For Zhang Jun, the commander of the Zaoyang Army, and the Zaoyang soldiers who hurriedly set up an ambush when they turned back, in fact, this could not be regarded as an ambush, at least it could not be regarded as a well-prepared ambush, at most it could only be regarded as a life-threatening blockade.

If it weren't for the fact that Qi Shan and the others left the brigade because of arrogance and fearlessness, the most that Peng Shan and the others faced was a harassment from a small number of Zaoyang troops who were used to break off. But even so, this battle, which was an ambush for the Zaoyang army, still entered a state of anxiety from the beginning.

Zhang Jun, a thousand pro-soldiers who broke away from the brigade to explore the way, sent his nephew Zhang Xinqin to lead 3,000 Zaoyang troops, and tried to eat the 1,000 pro-soldiers in the shortest possible time, as for Zhang Jun himself, he personally led 2,000 pro-soldiers plus 5,000 Zaoyang troops to drag the remaining 5,000 Western Xia soldiers of Qianshan; The third road cut off the back road of Qianshan with the largest number of troops, which was nearly 10,000 Zaoyang troops commanded by Liao Yi personally under the command of the Zaoyang army, and Liao Yi's task was also the heaviest, he not only had to block Qianshan's retreat and assist Zhang Jun to attack Qianshan, but also to withstand the crazy counterattack of nearly 20,000 Western Xia soldiers in the rear.

It can be expected that once the Western Xia soldiers, who are only a few miles behind in the rear, receive the news that Qian Shan is trapped, they will definitely fight to save him. Use 10,000 Zaoyang troops to block the Western Xia soldiers who are crazy for the sake of the Savior, and they don't know the hardships and dangers.

There is very little time for Zhang Jun, Zhang Xin, and Liao Yi. A distance of several miles as long as the Western Xia soldiers run wildly, but a stick of incense time, in a stick of incense in the time of a stick of incense to solve the more than 7,000 troops of Qianshan, if Zhang Jun with more than 20,000 troops to attack, it will take at least an hour to complete, now, Zhang Jun does not want to be able to behead Qianshan in a battle, just think about trying to kill and injure the thousands of troops around Qianshan, so that he is unable to continue to chase the Zaoyang army.

In the final analysis, in fact, the most important part of this battle is Zhang Xin's 3,000 Zaoyang army, as long as he can eat the 1,000 Qianshan soldiers in the shortest time, and turn around to help Zhang Jun, under the attack of the Zaoyang army on both sides, if the luck is good enough, there is still a little possibility that the Qianshan will be left.

This kind of luck, especially when the two armies are facing each other, even Zhang Jun himself doesn't believe it. He was just a little annoyed that the Zaoyang army didn't have more archers, and it would be good to have more crossbow arrows, in that case, at least not like now, after a round of arrow rain, he had to fight closely.

Although Qian Shan was annoyed that the weak Song people dared to really ambush him halfway, and even dared to charge, he was not a fool, while ordering his generals to lead the troops to stabilize their positions, and personally leading the troops towards Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun's clothing and fierceness told him that this person, if not the chief general of the Song army, was at least a high-ranking general in the Song army that ambushed him. Zhang Jun wants to take him down, and Peng Shan also wants to take off Zhang Jun's head to wash away his shame.

If he wins this battle, it's okay to say, if he loses, then it is estimated that he will not have to do it. Before the war began, he advanced lightly, which broke his morale, how could he easily let him go if he didn't have a warm mouth.

The two main generals of the two armies, Qian Shan and Zhang Jun, were so fierce that they naturally added a lot of courage to the soldiers under their command. The Song army's rush to kill was even more ferocious, and the Western Xia soldiers finally stabilized their positions after a short panic and began to ****.

The battle was scorched for a while.

