There are 209 monthly passes, which can only be described as a miracle, Luo Luo is so grateful, the fifth update is now available!

The smoke of the big mountain is straight, and the sun sets on the Yangtze River.

Standing on a high place and looking at the mountainous area where the Mongolian army is located, it is still a scene of blowing horns and camps, and the scene of a scorching army under the command of 800 miles.

The Battle of Nantuochang ended in the early hours of the morning with the withdrawal of the Mongol army. But the Mongols did not go far, Dazhai was in the hills and mountains west of Nantuochang, but there was a wide flat place where you could camp, and military horses were stationed.

At dusk, smoke was rising from the camp, and a large herd of war horses was led by the Mongol cavalry and taken to the surrounding stream to drink and wash their horses. However, on the beachhead of the Yangtze River, there is no shadow of a Mongolian warrior.

The Nine Journeys of Baixu, a symbol of the Great Khan of the Mongols, still stood tall, and the cowardly warriors waited faithfully outside the Great Khan's Golden Tent as usual. Military orders issued in the name of the Great Khan spread like a stream to all parts of the Mongol army garrison. or condolences, or reprimands, or strict orders, as if the Mongol Khan was still alive.

"Queen, Queen! Now is not the time to avenge the Great Khan, the Yangtze River waterway has been lost, tens of thousands of troops are in a desperate situation, there is not much grain and grass in the camp, once the Fuzhou pontoon bridge is broken by the Southern Barbarians, the back road of the army will be lost! Empress, Your Majesty thinks that it is time to retreat immediately! ”

In the quiet golden-roofed tent, I heard an old man crying and sobbing. A Mongolian woman in full costume sat on a soft couch, tilted over, her eyes glazed over, and she didn't know what she was thinking. She is the second queen who followed Möngke Khan's southern expedition. Vulture fan. There was no taboo in the Mongol Empire that women were not allowed to interfere in politics, after the death of the Great Khan of Ögedei and the Great Khan of Guiyu. The Mongol Empire was once ruled by an empress. It was added together for a total of eight years. Therefore, after the death of Möngke Khan, the envoys of the conscription were established. Empress Vulta was carried out by the kings of the generals.

However, this woman did not have the means of being the queen of Naima (the wife of Ogedei) and the queen of Haimi (the wife of Guiyu). There was no ambition to control the Mongol Empire. The sudden tragic death of her husband has made her a little dispossessed, and she wants to avenge her husband for a while. After a while, he wanted to return to the Mongolian steppe as soon as possible to convene the Kuritai Assembly, so that the new Great Khan could be elected as soon as possible.

And kneeling in front of her. It was Shi Tianze, who was talking and crying with a grief-stricken face, and when it came to emotion, he kept meeting on the ground, as if it was not the Mongolian Great Khan who died but his own father Shi Bingzhi. Boyin Temor stood with a scimitar in his hand. Behind the bald, a pretty face was gloomy and a little scary. Several Mongolian kings and generals, such as Moge, Niu Ling, Tuhuan and Shusu Huli, as well as the Tibetan Grand Lama Ba Sipa, and the Quanzhen Taoist Yin Zhiping all sat on the Hu beds on both sides, all looking at Wu Li with an anxious expression. Vulture fan.

It's easy to wait for Shi Tianze to cry and cry and say the construction of the withdrawal of troops. Stand up. The bald fan said slowly: "What do you all think? Do you really want to spare the southern barbarians who killed the Great Khan? ”

Several people's eyes were focused on Brother Mo's face, this Brother Mo was Meng Ge's younger brother, and he was the number two person in the army led by Meng Ge, so it was natural for him to make up his mind now. Brother Mo pondered for a moment, and said carefully: "It was the Southern Barbarian's Imperial Thunderbolt Naval Army that harmed the Great Khan, and they were all under the command of Chen Dexing...... This is the enemy of our great Mongolia, and we must firmly remember that there will always be a day of revenge in the future! But right now, the Great Khan is dead. The army was in danger again, and the country was leaderless for a while. It is indeed not the time for a decisive battle...... Moreover, the mountainous area of eastern Sichuan and the Yangtze River are not the battlefields of our Great Mongolian Iron Cavalry. Even if the Great Khan is still there. It is estimated that it will not be fought again. ”

Stand up. Queen Vulture sighed, wiped her tears, and suddenly lowered her voice: "This Chen Dexing is my enemy." He is also the enemy of all the Mongols, and whoever will be the Great Khan in the future. Don't forget this hatred! Chen Dexing...... Gotta die! The Thunderbolt Army must be destroyed! ”

The Mongolian magnates in the big tent glanced at each other. They all nodded heavily. Of course, the enemy who killed the Great Khan could not let him live! Otherwise, where would the prestige of Great Mongolia be? Without prestige, how can Great Mongolia still dominate the four directions, and how can it dominate the four seas?

Shi Tianze met again at this time: "Queen, the minister still has something to say, we can't let Chen Dexing, a thief, become famous because of the death of the Great Khan...... The Great Khan can only be infected and collapsed! ”

As soon as he heard this, Brother Mo nodded in his heart, it was still this Shi Tianze who was thoughtful. The news of Möngke Khan's death must be blocked! This is about the face of the Mongol Empire...... And it is also related to Chen Dexing's future in Nanban.

Stand up. Queen Vulta nodded and said, "Then let's say that the Great Khan is sick...... Wait until the army retreats to Liupan Mountain before announcing the death of the Great Khan. ”

……

While the Mongolian side was planning to retreat and return to the division, under the sunset, Chen Dexing was presiding over the funeral.

