Xingyuan Mansion, Xingyuan Rong Division Yamen.

In the lobby, the ministers and generals gathered together, the lowest official positions were all commanders and transport envoys all the way, with different expressions.

In recent days, there have been continuous Gemdale soldiers and civilians fleeing south and entering the territory of Xingyuan Mansion one after another. From their mouths, it was learned that the Mongol army was assembled in Fengxiang Mansion, and the rangers continued to explore the south and attack the Song Dynasty in the south, which seemed to be in front of them.

"Your Majesty, 50,000 Tatar cavalry, 20,000 Han troops, a total of 70,000 troops are assembled in Fengxiang Mansion, the commanders are Torrey and Subutai, and the Han army is Liu Heima, and they are going south to invade our Great Song Dynasty, only in a few days!"

Xingyuan Rong Si all controlled Jiang Wanzai's report, and all the generals and ministers were solemn.

The 70,000 army, including 50,000 cavalry, is indeed menacing and frightening.

In the year of Ding Hai, there were only 20,000 Mongolian troops, and they had already made trouble on the west road of Lizhou, and this time the 70,000 army attacked, which was not trivial.

"Your Majesty, this time the Tatar army is menacing, this little heart of the minister, so nervous!"

Yu Jue's words eased the atmosphere in the hall a lot.

"Yu Jue, have the reinforcements from Hexi Road and Xixia Road already entered Qinzhou east?"

Zhao Hongwan smiled and asked Yu Jue.

"Your Majesty, my army entered Qinzhou and Gongchang Mansion in batches, 20,000 in Qinzhou and 30,000 in Gongchang Mansion. Just wait for His Majesty's order, and immediately go south to fight to the death with the Tatar army! ”

Yu Jue clenched his fists and asked for orders, impassioned.

The Mongol army gathered heavy troops, and under pressure, he was highly motivated.

"Cui He, you are sitting in the Lizhou camp, and the back road of the army will be handed over to you."

Zhao Hong told them one by one, his face solemn.

"Chen Longzhi, Guo Zhengsun, Lizhou West Road, are already strong and clear?"

waited until the two pacification envoys replied one by one to confirm, and then Zhao Hong continued:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a national war and a big war, and there is no room for loss. I still say that the purpose of war is to kill and injure the other side to the greatest extent possible and make the other side lose the ability to resist. If this war is won, our Great Song Dynasty will have a chance to reverse the situation between the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia. If we lose, I'm afraid the situation will be even more difficult! ”

He looked at the generals in the hall and smiled slightly.

"Guys, do you have faith?"

Destroying 70,000 Mongol troops and deciding the outcome of a war is a great opportunity!

"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as the Tatar army goes south, the ministers will definitely kill him all over the field, and the blood will flow like a river!"

Meng Hui, who accompanied the town guarding Xingyuanfu City, said excitedly.

The emperor was really like a god, and the Mongol army really wanted to wave his troops south, taking advantage of the Song realm.

"Your Majesty, as long as the Tatar army enters Xingyuan Mansion, it will definitely be easy for them to come in, but it will be difficult to exit!"

Wang Jian's eyes lit up, and he was excited.

The 40,000 troops of the Yangzhou defense line must kill the corpses of the Mongolian army all over the field and the blood will flow like a river before they will stop.

"Your Majesty, the Tatars have 50,000 cavalry, and they want to kill and wound each other on a large scale, and in the final analysis, they must also conduct field battles. This time, I'm afraid it will be necessary to look at the field capabilities of our army. ”

Cao Youwen said that it touched Zhao Hong's heart.

In order to stop the eastward advance of the Mongol army, it was necessary to fight in the field, and it was impossible to defend it in a dangerous situation. More than 100,000 troops are fighting, and the Hanzhong Plain will probably be a huge bloody slaughter field at that time.

"It's not to kill or repel it, but to try to annihilate the Torre Department, and to make Hanzhong become the tomb of 70,000 Tatar troops, and break the myth of the invincibility of the Tatar iron cavalry in one fell swoop!"

