Chapter one hundred and ninety seventh

Chapter 197: Each of them made a surprise plan

"The rebel army was organized very smoothly, and the people of the Central Plains welcomed the royal army." Li Jun was very happy and commented: "If you have any principles, you will die if you do unrighteous things. This is because the Tartars do not care about the people's strength and do not regard the people as human beings, so the people have to rebel."

Zhang Shijie said very much: "A hundred years ago, Wu Mu had made a suggestion to Emperor Gaozong, demanding to support the rebel army in the Central Plains and cooperate with the imperial army to fight the Central Plains in the northern expedition. Now, Wu Mu's last wish has finally been realized. With the support of these rebels, this battle will be much easier."

At that time, Yue Fei considered that the Jin army was powerful and the strength of the Southern Song Dynasty was greatly damaged after the Jingkang shame. The people of the Central Plains rose up to resist the Jin army, and the rebel army was in full swing. The Southern Song Dynasty could take over as an arm and cooperate with the Northern Expedition of the Southern Song army well. This was a very visionary strategic suggestion, but unfortunately Zhao Gou did not adopt it, which made people regret it.

Yue Fei's last wish finally came true a hundred years later. This great hero has a knowledge of the fountain, which is enough to comfort his life.

"Yes, yes." Gundam touched the white beard and said with a smile: "With the support of the rebels, the power of the court is like a sudden increase. This battle must have been won. A hundred years of shame will be in one day!"

Li Junke was not as optimistic as them and analyzed: "The rebel army will greatly disperse the power of the Tartars to a certain extent, which will naturally be of great benefit to us. However, there are many problems, mainly because these rebel army are too scattered and have very weak power, which is easy to defeat each of the Mongols. I mean that relying solely on our intelligence personnel is not enough to support the overall situation, and then dispatch a group of backbones from the army to help the rebel army. The rebel army must be concentrated in the shortest time and developed into several large forces so that they will not be defeated each of them."

Du Dayong deeply agreed: "The emperor's words are extremely reasonable, and they can be said to be a far-sighted move. In this matter, I have selected hundreds of smart and flexible officers who have rich combat experiences. I can go to the enemy's back after just one order from the emperor."

Li Jun sighed at the fact that Du Dayong did everything in his head and said, "General Du is the real plan ahead, so General Du will be responsible for this matter."

He paused and said, "The Mongols are really, they don't even let these prisoners go. It's too domineering. A large number of these prisoners have forced the Mongols to join the army. I think they will definitely not feel at ease. If we do a good job and the Mongols burn a fire, will their army be in civil unrest?"

"What a trick to get rid of the fire!" European Army said with a smile, "If there is a problem within the Tartar army, you don't have to fight this battle to know the outcome."

Gundam said excitedly: "It is best to wait until a large-scale return occurs before the decisive battle. In that case, I can guarantee that Kublai Khan, the Tartar, will be so angry that he jumped."

If it is true as he said, it would be a great thing, but it is just a little wonderful. It is a bit wishful thinking. Li Jun smiled and said, "You old naughty boy, think about everything in a good way, but things are not as simple as you think. However, this matter must be carried out in a step. As long as there are problems within Kublai Khan's army, no matter when and where, no matter how big or small, it will be beneficial to the court without any harm, so why don't we do it?"

Zhang Shijie continued to play and said, "In this way, we can inject a lot of nails into the Tartars, and ask these people to be used as eyeliners and provide information. If necessary, cooperate with the special forces to carry out assassination. It is best to stew Kublai, Babur, Temuer, and Sange in one pot."

"You are like General Gao, and you are starting to be imaginative." Li Jun smiled and attacked Zhang Shijie, saying, "However, this idea is not bad. It's time to put too many spies inside the Tartars, and assassination may not be impossible."

"What? Dangshan caught fire?" Saiyinnuo jumped high after listening to the spy's report, stared at the sight of a copper bell, and shouted: "Are you talking nonsense? How can a mountain as big as Dangshan catch a fire?"

