Chapter 84 Lu Wenhuan

"...Although there were gains in this battle, seventeen ships were sunk, and all the others were injured. More than [-] soldiers were killed or injured, more than half of the crew were killed and there were only eight thunderbolts left.

The naval forces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are no longer able to blockade Qiantang, nor can they attack Kuaiji, and must return to Wenzhou to recover..."

Zhang Shijie closed his eyes after reading the battle report.

There are forty to fifty operators on each ship from the captain down, as well as 200 soldiers, for a total of 350 and [-] people in the entire maritime division.

Nowadays, most of the losses have been lost, and without a year or two to recover, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight again.

Without the restraint at sea, the pressure on land increased greatly, and Zhang Shijie had to consider the variables.

The battle report had to go a long way to get to Zhang Shijie. Boyan received the battle report much earlier. By this time, he had already met Liu Jie in Xiaoshan.

Liu Jie bowed down in person and said: "The last general is incompetent. He has lost his troops and defeated the general without any merit. Please punish me, Prime Minister."

"Why do you say it's a crime?" Boyan helped Liu Jie up and said, "The difficulties along the coast have been lifted, and the soldiers can go south with all their strength. This is a great achievement!"

Although he didn't know that Chen Shengxing sank three more ships on the way, Boyan could conclude that there would be no worries on the sea for at least half a year, and the troops originally stationed in various places could be mobilized south.

This is a strategic advantage. As for snatching the sky thunder...

Boyan sighed: "The little emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was benevolent and righteous and loved the people, so he fought to the death. On the other hand, the local officials of this dynasty harmed the people and the place was not peaceful. How could he be loyal?"

Shentu Zhiyuan, the pacification department manager of Lin'an Prefecture, said: "Ali, don't be a helper of a tiger and harm the place. You should report to your majesty to hold him accountable."

"I will be the center of the performance to tell you." Boyan replied, looked at Lu Wenhuan, and asked: "Marshal thinks that the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty will transfer naval forces from other places?"

It's not that Boyan doesn't want to do Alibie, it's just that he can't do it.

First of all, Ali is not a member of Ahema, so he can't do it easily. Secondly, Ali is not in charge of Jiangnan's money and food. It is Kublai Khan's intention, in order to prevent the Boyan family from becoming too strong, so Boyan can only play, and cannot directly deal with it. .

Lu Wenhuan said: "Fujian and Guangdong both produce ships, just like the north produces horses. It is roughly estimated that there are more than [-] sea-going ships in Fujian and Guangdong. With the prestige of the Song Dynasty, it can definitely dispatch ships to blockade the coast.

However, ships are easy to get, but soldiers are hard to find. I think it will be safe and sound for three to five months. "

"Prime Minister." Liu Jie said: "We have captured a commander, maybe you can ask for more details."

"Bring questions." Boyan said.

After a while, the display engineer was brought in.

He floated on the water due to coma and was captured by the Yuan army during salvage. He did not utter a word all night.

Boyan said: "You have a great talent, but it would be unfair to only serve as a commander. If you switch to our dynasty, you can help thousands of families and make you rich and powerful for generations to come."

A navy ship is regarded as a battalion, and the leader is the commander. The overall status is higher than that of the army. Even so, the display division is still a low-level officer, and the price offered by Boyan is not low.

The display master seemed to have not heard anything and just closed his eyes and said nothing.

Lu Wenhuan said: "The Song Dynasty treated military generals with pampering and pampering when they were in use, and treated them like careless men when they were not in use. Even so, they were always on guard.

On the other hand, in the dynasty, when the hero is in power, he is not afraid of civil and military affairs. He is just like the prime minister taking charge of the soldiers and civilians in the south of the Yangtze River. How can Song Ting do that? "

Master Chen opened his eyes, cast a contemptuous glance at Lu Wenhuan, and said, "Aren't you ashamed to bark and speak wildly against the lord and ministers?"

Bang~
Lu Wenhuan slapped the table and stood up, saying: "I think my Lu family was loyal and good in our days, but in our generation, our family has fallen into decline but we have not changed our aspirations.

I am a young man serving in the army, marching to the border with great strength, full of fighting, taking my life lightly with a feather, carrying a bow and arrow at my waist, and tying life and death to the horse's feet. Isn't it natural to accumulate merit and be promoted?
In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, when I took over Xiangyang, the Han River was cut off and there was no foreign aid. I defended the city with weak troops for six years, and the king's army could not advance even an inch.

In this case, Mrs. Zhao was particularly uneasy and wanted to replace me with Gao Dao. Who could Gao Dao be?Every time he goes out to fight when he is tired, can he find himself in a desperate situation even if soldiers shout at his door?
Is the Lu family safe but the Zhao family is in danger?Ah!

He refused to give in even though he was facing death, especially when he saw doubts in his mind, and his treachery came to this point. How could it be that I, Lu Liu, had betrayed the Zhao family? "

The display master said: "I am favored by my father and ancestors, and my descendants are blessed with wealth. Isn't it the favor of the imperial court?"
Even if the court sees doubts, it will do nothing in the end, and the grace will not decrease but increase. Even if you don't miss the court, why do you see your colleagues?
There are tens of thousands of dead people in Xiangyang, and two heroic souls still exist. They all regard you as under the nine springs. May they sleep peacefully? "

After saying that, the display master looked at Boyan and shouted: "Tatar, cut my heart out quickly and show it to the thief Lu. This shows your loyalty!" "Come on, take me down!" Boyan immediately ordered.

