Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

At this time in the Song Dynasty, the court hall was filled with gloom and gloom. Such a scene had already happened once last year. At that time, the Guanzhong army was attacking the Red Coat Army in Shandong.

After some deliberation, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty finally decided not to rescue the Red Coat Army, and watched helplessly as the entire Shandong was captured by the King of Guanzhong. Then the King of Guanzhong launched an undeclared war and directly attacked Chuzhou, causing the Southern Song Dynasty to lose the important town of Chuzhou.

The entire Huaihe River defense line was torn open. During this year, the Guanzhong army assembled heavy troops in the direction of Chuzhou and even built many warships, with the intention of crossing the river.

Yangzhou City, which is closest to Chuzhou, has directly become the front line. The entire Jianghuai defense line has been faced with huge challenges, and various strategies have to be redeployed to shrink the entire defense line.

Even the defense line in Xiangfan was somewhat affected and had to make some adjustments and changes.

"Have you heard everything clearly? Is the news accurate? The army in Guanzhong is really going to attack our Southern Song Dynasty?" Song Emperor Zhao Yun sat on the dragon chair, holding his head and said.

Despair, since he came to the throne, he has never received a piece of good news, especially when he was facing off against the King of Guanzhong.

Unexpectedly, this time the Guanzhong army, which had just been dormant for a year, was about to invade again.

"Back to the official, we have confirmed that the King of Guanzhong is gathering troops from the Central Plains, Hebei, and Guanzhong Three Roads. It is estimated that he will lead his troops south to attack Xiangfan this year." A general gritted his teeth, stood up and said.

Xiangyang is an important town in their Yangtze River defense line. If Xiangyang City is lost, the entire Yangtze River defense line will collapse, and the Guanzhong army can march straight in.

"In the direction of Chuzhou, the Guanzhong army is also gathering heavy troops, and the magistrate of Yangzhou is also asking for help from the imperial court, asking for reinforcements to be sent to defend the Yangzhou area." A civilian official stood up and said.

"The officials, magistrates and defenders of the Yangtze River, Jianghuai and other basins also reported that the Guanzhong army built a large number of warships in Chongqing Prefecture and accumulated heavy troops.

There seemed to be signs of an attack from there, so reinforcements were requested. "Another civil servant said.

Now there are signs of war in more than one place. The Guanzhong army seems to be fighting on multiple fronts this time and launching an attack on the Song Dynasty.

"The Guanzhong army in the direction of Hanzhong is also gathering, and there are strong signs of sending troops from Hanzhong." A civilian official said.

There is no way, there is indeed no good news, but there is more than one bad news.

Zhao Yun didn't know what to say when he heard the news. People from all over the country were asking for troops and reinforcements.

It is said everywhere that the Guanzhong army is gathering, so where is the main force in Guanzhong? Are you guys just eating dry food?

"Who is the commander in charge of the defense in Xiangyang area?" Zhao Yun said.

"Reporting back to the official family, it is the army led by General Meng Gong. All defenses in the Xiangyang area and the commander-in-chief of the three armies are General Meng." A military general stood up and said.

Now the only person in the entire Song Dynasty who can hold up the sky is this General Meng. During the last Mongol army's southern expedition, it was this General Meng who led the troops to defeat the Mongol army.

He even killed the son of the Mongol Khan Ogedei at that time. He had been taking charge of the defense in Xiangyang over the years and established a perfect opposite defense system.

They also recruited local troops to build an army, strengthen city defenses, and raise food and grass.

Meng Gong's behavior was indeed suspected of being self-reliant in the eyes of some civil servants in the Southern Song Dynasty. However, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty also knew that at this moment, military generals could no longer be used. The treatment of military generals has also become slightly better in the Southern Song Dynasty in recent years. .

"With General Meng in charge of the defense of the Xiangfan area, I have no worries." Zhao Yun nodded and said. (Chinese emperors usually call themselves "I" to demonstrate the supremacy of imperial power. However, in the Song Dynasty, emperors began to call themselves "officials" and "little people".)
He still very much agreed with Meng Gong's military talents. Now there are not many generals in the Song Dynasty who can fight. This Meng Gong is one person, and several generals under him are also very capable.

In the past few years, we have been operating in Xiangfan for many years and established a complete defense system. General Meng Gong once said that even if the Mongolian army was ten times the enemy, he could block it.

Moreover, after years of reinforcement and construction, Xiangyang City is no longer what it used to be, and it is not afraid of the attack of the Guanzhong army.

