Chapter 19 The Battle of Qi (Part 1)
Boyan asked the soldiers to move Lu Wenhuan's body away, clasped his fists on the city, and said, "Mr. Zhao, I, Boyan, came to the Southern Dynasty to punish the people and rescue the people of the Southern Dynasty in dire straits and fire. He asked the emperor to be very blessed. The soldiers used their orders to promote the army. The army was advancing smoothly. The Southern Dynasty army was defeated many times, and its morale was depressed and there was no ability to fight again. If Mr. Zhao wanted to fight with our army with an egg, it was tantamount to attacking stones with eggs. Boyan advised Mr. Zhao to say that those who know the times are heroes and submit to our dynasty. The emperor is kind and will not treat the teacher badly. The teacher can maintain wealth, the ancestral temples can be safeguarded, and the people can avoid the disaster of war. Otherwise, Mr. Zhao tried to fight against the city, which was tantamount to breaking his own way. It was not taken by the wise. Please think twice."
"No wonder Boyan has such a high evaluation in history. He is really eloquent. He clearly speaks threatening words and speaks them politely, as if his friends are admonishing him." Li Jun admired Boyan, who spoke appropriately, and laughed to the sky.
Logically speaking, Li Jun should have retorted, but he didn't expect to smile and not answer. Not only Boyan Daqi, but also Wen Tianxiang and the others were also strange, looking straight at Li Jun.
Li Jun stopped laughing and said, "Does the Prime Minister really think that our Song army will not have the power to fight again?"
"It's not that Boyan is arrogant, but that's the case. Since our army advanced to Lin'an, we have never encountered decent resistance. Even famous generals such as Zhang Shijie will defeat my army with one blow, and they will only lose more than 100,000 troops. Boyan advises the sir to think twice before taking action and not to make unnecessary actions." Boyan couldn't help but say proudly.
This cannot be blamed for Boyan's arrogantness. As Boyan said, since the departure of Xiangyang, the Yuan army has defeated all the battles, and even famous generals like Zhang Shijie were defeated. The progress was rapid and he was approaching Lin'an City with lightning speed. Anyone would be proud of such achievements.
"The Prime Minister really believes that your Mongolian army is invincible? You can defeat everything and you can win the battle?" Li Jun asked calmly, as if he asked casually.
Although Boyan knew that Li Jun had other profound meanings, he couldn't understand his intentions. He was not afraid of the formation before the army, so he said decisively: "Yes." Although it was only two words, he said it with confidence.
"Did the Prime Minister disappear yesterday?" Li Jun asked with a smile. Li Jun saw that Li Jun's eyes were in sight and found Wen Tianxiang and others were excited, as if they had found treasures.
Yesterday, three thousand troops arrived at Lin'an City, but they disappeared magically, as if they had evaporated. Boyan really couldn't figure it out, and was also curious and wanted to know the answer, but he wouldn't be so stupid that he asked Li Jun if he had done it for him, and lied: "That was sent to me for the mission."
Li Jun laughed, with a little joke and a little ridiculous, and asked, "Master, where have you been sent?"
Boyan's heart was thrilled, and felt something was wrong, and he said stubbornly: "It's very important to tell me, so please forgive me."
"Another person like Cao Cao, with a hard mouth." Li Jun whispered Boyan in his heart, pointed at Boyan and said, "You, you are just stubborn. I will help you, and I will tell you where they are. They sent you to the underworld. Did you create the rebellion of the Ten Palaces of Yama?"
Alahan and others were so curious that they looked at Boyan and Li Jun on the top of the city. They really couldn't figure out what the two were doing.
The ominous premonition became stronger, and Boyan said: "This..." I can't say anything afterwards.
Li Jun smiled and said, "Prime Minister, now I will let you see the result of the Ten Palaces of Yan Jun getting angry. Open the city gate and send ghosts and gods."
