Chapter 52 Boyan's Death (VIP)

The spring sunshine is particularly warm, and it makes people feel warm and unspeakable. This is a consensus among people. However, this rule does not apply to Boyan. For the first time, he felt that the spring sun was so comfortable and painful. For Boyan at this time, the last thing he wanted to see was the spring sun. In his eyes, the sun was so burning on him, so poisonous that he couldn't stand it.

Boyan stretched out his thin right hand and lifted up the curtains, stretched his head out of the window, looked at the sun in the sky with his head tilted, and set up a pergola with his left hand, sighing: "The spring sun is also quite warm on his body. Lei Ming'er, help me and let me come down and bask in the sun."

Lei Ming'er was the captain of the personal soldiers and hurriedly advised: "Prime Minister, you should lie in the car. You are weak and can't stand the wind." The loyal captain of the personal soldiers was very worried and looked worried.

Boyan coughed rapidly and said stubbornly: "Don't say much, let me get down." Seeing that he was very stubborn, the captain of the personal soldiers was very stubborn, and even though he was unwilling to help him down, he said: "Prime Minister, be careful."

Since he got a heart disease, Boyan's condition has been getting worse and weaker every day, and his body has become weaker. A man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist has become extremely thin. Even the bamboo pole may be more angry than him.

Boyan held the shoulder of the captain of his own soldiers and looked at the sun and said, "The sun is so warm. I haven't had a good sun for a long time. Let's take a good sun." Boyan, who was warm with the sun, also had a rosy face and said, "It's so comfortable, so comfortable." He was so nagging like a dying person.

Seeing that his condition had improved slightly, the captain of the personal soldiers comforted him and said, "Prime Minister, if you feel comfortable in the sun, just shower for a while."

"Yeah!" Boyan nodded, moved his body for a while, and suddenly said, "This sun is so poisonous that I can't stand the sun. I'm sweating out. Hurry up, help me into the car. The sun is so strange. The sun in spring is even more poisonous than the one in the dog days."

"It's so strange. It's just right for the sun to burn on my body. I want to burn it for the rest of my life." The captain of the personal soldiers thought strangely. Seeing a lot of sweat oozing from Boyan's forehead, he realized that Boyan didn't tell lies. He really sweated. He hurriedly helped him into the car.

In fact, Boyan didn’t sweat because of the sweat, but the personal captain was confused when he was concerned, so he didn’t expect this level.

As soon as Boyan got on the car, he was shocked and his teeth hit each other, and said tremblingly: "Leng Cold Cold, so cold, so cold." He hugged his chest with his hands and shrank into a ball. The captain of the personal soldiers hurriedly helped him onto the bed and covered him with a brocade quilt. Boyan still called Leng from time to time. The captain of the personal soldiers covered everything in the car with the captain of Boyan, and then covered it with a thick layer. Boyan stopped calling Leng.

After struggling for a while, Boyan finally calmed down and the captain of the personal soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, before his breath was relieved, Boyan started to tormenting again and kept shouting: "Hot, hot, I'm so hot, I'm so hot, I'm falling into the fire pit and I'm going to burn it to death."

The captain of the personal soldiers looked back and saw that Boyan was sweating and smoke was sensation, like a steamer. He was shocked and took off the things covering Boyan's body in a hurry until he only covered him with a thin layer of shirt. The captain of the personal soldiers thought that he would be fine now, and he was relieved in secret. He did not finish his breath, but the old story repeated. Boyan called cold again, and his whole body was trembling with coldness. His teeth hit each other, making a plaid sound, making people know that something was wrong when they heard it.

Although Boyan's condition was severe, it was not as good as this level. He could still handle military affairs as usual, eat and sleep. Since the Battle of Songjiang, Boyan's condition suddenly worsened, and one day was worse than one day, and even acupuncture was useless. This was still tolerated, at least he could calm down and would not always make trouble for people. Now that he has recovered, he has actually made trouble for people, and the captain who has no nursing experience didn't know what to do.

