"Where is Li Tingzhi?" Ye Yingwu looked at a large area of Mongolian Han soldiers who were kneeling down in front of him and trembling, and couldn't help frowning and looking at Guo Chang who was standing beside him.

Because the battle situation in Huainan became more and more complicated, Guo Chang also had to cross the river overnight, but fortunately, this kid was also fast, and finally came here before Ye Yingwu rushed to the battlefield outside Yangzhou, and immediately took over the various news that had been messed up from the six doors of Yangzhou.

Not only the two Huai, in fact, now the entire Mongolian and Song front has been messed up with a pot of porridge, since Wen Tianxiang crossed the Han River to break through Suizhou, all the Song armies have seen the weakness of Mongolia after the loss of Xiangyang, even if Boyan and Zhang Hongfan took the Huai army in a timely manner, and successively fought two big victories in Jingangtai and Jiaozhou, but it is still difficult to cover the weakness of Mongolia in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

As long as you can break through the first line, you will really be able to let the Song army gallop across the country.

This also made Sichuan, Shu, Lianghuai, and the Song army from all walks of life begin to rush to the Northern Expedition, even if it is a good choice to follow the Tianwu Army to fight the autumn wind. Because there are too many people who have moved when they hear the wind, even the Xiang troops guarding the city in Kuizhou, Dazhou and other places have already been dispatched, and Huaixi Xia Gui is also ready to move, so to be honest, Guo Chang himself can't figure out how many Song troops are going north, let alone where each road has gone.

"Returning to the envoy, there is no news from Huaibei, I only know that the Huaiyang army has passed the Huaiyang army yesterday." Guo Chang said ashamedly, after all, he had just taken over the news from Yangzhou, so he didn't even know where the Huai army was, but what made Guo Chang feel strange was that there were very few news sent from Huaibei for such a long time, as if this Huai army had evaporated from the world.

After Ye Yingwu pondered for a moment, he said slowly: "This is not Li Tingzhi's usual style, and even if he doesn't want us to know the whereabouts of the Huai Army, he will care about the stability of his own nest here in Yangzhou, so it is impossible for the north to have no news for a day." ”

Guo Chang was stunned, he hadn't conceived of a bad place just now, but now that Ye Yingwu said this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. But the Huai army is also a full 20,000 people, if you want to strangle such a force, there is no rumor at all, how many Mongolian Tartars do you need?

"There is no news from Jinyiwei in the north?" Ye Yingwu immediately asked.

Guo Chang smiled bitterly: "No, because the area of Lianghuai is not a place we control, and it is already good for the six gates to be able to gain a foothold, and it is too difficult to arrange Jinyiwei manpower in Lianghuai, which is a perennial bloody war and sparsely populated, so Jinyiwei is a hole in the area from Jeju to Lianhai." ”

Ye Yingwu pressed the hilt of the sword suddenly: "It's not good, most of the Huai army is in trouble!" ”

"But where did the Mongolian Tartars come from to deal with Li Tingzhi?" Guo Chang couldn't help but look at Ye Yingwu in surprise, although this possibility is not impossible, but the probability should be very small, maybe it's just because Li Tingzhi is moving forward too fast, and he doesn't have time to take care of the back road.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Yingwu said coldly: "Yes, the cavalry of the Mongolian Tatars, there are still some, and in addition to the Shandong unified army, there are still more than 10,000 people who can gather more than 10,000 people, if they come out, if they want to deal with Li Tingzhi, it will be easy to ambush them, after all, Li Tingzhi wants to recover Yingtianfu too much." ”

"Lure the enemy deep and break it in a battle?" Zhang Shijie, who didn't know when he came over, couldn't help but whisper, "If it is so, it stands to reason that he will not give up the Huaiyang Army, unless he has enough confidence in his hands, he can lure Li Tingzhi to the city of Xuzhou, but if he goes further north, I am afraid that no one can guarantee that something will happen." ”

Ye Yingwu nodded: "It's just a pity that we are one step late, if we can follow Li Tingzhi across the Huaishui last night, I'm afraid we can save one or two." To go again now is to send yourself to the mouth of the Mongolian Tatars. ”

"But my subordinates still don't understand, where did the Mongolian Tartars come from・・・・・・" Guo Chang said suspiciously.

