"Zhang Shijie succeeded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Liu Yu just glanced at the general newspaper, put it at hand, continued to hold a strange thing, and turned around on Ye Mengding's body in the air, hearing his words, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, but did not move, but let him sweep his body completely, only then picked up the military newspaper, put it in front of his eyes and read it carefully.

"At one o'clock in the afternoon, the two sides fought under the city of Xuyi, when it was in full swing, the newly surrendered army suddenly launched from behind the enemy's formation, leading to a great chaos in the formation, Zhang Shuai took the cavalry as the vanguard, and rushed into battle, four or five times before and after. At the beginning of the day, the enemy army finally broke up, our army pursued and killed all the way, annihilated the enemy on the north bank of Huaishui, killed a total of 15,000 enemies, killed eight people from 1,000 households of the Han army, 55 people below 100 households, captured more than 3,000 enemies, and captured countless grains and grasses, and the siege of the Zhaoxin army was relieved. ”

Maybe the results of the battle were not completely calculated, this military report did not seem to reach the level that Liu Yu requires, but in Ye Mengding's eyes, it was normal, such a victory was originally enough to boast, but after experiencing the kind of big battle at sea, I don't know why, I just couldn't get excited, but I still praised it in my mouth.

"When the two Huai soldiers and horses gather, this battle is seventy percent certain, how can you be so sure, could it be that you are in your plan early in the morning?" In his opinion, Liu Yu's calmness is already a little beyond the scope of cultivation, much like that kind of indifference.

Of course, Liu Yu would not tell him that with more than 50,000 people against 20,000 people, by surprise, even the counter-plot was used, if a beautiful war of annihilation could not be fought, then there would be no hope for the future.

This battle is different from Jiankang City, it was after more than four months of tempering, and it was the use of night raids to seize the lead, coupled with desperate blockade, in the end, it was lucky, and it was only won by Zhang's reinforcements, as far as the process of writing the military newspaper was concerned, Zhang Shijie did not take advantage at all at the beginning, and his combat effectiveness was already one of the best in the Great Song Dynasty, and they could only be redeemed by stratagem, and the others were even more conceivable.

To say that the biggest gain of this battle is to further strengthen the confidence of the Song army to win the field battle, and reduce their fear of the Yuan people little by little, and even finally disappear, there is no shortcut to follow in this process, and it can only be consolidated with one victory after another.

"The father-in-law also came to make fun of the son-in-law, and it was the gods who had no last resort." Liu Yu closed the laptop, and the human body structure diagram on the screen disappeared, he was not afraid of what Ye Mengding would see, this room was full of strange things, maybe those who did not know enough would be surprised or out of shape, and for an old man like his father-in-law, the emphasis is on the technique rather than the instrument, simply put, he just needs to know that these things are beneficial and harmless to him, as for its origin and use, it is all a small section, at most, it is a surprise in his heart, and it will not be revealed on his face.

Next, he briefly talked about the meeting of a few people under Jiangzhou City, Ye Mengding listened to it in his heart, but it was even more shocking than seeing those black technologies, if Fang Cai's sentence was mostly a joke, now he feels that he still looks down on this kid.

According to those plans when he was in Jiangzhou, he clearly calculated that it would be this situation early in the morning, except for Jiangzhou City, which did not last too long, almost all the others became a reality, and even his own result The old man was suddenly shocked, that was more than half a year ago, when he was not even his own son-in-law!

Thinking about it like this, looking at his eyes again, there is a little more obscure meaning, and Liu Yu has a weak heart for a while, could it be that bigamy was caught? That kind of look is like a fox staring at a poultry, which is very uncomfortable.

"Once the war is over, where do you think the old man should go?" Unexpectedly, Ye Mengding's words were a little wrong.

"What do you think? The battle will be won. ”

"What's so difficult about this, in terms of troops, Li Xiangfu's department, together with the defenders of Chuzhou, has 80,000, plus Zhang Shijie's 50,000 reinforcements, nearly 20,000 people in Yukou Village are already twice as many as the Yuan people." Ye Mengding raised his fingers and said: "The Yuan people have been repeatedly frustrated, and they have long lost their sharpness. ”

"Third, if the old man is not wrong, your follow-up move is not only that, right?" He showed a seemingly kind smile, but it gave Liu Yu goosebumps.

The old man is right, although he has already gained the advantage of local troops, but Liu Yu does not dare to slack off at all, he has more than one back-up move, not to mention Ye Mengding, even the authorities Li Tingzhi may not be fully aware, and this old man has no source at all, he can only say that he guessed it completely by understanding himself.

Because he was so calm, looking at this kid's stunned expression, Ye Mengding's smile became even bigger, such strategies as ten wins and ten defeats were the housekeeping skills of the ancient literati, and playing this with them was naturally a hatchet.

"In fact, it is not difficult to guess that the Yuan people's naval army has been slow to move, in addition to the weather, it is also one of their duties to transport grain and grass on land, otherwise how could this small town accumulate so much grain. Now that they have lost all their water army, it is equivalent to cutting off a grain route, and if they want to replenish it by land in a hurry, if the old man is the commander of the Yuanren, there is only one way to think of it. ”

"This little trick can't be hidden from the insight." Although he was guessed, Liu Yu was still a little proud, all his plans came from the support of intelligence, which was the reason why he was invincible.

"It's a pity." Ye Mengding shook his head and sighed: "You have worked so hard to save the old man, you must have a plan, tell me, what are you going to do?" ”

"Plotting is in the people, success is in the sky, Huaidong is just a corner, the son-in-law is scheming, not only the tens of thousands of people, now the navy is lost, Hai Si has become an empty shelf, and then to set it up, I don't know what year and month it is, the court is still holding illusions, and is reluctant to consider moving the capital, the father-in-law is highly respected, if he can return to the court, he should have the use of a pillar stone."

