Chapter 256: The Imperial Meeting
Next.
Naturally, it was Lin Chaoying and Xiaolongnu who were reminiscing.
The friendship at the beginning was naturally like this, and it was touching.
And Liu Xie did not interrupt his own planning because of Lin Chaoying's sudden arrival.
"Dian Wei, immediately summon Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others to come to the mansion to see me. Liu Xie said.
"Yes. Dian Wei immediately took the order.
Not for a while.
Inside the main hall of the mansion.
Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and other civil and military personnel gathered.
"Ministers see the king. The ministers said respectfully.
"Flat. Liu Xie stared at the hall.
"Thank you. The ministers said respectfully.
"What is the movement of the Mengyuan army?" Liu Xie was no longer bound by the etiquette of the court, and immediately asked.
"Back to the king, the minister has been sending spies to secretly investigate, Meng Yuan has already gathered a large army, but the strange thing is that he did not attack directly south, I don't know why. "Scheming like Guo Jia, I don't know what tricks Meng Yuan is playing at the moment.
Half a month ago, Meng Yuan had the intention of mobilizing troops, but today, half a month later, Meng Yuan still did not mobilize troops, but it was very strange.
"Xiangyang is the only way for Meng Yuan to attack south, unless Meng Yuan attacks by water. Liu Xie thought after thinking for a moment.
"King Qi, it is not impossible for Meng Yuan to attack by water. Guo Jia suddenly thought of it, and his expression became a little solemn.
After all, this Xiangyang City is the land south of the Yangtze River.
In addition to attacking by land, there are also waterways.
"This Meng Yuan is not very ambitious. ”
"In a grassland country, there is actually a water army?" Zhao Yun said with a slight smile.
"Mengyuan has been established for decades, and it has long had the intention of encroaching on the Central Plains, and the northern part of the Central Plains has also entered the hands of Mengyuan, and it is not difficult to secretly cultivate a naval army. Liu Xie said with a calm smile.
"Your Majesty, this move must be taken as a precaution, in this Xiangyang City, there are fewer naval troops, if Meng Yuan's naval army is strong and attacks from both land and water, then my Xiangyang will be attacked by the enemy on its back, and it will be difficult to resist. Guo Jia said.
Smell.
Liu Xie didn't worry much, but smiled playfully: "Even if Meng Yuan has a navy, will An dare to compete with my Han navy?"
"Does the king want it?"
After hearing Liu Xie's words, all the ministers in the palace were dancing with their eyebrows, as if they had thought of something.
"The Lone Han Legion has been waiting for Lone's call. Liu Xie slowly stood up from the high seat, put his hands behind his back and smiled.
"Your Majesty, be wise. ”
"If there is a navy of my Han Dynasty, the Mengyuan navy is not to worry. ”
"In this way, our army only needs to wait in Xiangyang, and then set up an ambush on the waterway to destroy the Mengyuan army. Guo Jia said with a smile.
Liu Xie smiled: "Zhu Aiqing reorganized his troops and horses, prepared to meet Meng Yuan, and sent another order to Lu Bu to return to the army quickly." ”
"Lone wants to destroy Mongolia in front of this Xiangyang City and unify the Central Plains in this realm. ”
"Your Majesty. Many courtiers shouted in unison.
Eyes rolled.
It is less than 50 miles away from Xiangyang City, and it is among the heavy cities on the border of Mengyuan.
Meng Yuanzu had an army of 700,000 gathered in this city.
This time, Kublai Khan has mobilized all the forces of Meng Yuan.
The heart of the south to destroy the Central Plains has been revealed.
Inside the main hall of the court hall of this city.
Kublai Khan sat on a dragon chair.
Below are the major generals of Meng Yuan.
Compared with the decadence of the Song Dynasty, the court of Mengyuan was vigorous, and it was several times stronger than that of the Song Kingdom.
After all, in this era, Mengyuan is the strongest country.
If there is no great man coming.
