934. Zuo Cheng to Changlin
Jinghu North Road is close to the northernmost, Changlin County.
The Yuan army flag was erected on the top of the city, and the horses were resisting the whole city.
Since Su Quandang's surprise attack on Changlin last time, causing the loss of troops and generals, Lu Wenhuan received an order from Kublai Khan to keep his troops still.
This former former minister of the Southern Song Dynasty no longer easily had the imperial guards, but only set up defenses in Changlin County. Today, although I dare not say that I would build Changlin County into an iron barrel, it was definitely not easy for Su Quandang and others to break through. The Yuan army's food and grass were continuously transported from Jingxi South Road to Changlin County.
This place has become the territory of the Yuan army, and the people of the Song Dynasty are rarely visited.
Su Quandang only led the Tiangang Army and the Wenqi Changde Prefecture Garrison to guard Jiangling Prefecture, while the Tianli Army Liu Zaiyuan guarded Dangyang. He was also unable to attack the Yuan army.
The two sides have been in such a confrontation for a while. Because if a war is to begin, it will be a life-and-death battle.
Lu Wenhuan dared not resist, while Su Quandang was under too much pressure. If he was defeated, the Yuan army would be able to advance straight from here, so it would be better to confront the Yuan army like this.
Fortunately, the news of the news from Guangnan West Road and Kuizhou Road made him feel less and less stressed.
As long as Yue Peng and the others freed up their hands, it will only take a while to repel these Yuan troops.
The sun is scorching.
There seemed to be waves of heat rising on the official roads outside Changlin County.
The soldiers on the top of the city were sweating profusely, and some people were napping, and when they opened their eyes, they felt like they were spinning.
More than ten riders galloped out of the city towards the north gate of Changlin County. They were all covered with gray cloaks.
"drive!"
"drive!"
The sound of slapping is getting closer and closer.
The soldiers on the city wall looked at it and finally got a little bit of energy.
Over the years, except for the army transporting food and grass, even a fly rarely flew to Changliulin County.
Now a few strangers suddenly came, which made them feel like they saw a monkey.
The guards under the city stopped in front of the city.
Before they could speak, the more than ten riders were already squeezing their horses. The leaders were covered in dust and their eyes swept across the city.
Judging from his appearance, he actually ignored the guards under the city who wanted to stop them.
This made the guards a little unhappy, and someone shouted, "Who are you?"
A man in more than ten riders suddenly reached out and threw out a token.
"ah!"
The token shot straight to the chest of the guard who was standing in front, and it made the guard scream in pain and couldn't help but take two steps back.
The guards next to him were furious without any accident. They immediately raised their spear and scolded them.
The guard who was staggering back two steps back, his expression changed drastically after seeing the words on the token in his hand, and an extremely frightened expression appeared on his face.
"See Prime Minister!"
Although Yelu Zhu was a civil servant, he was the left prime minister and was not something that these ordinary soldiers could offend.
Furthermore, everyone knows Yelu Zhu's reputation in the Yuan Dynasty.
The guards knelt respectfully on the ground and presented the token.
Yelu Zhu didn't say anything, so he immediately stepped forward, took the token, and went to the city like this.
It was not until he walked into the city gate that he said lightly: "General Lu's defense is good."
The soldiers behind followed him to the corridor, rushed to the front of Yelu Zhu and others, and shouted: "Sir Zuo Cheng is here! Sir Zuo Cheng is here! Let go away quickly! Let go away quickly!"
Yelu Zhu went to the government office leisurely.
At this time, Lu Wenhuan had already received the news and had already appeared in front of the government office to greet him.
"Mr. Zuo Cheng!"
When Yelu Zhu and his group came to him a few meters, Lu Wenhuan bowed to Yelu Zhu.
Behind him were more than ten generals, all of whom were well-known generals in the Yuan army, and they all bowed to Yelu Zhu.
Yelu Zhu lifted up the hat of the cloak and smiled a little, "General Lu, it's been a long time since."
The people behind him also lifted the cloak's hat one after another.
The man next to him made Lu Wenhuan and others stunned.
Someone bowed his hand again, and a smile appeared on his face, "Eunuch Huang!"
This person is naturally Huang Liangce.
In the entire Yuan Dynasty, there would probably be no one else except him who could make the eunuchs like the generals in the army.
As for those behind Yelu Zhu, although they should be great masters, they were unable to let Lu Wenhuan and others say hello to them on their own initiative.
Huang Liangce smiled, but still looked sinister, "All the generals are polite."
