The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 292 Changes in the situation

The next day, a fast horse left the city from Tanjin and headed straight for Wuzhou City.

On the afternoon of the same day, Boyan's general Meng Tuo led [-] troops out of Wuzhou City and headed for Cenxi.

There are only 6 troops left in Wuzhou City, and Boyan personally guards them.

The Song army had guerrilla tactics, and the Yuan army undoubtedly had corresponding strategies.Ye Su'er went to Tanjin to find out the real situation of the Song army, and Boyan sent his army to attack Cenxi, where Zhao Dongting personally sat in town, obviously planning to use two prongs.

At this time, there were only less than 3 Song troops in Cenxi County.

After Zhao and Luo led their troops to Cenxi, they escorted the people and soldiers to Leizhou.

In a short time, they obviously could not return to Cenxi.

In the government office of Cenxi County, after Zhao Dongting learned of the Wuzhou Yuan army's movement, he summoned all the generals. At this time, the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little heavy.

However, it was not the [-] army led by Monto that made the atmosphere heavy.It was a message from Feige in Leizhou.

The spies of the Song Dynasty had begun to spread at this time. The old eunuch Wu Lianying, who was in charge of the Military Intelligence Department, received the information from Lin'an, and then quickly passed it to Zhao Dongting.

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were once again appointed by Kublai Khan as chief and deputy commanders. They led an army of 15 soldiers from Lin'an and wanted to take Leizhou by sea.

Zhao Dongting didn't know how Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng persuaded Kublai Khan, but an army of 15 attacked Leizhou from Lin'an, which always made the situation worse in the Southern Song Dynasty.

And these two pieces of information came to him at the same time, which made him anxious like burning his butt.

Just dealing with Boyan and Ye Su'er is already exhausting.At this time, where did the Southern Song Dynasty still have troops to deal with Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng?

He announced the generals in a hurry, but he really had no idea in mind.Whether to withdraw or fight, a decision needs to be made as soon as possible.

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng sent troops to attack Leizhou at this time, no doubt the timing was perfect.Because it was the moment when Song Jun had just opened up the situation.

After a long while, no one spoke in the hall.

Dong Heli cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we withdraw our troops and defend Leizhou?"

But before Zhao Dongting could speak, Yue Peng had already said: "Leizhou has no natural dangers to rely on. I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand so many troops from the Yuan army. The 15 troops of Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng are enough to pose a threat to Leizhou. If our army retreats to Leizhou, and Boyan and Ye Su'er lead their troops in pursuit, our army may be destroyed."

"But……"

Dong Heli said: "Continue to entangle with the Yuan army here, how can Leizhou resist Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng?"

The hall was silent again.

Suddenly, Qin Han said, "If we can end the battle here before Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng arrive in Leizhou, then we still have a chance of winning."

The generals were slightly stunned, and then their faces turned bitter again.

How easy is it to end the battle before Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng arrive in Leizhou?

It doesn't take long to travel along the coastal road from Lin'an to Leizhou.

Zhao Dongting pondered slightly, and looked at Qin Han, "What does Mr. Qin say?"

Qin Han Shi Ran said: "Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were defeated by the emperor in Quzhou, and they must be afraid of the emperor in their hearts. If we can win a big victory here, with their usual calm temperament, it is very Maybe they won't dare to enter Leizhou again. Moreover, most of them should be in turmoil at that time. The Yuan army has suffered defeats here one after another, losing troops and losing generals. If you don't have the guts to put all your eggs in one basket, it's hard to say that Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng will enter Leizhou."

Although the Yuan Dynasty claimed to have millions of elite soldiers, that was all bragging.

In this era, it is not easy to have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers.There were millions of elite soldiers in the Yuan Dynasty, and most of them were miscellaneous troops.

Ye Su'er and Boyan sent troops to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, and it can be said that they had mobilized a small half of the Yuan army's elite soldiers.

If Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng's 15 were added, there would be hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers left in the entire Yuan Dynasty.

Kublai Khan may not be willing to take the risk again and bear such a loss.After all, the interior of the Yuan Dynasty was not very stable.

When Zhao Dongting heard Qin Han's words, he felt quite enlightened.

Yes, the military strength of the Yuan Dynasty was constantly depleting. How much money was Kublai Khan willing to spend to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty?

