Chapter 135: Ji Yi Division
South or West? This was not originally a problem, but after receiving Li Ting's report, Ali Hague, who had always been cautious, hesitated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Both sides are road governance, Tanzhou is closer, take Tanzhou may be able to spread the entire Jinghu South Road, Jiangling Mansion is in the upper reaches of the river, coercing Yuezhou to win a big victory, not giving the Song people a chance to regroup, it is also a great temptation.
However, what Li Ting's troops encountered was not an ordinary Song army, and the only one who could cut off the Mongols' reconnaissance cavalry within ten miles must be the cavalry, a large number of cavalry troops that were formed into formations, which made him think of Jiankang, the legendary Song people who captured the flag and almost killed Boyan under the city, although the two are thousands of miles apart, they are like a ghost that cannot be driven away.
From the south of Xiangyin County, all the news was cut off, which meant that he knew nothing about the enemy, although he had more than 100,000 troops, such a battle was also unwilling to be fought by Ali Hague, but everyone in the tent was listening to his instructions.
......Just as he stopped and was about to give the order, a soldier hurried in and fell to his knees.
"Report to Pingzhang, the reconnaissance cavalry from the direction of Fuzhou reported that the reinforcements of the Song people appeared in the upper reaches of the river, numbering more than 10,000 people."
"Where?" Ali Hague looked at him and asked in a deep voice.
"Jianli County, about 200 miles away from here, is mostly foot soldiers, and there are more than 100 large and small ships, carrying grain and grass."
That is from Jiangling Mansion, this army must be the defenders of the city, and most of them, take them, Jiangling City can be taken without attacking, this is more certain than Tan Zhou, who has unknown information, and he suddenly has a plan in his heart.
"Dewarming doesn't take flowers." He looked at the generals and pointed out a Mongol at the head, and the one he pointed out was a Mongol Wanhu, who commanded a cavalry team of 10,000 people assigned to him.
"Pingzhang, please command."
"Take your people and set off immediately, be sure to leave the Song people behind, and don't let them escape back."
The man nodded in response, led the order out of the tent, and on the faces of the rest of the generals, Ali Hague saw a hint of excitement eager to try, this is the excitement brought by the victory at Jingjiangkou, the young Zhang Hongfan has made the first contribution, of course they will not be willing to lag behind, and this is what he hopes.
"Wait for the whole army, go out of the camp in turn, and the goal is ...... Gangneung! Ali Hague did not disappoint them, and the tent resounded with the sound of a nail leaf crashing.
"Respectfully."
The large camp standing on the side of the lake mouth suddenly boiled, followed by the cavalry of 10,000 people who started in the early stage, one by one the Han army infantry 10,000 troops embarked on the journey, and the waterway support was General Xuanwei, Yidu Zilai New Army Wanhu Li Heng, and the Ali Hague Chinese army that set off finally took away 100,000 foot soldiers, leaving only 20,000 people in Yuezhou.
"Zhong Chou, Yuezhou City will be handed over to you, this is the back road for me to wait, the Song people are cunning, they may not be able to make any moves, you and Li Ting should pay more attention to Jingnan's movements, don't move rashly, and don't go out in person."
"Pingzhang rest assured, Hongfan is here to wait for the triumph of the army."
And this heavy responsibility of staying behind naturally fell on Zhang Hongfan's body, who told him that he already had merit, the latter hugged his fists and took the order, although he could not continue to make meritorious contributions, getting such treatment was not a kind of trust, he knew what Ali Hague meant, did not show any dissatisfaction or other emotions, so that the former was very satisfied, patted him on the shoulder, and got on the horse and left.
When the army was far away and the smoke and dust dissipated, Zhang Hongfan no longer had a smile on his face, he glanced in the opposite direction from the city tower, and waved his hand to call his brother over.
"Old ten, you're fine."
"Brother Jiu'er, if you have anything to say, just give orders." Zhang Hongzheng raised his arm nonchalantly, he almost died as a pioneer in Jingjiangkou, and after the investigation, he was injured in more than one place, but he has regained his spirit these days, but his arm is still a little inflexible.
"Jiangling, then Tanzhou, no matter what the Song people want to do, we have to find out, the foot soldiers can not move, you take our people, go to the Xiangyin line to see, if you meet a large group of people, lead them to the vicinity of Li Ting's camp, understand?"
For his brother's intentions, Zhang Hongzheng understood in his heart, Pingzhang only said that he could not move lightly, and it made no sense that the Song people could not attack when they came, besides, he did not believe that the Song people would have much strength, and they could not press Li Ting's 30,000 army to move, and if the Mongolian cavalry could not do it, the Han cavalry might not be impossible, and if the Han army could not do it, the children of the Zhang family might not be impossible.
No credit will be too much.
