Chapter 84

Pulling forward and pulling back

As soon as Zhang Jing said this, all the generals present were surprised. However, after being surprised, they fell into a brief silence...

In this day, changing the court to be loyal to one's court is a very fatal problem, and it is not as easy as changing jobs in later generations.

But soon, a guy with agility suddenly grasped the point. Zhang Jing was not discussing with them, nor was this a rhetorical question, but a fact.

"We are willing to follow the general!" The sudden response sounded in the big tent, and the others came back to their senses. This was a question for giving away!

Usually when Zhang Jing comes, he brings about ten followers, but today he is different. He brings a "protagonist" of 200 people...

In the big tent, the generals quickly stood up and bowed and agreed, "We are willing to follow the general and go through fire and water, and we will never refuse, and we will go without regrets!"

...

Zhang Jing led the generals to greet the camp gate. Behind him was a circle of "protective guards" brought by Zhang Jing, blocking the gate and separating them from the large army in the camp.

They did not wait for very long. Shortly after the signal was issued, a muffled thunder sounded, and a large group of cavalry arrived soon and came to them...

Zhang Jing led 50,000 troops to guard the Guardians. After this battle, half of the troops were thrown away, and he was captured! Guo Jing asked Zhang Jing and his generals to take action personally and kill all the Mongols under his command.

Only three people were left, waiting to report the message to the Mongolians in the future. Now, Zhang Jing and his generals, no matter how unwilling they were, had no way out.

In the evening, Qiu Zhiqing knew why Zhang Xun rushed out of the city and headed south before dawn!

It turned out that in the evening, news came from the south bank of the Yellow River that Meng Gong occupied Yingtian Prefecture (Shangqiu) three days ago. Yingtian Prefecture was only about 250 miles away from Bianliang. Meng Gong urgently marched to resist the city of Bianliang at noon today.

Meng Gong's troops were at the city. The city general Li Boyuan killed Cui Li, the surrendered general of the Jin Kingdom, and led 20,000 troops to surrender to Meng Gong. So Zhang Jing hurriedly led people to the military camp in the south of the city, trying to dig open the Yellow River.

However, they were intercepted by Qiu Zhiqing and Ding Yong, who were planning to cut off the contact between the military camp in Chengnan and block the battlefield information. Now, let alone digging open the Golden Dike of the Yellow River, they all became generals of the Southern Song Dynasty!

Although I was still a little unhappy, after all, my ancestors have been committed to overthrowing the Southern Song Dynasty court. But now I have also gone ashore and have jumped on the boat. Now I am not like a descendant changing company.

If the boss is not dead, the price of replacing the last one is quite high. For example, if you change to one, you can kill one, let alone, your reputation is terrible.

The straightforward Zhang Fei was ridiculed once and once. Even if others held their own identities and were disdainful to curse, they were still despised once and once.

However, what Meng Gong saw was not the prosperous Bianliang in the Qingming Festival, but a city with fewer food and clothing, with a population of one million, with less than a thousand households.

Even though he had made all kinds of plans and had various ideas in his mind, Meng Gong still couldn't help but feel twitching in his heart when he saw everything in front of him.

Meng Gong's ancestral home is Jiangzhou, Hedong, his grandfather is Yue Fei's subordinate general, and his father is the commander of the Zaoyang Army.

Although he had never been to Bianliang, he had heard about the prosperity of Bianliang from his father.

However, today I entered Bianliang and completed the great achievements that my grandfather, father, and Prince Yue had not accomplished.

But he couldn't be happy at all. He saw everything he saw along the way. He thought Bianliang would be better, but he didn't expect it to disappoint him!

However, he had no time to be sad and put away the throbbing in his heart. Meng Gong immediately ordered his deputy commander Xu Minzi to lead 20,000 troops and take enough food to capture Xingyang. At the same time, if he had the opportunity, he would control Hulao Pass and Arc detention to prevent Mongolia from counterattacking!

April 30th, the first year of Duanping, on the last day of this April.