Therefore, Zhao Yun is not worried about the defense issues in the Xiangyang area. The only thing he is more worried about is the Yangtze River Basin and the direction of Chuzhou and Huaihe River.

It's okay in the Yangtze River Basin. All we need to do is send some more warships and let the local troops do a good job of defense.

Although the army in Guanzhong has been training its navy in recent years, it is still far behind compared to their navy in the Song Dynasty.

In Zhao Yun's opinion, it was absolutely impossible to defeat the Southern Song Dynasty in the navy.

Their Southern Song army will be defeated by your Mongolian cavalry, and your infantry will be defeated by your Guanzhong, but when it comes to playing naval, the Song Dynasty can still come up with something.

This is also the only army in the Song Dynasty that they can take action against.

The reason why the Song Dynasty was able to settle in a corner of the south was because of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and the powerful navy, which successfully blocked the Jin army from moving south.

As for the Hanzhong area, which is also part of the Xiangfan defense line, it can be left to General Meng Gong to handle on his own, and it is said that there are not too many troops in the Hanzhong area.

The only thing to worry about now is the defense issue in the direction of Chuzhou.

The direction of Chuzhou can directly attack Yangzhou, and if Yangzhou City is breached, the range that the Guanzhong army can attack will be too much.

Even his Lin'an Mansion will be directly exposed to Guanzhong's view, and Guanzhong's cavalry can go south at any time.

At that time, the entire capital of the Song Dynasty will be exposed to the iron hoof of the Guanzhong army. The Guanzhong army has a large number of cavalry troops. After all, it has Mongolia at its back.

"Yangzhou City must strengthen its defense and send another 20,000 troops to support Yangzhou City. In addition, some newly developed flint cannons and thunderbolt cannons will be sent over." Zhao Xun said.

Yangzhou City originally had 30,000 defenders. If another 20,000 defenders were sent, the total force would reach 50,000. If 50,000 people could not hold on, Yangzhou City should be able to defend it.

After all, it is inferred based on the existing information. This time, the main goal of the Guanzhong army is to attack Xiangyang, and the Xiangfan defense line is the top priority.

"I will obey the orders of the officials." A group of civil servants and generals knelt on the ground and said.

There was no need for the court to worry about the defense of the Xiangfan area. Meng Gong led the Meng family army to garrison the area. In the Yangtze River Basin, the Southern Song Dynasty navy had absolute confidence that as long as the Guanzhong King's navy dared to show their presence, they would be wiped out.

"I hope God will protect me, the Song Dynasty, and I can survive this disaster safely." Zhao Yun said.

"Officials! Why do you need to gain the prestige of others and destroy your own morale? I think the Song Dynasty will win this battle." A civil servant named Li Quan stood up and said.

"Oh! Master Li means! I, the Song Dynasty, will win this battle." A military general stood up and asked.

We generals don’t have confidence. Where do you get your confidence?

You must know that the Guanzhong army has a full 250,000 people, which is not a small number, and this time the Guanzhong King came with the determination to destroy their Song Dynasty.

It can be said that the attack is fierce, the soldiers and horses are strong, how come it comes to your mouth, I, the Song Dynasty, will win this battle.

"Hmph, I think that even if the enemy army is defeated ten times, our army will be victorious ten times." The civil servant surnamed Li touched his beard and said.

All the civil and military officials in the court were confused when they heard this. They didn't know what kind of tricks this Master Li was playing, what kind of ten wins and ten losses? (The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has not yet been released at this time! And Guo Jia has never proposed ten wins and ten losses in history.)
"Master Li, can you tell me which of my ten victories I have?"

"Official family! My great Song Dynasty monarch and ministers are united, this is a victory.

Our Song Dynasty has strong soldiers and strong horses. This is the second victory. The army and the people share the same hatred and fight against the enemy. This is the third victory!

The Guanzhong army has been fighting for many years. It has long been depleted of men and horses, and the people are in dire straits. This is the fourth victory of our army.

The Guanzhong army came from afar. Our defense lines in Xiangfan and the Yangtze River Basin are impregnable. This is our army's fifth victory.

The King of Guanzhong is just a puppet king conferred by Mongolia, just like the puppet Qi State supported by the Jin State. It seems to be powerful, but in fact it is strong on the outside and weak on the inside. This is the sixth victory of our army. The King of Guanzhong is arrogant and arrogant. He has been humiliated by officials many times. He is not a master of the Ming Dynasty. This is the seventh victory of the Song Dynasty.

