In this world, there are good people and bad people.

But come to think of it, there shouldn't be a few pure bad people who do it specifically for the sake of doing bad things.

Benefit.

Popularity.

Eat one's heart out.

Greedy.

And so on, not by category.

Bad people do bad things, or they can get enough benefits, or they can get a certain degree of satisfaction in their hearts.

Distorted satisfaction.

A deformed heart.

Who knows?

Night.

Brightly lit.

Standing on the city wall of Xiangyang, looking far away, you can already see the yurts built by the Mongolians five miles away.

The Mongols arrived in the evening.

It was a little faster than Yue Yun expected.

However, instead of attacking the city immediately, the Mongols stopped outside the city.

I don't know if it's recuperating or if it's another arrangement.

"General!"

"General Yue."

"Hello General."

"General, don't worry, go and rest, with us, not a single fly will fly in tonight."

At the head of Xiangyang City, greetings sounded from the mouths of the soldiers.

But it was Yue Yun who went to the city in person.

Dressed in a delicate fish-scale armor, Yue Yun had a gentle smile on his face.

For the greetings of the soldiers, they also smiled and nodded in response.

He had eyes that looked like they were looking into the facts.

Let everyone who sees Yue Yun's face feel that Yue Yun is looking at him.

A little bit of satisfaction?

Honor?

Pride?

All of these are available, and they will work even harder!

After all, Yue Yun, as the commander of one party, inspected the city wall without sleeping at night.

What reason do they have for being lazy?

"General Yue!"

"General Yue!"

"General Yue!"

"Yue ........"

The long and narrow walls will come to an end.

An hour later, Yue Yun, who had inspected all the fortress towers on the city wall, walked to a protruding outpost.

Looking at the bright lights in the Mongolian camp not far away, like a fire dragon resting at night.

The gaze is gloomy.

"Forty thousand.

There is no reloading fire.

There are no siege engines.

Just bumped into Xiangyang.

You guys..... Do you look down on me too much? ”

The deep voice only echoed between the feet.

Under the firelight, Yue Yun had an inexplicable look on his face.

Behind him, a smile flashed on Lin Han's face, who was an adjutant.

"General, don't underestimate these Mongols, although they are not good at siege battles, they still have taken strong cities such as Chang'an from the hands of the Jin people."

"Do I have one?"

When Yue Yun heard this, he slowly shook his head: "I didn't." ”

It seems to be affirming himself.

As if to assure Yue Fei, who was far away in the Daimyo Mansion at this time, Yue Yun said with a firm gaze:

"I, Yue Yun, will not underestimate any enemy, especially as the commander of the army!"

"It's good that the general knows."

Seeing this, Lin Han chuckled and explained, "Ziyun is just reminding the general. ”

Yue Yun nodded.

patted Lin Han on the shoulder, and then walked towards the location of the city gate tower.

"Lin Han, I'm on duty tonight, you can go down and rest...."

"Whoa!"

......

......

On the first night of the Mongols' arrival, Yue Yun was on duty.

The night was calm.

Wait until dawn the next day.

Wisps of cooking smoke rose outside.

When Yue Yun heard a report that the Mongols were actually hunting and picnicking outside the city, his expression was weird.

"Picnic?"

"Yes, these Mongols didn't bring much rations.

At present, the weather is freezing cold, and the rivers are still thawed.

These Mongols had to go out hunting to alleviate the food crisis. ”

When he said this, Lin Han's expression was equally weird.

It seems that I never thought that someone would go out to fight without food.....

However, after thinking of some records about the Mongols in his mind, Lin Han explained with a wry smile:

"General, don't think that these Mongols will retreat because of lack of food.

According to the custom of the Mongols.

These people were able to fight for a month with only a small amount of dry food and the mare's milk from their horses, as well as a small amount of hunting gains....."

"A month?"

"In the case of them killing horses, maybe it will be longer...."

When Yue Yun heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper.

But nothing was said either.

Now is not the spring ploughing season, and the city will be besieged if it is besieged.

It's not a big deal.

Thinking like this in his heart, Yue Yun suddenly spoke:

"How's the spies in the city going?"

"There are quite a few, and all of them have been executed."

"Well, don't let your guard down....."

"Whoa!"

A morning seemed to have passed.

The Mongols outside the city had no intention of attacking the city.

Just surround the city.

As a result, when more and more people around the city received military orders and came to Xiangyang to come to the Song army.

The Mongols only shouted a few times from afar, shot a few arrows, and then turned their horses' heads in shouts.

