Chapter 1218: Suspicious

"Great Khan, there is a happy event, the Southern Dynasty has withdrawn!"

"The Southern Dynasty has withdrawn, is this matter serious?!" Zhenjin has been depressed to death by the war these days, and he doesn't want to listen to the quarrels of those ministers, and he is relieved of his worries every day, and suddenly he saw Yue Chi Cha'er hurriedly entering the hall and shouting, but he still heard what he said when he was half drunk, and he was shocked and asked urgently.

"Seriously, seriously, this is the latest battle report sent by Xuzhou and Fu Li!" Seeing the situation of the Great Khan, Yue Chi Cha'er replied, walked a few steps to the front of the palace, presented the battle report, and was busy bending down to wipe the wine spilled on his body for the Great Khan.

"Oh, the southern army attacking Xuzhou has been retreating at a rate of fifty miles a day for several days, and has retreated one hundred and fifty miles, and is concentrating on Xiapi, as if there are signs of retreating to Huainan!" Zhenjin unfolded a battle report and read it softly, and before he could read it carefully, he picked up another one with ten lines and read it, "The southern army that attacked Fuli did not retreat, did they want to join forces to attack Fuli?" ”

"Great Khan, look!" Yue Chi Cha'er took the map on the case and unfolded it, and quickly found Fu Lidao, "Great Khan, Fu Li is in the south, Xuzhou is in the north, and the two places have the same road." If they retreated to the south of the Huai River at the same time, the enemy in Xuzhou was worried that the rear road would be cut off by our army, so although the enemy army of Fuli temporarily stood still, it also gathered the troops attacking Linli and Qixian on both sides of the canal. This move was intended to cover the southward retreat of the enemy in Xuzhou, and at the same time he was ready to retreat from Fuli at any time! ”

"They secretly withdrew their troops, could there be any deception in them?" Zhenjin and the Southern Dynasty clashed several times, all suffered big losses, and also deeply experienced the cunning of the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty, whose use of troops was often beyond common sense, making it elusive to make its true purpose. Therefore, even if he learned the news of his retirement, he didn't dare to believe it completely, and asked suspiciously.

"Great Khan, your majesty thinks it is true. This news can be corroborated with the burning of the baggage of the large battalion in the rear of the Southern Army in the past, and it was precisely because they lost food and grass that it was difficult to use troops for a long time, so they had to give up continuing to invade the north and retreat in a hurry! Yue Chi Cha'er said that he knew that the normal march of the infantry army was only thirty miles a day, and a fifty miles a day could be called a rapid march, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was hasty.

"It seems that the thief of the Southern Dynasty has escaped!" The Southern Army was able to cover the withdrawal in an orderly manner when it lost food and grass, and Zhenjin thought that in addition to the well-trained and strict military discipline of the Southern Army, there must be someone who could deter the whole army, so that they could obey the order when there were enemy troops in front of them, and there would be no rush to flee for their lives. And the only person who can do it now is the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty, who can make the armies dare not disobey, but the luck that has always made him feel is gone, and the degree of disappointment even exceeds the joy of learning that the Southern Army has withdrawn.

"The Great Khan is clear, but this can also determine that the thief is still in the army, he escaped the previous time, but he may not be able to survive every time!" Yue Chi Cha'er said.

"What is Tutuha's plan?" Of course, Zhenjin knows that the king of a country will inevitably be under heavy protection, and he will not approach the first-line battlefield, and he missed the opportunity before, so how lucky he must be if he wants to capture it again. Immediately put down this section and asked out loud.

"Great Khan, Tutuha thinks that the Song army's retreat to the south is a good opportunity to break the enemy, as long as they break through the enemy army all the way, they will be crushed, and our army only needs to chase and kill as soon as possible to recover the lost territory. Therefore, he suggested concentrating his forces to first break through the enemy in front of him, and then capture Sizhou and Chuzhou, cut off the retreat of the Eastern Route Army, and annihilate it. In this way, the main force of the Southern Dynasty and Jiangdong was lost, and it was no longer able to operate the two Huai, and then the enemy could be driven back to Jiangnan! Yue Chi Cha'er replied.

The intention was to transfer Xuzhou's troops to the south, and to flank the enemy in Fuli twice, so that it would be difficult for the enemy's troops and horses to enter the Central Plains from the east and west. After breaking through the road, cut off the retreat of the enemy's East Route Army to the east along the river, and then encircle and annihilate it with the soldiers who stayed in Xuzhou! Zhenjin looked at Yutu and thought about it.

"The Great Khan is wise, and his words are insightful of Tutuha's arrangement!" Yuechi Cha'er smiled and praised, "But Great Khan, you still have to make a decision early." Now the weather is getting warmer, and the rain is increasing, and our army is not tolerant of heat, and the mud after the rain is not conducive to the galloping of war horses. In addition, once the southern army retreats to Huainan, as long as a few holes are guarded, our army will be helpless, but they can make a comeback after obtaining baggage, grain and grass. ”

"Well, what you said is not unreasonable, but there is no conclusion on whether the DPRK and China are fighting or making peace, and it is difficult for me to make a decision for a while!" Jin sighed.

"Great Khan, the situation is already very critical, at present more than 200 warships of the Southern Korean naval army have gathered in the sea of Cheongju, they have shelled the coastal fort many times, and tried to land at Gukou. Although the grassland army that returned to the reinforcements had arrived in Cheongju, they were not accustomed to water warfare and could only defend passively. But the enemy's naval army went further to the grain storage land of the Beijing Division, where the grain could be stored for the Beijing Division for two years, once it was breached, the Manchu Dynasty could only hunt the grain in the north. Only by defeating the current enemy, the enemy naval army has no land response, and it can only return in vain, even if it lands without help, it is difficult to gain a foothold! Yue Chi Cha'er said.

