Chapter 137: Bahan
Lizhou West Road, Chuzhou City, Lizhou West Road pacify the Yamen.
In the lobby, Guo Zhengsun sat on a chair and stroked his beard in contemplation. On the chair on the right in the hall, Gao Jia, the governor of Chuzhou, Cao Youwen, the commander of Lizhou West Road, and Wang Jian, the commander of Lizhou West Road, sat upright. The faces of the generals of the Song army were gloomy, and many of them were full of anger in their eyes.
For some time, the scouts kept coming military reports, and the Tatar army appeared on the border from time to time, and it was probably impossible to enter the Song land.
The Lizhou West Road Pacification Division and the Lizhou West Road Rong Division have ordered all the armies in the states under the road to clear the walls and fields in order to prepare for the war that may be coming. Unexpectedly, before the war began, the envoys of the Mongol army arrived first.
On the table in front of Guo Zhengsun, there were two rectangular gold medals, and the gold medals had the words "Great Mongolia" on them. On the chair on the left below, there are two Mongolian envoys dressed in armor, bald and drooping, and covered with weather, they sit down with a golden sword, their expressions are arrogant, and they are full of anger.
"Song Guan, my Great Mongolian Khan asked the two of us to come and ask you to make peace with the Great Song Dynasty, do you agree?"
The Mongol envoy spoke impatiently, and his attitude was as arrogant as ever.
"Your envoy, my Great Song Dynasty and your country have always been on good terms, how can you talk about peace?"
Guo Zhengsun thought for a moment and replied softly.
The Mongols regarded worship as "peace", and Genghis Khan sent an envoy at this time to ask for "peace", isn't this a show of force and make the Great Song Dynasty submit to the Great Mongolia?
It's a pity that the current Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is fierce and resolute, but he is not a good stubble pretending to be a grandson.
"Your Excellency, the Song and Mongolia are good friends, they are brothers, and they should support each other and share foreign enemies, instead of coercing and intimidating each other."
Gao Jia, the governor of Chuzhou, had a dark face and tried his best to control his anger.
These Mongol envoys were so arrogant, and they looked like the arrogance of the Celestial Empire, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Song Guan, listen well, my Great Mongolia is about to destroy Western Xia, and the next thing is the Jin Kingdom. If you don't know what to do, don't blame my Mongolian army for coming and slaughtering your small city outside the pass! ”
The stout Mongolian envoy spoke, with a fierce momentum, as if he didn't take Guo Zhengsun and the others seriously.
"Fart! You repeat! ”
Wang Jian sneered, and when he got up, he was about to reprimand the other party angrily.
"General Wang, don't be impatient, this official has his own decision."
Guo Zhengsun and Yan Yuese stopped Wang Jian from getting angry and began to push Tai Chi.
"Two envoys, please go down and rest. This matter will be reported to my Emperor Song and give a reply to the two envoys. ”
Under the guise of the court's reply to the other party, it can be postponed for at least a month or two, so that the other party has to wait for a reply.
"Wait, wait, when? You southerners are in trouble, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, wait for your Song Dynasty emperor to reply, I don't know how long it will take? Give you a month to let Emperor Song come here and talk to us in person. Otherwise, slaughter your little city! ”
The Mongol envoy was not a fool either, he was straightforward and tough.
"What kind of bullshit are you? Is my Great Song Tianzi also what you want to see? Slaughter the city at every turn, you are a beast? ”
Wang Jian suddenly changed color and scolded sharply.
Guo Zhengsun, Gao Jia and the others in the hall watched coldly, and this time, they did not say anything to stop them.
"Nanren, don't be arrogant! When I go back and report to the Great Khan, when the army comes, don't ask me! ”
"The Xia people are brave, and they are all crying fathers and mothers who have been killed by us. You cowardly southerners, wash your necks and wait to be cut off! ”
The two Mongolian envoys also slapped the table one after another and glared at each other.
This is their usual trick, coercion, intimidation, and even deception, and they also have this capital.
"Okay, good, don't talk! The two envoys, I would like to ask, have you destroyed the Xia Kingdom? ”
Wang Jian was unceremonious and asked directly.
Cao Youwan and Yu Jue are both in Western Xia, and if Western Xia is destroyed, there should have been news coming.
"General Song, what do you mean by this? The Xia people surrendered, but only for a few days. Don't you know? ”
The stout Mongolian envoy's face darkened, and he said angrily.
"It turns out that you haven't destroyed the Great Xia Kingdom yet, so who are you scaring here? If you want to use troops against my Great Song Dynasty, let's wait until you destroy the Great Xia Kingdom! ”
Wang Jian sneered and resolutely ordered the expulsion.
"Honorable envoy, we still have something to do, so we won't leave you to eat. We will not send it far. ”
Xixia is still here, Yu Jue and Cao Youwan are most likely safe and sound, and he is in a good mood. After relaxing, he spoke a little politely unconsciously.
Don't look at Cao Youwen quietly, his concern for his brother in his heart must be stronger than others.
Western Xia turned out to be unharmed. Cao Youwen's heart finally calmed down.
"You Nanban, what a bastard!"
Wang Jian was strong and mighty, and the short and stout Mongolian envoy could only be indignant.
If he goes head-to-head, he is really not Wang Jian's opponent.
"Honorable envoy, go back and tell you that the Great Khan, the Song and Mongolia have nothing to do with each other, but they don't get along with each other. Remember, too, that if no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. Those who offend my Chinese will be punished even if they are far away! ”
Cao Youwen stopped Wang Jian, who was about to move and had changed his face, and spoke aloud.
