urgently needs. Han Zhenhan cannot be trapped here and dare not do anything. The current Xinyi Group is not the Xinyi Group when he arrived in Taiyuan Prefecture, and it is not the Luliang Mountain with mountains and waters. The Xinyi Group now has almost reached a scale of 2,000 people, including more than 1,000 female relatives, and more than 300 people brought out by the Brotherhood, eating, drinking, defecation and urination every day is a huge expense.
Food, grass, money and money are huge expenses, but now the Luzhou army, who was cliched by Liu, is under house arrest, and is custody outside the city of Luzhou like a prisoner. Not to mention establishing a stronghold, a small soldier was stopped when they went out. At first, Han Zhenhan thought that the other party was just garrisoning, and did not care. After surrounding Han Zhenhan.
Han Zhenhan also wanted to see what Liu Zheng was thinking. But after three days, Liu Zheng had no floors, which made Han Zhenhan anxious. After a big fight with the general who guarded Han Zhenhan, Han Zhenhan was allowed to go out of the camp to find Liu Zheng.
