Chapter 1915

Kaifeng Prefecture.

Zhanbutai has led the Yuan army here for several days.

His army totaled more than 160,000, gathered most of the troops in Hebei West Road, Hedong South Road, and Damingfu Road, as well as 20,000 Kyoto Imperial Guards.

Including the nearly 100,000 troops of Yuanwu Enterprises in Kaifeng Prefecture, there is a number of more than 200,000.

The defenders that the Yuan army lost in Nanjing Road in the past were just a tiny force and could be almost negligible.

Under the command of Zhanbutai, there are nearly a hundred ranks of ten thousand men alone.

Such power is terrifying.

Jue Yuanwuqi has a 50,000 army under his command to guard Xuzhou, and another 20,000 people are stationed in Guide Prefecture.

Therefore, the troops around Kaifeng Prefecture were only less than 200,000.

But even so, it is quite amazing.

There are not so many people in Yue Peng's Xianglong Military Region and Su Quandang's Jiankang Military Region.

At this moment, Du Hu had already led the soldiers of the Tianyong Army to Dexiang City.

The army gathered here by Yue Peng include Tiankui, Tianxiong, Tianjie, Tianyong, and the garrison troops of Xiangyang Prefecture, Jiangling Prefecture and Kuizhou Prefecture, totaling about 80,000.

Such troops are far from the Yuan army in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Although Su Quandang led his army to capture Xiayi County, Tianlao, and Tianhui's army, a total of more than 100,000 soldiers to suppress Guide Mansion, it would not relieve Yue Peng's pressure.

It is completely conceivable that if Yue Peng’s Xianglong Military Region could be destroyed, he would never care about losing the mere Guide Mansion.

Just as Su Quandang led his army to capture Xiayi County, Kaifeng Prefecture, more than ten most important generals under his command were discussing affairs in the government's yamen, and Yuanwu Enterprises were among them.

As the deputy commander of the army, he was the second second among the Yuan army's middle line to the throne.

The little man who was not famous among the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty was able to reach his current position, which is really considered to be capable.

In addition to Yuanwu Enterprise, Zhanbutai also had famous generals such as Bagen, Esher, and Hobu.

These people were originally A Shu's old subordinates, but after A Shu's death, they were released back to the Yuan Dynasty.

Later, the tree fell and the money scattered, and no longer had the power of Ah Shu when she was still alive.

It was not until Yuanwujia was ordered to station in Kaifeng Prefecture and Zhanbutai led the army to take charge that these former defeated generals were again given important tasks.

There are not many generals in the Yuan Dynasty now available, and the phenomenon of disconnecting the green and yellow is as serious as the Song Dynasty in the past.

It turned out that too many of them were able to conquer and fight, but too many of them died at the hands of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.

Even A Shu, Boyan and Yesuer were dead, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that half of the sky in the army had collapsed.

In the lobby of the government office.

The old general with gray hair on his hair is sitting in the main seat.

The middle-road military supervisor Dong Ge and the deputy coach Yuanwuqi sat in the left and right positions of his lower head.

Dong Ge is actually Eunuch Dong, the eunuch around Zhenjin, and a person who is extremely trusted by Zhenjin.

Zhen Jin sent him to supervise the army, which also shows his importance to the situation of the war.

Seeing the generals' eyes gathered on him, Zhan Butai said, "Everyone, the army has been resting in Kaifeng Prefecture for several days.

The Song army rages in our territory of Dayuan, causing smoke and public grievances. As generals of the Yuan Dynasty, we should expel them from our territory as soon as possible.

You should know the situation between Song and us at the moment. How to deal with the Song army? Do you have any suggestions?”

A general spoke soon in the hall.

It's Bagen.

He turned out to be the most valued general under A Shu, and now he has become the leader among A Shu's old subordinates.

Although he is not a marshal, he is already old after all.

Everyone knows that when the war between the Song and Yuan dynasties ends, they will be arranged by the emperor to go home to retire after the war between the Song and Yuan dynasties.

If they want to gain a foothold in the court, they must elect a leader again.

Bagan is the most prestigious among them.

He bowed to Zhanbutai and said, "Zhan Zheng, the Song army formed the central army with their Jiankang and Xianglong military regions. Yue Peng of Xianglong Military Region led less than 100,000 troops to station in Xiangcheng, and more than 100,000 troops gathered in Kaifeng Prefecture in Jiankang Military Region.

