Butterfly Transformation (8)

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was busy.

Although through intelligence synthesis and analysis, the staff officers of the Grand Governor's Office had already calculated that the war in the north would end within this year, when the Mongol strategic center would be transferred to the south. But no one expects Beiyuan to move too fast.

Boyan's southward movement means that Naiyan, an ally of the Dadu Governor's Office who has spent countless financial, material, and manpower support, will not be able to restrain the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and it also means that the Great Song Dynasty, which has just recovered some vitality, will have a premature showdown with the Northern Yuan regime.

If Boyan doesn't come, it will be enough, and once he comes, he will cooperate with the country, is the Great Song Dynasty ready for this?

No one could give a definite answer, and Wen Tianxiang himself was not sure. Over the years, the reason why he was able to deal with Kublai Khan at the strategic level with ease relied on Wen Zhong's understanding of the overall situation in his memory. It relies on familiarity with the history of another time and space, and this advantage has faded over time. After the fall of Naiyan, he and Kublai Khan stood on the same starting line again.

Each of them made a move in the dark, can he defeat Kublai Khan, who has the name of a generation of heavenly pride?

Wen Tianxiang shook his head, trying his best to drive the chaotic thoughts out of his head. His eyes swept over the messenger again, smiled kindly, and thanked: "The news you brought is very important to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will thank your general for his high righteousness." But I wonder if the strong man can let me know the name of your general? The Battle of the Two Rivers is imminent, and I hope to get further help from your general! ”

"This?" The messenger Zhang Shan never expected that Prime Minister Da Song would be so polite to him, and looked around, not knowing whether to leak the name of the mastermind behind it in front of so many people. When Wen Tianxiang was thinking about it just now, Zhang Shan had already peeked at the people in the hall, except for Wen Tianxiang himself, no one made him feel trustworthy. The middle-aged man in his thirties standing on Wen Tianxiang's left had a murderous face, and the gaze in his eyes was like a knife, and every time he looked at it, it seemed that he was going to stab you in the heart, and he dug up all the secrets and announced them to the public. Zhang Shan looked at him, and goosebumps appeared on his body. And this person is not the most terrifying, standing not far from Wen Tianxiang's right, the fat man who doesn't smile or speak, and smiles his eyebrows, eyes, and nose are all squeezed together, which is even more terrifying, every time he laughs once, Zhang Shan feels that he has been sold once, and after he is sold, he may have to give money to the number of people.

In addition to these two people, there was also a kind-faced civil official in the room with a white beard. A heroic woman with straight shoulders. A handsome and dashing scholar with a calm demeanor, a burly figure with thick joints and pale blue eyes...... With so many strange people in one place, Zhang Shan felt a hundred and twenty uneasy about his own safety and that of the Lord's envoy.

Wen Tianxiang seemed to know what Zhang Shan was thinking, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "It's okay, they all have a deep enmity with the Mongols, and everyone's head is worth hundreds of thousands of yuan in Kublai Khan." But it doesn't hurt for you to say what you know. The more detailed it is, the more beneficial it will be to the Liangjiang war! ”

Zhang Shan's shoulders involuntarily straightened up, and he felt a little more confident for no reason. The general of his own family is already extremely generous to his subordinates, and his subordinates are willing to serve him to the death. Compared with the prime minister in front of him, the respect of his own generals for people is far from this level of confidence. After thinking about it, he replied in a low voice: "My general's surname is Li, and he turned out to be the commander under the command of Lord Xia Gui. Over the years, he has endured humiliation and burdens, and finally survived to the next 10,000 positions. I was going to go home to retire, but Da Chun used his corpse to kill people, and my general couldn't see it......"

"But General Li Zhen!" Without waiting for him to finish speaking, the cold-faced general standing on Wen Tianxiang's left stepped forward and asked first.

"Exactly, how do you know the name of my general?" Zhang Shan was taken aback and asked with wide eyes.

"I have heard that General Li has the style of a famous general in ancient times, but it is a pity that the pearl is secretly invested!" The cold-faced general replied with a smile, "Under Liu Zijun, I have admired your general for a long time, but I didn't expect that he still hasn't forgotten his homeland!" ”

"You are Liu, Liu ......" Zhang Shan was even more nervous, and almost said the three words Liu Yan directly. It is rumored in the army that there is a Liu Yan King under Wen Tianxiang, who is responsible for doing shady things. In recent years, the cases of assassination of officials in the north and south have been related to him, and even Li Heng, the commander of the First Army, was also under the escort of the Third Army and was taken the head by Liu Zijun. When he heard the word "admiration" in his mouth, eighty percent of them were nothing good.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shan broke out in a cold sweat, arched his hand, and explained to Wen Tianxiang in a panic: "When I poisoned the river, my general strongly opposed it, but I had no choice but to ......speak lightly."

