Wu Shaogang received a gold plate from the imperial court for the first time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because of the abandonment of post stations in various places, and because of the negligence of the imperial court, the gold plate has not appeared for many years, and the people are also very sensitive to the gold plate, and even disgusted, Yue Fei was recalled by the twelve gold plates, forced to stop the crusade against the Jin country, and was killed by the court on trumped-up charges.

The gold plate that has not appeared for a long time is in Wu Shaogang's hands.

The gold plate is not made of gold, it is also a wooden card more than a foot long, engraved with gold characters with vermilion lacquer as the base, and there are eight words on the wooden plate: the text in front of the emperor, and it is not allowed to enter the shop. It means that no stops or delays are allowed on the way, indicating that the situation is extremely urgent.

The gold plate is transmitted at a speed of 400 to 500 miles every day, and even if the post man and the post horse are tired to death, they must not stop.

Under normal circumstances, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs received a gold plaque, and he must act in accordance with the requirements of the imperial court, otherwise he will be charged with rebellion.

It's a pity that Wu Shaogang doesn't care at all.

Wu Shaogang had already known about the attack of the Mongol Tatars on the two Huai, and it can be said that he knew about it earlier than the imperial court, and he also knew that it was the Mongolian guard Habichi and the Mongolian Wanhu Chang Batu'er who attacked the two Huai this time.

Habichi and Batuer, both of whom were confidants of the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan, sent two people to attack Lianghuai, compared to Zhang Rou's attack on Sichuan, which made Wu Shaogang find the clue.

According to historical records, the Mongol court has always been the first choice to attack Sichuan, after the rebellion of Liu Quan, the deputy envoy of Tongchuan Fulu defense and the prefect of Luzhou Prefecture, he gave Kublai Khan a suggestion to abandon the strategy of attacking Sichuan, first attack Xiangyang and Lianghuai and other places, and open the door of the Southern Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan adopted Liu Quan's suggestion.

However, history has changed, Liu Quan's army was defeated and captured, escorted to the capital and beheaded, it is said that the focus of the Mongol court's attack should still be Sichuan, why did it change.

This is what Wu Shaogang is most concerned about, and it is also a question that has not been answered for the time being.

This matter is very important for Wu Shaogang, if Kublai Khan changes the direction of the attack, then he can get a lot of respite and development, and the fight between Kublai Khan and the Great Song Dynasty will definitely consume part of the strength, and the river mussels compete for the benefit of the fisherman.

The ascension to the throne of Zhao Yu of Song Duzong made Wu Shaogang understand that the Great Song Dynasty had made great strides towards the road of destruction.

Zhao Yu, the emperor, has a mess in history, has no ability to govern, and completely relies on Jia Yidao, regardless of whether the Great Song Dynasty will perish or not, what he thinks of is his own lewdness, and his ability to play with women is good, and he once pampered thirty concubines overnight, and he doesn't know how this emperor did it.

Jia seems to be a person, Wu Shaogang has almost never had direct contact, let alone working together, whether this person is not the way it is evaluated in history, or whether it is dedicated to the people and slandered by others, it is not known at present, but there is one thing Wu Shaogang can be sure of, that is, in dealing with the Mongolian Tatars, Jia seems to be no, just from the negotiation of the battle of Ezhou, Wu Shaogang can see it, you must know that the Mongolian army led by Meng Ge and Kublai Khan came with the determination to destroy the Song Dynasty, and at such a time, peace was negotiated, what does it do.

From the deployment of troops and defense, Jia Rudao's ability is also average, as a privy envoy, the highest military commander in the DPRK, Jia Nidao has no credit, the battle of Huaibei that year, it was a good opportunity, but because of internal calculations, and fear of the Mongol Tartars and so on, it was in vain, and when the rebellion in Shandong was put down, the opportunity has been completely lost.

After serving as the envoy of Sichuan, Wu Shaogang's thinking has changed dramatically, he will not continue to follow the will of the imperial court, even if it is perfunctory on the surface, I am afraid that it will not exist, and everything he does next, every decision he makes, is from his own advantage.

So after receiving the gold plate, Wu Shaogang was not in a hurry.

The meaning of the edict is very clear, requiring Wu Shaogang to lead the imperial armies of Hezhou to aid the two Huai.

This edict is also very interesting, it is said that the capital of the imperial armies in Hezhou is Cai Siwei, and the imperial court should have directly given Cai Siwei a gold plate, but the gold plate went to Wu Shaogang's hands.

It seems that Jia seems to be not stupid and understands all the mysteries.

The time is already late November, there is no movement in the direction of Lizhou, Zhang Rou arrived in Baoji, but there is no plan to attack the west road of Lizhou, which makes Wu Shaogang very annoyed, two days ago he discussed with Hao Jing, Cai Siwei and Zhang Binghui and others, if you really can't wait, then take the initiative to attack, Hezhou Imperial Army entered Baoji to attack.

To make this decision, Wu Shaogang was very cautious, he didn't want to stimulate Kublai Khan too much, who knows if Kublai Khan would be hot-headed, ignore anything, and lead a large army to attack Sichuan, there is really such a situation, not to mention whether the imperial armies of Hezhou, Xingyuanfu and Jinzhou can resist, at least the losses are heavy.

