At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 50 Situation

"Then Lin Zhizhou commanded the rear army to enter the city and fought with Yuan Lu until evening. Yuan Lu retreated and Wang Division occupied Fengqiao Town.

According to statistics that night, [-] people were beheaded, and the King's Division suffered more than [-] casualties, and was no longer able to fight anymore.

After investigation, it was found that Yuan Lu stabbed the horse's ears and blinded the horse's eyes, so the horse was not afraid of thunder. However, his soldiers were still frightened, and there were camps and chariots blocking them, so they could not rush into the formation.

It was also discovered that all the people in Fengqiao Town had been relocated by the Yuan captives, and Zhuji and Kuaiji counties had been fortified and cleared, making it impossible to supply supplies on the spot. In order to prevent the Yuan captives from cutting off their back roads and food routes, I gathered some of the grain and grass and then retreated to Shengxian County to defend it.

At present, Shengxian and Xinchang are in ruins. I discussed with Lin Jingxi and wanted to return to Xinchang to prevent Yuan raiders from plagiarizing the grain route.

The minister bowed his head and bowed again, and His Majesty Fu Wei made a decision. "

Zhao Shi handed the battle report to Chen Yizhong and remained silent.

Chen Yizhong read it over, and after everyone knew the process and results, Zhao Shi said: "There are two problems in this battle. First, the soldiers are poorly trained and cannot quickly form formations when encountering enemy attacks. Second, they underestimate the enemy and underestimate Yuan Lu's fighting spirit and strategy. "

Lu Xiufu said: "The fault is not with Liu Shiyong, but everyone above and below was arrogant because of the thunder, which led to this mistake."

Chen Yizhong said: "Although there were heavy casualties and no success, the soldiers and civilians had the courage to fight to the death. They should be rewarded. Liu Shiyong and others can just reprimand them."

Zhao Shi said: "The Privy Council discussed the matter, and Lu Wu was appointed as the commander. Chen Wei and Yang Zhenlong were each deputy commanders. They led three thousand troops and supervised grain and grass to support Liu Shiyong."

"Your Majesty." Ma Tingluan, the new Minister of Household Affairs, said: "If the local grain and grass cannot support it, the central grain and grass can only be maintained, and there is no power for them to advance. They must wait until the summer harvest to advance."

"How about Wuzhou and Xinzhou, can they support it?" Zhao Shi asked.

Because Ali Hague's courage was broken, Jiang Zheng's advance went smoothly. After taking all Wuzhou and controlling Meiling, he divided his troops to go to Wuzhou and Xinzhou.

After capturing Wuzhou, Jiang Zheng and Liu Shiyong can be united. Beyond Xinzhou, it is Jiangxi Longxing Prefecture (Nanchang), and they can join forces with Jiang Wanzai to advance troops.

But logistics is the key. No matter how good the morale is, you can't lift the knife even if you are hungry for two days.

Ma Tingluan replied: "I am in the process of investigating, but after the central government paid Liu Shiyong, it is no longer able to support Jiang Zheng."

Just after taking office, I sorted out the central data, which is already very good. As for the local level, even in the Internet age, the requirements cannot be so high.

As for the situation in various states and counties in Fujian and Guangdong, no data has been sent yet, and it is impossible to make a judgment.

Zhao Shi said helplessly: "Call Jiang Zheng, if you can raise money and food by yourself, you can continue to advance the army. If you can't, stick to the place. It won't be too late to advance the army after the summer harvest."

While they were discussing, a guard came to report that Li Tingzhi had passed the mouth of Oujiang River and was about to enter the city.

Zhao Yukun said: "Li Tingzhi has been guarding Huaidong for two years without losing anything. I would like to ask your Majesty to welcome him personally to show his kindness."

Zhao had this intention and immediately played it accurately.

It was already May, and the heat was already in full swing. Zhao Shi led his group of ministers to the pier and waited and watched.

Although business travelers were stranded due to the embargo, no one complained.

There are not many opportunities to see the emperor at a close distance.

"I thought that when an official travels, he will be surrounded by crowds and palace ladies, but I didn't want it to be so shabby."

"Officials are frugal and dedicated to the public affairs, and they never pay attention to ostentation. If it weren't for the assassination of a traitor in the past, there would not be many guards accompanying them."

"With this British leader in our country, why should we worry about the loss of our country?"

"If officials are kind, the country will be restored. No wonder they have lowered the price of wine again, so we can all be happy."

"Now that both the army and the people are short of food, why not drink a few sips less? If you endure the craving for a while, you will be rewarded when the country recovers."

Because of the distance, Zhao could not hear the people's comments and could only look at the river in a daze.

At this time in history, he should have gone to Fuzhou and was preparing to ascend the throne with the support of the ministers. Then he ran all the way and finally died of illness, becoming the least important of the eighteen emperors of Zhao and Song Dynasties. .

Li Tingzhi followed the imperial edict and went south. He left the city with his front foot and dedicated his rear foot to the city. In the end, he was captured and killed by the Yuan army.The situation is very different today.

