Using military weapons to aid Zhao Song as a southern barrier for the Tang Dynasty was obviously a good deal.

First of all, before the Central Plains was restored, the Tang Kingdom would never take the initiative to attack the Song Dynasty, as it would hurt the legal basis of the Tang Kingdom's anti-Yuan rule and arouse the Han people all over the world to reject the Tang Kingdom.

The Mongolian Yuan is so powerful that you have some strength to attack Song just now, allowing the Han forces to kill each other, and let the Mongolian Yuan be a joke. It seems that your Duke of Tang has just raised an army for his own ambitions.

Zhao Liangqin was a cousin of Song Lizong, a real Zhao Song royal family. His father Zhao Biling was still the former Song Shangzhu Kingdom and the Minister of Taichang Temple. Therefore, Zhao Liangqin was not a sage-headed emperor like Xiao Yin, and he was fully qualified to inherit the throne of Zhao Song.

It can be seen from the fact that he and the old and the young and the ones fought to join us that the small court in Guangzhou was recognized.

The Zhao Song Dynasty was less than ten years ago. Because the rule of the Mongol Yuan was too cruel, the people still care about the Song Dynasty. This is a fact.

It is simple to conquer Zhao and Song, but it will make Li Luo lose the hearts of the Han people.

But if the Tang Kingdom did not destroy the Song Dynasty, the current strength of the Guangzhou small court would be destroyed by the Mongol Yuan. Once the Mongol Yuan destroyed the small court, it would be able to attack the Tang Kingdom through two routes, including the north to Jiangxi and the east to Fujian, forcing the Tang Kingdom to divide its troops into the south.

Therefore, the most cost-effective strategy is to support the small court in Guangzhou, use it as a barrier to disperse the Yuan army's attack on Tang. The Tang army can also use Guangdong Road as a battlefield by continuously sending troops to aid the Song Dynasty, so as not to let the war burn the territory of the Tang Kingdom.

The Yuan court could never tolerate Zhao Song's continued existence, and it was impossible for Zhao Song to not fight. This fight would require division of troops.

Although the Tang, Liang and Song dynasties destroyed a large number of Yuan troops after the rebellion, the main ones were the traitor army. The real Mongolian cavalry only lost 20,000, while the Semu cavalry lost only 50,000.

The Southern Yuan Army is still very powerful.

There are more than 100,000 troops in Timur, more than 100,000 elite troops in the king of Yunnan attacked Myanmar, tens of thousands of Dali soldiers under the command of Duan, at least 100,000 chieftains and barbarian soldiers in various departments, as well as 30,000 traitors in Liangjiang Road, Guangxi, 30,000 traitors in Yunnan Province, and 70,000 traitors in Sichuan Province!

In total, the total force that the Yuan court could mobilize in the south was still as high as more than 600,000, of which more than 100,000 cavalry!

This is not counting the 100,000 troops stationed in Annan and 30,000 troops stationed in Zhanpo.

It is not as if tens of thousands of Tubo cavalry could rush down the plateau and enter Sichuan at any time.

Not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of Mongolian Seminary Iron Cavalry and hundreds of thousands of traitors in the north.

If Naiyan did not rebel, then he would also include the 100,000 cavalry of Liaodong. In addition, Goryeo could also draw 100,000 troops.

After this calculation, the Yuan court could mobilize at least 1.4 million troops, half of which were cavalry!

If the war is serious and Kublai Khan and several major Khanate set aside conflicts and jointly deal with the Tang Kingdom, then hundreds of thousands of cavalry will come to the east!

This is just counting the existing forces of the Yuan court. What if the Yuan court recruits new soldiers? If the Yuan court recruits large-scale recruitment, then hundreds of thousands will be added!

As the enemy is so powerful, the Tang Kingdom needs time to digest the newly restored territory. Then it is necessary for Zhao Song and Xiao Liang to exist.

Zhao Song took the assistance from the Tang Kingdom and occupied Guangdong Road. Whether they wanted to or not, they would block the Yuan army from the south for the Tang Kingdom, and the pressure of the Tang army would be reduced.

Therefore, Li Luo generously lent 500,000 stones of grain to the small court for recruitment.

Luo Su was overjoyed when Li Luo was so generous, so he could only thank him and burst into tears. Finally, Luo Su returned with a full load of satisfaction.

Li Luo was not wrong. After receiving the assistance from the Tang State, Zhao Song immediately recruited troops and recovered the 36 prefectures and counties in Guangdong Road. But this is a story later.