Zhang Shijie shook his head lightly, with a bitter voice in his words: "Yes, if the Mongolian Tatars are not like a fire and have burned to the eyebrows, I am afraid they will not easily use this strong army." ”

"Cowardly Xue Jun!" Guo Chang took a breath of cool air, if it was the cowardly Xue army, then there was really a possibility of defeating Ashu in a battle, "But even if Kublai Khan had the courage to send the cowardly Xue army, who would command it, didn't Ali Hague, the commander of the cowardly Xue army, take 2,000 people south along Caizhou and confront the Tianwu army, will Kublai Khan hand over his guards to Ta Chu or Zhang Hongfan?" ”

Looking at the stretching field in front of him, Ye Yingwu said coldly: "No, Ta Chu is just a dog that Ah Shu put in Shandong to guard the gate, and although Zhang Hongfan is a fierce general, he is still a tiger cub who has not grown up, although he can destroy the Jiaozhou Sailor in a battle can prove that Zhang Hongfan is capable, but if he wants to defeat a general like Li Tingzhi who once supported Lianghuai with his own strength, it is not so easy, the two are tied at most, and even Zhang Hongfan has the cowardice Xue Jun can't keep Li Tingzhi." ”

"Although the bold style of luring the enemy deep into the country is similar to Zhang Hongfan, Zhang Hongfan does not have the courage to bet with Li Tingzhi on the gains and losses of the Huaiyang Army." Zhang Shijie said in a deep voice, "He may not care about the gains and losses of a camp or a few warships, but he will not care about the gains and losses of a state capital." Therefore, there must be someone else who commands the cowardly Xue army. ”

"Shi Tianze, I didn't expect you to be unable to hold it back after all." Ye Yingwu said exactly, "It seems that this time it is really a bit troublesome, and Li Anfu is afraid that it will be difficult to protect himself." ”

The three words "Shi Tianze" came out, and Zhang Shijie and Guo Chang shivered at the same time.

If the titular marshal of the Mongolian Southern Expedition is really alarmed, then this battle is really getting more and more interesting, and I am afraid that only Shi Tianze, who has recognized the thief as his father, can gain such trust from Kublai Khan.

"Why did Shi Tianze go straight to Lianghuai with the cowardly Xue army instead of going to Heluo?" Guo Chang couldn't help but say, "Wen Xianggong has already taken people to Nanyang, and further forward is Heluo, as soon as Heluo is lost, we will occupy Henan, and the Mongolian Tatars of Lianghuai will become a lone army, and it is impossible for people like Shi Tianze to not see through it." ”

Ye Yingwu pondered for a long time before he looked at Zhang Shijie, Zhang Shijie took two steps forward and looked at the north, or the northeast to be precise: "Shi Tianze, what is this to cover." ”

"In the entire Huaibei and Jiaozhou, Shi Tianze can go out in person," Ye Yingwu said coldly, "There is only Zhang Hongfan, and Jiaozhou is backed by the sea, Zhang Hongfan can't always put on his wings and fly over, there must be other plans." Xusheng, Jinyiwei has no manpower in Laizhou and Dengzhou, Jiaobei. ”

Guo Chang smiled bitterly: "It can basically be regarded as nothing." ”

Zhang Shijie and Ye Yingwu glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"In other words, if the Mongolian Tatars build ships in Dengzhou, we don't know at all, even the original Jiaozhou sailors will not go around to Jiaobei?" Ye Yingwu barely calmed down, the Mongolian Tatars didn't really plan to do this, but what did they do this for.

Guo Chang then shook his head: "As long as it is hidden, it is suitable and cannot be seen, but it is difficult to find the traces of the Mongolian Tartar sailors, and if you want to build a new one, it is not possible to complete it in a day and a half months, which is a bit ・・・・・・."

