The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 424

Kublai Khan nodded and said: "General Ashu, in front of the people of the world, I hereby officially confer on you as Marshal of the Mongolian Conquest to the South, General of the Hussar Guard, the title of the second rank, and two tiger heads. The gold medal, leading the three armies, choosing a day to go south, destroying the Song Dynasty, and completely unifying the world by our dynasty, "

A Shu was full of spirits, and said loudly: "Thanks to the great Khan for your kindness, the last general will definitely lead my three armies, and conquer the Southern Dynasty."

"Okay," Kublai Khan praised, and then took a long gun from a guard behind him and said, "General A Shu, you should know this sharp gun, right?"

As a member of a family of generals, Ah Shu certainly recognized this spear, which was slightly longer than a conventional one, and looked ordinary, yet extremely special: "Khan, this is the magic weapon used by Genghis Khan back then, named Su Lu Ding,"

"That's right, this is the magic soldier Suluding. Back then, the ancestor Genghis Khan held the Suluding in his hand. He unified all the tribes of Mongolia and fought in the east and west, laying a solid foundation for today's Mongolian Empire. This Suluding is my army. Dynasty is also the only artifact in the world, General Ashu, since you are known as the spear king of our dynasty and the marshal appointed by Ben Khan to conquer the South, Ben Khan bestows this artifact on you to accompany you to conquer the Southern Dynasty, In order to accomplish the great cause of our Mongolian Empire for thousands of years,"

"Yes, profusely," A Shu took over Su Luding, very excited.

The legend of Su Luding, the magic soldier, is well known to the high-ranking Mongolians. According to the legend of the elders, when Genghis Khan was young, he was forced into a desperate situation. For his marksmanship, he was given a magic weapon, which was the only weapon in Genghis Khan's life - Suluding. After that, Genghis Khan was invincible and invincible. Still as bright as new.

Since the death of Genghis Khan, this magical soldier has been kept by the successor Khan, but the Mongolian climate is [-]%, as a Khan, he does not have to go to the battlefield in person, and Su Luding has never appeared on the battlefield again. .

When Ashu walked down the stage holding Sulu Ding, the generals below all showed envy. As a general, horses and weapons are very important, and they are also the love of most generals in their lives. One thing, who would not be tempted, envy is envy, but for the Great Khan bestowing Suluding on Ashu, the generals are also convinced.

Ashu has experienced many battles. Although he is just over 1261 years old, he has repeatedly made outstanding achievements. More than ten years ago, he accompanied his father Wuliang to join the Taiwan expedition to Dali and became famous in the first battle. At the same time, Ashu is also a good player in the way of guns. In 40, Ali Hague, who was proficient in spear skills, was awarded by Kublai Khan as the left and right secretary of Zhongshu Province. That night, all the generals celebrated. During the banquet, Ali Hague Threatening that his spear skills in the Western Regions are invincible in the world, the generals refused to accept it, and went to battle individually, but they were all defeated. After half a month, young generals such as Asahan and Zhang Hongfan told the matter to Ashu who had just returned from the expedition. Next, Ashu and Ali Hague launched a contest for the gun king. For the sake of fairness, they also invited Tianya God Yin Tianya as an arbitrator. When the battle reached the ninth round of No.[-], Ali Hague was defeated and he willingly admitted Even Yin Tianya, who is known as the number one master in Mongolia, admired Ashu's marksmanship and believed that among horse generals, Ashu's marksmanship was indeed second to none.

Kublai Khan watched A Shu walk down the platform with a smile on his face, and then called out: "General Boyan, please come up to the stage and accept the title."

After Boyan came to the stage, he clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general Boyan sees Da Khan,"

"General Boyan, this Khan will confer on you the Deputy Marshal and Envoy of the Mongolian Conquest to the South, serve as the General of the country, lead the second-rank rank, and give you a gold medal with a tiger's head,"

"Thank you Great Khan for your grace,"

Although Boyan's formal service in the army is still short, the generals are convinced by his profound strategy. Under his training, the combat power of the reorganized Qixue army is even better than before. This is a fact for all to see. For Kublai Khan's appointment, The generals also had no objection, Boyan studied under Yin Tianya, and he is proficient in all eighteen weapons. A Shu's evaluation of this is that fighting under horses is the best in our dynasty.

Historically, Ashu and Boyan were honored as the two war gods of Mongolia by the Yuan Dynasty soldiers. The two fought countless battles in their lives without defeat.

Kublai Khan continued to order his generals: "Prince Hedan, General Zhang Rou, and General Ali Haiya came to the stage to listen to the seal."

"The end is here,"

"Three generals, this Khan named you the Deputy Marshal of Zhengnan, the Assistant General of the Kingdom, the rank of second rank, and the gold medal of Tiger Head,"

"Thank you profusely,"

Hedan, Zhangrou, and Ali Haiya respectively represent the three forces in the Mongolian army. The Mongolians, the Semu people in the Western Regions, and the Han people in Mongolia. Although the status of the Han people in Mongolia is low, they are large in number. In the entire Mongolian army, The number of Han soldiers was also the largest, and Zhang Rou was also a veteran of the Mongolian army, so he was trusted by Kublai Khan, so he was named one of the four deputy marshals.

