Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

The [-] Mongolian West Route Army was blocked by Cao Youwen on the front line of the Tianshui Army and could not advance an inch.

When the 20 Mongolian Eastern Route Army arrived at Zhending Mansion, Mao Gui, the privy secretary of the Song Dynasty, led an army of [-] troops to cross the Yellow River, and guarded Xiangzhou, Huaizhou, Xinxiang, Junzhou and other places, blocking the Eastern Route Army. step forward.

Mao Gui's fighting style is extremely fierce, and the typical aggression is like fire.

He sits in Xiangzhou, with [-] infantry directly under him and [-] cavalry, but the [-] cavalry who can be tough and fast on the battlefield will not lose the wind in the slightest.

The two sides fought more than a dozen battles outside the city of Xiangzhou, and Subotai didn't find any advantage.

You must know that Mao Gui is not just the privy envoy of the Song Dynasty. In the plane of the end of the Yuan Dynasty that was changed by Liu Futong, Mao Gui is also the privy envoy of the Ming Dynasty. Seven out of [-] were shot down by him.

Emperor Yuan Shun was beaten by him and fled to Yuyuerhai.

Although Subotai was a famous Mongolian general, Mao Gui was not afraid of him at all.

Mao Gui and Guiyou's East Route Army fought vigorously, but the people of the world did not think highly of him.Because there are too many Mongol cavalry, even if they fail, they can escape back to Yanyun Sixteen States.

If Mao Gui's [-] troops fail, the entire army will be wiped out.

In Jiangnan and other places, both literati and generals thought that Liu Futong was too aggressive.

It's not bad to stand guarding the river at the pass, but to push the army directly to the north bank of the Yellow River is really a bit ambitious and a great success.

However, everyone forgot that there was still a prime minister named Liu Bowen sitting in Lin'an Mansion.

Faced with the fight between Sichuan and Shaanxi and the north bank of the Yellow River, Liu Bowen did not rush to any battlefield, but instead handed over the affairs of state affairs to Jiang Wanli.Jiang Wanli is both a loyal minister and a capable minister, and he has the ability to prevent troubles in the South within a year.

Liu Bowen led the fierce general Liu Zheng, plus five hundred Jingxiang soldiers, left Lin'an City and went straight to Mingzhou.

Daishan Islands.

This archipelago in the sea is lush with trees and has excellent scenery.The entire island is full of murderous intent. When the sea merchants hear the name of the Daishan Islands, they will feel chills in the back of their heads and shudder.

Because the Daishan Islands are the lair of Qu Meng, the chief pirate of the Song Dynasty.

Qu Meng was a native of Dengzhou, Shandong. Because he didn't want to endure the oppression of the tax collectors in the Kingdom of Jin, he led more than a hundred brothers to kill the tax collectors and fled to sea to become pirates.

That year, Qu Meng was 19 years old.

Today, Qu Meng is 40 years old.

It took him 21 years to become the chief executive of pirates in Song and Jin countries.Now on his Daishan Island, there are more than [-] warships and more than [-] pirates.

It seems that there are not many people, but as long as he raises his dragon flag on Daishan Island, within ten days, he can recruit [-] pirates and hundreds of warships.

Knowing that Qu Meng's power is tyrannical, Jin Meng's extremely weak sailors dare not provoke him at all.

Although the navy of the Song Dynasty was powerful, they did not dare to encircle and suppress Qu Meng.The first is that Qu Meng is proficient in water warfare, and the navy may not be able to beat him.

The second is that Qu Bandit also has a way.

Although he plundered merchants, he always stood on the side of the Song Dynasty in the war between Song Jin and Song Meng.

More than ten years ago, Qu Meng cooperated with the navy of the Song Dynasty to take down the Dengzhou Prefecture of the Kingdom of Jin, and burned all the hundreds of warships secretly built by the Kingdom of Jin to conquer the Song Dynasty.

That battle pushed Qu Meng's reputation to the sky.

Frightened by Qu Meng's reputation, Jin Guo sent important officials to recruit for security.He also promised that as long as Qu Meng surrendered, he could serve as the navy marshal of the Kingdom of Jin and command all the navy of the Kingdom of Jin.

Qu Meng laughed loudly and said,
"No matter how high the official position in the Kingdom of Jin is, I don't care about it! I have the blue sky above my head, and my feet are on the sea. I am used to being free on the sea, and my knees are hard. I don't like to kneel and kowtow to people. Please come back!"

