Chapter 66: The Old Trick Repeats Itself

In the first year of Jingding, the fifth day of the seventh month, Zhenzhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the temporary Chinese military tent, Lu Xiufu, Zhang Binghui, Ma Long, Qin Han, Wang Shisan, Du Xiaoqi, Tan Mazi and others stood solemnly on the left and right, looking at Wu Shaogang at the top, according to the information obtained, the Mongolian mission will enter the territory of Zhenzhou today.

The operation must be carried out quickly, at the latest tonight, the Mongol mission is also equipped with two horses, the march speed is very fast, if there is a slight delay in time, then the Mongol mission may enter the city of Zhenzhou, then it will not be easy to do.

There are several documents on the copy, these documents have been sorted out by Lu Xiufu, and their contents are all about the situation of the Mongolian mission, among which two points are particularly eye-catching, one is that the Mongolian mission is very well equipped with weapons, and the other is that the Mongolian mission's route of travel is along the official road, and never take other roads.

This shows that all the actions of the Mongol mission were very cautious, they were always on guard, they did not believe that the Southern Song Dynasty court would treat each other politely, and they swaggered into the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty from the official road, just to publicize it so that everyone could know the news.

Judging from the information obtained, the operation is very difficult.

Wu Shaogang commanded a total of fifty-two people, among whom Lu Xiufu could not participate in the battle, and those who could be put into the battle, that is, fifty-one people, they had to pay more than the Mongolian mission armed to the teeth, and the twenty-five retinues of the Mongolian mission were afraid that they could also participate in the battle at a critical moment.

How to attack, how to arrange the troops, tested Wu Shaogang.

As the supreme commander of this operation, Wu Shaogang had no way out but to find a way to completely exterminate the Mongol mission.

Half an hour had passed since the deliberations, and almost all of them had suggested an ambush, a surprise attack on the Mongol mission.

Wu Shaogang denied this suggestion, the surprise attack can indeed ensure the victory of the battle, but it may not be able to guarantee the safety of the Mongolian envoy Hao Jing, if Hao Jing is killed in the melee, it means that the combat mission is completely defeated, and take the action of sneak attack, Wu Shaogang can not occupy an advantage in the army, and he does not dare to guarantee that he can completely annihilate the Mongolian mission, if in the course of the battle, someone escapes, returns to the north to report the news, it will cause a big incident, according to Kublai Khan's character, maybe he will attack the Great Song Dynasty.

A sneak attack is definitely not a no-go.

Looking at the people who had quieted down, Wu Shaogang pointed to the northwest direction on the map and slowly spoke.

"This is the Mochou Valley in Zhenzhou, and it is also the only place for the Mongolian mission to enter Zhenzhou, our operation is carried out in the Mochou Valley, and we must completely annihilate the Mongolian mission in the Mochou Valley."

"Yesterday, General Zhang Bu has led the sergeants to investigate, the terrain of Mochou Valley is as follows, the valley is four hundred steps long, the width is one hundred steps, the road in the valley is straight, there are some trees, but they are not very big, all sides of the valley are hills, the terrain is gentle, such a place can not take the way of ambush warfare, the Mongolian mission enters the Mochou Valley, you can see everything around you clearly."

"We will defeat and annihilate the Mongol mission head-on in the Mochou Valley, and exchange the smallest casualties for the greatest victory."

"Remember, this operation must be kept secret, and there must be no leakage, and violators of military law will be dealt with."

"The area around Mochou Valley is inaccessible and there are few pedestrians, which is conducive to our actions, you all remember that if you find an outsider in the process of fighting, no matter what your identity is, you will be killed."

No one objected, and in the face of such a major combat mission, there was no need to be overly concerned about other details.

"The mission led by the Mongolian envoy Hao Jing entered the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, according to reason, there should be a team to meet him, but the imperial court did not make arrangements, so this task will be completed by us, Lu Xiufu, Zhang Binghui and Qin Han, follow me to meet this Mongolian envoy Hao Jing, and the place where we greet them is located in the Mochou Valley."

Speaking of this, Wu Shaogang looked at Lu Xiufu.

"There is also one of the most critical tasks, that is, to inform Hao Jing in advance and inform him that the welcome team sent by the imperial court will contact him in Mochou Valley, this task is very important and related to the success or failure of our entire operation."

Lu Xiufu had already expected himself to undertake this task, and after Wu Shaogang finished speaking, he stood up in the ranks.

"Vice Admiral Wu is willing to undertake the task of reporting in advance."

Wu Shaogang nodded slightly.

"Very good, you are in charge of this task, after you meet the Mongolian envoy, you can simply inform us of the situation of the waiting procession, clearly tell Hao Jing how many of us are and where they will wait, I think after you see Hao Jing, it is impossible to leave, you will definitely follow their team to act together, the Mongolian mission will never rest assured of us, will take you as a hostage, so you must be improvised, do not let them have the slightest suspicion."

