Chapter 251: The Battle of Red and Black

At the beginning of May, the first dynasty will become a big assassination, the prince of Zhenjin and Ahma were killed at the same time, and the murderer fled without a trace, this shocking case set off a storm for the entire Dayuan Dynasty.

How angry was Kublai Khan? It can be seen from the fact that he executed a total of 112 princes and honor guards on the spot, and 37 palace guards present at that time. And this was only the beginning of the slaughter.

On that day, all the guide palace attendants, all the carriages and horses, the guards, and the drivers, whether their masters were the kings or the ministers of the first rank, were all useless, and they were tortured in prison at one time.

The breakthrough in the case was first opened from the door of the left prison named Lu Jiucheng. According to Lu Jiucheng's confession, after the assassination occurred, he had no intention of glancing at it, and saw several black shadows rolling out from under the car of Zhang Hongzhong in Zuo Shilang and Zhang Hui in Zhongshu, and he was stunned for a while. After that, the scene was chaotic, and the shadows were lost.

As soon as Lu Jiucheng's confession came out, Zhang Hongzhong in Zuo Shilang and Zhang Hui in Zhongshu were suddenly unlucky. Both were arrested and imprisoned at the same time, tortured and plundered. The mansions of the two were also raided, and more than 400 people in the mansion were all taken to prison.

After that, the bodies of You Xuanfu and forty-five Zuo Wei were found, which caused another shock. Shun Teng touched the melon, and successively brought out the Yidu Qianhu Wang, the Privy Council commander Yan Yi and others. At the same time, Zhang Yi, the privy deputy envoy who authorized the dispatch of troops, was also implicated and imprisoned.

Next, the already bloody situation was smashed high by a boulder - Governor Sango hanged himself at home.

Since then, the case has become more and more involved. Kublai Khan, who was hit one by one, almost lost his mind, and almost every day on the execution ground, criminals were killed and chopped into meat sauce. The whole city was plunged into a bloody storm.

……

The turbulent ripples in Dadu will inevitably spread to the Marshal Mansion of Zhengnandu in Ganzhou, thousands of miles away.

On the seventh day of the fifth month, Prime Minister Boyan, who received an urgent report on the situation in Dadu, was so worried that he strongly suppressed the idea of rushing back to Dadu immediately. First, he wrote a letter in his own hand, sent it out in a hurry for 400 miles, and then summoned all the generals of the Southern Expedition except for Fan Wenhu, who did not arrive in time in Liangzhejiang, to discuss the account.

Boyan's first sentence was: "It is May, and before autumn in September at the latest, the southern campaign must end." The sea of Chagatai will not allow us to settle Jiangnan in peace and stability for a year and a half, and the situation in Dadu is the same...... And I also want to remind all of you here that because Ahmad and Sango died unexpectedly, there will be a short-term chaos in the payment of taxes by the imperial court, which will not affect the food and grass rewards of our southern expedition and the transfer of military funds in the short term, but if the war drags on for a long time, it will be affected...... Therefore, this battle must be completed in three months! ”

The faces of the generals in the tent were solemn, and they suddenly felt the pressure doubled.

"Now look at the enemy situation that our army is facing." Boyan didn't talk nonsense, unfolded the map, the three red arrows on the map were particularly dazzling, Boyan pointed to the red arrows above, and said: "At the end of April, Wen Tianxiang, the prime minister of the Song State, led a Song army to appear in Zhangzhou and allied with the thieves Mrs. Xu, Chen Hangyan, Huang Hua and other chiefs. When he went north, he had no more than 100 people, but now he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from all directions, and his momentum has soared. ”

Bo Yan's finger moved down and pointed to another red arrow: "This is the main force of the Song Army, the elite of more than 11,000 Dragon Sparrow Army personally commanded by Zhao Lie, the Lord of Song. At this moment, it is sweeping all the way to the north, and it is about to kill Chaozhou. Once the Song army broke through Chaozhou, Chaozhou and Zhangzhou were connected, Quanzhou was difficult to protect, and Fuzhou was in danger. ”

