Chapter 205: March

For the entire battle situation, the recovery of Sizhou City seems to be just the icing on the cake, but Li Tingzhi knows in his heart that it is not so simple, because this was ordered by Liu Yu himself. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Wende is his confidant in the army, he has always been arrogant, he didn't even buy Miao Zaicheng's account, he would actually obey the words of a foreign minister, and some unknown change must have happened, of course, he would not be stupid to ask the person concerned now, and when Xu Wende came back, he would explain to him.

And now, everyone is waiting for his decision, and the people who come need to go back immediately, bring back the next order, and let them retreat or stay put, Li Tingzhi showed a smile and called him up.

"It's too late, you've worked hard all the way, let them take you to rest, you haven't eaten yet, go get hot first, eat and then sleep."

By the way, the left and right were sent out, and there were only three of them left in the tent, Liu Yu handed the military report to Zhang Shijie opposite, and without saying a word, he just sat down.

"Ziqing, it's not that you don't want to, in such a situation, the defense is not enough, even if you take those places, how can you hold it."

"It is precisely this situation that makes it even more secluded, Henan and Shandong are the source of Tartar soldiers, and it is also the main road of grain and grass, taking them is to burn the war to the enemy's territory, nothing else, Huaixi all the way, do you dare to surround Luzhou City in peace?"

Liu Yu unceremoniously replied to his words, and even Zhang Shijie was surprised by the words, he looked up at the table, Li Tingzhi didn't seem to be angry, so he was a lot more relieved.

"The Yuan people's requisition of the country's troops this time is not good, it is a desperate bet, these people are all strong laborers in the people's families, plus the people who need them for logistical support, there are no less than two million, what does this mean? Once there is a loss, the entire Central Plains will be mourned by everyone with filial piety and every family. With the help of wine, Liu Yu's voice gradually became louder.

"Why do those Yuan people outside easily put down their weapons, not only are they surrounded, all over Shandong, the Yuan people will scavenge the last grain of food in the people's homes, they don't want to starve to death, they can only lift the pole and get up, as long as we hit Xuzhou, there is a smooth road ahead, and the whole Shandong will respond, when the time comes, even if it is to negotiate peace with the Yuan people, it is a great bargaining chip."

Li Tingzhi has never seen him so anxious, in his impression, he will always be a calm and light pretend, which makes people love and hate, at this moment, he began to seriously think about the other party's words, and led his troops straight down to Henan, sweeping Jingdong, that is, Shandong of the Yuan people, it is not a temptation, which was not achieved when the Jin people were destroyed.

"What should I do in Luzhou?"

Zhang Shijie said the first sentence since he entered the table, this sentence is exactly what Li Tingzhi was worried about, the defenders of Chuzhou City were as many as 30,000, and they were damaged by 30% in two months, Luzhou was not even prepared, and the besieging army was as much as 120,000, and the strength was even more incomparable, as for Jiankang City, it didn't worry him much, even in the face of the Tartar Khan.

"This city can be guaranteed for half a year, according to this, there are still more than three months available, when the time comes, whether to mobilize the tower out of the station to help, intercept halfway, or set a trap, block it on the south bank of Huaishui, there is time to plan, and the most important thing at the moment is to grab time, can not give the Yuan people a gap in response."

Liu Yu had to say it well, and neither of them knew where his self-confidence came from, but his good reputation in the past still played a role, at least, no one questioned him on the spot.

"Governor Zhang, what do you think?" Li Tingzhi tilted his head, looked at Zhang Shijie and asked.

"Zhang is willing to attach the tail of the minister." The latter spat a bone onto the table, and immediately sat down with a fist and replied aloud.

Does this mean that you have to make your own decisions? Li Tingzhi glanced at the two of them, and took the last hesitation out of his mind, just when Liu Yu thought he would slap the table and shout: "It's done!" When I suddenly heard a question.

"Three months?"

"Three months"

Liu Yu's categorical answer made him completely relieved, and the three of them tacitly agreed not to mention this topic again, but kept persuading them to drink and eat, and when they woke up the next day, it was already dawn outside.

Liu Yu stroked the somewhat painful head, sat up, heard some movement outside the door, and hurriedly called a subordinate of Li Shiyi who served as a personal soldier: "What are you doing outside?" ”

"Li Xianggong is sacrificing the flag."

was resolute, Liu Yu suddenly relaxed, thought about it, and beckoned to his own soldiers.

"Hurry up and send a message to Jingdong, just four words." Write down your head.

"Sparks."

Jingshi Lin'an Mansion, with the invasion of the Yuan army, the news that all places were caught in a bitter battle came, and finally there was some tense atmosphere, this atmosphere waited until a large number of people in the direction of Jiankang arrived in groups, and suddenly reached the peak, you know, at the beginning of the year, it was like that, and there was never such a big wave of refugees.

