At the end of April of the eighth year of Xianchun, the Great Yuan court issued an edict against the Great Song Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Hedan, Ashu and others have returned to Dadu to report the great victory of Xiangyang Mansion and the great victory of Lianghuai, and Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan and others, who followed them to Dadu, suggested a large-scale attack on the south, so Kublai Khan made up his mind to destroy the Great Song Dynasty first.

Just as Kublai Khan was about to issue an edict, the Semu Yisima Yin offered a return cannon.

The return cannon is actually an improved trebuchet, which is labor-saving and throws far.

This made Kublai Khan overjoyed, the sharp weapon owned by the Sichuan Song army has always been Kublai Khan's heart disease, and now Yisi Ma Yin's return cannon made Kublai Khan think that it can completely deal with the sharp weapon of the Sichuan Song army.

So, the edict of the Song Dynasty was announced to the world at this time.

Kaifeng Mansion City, Wei Wangfu.

On the table is the edict of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

The historical edict of the Song Dynasty did exist, and after Kublai Khan issued the edict of the Song Dynasty to the Great Yuan court, it took only about three years to basically destroy the Great Song Dynasty.

However, it is recorded in the history books that the Great Yuan court issued the edict of the Song Dynasty in June of the tenth year of Xianchun.

It is now the end of April of the eighth year of Xianchun, and the edict of the Song Dynasty has appeared.

History has changed really a lot.

"Everyone, Kublai Khan finally couldn't hold it back, this Song Dynasty edict, written is still good, I read a lot of feelings, Kublai Khan did say the reason for the decline of the Great Song Dynasty, it should be said that since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, it has been in a state of poverty and weakness, the most critical reason is that the emphasis on literature and light on military force, the strong Liao of that year, posed a huge threat to the Great Song Dynasty, and the later Jin State is needless to say, resulting in the Great Song Dynasty had to move the capital to Lin'an Fucheng."

"Moved the capital to Lin'an Mansion City, up to the emperor, down to many adults, living in a corner, greedy for pleasure, really thinking about the restoration of the country's civil and military soldiers, but suffered from calculations, when the Song Dynasty united with the Mongolian Dynasty, destroyed the Jin State, I don't know if this is a wise move, the consequence is to let the Mongolian Dynasty grow rapidly."

"The Mongol Dynasty was originally a heavy military dynasty, there is not much to worry about, if they have always done things according to the habits of the Mongols, blindly excluding the outside world, it is not worth worrying too much, but unfortunately, the Great Yuan Dynasty also has wise people, Kublai Khan is one of the outstanding representatives."

"Although Kublai Khan rejects the Han people in his bones, he knows the cultural influence of the Han people, and knows that many rules in the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty need to be absorbed, and many of the rules that the Mongols adhere to should be abandoned.

"Living in a corner, drunk and dreaming of death, greedy for pleasure, this is my evaluation of the Great Song Dynasty, moving the capital for more than 100 years, but there has been an emperor, thinking about recovering this Kaifeng mansion, thinking about recontinuing the glory of the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is a short period of glory."

"Since the Great Yuan Imperial Court has decided to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, it must have made all the preparations, and its main forces will continue to march towards the south, and the intelligence collected by the Intelligence Bureau some time ago shows that the Mongolian army is already marching towards Jinghu South Road, and it seems that the next key target is Ezhou."

"Once the Mongolian army takes Ezhou and controls the Jinghu South Road, it will cut off our connection with the imperial court, and at that time, the lords in the court are thinking of coming to Kaifeng Fucheng, and they will also detour to Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road, but I think they don't have such a good opportunity, if the Mongolian army really takes Jinghu South Road and Ezhou, and controls Guangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road, it is not a matter of easy reach."

"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what the imperial court will do, since Kublai Khan has issued an edict to attack the Song Dynasty, should we also take action, at least take advantage of this opportunity to prepare for the final decisive battle with Kublai Khan."

Wu Shaogang said this, stopped and looked at everyone.

So far, Wu Shaogang has controlled Sichuan Province, Yunnan Province, Shaanxi Province, Shanxi Province, Henan Province and other places, these places, except for Henan Province, which belongs to the Central Plains where the Central Plains is slightly richer, the rest are remote places, and they have not received much attention.

It is impossible to be satisfied, but the next goal is to attack to the south and compete with Kublai Khan, or to continue to attack to the north, to try to take the Daimyofu, Xijing Road, and even Western Xia, and continue to occupy these so-called frontier lands.

Attacking Shandong and other places should be excluded, after all, Shandong is the hinterland of the Central Plains, once it is taken here, most of the capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty will encounter a major threat, and all the connections between the Great Yuan Dynasty and the south will also be cut off.

After the edict of the Great Yuan Dynasty was announced to the world, Wu Shaogang also heard some discussions, and the most proposed was that the army would attack the Jingnan Road and bring the Fuzhou counties under the jurisdiction of the Jingnan Road under the rule of the Wei Wangfu.

