The battle seemed to be smoother than Gao Huaiyuan thought, Gao Huaiyuan and his entourage had already received the news when they passed through Ezhou, and the two Song armies had begun to attack the Jin State according to the plan, and even Meng Hui did not wait for him in Ezhou, but led the army forward first, arrived in Suizhou, and was ready to attack Dengzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Gao was far from staying in Ezhou, so he crossed the river directly to Suizhou, and all kinds of ships on the Yangtze River waterway passed back and forth, transporting all kinds of materials and resources to the front.

The Song people have indeed been comfortable for a long time, and it is not until today that the Song people can be regarded as waking up in the deafening shouts of Gao Huaiyuan and others, but once the Song people wake up, the power that can burst out is quite amazing.

No country in this world can have such economic strength as the Southern Song Dynasty, and no country has such a large war mobilization capacity as the Southern Song Dynasty.

In addition to the nearly 300,000 soldiers and generals of the Eastern and Western Routes who are ready to go out at any time, the number of civilians recruited to participate in logistics and transportation in various localities far exceeds the number of soldiers by several times, and at least hundreds of thousands of people are busy for the country for this unprecedented war.

Although this will affect the economy of the Southern Song Dynasty to a certain extent, Gao Huaiyuan doesn't think it's a big deal, because as a traverser, he knows that if they don't pay such a price now, then more than ten years later, they will compensate for the price they have to pay now at the cost of destroying the country, not to mention that the war has dividends, as long as the war is won, the victorious side can get more land and more resources, which is enough to compensate for the price paid for the war...

It is impossible for such an action not to attract the criticism of some people, especially the people who have been forcibly requisitioned in some places, they are all strong laborers in the family, and being requisitioned at this time will undoubtedly delay or simply leave many things in their families.

But Gao Huaiyuan had arranged this matter for Wenchen's side before leaving, and anyone who was found to have deliberately sabotaged or resisted not to work would be dealt with by thunderous means, even if it was to kill some people.

And what he has to do now is to repay the whole country and the nation he has served with victory after victory, and only in this way can he accomplish his ambition.

When a barbarian force rises, it is inevitable that it will clash with a civilization that surpasses them, which is an unchangeable fact, and in history, especially in the period of cold weapons, barbarians can often defeat civilized forces, and now what he has to do is to reverse this tragedy, Song and Mongolia from the moment Genghis Khan rose in the steppe, it has been destined to become a hostile camp that will not stand on the other, either the Mongols were wiped out by the Han, or the Han were enslaved by the Mongols, and there is no element that can be compromised. The deeper reason is that Gao Huaiyuan has reached a peak, which is like a boat sailing against the current, and he must climb to another peak in order to maintain his prestige among the Han people.

From the moment he stepped into this life, Gao Huaiyuan felt that he seemed to be in a position where he could not retreat, and this time it was the same, he had to move forward and knock down the huge enemy in front of him, otherwise, once he failed, then not only him, but also the entire nation, would fall into a situation from which he could never recover.

Of course, this enemy is not the Jin country they are attacking now, but to compete with the Mongols in the Central Plains on the land of Jin, so that the people of the world can see who is qualified to control this world.

When he arrived in Suizhou, Meng Hui led a large number of generals to greet him in a very grand manner, and Hulala knelt down countless armored soldiers outside the camp.

"Humble welcome to the Prime Minister!" The countless soldiers who followed Meng Heng shouted loudly to Gao Huaiyuan in unison, and the sound was like heavy thunder in the sky of Suizhou City. . .

Gao Huaiyuan looked at these people in front of him who were half a cut shorter than him with a little bad taste, and enjoyed this feeling of being above ten thousand people, but he didn't have the slightest sense of shame, because he thought that he was worthy of these people doing this to him now, if it weren't for his efforts, the broken ship of the Southern Song Dynasty would have sunk according to the previous inertia until it was drowned in the ocean of history, and it was he who changed this era and reversed this history.

"Excuse me!" With Gao Huaiyuan's voice, thousands of soldiers who came out to greet him immediately stood up, and all the soldiers, including Meng Hui, looked at Gao Huaiyuan with a look of adoration.

