When he stepped on the war horse, Liu Heima's body shook slightly, his face turned pale, and he couldn't even see a trace of blood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Dashuai, if you are not feeling well, you should take the carriage."
You Qianhu is one of Liu Heima's most trusted generals, otherwise he would not dare to speak like this, who in the army does not know Liu Heima's bravery, when Liu Heima's gallop on the battlefield, many generals were still children, and they didn't even come to this world, Liu Heima's prestige is supreme in the army and even in the entire Chengdu Fulu, everyone knows that his handsome is one of the best generals in the Mongolian Kingdom, and has been respected and trusted by the Mongolian Khan, and is responsible for guarding the key place Chengdu Fucheng.
However, Liu Heima's body does have major problems, which is also a fact that cannot be concealed.
There are not many generals who know about this matter, and You Qianhu beside Liu Heima is one of them.
Liu Heima looked at You Qianhu, did not get angry, but stabilized his body and spoke calmly.
"I have gained the trust of the Great Khan, I will do my best to serve, this battle is very important, I can't stabilize the Tongchuan Road, that is the biggest threat to my Mongolia, I can't have the slightest negligence, I ride with the soldiers, so that many soldiers can see me, they can rest assured, they can move forward bravely, this matter will not be mentioned again in the future."
You Qianhu's face turned red, nodded silently, and did not speak.
The brigade set off from Chengdu Fucheng, which was mighty and mighty, and could not see the edge at a glance.
Liu Heima is not worried about the news leaking out, he has thought carefully, so many years have passed, he has a deep understanding of the army of the Great Song Dynasty, the weakness of the Song army is an indisputable fact, and the Song army is unwilling to cause trouble, as long as the danger is not in front of him, as long as there is no threat to his own life, the Song army from officers to ordinary sergeants are willing to be turtles with shrunken heads.
It is precisely because of these reasons that the Great Song Dynasty was invaded and humiliated by the Great Liao and Jin Kingdoms, and even the shame of Jingkang appeared.
The Great Liao and Jin Kingdoms have long been swallowed up by the red dust of history, the rise of the Mongol Kingdom, the Southern Song Dynasty in the south, more and more weak, Liu Heima knew that the ultimate goal of the Great Khan Kublai Khan was to completely unify the Central Plains and completely destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.
I don't know if it's the luck of the Southern Song Dynasty court, or if there are too many things in the Mongolian Kingdom.
Five years ago, the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge personally led a large army to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army can be said to be pouring out of the nest, the troops were divided into three ways, a large-scale attack, intending to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, who knew that the Diaoyu City battle, Meng Ge was accidentally injured, and he died, forcing the Mongolian army that attacked Sichuan to evacuate, and the other Mongolian army that launched an attack from the direction of Ezhou, under the leadership of Prince Kublai Khan, surrounded the Southern Song Dynasty town Ezhou, Kublai Khan learned the news of Meng Ge's death, unmoved, ready to continue the attack, took Ezhou and approached Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.
As if it was destined by God, Kublai Khan, who was about to succeed, also encountered a mutation, and the prince Abuligo, who guarded the Mongolian steppe, actually wanted to ascend to the position of the Great Khan, which caught Kublai Khan off guard, and he could only return to the steppe, inherit the throne, and began the conquest of Abuligo and other rebels.
Liu Heima was one of Kublai Khan's cronies, and there was no doubt that he supported Kublai Khan's succession to the throne.
After Kublai Khan inherited the throne, the Mongolian steppe became more and more chaotic, and Abuligo fanned some of the princes to rebel and fight against Kublai Khan, the purpose was to compete for the throne, and Kublai Khan could only lead a large army to conquer the rebels.
Under such circumstances, Kublai Khan naturally had no time to look south, which gave the Southern Song court a chance to breathe.
It is said that Kublai Khan tried his best to exterminate Abuligo's rebels, and there should be no other matters, but unfortunately the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, Li Pu of Shandong rebelled and defected to the Southern Song Dynasty, and Liu Quan of Tongchuan Fu Road defected to Mongolia, one thing after another, especially Liu Quan's return to the Mongolian Kingdom, which once made Liu Heima overjoyed, you must know that the location of Tongchuan Fu Road is too critical, once the Mongolian army controls the entire Tongchuan Fu Road, then the entire Sichuan is under the monitoring of the Mongolian army, and wait until Kublai Khan quells the internal rebellion, With an order, the Mongol army could attack from the entire Tongchuan Road, occupy the entire Sichuan, and directly threaten Huguang and other places in the Southern Song Dynasty.
It's a pity that the Southern Song Dynasty court army quickly put down the rebellion, and Liu Heima suffered unprecedented humiliation.
Shandong Li Pu's rebellion, although it was completely suppressed, but Wang Wentong was involved, and was finally beheaded, which led to discord between many ministers in Mongolia, and also left a lot of hidden dangers, but part of the city in Shandong was still occupied by the Southern Song Dynasty army, Kublai Khan has ordered the prince Habichi Governor to all kinds of troops and horses, recover the lost territory, and ensure the safety of Shandong.
Shandong in the east, and Tongchuanfu Road in the west, have some problems.
