Wang Kui followed this military general called Jiulong Langruo into the camp hidden in the forest.

When he first saw this camp, Wang Kui was a little disappointed, because the camp was very quiet, and the number of tents between the trees was not much, and it seemed that the number of people staying in it should be very small, no more than two or three hundred people at most, and such a team would not carry a large amount of food with them.

Looking at its shape and clear meaning, in his heart, he has basically determined the origin of these people, and there is no doubt that they must be the remnants of the soldiers who escaped from Chengdu.

So Wang Kui was very disappointed, and even had the idea of turning around and leaving, but he came here, and it was really rude not to say hello to the main general, so he could only sigh and walk in.

However, after walking a few steps, Wang Kui was secretly surprised, it turned out that the camp tents in the woods were one after another, and the scale was huge. Many tents are covered with thick leaves and branches, which are integrated with the trees, and they are far away, so of course they can't recognize them as tents, and they think they are big trees.

The soldiers resting in the camp tent, no one walked around, all stayed quietly, doing their own things, such as sharpening knives, such as wiping armor, and there was no defeat and decadence. There was no noisy sound in the huge camp, and it was as quiet as an empty valley.

Along the way, Wang Kui estimated that there were at least more than 2,000 soldiers here, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue a little, and looked far away, there were still many camps erected behind him, and the number must be more than this number.

So many people can actually keep silent and silent, what kind of discipline can be done. The more Wang Kui looked, the more strange he became, and the more he watched, the more surprised he became.

After walking a little in the camp, Jiulong Langruo, who led the way, stopped in the middle of a slightly larger clearing, where a large flat stone was placed, and several people in leather armor were looking at a map around the stone.

Jiulonglang leaned over and whispered a few words in the ear of one of them, and the man raised his head and looked at Wang Kui.

Wang Kui then intertwined his eyes with this young man who looked a little thin.

The face is a little delicate, not like a soldier, at least not like a rough soldier, a little soft. Wang Kui said in his heart, those who are soldiers should have a big beard and thick eyebrows, so that they can have evil spirits. Although this person has a high nose, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he is quite heroic, but he still lacks a little bravery. The black leather armor on his body was very eye-catching, but the Song Army-style hand knife at his waist explained his identity.

This is a Great Song general, Wang Kui is sure that he should be Sun Hong, the deputy envoy of Xuzhou Defense.

The man stood up, walked up to Wang Kui, arched his hand, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Wang, the prefect of Hanzhou, I heard about you, Hanzhou fought very well, it is rare!" ”

Wang Kui was slightly stunned, and smiled bitterly and hugged his fists in return: "Where are the words, the words are serious, how dare the generals of the defeated army be worthy of praise." ”

"Definitely! Lord Wang is a lonely city with ten thousand enemies, and he sticks to the moon, so he naturally deserves it. The man said: "If everyone in the Great Song Dynasty is like the prefect of the king, why worry about the world anymore?" ”

Jiulong Langruo introduced: "Lord Wang, this is the deputy envoy of Xuzhou defense. ”

Wang Kui nodded: "The defense enables the adults to return with the whole army, which is also very remarkable." ”

He deliberately did not add the word "deputy", which was in accordance with the habits of officialdom, and when it came to the fact that the official position was one level higher, the other party was always happy, and he was able to get closer to each other, and he became more familiar with each other. Although Wang Kui is rough, he is a civil official, and he knows these things very well.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, the other party was at a loss, and even Jiulong Langruo was confused, as if he didn't understand his words.

Wang Kui is also unnatural, could he have said something wrong?

The three of them froze in place, and none of them knew how to speak.

Fortunately, Changsun Hong was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses, understanding the meaning of his words, which was to mistakenly think that he was a defender who had been defeated from Chengdu City.

He couldn't cry or laugh, and wanted to defend himself with a wonderful expression, so he said: "My lord misunderstood, we didn't come from Chengdu, we were ordered to come from Xuzhou, and we camped here in the morning." ”

Now it was Wang Kui's turn to be stunned.

