The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1653 To Jingzhao
Then everyone hurried out of the government office and headed towards the south gate.

When they arrived outside the south gate, the soldiers of the Heavenly Sword Army led by Monto were already closer to Weinan County.

Although Liu Zhuwen led the cavalry from the two major military regions of Dali and Shuzhong to take down Jingzhao Mansion and paid a lot of damage, but at this time the Tianjian Army still has about seven or eight thousand soldiers.

This still looks quite majestic.

Xi Gaoxuan, Xu Mukun and the others were delighted to see the banner of the Heavenly Sword Army clearly.

Xu Mukun said to Ling Chengzhi and other generals of the Bai Jin Army: "They are the soldiers of the Heavenly Sword Army of our Dali Military Region!"

Ling Chengzhi and the others were also overjoyed.

They have been worrying about the Yuan army coming these days, but now that the Tianjian army has arrived, this worry has naturally faded a lot.

The Tianjian Army is the forbidden army in the Dali Military Region, and their combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to that of the Baijin Army.As long as the Yuan army does not invade in large numbers, Weinan County will certainly have no worries.

Liu Zhuwen's previous plan to connect Weinan and Lantian counties is now considered a success.

After Mengto led the soldiers of the Heavenly Sword Army to the city, Ling Chengzhi and other generals of the Baijin Army hurried down to the city, and personally invited the soldiers of the Heavenly Sword Army to the city.

The presence of this large army should have reassured the Baijin Army and the common people in Weinan County.

After entering the city, Ling Chengzhi invited Meng Tuo and others to the government office, and asked Meng Tuo to sit on the main seat.

They sat in the main hall and talked about the current situation of the entire Jingzhaofu Road.

Shi Kaiji led more than [-] people from the Central Shu Military Region to station in Languan.

Liu Zhuwen's Dali Military Region has five forbidden troops stationed in Lantian. Excluding the Tianjian Army and the damage from the previous attack on Jingzhao Mansion, there are about [-] troops.

Then there are people like Tianjian Army and Bai Jin Army in Weinan County, who add up to over ten thousand.

Chai Liren's army is about 15.

In terms of military strength, there is not much difference between the two sides.

So Monto and other generals of the Heavenly Sword Army looked quite relaxed.

Now that Bai Jinjun has no worries, it depends on how Liu Shuai and Shi Shuai plan to fight this battle.

In terms of hard power, the combat effectiveness of the Dali Forbidden Army and the army of the Central Shu Military Region definitely surpassed that of the Yuan Army.

And as long as the name of the Baijin Army spreads gradually, there will only be more rebels behind the Yuan Army in the future.

At that time, the Yuan army will inevitably be battered.In this battle, the chances of the Great Song Army winning are extremely high.

They were only discussing in the government office, and they obviously didn't know the current situation in Jingzhao Mansion.

After Chai Liren's army took over Jingzhao Mansion, Chai Liren arranged the army tightly around Jingzhao Mansion.

In the mountains, official roads, etc. on the outskirts of the counties around Jingzhaofu, the guard posts of the Yuan army can be described as densely packed.

Chai Liren's order to his subordinates was to "defend Jingzhao."

At this moment, he didn't dare to have any thoughts about the destruction of Shuzhong and Dali soldiers.

Because he also understood that with the annihilation of the 8 yuan army of Jingzhao Mansion, he could no longer surpass the Song army in terms of strength.

Only if he sticks to Jingzhao and waits for Zhenjin who sits in the court to come up with a countermeasure, or sends Yuan troops over, can he break the embarrassing situation on Jingzhaofu Road at this time.

Before that, if he wanted to attack the army of Shuzhong and Dali, it would be no different from sending him to death.

Even though he had been in Zhongdu for many years, he had heard of the names of Shi Kaiji and Liu Zhuwen.Especially Liu Zhuwen, who can be said to be the most popular marshal in the Song Dynasty.

