Chapter 220: Restoration of Bianjing (Part 2) (1)

"Your Majesty, order an attack!" Liao Shenggong reminded Li Jun excitedly: "Now, the imperial army is gathering, and the morale of the soldiers is high. As long as the emperor gives the order, Bian Jing can be broken day and night."

His words were immediately approved by Zheng Jinghe and he said, "Yes, Your Majesty! Give the order!"

Li Jun shook his head and said, "You make sense. If you attack, Bianjing will be defeated soon. But have you ever thought that Bianjing is the capital of our Song Dynasty. If a fire hits it, it will be destroyed. In the end, it will be the loss of our Song Dynasty."

Bianjing became the capital during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. There were many historical buildings. If they were to make a big move, they would suffer any losses no matter how hard they tried to protect them. Relatively speaking, the recovery of Bianjing and the protection of these cultural relics is of course more important. However, if it can be preserved without preservation, it is a regret for scholar Li Jun, a life.

Furthermore, the Mongols were famous for their good deeds in history. Although Kublai Khan was better at building than his ancestors and was much less destructive. However, it was impossible to rule out that he imitated his ancestors to carry out great destruction in anger. If this were the case, Bian Jing would definitely suffer a catastrophe. If Kublai Khan "destroyed to the point where he could no longer destroy", his significance would have been greatly reduced after the restoration. It was not only Li Jun's personal regret, but also the regret of the Song people, but also the regret of the Chinese nation.

Chang'an is a living example. Everyone knows that the Tang Dynasty was an extremely powerful dynasty in Chinese history. It is natural for the next dynasty to establish the capital of Chang'an. However, the Song Dynasty established the capital of Bianjing. One of the very important reasons is that Chang'an suffered devastating destruction during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

When the invaders in history succeeded, they would occasionally make a little kind of intention to protect something. Once they failed, they would often have organized destruction. The Nazis and the Japanese in World War II had done this, and I don’t know how many things that should have been preserved were destroyed because of their atrocities.

Therefore, Li Jun’s worries are not redundant, but also a question that he has to do.

"What the emperor said is not without reason, but I think it is important to protect Bianjing, but it is even more important to recover Bianjing." Liao Shenggong tactfully told Li Jun that it would be better to take Bianjing back first.

Li Jun didn't understand what he meant and smiled and said, "It is our wish to restore Bianjing early, and it is the dream of China's efforts for a hundred years. I also want to go to the city early to see the capital of the Song Dynasty. However, we must be cautious. We must think of a way to restore Bianjing early, and return to the Song Dynasty!"

"There is a way to defeat the enemy without fighting!" Zheng Jinghe said in contemplation: "Kublai will not resist and hand over the city obediently. However, this is too difficult. I think Kublai will definitely resist to the end no matter what."

Liao Shenggong agreed with Zheng Jinghe's view very much and said, "If Kublai Khan does not resist to the end, he will not be Kublai Khan. The emperor, I think he can order the special forces to enter the city and the attendant will catch Kublai Khan. As long as he catches Kublai Khan, Bian Jing will defeat him without attacking him."

"Not only will Bian Jing be defeated without attacking, but the entire North China will also be defeated without attacking." Li Jun expressed his opinion that Liao Shenggong did not express and said, "In addition to this, there is another way to protect Bian Jing."

Li Jun said this, proving that he was quite sure. Liao Shenggong and Zheng Jinghe were not sure about this matter and immediately asked: "Master, will you come out?"

"We have to find a way to make Kublai Khan not dare to give up and not burn his jades. I am somewhat sure of this." Li Jun said slowly. At this moment, a loud voice came from the top of the city: "Is the person coming from Mr. Zhao Qi and Zhao of the Southern Dynasty?"

Li Jun looked up and saw a group of people standing on the top of the city. The leader was seven feet tall, handsome in his face, and with a dragon robe, an imperial aura was natural, and he couldn't help but praise him in his heart. You don't have to think about it and know that it must be Kublai Khan. Li Jun said loudly: "That's it. Is the person coming Kublai Khan the Tartar?"

