Chapter 70: Entering the Victorious Master in Ba Shui (3)

Zheng Yunming raised his eyes and looked at the person who came, laughed, and said, "Zhang Shijie! You and I have a lot of fate, so we can meet again! Shall I give you a horse to take you back to the north? ”

Zhang Shijie replied in frustration: "I was recognized by several soldiers from my fellow villagers during the scuffle yesterday, and I fought without saying anything, but I accidentally killed one of them, and the rest fled back to report to Zhang Rou." Now I can't clear my name at all, and I have nowhere to go. ”

"There's nowhere to go, so let's go south." Zheng Yunming shouted: "This is the fate of your fate with the Zhao official family, even if you run to the ends of the earth, you can't hide." ”

In the known history of another world, only Zhang Shijie, as the last general, accompanied the bloodline of the Zhao family to the ends of the earth, exhausted his loyalty and loyalty, Zheng Yunming, as a courtier of the Zhao official family, had to be grateful.

Zhang Shijie sighed: "As the official said, my destiny belongs to the Southern Dynasty, and from now on, please send the general at will." As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee and offered the saber at his waist with both hands.

"That's it, you keep the knife to kill the Tartars, and from now on you will see Zhang Wanhu as an enemy again, are you really ready?" Zheng Yunming's simple words made Zhang Shijie hesitate again, this uncle, who has been a hero since he was a child, really doesn't know how to face it when he wants to draw a knife against him in the future.

Zheng Yunming laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "This dynasty puts benevolence and righteousness first, how can you do things that kill each other, and when you meet Zhang Degang before the battle, you are allowed to temporarily retire three times, and after three times, you are not allowed to show mercy to your subordinates." ”

He turned around and asked, "What does 6 Weng think?" ”

6 Xunzhi frowned: "To be honest, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if the official grants him this power, he is afraid that there will be trouble in the future." ”

Zheng Yunming shook his hand: "The fate of the country is bet on a big war, the fate of a battle is bet on one person, even if such a country is not destroyed today, it cannot survive for a hundred years, and now that Mongolia has retreated, it is time to deploy the country's centennial plan."

Whenever Zheng Yunming wanted to make a grand statement, someone always lost no time in interrupting him, this time it was Hu Yanyu who rode a horse and galloped. He dismounted and saw the commander-in-chief, and said: "Thirteen miles to the northeast, there are about 2,000 people encamped, fighting the banner of the Mongolian army's Wu'er department, and the men, horses and chariots are all there, I don't know what the purpose is. ”

Since the defeat of the Jiangnan War, the Wu'er army has fully waved the shrewd nature of the businessman, and as soon as they saw Yan Shi fleeing, they immediately moved urgently, snatched a lot from the boats and rafts that crossed the river, crossed the river first, and joined the families and baggage left behind, and actually escaped first among the guards and horses, but why they were entrenched here, it is puzzling.

Zheng Yunming turned his head sideways and asked, "6 What do you think?" ”

6 Xunzhi laughed: "What is there to say about this, if you don't leave, you will definitely surrender." ”

Zheng Yunming nodded, and ordered: "Send someone to ask, why is the Wu'er Department entrenched here?" If you want to fight, you can set up a position and fight with a dignified formation. ”

Soon after the envoy was dispatched, he returned with a vulture.

Zheng Yunming recognized this person, it was the young general who shot his arrow on the side of the car formation, and he didn't say anything, but just asked: "If you don't return north in time and stay here, do you still want to fight with our army?" ”

The young general knelt on the ground and said, "I don't want to lose my life, and now I will serve the lord Hami Tong Ye Hu and also come out of Luke. Ma Heima. After our department crossed the river, Natath whipped Lord Ainhong with fifty lashes, and said that he would take the Lord to Helin to be beheaded, so Lord Ainhong was willing to surrender to Lord Zheng and Sinan Si Khan, and cut through thorns and thorns for the south, and there was no second heart. ”

Zheng Yunming was not so easy to believe in the role of people, and he asked again: "Since Tath whipped Ainhon, why did he put him back in the headquarters, and you waited to stay in the rear, did he not care about it as the coach?" ”

Bei Ba Li replied: "After Tasi whipped Tong Ye Hu, he immediately pulled out the camp and set off, it seemed that he was in a hurry, and he didn't even take a lot of baggage with him, and ordered all his troops to return to the north and assemble in Luoyang City, so that our army had the opportunity to act independently." ”

Walking so urgently, it seems that Qu Chu really died under the city of Xiangyang, Zheng Yunming thought, Qu Chu's death is a big deal for Ogedai Khan, and the prisoners were interrogated and learned that at present, Gui You has gone out of Beihai with the eldest son's expeditionary army, and is marching towards the Scythian steppe, which is a famous event in history, these eldest sons led the elite soldiers until they hit Hungary thousands of miles away, and will not return when they hear the news of the death of Ogedai Khan, which will not return until at least five years later, among the sons of Ogedai who remained, Qu died of illness, There is only one broad end left to lead the troops, and the north will be in a brief chaos, which is also a good time to free up your hands to run Jinghu.

At this time, Zheng Yunming didn't expect that there was even greater trouble waiting for him.

After sending the Wu'er Department to Xiangyang to accept the reorganization, Zheng Yunming and 6 followed the first to return to the Yamen of the Establishment Envoy, and they wanted to report in detail the results of the cleaning of the battlefield in the north, but they did not expect that as soon as they arrived at the main gate of the Fuya, they met the anxious Bai Yijie.

