This month, Ogedei appointed Guo Sheng, Fuzhu Lijiuzhu, Zhao Xiang and other generals as vanguards and followed the Kuo's middle army to fight south.

On the 1st of the month, Hu Bin, a former Guanghua zhishi army, fled for abandoning the city and was held accountable and sent to the Guangdong Burning Army for being imprisoned.

On the 6th, Douxiang reported: The border affairs are urgent, so no one can hold them responsible. "This scholar and official are afraid of the fault of the matter. I hope Your Majesty will work hard and make a decision, and promote and demote the Ming Dynasty. There is no omnipotent in the world. Your Majesty should adopt and use it together, and follow the talent and use it." Zhao Yun deeply agrees with it, "use his strengths and protect his weaknesses."

This month, Xiangyang Prefecture, the most important stronghold in the Jinghu area of ​​the Southern Song Dynasty, fell, the capital of Jingxi South Road. The central gate of the Southern Song Dynasty opened!

Xiangyang was originally Zhao Fan, the commander of Jinghu, the Southern Song Dynasty, who was in charge of Zhao Fan. In the face of the great enemy, Zhao Fan's nature was exposed. He was known as a famous general in the world, but he could not even handle internal problems well. The "Northern Army" was the Jurchen army that surrendered to the Southern Song Dynasty after the demise of the Jin Dynasty. They had the hatred of destroying the country with the Mongols and would truly contribute to the Southern Song Dynasty. However, Zhao Fan actually made mistakes again and again on various small issues, and the Northern Army rebelled one after another!

Zhao Fanben was the chief generals of the Northern Army, Wang Min, Li Boyuan, Fan Wenbin, Huang Guobi and others as their confidants. The Northern Army was above the Southern Army. The Southern Army was indignant and then strife. Zhao Fan lost his time to ease the imperial guards, which led to Wang Min and Li Boyuan finally set fire to burn the city and warehouses in Xiangyang and surrender to Mongolia. The Southern Army General Li Hu took advantage of the fire and plundered due to chaos, which led to Xiangyang being eventually trapped by the Mongolian army.

Xiangyang City is extraordinary. The city has the weapons and food that have been accumulating since Yue Fei's first Northern Expedition. For more than a hundred years, it has been rich and prosperous. The city is profound and is known as the best in the western frontier, but it has been turned into ashes! More than 47,000 officials and civilians, 00,000 wealth, and 40,000 military weapons. These accumulated over the decades are owned by Mongolia!

When the news came, the court was shocked. The left counselor Li Zongmian wrote a letter to "Jun, Fang, An, Qi, Guanghua and other states, and the wars were very fierce. However, the river surface was free of worries because of Xiangyang. Now that Xiangyang is lost, Jiangling is in danger, and Jiangling is in danger, the Yangtze River is not worth relying on. What I have been thinking about in the past is still in autumn and winter. What I have been thinking about now is only in the morning and evening! Once Jiangling is not guarded, the court will be worried about danger and death, so how can I regret it?"

On April, Wei Leweng was appointed as the pacifier of Jinghu South Road and the governor of Tanzhou. Wei Leweng resigned again and finally only took the title of Dongxiao Palace.

This month, the vast Mongolian Western Route Army broke through the Sui of Jingxi South Road, Ying and Jingmen Army of Jinghu North Road, and the Bingfeng pointed directly to Jiangling Mansion, the capital of Jinghu North Road! The Yangtze River defense line was in danger! In the hall, waiting for the lead of the censor Li Zongmian, all the officials of the Censorate Office wrote a letter together, asking the emperor to issue a mourning edict, and the ministers went to the national crisis together... Song Lizong then found Hanlin scholar Wu Yong and ordered him to draft a self-criticism. The inspector Wang Wan told Wu Yong that "it is indeed a mistake to use troops, but it should not be shown weakness. The edict should still be vigorous and vigorous, and the excitement should be touching." On the 7th, Song Lizong officially issued an edict to blame himself.