Slashed and killed several Song soldiers who rushed up one after another, and Qi was good at killing, turning over and jumping off the obstructive war horse to lead a group of personal soldiers into the Song army's array and slashing and slashing, and for a time the Song army killed the retreat of the offensive involuntarily. On this official road, when there are people everywhere, he is riding a war horse that is the most obvious target, and Qian Shan naturally knows it.

Zhang Jun knew that if it weren't for the fact that many of the soldiers in the Zaoyang army were Zaoyang natives, and that there were their parents and brothers among the people who left in front of Zhilu Dao, he was afraid that this counter-charge of the Xixia soldiers would have broken up the Zaoyang army. A wry smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Jun's mouth, if it was Ning Wujun under Meng Shuai who followed him, I am afraid that he would really be able to leave Qian Shan today, now...... Easily slashed to death a Western Xia soldier who rushed up, and let the hot blood pour all over his head and face, Zhang Jun looked back at the battlefield not far away.

Although most of the 1,000 Xixia soldiers have been reduced, they are still ferociously slaughtering. If it weren't for Zhang Xinchong in front, if it wasn't for their relatives more than ten miles ahead, if it wasn't for an unexpected ambush, I'm afraid that a thousand Xixia soldiers would still be able to defeat the three thousand Zaoyang army.

The shouts and killings in the rear became more and more intense, and it was obvious that the Western Xia soldiers who had fallen behind had heard the battle situation in front and were desperately coming. Look at the entangled figures everywhere, and I can't go if I want to.

Zhang Jun's eyes suddenly stopped not far away, leading a group of personal soldiers to rush left and right, like Qian Shan, who suddenly entered the realm of no one, and his eyes gradually became firm. Qian Shan, who was chopping over there, seemed to feel something, and a pair of slightly reddened eyes looked at Zhang Jun's eyes, giving Zhang Jun a cruel smile.

"Ordered Zhang Xin, if you can't kill the more than 1,000 Xixia soldiers in half a cup of tea, come and see you; General Liao Yi was ordered to send 5,000 soldiers to immediately harass and intercept the coming Western Xia soldiers, and be sure to stop the Western Xia soldiers in the rear for half an hour, otherwise he would come to see him. The others will go all out with Ben to capture and kill the fang. Ordered the whole army, the general will rush to the front, and he will not hesitate to sacrifice his life. ”

After a short period of distraction, the soldiers around him quickly obeyed the order.

Zhang Jun is going to fight for his life!

Two huge crowds, one red and one black, collided in the dark night with endless swords and shadows, bursting out with endless blood flowers! The official road in the dense forest soon turned red and muddy.

The Zaoyang army sacrificed their lives to fight, and the Liao Yi army in the rear finally attacked with all their might, which suddenly greatly increased the pressure on the Western Xia soldiers. The Zaoyang army of more than 10,000 people wrapped the large army of less than 5,000 people in Qianshan in a narrow space within a radius of only a few miles, and launched wave after wave of crazy killings under the leadership of Zhang Jun.

In the rear, less than a mile away from the two armies, the sound of killing was already everywhere at some point, and it was gradually moving towards the center of the battlefield. Looking at the battlefield where the corpses were strewn together like a distinguished guest, Zhang Junzhi said that the time given to him was running out. Maybe at tea time, they will face tens of thousands of wolf-like Western Xia soldiers before and after, maybe ...... I don't need tea time.

Qian Shan had already retracted into his own formation. This was the first time he had seen such a fierce Song army, and it was a ragtag army. He saw with his own eyes that those young Song soldiers who had been stabbed in the body by several spears stared at the spear and let the spear penetrate their bodies, and they were about to send the knife in their hands into the spear owner, and there were many such scenes.

Thankfully, the garbage is coming. These Song lambs must let them taste the consequences of angering themselves.

Naturally, Qian Shan would not admit that he was afraid!

Suddenly, endless shouts of killing came from the front of the official road. The shouting and killing sound that rushed to the sky even made the Zaoyang army and the Western Xia army, who were fighting frantically, lose their minds for a moment.

