Lin'an.

Sitting in the political hall, Jia Rudao stroked and sat down on the Taishi chair, his face was full of arrogance, thinking that he had mastered the whole country and climbed to the top of the ten thousand people expected by everyone.

It's just that when he thinks of the war in Xiangyang, Jia Yidao feels a headache, if the battle in Xiangyang is lost, he will definitely give those ministers a siege, and then he will become worse.

He raised his head and looked at the person sitting down, and immediately asked, "Zhao Chonglong, what are you looking for me?"

"Prime Minister Qi. ”

One step forward, Zhao Chonglong said: "The minister came here today because according to the minister's understanding, Lu Wende seems to have been in contact with the Yuan army and the Huaxia army in recent days, and he has come to report to the prime minister. ”

"Lu Wende, how could he have any contact with the Yuan Army and the Huaxia Army? Do you have any evidence on this matter?"

Jia Yidao was slightly surprised, and his eyes couldn't help but be worried.

This Lu Wende can have today, it is all supported by Jia Yidao, if Lu Wende does this kind of thing, as his recommender, it will be difficult for him to get out.

The corners of Zhao Chonglong's mouth curled slightly, and he hurriedly handed over the evidence that had been prepared a long time ago, and said, "Of course." The evidence of the connection between Na Lu Wende and the Yuan army and the Huaxia army is all here, and I invite you to take a look. ”

These evidences are all information obtained by Huang Zhen and Liu Kezhuang through Li Zhenzhi's hands, which naturally includes the evidence of the meeting between Lu Wende and the envoys of the Yuan army, as well as the letters exchanged between Lu Shikui and the Huaxia army, all of which were stolen and sent to Lin'an overnight.

Now that he got these evidences, Zhao Chonglong could not hide his joy and started the next step.

Seeing that there were so many letters, Jia Rudao was also shocked in his heart, he looked at them one by one, and after a long time, he slapped the table and shouted: "This Lu Wende is really bold, how can he do this kind of thing behind my back?" Thinking about what might happen later, his forehead continued to sweat: "No, if he is allowed to continue like this, then I have to do it, and I must stop all this." ”

"Prime Minister. Don't forget, Lu Wende is the envoy of the Jinghu system, and he has always been in charge of the defense of the front line of the Jinghu Lake, and has served as the general consul of Huguang, the envoy of the management of agriculture and farmland, and the concurrently serving as the envoy of Sichuan. If you act rashly, you are afraid that you will invite trouble. If he followed the example of An Lushan in the Tang Dynasty, it would be bad. Zhao Chonglong's eyes were full of joy and continued to ask.

Jia Rudao looked slightly stunned, and then calmed down: "Indeed." If you want to take down Lu Wende, it is indeed a little difficult. Perhaps, we should start with his physical condition first, at least let him do it first, and only then can we start the next step. ”

Judging from this point of view alone, Jia Rudao is a little anxious, and understands that he can't be too anxious to deal with Lu Wende's matter, otherwise it will be troublesome to implicate himself.

Thinking of this, Jia Rudao even let people start to draw up the holy decree, planning to let Lu Wende do it first, and he had his own decision as for the subsequent actions.

........................

Xiangyang.

"You mean the Mongols have a truce?"

Lu Wende was surprised, and there was confusion between his eyebrows, as if he had heard something strange.

Lu Wenhuan replied: "That's right. It is really curious that I have not found any Yuan soldiers in these days. After all, in the past, these Yuan troops would basically come once a day, which was really annoying. ”

In order to weaken the strength of the defenders of Xiangyang, the Yuan army divided its army into dozens of squads, which took turns to attack Xiangyang, day and night.

Therefore, Lu Wenhuan had to go into battle in person, and it was easy to beat these guys back and keep Xiangyang's safety. Now that the Yuan army has suspended its attack, it is for him to breathe and free up more energy to reinvigorate the army.

