Sections 477 and 478 The Tang Army Goes on the Expedition... The dragon returns to the sea!
Ezhou City chased soldiers in all directions, but Li Luo had already arrived in Anqing. Although the river is not as fast as the sea, because it goes downstream, Li Luo's fleet is also two hundred miles in one day and one night.
Li Luo stood on the deck, facing the river breeze, his heart surging.
It's really about to start.
Cui Xiuning must have also gotten the news. So, will women raise troops in advance?
If Xiuning raised troops to attack in advance, he would indeed be able to receive a surprise effort. But he didn't want Cui Xiuning to raise troops in advance.
He wanted to personally lead his troops to fight this first battle. This can not only boost the morale of the army and the people to the greatest extent, but also consolidate the majesty of the Tang monarch. What's more, apart from him, there is no second person in the Tang Kingdom who has commanded an army of more than 100,000.
After the tempering of the expedition to Japan and the expedition to Vietnam, Li Luo has become an excellent commander of the army. He personally commanded, and he was more sure.
However, Li Luo hoped that Cui Xiuning would not passively wait for him to come back. At the very least, the sailor can fight first. First kill the already weak Jiangsu-Zhejiang Naval Division, and block the Yangtze River. In this way, after returning to himself, he can directly lead his troops to land.
Well, the daughter-in-law shouldn't be stupid. With the presence of the righteous father and Wen Tianxiang, the Tang army will definitely launch a water war in advance.
Li Luo is not very worried about the war now. What he is most worried about now is whether he can escape back to Haidong smoothly.
He was sure that the Yuan army had caught up.
Fortunately, there are few mountains in the southern plains, and the speed of the post road is far less than that of Jiangbei, and the speed of the Yuan army's pursuit is not fast.
Moreover, among the Yangtze River waterproof division, there are 3,000 of his people, and on the Yangtze River, the Yuan army cannot do what it takes to put itself. Even if the Yuan army chases it, it will be difficult to catch itself.
The only thing to worry about is that the messenger of the Yuan army rushed to Songjiang at the mouth of the Yangtze River in advance, and ordered the Yuan army's Jiangsu and Zhejiang naval divisions to seal the mouth of the river and intercept themselves.
That's troublesome.
Although the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Naval Division lacked troops and ships and its combat strength was weak, there were still dozens of warships of the three or four thousand naval divisions. Coupled with the remnants of the Yuan Army's Jiang Waterproof Division, there are at least more than 8,000 soldiers and horses, and his own 3,000 water division is not an opponent.
Li Luo couldn't help but be very worried.
Where did the Yuan army go?
Whenever Li Luo went to a place, he gathered his Jiang Water Division, and when he came to Anqing, he had gathered thousands of people and became a small fleet.
When the other Yuan army sailors saw the official ships of the Ping Zhangtang and the Li Luo sailors who were also flying the battle flag of the Yuan army, they had no doubts, let alone intercepted them.
Since the Yangtze River Sailor was defeated in suppressing the lake pirates in Dongting Lake, and his strength was greatly damaged, he has been much more honest.
However, only two days after Li Luo's fleet left Anqing, a fast horse carried an order from Chacha Su'er, saying that Li Luo had been removed from his post by pretending to be Gao Li'er by pretending to be Han Chinese.
The Anqingjiang waterproof division hurriedly hoisted the sail to catch up. And before that, Jiujiang's Jiang waterproof division received the order earlier and had already chased after him.
So, on the mighty Yangtze River, Li Luo's fleet was in front, and the Yuan army fleet was chasing behind.
At the same time, Chasuer and Kudu Timur sent messengers to ride fast horses along the post station avenue to drive directly to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to report the news.
Although the southern post road is not as straight and convenient as the north, and it cannot be four or five hundred miles a day like the north, but in the case of changing people and horses, the messenger can run five or six hundred miles in one day and one night. (Changing people and horses is very fast, and the fastest can be 800 miles)
Therefore, on April 12, the sixth day of Li Luo's escape, just after Jiqing (Nanjing), the messengers of the Yuan army arrived at Songjiang Mansion in advance.
As long as the order is sent to the sailors near Matsue Prefecture, the entrance to the sea can be blocked. And the Yangtze River Naval Division of the Yuan Army, which was chasing Li Luo, had already gathered more than 3,000 people.
