Chapter 1 Stirring the Tide
"I don't see a reason why I have to do it!" Du Hu said with a snort.
"We don't fight for one family, but the heroes of the world think we are fighting for the court, and they are all watching what we do. At this time, we can't chill the hearts of the heroes of the world. Guiqing, no matter what you are thinking at the moment, you must remember that we can't get away from everyone around us, just like those boats in the river, jumping at the head of the tide, but we can't get out of this tide! ”
"But can we really afford this tide?" Du Hu asked faintly. He knew what Wen Tianxiang was talking about, and those thoughts of his own were really public, and in the eyes of the world, he must be a sinner who was more hateful than Beiyuan.
I just had these thoughts, and it was already so unbearable. And the person who made himself have these thoughts is under more pressure.
It's no wonder that the prime minister will go crazy on Baizhang Ridge. Suddenly, Du Hu realized that he understood something, as if the estrangement between him and Wen Tianxiang had gradually grown, and it began to be transparent.
"I don't know if I can bear it, but at this moment, we're having fun!" Wen Tianxiang smiled, slowly walked to the riverside, took off his shoes, and walked behind a boulder by the river.
A big wave crashed against the rocks by the river, and the white water splashed through his clothes. The mist dissipated, and a solid arm emerged from the wet clothes.
Chen Yi and others rule the country with the word power, but now, Wen Tianxiang has an army that has won a hundred battles. When the strength of the two sides is equal, power can play a role. And once one of them is too strong than the other, the scheming is just a pale joke.
No matter how fancy the theories of the conspirators are, it is enough to overpower them with strength. This is like the conspiracy between the Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Yuan, no matter how you play, you will lose. Because there is too much difference in strength between the two sides, the stronger side can be completely unreasonable.
"Guiqing, do you remember when we waved our troops on our backs and tried to recover southern Jiangnan, Prime Minister Chen Cheng and General Zhang insisted on going east and attacking Quanzhou, Fuzhou and Shaowu?" Wen Tianxiang's voice came from the sound of the waves, accompanied by the roar of the tide.
"I remember that at that time, everyone said that Prime Minister Chen Cheng made this wrong decision because he was angry with us. He tried to recover the two Zhejiang that he had lost from his hands and wash away the shame of his decision-making mistakes! Du Hu replied loudly, walked into the river, and enjoyed the joy of watching the tide side by side with Wen Tianxia.
Between the layers of waves, Chen Fusong held high the red flag and stood at the head of a flat boat. The boat was undulating on the crest of the waves, but the red flag in his hand was not wet by the waves. Countless sailors cheered and drove the warship behind the boat, the distance between the ships as much as possible to keep the same distance between the boats, and in order to achieve this goal, each sailor exerted all his strength.
"Now, let's conquer Sanfu with a remnant army. Prime Minister Chen and General Zhang, who have nearly 200,000 soldiers, are not afraid of the world's comments? Wen Tianxiang asked with a smile, as if he had already seen through the mystery behind the waves.
"This, no, they don't dare to come!" Du Hu suddenly woke up, and then he was a little lost. "If they don't come here, the world is so big, where can they be accommodated?"
"It's still Guangzhou, according to the news sent by our eyeliner, several people and horses who were unified under the orders of Dachun have begun to disperse because of the lack of food and grass. Pu Shougeng is rushing back to Quanzhou with his fleet in the starry night. Suodu went to Chaozhou and tried to find General Ma Fa to avenge his revenge. Liu Shen was marching to Zhangzhou, and it was estimated that he was preparing to attack Nanjianzhou and find trouble with the Xingsong army. Dachun's headquarters rushed to Shaozhou to deal with Chen Hangyan and pacify the back road. In front of him, there were only tens of thousands of new troops stationed in the city of Guangzhou, and the city wall was demolished by Da Chun when he entered the city last time......"
I didn't force them to resist the Yuan, and I won't let the Broken Army lose the foundation of the bloody battle. I'm just, let the court have one more choice? Wen Tianxiang thought with a smile, this was a compromise that he had struggled to make many times in his heart. It is also a more appropriate method at present.
