Kublai Khan was also concerned about the situation in Sichuan, and a large number of scouts he sent mixed into the people, and entered Sichuan to reconnoiter the situation of the Hezhou Imperial Army and other armies, and the battle of Xiangyang had been fully rolled out, but Kublai Khan still did not want to give up Sichuan, he firmly believed that once a large-scale offensive began, the Song army stationed in Sichuan would definitely rush to the aid of Xiangyang, and at that time, it would be the best opportunity for the Mongol army to attack and occupy Sichuan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

With the passage of time, Kublai Khan gradually calmed down, and the reports from Xiangyang were continuously sent to Dadu, and when Hedan and Ashu completed the comprehensive siege of Xiangyang Fucheng, Kublai Khan breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation in Mobei made Kublai Khan still worried, Haidu was still restless, and he had openly opposed the imperial court, but the strength of Haidu was too different from Abuligo back then, and it was not worth Kublai Khan's all-out efforts to encircle and suppress, but Kublai Khan knew very well that the battle to attack and exterminate the Great Song Dynasty court had begun, and at this critical moment, if Haidu in Mobei contacted Ba Ra and other forces, it would definitely pose a huge threat to the Mongolian court.

The Mongol army is likely to face a three-front battle situation, on the one hand, Xiangyang Fucheng is the focus of the Mongol army's attack, followed by Sichuan, and finally Mobei, if the war situation really develops in this direction, the imperial court is difficult to deal with.

Kublai Khan was well aware of this, so he had to make a choice.

At the end of the year, Hedan's twists and turns arrived at the imperial court, and the training of the new attached army sailors has seen results, and the siege of Xiangyang Mansion City has basically formed, and after the beginning of the year, the army will be under the leadership of Ah Shu, seize the Changshou County, and completely cut off any connection between Xiangyang Mansion City and the Great Song Dynasty.

In Hedan's recital, what he asked for was one thing, whether to attack Xiangyang Mansion with all his might, or besiege the city for reinforcements.

If it is to attack Xiangyang Fucheng with all its might, then Hedan will order the army to launch a fierce attack, and strive to capture Xiangyang Fucheng in the shortest possible time, if the tactics of besieging the city and sending reinforcements are adopted, it is to firmly surround Xiangyang Fucheng, while attacking, so that the Song army in Xiangyang Fucheng is not at peace, and on the other hand, sending a large army to annihilate the Song army that came to the aid of Xiangyang Fucheng on the periphery.

When Hedan led the army to attack, the other army led by Habichi also went to Kaifeng Fucheng, and the division of labor between Hedan and Habichi was very clear, one was responsible for attacking and taking Xiangyang Fucheng, occupying the entire Jingnan Road, opening up the gateway to attack the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and the other was responsible for seizing the opportunity to attack Sichuan, occupy the entire territory of Sichuan, and cut off any opportunity for the Song Dynasty court to make a comeback.

Moge, Tachar, and Wuliang Hetai and others came to the top of the main hall.

Kublai Khan had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, and the matter discussed this time was a top secret in the court, and even the people of the color eyes could not know about it, and the guards had been strictly guarded outside the main hall, and no unrelated people were allowed to approach.

The huge map was laid out on the ground.

After Brother Mo and the others entered the main hall, before they had time to salute, Kublai Khan stood up, went straight down to the Danqi, came to the front of the map, and pointed to the location of Xiangyang Mansion on the map.

"You don't have to be polite, I invited you here today to discuss how to attack Xiangyang Fucheng, the Hedan brothers' plays, you have all seen them, tell me what you think."

Tachar and Wuliang Hetai's eyes were all on Brother Mo, and they waited for Brother Mo to speak first.

Brother Mo was not polite, looked at the Xiangyang Mansion on the map, and slowly spoke.

"The emperor, the minister thinks, or take the siege of the city to send reinforcements tactics for the best, the army led by the Habichi brothers, stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng for more than half a year, the song it wrote, is also a request for war, asked to attack Sichuan, the minister knows that the emperor is considering the focus of Xiangyang Fucheng, so he did not allow the Habichi brothers to act, Xiangyang Fucheng and Jingnan Road, is the gateway of the Song Dynasty, if it is lost here, then the entire Song Dynasty will be completely exposed to the sword edge of our army, but the terrain of Sichuan is quite special, And there are the most powerful troops of the Great Song Dynasty stationed here, so the minister feels that the battle to solve the battle of Xiangyang Mansion City cannot be carried out in isolation, and when Xiangyang Mansion City is captured, it is also necessary to exterminate the Song army stationed in Sichuan, at least weaken their strength... ”

Brother Mo said very clearly, and its meaning is also very clear, that is, the Mongolian army fights on two fronts, and it cannot be relaxed, such a suggestion is very good, but the two-line battle will definitely involve most of the energy of the imperial court, and in the allocation of troops, it cannot be negligent, for example, stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng, there are only 20,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, and the Song army stationed in Sichuan, the total strength is at least more than 100,000, with 20,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, plus tens of thousands of new annexed troops, thinking of completely defeating the Song army stationed in Sichuan, It's almost impossible.

