Chapter 397: Confrontation in Intelligence (2)
Brother Mo's painstaking efforts to attach importance to intelligence matters have been rewarded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wu Shaogang and the Song army under his command did not harm the people in the area of Henan Road, which gave Brother Mo a great opportunity to get a great opportunity to send out scouts from Kaifeng to mingle among the people and investigate the situation of the Song army.
On the tenth day of the first month of March, the new annexed army of Lianghuai arrived in Kaifeng Fucheng and was stationed in the military camp outside the city.
The 80,000 troops all arrived and gathered in Kaifeng Fucheng, but the specific combat deployment has not yet been determined.
On March 13, information came from the direction of Luoyang Fucheng that the Song army had surrounded Luoyang Fucheng, and its total strength was estimated to be more than 50,000, and the number of cavalry was quite large.
On March 15, more accurate information came that the total strength of the Song army besieging Luoyang Fucheng was estimated to be about 80,000.
In the face of these key pieces of information obtained, Habichi was also impressed, feeling that he was still inferior to Brother Mo in this regard.
However, while obtaining information, Ha Bichi also ridiculed Wu Shaogang's indecision, how to fight like a little woman, and also considered the safety of the people, and was unwilling to hurt the people, which made the intelligence of the army leak.
When Habichi said this, Brother Mo didn't react.
Maybe Brother Mo sees it the same way, at the critical moment, don't think about the people's affairs.
In terms of how to fight, Brother Mo has not made a decision for a long time, which makes Habichi a little impatient.
There was a great controversy between Moge and Habichi about how to deploy the battle.
Brother Mo thought that it was still necessary to follow the deployment of the emperor and the court to hold back the Song army, and at the same time, report the information of the Song army to the emperor and the court, even if he wanted to launch a general attack and completely defeat the Song army, he would have to wait for the emperor's holy decree.
Habichi thinks that this is completely unnecessary, he first analyzed from the strength of the troops, the total strength of the Mongolian army is close to 100,000, the Song army is only 80,000, the strength of the advantage, and nearly 100,000 Mongolian troops, there are 30,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, this is the elite army of the imperial court, and the Song army besieged Luoyang Fucheng, for the defense of the Mongolian army, it is impossible to be perfect, as long as the 80,000 Mongolian army launched a general attack on the Song army, then the Mongolian sergeants stationed in Luoyang Mansion City also launched an attack on the Song army, Then you will definitely be able to defeat the Song army completely.
Brother Mo hesitated, in terms of commanding operations, he was inferior to Habichi, and the emperor also said that in terms of how to fight, it was necessary to listen to Habichi's opinions.
If you report to the emperor and the court at this time, you will definitely lose the fighter.
After all, Brother Mo is a Mongolian prince, and his innate aggressive personality makes him shake.
The deliberations were held in the wing room of the government office.
In order to be able to keep it secret, Brother Mo ordered the captain of the personal guard to personally guard the outside of the wing room, and no one was allowed to approach, and those who could enter the wing room, that is, Habichi and Boyan, and even those in the army, the head of ten thousand households and the marshal of the capital, were not allowed to approach.
The map on the table has been densely marked, and the sand table in the middle of the room is also full of flags.
These are all marks of the location of the Song army, and the path of the Mongol army's upcoming attack, etc.
Ha Bichi has been looking at the map and sand table for a long time, and in his heart, he admires Brother Mo's attention to intelligence, otherwise these maps and sand tables do not exist, and Brother Mo's thoughts are also shaken, which makes Ha Bichi see hope.
Boyan stood aside, his face solemn, after all, it was rare for him to participate in such a major discussion.
There was silence in the room for a while, but it was Brother Mo who spoke first.
"Brother Habichi, Boyan, you all know the things discussed today, I still have some concerns about taking the operational deployment of a full-scale attack, Wu Shaogang is not a simple person, I have been in contact, he will not take such a risk, knowing that my army is rushing to the aid of Luoyang Fucheng, and he still puts on such a posture, if it is not unprepared, how can it be possible...
Brother Mo's words triggered Boyan's thinking, but Habichi didn't think about it so much.
"Dashuai, I don't think so, Wu Shaogang's bravery, but it is a rumor in the court, when Wu Shaogang led the Song army, defeated Wuliang Hetai, this is a fact, but also because the claw brothers are light to the enemy, this time our preparation is sufficient, and we are facing the best situation, as long as we can defeat Wu Shaogang and the Song army, we can completely calm the situation here, we can even lead the army, in one fell swoop, attack Sichuan, recover Chengdu Fulu and other places, such merits and opportunities, if you miss it, I won't forgive myself.,I'm afraid it's hard to forgive myself even if I'm handsome.。。。 ”
Ha Bichi's words made Brother Mo frown, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Finally, Brother Mo looked at Boyan.
The young Boyan has won the trust of the emperor, and Brother Mo's opinion of Boyan is also good, young and calm, which is the hope of the future of the Dayuan court.
