The Yuan army Shangdu Xinjun Wanhu bald looked at the battlefield where the artillery fire was flying and the heart had fallen to the bottom, and this was no longer known to be the first few assaults launched by himself, and more than 3,000 people had been killed and wounded, but it only broke through the two fortifications set up by the Song army at the mouth of the valley. www.biquge.info What made him hold his breath was not only heavy casualties, but also extremely uncomfortable with the Song army's tactics.

Four days ago, when Hangzhou Wanhu Mansion received a Song army warship breaking into the old Song Emperor's mausoleum area from the canal, they only regarded it as a joke, knowing that Jiangnan had been pacified for many years, and the remnants of the Song Dynasty could only survive on the small island of Qiongzhou overseas. How to have the courage to go deep into the hinterland of Jiangnan alone, this is not purely tired and crooked, but with the news of continuous urgent delivery from various states and counties, I know that the matter is true.

Since the matter is true, of course it is necessary to send troops to suppress it, but Wanhu Mansion found that no one came to give orders. At this time, the news of the death of the Great Khan in Kaiping has come, but the plan for a stable situation has not been made public, and he wants to wait for the new emperor to succeed to the throne, and the princes who are guarding everywhere are going north on the grounds of visiting the sick, and the king of Zhennan is of course no exception, and has led troops from Ezhou.

You must know that the prince who guards a place has a lot of power, and he is in charge of the military and political affairs of a place, the most important of which is military power, and it is impossible to mobilize the army without the token of the palace. However, if the enemy came to attack, they could not sit idly by, so they reported the situation to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and asked for troops to be sent to suppress it. Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are located in Jiankang, Hangzhou is the old capital of the Song Dynasty, and it is an important economic town, and Yang Lian Zhenjia, the head of the Jiangnan religion, also fell into the hands of the enemy, and the province did not dare to slack off, so that the Wanhu Mansion was quickly pacified and rescued, and this back and forth consumed a lot of time.

At present, only the Shangdu New Army Wanhu Station is stationed in Hangzhou, and Shaoxing is also their jurisdiction, and it is the duty of the Song army to exterminate the entry of the Song army. However, Bald Man is not enthusiastic about this. You must know that Shangdu Wanhu was originally subordinate to Meng Ge's old department, but after his death, his son did not inherit the throne of Khan, but let Kublai Khan rob it. As a result, the Shangdu Wanhu was demoted from the Son of Heaven's pro-army to the ordinary Wanhu, which made the bald man who inherited the ancestral position unhappy, and what was even more difficult to accept was that Kublai Khan broke the ancestral system and passed the throne to his son.

Since then, Shangdu Wanhu has participated in a series of battles to pacify the south of the Yangtze River, and has made countless achievements. However, let Balman find that even so, it was still difficult to gain Kublai Khan's trust in the end, and in this reorganization, Shangdu Wanhu was divided into two armies, the old army returned to Shangdu's hometown to resist the rebellious kings, and the new army was stationed in Hangzhou.

After receiving the order, Balman ordered the troops stationed in the surrounding states and counties to assemble, while collecting intelligence, and learned that this time it was the remnant Song Guangwang who personally led the army to come under the banner of protecting the tomb, and the disaster was caused by the monk Yang Lian Zhengana stealing the tomb of the former Song Emperor. He thought that since the Song army was like this, he would not stay for a long time, and now that Yang Lian Zhenjia had been captured, he must be more than lucky, and he would definitely not come out, so he thought that when he withdrew his army, he could take the opportunity to raid and intercept and kill.

But I never expected that the Song army not only did not evacuate in a hurry, but stayed for a long time to repair the imperial mausoleum, and Balman could only send troops to attack. But the battle was awkward at the beginning, and the Song army occupied the valley pass, where the terrain was narrow, which was not conducive to cavalry maneuvering, and there was only one way to force a frontal breakthrough. Bald Man didn't care too much about this, after all, the impression of the Song army's weak combat effectiveness had long been a consensus, and its lone army would definitely retreat quickly after being attacked.

Unexpectedly, they hit a hard nail in the first battle, and the Song army relied on sharp firearms to hold on, their firearms had a long range and great power, and their own side often suffered heavy casualties before they could rush into the range of bows and arrows, and they were unable to attack again. And due to the limitations of the terrain, they could not harass the enemy from the flanks and rear. After a hard day's fighting, a team of 1,000 people failed to break through the valley.

The next day, Bald Man ordered the cavalry to take turns to attack regardless of casualties, and finally forced the Song army to abandon its position and retreat to the valley in the evening. The Song army was not chaotic at all, but retreated in an extremely strict formation, covering the retreat alternately, and did not give him a chance to break the formation at all, and as a result, he calmly retreated to the next line of defense under the response of the follow-up troops, and did not even leave a single corpse for himself. But they suffered heavy losses, and almost entered the valley by stepping on the corpses of their own companions.