"You don't need to build a warship, it's enough for the ship to be able to carry people." Zhang Shijie interrupted Guo Chang, "Since the Jiaozhou Sailor was destroyed, we have no Sailor at sea, and naturally no one will intercept it." It's just that if Zhang Hongfan really wants to do this, for what. ”

Seeing that Ye Yingwu and Zhang Shijie didn't know where to go, Guo Chang only felt a cold sweat on his back, and Ye Yingwu beckoned: "Yutu!" ”

Seeing Ye Yingwu and the three of them standing here for a long time, Yang Xu asked in a low voice while personally sending the map over, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Yangzi hurriedly opened the map with two personal guards, Zhang Shijie stretched out his hand and went down the line of Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Yizhou, and looked at Ye Yingwu suspiciously: "In fact, for Zhang Hongfan, if we outflank our Huainan back road, it is not cost-effective, after all, this area is still relatively close to the sea, and it is difficult for him to transport too many people at once, which is not enough to completely mess up the two Huai." ”

Ye Yingwu frowned and looked at it for a while, then stretched out his hand and pointed at the map: "No wonder Zhang Hongfan has not shown up, he is really deliberate, I am afraid that he has been busy building warships and training soldiers this month, and the place he wants to go is here." ”

Guo Chang, Zhang Shijie and Yang Xu were silent almost at the same time.

Because where Ye Yingwu pointed out, it was Lin'an, the line of the Great Song Dynasty, Lin'an.

Under the sun, Ye Yingwu showed his snow-white teeth: "Zhang Hongfan, it's really calculating, but do you really think that Lin'an is the lifeline of a certain person." ”

"Envoy, will Zhang Hongfan approach Lin'an?" Guo Chang said in surprise.

"Why not." Ye Yingwu said lightly, and he understood something more and more in his heart, "A certain now finds that he seems to have underestimated Jia, this Jia Xianggong and the Mongolian Tartars are hooked together, but it is not just a simple exchange of knowledge and cooperation. ”

Zhang Shijie couldn't help but take a breath lightly, and looked at Ye Yingwu with some difficulty: "Yuanlie, what do you mean・・・・・・ Jia seems to be ・・・・・・ him?"

"If someone opens the gate of Lin'an, even if Zhang Hongfan leads a team of 1,000 people, it will be enough." Ye Yingwu said coldly, "There are only two methods in front of us now, one is to immediately go to sea with the water division of Zhenjiang Mansion and look for Zhang Hongfan's fleet like a needle in a haystack, and the other is to lead some elites south to Lin'an and wait for the rabbit." ”

Ye Yingwu used "looking for a needle in a haystack" and "waiting for the rabbit" in a row, which shows that Ye Yuanjun was also worried about stopping Zhang Hongfan.

"Husband, ・・・・・・" Yang Xu looked at Ye Yingwu worriedly.

At this moment, a sentry came quickly: "Huaibei Emergency-"

Zhang Shijie, Guo Chang and the others all looked at the sentry rider in surprise, and Ye Yingwu calmed down, the moment he saw the anxious expression of the sentry rider, he knew that something was bound to happen, and it seemed that step by step, he was moving forward according to his vision.

But ahead, there is an abyss.

The sentry turned over and dismounted, stumbled on the soles of his feet, and almost fell, but he still ran over quickly: "Qiyu envoy, Li Anfu defeated Xuzhou, and the Huai army in the north was annihilated, and the Mongolian Tartars took the cowardly Xue army as the vanguard and advanced to Huaibei!" ”

Without waiting for Ye Yingwu and Zhang Shijie to react, several sentry riders galloped forward like arrows.

"Qi Yu envoy, Lianzhou is in an emergency!"

"Enlighten the envoy, Wuhekou is in an emergency!"

――――――――――――――――――-

West Lake in the smoke and rain.

After Weng Yinglong left, Chen Yizhong still held a wine glass and looked at the smoke and rain outside, and the rippling West Lake water almost submerged the broken bridge. The green hills in the distance are faint, and you can only see the traces outlined by ink behind the clouds.

"Chen Xianggong is really interested." A young man in a cloth robe who looked ordinary walked in slowly, sighed with emotion, and sat opposite Chen Yizhong without any outsiders, skillfully picking up the wine jug and pouring himself a glass of wine.

