False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

Lu Wenhuan swallowed, his eyes struggled and hesitated, and he was caught in a decision.

Lin Chen was not in a hurry when he saw this, waiting for him to think clearly.

Just because Lu Wenhuan was the brother of Lu Wende, a famous anti-Mongolian general.

This Lu Wende can be regarded as a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty. He fought against the Jin Dynasty and Mongolia for thirty years in Sichuan, Shu, Huguang and other places.

Lu Wende had a high reputation in the Southern Song Dynasty army. After his death, he was given the posthumous title: Wuzhong by the Southern Song Dynasty court. He was also posthumously named Heyi County King.

This shows that Lu Wende held a high position in the Southern Song Dynasty army.

After his death, Lu Wenhuan naturally inherited his family's younger brother's old connections in the Southern Song army, and was naturally appointed to guard Xiangfan, the lifeblood of the Southern Song Dynasty.

But as Lu Wenhuan took the lead in surrendering to Mongolia, those old officials also followed suit, and the entire Yangtze River defense line turned against them in an instant!

These old troops who defected with Lu Wenhuan were also incorporated into the Mongolian and Han armies by Kublai Khan and used to attack and destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Lin Chen did not kill Lu Wenhuan directly.

His next shocking plan requires the cooperation of the other party.

This time, the army led by Kublai Khan came to challenge Jia Sidao. In addition to the soldiers from various places who maintained the newly occupied territory, there were more than 300,000 soldiers!

Now that these Mongolian armies have lost the command of Kublai Khan, they are bound to become chaotic.

But even so.

It's not something that Lin Chen can only eat with 30,000 people.

This is not a snake swallowing an elephant, but an ant eating a tiger!

Therefore, Lin Chen set his sights on Lu Wenhuan's old subordinates.

Just because among the more than 300,000 troops, in addition to the northern Han princes and the Mongolian army, the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty who surrendered by Lu Wenhuan's old army accounted for one-third!

Lu Wenhuan did not hesitate for long.

This was natural. After all, his life was in Lin Chen's hands and there was no possibility of bargaining.

He also knew what Lin Chen planned to ask him to do.

It was nothing more than writing a secret letter to make the old officials who were still in the Mongolian army rebel again.

If Kublai Khan had not died, Lu Wenhuan would definitely not have been able to make him switch sides by relying on letters alone.

But according to what Lin Chen said, Kublai Khan had already died in his hands!

Now that all the Mongolian naval forces are gone, is it possible to let these Mongolian troops who crossed the river swim back?

There is a more important question.

That means the Mongolian army has run out of supplies!

You know, their food supplies for hundreds of thousands of people are an astronomical figure.

What's more, the Mongolian cavalry has many cavalry, and the daily consumption of feeding one war horse is enough for seven or eight infantry for one day.

in short.

The Mongolian army that crossed the river to pursue the defeated army of the Southern Song Dynasty has now become a turtle in the urn!

then.

The various Mongolian generals who were still unclear about what was happening in the rear stopped and sent messengers to ask what the next step should be before receiving Kublai Khan's military order.

However, for three days, there was no response.

At this time, the Mongolian army that penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Southern Song Dynasty would be at a loss.

Naturally, some generals came back with their troops, wanting to see what was going on.

However.

When they arrived along the Yangtze River, they saw a navy blocking the river.

The flags and uniforms of this naval force are obviously not their own!

The generals were shocked and realized that the situation was not good.

At the same time, a rumor spread like wildfire among the Mongolian army.

This time they fell into the Song army's strategy of luring the enemy deeper.

A strange force attacked the Great Khan's tent and killed him. The remaining ministers did not escape much.

As soon as this news came out, the morale of the Mongolian army plummeted.

At first, there were Mongolian military generals who strictly prohibited the spread of such rumors.

But when the navy fleet blocking the river hung out the Mongolian Khan's military tent and the heads of many ministers and nobles.

Mongolian morale is irreversible!

The name of the Song general who killed Kublai Khan also began to spread among these Mongolian soldiers.