They don't seem to have any idea of attacking these small forces.......

That's it.

When the sky was getting dark, most of the garrisons around Xiangyang City who had received military orders already felt that the city was close to the left.

A camp of more than 20,000 people.

It is dotted around Xiangyang City, confronting the Mongols four or five miles away!

The Mongols still had no intention of making a move.

After spending a day catching animals in the wild fields around the city.

this night.

They actually began to set up camp.....

No!

They're overseeing the fortifications!

Logs were cut down and stacked on top of each other to form a simple wall.....

"What are they doing???"

Seeing the wooden stakes that were stacked little by little on the outer soil bag, Yue Yun questioned.

"It looks like they're setting up camp....."

"Camp? On the edge of Xiangyang City? ”

"That's ....."

"It's crazy ....."

It's not just Yue Yun who thinks these Mongolians are crazy!

Most of the knowledgeable people in the city felt that the brain of the leader of the Outer Mongolians was abnormal!

You're here to siege the city!

It's all cavalry short of food!

If you don't hurry up to attack the city, you actually pile up dirt bags to play?

I don't understand!

I really can't read it!

But in the end, there is no danger.

Since the Mongols were reluctant to attack the city, everyone took it as a joke.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.....

When the sun rose on the fourth day, a solid wooden fortress of no small scale had been built outside the city of Xiangyang.

Three days.

The Mongols did not attack.

It seems that they are just here to mingle.....

"This camp was built, if the person who supervised the construction was under my hands, it is estimated that I have already slaughtered it with a knife!"

"Okay, it's good if people can make a look, do you want to ask for more?"

"Hahahaha....."

"Interesting, you say, what are these Mongols trying to do?"

"Hell knows!"

Many of the leading generals in Xiangyang City stood on the city wall at this time, commenting on the walled city built by the Mongols not far away.

Let's be honest.

And they were right.

The 'wooden villages' built by these Mongols are really unqualified.

Not to mention as a defense.

It's a wave of rockets that go down, and if it doesn't burn, it's all borrowed from the blessing of the humid weather.

But even so.

In Yue Yun's heart, he was still faintly a little uneasy.

But I don't know where this uneasiness comes from!

And just like that, another two days passed.

The Mongols, who were on the attacking side, were very calm.

On the contrary, Yue Yun's temper became more and more irritable.

He always felt like he was overlooking something.

But I can't remember.

Or rather, Yue Yun didn't know!!

So, what exactly did Yue Yun ignore?

What did the Mongols do this for?

The eighth day of the Mongols' arrival in Xiangyang.

Sunny.

In Xiangyang City, Blue House.

Lan Li was lying on a rocking chair, basking in the sun with a comfortable expression.

Next to him was Zixuan, who was pushing a chair in the back.

That little pouting can hang the bottle.....

Well.

Last night, Zixuan made a bet with Lan Li, but the bet was lost.

He had been losing for seven days in a row.....

"Hey, husband, when did you say the Mongols outside the city would attack the city?"

Gently pushing the rocking chair with her hand to shake, looking at Lan Li's comfortable expression on the chair, Zixuan was a little unhappy.

"People talk to you!"

"Huh? I guess it's going to be soon...."

Lan Li's eyes were shaken open, and then he replied without any sincerity.....

Besiege?

Wait.

Wait with Yue Yun, the second fool, and when the news comes, it is estimated that it will be almost over.

"It's almost .... How many days will it take to get soon? ”

"It's fast, it's fast."

"That's what you told me yesterday!"

"Hmm...."

"Humph!"

Zi Xuan pushed hard, then turned her head away from Lan Li.

Lan Li didn't care.

Just basking in the sun with a calm expression.

After another moment.

After all, Zixuan couldn't hold her breath, and couldn't help muttering:

"These Mongols are stupid! Stay and they'll starve to death! ”

"Hmm...."

"There is nothing to eat outside the city, and even the winter voles have been taken out and eaten by them!"

"Uh-huh....."

"Oh, have you listened to anyone!"

"Listening, listening."

Smack.

Lan Li's rocking chair was dismantled by Zixuan.....

One jumped up from the ground, and a look of helplessness appeared on Lan Li's face.

"What are you always thinking about attacking the city, isn't it good not to fight?"

"Humph! That's what you're saying now, why don't you say it when you lie to someone and bet with you?

The other day I asked someone... Family... At that time.... Why don't you say it! ”

Zixuan's eyes widened.

