Chapter 424 Point General

Kublai Khan nodded and said: "General Ashu, now in front of the people of the world, Ben Khan hereby officially crowns you as the generalissimo of the Mongolian expedition to the south, the general of the hussar guard, the second rank, the gold medal of two tiger heads, the command of the three armies, the day to go south, eliminate the Song Dynasty, and completely unify the great cause of our dynasty to unify the world." ”

Ah Shu was full of spirits and said loudly: "Thank you for the grace of the Great Khan, the last general will definitely lead my three armies and set foot in the Southern Dynasty." ”

"Okay." Kublai Khan praised it, then took a spear from one of the guards behind him and said, "General Ashu, you should know this magic spear, right?" ”

As a child of the Jiangmen family, Ah Shu certainly recognized this spear, which was slightly longer than the conventional spear, which looked ordinary, but it was extremely special: "Great Khan, this is the divine weapon used by Genghis Khan back then, named Suluding." ”

"Yes, this is the Divine Soldier Su Luding. At that time, the ancestor Genghis Khan was holding Suluding, unifying all the Mongolian tribes of China, fighting in the east and west, laying a solid foundation for today's Mongolian Empire. General Ashu, since you are known as the king of the spear of our dynasty and the marshal of the southern expedition appointed by Ben Khan, this Khan has given you this artifact and asked him to accompany you in your conquest of the Southern Dynasty in order to achieve the great cause of our Mongol Empire. ”

"Yes, Great Khan." Ah Shu took Suluding and was very excited.

The legend of the divine soldier Suluding, the Mongolian high-level knows, according to the elders, when Genghis Khan was young, he was forced into a desperate situation, and when he saw that he was not alive, he was fortunate to be rescued by a stranger, and was taught his marksmanship by a stranger, and was given a divine soldier, which is the only weapon in Genghis Khan's life - Suluding, after that, Genghis Khan was invincible and invincible. This sharpshooter has an ordinary appearance, and after a hundred years, it is still as bright as new.

Since Genghis Khan's return to heaven, this divine army has been kept by the successor Great Khan, but the Mongolian climate is complete, and as a Great Khan, he does not need to be on the battlefield in person, and Suluding has never appeared on the battlefield again.

When Ah Shu walked down the stage with Su Luding in his hand, the generals below all showed envy, as a general, war horses and weapons are crucial, and they are also the love of most generals in their lives, and there is only one god soldier in the world, who would not be moved? Envy is envy, but for the Great Khan's gift of Suluding to Ashu, the generals are also convinced.

More than 10 years ago, with his father Wuliang Hetai expedition to Dali, he became famous in a war, and then, in the thirteen battles with the Song Dynasty, he did not taste defeat. At the same time, Ah Shu is also a good hand in the way of guns, in 1261, Ali Hague, who is good at spearmanship, was awarded by Kublai Khan to the left and right Shi Langzhong of Zhongshu Province, that night, the generals celebrated, during the banquet, Ali Hague threatened that its Western Regions spear skills are invincible in the world, the generals are not satisfied, each went into battle, but all were defeated. Half a month later, Ashuhan, Zhang Hongfan and other young generals told the matter to the Ashu who had just returned from the expedition, under the acquiescence of Kublai Khan, Ashu and Ali Hague launched a contest for the king of guns, for the sake of justice, but also invited out of the Tianya God Zun Yin Tianya as an arbitrator, in the forty-ninth round of the battle, Ali Hague was defeated, and willingly recognized the status of the king of the spear, even the first master of Mongolia Yin Tianya was also amazed by the marksmanship of Ashu, thinking that in the horse generals, Ashu's marksmanship is indeed second to none.

Kublai Khan watched with a smile on his face as Ah Shu stepped down from the platform, and then shouted, "General Boyan, please come to the stage to accept the title." ”

After Boyan came to the stage, he clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general Boyan will see the Great Khan." ”

"General Boyan, Ben Khan has crowned you the deputy marshal of the Mongolian expedition to the south and the envoy, the general of the country, the second rank, and a tiger head gold medal."

"Thank you for the grace of the Great Khan."

Although Boyan has only been in the army for a short time, the essence of his strategy has won the convincing of the generals, and the reorganized Cowardly Xue Army has become more powerful than in the past under its training, which is a fact that is obvious to all, and the generals have no objection to the appointment of Kublai Khan. Boyan studied under Yin Tianya, and he was proficient in all eighteen weapons, and Ah Shu's evaluation of this was that fighting under the horse should be the best for me.

Historically, Ah Shu and Boyan were respected by the Yuan Dynasty soldiers as the two Mongolian war gods, and the two fought countless battles in their lives, and they were undefeated.

Kublai Khan continued to point to the general: "Prince Hedan, General Zhang Rou, and General Ali Hague came to the stage to listen to the seal. ”

"The end will be."

"Three generals, Ben Khan named you the deputy marshal of the expedition to the south, the general of the auxiliary country, the second rank, and the tiger head gold medal."

"Xie Da Khan."

Hedan, Zhang Rou, Ali Hague respectively represent the three forces in the Mongolian army, the Mongolian people, the Western Regions Semu people and the Mongolian Han people, although the status of the Han people in Mongolia is low, but the number is large, in the entire Mongolian army, the number of Han soldiers is also the largest, plus Zhang Rou is a veteran in the Mongolian army, even Kublai Khan trusted, is also named one of the four deputy marshals.

