Gao Huaiyuan also had a bitter word this time, although he had decided to defend Xuzhou, but he also knew that the next war would be very tragic, and it could even be said to be very dangerous, he knew very well that the decision he made this time was a double-edged sword, if it was used well, it could make the Mongolian army collapse, but if it was not used well, the outcome would also be unbearable for the Southern Song Dynasty!

Because he knows his current status in the eyes of the Song people, if Xu Zhou is defeated, his myth will be shattered, I don't know how many people are waiting to see his jokes! I don't know if after hearing the news of his defeat, some people will really run out into the street and set off firecrackers!

And once he dies in Xuzhou, how big the blow will be to the Song army from all walks of life, he also knows that this era is at least temporarily incapable of replacing his position in the eyes of the Song army soldiers, once he is defeated and dies, not only Meng Heng and Li Xiaotian's two armies will be completely destroyed, but the other armies are afraid that even if their morale will be greatly reduced, they will no longer be able to fight a decisive battle with the Mongol army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info then everything will return to the original historical trajectory, Zhao Yun returned to power, purged the army's generals, and finally the Song army returned to its previous state, and the Southern Song Dynasty will irretrievably perish.

Therefore, his decision this time also has a lot of speculative elements, and it can be said that it has become an all-or-nothing gamble, no matter who wins in the end between Song and Meng, then he will become the master of this world.

In order to prevent the Mongol army from dividing its troops to the south when encircling Xuzhou, he had to make the Song army in the south tightly defended, so he could not concentrate his forces in Xuzhou and the Mongol army for a decisive battle, he had to wait for the victory of the other Song armies before he could recover the disadvantage, before that, his Song army could basically be said to be a lone army.

The disparity between the forces of the two sides can now be very different, whether he can hold Xuzhou, he can't say that he is absolutely sure, after all, this is not a strong big city, the number of materials is not sufficient, all kinds of situations are not very favorable, and the limited strength He also had to divide troops to garrison Xuzhou and Junzhou, which made his troops seem much thinner. But Gao Huaiyuan finally made up his mind, he shouldn't belong to this era, since he came to this era by mistake, why should he spare his life, if he wants to gamble, bet bigger, let the sky decide who will dominate this era!

After Meng Heng led the army to withdraw into Xuzhou, the outside of Xuzhou was completely abandoned by the Song army, and all the soldiers and civilians on the Song army side were gathered into the city of Xuzhou, ready to rely on the city to hold on.

After Meng Hui returned to Xuzhou City, he immediately found Gao Huaiyuan, and when he saw Gao Huaiyuan, he showed an angry face, and he didn't care about his identity, so he loudly drank the guards and generals in the hall out of the hall, and then reached out and took off the bronze helmet on his head, and said angrily to Gao Huaiyuan with wide eyes: "I'll call you a handsome again, and after calling this handsome, I'm going to call you a third brother!"

You want to defend Xuzhou City this time, I have no opinion and I support your plan, but I don't agree with you staying in Xuzhou City!

You also know that you are now the commander of the entire army of the Great Song Dynasty, how can you risk your life to stay in such a dangerous place? This time the Mongolian army is menacing, it can be said that it is desperate to take Xuzhou City, as the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty, how can you stay here at this time?

If you can trust me Meng Heng, then take advantage of the fact that the Mongolian army has not yet completed the siege of Xuzhou, quickly take your escort army out of the city and withdraw to Caizhou, and take command in Caizhou!

I, Meng Heng, promise you with the head of Master Xiang that as long as I, Meng Heng, still have a breath of air, Xuzhou City will never be captured by the Mongol army! Can't you still trust me? Hurry up and leave Xuzhou and go to Caizhou! ”

Gao Huaiyuan looked at the angry Meng Hui with some surprise, and asked Meng Hui in a surprised tone, "Even the eldest brother thinks I should leave now?" If I retreat to Caizhou at this time, what will the soldiers who stay in Xuzhou think? ”

"What do you think? With me, of course! It is said that the new annexed army of Hebei and the Han army of Liaodong are also moving here, you are obviously not suitable to stay here, once the Mongolian army besieges Xuzhou, you, as the commander of the Song army, are surrounded here, won't it also shake the heart of the army?

