Chapter 430: Rendezvous
After the issuance of the edict of the Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army stationed on the Jingnan Road, under the leadership of Ah Shu, began to attack the Jinghu South Road, and its key target was Ezhou, and the deputy envoy of Jinghu South Road, Ezhou Zhizhou Gao, also began to resist the Mongol army.

Wu Shaogang is quite critical of Jia Rudao's arrangement, at this time, Gao Gao is still the deputy envoy of Jinghu South Road to pacify, and he would rather let the position of the pacification envoy of Jinghu South Road be vacant than let Gundam control more power, you must know that the difference between the pacification envoy and the pacification deputy envoy is very big, the pacification envoy has the power to arbitrarily act on the spot, especially in wartime, but the pacification deputy envoy does not have such power.
In Wu Shaogang's opinion, Gundam was already the only imperial general who could command a large army to contend with the Mongols.
The time of life and death of the Great Song Dynasty has come, and at this time, it should be the time for the Manchu Dynasty to work together and unite with the outside world, but unfortunately Jia Rudao still firmly controls the power, not only personally controlling the army of the three divisions in front of the palace, but also refusing to use capable people to fight against the Mongol army.
Under such circumstances, if the Great Song Dynasty does not accelerate its demise, God will not tolerate it.
At the beginning of May, Cai Siwei, Zhang Jue, Chang Mingquan and Zhang Shijie led 100,000 soldiers from the Hezhou Imperial Army, Xingyuan Mansion Imperial Army and Jinzhou Imperial Army to march towards Monan, and the 100,000 soldiers were all cavalry and elite.
Wu Shaogang's order had two parts, one was to completely occupy the resistance controlled by the former Western Xia within the year, and the other was to let 100,000 elite soldiers become iron cavalry in the Monan grassland, and they would be able to defeat the Mongolian iron cavalry face to face in the future.
Teng Greer and others also followed the army into the Monan grassland to fight.
The Monan grassland mainly refers to the Inner Mongolia region and part of Mongolia after a thousand years, while the Mobei grassland is the majority of Mongolia after a thousand years, as well as the Siberian region, and the main birthplace of the Mongolian Dynasty is the Mobei grassland.
In terms of conditions and climate, the Monan grassland is stronger than the Mobei grassland, but on the grassland, a large number of deserts and Gobi exist, and the climate of sandstorms and blizzards is also frequent.
Wu Shaogang knew very well that the Dingkun cannon could only be used to attack the city and pull out the village, or to fight in a prepared place on the plain, and it could not play a role in the pursuit war, and the decisive battle with Kublai Khan in the future must have a lot of rapidly moving pursuit battles, which requires the soldiers of the imperial army of Hezhou, the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion and the imperial army of Jinzhou must have extremely excellent combat ability and be able to fight face-to-face with the Mongolian iron cavalry.
After several battles, the soldiers under the command of Wu Shaogang already had sufficient confidence in victory when facing the Mongol army, which was very crucial, and on the basis of confidence, it became very critical to improve their combat capabilities.
The Central Plains and the south cannot really sharpen the army, only by letting them enter the steppe to fight, can these soldiers be truly sharpened into iron cavalry like Mongolian soldiers.
With sufficient self-confidence and a substantial increase in combat capability, when the real decisive battle comes, Wu Shaogang will definitely be able to achieve the final and decisive victory.
This is also the detailed analysis made by Wu Shaogang, and it is also the reason why Li Tingzhi and others support it.
It is impossible for the Great Yuan Dynasty to destroy the Great Song Dynasty in a short period of time, it will take at least a few years, during which Wu Shaogang is making final preparations while sharpening the sergeants, of course, the follow-up strategy is already in Wu Shaogang's mind.
At the end of May, the Mongolian prince Moge, as an envoy of the Great Yuan court, came to Kaifeng Fucheng.
At this time, it was only a little more than a month since the Great Yuan court issued the edict of the Song Dynasty.
Wu Shaogang, Li Tingzhi and Brother Mo are already old acquaintances, this time, Hao Jing, Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Wenqian, Xu Heng and Dou Mo and others are all ready to meet Brother Mo, after all, Wu Shaogang has been canonized as the King of Wei, and his identity is completely different from before.
Of course, in the capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty, there are Yao Shu and others, who are also interested in King Wei.
Prince Moge came to Kaifeng Mansion as an envoy, and proved the judgment of Wu Shaogang and others step by step, it seems that Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan Dynasty have begun to speed up the pace of implementation in accordance with their own plans, and Moge came to Kaifeng Fucheng, which is one of them.
From the moment he entered the Kaifeng Mansion City, Brother Mo was silent.
Brother Mo is no stranger to Kaifeng Mansion City, not long ago, he was also the supreme commander here, leading 80,000 troops to aid Kaifeng Mansion and Henan Road, but in a year, he came here again, and things are not people.
When he came here, Kaifeng Mansion was depressed, and many people chose to leave here for fear of the attack of the Song army, especially some Mongols and Semu people, and at that time, the end of the brother was concerned about the battle with the Song army.
The bustling crowd, the rows of shops, and the soothing expressions of the people on the street gave Brother Mo greater stimulation.
