Chapter 4 Plan

An important military meeting is being held in the General's Mansion in Xiangyang. Apart from the generals who are qualified to participate in such a meeting, there are only seven or eight generals with important identities and absolutely loyal generals, because they hear the top secrets of military affairs.

"So, you and General Fan have made an appointment?" This is the second time Lu Wenhuan has asked this question. He still wants to know more and more details.

"Yes, we had already made an appointment with General Li Tingzhi and General Fan before we set off. But the time has not been determined yet. As long as the matter here is certain, we will immediately send someone to contact General Fan. At that time, we will cooperate inside and outside, attack the Tartars from both sides, and meet in Longweizhou." Zhang Gui was not tired of it. He had said it several times, but he was still not vague at all.

"How do you plan to contact General Fan?"

"My subordinates have brothers who are very good at water. They can dive out and make an appointment with General Fan." This is also a plan that Zhang Gui and the others had already thought of before they arrived.

Fan Tianshun, who had been thinking, finally spoke, "I think my father and commander should have been waiting for news from us for a long time. We have been surrounded by five years. They have no choice but to be outside. Maybe they are in a hurry. This plan of internal and external cooperation should be our best opportunity. Maybe we can break the siege of the Tartars at once. I think we can try it." As soon as he heard that he agreed, several other generals agreed.

Lu Wenhuan thought for a while and went through the whole plan in his mind. Until he didn't find any fatal mistakes, he finally felt like he was determined. "Okay, let's start preparing immediately, but how many people do you want this time?"

Zhang Gui immediately replied, "This time we broke in and brought a total of 3,000 people. I am going to bring these brothers to the battlefield. After all, our Xiangyang defenders are now in a difficult position. It is better not to draw them. If we can kill the Tartars in one go, of course we can lift the siege of Xiangyang. Once we cannot succeed, we will never touch the root of the here."

Lu Wenhuan didn't expect that Zhang Gui had this idea, so he couldn't help but stand up and said excitedly: "The safety of Xiangyang City will be sent to the general."

Fan Tianshun also seemed very moved by the side, "If the general meets my father and commander, he must tell him that Xiangyang is at a critical location and is a key place in our Song Dynasty. You must not give up easily. Even if a breakthrough fails, you must continue to fight. Only when this place is still there, we have hope of turning the tables. I will write a letter immediately and ask someone to take it over. My father will know the situation here at a glance, and he will have a clear decision." Everyone was naturally even happier when he said this.

But Zhang Shun, who had been staying aside, smiled bitterly in his heart. These people had been surrounded here for too long and were already stupid. They didn't know the situation outside at all. Fan Tianshun was a man, but his father Fan Wenhu was simply a scumbag. This person was nominally a subordinate of Li Tingzhi, but in fact he didn't listen to his command at all. He only obeyed Jia Sidao. The reason why Li Tingzhi had 150,000 naval troops and thousands of large and small warships in his hands, but he could not get rid of Xiangfan's siege because this person was on the side. Otherwise, with the vulnerable status of the Yuan people's naval troops, they should have been in there long ago. Why did they reach this point of the field?

Now the Yuan people have 70,000 naval troops and more than 5,000 warships have increased their strength. In addition, after yesterday's battle, they will immediately activate Liu Zheng and let him be fully responsible for the navy. From then on, the Yuan people who do not understand water wars are no longer the Yuan people on the water surface, but the iron monkey Liu Zheng. This person is an extremely difficult opponent to deal with. It's ridiculous that they are still illusions now. But they can only think about these words in their hearts. He didn't want to say them. After all, no one would believe them. Why cause such unnecessary trouble?

According to historical records, the development of the following things should be like this. After all, the supplies and soldiers brought by Zhang Gui were limited, so Zhang Gui agreed with Fan Wenhu, a Song general outside the city to attack the Mongolian army from north to south, open up the traffic line outside Xiangyang. According to the plan, Fan Wenhu led 5,000 elite troops to support him. After Zhang Gui led his army to break through, he joined him in Longweizhou.

Zhang Gui said goodbye to Lu Wenhuan according to the agreed date and led 3,000 troops down the Han River. However, when inspecting the soldiers, he found that there was a missing personal soldier who was beaten for violating military orders. Zhang Gui was shocked and said to the soldiers, "Our plan has probably been leaked. Only by attacking quickly, the enemy may not have time to get news." They decisively changed their plans and set off firecrackers at night to break out of the siege.

In the Yuan army, A Shu and Liu Zheng learned that Zhang Gui broke through, and sent tens of thousands of people to block the river. Zhang Gui walked while fighting and approached Longweizhou. In the lights, he saw the warships in the direction of Longweizhou waving like clouds and flags. He thought it was Fan Wenhu's response troops and raised fire to show his lights. The other ship rushed towards him when he saw the lights.

But when they were approaching, they found that the ships were all Mongolian troops. It turned out that they had occupied Longweizhou first and were waiting for their hard work. The Song and Mongolian armies started an encounter in Longweizhou. The Song army was extremely tired and suffered too many casualties in the battle. Zhang Guili was unable to support him and was captured by the Yuan army and was finally killed.

The Mongolian army sent four surrendered soldiers from the Southern Song Dynasty to carry Zhang Gui's body Xiaoxiu in Xiangyang City and forced Lu Wenhuan to surrender. Lu Wenhuan killed the surrendered soldiers and buried Zhang Gui and Zhang Shun together. At this point, all efforts to rescue Xiangfan in the Southern Song Dynasty failed, and it was only a matter of time before Xiangfan's fall.

In other words, this was already the last struggle, and this time, the heroic act of raiding 120 miles overnight and killing countless enemies into the siege was just a reflection of the future. At this point, Xiangyang entered the stage of waiting for death, waiting for the Yuan people to train their troops to fight.

Originally, Zhang Shun had thought about what would happen if he didn't participate? This young man could live until after the war, and maybe he could surrender with Lu Wenhuan and leave Xiangyang City alive, but this idea was immediately denied by him as soon as it appeared. During that crew, Zhang Shun had heard several young screenwriters discuss this battle when they were bored. At that time, they all thought it might be the last chance of the Xiangyang Battle.

If we can use the enemy's carelessness to counterattack the enemy, what kind of situation would it be? At the worst, we should be able to delay it for a while. If it is done, we might be able to kill Liu Zheng.
