    The emperor made such an arrangement, and his attitude could not be more obvious. Amidst the admiration at the bottom of the steps, the emperor stood up, tried his best to make a solemn gesture, and announced loudly: "Zhongshu Province has drafted a decree, with Zheng Yunming as the leader of Henan,  The ambassador to Hebei, Hedong, and Yanshan, who is also the prime minister on the right, controls the troops and horses in the front. When the imperial decree comes, he will immediately lead the entire army and march north to prevent the Hu people from having a moment to breathe after their new defeat. " The emperor's decree is even  Although it was delivered with gold-lettered plaques, it was still a step too late. When the imperial edict arrived in Ezhou, the more than 200,000 troops gathered here had already set off to recapture Xiangyang.  The recovery of Xiangyang was achieved in an extremely easy way. Prince Mo Ge, who was lucky enough to escape to Jiangbei, did not dare to stay for a long time. After gathering tens of thousands of defeated soldiers, he hurriedly left northward. Before leaving, he handed over the defense of Xiangyang to Jinghu.  It is said that this was not an improper handling of Qi Lian Tai, the official envoy. Since Li Zhen, a soldier with ten thousand households in Xiangyang, was captured by the Southern Dynasty, Qi Ling Tai was the highest officer in Xiangyang in terms of his position, but Qi Ling Tai¡¯s subordinates were only  More than a thousand people were killed. Although the defeated Mongolian army kept moving north through Xiangyang these days, no one was willing to stay and share the fate of Xiangyang. Even a three-year-old child could understand that Zheng Xianggong of the Southern Dynasty would soon  He will lead an army straight to Xiangyang. This time, no army or horse can stop his victorious army.  The strength begging platform tried every means, but in the end he only managed to gather more than 10,000 defeated soldiers. He knew that these newly defeated soldiers were not enough to deal with Zheng Yunming's attack. In desperation, he chose a stupid and outrageous method to strengthen his troops.  He ordered the army to recruit men in Xiangyang City, and ordered all the men in the city over the age of thirteen to guard the city walls. He thought that with his own strength of more than 10,000 men, it was more than enough to suppress the men in the city. It was the cheapest to use the manpower of the Southern Dynasty to compete with the Southern Dynasty army.  He forgot one thing. The people of Xiangyang were reserve soldiers who had been trained by Zheng Yunming for twenty years. When they had no weapons in their hands, they could only swallow their anger in the face of the Mongolian army and send weapons to them.  It is tantamount to letting a tiger or a wolf out of its cage.  Especially when the Southern Dynasty army comes.  After Bai Yijie's spies disguised themselves as defeated soldiers and sneaked into Xiangyang City, they immediately organized the strong men who had been issued, killed the Mongolian army officers guarding the city gate, opened the west gate and the south gate, and the Song army rushed in, while the soldiers everywhere in the city  The strong men also launched at the same time, sweeping away the Mongolian army in the city almost instantly, and captured Qilitai and dozens of his cronies alive. By the time Zheng Yunming entered the city at dawn, the city was already filled with flags of the Song army.  , and countless Xiangyang people who cheered with tears.  The palace of the Ambassador of Jinghu was already filled with a sea of ??joy, and the servants of the major restaurants in Xiangyang were presenting fine wines and delicacies like running water. The name of the fine wine that had been stored in Xiangyang City for twenty years was "Xiongnu Blood", or  The fine wine brewed using the new distillation method after the victory in the first defense battle of Xiangyang is now a good time to talk, laugh and drink the blood of the Huns.  Sitting high in the hall can be said to be half of the country on which the Song Dynasty was founded. In addition to the current leaders of several major battlefields, all the elites of the Southern Dynasty were present. Wang Deng, who sat at the head of the table, obviously looked lonely. Who would have thought that he was thinking about this scene so much.  When the final battle of many years really came, neither he nor Yang Juan was present. It was really the biggest shortcoming in life. Yang Juan was aloof by nature, and in Yunnan, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, so he didn't think anything about it.  For Wang Deng, who was obsessed with fighting, this was indeed the hardest thing to accept.  Originally, the Privy Council expected that even if the Mongolian army came to attack in a large scale, the focus would definitely be on Sichuan. With the first general under Zheng Yunming guarding the area, he was taking the path of a needle-to-nose approach. