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

Chapter 323 Take advantage of his illness to kill him
The death of Kublai Khan had a great impact. There was no need to keep the real gold secret, so it was naturally delivered to the emperor of Song Dynasty quickly.

Everyone knows that today's court meeting will inevitably revolve around this, and we have all done our homework accordingly.

"Your Majesty." Li Tingzhi spoke first, saying: "The war in Guangxi has stalled due to the food and grass problem. Now that Kublai Khan has died of illness, the Tartars must be terrified. I thought that I would make an effort to recover Yunnan and plan to conquer Sichuan."

"Where does the food and grass come from?" Zhao Shi asked.

Guangxi was plagued by the Hasan disaster for less than half a year and suffered heavy losses. The court spent a large amount of food for this purpose, which was really not enough to support the continued fighting.

Li Tingzhi replied: "I have coordinated with the Ministry of Household Affairs to transport part of the grain to Guangxi, and then the grain will be sent from Nanyue. Ningguo will send three thousand troops up the Red River to cooperate with the main force in the battle.

As for the north, after the recapture of Guide Mansion in Kaifeng, the advance was suspended in order to consolidate the local area.

In addition, Xie Xian's Ministry of Culture and Culture is advancing towards Yanshan and should withdraw to stabilize Liaodong and achieve Liaodong's self-sufficiency as soon as possible. "

"What's the opinion of the Privy Council?" Zhao Shi asked again.

Lu Xiufu replied: "Your Majesty, the opportunity must not be missed and it will never come back. Now Yuanluo's people are in panic. It is the time to make progress.

The north is flat and can be entered at any time. Yunnan is mountainous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. You should take advantage of the opportunity to attack. "

Obviously, the Cabinet and the Privy Council had discussed this.

Zhao Shi looked at Ma Tingluan and asked, "Can the Ministry of Household Affairs support this?"

Ma Tingluan replied: "The original military strategy was to defend in the south and attack in the north. We had prepared food and fodder for the two commanders Zhang and Jiang for two years. Now that the north has stopped, it can support Yunnan's [-]-strong army to fight for eight months."

Lu Xiufu continued: "The Privy Council believes that the whole territory of Yunnan cannot be taken within four months at most, and continuing to use troops is just a waste of food and fodder."

This is not crazy, but fact.

Judging from today's war cases, if it cannot be won in one go and becomes a stalemate, then it cannot be solved in a short time.

Zhao Shi knocked on the armrest and thought for a while, then said: "We will act according to the Privy Council's plan and mobilize the Dragon Guards south to assist in the battle."

"I obey the decree." Lu Xiufu agreed.

After the discussion was completed, the ministers dispersed to make preparations.

At this time, the front line did not receive the command from the central center, and of course continued to march according to the plan.

The 3-strong First Army supported by Jiang Cai left Jeju and headed straight for Huazhou.

Guide Prefecture blocks the Yellow River, while Huazhou blocks the north of Guide Prefecture. If Huazhou is lost, Guide Prefecture will end up being surrounded.

It doesn't matter in the summer, but it's terrible in the winter.

The river is frozen, so you can cross the river without sailing. If the Song army is willing to pay casualties, they will definitely be able to get in.

Therefore, the director of Guide Mansion, General Zhaoyong, the commander of the rear guards, and Pei Jinhu Fu Shihuan handed over the defense of Guide Mansion to Dalu Huachibulu lost in Hague, and led an army of [-] to reinforce Huazhou.

Bulu Haiya was a Uighur. His father, Bulu Haiya, enforced the law evenly when he was an official. He was cautious in using punishment. He was an honest man and had a deep Chinese culture. He later moved to Yannan as an official to the Lian Dynasty. His official title was "Incorruptible Envoy". The descendants took the Han surname "Lian".

Bul Hague had many sons. The most famous ones are Lian Ximin, the eldest son, who was the official official of Lu Xuanwei. The most accomplished one was Lian Xixian, the second son who fainted in front of Kublai Khan. The third son was Bu Lu. Lost in The Hague, his Chinese name is Lian Xishu.

Because of his family's academic background, the army and people of Guide Mansion were convinced. Even if Shi Huan left, Guide Mansion's defense could be guaranteed to be tight.