Looking up, countless torches in front of the official road were like stars in the sky, and they were rushing towards the place where the two armies were fighting.

The Western Xia soldiers of Qianshan are all in the rear, so it is obvious that the only ones who are coming from the front at this moment can only be the Song reinforcements. In an instant, the faces of all the Western Xia soldiers, including Qi Shan, changed. The Zaoyang army was instantly demoralized, and the offensive was even more aggressive.

"Breakout!" Qian Shan finally stopped hiding the fear in his heart and gave the order.

Originally, he still wanted to drag most of the Zaoyang army here, as long as the Western Xia soldiers in the rear could break through the intercepted Song army, he was sure that he would leave all the nasty Zaoyang Song army that was already at the end of the strong crossbow, but now it seems that even if the Western Xia soldiers in the rear can break through the interception of the Song army and rush to the battlefield, looking at the momentum of the Song army's reinforcements, I am afraid that it will not necessarily be the opponent of the Song army.

That's not right, if Ren Yi and Zhang Ying's two armies should also come from the rear? Zhang Jun looked at the reinforcements coming in front of the official road, and a trace of doubt flashed in his mind. Could it be that Meng Shuai expected the enemy to take the lead and sent Ning Wujun to respond in advance? As soon as this idea came out, it was adopted as a credible answer by Zhang Jun's natural brain.

Reinforcements have arrived, Zhang Jun naturally will no longer have any scruples, and the Zaoyang army, whose morale has greatly increased, has been frantically culling one after another. The actions of the Zaoyang army made the Song army, who was still a little skeptical, finally Ding Song Army really have reinforcements coming, and it turns out that there is no fear, which can be explained by why this Song army can be so fierce and tenacious. The heart to break through and escape for his life is even more determined.

One side is determined to escape, and the other side is determined to leave people behind because of the arrival of reinforcements, and the battlefield instantly enters a more intense ****.

The sound of fighting in the rear is getting more and more sparse, and the reinforcements coming from the front are still huge, but they have only seen torches and heard shouts of slaughter, and so far they have not seen a human figure. A touch of bad flashed in Zhang Jun's heart.

The reinforcements did not arrive for half a day, and even the Zaoyang army began to have some doubts, and the combat effectiveness of the fleeing Xixia soldiers was even more than before, after dropping more than 3,000 corpses again, it was finally difficult to tear open the encirclement of the Zaoyang army, and fled in panic, Zhang Jun didn't have time to think about it, and urged the army to take advantage of the situation to cover up.

finally had a way to live, and the remnants of the defeated army, which was only less than a thousand people left, did not have the courage to continue to fight at this moment, so he had to desperately protect the remnants of Qianshan and escape, and even after the rear army that finally broke through Liao Yi's blockade converged, he couldn't stop panicking, and then turned around and fled in panic.

This sudden and inexplicable end of the fight, although it did not leave Qianshan, but after all, it ended in the tragic victory of the Zaoyang army.

There was no time to clean up the battlefield, so Zhang Jun hurriedly withdrew to Xiangyang City with the Zaoyang army and the "reinforcements" all over the mountains. Zhang Jun naturally didn't know what to do, in the chaotic army, although Qian Shan did not die, he was injured by a stray arrow.

After the battle, the Zaoyang army commanded Liao Yi and dozens of Zaoyang army generals after he personally commanded the army, and nearly 10,000 people were wounded.

……

When Jia Yidao received Kou Wen Buhua personally supervised the command of hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops to Xiangyang, it had been two days since the Battle of Zaoyang. At this time, the brigade that followed him was less than a hundred miles away from Anqing Mansion.

In three days, with a large number of things used by the army given by Zhao Yun, he walked nearly 500 miles, and Jia Rudao had already raised the speed of the march to the limit. All the governors who greeted them along the way basically passed through the city after greeting each other, and few entered the city, and even the governors who passed by all the way all talked about it.

