As the sky turned late, the central army of the Mongolian army settled down in a valley.

The central army of the Mongolian army was huge, with a brilliant flag, and had too many supplies to accompany the army. Mengge led half of the palace to fight south. In addition to the warriors of Qiexue, there were eunuchs from the palace, palace maids and a dozen concubines he loved. When he marched, he was naturally blunt and heavy. Although the women in Mengge's harem came from either the grassland or from Oros or Persia, they were all women who could march on horseback. However, Empress Ouli and Tutemim did not let them move quickly, but advanced slowly.

The guards of Qiexue army were also neatly armored, holding up nine white flags with various flags, and marching with strict ceremonies, as if the Mongke Khan was still alive and the Mongolian army did not suffer any major losses in Nantuochang.

Moreover, when he arrived at the camping place every day, the defeated army became more and more strict, digging trenches, laying camp walls, and building towers without any sloppy. It was even more serious than when Mengge was alive! The Central Army sent Qie Xue would patrol the battalions under the banner of Mengge. When he saw a general who dared to neglect, he would immediately drag him back to the Central Army's golden tent, with a whip and a ruthless manner in which he would govern the army.

After this rectification, an army that had just been defeated and defeated the commander's commander's army became stern. At least it looked solemn and strict, with a bit of a mighty army.

Since the Mongolian army retreated to the south bank of the Yangtze River, this mighty military force was soon reported to Chen Dexing by the three-layer oar-mounted warships patrolling the river.

Compared with the Mongolians on the other side of the river, Chen Dexing's camp in Jiangbei was much more careless, but he cut down some trees and grass to build the road fence. At the same time, he let the camp lean against the Yangtze River. On the river near the camp, there were neatly arranged three-layer oars and ships.

Although the fences of the Daying were sloppy and the trenches were not dug. However, the food and hygiene in the camp were very careful. Since Chen Dexing was interested in developing overseas, he naturally had to pay great attention to developing good hygiene habits in the army. Otherwise, the miasma-ridden area in the future would suffer a lot.

When smoke from the camps rose from all over the camp, Chen Dexing was walking around the troops with his hands behind his back. According to the system of the Pili Navy, each team formed a food unit and ate there around the field pot and stove. This meal was eaten with rice, salted fish and pickled vegetables. The food standard of the Pili Navy was very high in this era. Unlike other Song troops, it was not two meals a day, but three meals a day. Each soldier had twenty-four taels of rice noodles every day, and there were meat at noon and evening meals. Chen Dexing would come to the scene to observe when the soldiers were having their meals in person to prevent someone from deducting the military food. As for the monthly military pay payment, not only were the chief officials at all levels and the instructors at Dayi jointly responsible, Chen Dexing would also conduct random inspections. In the Pili Navy, the situation of deducting military pay and eating vacant amounts was also not allowed.

Zhang Shijie, who had already defected to Chen Dexing, is now following him on inspection. Zhang Shijie originally took the chef and various delicious ingredients to fight. After joining Chen Dexing's group, he immediately changed his style and sent the chef and ingredients to the injury camp. This decisive farewell really made Chen Dexing look at him with admiration.

The two of them walked around and went to the camp where the prisoners of war rested and had dinner. This was Zhang Jiu, oh, Zhang Hongfan was responsible for it. During this period of emergency, the "Lion Walk" newspaper was temporarily suspended. Zhang Hongfan was temporarily sent to manage the surrendered soldiers. Not to mention, they were in good order and camped and had meals like the Pili Navy. The food was the same, but there were Pili Navy officers and soldiers guarding each other. The prisoners had been holding a boat for a day. They had been hungry for a long time and naturally ate it.

Chen Dexing sighed to Zhang Shijie with his hands behind his back, "If these Han people in the north paid taxes, built weapons, and served as infantry, how could Mongolia be rampant today? However, this matter was not the crime of Han people in the north, but it was actually the mistake of killing Fei Yanhe and abandoning the north. If Yue Fei was not killed, the north would probably have been recovered for a hundred years."

Zhang Shijie is also from the North, but he does not fully agree with Chen Dexing's remarks: "If King Yue does not die, he may not be able to restore the Central Plains, right?"

"How can't it be?" Chen Dexing said, "When Yue Wumu died, he died of 39 years later. After six years, Wanyan Zongbi died of illness. After seven years, Wanyan Liang killed the throne, killed him indiscriminately, was extremely debauchery, and used his troops to be rash. How could he be the enemy of Yue Wumu? If Emperor Gaozong could use Yue Wumu as prime minister and consolidate his army and practice martial arts, Shaoxing would be able to restore the Central Plains in thirty-one years."

Yue Fei was killed in the eleventh year of Shaoxing. If he did not die, he would be fifty-nine years old by the thirty-one year of Shaoxing. With Yue Fei's good living habits, there is a great possibility of jumping around. If a funny man like Wanyan Liang meets Yue Fei, can the Jin Dynasty still have a way out?

"That's true," Zhang Shijie also sighed, "It's really a temporary missed, and it's a hundred years of harm!"

