Chapter 172: The Disappearing Dragon Chair
"Chongguo Gong! This place is the palace of diligent government, but not your mansion, don't make noise again. Got it?"
Jia Rudao's voice came, which made Lu Wende nervous.
Lu Wende raised his head, looked at Jia Ru with an unfamiliar look, and said, "Shixian! Didn't I tell you before? Have you forgotten about this?"
"What are you talking about?" Jia Rudao's brows furrowed, and the coldness in his eyes made Lu Wende shudder.
Lu Wende's face was annoyed, and he shouted: "Have you forgotten? I have written to you before, and the reason why the early dynasty was held was not to discuss how to relieve the danger of Xiangyang?
"Oh, that's what you're talking about. ”
Jia Rudao chuckled, his face was still indifferent, as if what Lu Wende said was not a big deal.
Lu Wende nodded, his eyes still looking at the other party: "That's right." If reinforcements were not sent, it would be impossible to break the encirclement and suppression of the Yuan army. Therefore, Shi Xian, can we send reinforcements now to break the encirclement and suppression of the Yuan army? Otherwise, Xiangyang will really be finished. When it came to the back, Lu Wende's attitude was close to pleading.
As the head of the clan, he couldn't bear to see his people die in the war like this.
Jia Rudao's eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he was thinking.
"Hmph. What are you talking about the danger of Xiangyang, but do you know the situation of our dynasty now?" Liu Mengyan couldn't bear it, and he sneered directly at Lu Wende with his mouth: "It is said that it is to relieve the danger of Xiangyang, but it is only possible if our dynasty still has troops." ”
Lu Wende's expression was abrupt, although he was annoyed that the other party was provoking, but now it was the Qinzheng Palace, and he was not easy to attack: "What's the matter?"
"What else could it be? Isn't it just that the Yuan army is going south. Don't forget, in addition to Xiangyang, currently in the Huaihai area, Ali Buge and Boyan also led the army south. If it weren't for Li Tingzhi's generals to confront, I'm afraid that this Lin'an would have fallen long ago. Liu Mengyan was merciless, and there seemed to be an accusation in his words that Lu Wende disregarded the imperial city.
"That's right. Do you think that there is danger in Xiangyang?"
"That Huaihai is adjacent to Lin'an, if it falls, can this Lin'an be safe?"
"Guarding the river must guard the Huai, isn't this truth clear?"
“......”
When the ministers heard this, their eyes were also full of disdain when they looked at Lu Wende.
In the past, in order to seek power and wealth, Lu Wende did not use this method of exaggerating the enemy to solicit credit for himself, but now the Xiangyang crisis is naturally regarded by them as a similar thing.
Lu Wende hesitated, and he tried to explain: "But if Xiangyang falls into the hands of the Yuan army, then the Yangtze River will be completely dangerous." If the Yangtze River naval army completely collapses, how can we resist the Yuan army? At that time, the Yuan army will be able to rely on the Yangtze River and expand its influence into the territory of our dynasty. Do you know that?"
"Hmph. Who doesn't know, the Yuan army is not good at water warfare, how can it confront our Korean navy?" Liu Mengyan disdained and directly denied it.
If only in terms of scale, the Song Dynasty naval army at this moment is indeed the strongest in China, even if the Chinese army has the upper hand by relying on technology, but because of scale and other reasons, it still cannot compete with the Song Dynasty naval army.
There is no way, there is a lack of a big river such as the Yangtze River in the Guannai, even if you want to build a new navy, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
The only naval army was established by the construction of the Danjiangkou Dam, and it also relied on the Junzhou naval army, which numbered 3,000 people, that the Huaxia army would not be without a naval army.
"But ......"
Lu Wende was speechless for a while, and immediately wanted to justify.
Liu Mengyan directly blocked his words and scolded: "But what? Do you want to say that the Yuan army can also build a water army? But just with those northern barbarians, how do they know how to build a water army? Even if they do, they will only be defeated by us." In his words, he was full of ridicule for Yuan Jun.
The rest of the ministers also shouted.
"That's right. I have the Yangtze River, how can those northern barbarians cross it?"
"Even if they come, they will only be defeated, where is there any need for such caution?"
"And that Xiangyang has not been lost. Didn't something happen to you?"
“......”
"You——, you—"
Lu Wende's face turned red, and his heart was full of evil fire, but he couldn't say anything, he could only stay here and watch Liu Mengyan make a big deal here, even those ministers also followed.
Such an ignorant and fearless appearance really shocked Lu Wende, and it was such a group of civil servants who did not know soldiers and generals who decided the outcome of the front-line war.
Faced with such a situation, Lu Wende was completely speechless, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only stand quietly to the side.
"Chongguo Gong. ”
At this time, Jia Yidao finally spoke.
He complained to Lu Wende: "I thought about it carefully, in fact, what you said is not unreasonable. ”
"Huh?" Lu Wende's eyes turned, and his scrutinizing eyes wanted to find out Jia Rudao's inner thoughts: "Why did the prime minister make such remarks?" The words were much more respectful, and of course they seemed a lot more angry.
In the past, Lu Wende always called Jia Rudao directly.
Jia Rudao pondered, and then complained: "So I plan to send Gundam and let him lead 20,000 sailors to help." ”
"Gundam, why him?"
Lu Wende's eyebrows were furrowed, in the past, in order to compete for the dominance of the Northern Expedition, he had a lot of conflicts with Gundam.
Jia Rudao said helplessly: "I want to use someone else!" But then Chen Wenlong, Li Tingzhi, Jiang Wanli and others need to deal with Ali Buge and Boyan, and they really can't pull it out, so they have no choice but to let Gundam give it a try. Of course, I also know that you and Gundam have had a conflict. But Gundam is an open-minded man, and I don't think he'll sit idly by. ”
"This. Is it really possible?"
Lu Wende was secretly worried that with his previous relationship with Gundam, he really didn't believe that Gundam would really help him.
Seeing that Lu Wende still refused, Jia Yidao persuaded again: "If you don't even feel at ease at all, then how about I let Fan Wenhu go with him? He is your son-in-law." Don't you even believe in your own son-in-law?"
"Fan Wenhu?"
Lu Wende licked his dry lips, he knew everything about Fan Wenhu's ability, if it weren't for his own power, he wouldn't be able to achieve today's status at all.
But right now, apart from Fan Wenhu, there is no one else he can trust.
"So be it. ”
After thinking about it and not finding a solution, Lu Wende had no choice but to respond.
Jia Rudao laughed and complained: "Since you agreed, then do it." I'll arrange the rest myself, so you can go back and rest first. ”
"Okay. ”
Lu Wende responded, seeing that it was not too early, he could only leave from the Qinzheng Palace, and before leaving, he looked at the dragon chair, as if he was expecting something.
Since the beginning of the early dynasty, the dragon chair has always been empty, and there is nothing.
