Chapter 260: Solicitation

Zhao Kui, the governor of Yangzhou and Huaidong, was born in the family of the eunuchs, his father Zhao Fang was the envoy of Jinghu when he was alive, and his eldest brother Zhao Fan was also the governor of Jingjiang Prefecture.

The father and son resisted gold when they were young, and now they are resisting Mongolia, and they are all people with outstanding achievements.

Especially this Zhao Kui, who has the talent to stabilize the country, but he is ashamed to pass the imperial examination to enter the office, from the time he was a teenager to go out with his father to now be fifty-two years old. Zhao Kui has fought on the battlefield for more than 30 years in his life, from a small soldier under his father's account to the current official worship of the criminal department, all with real military exploits.

What Zhao Kui admires most in his life is the heroes and heroes with strong martial arts, and some bastards in the Yangzhou Yamen actually put the tiger fighting heroes on death row.

If it weren't for the dying tiger brought back, no one dared to take responsibility, and Li Mu, the real murderer, was pushed out to take the blame, and he Zhao Kui probably wouldn't have seen the real tiger hero.

Although Li Mu suffered a lot of abuse in the prison, he didn't pay much attention to his deep internal strength and thick skin.

The three-day tour of the prison is all about retreat and cultivation. As a result, when Li Mu came out of the prison, he did not languish at all, but was still full of red light and high spirits.

Seeing that Li Mu was well-proportioned and dignified, but he was wearing a tattered military uniform, Zhao Kui, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, thought for a while, and then apologized: "The general has suffered, and the old man is not strict in discipline.

actually let the bastards below do evil, reverse right and wrong, and wronged a hero like the general. However, the general can rest assured, I have already put them in prison and sent them to Chuzhou to see the aftermath. ”

"Lord Shangshu is serious, the lower official is no more than the master of the horse supervisor of Liang County, Luzhou, but he can never afford the title of general. What's more, Xia Guan made a disproportionate move a few days ago, hurting Lord Shangshu's pet, which was really a last resort. I hope Lord Shangshu will bear with me. ”

However, don't look at what Li Mu says beautifully now, in fact, he doesn't think like this in his heart at all.

If the tiger wasn't from the Shang Shu's family, Li Mu might not have to be a hero to fight the tiger and just rescue the Shen family's maids, there was no need to do much at all. Own Yangzhou officials to arrest.

The tiger went to the street, and he was from the Shang Shu's family, and he couldn't see the steward when he asked for help, Li Mu had already made a calculation at that time, and everything was in his expectations.

"Master Li, don't worry. Although this official likes to keep big cats in captivity, but animals are beasts after all, how can they compare to a tiger hero like Lord Li? Besides, if the big cat hurts the people outside, I can't spare it. Since he was beaten to death by Master Li. It also saves the old man's effort. ”

Garrison Huaidong, the right to control the side, it is indispensable to fight against the Mongols in the future, if there is a strong general like Li Mu next to him, he Zhao Kui lost a tiger and what is it.

Now that the city of Liangxian is broken, and Luzhou is trapped and waiting for help, Zhao Kui's mind is alive, and he looks at Li Mu's eyes and shines.

Zhao Kui**'s gaze is similar to the leper Liu who died in his hands. Frightened, Li Mu tightened a certain part of his lower body, and then swallowed his saliva and said, "Lord Shangshu." I really love the people like a son. However, Xia Guan fought before the strength, and your big cat was just unconscious, and he didn't die.

It was hit by the means of cutting off the blood and veins of the lower officials, and the qi and blood were disordered, and the limbs were sore. The clear body is occluded, the gods are lost, and they faint and do not wake up. There is nothing wrong with itself, as long as you let the lower official do it again and lift the physical restrictions on it. It can be restored to sanity. ”

A few days ago, when he returned to Beijing to report on his work, Zhao Kui heard that there was a white-scrolled scholar in the spring of this year, and he openly messed around in the big entrance examination, and he was so angry that a group of old scholars in the Ministry of Rites almost had a collective stroke.

But this white scroll scholar has unparalleled medical skills, and he actually cured the old problem of the queen's mother, so even if the name fell Sun Shan, he was sent to Liang County to be a horse breeder.

