ps: Thank you for the support of the monthly pass on the vegetable garden of the book friend!

Playing with the teacup in his hand, Wen Tianxiang asked softly: "Your Highness intends to delay the time through peace talks with You Xuanfu, so that Dali and Sichuan Shu can be controlled by us." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Ye Yingwu nodded: "The news I just received this morning is that the Shanyi Mansion has been broken through, Dali's flanks have been exposed to our army's front, and the pacification of the entire territory of Dali is just around the corner." However, although Dali and the Central Plains have cut off the news, it is impossible for the Mongolian Tatars not to detect the clues, and You Xuanfu will definitely not give up. ”

Wen Tianxiang frowned: "Since Dali has been broken through, then why does His Highness still want to negotiate peace with this You Xuanfu, even if it is not a peace negotiation, this Mongolian Tartar is not capable of killing us now." The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, even if the Mongolian Tatars really break the cauldron and sink the boat, the Wu Army and the Divine Guard Army have been waiting for a long time that day. ”

After being silent for a moment, Ye Yingwu looked at Wen Tianxiang, who was close at hand: "Senior brother, your meaning is clear, but once the war is rekindled, it is still the people of my Han family who will suffer in the middle, and now that there is a glimmer of opportunity to see the dawn, I can't give up." ”

Looking at Ye Yingwu suspiciously, Wen Tianxiang put down the teacup: "Your Highness, what do you mean?" ”

Ye Yingwu thought about it, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, leaned over and whispered: "Commerce, what I want now is the confrontation between the north and the south and the trade between the north and the south." ”

"Shhh Taking a hard breath, Wen Tianxiang's hands subconsciously shook slightly, I have to say that Ye Yingwu's move is absolutely ruthless, whether it is Song Jin or Meng Song, there has been no real bilateral large-scale trade in the past hundred years, one is to prevent the war horses in the north from falling into the hands of the Song people, and the other is to avoid the huge capital of the Southern Song Dynasty from impacting his own market that is too thin because of years of war and refugees.

As long as the merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty controlled the lifeblood of their own country's goods exchange, even the uncivilized Tartars in the north knew what the consequences would be. Therefore, in the past hundred years, except for the border market opened for a period of time before the Xiangyang War Kublai Khan in order to confuse the Southern Song Dynasty, so that the two sides had some trade, the markets on both sides have been in a state of independent operation.

And now what Ye Yingwu wants to do is to break the barriers in the middle, so that the rich capital in Ye Yingwu's hands can enter the places controlled by Mongolia, and gradually become the financier behind the indispensable facilities such as shops and restaurants in the city, so that even if Ye Yingwu does not control the finances of the entire Mongolia, he has already planted nails in various cities, and when the time comes, the Northern Expedition will be enough for the Mongolian defenders, not to mention that Ye Yingwu has all kinds of advanced firearms in his hands that are gradually being installed.

"But this You Xuanfu is not a fool, will he agree?" Wen Tianxiang asked with some confusion.

Ye Yingwu smiled, twisted out a few chess pieces from the chess basket next to him, and put one on the table: "This is Dali." After Dali was breached, the Mongol Tatars could no longer threaten our back road. ”

Seeing that Wen Tianxiang was stunned, Ye Yingwu dropped another chess piece: "This, it's Xichuan, Xichuan is now all owned by me, and the threat of the Mongolian Tatars to the flanks has been lifted." After Dali and Xichuan were recovered by us, the Mongol Tatars had to go to Xiangyang or Lianghuai if they wanted to defeat the Ming Dynasty, but it was not so easy for them to do so. ”

A smile appeared on his face, and Wen Tianxiang nodded. The Mongol Tatars lost 100,000 troops in Xiangyang, and even the cowardly Xue army was dispatched in Lianghuai, but it was only a draw with the Zhenhai Navy, which means that these two roads have no possibility of going through. With Xichuan captured, they now only need to think about how to keep more land, and the southern expedition has almost become a joke.

