On either side were the frightened ministers at the banquet, their faces full of disbelief, their eyes wide to the limit.

Zhao Rui easily defeated Long Wei again, where is Zhao Rui's ceiling, even this legendary guard team can't try it.

Jia Yidao and the emperor and the eunuchs and palace maids all shrank together, looking at Zhao Rui who slowly stepped forward in horror.

This young man was just an ordinary military general before, but now he has become a figure from top to bottom, and no one dares to stop him.

Jia Yidao protected his forehead with his right arm, and the beard on his chin trembled, at this moment, he was finally not the high-ranking master, and he felt that his life seemed to have been held by Zhao Rui, as long as he wanted, he could kill him at any time.

The Taishi was so frightened that he had no demeanor, the emperor's head was still buried in the yellow robe, and Zhao Rui shook his head with hatred.

Kill them?

There is no need.

The atmosphere of the Southern Song Dynasty is like this, even if Jia Yidao is killed, there will be a second Jia Yidao, who is the same greedy for pleasure and the same who is in power by camping.

As for Emperor Zhao Yuan, not to mention, several of his children are not yet adults, and he himself ignores the government and politics, and there is no difference between killing and not killing.

"Let me tell you, the Yuan army will definitely not make peace."

This sentence was said to the emperor and the Taishi, and it was also said to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

Zhao Rui just wanted to make them sober, but suddenly felt that his words were simply pale and powerless, at this time Zhao Rui was already completely cold to the Southern Song Dynasty, and his previous idea of relying on the military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty was gone.

Zhao Rui chuckled and shook his head and was about to leave, the Southern Song Dynasty has rotted to the roots, and it is not something that he can reverse alone, since this is the case, it is better to do your own thing and have a clear conscience, as for the rest, God has its own arrangements.

"Oh, yes!" Zhao Rui paused and twisted his body, which made Jia Yidao, who was relieved, nervous again, but begged Zhao Rui not to hurt his life.

"Since you don't have the idea of resisting the Yuan army, then in the future, as long as the city I have conquered, it will be counted as my fiefdom, just like the current Fancheng."

Zhao Rui is not asking, nor is he discussing, he is just stating a fact.

In the courtyard of hundreds of people, no one made a sound, Zhao Rui now seemed to be much more terrifying than the Yuan army in Xiangyang, and those who wanted to live naturally did not dare to say more.

"Oh, the snacks are good, I'll bring some to eat on the way." Zhao Rui spoke, and walked to the original seat again.

At this point, all of them are like puppets who have been tested on magic, and their bodies are as if they have been nailed to the ground, except for the movement of their eyes.

Zhao Rui found a clean cloth bag, packed the snacks on the table and took them away, just glanced at Yang Liangjie, and the uncle who was so publicized that he knelt on the ground with a thud.

Yang Liangjie knelt down in front of everyone, making him burst into tears, humiliation was one thing, and more importantly, his knees slammed on the bluestone slab, which was simply indescribable pain.

Yang Liangjie didn't plan to kneel, but begged in his heart to let Zhao Rui, the demon, leave quickly, but Zhao Rui's gaze made his legs involuntarily bend.

"Heh, this physique is still thinking about other people's maids?"

Zhao Rui joked and walked away.

Yang Liangjie didn't react at all, just lowered his head, don't say what Zhao Rui said, even if it is no longer in the ear, Uncle Guo will admit it today, who makes Zhao Rui unprovoked?

This is a complete rupture, Zhao Rui also understands that the Southern Song Dynasty court is by no means a group that can be expected, even if Zhao Rui's sharp firearms join, they don't have the slightest intention to confront the Yuan Dynasty, just like a dou who can't be supported, which makes people tired.

At the same time, although Zhao Rui offended the entire Southern Song Dynasty court, he had no fear in his heart, and these people really had no other ability than anyone else except to negotiate peace.

Since this is the case, Zhao Rui decided to face the Yuan Dynasty alone, and now with the replenishment of guns and ammunition, Zhao Rui is confident that he will vigorously consume the Yuan army and make them retreat.

After Zhao Rui left, some embarrassment was left behind by some people, and they even mentioned the problem of dealing with Zhao Rui on the spot. Isn't this a clear indication that the Taishi can't come to the stage?

Suggesting that this person was also on the same line as the Taishi, the angry Jia Yidao blew his beard and glared, and said hatefully: "Deal with a fart, do you dare to go?" ”

The proposed minister was immediately gagged, he just had a good time, but he was actually scared to death.

"It's not just you, who dares to fight Zhao Rui now, I support it 100%!"

Jia Yidao looked around, stunned that no one dared to come forward.

"A group of wine bags and rice bags ......," Jia Yidao said through gritted teeth.

Although the ministers below didn't dare to talk, they couldn't help but think in their hearts, didn't this mean himself?

"Taishi, you have an idea, this matter can't just be left like this!"

The ministers were cautious in their words and deeds, only Zhao Yuan asked inappropriately.

On the face of the emperor's question, Jia Yidao didn't want to answer, and said angrily: "This time Zhao Rui must be like fire and water with the Yuan Dynasty, although the two of them are fighting, let's recuperate, and we can take advantage of the fisherman!" ”

Wenchen's mouth is so magical, he can say that a black cat is a white cat.

