In a mansion that has been sorted out in Fancheng.

Lu Qian is burying the first case. Of course, he doesn't have to worry about war, but he has more to do in government affairs. The secretary and supervisor are no longer the original twelve, and now there are no less than twenty. It is either with the six ministries and five prefectures, or with the State Administration of Taxation, the courts, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It's like a small court.

And while Lehe is in the governor's house, he also has a counterpart department, the spy department.

On this day, the letter sent by Cao Zheng surprised him, and he was busy reporting to Lu Qian that he knew.

"Zeng Rong, Zeng Kui ......"

He hadn't heard of these two names for a long time, and the small Zeng Tou City had long been forgotten by him. Now he jumped out of the Jurchen realm. In particular, the duty they are likely to be carrying is to enter the customs and have a secret conversation with Zhao Song......

Lu Qian instantly remembered Yan Qing, "Pass the order and tell Yan Qing to pay close attention." "Will Zhao Song ally with the Jurchens, or will the Jurchens ally with Zhao Song? If it is the former, then the intention is self-explanatory. In this way, Lu Qian had the urge to kill Zhao Ji right now.

And God seemed to feel his mood, outside a patch of black clouds covered the sky, the haze was dense, and after a while, the raindrops converged and crackled.

It's going to be cold when it's raining. After all, it is the rain in the second half of September, and it can be mixed with the winter rain. Hit on the body, cold and cold.

There is no violence of summer rain, nor is it the softness of autumn rain.

After five days of rain, the three ditches outside the two camps of the Liangshan Army under Lumen Mountain were full of water, and the weather finally cleared, but in less than two days, it was black clouds again, and the cold and biting rain fell.

This time it's not going down day and night, it's going slowly, but I don't see God's real sunshine. The black cloud overhead was like a boulder on top of it, making people breathless.

The long-prepared offensive of Lumen Mountain was directly stopped by Lu Qian.

It was raining so coldly, the mountain road was already slippery, and the bows and crossbows were unusable, so the soldiers were called to feint with knives and guns, did they think that there was a lack of stones on Lumen Mountain? Or is it because there is a Lumen Temple on the mountainside, this is a good place to bury the body?

It doesn't matter if you take it here or not. Because Lu Qian was not prepared to seize Xiangyang this time. Thousands of Song troops guarded there, like a chicken rib, and it was a pity to abandon it if it was tasteless.

Therefore, when the news came from the Huainan battlefield that Chao Gai had broken into the Lujiang River, Lu Qian laughed, and immediately ordered the whole army to go home.

Of course, he will not really return to Nanyang all the way, but the army can only stay on the line of Dengzhou-Tangzhou, not on the bank of the Han River.

Fancheng was still left to Song Jun. It's too close to Xiangyang, and there's no danger to defend.

Stepping on the autumn rain that still never stopped, at the end of September, Lu Qian withdrew his troops.

Tens of thousands of troops moved, so that the Song army on the other side was not nervous. On Yan Mountain, Wang Shixuan knew for the first time that the Liangshan army on the other side was moving, so he hurriedly came out of the big tent to watch. I don't know why, but he wasn't nervous after hearing the report.

Looking at the direction of the Liangshan military camp on the opposite bank, the clairvoyant mirror in his hand did not need to be opened, Wang Shixuan could take a full view of the movement of the Liangshan military camp on the other side of the river.

This is not like a posture for war, but rather a pull-out.

In the blink of an eye, it was raining in the sky, and in this climate, the land thief's skull was kicked by a donkey?

In Fancheng, before the army was cleaned up, Lu Qian first put on his coat and rode on a war horse, and then rushed out of the city. His cloak is special, and there is a layer of wax cloth under the grass to keep out moisture and moisture.

He wore a Fan Yang hat on his head, which was also made of oil wax cloth. The good horse that sat down was in good spirits in the rain, and it had been in the stable for many days, and today it was able to move its muscles and bones, even if the ground was full of water and silt, it must have been happy.

"Gone. When this king makes a comeback next time, he will go to Xiangyang. As soon as he had said that, he turned his horse's head and galloped north.

The army slowly retreated, and the pace shook the earth, like a torrent, slowly returning.

Zhizhou Yamen in Xiangyang City on the south bank of the Han River.

