Chapter 238: Restoring the Capital

"Come on, I'll give me another lamb leg." Brother Beer had a great appetite and pointed at the whole lamb that had only half left for him, and kept saying, "I ate this meal very well today. It's not that one, it's the big one, yes, it's the big one."

The generals stood aside and looked at Brother Beer in surprise, who was more edible than a pig. The general Prith asked tentatively: "Khan, is there any good news?"

"You Prith, your nose is more flexible than the hound on the grassland." Brother Beer said while stuffing something into his mouth: "We have all fulfilled our requirements, not a single one." He swallowed the mutton in one mouthful and said: "You guys, will Ben Khan be in a bad mood? Will my appetite be bad?"

In order to obtain Pris' support, Kublai Khan spared no effort to meet all the requirements of Brother Beer. Making a request at this time is tantamount to threatening and taking advantage of the situation. After weighing the pros and cons, Kublai Khan still endured it.

Brother Bier made a lot of requests. The beauties of gold, silver, silk and silk are naturally no problem. Kublai Khan agreed to him that the grassland in the north that he had long been coveted. When the generals heard this, they were all excited and said, "Khan's magic tricks."

Wipe your hands clean, Brother Bier stood up and said, "Send the order and move forward with all your strength. Even if you run and break your legs, you have to rush to Dadu." He added, "There are many good things in Dadu. Kublai Khan only gives us a little bit. We should pick up the good things ourselves."

Priss came over and said, "Khan, Kublai Khan has no army anymore. We can dominate many things. Why should Khan listen to other people's orders? Why don't you call him Tian Khan yourself?"

This is to encourage Brother Beer to launch a coup. Don’t say it out loud, just think that it’s all a crime of beheading. Brother Beer glared and said, “What do you know? Don’t talk nonsense here.” He paused and said, “When you arrive in Dadu, everything will be clear. Remember, prepare me.”

Everyone was willing to say, "Abide by the order."

"It's so great." Zhao Liangchun smashed the battle report on the table, almost singing it out, saying, "This little cavalry is so brave that he actually wiped out Timuer's army. Even the Sang Ge army transferred to the eastern line did not let go. Oh my god, he really has a bear heart and a leopard courage."

Jie Jin dared to divide his troops in the depths of Mongolia. Although there were two favorable factors analyzed by Gundam, he still did not dare to divide his troops without enough courage, because after all, it was in the depths of Mongolia. It has always been a taboo for military strategists. If others were in his situation, they would not dare to divide the troops. Zhao Liangchun, a good general, knew the secrets and had to admire Jie Jin's courage.

The generals were both happy and shocked when the generals were surprised by the annihilation of Timuer, and said, "General, what did you say? Timuer's entire army was wiped out?"

"Your ears are fine, right? I'm saying it clearly." Zhao Liangchun pointed to the battle report and said, "This is a battle report written by the little cavalry himself. Can it be fake?"

Logically, the generals should be happy after the Song army won such a big victory. However, their next words were unexpected. They sighed and said, "What a pity, it's a pity."

Zhao Liangchun, who has always been sensible, was confused by the sighs that they gave them, and asked, "Why are you sighing?"

"General, think about it. We rushed to Dadu, which gave Kublai Khan the illusion that a large army was in an uproar. He was waiting to deal with Brother Sang's army. Unexpectedly, General Jie had a very big appetite and actually ate him in one bite. We were not working in vain?" The generals sighed and explained to Zhao Liangchun.

Zhao Liangchun suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that it is for this matter. I tell you, don't let me be sad, isn't it just that I didn't fight? I have a good idea, do you dare to do it?"

"General, tell me quickly, don't swear." The generals urged Zhao Liangchun.

Zhao Liangchun was very satisfied with the performance of the generals and said, "If you have this idea, then I will tell you straight. I plan to give up the feint, change the real movement, and go directly to Dadu. Temuer was annihilated, Babur was defeated on the Western Front, and Kublai Khan no longer had the power to use. Now, most of them are almost an empty city. As soon as we arrive, we will see the wind down."

"Okay, great." The generals applauded in unison.