After listening to his words, Ye Mengding was silent, from the original meaning, he had no intention of getting involved in the court dispute, he was old, if it wasn't for the proper maintenance of his plains, and his physical foundation was not bad, I am afraid that this time he would have confessed, the reason why he insisted on going to the war in person was not entirely to stimulate morale, but also to see the true strength of the enemy and us with his own eyes, he was not as good as Jia Yidao in this regard, the latter at least had a long experience as a border minister, not the kind of fortunate minister.

However, the tragedy of the war was far beyond his expectations, although it seems that the Song people can still achieve a record that they can boast of, but the national strength of the two countries is too far apart, and the losses of the Yuan people can be replenished in a short time, what about themselves? Where to find a Quanzhou rebellion, where to recruit tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who have gone through the war? Even, for the compensation of the fallen soldiers, it is a huge problem, most of these soldiers are the children of Zhejiang, he returned to Beijing, how to face those parents and villagers who lost their relatives?

This battle, tactically it is a draw, and strategically, it has actually been defeated, the Great Song Dynasty has lost the strongest sea power, and the Beijing division has lost a sea retreat, in view of this, Liu Yu will persuade him to return to Beijing, so that the matter of moving the capital will be brought to the fore, so as not to wait until the Yuan soldiers come to the city, then panic, and finally let people serve a pot, such an example, it was staged one hundred and fifty years ago, and this shame has affected not only one hundred and fifty years, but thousands of years.

"What about Jingshi?" Just when Liu Yu thought he was about to fall asleep, Ye Mengding suddenly opened his mouth leisurely.

"The son-in-law is not in power, how can he think of getting so much, but since the father-in-law asks, he will say it in vain."

If it weren't for the fact that the old man could affect the court situation, he wouldn't have bothered about it, he wouldn't have done it if he wasn't in his position, and only a cheeky person like Li Tingzhi would forcibly send a messenger regardless of his wishes, and in this regard, Ye Mengding, who was his father-in-law, didn't even know him as well as the former.

"In a certain opinion, Lin'an is a tempting fruit, so that the beast salivates, after more than a hundred years, this fruit has been ripe, if you don't pick it, you won't be willing, if you want to make the beast die, either offer it with both hands, or"

Liu Yu paused for a moment and sighed: "Then I smashed it and rotted it into the mud, so that those beasts could smell it, but they couldn't eat it, so they couldn't help it." ”

Before he finished speaking, Ye Mengding's eyes straightened, Rao had already heard too much of this son's arrogant words, and still didn't expect that he would say such a thing, Lin'an City gathered the essence of the Great Song Dynasty, after one hundred and fifty years of accumulation, just like Bianliang before Nandu, and what he meant would be destruction!

"When I was traveling north, I was taken by the Yuan people through Tokyo, do you want to hear what my son-in-law has seen?"

Tokyo is Bianliang, and it is still the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and Lin'an is just walking, and Jiankang is staying in the capital, this dream has been done for more than a hundred years, and it has already become a luxury, Ye Mengding has never been there, the only thing that can be imagined is the record of the people who have traveled from the north, how he doesn't know, what will be the situation there.

"The catastrophe is coming, the rest of the generations have the ambition to destroy the family and express the country, and the imperial court should be even more so, a fire burned the Jingshi, so that the world knows that we would rather be broken than be broken! In this way, even if the Yuan people have millions of soldiers, they will drown in the ocean of the national war of resistance, and when they are all wiped out in the south of the Yangtze River, it is the time when we will wave our troops to the north, restore the Central Plains, and return to the old capital. ”

Liu Yu stood up and gave a solemn salute to the old man: "My son-in-law has always believed that as long as we work together, one day, we will see the day when "Qingming Riverside Picture" will return to the world." ”

For an old eunuch like Ye Mengding, impassioned emotions have long been unable to affect their state of mind, it is an article that only those young scholars will occasionally do, most of them are just slogans, but from the mouth of his son-in-law, it is by no means a slogan, he saw with his own eyes the strength of Huaidong's strong wall and clear field, which is not seen in the history books at all, and it is also the first time, which makes him feel that war may not make people despair.

"What happens if the beast can't eat the fruit it wants?"

The old man's calm words made Liu Yu speechless, he didn't know the consequences, he could imagine it, when Kublai Khan finally led the army to break through the passes, thinking that he was close to his goal, he suddenly found that the enemy not only did not give in, but also burned down his capital and burned those prosperity, at that time, even if he didn't want to, what to use to appease hundreds of thousands of subordinates?

"The land of the two Zhejiang provinces is all powder." Such a consequence, both of them are very clear, but they will not say it, it is an unimaginable scene, the old man closed his eyes, Liu Yu did not say anything more, how to decide, he should have said everything, if the country is united, the disaster of the country may not be able to become the will of recovery, if not, he has not thought about continuing the rule of a feudal dynasty.

Gently bring the door and walk out, there are already stars outside, a large number of torches illuminate the entire dock brightly, the sergeants on duty do not dare to slack off to be vigilant around, even in the harbor, those wounded sailors are also hurrying to repair the warship, on the street, from time to time there will be a patrol horse, when they see him, they will greet him on the horse.

Under his orders, all the foot soldiers have been preparing for defense on the periphery of Yukou Town for the past few days, and the long ditch has been dug to the sea, wrapping the entire wharf, plus those houses in the town, it didn't take much effort to pile up and become a wall, there is only one purpose for doing this, he believes that in Yukou Town, there are things that are important to instigation.