"Oh? That's a blessing. ”

Lu Wende felt a little relieved, because of the curse, he couldn't exert all his strength, for fear that the Yuan army would really attack.

Now that your other party has stopped, Lu Wende is naturally happy.

Lu Wenhuan said: "Although this is the case, but brother." Don't you think it's a bit weird?"

"What's so weird?" asked Chen Wenbin from the side, as a strategist, of course he was also invited here.

Lu Wenhuan explained: "It's not the first time we've dealt with each other, we should know that this Yuan army has always been ferocious, and if it wasn't completely defeated, it wouldn't have given up the attack so easily." However, now, the main force of the other side is still there, and now that is the time to stop, isn't that alone enough to make people suspicious?"

When Lu Wende heard this, he naturally frowned, obviously quite confused about this.

"That's true. But maybe it's because of the Huaxia Army?"

Chen Wenbin complained: "Don't forget, just a few days ago, the Yuan army fought a battle with the Huaxia army. It's a pity that although the Yuan army is strong, it is difficult to resist the might of the navy, and it can be said that there are countless casualties. I almost lost Anyang!"

In order to completely block the waterway of the Huaxia army to Xiangyang, Ah Shu personally led 30,000 soldiers to attack Laohekou Town, trying to build a fortress near it, so as to completely block the river, making it difficult for the Junzhou Navy to play an effective role.

In response to this, Yan Shen and Zheng Yuanlong were also fully prepared, not only built dozens of fortresses on the bank of the river to form a defense line, but also completely defeated Na Ashu with the help of the power of the Junzhou naval army, so that he had to flee in embarrassment and had to give up his previous plan to control the Danjiang.

"Maybe that's the case?"

Lu Wenhuan thought about it for a while, and felt that it should be this reason.

He also participated in the battle of Laohekou, because he saw the strength of the Huaxia army and was afraid that the other party would threaten Xiangyang along the river, so Lu Wenhuan also ordered his men to build fortresses in Wujiagang, Hongshiyan, Zhujiaying and other places, and blockade the river with artillery.

In this case, the Huaxia army really called, and they could also rely on these fortresses to temporarily block the attack of the Huaxia army and ensure the safety of Xiangyang.

Worries about Huaxia Jun have always been haunting in the hearts of the Lu brothers.

Lu Wende said thoughtfully: "So the reason why Ah Shu stopped the war was to wait for reinforcements?"

"That's how it should be. Chen Wenbin replied.

"If that's the case, then at least a few years later. Lu Wende felt a little relieved, and looked at Lu Wenhuan again.

His eyes were full of expectation, but Lu Wenhuan felt a little nervous, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"You should know about the curse. A little struggle appeared on Lu Wende's face, and after a long time, he made up his mind, and then said: "So after this battle is understood, I am ready to give a minister." As for the affairs of Xiangyang Mansion, I'm afraid that I will have to hand it over to you to be responsible. ”

"What? Brother, why are you suddenly going to be a leader? Don't forget, that Ah Shu is still eyeing Anyang, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would be difficult to fight alone." Lu Wenhuan was taken aback and hurriedly shouted.

Lu Wende smiled helplessly, took out a scroll of holy decrees from his arms, and complained: "I want to too, but the holy decrees of Lin'an have already come, how can you let me refuse." There was a bit of compassion in his eyes, and he said: "And you have also seen that I am now cursed in my body, and it can be said that my life is short." Rather than sit back and wait, it is better to abdicate at this time, and it would be a blessing if someone could be found to lift the curse. Isn't it?"

"Okay. I understand. ”

Lu Wenhuan saw that his brother was determined, so he had no choice but to respond.

Lu Wende comforted: "Of course." Even if I do, I will never give up on you. If you encounter any danger, you can write to me, and I will help you. You know, no matter what, we're all brothers. Isn't it?"

"Thank you. ”

Seeing that his brother was about to leave, Lu Wenhuan was also impatient, so he could only bow down and express his gratitude.
