934. Zuo Cheng to Changlin
Jinghu North Road is close to the northernmost county, Changlin County.
The banner of the Yuan army was erected at the head of the city, and the horses outside the city were extended.
Since the last time he was attacked by Su Quandang in Changlin, resulting in the loss of troops, LΓΌ Wenhuan received an order from Kublai Khan to let him stay still.
This former minister of the Southern Song Dynasty no longer easily banned the army, but only set up a defense in this Changlin County. To this day, although I dare not say that Changlin County will be built into an iron bucket, even if Su Quandang and others want to break through, it is definitely not an easy thing. The grain and grass of the Yuan army were continuously transported from the territory of Jingnan Road to Changlin County.
It has become the territory of the Yuan army, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty are rarely visited.
Su Quandang only led the Tiangang Army and Wenqi's Changde Mansion garrison to guard Jiangling Mansion, and Tianli Army Liu Zaiyuan to guard Dangyang. It was also unable to attack the Yuan army.
The two sides have been in this confrontation for some time. Because if there is a war, it will be a battle of life and death.
Lu Wenhuan didn't dare to disobey, and Su Quandang was under too much pressure. If he is defeated, the Yuan army will be able to drive straight from here, but it is better to confront the Yuan army like this.
Fortunately, the good news from Guangnan West Road and Kuizhou Road made the pressure in his heart lighter and lighter.
As long as they wait for Yue Peng and them to free their hands, it is only a matter of time before they want to repel these Yuan troops.
The sun is scorching.
There seems to be a heat wave on the official road outside Changlin County.
The soldiers on the head of the city were sweating, and some people were napping, and when they opened their eyes, they felt like the world was spinning.
There are more than ten horsemen galloping from outside the city towards the north gate of Changlin County. All of them were gray and covered their faces.
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
The sound of clapping horses is getting closer.
The soldiers at the head of the city watched and finally cheered up.
In the past few days, except for the army transporting grain and grass, there are really few flies that have flown to this Changliulin County.
Now suddenly a few strangers came, and they all made them feel like they were seeing monkeys.
The guards of the city stopped in front of them.
Before they could speak, the dozen or so horses were already divided. The leader was dusty, and his eyes swept over the city.
Looking at his appearance, he actually ignored a few guards in the city who tried to stop them.
This made the guards a little unhappy, and one of them asked, "Who are you?" β
One of the more than ten riders suddenly reached out and threw out a token.
"Ahh
The token shot straight into the chest of the guard standing at the front, and it actually hit the guard in pain, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
A few guards on the side were furious, and immediately raised their spears and cursed in their mouths.
Only the guard who staggered back two steps back saw the words on the token in his hand for a moment, but his expression changed dramatically, and an extremely frightened expression appeared on his face.
"See the Prime Minister!"
Although Ye Luzhu is a civil official, he is the prime minister of Zuo, and he is not something that these ordinary soldiers can offend.
Moreover, Yeluzhu's name in the Yuan Dynasty is probably known to everyone, and no one knows it.
The guard knelt respectfully on the ground and presented the token.
Jeruzhu didn't say a word, clapped his horse forward, took the token in his hand, and went to the city like this.
It wasn't until he walked into the city gate that he said lightly: "General Lu's defense is not bad. β
The soldiers behind followed and ran to the corridor, rushed to the front of Yeluzhu and the others, and shouted: "Lord Zuo Cheng has arrived!" Lord Zuo Cheng has arrived! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! β
Yeluzhu traveled to the government office.
At this time, Lu Wenhuan had already received the news, and he had already appeared at the door of the government to greet him.
"Lord Zuo Cheng!"
When Yeluzhu and his party arrived a few meters in front of him, Lu Wenhuan bowed his hand to Yeluzhu.
He was followed by more than a dozen generals, all of whom were the leading generals in the Yuan army, and they all saluted Yeluzhu.
Ye Luzhu lifted his hat and smiled slightly, "General Lu, it's been a long time." β
The people behind him also lifted Da Yu's hat one after another.
The person next to him made Lu Wenhuan and the others slightly stunned.
Someone gave up his hand again, and a smile appeared on his face, "Grandpa Huang! β
This man is a Huang Liangce.
In the entire Yuan Dynasty, there was no one else except him for the eunuch who could make the generals in the army so polite.
As for the people behind Yeluzhu, although they should all be great masters with good hands, they couldn't let Lu Wenhuan and others take the initiative to greet them.
Huang Liangce smiled, but he still looked gloomy, "The generals are polite." β
He has a hooked nose, and no matter what his expression is, he usually doesn't give the impression of being approachable.