"Today! I will take you with me to wash away the humiliation that was once imposed on us Han people by the Tatars! From now on, I will lead you to make our Han nation stand on this world again, and let everyone know that we Han people are the masters of this world! Gao Huaiyuan was also a little excited at this time, and sat on the horse and said loudly to the soldiers who came to greet him.

Few people noticed that Gao Huaiyuan's sentence did not mention a single Song character, just a general mention of their Han people, even if someone noticed the language of Gao Huaiyuan's sentence, no one thought that he said something wrong...

Outside the Suizhou camp, a cheering voice immediately sounded: "God bless the Great Song, God bless the Great Song!" ............" This cheer can be said to be deafening and makes everyone's blood boil. The ceremony to welcome Gao Huaiyuan was solemn but brief, and soon Gao Huaiyuan and Meng Hui and others entered the big tent, and at this time, Meng Hui had already prepared his Chinese army marshal's tent for Gao Huaiyuan, and the maps had already been hung up, just waiting for Gao Huaiyuan's arrival.

"How's the battle going up ahead?" After all, it was during the trip, and Gao Huaiyuan had not received some news yet, and the situation on the east and west roads was now temporarily gathered in the Suizhou camp, so Gao Huaiyuan immediately asked Meng Heng as soon as he entered the big tent.

The excited look on Meng Hui's face had not completely subsided, and in such a situation, he would never snub Gao Huaiyuan by pretending to be a brother, so he immediately strode to the front of the map with a smile, pointing to the map and reporting to Gao Huaiyuan:

"Enlightened handsome! The humble post has just received news from all the armies, and the actions of our army can be said to be very smooth, and everything is going according to the plan of the commander!

The soldiers and horses of our Eastern Route Army have already started to act five days ago! Xuzhou General Zhou's army has gone out of Xuzhou to invade the territory of the Jin State, the front of the army pointed directly at the Guide Mansion, along the way the Jin Army was completely defeated, the Jin Army has given up blocking our army, the turtle retreated into the Guide Mansion, made a defensive position, General Zhou said that he would capture the Guide Mansion within ten days. . .

General Zhao of Jingdong has also raised troops out of Jinan and attacked in the direction of Liaocheng, the situation is still unknown, but it is reported that the Liaocheng garrison is Zhang Hui, the old department of Li Quan, who was stationed at the beginning, and the soldiers who can fight are only a thousand people, with the strength of General Zhao, the capture of Liaocheng should be very fast!

Our north Zhongshun army under the leadership of Huang Xu, has been the first to march into Tangzhou, along the way to attack the city and pull out the village Jin army can be said to be looking at the wind, Tangzhou has been taken by Huang Xu a day ago, and is now resting in Tangzhou, ready to make peace with the Jiankang Mansion army, continue to send troops to attack Caizhou.

And Li Xiaotian's troops have already left Jiankang Mansion and are going up the river, and the front army has already entered Chizhou, so they can march to Yingzhou.

Now the Ezhou army of the general's headquarters is waiting here for the arrival of the marshal, ready to send troops to attack Dengzhou at any time!

And the deputy marshal of the West Route Army, Hua, also sent a message last night to inform the marshal that their side had also begun to act, and Huang Yan's Qin Fengjun had begun to march in the direction of Yan'an Mansion under the leadership of Li Ruohu.

And Huang Yan led a section that was advancing in the direction of Hezhong Mansion, and Yue Kun's Lizhou army was also ready in the Lanzhou area and Xining Prefecture, and could send troops to attack Liangzhou at any time!

It can be said that the situation is very good! Meng Heng said to Gao Huaiyuan with an excited expression on his face that he had received the news from the various armies here...

After Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he looked at the map and asked in disbelief: "The first merit was actually taken by Huang Xu?" Why did he capture Tangzhou so quickly? It's only been a few days! It shouldn't be so fast! ”

Meng Hui was a little proud, after all, the Zhongshun Army was directly subordinate to his Ezhou Army, after the Northern Expedition started this time, it can be said that the Zhongshun Army took the lead and captured an important city in the Jin Kingdom, and the first merit of the Northern Expedition can be said to have been taken by him first. "The message can't be wrong! The Zhongshun Army was the first to receive the order of the commander among all the soldiers and horses, he received the military order a few days earlier than other places, and on the day he received the order, Huang Xu immediately raised his troops and set off, basically did not encounter resistance from the Jin army along the way, and even Huyang County surrendered immediately! So he can say that it didn't take much effort to attack Tangzhou directly!