Zhao had been on the throne for more than two months. At least he had stabilized the situation and gained some momentum for counterattack, and Li Tingzhi also successfully returned to the center.

We are still far from ZTE, but we do see hope.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, I saw dozens of small boats dragging a sea ship slowly approaching.

There are two isolated islands named Dankun and Shuangkun in the mouth of Oujiang River. They are not large in area. In order to prevent enemies from coming from the sea, an inspection department was set up. If there is no wind, the inspection department is also responsible for towing sea ships upstream. .

"Coming, coming~" There was a commotion among the crowd.

Zhao Shi also subconsciously stood up straight, looking very majestic.

After a while, the ship stopped and the sailors set up the gangplank. Li Tingzhi got off the ship first and walked quickly to the front. After bowing, he said: "Your Majesty, Li Tingzhi, pays homage to your Majesty. Long live my emperor."

Zhao Shi stepped forward to help Li Tingzhi up and said: "You have been guarding Huaidong for two years. You have defeated the Yuan captives with your exhausted troops. You have promoted the prestige of the Han family and inspired the morale of the army and the people. Your achievements are immortal. I have been worried about you all day and night. I see that you are well now." , very comforting."

Li Tingzhi replied: "I lost my master and lost my land, and my maimed body makes your majesty worried. It is a capital crime."

"The overall situation is not good, and it is not a crime of war. Is it your fault?" Seeing that Li Tingzhi's official uniform was seriously damaged, Zhao subconsciously took off his coat and put it on him, regardless of whether it would kill him from the heat.

Li Tingzhi bowed his head and bowed again, saying: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, and I can't repay you even if I am so heartbroken."

Zhao Shi helped Li Tingzhi up and said, "It's been a long journey, let's rest for a while first."

That being said, on the way back to the city, Zhao Shi asked about the situation in Yangzhou again.

"With the help of Privy Councilor Zhang, the siege of Yangzhou has been solved, and the east and west can be connected. After discussion with the Privy Councilor, I decided to abandon the three states of Zhen, Yang and Taizhou, and collect all the money and food from the military and civilians of the three places to defend Tongzhou." Li Tingzhi said.

Zhao Shi asked: "Is it possible for Tongzhou to hold on?"

The significance of the great victory in Yangzhou is not only the number of people killed in A Shu, but also the connection between Yangzhou, Zhenzhou and Taizhou.

Yangzhou was surrounded by water, but Zhenzhou and Taizhou were slightly better. They could raise some food, and Tongzhou was shielded by Taizhou, so Yuan captives were not allowed to enter, so production remained the same and they were still self-sufficient.

The most important thing is that Tongzhou is right on the river, and sea-going ships can directly enter the city to provide supplies. The river mouth is wide, which is conducive to sea-going ships exerting their combat power.

"Your Majesty has not abandoned Huaidong, and Huaidong has lived up to your Majesty. Now we are united and united to ensure that Tongzhou is not lost." Li Tingzhi said: "And when going north in the future, the big river is the key, and Tongzhou can be a navy camp."

"The army and the people are loyal and brave, how can I bear it?" Zhao Shi said with emotion, and then said: "As your ministers and others have proposed, we will move the people south to guard Tongzhou."

These were all stated by the messenger sent by Zhang Shijie, and now Zhao is confirming them additionally.

Moreover, controlling Tongzhou has other benefits. One is to control the outlet of the river, the other is to retain the Jiangbei base, and the third is that if one day peace talks can be used to negotiate conditions with Yuanting.

After talking about Yangzhou, Zhao Shi introduced the overall situation to Li Tingzhi.

At present, Song Ting has restored the entire territory of Fujian Road and Guangnan East Road, the Jianchang Army on Jiangnan West Road, the entire territory of Wenzhou, Chuzhou, Taizhou, and Quzhou on Liangzhe East Road, a part of Wuzhou and Xinzhou, and Coastal islands and Liuqiu.

Although there are only three and a half provinces, Zhao Shi is still very happy and said: "The two Zhejiang roads are not rich in money and food, so we have to send troops to the front line. However, Fujian leads from Jiangxi, Guangdong leads from Guangxi, and the southeastern land can be restored!"

"Your Majesty, we should use the power of three roads to overcome the Jiangnan and West Road. This way, there will be no foreign aggression in Fujian, and the foreign aggression in Guangdong and Zhejiang will be reduced by half. We can also cut off the river so that the head and tail of the Yuan Dynasty can't see each other." Li Tingzhi said.

Zhao Shi thought for a moment, clapped his hands and praised: "Your plan is extraordinary!"

Everyone is conquering every city and territory, and they are all attacking wherever they want. It's not that they don't have an overall view, but they are competing for time, but they have forgotten that a fist is more powerful than a slap.

The three-way march into Jiangxi will definitely be stronger than Jiang Wanzai's one-way march, and he will be able to capture Jiangxi faster.

Moreover, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong are located along the coast and lack depth from east to west. Taking Jiangxi can make up for this shortcoming.

　You must have never imagined that there will be such an update in the underworld, hehe
