He Jianjun's face changed.

In a remote and barren place like Guangnan, he can turn a blind eye to whatever the local state government and officials want, even if Li Yue's army is approaching the city of Yongzhou, the defenders do not resist and retreat all the way to the city of Yongzhou, he can also care.

But if he wants to put the responsibility for the siege of Yongzhou and the damage of the state and county on the head of the Xuanwei Army and the Youyi Army, he can't agree.

So he immediately counterattacked: "Lord Xu, the governor of Yongzhou, Guangnan Bazhou, with a strength of fifty or sixty thousand, retreated all the way from Yulin to Yongzhou, how many battles did you fight with the enemy, and how many casualties?" The enemy army seems to be hundreds of thousands, and there are no more than 40,000 people who really have the strength to fight, and the rest are all indiscriminate, you have been in Quang Nam for a long time, you won't be clear, why do you have an army of 50,000, don't take a battle, and retreat all the way? I will present this matter to the court truthfully. ”

After a pause, he looked around to see the colors of the crowd, and then continued: "Lord Xu said that the Xuanwei Army and the Youyi Army were not satisfied with the dispatch and did not come to the Yongzhou camp to report, so they attacked privately and disrupted the deployment. I would like to ask Lord Xu, what is your deployment? Hide in Yongzhou City and wait for the enemy army to retreat by itself? Do you know how long Li Yue people have been preparing for this battle? Ten years, a whole decade! Lord Xu is in charge of the eight prefectures of Guangnan, and his jurisdiction borders Li Yue, so he will not even be able to detect this bit of hostility. In these years, Li Yue people raised hundreds of thousands of loads of grain, piled up in Liangshan, and then transferred to Yulin, along the Zuojiang River to the enemy's front line by boat, Xu Daren retreated to Yongzhou, just as the enemy wanted. Lord Xu said that the Xuanwei Army and the Youyi Army disobeyed the dispatch and disrupted your deployment, did you want them to be captured by the enemy along with the soldiers and horses of your Governor's Mansion? ”

was counterattacked in person, Lord Xu's face suddenly turned red, and he opened his mouth to defend the counterattack, but he Jianjun continued: "Lord Xu said that the Xuanwei Army and the You Yi Army attacked privately, and I don't agree with this statement. The imperial court sent the elite Youyi army and the Xuanwei army of the palace front division to the south, not to fill up the number in Yongzhou and confront each other indefinitely, but to repel the enemy army as soon as possible and end the war in Guangnan. You have also said that the Li Yue people have accumulated hundreds of thousands of loads of grain, if they continue to transport them from Liangshan to Yulin, and then transport them to the vicinity of Yongzhou along the river, hundreds of thousands of enemy troops will not worry about eating and drinking, will they abandon Yongzhou City? Maybe Yongzhou City has been broken through at this moment, and in the fate of Xia and you, you will either be captured and killed, or you will flee for your life.

If it weren't for the Xuanwei army that burned hundreds of thousands of loads of grain to the enemy in the river, this batch of grain would be enough to support them to besiege Yongzhou City for half a year, maybe in less than half a year, Yongzhou City would be broken, and when they occupied Yongzhou, the grain ship supply went down the river and directly to the city, and the land of several states east of Yongzhou would be under the threat of Li Yue, and it would not only be Yongzhou that would be lost at that time. Fortunately, the Xuanwei army and the Youyi army ignored the difficult and dangerous road, passed through the west of Qinzhou, crossed the lofty mountains, and attacked Yulin, Liangshan and other places.

It is that the enemy army is cut off from the grain and grass warehouse and retreats, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Governor's Mansion of Lord Xu also opened the city gate after three days, and followed the enemy army fifty miles away, just like this, the enemy army did not feel any threat and pressure, so that after hundreds of thousands of enemy troops arrived near Yulin, they could actually settle down in peace, and instead besieged the Youyi Army and Xuanwei Army who were sticking to Yulin and Liangshan. It's really ridiculous, can hundreds of thousands of enemy troops take Yulin, but can't they take Liangshan?

But fortunately, they really didn't take it down, and they suffered a big defeat, the commander died outside the city of Liangshan, the deputy marshal was seriously injured, the army was disheartened, and the army was defeated, so he agreed to exchange the two cities, the governor's office knew that the enemy army had suffered a defeat in Liangshan, they could not take Liangshan, and they were about to evacuate, and they signed an agreement to change the city, and the enemy army hurriedly left Yulin after the agreement was signed, passed around Liangshan City, and went straight south, day and night, and did not look back. You let the Xuanwei army withdraw from Liangshan, I'm afraid there is not a single enemy army in Liangshan City at this moment.

As far as I know, when the Xuanwei army retreated, it climbed over the mountains and primeval jungles, and could only carry half a month's worth of food needed for the return march, and the rest, including more than 20,000 Liangshan people, were left intact in Liangshan City, and they wanted food to find the army to take over Liangshan City. In addition, You Yijun also returned to Yongzhou immediately, whether there is food or not, we will see together when the time comes. I don't know if Lord Xu is satisfied with this answer? If you still have any questions, don't hide them in your heart, what do you think, I don't know, how do you do it, I can see it clearly. ”

He Jianjun's words were blunt and fearless, and he embarrassed the adults of the Governor's Mansion, and Lord Xu, who originally wanted to argue a few words, was completely dumbfounded, and simply shut up and lowered his eyebrows.

