Lizhou West Road, Mianzhou City, Lizhou West Road Rongsi Yamen.
In the lobby, Lu Wende, the governor of Lizhou West Road, was sitting in the main seat, looking carefully at the certificate of credentials in front of him.
In the hall below, Guo Zhengsun, the pacifying envoy of Lizhou West Road, and the generals of Lizhou West Road sat in rows.
On the chairs at the left end of the lobby, several Mongolian envoys looked gloomy, some were bald and had hanging hair, or some were Han Chinese with buns, and their faces varied.
Compared with the previous arrogance and bossiness when they entered the Song Dynasty, the Mongolian envoys were obviously more polite during this meeting.
The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Of course, they were just being polite, they were all forcing themselves to be patient.
For a long time, just when the Mongolian envoys were impatient and about to explode, Lu Wende put down his credentials.
"General, you have also read the credentials. Our Mongolian army wants to use the Song Dynasty. What do you think?"
The Mongolian ambassador Su Buhan was speaking, and his words were already a little hasty.
The Mongolian army divided its troops into three routes to attack Jin. Tuo Lei and Subutai led the West Route Army, which entered the Song Dynasty from Fengxiang Prefecture, passed through Hanzhong, went down the Han River, passed through Tang and Deng Prefectures in Jinjing, and met up with the Wo Kuotai Army next spring. , go straight to Bianjing.
If the Torei Army cannot penetrate behind the Jin Kingdom as scheduled, the Wokuotai Army may not be able to capture Kaifeng and destroy the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop.
"Your Majesty, I don't know much about reading. I can't understand what your letter means. Please tell me yourself."
Lu Wende put down the letter and asked casually.
In front of these Mongolian envoys, you have to be rude, the more rude the better.
"What the hell are you pretending to be? You can read for so long without knowing how to read. Are you kidding me?"
Sure enough, the other deputy envoy, Shuerche, was furious and slammed the table and angrily scolded Lu Wende.
The last time I went to Jinling City to see Emperor Song, I felt very angry. This time he was teased by a little Song general, and it was inevitable that he would become furious.
"Shu'erche, don't be impatient!"
Su Buhan glared at Shuerche with dissatisfaction and winked at the Han deputy envoy Li Changguo.
Li Changguo understood this and quickly bowed his hands and said to Lu Wende who was looking at Shu Erche coldly:
"General, we are just envoys, general, why are you teasing us. Mongolia and the Jin Dynasty have sworn enemies. To be honest, our army will take advantage of the Han River, pass through Yangzhou and Jinzhou, and penetrate directly into the back of the Jin Dynasty. Also, Please ask the Song Dynasty to provide food and grass and arrange guides."
As a Han Chinese, Li Changguo had already felt that the people in the Song Dynasty were not good. It seems that it is difficult for the Song Army to rely on coercion and intimidation to be effective.
"Borrowing the Han River to provide food and grass!"
Lu Wende's eyes, as well as those of Guo Zhengsun and others below, were secretly frightened.
Sure enough, just as the emperor had guessed, the Mongolian army was going to take advantage of Hanzhong to attack the Jin Kingdom.
First, they were frightened that the emperor was so unpredictable that he seemed to have no predictions. Second, it was certain that the Mongolian army would move south.
"Your envoy, your army is using the road. This matter is of great importance. We must report it to the court and wait for the emperor of the Song Dynasty to issue an edict."
Lu Wende didn't speak, and Guo Zhengsun spoke softly.
Song and Meng were enemies, and the relationship between the two countries was tense. At this time, they came to borrow the passage and provided food and grass. Where did the confidence come from?
"How long will it take to report to the Emperor of Song Dynasty? It won't take a few years, right? I can wait, but my Mongolian army can't wait!"
Shuerche couldn't help but speak.
Is it interesting to play people like monkeys?
"The Mongolian army can't wait any longer. You can go back! Don't we, the Song Dynasty, take advantage of the passage, so you have to force your way in?"
Shuerche was arrogant and domineering, and all the generals in the hall were furious. The deputy commander of the capital, Lu Yuanting, pointed at Shuerche and started to protest.
Intimidating and intimidating in front of all the generals of the Song Dynasty, they thought this was the Song Dynasty in the past, and anyone could act wild!
I really thought that the Song Dynasty was the back garden of Mongolia, where I could come and leave whenever I wanted.
"Your envoy, you won't be like what you did during the Dinghai period, while talking about peace, while secretly seizing the city and killing the people of the Song Dynasty, right?"
The commander-in-chief, Cao Erxiong, looked livid and started to sneer angrily.
The blood debt of tens of thousands of Song people during the Dinghai Incident is still fresh in our minds.
"What, what do you want? Do you want to kill me? Do you want to be the enemy of my Mongolian army?"
Shuerche smiled coldly and placed the knife on the handle.
Jinling City suffered humiliation in front of Zhao Hong, and he would never let it happen again.
"What did you say? Are you threatening me, Da Song?"
Lu Wende stopped the angry generals. He looked at Shuerche and asked coldly.
