The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 639 Boyan Ashu Hague (for subscription)

When the battle of Fenshuiguan gradually spread, not only the writer started his long-planned "killing operation", Yuanmeng Dadu also urgently formulated a new response plan.

Li Heng was trapped and Zhang Hongfan was killed.

Two of the strongest Yuan and Mongolian commanders who were not directly descended from Mongolia were defeated by the Song army successively, causing the entire city to be in an uproar.

The Great Yuan Dynasty, which was invincible in all wars from south to north, lost Jiangxi and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River inexplicably when Song Ting was about to be trampled to death.

More than one hundred thousand soldiers and horses are still unclear whether they are alive or dead. As the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan uttered a thunderous anger early in the court meeting.

When Kublai Khan got angry, the many nobles who controlled the Yuan Dynasty had no choice but to find a way to remedy it.

After much deliberation, this group of nobles who are first-class in fighting among themselves and have the lowest ability in leading the army can only use the method of raising the taller among the dwarfs, and push the matter to the general who is originally named the Generalissimo of the Southern Expedition. Boyan.

Why did you Boyan always show off?

Take down Xiangyang and Lin'an in the south today, and turn around and go to Yanran Mountain tomorrow to suppress the rebellion.

Since you are so good at playing, then you can continue to play.

It is rare for the chaotic senior officials of the Yuan Dynasty to form a high degree of unified opinion within a day, suggesting that Prime Minister Zuo Boyan immediately go south and return to Lin'an to dispatch troops and horses to fight the Song court again.

As for the others, none of them came out to fight.

Dadu, Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion.

Boyan had just returned from the desert grassland for less than a month. He originally thought that he could enjoy the happiness here, and waited until Zhang Hongfan was about to settle Song Ting, and then slowly went south to witness this historical moment.

But who knows that the plan can't keep up with the changes, Zhang Hongfan died in Fenshui Pass inexplicably less than half a month after he went south.

Once Zhang Hongfan died, all the pressure from Nanzheng fell on him, Boyan.

At noon, Boyan sat alone in the mansion for dinner, and the only one serving him was the old servant in the mansion, who was also an old soldier who had followed him and fought on the battlefield.

Seeing that the prime minister's complexion was not good, the old servant couldn't help talking a lot after pouring the wine: "My lord, when the Nanzheng was in danger, His Majesty and all the officials only trusted you. Why are you not happy?"

Happy?

If it was Zhang Hongfan who won the battle, Boyan might be very happy to invite him, the generalissimo, to see how to capture Yashan, but this meeting is because he can't even arouse the interest of drinking, and after holding the wine bowl for a while Still put down heavily:

"Li Heng and Zhang Hongfan were defeated one after another, how happy I am."

"My lord, how can they compare with you, you are the undefeated God of War of our Great Yuan Kingdom." The old servant is undoubtedly a loyal servant, but he doesn't understand Boyan's inner thoughts at all. It didn't work, but it made Boyan even more depressed.

Mars?

If it is only within the Yuanmeng tribe, he can indeed call himself a god of war with a cheeky face.

But look outside the Yuanmeng tribe?
Everyone in the court knew that the battle that he took Xiangyang was very beautiful, but only he understood that the battle was purely fought by the soldiers led by Liu Zheng.

If it hadn't been for rejecting Liu Zheng's invitation to continue going south at that time, and taking people secretly to capture the EZ according to Liu Zheng's strategy, the entire battlefield in Jingxiang and even Huainan would only be the stage for Liu Zheng alone.

This was the case in the First Battle of Xiangyang, and it was even more so in the attack on Lin'an without bloodshed.

As Marshal of the Southern Expedition, his biggest role is nothing more than to supervise the non-Yuan Mongolian commanders under him. As for letting him think of some ingenious strategies to defeat the enemy or tactics?
That's really embarrassing. The ten generations of ancestors have not passed down this gene.

At this moment, Boyan felt the pressure was overwhelming, and after putting down the wine bowl, he said harshly: "Go, invite Master Ashu to come, I want to discuss with him about the expedition."

After much deliberation, the helper that Boyan can think of at the moment is a general in Yuanmeng's own clan who is as famous as him.

Wuliangha Ashu.

.........

"What a bunch of useless idiots, they can't even take down a small Jiangxi."

"There is also a face officer who is a high-ranking second-rank officer, and he is no different from a waste."

Leaving aside the movement in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, at this time, on the Yangtze River from EZ to Poyang, a fleet of no less than [-] warships, large and small, was heading southward.

In the commanding main battleship of this fleet, a man with a black beard and a vicious look was holding a roasted pig's trotter in his hand, and he was cursing while eating.

"The temperature of the roasted elbow is also wrong. Hmph, the things made by Song people are not as good as my grassland son!"

With a mutter at the corner of his mouth, he threw the roasted pig's trotters out casually, and regardless of the greasy face, he yelled directly: "Go and ask, where are we all now? Is the boat that was sent out to check the situation back?"

This army that came from Xiangfan was exactly the elite navy left by Yuan Meng around Dongting.And the commander-in-chief of this army was none other than Pingzhang of the Annan Province of Yuanmeng, who once attacked Ali Haiya in Jingxiang together with Ashu and Boyan.

After the Battle of Xiangyang ended, Boyan took his people to the east to fight Lin'an, while Ali Haiya was left in Dongting to continue to preside over the follow-up matters in Xiangfan.

As a brave soldier on the battlefield, it was obviously not Ali Hague's wish to be left behind. This time, he knew his chance had come as soon as he received the defeat letter from Jiangxi and Lin'an.

In the past, Ali Hague always said that he was no less capable than Boyan and Ashu in terms of ability and credit, but not many people agreed, which made him lose face. Now Ali Hague hopes that he can be faster, and it is best to run into trouble tomorrow The soldiers of the Song Dynasty defeated the enemy with one blow.

At that time, he will be the savior on the battlefield of the Southern Expedition, and his status will definitely rise from being in charge of the small Jingxiang to a high-ranking official in the capital, and maybe even replace Boyan as the prime minister.

In this battle, he came with the confidence to win.

Because from the intelligence point of view, this time the Song navy raided, the warships they mobilized were actually dozens of warships, and it was all because of surprise that they were able to create such a big mess in Lin'an.

Ali Haiya felt that as long as he was not attacked by surprise, he would storm the Song army with an absolute superiority in strength, with dozens of warships in the area, and they would all sink into the river and feed the fish in a few days.

Just as Ali Hague strode to the edge of the deck, a lieutenant trotted over: "General, the scout boat ahead is back."

"Oh? Can you see the enemy army?"

"The sentry never mentioned it, they just rescued a group of sailors who retreated from Poyang."

The lieutenant shook his head and said, Ali Haiya immediately showed displeasure: "The Poyang water village also lost the battle? Let those sailors come to see me."

After a while, several sailors who looked like soaked chickens came to Ali Hai Hague, and explained the whole process of their defeat in detail.

As the whole process unfolded in front of Ali Hague, his expression finally changed: "Then the Song navy didn't defeat you on the lake? They tricked you into saving Longxing, and then set up an ambush on the way. As many as tens of thousands?"

Where is this naval warfare?
How could this be the strength of dozens of warships?
After Ali Hague finished listening, his entire face sank.
