Chapter 3 Withdrawal
Chengdu Mansion.
Since receiving the news of the defeat of the Mongolian army in Kuizhou City, the residents of the city have fallen into laughter, but after cheering, they have sadness on their faces, thinking of their relatives who died under the iron hoof.
Regardless of the state of the war, their loved ones are gone.
And this is destined to exist in the hearts of all people forever.
Walking in Chengdu Mansion, Zeng did look at the people on the street with a smile on his face, but this was the happiest time for him to laugh in the past year.
"Zeng Niu Barbarian!"
Familiar voices, familiar people.
Zeng was sure to see Su Yun in the distance, and he was infinitely sentimental: "It turned out to be Su Yun? Why are you back again? Don't you plan to continue studying in Lin'an?"
"Lin'an?" Su Yun looked stunned, and shook his head, revealing a little loss: "You know, I don't belong there! Although he ran to Lin'an with a fist heart, and risked his life to spread the news of the Sichuan war to everyone in the court.
But the reaction of those ministers was really unexpected.
Instead of sending a large army in time, they attacked each other, blaming each other for not doing the other, and as for the Mongol affairs, they also put aside and ignored them at all.
It was precisely because of this that Su Yun was disappointed, so she asked Taixue to resign and returned to her hometown.
"Where is Lao Li?"
Zeng did blink, and then he felt a little uncomfortable.
In the past, Lao Li always followed Su Yun without leaving an inch, and this was indeed known.
"He's dead trying to protect me!"
"Dead?"
"That's right. In order to protect me, I was killed by Ding Daquan's men. ”
A bland sentence reveals infinite sadness.
At this moment, Su Yun didn't know what the meaning of what he was doing was, Lao Li died because of this, and he was also stripped of his fame by Taixue, and ten years of hard work came to naught.
Zeng said: "So, you are alone now?"
"That's right. Su Yun nodded, and said: "And I will also take a look at my hometown, and the land in the clan has also been destroyed due to the war." And those fields were all burned down with the title deeds. Except for the shirt on my body, I am now alone. He never thought about what it would be like if he didn't have the property of the clan, and he would be alone.
But after these things today, Su Yun realized how luxurious peace is.
Zeng did wipe the corners of his eyes, wiped away the tears that had dried up, handed his hand and smiled: "Since this is the case, then you can come with me." After all, now I'm alone too!"
"Okay. Su Yun stared for a while, stretched out her hand and grabbed the big rough hand tightly, and then followed him towards the distance.
No matter what, life has to go on.
It's just that just as Zeng Qu was about to leave, he saw a person flying in the distance and said to Zeng Qu: "King Jin has an order, let me wait to prepare my luggage quickly." In three days, our army will leave the city. ”
"What's going on?"
Zeng was surprised, and when he noticed Su Yun's puzzled look, he asked, "What happened, why did I have to leave this city?"
The man only shook his head, but he couldn't say anything.
......
"Lord, why do you want us to retreat?" With a little annoyance, Wang Zhi looked at Xiao Feng in the hall.
When Xiao Jingmao saw Xiao Feng's expression not moving, he immediately felt frightened, and hurriedly persuaded: "Wang, step back quickly, don't annoy the lord because of this." ”
He has been following left and right since the time of Taiyuan, and naturally knows that Xiao Feng seems to be modest, but he has always been ruthless inside, and no one can change what he decides.
Only then did Wang Shu notice Xiao Feng's angry gaze, and he felt as if he was in an oven.
But if he retreated like this, he still didn't dare to argue, and argued: "But we fight to the death, if we return the hands of the great Sichuan like this, the soldiers are afraid that they will be unwilling." ”
Xiao Feng's mouth opened, and then he ordered.
"Of course I do. It is precisely for this reason that you were summoned to this place, and the herald ordered you to evacuate within the specified time. If anyone dares to disobey, they will be dealt with severely!"
The sonorous voice, with a toughness that people dare not refuse.
"I'll understand!"
said it indifferently, which naturally made the ranking soldiers quiet, not daring to question it in the slightest.
Now that they have made a decision, they naturally have no choice but to obey.
As for the reason?
According to the usual practice, Xiao Feng will naturally tell everyone to ensure that everyone understands what he is doing this for!
When Ma Yundong saw everyone's eyes, he knew that he couldn't refuse, so he asked: "It's just my lord, why are we retreating? Instead of taking advantage of the situation to occupy this land of Sichuan and Shu? After all, this place is vast and has a large population. If we can occupy this place, then we can compete with the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia, and we don't have to continue to curl up and suffer the anger of Lin'an!"
As a veteran who has been following since the uprising of the Chifeng Army, Ma Yundong has enough prestige in the army, and naturally has the right to ask his own questions.
The rest of them were also slightly bowed, apparently quite concerned about the matter.
Without waiting for Xiao Feng to speak, Song Zijie next to him walked out directly in front of everyone, met everyone's eyes, and complained: "Everyone, don't embarrass the lord, you must know that it is my idea to withdraw from Sichuan and Shu!"
"Is that you?"
Wang Zhu looked at Song Zijie, slightly hostile.
Song Zijie accepted it calmly and replied: "That's right, it's me." ”
"Then can you tell me why you want to withdraw from Sichuan and Shu and give this huge land to Lin'an?" asked Ma Yundong.
Song Zijie replied: "The reason is very simple, because we can't tear the alliance with the Song Dynasty now. ”
"Song Dynasty, just those soft-footed shrimps, you know, how can they repel the Mongols without our help?" Wang replied with a slight movement of his eyebrows, and even disdainfully.
Song Zijie chuckled lightly and replied, "You, you're still too confident." Don't forget, if it weren't for Wang Jian and Yu Jue to hold back the Mongol army, how would we be able to smoothly cut off the other side's logistics? Otherwise, if we were alone, we would still be on the battlefield. ”
Wang Zhu was speechless for a while, so he had to shut up.
Even though it was the Red Phoenix Army that expelled the Song Dynasty from Sichuan and Shu, if it weren't for those Song troops who consumed the strength of the Mongolian army and dragged the other side to the hot summer, otherwise the Red Phoenix Army might not have been able to succeed.
No one can ignore this.
"That said. However, after the Mongol attack, the strength of the Song army can be said to have dropped to the limit, and there are no soldiers in the country. If we give up occupying Sichuan and Shu today, I am afraid that the Song Kingdom will recover in the future, and we will no longer be able to accept it under our command. Qin Changqing was a little worried, and opened his mouth to ask.
