Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 469: The Hebei army arrives and surprises Lin'an Mansion

"I am waiting for the Han military princes from Hebei to pay homage to the King of Guanzhong." Under the leadership of Shi Tianze, Liu Heima and others, a large group of Han princes from Hebei knelt on the ground and spoke to Zhang Yong.

"Hahaha! You all have come from afar, follow me into the house quickly. I have prepared a banquet for you and others!" Zhang Yong laughed and introduced a group of Han military princes from Hebei into the palace. .

This time, basically all the Han servants from Hebei came, and even a few Han servants who had not come before came to the Guanzhong Palace at this time. The originally planned army of 50,000 was expanded to 60,000.

There's no way, it's one moment and another. The previous Tuo Lei family was still somewhat powerful, and many Han military princes still held on to a glimmer of hope.

After all, in the eyes of many Han nobles, Zhang Yong's status is similar to theirs, and they all defected to Genghis Khan. But who would have thought that they were princes, while he was a prince.

This made many people feel unbalanced, and they were even very hostile to Zhang Yong at the beginning.

But who would have thought that Genghis Khan would favor Zhang Yong? Unexpectedly, the second generation Khan Ogedai also had great trust in Zhang Yong.

The land of Sichuan, Shu, and the Central Plains were also handed over to the King of Guanzhong for management, making the King of Guanzhong even more powerful.

After returning from the Western Expedition, Wokuotai sweated profusely and became seriously ill. There was a phenomenon of various sons competing for the throne in Mongolia. As a result, the king of Guanzhong tried to reverse Kuangbo and supported Wokuotai's eldest son to take the throne.

After the third generation of Great Khan Guiyou came to power, he also favored the King of Guanzhong. He completely handed over the Central Plains to the King of Guanzhong and also conquered Shandong.

Now the power of the King of Guanzhong can already influence the situation of the entire world, and even determine the replacement of the Mongolian Khan to a certain extent.

This time, without the help of the King of Guanzhong and the sending of troops by the King of Guanzhong, it would not be so easy for the Mongol Khan Guiyou to ascend to the throne.

Several Han princes who had not been able to see the situation clearly before finally saw the situation in the world clearly after the Tuolei family was granted the favor order.

In order to please the King of Guanzhong, this time, several Han princes who had not come before brought all their troops.

The purpose is to show off in front of the King of Guanzhong to make up for the bad impact caused by their absence before.

For these Han princes who came over, Zhang Yong did not give them any look. Instead, he treated them equally and invited them into the palace.

After all, they came here with an army, and their sincerity was sufficient. If I tried to show off to them, it would appear that I had fallen behind.

At this time, a grand banquet had been prepared in the palace, and various exquisite delicacies were placed on the dining table. Zhang Dingguan, the eldest son of the King of Guanzhong, and his mother Tu Lanlun. Wo Kuotai's daughter Xiaoyun also appeared to accompany him.

"Generals, please take your seats quickly!" Tu Lanlun said.

"Meet the prince of Guanzhong, meet the eldest princess and the second princess." A group of Han princes from Hebei immediately saluted together.

"Generals, there is no need to be polite." Zhang Dingguan said.

"The eldest prince, you are really young and promising. This time on the grassland, we have all heard about your deeds." Shi Tianze looked at the tall young man in front of him and said with a smile on his face.

This time, the Mongolian grassland was in turmoil, and the Tuo Lei family was severely punished.

Now basically, it is impossible to create any more waves. Of course, unless the Tuo Lei family starts to rebel, otherwise, complete decline will be waiting for them.

But now that you are rebelling, Shi Tianze can only say that you are seeking death. This great prince of Guanzhong is also a rare talent!
Sometimes when the people he follows, his descendants and descendants have capable people, it is also a good thing for the subordinates who follow him.

"Thank you for the compliment, sir. You are really complimenting me. I just went to the grassland to welcome my bride. I owe this to Guyuk Khan and my father's great help." Zhang Dingguan said.

"First Prince, you're welcome. You are a young talent, and your achievements in the future will definitely be as good as your father's." A Han nobleman said.

"The eldest prince is both civil and military, and he is a genius in this world."

