After Meng Ge, Kublai Khan, and Ding Yanzhi led their troops to retreat into Huainan, they did not stay in the cities along the way, but went all the way north, bypassing the defense line laid by the Song army, and joined the army led by Ali Buge in Luzhou.

At this time, the war between the Song Dynasty and Mongolia had been completely concentrated in Jiangnan Road and Huainan Road, in which Wogetai, Batu, and Hulegu led their armies to fight against Wumu, Yiwu, Xinghua and other armies on Jiangnan Road, while Meng Ge, Kublai Khan, and Ali Buge concentrated their forces in Luzhou and confronted the Yanggu Army, Zhennan Army, and Huai'an Army.

At this time, Yao Ruoyu and the others had also crossed the border between Jinghu North Road and Huainan Road and galloped towards Luzhou.

Wanyan Fuchan had been operating the dark department for many years, and after Song Kai took over, she took advantage of the chaos caused by this war and began to infiltrate wildly into the territory of the Song Dynasty.

So along the way, information about the recent war between the Song Dynasty and Mongolia almost flew to Yao Ruoyu's hands like a butterfly.

Seven days later, the Black Dragon Army finally arrived in Lu'an.

Before they got close to the city, the garrison in the city had already discovered them, and after a while, they saw the city gate slowly open, and several horsemen swept out of it, heading straight for the Black Dragon Army.

After being reported by the guards, Yao Ruoyu walked out of the carriage, changed a batch of horses, and rode up with Fan Hu and Xu Xuanrong.

It was Chu Xuan, Chu Yuan, and Chu Hao, among the five sons of the Chu family, who had seen the banner of the Black Dragon Army on the city before, and knew that it was Yao Ruoyu who had arrived, so they went out to greet them.

The two sides also got acquainted, and without too much politeness, Chu Xuan connected Yao Ruoyu, Xu Xuanrong, Cai Xudong, Fan Hu, and Song Kai to the city, while Wang Liangchen took the Black Dragon Army to camp outside the city to rest.

On the way to the county office, Yao Ruoyu also asked about the current battle situation on Huainan Road, but Chu Xuan did not hide anything, and roughly told the current situation.

At present, in the Huainan Road, the Song Dynasty and Mongolia take Luzhou as the dividing line, the Song Dynasty soldiers are divided into three roads, the Yanggu Army, the Huai'an Army and the Zhennan Army occupy the three cities of Lu'an, Shucheng and Hanshan south of Luzhou respectively, and the Mongolian army is all concentrated in Luzhou, which just stuck the road for the Song Army to go north to recover the territory.

While speaking, everyone had already come to the county office in Lu'an, and when they heard that Yao Ruoyu and others were coming, Chu Madyi, Chu Madman, Chu Madzheng, Chu Dang, and Chu Zheng specially greeted them at the door, as for Chu Madge, as a powerhouse in the Eight Realms, he naturally would not go out to greet him.

Seeing Yao Ruoyu and the others, Chu Madyi couldn't help but smile and stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "His Royal Highness King Wen hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

In the past, Chu Crazy Art was very good to everyone in the Literature and Art Department, and Yao Ruoyu also smiled and hugged his fists in return: "General Chu called me Ruoyu." ”

"That's not good, if you let the old stubborn people in the Ministry of Rites hear it, you can't cry and say that we don't know etiquette," Chu Madyi shook his head again and again, and suddenly blinked again, "Of course, you can shout in private." ”

Yao Ruoyu smiled.

When the two were talking, Chu Zheng was poking his head out to look at everyone, as if he didn't see a certain figure, and couldn't help but bow his head in some frustration.

Song Kai, who caught a glimpse of his demeanor, sneered, and Cai Xudong was curious when he heard it: "Kaikai, what are you sneering at?"

"I know how to find a woman. Song Kai said disdainfully.

Cai Xudong, who had already heard about the incident between Song Kai, Chu Zheng, and Wu Xue, couldn't help but laugh dumbly, but because there were other people there, he could only hold his breath.

After laughing with Chu Maanyi, Yao Ruoyu met Chu Maomai and Chu Mad Zheng one by one, and then saw Chu Hao and Chu Zheng.

