Chapter 208: Moved to Caizhou

The Central Plains began to tremble under the attack of the Song army, and the Song army broke into the hinterland of the Central Plains with high morale, constantly attacking the state capital and county seat that appeared in front of them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Gao Huaiyuan also rode his white war horse, left Suizhou City, and took his general headquarters from Gwangju into the hinterland of the Central Plains.

The vast majority of the Jin army has a decadent look on their faces, moving slowly on the road half-dead, and there are also some people who look happy with a hippie smile, they don't have to think about it and know what they are happy about, war always has to die, they can be captured by the Song army, at least they saved their lives, and the Song army is also good to them, there is food and drink to support them, compared to when they follow the Jin army, the treatment is much better, so these people who are unwilling to give the Jin people are very happy to be prisoners of war...

Since Caizhou was conquered by Meng Heng's army, the Song army has basically recovered half of the Central Plains, and now Meng Hui's department is resting in Caizhou, waiting for Gao Huaiyuan's arrival, and at the same time, Li Xiaotian's Jiankang army is gathering in the direction of Caizhou, ready to start the next move.

The Song army fought to this extent, the Song army besieged Caizhou, Caizhou's Wanyan Zhongde sent a fast cavalry to report to Bianliang, saying that it might be difficult to hold Caizhou, and the Jin side finally began to break the boat, originally used to resist the Mongols in the Tongguan area, of which more than 30,000 people were ordered by Wanyan Shouxu to be led by Wanyan Heda and directly transferred to Xuzhou and Junzhou to prevent the Song army from continuing to go north, and at the same time transferred the Jin army in Henan Mansion and Zhengzhou under the jurisdiction of Wuxian to Bianliang to strengthen the strength of Bianliang, as for the Mongolian army, Wanyan Shouxu can't take care of a lot anymore, anyway, he wants to die, and it doesn't matter who he dies in. In addition to the loss of Huang Xu, a fierce general, the Song army suffered thousands of casualties, and countless grains and materials were consumed, so that it had to slow down the pace of going north, temporarily stationed in the Caizhou area, took a rest, and waited for the rear grain and straw materials to be transferred to Caizhou to replenish military supplies.

It was at this time that Gao Huaiyuan decided to personally go to Caizhou City to command the next Central Plains War, and led his troops to Caizhou City on May 12.

For Gao Huaiyuan's visit to Caizhou, the Song army stationed here was all excited, and under the leadership of Meng Heng, they went out of the city to greet each other, and the scale was very grand. . .

Gao Huaiyuan rode his horse first and came to Meng Hui, Meng Hui turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee in the middle of the road, and loudly pleaded to Gao Huaiyuan: "Humble welcome to the handsome!" This humble attack on Caizhou is not good, please punish the marshal! ”

Gao Huaiyuan also hurriedly turned over and jumped off the war horse, walked a few steps to Meng Heng, helped Meng Heng up, and whispered: "Big brother, what are you doing?" Is it difficult to kill the foolish brother? Recovering Caizhou is a great achievement, what a crime the eldest brother has! ”

Meng Heng replied: "This is the front of the army, the last general does not dare to call the commander a brother and brother, this attack on Caizhou, the last general is not in good command, so that our army suffers heavy losses, the last general feels guilty and does not dare to take credit!" I hope the handsome will be punished! ”

Gao Huaiyuan's face was a little unsightly, he held Meng Hui up hard, and said unhappily: "The enemy army is strong and weak, Wanyan Zhongde is a famous general of the Jin State, and Caizhou is a strong city, it is impossible to attack Caizhou without any losses!" General Meng was able to conquer Caizhou in less than half a month, beheaded his famous generals, and captured nearly 10,000 soldiers, which is already a miracle! Even if I were to take command, it wouldn't necessarily be much better than General Meng, so if you are still guilty, then this crime can only be borne by me! ”

After Meng Hui heard Gao Huaiyuan's words, he felt a little better in his heart, but he still whispered: "But the humble position still damaged Huang Xu's ......."

"Say no more! Although Huang Xu's matter is a pity, but as a general in the army, it is his luck to be able to die on the battlefield, we are ready for the generals at any time, he can be the first to attack Caizhou City, and it is not in vain for you and me to cultivate him! If other soldiers can die, he can also die, so what can you feel guilty about? Even if I am high and ambitious, I can die for our country at any time, let alone him? I don't have to mention this again, I won't forget the reward I should have given him!

I have invited the imperial court, named Huang Xu as the general of Yunlu, and added the founding marquis, for those who have contributed to this battle, they also have rewards, the battle of Caizhou is a great victory, and the government and the opposition have no objections!

There is no need to dwell on this matter, let's prepare to go north as soon as possible! Gao Huaiyuan immediately interrupted Meng Heng's words and said loudly to Meng Hui and his accompanying generals. Meng Hui stopped talking at this time, nodded and said, "Thank you, handsome!" ”

Song Jun watched Gao Huaiyuan gallop to the front of the army on a white horse, everyone's eyes flashed eagerly, and under the leadership of the officers, they knelt down and shouted: "See the ...... of the commander."

