Jia Rudao walked around in the wing, feeling more and more irritable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiangyang Mansion City is already in great danger, this reality is known to many adults in the court, and the final eyes are also focused on him, the left prime minister, the privy envoy.

In fact, Jia Nidao did not have the slightest slack, he had successively sent Xia Gui and Fan Wenhu to lead the army to aid Xiangyang Fucheng, but the encirclement of the Mongolian Tatars was too tightly defended, and several successive aids ended in failure, which also made Jia Nidao helpless, he did not have much planning in the military, and could only get advice and suggestions from the staff and the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, but unfortunately, the courage of the Mongolian Tatars made many adults in the Privy Council and the Ministry of War retreat, and they couldn't give good suggestions at all.

Jia Rudao also thought of Sichuan, but he didn't dare to make up his mind, if the emperor decreed, or the Privy Council issued an edict to Sichuan, and Wu Shaogang didn't do it, then what should he do, you must know that the army stationed in Sichuan is already the pillar of the Song Dynasty, and the army of Sichuan can be relied on at the critical moment.

The Mongol Tartars strengthened their attack on Xiangyang Fucheng, besieging the entire Xiangyang Fucheng like an iron bucket, and even the news in the Fucheng could not be transmitted, it seems that Kublai Khan and the Mongol court also made up their minds to capture Xiangyang Fucheng.

Some of the staff suggested that the large army stationed in Sichuan should launch an attack on the Central Plains, so as to disperse the forces of the Mongol Tatars and force the Mongols to withdraw part of their forces to deal with the danger in the Central Plains.

Jia Rudao also thinks it makes sense, but he is thinking about whether he should give an order to Sichuan immediately.

In the imperial court, Jia Rudao is already firmly in control of power, and no one dares to infringe on his authority, otherwise there will be no good ending, and he will be dismissed at least and thrown into prison.

The emperor basically didn't ask anything, not long ago when Jia Nidao reported to the emperor that Xiangyang Mansion was in danger, the emperor was panicked and at a loss, and repeatedly asked Jia Nidao to stabilize the court situation, and could not let the Mongolian Tartars capture Xiangyang Fucheng, which made Jia Nidao very helpless, knowing that he could not get any support from the emperor.

There is also a suggestion of the lord of the court, transfer part of the troops of the three divisions in front of the palace stationed in the capital, and gallop to the aid of Xiangyang Fucheng, after all, the army of the three divisions in front of the palace belongs to the strongest combat effectiveness among the imperial army, but this suggestion was rejected by Jia Yidao without hesitation, anyway, Xiangyang Fucheng is not as important as the status of the capital, and the army of the three divisions in front of the palace is a suggestion that must not be adopted, otherwise the Mongolian Tatars threaten the Beijing division, so what should I do.

At this time, Jia Rudao actually regretted a little, he should not have listened to the instigation of Lu Wende and others, and removed Li Tingzhi from the position of secretary of the ministry, in fact, from the aspect of conquest, Li Tingzhi can be civil and martial, and he will definitely be able to lead the troops to aid Xiangyang Fucheng, and Li Tingzhi stayed in the capital, which is also a restriction for Wu Shaogang, the envoy of Yunchuan Jiedu, and now Li Tingzhi has gone to Chengdu and will never return to the capital, Wu Shaogang has no restraint, even if he does not obey the orders of the imperial court, Jia Rudao is also beyond the reach of the whip.

In the face of the current situation, Jia Rudao is helpless, and he can't think of a good way, and the news from Lianghuai and Jinghu North Road that the Mongolian Tatars have already planned to divide their troops to attack Jinghu South Road, so the south will be completely in chaos.

Sighing slightly, Jia Rudao looked at the door, and it was said that Ma Huaxuan should have arrived in front of the palace.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Jia Rudao sorted out his emotions and regained his serious countenance.

Ma Huaxuan entered the wing room and saluted Jia Rudao, followed by the fourth master of the staff.

Ma Huaxuan can be regarded as Jia Yidao's sworn friend, and he has been awarded the title of Auxiliary General of the Second Grade.

Being able to stabilize the position of the commander of the envoy in front of the palace for so many years, Ma Huaxuan is very good.

"Brother Ma, you're welcome, please sit down, Fourth Master, make tea for General Ma."

Ma Huaxuan knew that the fourth master had won the trust of Jia Yidao, so he hurriedly bowed and spoke to the fourth master.

"There is the fourth master."

After the Longjing tea was brewed, Jia Rudao looked at Ma Huaxuan and spoke unhurriedly.

"Brother Ma, Xiangyang Mansion has been besieged by the Mongolian Tartars for three years, fortunately, Lu Wenhuan is brave, resisted several attacks by the Mongolian Tartars, and kept Xiangyang Mansion City, but in the long run, it will definitely not work, if Xiangyang Mansion City is captured by the Mongolian Tartars, Lianghuai and Jinghu South Road and other places are in danger, Xia Gui and Fan Wenhu have led troops to aid Xiangyang Mansion City several times, but they have not succeeded, Xia Gui even thought about resigning from his official position, I will never agree, the national disaster is at the head, and individuals can avoid it, you talk about it, How should the imperial court deal with such a situation? ”

Jia Nidao said very politely, but Ma Huaxuan felt nervous, he knew that the more polite Jia Nidao was, the more he needed to know how to deal with it, if he didn't say anything, it would definitely make Jia Nidao unhappy.

