At this time, Zhang Shijie, the privy envoy of Wenchen's loyalty, spoke: "According to what the minister has seen, King Yongping's firearms are sharp, but after all, I don't know much about the situation, I think it is better to let him go to Yingzhou, and cooperate with Li Tingzhi, the Jinghu system, is more stable, and it is convenient to give full play to the advantages of Yongping King's firearms!" ”

As soon as Zhang Shijie spoke, the court was silent, no one was talking, just secretly looking at Jia Yidao's face.

If it is according to the usual theory, the Privy Council is in charge of the military, Zhang Shijie's words should be the specific implementation method, but Jia Yidao's obstruction is absolutely inseparable.

Because Li Tingzhi and Jia Yidao were old enemies before, when Li Tingzhi was the prime minister of Zuo, he was at odds with Jia Yidao, and as a result of the final battle, Jia Yidao not only demoted Wen Tianxiang in his faction, but also sent Li Tingzhi to Yingzhou to support Xiangyang.

Now that he intends to unite King Yongping's army with Li Tingzhi, then Jia Yidao will definitely have an idea!

But Zhang Shijie is also trying his best to avoid conflicts with Jia Yidao, and generally does not express his opinions, but now there is some-for-tat, I'm afraid there will be a good show today!

Zhang Shijie was also extremely worried at this time, on the face he was saying it to the emperor, but in fact he was asking Jia Yidao what he meant.

Zhang Shijie estimated that things would not go as he wished, but the main force of the anti-Yuan Dynasty had always been arranged by himself, maybe Jia Yidao would take this into account and have some concerns, otherwise the Southern Song Dynasty would also be the death of the country based on relationships.

Jia Yidao, who was being looked at by everyone, finally spoke.

"Since Master Zhang Shijie has already arranged it, let's do it, but King Yongping is loyal, so you have to be careful to entertain him!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was stunned.

Thinking about why Taishi changed his temper today, he actually helped Zhang Shijie to speak.

Zhang Shijie himself was also surprised, but it was a good thing to do things according to his own ideas, so he had to go to the herald to deliver the letter.

Zhao Yuan hurriedly added: "Let Zhao Rui send my medicine!" I'm still waiting to use it! ”

The power of Zhao Rui's mortar made the Yuan army frightened, and when he was thinking about designing, he couldn't find the shadow of Zhao Rui's army, and then he was attacked by mortars at the southern end of Dali.

The Yuan army and the Dali army rushed to the south again, but after resisting for several days, they learned from the spies that Zhao Rui actually led the army north, and the situation was to support Xiangyang.

Later, I learned that it was Sheliwei who had been attacking Dali, and he joined Zhao Rui's camp and received the help of mortars.

Originally, these people were going to besiege and intercept Zhao Rui, but the siege speed of Sheliwei was extremely fast, so people had to guard against it, so they could only spread the news to Dadu.

Boljin was bound to win Xiangyang, and Zhao Rui couldn't help but be a little nervous when he heard that he was going, so he sent more manpower, which was bound to besiege Xiangyang.

At present, the situation in Xiangfan can be described as extremely critical, and the Tartars built a wall, wrapped the two cities of Xiangfan into a city within a city, and then surrounded the point to send reinforcements, so that Xiangfan could not get any material support.

The two cities had to run out of ammunition and food, and life was also very difficult, and Lu Wenhuan, the defender of Xiangyang City, tried to lead his troops to break through several times, but they all ended in failure.

With the identity of the prince, Zhao Rui went north unimpeded, and when he arrived at Jiangling Mansion, he met the herald of the imperial court.

The herald respectfully relayed the meaning of the imperial court and wanted to invite Zhao Rui to Yingzhou.

Originally, Zhao Rui wanted to go straight to Xiangyang and beat the Yuan army away, but the herald persuaded him again, saying that after several years of siege, the situation in Xiangyang was complicated, and he still went to Yingzhou to learn some information and fight again.

Zhao Rui thought about it, although his scouts could also inquire about information, but some details of the news were definitely not as accurate as the official ones.

So Zhao Rui led everyone from Jiangling to Yingzhou.

Li Tingzhi, the envoy of Jinghu who was stationed in Yingzhou to arrange the war, Zhao Rui happened to have heard of it, and he was an unyielding general in history.

At the beginning, after the city of Xiangfan was broken, he was stubbornly guarding Yangzhou and not letting a cent, and finally was rebelled by the Yuan army, and his subordinates took his wife and children to jump into the pool, and later because the water was shallow and did not drown, he was captured and killed by the Yuan army.

During this time, he must have received countless persuasions to surrender, but this person was not moved, and he was a real loyal martyr.

Knowing something, Zhao Rui and Li Tingzhi are also more respectful when they meet, and the two of them and Zhao Rui's generals are studying the map of Xiangfan and the location of the Yuan army's forces in the room.

After Li Tingzhi's explanation, Zhao Rui and his generals had a better understanding of Xiangfan's situation.

Xiangyang is located at the crossroads of a basin, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and runs through the east and west, north and south, and all have to pass through here. So no matter how you go around, Xiangyang is also a place that is absolutely unavoidable.

