"Smack!"

Jia Rudao was originally sitting on the stool, but he stood up suddenly, slapped his right hand on the square table next to him, and slapped the sandalwood table with his palm, making a loud noise.

"He ran away?!!!" Jia Rudao's face was distorted into a lump of anger and surprise: "He ran away?? Fan Yongji ran away? What are you eating? ”

There were a few people standing at the bottom, all dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, and their faces were smeared with pot ash, and they were pitch black, like a group of beggars.

"My lord, where can I wait?" Several people cried with sad faces, crying sadly: "I don't know how the rumor leaked, Fan Yongji knew the adult's plan and understood that if he came to Xiangyang, it would be a dead end, so he took a risk, packed up and abandoned Junzhou overnight, and the whole army rushed to Jinzhou. He also wanted to take a few of us to sacrifice the flag, but thanks to a few of our cleverness, he ran out in disguise as a common man, otherwise where would he be able to stand here and talk to the adults. ”

Jia Rudao's face turned blue with anger, and he pointed at several people with a trembling finger and roared: "Fart! I arranged for you to go to Junzhou to be the governor and judge, just to prevent Fan Yongjisheng from having a change in his heart, you have been running away for so many days, what do I want you to do? And what about the soldiers you have brought with you? What about the people you have brought with you? Do they all eat dry rice? ”

Seeing that Jia Yidao was furious, several people were frightened, their knees were weak, and they knelt down in unison, crying: "My lord, we brought one or two thousand people, where is the opponent of Fan Yong's tiger and wolf, Fan Yongji besieged our barracks as soon as he was in trouble, and those soldiers were seized before they left the camp gate, we really have no choice!" ”

"Yes, yes, this matter cannot be reversed by manpower, if you want to talk about it, it is all because Fan Yongji, a capricious person, is too cunning!"

"My lord, we have done our best, and we really can't stop the soldiers from rebelling."

Jia Rudao laughed angrily, glared at him and snorted coldly: "As you said, not only are you not guilty, but you have also made great contributions?" ”

Several people made a gesture on the ground: "I don't dare to say anything, I just ask for forgiveness from adults." ”

Jia Rudao looked at them with disgust, and wanted to wave at the two colonels standing on the side to drag these useless guys down to punish them.

Deputy Envoy Li Bozeng didn't speak, only then did he lean over and whisper a few words in his ear, Jia Rudao nodded indignantly, and shouted: "In this case, you guys will go back to me and think about it behind closed doors, and you will not be allowed to go out for ten days!" ”

Several officials frowned, thanked them repeatedly, and withdrew.

The two small schools were called to arrange the knife and axe hands, and Jia Rudao planned to set up a banquet after Fan Yongji arrived today, and the banquet was called by throwing cups, and the knife and axe hands rushed out to take down people, and the plan succeeded.

Now it's a joke to talk about the knife and axe hands, so the little colonels were also sent away, and Jia Yidao and Li Bozeng were left in the house.

"Master Li, what you just said makes some sense." Jia Rudao's anger did not subside, and his face was still blue: "The dismissal of these people has confirmed the evidence that we are wrong." ”

"So, my lord, Fan Yongji ran away, there is no need to worry, the top priority now is to report to the court as soon as possible, just say that Fan saw that the Mongolian army was killed, and he was invincible, escaped into the mountains, and threw the responsibility on the Mongols and Fan, so that our fault was gently carried over, and we can't be held accountable to you and me." Li Bozeng touched his beard and said.

Jia Nidao was overjoyed when he heard this, what he was most afraid of was that someone impeached him to the court for being unladylike, appeasing and accepting Fan Yongji without authorization, and causing a big disaster and causing a war.

He hurriedly thanked Li Bozeng: "My lord's words, wake up the person in the dream, it makes sense, Fan escaped and fled away after being defeated by Jili, in this way, he is not considered a defector, and I am naturally not guilty." As for the explanation of the Mongols, they have received compensation money, and they will not be entangled in the gains and losses of one head, I have talked with all the lords in Beijing, and they said that the imperial court has negotiated the conditions with the Mongolian chieftains, and as long as Henan is in the hands of the Mongols, the two countries will strike their troops. ”

"What about Xingyuan Mansion?" Li Bozeng asked: "Wang Kui's side occupies Hanzhong, and Mongolia has not mentioned the conditions for returning there?" ”

