"In this battle, the first responsibility is in the commander. Since Ben Shuai is the general of Zhennan, he will naturally explain the mistake of this battle to the imperial court. Deputy Marshal Zuo is not at fault, and Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mo Huaide are also not at fault. With a word, Li Luo took the responsibility.

Is Li Luo responsible?

Yes.

And as a manager, you can't take it off if you want to.

So, Li Luo simply became generous and took all the responsibilities. Anyway, as long as the great work of pacifying Annan is in hand, these things are nothing at all.

Of course, although this responsibility can't do anything to the general of Zhengnan, it can make Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mo Huaide lose their official positions and be beheaded at worst.

Therefore, Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mo Huaide are very grateful to Li Luo.

"General Xie forgiveness! General Xie is in charge! The two of them took off their helmets together and thanked them, but they ignored them.

With a general in charge, can you be so domineering again?

Obviously, the two of them already have a grudge against Ye Sudieer.

Hmph, if it weren't for the general to relieve the siege and save the field, even if they weren't punished by the Sudie'er Army today, they would have been deprived of their military rights. In short, the scapegoat is due.

After all, the Jurchens and the Khitans have both built countries, and they have both been the masters of Mongolia, and they have always been feared by the Meng Yuan, and their trust is limited. As a result, the Khitan Jurchen cavalry was often forced to take the lead, and was even deliberately consumed by the Yuan court, and was suppressed and excluded by the Mongol generals.

And in the eyes of the Khitans and Jurchens, when my Da Liao and Da Jin were still there, your Mongol tribes were just vassals who had been subjugated. For Meng Yuan, they were actually very unconvinced.

Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mo Huaide escaped, which made Ye Sudieer very embarrassed, but since Li Luo also took his responsibility, he had nothing to say.

To be honest, the commander took the initiative to take responsibility, which is also a way to win the hearts and minds of the military.

"Although the casualties are large, but the Vietnamese army is completely annihilated, who can say that the battle is lost? Who dares to say that it is a defeat? Since it was not a defeat, the casualties were revealed. Li Luo made the final decision.

Su Die'er said a little ashamedly: "If it weren't for the general's quick change today, it would be difficult for our army to win, thanks to the general." ”

Although the generals were dissatisfied with Ye Sudieer, they all agreed with his words.

It was a bit of a danger at the time, and what would have happened if the general had not wisely isolated the front and back of the infantry formation, or had not placed all his firearms behind the shield carts?

It's a little scary to think about. Chen Rixian was not without the possibility of a turnaround at that time. Who would have thought that the hundreds of elephants that were exterminated before the Vietnamese army were just a façade? Who would have thought that he would hide thousands of elephants, thousands of buffaloes, in the city behind him?

This battle, whoever fights it, it is estimated that it will also be a problem.

"You don't understand." Li Luo stood up a little deeply, pacing with his hands behind his back, "In this battle, our army is winning in a momentum. Those who are good at fighting and those who are good at planning themselves must follow the trend and not move against the trend. ”

On the contrary, Chen Rilian also lost in a trend. Annan's momentum is gone, what if Chen Rixian wins today? ”

This is, of course, a plausible fallacy. Because the so-called general trend is not static, it can be changed by human efforts.

Li Luo's voice was originally very clear and peaceful. But this sentence was said with a hint of sonorous sound, and there was a faint sense of gold and stone.

When the generals heard this, although they felt that this was not new, when they heard Li Luo say it, they seemed to feel a sense of caution, which was indescribable.

Why does Li Luo want to talk nonsense?

Actually, it's not nonsense, but a warning of an ambush in advance.

Remember my words, if you are wise, you must go with the flow and do not go against the trend. When I Tang Tiger occupies the south, then the general trend of the south will be in my Tang.

Are you returning to Tang, or are you bucking the trend to protect the yuan... May you remember what I have to say today.

What Li Luo didn't know was that his very particular sentence really worked in the end, but that was a later story.

