Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 394 Heading to Hanzhong
In Liu Song today, the centralization of power has reached its peak in hundreds of years.

Especially after Liu Yizhen moved the capital to get rid of the southern family, the imperial power bottomed out and became a powerful and effective ruling tool.

There are many advantages to this, but there are also many disadvantages.

The biggest disadvantage is that if Liu Yizhen dies suddenly at this moment, and the youngest son is still unable to rule, the entire Liu Song regime will be paralyzed.

Without an order from the Son of Heaven, even Wang Xiu, Wang Maide, and Gao Yun could not command military power together. Each region would just fight on its own and be defeated by the hostile forces.

Therefore, Liu Yizhen said that Liu Song would collapse in an instant when he died suddenly. It is definitely not shocking, but a fact!

Zhu Lingshi, Tan Daoji, and Xie Hui were all shocked when they heard this.

But soon, they knew they had to stop this wayward emperor!

"His Majesty!"

The three of them left the table and knelt down one after another, begging Liu Yizhen to take back the order of Yujia's personal conquest.

No need.

Really unnecessary!
Although everyone also hoped to kill Helian Bobo immediately, if the price was Liu Yizhen's safety, it would not be worth the loss.

Even Tan Daoji, who is better at defense, volunteered: "I would like to rush to Hanzhong to defend Helian Bobo!"

"No."

Liu Yizhen rejected Tan Daoji's request.

"Now it's not a question of who can hold Hanzhong, but Helian Bobo has to choose to stay in Hanzhong."

"And this, except me. No one can do it."

Tan Daoji, Zhu Lingshi, Xie Hui, these few tied together are not as important as Liu Yizhen. In other words, even if they all go to Hanzhong, they can't "stick" to He Lianbo.

"I will let Jin Yiwei spread the news secretly, saying that I will go to Hanzhong for rescue."

"Take advantage of this opportunity to buy more time for Guanzhong."

"As soon as I arrive in Hanzhong, let Wang Zhen'e attack Hu Xia's Longyou Army to the west!"

"Afterwards, Zhu Lingshi will go north to Gyeongju to block Helian Lun and the enemy forces in the direction of Tongwancheng, creating an opportunity for Wang Zhen'e to face the Longyou army alone."

"at last."

Liu Yizhen looked at Xie Hui: "Xie Shizhong sits in Chang'an and blocks Chencang Road! Helian Bobo can't be let away!"

A complete "Sleepy Dragon" plan was finally customized.

Among them, the most important is "one attack, one defense".

"One attack" is to demand that Wang Zhen'e must take down Longyou within the time everyone bought him, and block He Lianbo's retreat.

"Yi Shou" means that Hanzhong must be defended until Wang Zhen'e takes Longyou, otherwise it will not be so easy for Helian Bobo to stop him after he runs away.

"But……"

The audience wanted to persuade them again, but Liu Yizhen waved them to take back what he wanted to say.

"I won't listen."

"I have to go to Hanzhong. Without Zhen, Helian Bobo would not have made up his mind to attack Hanzhong."

Regarding this, Liu Yizhen half-jokingly said: "My life will be entrusted to you."

"The sooner Helian Bobo is blocked, the shorter the time we can defend Hanzhong, and the lower the chance of being breached. You should think about this clearly."

"..."

"Your Majesty will go down with you."

Seeing that Liu Yizhen could not be persuaded, Xie Hui offered to go to Hanzhong with Liu Yizhen.

Liu Yizhen shook his head.

"What's there to do in Hanzhong? It's just to stick to it. Xie Shizhong might as well sit in Chang'an, preside over the overall situation in the north for me, and adjust possible omissions at any time."

"Your Majesty, minister—you must go!"

At this time, Xie Hui's unprecedented decisiveness surprised Liu Yizhen.

He leaned down and said to Xie Hui sadly: "Xie Shizhong can think clearly."

"This time in Hanzhong, we have narrow escapes!"

Xie Hui was not frightened by Liu Yizhen's tone, but became more determined.

"Chen...you must go!"

"This battle is about the great Song Dynasty! If Your Majesty refuses to let me go, I ask you to resign immediately and never become an official!"

Xie Hui's words were even stronger, and even gave Liu Yizhen the harsh words of "resigning from office".

"S..."

Liu Yi really knew the bad temper of the Xie family.

The same goes for Xie Lingyun, he takes the soft but not the hard, once a decision is made, the nine cows can't pull it back...

"Since Xie Shizhong is going, let's go together."

For this kind of battle with no technical content, a battle that is purely filled with will and life, it is a bit overkill to put Xie Hui there.

But Xie Hui was going, so Liu Yizhen didn't refuse, and it would be nice to have a scribe on the way to chat.

In this way, the task of guarding Chang'an will be handed over to Tan Daoji.

"I originally wanted General Tan to lead the troops to Luoyang to garrison the Northern Wei Dynasty, so we have to find a new candidate..."

Liu Yizhen and Helianbo had a lively fight, but he never forgot Tuoba Tao in the north.

That little bastard saw Helian Bobo and Liu Yizhen fighting in the west, wouldn't he come and get involved?
Now Wang Zhongde of Jinyang and Zhu Chaoshi of Hebei are both generals, but it is still not enough to say that they alone can resist the evil Tuoba Tao and Cui Hao, the "first counselor of the Southern and Northern Dynasties".

"Pass the military order to General Zhao Lunzhi in Pengcheng, let him immediately lead the troops northward and station in Luoyang!"

The current situation in the Central Plains can be regarded as stable, but it would be a waste for Zhao Lunzhi to continue to be stationed in Pengcheng.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is not bad to use Pengcheng's army to put pressure on the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"The deployment of troops is roughly like this."

"The political affairs of the DPRK and China are presided over by the three provinces."

The three provinces here naturally refer to Wang Xiu, Wang Maide and Gao Yun.

Since Xie Hui from Menxia Province is also going to join the army in the conquest, there is only one "semi-retired" Fu Liang who temporarily raises the banner of Menxia Province, so that the three provinces will not be in name only.

"I can't bring too many people with me to Hanzhong this time."

If you bring too many, you can't ensure that Guanzhong has enough troops to resist the enemy in the direction of Tongwancheng. If you let Tongwancheng's army go south to make dumplings for Wang Zhen'e, not to mention the failure of the whole plan, even Guanzhong may be in danger.

"Just send 5000 people from the Habayashi Army to support Hanzhong with me."

Although the five thousand Yulin army is small in number, they are all elites.

Not only equipped with the most advanced weapons, but also the best young generals.

The five "Little Five Tigers" Zhu Xiuzhi, An Jie, Liu Yuanjing, Zongxi, and Xue Andu were all stuffed into the Habayashi Army by Liu Yizhen.

If these five people, plus one Xie Hui, were all sent to Hanzhong, it would wipe out all Liu Song's generals in the next few decades!

"But with this lineup...it's not easy for Helian Bobo to come in."

After selecting the men and horses for the expedition, Liu Yizhen led the army to set off from Chang'an after explaining the government affairs and palace affairs in the court.

"Helian Bobo, an old friend. I still miss him."

Raising the whip lightly, this Song army beat the emperor Lubo, and all members entered the Baoxie Road and marched towards Hanzhong.
