Chapter 359: Counting is Counting
Prince Mo Ge is still in Chengdu Fucheng, and Wu Shaogang leaving at this time is obviously impolite, but in order to achieve his strategic intentions, Wu Shaogang will not care about these things. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Siqi, who negotiated with Prince Moge on behalf of Sichuan and Yunnan, still had to do his best, and could not reject many of the conditions for negotiations put forward by Prince Moge, nor could he express his stance on the most critical issues in the negotiations, so he could only use time to waste it, and according to the arrangements made by Wu Shaogang, when Wu Shaogang left Chengdu Fucheng and went to Lizhou West Road, Li Tingzhi was directly responsible for all matters of the Jiedu envoy Yamen.
In mid-May, Wu Shaogang was about to secretly leave the city of Chengdu, and only a few people knew about it.
Liu Bingzhong also left Chengdu and returned to Yunnan.
Hao Jing, Zhang Rou, Liu Bingzhong, Dou Mo and Guo Shoujing and others, and Prince Mo Ge have all met, although when they met, Prince Mo Ge did not get angry and held back his temper, but according to Yi Cheng, at night, there was a loud noise in the room, and later when someone went to clean up the room, a lot of porcelain fragments were found on the ground.
This was specially arranged by Wu Shaogang, he knew that Prince Mo Ge excluded the Han people in the Mongolian court, and this time let Mo Ge see Hao Jing and others, which was to stimulate the anger of Mo Ge, so that it would be difficult for the Han ministers in the Mongolian court to gain a foothold, and finally deviate from morality.
Once Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road are taken, Wu Shaogang will need to absorb talents on a large scale again, especially those who can manage local affairs.
Jiedu envoy yamen, wings, Li Tingzhi, Hao Jing, Cao Wengang and Yuan Shichun and others are waiting here.
As soon as Wu Shao entered the wing, he spoke directly without sitting down.
"I will go to Lizhou West Road early tomorrow morning, this time to leave Xiangyang City, it will take a while, if it goes well, it is expected that the army will be able to take Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road before winter, and it will take a certain amount of time to stabilize these places, as for the next step of the battle deployment, it still needs information from Xiangyang, Dadu and even Lin'an."
"Li Siqi, the negotiation with the last brother prince, try to delay the time, the longer the better, I think the last brother is not too young, whether he will be able to see Akecha in the future, it is also uncertain, take this opportunity to let them see and talk more, and tell Yicheng that when Akecha goes to the official post, no one is allowed to follow and follow, and they are not allowed to disturb them, otherwise they will be severely punished."
"The last brother must leave Chengdu before we start the war, as for the route, it is recommended to leave from the direction of Chongqing, and do not come to Lizhou West Road."
"This time, we must take Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road cleanly, deal a heavy blow to Kublai Khan and the Mongolian court, and weaken the strength of Kublai Khan and the Mongolian court."
"Kublai Khan wanted to use us, but he didn't think that we would plan it, stabilize the prince of Mogo, and at the same time attack the Central Plains with lightning speed, and when Kublai Khan knows the news, I'm afraid it's too late."
"Father-in-law, many matters in Sichuan and Yunnan, please."
Li Tingzhi looked at Wu Shaogang, and stopped talking, in fact, this time he really wanted to go with him, watching the army win the battle, especially wanting to see the power of the Dingkun army, but unfortunately he couldn't leave, he needed to stay to help Wu Shaogang stabilize the situation, this heavy task was difficult for even Hao Jing to really bear.
Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers.
There is no need to say much about this, Li Tingzhi's understanding is very in place, and there is no need for Wu Shaogang to emphasize too much.
What makes Li Tingzhi feel more emotional is that Wu Shaogang wanted to let Brother Mo stay in Chengdu Mansion for a while, and actually thought that Brother Mo and A Kecha could meet more often, although it was said more implicitly, in fact, it was taken into account that once the army began the expedition, unless Kublai Khan and the Mongolian court were completely defeated, there would be no chance to see Brother Mo again.
Wu Shaogang's children's affection is often revealed inadvertently, but Wu Shaogang has a good grasp of it, and will never affect the overall deployment because of his own affairs.
Wu Shaogang didn't expect it so much, his thoughts had already shifted to Lizhou West Road.
"This expedition is very important, the Mongol Tartars led by Habichi are still stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng, according to our previous predictions, Habichi will be evacuated in a very short time, return to Dadu, if Habichi evacuates the best, if he is unwilling to evacuate, then we will completely defeat him, if we completely defeat Habichi, I am afraid that Kublai Khan will not dare to arbitrarily transfer the army to besiege Xiangyang Fucheng."
