Chapter 185: Fighting for Fortune and Seeking a Monthly Pass
After discussing with Chen Dexing on Guangyang Island all night, Wang Jian, Wang Yan and his son galloped away to Chongqing Fucheng with their guards in spite of their hard work and fatigue the next morning.
After listening to the reports of Chen Dexing and Yang Zhengnan, Wang Jian already had a good idea of the situation in the whole of Sichuan -- the contrast between the strength and weakness of Mongolia and Song has been completely reversed! The main force of the Mongolian army in Sichuan was unable to use the rivers and waterways of Sichuan to transfer troops because of the loss of the navy, and now it has fallen into a dangerous place in the mountains, the epidemic epidemic in the army, the army food will be starved, and the commander will either fall ill or die. They accounted for all the disasters of the soldiers. Even if they could return to Chengdu after walking more than 1,000 miles, it is estimated that they would suffer a lot of losses, the soldiers were exhausted, and the horses were lost. It's not a combatable soldier at all!
The Sichuan Song army will soon get reinforcements from Xiajiang, at least 50,000, all of which are elite! Coupled with the elite soldiers in Hezhou, Chongqing, Luzhou, Jiading and other places, the army that can go out of the city to fight in the field should be 1230,000! The number is at least three times that of the Mongolian army! Moreover, after the Mongol army kills horses and fills up food, both sides will lack cavalry. If you fight the infantry, the Song army will not be afraid of the Mongol Tartars.
On the way back to Chongqing, Wang Jian had already thought through the current situation. If the generals in Sichuan can work together with Lu Wende, who came down to the river, Sichuan's victory is just around the corner!
After entering the city of Chongqing, Wang Jian didn't care about going back to his private house to rest for a while, so he only took his son Wang Yan and turned to the Xuanfu envoy Yamen where Pu Zhizhi was located.
Compared with the scene of the previous day and night, today's Chongqing Fucheng is much more lively and prosperous.
The news of the Mongolian withdrawal has spread in Chongqing, and both the gentry and the common people are immersed in the happiness of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe. Walk on the road. Hearty laughter and loud voices could be heard about the Tartar fiasco. After more than 20 years of fighting with the Tartars, the vast majority of the Sichuan people. They all hated the Mongol Tartars so much that everyone was looking forward to a great victory to drive away the enemy. Presiding over the overall situation of Sichuan, the Xuanfu system made Pu Xuanzhi. Of course, the same idea is also true.
"What!? The Tartar army is wiped out, and the Great Khan of the Tartars is likely to die in Nantuochang! It's true? But really? β
Pu Zezhi asked a few words about the truth and falsehood, and after getting a positive answer, he quietly pinched his thigh again, so that he was sure that he was not daydreaming!
"Quick, go and pass on Liu Anfu and Yang Anfu and Senator Jiang." Pu Zeyi walked back and forth in the festival hall while ordering Liu Quan, Yang Wen and Jiang Wanli to be transmitted.
Wang Jian didn't say anything more, just found a chair and sat down to close his eyes and recuperate. He hadn't slept for two days and two nights, and his body was extremely tired. After closing his eyes, he made a soft sound. By the time Wang Yan woke him up, Liu Cheng and the others had already arrived, and a wooden map was placed in the middle of the festival.
Pu Zhizhi was standing on the edge of the wooden map with his arms crossed, his brows furrowed, as if he really knew what military strategy was. Liu Cheng followed Pu Zezhi's side, his expression was complicated, and he was silent. Yang Wen's face was also a little complicated, although the Yang family's roots in Banzhou were extremely deep, and their status could not be shaken. But because of the exploits of the Banzhou soldiers in the anti-Mongolian war. The interests of the Yang family have long been out of Banzhou, and the Banzhou army of the Yang family has also had the name of the imperial army. Who knows how Lu Wende, a strong dragon, will deal with the Yang family in Banzhou? Jiang Wanli was smiling, and the victory in Nantuochang was a good thing for him to lose pie in the world. He is Jia Yidao's Xuanfu Division Senator. is also an important minister who has been appeased all the way, and he has gone deep into the dangerous place with tireless work, and he should have a share of the great merit of Nantuochang. If the whole Sichuan can be restored, whether it is Lu Wende or Pu Zezhi, he will get the first credit. He can always get a share of the previous one. With such credit, it is only a matter of time before a cool umbrella (for the sole use of the rulers) is just a matter of time!
