historical royal courier

Chapter 208
"Are you going to drive Sima Lun and the others out of Luoyang City?"

Li Yi looked at Li Chengqian in surprise, wondering why he suddenly had such a bold idea.

Although the current strength of the Jin Dynasty is indeed rubbish, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. With the tens of thousands of troops in hand, he wants to go directly to the old nest of the Jin Dynasty to stir up wind and rain. Li Chengqian will not be whimsical Bar.

"That's right, Master, I'm not trying to drive Sima Lun and the others to death, but simply drive them out of Luoyang City. There's a big difference between the two."

"I know this, so what's the point of driving Sima Lun out of Luoyang City? And think about it, even if you send troops to drive him out, he may counterattack at any time, and you still won't be able to occupy Luoyang City .”

Li Yi couldn't understand Li Chengqian's move. Could it be that he did such a big useless effort just to disgust Sima Lun?
"I didn't say I wanted to occupy Luoyang City either."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Yi with a smile, but suddenly suffered a brain collapse.

"You brat, you dare to show off to Master, tell me what you think."

"Yes, yes, I'll just say it."

Touching his head, Li Chengqian told Li Yi all the plans of himself and others.

It turned out that during the period from Li Chengqian's elimination of the Jin army to the present, there were more than 30 rebellions in the Jin Dynasty.

Some peasants revolted, some princes and kings rebelled, and some led the generals to stand on their own as just now.

And not only the Jin army, but even the barbarians on the border of the Jin Dynasty began to move around one by one, and frequently sent out tests on the border of the Jin army.

Therefore, the current Jin Dynasty can be said to be full of internal and external troubles, with constant rebellions and a very turbulent situation.

After Li Chengqian and the others discovered this situation, they decided to add another fire to the Jin Dynasty, making the situation in the Jin Dynasty completely chaotic, and this fire was to drive Sima Lun out of Luoyang City.

No matter how chaotic the current world is, at least the current world still belongs to the Jin Dynasty and the Sima family. Sima Lun's order is still a well-deserved imperial order, so many people in the world still listen to it.

But what would happen if people in the world knew that Sima Lun was driven out of Luoyang City by a group of rebels?
The reputation of the Jin family's court will drop to the bottom in an instant, and even the capital will be taken away by others, and even their old lair will be taken away by others.

At this time, those who are rebellious but still hesitant will rise up in an instant, and the Jin Dynasty will collapse in an instant.

Of course, there is another possibility that soldiers and horses from all over the country will enter King Jingqin and besiege Li Chengqian.

But I think this may be smaller than the chance of a sow climbing a tree.

"It turned out to be arranged like this. No wonder I couldn't understand it. It turns out that what you attacked was not his military strength, but his appeal."

"That's right, at that time, as long as Sima Lun is driven out of Luoyang City by his apprentice, no matter how long it takes, even if it takes half a day, the people arranged by the apprentice will immediately go to the whole world to publicize, and then the whole world will know that Sima Lun was killed. Get rid of the news of Luoyang City."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian raised his head proudly, and waited for Li Yi's compliment.

"The idea is good, it is very good for you, but now there is a very serious problem in front of you."

"what is the problem?"

Looking at Li Yi, Li Chengqian didn't think there was anything wrong with his plan.

"Your first step is to drive Sima Lun out of Luoyang City, but you have to understand one question. Sima Lun's strength in Luoyang City is not weak, so how do you drive him out? Or in other words, without damaging the strength. Under such circumstances, why did you drive him out?"

Li Yi stopped his steps and looked at Li Chengqian with a serious face. If Li Chengqian said to use human life to pay for it at this time, Li Yi would give him a slap on the spot.

Although it is said that compassion does not lead soldiers, it requires a general to be decisive in making decisions when leading an army, and it does not require you to ignore the lives of your subordinates. Those who ignore lives are not people, but machines.

"Hahaha, so it's this. In fact, this problem has been solved by Tu'er long ago."

Li Chengqian smiled mysteriously, then pulled Li Yi into a room.

"Have you thought about how to deal with it?"

"Hey, why don't we share it equally, and then take them back to work as coolies."

