Chapter 347: Be Prepared
Fan Yongji said to Jia Rudao, worried: "To the north of Henan, it is the territory of Liu Heima and Za Zhu'er, these two people have an old relationship with me, and they were both officials in the Jin State back then, so they would not have attacked the place I was guarding with all their might, but when Kublai Khan came, it was different." ”
"The Mongols have no friendship with me, on the contrary, they hate me like bones, Kublai Khan's Prime Minister Mo Nan, sooner or later, in order to retaliate against me, he will raise a large army to attack me, I am dependent on my lord's lips and teeth, and I am under the command of my lord, please prepare for the accident as soon as possible."
After listening to him, Jia Rudao smiled, and said with good words: "Lord Fan is panicking, since I dare to contain you, there is naturally a perfect plan to ensure the safety of Henan." ”
He cocked his fingers and walked one by one.
"The Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Captives, originally made an alliance with friends, when the two countries met, together to attack the Jin State, after the completion of the Mongolian State to get the Monan grassland and Longxi area, and the Great Song Dynasty to recover the lost territory, the recovery of the two emperors lost a large area of land when the two emperors hunted in the north, this is good, there are documents to prove it."
"Mongolia has wolf ambitions, and after destroying Jin, they rebelled, made excuses to attack the Great Song Dynasty, and took away a lot of land from our dynasty, which is well known to these people and does not need to be said. In short, Mongolia has no credibility and is spurned by others. ”
"One of them is also, the unrighteous and the helpless get a lot of help, Mongolia has no hearts, and sooner or later it will destroy itself!"
"Second, in the area of Jinghu, there are successive envoys of the Great Song Dynasty who have been operating for many years, solid as gold, millions of soldiers, towering cities everywhere, dense passes, let him thousands of troops come, and the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth."
"Third, from Sichuan to Lianghuai, my Great Song Dynasty along the river to lay down thousands of generals, 10,000 warships, once the Mongolian country is in turmoil, you can give an order, sail across the river, although the Mongols are strong, but defeated in few people, such a long front, he can meet everywhere? I have been preparing for war for many years in the Great Song Dynasty, and the steel knife in the soldier's sheath is hungry and unbearable, and the morale is like a beast out of the cage, and Mongolia is expected to be difficult to resist, not to mention that he is overstretched, even if the Mongols have so many troops and can save the danger everywhere, it will be uncomfortable enough to beat him with thousands of holes when the time comes. ”
"Fourth, Lord Fan, you have 40,000 soldiers under your command, enough to protect yourself, we have allocated so much money and food to you during this time, and we also have the meaning of asking you to strengthen the city defense and accumulate grain and grass, this has been told to you before, and there is no need to mention it at this moment."
Fan Yongji hurriedly said: "This young general keeps in mind that the city defense in the Junzhou area has been strengthened and has never been relaxed. ”
"That's fine." Jia Rudao nodded approvingly: "What are the advantages of the Mongols?" O cavalry! Coming and going like the wind, sweeping thousands of miles, we have suffered losses, right? If we suffer a loss and grow wise, we will not fight with him in the field, but will go the opposite way, and we will stick to it city by city! ”
"The city is high and strong, the cavalry is good at running, and the Mongols are good at riding and shooting, this is true, but no matter how powerful they are, they can't rush into the city on horseback! As long as the walls are cleared and the people are collected into the city, the Mongol army cannot find the people strong, and they can't grab food and grass, what will they eat and drink? What else do they fight without eating or drinking? ”
"Therefore, with the above four points, as long as we have built the city and accumulated grain, and fortified the city, I can assert that the Mongols will not have the slightest gain when they go south."
"On the contrary, when they have no city to rely on, no land to rely on, and they are exhausted and come home, every city along the way is an obstacle in their way to retreat, and we can gather troops to pursue and beat the water dogs!"
"In short, Master Fan, our strategy is foolproof, and you can rest assured."
