The Duke of Wei seemed to have no way out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The guards Ma Jun Si Du commanded Si Xia Gui to surrender to the Mongolian army, and earned the city, so that the Mongolian army took Ezhou City without paying much price, and Jinghu North Road pacified the deputy envoy and Ezhou Zhizhou Gaoda was captured and killed, which Jia Rudao did not expect at all, he originally planned to let Xia Gui carry the black pot, but he didn't expect that people would simply submit to the Dayuan Dynasty.

Jia Rudao fell into deep fear.

At the beginning, the power game between him and Lu Wende resulted in Lu Wende surrendering to the Yuan court, and Xiangyang Fucheng and Lianghuai were almost occupied by the Mongol army.

There were almost no generals in the court who resisted the Mongol Tatars.

In fear, Jia Nidao began the final struggle, that is, to move the capital of the Great Song Dynasty to Kaifeng Fucheng, relying on Wu Shaogang, the king of Wei, to save the Great Song Dynasty that was on the verge of destruction.

There is no army on the Jiangnan Road that can resist the attack of the Mongol army, and the armies distributed in those places are at most delaying the pace of the Mongol army's attack, and it is impossible to defeat the Mongol army, unless a miracle occurs.

Don't see the coffin and don't shed tears, this is the characteristic of Jia Nidao, until this time, Jia Nidao is still not completely desperate, he sent a messenger again, rushed to Jinghu North Road, trying to find the commander of the Mongolian army Ashu to negotiate, the conditions are still those, the Mongolian army evacuated the south and returned to the north, the Great Song Dynasty court was willing to be a minister, willing to pay tribute to the Great Yuan court every year.

Jia Yidao also knew that it was unlikely that such a negotiation would end well, after all, Ah Shu had already occupied Jinghu North Road and Jinghu South Road, and the next thing was to attack Jiangnan Road, and the army was about to attack Lin'an Mansion City, and the people had such a huge advantage, how could they easily evacuate.

At the same time, Jia Rudao wrote a letter to Wu Shaogang, the king of Wei, clearly stating that the imperial court was preparing to move to Kaifeng Fucheng, and asked Wu Shaogang to make all preparations to welcome the emperor.

Jia Rudao will not give up the power in his hands, and the only thing he can rely on is the Empress Dowager Xie and the emperor.

Once he leaves Lin'an Mansion City and moves the capital to Kaifeng Mansion City, then Jia Nidao's dictatorship will definitely encounter a huge challenge, after all, the imperial court does not have many large armies, and what Jia Nidao can control in his hands is the 130,000 soldiers of the front division of the palace and the guard Ma Junsi, as for the armies in other places, either the imperial court cannot be dispatched, or they do not necessarily obey the dispatch of the imperial court.

Jia Rudao didn't know how many troops there were under the command of Wu Shaogang, the king of Wei, but he knew that the army under the command of Wu Shaogang was strong and could really resist the Mongol Tatars.

If the imperial court moved to Kaifeng Fucheng, Wu Shaogang relied on his strong strength to control the government and exclude him Jia Nidao, it was a very simple matter, and during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the world, Jia Nidao is clear.

More than half a month passed, and the envoy sent to Ezhou to negotiate did not return, but the letter was sent back to the capital, and Ashu not only refused the negotiation of the Great Song Dynasty, but also directly disposed of the envoy sent by the imperial court to express his determination to destroy the Great Song Dynasty.

In the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng, there is no movement.

At this time, Jia Rudao knew that all his guesses had come true, the negotiations with the Mongol army were hopeless, and it was also an extravagant hope to move to Kaifeng Fucheng.

The rest is the last option, move the capital again, move the capital to the south, and move the capital to Fuzhou on the Fujian Road, so that you can temporarily avoid the pursuit of the Mongol army.

But will the relocation of the capital allow the Mongol army not to continue the attack?

Jia Yidao felt again that he seemed to have no way out.

The news of the fall of Ezhou, the death of Gundam and Xia Gui's surrender reached the capital, and the ministers of the court were in an uproar again, and countless voices of denunciation pointed to Xia Gui, Xia Gui's family in the capital became rats crossing the street, and the front division of the palace had sent a sergeant to guard Xia Gui's mansion, and his family was not allowed to go out, waiting for the imperial decree in the mansion.

In fact, there are not many capable civil and military ministers in the court, since the fall of Xiangyang Fucheng, many civil and military ministers have resigned and left the capital and gone to Kaifeng Fucheng, they are no longer willing to continue to stay here.

Those officials who don't have much ability, just want to be able to mess around, will not leave, but unfortunately at the critical moment, they can't put forward any good suggestions, of course, there are also officials loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, who chose to stay in Lin'an Mansion City first.

However, in about two years, the Great Song Dynasty court successively lost Xiangyang, Jiangling, Ezhou, Jiankang, Luzhou and Tanzhou and other cities, Jingnan Road, Jinghu North Road, Jinghu South Road, Huainan East Road and Huainan West Road, etc., the area it can control is getting less and less, and the former prosperous and rich places are also becoming fewer and fewer, and its own strength has also suffered heavy losses.

