Tan Yun sent a handwritten letter from Song Qin this time, because of the identity and situation of the Song family now, it is not convenient for such a letter to be communicated publicly.

Song Qin thought of a lot of ways, and after a few secrets, this was the person who found the Tan family, the content of the letter was too important, and the Tan family did not dare to be careless, so Tan Yun took advantage of the opportunity of Han Jiangxue's happy visit to bring the letter to Tan Yun.

Mo Li quickly took the letter and read the contents of the letter, and then didn't say anything, and then handed the letter to Han Jiangxue on the side, letting her read it herself.

"Look, how do you handle this?" There was no one else in the room except for the three of them, so Tan Yun didn't need to scruple about it, and asked directly after Mo Li and Han Jiangxue read the contents of the letter.

Speaking of which, the Tan family and the Song family are also quite friendly, Tan Xiao and Song Qin's grandfather were friends who respected each other, and Tan Jing was a young friend with Song Qin's father, if it weren't for the Tan family living in Nantong for a long time, the two families would have been in contact with each other because of the actual geographical inconvenience, and the two families would definitely be very close.

Now Dongming and Nankun are completely opposed, and the Song family and the Tan family also choose their own camps, which has become a hostile relationship in the true sense.

Therefore, that is, after the camp was officially established, the two families had already officially severed contact and no longer had any contact. But not long ago, Song Qin secretly went to Nantong and secretly found Tan Yun, the two talked to each other, and handed the letter to Tan Yun, asking Tan Yun to personally transfer the letter to Mo Li or Han Jiangxue.

With such a major event, Tan Yun naturally did not dare to make judgments arbitrarily. After all, the Song family is now the general of the Eastern Ming Dynasty, and I don't know if there will be any hidden secrets or conspiracy when Song Qin arrives.

Tan Yun quickly handed over the matter and the letter to his father Tan Jing, who in turn told Tan Xiao about it. After several people discussed, they made a final decision, choosing to believe Song Qin's words, and asked Tan Yun to personally go and hand over the letter to Mo Li, who would make his own judgment to see if this matter was feasible.

Hearing Tan Yun's inquiry, Mo Li didn't speak immediately. Instead, he glanced at Han Jiangxue beside him inquiringly.

Song Qin is Han Jiangxue's senior brother, and compared to him, Han Jiangxue should have a deeper understanding of Song Qin.

"I believe what the senior brother said in the letter." Han Jiangxue did not hesitate at all. said directly: "Now that the war is there, the Dongming coalition army is completely at a disadvantage, if it weren't for the Song army led by General Song, the entire Dongming army would have been defeated and evacuated long ago." ”

Although Han Jiangxue has been staying in the mansion these days. But it's clear what's going on outside, even on the battlefield. She analyzed truthfully: "The general trend of Dongming has gone, this is something that everyone can understand today, and the Song family is naturally the same." However, General Song had a respectable temperament and a firm attitude, and he would not give up resistance no matter what, let alone surrender on his own initiative. The rest of the Dongming coalition army is not to be said for the time being, but the Song family army led by General Song will not give up its position no matter what, and will definitely lead the entire Song family to the end. ”

"Although. Our men and horses will definitely be able to win in the end, but because of General Song's stubborn resistance. This battle is bound to drag on for a long time, and there will be many unnecessary casualties among our soldiers and horses. Therefore, if we can really solve the obstacle of the Song family in a bloodless way, it is of course the best thing for us. ”

Speaking of this, Han Jiangxue paused, frowned slightly, and said, "It's just that how difficult it is to convince General Song, I'm afraid it's not easy to do." If Senior Brother can really make General Song lay down his arms and no longer be an enemy of my Nankun soldiers, Mo said that it is just to save General Song's life and keep the safety of the Song family, even if he makes more requests, it is not an exaggeration. ”

Han Jiangxue can understand the consideration of the senior brother, the senior brother is not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and now he can make such a decision against his father's will, of course, it is not for himself.

First, Song Qin understood the general trend of the world early on, and also understood that the fall of Dongming was completely caused by itself, and the blame was taken by himself. Song Qin didn't want to go against the sky, and he didn't want to continue to help the abuse.

Second, if the two armies were fighting, if his father continued to resist so stubbornly, the result would not only be meaningless, but also would only make all the brothers of the Song family innocently become the burial companions of the Li royal family. This is not what Song Qin wants to see. After all, so many brothers of the Song family trust the Song family, and they will never abandon and protect each other with their lives if they are loyal to the Song family.

