Chapter 437: Selfishness

Gundam, who guards the city of Ezhou, has done his best. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

More than half a year has passed, despite the full support of the people in Ezhou City, and despite the extraordinary courage of the sergeants under his command, Gundam still feels frustrated when he can't get help, and it is impossible for him to support the Great Song Dynasty with his own strength.

Several times Gundam could choose to evacuate towards Jiangnan West Road, so that he could at least save his own life, but he did not do so, once he evacuated Ezhou, then Jiangnan West Road and the capital Lin'an Mansion City will be in no danger to defend, and the Mongolian army can directly smash Huanglong and threaten the capital Lin'an Mansion.

Gundam once sent sergeants, many times sent letters asking for help, the first four months of the Mongol army to attack Ezhou, Ezhou city was not completely surrounded, the passage to Jiangnan West Road can still be opened, there are not many Mongolian sergeants stationed here, the letter for help and the sergeant who rushed out, the stone sank into the sea, there was no response.

Gao not only wrote a letter to the imperial court asking for help, but also wrote a letter asking for help to Wu Shaogang, the king of Wei.

As for whether the letter sent to Kaifeng Fucheng was delivered, Gao Gao didn't know, but he believed that the imperial court must have received a letter asking for help, after all, Ezhou was not very far from Lin'an Fucheng, and from Jiangnan Road to Lin'an Fucheng, it was a place controlled by the Great Song Dynasty, and no one would stop the sergeant who sent the letter.

Gouda firmly believed that the imperial court would definitely send a large army to aid Ezhou, after all, he had resisted several attacks by the Mongol army, which had already boosted the morale of the imperial court, and if the imperial court abandoned Ezhou, it would be tantamount to self-destruction.

It was under the support of this belief that Gundam led the soldiers and civilians in the city to continue to resist the attack of the Mongol army, and did not give up the slightest intention of breaking through the city of Ezhou.

The grain stored in the city can still last for a period of time, and when he was appointed as the governor of Ezhou, Gao Gao expected the arrival of this day, so he desperately stored grain to maintain the expenses of the military and civilians in Ezhou City.

However, with the passage of time, Gouda's worries are getting worse day by day, and the grain stored in Ezhou City can last for about a year at most, after all, there are many sergeants who enter Ezhou City, when the Mongol army attacked Jingxi Road and Jinghu Road, many sergeants chose to evacuate to Ezhou City, and Gundam accepted all of them, which led to a significant increase in the cost of food.

In other words, the imperial court's assistance must not be missing, otherwise it will not be able to maintain it at all after the food is cut off.

Why half a year has passed, and there has been no arrival of reinforcements, Gouda has also analyzed, and he believes that the imperial court may have placed most of its troops on Jiangnan Road to protect the capital.

When the Spring Festival of the ninth year of Xianchun came, Gao Dar wrote a letter asking for help again, ordering the sergeants, no matter what they could do, to send the letter to the capital, and at this time, the Mongol army had completely surrounded the city of Ezhou, and it was not so simple to send the letter out.

Gundam sent the 10th Route Sergeant to break out of the encirclement of the Mongol army and go to the capital to deliver the message.

The commander of the Mongolian army, Ah Shu, looked at Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan opposite, with a look of impatience on his face.

More than half a year has passed, and Ashu vowed to completely capture the city of Ezhou within the year, but the Spring Festival has passed, and the city of Ezhou is still in the hands of the Song army.

This belief has taken root in Ah Shu's heart, and it is impossible to change, unless it is the emperor's decree to give up the capture of Ezhou City, Ah Shu can lead the army to attack Jiangnan Road.

Fortunately, the emperor's holy decree made Ah Shu not have to be too anxious, and even used Xiangyang Mansion City to compare Ezhou City.

This made Ah Shu's determination even stronger, and also made Lu Wende, Lu Wenhuan and others no longer suggest going around Ezhou City.

Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan have written several times to send sergeants to the city of Ezhou, but unfortunately the governor of Ezhou, who is stationed in the city, ignores it at all, and has no intention of opening the city gate to surrender from beginning to end.

Ashu actually admires Gundam more, and the Mongols worship heroes, even if they are their own opponents.

During the Spring Festival, Ah Shu ordered the army to temporarily stop attacking the capital city of Ezhou, and also let the sergeants take advantage of the Spring Festival to take a good rest.

This made Ah Shu excited.

After reading the documents, Ah Shu invited Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan.

Both Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan read the letter.

It has been two years since they returned to the Dayuan court, and at the beginning, both of them were uneasy, afraid of being abused by the world, but after more than half a year, the two gradually adapted, and it didn't matter, but although they assisted by Ah Shu's side, they didn't offer any good plans, which made the two very ashamed.

Lu Wende looked at Lu Wenhuan and spoke while groaning.

"Dashuai, I think that the Great Song Dynasty will probably send a large army to help."

