Jingding 3rd year, December 26. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Starting from Qi County, after seven days, the army finally crossed the Huai River and arrived in Shouchun County.

Compared with when he came, Shouchun County was much quieter, and there were no sergeants in the temporary military camp outside the city, and the county commander of Shouchun County, who came to greet him, said that Marshal Xia Gui had led the army to leave Shouchun County ten days ago.

During the march, Wu Shaogang and Li Tingzhi carefully discussed that they must stop the mouths of certain people in the court.

The remaining sergeants of the Loyal and Brave Army are still returning to their original stations, without making any adjustments and changes, and the You Yijun to which the Guards Ma Junsi belongs is a part of the injured sergeants who go back, even if these sergeants return to the army, it is estimated that they will leave due to physical reasons, and the left army, the Xuanfeng Army, and the Xuanfeng Army to which the Zhenjiang Imperial Army belongs, are also a small number of injured and unhealed sergeants go back.

As for the sergeants who returned to the original army, each of them received a certain amount of money, and each of them got genuine silver, not a handicap, and this money was enough to sustain a life for several years.

More than 2,000 prisoners of the Mongolian army were seriously wounded and nearly 200 died during the march, and the rest were escorted to the city of Jiankang by the soldiers of the loyal and brave army, waiting for the emperor's decree and the edict of the Privy Council.

In the end, following Wu Shaogang was about to return to Tongchuanfu Road, there were 19,000 soldiers, including nearly 4,000 Mongolian soldiers from Guishun, this battle, 10,000 soldiers of the Hezhou Imperial Army, nearly 2,000 people were killed, and the losses were also huge, but with sufficient supplies on the soldiers and war horses, the overall combat effectiveness was greatly enhanced.

As a result, the total number of the imperial armies in Hezhou has reached 50,000.

Along the way, Li Tingzhi has always been a little worried, Wu Shaogang saw it, he knew the reason, it was nothing more than the conversation between the chess player and the chess piece, which caused a huge contradiction in Li Tingzhi's heart, on the surface Li Tingzhi is not opposed, in fact, his heart must be entangled, on the one hand, he needs to be loyal to the court, on the other hand, it is family affection, and it is difficult for anyone to make a decision.

Shouchun County, military camp outside the city, military tent in China.

Li Tingzhi and Wu Shaogang sat opposite each other, and there was no one else.

This is Li Tingzhi's request, according to the results of the previous discussions, Li Tingzhi will go straight to the capital via Jiankang Mansion to report on Huaibei related matters, and Wu Shaogang will lead the Hezhou Imperial Army back to Luzhou.

Of course, Mohe Princess Akecha will also be taken to Luzhou Mansion.

"Cangling, Huaibei is just a few months of travel, I will never forget, on the way back, I thought a lot, some things have to be said, otherwise my heart is uneasy."

"Father-in-law can just say whatever he wants to say, Cangling listens to it."

Li Tingzhi nodded, and then spoke.

"I remember a few years ago, you were ordered to exterminate the Mongol mission, at that time I felt that you were brave and wise, but at that time, I was not able to fully know your ability, this time it is different, according to my understanding and analysis, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, no one can compare with you, one day, you will finally step on the peak."

"My father-in-law praised me, Cangling didn't dare to think so."

"In front of me, you don't need to hide it, all your actions and actions, you can't hide from me, I once told you, the Mongolian Tatars in the north are eyeing each other, and one day they will kill me on a large scale and threaten the world of the Great Song Dynasty, this day will not be too far away, as a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, I can only do my best to see the will of heaven with all my strength, but this time I witnessed the courage of the imperial army in Hezhou, my opinion has changed a lot."

Wu Shaogang looked at Li Tingzhi, his eyes became focused, and he stopped talking.

"The bravery of the imperial army in Hezhou, sooner or later the court will know, at that time, a lot of contradictions will appear, if you let it go, then such a brave army, it is very likely that it will be invisible, you don't want to see this situation, I don't want to see it either."

"Think about how strong the Yue family army was back then, but Marshal Yue was wronged and died, and the Yue family army disappeared."

Wu Shaogang frowned slightly, it seems that Li Tingzhi is really thinking far-reaching, fools know that Yue Fei was calculated by the emperor, Qin Hui is just an accomplice, and he has been infamous for thousands of years, if he Wu Shaogang continues to develop according to the current situation, he will undoubtedly become the second Yue Fei.

"It is necessary to keep the strong Hezhou Imperial Army, not only for the sake of the imperial court, but also for the people of the world."

"I have been thinking about that conversation between you and me a few days ago, and to tell you the truth, I had a great fear in my heart, and I even tried to persuade you to give up, but I finally changed my mind."