Isn't this the genius of the handsome? Selling grain and armor to the Jin country, the result was that the Jin country complained, and these Jin troops who were close to our dynasty had already separated from the Jin country, and many people were ready to return to our dynasty early, so Huang Xu was so smoothly marched into Tangzhou City!

Don't look at the gold lord this time to send the Shifting Thorn Pua to Tangzhou, although the Shifting Thorn Pua can fight, but the result is not able to stop the Tangzhou defenders from opening the city and surrendering! Huang Xu's life is good, the second day of the siege at the beginning, the Jin general stationed at the south gate of Tangzhou opened the city gate and surrendered, but Huang Xu led the army into the city, and after only two days, he took Tangzhou City. . .

Even the general of the Jin Kingdom, Shifting Assassin Pua, died in the chaos, and the head has been sent back! It's on display in the camp now! Meng Hui roughly explained Huang Xu's capture of Tangzhou to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan believed that the news was not fake, and immediately laughed: "Huang Xu, this kid doesn't seem to be worse than his brother Huang Yan!" Yes, well done, capture Tangzhou, and open the south gate of the Jin Kingdom! I'm afraid it won't last long on the Dengzhou side! Give this guy a first credit! ”

It's hard to believe that things are going well, and it's only been a few days! Jin Guo lost the important Tangzhou, an important stronghold in the south, which is equivalent to being disemboweled by the Song army on the belly of Jin State, so as long as the Gwangju area is conquered by the Song army again, then the southern part of Jin Guo is basically no danger to defend! The only remaining Caizhou is a relatively difficult nail to pull, and if Caizhou is conquered again, Jin Guo will become a wolf who is interrupted by the waist!

After hearing these news, not only Gao Huai was overjoyed, but even the main officers in the tent also showed a smile, now no one really takes Jin Guo as a dish, everyone knows that Jin Guo has now become a waste, and the broken house of Jin Dynasty is even more riddled with holes, and now as long as you go up and kick it, the broken house of Jin Guo can basically collapse immediately...

"The handsome man has just arrived, why don't you take a rest first?" After talking about these military information, Meng Heng asked Gao Huaiyuan.

"What to rest? Am I seventy or eighty? Hehe, it's nothing to me, I don't need to rest! Now that the war has started, then we must move faster, be sure to get ahead of the Mongols, and take down the Jin Kingdom! Where is the Xiangyang Army now? Gao Huaiyuan waved his hand and immediately asked.

"Dengzhou and Xiangyang are only one step away, at the moment the Xiangyang army is still in contact with Dengzhou's guard Zhang Xu, trying to persuade Zhang Xu, and Zhang Xu seems to be interested in surrendering to our dynasty, I think if this battle can not be fought, it is better not to fight, in this way, our army can directly enter Guangzhou, and Tangzhou's Zhongshun army and Li Xiaotian's Jiankang Mansion army to join forces, directly attack Caizhou, so that the southern half of the Jin country basically has no Jin army to resist us going north!" Meng Hui immediately replied...

"It seems that this battle is going more smoothly than I expected, Dengzhou doesn't have to worry, as soon as Tangzhou loses Dengzhou's Jin army will be alone, even if they don't surrender, they won't last long! The herald ordered the Xiangyang army not to wait any longer, and directly sent troops to threaten Dengzhou, and it is best to put some pressure on them, so that they will surrender faster!

Brother Meng, in fact, we have recovered most of Gwangju in the early years, here and Tangzhou training into a line, with our troops now gathered in Gwangju, it is not a problem to recover the entire Gwangju area, things came more suddenly, we can't gnaw a little bit step by step, and when Li Xiaotian comes, Jin Guo will find a way to increase troops in this area, so it will delay a lot of time!