"I am so lucky to meet the eldest prince today!"

A bunch of Han princes come up and brag! It even made Zhang Dingguan feel a little uncomfortable.

This was said so nicely that it made me feel a little bit carried away.

"Okay! Everyone, please take your seats! We won't talk about business today, and we won't come home until we're drunk." Zhang Yong smiled and helped his son out.

Guide all the Han people to their seats.

"The King of Guanzhong is hosting a banquet, how can we not get drunk?"

"I will definitely come home drunk today."

"The King of Guanzhong has an order, how can we not get drunk?"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Yong.

Holy shit! This bunch of guys are pretty good at flattering! It was so comfortable for me to take the photo.

The banquet that day was so successful that the Han Shihou of Hebei almost praised Zhang Yong himself to heaven this time.

The message conveyed to Zhang Yong is also very clear. They, the Han princes in Hebei, will swear allegiance to the King of Guanzhong from now on. If the King of Guanzhong says to attack the east, they will attack the east. If the King of Guanzhong says to attack the west, they will attack the west. If the King of Guanzhong says to go south, they will fight to the west. , they went south.

However, even though his words sounded nice, Zhang Yong still decided deep down in his heart that after the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed, he would still seize their military power.

If he takes the initiative to hand it over, then he will let him become a marquis, enjoy the glory and wealth, and benefit future generations.

But if you are unwilling to hand over military power and still want to be the emperor of the country, haha! Then I'm sorry. The Guanzhong army will arrive soon.

However, there are still some smart people among this group of Han princes in Hebei, who know that they can hold military power in troubled times.

But once the unification is completed, if you don't hand over military power, you will be dead. I believe many of them will make a very correct choice.

At noon the next day, Zhang Yong met with Liu Heima and Shi Tianze, two Han princes, in his palace study. These two men were the commanders and mobilizers of the Hebei army this time.

In addition to these two people, there are also two important Mongolian generals under his command, Cha Tuohua and Bater, as well as their eldest son.

But it turns out that Lu Tu, as the son of Battle, was also named Qian Hu by Zhang Yong. After all, one cannot favor one over the other. Both of them have made great contributions to themselves.

Just let these two boys follow their son together, with Zhang Rou watching them, there shouldn't be any big problem.

In addition to these people, Zhang Rou, a general from the Central Plains, Xu Haifeng, Zhenhua Xing, and Zhang Danshen, a general from Guanzhong, were all present.

"You two, you said before that you would bring 50,000 troops and horses, but you didn't expect that this time you would bring more than 60,000 people. I have to prepare 10,000 more people with food and grass, hahaha." Zhang Yong looked at Shi Tianze and said Liu Heima and Liu Heima said with a smile.

This time, his troops have been fully prepared and assembled.

The 30,000-strong army in Hanzhong is well prepared, and the Chongqing Prefecture's 20,000-strong navy and more than 20,000 troops on the Yangtze River are also well-prepared.

In the direction of Chongqing Prefecture, Zhang Yong built more than three giant warships, each of which was more than 20 meters long and six to seven meters wide.

Eight heavy cannons can be placed side by side on the deck, and two heavy cannons can be placed on the bow and stern. In addition, fire-breathing weapons that can spray Greek fire are also set up on the bow and stern.

When approaching an enemy ship at close range, it can spray out blazing fire, which can burn even on the water.

Zhang Yong's eldest son, Chatuohua's eldest son but Debuhua, and Bater's eldest son Lutu each led a thousand troops and followed Zhang Yong's eldest son Zhang Dingguan.

In the Central Plains area, Zhang Yong's Guanzhong army gathered 100,000 troops, and the Central Plains army had 50,000 troops. Plus the 60,000 troops of the Han Shihou in Hebei Province, there were a full 210,000 main troops. This is much more troops than he originally planned to mobilize at the beginning. There is no way. In this year, his strength in Guanzhong has increased somewhat. After all, he has swallowed up a lot of territory and recruited a lot of troops.

Now just waiting for Zhang Yong's order, several armies can launch an attack on the Southern Song Dynasty at the same time.