I didn't expect such an interesting person, not only with amazing medical skills, but also with such strong martial arts, that he could single-handedly fight his way out of the net of 200,000 Mongolian iron horsemen in Luzhou.

Now I heard with my own ears that Li Muli can fight a tiger with his bare hands, and I have seen with my own eyes Li Muli's ability to wake up the unconscious big cat with a few stitches. How can you miss such a talent?

After the big cat was put back in the animal pen, Zhao Kui's eyes lit up, and he said impatiently: "Lord Li, according to the report of the spies, Liang County was slaughtered by the Mongols three days ago, and Luzhou was also surrounded by Chahan's 800,000 army.

Lord Li came to ask for help, and the official already knew from below. But the general must have known that the southern horses were thin and capable, and were good at transporting goods in the mountains, while the northern horses were tall and strong, and were good at running on the plains.

Now outside the city of Luzhou, the Mongols have a total of 800,000 horses, infantry attacking the city, and cavalry surround the point to help. This officer has been garrisoning Yangzhou for many years, although he has always attached great importance to military drills, but to tell the truth, the quality of our Great Song soldiers is far behind the Mongols, and the foot strength of the war horses is far inferior to that of the northern steppe horses.

If the official follows Lord Li's wishes, he will send a cavalry army to aid Luzhou. How do you support Luzhou? There were too many defenders in Yangzhou, and they were caught up and eaten by the fast Mongols, and it would be useless to send less.

Moreover, the 50,000 defenders of Luzhou, plus the support of the 150,000 Imperial Forest Army in the capital, a total of 200,000 troops, under the guard of the marshal General Du, how could it be so easy to be breached.

And my Yangzhou garrison is only forty or fifty thousand, soldiers and horses are sent out, the city is empty, in case Nachahan turns around and fights Yangzhou, then what should I do?

The old man knows that Lord Li is loyal to the imperial court, and he is in Yangzhou, and he does not forget the war in Luzhou, and the old man admires it very much. But far water can't solve the near fire, and now we have to believe in Du Dashuai. This official guarded Yangzhou well and prevented the Mongols from breaking through, which was also to consolidate Du Dashuai's right flank.

Master Li, if you really want to do your best for the country, you might as well do things in Yangzhou. The old man is in charge of the Criminal Department, Master Li, with your ability, you can be a general judge in Yangzhou, and you can also prepare Yangzhou's money and food military. At that time, if the Mongols come to fight, they can also fight on the battlefield. ”

Zhao Kui is belligerent, and after the fall of the Jin Kingdom four years ago, he played the Northern Expedition of the Son of Heaven and vowed to recover Sanjing. However, the Southern Song Dynasty passively defended the city, and went out to fight with the Mongols in the field, and Zhao Kui's Northern Expedition troops were defeated by the Mongols and fled.

He Zhao Kui was also impeached in the imperial court, and was demoted by the Son of Heaven and thrown to Yangzhou as an envoy.

Having seen the strength of the Mongols in the field back then, Zhao Kui did not dare to underestimate the Mongols at all.

Although what Zhao Kui said was the truth and the trend of the times, Li Mu came to reverse the situation, how could he be shaken by the trivial matter of being promoted to become rich, so he thought about it for a while and said: "Thanks to the love of Lord Shangshu, it is an honor for Li Mu, the lower official."

Although Lord Shangshu's words were very true, the 200,000 defenders in Luzhou City were indeed not easy for the Mongols to break. But when the Mongols destroyed the Jin State, they got 100,000 skilled craftsmen from the Jin State, and after several years of development, they may not have a powerful siege weapon.

If the city of Luzhou is broken, our Great Song Dynasty will no longer be able to resist the important town of the Mongolian iron cavalry on the Huaixi front. At that time, the Mongols trained the navy to cross the Yangtze River in Chaohu, and they could invade Xiangfan in the west, and they could go straight to Yangzhou in the east.

Supporting General Du Lao of Luzhou, Xia Guan did not plan to enter the city or fight hard with the Mongols. The subordinate only asked for five hundred cavalry, and the knights were good at riding and shooting. (To be continued.) )