As early as before the birth of the Ministry of Literature and Art, except for a few people in Northwest China, such as Wanyan Emperor Yi and Wanyan Qiongyu, the five sons of the Chu family can be called the top geniuses, although Yao Ruoyu, Xu Xuanrong and others gradually lost their reputation after rising one by one, but it is undeniable that their talents are still beyond ordinary people.

In the battle to destroy Jin, Yao Ruoyu and others advanced by leaps and bounds because of repeated fierce battles, and similarly, the five sons of the Chu family also gained a lot.

After half a year, they have also stimulated the foundation accumulated during the fierce battle during the gold war, Chu Yuan and Chu Zheng are already the powerhouses of the Six Realms Triple, Chu Xuan has also been promoted to the Six Realms Dual, and Chu Hao and Chu Dian have stepped into the Six Realms with half a foot.

Of course, compared to Yao Ruoyu, who was already the triple of the Seven Realms, the cultivation of the fifth son of the Chu family naturally paled.

didn't see Yang Renjie, Chu Yuan was disappointed: "Why didn't Yang Dabeard come with him?"

Yao Ruoyu was naturally not stupid enough to say that he was sitting on Chongqing Fu Road, so he changed the topic and smiled: "The King of Chu is inside, right?"

"Well, my father is discussing with the generals about recovering Luzhou inside, please go in first. Chu Maiamo smiled faintly, raised his hand and led everyone into the door.

A group of people walked into the door of the house, passed through the lobby, and then passed through a screen door to the second hall.

Ertang was originally a place where the county magistrate handled official affairs on weekdays, and the place was not big or small, just enough to accommodate the Yanggu army.

After Yao Ruoyu and the others entered, they first saluted Chu Yange, and then came to the right-hand seat and sat down.

Originally, in the hall, in addition to Chu Madge, Chu Madyi and other members of the Chu family, there were Ma Wenrui, Chu Qizhi, Shi Min and other Yanggu Army generals, many of whom were old acquaintances with Yao Ruoyu, and they all greeted each other a little.

After everyone quieted down, Chu Yangge asked Yao Ruoyu about the people they had brought here, and when he heard that only the Black Dragon Army had arrived, many people's faces were a little ugly, but fortunately, just one Black Dragon Army was worthy of the combined combat strength of other town armies in Wenbang, so he didn't say anything.

On the road before, Chu Xuan had already introduced the current situation to Yao Ruoyu, so Yao Ruoyu didn't ask much, and the meeting quickly returned to the topic before everyone arrived.

"At present, there are about five of the Seven Realms in Luzhou, Meng Ge, Kublai Khan, Ali Buge, and Tutuha, plus a national master Ding Yanzhi who has mastered the Ancient Sword Formation," Chu Zheng's fingertips crossed the table and said solemnly, "In terms of the Seven Realms alone, our side does not have an advantage. ”

At present, the seven realms of the Song Dynasty in Huainan Road are only two people, Hou Xin Qiji of the Southern Expedition and Wang Yaoda of the Northern Expedition, and there is actually a Liu'an Hou Liu Dongliang, but when Mongolia went south, the Great Song Dynasty was caught off guard and had no time to defend, and as a result, Liu Dongliang was killed by Meng Ge and others.

Yao Ruoyu smiled and interjected: "Hmm, Longyang Hou should also be on the way here, but I don't know if I can participate in this battle in time." ”

"It is not known if they will be able to arrive, and they cannot be counted for the time being. Chu Crazy Mou shook his head and said.

Luo Rong, the battalion commander of the Ice Pattern Battalion, sighed and said: "It's a pity that only King Wen came, if the Sword Building Sect Master can also come, then four to five can barely maintain the situation." ”

Glancing at Luo Rong, who seemed to be sorry, Xu Xuanrong smiled indifferently: "The Sect Master of the First Battle Xi in Yuzhou was too seriously injured, so he is still recuperating in Yuzhou." ”

Luo Rong looked up in surprise: "Oh, I heard that when the army of your state attacked Chongqing Mansion, Sect Master Xi seems to have made a move?"

