Text 388.Chapter 388 Caizhou City Affairs

"How's that okay?" Zhao Yun heard Jia Yidao's reminder, and suddenly felt like he had been poured cold water, "Then Meng Puyu is so greedy and reckless, it's really a bad thing." （. . In a fit of rage, Zhao Yun directly blamed Meng Heng.

When Jia Rudao heard Zhao Yun say this, his brows furrowed slightly. He knew very well that Zhao Yun said that it was Meng Heng who had done something bad for him, so why wasn't he also vaguely talking about his dissatisfaction with him? After all, Meng Heng waved his army north to force Caizhou, Tangzhou and other four cities, in the final analysis, it was because of Jia Yidao's strong request that Zhao Yun would support it.

"Actually, Your Majesty, this matter is not a good thing." Jia Rudao pondered for a while and said softly.

"Isn't that a good thing? What does Shi Xian mean by this? Let's hear it. Zhao Yun rubbed his eyebrows, wrapped the thin brocade robe on his body, and said in a muffled voice.

Obviously, Zhao Yun didn't think that in this case, Jia Yidao could still say bad things into good things with his mouth.

"Zhang Rou's battle, in addition to Shi Tianze's 30,000 Mongolian elite cavalry stationed in Tangzhou City, was unharmed, almost all the garrisons stationed in the north of the Yangtze River were concentrated in the battle of Tangzhou, fortunately, God bless my Great Song Dynasty, the sky is not as good as people, Zhang Rou wanted to eat my Great Song soldiers under Tangzhou City, but he never thought that he was finally defeated by several scouts of my Great Song Dynasty, killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, and finally ended up in a situation where I and my Great Song were both defeated and injured, and I have to say that it is also fate.

After this battle of Tangzhou, within hundreds of miles north of the Yangtze River, except for Shi Tianze's 30,000 Mongolian elite cavalry, there were no Mongolian soldiers who could pose a threat to our Great Song Dynasty, and due to the heavy snowfall, Shi Tianze's 30,000 Mongolian elite cavalry were all trapped in Tangzhou City, unless Shi Tianze had the courage to turn those Mongolian cavalry into foot soldiers, of course, if he abolished his martial arts, even if Shi Tianze had 10,000 reasons to do so, he would be powerless. After all, if all the 30,000 Mongolian cavalry were folded under the city of Caizhou, it would be difficult to appease the anger of the Mongol emperor even with the respect of the mouth and the warmth.

But if Shi Tianze didn't turn the 30,000 elite cavalry into foot soldiers, the four cities of Caizhou and Tangzhou basically didn't have many troops to garrison, which was also a dilemma. After the battle of Caizhou, although the losses of our Great Song Dynasty were not small, the available soldiers under Meng Shuai were much more abundant than those of Shi Tianze and others. The Ningwu Army, the Suizhou Army, the Zaoyang Army and other armies basically did not have any losses, and this was the opportunity for my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Opportunity? What chances? ”

Zhao Yun seemed to be in the spirit when he heard this, sat up straight and looked at Jia Rudao and said urgently.

"At present, Zhang Rou has just fought with the Xinyang army to defeat and lose, and is gathering the remnants of the army everywhere, Dengzhou, Tangzhou, Caizhou and Yingzhou are empty, as long as Meng Shuai can make up his mind to take the opportunity to send troops north to capture the land of the four cities, the worst can also take Dengzhou, Tangzhou, Yingzhou, at that time, Shi Tianze only had two choices, either give up Caizhou and retreat north, or he will risk being besieged by hundreds of thousands of soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty, he Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou, 30,000 Mongolian elite cavalry did not take the risk of Caizhou City and Caizhou City to wait for help. Now Sun Kui's Houjin army is making trouble in Zhending Mansion, and he may not be able to divide his troops to come to the aid of Shi Tianze, Zhang Rou and others, if Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou don't want to die, they can only choose to abandon the city and flee north......"

"Then my Great Song Dynasty fought a succession of victories, recovered the four cities of Dengzhou, Tangzhou, Caizhou, and Yingzhou, and achieved an unprecedented victory." Zhao Yun clapped his hands and said excitedly.

"Exactly." Jia Rudao turned his words and continued: "The fighter plane is fleeting, and now we don't know whether Zhang Roubu retreated to Caizhou City after the war to join forces with Shi Tianze or retreat into the other three cities, the situation on these battlefields is only known to Meng Shuai, and only Meng Shuai on the battlefield knows how to deal with it, Shengshang and Weichen are now just looking at Meng Shuai's secret letter to guess how to act, what the final battle situation should be, or wait for Meng Shuai's official document to be delivered to us to be clear." ”

"I now let the army department eight hundred miles to urgently order Meng Heng to attack the four cities!"

"Shengshang, from the beginning of the war to Meng Shuai sending people to Lin'an City, I'm afraid it should be at least three or five days, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and when the Holy Lord orders the military department to expedite the delivery of the edict for eight hundred miles, I'm afraid that the daylilies will be cold if it doesn't sound good." Jia Rudao reminded helplessly.

"Then the plan now means that I can only wait for Meng Puyu's battle report and let it go?" Zhao Yun got up and turned around twice, looking at Jia Rudao depressed and unwilling.

