Offense (6)

Li Heng's hard-working training Guangzhou Navy Division for nearly half a year was wiped out overnight. The coastline of more than 1,000 miles of coastline in the 11 coastal states of Liangguang was immediately like an egg that had been peeled off, completely exposed under the blow of the Broken Army and Naval Division.

Lu Shikui, the deputy marshal of the Pingsong Dynasty, stood on the shore that night and watched as the battleships were sunk one by one. At that moment, he knew that Liangguang was over, even if he was Zhuge resurrected and Sun Wu was alive, he would not be able to save this fateful defeat. There are too few soldiers in hand, and there are too many areas that need to be defended, the key is that from beginning to end, the people's hearts are not on the side of Dayuan.

With the current morale and popular support, the wise choice is to take the initiative to retreat and put the front on several important places such as Shaozhou, Xiongzhou, and Lianzhou, which are backed by Jiangnan West Road and Jinghu South Road. In this way, it is possible to safely receive supplies from the rear, and it is also possible to look for opportunities to attack the flaws of the captive army.

Wen Tianxiang's new policies in Fujian were incompatible with the Song tradition, and in order to ensure that orders were not blocked by other colleagues in the court, he had to build up his military exploits from time to time. Relying on the brilliant achievements of the Broken Army, the criticism between the government and the opposition was suppressed. Therefore, the main force of the Broken Captives Army will not always shrink in Fujian and not come out. As soon as the captive army left Fujian and entered Liangguang, the outnumbered force immediately turned around. The bandits and local tyrants in the mountains of Liangguang would not easily accept the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and if the Broken Army wanted to gain a foothold in Liangguang, it had to divide its troops to sweep away the heroes. At that time, it was a good time for Dayuan to draw the Song Dynasty.

Lu Shikui felt that his inference was very reasonable, but he did not dare to really evacuate the main force from Guangzhou. The capture of Guangzhou and the flattening of Yashan were the hallmarks of His Majesty Kublai Khan's martial arts in the previous stage. No matter who withdraws from Yashan and Canton, no matter how difficult the circumstances, he will be a sinner for the ages. Kublai Khan could unjustly kill a deputy marshal Liu Shen, and he wouldn't care about killing one more scapegoat. This is why after Li Heng's death, no one fought for the position of deputy marshal of the Ping Song Dynasty. In the court, the Mongolian, Han, and Semu bigwigs are not stupid, and they all know who succeeds Li Heng is who they roast on the fire. Only the stupid prince Zhenjin is stupid and messy to send people to the cusp of the storm, and it seems that he is promoted unusually, and he needs people to accept great favors.

Lu Shikui thought depressedly, complained, and lamented the difficulties of his career and the unfairness of fate. For so many years, it is not easy to pin your head to your belt and step your conscience under your feet to climb to this position today. Now that you can't fight, you can't retreat, it's almost like waiting for death. was so confused as a scapegoat, or was bombarded to death, and did his loyalty to Dayuan, even if he entered the underworld, he was unwilling in his heart.

"In fact, the handsome don't have to be so embarrassed, it is not easy to win a battle in ancient times, but it is relatively simple to defeat a battle!" Seeing that he was frowning all day, Master Lu leaned beside him and whispered.

Lu Shikui's eyebrows were raised, and suddenly there was an urge to drag this person out and beat him with a hundred lashes. As a military general, even if he is serving the enemy country, who doesn't want to live vigorously and die brilliantly. If the enemy army didn't come, wouldn't it be a shame to lose the general's face if he planned how to lose the battle first?

"I don't know how many years it will take to fight. If you have soldiers in your hands, you will have a head. If there are no soldiers, I'm afraid in anyone's eyes, it's not worth much! Seeing that the proprietor was noncommittal about his words, the master took a few steps to the side and staggered.

Lu Shikui's fingers rattled, and he shook his head, and the painful feeling made him sober. Master Lu Xing is an old man who has worked in the Lu family for many years, and he knows the severity. He was right when he said that. Now in this state of affairs, according to Dachun's general order, he fought hard with the broken army on the two roads in Quang Nam, and there was no chance of victory. If you put the old foundation of the beginning into account, at most you will end up with no merit and no fault, and if you don't get it right, you will attract a lot of crazy people like fruitless monks, and your life is in danger. is also defeated, it is better to lose beautifully, it seems that it is defeated by strength, and its strength is not as good as that of others. In this way, Da Chun can't pick out anything, and there are tens of thousands of old brothers left, and His Majesty Kublai Khan wants to condemn him, and he has to consider the result of doing so.

