On the tenth day of the siege of Yangzhou, the defenders of Yangzhou did not wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and they felt infinitely disappointed in their hearts for Shi Xianggong, who was at the height of the temple, but I was afraid that at this moment, there was still a trace of peace in the heart of the Xianggong.

It's just that Li Xin was defeated, and he was waiting, so the imperial court didn't send a messenger to sue for peace.

Li Quan didn't know where to get a hot air balloon and rose in the sky, and the dispatch of the guards in Yangzhou City was clearly understood by him, so several raids by the Yangzhou defenders made Li Quan react quickly, and he failed to completely defeat Li Quan, and the two sides are now in a kind of equilibrium.

Li Quan is still driving the refugees to besiege Yangzhou, but he can only hold a few important transportation arteries, and some small roads are in a state of semi-abandonment.

Although Li Quan's troops were large, nearly half of the elite had been killed or wounded, and there were six city gates in Yangzhou, and Li Quan's troops and the newly armed people could only barely block four or five city gates.

Due to the dispatch of the armies of both sides, the other party is clear through the hot air balloon, so no matter the Yangzhou defenders attack the city gate, Li Quan can always gather troops to block, if the troops are divided, it will be in Li Quan's arms, he will definitely deliberately release an army, only let it out of the city, not let it enter the city, has achieved the purpose of emptying the city.

As for the army that was released, Li Quan was not worried, there were not many soldiers in Yangzhou City who could fight, and the army that was divided was not capable of defeating Li Quan, but it was possible to be besieged and annihilated by Li Quan.

The war has reached this point, it is quite funny, Yangzhou City can go out casually, caravans, civilians can go out unmistakably after investigation, but they are not allowed to come in.

This kind of siege has never been seen in the past, and what is even more funny is that there is an army that can swagger in and out of Yangzhou City, that is Zhao Zheng's Tiandao Army, Li Quan every time he sees the heavy cavalry, he can't wait to personally lead the elite to tear that army apart, but he does not dare to act rashly, to completely eliminate the heavy cavalry of more than 100 people, Li Quan does not know how much price he will pay, maybe the elite in his hands will lose half, if so, the siege of Yangzhou will become a fool's dream, this is the pain he can't bear.

Fortunately, there were not many people in that army, and it seemed that there was no possibility of taking the initiative to attack, so Li Quan pretended not to see it and let it come and go freely.

Han Ah Si swaggered out of the city with a hundred and ten people that day, if Li Quan knew that nearly half of them were recruits, he estimated that he would draw his own brains.

Li Quan also knew that if he dragged on like this, he would definitely lose, and he was now hopeless about capturing Yangzhou and winning this victory, and he was waiting for news from Lin'an. Under pressure, Li Quan sent an envoy to Lin'an not long ago, demanding that as long as he was given enough food and grass for 2,000 people, he would withdraw from the army with a face.

When the battle reached this point, if Li Quan hadn't held the people hostage and besieged the city, he would have been a complete defeat.

It's the middle of April, and Zhao Zheng sees that the days are passing day by day, and if he doesn't completely defeat Li Quan, this spring ploughing will be completely yellow.

Zhao Zheng counted the days, Lin'an's new batch of artillery grenades, and armor should be made, these are produced by the glass workshop, which is Zhao Zheng's private property, with this batch of firearms, it can arm nearly 300 people, plus the Tiandao Army, now although Li Quan has tens of thousands of troops, but the real elite, the troops that can fight in the field are less than 3,000, Yangzhou has nearly 500 people armed to the teeth and the original elite of more than 1,000 people on the shoulders, it is not difficult to completely defeat Li Quan.

Therefore, Zhao Zheng asked the secret guard to inform Yan Tianwu to go to the vicinity of Lin'an to get this batch of gunpowder, and when the firearms were retransported to Yangzhou, it was time to end this war.

――

Zhongdu, this ancient city has ushered in many conquerors, it guards the main road, and further north is the vast and infinite grassland, and today its owner is from the grassland.