The ancestral system is important, but if it is no longer suitable for the development of the country, it must be abandoned. It is not a matter of the interests of a group of people or the face of the founders, but a matter of the survival of the country.
According to intelligence analysis, Beiyuan has made strategic adjustments. With their own understanding of Zhang Shijie and Chen Yizhong, they will not sit idly by and ignore this fighter. Otherwise, they would have to come to Fuzhou, and in that case, the remaining men and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, under the pressure of the people and the imperial court, would have to be reorganized and handed over to a trustworthy commander.
At this time, regardless of his record and prestige, he has surpassed Zhang Shijie. Therefore, once Xingchao drifts to Fuzhou, there will definitely be no more situations that Du Hu is worried about, he is hollowed out, and the decision-making power is occupied by Chen Yi and others.
Wen Tianxiang has already learned a lesson once and will not suffer a second loss. On the contrary, in order to continue the bloodline of this nation, he had to set up a trap to either obtain the command of all soldiers and horses, or force Zhang Shijie and Chen Yizhong to take a more active attitude into the struggle against the Northern Yuan.
"Is the prime minister sure?" Du Hu opened his arms and asked while greeting the baptism of broken waves splashing up on the reef.
"Not only is I sure of this, but I can also be sure that Dachun's so-called conquest of Chen Hangyan and Liu Shen's conquest of Mrs. Xu are just to cover people's eyes, and their purpose is actually to destroy our army. Once Da Chun returned to Yingzhou and expelled the rebel armies from Shaozhou and Xiongzhou, his brigade would definitely turn around and pounce on Tingzhou and plot against Shao Wu from behind. And Liu Shen and Suo Du, after entering Nanjianzhou and Chaozhou, will definitely come straight over. At that time, our neighbors, the Pu family, who had not moved for a long time, would also follow the Mongols to Fuzhou, and ours would face the Second Battle of Shaowu!" Wen Tianxiang said with a smile, full of pride, "I'm afraid that right now, on the list of the Tartar Emperors, the first one to be cut off is us, and the second is the court on the sea." Therefore, at this time, we must work together among our own brothers to seize every opportunity to strengthen ourselves, and it is better not to have a struggle of will! ”
"Prime Minister, your Qing knows your mistake, please punish the Prime Minister!"
"What kind of punishment, Guiqing, let's be born and die together, what you want, I understand. You know what I'm looking for. Although General Xiao and General Lin are bent on pretending to be the imperial court, this is also a good thing, after all, it is better than those who are bent on surrendering. Besides, people will change, half a year ago, who would have thought that Old Master Chen would talk foul words with Zhang Tang, I'm afraid, the two of them can't stand together! ”
"That's right!" Thinking of Zhang Tang's rudeness and Chen Longfu's pedantry back then, Du Hu smiled. Although there are disputes between each other, after all, the affection to fight side by side is in the heart. "Prime Minister, since people have gathered us on all sides, what are you going to do?"
"Guiqing, I have heard a strange saying that war is the continuation of politics?"
"I haven't heard of it! This is a fresh formulation! Du Hu's eyes widened, what Wen Tianxiang said just now was no less than the turbulent waves in front of him in his heart. He came from a family membership, and although he liked to learn the swordsmanship of an enemy when he was a teenager, he read no less books than anyone else in the army. Wen Tianxiang got this aphorism from Wen Zhong's memory, which was not mentioned in any of the classics of the hundred princes. No matter what, Du Hu can't correspond to his knowledge, but with his personal experience, he knows that this is extremely correct.
"When political goals are not acceptable to others, they are often tried to be resolved through war. To be placed in a country is to fight and quarrel with each other. Between countries, it means that the army competes on the battlefield. Just like now, the purpose of the Northern Yuan is to conquer all the lands and turn everyone into slaves of the Mongols, we can't accept it, so there will be war between us" Wen Tianxiang whispered to Du Hu about his understanding of war, with a little ridicule in his tone.