The capture of the capital has two meanings. First, since Shi Jingtang stolen the country, most of them have been in the hands of foreign races and have not been taken back for more than 300 years. If they captured the capital, it can be said to be of great historical significance and no matter how much praise it is, it is not an exaggeration to praise it. Second, most of them are Kublai Khan's capital. Once it falls, it is equivalent to declaring the end of Kublai Khan's rule, which means that the history of the Mongols' rule of the Central Plains has been completely over.

Who doesn’t want to capture such a very meaningful strategic goal as Xiangmao? The generals were enthusiastic and said, “General, please issue the order.”

An Shunyi hesitated for a moment and reminded Zhao Liangchun, saying, "General, there is a saying in the last general, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Zhao Liangchun smiled and said, "You said."

An Shunyi obeyed the order and said, "General, the emperor clearly ordered us to act. If we attack Dadu, it would be against the emperor's will."

Before Zhao Liangchun could react, the generals had already expressed their objections and said, "We can't watch most of them right in front of us. As long as we arrive, we can take it down, and we will not do anything, right?"

Waving his hand to stop the generals from talking further, Zhao Liangchun said: "It's great that you can always think of the emperor's will. I'm very happy. If the emperor knows, he will be happy. When he goes to war, the emperor grants us generals the power to make decisions on the spot and can take appropriate measures according to the situation of the war. Taking down Dadu is a good opportunity to give Kublai Khan the last blow. I think the emperor will not only not blame us if he knows, but also be happy."

"Yes!" He meant to fight, and he was in line with the generals' wishes, and he all shouted in unison.

An Shunyi also wanted to fight, but he was just thinking about Li Jun's emperor's order. With Zhao Liangchun's words, An Shunyi was relieved and said, "General, the last general is too worried."

Zhao Liangchun smiled and comforted him, "A general who can remember the emperor's orders must be a good general, you don't have to take it to your heart. Why are you still standing there? Let's go quickly! Don't want to go to Dadu?"

When the generals heard this, they jumped up and ran away, and even forgot to salute him. Looking at the backs of the generals, Zhao Liangchun realized that there was a saying that had forgotten to remind them, saying: "We must strictly abide by military discipline and not do anything randomly."

"Look, what is that?" The soldiers guarding the city of Dadu asked in surprise as they looked at the rolling smoke and dust.

Another Mongolian soldier set up a haystack in his hand, looked carefully for a while, shouted in fear, and said, "That is the army of the Southern Dynasty. Oh my God, how many people are there with such a large amount of smoke and dust, so many flags?"

Most of the city was almost empty, and they were startled overnight. The Mongolian soldiers guarding the city were no longer able to defend. When they saw the Song army's flag, they had no intention of staying here to die. They let out a sound, threw away their weapons and applied oil on their feet.

Zhao Liangchun and his friends rushed to the city gate, but they saw that the city gate was wide open and empty, which was exactly the opposite of the scene when he arrived in Dadu last time. It was less than a year later, and there was such a difference. Zhao Liangchun said he didn't believe anything and looked straight at the city gate. It was not until the soldiers shouted and rushed into the city like a storm that they woke him up and said to An Shunyi beside him: "If I had known that the Tartars were so bad, why would we have to make so many branches and so many flags? Isn't this a waste of effort?"

The land of Yanyun is very cold, which is common sense. However, the weather this year is different from previous years, and it is very warm, and it is not frozen in the middle of the winter. The north is dry and the dust is loose. In order to confuse the Mongolian army, Zhao Liangchun specially transferred some people to cut off branches, tied them to the horse's tail, and ran back and forth, causing smoke and dust to cover the sun. The Mongolian soldiers guarding the city did not know the truth, and they really thought that the Southern Song army was approaching. They were afraid that they would dare to defend the city, and they had already escaped.

"General, hurry up and arrest Kublai Khan." An Shunyi reminded Zhao Liangchun.

