Daye County, Taibai Restaurant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The guards who escorted Xia Gui to Taibai Restaurant were even more surprised.
Xia Gui is the commander of the reinforcements, the dignified guard Ma Jun Division is in command of the envoys, the official of the fourth grade of the court, the county order of Daye County is just the official rank of the eighth grade, after seeing Xia Gui, he is respectful and respectful, and he wants to bow to the chief, but Xia Gui is unwilling to disturb the county government, and he enters the county seat in micro-clothes, and he is not allowed to reveal his identity to the guards.
Besides, the county lieutenant of Tongshan County, who invited Xia Gui to the banquet, was just a petty official from Jiupin, and he was able to let the handsome go to the banquet.
Curiosity is curiosity, the guards still understand their tasks, two guards stay on the first floor, two guards follow upstairs, waiting outside the private room, and the rest of the guards are scattered outside the restaurant, observing the surrounding movements at any time.
Xia Gui, who entered the private room, saw a back that he was familiar with and hated.
"Lord Xia, don't come unharmed."
The back turned around, and it was Lu Wende, who had a lot of contradictions with Xia Gui.
Lu Wende has returned to the Great Yuan Dynasty, and he has returned to the Great Yuan Dynasty as an envoy of the two Huai systems, which can be said to be the highest-ranking official of the Great Song Dynasty to the Great Yuan Dynasty, although the power game between Lu Wende and Jia Yidao is well known, but no one thought that Lu Wende would sacrifice the two Huai to submit to the Great Yuan Dynasty.
"Don't dare, I'm very good, but Lord Lu has climbed the high branches."
Lu Wende's face instantly turned a little red, a trace of anger flashed, and a smile immediately reappeared.
"It seems that Lord Xia is still thinking about our original affairs, and this is nothing, I will make amends to Lord Xia today, I don't know if the past can be written off."
Xia Gui also had a smile on his face, he was completely clear about what he was doing today.
When he set off from the capital, Xia Gui did not plan to really rush to Ezhou, this is obviously an impossible task, with the 20,000 soldiers under his command, he wanted to break through the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of people in the Mongolian army, which is similar to sending him to death, this black pot designed by Jia Rudao, he Xia Gui is determined.
On the way to the march, Xia Gui had already thought about it, on the one hand, he tried to march slowly as much as possible, not in a hurry to rush to help Ezhou, and on the other hand, he was to collect as much money as possible to prepare for the next punishment he might encounter, as long as the silver in his hand was enough, there was nothing he could not deal with.
As for the matter of rushing to aid Ezhou City, Xia Gui planned to make a show, and then returned to the capital, anyway, when he rushed to help Xiangyang Mansion City before, he also did this, and it didn't matter if he came once, as for the matter of carrying the black cauldron, since it was unavoidable, he simply didn't think about it so much, he must have carried the black cauldron for Jia Rudao, and he would not suffer a very serious punishment.
Xia Gui also thought about it, and in desperation, he simply returned to the Great Yuan Dynasty, so that maybe any problem would be solved.
However, this thought also flashed in a flash, and the current Xia Gui has not yet come to that point.
The county lieutenant of Tongshan County actually came on behalf of Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan to persuade Xia Gui to return to the Great Yuan Dynasty.
Xia Gui struggled, but unfortunately there was too little time for this struggle.
has gathered a lot of wealth, this expedition, the money looted along the way, enough for Xia Gui to maintain a luxurious life in the future, but if you want to keep these wealth, it is not a simple matter, at least to return to the capital, it takes a lot of expenses, but if you are obedient to the Yuan Dynasty, these money are your own.
Xia Gui is also worried about his family, after all, his family is in the capital, but in this regard, the county governor of Tongshan County has made a certain guarantee, as long as Xia Gui decides to return to the Great Yuan Dynasty, Ah Shu will definitely find a way.
After returning to the Great Yuan Dynasty, Xia Gui was still able to lead troops to fight, still held power, and would be favored and valued by the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
Such conditions made Xia Gui's heart moved, so he listened to the county lieutenant of Tongshan County so much yesterday.
Today's banquet, Xia Gui basically made up his mind, but when he just met Lu Wende, he aroused the anger in his heart.
However, Xia Gui will not do too much, he needs to leave a way back for himself.
"What Master Lu said is that the previous things have been written off."
Both laughed at the same time, as if nothing had happened before.
In the private room are Lu Wende and Xia Gui, and it is very clear what they met today for, so before eating and drinking, Lu Wende quickly got to the point.
Once Xia Gui is ready to return to the Great Yuan Dynasty, Ashu will specially send soldiers to secretly enter the city of Lin'an Mansion to help transfer Xia Gui's family, and the news of Xia Gui's return will definitely not leak out in a short period of time, and the Great Song Dynasty will not know.
After Xia Gui returned to the Great Yuan Dynasty, Ah Shu would specially recommend the emperor and let Xia Gui be an official of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
The conditions that Lu Wende said were similar to those said by the county magistrate of Tongshan County.