"This is Yingchang Mansion, Yingchang Mansion is directly facing Heluo, it is the heart of the Mongolian Tartars, for us it is like a dagger stretched out, for the Mongolian Tartars, this is definitely a sword hanging on the head." Ye Yingwu dropped two chess pieces one after another, "This is Jiaodong, after the destruction of the Lin'an Army, the naval division warships from Jiangnan to Jiaodong are all where our naval division is located, but the Mongolian Tatars do not have extra troops to guard against Jiaodong." ”

Looking at Wen Tianxiang, Ye Yingwu casually dropped another chess piece: "This is the last chess piece that a certain can think of now, an army equipped with new firearms, the Mongolian Tatars have not yet found an effective way to deal with new firearms, unless they throw away all the cities and return to their original ways, wandering and plundering, but they do not conquer the city." However, the strength of the Mongol Tatars is limited, especially their own cavalry, which is less than a thousand, and can replenish a hundred people at most, and over time, the Mongol Tatars will no longer have strong men to show their hands. ”

Looking at the chess pieces lined up on the table, a flash of brilliance flashed in Wen Tianxiang's eyes. And Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice: "I know what is in my hand that makes the Mongolian Tartars feel afraid, and the Mongolian Tartars are even more aware of it, so even if they know that they are delaying time this time, the Mongolian Tartars still have to come to the peace talks." ”

"Since it is true that the Mongolian Tatars want peace talks according to His Highness, then why did they send You Xuanfu here, this is not obvious······" Wen Tianxiang said in surprise, but he immediately understood and answered his question, "Because the Mongolian Tatars don't plan to really negotiate peace, what they want is to delay time, what they need to delay time is not someone who is kind to me Daming, but someone who really understands Daming, You Xuanfu, who has been in Jiangnan for so many years, is indeed the only choice." ”

Ye Yingwu stood up: "Kublai Khan did nothing wrong this time, and it can even be said that he made the most correct choice, but even so-and-so has to scrape a few taels of flesh off him." Brother Song Rui, this time the peace talks will be held by you and your brother-in-law, since You Xuanfu wants to delay time, then ask him, we really need to clean up such a big stall here now. ”

"I will not be dishonored." Wen Tianxiang solemnly arched his hand.

Ye Yingwu nodded: "Senior brother, I believe in you and my brother-in-law, so you just let it go, and I came here this time just in case, and more importantly, I want to take a look at the situation of the people in Nanyang and Huaixi." ”

"Your Highness, please rest assured," the warm smile on Wen Tianxiang's face gradually dissipated, replaced by a serious expression, "However, it is better for Your Highness to leave Nanjing less in the future, after all, Your Highness is the lord of the world, and he should be in charge of the overall situation in Nanjing." ”

Ye Yingwu looked at the world outside the door with his hands in his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Song Rui, do you know, what I want to do is not a king who is locked in the deep palace, including the descendants of XX, and I don't want to watch them grow up in the hands of women in the deep palace, resulting in a vicious and vicious personality or weak and incompetent, becoming the scourge of the country and the handle of the ministers. ”

"Your Highness······" Wen Tianxiang was stunned.

"Okay, that's all there is to it." Ye Yingwu waved his hand and walked straight to the door.

And Wen Tianxiang slowly stood up straight, looking at Ye Yingwu's distant back, and couldn't help but sigh softly, His Royal Highness is still young in the end, I am afraid that there are still many opportunities to fight in the south and the north in this life, and when the time comes, I can't stop it if I want to, these have long been expected by Wen Tianxiang, what really made Wen Tianxiang feel trembling in his heart was Ye Yingwu's words just now.