Li Jun's half-true and half-fake play was really amazing. Wen Tianxiang, Zhao Qian, and Huang Shengcai smiled and covered their mouths, secretly laughing. Gao Da opened his mouth wide and laughed: "Hehe, it's time to give the Tartars some great looks."
At the city gate, a group of monks, nuns, Taoist priests and nuns were walking in their heads, chanting scriptures while walking. The sound of wooden fish came, and the sound of Buddhist scriptures was endless. The Taoist roared in my ears, as if it was a funeral procession.
In history, there was no such thing as sending monks, nuns, Taoist nuns before the war, let alone giving up the mourning posture. Although Boyan has experienced many battles and is calm among the thousands of troops, he couldn't help but open his tiger eyes widened and stared at this team of inappropriate teams, and his eyes almost fell off when it came to this strange thing.
The Mongolian generals like Boyan were also like Boyan, with their eyes staring like copper bells. They didn't believe that there was such a strange thing in the world. Their heads were shaking like rattles. If they hadn't had their necks firm enough, they would have been broken.
What surprised Boyan even more was that it was really a mourning team. Behind the monk, nun, Taoist priest, was a long mourning team. The two of them had a stretcher, covered with white cloth, and couldn't see what it was. It was certain that the one who carried it was definitely a corpse.
"Did Hu Nuer and the others really eat it?" Boyan had an ominous thought in his heart, and then thought: "This is unlikely. The Southern Dynasties army would persist even if they were trapped in a heavy siege. As long as they persist, the army would arrive, and it would be natural to rescue the siege."
Boyan didn't expect that the Southern Song army after Li Jun's rectification had improved a lot. The overall combat capability was still far from that of the Mongolian army, but in some aspects it had surpassed the Mongolian army. Yesterday, Li Jun spent a lot of money to annihilate Hu Nuer and complete the battle in a quarter of an hour. It took less than half an hour to clean the battlefield. Boyan's army naturally couldn't see anything.
Boyan is a man who can make a big doubt, and immediately made a decision. He thought that no matter whether it was Hu Nuer or others, this trump card would definitely be extremely unfavorable to him. He had to make a quick decision and never let Li Jun reveal his trump card. He turned around and ordered an attack. However, a shocking roar came from behind him: "Listen, Tartars, this is the body of your vanguard. Now I will return it to you."
Along with the roar, there were also bursts of surprise, and even Alahan couldn't help but talk to himself in surprise: "Hu Nuer! How is this possible? How is it possible?"
The Mongolian generals were as shocked as Alahan, and they were extremely surprised.
The Mongolian soldiers were also very shocked, and they looked like they were beaten to death. This was not the real thing.
Boyan's heart skipped a beat and thought, "It's over, it's still too late." When he looked back, he saw a group of people on the top of the city, shouting with a thick throat: "Listen to Tartars, we are the benevolent and righteous men, and now we will return three thousand corpses to you." It seems like a radio, propaganda over and over again. He held a guise in his hand, and wrote in two Mongolian and Chinese words, "Boyan, return three thousand corpses to you. If you ignore the fact that the soldiers' bones are not cold, the soldiers will feel heartbroken, then start a war."
The funeral team under the city ran and put the stretcher together. The white cloth had been unveiled. The bodies in Mongolian military uniforms were lying quietly on the stretcher, with blood still on the stretcher, and the scars were almost there. What made Boyan lose his eyes the most was that Hu Nuer's body was tied to the cross. The bloody scars on his body were still there, but his face was extremely clean, and it was obviously cleaned.
Boyan is a very smart man. He immediately understood Li Jun's intention. Li Jun was demonstrating to him. There was only one purpose of returning the body, which was to say: "Didn't you say that the Mongolian army is invincible? I'll return their bodies to you. Let's see how you can talk?"
At the same time, Li Jun was also taking this opportunity to attack the morale of the Mongolians and increase the morale of the Song army. Since the war started, the Mongolian army has not encountered decent setbacks, and the loss of 3,000 people at one time has never happened. It was suddenly exposed before the ten thousand troops, and the morale of the Mongolian army was quite severe.