The captain of the personal soldiers is an excellent soldier. There is no problem asking him to charge in the battle. There is a big problem asking him to come for care. It's really a bit confused.

Just when the captain of the personal soldiers was at a loss, something worse came again. A personal soldiers knocked on the door and reported: "Sir, the black whirlwind is coming." The Black whirlwind he mentioned was in office. Since the Battle of Songjiang, the Xuanjiao cavalry led by Zhao Qian, the Xuanjiao cavalry seemed like ghosts and could not be shaken off. They could not escape. Wherever the Mongolian soldiers fled, they would chase them. The Mongolian soldiers gave them the nickname. This nickname summarizes what they did. Every time they chased them, they did not fight. It seemed like a gust of wind rushed past the Mongolian formation, and wherever they passed, they would turn around and leave. When the Mongolian soldiers just breathed, they would appear again. Another rushing like a rainstorm, killing many, and galloping away.

It is their routine to come to visit early and night and at noon. At this time, the Mongolian soldiers had just prepared the meal and killed them without eating. They had to leave their bowls and run away for life. They fled for the cheap, and they picked up a bargain without having to cook. Of course, there were also many Mongolian soldiers who wanted to be full of dead even if they died. They were running and ate with food, but their intestines were a little unsatisfied. Many people would squat on the ground and cover their stomachs while running, with pain on their faces, and finally rolled to death.

Boyan was an extremely smart military commander. After grasping the rules of the Xuanjia cavalry, he decisively decided to poison the food, deliberately leaving it for Zhao Qian and others to eat, trying to poison them to death. Unfortunately, Zhao Qian and others didn't know if they had the ability to know the future, but they stopped eating their food. They just killed each other and then left.

The Xuanjia Cavalry is one of the two sharp blades in Li Jun's hand, each of which is a treasure. Li Jun knew that Boyan was an opponent who could not be defended. After learning about this, he thought that Boyan might poison him in desperation, so he ordered Zhao Qian and the others not to eat him again. Zhao Qian naturally followed the correct actions to avoid poisoning in the entire army.

Boyan did not fail to work hard to reorganize the battle formation and fight to the death. One would have a defeated soldier. Even though he was a very excellent military strategist, it would be easier to arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers in this situation. Not to mention him, even Genghis Khan would be powerless to do anything underground.

Although the retreat was in a mess, Boyan's outstanding military talent still played an important role. On the flat terrain, Boyan ordered the remaining soldiers to no longer go to flat places, but to go to complex terrain, such as water, canals, and places with weeds. If there are mountains, they will pass through the mountains. In this way, Zhao Qian's Xuanjia Cavalry will no longer be used.

Boyan's plan was actually very good. Although there were not many mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, there were as numerous as cows and canals. You could find places full of weeds anywhere. It was very convenient for the army to walk from the weeds. However, Boyan forgot another person, this person was Liu Hezi. The guerrillas under Liu Hezi were almost everywhere, and the news came very well. There was no such term as "police dog" at that time. Otherwise, Boyan would definitely say that the nose of the guerrillas was more sensitive than that of the police dogs, and they would encounter guerrillas wherever they went.

The guerrillas either attacked and harassed them by small groups, or informed them. It was either Liu Hezi's regular army who came to give them a ruthless fight, Zhao Qian's Xuanjia cavalry, or other Song army visited them, causing Boyan to lose his troops. The most unlucky thing was that the fallen defeated soldiers would be tortured to death once they fell into the hands of the people. Lighting sky lanterns, stooping manure, peeling and cramping may happen. It was not that the common people were cruel. It was because the Mongolian army did too many bad things in Jiangnan, and the people hated them to the core. Originally, there were nearly 50,000 defeated soldiers who broke out from Songjiang, but there were only a few thousand left behind, and they all became frightened birds. As soon as they heard the turmoil, they thought they were chasing soldiers.