She had never seen someone as brazen as Lan Li!

"Uh.... All right.... You wait. ”

Lan Li, who took advantage of others, wanted to comfort Zixuan, who had a little temper.

But halfway through the words, Lan Li couldn't help but have a look on his face.

The next second.

He saw Old Fulu panting and running in from outside.

"Childe, Childe, General Xiaoyue is here...."

"Huh? And he said I wasn't there! ”

"I'm afraid it won't work.... He brought people in......"

As soon as Fu Lu's words were halfway through, Yue Yun's clear shouts sounded outside.

"Brother Lan, please come out and see you!"

Hearing the sound, Fu Lu patted the back of his head and smiled bitterly at Lan Li.

He really can't stop it.....

Seeing this, Lan Li chuckled and shook his head at Fulu.

"It's okay, since you can't hide, then invite him to the hall."

"Yes, Childe, the old slave is..."

......

......

Five minutes later.

When Lan Li came to the meeting room, he was also taken aback by the surrounding formation.

I saw that at this time, in the Lan family's living room, hundreds of elite soldiers full of blood were stationed inside and out.

Yue Yun himself, on the other hand, stood in the hall with his back to Lan Li.

Is the city so chaotic now?

Yue Yun even went out with so many people?

Thinking like this, Lan Li walked into the living room.

Hear Lan Li's footsteps.

Yue Yun turned his head:

"Brother Lan, excuse me."

"Nothing."

Lan Li shook his head, and then sat down on the main seat.

Yue Yun, which one is this?

Soon Lan Li knew.

"Brother Lan, Yue Yunyou will ask Brother Lan for this matter."

"You say."

"Yue Yun wanted to know what the Mongolians outside the city were doing, and asked Brother Lan to help Yun find out through the channel of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce."

"Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.... They don't know. ”

“......？”

Receiving the expected answer from Lan Li's mouth, a touch of loss flashed across Yue Yun's face.

Yes, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce definitely doesn't know.

Yue Yun just had the idea of what if.

But what?

Just when Yue Yun felt lost, Lan Li suddenly spoke:

"Forget it, although it's useless, I'll tell you."

"Huh?"

Hearing Lan Li's words, Yue Yun's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Brother Lan, please speak!" ”

"You want to know what the Mongols outside the city are doing?"

"Yes!"

"They didn't do anything, and they didn't think about attacking the city."

"What does Brother Lan mean?"

"Literally, they're just out of town."

"Please make it clear!"

"You.... Never mind. ”

Looking at Yue Yun in front of him, who still didn't understand, Lan Li frowned and said:

"Their purpose is to drag you until the decisive battle between Jin Guo and Yue Shuai on the back ends!

Do you understand this time? ”

Yue Yun......

The eyes, which were already full of bloodshots, turned red at this time.

There are some things that he can't think of, but he doesn't dare to think about.

The 40,000 Mongols, who had no intention of attacking the city, stayed outside the city of Xiangyang.

What are they going to do?

What else can you wait for besides dragging Yue Yun out of the city?

Silent.

Dead silence.

Seeing this, Lan Li sighed lightly:

"Did you find that I might as well not tell you?"

"Brother Blue.....

With a somewhat bitter smile, Yue Yun shook his head slowly: "Thank you Brother Lan for waking up this time, Yun.... I left first....."

After saying this, Yue Yun turned around and left.

Under the backdrop of the bright red robe, Yue Yun's back was actually a little sluggish.

Oh, yes.

He got it.

But so what?

Bring people north to support Yue Fei?

Do you want Xiangyang City anymore?

At the moment, the Mongols are not coming to attack the city, but if Yue Yun's main force is transferred, you are looking to see if the other party is attacking the city!

As for the decisive battle out of the city......

Think of the group of Mongols outside the city, one person, two horses, or even three horses.

Lan Li also sighed.

"The reason why I didn't tell you before was because I didn't want you to be so entangled...."

Yue Yun can't do anything!

Can only wait for the results in the city.......

And how long will you have to wait?

Cross the Yangtze River.

Kitakami Daimyo Mansion.

In the wilderness, the sound of artillery fire continued to roar.

The formed Iron Float charged.

Under the fire of a wooden cannon, either fall or enter the phalanx of spears.

And on this bloody battlefield.

Dongfang Bai was guarding Yue Fei, who was shouting angrily.

"Kill !!"

Eight days ago, Lan Li asked her to do something.

Before Yue Fei's defeat.

He must not be allowed to die in an accident......