"It may not be necessary to be a mistake in the investigation. It is just that the little abacus is too good, which is a mistake for the country and the people!" Chen Dexing's criticism pointed directly at Emperor Gaozong, and then said, "If Yu Qiaoyin was still there, how could Sichuan have the danger today? If it weren't for our Pili Navy, Mengge would probably have been stationed in Majinghu, and he would have joined Kublai Khan in Xianghan, and the imperial Song Dynasty was cut off, which is the next two years!"

Zhang Shijie frowned. He knew that Chen Dexing's words were not aimless... Meng Ge is probably dead. The Song Dynasty court's immediate worries are about to be resolved, so he can naturally do something to destroy the Great Wall again. In the past, he killed Yue Fei, but in recent years, he forced Meng Gong to retreat and Yu Jie to death. He may not have been killed in the future!

To protect yourself and realize the ideal of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, we must naturally firmly grasp the military power!

"What if the court wants to be promoted to Guard to be the deputy envoy of Privy Council?" Zhang Shijie asked tentatively.

Since he got on Chen Dexing's ship now, he should naturally know more.

"What the official wants to give me is probably not the Deputy Privy Councilor, but the Prince Consort." Chen Dexing lowered his voice and said.

"The princess...the princess of the country!?"

Chen Dexing nodded and smiled bitterly: "It's a beautiful thing, isn't it?"

Zhang Shijie was the first to know about this matter among the Pili Navy. It was not because Chen Dexing trusted Zhang Shijie the most, but because Zhang Shijie was already a middle-aged man with rich experience and could help advise. Chen Dexing was not short of martial artists, nor did he seem to be short of "technical men", but none of them could serve as a subordinate of the dog-headed military advisor. Because most of the people in his group were too young, and they did not have much official experience.

Of course, after giving Zhang Shijie a briefing, he would also ask his own brothers to talk to important cadres one by one. His two-life experience told Chen Dexing that some things should be concealed and some things should be briefed, so that the core cadres should be mentally prepared and know where the way out is.

"The guards look down on...the princess?"

"I like it," Chen Dexing smiled, "I have seen Princess Shengguo! But I still have to go to the north, and the Pili Navy will not hand over it!"

"This... is not in line with the ancestral system, right?" Zhang Shijie looked at Chen Dexing, "Guangwei, you shouldn't want it..."

He didn't say anything, but Chen Dexingqi knew what he wanted to say. He waved his hand and said, "Someone must stand up in this world, otherwise they will have to attack us when the new Mongolian Khan is elected. Then I can sit in the Prince Consort's Mansion? If that's the case, who will defend the Song Dynasty? If the Song Dynasty is gone, what will the official family do? What should the princess do? This loyal minister is not like that."

It turns out that this principle can be said like this! Zhang Shijie nodded frequently. When he was impressed, Zhu Sijiu sent Chen Dexing information about the retreat of the Mongolian army.

"Guard!" An excited expression flashed across Zhang Shijie's face, "Brother Meng is dead!"

"Die? How can I tell?" Chen Dexing asked in confusion. To be honest, he was very good at both sides of the two battles, but he was not very good at judging the thoughts of his opponent, especially the Mongols. After all, he did not fight with the Mongols many times and had no experience. Zhang Shijie fought with the Mongols for twenty or thirty years and had already grasped his opponent thoroughly.

"If Mengge did not die, the Tartars would not be so strict. The Tartars are different from me. They are accustomed to using cavalry to cover the battlefield and act as eyes and ears, and control all their actions. Therefore, whether to fight or not, they are in their hands. Why should they be ready for battle at all times? This only means that the Tartars do not want to fight at all, but they want to scare us away with a strict and stern formation."

Chen Dexing snorted: "This Tartar is not trying to scare us away, but to show us the Chongqing generals!"

Then Chen Dexing sneered disdainfully: "There are still experts in the Tartars, and they have a good grasp of the tempers of our Song army! The Purposes and Liu Anfu have been afraid of being beaten long ago. The Tartars are willing to withdraw their troops themselves, so how can they be willing to fight against the Tartars?"

Zhang Shijie said cautiously: "The main force of the Tartars is still there..."

Chen Dexing walked a few steps: "Brother Shijie, where do you think the Tartars will go?"

"Of course, we walked along the south bank of the Yangtze River, first to Fuzhou, then to Luzhou, and then to Chengdu along the Minjiang River." Zhang Shijie thought, "Although Xichuan has been slaughtered by the Tartars many times, there are many Xichuan prefectures and counties who have surrendered to the enemy at this time, and the farming work has not been completely abolished. We should be able to take out some food to support the Tartar army."

"If it were Chongqing, Hezhou soldiers could do some effort to block the Tatar army from heading to Chengdu Prefecture... Maybe they could also attack Xingyuan (Hanzhong) and Lizhou (Guangyuan) in the north!" Chen Dexing said his wishful thinking. If the troops in Sichuan could take the opportunity to recover Xingyuan, Lizhou, and Mongolian troops would have no way to go back north.

Zhang Shijie shook his head and said, "Impossible, Impossible..."
