Chapter 62: Encounter Again
Xiangyang City, with yesterday's victory, the clouds of war seem to have dissipated a lot, love is a kind of contagious thing, keen people can find that the Xiangyang defenders patrolling the streets and alleys of Xiangyang City, compared with the past, seem to have changed a little.
Although the defenders of Xiangyang in the past were also elite, under normal circumstances, the expression, as if ready to sacrifice their lives for the country at any time, although firm, but with a dead air, and now, compared with the past, the military appearance seems to be no different, but what is exuded from the body is a vitality, a vitality full of hope for the future, and it is this vitality that silently infects the surrounding people.
"Lord Wang, the Mongols have not made any moves today." Li Xuan walked casually on the street, looking like a noble son, but Guo Jing beside him was full of sorrow, and even the rare weather in Xiangyang City did not affect his mood.
The news he got from his wife made Guo Jing really unable to enjoy this short period of tranquility and leisure, the grain and grass were cut off, no one knew the meaning better than Guo Jing, who had served as the marshal of the Mongolian army, with his understanding of the Mongols, the next thing he would face was the fierce offensive of the 200,000 Mongol army at any cost.
"Brother Guo is here in Xiangyang, and he has a high reputation." Seeing another aunt who was setting up a stall along the street greeting Guo Jing warmly and giving him a stack of freshly made pancakes, Li Xuan said casually.
"Lord Wang, the enemy is current, you ...... Not worried? Guo Jing smiled bitterly and thanked the enthusiastic aunt, and politely refused the other party's kindness, this year, it is not easy for everyone, Guo Jing is benevolent, even if he knows that the other party is sincere, he is not willing to accept the other party's gift, but he has a light attitude towards Li Xuan. Guo Jing was a little unacceptable, when was this.
"Are you worried?" Li Xuan turned his head, glanced at Guo Jing, nodded and said, "There is a little, but what should be done, I have already done it." Cut off the first line of Funiu Mountain, Kublai Khan wanted to transport grain and grass over, he could only take the waterway or detour to Huainan, this person is eloquent, the emperor's talent, than unwilling to let us take the initiative, the reason why it does not move today, just want to try to reclaim Funiu Mountain, open up the grain road. But this time will not be too long, at most two or three days, when Kublai Khan finds that there is nothing to do or the cost of subduing Funiu Mountain is too great, he will inevitably turn the spearhead and retarget Xiangyang. ”
"The key to achieving such results in yesterday's tactics is a strange word, and it is not a powerful means in itself. The next time you fight, it's not hard to figure out how to deal with it. At that time, it will be basically impossible to have yesterday's effect. ”
"Why did my 30,000 elites stop outside the city, I guess Mrs. Guo has already told you, so the only force we can use now is these 50,000 defenders. There are also all kinds of martial arts heroes, the military power has now been controlled by me, and the Xiangyang garrison soldiers themselves are good, if they are trained, they will definitely become an elite. It's a pity that what we lack most now is time, and we can only hone it slowly in the war. ”
Li Xuan turned his head and looked at Guo Jing seriously: "These are all we can do now, the only thing we can do now is to relax, adjust ourselves to the peak state, and meet the upcoming war. ”
Guo Jing had already prepared a basket of words to persuade Li Xuan, the more critical the time, he would always feel that there were still many things that had not been done well, but at this moment, listening to Li Xuan so thoroughly say the upcoming battle intent in this way of analysis, his mood suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Then according to what the prince sees, can we defend Xiangyang City this time?" After a long time, Guo Jing looked at Li Xuan and asked a little melancholy.
"Maybe, maybe not, Brother Guo is also familiar with the book of soldiers, when you know that on this battlefield, there has never been anything absolute, on the battlefield, ever-changing, maybe a small mistake can lead to an irreparable rout, and now, there are too many variables in Xiangyang City, Kublai Khan himself is not a fuel-efficient lamp, in addition, Lu Wenhuan Those people may not be willing to willingly hand over the rights in their hands, although they missed yesterday, but let me completely collect the military power, but they have been operating in Xiangyang City for more than ten years, and they have a deep heritageWhat we can do for the commander is to minimize the impact of these variables. Li Xuan looked ahead and said leisurely, looking back, he was really lucky to come this way.
Guo Jing couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, it was the first time that someone had dissected a battle for him in this way, but it was undeniable that although it didn't sound as mysterious as others said, Li Xuan's way was obviously easier for people to understand, especially for people like Guo Jing who didn't think fast.
With Guo Jing's feelings for Xiangyang, he does not approve of this seemingly crazy practice of betting on Xiangyang City, but at the moment, the wood is already in the boat, not to mention that the king of Xiangyang is Li Xuan and not him Guo Jing, and it is too late to stop it at this time.