Since the Han and Tang dynasties, most of the downfall of every dynasty is because the emperor who has grown up in the deep palace has been difficult to control and crawl in the red dust, and has experienced the civil and military officials who have become old foxes, and finally led to the traitorous ministers to abuse power, including Cai Jing in the Northern Song Dynasty and Jia Nidao in the Southern Song Dynasty. This has a lot to do with the weak character of the emperor, the martial spirit of the founding emperor hundreds of years ago has been lost by this time, and the entire dynasty has also come to an end.

can't be longer than the hands of the women of the deep palace, how will His Royal Highness the Ming King, who has single-handedly created a new era, avoid this problem?

Wen Tianxiang knew very well that Ye Yingwu definitely didn't inadvertently talk to him about this matter just now, nine times out of ten, he had already begun to calculate in his heart, and he couldn't make up his mind, this was a door-to-door request for help. Gently twisting his sleeves, Fang Zheng's peaceful face with the smell of a scroll appeared a solemn look, and Wen Tianxiang stood by the threshold and looked at the sky quietly.

Yuanlie, this is really a problem.

However, I believe that no matter whether there is help from a certain person, you will eventually come up with a reasonable answer, but you will see how to implement it when you see it, after all, this kind of practice will inevitably damage the actual interests of many people.

————————————————————--

"Look, look, snow mountain, it's snow mountain!" I don't know who shouted first, and the queue that was originally winding along the entire mountain road slowly stopped. The exhausted soldiers subconsciously raised their heads and looked towards the end of heaven and earth.

Endless mountains spread out in front of you, with a rich greenery, and at the top of the mountain peak in the distance, although surrounded by white clouds, you can still clearly see the snow. At this time, it is almost summer, and being able to see such a majestic and magnificent scene in Dali and see the summer snow undoubtedly surprises most of these soldiers from the warm water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

Slowly stepped forward, looking at the snow-bearing mountains, including Li Fu and Yang Ting, they couldn't help but show surprise on their faces. And Ma Yan pointed to the continuous peaks in front of him: "Dali has four beauties, and the wind and snow are also." What you see in front of you is the snow in Cangshan. ”

"Cangshan bears snow, and it is extremely beautiful in the world." Li Fu couldn't help but sigh softly, "Who would have thought that a few months ago we were still in the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and now we are already in this Dali, even if it is hot in summer, we can still see the snow in winter." ”

Yang Ting clenched the hilt of his sword and said with a smile: "No wonder the Central Plains Dynasty has always wanted to conquer this land for thousands of years, and I am afraid that such beauty will be difficult to find anywhere else." God is really not thin on Dali. ”

Li Fu nodded: "But this Dali, now it's ours." ”

A smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and General Ma gently stroked his white beard: "Dali is at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, and I have seen Cangshan, which means that Dali is not far away." Ordered all departments, soldiers divided into two roads, from the north and south sides of Erhai Lake to surround Dali! ”

The army on the mountain road began to move forward again, and when the mountain was turned, the snow-capped mountains that once seemed unreachable were completely presented in front of them, a row of mountains undulating towards the end of the sky, and just below the mountain, the mirror-like lake seemed to make the whole world quiet. And next to the lake, a town that looked far less big than the city of the Central Plains stood alone, and black flags fluttered on the head of the city.

"It seems that the Mongol Tartars have taken precautions." Li Fu said in a deep voice.

Lou Yong came quickly from the front: "Two generals, the Mongolian Tartars have heavy troops on the east and west sides of the Erhai Lake, and it has been clearly sentry that their main forces should be concentrated in Dali City and the two camps in Cangshan outside the city, and in addition, two camps are laid in the area of Dali Taimiao on the east side of Erhai Lake, which are horns against each other, obviously trying to prevent our army from going around the east side of Erhai Lake to Dali City." ”

Ma Yan frowned suddenly, and then said in a deep voice: "Dali City is where the Mongolian Tatars gather heavy troops, and it is not unexpected, but the Mongolian Tatars should also know that with such a small Dali City, it is delusional to want to stop us." ”

