After the visit, Zhang Shijie explained to Ouyang Shuo the situation of the Mongolian army outside the city.

The more he listened, the darker Ouyang Shuo's face became.

"Gaia's going to do something!"

Historically, the main general of Meng Yuan's attack on the Southern Song Dynasty was Boyan, and the specific battle of Yashan was Zhang Hongfan. Speaking of Zhang Hongfan, this is also a rather controversial figure.

Zhang Hongfan's father, Zhang Rou, was a Han Chinese living in the Jin Kingdom, and he was also a local hero, who fought with the Mongol army in Langya Ridge, was defeated and captured, and surrendered to Mongolia.

Zhang Hongfan was born when Zhang Rou was forty-nine years old, and at that time the Jin State had been dead for four years, that is, Zhang Hongfan was a native of Han China who grew up under Mongol rule.

Based on such a life experience, it seems understandable that Zhang Hongfan is a general in Mengyuan. It's just that Zhang Hongfan was the chief general of the Mongolian army in the Battle of Yashan, and he was the culprit of the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In view of Zhang Hongfan's Han blood, he was naturally nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

Because of the division of Chinese civilization in the Battle of Yashan, Ouyang Shuo had no good impression of Zhang Hongfan, and if they met on the battlefield, he would definitely be cut off from the horse.

In the battle map, in addition to Boyan and Zhang Hongfan, the generals of the Mongolian army even came to Kublai Khan, the big boss of Mengyuan, which is completely different from history.

What kind of person was Kublai Khan? The last Khan of the Great Mongol State and the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. Speaking of which, we have to briefly mention the successive khans of the Great Mongolian State and the transition from the Great Mongolian State to the Yuan Dynasty.

After the death of Genghis Khan Temujin, he was succeeded to the throne by his third son, Ogedei, who was better at governing the country, and the fourth son, who was good at fighting, was in charge of more than eighty percent of the army of the Great Mongolia.

This arrangement of Temujin laid the groundwork for the future division of the Great Mongolian State. During the reign of Wokotai, in order to eliminate hidden dangers, he assassinated and killed the fourth brother Tuolei.

After the death of Ogedei, the eldest son Guiyou succeeded him to the throne of Khan. However, Gui was not angry, and hung up after three years of reign, and the eldest son of Tuolei, Meng Ge, took advantage of the situation and seized the position of Khan of the Wokotai family.

Since then, the khanate of the Great Mongolian State has been in the hands of the Tulei family until the fall of the Yuan Dynasty.

Known to Europeans as the "Whip of God", Möngke launched the Third Mongol Expedition to the West, expanding a territory larger than that of his grandfather, Genghis Khan.

However, Meng Ge's fate was also bad, and when he and his fourth brother Kublai Khan attacked the Southern Song Dynasty, he broke the Diaoyu City and died suddenly, which not only triggered a five-year battle for the throne between Kublai Khan and Ali Buge, but also forced the third Mongolian expedition to the west that was still in progress to be suspended.

At that time, the western expeditionary army led by Hülegü had already reached the Mediterranean Sea and was preparing to attack Egypt.

The whole of European history will also be very different.

Kublai Khan was able to become the ultimate victor in the battle for the throne, and a group of Han ministers under his command contributed a lot, precisely because of the influence of Confucian culture, which indirectly gave birth to the Yuan Dynasty.

This siege battle, led by Kublai Khan himself, is bound to be a bloody battle.

Counting the Southern Song Dynasty forbidden army, the total strength of the Southern Song Dynasty camp reached 460,000, but the Mongol army that attacked the city this time was as high as one million, not including some puppet troops and prisoners of war.

Naturally, such a large army could not all be stationed outside the city, with Lin'an City as the center, Mongolia set up front-line camps in the surrounding six cities to surround Lin'an City.

Except for Lin'an City, the whole world has been occupied by the Mongols, and there are enough food and grass materials to feed the army of millions. Lin'an City is more troublesome, according to Lu Xiufu's estimate, counting the Inhuman Legion, no matter how much you save, the food in the city is only enough to last for twenty days.

Twenty days away, you have to think of other ways.

There have been many "famous" siege battles in history, and the defending troops were able to hold out for months, often not because of how much food was stored in the city, but because of other sources of food.

What are they?

It may be sensational to say it.

In the case of a shortage of food in the city, the first thing to suffer is the war horse, and they can't rush out anyway, and the war horse has become the fruit of the soldiers defending the city.

When the horse finished eating, he leathered his armor.

That's right, it's leather armor, the soldiers cut the leather armor into pieces, put it in a pot and cook it, and barely eat it. Gain leather armor is made from animal skins, which is barely a food.

In addition to leather armor, belts, leather boots, and even bowstrings, all weapons and equipment made from organic tanning are converted into food.

Have you finished eating the leather armor? Then there is only cannibalism, first the old flesh and the sick and the disabled, and then the common people......

All in all, when the defending troops reached a desperate situation, there was nothing that could not be eaten, and all benevolence, morality, and humanity were all thrown aside.

In Chinese history, cannibalism is by no means uncommon.

Specific to the battle of Lin'an, Gaia is a little too tricky, on the surface, the task is set to defend for a month, but the food in the city can't support a month at all.

This is a paradox.

The only way is to take offense instead of defense, take the initiative to attack, and go out to find food and grass. In this way, the big war is even more difficult.

What made Ouyang Shuo even more troublesome was that the meaning of Lu Xiufu's words was faintly revealed that although the Inhuman Legion had an absolute advantage in terms of troops, they did not want to give up their command.