Thinking of this, Lu Shikui's heart was a little relieved. He Yan Yuese pulled the master back and began to arrange according to his instructions. Li Heng has a group of Tanma Red Army under his command who are not weak in combat and refuse to buy other people's accounts, about 7,000 people. It was difficult for these guys to buy, so Lu Shikui sent all of them to Zengcheng according to the instructions of his master, which was closer to the Xing Song army and was the first line of defense to defend Guangzhou. Anyway, since Li Heng's assassination, these Tanma Red Army have been clamoring like madmen to go into Fujian to take revenge, so it is better to fulfill them directly.

Qingyuan, Zhenyang, and Qujiang, which are subordinate to Guangzhou Prefecture, Yingde Prefecture, and Shaozhou Prefecture, are the main routes for withdrawing to the north, and these places have to let go of their own people. Lu Shikui sent several of his nephews, Lu Shang, Lu Wen and Lu Qiang. Ordered a few people to just defend the city, no matter how much trouble the rogues outside, they were not allowed to take the initiative to fight.

As for Guangnan West Road, Lu Shikui arranged Chen Bao, Zhai Liang, Wang Anshi, Zhai Guoxiu, Fang Jingsheng and others very "care" over. When they surrendered, Zhang Hongfan promised to submit a letter to the imperial court and allow them to "Shizhen Guangnan". But since then, the imperial court has not made a reply on this matter. Since he can make the decision temporarily at this moment, Lu Shikui simply made a good person, arranged for them to stay away from Guangzhou as far as possible to become the emperor of the soil, and led his troops to block the front line of Guangzhou for them. After a lot of hard work, he exchanged several moving weeping words with Zhai Guoxiu, and vowed that once there was a police in Guangzhou, he would immediately lead the troops to come back to rescue.

"Earth leopard, you wait to be loyal to Banzai!" Lu Shikui scolded in his heart. The Great Song Dynasty sailors have always had a tradition of leapfrogging attacks, and when the Song and Jin Dynasty confronted each other, they raided several states in Shandong and Hebei from the sea. What's more, at this time, the leader of the sailor was the famous ruthless Du Hu. Slander is slander, but he made a selfless gesture on his face, telling everyone to live a good life and defend the country.

A small gesture was done, and the time was in mid-March. Lu Shikui breathed a sigh of relief and began to train and take stock of his own descendants. Before he could pull people out of Guangzhou City, he received a distress letter from Guangnan West Road.

"The thieves Qiong, Lei Erzhou, Hao Wanshan, and Huo Zhi died in battle. The heads of the states of Yu, Rong, Gao and Lian will all watch from the wall. The enemy is outnumbered, if the marshal does not come for half a month, Liu will be martyred! Liu Derun, the guard general of Huazhou, who had just made up for the lack of pacification and had not yet sat on the hot buttocks, pleaded in a distress letter.

Lu Shikui put away the distress letter and did not make any arrangements. That night, the messenger from Huazhou who came to ask for help disappeared in the city of Guangzhou.

The four prefectures of Qiong, Lei, Hua and Lian were lost one after another.

In the Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Wen Tianxiang picked up a few corner flags and pinned them to the Shen map marked with contour lines. Zeng Huan, chief of staff of the Broken Army, took a group of staff officers to quickly deduce what might happen next.

According to the original battle plan, after the naval division led by Du Hu eliminated the Guangzhou naval division of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the task was only to take Qiongzhou, which was isolated overseas. It was not affected by the war last year, and the grain was ripe, just enough to replenish the food shortage in various parts of Fujian.

No one expected that the heroes of Guangnan Zhulu would actually watch Du Hu defeat the four coastal states one by one without taking any action. At this moment, Du Hu has less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and if all the heroes of Guangnan West Road work together, they may not be able to block the captive army and sailors back into the sea.

"The local tycoons on Guangnan West Road regretted it, and secretly sent money to Du Hu for grain delivery, hoping that General Du would be able to show mercy!" Liu Zijun stepped forward and handed over a stack of unopened letters. On the outer skin of each letter, there is a big red cross on the body of a death row prisoner.

As soon as everyone saw it, they knew that the red fork was done by Du Hu. Regarding these wall riders, Du Hu has always had only one countermeasure, "Kill!" ”

"Send a fast ship to Du Guiqing to give an order, asking him not to continue the attack for the time being, and to stabilize the four states of Qiong, Lei, Lian, and Hua first. The ownerless land and the powerful family wealth that took refuge in the Northern Yuan Dynasty were divided among the people first! Wen Tianxiang smiled and threw the letter aside.

