Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that Huang Yaoshi was really forcing Guo Jing to make a decision. Even though he was determined, in the face of his father-in-law's words, Guo Jing couldn't help but hesitate a little, and said: "Father-in-law, this ......" but I don't know where to start.

At this moment, a voice came from outside: "Okay! I have long seen that you people are plotting against me, but I didn't expect to persecute Guo Daxia so much." Guo Daxia rest assured, as long as Lu is in Xiangyang for a day, the military affairs in Xiangyang City will be in charge of you. The Northern Expedition, Lu Mou and his eldest brother will also report to the imperial court, and you will be the vanguard of this battle!" But it was Lu Wenhuan who was swept away at the banquet and was seen by his subordinates, who informed him of the news of the gathering of martial arts masters, so he rushed over. Although he didn't hear the words before, Lu Wenhuan was clear about the meaning of Huang Yaoshi's words, and immediately appeared to stabilize Guo Jing.

Fang Zhixing, Huang Yaoshi and others had already heard Lu Wenhuan's footsteps, but they didn't care. If it is in the Lu Mansion, it may take some effort to capture Lu Wenhuan, but in the Guo Mansion, it is easy to catch him, as long as he is determined, it can be said that he can be captured, and the most important thing now is what Guo Jing thinks.

"Guo Daxia, the success or failure of the Northern Expedition depends on your decision!" Fang Zhixing said lightly, as if he had not heard of Lu Wenhuan's words.

"This ......" Guo Jing glanced at everyone's ∵, seeing that Fang Zhixing, Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, Lu Wenhuan and others were all looking at him, even Huang Rong and Zhu Ziliu, who usually gave advice, and they were extremely embarrassed. He knew that if he refused Fang Zhixing and Huang Yaoshi's proposal, he was afraid that the two would leave on the spot, and if they captured Lu Wenhuan according to their ideas. Whether the future will be good or bad is extremely difficult to predict. It's hard to make a decision.

"Jing'er, what do you think in your heart. Then how to do it, don't worry about my thoughts. Hong Qigong said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Guo Jing looked at the determined gaze in his master's eyes, and his heart suddenly moved, and he had already made a decision. After settling down and about to speak, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, and a person shouted: "Report! Shandong Li Pu has invaded, and the imperial court has ordered Xiangyang to send troops to rescue." He also invited the marshal to return to his home to preside over military affairs. ”

"Li Pu is attacking, what's going on over there in Jianghuai?" Guo Jing heard this, and he didn't care about telling everyone about the Northern Expedition, so he hurriedly asked.

The soldier said: "Back to Guo Daxia, Li Pu has captured Haizhou and other four cities, and the court ordered me to wait for all the troops to be dispatched!"

"Jianghuai has something, Lin'an is not stable, Guo Daxia, please go to the mansion to talk about it, and we will discuss how to send troops!" Lu Wenhuan heard. Hurriedly said to Guo Jing.

Hearing this, Guo Jing confessed his guilt to everyone and left with Lu Wenhuan. When Fang Zhixing and the others saw this, they all looked at each other. Don’t know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon. Just now, everyone was still thinking about sending troops to the Northern Expedition, but they didn't expect that now there would be news that Li Pu had invaded Jianghuai, and the contrast was so great. Many people can't turn the corner.

"Kublai Khan is really a great enemy!" Fang Zhixing suddenly sighed.

Zhu Ziliu said: "Senior Brother Fang is saying that this news was deliberately transmitted by Kublai Khan's side? But it came after the victory in Xiangyang City, which really made people feel too coincidental.

"Yes, it's not that the imperial court doesn't know about the Xiangyang War, how can it still send people to transfer troops?" Huang Rong also said.

"So it is said that Kublai Khan is very talented, presumably when this person sent troops to Xiangyang, he had already thought that it might not be smooth, so he ordered Li Pu to attack the Jianghuai defense line. And in the imperial court, there must be people who were bought by him, so he will give such an order and deliver it at this time. If the old man expected it was not bad, there would definitely be someone in Sichuan, and maybe the people of Xiangyang would be transferred. This person's scheming is really unfathomable!" Huang Yaoshi sighed. He thought he was extremely clever, but when it came to such conspiracy, he was far from Kublai Khan, and he sighed in his heart.

"In this way, this news is mostly exaggerated, so should I ignore it and go on the Northern Expedition?" Yang Guo asked.

Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "It may be an exaggeration now, but if you ignore it, it may be the truth." The descendants of the loyal and righteous army were much stronger than those in Jianghuai, and if Kublai Khan transferred Mongolian soldiers and horses to support, I am afraid that it would be possible to break through the Jianghuai defense line. Alas! Li Quan really raised a good son!" "Li Quan raised an army against Jin in Shandong, and later defected to Mongolia, and was finally killed by the Song army, and then his son Li Pu continued to divide Shandong, and when it came to strength, it was much stronger than the loyal and righteous army of that year, and Fang Zhixing had heard a lot about it.

"The country is weak and the soldiers are tired, the Yangtze River defense line is full of loopholes, and although the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang are slightly stronger, they can only make up for the leaks everywhere!" Hong Qigong also sighed.

"In this case, the matter of the Northern Expedition can only be stopped here? Before the transfer of troops, there will be another big battle with the Mongol army outside the city, if you can destroy tens of thousands of troops, the remaining soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City may be enough for the Northern Expedition. Shen Qingchen said.

Hearing this, many people were a little moved, but Zhu Ziliu reminded: "Kublai Khan has a lot of means, and he knows Sinology very well, and Meng Ge's death will also be used by him." If my expectations are not bad, tomorrow the Mongolian soldiers and horses will definitely be the whole army, and the army will also become mourning soldiers, this breath will not disperse, Xiangyang soldiers and horses are the Northern Expedition, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take advantage. ”

"Then the Great Khan of Mongolia was just hit by Guo'er with a flying stone and fell from his horse, so he may not die, right?" Hong Qi said fairly. He knows the power of his fingers. However, at that time, Yang Guo was so far away, and Meng Ge was reminded by the Golden Wheel Dharma King that he couldn't decide whether Zhongshi was really killed.

After Meng Ge fell off his horse, he was robbed by Mongolian soldiers and horses, and everyone did not know whether he was really killed. However, Fang Zhixing said: "Whether Meng Ge will be killed by Guo'er Feishi, with Kublai Khan here, he will definitely not survive tomorrow, there is no doubt at this time." ”

Hearing this, everyone thought of Kublai Khan's methods, and they all shuddered. Before the war, this person had calculated the land of Jianghuai thousands of miles away, and he also led his soldiers and horses to press the formation behind, but he was afraid of today's events, maybe as early as he expected, this person's scheming should really be called terrifying.

"In the past few days of the war, the loss of Xiangyang City is not small, and the Northern Expedition will be talked about later!" Huang Rong said.

When everyone heard this, they were silent, and Jianghuai had something to do, which made everyone deeply understand the gap between their side and Mongolia. Now it seems that it is not only difficult to go on the Northern Expedition, but also to hold the Yangtze River defense line, which is also a difficult thing.

"In any case, the Northern Expedition is imperative. At that time, Shu was far inferior to Wei, but Wuhou went out of Qishan six times, not to win, but to exhaust Wei. Within a few months, Kublai Khan would return north, and it would be time for the Northern Expedition. Fang Zhixing said. (To be continued......)
