Chapter 205: The Chess Player and the Chess Piece

The evacuation of the commander made the morale of the remaining Mongolian soldiers collapse instantly, and they finally gave up resistance and began to flee in all directions, no matter how the Mongolian officers shouted, it was to no avail. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The one-sided slaughter finally began.

Du Xiaoqi and Qin Han were both killed, they didn't want to have any prisoners at all, after all, they were fighting in Huaibei, and all of them were occupied by the Mongolian army, and it was very troublesome to take prisoners, and they also had to consume food, so they desperately showed their murderous spirit to stop the Mongolian sergeants from kneeling and surrendering.

In fact, it was desperate to escape, after all, the Mongolian sergeant was facing the cavalry of the Song army, and if he couldn't escape far, he would be killed.

Finally, some Mongolian sergeants surrendered on their knees, just like a contagion, and more Mongolian sergeants chose to lay down their arms and surrender on their knees.

Du Xiaoqi and Qin Han's faces were flushed, they couldn't kill the prisoners who had surrendered, but for those officers of the Mongolian army, whether they surrendered or not, they were mercilessly killed.

The battlefield finally fell silent.

The surrendered Mongolian army was gathered together, and the total number was about 4,000 people.

When it gets dark, the cleaning of the battlefield begins.

The captured military horses were directly assigned to the sergeants of the Guards Ma Junji, the wounded sergeants, and the medical officers were busy bandaging their wounds, whether they could survive or not, it depends on the physical condition of these sergeants, after all, there are still a large number of marches and expeditions, and the corpses of the fallen soldiers are gathered together, according to Wu Shaogang's requirements, all of them are cremated, including the corpses of the Mongolian sergeants.

In the city of Qi County, the county office, the wing.

"Cangling, I can't imagine that the sergeants under your command are so brave, this battle is really too painful."

"Cangling is late, so that my father-in-law is frightened, and I am ready to accept my father-in-law's punishment."

"What kind of punishment, don't say those words, the winner is king, the loser is the villain, it's just your arrangement and deployment, I feel surprised, you are so calm, I have a feeling of despair, and I have scolded you more than once."

"What my father-in-law said is that the soldiers stationed in the city are desperate, and the Mongolian army attacking outside the city is even more focused and crazy, bent on breaking through the city, and the army led by Cangling will attack at this time, which will definitely catch the Mongolian army off guard."

"Not bad, young and calm, deployed in place, seized the best opportunity, you are greatly surpassing me, by the way, I heard that you defeated the Mongolian army in Tongchuan Mansion, so that the Mongolian general Liu Heima died in a hurry, but there is such a thing."

"It can't be regarded as a big defeat, it's just that it annihilated the 5,000 people of the Mongol front army."

"Don't say these humble words, which commander of my dynasty can destroy the cavalry of the five thousand Mongolian army in one battle, I really can't imagine that you can have such a record in such a short time when you go to Tongchuan Mansion."

Speaking of this, Li Tingzhi frowned.

"In the future, these things will still tell me, you don't go to the court, this decision is correct, I also know what you are afraid of, it seems that it is the most correct decision to let you go to Tongchuan Mansion Road, if it is in Lianghuai, some people will already be red, at this moment you are afraid that you are the same as me, don't think about seeing the sun tomorrow."

"Father-in-law, have you ever thought about how you could be besieged in this place in Qi County?"

"I've thought about it a long time ago, someone in the DPRK wants to calculate me, I have been in Lianghuai for a long time, and I don't know how many people are blushing at this position, and I don't know how many people are staring, they are all thinking about overthrowing me, and they will be able to compete for this position."

Wu Shaogang looked at Li Tingzhi, a little surprised, it seems that some of his thoughts in front of him are wrong, in fact, Li Tingzhi understands many things, but why don't he fight back, can he watch the people in the court calculate.

Wu Shaogang didn't speak immediately, he knew that Li Tingzhi still had something to say.

"Cangling, what makes me most annoyed is that some people not only want to calculate me, but also calculate you, this is to make my family completely lose hope and never come out, those who calculate will sit back and relax, I wrote to you, at that time I was still in Jiankang Mansion, did not set off, at that time I was thinking, let you go to Huaibei to conquer, but also to capture some military exploits, the Privy Council asked me to lead part of the loyal soldiers, into Huaibei, to assist Xia Gui in the battle, I felt bad, so I wrote to the imperial court, Preventing you from going to Huaibei to fight, Jiankang Mansion obviously has the imperial army, but asked me to lead the loyal army to the battle, isn't this a clear calculation, the sergeants of the loyal army do not have much combat effectiveness, how can they be the opponent of the Mongol Tartars. ”

Wu Shaogang looked at Li Tingzhi, but still didn't speak, when the naked truth was in front of him, he was a lot quieter, and his heart was surprisingly calm, calculations in this officialdom abounded, and it was even more common for you to live and die.

"I won't say much about the rest of the matter, and by the time I think about saving myself, there is no chance."

"Father-in-law, there is one more thing, you may not know, after Cangling led the troops into Huaibei, all the whereabouts of the Mongolian army were known, and the only person who knew Cangling's whereabouts was Xia Gui."

Li Tingzhi's eyes widened and he looked at Wu Shaogang.

"Cangling, there is conclusive evidence for what you said."

"There can be no evidence on the surface, but the problems we encountered along the way, as well as the deployment of the Mongolian army, all show it...

