The news of the rebellion in the Mobei grassland and Haidu, the intelligence quickly spread to the Wei Palace, and the intelligence bureau also specially sorted out the report on the matters caused by Wen Tianxiang's reinstatement in the capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two pieces of news are both favorable news for the Wei Palace.

The festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival is still continuing in the mansion, and the prosperity and wealth of Kaifeng Mansion have made many officials in the Wei Mansion feel very good, and His Royal Highness the King of Wei has gradually clarified his ambitions, which has made everyone see hope.

The edict from the Wei Wangfu to the Monan Grassland was also ready to be sent, and the army led by Cai Siwei could return to the Central Plains from April to May to end the expedition in the Monan Grassland.

Cai Siwei has written several letters, reporting on the conquest of the Monan grassland, this time the 100,000 army entered the Monan grassland, it can be said that it has won a huge victory, not only basically conquered many Mongolian tribes in the Monan grassland, but also established good relations with these tribes, and the 100,000 army obtained a lot of war horses, cattle and sheep and other materials.

The leader of the Horqin grassland tribe also specially donated two sweat and blood horses to His Royal Highness the King of Wei.

It is said that the sweat and blood BMW can travel thousands of miles a day, and the sweat droplets on the body are red in the process of running quickly.

Wu Shaogang is most concerned about whether the 100,000 army is fully adapted to the climate of the grassland and can fight in the harsh climate, which is the most crucial thing.

The army that has experienced the conquest on the grassland is definitely different from the training on weekdays, after all, the training and tempering obtained in actual combat are far from being comparable to training on weekdays.

"The rebellion of Haidu, presumably to Kublai Khan and the Yuan Dynasty caused irreparable losses, Cai Siwei led the army, galloping in the Monan grassland, most of the half a year, almost all over the Monan grassland, and I can't see any Mongolian iron cavalry, I don't think Kublai Khan didn't want to send a large army to conquer, but the rebellion of Haidu, restrained Kublai Khan, so that he could not send a large army into the Monan grassland...

Wu Shaogang said these words, Li Tingzhi, Hao Jing, Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Wenqian, Xu Heng, Zhang Binghui and Ma Huaxuan and others, all nodded in agreement, Wu Shaogang had made a deployment, thinking that Kublai Khan would send a large army to attack the army led by Cai Siwei after the climate change in the Monan grassland, but only now, such a situation has not appeared.

"It's a pity to think about it, if Kublai Khan sent the Mongolian iron cavalry into the Monan steppe to fight, I wanted to see if our soldiers could defeat the Mongolian army on the grassland, if the soldiers did this, Kublai Khan was afraid that he would be really afraid."

As soon as Wu Shao finished speaking, Li Tingzhi smiled and spoke.

"What His Royal Highness the King of Wei said is, I also used to think about what kind of scene it would be if the army led by Cai Siwei could fight with the Mongolian iron cavalry on the grassland, but Kublai Khan was overwhelmed and couldn't take care of the Monan grassland, after all, the Mobei grassland was the holy land of Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan Dynasty, and Kublai Khan did not dare to have the slightest negligence, even if it was to maintain the nominal rule of the Mobei grassland."

Li Tingzhi is talking about the actual situation, everyone understands that the Great Yuan Dynasty founded by Kublai Khan, the roots are in the Mobei grassland, once Haidu completely occupies the Mobei grassland, and Kublai Khan's Great Yuan Dynasty is cleaned up, the Great Yuan Dynasty will be difficult to stabilize, in comparison, Haidu will receive huge support, and the power will be further strengthened.

Wu Shaogang knew that it was impossible for the sea to become a climate, whether it was in terms of strength or personal wisdom, the sea was not Kublai Khan's opponent, but at the most critical time, Haidu stabbed him in the back fiercely, which made Kublai Khan feel extremely uncomfortable.

The secret agents sent by the Wei Wangfu finally completed the task and instigated the Haidu cavalry, which was the victory of Wu Shaogang's strategy, but strictly speaking, it was still Haidu who had the intention of rebelling and hegemony, so he would raise troops, after all, the Mongol tribes used force to determine their own status, and once Haidu thought that their strength was strong enough, they would challenge Kublai Khan.

Such customs, which have been throughout the Great Yuan Dynasty, have never subsided.

Wu Shaogang didn't want to mention the matter of the capital at all, but Li Tingzhi still talked about Wen Tianxiang.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, Wen Tianxiang returned to the capital from Qiongzhou and served as a scholar in the middle school, and before he even had time to take office, he was sent to Ganzhou to serve as the governor, which can be regarded as an anecdote in the court."

Li Tingzhi's ridicule made everyone laugh.

