After Yan Shouxu transferred the Jin army in the Zhengzhou area, the Jin army along the Yellow River in Zhengzhou was greatly weakened, and it was no longer able to contain the long Yellow River. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 On May 19, the fifth year of Shaoding, Tachar, the commander of the Mongolian Middle Route Army, finally crossed the Yellow River with more than 30,000 Mongolian troops in Wuzhi.

The Jin army on the south bank of the Yellow River only resisted slightly, then scattered and fled into Zhengzhou, where Tachar led a large Mongol army and then arrived outside Zhengzhou on the evening of 18 May.

The Jin army in the city of Zhengzhou under the leadership of the Jin general Wu Tianduo, the next day and the Mongolian army began to fight, only three days, Zhengzhou was conquered by the Mongolian army, Wu Tianduo was defeated by the hanged in the city, only a few Jin troops opened the east gate, broke out of the city of Zhengzhou, fled to Bianliang.

On the 22nd, the city was broken, the Tachar soldiers plundered in the city, slaughtered the city for one day, 30,000 soldiers and civilians in Zhengzhou city on the second day when the Mongolian army sealed the sword, there were less than 3,000 people left, and nine out of ten people were killed by the Mongolian army. . .

At this time, Gao Huaiyuan was still leading the army to Xuzhou on the way, he and the generals were in a good mood, and the destruction of the Jin army along the way to Yanheda made the Central Plains defeat the final word, on the way they were advancing, there was basically no power to stop them from the Jin State, although Xuzhou was still under the control of the Jin army, but there was no need to worry, and conquering Xuzhou was just a matter of now.

However, to Gao Huaiyuan's surprise, the Mongol army still took the lead, crossed the Yellow River, and captured Zhengzhou, which suddenly plunged the already clear battle situation into chaos.

After hearing the news from the scouts, Gao Huaiyuan didn't say a word, and immediately ordered to speed up the advance, and led the 20,000 Song troops of Meng Heng's department to arrive at the city of Xuzhou before nightfall.

The Jin army in Xuzhou was already frightened at this time, and the news of their commander's defeat and surrender made them panic, and in the face of the black Song army outside the city, the Jin army in the city immediately panicked. Although Xuzhou is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it was once a famous city in the Three Kingdoms period, but in this era, Xuzhou City is no longer an important place, just because Xuzhou is located in the plains, it can be said that there is no danger to defend, and the only thing that can be relied on is the old city wall now, and when Wanyan Heda raised troops to Linying, he ordered the Junzhou Jin Army to move to Xuzhou, but did not wait for the Junzhou Jin Army to drive to Xuzhou, but the Song Army went to Xuzhou first.

And the Jin army, which had already left Junzhou City, also learned the news of Wanyan Heda's defeat and surrender after encountering the Song army that intercepted them, and then turned around and ran back to Junzhou City, and no longer dared to march towards Xuzhou...

The slow movement of the Jin army in Junzhou made Xuzhou completely sing the empty city plan, and in the entire Xuzhou city, there were only less than 3,000 old and weak soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, so when Gao Huaiyuan and Meng Heng led the troops to arrive at the city of Xuzhou, the Jin army in the city did not hesitate for too long, and opened the city to surrender to the Song army that night, and Xuzhou was recovered by the Song army.

Gao Huaiyuan, Meng Heng, Zhou Hao, and a number of generals began to be troubled by the situation in front of them.

It was not that they did not consider the possibility of the Mongol army crossing the river into the Central Plains before they advanced to Bianliang, but after this attack, the battle went a little too smoothly, so that they all thought that before their troops surrounded Bianliang City, the Mongol army had no chance to cross the river and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains.

But now the situation has become complicated, Gao Huaiyuan must make a decision...

"How many troops did the Mongols cross the river?" Gao Huaiyuan asked a general in charge of intelligence. "According to the remnants of the Jin army who fled from the direction of Zhengzhou, the Mongolian army has a lot of troops, and they can't tell how many people there are, but we guess that this time the Mongolian army should cross the river with about 30,000 or 40,000 people, which is also in line with the information we received some time ago!

However, the specific situation is still unclear, because since the defeat of the Mongol Ögedai Khan's Western Route Army in attacking Hezhongfu, we do not know the situation of the part of the Mongol army in Ögedai, and as for whether the Mongol army on the Ogedei Road has converged with the Mongol army on the Tachar Road, we cannot determine now!

Once the Western Route Army of Ogedai and the Central Route Army of Tachar converge, their strength should reach more than 100,000 men! And that's not counting the number of the Mongol armies under Polu's command! The counselor in charge of intelligence immediately replied...

Gao Huaiyuan touched the beard on his chin and thought nervously, and then asked, "Has there been any news from Jingdong Pay Daquan in the past few days?" ”

"It's been heard! We've just received the news too! After Fu Daquan's department and the fire army captured Hejian Province, they marched towards Baozhou, and Polu gathered 30,000 Mongolian troops into Baozhou to resist Fu Daquan's department, Fu Daquan failed to enter Kebaozhou due to insufficient troops, so he detoured south to Dingzhou, Polu led the army out of Baozhou to pursue Fu Daquan's department, the two armies on May 13, in the north of Qizhou, Fu Daquan's department failed to defeat Polu's Mongolian army, but it was not defeated, both sides suffered losses from each other, and then according to the plan formulated by the marshal at the beginning, retreated to Shenzhou on May 19, Polu led his army to the west of Shenzhou and stopped the pursuit! Now the two armies are facing each other in the Shenzhou area, and Fu Daquan is waiting for the marshal's order! "There is a staff member who immediately informed Gao Huaiyuan of the news of Fu Daquan...