In the last general's opinion, the Song army must have made such a layout that it wants to take Guide Mansion first, and then jointly attack the Kaifeng Mansion where we are located with the army of Xianglong Military Region. We will inevitably be a little passive at that time. Therefore, the last general thinks that we should take the initiative to attack before the Jiankang Military Region has taken Guide Mansion and destroy Yue Peng's Xianglong Military Region.

Then, our army will inevitably have a high morale, while the Song army will not do the opposite.

If we fight with the Jiankang Military Region again, we should be able to win."

"Zhanshu!"

As soon as Bagen finished speaking, another general said, "The General also thought that General Bagen was right. Since the Song army wanted to attack Kaifeng Mansion on both sides, it would be like to cover us with both hands. Let's break his hand first and see how they would cover us up again.

To defeat the imperial guards of Xianglong Military Region, the last general thought that it was only necessary to take action with wisdom and not easy to attack.

The Song army is extremely powerful, so we still have to retain enough strength to deal with the Jiankang Military Region.

Their army is now deeply in the hinterland of Nanjing Road, and perhaps they can start with their grain transport troops. If the grain is cut off, the Song army will panic, and then we can take advantage of the situation."

The general who spoke was named Chu Hongdi, who used to follow Boyan.

Among the current generals of the Yuan Dynasty, he was also a well-known figure.

Zhan Butai listened to the two of them and just nodded slightly.

Then he looked at Yuanwuqi and asked, "What did the deputy generals think the two generals said?"

Yuanwuqi smiled and said, "Both generals are far-sighted.

However, this deputy commander had a doubt. For these days, this deputy commander was in Kaifeng Prefecture and never took the initiative to attack, but he knew the power of the Song army.

What I am worried about is whether we can destroy Yue Peng before Su Quandang leads the army over.

If Su Quandang led his army to come before destroying Yue Peng's army, our army would be attacked by their army in the field, and the situation would not be much better.

Even if all the troops guarding Kaifeng Prefecture attack at that time, the outcome will be unknown."

His eyes swept across everyone, "Although the Song army is less than 200,000, I think you all know how powerful the Song army is, right?"

With the same 200,000, their Yuan army could not be the opponent of the Song Dynasty imperial guards.

Even 300,000 or 400,000 is difficult.

Of course, this premise is that both sides will fight to face to face.

Nowadays, few people choose this when fighting.

All the generals in the hall thought about this sentence from Yuanwuqi.

Not that they have suffered such losses before, but they have learned several extremely painful lessons.

The Song army is a hard bone that is difficult to bite. If they open their mouths and don’t bite them in, they may even be broken by the Song army.

Zhan Butai was silent for a moment. Seeing that the generals in the hall stopped talking, he asked Yuanwuqi, "Who do you have any good suggestions?"

"Do the opposite way."

Yuanwuqi said: "The Song army likes to be surprised when fighting, so why can't we follow them?"

At this moment, he probably got a strong sense of satisfaction in the eyes of the generals, and seemed a little energetic. "Based on this deputy commander, the Song army must have arranged this way, thinking that we would divide the troops to take down Yue Peng first. Therefore, Yue Peng did not move his troops in Xiangcheng, but Su Quandang kept bullying in Guide Mansion.

If we want to attack them unprepared, we might as well gather heavy troops to attack Su Quandang’s Jiankang Military Region first!”

As he said that, he looked at Zhan Butai again, "Zhan Zhuang, you have sent 50,000 troops to support Guide Mansion, which makes the Song army think that our tactic is to reject Su Quandang first and seek Yue Peng.

At this moment, if we lead the heavy army to attack Su Quandang, Su Quandang should not be prepared.

If Yue Peng wants to get from Xiangcheng to Guide Mansion, the journey is farther than that of us, and he has to pass through Xuzhou. When he gets the news, he may not be too late to rush to rescue him."

Zhan Butai was slightly moved when he heard this.

All the generals in the hall also had strange colors in their eyes.

Yuanwuqi’s meaning is very simple, which is to fight the strong first and then the weak.

Such unexpected tactics were used to perfection in the past.

As long as the tactics are used properly, with their troops in Kaifeng Prefecture and Guide Prefecture, it is not impossible to destroy the more than 100,000 Su Quandang.

As for the remaining Yue Peng, as long as Su Quandang's Jiankang Military Region army has Tianlao and Tianhui's two armies are destroyed, it will not be a big threat.