Meng Gong received a good news from Guo Jing's troops north of the Yellow River. According to the rumor, Guo Jing had already captured Zhang Jing's troops in Weizhou, and 25,000 people from Zhang Jing's troops surrendered. Zhang Jing himself was captured and surrendered.

Especially among the surrendered soldiers, there are 10,000 cavalrymen, and one man and two horses!

This made Meng Gong overjoyed. His army of 70,000 went on a battle, with only 7,000 cavalry, and only one man and one horse. Zhang Jing had only 25,000 cavalry, and only 10,000 cavalry, and one man and two horses.

I have to say that this wave really made him happy. He ordered the surrendered general Li Boyuan to lead 10,000 troops from his headquarters to the north of the Yellow River and to the command of Guo Jing. At the same time, he ordered Guo Jing to send 10,000 cavalrymen from Zhang Jing to Bianliang.

The remaining infantry were retained and reorganized by Guo Jing!

There will be nothing happening to Qiu Zhiqing in the following days. His main job is to watch Guo Jing not rebelliously and watch the military supervisor not cause trouble. However, now it seems that they are very peaceful.

Is it not peaceful? The military supervisor has made great contributions this time, so naturally he will not cause trouble for Guo Jing, who led him to make contributions.

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye it is the first day of the fifth month of the first year of Duanping. It is good to know relatives and friends and adopt children! Don’t: break up the soil, log onto the beams! It is a good day.

On this day, the leader of the Henan rebel army, Commander Ding, led the rebel army to surrender. Meng Gong accepted it happily and reorganized it separately. At this time, Meng Gong did not count the troops north of Guo Jing's Yellow River, but had reached 95,000!

Not to mention the 20,000 that Xu Zimin took away, there were more than 75,000 troops in Bianliang City. People ate horses and chewed them, and the food was tight. Fortunately, Guo Jing defeated Zhang Jing in time and protected the Golden Dike of the Yellow River, which was able to ensure smooth shipping.

On May 2, the first batch of military rations and 300,000 stones of grain were stored in the Bianliang Treasury. Meng Gong breathed a sigh of relief and organized the existing people in the city and the troops that had completed the training to start the settlement.

Growing a wave of corn and vegetables first, and then growing wheat in October, preparing for the second year of production, restoring urban construction, etc. are all things that he, the Henan commander, needs to do!

On May 3, the Song army occupied the eastern gateway of Luoyang. Part of the Mongolian army originally retreated to Mengzhou, controlled all ferries, and remotely controlled Mengjin Pass, Xiaopingjin Pass and other ferries.

After learning that Weizhou was lost, Zhang Qing surrendered to the enemy, fearing that he would conquer the land from both sides, so he planned to cross the Yellow River. Unexpectedly, Zhang Qing led the army to attack from both sides. The Mongolian army attacked and fought with Zhang Qing.

Zhang Jing lost three battles and three defeats, and his morale was poor and he could not fight again. So he retreated to the north bank of Arc deputies, across the river from the Song army on the south bank, and at the same time collected a large number of ferries and cruised on the Yellow River.

The Mongolian army was afraid of being attacked by the Song army on both sides of the north and south, so they slowly retreated back to Mengzhou!

On May 5, the Xiangyang army occupied the southern four passes in the Eight Passes of Luoyang, and Meng Gong also added 20,000 troops to Xu Zimin two days ago, and he was in charge of Bianliang and carried out settlement.

The Mongolian Army in Mengzhou felt that Mengzhou was not very safe, so they planned to cross the river and join the defender Liu Xiang'an on the south bank. However, when crossing the river, Guo Jing, who had already hidden on the side, led 5,000 cavalrymen to attack.

It turned out that when the Mongolian army and Zhang Jing were fighting fiercely, Guo Jing had quietly walked around the side of the Yellow River Ferry, waiting for the opportunity!

The Mongolian army left behind a large number of baggage and horses, and crossed the river in a hurry. Zhang Qing led his troops westward, controlled the Taihang Trail, and gathered the ferry to face the Mongolian army on the south bank of Mengjin Pass across the river.

