Chapter 120: The Battle of Chengdu (1)

A rapid sound of horse hooves sounded, and Li Jun rode on the horse and rushed over. Behind him were Liu Hezi, the guard captain Duan Ganmu and a group of guards.

When he arrived in front of a house, Li Jun pulled the reins, jumped off the horse's back, and made a chest expansion movement. It felt very comfortable. He smiled at Liu Hezi and said, "General Liu, do you know? Riding a horse is very comfortable, but there is one part that needs to be suffered, it is here, the butt." He patted his right hand on his butt and said, "It's really unbearable after riding a horse for such a long way."

Li Jun is a very well-educated person, and he speaks and does things very well. Liu Hezi never expected that he would say such things and do such actions. With the dignified honor of the nineteenth century, it is a big mistake to say that he suffered his butt in front of his ministers. Li Jun not only said it, but also slapped his butt, which was really shocking.

"Maybe, not following the old rules is the emperor's greatest advantage, and the court has achieved such achievements today." It should have been interpreted as Li Jun's unaware of the emperor's majesty, but in Liu Hezi's heart it was interpreted as Li Jun's advantage, and he smiled and said, "The emperor spared no money to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. I am impressed by it."

Li Jun looked at the house in front of him and said, "You, don't flatter me, I'm telling the truth. I really admire the Mongolians for being on horseback for the rest of their lives. The house is big and grand, and it's enough for us to use as our command post. We have many people and can live there. Let's go in and have a cup of tea, take a break, and wait for Zhang Jue and the others to come, let's discuss how to fight in Chengdu."

The Song army started fighting everywhere in Sichuan, and the flowers bloomed everywhere. Shusukuru could not resist it at all, and retreated to Chengdu step by step. When Li Jun showed up at Jianmen Pass, he motivated the soldiers to fight a battle, leaving behind a ceremonial guard for Jiao Yu to use to confuse the Mongols. However, he and Liu Hezi led his army to sweep Beichuan, as if he had entered a no-man's land, and soon rushed into Chengdu from the north.

After rushing for such a long way, I was indeed a little thirsty. If I could drink a little tea to relieve my fatigue, it would be really desirable. Liu Hezi had no objection and nodded and said, "It's so great."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted, "Emperor." He shouted very excitedly, as if a wanderer who had been in a foreign land had suddenly met his relatives.

"The future is coming." Li Jun knew who was here as soon as he heard it. He turned around and saw that Zhang Jue was jumping down from his horse, taking two steps at a time, running to Li Jun, and was about to kneel down to salute Li Jun. Li Jun hurriedly held it and said, "Jun Yu is free, no." He looked at Zhang Jue carefully for a while and said to Liu Hezi: "General Liu, look, the general is the general. When he fights in this war, he feels tired and hard. He is getting more and more energetic. After fighting in Sichuan for so long, he is actually reborn and getting younger and younger."

No one expected that Li Jun would actually speak like this. Liu Hezi couldn't help laughing and burst out laughing.

Li Jun was a joke. Zhang Jue should be humble. Unexpectedly, he admitted that he was young. He said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. I have fought in Sichuan for twenty years. The battle of Mengge killed the Tartars in Diaoyu City. The minister also participated. Although I won the battle, Mengge also died, but I didn't have the ease of fighting this year. At that time, I and General Wang Jian held Diaoyu City for more than five months, and the troops were small, so what could I do to hold on to.

No one can tell what time is, and I am always walking on thin ice. This year is different. I have troops and advanced weapons. I don’t have to think about whether I can win when fighting. I just want to win, how to win, how to minimize casualties and give the Tartars the greatest damage." I was excited and I was a little slandering. I took a breath and said in an exaggerated sentence: "Your Majesty, I am fighting one battle and winning two battles. I can’t be young if I don’t have to be young."

For famous generals like Zhang Jue who have fought hard for 20 years in Sichuan, they have a deeper understanding of the changes in the current situation and the past of Sichuan. At first glance, these words are self-proclaimed words, but in deep thought, they are heartfelt words, which make people feel deeply moved.