I saw Wang Jian wake up. Jiang Wanli took the lead and said: "The defeat of the Tartar soldiers is in danger, it is a good opportunity to restore the whole Sichuan, and to restore the whole Sichuan, it is inevitable to have a big battle in Chengdu Mansion, and the troops in the Sichuan are still a little insufficient, it is better to wait for the 40,000 soldiers in Wanzhou to arrive, and then march in together." β
An anxious look appeared on Liu Quan's face: "The soldiers are fast, Wanzhou is not less than six or seven hundred miles away from Chongqing Mansion, and they are all countercurrents, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach it in a month." By then, the Tartars have already retreated to Chengdu Mansion, so why don't we want to fight in Chengdu again? β
Pu Zezhi shook his head slightly, he suffered a big loss when he attacked Chengdu last year, which caused the Sichuan war situation to be out of control. Moreover, as soon as Lu Wenhuan's soldiers arrived, Lu Wende should almost arrive! When the time comes, who will lead the troops to fight Chengdu? Lu Wende or himself?
He looked at Yang Wen, who immediately echoed: "What Liu Anfu said is extremely true, the Tartars retreat thousands of miles away, and they must be the weakest time before they arrive in Chengdu." If you can gather a large number of troops, advance westward from Chongqing Prefecture, and surround Chengdu Mansion before the Tartars reach Chengdu, you will definitely be able to force the Tartars to fight in the field of Chengdu. β
Pu Zhizhi looked at Wang Jian who was tired, and only heard Wang Jian speak slowly: "I'm afraid that the Tartar trapped beast will fight to the death!" It is better to send the elite to Qingye than to fight in the wilderness, and it is better to go west to Chengdu than to go to Lizhou Road in the west of the Jialing River, take Jianmen and Langzhong, and block the road of Tartar's northward retreat. β
There are many ways to exit Sichuan to the north, and there are not only Jiange and Langzhong. Walking through the Tibetan border can also go out of Sichuan -- this is the road taken by the Red Army in later generations, which is difficult for the Mongols, and in the past, Kublai Khan waved his army to Dali to take the Tibetan border. But it is self-evident how high the cost of a tired army to cross the meadows and climb the snowy mountains. If the Mongol army retreating north took this road, it was possible to lose half of it on the way. This is Wang Jian's wishful thinking.
Liu Cheng said coldly: "I'm afraid that the Tartars won't leave after they recover in Chengdu, when will the situation in central Sichuan be stabilized?" β
Liu Quan's words were only half of what he said, if the Mongols were to hold on to Chengdu, they would not be able to drive them away by relying on the strength of the armies in Sichuan, and they could only wait for Lu Wende to arrive! At that time, the Sichuan Xuanfu system envoy will not be his Lu Wende's?
"But in Chengdu, can you Liu Zhongwu be sure?" Wang Jian actually didn't want Lu Wende to come to Sichuan to be the envoy of the Xuanfu system. If Lu Wende doesn't come, no matter who comes to Sichuan, he must rely on himself and Liu Quan, and it is steady to appease him all the way!