"Wei Guogong, the suggestion of the lower officials is to use the army stationed in Sichuan, the imperial army of Hezhou, the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion and the imperial army of Jinzhou, there is no need to stay in Sichuan, you can send one of the large armies to aid Xiangyang Fucheng, the army stationed in Sichuan to aid Xiangyang Fucheng, you can attack from Junzhou, Fangzhou or Guizhou, the imperial court at the same time send a large army to attack from De'an Fu, the left and right armies attack, the Mongolian Tartars must be difficult to deal with, so it will be able to break through the Mongolian Tartars' siege of Xiangyang Fucheng...

Listening to Ma Huaxuan's suggestion, Jia Yidao's face didn't have much expression.

On the one hand, the imperial court has to allocate enough money and food, and on the other hand, how many troops should be sent by Sichuan to help, 12,000 people have no effect at all, but if too many troops are dispatched, not to mention whether Wu Shaogang agrees, there will be a huge danger in Sichuan.

Seeing that Jia Yidao did not speak, Ma Huaxuan immediately put forward another suggestion.

"Wei Guogong, Xia Guan has another suggestion, that is, the army stationed in Sichuan can attack Henan Road, as long as they can threaten the Central Plains, or even attack Kaifeng Fucheng, it will make the Mongolian court uneasy, and the Mongolian court will definitely send a large army to deal with it, so the Mongolian Tartars besieging Xiangyang Fucheng will definitely be affected. . . ."

Jia Nidao sighed softly, the two strategies that Ma Huaxuan said were all bad words, and the suggestions in the past two days were all put forward by the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, and even the staff under Jia Nidao were also proposed.

"Brother Ma, is there no other way?"

Ma Huaxuan's face turned red, he actually didn't seriously consider the matter of Xiangyang Mansion City, because this matter had nothing to do with him, his duty was to guard and guard the capital.

"This, Xia Guan can't think of any other way for the time being."

Jia Rudao waved his hand and picked up the teacup.

That's what it means to send off a guest.

Ma Huaxuan got up and said goodbye knowingly.

Walking out of the wing, Ma Huaxuan wiped the sweat drops from his forehead and whispered to the fourth master who sent him out.

"Fourth master, please say a few kind words in front of Wei Guogong, and I am grateful."

"General Ma rest assured, Wei Guogong has been thinking about the affairs of Xiangyang Mansion City during this time, and it is inevitable that he will be a little anxious, and it is not specifically aimed at General Ma, as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely talk about it in front of Wei Guogong."

"Then thank you, the next day I invited the fourth master to the banquet, and a few new restaurants were opened in the capital, I heard that it was very good."

The fourth master had a smile on his face, but he was disdainful in his heart, when did he get it, he still wanted to eat, and besides, his fourth master was the person in charge of the guild in the capital, what kind of restaurant had he not been to.

When he entered the wing room again, Jia Rudao looked at the fourth master and spoke word by word.

"Fourth master, I think, it's better to have a good talk with the Mongolian Tatars, see what they mean, if they can relax, then it's best, no matter what kind of conditions they propose, as long as the court can agree, they will agree, first of all, to relieve the crisis in Xiangyang Fucheng."

After the fourth master saluted Jia Rudao, he spoke.

"Wei Guogong, his subordinates feel that it must be not easy to negotiate, the Mongolian Tatars have surrounded Xiangyang Mansion for three years, and a lot of money has been spent, and they must be a lion to negotiate with them at this moment."

"I understand that no matter what conditions they propose, as long as we can agree, we will agree for the time being, as long as the Mongolian Tatars are evacuated and the city of Xiangyang is safe, we will talk about the next step."

"Wei Guogong's subordinates understood, and his subordinates implored him to go to Xiangyang to negotiate with the Mongolian Tatars."

"No, you can't go, I'll send someone else to go, this is not as simple as talking about it, if you don't get it, you have to lose your head, the Mongolian Tatars have besieged Xiangyang Mansion for so long, and they have already taken the advantage, and it is not easy to ask them to evacuate at this time."

The fourth master's heart moved, he originally thought that Jia Nidao wanted to let him go to Xiangyang to negotiate, rather than let Jia Nidao say it himself, it was better to ask for it automatically, so that his face would look better, but he didn't expect Jia Nidao to tell the truth in front of him, and he wouldn't let him negotiate at all.

The fourth master knows very well that this negotiation is difficult to have a result, the Mongolian Tatars can put forward the demands, the fourth master wants to get, Xiangyang Fucheng and Sichuan, these two requirements, the imperial court is impossible to agree, and it cannot be agreed.

It seems that Jia Yidao really has no way to deal with it.

The fourth master suddenly thought of Wu Shaogang, could it be that at this time, Wu Shaogang would stand by and watch, watching the Mongolian Tartars take Xiangyang Mansion City, if that is really the case, the Mongolian Tartars who are not allowed to take Xiangyang Mansion City will turn around and start a large-scale attack on Sichuan, so that the Sichuan army stationed in Sichuan will also be difficult to deal with.

After returning to the mansion, after thinking carefully, the fourth master took up the pen and wrote a letter to Wu Shaogang.

After passing on information many times, the fourth master should be familiar with it, but this time he was very cautious and repeatedly asked that this letter must be handed over to Wu Shaogang in person. (To be continued.) )
