The east side roared and the west side rained, and the road was sunny but sunny. There was rain and rain across the street, even more so hundreds of miles away. Marshal Ah Shu greeted the rainy morning on an isolated island in the wilderness, while Commander Zheng Jie saw the blue clear sky in Jinan, a few hundred miles away.

"Start the siege!" Division Commander Zheng Jie slept well last night, and at this time he gave the order refreshed. The order was quickly transmitted to the troops, and the commanders and fighters began to build a high platform in the planned place with bags of dirt and straw on their shoulders.

This stylized siege method has been well proven, because the process is simple, and the commanders and fighters can fully understand the tactics and know where they are in the tactics. Most of the negative emotions of human beings come from ignorance, from feeling their own incompetence. With such a clear understanding and sufficient training, the troops are effective in execution and adaptable.

Before ten o'clock in the morning, the Mongol troops at the head of Jinan began to be fired by rifles from higher positions. At four o'clock in the afternoon, more than 10,000 Mongol troops were driven into the city from the head of the city by 30,000 Song troops. In the evening of the next day, the Mongol army was largely annihilated. On the afternoon of the third day, all the Mongol troops in the entire city of Jinan were purged, and all Mongol forces were captured.

At this point, the 30,000 Song troops suffered 113 wounded and 26 killed.

At this time, Marshal Ashu, who was hundreds of miles away, finally saw the sunlight slightly peeking out of the dense clouds, and even such a pale sun made the ground brighter. The rain finally stopped after three days.

In the distance, some of the previous heights have either disappeared or only a small top is exposed. Either there is no one at the top of those counts, or there are only a handful of people left. The marshal was not surprised by this, and there was no possibility of allowing a large number of people to survive at the same time in such difficult circumstances. Either some of them will follow this law and take the lead, or those who can't make up their minds will die in a daze.

The Mongols huddle together like the cold-fighting emperor penguins in Antarctica, and unlike three days ago, the organized Mongols will change positions after a certain amount of time like the emperor penguins, so that the cold ones outside can warm up inside. The only one who can always be protected in the middle is Marshal Ashu.

Of course, Marshal Ah Shu also felt a little uncomfortable, such as he was hungry at this time. This time the flood was when we crossed the river, and although we brought some dry food, we didn't have much. After three days of standing in the rain and wind, the heat was lost a lot, and the dry food was exhausted. And Marshal Ah Shu knew that if he couldn't leave some dry food for the most urgent time at this time, something would definitely happen. Therefore, the marshal endured hunger with dry food, and this feeling was even more unpleasant.

A few hundred miles away in Huaxian County, Kublai Khan received a report about the Ashu army. Hearing that the army was hit by a flood when he crossed the river, Kublai Khan's face became extremely ugly. It was his order to let the Ashu army cross the river, but the Great Khan never expected that the water of the Yellow River would be able to rush out for hundreds of miles. At this time, the water conservancy expert Guo Shoujing's words "After the Yellow River bursts, it can rush hundreds of miles to the Huai River" made Kublai Khan even more unhappy.

Although Marshal Boyan's voice was cold, he never let go of the afterthought. Without waiting for the Great Khan to get angry, he said, "Great Khan, return north." ”

"Why?" Kublai Khan said angrily.

Marshal Boyan continued to say coldly as if he didn't see Kublai Khan's anger: "The Song army must be raging in Shandong at this time, and our army has no way to help Shandong. ”

This slap in the face made Kublai Khan speechless. Ah Shu took away 40,000 troops, and now I don't know how many 40,000 troops are left. No matter how much is left, don't expect them to be of any use. With such a situation, the Song army will definitely wreak havoc in Shandong.

After being silent for a while, Kublai Khan asked blankly, "Why did it become like this?" ”

"I underestimated Zhao Jiaren." Marshal Boyan put forward his opinion. Many people admire Boyan Dashuai's ability to explain things clearly in just a few words, but many people who appreciate this ability are actually embarrassed to say that Boyan Dashuai is often a cold scene maker. Now, for example, after he made this incisive statement, the Mongol horde was enveloped in awkward silence.

After all, the Great Khan Kublai Khan was a Ming monarch, and he didn't get angry after listening to this explanation, his expression changed, and it seemed that he was probably thinking, summarizing, and reflecting. After a while, he asked, "Boyan, how do you think you can not underestimate Zhao Jiaren?" ”

Boyan replied, "I don't know, because I've been underestimating him as well. If I hadn't underestimated him, when I knew that Zhao Jiaren wanted to fill in the Yellow River, I should have thought that he would definitely be able to fill it. ”

This remark also continued to create a cold field effect, and no one other than Kublai Khan dared to answer, and no one among the ministers except for the commander of Boyan was qualified to answer.