"What about Zhao Futang? How's he's progressing? Gao Huaiyuan then asked.

"General Zhao had conquered Caozhou at the beginning of the month, but after he led his army to conquer Caozhou, he was blocked by nearly 30,000 Jin troops, and was also harassed by a Mongol army of nearly 10,000 people.

Zhou Jun's troops are limited, and although his former army has entered the suburbs of Bianliang, during this time, Jin Guowuxian led the army back to Bianliang, making it temporarily shrink back to Guide Mansion to hold on! The Martial Immortal Army also tried to recover the Defu, and now Zhou Jun's troops can't get out for the time being! The general simply told Gao Huaiyuan about the situation of Zhao Futang and Zhou Jun's department in one go. Gao Huaiyuan also knew these things, and the reason why he asked was to make sure that there was no new news in the past two days, and to let the generals under his command also know about the situation.

"It seems that things are going in a direction that is not in our favor! The crossing of the river by the Mongol army of Tachar is very bad news for us, and completely disrupts our original plan!

Now we can't tell whether the Mongol army on the road of Ogedai has also been transferred to the Weizhou area, and if Ogedai has been transferred to Weizhou, then the situation will be very unfavorable for us!

Although our army has a lot of troops, after attacking this place, we also have to divide our troops to garrison the states and counties along the way to ensure our army's food routes!

At this point, we have only more than 30,000 troops at our disposal! Once Ogedai also turns into the Central Plains from the direction of Weizhou, then we will face nearly 100,000 Mongol troops!

It's time for Jin Guo to linger for a while! Now the Kingdom of Jin is no longer our main enemy! As soon as the Mongol army crossed the Yellow River, the situation became more variable, and before we had a decisive victory with the Mongol army, it seemed that the Jin country still had to breathe for a while!

Brother Meng, Li Xiaotian, please also tell me your opinions! What do we do next? Gao Huaiyuan looked at the map and had a headache, everything was going well, if the Mongolian army did not pass the Yellow River, he believed that in another month, he would basically be able to control the entire Central Plains, and then turn around and deal with the Mongolian army. . .

But at this time, the Mongols still ran over and inserted a pole, although history has been changed by him, but this does not mean that their Song army must be able to easily occupy the Central Plains...

Meng Hui and Li Xiaotian, who had just rushed over from Linying County, also touched the beard on their chins, and carefully observed the big map hanging on the wall by the light in the lobby, and the situation of the three parties had been marked on the map.

"I wonder what the situation is on the side of the Western Route Army?" Meng Heng didn't say his opinion first, but asked about the situation of the Western Route Army first, and Li Xiaotian didn't speak first, but also nodded and looked at Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan looked at the two of them with a small flag in his hand for marking the map, and said: "The overall situation of the Western Route Army is not bad, but it has also encountered some trouble, in order not to affect morale during this time, I haven't told you about this matter for the time being!"

The good news is that Huang Yan's department has recovered Hezhong Mansion and controlled a large area around Hezhong Mansion, Li Ruohu and Lu Youliang have recovered Yan'an Mansion, Yue Kun's department has conquered Xiliang Mansion some time ago and is attacking in the direction of Xuanzhou, the Mongolian army does not have many troops in the original Western Xia, Yue Kun will not have any problems, today I have sent someone to send a letter to Hua Yue, asking him to mobilize Yue Kun's department to attack in the direction of Xingqing, it is best to contain more Mongolian troops...

Now the trouble they encountered was that they failed to capture Pingyang Mansion according to the original plan, and the 20,000 Song troops of Lu Youliang's department were suddenly attacked by the elite cavalry of the Wokotai Department when they entered the west of Pingyang Mansion, and the whole army was routed and suffered great losses! Now Li Ruohu has gathered the remnants and retreated to the area of Yan'an Mansion to garrison!

Therefore, the situation on the side of the Western Route Army can only be said to be optimistic for the time being, but it cannot be said that everything is going well! ”

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's introduction, Meng Hui and Li Xiaotian both looked at the map again, and Meng Heng continued: "Now I think that I can only give up attacking Bianliang first!" Our army must now determine the movement of the Mongol army! Now that the Mongols have crossed the river, what are their next moves? It's hard to say!

For the sake of prudence, I think that we should first present our troops in the area of Xuzhou and solve the nearly 10,000 gold army in Junzhou as soon as possible, otherwise, if we keep this Jin army on our flank, it will be a disaster sooner or later! ”

Li Xiaotian also nodded and followed Meng Heng and said: "The humble post agrees with Lord Meng's opinion, and the Jin army in Junzhou will be solved by the humble post!" After taking Junzhou, we will be safer! ”

Gao Huaiyuan nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, those Jin troops in Junzhou really need to be solved as soon as possible!" Otherwise, it will threaten the grain routes in our rear, and now although the Central Plains has harvested a season of summer grain, it is far from enough for our army to consume! It is also necessary to rely on the rear to transport grain and straw to fund the military!

We came out of Caizhou this time, the amount of grain and straw we carried was limited, although we took Xuzhou, but the grain here is only enough for us to last for more than ten days, we must first ensure that the grain road is not lost! According to what you said, fight Junzhou first, and after solving Junzhou, then fight with the Mongolian army! ”

Li Xiaotian immediately straightened his waist and clenched his fists and said, "This matter will be left to the end of the world!" The lowly government will immediately lead the army to Junzhou, in order to conquer Junzhou as soon as possible! ”
