Chapter 456: Judgment is accurate
Hedan did take a great risk, crossed Fei County and Linyi County under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, and went straight to Haizhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, after entering Shandong, analyzing the situation in Shandong in Jinan Mansion, Hedan, who had experienced a hundred battles, was keenly aware that Wu Shaogang, the king of Wei in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Song army under his command, their main target was Haizhou.
As the most courageous Mongolian prince of the Great Yuan court, Hedan will never underestimate Wu Shaogang, after all, the Song army led by Wu Shaogang has repeatedly defeated the Mongol army, and even annihilated the most elite Mongolian heavy cavalry rushing to aid Henan.
Therefore, after careful thinking, Hedan believed that Wu Shaogang would definitely do his best to take Haizhou, and then defend Haizhou, so that the Mongol army to conquer the south fell into passivity, and the overall strategic deployment of the emperor and the imperial court was destroyed.
I remember that when I set off from Dadu, the emperor specially told Wu Shaogang that his strategy was extraordinary, and every time he sent troops was the most critical moment for the Dayuan court, so he repeatedly won the battle, which has caused huge trouble and threat to the Dayuan court, and the emperor asked Hedan to attach great importance to Wu Shaogang and the Song army under his command, and there must be no negligence.
Hedan has been galloping on the battlefield since he was a child, I don't know how many major and dangerous battles he has experienced, there have been failures, but more is a huge success, this time he led the troops to help Shandong, Hedan is with the belief that he will win.
In Hedan's view, the Great Song Dynasty has been struggling to survive, and the victory in the Battle of Dingjiazhou indicates that the Great Song Dynasty is already on the verge of extinction, unless it is a god in the sky, no one can save the Great Song Dynasty, but Wu Shaogang is different, the army under his command is unusually brave, and it is already a huge threat to the Great Yuan Court, and even has the strength to compete with the Great Yuan Court.
Under such circumstances, the main opponent of the Great Yuan court has become Wu Shaogang, not the Great Song court.
He Dan once thought of making this suggestion to the emperor, and even thought that the emperor and the sea capital of the Mobei grassland would make peace temporarily, and then concentrate his forces to exterminate Wu Shaogang, the king of the Great Song and Wei Dynasty, but the words came to his lips and did not say it.
Hedan naturally has concerns, the original battle of Xiangyang, Hedan calculated Wuliang Hetai, unfortunately was seen through by the emperor, thus losing the opportunity to lead the southern army to exterminate the Song Dynasty, now the emperor still has a shadow in his heart, in this case, Hedan is extremely careful to say anything, to prevent the emperor from being jealous.
The situation in the court has changed subtly, the power of many princes is weakening day by day, and the power of those trusted by the emperor, such as Ah Shu and others, is growing day by day.
In fact, the emperor's thoughts, Hedan knows a little.
With the rise of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the emperor's suspicion became more and more heavy, and this suspicion reached its peak when Li Pu rebelled in Shandong, first of all, the suspicion of the Han ministers, weakened the power of the Han ministers, and deprived almost all the Han ministers of military power, and such suspicions, once they appeared, it was impossible to suppress them.
The emperor's later suspicions were also transferred to the Mongols, and even to his own brothers.
After all, the emperor has learned a lesson in this regard.
When the emperor was still the prince, Meng Ke Khan also had a lot of suspicions about the emperor, and repeatedly deprived the emperor of his military power, so that the emperor was in a panic for a long time, and then Meng Ke Khan died, if it was not for the emperor to master the military power, he might not be able to ascend to the throne of the Great Khan.
Abuligo's rebellion, so that the emperor sad, many Mobei Mongolian tribe leaders attached to and supported Abuligo, but also made the emperor angry, and later Abuligo was defeated and surrendered, although he did not encounter the emperor's punishment, but Abuligo's generals, as well as some of the Mongolian tribal leaders, but encountered brutal suppression, many people were killed.
has experienced too many emperors, and is a little suspicious of anyone.
The Mongol princes who controlled the army, such as Hedan, Tachar, and Habichi, as well as the increasingly prestigious Prince Moge, would become the object of the emperor's suspicion, which was inevitable, and if there were signs of union between many princes, or even calculating the emperor's trusted people, it would be even more uneasy for the emperor.
The emperor had to rely on the people, so it was very likely that he would weaken the power of many Mongol princes, and cultivate other forces among the Mongols, and eventually be able to compete with many Mongol princes.
Under such circumstances, wouldn't the emperor be able to fully control the government.
After speculating on the emperor's thoughts, Hedan became extremely cautious, not daring to talk casually, behaving in a proper manner, while causing trouble, as for the idea that he originally planned to suggest concentrating troops to attack Wu Shaogang, he would not say it, the emperor is so wise, could it be that he can't think of this, do you need him Hedan to remind him, besides, the Mobei grassland is the holy land of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and it must not be lost, if the Mobei grassland is lost, what does it mean to the emperor, it is very clear, and ask the emperor to temporarily give up the Mobei grassland, Wouldn't it be tantamount to asking the emperor to temporarily abandon the Great Yuan Dynasty.
