Chapter 362 Variables
According to Lin Chen's identity in the secret realm, he is an orphan picked up and raised by Guo Xiang.
Naturally, Guo Fu is no stranger to Lin Chen.
She treated him as her own brother.
Hearing this, Guo Xiang sighed.
Sister, this time my sister came to you because of my disciple's intention.
After all.
Guo Xiang felt a headache when she thought of what her disciple had done during this period of time.
When Guo Xiang explained her intention, Guo Fu was stunned.
What? !
In Guo Fu's memory, Lin Chen was a child who loved to laugh and look good.
But she didn't expect that such a little guy secretly recruited tens of thousands of troops and went down the river? !
Obviously, Guo Xiang's words made Guo Fu fall into a kind of doubt in life.
"Xiang sister, are you kidding?"
Guo Fu was still a little unbelievable.
After Guo Xiang nodded in affirmation, Guo Fu rubbed her eyebrows, as if she had a headache.
"So, Lin Chen, that kid, wants to borrow these anti-Mongol heroes?"
Guo Fu has also changed from a naive person to a qualified superior over the years.
Naturally, she can see why her sister Guo Xiang came to find her.
Obviously, Lin Chen intends to regain the anti-Mongol heroes for his own use.
"That's right."
Guo Xiang nodded.
However, after thinking for a moment, Guo Fu shook her head and refused.
"Sister Xiang, these anti-Mongol heroes are all for the people, not for private fights."
The implication.
Guo Fu cannot use these heroes as pawns in a fight between some forces!
Now, Guo Fu only wants to cooperate with the Southern Song army to jointly resist the invasion of Mongolia from the south and protect the rivers and mountains of the Song Dynasty.
If not, the entire south will be devastated and fall into an irreversible situation!
Guo Xiang was not surprised by her elder sister's answer, but murmured:
"I didn't expect that my sister is really the same as Lin Chen said..."
"What is the same?"
Guo Fu was startled when she heard the words, and couldn't help but become curious.
It turns out!
Guo Xiang came to Guo Fu this time on her own initiative.
Before she came, Lin Chen said that Guo Fu's righteous men could not be used by him.
The reason is very simple.
What these righteous men seek is for the common people.
Now the only one who can represent the common people is the Southern Song Dynasty, even if this court is rotten to the core.
And for Lin Chen, these anti-Mongol righteous men are actually not a very important force.
After all, he knows what will happen next, and this is the key.
At the same time, the Mongolian army, which has been gathering strength for a long time, finally moved.
Kublai Khan ordered Song surrendered general Lu Wenhuan to be the vanguard, commanding more than 100,000 people by land and sea, and marching eastward along the Yangtze River.
On the Song side, there were originally 170,000 soldiers guarding the Yangtze River.
Especially after the wing troops recruited in the rear arrived, the total number reached more than 200,000!
The officials in the Southern Song Dynasty felt that such a natural barrier would definitely be able to stop the Mongolian army!
However!
In just a few days, many Song troops along the Yangtze River surrendered!
Some former subordinates of Lü Wenhuan even urged prefectures and cities to open their cities and surrender.
As a result, the Yangtze River, which the Southern Song Dynasty regarded as a natural barrier, collapsed without a fight!
The Mongolian army was able to cross the river smoothly and go south.
It's ridiculous.
Kublai Khan did not spend a single soldier this time, but instead surrendered 200,000 Southern Song soldiers!
When this news came out, the Southern Song court was shocked.
Even the Southern Song emperor, who did not care about state affairs, left the harem for the first time in a long time, reprimanded Jia Sidao, and ordered him to rebuild the defense line to stop the Mongolian army.
However.
At the beginning of the first month of the twelfth year of the Yuan Dynasty.
The Mongolian army arrived in Huangzhou, and Chen Yi, the deputy envoy of the Yangtze River, surrendered.
On the eleventh day, Guan Jingmo, the garrison commander of Qizhou, surrendered.
On the thirteenth day, Lü Shikui, the Song Dynasty's supervisor of Jiangzhou Xingguo Palace, and Qian Zhensun, the Jiangxi pacification envoy and the governor of Jiangzhou, sent people to welcome the surrendering Yuan army.