Liu Hezi was laughing, but after hearing his words, he could no longer laugh, his eyes were filled with tears. Zhang Jue's words were filled with bitterness from the years of war against Sichuan soldiers and civilians. How could Liu Hezi, a passionate general, laugh?

Li Jun gently wiped his eyes and comforted Zhang Jue, "Don't worry, Jun Yu, now the court has fought back, Chengdu is over, Sichuan will be fully liberated. Your hard battle for more than ten years has finally received the best reward, and you should be happy."

"Yeah!" Zhang Jue, the general, nodded his head and could no longer speak. Tears flowed down his cheeks. Twenty years of hard fighting were to recover Sichuan. The battle of Chengdu was about to begin and Sichuan was about to be liberated. For Zhang Jue, there was nothing more gratifying than this. He was unable to speak in his heart.

"My minister Zheng Jinghe, please see the emperor." Zheng Jinghe's voice brought Li Jun, the minister who was immersed in his feelings, back to reality. Li Jun looked up and saw Zheng Jinghe saluting him, hurriedly stopped him, "General Zheng, you are tired of your lap and horse, and you are very hard, so you don't need these empty rituals."

His eyes flashed on Zheng Jinghe and nodded and praised: "I haven't seen each other for half a year. Our naval commander has become more mature. I guess there must be a pleasant tactical breakthrough in addition to the 'Zheng family's tactics'."

Zheng Jinghe's "Zheng's tactics" were famous in the Southern Song Dynasty. The navy adopted his tactics to fully utilize the advantages of the Southern Song Navy and achieved countless victories.

"The emperor praised it, but I am ashamed of it." Zheng Jinghe said humbly.

The three tiger generals gathered together for a while, which was a motivational event. Li Jun was very happy and said, "Let's go in and have a tea. By the way, we will summarize the battle in Chengdu." He walked in the head first, and Zheng Jing and others followed him into the house.

Li Jun asked Liu Hezi and the others to sit down, Duan Ganmu brought someone to bring tea. Li Jun had just brought it to his hands, but before he could take a sip, he plunged in and asked Li Jun for tea and said, "Your Majesty, I won't leave any tea for me, it's so heartbreaking."

After hearing his words, the people in the room immediately responded. Liu Hezi, Zheng Jinghe and Zhang Jue blurted out and said, "The Little Cavalry is here." Jie Jin rushed from Yangzhou and attacked the Jianghan Plain. After a little rest, he entered the eastern Sichuan area and swept across the country. The Mongolian army in the eastern Sichuan area could not resist it at all, and he was defeated by him.

His combat style is similar to that of Huo Qubing, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty. He is proficient in cavalry, good at raiding, and has no way of making a move, making it difficult to guess. The nickname of "Little Cavalry" is thus named.

Li Jun blurted out and shouted, "Xie Jin, it's you guy. Only you guy has the courage to ask me for tea." He stood up and looked at the former captain of the guard, who is now a famous general. He was very happy and handed the tea in his hand to Jie Jin and smiled and said, "Come on, this cup of tea will be given to you."

When Jie Jin was the captain of the guards, he had a very special relationship with Li Jun. The two of them were very happy to see each other.

"Your Majesty, I'm just talking." Jie Jin was a joke, but he didn't expect Li Jun to take it seriously and hand him his tea. He was very embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't dare to steal the emperor's tea even if I have the courage."

Li Jun patted the beloved general on the shoulder and smiled and said, "I didn't tell lies, you have to know that you don't joke." He said to Duan Ganmu, "Let me make another cup." He pulled Jie Jin and sat down, and said, "You guy came in time."

"It's still not as fast as the emperor." Jie Jin said hurriedly: "The emperor travels thousands of miles apart. I am a caterpillar, and he doesn't run fast as fast as the emperor."

This was a compliment, which caused a burst of laughter, making the already good atmosphere even more lively.