Temujin's fourth son, only in his thirties, but he has the most powerful power in the world, and 80% of Temujin's troops are inherited by him, which shows how much Temujin values his military ability, but what is unexpected is that Temujin's testament is to establish a nest for Khan, which is a will made by Temujin next to his son's bedside, and let them swear to the immortal heaven that they will not divide Mongolia.

Torre was stupid and did not want to believe this fact, but was compelled by the majesty of Temujin to agree to support Ogedei as Khan in front of him.

And last summer, Torre secretly went to Turpan to meet with Okotai to make a final struggle to discuss the throne of the Khan, the location of which only the two of them knew. Unexpectedly, when they were arguing violently over the throne, an army suddenly appeared in Turpan, without any banner, and wanted to kill him here.

However, the Assassins underestimated the fighting power of the Mongol soldiers, and when they thought that the other side was in a desperate situation, more than 300 Mongol soldiers actually killed more than 1,000 people who had been in ambush in Turpan for half a year.

Afterwards, both he and Ögedei carefully checked the bodies and confirmed that they were not Mongols. But so what? Torre knew that with Chagatai's support, Ogedei's ascension to the throne was a certainty, so all he needed was an excuse, an excuse to fight in the chambers.

Now he is in the capital, although he will not obey the orders of Ogedei in essence, but because of the oath not to divide Mongolia, he has to obey the orders of Ogedai on the surface, which is quite uncomfortable for Torre, who thinks he is a heroic god, and at this time, the Southern Song Dynasty came to excavate the holy statue of Temujin, and the city was full of storms, and the government and the opposition knew it.

Torre knew his chance to break free from that oath had come, so he sent an envoy to fight for the icon.

It doesn't matter if the icon is real or not, it doesn't matter if the icon is in your own hands or not, the important thing is to let the Mongols know that they are the man who can give everything for Taizu and inherit his legacy, and he is the most qualified person to ascend to the throne.

How is a person who can't even snatch the statue of Taizu and can't even win the icon of his own father to sit on the throne of Khan? As for the cession of land, it was a pure lie, and he admitted that it belonged to the Song State in Shandong, and as for when it was handed over, that was another matter.

Everything was going perfectly according to his expectations, but he didn't expect that Li Quan's two-faced guy would actually turn against Song Guo at this time. In this way, the Song State could seize Li Quan's territory in Shandong in the name of quelling the rebellion, but the Mongols had no excuse to interfere.

If he intervened by force, the Song State could destroy the holy statue in the name of breach of contract, and in this way, he would be accused by the Mongol tribes.

So at this time, he had to make a decision that made him feel extremely uncomfortable, agreeing to surrender Jin Guo.

Mongolia's hatred of the Jin State was no lighter than that of the Song State against the Jin State, and the Jin State implemented a cruel and inhumane policy of reducing the number of people in Mongolia back then, and many old people in the clan still remember it vividly.

This was a bitter shame for every proud Mongol soldier, so the war between the Jin and Mongols was beyond the scope of national war from the beginning, but a war between races.

Either you die or I die, the Jin people and the Mongols can only save one.

"Fourth brother, the national teacher of the Southern Song Dynasty asked me to bring you a word!" Uluchi's words brought Torre out of his hatred.

"What?"

"Don't drink the shaman's holy water."

Historically, two years later, Torre died suddenly, and later historians have debated the cause of his death, one of which is that the history books clearly record that three months before his violent death, he drank holy water from a Mongolian shaman.

Hearing this, Torre smiled contemptuously and said: "It's ridiculous to sow discord, but this person invented a hot air balloon with a whimsical idea, and it is indeed a sharp weapon for attacking the city and defending the wall, and he has some ability." ”

Uluchi had been to Lin'an, knowing Zhao Zheng's reputation among the people, and did not dare to have the slightest contempt: "Fourth brother, I am afraid that this person is a real master, I have seen my father's holy icon, it is definitely not done by man, but a heavenly thing." And I brought back a book from the Song Kingdom, which recorded his words at the opening of the altar in Lin'an last year, which is quite extraordinary. ”

"Oh?" Torre knew that his brother was not easy to praise, so he put away his frivolity: "Can you translate it?" ”

Uluchi nodded.

"Show it to me!"
