From Xiangyang City to Ezhou City in half a month, Jia Rudao's speed is not slow. In addition to the reason that he mainly relied on two legs to hurry, more than half of his time was spent attending the banquet specially held for him by passing prefectural and county officials.

When he went, because he was in a hurry, Jia Rudao took his things and didn't eat, but he said that when he came back, if he didn't show his closeness and compassion for these officials, I was afraid that even if none of these officials dared to say anything, there would definitely be resentment in his heart.

Jia seems to say that the reputation of the white-eyed wolf is afraid that he will not be able to escape.

Therefore, Jia Rudao did not refuse the invitation of those officials too much on the way back. In addition to appeasing these officials, Jia Rudao naturally has his plans.

Here, Jia Rudao is willing to fight in various prefectures and counties, even if it is only one day and a few meals, but it still makes the various state capitals along the way boil.

Why?

The reason is very simple, Jia Nidao on the return trip is naturally different from Jia Nidao when he went to Xiangyang City.

Jia Rudao's insistence on going to Xiangyang City to sacrifice the army did make many people admire his courage in their hearts, but in addition to admiration, there are no longer a few people who ridicule him for not even wanting his life for the sake of fame.

Kou Wen Buhua personally supervised the south to besiege Xiangyang City, even if there were more than 200,000 Jinghu troops stationed in Xiangyang City, although no one said that they were not optimistic about Xiangyang City, but basically everyone meant that.

Xiangyang City will definitely not be able to hold on, the only thing to see is how long it can last.

For this point, even Zhao Yun acquiesced, otherwise he would not have transferred all the sailors near Xiangyang in order to keep the two major war zones of Sichuan and Huaidong.

Of course, the reason why Zhao Yun dared to transfer all the sailors near Xiangyang City was because Xiangyang was still so far away from the Yangtze River after all, with this buffer, even if Meng Heng's troops were defeated and withdrew from Xiangyang City, the Great Song Dynasty would have enough time to lay out a defensive line on the front line of Ezhou, after all, on the first line of Ezhou and Huangzhou, there were more than 200,000 Jinghu troops, and even the imperial army also had two armies nearby.

Compared with the Sichuan and Huaidong theaters, which could be forcibly crossed by the Mongols at any time, even if Xiangyang City was lost, the impact on the current shape of the Great Song Dynasty would obviously be much smaller than that of the other two places.

After all, regardless of the strategic significance of removing Xiangyang City, Sichuan, which is the granary of the Great Song Dynasty, and Jiankang Mansion, which is the accompanying capital, no matter which one is lost, it is no less than the opening of the heart of the Great Song Dynasty that has demolished the east wall to make up the west wall, and the west wall and then the east wall.

If we can't get through it now, how can we talk about the future? Therefore, it is really not surprising that Zhao Yun gave up Xiangyang City.

But the facts are always surprising, especially those related to this uncle.

Originally, everyone in the world thought that the abandoned Xiangyang City would inevitably be the first to be lost, of course, wasn't Xiangyang City still in the hands of the Mongols a month ago? However, to everyone's surprise, Xiangyang City was not only saved, but also seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with Kouwen Buhua, and even the two Mongol armies in Sichuan and Huaidong suspended their offensive because of Kouwen Buhua's order, and had the intention of retreating.

With Meng Heng's report of victory, some things that happened in Xiangyang City gradually spread.

Mouth Wen didn't spend a moment to personally set up a banquet in front of the two armies to entertain Meng Hui and Jia Yidao? Another powerful firearm has come out of Xiangyang City? It seems that the Mongols were willing to include Bianliang and Kaifeng in the peace talks for the sake of something in the Great Song Dynasty?

……

Meng Heng's good news report was to leave Xiangyang City three days earlier than Jia Rudao. Maybe it was deliberately spread by someone with a heart, maybe it was accidentally spread, or maybe it was all gossip chasing after the wind, but no matter what, it once again made the battle of Xiangyang City the most eye-catching thing in the Great Song Dynasty.

What happened in Xiangyang City, what kind of role did the young uncle who happened to rush to Xiangyang City to sacrifice the army play in it, but it caught the appetite of the world.

Before Jia Rudao arrived in Xiangyang City, several urgent letters and newspapers in Xiangyang City were transmitted to Lin'an every day, ordinary people didn't know, but the state officials along the way knew that after all, the channels were all over the territory under their jurisdiction, right?

And not long after the young high-ranking official entered Xiangyang City, Xiangyang City actually reported victory! And it's a big win! If it is said that it has nothing to do with the uncle, no one believes it.

Therefore, the well-informed officials along the way suddenly became lively again.

No matter what happened in Xiangyang City, and no matter what the young uncle did in it this time, at least one thing was certain. That is, just by virtue of the fact that he insisted on going to Xiangyang City to sacrifice the army in person regardless of the danger, it was already a great achievement.

What's more, when Zhao Yun was still in Xiangyang City at its most critical, in order to keep the Sichuan and Huaidong war zones, he also transferred all the sailors near Xiangyang City.

With Jia Yidao's identity, why did he fall into Xiangyang City? Not for the emperor yet? For the Great Song Dynasty? Zhao Yun gave up Xiangyang City at a critical time, although it was excusable, but he was sure that he owed Jia Yidao in his heart.

Compensation plus credit, two plus one, a group of active-minded officials, but their hearts can't help but tremble!

Could it be that the young uncle who is already a third grade of the DPRK is going to enter the cabinet this time?

Before the year of establishment, he will enter the cabinet! From the founding of the Great Song Dynasty to the present, it seems that there has never been a precedent, right? Such a young high-ranking official, even if he can't hug his thighs and form a good fate, it is necessary. This also directly led to Jia Rudao's return to Lin'an, which was unusually slow.

Of course, Jia Rudao is like this, but he also has thoughts in his heart. The Yamen of the General Department of the City Ship, now there is still a lot of officials, and if the General Department of the City Port radiates to the whole country, the officials needed will be more.

Therefore, he stopped along the way to go to the banquet, but in fact, he had already begun to plan to dig into the corner. The local officials of the Great Song Dynasty had wine bags and rice bags, but there were also talented people who had no way to serve the country.

Here, hearing Zhao Yi's words, Jia Yidao frowned slightly.

It seems that the news of Yu Tianxi's sudden death of Prime Minister Zuo has not yet spread, otherwise Hong Wenhao, the capital of Ezhou, would not still have a big banquet anyway, after all, he drank and had fun on the occasion of the funeral of the important ministers of the country.

If he didn't know about Yu Tianxi's death, he could naturally go to the banquet, but now that he already knows, it would not be appropriate to go again. Not to mention Yu Tianxi's relationship with him, just in Yu Ci's face, he can't do this, right?

"You go and invite Lord Hong here." Jia Rudao thought for a while and said, "Well, I also went to call Ye Mingshen as well." ”

When Jia Rudao left Xiangyang City, he did what he said and brought Ye Mingshen's family with him. Yu Tianxi passed away, and his plans had to be changed in the future.

Whether he wants to wade into the troubled waters of Lin'an City or not, he must rush back to Lin'an City as much as he can.