Kublai Khan asked politely, and he thought Li Jun would ask him if he was Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty as he did. Unexpectedly, Li Jun used the two words "Tartars" that were extremely disrespectful to the Mongols. Liao Shenggong and Zheng Jinghe were happy in their hearts and couldn't help but cheer. Li Jun's answer was of humiliation and was even more relieved than using the entire army.

To be honest, Li Jun looked at Kublai Khan and rated him as "a destroyer of the old world and a creator of a new world" from the bottom of his heart. He has a good impression of a generation of heroic emperors who are of great significance to Chinese history. Even in another time and space, Li Jun's evaluation of Kublai Khan was also very high.

However, goodwill is goodwill, national affairs, and national dignity must still be maintained. Li Jun is a person who can control his feelings well, and he did not refuse to seek favors because he had a great affection for Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan looked at Li Jun and was amazed. He finally saw Li Jun, a legendary figure who failed him. The excitement in his heart was really beyond the description of his pen and ink. There are two kinds of excitement, one is good and the other is bad. At this time, Kublai Khan had both of these feelings.

The favor is due to Li Jun's heroic spirit and awe-inspiring like a tiger, especially Li Jun is wearing military uniform, majestic and with a big whip, it must be the momentum of a golden sword and iron horse. To sum it up in one word, that is a true hero. Kublai Khan is a person who likes heroes. If he is not in a hostile situation with Li Jun, they can be friends and confidants.

Of course, the resentment was Li Jun's actions in recent years, which destroyed Kublai Khan's plan to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, shattered his dream of unifying China, and eliminated Kublai Khan's countless troops. Now, Li Jun is facing Bianjing again and surrounded him. They are also life-and-death enemies, and they are extremely jealous of enemies. It would be wrong for Kublai Khan to hate Li Jun to the core.

After all, Kublai Khan was unique and had a high level of talent and wisdom. He immediately judged from Li Jun's words that Li Jun was not only a wise and wise ruler, but also an eloquent debater with no hindrance. His eloquence was even worse than that of ancient debaters. Otherwise, Li Jun would not have used the word "Tartar" to return him.

"I am Kublai Khan!" Kublai Khan calmed down his agitation and asked Li Jun, "Zhao Qi, do you know your guilt?"

It is unnecessary to think that Kublai Khan must have imitated the ancient debater and made people feel nervous. Li Jun knew how to answer so that he would not lose the prestige of China. He looked like a tiger and scolded: "Kublai, do you know how many atrocities you Tartars committed? The Tartars were cruel and unrighteous, burning, killing, looting, rape and rape wherever they passed. The ruins of the city were broken, bleeding and drifting, and the roads were filled with corpses. The people lived in dire straits and heat, hungry for feeding. Now, I raised an army to hunch the people, expel the unrighteous Tartars, and restore the rivers and mountains of China. Kublai Khan, I will give you a chance. If you open the city to surrender, I will spare you death. If you dare to resist stubbornly, the royal army will be everywhere. Kublai Khan, surrender or not? " With one hand raised, the soldiers shouted in unison: "Submission or not?"

The Mongols have always been strong but the Southern Song Dynasty is weak. When they meet on the battlefield, they are always the Mongols who suppress the Song army to fight. They have never asked the Mongol emperors like this. The soldiers are proud and in a fashionable way, they are "good" and are so refreshing.

Li Jun's remarks were expected by Kublai Khan. What he didn't expect was that Li Jun actually brought the soldiers of the three armies in. In this way, Kublai Khan's power to speak alone would be too thin, pitifully thin. To make an image metaphor, Kublai Khan was like a prisoner waiting to be executed in the court, while Li Jun was the judge, and the soldiers of the three armies were cheering for help.

Kublai Khan really felt this way in his heart. He felt humiliated, his thick eyebrows were filled with shiny eyes. It was obvious that Kublai Khan was angry with this humiliation and wanted to make up for the situation. He shouted: "Zhao Qi, you don't have to shake your lips and tongue here, and turn the black and white. The Southern Dynasties were in power, corrupt officials were rampant, fish and meat, and the people were screaming. I couldn't bear it. I rebel, punish Wuzhu, and the soldiers came to Lin'an to restore the people to a prosperous era."