…………

"Mr. Tang did not disappoint me. Meiling has won a great victory!" Nangan City was very excited to receive the news, "Demon Zhang has more than 100,000 troops. He is captured and will be taken to Lin'an to execute him!"

At this time, Xu Ke really thinks Li Luo is a good person, a great person.

The guards were also very happy, "Donald Tang is going to rescue Daliang?"

Thank you, Duke Tang nodded: "Don't know the truth that the lips and teeth are dead. He will definitely rescue Daliang! Thank God, Duke Tang finally won, and there is hope for anti-Yuan!"

The guards said, "Daliang is saved!"

Is Daliang saved? After hearing this, I sneered in my heart. Even if Daliang is saved, it will only survive. The Tartars cannot destroy Daliang. When the Tang Kingdom becomes stronger, Daliang will be destroyed sooner or later.

There can only be one master in the world, let alone the south?

But as long as the anti-Yuan is successful, she doesn't care whether Daliang is destroyed or not. Whoever can drive away the Tartars is qualified to occupy the world. This is her reason.

As he was about to see Li Luo, a guard of the Tang Kingdom came on his own initiative and said, "Princess, the emperor has an order. He promised the princess to lead a large army to fight westward in Huguang and let the princess travel with him."

"Really!" Thank you for your hard work, your eyes were bright and your spirits were flying. "Huru Timur! You wait! Mr. Tang personally fought, you can just wait for death!"

The little duke raised his two little pink fists tightly, "Go! Go and see Mr. Tang!"

Why did Li Luo take the initiative to attack Timur? Because he didn't want to fight in his territory. Secondly, he could get Xiao Yin's support when fighting in Huguang. Hudu Timur would be attacked in the abdomen, which would help reduce the casualties of the Tang army.

At this time, Li Luo had returned to Nangan City.

"Master..." As soon as I saw Li Luo, I burst into tears. "Nu Nu is really worried about his master. Fortunately, his master turned bad luck into good luck, and Demon Zhang could not beat his master..."

The little thing became childish as soon as he arrived in front of Li Luo.

Li Luo smiled and said, "I promised you that if you defeat Zhang Hongfan, you will rescue Liang Guo. Didn't you lie?"

Thank you for your hard work, the pear blossoms burst into tears and smiled, and the chicken nodded like a rice pecking at it. But then you shook your head repeatedly, looking very embarrassed.

Li Luo held back his laughter, "Why shake his head?"

Thank you: "Nu Nu hopes his master will rescue Jiangling, but Hudu Timur is very powerful. Nu Nu is worried about his master's safety and does not want his master to take risks..."

Li Luo laughed loudly, he was really amused by the hard work.

My sister-in-law, it’s really a waste of you if you don’t act.

"Don't worry, Hudu Timur can't do anything to his master!" Li Luo said "comfort", "The master is very lucky."

Thank you for your hard work, "The master is a great man, God will bless the master. Nunu will also ask the Queen Guanyin every day to bless the master's safety."

Yang Ju, the captain of the guard next to him, couldn't help but shake his head secretly. This little girl is so good at pretending.

On August 2, the Tang army had been prepared for another war. Li Luo personally led an army of 120,000, and only brought one month's military rations north, from Mufu Valley to the west, and entered Huguang.

At the same time, Mrs. Xu, Chen Shuzhen, Shang Zhu and Yinnan led a 50,000 army to invade Fujian and regained Fujian's emptiness. Wen Tianxiang led 30,000 troops to guard Jiangxi and presided over the overall situation of Jiangxi.

The people of Jiangxi and Jiangsu and Zhejiang received news of Li Luo's victory, and were filled with joy everywhere, and many people were even excited and burst into tears.

"Your victory! A great victory!"

"Zhang Hongfan's 200,000 troops were beaten to death!"

"I am a great victory in Tang! The king is mighty! In Meiling, he will kill 300,000 Tartars!"

"Have you heard that Zhang Hongfan was defeated, and the king destroyed 500,000 Tartars in one battle..."

News of the Meiling Victory spread like a wind. More than 20 million people in Jiangxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang finally let go of their uneasy hearts and their spirits suddenly rose. Li Luo's prestige also reached several levels.

This battle stabilized the hearts of the people in the Liangjiang area and exerted the prestige of the Tang Kingdom. The people's sense of identity with the Tang Kingdom soared. Tang's rule in the Liangjiang area had truly begun to consolidate.