"Well, with today's goodness, it is better than all yesterday's wrongs!" Wen Tianxiang waved his hand generously and comforted. He immediately turned the topic to the composition of the troops and horses led by Dachun, and asked the proportion of the Mongol army, the Tanma Red Army, the Han army and the new annexed army, the generals, and the deployment situation, and even whether Lu Shikui on the Jiangnan East Road had close ties with Dachun, and the exchanges between the two troops and horses were also clearly asked.

Zhang Shan is Li Zhen's confidant, and since the main general fell out of line with Da Chun, he has begun to pay attention to the internal affairs of the Yuan army. He gave as many answers as possible to the questions asked by Wen Tianxiang, and if he was not very clear about himself, he honestly answered "unclear" or "inaccurate".

It was the first time he had spoken so humbly to anyone since he put on the new annex uniform. Unconsciously, more than two hours passed, Wen Tianxiang, Liu Zijun, Du Gui and others wanted to ask all the questions they wanted to ask, Wen Tianxiang ordered someone to take a thin ring of soft armor, a broken blade, personally held it in front of Zhang Shan and said: "The strong man came to die, Wen Mou has nothing to thank." The things of gold and silver, even if you want to be strong, you don't love them. Fame and wealth will defile your ears when you mention it. This soft armor and a steel knife are all custom-made for the guards of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. ”

"How dare Zhang accept such a big gift from the prime minister!" The messenger bowed down and choked up. He knew that the Broken Army did not bow down, so he did not bend the knee. I only think that a legendary character like Wen Tianxiang can talk to himself like this, and even if he dies on the battlefield in the next moment, it will not be in vain in life.

"The strong man does not have to be polite, if it is feasible, I am afraid that in a few days, the strong man will need to sneak back to the enemy camp and run for national affairs. This soft armor is worn under the number one coat, and it is easy for others to see it. Put on him to keep you shouldering this heavy responsibility. Wen Tianxiang said undoubtedly, as if he had calculated that Zhang Shan would not shirk his life for the Broken Army.

Hearing this, Zhang Shan was no longer polite, took the armor and sword, gave a deep salute, and said: "The prime minister has orders, the sword mountain and the sea of fire are not to be resigned!" ”

Wen Tianxiang nodded, and ordered someone to arrange for Zhang Shan to rest first. After the staff officers sorted out the main content of the conversation just now, they looked through it again, and then asked everyone in a calm voice: "It seems that this game of chess in Liaodong is about to be closed in the palace." If Boyan doesn't come, it will be thunderous. The staff officers have already drawn up the situation map, so let's see if there is any good plan to push the battle situation to the most favorable situation for us before Boyan goes south? ”

Mrs. Xu, who rarely attended the meetings of the Broken Army, came to Fuzhou to discuss with Wen Tianxiang about the resettlement of local armed forces in the newly recovered area, just in time. Hearing Wen Tianxiang ask everyone, he thought about it and took the lead in saying, "How can the prime minister judge that this person is not deliberately sent by Da Chun?" ”

"The fine work sent to the north has already reported the matter of Boyan's reorganization of troops and horses in Dadu, but he can't determine the specific time of Boyan's southward departure. This person also failed to give a specific time, so it is unlikely that he was a spy. Moreover, regardless of whether the information is accurate or not, the Mongol army's southward movement is a foregone conclusion. We must be fully prepared before the Mongol army crosses the river! Wen Tianxiang explained to Mrs. Xu in detail.

After integrating the Xing Song Army into the system of the Broken Army, the Metropolitan Governor's Office tried its best to make the senior generals of the Xing Song Army not feel excluded from the core, so the daily operation and organizational structure of the Broken Army needed to be explained clearly to the new generals. Mrs. Xu was usually busy with local security and court security affairs, and had no time to pay attention to these matters. When he encountered the opportunity, Wen Tianxiang felt that it was natural for her to integrate into the center of the Broken Army.