The Mongolian grassland is internally unstable. The new Great Khan Guiyou has just ascended the throne and cannot concentrate all his strength to attack the Song Dynasty southward. This is our army's eighth victory.

The Guanzhong army is composed of Mongolian cavalry, soldiers from Guanzhong, and soldiers from Hebei. The Mongolian multidimensional cavalry is at a disadvantage when marching to our south.

The name of the Hebei army is not a direct descendant of the King of Guanzhong, but the army that surrendered to the King of Guanzhong not long ago.

The enemy seems to be powerful, but in fact the army has different factions. When a war breaks out, they will definitely not be able to command under a unified command. This is our army's ninth victory.

Our navy of the Song Dynasty is unparalleled in the world. The army in Guanzhong actually tried to attack from the Yangtze River. Our navy used short attacks to attack the long ones. This is our army's tenth victory.

Officials and other gentlemen, you say that with such ten victories, how could the Song Dynasty lose? "Master Li touched his beard and said proudly.

These were the top ten victories that he had thought about for several nights. Soon there would also be the top ten defeats of Guan Zhongwang!
"Master Li's theory of ten victories does have merit. The Guanzhong army seems to be powerful, but in fact it has many internal problems. Our Song Navy is unbeatable." A civil servant nodded and said.

"Hahaha! Mr. Li said it well. We cannot destroy our own prestige and enhance the ambition of others. Then tell us about the ten defeats of the Guanzhong army?" Zhao Yun was also very happy after hearing the so-called ten victories.

is not that right? This time is different. In previous battles with the Guanzhong army, their Southern Song army was mostly offensive and less defensive.

The only things that were lost were the land of Sichuan and Shu and the city of Chuzhou. This was only due to a sneak attack by the Guanzhong army. In terms of defense against them, no one in the Southern Song Dynasty was afraid of?
As for taking the land of Sichuan and Shu, it was also a sneak attack, and it took advantage of the main force of his Southern Song army to support the Jin Kingdom.

"Hahaha! When the Guanzhong army came from afar, they were not acclimated to the soil and environment. The northern soldiers were not acclimated to the soil and environment of the south. This was their first defeat.

The navy trained by the King of Guanzhong seems to be extremely powerful, but in fact it is just trained by a group of Western barbarians, and the shipbuilding technology is also passed down by the Western barbarians. How can it compare with my master of the Hundred Wars of the Great Song Dynasty? This is the second defeat.

The Mongolian cavalry was extremely cruel. Our people on the front line, as well as all the soldiers, fought against the enemy with all their hearts, occupying the right time, place and people. This was the third defeat of the Guanzhong army.

We have many powerful generals in the Southern Song Dynasty. General Meng is as brave as Yue Wumu in his time. This is the fourth defeat of the King of Guanzhong.

The officers and soldiers of the three armies of our Song Dynasty all served their lives, the people were united, the morale of the defenders in various places was high, and there was plenty of food and grass. This was the fifth defeat of the Guanzhong army.

The situation in Mongolia is unstable, and the newly succeeded Mongol Khan Guiyou has been deceived by the King of Guanzhong. We can send envoys to instigate the Mongol Khan.

Explaining the stakes made the Mongolian Khan suspicious of the King of Guanzhong. This was the sixth defeat of the Guanzhong army.

Our Song Dynasty is surrounded by the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and the defense line of the Huaihe River. It is a place where one man can guard the pass and ten thousand men cannot break it. This is the seventh defeat of the army in Guanzhong.

In our Great Song Dynasty, the officials are clean and honest, the military generals are brave and resourceful, and officials from all over the country are courageous and insightful people. This is the eighth defeat of the Guanzhong army.

The officials love the people like their own children, and they are sage kings through the ages. They are no worse than the emperors of Qin and Han Dynasty. How can they be compared to the false king in Guanzhong?
This was the ninth defeat of the King of Guanzhong.

The official is the emperor, our Song Dynasty is the orthodoxy of the world, and we have the blessing of God. This battle is under the blessing of God, how can we, the Song Dynasty, fail?
This is the tenth defeat of the King of Guanzhong. With ten victories and ten defeats, can't our army be victorious? "Li Quan said.

As soon as these words came out, the whole house was filled with applause. A large number of civil servants began to raise their hands and applaud. Even the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Yun, was very happy to hear this.

"Master Li said it well! I admire Master Li's literary talent endlessly."

"Hahahahaha! Mr. Li has great advice. With ten wins and ten defeats, our Song Dynasty will definitely win Guanzhong in this battle."

