Chapter 442: Striking West

Polo Timur and other important ministers of the Mongol Yuan were killed in the internal strife, Wang Baobao was the dominant army, and was appointed by Yuan Huizong as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After all, Wang Baobao was young, and the generals were self-righteous and refused to obey his dispatch, and Wang Baobao, who was furious, concentrated the main force of 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack Li Siqi and Zhang Liangbi's troops who refused to obey the dispatch in Ningzhou.

Li Siqi originally started with Chahan Timur, and Zhang Liangbi started with Polo Timur, and the two assisted Li Chahan in defeating the Western Route Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the northwest, and forced the Red Turban Army generals Li Wu and Cui De, and the two stayed in the northwest and became warlords in the northwest.

Li Siqi and Zhang Liangbi are higher in rank than Wang Baobao, and they have the heart to preserve their strength, so they refuse to obey Wang Baobao's dispatch.

Wang Baobao naturally couldn't be polite to these two Han people, and spoke directly with a knife, wanting to force Li Siqi and Zhang Liangbi to submit by force.

"Generalissimo!" Guan Bao walked into Wang Baobao's military tent and said: "Your Majesty has issued many orders to let the army stop the siege of Li Siqi, and urge the army to go south to recover the lost territory, and now Hao Ren has pacified the south and returned triumphantly, I am afraid that it will not be long before Hao Ren will raise troops to invade the territory, and now the main force is in the northwest, I am afraid that the land of Shandong and Henan is in danger, and the generalissimo should be prepared early!" ”

"The government is sluggish, the internal affairs are unstable, there can be no rude whipping and disobeying orders, who else can I, the generalissimo, mobilize? If my army goes south, I am afraid that Li Siqi and Zhang Liangbi will not only laugh at me for being cowardly, but I am afraid that they will be like Polo Timur and make small moves behind my back! Wang Baobao said in an air.

Wang Baobao still has lingering fears about the infighting with Polo Timur, lest his army go south, Li Siqi and Zhang Liangbi make small moves behind his back, and he can't eliminate the disobedience to establish his prestige, and he can't mobilize the hundreds of thousands of troops of Meng Yuan.

"Generalissimo!" Guan Bao said again: "Even if Li Siqi and Zhang Liangbi are hateful, they are Han after all, not a golden family like Polo Timur, even if they slander the generalissimo behind their backs, with the generalissimo's merits, how can Your Majesty listen to the instigation of the two Han people?" And Shandong, Henan, is our real territory, if the thief is lost, not only the court will issue an edict to reprimand, but we are the actual victims! ”

Although Wang Baobao has heavy troops at the critical passes of Henan and Shandong, he knows that Hao Ren's strength has increased greatly, if it is not for his main army to fight a decisive battle with Hao Ren, I am afraid that his own territory will be eaten by Hao Ren inch by inch, even if he concentrates all his troops and horses, he may not be Hao Ren's opponent.

"Spare Li Siqi's life for the time being!" Wang Baobao said helplessly: "Passing on the military order of the marshal, the Chinese army immediately followed the marshal south to meet Hao Ren, and passed on the command to recruit soldiers and horses from all walks of life across the country, and went south to join the marshal!" ”

Wang Baobao heard that Hao Ren had returned to Middle-earth, immediately stopped the attack on Li Siqi, personally commanded the main force of the Chinese army of 200,000, went south to the Yellow River Valley, ready to meet Hao Ren, halfway through, he heard that Hao Ren's army had been attacked, and the military report of the lost land and the army flew like snowflakes.

In Henan's Bianliang, Luoyang and other cities, under the blow of Fu Youde and others, fell one after another, Henan's generation of defenders have urgently asked for more troops, Wang Baobao is young and vigorous, and the main force of the commander is taken, wanting to cross the Yellow River, eat Fu Youde's West Road army, and regain the land lost in Henan.

Halfway through the operation, I heard that another army of soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, under the leadership of Chang Yuchun, had crossed the Yellow River and invaded Shandong, and most of the land in Shandong had fallen into the hands of Hao Ren.

After all, the land of Shandong has been repeatedly fought by Meng Yuan and the Mao Gui Department of the Red Turban Army, Wang Baobao's strength in Shandong, many of them are the local landlord armies, and even a large part of the Red Turban Army surrendered to the generals, with the power of the three armies of the Spring Yong Crown, plus Chen Yutou, the old Mao Gui as the vanguard, so the Song army in Shandong progressed very smoothly, and the Song army almost experienced too much bloody battle, and many cities opened their doors to the Great Song Dynasty.

When Wang Baobao heard that the Song army had entered Shandong, he couldn't hold his breath anymore at this time, where could he still take care of the land lost in Henan?

Although Fu Youde's army is close to Wang Baobao, and Luoyang, Bianliang and other cities are of great strategic significance, they are far away from Dashi, even if they lose all the land in the south of Henan, after all, they can't hurt Wang Baobao's muscles and bones, and they can't hurt Meng Yuan's muscles and bones.

Although the land of Shandong is far away, the geographical location is extremely important for Mengyuan.

The land of Shandong, in terms of administrative division, belongs to the direct jurisdiction of Mengyuan Zhongshu Province, and if the Shandong Peninsula is lost, it can directly threaten the security of the Yuan capital.

The Northern Expedition of Mao Guidong's Route Army was based on Shandong, and the troops entered Liulin (Beitongzhou) twice, almost hitting the capital, and the entire imperial court was shaken.

Hao Ren's military peak is far sharper than Mao Gui, and there is no Polo Timur in the capital of Yuan, if Wang Baobao does not personally block the Song army outside the Shandong Peninsula, I am afraid that Hao Ren will be able to fight the capital of Yuan with a gritted tooth.

In fact, Hao Ren's army went on a northern expedition together, and Fu Youde went out on the left road, which was to mobilize Wang Baobao's soldiers and horses to the west, and then the main army was blooming in the east.

Wang Baobao understood the strength of Hao Ren at this time, and made a decisive decision, giving up continuing to go south to fight with Fu Youde, giving up the competition for land in Henan, leaving Guan Bao's army Chi Zhi Fu Youde's army Jingzhen, and he himself personally commanded the army, changed the marching route, and went all the way to the east to besiege the Song army that entered Shandong.

If it weren't for this, I am afraid that when I was inseparable from Fu Youde in Henan, Yuan Dadu would have already been broken.

Even if Wang Baobao reacts like this, I'm afraid it's too late!

After two months of repairs, Fu Youde was the commander of the Western Route Army, and Wu Liujiu, Zhao Jizu, Zhang Bixian, and Sheng Wenyu were the deputy generals. The Western Route Army sent troops from Bozhou and took the lead in attacking Bianliang and Luoyang, attracting Wang Baobao's attention.

The army stationed in Xuzhou, with Chang Yuchun as the marshal and Chen Yutou as the vanguard, crossed the Yellow River (equivalent to the current Huai River after the Jialuzhi River) with lightning speed, and took the lead in attacking Shandong.

Hao Ren even postponed the day of moving the capital until after the victory of the Northern Expedition, leaving Liao Yongan, Luo Ben, Mu Youcai, and Yu Tongyuan to sit in Luzhou, Zhang Polu's handsome army to defend Luzhou, Hao Ren personally commanded the main force of the Chinese army, and the cabinet Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao went out with the army, and the army set off from Luzhou as a backup for the Chang Yuchun army that invaded Shandong, and wanted to pacify Shandong in one fell swoop with a thunderous momentum.
