The Mongol army began another offensive, and the Mongol army stationed in Ezhou and Tanzhou was divided into two armies, led by Ashu and Ali Hague, respectively, and marched towards Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, and Guangnan East Road.

Ashu led an army of more than 100,000 as the main force of the Mongolian army's attack, they set out from Ezhou, launched an attack on Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road, Ali Hague led the remaining 50,000 troops, starting from Tanzhou, directly into Qianzhou on Jiangnan West Road, after completely controlling Qianzhou, and then marched into Shaozhou, where Guangnan East Road belonged.

Ashu's tactics were very clear, the army attacked in two directions, completely cutting off any retreat of the Great Song court.

The emperor specifically emphasized in the holy decree that it was necessary to avoid the transfer of the Great Song Dynasty in the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng.

During the period of recuperation of the Mongol army, Ashu had secretly dispatched his deputy marshal Ali Hague to lead an army of 50,000 troops stationed in Tanzhou, and sent countless scouts to enter the Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road to reconnoiter to prevent the Song Dynasty from moving in the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng, fortunately, after a few months, there was no movement on the Guangnan East Road and the Guangnan West Road.

Even in the direction of Lin'an Fucheng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, there was not much movement.

The news of another Mongol offensive reached the city of Lin'an in late September.

The Duke of Wei began to urgently raise the matter of moving the capital.

Although a lot of troops were temporarily organized during this time, the combat effectiveness of these armies was still clear, and they were by no means the opponents of the Mongol army, and these armies were at most retarding the pace of the Mongol army, and it was impossible to resist the Mongol army.

What Jia Rudao can rely on is still the army of the palace in front of the palace and the army of the guard Ma Jun in his hands, with a total of 130,000 people, which can still be used to resist the Mongolian army.

Since the matter of moving the capital is proposed, it will definitely alarm the Empress Dowager Xie and the emperor, but the matter has reached such an urgent point that it is impossible to hide the war situation.

On the fifth day of October, in the early dynasty, Jia Rudao finally put forward the matter of moving the capital.

In view of the fierce attack of the Mongol army, in order to avoid its edge, Jia Rudao suggested that the capital be relocated to Fuzhou, where the Fujian Road belongs.

Jia Yidao's proposal made the unprepared emperor instantly turn pale and his body trembled.

Although it has been ten years since he ascended the throne, the emperor has always been drunk and dreamed of death, never considered the major things in the court, and his eyes were also black on the affairs of the outside world.

The Minister of Chinese and Wu of the DPRK did not show much in this regard, perhaps everyone has become numb and has understood what kind of situation they are facing, whether they move the capital or not, there is not much hope.

Because of the emperor's gaffe, the early dynasty could not go on at all.

Jia Rudao's proposal to move the capital could not be passed.

After the early dynasty, Jia Nidao was anxious, he has always been in power, but this also benefits from the trust of the queen mother and the emperor, if there is no such strong support, it is impossible for Jia Nidao to control the government for so many years.

The same is true now, if he loses the support of the queen mother and the emperor, it is impossible for Jia Rudao to continue to control the government.

Therefore, Jia Rudao did not dare to complain about the emperor's attitude, he could only be in a hurry, hoping that the emperor would agree to move the capital after truly understanding the danger in the capital.

Returning to the Privy Council, Jia Rudao immediately began to arrange the relocation of the capital.

If you want to move the capital, the first thing is to consider the relocation of the palace, followed by the relocation of the Privy Council and the imperial court.

Just when Jia Rudao was in full swing to prepare for the relocation of the capital, the eunuchs in the palace came to the Privy Council.

Seeing the eunuch who came, Jia Yidao's attitude instantly became respectful, because this was the eunuch beside Empress Dowager Xie.

Following the eunuch into the palace, Jia Rudao was thinking nervously in his mind, he knew what was the matter of the summons of the Empress Dowager Xie, it must be about the relocation of the capital, the gaffe has reached a very urgent point, and it is necessary to consider the matter of moving the capital.

After thinking about what to say in front of Empress Dowager Xie, Jia Yidao breathed a sigh of relief.

When he looked up, he found that Yin had come to the Duancheng Palace.

This surprised Jia Yidao.

Duancheng Hall is not used much on weekdays, when the emperor worships his ancestors, it is called Duancheng Hall here, when the palace tries to roll call, it is called Jiying Palace, when the banquet invites envoys, it is called Chongde Palace, and when the martial arts are conferred, it is called the Martial Arts Palace, and the name on the plaque outside will also be changed.

The Queen Mother actually came to the Duancheng Palace, and did not replace the plaque.

A cold sweat broke out on Jia Rudao's head instantly, and he vaguely understood what the Queen Mother meant.

When entering the Duancheng Palace, Jia Rudao's body trembled slightly.

The hall was unusually quiet, and after the eunuch led Jia Rudao into the hall, he immediately turned around and withdrew.

Jia Yidao turned his head left and right to look, and there was no one else.

There was a slight sound of footsteps.