As soon as the front and back were blocked, Li Luo could not fly with his wings.
However, when the messenger arrived at Matsue, he was dumbfounded......
…………
After discussing with Yan Duo and Wen Tianxiang, Cui Xiuning decided to adopt a compromise plan.
The army landed in operation, and it was necessary to wait for Li Luo to come back and personally command. But water wars, you can fight first!
On the one hand, the fleet went north to welcome Li Luo out of the Yangtze River, and on the other hand, it eliminated the remnants of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Naval Division, entered the Yangtze River to eliminate the Yangtze River Naval Division, and blockaded the Yangtze River.
On the other hand, he sent an order to Luo Yu, a Fujian naval division, and ordered Luo Yu to seize the Quanzhou shipyard, seize the hundreds of Yuan warships that were about to be built, and control the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong.
In addition, in order to save time, the army also had to be dispatched to wait for Li Luo's return along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
In this way, Li Luo does not need to return to Haidong, which can save several days.
This is clearly the best option. Cui Xiuning, Yan Duo, Wen Tianxiang and others all agreed.
On 8 April, the third day of Li Luo's escape from Ezhou, 140,000 Tang Army land divisions, 30,000 Tang Army sailors, and a large number of baggage transport fleets were all ready.
All the samurai went to the Zhongwu Shrine in Luoning City to worship and say goodbye to the Chungmu Shrine.
Hundreds of thousands of people spontaneously came to the military port to see them off, and almost all of them burst into tears, and many of them even shouted loudly, shaking the sea and the sky.
"The king will win! The Don Army will win! ”
"The king will win! The Don Army will win! ”
"Anti-Yuan! Anti-meta! ”
Inside and outside the huge Luoning Port, at a glance there are dense warships and transport ships, white sails like clouds, it seems to be overwhelming, and the momentum is incomparably huge.
A group of soldiers of the Tang Army, dressed in stubborn and stubborn clothes, led by samurai wearing armor and carrying Tang swords at their waists, lined up in a neat line to get on the boat.
A piece of artillery, war horses, mules and horses, stone cannons, bed crossbows, etc. were also put on board in turn.
People shouted and neighed, the armor was sonorous, the battle flags were like forests, and there were soldiers and horses everywhere.
The sail battleships such as Chang'an, Luoyang, and Jinyang have been equipped with ten-pound artillery pieces. On the flagship Chang'an, there are two tall flags, one embroidered with a dragon and phoenix auspicious pattern, which is the flag of the Tang Dynasty. A pole is embroidered with big Tang characters, and it is hunting in the wind.
On the sub-flagship Luoyang, there are also two flags. One is the battle flag of the Tang Army embroidered with a phoenix, and the other is the commander Daxu embroidered with "Zhengyuan Governor Tang Guogong Li".
Because Li Luo was not there, Cui Xiuning of course had to lead the army in person. And the Tang State was handed over to the Taigong Yan Duo as regent, and the prince Li Zheng was in charge of the country.
In addition to the 10,000 land divisions and 5,000 naval divisions left behind in Haidong, the Tang State dispatched troops to conquer the country this time, with a land and water army of 170,000 people.
Cui Xiuning, dressed in red armor and hanging a gorgeous Tang knife from his waist, raised his tent on the flagship Chang'an.
Wen Tianxiang also put on armor and sat on Cui Xiuning's side.
On both sides sat Zheng He, Jiang Tu, Du Lie, Utu, Hu Gu, Guangxia, Yang Xu, Zhu Jie, Liu Tuo, Yang Qingque, Chen Shuzhen (Mrs. Xu), Xiao Bei, Han Shao, Zhang Yong, Shen Huahua, Wu Yan, Qu Shi, Yelu Zhongjie, Shi Mo Huaide, Li Yi and other generals.
It seems that there is a lot of talent, but Cui Xiuning knows very well that this lineup is still far behind. Because most of them have no experience in commanding tens of thousands of troops.
“…… The military strategy is established, and there is no more to say. The rise and fall of my Tang Dynasty, the fate of the Central Plains, in one fell swoop! Please also work together to assist you in restoring the Central Plains! After years of hard work, you can't put it down! Cui Xiuning said succinctly.
"Assist the king, restore the Central Plains!" The generals said one after another, and everyone's faces were excited.