"General Song, please listen carefully. If you don't use the way, our army will forcefully clear the way. There will be countless casualties by then, but don't cry for father and mother!"
Shuerche was not afraid and fought against Lu Wende.
"General, don't get angry easily. It involves the friendship between the two countries. It's better to be cautious and wait for news from the court."
Guo Zhengsun persuaded Lu Wende softly, not knowing whether it was true or not.
"General, our Mongolian army is using the road to attack the Jin Dynasty, just to destroy the Jin Kingdom. The Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty are also feuding. Doesn't the Song Dynasty want to restore the Central Plains and wash away the shame of hundreds of years?"
Li Changguo said seriously, but calmly.
Guo Zhengsun's words inexplicably gave him confidence, thinking that the Song people might agree to give way.
"When the Lord of Jin moved to Bian, he relied on the dangers of the Yellow River and Tongguan. If he left Baoji and entered Hanzhong, he could reach Tang and Deng in less than a month. When the Jin people heard about it, they would rather not say that I followed the master of heaven!"
What Lu Wende, Guo Zhengsun and other Song generals didn't know was that the Mongolian army's proposal to use the Song Dynasty was proposed to Tuo Lei by Li Changguo, a surrendered general of the Jin Dynasty.
"Li Changguo, why are you telling them this? I don't care if they want to use the road or not! When my Mongolian army arrives, the people of Song Dynasty will bleed like rivers, and they can't blame anyone else!"
Shuerche said loudly, glaring at all the Song generals angrily.
Guo Zhengsun persuaded Lu Wende to be cautious, making him mistakenly believe that Song people were weak and could be bullied, and became even more arrogant.
"kill him!"
"Kill this thief!"
The generals roared and cursed loudly.
In the lobby, General Song spoke one after another, all of them filled with anger.
"Generals, please be patient and don't be impatient. The most important thing is the most important thing! The most important thing is the most important thing!"
Guo Zhengsun hurriedly persuaded the generals, looking very anxious.
"Several envoys, I have something to say. Please go back and bring it to Subotai and Torre."
Lu Wende's face was calm, and he waved his hand to stop the generals' noise.
"General, did you agree to borrow the passage?"
Li Changguo was startled, and a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.
Subhan and Shuerche also looked at Lu Wende, wanting to know Lu Wende's answer.
"Your Majesty, the matter of borrowing the passage is of great importance. We will always report it to the court and wait for the decree from the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Whether it is one year or two years, before receiving the decree from the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, your army will finally It's better to wait for the news and don't act rashly. If you dare to use force, you must not regret it in the future."
Lu Wende looked at Subotai and Li Changguo, and everyone in the hall could hear every word clearly.
Everyone is angry, but the military order is like a mountain, and no one can disobey it.
"You hateful Song generals, all of you are cowards! Just wait and see, my Mongolian army will definitely kill you until you are bleeding like a river, leaving no trace of chicken or dog alive!"
Shuerche was so angry that his saliva flew everywhere and he roared.
"General, kill him!"
"kill him!"
The generals spoke one after another, and some couldn't help but drew their swords out of their sheaths.
"What did you just say? Say it again!"
Lu Wende waved his hand to calm everyone down. He looked at Shuerche and sneered.
"General Song, listen carefully! Just wait and see, our Mongolian army will kill you until you are bleeding like a river, leaving no trace of chicken or dog alive!"
Shu'er's face was completely red and her ears were red, and her voice was hoarse.
These abominable Song people are all so sinister and weird. Do you really think you are afraid of them?
"Shu Erche, were you the one who was rude to me, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, at the Jinling Martial Arts Hall?"
Lu Wende leaned back in his chair, his eyebrows suddenly filled with murderous intent.
The news that Shuerche acted arrogantly against the emperor in the Jinling Martial Arts Hall spread to the army. All the generals were filled with hatred and regarded it as a great shame and humiliation. In the hearts of the generals, the emperor was more noble than a god, so how could he tolerate the slightest disrespect from others.
Unexpectedly, this guy came to Song Dynasty as an envoy again, and he was still so arrogant.
If you don't take the road to heaven, you will have no choice but to throw yourself into hell.
Lu Wende looked at Shuerche with a ferocious look in his eyes.
"It's me! It's me, Shuerche. What do you want to do? Come and kill me if you dare! Come on..."
"kill him!"
Before Shuerche finished speaking, Lu Wende slapped the table and became furious.
At this moment, his patience had reached its limit.
"General, you must not..."
"Please do not!"
Li Changguo and Su Buhan were both horrified and tried to dissuade them. Shuerche pulled out his sword with a clang and protected it in front of him.
He had already seen the killing intent in Lu Wende's eyes, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
Two warriors jumped out from the hall. They were tall and strong, with armor all over their bodies. They held red tassel spears in their hands. Without any hesitation, one on the left and one on the right, stabbed straight into Shuerche's throat and lower abdomen.
