850. Play peekaboo
But in the end, Zhao Dongting had no definite answer.
After all, the struggle in Kuizhou Road has just begun. Even if it were him, he could not infer what kind of fighting Duan Qilin was behind the scenes.
What can be confirmed is that only Duan Qilin's every intention is to destroy the Song Dynasty.
Time is still passing.
After the commander of the garrison military region of Jingjiang Prefecture, Que Huarong, led a large army to Anyuan County and the Qiongzhou army of Ran Anguo, he took a break and left the city to go to Yongzhou.
A carrier pigeon flew from Anyuan County and took the lead in Yongzhou City.
Ran Anguo and Que Huarong defeated the Yue Li army, and the Yue Li army was almost wiped out.
Liu Hongyi, Zhu Haiwang and others, who were stationed in Yongzhou City, were very happy after learning the news.
After a few people discussed it carefully, they passed the good news to Changsha. Among the good news, each general had a detailed list of military merits.
Although Mao Xingyan, Zhu Mingkai, Fan Pengyun and others were killed, their military achievements were notable.
The bloody battles of the Wuding Hall were also a remarkable contribution.
When Ran Anguo and Que Huarong led their army to Yongzhou City, the carrier pigeon landed in the Changsha City Palace.
After Zhao Dongting, who often sat in the imperial study room, saw this secret letter, the solemn expression on his face finally cleared a little, and he showed a little smile.
Le Chan, who became the queen, looked at him more charmingly, and was happy for Zhao Dongting, "Your Majesty, what good news is there?"
Zhao Dongting laughed and said, "Zhu Haiwang, Zhu Hecong, Liu Hongyi, Ran Anguo and others wiped out all the 50,000 troops of Yue Li in Qinzhou. Haha, in just a few days, they actually defeated the 50,000 troops of Yue Li, which was really beyond my expectations. Even if I personally fought, I would be unable to do better than them."
He handed the secret letter to Le Chan, and couldn't help but say: "Zhu Haiwang, Zhu Hecong's brothers are just scholars. They dared to lead a large army out of the city to fight with the Yue Li army, and forced the Yue Li army to block the Yue Li army outside Yongzhou City. They lasted until Liu Hongyi led the Jingjiang Prefecture garrison to arrive. This bravery and courage should be an example for the world... Zhu Mingkai, who was the Jinshi, was also a talent, strategy and courage, and he was the best choice. It's a pity... If he was still alive, I would be willing to be the commander of the imperial guards for him!"
In the good news written by Liu Hongyi and others, the military achievements were led by Zhu Mingkai.
If he hadn't led 500 defenders to block the Yue Li army for so long and led the Yue Li army to Guwan Village, causing heavy casualties to the Yue Li army. This war would not have ended so soon.
It was a pity that his death was in battle.
After reading the secret letter, Le Chan also smiled and her eyes seemed to be crescent-shaped.
Then he said: "It's a pity that Captain Zhu and others sacrificed their lives... The emperor wants to reward their families heavily."
"Um!"
Zhao Dongting said with great emphasis: "This is certain. I will reward all the generals who have made contributions in this battle. I will double the pensions of the fallen soldiers! No! Double the pensions!"
Just looking at this good news, he seemed to be able to imagine how brave and decisive the two thousand Yongzhou garrisons were on the battlefield.
Those soldiers who died in the army should be examples in the army.
However, Zhao Dongting did not continue to reward him.
He wrote a reply in person, saying that he would remember all the military achievements of the troops in his heart, and asked Liu Hongyi, Zhu Haiwang, Ran Anguo and others to lead the army westward to resist the Dali army. After the Guangnan West Road returned to peace, he would give him a reward.
He was in charge of Changsha and commanding the overall situation, and naturally knew that there was an army in Dali that had arrived at Detemodao.
Zhang Jue also stated in a secret letter that he was powerless to hinder the Dali army.
This mission can only fall on the heads of Liu Hongyi and others.
Soon, another pigeon flew into the sky.
Yongzhou City.
Liu Hongyi personally went to the city gate to welcome Que Huarong, Ran Anguo and the army they led to the city.
On this day, Liu Hongyi ordered the reward of the three armies.
The military camp killed pigs and sheep, and the fragrance filled the air.
After learning about the victory, the people in Yongzhou City spontaneously sent many vegetables, fruits and other vegetables to the military camp.
Although they did not see the scene of the soldiers fighting bloody outside the city, they also knew that the peace of Yongzhou City was defended by the soldiers with their lives.
