Chapter 24: Reversal

In Xiangyang, with the news that Kublai Khan personally led an army of 300,000 to the south, the clouds of war once again loomed over the ancient city, but this time, this time, the atmosphere was not so oppressive.

Zhuo Ao originally established the world's first village, two cities and a village in the shape of the joint defense strategy in the next battle achieved good results, these 20 years, Mongolia also had three southward experience, but not this time, every time in the face of two cities and a village of the joint defense, are all feathers back, and almost all of them are fiasco, but also let the people in Xiangfan around the confidence greatly increased, although this time Mongolia is strong, but Xiangfan military and civilians are very confident that Mongolia can be repelled.

However, compared with the optimism of the people, Guo Mansion is dignified.

"Brother Guo, what do you think is good?" Xiangyang Taishou Lu Wende looked at Guo Jing anxiously.

"Is the message confirmed? Changing generals in battle is a taboo for soldiers, and Xia Gui's character is probably ......" Guo Jing frowned, and only looked at Lu Wende for a long time to confirm again.

"The Divine Decree has come down, is this still false?" Lu Wende looked at Guo Jing with a wry smile, sure enough, this kind of thing should not be discussed with Guo Jing, just looked at Huang Rong.

"Over the years, with the growth of the Yipin Chamber of Commerce, the land of Xiangfan has also become a rich land, and the reason why we have not been able to do it for a long time is only because we need to resist Mongolia, and for the sake of the overall situation, the imperial court does not dare to move lightly." Huang Rong pondered.

"Rong'er, now that the Mongolian army of 300,000 is heading south, doesn't the imperial court need to have scruples?" Guo Jing looked at Huang Rong puzzled, this logic is not right.

"The imperial court has vigorously trained the naval army in recent years, and I am afraid that it has the intention of relying on the Yangtze River to conquer the river with Mongolia." Huang Rong frowned and said: "Xia Gui is here, I'm afraid it's not to resist the enemy, but to empty this Xiangfan land before the arrival of the Mongolian army." ”

"Ridiculous!" Guo Jing patted Zhuo Ao and said angrily: "What kind of truth is this? ”

Lu Wende said with a wry smile: "Over the years, the imperial court has wanted to do something to the Yipin Chamber of Commerce more than once, but it has been in vain, the world's masters have come out of Xiangfan, this time, the imperial court is afraid that it wants to cut off the back road of the Yipin Chamber of Commerce and force the Yipin Chamber of Commerce to move south, as long as it crosses the Yangtze River, it is the world of the imperial court, and the Yipin Chamber of Commerce will not be able to make waves even if it is powerful." ”

"That's all, just give up the land of Xiangfan to others and destroy the Great Wall!?" Guo Jing didn't understand which one was important.

Lu Wende was silent speechlessly, he was very clear about the thoughts of those people in the court, in this matter, it is not that no one objected, but the Yipin Chamber of Commerce has been doing business in the world for the past 20 years, and the wealth gathered has really aroused the minds of too many people, and the most important thing is that the Yipin Chamber of Commerce has never bought the rise of the imperial court, and even once directly imposed economic sanctions on the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, almost making the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas riot, this point directly hit the taboo of the imperial court, and they hope to take advantage of this Mongolia to go south, Completely eradicate the cancer of the Yipin Chamber of Commerce, which has already endangered the imperial court.

It's a pity that those people didn't see the situation clearly at all, let alone what terrifying power was hidden in the Yipin Chamber of Commerce.

As the Taishou of Xiangyang, the supreme consul in the Xiangfan area, in the past twenty years, Lu Wende has already been subdued by Zhuo Ao in secret, otherwise how could he occupy such an important position under Zhuo Ao's nose.

Therefore, although the land of Xiangfan is now under the imperial court on the surface, in fact, the area around Xiangfan and even further away has already been secretly controlled by Zhuo Ao.

"Brother Jing doesn't need to be angry, I think this matter will be solved by Master Zhuo, we just need to fight the enemy with peace of mind." Huang Rong's eyes moved, and she suddenly looked at Guo Jing with a smile.

