Chapter 135: Snake Surprise
"What? None of them came back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Li Ting's eyes were full of doubts, as if he had seen something incredible, all this actually happened right under his nose, you must know that there were as many as 30,000 people behind him.
The victory at the mouth of the Jingjiang River destroyed the fighting spirit of the Song people, Yuezhou City went down without a fight, several counties in the territory have recently sent a letter of surrender, everything is smoother than Ali Hague expected, so it will divide the troops to plunder the land, the 30,000 people led by Li Ting are mainly used in the direction of Tanzhou, after he entered the territory of Tanzhou, he also did not encounter any resistance, came to Xiangyin County, and did not list the formation, the Song people opened the city gate, once made him think that he could drive straight in, with the men and horses in his hands, directly take the biggest nail in Tanzhou, It turns out that a nail is a nail, it will pierce people, and a piercing is bloody.
Several scouts sent out in a row lost contact, Li Ting would not be naïve to think that their squad of more than a dozen people would directly rush into Tanzhou City and give themselves a big gift, that is, they met the enemy, and they were fierce enemies, because none of these Mongolian cavalry came back.
So, he immediately reacted, no longer sent a squad of cavalry, but began to prepare for battle in a regular manner, before the enemy situation is known, it is a taboo for soldiers to go deep alone, even if he is as brave as him, he will not be carried away by a small setback, which is what the coach Ali Hague has repeatedly explained.
The gate of Xiangyin County, which changed the flag, was closed again, and the Han army infantry took over the city defense, leaning on each other with the large battalion stationed under the city, and the deep ditch and wide hao, and the antler fence were arranged around the camp one by one, and the few patrol horses were only vigilant in the surrounding range of several miles, just to prevent the surprise attack of the Song people, and the careful measures suddenly made Jiang Cai's department useless.
"Immediately report back to Tanzhou, Tartar stopped, and there was no sign of continuing to move forward."
Jiang Cai watched their actions coldly from a high place, and there was no frustration on his face, because this was the purpose of their trip in the first place.
Like the Yuan people, Tanzhou, which is more than 100 miles away, has entered a state of war readiness, the camp that originally stood outside the city has been demolished, the city wall is densely covered with defenders, and a large number of guards have been placed on the enemy platform and the horse surface, except for the city gate leading to the rear, the rest have been left behind, and a big war is coming.
Located in the city, Liu Yu has changed into his official uniform, the shiny purple robe, the winged hat that is more than a few feet long, and the overly young face under the hat all made Mi You and other generals standing in front of him stunned, he could guess that the other party was from an extraordinary background, but he never expected that it was actually a thirty-year-old roadman!
"You are Liu Zhongshu who was ordered to make the north?" Well, this kind of flattery that turns around, Liu Yu can't hear any feeling anymore, why can't he keep pace with the times? No matter how brilliant those achievements are, they are good in the past, and the officials don't like to mention them.
"Exactly, I wonder if you have any questions?" Liu Yu nodded slightly reservedly.
"Don't dare, the subordinates couldn't have imagined that Fu Shuai would come to help in person."
Mi You handed the book back to Liu Yu's personal soldiers, and first hugged his fists and gave a salute, although the other party was not his direct boss, but the grade difference was too much, and the number of etiquette could not be saved.
"It's a pity that this official doesn't have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and he can't solve the dilemma in case of emergency, although the Yuan people have temporarily stopped, it is just because the situation is unknown, once they come back, it will be a thunderous momentum, everyone, time is running out, and you must make a decision immediately."
Liu Yu's words made the hall silent, they knew that this Guangxi Luchen and Jinghu envoy only brought 3,000 cavalry, although for the Song people, it was already a great mobile force, but in front of more than 100,000 yuan, it was tantamount to a drop in the bucket.
"I'm in chaos, and I ask Fu Shuai to give me advice."
Mi You and the others didn't know at this time, the other party must have come prepared, otherwise they would not have arrested Huang Wanshi, who was also a Lu Chen, as soon as they arrived here, which was almost never happening.
"In that case, then the official will talk about the shallow." Liu Yu was not polite to them, and the time was too tight to delay.
"Tanzhou is too close to the enemy and can no longer be defended, this official thinks that the capital may as well issue a proclamation in the name of the system to protect the people in the state to retreat into the rear, even if the Yuan people get the city, they can't get supplies, and when they can't catch it, it's our opportunity."
"But you don't know where to retreat?"
"The closer to Guangxi, the better, it is best to be on the front line of Quanzhou, all the people are transferred to Guangxi, and we are waiting on that front line to block the enemy, there are mountains as a screen, no matter how many people can't show it, you can slowly deal with them."
Mi You and the others all looked at each other when they heard this, Quanzhou is already the southernmost state capital of Jinghu South Road, isn't that equivalent to sending the entire road to the Yuan people?
But the other party is right, with their current strength, it is not enough to protect themselves, let alone win, there are almost eight hundred miles from here to Quanzhou, even if it takes more than half a month to march day and night, not to mention that with the people, Miyou's eyes swept over his colleagues, all his subordinates are looking at him, this decision can only be made by him.
"Okay, tomorrow...... No, a proclamation was issued immediately, telling the people in the state to hide if they can, and go with Fu Shuai if they can't. ”
"There are also Hengzhou and Yongzhou along the way, and the surrounding Shaozhou, Guiyang Army, Wugang Army and other places, all of which must be sent together, they can go if they are willing to go, if they are unwilling, we will do our best, and we can save as much as we can."
The bottom is not his own territory, Liu Yu has no way to force it, the matter is over, when he walks out of the gate of the system, the capital of Jingnan has been in chaos, and the streets are full of people, some are waiting, and some are ready to go out of the city, only God knows how many people can go on the road in the end.
Looking at this messy scene, Liu Yu always felt that something had been ignored by him, and he didn't think of it until Li Shiyi came over and greeted him.
"What do those masters of the academy say?"
"A certain according to the meaning of the owner to find their mountain chief, I heard that the Yuan people are going to call, most of the students are willing to go, most of them have a family in this city, a certain has ordered someone to help them, together with relatives to find a car to cover, along the way will be taken care of, directly sent to Jingjiang Mansion."
Liu Yu nodded, Yuelu Academy is the most important asset of the entire Jinghu South Road, of course, it refers to the scholars inside, he does not need a scholar who is full of words, but a literate person who can do things in a down-to-earth manner, there are too few such people, and it takes too much time to cultivate, so he has to start from here.
The status of the entire academy is equivalent to the national key institutions in later generations, to lure them, Liu Yu has capital, and at present, at least there is the banner of national righteousness, after all, these students who have not entered the officialdom are still very pure in heart, as long as they work properly, they will receive twice the result with half the effort.
Li Shiyi's implication is that there are naturally those who are reluctant to leave, they either have a family business in this city, or they still have illusions about the invaders, which is also a natural thing, it can have such an effect, and it is thanks to his identity, the name Liu Ziqing has long existed like an idol for ordinary readers.