Three, if this continues, Song Qin knows that his father can only die in the end, and as a son, he is not willing to watch his father make such a useless sacrifice like this.

Therefore, for various reasons, Song Qin finally secretly discussed this decision with the two brothers, and privately reached an agreement with the lord of Nankun to resolve the war.

But they all knew very well that, with their father's character, he would never agree to do what they wanted. Therefore, Song Qin contacted Yu Moli behind his father's back, hoping to get Moli's trust and cooperation, help them act in a play together, and really solve the matter.

In other words, the Song Qin brothers took the initiative to express their intentions to Moli and were willing to surrender to Nankun, and the demands they put forward were essentially only the most basic, and they were not excessive.

And the only thing Mo Li has to consider is just the safety of Song Qin's actions this time, objectively speaking, no matter whether the matter can succeed or not, there is no actual loss for Nankun. On the contrary, once successful, the battle can be immediately substantially advanced, and it can also reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties, and it can also accept good generals and warriors, which is of course the best for Mo Li.

"I have the same opinion as Jiang Xue on this matter." Mo Li thought about it for a while, and quickly made a decision: "According to my understanding of Song Qin, since he has made up his mind to do this, he must have made detailed plans and preparations. He's a man. I can trust him, so I must cooperate with him. ”

And his request couldn't be more reasonable. It should have been what we did, so I would send people to act separately, on the one hand, I would be responsible for handing over the Song family's family members to a safe place in Nankun to ensure their safety, and on the other hand, I would make General Qin ready to cooperate and respond. ”

After Mo Li said this, he paused slightly, as if thinking about something, and then said to Tan Yun: "In order to ensure that Song Qin will not have any accidents this time. I would like to go in person, and it would be better to be able to meet General Song in secret again. My cousin just replied to Song Qin truthfully for me, and I would naturally deal with the rest. Reassure him. ”

Tan Yun was a little relieved when he saw Mo Li's mouthful, but when he heard that Mo Li was going to meet General Song in person, he was worried and said, "Song Qin said it." He has his own way of leading the matter. All you need is our Real Madrid to cooperate on the field, and finally answer it secretly, you don't need to run it yourself. ”

According to General Song's temper, seeing Mo Li again, he didn't immediately take down the person, so where did Tan Yun rest assured that Mo Li would take such an unnecessary risk.

"If my guess is correct, Song Qin wants to do this behind General Song's back, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that General Song will not forgive Song Qin lightly. And in that case, there is a good chance that General Song will not choose to survive. ”

Mo Li explained: "Since I can have the opportunity to let the Song family be used by me. Then I naturally hope for the best. ”

"However, my cousin is right, if you run to see General Song like this, I'm afraid he won't let you go lightly. What's more, even if you go, it is impossible to convince this person, so why bother? Han Jiangxue naturally didn't worry about Mo Li's going to see General Song again at this time. It wasn't that they hadn't seen each other last time, and it wasn't that they didn't have been persuaded without persuasion, but General Song's attitude was obviously impossible to convince.

Mo Li understood Han Jiangxue's thoughts, he took Jiang Xue's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have my own opinions, and I will pay attention to safety, and I won't joke with my life." ”

Of course, Han Jiangxue knew Mo Li the most, and since he had already made a decision, it meant that this trip was absolutely necessary, so he didn't refute it much, but just told him again.

Time was pressing, and after an hour, Mo Li went out, and he had to go to the secret meeting with General Song again before the Song Qin brothers moved.

Of course, this time he still didn't expect that he could convince others, just to pave the way for the future situation of the Song family, and at least to ensure that after Song Qin brought his father to Nankun, General Song would not be unable to think about it for a while and find a short-term view.

Although the Song brothers have decided to surrender to Nankun, the prestige of the brothers in the Song family army is still far inferior to their father. Mo Li did not want this army, which had been rebelled against with great difficulty, to become an unstable special existence in Nankun in the future because of the death of General Song.

Early the next morning, Tan Yun had already returned to Nantong, and Mo Li, who secretly went to the front line of the war to meet with General Song, also quietly returned to Mowang's Mansion the next day.

Things went quite smoothly, as Mo Li expected, his trip was still the same as before, and there was no way to persuade General Song to take the initiative to serve Nankun. Even General Song really made a move, wanting to take the opportunity to capture and kill Mo Li, but Mo Li was prepared for a long time, and was not succeeded by General Song, but retreated.