Kublai Khan finally gave the title and said: "Dong Wenbing, Zhao Bi, Atahai and other ten people are the commanders of the southern capital, the general of the Zhenguo, the third rank of the Zhengzheng, and the gold medal of the tiger head, and the Assassin Han and Zhang Hongfan are the vanguard officers of the Zhengyin of the expedition to the south, the deputy commander of the capital, and the general of Zhaowu, and the gold medal." ”

"The last general thanked the Great Khan."

The gold medal is the legendary "big brand" in the history of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is the "official card" (official certificate) awarded by the Mongolian Khan to the military generals, which is divided into three categories: tiger head gold medal, flat gold medal and flat silver medal. Generally speaking, 10,000 households can wear the tiger card, 1,000 households can wear the gold medal, 100 households can wear the silver medal, the tiger head gold medal is divided into four grades, which is inlaid with zero to three pearls, with three beads as the most, the tiger head gold medal is issued by the Great Khan himself, the flat gold medal and the peace silver medal are issued by the imperial court, and the generals need to hand over the original talisman when they are promoted or resigned.

After the order was completed, Kublai Khan smiled heartily: "I have the favor of the Immortal Heaven and so many good generals, can I not win this battle?" Our Mongol Empire is full of talents, and in response to the mandate of heaven, the Mongols, Semu, Han, Huihui, Jin, Tangut and other ethnic groups of our dynasty have worked together to follow Ben Khan to complete the great cause of unification. ”

"Long live the Great Khan, I will win."

"Long live the Great Khan, I will win."

On the second day after Kublai Khan published "Lower Jiangnan Pavilion", Marshal Ashu of the Expedition to the South of the Yangtze River hurried to Xiangfan with the pioneer Ashuhan and his 3,000 soldiers under his command. Before leaving, Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, specially allocated 500 soldiers of the Cowardly Xue Army as Ashu's personal guards, and sent Huaidu, one of the 36 guards around him, to serve as the commander of the capital to personally protect Ashu.

The thirty-six guards around Kublai Khan were all descendants of the older generation of cowardly Xue Jun or the Mongol royal family, and were about the same age as Kublai Khan. In the spring of 1262, in the encirclement and suppression of Li Pu's rebellion, Kublai Khan personally ordered Huaidu to ask for it from the prince Habichi, and Huaidu went straight forward to fight, cutting more than 100 ranks, capturing more than 200 people, and capturing hundreds of soldiers. Li Pu retreated into the city, and Huaidu fought day and night. In the autumn and July, the Mongolian army attacked the city of Jinan, Huaidu single-handedly, killed the four guards under Li Pu's tent, and finally forced Li Pu into the Daming Lake in Jinan City. Habichi's first merit, the most, played the Great Khan, and gave the Golden Tiger Talisman.

On September 11, Ashu led his army to Lumen Mountain, southeast of Xiangyang City. After joining up with the army stationed at Lumen Mountain, Ashu gathered 18,000 men and arrived at the east gate of Xiangyang City in the early morning of September 14.

In the distance, Ashulema stood under the city, looked at it for a while, and praised: "What a strong city, worthy of the iron Xiangyang." ”

Ashuhan said: "Don't worry, no matter how strong the city is, it will be difficult to stop my Mongolian iron cavalry." ”

"Well, Ashuhan, according to the original plan to attack the city, you only need to understand the way of city defense and control in Xiangyang, and you must not let the sons and daughters suffer too many casualties."

"Yes, Marshal."

Ah Shu held Suluding in his right hand, and waved lightly with his left hand: "Okay, siege." ”

The third battle of Song and Meng officially kicked off with an order from Ashu.

Two days later, in the city of Xiangyang.

Lu Wende's son Lu Shikui hurriedly walked into the Shuaifu, and on the main seat of the main hall in the mansion sat Lu Wende, the envoy of the Xiangyang Military Region, on the chair on the left was Lu Wenhuan, the deputy envoy, and the one standing on the right was Lu Xin and Lu Shimeng, who had just returned from Lin'an. Lu Wende has two sons, the eldest son is named Lu Yan, the character master Kui, who was the commander of the 12th compartment of the Xiangyang Military Region at the time, and the second son is named Lu Xin, the character master Meng, that is, the one who once followed Lu Wende to Lin'an, made a big fuss in Tongle Building, and later entered Lin'an Military University to study.

"Father, the latest news, the Mongols are planning to retreat."

Lu Wende was stunned and said, "Really? The Mongols just tentatively launched an attack on my Xiangyang two days ago, and they are ready to retreat so quickly? ”

Lu Shikui said: "Father, the Mongolian pioneer Ashuhan led his 3,000 soldiers, and after launching an attack on Xiangyang City with the Mongolian garrison in Lumen Mountain two days ago, he turned to plunder the villages and towns around Xiangfan, and according to various indications, the Mongols will return to the north from the southwest. ”

Lu Wenhuan's eyes lit up, and he got up and said, "Big brother, this is an opportunity." ”

Lu Wende said in a deep voice: "No, Your Majesty has an order, and you must not go out of the city to pursue at will." ”

Of course, Lu Wenhuan also knew that the imperial court had this order, so he shook his head helplessly and sat back on the chair.