"If we agree to be slaves, of course the world will be peaceful. It is estimated that those great Confucians will also praise us for adapting to the times, or his grandmother knows how to judge the situation and know the destiny of heaven! Zhang Tang walked along the riverside and took Wen Tianxiang's words, "A few days ago, a few bastards said that we didn't know how to advance or retreat, which caused misery. It seems that the atrocities of the Yuan army were all caused by our resistance! ”
Wen Tianxiang turned his head and smiled at Zhang Tang. He had already heard the talk of some people in the city. Some wealthy families in Fuzhou have been secretly scattering their family property outside the city recently, preparing to relocate, and he knows these things, but he has not decided what level of means to deal with these people.
Some people have always been famous, and their arguments are very demagogic. “
The reasons for those people are simple, and they are very righteous. If the captivity army cannot guarantee victory over the Yuan Dynasty, don't blame the local people for the disaster. After the Yuan army came, the jade was burned. In their eyes, the bloody army is stone, and those of them who move their mouths and shake their fans are jade. The elite of the elite.
They are not bullying Wen Tianxiang with a good heart and not killing innocents. But the deceived Wen Tianxiang cherishes his name, cherishes the name of having the courage to admonish, and will not easily turn his face with them. So they can use all possible means. Including secretly sending people to communicate with the Mongols.
Once Wen Tianxiang responds, they can make a gesture of grievance and make a reputation for daring to brush the tiger's beard. He even went to the Mongols to ask for merit and receive rewards.
"We do our own thing, so why bother with them barking. Some people are looking forward to touching them, so that they will be worth more! Du Hu replied proudly, and his words were full of disdain for the talker.
Do nothing, make the least amount of mistakes. Giving others the most time to pick on the thorns.
"It's true that you don't have to worry about them, Zhang Tang, you came just in time, I was talking to Guiqing about the situation in front of me, Da Chun has made a move, we must take some action", Wen Tianxiang smiled and diverted the topic, no matter if those rotten Confucians who like to shout loudly shout, the people will naturally choose according to their own practical interests. The ** in Wen Zhong's memory was powerless to survive behind the Japanese, and the Eighth Route Army, which was accused of being a bandit by some scoundrels, survived in the rear of the Japanese and was supported by the people. What is done with actions often cannot be erased with words.
"I want to listen to the Prime Minister!" Zhang Tang and Du Hu gave the salute together.
"Come, go to the beach", Wen Tianxiang walked out from behind the rocks, shook the water droplets on his clothes, walked away from the tide, picked up a branch, drew a sketch of the situation on the ground, and analyzed in a low voice. "Da Chun is now playing a trick, ready to give us a sneak attack by surprise, but we just won't let him get his wish. You see, Liu Shen's people fought with the idea of the Xing Song army. The combat effectiveness of the Xing Song army under Mrs. Xu is not high, but with Zhang Wanan and a few of them to help with the training, plus Zhang Yuan and a few of them to assist in command, taking advantage of the terrain in the area of Nanjianzhou and Zhangzhou, they may not be afraid of Liu Shen. Chen Hangyan's combat method has always been to run away if he can't beat him, and Da Chun may not be able to take him down for a while, so we don't have to worry about Chen Hangyan's safety. Before the Mongols arrived, Pu Shougeng did not dare to provoke us easily, so Quanzhou, which was closest to us, did not pose much of a threat to us. Now, the most worrying thing is Chaozhou, the last time General Ma Fa held on to Chaozhou for more than a month, so Suodu had to take a detour. This time, Suodu will definitely not let go of the nails that stand in his way. Once Suodu conquered Chaozhou and successfully entered Zhangzhou, we could join forces with Liu Shen, and at that time, we would have to send troops to support Mrs. Xu. Dachun's roundabout outflanking purpose is basically achieved, and several Yuan armies will speed up their movements at the same time......"
Wen Tianxiang paused and pointed at Chaozhou with a branch. "So, we have to take action on the periphery in advance to break the game of Dachun. First of all, someone needs to lead a small number of soldiers to Chaozhou by boat, and the longer Suodu is dragged in Chaozhou, the longer it will take us to repair..."