But these words were uttered by Lu Wende, and the meaning must be different.
In the process of Lu Wende's speech, Xia Gui almost did not speak, there is a simple truth, Xia Gui understands, if you want to seek a good position in the Great Yuan court, you need to make a lot of contributions, otherwise it is impossible to get attention, just take the 20,000 soldiers under his command to return to the Great Yuan Dynasty, this is nothing, you must know that when the Mongolian army swept through Lianghuai and other places, there were also many Song troops who returned to Shun.
Lu Wende's situation is different, but he has dedicated the Jiankang Mansion City and Luzhou Mansion City of Lianghuai, such a credit is naturally valued by the Dayuan Imperial Court and the Dayuan Emperor, and Lu Wenhuan also opened the gate of Xiangyang Mansion City, and the credit is also not small.
In other words, Xia Gui must do some more things in order to be able to get the attention of the Great Yuan Court.
Therefore, Xia Gui will not speak for the time being.
Since Lu Wende came on behalf of the Mongolian army commander Ashu, Xia Gui had to learn to bargain and seek benefits for himself.
Lu Wende finally finished speaking, and Xia Gui didn't speak during this period.
"Lord Xia, do you have any concerns, you can't believe me...
"Where, how can I compare with Lord Lu."
Lu Wende was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face, which was meaningful.
"Lord Xia originally led the army to come to the aid of Ezhou Prefecture, if he can help the army take Ezhou Prefecture...
Xia Gui's body trembled slightly, Lu Wende was really smart, and he clicked to the key place at once, if he could help the commander of the Mongolian army to take the city of Ezhou, this credit would not be small.
Doing this well is not particularly difficult for Xia Gui, as long as he can win the support of some people in the army, he can do it, and he can do it without knowing it.
Xia Gui looked at Lu Wende and nodded slightly.

Three days later, Lu Wende rushed back to the army.
In the military tent, Ah Shu slapped the table hard and stood up excitedly.
"Very good, this is very good, Lord Lu, you have a lot of credit, this matter is done well, this handsome will ask for credit to the emperor for you."
"Don't dare, it's all the credit of the handsome."
"Lord Lu, you don't have to be polite, the emperor is discerning, you don't have to worry."
Speaking of this, Ah Shu quickly spoke to the guards beside him.
"Hurry up and invite the deputy marshal to come to the Chinese military tent, there is an important military situation to discuss."
After the guards went out, Ah Shu looked at Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan and spoke.
"Daye's garrison immediately shrank, leaving a small number of troops, allowing Xia Gui to break through and enter the city of Ezhou. . . ."
When he said this, Ah Shu looked at the letter on the table, this is a letter written by Xia Gui himself, although when Lu Wende reported it, Ah Shu was slightly worried, what if Xia Gui cheated, but after thinking about it, he still chose to believe Lu Wende and Xia Gui, at such a critical moment, as the boss, Ah Shu must have a decision.
Outside Daye City, military camp.
More than ten guards waited outside the Chinese military tent, Xia Gui was also very busy in the past two days, personally selected three officers above the commander of the army, and came to the Chinese military tent to discuss the matter, and no one was allowed to disturb during the deliberations.
No one knew what Xia Gui had discussed with these officers, but Xia Gui gave an order to the guards, and if there was a sound of broken teacups in the Chinese military tent, he would immediately enter the barracks and act according to Xia Gui's orders.
Anyone who enters the Chinese military tent is allowed to enter only after removing all the weapons on their bodies.
A news also spread in the barracks, that is, the army will soon start to rush to the aid of Ezhou Prefecture, after all, this time, the combat mission undertaken by 20,000 sergeants is to rush to the aid of Ezhou Prefecture.
The sergeants in the barracks were not in a very good mood, these sergeants had robbed a lot of money along the way, and they had no idea of fighting, let alone rushing to the aid of Ezhou Prefecture.
For five days in a row, the atmosphere in the barracks was very delicate.
Some of the officers began to talk in secret, but only a very small number of officers, as soon as the others approached, they stopped talking, and later, a very small number of officers were called by the commander, and they did not know what they were talking about, most of them had solemn expressions on their faces, and they were silent, and they would not say anything.
On the 12th of May, the order of the marshal Xia Gui was finally delivered, and all the sergeants were ready, and the next day, they pulled out the village, attacked and advanced in the direction of Ezhou Prefecture, and went to the aid of Ezhou Prefecture.
At the same time, many of the Mongolian troops stationed on the periphery of Daye quietly withdrew at night and headed in the direction of the army's station, leaving only a good part.
What is about to happen, no one knows, everything is the same as usual.
However, Zhizhou Gundam, who was stationed in Ezhou, was a little happy, and the imperial court finally sent a large army to aid Ezhou, no matter what, this was a great encouragement to Ezhou, so that the soldiers stationed in the city could continue to persevere.
