The night wind howled, and the drifting rain obscured the light of dawn.

Kublai Khan stood expressionlessly outside the cave where he was temporarily sheltered, looking into the distance with a somewhat blank gaze, letting the cold raindrops hit his face, listening to the wailing from the cave behind him, and his heart twitched violently a few times.

Most of the elites under his command are Mongolian elites, and they are not adapted to the climate in the south, especially after experiencing the baptism of the flood, most of the remaining soldiers have suffered from the wind cold, and now they encounter such weather, even if there is no pursuit by the Song army, it is estimated that they will not survive this summer.

These are all veterans of a hundred battles, each of them is enough to serve as a centurion or even a thousand-year-old elite in the ordinary army, but they have not chosen that brilliant future, they have been silently following behind them, preferring to be an inconspicuous pawn, even when they are most frustrated, they will not give up, and now, these loyal people, the proudest warriors of Mongolia, did not die on the battlefield, but they will die sadly from the torment of illness, and as their commander, the Mongolian prince, One of the most honorable men in the world, Kublai Khan was powerless.

Kublai Khan suddenly didn't dare to face the pair of eyes that were still firm even at the end of the mountain and water, Rao Kublai Khan's heart was already like a stone, and he couldn't ignore the trusting gaze of these followers.

With the help of the rain, washing away the tears in the corners of his eyes, he is a man who is determined to trample the world under his feet, and the emperor cannot have tears.

"Lord Wang, it's been a day, let's eat some meat." The Golden Wheel came behind Kublai Khan and handed over the fragrant horse meat, as well as a wine sac filled with mare's milk wine.

"Let the soldiers eat first." Kublai Khan shook his head and did not take it.

Seeing this, the Golden Wheel Dharma King did not force it. sighed and said: "I got the news from the soldiers who gathered over, Xinye, Dengzhou, and Chaozhou have fallen one after another, and even Nanyang was broken by a junior general named Tang Jun last night by a surprise attack by five hundred Song troops, the defender Liu Quan was captured, and the military general of our army was killed in battle." The Jingxiang area has completely fallen, and the prince still needs to make plans early. ”

King Jinlun is a pure martial artist, and under normal circumstances, he is reluctant to participate in these things, but at this moment, Kublai Khan has no one to use, and even the middle-aged scribe who was loved by Kublai Khan is also infected with wind and cold at this moment. His Holiness had to stand up.

"The vultures are also dead?" Kublai Khan was stunned, a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes, Vulture was a veteran in the army, followed him to fight in the north and south, and made great achievements, but he didn't expect it, but he would die here, and sighed. Kublai Khan asked, "Is there any news of Ali Hague?" ”

"Not yet, in addition. Ah Shu had already determined that three days ago, he was besieged by the Song people near Bailong Beach and died in battle. King Jinlun shook his head, even if he didn't ask about political affairs, he had heard of the prestige of Ashu, and he was a handsome talent that was not born in Mongolia. The prestige is not in the slightest under Kublai Khan, the Mongol prince.

"Ashu!?" Kublai Khan's body trembled, and he looked back with an incredulous gaze, looking at the Golden Wheel Dharma King who was close at hand, although the moment when Ah Shu changed his clothes and armor to lure the enemy. There was already a worst guess in his heart, but at this moment, when he really heard the bad news, it still made Kublai Khan a little distracted.

Mongolia can do without Ashu, but it can't do without the prince, please ask the prince to avenge me in the future.

From that time on, Ah Shu already had a prediction in his heart, right? Kublai Khan raised his head, facing the heavy rain, remembering the pride of the two of them in the past, but now it is only a few days, but it has been separated by yin and yang, and the heart, as if there are countless sharp blades constantly twisting in it, the pain of drilling the heart, and even the breathing is stagnant at this moment.

King Jinlun silently withdrew a step, looking at the majestic back, but at the moment he couldn't stop trembling in this wind and rain, and did not go to comfort, this time the head was too big, the 200,000 army was not one, a large number of cities fell, and more importantly, the death of Marshal Ashu was definitely a tragic blow to Mongolia.

Kublai Khan's love was not low for too long, as a monarch, he knew very well what he should do now, he was the wolf king, even if he was injured, he would only lick his wounds silently in the dark, and when he returned to people, even if he was a wolf, he was still the wolf king who could deter the wolves.

"Lord Wang!" Looking at Kublai Khan, who had returned, several injured people who were guarding the entrance of the cave struggled to stand up.

"Let's prepare, although this heavy rain has slowed us down, it has also restricted the march of the Song people, and the heavy rain will become our best cover, after Nanyang, it is the border of our Mongolia, and when we get there, we will be safe." His gaze swept over the expectant gazes, and Kublai Khan said in a deep voice.

"Swear to follow the prince to the death." The Mongol warrior in the cave roared to his feet, and his firm voice made the entire cave tremble.

