At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 133

"Cough cough cough..." Liu Shiyong stopped coughing, put the hand covering his mouth behind his back without leaving a trace, and wiped it on his clothes.

He was in the main seat, with no one behind him, and no one could see the blood stains he left.

Enduring the discomfort in his lungs, Liu Shiyong continued: "Nanxin Town has been conquered, and the gate of Lin'an is open. Can you all fight to the death?"

"A man should die in the wilderness, wrapped in horse leather and buried with his ears. How can he lie in bed and let his son do evil in the hands of a woman!" Yu Wengang said: "I am seriously ill, and the enemy is also seriously ill. I should take advantage of the situation and make progress to repay the country's kindness.

Moreover, the people in Lin'an have no doctors or medicines, and marching at this time is to save the people from fire and water, and those who respond must be numerous. "

"No." Zhu Huan said: "There are [-] troops, [-] are dead and [-] are sick. Now that we have experienced a bloody battle, there are only more than [-] usable troops. It is not enough to stick to Nanxin. How can we make progress?

Even if the Tartars are unable to fight anymore, we will conquer Lin'an, but our army already lacks medical treatment. How will thousands of people be treated?If we abandon it and ignore it, the people will definitely be resentful. Is it possible for Your Majesty to return the capital? "

"The imperial court is already preparing medicine, and sooner or later it will benefit the people of Lin'an. At that time, people's hearts will be completely restored, wouldn't it be as solid as gold?" Yu Wengang said.

"It's not urgent, what can I do?" Zhu Huan said, "It's better to make the people hate the Tartars than to make the people resent the imperial court."

Yu Wengang said: "It doesn't matter, as long as we put in our efforts, the people will see it.

And now the people everywhere can no longer hold it any longer and are now mobilizing the people to fight against the Tartars. "

The reason why we say this is because the Zhejiang General Office in Yuanting detained all the doctors and controlled all the medicinal materials. The order of medicines was given to officials, Mongolians, Semu, northern soldiers and civilians, southern soldiers, and common people.

Basically, people can only hide at home and let nature take its course.

It's not that you can hide if you want. For example, in Nanxin Town, the people have been driven out a long time ago. As for other places, the countryside is still good, and in the city, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea... the first two are the minimum needed to survive.

In order to prevent infection, the Yuan army prohibited people from going out. Large families could persist, but small families could not bear it and had no choice but to die.

Death from illness, starvation, and death are all deaths. The cities in Lin'an Prefecture are like boiling basins of oil, only one spark is missing.

Zhu Huan said with a sneer: "It's no different from looking for fish by a tree."

The two generals on the left and right were arguing, and Liu Shiyong could only say: "Put it down...cough...pff..."

As soon as he coughed, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the sky.

"Manager." The two of them were shocked and held on to Liu Shiyong. Seeing Liu Shiyong's face was as golden as paper and his breath was as thin as silk, they immediately summoned a military doctor to take a look.

At this time, Timur had returned to Lin'an City.

As one of Boyan's direct descendants, Timur naturally supported Zhang Hongfan's work, so he went to see him immediately.

Zhang Hongfan was seriously ill and slept most of the time. Today he recovered slightly and heard Timur's visit, so he immediately invited him to meet him.

As soon as the ceremony was said, the guards came in and informed him that Linping Town had been stolen.

Zhang Hongfan sighed with emotion: "Nanxin and Linping towns are lost, and the Song army can march straight in!"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Timur's face.

He was still thinking about how to talk about the loss of Nanxin Town, but Zhang Hongfan had already guessed it.

Timur organized his words and said: "Before the Battle of Chibi, the Wei state was powerful. However, after years of fighting, the soldiers were exhausted. After going south, plague broke out. As a result, they returned with a great defeat, and Wu and Shu were established.

With the strength of the Wei state, if you make all the preparations and then go south, even if you miss the opportunity of Liu Biao's new funeral, how can it be possible for Wu and Shu to defend?
Marshal, why don't you give up on the southeast for now, and wait until the plague dissipates in the coming year, and the imperial court will dispatch Tianlei again, and it won't be too late to fight again.

If we do not retreat at this time, I am afraid that all the hundred thousand elites of the Yuan Dynasty will be ruined here. When the Song Kingdom becomes bigger in the future, it will definitely be difficult to conquer. The story of the Three Kingdoms will repeat itself. How to explain to the Great Khan? "

Zhang Hongfan didn't want to retreat, and he couldn't blame Timur too much, so he had to say: "Your Majesty's edict has not yet been issued and he left without fighting. How should I explain it?"