A quick pleasantry.
Yelu Zhufu and the others dismounted and walked to Lu Wenhuan and his group.
Yeluzhu said with a smile: "All the generals should enter the palace with their own officials, the emperor ordered the officials to come to supervise the army, and the generals will have to take care of them in the future." β
These are kind words. The smile on his face was also very indifferent.
But the generals are slightly discolored.
Even Lu Wenhuan had a different color in his eyes.
It's just that he soon ordered normal again, and said: "Lord Zuo Cheng, please, this handsome man has asked people to set up a banquet to wash the dust for Lord Zuo Cheng." β
And he followed Jerodium.
At this moment, I inevitably still have some sighs in my heart.
When Yeluzhu was going to the army to supervise the army, Kublai Khan did not tell him in advance. What kind of thoughts is this, he Lu Wenhuan can infer it.
It's also a pity that he didn't want to vote for Song again, otherwise, Yeluzhu was afraid that Mo would not have entered the city with such a posture.
Ye Luzhu nodded lightly, "Lu Shuai is worthy of being a famous general, and the defense of the city is ...... Very good. β
These words were meaningful, but they also made the generals who followed behind breathe a sigh of relief.
Yeluzhu used the position of Zuo Cheng to supervise the army, and the weight was not heavy. What they were most worried about was what trouble Jerod would find.
Lu Wenhuan responded with a smile, "Lord Zuo Cheng is overrated. Since the adults have come to supervise the army, I will ask the adults for more advice in the future. β
Jeruchu smiled and stopped talking.
Go to the lobby of the government.
At this time, the cooks had not been able to prepare the food and drinks.
Everyone took their seats.
Although he was only a prisoner, he was not allowed to sit on the throne. Huang Liangce and Lu Wenhuan sat in the first place on the left and right respectively.
As soon as he sat down, Ye Luzhu looked at Lu Wenhuan and asked, "Lu Shuai, what is the situation of our army and the Song army in the Song State now?" β
Lu Wenhuan replied without hesitation: "Since the beginning of the confrontation between the army of the Dynasty and the Song army in Jiangling Mansion, Ezhou, Longxing Mansion, and Jianning Mansion, there has been no war. Now the armies of all walks of life are in a state of confrontation with the Song army. The rest of the Zhulu commanders do not know very well, only in the territory of Jiangling Prefecture, the Song army still has 30,000 troops stationed in Jiangling Mansion and Dangyang County respectively, and our army will be subject to their joint resistance if there is only a slight movement. β
Ye Luzhu nodded lightly, and suddenly sighed: "Now the Song army is getting more and more difficult to deal with, if it was before, who could stop me from riding towards nearly 100,000 iron?" β
A general immediately spoke up and said: "Lord Zuo Cheng, rest assured, as long as the war starts, the Song army will inevitably be crushed under the iron cavalry of our army." β
Jeredron just chuckled at this.
Big words, anyone can say. But at this time, it has not been long since Lu Wenhuan's army was bombarded by Su Quandang.
Lu Wenhuan stared at the loud general, and his face was also a little embarrassed.
But at this point, he returned to normal in a blink of an eye, looked at Ye Luzhu again, and said, "There is another thing, Ben Shuai doesn't know if Lord Zuo Cheng has already gotten the news. β
Jerodon asked, "What?" β
Lu Wenhuan said with a solemn expression: "The armies of Dali and the New Song Dynasty have been defeated by the Song army on Guangnan West Road and Kuizhou Road. The three armies of Dali only have more than 100,000 troops left in Fenghebi, and the army is still marching towards Changsha, and the New Song Dynasty only has more than 100,000 remnants left, and they hurriedly withdrew from the Kuizhou battlefield, afraid that they want to return to the New Song Dynasty by the East Road of Daolizhou. β
Jerodon squinted and groaned.
During this time, he just hurried to Changlin, but he really didn't know about it.
After a while, he said: "If this is the case, this is indeed bad news for our army, without the containment of the new Song Dynasty and Dali armies, the Song army will inevitably converge on this northern frontier!" β
"Huh!"
He sneered, "I originally thought that Dali Duan Qilin was a cunning wolf, but now it seems that he is just a cunning fox." With the strength of the whole country, hundreds of thousands of troops seem to be mighty, but they are just such a rabble, and they were defeated and lost by the Song army in a short period of time. β
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Wenhuan again, "Then in this matter, does the emperor have issued a will?" β
Lu Wenhuan said in a deep voice: "The emperor asked me to wait for the Song army to end the war in Northern Xinjiang as soon as possible. β
Jerezhu nodded slightly, "Then ...... Let's fight! β
