Chapter 395: Shadows
Wu Shaogang, who was still on the march, received an edict from the imperial court and the emperor's holy decree. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because the Yunchuan Jiedu made Wu Shaogang personally lead the army to recover Songzhou and Shaanzhou, to which Henan Road belonged, and defeated the Mongol Tatars, which greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of the imperial army, and also encouraged the soldiers stationed in Xiangyang Mansion to resist the Mongol Tatar attack, so the imperial court allocated 1,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver to the Yamen of the Jiedu envoy as a reward.
After reading the emperor's decree and the imperial court's edict, Wu Shaogang's face had no expression, and Hao Jing and Cao Wengang and others around him couldn't help but speak, the court was too stingy, and the total amount of money rewarded was only about 30,000 taels of silver.
Hao Jing also said that at least a certain official position should be rewarded.
Wu Shaogang on horseback smiled, turned his head and asked Hao Jing, he is now the Taifu of the court, the envoy of Yunchuan Festival, and a high-ranking official of Zhengyipin, if the emperor thinks about rewards, what else can he take out.
Wu Shaogang's words, Hao Jing and Cao Wengang both laughed.
However, the emperor's decree and the imperial court's edict at least showed the attitude of the capital, that is, Wu Shaogang led the army to attack Henan Road, which relieved the pressure on the imperial court and also inspired the fighting spirit of the soldiers in Xiangyang Mansion.
Wu Shaogang told Hao Jing and others that the holy decree and the edict should be suppressed and not announced to the public, and as for the officials of the DPRK and China who were waiting to announce the decree in Chengdu, they could also return to the capital to restore their lives.
At this moment, Wu Shaogang's entire energy was focused on the upcoming war, and he would not particularly care about other things.
The Intelligence Agency is still intensifying the collection of intelligence, some of the most critical information must be obtained, and the scouts are reconnoitring the entire Henan Road and Kaifeng Province to detect the traces of the Mongol army.
No matter how many people there are in the Mongolian army rushing to the aid of Henan Road, Wu Shaogang must know the path of its march, and according to his prediction, no matter who leads the troops to help, they will rush to the aid of Luoyang Mansion City at the first time.
Wu Shaogang and his army must complete the comprehensive encirclement of Luoyang Mansion before the Mongol army rushes to the aid of Luoyang Fucheng, but this time cannot be too early, too early will arouse the suspicion of the Mongol army and make it change the deployment of the battle.
Longmen Town and Yiyang County were all taken, to Wu Shaogang's surprise, these two places were almost empty cities, only a few sergeants were stationed, by asking the remaining sergeants, Wu Shaogang got the news that the sergeants stationed in many nearby cities were all transferred to Luoyang Mansion City to garrison.
This news immediately aroused Wu Shaogang's attention, and he had a hunch that the idea of an unprecedented war in Luoyang Mansion was gradually becoming fuller, and it seemed that the Great Yuan Imperial Court also had such a plan, and was gradually and rapidly shrinking its forces and holding on to Luoyang Mansion City.
In the process of resting in Yiyang County and Longmen Town, Wu Shaogang once again made an analysis, he believed that the Mongolian army galloping to the south of the Henan Road and Luoyang Mansion City must be in a hurry, the Mongolian army will judge the situation, and if there is a chance, it will fight a decisive battle with the Song army around Luoyang Mansion City, and if there is no chance, it will stick to Luoyang Mansion City and drag the Song army back.
Wu Shaogang's analysis was fully approved by Hao Jing and others.
If the situation develops in this direction, it will be most beneficial to the imperial army of Hezhou and the Dingkun army.
The scouts are getting busier, and the Intelligence Agency is starting to run at a higher speed.
Finally, two days later, the Intelligence Agency received an important piece of information. 、
The Great Yuan Imperial Court took Prince Moge as the main commander, leading the troops to aid Henan Road and Kaifeng Fucheng, and the Dayuan Imperial Court also transferred part of the new annexed army from Huaibei and other places to participate in the entrenchment of Henan Road and Kaifeng Fucheng, and the Mongolian Prince Habichi, who was stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng, was fighting with Prince Moge.
As for how many troops the Great Yuan Imperial Court has deployed, this information has not been obtained for the time being, and the scouts who reconnoitre are also facing great difficulties, because the roads are already fortified layer by layer, the Mongolian army is extremely vigilant, paying attention to any strangers, and there are almost no people walking on the official road, which makes it impossible for the scouts to mix in the people to investigate.
After getting this information, Hao Jing, Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui, Cao Wengang and others were all worried, they felt that the Great Yuan Imperial Court attached great importance to Henan Road and Kaifeng Fucheng, but Wu Shaogang was rarely relieved.
Until the army approached Luoyang Fucheng, Wu Shao just explained why he was relieved a lot, that is, Kublai Khan and the Dayuan court, in Henan Road and Kaifeng Fucheng arranged two Mongolian princes to sit in town, which seems to be highly valued, in fact, it is the biggest failure, because the two princes can not be the same way of thinking, there will be a lot of differences, and in terms of combat experience and ability, Habichi is far stronger than the last brother, but unfortunately the marshal is the last brother.
