Chapter 216: Nowhere to escape

"Damn it, Guo Kan actually ran away for him." Gundam said unanimously: "This dog traitor is too cunning. We surrounded him so tightly, and he escaped. I am really a little dissatisfied."

Du Dayong comforted him with a smile and said, "General Gao doesn't have to take it seriously. This time he is not fleeing north, but fleeing south. Needless to say, it is because we blocked the north road tightly. He is hard to fly. If he flees south, it will be even more impossible for him to escape. As for a person like him, it is not difficult to escape from our encirclement. After all, he is Guo Kan, and his talent is as talented as a sea, and his soldiers can handle it."

This is a big truth. People like Guo Kan have a thousand wise tricks, so ordinary soldiers can deal with it.

Speaking of Guo Kan's escape this time, it's a bit hard to say. He was going to commit suicide, but he took the sword to his personal soldiers. Guo Kan is very popular with the soldiers, and his personal soldiers are no exception. He is devoted to him, and of course he won't watch him commit suicide in front of him and want to save him.

This time, Guo Kan's suicide was not fake, but very determined. His personal soldiers followed him for a long time, understood his thoughts, and took it seriously. He had no chance to commit suicide. Perhaps, this was the retribution for him, and he had no way to die!

The captain of the personal soldiers asked the personal soldiers to take Guo Kan and find the right opportunity to sneak out. They originally wanted to learn from the defeat of Jiangnan and returned north, but the Southern Song Dynasty's investigation was very strict and there was no chance at all.

Besides, it was a thousand miles away from Bianjing, and now it was almost under the control of the Song army. If you go north, it would be a problem whether you can reach Bianjing. The captain of the personal soldiers was also an idea. After a little thought, he decided to flee south and towards Xiangfan, because relatively speaking, there were fewer Song troops here and there, and the chance of escaping was much greater.

Another reason why I chose to escape to Xiangfan is that many defeated soldiers also escape in this direction, and they can escape along the way to deal with the defeated generals. It is too early to say whether they can make a comeback and win a battle. At least one thing is clear, that is, they can protect Guo Kan's life for the time being.

After hearing Du Dayong's words, Gundam nodded and said, "Guo Kan is so angry that he is so angry that he has to admit that he is really an amazing talent, but he is not used by the court and is willing to be owned by foreign races. It's a pity." The next words were different. After a change of the tone, he said, "That's right, this time, you can't let the dog traitor escape, otherwise you won't know what kind of trouble the court will cause. General Zhang and General Du, let me chase me. I dare not say anything else. What I dare say is: If I don't catch Guo Kan's dog traitor, I will come to see you."

"Chasing Guo Kan is indeed one of the most important matters in front of us, and this matter should be carried out. Guo Kan escaped towards Xiangfan, proving that he had no way to escape. With General Gao taking action, this matter will naturally be perfect." Zhang Shijie nodded and agreed, "However, we will march towards Bianjing soon, meet in Bianjing, and restore Bianjing. This is a grand event in the court. General Gao was the public for his whole life and was determined to restore the great cause. It is a great regret in life. In my opinion, I will go for the pursuit. General Gao and General Du led their troops to Bianjing."

Gundam said very emotionally: "I have been trying to restore the mountains and rivers in my life. Now that the great cause has been completed, my heart has been comforted. Participating in the liberation of Bianjing is of great glory, but pursuing Guo Kan is more important, so I should go."

"I admire General Gao's broad mind!" Du Dayong and Zhang Shijie said in unison.

Zhang Shijie said: "Since this is the case, then General Gao will be responsible for this matter."

Du Dayong analyzed: "We have three main tasks now: one is to pursue Guo Kan, a traitor, and completely eliminate the remaining defeated soldiers who fled to Xiangfan. The second is to march towards Bianjing, meet with the other two groups of troops to prepare to restore Bianjing. The third is to appease the people immediately. How to deal with this matter is still necessary to ask the emperor for instructions."

Large-scale wars like this have a very great impact, and many ordinary people are displaced and fled from their homes. It is necessary to take measures to get them back to their homes.

It is true that "heroes see the same thing", but it is true. Du Dayong and Qing Fengzi's views are so close, which is really amazing.

Zhang Shijie agreed with Du Dayong's view very much and said: "While we are offering the list to abide by the people, we select a group of kind elders to manage them, and then wait for the imperial court to send people to take over."

"It's so good." Du Dayong agreed very much and said, "We can go to Bianjing. I hope our legs will not be too short and we can catch up with this feast." He meant that the other two routes set out first than them, and their actions will be faster so that they will not fall behind.

"Master, did Hulagu escape?" Euro Junxing said anxiously: "We have been waiting for him for a few days, but there is no trace. I guess he is afraid of eating it for us and running away."

Li Jun looked at the map and did not answer the words of the European Army. The European Army was extremely anxious and complained: "Emperor, what time has it been? You are still looking at the map. Your Majesty, you can give me a word at least."

Retracting his gaze from the map, Li Jun smiled and said, "Don't be anxious."