He was right. Before Li Jun came to this world, the Southern Song Dynasty was indeed corrupt enough, and it was really unjust. It was precisely because the Southern Song Dynasty was unjust that the national strength was weaker and gave the Mongols the opportunity, and Kublai Khan could unify China.

This is a debate in front of the formation. You cannot directly accept the matter, otherwise you will be at a disadvantage. Li Jun was confident and had a stern face. He raised the majesty of the emperor "Mu Mu" and shouted: "Kublai, I ask you, have you ever forgotten the bloody case of Hangu Pass? Zhending has thousands of miles away, and there has not been a living person yet. Zhending's souls are still wandering in the wilderness. Have you ever forgotten? Hundreds of thousands of people in Changzhou came to fill the moat for you. Have you ever forgotten? This is what you said about punishing the truth? Are you the truth, or who is the truth?"

These are bloody facts, and it is hard to change the fact that Kublai Khan is so smart that he can't speak in a speechless way.

All the soldiers knew about these bloody and painful lessons, and everyone was angry. When they heard that Li Jun mentioned these tragic things again, they were all filled with anger. Under the leadership of Liao Shenggong and Zheng Jinghe, they shouted in unison, "Give me back the mountains and rivers!"

When the soldiers stopped shouting, Li Junyu warned Kublai Khan earnestly and said, "Kublai, do you know that those who win the hearts of the people will get the world?"

Kublai Khan has heard of the words that win the hearts of the people know the world, but he is not as impressed as this time. The reason why he was impressed was that Li Jun warned him and made him feel humiliated. Just as he was about to refute, Li Jun did not give him a chance at all, and then said: "The Tartars only know how to be powerful, and do not care about the people's strength. However, my monarchs of the Song Dynasty were kind-hearted and transformed into stubbornness with the way of saints. You do not understand the intentions of saints, and you will do your own thing, and the soldiers will cause disasters, and the lives will be ruined. The people will be punished with eight out of ten. The crimes of yours are unforgivable!"

To be honest, the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty had nothing to praise, and Li Jun had no good feelings for them, but in this case, they had to cover up their shame and say that their incompetence was "a kind heart that was originally merciful and cultivated stubbornness with the way of a saint". Li Jun felt really disgusted.

If these incompetent emperors are not shy, they will be at a disadvantage in their momentum, which is called having to do. This is the case with the argument. You must say the good ones, and you must say the bad ones, which is the secret to the argument.

"You are the real inverted right and wrong. Except for you who are very good now, you are all the emperors of the Southern Dynasties. They actually speak up to you with high sounds. They dress up as a benevolent monarch, which makes me angry!" Kublai Khan once again realized Li Jun's eloquence, and was about to get it back, at this moment, a team of Song soldiers came to the city, raised the musket in his hand, and pointed it at Kublai Khan.

Babur saw the opportunity quickly and shouted, "No, Master, retreat quickly!" Regardless of Kublai Khan's feelings, he dragged Kublai Khan away with the guards. As soon as they walked away, a loud bang sound was heard, and the muskets in the hands of the Song soldiers were exerting their power. If Kublai Khan was slower, he would definitely be sieve.

Kublai Khan appeared on the top of the city, which was a good opportunity to kill him. If he had done Kublai Khan, he would have many benefits, as long as he was mentally normal. Although Li Jun had a great impression of Kublai Khan, he would not miss this opportunity. While reconciling with Kublai Khan, he used gestures to signal Liao Shenggong to tune some musketeers to deal with Kublai Khan. Unexpectedly, he escaped for him. Li Jun said regretfully: "If there is a cannon, it will be too late to bomb."

"Don't worry, my elders, I have also transferred thirty steel cannons." Liao Shenggong's answer made Li Jun feel excited. Liao Shenggong knew that Kublai Khan was difficult to deal with, and muskets alone might not work. He ordered thirty steel cannons to take place in case of emergency needs.