"Not to mention the defeat of the Mongolian army in Qi County and Xigu Town, let's just say that in Mengcheng, the army swaggered through the official road, and the Mongolian army shrank in the city, not daring to move, this is the first time I have seen this situation, in the past it was a completely opposite scene, the imperial army was guarding the city, and could only watch the Mongolian army swaggering and withdrawing, and did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle."

"This scene touched me too much, the strength of the court and the tranquility of the people relied entirely on the strength of the army, but unfortunately this situation has disappeared for hundreds of years."

"The struggle for power and profit between the DPRK and China used to be a very common situation in my opinion, and even when I analyzed that I was being calculated by others, I was able to try to calm down and correct my mentality, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that this is helplessness, despair and cowardice."

When Li Tingzhi said this, Wu Shaogang was a little moved, although the three heroes of the late Song Dynasty were written in history, but the real pillars of the material should belong to ministers like Li Tingzhi, they have a sober and profound understanding, and many times they are even willing to compromise and seek perfection, for the peace of the world, as for the three heroes of the late Song Dynasty, to a certain extent, there is still a big lack of ability.

"Cangling, the debate between the chess players and the chess pieces is just between you and me, what plan you have, I will not interfere, but try to tell me that when a great change occurs one day, I will definitely support you."

"This is a matter involving the life of the family, and even the fate of the entire family, I hope you will be cautious."

When he said this, Li Tingzhi let out a long sigh.

"Maybe this is the destiny of heaven, when I married my daughter to you, I never thought of facing today's choice, since this is fate, then I can only accept it, if there are any matters in the DPRK and China in the future, I will try my best to argue for you."

When Wu Shao was just about to stand up, Li Tingzhi waved his hand.

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet."

"Princess Mohe's attitude towards you, I can see it, this girl's heart is afraid that it is tied to you, a man's three wives and four concubines are nothing, although you are my son-in-law, but I can't be too arbitrary, I once thought that this matter was unlikely, no matter what, it is unreasonable to be reasonable, but I am a little relieved when I think of the story of the chess player and the chess piece."

"Behind Princess Mohe is Prince Moge, in time, this will definitely become a key chess piece, and now this chess piece is very likely to be in your hands, it depends on how you operate."

"But I want to remind you that this matter must not be made public for a few years, and if you are not careful, this good move will become a bad move, so that it will affect all your future affairs."

"What I mean is to let Princess Mohe return to the grassland temporarily, as long as Princess Mohe's heart is in your body, no one else can control it, and this chess piece will always be under your control."

"I arranged it like this, maybe you are unhappy in your heart, but there are some things that you can see clearly, when you became my son-in-law, it was not the relationship between the chess player and the chess piece."

"I have said all these words, not only for myself and my family, but also for your future."

"As I get older, I experience more things, and I think about them more, and once I see through some things, I can't help but feel like I am out of the way, unwilling to step into it, and willing to go with the flow, just like a sailboat on this big river, withstanding countless waves, but losing its true destination."

"Cangling, you know all my thoughts and thoughts, I don't know what you plan to do next."

Finally it was his turn to speak, and Wu Shaogang would not hide his thoughts.

"Father-in-law's heartfelt words, Cangling wrote down word for word, Cangling's previous plan was to manage Tongchuan Fu Road well, bring it to the place to stabilize, to the west to plot Chengdu Fu Road, and then to the south to plot Yunnan, so that it completely cut off the Mongolian attempt to encircle the south, but also expanded the area, now it seems that this step is too hasty, there are great difficulties, Tongchuan Fu Road is limited, barren for a long time, it is difficult to support the huge expenses, the real wealth is still two Huai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, so Cangling hopes, when necessary, I can still get the support of my father-in-law. ”

"Cangling's plan will not change, Chengdu Fu Road is also rich, Cangling has a full grasp, or will be the first to take Chengdu Fu Road, as for Yunnan and Tubo and other places, it depends on whether the timing is appropriate."

。。。

Li Tingzhi's eyes once again became deep.

"Cangling, your plan is feasible and the best, but you must be vigilant at one point, Chengdu Fulu is too important for Mongolia, and once it fails, Kublai Khan may even personally lead a large army to conquer."

"What my father-in-law said is, so Cangling needs to have enough strength, didn't the Battle of Diaoyu City a few years ago force the Mongol Tatars to retreat to the grassland, if Kublai Khan wants to conquer in person, Cangling doesn't mind another Battle of Diaoyu City."

"Haha, what a big breath, ambitious, courageous, a month ago, I heard you say this, I must have thought you were too arrogant, now don't look at it like this, do what you want, once you recover Chengdu Fulu, your influence in the court will definitely increase greatly, and then people will not dare to calculate you easily."