"It's not too urgent, I'm so anxious. If Hulagu escapes, the Tartars, it will be a big problem." European Junxing thought to himself. He knew that Li Jun said this, and he must have had a brilliant plan, and listened to Li Jun's strange plan.

However, Li Jun's words broke the hope of the European military campaign. Li Jun said: "You said, who is more cunning than the fox and Xulagu?" Li Jun was really right. At this time, he was still in the mood to discuss this issue. He really deserves to be a scholar and is very interested.

After hearing this, Ou Junxing almost fainted on the ground without thinking, saying, "How can you compare this with this?"

Li Jun blurted out without thinking and said, "Why can't you compare?"

"If you really compare, Hulagu is naturally more cunning and much more cunning." Under Li Jun's insistence, the European Army had to give a conclusion and said: "But, Master, what does this have to do with the situation we are facing now?"

Li Jun smiled and said, "It's a big deal. Hulagu crossed the Yellow River, which is a miracle in itself, and it can be called a big deal. The court has such a strong navy, but he can't play it out with the simplest method. However, his actions after he arrived in the Central Plains were not satisfied. It can be said that he was at a loss. He took action before his army gathered. This was of course because of the critical situation at that time, and he had to do it."

"Yes, if Hulagu gathered his 300,000 troops and pressed him in one direction, the number of victory and defeat would be difficult to say. Especially when he pressed to the eastern front, if the Three Guards Imperial Guards and the Qiexue Corps were rescued, even if the court won in the other two directions, the battle would still be fought." The European Army agreed with Li Jun's analysis very much.

Li Jun continued, "But, he did not act like this. This is because Kublai Khan was too eager to rescue the Three Guards and the Qiexue Corps. Hulagu had to lead a few troops to rush to the Eastern Front. When he found danger, he realized that with the little power at hand, he could not resolve the siege of the Eastern Front at all, and had to find another way to solve the siege of Guo Kan. However, when he arrived here, he discovered another problem. Although he had collected some of the troops, it was not the only one his current army could deal with if he wanted to take action on the Southern Front. In this case, what would you do?" He asked as he looked at the European Army.

"Then you have to think about it. Of course, you will lead the army to fight a war. At least you will save some things. It is better than doing nothing." Euro Junxing blurted out without thinking, and shook his head as soon as he said, "No. This is my idea, not the idea of ​​the Tartars of Hulagu Army. He would not fight this battle. Because this is his army. If he fights, the losses will be heavy. Only when his army arrives and concentrates on fighting with all his strength is still a battle of victory."

Li Jun praised it very much and encouraged: "I said it well, let's continue."

"I'm selfish!" Euro Junxing slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, saying, "Hulagu is selfish. His actions in the Central Plains are not all for Kublai Khan. He is preserving his strength and does not want to wipe out his army too early. What does he want to do? He wants to rebel? He wants to be a Khan?"

Li Jun rejected the speculation of the European military tour and said, "It's right for Hulagu to have selfishness. He doesn't want to rebel, he wants to preserve his strength. No matter what, he can come to the Central Plains from the Middle East. This friendship is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. It's not too much to praise it. This army is his old capital, and he will not easily enter the battlefield. The reason why he decided so was because if this army loses, his power in the Middle East will be a little difficult to say."

"Emperor's wise!" The European Army agreed very much, saying: "If Hulagu had no army, his position in the Middle East would be very dangerous, especially after he knew that Baibar was in the Central Plains, he would be even more careful and could not lose his army. At that time, if Baibar restored his country with the support of the court, he would be unable to deal with it without the army. The emperor wanted Baibar to fight Hulagu, because it was to make Hulagu unable to do his best to rescue Kublai Khan."

Li Jun smiled and said, "I have this kind of thought. Although Baibar is the king of the fallen country and is in exile, he is a sultan after all, and he still has a strong appeal in the Islamic world. If he returns to the Middle East under the sturdy court and calls for a high place, Islamic believers will rush to it and his strength will increase greatly. Hulagu understands this more than anyone else, and he dares not have selfish intentions."

"So, Hulagu should have devoted himself to the Eastern Front, but he had to change his decision because of Baibar's appearance. When he arrived at the Southern Front, he realized that the court had made his pockets and was waiting for him. He did not dare to get into it anymore. He slipped away from the gap before our army met." The European Army was excited to say what Li Jun didn't say, saying: "It seems reasonable for him to move so constantly, but it is not reasonable at all. He missed the opportunity to rescue the Tartar army. I think he regretted it now. If he had known that there was no place to be resolved, it would be better to concentrate on fighting a war."

Li Jun was very considerate of Xulagu's suffering and said, "He also has his own difficulties, so he has to do it."

"Your Majesty, you are so kind." Ou Junxing held back his laughter and said, "I think the most important thing for Hulagu now is to gather his army and join him. The emperor, let me pursue him, and not let him gather his army."

The strength is weak, and the army is strong. This is common sense in military affairs. Anyone with a little military knowledge wants it. Hulagu can only concentrate his army now. In that case, his strength will be stronger and will not be easily defeated by the Southern Song Dynasty. The idea of ​​the European military journey is absolutely correct.