His promotion path was much faster than that of Yue Peng and Su Quandang.

At this time, the imperial envoy sent by Zhenjin from Zhongdu finally arrived at Jingzhao Mansion.

After hearing the news, Chai Liren personally led the high-ranking generals in the army to meet the imperial envoy outside the North City Gate.

"Lord Hu!"

The imperial envoy brought about hundreds of imperial guards to the gate of the city, and before they got off their horses, Chai Liren was the first to say hello.

This imperial envoy surnamed Hu is not the eunuch next to Zhenjin, and he is quite familiar with Chai Liren.

They have been officials in the same dynasty for many years.

And before Chai Liren took command, the influence of this imperial envoy in the Yuan Dynasty should still be comparable to that of the retired Chai Liren.

Hu Che, the left servant of the Ministry of War in the Yuan Dynasty.

Hu Che is also a veteran of the Yuan Dynasty, and even when Kublai Khan was alive, he was already the left servant of the Ministry of War.

At the moment when the two countries are at war, this position becomes even more important.

Although Hu Che was not the minister of the auxiliary state left by Kublai Khan to Zhenjin, his status in the court was only inferior to those ministers of the auxiliary state.

On the horse, he also bowed his hands to Chai Liren, "Chai Shuai! It's been a long time!"

Then he got off his horse.

Chai Liren invited Hu to go to the city, and asked: "Is Hu Shilang here to escort our army to deliver food and grass?"

He looked behind him with some doubts in his eyes.

Hu Che came with hundreds of guards. This didn't look like a battle to escort food and grass.

What Chai Liren said just now was just to change the topic.

Hu Che chuckled, and said, "Shuai Chai was joking, it's not like you don't know that I'm an imperial envoy, so is there any reason for imperial envoys to escort food and grass?"

Chai Liren also laughed.

Hu Che said again: "The army escorting food and grass has stopped halfway. I came here to convey the emperor's will to you, Chai Shuai."

Chai Liren was slightly moved, "I don't know what the emperor's intention is?"

But Hu Che said: "Let's wait until the government office, but I think this should be good news for you, Chai Shuai."

Chai Liren quietly quickened his pace.

Go to the main hall of the government office.

He only asked the maid to pour tea, and then looked at Hu Che eagerly.

Hu Che, who was about fifty years old, stroked his beard lightly, his face became more solemn, and said: "Marshal Chai Liren of the West Road received the order..."

Chai Liren adjusted his clothes and knelt down in front of Hu Che.

Hu Daodao: "The emperor ordered Chai Liren to lead his army to retreat temporarily. If the Song army pursues them, they will deal with them and not fight decisively!"

"retreat?"

Chai Liren was stunned: "Why did the emperor ask me to retreat?"

Hu Che frowned, his expression became calm again, and he said: "Chai Shuai doesn't know that the emperor's imperial decree was issued after he learned of the fall of Jingzhao Mansion. He was worried that it would be difficult for you to lead the army on Jingzhao Mansion Road. Wrestling with the Song army occupying Jingzhao Mansion, that's why I want you to deal with it. The emperor has ordered people to go to the grassland, let Naiyan prince negotiate with the grassland feudal kingdom, and let him send troops to help. Before that, the emperor was unwilling I saw you fighting the Song army."

"But, but now Jingzhao Mansion is in our hands..." Chai Liren said.

Hu Che heard the words and said: "This should be beyond the emperor's expectation, Chai Shuai, you might as well wait a little longer. I think the emperor will issue a new imperial edict soon."

He also knew that the Jingzhao Mansion was in the hands of Chai Liren, and it was completely different from being in the hands of Song Jun.

Therefore, this oral order should be uncountable.

The emperor has no reason to let Chai Liren give up Jingzhao Mansion in vain. After all, Jingzhao Mansion is a heavy city barrier.

Dealing with the Song army here can consume the Song army's time more than anywhere.It's just that there is no need to stick to Jingzhao Mansion regardless of the cost.
