He Dan looked at the map on the wall, and he didn't say a word, and Ah Shu, who was standing behind him, although his face was a little anxious, he couldn't help but not speak. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Finally, Hedan turned around and spoke to Ah Shu.

"Deputy marshal, isn't the army's food and grass a little nervous?"

"Report to the commander, the grain and grass can still last for three months."

"Three months, the time is too short, we can't take Xiangyang Mansion City in three months, these attacks, the losses are still quite large, I think we need to rest for a while, we can't blindly attack, that will make the Song army in the city desperately resist, send the messenger to the city to persuade surrender, what news is brought back."

Ah Shu's face sank again.

"The envoy's ears were cut off, and Lu Wenhuan had no intention of surrendering at all."

He Dan looked at Ah Shu and smiled.

"What, didn't Lu Wenhuan think that the toughness at this moment might be exchanged for the burning of his jade in the future."

"Lu Wenhuan probably thinks that the Great Song Dynasty can still give him support."

He Dan shook his head, turned around, and watched as Ah Shu spoke.

"The emperor and the court have done their best, we have consumed too much food, and we have to find a way to raise some grain and grass by ourselves, I think so, you lead 20,000 soldiers, waiting for the opportunity to attack Jinghu North Road, mainly to collect grain and grass, of course, you can also loot the young and strong population, replenish the army, most of the places on Jingnan Road are occupied by us, continue to collect grain and grass from these places, the possibility is not too great."

Ah Shu was stunned for a moment, and quickly spoke.

"Marshal, subordinates feel that the task of the army is to capture Xiangyang Fucheng, this attack on Jinghu South Road, the marshal said a few days ago, at that time, his subordinates thought that it was to cut off the road of the Song army to aid Xiangyang Fucheng, if it was to collect grain and grass, his subordinates felt that it was not necessary, and in doing so, it was possible to disperse the forces attacking Xiangyang Fucheng."

Hedan looked at Ah Shu. A smile appeared on his face.

Ah Shu has been following him for nearly two years, this young man has a flexible mind, brave in battle, and has a very good ability to make decisions, not much worse than Wuliang Hetai, such a young man is the hope of the Mongolian court.

Hedan has a good impression of Ah Shu, regards Ah Shu as his junior, and takes care of Ah Shu on weekdays, giving Ah Shu the right to lead the troops to fight alone, which makes Ah Shu speak bluntly in front of Hedan.

"Ashu, in the future, you will always go to the court, there are some things you have to understand, this is conducive to you to be able to better gain a foothold in the court, you are right, our responsibility is to conquer Xiangyang Fucheng, but we have besieged Xiangyang Fucheng for three years, two years, spent a lot of time and grain and grass, the emperor and the court are still unswervingly supporting, what does this mean, it shows that the location of Xiangyang Fucheng is extremely important, it must be taken, since it is a long-term expedition, there are some difficulties and problems, We have to solve it ourselves, don't always stretch out our hands to the court, everything we do here, the emperor and the court are aware. ”

Speaking of this, Hedan patted Ah Shu on the shoulder.

"Look at things farther, don't always stare at Xiangyang City."

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will lead the troops to conquer Jinghu South Road, and they must raise enough grain and grass."

"Well, the people in the south are relatively wealthy, don't be merciful, the more ferocious our attack on Jinghu South Road, the more it can make the Great Song Dynasty feel afraid, the attack after the beginning of the year, the loss of the new annexed army is a little large, this attack on Jinghu South Road, don't forget to loot some young and strong, it is best to be able to replenish the new annexed army, even if it can't be replenished, you can also be used as a coolie in the army, as for other women and children, you can do it yourself."

Ah Shu nodded, this time he conquered Jinghu South Road, of course, not only to loot grain and grass and young people, but also to rob some women and children, the meaning of this is very clear, the army is conquest, it is impossible for the sergeant to carry his family, it has been so long, the sergeant always needs to vent, the women and children who looted are just to solve this problem, but this matter is not good to hear, so as the commander of the Prince of Hedan, will not say it.

Two days later, Ah Shu had made all the preparations, and what he didn't expect was that Hedan actually allocated 20,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, and he commanded the attack on Jinghu South Road.

The Mongolian iron cavalry was transferred, every sergeant was very excited, it has been three years to attack Xiangyang Fucheng, two years, except for the beginning of the attack, captured a lot of cities on the southwest road of Beijing, and got a lot of benefits, and then besieged Xiangyang Fucheng, there was no victory in the battle, and the money could not be looted, and it was fixed in the place, these sergeants have long been a little hairy in their hearts, this time they went out to conquer, and at the same time they broke through the city, they were able to get a lot of money and food.

The bravery of the Mongolian Tatars is well known to all, and the cruelty of the Mongolian Tatars is even more famous.

Hedan picked up the wine bowl in his hand and spoke loudly to the many sergeants.

