Chapter 106: An Unexpected Opportunity
Li Tingzhi's letter and the fourth master's letter arrived in Jiangxia Village almost at the same time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two letters talk about the same thing, the Luzhou prefect and Tongchuan Road pacified the deputy envoy Liu Quan, who rebelled and surrendered to Mongolia, and Yu Xing, the envoy of the Sichuan system, was defeated by Liu Quan, which shook the imperial court.
Liu Cheng is a native of Dengzhou, the end of Jin defected to the Southern Song Dynasty, belongs to the command of Meng Heng, its combat bravery, repeated military exploits, Jingding was promoted to the Luzhou prefect and Tongchuan Road pacification deputy envoy in the first year, but unfortunately Liu Cheng is a northerner, encountered the suspicion and suspicion of many civil and military ministers in the south, just when the imperial court implemented the plan law, the Sichuan system made Yu Xing take the opportunity to plot against Liu Quan, and got the support of the ambassador Lu Wende, just when they were ready to start, Liu Cheng got the news.
Without doing anything, Liu Quan simply rebelled and surrendered to Mongolia.
The area around Luzhou and Tongchuan is close to Chengdu Fu Road, and Chengdu Fu is occupied by the Mongolian general Liu Heima, Liu Cheng is willing to surrender to Mongolia with 300,000 households in 15 counties under the jurisdiction of Luzhou Prefecture, which has aroused the doubts of the Mongolian high-level, after all, the location of Luzhou is too important.
In the first year of Tianqing, the army led by the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge was to attack Luzhou and Hezhou, and was wounded and died in the Battle of Diaoyu City, that time if Meng Ge successfully won Hezhou, he could directly attack Chongqing, Fuzhou and other places, occupy Kuizhou Road, to the south can take Guangnan West Road, to the east can take Jinghu North Road and Jinghu North Road, and the army led by Kublai Khan will make peace, at that time, the Southern Song Dynasty court is facing the situation of destruction.
Taking a step back, occupying the Tongchuan Road, the Sichuan defense line that the Great Song Dynasty was proud of, was mostly weakened, and the western defense line was close to collapse, such an important place, no wonder the Great Song Dynasty attached great importance to it.
At the critical moment, the Mongolian Chengdu Road Army and Horse Strategy made Liu Heima resolutely accept Liu Quan's surrender and fully believe it.
In early June, Liu Cheng began his operation, he killed the opponents among the officials, opened the gates of Luzhou, welcomed Liu Heima's son Liu Yuanzhen into the city, and formally surrendered to Liu Yuanzhen.
Liu Quan, who surrendered, was immediately appointed by the Mongolian court as the pacification envoy of Kuizhou Road.
In July, Yu Xing, the envoy of Sichuan, was defeated by Liu Quan.
After reading the letter, Wu Shaogang fell into deep thought, he knew very well that the critical moment had come, and the opportunity he had been waiting for had also come unconsciously.
Jia Nidao's plan has liquidated many civil and military officials in the DPRK and China, and many important positions have been vacant, and many officials in the DPRK who have climbed to Jia Nidao are thinking of filling the vacancy, Wu Shaogang can't do anything at this time, he doesn't want to bear a bad reputation, and he doesn't want to have any direct relationship with Jia Nidao.
This time Liu Cheng suddenly rebelled, completely out of the expectations of the imperial court, and the Sichuan system made Yu Xingfeng edict to quell the rebellion, but was defeated by Liu Quan, causing a greater shock, presumably at this time, no one in the court was willing to rush to Luzhou, which was located in the remote area, to exterminate Liu Quan.
Tongchuan Road belongs to the northwest of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Luzhou, the seat of its government, is 3,600 miles away from the capital, which is one of the most remote places in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Tongchuan Road and Luzhou also have a special place, that is, this is the place where it is handed over to the Mongol occupation territory, which belongs to the front line, and it is often possible to encounter battles, so there is no need to think about being able to be stable.
The importance of geographical location is not at all something that the ministers of the DPRK Chinese military affairs need to consider, what they think of is that the place is close to the capital, rich and prosperous, and other things do not need to be considered.
Wu Shaogang had a map of Sichuan in front of him.
Tongchuanfu Road is located in the west of Sichuan, Chengdu Mansion in the west and Yunnan in the southwest are all occupied by Mongolia, and Tongchuanfu Road is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not only a strategic place, but also the best place to stick to self-protection and develop strength.
The imperial court will never allow the loss of Tongchuan Fu Road.
Since ancient times, Sichuan has been called the country of abundance, a poem that Shu is difficult to go to the blue sky, which shows the special geographical location of the country of abundance, and the Shu country during the Three Kingdoms period was established in Sichuan, a rich land.
If Wu Shaogang can seize the opportunity to go to Tongchuan Road to develop, it is undoubtedly the best choice.
However, the complex terrain and difficult conditions in the area of Tongchuan Mansion are difficult for ordinary people to bear, Wu Shaogang, as the commander of the urging army under the front division of the palace, asked to go to Luzhou to quell the rebellion, and will undoubtedly get the support of the imperial court, but following Wu Shaogang's family, he will really have to follow the hardships.
Wu Shaogang and Li Hanwei have only been married for a few days, and the two are still in a state of running-in, but there is one thing that Wu Shaogang can be regarded as a teacher, that is, Li Hanwei's temper is indeed a little stubborn.
