——

Facing the rising sun, hovering over the corpse mountain and sea of blood, and the battlefield of disarray, Lei Timur couldn't help but sigh: "Shiye? Fate? ”

In the first battle of Liaoyang, Naha sent out tens of thousands of troops, and only a few thousand returned. From now on, Mo said that he still has the intention of using it to balance the situation in Liaodong, but he is afraid that it will be difficult for Shenyang to protect itself. It can be said that Lei Timur's wishful thinking of not taking the chestnut from the fire has not been officially implemented, and it has already been declared dead.

He couldn't laugh or cry.

This cannot be said to be his miscalculation. An army of tens of thousands of people, standing still and letting people cut off their heads, will have to be killed for several days, who would have thought that it would suddenly be wiped out? And the reason is only because they mistook the thousands of Shangdu troops for the reinforcements of Haidong.

Lei Timur couldn't help but sigh again and repeated: "Shiye? Fate? Luck also! ”

He couldn't find an answer, so he could only attribute the reason for all this to luck. Perhaps, Haidong is lucky, this is true, no one can know for sure. However, soon, Lei Timur could find out without spending that the luck of Shangdu and Shenyang was not very good, but it was an indisputable fact.

A few days later, with Lei Timur Buhua arriving in Pyongyang, an urgent military report from Shangdu was also delivered to Deng She.

Haidong and Nahachu learned almost at the same time: on the order of Emperor Yuan, Polo Timur, who was stationed in Datong, personally led the three armies, mobilized the army, and sent troops to the capital, and its vanguard had arrived in Xinghe.

Xinghe is located between Datong and Shangdu. The distance is about 500 li, the distance from Datong is also about 500 li, and the distance from Dadu is almost 500 li, which is in the center of the big triangle.

The strategic position is more important.

During the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao once "rode and shot in Hufu" here. In the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Daowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty set up six military towns along the border of Shanxi, Hebei and Inner Mongolia in order to defend against the invasion of the nomadic Rouran from the Mongolian steppe in the north, and Rouxuan Town near Xinghe was one of them. In the fourth year of Zhengguang in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the soldiers and civilians of the six towns rebelled. After the failure of the uprising, the hometown of the Six Towns was in ruins.

What was once an important military town has now become the place where the fierce soldiers are located.

In the Pyongyang State Guest House, Lei Timur did not sit still, and he regretted it.

There are 500 miles from Xinghe to Shang, which seems to be far away, but the terrain of Monan is basically flat, and the rivers are also very scarce. And Xinghe area, are all within the sphere of influence of Meng Yuan, there is no artificial obstruction, if the Polo Timur army galloped, it will take less than ten days, from Xinghe to the upper capital.

Although there are still more than 10,000 military horses in the upper capital, there are not many old soldiers, most of them are new soldiers who have not been recruited for a long time. Cheng Si is brave and resourceful, without the assistance of Lei Timur and no flowers, can he resist Polo Timur? The answer is self-explanatory. Without foreign aid, the fall of Shangdu would only be a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Lei Timur didn't feel like it was a bit of a fluke.

Although the result of rushing to Liaoyang was very contrary to his original intentions,—— Nahachu was hit hard. But anyway, he gave Deng She a great favor. The plan can't catch up with the changes, the times have changed, there is a way to know the times for the handsome, and now the people are under the roof and have to bow their heads.

He no longer has any idea of balancing Liaodong, nor does he have the extravagant idea of a fox and a fake tiger, he no longer regards himself as a vertical and horizontal strategist, and has become a lobbyist instead, and has begged to see Deng She twice in a row, and he wants to move Deng She, just begging him to quickly transfer back to the elite and help Shangdu.

Deng She convened the civil and military ministers to discuss the matter.

The people were of different opinions, and some were in favor of support, saying: "Polo Timur is a great general of the Tartars. In the Battle of Fengzhou last year, he annihilated tens of thousands of Guan Duo troops. The father-in-law of the lord was not in this battle. From this point of view, he can be called the great enemy of life and death of my Haidong, and he has a life-and-death enmity with my Haidong. This time, he came to take the capital again, and if the capital is lost, the door of Liaodong will be wide open.

"Therefore, the minister thinks that whether it is public or private, our army should help it."

If there is an objection, he said: "The minister heard that Polo Timur was in Datong, and by the order of the Tartar Emperor, he set up a major capital to supervise the military and agricultural divisions, and also led his duties, and placed ten sub-divisions under him, and specially supervised the tun planting, which has been one year. Most of the harvest is kept in the army for its own needs, except for transportation. The rich land of Shanxi will inevitably have a lot of harvest before the year.