At the same time, grain and grass reserves in various places have been completed. The closest place to Xiangyang is Tangzhou controlled by Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong has already stored a large amount of grain and grass there in advance and arranged for 50,000 Central Plains troops to protect the grain and grass of the three armies in Tangzhou.

"King Guanzhong! According to your wishes, we are going to divide our troops into four groups. The other three groups are all feint attacks, and our army of more than 200,000 people is the main force to attack and besiege Xiangyang, right?" Shi Tianze asked.

This strategy was good. The navy of Chongqing Prefecture could contain some of the navy of the Southern Song Dynasty and reduce their attack pressure. In Shi Tianze's view, even if the navy was trained, it would still be at a disadvantage when facing the Southern Song Dynasty.

"We can send troops from the Hanzhong area around Fengling and attack Junzhou. If we can break through Jingzhou City, we can join us and attack Xiangyang Prefecture together." Liu Heima said.

"Well! These two armies are mainly going to deal with the Southern Song Dynasty Navy. However, they will not be in Junzhou, but will attack Jiangling Mansion and Changde Mansion." Zhang Yong said.

The commanders of these two armies were Xu Haifeng, Zhang Danshen, Zhenhuaxing and others. In fact, Zhang Yong originally wanted to send Guo Kan there.

However, Guo Kan was from the north, so it would not be good for him to command the navy. As for the 30,000-strong army in Hanzhong, he was a newly promoted general after all. If he was allowed to command an army alone, it would be inevitable that the army would be dissatisfied.

It's better to follow him to attack Xiangyang Mansion!
"Well! This time, ours is the main force. We must capture Xiangyang and completely tear apart their Yangtze River defense line." Zhang Yong said.

The Yangtze River waterway only plays a diversionary role.

"King of Guanzhong! The land of Xiangfan is a key defensive area in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is not easy to fight. Although we have an army of 200,000, I estimate that we will be besieged for at least half a year." Shi Tianze thought for a moment and said.

This time the troops are indeed sufficient, but attacking Xiangyang Mansion is not that simple. The terrain of Xiangyang Mansion is really too tricky. Here is a real barrier where one man is in charge and no one can get past it.

If you want to take this city, you must attack head-on. The city's solidity and geographical location are not even inferior to Tongguan.

The outcome of this war still depends on whether the other three armies can capture it. How much land was there in the Southern Song Dynasty? If the armies in Hanzhong and the Yangtze River Basin could defeat the Southern Song Navy.

Then we can capture Jiangling Prefecture and Changde Prefecture. As for Chuzhou, if we can capture Yangzhou and then attack Jiankang Prefecture, we will directly threaten Lin'an Prefecture.

"No, I can defeat Xiangyang City in a month at most." Zhang Yong waved his hand and said.

It doesn't even take a month. This time, Zhang Yong plans to use his secret weapons, including rockets and heavy artillery, and sometimes it doesn't necessarily require an absolute storm to open Xiangyang Mansion.

Zhang Yong had already made some secret preparations. Starting a few years ago, even before returning from the Western Expedition, he had his assassin army disguised as refugees and enter Xiangyang Mansion, and then began to settle down and lurk.

At that time, your assassin legion can completely sneak into the city, and then secretly open the city gate at night and let your army enter the city.

During the day, he used firearms to carry out wild bombings, putting the defenders of Xiangyang Mansion into a state of exhaustion.

"One month? King Guanzhong, I'm afraid we won't be able to capture Xiangyang Mansion within one month! Even if we capture it, we will suffer heavy losses." Liu Heima stood up and said.

If you want to capture Xiangyang Mansion within a month, it will be a war like a meat grinder, completely filled with human lives.

"You will know when the time comes, and I will give it a try first." Zhang Yong said.

I still have a bunch of spies staying in Xiangyang Mansion! I put a lot of effort into inserting these spies.

And even without these spies, with my current firepower, it is enough to blow open Xiangyang Mansion. In the original history, Kublai Khan of the Mongol Empire mobilized people from Persia to make the most advanced artillery at the time, and then defeated Xiangyang Mansion. Xiangyang Mansion.

And the firearms he owns now are not the Mongolian return artillery in the original history. Even now, the firepower of the entire Mongolia has been improved by several levels under his own changes.

