Chapter 157: Busy The first one is served
One after another urgent reports have been transmitted to the city of Chongqing in the past few days. Some were sent by the fortress branch of the Song army along the Jialing River. Although the Song army in Sichuan contracted badly, it did not only defend the isolated cities of Chongqing, Diaoyucheng, Luzhou, Jiading and Banzhou, but also a series of castles near Chongqing and Luzhou, which were enough to become a defensive system. Now the Mongolian army is heading south along the Jialing River, and the Song army castles along the way will naturally report to Chongqing Song at the first time.
For the Song army assembled in Chongqing, the army had long been defeated, its morale was low, and although there were still many people, it could not raise the momentum of the battle at all. When I heard that the Great Khan of Mongolia was going south, I was immediately nervous! Inside and outside the city of Chongqing, all martial law was imposed and the city gate was closed. The castle branches near the left of Chongqing are all manned. The people around the city of Chongqing also retreated into the city or the surrounding branches in an organized manner, and the villages and towns that could not be defended were all burned!
The people in the cities were also organized at the first time, and some of them became militiamen, wearing paper armor, carrying bows, crossbows, knives and guns to the head of the city. Others acted as people's servants, carrying supplies and building war equipment. All of a sudden, the already very tense air became even more tense, and it was almost about to burn. Everyone was in the middle of it, and they couldn't help but tense their nerves. This time, the Great Khan of Mongolia is here, and I want to come to Chongqing City to have a hard battle!
In the city of Chongqing, Jiang Wanli and Liang Chongru, who had just arrived, were also stunned by the news!
They always thought that the Mongol Great Khan would not go south before conquering the Diaoyu City, after all, he had been fortified for several months, and he had once approached Chongqing, and after finding that it was invulnerable, he went back to gnaw on the hard bone of the Diaoyu City. But they didn't expect that, but in a blink of an eye, they were not allowed to give full play to their ability to strategize, and contacted Song Jun from Chongqing to go east and break the Fuzhou pontoon bridge with Lu Wende's department. The Great Khan of Mongolia came south first.
Is this Chongqing about to become a battlefield? It's a self-defeating one...... If Chongqing is lost, how will the brothers live? Is it suicide and observance, or is it to endure humiliation and steal life?
"Xuanfu Xuanfu, this Chongqing Mansion may hold on?"
It was Jiang Wanli who spoke, and at this moment, his minister's demeanor didn't know where it went. Both eyes were bloodshot, staring at Pu Zhizhi deadly. It was the Sichuan Xuanfu envoy who was beaten by Niu Ling outside Chengdu. Liang Chongru couldn't say anything even more nervously, and the bearing of a celebrity on weekdays was no longer visible at this time. Originally, he wanted to use a little trick to take Chen Dexing's life, but he didn't expect that now it was the Mongolian Khan who was going to take his life.
Pu Zezhi's face is also ugly, as a Sichuan minister, he has almost lost Sichuan, how can this Xuanfu envoy continue? Now that the imperial court has made Lu Wende the deputy envoy of Sichuan, and asked him to supervise the army to aid Sichuan, it is clear that Lu Wende will be the leader of Sichuan.
The good man who is famous outside the dignified Donghua Gate has to be replaced by a vulgar martial artist from the army! How can you not make his heart like a knife? So these days, he was proud to learn that Lu Wende was blocked in Fuzhou, and he hoped that Meng Ge could retreat from Diaoyu City one step ahead of Lu Wende. In this way, he, the Shu handsome, can be regarded as having complete merits, and he can return to the court to recover his life in style...... As for staying in Sichuan to continue supervising the army, it was really unacceptable.
Now that I think about it, Chen Huaiqing's old fox is really a soldier, and he would rather stumble in martial arts than come out to do something related to military affairs - there are no less than ten and no less than eight Song Shouchen who want to invite Chen Dexing's father to go out of the mountain to be a military staff member over the years, including Pu Zezhi.