The construction of the outer city of Kaifeng Mansion City surprised Brother Mo even more, he couldn't figure out why so many people flocked to Kaifeng Mansion in less than a year, so that today's Kaifeng Mansion City formed a difference between heaven and earth a year ago.
At this time, Brother Mo had to think about a question that he had never dared to think about, that is, who did this world belong to, before coming to Kaifeng Mansion this time, despite the fiasco, Brother Mo thought that the world still belonged to the Great Yuan Court, as long as the Great Song Dynasty was destroyed, the Mongolian army turned around, and the Song army under Wu Shaogang could be completely wiped out.
But seeing the scene of Kaifeng Fucheng, Brother Mo's belief was shaken.
This is the will of the people, and Wu Shaogang has won the support of the people.
Mo Ge is different from the Mongolian princes such as Hedan, Habichi and Tachar, after all, he mainly does things in the imperial court, and he is also concerned about the people's livelihood, and the emperor's trusted prime minister Ahma levied heavy taxes on merchants and the people, the purpose was to maintain the expenses of the Mongolian army, which also led to the depression of the Central Plains and led to the disgust of the people, but the strong Yuan court did not care about all this.
Now, Wu Shaogang, who is also a strong soldier, was born out of thin air, won the support of the people, and gradually encroached on the Central Plains, and fought against the Great Yuan Court, Brother Mo is clear, even if the Great Yuan Court attacks with all its might, it may not be able to defeat Wu Shaogang and the Song army under his command.
The official post of Kaifeng Mansion is in the north of the Marshal's Mansion of the original capital, that is, in the north of the Wei Palace, and the distance is not very far.
Brother Mo and his entourage were arranged to rest at the official post.
After only resting for a day, Brother Mo was taken to the Wei Palace.
When entering the reception room, Brother Mo first saw Li Tingzhi, Hao Jing, Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Wenqian, Xu Heng and others, and Hao Jing and others, who used to be the emperor's right-hand man, have now become Wu Shaogang's henchmen.
Brother Mo couldn't even pretend to be a reluctant smile.
Hao Jing and the others, when they saw Prince Moge, greeted him calmly.
When Wu Shao first entered the reception room, Brother Mo and his party had already sat down.
Wu Shao just walked quickly in front of the last brother who stood up.
"Uncle don't be polite, the luncheon has been arranged, just in the mansion, Akecha knows that his uncle has come to Kaifeng Mansion, he is very happy, he must do the east to entertain his uncle, I will accompany him, I don't talk about political affairs today, it is a family matter, my father-in-law and Lord Hao and others, I won't introduce it, my uncle is familiar with it. . . ."
Wu Shaogang had a smile on his face, and this smile was not faked.
I don't know why, Brother Mo's heart moved, and a smile appeared on his face.
Wu Ruirui, who was already four years old, was taken out.
Brother Mo came to negotiate on behalf of the Mongolian court or the court of the Great Yuan Dynasty several times, and the happiest time was when he met Wu Ruirui, after all, this was the daughter of Akecha, and she was regarded as her own granddaughter by Brother Mo.
Wu Ruirui has received a lot of love in the mansion, and she often has a smile on her face, and everyone loves her.
What is surprising is that Wu Ruirui actually knew Brother Mo, who had not seen much of him, and took the initiative to stroke Brother Mo's beard.
Brother Mo picked up Wu Ruirui, hurriedly took out a small brocade box from his arms, and handed it to Wu Ruirui.
At this moment, Brother Mo's lips were trembling, holding Wu Ruirui, not knowing what he was thinking.
Although Wu Ruirui, who is not very young, is curious about the brocade box, and a pair of small hands groped to open the brocade box.
A soft glow emanated from the open brocade box.
Inside the brocade box is a huge, flawless pearl of the night.
Wu Shaogang shook his head when he saw it, and Li Tingzhi and the others were even more surprised, such a huge, flawless night pearl was worth at least 10,000 taels of gold, and the congratulatory gift that Brother Mo gave to Wu Ruirui was too valuable.
Wu Ruirui probably knew that the contents of the brocade box were not ordinary, and after Brother Mo helped cover the brocade box, he handed it to the maid next to him to help hold it.
The luncheon was ready, and everyone went to the dining room.
Wu Shaogang and Brother Mo walked in the front, and Brother Mo still hugged Wu Ruirui.
"Uncle's age is not young, it's time to enjoy the joy of family, I know that my uncle's children are all on the battlefield, and my uncle can't enjoy these for the time being, but there is always an end to the expedition, and Akecha also said, no matter what kind of situation he encounters, his uncle is always an uncle, and Akecha will definitely do his filial piety. . . ."
Wu Shaogang's words were meaningful, and Brother Mo's body trembled slightly, looking at Wu Ruirui in his arms, and did not speak.
When drinking, Brother Mo was very bold, and he clinked glasses with Li Tingzhi, Hao Jing and others, and they all drank it all.
Brother Mo was old and soon got drunk, and Akocha personally arranged for Brother Mo to rest in the mansion.
After the banquet was over, smiles appeared on the faces of Li Tingzhi, Hao Jing and others, they knew that the negotiations had not yet begun, and Wu Shaogang was already standing on the commanding heights.
