The past five days of the competition are considered to be the previous time, Wu Shaogang and his entourage have arrived in Jiankang Mansion City for eight days, but Li Tingzhi has not talked about the implementation of the task for a long time, during this period, Lu Xiufu often visits the door, chatting with Wu Shaogang, the scope of the two chatting is very wide, talking about their own growth experience, but also talking about their understanding of life, several times Lu Xiufu tried to evaluate the affairs of the court, but Wu Shaogang skillfully changed the topic.

Lu Xiufu's arrogance disappeared without a trace, and he showed due respect to Wu Shaogang.

Wu Shaogang is also happy to be friends with Lu Xiufu, but he always pays attention to controlling his emotions, speaks carefully, and easily does not make any comments, he knows very well that Lu Xiufu has Li Tingzhi's shadow behind him, although he has not been in Jiankang Mansion for a long time, Li Tingzhi has always been paying attention to him and wants to understand him thoroughly.

Bringing his thirty people to Jiankang Mansion, what task is it to perform, this is what Wu Shaogang is most concerned about, before leaving the capital, he once asked the fourth master, but the fourth master does not know.

When Li Tingzhi entered the room alone, Wu Shaogang was carefully reading the books that Lu Xiufu gave him.

After more than half a year, Wu Shaogang has read a lot of books, although these books are very ugly, basically ancient texts, but this is a must, in-depth understanding of an era, absorbing knowledge from books, is the most convenient way.

"Vice Admiral Wu, can you adapt to life here?"

"It's very adaptable, thank you for your care."

Li Tingzhi's face showed a smile again, and his impression of Wu Shaogang was getting better and better.

Wu Shaogang's body does not have the pedantry of a scholar, he speaks and does things neatly, although he is very young, he reveals a mature atmosphere, and knows how to be self-disciplined, and will never easily discuss and evaluate the government and others.

Li Tingzhi once also suspected that Wu Shaogang, who was only seventeen years old, did not really read, had not seen anything in the world, and lived in the village since he was a child, how could he have such knowledge and bearing, but Wu Shaogang said that he met a mysterious old man, which made Li Tingzhi more relieved, there are indeed many hermits in these years, these hermits have extraordinary abilities, they are not willing to stay in the red dust, and they don't want to be annihilated by what they have learned.

It can only be said that Wu Shaogang has unusual luck.

Behind Wu Shaogang is Lu Wende, which Li Tingzhi knows very well, Lu Wende now has a good relationship with the right minister Jia Nidao, which makes Li Tingzhi more cautious, but with his understanding of Lu Wende, talents like Wu Shaogang are not what Lu Wende can really encompass.

So when it is appropriate, Li Tingzhi will still make a move, such a handsome talent cannot be absorbed into his command, and he must try to handle the relationship as much as possible.

Li Tingzhi came to see Wu Shaogang in person today, after careful consideration, he wanted to see how Wu Shaogang's prediction ability and decision-making ability were, if Wu Shaogang's judgment is unique, then he must find a way to do everything possible to entrap Wu Shaogang.

When he spoke again, Li Tingzhi's expression had become quite serious.

"Vice General Wu, last year the Mongol Tatars launched a large-scale attack on our territory, the emperor's wise decision, the soldiers fought bloodily, gave the Mongol Tatars a heavy blow, forced the Mongol Tatars to withdraw, but I think the strength of the Mongol Tatars did not suffer much loss, but because of the death of the Mongol Khan Meng Ge, so that they have no leader, must stabilize the interior, recently I got the news, Kublai Khan succeeded the Mongol Khan, encountered some trouble, his younger brother Abuligo is quite dissatisfied, there are already signs of rebellion, On the one hand, Kublai Khan wanted to completely suppress Abuligo's rebellion and stabilize the situation, but on the other hand, he was also afraid that our Great Song Dynasty would take the opportunity to launch an attack, so that its first place could not be taken care of and cause greater losses, so he would send envoys to negotiate... ”

Wu Shaogang listened very carefully, there was not much expression on his face, and there were some waves in his heart.

I didn't expect Li Tingzhi's analysis to be so accurate and have a very rational understanding, which is very rare.

In last year's battle, the Mongol army did not suffer any losses, but there were problems within Mongolia, forcing Kublai Khan to lead the army to withdraw, and Kublai Khan, who inherited the position of the Mongol Great Khan, did the first thing to do was to stabilize the internal and completely suppress the rebellion of Abuligo.

Thinking from another perspective, Wu Shaogang faced such a situation, and he would also send people to the Southern Song Dynasty to stabilize the Southern Song court.

However, Wu Shaogang also knew that the Southern Song Dynasty court had no intention or ambition to attack Jiangbei and recover the lost territory, and it was impossible to stabilize the current situation.

As for Kublai Khan's dispatch of envoys to discuss, Wu Shaogang had a faint impression that he had heard last year that Jia Rudao, the right prime minister and privy envoy, had sent people to contact Kublai Khan, and the two sides had discussed, but as for what the content of the discussion was, the outside world did not know at all.

