Chapter 406: The Lost Dog
It took four days, running all the way, and finally returned to Kaifeng Fucheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Brother Mo locked himself in the room and didn't see anyone, Ha Bichi was drinking with a blue face, and if he was a little unsatisfactory, he beat and scolded the guards around him, and Boyan was responsible for collecting the escaped sergeants and returning to Kaifeng Fucheng.
Six days later, Boyan finally returned to Kaifeng Mansion City, bringing news that made Mo Ge and Ha Bichi almost desperate.
The sergeants who fled back were less than 30,000, most of them were newly attached sergeants, 30,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, almost all of them were wiped out, and 5,000 heavy cavalry were really annihilated.
Such a fiasco has not yet appeared in the Great Yuan Dynasty.
It's like a dream, Brother Mo can't believe it, and Habichi can't believe it.
The real problem is in front of us, with less than 30,000 remnants of the defeated generals, how to resist the attack of the Song army, and the Song army still has an unknown weapon, if this sharp weapon bombards the city of Kaifeng, I am afraid that no one can resist.
No one will take the initiative to mention this matter, in their opinion, the fall of Kaifeng Mansion is already a reasonable thing.
What made Mo Ge and Ha Bichi and others even more chilling was that the combat effectiveness of the Song army in Sichuan was beyond their imagination, and at this time, I am afraid that the army that concentrated in the imperial court may not be able to defeat the Song army in Sichuan.
What's more, there are so many Song troops in the south.
Is the ambition of the Great Yuan Dynasty to unify the world really to be completely crushed by the Song army in Sichuan?
In the two days that he was stuffed in the house, Brother Mo had already written the recital, and he was ready to take all the responsibilities, as the commander of the army, as the Mongolian prince in charge of all matters in the Central Plains, this was the responsibility he had to bear.
The task undertaken by Brother Mo was originally to stabilize the situation in the Central Plains, so that the army led by Hedan could attack Xiangyang Mansion with peace of mind, but now, all this is gone, if Wu Shaogang leads the army and continues to attack Kaifeng Mansion, then the entire Dayuan Imperial Court will be shaken, and whether the emperor decides to give up attacking Xiangyang Mansion is also uncertain.
In his opinion, no matter what kind of suggestions Habichi and Boyan put forward, it was his last brother himself who made the final decision, if he had made the strategic deployment and carried out in accordance with the emperor and the imperial court, it would have been impossible to have today's fiasco and irreparable situation.
In the face of Brother Mo, Habichi and Boyan have nothing to say, they are also aware of the consequences of this defeat, and they also don't know how to save the current rout.
At this moment, Brother Mo can't leave, he must wait for the emperor's will in Kaifeng Fucheng, not to mention Habichi and Boyan and others, fortunately, the young Boyan knows the importance of Kaifeng Fucheng, and sent a large number of scouts to reconnoiter the news in the direction of Luoyang Fucheng to see if the Song army is quickly killed.
The Song army did not immediately launch an attack on Kaifeng Fucheng, which made Brother Mo and others feel strange.
The government had fallen into a deathly silence, almost all the officials knew the news of this fiasco, and the sergeants stationed in the barracks outside the city were even more depressed, they were in a panic, they did not know when the Song army would be killed, and they did not know if they would be able to live.
It took two days to clean up the battlefield.
The casualties of the imperial army of Hezhou and the Dingkun army were not very large, and the number of killed and seriously wounded did not exceed 5,000, which is really nothing, you must know that they defeated the 80,000 Mongolian army.
The captured Mongolian army was close to 20,000 people, which made Cai Siwei a headache, and it took time to screen these Mongolian sergeants.
Fortunately, with Teng Geler, who has been promoted to the deputy commander of the Urging Front Army under the Hezhou Imperial Army, Cai Siwei has a lot less trouble.
In fact, before the war, Cai Siwei was still a little worried about Tenglere and others, after all, they were Mongolians, and when facing the Mongolian army or the Mongolian iron cavalry, would they fight back, but Cai Siwei's worries were superfluous, Tenggeler and others fought unusually bravely, and they charged and fought mercilessly, so after thinking about it carefully, Cai Siwei handed over the task of screening Mongolian iron cavalry sergeants to Tengler.
It wasn't until the screening was almost carried out that Tenggeler told Cai Siwei that in fact, it was very simple to screen the sergeants of the Mongolian iron cavalry, depending on their background, if they were from ordinary families, they could be absorbed, but those officers and sergeants who were born in the family of the eunuchs, or even the family of the Mongolian tribal leader, could not be absorbed, and it was best to be killed.
To Cai Siwei's surprise, the nearly 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry sergeants handed over to Tengler, were actually killed by Tenggal, and nearly 2,000 were killed by Tengele, and the rest of the sergeants were basically incorporated into the army.
Cai Siwei was afraid for a while, and hurriedly reported this information to Wu Shaogang.
Wu Shaogang did not blame Tengler, but met with Tengele and talked for a full hour, and when Tenggel left, his eyes were red.