Because the Great Yuan Dynasty issued the edict of the Song Dynasty, its army will definitely attack towards Jinghu South Road and Ezhou, and the Mongolian soldiers who stay on the Jingnan Road will not be too many, which is the best time to attack.

In the edict of the Song Dynasty, it was stated that Kublai Khan would send a million troops to destroy the Song Dynasty.

This is actually impossible, Wu Shaogang will not believe it.

The total number of troops controlled by the Great Yuan Dynasty did not exceed 500,000, the Battle of Henan Road and the Battle of Kaifeng Mansion lost nearly 100,000 troops, even if the Battle of Xiangyang and the Battle of Lianghuai added a lot of troops, but the overall number declined, and many new annexed troops stationed in Shanxi Province also chose to surrender, so that the loss of the Great Yuan Imperial Court was greater.

In other words, according to the analysis of the Intelligence Agency, the total number of troops under the control of the Great Yuan Imperial Court that can really fight on the battlefield is at most 450,000 to 500,000, of which the main Mongolian iron cavalry does not exceed 200,000.

In the face of the threat from Wu Shaogang, Shandong and Hebei and other places must be stationed a lot of troops, at least to protect the capital of the capital, this area of troops will not be less than 100,000 people, Mobei also needs to station a certain number of troops to prevent Haidu rebellion, this area of troops will not be less than 50,000 people.

It is impossible to use the army to destroy the Great Song Dynasty to exceed 350,000 people, and there will not be too many Mongolian iron cavalry, most of them are mainly new annexed troops.

If it is really as Kublai Khan said, the million-strong army, no matter where it goes, it will be overwhelming.

This kind of boasting and exaggerating of their own military strength is countless, but it is nothing, but it is a pity that some people in the Great Song Dynasty court may be serious, and after seeing this edict of the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the soul will not possess the body.

As for the Wei Wangfu, after the battle of Henan Road, the battle of Kaifeng Mansion and the battle of Hedong Road, the strength of the army increased by 80,000 on the original basis, and the total strength reached 270,000, including 180,000 troops in Hezhou, 30,000 in Dingkun Army, 30,000 troops in Xingyuan Mansion, 20,000 troops in Jinzhou Palace, and 10,000 personal guards under the Privy Council, which were responsible for the security of Wei Wangfu and Kaifeng City.

In terms of the total number of troops, Wu Shaogang still can't be compared with Kublai Khan, and the most critical point is that the Great Yuan court can recruit young people into the army at any time, regardless of other consequences, but in the area controlled by the Wei Palace, this situation must not be allowed, on the contrary, many of the captured new annexed troops are young and strong, and many of them are sent home to cultivate the fields, after all, there are people who need to cultivate the fields, and they don't go to farm, what do the big guys eat.

After being silent for a while, Li Tingzhi spoke.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the army must take action, and there are three directions that can be chosen, one is to attack to the north and take the Western Xia and the Daimyo Mansion and other places, the second is to attack to the east, take Shandong and other places, and the third is to attack the south and take the Jingnan Road and other places, in fact, the attack of these three roads is dangerous, in comparison, the first option is the safest, but you need to give up attacking the Daimyo Mansion Road, that is, His Royal Highness once said, you hit yours and I hit mine...

Li Tingzhi said very calmly, but his tendency is still a little obvious, that is, he does not agree with the first plan, attack in the north, take Xixia and other places, in fact, it is part of the southern grassland, these places are more desolate and sparsely populated, for the Wei Palace, it is a place that has no effect, on the contrary, it may require the palace to invest a lot of money.

As for the attack on Shandong, it is obviously not valid, which is equivalent to attracting all the Mongolian troops, but giving the Great Song court a chance to breathe.

All that remains is to attack from the south, striving to capture places such as Jingnan Road.

Li Tingzhi's tendency, I'm afraid the same.

The rest of the people didn't speak for a while.

Seeing that no one else spoke, Wu Shaogang spoke again.

"I think it is still in accordance with the previously determined deployment and take the Monan grassland, which can also shake the Great Yuan Court."

Wu Shaogang's decision surprised everyone, in fact, in private discussions, for this strategic deployment, is the most unoptimistic, after all, the army under the command of King Wei is not afraid of the Mongolian army at all, several battles are big victories, even in the face of the Mongolian army that is pouring out, many soldiers will not be afraid, but if you choose to attack the Monan grassland, doesn't it show your fear of the Mongolian army.

Wu Shaogang did not explain the reason and insisted on the original deployment, which made many people not understand, including Li Tingzhi and others.

Wu Shaogang once again specially summoned Li Tingzhi, as well as Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui, Ma Huaxuan, and Hao Jing, the deputy privy envoys of the Privy Council, to explain the choices he had made in a small scale, and strictly demanded that everyone must not leak out many strategic deployments.

This time, Wu Shaogang's strategic deployment was resolutely supported by the top level of the Wei Palace.