Li Jun immediately smiled and said, "I have come from Yangzhou to Chengdu. The journey is thousands of miles. You are such a caterpillar, and you have great skills."

Another chuckle sounded, and the icing effect on Li Jun's words played even more obvious.

While the king and his minister were joking, a literati walked in. Li Jun recognized him with sharp eyes and said, "Yizhong, you are not dealing with affairs in Chongqing, why are you here to Chengdu?"

This person was Chen Yizhong. He came to Sichuan with Li Jun. Li Jun left him in Chongqing to handle administrative affairs and went to Jiange himself. Unexpectedly, when the battle in Chengdu was launched, even he came to join in the fun.

The atmosphere in the room was very good, and Chen Yizhong felt very relaxed, and bowed to Li Jun and said, "I am Chen Yizhong, please see the emperor. Emperor, I came to Chengdu this time, first of all, because I think Chengdu is the best place to handle Sichuan affairs, and secondly, I want to witness the process of the imperial court's restoration of Chengdu with my own eyes."

From a geostrategic perspective, Chengdu is the center of Sichuan and the best place to handle Sichuan affairs. From Chengdu, you can go to Yunnan, from the north to Guanzhong, and from Chongqing to the east to Chongqing. The transportation is convenient and it is the real strategic center. Chen Yizhong's words are true.

After Mengge implemented the great detour strategy, Chengdu was destroyed by war many times. This pearl city of "the country of heaven" was tragically poisoned. If he could witness the liberation process of the imperial court with his own eyes, it would be a pleasure to comfort his life. This is the real reason why Chen Yizhong arrived.

Li Jun smiled and said, "Yizhong, you obviously want to come and ask me for a cup of tea, but you still find two beautiful reasons."

This is a joke, and Chen Yizhong didn't understand. He knew that Li Jun was in a very good mood today and said with a smile: "Emperor, then I will ask the emperor for a cup of tea."

"No problem." Li Jun said to Duan Ganmu: "Ganmu, let's have tea." He stretched his throat, like a tea doctor in a teahouse.

Duan Ganmu also came to make fun of it and said, "It's time to serve tea." He shouted, brought tea to Chen Yizhong, and retreated aside.

"Hangmu, hang the map." Li Jun took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "Wang King Zhou defeated Zhou, Mengjin met the princes, and eight hundred people came unexpectedly. Today, I will restore Chengdu today, and one literary and four martial people came unexpectedly, which is a grand event. Let's drink tea while discussing the strategies to attack Chengdu."

"Fengshui turns, thirty years from Hedong, thirty years from Hexi", this sentence is probably "tailored" for Shusuhuli. Think about how powerful it was when he followed Mongolia into Sichuan twenty years ago. The Mongolian army was as powerful as the Song army, and the passes and passes were either broken or surrendered. There were not many decent battles that could be called decent, such as the Battle of Kuzhu Pass, the Battle of Heishi Gorge, and the Battle of Chengdu. The Mongolian army won, and the Song army had no power to fight back.

Chengdu, the pearl city on the Chengdu plain, was even more devastated by the Mongols. The worst case was that the southwest city could not be better than its opponent.

If Meng Ge hadn't been lucky enough to die in Diaoyu City, he probably had realized the big roundabout strategy he had implemented.

Twenty years have passed, and the current situation has been reversed. He who besieged the Song army in the Chengdu Battle was in a mess and he couldn't help but send someone to deliver letters.

Things in the world are like clouds and smoke, and the past is all in front of him. Shu Su suddenly sighed to the sky: "The past is now, what is the past?" Although there are only four words, the depression in his heart has been well reflected.

The Mongolians now stayed in Sichuan mainly because of the team that attacked Sichuan during the Mengge period. The same army swept across western Sichuan twenty years ago, but twenty years later, it swept the Song army and retreated step by step. It was only after retreating to Chengdu, and the Song army arrived at the back, and no matter who it was, it would feel depressed.

Just as Shu Suhu was feeling emotion, the personal soldiers came over and said, "Sir, Jintang is lost."