Kublai Khan considered more problems, the imperial court decided to completely destroy the Great Song Dynasty this time, then every step of action, as well as every strategic deployment, and tactical play, are crucial, if the imperial court decides to fight on two fronts, in case there is a problem in Sichuan, or even encounters defeat, it will be a heavy blow to Xiangyang, at least in terms of morale, it is not a small impact, and as time goes by, Kublai Khan attaches more and more importance to the Yunchuan Festival of the Great Song Dynasty, Wu Shaogang, He thinks that this man's power and wisdom will not be below him.

Finally, there is another point, that is, the question of the return of the Han ministers of the DPRK and China.

Kublai Khan was unable to overcome his dislike for the Han ministers in the court in a short period of time, and it was certainly wrong for the emperor to have such an opinion, but Kublai Khan was not a saint and could not completely overcome his own emotions.

Recently, Kublai Khan faintly heard that Liu Bingzhong did not die, but went to Sichuan and defected to Wu Shaogang, he had sent the guards around him to secretly investigate the matter, but there was no result, and he did not know whether the news was true or false.

But no matter what, Hao Jing, Zhang Rou and others all defected to the Great Song Dynasty.

In the final analysis, Kublai Khan's knot still regarded the Han people as outsiders, and he believed that many Han ministers in the court also regarded him as an outsider.

Based on these considerations, Kublai Khan already had the idea of abandoning the two-front war, attacking and taking Xiangyang Fucheng with key forces, opening the door of the Great Song Dynasty, and guarding the direction of Sichuan with part of his troops.

After Brother Mo finished speaking, Kublai Khan looked at the map and was distracted, but did not speak.

Tachar followed the opening, and his meaning was similar to that of Mogo, almost indistinguishable.

The last one to speak was the Uliang Hetai.

Wuliang Hetai, who suffered a heavy blow, regained Kublai Khan's trust, and his mental state gradually improved.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have different opinions."

Wuliang Hetai's words made Kublai Khan raise his head.

"The minister thinks that it is the best choice to concentrate troops to take Xiangyang Fucheng, if you are focused on two ends, one side is Xiangyang Fucheng, and the other is Sichuan, it will definitely lead to distraction, and in the deployment of troops, there will also be errors, and there may even be a situation of confusion at critical moments."

When Moge and Tachar heard this, they were about to speak, but Kublai Khan waved his hand to stop them.

"Wuliang Hetai, you go on."

"Yes, the minister thinks that the Song army stationed in Sichuan is the most courageous army of the Song Dynasty, and the minister has fought with them, and its performance is completely different from the Song army in the south, and even different from the Song army in the battle of Ezhou that year, if we do our best to attack Sichuan, it is possible to achieve a final victory and completely wipe out the Song army stationed in Sichuan, but the focus of the imperial court's attack is still Xiangyang Fucheng, if you are distracted at this moment, while thinking about capturing Xiangyang Fucheng, while thinking about exterminating the Song army stationed in Sichuan, this is difficult to do, It may even lead to major changes in the strategic deployment of the imperial court... ”

Kublai Khan listened very carefully, and after Wuliang Hetai finished speaking, he slowly spoke.

"Wuliang Hetai, you mean to say that our army may encounter failure in attacking Sichuan."

"I thought it was possible."

Kublai Khan looked at Wuliang Hetai, and his eyes became a little cold.

Wu Lianghetai's face was calm, and he continued to speak.

"The minister did not think that he had failed, so he thought that the army would also suffer defeat, the minister said before, to attack Sichuan with all his might, it is certain to be able to win, but if it is a division of troops, it is very difficult to win, and the strength can not be concentrated, the minister thinks, with 20,000 iron cavalry to attack Sichuan, it is impossible to achieve the final victory."

Just when the faces of Brother Mo and the others changed, Kublai Khan smiled.

"Wuliang Hetai, what you said is right, what you said is true, in fact, I also see it this way, attacking Sichuan with 20,000 iron cavalry, it is impossible to achieve a major victory, and if you are not careful, you may even encounter defeat."

Wuliang Hetai looked at Kublai Khan, breathed a sigh of relief, lifted his cuffs, and wiped the sweat drops from his forehead.

Kublai Khan pointed to the map again.

"I see, with the attack on Xiangyang Mansion as the focus, with the vigilance of Sichuan as the auxiliary, we will do our best to attack Xiangyang Mansion, but in terms of tactical implementation, the former commander and deputy marshal shall prevail, I believe that the Hedan brothers can make an accurate judgment, whether it is a full-scale attack or a siege of reinforcements, subject to the opinions of the Hedan brothers, the court is not allowed to interfere, and I will not interfere."

"Habichi is still stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng, leaving 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry under his command, and the remaining 10,000 people will return to Dadu to guard the situation in the north of Mobei, and Xiangyang will no longer increase the army, from now on, the focus of the DPRK and China, and your concerns, will all be concentrated in Xiangyang Fucheng, and no longer think too much about Sichuan."
