296. King of the people

War always catches people off guard.

When Zhao Dongting was still guarding against the Mengtuo army in the east in Xiujiang Town, the Yuan army finally left the city and headed west.

And precisely, Song Bitao is the vanguard general of his city army.

The vanguard general has always been an extremely dangerous military position, because as a vanguard, he is most likely to face a head-on attack from the enemy.

On the same day, Song Bitao "saw off" Deng Zijia and Li He without authorization, and then went to Ye Su'er to plead guilty, which really made Ye Su'er, who still had hope for Deng Zijia and Li He, angry. Originally, she planned to scold Song Bitao with a cane, but at this time, Yang Fan suddenly pleaded for Song Bitao, asking him to protect Song Bitao from the suffering of cane punishment by ordering him to be a pioneer general under his command.

Song Bitao was deprived of his post as a military commissar and transferred to Yang Fan.

But Yang Fan's move is obviously not kind.

That day in prison, from the conversation between Song Bitao and Li He, he had already seen clearly what kind of character Song Bitao was. Such a person, although he used to be a Song general, Yang Fan knew very well that Song Bitao would never be on the road with him in the future. If you take the initiative to invest in Yuan, you will obviously be despised by people like Song Bitao, and even have a grudge.

In the final analysis, Li He and Deng Zijia both died because of him.

Since it is a potential threat, why not get rid of it as soon as possible?

People like Yang Fan, in order to fight for the future, can be said to be able to do anything.

He asked Song Bitao to be the vanguard general to take the lead out of the city and rush to the side of Xiujiang Town, in order to form a flanking attack on the Song army with Mengtuo. However, only 2,000 soldiers were sent to Song Bitao, this is not to let Song Bitao die, what is it for?

He was not worried that Song Bitao would vote for Song, after all, Song Bitao had been in the Yuan Dynasty for so many years. If he wants to vote for Song, he won't wait until now.

Moreover, people like Song Bitao are very persistent in their hearts. Yang Fan saw this very clearly.

It's a pity that Song Bitao didn't think deeply about Yang Fan's evil intentions.

He was still quite surprised that Yang Fan would protect him in front of Marshal Yesu'er that day, and even made his disdain for Yang Fan ease down a little.

He led an army of 2,000 yuan out of the city and really rushed to Xiujiang Town honestly.

Yang Fan followed suit and ordered an army of 80,000 to go out of the city, set up camp along the Yujiang River, and encircled Xiujiang Town.

And so, two more days.

All divisions have sent their soldiers to Xiujiang Town, escorted them to the isolated island in the middle of the river, and then turned back separately.

There was no war between the Song and Yuan sides, and the Yuan army just kept marching. And Song Jun didn't get a good opportunity.

On this day and night, Zhao Dongting was practicing room surgery in the room, and Wen Tianxiang came in from outside.

As soon as he entered the house, Wen Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty, there is movement in the Yuan army again. Song Bitao, the vanguard general under the command of Yang Fan's thief, led an army of 2,000 troops to be stationed at the intersection of Teng, Xun and Rong, which was only half a day's journey away from our army. Moreover, tens of thousands of troops in Rongjin County have also rushed west to the border of Xunzhou, and there are signs of moving south to Song Bitao. ”

Zhao Dongting's head and feet were resting on two chairs, hanging in the middle, and he was practicing his waist and abdomen, hearing Wen Tianxiang's words, he hurriedly stood up and walked to the sand table in the room, and planted a few small flags on the sand table. His face changed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Wen Tianxiang, "What about the Yuan army in Wuzhou City?" ”

Wen Tianxiang said: "Most of the Yuan army in Wuzhou City rushed to Cen Xi, and now they are also moving towards Xiujiang Town. ”

He also looked at the sand table and said, "Your Majesty, is the Yuan army trying to attack us first?" ”

Zhao Dongting silently planted a few small flags on the sand table, but his face became extremely ugly.