His words were immediately approved by Saidani, and he said, "That's a mountain, how can it be burned? Could it be the sky fire?"

The spy hurriedly argued: "General, the two mountains of Mangdang were swallowed by the fire three hours ago. This is the battle report reported by the front line. What the front line said, and the small ones reported it."

"Why don't you go and have a look? You can say whatever they say." Brother Sang also questioned.

The others wanted to say something else, and Timuer waved his hand and said, "Don't make things difficult for him. You don't know the information and laws of our army. Why bother him? You go down."

The spy hurriedly retreated as if he had been amnesty.

Saiyinnuo and the others looked at Timuer, meaning they were asking him if the fire in Dangshan was real. Timuer looked at them without saying anything, but just nodded slightly, with a look of sorrow.

Nodding to express certainty would make people happy, but Timuer's nod made Brother San and the others take a breath, and his face was ashamed. After a while, a few words burst out from Sainno's teeth, "Babul is finished!"

Babur himself led his army to ambush in Dangshan, sent an emergency military information to Temur, asking him to command the troops behind to press forward and prepare to attack Zhao Liangchun from front to back. Temur excitedly led an army to move forward and rushed over, but he didn't expect that this would end. Hope was shattered, and there was still a reason not to be depressed.

Babur was brave, shrewd, good at strategy, and was loved by San Ge and the others. When he heard this, he felt so sad that his eyes were filled with tears. He clenched his fist with his right hand and said, "Babur, we will avenge you!"

Timuer spoke, "It is too early to talk about Babur's life and death."

He was also a person who was trusted by Brother San and the others. His words immediately ignited hope for Brother San and the others, and said hurriedly: "General, is Babur okay?"

Timuer understood their feelings very well and said, "The fire in Dangshan must be done by the Southern Dynasty. This fire will turn Babur's army into ashes, but it is not that easy to burn Babur to death. Babur is alert and has a lot of wisdom and tricks, and he will have a way to escape. It's a pity that his army has missed an opportunity to annihilate Zhao Liangchun."

"General, how will Babur get out?" Brother San asked hurriedly.

Timuer thought for a while and said, "This is hard to say. There are many ways to get out. How to get out depends on the actual situation. I can't make a guess."

"What are the methods?" Sainno asked in more detail. The reason he asked this was because he cared about Bapur. Sango and the others also cared about Bapur like him, staring at Temuer, waiting for his answer.

Timuer glanced at them and said, "For example, find a cave to hide and wait until the fire is extinguished before coming out. However, if this is the case, it will be too long and it is not safe. The Southern Dynasty will inevitably send people to search the mountains. If one is not good, it will be searched, and it will still be difficult to escape from danger."

"What else is there?" Saidiana asked anxiously.

Timuer then said, "If there is a source of water, wet your clothes with water, cover your mouth and nose, and rush out of the fire while it is messy."

"This is a good idea." The few people applauded in unison.

Timuer nodded and said, "Maybe there is a better way for Babur. Fortunately, he did not lead a lot of troops, nor was he the Five Guards Imperial Guards, otherwise the losses would be great. Don't worry about these things for now, we will prepare to eat Zhao Liangchun."

There was a fire in Dangshan, and Babur's army was buried in the sea of ​​fire. Without the surprise soldiers, the ambush had failed. However, he said that he would still eat Zhao Liangchun, which was tantamount to a dream. Brother Sang and the others all opened their eyes wide, looked at Timuer in surprise, and said, "Eat Zhao Liangchun?"

Timuer nodded and said, "Although Babur's army has lost, they have died to the point. They have created an unprecedented opportunity for us to eat Zhao Liangchun." He glanced at Brother Sang and others with a surprised look on his face and explained, "It is precisely because of the fire in Dangshan that Zhao Liangchun must have thought that we would not have time to respond and would move quickly and go straight to our central army. We will use a trick to eat him." His right hand hit the table hard.

"Now, the Tartars will definitely be roasted whole lamb." Zhao Qian put the battle report on the table and laughed: "The Tartars have a famous dish that roasts whole lamb. Unexpectedly, General Zhao invented another dish: roast the whole person alive!"

