Chapter 302
In Shenzhou City, the fighting had ended, and corpses were everywhere. Naiman led his troops back to their camps, and the Song army took the prisoners to clean the battlefield.

In the city tower, Zhao Cunzhong patted Xie Xianwen on the shoulder and said: "A hero comes from a young age. He can take the second important town in Liaodong so easily. This success should be the first achievement."

Xie Xianwen pushed Naiman to the front and said: "The king of Lingbei is the first to achieve success."

"A small contribution is not worth mentioning." Naiman said with a face full of words: "If it hadn't been for General Xie's advice, this villain would still have no idea of ​​his destiny and would have sacrificed his life for Kublai Khan."

"I thought that when I was desperate and sought refuge in the tent of the King of Lingbei, I was able to escape capture. How dare I forget the grace of my life? I will report to the court and detail the achievements of the King of Lingbei." Xie Xianwen said.

"Thank you for the compliment, General." Naiman's smile became even brighter.

Thinking back to the beginning, he was indeed wholeheartedly embracing Kublai Khan's thigh. However, Dayuan failed to live up to expectations and was beaten mercilessly by the Song Dynasty. His whole body was set on fire.

Even so, in view of the conflict with Naiyan, Naimandai still sticks to his original intention.

No choice.

However, Xie Xianwen was chased by Yuxi Timur and had no way to go to heaven or earth, so he had to take the risk to meet Naiman Dai, leaving Naiman Dai with a choice.

He took refuge in the Song Dynasty.

Regardless of how happy Naiyan is now, once the Song Dynasty cuts off the military trade, it will immediately fall into disarray. With the support of the Song Dynasty, what is the point of Naiyan?Therefore, Naiman leads a reflexive reaction.

In February, Xue Cheqian took in Xie Xianwen, and Xie Xianwen persuaded Naiyan to cooperate with the Song army in launching the Liaodong Campaign. Now Naiman leads his father and son.In order to respond internally, he captured Liaoyang and Shenzhou in one fell swoop.

Of course, a mere Shenzhou could not satisfy Zhao Cunzhong. When Lu Wu and his troops arrived, they immediately discussed the next battle plan.

"According to the agreement with Naiyan, the plains between the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains belong to the country, so it is best to take them into your hands as soon as possible." Zhao Cunzhong said first.

He is a Mongolian, and what he cares most about is falling into his hands to avoid being robbed by others.

Xie Xianwen said: "What the general said is true, but the great enemy of the country is the Yuanlu, and it is important to annihilate their effective strength."

"Yucheng means Yuxi Timur?" Lu Wu asked.

"That's right." Xie Xianwen said: "The complete destruction of Yuxi Timur can ensure the stability of Liaodong and free Naiyan's hands and feet.

When the time comes, let Naiyan attack Longxi, Shanxi, and our troops will enter Tiemenguan and threaten Youzhou, forcing Yuanlu to send troops back to defend Dadu to cope with Second Marshal Zhang Jiang. "

"What's the plan?" Zhao Cunzhong asked.

Nowadays, Xie Xianwen is still young, but he is already highly valued by generals.

Not everyone can stay in the grassland for a few years, and not everyone has the ability to travel thousands of miles.

Xie Xianwen clicked on the map and said: "General Yang's horse army is about to arrive, and we will unite our forces to attack Qingzhou!
After capturing Gyeongju, even if Yuxi Timur escapes, he will definitely return south. As long as he prepares an ambush, he will be completely annihilated! "

The Yuan army marched north to Naiyan and had two logistics bases, Liaoyang to the east and Qingzhou to the west.

This is where the grain and grass are allocated and the soldiers rest and recuperate. If Gyeongju is lost, it is not impossible to fight, but the grain road is too long and can easily be cut off.

In fact, looking at the layout of the Yuan army in the north, it is basically within a thousand miles of Gyeongju, which is a month's journey of the baggage train.

Of course, in extreme cases, the Yuan army could resume their ancient housekeeping skills and fight while grazing, but if they want to do it this way, they don't know that they will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

Just as the three were plotting to conquer Timur's army, Zhang Shijie from Shandong had already arrived outside Jinan City.