Chen Yizhong was stunned and looked at the man who suddenly appeared in surprise: "Who are you?" Have you and I ever met? This is a place where a certain bag comes down, if there is no expensive brother to do, please leave. ”

The man smiled lightly: "Chen Xianggong is really difficult to deal with, but I don't know if Chen Xianggong knows that there is a cute little animal called ・・・・・・ mole?" ”

His pupils shrank suddenly, and the wine glass in Chen Yizhong's hand fell on the table with a "bang", and the crystal wine spilled all over his clothes, but he didn't realize it, he just looked at the young man in front of him in horror: "Who are you・・・・・ you are, how do you ・・・・・・ know." ”

"Of course I know," the corners of the man's mouth curled, as if he was smiling, "Dizhen Gaogang, a group of streams and mountains through the ages, dare to ask Chen Xianggong and don't know?" ”

On the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Yizhong clenched his sleeves tightly, and tried to say: "This is a couplet, if a certain pair: the door faces the sea, and the water of the Three Rivers Gorge flows for ten thousand years, I don't know what Brother Tai thinks, please comment." ”

The man suddenly raised his glass at Chen Yizhong: "You know my heart, the wine is strong, you should drink this glass of wine." ”

Chen Yizhong seemed to have collapsed, poured a glass of wine and drank it, and there was some blood on his pale face: "It's really terrifying!" This is Xichun Building, brother, you ・・・・・・."

"The boxes on both sides are empty, and the people on both sides are ours." The man said lightly, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he bit the word "we" very hard, "I have to say that Chen Xianggong is really a good actor, then Jia seems to have suspected Weng Yinglong, but he has never suspected Chen Xianggong." The last time the envoy crossed the city gate, although Chen Xianggong almost showed his feet, but fortunately, the only person who could find you to settle accounts was killed by an arrow by mistake, so it can be regarded as a thrill, so today, so many people from the Imperial City Division are staring at Weng Yinglong, but no one has come to deal with Chen Xianggong, and the time to soar seems to be just around the corner. ”

Chen Yizhong smiled bitterly: "This shouldn't be said like this, it's just because I've been keeping to myself, maybe this kind of person in Jia Xianggong's heart is enough." ”

"Isn't the most restless person who guards himself Chen Xianggong?" The man smiled and nodded lightly at Chen Yizhong, "Otherwise, it wouldn't be Chen Xianggong sitting here." ”

Chen Yizhong couldn't deny it, but diverted the topic: "I don't know what Brother Tai is called." ”

The man stretched out his hand and dipped it in the teacup, wrote the word "Jiang", and looked at Chen Yizhong. Chen Yizhong was stunned for a moment, looked at him again, and immediately recognized it: "You are not・・・・・・ you are not the ・・・・・・ just now, who is who?" ”

"Chen Xianggong doesn't need to be confused, he only needs to know who he is, and it's enough." The man said with a smile, "Jiang Moutian is the nephew of the Nankang Jiang family, and he is specifically responsible for contacting Chen Xianggong, and he let him come because of the identity and meaning of the Nankang Jiang family, Chen Xianggong should know it, so he won't explain much." ”

Chen Yizhong nodded, he faintly understood when he saw the word "Jiang" just now, the Nankang Jiang family is Jiang Wanli's family, with the Jiang family's "Sankunyu" as the core, the Jiang family's children have always been versatile and spread all over the world, which is also the foundation for Jiang Wanli to dominate the Southern Song Dynasty Shilin.

And the Jiang family, Jia Rudao, and the Imperial City Division can be said to be incompatible, and the open and secret battles between the two sides for so many years can no longer be explained clearly in a few words. Therefore, it is not uncommon to have people from the Jiang family among the six doors, and it is not even strange that there are none.

The man saw that Chen Yizhong had given up his vigilance, and knocked on the table in a low voice at the moment: "I shouldn't have bothered Chen Xianggong, but the mole can't stay underground all the time after all, this time there is a reluctant invitation to come, and the old commander of the six doors Yang has always wanted to find out what small movements are behind Jia Yidao and the Mongolian Tartar, I don't know ・・・・・・ Chen Xianggong."

"This one can do his best." Chen Yizhong immediately agreed without hesitation, "If you want to say anything else, you have to think about it, Brother Jiang, don't forget why you are sitting opposite you." ”

The man suddenly laughed silently twice, and arched his hand at Chen Yizhong: "Chen Xianggong is really a person of temperament, and he is also a person of our kind, thank you here." (To be continued.) )