Just as Guo Jing was thinking, Li Xuan suddenly stopped, frowned slightly, and looked ahead.
The sound of weapons colliding and shouting from front also woke Guo Jing up, and when he looked up, he saw a cold woman in white clothes who was besieged by four men of different colors.
Such a delicate woman, looking at the woman who still maintained a cold and ethereal temperament under the siege of four people, Guo Jing couldn't help but praise.
Dressed in white like snow, and the green silk, with a sickly paleness on her cold face, there is not much emotion between her eyebrows, even at this moment, she has obvious internal injuries on her body, even if she is besieged by four people whose martial arts are not much worse than her, but in her, there is absolutely no trace of fear or panic, a plain white ribbon, a golden bell tied to it, with her dancing, making a clear sound.
What a coincidence
Li Xuan shook his head, his index finger stretched out, a little void, and a wisp of gold flowed through his fingertips like liquid, giving rise to a sound of air explosion at his fingertips.
"Poof~"
Blood mixed with brains, bright red sticky flowers burst open on the head of a man who punched hard without any mercy, and the man still had a hideous smile on his face, but he had frozen on his face forever, and fell to the ground without warning.
Looking at the dress, it seems to be the dragon set called Ma Guangzuo, and the other three must be the so-called Mongolian Three Heroes.
Xiaolongnu's state at the moment is obviously not very good, she was entangled with the four masters before, but she was barely supporting, at this time, she saw that one of the people besieging her suddenly died, she was slightly stunned, and then she saw Li Xuan not far away slowly retracting her index finger, a touch of warmth flashed on her cold face, and she fainted very simply.
Belch~
Li Xuan was slightly stunned, the fleeting warmth in the eyes of the little dragon girl naturally couldn't escape his eyes, but as a city-level beauty, should he have a sense of precaution?
complained in his heart, but he didn't hesitate in the slightest, stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air, the beauty who was about to fall to the ground seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, and in the eyes of the Mongolian Sanjie and Guo Jing or frightened or surprised, the body rose into the air in violation of the laws of nature, slowly leaped a distance of three zhang, and fell softly into Li Xuan's arms.
Aerial photography, naturally has heard of it, many famous masters on the rivers and lakes have this ability, the most famous, is one of the seven sons of the Quanzhen Sect, the Iron Foot Immortal King Chu Yi, when in the palace of the Jin Kingdom, with the ability to take aerial objects, to deter the evil.
But that kind of aerial camera is just grabbing some things like wine jugs and teacups in the air, at most they are just tables and chairs, even Guo Jing, I have never heard of anyone being able to catch a living person from a distance of three feet, and looking at the lightweight appearance, the other party obviously has spare strength.
"Your Excellency is also a generation of masters, but you made a sneak attack, such an act, aren't you afraid of the world's heroes laughing?" It was Yin Kexi, who had curly hair and yellow beard, who spoke, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and had the ability to kill Ma Guangzuo at such a distance with the people in front of him waving their hands, but they didn't even have the idea of escaping, and now they only wanted to squeeze each other with words.
"Four big men, besieging a weak woman, you are worthy of the name of a hero." Li Xuan shook his head, enjoying the warm and soft touch in his arms, and looked at the three of them: "Yin Kexi, Nemo Xing and Xiao Xiangzi, the three Mongolian heroes are all here, the one who died is out of stock should be Ma Guangzuo, don't tell me that the four of them came to Xiangyang for sightseeing at this time, this joke is not funny at all." ”
"Who are you!?" Yin Kexi subconsciously took a step back and looked at each other vigilantly, the four of them were still new to the Central Plains, and their reputation was not obvious, but the people in front of them seemed to be very familiar with them, this feeling of being seen through was really not very good, especially at the moment when even fate was in the hands of others.
"He's Guo Jing, Kublai Khan sent you, won't he not even tell you who the target of the assassination is?" Li Xuan looked at the three of them with some amusement.
"You are Li Xuan, the king of Xiangyang!" Yin Kexi's face changed, he glanced at Guo Jing, and then looked at Li Xuan with an ugly face, but at this moment he regretted his reckless decision at the beginning, he thought that with his own ability, the Central Plains should not have too many opponents, but at this moment, when he really faced these Central Plains masters, he knew how ignorant he was before.
"Since you know it's me, then follow me, the three of them are all smart people, I hope you don't give me a reason to make another move." Li Xuan nodded, picked up the little dragon girl, and turned around and walked in the direction of Guo's mansion.
Behind him, Yin Kexi and the three of them glanced at each other, and could see the bitterness in each other's eyes, although the other party only shot once from beginning to end, but in the face of each other, the three of them could not even rise to resist at the moment, and in Guo Jing's strange gaze, they followed step by step. (To be continued......)
