Chapter 255: Dilemma

Although he did not go to Bazhou, Zhang Jue had long known that the Mongolian reinforcements had come in the direction of Chengdu Fu Road. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The desire to participate in the war is still strong, Zhang Jue even made all the preparations, led the Xingyuan Mansion Imperial Army stationed in Hezhou to join the battle, the entire Chengdu Road was recovered, and many Fuzhou counties to which Lizhou East Road belonged were also recovered, this is a huge victory, the joint operation of the Hezhou Imperial Army and the Xingyuan Mansion Imperial Army this time, the results achieved are outstanding.

Zhang Jue believes that the emperor must also be happy, it will not take long, the holy decree will be issued, the imperial army of Hezhou and the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion will be rewarded, and now the Mongolian Tartars will send reinforcements to attack Lizhou East Road and Chengdu Fu Road, the Privy Council will definitely dispatch armies from all sides to meet the battle, and the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion and the imperial army of Jinzhou stationed in Sichuan is even more obligatory, he also believes that Wu Shaogang will not hesitate to dispatch the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion again and strike a hard blow to the Mongolian reinforcements. Although the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion had already participated in the battle some time ago, the losses were still somewhat heavy, and they needed time to recuperate.

The emperor's decree and the edict of the Privy Council did not come, Wu Shaogang's order did not come, and Yu Xing, the envoy of the Sichuan system, wrote a letter, in terms of affiliation, there was no direct relationship between Zhang Jue and Yu Xing, and the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion belonged to the Privy Council and did not obey the mercy of the locality, that is to say, Yu Xing should not write to him Zhang Jue.

After reading the letter, Zhang Jue fell into hesitation.

Yu Xing's letter actually talked about the affairs of the imperial armies of Xingyuan Mansion, although it was in the tone of a suggestion.

Yu Xing's meaning is very clear, the Mongolian Tatars came again in a big way, wanting to attack Chengdu Fu Road, the main task of the Xingyuan Mansion Imperial Army and the Jinzhou Imperial Front Army is to protect the safety of Lizhou East Road, do not take the initiative to attack.

Yu Xing is not qualified to direct the imperial armies of Xingyuan Mansion, but since he has sent a letter, he should be authorized.

Zhang Jue's main attention was focused on the six words not to take the initiative.

The meaning of this has been very clear, that is, the imperial armies of Xingyuan Mansion and the imperial armies of Jinzhou should not participate in this battle, and the emperor and the Privy Council will never authorize Wu Shaogang to dispatch these two armies.

Zhang Jue's mood is anger, endless anger.

The Mongol Tartars had already come to Chengdu Fu Road in a menacing manner, but the imperial court did not allow the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion and the imperial army of Jinzhou stationed in Sichuan to participate in the battle, but let the imperial army of Hezhou resist alone, what does this mean.

At the critical moment, the upper and lower levels could not defend themselves against foreign enemies, but they calculated with each other.

After experiencing the battle to recover Chengdu Fulu, Zhang Jue left Wu Shaogang with respect and admiration, and he also fully experienced the courage of the Hezhou Imperial Army, especially in the battle of Zitong, seeing that the Mongolian Tartars under Liu Yuanzhen were beaten by the Hezhou Imperial Army without the strength to fight back, and finally collapsed, that comfortable feeling was never there.

Anger turned to anger, and Zhang Jue had to take care of the letter written by Yu Xing.

Nearly 30,000 soldiers of the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion were stationed in Hezhou and Bazhou, according to Yu Xing's meaning, the soldiers of Bazhou need to be withdrawn to Hezhou, so that it can be safer, but so stationed, how to protect the east road of Lizhou.

Zhang Jue believed that the capital of the imperial armies in Jinzhou must have also received Yu Xing's letter.

If he ignored Yu Xing's suggestion and forcibly participated in the battle, Zhang Jue understood that after the battle, he would not want to continue to be the commander of the imperial army in Xingyuan Mansion, and even not to think about continuing to serve as the governor of Hezhou.

But if you follow Yu Xing's suggestion, trouble also exists, watching the Hezhou Imperial Army go to fight, desperately fighting with the Mongol Tartars, the Xingyuan Mansion Imperial Army responsible for defending the territory is indifferent, after the battle, the impeachment of all parties will flock in, so that Zhang Jue and the Xingyuan Mansion Imperial Army can not resist.

What does this kind of arrangement mean and who is behind it, Zhang Jue can't judge in a short time, but as a general of the Great Song Dynasty, he will not endure such torture.

After thinking about it for two days, Zhang Jue finally made a decision, a bold and dangerous decision.

After writing the letter, Zhang Jue asked the guards to go to Chengdu Fucheng immediately to deliver the letter, and the letter must be delivered to Wu Shaogang's hands, and no one should see the letter.

The guards left Hezhou Prefecture, Zhang Jue breathed a sigh of relief and began the next deployment and arrangement.

Wu Shaogang received Zhang Jue's letter in mid-August, and the intelligence bureau collected information that Mongolian reinforcements had entered Fengzhou, where Lizhou West Road belonged.

"Alas, Zhang Jue's arrangement completely disrupted our deployment, in the final analysis, this is the imperial court's own doing, but it is impossible for the Hezhou Imperial Army to ignore it."

