Wen Tianxiang and Wen were already ready early in the Dasong Zhenbei Military Region and Su Quandang, the Fujian Military Region.

The entire line along the border between the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, heavy troops were arranged in each city.

In addition to the Jiangling Prefecture garrison, Su Quandang and Liu Zaiyuan led Tiangang and Tianli armies to garrison. At the same time, Wen Qi also led the Changde garrison army to arrive soon.

In Ezhou City, He Fangsong, Jin Hao and Jiang Xiu commanded Tianying, Tianfu and Tianman.

On the west side of Jiangnan, there is the Longxing Prefecture Guarding Military Region, and there are also the three armies of Tianan, Tianyou and Tianxing under Wen Tianxiang's command.

On the Jianning Prefecture, Fujian Road, Wen Tianxiang led Tiansu, Tianyi, and Tiankhao three armies to guard the guard.

On the coastline not far from Jianning Prefecture, there is also Fuzhou. There are more than 10,000 Fuzhou garrison troops in Fuzhou City.

It can be said that half of the troops of the Song Dynasty gathered here. If the defenders of each city were included, there would be more than 150,000.

It can be imagined that if a war begins, it will inevitably be a earth-shaking scene.

Just two days later, the Yuan army that had originally gathered in Xiangyang City rushed straight to Changlin County, which was the closest city to the Song Dynasty to the north of Jiangling Prefecture.

If the Yuan army took it down, it would inevitably attack Jiangling Prefecture.

Their strategies are completely different from those of Xinsong and Dali. They are extremely aggressive.

After Su Quandang learned that the Yuan army was rushing towards Changlin, he immediately summoned the generals to discuss at the military camp.

If Changlin is lost, the Yuan army will stop in the Song Dynasty and will hit the morale of the Song Dynasty. Obviously, he is not willing to let the Yuan army capture Changlin in this way.

On the same day, Su Quandang personally led Tiangang, Tianli and Wenqi's Changde garrison troops to leave Jiangling Prefecture and head for Changlin County. Only Jiangling garrison troops were stationed in Jiangling Prefecture.

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were never afraid of bloody battles.

There are countless examples of them winning with fewer and more.

Although the Yuan army rushed down from Xiangyang was 150,000, it was obviously not invincible in Su Quandang's eyes.

As the most outstanding Qingrui faction in the army, his style is far bolder and harder than the veterans of Miao Youli.

Thirty thousand troops pushed the food and grass and rushed to Changlin in a mighty manner. By then, the Yuan army had not arrived yet. The distance from Xiangyang to Changlin was far greater than the distance from Jiangling to Changlin.

When the magistrate of Changlin County learned that Su Quandang led his army to arrive, he was very excited and hurriedly led all the officials to the city gate to greet him.

He was going to invite Su Quandang to the government office for a banquet, but Su Quandang said, "At this time, the Yuan army was rushing towards Changlin. At this time, I should be on the top of the city."

It is considered to be a polite rejection of the beautiful wish of the magistrate of Changlin County.

"Su Shuai Dayi."

The magistrate of Changlin County would not miss such a good opportunity to flatter, and all kinds of compliments were like the water of the Yangtze River, surging endlessly.

This is simply a necessary skill for officials in this era.

Su Quandang was in a high position and was already used to it. Just a little greeting, he led the soldiers to the top of the city.

Cats, grenade launchers, etc. were brought to the city.

The food and grass were transported to the military camps in the city.

Changlin County, which originally seemed a little deserted, suddenly became lively. Imperial soldiers were shuttled through everywhere.

Less than two thousand defenders in the city were completely stunned when they saw the equipment of the imperial guards.

They thought that their weapons and armor ratios were already very good. Until now, compared with the imperial guards, they felt like they were beggars.

The standard steel armor that only generals have in their army is available, and everyone in the imperial guards has it. Moreover, it is just light cavalry and infantry. The armor of heavy cavalry in the imperial guards makes the guards' generals even shine in their eyes.

Such a fully armed person is like a human-shaped beast on the battlefield.

Just from this neat armor, the defenders seemed to be able to vaguely imagine the combat effectiveness of the imperial guards.

In just a short while, many people came out.

They helped the soldiers carry arrows, build bunkers, etc. Although there were factors called by the Changlin County Magistrate, more of them were spontaneous.

This is not Kuizhou Road, but it has been recaptured by the Song Dynasty for a long time. Although it is close to the border of the Yuan Dynasty, many of Zhao Dongting's new policies have achieved remarkable results here.

Therefore, the people here are not as blind as the people on Kuizhou Road. They have great centripetal force towards the Song Dynasty court.

The spring rain continues.

The entire city was gradually shrouded in mist and rain.

But there was a scene in full swing on the city.

The people and soldiers ran back and forth.