"Old General, you mean?" Li Fu suddenly understood something, and copied the map handed over by Yang Ting, "Dali City is actually between Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain, and the terrain outside the city can be regarded as open, it is really not easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the Mongolian Tartars defend this city, but it is stupid." ”

Stretching out his hand to point on the map, Ma Yan lowered his voice and said slowly: "The old man estimates that the Mongolian Tartars will not be so stupid, and since we can find out the deployment of their troops so easily, it is inevitable that it is a little contrived and deliberate. Therefore, the old man suspected that the Mongolian Tartars were only suspicious soldiers in Dali City and Taimiao, and the real main force should have withdrawn from the city, after all, if you want to guard against flying thunder artillery, it is much better in the wilderness outside the city than in the city. ”

"The old general suspects that the Mongol Tatars have set up an ambush at Longshou Pass (now Dali Shangguan)?" Li Fu looked up at the silent and somewhat strange Dali City in front of him, "Longshou Pass is located in the north of Dali City, which is a dangerous place between mountains and seas. ”

"That's what the old man is worried about." Ma Yan said in a deep voice, "When the Mongol Tatars conquered Dali, they were once stopped under the Longshou Pass, once the tens of thousands of Mongolian Tatars in the city gathered in the Longshou Pass, and echoed with the camp on the Cangshan Mountain, it would be tricky at that time."

Taking a breath of cool air, Li Fu glanced at the towering Cangshan mountains: "Indeed, the height of Cangshan is not comparable to the hills in the south of the Yangtze River, and even a certain estimate of the flying thunder cannon is difficult to play a role, once it is difficult to hit the explosive package, it will hurt itself." Therefore, for Dali, you can't attack by force, you can only outwit it. ”

Stretching out his hand to mark it on the map, Ma Yan pointed to a place and said: "The Sichuan Shu army has advanced south to Huichuan (now Huili), and it is about to approach the north side of Dali, is it not to let the Sichuan Shu army go straight south into Dali, so that the two roads are ······"

"If the Sichuan and Shu army can reach Huichuan, they have already done their best." Li Fu frowned and interrupted Ma Yan, "After all, they still have opponents like Liu Quan in Dongchuan, and they definitely don't dare to draw more soldiers." The only thing we can rely on now is ourselves. ”

"In this Dali grain and grass transport is difficult, now everyone is only carrying five days' rations, that is to say, if you can't take Dali within two days, I'm afraid you will have to return to Shanxian Mansion." Yang Ting slowly clenched the spear in his hand, "The time given to us is only two days." ”

Reaching out and patting Yang Ting's shoulder, Li Fu said lightly: "Two days, two days is enough." ”

Glancing at each other, Li Fu and Ma Yan both smiled knowingly, while Yang Ting and Lou Yong were a little confused.

"Pass on a certain order, and all departments will go straight to the east side of Erhai Lake." Li Fu clenched the reins of the horse, "The left compartment of the Xuanwu Army replaces the front compartment as the forward, and the right compartment and the rear compartment serve as the two wings, and quickly break through the Dali Taimiao." The Yongzhou Army and the Jingjiang Army advanced forward after the Taimiao was broken through and swept away the Mongolian Tatars along the way! ”

And Ma Yan glanced at Yang Ting and Lou Yong, and said with a smile: "Didn't the Mongolian Tartars want to wait for us to conquer Dali and then wait for work, then we might as well directly concentrate all our forces and copy his back road." I want to see if there is a flying thunder cannon to open the way, how long can this dragon head pass last! ”

"So, do the two generals plan to attack Dali?" Yang Ting subconsciously looked at Yutu.

"If the Dragon Head Pass is broken, then Dali is nothing." Li Fu smiled slightly, "Lao Yang, the Mongolian Tatars will not have too many manpower on the east side of the Erhai Lake, and I believe that you can sweep them all away in a few hours." ”

Yang Ting nodded solemnly: "You can rest assured that this uncle is it!" (To be continued.) )