At this time, the Yellow River had not yet frozen. Su Liuyi, commander of the First Army, did not plan to attack Guide Mansion, but wanted to kill Shi Huanzhi.

It was October, the beginning of winter, and although the water hadn't turned into ice, the ground had already frozen hard. In addition to the haste, Shi Huan only had time to dig a trench outside the city.

After Su Liuyi arrived with his army, he set up camp at a high place and sent envoy He Qingfu to persuade them to surrender.

"Kublai Khan died in depression due to defeat in the war, just like the pseudo-Yuan Dynasty. The sun is declining, and he will be destroyed sooner or later. Moreover, the general is a Han, so he should rectify his origins and restore orthodoxy. In this way, he can provide for the people and support his family. Isn't it beautiful? "He Qingfu said.

Shi Huan sneered and said: "Three generations of my father and ancestors have been deeply blessed by the country. How can I be ungrateful?"

"The kindness of a general is no more than a small kindness. The great justice of the nation should be the most important thing..."

"National justice?" Shi Huan said disdainfully: "Zhao Gou didn't have any national justice in mind when he divided the north and the south. Isn't it ridiculous that he talks about national justice to me today?"

He Qingfu's eloquence was average, but he didn't know how to argue.

Zhao Paopao said that the southerners should return to the south and the northerners should return to the north, which completely hurt the hearts of the northern Han people, because such words meant that the northern Han people were not regarded as one of their own.

Su Liuyi reciprocated and said: "The matter has come to an end, I will see the real chapter.

Now that Kublai Khan has just died and Zhenjin is preparing to ascend the throne, Yuanting has no time to reinforce and must fight quickly. "

That night, Su Liuyi sent three regiments to attack from three sides.

Grenades cleared the way, and muskets covered the swordsmen and axemen who came forward to fight, and the trenches outside the city were captured in a fierce battle all night.

After dawn, Shi Huan organized a counterattack, but was blocked by the Song army.

At night again, the Song army changed its troops and continued to fight at night. At dawn, the vanguard camp ascended the city, but unexpectedly Shi Huan blew down the city wall and the entire battalion was wiped out.

Su Liuyi was furious and sent his troops to fight again.

Without the city wall, Shi Huan defended the house on Jie Road and launched a brutal street battle with the Song army.

It must be said that Shi Huanbu had a strong will to fight, but with a battle loss ratio of two to one, he only lasted ten days and was already on the verge of defeat.

As Song Ting expected, Yuan Ting was too busy preparing for the enthronement of gold and had no intention of paying attention to the war and did not send reinforcements.

Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Shi Huan could only summon the army of Guide Mansion to come for reinforcements. Anyway, Huazhou was lost and Guide Mansion could not hold it at all.

Lian Xishu left, and Guide Mansion welcomed Song Jun in.

No matter how high the reputation is, no matter how generous the favor is, it will still be cool when people leave.

Not only that, everyone in the Guide Mansion identified Shi Huanlian and Xishu's soldiers and their families, so that the Song army could shake the morale of the army.

The family members called people outside the city and killed them if they did not surrender. This was once a common move used by the Yuan army.

Now that the Song army was used, the Yuan army's morale was shaken, and there was a large-scale absconding incident that night.

After discussing with Lian Xishu, Shi Huan believed that if the imperial court did not send reinforcements, sooner or later the entire army defending Huazhou would be wiped out.

The two of them were not afraid of death, but it was not worth it to die like this, so they led their troops to retreat.

Huazhou and Guide Mansion started, and Jiang Cai immediately sent 3000 people down the Yellow River to Kaifeng Mansion.

There is no need to hurry in occupying Kaifeng City. The main purpose is to inspect the Yellow River embankment to prevent the Yuan army from laying gunpowder to blow up the river embankment.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty were panic-stricken and did not make this arrangement. After repeated confirmation, Jiang Cai led [-] troops to Kaifeng.

Of course, Kaifeng at this time was not as prosperous as it was in the Northern Song Dynasty. All the palaces in the city were demolished, only the inner city wall was still intact, and only a few huge stones remained in Genyue outside the city.

However, Kaifeng has always been the capital, which is of great significance.
