In the seventh year of Xianchun, the fifth day of the third month. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The 80,000 soldiers of the Hezhou Imperial Army and the Dingkun Army set off from Song County and Yongning County respectively and headed for Luoyang Fucheng.

What Wu Shaogang could not have known was that on the first day of the first month of March, the 20,000 Mongolian iron cavalry led by the Mongolian prince Moge also set off from Dadu and rushed to Kaifeng Fucheng, where they were stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng and his 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, and some of the new annexed troops stationed in Huaibei also set off from the garrison on the same day and rushed to Kaifeng Fucheng.

Compared with Wu Shaogang's calm appearance and cautious heart, Brother Mo was ambitious and expected to establish great achievements, and under the support of this idea, Brother Mo was eager to put on his wings, flew to Kaifeng Fucheng, and after discussing the battle plan with Ha Bichi, he quickly led the whole army to attack and completely defeated the Song army under Wu Shaogang.

The emperor's reprimand under the rage deeply stimulated Brother Mo, the sharp words, the merciless lesson, as if a steel knife was inserted into Brother Mo's chest, such humiliation is unbearable for Brother Mo, it needs to be vented, and the best object to vent is Wu Shaogang and the Song Army under his command.

Brother Mo is not a general who leads the army to fight, nor is he a wise and brave strategist, but Brother Mo has the biggest advantage, that is, he has assisted the emperor for a long time, and under the influence of hearing and seeing, he has an extraordinary ability to control the situation, and it is for this reason that the emperor will rest assured and boldly let Brother Mo be fully responsible for the affairs of the Central Plains.

The Central Plains was no longer peaceful, from the day the Song army stationed in Sichuan occupied the Jingzhaofu Road.

Brother Mo once served as an envoy of the imperial court, went to Sichuan to negotiate with Wu Shaogang, the envoy of the Yunchuan Festival of the Great Song Dynasty, and the imperial court also sent a special envoy to Lin'an, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, in an attempt to provoke the relationship between Wu Shaogang and the Great Song Dynasty, and later sent the Han minister Zhang Wenqian to Sichuan to negotiate, but unfortunately all these arrangements and deployments were not successful.

Not only that, Wu Shaogang actually led the army to attack Henan Road at a critical moment.

Many of the operational deployments planned by the emperor and Brother Mo and others were almost destroyed by the Song army stationed in Sichuan.

This time, Brother Mo went to Henan Road on behalf of the emperor and the Great Yuan court to end all the waves and turmoil.

The determination and purpose of the Great Yuan Imperial Court to destroy the Great Song Dynasty and unify the world cannot be shaken.

If you start from the analysis of the heart, Brother Mo actually supports Abuligo's many strategies, but after analyzing the strength and ability of Kublai Khan and Abuligo, from the perspective of the future of the Mongolian court, Brother Mo chose to support Kublai Khan without hesitation, and the development of the facts also proves that Brother Mo's judgment is correct.

For a long time, Brother Mo has been serving in the court, and rarely leaves the capital, and the emperor's reliance on Brother Mo has always been the jealousy of other Mongolian princes and magnates, and this jealousy even broke out within a period of time, which made Brother Mo have the greatest vigilance, but now the situation is different, the powerful Dayuan Dynasty has encountered a threat, and many combat deployments are likely to experience setbacks.

During the march, Brother Mo took the lead in setting an example, eating with many soldiers, riding horses together, and Brother Mo also issued a special order, whether it was the head of Wanhu or the marshal, in the process of marching, there was no special treatment, and the army must arrive at Kaifeng Mansion as soon as possible.

The new annexed army in Huaibei received the marching order more severely, and the last brother ordered them to arrive at Kaifeng Mansion in ten days, you must know that Huaibei is more than 1,000 miles away from Kaifeng Mansion City, and most of the new annexed army military is mainly foot soldiers, and the number of cavalry is not very large, which means that the foot soldiers of the new annexed army must maintain the speed of marching 100 miles every day, and finally arrive at Kaifeng Fucheng, and no matter what kind of bad weather they encounter, they can not delay time.

In his opinion, the new annexed army must fight side by side with the Mongol iron cavalry, and the most important point is that Brother Mo pays attention to intelligence matters.

After the army set out from Dadu, Brother Mo sent multiple scouts to reconnoiter the situation on the march, the situation on Henan Road, and the situation in Luoyang Fucheng.

According to the analysis of the last brother, Wu Shaogang and the Song army under his command, the next target of the battle is to target Luoyang Fucheng, once the Luoyang Fucheng is occupied, the Mongolian army stationed on Henan Road will be discouraged and unable to hold on, and at that time, the entire Henan Road will naturally be taken by Wu Shaogang.

Brother Mo's first combat mission was to keep Luoyang Mansion City, and under the condition of ensuring that Luoyang Mansion City would not fall, drag Wu Shaogang and the Song army under his command, and wait for the opportunity for a decisive battle.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Brother Mo mercilessly asked to speed up the march.

Wu Shaogang and his army must not be allowed to quickly capture Luoyang Fucheng.