Immediately, soldiers came in, dragged the display division away and walked out.

The display master struggled and cursed: "Thief Lu, you are ungrateful and treasonous to your country and your master. You cannot eat your flesh and blood today, but you will eat it tomorrow..."

Before they finished shouting and scolding, the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty came down with their swords and killed him on the spot.

Seeing Lu Wenhuan's ugly face, Boyan advised: "The marshal has made great achievements in bringing peace to the country and the people. Don't worry about criticism from outside."

Lu Wenhuan replied: "We had our own plans when we opened the city. Now that the emperor trusts us and the prime minister is so friendly, why should we regret it?"

After he surrendered, Kublai Khan named him General Zhaoyong, Commander of the Guards, and Governor of Xianghan, while Song Ting only gave him the title of Zhixiangyang Mansion and Deputy Envoy of Jingxi.

Lu Wenhuan's surrender was definitely not because of his official position, the reason was more complicated.

First, the Yuan Dynasty was strong and the Song Dynasty was too weak. Lu Wenhuan defended Xiangyang for six years. During this period, Zhang Shijie, Xia Gui, Fan Wenhu and others organized support many times, but they all ended in failure. Only Li Tingzhi sent brothers Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui to attack Xiangyang. The two Zhangs mentioned by the teacher are these two brothers.

At that time, the reinforcements entered the city after a bloody battle. Zhang Shun disappeared. His body was found a few days later, with four shots and six arrows in his body. He was still holding a bow and arrow in his hand. Zhang Gui, who had entered the city, went out to meet the reinforcements and fought a bloody battle with the Yuan army. He was shot After more than ten shots, he was captured after exhaustion and died unyielding.

Lu Wenhuan was indeed sorry for the two Zhangs, but only the two Zhangs came to help, and the rest could not, which shows that Song Ting was weak.

The second reason is the distrust of the imperial court. It may be because there are too many disciples of the Lu family and there are old officials. It may also be due to the estrangement in the Yuan court. It may be the sequelae of the yellow robe. Anyway, the Song court has never responded to the rumors that "the Lu family is in danger of the Zhao family", and Want to replace Lu Wenhuan with Gundam.

Of course Gundam can be fought, but mutiny without money is actually useless.

His wife and children were all in Xiangyang, Xiangfan was massacred, Ali broke an arrow in Hague and swore an oath... In short, Lu Wenhuan surrendered.

The door is open, the truth and the truth are known, learn from Lu Liu's good example... Lu Wenhuan is very capable, turning the heavy snow in Mengyuan into an avalanche, the kind of blood avalanche.

Naturally, Boyan would not mention these things. Seeing that Lu Wenhuan had returned to normal, he continued to discuss military strategies.

As always, Lu Wenhuan actively offered advice and suggestions, saying: "Prime Minister, each boat of the Song Army's naval division is only equipped with more than ten thunderbolts, which shows that its inventory is empty, and it may send a large number of troops."

"How to advance the army?" Boyan asked.

Lu Wenhuan shut up and gave others the opportunity to express themselves.

Zhang Rongshi, the general of Zhenguo, the envoy of Fujian Daoxuan, and the naval force of ten thousand households, said: "When all the roads come out together, it will be difficult for the southerners to look at the beginning and the end. As for this road, there is no need to worry about the rear. We can mobilize one part of the navy to attack the canal, and then Use the first part of the horse infantry to attack Dongguan."

"What Wan Hu said is reasonable." Lu Wenhuan agreed, not showing the slightest grudge.

You must know that during Kublai Khan's southern expedition, Zhang Rongshi killed Lu Wenhuan's cousin Lu Wenxin.

Boyan said: "In this case, we will send orders to all places to march on time on July [-]th, and all ministries will hunt in Wenzhou."

The generals were ordered to retreat and prepare immediately.

At this time, Liu Hao set foot on Emperor Temple Mountain (Xiaoyang Mountain in Shengsi Islands, named after the temple of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty). Zhang Xuan came over and said, "Brother Liu is here to help, and the matter will definitely succeed."

Liu Hao replied: "Brother Zhang must take care of it."

After a few words of greeting, Liu Hao introduced the people on board the ship, all of whom were good divers. There were more than thirty people who came to Dimiao Mountain to help Zhang Xuan salvage the sky thunder.

"It's not easy to find a needle in a haystack." Zhang Xuan felt sad when he thought of the hard work of the past twenty days.

"Brother Zhang, don't be discouraged." Liu Hao said: "At present, our ancestors are planning to establish a naval division. If it succeeds, Brother Zhang will definitely be a member of ten thousand households, and he may also be the deputy general manager."

"Thank you, Mr. Tongda, for the promotion." Zhang Xuan was overjoyed.

Of course, he also knows the meaning of success, one is Liu Jun's success in planning the navy, and the other is that he has caught the sky thunder, both are indispensable.
