Chapter 185: The Northern Expedition

Of course, this does not mean that Wo Kotai will endure this breath, although the Song army solved the trouble of dragging mines for him, at least it gave him a reason, but Wo Kotai will not be grateful to the Song army because of this, he still looks at the righteousness, the Song army beat their Mongolian army like this, this matter is a great insult to the Mongolian Khanate, sooner or later this arrow revenge, he still has to revenge, so there is a matter of Polu constantly sending people to attack the Song realm in Jingdong!

Wokotai's small abacus is very fine, after he looked at the current map, he realized that the Jin country is almost finished, even without the help of the Song people, he will be able to destroy the Jin country sooner or later, but the Jin country is now left with a small piece of the Central Plains, even after the destruction of the Jin country, the Southern Song Dynasty is still surrounded by the Central Plains on three sides, he may not be able to sit firmly in the Central Plains, sooner or later he will have to turn his face with the Southern Song Dynasty again, only after the Jingdong is laid, the Central Plains can be regarded as their Mongolian bag. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info so he will let Polu continue to send rangers to harass Jingdong and other places, the purpose is very simple, that is, to test the attitude of the Song people, by the way to grab some money and materials, but also to hit the morale of the Song people, for the future attack on Jingdong and preparation.

It's a pity that his plan went bankrupt again, and the Song army was still very restrained at first, only defending and not attacking, making his plan seem to be going smoothly.

However, from the third year of Ögedai Khan, the Song people began to counterattack, and actually gave the Mongols a way to govern their people, collected a group of northerners who did not submit to the rule of the Mongol Khanate, formed a fire army, and sent them to the areas controlled by the Mongols to imitate their Mongol style, plundering everywhere, killing Mongols, sneaking up on the Mongol army's grain routes, prefectures and counties, and turning Hebei into a miasma...

So Wokotai ordered Polu to find a way to solve the trouble of the Agni Army, after Polu was ordered, he immediately organized soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress the Agni Army in Hebei, but the Agni Army was very slippery, and did not fight head-on with the Mongol army at all, the Mongol army came, they turned around and ran, and they were also one man and two horses, running up not slower than the Mongol cavalry, the Mongol army divided the troops to encircle and suppress, after the troops were scattered, they turned around, caught the lone Mongol army and beat it badly, and when the Mongol army surrounded it, they turned around and ran. made Polu a spark, but he couldn't catch this group of fire army, and in the end, the fire army was really squeezed and had nowhere to run, so he turned around and fled into the Song realm...

Polu sent 5,000 Mongolian troops to pursue the city of Jizhou controlled by the Song army, but it caused the interception of the Jingdong army of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army was very angry, rushed up and fought a battle with the Song army, the result was very bad, the Song army pulled out a lot of artillery, boom boom and boom, the Mongolian army could not stand such a way of fighting, and fled back to Hebei.

As soon as the Mongol army retreated, the Agni army immediately ran from the Song realm to the area controlled by the Mongols in Hebei and continued to work.

For this reason, Ogedai Khan was very angry, and sent people to Jingdong under the rule of the Southern Song Dynasty to find the Southern Song Dynasty theory, and asked the Southern Song Dynasty to stop such acts of the Agni Army and punish the Agni Army generals.

But the reply he received made Wokotai depressed, and Zhao Futang, a member of the Privy Council of the Southern Song Dynasty who controlled Jingdong, told the Jin envoy: "The Agni Army is not my Song Army, and our dynasty has no right to control it, so I can't control this matter!" If you have the ability, catch them yourself! ”

This Zhao Futang is simply it! Isn't it shameful that you don't care about it, but you provide camp and protection for the Agni? Wokotai was so angry that he forgot that it should be their Mongols who played ** at the beginning, and they kept harassing the Song Realm first. But he was angry, Wokotai had not yet reached the point of losing his mind, he knew that with the current strength of their Mongolian army, they could not afford to start a full-scale war with the Jin State and the Southern Song Dynasty at the same time, and he could only free up his hands to clean up the Southern Song Dynasty after killing the Jin State as soon as possible, so he could only swallow this breath temporarily.

In the fourth year of Wogetai Khan, five years of Song Shaoding, and in the first year of Jin Xingding, Wogetai Khan once again mobilized 100,000 troops, divided into three roads in early March, and once again began to attack Jin from the direction of Tongguan and Zhengzhou, in which he personally supervised the first army to attack the direction of Hezhongfu, and surrounded Hezhongfu, and began to attack Hezhongfu, the second road was handed over to Tachar as the marshal of the capital, out of Weizhou to attack the Yellow River eyeline, intending to take Zhengzhou into Henan, and the third road Polu led the troops, and deployed along the Jingdong Song border to prevent the Agni Army from entering Hebei again.

This time, Wokotai has made up his mind, and he has to destroy the Jin Kingdom!

Gao Huaiyuan arranged all kinds of things to send troops in Lin'an, Hua Yue left Lin'an first, and rushed to Qinfeng Road to supervise the army, and Gao Huaiyuan still had some things to do, and he also had to wait for the news from the Jin country's reply, so he delayed for a while before leaving Beijing...

But on March 20, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't wait any longer.

