Chapter 465: Mobilization of Troops

Boyan only took the 20,000 troops from the capital to pass through the territory of Wenzhou Road last month, and it was here that he received the high-level documents from Fuzhou, but he didn't expect that now more than half a month has passed, but he has to return to Wenzhou Road, and what makes him even more depressed is that he didn't even see a single hair of the Song Army on this road.

"Pass the order down, pull out the camp and set off, and prepare to rush to Wenzhou." Although I am depressed in my heart, but things still have to be done, now most of the troops in Zhejiang Province are concentrated in the area of Lin'an Mansion, in case of another attack by the Song army, it is a little far away from Wenzhou Road, I am afraid it is too late to arrive, and if Lin'an Mansion is empty, then the Song Army will not take advantage of the situation and recover the Great Song Dynasty again, compared to Wenzhou, or Lin'an Mansion is of greater significance, so even if they get the news of the players from Wenzhou Road, I am afraid they will not dare to send troops easily, right?

"Marshal, if the Song army hits there, I'll chase it there, I'm afraid this is not a way?" Boyan's staff couldn't help but persuade him, from Fuzhou to Funing Prefecture, and then from Pingyang Prefecture to Wenzhou, he fought in several places in October, and the 20,000 troops under Boyan were already exhausted, and if this continued, they would be dragged down by the Song army sooner or later.

"I am responsible for leveling the Song Dynasty, if I hear that the Song army is attacking the city and ignore it, Your Majesty is afraid that it will not be reasonable." Boyan didn't know the drawbacks of this, but since he had taken on this task, many things were out of his own hands.

"Your Majesty's will is for you to lead the army to recover Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, but you didn't say that you want to resist the Song State Naval Division?" The staff is a scholar who surrendered from the Great Song Dynasty, and he is the best at this kind of word-picking kung fu, "If there are troops in Fuzhou City who have to go south with the army and have to relieve the siege, then Pingyang Prefecture and Wenzhou Road are the jurisdiction of Zhejiang Province, and they have nothing to do with your mission, even if they are breached, it is also the responsibility of Zhejiang Province, and now you have helped them relieve the siege of Pingyang Prefecture, which is already the best of love, so why bother to get entangled in the trouble of Wenzhou Road?" If you arrive at Wenzhou Road, and Song Guoshui Shi rushes north to Taizhou Road, what should you do? You can't lead your army north again, can you? If so, I'm afraid it won't be a few months before you're back in the capital. ”

Bo Yan, who asked a series of questions from the staff, was speechless, yes, they lacked a sailor and had no way to restrict the actions of the sailor of the Song Kingdom, so they could only be beaten passively, if they kept chasing like this, when would it be the end? After all, Ke Boyan was not one of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty who was accustomed to shirking responsibility, he thought for a while and said, "Having said that, I have already received the request for help from Wenzhou Road, and I can't ignore it, and it is not too late to go south after the siege of Wenzhou is resolved; Later, I will write a recital and send someone to Beijing to explain the relationship between China and ask His Majesty to send troops and horses to strictly guard the important coastal areas. ”

Hey, in the end, he is a barbarian on the grassland, he doesn't know the essence of being an official at all, and he is really far worse than Lord Ahma in the capital, and the staff sighed secretly in their hearts, feeling that they had voted for the wrong master, but since Boyan had already made a decision, he could only comply, and then went out to prepare to go north to Wenzhou Road.

As the staff said, when Boyan rushed to Wenzhou Road out of breath, the Song army had already retreated to the sea again, this time the Song army seemed to be angry with him, and the Boyan army who arrived in a hurry could even see the Song soldiers on the big ship with all kinds of provocative gestures to them, so angry that these Mongolian cavalry screamed, if the war horses could walk on the water, I am afraid they would rush directly over; These Mongol cavalry had always been good at using their mobility to drag down the enemy, and finally crush the exhausted enemy army, but today they were reduced to the side that was dragged down.

Boyan, who was depressed in his heart, didn't bother to pay attention to the officials on Wenzhou Road, so he stayed in the camp and ordered someone to write a piece of music and send it to the capital quickly, and after spending the night in Wenzhou, he ignored the leading army and went south, this time he said that he didn't plan to go north again.

The exhausted army slowly moved south, but Li You would not let them be too comfortable, just when Boyan had just entered the territory of Funing Prefecture, he received an urgent document again, and the Song State Navy Division surrounded Fuzhou City again and launched an attack.

If it comes to short-distance sprints, the fleet will definitely not be able to compete with the cavalry, but the long-distance march is different, not to mention that the land march is not a straight line, it is inevitable to go over mountains and mountains, turn around and detour, and the fleet can use the shortest route at sea to advance, so it is not strange that Li You returned to Fuzhou before Boyan.

If the news came from Wenzhou Road and Pingyang Prefecture again, she could not care, but Fuzhou City was playing with no room for loss, so Boyan had no choice but to speed up the march again with the soldiers who were full of complaints, of course, the same as last time, this time they still did not catch even a single Song soldier under Fuzhou City.

After this month of tossing, it became impossible to immediately attack Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, Boyan had to lead the troops to rest temporarily in Fuzhou, and then go south to Quanzhou after the soldiers and war horses recovered.

The envoys sent by Boyan traveled day and night, all the way to the capital, and sent his recital to Kublai Khan, who also had a big headache about this, the Mongols were good men on horses, but they were not good at water warfare, and now sailors and ships had to be re-recruited and manufactured, Ahmad and Fan Wenhu could not train a sailor at least until the next year, so how to deal with the attack from the sea became a headache for him.

"Your Majesty, now the only way to send troops from the north to the south to defend the important counties and counties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, according to Marshal Boyan's recital, the Song army does not dare to rashly attack the heavily defended cities, so as long as we are ready, then we can report the safety of the coastal states and counties." Chen Yan came out and said, "As long as you survive a year or two of hard work, when the sailor is completed, the sailor of the Song State will not have to worry, and then you can cross the sea and directly attack Liuqiu to force the other party to fight a decisive battle." ”

After some discussion, Chen Yan's proposal was approved by Kublai Khan, so the Yuan army in the north went south in batches from the jurisdiction of Zhongshu Province, and came to the important coastal states and counties in Jianghuai Province to garrison strictly. (To be continued.) )