For the hundreds of thousands of Mongolian prisoners in front of them, Ying Zheng and the three of them felt a huge headache.

Yingzheng would have been very happy if he had so many more labor forces for no reason in the past, but not now.

Since they purchased a large number of mechanical tools from modern times, they no longer used the lives of civilians to fill in places that required a lot of manpower, but used machines, so the labor required was greatly reduced.

But now that there are so many Mongolian captives, taking them back will not only waste resources, but also take care of them, which is too troublesome.

"Hey, that's the only way to go. It's not bad to bring them back to disrupt the population to supplement the population. When barbarians enter China, they will be in China. After they have children and get used to living in the same place, they will naturally become ours. people."

"Then it's decided. Let's leave this matter to specialized people. Let's talk about the issue of recovering the Song Dynasty. Have we decided where the first place we will recover next is?"

Putting their hands on the table, the three emperors looked at Zhao Heng at the same time.

"I've made up my mind, our next place to recover is our capital city of Song Dynasty, Bianliang city!"

Zhao Heng pointed his finger at a place marked with a red dot in the middle of the map. Here was Bianliang City, the capital of the Song Dynasty that had been lost for hundreds of years.

"Recover this place, why? Wasn't the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty Jinling City?"

There is a poem that goes like this: The warm breeze makes tourists drunk, and they call Hangzhou Bianzhou.

Although this poem is a poem mocking the grandparents of the Southern Song Dynasty, it also shows a phenomenon, that is, the scholar-bureaucrats of the Southern Song Dynasty were quite happy in Hangzhou.

Since I am happy in Hangzhou, why not regain Hangzhou?
"I don't want to go to recover the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty first, because the descendants of the descendants were driven there. For me, Bianliang City is still the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, so I want to recover Bianliang City and give a notice to the people of the Great Song Dynasty. That's me, Da Song, I'm back!"

Having said that, Zhao Heng felt so excited that he couldn't help but patted his thigh.

Hey, it doesn't hurt.

"Ah, Zhao Heng, you old fellow, why are you beating me?"

Rubbing his thighs, Li Shimin trembled and cursed at Zhao Heng. Just now, he just wanted to squeeze in and look at the map, but Zhao Heng slapped him directly, causing him to jump in pain.

"I made a mistake. It turned out that I hit you. I said why didn't it hurt."

Waving apologetically to Li Shimin, Zhao Heng laid out the map and continued to point on it.

"Here, here, and here are all the main transportation routes of my Song Dynasty. They are places that military strategists must contend for. In the past, they were heavily guarded. After we beat Bianliang, we can send troops to take advantage of the situation. Occupy these places, so that the Yuan army in the east and south of Bianliang City will be captured by us."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Heng gave up his seat and handed it over to Li Shimin and the three to continue watching.

"It seems to be really good. Old Zhao's brain has opened up today, and he knows how to fight."

"That's right, Lao Zhao used to be able to touch the pen, but now he not only knows where to hit, but also speaks clearly. This guy has made up lessons?"

Although the three of Li Shimin were whispering, they did not lower their voices. With Zhu Yuanzhang's loud voice here, Zhao Heng could hear their words clearly.

"Hmph, you three guys are too underestimating people. Although I don't know how to fight, it doesn't mean I don't know how to ask others. Don't speak ill of me behind my back. Tell me, do you guys want to fight with me? Bianliang City?"

"Yes, you old Zhao finally became the master once, how could we not listen to you."

Putting away the map on the table, Zhu Yuanzhang came over and hugged Zhao Heng's shoulder affectionately.

"Old Zhao, since I'm cooperating so much today, why don't you share a few more routes with me when we go to clear up the traitors later."

"That won't work. These are all divided up. What will you do if you give them to Lao Li and Ying Zheng? No, no, no."

Pushing the shameless Zhu Yuanzhang away, Zhao Heng hurried outside to announce the latest military order.

"Fuck, this guy runs so fast, I haven't started talking to him yet."

"Hmph, you're a self-defeating character, why is he staying here, is he being raided by you?"

Li Shimin raised two middle fingers at Zhu Yuanzhang, and left the military tent with a look of disgust.

