Chapter 200: Going straight to Bianjing

"General Liao, what will we do next?" Zhao Liangchun looked at the map and said, "I thought we had two roads to go, one was to go straight to Bianjing, and the other was to follow Xulagu to the south. In comparison, going to Bianjing is more cost-effective and meaningful. Bianjing is related to my China's honor and disgrace, and it is naturally the best to be able to recover as soon as possible. In addition, Bianjing is currently the place where Kublai Khan, the Tartars stationed, which is of great significance to the Tartars. If we face Bianjing, it can play a role in attracting the Tartars' forces, making it impossible for Hulagu's army to reinforce the Southern Line, which can reduce the pressure on the Southern Line."

Liao Shenggong nodded and agreed: "What General Zhao said is very reasonable, and I think so too. We immediately assemble the army and take Bianjing directly with lightning speed. At the same time, we must send a small group of troops to support the rebel army, block and harass the Tartars so that they cannot reinforce the southern line."

"We are forced toward Bianjing from the east, this is feasible. However, I think Kublai Khan is brave and knowledgeable and good at using troops. Even if we face Bianjing, he will not panic and will inevitably organize defense. Therefore, I think General Zheng should be notified to join us in taking Bianjing." Zhao Liangchun thought about it and expressed his thoughts.

Liao Shenggong raised his palm and said, "General Zhao's words are exactly what I want. Although we can arrive at Bianjing in a short time, since the war on the southern and western fronts has not yet ended, these two armies cannot arrive in a short time to give us the support we deserve. If General Zheng's navy appears in Bianjing from the water, it will have immeasurable benefits for us, so do this!"

"Report to Khan, the Xuanjia Cavalry is chasing behind him. Please tell me what to do." Ahara asked Hulagu and said, "Last night, the Xuanjia Cavalry caught up with us and attacked our rear team, losing more than 2,000 people. Khan, please order the Xuanjia Cavalry to teach her a lesson."

Hulagu pulled the reins and stopped, saying, "He really thought I was afraid of him." The generals knew that he would be angry when he said this, and he must have fought with Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian's performance these days has been really good, which has caused Hulagu's headache. He always suddenly emerged and rushed into Hulagu's army. After a lot of killing, he immediately ran away. Under his attack, Hulagu's army could not eat well, sleep well, and could not drive the road.

However, Hulagu is not a person who is easily influenced by feelings. His reason always prevails, saying: "His purpose is to drag Ben Khan to prevent Ben Khan from resolving the siege of Zhonghe. Hum, how can Ben Khan be fooled by him? Pass my order, don't bother Zhao Qian, and move forward at full speed."

Zhao Qian made everyone in the army unhappy and looked forward to fighting with him. Unexpectedly, Hulagu abandoned it and the generals were very disappointed. They knew that Hulagu said something like a mountain, saying that he would definitely not fight, so they had to say, "Abide by the order."

"Khan, those mobs are unbearable. They either dig holes or throw caltrops, or come to harass us when we go to bed. Khan, please let me deal with these mobs." Hasaner asked Hulagu with unangry.

With the support of the Southern Song Dynasty, the people of the Central Plains rose up to resist and actively cooperated with the Song army to fight. Hulagu led his army to hurry to the southern line, and could not stop for many places in the middle, so they were naturally the best target for them to attack. After all the way, Hulagu and the others had enough. I wonder how many people died at the hands of the rebels.

Hulagu nodded and said, "This matter will be left to you. Remember, those who follow me will live, those who go against me will perish. All mobs who oppose the court will be killed. The rest of the people do not need to be entangled with Zhao Qian, and do not delay the mobs and move forward at full speed."

It would be too cost-effective if Xulawu, who was responsible for resolving Guo Kan's siege, would be ineffective if he had a moment of anger and fought a war with the Xuanjia cavalry and wasted time. His decision was as Li Jun commented, "He would ignore the rest and rush towards the target."