Wu Shaogang picked up a document from the table and handed it to Lu Xiufu.

"This is the edict of the Privy Council, which can indicate your identity, I believe that Hao Jing will dispel most of his doubts when he sees this document, but your attitude is still very important, don't show nervousness, but don't be too easy-going, our plan of action, you know everything, after arriving in Mochou Valley, I will take Zhang Binghui, Ma Long and Qin Han and others to meet the Mongolian envoy Hao Jing, at that time is the official start of our operation, you can follow me at that time."

Lu Xiufu took the edict and opened his mouth to answer.

"I will not fail in my mission."

"Okay, the success or failure of this attack depends on your performance."

Seeing Hideo retreat to the left, Wu Shaogang's gaze looked at Ma Long.

"All the sergeants waiting in the Mochou Valley, you must be prepared for everything, Ma Long, these sergeants are all under your command, you must remember, there must be no mistakes, after we control Hao Jing, you must act immediately, kill all the personnel of the Mongolian mission, leave no one alive, you remember, I only ask about the result, there is no need for the process, no matter how many casualties, the completion of the combat mission is the first, if you are wounded or even killed, and cannot command the battle, then Du Xiaoqi will command the operation, Wang 13 and Tan Mazi, as reserve candidates, Always ready to command operations. ”

"If you are no longer able to command the battle, you must appoint personnel and continue to command the battle."

Ma Long, Wang Shisan, Du Xiaoqi and Tan Mazi have already come out and hugged Wu Shaogang together.

It was Malone who spoke.

"My subordinates will do their best to annihilate the Mongolian mission."

After the deployment was arranged, the rest of the people left the Chinese military tent, and Lu Xiufu stayed.

"Brother Lu, do you feel that my arrangement is too insidious?"

Lu Xiufu was stunned for a moment, and quickly spoke.

"It's true that it's a bit unrighteous, but in order to be able to complete the combat mission, I can't do so much."

"You can think like this, I am very pleased, I thought you were a scholar, you would not be used to such an arrangement, I didn't think you could accept it, okay, this time you went to contact Hao Jing, there are many dangers, I originally planned to send Zhang Binghui to follow you, but finally gave up, Zhang Binghui's temperament is not good, he looks like a soldier, this will arouse Hao Jing's suspicion, you are a jinshi, you have the temperament of a scholar, I believe Hao Jing will rest assured."

"Vice General Wu, rest assured, I will definitely do a good job."

"Well, I believe you can do a good job, but one thing you must remember, when you get to the Mongolian mission, you must not take any action, your task is to lead the Mongolian mission into the Mochou Valley, so that they can relax their guard as much as possible, and you don't need to ask about the rest of the things, sometimes, the opportunity that appears in front of you is likely to be a trap set by Hao Jing, if you are fooled, then our entire battle plan will be in vain."

The reason why Wu Shaogang emphasized this point in particular was because of his understanding of scholars.

Lu Xiufu carried out this task with ambition, eager to make great contributions, but did not take into account the overall action, and the consequences caused by it, which is likely to lead to the action being forced to change, although Wu Shaogang was ready for everything, but he was unwilling to take action to appear other branches.

Lu Xiufu's face was slightly red, probably because Wu Shaogang had made his mind right.

"Brother Lu, remember what I said, don't take any other measures, even if you can directly capture Hao Jing alive, don't do it, our main goal is to completely annihilate the Mongolian mission and completely block the news, if it is because of the capture of Hao Jing alive, the action will be exposed, once the Mongolian Tartars in the Mongolian mission withdraw at full speed, our pursuit will be very difficult."

When Wu Shao just said this, Lu Xiufu finally nodded.

"I understand it, I must do what Vice General Wu asks."

After everyone left the Chinese military tent, Wu Shaogang fell into a short period of contemplation.

Everyone outside was making preparations, and after half an hour, everyone was about to leave here and rush to Mochou Valley.

Wu Shaogang has analyzed Hao Jing, Hao Jing is a native of Lingchuan, Zezhou, that is, a native of Shanxi, which was previously occupied by the Jin State, and later the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia united to destroy the Jin State, Zezhou was occupied by the Mongols, Hao Jing has been studious since childhood, has a good knowledge, was recommended to Kublai Khan by Zhang Rou, and was appreciated by Kublai Khan.

Hao Jing is a scholar, and believes in Cheng Zhu's theory, so he must have the arrogance of a scholar.

On the one hand, they are arrogant and loyal, but on the other hand, they do not know how things turn around, and they disdain to take conspiracy to obtain profits, and such readers, once their own beliefs are broken, they will fall into a sea of pain.

Wu Shaogang not only wanted to completely exterminate the Mongol mission, but also completely defeated Hao Jing.

This can be regarded as the beginning of Wu Shaogang's contest with Kublai Khan.
