Chapter Fifty-Six
However, at this moment, Liu Yu was not in Hengshanzhai, but returned to Yongzhou City, and there were still some things to deal with before going to the afterlife, so he had to run such a trip overnight. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In his plan, recapturing the fortified city of Hengshanzhai is the biggest goal of the Song army's second battle, and the subsequent actions will be mainly aimed at training troops, and the war has taken a back seat, not that he doesn't want to chase the enemy all the way to Yunnan, and even pocket this province in advance, but there is a bigger crisis to deal with at the moment, that is, ...... Kublai Khan is coming.
Counting the days, his army should have entered Henan, no matter how slow it is, it will reach Xiangyang Mansion in about ten days at most, and it will take another four or five days to reach Ezhou, and the Yuan people's middle offensive will come, and it is impossible for these tens of thousands of Song troops to still be placed in Yongzhou or further away.
But for these invaders, didn't they just let them go?
Of course not, this is the reason why Liu Yu wants to go to Yongzhou City, when the city is far away, the sky has gradually brightened, he did not bring a flag in this line, only followed a team of personal soldiers, but the guards looked down and immediately opened the city gate, and notified the chief officer in the city.
"Xia Guan and the others have seen Fu Shuai." Qiu Zizhen and the others obviously just crawled out of the bed, and their clothes and clothes were a little untidy, but Liu Yu was better than these.
"You've worked hard, talk while walking."
Now that he was in the city, he no longer wanted to ride a horse, and even though he had used some soft cushions, the two strands were still in great pain, and it was better to come down and take a walk.
Obviously, the genius has just dawned, Yongzhou City has not yet woken up from sleep, and occasionally some people who get up early have quickly avoided the side, bowing their heads and letting them pass, this is the difference between the border city and the capital. If it is Lin'an Mansion, I am afraid that people will not only stare at it, but also say hello and ask a few words, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the scarlet robe is not as good as a dog, and the purple clothes are all over the ground, even the ruling minister is also common, and he is a side marshal What is it.
“...... These days, the number of people who have arrived in the big camp outside the city has increased a lot, and yesterday alone there were no less than 500 people, and the officials have asked, as far as the states of Naturalization, Ande, etc., almost on the border between the two countries, nearly 400 miles away, I really don't know how they know. Qiu Zi was really in a good mood, and introduced the situation in the city to him as he walked.
"That's nature." Liu Yu was not surprised, but he was concerned about something else: "How many people have come to the camp in total?" can be reborn. ”
Originally, Qiu Zizhen could have easily opened this question, but when he saw that Fu Shuai's eyes seemed to be looking at the other end, he secretly reached out and pulled the man.
"Ahh Zhao Mengsong blurted out coldly, and then reacted: "Back to Fu Shuai's words, plus the new arrivals yesterday, there are a total of 3,742 people in the camp, and they are generally quite stable. ”
Liu Yu didn't say anything after hearing the 'um', and the group walked silently in the direction of the Shuai Mansion, Qiu Zizhen pressed down his curiosity, he knew that since Liu Yu asked, he would definitely deal with it, otherwise there was no need to come back in person.
When he stepped into his temporary line and the door of the festival hall was closed, Liu Yu took out a military newspaper from his sleeve, and while the two were competing to watch, he went to the case to find a bowl of water to drink, but unfortunately there is no refrigerator here, otherwise a sports drink is really sour.
“...... Great victory! The two of them shouted almost at the same time, and the expressions of surprise seemed to be written as if they were defeated.
Of course, this can't be blamed for their gaffes, seeing that Liu Yu only brought a team of personal soldiers back, not even a flag, his face looked unusual, and he thought that it would be an unfavorable war, and even faintly thought of words such as fiasco and only being spared, but who would have thought that it was an absolute victory of nearly 20,000 enemies and the recovery of Hengshanzhai!
"The victory is not to be talked about, it is not satisfactory, our army has suffered about 20,000 casualties, nearly 10,000 people have died in the battle alone, the enemy has left about 20,000 heads, and only a few hundred people have been captured. These days, you must hurry up and find more empty rooms in this city, and clean them according to the requirements of the commander, and make sure that they are spotless, so that the wounded who are about to be transferred can be accommodated. They must not be allowed to die under the enemy's sword and axe, but fall to the rear, and the matter of wounding medicine will be arranged by himself. ”
Liu Yu took a sip of water and shook his head solemnly.
In the end, Qiu Zizhen, who was older and more knowledgeable, first came back from the surprise, and concentrated on writing down the other party's instructions, he was no stranger to this matter, and the hundreds of wounded sent by the battle of Dushitan were doctors under his arrangement, and the requirements for hygiene in front of him had almost reached a jaw-dropping level, and he had the impression that even the royal inner court would never have such a request.
However, an order is an order, if he can't do it, or if he can't do it well, I believe that this young Fu Shuai will never tell him any favors, even if he is also a civil minister, which has been deeply realized from the day the other party entered Yongzhou City.