"How is it not sure?" Liu Chengyi raised his eyebrows, "The total number of soldiers in Chongqing, Hezhou, Banzhou, Luzhou, and Jiading is no less than 150,000, and there are always half of the soldiers who can fight, and more than 10,000 of the Thunderbolt Navy are elite. How can you not defeat the 450,000 tired army of Mongolia? β
He clenched his fists heavily: "Xuanfu, please give an order!" I am willing to be the vanguard of the three armies! β
Yang Wen also lowered his head and clenched his fists: "Please Xuanfu order, the last general should do his best, and then die!" β
Pu Zhizhi looked at Wang Jian again, the old man thought for a while, and finally looked at Jiang Wanli, "Xuanfu, the old man is quite elite in the Thunderbolt Navy before the Imperial Palace, if it can be used, it can be fought in Chengdu." β
Pu Zhizhi turned to Jiang Wanli, "There is a bachelor of Lao Jiang (Jiang Wanli has the official title of a scholar of Duanming Palace) to take some reward money and things to Guangyang Island." β
β¦β¦
"Captain ......"
The wounded soldier who spoke was already grateful. In the Guangyang Walled City, the best house is not where Chen Dexing lives, but where the wounded barracks are located. This was originally the residence of Yang Zhengnan, the Zhizhai of Guangyang Village, not luxurious, but spacious and clean. Now it has been carefully cleaned, hundreds of beds have been set up, and the mats and blankets used are all washed with hot water and exposed to the sun. In addition to having a medical officer with the army to take care of the treatment, Chen Dexing also asked Monk Liu to be in charge of this wounded and sick battalion, and transferred some teenagers from the fake army to Monk Liu to command, and was worried that these teenagers would not be able to take care of people, and also sent Yang Po'er, who was with the army in the name of a concubine, to be the "head nurse".
Under their careful care, the wounded in the army recovered well. In fact, war wounds in the era of cold weapons are not difficult to heal, the key is to be careful and serious. All kinds of utensils must be carefully disinfected, the wounds of wounded soldiers must be carefully cleaned, the wounds should be closed with a red-hot iron, and finally the lives of soldiers can be saved to the greatest extent -- all of the above are written into the code of conduct of the wounded barracks, and all medical officers and soldiers serving in the wounded barracks must strictly enforce them.
And Chen Dexing himself also took time out of his busy schedule and often cared about the situation of the wounded barracks, in case the people below were careless. This kind of behavior naturally made the wounded and sick lying on the hospital bed grateful, and they had more loyalty and followers in their hearts - of course, for the soldiers who were not injured, this was also a sign: Chen Dadu will not abandon anyone!
The cohesion of a team cannot all depend on brainwashing, it also needs to make everyone feel that the commander of this team really regards them as their own!
Chen Dexing pressed down the soldier who was struggling to get up, carefully examined his wounds, and turned back to Monk Liu who followed and the chief medical officer of the Perak Army, that is, Guo Fu'er's junior brother (Guo Fuer's father's apprentice) Ye Tianlong explained sentence by sentence: "There are still a few medical officers in this army, so it is better to choose some clever medical skills among my fake sons...... You don't need to teach you any pulse and medicine, just teach some surgical skills, debridement, bandaging, hemostasis, and by the way, you also need to teach the skills of epidemic prevention. β
"Yes, Gongwei!" Monk Liu and Ye Langzhong both crossed hands to receive orders. Monk Liu is naturally obedient and dedicated, and this Ye Langzhong is also serious and responsible, otherwise Guo Fuer would not recommend him to his son.
Chen Dexing nodded, put down Yan SΓΉ's expression, patted the wounded soldier again, and said gently: "Take care of yourself, at most two or three months, you can go back to the team and continue to kill Tartars!" Do it well, it's not a matter of time before an official body is an official? In the future, follow me back to the north and return home! β
The northland man almost cried, and his heart was suddenly full of thoughts of death: "Dutong, his subordinates must take good care of their injuries, and then follow the captain to kill the Tartar......s after the injuries are healed."
Chen Dexing smiled, and was about to visit the next wounded, when the door of the ward was pushed open, and several people turned their eyes, and saw Chen Dexing's guard captain and the general of the fake military department, Zhu Sijiu, walking in, and a cross-handed military salute: "Yu Dutong, a Jiang bachelor has come to Chongqing Mansion, and he has a lot of property, waiting for the Tai Lieutenant in the Dutong Division!"