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden change in Xiangyang, and the Mongols took advantage of the trend.  The focus of the attack was on Jinghu. Wang Deng led 30,000 elite soldiers from Shu, but he was blocked by more than 10,000 Mongolian navy and army troops at the mouth of the gorge. This was an unprecedented predicament for him in his military history. In the end, Wang Deng used a trick to lure the Mongolian army into defeat.  Entering the canyon near Baidi City and annihilating them all, they were able to successfully break through the gorge defense line and break the siege of Jiangling. However, by this time, the Battle of Ezhou was almost over, and the Mongolian army had been completely defeated.  Not to mention Wang Deng's achievements were the greatest, even Xiang Shibi, who was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield on the southern front, was not as good as him.  Bai Yijie looked at Wang Deng's depressed look, waved his feather fan and laughed and said: "Why bother in Jing and Song Dynasty? Now all the great mountains and rivers are in front of you, Luoyang, Chang'an, Taiyuan, Daming, Jinan, Yanshan and even Bianliang, how many  The glory is waiting for you to pick it up, so why bother yourself for the credit you didn't get in this battle?" Wang Deng said solemnly: "I am not doing it for the credit, but I can't compete with the main force of the Mongols.  " Wei Sheng drank up the wine in one gulp and said loudly: "What's important? I already know the strength of the Tatars. Twenty years ago, they were indeed an invincible force in the world, but they have fallen behind.  Even with hundreds of thousands of kilograms of huge artillery, it is still impossible to conquer the strong defensive barriers of our army. This is not because of backward weapons. It is because of backward training, tactics, supplies, technology and other aspects. What is the comparison with Feixiangong?  Sun Wu?"Among the world's geniuses, it's not that we are really braver than the famous senior general Han Yue, but that the level of the Song Dynasty is much higher than that of the Mongolian country. In the future conquests, our army will be unstoppable!"  " "That's very well said!  "Lu Wende, who was sitting in the first place on the left, stood up and threw away the leg of lamb in his hand. In terms of credit, in addition to the Ezhou officers and soldiers, Lu Wende and the Song Dynasty navy ranked second. He naturally had the confidence to say this: "In the past, Zhang Rou  There is a saying that even ten Song soldiers are no match for one Mongolian soldier. After today, I think we have to put it another way: one Song soldier can defeat five Tatars!  Break it, even if you say it is, it is not!  " Only Han Feng remained calm while sitting. As the number one general who gained the most and captured the most enemy troops in the entire battle, his response was unusually calm. He said calmly: "Brother Meng will bring hundreds of thousands of soldiers.  , gathered in Ezhou to promote the narrowing of the area, and could not use the strategy of siege and reinforcements, and used our army's reinforcements as the first target. This was the root cause of his defeat. The advantage of the Mongolian cavalry lies in its ability to advance and retreat in large strides, and its mobility  If they form a formation and fight hard, they will expose their shortcomings. But if they are in the Central Plains, on the vast land of Qilu, Yanzhao, they will never step into the same trap again, especially in Mobei in the future.  Or the endless grasslands and wilderness areas in the Western Regions, which are the homeland of the Mongolian cavalry. It will never be so easy to win easily.  "Zhang Sheng shouted: "You talk exactly like that husband, so boring!  Come, come, let¡¯s celebrate victory today, regardless of the bloody battle tomorrow!  Military advisor, do you dare to bet with me?  " Everyone knows that he is a reckless man, and he is addicted to gambling. There are strict orders in the army not to gamble, but as long as he leaves the military camp, he will most likely end up in a casino. There is a song in the army: "Iron bones and copper heads.  Qian Ju, I will be rewarded a thousand and eight dollars today, and I will have nothing to worry about tomorrow.  "What I'm talking about is Zhang Qianjie, the brave and unparalleled man in the camp. He fought bravely and often received heavy rewards. However, in the blink of an eye, they all fell into the bottomless pit of the casino. Even to this day, they have not been able to accumulate any land. Bai Yijie laughed and said  : "What do you want to bet on?  " Zhang Sheng rolled his eyes, showed a treacherous smile, and said: "If I guess odd or even, use chips, I'm afraid others will say that I bullied the military advisor. If I put on a show of elephants and elephants, and fight against two continents, we rude people will not do it.  