Chapter Hearts Dispersed
Chapter 1241 People's hearts are dispersed
"Life is like a play, and play is like a life!" Zhao Bing thought through the whole story and essence of the matter. Xiaoxiao put the memorial in his hand aside, and murmured after drinking tea and seeing through the vicissitudes of the world.
Zhao Bing often heard this sentence in his previous life, but he might have been too young to understand the meaning of it, and always felt that it was too negative. But now he could already feel the helplessness of life. He was accidentally reborn in this era and was forced to step onto the stage of history. At that time, facing everything strange, he had only fear and helplessness in his heart, and he thought about whether he could survive in troubled times, without any awareness of making achievements.
History still forced Zhao Bing, a little man who just wanted to struggle for a few years and lived a car and a house, walked to the front desk and played the role of a savior of a dynasty. But at that time, all this always made him feel unreal, feeling that it was just a dream. When he woke up, he was still on the rusty cargo ship, and he continued his bored and lucky days.
However, as his stage went from a large ship wandering on the sea to a small land Qiongzhou, to Jiangnan, and the current Lianghuai, Zhao Bing's stage became bigger and bigger, and his dream of returning to the modern era became less and less. The freighter gradually became unclear, and even occasionally fell into the dream, it was just a blurry outline. He felt that he was too deeply involved in the play and had already integrated into the stage.
Now that the stage is big, there are more and more "actors" on stage. Zhao Bing has finally moved from the front to the backstage, combining editors, directors, acting, and planning. He can look at the entire stage from a downward perspective and watch them perform in front of him. Some people have poor acting skills, which can make him see through his inner thoughts at a glance, but some people are deep and sophisticated, making you unable to figure out his thoughts. But he is no longer a young actor on the 18th tier, but a person who controls the fate of people on the stage. He can make someone famous overnight, or he can no longer have the chance to appear on the stage...
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Fu Li's victory!" Just as Zhao Bing was savoring the ups and downs of life, Wang De jogged into the cabin, and said loudly with joy on his face.
"Oh, Fu Li has been conquered, and the day to recover Yingtian Prefecture is not far away!" Zhao Bing took the battle report presented and said happily. Xuzhou had been recovered, Fu Li was taken down again, and the Tutu Ha tribe was surrounded by the imperial guards in Liuzi Town. There were only some Mengyuan Pacific troops left in Yingtian Prefecture, and there was no storm.
"The days when we return to the capital will not be far away. The empresses are about to give birth, and they are all looking forward to Your Majesty!" Wang De said with a smile.
"Oh, I'm afraid I can't catch up with the birth of the child!" Zhao Bing sighed softly. He said it was fast, but he also understood that the war could not end in just one day, and there was still a lot of aftermath to be done, so the return date was difficult to determine!
Zhao Bing spoke and started a war report to look closely, but he was still a little worried. According to the scheduled plan, Liu Zhixue's army surrounded Fu Li's enemy but did not attack, so as to lure the enemy troops from Xuzhou and Yingtian Prefecture to come to support. Although the Halalu tribe who came to Xuzhou to assist has been wiped out, Xuzhou has changed hands. The task of his troops was turned into restraint, so as not to join forces with the Tutu and Ha tribe to break through the siege in Yingtian Prefecture, which would put great pressure on the front guards in Liuzi Town to fight for assistance.
Therefore, Zhao Bing's meaning was that he still did not take the initiative to attack Fu Li, but instead led him to restrain him, so that he would not dare to abandon the city to prevent being followed and killed by the second army. He also made Yuwasi and others be lucky to the Tutu Ha tribe who came to help, thinking that he would not ignore him and then attack Fu Li's lonely city after destroying Tutu Ha. What was surprising was that Liu Zhixue's department actually recovered Fu Li in advance. If he broke north, he would attack the first, second and third brigades of the guards led by Ni Liang, breaking down the defense line and joining forces with him.
However, to Zhao Bing's surprise, the personal army of the Mongol Yuan guards did not show the tenacity of the past, and their combat quality was not as good as that of previous generations. As the saying goes, "A weasel is worse than a nest of rats." It seems that the comfortable life and the distrust of the Khans in their relationship have seriously weakened the loyalty of the Han army and made him overestimate their combat effectiveness.
According to the analysis of the war report, it is likely that Yuwashi's troops who defended Fu Li were already panicked after learning that the Halalu Guard, who came to Xuzhou, who was completely wiped out in Jiagouji, and understood that the next target of the Song army's attack was Fu Li. After Tu Tuha was ambushed by the Song army in Liuzi Town, he was reluctant to come to Fu Li to meet him for a long time. Instead, he turned around and opened up the path to return to Yingtian Mansion. He obviously had no intention of helping him, and regarded him as an abandoned son to avoid being attacked from front and back. What he was even more worried was that the Song army attacking Xuzhou would take advantage of the victory to join the Battle of Fu Li, so it would be too late to leave at this time.
