In the face of the unprecedented epidemic, the Great Song Dynasty court panicked, Zhao Gou really had no choice, issued a "guilty edict", scolded himself fiercely, and personally went to the temple to incense and pray to the heavens. At this time, Qin Xi (Qin Hui's son) proposed to use the Yangtze River to implement isolation, prevent the infected people from crossing the river, and prevent them from spreading the epidemic to the Jiangnan area, Zhao Gou, who fled to Hangzhou, adopted this method and transferred troops from the south of the Yangtze River to establish a quarantine area to prevent the people in the north from crossing the river.

Qin Xi also suggested that in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, all the villages, towns and urban areas where people had died should be burned, and this suggestion was also agreed by Zhao Gou, who listened to Qin Xi's suggestion and specially appointed some people as "epidemic prevention envoys", promising them heavy benefits, and letting them take people to the epidemic area to burn uninhabited villages, towns and urban areas.

Amazingly, after three years of raging, the Black Death suddenly disappeared from the Central Plains. Zhao Gou thought that it was the result of his prayer to heaven for blessings, and he was overwhelmed, rewarded hundreds of officials and granted amnesty to the world, because of Qin Xi's meritorious advice, he promoted Qin Xi one after another, and finally made him the prime minister.

may be unwilling to recall this painful history and what he did during this period, Qin Xi deliberately eliminated everything related to this history during the period of Qin Xiwei, including the deeds of Yue Fei and other three generals, as well as Sun Hui's past.

Worried that he would be infected with the epidemic when he returned to the north, Zhao Gou stayed in Lin'an and refused to return to Tokyo and Kaifeng until he finally died there.

Next, the Song Dynasty experienced four successive inactive emperors Shunzong Zhao Hong, Xizong Zhao Shen, Suzong Zhao Pu, and Chunzong Zhao Han, and the national strength was declining day by day, while the northern Mongolia was becoming stronger and stronger, constantly attacking and devouring the Song Dynasty, and now to the current emperor Zhao Jun, many lands in the north of the Song Dynasty have fallen into the hands of the Mongol army.

And Sun Hui listened to Lu Wenhuan's narration and finally understood how the Song Dynasty fell into such a field step by step.

He didn't expect that he would change the direction of history, but this time the result was that history seemed to be back on the same path, but many different things happened in between.

Sun Hui sighed for a long time and asked Lu Wenhuan about the situation of the Lu clan.

According to Lu Wenhuan's account, Lu Wende, the leader of the Lu clan, and Lu Wende, Jin Yongli, are completely two people.

Lu Wende was born at the time of the confrontation between Song and Mongolia, and Huainan was the front line of the Song Dynasty against the enemy. One day, Lu Wende went into the city to sell firewood, and the dilapidated straw sandals were still on the side of the road, and were discovered by the military marshal Zhao Kui, which changed his life.

Zhao Kui is the son of Zhao Fang, the ambassador of Song Jinghu, who governed the army as a Confucian minister, went through five dynasties, and was the right prime minister and privy envoy. In the sixth year of Song Chunzong's Kangding reign (1233 AD), the imperial court appointed Zhao Kui as the envoy of Huaidong to pacify and defend the border. One day in the same year, Zhao Kui led the army to inspect the city defense, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a rotten straw sandal on the side of the road, which was more than a foot long. Zhao Kui was secretly surprised, and then interviewed the local residents, some people said that it was left by the black man who sold firewood. After Zhao Kui's inspection, he arranged for the officials to visit. At dusk, the little official finally found Lu Wende's dilapidated house, and was about to knock on the door to ask, when he suddenly saw a big man carrying a burden, and couldn't help but be shocked, it turned out that the big man picked a tiger and a deer, and the colorful tiger seemed to have not died yet! The big man is Lu Wende, and the tiger and the deer are his results that day. So the little official stepped forward to show the coach's affection. Because it was dark and the road was far away, Wende stayed with the little officials, and the next day the two went to see Zhao Kui together, Zhao rewarded his martial arts, and immediately stayed in front of the tent to serve.

Lu Wende was born in a peasant family, never studied, knew a little bit of writing, and lived by picking and hunting on weekdays, and practiced a strong fitness board, so that he could fight bravely and be resourceful. His clan brothers Wenhuan, Wenxin, Wenfu, Wenxing, Zi Shikui, Shi Meng, and his friend Xia Gui, etc., are all strong and strong, and they are poor and poor in order to protect themselves, and they form groups to control the strong and strong, and they have a small prestige in the local area.

After Lu Wende joined the army, he no longer had the worry of being frustrated, and he was rewarded with his title, so he worked hard and ran errands and listened to the calls. In several encounters with the Mongols, he brandished his long sword, charged forward, and was quickly promoted to the rank of petty leader. Lu Wende never forgot his old man, and successively invited his brothers, nephews and old playmates Xia Gui to join the army. Now they have changed from the people of the mountains and wilderness to the officers and soldiers who eat the emperor's grain, and their patriotism and patriotism have been stimulated, and they have worked hard to kill the enemy, so Lu Wende's army has won many small victories and gradually gained fame. Zhao Kui was also interested in accompaniment, and within a few years, Lu Wende was promoted, and within two or three years, the department grew from a team of twenty or thirty people to a partial division of two or three thousand people. The team was strong, and Lu Wende's ambition was high, so he deliberately practiced and rectified military discipline. Its soldiers have been hunting for many years, and now they are tired of drilling, one by one like black charcoal, and the Mongolian soldiers are fierce enemies, and they see each other and say: The black charcoal army is the best! In September of the second year of Taixi (1238 AD), the Mongolian general Chahan led a large army to besiege Luzhou, and Lu Wende fought with it in Zhu Gao and Bai Mound under the command of the main general Du Gao.

The Black Carbon Army has repeatedly made border achievements, the Song Dynasty has rewarded meritorious deeds, and Lu Wende has been continuously promoted. In February of the third year of Fuyou (1243 AD), Lu Wende was the observer envoy of Fuzhou and the deputy commander of the guard horse army. In February of the fifth year, Lu Wende restored the five rivers and entered the third rank. During this period, due to the bloody battle of the Black Carbon Army, the Song Army held the first line of the Huai River; Lu Wende became famous in a hundred battles and was deeply relied on by the imperial court. After the general Liu Cheng descended to the Yuan Dynasty, he once said: "The southerners only rely on a black charcoal group." This shows the strength and status of the "Black Carbon Army".

In the second year of Baofu (1254 AD), the Song Dynasty ordered President Lu Wende to serve the military of Jiangling, Hanyang, Gui, Xia, Xiang and Yingzhu Towns, and to place the public security department and make overall arrangements. In July of the following year, Lü Wende moved to Ezhou and controlled the five prefectures of Ding, Li, Chen, Yuan, and Jing. With the large-scale invasion of the Mongol army to the south, the Song army was defeated and retreated, and most of the land north of the Yangtze River was lost, and the Yangtze River became the front line against the Mongol army. Xisai Mountain is one of the few natural barriers in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Lü Wende's son Lü Shikui was the envoy of the Jiangzhou Xingguo Army along the Yangtze River, guarding the line from Jiangzhou to Ezhou on the Yangtze River, and the Xisai Mountain was a strategic place, and it was also a Caoyun wharf, Lü Wende built a barracks in the Taoist priests at the foot of the Xisai Mountain, built a military warehouse, stored food and equipment, and prepared for a protracted war. In order to show his loyalty to the country and share his life with the country, he moved his family to Taoist Shihu, and took his place as the base camp, and the governor was military along the river.