Some of the soldiers who died in the war were their families.
The people are sincerely grateful.
If these soldiers from the Song Dynasty had not blocked the enemy, they would have been humiliated by the Yue Li army.
However, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty did not accept these food, fruits and vegetables from the people.
This is a military order.
In the end, he could not stand the enthusiasm of the people, so Liu Hongyi even went to the military camp in person.
He said that we are soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and it is our responsibility to defend our country. I will appreciate your kindness on behalf of the soldiers of the entire army.
He asked the people to take those fruits and vegetables home or to comfort the families of the fallen soldiers.
This great victory was something they wanted to fight for. At this time, perhaps countless people were immersed in the joy of victory, but their families were crying silently.
On this day, hundreds of families in Yongzhou City were squeezed out by the people.
And on Temo Road, the Dali army was still moving eastward.
The commander of the special modao, the guards opened the city and surrendered.
The Dali Army passed along the way, and the tribes seemed to have discussed it, and were all surprisingly silent.
They obviously did not want to get involved in the war between Dali and the Song Dynasty. Perhaps, the last time the Zhennan Military Region attacked Zhao Bing, they had already suffered a lot.
When Zhao Dongting's reply finally arrived at Yongzhou City, the Dali army had already arrived in the territory of Youjiang Road, Yongzhou.
Their target is obviously Hengshan Village where Zhao Bing once lived.
After receiving the secret letter, Liu Hongyi did not dare to hesitate. He immediately led a large army out of the city with Zhu Haiwang, Zhu Hecong, Ran Anguo and others to the direction of Hengshanzhai.
Only five hundred Jingjiang Prefecture garrisons were stationed in Yongzhou City.
Zhu Zongyao and other injured people also stayed in the city to cultivate.
Before leaving, Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong went to Zhu Zongyao's room, but said nothing, just knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
Zhao Dongting did not say how many Dali Army there were in the secret letter, but with the national strength of Dali, its army would obviously only be stronger than the Yue Li Army. They didn't know if they could come back alive.
Ziqi.
Liu Zhuwen, Zhang Hongwei and Miao Cheng had already led a large army to Ziqi.
However, after they arrived in Qi, they did not encounter the army in Dali.
The Dali Army had already bypassed from Qi County and headed east.
In the east is Yongzhou.
Moreover, there are no cities on a large scale bordering Ziqi. No one knows where the Dali Army has arrived now.
But it can also be inferred that there are only two possibilities for the Dali army to continue to go east. Either attack Hengshanzhai or Yongzhou in the southeast, or they want to take a detour to go north.
But these two options may put the Dali army in danger of food being cut off.
After discussion, Zhang Hongwei and others did not hesitate much, so they hurriedly led their troops to Yizhou directly.
If the Dali army wants to go north, it must pass through Yizhou.
Compared to the Dali Army's attack on Hengshanzhai, they were undoubtedly more worried that the Dali Army would detour north. Because the troops in the Song Dynasty were really empty.
If the Dali army really attacked Hengshanzhai, they would still be able to stop the Dali army from continuing to rage after they headed south from Yizhou.
What made Liu Zhuwen and others a little worried was whether the Dali army was just playing hide-and-seek with them just like they did when they attacked Dali.
If this is the case, the Song Dynasty was afraid that many cities would be slaughtered.
In the territory of Tongchuan Prefecture, New Song.
Zhang Jue led the army to the territory of Deluo.
But here, he also failed to encounter the Dali Army.
The Dali Army headed north at an extremely fast speed in the territory of Luo.
They obviously had any plans with the New Song Army, but they tried their best to avoid the war and did not confront the Great Song Imperial Army.
And I don’t know when this plot will reveal clues.
In short, the south and west sides of the Song Dynasty were completely in chaos.
In Xinsong and Dali troops kept playing hide-and-seek tricks, but there were continuous cases of opening cities and surrendering in various places.
Duan Qilin has been planning for a long time, and this is really not a problem that Zhao Dongting can easily resolve.
At this moment, the Yuan Dynasty, which had always been eyeing the north of the Song Dynasty, finally revealed its hideous minions.
The Yuan army attacked the Song Dynasty in the southwest Jing Road, Huainan West Road and Jiangnan East Road. The number of troops is immeasurable, but there are always hundreds of thousands.
Kublai Khan was afraid that he had obtained the help of his relatives from the Mongolian Plateau and among the four major vassal states.