Boyan finally pointed to the red arrow downward: "This is the headquarters of Su Liu Yi, the governor of Guangnan of the Song Army." Its troops were originally pioneers, but when they attacked Guangzhou, they were defeated by Deputy Marshal Li Heng. Most of his soldiers and horses were brave and unusable, so they were left in the rear by the Song lord, and the governor of the Song army was supplemented with food and soldiers. ”

After the introduction, Boyan's fine eyes revealed a sharp edge that did not match his elegant appearance: "The enemy is menacing, what do you think you should do?" ”

All the generals said: "Please give the prime minister a strategy." ”

Boyan looked around majestically and nodded slowly: "Okay, I intend to attack against attack, first break the enemy's two wings, and then take the enemy's head." In this battle, the Lord of Song will be bound under the steps of the Great Khan to sacrifice to the prince! ”

The generals said in unison: "The Lord of Song will be bound under the Great Khan to sacrifice to the prince!" ”

"Okay, let's take a look." Boyan drew three black arrows from Ganzhou, where the Marshal's Mansion was located, and pointed to three red arrows representing the Song army, as if they were in a-for-tat posture: "Happy, Wang Weiyi listens to orders." ”

"The subordinates are here."

"With the left army of 10,000 happy households in the march and Wang Weiyi of 10,000 households, leading 12,000 troops, advancing into Zhangzhou, merging the soldiers and horses of Zhangzhou Road, attacking and destroying the Song Guowen Tianxiang Department and Mrs. Xu, Chen Hangyan's She army, and breaking the left arm of the Song army."

"The subordinate orders to lead the army will live up to the trust of the prime minister."

There are more than 100,000 She troops, and there are only more than 10,000 Yuan troops, even if you add the military horses of Zhangzhou Road, there are only 30,000 in the sky. It seems that the enemy is outnumbered, but whether it is Boyan who gave the military order, or Xing Xing and Wang Weiyi who received the order, they all know very well that the She army and the Song army are not the same thing. These hundreds of thousands of She troops are under the command of dozens of large and small marshals, and these marshals are rebellious by nature, each with its own mountain, and different orders. Even if Wen Tianxiang's prestige is suppressed, it is fine on weekdays, but once he goes to the battlefield, he will definitely not be able to suppress it only by prestige without a strong army.

Happy to be praised by Boyan as a "wise and brave general", and Wang Weiyi once captured Wen Tianxiang during the Battle of the Empty Pit. Both of them had full confidence to defeat the more than 100,000 rabble and capture the prime minister of the Song State again.

Boyan took another arrow: "Li Heng and those who finish all obey the order." ”

"The end will be."

"With the deputy marshal Li Heng and the marching tens of thousands of households as the right army, each led 5,000 elite cavalry, crossed the Dageng Ridge in two ways, went south along Zhangshui and Taoshui, and captured Yingdezhou. After that, he waited for the opportunity to annihilate the Song army under Su Liuyi and cut off the right arm of the Song army. If it is not good, it is also necessary to capture Zengcheng and Boluo and cut off the grain route of the Song army. ”

"The last general leads the army."

Li Heng has 3,000 horses and red troops, of which 1,000 are iron harriers, all of which are no less than the elite horses of Mongolian iron horses. And the finishers are all fierce generals known as "Batu Lu", with the power of shooting eagles and fighting tigers, and once led the Red Army (Prime Minister's personal guard) in front of the Boyan tent, and are good at running and riding assaults. In the years when he served as Gaoyou Lu Daru Huachi, he has maintained a Mongolian elite cavalry team of 1,000 people, and the previous time he broke Mrs. Xu and Chen Hangyan, and relieved the siege of Zhangzhou, it was his masterpiece of leading the elite cavalry to run thousands of miles.

Boyan took advantage of the advantages of the Mengyuan cavalry to implement a big detour, cut off the back road of the Song army, and cut off its grain route, which can not be described as ruthless.

"In the end, you will lead an army of 200,000 to kill Chaozhou and fight a decisive battle with the Song lord on land and sea!"

The generals got up suddenly, and the leaves of the armor rang out, and they gathered into a piece of slaughter: "Within three months, destroy the Song army in the north and capture the Song lord alive!" ”

Red and black six arrows, about to collide violently!
