Southern Song Dynasty, Xiangyang.

Despite the heroic Guo Jing sitting in town, defending Xiangyang for 20 years, more than once the arrogant Mongolian army repelled, for the Mongols, the people of Xiangyang are not as afraid as other places, the people's heart to resist Mongolia is very strong, but this time, it is different from the past, the Mongolian army went south, with Ashu as the marshal, the Mongolian general Ali Hague as the vanguard, all the way south, even breaking Ezhou, Nanyang, now, I heard that after Kublai Khan will also personally go south to sit in the town, although the Mongolian army has not yet arrived, but in this city, I can already feel a kind of depression that is about to come by storm.

In the city guard mansion, almost all the important people in Xiangyang City gathered at this moment, including the city guard Lu Wenhuan, the hero Guo Jing and his wife, and some highly respected figures in the city.

"I don't know why General Lu called me and others to come?" Feeling a somewhat dignified atmosphere, Guo Jing's eyes fell on Lu Wenhuan, decades of military career, so that the original cheeks were thick and simple, and they had a majestic bearing, which made people dare not underestimate it.

Although he has been stationed in Xiangyang for many years, Guo Jing himself is white, if according to the rules, he is not qualified to participate in this level of meeting, but the prestige of the hero Guo Jing in the hearts of the military and civilians in Xiangyang is not comparable to Lu Wenhuan, Lu Wenhuan also has self-knowledge, he can defend Xiangyang for many years, relying on Guo Jing, naturally dare not slack off.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Speaking of this matter, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, the reinforcements of the imperial court are about to arrive, there are about 30,000 soldiers and horses, well-equipped and well-trained." ”

"Oh!" Guo Jing was overjoyed when he heard this: "I don't know when I can arrive?" ”

During this time, Guo Jing's pressure was not small, there were 50,000 garrisons in Xiangyang, and he had trained according to the method of military training in Wu Mu's suicide note for many years, and it had been 20 years. It was also quite effective, most of the Song soldiers were weak, and often a Mongolian squad dared to chase and fight against the Song army ten times its size, but only the Xiangyang army, even if it faced the same number of Mongolian troops in the field, was not afraid at all.

According to the scale of the past, Guo Jing has enough confidence. But this time, the Mongolian army of 200,000 is on land and water, and it can be said that Xiangyang is determined to win, such a huge might, that is, Guo Jing, and there is no confidence that Xiangyang can be preserved in this battle, although a heroic post has been issued, and a heroic conference is ready to be held, calling on heroes from all walks of life to resist the Mongol invasion. But whether he can hold it, Guo Jing is not the slightest sure.

At this time, he suddenly heard that the imperial court sent reinforcements, and he was immediately overjoyed, with these 30,000 troops, plus the people from all walks of life who came to help and the Xiangyang garrison, the chances of holding Xiangyang were quite high, he was upright and did not know how to hide his feelings. Rejoicing in the heart, naturally rejoicing. didn't notice the somewhat ugly faces of Lu Wenhuan and the guards.

Huang Rong secretly pulled Guo Jing's sleeve and glanced at Guo Jing vaguely, she was exquisite, this matter was a good thing, but Lu Wenhuan's faces were not good-looking, and I am afraid there were other worries.

Although Guo Jing is a little ignorant. But the husband and wife have cooperated for many years, and they have already developed enough tacit understanding, and when they saw their beloved wife's expression, although they were puzzled, they still put away the joy on their faces.

"I wonder if the imperial court has other arrangements?" Huang Rong looked at Lu Wenhuan. Asked gently.

"In addition to the 30,000 reinforcements, the imperial court also sent a king of Xiangyang, who is responsible for sitting in Xiangyang, the governor of Xiangfan's war, and has the right to make decisions on the spot, so there is no need to play the imperial court." Lu Wenhuan smiled bitterly.

Guo Jing's face changed slightly when he heard this, even if he was as dull as him in politics, he was a little amazed at the great authority of this human right at this moment.

"Isn't this the same as the enclosure of the territory?" Huang Rongdai frowned slightly, looked at Lu Wenhuan suspiciously, and said, "Who is this King of Xiangyang, who can be so entrusted with such a heavy task by the imperial court?" ”

In the history of the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to the early days of the founding of the country, there were few princes with real power, no wonder the imperial court would be so generous this time, sending 30,000 elite troops at a time.

"I also heard about this person in my early years, but I don't know how it is, it's just news from my brother, this person is very close to Jia Xiang, and Jia Xiang has made a lot of efforts to get this right this time......" Lu Wenhuan didn't finish his words in the end, just shook his head bitterly and smiled bitterly.

"Jia Rudao?" Guo Jing's thick eyebrows are raised, although Jia Nidao is high and powerful, but in the rivers and lakes, his reputation is not very good, thinking about the general Xia Gui from Jia Nidao's door, Guo Jing's mood is getting heavier and heavier, he is not afraid of god-like opponents, he is afraid of pig-like teammates, the original Xia Gui general, with 50,000 troops eastward along the waterway, was originally violent, and Xiangyang City was also ready for a counterattack.