In the face of such a heavy blow, Boyan, a tough guy who never knew what danger was, had to feel desperate for the first time in his life. It was impossible to get rid of his illness. In the face of the failure blow, in the helpless torture, in the hopeless despair, his condition became worse and worse, and later he had to have personal soldiers to help him even when he got up. Now it's even better, he actually suffered from severe damp heat, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, just torture people.

In fact, in the face of such a heavy blow, not to mention that Boyan is a flesh-and-blood man, even an iron man could not stand it. Many famous commanders in history were full of energy in the face of victory, and eventually suffered a series of failures without confidence and had to fall down.

Napoleon was rated as the greatest military genius in the history of human merit. The reason why he was able to win invincible and defeat everything was not only his outstanding military genius, but also had confidence. His remarks fully demonstrate how high his evaluation of confidence was. For him, his confidence was as important as his military genius. The series of failures starting from Moscow finally shook his confidence. Some scholars believe that his lack of confidence was an extremely important reason for the failure to encounter Waterloo.

The ancient man Boyan was fortunate to become one of these commanders.

Just when the captain of his personal soldiers was at a loss, Boyan's intermittent voice sounded, saying, "Send the order, scatter and retreat northward. Go to Changzhou to meet." Boyan was concerned about Emperor Kublai Khan's order, and in this case, he did not forget the safety of the soldiers. He did many cruel things and was unforgivable, but his feelings were worthy.

Boyan's intention was very obvious, that was, to scatter and escape as much as he could. In any case, it was much better than walking together to encircle and annihilate the Song army. Boyan's method was a good method for an army that had no hope of failure. In history, many armies in history took this method to break through and rush to a designated location to assemble.

If Boyan used this method earlier, there would be much more Mongolian troops who escaped. It would probably be a bit late to use it now. If his few troops were dispersed, Jiangnan, where there were so many guerrillas, it would be like a fish that crashed into a fish net, and he would have no way to escape. The reason why Boyan didn't want to use this method was because his arrogant personality was causing trouble. Boyan was extremely talented and had not encountered decent setbacks in his life. He was defeated all the way and always wanted to regroup and make a comeback. It was this mentality that caused the Mongolian army to suffer greater losses.

The personal captain always carried out the words of Boyan without fail, and immediately sent the order. Unfortunately, the order was conveyed, but it was no longer possible to execute it, because thousands of remaining soldiers were surrounded by the group.

This time, not only were the Xuanjia cavalry, but also the regular army led by the fashionable and long-lasting army that had been operating behind enemy lines. He came to intercept Boyan on the order of Liu Hezi. Liu Hezi was a famous general who had established immortal achievements and had strict thinking without any leakage. Naturally, he would not let Boyan escape. He had ordered all troops to cooperate with the Song army led by Li Jun to intercept Boyan, mobilize the people to reconnaissance, provide intelligence, block, and do his best to kill Boyan in Jiangnan.

Boyan is a genius military commander. With his outstanding military talent, he can always bring the army out of danger. Although the price is very heavy, he still escapes from danger.

A very important reason why Boyan was able to escape was that Liu Hezi received information. Guo Kan wanted to go ashore in Jiangyin. If Guo Kan had hundreds of thousands of troops ashore in Jiangyin, the consequences would be very serious. If he chose between killing Boyan and preventing Guo Kan from going ashore, it would naturally be more important and more urgent to prevent Guo Kan from going ashore. It was precisely based on this consideration that Liu Hezi had to mobilize some troops to attack Jiangyin at night and blow up Jiangyin Wharf.

After the successful night attack on Jiangyin, Liu Hezi ordered the flexible right-hand man to lead his troops to encircle and annihilate Boyan. He himself led his troops to Changzhou and Zhenjiang to imitate the night attack on Jiangyin and then destroy the Changzhou Wharf and Zhenjiang Wharf. In that case, Guo Kan's army would not be able to get ashore. Even if he got ashore, the actions would be postponed because the supply could not keep up. The benefits were naturally self-evident.