Because Qin Fenglu Huang Yan sent a message that the Mongol army had begun to send troops to attack Hezhong Province, which was much earlier than the information he began to get, which disrupted his original plan for the Western Route Army to capture Hezhong Province and attack the Central Plains. At the same time, news also came back from the Jin country, and the gold lord had made it clear that he would never seek refuge in the Southern Song Dynasty, and swore to live and die in the Jin country.

Gao Huaiyuan was a little disappointed with the choice of Pei Wanyan Shouxu, but at the same time he also had some admiration, of course, there was some sympathy, as a monarch of a country, Wanyan Shouxu would definitely not be called a faint monarch, if he was born a few decades earlier, then Jin Guo may have a chance to last a few more decades, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time, but he took over this mess, which can be regarded as his bad luck!

Since there was no way to talk, there was only one way to fight, Gao Huaiyuan immediately made a decision and set off for Chuzhou to prepare for the Northern Expedition...

Originally, Liu Dayong had been clamoring to follow Gao Huaiyuan's Northern Expedition, but firstly, because the land of Gyeonggi could not be guarded without people who were at ease, and secondly, because Liu Dayong's health was a little poor during this time, his spirit was sluggish, and his body was obviously not suitable for going out to fight.

And what is a little unpleasant is that not only Liu Dayong is not in good health during this time, but even Fang Shuda has also fallen ill, including Ji Xiancheng seems to be a little older, plus he has worked hard for Gao Huaiyuan over the years, and his body is not as good as day by day, these days he feels cold and often coughs badly...

Gao Huaiyuan was a little uneasy, but after Liu Dayong and Ji Xiancheng learned the news, they still found Gao Huaiyuan and asked him to leave Beijing with peace of mind to preside over his Northern Expedition, and they all said that their health was fine, so that Gao Huaiyuan did not have to worry about what would happen to the capital.

Liu Dayong sighed and muttered that his life was not good, such a big thing could not be made to go out with Gao Huaiyuan, Gao Huaiyuan appeased Liu Dayong, and after instructing them, he entered the palace and saw Zhao Yun again, Zhao Yun pretended to perfunctory him a few words, saying that he wished him a successful Northern Expedition and a triumphant song as soon as possible!

And Gao Huaiyuan only saw coldness in Zhao Yun's eyes, he knew that Zhao Yun had hated him to the extreme now, and the kindness between their monarchs and ministers had already been broken, so he didn't say anything more, hinting at Zhao Yun, let him be honest, don't take advantage of this time during his Northern Expedition, and make a mess in the capital, making something out of the bottom of the kettle, delaying his great recovery!

After Zhao Yun's eyes flickered a few times, he nodded and promised that he would not come nonsense, he would stay in the palace honestly, ignore political affairs, and would not make any trouble for Gao Huaiyuan...

Gao Huaiyuan then took the generals of the Privy Council Staff Headquarters and the two thousand extremely elite personal guards led by Zhou Hao and embarked on the road to Ezhou.

On the day Gao Huai was far away from Beijing, the Chinese military officials collectively went out of the city to send each other, and most of the people in Beijing went out of their homes to see each other off the city, which could be said to be unprecedented for a while, which moved Gao Huaiyuan and the accompanying generals...

Gao Huaiyuan rode on his tall horse, and repeatedly bowed his hand to the people around him, and his heart was also full of emotion, this is the human heart! As long as the hearts of the people are there, then a country will not decline easily, and he has finally waited for this day.

Now his mount is no longer the yellow horse of the past, the yellow horse he got from Jingxi has already entered old age, a few years ago was sent by Gao Huaiyuan to Daye Crouching Tiger Village, so that the people in the Zhuangzi are well raised, will never ride it again, at the beginning of the year when Liu Er sent someone to send a letter to the family, told Gao Huaiyuan that the yellow horse had died, and died very peacefully, which made Gao Huaiyuan feel sad for a while.

This yellow horse can be said to have accompanied him all the way, witnessing his process from a small county lieutenant to a powerful minister of the government and the opposition, but it is a pity that it cannot continue to witness the future of his revival of the prestige of the Han nation!

And the current batch of mounts, is Saban from Tubo for him to find a pure white sweat and blood horse, there is not a single hair on the body, riding on its back, the slightest feeling of bumps, and it is said that it can travel thousands of miles a day, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it also shows that the horse's divine horse, with it, Gao Huaiyuan for the future to kill the enemy, can be said to be full of confidence.

Although it was still marching towards Chuzhou, the war machine of the Southern Song Dynasty had also begun to operate, even in the march, the generals still kept coming to Gao Huaiyuan for instructions or reporting various affairs, and Gao Huaiyuan was thinking about it while walking, and his instructions were constantly issued.

The pigeons, which accompanied the brief instructions, would immediately use the pigeons to give the orders, and the important orders would be carried by the able-bodied messengers of the army, and they would be delivered to various places on fast horses.

Originally, the post station system of the Song Dynasty was very perfect, coupled with the importance of post stations over the years, now there will be a post station every other distance on the official road, such a post station is only for military use, and there are post horses for messengers to transfer at any time, so all kinds of military orders can also be quickly delivered to various places through the post station.

Before the invention of the telegraph, which was the quickest way in our time, everything was working intensively for the Northern Expedition.
