Although he has not yet received the emperor's will and the edict of the Privy Council, but Wu Shaogang has made a decision, has begun to be implemented, after completely exterminating the Mongolian army under Liu Yuanzhen and killing Liu Yuanzhen, Li Siqi and Lu Xiufu have returned to Tongchuan and Luzhou according to Wu Shaogang's arrangement, Li Siqi is responsible for the affairs of the entire Tongchuan Mansion Road as the deputy envoy of the defense of the Tongchuan Mansion Road, supervising the affairs of the Luzhou Mansion, Lu Xiufu is going to Tongchuan Mansion, fully responsible for the affairs of the Mansion, and Huang Jiaming, who presides over the affairs of the Luzhou Mansion, He had already been ordered to go to Chengdu Fucheng to assist Wu Shaogang and Hao Jing, after all, Huang Jiaming was familiar with the situation here.

Hao Jing handled the affairs of Chengdu Fu Road very well, the Mongolian army scattered all over the place, encountered a large-scale purge, many people chose to surrender, those who were unwilling to surrender the Mongolian army, there is almost no place to stand, can only choose to flee, go to Lizhou West Road, in terms of stabilizing the people, Hao Jing in accordance with Wu Shaogang's practice in Tongchuan Fu Road, in the name of Wu Shaogang, issued a strict order, strictly prohibiting someone from taking the opportunity to rob the people, once found, severe punishment.

Although the time is not very abundant, when Wu Shao just returned to Chengdu Fucheng, Hao Jing still fully maintained the stability of the entire Chengdu Fulu, and the officials of Fuzhou County did not suffer too much influence and were still managing local affairs.

Wu Shaogang focused on the affairs of the imperial armies in Hezhou.

After this battle, the total strength of the Hezhou Imperial Army reached 70,000 people, this scale is already very unusual, close to the total number of the palace army, and in terms of combat effectiveness, after Wu Shaogang created an unusual training method, as well as many bloody battles, the combat effectiveness of the Hezhou Imperial Army is far more than the palace army.

Wu Shaogang and his subordinates have long understood a truth, any stable situation needs to rely on the army to defend and support, so in the expansion of the Hezhou Imperial Army, everyone's ideas are the same, and it is completely in accordance with Wu Shaogang's requirements, after such a long time, many officials, including Lu Xiufu, have a much more ambiguous attitude towards the emperor and the court, and basically implement Wu Shaogang's orders.

At the beginning of August, Wu Shaogang, who had just returned to Chengdu Fucheng, received information that the army sent by Kublai Khan had gone to Chengdu Fulu, and the commander of the army this time was the Mongolian prince Jadu, and the deputy marshal was the Mongolian Wanhu chief Wuliang Hetai, and the marshal Zhang Rou.

The Mongol army totaled 50,000 people, including 10,000 Mongol cavalry.

This news, in the Hezhou Imperial Army, did not cause any waves, on the contrary, with the Hezhou Imperial Army under the command of Cai Siwei led by many officers, with a higher morale, they want to defeat the Mongolian army again, and this time they are about to face the real Mongolian iron cavalry, if they can achieve victory in the battle, it will be of historical significance.

This kind of morale has also infected many officials.

In the wing, Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming were carefully looking at the information provided by the Intelligence Agency.

Wu Shaogang also had documents in his hand, mainly about the situation of the Mongol army sent by Kublai Khan.

Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui, Chang Mingquan, Ma Long, and other major officers of the Hezhou Imperial Army were also in the wing, and Yuan Shichun participated in the discussion as the head of the Intelligence Bureau.

The main topics discussed were two aspects, on the one hand, on the stability of Chengdu Fu Road, Lizhou East Road, and Lizhou West Road, and on the other hand, on how to defeat the Mongol army.

On the issue of how to stabilize the localities, Wu Shaogang put forward preliminary ideas.

Longqing Mansion, Lizhou, Da'an and Xingyuan Mansion and other places to which Lizhou East Road belongs, were all recovered by the Hezhou Imperial Army, but the entire Lizhou West Road is still occupied by the Mongolian army, and it is expected that it will not be long before the Mongolian army that comes to the aid will enter the Lizhou West Road.

Stabilize Chengdu Fu Road, this matter is very easy to discuss, but to stabilize Lizhou East Road, it is a little complicated, Bazhou is stationed in part of the Xingyuan Mansion Imperial Army, Jinzhou is stationed in Jinzhou Imperial Army, these two armies are not Wu Shaogang can directly command, although it is said that the Xingyuan Mansion Imperial Army is under the command of Wu Shaogang Zhang Jue is obeyed by Wu Shaogang's orders, but Wu Shaogang needs to pay attention not to stretch his hand too long, so as not to arouse the doubts of the emperor and the court, because of small losses.

Therefore, after repeated discussions, Wu Shaogang made a decision that the Hezhou Imperial Front Army mainly controlled Xingyuan Mansion, Da'an, Lizhou, Longqing Mansion and Langzhou, which belonged to Lizhou East Road, and the Xingyuan Imperial Front Army maintained the local stability of Bazhou and Pengzhou, and the Jinzhou Imperial Front Army maintained the stability of Jinzhou and Yangzhou.

In this way, the place where the Hezhou Imperial Army was stationed was determined, and some of the Fuzhou counties to which Chengdu Fu Road, Tongchuan Fu Road and Lizhou East Road belonged.

As for Lizhou West Road, it is only included in the scope of consideration at present, and it will not be deployed in detail.