Cui Xiuning ordered: "Then... Let's set sail! ”
"Set sail!"
"Set sail!"
"Woo-woo-"
"Knock knock—"
With an order, the huge Tang army fleet finally set sail, carrying 170,000 soldiers of the Han, Jurchen, She, Khitan, and Dangxiang tribes, as well as 30,000 military slaves, a total of 200,000 people, floating in the north.
Since ancient times, the fleet has been prosperous, and it is better than today!
…………
Outside Quanzhou City, Fujian Navy Military Port, a special guest came today.
The general who was ordered to succeed Luo Yu as the Fujian Sailor Wanhu: Hapu Adin.
Hapu Adin held the holy decree in his hand and took the guards to enter the camp of the Chinese army of the Navy Division proudly, but he saw Luo Yu wearing armor and discussing things.
It should be that he has been informed, and of course Luo Yu knows that Hapu Adin is here.
However, he was still in the handsome position, not only did he not have any intention of getting up to greet him, but he also looked at Hapu Adin with a smile.
And the sailors on both sides of the big tent also turned their heads together with strange expressions, looking at Hapu Adin with an arrogant face.
Seeing this scene, Hapu Adin chuckled in his heart, and said secretly: Luo Yu knows that I am coming, but he will not go out of the camp to greet him, and he will be so rude when he meets, is it not to...
Thinking of this, Hapu Adin's heart hung in the air.
"The Great Khan has a will, Fujian Sailor Wanhu Luo Yu kneels and listens!" Hapu Adin said stubbornly, although he was suspicious, the shelf still wouldn't fall.
Luo Yu suddenly smiled.
"With the armor on your body, it's inconvenient to kneel, so you still read it directly." Luo Yu said quietly.
What the?
Daring!
Where does Hapu Addin still not know that Luo Yu has bad intentions? He has come to this, and he must declare the decree.
Holding back his anger and fear, Harpu Adin took a deep breath and began to recite the Divine Decree.
"In the power of the longevity weather, in the great blessing of the shade! The emperor's holy decree was given to Luo Yu, the Fujian sailor. Since you have been an official of 10,000 households, you have seen good skills at sea, and you have won a lot of battles. My Dayuan attaches the most importance to military merits, and if you don't reward your merits, you will lose my kindness. ”
"I love your talents, I like you to be loyal, and I tell you the truth, most of them have been entrusted with another important task, so you can come to Beijing. You have been in charge of the water for many days, and you should be a great official. You quickly handed over the errand with Xinwanhu Hapu Adin, and then you moved. Chin this! ”
After reading the holy decree written by the Mongolian Hanlin, Hapu Adin said: "General Luo, do you understand the will of the Great Khan?" The Great Khan said clearly, General Luo has merit and should be promoted, and he will be transferred to Dadu to be a big official, and he will be envious in the next life. ”
Like Pu Shougeng, Hapu Adin has been in the Central Plains for many years, and unlike the Mongolian Hanlin, he is very proficient in Chinese.
Luo Yu still didn't have the slightest intention of getting up, and Hapu Adin's heart suddenly sank.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Yu said something that made Hapu Adin's heart beat and his mouth was stunned.
"Is this the decree of Emperor Dayuan? Very good. However, I can't give an edict. Because, if you want to be a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, you can only obey the edict of my Tang Dynasty. Luo Yu said teasingly.
What the?
What did he say?
He's not Dayuan's courtier anymore? He is a courtier of the Tang Dynasty? What Datang? Hasn't Li Tang been dead for hundreds of years?
Now there are all the thieves in the south, including Zhao Liangchao's Song, Xiao Yin's Liang, and Huang Hua's Wu, but I haven't heard of any Tang!
Wrong!
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was surnamed Li, and Li Luo was surnamed Li, and Luo Yu was not Li Luo's party? Isn't it because the Great Khan removed his military power because he was Li Luo's man?
So, this so-called Tang Dynasty is Li Luo?
Hahaha, yes, that's good! Li Luo, he really rebelled!
Hapu Adin suddenly felt that he was a fool, and many people were fools.
They were deceived by Li Luo and deceived for several years!
Is Li Luo not just pretending to be Gao Li'er to bully the king? He's been plotting a rebellion from beginning to end!
Of course, Hapu Adin is not stupid, and when he thinks about it, his heart is bright.
But he is a military general after all, and when the matter comes, he simply puts his mind down.