On the 14th, the Mongolian vanguard arrived in Jiangzhou, and Ye Chang, the governor of Nankang Army of the Song Dynasty, surrendered the city. Fan Wenhu, the governor of Anqing Prefecture, sent people to Jiangzhou with wine and food to welcome the Yuan army.
On the first day of February, the Mongols arrived in Anqing Prefecture, and the governor Fan Wenhu surrendered the city...
It is no exaggeration to say.
Kublai Khan encountered almost no obstacles when he went south this time!
A large number of Southern Song officials surrendered, basically without any resistance.
In less than two months, a quarter of the territory of the entire Southern Song Dynasty fell into the hands of Mongolia.
This time.
The court of the Southern Song Dynasty was completely unable to sit still.
The gentlemen thought that they could sit back and relax and resist Mongolia by gathering more than 600,000 troops.
Unexpectedly, reality slapped their faces so cruelly.
However, there is something even more absurd.
These civil officials in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty are still frantically impeaching Jia Sidao for harming the country, as if they want to put all the blame on Jia Sidao.
Especially Jia Sidao's political enemies, they were filled with righteous indignation and made impassioned speeches, thinking that they could take this opportunity to force this prime minister to step down.
Everyone was arguing in the court, no one was thinking about how to save the country from danger, they were all here for their own selfish interests, attacking each other!
Don't even think about it.
If Jia Sidao stepped down at this moment, who could resist the Mongolian army? !
In fact, among the civil officials in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty, Jia Sidao was already one of the few who knew about military affairs.
Without Jia Sidao, those other people who talked big would only be more unbearable!
So.
Under great pressure, Jia Sidao vowed to raise 130,000 elite naval forces to compete with Mongolia.
This battle.
Not only did Jia Sidao summon 130,000 elite naval forces, but also more than 200,000 Southern Song wing troops cooperated.
It seems like a battle will decide the outcome.
However, Kublai Khan was amused when he heard the news.
"Child."
These three words are a comment on Jia Sidao.

On the other side.
Lin Chen, who had not shown any movement for a long time, looked at the intelligence report in his hand with an indifferent expression and whispered to himself:
"Is it finally here?"
According to the original history.
Jia Sidao will lead the last living force of the Southern Song Dynasty to fight a decisive battle with Mongolia.
However, this so-called decisive battle is so childish and careless.
Lin Chen shook his head lightly, and his eyes fell on a place on the map, Dingjiazhou.
The so-called Dingjiazhou is a small island located on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Its geographical location is very critical and controls the key points of the surrounding waters.
Therefore, the Southern Song Dynasty set up a pass here and deployed heavy troops.
This is why Jia Sidao wanted to compete with the Mongolian army here.
If he could stop Kublai Khan's advance here, there would be more to fight later.
At this moment, Dingjiazhou is full of flags.
A large number of Southern Song naval fleets are docked here.
There are also countless military camps on the shore in the back.
Jia Sidao is indeed quite capable.
The navy is in front, and the wing troops are lined up on the shore, echoing each other from afar.
Although the Mongolian cavalry has terrible combat power, the Southern Song Dynasty can still win by relying on the cooperation of the navy.
Moreover.
This cricket prime minister also got a piece of information today.
It is said that the descendants of the Guo family led the righteous men to find out the Mongolian navy information.
However, Jia Sidao did not take it seriously when he heard it, and just asked his men to drive away the so-called righteous men.
"How can a group of warriors who only know how to fight and kill get the news of the Mongolian navy?"
After that, Jia Sidao continued to fiddle with his General Jinwei, and was still interested in fighting a cricket with his followers.
When Guo Fu heard the news that the anti-Mongol heroes had paid countless lives for this, and Jia Sidao didn't even look at them, her face was very interesting.
When she learned that Jia Sidao had sent envoys to beg for peace, she was heartbroken.
Everything was developing as planned.
The only difference was the variable of Lin Chen.
Along with it, a huge fleet was quietly sailing down the Yangtze River, hiding during the day and coming out at night.
