Chapter 408: It's Too Early to Rejoice
The Yunchuan Festival made Wu Shaogang's twists and turns once again caused a sensation in the court. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The imperial armies of Hezhou occupied the entire Henan Road and recovered the city of Luoyang, so that the entire northwest was almost under the control of the Great Song Dynasty.
Of course, the people in the court thought more about it, or Wu Shaogang was able to lead the army and recover Kaifeng Mansion in one go.
The city of Kaifeng is the eternal pain of the Song Dynasty.
At this time, Jia Rudao was silent and did not talk about it in front of the emperor.
Back Garden, backyard wing.
Among Jia Yidao's staff, there are very few people who can enter the backyard, and the fourth master is one of them.
At this moment, in the wing room, there are only Jia Yidao and the fourth master.
"Fourth master, I'm very worried, Wu Jiedu has recovered Henan Road, occupied Luoyang City, and directly threatened Kaifeng City, but the Mongolian Tartars are still besieging Xiangyang City, and there is no sign of evacuation, what is the reason for this, doesn't Kublai Khan care, he would rather lose Kaifeng Mansion City than capture Xiangyang Mansion City."
This time, Jia Rudao did not intend for the fourth master to answer these questions, but continued to speak.
"Kaifeng Mansion is the capital of my former Song Dynasty, if Wu Jiedu envoy captures Kaifeng Mansion, what should I do next, welcome the emperor and the imperial court, this is almost impossible, most of the Central Plains is still controlled by the Mongolian Tartars, and the emperor will not agree to move the capital to Kaifeng Mansion."
"If the emperor does not move the capital to Kaifeng Mansion, the people in the court will be turbulent, I don't know how many people will ask to move the capital to Kaifeng Mansion and restore the glory of my Great Song Dynasty, so that the court will not be at peace."
"What is the best way, that is, Wu Jiedu envoy stops the attack and threatens Kaifeng Mansion at all times, so that he can distract the attention of the Great Yuan Court and Kublai Khan, so that he cannot attack Xiangyang Mansion with all his strength."
"I think Wu Jiedu's envoy will do this, and he also understands that it is not a good thing to capture Kaifeng Mansion too early."
When he said this, Jia Rudao let out a long sigh and was silent for a while.
The fourth master didn't speak, he knew that Jia Yidao's words hadn't finished yet.
"Wu Jiedu has full wings, the court is helpless against it, I am really worried, when, Wu Jiedu will get rid of the control of the court and establish himself as the king, at that time, my Great Song Dynasty court will be in danger."
Speaking of this, Jia Yidao's face became even more solemn.
After getting along all these years, the fourth master still admires Jia Nidao, Jia Nidao is not as bad as rumored by the outside world, at least he still wants to maintain the court of the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately the current court is no longer what Jia Nidao can revitalize.
After Jia Rudao finished speaking, the fourth master had to speak.
"Wei Guogong's analysis is very much, whether Wu Jiedu envoy will rebel, this is not a matter that Wei Guogong can control, for today's plan, the imperial court still has to entrap Wu Jiedu's envoy, as long as Wu Jiedu envoy does not rebel openly, he can hit the Mongolian Tartars hard, and the court will be able to get peace."
"Fourth master, what you said is right, I really want Wu Jiedu to capture Kaifeng Mansion immediately, so Kublai Khan will not be able to help it, mobilize his troops to Henan, and fight a decisive battle with Wu Jiedu, so that the court can be truly peaceful."
Jia Nidao said these words, so that the fourth master was disappointed, he also thought that Jia Nidao would say the words of counterattack, since Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan court concentrated the main forces in Henan, the imperial court just took advantage of this opportunity to attack on all fronts, and even took Huaibei and other places in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that what Jia Rudao thought about in his bones was still how to be peaceful and didn't have any enterprising spirit.
Of course, Jia Yidao didn't know what the fourth master was thinking, and he continued to talk about his own train of thought.
"Let's wait and see, see what the Sichuan side will say next time, those adults in the court, it seems that they can't help it, what do they know, do they think that Wu Jiedu will be at their mercy, thinking too simply, if you don't understand anything, you know that you can open your mouth to speak, a bunch of waste."
Jia Rudao often commented on the ministers of the court, and the four masters were used to it.
"Fourth master, you said that at this time, can we send an envoy again to negotiate with the Great Yuan Court, after all, Kublai Khan's life is not easy now, if we are interested in negotiating, maybe we can relieve the crisis in Xiangyang Fucheng."
The fourth master's heart began to beat violently, and he understood what Jia Nidao meant, that is, to lead the disaster to Sichuan.
At this time, the fourth master had to continue to speak.
"Wei Guogong, Xia Guan thinks, it's better to wait, the Mongolian Tartars have not relaxed their attack on Xiangyang Fucheng, which shows that their determination has not been shaken, at this time the imperial court sent envoys, it will not have much effect, if Wu Jiedu envoy continues to attack Kaifeng Fucheng, Wei Guogong considers sending envoys, and can also consider."
Jia Rudao's gaze stopped on the empty right arm of the fourth master.
"What the fourth master said is that the time to send a messenger at this time is still a little early, let me think about it again."
The fourth master, who returned to the mansion, did not waste time at all, and immediately wrote a letter to the Sichuan side.
