Outside Longxi City, there are crowds of people, colorful flags are displayed, loess mat road, Qingshui clean street, hundreds of people on the side of the road are eating pot pulp, cheering and shouting, crowded so that the officials who maintain order are sweating profusely, hoarse, and crying bitterly.

On this day, most of the entire military and civilians in southern Fujian were concentrated here, with only one purpose - to comfort the king and see the demeanor of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Thirty miles away from the city gate, Wen Tianxiang, dressed in purple court clothes, brought Chen Zhi, Mrs. Xu, Chen Hangyan, Huang Hua and many other leaders of the Han She army, as well as the surrendered Zhangzhou guards and a cadre of the state, respectfully saluted Zhao Lie, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Chen Wen Tianxiang, see Your Majesty."

"I'll wait to see Your Majesty."

Zhao Lie smiled, raised his hand and said, "Zhu Qing is exempt from courtesy, and the prime minister is close to the front." ”

If Zhao Hunt had relied on his previous temperament, he would have been helped up a long time ago and mingled with the generals. It's just that now he is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven must have the demeanor of the Son of Heaven, and every move will affect the world.

The throne of the emperor is good, but it also means sacrificing something, and what you gain has to lose, as has always been.

Wen Tianxiang approached the imperial chariot and accompanied him, and the two of them laughed and talked like close friends, which made the generals and ministers who saw this scene happy. Since ancient times, the suitability of monarchs and ministers often means the revitalization of the dynasty and the arrival of prosperity.

Under Longxi City, Zhao Lie was welcomed by the most solemn scene since he ascended the throne. The cheers and enthusiasm of the people of southern Fujian are hotter than the sun in June and more turbulent than the huge waves of the East China Sea.

Until entering the city and stationing in the temporarily rebuilt palace, you can faintly hear the cheers of the soldiers and civilians outside the palace.

Zhao Lie exhaled lightly and said with a smile: "The military and civilians of southern Fujian are really enthusiastic. ”

Mrs. Xu said: "Because of the bitterness of the military and civilians in southern Fujian, I have been looking forward to the king day and night, and now I have to taste what I want, like a long drought and a rainstorm, and I have to see the face of the sky, so I am so happy......"

Zhao Lie nodded with a smile, knowing that although this Mrs. Xu was the leader of the She army, she was born in a scholarly family, and her father Chen Wenlong was an official who worshiped Fujian and Guang to recruit envoys and participate in political affairs, so he talked well.

Chen Hangyan grinned even more: "So that Your Majesty knows that from tonight, inside and outside the city, all the mountains and villages, will dance the fire dragon for three days in a row, this is our She people's celebration ceremony." ”

Zhao Lie was full of interest: "In this way, you have to watch it carefully." ”

Chen Zhi stepped forward to report: "As soon as the ministers entered Longxi, His Majesty's entry into Fujian has arrived, and in a hurry, he can only rebuild the mansion of a wealthy merchant into a palace. It is the fault of the ministers to make His Majesty's dragon body bend to this burrow......"

Zhao Lie waved his hand: "Chen Qing doesn't have to blame himself, this place is already very good—at least it's much better than the military tent I lived in all the way north." ”

Wen Tianxiang, Mrs. Xu and others were all very impressed. They have all heard about the battle situation of this new official's family all the way north, and it is really sweeping all the way, and the army is changing. What's even more rare is that the simplicity of eating and living with all the soldiers and sleeping in the imperial tent at night is that I can't believe that it is an emperor's station.

Use soldiers like gods, corporal Lixian, and share weal and woe...... The winner of the Great Song Dynasty is like this, it is difficult to think about it!

Chen Zhi played again: "The ministers have selected a good place in Liangshan, near the southeast coast of Zhangpu, to build a palace for His Majesty, and at most three months, it can be basically completed......"

Traditionally, whether the emperor patrols or personally conquests, his palace is usually selected on a mountain with pleasant scenery not far from the state capital. This has two advantages, one is that it has a favorable landscape and is easy to create. Second, it is more secure in terms of safety than in the city with a mixed flow of people.

