"Yes." Ye Chuchu nodded and said solemnly, "The so-called born in sorrow and died in peace." The literati of the Song Dynasty had been soaking in honey water for too long, and they were used to it, and a slight stimulation was not enough, and they had to be beaten hard. Now the Mongols are this awl. ”

Hearing Ye Chuchu's metaphor of "awl", Xiao Tiantian couldn't help laughing.

Sun Hui knew that what Ye Chuchu said was not wrong at all, taking the famous Wen Tianxiang as an example, the history records "Prime Minister Wen Cheng has a luxurious nature, he is very self-respecting in his life, and he is full of voices." and heard of the national disaster, self-restraint and self-damage, and used his family wealth to reward the army, and this public hero was also a hero. Wen Tianxiang is a representative of patriotism, a loyal minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he is also "full of voices" on weekdays, which shows that the social atmosphere at that time was like this. Compared with the Northern Song Dynasty, the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty was greatly reduced, but it had a prosperous Jiangnan region, although its military could not be called strong, but the economy was still very developed, especially the capital Lin'an, the population had reached 1.24 million at that time, and the living standard was quite high, and the social welfare was also very good. Some people even think that the Southern Song Dynasty was partial to the south of the Yangtze River, and the people's life was too comfortable, so they did not want to make progress and were not good at fighting. For the Southern Song Dynasty, the economic development was not necessarily all good, it was at least one reason for the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Last time, I remember that Brother Sun seemed to have said something similar, he didn't destroy the Jin Kingdom immediately, he just wanted to keep it to stimulate the Great Song Dynasty to think of danger in peace, but it didn't seem to be operating very well." Xiao Tiantian looked at Sun Hui and smiled.

"Yes, the special Jin State actually let Yelu Dashi be destroyed, and after the Liao State was restored, it could have played such a role, but it didn't turn out that it was corrupted faster than the Song Dynasty, and it was easy for Mongolia to be destroyed." Sun Hui remembered Lu Wenhuan's story, and said with some annoyance.

"In that case, shouldn't we be the Condor Heroes to help guard Xiangyang?" Xiao Tiantian asked.

"We still have to help defend Xiangyang, in history, after the fall of Xiangyang, it took only two or three years of effort, and Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, fell, and the Southern Song Dynasty was basically destroyed." Sun Hui replied.

"Yes, Tiantian, our purpose is to pierce people awake with an awl, but not an awl to kill people." Ye Chuchu said with a smile.

"I heard that the Yuan Dynasty established by the Mongols perished in less than a hundred years, is it also the same as the Liao State, which corroded the prosperous Song Dynasty?" Xiao Tiantian blinked and asked.

"It's not all, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty paid attention to this at the time, although Kublai Khan admired Han culture, but the Mongols did not have a complete sinicization like the Liao State, so later the Ming Dynasty was established, and after they could not gain a foothold in the Central Plains, they retreated to the grassland." Sun Hui replied, "After retreating into the grassland, they survived for more than twenty years before they perished under the blows of the Ming army and internal cannibalism. ”

"Then let the Song Dynasty corrupt the Mongols as well?" Xiao Tiantian asked innocently.

"In that case, it's a kind of 'reverse elimination'," Sun Hui shook his head, "It's hard to say what we will become in the future." ”

"So it's really important to change the Song Dynasty." Ye Chuchu said, "This time, we have to learn a lesson, and we can't be as soft-hearted as you used to be, otherwise we will lose all our previous achievements, and history will come full circle, and we will return to the same development track as before." ”

"Not this time." Sun Hui had already made up his mind at this time to make earth-shaking changes in the Song Dynasty!

The iron boat returned to the Song army's fleet, and at this time, whether it was Gao Hu on the warship or Fan Tianshun on the pontoon, they all let out a long breath when they saw the Yuan army's big battle fleet retreating.

After returning to the pontoon, Sun Hui, Ye Chuchu, and Xiao Tiantian checked Wang Linlin's injuries again, and saw that she was recovering quickly, Sun Hui and Xiao Tiantian were relieved and couldn't stop amusing her, but Ye Chuchu looked at the six steel arrows from the enemy, his face was solemn, and he was silent for a long time.

After the defeat of the Yuan army, it did not come again, the Yuan army that had attacked Fancheng from the land direction also stopped the attack and retreated to the camp, Sun Hui and others returned to Xiangyang, Lu Wenhuan had already received the battle report at this time, learned that the Yuan army had won a big victory, kept the pontoon bridge, captured Zhang Hongfan alive, and was overjoyed, Sun Hui told him the news that Jia Rudao led Fan Wenhu's water army to come to the rescue, and asked him to quickly send someone to get in touch with Jia Rudao, Lu Wenhuan immediately arranged for people to set off, and invited Sun Hui to go to Fancheng to inspect together.

Sun Hui had previously arranged for Du Lili to enter Fancheng with the soldiers and civilians who assisted Fancheng, and used her ability to "soil" to help the defenders of Fancheng repair the city wall, he only knew that during the period when Fancheng was cut off from the outside world, the city defense situation must be grim, but he didn't expect that the situation was far worse than he imagined. Under the fierce attack of the Yuan army, the city wall of Fancheng has been riddled with holes, only because the stone cannon (stone throwing machine) of the Yuan army is not powerful enough, and the soldiers and civilians in the city are rushing to repair it at night, the city wall has not collapsed.

At this time, Sun Hui couldn't help but secretly rejoice that the "return artillery" that attacked the Song army fleet had been destroyed, and if these "return artillery" were used to attack Fancheng, the wall of Fancheng would collapse.

Fortunately, Du Lili gave her strength, after she came to Fancheng, she used her ability to move earth and stone to repair the city wall, and soon repaired the most damaged southwest section of the city wall, and then she successively repaired the city wall facing the Han River, after her efforts and the assistance of the military and civilians of Fancheng, it only took one night, the city wall of Fancheng has been repaired. In order to thank her for her help, the people in the city actually made a statue of her and set up a shrine, which made her cry and laugh for a while.

Sun Hui and Lu Wenhuan inspected the city defense accompanied by Fan Tianshun and Niu Fu, Sun Hui found that the land troops of the Yuan army did not retreat far away, and could launch a new attack on Fancheng at any time, in order to consolidate the city defense, Sun Hui carefully checked the terrain, and asked the restored Wang Linlin to assist Du Lili to build a trench fortification around the city under the outer city wall, with a wooden fence, to form a peripheral defense line, so as to cooperate with the defenders on the city wall to defend. Du Lili and Wang Linlin immediately took action, and at this time, Sun Hui saw the other side of Du Lili and Wang Linlin's abilities.

Du Lili used the method of moving earth and rock to dig the trenches, instead of the way of ground subsidence that Sun Hui originally imagined, probably because of her experience in the Soviet-German battlefield, she was too impressed by the Soviet trench fortifications at that time, and the trenches were almost identical. Wang Linlin's way of building a wooden fence is even more unique, she does not move the wood to erect it, but let the shrubs and thorns grow out of the ground quickly, forming a pure natural wooden fence on the periphery of the trench.