This month, under the leadership of Yelu Chucai, the Mongolian Empire once again carried out the work of checking household registration and rated taxes. Yelu Chucai ordered that every two households produce one kilogram of silk for official use. Five households produce one kilogram of silk for the family of nobles and ministers. The tax on the upper land is three and a half liters of land is three and a half liters of land is three and a half liters of land is two and a half liters of land is five and a half liters of land is five and a half liters of commercial tax. The court all thought it was too light, but Yelu Chucai said, "The practice is cool, and the disadvantages are still greedy. In the future, there will be those who will advance with profit, and now it is already serious."

On May 9, Zhao Kui was appointed as the commander of Huaidong and the governor of Yangzhou. Together with Chen Wei, the commander of the Yangtze River and the governor of Jiankang, and Shi Songzhi, the commander of Huaixi and the governor of Luzhou, he took on the important task of defense of Jianghuai!

In June, Yelu Chucai suggested: establish an editing office in Yanjing and a scripture book office in Pingyang to compile classics and history. Confucian scholar Liang Zhi was appointed as the chief officer, and Wang Wanqing and Zhao Zhu were the deputy chief officers.

In August, the Mongolian army on the Kuoluo West Road captured the Zaoyang army on the southwest road and the De'an Prefecture in Jinghubei Road. When the De'an Prefecture was captured, the Mongolian army captured an important prisoner: Zhao Fu, the Confucian master! Zhao Fu was determined to die at that time, and Yao Shu in the southern expedition force was persuaded. He also cited himself as a means of serving the Jin Kingdom in Xuzhou, but Xuzhou City was broken and he was captured. Yang Weizhong advised himself as an example. Now both of us have recruited a lot of Central Plains and South China in this army. The Confucian, Buddhist, Taoist, medical, and divination talents of the Song Dynasty. They also said that when the Zaoyang army was captured just now, the Mongolian general Temurdai wanted to all the scholars in the city, but he tried his best to make the other party take back his orders. He also assured Zhao Fu that "it is useless to die alone, and he will follow me to return to the north, and he will definitely be unable to protect him." Finally, Zhao Fu's thoughts of death were dispelled. After the southern expedition, Zhao Fu followed the army to the north and taught in Yanjing. From then on, Neo-Confucianism flourished in the north, and northerners also saw Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi's books.

In the middle of this summer, Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, was raining continuously. In September of the lunar calendar, thunder continued to shake again. On the 16th, thunder sounded. On the 17th, Song Lizong was amnesty. Heavy rain and thunder sounded. On the 19th, Song Lizong issued an edict to ask for a blunt statement. On the 1st, the left prime minister Zheng Qingzhi and the right prime minister Qiao Xingjian were dismissed from prime minister due to the current natural disasters and man-made disasters. Cui Yuzhi was appointed as the right prime minister and the privy envoy.

On the 8th, bad news came from Shu in the Southern Song Dynasty: Cao Youwen, the commander of the imperial army, died in Yangping Pass of the Da'an Army, and the Mongolian army on Kuoduan's west road drove into Shu! The western gate of the Southern Song Dynasty was also opened immediately after the Zhongda Gate!

The Mongolian army defeated the Southern Song general Li Xianzhong at Wuxiu Pass at the border of Fengzhou and Xingyuan Prefecture, captured Xingyuan Prefecture, the capital of Lizhou East Road, and approached the Da'an Army with a large army. The commander Zhao Yanna urgently ordered Cao Youwen, who guarded Xianren Pass, to defend Da'an to protect his lord. Cao Youwen, on the one hand, said to his younger brother Cao Wan, "The national security is here, and there are no dangers. How can we allow the waves to fight? But we should take advantage of the high and occupy the dangers and set up ambush to wait for it." On the other hand, we wrote to Zhao Yanna, "Mianyang is the danger of Shu. I have heavy troops here, and the enemy has worries, so we must not cross Mianyang and enter Shu. There is also Cao Wan, and Wang Xuan will support him from the front and tail, so we must be able to win. Da'an's terrain is flat and there is no danger to defend. The enemy's cavalry is in charge and our infantry is short. Besides, the number of people is outnumbered, so how can we control the land?" Unfortunately, Zhao Yanna refused and ordered Cao Youwen to withdraw his troops!

