Chapter 206: Heavy losses
Lord Luo also said: "Weichen and Hu Zhuangyuan have the same meaning, Emperor Lizong should not believe this thing that I have not seen with my own eyes, back then, did I suffer a lot of losses?"
Immediately there were ministers who began to criticize.
"You.... You two adults are really bold, you dare to question the emperor and the uncle at this moment, I say, are you guilty?"
"That's it, Uncle Guo led a million lions to fight against the Jin people at the border, how hard it was, where the temperature was low and very cold, I said two adults, you don't have the slightest touch in your hearts?"
Hu Shanhai ignored this person and continued: "Your Majesty, the meaning of Weichen and Lord Luo is already obvious, that is, I hope to continue to send people to assist Uncle Guo and Prime Minister Liu, after all"
"After all, what?" Emperor Lizong glared at him, "Hu Zhuangyuan, you are also a person who reads the books of sages, I really sent you, what will Jia Cai and Prime Minister Liu think?" Don't you think I don't believe them?"
"At the same time, Jia Cai's strength in leading troops is stronger than your Hu Zhuangyuan, even if you really go at that time, what's the use? It's just an extra pair of chopsticks, what do you think?"
"The emperor is wise, this Hu Zhuangyuan, he doesn't know how to suspect Uncle Guo and Prime Minister Liu, he really doesn't understand the rules, the emperor should treat this person's crimes."
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, since Hu Zhuangyuan became the champion, he has not made any contributions, how can he compare with Uncle Guo and Prime Minister Liu?"
Song Lizong nodded one after another when he heard this, Jia Rudao was already the best candidate in his heart, but he was a genius with troops, how could he not believe the other party?
"Hu Zhuangyuan, and Lord Luo, don't mention it to the two of you today, I will follow the content of the excerpt and once again increase the number of troops to Jia Cai, so as to increase the attack on the Mongolian army."
"Also, from today onwards, I don't want to hear any rumors about these two people, especially Hu Zhuangyuan and Lord Luo, you two should remember that if you are not willing to be an official, I can approve you to return to your hometown in advance."
The two of them didn't say a word, they had already been disappointed in Da Song, was it too late? The Mongolian army has been expanding its army over the years, and the Great Song Dynasty has been delayed for so many years, I'm afraid it's not an opponent!
This morning broke up unhappily, and every time they came with a heavy heart, each time they were very disappointed.
The two walked outside the palace, their faces were bitter and gloomy, and they had a thousand words to say in their hearts, but they couldn't say it.
"Lord Luo, the matter has come to this, you and I are no longer able to return to the sky, this Great Song Dynasty, at present, General Yue Fei is still alive, it is estimated that it will be difficult to save, the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to be saved for a long time, it will not be for a long time."
Lord Luo sighed: "I have been an official for so many years, I have never seen such a bold corrupt official, they are not just as simple as corruption, but they are still betraying the Great Song Dynasty and the whole country, how can I tolerate them?"
Lord Luo sighed: "It's a pity, Hu Zhuangyuan, you and I are powerless to change this status quo, let's go, after today, the old man will leave this officialdom, and from now on I will tell future generations never to be officials."
As they walked down the street in front of them, a group of men in official uniforms approached, carrying sticks in their hands, and it was clear that they were already waiting there.
One of them said, "Two adults, are you planning to leave?" What the two of you said in the early dynasty today is useless to belittle Uncle Guo and Prime Minister Liu. ”
Hu Shanhai said: "What do you want?" We are officials in the court, and if you dare to touch us, you are against the sky. ”
"It's the other way around? I don't dare to go against the sky, it's just that I can't stand what you have done, and I don't mind asking for justice for Uncle Guo and Prime Minister Liu today. ”
More than a dozen officers and soldiers rushed out, and the iron rods in their hands continued to violently slap them, and the two of them fell to the ground, lifeless, and had already died in Huangquan.
The group was so satisfied that they didn't even bother to take the corpse away, and it was exposed to the public.
At the border, Jia Rudao and Prime Minister Liu were drinking wine and eating meat in the tent, it was still winter, and the ice on the river surface had condensed again after it was broken, but they didn't dare to go this time.
At the same time, the two also knew that Mongolia also did not dare to cross the river, unless it was the beginning of spring next year, otherwise they could fall into the water and die cold.
Kublai Khan's men continued to build warships, several in a day, and each thin could accommodate thousands of people, which was very fast.
Finally, half a month has passed, dozens of warships have been built, and Emperor Lizong's additional troops for Jia Nidao have also arrived, adding up to more than one million people.
When night fell on this day, a team of the Mongol army walked across the river in the distance, and when they came to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, they removed the Song people who were patrolling and keeping vigil at night, and then these warships went down the river and transported tens of thousands of people to the opposite side.
The night was already deep, and the soldiers on the side of the Great Song Dynasty were already asleep, and at this moment the whole snoring shook the sky, and Kublai Khan said to his subordinates: "Send the order, we will set fire to all these tents, and attack with fire for all the remaining ones, so that our Mongolian casualties will be minimized."