"General Luo, what are you talking about, it's Li Luo, right?" Hapu Adin sneered.
Luo Yu's face sank, "Bold!" You actually call the king by his name, aren't you afraid of death! ”
What?
Hapu Adin laughed angrily.
"It's really him! Hmph, Li Luo is ungrateful, but a sinister and cunning lowly man! What can he do? General Luo, generals, I will advise you to rein in the precipice and make meritorious contributions, but it is still too late! If you don't come to your senses, I'm afraid it will be a catastrophe to destroy the Nine Clans! ”
Luo Yu said angrily: "Dare to insult the king!" Come on, take it! ”
"No!"
A group of wolf-like armored soldiers surrounded Hapu Adin and the others, seized their swords, and controlled them all.
Hapu Adin laughed, "There are more than a million soldiers in the Great Yuan!" You wait for the rebellion of the Great Yuan Dynasty to do this stupid thing of using the mantis arm as a car, and you can be arrogant for a few days! Generals, Luo Yu is obsessed, you guys take it with me! Ben will ensure that all of you will be promoted and rewarded! ”
Luo Yu sneered. Among the generals here, who is not a king? Don't say that he himself will not betray the Tang Dynasty, even if he betrays the Tang Dynasty, the generals will not agree. Not to mention that Harp Adin can incite them.
"Come on, exit and behead the sacrificial flag!" Luo Yu was too lazy to talk to Hapu Adin anymore, and directly ordered to kill.
"Hahaha! You wait for death! As soon as the Dayuan Iron Cavalry arrived, ......" Hapu Adin laughed and scolded wildly, but before he could finish scolding, he was pushed out of the tent by the armor soldiers.
Luo Yu waved his hand and threw down an order arrow, "Madame has an order!" Yi Zhi anti yuan! Capture the Quanzhou shipyard and block the Fujian Sea! ”
"Yi Zhi anti-yuan! Yi Zhi anti yuan! ”
The generals pressed their swords and shouted together, and everyone looked excited.
It's finally time for this day!
Soon, the Fujian Navy Division suddenly dispatched and quickly blocked the port of the Quanzhou Shipyard, swaggered into the shipyard, and took all the more than 300 new warships that were about to finish their work.
Even a large number of shipwrights in the shipyard were controlled.
Quanzhou Shipyard was originally the largest shipyard in the Yuan Dynasty, and one-third of the warships were produced in Quanzhou Shipyard. Moreover, when Li Luo was in Fujian Pingzhang, he also took the initiative to play and took over the task of manufacturing fifty percent of the new warships of the Yuan Dynasty for the Quanzhou Shipyard.
Three hundred large and small warships, enough to equip 20,000 sailors, are now all cheaper than the Tang Kingdom.
The Yuan Court, which was already in dire need of warships, had no warships.
Another major manufacturer of warships is Qingyuan Shipyard (Ningbo), which undertakes 20% of the shipbuilding tasks, and will soon be cheaper than the Tang Kingdom.
After the capture of the Quanzhou shipyard, the flag of the Yuan army of the Fujian Navy Division slowly fell, while a brand-new Tang character banner was rising.
The Fujian provincial officials in Quanzhou were immediately shocked.
One more anti-thief: Don!
………………
On April 11, the day before Cha Suer's messenger arrived at Songjiang, the overwhelming Tang fleet appeared off the coast of Songjiang, only a few miles from the mouth of the Yangtze River.
The entire Songjiang Mansion and Chongming County are like Mount Tai pressing on the top.
The Yuan Army's Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Naval Divisions Wanhu Mansion, stationed in Chongming, had not recovered due to a lack of ships, and now there were only more than 4,000 people, how could they be opponents when they saw such a huge fleet attacking?
On the sea several miles away, the white sails are like mountains, connecting the sky to the sea, exuding an unstoppable monstrous momentum.
As far as the eye can see, it's all boats.
On a tall warship, several big flags were flying, one of which was a big Tang character, and the other seemed to be a phoenix in flames.
Tang Dynasty......
Shen Zhuo, the water division of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, was shocked and sent people to report to the political affairs of Pingzhang in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province while studying countermeasures.
Cui Xiuning stood on the deck of the Chang'an, looking at the military port of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Navy Division a few miles away, and he was really excited.