"We have planted a lot of eyeliner in the north, and if there is any big move in the court over there, we will have news here within ten days!" Liu Zijun followed Wen Tianxiang's words and explained to Mrs. Xu, "After Boyan forced Haidu to sign a peace treaty, he immediately mobilized Mongolian soldiers from all over the country on the order of Kublai Khan to prepare to attack Jiangnan. He had been preparing for a long time, but it was only because of the tight fiscal and tax constraints of the Northern Yuan that he could not get too much grain and grass for a while, and he could not make enough firearms, so he delayed it. From the analysis of the current situation, I am afraid that as soon as Dachun is at a disadvantage here, Boyan will immediately lead his troops to pounce. Even if the preparation is not sufficient, it is better than waiting for us to take all the two rivers and then rush to fight the fire! ”

"Boyan is a long-established general, no matter his ability or prestige, he can't compare with Dachun. This person has almost never lost a battle in his life, and is very far-sighted, when Kublai Khan and Ali Buge competed for the throne, it was he who proposed to take Lin'an first, and then go north to seize power by destroying the Song Dynasty! Fujian appeasement envoy Chen Longfu added on the side, although as an enemy party, he still admired Boyan's talent for seeking the country very much.

"Damn it!" Mrs. Xu scolded resentfully. The Ping Song Dynasty is a great achievement in the eyes of the Mongols, but it contains the blood of many southern people.

"The scourge lives for 10,000 years, and people like him are scheming, whether they are in the court or in the army, they can eat well. It's not that easy to die. According to intelligence, this time he brought out all the old troops that had been cultivated for many years, and there were more than 110,000 Mongolian troops already assembled in Zhuozhou, and soldiers and horses were moving to Zhuozhou one after another. Kublai Khan was in a hurry, he didn't want to spend any more time with us......" Wen Tianxiang continued.

"He came with the strength of the country, and we must meet him with the strength of the country!" Mrs. Xu suggested loudly, and suddenly remembered the recent eager small actions of the young emperor Zhao Yu's "Lao Jun" and Chen Yizhong, Zhang Shijie and others some time ago, her expression darkened, and her brows wrinkled slightly.

"Yes, the power of the country!" Wen Tianxiang saw Mrs. Xu's frowning willow eyebrows, and knew that she remembered something. This feeling of being like a spirit made his heart tighten, shook his head, and said with a smile: "At the moment of the big war, we must mobilize all our forces, and the emperor will take the time to go there......"

The convening of the Covenant Conference avoided a fratricidal strife within the Great Song Dynasty and covered up all kinds of contradictions as much as possible. However, the negative effect of the convention was that those implicit contradictions could be aroused at any time, dividing the Great Song Dynasty from within. However, for the sake of the majesty of the law, the Metropolitan Governor's Office cannot do anything illegal to prevent problems from happening.

Mrs. Xu raised her head, just at the above Tianxiang's gaze that contained a touch of worry and loneliness, and felt a softness and pain in her heart for no reason, and she forgot what she wanted to say. turned his head sideways in a panic and promised loudly: "Prime Minister rest assured, with Bi Niang here, no one can set off a big storm!" ”

"I'm sorry for you!" Wen Tianxiang also felt a pain in his heart, his eyes swept to the generals, and he said incorrectly. But unconsciously, he forgot to call Mrs. Xu's official position.

"Chen, as the wife of the Great Song Baoguo, contributes to the country, how can it be considered difficult. I don't understand what lies ahead. But the things in the rear will be exhausted, and it will be just after death! Mrs. Xu didn't seem to notice that Wen Tianxiang's tone was wrong, so she smiled calmly and replied.

"If that's the case, the last general has an idea about the operation ahead!" Zeng Huan, the commander of the staff, interjected just right, resolving the embarrassment implicit in the atmosphere. As the chief of staff of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, in addition to planning, he also considered a lot of outside things. At this moment, Wen Tianxiang needs to face not only the enemy on the frontal battlefield, but also the open guns and hidden arrows in the back, Zeng Huan also has to help him watch out.

"Let's put it on, the same old way, we can't think of a comprehensive plan, someone proposes one first, everyone looks for the omissions, and then tries to supplement and improve him!" Wen Tianxiang glanced at Zeng Huan approvingly and said with a smile.

"Before Boyan made a move, we were thinking about how to defeat him, and it was estimated that it would be difficult. The Yangtze River is so long, just relying on the sailors to attack along the river cannot prevent Boyan from crossing the river. I think that at this moment, the best strategy is to fully grasp the opportunity in front of you and kill Da Chun, Fan Wenhu, and Lu Shikui before Boyan crosses the river. As soon as these forces are gone, let's deal with Boyan again, and the pressure will be much less! Zeng Huan analyzed very methodically.