"This guy still hates me. Isn't he just making a little more money from him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips indifferently, and suddenly found that Ying Zheng was still staying in the corner.

"Hey, old Ying, why are you still here, and you didn't hang out with them?"

"Hehe, a little profit, whether I have it or not doesn't matter much now, so the widow doesn't care much now."

Ying Zheng didn't move at all, just sat on the recliner with a book and kept giggling.

"Oh, it turned out to be a local tyrant, local tyrant, why are you sitting here now?"

Looking at Ying Zheng who kept smiling silly, Zhu Yuanzhang was very curious about what kind of news could make Ying Zheng, who is usually expressionless, smile at others.

"I am choosing a name for Li Yi's future child. I don't know what to choose. How about you, Lao Zhu, come over and give me a reference?"

"Goodbye, end of topic."

Without looking back, Zhu Yuanzhang left without hesitation. Yesterday's marriage was enough to stimulate us, and now you actually ask us to help you name your child.

Too much deception, too much deception!

"Xiangguo, the last general is all ready. Now that the army has assembled, we can set off at any time."

Standing under the high platform, Sima Hui saluted Sima Lun honestly.

"Okay, I have already given you the soldier talisman, and I will write it to you now. Everything that will happen next is up to you. What you can do depends on your own ability. After you come back, you will be able to fight." Xiangguo personally served you wine to congratulate you, but if you didn't finish it well, then you should come and see me."

"I will understand at the end."

After receiving the transfer order written by Sima Lun, Sima Hui saluted Sima Lun, then walked out of the hall with his head held high.

The feeling of holding your own life in your own hands is awesome!

"General, our soldiers and horses are ready."

"Well, pass on my orders."

After getting on his horse, Sima Hui asked the soldiers how far his orders had been completed.

"Reporting to the general, regarding your order...many people below have...different opinions."

Leading Sima Hui's war horse, the soldiers hesitated to speak, wondering whether they should say what the people below said.

"Tell me, what's your opinion?"

Riding on the horse, Sima Hui knew that he would definitely cause criticism after issuing a few orders, but for his own life, he would fight no matter what.

"They all said that the general gave orders indiscriminately, telling everyone to bring only five days' worth of food. Isn't that cheating everyone? What should everyone do if they run out of food."

"Hmph, they are a bunch of losers. In ancient times, Xiang Yu tried to destroy everything. If we don't force them like this, how can we go for a walk and then come back?"

This opportunity was obtained from Sima Lun by Sima Hui's guarantee with his life. If it was messed up, the group of soldiers who were fishing for fish would be fine, but he, Sima Hui, might die.

That's why Sima Hui came up with this impossible method to force them to work hard. Five days of food would cost them one day to travel, and there would only be four days left. In these four days, they either win the battle or sit and wait to die. .

"Go and tell them, just say that this is a death order from me. They have only one way, and that is to obey. If anyone is dissatisfied, let him come to me in person."

Brightening the muscles on his arms, Sima Hui had a ferocious face. To be able to get into the current position, Sima Hui relied on his ruthless temperament in addition to his surname Sima.

For him, it doesn't matter what you are, as long as you refuse to accept, come and fight!
"Okay, let's start. Hurry up and hurry. We don't have much time. Wherever we go early, we can also make repairs earlier."

After using violence to suppress dissatisfaction in the army, Sima Hui, a half-hearted general, took his army on the road.

"Hey, why did you keep him? When did it happen?"

Li Yi was very surprised when he saw Liu Bi smiling coquettishly at him. He thought this guy should be dead.

"When Liu Bi was almost killed by his lieutenant, the boat suddenly capsized a few times, and then Liu Bi took the opportunity to grab the knife and fight back. Wang Li and I happened to see this situation on the shore. After waiting for a while After the meeting, we communicated with General Liu across the river for a while, and then rescued General Liu."

"I see. No wonder you have the confidence to drive Sima Lun out of Luoyang City. It's because of him."

"That's right, General Liu has led hundreds of thousands of troops in Luoyang City, so he knows the defenders of Luoyang City very well."

"Well, as long as you can make sure of it yourself."

Now that Li Chengqian has arranged everything, Li Yi doesn't say much, and everything is waiting for the decisive battle in a few days.