In fact, Qu Meng didn't want to be a pirate all his life.He wanted to submit to the Southern Song Dynasty, and he would be satisfied as the commander of a navy in the Southern Song Dynasty.

It's a pity that he did so many things for the Southern Song Dynasty, but he was still regarded as a thief by the civil officials of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Qu Meng's enthusiasm was not responded to, and gradually his heart became cold, so he became his own pirate leader in Daishan Islands with peace of mind.

At the beginning of the second year of Duanping, the Mingzhou Navy and the Quanzhou Navy led hundreds of warships to wander around the outskirts of the Daishan Islands.

When Qu Meng got the notification, his heart trembled, thinking that the Great Song Navy was coming to encircle and suppress him, so he immediately hoisted his dragon flag on the Daishan Islands.

Qu Meng didn't dare to be careless.

If other navy divisions came to encircle him, he would not take it seriously.

The Mingzhou Navy and the Quanzhou Navy are responsible for the protection of ocean trade. They often have fierce battles with pirates and are extremely powerful. The two navy have [-] sailors and more than [-] warships, not Qu Meng's own. The forces directly under it can contend.

Therefore, Qu Meng had to summon the pirates within a thousand miles to fight against these two powerful Song Dynasty navy.

However, before the pirates from other places arrived, Liu Bowen took Liu Zheng to the Daishan Islands.But he didn't wear an official uniform, and Liu Zheng didn't wear a general's uniform either.

Liu Bowen wore a white Taoist robe, a Taoist hat on his head, and a goose feather fan in his hand. He looked celestial, as if Kong Ming was reborn.

Liu Zheng, who was tall and black as iron, stood beside him, like Zhou Cang who had followed the wrong master.

Facing the pirate leader's inquiry, Liu Bowen said in a long voice, "Please tell Master Qu that I, Liu Bowen, are here to pay a visit."

The name of the pirate leader is Wang Dana, and he is also a very clever guy.

Seeing Liu Bowen's extraordinary demeanor and Liu Zheng's mighty resoluteness, he knew that these two guests were not ordinary people.Hearing Liu Bowen's words, Wang Dana was stunned for a moment.

"Liu Bowen, your name is exactly the same as the newly promoted prime minister."

Liu Zheng took a step forward and shouted in a deep voice,

"Bold! This is Liu Bowen, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. You will not be polite when you see him!"

Wang Dana looked at Liu Bowen and asked again, "Are you really the prime minister Liu Bowen?"

Liu Bowen laughed and said, "It's as if it's fake!"

Wang Dana slipped and nearly fell to the ground.

It's not that he is timid, after all, in the era of imperial power, the prime minister is an existence under one person and above ten thousand people.

In addition, he is a pirate, belonging to a thief, while Liu Bowen is an official, or the biggest official, and his attributes are incompatible.

After hurriedly saluting Liu Bowen, Wang Dana ordered the other pirates to treat Liu Bowen with courtesy, and then ran to the row of houses in the center of the island.

Qu Meng lived there.

Running outside Qu Meng's residence, Wang Dana took a deep breath and shouted, "Master Qu, we have a distinguished guest from Daishan Island."

Facing the oppressive Da Song Navy, Qu Meng was very unhappy.

He asked himself that he had always stood on the side of the Song Dynasty, and he sternly refused the Mongols' repeated offers.

It can be said that he is worthy of his identity as a Han Chinese.

But Da Song still regards him as a pirate, which is really chilling.

Because the Great Song Navy did not launch an attack, Qu Meng could only wait and see what happened.He is playing games with his five-year-old daughter in the house.

The daughter rode on his back, riding him like a horse.

The happiness of family union slightly relieved the distress in his heart.

Hearing Wang Dana's voice, he hurriedly let his daughter down to the ground carefully, walked out of the room, looked at Wang Dana and asked,
"But Langlibao and Guojianglong are here?"

Langlibao and Crossing the River Dragon are both pirates, they live on Hengshan Island not far from Daishan Island, and they have thousands of brothers under their command, they have a lifelong friendship with Qu Meng.

That's why Qu Meng asked this question.

"Boss, those two masters haven't arrived yet. The identity of this distinguished guest is absolutely beyond your imagination!"

"Could it be that Mingzhou navy general Shao Long came to persuade me to surrender?"

"Shao Longcai is an official of the sixth grade. Compared with this distinguished guest, he is nothing. Guess again."