By this time, Mo Li had done everything he could do, and he had said everything he wanted to say to General Song.

Although General Song looked unmoved, Mo Li could see that in the depths of General Song's heart, he did not hate Mo Li and Nankun as much as he expressed. It's just that because of his position and his foolish loyalty, he cut off all his back roads and had to do this.

General Song also knew that what Mo Li said was reasonable, and he also knew that the Li family no longer had the ability to manage the world well, and he knew that his stubborn resistance would definitely change in the end, and he understood more that Mo Li had repeatedly disregarded his own peace and was full of sincerity, and he didn't want the Song family to destroy themselves like this.

However, no matter how much he knew, General Song felt that he had no way to retreat and could not retreat. He can't do this kind of retreat in battle, even apostasy, and would rather die than do it!

"In that case, what is the purpose of your trip?" After listening to Moli's narration. Han Jiangxue didn't hide it, and directly raised her doubts: "I originally thought that you personally wanted to assist Senior Brother Yu in this time. But you really just came back after another persuasion, and didn't interfere with the senior brother's plan. ”

Mo Li smiled, touched Han Jiangxue's belly, and did not answer directly, but continued: "It is inconvenient for me to directly interfere in your senior brother's plan, otherwise it will be easy to make General Song suspicious, but in fact. This matter is not too complicated, Song Qin will take the Song army to surround a relatively remote stronghold of our army in three ways in the name of a night attack three days later. At that time, the entire Song army will participate in the battle, and General Song will personally lead his troops into the battle under the advice of the Song Qin brothers. General Qin had already prepared for the reception at that stronghold, and three days later, the Song army would join forces with General Qin and them. ”

"Throughout the process. Song Qin will let General Song fall asleep for a while. When General Song wakes up again, everything is a foregone conclusion, and I will see General Song again, persuade him in good voice, and invite him sincerely. ”

Hearing this, Han Jiangxue suddenly understood, and quickly said, "I understand." It turns out that you want to learn from other people's thatched houses. That's fine, since it's a foregone conclusion at that point. I think General Song will still think back to the past and think more about the people of the world from a different angle. ”

"I hope so, I don't dare to be 100% sure, but it's good to work harder, at least I have no shame in my conscience, and in the end, even if I do what I want, I won't have any regrets." Mo Li sighed slightly, slightly emotional.

Three days later, as Mo Li said, it happened without accident.

When Wen Wei returned to the Mo Palace, Mo Li left the mansion, as he said before, and rushed to see General Song in person for the third time.

At the same time, the Dongming coalition army knew that the Song brothers had secretly joined Nankun, and the strongest Song family army in the entire coalition army was taken to Nankun without leaving behind, and became the soldiers and horses serving Nankun.

For a time, the Dongming coalition army was in chaos, and the remaining soldiers and horses still dared to resist the Nankun army here, and they didn't hold on for even two days, and then directly gave up the current battlefield and fled all the way to the east.

The news soon spread to the capital, but the imperial court's instructions have long been unable to restrain these soldiers, less than forty days of effort, it was captured by the Nankun army more than a dozen cities and counties, almost no one can stop the place, and even most of them do not need the Nankun army to spend a soldier, the officials and defenders in the city directly open the city gate to greet each other, and the people warmly welcome the Nankun soldiers into the city, and happily become the people of Nankun.

And the resistance encountered in individual places is not worth mentioning at all, and after only three months of effort, the army led by General Qin chased the defeated army of Dongming all the way to the Yuanshui River, which was only three hundred miles away from the capital of Dongming, and only because of the natural barrier of this river made the pursuing Nankun army temporarily stop.

With the advancement of the war, Nankun has occupied more than half of the entire Eastern Ming Dynasty, except for the Western Desert that is still insisting on stubbornly and carrying the mad dog of Nanliang, the Eastern Ming Dynasty is now only left in the capital and less than ten surrounding cities and counties.

Li Qing was ill, and the early lord of the imperial court fell into extreme chaos, and many members of the royal family and a few bundled families under the Li family had begun to move out of the capital and go to the easternmost sea to Jiling Island, where they would take it as their last retreat.

Jiling Island is the only big alley island in Dongming, surrounded by the sea on all sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as early as the official outbreak of the war, it has become the best retreat choice for the Li royal family. If they are unable to keep the capital and keep the foundation of more than two hundred years in the end, then they can only retreat to Jiling Island first, preserve their last strength and hope, and one day make counterattacks and plots in the future.

