Chapter 122: Going west and heading north

The room was full of people, Chen Yizhong, Zheng Jinghe, Zhang Jue, Liu Hezi, Jie Jin, Euro Junxing, Zhu Ruijia, Xu Guanghan, and others all looked happy, as if there was some great news. If the people who didn't know the matter, they would think they had picked up the ingot.

At the end of the Chengdu Battle, the entire Sichuan area was basically restored. The Mongolian army entrenched in Sichuan was sealed in history. People could no longer meet them again in reality, let alone ravage them. If you want to know their deeds, you can only rely on the straight writing of the historians. I hope that the historians wrote in the history books that "all the troops stationed in Chengdu in the Dayuan were killed in their country", rather than writing "The army stationed in Chengdu in the Dayuan was in lawless, and they were rampant in Chengdu and oppressed the people. As soon as the royal army entered Chengdu, the people suddenly started attacking, and they had a bitter hatred in their hearts for ten years. The Mongolian army had nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide, and all were impounded. The Mongolian army suffered so much that no one could do the same."

Once Sichuan was restored, it was hard to think about the military operations that followed. It should have been divided into two groups, heading to western Sichuan, entering Yunnan from the source of the Jinsha River, meeting with Huang Han, and attacking Dali. Dali was incorporated into the territory since the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, and was divided into people during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods, and belonged to the place where it was located.

After the Song army was defeated this time, Li Jun would definitely not allow the existence of separatist forces to incorporate him into the territory and complete the great cause of reunification of the motherland. In this way, Yunnan will be the first homeland to be incorporated into the territory. If the Northern Expedition is successful, the northeast, northwest, western regions, and Tibet, which were originally the territory of China, but now the homelands of foreign lands will be incorporated. The contributions are in the present and the benefits will last for thousands of years. This is a good opportunity for a real man to make achievements. If Liu Hezi and others are unhappy, they will not be able to do so.

Li Jun was also happy, with a smile on his face and said, "You are all very happy, and I am very happy too. Needless to say, you all know the reason, that is, Sichuan has liberated the imperial court."

His words interrupted the hymns, and Chen Yizhong and the others said in unison: "The emperor is wise!"

Zhang Jue sighed: "Your Majesty, to be honest, I am really happy to be able to restore Sichuan. But for me, this is like a dream. Looking back on twenty years ago, Mongolian iron hooves were scattered on the land of Sichuan. How difficult it was to be able to hold on, I have no idea in my heart, let alone regaining Sichuan. Restoring Sichuan, I was very clear about it, and I could only think about it in my dream. Unexpectedly, it became a real thing. If it weren't for the emperor's wiseness, Sichuan would not have been able to be revived."

Zhang Jue participated in the War of Resistance in Sichuan from beginning to end, and knew better than anyone else about the changes in the situation in Sichuan, and his deepest feelings were also true. Although his words were a bit disrespectful, they were heartfelt words. Chen Yizhong and the others also thought as he did, nodding and praised: "Yes. What Jun Yu said has greatly won my heart." Everyone looked like they had won my heart.

"You Jun Yu is first-class in wars, and also first-class in flattery." Li Jun said with a smile, "The credit is the credit of the soldiers. Without you generals, the soldiers sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. Without Xiangfu and the others who were exhausted for military expenditure, Sichuan would not be liberated. Restoring the homeland is the will of the people, and China is unanimous. I am just following the flow and I have no credit." This is very humble and I am not at all pushing the credit to others. As a king who has made achievements, it is rare.

Chen Yizhong and the others were very moved and wanted to say something praise. Li Jun shook his hand to stop them and said, "It is a good thing to restore Sichuan, but this is just the first step on a long journey. Don't just flatter, it's good. When all the Chinese hometowns are restored to the court and all the overseas hometowns are recovered, let's plan to get drunk together. Now, let's discuss the current situation."

