Chapter 1241: People's hearts are scattered

"Life is like a play, drama is like life!" Zhao Hao pondered the original and essence of the matter, put aside the music in his hand with a smile, drank tea and muttered with a view of the vicissitudes of the world.

Zhao Yu often heard this sentence in his previous life, but he may have been too young in the past to understand the meaning, and he always felt too negative. But now he can already understand the helplessness of life, he was inadvertently reborn in this era, and he was forced to step onto the stage of history. At that time, in the face of unfamiliar everything, I only had fear and helplessness in my heart, and I only thought about whether I could survive in the troubled times, and I did not have the slightest consciousness of making contributions.

And history still forced Zhao Hao, a little man who just wanted to struggle for a few years and live a life with a car and a house, to come to the foreground and play the role of the savior of a dynasty. But all this always made him feel unreal, he felt that it was just a dream, and when he woke up, he was still on the rusty freighter, and he still continued to live a boring and lucky life.

However, as his stage has changed from a big ship floating on the sea, to Qiongzhou in the land of projectiles, to Jiangnan, and the current Lianghuai, Zhao Yu's stage is getting bigger and bigger, but the dream of returning to modern times is getting less and less, and the freighter has gradually become unclear, and even the occasional dream is just a vague outline, and he also feels that he is too deep into the play and has integrated into the stage.

Now the stage is bigger, and there are more and more 'actors' on stage, Zhao Yu has finally moved from the front of the stage to the backstage, integrating editing, directing, acting, and planning, you can look at the whole stage from a top-down perspective, and watch them perform in front of you. But he is no longer a small actor on the 18th line, but a character who controls the fate of people on stage, who can make someone popular overnight, or make someone never have a chance to appear on stage again......

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Fu Li's great victory!" Just when Zhao Yu was experiencing the ups and downs of life, Wang De trotted into the cabin, and said loudly with joy on his face.

"Oh, Fu Li has been conquered, and the day of recovering Ying Tianfu is not far away!" Zhao Yu received the battle report that was presented, and he was also happy. Xuzhou has been recovered, Fuli has been taken again, and Tutuha has also been surrounded by the imperial guards in Liuzi Town, Yingtianfu only has some Mengyuan Zhenfu army, and it can't set off the storm.

"Recovering Yingtianfu, the day when we return to Beijing is not far away, several mothers are about to give birth, and they are all looking forward to Your Majesty!" Wang De said with a smile.

"Alas, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the birth of the child!" Zhao Hao sighed lightly and said. said that it was fast, but he also understood that the war could not end in ten days, and there was still a lot of aftermath work to be done, and the return date was difficult to determine!

Zhao Yu spoke, unfolded the battle report and looked at it carefully, he was still a little worried. According to the predetermined plan, Liu Zhixue's army was to besiege the enemy of Fuli but not attack, so as to induce the enemy troops of Xuzhou and Yingtianfu to come to help. The task of his subordinates was to contain them, so as not to break through in the direction of Yingtianfu with the Tutuha tribe after the enemy army of Fuli was attacked, which would bring great pressure to the imperial guards who were sent reinforcements from Liuzi Town.

Therefore, Zhao Yu meant that he still did not take the initiative to attack Fuli, but led but did not send to contain it, so that he would not dare to abandon the city, to prevent being chased and killed by the second army, and let Yuwa lose his luck with the Tutuha Department who came to help, thinking that he would not abandon him, and then fight Fuli this lonely city after eliminating Tutuha. What is surprising is that Liu Zhi's department actually recovered Fuli in advance, and if he broke through to the north, he would form a flanking attack on the first, second, and third brigades of the escort army led by Ni Liang, and break through the defense line and join forces with him.

However, to Zhao Yu's surprise, the Mengyuan guards did not show the tenacity of the past, and their fighting quality was not as good as that of their predecessors, as the saying goes, 'a litter of weasels is not as good as a litter of rats', and it seems that the comfortable life and the Great Khan's distrust of them have seriously weakened the loyalty of the Han army, and also made him overestimate their combat effectiveness.

According to the analysis of the battle report, Zhao Yu was probably the Yuwa who was defending Fuli, and after learning that Haraluwei, who came to Xuzhou's aid, was completely annihilated in Jiagouji, he had already panicked, and understood that the next target of the Song army's attack was Fuli. After Tutuha was ambushed by the Song army in Liuzi Town, he refused to come to Fuli to rendezvous, but turned around to open up the way back to Yingtianfu, obviously with no intention of coming to his aid, but treating him as an outcast to avoid being attacked from front and back. What is more worried is that the Song army attacking Xuzhou will take advantage of the victory to go south to join the battle of Fuli, so it will be too late if you don't leave at this time.

In this way, Tutuha and Yuwa lost their lives, and did not want to be their substitute for the dead ghosts, so they thought of breaking the second army in front of them with their own strength, not seeking to defeat them, but only to make the Song army lose the power to pursue. So he launched a surprise attack on the second army, and this caused Liu Zhixue's misunderstanding, thinking that it was going to attack Lingbi, you must know that Lingbi is where the camp is, only a regiment and a baggage regiment of the Imperial Front Guard Brigade are protected, and there are still a large number of military supplies stored here, he naturally can't let it endanger His Majesty's safety, and immediately launched a counterattack.