"It's really strange. There seems to be no movement in the past few days of the Southern Dynasties. What are they damning?" A Shu frowned and said to Zhang Hongfan. A Shu is a veteran and a famous general of a generation. I don't know how many wars I have fought in my life, but I just haven't encountered such strange things as it is now. Zhang Jue clearly has the advantage of military strength and firepower, but he is unable to move forward in the Sanmenxia area.

Sanmenxia is the passage for Zhang Jue to advance eastward. Although it is important, with Zhang Jue's talent, he has no reason to suppress his entire army here. When encountering a city that cannot be captured, it will either detour or besiege, and other troops will continue to advance. This is the most basic truth in the war. Facts have proved that Zhang Jue's long-term attack on Sanmenxia is justified, which is to create opportunities for Jie Jin to attack Luoyang, with the purpose of attracting A Shu's attention here.

It was not until Zhang Hongfan returned from Luoyang that A Shu understood. After solving a puzzle, a new puzzle came again. Zhang Jue still fought in Sanmenxia, ​​but did not make a Mingtang, and he has not even won Sanmenxia. According to A Shu and Zhang Hongfan's analysis, after Luoyang fell, Zhang Jue must have launched a large-scale attack, and took Sanmenxia in one fell swoop and advanced eastward quickly. However, the facts once again proved that his judgment was wrong. Although Zhang Jue's offensive was a little fierce, he still did not take Sanmenxia.

In this way, A Shu would not be able to do anything else. He discussed countermeasures with Zhang Hongfan every day on the map, but now they are at a disadvantage and rack their brains can't come up with a good solution, which makes them seem like they are guessing riddles.

"It must be a plan." Zhang Hongfan said nonsense.

Even if he didn't say it, A Shu knew that Zhang Jue and the others were using a trick. The problem was that A Shu wanted to know what Zhang Jue's plan was. A Shu nodded and said, "Of course, the problem is that we still don't know what their plan is?"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Hongfan, a famous general who captured Wen Tianxiang alive in history, said with some insight: "Just just guard the city, they will naturally be exposed in a few days."

"The reason is this principle, but once the Southern Dynasties exposed their purpose, we will..." A Shu said anxiously, and did not continue to say it skillfully. He did not say it, and Zhang Hongfan also understood that his words were probably too late by then.

Zhang Hongfan, a famous general in history, had his talents once again verified. The captain of the personal soldiers hurriedly ran in and said, "Report to the general, there is an envoy of the Southern Dynasty to ask for his visit."

"Please!" A Shu was so confused by the riddles these days. He wanted to know the answer to Zhang Jue and the others. He was a little happy to hear this. Please blurt out the words.

Zhang Hongfan frowned and asked, "How many people are coming?"

"One, one Taoist priest." The captain of the personal soldiers hurriedly replied.

It was a bit strange that the Southern Song Dynasty actually sent a Taoist priest as an envoy. Then, A Shu thought of Yang Ming's envoy to Dadu to give Kublai Khan the "Four Sages" and thought that the Taoist priest could see Kublai Khan, so he naturally saw him, so he blurted out: "A Tao of Guanzhong!"

Zhang Hongfan asked: "How old is the Taoist priest? Is he an old Taoist priest?"

"No, a young Taoist priest." The captain of the personal soldiers replied.

A Shu and Zhang Hongfan thought it was Master Qingfeng who had come, but they didn't expect it to be, and said, "Please."

After a while, Yangfeng followed the captain of the personal soldiers and said, "I have seen two generals."

A Shu and Zhang Hongfan returned the courtesy and said, "Please, Master." He turned sideways and invited Yangfeng into the house.

When he came to the house, A Shu asked his personal soldiers to bring tea, cut into the topic, and asked, "Master, what's the point of coming to my camp?"

Yangfeng drank a sip of tea and said slowly: "After the order of my family, I came to give the two generals a guide. The two generals are now in the riddle and do not know the answer. Have you ever thought about why our army could not capture Sanmenxia for a long time?"