"There are five things to do now." Li Luo raised five fingers.

"First, let the Vietnamese prisoners clean up the dead like dead horses and dead cattle, and all the meat will be pickled, so that it can be used as military rations, and second, it can be sold to maritime merchants. The gold and silver in exchange for this is also the difference between us and us. ”

The generals couldn't help but listen to their heads, and what the general said was reasonable. So many elephants and buffaloes killed in battle, in addition to a large amount of meat, there are also ivory, cowhide, cow tendon and other things, all of which are good things.

They all have a share in this.

But can the general find a market? Who can eat such a huge cargo?

"Second." Li Luo raised his second finger, "Quickly bury the corpses of the dead soldiers of the enemy and us, so as to avoid the outbreak of the plague and affect our army." In this matter, let the Vietnamese army surrender to do it. Chen Rilian... Let Chen Yiji be buried with a generous ceremony. ”

"The third is to prevent the people of Yue from entering the mountains, and cut off the foundation of the imperial court in the mountains of Yue Kingdom."

"Fourth, capture the people of Yue and prepare to harvest spring rice. Sixty percent of the harvested spring rice was used as a flower difference for us and the soldiers. ”

When Li Luo said this, the eyes of all the generals suddenly lit up.

Spring rice is about to ripen, and that's tens of millions of stone of grain! Who doesn't blush?

However, Su Die'er still asked the doubts in his heart, "General, how to transport the grain back?" Dayuan doesn't have many sea ships now. Besides, the imperial court sailors are not lucky with our private wealth. ”

That's what other people care about, too.

How can so much food be transported back? Or rather, how to turn into gold and silver?

Li Luo smiled: "What's so difficult about this? You don't know that in the west of the South Seas, there are many sea merchants. You can eat a few million taels of silver. Ben Shuai had already sent someone to the sea to make contact. If it goes well, a lot of the loot can be monetized. Each of you doesn't have a flower difference of tens of thousands of taels, so I'm sorry for the hard work of the south. ”

The generals laughed, and really felt that the general was a good general who was considerate of his subordinates.

"And the fifth." Li Luo's expression became serious, "It's also the most important thing." After two days of repair, the army began to fight in a cage, and the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps launched together, from east to west, one jungle after another, killing the remnants of the Vietnamese army..."

"Wow!" The generals will receive the order together.

The Yuan army repaired outside the city of Guli until the next day, and suddenly a "bad news" was sent to the camp by the sailors.

Five days ago, the 4,000 remnants of the Dangxiang army that had returned to China for repair were attacked by the naval division of the Nanyang Song Army at sea, because only 2,000 partial divisions of the Fujian Naval Division were transporting the remnants of the Dangxiang army, and as a result, almost all the troops were wiped out, and only a dozen or so warships escaped.

More than 1,000 Fujian sailors and soldiers, more than 4,000 remnants of the party, all died in the sea!

Not only that, but more than a hundred ships were lost.

This is not counting, the remnants of the Song Dynasty also took advantage of the Cham army to be annihilated by Chen Rixian, took advantage of the fire to rob, and occupied the Champa Wangjing, intending to serve as the basis for the anti-Yuan and Song Dynasty restoration.

These two news immediately stunned the generals of the Yuan army.

They had long heard that the small court of the remnant Song Dynasty had gone to Java, and relying on the benefits of the sailors, they had caused trouble to Dayuan in the past two years. But because Java is too far away, and the Yuan army's naval division is now weak, there is nothing to be done.

Who would have thought that he would take advantage of the fire to rob and do such a big thing quietly.

More than 4,000 remnants of the party's army were buried in the sea, and the Mongol generals did not care, nor did the Yuan court and Kublai Khan. But generals such as Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mo Huaide felt a little sad.

But what the Mongol generals cared about was that the Song army dared to occupy Champa!

Is this still worth it?

After Li Luo got the news, although his expression was flat, all the generals "knew", and the general must have been extremely angry in his heart.