Last time, Zhao Qian and Kublai Khan met each other, but in the end they didn't catch him. It was a pity that they revisited the old place and recalled the old things. Zhao Liangchun said: "If you pass the order, you must capture Kublai Khan alive." He slapped his horse and rushed towards the city gate.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. The Southern Dynasties army has entered the city and is coming towards the palace." The captain of the guard rushed in and shouted at Kublai Khan who was working at the desk.

Kublai Khan raised his head and said, "What are you yelling? The sky is falling?"

"Your Majesty, it's even worse than the sky falling." The captain of the guard said without caring about etiquette: "Your Majesty, you don't know yet. The Southern Dynasty army is almost at the imperial city."

Kublai Khan didn't know that the army in Dadu had almost escaped. He thought that even if the Song army arrived, at least there would be a battle. In any case, he would always do small things like sending him some news. He didn't believe the words of the captain of the guards. He glared and said, "You are talking nonsense. How could there be no news for such a big thing?"

"Old Master, all our soldiers have escaped." The captain of the guard reported to Kublai Khan in embarrassment, saying: "Before the Southern Dynasties' troops arrived at the city, they left their weapons and fled. If I hadn't been doing things outside and saw the soldiers running away in all directions, the Southern Dynasties rushed to the palace, you might not have known it."

This is not a show of merit, but a truth in an impatient manner.

Kublai Khan had fought countless wars throughout his life, and he had encountered the fact that he had fled at the sight of the wind, but he left such unlucky things to his opponent, not his opponent, and asked him to believe that his army would flee in the sight of the wind. He was really unbelievable, and he looked straight at the captain of the guards, trying to read from his eyes that "this is not true."

However, the fact is true. The look of the guard captain was so desperate, which showed everything. Kublai Khan had to accept this cruel reality, moaned silently, fell on the throne, and closed his eyes weakly.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" asked the captain of the guard urgently.

Kublai Khan said powerlessly: "You go and run for your life."

"No, the emperor treats me as much as a mountain, and I will never leave the emperor even if I die." The captain of the guard knelt down for Kublai Khan and said, "Emperor, most of us can't defend it anymore. We still have the grasslands, and we can return to the grasslands to recuperate. Your Majesty, you must not be decadent, you must cheer up. Your Majesty, you have experienced so many strong winds and waves in your life. Could this small setback knock you down? Can't get up?"

Kublai Khan's eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were filled with light. The lifelong belief of a person like him was finally summed up in four words: "Never give in." The crying of the captain of the guard accidentally touched his belief, and he couldn't help but become heroic. The former wise king suddenly came back.

The captain of the guard also felt the changes in Kublai Khan and was about to say a few compliments, but unfortunately he had not yet spoken. Kublai Khan's heroism was just a flash in the pan and became extremely decadent. He sighed and said, "One time, another time, now we can't go anywhere. So what if we retreat to the prairie? Zhao Qi will never give me a chance to breathe, and the army of the Southern Dynasties will follow us soon."

"No, no." said the captain of the guard: "Master, the prairie is a natural danger. Only our Mongolian athletes can come and go freely. If the people of the Southern Dynasty dare to come, they must ask them to come in and go out in life."

Kublai Khan closed his eyes, shook his head slowly, and said, "You are wrong. The prairie is a natural danger, which is what ordinary people say. For extraordinary people, it is like a smooth road. Zhao Qi is an extraordinary person. Even if the prairie is ten times more difficult, it will not be difficult for him. You have also read "Records of the Grand Historian", have you forgotten how Emperor Wu of Han's army crossed the desert and swept the royal court of the Huns? The prairie is the desert that was back then. A thousand years ago, the Han people crossed the desert. Can't they still cross it?"

"Your Majesty, you have to find a place to hide." The guard captain was exhausted and said in a panic: "Even ants are greedy for life, the emperor can't sit here and wait for the people of the Southern Dynasty to capture them alive, right?" After he said that, he realized that he was very disrespectful to Kublai Khan, so he quickly apologized and said: "Your Majesty, I deserve to die!"

In this regard, Kublai Khan had no intention of paying attention to these trivial matters and waved his hand and said, "You go."

The captain of the guard said very decisively: "Your Majesty, if you want to die, I will die with you!"