"If you harvest more, you will have enough food. If you have enough food, you will have morale. If there is morale, there is fighting spirit. At the same time, he took advantage of the aftermath of the great victory in Fengzhou a year ago, and he was afraid that he would be even more angry. Compared with our army, the war has been fought for many years, and the war situation in Liaodong has been decided, and the war in South Goryeo has not ended. With my fatigue, I rushed to fight its elite, and the minister thought that the odds of victory were small and the chances of defeat were great.

"The Art of War: You will not be able to raise troops out of anger. The Lord must not fail to examine it and think carefully. ”

The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable. The same problem, from different angles, will lead to different conclusions. Deng She closed his eyes, leaned back on the soft couch and sat down, supporting his head with one hand and gently tapping the handle of the soft couch with the other, listening to the fierce debate among the ministers. He was not afraid of them arguing, on the contrary, the more intense they argued, the happier he was.

Because, listening to it is clear. Only when they debate fiercely and deeply can the advantages and disadvantages of friend and foe be thoroughly analyzed. to help him make the right decision.

On the side in favour of support, one person came out to refute the arguments put forward by the opponents. He said: "Polo Timur has a large capital overseer of the army and the agricultural department, and I also have a tuntian army in Haidong. If we compare the abundance of food, we will judge the level of morale. May I ask Lord Liu, how can the grain of Datong have the abundance of my Haidong? This is one of them.

"Although the Polo Timur Ministry won the victory in Toyosu a few years ago, the morale was very high.

"But I Haidong, for more than a year, I took Liaoyang first, and got closer to Wangjing. The marshal's flag points to the town; Our army is invincible everywhere. Wang Qi, the puppet lord of Goryeo, is now a prisoner of my ranks; The king of Mengyuan has already become a yellow flower of tomorrow. Naha has 100,000 Mongolian tribes in the north, three battles and three defeats, and the end of the world is close at hand, and he can't take the next step in the south. Although our army has been fighting for a long time, its morale has never been higher. This is the second one.

"The Art of War: One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. I've never heard of it when it's time to puff up, and I'm striding back. The minister is not talented, Fu Wei asks the lord to make a clear decision. ”

The person who spoke was about forty years old, with a white face and a thick beard, and a handsome appearance, his original name was Yang Chu, and he recently changed a name, taking the meaning of "Tianxingjian, a gentleman with unremitting self-improvement", called Yang Xingjian, and the word self-improvement. He was originally a native of the Han Dynasty in Liaodong, cultivated and studied heirlooms, and was a new talent of Deng She, and is currently the inspector of the provincial inspection school.

"Lord Yang's words are ridiculous!"

Before his words fell, he opposed the side that supported Shangdu, that is, someone immediately retorted loudly: "At the end of the strong crossbow, the arrow cannot pierce Lu Min." Our Pyongyang is thousands of miles away from Xinghe, and it is also thousands of miles away from Shangdu. Lord Yang is a well-versed person, and he has the name of a talent, haven't you read "Hanshu • The Biography of Han Anguo"?

"'Today, it is difficult to lift the armor lightly and drive deep into the long drive.'

"Most of the cities along the Xinghe Supreme Capital are occupied by Tartars, and if our army advances vertically, it will be attacked or attacked from the waist; If several channels are out horizontally, there is a worry of being isolated or plagiarized. If the disease is short, the food will be scarce, and the people and horses will go too fast, and the grain and grass will definitely not be able to keep up. Xu Ze is profitable, and if the people and horses go too slowly, they will lose their fighters. Not thousands of miles, people and horses lack food.

"The Art of War: The Dead Are Captured. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not obey Han Anguo's words, so there was the defeat of Mayi. Therefore, the minister said that he should not be helped. ”

The name of this person is Liu Shize, and he is also Deng She's newly acquired Liaodong scholar, and he is a brother with the "Lord Liu" who is suitable for talent. "Lord Liu" is named Liu Shimin, both of them are from Gaizhou, and they are very famous in the local area, known as "Liaozuo Diling, Dumei Erliu". Liu Shize is the younger brother and is currently the supervisor of the provincial cabinet treasury. Liu Shimin is a brother, and like Yang Xingjian, he also serves as an inspector in the school inspection office.

The second half of Liu Shize's objections are all quoted from "Hanshu • Han Anguo's Biography". The meaning of "the bereaved people are captured" means that they take the initiative to send soldiers to the enemy to capture.

