Chapter 104: Strive to Manage Yuan Road(2/3)

Everyone in Xia Town rested in Liangjiabao overnight, and drove to the northwest valley early the next morning.

Zhang Hua originally wanted to keep Liang Hongyu guarding Liangjiabao, but Liang Hongyu made enemies with Jin Wushu and insisted on following Zhang Hua to march and continue to attack Jin Wushu.

In front of Liang Hongyu's father's tomb, Liang Hongyu lit three incense sticks, knelt down again and again, then stood up, wiped away tears, and his eyes were firm.

From then on, Liang Hongyu will start a family independently and survive in this world.

Liang Hongyu turned on the horse and brought the archers of the divine arm to join the Xiazhen army...

Jin Wushu's territory was in chaos and panic.

Jin Wushu fled back to the territory overnight, packed up gold, silver and treasures, and prepared to die.

This is not the first time that Jin Wushu has lost to Zhang Hua, and he has become accustomed to escaping.

"In the west, according to the information of the horse merchants, crossing the mountain path, there is a wider plain in the west than here, and there is a huge horse farm. We can go to the place to take refuge. With our ability, we have the opportunity to gain a foothold everywhere."

Jin Wushu was ready to run away in advance.

Jin Wushu has really good luck. Every time he is defeated, he can escape unscathed.

The same is true in history.

Yue Fei, Wu Jie, Liu Qi and other famous generals of the Southern Song Dynasty took turns to find Jin Wushu to make their achievements. Jin Wushu was defeated many times, but he could survive every time.

Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu blocked Jin Wushu in Huang Tiandang, and Jin Wushu could also try to break through the siege and lead troops to the north.

"That's all."

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Yinshu also believe that they cannot defend.

They had accumulated more than half of their elite troops and lost their losses for several months, and they could not replenish them in a few days.

Jin Wushu glanced at Qin Hui: "Qin Hui, do you want to go with us? Or stay here?"

Qin Hui had a gloomy face. He had no choice but to follow Jin Wushu to fight other places.

As for staying?

What a joke, Zhang Hua's general Liang Hongyu, Zhong Shizhong and others were all concerned about Qin Huiheng. If Qin Hui fell into Zhang Hua's hands, it would be fine if he was not Lingchi.

Jin Wushu retreated in a hurry, and the valley had a population of 100,000 without a leader.

Less than a day after Jin Wushu retreated, the cavalry of Zhao Ponu, Deng Ai and Ma Wu had already entered the valley and quickly conquered the city and landed.

The remaining soldiers and horses left by Jin Wushu had no fighting spirit and surrendered one after another.

Zhang Hua led his troops into Jin Wushu's town.

A horse merchant saw that Xia Zhen’s troops arrived and stopped Zhang Hua’s war horse.

Mulan, Xu Chu quickly protected Zhang Hua, for fear that the other party would assassinate him.

Ma Shang shouted: "Sir, my horse has been plundered by your generals. Please make the decision!"

Zhang Hua signaled Mulan and Xu Chu put away his weapons.

Mulan, Xu Chu's eyes still fell on this Ma Shang. As long as Ma Shang has abnormal movements, he will be killed immediately.

"Who plunders your horse?"

"The villain escorted three hundred good horses to sell, but was taken away by a black-faced man as Jin Wushu's horse!"

"It turned out to be Ma Wu..."

Zhang Hua thought that Ma Wu was a bandit and really liked to loot everywhere, and was rather unreasonable, so it was not impossible to rob the Ma merchant directly.

In comparison, Feng Yi is more low-key and does not like to loot, but soothes people's hearts.

This is the difference between talent and talent.

"If what you said is true, I will return your horse. Where did you come from?"

Zhang Hua became interested in this Ma Shang businessman.

In just one year, this horse merchant could actually escort three hundred good horses to the east for sale. Behind him, there must be no simple person.

"Come from Qinchuan to the west, you come through hundreds of miles of mountain roads."

"Qinchuan?! Are you sure it is 800-li Qinchuan?!"

Zhang Hua suddenly became excited.

He has been judging where Xia Town is located and where the eastern plains are.

This Ma Shang claimed to be from Qinchuan, so to the east of Qinchuan, isn’t it the Luoyang Basin?!

Fan Zhongyan pondered, and then said, "I am also speculating on where this place is these days. It seems that it has confirmed my idea now. Huang Taiji, Gongzi Fusu, and Wagangzhai are located in the Luoyang Basin, and Xia Town are located in the Luoshui Valley."

"Through the river in Xia Town, it is Luoshui."

"Through the river in Shizhen, it is Yishui."

"Luo Water and Yi Water pass through the Luoyang Basin and merge into the Yellow River."