From June to early July, the rainy season in the south begins, and it also enters the hottest season of the year.

Torrential rains and unbearable heat slowed the Mongol army's offensive.

The commander of the Mongol army, Ashu, received a holy decree from the emperor, asking him to stabilize all the occupied places, not to rush to attack for the time being, and wait until after autumn to launch an attack on the south, and strive to destroy the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible.

Kublai Khan's holy decree is naturally reasonable, the scorching summer season is the season of epidemic disease, the Mongolian army from the north, it is difficult to adapt to the climate and diet of the south, which will lead to the epidemic of disease, greatly weakening the combat effectiveness of the army, several years of Xiangyang battle, the Mongolian army has already had this lesson.

After the capture of Ezhou, Kublai Khan has understood that the destruction of the Great Song Dynasty is a matter of being captured, and there is no need to be in such a hurry, although the Jingnan Road and other places that have been occupied are stabilized, after all, Wu Shaogang, the king of Wei of the Great Song Dynasty who occupied the city of Kaifeng, is still eyeing the side, if Wu Shaogang chooses to launch an attack on Jingnan Road and other places, the army led by Ah Shu may encounter a situation of being caught between the front and back, and the expedition in the previous years may encounter a major impact.

After Ah Shu received the emperor's decree, he consulted with the deputy marshal Ali Hague.

For the emperor's holy decree, Ah Shu does not agree very much, although the Mongolian army under his command, most of them are from the north and the Central Plains, and the climate and diet in the south are not particularly customary, but after these years of conquest, most of the soldiers have adapted to it, and only a small number of Mongolian iron horses from the grassland can not adapt, and now the Great Song Dynasty is unable to maintain, and it is the most vulnerable time, and it is the best choice to take advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.

However, the emperor's decree cannot be violated.

The discussion between Ah Shu and Ali Hague was actually to find a better way from this, whether it was possible to launch an attack on the Great Song Dynasty on the basis of not violating the emperor's holy decree.

Ah Shu thought of using Lu Wende and the surrendered Song army sergeants under Xia Gui to launch an attack on Jiangnan Road.

Of course, Ah Shu did not fully trust these surrendered Song troops, especially those Song troops under Xia Gui, during the period of rest, many of the Song troops who surrendered under Xia Gui violated military discipline and military regulations, and even many people chose to flee first because they disobeyed orders, and most of the escaped sergeants who were captured were executed on the spot.

Ah Shu didn't care about these surrendered Song troops, what he needed was to stabilize the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command.

Now, it is probably the best choice to use these surrendered Song troops to attack the cities of the Great Song Dynasty and open the road to Lin'an Fucheng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, for the Mongol army.

It's a pity that the deputy marshal Ali Hague did not agree to Ashu's arrangement.

Ali Hague believes that these surrendered Song troops have not yet been completely annexed, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong, if they are sent to attack the city, maybe they should cooperate with the Song army in the city, but it will destroy the army's plan to attack, and the emperor's decree has been very clear, that is, to ask the army to rest for a while, and wait until the hot season has passed, and then carry out the expedition.

Ah Shu did not expect Ali Hague to have such an understanding.

In fact, Ah Shu has been thinking about the emperor's holy decree, he thinks that the emperor's holy decree implies other meanings, but it is not clearly said, there is no army in the south that can stop the Mongolian army from moving forward, the only strong army is in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Lin'an Fucheng, once the Song army is defeated in the capital, the Great Song Dynasty will be completely destroyed, at that time, Ah Shu is one of the best heroes of the Great Yuan Court.

Ah Shu actually doubted that someone in the court had made suggestions to the emperor, and the emperor listened to these suggestions, thinking that his Ah Shu's military exploits should not be too big, and others should also share their military exploits.

That is, when Ah Shu hesitated, a letter from his father, Wuliang Hetai, arrived.

The content of Wuliang Hetai's letter is very simple, that is, he asks Ah Shu to follow the emperor's holy decree and not to mess around.

Knowing that the son is not as good as the father, Wuliang Hetai probably knew Ah Shu's thoughts, and wrote a letter at a critical moment, but the reason was not stated in the letter, probably because he didn't want Ah Shu to be distracted.

The unwilling Ah Shu can only obey the emperor's holy decree.

The vast majority of the more than 100,000 troops under his command are still stationed on Jinghu North Road, forming a huge threat to Jiangnan Road.

After arranging everything, Ah Shu specially wrote a memora to the emperor, and at the same time reported to stick to the southwest road of Beijing, he put forward a suggestion that the time for the army to attack can be advanced, and it is not necessary to be limited to autumn, and most of the soldiers under his command have adapted to the climate and diet of the south, and will definitely be able to concentrate on the expedition.

After writing to the emperor, Ah Shu was still a little worried, and he didn't know what the emperor would think.

At the beginning of August, Ah Shu received a decree from the emperor, who ordered the army to attack again in early September while stabilizing the Jingnan Road and other places.
