Chapter 116: The Surrender of the Mansion City
It's June. After the Battle of Chengdu, the Mongol army did not rest and recuperate, but continued to attack the Song army in three ways.
The main force followed Pu Ze all the way and chased after him. The Song army that followed Pu Zezhi was his confidant and personal soldiers, and he did not abandon the chief officer and fled.
And Pu Zhizhi has eased up at this time after the initial panic, and his direct troops have not collapsed because of defeat.
On the way to flee to Chongqing Mansion with the remnants of his army, he continued to collect and retreat from the rout, although he was still defeated repeatedly and lost the city and lost the land all the way, but after all, the whole army was not destroyed, and it also attracted most of the army under Niu Lu.
There was also a main force of the Mongol army that pursued the Song army that fled to Genting City, cut off its way before the rout army entered the city, and surrounded Genting City.
To say that Genting City has many strong soldiers and excellent equipment, and after more than ten years of painstaking management by Yao Shi'an, it is like a strong city with iron beatings, but the Achilles' heel is the lack of food and grass due to the large number of soldiers and horses.
Pu Zezhi once requisitioned soldiers and horses in Genting City and promised to give grain and grass, but Yao Shi'an only sent a small number of troops for his own selfishness.
He originally wanted to boil it for a while, and he couldn't afford to lose his strength for food. It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and after the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Chengdu, the Mongolian army quickly surrounded Genting City.
The soldiers of Genting City could only watch the summer grain outside the city being harvested by the Mongols and had no choice but to do anything. The location of this Genting City is extremely important, and the Mongol army must take it if it wants to gain a firm foothold in western Sichuan, so the offensive is more urgent.
After the Battle of Chengdu, the morale of the army fluctuated, and what was even worse was that the city ran out of food shortly after being besieged, which made the combat effectiveness and morale of the defenders plummet.
When the New Commanders captured the Naval Wharf and captured a section of the wall, Yao Shi'an's nephew Yao De killed Yao Shi'an and surrendered to the Mongol army in exchange for the lives of the Yao clansmen.
It's a pity that Yao Shi'an Xiaoxiong I actually ended up like this. After Yao De surrendered, he acted as the vanguard of the Mongolian army, leading the Mongolian army to attack nearby prefectures and counties.
Under his persuasion, not only Pengzhou, Hanzhou, Huai'anjun, Mianzhou and other Xichuan prefectures around Chengdu surrendered one after another, but even Weizhou, Maozhou and other Tibetan prefectures were also attached to the Mongols, and the official offices of Chengdu Fulu were also moved to Jiading Mansion.
Compared with the main Mongolian army that attacked the Song army in the first two routes, there is another road that is a partial division of the Mongolian army. The purpose of this detachment was to conquer the prefectures and counties around Chengdu in order to establish long-term rule over the western Sichuan Plain.
The Mongolian army was divided into many branches, mostly in the scale of 100-man cavalry, and attacked the fortress if it could be attacked, and took a detour that could not be attacked, plundering in its countryside.
The Song army was in the county seat of the state capital in western Sichuan, and the defenders plus the people were few hundred, and the most were even more than 1,000 people, although the combat power was low, but the defense of the city was more than enough.
According to common sense, no matter how strong the Mongolian army is, it is difficult to capture the dock fort with 100 cavalry, let alone capture the county and county towns, but it was done by Niu Xuan's men.
The defenders of the Song army pointed out by the Mongol soldiers either abandoned the city and fled, or surrendered without a fight under the appeasement, or even took the initiative to surrender.
In just one month, except for a very small number of areas under the rule of the Thunderbolt Army, such as Xinjin City and Hengyuan Town, the entire western Sichuan, including Chongqing Mansion, fell under the iron cavalry of the Mongolian army.
The only anti-Mongolian force in the entire western Sichuan Plain was the Thunderbolt Army. It was expected that the uncles and nephews of the Pan family would dedicate Chongqing Mansion to the Mongols in order to preserve the original glory and wealth, but it was not expected that it was Pan Luohuan who led the surrender of the city, not Pan's rule.
Because Pan Tongzhi had died in the chaos during the Battle of Chengdu. The position given to Pan Luohuan by the Mongols was the order of Jinyuan County, not the position of the prefect of Chongqing, which he had in mind.
It is said that when he got the news that Pan Tongzhi died in the chaos, Pan Luohuan did not feel any sadness, but secretly rejoiced in his heart - he finally came out.
However, he was not happy for long, because he did not get his wish when he sent people to negotiate the terms of surrender with the Mongols.