Yao Gu is dealing with official business, personnel deployment, collection of all kinds of intelligence, and mobilization of grain and grass, and he is also busy.

"Report!" The sergeant's report suddenly sounded outside, but it was Wang Xiaozhong who asked to see him.

Yao Gu raised his head sharply and was invited into the lobby. After the two greeted each other, Wang Xiaozhong sat down and said excitedly: "So that the prime minister knows that the young general was patrolling at the south end of the pontoon bridge today and noticed some noise on the other side." Although he thought that the Liangshan thieves should not attack in such weather, it was still safe to take a pedestrian boat to visit, but they saw that the other army had pulled out the village and collected the flag, and had already gone north. ”

"The Liangshan army has retreated......" Yao Gu stood up abruptly. He had just received a letter that the Huainan battlefield had been lost, the Lujiang River had been broken, and Yang Weizhong's troops had suffered heavy losses, even Yang Weizhong himself was almost not in the battle. It stands to reason that this is a good time for the Liangshan army to exert its strength to the south.

The Chao Gai army in Huainan can now attack Jiangzhou, so that the western army has to retreat; can also approach Ezhou, so that Liu Guangguo's troops will be attacked on both sides, why did they withdraw their troops at this time?

Wang Xiaozhong was also puzzled, and when he saw Yao Gu opening the map with a surprised face, he said, "Isn't there something wrong with Jiangzhou?" After all, Yang Weizhong was only seriously injured, not killed, and his troops also suffered heavy losses, not the annihilation of the entire army.

In any case, the retreat of the Liangshan army was a great joy for them.

Yao Gu hurriedly sent scouts to cross the river, paying close attention to the movements of the Liangshan army, and he must not be caught off guard by his return shot.

However, it is also strange to say that the rain in Xiangfan is continuous, even Ezhou, Hanyang, and Xiaogan are all raining constantly, as well as the Jingmen army, and the Zhangshui and Fushui that flow through this place, the water surface has skyrocketed.

But the rain came to an abrupt end when it reached Yongsan in the north of Gangneung Province.

The rain in the north of the mountain has been endless so far, and the south of the mountain has not fallen. It is only a dozen miles away from Gangneung City.

The sky of Gangneung City is blue and blue, reflecting the bright swords and guns of the soldiers inside and outside the city. Now the palace of Zhao Song is made of the Yamen rectification by the pacification of Jinghu North Road, and many people's houses and mansions have been demolished around, but Zhao Song has spare money to build palaces, and those vacant land are still just vacant land.

If so, rumors circulated in the city that the Song family had no money, and in just a few days, it evolved from the imperial court having no money to build a palace to the palace where the emperor slept and the roof leaked and had no money to repair it. This rumor is outrageous.

But the rainfall, which covered most of the Jingxiang River Basin, and Lu Qian's withdrawal, gave this outrageous rumor a different kind of brilliance. Now some people in Jiangling City say that this is because the heavens can't stand it, so they don't let it rain in Jiangling, so as not to make the true dragon Tianzi sleep unstable. And the reason for calling Xiangfan down is to make the Liangshan army unable to stay and fight.

Wang Dingliu, who had just come out of a shop, was a little surprised, and the rumors in Jiangling City seemed to have popped up overnight.

In the mouths of the people, Zhao Guan's family is a real dragon, the son of heaven, the son of God, God will naturally take care of him. These people did not mean to joke in their words, but Wang Dingliu knew the influence of this rumor.

Sure enough, the rumors in Gangneung City soon evolved again.

What is the reason why the Zhao official family has no money to build the palace and live in a dilapidated palace, of course, it is because the official family knows that the state affairs have been difficult recently, and they understand that they have done a lot of wrong things in the past few years. There is even more Zhao Guan's family is reluctant to spend money, in order to save money and raise soldiers.

Yes, the essence of this official family is still good. Earlier, they were all deceived by traitors and seduction. And as for who those traitors are, of course Tong Guan and Gao Yu are already dead, but are they still alive Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng?

But obviously, after such publicity, it was the Zhao official family and the Zhao and Song dynasties that benefited. At this time, what else does Wang Dingliu not understand? Behind that rumor is Zhao Song making trouble, the person who handled it must be his old friend Huangcheng Division.
