Chapter 241: Iron Horse Glacial Hate (Part II)
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass support of QUQU!
"Rubbish! Li Chen is a waste! Su Liuyi looked at the military report he had just sent in his hand, and couldn't help but slap the table fiercely, "King Kong Terrace, lofty mountains, dangerous terrain, and six thousand soldiers to guard, the three camps rely on each other, but what?!" ”
The commander was furious, and the generals below were all silent, Su Liuyi was not only strict in training, but left them with the most impression that he was kind and rigorous, and it was really rare to have such a big fire today.
However, it is not normal for Su Liuyi not to be angry, everyone present can answer the question just now, the six thousand soldiers of Jingangtai relied on the danger, and they were secretly attacked by the Mongolian infantry who were not enough in number, and the three camps burned into flames, and many years of hard work were ruined, and now the entire Huaixi has opened the road to Mongolia.
But at this time, the main force of the Huai army is all west into Ezhou, and it will not be able to come back at all for a while and a half, and the town navy that reaches Huaibei is located on the east side of Huai, even if it is to support Huaixi at this time, it is too late, not to mention that the strength of the town navy is not much, once it is sprinkled into the huge territory of Huaixi, this battle will not have to be fought, waiting to be broken by each one!
From the official road guarded by Jingangtai, you can go directly south to Luzhou and Anqing Mansion, and wait until the Mongolian foot cavalry hits Anqing Mansion, then you can taste the taste of drinking Ma Dajiang, and you must know that the west side of Anqing Mansion is Qizhou, and the opposite side of Qizhou is Xingzhou. It can almost be said that as soon as King Kong Tai misses, the foundation of the Tianwu Army has been exposed.
This Li Chen, if he hadn't died in the battle in King Kongtai, he should have been executed by Ling Chi! Su Liuyi's face turned pale, and he turned to look at Yutu.
And Zhang Shijie couldn't help but smile bitterly, the eyes of the commanders below were focused on him, and he also understood that he was the only one here who was older than Su Liuyi, and his identity was special, so he could persuade this angry commander. At that moment, Zhang Shijie said softly:
"What should I do next, do I still have to go north according to the original decision?"
Su Liuyi smiled coldly: "I don't have the courage to go north now, and I have the experience of King Kong Terrace." Who can guarantee that the Mongol Tartars are not staring at Lianzhou? There is also the Huai army guarding the mouth of the five rivers, and I really didn't expect that most of the time I was not there, and the various departments in Huaibei had been lax and eroded to this point. If it weren't for the Zhenhai Navy, Huaibei would have survived long ago! ”
"Then will the Mongolian Tartars do it directly to us?" Zhang Shijie said softly, which was equivalent to saying the unanimous concern in everyone's hearts.
Looking up at the map, Su Liuyi frowned and replied, "If you want to do it, I guess there was already some movement last night." It won't be silent until now. The news of the loss of Kongotai will soon reach Lianhai, and the Mongol Tartars will not wait for us to be on guard before launching a sneak attack. ”
"Then there are five estuaries of the five rivers." Zhang Shijie turned to say, "Even if it is a frontal attack, as long as you concentrate enough foot riders, it is estimated that Wuhekou will not be able to hold it." ”
Su Liu Yi was taken aback, and said in a cold voice: "Without further ado, a certain personally led five thousand cavalry to support Wuhekou, and the other departments are ready to advance eastward at any time in Lianzhou. ”
Zhang Shijie nodded solemnly. At this moment, the curtain of the tent was suddenly opened, and a herald hurriedly walked in: "Enlighten the generals, there is a change in the northern Tartars, and a full four or five thousand cavalry is going straight to the east. ”
Zhang Shijie and Su Liuyi glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes, they didn't expect the Mongolian Tatars to move so fast, and it was even possible that this was not the first cavalry to move eastward. And when it was even more confusing, why did the Mongolian Tatars advance eastward at this time and in broad daylight, didn't they think that the Song army in Lianzhou on the other side could not see it?
"Hurry up and revisit." Su Liuyi hurriedly said. "What do you want to do with the Mongolian Tatars?"
"Divert the tiger from the mountain, or do you want to scare us?" Zhang Shijie couldn't help but look at the map again, this place is not very far from Wuhekou, if it is the foot soldiers of the Song army. It may take a day, but if it is a Mongolian cavalry, then it will not even be half a day.
That is to say, if this cavalry goes out for a certain distance, it is a good choice to intercept halfway after the Song army reinforcements set off, or turn around and attack Lianzhou. After all, no matter how you look at it, the importance of the Lianhai area is greater than that of the five estuary.
"I'd rather believe it's scaring us." Su Liuyi couldn't help but smile bitterly, his brows still furrowed. The situation in front of him really made him worried, and in the final analysis, it was because he had too few troops in his hands, if he also had an army of 100,000, where would he worry about these things.