Guo Jing didn't know, but Huang Rong knew very well that over the years, the Xiangfan area had been secretly controlled by Zhuo Ao, and even they had gotten the news, how could the first village in the world not get the news, a few days ago, Guo Poyu, who had just come back, was suddenly recalled by Zhuo Ao to the first village in the world, at that time Huang Rong was still puzzled about what was going on, and now it seems that I am afraid that Zhuo Ao is going to do something to the court.

As for Lu Wende......

Huang Rong glanced at Lu Wende, smiled and nodded, not to talk about this matter, but to ask them to express their position.

Seeing Huang Rong's smile, Lu Wende understood that this female middle school Zhuge had already understood what she meant, and immediately got up to say goodbye.

Three days later, a sudden assassination made the Southern Song Dynasty court extremely angry, and General Xia Gui, who was appointed as the supervision envoy of the Northern Theater of Operations, was assassinated by unknown figures before he crossed the Yangtze River, and his entourage, including Xia Gui, was all killed.

This is almost the most serious official assassination incident in the past 100 years, the whole door was slaughtered, for a while, the government and the opposition were shaken, although there is no clear evidence, but there can be this kind of means in the gods and ghosts, do this kind of thing, I am afraid to look at the world, and only the world's first village has such strength.

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the Yipin Chamber of Commerce in the country, and all shops were sealed.

It's a pity that the holy decree has not yet reached the place, something frightened the emperor happened, under the rule of the Southern Song Dynasty, suddenly there were eighteen state capitals raised the banner of rebellion, counting the ten crimes of the Southern Song Dynasty, almost on the same day announced the separation from the Southern Song Dynasty, under the command of the Southern Song Dynasty, two-thirds of the territory fell on the same day, the court officials were killed, the military power was seized, and the eighteen government soldiers and horses were sent to Lin'an.

The emperor was completely blinded after getting the news, and now, he finally knows why the Yipin Chamber of Commerce treats the court with such a tough attitude, from the very beginning, people have come for the purpose of seizing their own country.

In a panic, the emperor hurriedly ordered to prepare to meet the enemy, but unfortunately, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and in the face of the conquest of the coalition forces of the eighteen prefectures, there was also civil strife in Lin'an City, and the palace was breached at the first time.

The emperor and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were surrounded in the palace, a fire burned to death, no one was spared, the Southern Song Dynasty court disappeared in one day, the eighteen provinces of the rebels easily occupied the palace, but the Mongols expected the civil strife did not happen, the eighteen provinces of the rebels almost in one day, elected a new leader - Guo Poyu, the leader of the eighteen mansions of the rebels was even more willing to hand over the army, willing to call himself a minister.

When the news of "this ......" reached Xiangyang, Guo Poyu had become the co-owner of the world, and he led the army to cross the river, preparing to fight to the death with Mongolia.

Not only Guo Jing, but even Huang Rong, when he heard that Guo Poyu became the leader of the Righteous Army, he panicked at the first time, all along, Huang Rong thought that Zhuo Ao wanted to meddle in the world, but now he made Guo Poyu the leader of the Righteous Army, which had to make Huang Rong panic, for fear that Guo Poyu would be used by Zhuo Ao and become a puppet.

"Mother, I can't see the teacher now, he has been in retreat for six years." After Guo Xiang heard Huang Rong's intention, he pouted and said: "As for my brother's matter, my mother can rest assured, no matter how good the teacher is, he won't harm his younger brother, right?" ”

"The most ruthless emperor family, for that position, since ancient times, father and son have killed each other, and brothers have turned against each other, not to mention master and apprentice?" Huang Rong glared at Guo Xiang.

"For teachers, I'm afraid this position is really not in my eyes." Guo Xiang rolled his eyes: "You can prepare to be your queen mother with peace of mind." ”

"Say what?" Huang Rong glared at the child, left in a hurry, and went directly to find Yazi, hoping that Yazi could help her meet Zhuo Ao.

It's a pity that Yazi hasn't seen Zhuo Ao for six years, and Huang Rong can only entrust the affairs of Xiangyang to Yazi and others to assist Guo Jing, and go to the first village in the world in person.

At the same time, Kublai Khan, who was originally entrenched in the Nanyang area, immediately waved his army south when he learned of the civil strife in the Southern Song Dynasty, preparing to take advantage of the unstable hearts of the Southern Song Dynasty to attack Xiangyang in one fell swoop, take advantage of the situation to cross the river in the south, and completely sweep away the Southern Song Dynasty.