In order to please Jia Guifei's younger brother, the young favored ministers and ministers beside the emperor, and the upstarts in the court, the governors of the state capital on the road have prepared a lot of offerings and programs, such as beauties, all kinds of rare antiques, gold and silver, and so on.

Although Jia Rudao did not accept their banquet, but for the gifts sent by the officials of the state capital, large and small, in addition to the beauties, the rest of the rare antiques, gold, silver and jewelry did not refuse, and only after walking more than 500 miles, there were five or six more carriages in the team, and these carriages were loaded with gifts from officials of all sizes in the state capitals along the way.

If he had gone to banquets everywhere, he would not even be able to get out of Lin'an City for two hundred miles. However, Jia Rudao is not good at discouraging the enthusiasm of those state officials, let alone wanting to appear to be a maverick, even Yu Tianxi did not refuse the invitation of those officials when he went to Huizhou to preside over disaster relief before, why should he pretend to be high in this colluded officialdom?

Of course, he would never do anything that touched his bottom line. For example, those beauties, he confiscated all of them, didn't he?

Jia Rudao encountered an eight-hundred-mile urgent report sent by Meng Hui from Xiangyang to Lin'an City, of course, he was not qualified to open this urgent report, but fortunately, Meng Hui also brought him a letter, and this letter was more detailed than the emergency report to the imperial court.

Zhao Yun ordered Jia Nidao to send envoys to spread the edict to various places, although Meng Heng's Xiangyang City is the farthest away from Lin'an City, but he has already gotten the news, and Meng Heng also knows very well that Jia Nidao is on the way.

Putting down Meng Hui's letter, Jia Rudao was silent for a while.

In Meng Hui's letter, in addition to talking in detail about the matter of Kou Wen Buhua raising troops to Xiangyang and the preparations of Xiangyang City, although he did not say it explicitly, the meaning of the words in his heart revealed a meaning, that is, Xiangyang City's preparations are not very sufficient, if Kou Wen Buhua is really determined to take Xiangyang City, even Meng Hui himself does not know how long he can hold it.

It's how long to hold on, not how long to hold on. Obviously, even Meng Hui himself is not very optimistic about this battle. Therefore, Meng Hui hoped that Jia Yidao could wait for Zhao Yun's will, and it was best to return to Lin'an City directly, and wait for the end of the war before going to Xiangyang. Moreover, he had already made it clear in his letter to the imperial court that he hoped that the imperial court would withdraw the ambassador of the army.

Meng Hui obviously didn't want Jia Yidao to be in danger.

But now this situation is no longer something that Jia Nidao or Zhao Yun can decide. Jia Rudao knew that he would face a very difficult choice.

For Zhang Jun, the commander of the Zaoyang Army, and the Zaoyang soldiers who hurriedly set up an ambush when they turned back, in fact, this could not be regarded as an ambush, at least it could not be regarded as a well-prepared ambush, at most it could only be regarded as a life-threatening blockade.

There is very little time for Zhang Jun, Zhang Xin, and Liao Yi. A distance of several miles as long as the Western Xia soldiers run wildly, but a stick of incense time, in a stick of incense in the time of a stick of incense to solve the more than 7,000 troops of Qianshan, if Zhang Jun with more than 20,000 troops to attack, it will take at least an hour to complete, now, Zhang Jun does not want to be able to behead Qianshan in a battle, just think about trying to kill and injure the thousands of troops around Qianshan, so that he is unable to continue to chase the Zaoyang army.

In the final analysis, in fact, the most important part of this battle is Zhang Xin's 3,000 Zaoyang army, as long as he can eat the 1,000 Qianshan soldiers in the shortest time, and turn around to help Zhang Jun, under the attack of the Zaoyang army on both sides, if the luck is good enough, there is still a little possibility that the Qianshan will be left.