"Let's go." Kublai Khan's face became resolute, turned around, and looked in the direction of Xiangyang: "Next time, we will get back all the glory and dignity we have lost, and return the shame that the Song people have added to us tenfold and hundredfold!" ”

"Roar~"

In Nanyang City, Li Xuan stood in the city tower, looked at the misty rain curtain, shook his head with some regret, and sighed: "Once this heavy rain passes, if you want to hunt and kill Kublai Khan again, I'm afraid it will be impossible." ”

"Lord Wang, why don't I take someone to look for it again?" Behind Li Xuan, Tang Jun twisted his somewhat sour neck, and his eyes flashed with a sparkle that was about to move.

"No need." Li Xuan shook his head: "The most important thing at the moment is to consolidate the results of the war, Nanyang, Xinye, Dengzhou, Chaozhou, our territory has more than doubled, the newly surrendered troops need to be reorganized, and the people need to be reassured, there are not enough manpower, and there are not too many troops to pursue Kublai Khan." ”

Nanyang, Xinye, Dengzhou, and Chaozhou alone have 30,000 troops, this number has exceeded Li Xuan's headquarters of soldiers and horses, in addition, although Xiangyang's military heart has been stabilized, but if you want to completely subdue this army, it will also take time to digest, besides, Kublai Khan's spirit is not exhausted, even if he reluctantly sends men and horses to chase and kill, it will only be in vain, and even the loss of troops may not be said.

The number of qi sounds mysterious and mysterious, but Li Xuan, who already has a subordinate plane, is very clear about the existence of the number of qi, although Kublai Khan does not have the luck of the protagonist like Yang Guo in the Condor plane, but he has a huge dragon qi, even if after this battle, his dragon qi is greatly damaged, but as the founding emperor of Mengyuan, he is the protagonist of the plane, and in the dark, there will be an inexplicable power to protect it, at least before he ascends to the throne, it will be difficult to kill him.

"Tang Jun, there is one thing that you need to do." As if remembering something, Li Xuan turned his head, looked at Tang Jun, and said in a deep voice.

"Well, at the behest of the king." Tang Jun was slightly stunned, Li Xuan rarely spoke with this attitude.

"After the rain stopped, I hurried back to Xiangyang, don't pay attention to anything else, give me the Xiangyang army tightly in my hands, without my military order, even the emperor's holy decree don't have to be ignored, Xiangyang army, to be completely in my hands, you know?" Li Xuan looked at Tang Jun with an inexplicable meaning flashing in his eyes.

"Lord Wang, are you preparing to ......" Tang Jun's eyes lit up, and the meaning revealed in Li Xuan's words made him feel extremely excited, for the corrupt Song Ting, as early as Lin'an, he was completely desperate.

"Xiangyang City was bought by our soldiers with their blood and lives, and it belongs only to us, and no one is allowed to touch it." Li Xuan turned around, the light flashing in his eyes at that moment, even a battlefield warrior like Tang Jun had an inexplicable fear, and he couldn't help but have an urge to surrender.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you don't need to stop the rain, you will go here at the end." He nodded vigorously and said loudly.

Looking at Tang Jun's back, Li Xuan silently calculated the next plan in his heart, Nanyang, Xinye, Dengzhou, and Chaozhou have now fallen under his control, and it will take a long time to digest it thoroughly, the new defeat of the Mongols, the loss of 200,000 elites, is definitely a huge blow to the prestige of Kublai Khan, who advocated the southern expedition, and it is basically impossible for a large army to go south in a short period of time, and there will be a period of stability for the newly acquired four places.

What really worries Li Xuan is that Song Ting's attitude is the biggest problem he will face next.

Although the Tong Guò Plane System, the powerful interference ability of the Tong Guò System, in this plane to obtain the status of a powerful prince such as the King of Xiangyang, but since he came to this plane, the advantages brought by the initial identity have gradually disappeared with the passage of time, especially after this war, the Zhidi has expanded four or five times at once, and almost half of Jing Xiang is included.

More importantly, after this war, Mongolia's vitality was greatly damaged, in the short term, there is no longer the ability to march south, the original land of the four wars, the hot potato in everyone's eyes will become a fragrant bait in an instant, how could those high-level magnates of the Great Song Dynasty let such a piece of fat fall into the hands of themselves, who are free from the core of the Great Song Dynasty?

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare in advance.

If it comes to defense and strategizing, Luo Feng is undoubtedly a more suitable candidate, whether it is the overall situation or the ability to command troops, Luo Feng is above Tang Jun, but Tang Jun has a natural appeal, he is a natural soldier, he can drive the morale of the army in his words and deeds on weekdays, and can help Li Xuan condense the heart of the Xiangyang army in the shortest possible time.

As for the safety of Xiangyang, Li Xuan didn't care, although he had studied Yue Fei's Wu Mu suicide note, but he was not ready to be the second Yue Wu Mu, and he was free to Xiangyang except for the army, there was only one purpose, he needed a great righteousness, a reason to send troops to the Great Song Dynasty in an open and honest manner!
