Chapter 245: Breaking Through (1)
The Mongolian army outside the city has been evacuated, but Zhang Jue still doesn't dare to open the city gate easily, no one knows if this is a trap set by the Mongolian army, for Zhang Jue, who has not known the outside world news for a long time, everything needs to be careful.

An hour later, the envoy sent by the reinforcement army arrived, and Wu Shaogang's warrant also reached Zhang Jue's hands.
Everything is clear, before the Hezhou Imperial Army attacked Chengdu Prefecture, Wu Shaogang had already sent the sergeants of the Hezhou Imperial Former Army to Fuyu Mountain, and ordered the main force of the Xingyuan Imperial Army stationed here to aid the Bazhou Prefecture, this time Wu Shaogang's order was also very simple, requiring Zhang Jue to leave a small number of sergeants to garrison the Bazhou Prefecture, and the rest of the army pursued the evacuated Mongolian army, which could not let the Mongolian army get the slightest peace.
Seeing Wu Shaogang's warrant, Zhang Jue's face turned slightly red, it turned out that Wu Shaogang knew everything he did secretly, but he didn't expose it.
At this moment, Wu Shaogang's image has produced a new change in Zhang Jue's heart, a young commander has made many battle and tactical arrangements, which can be described as leaky, and every step is completely in place, which is not just a coincidence, it requires careful thinking and super wisdom.
There was almost no hesitation, Zhang Jue made the next arrangement, the original sergeants stationed in the city of Bazhou, still stayed in the city, resting and holding on, Zhang Jue himself led the 20,000 soldiers who came to help, and immediately pursued the evacuated Mongolian army.
Liu Yuanzhen's whole person has become numb, and he knows very well what it means to lose Chengdu Fucheng.
Evacuate Bazhou Prefecture and go in the direction of Chengdu Fucheng, this is Liu Yuanzhen's instinctive choice and decision, in fact, this decision has encountered a lot of opposition, especially the strategists around him, who think that it is not the best choice to go to Chengdu Fucheng at this moment, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover Chengdu Fucheng in a short period of time, and the army should go in the direction of Xingyuan Fu, stabilize in Xingyuan Fu, and then report the battle situation of Chengdu Fulu to Kublai Khan, waiting for Kublai Khan's next order.
Liu Yuanzhen would never agree to this plan, he knew very well what it meant to lose Chengdu Fucheng and many Fuzhou counties on Chengdu Fulu, and the civil and military officials under his command, including the strategists, could still find other ways out, but he, Liu Yuanzhen, was going to lose everything, even his own life.
Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, Liu Yuanzhen has no hesitation.
Whether he can recover Chengdu Mansion City, Liu Yuanzhen has no bottom in his heart, but if he evacuates to Xingyuan Mansion and sees that the Song army completely occupies Chengdu Mansion Road, then he Liu Yuanzhen is ready to commit suicide to apologize.
Liu Yuanzhen knew that the advice of his advisers and officers was right, and concentrated the army in Xingyuan Mansion and waited for the order of the Great Khan Kublai Khan, believing that Kublai Khan, who had learned of the battle on the Chengdu Fu Road, would definitely send a large army to recapture the city of Chengdu.
Countless frustrated emotions struck, so that Liu Yuanzhen couldn't rest well, and he was always in a state of excitement.
The recital to the Great Khan Kublai Khan has been sent, and it is an urgent recital.
On the other hand, Liu Yuanzhen urged the army to speed up the march, and he thought about what to do before the arrival of Kublai Khan's edict, at least the army under his command had already surrounded the city of Chengdu and was trying to minimize the losses.
A letter to the Yunnan garrison was also sent, and it was necessary to prepare for the worst at this time, as once the Song army completely occupied the Chengdu Fu Road, the army stationed in Yunnan would be in danger.
The speed of the march of the army was very fast, retreating from Bazhou to Langzhou, but in two days, so that when the army that came to help met with it, it had not yet been able to enter the territory of Bazhou, and as for the sergeants coming from other directions of Bazhou, they had to speed up the pace of the march in order to catch up with the army that was marching rapidly.
The sergeant reconnaissance sent along the way was just a formality, and it was impossible for the army to slow down the pace of the march, and Liu Yuanzhen's goal was very clear, from Langzhou to Longqing Mansion, through Dezhou and Hanzhou, into Chengdu Mansion, and besiege Chengdu Prefecture.
In fact, Liu Yuanzhen was also very cautious, afraid of being ambushed by the Song army, but the army of more than 30,000 under his command was also Liu Yuanzhen's greatest confidence, he did not believe that the Song army had such a ability and dared to encircle and suppress such a huge army led by him.
Until entering Langzhou, there was no Song army found along the way, but a scout from the direction of Bazhou, reporting to the 20,000 Song troops who rushed to the aid of Bazhou Prefecture, and pursued behind them.
This made Liu Yuanzhen, who was in remorse, a little relieved, he had not yet paid attention to the 20,000 Song troops chasing behind him, he was worried that the Song army that occupied Chengdu Fucheng, if he took the opportunity to expand the results of the battle and extend its tentacles to Fuzhou County, which was a lot of Chengdu Fulu, then the situation would be a little troublesome.
It seems that the old habits of the Song army have not been changed, and after occupying a certain city, they like to indulge in victory, like to hold on, and are unwilling to expand their territory to a greater extent.
Longqing Province, Zitong County.