"Get up! The merits of this battle are enough to shine in the world, and you have worked hard! I, Gao, don't like your vulgar etiquette, cheer up your spirits, and follow this official to recover the Central Plains! The commanders of the army will listen to the order, and quickly take you and other soldiers to return to the camp to rest, and set off at any time! Gao Huaiyuan reined in the reins of the horse in front of the army, straightened his waist, and then carried enough strength to say loudly to the officers and soldiers of the three armies. The officers and men of the three armies immediately responded to the order, stood up together, and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Commander!" We waited for the handsome to die! ”

Gao Huaiyuan and Meng Heng and other generals entered the city of Caizhou, at this time Caizhou City still has the remains of the remains of the war, although the soldiers and civilians in the city are still cleaning up, but from time to time the ground can still see the black blood stains that have dried up, the original strong and abnormal Caizhou city wall, at this time also became like pockmark, potholes, the original south gate urn city has ceased to exist, even the inner city gate is just newly built, and still exudes a smell of tung oil...

And the city is still full of wreckage of houses damaged by the war, and even some places are still filled with a smell of burning, and the air is faintly filled with a ** smell, which shows the tragedy of the first battle in Caizhou.

Walking on the streets of Caizhou, Gao Huaiyuan sighed secretly in his heart, the course of history has already become unrecognizable from the original trajectory at this moment.

According to the old history, the Jin Dynasty will die in Caizhou the year after tomorrow, but now Caizhou City has been recovered by the Song army more than a year in advance, and the entire war situation has greatly deviated from the original historical trajectory, the Mongolian army has not yet invaded the Central Plains, and the Song army is dominant, and the Jin State has been unable to parry.

"What is the current situation with the problem of grain?" Gao Huaiyuan didn't wait for Meng Heng and his party to enter the Shuai Mansion, so he asked Meng Heng.

"The 100,000 stone grain sent by the Jingxi Road transfer envoy yesterday has arrived in Caizhou, and the problem of military food has been solved. It's just that I don't know when Li Xiaotian's Jiankang army will arrive here! Meng Hui replied while accompanying Gao Huaiyuan into the Shuai Mansion.

"Li Xiaotian also encountered trouble when he was in Yingzhou (now Fuyang, Anhui), the Yingzhou Jin army did not surrender, and the Jiankang army was delayed in Yingzhou for some time, and now it is on the road, we should be able to arrive here within three days, rest for two days, and within five days, we can leave for Xuzhou!" While speaking, Gao Huaiyuan, Meng Heng and the others entered the Shuai Mansion and sat down in the lobby...

"It's a pity that I am incompetent, if I can take Caizhou City a few days earlier, I can easily take Xuzhou and Junzhou, but because of this delay, Jin Guo transferred the Jin army in the Tongguan area, and the Jin army in Xuzhou and Junzhou has reached more than 50,000 people, I'm afraid we have to have a hard battle in Xuzhou!" Meng Hui showed a look of shame again and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"I have already said, Brother Meng doesn't have to blame himself, I am too underestimated the enemy, we all despised the Jin people's decisive resistance at the beginning, Wanyan Zhongde is an example, there are still many loyal people in the Jin country, and they are not willing to sit back and wait for death, Caizhou City can be defeated so quickly, it is already quite good!

Nothing can be as we wish, this battle is related to the life and death of the Jin country, and there are still many soldiers in the Jin country who are unwilling to sit back and watch them die! The battle of Xuzhou is also expected, and we don't have to worry too much about the Jin army there! Battles always have to be fought one by one, and Jin Guo will never admit defeat until the end! This matter is not in a hurry! Gao Huaiyuan sat behind the handsome case and explained again to Meng Heng...

After hearing this, the generals in the hall nodded slightly to express their agreement with Gao Huaiyuan's words.

"I didn't receive the situation of the Xiangyang Mansion Army on the road, did they send any news?" Gao Huaiyuan suddenly remembered that there was still a Xiangyang army that had no news during this time, so he immediately asked Meng Heng about the news of the Xiangyang army.

Meng Heng's face stiffened slightly, but he immediately stood up and bowed his head and replied: "Marshal Qiqi, the Xiangyang Army has sent news, after they captured Dengzhou, on the order of the marshal, the Xiangyang Army commanded Liu Zhi to unify the army, and went to Junzhou first out of Dengzhou, but a few days ago there was news that the Xiangyang Army was intercepted by the Jin Army General Wanyan Chen Monk 3,000 loyal and filial piety troops in the area of Sanfeng Mountain in Junzhou, and the two armies fought in Sanfeng Mountain for three days, and my Xiangyang Army was defeated, losing nearly half of it, and had returned to Dengzhou, but the marshal just left Suizhou, Failed to receive news from the Xiangyang Army! Liu Zhi is guilty! Please dispose of it! ”

Gao Huaiyuan's face sank immediately after hearing this, this Liu Zhi said that he was also a good general, and he used to think that this person was a good general, but judging from the performance during this time, Liu Zhi was obviously not a good general, he was hesitant when he attacked Dengzhou, and now let him lead the army to Junzhou to intercept the Jin army, but it caused such a big defeat, although Monk Wanyan Chen is indeed a tiger general in the Jin country, but the current equipment level and training level of the Song army are by no means below the Jin army, with 5,000 people against 3,000 people, He actually suffered a big defeat, and more than half of the lost soldiers fled back to Dengzhou, which shows that this guy is indeed a useless guy.

However, Gao Huaiyuan still had a detailed understanding of the defeat at that time, and it was the personnel of the Military Command Department in the Xiangyang Army who sent the information to Caizhou, and Liu Zhi couldn't lie if he wanted to.