This kind of luck, especially when the two armies are facing each other, even Zhang Jun himself doesn't believe it. He was just a little annoyed that the Zaoyang army didn't have more archers, and it would be good to have more crossbow arrows, in that case, at least not like now, after a round of arrow rain, he had to fight closely.

Although Qian Shan was annoyed that the weak Song people dared to really ambush him halfway, and even dared to charge, he was not a fool, while ordering his generals to lead the troops to stabilize their positions, and personally leading the troops towards Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun's clothing and fierceness told him that this person, if not the chief general of the Song army, was at least a high-ranking general in the Song army that ambushed him. Zhang Jun wants to take him down, and Peng Shan also wants to take off Zhang Jun's head to wash away his shame.

If he wins this battle, it's okay to say, if he loses, then it is estimated that he will not have to do it. Before the war began, he advanced lightly, which broke his morale, how could he easily let him go if he didn't have a warm mouth.

The two main generals of the two armies, Qian Shan and Zhang Jun, were so fierce that they naturally added a lot of courage to the soldiers under their command. The Song army's rush to kill was even more ferocious, and the Western Xia soldiers finally stabilized their positions after a short panic and began to ****.

The battle was scorched for a while.

Slashed and killed several Song soldiers who rushed up one after another, and Qi was good at killing, turning over and jumping off the obstructive war horse to lead a group of personal soldiers into the Song army's array and slashing and slashing, and for a time the Song army killed the retreat of the offensive involuntarily. On this official road, when there are people everywhere, he is riding a war horse that is the most obvious target, and Qian Shan naturally knows it.

Zhang Jun knew that if it weren't for the fact that many of the soldiers in the Zaoyang army were Zaoyang natives, and that there were their parents and brothers among the people who left in front of Zhilu Dao, he was afraid that this counter-charge of the Xixia soldiers would have broken up the Zaoyang army. A wry smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Jun's mouth, if it was Ning Wujun under Meng Shuai who followed him, I am afraid that he would really be able to leave Qian Shan today, now...... Easily slashed to death a Western Xia soldier who rushed up, and let the hot blood pour all over his head and face, Zhang Jun looked back at the battlefield not far away.

Although most of the 1,000 Xixia soldiers have been reduced, they are still ferociously slaughtering. If it weren't for Zhang Xinchong in front, if it wasn't for their relatives more than ten miles ahead, if it wasn't for an unexpected ambush, I'm afraid that a thousand Xixia soldiers would still be able to defeat the three thousand Zaoyang army.

The shouts and killings in the rear became more and more intense, and it was obvious that the Western Xia soldiers who had fallen behind had heard the battle situation in front and were desperately coming. Look at the entangled figures everywhere, and I can't go if I want to.

Zhang Jun's eyes suddenly stopped not far away, leading a group of personal soldiers to rush left and right, like Qian Shan, who suddenly entered the realm of no one, and his eyes gradually became firm. Qian Shan, who was chopping over there, seemed to feel something, and a pair of slightly reddened eyes looked at Zhang Jun's eyes, giving Zhang Jun a cruel smile.

"Ordered Zhang Xin, if you can't kill the more than 1,000 Xixia soldiers in half a cup of tea, come and see you; General Liao Yi was ordered to send 5,000 soldiers to immediately harass and intercept the coming Western Xia soldiers, and be sure to stop the Western Xia soldiers in the rear for half an hour, otherwise he would come to see him. The others will go all out with Ben to capture and kill the fang. Ordered the whole army, the general will rush to the front, and he will not hesitate to sacrifice his life. ”

After a short period of distraction, the soldiers around him quickly obeyed the order.

Zhang Jun is going to fight for his life!

Two huge crowds, one red and one black, collided in the dark night with endless swords and shadows, bursting out with endless blood flowers! The official road in the dense forest soon turned red and muddy.