Hao Jing's brows were already furrowed.

"My lord, I really didn't expect that Zhang Jue still has a bloody nature, according to the arrangement of the imperial court, all the imperial armies of Xingyuan Mansion needed to be evacuated to Hezhou, but Zhang Jue actually led all the troops and all entered Bazhou, so didn't they catch up with the Mongolian army that came to help."

Wu Shaogang nodded and spoke.

"Under such circumstances, the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion is likely to encounter the danger of annihilation of the whole army without any foreign aid support, if this situation really happens, even if we defeat the Mongolian army that came to help, it will be regarded as a failure, and we can't watch the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion being completely wiped out."

"What my lord said is that his subordinates suggested that Zhang Jue and the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion be stationed in Pengzhou, so that the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion can be protected, as for Zhang Jue thinking about participating in the battle, this is a good thing, and the adult can fully mobilize the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion to participate in the battle at the right time."

"Mr. Hao's arrangement is good, but unfortunately it's too late, Wuliang Hetai and Zhang Rou and others are not vegetarians, I'm afraid they have already detected the movements of the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion, Chengdu Mansion is nearly seven hundred miles away from Bazhou, I'm afraid that when we arrive in Bazhou, the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion has been completely surrounded by Mongolian reinforcements."

"My lord, the imperial army of Hezhou has made all the preparations, if the combat deployment is changed temporarily, the consequences are unpredictable, not to mention, it may also lead to problems in all the arrangements for this operation."

Wu Shaogang sighed helplessly.

"The deployment of the operation must be adjusted, otherwise the consequences will be more unpredictable, once the Xingyuan Mansion Imperial Army is completely defeated by the Mongolian army reinforcements, they will definitely be greatly boosted, and their own strength will also be enhanced, now the only thing we can hope for is that the Xingyuan Mansion Imperial Army can try to resist the attack of the Mongolian reinforcements, I hope they rely on the city of Bazhou Prefecture, resist the attack of the Mongolian reinforcements, and wait until we rush to help."

Hao Jing bowed his head and stopped talking.

No one is perfect, in fact, he also understands the helplessness in Wu Shaogang's heart, when Wu Shaogang arranged the deployment of the Hezhou Imperial Army to ambush the Mongolian reinforcements at the Jianmen Pass of Longqing Mansion, how could it be a little selfish consideration, after all, after the Mongolian reinforcements entered the Lizhou West Road, the most likely route to choose was to enter the Chengdu Fu Road from the Xingyuan Mansion, Bazhou, Lizhou and Longqing Mansion on the Lizhou East Road, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army of the Xingyuan Mansion stationed in Bazhou will definitely face the Mongolian reinforcements.

If the imperial armies of Xingyuan Mansion flee without a fight, the situation that may arise later is that Wu Shaogang directly controls the remaining imperial armies of Xingyuan Mansion, and then the imperial court has nothing to say.

It is a pity that the emperor and the imperial court have thought of this, and it is difficult to come forward in person, so they entrusted Yu Xinglai, the envoy of Sichuan Province, to issue an order, requiring all the imperial troops of Xingyuan Mansion to be stationed in Hezhou, so that they can stay away from the war.

However, Zhang Jue was a member of the Great Song Dynasty and was unwilling to dodge at all, because Yu Xing asked the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion to protect the safety of Lizhou East Road in his letter.

It can be said that Wu Shaogang's previous arrangements and deployments almost failed, and he did encounter a sudden change.

Zhang Jue's willingness to take the initiative to participate in the battle is a good thing for Wu Shaogang and the Hezhou Imperial Army, but the sudden adjustment of the operational deployment, there is always something that needs to be re-planned, which requires the Xingyuan Imperial Army led by Zhang Jue to be able to really resist the brave Mongolian reinforcements, and wait until the Hezhou Imperial Army is fully aided.

has been by Wu Shaogang's side for a long time, and Hao Jing still understands his thoughts, but he won't say these words.

Seeing that Hao Jing lowered his head and didn't speak, Wu Shaogang showed a smile on his face, but there was helplessness between the smiles.

"Mr. Hao, many of my thoughts, you are also clear, many times are decisions made in desperation, I hope you can understand, I thought of the emperor, thought of the court, and even thought of the Mongolian Tartars, but I ignored one thing, that is, my Great Song Dynasty still has brave generals, or there are people who are not afraid of death, but it is a pity that these people have almost no foothold in the court, if they can be reused, the original Jin State, and now the Mongolian Tartars, how can they be arrogant."

Hao Jing's thoughts were seen by Wu Shaogang, and he didn't show any surprise.

"The arrangement and deployment of the adults, the subordinates are clear, the subordinates do not think how much helplessness, this battle, the subordinates believe that they will be able to win, but the next adults need to think about more problems, once the Hezhou Imperial Army defeated the Mongolian army that came to help, what kind of arrangements will the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan make, Chengdu Fu Road, Tongchuan Fu Road, Lizhou East Road and Lizhou West Road will encounter more wars, whether they will fall into endless wars, if there is really such a situationIt's also bad for adults. ”

"What Mr. Hao said is that I have already thought about this, so let's wait until this battle is over before thinking about it." (To be continued.) )