"Herald! Encircle and annihilate the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Water Divisions, control Chongming, and block the Yangtze River! Cui Xiuning did not hesitate to give the military order to attack.
"Woo-woo-woo-"
As the horn of the Tang army's warship appeared, a full 10,000 elite Tang army sailors stood out in front of them, forming a fan-shaped formation, surrounding Chongming Island.
"It's over......" Shen Zhuo, the water master of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, was pale, he didn't know where he had no chance of winning.
The Tang Army's sailors fought the rabbit with a lion, and they were outnumbered by the crowd, and the Yuan Army's sailors simply had no power to fight back.
"Boom! Bang! "Several ten-pound guns on the battleship Jinyang fired together, and although most of the projectiles missed, one shot still hit a Yuan warship.
The warship was still two miles away, as if it had been struck by a hammer, half of the ship was destroyed, sawdust flew, the sea water poured into it frantically, and a dozen sailors were not killed and wounded. The entire ship suddenly poured at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This was the first battle of the new artillery of the Don Army.
"Boom! Bang! ”
In the flash of fire, black smoke suddenly rose and the loud noise was like thunder, and the Jinling sail battleship also opened fire.
There was a Yuan army warship that was blasted out of a terrifying hole far away, and in the blood rain, the Yuan army on the deck cried and called for his mother.
The soldiers of the Yuan Army looked at this scene in disbelief, and everyone was terrified.
What kind of cannon is this? How can it be so powerful and hit so far?
What is the origin of this Tang Army!
When did there be such a powerful water master?
When Shen Zhuo, the sailor of Wanhu, saw this scene, his heart was cold. Dayuan also has artillery, and his fleet is also equipped with artillery, but compared with the artillery of the Tang Army, Dayuan's artillery...
However, although Shen Zhuo, who was in turmoil in his heart, knew that he would be defeated, he still ordered the artillery to return fire to strengthen the army's heart.
"Boom!" The horn guns on the warships of the Yuan army were also fired. At the same time, the Yuan army's earth-shattering thunder and rockets were also launched together.
However, the power and range of the artillery of the Yuan army were completely different from those of the Tang army. The projectile flew just over half a mile before falling into the sea, only with a strong voice.
The sound of the Tang army's artillery was dull and long, like a lion and a tiger's roar. The artillery of the Yuan army was crisp and short, like the sound of firecrackers.
This naval battle is completely asymmetrical. The Tang Army was far superior to the Yuan Army in terms of quantity, quality of sailors, equipment, and quality of warships.
In just two quarters of an hour, the desperate Jiangsu-Zhejiang sailors completely collapsed. Shen Zhuo was helpless, so he had to let his own soldiers tie himself and come to the Chang'an in person... Surrender.
The funny thing is that until Shen Zhuo surrendered, he didn't know what the Tang army that accepted his surrender came from. When he saw that the commander of the Tang Army turned out to be a beautiful woman, he suddenly became messy in the wind.
Simply and neatly solved the Jiangsu-Zhejiang naval division at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the 10,000-strong Tang Army locked the river fleet, and immediately swaggered straight into the Yangtze River.
The Suojiang Fleet is a warship suitable for sailing on the Yangtze River. In the case of the great loss of the strength of the Yuan army's Yangtze River Naval Division, this 10,000-lock river fleet could completely walk sideways on the Yangtze River.
The officials of the Yuan court in Songjiang Mansion were shocked, and in a panic, they could only send fast horses to report to Lin'an's Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and at the same time to report that the eastern Zhejiang Province of Qingyuan Road was happy and the marshal of the capital was happy.
Because he was happy to hold 50,000 Han troops, he was the general with the most troops in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Yuan armies.
Although there were still more than 100,000 troops in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Yuan, they were all relatively scattered, and it was difficult to concentrate them in an emergency.
However, to the surprise of Songjiang Prefecture, the so-called Tang army did not land, but one of them traced up the river, and most of it remained at sea.
It wasn't until the next day, when Chasuer's messenger came to Songjiang Mansion, that Songjiang Mansion suddenly understood.
Li Tang, Li Tang, this so-called Tang Army must be Li Luo's soldiers and horses!
Unexpectedly, Li Luo turned out to be a Han Chinese, and he was so scheming and secretly ran such a force!
What is Covering? What is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? What is treacherous?
Li Luo is it.
