Chapter 178 Useful Master

? Since the Song Dynasty court has made a choice, everything has to go on inevitably.   In fact, the most unfair thing in this matter is Song Lizong Zhao Yun. After all, his rule is to be maintained by dog ​​officials. If the policy is not established in this way, these dog officials will be abandoned as soon as possible.

However, what is unexpected is that the Mongolian army led by Prince Kublai Khan had no intention of stopping. They were still frozen hard in the dead of winter, and their troops were divided into two groups to approach the defense line run by Jie Jie in Shu.

Even though the defense line is still there, it is just Zhu Yan. At this time, Yu Jie had already gone to the Pearl Province of Ceylon. Before the capital of the "Huaxia Empire" was selected and occupied, it would be the location of the "Royal Academy of Sciences of the Huaxia Empire". The defense line in Shu had fallen to another named Yu, whose name was Yu Hui. Although he was surnamed Yu, when facing the offensive of the Mongolian army, he was just a small dish.

At this time, the information of the summoning of Emperor Lizong of Song Dynasty had reached the hands of Prince Kublai Khan. The closer he was to Shu, the more rugged the road was. But the closer he was to Shu, the more warm the weather felt, and in fact it would be more beneficial to the Mongols' march and war. The only thing he felt strange about one thing in his heart. It was said that the Song people could not know that the Mongolian army sent troops in the winter, so how did they get the news quickly?

"Zhongqian (Zhang Wenqian's name), how did the Song people know that we have sent troops to Shu? Could it be that they also had spies in Halehelin? If there were spies from the Song Dynasty there..."

At this moment, Zhang Wenqian was wearing a thick cloak with a wind hood. Although the warmer the southward, the warmer the climate. As a literati, his ability to resist wind and cold was still insufficient. Prince Kublai Khan saw him trembling with the cold and shook his head.

"I said Zhong Qian, why do you sit in the big cart of the big stove as I said, so that you can feel better."

Perhaps because he was worried that Prince Kublai Khan would look down on him as a scholar, Zhang Wenqian lifted his hood and immediately bowed to Prince Kublai Khan to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for your concern, Zhong Qian is very grateful. But as an aide, you should follow the prince and listen to it at any time. If you hide in the car because of the cold, it would be a joke, and it would be useless to be a scholar!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Hearing Zhang Wenqian's words, Prince Kublie suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter seemed to make the green pine trees tremble, and snow fell from above.

"Zhong Qian, Zhong Qian, I think you are too careful. Where can anyone say that to you here? I will definitely be the first to refuse to agree. But what do you think of Zhong Qian? If there is an insider in our place, it would be a big problem!"

The disguised praise from Prince Kublai Khan made Zhang Wenqian stroke his beard and look proud. Whether the literati, who have always been specialized in the Song Dynasty, was at least determined in front of Prince Kublai Khan.

"Prince, I don't have to worry about the insider's affairs. Let me guess, naturally, it was the news leaked from the Goryeo people. After they obtained the armaments provided by the Chinese army, they had already expelled our army from the Goryeo. Most of the goods purchased by Zhao Xu were introduced from the Goryeo. It seems that the merchants saw our army's actions and passed the news to the Song Ting. If this matter was as Zhong Qian guessed, it would be an irrelevant thing!"

Prince Kublai Khan heard Zhang Wenqian's integrity and felt more at ease. He was different from ordinary Mongolian princes and nobles. He had a strong liking for the Han people, especially those scholars among the Han people. Therefore, Prince Kublai Khan still valued the scholars among the Han people who were willing to join him.

At least he knew that he could conquer the world immediately, but he could not sit in the world immediately. This is probably because he valued the original use of scholars among the Han people. Moreover, Zhang Wenqian's analysis in front of him made him feel relieved of the matters of the insider.

"That's good. As long as that boy Zhao Xu didn't collude with Song Ting, there would be no big trouble!"

He said this to himself, and he squeezed his legs and urged the horse to run. Although he had been carrying cavalry for a lifetime, he had to admit that this kind of war horse was the best he had ever seen. Not only could he endure hardships and be very strong, but he was also quite comfortable when running. The most important thing is that such war horses are not as sensitive as Arabian horses, and even the sound of gunfire or cannons may not scare him.

As the Mongolian army advanced day and night, Shu soon appeared before them. The annual average temperature in Shu was 16 degrees Celsius to 18 degrees Celsius, and the whole area was warm and humid, which was naturally beneficial to the Mongols' march. And the difference from history was that the army led by Prince Kublai Khan attacked Shu and planned to fight in one battle. Because it did not divide the troops into four directions, it was necessary to concentrate its troops to swallow the entire Shu.

The purpose of doing this is nothing more than to exchange here for Zhao Xu's land for the Mongol Empire in the future. What his prince Kublai Khan wanted to do was the Khan of the entire Mongolian. As for the desperate confrontation with the "Chinese Army", he had no intention of doing it. In the future, Zhao Xu would have to go to the south again. Although he could help him, he would not be able to hide in Halehelin and enjoy his success.

"Prince, at this moment, the Song Dynasty insists on seeking peace. Can we ask them to withdraw from Shu? Even if there is no money, we don't have to lose too much for Zhao Xu's territory."

Zhang Wenqian, who always followed Prince Kublai Khan, rode a top-shaped war horse and whispered by Prince Kublai Khan. The latter just shook his head and signaled that such things would be camped at night. At this moment, when he was on the road, he had to be careful to deal with the ambush of the Song army in Shu. After all, before coming, he heard that Yu Jie was well prepared in this Shu area!

"Hmph, no one knows that the Chinese army is powerful. At this time, you still have to play with your heart. Just look at him. It's amazing to me..."

With such a plan to not want to fight hard, Prince Kublai Khan would naturally not be able to advance quickly. In addition, the strategy mentioned by his master Zhang Wenqian just now, he did not want to advance quickly. Now he was just thinking, not knowing that the court of the Song Dynasty would not be willing to conduct such an exchange. After all, Shu is a large population, and if it were changed, Zhao Xu would like to go back then, and he could even make a lot of money from him.

In this way, the Mongols forced Shu, which had almost no defense ability!