The scout had already rushed towards Luoyang Mansion City with the order of Brother Mo, and Brother Mo, who was marching quickly, could only pray for God's blessing and bless Wu Shaogang and the Song army under his command from attacking Luoyang Mansion City for the time being.

The Mongolian prince Habichi, who was stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng, was in a different mood.

Habichi has been in Kaifeng Mansion for nearly three years, it can be said that he has become the actual overlord of Henan Road and Kaifeng Prefecture, and the young Boyan is naturally obedient to Habichi's dispatch, and the Mongolian iron cavalry and the new annexed army stationed in this area are completely under the dispatch of Habichi.

The Song army led by Wu Shaogang raided Songzhou and Shaanzhou, and occupied these places, which was indeed unexpected by Habichi, and also dealt a heavy blow to Habichi.

The emperor asked Prince Mo Ge to be responsible for the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion and the Central Plains, Ha Bichi already knew, he was very unconvinced, obviously he led the army to be stationed in Kaifeng Mansion, why did the emperor still let Brother Mo be responsible, and Brother Mo himself was in Dadu, and he did not understand many situations in Kaifeng Mansion City, so it was impossible to handle many matters well.

Because the emperor asked Brother Mo to be responsible for many matters, Ha Bichi simply looked for trouble, and asked Boyan to send all the matters in Kaifeng Mansion to Dadu, so that Prince Mo Ge could review and approve it, which was definitely unrealistic, Boyan was very embarrassed, and he didn't dare to offend the two princes, so many things were pressed down like this.

With such efficiency, Wu Shaogang led the Song army to attack Henan Road, and Kaifeng Fucheng naturally couldn't react.

After the loss of Songzhou and Shaanzhou, Ha Bichi, who was like thunder, did not even prepare to report to the imperial court, so he led a large army to attack the Song army.

So the recital signed by Habichi and Boyan arrived at the imperial court.

Let Ha Bichi's unexpected situation happen again, the emperor actually authorized Brother Mo this time to deal with the Central Plains, Kaifeng Fucheng, Henan Road matters, Ha Bichi assisted Prince Moge.

Brother Mo has a holy decree in his hand, there is a token given by the emperor, even if Ha Bichi is arrogant to the sky, he doesn't dare to fart, he knows very well that the emperor is the master of killing decisively, if he Ha Bichi makes trouble at this time, the light one will be punished by the emperor and cut off the prince's position, and the heavy one may be thrown into prison.

However, Habichi was extremely depressed, and he couldn't find a place to vent his inner temper.

In the future, everything in Kaifeng Mansion City will obey Brother Mo's orders, and Habichi's duties are similar to those of Boyan, that is, to do things according to Brother Mo's requirements, or to lead the army to fight.

For a long time, the princes such as Hedan, Habichi and Tachar have been a little envious and jealous of the power of the last brother, they are all Mongolian princes, why is the power of the last brother so great, and in terms of leading the army, Hedan and others can be said to be the pillars of the Mongolian court, you must know that the Mongolian steppe has always worshiped the brave.

Once upon a time, Hedan and others also saw hope, and the emperor began to alienate Brother Mo, but this situation lasted for a short time, and Brother Mo soon gained the emperor's trust again.

Ha Bichi didn't understand why Brother Mo was highly trusted and relied on by the emperor.

Perhaps Habichi, who is accustomed to leading troops in battle, is simple-minded, and travels on the go, will never understand the mystery.

Part of the new annexed army stationed on Henan Road and Kaifeng Mansion has been concentrated outside the city of Kaifeng Prefecture, plus the 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry led by Ha Bichi, its total strength has reached 30,000 people, Ha Bichi believes that with these forces, it is enough to defeat Wu Shaogang and his Song army, but unfortunately, Ha Bichi received an order from the last brother to be sure to wait in Kaifeng Fucheng.

The 20,000 Mongolian cavalry led by Brother Mo and the 30,000 new annexed troops drawn from Huaibei were rushing to Kaifeng Mansion City day and night, and the new annexed army stationed in Luoyang Mansion City also received orders from Brother Mo and Ha Bichi that they must defend it to the death, and they could not let the Song army capture Luoyang Mansion City.

Habichi is not very busy, on the contrary, he is very idle, but Boyan is different.

This time, Boyan was also reprimanded, after all, he assisted Habichi in garrisoning Kaifeng Fucheng, and the matters of people's livelihood are mainly responsible for Boyan, and anyone can see that the young Boyan has taken on a heavy responsibility, that is, he has been highly trusted by the emperor, and his future prospects are unlimited.

After the Song army occupied Songzhou and Shaanzhou, Boyan quickly suggested to Ha Bichi that he must concentrate his forces to deal with the next expedition of the Song army, and at the same time report to the emperor and the imperial court, attaching great importance to the situation on Henan Road and Kaifeng Fucheng.

After the emperor's decree and the edict of Prince Moge arrived in Kaifeng Fucheng, Boyan began to be busy, and after obtaining the consent of Prince Habichi, Moge sent 5,000 new troops to Luoyang Fucheng to help hold on, and at the same time did his best to raise grain and grass to meet the upcoming Prince Moge.