Youdao is "only spectators are clear, and those in the authorities are confused." A Shu is now confused. He is just confused and does not know what tricks the Southern Dynasty played, not that he does not know that the Southern Song Dynasty was playing tricks. Of course, in this case, he would not say that he did not know. He raised his head and smiled coldly, saying, "The Taoist priest should return to secular life and should not jump out of the Three Realms."

"Jump out of the three realms, and also in the three realms." Taoist Master Yang Feng replied with a mysterious and witty remark.

A Shu ignored him and then said, "As soon as the Taoist priest said, he was a debating method, and he was exaggerating. A Shu knew your ghost domain tricks."

Master Yangfeng laughed and said, "I have heard a lot of cowhides in this life, but there are no cowhides like General A Shu. You are not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue. Well, General A Shu, I ask you, where is the main force of our army now?"

Zhang Hongfan opened his mouth and was about to talk about Sanmenxia. Then he thought that it was unlikely that if the main force of the Song army was in Sanmenxia, ​​Master Yangfeng would never have such a reason to ask, and said: "Where your main force is your main force is the place where our army's main force is. We have mobilized millions of soldiers to fight to the death with you."

Taoist Yang Feng laughed again and said mockingly: "General Zhang, you still like to read the Master's book. Even if the Master 'knows what he knows, he doesn't know what he doesn't know', he can't practice it. General Zhang, where did you encircle us? "

"Weapons are treacherous ways! If you don't know, you have to say you know!" Zhang Hongfan thought in his heart, and said stubbornly: "Yi'erkhan's army has arrived in the Central Plains and will advance west soon. Your doomsday is not far away. Listening to Zhang's advice, it is still time to surrender to the court."

This time, Master Yangfeng did not laugh, but pointed at Zhang Hongfan and said, "General Zhang, I have a account here, I will calculate it for you. Hulagu led 300,000 troops to the Central Plains, that's right. However, on the Eastern Front, the entire army of Temuir, Babul, and Shi Tianze were wiped out, and their lives and death are unknown. Most of the Three Guards and the Qiexue Corps were annihilated on the Eastern Front. After this decline and increase, do you still have a million troops? Besides, you don't have the strength of the imperial court. Even if you get reinforcements from Hulagu, you will definitely win the imperial court?"

"Soldiers are more important than elites, so there is no more." A Shu was a little embarrassed and helped him to rescue the situation with a very far-fetched approach.

Taoist Yangfeng stroked his palm and said, "A good soldier is more important than elites. Is there any more? Two generals, do you have any firearms as good as the court? Tell you, on the Eastern Front, the court invested nearly three thousand cannons in one fell swoop. How many cannons do you have? These cannons are now heading towards Bianjing. In the near day, Bianjing will return to the hands of the court."

When it comes to regaining Bianjing, this is a century-old event. The tiger's eyes are shining with light, and the sound is several decibels higher.

A Shu was still stubborn and said, "The emperor is a good man. Even if you throw all the cannons into Bianjing, you can't do anything."

"Kublai's talent is a good man, and I think so. However, General A Shu, you don't even understand the most basic principle. Even if Kublai Khan has talent, he cannot fight a war without soldiers. If he does not have an army, he will capture Kublai Khan's strength! This is the reason why Sun Ce assassinated people." Master Yang Feng said very ridiculously.

Zhang Hongfan said disdainfully: "The emperor is smart, benevolent and sage, and is no match for a man like Sun Ce."

Speaking of this, it was already stiff. Master Yangfeng knew that they were dead ducks and could be cooked all over, but he only opened his mouth and refused to give in and said coldly: "How the end of Bianjing is the emperor, and I don't care yet. I am here to solve the puzzles for the two of you by the order of your family master. You have followed Kublai Khan for a long time. I must have his intelligence, right? I won't say much." He walked to the map, drew two lines on the map, clasped his fists, and said, "Goodbye." He left.