Hongying trembled, and the spear was steady and fierce, like a poisonous snake. Shu'erche was horrified. He subconsciously avoided the shot that pierced the throat, staggered back, but was hit in the abdomen. Immediately, there were bursts of severe pain, and blood surged like a fountain.
Under the severe pain, Shuerche couldn't help but scream loudly. Li Changguo and Su Buhan turned pale with horror and subconsciously ran away to avoid being accidentally killed by the other party.
Two Song Army spearmen advanced quickly and stabbed again. Shuerche screamed repeatedly and fell to the ground. There were several bloody holes in his body. Blood kept pouring out and soon dyed the ground red.
Lv Wende waved his hand gently, and the two spearmen withdrew their bloody spears and retreated to the corner respectfully.
Lu Wende looked at Shuerche who was twitching on the ground in the hall and snorted coldly.
"Two distinguished envoys, I'm sorry that something like this happened. Do you want to take his body back?"
After killing the Mongolian envoy, a war between the two sides was about to break out, and there was no longer the possibility of peace talks.
Let the storm come more violently!
"General, have you considered the consequences of killing my Mongolian envoy?"
Li Changguo and Su Buhan quickly regained their composure. They looked at each other and Li Changguo asked loudly.
When the two countries are at war, the envoys will not be killed. If the Song people did this, it would be impossible to take advantage of the road, and Tuo Lei would definitely be furious, and it would be inevitable to go south to attack the Song Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, this is just an accident, and I am very sorry for it. Regarding the matter of borrowing the passage, your Majesty should go back and wait for good news."
Lu Wende said softly, as if giving an order to expel the guests.
By now, he has lost interest in continuing to act.
"General, you have caused a big disaster and you must bear the consequences!"
Li Changguo left a message, and Su Buhan and others left without saying goodbye, even ignoring Shuerche's body.
"I don't seem to be scared. He asked me to kill him. Do I have to refuse?"
Lu Wende whispered, and all the generals in the hall burst into laughter.
These proud and powerful generals can't wait to fight each other on the battlefield.
"Brothers, the Tatar army is about to move south. Are you all ready?"
Lu Wende's face turned serious and he shouted loudly.
"It all depends on the general's orders!"
All the generals clasped their fists together and saluted.
"Wang Shixin, you have three thousand soldiers to guard Dasan Pass. If the Tatar army goes south, don't stop them. Let them in. When the time comes, there will be reinforcements from the army to block the Tatar army's retreat to the north!"
Lu Wende's first military order was first given to Wang Shixin, the guard of Dashan Pass.
"Tian Tun, abandon Huangniu Fort and withdraw to Fengzhou with 2,000 troops. The troops and 3,000 soldiers in Fengzhou are under the control of Lu Yuanting."
Once the Mongolian army moves south from Dashan Pass, the first dangerous pass is Huangniu Fort. However, Huangniu Fort is narrow, so it is better to concentrate on the more dangerous Fengzhou, which can better cope with the invasion of the Mongolian army.
Besides, we just want to let the Mongolian army in. Otherwise, how can we close the door and beat the dogs?
"Pan Fu, you guard Wuxiu Pass. The two thousand people from Xianren Pass will withdraw into Wuxiu Pass. Pan Fu will control them to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Wu Xiuguan is the same as Dashan Pass. One man is responsible for the pass and no one can open it. With four thousand elite soldiers guarding the area, the Mongolian army could only change its route and head south to Hanzhong.
"Cao Erxiong is guarding Xihe Prefecture, Zhang Du is guarding Chengzhou, and I am in charge of Mianzhou. When the time comes to fight outside the city, we must not let the Tatar army march eastward into Hanzhong!"
Lu Wende hesitated for a moment and finally said:
"Your Majesty has arrived in Hanzhong to take up command, aiming to boost morale and defeat the invading enemies. The soldiers are brave enough to take the lead, kill the enemies and serve the country. Live up to the divine grace!"
With the Mongolian army's character of seeking revenge, the war was about to break out. The emperor was moved out to motivate his subordinates and ensure the success of this war.
"General, Your Majesty's decree is to release the Tatar army into Hanzhong, please enter the urn. At that time, our army will go from the west, and Yu Jie's reinforcements will go from Wuxiuguan, and go south to Hanzhong in two directions. By concentrating the troops in this way, we can kill the Tatar army to a greater extent. They There is no way out.”
Lu Wende was eager to make great achievements, but he also wanted to mess around. Cao Erxiong quickly advised him.
In case of a sudden attack, the Mongolian army could retreat from various places on Lizhou West Road. The defenders of various military states along the way would be scattered, making it difficult to cause effective damage.
"On the battlefield, we adapted to the situation and destroyed the Tatars. It will not be too late to enter Hanzhong. I will report to your majesty first and see how your majesty decides."
The matter was so important that Lu Wende hesitated for a moment and finally did not dare to make his own decision.
Sniping at the Mongolian army on Lizhou West Road. If the enemy is alerted, it will be a waste of money.
As for the field battle with the Tatar army, with the Song army's strong soldiers and horses, he was not afraid at all.