Hidden in the nine places, moving in the nine heavens.
The messenger also froze when he learned that the Don army was coming. Qin Cha's order was to mobilize the Jiangsu-Zhejiang naval division to intercept Li Luo.
However, now that the Jiangsu and Zhejiang sailors have been destroyed, how can they block the Jiangkou and intercept Li Luo?
At present, it is the pseudo-Tang thief army that is blocking the mouth of the river!
…………
On April 13, Li Luo, who had already passed Zhenjiang Mansion, finally met the Tang Army's Suojiang Fleet with great fanfare.
At the moment when he saw the Tang Army's phoenix battle flag, Li Luo's heart that had been hanging finally fell.
That's it.
The woman did not disappoint him.
When the guards saw the Tang Army warship, they immediately thundered with joy!
And Han Shao, who commanded the Suojiang fleet, was also greatly relieved to see Li Luo's official ship.
Your Majesty is safe and sound!
The two fleets met, and Han Shao came to Li Luoguan's ship as soon as possible, and solemnly bowed down and said, "Minister Han Shao, meet your lord!" The king is safe and sound, which is really my great luck for Tang! ”
"Get up." Li Luo calmly helped Han Shao up, "The army is at the mouth of the Yangtze River?" Is it the lady in command? ”
Han Shao said: "Your Excellency is really a clever calculation, my Tang army is at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang water divisions have been destroyed!" Madame is waiting for you in the waters of Songjiang! ”
Li Luo nodded and said with a smile: "Okay!" No worries! Han Shao, the Yuan Army's Yangtze River Sailors have already chased after you, and I will allocate another 2,000 Sailors to you, destroy them, and blockade the Yangtze River! ”
"No!" Han Shao commanded.
At this time, Li Luo had already gathered 3,000 sailors around him, and he allocated 2,000 to Han Shao, and he led 1,000 people to continue south.
Han Shao originally had 10,000 elite soldiers, and after getting 2,000 men, the fleet reached 12,000.
The remnants of the Yangtze River Water Division of the Yuan Army, which were chasing behind, only had about 5,000 people.
A day later, Han Shao's Suojiang fleet and the Yuan army's naval division, which was pursuing Li Luo, met, and the Tang and Yuan armies finally broke out in the first major battle on the Yangtze River.
The Suojiang fleet, which was numerous and well-shipped, only took more than an hour to defeat the Yuan army's Yangtze River Naval Division and pursued for dozens of miles. More than 1,000 Yuan troops were killed in the battle, and the remaining 3,000 people all surrendered.
After this battle, the Yangtze River Naval Division of the Yuan Dynasty was almost wiped out, and the control of the Yangtze River also fell into the hands of the Tang army.
On April 14, Li Luo finally left the mouth of the Yangtze River and came to the sea off the Songjiang River.
At a glance, the Tang Army's warships were as white as clouds and majestic. Seeing this, Li Luo couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
I, Li Luo, have finally returned to the sea.
Uncle Kublai Khan, you wait, let's get started.
Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now it is stepping forward from the beginning!
As soon as Li Luo's official ship appeared, the Tang army suddenly broke out with an earth-shattering shout, and everyone was overjoyed.
"It's your lordship!"
"Kimijo is back! Blessed by the old gentleman! ”
"Boom!" The sail battleships also fired their guns in congratulations.
Cui Xiuning looked at the familiar handsome figure on the official boat not far away, couldn't help but burst into tears, and finally relaxed after tense spirit for many days.
After three months, the fugitive finally returned safely.
She was pleasantly surprised, but she couldn't help but be a little afraid. What would have been the consequences if it hadn't been decided to move first? Li Luo will most likely be blocked by the Jiangsu-Zhejiang sailors.
That's it.
When Li Luo's official ship approached, the officers and men of the Tang Army on each ship bowed down on the deck one after another, shouting and shaking the sea and sky, and the scene was very spectacular.
The officials of the Yuan Court who were monitoring the movements of the Tang army on the beach were all stunned when they saw this scene.
There's no more to be wrong, Li Luo is... The lord of the pseudo-Tang!
Li Luo returned to the Chang'an amid the cheers of the soldiers, and saw Cui Xiuning, who was wearing red armor and had a heroic posture, and his heart was full of soft warmth.