Master Yangfeng's two strokes were very ordinary and there was nothing special at all, but A Shu and Zhang Hongfan were stunned by these two strokes, as if this most common move had supreme magic.

A Shu and Zhang Hongfan immediately slumped on the chair and kept muttering: "It's over, it's over." Then they jumped up and shouted: "Hurry up, send the order down, everyone is ready to fight and defend the city at all costs." They ran away.

Taoist Yangfeng's first plan started from Sanmenxia, ​​along the south bank of the Yellow River, and ended at Mengjin. It means that a large army in the Southern Song Dynasty went to Mengjin from the north along the south bank of the Yellow River. The second plan also started from Sanmenxia and entered Yiyang. This plan was also a large army from the southern line to Yiyang.

Mengjin and Yiyang are the two gates of Luoyang, and Luoyang is still under the control of Jie Jin. In this way, the main force of the Song army on the Western Front had reached the periphery of Luoyang. This move was very cruel and clever. First, it made a big pocket to completely surround the Mongolian army on the Western Front. Second, the Song army is in a very good position now, and can encircle and annihilate the Mongolian army on the Western Front, and forward through Luoyang to reach Bianjing.

In a word: The Song army can advance or retreat, and attack and defend freely!

Now, A Shu and Zhang Hongfan finally understood why the squad they sent to spy on the news came and went without saying that they must have been dealt with by the special forces of the Southern Song Dynasty. The special forces of the Southern Song Dynasty were particularly good at secret activities and were supported by the people of the Central Plains. It would not be too difficult to deal with their squad.

A Shu and Zhang Hongfan who understood it naturally knew how serious the situation was for them. In other words, the final decisive battle on the Western Front has arrived.

The two hurriedly ran towards the city. Perhaps God was deliberately trying to oppose them. Before they could run to the city, countless meteors fell on the city. Then a shocking explosion sounded, and the city turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the general attack of the Southern Song Dynasty began.

A Shu and Zhang Hongfan rushed to the top of the city and looked down at the city. They saw Taoist Master Qingfeng wearing a Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, riding on the horse, clasping his fists at the two of them, and laughing: "Congratulations to both generals, we finally saw the answer to the mystery."

He, a monk, was really like that. In this case, he was in the mood to joke. A Shu and Zhang Hongfan heard it and almost fell off the top of the city.

"Hulagu has a very good idea. He actually collected nearly 100,000 troops while chasing the Xuanjia cavalry. It was really amazing." Du Dayong praised Hulagu's performance very much. He was right. In the current situation of Hulagu, there were pursuers behind and Song troops blocking him in front, so it was difficult for his army to come and meet him. However, he forced himself to do things that others could not do and collected part of the army. It was impossible to do without extraordinary talents.

Zhang Shijie nodded and said, "No matter how powerful he is, it is at dusk, and the flowers are helpless. The flowers fall and the sky is weak. General Du's slow attack on Guo Kan is very clever. Xulagu leads us to the south. He is in a hurry to rush forward, and his army must be very tired. We can do it."

Gundam was very excited. Seeing that he looked twenty years younger, he looked like he was vibrant and said, "General Ou moved here in seclusion. The Xuan-armored cavalry behind him have arrived at this position. The two armies we sent are moving in seclusion. I can predict that Hulagu has already penetrated into our ambush and he will be surrounded by enemies."

"This is all General Du is a clever man. If I had followed me, I would have made the traitor Guo Kan a long time ago. How could he use the traitor Guo Kan as bait to catch the big fish Xulagu?" Zhang Shijie admired him very much.

Du Dayongqian said: "General Zhang has been too rewarded. This is all the emperor's intention. If the emperor hadn't made a clever arrangement, Hulagu wouldn't have been fooled."

"You are still so humble. The emperor has this meaning, but that is also the one you started to implement before the emperor conveys his intentions. What is this called? It means that all heroes see each other!" Zhang Shijie praised him and said, "General Du can understand the emperor's intentions thousands of miles away, and I can't do it no matter what."