Maybe we are competing with the military advisor. In this case, let's make a simple bet and guess where our husband is now.  " At the celebration banquet, Zheng Yunming just presided over the opening ceremony of the banquet. He said a few words such as "Everyone is brave, let's have a good day." He hurriedly left the banquet after drinking for two rounds. Everyone was used to it, and Xianggong didn't.  People who enjoy lively scenes have already developed the habit of entertaining themselves. They have never thought about the whereabouts of their husband. When Zhang Sheng mentioned it, everyone immediately became interested while they were drunk. Wang Ziqiu shouted  : "Have you forgotten how your spouse used to be?  After such an easy killing, how could he come out easily without locking himself in his study to learn ten or twenty lessons?  " Everyone laughed, but Chen Guang shook his head and said: "I don't think so. After every battle, my husband will first care about his injuries and pay homage to the deceased. I estimate that he is either doing private rituals in Longtan Temple or in the longevity camp.  Check on the wounded.  "Yu Jie also seemed to be infected by the lively atmosphere. He said in a long voice: "The envoy from the imperial court arrived yesterday.  Perhaps the Prime Minister is asking for rewards for our merits. For today's great merits, I don't know how many people here have been granted marquises and generals, and their ancestors have been honored. From now on, everyone will have to write down the annals of history and be famous for generations to come.  " Everyone was excited. If you can leave a name in history during your lifetime, it will be worthy of spending so many years of blood on the battlefield. But they heard Zhang Sheng say proudly: "No, no, I said everything you said.  No, my husband must be here." "Wait a minute.  "Bai Yijie shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Every time you pass, there must be a reward. I don't know what the host is today?  " Zhang Sheng picked up a silk scarf baggage from his side and untied it. It was a gorgeous Mongolian gold wide-brimmed helmet inlaid with large and small gems, and said: "We were deceived by the Tatar Li Daitao's plan.  Although he couldn't hold Meng Ge straight up, he was finally able to get the helmet with his bare hands.  What do the military advisors think?  Is this helmet worth at least two hundred taels of silver?  " Bai Yijie nodded: "It's a good thing. I don't know what I should do to respond?  I am a very poor scholar, and I will never be able to obtain such a treasure.  " "Nothing else is needed," Zhang Sheng said loudly, "If I guess right, all I need is the white feather fan in the military advisor's hand.  " As soon as he said these words, the whole hall burst into laughter. Wang Jian, the commander of the mighty military capital in Sichuan, patted the table and said with a smile: "Zhang Manzi!  Do you, a chaotic man like you who can't read a few Chinese characters, also want to imitate a military advisor and become an elegant and Confucian general?  This is why you ask a monkey to wear a costume, which looks different inside and out!  Zhang Sheng suppressed his blush and shouted loudly: "Who is willing to talk to these scholars?"In this way, you don't use swords and guns when fighting, just use a feather fan to show off!  All I have to do is take the fan and hang it in the hall of my house. When guests come and ask about the fan, I will tell them that I won it from the smartest man in the world. How glorious!  " Bai Yijie laughed loudly, raised his feather fan flat, placed it gently on the table, and said, "Okay, I'll bet on this host!"  Please tell me where your husband is, please!  " Zhang Sheng said triumphantly: "You and others don't know that my husband is not elsewhere at this time. He is hunting for flowers in the prisoner camp in the west of the city.  " When he said these words, there was a huge uproar in the hall. Jiao Jin slapped the table with a loud bang, and shouted sternly: "Zhang Sheng, you are so brave, how dare you slander my husband's reputation!  Do you understand that you are going to lose your head?  " Zhang Sheng argued: "When I came to the banquet just now, I saw my husband dressed neatly and riding his horse out of the west gate. Is there any other place on the west gate that my husband should go to besides the prison camp?  I heard that Brother Meng brought a lot of palace family members with him when he came to the south this time, and there were quite a few good-looking women among them. I heard that there was a woman from the Western Regions who was originally the concubine of a king of a small country in the Western Regions.  How do you put it in scholarly terms?  The fish sinks and the wild goose falls?  Yes, it¡¯s called Chen Yu Luo Yan!  