Chapter 1: The Fool of Death
"Your Majesty, Jiangdong is a great victory!" In the camp of Xuyi City, the deputy governor Wang Yinglin hurriedly broke in. Before he could enter the house, he heard his excited shouts.
"Governor Wang, please keep silent. Your Majesty is having a meal!" Wang De quickly came out and waved his hand and whispered.
"Hey, such great news is just for your Majesty!" Wang Yinglin was still excited and couldn't suppress his voice and said with a smile.
"Let Governor Wang come in!" Recently, the little emperor has been worried about war and his diet and sleep are not good. Wang De naturally does not want to disturb His Majesty's meal. After hearing the sound from the house, he knew that His Majesty had heard it, so he glared at him resentfully and dodged away helplessly.
"Your Majesty, Jiangdong is a great victory, all the 100,000 Yuan troops will be won, and the enemy chief Yuxi Timur will be given the title!" Wang Yinglin was in high spirits, disregarded Wang De's attitude, entered the hall with sympathy, gave a random gift, and handed over the newly arrived war report.
"Okay, okay, okay, we have been working hard for more than ten years, and the Central Plains is in sight!" Zhao Tingwen put down the chopsticks in his hand. Although he had already been in the forefront of annihilation of Yuxi Timur's army, he was a little excited to hear the news of victory.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty for getting the promise. My Song Dynasty lost the Central Plains for a hundred years and finally captured the two Huaihe River today. Your Majesty drank the Yellow River and settled the Central Plains in the north! " Although Wang Yinglin only joined the court for a few years after moving to Qiong, it was also an extremely difficult period. Thinking of the past, he said tears in his eyes after hearing this.
In the second year of Jianyan, in order to resist the Jin army's southward, the Tokyo garrison Du Chong, a defender in Huazhou, broke the Yellow River embankment, causing the Yellow River to divert its route, and went south from Sishui and Ji River to the sea. At this point, the Yellow River went from north to Bohai and south to the Yellow Sea. In the past hundred years, it has mainly swung in the south. During the period of storm, the mainstream from Zhengzhou to above Qingkou migrated uncertainly, from time to time from Sishui, Bian River, or from Whishui, or from Ying River to Huai, or from several branches to Huai. At this time, the Song army had seized Sizhou and stood up with Daying Jiahe. Wang Yinglin said that although the Yellow River in the traditional sense has different meanings, it cannot be wrong.
"If we can recover the Central Plains and return to the old capital, I will be able to face the ancestors happily in the future!" Zhao Tingwen was embarrassed. When he was in Qiongzhou, he often talked about "expressing the Tartars and shedding the horses to the west". Not only did everyone feel that it was too far away, but he was also in a panic, but as the leader of the Song Dynasty, he had to draw a great blueprint for everyone as his goal. After moving south, including him, every time he worshiped the temple, emperors of all dynasties had to talk about whether they were wise or stupid. Although they were just talking, they had to say that they were now the closest moment to victory.
"Your Majesty revived the Song Dynasty and drove the Tartars out of Jiangnan. Today, he recaptured the two Huai Rivers, which is enough to be famous in history and rank as a wise monarch!" Wang Yinglin felt that the little emperor was humble and sighed in his heart, and said politely again.
"The war in Jiangdong has ended after the annihilation of Yuxi Timur Corps, but the Mongolian Yuan side has mobilized the personal army of guards to move south, and now the vanguard has reached Zhengzhou. Although we have occupied Huaidong, due to the lack of troops, we have only controlled the important towns along the river and urgently need to mobilize troops to reinforce. In addition, Huaixi is progressing relatively smoothly, but the planned plan has not been completed yet, and Xiangyang and Shouzhou are still in the opponent. In short, although the situation has improved, it is too early to talk about complete victory." Zhao quickly calmed down from his excitement and picked up the battle report and read it carefully. Wang Yinglin nodded and said yes, and began to consider how to consolidate the victory results.
The battle report was jointly signed by the General Secretary Jiang, the Jiangdong General Secretary Zhao Mengjin and the Imperial Guardian Ni Liang. In addition to reporting the victory, he also reported in detail the entire battle, which was a thick stack, but Zhao read it very carefully. He ordered Xiaohuang to remove the food, lay the map, and compare it while watching. Wang De could only sigh as he saw most of the food left, and cooked a cup of ginseng tea and served it with his own hands.
After a while, Zhao Cai finished reading the battle report and breathed a long sigh. There was no gorgeous rhetoric in the entire battle report, but he only used plain and straight words to tell the story and results of the entire Jiangdong Battle. But he still felt the fierceness and thrilling war, especially when he saw Yuxi Timur suddenly changed his direction of march, bypassing Pingjiang and Kunshan, and avoiding the preset ambush circle, he broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, several people reacted quickly, adjusted their deployment in time, quickly evacuated the residents, and finally surrounded the enemy on the north bank of Songjiang.
"hehe……"
"Your Majesty, why are you laughing?" Wang Yinglin, who was thinking, was suddenly interrupted by a burst of laughter from the little emperor. He looked at him and asked curiously.
"I think that things in the world are impermanent. Who would have thought that Yuxi Timur, who was famous and commanded tens of thousands of troops, was beaten to death in a mud pond, and his head was cut off by a small soldier in our army!" Zhao Zhi stopped laughing and replied. He felt a little sad. He thought that when he was very energetic, he led the army to fight south, ended up like this and died so cowardly. What do you think? I'm afraid my intestines would regret it at that time.