The war has changed rapidly. When an important strategic location like Sichuan is restored, the strategy has changed. A new round of deployment is very necessary. It is precisely from this point that Li Jun gathered them together to discuss the major plan.

"Restoration is only the first step. The next thing is to govern, to restore Sichuan's production, to recreate the grand occasion of the "Tianfu Country" in the past, and to build Sichuan into another Jiangnan of the court." Li Jun began to get to the point and said: "This requires a lot of money, talents, and equipment." He patted his forehead and said: "This only concerns are on Xiangfu's head. Whoever asked him to have more channels, there is always a way to solve it."

Li Jun is not giving up the challenge and leaving the problem to Li Tingzhi, but to be honest, Li Tingzhi has outstanding military and political talents, and always has ways to convince people.

Besides, the current Jiangnan land is the center of the court. If the money, talents and equipment necessary to rebuild Sichuan are not from Jiangnan, where can the Lingnan land be transported? Li Junyuan is in Chengdu, so he can only leave this matter to Li Tingzhi to solve it.

"Haha." Chen Yizhong touched his beard and smiled: "Xiangfu's hair will grow again on his temples."

There are many state affairs, and there are more affairs during the war. Although Li Tingzhi has outstanding military and political talents, he is a human or not a god, and he is too breathless to breathe. Many hairs have appeared on his temples. Chen Yizhong's statement was very agreed by everyone, and he said, "Xiangfu is miserable."

Their predictions were correct, but the facts were the opposite. When they saw Li Tingzhi again, they were very surprised. Not only did Li Tingzhi not add Huafa, but Huafa decreased. The reason was that the economic conditions of the Southern Song Dynasty improved and after the tax sources were opened, there was silver in the treasury, so he didn't have to worry about it.

Li Jun is particularly good at attacking people. Chen Yizhong laughed happily to get benefits from Li Tingzhi. Unexpectedly, Li Jun's next words made him laugh. Li Jun said: "Yizhong, don't be happy too early. The money, talents and equipment you need now are given to you by Xiangfu. This is right. However, this is only temporary. You have to pay it back. Yizhong, on the one hand, you have to rebuild Sichuan, and on the other hand, you have to select talents, accumulate silver, and support places like Yunnan and Guanzhong."

Sichuan's strategic position is extremely important and is the central province of the southwestern provinces. If the support for Yunnan, Guizhou and Guanzhong does not fall on Chen Yizhong, who else can we find?

Chen Yizhong laughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that I am laughing too early."

"Whoever laughs the most is the one who laughs the most?" Li Jun blurted out a famous saying.

Zheng Jinghe agreed very much and nodded, "The emperor's witty words are admired by me. The court will definitely laugh to the end." What he meant was that in this war, the Southern Song Dynasty would definitely win and become the final winner.

"I didn't say this." Li Jun dared not accept it in his heart and said, "General Zheng, don't always say it nicely. Chengdu is full of corpses. If it rots, it will seriously threaten the health of the people. Yizhong, you must immediately send someone to bury the corpses in the city and give the people a good living environment."

In the World War Chengdu, the Mongolian army was destroyed, and a serious consequence of the outbreak of the people was the city's corpses. Fortunately, it was after autumn, and the temperature was relatively low, otherwise the corpses would have started to rot long ago. Once the corpse rotted, it would cause the living environment to deteriorate. The final result was the epidemic of diseases, which would seriously affect the living environment of the people.

Chen Yizhong naturally understood the power of it and said, "Please rest assured, I will handle it immediately."

"Zhao An has already entered Liupanshui in advance, Jun Yu, you should set off immediately and rush to Yunnan to meet him." Li Jun began to assign tasks.

The march to Yunnan was a foregone conclusion, and it could be carried out as soon as the battle in Chengdu ended. In order to end the war in Yunnan as soon as possible, Zhang Jue has sent Zhao An to enter Yunnan in advance.

"I obey the order." Zhang Jue stood up and said loudly.