The speed of the march along the way was very fast.
Thinking of the war situation in Shandong, Hedan had a clear understanding, and when he thought of the affairs of the DPRK and China, Hedan was upset.
Seeing that the power of Wuliang Hetai and Ah Shu increased, Hedan was also worried, afraid that one day he would also suffer from the calculations of Wu Liang Hetai and Ah Shu.
However, the mission on his shoulders made Hedan sober and afraid.
The emperor did not send Tachar and Habichi to lead the troops to help, but asked him to lead the army, if he Hedan has a small Jiujiu in his heart, and deliberately does not go to rescue Ashu, how can the emperor not know that there is really such a situation, I am afraid that he Hedan will not only not be able to keep the rank of the prince, but even his life may not be saved.
Therefore, this time to enter the Shandong battle, Hedan must win the victory, and must get in touch with Ashu, the marshal of the southern army.
When he was still in Jinan Mansion, Hedan got a report that Ali Hague, the deputy marshal of the army of Ashu Lingzheng Nan, led an army of 50,000 to aid Haizhou City, and the 20,000 former army led by Ali Hague successfully arrived in Haizhou City.
Hedan knew the emperor's holy decree, and when Hedan led the troops to Jinan Mansion, Ah Shu was afraid that he had already led the army to march towards Lin'an Mansion, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and the credit for destroying the Great Song Dynasty court was none other than Ah Shu.
Ashu sent his deputy marshal Ali Hague to aid Haizhou, this deployment is very good, even the picky Hedan, feel that this arrangement is very safe, on the one hand, it will not affect the next battle plan of the southern army, and on the other hand, it can also protect Haizhou very well.
After entering Tai'an Prefecture, Hedan sent scouts to conduct meticulous reconnaissance and collect all information about the Song army.
Xuzhou, Pizhou, Yizhou and Tengzhou were all occupied by the Song army under Wu Shaogang, but Haizhou was still under the control of the Mongolian army, and entered the scouts of Yizhou and Tengzhou to investigate, and reported that the number of Song troops stationed in Yizhou seemed to be more than the number of Song troops stationed in Tengzhou, which further confirmed Hedan's judgment.
It seems that Wu Shaogang's expedition this time is not to occupy more places, its fundamental purpose is to face the southern army, if the connection between the southern army and the capital is cut off, Ah Shu will definitely panic, and try every means to break through the encirclement of the Song army and open up the connection with the imperial court, Wu Shaogang will take this opportunity to take action against the southern army and Ah Shu.
Affirming this thought, Hedan was very nervous, and he felt the weight of the burden on his shoulders.
After resting for only one day in the state city of Tai'an, Hedan asked the army to set off.
The staff around him suggested that they first attack Tengzhou, where the Song army was weak, but He Dan did not say anything about it, and did not even say what he really thought in his heart, but just asked the army to go towards Yizhou.
Hedan will never attack Tengzhou, that can only delay time, is it possible to wait for the Song army to occupy Haizhou, and then launch a strong attack on Haizhou, at that time the advantage has reached the side of the Song army, and Hedan is in a passive situation.
Hedan is also not ready to attack the cities of Yizhou, these cities have been occupied by the Song army, and it will definitely take a lot of time to attack the city, which is probably exactly what Wu Shaogang is looking forward to, once Hedan is dragged down, Haizhou and Haizhou Prefecture will be in great danger, and will definitely be captured by the other Song army sent by Wu Shaogang.
If such a situation really occurs, Hedan will be forced to evacuate and return to Tai'an Prefecture to hold on.
When the army entered Yizhou, Hedan once again ordered not to attack any city, and whenever it encountered a city, the army would make a detour, and not to fight the Song army, although it went in the direction of Haizhou.
When the army passed through the city of Linyi, the Song army took the initiative to go out of the city to fight, and Hedan should not fight at all, only sending 20,000 new annexed troops to resist the attack of the Song army, and he himself led the main army in the direction of Haizhou.
The staff and many officers were against it at this time, but Hedan became extremely assertive and resolute, demanding that the army go in the direction of Haizhou, and that no war should be allowed, and those who violated the order would be beheaded.
In this way, Hedan bought time, and when the army arrived in Licheng, it had already thrown off the pursuing Song army.
The scouts sent by Hedan had already entered Haizhou to investigate.
After the army said that the Xinmu River entered Haizhou, Hedan became a little more cautious and sent more scouts to reconnoitre.
After all, everything stems from the judgment made by Hedan himself, whether it is in line with the actual situation, or it is uncertain, if there is a deviation in the judgment, the situation is also very dangerous.
"Report to the marshal, the city of Haizhou has been surrounded by the Song army, and it is in danger...
Hedan on horseback, a smile finally appeared on his face, everything was in his judgment, it seems that the victory or defeat of this battle is in one fell swoop, if it can defeat the Song army attacking Haizhou, then Wu Shaogang, the king of the Great Song Dynasty Wei, will fall into a huge passivity.
"Order the army, at the speed of a forced march, towards the city of Haizhou.