"I know." Shu Suhuli waved his hand impatiently, and the personal soldiers who wanted to send bad news quickly walked away. The personal soldiers followed him for many years and knew that he was in a bad mood, so they would not get into his bad temper and quickly slip away.

As soon as the personal soldiers left, another personal soldiers came over and said, "Sir, Dayi has been lost."

Shu Suli was so depressed that he didn't even feel like talking. He just waved his hand and the personal soldiers understood what he meant and left quickly.

"The year is not good", Shu Suhuli thought of these four words in his mind. Jintang, Dayi is the periphery of Chengdu. If these two places are lost, it means that the Song army is about to reach the city of Chengdu, and then his doomsday has entered the countdown. Shu Suhuli is very clear that with his existing troops, it is almost impossible to break through the siege of the Song army.

Shu Suhuli's evaluation is extremely correct. He is really unfavorable. He just finished his thoughts and the third personal soldier came to report again, saying: "Sir, Guanghan is lost."

Shu Suli's face turned pale and he sat helplessly on the chair, without even the strength to wave his hand. This once made a surprise plan for Mengge, asking Mengge to ignore Diaoyucheng and go straight to Wanzhou. After the famous general who went east of Shunjiang to defeat him, he finally had no courage to face the reality.

From a historical perspective, no matter who it is, no matter how great his courage is, after a series of failures, his courage will become lower and lower, and in the end he will not even have the courage to resist. Many people believe that the real victory of this defeat in this defeat made the emperor lose the courage to resist.

Shusuhuli's performance today was similar to that of Napoleon. The fall of Chengdu's outer periphery had very serious consequences. His premonition was correct. At this moment, his personal captain came over and said, "Sir, the Southern Dynasties' army is calling for war under the city."

"Here, come, finally come." Shu Su kept shouting in his heart, and after a while, he said, "How many people are there?"

The captain of the personal soldiers thought for a while and said, "Sir, please say something. Now Chengdu has no news with the imperial court. The safety of tens of thousands of soldiers is borne by the adults alone. Please don't let the soldiers down." He was telling Shu Suhuli tactfully to cheer up and face reality, but he said it tactfully.

Shu Suhuli is a good famous general. The captain of his personal soldiers has followed him for many years and has learned a lot of things to wake him up at this critical moment.

"You make sense." Shu Su suddenly stood up and said, "The eagles on the grassland will always fly over the blue sky and will not be defeated by the chicks on the ground. How many of them are there?" He is also a good wise man. He woke up a little bit of his personal captain and immediately cheered up. However, can his cheering really stop the iron hoof of the Song army?

The captain of the personal soldiers was very happy to see the changes in Shu Suhuli and said, "There are many, from all directions." He paused and said, "Also, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty has also come, to the east."

"Good come." Shu Suhuli slapped his right hand on the table and said, "I'll go and meet him now. I heard that he has three heads and six arms and the ability to call the wind and rain. Let's go and see this magical figure."

Li Jun has not only established a godlike status in the minds of the Southern Song military and civilians, but also brags to the Mongols to be very magical, saying that he has three heads and six arms, and calling clouds and rain is no problem.

It is no wonder that in such a critical situation, Li Jun was able to turn the tide. If he was not a god, what else could it be? When Li Jun learned about this from the Mongolian prisoners, he laughed in his heart, "I am not a god, but I have mastered hundreds of years of civilizations. These civilizations surpassed the imagination of the ancients, so they made nonsense and started to blew them up. If I really had three heads and six arms, wouldn't I become Nezha?"

Shu Su suddenly came to Dongcheng and saw countless black people outside the city, with flags covering the sky, swords and guns radiating like forests, and their eyes shining under the sunlight, which was so terrifying. Everyone was extraordinary, and they were like tigers in the South Mountain, with a heavy and stable formation and unshakable.

"Okay." Shu Su suddenly sighed at the changes of the Song army from his heart, looked into the distance, and searched for Li Jun.