Hearing Jiang Wanli's question, Pu Zhizhi just shook his head, Jiang Wanli's face sank, and he asked, "What's the matter?" Chongqing can't hold the city? β
Pu Zhizhi still shook his head: "It's not that you can't hold it, it's that most of the Tartars won't come to fight." Chongqing is easy to defend and difficult to attack, not under Diaoyu City. The Great Khan of the Tartars has been attacking Diaoyu City for a long time, so how can he come to Chongqing again? β
In the end, he has been fighting with Tartars in Sichuan for a few years, although he has not won many battles, but this bit of eyesight is still valuable.
Jiang Wanli thought carefully for a while, and finally said with a solemn face: "Tartar is going to Fuzhou?" β
"Most likely," Pu Zezhi said, "Chongqing's defense is just a precaution." β
Jiang Wan's complexion sank, and he gasped and said: "It's not good, if the Tartar Khan wins a big victory in Fuzhou, Sichuan will be isolated!" β
Pu Zezhi nodded and said, "If this is the case, how long can Chongqing hold on?" How long can Diaoyu City hold out? β
Jiang Wanli said: "How many soldiers and horses are there in Chongqing? Is it possible to give it a go? β
"Go to Fuzhou?"
"That's right! As long as Fuzhou is captured before the Tartar Khan, LΓΌ Wende's reinforcements will arrive, and there are nearly 50,000 people, all of whom are elite. In addition, there are no less than 100,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 warships in Gangneung! β
"This ......" Pu Zezhi was embarrassed, after the first battle of Chengdu, he was discredited in the Sichuan army, Liu Quan, Yang Wen and others were not very obedient, and they shirked Pu Zezhi's orders in every possible way - if they didn't shirk, Meng Ge would probably have conquered the entire Sichuan!
Liang Chongru had calmed down at this time, his face was cloudy, and he began to weigh the gains and losses. Seeing that Pu Zezhi shirked and sent troops, Jiang Wanli wanted to urge again, but he hurriedly said: "Bachelor, don't rush to battle!" β
Jiang Wanli frowned and said, "If you don't fight now, once the Tartar army arrives in Fuzhou, can Lu Wenhuan still fight?" If the Yangtze River waterway is blocked, how long can Diaoyu City last? How much money does Chongqing have in reserve? β
After listening to Jiang Wanli's analysis, Pu Zhizhi was slightly moved, Diaoyu City and Chongqing Mansion could still hold out for a few years, but after all, it was a lonely city that was difficult to defend.
Liang Chongru's eyes rolled a few times, and he already had an idea, Chongqing would not be able to lose it for a while. Moreover, the Tartars must have concentrated their forces to fight in Fuzhou, and it was impossible to divide their troops to encircle Chongqing...... If the defenders of Chongqing are willing to retreat to Banzhou, the Tartar Khan may not be able to ask for it! Therefore, even if Lu Jiajun and Chen Dexing were defeated in Fuzhou, he and Jiang Wanli could still retreat.
Liang Chongru groaned slightly: "Bachelor, with Chongqing here, the Great Khan of the Tartars will not be able to go east with all his might, the middle route army of the Tartars is just a lone army, and Xuanxian County will always have a way to deal with it." If there is no Chongqing, the Great Khan of Tartars will be able to raise the strength of the whole Sichuan to the east. β
"Lift the power of the whole river?" Jiang Wanli was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Liang Chongru meant. Pu Zhizhi on the side clapped his hands and said loudly: "If it weren't for Yifu's reminder, I would have almost mistaken the country!" β
Jiang Wanli looked at Pu Zhizhi, and the latter explained: "There are many traitors among the generals in Sichuan, and the Yang family of Banzhou has been divided for fifteen generations, just like a marquis. Once Chongqing is lost, as long as the Tartar Khan promises a high position, it is possible to recruit the generals and the Yang family in Banzhou. When the time comes, Da Song Ke will be in danger! β
Jiang Wanli thought about it carefully, and also felt that what Pu Zezhi said was reasonable. He frowned and said, "Is there a way to send an envoy to Wanzhou?" β
Wanzhou was the garrison of LΓΌ Wenhuan's army, and the envoy Wanzhou naturally wanted to sue the Great Khan of the Tartars to go south.
"Yes." Pu Zezhi: "You can take a detour to Wanzhou by stone pillar." β
Liang Chongru hurriedly bowed his hand and interjected: "It's better to go to the lower officials in person." β
