The third year of Jiaxi was destined to be an unusual year, and it was not until many years later that the people who wrote history discovered that many seemingly unrelated things that happened in this year affected the national fortunes of the Song and Mongolian dynasties in the following years and even decades.

This year, the battle of Song and Mongolia that occurred in the second year of Jiaxi, the Huainan battlefield has been in a stalemate, and Bal Xue seems to have enough strength to compete with Zhao Kui, because Shi Tianze in the direction of Jingxiang has not moved, and at the same time, in the case of not knowing the intention of the mouth temperature and not spending money, especially the intention of the Mongols, the 100,000 troops of He Shun who marched east in order to protect Jingxiang and prevent being cut off from the back road, but fell into the trap of the Mongols, and were never able to attack the Bald Xue Department with all their might.

Zhang Jun's army that marched west was also facing such a situation, with more than 100,000 troops in Duliang and 100,000 troops in Zhang Jun fighting on the front line of Jingzhao Mansion, but they were mainly tempted, and there was never a battle of more than 10,000 people.

As the silver, grain, grass and ordnance allocated by the imperial court arrived in Sichuan and Huainan one after another, Zhao Rongrui personally sat in Bazhou and set up a defense line on the front line of Lizhou, Bazhou and Dazhou.

The sudden outbreak of war between Song and Mongolia finally changed in March of the third year of Jiaxi.

On the second of February, the dragon raised its head; On March 3, Xuanyuan was born.

On the third day of the third month of the third year of Jiaxi, Du Liang, the main general of the first line of Jingzhao Mansion sent by Subutai, received the news of the scout, and there were more than 1,000 Great Song soldiers who were attacking a beacon tower on the first line of Jingzhao Mansion.

This is the tacit understanding of the Song and Mongolian troops on the front line of Jingzhao Mansion for more than a month.

The two armies are facing each other, and they can't keep confronting each other without any records, right? How to explain to the court? The commander of the army also needs the heads of the enemy's soldiers to do military feats, right? What the generals of the Song Dynasty think, Du Liang doesn't know, anyway, Du Liang has never taken the more than 100,000 servant soldiers of the Western Xia to heart, and can earn him more military merits in exchange for the heads of some Song soldiers, Du Liang will not be stingy with the lives of these Western Xia people at all.

But things are a little different today.

Not long after more than 1,000 soldiers were dispatched, the scouts came to report that the Song people had increased their troops, and directly increased their troops by more than 3,000 people. It seems that I have to take that beacon tower today.

Du Liang was naturally overjoyed, and the Song people were willing to send more heads, so he was naturally desperate. also hurriedly increased the troops of the beacon tower again, but this time Du Liang slipped and directly increased the troops by 5,000. It is rare for the Song people to dispatch so many soldiers at one time, and Du Liang naturally wants to take this opportunity to get more heads of the Song soldiers, so that he can go to the front of Subutai to ask for credit.

Soon after, the scouts came again to report, this time the Song people directly increased their troops by more than 10,000 people, and they were desperately besieging the beacon tower, and even the three beacon towers around the beacon tower were also attacked by the Song people at the same time. So, Du Liang once again increased his troops by 20,000 in anger, wanting to firmly grasp the credit that was finally sent this time.

And he himself continued to take a group of generals to drink and have fun with the captured women.

This was repeated until Du Liang was drunk and received a report from the scouts again, and when the Song army attacked and wanted to increase the number of troops, he was told by his generals that all the soldiers had been sent to the battlefield.

When Du Liang realized that he had fallen into the trap of the Song people, the scout just happened to send an urgent report that Meng Heng's handsome banner had appeared on the battlefield.

Hearing that Meng Heng's handsome banner appeared on the battlefield on the front line of Jingzhao Mansion, all the Mongolian generals in the big account were instantly awakened by their drunkenness.

Who Meng Heng is, no one in Mongolia is unclear. Meng Heng's handsome banner appeared on the battlefield, which can only explain one problem, Meng Heng, who was still sitting on the front line of Jingxiang before, no longer knows when he quietly appeared on the battlefield on the front line of Jingzhao Mansion. Meng Heng, as a pillar of the Great Song Dynasty, appeared on the front line of Jingzhao Mansion, and he would definitely not be the only one.