However, local officials of the Yuan court who learned the news were trembling and lost their parents. Especially in the later Hunan, which was close to Jiangxi, the powerful and evil gentry were in full swing to train the local heroes of the militia.

At the suggestion of Zhang Puxian, the general manager of Tanzhou Road, Huketmoor, the envoy of Xuanwei of Hunan Road stationed in Tanzhou (Changsha), even ordered the powerful men of the 9th Road and 3rd prefectures of Hunan Road... Xiang Yong!

That's right, it's Xiangyong. Because Hunan Road is the land of the three Hunan provinces, it has been collectively known as Xiangchu and later Hubei since ancient times. The people of Hunan Road were also called Hunan people for a long time.

When Li Luo learned that Hunan Road was trained in the Hunan Army, he couldn't help but curse himself.

Damn... The Mongol Yuan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Southern Ming Dynasty, and I didn't see you, the editor-in-chief of Hunan, train the Hunan Army to resist. Lao Hong and I made rebellion from the alien race, but you jumped out to train the Hunan Army!

Wait until I hit Hunan Road and see if my knife is fast or not.

Cui Xiuning had already received news in the Phoenix Mountain Palace. However, she didn't need to worry about the war, as it was expected.

The woman sat in the side hall of the bedroom to correct memorials. She needed to deal with the food for relief, what materials the fleet would transport, how to determine the commercial taxes in various places, how to appoint officials, and the operation of the special service agencies of the Special Inspectorate Bureau...

"Madam." Li Yao came in to report, "The Yuan court has ordered the dispatch of warships stationed in Japan to return to China. The Japanese garrison should receive news at this time."

Cui Xiuning asked: "How many warships are there?"

Li Zhi said: "The Japanese country originally stored the wood for shipbuilding, and hundreds of ships have been built in the past two years."

Cui Xiuning thought for a while, "Import Zheng He immediately, so that he would not have to come to see me, and quickly lead 20,000 naval troops to the north to intercept the Yuan court's warships. Then tell Zheng He that by the way, they will also destroy the Jianghua Navy, and they may help the Yuan court."

"No!" Li Zhi took the order and said, "There is another thing. Ma Yang Hanming, a county in Bozhou, sent a message saying that he was ready. His younger brother was ready to dispatch an army of 50,000 to join forces with the Tian family of Sizhou to help the Yuan court attack our Tang. Within one month at the latest, Bozhou will send troops. Yang Hanming asked for instructions, would he take action?"

Cui Xiuning said: "Since you are ready and Bozhou is going to send troops again, then take action immediately. But after telling the county horse that he would get the power of the chieftain, he would still join forces with the Tian family to send troops, and then..."

Li Zhi smiled, "Madam Gao Ming. Tian is a loyal son of the Yuan court and just happened to be destroyed."

Cui Xiuning pondered for a moment, "Notify Mrs. Xu, who attacked Fujian, and ask her to draw the three thousand most elite She troops, and hand them over to Zong Zhou to lead them to Bozhou to help Yang Hanming control the barbarians."

"promise!"

Cui Xiuning asked again: "Is there any news from the person who was placed in the Dali Duan General Office?"

Li Zhi replied: "There is news, but it doesn't matter. Duan must have sent troops. But he was very slow to prepare and it is estimated that it will be difficult to attack my Tang within three months."

Cui Xiuning said: "Wuketmoor and Zhang Puxian from Hunan Road are training the Hunan Army. Do you know what to do?"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, everyone is preparing. Twenty people are reliable, and they are all from Hunan. With their ability, they will soon stand out once they apply for the recruitment."

Cui Xiuning nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, go down and do your business. The focus is the information of the Yuan army in Huguang. Every move must be reported to you quickly at any time."

When Li Zhi left, Cui Xiuning found out the information about the southern toast and couldn't help but frown.

There are too many chieftains in Huguang, Yunnan and Sichuan. They are almost all ordered by the Yuan court.

Even if each chieftain only sends a few thousand troops, he can gather 100,000 fierce barbarian soldiers.

However, it was difficult to take the initiative to attack them because the terrain was too unfavorable to the Tang army.

But it was easy for them to come to the southeast to fight the Tang army.

I hope everything goes well with my brother-in-law Yang Hanming. Otherwise, the southwest chieftain alone would be enough for Tang Guo to have a headache.
To be continued...