As a result, Tutuha and Yuwashi became disinterested and did not want to be their scapegoats. So they thought of defeating the Second Army in front of them with their own strength, not wanting to defeat them, but only wanting to make the Song army lose the power of pursuit. So they launched a surprise attack on the Second Army, which caused Liu Zhixue's misunderstanding, thinking that he wanted to attack Lingbi. You must know that Lingbi is the place of the camp, and only one regiment and baggage regiment of the Royal Guard Brigade and a large number of military supplies were protected by it, and he naturally could not let him endanger His Majesty's safety, and he also launched a counterattack immediately.
Yuwashi led his army and Liu Zhixue to confront each other outside Fuli City for two months. Although the two sides had not had a big war, they had no small wars for dozens of times, and had never suffered any major losses, and even had a slight advantage. As for the failure to attack Zero Wall, it was automatically filtered, which was considered even in his mind. The opponent was also the most elite guard of the Song army. So he thought that the Song army was not unbeatable and could not hurt it severely, and at least he could defeat it. He did not dare to follow him when he retreated.
However, after the two sides fought, Yuwa failed to attack several times, but the attacks were repelled several times, and the Song army was still unmoved. In furious, he personally led the vanguard army to break through the formation. After the attacks took turns, he still could not shake the Song army's formation. Instead, he almost completely destroyed the vanguard army. He was also shot down by the Song army's artillery during the storm and was seriously injured. If he had not been snatched back by his personal guards, he would have died in the battlefield. The Song army took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. With the support of artillery, the Song army defeated the Mongolian Yuan camp that stood behind the city.
At this time, the commander of the Mengyuan Guards who had taken over the command of the commander, Bo Daer, the commander of the left guard of the Han army, who could not resist, ordered to retreat to the city, but the pursued Song army took the opportunity to seize the gate and enter. The Yuan army retreated into the city caught off guard, resisted for a while and fled from the north gate, and the Song army also chased them. They only took a breath after crossing the Sui River, but did not dare to go to Xuzhou. Under the pursuit of the Song army, they turned toward Bianxi County and retreated northward. After crossing the ancient Bian River, they were considered to be free from the pursuit of the Song army.
"That kid is still quite a thief, but he actually escaped!" Zhao Bing smiled after reading the battle report. In this battle, the Second Army defeated the Han army's vanguards and the left guards in the first battle, recovered two county towns, beheaded more than 7,000 enemies, captured more than 5,000 enemies, and captured the enemy's commander Yuwa, who was the commander of the left guard, lost thousands of households, and more than 30 generals of the hundred households, seized a large number of weapons and supplies. But Daluhuachi He Weixian actually escaped from the chaos.
"What Your Majesty is referring to... He is really lucky. If he is caught again, he will be chopped before he can be sent to His Majesty!" Wang De, as his confidant, had some words, and the emperor did not avoid him, but he also understood what he could not say casually. He consciously said nothing and shut up quickly, and turned to smile.
"He is much more valuable than death. If he can successfully escape back to Dadu, his role will be comparable to that of a hundred thousand troops in the future!" Zhao Bing said with a smile. He knew that He Weixian would not die, and his side would operate a little more, and with his family's help, he would definitely escape punishment and go further, becoming a nail buried by the real gold, providing himself with more valuable information and even affecting the real gold's decisions.
"Your Majesty, now Fu Li has entered our dynasty's hands, Yingtian Mansion is within reach. Tokyo is now in front of you. In this way, Your Majesty's ambition to recover the old capital can be realized!" Wang De shut up wisely. He knew that there were some things that he should not know, so he said.
"After that being said, it's a pity that it's still out of reach. Let's wait for the day!" Zhao Bing waved his hand after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, do you want..." Wang De was surprised. His Majesty shouted to recover the old capital all day long in Qiongzhou, but the old capital was close to him. Needless to say, he kicked hard. Now he just needs to push it and get in. But he gave up according to his meaning, which made him unable to understand. However, he didn't ask too much, and knew that there must be a reason that His Majesty had to consider.
In fact, as Wang De thought, Zhao Bing had his own considerations. After defeating Yuxi Timuer's army, he directed the army north to seize the Lianghuai River. At that time, he had discovered the opportunity to recover Kaifeng, and he had planned and carried out strategic deployment with this goal. However, after comprehensive consideration, he felt that the recovery of Kaifeng was not an excellent opportunity. Even if it was very politically beneficial to him, he thought it would cause great difficulties in the later stage and even drag down the entire strategic deployment.
Henan, named after it is south of the Yellow River, and the "Hanoi" sandwiched between the Taihang Mountains and the Yellow River that travels east, forms the former place of the Three Rivers where Chinese civilization originated. This is the ancient "Henan" and the core area of modern Henan. It has formed the famous three northern Henan cities in the world: Luoyang, Zhengzhou, and Kaifeng. Kaifeng appeared in history as the capital, and the most famous one is the Northern Song Dynasty.
However, before the Northern Song Dynasty, it was the capital of many regimes, which can be traced back to the Warring States Period. From the Warring States Period to the Northern Song Dynasty, it was a period of continuous upward development of Kaifeng. The reason why Kaifeng rose rapidly after the Five Dynasties and replaced Chang'an and Luoyang became the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty was also inseparable from the foundation laid by this long history, but Kaifeng still had fatal flaws as the capital of the great power...