Only when all the equipment was brought to the city and bunkers were built everywhere in the outer city, Su Quandang allowed the soldiers to rest. On this day, the food in the army was extremely abundant.

In the evening, when the city was filled with fragrance and smoke from cooking, the Yuan army finally arrived outside the city.

Their soldiers looked all over the mountains and fields, and there was no end at all. The dark blockbuster blended with this gloomy world.

There is a sound of horns on the top of the city.

The Tiangang and Tianli soldiers stationed at the top of the city were all focused on looking outside the city.

The Changde Garrison Army of Wenqi was considered a reserve force in the city.

"Prepare for war!"

"Prepare for war!"

The shouts of the Song generals sounded from the city.

However, the Yuan army quickly retreated outside the city. The people all over the mountains gradually disappeared outside the city.

They camped about two miles away from Changlin County.

Obviously, although the Yuan army was coming in full force, it was not eager for quick success and instant benefits to urgently capture Changlin County.

Judging from this situation, they are afraid they will fight steadily. After all, fighting is actually a long-term thing. Unless they are like the Li Jun of Yue, they just want to fight Qiu Feng like a robber.

What Kublai Khan wanted was the entire Song Dynasty.

At this time, the situation was similar to that in Ezhou, Longxing Prefecture, Jianning Prefecture and other places.

The Yuan army on Huainan West Road rushed straight outside Ezhou City, with more than 100,000 troops.

The Yuan army on Jiangnan East Road bypassed Panyang Lake and went straight to Longxing Prefecture from Yugan County.

The Yuan army on Liangzhe East Road also marched into Fujian Road.

Wen Tianxiang, Jin Hao and others had the same choice as Su Quandang, both of whom were leading their troops to resist and had the determination not to allow the Yuan Dynasty to take down any city.

And all of these Yuan troops were not in a hurry to launch an attack.

Obviously, their strategy is to make steady progress.

With their troops, it seems that more than 100,000 Song troops along the northern border could be trapped.

Su Quandang, Wen Tianxiang and others each sent a letter to Changsha City in this situation.

Faced with so many Yuan troops, how to fight, they of course had to ask Zhao Dongting what he meant. After all, Zhao Dongting is currently in control of the overall situation.

The Song family is now very rich and has a different business than before. In war, you can no longer be as casual as before, and you can kill wherever you want.

At this time, the country is attacked from both sides. Whether to actively seek a decisive battle, passive defense, and steady action, is not something Su Quandang and Wen Tianxiang can make the decision.

Because they are not sure what the entire situation in China is now, what they can do is to act according to Zhao Dongting's strategic policy.

A series of carrier pigeons fell into Changsha City.

Changsha Royal Palace Imperial Study Room.

"Your Majesty, there is another urgent report on Fujian Road!"

The little eunuch Yi Shiyu ran over again.

It was already dark outside at this time.

"Enter."

Zhao Dongting's voice came from the Imperial Study Room.

Yi Shiyu nodded to the guard at the door and walked into the house.

Zhao Dongting and Le Chan were sitting on the dragon couch.

Yi Shiyu presents the express report.

"Oh."

Zhao Dongting, who had read the letter, sneered a few times, "It's really coming..."

He had received letters from the northern border one after another, all saying that the Yuan Dynasty's army was approaching. After a little estimate, the Yuan army probably had more than 600,000.

"Do you want to fight steadily or want to move like thunder?" Zhao Dongting murmured. Then he picked up his pen and wrote on the paper, "Now, the Song Dynasty is attacked from three sides. The New Song Dynasty and the Dali army are in Kuizhou and Guangnan West. They are in strange ways. They do not confront our army head-on. They have unpredictable intentions. It is unlikely to end the war in a short time. If the war in the north is deadlocked, it will cause a huge burden on our army's food and supplies. Therefore, I will quickly fight the Yuan army. Although our army is small, they are all elite. I believe you have such strength."

After writing, he folded the letter and handed it to Yi Shiyu, "passing this letter to Fujian Road Administration and County."

He has replied to three such letters, and the content is almost no different.

In fact, the Yuan army was so powerful that the Song Dynasty should have been slow to deal with, but Zhao Dongting was also worried that this was just falling into Kublai and Duan Qilin's thoughts. At the same time, facing the New Song, Dali, Yuan Dynasty, and Song Dynasty, it was indeed difficult to support it for a long time.

Therefore, only by seeking a quick battle and a quick decision is possible, although this is dangerous, it is very likely to relieve the power of the Song Dynasty.

Yi Shiyu took the order and retreated.

Le Chan looked at Zhao Dongting's brows locked deep again, stretched out her hand and gently stroked his eyebrows. She didn't say anything, but there was a look of heartache in her eyes. Zhao Dongting hasn't slept much and she saw it all in her eyes.

He is her favorite man, how could she not feel sorry for him?

Zhao Dongting held Le Chan's hand and turned his head and smiled.

Everything is in vain.