To say that the Mongols are not stupid, they did not agree to Pan Luohuan's condition of being the prefect of Chongqing Prefecture.
The Mongols knew that after the death of Pan Tong, Pan Luohuan could not control the subordinate counties at all. Now among the four counties of Chongqing Mansion, Yongkang City has long been ruined, Jiang Yuan and Xinjin City to Pan Luohuan's orders are to listen to the tune and not to listen to the announcement, he can only control the Jinyuan County where the capital is located, but he can control the population is only a few thousand, and the number of troops is only a few hundred.
When it was learned that Pan Luohuan was negotiating with the Mongols, Xinjin City directly announced its separation from the governance of Chongqing Prefecture, and most of the defenders of Fucheng also mutinied under the instigation of Le Quanan and others, and took all their warships to the Perak Army Water Barracks.
This made Pan Luohuan lose his bargaining chips, and he could only accept the position of Jinyuan County Order unwillingly while scolding.
Pan Luohuan naively thought that he could continue to live a life of prestige after defecting to the Mongols. It's just that as soon as the Mongolian army entered the city, he found that he was wrong, and he was ridiculously wrong.
The Mongols revered force and reasoned only with their fists, and in their opinion the loser did not deserve respect at all.
The conquered Han people were nothing more than slaves who could be killed and taken alive, and they were just tools that could speak, and the Han people were just slave leaders.
To say that Pan Luohuan is also a person who sees the wind and steers the rudder, whether the Mongolian captain of the 100 people stationed in the capital city is arrogant and unreasonable, wanton insults, or shouting, he can accept it.
Although he is crazy and stupid, he also understands the truth that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. The only thing he couldn't bear was that as soon as the Mongols entered the city, they occupied all the women in the city, and the best appearance was naturally taken into the pocket by the Mongolian captain of the hundreds, including Pan Luohuan's good little cuihua.
This little Cuihua was originally the concubine of the silk merchant in the city, and after Pan Luohuan entered the main city, he starved the silk merchant to death in prison on the charge of tax evasion, and seized his family wealth and Cuihua together.
After the Mongolian captain of the 100 took away the cuihua, Pan Luohuan was so angry that his eyes were on fire, but he had no choice but to continue to be the turtle grandson of the Mongolians.
Although he is a county commander, he only has more than 100 old and weak soldiers under his command. In order to prevent the Han people in the city from resisting, the Mongols deliberately withheld food, and Pan Luohuan's men were so hungry that they couldn't even hold weapons, where could they resist the Mongols?
Pan Luohuan really can't stand the days without women. He often took advantage of the fact that the captain of the Mongolian army of 100 went out of the city to plunder or get drunk, and secretly had a tryst with Xiao Cuihua.
This little Cuihua was also ravaged by the Mongolian captain of the hundreds, and every time she cried and begged Pan Luohuan to take her away and fly away from the sea of suffering.
It's just that Pan Luohuan promised before begging for joy, and ignored it after the incident, obviously a ruthless scumbag.
Xiao Cuihua was first full of anticipation, then discouraged, and then hateful, so she simply told the Mongolian captain of the hundred people about the fornication between the two, and cried that it was Pan Luohuan who coerced.
After hearing this, the Mongolian captain of 100 people was brutal, and he drew his sword and searched for Pan Luohuan all over the city. Pan Luohuan was shocked when he learned the news from his cronies, stole a horse and fled.
At present, there is no place for him in Chongqing Mansion, and the Thunderbolt Army does not want to see him, and he is ready to flee to Jiading Mansion to join Yu Xing's son Yu Dazhong.
After Yu Xing sent people to recover Qiongzhou, he ordered Yu Dazhong to take charge of Qiongzhou. Because the two state capitals are adjacent to each other, they have a lot of business interactions with each other, and the two are of the same age and are both gentlemen, so the smell is very similar.
After the defeat in the Battle of Chengdu, before the Mongol army invaded Qiongzhou, Yu Dazhong abandoned the city and fled to Jiading Mansion by boat.
When passing through Xinjin City, he sent a clipper to invite Pan Luohuan to go with him. This Pan Luohuan knew that when he arrived in Jiading Mansion, his subordinate property would inevitably be taken away by the greedy Yu Xing father and son, and if he lost the foundation of Chongqing Mansion City, he would have no capital.
Therefore, he shirked Yu Dazhong's ill-intentioned invitation, and instead stayed to negotiate with the Mongols, trying to become the emperor of the land.