The movement under the city of Yuezhou is too big, and he can see it clearly without the help of black technology, but what Shi Zhong is most concerned about is the Xiangyin line, so when he saw the direction of this cavalry army, which was neither too much nor too little, he did not hesitate to connect to the rear.
"The Tartar army drove to the upper reaches of the river, and there were only 2,000 soldiers and horses in the direction of Xiangyin, but all of them were cavalry, and they played the banner of 'Zhang', and they finished speaking."
After the rendezvous in Tanzhou City, the military intelligence was transferred to Shi Zhong's name, after all, he was a professional worker, Li Shiyi and his people turned more to the place, they wanted to establish a communication line that ran through the entire Jinghu South Road, and the people in their hands were not enough at all, and to promote new people, they still needed to return to Jingjiang Mansion, which could only be barely maintained at present.
"Zhang Hongfan is here, this is a guy who is not easy to deal with."
After receiving the report, Liu Yu just smiled, the traitor must have great power, he never underestimated the enemy, he knows himself better, no matter how great his achievements are in history, now he is just a small role, the battle in Dongliu County fully shows that this person is extremely arrogant, and he will not put the Song people in his eyes at all, and he will not even put the military order in his eyes.
Following this line of thought, what kind of plan he will have, it is self-evident, in Tanzhou, a large number of people are evacuating, although not necessarily according to his route, to the direction of Guangxi, but objectively also caused the surrounding area to be empty, the people here face the offensive of the Tartars, propaganda and agitation do not need to spend too much effort, after the proclamation of the division was widely distributed around, the official road from Tanzhou to various places, it was crowded with people, the only thing that worried Liu Yu was speed, how could not go up quickly.
Jinghu South Road is not his land, there is no way to use the power of the government to protect it like Guangxi, the weather in December has gradually become cold, the people are not unified and coordinated, this road is destined to be extremely difficult, despite this, Liu Yu still will not regret his choice, this is the price that a nation must pay if it wants to be reborn, all of this now, will become the most intuitive material to warn future generations, in order not to repeat the strange circle of thousands of years of reciprocating cycles, He had to ruthlessly send batch after batch of people into exile, until one day, the eyes of the people were no longer only indifferent, but full of hatred, and the largest nation in the world would be twisted into an unstoppable force that swept the world.
I believe that Jiang Cai will know what to do, and he doesn't need to say anything, Liu Yu still focuses on evacuating the people.
"It's too slow, I'm afraid that if I don't wait to get out of Tanzhou, the Yuan people will catch up." Li Shiyi obviously understood his thoughts, and directly said what he was thinking.
"What do you think?" For this spy head, Liu Yu still attaches great importance to it, not only by hand-pulling it at the end of the day, but more importantly, by his own ability, after a long period of experience, there has been a reborn change.
"The subordinates want to take the official documents of the upper system department and go first along the way, at least let those states and counties take out the grain stored in the warehouse, and we can't take it away and can't cheapen the tartars."
Li Shiyi's words are obviously not exhausted, and behind these unsaid, Liu Yu can also guess one or two, under his influence, when conventional means cannot work, they often choose another remote rhino realm, those states and counties that do not have enemy soldiers to suppress the realm, most of them are in a wait-and-see state, the results of history have proved this, Tan Zhou Xia Jinghu descended, for these officials who are destined to descend to the Yuan people, do you still need to talk about any rules and regulations?
"You take the first step, take the official's order, and as soon as you arrive at Jingjiang Mansion, set up a new organization on the spot, the official calls it 'Ji Yi Si', and you are the first to promote Ji Yi Si', you are fully responsible for the selection structure, the soldiers in the battalion can be chosen at will, tell Ma Ji, he will cooperate with you."
Liu Yu's answer was obviously unexpected by Li Shiyi, for a while he forgot what he should say, even though he had already controlled the spy network as far as Liaodong and all over the north, suddenly hearing such an appointment, Li Shiyi's heart was still very excited, which meant that he would have a legitimate official identity, from Liu Yu's private to public.
"The subordinates are determined to die!" Li Shiyi knelt down on one knee and gave him a heavy salute.
Of course, he understands better that this new division, which directly belongs to Fu Si, is also owned by Liu Yu's private owner, and he still needs to say who he should be loyal to.
"Go ahead, do as you think, the Xingwen official will get the secret capital ready, and only a few people need to be left here."
"Fu Shuai should take the first step, this place is too close to the Tartars, and there are few defenders, so his subordinates are worried about ......"
"The matter was proposed by the official, and it must be done well, and there are 5,000 people in the secret capital, which is enough."
Li Shiyi couldn't resist his insistence, and finally set off first, looking at the crowded flow of people on the official road, Liu Yu's heart was as undulating as the river beside him, no matter how sure he was, once he saw it with his own eyes, that uncomfortable feeling would arise spontaneously, and politicians really couldn't be refined in a day.
