Chapter 532 Meng Ge Died of Diaoyu City
Seeing that the water flowed at the intersection of Jialing River and Baishui River, Mengge was worried that the army would not be able to cross, so Wang Dechen said that the bridge could be built. So Mengge mobilized the military and civilians, and within a few days, a floating bridge was built on the Baishui River. When Mengge personally visited the bridge, he was amazed and said, "Shishou Wang said it is true!" He was given 30 kilograms of platinum and ordered the carving of stones to be carved to the riverside. The guardian of the Song Dynasty, Nanqing, surrendered to Wang Dechen, and later went to court to the north to meet the Khan. His subordinates killed his family, and Kuzhu returned to Song again, and the Meng army was not defeated. So Mengge ordered Wang Dechen to take down Kuzhu as soon as possible and clear the obstacles to going south to Chengdu.
After conquering Kuzhu, Wang Dechen sent someone to write a letter to the Longzhou garrison Wang Dexin to persuade him to surrender. Wang Dexin expressed his willingness to surrender. Wang Dechen reported that Mengge allowed him to surrender. In early November, the Mongolian army attacked Changning and captured the mountain city of Eding Fort. The county magistrate Wang Zhong surrendered, and the guard Wang Zuo was captured and beheaded. The Mongolian army advanced along the water and land, and Wang Dechen was the vanguard general and went south to Dahuoshan, Langzhou. The Mongolian army sent Wang Zhong to persuade the surrender Yang Dayuan, but was killed by him. The two sides fought fiercely for several days. The Mongolian army seized the Song army's water gate and refused his life. The guards urged Yang Dayuan to surrender. Yang Dayuan had no choice but to send his son to Wang Dechen's tent to beg for surrender, and Wang Dechen approved his request.
The next day, Yang Dayuan led the officials and soldiers in the city to surrender. Wang Dechen introduced him to Mengge, who was from Tianshui and was originally the commander of Langzhou. After surrender, the Mongolian general asked him to surrender to Pengzhou and Guang'an counties. A few years later, he was promoted to the Marshal of Dongchuan Capital and never forgot Wang Dechen's life. Mengge summoned the kings and generals from all walks of life to hold a military meeting in Langzhou, and redeployed the military to attack Song.
Marshal Nurin had 50,000 infantry soldiers and 200 warships set out from Chengdu, conquering Peng, Han, Huai, Jian, and Longzhou, and blocking the Jiangkou of Chongqing. Mengge personally led the Northern Army to still use Wang Dechen's troops as the vanguard, set out from Langzhou, and went to Yunshan, Qingju, Daliang and other mountain cities, conquered Xiangzhou and Suining, and arrived in Hezhou at the end of the year, forming a siege.
Hezhou is located at the meeting place of the three rivers of Jialing River, Dangjiang River and Fu River. At this time, the defenders of Hezhou were Wang Jian and Zhang Yu. They were both intelligent and brave, with sufficient troops and sufficient food, and the city was safe and secure. They faced the storm, calmed down and fought hard to defend, which made the Mongolian army's rapid offensive be contained here. More than 100,000 troops were dragged under the city for more than half a year. The army commanded by Mengge failed to fight repeatedly, suffered heavy losses, and there were corpses along the river. Seeing that the forceful attack could not be done, Mengge sent surrendered general Jin Guobao to persuade him to surrender, but was sternly rejected by Wang Jian.
Jin Guobao stole out of the city gate at night and fled. He was sent by Wang Jian to chase him back and took him to the schoolyard to behead him. Wang Jian cried and swore to the fore. The morale of the army was greatly boosted. This year, the drought was severe and the disease was also prevalent. In June, Shuzhong, the red sun was like fire, and Mengge was blocked under the city and could not do anything. In order to understand the situation inside the city, he ordered a high platform outside the city to build a bridge tower, and a mast was erected up the tower, and people were often sent to climb to the top of the pole to observe. After Wang Jian and Zhang Yu discovered it, they ordered people to carry cannons to aim at the direction of the bridge tower.
One day, Meng Ge personally came to the city and sent someone to climb up the top of the pole to observe the movements in the city. While Meng Ge was watching, a shot suddenly occurred in the city, and the man and the pole were shot out a hundred steps away, shooting out two fresh fish, and a letter of letter read: "You can cook fresh cakes, and you can't get it for another ten years." Meng Ge was shocked by the cannon wind and was in a sick army. He was anxious and angry. In helpless, he went to Choujun Mountain and his condition turned worse.