The Zaoyang army sacrificed their lives to fight, and the Liao Yi army in the rear finally attacked with all their might, which suddenly greatly increased the pressure on the Western Xia soldiers. The Zaoyang army of more than 10,000 people wrapped the large army of less than 5,000 people in Qianshan in a narrow space within a radius of only a few miles, and launched wave after wave of crazy killings under the leadership of Zhang Jun.

In the rear, less than a mile away from the two armies, the sound of killing was already everywhere at some point, and it was gradually moving towards the center of the battlefield. Looking at the battlefield where the corpses were strewn together like a distinguished guest, Zhang Junzhi said that the time given to him was running out. Maybe at tea time, they will face tens of thousands of wolf-like Western Xia soldiers before and after, maybe ...... I don't need tea time.

Qian Shan had already retracted into his own formation. This was the first time he had seen such a fierce Song army, and it was a ragtag army. He saw with his own eyes that those young Song soldiers who had been stabbed in the body by several spears stared at the spear and let the spear penetrate their bodies, and they were about to send the knife in their hands into the spear owner, and there were many such scenes.

Thankfully, the garbage is coming. These Song lambs must let them taste the consequences of angering themselves.

Naturally, Qian Shan would not admit that he was afraid!

Suddenly, endless shouts of killing came from the front of the official road. The shouting and killing sound that rushed to the sky even made the Zaoyang army and the Western Xia army, who were fighting frantically, lose their minds for a moment.

Looking up, countless torches in front of the official road were like stars in the sky, and they were rushing towards the place where the two armies were fighting.

The Western Xia soldiers of Qianshan are all in the rear, so it is obvious that the only ones who are coming from the front at this moment can only be the Song reinforcements. In an instant, the faces of all the Western Xia soldiers, including Qi Shan, changed. The Zaoyang army was instantly demoralized, and the offensive was even more aggressive.

"Breakout!" Qian Shan finally stopped hiding the fear in his heart and gave the order.

Originally, he still wanted to drag most of the Zaoyang army here, as long as the Western Xia soldiers in the rear could break through the intercepted Song army, he was sure that he would leave all the nasty Zaoyang Song army that was already at the end of the strong crossbow, but now it seems that even if the Western Xia soldiers in the rear can break through the interception of the Song army and rush to the battlefield, looking at the momentum of the Song army's reinforcements, I am afraid that it will not necessarily be the opponent of the Song army.

That's not right, if Ren Yi and Zhang Ying's two armies should also come from the rear? Zhang Jun looked at the reinforcements coming in front of the official road, and a trace of doubt flashed in his mind. Could it be that Meng Shuai expected the enemy to take the lead and sent Ning Wujun to respond in advance? As soon as this idea came out, it was adopted as a credible answer by Zhang Jun's natural brain.

Reinforcements have arrived, Zhang Jun naturally will no longer have any scruples, and the Zaoyang army, whose morale has greatly increased, has been frantically culling one after another. The actions of the Zaoyang army made the Song army, who was still a little skeptical, finally Ding Song Army really have reinforcements coming, and it turns out that there is no fear, which can be explained by why this Song army can be so fierce and tenacious. The heart to break through and escape for his life is even more determined.

One side is determined to escape, and the other side is determined to leave people behind because of the arrival of reinforcements, and the battlefield instantly enters a more intense ****.

The sound of fighting in the rear is getting more and more sparse, and the reinforcements coming from the front are still huge, but they have only seen torches and heard shouts of slaughter, and so far they have not seen a human figure. A touch of bad flashed in Zhang Jun's heart.

The reinforcements did not arrive for half a day, and even the Zaoyang army began to have some doubts, and the combat effectiveness of the fleeing Xixia soldiers was even more than before, after dropping more than 3,000 corpses again, it was finally difficult to tear open the encirclement of the Zaoyang army, and fled in panic, Zhang Jun didn't have time to think about it, and urged the army to take advantage of the situation to cover up.

finally had a way to live, and the remnants of the defeated army, which was only less than a thousand people left, did not have the courage to continue to fight at this moment, so he had to desperately protect the remnants of Qianshan and escape, and even after the rear army that finally broke through Liao Yi's blockade converged, he couldn't stop panicking, and then turned around and fled in panic.

