Chapter 1. Doubtful

"Khan, there is a happy event, the Southern Dynasty retreated!"

"The Southern Dynasty has withdrawn, this matter is serious?" Zhen Jin was so depressed by the wars these days, and he was unwilling to listen to the quarrels of the ministers. He drank and drowned his sorrows every day. Suddenly, he saw Yue Chi Cha'er hurriedly entering the hall and shouting, but when he was half drunk, he still heard what he said, and was shocked and asked anxiously.

"Take it seriously, this is the latest battle report sent by Xuzhou and Fu Li!" Seeing the situation of the Great Sweat, Yue Chi Cha'er answered and walked a few steps to the imperial court to present the battle report. He then hurriedly bent down and wiped the wine that had fallen on his body for the Great Sweat.

"Oh, the Southern Army attacking Xuzhou retreated at a speed of 50 miles a day, and had retreated a hundred and fifty miles, concentrating towards Xia Pi, as if there were signs of retreating to Huainan!" Zhen Jin launched a battle report and read it softly. Before he could take a closer look, he picked up another one with a look of ten lines and read it, "The Southern Army attacking Fu Li did not retreat. Could it be that they wanted to join forces to attack Fu Li?"

"Please look at the Khan!" Yue Chi Cha'er took the map on the case and quickly found Fu Li, "Khan, Fu Li is in the south and Xuzhou is in the north, and there are the same roads in the two places. If we retreat to the south of the Huai River at the same time, the enemy in Xuzhou will be cut off by our army. Therefore, although Fu Li's enemy troops temporarily remained unmoved, they also gathered to attack Linhuan and Qi County's troops on both sides of the canal. This move was intended to cover the enemy in Xuzhou to retreat south, and at the same time, they were ready to retreat from Fu Li at any time!"

"They secretly withdraw their troops. Will there be any fraud?" Zhen Jin suffered a great loss in several confrontations with the Southern Dynasty. He also deeply realized the cunning of the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty. His use of troops is often beyond common sense and makes people unable to understand his true purpose. Therefore, even if he learned the news of his withdrawal, he did not dare to believe it completely and asked in confusion.

"Khan, my subordinates think it is true. This news is confirmed by the burning of the supplies in the rear of the Southern Army at the time. It was because they lost food and grass that they were unable to use their troops for a long time, so they had to give up continuing the invasion of the north and retreated in a hurry!" Yue Chi Cha'er said. He knew that the infantry was only thirty miles a day, and that when they walked fifty miles a day, they could be called a marching urgently. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was hasty.

"The thief of the Southern Dynasty seems to have escaped!" The Southern Army was able to alternately cover the withdrawal of troops in an orderly manner when the food and grass were lost. Zhenjin thought that in addition to the well-trained and strict military discipline, someone would inevitably shock the entire army, and could obey the orders in the case of enemy troops in front and not have to flee first. And now, only the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty could not make the army dare not disobey. However, the lucky he had always been in his heart disappeared, and the degree of disappointment was even greater than the joy of knowing that the Southern Army retreated.

"The Khan clearly decided to break up, but this can also tell that the thief is still in the army. He escaped the previous time, but he may not be able to be spared every time!" Yue Chi Cha'er said.

"What is Tu Tuha's plan?" Zhen Jin certainly knew that the king of a country would be under heavy protection, and would not approach the front-line battlefield. He missed the opportunity last time, and he would have the luck to try to capture and kill again. He also put down this section and asked.

"Khan, Tu Tuha thought that the Song army retreated south to a good opportunity to break the enemy. As long as they defeated the enemy, they would be defeated. Our army only needs to chase and kill and recover the lost territory as soon as possible. Therefore, he suggested concentrating his troops to destroy the enemy in front of Fu Li, and then conquering Sizhou and Chuzhou, cutting off the retreat route of the Eastern Route Army, and annihilated them. In this way, the main force in Jiangdong in the Southern Dynasty was lost and no longer able to manage the two Huai Rivers, so that the enemy could be driven back to Jiangnan!" Yue Chi Cha'er reported.

"The intention is to transfer the troops from Xuzhou to the south, and attack the enemy in Fuli with two strokes, so that the enemy will advance north to the east of the Central Plains, and it is difficult for the two troops from the west to take care of each other. After breaking down the whole route, cut off the enemy's eastern route and retreating along the river to the east, and then encircle and annihilate them with the troops left behind in Xuzhou!" Zhen Jin looked at the map and thought for a while and said.

"The Khan is wise, and he can understand the arrangements of the earth and earth in his words!" Yue Chi Cha'er smiled and praised, "But the Khan still has to make a decision early. If the air is getting warmer today and the rain increases, our army is not tolerant of heat, and the mud after the rain is not conducive to the horse galloping. In addition, once the Southern Army retreats to Huainan, as long as we guard a few channels, our army will be unable to do anything. Instead, they can make a comeback after obtaining supplies and food. It is because they will be killed by the tiger but will be harmed by it!"

"Well, what you said is not without reason, but there is no conclusion on whether it is a war or a harmony between the court, and it is difficult for me to make a decision for a while!" Zhen Jin sighed.