Feeling that the courtiers didn't seem to understand their intentions, Zhao Hong solemnly told everyone.

Strategically despise the other side and tactically value the other side. This is also the style he has always adhered to.

"Send an order to Wang Shixin, the guard general of the Dasan Pass, not to block the Tatar army when it goes south, and let them in."

Zhao Hong looked at Cao Youwen and Yu Jue, solemnly.

Once the Tatar army moved south, Cao Youwen led an army of 20,000 to capture Fengxiang Mansion and cut off the back route of the Tatar army. Yu Jue led an army of 30,000 to the south and entered Hanzhong from the first line of Wuxiu Pass. Lu Wende and Jiang Wanzai did not want to intercept, put all the Tatar army into Hanzhong, and together with Yu Jue, made a big bag, and trapped Torre to death in Hanzhong. ”

He looked at Fan Zhong and Guo Zhengsun and admonished:

"Fan Zhong and Guo Zhengsun, once our army wins, we will take advantage of the situation to enter Shaanxi. Is there no problem with the heavy transfer of grain and grass? ”

Grain and grass are the guarantee for the troops to enter Shaanxi.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, 300,000 stones of grain and grass in Hexi have been concentrated in Lanzhou. Together with the war, it can be transported to Chang'an in less than half a month. The follow-up 700,000 stone grains and grass will also be transported one after another. ”

In Fan Zhong's voice, there was a trace of pride that was not easy to detect.

Since the Song army advanced into Hexi, it has only been four years now, and it has cultivated 3 million mu, almost reaching the level of the middle Tang Dynasty. The military tun reached 200,000 mu.

This year, the millions of stone grains and grass provided to several nearby roads are all from the military and civilian tuns.

If the supply of war horses is added, Hexi has really become the granary and horse farm of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the baggage required by the army, including firearms and ammunition, can be transported from Chuzhou to Qinzhou at any time, and then to Shaanxi."

Guo Zhengsun was also full of confidence and answered without hesitation.

There are two firearms manufacturing points, the Lizhou Ordnance Manufacturing Division and the Chuzhou Ordnance Manufacturing Division, and the supply of firearms is not a problem. In addition, Chuzhou is only five hundred miles away from Fengxiang Mansion, and there are Song Army's post stations all the way, and you can enter Fengxiang Mansion in ten days at most.

"Two Qing family, then please."

Zhao Hong nodded with satisfaction. It seems that it seems to be a good choice to adjust Fan Zhong to enter the center to replace the elderly Xue Ji or Xuanxuan.

Zhao Hong looked at everyone and made a final summary.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the war is imminent, and if we win, the momentum of the enemy and our defense will be changed, and the army will occupy Shaanxi. If it is defeated, the country's strength will decline day by day, or even collapse. I'm here, please! ”

Zhao Hong bowed his head gently towards the full hall of generals.

"The ministers will never live up to His Majesty's trust!"

All the people bowed together and spoke in unison.

The sergeant came in to give a report, sweating profusely.

"Your Majesty, the Tatar envoy has arrived in the city of Chuzhou!"

"Sure enough!"

Zhao Hong patted the table lightly, and the courtiers in the hall were all excited.

"Your Majesty, the Tatar army is really going south!"

Yu Jue couldn't help but say, and her excitement was beyond words.

"Your Majesty is strategizing and preparing things like a god, which is really a blessing for me! Luck to all the people in the world! The minister is my big Song Hezhi! ”

Cui respectfully bowed with him.

Strategizing, predicting things like gods, the Great Song Dynasty has such a bright monarch, and Zhongxing is just around the corner.

"The ministers are my great Song Hezhi!"

All the courtiers spoke solemnly together, and they were indeed convinced.

If it weren't for the emperor's early preparations and deployment of troops in the northwest, I am afraid that Biansai would really be in chaos, and I don't know how many people would suffer again.

"Now take it!"

Zhao Hong put his mind at ease and laughed.