"Any decision we make is prudent, and most of them are supported by intelligence, so that we can make better decisions and ensure that everything we do can achieve the goal, but I also want to remind you that there is no such thing as perfect decisions and judgments, especially when it comes to fighting and killing, and there is still a big gambling component."
"The strength component we rely on in the end, if we don't have a strong army to support us, if we don't have enough strength, then everything is in vain, even if we know all the decisions and all the things that the opponent has made, we can't help the opponent, so it is most important to strengthen our own strength."
When he said this, Wu Shaogang was quite emotional.
"After so many years, you are all busy and running around like me, there is almost no time for stability, this situation will last for a long time, when the world will settle down, I don't know, let alone dare to predict, from this step, in fact, we have no way out."
"I don't like to fight, I also want to be able to live in peace and security, guarding my family, but unfortunately I can't, if we don't work hard, in the end not only will it be difficult for us to live, but our family will also encounter persecution and abuse."
"Great chaos must mean great governance, this is the law of history, whether we can grasp the opportunity, depends on how we act, I believe that as long as we work hard, as long as we work hard, the day of great rule in the world will come sooner or later."
Wu Shaogang thought a lot, said a lot, and said a lot, some of the words were made by feeling, in front of the most trusted people, he would not have too much to hide.
"Yuan Shichun, briefly summarize the information obtained by the Intelligence Agency."
After Yuan Shichun clasped his fists and saluted, he opened his mouth to report.
The intelligence information held by the Intelligence Agency is divided into three areas, involving Lin'an, Dadu and Xiangyang.
In terms of Lin'an, the imperial court and Jia Nidao have realized that the Mongolian court is going to make up its mind to capture Xiangyang Fucheng, but because Xiangyang Fucheng is strong and has enough money and food, the Privy Council and Jia Nidao are not particularly worried, but the Mongolian army completely blocked Xiangyang Fucheng, so that the army of galloping aid could not arrive, so that the grain and grass could not be transported in, so that Jia Nidao was a little worried, and began to arrange the deployment of the army of Jingxi and Lianghuai, looking for opportunities to rush.
In terms of Dadu, there is not much movement for the time being, Kublai Khan probably devoted all his energy to the battle of Xiangyang, and did not take into account other matters for the time being, even the Han ministers in the court have temporarily stopped, and the right prime minister Ahma, who is busy raising grain and grass, has no time and energy to calculate the Han ministers in the court.
It was Tachar's whereabouts that attracted the attention of the Intelligence Bureau, Tachar had been going to Mobei for a while, and after defeating Haidu, he did not return to Dadu immediately, nor did he have any news of the return of the troops, which shows that Tachar is still in the Mobei area, closely following the development of the situation in Mobei.
As for Xiangyang, the way to obtain information is getting smaller and smaller.
At the beginning of the year, the Mongolian sailors who had been established defeated the imperial court's sailors through several water expeditions, completely controlled the Yangtze River waterway, and cut off the channels for Xiangyang Fucheng to obtain support from the water.
After the siege was fully completed, Hatan blocked any source of information, which means that Hatan began to clean up the people and households in the encirclement, as for how to clean up, there is no need to say more.
Under such circumstances, the personnel dispatched by the Intelligence Agency could not and did not dare to enter the encirclement of the Mongol army.
After Yuan Shichun finished reporting, Wu Shaogang looked at everyone and spoke again.
"The information we got has not changed much from before, the Duke of Wei seems to understand military affairs, does not know the value of Xiangyang Mansion City, but controls the Privy Council and the government, thinking that Xiangyang Mansion City can be defended, and did not gain time to give Xiangyang Mansion City more aid, and will eventually pay a heavy price, as for the emperor, then don't say much, I am afraid that I have not thought about whether to stick to Xiangyang, everything depends on Jia Yidao."
"The investigation of Xiangyang needs to be paid attention to in the future, but as the battle unfolds, we can know a lot of information from the periphery, and we don't need to take too many risks, but there is one point, the intelligence of Xiangyang is the most important, and it is related to all the decisions and deployments we make."
"Dadu, there will be no big moves in a short period of time, what needs to be paid attention to is that after we take Jingzhaofu Road and Fengxiang Road, what kind of reaction will Dadu will have, what kind of arrangements will be made, this is something that the Intelligence Agency must pay attention to."
"I remind the Intelligence Agency that in the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng, it is necessary to strengthen the investigation, of course, any move by Habichi is an order from Dadu, without Kublai Khan's order, Habichi will not make any moves."
"I have said everything that should be said, the current situation has entered a critical moment, and I hope that officials at all levels will be conscientious and do their part well." (To be continued.) )