"I see, Jia Rudao is thinking of letting Wen Tianxiang come forward to impeach me, Jia Rudao wrote me several letters, the implication is to ask us to send troops to help Jinghu Road and other places, the abacus is a good fight, but unfortunately there is no role in my place, speaking of which I still admire Lord Gundam, with not many troops, he stubbornly resisted the attack of the Mongol army, trying to turn Ezhou Prefecture City into the second Xiangyang Mansion City, such a critical moment, Jia Rudao should have given up his previous suspicions and gave Gundam strong support, In order to resist the attack of the Mongol army, who knows that Jia Rudao still thinks of his own power, and it is impossible for such a high as long to last. ”

After Wu Shaogang finished speaking, Ma Huaxuan spoke.

As the privy deputy envoy, Ma Huaxuan entered the upper echelons of the Wei Palace's mansion as quickly as possible, which is not a common situation.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the lower officials think that the Duke of Wei will not give Gao the power to pacify the deputy envoy, nor will he vigorously rush to the aid of Ezhou, so Ezhou cannot support for a long time, Ezhou and Xiangyang Mansion City are very different, the topography of Xiangyang Mansion City and the strong city are not Ezhou Prefecture City can be compared, and Lu Wenhuan has stored a large amount of grain in the Mansion City, which can be defended, up to Ezhou Prefecture City, completely relying on its own bravery, although it also stores a certain amount of grain, but the number will not be too much, As long as the commander of the Mongolian army, Ashu, calms down and besieges the city of Ezhou to the death, so that it does not get any help, it will not take long to be able to capture Ezhou... ”

Ma Huaxuan's analysis has some meaning of destroying his prestige with other people's ambitions, but it has been approved by Wu Shaogang and others.

In Wu Shaogang's view, Ezhou is more important than Xiangyang City, because Ezhou City, that is, Wuhan after a thousand years, its strategic position is far stronger than Xiangyang City, but today's imperial court believes that Xiangyang City is far more important than Ezhou.

The Gundam was indeed brave, but it was not supported, it could not have lasted too long, and it was already a miracle that it withstood the attack of the Mongol army for several months.

"Master Ma, how long do you think Ezhou can hold out?"

"Xiaguan thinks that in about half a year at most, Xiaguan also predicts that the commander of the Mongolian army, Ashu, will not continue to adopt the tactics of strong attack, but will adopt the tactics of siege to the death, so it will be difficult for the Gundam to stabilize many soldiers in Ezhou City."

After Ma Huaxuan finished speaking, Hao Jing and the others also made predictions.

Almost everyone believes that the city of Ezhou can last for about half a year at most.

Wu Shaogang fell into deep thought.

The advance of the Mongol army in the south had a decisive impact on the Wei Palace.

The time to fight face-to-face with Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan Dynasty and fight for the world also depends on the speed of the advance of the Southern Mongol army.

After everyone finished analyzing, Wu Shaogang picked up the edict in his hand.

"This is the edict of the Wei Wangfu to Cai Siwei and others, once Cai Siwei receives this edict, he will be ready to return to the Central Plains, and our next strategy will also be rolled out, you all know, our next strategy, we must grasp the best reality, in order to achieve a major victory."

When Wu Shao just said this, the room instantly fell silent.

"The more than 100,000 troops led by Cai Siwei will become the main force of the south, and its purpose is to completely exterminate the army of the Great Yuan Dynasty to conquer the south, once we start to act, Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan Dynasty are bound to be desperate, so the army stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng and the surrounding areas must quickly cut into Shandong and block the Mongolian reinforcements rushing to the south."

"The timing of the army's southward march must be strictly grasped, that is, when the Southern Mongolian army captured Lin'an Fucheng, but before that, whether the army needs to take Jingxi Road and other places is debatable, if we move too fast, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of Kublai Khan and Ashu, but if we move too slowly, we will lose the best opportunity."

"Our next strategy has two most critical points, one is to completely block the Mongol army in the south from Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan court, only by cutting off the Mongolian reinforcements, can we concentrate on exterminating the army under the command of Ashu, and the second is that we must be brave in battle, to be able to run long distances, to be able to fight in the most fatigued situation, so as to ensure the real defeat of Ashu and the Mongolian army under his command."

"The Mongolian army led by Ah Shu, known as one million people, is actually no more than 200,000 people, and there are many soldiers who surrendered to the Song army, among which the number of Mongolian iron cavalry is even smaller, fighting in the south, the terrain is complex, and there are too many swamp places, which is not conducive to the display of Mongolian iron cavalry, so the army under the command of Ah Shu is mainly based on the new annex army."

"The combat effectiveness of the new annexed army is not as good as that of the Mongolian iron cavalry, which we all know, but if we want to defeat an army of nearly 200,000, it is not as easy as we say, so we must be swift and fast, so that Cai Siwei can lead an army of 100,000 into the Monan grassland to sharpen, that is, to wait for this critical moment."

"You have all analyzed, the time for Ashu to capture Ezhou will not exceed half a year, then, according to our expectations, in next year or the beginning of the next year, the army under the command of Ashu can attack Lin'an City, in such a long time, we can't have any action, so our next target is Jingxi Road."