"Wei Guogong, the mourning family hopes that when you come to the Duancheng Palace, you can think of the first emperor and the many ancestors of my Great Song Dynasty.

Jia Rudao's face turned pale instantly, and he knelt down.

"The minister visited the queen mother, and the minister always thought about the Song Dynasty and the country."

"In this way, the mourning family is relieved, the emperor's body is itchy, and the mourning family has no choice, so he came to beg Wei Guogong."

Jia Rudao, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly answered.

"As long as the Queen Mother has orders, the ministers will do their best."

A slight sigh made Jia Yidao's body tremble again.

"The mourning family heard that Wei Guogong wanted to move the capital, but the mourning family didn't understand very well, can Wei Guogong explain it to the mourning family."

Jia Rudao's words in his mind all flew away at this moment, in fact, from the attitude of the Empress Dowager Xie, he had already understood everything, he had boasted so well about the government before, how long had it been, and he was forced to move the capital, and the emperor and the queen mother were definitely dissatisfied.

Looking at the entire imperial court, the ones who can let Jia Nidao continue to maintain power are the emperor and the queen mother.

Seeing that Jia Rudao, who was kneeling on the ground, did not answer, Empress Dowager Xie spoke again.

"The mourning family heard the emperor say before, ready to move the capital to Fuzhou, the mourning family does not believe, although the mourning family does not know the things in the court, but also knows that the soldiers of the three divisions in front of the palace, there are still so many soldiers to protect my Great Song Dynasty, it is difficult for the Mongolian army to attack, it was forced to move the capital, and the Wei king Wu Shaogang, has recovered the Kaifeng mansion, and the soldiers under his command are brave and good at fighting, the mourning family has been thinking, when to return to the Kaifeng mansion to see my Great Song Dynasty court of this fierce general...

Jia Yidao closed his eyes a little painfully, he knew about the relocation of the capital, and he was completely ruined.

As for the matter of moving the capital to Kaifeng Fucheng, it is not established, Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road have come to the news, the other army of the Mongolian Tartars has rushed in the direction of Shaozhou, obviously blocking the connection between the Song Dynasty and Kaifeng Fucheng, once the emperor and the empress dowager take the Guangnan Road, the shame of Jingkang more than 100 years ago is likely to be repeated, but the queen mother and the emperor were captured by the Mongolian army.

Jia Rudao absolutely could not bear such a responsibility.

At this time, Jia Rudao was speechless, because he couldn't think of any good way.

Jia Rudao never spoke, and Empress Dowager Xie didn't blame it.

"The mourning family is the most trusting of Wei Guogong, the emperor entrusts the court to Wei Guogong, and the mourning family also entrusts everything to Wei Guogong, and the mourning family hopes that Wei Guogong can resist the attack of the Mongolian Tatars, protect the Great Song Dynasty, and protect my Great Song Dynasty, I don't know what Wei Guogong thinks, if you need the Mourning family to come forward...

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare to work the queen mother, the minister must lead the army, guard the capital, protect the court, protect the emperor and the queen mother...

Empress Dowager Xie's face showed a hint of a smile.

"Wei Guogong, calm down, the mourning family is waiting for your good news."

Back in the Privy Council, Jia Rudao found that all his underwear was drenched with sweat.

As the prime minister, he led an army of 130,000 to fight, such a situation, Jia Rudao never dreamed of it, but in today's situation, he can only lead the army to fight.

It is definitely not possible to defend the capital, once the Mongolian army surrounds the capital, then everything is over, there are so many officials, magnates and people in the capital, and the consumption is also huge, if the Mongolian army cuts off any contact between the capital and the outside world, it is estimated that it will not take a month, and the Song Dynasty can only choose to surrender.

Therefore, the 130,000 soldiers stationed around the capital must be killed.

On November 20, the Governor's Mansion of the Soldiers and Horses of the World was established in Lin'an, the capital city.

Jia Rudao personally served as the governor, commanded the army and horses of Zhulu, and prepared for a decisive battle with the Mongol army.

The emperor has issued an edict to mobilize the armies of Liangzhejiang East Road, Liangzhejiang West Road, Fujian Road, Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road into Beijing, under the command of Wei Guogong and Governor Jia Yidao, to resist the Mongol army.

It is a pity that there are not many local sergeants who go to the capital, and until the end of November, the total number of sergeants who arrived in the capital does not exceed 20,000, that is to say, Jia Rudao, the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, controls less than 150,000 sergeants.

Jia Yidao, who is not familiar with military affairs, actually became the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, which seems to be a joke.

The next strategic deployment was carried out in the Privy Council.

Jia Rudao transferred Sun Huchen, the commander of the guards and infantry divisions, to the Privy Council, intending to make Sun Huchen the vanguard officer.

After consulting with Sun Huchen, Jia Rudao decided that an army of nearly 150,000 would defend against the invading Mongol army in the Wuhu area, and that the army would rely on Wuhu to encircle and annihilate the invading Mongol Tatars with superior forces, and strive to completely defeat the Mongol army in the Dingjiazhou area.