I know your temper, but this is not the time to be rash, you should go to Caizhou quickly! With you in the back, we can also rest assured in Xuzhou to resist the enemy! Wouldn't that be better? Meng Hui still tried hard to persuade Gao Huaiyuan to leave Xuzhou first and retreat to Caizhou. Zhou Hao, who had never spoken much, also stood up at this time, and persuaded Gao Huaiyuan with some worry: "Dashuai, Lord Meng's words are good, you better go to Caizhou first!" If you are afraid that there will be insufficient troops here, you are willing to lead two thousand adults to stay here and help Lord Meng defend this place! After all, you have a heavy responsibility, and the Privy Council Counsellors are also here, so if the Mongol army besieges the city, won't you be able to command the Zhulu army? ”

"You don't have to persuade me! Now I'm not leaving! Now that the affairs of the army have been arranged, they all know what to do, with or without my command! What's more, Hua Yue is in Hezhong Mansion, and I have already ordered all the troops to report to Hua Yue if they can't contact me for urgent military affairs, and they will make a decision for him!

If I stay here, the other armies will have a sense of danger, and they will speed up! What's more, you and I both know what Ogedai is running to, and as soon as I leave, will he still be dragged here? You must know that I am the biggest bait, I am here, he can bite the hook, I leave here, will Ogedai still focus all his energy here? Wouldn't all our plans be in vain?

What's more, there are so many soldiers in Xuzhou City, although it is true that there are many Mongolian troops, but it is not necessarily that Xuzhou is dead, and we are not necessarily afraid of Mongolian Tartars! If Brother Meng thinks that he has no confidence to hold Xuzhou City, then I will announce that the whole army will retreat, if Brother Meng thinks that Xuzhou City can be defended, then what difference does it make if I stay or not?

Brother Meng won't talk about this matter anymore, let's arrange the city defense as soon as possible! I want the Mongolian army to slowly drain the blood under the city of Xuzhou! Only in this way can we solve the problem of Mongolian tartars! Gao Huaiyuan still shook his head and rejected Meng Hui. Meng Hui was commanded by Gao Huaiyuan, and he choked enough, and then persuaded Gao Huaiyuan to leave, it seems that he has no confidence in holding Xuzhou City, don't persuade it, this pre-army thing can't ensure that there is no one in case, and after holding it for a long time, Meng Heng paused and said: "Okay!" Then I won't advise you! With that, he sat down heavily in his chair.

"That's it! Brother Meng, don't be angry! Hehe! What are the Tartars afraid of? Now our Song Army is not the same as it was back then! Anyone who wants to bully can be bullied! You and your soldiers have just returned, so let's take a rest! During this time, you and Xiaotian intercepted the Tartar army in the north, and the loss was not small, so it's good to rest first! I have time to take a look at the city defense of Xuzhou City, see how I arrange it, and see if there is anything that has not been carefully considered!

Zhou Hao sent an order, so that the officers and soldiers of the three armies retreated into the Xuzhou earthen fortress, no one is allowed to fight without the order of the official, the Tartars come to attack, just give me to fight them back, in short, I want to let them die as much as possible! Gao Huaiyuan walked up to Meng Heng, patted Meng Heng's shoulder gently, and then instructed Zhou Hao...

Zhou Hao saw that Gao Huaiyuan had already made up his mind to sit in Xuzhou City in person, so he didn't say anything more, and immediately turned around and went down to give orders on behalf of Gao Huaiyuan.

After Meng Heng thought for a while, his face softened, since he couldn't persuade Gao Huaiyuan, their brothers couldn't really turn their faces because of this, not to mention that Gao Huaiyuan was the boss, if he didn't leave, he couldn't tie him up and drive him away, so he picked up the helmet and said angrily: "That's it!" You're handsome, I can't control you! I'm going to look around and see if there's anything else I can do to help! ”

After saying that, Meng Hui put his helmet on his head and strode out of the Shuai Mansion...