Zhang Shijie said lightly: "No matter what, there will definitely be an accident at the mouth of the five rivers, so we should support or support, it is really impossible to cross the Huaishui and pass from Huainan." Across the Huai River, no matter how strong the Mongolian Tartar cavalry was, it was difficult to make any tricks. As for Lianzhou and Haizhou, with nearly 10,000 horses, they have been able to hold on. ”
Su Liuyi nodded: "It's okay, then you must be cautious, the Mongolian Tartars rarely play tricks with us this time, and they can't be tricked." ”
Zhang Shijie smiled lightly: "The Mongolian Tatars are scheming with us, which is actually not a good thing." Before, no matter where the Mongol Tatars attacked, it was the cavalry that opened the way, and the foot soldiers came in the back, and they were able to beat the Song army without even a formation, but this time the Mongol Tatars were trying their best to move back and forth, indicating that they had begun to pay attention to the opponents here, and we southern barbarians were not easy to deal with! ”
"The Mongolian Tartars are afraid." Su Liuyi said in a deep voice, the frowning brows that had been frowning finally slowly relaxed, he could be regarded as having been at war with the Mongolian Tatars for some years, what Zhang Shijie said was indeed reasonable when he thought about it carefully, and it also made him feel gratified.
The Mongolian iron horseman swept the world, but he was finally scared in front of him.
Zhang Shijie walked up and patted Su Liuyi on the shoulder, and said softly: "Say whatever you want to win this battle, so many people in Huainan are watching, and they are also watching." The first battle of the town navy cannot be defeated or humiliated. ”
"Nature." Su Liuyi's face was solemn.
This battle is very important, Su Liuyi and Zhang Shijie did not plan to consult Ye Yingwu, if everything needs to be decided by Ye Yingwu, who is thousands of miles away, there is no way to deal with the instantaneous battlefield situation, not to mention that Su Liuyi and Zhang Shijie have no intention of just being incompetent generals who obey orders, and they will eventually lead the army to take charge in the future.
――――――――――――――
Ye Yingwu pushed open the door, and the shallow winter sunlight shone on his body. In this cold wind, there is a rare wisp of warmth.
The plum blossoms in the courtyard still exude a faint fragrance, pointing their heads up at the bright sky. The surrounding courtyards were quiet, only Qing'er, a maid, saw the door open and hurriedly walked over: "The slave has seen Lang Jun." ”
Ye Yingwu nodded: "Daddy, have you ever gotten up?" ”
Qing'er was silent for a moment. said softly: "Back to Langjun, Ye Xianggong has left this morning, and I specially ordered you not to disturb you and your lady." ”
"Gone?" Ye Yingwu was stunned, and then smiled bitterly. His father is a maverick and walks away, and even his son doesn't know. But he could vaguely guess it, too. There is also a reason why Ye Mengding left in such a hurry.
After all, this Yingzhou is Yingzhou controlled by the Tianwu Army, and Ye Mengding was originally here, because he was afraid that Deng Guang would recommend them and it would be difficult to convince them, but now that Ye Yingwu has returned, Ye Mengding's existence is a little embarrassing, so that the old man has to stay in the study, not wanting to affect his son's command of his subordinates. What's more, Ye Mengding was not very comfortable with Ye Yingwu's rebellion against the imperial court, which had already shown signs of rebellion, out of sight and out of mind. The old man was naturally willing to leave.
This is also consistent with Ye Mengding's character.
"Daddy's gone?" There was a sound behind her, Hui Niang asked softly, staring at Ye Yingwu's back with wide eyes, obviously not believing it.
"Well," Ye Yingwu snorted in a deep voice, his heart was heavy, and it was difficult to be happy, "He is the kind of person who thinks he will do what he says, and since he is gone, he is really gone." There's no need to be false and wrongful to our juniors. ”
Hui Niang nodded, and turned to look at Qing'er: "Qing'er, go and bring breakfast." ”
Qing'er glanced at her little lady in surprise, what happened to the two of them together. It turns out that her own little lady, who has never worried about this kind of thing, is becoming more and more like a housewife, but she just doesn't want Ye Yingwu to worry about this matter, so she hurriedly finds a way to divert his attention.
Breakfast had already been prepared and was served soon, while Ye Yingwu and Hui Niang sat down at opposite ends of the table. Hui Niang saw that Ye Yingwu didn't move her chopsticks for a long time, and suddenly couldn't help frowning slightly: "Husband, are you really so worried?" ”
Ye Yingwu shook his head with a wry smile, and said softly: "It's okay, I'm afraid that Daddy and Dad will inevitably take such a step in the future, but he may use this to express his dissatisfaction now, and it is normal for his personality to be petty." ”
Hui Niang couldn't help but laugh: "How can you say that about your own father?" Come, hurry up and eat. ”
"Daddy has worked hard and dedicated to the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, I'm afraid I don't want to look at a certain person and overthrow all his life's work, after all, he has to sacrifice everything for the Great Song Dynasty since he was a child." Ye Yingwu muttered, as if he was talking to himself.