Lin Chen!

at the same time.

The letters written by Lu Wenhuan were also sent to the Mongolian army by Jin Yiwei.

The expressions of the surrendered generals of the Southern Song Dynasty changed after receiving the letter.

Because Lu Wenhuan exaggerated the current situation under Lin Chen's instruction.

Saying that Kublai Khan was dead, the Southern Song Dynasty mobilized a million troops, and under the command of General Yulin Lin Chen, they surrounded the main Mongolian force of about 300,000 people.

When food and grass were cut off, an encirclement and suppression campaign was launched.

By then, these surrendered generals will definitely have no way to survive.

Fortunately, Lu Wenhuan and General Lin Chen have an old relationship, so I am writing a letter asking them to put things right.

If it is successful, not only will there be no punishment, but there will be merit!

After reading the letter, the expressions of Lu Wenhuan's former subordinates were wonderful.

Combined with the recent news blockade and lack of food and grass, these Southern Song generals suddenly understood.

So this is ah!

Speaking of these generals, they are just grassroots.

He could surrender to Kublai Khan without hesitation before, but now he can rebel again in a certain death situation.

Lin Chen felt relieved after reading the replies from Lu Wenhuan's old subordinates.

Most of his plan came true!

the other side,

Jia Sidao, who left by boat, walked along the river from Dingjiazhou to Yangzhou in just two days.

It has to be said that the Prime Minister of Promoting Weaving ran quite fast.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty who were abandoned by Jia Sidao were killed by the Mongolian army for 150 miles, suffering heavy casualties!

If Lin Chen hadn't captured Kublai Khan's military tent, the Mongolian army could have attacked Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.

even so.

This news reached the Southern Song Dynasty court and caused an uproar.

"This Jia Sidao has humiliated his country by losing his master. Please kill this beast!"

"Your Majesty, we need to mobilize the troops of King Qin from all over the country to defend Lin'an!"

The newly succeeded Song Gongzong Zhao Li was at a loss.

Yes.

After Zhao Yu, Duzong of the Song Dynasty, learned about the war situation in Dingjiazhou, he didn't know whether it was due to liver and gallbladder rupture or addiction to drinking and sex that led to serious physical damage.

After the news came back, he died suddenly!

So Zhao Yu, the second son of Zhao Fu, took the position of emperor with the urgent support of the princes in the court. He was only five years old.

Therefore, the one who can really speak in the court is the Empress Dowager Xie Daoqing.

Song Gongzong was young, so Xie Daoqing listened behind the curtain.

This empress dowager was quite famous in the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, Xie Daoqing could not help the mess in the Southern Song Dynasty even if Wu Zetian and Empress Dowager Xiao were alive.

After learning that Jia Sidao was defeated and fled to Yangzhou, Xie Daoqing issued an edict to recall him.

It's just that Jia Sidao excused himself and delayed.

It seems that the prime minister who promoted the organization also knew that he was very responsible for the battle of Dingjiazhou.

Xie Daoqing looked at the noisy court princes with a sad expression on his face.

Issue an edict to King Qin?

But all the territory in the Southern Song Dynasty was wiped out by Jia Sidao, so how could there be any soldiers to mobilize? !

"Your Majesty, please petition for peace!"

"Yes, the only solution is to seek peace."

As soon as this was said, the ministers of the DPRK and China unanimously agreed.

If we don't seek peace, how about we continue to fight?

Seeing this, Xie Daoqing had no other choice but to send Lu Xiufu to the north to seek peace with Mongolia.

At the same time, Xie Daoqing issued an edict to transfer Xia Gui, Sun Huchen and other generals back to Beijing.

Jia Sidao blamed Xia Gui and Sun Huchen, the guys who had tricked him, and put all the blame for the defeat of Dingjiazhou on their heads in his memorial.

But the current situation.

Apart from these people, there were no generals capable of fighting in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Sun Huchen received the recruitment and returned to Lin'an.

Only Xia Gui, who controlled tens of thousands of Southern Song naval forces, refused to comply, obviously having second thoughts.