After he planted these small flags, it was obvious from the sand table that the Yuan army had formed a siege of Tengzhou.

The sudden realization at this moment made Zhao Dongting's back sweat trickle.

Solid wall clear!

Isn't this just a solid wall?

He did not expect that someone in the Yuan army would be able to come up with such a method of dealing with guerrilla tactics. This was a big surprise to him.

The Yuan army surrounded the entire Tengzhou, and as long as it was surrounded step by step, the Song army in Tengzhou had nowhere to escape.

Although Xiujiang Town is on the edge of Tengzhou, there is still time to withdraw the army, but how can Zhao Dongting withdraw the army?

If he withdraws, then he can really only watch the Yuan army wipe out the Southern Song Dynasty army step by step.

After all, he found out too late.

Zhao Dongting realized at this time that he had unconsciously fallen into passivity.

He didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly said to Wen Tianxiang: "Military order, hurry up and order all the armies, let them gather to Xiujiang Town as soon as possible." ”

Wen Tianxiang also saw that something was wrong at this time, and exclaimed: "The Yuan army wants to encircle our army? ”

At that moment, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran out.

Zhao Dongting looked at the sand table, his face was extremely heavy. The encirclement of the Yuan army has been completed, and he doesn't know if it is too late to call the armies to gather at this time.

And the very next day, the war broke out again.

At the south of Xiujiang Town, Meng Tuo marched at night, and at dawn, it was inevitable that he would attack Xiujiang Town from Xiujiang Town.

The sky had just dawned, and on the low wall in the south of Xiujiang Town, the sound of the horn suddenly sounded.

In the military camp in the city, the soldiers of the Song army hurriedly turned up from their tents, put on armor and ran out.

Zhao Dongting also turned over violently in the room and ran towards the main hall of the mansion.

As soon as he arrived, Wen Tianxiang also arrived, "Your Majesty, Meng Tuo led an army of 50,000 to attack my Xiujiang Town from the south. ”

Fifty thousand?

Zhao Dongting's face changed slightly, "It seems that the Yuan army has completely formed a situation of encirclement in the east." ”

Meng Tuo took great pains to attack Xiujiang Town from the south, undoubtedly trying to force Zhao Dongting and them into the encirclement.

Zhao Dongting was extremely sure of the Yuan army's intentions at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Military order, let the soldiers must guard this Xiujiang Town." Before the headquarters of the various group armies and divisions and regiments arrived at Xiujiang Town, Xiujiang Town could not afford to be lost. Otherwise, the general trend of my Great Song campaign has gone. ”

Wen Tianxiang received the order, but did not leave, and said: "Your Majesty, those soldiers on the isolated island in the middle of the river? ”

Zhao Dongting said: "I can't control it. If the Yuan army is willing to divide its troops to go to the isolated island, then they will go! ”

Wen Tianxiang didn't say anything more, and ran out again.

Zhao Dongting's fingers tapped on the table, stunned.

At this time, there were more than 20,000 of his soldiers in Xiujiang Town, and although the Yuan army had 50,000, he did not think that the Yuan army would be able to capture Xiujiang Town in a short time. What he is worried about now is when those group army headquarters and division headquarters will be able to rush to Xiujiang Town. And, will they be able to make it smoothly on the road?

After waiting for a while, he had not left the main hall, and another soldier came to report, kneeling outside the hall, "Your Majesty, there are also two thousand yuan troops from the west to capture the city." ”

Zhao Dongting came back to his senses, waved his hand, and said, "I know." ”

After that, he walked out of the hall and said to Le who was guarding the gate of the hall: "Senior, follow me to meet the Yuan army." ”

Wen Tianxiang led most of the soldiers in the city to the south to resist Mengtuo, and at this time, it was obviously unfavorable to divide the troops to the west.

"Yes."

Le Wuwu didn't say much, and immediately took Zhao Dongting to the place where the Wuding Hall worshippers were stationed in the town.