His words were very contagious, and the generals were also happy, laughing and said, "General Zhao's move is powerful enough. Since ancient times, only Zhou Lang burned the Red Cliff, but he has never heard of the fire burning Dangshan. Today, it is said that in the battle of Red Cliff, even the rocks were burned red. When this fire was released, Dangshan would definitely turn red."

Liao Shenggong did not speak, but walked to the map in thought, looked at the map, but did not speak for a long time. His actions immediately attracted the attention of the generals, and he did not speak, looking at him.

After a long time, Liao Shenggong still didn't say anything. Zhao Qian asked, "General Liao, is there any problem?"

Liao Shenggong nodded but still didn't say anything. The generals were even more surprised. They knew that Liao Shenggong must be conceiving a new combat plan at this time, and did not dare to interrupt his thinking, so they had to stay quietly.

After two cups of tea, Liao Shenggong suddenly turned his head and said, "Come."

The captain of the personal soldiers ran in and said, "Sir, please give me instructions."

"You, send a message to Zhao Liangchun immediately, asking him to be careful and beware of the ambush of the Tartars. It must be fast, it will be too late if it is too late." Liao Shenggong ordered very concisely.

The captain of the personal soldiers responded and turned around and ran out.

Zhao Qian was a little confused and asked, "General Liao, is there any danger? Dangshan burned General Zhao, and the plan of the Tartar ambush has been broken by General Zhao. What are you going to worry about?"

His question was exactly what the generals thought, nodding at Liao Shenggong. Liao Shenggong knew that it would be impossible not to explain it clearly, and said, "The way to use troops lies in strange changes. I think the Tatars will inevitably use a lot of troops for this ambush, including the Five Guards and the Qiexue Corps. These troops are very strong." Pointing to the map, he said, "Look, Dangshan is only a little big, at most an ambush of 30,000 or 20,000 troops. This is only a small part of the Tatars' use of troops. Even if all these troops are lost, they will not be damaged. They will still have very strong strength. General Zhao, what would you think if you were the chief general of the Tatars? What would you do?"

"This..." Zhao Qianwan never expected Liao Shenggong to suddenly ask him this question. He thought for a while and said, "If it were me, of course, it would be a reorganization of the army and then fight again. How could the army not fight because of such a loss?" He opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment before saying, "General Zhao is in danger!"

Liao Shenggong nodded and agreed, "That's right. What I'm worried about is that General Zhao's light army will move forward quickly and directly take over the central Tartars. If another chief general of the Tartars set up a false camp and lure General Zhao into a trap, and then ambushing troops everywhere, General Zhao will be in danger!"

His words immediately caused a burst of surprise, which was a surprise that the generals never expected that there would be such a crisis behind the victory.

"General Liao, what should I do? We can't watch General Zhao crash into the trap of the Tartars." Zhao Qian clenched his fists in an anxious manner and said, "General Liao, please let me reinforce General Zhao."

Liao Shenggong comforted him and said, "Don't worry too much. General Zhao is a good general. He acts cautiously and will pay attention to it. He will withdraw when he sees something wrong."

"That's good." Zhao Qianchangshu breathed. Liao Shenggong was resourceful and had few plans, and was deeply trusted by the generals. It was naturally very certain that he said this, and the generals were relieved.

Liao Shenggong continued to say, "There are three things we need to do: one is to order the entire army to advance at full speed and move closer to General Zhao. I predict that in order to encircle and annihilate General Zhao, their main force must be east of Yucheng. General Zhao's 100,000 troops were just a bait, attracting the main force of the Tartars here. General Zhao, you lead the Xuanjia cavalry and go straight to Shangqiu, take down Shangqiu with lightning speed, tie your pockets, and don't let the Tartars retreat."

"General Liao, please rest assured and complete the task resolutely." Zhao Qian rubbed his hands excitedly.