Yuwa lost the army and Liu Zhi's department have been facing each other outside the city of Fuli for two months, although the two sides have not broken out a big war, but there have been dozens of small battles, and they have not suffered any big losses, and even have a slight advantage. As for the failure of the attack on the zero wall, it was automatically filtered, and in his heart, it was flattened, and the opponent was also the most elite imperial protector of the Song army. Therefore, he thought that the Song army in front of him was not invincible, and he could not inflict heavy losses on it, but at least he could defeat it, and he did not dare to follow it when he retreated.

However, after the two sides engaged, Yuwa lost several times and attacked fiercely, but several attacks were repulsed, and the Song army array remained immovable. In his rage, he personally led the forward army to break the formation, and after the repeated impacts, he still could not shake the Song army's large formation, but almost lost the forward army, and he was also shot down by the Song army's artillery in the charge, and was seriously wounded. The Song army took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and with the support of artillery, the Song army broke the Mengyuan camp standing behind the city.

At this time, the Meng Yuan guards, who took over the command, commanded the left guard of the Han army, so that Bo Da'er saw that he could not resist and ordered to retreat to the city, but the pursuing Song army took the opportunity to seize the door and enter. The Yuan army that retreated into the city was caught off guard and fled from the north gate after resisting for a while, while the Song army was also in hot pursuit, they only took a breath after crossing the Suishui, but they did not dare to go to Xuzhou. Under the pursuit of the Song army, he turned to the north and retreated to the direction of Suixi County and Ma County, and only after crossing the Gubian River could he be regarded as getting rid of the pursuit of the Song army.

"That kid is still quite a thief, and he actually escaped!" Zhao Hao smiled when he read the war report. In this battle, the second army defeated the two armies of the Mengyuan guards, the Han army, the avant-garde and the left guard, recovered two county seats, beheaded more than 7,000 people, captured more than 5,000 enemies, captured and beheaded the enemy's left guards, and commanded Yuwa to lose more than 30 generals from 1,000 households and 100 households, and captured a large number of weapons and baggage.

"Your Majesty is referring to...... He is really fateful, if he is caught again, he is afraid that he will be cut down before he can be sent to His Majesty! As His Majesty's confidant, Wang De did not avoid him with some words, but he also understood what he could not say casually, so he quickly shut up when he realized that he was speechless, and turned to smile and laugh.

"He is far more valuable alive than dead, if he can successfully escape back to Dadu, the effect in the future can be compared to 100,000 troops!" Zhao Hao said with a smile. He knew that He Weixian would not die, and if he operated a little, coupled with the help of his family, he would definitely be able to escape punishment and go further, becoming a nail buried next to Zhenjin, providing himself with more valuable information, and even influencing Zhenjin's decision-making.

"Your Majesty, now that Fu Li has entered the hands of our court, Ying Tianfu is also within reach, and Tokyo is close at hand, so that Your Majesty's grand wish to recover the old capital can be realized!" Wang De wisely shut up, he knew that there were some things that he didn't want to know, so he turned to the words.

"Having said that, it's a pity that it's still out of reach, so let's stay in the future!" Zhao Yu waved his hand when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, do you want to ......" Wang De was taken aback, His Majesty shouted all day long in Qiongzhou to recover the old capital, but the old capital is close at hand, needless to say kick hard, now you only need to push the door to enter, but see the meaning of giving up, so he really can't understand. However, he didn't ask too much, knowing that there must be reasons why His Majesty had to consider.

In fact, as Wang De thought, Zhao Hao had his own considerations. After defeating the Yuxi Timurid Department, he commanded the army to go north to capture Lianghuai, and at that time he had already found the opportunity to recover Kaifeng, and he also planned with this goal and launched a strategic deployment. However, after comprehensive consideration, he felt that recovering Kaifeng at this time was not a great opportunity, even if it was very beneficial to him politically, but he thought that it would cause great difficulties in the later stage, and even drag down the entire strategic deployment.

Henan, named after the south of the Yellow River, and the "Hanoi" sandwiched between the Taihang Mountains and the Yellow River to the east, constitute the birthplace of the Three Rivers of Chinese civilization. This is the ancient "Henan", but also the core area of modern Henan, forming the famous three cities of northern Henan in the world: Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Kaifeng. Kaifeng appeared in history as the capital, and the most famous is the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, before the Northern Song Dynasty, it was also the capital of many regimes, dating back to the Warring States Period. From the Warring States period to the Northern Song Dynasty, it was a period of continuous upward development in Kaifeng. The reason why Kaifeng was able to rise rapidly after five generations and replace Chang'an and Luoyang as the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty is also inseparable from the foundation laid by this long history, but Kaifeng still has fatal flaws as the capital of a great power......