Cao Youwen had no choice but to make a plan to take advantage of the night and attack inside and outside, and ordered his brother Cao Wan. Cao Youliang led his troops to Jiguan Pass and set up a number of flags to show the enemy to stand firm. He led more than 10,000 elite troops to cross the river overnight and set up an ambush to Liuxi. "The enemy arrived, and the drums and fires were raised inside, and the sound of killing was called outside." Facing the strong attack of more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry led by the Mongolian general Tarhai, Cao Wan was seriously injured and still fought hard. Cao Youwen divided the troops into three, and personally led thousands of elite troops to rush to the pass, and Liu Hu led 50 0 death squads were the vanguard, Cao Youwen set up 00 ambush beside the road. On the day of the decisive battle, the generals proposed that "the rain will not stop, the muddy is insufficient. Our army always uses cotton fur instead of iron armor. After the rain, it is not conducive to infantry battle. You can wait for the decisive battle after the rain stops." Cao Youwen cursed, "If the enemy knows that my ambush is here, you will make a mistake when waiting." So in the heavy rain, surrounded by Mongolian iron cavalry, Cao Youwen looked up to the sky and sighed, "Is this the sky! I am just dead." He died together with his brother Cao Wan, and the entire army was wiped out...

The Great Jin Dynasty destroyed the country, but Qin, the land of Shaanxi, and more than 0 prefectures have not surrendered to the present. At the suggestion of Yelu Chucai, Ogedei ordered Kuoduan to issue a licence to pardon the states. The states surrendered one after another. Only Huizhou on Lintao Road, under Guo Bin's persistence, never surrendered. In October, it was finally destroyed due to the exhaustion of food. Guo Bin led his whole family to death. A female slave worked hard to rescue a baby in the fire. "The general is loyal, how can he bear to die? This is General Guo's son, please mourn and take it away." After saying that, he also threw himself into the fire. After hearing this, the Mongolian general Antuer was deeply moved and determined to adopt his orphan.

On the 18th, after the bad news was reported on the middle and west roads, the bad news finally came from the east road: the Mongolian army captured Gushi County in Guangzhou, Huainan West Road. Huainan general Lu Wenxin and Du Lin led tens of thousands of defeated soldiers to rebel. Lu'an, Huoqiu and other counties of Anfeng Army were occupied by groups of thieves...

On the other day, Antull led the Mongolian army to capture Dangchang, Jiezhou and Wenzhou in Xihezhou, Xihezhou. Liu Rui, the governor of Wenzhou, and Zhao Ruxuan, and the governor of Wenzhou, held the city without any water. In the end, Antull cut off the water source in the city. The people in the city did not enter the water for nearly half a month, but they had no ambitions to rebel. Of course, Wenzhou City could no longer be held. Liu Rui knew that he could not help but summoned his family and took all the poison. When he was drinking medicine, he still bowed down and received it. He was left and right. After Wenzhou broke the city, Liu Rui and his two sons committed suicide to their country. Zhao Ruxuan died unyieldingly after being captured. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city were killed.

Then came the biggest bad news in Shu! Anthur recruited the Tubo tribes and gave them silver talismans. After breaking through the last state of Lizhou West Road: Longzhou, he joined the army of Kuoduan West Road and captured Chengdu in one fell swoop! Sichuan land was completely destroyed, and the western gate of the Southern Song Dynasty was completely opened!

The cruel Kuoduan then ordered the bloody slaughter of Jinguan City! The city was burned and the people were massacred. It is recorded that a total of 1.4 million people died...

In October, Ogedei's third son, the middle coach Kuo, who was invaded by the south of Mongolia, died.

This month, Chen Riying, the founding emperor of the Chen Dynasty, sent envoys to pay tribute. Song Lizong officially named him King of Annan and still gave him the title of loyalty to the heroes of Shunhua.

On November 7, Zhao Biyan submitted a memorial, "On the day when the world is in trouble, a well-established person should be the prime minister." Song Lizong said, "I appointed Cui Yu, but he refused again and again. I have now appointed political affairs to the two officials. Zhao Biyan said, "The two officials are united in politics to assist in politics. However, how can we not be appointed as the prime minister as soon as possible?" On the 9th, Cai Jie came to the court. Song Lizong said, "Cui Yu always sent me a memorial to dismiss him. I don't know when he will come." Cai Jie said, "He is old, far away, and sick, so I don't think he can come." Song Lizong said, "The prime minister cannot be vacant for a long time, but