"If we don't dare to fight, we really can't fight." Tamerlane said: "Now the plague is rampant, killing one or two out of ten people, and the rest are all terrified. How can we fight?"

"The Song army won the battle, but the Dayuan warriors couldn't?" Zhang Hongfan held back his anger and said, "The two barbarians Liu and Yang led the troops in person, and you are a Mongolian warrior, so why do you want to escape?" "I..." Timur blushed, and didn't know how to explain it. .

He didn't have a lot of eloquence in the first place, and his performance just now was a special homework. At this time, Zhang Hongfan forced him to question him, and his paws were numb immediately.

"Marshal!" Another guard rushed in and shouted: "The deputy marshal led his troops out of the city."

"How dare Shuzi do this!" Zhang Hongfan stood up angrily and shouted: "Come, follow me to intercept."

Without even thinking about it, Ali must be running away.

Sure enough, when we arrived at the gate of the city, we saw hundreds of cars stretching out. The ruts were deep, and they were obviously full of goods. As for how much of them were filial to Kublai Khan and how much belonged to him, only Ali didn't know.

"Deputy Marshal!" Zhang Hongfan stopped in front of Alibie's carriage and shouted, "Abandoning the city and leaving, what should I do?"

"The marshal is carrying the plague, please don't meet him." Ali did not show up and only spoke from across the carriage. The first sentence made Zhang Hongfan almost angry to death.

"This commander is not abandoning the city, but escorting the property to Beijing. This is what the Great Khan personally promised. What is the crime?"

Zhang Hongfan shouted and asked: "If you cross the river, if you destroy the Huaiyang army, you will not be able to escape the blame. If you bring the plague to the north, you will have to affect the nine tribes!"

"Don't worry about it." Ali said calmly: "The marshal has not recovered yet, so it is not suitable to blow the wind. Go back quickly, lest there is no one in Lin'an to take charge of the overall situation."

Unable to persuade Ali to leave, and unable to force an interception, Zhang Hongfan looked at the others and asked, "Are you going to betray His Majesty?"

Saliman, Tachu and other generals all stared back with expressions of "what can you do to me". The Han generals, mainly the surrendered generals, all turned their heads to avoid it.

Zhang Hongfan was so sad that he couldn't help but cough, which was heartbreaking and unbearable to watch.

After finally stopping his coughing, Zhang Hongfan was about to speak when he felt a sweetness welling up in his mouth, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he immediately fell off his horse.

Shocked, he immediately picked it up and rode back to the city to see a doctor.

"Continue to set off." Ali said calmly.

From beginning to end, he hid in the car and did not show up at all.

In fact, Alibe had been in hiding since the plague began and was therefore not infected.

However, the plague not only did not dissipate, but became more and more severe. He did not dare to stay in Lin'an and wanted to go north.

Generally speaking, it becomes weaker as you go north. The north bank of the river has not been affected by the plague and is the safest.

Ali's other plan was to be stationed in Zhenjiang. If the situation was not good, he would never dare to cross the river with only the golden mountain on his body.

If Ashu's army was really infected, Kublai Khan would definitely skin him. If he brought the plague back to Dadu... haha.

Hearing that Zhang Hongfan's condition worsened again, the guards from all sides rushed back.

However, Zhang Hongfan was unconscious and everyone was hesitant. After deliberation for a long time, they decided to abandon Lin'an and go to Zhenjiang Mansion.

When the news reached the riverside, Zhang Rongshi, who was in charge of the navy, was silent for a while, and then ordered to set fire to the two big five-toothed warships.

"General, don't do it." Liu Jie advised with tears in his eyes: "Such a sharp weapon is easy to burn, but it won't be possible to build it for another three to five years. Think again."

"Water General's death is nothing more than this!" Zhang Rongshi also lamented endlessly.

The river is invincible, Zhang Rong really doesn't want to give up, but other ships can return north no matter whether they are going through the canal or entering the sea, but the big ship Wuya can't.

This ship has a high center of gravity, and it will capsize when it encounters a big wave when it enters the sea. The draft is too deep, and the canal is not enough for passage, so Song Ting only built two ships, and they were not sent to the front line of the river.

Now that the Yuan army has decided to return north, of course it cannot leave the two big killer ships to the Song army, and there is no time to dismantle them, so they can only burn them.
