Xiangyang City.

"Report to the prefect!"

"The enemy army in Fancheng is now moving more and more frequently!"

"I'm afraid I'm going to cross the river to attack our Xiangyang City!"

Xiangyang guard general Xu Zheng reported to the prefect Zhou Ding.

"They're going to hit it!"

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, we just need to be prepared, what is there to worry about?"

Zhou Ding seemed unimpressed.

"Before, Commander Zhang advised the prefect that you should not abandon Fancheng at will, but you didn't listen, but said that the thief army would withdraw sooner or later!"

"But now, it's been more than a month, and the thief army has never retreated, and it has moved frequently, as if it has the intention of crossing the river to attack the city!"

"You still don't care, what are you talking about soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth, do you really regard this Xiangyang City as an iron wall?"

Xu Zheng seemed to be in a hurry.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you still want to throw the responsibility for the loss of Fancheng to this official?"

"Fancheng is guarded by Zhang Dun, and this official is only moderation, and he is not responsible for the specific guarding of Fancheng!"

"Although the official withdrew to Xiangyang City on the same day, the official did not allow it Zhang Dun not to guard Fancheng!"

"So the responsibility for the loss of Fancheng lies with Zhang Dun, it was Zhang Dun who gave up Fancheng himself, you have to understand the reason!"

"I didn't play to the court, it's already good to play Zhang Dun's crime of losing Fancheng!"

"You know what?"

Zhou Ding suddenly began to shirk himself.

"The prefect... You... How can you shirk responsibility like that? ”

"If you hadn't evacuated all the soldiers and civilians in the city, how could Zhang Dun have given up Fancheng in desperation?"

"You actually say that Zhang Dun lost Fancheng now, this is too much, right?"

Xu Zheng immediately complained for Zhang Dun.

"Could it be that the responsibility for abandoning the city and land is not the main general, but it is my prefect to blame?"

"I know that Zhang Dun is your nephew, do you collude together and want to go against the prefect?"

Zhou Ding was a little displeased.

"Governor Zhou, as the prefect, you not only control our entire Xiangyang Mansion army, but also manage our logistics and reinforcements!"

"At the moment of the great enemy, you don't want to defend the city, but shirk the responsibility, you are simply ignoring the comfort of our entire Xiangyang Mansion!"

"So I hope that the prefect will abandon your negative war-weariness and immediately take the lead in organizing a defense and defending Xiangyang City!"

Xu Zheng persuaded him.

"Xiangyang City is already known as an impregnable wall, so why should you be afraid of the attack of the thief army?"

"You are here to confuse the public, you are really suspected of disturbing the morale of the army!"

"Someone!"

"Escort this Xu Zheng to this official, lock him up, and let him sober up and sober up!"

Zhou Ding couldn't bear it anymore.

"Amitabha!"

"Good, good!"

"Why should Governor Zhou be so angry?"

At that moment, suddenly there was a noise outside.

"Who are you?"

"Who is it?"

Zhou Ding immediately began to question.

"The poor monk is the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, His Majesty gave the national teacher Jinshan Temple to preside over Fahai!"

Just listen to this monk introduce himself.

"You... Are you a national teacher? ”

Zhou Ding looked surprised when he saw the monk in front of him.

"Yes!"

"The national division came to Xiangyang this time, and he came by His Majesty's secret edict!"

"Look at it!"

Then, Fahai took out an edict from his bosom.

"Xiangyang Prefect Zhou Ding, meet the national teacher!"

"Meet the new commander of the Middle Route Army, Fahai Dutong!"

After Zhou Ding got the edict, he immediately bent down and saluted Fahai.

It turned out that this was a letter of appointment from Emperor Zhao Gou to Fahai, in which Fahai was appointed to replace Shao Hongyuan's position, command the entire Jingnan Road, and be responsible for the defense of the entire Jingxiang and Jianghan lands.

"No need to be polite!"

"Let someone go and call back that Xu Tongzhi just now!"

Fahai commanded.

"Call it back?"

"That Xu Zheng is a person who has no respect for his elders, you can't believe it, the national teacher!"