However, after breaking through the valley pass, the terrain suddenly opened up, and the bald man finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was finally able to give full play to his own advantages and attack the enemy from multiple directions, and the various armies with heavy casualties also aroused ferocity. On the third day, he swung his army again and attacked the Song army's defensive line, breaking into the enemy's position several times, but he only appeared in a brief panic and stabilized his position, and in hand-to-hand combat, he was also not afraid of death, fought hard, and even relied on the 'spear' to defeat his cavalry alive.

In the early morning of this day, Bald Man found that the Song army took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield and retreated to the next line of defense. Seeing that the founding force led by him was cowering, Balman was furious and beheaded two centurions in succession, finally forcing them to go into battle again.

Although at this time, you can already see the high treasure roof of the imperial tomb, look at the simple fortress where the war horse can jump up, and see the corpses of men and horses filling the trench in front of the enemy city, but it is difficult to advance under the more dense and fierce artillery fire of the Song army. And the morale of the various units was extremely low, and they would be terrified when they heard the sound of gunfire, and they had no fighting spirit at all. Looking at the soldiers who fled back as soon as the cannon sounded, Balman knew that his 10,000-strong team was disabled and had no strength to fight again, otherwise there was a possibility of mutiny.

Having suffered nearly half of the casualties, Balman ordered to stop the attack and hold on to the spot to prevent the enemy from 'breaking through', while on the other hand, he immediately asked for help from the Wanhu Mansion in Hangzhou, requesting that reinforcements be quickly dispatched and additional artillery troops should be sent in. It is requested to block the canal to prevent the enemy from invading Shaoxing and threatening Hangzhou in the north, and at the same time to levy adult males from the Wanhu Institute to replenish the losses and prepare for another battle......

When the two sides fought fiercely, the memorial ceremony was also held as scheduled. Zhao Yu wore a crown robe, spread out the ceremonial guard, accompanied by the chief priest Chen Zhongwei, accompanied by Xu Zongren and Ma Tingluan and a large and small officials who should be accompanied by Hu, and went to the north and south two tombs to hold the first offering, the second offering, and the three offerings according to the rituals, the sacrifices were made to the original pigs and sheep, plus one side of the drinking blessing meat, three animals and a pair, six bells of wine, six bowls of rice, four kinds of fruits, ten ends of paper silk, ten pieces of fire, one thousand side explosions, two pieces of ruler paper, a pair of four two candles, and one incense.

Chen Zhongwei read out the sacrificial text, and then incinerated it, and Zhao Yu led the important ministers to pay tribute, and finally brought Yang Lian Zhenjia and his party to the front of the hall to count their evils. Although he did not make it into air-dried chicken according to Zhao Yu's cruel words, he did not escape a knife, and all the hundred and ten people were beheaded in front of the mausoleum, and the heads of Yang Lian Zhenjia and Zong Yun were sacrificed on the altar in front of the mausoleum of Li Zong, and then the sacrifices were distributed to everyone......

The mausoleum ceremony is over, and everyone is not only melancholy, but also proud in their hearts. Although this memorial mausoleum cannot be said to be the most shabby and simple festival in the past dynasties, it is definitely the most adventurous one, rushing thousands of miles into the hinterland of the occupied area, and completing the festival surrounded by enemies. Unlike everyone's excitement, Zhao Yu understood that the festival was just the beginning, and his plan to 'hide from the sky and cross the sea' was just beginning.

Concealment is the first plan at the beginning of "Thirty-six Strategies", which means that by repeatedly making false actions, the enemy will regard false appearances as the essence of things, and then, using the opponent's false impression to misjudge us, and suddenly launch a new action, the opponent will fall into passivity. And the saying is: "Conspiracy cannot be done behind the backs." Stealing in the middle of the night, killing people in the middle of the night, and foolish deeds are not the work of strategists. Under the deep explanation, it is the real strategy, and it must not be as vulgar as "deceiving the superior and concealing the subordinates" or stealing at night and killing people in the dark.

Zhao Yu disagreed, he thought that both of them also contained secretive and deceptive properties, but their motives and nature were different, and their methods were different. First of all, they deliberately create false phenomena to mislead their opponents and cover up their true goals with false appearances; Secondly, to achieve one's true purpose through a series of actions is only to appear to be more profound.

In Zhao Yu's heart, any strategy and wisdom have two sides, including the nature of two opposing aspects, namely: yin and yang. And he prefers to define strategy as conspiracy, although people usually define this word as a derogatory term, in fact, the yin is hidden, and the yang is obvious. Therefore, strategy can be divided into conspiracy and conspiracy in terms of its form.