Longqing Mansion belongs to the government under the jurisdiction of Lizhou East Road, which has been occupied by the Mongolian army for several years, and has always been under the jurisdiction of Chengdu Fu Road, and its north of Lizhou, east of Langzhou, west of Longzhou and Mianzhou, are occupied by the Mongolian army, and the Tongchuan Mansion in the south is still occupied by the Mongolian army.
No one thought that in less than ten days, the imperial army of Hezhou had already taken Pengzhou, Hanzhou, Mianzhou and Longqing Mansion in one go, as for the rest of the Fuzhou counties under the jurisdiction of Chengdu Fulu, Hao Jing, who stayed in Chengdu Fucheng, was making many arrangements and recovering many places step by step.
In fact, being able to occupy Longqing Mansion very quickly has a lot to do with the many arrangements made by Wu Shaogang in the early stage, and the Hezhou Imperial Front Army stationed in the eagle's beak has long become an iron tongs, firmly restraining Hanzhou, Mianzhou and Longqing Mansion, etc., coupled with the people-oriented policy strategy implemented by Li Siqi, the deputy envoy of Tongchuan Road Defense and the prefect of Tongchuan Prefecture, has attracted a large number of people to enter the Tongchuan Mansion Road.
At this moment, taking these places quickly is just a matter of course.
County office, wing.
Wu Shaogang's face was calm, looking at Wang Shisan, who was reporting the situation in detail.
The general situation is clear, the Mongolian army led by Liu Yuanzhen has withdrawn from Bazhou and marched rapidly in the direction of Langzhou, the marching speed is very fast, and the army in front of the Xingyuan Mansion is under the control of the army led by Zhang Jue, and the pursuit is also very fast, but Liu Yuanzhen did not pay attention to Zhang Jue who was pursuing behind.
Wu Shaogang originally chose to set up an ambush in Xishui County, which is under the jurisdiction of Langzhou, to encircle and suppress Liu Yuanzhen and the army under his command, but because Liu Yuanzhen's speed was too fast, he had to choose to encircle and suppress in Zitong County.
The situation reported by Wang 13 at this moment is the choice of the ambush location.
The ambush site is thirty miles away from Zitong County, which is a very open place, and it is also the place where the official road passes, and it is the place where Liu Yuanzhen must pass through to Chengdu Fu Road.
It was not the best choice to set up an ambush in an open place, but this was Wu Shaogang's decision, and he decided to completely defeat Liu Yuanzhen in an open area, so that the new annexed army would fear the imperial army of Hezhou from the heart.
The sand table placed in the middle of the wing room has well outlined the topography and landform of the ambush site.
According to the calculation of time, there are still about three days to go, and Liu Yuanzhen and his army should arrive in Zitong County.
After Wang Shisan's report was completed, Du Xiaoqi made some additions.
After the two of them finished speaking, Wu Shaogang looked at the two of them and spoke.
"Immediately send a letter to Zhang Jue, the commander of all the imperial armies in Xingyuan Mansion, ordering them to speed up the pace of marching, and be sure to arrive in Zitong County on July 30, no later than the first day of August, to participate in the battle to encircle and suppress Liu Yuanzhen and his army, if there is the slightest delay, I will not be polite."
The faces of all the people in the wing room are relaxed, and they successfully won Chengdu Fucheng, Hanzhou, Mianzhou and Longqing Mansion, etc., so that everyone feels that a comprehensive victory is coming soon, and the Hezhou Imperial Army has experienced a lot of conquests, especially in the expedition in Huaibei, so that the combat effectiveness of the army is more powerful, and everyone believes that the battle after three days can also achieve a complete victory, and can also completely destroy the Mongolian army under Liu Yuanzhen.
Wu Shaogang also thought the same way, he knew that the morale of everyone was high, and at this time, there was no need to hit everyone's morale, after all, high morale was a necessary guarantee for victory in battle.
"I know that you are all ready for everything, holding back a lot of strength, that is, to annihilate the Mongolian Tartars under Liu Yuanzhen, but I still want to remind you that we must not take any battle lightly, and we must deal with it with the posture of a lion fighting a rabbit, the Mongolian army under Liu Yuanzhen has also experienced a lot of battles, and its combat ability is good, but we can't cause it to flee because of our carelessness and negligence."
"All the Mongolian sergeants who surrender are not allowed to be killed, the Hezhou Imperial Army needs to expand the ranks on a large scale, and those who are willing to surrender are the source of our expansion of the troops.
"In this battle, Cai Siwei, who is under the command of all the armies in Hezhou, is still the commander-in-chief, commanding the army to fight, and you must obey the command of Cai Du's command and fight hard."
"After the Hezhou Imperial Army and the Xingyuan Mansion Imperial Army reconciled, Cai Siwei was still in charge of commanding, and after the battle, the Xingyuan Imperial Army was still stationed in Bazhou and Hezhou."
"As for the Hezhou Imperial Army, the main force is determined to be stationed in Chengdu Fucheng, Tongchuan, Luzhou, Jiading and other places are in need of garrisons, I have written to the emperor and the imperial court, and reported that the Hezhou Imperial Army took Chengdu Fucheng at the same time, but also put forward many suggestions, presumably the emperor and the Privy Council will agree."

Wu Shaogang's eyes were full of confidence, and he had already seen the grand blueprint gradually unfold. (To be continued.) )