Du Liang and the others didn't think that their more than 100,000 troops alone would be able to stop hundreds of thousands of Ning Wu troops.

After hearing the appearance of Meng Heng's handsome banner, Du Liang, who no longer had the slightest will to fight, hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat.

The defeat was like a mountain.

On the third day of the third month of March in the third year of Jiaxi, the Jinghu system made Meng Heng personally lead 10,000 personal soldiers, secretly appeared on the front line of Jingzhao Mansion, with Meng Heng's 10,000 elite personal soldiers as the main attack, the Jinghu Army broke more than 100,000 Mongolian troops in Duliang, this battle, the Great Song Dynasty beheaded more than 30,000 people, captured more than 20,000 Mongolian soldiers, and only Du Liang and a cadre of Mongolian generals fled back to Jingzhao Mansion in embarrassment and closed the city.

With the defeat of the Duliang army on the front line of Jingzhaofu, Subutai on the Sichuan battlefield withdrew its troops for 300 miles overnight before re-encamping, and then retreated all the way to Guanzhong before stopping; After receiving the news of the defeat of the Mongol army on the front line of Jingzhao Mansion, the Bal Xue Department on the Huainan battlefield also hurriedly broke away from contact with Zhao Kui's department, and all of them retreated to Sizhou City, making a strict defense.

When the news came, the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty rejoiced, and the gloomy clouds of the government and the opposition were swept away. It is said that on the day Zhao Yun received Meng Hui's letter, he was rarely drunk at the court banquet, and personally gave Meng Heng special entry into the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and the Jinghu army had a reward.

It was also this year that Fujian pacified Wu Liang and died on the woman's belly. However, because of Meng Hui's big victory on the front line of Jingzhao Mansion, Wu Liang's death is really nothing.

However, it was also at that banquet that Zhao Yun, who was in full swing, listened to Shi Songzhi's advice, and the arrangement of the Guangdong pacification envoy Jia Rudao to temporarily take care of all matters on the Fujian Road before the new pacification envoy was selected by the imperial court to arrive in Fujian, which was also rare and passed without any major obstacles.

Also in the third year of Jiaxi (1239), Jia Rudao, who was only twenty-seven years old, became the pacification envoy of Guangdong and temporarily took care of the affairs of Fujian Road.

Jia Rudao received the news of Meng Hui's victory over the Mongol army on the front line of Jingzhao Mansion half a month earlier than the edict from the imperial court. When he received Zhao Yun's order to temporarily take care of all matters on Fujian Road, to be honest, Jia Yidao was very surprised for a moment. It was definitely something he didn't expect.

This is indeed the result he wants, but in his previous opinion, whether it is the school of science or the sect, it will not let him control the military and political power all the way, especially a big fat piece like Fujian Road. But it just happened.

After talking to Shuai Si, who originally belonged to the two roads, Jian Fangda and the others were very knowledgeable, and they all chose to go to the regimental training envoy Yamen.

Jia Rudao divided the 36 prefectures of Guangdong Road into six regimental training envoys, and the six commanders of the Shuai Division were in charge of a regimental training envoy yamen and recruiting soldiers.

And with the defection of Shuai Si, Cao Si, who smelled the smell, quickly chose to compromise with Jia Yidao.

Cao Si is divided into the east and west roads of Guangdong, and the transshipment envoys who originally belonged to the east and west roads of Guangnan are responsible for one of them, and the jurisdiction boundary is still the original east and west roads of Guangnan. However, Cao Si belonged to the secret name under the Yamen of the City Ship Division, and became an official in the Yamen of the City Ship Division.

Xie Changxing and Chang Sheng were respectively promoted by Jia Rudao to the city of the Yamen, the east and west of Guangdong, and the same knowledge (from the five products). The rest of the judges and deputy transfer envoys of the Cao Division were promoted to the deacons of the Yamen of the City Bo Division one by one.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Cao Division, which originally belonged to the east and west roads of Guangnan, is still Cao Si on the surface, but in fact, it has been swallowed up by the Yamen of the City Shipping Division.

At this point, the political and financial power of the Guangdong Road Army has been put into the hands of Jia Nidao.