"Emperor, the horse's strength is known from afar, and people's hearts are seen over time. Even a slave is so loyal, why should the emperor worry about not being able to make a comeback?" A crisp and beautiful voice sounded, and it was Empress Chabi who came slowly.

Kublai Khan opened his eyes, looked at Empress Chabi, and said, "Empress, I am sorry to my ancestors, I am sorry to you. Brother Khan handed over a great country to me, but I am defeated like this. How can I see my ancestors and ancestors underground?" After speaking, tears were heard.

Since Mengge died in Diaoyu City in battle, Kublai Khan ascended the throne of Khan, worked hard to govern the army, and attacked everywhere. His territory expanded rapidly, his population increased rapidly, and his national strength increased sharply, creating a great situation. Unfortunately, all this was yesterday, but the current situation was that the Southern Song army invaded Dadu, and there was not even a single person to deliver a letter. How Qi Liang and miserable it was.

Kublai Khan is a strong man, and every time he loses, his suffering increases by one point. As an ordinary person, if he has pain, he can talk to his friends, but Kublai Khan is the emperor. Even if he has pain, he can only swallow it and cannot tell others. This crying is like a river breaking through the dam and is difficult to stop.

Queen Chabi is a wise man. She knew how much pain Kublai Khan was. She wanted to make him cry enough, but now she didn't have the conditions at all. She comforted Kublai Khan and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, we have hundreds of thousands of people from Brother Beer, and we can make a comeback. Let's go out of the city first and go to Brother Beer to inspect. The soldiers all want to see the Khan of Tian. If the Emperor goes, the morale will definitely be greatly boosted."

She was very good at speaking. She obviously wanted Kublai Khan to escape from the city quickly, but she said it to him as an inspection. With this statement, Kublai Khan became more likely to accept it.

Kublai Khan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Brother Biao'er can't go there. He is a wolfish man. If I have soldiers in my hands, he will welcome me if I go there. Now I have no soldiers in my hands, so it is hard to save a problem."

Queen Chabi thought for a moment and asked, "Emperor, where else can we go besides going to him?"

This very simple question stopped Kublai Khan, and he spoke speechlessly, sighing: "I once owned all over the world, but in the end I didn't even have a place to take shelter, Tianhu! Tianhu!"

Kublai Khan, a wise ruler who praised him as "a destroyer of the old world and a creator of the new world", was extremely unthinkable, but in the end he had nowhere to hide. It was really unthinkable! It was also desolate enough!

"Jie Jin dared to divide his troops and wipe out Tamur in the depths of the enemy. Isn't that bold enough? Zhao Liangchun was even more courageous. He entered Dadu with a mere 10,000 people. They were more courageous than the other." Li Jun looked at the battle report in his hand and said with emotion: "The lean camel is bigger than a horse. We thought that Kublai Khan had failed in the decisive battle in the Central Plains, but his strength was still not to be underestimated. Now it seems that we estimate him too high. It turns out that he is too weak and vulnerable."

Zhang Shijie and Gundam agreed in unison: "Yes, we can't imagine this battle, and it's so smooth." Gundam also added, "It's so boring!"

Li Jun said in contemplation: "The change in the battle situation was beyond our expectations. Our plan to join the Great Wall is to change. Now, the only threat in Yanyun Land is Brother Beer's army. It would be better if he comes, so as to avoid the instigation of chaos on the prairie in the future and increase the difficulty of entering the prairie. He will not let him go back when he comes, and must be wiped out. What do you mean is that the east and west armies will turn around and no longer point to the Great Wall, but will move east and west, cut off the way to jump north, our middle army will go straight to Dadu, meet with Zhao Liangchun, and then annihilate Brother Beer. What do you think?"

"The emperor and the emperor have changed strangely. The battle situation has changed, and our deployment should also change." Gundam agreed with Li Jun's opinion and said: "Your Majesty, I think you can urgently order the Jin Dynasty and the European army to travel, Dai Yuanjun and the special infantry to hurry to Dadu to prevent Brother Biao from seizing the city."

Zhang Shijie added: "General Liao can send another part of his troops to Dadu to respond to the unexpected."