Conspiracy is not a pejorative term in the general sense, but in terms of the use of strategy, it refers to those schemes that are launched secretly and are not overt. The form of the conspiracy here does not correspond to its content, that is, the form of the conspiracy obscures the content. The so-called conspiracy only refers to a strategy in which the form and content are compatible. The purpose of this strategy is well known, but even if it is carried out in a dignified manner, it can still achieve the desired effect of the conspirators.

Zhao Hao's action to protect the tomb is clearly to protect the ancestral tomb, like an impulsive move, which also belongs to the category of 'yang', but it is just to cover up the real purpose, and it is not perceived by everyone. Now, although the thousands of households stationed in Hangzhou are attracted here and given them a heavy blow, they are far from reaching their own purpose. What distressed him was that the Yuan army blocked the access to the periphery of the mausoleum, making it difficult for news from the outside world to come in, and it was difficult to send messengers out, making it difficult for him to make further judgments about the situation.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Yu could not take action against the enemy forces besieging the mausoleum area, and could only confront the enemy by waiting for work. Although this may attract the enemy army here and reduce the pressure on the other departments, it will also deprive himself of mobility, put him in danger, and if he can't get it right, he will really let the enemy swallow his bait, which will be a big loss.

"Your Majesty, Master Zheng has arrived." Just when Zhao Yu was distressed, Wang De entered the hall and said.

"Invite him in!" Zhao Yu was surprised and full of surprise when he heard it, and suddenly stood up and said.

"Yes!" Wang De immediately trotted out to inform him that the little emperor actually used the word invitation today, which shows the urgency, how dare he slack off.

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Zheng Huchen arrived at the bottom of the stairs, he saw the little emperor standing at the door of the hall, and walked a few steps to pay homage.

"Hurry up, how did you get it like this?" Zhao Hao raised his hand to hold each other, but Zheng Huchen in front of him was ragged and dirty, and he couldn't tell it if he wasn't familiar with it.

"The subordinates are rude, and it is helpless to dress up like this, and the Yuan army around Shaoxing is now set up everywhere to check, so it has to be like this!" Zheng Huchen said with a wry smile.

"You shouldn't be in danger, if I lose you as a general, it will be equivalent to cutting off one of my arms!" Zhao Yu said with a straight face when he heard this.

"Your Majesty is not afraid of hardships and dangers, how dare your subordinates slack off. I haven't known any news from His Majesty for a long time, and my subordinates can't sleep well! Zheng Huchen saluted again.

"Wang De, you take Lord Zheng to wash up in advance, then find some clean clothes to change into, and get some food to fill your stomach." Zhao Yu sighed and raised his hand to let him get up, and then turned his face and instructed Wang Dedao.

After eating something, he came to see His Majesty again, and told the little emperor about the situation in the outside world. Now Tianxiang and the others are ready, but they can't get the next order and can only lie dormant for the time being; The army led by Lu Xiufu had also arrived as scheduled, waiting in the open sea, Dong Yicheng's troops and the Yuan Shui army had several skirmishes, so that the enemy mistakenly thought that it was a diversion action to cover Zhao Yu's mausoleum, and in general, the enemy army had not been able to discover our army's strategic intentions.

On the other hand, it had been confirmed that Kublai Khan was dead, and his sons were rushing to Helin in the starry night. Zhenjin was currently ill and imprisoned in the country, and he wanted to summon a group of cronies who stayed in Dadu to come and assist him in ascending the throne, but he was blocked by Queen Nanbi and was not allowed to leave Beijing. In Holin, many Mongolian kings have long been dissatisfied with the true gold favor letter Han Confucianism, and their attitude towards whether to support his succession is not clear, as if they are waiting for the kings to come.

In addition, Empress Nanbi, who remained in Dadu, was also very restless, and she summoned the ministers in the capital to exercise the right to supervise the country, but was resisted by the Han ministers, and opposed it in the name that the crown prince had been established and should succeed to the throne as soon as possible. Empress Nanbi immediately began to suppress Hanchen, adjusted the structure of the courtiers, and promoted a group of close Mongols and Semu people to support his prison state.

Now Zhenjin is in Helin, but there are no cronies around him, which makes it difficult to scream alone; The general vassals and cronies of Dadu were leaderless, and they were suppressed by Empress Nanbi and a group of Mongols, so they could not go to Helin Shi to help, and it was difficult to control the situation in the court. There are all kinds of signs that the internal turmoil in Mongolia has arisen, and the forces of all parties are ready to move, and it is really difficult to say whether Zhenjin can successfully inherit the throne......