A cold light flashed under Yao Ruoyu's eyes, and he was about to speak, but Chu Madzheng had already frowned, and said unhappily: "Now I'm talking about the war in Luzhou, and I'll talk about idle things later." ”

In Chu Madge's generation, Chu Madge is noble for the Eight Realms, majestic and comfortable, Chu Madness and Chu Madart are also amiable on weekdays, but Chu Madge is iron-blooded and extremely ruthless in governing the army, so the majesty is second only to Chu Madge, as soon as he speaks, even the extremely old Luo Rong does not dare to provoke anything.

Yao Ruoyu said indifferently: "Don't worry about the Seven Realms, the Marquis of the Southern Expedition and the Marquis of the Northern Mirror only need to deal with one each, and the remaining three will be handed over to this king." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall for a moment, and Chu Yuan was surprised: "Yao Ruoyu, are you serious?"

Chu Mammoto frowned and said, "This battle is extremely important, His Royal Highness King Wen must not act rashly. ”

"It's not a matter of presumption," Yao Ruoyu shook his head and said with a smile, "Half a month ago, this king chased and killed the seriously injured Kublai Khan, and Meng Ge and Ding Yanzhi joined forces to stop me, and I could defeat them that day, and now I can naturally do it." ”

Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, Chu Hao grabbed his hair in annoyance, Chu Hao shook his head and sighed again and again, Chu Madyi laughed and said: "That's a good feeling, with King Wen here, we don't have to worry about the Seven Realms." ”

Although he was still skeptical of what Yao Ruoyu said, it was just that the Song Dynasty had no spare Seven Realms to help, so he could only temporarily accept Yao Ruoyu's opinion and let him fight the three Mongolian Seven Realms alone.

After that, it is a simple arrangement, after all, it is only the attack and defense of a city, and it is still this scale, the simple art of war can no longer be used, and it can only rely on the pure strong to fight to determine the victory.

After arranging various military affairs, Chu Madge chatted with Yao Ruoyu about the war on the southern front of the Song Dynasty.

As early as after the Jin Kingdom was destroyed and the Mongols went south, the Nanban also took the opportunity to send troops in Guichuan and Guangxi to attack Guangdong and Jinghu South Road respectively, and Yang Jihe and Wang Yuxiang, who had rushed back from Lanzhou, were leading the army to resist.

Although the Nanban has the smallest territory in the four kingdoms of China, their strength is not weak at all, especially the beast soldiers inherited from Da Liao, and they have extremely terrifying combat effectiveness, even if Yang Lingjun is in charge of King Yang, he does not dare to underestimate this group of beast soldiers who are in the company of fierce beasts.

While chatting, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, and then a young man in black armor walked in quickly.

Seeing the young man with bright red eyes, Yao Ruoyu, Cai Xudong, Song Kai, and Xu Xuanrong were all overjoyed.

"Ziqiang!"

"Brother Qiang!"

Seeing the four of them, Zhang Ziqiang, who had just returned from the battlefield, suddenly dissipated his evil spirit, and was replaced by indescribable joy, although there was a mask to cover it, but everyone could feel his joy from the heart.

"Brother Yao, Brother Cai, Kaikai, Meng Mengda!" After a quick greeting, Zhang Ziqiang said happily, "Why are you here?"

"Come and fight the Mongolian Tartars!" Xu Xuanrong said with a smile.

Zhang Ziqiang smiled happily, but he still came to the front of the hall first and bowed to Chu Yangge and the others.

"How is it?" Seeing Zhang Ziqiang, Chu Yangge rarely showed a little smile.

Zhang Ziqiang bowed his head and said: "Very good, it is estimated that in ten days, the last general will be able to advance to the Seventh Realm." ”

"Okay!" Chu Madge laughed when he heard this, and everyone in the Yanggu Army also smiled.

Chu Mad thought about it and said with a smile: "Then wait for another half a month, and wait for Ziqiang to be promoted to the Seventh Realm, maybe at that time, the Marquis of Longyang will also arrive, and we can attack Luzhou, and we will definitely decide the belonging of Huaibei in a battle!"