On September 19 of the fifth year of Shaoding, 70,000 Mongolian troops gathered outside the city of Xuzhou, surrounded the city of Xuzhou, and the new annexed army of the Mongolian army in Hebei and Liaodong and part of the Han army also began to advance rapidly towards the Central Plains, and the Mongolian army was still crossing the Yellow River in a steady stream and marching in the direction of Xuzhou.

All kinds of siege equipment are also nervously built outside the city by the Mongolian craftsmen with the army, looking at the posture, Wokotai is determined to set foot on Xuzhou City in one fell swoop.

The news spread in all directions as if it had grown wings, and the main generals of the other armies also received the news, and at the same time received the instructions sent to them by Gao Huaiyuan.

After listening to the order passed to him by the messenger, Huang Yan waved his hand to let the messenger go down to rest, touched the mustache on his chin and smiled: "Boss seems to be going to play big this time!" Ruthless enough! All right! Then I'll play with the boss a little bigger!

Come! The herald temporarily stopped the Mongol Tatar raids in the direction of Henan Province and began to make every effort to clear the remnants of the surrounding Jin Kingdom! ”

Zhao Futang of Caozhou also ordered to suspend the attack on the Jin army, turned around and turned to start dealing with the Mongol army that attacked the rear of the Song army from the flank...

Hua Yue also received Gao Huaiyuan's letter in Hezhong Mansion, and after reading it, he sighed softly and said: "The strategy is good, but as a commander, you have to risk your life, will it be too dangerous to do this?"

Come and send an order, so that Zhang Xuan must wipe out the Jin forces in the area east of Tongguan and Huang Yan's headquarters within a month, merge Huang Yan's department, reorganize and surrender troops, and expand the number of soldiers and horses! Get ready to plan the promised state!

Order Yue Kun's troops to go to Yan'an Mansion, give me a horse, and Ben Shuai will go to Yan'an Mansion in person!

Taiyuan Mansion? Dashuai's appetite is really big enough! ”

In the Shenzhou camp, Fu Daquan also received Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, and after receiving Gao Huaiyuan's letter, Fu Daquan immediately instructed his generals: "Spread that Brother Yelu Xing came to see me!" The army began to be prepared, and the herald ordered all the military tuns to start gathering auxiliaries, and also gathered in Shenzhou, and distributed the armor in the treasury, this time we want to meet a real chapter with Polu! ”

Zhou Jun of Guide Mansion was the first to receive Gao Huaiyuan's military order, and immediately called his subordinates, handed over this military order to him, and ordered: "Quickly go to Zhenjiang, hand over the commander's handbook to General Luo, and ask him to lead the army north to join our army!" ”

After his subordinates left, Zhou Jun walked out of the big tent, looked in the direction of Xuzhou, and said to himself: "Lord! What are you doing here? Can Xuzhou City last so long? ”

After the siege of Xuzhou City, several other armies of the Song army also began to change their original plans and readjust, Zhao Futang and Zhou Jun both Song armies temporarily slowed down the advance of Bianliang, and at the same time the news also entered Bianliang City, which suddenly made Wanyan Shouxu overjoyed, and shouted at the case: "Heaven will not die, my big gold!" The Mongol army came at the right time, let them eat dogs, let's talk about it first! We still have time to regain our strength and pass on the orders of the Martial Immortals, the Disciple Shan Wudian, and the Completion of the Beauty...... Hurry up and take advantage of this time to train your troops! When they decide the winner, they won't have the strength to fight with our Dajin Army! It's time for us to reinvigorate! Ha ha! Heaven will not die, my big gold! ”

Since entering the first year of Tianxing, Wanyan Shouxu has not been happy for nearly half a year, and after hearing the news of the siege of Xuzhou by the Mongolian army, Wanyan Shouxu laughed loudly for the first time, and his face showed an unhealthy flush.