Wu Shaogang is very calm, he will never underestimate Kublai Khan, although when he talks with many henchmen, he deliberately belittles the meaning of the Mongol Tatars, but every battle arrangement, he attaches great importance to it.

Lizhou West Road is under the jurisdiction of Lizhou State City, State Office, Wing Room.

Hao Jing, Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui and others all knew about the gold plate.

Everyone didn't particularly care about the gold plate, this was Wu Shaogang's final decision, and they didn't need to worry too much, but the main force of the Mongolian army actually attacked Lianghuai directly, which made them puzzled.

When Wu Shao just entered the wing, Hao Jing and the others all stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we are discussing one thing, Kublai Khan sent Habichi and Batuer to lead a large army to attack Lianghuai, and only sent Zhang Rou and Zhang Tingrui to attack in the direction of Sichuan, and only the new annexed army under his command, what does this mean, can it be said that Kublai Khan changed his mind and did not take Sichuan as the main direction of attack."

This question is also a question that Hao Jing and others pondered.

To say that the Mongol court's conquest strategy suddenly changed dramatically, the possibility should not be very large, and it cannot be explained, but the reality makes everyone wonder.

"We have done an analysis before, Kublai Khan will not launch a full-scale attack in a short time, I admire Kublai Khan, he is worthy of being a hero, he can judge the situation, we are also fully prepared, and plan to desperately resist the attack of the Mongol Tatars, but the current situation makes it difficult for us to understand."

。。。

After Wu Shaogang finished speaking, Hao Jing spoke.

"My lord, my subordinates have thought of a possibility."

Wu Shaogang looked at Hao Jing and nodded.

"Could it be that Kublai Khan felt that the imperial army in Hezhou was too brave, and under the premise that it was impossible to send a large army to conquer, he tentatively launched an attack on Lianghuai and even Xiangyang, if he could win the battle, it would be the best, if the expedition was unfavorable, he could also find out the details. . . ."

Before Hao Jing finished speaking, Cai Siwei and Zhang Binghui nodded.

In terms of tactical arrangement and strategy, the two couldn't compare with Hao Jing, and they couldn't think of so much.

Wu Shaogang was obviously contemplative.

After Hao Jing finished speaking, he looked at Wu Shaogang.

Finally, Wu Shaogang raised his head.

"Mr. Hao's analysis, there is some truth, but I think there is another possibility, that is, Kublai Khan is afraid that he followed someone's advice and is ready to change his strategic deployment, and when he launches a general offensive in the future, he will not necessarily start from the direction of Sichuan, but choose Lianghuai or even Xiangyang and other places, if so, I can only say that Kublai Khan is indeed powerful."

"Whether it is Lianghuai or Xiangyang, it is the gateway of my Great Song Dynasty, once it is lost, it will directly threaten the capital of my Great Song Dynasty, Lin'an, when the army stationed in Sichuan, also needs to rush to help, so that Sichuan's defense will also be empty, Mongolian Tatars are mainly cavalry, in the two Huai and Xiangyang area, it is difficult to perform, Sichuan is different, despite the steep terrain, but the cavalry can still be rolled out, and can also play the strongest combat effectiveness."

Hao Jing listened very carefully, and seemed to suddenly think of something at this moment.

"The subordinates think that the adult's analysis is reasonable, over the years, the subordinates have carefully calculated, the Mongolian army under the command of the Hezhou Imperial Army, more than 100,000 people, although most of them are new annexed troops, can not hurt the muscles and bones of the Mongolian court, but if it continues for a long time, the Mongolian court is still difficult to bear, and the morale of the Mongolian army is also a huge blow, in this case, the Mongolian court is afraid that someone will stand up and make suggestions to Kublai Khan."

Wu Shaogang smiled slightly.

"Mr. Hao is right, in fact, Kublai Khan has a lot of capable people around him, and they are all able to put forward good suggestions, including Kublai Khan's relocation of the capital to Zhongdu, this is a very good suggestion, I heard that this suggestion was put forward by Liu Bingzhong, and this person's vision is very good."

When he said this, Wu Shaogang let out a long sigh.

"If Kublai Khan can really take all the correct advice, we are afraid that we will not be able to shake him, but unfortunately Kublai Khan can't do this, he has contempt and hostility to the Han people in his bones, this is our chance."

。。。

Seeing that the discussion was about to end, Cai Siwei couldn't help it.

"My lord, how to deal with this gold plate."

Wu Shaogang looked at Cai Siwei and spoke unceremoniously.

"Cai Du is in charge, are you thinking of leading the troops to help Lianghuai?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, your subordinates just ask."

"The matter of galloping to aid the two Huai, don't mention, the golden plate for us, has no effect, Zhang Rou and Zhang Tingrui are eyeing each other, stationed in Baoji, always ready to attack the West Road of Lizhou, we are too busy to take care of ourselves, where are the troops to rush to aid the two Huai, besides, there are a large number of troops stationed in the two Huai, and the imperial court can also send the sergeants of the three divisions in front of the palace to help the two Huai, why ask us to go, such a thing as being near and far, we don't want to do it."