"What does the prime minister want, don't you still have good thoughts!" Su Liuyi walked over briskly from the side and complained with some dissatisfaction.

At this moment, there are no soldiers in his hands, but Su Liuyi doesn't think that he has to listen to Wen Tianxiang's arrangements. According to his official position, he is also a squire of the military department, and has the right to participate in the decision-making of the war situation. Moreover, if it weren't for Zhai Liang and others who defected to the enemy last year, the end of the Jianghuai Army would not have been so miserable.

Wen Tianxiang didn't have a good impression of these guys who didn't let go of the arrow and gave up the flank to Zhang Hongfan. Seeing that Su Liu Yi was in a hurry, he smiled and said: "Why should Su Shilang be in a hurry, these people's property is in Liangguang, and it is rare to be willing to abandon their homes and run for their lives!" ”

"Then how is the prime minister going to prepare?" Su Liu Yi was stunned, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Wen Tianxiang's gourd. In his mind, the big Song Cheng in front of him attaches great importance to other people's land and family wealth, and almost every time he fights, the primary purpose is to grab money.

"Stabilize them first, don't rush them, otherwise, if they join forces, General Du will also be in trouble! When we defeat Lu Shikui, and then slowly recover Liangguang, either we don't fight, or we want to fight, and sweep away all the people who support the troops and wait and see, so as not to leave trouble in the future! Wen Tianxiang explained peacefully. With Du Hu's temperament, he will not be merciful when he fights. It just satisfied Lu Shikui's desire to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf.

The terrain of Guangxi South Road is complex, and Miao and Han live together, so those local clans who have taken refuge in the Northern Yuan Dynasty need to be treated differently. These people have no distinction in their hearts, and they have no concept of a state. All that matters is the continuation of the family's interests. Therefore, no matter who is under them, they will not be loyal. will only follow behind the strong people they consider to fight the autumn wind. For their group, dividing, disintegrating, pacifying, suppressing and other means is the right way, if they blindly focus on killing, it will be counterproductive.

"If the prime minister sends troops to Guangzhou, Su is willing to be a pawn in front of the tent!" Seeing that the generals of the Ministry of Culture and Culture were almost staring at him, Su Liuyi hugged his fists apologetically, took half a step back, and bowed down and said.

"If General Su doesn't mention it, I will also ask the general to come out. I am going to let Zou Wei, Zhang Tang, Xiao Mingzhe, Yang Xiaorong and Wu Xixi take the first, second, fifth and third standards, as well as the artillery division to kill from Xunzhou. General Su can go with them and recruit the old troops along the way! ”

"Second and fifth?" Su Liu Yi asked with the ecstasy in his heart. Finally waited for this day, since coming to Fujian, everyone has been looking forward to regrouping with the help of Wen Tianxiang. However, the number of pacesetters in the second and fifth was seriously insufficient, and the Breaker Army sent three targets plus an artillery division, which seemed to be violent, but in fact there were not many men. I'm afraid it will be too big to deal with an area as large as Liangguang?

"At present, Mrs. Xu's Xing Song army is stationed in Chaozhou and Huizhou, with more than 50,000 people, and they can be killed in Guangzhou at any time. If General Su does not give up, he can collect the old headquarters of the Jianghuai Army along the way, and supplement Xiao Mingzhe's second bid and Yang Xiaorong's fifth bid. In this way, on the Guangnan East Road, with the addition of Mrs. Xu's Xing Song Army, our troops are no less than that of Lu Shikui. If Lu Bu can be defeated or squeezed out of the East Guangnan Road, and the Zhuhao of the West Road will lose their backers, I am afraid that they will only have the qualifications to be slaughtered by us! Wen Tianxiang nodded and arranged in a low voice.

"Adding bids 2 and 5?" Su Liuyi let out an exclamation, his eyes as wide as a copper bell.

Several staff officers and middle-level generals of the Broken Army looked over with dissatisfaction, and they had seen someone who did not know the severity of their actions, but they had never seen someone who did not know the severity of their actions. The Jianghuai army was wiped out by Zhang Hongfan, and if it wasn't for the broken army to open a bloody road, even Zhang Shijie himself would not be able to get out.

After the incident, Prime Minister Wen not only did not impeach the generals of the Jianghuai Army for their incompetence and mislead the country, but instead said a lot of good things for them. Compared with Zhang Shijie, Su Liuyi and others' exclusion of Wen Tianxiang everywhere, it is simply a revenge for grievances with virtue. After doing so much, this General Su didn't know how to be satisfied, and he still didn't forget to ask the Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to contribute money and materials to rebuild the team for them. There are many cheap things in the world, and there is no end to taking advantage of them!