Kublai Khan was amused by these words, and he said with a mocking emphasis: "If that's the case, then Zhao Jiaren wants to go to heaven, and he can also go to heaven?" As soon as he finished saying this, Kublai Khan himself remembered that Boyan had reported that Zhao Jiaren had used a huge Kong Ming lantern that could fly in the sky when he was aiding Xiangyang. After the surrender of the Lin'an Imperial Court, the Mongolian army captured this huge Kong Ming lantern in the palace of the Song Kingdom and sent it to the Mongolian side. Some of the captives said that by using the special fuel provided by Zhao Jiaren in the bronze utensils below, they could blow out the hot air that filled the entire huge Kong Ming lantern.

In other words, when Zhao Jiaren wants to go to heaven, he can do it.

"It seems that only by luring Zhao Jiaren into the trap we have set can we solve him!" Kublai Khan sighed.

Marshal Boyan continued to reply coldly: "If you can produce the same musket and artillery as the Song Kingdom, you should be able to defeat him as well." Great Khan, after this withdrawal, should take this as a priority. ”

Hearing this, Kublai Khan suddenly stood up and cursed. This fierce attitude and Mongolian dialect made the Hanchen panic, but the boss of Boyan still had a flat expression. He understood Mongolian, so he knew that Kublai Khan was scolding the captured Song craftsmen. In the eyes of Kublai Khan, who is also a native of the Song Kingdom, there is such a huge gap between his technology and Zhao Jiaren, which is simply a loss of the face of the craftsmen of the Song Kingdom, and it is simply a group of fraudsters who eat and drink together!

But when Kublai Khan finished scolding, he quickly put away his anger and said to everyone: "Send someone to see Zhao Jiaren now." Since he said he wanted to make peace with me, let's hear what he has to say! ”

The Mongol ministers in the Golden Horde were all stunned, they didn't expect Kublai Khan to soften so quickly. However, everyone did not raise any objections, and after seeing Zhao Jiaren's ability to fill the Yellow River, these people couldn't find any other way at this time.

There was a Song army camp north of the Yellow River, and the Mongol army did not encounter any problems in negotiations. The envoy soon brought Zhao Jiaren's request, "Take the Yellow River as the boundary." ”

"How do you count west?" Kublai Khan asked.

"It's all bounded by the Yellow River." The messenger bowed his head and prayed. He feared that the Great Khan would become angry and angry with his emissary. When the messenger heard this request, he also felt unacceptable.

Kublai Khan was not angry, and in Mongolian culture, the strong have a say. He thought for a moment and then ordered: "Go back and tell Zhao Jiaren that the Tiger Prison Pass is the boundary." ”

So the envoy went to the camp of the Song army with Kublai Khan's suggestion, and when the envoy left, Kublai Khan sighed: "At this time, I sent troops to save Luoyang, I don't know if it's too late?" ”

Without waiting for Boyan to speak, Zhang Hongfan said loudly: "Qi Great Khan, the minister is willing to lead troops to help Luoyang." ”

"Our army can no longer divide its forces." Boyan said.

Kublai Khan's heart was the war between heaven and man. For so many years, the Mongols have always concentrated their superior forces and used their mobile capabilities to rush and fight a war of annihilation. Create the splendor of the Mongol army. Now the Han army in Han land no longer has such combat effectiveness in the face of the Song army, and Kublai Khan will not let the Mongol army under his control be consumed in Han land under any circumstances. So what Boyan said was right.

But let Kublai Khan admit it now, he felt like a knife in his heart, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

At this time, a few hundred miles away from Kublai Khan's Great Khan, on an isolated island that could collapse and shrink to a radius of several battles, Marshal Ashu only felt that his heart was beating hard. His hand touched his chest lightly, and there were two pieces of dry food over there. Hunger allowed Marshal Ashu's sense of smell to smell that after three days of blistering and three days of suffocation, the dry food had already emitted a rancid smell.

Looking up at the water, at least on the isolated island where Marshal Ashu could see, some carnivorous birds had already begun to start a human feast with the human body lying on the isolated island as the material. And the rushing river is still turbulent and has not narrowed because the rain has stopped. Four guards had already gone into the water and were swallowed up by the river in everyone's view. Marshal Ashu knew that with his current physical strength, he probably wouldn't be better than those young guards.

At this moment, the guard at the highest point of the isolated island suddenly shouted in a hoarse voice: "Marshal! Marshal! There are boats, there are boats! ”

Marshal Ashu hurriedly stood up, and a ship appeared in the direction pointed by the guards. The ship had a number of sheepskin airbags strapped underneath the raft, which was considered a large sheepskin raft. The people on the boat are rowing hard, searching for isolated islands in the river.

At this time, Marshal Ashu no longer had to order, and the guards all stood up and shouted and waved, desperately trying to get the attention of the people on the sheepskin raft. The people on the sheepskin raft did not disappoint these people, and they also rowed this way.

The feeling of despair in Marshal Ashu's heart was finally dispelled, and he stood up and took a few steps forward, with the jumping guards on the shore. Then he felt his feet loosen, and he fell into the Yellow River along with the collapsed river bank and the guards.