"Lu Wende, you and Guo Zhengsun will go back to Chuzhou City first. How to deal with the Tatar messengers, how to provoke them, you know? ”

The two countries have torn their faces, and there is no need to waste expressions anymore.

"Your Majesty rest assured, the ministers will not let Your Majesty worry!"

Lu Wende and Guo Zhengsun knew it well and received the order one after another.

Isn't it just tougher, which makes the Mongolian army angry and angry, and has to go south in a big way.

After hibernation for so long, don't you just wait for such a day?

They also want to see if they don't borrow the road, will the Mongolian army forcibly borrow the way?

"Torre has sent messengers, and the Tatar army will go south, I am afraid, only in a few days. Each of them shall return to his own place and do not act rashly. Remember, put the Tatar army into Hanzhong and fight to the death! ”

Although there were 20,000 Han troops in the Torre Division, there were also 50,000 cavalry, one man, two horses or three horses, and the marching speed would not be slow, and a big battle was about to break out.

The generals came out of the official office, and everyone was walking heavily, and it was difficult to see a smile.

"Wang Jian, the Yangzhou defense line is the last barrier to enter the hinterland of my Great Song Dynasty in the east, you have to defend it!"

Cao Youwen was solemn and told Wang Jian.

The Yangzhou defense line is 40,000 troops, and if the Mongolian army attacks with all its might, the pressure will be great.

"Cao Youwen, don't worry! With me, I will not let the Tatar army succeed. If they want to break through the Hanzhong defense line, they have to step on my Wang Jian's corpse! ”

Wang Jian nodded, his face solemn.

Compared with the previous siege battles, this is a thorough field battle. The Mongol army of 70,000 is not trivial.

"Let Cao Youwan do a good job under your command and make meritorious contributions. Tell him, let go of your baggage, don't let your majesty down! ”

Cao Youwen patted Wang Jian's shoulder and whispered.

From the coach all the way, he was demoted three levels in a row, if his younger brother can't bear it, it will really be wasted.

"Lu Wende, Jiang Wanzai, when the Tatar army goes south, I will lead the army from Wuxiu Pass into Hanzhong. At that time, I will send someone to transmit the military information, and we will march together. Your Majesty's body of ten thousand gold, you can't go out of any way! ”

Yu Jue said to Lu Wende and Jiang Wanzai, the light breeze on his face was gone, full of worry.

It seems that when the Mongol army went south, he was also uneasy and lost his due calmness.

"Lao Cao, to attack Fengxiang Mansion, I'm afraid you have to rely on Brother Wang Shixian. They are Tatars and should come in handy. ”

"Lao Yu, don't worry. Fengxiang Mansion, leave it to me! ”

Cao Youwen and Yu Jue whispered to each other.

"Brothers, the battle of Hanzhong is handed over to you!"

Meng Heng came out and saluted Cao Youwen and the others.

"Old Meng, if the Tatar army dares to go south, they will not return!"

"Lao Meng, Your Majesty is in the city of Xingyuan Mansion, if his old man is missing a hair, our brothers will not be able to spare you!"

"General Meng, don't take care of Your Majesty's safety!"

The generals spoke one after another, speaking seriously, and Meng Heng solemnly agreed.

"Don't worry! Brothers, let's see you on the battlefield! ”

"See you on the battlefield!"

"See you on the battlefield!"

The generals said goodbye to each other, and they got on their horses one after another, and they didn't know who it was, and they were generous and heroic, and they immediately sang loudly.

"Open your eyes

Watch carefully

Which one wants the captives to confess themselves! ”

The generals opened their voices and sang aloud.

"Because of cowering and forbearance

People are becoming more and more arrogant

Speak your mouth and shout loudly

This is a place where the whole country is in the army

Historically, robbers have invaded

…………”

The crowd beat their horses and parted ways, and the singing was still loud. When the song came, Zhao Hong also sighed in his heart.

Da Song, the sleeping lion, should also wake up.