Jia Yidao is well versed in this, and through his mouth, the ministers really felt a little comforted when they heard it, and for a while, countless sycophants were pasted on Jia Yidao's face.

At this time, the banquet was not in the mood to continue, the ministers dispersed one after another, they unified their thoughts, and they all went to recuperate according to the instructions of the Taishi, in fact, they were eating, drinking and having fun.

In addition, Zhang Shijie and others couldn't help but be anxious, Zhao Rui's request was reasonable, but the imperial court neither sent troops to help, nor even contributed to the construction of the walls of Fancheng, which was really unacceptable.

But what can they do with this group of people, the power is under the control of Jia Yidao, they have no soldiers and no wealth, and they can only sigh helplessly. In my heart, I still hope that Zhao Rui can make a difference, so that Jia Yidao and other officials can also understand the current situation.

The carriage was traveling on the official road, and Zhao Rui was also enjoying a moment of leisure, and it was estimated that when he returned to Fancheng, he would start fighting with all his might.

Originally, Xiao Yi was a little unhappy about what happened just now, and felt that Zhao Rui threw himself out and didn't help.

The pink little mouth had a tantrum, and in Zhao Rui's opinion, it was extremely tempting.

"Xiaoyi, I just don't want you to get hurt in any way." Zhao Rui said truthfully.

With just this sentence, Xiao Yi's heart has softened, and there is affection in her gaze when she stares at Zhao Rui.

Xiao Yi knows that his martial arts may not hurt him much in the world, but the young master is so full of care, no matter when, Xiao Yi will be sincerely moved.

Perhaps, this is fate.

Under Xiao Yiqiao's hands, Zhao Rui's change of clothes has been neatly folded and wrapped in a clean cloth.

After Zhao Rui arrived in Fancheng, Zhao Gong's eyeliner also received news that at this time, a large number of Yuan troops were gathering from the west to Kaifeng Mansion, and they should be preparing to launch a deadly attack on Zhao Rui.

Although Zhao Rui knew that the Yuan Dynasty could not give up, thinking about the current situation, it was really a little anxious.

Xiangyang is still surrounded by about 600,000 Yuan troops, already like a giant elephant that is difficult to shake, if the north is besieged by a huge number of Yuan troops, under the front and back, although Zhao Rui will not be defeated, but there will be losses is certain.

Zhao Rui's losses here are not only the population, especially firearms such as mortars, but also extremely precious.

The mortars made by Wanya Prefecture through hard work, each one is incomparably precious, Zhao Rui still has to rely on them to fight the world, if it is indiscriminately covered by the Yuan army's return artillery, the consequences are also unpredictable.

In this case, Zhao Rui looked at Xiangyang City from afar, thinking that it was time to completely solve the Yuan army in Xiangyang, and at least destroy their heavy weapons.

It's easy to think, but it's hard to do, the Yuan army is a person with long legs and can run, even if Zhao Rui's ammunition is still sufficient, it can't be consumed openly.

If Zhao Rui has any weaknesses, then the excessively long supply line is the most serious of them!

Therefore, opening up the connection between Fancheng and Xiangyang and speeding up the process of the war has become a top priority.

Therefore, Zhao Rui is ready to use the old method to build a pontoon bridge!

Although there is now a naval army of the Yuan Dynasty to obstruct it, it can't stand Zhao Rui's side, and there is already a hand**.

On the one hand, the musketeers on the shore can snipe the sailors who come to obstruct them, and on the other hand, the soldiers on the bamboo rafts can also throw shooters ** to give the Yuan warships a hard blow.

Hand ** for wooden boats, full of power, the Yuan army sank dozens of boats in an instant, so they didn't dare to surround it again, sometimes just shooting arrows from afar, but the distance was beyond the range of the musket, and there was really no way to take Zhao Rui's side for a while.

Zhao Rui's side was determined to take control of the river area, so when the Yuan army's return artillery appeared, it would be directly destroyed by mortar artillery, and the Yuan army had no temper at all.

They all knew that Xiangyang needed Fancheng's assistance, and there were not many materials left in the besieged Xiangyang, but the Yuan army had no way to resist it.

Here, too, the newly developed Mauser played a big role, and although it was more cumbersome to pull the bolt, it had another benefit, which greatly improved the accuracy of the team's shooting.

At the same time, Zhao Rui also considered the problem of replenishing troops early on, and sent a letter to Ma Yue, who was far away.

On the one hand, it is to let Ma Yue continue to interweave conscriptions, on the other hand, it is to let him go north immediately, and at the same time vigorously publicize the heroic deeds of Xiangyang against the Yuan, so that the people of the entire Southern Song Dynasty have a clear understanding of the battle of Xiangyang, so as to attract a large number of loyal martyrs to join the anti-Yuan army.

These two aspects are Zhao Rui's measures to increase his troops, although he can't see much effect in a short time, but this is a must-do homework, and it has also become Zhao Rui's last reliance to defend Xiangfan.

Previously, because of the deliberate news blockade by the imperial court, the people in the south did not know that Xiangfan was invaded at all, but only knew that the Song and Yuan dynasties were engaged in war.

And Zhao Rui asked Ma Yue to do this, which is also extremely correct.