After almost a day's rest, the Perak Navy had recovered four or five points of strength, and the statistics of casualties and results had come out.

Although yesterday's battle was won, the Thunderbolt Army's own losses were not light. Including the 1,500 losses brought by Zhang Shijie, 1,533 were killed, 355 were missing, and 218 were seriously wounded. A total of two thousand one hundred and six people were lost!

The 1,533 people who were reported dead were all reduced to corpses - the principle of the Perak Navy is to never abandon a comrade! Of course, this principle cannot be 100% achieved, but we must do our best to do it! Therefore, after the end of the war, Chen Dexing's first order was to collect the bodies of the war dead, and at the same time register important information such as names, places of origin, and official positions. Then there are the spark corpses, which are packed into the urns that have been prepared in advance.

Chen Dexing, dressed in sackcloth and holding a butter torch, accompanied by a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe, and under the watchful eyes of the soldiers of the three armies, he lit the pyres for cremation one by one.

For each one, he had to shout: "Brother so-and-so, goodbye to heaven!" ”

And those who watched the funeral, in addition to the soldiers under Chen Dexing's command, were more than 1,000 people brought by Zhang Shijie, as well as more than 4,000 captured Mongolian Han troops and new annexed troops.

"Commander, this Chen Gongwei can really buy people's hearts, no wonder the Thunderbolt Navy Army is working hard from top to bottom!"

Zhang Shijie listened to the words of a general beside him, nodded and said, "This is the means...... In the past, Yue Wumu and Yu Qiao were afraid that they were not as good as him! ”

"Why don't he already give his life, if he is like him, he will not be wiped out?"

Zhang Shijie looked back at the man, "Extermination? 100,000 people are united, and I don't know whose family is going to exterminate the clan! ”

"Commander," this is naturally Zhang Shijie's henchman, hearing this, his face suddenly showed surprise, "You want to ......"

"Let's see what he does!" Zhang Shijie paused, lowered his voice and said, "This kind of character can restore the Central Plains...... If we want to return home one day, we can only count on him! ”

……

When Zhang Shijie walked into Chen Dexing's tent, Chen Dexing and several henchmen were eating and discussing things around Zhang Fang's table.

Eating is very simple, boiled gnocchi, cured meat, fish, a big bowl per person, just eat like this - the rules of the Perak Navy, when you go to the battlefield, the officers and soldiers are supplied together, what the ordinary soldiers below eat, and the officers above eat until Chen Dexing himself! Moreover, it is the soldiers who eat first, the officers eat later, the junior officers eat first, and the senior generals eat last.

This is not just a gesture to express the sharing of weal and woe, but must really see that the subordinates have eaten, so that the officers can eat with peace of mind, this is the embodiment of the sense of responsibility! The same is true when it comes to camping! The style of the ancient famous generals was written into the "Drill Code" in the Thunderbolt Army.

Of course, when stationed in peacetime, officers still have to enjoy special treatment according to the size of their official positions.

"Commander Zhang, have you eaten it? Do you want to use it together? Chen Dexing greeted politely.

Zhang Shijie glanced at the food that several "generals" were eating, and just shook his head with a smile. Although his officials are not as big as Chen Dexing, and there are not many soldiers under his command, he really doesn't know how much better than Chen Dexing in terms of food on the front line - the officer who commands this level is already considered high-level in the Song army, and even when he sends troops to fight, he takes servants and cooks to serve all the way.

"Gong Wei, I heard that yesterday's cannon killed the Great Khan of the Tartars, but is it true?" As soon as Zhang Shijie sat down, he first asked about Meng Ge's life and death.

The killing of the Mongol Khan is a great achievement! Speaking of which, there is also Zhang Shijie's share, and his 1,500 people have fought hard against the Tartars in Nantuochang Dazhai.

"Perhaps," Chen Dexing unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table, his tone faint. "This matter is not trivial, it must not be misreported, it must be carefully verified."

Chen Dexing's words were noncommittal. Zhang Shijie was a little strange when he heard it, there are many misreported military exploits on the battlefield, and the merits of killing the Mongolian Great Khan will naturally be investigated, and it doesn't hurt to misreport below. Chen Dexing actually chose not to report, which is really a bit strange.

Chen Dexing paused, his brows already furrowed: "Although the battle of Nantuochang was won, the Mongolian army is still strong, and the situation in central Sichuan is still grim, so we must deal with it with all our might." I have made up my mind, and the army will be drawn tomorrow, and the land and water will go in to take Fuzhou. Would Commander Zhang be willing to go with him? ”

Zhang Shijie thought for a while, and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Chen Dexing's gourd for a while. But he still nodded and agreed, recovering Fuzhou is always a credit, right? It is not clear whether the Great Khan died or not, but it is easy to find out whether the territory has been recovered.

Chen Dexing smiled and said: "That's good, Sichuan has lost a lot of land, and the situation is unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty, but it is a good place for the husband to make contributions." Brother Shijie is not as good as a certain one who has been on a expedition in Sichuan for a year and a half. ”

Yes, Chen Dexing is not in a hurry to leave Sichuan now, not because he wants to get a piece of land in Sichuan, but because he wants to strengthen his strength in the process of conquering Sichuan. And if you want to achieve this goal, the credit for killing the Mongol Khan is obviously a good bargaining chip, so now you can't rush to grab all of them in your own name...... (To be continued......)
