Text Chapter 387 Victory? Fail?

When he saw Zhao Yun again, Jia Yidao could obviously feel the uncertain look on Zhao Yun's face, and his face was a little arrogant.

Zhao Yun drank a lot in a good mood at night, and he was already a little drunk. At the moment, the bun is still a little scattered, with a bit of moisture, obviously just bathed. As a person who has come over, he naturally knows why Zhao Yun seems a little unhappy, ** is short. You won't even hate yourself for taking a cheap sister, right?

Although I thought about it in my heart, I still had to do things.

"Brother-in-law......"

"Shi Xian, it's getting late, what do you have to do to go back to see me? Can't we talk about it tomorrow? Zhao Yun sat behind the bronze case, rubbed his head, and interrupted Jia Yidao's words and reluctantly said in a harmonious voice.

"Brother-in-law, something happened in Xiangyang." Jia Rudao didn't say much nonsense, and as he spoke, he put Meng Hui's secret letter on the bronze case in front of Zhao Yun.

Jia Yidao's words made the slightly drunk Zhao Yun suddenly feel excited, and the fullness and **** in his heart instantly turned into nothing. looked at the secret letter in front of him, but he didn't reach out to pick it up, but looked at Jia Rudao and said in a deep voice: "Is it the secret letter that Meng Puyu gave you from Xiangyang?" ”

"Now the messengers of Zhongshu Province, the Privy Council, and the Imperial Historical Observatory are afraid that they are already on the way to the capital, and the specific information of the battle of Xiangyang will be made public to the court in the near future.

Since Meng Heng's secret letter has been placed in front of Zhao Yun, Jia Yidao did not intend to hide that Zhao Yun was Meng Hui's letter to himself, although since ancient times, the military generals, especially the leading marshals on the front line, have colluded with the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government in private, but at this time and that time, Jia Yidao believes that Zhao Yun will not have any bad thoughts about this matter. Because, if you go through the normal channels, the first thing to do in the report of the war and political affairs in various places is the Privy Council and the Monk Book Province, and the privy envoys and the left and right prime ministers will discuss it before reporting it to Zhao Yun. It's just that in this way, it is too sudden, and neither Zhao Yun nor Jia Yidao can find a proper way to deal with it in time.

Of course, even if Zhao Yun was really suspicious and frightened, Jia Yidao would not care too much.

The letter ...... I won't look at it, Shixian, you just tell me. Sure enough, Zhao Yun did not dwell on the matter of Meng Hui passing over the Privy Council and the Imperial Historical Observatory to directly transmit such an important military information to Jia Nidao first, he took a deep look at Jia Nidao, and then closed his eyes and leaned back on the dragon chair behind him a little tired.

Jia Rudao knew that this incident was obviously another blow to Zhao Yun, who had just become a little ambitious, and he stopped talking nonsense and told Zhao Yun eloquently.

In fact, the battle situation of the Xinyang Army was much better than what Jia Nidao had imagined when he didn't read the letter before. Because of the delay of Guan Xing and others, and Li Dali's desperate run back to the camp to report the news, the Xinyang army finally moved before Zhang Rou's Caizhou City army arrived at the camp.

Although it was still in a hurry, it was much better than the result after the Mongols suddenly attacked the camp.

In this battle, because of the heavy snow, because of Xing and others, a night attack turned into a strong attack. Trapped in a horse pit or something because of the continuous heavy snow for many days can not be used, arrows and arrows and arrows and rockets in the cold wind can not play much role, just shot out has been blown away by the wind, whether you can shoot people, can only depend on luck.

A pure head-to-head duel, a battle with only blood and no fire, and finally the Xinyang Army retreated in a bloody battle, and nearly 80,000 soldiers were lost. The commander of the Xinyang army made Ren Yi die in battle, and dozens of commanders and more than 100 commanders under Ren Yi were buried in the wind and snow outside Caizhou City, and the remaining soldiers of less than 30,000 people were basically all wounded, and finally the rout was a hundred miles away from Caizhou City before they camped again, and countless grains and grass were lost.

The Mongolian army in Caizhou City, which Zhang Rou personally commanded, how many people were killed, the wind and snow were heavy and the sky was dark, and it was impossible to count the specific numbers, Meng Heng did not say it clearly in his heart, but Zhang Rou was seriously injured, but it is certain that Zhang Rou was seriously injured, and it can be seen from the rout of the Xinyang army that the Mongolian servant army did not have the tail to pursue the bloody battle, and the nearly 100,000 Mongolian servant army was also the first to be quite heavy, plus Zhang Rou was seriously injured, and the Mongolian servant army in Caizhou City should have been unable to fight again in the short term.

Overall, the Xinyang army was defeated. However, it was not in the hands of Zhang Rou, but in the weather and logistics, and it was already a surprise for Jia Nidao to be able to drag both defeats. This time, Meng Hui followed Jia Yidao's advice to go north to force Caizhou and Tangzhou four cities, which was a hasty move, the battle of Xiangyang was initially decided, the Ningwu army lost five or six, and the rest of the Xinyang army, Zaoyang army, Suizhou army and other armies were mostly ten to seven or eight, after the battle of Xiangyang, all the armies were drawn from the various Xiang armies to supplement the soldiers, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the Xiang army, as a miscellaneous army in the team, there was not much combat effectiveness of these Xiang army, and the nearly 100,000 Mongols who could fight were both defeated. For Da Song, he is indeed proud enough.

Not to mention, because the logistics baggage is not sufficient, and the heavy snow for several days, the Xinyang army, which has not fully prepared for warm clothing, has been lying in the snow for three days, and there are countless frostbitten soldiers, even if there is no frostbite, the combat effectiveness of the southern soldiers in the snow battle is already a few points worse than those servants of the Mongols, from this aspect, the Xinyang army is not a victory in this battle, even if it is a very tragic victory.

Receiving the news of the rout of the Xinyang army, the Ningwu army that came from Xiangyang hurriedly met the Xinyang army on the second night, and on the third day, Zhang Jun's Zaoyang army also arrived from Yingzhou City, Ningwu Army, Zaoyang Army plus the remnants of the Xinyang Army, and now the Great Song Army outside Caizhou City has nearly 200,000, Meng Heng's letter this time, in addition to informing Zhao Yun and Jia Nidao of the battle of Caizhou, more importantly, I want to ask Zhao Yun or Jia Nidao, whether it is necessary for the army to take the opportunity to besiege Caizhou City and take Caizhou City in one fell swoop. Laying the first bridgehead for the Great Song Dynasty to go north, even if it was only temporary, was also an encouragement to the Great Song Dynasty.

After all, since the battle of Duanping into Luo, on the entire north bank of the Yangtze River, except for Xiangyang City, which is still the land of the Great Song Dynasty, all the other cities have never occupied one.

"So, in the battle of Caizhou, my Great Song can't be considered defeated?" After listening to Jia Yidao's speech, Zhao Yun seemed to be in the spirit again, got up and walked around twice with some excitement.

"Maybe it's a pyrrhic victory." Looking at Zhao Yun, who was a little excited, Jia Rudao was silent and said for a while.

"That's good......"

"But brother-in-law, the commander of the Xinyang Army, Ren Yi, died in battle, and the rest of the commanders and commanders suffered hundreds of casualties, and now there are less than 30,000 remnants of the Xinyang Army, and the entire army is almost wiped out. Will they believe it? ”

Jia Rudao had to pour a basin of cold water on Zhao Yun and reminded. In fact, the bigger trouble is the princes, heirs, and county kings of the clan, which Jia Yidao only said in his heart but did not say it.