"I'm afraid it's not easy, Boyan crosses the river, it is estimated that it will be within half a month. Fan Wenhu, a dead pig, is not counted, the soldiers and horses in the hands of Da Chun and Lu Shikui add up to 200,000, and the 200,000 army will be wiped out in half a month, I am afraid it is beyond the power of our army! Liu Zijun reminded sensibly on the side. (Please go to 17k to support genuine guidebook)

The magic weapon of the captives to defeat the enemy was firearms, and only with the prestige of the battles in Fujian and Liangguang and the fear of the enemy because of their unfamiliarity with firearms tactics could they launch this counteroffensive. However, the shortcomings of the firearms unit are also very obvious, the requirements for logistical support are high, the speed of movement is slow, and the combat effectiveness cannot be formed without the protection of other arms, and many conditions restrict the captive army from being able to cross thousands of miles like the Yuan army. The production capacity of the ordnance factories in Fujian and other places and the high requirements for the quality of soldiers by firearms and arms also constrained the army from developing and growing at a faster pace in a short period of time.

By pressing all the forces of Fujian and Liangguang, the captivity army has a chance to defeat Dachun, but there is no possibility of completely annihilating Dachun. Once the two sides reach a critical moment in the battle, the sudden appearance of a force on the flank of the battlefield, even if it is only a few thousand cavalry, may lead to a reversal of the overall situation.

Therefore, Liu Zijun believes that although Zeng Huan's idea is good, it is not feasible at all.

Zeng Huan nodded and agreed with Liu Zijun's reminder, but he didn't think that his suggestion was not feasible, came to the map, and continued: "What General Liu said is extremely true, and Zeng also thought of this. But we can't put Da Chun, Lu Shikui and Fan Wenhu together. These three forces are nominally at the disposal of Dachun, but in fact they are fighting separately. At present, General Chen Daju (Chen Hangyan) has advanced to the outskirts of Lin'an, and if General Du Hu's naval division can arrive on time, within ten days, Fan Wenhu will annihilate the entire army. Therefore, Fan Jiajun can be regarded as the ...... in our pocket" (please go to 17k to support the genuine guide)

Several generals laughed, and the slightly tense atmosphere was cleaned up by Zeng Huan's confident analysis. Wen Tianxiang nodded with satisfaction and encouraged: "Okay, good." You go on. ”

"As soon as Fan Jiajun died, even before he died, with Lu Shikui's character, he would inevitably seek self-preservation. If we send a few soldiers and horses on the Jiangnan East Road to bluff, he will definitely retreat north in a hurry, and in order to avoid getting too close to Dachun or being intercepted and killed by General Chen, there is only one route he can take, that is, to withdraw to Chizhou, where there are several mountains as barriers, which can not only prevent our army from pursuing, but also withdraw to Jiangbei at any time. But when he got there, he was no longer able to control the battle of the two rivers, so this group of men and horses could also be regarded as non-existent for the time being! ”

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback. If the facts are really as Zeng Huan analyzed, before Boyan went south, the only thing left for the Broken Army to concentrate all its forces to deal with was Dachun. Although this force is very large, there is no doubt that there are many more chances of winning than attacking three people at the same time.

"There is such a character under the command of the prime minister!" Mrs. Xu secretly praised in her heart, and looked Zeng Huan up and down. When she was in the Battle of Shaowu, she had experienced the demeanor of this scholar joining the army, but at that time, everyone's light was covered by Wen Tianxiang alone, and there was not much dazzling in others. (Please go to 17k to support genuine guidebook)

And four years later, looking at the people under Wen Tianxiang, Mrs. Xu gradually had an impression. There is a saying that "if you don't pass for three days, you should be impressed". Four years have passed, can the original eagle not grow wings?

Thinking of this, she added a lot of confidence to the upcoming fierce battle. Concentrate and continue to listen carefully, only to see Zeng Huan marked a few strokes on the map, and proposed: "Liangzhejiang and Liangjiang, in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, there are many heroes of the Great Song Dynasty, if their strength is added, the number of enemies and friends is not much different, as long as Dachun experiences a defeat, there is no way out." It's just that we must give the "heroes who are waiting and seeing" the confidence that they will win, and this confidence is ...... "Zeng Huan marked a thick line north of the river," telling them that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has the strength to compete with the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Northern Expedition! ”

"Northern Expedition?" Mrs. Xu stood up from her chair in surprise, this idea was too bold, with the current strength of the Broken Army, I am afraid that any group of men and horses going north will end up with the same ending.

"Yes, the teacher crossed the river and pointed directly at Dadu. This move can not only encourage the fighting spirit of Jiangbei Haojie, but also drag down the main force of Boyan, so that he will not be able to go south in the short term! There are ten pros and ten disadvantages, whether it is worth the risk, and who to send to the adventure, it is up to the prime minister to decide! Zeng Huan said loudly, faintly revealing the style of Guo Fengxiao in the past.