...

What was Guo Jing doing at this time? Guo Jing and Qiu Zhiqing led the 5,000 cavalry under their command to the west, cross Jiyuan, cross Yuanqu County, walk the pass, take the detour to Yongji, and stab the defenders of Tongguan!

After five hundred miles, Qiu Zhiqing and his team walked for more than ten days before they arrived in Yongji. This was to imitate the old story of Cao Cao attacking Tongguan and stabbing Ma Chao. Along the way, they hid when they met people and wandered around when they met the city. However, there were not many Mongolian troops in Hedong.

Two flowers bloomed, each with one branch. Guo Jing led his army to walk around the back. To the north of the Yellow River, Zhang Jing and Li Boyuan were stationed respectively in Hui and Huaizhou (now Jiaozuo) to guard against the Mongolian army in Hedong and Hebei.

In fact, there were no Mongolian troops in Hedong and Hebei at this time, and most of them were surrendered Jin troops.

In order to prevent Zhang Jing and Li Boyuan from rebelling again, Meng Gong confiscated the ferry in their hands on the grounds of transporting grain, and all of them were concentrated on the south bank of the Yellow River.

On May 10, Xu Zimin and Shi Songzhi met in the south of Luoyang, in the middle of Longmen Town. The Mongolian army Liu Xiang'an's troops fought fiercely for three fierce battles, and each other won and lost. When the Song army came south, they knew that Luoyang could not be defended, they voluntarily withdrew from Luoyang.

On May 11, Shi Songzhi entered Luoyang and announced the recovery of Luoyang. He couldn't wait to send envoys to report the victory to Lin'an. Xu Zimin was indifferent to this, and his contribution had been obtained!

On May 13th, after three days of rest and replenishing food, grass and weapons, the two armies had a total of more than 60,000 troops, and rushed towards Xin'an in a mighty manner.

After Liu Xiangan joined the 10,000 Mongolian troops retreated from the north bank, he had 40,000 troops. He believed that Han Hangu Pass was dilapidated and difficult to hold on for a long time. He held his own troops and had strong strength, so he went out of the city to fight in the field.

On May 15th, the Song army resisted Xin'an and the Mongolian army attacked. The Song army was defeated in two battles and was captured by Liu Xiang'an and attacked violently at the joint headquarters of the two armies. The Song army was defeated and retreated thirty miles to camp.

On May 18th, the Song army fought fiercely with Liu Xiangan and was defeated again. Helplessly, Meng Gong, who secretly led 13,000 cavalry to stand in secret, had to attack in advance, as the Song army was about to be defeated.

In this battle, the Song army suffered more than 14,000 casualties, and Liu Xiangan led 10,000 remaining soldiers to Lingbao.

Although the Song army won a great victory, Meng Gong secretly advanced westward, and Xu Zimin's plan to lead out the Tongguan defenders to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Four days later, on May 22nd, Shi Songzhi led a 20,000 army under his command to retreat to Luoyang. Meng Gong led Xu Zimin to more than 30,000 infantry and 13,000 cavalry to advance to Lingbao!

The commander of the Mongolian Tongguan general came to support 15,000 elite cavalry. The Song army was defeated two games first, but soon stabilized its position. Both sides fought against Lingbao City.

The Mongolian army launched four attacks on the Song army within one day, all of which were repelled by the Song army's divine arm crossbow. This made Liu Xiangan realize that the Mongolian cavalry did not have an advantage in confronting the Song army's military front.

Because they could not attack head-on and were not as good as the Song army's divine arm crossbow, the two sides fought fiercely for a day and returned to their camps.

On the 27th day of May, Liu Xiangan, who had fought fiercely with the Song army for five days, received a bad news - Tongguan was lost...

The battle report slid from Liu Xiangan's hand. When the wind blew, it fell on the torch of the lighting. When it fell on the ground, only ashes were left. Liu Xiangan also fell on the handsome chair with a pale face...