Shandong has a large army led by Habichi and Youcheng Shi Tianze to attack, and it is believed that the Southern Song Dynasty army will soon be defeated, but the Tongchuanfu Road in the west is not necessarily.
It was for this reason that Liu Heima decided to personally lead the army to eliminate the threat of Tongchuan Fulu.
Seeing the neat marching procession, Liu Heima's pride was aroused.
This is a large army trained by him personally, which has experienced too many battles, and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the Mongol cavalry.
Liu Heima fully believes that this expedition will be able to break through the city of Tongchuan Mansion, and even capture the entire Tongchuan Mansion, as for the aid of the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Army, Liu Heima did not put it in his eyes, he knew that the reinforced Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Army would take a long time to arrive at Tongchuan Prefecture, and by that time, he Liu Heima and the army under his command had already stabilized, and he could hit the reinforcements of the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Court fiercely.
As for whether to completely occupy Tongchuan Mansion, Liu Heima has not yet made a final decision.
The army of this expedition has a total of 30,000 people, although it is said that he looks down on the weak and fearful Song army from the heart, but Liu Heima will not underestimate the enemy, he needs to completely defeat and exterminate the Song army stationed in Tongchuan Road, which greatly deters other Song troops on Tongchuan Road, so that Tongchuan Road is not peaceful, so that Chengdu Road can be truly safe.
Liu Heima also has selfish intentions, he knows that he has a major problem with his body, according to his age, I am afraid that he will not be able to support it for too long, so when he can move, create the best environment for Chengdu Fulu, after all, it is his son Liu Yuanzhen who takes over his stationing in Chengdu Fulu.
By the time of departure from Chengdu, the edict of the Great Khan Kublai Khan had already arrived, and Liu Yuanzhen was enshrined as ten thousand households, indicating that the Great Khan acquiesced to Liu Yuanzhen's future replacement of Liu Heima.
The 30,000 army is divided into the front army and the middle army, the front army is led by You Qianhu, who Liu Heima's most trust, and the Chinese army is Liu Heima's personal command, as for the marching route of the army, only Liu Heima knows, and the rest don't know at all.
Liu Heima, who has experienced a hundred battles, knows the importance of secrecy, he will not leak the marching route prematurely, even the most trusted You Qianhu does not know.
This battle may be Liu Heima's last battle, and he must win without leaving any regrets.
After five days of marching, the army entered Hanzhou.
The Chinese military tents, more than 1,000 officers, are all concentrated here.
Liu Heima looked at everyone and slowly spoke.
"The army has entered Hanzhou, and then it is divided into two roads, the front army is commanded by You Qianhu, the vanguard army, and the rear army is personally seated by the marshal, and the time limit is three days, and it must arrive in Deyang."
As soon as Liu Heima's words fell, there was a whispered discussion below.
Liu Heima coughed twice, and all the sounds disappeared.
"It's been five days of marching, and Ben Shuai knows that some of you have guessed the destination of this march, and I'm afraid that some people think that the army will launch an attack on Zhongjiang in Tongchuan Prefecture from the direction of Hanzhou, and Ben Shuai also had such an idea, but Ben Shuai finally rejected this idea."
"Hanzhou is one hundred and seventy miles away from Zhongjiang County, in the process of attacking, the front army and the Chinese army are difficult to coordinate, Deyang is only ninety miles away from Zhongjiang County, still the marching speed of our army, the front army and the Chinese army are completely able to take into account, this commander needs a complete victory, does not want to take risks."
"As for the resistance of the Song army, you don't have to worry at all, as far as Ben Shuai knows, the Song army stationed in Tongchuan Mansion City is very small, and they are all local troops, and the Hezhou Imperial Front Army of the Great Song Dynasty is all stationed in Hezhou, even if they rush to the aid of Tongchuan Mansion City, it is too late, and Ben Shuai still wants them to rush to help, so that Ben Shuai can completely exterminate them in Tongchuan Mansion."
Speaking of this, Liu Heima coughed a few times again, this time the cough was not completely because of the body, when it came to the imperial army in Hezhou, Liu Heima thought of the five thousand Mongolian soldiers who were completely annihilated in Tongchuan City, and thought of his son Liu Yuanzhen, who was captured alive, which was a thorn in his heart.
Everyone looked solemn and looked at Liu Heima.
Liu Heima's decisions and orders were absolutely carried out by everyone.
"You Qianhu, the five thousand sergeants you led, set off after an hour, the distance between the front army and the Chinese army, keep within fifty miles, you must always contact, exchange information, after arriving in Deyang, you don't have to stay, go directly to Zhongjiang County, the battle to attack Zhongjiang County, the front army is responsible for completion, a small county town, you are completely able to take it."
"While taking Zhongjiang County, report quickly and wait for the next order."
You Qianhu had already stood up, clasped his hands into fists, and knelt on one knee.
"The last general obeys his orders, and he must lead the front army to capture Zhongjiang County."
Liu Heima picked up the token on the table and handed it to You Qianhu.
"Go, get ready, bring enough food and grass, Ben Shuai is waiting for your good news."
The rest of the officers looked at You Qianhu, and all kinds of eyes burst out of their eyes, some were envious and jealous, some were unconvinced, and some were unclear. (To be continued.) )
