The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 327 Guangxi Decisive Battle ([-])
When Wen Tianxiang brought Meng Tuo and others to the main hall of the government office, Zhao Dongting was still talking to Song Bitao and Deng Yezhou.

Meng Tuo and others knelt outside the hall, "Send Meng Tuo and others to kowtow to the emperor."

Song Bitao and Deng Yezhou were greatly surprised.

When the soldiers reported the news before, Zhao Dongting avoided the two of them, so they didn't know about Monto's surrender until now.

They were generals in the Yuan army, so of course they knew the name of Monto.At this moment, they couldn't help being surprised.

Zhao Dongting stood up, walked outside the hall and helped Meng Tuo up, saying: "General Meng, you don't need to be formal."

Monto took advantage of the trend, and he just felt that the little emperor of the Song Dynasty was really extraordinary.He had seen Boyan accept surrendered generals before, and he was definitely not as respectful and virtuous as Zhao Dongting, and there was no trace of falsehood on his face.

Song Bitao and Deng Yezhou were under Ye Su'er's command, so they didn't get up to salute.It's just that both of them resigned with great insight.

Zhao Dongting didn't keep the two of them either, and after they left, Wen Tianxiang, Meng Tuo and others sat down in the main hall.

Monto didn't speak, and the generals under his command naturally sat obediently.

A maid comes in with tea.

Zhao Dongting looked at Meng Tuo deeply, and said, "I wonder if General Meng can clear up my confusion?"

Monto was startled slightly, and then said: "Please speak, Your Majesty."

Zhao Dongting had no intention of going around the corner, and said directly: "As far as I know, there should be more than [-] soldiers under General Meng's command? With such strength, why did he suddenly choose to surrender to our court? Could it be that he received a letter from our army? News that has broken through?"

Monto smiled wryly, "The emperor captured Princess Pearl, and I have been defeated repeatedly. How can I bear such a responsibility."

Seeing that Zhao Dongting asked straightforwardly, he didn't say those lies and routines, but directly expressed what was in his heart.

Of course, this is also because Monto is extremely jealous of Zhao Dongting, he can't see through him, and he is afraid that telling lies will offend this little emperor with a deep city.

Zhao Dongting showed a slight look of surprise, "I see, it seems that I have underestimated the status of Princess Pearl."

Monto didn't answer the question.

Zhao Dongting laughed twice, and said again: "What plans does General Meng have in the future?"

Monto's eyes flashed with surprise, "Could it be that the emperor doesn't want to take me in?"

Zhao Dongting's words frightened him.

He led the army to the Song Dynasty. If Zhao Dongting did not accept him, but recruited his soldiers, where else could he go?

The Yuan Dynasty had supervisory agencies, green forest camps, etc. in various places. Where did he hide and not die?
In order to save face, the Yuan Dynasty would never let him live.

Even the generals under Monto's command changed color.

Zhao Dongting laughed and said, "If General Meng is willing to serve me, of course I would be very happy. Didn't I ask you what your plan is? A twisted melon is not sweet. If you don't want to serve me, Of course I can’t force it.”

Monto left the desk and fell to his knees on the ground, "The general Monto is willing to serve the emperor."

He didn't know whether Zhao Dongting's words were true or not, but he could be sure that leaving the Song Dynasty would bring him no fruit.

"Willing to serve the emperor."

The generals under his command also knew that there was no way out, they could only rely on the big tree of the Song Dynasty to save their lives, and hurried forward and knelt down.

Zhao Dongting stared at them for a few seconds, and said: "Generals, please stand up. If that's the case, then you should stay in our army first, and wait until I have repelled all the Yuan troops that attacked the Xiujiang River. The generals assign positions in the army."

When dealing with Monto and the others, he no longer gave them the same choice as he did with Song Bitao.

After all, Song Bitao was a general of the Song Dynasty, and he was dedicated to serving the people.As for Monto and the others, it's hard to say.

At this time, no matter which emperor Ren is, he might not immediately arrange positions for them.If the arrangement is low, they will feel dissatisfied. If the arrangement is high, they have to worry that they will cause trouble. After all, there are more than 3 soldiers who surrendered. If they mutiny, it will be troublesome.

Although Monto and the others were a little disappointed, they didn't dare to force them, so they had to accept their orders.

Afterwards, the atmosphere in the main hall was a bit strange, after a while, Zhao Dongting asked everyone to disperse because he was tired.

When he returned to the bedroom that night, he sat under the oil lamp and lost his mind for a long time.

