Chapter 240 Historical Trajectory
He spent his time in front of the gates of hell, and when he thought about it, his heart was still full of emotion. Without experiencing such things, it was difficult to know the preciousness of life and the beauty of this world.
Wen Tianxiang and others were full of gladness.
Now that Zhao Dongting has returned, they finally let down their hearts.
These days, they always think that Zhao Dongting may never come back, and they can't stop feeling like the sky is about to collapse.
Before he knew it, Zhao Dongting had a very high prestige in the hearts of these civil and military officials of the Southern Song Dynasty. The entire court was strongly gathered because of him.
Soon, the servants from the government office came up with wine and food.
But at this moment, a guard suddenly came to report, "The military order, two people asked for a meeting outside the door."
The guard was not a gatekeeper, and he didn't know what Zhao Dongting came back. It was not until he suddenly saw Zhao Dongting sitting directly above the hall that he hurriedly fell to the ground, "Kow to the Emperor!"
The incident of Zhao Dongting going to Baicao Valley was a secret and did not spread in the army at all, for fear of causing unstable morale.
"Get up!"
Zhao Dongting was in a good mood at this time and was smiling.
The guard looked up at Zhao Dongting, stood up, and said, "Your Majesty, are you not seeing those two?"
Zhao Dongting's heart moved slightly, thinking, I'm afraid it would be Jun Tianfang and the girl in white?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "Are those two people a middle-aged man in green and a beautiful girl in white?"
The guard was a little surprised and then replied, "This is what the guard told me."
Zhao Dongting was slightly happy and said, "Go and invite them in."
Thinking about it, he said again: "Wait, don't tell me about my here."
As he said that, he looked at Wen Tianxiang, "Military order, you will meet them later. See what they say."
Although Wen Tianxiang was full of doubts, he still nodded.
Zhao Dongting didn't even bother to eat, so he ordered Le Wuchen, Zhao Da and Zhao Hu, and walked out of the hall and towards the side hall next to him.
He also wanted to see that Jun Tianfang and the girl in white found Wuzhou from the banks of Dong'an River, and Pingnan County from Wuzhou, just to see Wen Tianxiang, what exactly is the matter?
Soon, the guard brought the two of them to the outside of the main hall just now. It was indeed Jun Tianfang and the girl in white.
Wen Tianxiang met two people at the entrance of the hall.
The guard said, "This is the military order."
The girl in white gave a gift.
Jun Tianfang said, "Military Order, isn't the Emperor here?"
Wen Tianxiang was slightly surprised and pondered: "The emperor is not in Pingnan County. Are you two trying to see the emperor?"
Jun Tianfang sighed, looked at the girl in white next to him, and said, "This is the granddaughter of Mr. Zhang Jue, the commander of Sichuan. Chongqing has been lost."
"Is Chongqing lost?"
Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but be shocked.
He has not received this news yet in Pingnan County.
Originally, the Song Dynasty court was almost paralyzed, and only a few of the respective troops in the country were still resisting the Yuan army. Chongqing Prefecture belonged to Kuizhou Road, where Zhang Jue resisted the Yuan army. Even the Mongolian Khan Mengge, who had been attacking Kuizhou Road for a long time, was injured and died at Diaoyu City. Zhang Jue was also known as a tiger general in Sichuan and had a high prestige among the military and civilians.
In recent years, Chongqing Prefecture has not fallen and has been constantly resisting the invasion of the Yuan army. Unexpectedly, it has suddenly fallen.
The girl in white's eyes turned red.
Wen Tianxiang's face gradually turned pale and he asked again: "What about Lord Zhang?"
Jun Tianfang's face was also not very good-looking, and he said, "When I left the city, Chongqing Mansion had already run out of food. Zhang Jue was afraid...ah..."
He and Zhang Jue have been friends for many years, but even though they have unique skills, they cannot resist the iron hoof of the Yuan army. In the face of the army, their personal strength is slight.
Wen Tianxiang was stunned for a long time when he heard this.
In the hall, Su Quandang, Yue Peng and others also looked ugly.
I originally thought of stabilizing Guangnan West Road, and then went to help Kuizhou Prefecture, but unexpectedly, Kuizhou Prefecture suddenly fell at this time.
This made the Song Dynasty in danger, and the great victory that had just won on Guangnan West Road was also equalized by the Yuan Dynasty.
The hall fell silent.
When the Song Dynasty was in Qianzhou, there were still folk heroes or the wing soldiers in the imperial court like sparks, constantly resisting the Yuan army and blocking the invasion of the Yuan army. Now, the army and horses on Jinghu South Road, Fujian Road, and Kuizhou Road have been broken, Guangnan East Road is in danger, and the righteous soldiers in Tongchuan Road and Chengdu Road are gradually disappearing.
After all, the Song Dynasty court was too weak, and the speed of recovering lost land was far less rapid than the speed of the Yuan army invasion.
Wen Tianxiang and others can all realize the seriousness of the matter.
At this time, Jun Tianfang suddenly said: "Please order military aircraft to send troops to Chongqing... Zhang Jue may still be defending the death."
He himself said the following sentence very unconfidence.
Zhang Jue asked him to take his granddaughter to Wuzhou to report the news, and then to Pingnan. He knew that it was a report, but it was actually equivalent to entrusting an orphan. It has been more than a month since he set out from Chongqing Prefecture. Chongqing has lost food and hopes of being able to hold on for such a long time are quite slim.
But if he didn't go, he was unwilling to accept it. He still had hope in his heart without seeing Chongqing Prefecture destroyed with his own eyes.
Wen Tianxiang's face showed bitterness when he heard this.
He said slowly: "I don't help you, it's really... the soldiers just experienced hard battles, and the army's food and supplies were not enough, this..."
If the situation allowed, he would have asked Zhao Dongting to send troops to attack Jinghu South Road, Kuizhou Road and other places. However, the war consumed not only manpower, but also material resources. Even though the Song army was unstoppable in Guangnan West Road and annihilated Ali Hague, this battle that lasted for more than half a year also emptied all the wealth that the Song Dynasty had finally accumulated.
At present, the Song Dynasty no longer has the energy to take the initiative to launch a war and urgently needs rest and rest.
This is also the reason why Wen Tianxiang was shocked when he heard that Kuizhou Road was lost. Because Kuizhou Road was broken, Guangxi South Road might not be peaceful.
Boyan from Guangnan East Road asked Kong Yuan to lead his army to attack Wuzhou, but suffered heavy damage. The rebels in the territory were wiped out again, and they might not have time to attack Guangnan West Road again. But it is difficult to say that the Yuan army on Kuizhou Road was that it would be impossible for them to suddenly send troops to Guangnan West Road. At that time, the Song Dynasty court would be very passive.
Most areas of Guangxi South Road are in ruins, only Leizhou and Qiongzhou are still stable, but the area of just two states cannot support the entire logistics.
Zhao Dongting has only been more than a year since his vigorous development in Leizhou, and the people of Leizhou have just been able to have enough food.
Jun Tianfang's eyes were slightly depressed when he heard Wen Tianxiang say this.