You know, after the farce where the brothers seized the throne, the Yuan Dynasty has not fully recovered until now.

At that moment, Zhao Dongting stopped hesitating, and said suddenly, "Okay, then let's compete with Boyan and Ye Su'er here."

The generals in the hall were a little hesitant.

Dong Heli said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, if our army fails to defeat Boyan and Ye Su'er in a short period of time, then I will face the situation..."

He didn't make the words too clear, but the meaning has been revealed.

If the Song Army could not defeat Boyan and Ye Su'er before Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng arrived in Leizhou, the Song Dynasty would almost be over.

Without Leizhou as the rear, Zhao Dongting and his army and horses would all become weeds. In the depopulated Guangnan West Road, there was no basis for wrestling with the Yuan army.Even the problem of food and grass is enough to make them collapse.

And why didn't Zhao Dongting know this?

He said slowly: "Retreating to Leizhou is a mortal situation, what else can we do?"

There was also some helplessness on his face.

Even though he was reborn in the Southern Song Dynasty with modern knowledge, he still felt that manpower was exhausted.

When he came, the gap between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty was really too big.To be able to reach this situation now, he has exhausted all his skills.

If it were someone else, even Qin Han, he would definitely not be able to turn the Southern Song Dynasty back from Kuanglan.

It can be said that the Southern Song Dynasty was able to defeat the Yuan army in a short period of less than four years, causing the Yuan army to suffer hundreds of thousands of losses, most of which were due to the firearms invented by Zhao Dongting.However, now he can only produce these firearms.

Not to mention that he was just an ordinary person in his previous life, even a military scientist, with the technological background of this era, he couldn't make it, right?
Under the hall, Yue Peng stood up abruptly and said: "Fight, fight. The final general agrees with the emperor's idea. He is willing to be the vanguard and go straight to Tanjin."

"nonsense!"

Zhao Dongting couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, "When did I let you take the Jinjin? Isn't that going to die?"

He pointed to the sand table in the main hall, and said: "Now the soldiers of our army in Tengzhou, except us who are in Cenxi, the rest of the soldiers have completely dispersed. To destroy the Yuan army, I think we should disperse the Yuan army. Then concentrate on encircling and annihilating them one by one. Only in this way will our army have a chance of winning."

He thought, wasn't that how they fought during the Anti-Japanese War?

He also said the same thing when he determined the big goals for Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Jue before.It's just that there was no such urgency at the time.

Su Quandang heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and said, "What does the emperor mean, that we take Su'e Town first?"

Naturally, they have now received the letter from Jin Hao's army, and learned that Yuan's army rushed to Su'e Town.

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, "Well, I want to give them a ten-regiment battle first. Let them see the power of our army's guerrilla tactics!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pick up more than a dozen small red flags on the sand table surrounding Tanjin County, and then inserted them all into Tanjin County, and said: "Before the Yuan army makes any other moves, let's use Thunder Destroy this Yuan army occupying Su'e Town!"

The faces of all the generals were slightly stern, although there was surprise in their eyes.

If more than a dozen divisions attacked Su'e Town at the same time as Zhao Dongting said, with the firearms in their army, if they wanted to destroy the Yuan army, it would be like finding something.

Then, Yue Peng said: "Your Majesty, what about the Yuan army that is coming straight to Cenxi?"

"retreat."

Qin Han took the lead in answering: "Only by showing the enemy weakness can you have a chance to advance."

Zhao Dongting didn't speak any more, just nodded slightly.

He led the army to evacuate Cenxi, should it paralyze the Yuan army a little?

If the Yuan army thinks that they dare not attack their opponents directly, it will undoubtedly be easier to steal Su'e Town by then.

Just like that, the policy to deal with the sudden change of the situation was formally finalized in the main hall of the Cenxi Mansion.

Before the generals left, Zhao Dongting personally wrote the superstition and asked Kuaima to convey it to Wen Tianxiang who was stationed at the border between Tengzhou and Rongzhou.

Although Zhao Dongting himself was in Tengzhou, except for the four armies of Tiankui, Tiangang, Tianji, and Tianxian, the rest of the army was still under Wen Tianxiang's direct control.

Zhao Dongting didn't want to give orders by leapfrogging, because that might damage Wen Tianxiang's prestige.

The breath of war, after a brief pause, quietly spread again in the territory of Guangnan West Road.