"Ben Shuai believes in you, will be able to return triumphantly, when the time comes, Ben Shuai is still here, specially for you to celebrate, you brothers drink this bowl of Zhuangxing wine, all the way to play a triumphant song, may you be like the world's eagles, spread your wings and soar."

Thunderous voices appeared, but they were all answered in Mongolian.

With a comfortable smile on his face, Hedan gulped down the bowl of wine, and then slammed the bowl to the ground.

The crisp sound came and went, all of which were the sound of everyone smashing bowls after drinking.

The army was ready to set off, and Hedan called Ah Shu aside and watched the army set off slowly.

"Ah Shu, about the attack on Jinghu South Road, did you report to the emperor?"

Ah Shu's body trembled, and he hurriedly clasped his fists at Hedan and saluted.

"The subordinates did report to the emperor and the court, but the subordinates did not report to the marshal in time, this is the mistake of the subordinates, and the marshal is also asked to punish him, and the subordinates have no complaints."

He Dan looked at Ah Shu, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes.

"There's nothing to blame, it's a good thing for you to be so cautious, but sometimes, don't be too cautious, you are probably influenced by your father, think about how brave the head of Wuliang Hetai was back then, he led the army to conquer several times, and won the trust of the imperial court, that is, because he got too much trust, he would encounter setbacks later."

Ah Shu lowered his head and whispered.

"When his subordinates followed the marshal on the expedition, my father once warned his subordinates to obey the command of the marshal, and to report more when they encounter things, especially major things, they must report to the court. . . ."

"Your father was too cautious, or did the previous events affect him too much."

When he said this, Hedan looked at Ah Shu.

"Ah Shu, it's not that you are wrong to report the attack on Jinghu South Road to the emperor and the imperial court, according to the road, such a major matter should be reported to the imperial court, but why didn't I report it, I was afraid that the news would leak out, you don't underestimate those Han ministers in the imperial court, they are too cunning."

"Will be outside the king's order, every decision we make, is based on the development of the war, some decisions need to be kept secret, must not leak the news, wait until our action begins, and then report to the emperor and the court, it is not too late, fortunately, the scouts have been investigated, there are not many Song troops stationed on Jinghu South Road, if the news leaks out, the Great Song court is prepared, then your expedition may not be able to achieve the goal."

Ah Shu lowered his head and listened, his heart was very fluctuating, he knew that Hedan was teaching him, how to command the army to fight, how to grasp the fighter plane, how to ensure the secret of the action, this time he decided to report to the emperor and the court without authorization, it was indeed wrong.

After Hedan finished speaking, Ah Shu clasped his fists and saluted again.

"The commander's teachings, the subordinates remember, this time it is all the mistakes of the subordinates, the subordinates must lead the army to victory and raise enough grain and grass."

"Okay, I believe you can do it, but you remember that in the process of conquest, you still have to pay attention to collecting intelligence, and for those Han people who are willing to submit to us, we still have to use them, and don't kill them all, which will make the Han people join forces against us."

"Subordinates remember."

After seeing Ah Shu lead the army away, Hedan's face quickly changed.

Back in the city, Ah Shu ordered no one to disturb him, and stayed alone for more than an hour.

A man in black enters the chamber.

He Dan looked at the man in black and spoke expressionlessly.

"Send this letter to Dadu as soon as possible and give it to Prince Mogo, you remember, you are not allowed to let anyone know."

The man in black nodded, took the letter and turned to leave.

After the man in black left, a sneer appeared on Hedan's face and he muttered to himself.

"Wuliang Hetai, you also underestimate my Hedan, think that if you control Ashu, you will be able to gain power, you also think that it is too simple, if you are ruthless, don't blame me for being unrighteous...

The army stopped its assault on Xiangyang Fucheng, and calm returned to the surroundings.

At this time, Hedan seemed to be much more relaxed, and went out to inspect every day, either to see how the training of the navy was, or to see if the Mongolian iron cavalry was slack, and more officers came to report the relevant situation to Hedan.

The news of Ah Shu's leading troops to the expedition, most of the officers are aware, and everyone is also a little strange, the battle situation is at a critical moment, and it is said that Ah Shu, as the deputy marshal, should stay in the camp.

The surroundings of Xiangyang Mansion City have quieted down, and Xiangyang Mansion City has also become quiet.

Almost every day, Hedan had to go to the forward position to observe the situation in Xiangyang Fucheng, such an observation seemed dangerous, and the officers and staff under his command were dissuaded one after another, but Hedan was unmoved, and still observed every day.

The report from Jinghu South Road was quickly sent to the camp, and the army led by Ah Shu went very smoothly, and successively entered Fuzhou and De'an Mansion and other places, plundering a large amount of money and grain, as well as a lot of people.

He Dan doesn't seem to be particularly concerned about these war reports. (To be continued.) )