It turned out that Yuxi Timur had just rested in Jiading City for a while, and the Song cavalry had already chased after him. He knew very well that there was no one in Jiading City and no food. With less than a thousand soldiers in his hands, he could not defend the lonely city at all, so he could only hurry up and go on his horse and continue to flee north from the city. However, this Song cavalry was very difficult to deal with, and he was still unable to escape the pursuit. After dawn, he lost the cover of darkness, which also made them exposed and unable to escape.
The two armies had a huge gap in strength. The Song army was familiar with the terrain in local combat and had a guide to guide the way. They kept dividing troops to detour and blocking them when chasing. Yuxi Timur led the remaining troops to rush left and right, change direction, and divided the troops to block the enemy's escape, but the gap in strength could not be compensated by these tricks. After running for a day, a big river appeared in front of him and blocked the road, and there were only less than fifty people left by him, and they were all in a mess.
At this time, Yuxi Timuer discovered that the river ahead was not the Yangtze River, but the Taicang River that he had crossed when he came. The place where he saw it was Liujiagang. If Zhao knew that he had abandoned him to get rid of Hatusun and fled here, he would be afraid that his stomach would hurt. This is really a cycle of reincarnation in the world, and his fate is determined, but he could not escape the fate in the end.
There was a big river blocking the front, and the pursuers from behind arrived later. Yuxi Timur could only walk along the river to try to find a ferry, but there was no board on the vast river, and was discovered by a Song army that searched here. He did not dare to fight and rushed to a small road to escape. There were constant sounds in his ears, bullets were flying against his scalp, and the only people around him were caught from time to time, and fewer and fewer, and in the end he was left alone.
The pursuers were getting closer and closer, and the path ahead became narrower and narrower until it disappeared. Yuxi Timur, who had no way out, saw that the paddy fields in front were dry and the land was cracked, wanted to rush over and escape. But he didn't know that after the Spring Festival, the villagers who were hiding outside had secretly returned home to release water and irrigate the fields. Although it was already dry on the surface, there was still muddy underneath. His mount was considered a BMW horse, but the war horse itself was not light, and the load on the carrying man was even greater. In addition, the running day and night had already overdrawn his physical strength. After a few steps in the paddy fields, he was trapped and sank to his abdomen and could not move at all!
The Song army who chased after him did not know that the embarrassing enemy soldier in front was Yuxi Timur. Seeing that he was in a dilemma, he asked him to abandon his horse and take off his armor and climb over to surrender. This was also his good intention. He could not climb dry ground in any case. Only by reducing the weight and climbing with his four-limbed soldiers could he get out of trouble. But Yuxi Timur might not want to be humiliated before his death, or he might have been wrong. He did not act as he said, but he took a bow and arrow and shot at the chasing Song army, injured a Song soldier.
Several Song soldiers were furious and fired together, shooting Yuxi Timuer, then threw the locks and pulled his body up, searched the fuse from him, and found out that it was the enemy leader Yuxi Timuer, so they cut off his head, stripped off his armor, and happily went back to ask for merit. The generals were also angry because they could not find him. After receiving the report, they salvaged his body, and ordered the captured enemy general to identify it correctly before reporting it to the enemy general to give him the title!
"Yuxi Timur is ashamed of being a man, without any overlord spirit, and his death will be a bad reputation for thousands of years. It's a pity that when King Xiang dies, there will be no heroes in the world!" Wang Yinglin did not have the little emperor's joking intention, and snorted coldly and said disdainfully. He thought it was very similar to the situation of the overlord Xiang Yu back then, but the ending was a world of difference.
At that time, after Xiang Yu crossed the Huai River, only more than a hundred cavalry were left to follow him. When he was lost, he was chased by the Han army because he was lost. Xiang Yu suddenly arrived in Dongcheng and only twenty-eight cavalry were left. In the decisive battle of Wujiang, Xiang Yu commanded the twenty-eight cavalry, rushed back and forth, and rushed south to the border of Wujiang. Everyone knew the outcome of the subsequent ending. Xiang Yu felt that he had no face to see the elders of Jiangdong, so he ordered all the followers to dismount and fight with the Han soldiers with short weapons. Xiang Yu killed hundreds of Han soldiers alone, and finally committed suicide. How heroic and heroic the death was, even the enemy had to admire him, and his deeds were passed down through the ages, commemorating and sighing to the world!
"Hehe, he is also the place to die, and there are several Xiang Wangs in the world!" Zhao didn't think so, and still said with a smile. He saw the ending, but in fact he didn't care about how Yuxi Timuer died. In this battle, the army of 100,000 Yuan was killed and injured by 50,000 or 60,000 people, nearly half were captured, and several thousand households were either killed or captured, and tens of thousands of war horses were seized, and countless armor and weapons were seized.
The Mongols' political system was based on the Mongols, but they had fought in all directions since the Temujin period. Since then, there have been constant wars. As his confidants, the tribe members were also seriously injured. Even if other tribes were annexed, the number of people was still at a disadvantage. In the battle of Jiangdong, 100,000 Mongolian soldiers were annihilated, and the basis of their rule was severely weakened, so they would have to rely more on aliens to maintain their rule. When the Mongols' decline from prosperity and decline to decline, were the loyalty of those people still reliable...