It was Liu Hezi who could not do his best that Boyan ran away again and again. Although Zhao Qian's Xuanjia Cavalry was brave, the number of people was limited after all, and after expansion, it was only 5,000 people. It was really difficult to deal with tens of thousands of defeated soldiers, not to mention Boyan, a genius commander. Although Li Jun drove the army to chase, the Mongols' two legs were comparable to four legs in order to escape. Except for the Xuanjia Cavalry with the best war horses in the Song Dynasty that could catch up, other troops were really difficult to catch up.

History has verified a rule countless times: it is always difficult to catch up with enemies who are determined to escape. Even if they catch up, it is difficult to wipe out them all. There are always many fish that leak the net like crucian carp across the river.

Seeing Fei Shixing and Zhao Qian surrounded the Xuanjia cavalry, the captain's face turned pale, and he was also desperate. The captain of the personal army followed Boyan through life and death, and had a long battle formation, and learned a lot of Boyan's military tactics. After weighing the pros and cons, he immediately had an idea and ordered loudly: "The Prime Minister has an order, rush towards this side." He pointed his right hand to the front and right, and said: "Our reinforcements are here, right here."

The Mongolian soldiers now like to hear the words "reinforcement". When they heard what he said, they had a spring on their feet, and bounced the old man and rushed over as if they were desperate.

The captain of the personal soldiers carried Boyan on his back, rushed into the weeds with a few personal soldiers, and escaped along the river with the cover of the weeds. Fei Shixing and Zhao Qian were determined to catch Boyan, but they did not forget to search for him, but their vision was blocked by the weeds, and they did not find the captain of the personal soldiers fleeing with Boyan on his back.

"Zhonghe, I'll be relieved when you come. I'll hand over all the soldiers to you. Zhonghe, please refer to the emperor. I'm incompetent and failed to fulfill the emperor's order. I'm extremely guilty." Boyan supported himself and said the first and last words after seeing Guo Kan. He used all his strength to say: "Give me back the mountains and rivers..." He turned his head and died in anger.

In history, Boyan, a famous minister, famous general who once made great achievements and destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, was so energetic that when history came back, his majesty was no longer there, and he actually became a heart-wrenching illness for the four words "returning my rivers and mountains" and eventually died.

Li Jun commented like this after learning about this: "I don't have the ability to anger Zhou Yu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". I want Boyan to talk to the Spring Festival couplets just to sham him. Unexpectedly, in order to show off his second couplet, "The Great Wall is magnificently updated by ten thousand miles", he found out that my horizontal banner was "returning my rivers and mountains" and realized that he had an unforgivable mistake inadvertently, and then he had a heart disease and later death."

Li Jun used a song "Prison Song" to scold Lu Wenhuan to death, and used the "Return My Rivers and Mountains" to anger Boyan to death, so he got a very famous nickname "Speaking and Brushing". The four words "Speaking and Brushing and Brushing often describe those who are helpless and gather their anger at the pen to vent. The people who are scolded are still free and easy, and there is no use at all. Only Li Jun is different. Lu Wenhuan and Boyan died from verbal punishment and the other died from verbal punishment. They can definitely be regarded as these four words.

Guo Kan couldn't believe that the person in front of him was Boyan. In his memory, Boyan was a superman with endless energy. Even if he was sick, he could not have been so sick. But the facts were right in front of him, and he had to believe why Boyan was like this. Guo Kan, a "god man" with supreme wisdom, had to be confused for the first time in his life.

What made him even more confused was the last four words of Boyan as "returning my country and mountains" and stared at the captain of the personal soldiers. The captain of the personal soldiers understood what he meant and hurriedly told the story.

"I didn't expect the Spring Festival couplets to be so happy. It's such a strange thing." Guo Kan thought in disbelief and asked: "The Prime Minister is so ill, why don't he go back to Dadu for recuperation? Why don't Alahan report it?"

The captain of the personal soldiers replied: "The Prime Minister will not let him go. General Alahan has written a memorial and tore it out for the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister said that the Southern Dynasty will never be destroyed, and he will not return to Dadu for a day."