Li Hanwei should have accepted her mother's teachings, and when she was newly married, she paid attention to her own performance, and a lot of her temper and personality were not revealed, but after she got married, it was different, and she immediately began to behave.
Because she had never been to the countryside, the day after her wedding, Li Hanwei actually rode a horse around the village, and Zhang Binghui and others were fully armed to follow and protect her. Maybe it was because I felt happy, or maybe it was because I was depressed at home for too long, for a few days in a row, Li Hanwei rode around on horseback, and after going home, she also told Wu Shaogang that she didn't want to go back to the capital, and it would be best if she could live in Jiangxia Village.
The conditions at home are second to none in Jiangxia Village, even in Luzhou, they are at the forefront, Li Hanwei will not feel uncomfortable in life here, as for other entertainment, girls are different from men.
Li Hanwei's request is of course reasonable, as the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, she should have honored her father-in-law and in-laws at home and guarded the family, but unfortunately Wu Shaogang's idea was not like this.
This home in Jiangxia Village, Wu Shaogang planned to let his younger brother Wu Shaozun run it, as for him, his ambition is no longer here at all.
Now, the opportunity has come out, and Wu Shaogang must make a final decision immediately.
This matter, Wu Shaogang needs the support of Li Hanwei, if Li Hanwei can follow to Tongchuan Road, it is the best, if not, then stay in Jiangxia Village, of course, you can also go back to the capital, Wu Shaogang has a mansion in the capital.
The habit he developed before crossing made Wu Shaogang feel that he had to consult Li Hanwei's opinion, but in fact, he could make his own decisions about this matter.
Wu Shaogang knew that he would go to Tongchuan Road, not for a few months, but for several years, and once Liu Quan's rebellion was put down in Luzhou, Wu Shaogang would stay in Luzhou and begin to strengthen his own strength.
After eating, head back to the bedroom.
Li Hanwei still had a smile on her face, and for many days, she was either riding a horse around the village under the protection of Zhang Binghui and others, or playing the piano with Wu Shaolan and others at home, and she was very happy.
Seeing Wu Shaogang's slightly serious expression, Li Hanwei pouted and spoke.
"Official, do you think that the slave family is too wild and runs around, and the slave family likes this."
Wu Shaogang shook his head slightly.
"Lady, I don't have so many old-fashioned requirements, you just ride a horse outside every day, it's nothing."
"That's good, the officials still know the slave's thoughts."
"Alright, I have three ideas for you to choose from."
Li Hanwei blinked her eyes and looked at Wu Shaogang, she didn't understand what this meant.
"Lady, you and I are one, we are already a family, I have to discuss the affairs of this family, I am not willing to force others to do things that I don't want to do, and the same is true for my family, so I am ready to decide the matter, I must discuss with you to see what your opinion is."
"You said it, if you want to stay in Jiangxia Village, there is no problem, as long as you want, you can also go back to the capital, I have a mansion in the capital, it is not very big, and life is enough, but the two choices you make will not be by my side."
Li Hanwei almost jumped up, glared and spoke.
"What do you mean by this, official, do you dislike the slave family?"
"No, the next place I'm going to is not Jiangxia Village, nor the capital, it may be a place with very difficult conditions, you are a beautiful lady, you have never suffered since you were a child, and it is difficult to adapt to following me, so I want you to stay in Jiangxia Village, or go back to the capital."
"The slave family should follow the side of the officials."
"Lady, it's easy to say, but it's not easy to do, you still have to think about it seriously, I'm a soldier, it's my duty to protect my family and defend the country, you shouldn't follow my side and suffer."
"No, the slave family will follow the officials."
Wu Shaogang looked at Li Hanwei, and after a long while, he gently hugged Li Hanwei in his arms.
"Lady, since you have made a decision, then we are ready to endure hardships together, the lady treats me with sincerity, and I will definitely repay the lady with sincerity."
Li Hanwei's body trembled slightly, curled up in Wu Shaogang's arms, and did not speak.
Wu Shao just replied to Li Tingzhi, the content of which was very clear, that is, he asked to go to Luzhou to quell Liu Quan's rebellion, and stay on Tongchuan Fulu after quelling the rebellion.
At the same time, Wu Shaogang also wrote a petition to the imperial court, imploring him to serve the imperial court, enter the Tongchuan Mansion Road, suppress Liu Quan's rebellion, and stabilize the situation in Sichuan for the imperial court.
Wu Shaogang also wrote a letter to Ma Huaxuan, the commander of the former division of the palace, saying his thoughts, if he got the permission of the imperial court to go to Tongchuan Mansion Road to quell the rebellion, he still led these soldiers who completed the task of welcoming relatives this time, and at the same time needed to carry some food, grass and equipment, and asked for Ma Huaxuan's support.
Finally, Wu Shaogang wrote a letter to the fourth master, thanking the fourth master for providing a lot of information, and at the same time asking the fourth master to pay close attention to the movements of the court during this time, and report anything immediately.
After doing these things, Wu Shaogang summoned Zhang Binghui and the others and told them that they were about to start the expedition and fighting, and all the sergeants had to be prepared, and this time the combat mission would not be easy. (To be continued.) )