Jia Rudao said a lot of majestic words in one breath, saying that he himself was infected, waving his robe and sleeves, and he was full of spirit.
Fan Yongji was dumbfounded when he heard it, and there were words of suffering.
The rhetoric sounded good, but a human like Fan Yongji snickered in his heart.
Isn't this Zhao Kuo? Talking on paper is useless.
These four points seem to be reasonable, but the slightest refutation is absurd.
Let's talk about the first article first, what is the unrighteous and the unrighteous and the righteous are more helpful, the Mongols fought in the east and the west, and slaughtered the unreasonable, when did they talk about morality? After so many years, I haven't seen God accept him, will God open his eyes in the future? The Mongols rely on strength, forcing others to fight with him, the strong win the world, and they all talk about morality, so what a fart? Everyone sat together and debated, and the ability to spit won the world.
Second, Jinghu is firm, but it is not tested firmly, Meng Heng took back Xiangyang after many years of operation, during which the Mongols were mostly harassed in the Sichuan Lianghuai area, Jinghu front has not been tested by the war, whether it is really foolproof, and no one can guarantee.
What's more, along the way of the war, there are no generals who dare to beat their chests and win the battle, if there is, they are liars.
And the third is a joke, why did the Great Song Dynasty fortify along the river? Isn't it just that the Mongols are afraid of fighting over, how did this defensive arrangement become a war readiness ready to fight back at any time? If so, why not fight now?
In order to seek merit, Fan Yongji repeatedly suggested taking advantage of the opportunity of Mongolia's internal strife and no time to look eastward, to attack the Han in Monan, appease the Han people everywhere, and block the Mongols in Guanxi. However, Jia Yidao and Song Ting delayed in every way, saying that they were not well prepared and had insufficient money and food, and they refused to agree.
This is enough to prove that the high-level officials of the Song Dynasty will not take the initiative to start a war, and if Mongolia goes south, Junzhou Henan, which is prominent outside the Yangtze River defense line of the Song Dynasty, must be the first battlefield, and there will be no support and containment in other directions.
As for the fourth bastard, listening to this meaning, isn't it just for me to sweep the snow in front of the door and ask for more blessings?
Fortified and cleared, stubbornly waiting for help? Is this what people say?
Mongolia went south, destroyed the Jin Kingdom, and captured how many fortified cities, did Jia Yidao selectively forget? Mongolia destroyed Jin, the Jin people dug a huge trench outside Caizhou City, built an unprecedented wall, and piled up corn in the city, and it couldn't be eaten for ten years, what was the result? The city was broken in three days.
Master Jia, how many days do you want me to stay?
Fan Yongji wanted to ask this sentence, but he didn't ask it in the end, this was too offensive, and he would have to look up to Jia Yidao to take care of him in the future, Fan Yongji didn't dare to ask.
He thought about it for a moment, and said it in a different way.
"My lord, what you said is indeed a good policy, and the young general has benefited a lot from it." Fan Yongji patted his ass first and wore a high hat: "But what the young general is worried about is that the city of Junzhou is narrow and cannot accommodate many people near the left, and it is a little difficult to defend it." ”
"It doesn't matter." Jia Rudao waved his hand: "You immediately move the people of Henan to the south, leaving the young and strong in Junzhou, and the rest of the old and weak have moved to Xiangfan, which is big enough to settle down." ”
“…… Migration? Fan Yongji was once again shocked and scorched, and his eyes widened and said, "More than 200,000 people, all migrating?" ”
"All moved." Jia Rudao said firmly: "Since Henan is not a good place to guard, the people can't be left to the north to loot, they are robbed, it is nothing more than a slave, it is better to move over, my Song people can live a good life, they must be willing." ”
"Leaving the young and strong can help you defend the city, and second, it can be used as a reserve source to replenish your army."
"Hmph, 100,000 young men and 100,000 soldiers, I want to see how the Mongols can break it if they really want to come!"