Hui Niang's face changed slightly, and she looked at her husband opposite her, he still had the world in his heart after all, did he still want to sit in that position after all? Although she knew that she shouldn't ask more about this matter, Hui Niang couldn't help but say:
"Husband, you still want to ・・・・・・ after all"
Ye Yingwu glanced at her lightly, and then said with a wry smile: "What is this, don't think so much, it is not certain how far you can go in this life." Although this person's life is short, it is always full of ups and downs, and you never know what you will face in the next moment, which may be the most wonderful thing about people in the world. ”
Wang Qinghui saw that Ye Yingwu deliberately avoided her question, so she didn't ask any more questions, and just drank porridge quietly, but she could already vaguely probe Ye Yingwu's deepest thoughts. This man, his husband, is not an idle person after all.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, Ye Yingwu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The door is not closed, you can come in." ”
It's just that what surprised him was that it was not Qing'er who came in, but his own guard Xiaoyangzi, this kid was also the first time to enter the back house, and he was very shy to probe his brain, until he saw Ye Yingwu, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked in with his head down: "Qiyu envoy, the urgent report sent by Huaixi, the chapter control system asked his subordinates to send it quickly, so if you are offended, please forgive your sins." ”
Ye Yingwu waved his hand, but he was still shocked in his heart, and quickly took the letter in Xiao Yangzi's hand, but did not open it: "Xiao Yangzi, have you eaten?" If not, let Qing'er add more. ”
Xiao Yangzi was flattered, and hurriedly said: "Eat, there is no need to make you worry, if you don't have an order, your subordinates will retire first." ”
Seeing Xiao Yangzi, who was a little shy and hurriedly ran away, Hui Niang glanced at Ye Yingwu helplessly: "I usually don't see how strict my husband is outside, why is this little guy so scared when he sees Yuanjun?" ”
Ye Yingwu subconsciously shrugged his shoulders, and immediately opened the letter, and when he saw a line of scribbled words on it, Ye Yingwu's face changed suddenly. Huaixi, King Kong Terrace lost!
Although Ye Yingwu has never been to Huaibei, he is also very aware of the importance of Jingangtai. Jingangtai should be regarded as the remaining vein of the Qinling Mountains, connecting Huaishui to the east and Qinling Mountains to the west, which is the weaker point of the entire Qinling Huaihe River defense line, and it is also the small stronghold of the Southern Song Dynasty in Huaibei.
"But what's wrong?" Hui Niang saw Ye Yingwu's expression change suddenly, and she couldn't help but tremble quietly in her heart, but she was a little glad in her heart, no matter what, this time she would stand with Ye Yingwu to face it.
Ye Yingwu frowned, and hurriedly threw the letter on the table: "It's not a big deal, but Huaixi King Kong Terrace has been lost." ”
"Kongotai? Does it matter? Hui Niang picked up the letter, the handwriting on it was a little sloppy, and you could see the anxious look of the letter writer, "This letter is so simple, and the handwriting is difficult to read, which shows that she was very panicked and anxious when she wrote the letter, and it can also show that King Kong Tai is very important, I don't know if the concubine's guess is reasonable?" ”
Ye Yingwu glanced at her with a wry smile, and then shook his head: "After all, people should not speculate, rest assured, what should be done today or what to do, and then accompany a certain person to the street to take a walk and see this Yingzhou scenery." ”
Hui Niang stood up suddenly, her face was a little gloomy: "Husband, this seems to be a little inappropriate, since the Mongolian Tartars have broken into Huaixi, the next step must be to spy on the river, although there is a big victory in Xiangyang, but it does not mean that the Mongolian Tartars in the north will be dying, the husband must not let the victory get carried away at this time, let alone delay the overall situation of the world because of the scenery of Yingzhou, although the concubine does not want to say anything, but since she has entered the door of the Ye family, she should do what a wife should do." ”
Seeing that Hui Niang was very solemn, Ye Yingwu also put away the playful smile on his face, he felt that the little girl opposite was talking to him seriously, and he was inevitably a little moved in his heart, which at least showed that Hui Niang really wanted to be his wife. However, Ye Yingwu still stirred the spoon lightly, and said lightly:
"It's not as serious as Hui Niang thought. Although Jingangtai was lost, as long as Lianhai and Wuhekou were still in the hands of the Zhenhai Navy, the Mongolian Tartars did not dare to make any rash moves, and Anqing Mansion and Xingzhou here were all strong barriers, and the Mongolian Tartars needed 100,000 troops if they wanted to drink the Great River. The reason why he didn't want to care about the Mongolian Tatars was because he didn't want to take everything into his own hands. ”
Hui Niang was slightly startled, sat down again, and looked at Ye Yingwu in some surprise.
Ye Yingwu continued: "It is true that the four sides of the Tianwu Army are in command, but it is impossible to be all-encompassing and care about everything, and King Kong Terrace is lost, but there is Lu Junshi in the south with enough soldiers left behind in the Tianwu Army, and in the east, there are Su and Zhang, two battle-hardened generals, with the same Zhenhai as the Tianwu Army, if they are not able to solve such a small matter in front of them, then how can they be alone in the future?" ”
Looking at Ye Yingwu silently, Hui Niang suddenly laughed: "So just now, the concubine was too careful, and everything was in the calculation of the husband?" ”
Ye Yingwu said a little proudly: "This is natural, and I don't look at who it is." ”
"Hmph." Hui Niang snorted softly, too lazy to deal with this guy. (To be continued.) )