"We must not let the Song army occupy the Cham Po!" Li Luo said coldly, "Otherwise, if we wait for Annan to be completely pacified, the Great Khan and the imperial court will not spare me and wait!" It is necessary to seize the Cham and destroy the Song army, and no matter how bad it is, it must be driven into the sea! ”

Su Die'er also stood up and said, "Don't worry, general! Then simply take it with the Cham Po! When the remnant Song ran to such a distant island, it is estimated that there are not many soldiers and horses, and my Dayuan Iron Cavalry can be flattened! ”

Li Luo stood up and said in a deep voice: "The Song army is floating in the sea, and there will not be too many soldiers and horses, but it is just opportunistic. Well, don't report this to the court in advance, lest someone say that we are incompetent. Yelu Zhongjie, Shi Mo Huaide! ”

"The last general!" Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mo Huaide stood up together.

"The two of you will lead the cavalry of your headquarters and immediately go south, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Song army to find a decisive battle! Ben Shuai has only one request, no matter how many casualties are, just take the Cham Po! Li Luo ordered, throwing out two arrows.

"Wow!" Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mo Huaide received the order, and they hated it and wanted to go to Cham to fight.

Ye Sudie'er hurriedly said: "General, the Khitan army and the Jurchen army together only have 12,000 people, and they may not be the opponents of the Song army, otherwise, send another 5,000 Mongolian cavalry?" ”

He was not at ease with the Khitan Army and the Jurchen Army.

When the Yuan Dynasty marched into large armies, Mongol generals often had the task of monitoring other tribes in case they lost control.

Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mo Huaide's faces were ugly, and they were secretly scolding Ye Sudie'er for not trusting them.

Li Luo said: "12,000 Khitan Jurchen cavalry, it's enough to take down the empty Cham." The Song army will never exceed 20,000 in Cham. The Mongol warriors were already less than 10,000 people, and if they sent another 5,000 to Champa, this Annan would not be able to fight. ”

Li Luo decided to do so, and it was difficult for Su Die'er to insist anymore. But since he offended Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mo Huaide, he didn't want them to make a great contribution. Well, it's better to destroy the Song army, they also won a crushing victory.

In the afternoon, Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mo Huaide led 12,000 Khitan Jurchen cavalry south.

"I hope this group of cavalry, surnamed Li. If you don't want to, there's no way around it. After Li Luo personally saw off the two of them, he looked at the back of the southbound cavalry and thought to himself.

His approach may have been a bit of a subordination. In the eyes of some people, lacking the dignified way of the king, it is too despicable and unscrupulous, and it will be looked down upon. This will be recorded in the history books in the future, and it will be a stain on criticism.

Even if he sits in the world, he will not escape the pen of future generations, and his character may appear unbearable.

But so what? Is it more unbearable than Emperor Han Gao, the originator of thick black? More unbearable than the ancestor Li Shimin he recognized? More unbearable than Wei Wu Cao Cao, who was known for his treachery? More unbearable than King Sima Xuan, who is known for his insidiousness? More unbearable than the ungrateful Murong Chui?

Although thousands of people have gone to me! It is ruined or reputational, only its spring and autumn!

It is better to lose a few people than to live up to the people of the world. How many people are qualified to judge me one day?

If you want to be a knife bearer, how can you not be fishy.

…………

Li Luo placed the Annam puppet court in Guli City, and then began the cage policy.

By the end of April, more and more Annam magistrates had surrendered, and more and more officials had gone out to join Chen Yiji, the prison state of Annam. Under the protection of the swords of the Yuan army, the influence of the puppet court of Annam grew.

Under the pacification of the puppet court, Sancheng of the people of Annam did not go into the mountains to hide, but took the initiative to stay in their hometown and become obedient people. The people who were prevented from entering the mountains by the Yuan army also exceeded 20%.

However, half of the people of Annam still fled into the mountains and followed Chen Huang's mountain court.

As a result, the cruel cage policy was finally launched.