"Father! I think I can lead a cavalry and, after capturing Yangzhou, directly attack Lin'an Prefecture in a detour and directly threaten the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty." Zhang Dingguan gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground, and said.

"King of Guanzhong! The last general is willing to follow the eldest prince to raid Lin'an Mansion." But Debuhua and Lu Tu also knelt on the ground and said to Zhang Yong.

Each of them has more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry, plus the five thousand cavalry of the Guanzhong prince, and the Han army led by Zhang Rou. As long as they can break through Yangzhou Prefecture, they can threaten Lin'an Prefecture.

"If you want to attack Lin'an Prefecture by surprise, you must act quickly when attacking Yangzhou, and your losses must not be large.

Moreover, they have to deal with the support and sneak attacks from the Health Palace, which is not far from Yangzhou. "Zhang Yong said.

This bastard boy is still thinking about sneak attack on Lin'an, and the two Mongolian boys are actually enthusiastic about it.

Your cavalry force only has more than 7,000 people. Even if you combine the Chuzhou and some Central Plains cavalry together, it will only be more than 8,000 people, less than 10,000 people.

These people will definitely lose some when they attack Yangzhou. If they want to attack again and raid Lin'an Prefecture, Shaoxing Prefecture and Kangkang Prefecture, they can immediately send reinforcements to support them.

"King Guanzhong! My subordinates think this plan is very clever. The eldest prince's plan is feasible." Shi Tianze rolled his eyes and said.

With more than 200,000 troops attacking Xiangyang Prefecture, the Southern Song Dynasty will definitely send a large army to support Xiangyang Prefecture. The troops in other places will definitely be empty, and only Yangzhou City will send heavy troops to defend it.

As long as Yangzhou City can be captured quickly, then we can march straight in to attack Lin'an Mansion. Moreover, who said we must attack? As long as they appeared at the gate of Lin'an Prefecture with thousands of cavalry, they could scare the emperor and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty to death.

The emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty must have been too frightened by then. Either escape, or mobilize Xiangyang's army to return quickly for rescue. As long as Xiangyang's army dares to leave, Xiangyang Mansion will be breached by them.

"Shi Junhou, what do you mean? Do you think this strategy of attacking Lin'an Mansion is feasible?" Zhang Yong looked at Shi Tianze and asked.

"It's absolutely feasible. King Guanzhong, if you are worried, I can follow the eldest prince to attack Yangzhou Mansion.

If we can attack Yangzhou Prefecture in the short term and suffer little losses, we can directly threaten Lin'an. Shi Tianze said.

Although King Guanzhong said he was very confident, he still wanted to attack Lin'an Mansion by surprise.

"Tell me about your strategy. You don't really want to attack Lin'an Mansion, right?" Zhang Yong asked.

"King Guanzhong, no matter how many people, even if there are only a few thousand cavalry, appear under the city of Lin'an Prefecture and let the people of Lin'an Prefecture see it, then the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty will either run away or recall the troops from Xiangyang Prefecture.

If he escapes, the morale of the entire Southern Song Dynasty will plummet. This is a good thing for us. If the Southern Song Dynasty mobilizes troops from Xiangyang to return reinforcements.

Then the defensive strength of Xiangyang City will be empty, which is equivalent to handing over Xiangyang City to us.

A dilapidated Xiangyang City, and an intact Xiangyang City, which one would you choose, King of Guanzhong? "Shi Tianze said.

"Well! Let's do this! You are leading the 10,000 Hebei army, serving as my eldest son's military advisor, and going to Chuzhou with him." Zhang Yong said.

Okay, let your son try it, with Shi Tianze here and Zhang Rou, a veteran.

There will be no problem. As for Xiangyang Mansion, you will know when I conquer Xiangyang.

This time, the guard of Xiangyang Mansion should be Meng Gong, the last pillar of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he will finally fight against him.

Speaking of which, it has been twenty years since I traveled through time. In these twenty years, I have transformed from a young man in his twenties to a middle-aged man in his forties.

From a young man, he grew up to be a father and a prince.

Now he can command hundreds of thousands of troops, launch a campaign to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, and completely bring this disgusting dynasty to a dead end.