"Of course I did. But the imperial court did not agree. Jia Rudao recalled: "Several slaughterhouses in the court felt that the defense of Xingyuan Mansion in Shuzhong was too important, and Wang Kui was very stable, and the Mongols couldn't grab it, so they didn't agree." ”

"I see." Li Bozeng nodded and said: "In this way, Lord Jia, our side also has to step up preparations for war, the ambition of the wolf son in the north, I am afraid that they will not be fed by Henan's appetite, and they are greedy for Xiangfan, and it will be dangerous to raise troops to the south." ”

"This is natural." Jia Rudao replied without thinking: "Negotiation is negotiation, work is work, we have not dealt with Beilu for a day or two, and the black and white words written on the paper are not accurate in the end, and we have to see the real chapter on the knife." ”

He thought about it, touched the short beard on his lips and said coldly: "Don't want Henan left and right, I will order tomorrow that the city north of Fancheng will begin to prepare for war behind closed doors, and the people outside the city will all be included in the city." ”

Li Bozeng glanced at him and said, "My lord, many of the people who have come from the Qingye of Henan are still on the road, and we will gather the people near Fancheng again, I'm afraid we can't accommodate it in a hurry." ”

"I can't care about it so much, if I can't bear it, I will make a big plan, and the life and death of some people are nothing compared to the safety of Jinghu." Jia Rudao's face was expressionless: "We have to focus on the overall situation, and we will not be in charge of the army, Lord Li." ”

Li Bozeng sighed, closed his mouth and said no more.

……

Kublai Khan also felt the anger of Jia Rudao.

He also didn't expect that Fan Yongji of Junzhou would ignore it, and directly didn't even want his life, abandoned the city, and set a fire to burn the good Junzhou City into ruins.

That's not interesting.

Isn't it the patent of our Great Mongolia to set fire to the city, what do you mean by going to the cottage?

"Where did he go?" Kublai Khan was a little confused, and he had a map in front of him showing the terrain of Henan, and his eyes wandered over the map, wondering where the frightened bird would flee.

"Hearing the report of the horse, he took the remnants of his men with a few thousand men, and headed west." Shi Tianze reported on the side, leaned over and pointed on the map: "The fire in Junzhou is monstrous, and the people of the city are full of people of old and young spread all over the wilderness outside the city, and the scene is miserable. ”

"This bastard, it's disgusting!" Za Ting'er cursed righteously: "Such a disregard for the life and death of the people, his crime can be punished!" ”

When the Mongols said such things, they always felt that something was wrong. Kublai Khan shook his shoulders uneasily.

He looked in the direction of Shi Tianze's finger, which was outside the map.

"What's that?" Kublai Khan was not very familiar with the geography here.

"That area is near Ankang Mansion and Xunyang, and we don't have a map there." Shi Tianze was a little ashamed: "Because it is a wild place, there are many mountains and few flat land, and the barbarians live together, and the government has never cared." ”

Kublai Khan frowned, and a hint of doubt appeared on his broad face: "Could it be the Hanshui River Valley that we are going to borrow next?" Since it is a barbarian residence, what is Fan Yongji running for? ”

"Your Highness doesn't know, there is a vertical and horizontal 700 miles, relying on the barriers of the Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountain on both sides, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, and there are waterways together with Xingyuan Mansion and Henan, so it has always been a good place to stick to raising thieves." Liu Heima's town, including Hanzhong, knew more about the situation near the Yongxing Army than Shi Tianze, so he said loudly: "Back then, the martial immortals of the Jin Kingdom fled from Sanfeng Mountain, and there was no way to go, so they hid here for a while. ”

"It turned out to be a good place to be the king of the mountain." Kublai Khan suddenly realized and laughed: "Fan Yongji seems to know that the Song Dynasty wants to take him as a last resort, hahaha." ”

Everyone laughed and winked, and their expressions of disdain were displayed on everyone's faces.

"Fan Yongji is also a hero, I didn't expect that he didn't even have the courage to fight, he actually wanted to fall into the grass and hide in the brute land to be the king of grass, but he is a real rat!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, his departure is not a good thing for us." Kublai Khan laughed twice, and then turned his face up again: "The place where he went is exactly the area we are about to pass through, it doesn't matter if he falls into the grass, but he blocks our way, and more importantly, he goes that way, which will inevitably cause the nervousness of the Song army in Xingyuan Prefecture, once they find out that our Great Mongolian army has signs of passing through the river valley, it will not be good!" ”