"I'll take someone there, my lord will give me a battalion, and I promise to stay in Chaozhou for half a month!" Zhang Tangxing interrupted Wen Tianxiang's words and took the initiative to ask.
"My suggestion is for Guiqing to go, he has fought a blocking battle and is familiar with the routine of the Mongols, in addition, he has a high position in the imperial court, and he can cooperate well with General Ma Fa" Wen Tianxiang shook his head and vetoed Zhang Tang's request.
"Well, the last general swears to live and die together in Chaozhou." Du Hu nodded, his gaze was extremely resolute.
"It's not for you to live and die with Chaozhou, the information just came this afternoon, counting the time consumed on the road, when you arrive in Chaozhou by boat, Chaozhou has probably been lost. Therefore, I hope that you will lead people to shore along the Han River, and if Suodu leads troops to evacuate, you will immediately make a gesture of attacking Chaozhou, or seek an opportunity to take Chaozhou down. If Sodu pounces back, you immediately take the men on board and flee along the waterway. Our sailors of the Broken Army have not yet been trained, so they can only cooperate. The main force of this dispatch is the people of the Fang family, the third leader Fang Kui with sixteen sea ships, and more than 2,000 people are under your command...."
"The prime minister is to let the last general lead the sea, the righteous thief" Du Hu couldn't turn a corner for a while, although he was informal, but the identity gap between the children of the family and the pirates still made him a little difficult to adapt.
"It's not about leading the righteous thieves, but about being a pirate, or learning how to fight water battles while socializing with the heroes of the sea" Wen Tianxiang looked at Du Hu's eyes and said, "Do you still remember that when you opened the mansion in Nanjian Prefecture, you once persuaded me to take advantage of the tide and go to the coast to harass Dayuan." These days, I have repeatedly thought, let's build a sailor, you are the best candidate for commander. But you, like me, have never fought in a naval battle, so you first go to the master of Fang San and learn the essentials of combat at sea. By the way, exercise our team, and when the time is ripe, the Beiyuan coast, you can gallop at will! ”
"Prime Minister Xie!" Du Hu slammed to the ground. From Wen Tianxiang's eyes, what he saw was trust, brother-like trust. This kind of trust is more important than the official position of the imperial court.
"I used ten artillery pieces to exchange this support army with the Fang family. Therefore, Guiqing, you must not let our army lose money, if you can drag Suo Du on the road for a day, you will drag him for a day. If we can create momentum and force General Zhang Shijie to send troops to fight Suodu, the pressure on our captive army will be reduced by ten points. In addition, when and Chen Zijing have already taken action against Liu Shen. The Su family is ready to come forward and contain the Pu family. If Da Chun takes a detour of strategy this time and fights alone, we can give him another Shaowu defense battle. Even if he can retreat with his whole body, the Tartar Emperor will not let him go easily!"
"I said that the prime minister has not moved recently, and he was going to play with Da Chun. Such a far away bureau, why didn't Lao Zhang see it", Zhang Tang grinned, full of flattery, and as he spoke, his tone suddenly changed, "But such a big game, there is nothing to do with our Lao Zhang, wouldn't it be annoying!" ”
"I won't let you be idle, your first standard has concentrated all the veterans of our Broken Army, and it would be a pity to abandon it. I am going to discuss it with everyone, and the staff officers will formulate a plan, with the first standard as the main force and Tao Laomo's eighth standard as the support, cross the Min River, expel the new annexed army in the Fuqing area, and take the entire Nanjian Prefecture. In this way, once the Pu family tried to attack Fuzhou from the sea, the first target immediately bypassed the Xinghua army and hit his old nest Quanzhou. In addition, there is a threat from the first standard, and the Pu family does not dare to cooperate with Liu Shen to deal with Mrs. Xu's Xing Song army, and Zhang Wanan and they are safer..."Wen Tianxiang sketched and explained. Through the defense of Shao Wu, his understanding of war has deepened a lot. The focus has risen from the battle of one city and one place, the command of a battle, to the height of large-scale strategic arrangement.
This height, whether it was Wen Tianxiang or Wen Zhong back then, has never reached it.