Guo Zhengsun and Gao Jia looked at each other, both awe-inspiring.
These arrogant soldiers and fierce generals did not even greet them, and they were not polite to the Mongolian envoys. If you are too reckless, what if you start a war?
"China, fled to the south of Huaishui, what kind of China is it? Let's go for it! ”
The tall and thin Mongolian envoy seemed to be a man of color eyes, and he was quite fluent in Chinese, and he went back directly.
Wen Zou Zou's southerners, are they real men?
"Avoided to the south of the Yangtze River, it is also Chinese orthodoxy. What we Han people have lost, we will take it back, and we don't need to worry about it. Your envoy has nothing to do, so let's go back. Don't stay in my Song realm for a long time, otherwise don't blame me for being inconsiderate. ”
Cao You replied in a cold voice, and unconsciously his voice rose up.
The humiliation and anger in his heart were also stimulated.
Song Ting himself is not angry, no wonder he should be looked down upon by these barbarians.
"Song Guan, we're done talking, you guys are doing it yourself! In a few days, our army will send another envoy, and you better not let us down! ”
After the stout Mongol envoy finished speaking, he and his companions stood up, turned and strode away.
The words have been brought, and there seems to be no need to stay.
"These arrogant guys, what a big breath! It's really unbelievable! ”
Wang Jian sneered and said something stupid.
When two countries are at war, they do not kill the messengers, let alone two who come to deliver the message.
"I'm a little curious, where did these Tatar emissaries enter the country? Why didn't the border army come to report? ”
Cao Youwen frowned and pondered, his eyes were very dissatisfied.
The Mongolian envoys came uninvited, but there was no border army to report, and the soldiers and scouts in the three passes and five states were all eating dry rice?
Where did these two Mongolian envoys enter the Song Realm?
At this time, he believed Zhao Hong's prediction and secretly admired it.
As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he was laid out in the northwest border, which can be described as far-sighted and vicious.
"General Cao, the Tatars are worshiping for peace, this is giving me the power of the Great Song Dynasty, and asking us to surrender. You see, how should this matter be reported to the Department of Preparation and His Majesty? ”
Guo Zhengsun frowned and finished speaking, his eyes turned to Cao Youwen.
The emperor's new favorite, at a young age, is already a handsome border officer and a feudal official. These major military matters should still be discussed with him more.
"Guo Xianggong, the Tatar comers are not good, first report to the Department of Preparation, prepare for war in Sanguan and Five Prefectures, and then wait for the reply from the Division and the Imperial Court."
Cao Youwen's face was calm, and he said in a deep voice.
The Mongolian army is menacing, and I am afraid that it will not slip around and leave.
The emperor should have already left, and his brother Cao Youwan was still isolated in Western Xia and waiting for help.
"Immediately send the order down, let the whole army prepare for battle!"
Cao Youwen no longer hesitated and retracted his thoughts.
Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, serve the country loyally, and shroud the body of horse leather. The Mongolian army is so arrogant and domineering, sooner or later it will have to use troops against the Great Song Dynasty, and the emperor's arrangement is understandable.
"General, Xihe Prefecture and Chengzhou Fengzhou, why haven't there been any military information about the entry of the Mongolian army envoys?"
Guo Zhengsun was confused and asked.
Could it be that these two Mongolian envoys sneaked in from the border quietly?
Cao Youwen and Wang Jian glanced at each other, both of them were shocked, and no one wanted to think about the bad side.
"Wang Jian, quickly send scouts to investigate. Look at Sanguan and Wuzhou, what happened there? ”
There is nothing in the world for no reason, Cao You heard that he was worried, and immediately passed down the military order.
Wang Jian received the order, but before he left the hall, a sergeant from outside hurriedly came in, kneeling on the ground to report, sweating profusely and panicking.
"Mutual justice, all unified, big things are not good. The Tatar army broke through the city of Jiezhou, and now it is fighting fiercely with our army in Langao Town! ”
Guo Zhengsun was taken aback, and the gold medal he had just picked up fell on the table with a bang.
"Order...... State! ”
Gao Jia's black face changed color and stood up involuntarily.
The emperor said that there would be a battle between Song and Mongolia, but he didn't expect that the war had already begun.
Cao Youwen stood still in his seat, but his face had sunk.
"Order...... State? You mean Tatar...... The army broke through the Tiered State? ”
Guo Zhengsun asked in a trembling voice.
"Back to Xianggong, the Tatar army entered Jiezhou from the Moyunling Ridge through the Song-Fan border, and suddenly broke through the Jiezhou, and after the Tatar massacre, a fire ......"
The sergeant's words made Guo Zhengsun's face turn pale and he collapsed on the chair all of a sudden.
The loss of the state city and the slaughter of the people, how should such a great crime be?
Cao Youwen slowly stood up, his face was pale, and he slapped it heavily on the table, and the cups on the table were shaken.
"What a miscalculation!"
Cao Youwen's face was ugly, and he was very angry.
Didn't it be clear in "Tatar Strategy" that the Tatar cavalry was mobile, hard-working, and liked the big detour tactics the most, why did you forget it?
There are only 1,000 troops in Jiezhou, and they are caught off guard, where can they withstand the impact of the Mongolian cavalry.
"How many people are there in the Tatar army? Which part of our army fought against the Tatar army in Langao Town? How's the battle going? ”
Cao Youwen suppressed the throbbing in his heart and asked in a deep voice.
With the fall of Jiezhou, he has lost the opportunity. When the time comes to see the king, how will you face it?