He hooked nose, no matter how his expression is, most of them will not give people an approachable impression.
Have a little greeting.
Yelu Zhufan and others dismounted and walked to Lu Wenhuan and his group.
Yelu Zhu smiled and said, "All the generals should follow me to the mansion. The emperor ordered me to come to supervise the army. I will have to take care of you in the future."
These words were naturally polite words. The smile on his face also seemed very calm.
But the generals changed slightly.
Even Lu Wenhuan had a strange color passing through his eyes.
But he quickly ordered normal again and said, "Please invite me from Zuo Cheng. I have asked someone to hold a banquet to welcome Zuo Cheng."
He followed Yelu Zhu.
At this moment, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
Kublai Khan did not tell him about Yelu Zhu's intention to come to the army to supervise the army in advance. He Lu Wenhuan could infer what kind of thoughts he had.
Fortunately, he did not want to surrender to Song again, otherwise Yelu Zhu would have entered the city in such a manner.
Yelu Zhu nodded slightly, "Ship Lu is worthy of being a famous general, and the city's defense... is very good."
This sentence is meaningful, but it also makes the generals following behind breathe a light tone.
Yelu Zhu used his position as the Left Chief to supervise the army, and his weight was extremely important. What they were most worried about was what trouble Yelu Zhu would cause.
Lu Wenhuan responded with a smile, "Lord Zuo Cheng is too good. Since he comes to supervise the army, he will ask for more advice from him in the future."
Yelu Zhu smiled and stopped talking.
Go to the government hall lobby.
At this time, the chefs were not able to prepare the wine and food yet.
Everyone sat down.
Although Yelu Zhu was just a military supervisor, he was not allowed to sit in the main seat. Huang Liangce and Lu Wenhuan sat in the front seats on the left and right respectively.
As soon as he sat down, Yelu Zhu looked at Lu Wenhuan and asked, "Supervisor Lu, what is the situation of our army in the territory of Song State and the Song army now?"
Lu Wenhuan replied without thinking: "The army of our dynasty has not started any war since the initial confrontation between Jiangling Prefecture, Ezhou, Longxing Prefecture, and Jianning Prefecture and Song Army. Now all the armies are in a state of confrontation with the Song Army. The other generals do not know much about them. Only in Jiangling Prefecture, the Song army still has 30,000 troops stationed in Jiangling Prefecture and Dangyang County respectively. Our army will be subject to their joint resistance if there is any abnormal movement."
Yelu Zhu nodded slightly and suddenly sighed: "The Song army is getting harder and harder to deal with now. If it were before, who could stop me from approaching nearly 100,000 cavalry?"
A general immediately spoke out and said, "Don't worry, Lord Zuo Cheng, as long as the war begins, the Song army will inevitably collapse thousands of miles under our iron cavalry."
Yelu Zhu just chuckled at this.
Everyone can say big talk. But at this time, it has not been long since Lu Wenhuan's army was bombarded by Su Quan.
Lu Wenhuan stared at the general with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
But at this point, he returned to normal in a blink of an eye. He looked at Yelu Zhu again and said, "There is another thing. I don't know if Lord Zuo Cheng has received the news."
Yelu Zhu asked, "What's the matter?"
Lu Wenhuan said with a serious expression: "Dali, the army of Xinsong has been on Guangnan West Road, and Kuizhou Road was defeated by the Song army. The three armies of Dali are only left with more than 100,000 troops and are still heading towards Changsha, and Xinsong is only more than 100,000 remaining troops. They hurriedly withdraw from the battlefield in Kuizhou, probably because they want to take Lizhou East Road back to Xinsong."
Yelu Zhu narrowed his eyes and pondered.
During this period, he just rushed to Changlin, but he really didn't know about this.
After a while, he said, "If this is the case, this is indeed bad news for our army. Without the restraint of the two armies of Xinsong and Dali, the Song army would inevitably gather in the northern border!"
"Oh!"
He sneered, "I originally thought that Duan Qilin of Dali was a cunning wolf, but now it seems that he is just a cunning fox. He has raised hundreds of thousands of troops across the country and seems to be a huge crowd, but it is just such a mob, and was defeated by the Song army in a short time."
As he said that, he looked at Lu Wenhuan again, "Then, can the emperor issue an order for this matter?"
Lu Wenhuan said deeply: "The Emperor asked us to end the war in the Northern Xinjiang as soon as possible before the Song army rushed to the Northern Xinjiang."
Yelu Zhu nodded slightly, "Then... fight!"