"Boyan, what do you think?"
Boyan's face turned a little red in an instant, although he had some thoughts in his heart, but Boyan didn't plan to say it, after all, his qualifications were not enough, and his identity was a thousand households, not as good as those ten thousand household chiefs in the army.
But Brother Mo asked, he had to say.
"Dashuai, Lord Habichi, his subordinates are still thinking...
"Boyan, you are a Mongolian man, don't say these things, what do you think, just say it, Dashuai and I won't blame."
Boyan let out a long breath and slowly spoke.
"The subordinates feel that the analysis of the prince of Habichi is good, the opportunity is indeed rare, the Song army under the command of Wu Shaogang is only 80,000 people, regardless of its combat effectiveness, the strength does not occupy any advantage, if we take a defensive strategy, it is very likely that the Song army will retreat with all its strength, if the troops are insufficient, it is difficult to pursue the retreating Song army, not to mention, the subordinates believe that the Song army should also deploy a certain number of troops in Songzhou.
Boyan's analysis is much stronger than Habichi's.
Brother Mo nodded slightly.
There was also a rare smile on Habichi's face.
After Boyan finished speaking, Ha Bichi followed and spoke.
"Dashuai, don't be afraid of Wu Shaogang and Song Jun...
Brother Mo's expression changed instantly.
As an envoy, he went to Sichuan to negotiate, but he encountered Wu Shaogang's calculations, which was a shame for Brother Mo, but the simple-minded Habichi always had no intention of mentioning this.
Boyan on the side found that the situation was not right, and hurriedly spoke.
"The marshal is in charge of the overall affairs of Kaifeng Mansion and Henan Road at the behest of the emperor, and he has to be cautious, and the emperor and the court mean to stick to the help, if it is not a rare opportunity, his subordinates also think that they cannot make up their minds."
Habichi also knew that he was wrong, so he hurriedly spoke.
"Dashuai, I don't mean that, I mean, such a good opportunity, you can't lose it, otherwise it's a pity, and Boyan is right, after all, there are 80,000 Song troops under Wu Shaogang, and there are still a lot of troops, and the Mongolian soldiers stationed in Luoyang Mansion City are only more than 10,000 people, and they are all newly attached troops, if we only send 20,000 to 30,000 troops to help, the total strength is about half of the Song army, if Wu Shaogang chooses to evacuate quickly, then we will lose the opportunity to encircle and annihilate them, Presumably, the emperor and the court know this, and they also want to blame us... ”
Habichi's words are good.
Brother Mo also has a fire in his heart, he wants to vent all the time, and the objects of venting are Wu Shaogang and Song Jun.
Habichi and Boyan have been in Kaifeng Mansion for more than three years, and they understand the situation here, and the strategic deployment made by the emperor and the imperial court is only in Dadu, and they are not very clear about the actual situation here.
Seeing that Brother Mo still hadn't been able to fully make up his mind, Habichi finally couldn't help it.
"Dashuai, we are all Mongolian men, think about how difficult the situation was when we were in the Mongolian steppe, facing the attack of Jin and Da Liao, but at that time we Mongolian men were not afraid of anything, and finally defeated Liao and Jin, now, we are strong and strong, why do we start to become cringe, Dashuai, I don't know if you still have the blood of the Mongols, if you are afraid, let me lead the army to the expedition, whether it is victory or defeat, I will want the emperor and the court to report everything, Even if I don't be this prince anymore, I have to completely defeat Wu Shaogang and Song Jun... ”
Brother Mo's body trembled, and when Habichi said this, he seemed calm.
I think that at the beginning, Brother Mo was also a Mongolian man, but after a long time in the court, Brother Mo was sharpened to be cautious, and he began to look ahead and think too much about things, after all, in the court, many things must be paid attention to, and if you are not careful, you may fall into a place of no return.
Now it is a battle, a face-to-face battle with the Song army, and if it still follows the practice in the DPRK, it will delay the big thing.
Brother Mo's eyes looked at the map again, at the map he had almost engraved in his mind.
Finally, Brother Mo withdrew his gaze and looked at Habichi and Boyan.
"I agree to attack on all fronts and completely defeat the Song army, but the relevant tactical arrangements must be careful, our combat purpose is to completely defeat or even annihilate the Song army, not to let the Song army evacuate, Brother Habichi, how to lead the troops to fight, you have more experience, I will give you half a day to determine how to attack."
"Boyan, you need to worry about food and grass and other matters, and you must not delay the attack of the army."
After Habichi and Boyan left the wing, Brother Mo fell into deep thought.
Soon, Brother Mo walked to the table, picked up the brush, and began to write.
After it was written, Brother Mo frowned and looked at it, tore it up, and after writing it again, Brother Mo still tore it up, and in the end, he sighed and stopped tearing up the last written paperwork.
The captain of the guard entered the wing.
"Take good care of this recital, don't let anyone see it, wait for my notice, once I notify you, you have to send it to Dadu as soon as possible and present it to the emperor."
