Chaotian Hall of Lin'an Mansion.

"Smack!"

A thick stack of military newspapers smashed down from the dragon chair in the hall and landed in the center of the hall like snowflakes, scaring the civil and military officials in the left and right columns of the hall into trembling.

"What do I want you to do? What is the use of raising you? Natahai and Bald Snow broke dozens of cities in Sichuan in just half a month, and Zhao Rongrui's husband should be killed! Kill! Naduo raised troops to attack, but on the seventh day the troops approached Jiankang City, hundreds of thousands of troops in Sichuan and Huaidong were vulnerable to a blow, the Manchu Dynasty was helpless, and the post of pacification envoy in Guangdong was discussed and discussed. What is it for? Rubbish! ”

Zhao Yun's eyes were red, like an angry lion, pointing at the hundreds of ministers in the hall above the Chaotian Hall and roaring.

The ministers in the hall listened to Zhao Yun's roar, and they were all as quiet as a cicada. There are those who are timid, but they are already trembling.

No wonder Zhao Yun was so angry. In the past nearly a month, after the short joy of Jia Nidao going to Xiangyang City to reward the army, the Great Song Dynasty can be said that everything is not going well. The political situation in the DPRK and China is chaotic, the border areas are full of gunsmoke, and reports of defeat are frequent.

Although Yu Tianxi, the prime minister of Zuo, did not resign from the position of prime minister of Zuo, he fell ill on the third day after returning to Lin'an City, and even his condition turned critical for a while, and he is still recuperating in the mansion, and he does not know when Lu Dao will be able to return to the court to deal with government affairs.

Although Yu Tianxi resigned because of physical problems, Zhao Yun did not agree. After all, no matter what it was for, it was too child's play for Prime Minister Zuo to immediately change his appearance before he showed up. Therefore, the affairs of the DPRK and the Central Committee can only be discussed and handled by Shi Songzhi, Li Zongmian, Li Mingfu and others. Although Zheng Xingzhi said that he also held the position of governor of political affairs, he did not enter the court.

Yu Tianxi was sick in bed, and Cui He, another highly respected person in the court, the former right prime minister, and the pacification envoy of Guangzhou, died of illness in office, which made the Southern Song Dynasty court, which was already lacking in talents, even worse.

Cui He sat on the front line of Guangdong, although he repeatedly did not accept the edict, but his loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty is not questionable, and Cui He in the position of Guangdong pacification envoy, has made a lot of achievements, Guangdong is not comparable to Lin'an prosperity, but it is much stronger than other places, at least the taxes provided to the court are increasing every year.

Now that Cui He, who is full of peach and plums, died of a sudden illness, Guangdong is an important place in the waist and abdomen of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is particularly important to send someone to take over the post of pacification envoy in Guangdong, stabilize the rear of the Great Song Dynasty, and send blood to the Great Song Dynasty.

If the war ahead is unfavorable, once the Yangtze River changes, the place where the Great Song Dynasty can retreat is only in the corner of Guangdong, such an important position, coupled with the good development of Cui and his tenure, but it is a rare fat shortage, so there are many people in the DPRK staring at this position.

Shi Songzhi, Li Mingfu, Yuan Fu and other cadres are all staring at this position, refusing to give in to each other, I oppose the candidate you propose, and you oppose the candidate I propose. In addition, Li Zongmian, who was in the middle and the mud, more than ten days have passed, and Cui He's coffin is about to arrive in Lin'an City, but the candidate for the Guangdong pacification envoy has still not been decided, how can Zhao Yun not be angry?

If everything is not going well in the DPRK and China, it can still be done slowly, and Guangdong will not be able to make chaos for a while and a half without appeasement. However, since seven days ago, all kinds of military information from the Sichuan and Huaidong theaters began to be delivered to Lin'an one by one.