We must also appoint someone," Cai Jie said, "Yes! If the situation is now as dangerous as it is, the court cannot be without a prefecture for a day." Finally, on the 1st, Song Lizong appointed Qiao Xingjian, the former right prime minister and Privy Councilor who had just been dismissed from prime minister, as the left prime minister and Privy Councilor. This position immediately triggered impeachment from everyone, but the impeachment was mostly directed at Zheng Qingzhi, the former left prime minister and Privy Councilor who had just been dismissed from prime minister. Tang Lin impeached Zheng Qingzhi, his son Zheng Shichang, and the commander of the Privy Councilor. Du Fan impeached Zheng Qingzhi, his son Zheng Shichang, and signed a letter to Li Mingfu of the Privy Council.

This month, the most important defense system of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Huai River, also encountered bad news! The East Gate was in danger! Wen Buhua led a large army of Mongolian East Road to capture Qizhou, Guangzhou, Shuzhou Anqing Prefecture on Huainan West Road, and the Southern Song Dynasty guards all abandoned the city and fled. After Wen Buhua obtained the troops, grain and equipment from these three states, he attacked Huangzhou and sent a cavalry to attack Luzhou, Luzhou, the capital of Huainan West Road! The two Huai Rivers were in urgent need! Song Lizong issued an emergency edict: He ordered Shi Songzhi to lead his army to rescue Guangzhou, Zhao Kui rescue Luzhou, and Chen Wei supported him in Hezhou!

The last line of defense of the Southern Song Dynasty: The Yangtze River is within reach, and all the important towns on the river are lost! The capital of Lin'an is shrouded in huge danger. It can be said that the Mongols have mastered the key to destroying the Southern Song Dynasty!

At this time, Sichuan fell and the western gate of the Southern Song Dynasty was completely opened; Jinghu collapsed, and the central gate of the Southern Song Dynasty was not far from being completely opened except for Jiangling Prefecture; Jianghuai was in a hurry, and although the eastern gate of the Southern Song Dynasty was not open, it was already in huge danger! The three major war zones in the west, middle and east collapsed! The critical situation of the country was the most dangerous since the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty!

The Song court was completely panicked, and they could not find any way to save the crisis! Finally, I would like to thank Song Lizong Zhao Yun for his rationality! At this time, he finally made the most wise decision: to send a person to the most dangerous front line everywhere - Meng Gong, the God of War in the Song Dynasty!

There is a priority, so we must first determine which place is the most dangerous? After careful judgment, it is Jinghu! Although the battlefield of Jianghuai is closest to Lin'an, it still has the strength to stick to it. Jiangling Mansion is almost unable to support it! Once Jiangling falls, the Mongolian army descends along the Yangtze River, and the Southern Song Dynasty will immediately perish! Meng Gong, the god of war in the Song Dynasty, was ordered to rush over as quickly as possible! After being in place, the god of war felt cold...

There are no soldiers or ships, and the opposite side is full of soldiers, all of them are ships! After all, war is a confrontation of power. This situation will make any general desperate! Now that things have come to this point, there is only one way left - use strange things in urgent situations, and use dangerous weapons to cheat!

Meng Gong ordered: Block the river surface! Using a trick of suspicious soldiers, the candles illuminate the river for dozens of miles. Under the magnificent candlelight, the Song army frequently dispatched the flags and uniforms, and the colors of each were different, as if there were huge forces gathering rapidly. The commander of the Mongolian army on the other side of the country was confused. He became cautious and slowed down the attack speed. But Meng Gong suddenly refused to do anything and increased the speed!

He first sent Zhang Shun, then Zhao Wu, and then crossed the river himself, burning all the Mongolian warships, completely cutting off the possibility of the Mongolian crossing the river! He also captured 4 Mongolian villages and captured tens of thousands of people!

The Jinghu crisis is temporarily alleviated. If it were other Song people, they might just live by themselves and enjoy it as long as they are still alive. But the God of War would not be! He would have to counterattack and regain Xiangyang, which would be the complete elimination of the Jinghu crisis! Although Jiangling, the strategic location, was preserved, almost all the supplies and weapons inside were exhausted. In the face of a super mess, how to recover Xiangyang? There are too many facts that Meng Gong has to do!
Chapter completed!