"The envoy and Meng Shuai are waiting for the general in the study, and the staff and generals of the headquarters are also there." Bai Yijie arched his hand and said, "Please go to the council immediately." ”

"Why are you so alarmed?" Zheng Yunming smiled and said: "Isn't it a song to deceive the corpse and return the soul, and then lead the army to kill it back." ”

Bai Yijie was not in the mood to joke at all, he said in a deep voice: "Something happened in Sichuan." ”

Zheng Yunming's excited mind immediately calmed down because of the victory. The breakthrough of Shukou is the history of another world, and it is not immune to this world. He was only worried about how violent the Mongol invasion would be, and whether the whole of Sichuan would be irreparable.

When he stepped into the study, Zhao Zhizhi and Meng Dutong's tightly knit brows told him that the situation on the fourth road in the Sichuan Gorge was not optimistic.

Before the war, the state received confidential information that the Mongols claimed to do their best to raise the troops of the West, claiming to have 500,000 elite soldiers, and drove the 18 Tibetan soldiers of the West to attack the Central Plains together, but in fact they also mobilized at least 70,000 soldiers and horses, and drove the troops of the Tibetans, Uighurs, Dangxiang, Jurchens, and Bohai to participate in the war, and the total strength is said to have exceeded 100,000.

At this time, the Shukou garrison, on the basis of the severe blow suffered last year, has not been effectively replenished and rectified, and the Sichuan Road pacification at the forefront has less than 20,000 troops in the hands of Zhao Yanna, and the core of it is the 8,000 elite led by Cao Youwen. The equipment of the Shukou garrison has always been bad, although Cao Youwen also sent people to ask Jinghu to distribute firearms last year, but at that time, the firearms in Zheng Yunming's hands were already insufficient, and he could only give away a mere sixty bamboo generals, in general, the defense of Shukou has reached the point where it is difficult to support.

As the commander-in-chief of the Western Road, the second prince of Mongolia, Kuoduan, and the prince Mu Zhibing divided into two roads, Kuoduan led the army straight into Shukou, and after Mu Zhi led the army to conquer Huizhou, he transferred from Tangchang to Sichuan and joined the main army.

After the fall of Huizhou and the death of Guo Shrimp Toad, the Mongolian army covered the wilderness and came straight to Sichuan. The Mongol army, with the generalissimo Zhu Er, who was able to conquer and fight, as the vanguard, quickly broke through Tangchang and Jiezhou, and turned the front of the army to Wenzhou, which had 8,000 defenders, but there was a fatal flaw in the defense, there was no well in the city, and the water source depended on the river that ran through the city. After the siege of the Mongolian army, the water source was cut off immediately, the 6 soldiers in the city were short of water, many people were stiff and unable to move because of thirst, the Mongolian army then attacked the city in a big way, and the Song army launched a fierce battle at the head of the city, and finally according to Zhuer personally led the death squad to use the ladder to climb the city, and even killed dozens of defenders at the head of the city to establish a position. The Mongol army then broke the city, Zhizhou Liu Rui and his two sons committed suicide and martyred the city, Wenzhou was captured in the battle, and the Mongol army first cut off his arm, and then divided his body. In the battle of Wenzhou, more than 50,000 soldiers and civilians were slaughtered by the Mongol army.

Then the broad end drove straight in, entered the Dasanguan, and divided the soldiers and horses into two roads, all the way to attack Chuzhou, all the way to attack Xingyuan.

Cao Youwen was stationed in Canzhou at this time, and the soldiers were outnumbered and could not resist, so he discussed with his brother Cao Wan, wanting to set up an ambush to wait for the enemy army with the dangerous terrain. Unexpectedly, the Mongols attacked fiercely, and a cavalry under the leadership of Wang Shixian took the lead in attacking Wuxiu Pass, crushing the troops of Li Xianzhong, the commander of Xingyuan, and occupying Xingyuan. Sichuan pacification made Zhao Yanna panic and hurriedly ordered Cao Youwen to retreat to the Da'an army.

In Cao Youwen's opinion, this is a foolish idea, Chuzhou is a mountain city, although there is no city wall, but under the one-year operation of the headquarters, many temporary fortifications have been built, and there are many passes, and there are good places to set up ambushes everywhere. The Da'an army is flat, especially suitable for cavalry combat.

However, Zhao An'an obviously put his own safety above strategic considerations, in his opinion, Da'an is the face of his own station, and only by guarding Da'an can he ensure his absolute safety. In order to urge Cao Youwen, he used the most urgent level of small red cards to appease and enable mobilization, and used red cards seven times a day to pass through, constantly urging Cao Youwen to move to the Da'an Army.

According to the personal soldiers of Cao Youwen's department, who later fled back, Cao Youwen heard the order of the pacification envoy, his eyes were tearful, and he said to Cao Wan: "Weizhou is the choke point, choking the back road of the Mongols, even if they enter Shukou, as long as the Chuzhou is still in our hands, they will not dare to go deep, not to mention that the mountains here are majestic, you and I divide the troops to guard and take care of each other, and the Mongols may not dare to attack lightly." Now the troops are moving to Da'an, the terrain is flat, the enemy cavalry is fierce and capable of fighting, and our army is small in number and can not resist at all. The big thing is gone, I don't have to hate it when I die, but what I hate is the thousand-year-old splendid and prosperous country in Shuzhong, and it will be ruined under the butcher's knife of the Tartar from now on. ”