Huang Xu has now opened up a very good situation for us, we will now send troops to Gwangju, and at the same time transfer the materials to Tangzhou as much as possible to hoard, so as to prepare for our attack on Caizhou! I don't know what Brother Meng thinks? Gao Huaiyuan pointed to the map and said to Meng Heng.

Meng Heng thought for a moment and then hesitated a little and said, "Wouldn't this be too impatient?" I have no opinion on the transfer of grain in the direction of Tangzhou, but now we will immediately attack Gwangju without waiting for the arrival of the Jiankang Mansion army, so that only the Xiangyang Mansion Army will be left to deal with Dengzhou! At present, the Xiangyang army can mobilize only about 10,000 soldiers, once Dengzhou does not surrender, with their strength, I am afraid they will not be able to defeat Dengzhou in a short time! After all, Dengzhou is an important town of the Jin Army in the south, and its strength is not less than that of the Xiangyang Army! Ten rules are surrounded, and if there is a change in Dengzhou, it will affect our back road! I hope the handsome man will be more cautious! ”

Gao Huaiyuan smiled, remembering that although Meng Hui was a famous general, he was the best at defense, otherwise history would not say that he was a master of mobile defense! Moreover, Meng Heng's attitude towards war has always been steady, which is different from his adventurous preference...

So Gao Huaiyuan shook his head and said: "Brother Meng don't have to worry, although there are still a lot of Jin troops in Dengzhou, there is no need to worry, even if they don't surrender now, they don't have the strength to attack Xiangyang!"

With the strength of the Xiangyang Army, even if he can't capture Dengzhou, he can drag down the Dengzhou Jin Army, not to mention that I also know Zhang Xu, this person is timid and afraid, and it is expected that he will not dare to lead the army south to take the initiative to attack.

As long as we capture Gwangju as quickly as possible and advance to Caizhou, even if Zhang Xu does not surrender, he has no choice! So I think it's better for us to immediately send troops to attack Gwangju, as long as we take the Loess Pass, then Gwangju is basically under our control! ”

Seeing that Gao Huaiyuan's attitude was very resolute, Meng Heng thought for a while and felt that Gao Huaiyuan was right, but now Gao Huaiyuan has the final say, and in terms of combat experience, Gao Huaiyuan is still a lot more than him, the commander of the Jingxi Army, and from Gao Huaiyuan's style of action over the years, he also knows that Gao Huaiyuan likes to win in danger, and has won one victory after another, and at the same time, Gao Huaiyuan also has huge intelligence resources, and knows more about the situation of the Jin State than him, so Meng Heng also nodded and agreed to enter Gwangju as soon as possible. Let's take the loess pass first!

Regarding Gao Huaiyuan's opinion, this time the entourage of the Privy Council Staff did not object, after all, they had carefully agreed on various situations on the way here, and it was already their established strategy to quickly attack the hinterland of the Central Plains, according to Meng Hui's idea, it might be delayed a lot, even if the current situation deviated from their previous expectations, they also thought that Gao Huaiyuan was right to do this, so these people supported Gao Huaiyuan's idea.

As Meng Hui, who has been running Jingxi all the year round and often fought with the Jin army in the past, he is most familiar with the situation in this area, Gao Huaiyuan made up his mind, he no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the Xiangyang army to no longer wait for Zhang Xu's reply from Dengzhou, and immediately raised troops to Xiangyang to attack Dengzhou, and the 20,000 Ezhou troops under his command immediately began to move towards Guangzhou.

Over the years, Meng Heng and the Jin army have fought a lot in this area, but in the past few years, this area has calmed down, and the Jin country has focused on dealing with the Mongols, and the war here has completely calmed down.

The Ezhou army that got the order went out of the camp the next day, and marched in the direction of Guangzhou, Gao Huaiyuan did not act with the army this time, after all, he is now the commander of the army, if he is still allowed to draw his sword and lead the troops to fight at every turn, then I am afraid that it will only be the day when the Song army is defeated!

There is no need to let go of so many brave generals under his hands, especially a general like Meng Hui, it is strange that he is not lazy!

Therefore, he did not participate in this battle, and only sent Meng Heng to lead the army, while he and the staff generals and personal soldiers of the staff stayed in Suizhou to be responsible for the central dispatch.
