Chapter add a little more
"The Qinshi Guard and the Han Army's right, in the middle, the three guards of the rear were caught on the way to reinforce Fu Li, and were blocked by the 100,000 troops of the Southern Dynasties. Fu Li defended the Han Army's commander Yu Wafu, who was afraid of the enemy and fled north, and thus the Tutu Ha tribe was out of control and retreated, and had to risk breaking through Yingtian Prefecture. When he retreated to Yongcheng, he was blocked by the Southern Army's brigade. Tutu Ha led his troops to fight and died in the chaos. The Han army's right guard commander Shouwuer was killed in the battle, and the Central Guard commander Kangli was seriously injured and captured, and the rear guard commander Baduer was unknown..."
"Don't talk too much, just say how many soldiers there are to fight, how about Guide Mansion?" Zhenjin interrupted Yue Chi Cha'er's report with a pale face, waved his hand and asked.
"Yes, great khan!" Yue Chi Cha'er nodded repeatedly.
"After two days of fierce fighting, the troops retreated to Yingtian Prefecture, and the Southern Army pursued them reluctantly. There were only a few thousand sergeants in the city. The Southern Army was caught by the gate, and they could only pass through the city. The city was lost. They could only continue to retreat north to Kaifeng, gathering up the remaining troops from each unit to obtain 8,000 troops, and temporarily led by Zheng Wen, the deputy commander of the Han Army Central Army. He urgently recruited the surrounding prefectures and counties to rush to rescue, and prepared to defend, and asked the Khan to send troops to rescue quickly... Khan!"
"Only eight thousand people are left, Guide Mansion is lost!" Zhen Jin murmured after hearing the news, rolled his eyes, leaned down, and fell on the imperial bed.
"..." Yue Chi Cha'er knew that Dahan had been in poor health for a while, so she kept looking at him secretly. Seeing him overturned and exclaimed, she hurried forward to support him, and then called the eunuch to quickly call the imperial doctor to treat him.
After a while, Zhen Jin slowly woke up, his eyes turned around and found that he had arrived in the bedroom. The queen Kuokuo sat on the edge of the collapse and lowered her head and cried. When she woke up, she wiped her tears in surprise and smiled. He twisted his head slightly, and saw the third son Tie Muer standing by the bed to serve, and then he asked, "How long have I been sleeping!"
"Da Sweat has been sleeping for more than half a day, and it is now the hour of You!" Queen Kuokuozhen turned her face and looked at the sky outside the palace and replied.
"Help me up, summon the right prime minister, left prime minister, and Ping Zhang went to the palace to discuss matters!" Zhen Jin was about to struggle to get up, but he just supported himself but fell down dejectedly.
"Sweat a lot, your health is important. Let's discuss it for a few more days!" Kuokuozhen wiped the sweat channel that oozed out of his forehead with a silk chew.
"The enemy is about to reach the city. How can I feel at ease on the couch and pass on my life!" Zhen Jin patted Kuokuo's hands and said softly.
"Father Khan is at ease and rest. I am willing to lead troops to Kaifeng, drive the enemy out of the two Huaihe Rivers and re-enter the Jiangnan!" Tiemur stepped forward and bowed.
"Wang'er is intent, but the Southern Army is powerful this time, you are still young!" Zhenjin looked at Tiemuer and chuckled.
"Father Khan, I..." Tie Muer understood that although his father was tactful, the meaning was nothing more than saying that he was not an opponent of the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and that he was a few years younger than him. This made him a little dissatisfied and wanted to argue, but his mother waved her hand to stop him.
"Several important officials learned that the Khan had suddenly become ill, and had been in the palace and guarding outside the hall for a day. Summon them into the bedroom and meet them!" Kuokuozhen advised.
"Help me get up and change my clothes and let them meet in the hall!" Zhenjin shook his head and said, rejecting the queen's kindness.
"Oh, okay!" Kuokuozhen sighed lightly, and gave Timuer a secret wink, asking him to help Dahan get up, while she served Dahan with her own clothes. She was smart and knew that when the country was in trouble and internal and external trouble, Dahan forced himself to meet the ministers, and did not want people to think that he was knocked down, nor did he want people to know that he could not take charge of the affairs himself...
"See the Great Khan!" The ministers who had been waiting in the hall for a long time saw that Zhen Jin was supported by Tie Muer and immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"Sit!" Zhenjin pressed his hands and let everyone sit down.
"The Khan is safe, it is a blessing for our court!" Right Prime Minister Boyan greeted first. When he received an order in front of him, he immediately returned to Dadu, but he had just entered the capital and learned that the war on the front line had failed. Today, he received a report that the Qinzhan Guards and Han Army Guards were defeated and that the Guide Mansion was lost. Then there was an order in the harem to make him attack quickly, and then he learned that the Khan was angry and fainted on the spot.
Boyan knew very well that in this troubled autumn and when people were panic, if the sweat came into trouble, and the crown prince was not established, it would definitely cause a bloody storm. At that time, internal and external difficulties, the Yuan Dynasty might really go to an end. Fortunately, the sweat had slowed down. But his mood only improved slightly. He had already seen that the sweat came out and his face was flushed. At this moment, he was just forcing himself to hold on, and the crisis was not resolved.
"I just got a slight illness occasionally. I was fine after taking the medicine, but it scared you all!" Zhen Jin said lightly.
"It's all because of our incompetence that the Great Sweat is too hard and I'm afraid!" Pingzhang and Li Qian said politely again.
