The map hanging on the wall has been marked densely, red and blue arrows, unusually conspicuous, among which the red arrows represent the place where the imperial army is stationed, and the blue arrows are the places where the Mongolian army has fallen and stationed, the situation on the southwest road of Beijing, Wu Shaogang knows better than the imperial court, the intelligence agency has tried every means to obtain the latest and most complete information from the local area, and even did not hesitate to send scouts to enter the places occupied by the Mongolian army in disguise to investigate.

It is already the end of the third year of Xianchun, and nearly a year has passed, and the armies of Sichuan have not made any substantive moves, and have not launched an attack on Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road, which makes Cai Siwei and others a little anxious, in their opinion, when the Mongolian Tatars begin to attack Jingnan Road, the army can start to attack Jingzhaofu Road and other places.

However, the Yamen did not adopt the suggestions of Cai Siwei and others.

The Dingkun cannon manufactured by the Arms Bureau has been close to 200, and it seems that when the army began to conquer, there is still no problem in ensuring that there are 200 Dingkun cannons, as for the advanced earth-shattering thunder, the number is even larger, in comparison, the assault gun has been completely abandoned, and the Arms Bureau has given up on improving and researching it.

"Many people think that we should send troops to directly attack Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road, and occupy these two places, you also understand, all our deployments, the main goal of the first phase is to target Kaifeng Fucheng, once Kaifeng Fucheng is recovered, then our influence will rise sharply, not to mention the Han ministers in the Mongolian court, even if it is many people in the court, I am afraid that they will also want to come to us."

"Regardless of my delay in issuing the order, some people even doubt that we will rush to the aid of Xiangyang Mansion and give up attacking Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road, there is no doubt about this, our strategic deployment will not change."

"The elite of 20,000 Mongolian Tatars led by the Mongolian prince Habichi has been stationed in Kaifeng Mansion for nearly half a year or so, and Habichi has not made any movement, watching Hedan and Ashu attack Jingnan Road, to say that this Habichi has no idea in his heart, it is impossible, but why is it not moving, in fact, it is staring at our Sichuan."

"Kublai Khan must have thought that if the Mongol army began a large-scale attack on the southwest road of Beijing, and the main target of the attack was Xiangyang Fucheng, then our army in Sichuan must rush to the aid, and at that time, the Mongol army under Kublai Khan will be able to drive straight into Sichuan, although it may not be able to guarantee that Sichuan will be completely taken, at least it will be able to occupy a lot of places, and even regain control of Tubo and Yunnan."

"Kublai Khan's idea is very good, and his prediction is also accurate, if nothing happens, once Xiangyang is in an emergency, not only the army stationed in Sichuan, including the army of Lianghuai and Jiangnan Road, will be dispatched to help Xiangyang."

"It's a pity that Kublai Khan would never have imagined that these armies that rushed to help did not include the troops stationed in Sichuan and Yunnan, because we had more important things to do."

"Some people are afraid that they are puzzled, since the army of Sichuan is still going to attack Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road, why is it delayed in attacking, even if the 20,000 Mongolian Tartars led by Habichi are stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng, it is not a big deal."

Speaking of this, Wu Shaogang looked at Hao Jing.

"Master Hao, let's talk about it next."

After Hao Jing clasped his fists and saluted Wu Shaogang, he turned his head and spoke to everyone.

"The focus of the Mongol imperial court's attack has shifted to Xiangyang and the southwest road of Beijing, there is no doubt about this, but from the deployment of the Mongol Tatars, Kublai Khan did not give up Sichuan, and Habichi and Boyan were stationed in the city of Kaifeng, which fully illustrates this point, which also shows that Kublai Khan is likely to change his operational deployment and dispatch the Mongol Tatars who attacked the southwest road of Beijing and the city of Xiangyang to attack Sichuan."

"At such a critical moment, if the Jiedu Envoy Yamen makes a decision to attack Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road, it will definitely cause turmoil in the situation, and Kublai Khan is very likely to give up the attack on Jingnan Road and Xiangyang Fucheng, and instead decide to launch a general attack on Sichuan."

"Such a change is very unfavorable for Sichuan and Yunnan, and the deployment of the Yamen is not just to occupy Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road.

When he said this, Hao Jing looked at Wu Shaogang with a hesitant expression.

Wu Shaogang smiled and took over the conversation.

"There are some things that Lord Hao is not good to say directly, then I will tell you, as the saying goes, two tigers must fight each other, there must be an injury, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is a good strategy, cranes and mussels compete for the benefit of the fisherman, we have to be a fisherman, we just want to seize the best opportunity, what is the best time, that is, the Mongolian Tartars really launched a large-scale attack on the city of Xiangyang, and when they can't stop and can't retreat on all fronts, it is the best time."

After saying these words, Wu Shaogang looked at Hao Jing again.