However, Li Jun rejected his idea and said, "In this case, we are not chasing him, but letting him collect his army. This is the best way."

"Your Majesty, why is this?" The European military campaign is a little unreasonable. Li Jun's decision is exactly the opposite of military strategy. Not to mention whether the European military campaign is unreasonable, even if you change someone, you may not understand the truth.

Li Jun said leisurely: "In one sentence: I will do my best in one battle!"

Euro Junxing knocked his forehead and said, "Yes. If we go after us, Hulagu's army will chase us into pieces and everywhere. It is easy to defeat it, but it will be difficult to wipe out it completely. It will take a lot of effort. Let Hulagu concentrate, and the problem will be different. The court is now in three directions. We can mobilize the army to surround him and gather and annihilate him. Besides, no matter how powerful Hulagu's army is, can we still be more powerful than our artillery? At that time, we will set up artillery and bombard him hard, and even if he is guaranteed, he will not be able to escape." He sighed, "The emperor is really unexpected in his use of troops. I am very impressed by the way!"

He paused and asked, "Prince, where are we going to deal with Hulagu?"

This is a key issue. If Hulagu collects the army, his strength will become stronger and his ability to harm will be stronger. Finding a good battlefield to deal with him will become the most important issue.

"Although the Central Plains is large, there is no place to hide." Li Jun looked at the map and said, "He can only go to one place now: Bianjing!" He pressed his right hand on the map.

The European Army was a good general, and he said happily: "Yes, Hulagu must have gone to Bianjing. He wanted to join forces with Kublai Khan, relying on Bianjing as a support to fight the imperial court." He immediately suggested, saying: "Master, we should take measures to send troops to intercept them, and we cannot let them meet."

"This is inevitable." Li Jun nodded in agreement: "I have ordered Zhao Liangchun's troops to move here and intercept Hulagu here."

"Zhuxian Town!" The European Army said excitedly: "Wu Mu defeated Wushu here, and the court also defeated Xulawu here, and reenacted the grand scene a hundred years ago."

Yue Fei defeated Jin Wushu in Zhuxian Town, which created a great anti-Jin situation. Jin Wushu was so scared that he withdrew from Bianjing. As soon as Yue Fei marched, he would flee immediately.

As we all know, Yue Fei's twelve gold medals are caused by the twelve gold medals. If we infer from this, it would be a big mistake if we think so. What prevented Jin Wushu from twelve gold medals are not Zhao Gou's twelve gold medals, nor is it the reason why Yue Fei's twelve gold medals are caused by Yue Fei's twelve gold medals, but a scholar.

When the scholar saw Jin Wushu, he said that you don’t have to escape, Yue Fei will be finished soon. Jin Wushu was very strange. He said that Yue Fei had won such a big victory and was about to recover Bianjing. How could he be finished? The scholar explained to him that it was because Yue Fei had won this big victory and created a great situation that he would be finished. The reason was no other reason, because Zhao Gou did not allow him to make too much contribution. Besides, Yue Fei was too upright, a genius in military affairs and a mediocre politically, and the powerful ministers in the court would not support him.

After hearing this, Jin Wushu was half-believing and half-doubted, and decided to stop and see the wind before talking. As the scholar expected, Yue Fei was forced to do so soon.

Yue Fei's mission has become a thousand-year pain in China. Theoretically, people have made a conclusion. From a practical point of view, it is Yue Fei's own reason. He forgot a sentence, "There are people in the court who are easy to do things." If he had a little smoother handling and had won the support of a few powerful ministers, the tragedy might not have happened.

"Zhuxian Town is located fifty miles south of Bianjing. It is the throat of Bianjing and the southern gate. Its geographical location is very important. As long as you control it, Kublai Khan's army cannot go south, and Hulagu's army cannot go north. The Mongolian army will cut us into two sections." Li Jun pointed to the map and analyzed.

The European military tour showed good military qualities and analyzed: "The court can cast a big net and encircle it from the southwest. To the west, Zhang Jue can be ordered to change the direction and squeeze from the west, so that Hulagu cannot jump west. To the south, Zhang Shijie will follow up and force Hulagu to go north. To the east, there are ministers and General Zhao Qian, so I wish Hulagu would not dare to come. As long as the court closes in Zhuxian Town, Hulagu will have nowhere to escape!"

"In order to attract Hulagu to the north, we have to make a bait," Li Jun added.

European Junxing asked: "Prince, what is the best bait?"

Li Jun didn't say anything, knocked on the map and said, "Just it."

Euro Junxing almost screamed and said, "That's great, this bait is really great. Even if Hulagu knew it was a plan, he would have to be fooled." He said in admiration: "The emperor uses a plan, not to be afraid of the enemy's ability to see through it, because it is the key to the enemy. Even if he sees it through, he will have to be fooled! If he uses a plan, it is already the realm of heaven and man!"

"Stop flattering." Li Jun smiled and said, "General Ou, what do you think Kublai Khan is doing now?"

It is difficult to guess the thoughts of others, not to mention that it is a person like Kublai Khan. It is even more difficult to guess his thoughts. Euro Junxing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know."