As a result, when he encountered the Mongolian army, the 'kneeling' general really knelt, and the 50,000 army was stunned without an arrow, and was scared away by a partial Mongolian army, and almost put the entire Xiangyang into the pit, and then the other party returned to Beijing, but was rewarded by the imperial court for preserving the 50,000 army, and it was also from then on that Guo Jing had an instinctive dislike for Jia Rudao, and therefore, he did not have too much good impression of the upcoming Li Xuan.

"General Lu, this matter is a matter of the imperial court, I can't wait for a white body, it is useless to know this matter, the hero conference is about to be held, and I will rush to the Dasheng Pass in the near future, Xiangyang defense, and I have to worry about General Lu." Huang Rong pulled Guo Jing, who still wanted to say something, and smiled at Lu Wenhuan.

"What's the trouble of talking about the things that are within the scope?" A flash of disappointment flashed in Lu Wenhuan's eyes, and he got up to see him off.

"Rong'er, I will only go to Dashengguan tomorrow, why are you in such a hurry?" Out of the Taishou Mansion, Guo Jing looked at Huang Rong with some puzzlement.

"This matter has already involved the power struggle of the imperial court, and we are reckless in the rivers and lakes, so don't get involved unless we have to." Shaking her head, Huang Rong frowned and glanced in the direction of the Taishou Mansion, sighed and said.

Although Lu Wenhuan did not say it, but she was clear-minded, and she could naturally understand the meaning of those words, nothing more than hoping to use Guo Jing's influence among the military and civilians in Xiangyang, and secretly squeeze out the new king of Xiangyang, in the final analysis, although Guo Jing has a very high reputation in Xiangyang, but Lu Wenhuan is still the real master of this Xiangyang City, even Guo Jing, many times must respect Lu Wenhuan's meaning, now that there is an extra boss, naturally I don't want to hand over the power so lightly.

If it weren't for Guo Jing's vow to defend Xiangyang, Huang Rong really didn't want to care about this matter anymore, regardless of whether he would be a Mongol or a Han in the future, but this thought couldn't really be said.

……

"Lord Wang, look at the banner, it's Shi Tianze's sailor." On the bank of the Han River, on a small hill, at this moment, the small hill has been stained red with the blood flowing from the corpses, and in the bloody breath, several figures stand quietly on the top of the hill, looking at the fleet that is gradually approaching this side from a distance.

"Shi Tianze?" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, he didn't know much about the Mongolian generals in this period, and he couldn't help but look at the people beside him when he heard this.

"Eight years ago, the Mongolian general Ashu personally commanded the army to attack Xiangyang, but suffered a big loss from the water army, and the back road was almost cut off, and then Mongolia began to train the water army, this Shi Tianze was originally a general of the Great Song Dynasty, and later descended to the Mongols, and became the general of the Mongolian water army, specifically responsible for dealing with our water army, these years, but there is no less blockage for us." The young general's tone was full of gritted hatred, and he obviously had a deep prejudice against this Song general who had defected to the Mongols.

"Now that the Mongolian navy has arrived, the vanguard army should not be far away, Ali Hague is no less than Ashu's general in Mongolia, let's avoid its edge first." Li Xuan's gaze paused for a moment on top of the sweat.

"Hmph, no matter how powerful they are, they can't compare to the prince, sooner or later they will be good-looking." The young general snorted coldly, looking at Li Xuan with burning worship in his eyes, the time he followed Li Xuan can be said to be the happiest period of his military career, the Mongolian cavalry that was rumored to be miraculous in the past, in front of this prince, is as obedient as an animal in captivity, almost wherever the prince wants them to go, it is estimated that the Mongolian generals do not have the ability to make their soldiers so obedient.

"Where did you learn this sycophant? It sucks! Li Xuan glanced at the young general with some amusement, shook his head and scolded with a smile.

"Poof~" Poison Island Tsuneko beside him looked at the young general whose face was instantly suffocated, and couldn't help but chuckle.

The originally red face became even redder in the laughter of the poisonous island Yanzi, and the young man stiffened his neck and defended: "Lord Wang, this is not sycophancy, many brothers in the army say that it is refreshing to fight with the prince." ”

"Okay, don't leave again, when the Mongolian army comes, you don't have to go."

"Hey, Lord Wang, our army is not here! Where is this going? ”

"Big win! I heard that there is a martial arts event there, go and see it. Li Xuan said loudly.

"Oh, is it the beggar gang conference held by Guo Daxia? I'm going too. The young general's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly rode his horse to catch up.

"You know that, too?" Li Xuan looked at the young general behind him in some surprise.

"Of course, Guo Daxia is famous, does not seek fame and fortune, and has been guarding Xiangyang for 20 years, that is a real hero, if it weren't for his old man, with that Lu Wenhuan, I'm afraid he would have been beaten by the Mongols a long time ago, right?" At the end, there was obviously a deep disdain in the young general's eyes.

"The flying pigeon passed the book, so that the army was camped fifty miles away from Xiangyang, and during my absence, the military affairs were temporarily managed by Luo Feng." After Li Xuan gave an order, he rode his horse and galloped, looking at the scenery of the rapid retreat on both sides, but he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart, but he didn't expect that this time, the system would give him up to a year to arrange the time, so that he could completely sit in the position of the king of Xiangyang, but he had some expectations for the next hero conference.