Li Jun blurted out and said, "What are you waiting for? Fire up!"

With a command, thirty steel cannons aimed at the top of the city wall, and Kublai Khan might have been able to stand on his feet.

Li Jun, Liao Shenggong, Zheng Jinghe, and the soldiers of the three armies looked at the smoke and dust on the city, waiting anxiously for the result of the bombing.

"Report to Khan, a large number of Southern Dynasties were found in front of him." The spy said hurriedly: "They have a lot of people, and the flags are more than the grass on the grassland."

Hulagu said with a stern face and said, "Isn't it just one hundred thousand? It scares you."

The spy hurriedly defended himself: "Return to Khan, according to Xiao's estimate, I'm afraid..." Under Hulagu's accumulated power, he did not dare to speak out the facts.

"What are you afraid of? Say!" Hulagu shouted.

The spy said carefully: "I'm afraid it's more than 100,000, but 200,000 are possible."

The information obtained before was that Zhao Liangchun's troops who were guarding Zhuxian Town only had 100,000, but there would definitely be 200,000. However, this spy was an experienced spy who followed Hulagu for many years and never made any mistakes. He said that there were 200,000 people, and even if there were not, it would not be much different. Hulagu was really a little surprised at the ability to increase troops in the Southern Song Dynasty and said, "Talk again!" The spy took the order and left.

"Khan, what should I do?" Hutu asked in surprise. Hutuhu followed Xulawu all his life, fought many tough battles, and had rich military experience. Soon he thought that the Song army suddenly appeared in Zhuxian Town. Needless to say, Song troops also came in other directions. The Song army clearly wanted to surround them. It was better to concentrate troops to open a hole from Zhuxian Town and reach Bianjing and Kublai Khan to join, but this was not realistic at all.

Although Hulagu's army had 300,000 troops, he had an advantage in military strength. However, his army was always moving and was very tired. The Song army had been waiting for work for a long time. It was obvious that whoever was better or worse was very good. Besides, the Song army would not wait for them to arrive here and did nothing. It must have been arranging the formation of the camp and setting up a dignified formation long ago. Attacking the formation of the dignified formation is the most difficult.

What is most worrying is that the Southern Song Dynasty deployed a large number of artillery here. Not to mention other things, this artillery alone is enough to be able to bear. Therefore, it is very difficult to open a hole from Zhuxian Town. As long as Zhao Liangchun drags them down, the other Song troops will arrive. In that case, Xulagu will be surrounded by the group and he will be unable to escape.

For Hulagu, the best way is to immediately bypass Zhuxian Town and go straight to Bianjing, and pondered for a moment: "The detour is divided into two routes, and go to Bianjing from the northwest and northeast directions respectively. Remember, you have to go to Bianjing at full speed and you will be victorious."

Hulagu's handling was very correct, and his troops were divided into two groups to save time. However, reality is always cruel and always shattered Hulagu's dream. A spy came and shouted from afar: "Report!"

"Say!" Hulagu said coldly.

The spy gasped and said, "Go back to Khan, a cavalry appeared in the northwest, about 50,000, which is pressing towards us." It is easy to think about it. This army is here to stop them from flowing from the northwest.

Before Hulagu could react, another spy came and jumped off the horses and reported: "Report to Khan, two cavalrymen came out to the east and northeast. The cavalry in the northeast were wearing black armor, which might be the black armored cavalry of the Southern Dynasties. The cavalry in the east were high-headed and big horses pressing towards us." He muttered in his heart, "Many of the horses they rode were Mongolian horses with good breeds."

It is obvious that the Southern Song Dynasty's intention was to prevent him from rushing from the east to deploy cavalry. Xulagu felt that the encirclement of the Southern Song Dynasty was tightened, which means that the Southern Song Dynasty's encirclement had reached its final stage, and his army was about to be determined whether it was life or death.

"Reported to Khan, a large number of Southern Dynasties were found to the west and south. Their number was large, more than the yellow sand in the vast sea. The smoke and dust they splashed covered half of the sky." Another spy reported.