A few days ago, the ministers of the court and the central government had already asked Li Qing to retreat to Jiling Island and go to a safe place to ensure the safety of the Son of Heaven. After all, now the flames of war have burned under the nose, although there is a natural barrier of the Yuanshui River to stop the Nankun soldiers and horses, but everyone knows that just relying on natural danger is nothing more than delaying the Nankun soldiers and horses by the river for a few days.

When the Nankun soldiers and horses are ready, then the day these people cross the river will be equivalent to when the capital is broken, and when it really comes to that time, it will be too late to run.

But Li Qing has always been reluctant to retreat to Jiling Island, and he doesn't care much about political affairs, so he just locks himself in the palace every day, looking like a walking corpse.

The actual situation of the capital has not fallen to Nankun at all, and it has reached the ears of Moli, and above the war, Moli has completely handed over to General Sun to sit in the battle, assisted by General Qin and General Yue, and he and other ordinary civil servants and capable people have made the most complicated and appropriate arrangements for the aftermath of the city and county included in Nankun everywhere.

When it comes to the future of so many people, everything is a priority, and there is no room for carelessness.

And in the blink of an eye, Han Jiangxue's stomach has been almost nine months, and it is not long before she gives birth, Mo Li has become more and more careful, no matter how busy she is, she will strive to come back early every day to accompany her wife, and repeatedly told Shui'er and Ziyue to take turns to serve beside Jiang Xue for a moment.

The preparations for labor have been prepared, and the midwives and nurses have been looking for several and are on call in the mansion early, and Han Jiangxue's aunt has also come to the Mowang Mansion in recent days to take care of her niece.

Han Jiangxue's biological mother died early, and there were no elders and daughters in Mowang's mansion, so at such a time, the arrival of his aunt not only made up for the sitting of the most important female dependents, but also made Mo Li feel a lot more at ease.

"After today, there will only be twenty-seven days before I will be born, right?" Mo Li squatted beside Han Jiangxue, leaned his ear on Jiang Xue's high abdomen, and listened happily to the sound of the child in his belly.

He counted the days according to the expected date of delivery calculated by the doctor, although the doctor also said that it might be a few days earlier or a few days later, but this did not affect him to count the number of days the child was born with his fingers bent every day.

"I didn't know what day it was until I was born." Han Jiangxue smiled a little bitterly: "Okay, you're tired for a day, hurry up and sit down and rest, what are you doing squatting there, don't be tired." ”

"I'm not tired, I'm talking to my son!" Mo Li responded with a smile, and there was really no trace of tiredness on his face, as if he had just gotten up.

"Son? What if it's a daughter? Han Jiangxue deliberately asked rhetorically, she knew that Mo Li didn't care whether it was a man or a woman, and what she said to talk to her son was just a smooth mouth, and there was no real meaning.

"My daughter is better, she looks as beautiful and cute as you, how good!" Mo Li finally completed the communication of talking to the child and pulling the relationship in close proximity, which is now a daily necessity, got up and sat next to Han Jiangxue, and stretched out his hand to hug his wife, extremely satisfied.

Han Jiang Xue Wanle didn't say anything more, leaned on Mo Li's arms, quietly enjoying this warmth and happiness.

"By the way, the Meng family sent someone today." After a long while, Mo Li remembered something, and the rather interesting Chao Han Jiangxue said: "I really didn't expect that the monarch of Southern Liang would be so brainless, and he was reluctant to let go of his mouth after biting the West Desert for so long. Xishu has already hit their border, and according to intelligence, it has occupied at least two important places, but I didn't expect that the monarch of Nanliang was still calm and didn't plan to let go, and he was bent on swallowing the fat of Ximo. ”

After hearing this, Han Jiangxue suddenly became interested, blinked her eyes and asked, "So, the Meng family sent someone to ask for help this time?" After fighting for so long, their Meng family should have been almost consumed, if there are no reinforcements, I am afraid that they will be swallowed by Nan Liang Zhen in a bite! ”

Mo Li nodded: "That's right, this time, Nanliang really did us a great favor, and the drama we sang with Xishu finally came to an end!" ”

"What are you going to do?" Han Jiangxue thought for a while and said, "Should you directly let the Meng family become a vassal and then send troops to repel Nanliang, or do you help with reinforcements first, and then collect the Western Desert?" ”

Mo Li didn't answer immediately, his eyes shone with the most charming light, and only after a moment did he say: "This time, I will let the Meng family and Nanliang all suffer a big loss, and let them all see how powerful our Nankun is!" ”