During Huizong's reign, Jinan was promoted to one of the economic centers of Shandong. Later, as the Xiaoqing River was opened to the sea, Jinan became an important distribution center for salt transportation. Today, Jinan has become an important place of wealth for Yuanting.More importantly, Yuanting regarded Jinan as the gate to Shandong. Not only did he station 1 troops, he was also equipped with [-] artillery pieces and [-] guns.

With such a heavy guard, the general is certainly not an easy person.

Although the general Ali Hague has always been defeated by the Song army, there is no doubt about his talent. His deputy Shi Mo is not old, General Huaiyuan, the commander of the army and horses of the bridge, and is given the golden tiger talisman. Among the martyrs, the one with the most precious identity is of course Oruch.

The prince came to the battlefield to supervise the battle, and everyone in Jinan did not dare to slack off at all. This also prevented Zhang Shijie from persuading him to surrender.

Just as Zhang Shijie was setting up camp, Oruchi went up to the city wall to observe the enemy's situation.

After watching for a while, he found that the Song army was quite disorganized. Oruch asked: "Its footing is not stable and it is unprepared. How about sending troops to rob the camp tonight?"

"Zhang Shijie is a veteran with many years of experience. He would not make such a low-level mistake. There must be fraud." Zhang Hongfan said.

"That's not necessarily the case." Zhu Du said: "Perhaps after a series of battles and victories, he became arrogant and thought that our army would not dare to leave the city."

"What the marshal said makes sense." Shi Mobulao agreed: "Seeing that he only erected fences but did not dig trenches, and the tents inside are in a mess, as long as he selects an elite force to rush in and then cover them up with a large army, the Song army will definitely be defeated."

Shi Mobu Lao was originally a Khitan and had always looked down on the Han people. What's more, Zhang Hongfan, who had almost disappeared after recuperating from illness, was the military governor and the most hated existence among all generals.

Historically, Zhang Hongfan fell ill and died of illness after the Song Dynasty was wiped out at the Yashan Sea Battle. However, now that he has not gone deep into Guangdong, he is missing an acclimatization problem, but he has managed to survive.

Zhang Hongfan knew that he was not welcome, but he still insisted on his opinion, saying: "Ananda defended Jizhou, but he did not listen to orders. If Jinan loses, he will retreat, and the Song army will enter Henan, and the situation will be critical.

Now that Jinan's troops are well-prepared and a king is in charge, the best strategy is to gather around the city and defend it. "

"If you defend for a long time, you will lose. This truth should be understood by the governor. Throughout the history of the young emperor of the Song Dynasty, it can be said that the king's army has not dared to fight, but it has not been able to defend a city." The words of Sodu are very demoralizing, but they are the truth.

The two sides have fought until now, and all the cities that the Song army seriously attacked have been defeated.

Oruch thought for a moment and said: "How about we only rob the camp with 1000 people and confirm the success before sending out the army?"

"The general is willing to personally lead the army out of the city." Shi Mobulao asked.

He is proficient in bow and horse, and has outstanding martial arts. Since joining the army, he has always taken the lead in every battle. When attacking Sichuan, he often used a small number to defeat a large number. He was also very familiar with robbing camps at night.

Before Oruchi could speak, Zhudu immediately said: "Okay, the general will order a thousand elites to respond, and then send out an army of [-] to respond."

"Your Majesty, please don't be reckless..."

"There is no need to say anything, Overseer, I have my own plans." Zhang Hongfan wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Oruchi.

In fact, it was acquiescence to the arrangement of the capital.

The discussion was settled, Shi Mobulao inspected the troops, while Zhang Shijie outside the city was also sizing up Jinan City.

Because of the threat of artillery, today's warfighters are standing five miles away, making it difficult to see clearly the arrangements in the city.

After watching for a while and finding nothing, Zhang Shijie put down the telescope and said: "Tell the first division that if Yuanlu really comes to rob the camp, let's see if they are worthy of the number one."

Li Sanlang received the news and said: "Tell the marshal that if a Tatar escapes, I will personally hand over the flag."

Everything is an illusion, just to attract the Yuan army to rob the camp and weaken the defenders.