"Khan, the situation is already very critical. At present, more than 200 warships of the Southern Dynasties' naval forces have gathered on the sea of ​​Qingzhou. They have bombarded the coastal fortresses many times and tried to land at Gukou. Although the grassland army returning to Qingzhou has arrived in Qingzhou, they are not familiar with water wars and can only defend passively. But the enemy's navy is the place where the capital is stored, which can store grain for two years. Once it is captured, the whole court can only go north to hunt for food. Only by defeating the current enemy, the enemy's navy has no land support, and they can only return without success. Even if they land without assistance, they will find it difficult to gain a foothold!" Yue Chi Cha'er said.

"In this case, if there is peace, the Southern Dynasties will inevitably open their mouths and blackmail our dynasty. It will damage the Khan's reputation and make the sects laugh at them. In the future, they will become more arrogant and disobey the imperial orders. If the enemy is defeated and the situation is reversed, our dynasty can make them pay tribute and pay tribute. Such a Khan will become famous at home and abroad, and all the foreigners in the world will surrender!"

"This... if this is defeated, we will withdraw from the Central Plains!" Zhen Jin knew the current situation very well, but this also made him hesitant. As An Tong said, there would still be hope for a comeback at this time; and if it is defeated, it will be a place of doom.

"Khan, it is hard to find a fighter opportunity. We should make a decision immediately and never be indecisive!" Yue Chichaer saw that although Khan was moved by his words, he still hesitated and spoke again, "Khan has doubts and cannot expect peace. A covenant cannot restrain an ambitious wolf cub. He must be beaten to make him afraid to challenge us Mongolian warriors again!"

"Rareless!" Zhen Jin was a little annoyed when he heard this and scolded him sternly.

"Shanks, my subordinates are all thinking about sweating. All of them are heartfelt words, and they are definitely not intentional collisions." Yue Chicha'er crawled on the ground and choked up and said.

"Get up!" Zhen Jin stared at Yue Chi Cha'er who was lying on the ground. He had not spoken for a long time. He had read poetry and had experienced the establishment of the Mongol Yuan. Naturally, he knew that no matter what ancient and modern times, the bloody lessons told him that peace did not require the guarantee of treaty, but needed the endorsement of powerful strength. At that time, the tribes on the grassland often swear blood to be alliances, but who had truly abide by it was just a trick of powerful devouring the weak. When the Yuan Dynasty had the strength to destroy the Southern Dynasties, what was the use of signing many covenants; and if the Southern Dynasties had the strength to defend Jiangnan, there was no need for any covenant constraints at all.

"Shan..." Yue Chi Cha'er raised her head and saw Zhen Jin's face with a determined look. She knew that she had made up her mind, but she didn't know whether it was a war or a peace. He said sadly.

"I have decided to order Tutuha to lead the troops to Fuli, and to mobilize the Right Semuwei to reinforce his troops, defeat the current enemy, and relieve the danger of our capital. I ordered Tiemaichi to stay in Xuzhou, looking for fighter jets to chase and annihilate the retreating enemy in Huainan..." Zhenjin wrote the oral order, pondered for a moment and said, "Daluhachi He Weixian rushed to the rear camp of the Southern Army, burned all the enemy's food and grass, and injured the enemy's chief. He made a special contribution. He was awarded the Double Pearl Golden Tiger Talisman, and promoted the third-rank Shizhong Duke to participate in the military. Let him be cautious in using troops, do not be greedy for merit and advance to be taken advantage of by the enemy!"

"Khan, I am willing to go and pass an order in person to lead the army to defeat the enemy and capture and kill the fake emperor of the Southern Dynasty!" After hearing this, Yue Chi Cha'er politely said again.

"You should stay in the middle of the capital. The current situation is critical. It is the time to use people. I cannot have a person who is in charge of myself around me!" Zhen Jin raised his hand and asked him to stand up and say.

"Yes, I'm sending people here to pass on the imperial edict overnight to relieve the worries of the great khan!" Yue Chi Cha'er hurriedly went down the palace after giving a gift.

"Summon Pingzhang and Zuo Xiang to the palace to discuss matters!" Zhen Jin saw Yue Chi Cha'er away, and he called an eunuch to order. After some struggle, although he had already decided to fight, he still couldn't calm down. Thinking about it, he still had to do a good job of the aftermath.

After all, the Dayuan and Southern Dynasties were no longer the same as before. The Dasong occupied the most prosperous land in Jiangnan and had a population of tens of millions. Even if they were defeated, they could not hurt their roots. They could quickly recover their vitality and reorganize their troops to fight again. The Dayuan had already become divided and internal disputes continued. After years of war and chaos in the Central Plains, the population losses were severe and they had not recovered so far. Although agriculture has recovered, the Yellow River has flooded year after year, and famines have occurred frequently, and the food produced is difficult to support all the population. Once defeated, the roots are damaged, so he must be prepared for both hands and make sure that everything is done...

"Your Majesty, Zhao Jie sent an envoy to ask, our army had retreated a hundred and fifty miles and did not find that the enemy was pursuing the pursuit. Should we continue to retreat!" Tan Fei walked to His Majesty who was looking at the sand table and said in the foreword.

"Retreat, retreat another fifty miles, I don't believe that they won't take the bait!" Zhao Bing pointed on the sand table.

"Your Majesty, if you retreat again and again, you will inevitably have a low morale and unstable morale!" Tan Fei said.

"No, let the ministries know that our retreat is for tomorrow's counterattack!" Zhao Bing smiled, "Oh, you can pretend to be dejected and retreat in a hurry, and finally throw down some tents, big cars, etc. along the way, don't even look arrogant!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tan Fei smiled.