The Yuan army blocked the periphery of the mountains and forests with cavalry, and the Tusi barbarians, the Han army and the Yue traitor army were the main forces of encirclement and suppression, and first began to blockade and encircle from the jungle of An Siam Province.

The 50,000 infantry army was divided into three teams, with an encirclement and suppression area every ten miles, and dragged the net into the mountains to "hunt".

That is, the Yuan army concentrated its forces in a certain area, blocked a jungle, and solved a jungle. In this way, it is advanced from east to west.

Although it is said that the water grinds slowly, the days of the court in the mountains suddenly became sad.

Every day, a large number of people are forced out of the jungle, either to return to their hometowns honestly and become obedient people, or to resist and be beheaded.

The people of Annan are not so miserable, at least Li Luo ordered that they should not be slaughtered at will. But the natives did not have Li Luo's military order to protect them, so they would be miserable.

The Yuan army was very cruel to the natives, and they were all killed. After several months of the southern expedition, the Yuan army suffered great losses, and a lot of violent anger accumulated in the hearts of the soldiers.

Not only is Li Luo implementing the cage strategy, but in fact, Shi Bi of the Jiangbei battalion launched the cage strategy as early as half a month ago according to Li Luo's order.

In just a few days, the Yuan army's cage strategy achieved good results.

Not only the generals of the Yuan Army, but also Chen Yiji and other monarchs and ministers of the puppet court of Annam all knew that the mountain court of the Emperor Taishang would not last long.

If there is a lack of army and food, even if you hide in the jungle, how long can you hold out?

"The Lord Regent has arrived!" In Renshou Palace, Guli City, with a singing and shouting, Li Luo, who was dressed in white armor, came to the palace gate and entered the court of the puppet court.

Although the cage policy was formulated by Li Luo, it is now handed over to Shi Bi and Ye Sudieer for specific implementation. As a general of Zhengnan, of course, he didn't need to drill the forest himself.

This young man, in addition to being the general of the Yuan court, is also the "regent general" of the puppet court of Annam.

The regent general, as the name suggests, is, of course, the "Emperor Taishang" who represents the Yuan court in charge of the military and political power of Annam.

The guards and horses of Guli City and Taishang Palace are all Yuan troops. The puppet court of Annam has no military power. Even the Vietnamese traitor army of Chen Jian and Wu E, who surrendered to generals, obeyed Li Luo, the general of the expedition to the south, and did not buy Chen Yiji's account.

Seeing the "General Regent" wearing armor and a sword, Chen Yiji, who was in charge of the court, first stood up and said with a smile: "I've seen the General Regent." General, please be seated. ”

The ministers of the puppet court, of course, were all soft bones, and when they saw Li Luo, they suddenly knelt on the ground, "I've seen the regent general!" ”

Li Luo'an sat on the side and said with a gentle smile: "The prison country and you are discussing today, what are you discussing?" ”

Chen Yiji smiled and said, "The Great General knows that what we are waiting for is the spring rice harvest. ”

"It's a big deal." Li Luo smiled and nodded, "Let's discuss it." ”

Chen Yiji arched his hand and said, "General, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Of course, Li Luo knew what Chen Yiji wanted to say, he was in a hurry.

In a hurry to change from a prison state to the king of Annam.

When the two came to the outside of the palace, Li Luo said bluntly: "Don't worry, the prison country has been issued, and I believe that within a month, most of the will will will come." ”

When Chen Yiji heard that there was still a month, he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

Li Luo sneered in his heart, when Chen Huang's mountain court is resolved, you will obediently be the king of Jiaozhou. As for King Annan, you think too much.

No.

ps: Today is the court session and the fraud case file, and at night I listen to the family members of the parties crying, and I am busy all day. So the update is late, sorry guys! Finally caught up! Crab Crab Support!

In addition, the Chinese-American thing I said last night was ill-intentioned and premeditated, which was a misunderstanding and I thought too much. Don't care, everyone. Crab crab!