After more than ten minutes, Zhao Dongting led nearly a thousand Wuding Hall worshippers to the west of Xiujiang Town, holding the Shenlong Gun and the thunder around their waists.

At this time, the south of Xiujiang Town was already full of cannons.

The Flying Dragon soldiers gathered, a total of 800 grenadiers, and there were countless thunderbolts in the army, which was undoubtedly enough for those soldiers to drink a pot.

Even the drumming of the Yuan army became almost inaudible in the sound of artillery fire.

When Zhao Dongting led the Wuding Hall worshippers to the west city wall, Song Bitao just led two thousand soldiers to the city.

Compared to the great momentum in the south, the formation on this side is undoubtedly much smaller.

The earthen wall of Xiujiang Town is only more than one meter high, and Zhao Dongting is standing, and his head can still be exposed on the earthen wall.

The worshippers of Wuding Hall propped their hands on the earthen wall, and the chambers of the pole Shenlong Gong stretched out outside the earthen wall.

Zhao Dongting looked at the Yuan army outside the city and shouted loudly: "Who are the people who are coming?" ”

Song Bitao stood in front of the army at a gallop, looked at the heads waiting on the earthen wall, and shouted: "Yuan General Song Bitao." ”

In fact, Zhao Dongting knew that it was him, and he had already received information about the visit these days. At this time, it is just a deliberate question.

Seeing Song Bitao's answer, there was a little hope in his eyes, and he said: "Song Bitao, you were originally a Song general, why did you descend to the Yuan and lead the army to attack me?" ”

Song Bitao in front of the army was surprised.

He naturally didn't expect that the person who was talking to him at this time would be the little emperor of the Song Dynasty.

For so many years, he actually still has feelings for the Southern Song Dynasty. Otherwise, he would not hate the inaction of the previous Song Emperor.

He lowered the Yuan, which can be said to be for the people, or it can be said that it was because he was completely disappointed in the previous corrupt Song Dynasty.

Now, the Great Song Dynasty is prosperous under the governance of Zhao Dongting, which undoubtedly makes his heart a little complicated.

In particular, Li He's words in prison still seem to echo in his ears, keeping him awake at night.

The Song Dynasty was decaying, and it was understandable that he had reduced the yuan. But now that the Song Dynasty is full of vitality, he is still fighting for the Yuan Dynasty.

Should this be done?

Even Song Bitao himself felt that it shouldn't be.

However, he has been a Yuan general for many years, and over the years, he has not been wronged in the Yuan court. Even, Emperor Kublai Khan's ambitions, wisdom and martial arts, also let him see the prosperity of the Yang Empire. If the Song Dynasty is destroyed and the world is in harmony, he feels that the world can regain its prosperity under the rule of Kublai Khan.

For the whole world, he felt that he should help Yuan destroy the Song Dynasty. And because of his loyalty in his heart, he felt that he should not attack Song.

The difficult choice that was once in Xiangyang City is now in front of Song Bitao's eyes again.

This made him not speak for a long time.

It wasn't until the deputy general next to him hummed softly that Song Bitao closed his eyes slightly and shouted loudly: "Song Bitao, the criminal minister, has come for the prosperity of the world." ”

This short sentence seemed to use all his strength.

His eyes were also firm at this moment.

I have to say that Yang Fan is really accurate. In the end, Song Bitao still stood on the opposite side of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting listened to him call himself a criminal minister inside the earthen wall, and said that he came for the prosperity of the world, and his eyes showed a slightly complicated color.

He thought that when he was in Qizhou, Le Chan and Le Wu assassinated him, and said that it was for the people of the world.

How similar is Song Bitao's sentence to that time?

He turned his head to look at Le Wuyuan next to him, and said, "Senior, if there is a war in the future, this Yuan will not be killed." ”

"Okay."

Le nodded gratuitously.

Zhao Dongting looked out again, "If that's the case, then let's fight!" ”