"Xia Town and the mountains between Jin Town are Wushan."

"There are two ancient roads from Luoyang to Qinchuan."

"North Road of Wushan, pass through Jinzhen."

"The South Road of Wushan, passes through Xia Town."

Fan Zhongyan inferred the nearby terrain.

Now it can basically be asserted that Zhang Hua's territory is in Luoyang, Luoshui and Yishui areas.

Luoyang is located in the center of the world.

Chen Gong sighed: "Luoyang has Chenggao in the east, Wuhan in the west, Mianchi, backed by the Yellow River, and facing Yi and Luo River in front. The geographical situation is solid and easy to defend, making it a place of dragon development. If the lord defeats the prince Fusu and Wagangzhai and occupy the Luoyang Basin, then the world is worthy!"

Fan Zhongyan disagreed: "Have you heard the story of Wu Qi and Wei Wenhou?"

Chen Gong was well-versed in history books and curled his lips: "I know what you want to say."

Fan Zhongyan was unhappy: "Wu Qi and Wei Wenhou sailed down the Yellow River, and took the mountains and rivers as the treasure of Wei. Wu Qi believed that virtue was not in danger. Throughout the dynasties, there was no lack of danger in mountains and rivers, but it eventually perished. Wei Wenhou agreed with it."

The solidity of mountains and rivers lies in virtue, not in danger.

Fan Zhongyan used this allusion to remind Zhang Hua not to be arrogant because he defeated Jin Wushu.

Zhang Hua has also heard of this allusion.

Zhang Hua suddenly thought of Wu Qi and Wei Wenhou. If this pair of people traveled to this world, they would probably be at the level of vassals.

Zhang Hua, Huang Taiji, Jin Wushu, Zhang Shicheng, Shi Jingtang, Yi Zhixie Shanyu, Liu Yu, Gongzi Fusu, Wagangzhai and other forces were intrigue and attacking each other, but in the end they were just fighting for the hinterland of Luoyang for hundreds of miles.

The area of ​​Luoyang Basin is less than one percent of that of China, and the struggles among various forces are already quite fierce.

The 800-li Qinchuan, west of the Luoyang Basin, is much wider than that of the Luoyang Basin.

"Since you are from Qinchuan, how much power does Qinchuan have? Which force are you from Ma Shang?"

Zhang Hua became interested in Qin Chuan's power.

Ma Shang replied: "There are hundreds of forces of all sizes in Qinchuan, eight hundred miles, and they are fighting each other, which is even more chaotic than the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The villain is Ma Shang, the power of Yuan Highway in the Three Kingdoms."

"Yuan Highway?"

Zhang Hua realized, isn’t this Yuan Shu?

Yuan Shu actually traveled to the 800-mile Qinchuan, and Ma Shang also served Yuan Shu.

It seems that Yuan Shu is doing well in his little life.

"How many people does Yuan Shu have? How many soldiers and horses do they have?"

Since Zhang Hua met Ma Shang from Qinchuan, he had to inquire about the situation there.

Ma Shang hesitated: "This is a secret. If I leaked the news, Yuan Shu probably wouldn't let me go..."

"If you don't want to confess to me, those horses..."

Zhang Hua's expression was fun.

Ma Wu snatched the horse merchant’s three hundred good horses and became Zhang Hua’s bargaining chip to threaten him.

Merchants will take risks for profit, not to mention that the horse merchant’s goods were detained by Zhang Hua.

Horseshang hesitated and finally said: "Yuan Shu heard that he later betrayed his relatives and relatives because he became emperor. After coming to this world, he worked hard to govern and worked diligently to recruit a group of civil and military ministers. There were already five towns with a population of 200,000. Yuan Shu also built a large horse farm with tens of thousands of horses."

Zhang Hua, Chen Gong, Fan Zhongyan and others looked at each other, and all showed surprise expressions.

When Yuan Shu learned about the Three Kingdoms later, he turned aside and wanted to be a wise king. Moreover, among hundreds of forces of Qinchuan, he developed well.

You should know that when Yuan Shu was appointed as the Changshui Captain, he was extremely arrogant and luxurious, riding a luxurious carriage and horse, with a strong momentum. He was known as the "strong ghost Yuan Changshui on the road".

But such a person has changed his mind and made Zhang Hua and others look at him with admiration.

Fan Zhongyan said, "The so-called country is easy to change, but nature is difficult to change. It is hard to say what step Yuan Shu can go in the future."

"Yuan Shu is in Qinchuan, where various forces are fighting each other, and we cannot intervene for a while. The most urgent task is to capture Gongzi Fusu and Wagang Village, and occupy Heluo."

Instead, Zhang Hua was a little grateful that he was not born in Qinchuan, 800 miles away.