"It's all because of Yuxi Timur's fault. He insisted on crossing the river and attacking Jiangdong and defeating him. If he followed the Khan's will to negotiate peace with the Southern Dynasties, how could he lead to the loss of all the elite troops in the Huai River and allow the enemy to invade the Central Plains? How could the Khan overwork!" Brother Sang said angrily.
"Yes, if he followed the strategy of the right prime minister, built cities along the river, built strict defense lines, and then repaired them with the Southern Dynasty to discuss the situation and communicated with them, how could there be today's disaster!" Tie Muer looked at Boyan and said with gritted teeth.
"Yuxi Timur's arrogance of defeating Jiangdong, but it is not fair to blame him!" Pingzhang and Li Qian frowned. In fact, everyone knows that without the instructions of the Khan, Yuxi Timur's courage is so bold that he would not dare to mobilize more than 100,000 troops from both Wanhu Mansions, but there is always someone to be responsible, and he is just taking the blame for the Khan. Timur's words are just to please Boyan, and the reason is self-evident.
"Oh, the Southern Army has captured Guide Mansion now, and you are pointing at Kaifeng, so don't argue about the past." Boyan sighed lightly. He also understood everyone's thoughts.
After being scolded by Kublai Khan for abdicating, Zhen Jin fell seriously ill in fear and has been weak since then. Since the defeat in the battle last year, he has become weaker, which has also caused some people to be ready to fight for the Khan throne. Zhen Jin has three sons, the eldest son Ganmala and the third son Tiemur were all born by the queen Kuokuozhen, and the second son Dalamabala was born by his concubine Hongjila Bolan Yeqiechi.
As the eldest grandson of Ganmala, he is naturally the best heir to the throne and is also recognized by Han ministers. He was raised by Empress Kublai Khan since childhood. Kublai Khan seemed to be inclined to train this grandson as his successor. After he grew up, he was named King of Jin, and he was the "foundation of ancestors" in Mobei. He guarded the Taizu Daoerduo, and served as the head coach in Mobei for a long time.
However, Empress Kuokuozhen did not have much affection for her eldest son Ganmala, and she preferred her youngest son Tiemur. After Zhen Jin ascended the throne, she instigated the Khan to recall Ganmala and renamed King Liang, and asked Tiemur to go to the Northwest Fu Army and asked Boyan to assist. Obviously, she wanted to make friends with the kings of the Northwest and prepare for the fight for the Khan throne. Zhen Jin fainted when she was angry, and she only summoned Tiemur to the palace to serve, and her thoughts were even more obvious.
At the moment, Li Qian seemed to be defending Yuxi Timur, but in fact he was trying to criticize Timur for being unfair in his actions. Of course, he also expressed his position. He did not support the establishment of Timur as the crown prince. Brother Sang was obviously on the side of the queen. He represented the old sect kings and supported Timur as the throne. Boyan also understood Timur's thoughts, but he also knew that if the matter was handled improperly, it would be another dispute, so he did not want to express his opinion and changed the topic.
"What the right prime minister said is that Xuzhou and Guide Prefecture are now lost, and the Southern Army can cross the Yellow River at any time and enter the capital. What good plans do you have to defend against the enemy?" Zhen Jin obviously didn't want to continue this topic, and said solemnly with Tiemuer.
"Khan, the guards' personal army are suffering heavy losses at the moment. The court has no troops to adjust. They can only quickly transfer the royal army of the grassland to serve the king and consolidate the capital!" Li Qian suggested.
"Pingzhang said it lightly. Now that the national treasury is empty and the granaries are not grains. How to solve the problem of transferring troops into the capital?" Brother Sang spread his hands and said.
"This..." Li Qian was choked by Brother Sang's words. He also knew that in order to reinforce Huaibei, the guards' personal army had taken away most of the food stored in the capital when they left Beijing. Now the food accumulated was only enough for the food that was eaten by the middle of Beijing for half a year. In order to pay for military expenses, the court could only print more paper money, resulting in soaring prices. The wheat had risen to ten guans of paper money per bucket, and the price of salt was ten ingots of banknotes per stone, and the people could not even afford salt.
"Then you can't wait for death!" Yue Chi Cha'er interrupted, "We can buy food from the people, sign and collect males over 16 years old and join the army, and use the tax on salt and iron as military expenses to set up defenses along the Yellow River to prevent the enemy from entering Hebei."
"I thought it was impossible to stop the Southern Dynasties' army at the moment. It would be better to send envoys to discuss peace and demarcate the border with the Southern Dynasties and rule it. When the Japanese army is strong and the horse is strong, they will conquer the south of the Yangtze River again." Brother Sang said.
"Well, I think peace talks are a perfect plan. We can agree to their previous conditions to open a court on the border with the Huai River as the boundary!" Zhen Jin nodded and said.
"Khan, now the Southern Army has crossed the Huai River with its troops to capture important towns such as Xuzhou, Fuli and Guide. The Huai River is bounded by the Huai River, but I am afraid that the Southern Dynasty will not agree to agree." Yue Chi Cha'er said with a wry smile.
"Well... we can also promise them that they can be matched by brotherly countries. How could they let it go so cheap!" Tiemur suddenly interrupted.
"Oh!" Everyone sighed in unison after hearing this, thinking that this child was not mentally ill. I remember that when the army of this dynasty was powerful, the Southern Dynasties proposed to call father and son, and regarded the Great Khan as their father, but the Khan flatly refused and insisted on destroying the country. But now the situation has reversed, and you still seem to have done kindness to the Southern Dynasties and be called brothers, how could the Southern Dynasties agree?