Because of the victory in the battle of Ezhou and the forced withdrawal of the Mongol Tatars, Jia Nidao won the praise of the emperor and the admiration of the court, and his power became increasingly powerful, which also became the basis for Jia Nidao to squeeze out the left prime minister Wu Qian and monopolize the power of the court.

Wu Shaogang was not particularly familiar with the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, but based on his judgment of history, he would not believe that the Mongol army had withdrawn because of the defeat.

It seems that Li Tingzhi also has such a judgment.

"Vice General Wu, if the Mongol Tartars send an envoy to discuss, do you think it should be dealt with like this?"

Li Tingzhi's question was finally thrown.

Wu Shaogang was also ready to answer, and this question was expected by him.

Li Tingzhi was able to ask him such a question, on the one hand, it was a temptation, and on the other hand, it was an unusual trust.

"Lord Li, my subordinates think that the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan sent an envoy to come, and the imperial court will receive it, and take this opportunity for the imperial court to make a request and seek a place in the northern part of the river. . . ."

Li Tingzhi had no expression on his face, and seemed to be a little disappointed by Wu Shaogang's answer.

"Adjutant General Wu, as I have already said, the strength of the Mongol army has not suffered losses, and launching an attack at this moment may not be able to win, on the contrary, it may endanger Ezhou, Luzhou, Jiankang and other places."

"The subordinates and the adults have different views, what should come is always coming, the fighter plane is fleeting, at this time Mongolia is caught in internal strife, seize this opportunity to attack, regain part of the lost territory, is the best choice, even if we don't plan to attack, when Kublai Khan stabilizes the internal situation, he will also launch a large-scale attack on my Jiangnan."

"What you say makes sense, but the proposal to attack Jiangbei was not approved by the imperial court, after all, there was an agreement between the imperial court and the Mongolian Great Khan Kublai Khan."

A smile flashed on Wu Shaogang's face, and he vaguely understood.

"The agreement is only temporary, in the eyes of the subordinates, the agreement protects only the weak, but the expediency of the strong, just imagine, last year's Mongol Tatar attack, if it were not for the death of the Mongol Khan Möngke, not for the internal disputes in Mongolia, the position of the Mongol Khan is uncertain, Kublai Khan will easily evacuate, with the army under his command, it is a matter of time before the capture of Ezhou, now Kublai Khan has stabilized the interior, inherited the position of the Mongol Khan, I am afraid that it will not be long before another attack will be launched, at that time, Nothing works. ”

As soon as Wu Shao said this, Li Tingzhi's face finally changed a little.

After hesitating for a while, Li Tingzhi spoke again.

"Vice General Wu, what you said is very reasonable, the next attack of the Mongol Tatars, sooner or later, will come, I will report this matter to the imperial court, but today I will talk about the affairs of the Mongolian mission, you said to the Mongolian mission to recover part of the lost territory in Jiangbei, I am afraid that it is inappropriate, so it is very likely to anger Kublai Khan, causing him to launch a large-scale attack again desperately, the court is not ready, and then it will be a misery...

Li Tingzhi's hesitation and hesitation on his face, Wu Shaogang saw it all.

Wu Shaogang decided to let go and made a bold judgment.

"What the lord means, the subordinates understand, the subordinates came this time, I am afraid that it is against the Mongolian mission, the subordinates boldly speculated, last year's imperial court and Mongolia to discuss the opinions, not so good, there may be the meaning of yielding to the Mongolian Tartars, now Kublai Khan sent a mission, is to ask the court to fulfill the previous promise, but the government and the opposition know that the battle last year was victorious, Kublai Khan was forced to evacuate, once the Mongolian mission put forward a request for compensation or even land cession and peace, the world was in an uproar. . . ."

Li Tingzhi's face turned white, but Wu Shaogang still continued.

"Your lord's love for your subordinates, your subordinates know it, the court sent your subordinates to come, the purpose is to deal with the Mongolian mission, and to do it without knowing it, if your subordinates can successfully complete the task, that's the best, if your subordinates mess up, then all the responsibility lies with your subordinates, Kublai Khan sent a mission to my Southern Song Dynasty, the mission suddenly disappeared, and he will definitely ask the mission is whereabouts, and then his subordinates will be sinners, and they will be disposed of by Kublai Khan."

"As a soldier, his subordinates accept the task, no matter how powerful Kublai Khan and the Mongol Tartars are, the subordinates don't care, the subordinates will never be afraid of Kublai Khan and the Mongol Tatars, they are not invincible, the subordinates do not dare to guarantee the complete defeat of the Mongol Tatars, but as long as the subordinates are given time, the subordinates will definitely be able to make Kublai Khan and the Mongol Tatars fearful, so that they dare not covet the territory of my Southern Song Dynasty...

When Wu Shao just said this, Li Tingzhi couldn't help but stand up.

"Vice Admiral Wu, your analysis is beyond my expectations, yes, you came this time, the task you undertook is to detain the Mongolian mission, but you don't have to worry, with me, I will never let you suffer unjustly, this matter of seizing the Mongolian mission is a decision made by me, you are just following my orders...