"The concubine welcomes the return of the king!" Because in full view of everyone, Cui Xiuning can only abide by etiquette.
"Madame, hard work!" Li Luo wanted to hug Cui Xiuning fiercely, but now he could only abide by etiquette, take Cui Xiuning's hand, and salute hand in hand.
Of course, he still scratched the woman's hand without a trace.
"Chen Wen Tianxiang, welcome to your lordship!"
"The ministers will be lifted, welcome to the king!"
Wen Tianxiang and other ministers of civil and military affairs also bowed and saluted. The generals of the other ships also rushed to the Chang'an to see Li Luo.
"Zhuqing has worked hard! Get up. Li Luo said with a smile, very pleased.
The so-called military situation is like fire, Li Luo did not delay, as soon as he returned to the army, he raised his account to discuss matters.
Actually, there is nothing to negotiate. The military strategy and political strategy have been formulated a long time ago, and it is very detailed, and the intelligence is also available, and it is necessary to implement it directly.
It can be said that all the preparations are ready, just waiting for Li Luo's order.
"Herald! Tomorrow, the widow will lead 60,000 soldiers and horses south to Hangzhou Bay and enter the Qiantang River to attack Lin'an! ”
"Mr. Wen, you command 40,000 land divisions, for the Northern Route Army, enter the Yangtze River to attack Jiqing!"
"Chen Shuzhen, you command 40,000 land divisions, for the Southern Route Army, go south to attack Qingyuan!"
Li Luo issued a military order, and then made a detailed distribution of the 140,000 land division.
At this time, Lin'an was the base camp of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and it was also the old capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, with a higher political status than Jiqing, and it was also a city heavily guarded by the Yuan army, so Li Luo had to personally lead the army to attack.
It is normal for Wen Tianxiang to be the commander of the Northern Route Army, he has led soldiers for several years, and his military strategy is also outstanding, and his reputation is very high.
But why did you hand over the South Road to Chen Shuzhen (Mrs. Xu), a female general?
Because Chen Shuzhen is the only general who has commanded tens of thousands of troops and fought with the Yuan army for several years, except for Li Luo and Wen Tianxiang.
Her experience in commanding troops is enough to take responsibility.
And even Du Lie has only commanded a few thousand soldiers and horses at most. Moreover, Du Lie and Utu are more than brave and lacking in strategy.
As for Yang Xu and the others, they don't have the experience of commanding tens of thousands of troops to fight, and they still need to be trained.
Yelu Zhongjie and others, firstly, they are generals, and secondly, they only command the cavalry, which is not suitable.
In fact, his father-in-law, Yan Duo, has both qualifications and abilities. The problem is that he is too old to let him out again.
Then there is only Mrs. Xu, the female general.
And Wen Tianxiang and Mrs. Xu are loyal and reliable enough.
Why do you have to divide the army into three ways? Because only by dividing the troops can we control several important places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang before the Yuan army reacts, and expand the results of the battle in the shortest time.
Li Luo immediately awarded Mrs. Xu as the envoy of the Qingyuan Festival, and Wen Tianxiang as the envoy of the Jiqing Festival. The envoy of the Jiqing Army was not only responsible for taking Jiqing (Nanjing), but also responsible for attacking the southern Jiangsu region in later generations.
And the Qingyuan Road Jiedu envoy is not only responsible for taking Qingyuan (Ningbo), but also attacking eastern Zhejiang.
In order to control the locality, he was accompanied by a large number of outstanding officials from Haidong.
Many of these officials were village-level officials, who accompanied the army to attack the Central Plains and served as magistrates in the recovery areas.
A township official in Haidong must be an official of the state government. A village official must serve as a county official.
That's how capricious!
They were to be responsible for governing the locality, assisting the Tang army in governing the people, recruiting troops, and transporting grain and grass.
After discussing the strategic layout of the army, there is a "discussion of the Yuan Yuan".
Although the Tang army has fought two water battles, it is not actually a formal start of troops.
The issuance of the document and the landing operation represented the official anti-Yuan army of the Tang Army!
Li Luo and Wen Tianxiang pondered for a while, and finally came up with a satisfactory article to discuss Yuan.
ps: I'm so tired today, that's it, good night friends! It's the end of the month, so I ask for support. The list, there are still votes for green votes, of course, if you can double at the end of the month, you can also wait until double to vote! Crab Crab Support!