Moreover, this woman is born with a strange nature and can emit a body fragrance similar to the fragrance of flowers. I heard the soldiers in the vanguard say that even if they have not seen her face yet, the men who walk through her tent are all intoxicated by her fragrance. You  If there is such a beauty, wouldn¡¯t your husband go and see her in person?  " Han Feng shouted solemnly: "Why do you think my husband is such a person?  Don't say anything about a woman from the Western Regions. Even if the Xizi is really reincarnated, does it mean that your husband is really a husband?  Zhang Sheng muttered: "Fu Chai may not be that bad. Storytellers have said that before Gou Jian, Fu Chai was still the overlord."  My husband is not a saint who is not close to women. If you look at his wife and concubines, they are all first-class beauties, you know that he will never treat himself badly when it comes to women.  " Although everyone is not angry, they all know in their hearts that what Zhang Sheng said is very reasonable. Mr. Zheng is a true-tempered person. He will never be as rigid as Master Zhu. His official philosophy is that public officials should be self-righteous and private affairs should not be discussed.  , He has no need to hide his interest in beautiful women. Although he has never exceeded etiquette in his life, it would be reasonable for the emperor to reward him with the captured beauty. Bai Yijie smiled and picked it up from the table.  Feather Fan sighed: "It seems that I won this game.  " Zhang Sheng was startled, and then said angrily: "What the military advisor said makes no sense. I see that my husband is lucky, so how can I ignore the bet we made?  " Bai Yijie smiled and said: "I did not say that the bet was void, but my husband must not be in the palace tent of the Mongolian concubine.  " Zhang Sheng asked: "Where did the military advisor say it was?  " "Outside the west gate.  " "Wow, apart from being in a prisoner camp, do you need your husband's personal attention elsewhere?  " "I believe it.  Bai Yijie said calmly: "There is a place that my husband must go to. Come with me, everyone!"  My husband must hope that we are all present at this time!  " The generals rode towards the west gate. When the soldiers and civilians in the city saw the generals, big and small, moving out together, they didn't know what was going on. They all gave way. A group of people left the west gate, crossed the prison camp, and went straight west to the bank of Tanxi River. " Here.  The bamboo forest is lush and the breeze is blowing. There is a person's tombstone in the bamboo forest. The man in front of the tombstone lowers his head and says nothing. It is Zheng Yunming, the right prime minister who oversees the soldiers and horses. Since he crossed the prisoner camp and ran towards Tanxi, everyone already understood.  There are the tombs of three people here. They are the former Jinghu Ambassador Meng Gong, the Jinghu Ambassador Lu Xunzhi, and the Jing'e Dutong Ge Huai. When Meng Gong died, it was about the time when the two countries officially went to war.  In the eighth year, Meng Gong, Zheng Yunming, and Lu Xunzhi, the then envoys along the Yangtze River, and Jinghu Envoy Lu Xunzhi, were preparing to launch a large-scale northern expedition with the cooperation of Henan's internal forces, regaining the two capitals in one fell swoop, and accomplishing the unfinished business of the Duanping year. However, at that time, the DPRK and China  The Siming people controlled the government, and the three frontline marshals repeatedly failed to apply. Meng Gong became depressed because of this, and finally passed away. When he was about to die, he called Zheng Yunming to the front and pointed to the north. He couldn't speak, but he couldn't stop crying.  The next year, Lu Xunzhi, the envoy of Jinghu, also passed away due to illness. On his deathbed, he said: "All honor and disgrace are always in vain. I am happy to see my young son turn out to be a hero. It is not sad to ride a crane today. I look forward to Daning Palace with regret."  " The next day, Ge Huai, the governor of Jing'e, laughed loudly during a banquet at home and died without illness. According to the last wishes of Meng Gong, Lu and Ge, Meng Gong was buried at the junction of Tanxi and the Yangtze River, with Lu  The two kings were buried beside them. "You know, Gongfu.  Zheng Yunming said slowly: "Why did Meng Gong choose this place?"  " Without waiting for Bai Yijie to answer, he pointed to the distant river and said to himself: "From here, you can cross the river and land on the newly built official road. From here, all the way north is Tangzhou, and further north.They are Caizhou, Yingtian, Luoyang, and Bianjing.  " Zheng Yunming spoke slowly, just like Meng Gong told him about the mountains and rivers of Henan and the people in the city. "If we go with one hundred thousand troops, we must send one army to Shangluo, but the enemy capital Tongguan comes to help.  