Therefore, as long as Xiangyang is held, the entire Hanjiang Plain will be held, and the Yuan army will not be able to pose a greater threat to the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, once Xiangyang is lost, then the entire Han River, and even the Yangtze River, which the Song people are proud of, will no longer be an obstacle to the Yuan army, and the Yuan army can drive straight into the Yuan Dynasty and break through the cities of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The importance of this geographical location is very clear to both the Yuan Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, although this is a city attacked by the Yuan army, but the elite of the two armies, the main force is all sent, after several years of bloody battles, more than 300,000 people have died.

And now, the Yuan army has also made great efforts to besiege Xiangyang, with a total of four groups of troops stationed on four highlands, among which Amu and Liu Zhengjun in Lumen Mountain in the east are the most powerful, and they have defeated the army that came to the rescue of the Southern Song Dynasty countless times.

It's November now, although Li Tingzhi said that it was in danger, but Zhao Rui knew that there was still a month to go before Fancheng would be broken.

And the Yuan army also slaughtered the city in anger because of the stubborn resistance of the Fancheng soldiers, such a cruel and inhumane act was one of the reasons why Zhao Rui wanted to stop the Yuan army.

After experiencing the massacre of Taiyuan Prefecture, Zhao Rui really didn't want to see the old and young women and children die tragically under the knife of the Tartars.

Zhao Rui pointed to the map and asked, "So as long as we destroy Amu Liu Zhengjun, we can send supplies to Xiangfan Second City!" ”

"En......" Li Tingzhi muttered: "Yes, although the armies on the other two sides will support quickly, as long as we open the gap, the time to deliver supplies will definitely be enough." Once the supplies are sufficient, it will not be so easy for the Yuan army to break the city again, and we will have time to rearrange the ......"

At this moment, there was a "bang", and a ball with a red silk cloth shattered the window paper and fell into the house.

Everyone was amazed and looked at Li Tingzhi.

"Alas!" Li Tingzhi sighed and sat on the chair with a look of helplessness.

"It's Fan Wenhu again, this guy is not only escaping from the battle, but he even has the face to come back and continue to have fun!"

Zhao Rui didn't know much about this name, and was about to continue listening, but an officer and soldier came to the door, pushed the door in, and saw Li Tingzhi and a cadre in the house, so he was stunned and said that he wanted the ball.

"Balls?"

Zhao Rui sneered: "What kind of thing, you won't report it when you enter the door, this is all the rules of your family's adult professor?" Get out, if you want the ball, let Fan Wenhu take it himself! ”

Although the officers and soldiers didn't know Zhao Rui, there was Li Tingzhi sitting in front of him, and he who could still shout and shout must be of a high status, so he hurriedly responded and went back.

"What's going on with this called Fan Wenhu?" Zhao Rui asked suspiciously.

Li Tingzhi replied indignantly: "He was originally a naval general, but he is Jia Yidao's henchman, before he arrived in Yingzhou, in order not to listen to my orders, let Jia Yidao promote him to Fuzhou Observation Envoy, and the army is also commanded by him. I wanted to enter the army many times, but Fan Wenhu pushed back on the grounds that the holy decree had not arrived. In June of this year, when the Han River flooded, he had no choice but to send troops, but the army fled halfway before it reached Lumen Mountain. Can...... But now he still has the face to come back and continue to play in the army, and I have written to impeach him, but there is still no reply......"

Li Tingzhi pressed his brows, obviously asking Fan Wenhu to make him feel bad.

When the country was in danger, there were such generals who had no good karma, and it was strange that they were so unbreakable, so Zhao Rui hated Fan Wenhu.

"Who would dare to withhold my polo and not return it?"

There was a bang, and the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a sturdy figure and a slight fortune came in.

This person didn't look at Li Tingzhi when he entered the house, but was more interested in Zhao Rui and others.

"You are Zhao Rui, the king of Yongping? I didn't think I was so young......"

Zhao Rui thought, this Fan Wenhu can be called by his name, and he must also know the news of his arrival, so he smashed the ball in, is he going to give a dismount?

Seeing Zhao Rui looking at him, Fan Wenhu said with a grin: "I heard that your firearms are very powerful, just right, I am preparing to attack Lumen Mountain in the near future, so you can give me the front!" ”

The generals on Zhao Rui's side all looked at Zhao Rui, showing a worried look, Fan Wenhu was also happy when he saw it, how is the prince, I have military power in my hands, and I haven't been called around yet!

In fact, the generals are not worried about Fan Wenhu, but worried that Zhao Rui will directly clean up Fan Wenhu in anger, although it is nothing, but it is not good-looking after all, and it may affect the morale of the army, after all, the Southern Song Dynasty has more troops here.

At the same time, Zhao Rui and the others also wondered if Fan Wenhu was crazy, how could he dare to treat a prince of the dynasty like this.

In fact, the blame is that Zhao Rui was too famous in the court at the beginning, just like Sun Wukong injured the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and Taishi Jia, who was respected by others, dared to provoke.

Fan Wenhu also knew about his festival with the Taishi, so he dared to speak so arrogantly, what about him as a prince, he just had a fief on a small border, and he commanded the army presumably, not at all on the same order of magnitude.

"You want the ball, huh?"

Zhao Rui did not have a seizure immediately, but bent down and picked up the ball and walked in front of Fan Wenhu.

Since then, Fan Wenhu doesn't take Zhao Rui seriously, and his smile has become more and more obvious.