Li Jun waved to him and asked him to sit down, saying, "Jun Yu, Huang Han has already pacified the western part of Guizhou and has entered Yunnan. You must move quickly. You must take down the entire territory of Yunnan as quickly as possible. If you cannot completely wipe out the Mongolian army and jump out of the country, you only need to leave a part of the army to pursue and suppress. You can also order countries such as Thailand and Myanmar to send troops to cooperate with you in the clearance. If you don't listen, drive the army directly."

This fully demonstrates Li Jun's determination to stabilize the border, and it is equivalent to giving Zhang Jue the power to make decisions at the camera. With this power, it is much easier to deal with. Zhang Jue said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I understand."

"Yunnan was originally the homeland of China, but it became an overseas place in the Song Dynasty. This is an irresponsible attitude towards future generations. The court will not allow Yunnan to become an overseas place again. For those old Dali masters who are thinking about restoring Dali Kingdom, there is no need to be polite. You will be able to catch the pass and kill it. You will decide according to the situation." Li Jun's eyes flashed with a divine light, and he said in a firm tone: "For us who are planning to the country, the biggest sin is that we cannot unify the country, and this situation will never be allowed to happen."

This matter has long been decided, and I just waited for Li Jun to give the order. With Li Jun's order, Yunnan was the first homeland to be recaptured that should have been the territory of China but became a foreign land because of the incompetence of the Song Dynasty. It is of great significance. For Zhang Jue and Huang Han, the historical books may write "Zhang Jue, the one who recovered Yunnan, is the one who recovered Yunnan." This is the best affirmation of them. Zhang Jue was so excited that his face was red and said, "Your Majesty, I must not allow these separatists to be free and easy. If someone wants to split, I will make him regret coming to this world."

"Well. After you liberation of Yunnan, you will immediately arrive in Guanzhong to meet us." Li Jun was very satisfied with Zhang Jue's answer, and then said: "General Zheng, you will immediately return to Lin'an and prepare for the Shandong landing battle."

Although the march to Guanzhong has not been carried out, it is a matter of time sooner or later. Guanzhong is adjacent to the Central Plains. If troops are sent from Tongguan, it will soon enter the Central Plains. In other words, Li Jun's military operation to enter Guanzhong is the final preparation for the Northern Expedition of the Central Plains. If Shandong is taken down and Shandong is used as a base, a large army will be sent during the Northern Expedition of the Central Plains, it will be able to echo the army advancing from Guanzhong east. If the east and west advances, the connection between the Central Plains will be quickly cut off. Then there is no need to think about the consequences of the Mongolian army in the Central Plains. Therefore, the significance of taking down Shandong is extremely important.

Zheng Jing and the calm strategist naturally understood the benefits and said, "Prince, please rest assured, I will set off and rush back to Lin'an immediately."

"Very good." Li Jun reconciled Liu Hezi and Jie Jin: "They are all gone, and it's time for us to leave too. It's time to collect the net and catch fish."

For Wang Dechen, the battle at Jianmen Pass was as difficult as hell. According to his memory, he had never fought such a battle that he could not stand in his life. The Song army didn't know what to do. It was wrong to say that they were very combat-capable, and it was wrong to say that they could not fight. It was said that the Song army was very combat-capable, but they had not been able to fight for a long time. It was his first encounter with such a thing, which was really a bit of a headache.

Wang Dechen deserves to be a person appreciated by the two generations of Khans of Mongge and Kublai Khan. After thinking about it, he finally figured out the truth, that is, the Song army was a trap, with the purpose of dragging him down. It is more likely that the Song army used him as bait, with the purpose of luring out the Mongolian army in Guanzhong and encircling and annihilation.