Coming from Xuzhou? Why go this way? Shouldn't you go in the direction of Gongzhou? Don't you know the situation yet?

There are Mongol cavalry everywhere here, and the 800,000 troops of Tahai have probably occupied Jianzhou, and they are plundering prisoners everywhere, and everyone else is fleeing south in a hurry.

Lost, aren't you?

It seems that it is necessary to popularize the general trend for this group of friendly troops who ran out of the ravine, and he said eagerly: "Don't go further north, there is no pure land in the area of Sichuan, the Mongol troops have already reached the vicinity of Suizhou, and even Gongzhou Mansion has become the front line. Probably Chengdu City broke suddenly, and the envoy did not come to rush to give you the order to return to the south, so you don't know why, fortunately you met me! ”

He was kind-hearted, his eyes were full of anxiety, and with the luck of "fortunately I stopped you in time", Changsun Hong was both moved and helpless when he heard it.

"This ...... Lord Wang, we all know what you said. He patiently listened to Wang Kui's words, and said with a smile: "We are here for the Mongols. ”

Wang Kui's eyes became a little glazed, and he almost didn't believe his ears.

Coming for the Mongols?

Do you want to fight the Mongols here?

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, added a bit of skin, and pondered his words before he spoke: "Lord Eldest Sun, you ...... Have you ever fought with the Mongols? ”

"Nope." Changsun Hong's smile disappeared, and he was replaced with a serious and solemn face: "This is also the purpose of our coming." ”

Wang Kui looked left and right, and was heartbroken: "You have two or three thousand people here, right?" With these soldiers, you are going to fight the Mongols in the field? ”

He didn't wait for Changsun Hong to talk, so he said categorically: "Brother Changsun, you still take people and go to Gongzhou with me!" Chen Zhizhi has tens of thousands of people under his command, and he still doesn't dare to fight with the Beiyu, how can you Xuzhou soldiers dare to speak wildly? You can't be reckless and brave, and waste the lives of your sons, now that Sichuan is short of soldiers, you can't consume military horses so casually. ”

He is already a little impatient to call Changsun Hong a little brother, but in terms of official status, he is several levels higher than the deputy envoy of defense, so it is not wrong to call him so.

Jiulong Langruo's face changed, his brows furrowed slightly, and his hand pinched the hilt of the knife.

Changsun Hong was not angry, he reached out and patted Jiulong's shoulder, signaling him to calm down, and then said to Wang Kui in an indifferent tone: "I understand the kindness of the Wang Governor's Mansion, but the Wang Governor's Mansion wants to go to Gongzhou, but it is up to my Eldest Sun Hong to decide where I will go to Shimenfan." ”

"Everyone says that the north is difficult to capture, and the field is unparalleled." His eyes shone with a little essence, like a bright star in the night sky: "I don't think so. The war is about the right time, place and people, and these three Mongols do not occupy any of them, we just have them, and the art of war is cloudy: the three are not allowed, although there is victory and disaster. In this way, the Mongols are going to suffer. ”

Wang Kui looked at this deputy defense envoy who was about the same height as himself, and he was full of dissatisfaction, but he didn't know where to start, because the other party quoted scriptures, and it was really difficult to refute them.

"You, you are talking on paper, as ridiculous as Zhao Kuo." In the end, Wang Kui shook his head and said abruptly: "Yes, the Mongols are guest soldiers, we are the main soldiers, and this land is also full of Han people, according to the art of war, we have all occupied." But the Mongols are fierce, they ......"

"Lord Wang doesn't need to say anything, I've made up my mind, so let's stop here." The eldest grandson Hong arched his hand and began to look absentmindedly in the direction of the big stone, probably something that had not been done yet: "My lord, please take care of yourself." ”

Wang Kui's kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he was about to leave in a rage, and said in his heart, you are dead and do my.

But when I think about it, it seems that the business I came here has not been done. So he was helpless, and he turned around and made a request again, but fortunately, the eldest grandson Hong was generous, and without saying a word, he ordered someone to allocate a batch for him.