Hao Jing's face was slightly red, and he also felt incredible, such a major plan, Wu Shaogang actually said it directly, if someone spread such words, wouldn't it be very unfavorable, of course, the people present today are Wu Shaogang's henchmen, and no one will pass on the word, but history always remembers this, and I am afraid that it will also be unfavorable to Wu Shaogang.

Before Hao Jing could speak again, Li Tingzhi on the side spoke.

"What the adults said just now is what I meant, you all remember it, the adults have thought of attacking Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road many times, but they have been dissuaded by me."

Li Tingzhi opened his mouth and took all the responsibility, probably thinking that it would definitely be bad to pour such an arrangement on Wu Shaogang's head, and it would definitely have an impact in the future.

Wu Shaogang looked at Li Tingzhi and did not open his mouth to argue.

His own authority has been established in Sichuan and Yunnan, and it is necessary to maintain his image.

Hao Jing no longer hesitated and continued to speak.

"The Mongolian army occupied Gucheng, Zaoyang, Fangzhou and other cities, and its vanguard was already in the Jingmen area, preparing to attack Changshou County, Niushou Town and Dengcheng Town, which became the most important stronghold of the Mongolian army, which can be seen that the Mongolian army basically completed the comprehensive encirclement of Xiangyang Fucheng."

"The Mongol army is using the winter time to train sailors, build warships, and stabilize the many cities it has captured."

"From this point, it can be seen that the official offensive of the Mongolian army has not begun, at this moment, I am afraid that Kublai Khan is also thinking about whether to abandon Sichuan and go all out to attack Xiangyang Fucheng in order to open the door of our Great Song Dynasty, or to take into account Sichuan, if the time is ripe, attack Sichuan."

"At such a critical moment, Sichuan and Yunnan must stabilize and not be blinded by immediate interests, so that the overall deployment is disrupted."

Whispered discussions began to appear, Hao Jing's analysis was very reasonable, but there was one of the biggest problems here, that is, when was the right time to attack, could it be said that if the Mongolian army did not launch an attack on Xiangyang Fucheng, the army could only wait.

Soon, Hao Jing talked about this problem.

"When to launch the attack on Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road, we think the right time is when the Mongolian army occupies Changshou County and completely completes the siege of Xiangyang Fucheng."

"Why is this moment appropriate, the Mongolian army has paid a lot of price after a long time of fighting and preparation, and has completely surrounded the city of Xiangyang, even if it encounters other mutations, it will not be easy to evacuate, otherwise it may lose more, I am afraid that Kublai Khan will not be able to make up his mind at that time."

"The Mongolian army has a high level of self-confidence, after the deployment is completed, they must think that it is okay to take the city of Xiangyang, even if it is five thunderstorms in the sky, they will not evacuate, in the battle of Ezhou that year, the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge has been killed, Kublai Khan, who is sticking to Ezhou, is not reluctant to evacuate."

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Mongolian army gives up attacking Xiangyang and comes towards Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiangfu Road, we will have enough time to prepare, meet them, and defeat them."

。。。

Hao Jing finally finished speaking.

Wu Shaogang spoke again.

"Some of the things I said just now don't sound very good, and even a little excessive, but that's how it is implemented, rather than hiding it, it's better to say it quickly, and you also know it in your hearts."

"We are not just the imperial court, once we attack Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road, it will definitely cause panic in the Mongolian court, Kublai Khan's deployment will encounter suspicion, and even produce a certain degree of vacillation, this is the opportunity, the army stationed in Xiangyang Fucheng, if it can seize this opportunity and decisively counterattack, it will have an unexpected outcome."

"It's a pity that I have already expected that even if we stir up the Henan Road in the dark, leaving the Mongolian Tartars at a loss, I am afraid that the army stationed in Xiangyang will not have any indication, and will still shrink in the city, and will never take the initiative to launch a counterattack."

"Lu Wenhuan, the deputy envoy of Jingxi to pacify Xiangyang Fucheng, is a good general, but unfortunately it is difficult to support it alone, it is possible to stick to Xiangyang Fucheng, and it is impossible to ask him to counterattack."

"I hope that the various armies of the imperial court galloping to the aid of Xiangyang Mansion can really exert their combat effectiveness, be fearless of death, and fight a decisive battle with the Mongolian Tartars, so that there may be a glimmer of opportunity."

"It's a pity, Jia Rudao doesn't understand military affairs at all, and his biggest strength is to negotiate peace with the Mongolian Tatars."

"Okay, the time for the army to be dispatched is expected to be from March to April of the next year, the time is not very sufficient, you must step up the training of the sergeants, sweat more on weekdays, shed less blood during wartime, don't have any slack and boredom, that is very deadly, you must know that what we are about to face is the elite of the Mongolian Tartars, and the elite of the Mongolian iron cavalry."