At most, within a few years, the Song Kingdom will be destroyed by Meng Yuan, which is the process of heaven in this realm, and it is also inevitable.
"Have you found out the movements of the Southern Central Plains?" asked Kublai Khan, looking at the courtiers.
"Back to the Great Khan. ”
"According to the report from my spy, the Song State has been destroyed by the Han State, and the Song Emperor Zhao Yun has been captured by the Han State. Mengyuan's first general, Ali Hague, replied.
This Ali Hague is the commander of Meng Yuan's army, not only has strong martial arts, but also has a strategy.
"This Zhao Yun is actually weaker than Ben Khan imagined. ”
Hearing this, Kublai Khan smiled sarcastically.
In the eyes of Meng Yuan, the Han State and even the Song State in the Southern Central Plains were fragile, and they looked down on them at all.
This is also caused by the weak Song Dynasty, so that the people of the Han family in this era suffered humiliation, and the weak country had no diplomacy.
The weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected.
Not only the force of the individual, but also the state.
"General Ali, has the matter that Ben Khan ordered you to do?" Kublai Khan asked, looking at Ali Hague.
"Returning to the Great Khan, all the things you have commanded have been done. Ali Hague replied respectfully.
"Good, good job. Kublai Khan laughed.
"The Great Khan. ”
"This Han State can have the combat power to destroy the Song Dynasty in a short period of time, although I am strong Mengyuan, but I should not be underestimated, and I need to be cautious about the Han State. A Meng Yuan Wenchen said.
Yao Aiqing was too worried. ”
"In the Han Kingdom, Ben Khan regarded it as a dog. ”
"I have an army of nearly one million in Mengyuan, and there are two armies by land and water, and I rely on Yao Aiqing's proposal to attack and attack from the waterway, and then use the land route to respond, and the Han Kingdom will be broken. ”
"If this time is successful, Yao Aiqing will be the success of our Mengyuan. ”
Kublai Khan laughed and said, he was bound to be in control, and he was extremely confident.
And for this minister, Kublai Khan also attaches great importance to it.
"Serving the Great Khan is the duty of a minister. This Wenchen, who is called Yao Aiqing, said.
Kublai Khan nodded and said nothing more.
"We will launch an attack tomorrow, Zhu Aiqing will go back and prepare, and General Ali will stay. Kublai Khan said loudly.
"The ministers retired. The courtiers of Meng Yuan retreated one after another, leaving only Ali Hague alone.
"How's the matter?" Kublai Khan asked solemnly.
"Back to the Great Khan, I have captured 50,000 Han Chinese slaves, which is enough to carry out the Great Khan's strategy. Ali Hague replied respectfully, with a haze in his eyes.
Kublai Khan nodded, with an indifferent expression: "If Yao Shu's plan to attack Xiangyang on two ways is not proper, then Ben Khan will use the slave army to open the way, and the Han State will be destroyed." ”
"Great Khan, the words of the Han people should not be trusted, and you need to be careful, you can't implement them all. Ali Hague said solemnly, and it could be seen that he was very dissatisfied with that Yao Shu.
"General Ali naturally knows what Ben Khan said, but now, we can only rely on Han officials to help us govern the country, after all, we have many generals who are brave and brave, and we are really not very good at governing the country. Kublai Khan said.
"It's good that the Great Khan understands. Ali Hague said.
"Now that I, Meng Yuan, have secretly formed a 100,000 naval army, and tomorrow I will attack Xiangyang, and I still need General Ali to personally command the naval army to attack from the waterway, only in this way can Ben Khan rest assured. Kublai Khan looked at Ali Hague with anticipation.
"Please rest assured that the Great Khan will be fortunate enough to live up to his life and break through Xiangyang from the waterway. Ali Hague said confidently, with a kind of arrogance in his eyes that he ignored the Han Kingdom.
"With General Ali, Ben Khan can rest assured. Kublai Khan laughed.