After a long time, Cai Siwei and others understood that the Mongolian tribe was not monolithic, and those people at the bottom of the tribe lived in a very difficult life, and they would be bullied at any time, and even the women in the family were also humiliated by the powerful, and they did not dare to have any dissatisfaction, otherwise the light ones would be beaten and disabled, and they would not be able to do anything.
Teng Geler is the son of an ordinary tribal family, his family has been bullied by the powerful, and he has a fierce grudge against the Mongolian magnates in his heart, so he will mercilessly kill the children of those powerful people.
After the battle was cleaned up, only three days later, some defeated Mongolian soldiers entered the city and persuaded the Mongolian soldiers in the city to surrender.
When it was dark, the city gate of Luoyang City was opened, and all the Mongolian soldiers stationed there walked out of the city in a neat line.
Wu Shaogang's soldiers occupied Luoyang Mansion City without blood, this thousand-year-old ancient city, has been preserved to the greatest extent.
Cai Siwei's screening of the Mongolian army sergeant is progressing very quickly, he thinks that the army is about to attack the Fengfu, but don't waste time, who knows that at this time, Wu Shaogang suddenly decided to temporarily truce, the army rested in the area of Luoyang Fucheng, Cai Siwei, Chang Mingquan and Zhang Shijie led some of the sergeants to recover other states and counties under the jurisdiction of Henan Road.
This decision made many people feel incomprehensible, but no one objected, and they all did what Wu Shaogang asked.
Jiedu envoy Yamen also received Wu Shaogang's order, and the Yunchuan Academy sent a group of officials to enter Henan Road.
Li Siqi also rushed to Henan Road, and according to Wu Shaogang's request, he would stay in Luoyang Fucheng in the future, and be responsible for the command of Henan Road, Jingzhaofu Road, Lintao Road, Qingyuan Road, and Fengxiang Road.
Wu Shaogang made this decision suddenly, and even Hao Jing and others didn't quite understand it.
Luoyang Mansion City, Mansion Office, Wing Room.
Hao Jing's face was a little red, and he looked at Wu Shaogang.
"Lord Hao, you have said everything that should be said, and I am very dissatisfied with the decision I made, which I can understand."
"My lord, the lower officials still understand it this way, the Mongolian army has been defeated, and it is no longer able to defend the Kaifeng Mansion City, and the Lord will lead the army to capture the Kaifeng Mansion City, which will greatly boost morale, and the heroes of the world will be under the command of the Lord.
Wu Shaogang's face was very calm, looking at the excited Hao Jing, you must know that Hao Jing is rarely excited.
"Lord Hao, what you said is right, I have thought of these things, if we wave the Kaifeng Mansion at this moment, we will definitely be able to take it, as for the world's heroes, it is also possible, however, there are three questions, if you can answer me to my satisfaction, I will send troops to capture Kaifeng Mansion."
Hao Jing looked at Wu Shaogang and didn't care about it.
"Even if your lord says yes, the lower official will try his best to answer."
"The first question, after we captured Kaifeng Fucheng, how to treat this city, Kaifeng Fucheng is the capital of my Great Song Dynasty, it was occupied by the Jin State, how many people think about being able to recover, but more than a hundred years have passed, the imperial court is weak, unable to recover Kaifeng Fucheng, and let the people die, once we recover Kaifeng Fucheng, is it not for the emperor to move to Kaifeng Fucheng, if you don't want the emperor to relocate, then we are not openly rebelling."
Hao Jing was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"The second question, once we capture Kaifeng Fucheng, the threat is the entire Central Plains, including Shandong and Dadu and other places, will not be peaceful, will Kublai Khan sit idly by, will he send a large army to fight a decisive battle with us, if the Mongolian army chooses to fight with us, then can we still defend Kaifeng Fucheng safely."
Hao Jing looked at Wu Shaogang, but still didn't answer.
"The third question, the Mongol army is attacking Xiangyang Fucheng, and the focus of their strategy is still Xiangyang Fucheng, I can predict that even if there is a fiasco on Henan Road, Kublai Khan will still not change his determination to attack Xiangyang Fucheng, but he may send an envoy to Luoyang Fucheng again, negotiate with us, and put forward the conditions that make us tempted, and give up attacking Kaifeng Fucheng, which indicates that this Kublai Khan will recognize our strength."
"If we attack Kaifeng Mansion immediately, are we trying to force Kublai Khan to shift his strategic focus to us and let go of the Great Song Dynasty?"

Sweat drops were already forming on Hao Jing's forehead.
Wu Shaogang fully understood what he meant, the so-called two tigers must have one injury, if you can do it when you see a good thing, let the other two parties fight desperately, you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait until both sides are defeated, at that time to attack, wouldn't you be able to get the best effect.
At this moment, it is undoubtedly the Great Song Dynasty that will benefit.
This is not in the interests of Wu Shaogang.
Hao Jing thought for a while and saluted Wu Shaogang.
"My lord's hard work, the lower officials understand, and the lower officials will definitely persuade many officials not to mention the matter of attacking Kaifeng Fucheng."
Wu Shaogang looked at Hao Jing and nodded solemnly.
Hao Jing undoubtedly took the responsibility on himself, so that Wu Shaogang could be freed.
After all, such thoughts must never leak out. (To be continued.) )