Tongchuan Mansion Road is stable, and it is also the place where Wu Shaogang worked hard to operate, don't worry too much, just send a small number of sergeants to station, not to mention that there are 20,000 people belonging to the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion stationed in Hezhou.

Chengdu Fu Road is the place where the imperial army in Hezhou needs to be stationed, and it is also a place where Wu Shaogang and others need to worry more.

The main force of the imperial army in Hezhou was stationed near Chengdu Fu Road.

As for the part of Fuzhou and counties to which Lizhou East Road belongs, it is impossible for these places to be completely stabilized until the Hezhou Imperial Army completely defeats the Mongolian army rushing to help, so it is not the focus of the station.

Where the army cannot be stationed, it is also impossible to completely stabilize the people's livelihood.

Wu Shaogang's suggestion, Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming fully agreed, and made some additions.

The focus of the discussion was on how to deal with and defeat the Mongolian army.

How the battle will be carried out and how the battle will be deployed is still something that Wu Shaogang needs to consider.

Hao Jing and Huang Jiaming both put forward a point, that is, the Mongolian army attacked Chengdu Fulu on a large scale, it is said that the emperor and the imperial court should have an attitude, at least the Xingyuan Mansion Imperial Army and the Jinzhou Imperial Army should be placed under the command of Wu Shaogang, so the total number of troops exceeded 100,000 people, and in the face of the 50,000 Mongolian army, it was certain to win.

However, Wu Shaogang denied this conjecture.

“。。。 The battle to defeat the Mongolian reinforcements still needs to rely on the Hezhou Imperial Army to complete, the emperor and the Privy Council will not have such a meaning, I am afraid that the capital at this time has been disturbed, and the capital has finally stabilized for these years, now it is okay, the Hezhou Imperial Army has made trouble, so that the emperor and the court are not at peace, at this moment, I don't know how many people hate me Wu Shaogang is looking for something to do. ”

"My lord, my subordinates think it shouldn't be, after all, it was Liu Yuanzhen who took the initiative to attack, isn't it possible that the imperial court needs the adults to be captured and not do anything to resist."

"That's not it, but there is one thing that Mr. Hao needs to pay attention to, the Mongolian army led by Liu Yuanzhen originally attacked Bazhou and Langzhou and other places, and did not attack Tongchuan Fu Road, from this point of view, the imperial court can send envoys to negotiate with the Mongolian army to avoid conflict."

Hao Jing looked at Wu Shaogang and nodded silently, he was deeply impressed in this regard.

Huang Jiaming also spoke.

"My lord, my subordinates really don't understand, my lord led the Hezhou Imperial Army, and achieved such a major victory, not only annihilated the Mongolian army stationed in Chengdu Fu Road, killed Liu Yuanzhen, the military horse envoy, but also recovered many Fuzhou counties on Chengdu Fu Road and Lizhou East Road, such merits, too little, subordinates said something bad to hear, if such credit is placed in the Mongolian court, I don't know how much reward I will get."

Hao Jing was about to open his mouth to stop Huang Jiaming, but Wu Shaogang waved his hand and opened his mouth with a smile.

"Mr. Huang is quick to talk, he is telling the truth, thinking of my Great Song Dynasty, more than 100 years, what I think of is to be reluctant and steal peace, what I do is to live in a corner, in order to protect my own pleasure and stability, I do not hesitate to surrender on my knees, and I do not hesitate to cede land and pay compensation, when facing the Jin State and the Mongolian court, it is not the case, those outstanding generals in the court who fought against the Jin State and the Mongolian Tartars, either encountered punishment and calculation, or were deprived of all power, or even beheaded, such a court, can still exist, this is really God's eyes."

Everyone looked at Wu Shaogang, dumbfounded, and speechless.

Wu Shaogang didn't care at all, in his mind, the Great Song Dynasty had already collapsed, and the responsibility of revitalizing the Han Dynasty had fallen on him, a traverser, and how to do all this well was the most important question to think about.

"Ladies and gentlemen, just now I have made a judgment on the situation in the capital, I believe that soon, the emperor's decree and the edict of the Privy Council will arrive, to resist the attack of the Mongol Tartars, or to rely on the Hezhou Imperial Army, need to rely on you, of course, I put forward the request in the twists and turns, presumably the imperial court will consider it, almost all of them are allowed, the imperial court can not be punished because the Hezhou Imperial Army defeated the Mongolian Tartars and recovered the lost territory, that is unreasonable."

"Okay, we have analyzed two days ago, the Mongolian reinforcements will not be able to arrive at the west road of Lizhou until mid-August at the earliest, during this time, we need to make comprehensive preparations, and then give the Mongolian Tartars a head-on blow, but I still need to remind you that Wuliang Hetai and Zhang Rou are both brave generals, not Liu Yuanzhen can compare, especially Wuliang Hetai, who has been conquering for many years and has good ability, we can't have the slightest contempt."

"This battle against the Mongolian reinforcements will be carried out on the Lizhou East Road or the Lizhou West Road, and the places under the jurisdiction of the Chengdu Fu Road will not suffer any interference, in addition, the scouts need to always reconnoiter the situation from Yunnan, pay close attention to the Mongol Tatars stationed in Yunnan, and if nothing else, they will also launch a large-scale attack."

"The Mongolian Tatars are brave, and the soldiers of my Hezhou Imperial Army are even braver, and we will definitely be able to defeat them completely." (To be continued.) )