Sichuan, Chengdu Fucheng, the festival of the Yamen, wings.
No one thought that Wu Shaogang had returned to Chengdu, and many people thought that the army would march towards Kaifeng Mansion and recover Kaifeng Mansion in one fell swoop.
Li Tingzhi's face had a look of shame.
"Cangling, I really didn't expect that there would be so much trouble in capturing Kaifeng Fucheng, fortunately you didn't continue to attack, otherwise it would be really troublesome, alas, I also thought that the meaning of Kaifeng Fucheng was not ordinary."
Hao Jing on the side followed and spoke.
"Lord Li, in fact, Xiaguan also thought this way before, the army wants to take Kaifeng Mansion in one fell swoop, so I don't know how many heroes will be under the command of the Lord, read the letter of the fourth master, Xiaguan is also out of a cold sweat, if it is really the capture of Kaifeng Mansion, so that Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan Dynasty have no way to retreat, then the Central Plains and Sichuan should not think about peace."
Li Tingzhi looked at Hao Jing and spoke with a wry smile.
"Lord Hao, I used to want to teach you a hard lesson, but now I know that you have borne everything for Cangling, and Cangling is also blessed to have an assistant like you."
Hao Jing hurriedly stood up and faced; Li Tingzhi saluted.
"Lord Li is serious, this is what the lower officials should do."
Li Tingzhi because of his special status, so he has an unusual status in the Jiedu Envoy Yamen, although Hao Jing is said to be the deputy envoy of Jiedu, but many things, but also to consult Li Tingzhi's opinion, as the Jiedu envoy Wu Shaogang, rarely worry about small things, and is too lazy to worry about tiredness, so many trivial things, are required Hao Jing to make decisions, and after Li Tingzhi came to Sichuan, in fact, these things, Li Tingzhi is making decisions.
Zhang Wenqian, who had never spoken, waited until Hao Jing sat down and then spoke.
"Xiaguan thinks that Kublai Khan did not relax his attack on Xiangyang Fucheng, which is a very strange thing, it is said that he suffered a fiasco in the battle of Henan Road, and the Dayuan court has to adjust its strategy, since it has not been adjusted, and still launched an attack on Xiangyang Fucheng, then the only way for Kublai Khan and Dayuan to calm the situation in the area of Henan Road is to send envoys to negotiate."
Zhang Wenqian's attitude has completely changed, this change, appeared after the battle of Henan Road, nearly 30,000 Mongolian cavalry were defeated, 5,000 Mongolian heavy cavalry suffered total annihilation, which gave great encouragement to Sichuan, Zhang Wenqian, Liu Bingzhong, Dou Mo, Xu Heng, Zhang Hongluo, Zhang Hongfan, Guo Shoujing and others, are all high morale.
This can be understood, after all, these people betrayed the Mongolian court and took refuge in Sichuan, if Wu Shaogang was defeated, they were afraid that they would die without a place to be buried.
Wu Shaogang looked at everyone and nodded with satisfaction.
Zhang Wenqian's ability is indeed outstanding, not only recognized by Wu Shaogang, but also recognized by Li Tingzhi, I really don't know why Kublai Khan didn't pay attention to these elite people.
"What Master Zhang said is right, Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan Dynasty most of the envoys were sent to Sichuan, this time we can open our mouths, anyway, we don't plan to attack Kaifeng Mansion in a short time."
Zhang Wenqian shook his head.
"Not necessarily, when the Mongol army captured Xiangyang Fucheng, it was when the army captured Kaifeng Fucheng, and at that time, Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan court, the main opponent was the adult."
The rest of the people nodded.
Wu Shaogang smiled, and his smile was very comfortable and hearty.
"Okay, everyone I thought of thought of it, and everyone I didn't think of also thought of it, so very good, if Kublai Khan sends an envoy to come, it will be received by Lord Zhang, on behalf of the festival to make the yamen reception, no need to make any requirements, see what the envoy of the Great Yuan Court said, not too many conditions, we can all agree to it, whether to comply with it or not, that's another topic, as for money, there are still some requirements, at least the cost of this army expedition, Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan Court need to pay out."
Everyone was stunned.
Li Tingzhi quickly laughed.
"It's not too good to kill people, Cangling, if Kublai Khan knew about it, wouldn't he vomit blood angrily, defeated others, annihilated other people's precious 5,000 heavy cavalry, and asked others for expenses."
Wu Shaogang coughed a few times.
"I didn't mean that, Lord Zhang, when negotiating, don't say it explicitly, we still have to save face, anyway, we just want money and food, if you want us not to attack Kaifeng Fucheng, if you want the Central Plains to be calm temporarily, you need to pay the price."
"Jia Rudao is also calculating, thinking that I and Kublai Khan will work hard, dream, if we and the Mongolian Tartars are desperate, the Great Song Dynasty can think of forging ahead, taking advantage of the situation to recover some places, this is better to think about it, what they actually think of is tranquility, that is, to watch the excitement, is to let the Mongolian Tartars not attack, such a court, can continue to maintain, heaven does not tolerate it."
When Wu Shao first said this, the surroundings fell silent.
Li Tingzhi sighed slightly, shook his head, but did not speak. (To be continued.) )