Wang Dechen, who always relied on his own courage, was angry and commanded
The army attacked day and night, and quickly broke the city with an attempt. He led his troops to raid Hezhou City, climbed up the cloud ladder, occupied the Majun Village, and killed the defending generals. In the middle of the night, a fierce battle suddenly broke out, and the ladder was broken. The rear army did not continue and had to withdraw from the outer city. Another day, he rode alone under the city to fight and shouted loudly: "Wang Jian, I will save you from your life, so it is better to surrender early!" A loud bang in the city, and a flying stone hit the head, but he was seriously injured. He died in the army at the age of 37.
The famous vanguard general was killed, which made the morale of the Mongolian army depressed. Mengge was extremely sad. While ordering the troops to retreat slowly, he was mourning for him. He sent his seventeen-year-old eldest son Wang Weizheng to escort Lingshu, traveling thousands of miles to return to the ancestral tomb of Yanchuan, Zhang County.
The troops at the city of Mongeton were unable to be defeated for a long time, and the good general was injured and killed, so he could not help but worry about coming from it. Diaoyu Mountain was outside Hezhou City, and Mengge climbed the mountain to raise ice and died soon afterwards. The kings and ministers carried bodies in donkey chariots and carried them to the north to rescue the siege. Wang Jian responded to the truth, and the court issued an order to promote Wang Jian to the governor of Ningyuan Army. Wang Jian then repaired the city and drilled moats to prevent the enemy from coming again.
After the Mongolian soldiers returned to the north, they immediately paid a funeral and respected Mengge as Xianzong. Kublai Khan led his troops across the Huai River and entered Dasheng Pass. He ordered his general Zhang Rou to attack Hutou Pass and merged into it in different directions, with an unstoppable momentum. The Song army fled when they heard the news. Wuliang Hetai led his troops down Hengshan, ravaged Penn and Xiangzhou, entered Jingjiang Prefecture, defeated Chenyuan, and arrived directly to Tanzhou. Li Quan's son Li Quan also followed the orders of Mongolia to capture the Lianshui Army in Haizhou. Jing, Hu, Jiang, and Huai were in a hurry at the same time.
The Song court changed the reign of Kaiqing, and served as the commander of Jia Sidao as the commander of the two Huai Rivers. He then ordered him to be the capital, the ambassador of the north and south of Hunan, Sichuan, and the governor of Jiangxi, and half of the country was sent to Jia Jie, hoping that he would win the flag and the horse would succeed. Kublai Khan learned that the truth was true and expected that he would win. Suddenly, the evil one came south and summoned him to return north. He refused to return immediately, so he said to the generals: "I am ordered to come here, how can I retreat without success?" So he climbed Xianglu Mountain and overlooked the river.
There is Wuhu Lake in the north of the river, Yangluo Fort in the east of Wuhu Lake, and Huhuangzhou on the south bank. The Song army used a large boat to cross the army, and the army was very strong. Kublai Khan said in a slight manner: "The people from the north use horses and the people from the south use boats. This is a good thing." As soon as he finished speaking, a general flashed aside and said: "The Yangtze River is natural danger. Song relies on this to establish a country and will definitely defend it. Our army will not be able to show its power. The last general is willing to go and try it!" When Kublai Khan saw it, it was Dong Wenbing, and nodded and praised it.
Dong Wenbing immediately ran straight down the mountain and ordered his younger brother Dong Wenzhong and Dong Wenyong to lead hundreds of death-death soldiers to cross the river on a large ship and drum boat. He led the cavalry army to fight along the coast. The Song army was stationed on land and land, with no less than tens of thousands. When the Mongolian soldiers arrived, they collapsed before the war. Wenbing brothers advanced together inland and land, killing the Song army to escape from the east and hide, and ran away without a life. In an instant, the two sides were cleared and the Mongolian soldiers crossed the river. When Kublai Khan led his troops to take over, Dong Wenbing and others had already crossed the river. The next day, all the Mongolian troops crossed the river, marched into Ezhou, and divided their troops to break through Linjiang. The prefect Chen Yuangui died. He turned to Duanzhou. The prefect Chen Changshi, the people loved him forever and refused to let him die. They hugged him out of the city and fled south.
Right Prime Minister Ding Daquan was at the beginning and was not allowed to report it. When he arrived in the capital, everyone could not hide it. Then he reported the military information and begged for retirement. Zhao Yun then dismissed Ding Daquan as the Grand Secretary of Guanwen Hall and sentenced Zhenjiang Prefecture. The Secretariat of the Secretariat Hong Qinqin, the Censor Zhu Pisun and others successively summoned him to make trouble. Zhao Yun issued an edict to order him to become an official.