As long as the Yuan army is defeated, it can be predicted that the entire Guangnan West Road will return to the hands of the Song Dynasty.As for the more than 20 state capitals on the entire Guangnan West Road, except for a few state capitals in the west that are still governed by the government, the rest of the state capitals are in a state of no governance.The emperor Zhao Dongting had to think about who would be appointed as officials in these state capitals.

Being an emperor is not an easy job.

Moreover, those state governors who had taken a bystander attitude to the overall situation of the Song Dynasty in the past were bound to be replaced.

The outside of the bag must be settled first, and Zhao Dongting intends to consolidate the entire Guangnan West Road.Because only in this way can we have the energy to recover the surrounding roads.

When it was almost dawn, soldiers finally rushed to the north of Xiujiang Town.

Miao Youli, Lu Yu, Jin Hao and others led the army to Xiujiang Town overnight, because most of the Yuan army was chasing after the scouts, so they didn't dare to rest all night. It is to keep marching.By this time, all the soldiers looked dispirited.

Fighting is extremely tiring, and after fighting, rushing on the road overnight makes it even more difficult for these ordinary soldiers to stand up.

Just after bypassing the mountains, you can see several Song army formations ahead.

Zhang Jue led the Tianwei, Tianyong, Tianfu, Tiangu and other troops to prepare for battle here.

In the entire Xiujiang River, except for the Tiankui, Tiangang, and Qiongzhou armies who conquered Mengto last night, who were still resting, the rest of the army had already set up their formation here.

Seeing the banners of the Song Army in the army ahead, Zhang Jue faintly showed excitement.

Miao Youli, Jin Hao and others were even more excited, and the soldiers burst out of strength again, and ran forward at a faster speed.

When the two armies met, Zhang Jue laughed loudly and said, "General Miao and General Jin, you finally came back."

Miao Youli had lingering fears in his heart, "Yes, the Deputy Commander. We narrowly escaped death this time. If the emperor's reinforcements hadn't arrived, we might not be able to come back."

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Jue laughed loudly and said in high spirits: "Go back to the town to rest first, and I will block the Yuan army for you."

Miao Youli and the others were not too polite, they bowed their hands, and led the soldiers across the empty space in the middle of the army formation.

Zhang Hongwei was standing next to Zhang Jue at this time, and said softly: "Deputy military order, the Yuan army is powerful, do we want the army and horses in the town to rush over?"

Zhang Jue shook his head and said, "For the time being, let them rest. We have so many firearms in our army, and we also have the Flying Army to help us. Although there are many Yuan troops, it is impossible to break through our army formation."

Zhang Hongwei nodded and stopped talking.

Everyone was looking ahead, waiting for the Yuan army to appear.

Ten minutes passed like this, and a scout rushed back from the front to report, "Deputy Marshal, the yuan army is only twenty miles away from our army."

Zhang Jue nodded slightly, "Okay, let's explore again."

Wave after wave of scouts came back, and he kept repeating this sentence.

It was already bright and hot, and the soldiers in formation sat on the ground, joking with each other.

After nearly two hours, the sun had risen above the head, and the Yuan army finally appeared.

Their army was more than [-], and their marching speed was naturally slower than that of Jin Hao and Miao Youli.

Looking at each other from a distance, it can be seen that although the Yuan army is densely packed, its morale is low.

They were blown up by the Flying Army in the delta, and then they traveled all night without eating or drinking, so they were naturally exhausted.

Tuoheer and Wang Lei both looked ugly, but there was nothing they could do.They chased in a hurry without carrying any food and grass at all.

After ordering the generals to line up, the two met in front of the army.

Tuoheer said: "General Wang, do you really want to attack?"

Seeing the Song army waiting in full force, with the grenade launchers and thunderbolt cars lined up neatly in front of the army, he really didn't have much confidence in his heart.

Wang Lei said: "I have ordered the scouts to go to General Monto's barracks. Whether to attack or retreat, let's wait for the scouts to come back!"

At this time, they were still about two miles away from the Song Army's formation.

While Wang Lei and Tuoheer were waiting for the news, the two armies faced each other like this.

Zhang Jue watched the Yuan army line up, but there was no movement, so he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

He deliberately didn't let the Qiongzhou Army and Tiangang Army come, because he was afraid that there would be too many soldiers and the Yuan army would not dare to attack.Unexpectedly, Yuan Jun still hesitated.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

Monto!

The Yuan army in front of him must be waiting for Monto.

And Monto has surrendered, if they get the news, will they dare to attack?