"This is a dead book. "Hanshu • Han Anguo Biography" is about the relationship between the Han and the Xiongnu. At that time, too, the Hun cavalry had the upper hand. Despite this, if it weren't for the capture of a pavilion lieutenant of the Han army who confessed to the Xiongnu the overall ambush plan of the Han army, which led to the failure of the Han army's ambush at Mayi, it would have been difficult for the Xiongnu to escape.

"Besides, one time, another. Today's situation is very different from the other, and it is completely different from the situation at that time. Our army has traveled thousands of miles, why not Polo Timur? The horses of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu are the mainstay, and the Han is the guest army. Today, Cheng Sizhong is the main capital, and our army and Polo Timur are both guest troops. This is one of them.

"Polo Timur has cities occupied by the Tartars along the line to echo, and our army also has the cities of Huihe and Wuping as backup. If there is an unforeseen military situation, the garrisons of Huihe, Wuping, and even Liaodong can respond at any time. How can there be a risk of being hit by the waist and being isolated and plagiarized? This is also the second.

"Now, Shijiabao has retreated, Naha has also been defeated, with Liaoyang as the support, with Guangning as a transit, my Liaozuo, Haidong's grain reserves, all the way unimpeded, and can be transported to the front line at any time. In addition, Wuping also has a lot of grain stocks. How can there be the worry of 'lack of food due to illness'? This is also the third.

"There are more than 10,000 men and horses of Cheng Sizhong, and Polo Timur is running for a long time, and it will be difficult to win quickly. The longer Cheng Sizhong holds on to the city, the more our army will benefit. Where does the saying of 'Xu Zehouli' come from? I really don't know why Lord Liu said this! Fourth, too.

"The Art of War: Where to fight, wisdom also. Fight, brave also. Now that we are the great enemy, we should do our best to move forward bravely. Lord Liu didn't think about the strength of the humerus, but retreated without a fight. I don't know what to do. Fu Wei asked the Lord to make a clear decision. ”

Liu Shize paused and said: "Although the minister is a scholar, he can also carry a three-foot sword for the lord and kill the enemy in front of the battle." The courage of this horseman is also. The ministers were not despicable to the lords, and they were promoted between the acres of land and the provincial court. Receiving the king's fortune and bathing in the king's grace, how dare you not be loyal and do your best? Soldiers, murder weapons, and moving are places of life and death, and they must not be overlooked. Seeking the country should be achieved with old age, how can the three armies be put in danger because of the courage of the moment?

"Express your opinions directly, and do not avoid the anger of the king. The courage of this minister is also.

"The minister hears that the art of war is cloudy: those who seek profit for a hundred miles will be the general. What about Chiriya? Before the war in South Goryeo ended, the elite was transferred north. The minister also heard that the art of war cloud: the strong first, the tired last, and the eleventh of its law came. The strong men will arrive first, and the weak will lag behind, and only a tenth of the troops will be able to reach out. ”

Liu Shimin also came out and knelt down. The two brothers bowed their heads.

In fact, there are not only a few of them who hold both positive and negative opinions. The officials of the Privy Council argued more enthusiastically, but most of them were coarse people, and they couldn't say similar criticism,—— Yang Xingjian's words "I don't know what to do" were very lethal. Therefore, it seems that it is not as noisy as the civil officials.

Deng She opened his eyes, got down from the soft couch, and helped the Liu brothers with his own hands.

He laughed, "You both have their own points. Why bother? 'Old Cheng seeks the country', as it should be. Lord Yang 'drums forward', and I think so. He turned to look at Yao Haogu and Hong Jixun, the two of them had not participated in the discussion and remained silent. He asked: "What is the opinion of the two gentlemen on whether to 'become a country and seek the country' or 'to move forward bravely'?" ”

Yao Haogu Su hand, please Hong Jixun speak first.

"Lord Yang, the two Lord Liu, including the princes, are very reasonable. But the most important point, you don't see. Hong Jixun opened the folding fan and shook it twice. He was dressed in white, waved his hand at Deng She, and pleaded: "The ministers ask the lord, show the map of Liaodong, and watch it with the ministers." ”

Dunshe clapped his hands, and the guards took the map and hung it on the wall.

Hong Jixun snapped, closed the folding fan, and approached the front of the picture. He lifted the handle of the fan, pointed to the country, and said eloquently: "The lord, please see, please see the princes." This is Shangdu, this is Xinghe, this is Liaoyang, this is Huihe, Wuping, the westernmost part of our province. May I ask you, how far is Shangdu from Huihe? ”

"Less than five hundred miles."