What made him admire was not only this, a victory of annihilating tens of thousands of enemies, in the mouth of the other party, it turned out to be an understatement like nothing, what happened to the greater losses of his own family, the war was originally like this, it was always decided by the winner, and no one could say a word? It's great, the court needs to have more mercy, shouldn't it be for such a big victory?
Liu Yu did not intend to argue with them about the success of the victory, the biggest gain of this war was that he had obtained a team that was basically loyal to him, and now what he had to do was to consolidate this loyalty, and for this he had to try to downplay the influence of the imperial court.
"Regarding the book, the two of you discussed and wrote it, and when it was finished, it was printed and distributed, and Ben Shuai didn't read it."
He stopped them from speaking with a wave of his hand, and said in a non-negotiable tone.
Facing their puzzled gazes, he continued: "Those people outside the city should be a little touched, right? ”
Zhao Mengsong nodded again and again, those people were not only a little touched, watching others exchange their heads for things every day, which one would not be envious? I can't go with them to kill the Tartars, but there is no way, their identities are different, once they enter the camp, the military law is in front of them, and stepping on it is a death.
"What do you mean?"
"It should be almost here, and I will inform them tomorrow that I will go to the front line of Zuojiang Road from now on, and I will be seized as soon as I am equal to the people of Dong. They don't have to travel so far, they can ask a nearby spy to write it down for them, and then exchange it later, or have someone send it. ”
As soon as the two of them heard it, they understood his plan, not only the same treatment, but also the delivery to the door, in this way, those people are not desperate, the Tartars are in a new defeat, morale is not high, and of course the vigilance will not be strong, and they suddenly encountered more than 3,000 red-eyed hunters, under the elusive attack of the other party, I am afraid that they will not even be able to sleep well, thinking of this, they all glanced at each other, and they all gasped.
It's like killing everything, leaving no room at all!
Taking this a step further, with these people as role models, can those people in Zuojiang Road still sit still? After all, they are the masters, looking at this overly young officer, Zhao Mengsong suddenly felt how stupid his previous opinion was!
What rules, what calculations, in the eyes of others is a joke, he doesn't know whether to be happy for himself? Still sad.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”
No one spoke for a long time, and Liu Yu asked in surprise, and he was not so bad that he couldn't tolerate the correct opinion.
"Xia Guan is thinking, after this battle, the people of the city will no longer be able to get out of the grasp of our dynasty, and Fu Shuai can get a hundred years of peace in one fell swoop.
"It's not that good, but it's just a little more trouble."
In the face of such sincere and almost sycophantic flattery, Liu Yu was rarely a little embarrassed, this is actually no way, who let him come here soon, there is no extra time to prepare.
As for the opinion of the political affairs hall, don't even care, people are only afraid that they will have to pick bones in the egg, who let him do things without rules, and leave a bunch of handles in plain water, such a result, the enemy who has been in the place for a long time may not understand, how can Zhao Mengsong, who was born in the palace, not know? Of course, he won't say it privately.
"In addition to informing the imperial court of the results of this battle, the state capitals of this road should also be heard, Zhao Wenwen." Liu Yu looked at the staff who was forcibly recruited by him: "You will draft a Jun order, ordering all the chief officials of each state to go to Jingjiang Mansion to discuss matters, and if there is a delay, Ben Shuai will take off his hat first, and then go to the court." ”
As soon as these murderous words came out, the unprepared Qiu Zizhen was stunned, it was obvious that he was targeting Wenchen this time, so it was not a question of whether it was appropriate or not.
It is not a secret that Liu Yu has the right to dispose of it on the spot, but how to use it is a bit particular, in fact, it is mostly aimed at military generals, in case they disobey orders, but literally, it will definitely not be said so.
Do you want to say that Luchen has jurisdiction over the state capital? In fact, no, this is why Lu Chen is also the chief official of the road, the local political structure of the Great Song Dynasty is very tricky, not only the structure is complex, but also there are many overlaps, and the jurisdiction is ambiguous, which will set up various supervision departments on it, but also because it is only a supervisory body, it is far less powerful than the governors and governors of the provinces in the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, which will make people sick.
Therefore, Liu Yu's approach has a bit of a taste of "holding chicken feathers as an arrow", but if you want to say that he can't do this, it is also inappropriate, the reason why the unspoken rule is an unspoken rule is because it can't be put on the surface, Qiu Zizhen is really worried about him, and he can't even say the points on the surface, because he himself is also a civil servant, and he is also a member of the conscription order.
"Brother Qiu, you still have to work hard here in Yongzhou, so you don't need to go to Jingjiang." Liu Yu has not forgotten this stubble, but this kind of specialness, Qiu Zi really doesn't want it, which means that his conjecture has become a reality, and he will stand on the side of Fu Shuai to fight against the entire Guangxi civil class.
"Respectfully."
Is there still a choice at this point? Even for the sake of this 'enemy brother', he had to obey.