He thought it through clearly, but he was a little convinced that this was true. He really didn't believe that the Song army had the ability, and could eat Mu Zhali's 50,000 troops and his own tens of thousands of troops in one fell swoop. The reason why he didn't believe it was very simple: if the Song army wanted to eat Mu Zhali, he had to seize Jianmen Pass first, and then he could face Mu Zhali's face. Jianmen Pass was still in his hands. Mu Zhali arrived meant that he would join forces with him, and his strength would increase. By then, the Song army could be eaten.

What comforted him even more was that Mu Zhali hinted that he could not reach Jianmen Pass in a short time because of Kublai Khan's imperial edict. According to his understanding of Kublai Khan, there must be a plan in it, the purpose of which was to set a trap for the Song army. He understood this festival and was really excited, that is, there was no worry in Jianmen Pass for the time being, so he could rest assured. When Mu Zhali arrived and Kublai Khan's strategy was revealed, then his benefits would be great.

However, the sky is not as good as the human being. He is planning how to deal with the Song army, and Li Jun is also planning to him. Li Jun has already planned it. Now it is time to close the net and catch fish. He takes Jianmen Pass in one fell swoop and prepares to deal with the other two big fish.

"Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!" A shocking shout came, which made the entire Dajian Mountain tremble.

Wang Dechen, who was handling official business, looked up, listened for a while, and sneered, "I'll do this trick again. One day I'll call you for half a day. After calling you for so many days, I can't see Zhao Qi. He really likes flattery and wants the soldiers to eat enough and have nothing to do, so I'll call him long live." After speaking, he was already very contemptuous.

Since Li Jun left Jianmen Pass, in order to confuse Wang Dechen, Jiao Yu would inevitably put Li Jun's ceremonial war every day and put it in a place that was not very conspicuous and could not be seen by Wang Dechen, and then he asked the soldiers to let go of their throats and shout, "Long live the emperor." This has become a compulsory course for a day. After Wang Dechen listened too much, he didn't think it was surprising, and of course he wouldn't take it to heart.

However, Wang Dechen soon realized that he was wrong. Today, the soldiers of the Song army did not yell like a regular compulsory course, but cheered from the bottom of their hearts. Wang Dechen, who felt something was wrong, suddenly stood up and ran out quickly. When he arrived in front of the position, he was shocked, because he knew that his doomsday had arrived after seeing the scene in front of him.

Under the Huangluo umbrella, Li Jun strode forward. It seemed as if Li Jun was driving a giant war machine. Wherever he went, the soldiers of the Song army must stand up and cheer, and a sound of long live roared out of their mouths, as if they had endless energy and endless power equipment.

According to Wang Dechen's idea, as long as Li Jun waved his hand, these soldiers who were enthusiastic because of Li Jun's arrival would immediately become fanatical, and Jianmen Pass would fall into the hands of the Song army in an instant.

If things were to this end, they would not have scared Wang Dechen. He also found that behind Li Jun, hundreds of artillery and artillery were followed by the Song army, and the Song army had been using it at Jianmen Pass. I don’t know why, but they only had dozens of them. Although they posed a huge threat to the Mongolian army, they would not make him feel the arrival of the doomsday.

Hundreds of cannons suddenly popped up in Song army's hands. It can be imagined what the consequences would be. Wang Dechen would not be stunned.

Li Jun looked at Wang Dechen and said, "Wang Dechen, the imperial army has arrived here, Jianmen Pass will be in an instant. Now, I will give you a last chance to survive."

Li Jun and Liu Hezi, the king and minister, were really interesting. They even used the words Wang Dechen said at Diaoyu City back and forth. After hearing this, Wang Dechen was really angry and regretted why he said such words to General Wang Jian at the time in Diaoyu City, which caused him to be insulted.

"This is the last chance, do you respond?" Li Jun asked loudly. As soon as this said, it means that Wang Dechen's doomsday will come soon.

Wang Dechen said something to Li Jun so angry that he said it, pointing at Li Jun and saying, "You, you..."

"I have given you a chance to survive, you don't want it." After Li Jun said that, he waved his right hand down with force.