"Yes, the Jianghuai brothers were dispersed and suffered a lot in Quang Nam. Mixed with the veterans of the second and fifth marks, hiding behind the first standard, you can fight while adapting to the tactics of the Broken Army. The official positions of generals at all levels remain unchanged, and the positions are uniformly arranged by Zou Wei, the deputy privy envoy, and the military ranks are changed according to the military ranks of the broken army. The arrears and military salaries are made up at one time! Wen Tianxiang glanced at Su Liuyi and added quietly.

Since Zhang Shijie and Su Liu were defeated and surrendered, how to arrange their positions has become a difficult problem for the Metropolitan Governor's Office. If he provided equipment with an open mind and rebuilt a Jianghuai army, he would inevitably be opposed by Du Hu, Liu Zijun and other generals who had been excluded by Zhang Shijie back then. At the critical moment of the stalemate with the Northern Yuan, it is necessary for the military order to be absolutely unimpeded, and at this time, it is necessary to establish a force within the court that can always elbow itself, and a fool will do that.

But the loyalty of Su Liuyi and other generals to the imperial court is still admirable. The soldiers who insisted on resisting the Yuan on the two roads in Quang Nam, if they could be integrated, would also be a not weak force. In terms of dealing with the foreign coward of the Northern Yuan, there is no fundamental conflict between the guys. What needs to be distinguished is only who is the main and who is secondary.

Therefore, most of the governors and think tanks came up with such a solution for Wen Tianxiang. The second and fifth two bids suffered a lot of losses in Yong'an, and basically became an empty shelf. Let the first, second, and fifth and third bids go out of Fujian at the same time, and the resistance forces along the way can be justifiably supplemented into the second and fifth bids. When the new forces became familiar with the methods and environment of the Broken Army, according to their usual experience, even if they were driven to set up another door, most of them would not want to leave.

As the nominal leader of this team, Zou Wei is the best candidate. He has the title of privy deputy envoy who was sealed by the imperial court last year in order to divide the army. In terms of official position, he is only one level lower than Zhang Shijie, and he has the power to intervene in all major affairs in the army. In addition, Zou Wei has a soft and generous temperament, which can ensure that everyone is treated equally, and will not make the Jianghuai soldiers feel discriminated against.

"Why, isn't General Su unwilling to go on the expedition?" Seeing that Su Liuyi was still in a daze, Uncle Zou Xunfeng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and asked.

"The last general obeys!" Su Liuyi gritted his teeth and bowed his head in response. The pain in my heart was like a pinprick in my heart, and the characters in front of me gradually blurred.

"Then go down and prepare, tomorrow's fifth watch, the army will leave on time!" Wen Tianxiang commanded softly, looked at Zou Xun, and then looked at the generals of the Broken Army who were on guard like a great enemy, and shook his head gently.

Su Liuyi saluted again, staggered, and slowly walked out of the handsome hall. Where I stood there, there were a few clear water stains.

"He can't forget the Jianghuai Army!" Zou Xun looked at Su Liuyi's back and gradually disappeared, and said with a sigh. Back then, he and Wen Tianxiang and others traveled thousands of miles to the Xing Dynasty, and they were controlled by others everywhere, and they had a deep understanding of the taste of being under the fence. Now the situation is reversed, but there is no happiness after revenge in my heart. On the contrary, I deeply sympathize with the other person's situation.

This feeling is not clear, and the Tao is not understood. Zou Xun asked himself if he was not a person with a narrow personality, and open-mindedness and generosity have always been his self-cultivation goals. However, at this moment, he had to do something that was not open-minded and generous.

"Whether you can pinch the Jianghuai Army and the Broken Army together, Uncle Feng, it's up to you, the privy deputy!" Wen Tianxiang smiled bitterly and responded.

The first time he got power, he felt uncomfortable from the heart outward. But if he didn't, he really couldn't guarantee that as the area under his control expanded and the existential crisis eased, the contradictions within the imperial court would not become bigger and bigger.

Compared with the blow from behind, the war with the Northern Yuan was easier. After all, the two sides come from different camps, and the relationship between friend and foe can be divided gently. And behind it, who knows what kind of thoughts are hidden under which face.

I'm afraid that for a long time in the future, I will have to wear a different mask.

Wen Tianxiang thought depressedly, his chest was stuffy and painful. He sighed softly and walked slowly out the door. Before going out, his leg stumbled, and his body stumbled slightly.

No one stepped forward to help, and seeing that Wen Tianxiang had finally taken the first step, Zeng Huan and several staff officers looked at each other, and their faces were a little appreciative.