A large group of civil servants immediately surrounded Li Quan, their faces glowing red, as if they had already won after ten victories and ten defeats.

Li Quan is right, he is an eternal sage, and he is the True Dragon Emperor! With God's blessing, Zhao Yun sat on the dragon chair with a smile on his face.

Comparing himself to Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, this sounds really comfortable!

Only some far-sighted generals looked a little unhappy at this time. What the man named Li said was indeed very nice and made people feel comfortable upon hearing it, but there were only a few useful things in it.

It's just a summary of the strength and weakness between the enemy and ourselves, and it's just a bragging about the civil and military affairs of the dynasty, as well as the officials. Such people are just flattering people. It can also be in this court.

well! This battle is fierce for the Song Dynasty!

"That's right. Over in Mongolia, the new generation of Great Khan has just succeeded to the throne. We can send an envoy to lobby, saying that the King of Guanzhong has long been rebellious and let the Mongolian army go south to attack the King of Guanzhong." Zhao Yun said. .

He is also a ruler, so he naturally understands the consequences of a minister holding a general meeting. The current power of the King of Guanzhong is not even much worse than that of the previous Jin Kingdom.

With such a powerful prince beside him, and as a ruler, Zhao Yun did not think that the new Mongol Khan would allow Zhang Yong to expand his power.

"Officials! The minister is willing to use his sharp tongue to persuade the Mongolian Khan to recall the King of Guanzhong or raise troops to attack Guanzhong." Li Quan said.

This time, I have to make a miraculous achievement that will last forever.

When future generations read history books, they will definitely leave a mark. Everyone knows that it was Li Quan who proposed the theory of ten victories and ten defeats. He even went north to Mongolia, persuaded the Mongolian Khan, and defeated the Guanzhong army. The country of the Song Dynasty.

"Li Qing's family! You are really a good minister! Then I will help you to go to Mongolia as an envoy. I will arrange a warship to go directly to the waterway to send you to the homeland of the Jin Kingdom, and then go to Mongolia from the homeland of the Jin Kingdom. Grassland." Zhao Yun said.

The territory of the King of Guanzhong will definitely not be accessible, so we can only go by water. Moreover, on the grassland, the Tuo Lei family is said to be at odds with the King of Guanzhong, so they will definitely let them go.

"Please rest assured, officials, I will definitely convince the new Mongolian Khan Guiyou." Li Quan knelt on the ground and said.

"Well! It's up to you, Li Aiqing. I'm waiting for your good news at Lin'an Mansion." Zhao Yun said.

Did you see that our Song Dynasty also had such brave and resourceful people who dared to go north to the Mongolian grassland alone?

First go to meet the new Mongolian Khan.

"Officials! In addition to sending envoys, you can also send an envoy to the King of Guanzhong. Just say that the Song Dynasty is willing to surrender to the King of Guanzhong and ask him to give us a period of half a year or three months to fight for more troops for the Song Dynasty. More time will also buy time for Mr. Li to go north to the Mongolian grassland." A civil servant stood up and said.

"We, the Song Dynasty, have sent envoys before to make peace with the King of Guanzhong, but we didn't even see the King of Guanzhong. I'm afraid it will be in vain to send envoys again this time." A second-grade civil servant said.

"Today is different from the past. What's more, this envoy is here to surrender. I, the Song Dynasty, bowed my head to the King of Guanzhong. How could he not see it?" A civil servant said.

"This plan is very clever, I second it!"

No matter what the envoy comes to surrender, you must meet the King of Guanzhong! As long as you meet, you can delay us for a while.

This is a very good strategy, at least all the civil servants of the Southern Song Dynasty thought so.

"Okay! Then send another envoy to the Guanzhong Palace to meet the Guanzhong King and say, I, the Song Dynasty, are willing to become a vassal state of the Guanzhong King." Zhao Xun said.

Soon, the Southern Song Dynasty court mobilized, and military rations from various places began to be mobilized to prepare for the final mobilization of the war.

More than ten days later, the 50,000-strong Hebei army led by Shi Tianze, Liu Heima and others also arrived at Chang'an Mansion and joined Zhang Yong's Guanzhong army.

Zhang Yong has arranged for the 50,000 Hebei army to be stationed near Tongguan. Zhang Yong has also arranged for the army in the Central Plains to be stationed in Tangzhou, Dengzhou, Caizhou, and Yingzhou.

Some of the leading generals of the Hebei army also came to the Guanzhong Palace to pay homage to the Guanzhong King Zhang Yong. (End of chapter)
