Chapter 131: Jia Yidao's "Good News"

During the reign of Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty, the entire Southern Song Dynasty formed four major theaters, one was the Jianghuai Theater with Yangzhou as the center, the second was the Jinghu Theater with Xiangfan as the center, the third was the Sichuan Theater with Chengdu and Yucheng as the mainstay, and the fourth was the coastal theater responsible for river defense and coastal defense. With the exception of the coastal theater of operations, which was relatively calm, the other three theaters of operations assumed considerable defensive tasks.

Judging from the current situation, the Sichuan theater is the most chaotic, since the Song-Mongolian battle occurred five years ago, Marshal Meng Heng's team left in the Sichuan army was divided, Liu Quan, who was forced by Jia Nidao to have no way out, surrendered to Mongolia, Wang Jian, Zhang Jue stayed in Yucheng, Li Tingzhi was promoted by Jia Nidao to Yangzhou system envoy, and Gao Gao was excluded.

Gundam's surname is straightforward, and he once sarcastically said that Gundam didn't understand military affairs and commanded indiscriminately, so Jia Rudao said in front of Li Zong that Gundam was not, hoping to get rid of Gundam, but fortunately, Li Zong still had a little wisdom and did not kill Gundam. After returning to Beijing, Emperor Li Zong appointed Gao Gao as the Privy Councillor to take charge of the internal affairs of the Privy Council, and to inspect the merits and demerits of officials below the head of the Privy Council and their replacement. However, Gouda knew that in the Privy Council, Jia Yidao covered the sky with one hand, so he had to get by and not ask about the world.

"Gao Aiqing is familiar with military affairs, so it's suitable." I nodded, and then looked at Jia Rudao again, "Master, right now Gundam is in the Privy Council, if you leave, can someone replace you?" ”

Jia Rudao replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the Privy Council should obey Your Majesty's arrangement. ”

Liao Yingzhong frowned, as if she was against Jia Nidao's opinion, but in the main hall, everyone watched, and it was not easy to speak.

I know Jia Yidao's thoughts, let Gundam go to the front line, fight to the death with the Mongols, and let the Mongols clean you up when the first emperor saved your life. In Jia Yidao's view, going to Sichuan is like distribution.

"In that case, I also think it is feasible, and Gundam will obey the order."

"The minister is here."

"I will appoint you as the envoy of Chengdu Mansion Road System, and all military affairs in Sichuan such as Chengdu Mansion and Yucheng Mansion will be regulated, and you will be awarded the title of three ranks, and you will leave immediately after the handover of military affairs in the Privy Council."

"The minister is in obedience."

"Zan Aiqing listens to the order, I will appoint you as the deputy envoy of Chengdu Fulu, receive the third rank, assist Gao Aiqing in handling everything, and the affairs of the original Ministry of Commerce will be handed over, and Gao Aiqing will set off with him."

"Chan Zang longevity obeys the order."

"Fan Wenhuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Ye Mengding, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, listen to the order."

"The minister is here."

"Passed the decree and crowned Zhang Jue, the prefect of Yucheng, as the deputy envoy of Chengdu Fulu, and the prefect of Yucheng, and cooperated with Gao Aiqing to deal with military affairs in Sichuan."

"The ministers obey."

"Well, also, the Ministry of Officials immediately sent someone to Ganzhou, and Peng Daya, the former governor of Yucheng, was recruited to enter Beijing immediately."

"Peng Daya?" Ye Mengding said.

"Exactly, Peng Daya, who was demoted to Ganzhou for the people when he was the first emperor."

"Yes, I obey." Ye Mengding didn't know why I suddenly remembered Peng Daya.

Among the four major war zones, the coastal theater is temporarily worry-free, Yangzhou has Li Tingzhi in charge, you can also rest assured, although in history Xiangfan was finally breached, it was a few years later, I am most worried about Chengdu Fulu at the moment. If it is not rectified, it may become a situation of warlord separation, and the demoted general Liu Cheng is good at water warfare, judging from the existing Sichuan army generals, except for Zhang Jue, no one seems to be his opponent.

For the control of the army, I started with the town border army and the water division, and finally Jia Yidao's descendant forbidden army, as for the box army, there is no need to worry.

"Retreat."

After going down, Liao Yingzhong hurriedly followed Jia Rudao back to Jiafu.