Others were also silent, silent, neither fighting back nor questioning.

He Jianjun is an official of the Privy Council, the Privy Council is in charge of the world's military horses, troop transfer, cantonment, military training, military resources and ordnance supply, etc., how can there be anything they don't know, and now it is the imperial court sent here to resist Li Yueren's prison army, supervising all the soldiers and horses of the Yongzhou Governor's Office, plus the Xuanwei Army and the Youyi Army that sent south to Guangnan to support, these forbidden troops sent south without his consent, where is the Yongzhou Governor's Mansion commanding.

Lord Xu attacked the You Yijun and the Xuanwei Army, but he wanted to shirk his responsibility, complain about his grievances, and invite credit by the way, no matter what, in the end, Li Yueren still withdrew from the army, and signed a ten-year peace agreement, there was hard work, and there was merit, although the Yongzhou Governor's Office was defeated all the way, but in the end it still won.

Appeasement makes Lord Li well-informed, where do you not know what is in it, a little thought, it is transparent inside and out, but the Yongzhou Governor's Office has jurisdiction over the eight prefectures of Guangnan, and Lord Xu is his subordinate, so it is not easy to blame too much, after all, it is not easy to be an official in Guangnan.

After a moment of silence in the council hall, Master Li smiled and said, "Lord Xu and He Jianjun are both officials of the imperial court, no matter what they do, it is for the stability of Guangnan, and there is nothing wrong with it. To the west of Yongzhou, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is difficult for the army to advance westward to supply, retreat to Yongzhou, and confront Li Yue with the rich state capitals such as Xunzhou and Yizhou, which can quickly stabilize the war situation, Li Yue's army is difficult to supply, and when more Song reinforcements come, the enemy will retreat, but the time may be too long, and the labor force will move the crowd, and the cost is too great, but it is also a strategy to retreat from the enemy. The Xuanwei Army and the Youyi Army made surprise troops, cut off the enemy's food and grass supply, and forced the enemy to retreat, although it was too risky, but it was indeed a blind medicine, which made the enemy not dare to move lightly in a short period of time, and after a struggle, quickly retreated. This time, Li Yue's enemy army withdrew from Guangnan, and the soldiers and horses of the Yongzhou Governor's Office, the Xuanwei Army, and the Youyi Army were all meritorious people, so you should not compete against each other. Wait for the armies from all walks of life to return to Yongzhou and summarize the results of the battle, and then submit a detailed battle report to the imperial court. ”

Lord Xu saw Lord Li come out to play a round, and hurriedly responded: "What Lord Li said is that they are all for the purpose of repelling the enemy army, although the methods and methods are different, but they are the same way, everyone works together to hold Yongzhou, and also repel hundreds of thousands of Li Yue's enemy army, the results are still very large, the Xuanwei army alone killed more than 30,000 enemies, it is really amazing, and the governor's mansion is beyond the reach of the dust." ”

Now that Lord Xu had relented, He Jianjun stopped fighting back, but he didn't say anything, just nodded slightly to Lord Li.

Others echoed after Lord Xu, and tried their best to praise and compliment the elite of the imperial forbidden army such as Xuanwei Army and You Yijun, and they were about to praise them to the sky, and even touted He Jianjun and the Privy Council to the point of no return, saying that their wise and brilliant planning and dispatch were as divine as Zhuge Kongming, and they were a little embarrassed to hear He Jianjun.

The battle between the Yongzhou Governor's Mansion and the Xuanwei Army and the Youyi Army finally ended in laughter.

Next, on how to garrison the border, how to pacify the displaced people, and how to restore the production and life of Baixin, who was affected by the military disaster, Lord Li and Lord Xu, as well as a number of officials and generals of the Governor's Office, discussed and deployed.

The latter things have little to do with He Jianjun, so he no longer expressed any opinions, kept silent, and listened to them discuss and prevaricate, it was related to the garrison, he just looked at it in his eyes and let them deal with it, after all, Guangnan is a wild land, except for Li Yuehui to harass, basically no one will come to patronize, and no one else cares, how to garrison is not important.

After an hour or two, the deliberations were finally completed, and there was a pacification envoy Li there, and when the war ended, all the officials had to eat and drink, and it happened that the New Year was approaching, so they had to celebrate in a big way.

A few days later, the army returned to Yongzhou and temporarily camped near the city of Yongzhou, awaiting orders to return to the northern garrison.

After a discussion by Lord Li, Lord Xu and He Jianjun, the final detailed battle report was determined, and the three parties jointly signed it, and then hurriedly sent it to Lin'an to report the good news to the imperial court.

After all the things were done, the pacification made Lord Li set off immediately, and his car quickly left Yongzhou under the escort of the pro-army, and returned north to Jingjiang Mansion, where he was going home for the New Year and reunited with his family.

Yongzhou city is wantonly arranged, the governor's office is busy in full swing, this year they are going to have a good year, repelled Li Yue's enemy army attack, if there is no accident, many states and counties can be tax-free for several years, but also get the imperial court relief, Yongzhou city is not broken, this battle is definitely not a loss.

The Xuanwei army in Qinzhou and the guerrilla army in Yongzhou had a hard time at the border, but when they returned to the city, they lacked food and drink, and became orphans wandering abroad.

They are all waiting for orders, waiting for the court to order them to be teachers.