All this, so that the cardinal and political hall who are familiar with the inside situation are even more anxious, Jiangzhou only held for one day before being captured, this blow, already overwhelming, the Yuan army forced Jiankang, once again besieged, like a noose around the neck, I don't know when, this rope will be tightened, between the two places, in fact, there is a Guangde army, lift your feet and come over.

"Is there a military report from Dusong Pass?" Under the pressure, all the princes in the political hall were a little angry, and when they started to speak, they were anxious, and their voices were a little hoarse.

"I haven't received it today, but it came yesterday, and it's business as usual." Jia Xuanweng, who was in charge of communication inside and outside, shook his head.

"Don't slack off, that's the last barrier of the Jingshi."

Chen Yizhong didn't relax at all, his eyes were rolling in the pile of military newspapers on the case, he didn't know which one to deal with first, and how to handle it properly, and he didn't even notice that the other party didn't respond to his words at all.

"Let the cardinal government go to Su Renzhong next time, once there is an alarm in Dusong Pass, he must rush to help."

Jia Xuanweng sighed wordlessly, this is the last soldier and horse of the Beijing Division, and he can only fill in that pass, but what should he do when he finishes filling in? No one knew, and the idea that they kept suppressing was not dared to be brought forward at the moment, as if they had forgotten it.

Since the last time the right minister left Mengyan, after getting the news that the Yuan people invaded Lianghuai, he couldn't afford to be sick and never appeared in the forbidden again, but the left minister Chen Yizhong came early every day, and he had become the first person in the court in fact, for his edict, not only did the court dare not disobey, but the saints also obeyed their words, but this did not make the situation develop in a favorable way, and the bad news was one after another.

Far away, Quanzhou's mess has dragged on for almost half a year, and there is still no sign of the end, and the imperial court still has to provide supplies for the 100,000 troops gathered there, but the Jingshi can't even get together 30,000 people here, once the Yuan people break through the Dusong Pass, it will be wiped out, because the main force of the Qingyuan Mansion Haisi Water Army on the back road of Gongwei Jingshi has gone north, and there is no news until now.

Pile by pile, each by one is a tricky matter, Jiangzhou fell, Yuezhou fell, Luzhou was besieged, Chuzhou was besieged, Jiankang was besieged, plus Guangxi and Jingnan, who don't know life and death, the footsteps of the Yuan people are getting closer and closer, and what about those people they have high hopes for?

"Where is Li Tingzhi?"

Hearing that the other party couldn't even care about politeness, Jia Xuanweng sighed again.

"When you are not in the city, you should gather troops and horses near Yangzhou, and the last report is five days ago, and you are about to go up the canal to relieve the siege of Chuzhou and other places."

Then, it was cut off by the Yuan people after invading Jiankang Mansion, and under the interruption of the news, it is unknown where it is and how the war is going, Chen Yizhong raised his head and said categorically.

"Send someone with an edict to cross the river from elsewhere, you must find him, and let him return to Shiqin Wang no matter what."

"Li Xiangfu is a loyal and generous person, and he will definitely be edicted." Jia Xuanweng, who had already guessed the result, echoed a sentence, causing Chen Yizhong to look sideways.

Just that person, still loyal? But there was nothing on the face.

"The matter of Quanzhou should also be concluded as soon as possible, and another document will be issued, if you can't take the state city, let Chen Junben take over the governor's mansion on the spot."

"What about Jin Ming?"

"Transfer back to Jingshi." For a while, Chen Yizhong couldn't think of where to go.

Jia Xuan Weng turned around and walked out of the lobby, watching his tall back disappear at the door, Chen Yizhong did not have a trace of ease in solving things, but he felt that another wall was demolished and another wall was repaired, he was now difficult to judge which wall was more important, he only felt that this big house was full of leaks, it was better to directly tear down and rebuild one, this sudden idea made his heart froze, and the person stayed for a while, and he didn't even feel that someone came in.

"Xianggong, Xie Tongzhi is waiting to see you outside." After screaming a few times in a row, Chen Yizhong seemed to wake up, and he was right.

"Invite someone in, and in the future, if he comes again, he doesn't have to listen to the rumors, just bring them in."

Xie Tang is an errand runner now, all the affairs of the cardinal mansion are just going through the motions, and the idea is still here, he doesn't want to do this kind of work for a day, but he doesn't have to run.

"Ascension, what's the news, I want you to go for it yourself?" The moment he saw him, Chen Yizhong jumped directly off the couch, which was a treatment that even the governor and political affairs Jia Xuan Weng did not enjoy.

"Good news, Chen Xianggong, might as well guess?" Xie Tang is really not afraid of him.

"Good news?" Chen Yizhong guessed as soon as he saw his face, but it was not good news for him at all.

After pretending to be for a while, he shook his head hesitantly, indicating that he couldn't guess.

"Guangxi has won a great victory, more than 30,000 people have been beheaded, and the Yuan people have returned to Dali." Xie Tang happily unfolded a document and read the words on it to him, completely ignoring the other party's feelings.

"Really...... That's the good news. ”

Chen Yizhong reluctantly squeezed out a smile and agreed.