"My lord, Yingzhong thinks that what is happening today is inappropriate. In the three major theaters of the Zhenbian Army, Li Tingzhi's attitude is ambiguous, Sichuan is in chaos, and now Gundam is going, which will inevitably bring Sichuan's military affairs under the control of the emperor. ”

"Yingzhong, don't worry, if the old man is not bad, the Mongols will attack our dynasty after the Mongols, they must take Sichuan first, and the border army of Chengdu Fulu Town has always been independent, except for Meng Shuai back then, no one can coordinate, Sichuan military affairs are out of the old man's grasp, this mess will be let Zhao Yu, up to them to clean up."

"My lord, Yingzhong always feels a little bad."

"Yingzhong, in fact, the old man is not unaware of your concerns, but tell me, who in the Privy Council or the forbidden army can take responsibility? Over the years, there have been more and more people who have taken refuge in the old man, but in the military generals' trilogy, except for the Lu family brothers, who can really go to the battlefield? ”

Liao Yingzhong didn't know anything about military affairs, and she didn't know how to answer.

"Your Excellency." Jia Xuan interrupted the conversation between the two, and after entering the house, he said, "Xiangyang urgent." ”

"Well, let's go down." Jia Rudao took the urgent report and looked at it slowly.

"Lu Wende reported that the Mongolian army wanted to be placed outside Xiangyang City."

Liao Yingzhong said: "It turns out that the Mongolian army wants to build a field on the border and trade with our dynasty. ”

"Yes, Lu Wende reported urgently, he asked the old man what he meant, if it is feasible, the Mongols will withdraw immediately."

"What do you mean?"

Jia Rudao thought for a long time, and said slowly: "Yingzhong, prepare pen and ink, immediately pass the book quickly, and let Lu Wende report to the imperial court, saying that the battle of Xiangyang was a great victory, the defenders of Xiangyang and the forbidden army joined forces, and the military power was everywhere, and the Mongols felt that they were invincible, so they retreated." ”

Liao Yingzhong said worriedly: "My lord, is this okay?" ”

"What's not to do, it doesn't matter what happened in the field, just let Lu Wende make his own decision. What the old man needs is a big victory, no matter the reason, there is a result, so as to enhance the prestige of the forbidden army and the Privy Council. Lu Wende naturally understands that when the Mongols retreat, they can charge for a while, and as for the field, don't let Zhao Yu know, anyway, it will take half a year to build the field, and then let Lu Wende buy more war horses, and he will naturally be able to prevaricate. How to write the good news is the key, the old man has finished writing, let Lu Wende copy it and play it. ”

The field outside Xiangyang City was used as the front line of the attack on the Southern Song Dynasty by the Mongolian Kublai Khan according to Liu Quan's suggestion and after consulting with Ashu, Boyan, Shi Tianze and others. After receiving a large amount of gold, silver, and jade belts and a hundred Mongolian horses from the Mongols, Lü Wende acquiesced. Lü Wende used these gold and silver horses to create a 100-man escort for himself, which was composed of local martial arts masters, claiming to be comparable to the Mongolian cowardly Xue army, and named Xiangyang Iron Guard. A few years later, until the Battle of Xiangyang began, Lu Wende did not know the intention of the Mongols to set up a field, regretted it too much, and sighed: "Those who mislead the country, I too!" ”

From this point, it can be seen that Jia Rudao, Lu Wende and others were far less than the vision of the Mongolian Kublai Khan, and Liao Yingzhong was not familiar with military affairs, which led to the later Xiangyang War being passive from the beginning.

After Jia Yidao finished writing, he stamped it with a big seal and ordered Jia Xuan to immediately send someone to Xiangfan.

"My lord, the emperor's calmness is beyond our expectations, and it seems that the change in the court is no longer stoppable."

"Yes, Zhao Yu has changed."

Liao Yingzhong was silent for a moment, as if she wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jia Rudao: "Yingzhong, you go and call Junhan, yesterday he said that he had something to find the old man." ”

"Yes, sir."

After a while, Wu Junhan came to the back room and said, "My lord, the apprentice Han Zhen came to visit the house a few days ago, and it happened that the adult was out, so he asked me to tell the adult, saying that he wanted to join the army and serve the country. ”

Jia Rudao's heart moved, and he said happily: "Well, this matter is very good, the old man is considering, there are no outstanding people among the generals of the forbidden army, Fan Wenhu, Xia Gui and the like have been enjoying themselves for too long, and they are already timid, so they can only move their mouths, and Xia Jiangang, Long Zaitian and others will only be brave, if they want to lead the troops to fight, they will undoubtedly be defeated, Han Zhen is both civil and military, and it is indeed suitable to lead the troops to fight, all inclusive, at the right time, the old man will propose to Zhao Yu, it should be within ten days, and then slowly let him take charge of the forbidden army." ”