This sudden and inexplicable end of the fight, although it did not leave Qianshan, but after all, it ended in the tragic victory of the Zaoyang army.

There was no time to clean up the battlefield, so Zhang Jun hurriedly withdrew to Xiangyang City with the Zaoyang army and the "reinforcements" all over the mountains. Zhang Jun naturally didn't know what to do, in the chaotic army, although Qian Shan did not die, he was injured by a stray arrow.

After the battle, the Zaoyang army commanded Liao Yi and dozens of Zaoyang army generals after he personally commanded the army, and nearly 10,000 people were wounded.

……

When Jia Yidao received Kou Wen Buhua personally supervised the command of hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops to Xiangyang, it had been two days since the Battle of Zaoyang. At this time, the brigade that followed him was less than a hundred miles away from Anqing Mansion.

In three days, with a large number of things used by the army given by Zhao Yun, he walked nearly 500 miles, and Jia Rudao had already raised the speed of the march to the limit. All the governors who greeted them along the way basically passed through the city after greeting each other, and few entered the city, and even the governors who passed by all the way all talked about it.

In order to please Jia Guifei's younger brother, the young favored ministers and ministers beside the emperor, and the upstarts in the court, the governors of the state capital on the road have prepared a lot of offerings and programs, such as beauties, all kinds of rare antiques, gold and silver, and so on.

Although Jia Rudao did not accept their banquet, but for the gifts sent by the officials of the state capital, large and small, in addition to the beauties, the rest of the rare antiques, gold, silver and jewelry did not refuse, and only after walking more than 500 miles, there were five or six more carriages in the team, and these carriages were loaded with gifts from officials of all sizes in the state capitals along the way.

If he had gone to banquets everywhere, he would not even be able to get out of Lin'an City for two hundred miles. However, Jia Rudao is not good at discouraging the enthusiasm of those state officials, let alone wanting to appear to be a maverick, even Yu Tianxi did not refuse the invitation of those officials when he went to Huizhou to preside over disaster relief before, why should he pretend to be high in this colluded officialdom?

Of course, he would never do anything that touched his bottom line. For example, those beauties, he confiscated all of them, didn't he?

Jia Rudao encountered an eight-hundred-mile urgent report sent by Meng Hui from Xiangyang to Lin'an City, of course, he was not qualified to open this urgent report, but fortunately, Meng Hui also brought him a letter, and this letter was more detailed than the emergency report to the imperial court.

Zhao Yun ordered Jia Nidao to send envoys to spread the edict to various places, although Meng Heng's Xiangyang City is the farthest away from Lin'an City, but he has already gotten the news, and Meng Heng also knows very well that Jia Nidao is on the way.

Putting down Meng Hui's letter, Jia Rudao was silent for a while.

In Meng Hui's letter, in addition to talking in detail about the matter of Kou Wen Buhua raising troops to Xiangyang and the preparations of Xiangyang City, although he did not say it explicitly, the meaning of the words in his heart revealed a meaning, that is, Xiangyang City's preparations are not very sufficient, if Kou Wen Buhua is really determined to take Xiangyang City, even Meng Hui himself does not know how long he can hold it.

It's how long to hold on, not how long to hold on. Obviously, even Meng Hui himself is not very optimistic about this battle. Therefore, Meng Hui hoped that Jia Yidao could wait for Zhao Yun's will, and it was best to return to Lin'an City directly, and wait for the end of the war before going to Xiangyang. Moreover, he had already made it clear in his letter to the imperial court that he hoped that the imperial court would withdraw the ambassador of the army.

Meng Hui obviously didn't want Jia Yidao to be in danger.

But now this situation is no longer something that Jia Nidao or Zhao Yun can decide. Jia Rudao knew that he would face a very difficult choice.