"Your Majesty, Meng Shuai has been fighting horses for decades, how to behave on the battlefield, how to use soldiers, and when to use soldiers, he has long been familiar with it, otherwise the Holy Lord would not have ordered Meng Shuai to sit in the position of the envoy of the Jinghu system, right? Weichen believes that the fighter we can see Meng Shuai is definitely clearer than us, and the Meng Shuai we can think of must be more clear than those of us who are thousands of miles away in the war. Can't I say that now the four cities are already in the hands of my Great Song? ”

Jia Yidao knew very well that Zhao Yun also seemed to have a mirror in his heart, from Caizhou City to Xiangyang City, and then to Xiangyang City to send the letter to Lin'an across the river, even if it was an expedited 800 miles from the Ministry of War, it would take at least three or five days to send it, and now Zhao Yun has no way to be in a hurry, and the only thing he can do is to wait, and wait for Meng Heng's side to turn the tide, and the good news can come at this critical juncture.

In this way, not only will there be no twists and turns in the crown prince's canonization ceremony, but it will also be able to make Lin'an City, which is now surging undercurrent, more stable. It can also make Zhao Yun regain some confidence.

"But......," Jia said, with some hesitation.

"Shi Xian has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Meng Shuai also mentioned one thing in his heart, this time the Xinyang army lost, more because the household department has not transported the winter clothes, grain, grass and weapons to Xiangyang City, and this is also the main reason why the Xinyang army was trapped under Caizhou City in the heavy snow. As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, but now the various armies under Meng Shuai's account are all short of clothing and food, and in the face of the Mongolian army like a wolf and a tiger, my Song soldiers are already lacking in combat strength, and the matter of grain and grass is so delayed, and the household department has an unshirkable responsibility in this matter. ”

Jia Rudao said here after a pause, glanced at the expressionless Zhao Yun and continued: "Lord Xie has been in charge of the household department for many years, and it is said that it is impossible to make such a mistake, and now at the critical juncture when Meng Shuai is moving north, there is a situation where the grain and grass soldiers have not arrived in full, and the saint has not received any news, if no one in the court knows about this, it must be impossible, if there is no battle of Caizhou, it is really necessary to wait until the mouth of Wen Buhua goes south again, and Meng Shuai will inform the court that Xiangyang lacks clothes and food, At that time, His Majesty and the court only knew about this, and I am afraid that it will be too late. In Weichen's opinion, this is the more important thing. ”

To Jia Nidao's surprise, after Zhao Yun heard these words again, his expression was quite strange, which made Jia Nidao a little uncertain in his heart. Zhao Yun's gesture can only show one thing, that is, the things behind this matter are not as simple as he saw and thought.

……

The snow-capped city of Caizhou finally stopped the wind and snow, and the long-lost cold sun appeared on the sky with a thousand feet of cold light, shining on the silver covered earth, as if to turn the entire heaven and earth into a world of light.

On the head of Caizhou City, Shi Tianze, who was dressed in a brocade robe and had a white face and beardless, like a scholar, squinted his eyes and looked at the endless black pressure tent under the city and was silent, and after a long time, he slowly withdrew his hands that had been frozen on the top of the city and inserted them into his sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "Since Meng Puyu's handsome tent has arrived under Caizhou City, then the three cities of Dengzhou, Tangzhou, and Yingzhou are afraid that they have been lost." ”

"I think that Meng Heng wants to be promoted and make a fortune because he wants to go crazy, even if we give him the four places including Caizhou City, how long can he hold on? As long as the prince calms down the remnants of Houjin on Hebei Road, and the army moves south again, in addition to Meng Heng's Xiangyang City south of the Yangtze River, it is not something that I can easily obtain?

A big man standing on Shi Tianze's left side said in a muffled voice.

In the entire Caizhou territory, there is no second person who can stand side by side with Shi Tianze and speak so casually, except for Zhang Rou. Compared with Shi Tianze, who is slender and white-faced, and is more like a scholar than a martial artist, Zhang Rou, who is also regarded as a gentle mouth and does not spend his right hand, is obviously much more photogenic. With a full beard, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a loud voice, he can be regarded as a real martial artist. On this cold and snowy day, there is still a right arm wrapped in sackcloth, and a little smell of blood and pungent herbs comes out.

At this moment, Zhang Rou's mood really can't be counted as how good it can be, the night attack failed and fought for both defeats, and finally the Xinyang army fought back desperately under the command of Ren Yi's leading soldiers, and almost trapped Zhang Rou, who was also the first soldier, to be trapped in the formation, if it weren't for the desperate rescue of Zhang Rou's personal soldiers, coupled with Ren Yi's Xinyang army's cold hands and feet, even the weapons were almost unable to hold the combat power and plummeted, whether Zhang Rou could retreat with all his body depended on luck.

Hearing Zhang Rou's words, Shi Tianze frowned slightly: "Brother Degang (Zhang Rou, the word Degang), you and my brothers have not dealt with that Meng Puyu for a day or two, I think when we attacked the Jin Kingdom together, you and I still had the righteousness of being a comrade with that Meng Puyu, although now you are the masters, but you don't have to belittle him so deliberately, if that Meng Puyu is really a person who is greedy for merit, I am afraid that in the past ten years, I will not sit in the high position of holding hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers now." ”

"Humph! It can only be said that Emperor Song is really unavailable. ”

Hearing Zhang Rou's words, Shi Tianze smiled slightly, and he didn't dwell on this matter, and changed his words: "Now there are not many soldiers available in the city, there are countless injuries, and the grain and grass are enough for us to hold on for half a month, if it is according to what Brother Degang said, there is no need to stick to this Caizhou City, and give the four cities to Meng Puyu, who wants to be promoted and make a fortune, not to mention how we explain to the prince and the court, it's just that now the snow is blocked, the road is slippery and difficult, and there is no place for 30,000 elite horsemen, not to mention tens of thousands of disabilities, If Meng Puyu is determined to fight a fish to die and break the tail to pursue, what should he do? ”