First of all, before the attack on Dali Tahai, Bald Snow, the soldiers were divided into two ways to unify the army called 800,000 and then went south to invade the territory of Sichuan, just three days, dozens of cities in eastern Sichuan all fell, yesterday's military information sent to Zhao Yun's desk is to show that Tahai and Bald Snow have now merged, the army is in Wanzhou (Chongqing) City, and at the same time, it is also cutting down and building ships on a large scale, and there is a great tendency to cross the river to the south.

And this was the military situation four days ago. After all, the military intelligence report sent from Sichuan to Lin'an, even if there is an expedited 800 miles, it will take at least two or three days to send it to Lin'an City.

The Sichuan system made Zhao Rongrui defeated and fought repeatedly, and now he has retreated to the south bank of the Yangtze River, gathering more than 300,000 troops to wait for the battle, but obviously Zhao Rongrui is not sure whether he can prevent Tahai and Bal Xue from crossing the river, and the urgency and help are sent to Lin'an like snowflakes.

If the defeat in Sichuan frightened Zhao Yun, then the resumption of the Huaidong war, which had always been stable, made Zhao Yun panic.

Two days after Zhao Rongrui's emergency letter arrived, Huaidong made Zhao Kui's emergency and request for help document arrived. The Mongolian general Nado commanded more than 300,000 troops from Haizhou to the south, but in three days, he captured Sizhou, the bridgehead of the Huaidong Theater, and then waved his army south, sweeping both sides of the Huai River, but the army crossed the Huai River in seven days to reach the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the troops pointed directly at the Great Song Dynasty to accompany the capital Jiankang Mansion.

The battle of Xiangyang has been scorching for more than a month, although there have been no urgent reports and requests for help from Xiangyang City, but just by looking at the military intelligence reports sent to Lin'an every day, I know that the situation in Xiangyang City is also not optimistic, even if it is better than the other two war zones, I am afraid that it is not much better. After all, it didn't take a long time to mobilize more than 500,000 troops to besiege Xiangyang City.

And how many people are in the Jinghu Army under Meng Hui? There are only more than 300,000 people in the full battle, but these more than 300,000 people still have to be stationed in Jingmen, Ezhou, Huangzhou and other fronts, and it is said that there are only more than 200,000 troops stationed in Xiangyang City.

More than 200,000 troops, against the siege of 600,000 Wen Buhua troops, including nearly 100,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, which is stronger or weaker, do not ask. Meng Heng's ability to persist until now is enough to prove that he is a famous general, at least Xiangyang City is still in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty.

But even if Xiangyang City is still in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, so what? Without the help of reinforcements from the Sichuan and Huaidong theaters, Meng Heng wanted to defeat several times the Mongolian army with more than 200,000 Song troops, which was completely a fool's dream, and no one thought that it was possible.

The most important thing is that Zhao Yun knows very well that Jia Rudao has entered Xiangyang City today. Xiangyang City seems to be about to be lost, and now the key is to see how many people can come out.

The reinforcements that originally went to Xiangyang City have now turned around and gone to the two major theaters of Sichuan and Huaidong to help. Compared with Xiangyang City on the north bank of the Yangtze River, it is obviously much more important to prevent 800,000 Mongolian troops from crossing the Yangtze River from Sichuan to enter the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty and to keep the capital Jiankang Mansion.

This is a dilemma, but Zhao Yun and the Manchu Dynasty, who have not many good cards to play, can only choose the two most important places in front of them to defend.

Therefore, two days ago, Zhao Yun had already issued an edict to the Xiangyang Naval Division and the Jingmen Naval Division to go up the river and rush to the aid of the Sichuan Theater to prevent 800,000 Mongolian troops from crossing the river; The Huangzhou and Ezhou sailors rushed to the aid of Jiankang Mansion to prevent 300,000 Mongolian troops from crossing the Yangtze River and capturing Jiankang Mansion.

In other words, Xiangyang City has been abandoned by the Great Song Dynasty.

For Meng Hui, Jia Yidao, and the Jinghu army who didn't know how many people were left in Lu Dao, and more than a million people in Xiangyang City, even if Zhao Yun was unwilling, he could only pray that they would seek more blessings and not die in the chaos.