Many people went out quietly, they lit torches, and almost at the same time they moved towards the tent, and soon a fire was raging.
Thousands of tents were set on fire, and the flames rose into the sky, burning everything.
Jia Rudao and the others were still in a sweet dream, and they didn't know what the situation would be at the moment, and when he found out, the fire was about to burn to his head.
There was a lot of screaming on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, and the tents were all set on fire, and they couldn't get out at all, so they had to watch the fire come to their faces.
Many of the generals were burned to death, miserable, they did not expect that the Mongol army was very despicable, and today the Great Song Dynasty suffered a big loss.
Jia Yidao and Prime Minister Liu finally escaped from the tent, and took advantage of the chaos to sneak away.
Here, thousands of tents have been burned down, countless dead and wounded, and more than a million people have died so tragically, which is very shocking.
When Kublai Khan looked at this scene, he was very excited, and the fire burned for a long time, until the sky was bright, and then it stopped, and the smoke was still filling, and the sky was not only black smoke rising to the sky, but also the smell of defeat.
Jia Rudao and the two ran for several miles, and then they came to a village, they sat on the ground and gasped, both of them knew that it was over, everything was over.
Two million people, all killed in less than ten days, the two lost the battle, even if he is the uncle of the country, he can't save his life at the moment, this is not only incompetent, but also a lack of experience in combat.
Prime Minister Liu said: "Uncle Guo, the two of us can be said to have committed a capital crime, two million people, the emperor knows about it, how can it be good for us at this moment?"
"This is two million soldiers, not a single soldier of the other side has been killed, we will be wiped out like this, Uncle Guo, in my opinion, we have to defect to Mongolia, otherwise everything will be over."
Jia seemed to be angry, took out the dagger from his arms, and stabbed Prime Minister Liu mercilessly, and said in his mouth: "I'm sorry Prime Minister Liu, the defeat of my Great Song Dynasty this time is too great, and there must be someone to blame for this matter."
Jia Ru said,... "He fell to the ground, bleeding profusely in his chest."
"Hehe, Prime Minister Liu, Uncle Guo said that you betrayed the Great Song Dynasty and annihilated all the soldiers of our army, how about this attention? Otherwise, I can't explain where my brother-in-law is, and there is a queen mother. ”
Prime Minister Liu is already breathing out more and inhaling less at the moment, and it is obvious that he can't hold on for long.
"Jia Rudao, you ...... You are a faint official, I am a big Song.., I am a big Song Chi.... Sooner or later, I'm going to die in your hands, Jia Rudao ,...."
"Jia Ye, what's wrong with me? Prime Minister Liu, Jia Ye, I am a faint official, could it be that you are a clean official? Hehe, you can really do it, today, just take your life to whitewash Jia Ye and me!
As he spoke, he stabbed Prime Minister Liu several times one after another, and the knife was fatal and hit the vital point.
Prime Minister Liu had already entered the Yellow Spring, and he was already dying, Jia Rudao looked at him for a while, then took off his official uniform and ran slowly to Lin'an.
On the side of the Mongolian army, Kublai Khan said loudly, "Come on, a large-scale search for Ben Shuai, we must find this Jia Nidao and the prime minister, this is an official of the Great Song Dynasty, why should I let it go like this?" Even if you can't find it, you should find its body.
"It's handsome."
"At the same time, we must borrow warships, bring all our warriors, and then, march forward at a speed of thirty miles a day, and strive to occupy their Xiangyang as soon as possible."
"It's handsome."
Kublai Khan looked at the mountains and rivers of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the area south of the Yangtze River, which made him like it very much, he dreamed of occupying this place, and he wanted to destroy the Great Song Dynasty by all means.
Half a month later, Jia Rudao had entered the Lin'an Xuande Hall at this moment, he had a handful of snot and tears, his body was very embarrassed, and the ministers who looked at it were sad for a while.
On the stage, Song Lizong said: "Jia Cai, you are not fighting against Mongolia at the border, why did you run back alone?" Why is that?"
Jia Rudao knelt down and said: "The emperor is finished, everything is finished, this Prime Minister Liu betrayed us and defected to Mongolia overnight, resulting in a sneak attack by Kublai Khan, all the two million soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty were killed, and at the same time we lost the hinterland."
"What?"
Song Lizong fell from the dragon chair to the ground, and a eunuch immediately helped him up. "All two million soldiers were killed? Why is that?"
Song Lizong was very sad, his heart ached, this is two million soldiers, why is it such an ending? Why is that?
This Prime Minister Liu, where did he feel sorry for him? Why is it so ruthless? Two million people who defected to Mongolia and died to us, how many people are there in the entire Great Song military camp, and how many times can they withstand this?
Among the ministers below, a huge wave was also set off, and two million people died in battle, why was it so miserable? How exactly is this battle going on?
They have many question marks ringing in their minds, and this Jia seems to have caused a big trouble.