Liao Shenggong continued to analyze: "The second is to inform General Zheng of the situation and ask his navy to transport artillery to this area to ensure that there is sufficient fire support when the battle begins."

Artillery is a good thing, the favorite of the Song army. If there is no artillery, it would be a pity. The generals nodded and said yes.

"Third, inform the emperor of the situation and ask the emperor to control the overall situation and provide us with strong support." Liao Shenggong said carefully: "The first battle of the Northern Expedition is about to begin!"

"Zhonghe, do you think, can Temuer and the others eat Zhao Liangchun?" Kublai asked at Guo Kan, who was half lying down.

At this time, Guo Kan was no longer like a person. His originally handsome face is now covered with pits. In a very popular sentence, it is "a face full of pockmarks". In fact, it is even more ugly than pockmarks. After burning the acid, the wound can heal, but in a short period of time the wound is bright red. Countless red dots grow on the face, which looks like a monkey's butt from a distance.

Guo Kan burned his internal organs with a large amount of phosphoric acid, and it was really bad. It was a good idea to not die. It was a miracle without medicine. However, he could no longer stand up and could only lie on the hospital bed.

After raising him for so long, his mind had recovered. Because he could not ride a horse or walk, he could only stay for Kublai Khan's counselor.

Guo Kan's throat gurgled a few times, but no sound was made. Kublai Kan looked at Guo Kan with a tragic look on his face, and Guo Kan shook his head gently. A large amount of phosphoric acid burned Guo Kan's vocal cords and couldn't even speak. Now he is useless except for his brain. Kublai Kan actually discussed military affairs with him, which is really a "waste utilization".

"I think so too." Kublai Khan nodded in agreement with Guo Kan's judgment and said, "The talent of Zhao Liangchun and Liang generals will not be fooled easily. However, I think that this place can be made, and Liao Shenggong must be close to him in order to attack Shangqiu from the east. Shangqiu is the eastern gate of Bianjing. If Shangqiu is lost, Bianjing will be in danger. Therefore, I decided to fight a battle near Shangqiu and eat Liao Shenggong and Zhao Liangchun first when the southern and western fronts are still calm." Looking at Guo Kan, he asked, "What do Zhonghe thinks?"

Guo Kan nodded.

Kublai Khan also had a little more confidence in getting the approval of Guo Kan, the number one stroller. After walking a few steps, he said happily: "Zhang Hongfan and A Shu fought well, and Zhang Jue and the others were blocking the Sanmenxia area. They could not cross the line. This would be of great benefit to the court. The western front was safe and the southern front could withstand it. I could concentrate my troops to clean up the eastern front. When Liao Shenggong and Zhao Liangchun no longer exist, I would turn around and clean up these two places, and I could rest assured."

If the war really develops as he said, it would be a good thing. Unfortunately, Guo Kan was a little slammed and shook his head.

Kublai Khan's good mood suddenly became much less, and he asked, "Zhonghe, what do you have to say?" He signaled the guard to hand over paper and pen to Guo Kan.

Guo Kan lifted his pen and wrote on the paper: "Is there any abnormality on the Western Front?"

Kublai Khan thought for a moment and said, "There is nothing big, but the cavalry of Jie Jin has never been seen. I have increased my reconnaissance of his operations, but I still haven't found it. Zhonghe, where do you think Jie Jin will go?"

Jie Jin's cavalry caused a lot of trouble, so naturally Kublai Khan focused on the target and spent a lot of effort on Jie Jin. However, Jie Jin didn't know what happened, but he disappeared out of thin air and could not be found.

Guo Kan wrote on paper again, this time he wrote the word "Luoyang".

Kublai Khan understood what he meant. He was saying that Jin had rushed to Luoyang, so Zhang Jue and his friends' actions near Sanmenxia were just feints, in order to attract the attention of A Shu and Zhang Hongfan.

However, one thing that made Kublai Khan unable to understand, and he asked, "How would Jie Jin arrive in Luoyang?" This is indeed a question. Jie Jin is not a god and can fly. How could he escape Kublai Khan's eyes?