Zhou Ding was a little reluctant.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you want to disobey the orders of your own division?"

Fahai's expression was very serious.

"The lower officials don't dare!"

"The lower officials don't dare...!"

Of course, Zhou Ding didn't dare to offend Fahai.

"Someone!"

"Someone...!"

"I still don't listen to the orders of the national teacher, bring Xu Tongzhi back, bring it back!"

Immediately after that, someone was called.

"That's right!"

"By the way, don't you still have a former Fancheng guard Zhang Dun?"

"Call it too!"

Fahai reminded again.

"Zhang Dun?"

"That Zhang Dun has committed the crime of abandoning the city, and now he has been demoted by the lower officials to supervise the manufacture of equipment, I'm afraid he won't be able to call back for a while!"

Zhou Ding seemed a little reluctant.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you want to disobey the orders of your own division?"

"The national teacher asked you to send someone to call Zhang Dun, didn't you hear?"

"If you don't call Zhang Dun, the national teacher can remove you from the position of prefect now!"

Fahai said, his tone was very tough.

Zhou Ding naturally didn't dare to offend Fahai, so he only ordered someone to find Zhang Dun.

It didn't take long for Xu Zheng and Zhang Dun to be brought in front of Fahai.

"Well... Good! ”

"The national division has long heard of the two loyal and courageous generals!"

"When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, extraordinary!"

After Fahai saw the two of them, he began to admire.

"Fancheng garrison Xu Zheng!"

"Xiangyang garrison Zhang Dun!"

"Meet the National Teacher!"

"Thank you for your appreciation!"

Both of them seemed to be beginning to appreciate Fahai at this moment.

"No need to be polite!"

"I know you may have had some misunderstandings with Governor Zhou before, but at the moment of the great enemy, you shouldn't fight like this!"

"Amitabha!"

Fahai said, and couldn't help but fold his hands.

"Okay!"

"From now on, what happened before you should be as if it never happened!"

"In the future, we must work together to fight the thief army together, and defending Xiangyang is the most important thing!"

"The Holy One has entrusted you with all the hope of resisting the thief army!"

"Amitabha!"

Of course, Fahai didn't want his subordinates to have infighting in the future.

"There is no festival between us and the Zhou Governor's Mansion, we are only unhappy because we don't understand that the Zhou Governor's Mansion rashly gave up Fancheng!"

Zhang Dun explained first.

"Governor Zhou's abandonment of Fancheng has already been heard by the national division!"

"Actually, it's not a big deal to give up Fancheng, after all, before, Governor Zhou didn't know what the strength of the Song army was!"

"If you rashly stick to Fancheng and cause unnecessary losses, Governor Zhou will not be able to explain to the imperial court!"

"Did you say yes?"

Of course, Fahai already knew the situation of everyone when he came.

"It's still a national teacher who is sensible!"

"It's reasonable!"

"The lower official really gave up Fancheng because he didn't want to cause unnecessary losses, but I didn't expect the two guards to understand this official!"

"This official is helpless!"

Zhou Ding took the opportunity to complain.

"Amitabha!"

"The prefect is dedicated to goodness, and for the safety of the people in the city, it is indeed worthy of praise!"

"And the two garrisons are also doing their best to guard Xiangyang and Fancheng, so you are all for the Great Song Dynasty and the safety of the people in the city!"

"Since they are all for the same goal, why bother here again?"

Fahai continued.

"It's still a national teacher who is sensible!"

"It's all my fault Zhang Dun's impulsiveness!"

"It's all my fault Xu Zheng's impulsiveness!"

"It was all our fault before!"

"We hereby apologize to Governor Zhou!"

After Xu Zheng and Zhang Dun listened to Fahai's words, they apologized to Zhou Ding together.

"It's not your fault!"

"I don't blame you!"

"It's the official...!"

"I just didn't explain it to you!"

Zhou Ding also apologized to the two of them with interest.

"Amitabha!"

"Good, good!"

After Fahai reconciled the three of them, he was also satisfied.