"I would like to ask you again, Polo Timur will rise and rise in a few days. If he comes from above, how many days will it take? ”

This question is easy to answer, there are ready-made examples of Lei Timur not spent. From Shangdu to Liaoyang, Lei Timur walked for a total of more than ten days, which was the result of his long detour in order to avoid the cities garrisoned by the Yuan army along the way. Someone replied, "In five or six days." ”

"I would like to ask you again. If our army does not come to the aid of Shangdu, can Cheng Sizhong hold it? ”

"I can't hold it."

"I would like to ask you again. If Polo Timur captured Shangdu and used it as a springboard to attack Huihe. Huihe has a family treasure in the south, and Polo Timur in the north, can it be kept? ”

"I can't hold it. ......, but our army can come to its aid from Quang Ninh, Liaoyang and other places. ”

"Yes, yes. Of course, our army can send reinforcements from Quang Ninh, Liaoyang and other places. As Lord Liu said, with the prosperity of Polo Timur's army, the abundance of grain and grass, the strength of the soldiers, and the courage of the generals. What are the chances of our army fighting against it? ”

"Five-five."

"Yes, yes. It was we who drove the wolf of Naha out of the north in the east of the sea, and ushered in the tiger of Polo Timur in the west. Since then, the Western Front has been restless and the war has not stopped. It is a great situation that only has been achieved by the great hardships of our Haidong, and if we do not have time to recuperate, we will surely fall into continuous war again. Now, although the Naha in the north is defeated, it still exists, and as Lord Liu said, the southern Goryeo in the south has not yet been completely pacified. Will they be tempted to do so? If so, what will be done? ”

"On the Western Front, I can engage in war and defend the border. To the north, I can take advantage of the situation and rush forward to completely destroy Nahachu. In the south, I can hold King Li hostage, so that the place can be stabilized. When Naha is destroyed, South Goryeo will be determined, and then the power of Liao and Haidong will be swept up to find Polo Timur for a decisive battle. ”

Hong Jixun was noncommittal, and said: "I will ask you again, if you destroy Nahachu in the north, my Liaodong will directly face the Mongol tribes in the south and north of the desert." The Mongols, who are not of my race, regard me as an enemy, will the war in the north stop because we have eliminated the Nahachu in Haidong?

"There is no more fighting in the west, and there is such a strong enemy eyeing the side and peeking to one side. How can I, Haidong, have the spare strength and energy to 'slowly and steadily' South Goryeo? ”

"This ,......"

Hong Jixun smiled, turned to Deng She, and said: "In the opinion of the minister, save Shangdu, that is, protect Liaodong." Abandoning Shangdu, that is, abandoning Liaodong. As for those who are worried, they are nothing more than a long way to go, food and grass, and fatigue. Lord Yang said that Huihe and Wuping could be used as backups, thinking that they would respond. He also said that Guangning could be used as a transit to transport the grain reserves of Liaozuo. I wonder what the lord thinks? ”

"What do you think, sir?"

The minister disagreed. Grain and straw are transported, and there is a lot of waste if the road is long. Thousands of miles of burdens, the rate of more than ten minutes to a stone. Five hundred miles are halved, and one stone of grain is transported, and the waste of the road and the consumption of the people will be at least dozens of times this. Polo Timur personally raised a large army and attacked Shangdu, and our army had to go to the rescue, and it had to be 30,000 people.

"How much do you need for 30,000 people's military rations? Most of the harvest of our Haidong last year had already been used in the war in South Goryeo, and the remaining grain and grass was really difficult to sustain the expedition of tens of thousands of people. Don't talk about the fatigue of the soldiers, just say this one, it's not feasible. Therefore, the minister did not think so. ”

He pointed out the importance of the rescue capital, but did not support the sending of troops. It's a bit paradoxical.

Deng She was about to continue the question. Outside the hall, Bi Qianniu came in and told Lei Timur that he had come to see him again. Deng She said: "What a hurry. He waved his hand and motioned not to let him in yet.

The military discussion has not yet reached a conclusion, and it will not help to let him in. Bi Qianniu was about to go out, but Deng She called him back again, muttered for a moment, and said, "Tell him that I am discussing the military situation." Please be calm and wait a little longer. I'll get back to him later. ”

Bi Qianniu came out of the order.

"The gentleman said war, but did not support the aid. What does that mean? Please be clear. ”