Wu Shaogang's analysis to the point made Cai Siwei and others feel a lot more relieved.
On the sixth day of the first month of March, Brother Mo arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture.
Brother Mo, who had been in the dust all the way, didn't have time to rest, and immediately began to understand a lot of situations.
The government office, the wings, Habichi and Boyan are all waiting here.
When Brother Mo entered the wing, he had a smile on his face, and the dust on his body had not been completely cleaned up.
Boyan hurriedly stood up and saluted, and Ha Bichi also reluctantly stood up and saluted to Brother Mo.
Brother Mo didn't care about Habichi's attitude, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of sticking to Henan Road and Kaifeng Fucheng, and he didn't care about those trivial matters, and he still needed Habichi's full support.
Boyan began to report the current situation in detail, and learned that Habichi and Boyan had made a decision to transfer Henan Road and part of Kaifeng Mansion to defend Luoyang Mansion City, and now Luoyang Mansion City was extremely stable, Brother Mo nodded frequently, he thought that this arrangement was very good.
However, Ha Bichi and Boyan are not very clear about Song Jun's situation, which makes Brother Mo not very satisfied.
Because of the bravery of the Mongolian iron cavalry, when the Mongol princes such as Habichi led the troops to fight, they rarely sent scouts to investigate, and they often won a big victory in battle, so they did not pay special attention to scout reconnaissance and other matters.
Brother Mo is different, he thinks that scouting is very important.
But Brother Mo will not open his mouth to reprimand, and the omissions in these aspects can be remedied immediately.
Next, Brother Mo began to elaborate, and he mainly said his own combat deployment and ideas.
According to the deployment of the last brother, 30,000 Mongolian iron cavalry in Kaifeng Fucheng fortified, waiting for the arrival of the new annex army in Huaibei, and after the arrival of the new annex army, send 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry and 20,000 new annexed troops, towards the direction of Luoyang Fucheng, if you meet the Song army besieging Luoyang Fucheng, then do your best to break through the encirclement of the Song army, and the army that is holding Luoyang Fucheng, inside and outside the Song army, forcing the Song army to withdraw, and then the army relies on Luoyang Fucheng to form a confrontation with the Song army.
Once the Song army could not hold on and chose to evacuate towards Songzhou or Shaanzhou, the army stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng was dispatched to pursue and kill the evacuated Song army.
Brother Mo's combat deployment has exceeded the deployment of Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan court, which can be regarded as a bit aggressive.
It's a pity that such a combat deployment, in Habichi's view, is just playing the piano indiscriminately.
As soon as Brother Mo finished speaking, Ha Bichi opened his mouth, and he said very politely.
Ha Bichi believes that the Song army attacking Henan Road must have made comprehensive preparations, and its combat effectiveness is very good, in this case, the army needs to launch the attack of the Song army in a steady, accurate and ruthless manner, if it is divided into troops to attack, it is very likely to encounter the counterattack of the Song army, and at that time, not only will Luoyang Fucheng not be able to keep, but will also lose part of the troops rushing to Luoyang Fucheng.
Ha Bichi suggested that if an attack on the Song army was launched, it was necessary for the whole army to attack and launch an attack with lightning speed, so that the Song army besieging Luoyang Fucheng would be caught off guard, and only by concentrating superior forces to launch a comprehensive attack could the victory of the battle be guaranteed, and it was absolutely not advisable to divide the troops into battle.
Ha Bichi's suggestion made Brother Mo blush slightly, in terms of combat, he was indeed inferior to Ha Bichi.
However, Ha Bichi's unscrupulous attitude, and even unceremoniously refuted in front of Bo Yan, also annoyed Brother Mo, although you think that Ha Bichi's suggestion is correct, Brother Mo did not express his position immediately, but calmly faced, and ordered Bo Yan to immediately send a large number of scouts to Luoyang Mansion City to investigate the situation, to see if the Song army's next combat goal is aimed at Luoyang Mansion City, if the Song army chooses to attack and occupy Ruzhou and Dengzhou and other places, then the army has much more room for maneuver, Moreover, the deployment of operations must also be adjusted accordingly.
If the Song army wanted to occupy places such as Dengzhou and Ruzhou, then after occupying Songzhou and Shaanzhou, it would not stop, but directly sent a large army to occupy these places, after all, the main forces in these places were all transferred to Luoyang Fuchengyi.
Brother Mo's arrangement is obviously to vent his dissatisfaction with what Ha Bichi and Boyan did in the early stage.
This made Habichi's face a little ugly, but he couldn't say it.
Brother Mo's face had a good look.
When Boyan left the wing, he wiped the sweat drops from his forehead, he had already sensed that something was wrong, Prince Moge and Prince Habichi were very likely to have a conflict, if the battle entered a critical time, the two princes had a difference of opinion, or even a conflict, he, the executor, would have a hard time.
According to the rules, Boyan must report this situation to the emperor and the court, but Boyan does not dare to do this, there is no impermeable wall in the world, once the news leaks out, Prince Moge and Prince Habichi will be aimed at him Boyan, and the young Boyan has no way to withstand such a major pressure.
It can only be a step at a time.
The young and wise Boyan began to rack his brains to ensure that the arrangement of every next step was foolproof.