"Oh, Lord Lu, didn't you say that the Duke of Wei of the Great Song Dynasty, Jia Qidao, was very taboo about Gundam and would not send a large army to help."

Ah Shu's expression was a little unsightly, a Gundam was so difficult to deal with, if a large army was sent to help, wouldn't it mean that the next expedition would be even more difficult.

"Marshal, Jia Rudao doesn't dare not send a large army to help."

Lu Wende hasn't explained yet, Ah Shu nodded slightly, this is true, even if Jia Nidao is autocratic, he has a lot of hatred for Gundam, but Gundam has already shown bravery, if Jia Rudao has not made any moves, I am afraid that the adults in the court will not agree, and everyone will be angry.

"Well, then who do you think the Great Song Imperial Court will send to help Gundam?"

Lu Wende looked at Lu Wenhuan and did not continue to speak.

Lu Wenhuan understood the meaning and spoke.

"Dashuai, my subordinates think that the Great Song Dynasty is very likely to send the guards Ma Jun Sidu to command Si Xia Gui to come to the rescue...

A smile appeared on Ah Shu's face.

Xia Gui this person, he is familiar with, but also his defeated generals, when besieging Xiangyang Mansion City, Xia Gui led the army to aid Xiangyang Mansion City many times, but was defeated by Ashu's leading army, so that Ah Shu was willing to resign from all official positions, and was unwilling to continue to lead troops to help Xiangyang Fucheng.

However, Ah Shu didn't particularly believe in Lu Wenhuan's prediction.

"Xia Gui has rushed to the aid of Xiangyang Mansion City many times, but he has not been able to succeed, will the Great Song Dynasty Court still send him to aid Ezhou Prefecture?"

A gloating look appeared on Lu Wende's face.

"The marshal doesn't know, Jia Nidao is dictatorial in the DPRK, excluding and suppressing too many people, including a lot of powerful generals, all the civil and military ministers who are unwilling to please and submit to Jia Nidao have been calculated, and there is no exception in the next, and now, there is no one in the DPRK who can lead troops to fight."

Ah Shu coughed lightly.

If it weren't for Jia Yidao, Lu Wende would not surrender for the time being, and Ah Shu would not have been able to lead the troops to easily take Jiankang Mansion City and Luzhou Mansion City, and obtained a large amount of supplies and money.

Of course, Ah Shu will not say this, Prince Hedan will not say it, and the emperor will not say that there are people like Jia Nidao who are prime ministers in the Great Song Dynasty, which is a great thing for the Great Yuan Court, and Ah Shu will not belittle Jia Nidao, on the contrary, he also said on some occasions that Jia Nidao is very powerful, leading the Great Song Dynasty to desperately resist the attack of the Mongolian army, and he has made great contributions.

The words that Lu Wende just said, Ah Shu needs to remind him not to say them to the outside world.

"Lord Lu, there are some things that I won't mention in the future, no matter what, everything is based on the Great Yuan Court."

Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan nodded at the same time, understanding the meaning.

Seeing the two nodding, Ah Shu spoke again.

"In any case, the Great Song Dynasty will always pose a threat to my army when it sends reinforcements, what advice do you have for the two of you."

Hardly the slightest hesitation, Lu Wende followed closely.

"Dashuai, I am willing to see Xia Gui and persuade him to return to Dashuai."

Ah Shu's eyebrows jumped instantly, if Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan could persuade Xia Gui to surrender as well, they wouldn't have to worry about the reinforcements of the Great Song Dynasty, and Ezhou City would be able to take it in a short time, and if Xia Gui returned to the Great Yuan Dynasty, Ah Shu also thought that Gao Da would also be able to change his stubborn views and also submit to the Great Yuan Dynasty.

really has to do it to that point, Ah Shu has made a great contribution to the Great Yuan Court.

When he thought of this, Ah Shu was already a little excited, but he suppressed his mood and tried his best not to show it in front of Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan.

More patrolling sergeants were dispatched, and more scouts were dispatched.

This time, Ah Shu did not write to the emperor and the court for the time being, he wanted to do all this, and then report to the court, in fact, Ah Shu was as anxious in his heart, he had already received a letter from his father Wuliang Hetai, the sea capital of Mobei rebelled again, the momentum was very large, and it had alarmed the emperor and the court, the emperor sent Prince Habichi to lead the troops to help, Wu Shaogang, the king of Wei of the Great Song Dynasty, had already sent a large army to attack the Monan grassland, and the emperor and the court originally planned to concentrate superior forces to defeat the Song army under Wu Shaogang in the Monan grassland, But because of the Mobei Rebellion, the emperor had to temporarily give up the conquest in the Monan grassland.

All this will make the emperor and the court worry, and Ah Shu can destroy the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible, so that the emperor and the court can free up their hands, concentrate superior forces, and destroy Haidu and Wu Shaogang one by one.
