Lu Wenhuan had never noticed Chen Wenbin's traces, and he was busy commanding the soldiers at the moment, so he really couldn't spare time.

In this way, with the joint efforts of the two armies inside and outside the city, by the time the sun set and dusk, the Yuan army that had almost entered the city before was finally driven out, and the defenders of Xiangyang, who had been covered by the shadow of death, were finally able to take a breath.

Even so, they couldn't help but look a little sad when they looked at the corpses all over the ground, as well as the Danjiang River, which had turned red because of too much blood.

"If it had been earlier, how could these people have died here?"

Thinking of all this, Lu Wenhuan suddenly insisted that his previous insistence was too ridiculous, is it really worth sacrificing so many people for the sake of the so-called righteousness of the monarch and ministers?

At this moment, he couldn't figure it out!

Looking at the person who came, Lu Wenhuan was a little sad and asked, "You took refuge in the Huaxia Army?"

"That's right. ”

Gundam generously admitted: "Just after you left, the Tartar reinforcements came, and they could have resisted." Who would have thought that Fan Wenhu escaped from the battle, and actually fled back to Lin'an with the navy? Under the lonely palm, I can't hold on, if it weren't for the Huaxia army to rescue, I'm afraid that now I will also bury my body in the wilderness. ”

Since he was rescued by Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui, he began to gather the rout, and he also learned the reason from the mouths of those routs, and knew better who caused all this.

Grief and indignation, Gundam knew that he had no way out, so he joined the Huaxia Army quite simply, and now he personally went into battle to relieve the siege of Xiangyang.

"So that's the case?" Lu Wenhuan sighed.

Gundam closed his head and replied, looking at Lu Wenhuan with expectant eyes, and said, "That's right. What about you?"

"You mean, you want me to join the Huaxia Army like you? Don't forget, I'm an officer of the Song Dynasty! If I betray Lin'an and join the Huaxia Army, I'm afraid that I will summon the contempt of the ministers of the DPRK and China. The corners of Lu Wenhuan's mouth twitched, and there was still a little struggle in his heart.

Gao Gao laughed and said, "Betraying Lin'an? Do you really think so? And you have also seen it now, that Lin'an ministers are so stupid and incompetent, and they actually let Fan Wenhu be on the throne?

"That's just as well. ”

Lu Wenhuan was a little surprised, in the past, he didn't have no complaints about Lin'an, but he didn't directly confess his inner thoughts, and now after listening to Gundam's story, he also agrees.

Gao Gao said: "In this case, then why don't we change the lintel again? What's more, although the King of Jin is a woman, he has the talent to pass through the heavens and latitudes, and he even builds trains and railways in this pass, opening up an unprecedented situation." If we continue to be confined to our previous ideas and become enemies of her, wouldn't we be using our mantis arms as a chariot? You should also understand that the Eastern Group Army could have easily taken Xiangyang, but if it weren't for the fact that we and others were trapped by the so-called monarchs and ministers, how could it have dragged on to this day? Let so many soldiers be tormented by the flames of war?"

Gundam's words also made Lu Wenhuan moved, and as far as the current situation is concerned, if you want to encircle Xiangyang, there is only the Huaxia Army.

Lu Wenhuan knew that he had no choice, so he had to respond: "What you said also makes some sense. ”

In the past, in order to resist the Tartars, the Black Carbon Army sacrificed too much.

"In that case, then what do you insist on? It is better to join me under the command of the Huaxia Army, and no longer be insulted by the ministers of Lin'an. Gundam opened his mouth to persuade.

Faced with Gundam's eager eyes, Lu Wenhuan could only close his head and reply: "Of course. It's just that if I join the Huaxia Army, I don't know what will happen to my brothers?" The Huaxia Army is quite different from the Song Army and the Yuan Army, all the command power is under the command of the General Staff, even the generals cannot be easily transferred, and there is also a considerable difference in the rewards and punishments of soldiers.

Lu Wenhuan was really afraid that the soldiers who had followed him for many years would be damaged by this.

"Haha!"

With a burst of clear laughter, Zheng Yuanlong didn't come out, came to the front of everyone, and said: "Regarding the matter of you, we have been prepared for a long time, you don't need to worry. ”

Lu Wenhuan was a little surprised, and hurriedly leaned over and bowed: "It turned out to be Chief of Staff Zheng?

He raised his body a little and looked at Zheng Yuanlong with expectant eyes: "It's just about the people in the city and the soldiers under my command, I don't know what Chief of Staff Zheng plans to do?"

After all, the Huaxia Army is a political regime, and it will never let an army like the Black Carbon Army get out of control, and it is common to divide, disintegrate, and split, and important departments such as logistics and supply departments, army commanders, etc., will also be transferred, which is also certain.

Now Lu Wenhuan wants to know what to do with the soldiers in his hands.

"You and I are people of the same generation, so you don't need to be polite. ”

Zheng Yuanlong waved his hand to silence Lu Wenhuan, and he looked at the Song soldiers standing in the distance, who looked worried and obviously worried about their fate next.

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Yuanlong replied slowly: "Regarding your black carbon army, of course, it can't be maintained, and you have to change your name." That's why I plan to integrate the soldiers under your command and the soldiers under Gundam and the people led by Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui to form the Eighteenth Army!"

"Sure enough!"

Lu Wenhuan's face was gloomy, revealing a touch of loss.

This black charcoal army was brought out by him and Lu Wende, and the efforts of decades have made them have a lot of feelings for this army.

Watching the Black Carbon Army be dismantled like this, Lu Wenhuan would of course be a little unhappy.

"Of course, because it has just been formed, we don't have a suitable candidate. Why don't you just let you and Gundam serve as the commander of the 18th Army?"

Zheng Yuanlong saw it in his eyes, and told the two of them the decision that had already been made.

Lu Wenhuan was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Really?"

Before, he thought that he would be directly deprived of military power, and he could only be taken to Chang'an for retirement like his brother.

Gundam also asked, "Let the two of us be commanders, aren't you afraid that the two of us will defect in battle!"

"Haha. There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people. This is a decision made by my lord a long time ago, otherwise how could I tell the two of you so sure?" Zheng Yuanlong replied quite confidently, and finally remembered some things, and instructed: "Of course, you also know that the military governance of our army is based on the staff department, so I plan to let Zhang Gui and Zhang Shun serve as staff officers, I wonder if the two of them are willing?"

"It's nature!"

Gao Gao and Lu Wenhuan didn't dare to refuse, so they bowed down and replied: "King Yaliang of Jin, I have never blamed the two of us for what happened in the past, it is really a generation of heroes, we are impressed." ”

"Haha. There is no need for the two of you to be so humble, you must know that from now on you and I will be colleagues, and you can call me comrade in the future, there is no need to be so restrained, understand?" Zheng Yuanlong's face was full of joy.

Now that he occupies Xiangyang, he has brought Lu Wenhuan, Gao Gao and the army of more than 10,000 people under the command of the two of them under his command.

And the next thing is to enter the Yangtze River and bring the entire Song Dynasty under his command, and when the time comes, the expulsion of Tatars and the revival of China will no longer be a dream, but a real existence that can be touched.
