Chapter 41: The Momentum of Xiangfan

The land of Xiangfan, since ancient times is the military resort, known as the "waist of the world", among the Three Kingdoms, Liu Xuande is from then on, it shows that this place is really important, through the north and south, the Central Plains in the north, the Bashu in the west, the Huguang in the south, and the Jianghuai in the east, it is said that it is the hub of the world, the place where the soldiers must fight, it is not an exaggeration.

Since ancient times, the north and the south have fought each other, and Xiangfan has been the first to receive its soldiers. At this time, Xiangfan is also the last barrier of the Southern Song Dynasty, if Xiangfan falls, the Great Song Dynasty border defense will be completely cut off, Jianghan thousands of miles, exposed to the Yuan army, the Mongolian army will be downstream.

Even if the Han family still has the unyielding and decisive spirit to die, they can no longer resist it.

At this time, the Xiangyang guard general Lu De and the deputy general Guo Jing led a total of 50,000 troops, and the Fancheng guard was Meng Gong, with 30,000 troops.

Lu De doesn't have any great talent, just a conscientious person and an official, but he can do his duty, and in the peaceful season, he may be able to be a state assassin, but in the troubled times, especially in this Xiangfan land, it is a little insufficient, so the appearance of the deputy general Guo Jing perfectly makes up for his shortcomings, and he is also relieved that the major affairs of the general are completely entrusted to Guo Jing.

Guo Jing was a Mongolian golden sword and horse in the past, commanding the army, naturally familiar with military affairs, good at the right way of soldiers, and his wife Huang Rong took the sword sideways, specializing in strange tricks, these two people are in harmony, and they can live in the world with their prestige and town, so they can hold Xiangyang City for more than ten years.

As for Meng Gong, the defender of Fancheng who was close to Xiangyang City, he was also one of the only remaining famous generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, known as the first person in the world who could defend and block, and the people of the time compared it with Cao Ren in the Three Kingdoms period, or it can be seen that this person's ability is extraordinary. It is indeed a rare general.

However, the opponent of the Southern Song Dynasty, Meng Yuan, has already sat big, which is an indisputable fact.

The Mongol army was in full swing. It is beyond people's imagination, first there were 200,000 cavalry Chen soldiers outside Xiangfan, and then Meng Yuan Emperor Meng Ge ordered again, and 100,000 new conscripts were transferred from all over the country, so that Meng Yuan had a terrifying number of 300,000.

300,000 means that everyone is invested in the Han River. It can also be called the Han River!

Compared with the Southern Song Dynasty, there is no doubt that this is already an overwhelming victory, one person for another's life. The Southern Song Dynasty, which could also be killed, was defeated and destroyed, not to mention that among the 300,000 troops, at least 200,000 were people who could fight well and control the strings.

But a battle of this magnitude with an army of hundreds of thousands is a thousand years before and after. That's also very rare. It is already a dispute over the destruction of the country and the extinction of the people.

Su's mission to stay in this world is still the enemy of the grassland back then, and he had no intention of going to Xiangyang City to wade into this troubled water, but an incident in the letter from the smiling people changed his mind: the Southern Song Dynasty court thought that Xiangfan was solid and did not need to worry, until the two city guards ~ sent thirteen fast horses for help, and only realized the seriousness of the matter. A total of 100,000 troops were requisitioned and transferred to the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the good and the bad were mixed. But he finally gathered in Xiangyang City before the siege and held the last line, so that the Mengyuan army did not dare to move lightly.

At this time, the nominal supreme commander of Xiangyang City, Jia Rudao, had a total of more than 100,000 Song troops, and he became the generalissimo of the Southern Song Dynasty, or similar to Yue Wumu back then.

This guy is proud, sitting in Xiangyang City all day long and setting up a banquet with his beloved concubine~ playing, all the big and small things are entrusted to Lu De, but there is a small merit, even if the book is exaggerated, and it is submitted to the official family, if there is a small mistake, immediately push the pot, severely criticize the generals under Lu De, and make the generals of the righteous army gathered under Guo Jing miserable and complaining.

Who is this duke, Su Liu always remembers some, this life is the most fun, very suitable for the temperament of the official family (Emperor Song is called the official family), followed by state affairs, and he also led troops to fight to the death with Meng Yuan in his life, but he was timid in the face of the enemy, and he knew that he was not an opponent, so he privately cut the land to pay compensation and negotiate peace, and after the peace negotiation, the wonderful turning point came, Jia Rudao led the troops to pursue, beheaded one hundred and seventy people, and led it to a monstrous achievement, reported to the court, and sang and danced.

It's really a big joke, 170 people, that is, hundreds of thousands of people in the Mongolian army who refused to die because of water and soil, and more than that.

At present, more than 100,000 people in Xiangfan are also the last family of the Southern Song Dynasty, as long as they lose this time, it is equivalent to giving up half of the country, and the dragon spirit of the Southern Song Dynasty has been completely cut off since then, and the world has returned to the Yuan.

When Su Liu received this secret letter from Chang Yanxiao, he suddenly received a hidden mission from Bai Yujing, describing it as: The Secret of Dragon Qi.

The imperial power of the two countries, the power of your hands, the wonder of the dragon's energy, can be known.

Breaking down the literal meaning is to ask Su Liu to emulate Cao Cao, and even do more than Cao Cao, to be the **** of those two countries, and to steal dragon qi!

Although I don't know what the dragon qi is, when it comes to hidden missions, the rewards are definitely not bad. Su Liu's mind turned, weighing the pros and cons, thinking that there was nothing he couldn't do, and he resolutely ordered, he rode into Xiangyang alone, and Minggui directly led the elite of the heavenly machine to sneak into Lin'an City, waiting for his next order.

The wind and clouds are changing, the dragon and snake are on the land, and at this time it can be regarded as a troubled time, and the troubled times are the big owls.

In the city of Xiangyang, there is tension.

In the city lord's mansion, it was singing and dancing.

The generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, Jia Rudao, sat on the main seat, laughed proudly and swallowed the wine in the mouth of the beautiful concubine into his throat, and shouted refreshingly.

He did not arrange the defense of Xiangfan City, nor did he take care of the military planes piled up on the case.

The wine and meat ~ fragrant nose is endless, and there are dozens of women in the green building dancing.

Deputy Marshal Xia Gui is also a sycophant, and Jia Yidao is the same kind of goods, sitting in the lower position, sighed, and said: "Alas, this place is really boring and tight, if it weren't for the official family asking for it several times, why would Jia Xiang be condescending to the noble, come to this place where birds don't pull ~?"

Jia Rudao waved his hand and said: "This is too much, the second is too much, we eat the king's Lu, naturally it is a matter of loyalty to the king, do your best, and then die, a certain has always admired the Marquis of Wu back then, and now there is an opportunity, and he is about to follow suit." ”

Hearing that Jia seemed to compare himself to Zhuge , Xia Gui immediately put on a look of admiration, raised his glass and said: "It is worthy of Jia Xiang, who can command an army of 200,000 like an arm, Han Xin once said that Han Xin's generals, the more the merrier, could it be that Jia is handsome?"

Jia Rudao was used in his heart, secretly refreshed, laughed, and said: "Brother Xia is good at reading history books, knowledgeable, yes, they all say that the Mongolian Tatars are strong, but my Great Song Dynasty is to fight with the Tao ~ Kill the no way, these rebel barbarians are in front of the master of the king, how can they be a blow?" ”

Several people formed their own party, and when they talked about one place, they clearly did not take the Mongol army in their eyes, and they all drank and laughed. (To be continued.) )