At the very least, the 100,000 forbidden troops of the Southern Song Dynasty were not subject to Ouyang Shuo's arbitrary deployment.

If Lu Xiufu and the three of them do not cooperate, Ouyang Shuo will also have a headache, of course he can learn from the Anshi Rebellion to have a "palace change" and take over the power of life and death in Lin'an.

If you do, it could get even worse.

The palace change works in Chang'an because there is not only Emperor Li Longji in Chang'an City, but also a prince Li Xiang, who is already pregnant with a ghost fetus, and more than a dozen princes to choose from.

But what does Lin'an have?

Except for the eight-year-old Zhao Yu, there is no one in the Zhao royal family.

Ouyang Shuo really wants to be the regent of the dynasty, and if he offends the three ministers of Lu Xiufu, he may not be able to do anything. At the most basic level, such things as pacifying the people, conscripting laborers, and raising food and grass could not have been done without the assistance of civil officials.

This is the battle map, Ouyang Shuo didn't bring civilian officials over, even if he really brought it, it was estimated that it would be in vain, what could he do in just one month, but the specific ones who did things were the low-level officials.

In short, without the cooperation of Lu Xiufu and the three of them, the battle of Lin'an would be basically useless.

Ouyang Shuo thought about it, but he could only pinch his nose and agree, as long as Lu Xiufu and the three of them didn't make any excessive demands, Ouyang Shuo did as much as he could.

Fortunately, everyone's interests are the same, and there is a basis for cooperation.

After testing each other, Lu Xiufu proposed to set up a temporary military aircraft department as the supreme command body of the Lin'an Battle to take over the military and political affairs of Lin'an City.

Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie and Wen Tianxiang are naturally members of the Military Aircraft Department, and Ouyang Shuo, as a representative of the aliens, was also able to enter the Military Aircraft Department. Otherwise, there would be no need for this military aircraft department to be established.

Seeing Ouyang Shuo so cooperative, Lu Xiufu naturally knew how to repay the favor and allowed another lord and two generals to enter the military aircraft department to discuss important matters.

Ouyang Shuo felt a little more comfortable at this time.

After thinking about it for a while, Ouyang Shuo circled the hero. Of course, Ouyang Shuo can pull the phoenix prisoner into the military aircraft department to increase his voice in the military aircraft department, but what is the point of that?

The battle of Lin'an was absolutely impossible without the participation of the [Yanhuang Alliance].

As for why he is a hero, instead of becoming the emperor of the [Yanhuang League] again, the reason is not complicated, it is just that Ouyang Shuo is not used to it.

One sees him as an enemy, the other takes the initiative to show favor, and it is not obvious who to choose.

The choice of generals made Ouyang Shuo think about it. Among the 100,000 troops in Great Xia, the royal fleet led by Zhou Yu was not in Lin'an City at all, and Lu Bu, the commander of the Third Legion of the Praetorian Guard, was not that material.

As for Xu Chu, the Wei general of Shenwuwei, he is of the same nature as Lu Bu.

However, Jia Xu, the strategist who accompanied the army this time, was a good candidate, and Ouyang Shuo brought Pang Tong with him in the Anshi Rebellion, which was to take care of Pang Tong. Speaking of which, when it comes to strategy in the army, Ouyang Shuo still prefers the "poisoner" Jia Xu.

However, Jia Xu is a strategist and cannot enter the military aircraft.

Ouyang Shuo could only settle for the second, first put Guo Ziyi, who came with the phoenix prisoner, into the military aircraft department, and the other military general was still reserved for the [Yanhuang League] and let them decide for themselves.

After sitting in the position of King Xia for a long time, Ouyang Shuo's mind has become more and more open-minded, and he will not deliberately embarrass the [Yanhuang League] when he does anything on what occasion.

If you really want to be embarrassed, it is also a real chapter in the wilderness battlefield, and there is no need to worry about it on the campaign map. If you really want to do that, not only will Di Chen and others look down on you, but it will also degrade yourself to a personality tone, which is not worth it.

After discussion, Ouyang Shuo said goodbye and left.

During the whole process, the little emperor Zhao Yu sat on the dragon chair without saying a word, and he was a puppet.

…………

Returning to the barracks from the palace, Ouyang Shuo immediately met with Xiongba and told Xiongba about the information he had found and the establishment of a temporary military aircraft office.

After hearing this, Xiongba's expression was greatly admired, and he hugged his fists and said: "Brother Ouyang's heart, Xiongba admires, don't worry, after coming down, I will definitely coordinate the alliance army and fully cooperate with the command of the Military Aircraft Department." ”

"Then there will be work!"

Ouyang Shuo smiled and clenched his fists.

Then, Xiongba took the initiative to talk about what they had learned.

During Ouyang Shuo's entry into the palace, Xiongba and the others were not waiting, they took people around Lin'an City to understand the situation, which was also not optimistic.

The most worrying thing is the instability of the people in the city.

Why?

There was a tradition in the Mongol army that was enough to scare the hearts of ordinary people. During the siege, the defenders only had to put up a slight resistance, and after the city was broken, the Mongol army would slaughter the city.

This is true whether it is a westward expedition or a southward march.

After the massacre, the Mongol army dumped the corpses into the waterways, and millions of them were thrown into the Yangtze River or its tributaries, and the corpses were thrown into wells, completely polluting the groundwater. The Mongols would also leave behind hundreds of civilians who witnessed the massacre and send them to the lower cities to spread terror.

Before the siege of Lin'an, the Mongol army had already slaughtered several cities.

In this way, are the people safe and afraid?

Ouyang Shuo thought for a while, and suddenly said: "To appease the people, I thought of a good way." ”