Finally, Kublai Khan bestowed the title: "Dong Wenbing, Zhao Bi, Atahai and other ten people were the commanders of Zhengnandu, the generals of Zhenguo, led the rank of the third rank, and awarded the gold medal of the tiger head. Acihan and Zhang Hongfan were the pioneers of the Zhengyin campaign. Officer, Commander of the Deputy Capital, General Zhaowu, a gold medal for leveling, "

"The last general thanked the sweat,"

The gold medal is the "big brand" in the history of the Yuan Dynasty. It is said that thousands of households can wear a tiger medal, a thousand households can wear a gold medal, and a hundred households can wear a silver medal. Among them, the tiger head gold medal is divided into four classes, with zero to three pearls inlaid on it, with three pearls being the most, and the tiger head gold medal The Great Khan personally issued the flat gold medal and the flat silver medal by the imperial court. When a general was promoted or resigned, he had to surrender the original talisman.

When the point was about to be finished, Kublai Khan said with a hearty smile: "Our dynasty has the favor of longevity and so many good generals. How can we be invincible in this battle? Our Mongolian Empire is full of talents, and we are destined by heaven. The Mongols of our dynasty, The Semu people, the Han people, the Hui people, the Jin people, the Xixia people and other nationalities, all worked together to follow Ben Khan to complete the great cause of unification,"

"Long live the Great Khan, I will surely win the court,"

"Long live the Great Khan, I will surely win the court,"

On the second day after Kublai Khan published "The Call to the South of the Yangtze River", Ashu, the marshal of Zhengnan, hurried to Xiangfan with the vanguard Ajahan and his 36 soldiers. Wanting to know the terrain and obtain first-hand information about the Xiangfan area, in order to make the most reasonable plan, before departure, Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, specially dispatched [-] generals and soldiers of the Qixue Army as Ashu's personal guards. Army, and sent Huaidu, one of the [-] guards around him, as the commander of the capital to personally guard Ashu.

The 36 guards around Kublai Khan were all descendants of the older generation of Qixue soldiers or the Mongolian royal family. They were about the same age as Kublai Khan. They were sent to the extreme north, and the supreme shaman Cai Njiya personally inspected them. Finally, 36 people who passed the qualification became Kublai Khan's personal bodyguards. Huaidu was one of them. In the battle of the rebellion, Kublai Khan personally ordered Huaidu to seek it from Prince Habichi. Huaidu fought forward, beheaded more than a hundred ranks, captured more than 1262 people, and captured hundreds of soldiers. Li Fen retreated into the city and Huaidu Fighting day and night, in autumn and July, the Mongolian army attacked Jinan City, Huaidu single-handedly killed the four guards under Li Fen's tent, and finally forced Li Fen into the Daming Lake in Jinan City. , vainly trying to use water to escape, but unexpectedly Huaidu was also proficient in water, so he was captured alive. Habichi ranked first for his meritorious service.

On September 8000th, Ashu led his army to the camp of Lumen Mountain in the southeast of Xiangyang City. After meeting with the troops stationed in Lumen Mountain, Ashu gathered [-] people and arrived in the early morning of September [-]. Arrived at the east gate of Xiangyang City.

In the distance, Ashu Lema stood under the city, looked at it for a while, and praised: "What a fortified city, worthy of Xiangyang built with iron,"

Asahan said: "Don't worry, Commander, no matter how strong the city is, it will be difficult to stop my Mongolian cavalry."

"Well, Asahan, according to the original plan to attack the city, you only need to understand the way of Xiangyang's city defense and control, and you must not let the children suffer too much casualties,"

"Yes, handsome,"

Ashu held Sulu Ding in his right hand, and lightly waved his left hand: "Okay, attack the city,"

The third war between Song and Meng officially kicked off with A Shu's order.

Two days later, in the city of Xiangyang.

Lu Wende's son, Lu Shikui, hurried into the commander's mansion. On the main seat in the main hall of the mansion was Lu Wende, the governor of the Xiangyang Military Region, and on the left was the deputy commander Lu Wenhuan. Lu Xin and Lu Shimeng who came back, Lu Wende had two sons. The eldest son was named Lu Yan, whose style name was Shi Kui. When he arrived in Lin'an, he made a big noise in the Tongle Building, and later entered Lin'an Military University to study.

"Father, the latest news, the Mongols are planning to retreat,"

Lu Wende was stunned and said, "Really, the Mongols just tentatively launched an attack on Xiangyang two days ago, and they are ready to retreat so soon."

Lu Shikui said: "Father, the Mongolian vanguard Asahan led his [-] soldiers. After launching an attack on Xiangyang City with the Mongolian garrison on Lumen Mountain two days ago, they turned to plunder the villages and towns around Xiangfan. According to the According to various signs, the Mongols will return from the southwest to the north,”

Lu Wenhuan's eyes lit up, he stood up and said, "Brother, this is an opportunity."

Lu Wende said in a deep voice: "No, His Majesty has ordered you not to go out of the city to pursue them at will,"

Of course Lu Wenhuan also knew that the imperial court had such an order, so he shook his head helplessly and sat back on the chair.