He summoned Wu Qian as the left prime minister and the Privy Councilor. He also sent silver coins from the inner palace to reward soldiers and ordered troops to fight against the enemy.
Zhao Yun gave the right prime minister to Jia Sidao, and ordered him to march into Hanyang and reinforce Ezhou. Dong Songchen saw that the border reports were urgent, so he actually asked Zhao Yun to move the capital to Siming to avoid the enemy's edge. He Ziju, the eunuch of the military weapon, reported to Wu Qian, and said, "If the Luanyu leaves, what should I rely on?" Wu Qian immediately entered the court to advise him, and Zhu Pisun also wrote a letter to persuade him. Zhao Yun hesitated, and Empress Xie insisted on staying and calming the people's hearts, and then the move to the capital was suspended. Wen Tianxiang, the judge of the Ninghai Army, wrote a memorial to be beheaded Dong Songchen, but he stayed at the center. Zhang Shengri, the deputy commander of Ezhou, sat in a besieged city. Seeing that reinforcements did not come, he climbed the city to deceive the enemy soldiers and said, "This city has been occupied by you, but your children are all on the generals, so you can go there." The Mongolian soldiers believed it true, so they burned the houses outside the city and moved the army to go.
The commander of Xiangyang, Gundam, led troops to support, and Jia Sidao also entered Hanyang, in response. Zhang Sheng repaired the city again, and the Mongolian general Tanchebaduer led his troops to attack. He sent an envoy to Ezhou City and questioned him of breach of contract. Zhang Sheng would kill him in the future and attack the Mongolian camp. Who knew that Tanchebaduer had already been prepared. When Zhang Sheng arrived, he would envoy him to surround him. Zhang Sheng rushed left and right and could not escape, and knew that he would die, so he died.
Fortunately, all heavy troops from all walks of life came to help Hubei. Lu Wende, Xiang Shibi, Cao Shixiong and others came out of the city one after another and asked Jia Sidao to supervise the battle. Jia Sidao heard that the army gathered and came boldly. Gundam was brave and looked down on Sidao very much. He once said to the generals: "He has a strong crown and a broad belt. Do you know what military information is, and it is better to supervise the military horse?" Therefore, when he opened a camp to fight, Jia Sidao had to personally send troops, and then send troops, otherwise he would often send soldiers to the military gate.
When Lu Wende flattered Jia Sidao, he asked someone to stop and said, "Xuanfu is here, why are you rioting?" Therefore, Jia Sidao is close to Lu Wende and hates Gao Da. There are also Cao Shixiong and Xiang Shibi, and look down on Jia Sidao, and he does not report any actions. Jia Sidao also secretly holds grudges. He is resisting the enemy here, but suddenly the court issued an edict ordering Jia Sidao to move his army to Huangzhou. It turned out that the Mongolian general Wuliang Hetai attacked Tanzhou, and Jiangxi was in great shock.
The left prime minister Wu Qian adopted the words of the Censor Rao Yingyu, saying that Ezhou had gathered heavy troops and should be fine. It would be better to ask Jia Sidao to change his defense against Huangzhou. Huangzhou was in a dire situation in Ezhou, just as the two lakes and Jiangxi were at the forefront. If the Mongolian soldiers crossed the lake and went out of the river, Huangzhou would be in a tight position. Jia Sidao knew that he was taking risks, but had received the order and had to go. Commander Sun Huchen led seven hundred elite cavalry to send Jia Sidao to Pingzhuan, and received the detective cavalry into the report: "The Northern Army is here."
Jia Sidao was so scared that he said to Sun Huchen: "What should I do? What should I do?" Sun Huchen said: "Don't be anxious if I am in a hurry! Wait until the last general will resist for a while, and then make a fool of himself!" Jia Sidao stammered and said: "Our army has only 700 cavalry, which is probably not enough to meet the enemy." Sun Huchen saw that his face was like earth, and he knew that he could not supervise the battle, so he said: "Please retreat for the time being, I will intercept it!" Jia Sidao then said: "You must be careful!" Huchen led his troops to go.
Jia Sidao ran back several miles, picked up a secluded place, and hid for the time being, and said tremblingly: "I'm dead and dead! It's a pity that I don't understand." He finally came to dusk and dared to come out to visit him. Seeing several cavalry coming, he reported: "Sun Tongzhi has won, captured one enemy general, and has now gone to Huangzhou first. Please enter the city!" Jia Sidao turned his worries and joy and rushed to Huangzhou overnight.