"Under such circumstances, if there is a peace negotiation, the Southern Dynasty will inevitably open its mouth and blackmail our dynasty. and damaged the prestige of the Great Khan, provoked the jokes of the kings, and became more and more arrogant in the future, disobeying the orders of the imperial court. And if the enemy army is defeated and the situation is reversed, our dynasty can let them pay tribute and call them vassals, so that the Great Khan will be famous at home and abroad, and all the people in the world will submit! ”

"This ...... If this is defeated, we will withdraw from the Central Plains! Zhenjin is very aware of the current situation, but this also makes him hesitate, as An Tong said that at this time, there is still hope for a comeback; And if it is defeated, it will be a place of no return.

"Great Khan, fighter planes are hard to find, you should make a quick decision, don't be indecisive!" Seeing that the Great Khan was moved by his words, Yue Chi Cha'er still hesitated, and said again, "The Great Khan has doubts, and he can't expect peace, a paper covenant can't bind an ambitious wolf cub, and he must be hurt so that he doesn't dare to challenge our Mongol warriors again!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhenjin was a little annoyed when he heard this, and reprimanded sharply.

"Great Khan, the minister's heart is for the sake of the Great Khan, and what he says is from the bottom of his heart, and it is definitely not an intentional collision." Yuechi Cha'er prostrate on the ground, choking and speaking.

"Get up!" Zhenjin stared at Yue Chi Cha'er lying on the ground, he didn't speak for a long time, he was full of poetry and books, and he had experienced the establishment of Meng Yuan, so he naturally knew that no matter ancient or modern, the bloody lessons told him that peace does not need a treaty guarantee, but needs the endorsement of strong strength. At that time, all the departments on the grassland often swore blood to make an alliance, but who really obeyed it, it was just a trick of the strong devouring the weak. And when the Great Yuan had the strength to destroy the Southern Dynasty, what was the use of signing more covenants; And if the Southern Dynasty had the strength to hold Jiangnan, it would not need to be bound by any covenant at all.

"Great Khan ......" Yue Chi Cha'er raised his head, saw the real gold with a resolute look on his face, and knew that he had made up his mind, but he didn't know whether it was war or peace, he said sadly.

"I have made up my mind, and I have ordered Tutuha to lead the army to Fuli, and transfer the right color guard to reinforce his troops, defeat the current enemy, and relieve my danger in Gyeonggi; Ordered Tie Mai Chi to stay in Xuzhou, looking for fighters to chase and destroy the retreating enemy in Huainan......" Zhenjin dictated the order, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Daru Hua Chihe Weixian rushed to the rear camp of the Southern Army, burned the enemy's grain and grass, wounded the enemy chieftain, and made special contributions. Let them be cautious in the use of troops, and do not be greedy for merit and rash to be taken advantage of by the enemy! ”

"Great Khan, the ministers are willing to go to the messenger in person, lead the army to defeat the enemy, and capture and kill the puppet emperor of the Southern Dynasty!" Yue Chi Cha'er listened to it and saluted again.

"You better stay in Beijing, the current situation is critical, it is the time to employ people, I can't have a person by my side!" Zhenjin raised his hand to let him stand up and speak.

"Yes, Your Majesty sent someone to deliver the edict overnight to relieve the Khan's worries as soon as possible!" Yuechi Cha'er hurriedly went down to the palace after giving the salute.

"Summons Pingzhang and Zuo Xiang into the palace to discuss!" Zhenjin saw that Yue Chicha'er was far away, and he called an attendant to order. After some struggle, although he was determined to fight, it was still difficult to calm his heart, and he still had to deal with the aftermath.

After all, the Great Yuan and the Southern Dynasties at this time are no longer what they used to be. The Great Song Dynasty occupies the richest place in the south of the Yangtze River, with a population of tens of millions, even if it is defeated, it cannot hurt its roots, and can quickly recover its vitality and reorganize the army to fight again; The Great Yuan has been divided, internal strife continues, and the Central Plains region has not recovered after years of war and serious population losses. Although agriculture has recovered, the Yellow River has been flooding year after year, and there have been disasters and famines, and the food produced is difficult to feed the entire population. Once defeated, it is a fundamental injury, so he must be prepared with both hands to plan for everything......

"Your Majesty, Zhao Zhi sent an envoy to ask, our army has retreated for one hundred and fifty miles, and has not found that the enemy army has sent troops to pursue, whether it will continue to retreat!" Tan Fei walked up to His Majesty, who was examining the sand table, and said.

"Retreat, retreat another fifty miles, I don't believe they don't take the bait!" Zhao Yu nodded on the sand table.

"Your Majesty, if you retreat again and again, you will inevitably be demoralized and the morale of the army will be unstable!" Tan Fei said.

"No, inform the ministries that our current retreat is for tomorrow's counterattack!" Zhao Hao smiled, "Oh, you can pretend to be dejected and retreat in a hurry, and finally throw down some tents, carts, etc. along the way, don't still put on a bullish look!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tan Fei smiled.

"It's strange, how can the Tartar be so calm!" Zhao Yu put his pen on the sand table and muttered. After he had wiped out all the attacking enemy forces, he thought about how to mobilize the enemy forces in Yingtianfu and Xuzhou to break the current stalemate. He put back He Weixian to pass the false news to the enemy, and gathered the Fuli troops to make a gesture of withdrawal, while Xuzhou pretended to withdraw the army, lured the enemy out of the city to pursue, and then ambushed the soldiers to kill halfway, but the enemy army has not moved, so that he can not see the enemy's intentions clearly......