Wu Shao just described in detail all the matters encountered after entering Huaibei, and when it came to the affairs of Xigu Town, Li Tingzhi was a little anxious, but he still held back and did not interject.

After Wu Shaogang finished speaking, Li Tingzhi's face was already full of clouds.

"It seems that everything I want is reality, Cangling, I am very pleased that you can have such a unique analysis, just with Xia Gui, you don't dare to calculate me at all, and Lu Wende, the secretary of the ministry, don't dare to do it blatantly, there must be someone behind them, as for who it is, I can't judge, but their calculation this time is doomed to failure, because they completely underestimate your ability."

"Father-in-law, it's better to be careful, Cangling thinks that Huaibei can't be defended, and after this heavy loss, the Mongolian army may mobilize more troops to come, and at that time, we will be in danger."

"What you said is, in fact, many days ago, I knew that Huaibei could not be defended, Huainan is destined to bear huge pressure, judging from the situation you just said, Xigu Town must send a large army to help, can not delay time, once the Mongolian army in Sizhou is completely defeated, we will evacuate towards Huainan, let the imperial court clean up this mess."

"My father-in-law plans to evacuate from somewhere and return to Huainan."

"Of course, from the direction of Mengcheng, there is no way out in other places, and it is impossible to evacuate, hmph, isn't there still a Mongolian army stationed in Mengcheng, I want to see if the Mongolian army dares to block the way of my army on this road."

Cangling thought the same.

When Wu Shao was just about to stand up and deploy the matter of Xigu Town, Li Tingzhi waved his hand and signaled that he was not in a hurry.

"Cangling, I didn't answer the question you just raised, that is, the matters that need to be careful in the court, in fact, I have long wanted to tell you about this matter, at that time, I was thinking that you were too young, and after a while, I couldn't think of your old age and wisdom, which is not something that ordinary people can imagine, so I still want to tell you, this matter in the court is indeed very complicated, you fight for me, busy and happy, today you take the stage, tomorrow I laugh, some people are happy, some people are sad, some people are soaring for this, some people are ruined, In fact, they fought back and forth, and in the end, they all became other people's pawns. ”

"Cangling, to put it more directly, you and I are chess pieces, being waved around by others, sometimes it seems to be successful, but it is just what we do, in line with the requirements of the chess player, once we go against the will of the court, it is very likely to be abandoned and become a waste, so a lot of things, don't take it too seriously."

Wu Shaogang blinked, hesitated slightly, and spoke categorically.

"Father-in-law, Cangling has some different views, one of them, this chess player plays chess, the chess pieces that should be discarded must be discarded, in order to win the whole game, this is expected, but if the chess player's scheming is too heavy, resulting in the loss of the chess pieces, then he will lose, what qualifications do he have to play with the opponent, so the chess player can not do as he wants."

"Second, the chess players and the chess pieces are mutually contained, although the chess players have absolute initiative in control, but they are dependent on each other, but there is one exception, that is, the chess players do not want to win at all."

Li Tingzhi's eyes became deep, and he looked at Wu Shao for a while before he slowly spoke.

"Cangling, what do you want to say, you shouldn't be thinking about being a chess player?"

"Father-in-law, what's wrong with this, if the chess player has no belief in winning, all he thinks of is to steal peace, regardless of the life or death of the chess pieces, is it difficult to wait for death if he doesn't become a chess piece?"

Li Tingzhi's face changed several times, looked at Wu Shaogang, and spoke with a solemn expression.

"Cangling, in fact, when you chose to go to Tongchuan Fu Road, I was a little suspicious, I didn't want to stay in such a prosperous and rich place in the capital, but I wanted to go to the remote Tongchuan Fu Road, but I tried to calm myself, thinking that you were for meritorious service, in order to be able to have outstanding military exploits, I let you go, that is, I wanted you to suffer hardships, and finally return to the capital obediently."

"Unexpectedly, Liu Quan's rebellion was completely extinguished, and Liu Quan himself was captured alive, and was finally beheaded by the imperial court to show the public, at that time, I still thought that your ability was good, and you must be a pillar of the court in the future."

"If there is no battle today, I will unceremoniously reprimand you for being arrogant, worried that you will bring the families on both sides into the abyss of destruction, but today's fighting, including the situation in Huaibei, has made me see a lot of things clearly, and I have figured out a lot of things, you are so dazzling, sooner or later you will encounter calculations, some calculations you can resist, and some calculations are helpless."

"If the official family notices you, then I'm afraid you will really be cornered."

"You have such thoughts, don't have the slightest leakage, think that my Great Song Dynasty, when it was first founded, it also experienced a lot of things, but you have to remember that you are on a road of no return, and after you stumble, you will never recover."

"I don't want you to go down this path, but I know that I can't completely dictate your thoughts, so you have to do it yourself."

。。。

After Li Tingzhi finished speaking, Wu Shaogang replied with a smile on his face.

"Father-in-law doesn't need to be so cautious, Cangling is just saying that in case of something that cannot be resisted, Cangling can at least protect the family and family members from being calculated by others in vain."

"Cangling, it's not as simple as you think, since you have decided to be a chess player, it will take a long time to plan, in fact, many adults in the court have seen it, one day, the Mongolian army will cross the Huai River in great strides, at that time, how will the imperial court respond, is it difficult to relocate to the sea, if you don't want to succumb to the iron hooves of the Mongols, then you need to have ideas that ordinary people dare not have, and you must be ready for everything."