Send troops to camp in Caizhou, and they will be horns with the Huaixi army. Then the army will advance from the main road, first take Yingzhou, and then march to Zhuxian Town, then, then, then." He said three "thens" in a row, and suddenly his throat choked.  , unable to speak any more, tears flowed from his eyes. Bai Yijie silently held Zheng Yunming's arm and said softly: "Yesterday, Kublai Khan learned of the news of Meng Ge's death and led all the troops in Hanzhong.  , and galloped to Mobei overnight.  I have ordered Li Zengbo (Sichuan Xuanfu Envoy), together with Liu Zheng, to lead a large army to launch a suppressive attack on the entire territory of Shuzhong. We must use the most powerful offensive to drive out all the remaining Mongolian troops on the Sichuan Road, and then march into Hanzhong to peep  Chang'an.  " Zheng Yunming lowered his head, as if he was not listening to his words at all. Bai Yijie added: "There is an express report from Huaidong. The enemy's Shandong Governor Li Tan has learned about the outcome of the Battle of Ezhou. He was greatly shaken and sent messages to everyone.  The soldiers and horses issued mobilization orders and sent secret letters to Huaidong Zhiji's account, asking for their return.  I am working on a book for the imperial court all night long, please" "No need.  Zheng Yunming suddenly raised his head and said, "Is Jia Sidao still in Yueyang?"  " "Jia Gong has been helping Dongting military affairs these days, and he has made a lot of contributions.  Bai Yijie smiled and said: "It was also difficult for him. He actually dared to go to the enemy camp in person at the last moment of the war, and said that he had surrendered tens of thousands of troops under the veteran gunner, Marshal Zhang Zhongren. With this credit, he should probably be able to make up for his crime."  .  " "You go and tell him to take a boat back to Huaidong immediately. For the sake of the great cause of the country, I will not argue with him about past grudges. I will amend my watch and write a memorial, asking the court to still let him be the commander-in-chief of Huaixi and Huaidong.  People and horses, unite with Li Tan, and the whole army will regain the land of Shandong!  " "I'm afraid this is an act of letting a tiger enter the mountains, and I will definitely regret it in the future." Before Bai Yijie could finish speaking, Zheng Yunming hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted: "Tell Jia Sidao, I only want the Northern Expedition, and everything is for the Northern Expedition!"  He is free to snatch fame and other things, but if anyone dares to obstruct the Northern Expedition, I will crush them!  " Only then did Bai Yijie understand Zheng Yunming's determination, agreed, and said: "Fan Yongji has a letter." Zheng Yunming's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and he asked: "When did you come?  "Not long after the banquet started, he moved very quickly. He said that the sixteen cities under Henan's rule were ready. Once the army arrived, they would immediately return to their original positions. This Fan Yongji would not have been able to endure hardships for many years." Zheng Yunming nodded slowly.  , with a solemn tone that sounded like the majesty of the Yangtze River: "Gongfu, we are finally starting!  " Bai Yijie's heart was like a galloping horse, and he shouted wildly: "Drive out the Tartars, restore the unification, and show the Chinese spirit for three hundred years, only now!  " Zheng Yunming turned around. In front of him were his brothers who had shared weal and woe for twenty years. They were the elite troops he had built up from scratch. With the expectation of victory, he wanted to fight with these Song Dynasty brothers.  He smiled, and his clear voice echoed in the bamboo forest: "When you go, you will encounter thousands of enemies that you have never thought of!"  You will encounter the high walls of the old capital of Kaifeng, the vast plains of Yanzhao, the desert and Gobi in Mobei, the rain, snow and wind and frost of Liaodong, the vast wilderness of the Western Regions, and even the dense rain forests of Tianzhu. You will encounter all kinds of things.  Such a city and people, some customs have never even been imagined. You will meet the powerful Liaodong armored warriors, the real riding and shooting nomads of Mobei, the Dashi assassins who are proficient in assassination, and the world-class Khorasan cavalry in riding and shooting.  Even the Crusaders wearing crosses and heavy armor, when you are about to face all this, I ask you, are you ready?  "The winter sunshine shone on everyone's face, casting a layer of golden brilliance on their resolute faces. Han Feng raised the battle flag in his hand, and the flag embroidered with "Unparalleled National Soldiers" rolled and unfolded in the wind, like  A magnificent history is about to unfold. "We are ready!"  ¡± (The book is complete, thank you readers for your attention and love these days)