Zhao Lie also knew this, but he still vetoed it very simply: "Forget about Liangshan, if you want to choose a location, choose Tonggu Mountain." ”

As soon as Zhao Lie's words came out, in addition to the generals of the Longque Army who accompanied him all the way to the north, all the generals and ministers of southern Fujian were shocked: "Your Majesty will never do it!" ”

Liangshan is located between Zhangpu and Chaozhou, only 100 miles away from Longxi, which is a full rear area and extremely safe. Closer to the sea, once something happens, the land route is blocked, and you can sail out to sea at any time, so that the Yuan people can helpless. And Tonggu Mountain...... That's the front line on the border with the Yuan army!

The generals were trying to persuade them, and suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the house, and after a while, a long report came: "Da Gengling urgent report——"

Da Gengling?! Zhao Lie's heart jumped suddenly.

In the stunned gaze of the generals, a report of a 400-mile expedited pond with two feathers was sent to the front of the imperial case.

Zhao Lie took it apart and took a look, and his eyes shot violently: "Da Gengling police post emergency, two Mengyuan cavalry armies of no less than 10,000 horsemen, along Zhangshui and Taoshui, bypassed Da Gengling, raided Shaozhou and Yingde Mansion, and went down in a few days, the Yuan army abandoned the city, and 10,000 horsemen ran south, and the target was very likely to be Guangzhou City...... It is reported that the main generals who commanded the two Yuan army iron cavalry, Li Heng and Wanzhi. ”

All the generals and ministers have lost their color, this good situation of the Northern Expedition has just opened, and there is such a big fistula in the rear...... For a while, my heart was pressed with a heavy lead cloud.

Zhang Shijie clapped his chair armrest and sighed: "Boyan is really this trick again." The consistent trick of the Mongolian people is to take advantage of the superiority of cavalry to carry out a great detour, cut off our grain routes, cut off our rear routes, disrupt our army's morale, and disturb our strategy...... Your Majesty, you must not ignore it. ”

Not to mention that Zhang Shijie himself is good at commanding cavalry and is well versed in Mengyuan's tactics, even Zhao Lie, who doesn't know much about cavalry tactics, understands that this is a Mongolian tactic that has been tried and tested since the time of Genghis Khan. Even Kublai Khan's strategy of defeating the Southern Song Dynasty was to bypass Jingchuan and make a detour from Dali - Meng Yuan had already raised the cavalry detour tactics to a strategic height.

Although this trick played by Boyan is clever, in the dozens of military discussions of the Northern Expedition of the Dragon Bird Army, it is not that no one thought that at least when attacking Jieyang, Zhang Shijie had raised this possibility. It also attracted the attention of Zhao Lie, and sent a team of sharp whistles to Nanxiong Prefecture, which was guarding Da Gengling, and this time the emergency report was also sent by the sharp whistle. In addition, the defenders of Nanxiong Prefecture were instructed to strengthen their vigilance, and Wen Tianxiang was instructed to urgently send an army of no less than 5,000 people to Nanxiong Prefecture.

At the moment, it seems that it is still a step slower, and this support army is afraid that before it reaches Nanxiong Prefecture, Meng Yuan's iron cavalry will roar past. The mobility of the cavalry was too strong, and Boyan was willing to pay the capital, so he sent tens of thousands of cavalry at once, and with the weak forces of the newly recovered Quang Nam prefectures, they couldn't stop it at all. To put it mildly, I can't even drag it out.

Jiang Fenglie also became anxious: "Your Majesty, once Guangzhou is lost, our army's land grain route will be cut off, and this powerful Yuan army's iron cavalry will roll back to the north and attack the cities of Guangnan Zhuzhou that we have just recovered. With the small forces we left in these cities, we will not be able to resist it. Maybe it won't be long before this Mengyuan Iron Cavalry will come from behind us...... At that time, our army will be exposed to the enemy on its back and will be in a critical situation. Your Majesty, please be clear! ”

Shi Yang patted the case and said: "Cavalry, cavalry - he Mengyuan has the advantage of cavalry, and we also have the advantage of infantry, put on a posture to fight, who is afraid of whom!" Your Majesty, fight! ”

"Yes, let's fight!"

"Before the cavalry of the Yuan army has broken through Guangzhou, let's strike first. Let's fight! ”

One after another, scorching eyes focused on Zhao Lie, the Great Song Emperor, the commander of the Song Army, and the soul of the Dragon Bird Army.

"Then fight!" Zhao Lie slapped the Tang Bao Dynasty Imperial Case hard, and angrily fought the bull, "From now on, move to Tonggu Mountain." ”
