"Is Zhao Xuan the crown prince? But with that old thief Wu Qian, I'm afraid it's not easy!" Liumengyan's face was sad.

Although Wu Qian is old, he is better than having deep qualifications, and he has been an official for decades, and his protégés are also all over the government and the opposition, which can be said to be deep-rooted.

It will not be easy to bring this person down.

Jia Rudao replied: "Of course I know. Otherwise, why would I let you go to see Quan Wei?" Speaking of this, Jia Rudao looked over again with puzzled eyes and asked, "By the way, did they agree?"

"This. They didn't say yes!" Liu Mengyan showed a little annoyance.

"Didn't you agree? What are you doing, don't you know the other party's threat to us?" Jia Rudao was furious, ignoring that the other party was a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and opened his mouth to shout: "You actually gave up directly? What should they do if they throw themselves into Wu Qian's sect and are determined to kill us?"

"But. The woman seemed to be paying attention, and she didn't agree at all. ”

Liumengyan's eyes dodged, with a little unconfidence.

At this time, he remembered the original scene, that Quan Wei was just a petty official, and he seemed to be full of fear of himself, and he was only afraid that he was forced too tightly, which caused the other party's disgust.

Jia Rudao shouted: "This method doesn't work, so let's change the method." If she doesn't agree, let her parents agree, and if her parents don't, then let her relatives and friends, as well as her neighbors, persuade together. I don't believe that her whole clan is really full of loyalty? All of them are good men who can scrape bones and cut poison?"

"I see. Liumengyan replied, already paying attention in his heart.

This time, it will definitely be done.

Jia Rudao was still a little worried, and complained again: "It's just that Xia Gui has retreated." The Northern Expedition is categorically unable to continue, and it seems that we must find a way to stop it, otherwise I may still be in danger if the army loses too much. ”

His thoughts were chaotic, but he planned to write to Lu Wende, telling him not to continue to be obsessed with the Northern Expedition, and to preserve the vitality of the army.

At the moment, everything should be stable, and nothing else should happen.

Xuzhou, in the General's Mansion.

"Is Linyi occupied?"

Hearing the news from the herald in front of him, Lu Wende showed a little sadness, and asked again: "What about Xia Gui?"

The herald shook his head and said helplessly: "The road to Mizhou has been cut off by the Mongols, so we have no way of knowing from the other party. ”

"In this way, if the other party does not plan to retreat, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. Lu Wende complained.

Lu Wenxin asked, "Then I don't know what my brother plans to do?"

Since Gouda was dismissed for looting food, Lu Wende has arranged for his relatives and friends in the army, such as his younger brothers Lu Wenxin and Lu Wenfu, as well as his son-in-law Fan Wenhu, and several of his sons have also been arranged in the army.

This army, which was built by the imperial court at great expense, became Lu Wende's private army!

"Just stay put. After all, our strength is also insufficient, and if we rush forward, we are not the opponent of the other party. Lu Wende complained.

"What about Zhang Shijie? You know, he is fighting on the front line, if we retreat, then he is only afraid that he will be alone, if he is attacked by the enemy, he is afraid that it will be trouble. Lu Wenxin continued to ask.

"Zhang Shijie?"

Lu Wende showed a little hostility, and then said: "That guy's talent is not under me, he should be able to take measures, so that he can't even deal with a Boyan." ”

This Northern Expedition, although Lu Wende's army was the main force, Xia Gui was the vanguard officer, and Zhang Shijie was the flank, responsible for assistance.

But since Lu Wende occupied Xuzhou, he has always stood still, and Na Xia Gui has always relied on his own sufficient backup to conquer the city in Shandong, and of course has always avoided Zhang Hongfan's army.

Only Zhang Shijie went all the way, and even directly hit Jeju, forcing Boyan to mobilize a large number of troops to gather and plant in Dongping Province, so as to block it, so as not to unite with the Chifeng Army rebel army and then seize the entire Central Plains.

Of course, now without Lu Wende's support, I am afraid that Zhang Shijie will be unable to continue.

Lu Wenfu also sneered and replied, "Wenxin." Don't you forget, how did Zhang Shijie reprimand us? If he wants to be a loyal and righteous man, let him be a loyal man, and we didn't stop him anyway. Isn't it?"

"Okay. Maybe so. ”

Lu Wenxin saw that his two brothers had nothing to worry about, so he had to accept his thoughts.

At present, the Mongols are counterattacking, and they can only keep their current territory by holding Xuzhou, and the others can only be put aside for the time being.

Cheju.

Sitting in the general's mansion, Zhang Shijie still looked so sad.

"General. According to the information we have received, Lu Wende has cut off the support for me at present. The herald who came to him delivered the message.

Hearing the news, Zhang Shijie secretly said sure enough, and then asked, "How much food is there in the army?"

"Relying on food in the city alone can only support less than a month. If there is no food for a month, then we are afraid that we may be wiped out. Zhou Xing, who was following him, complained.

"Can it last less than a month?"

Zhang Shijie bit his lip to cheer himself up, and said: "Since this is the case, then quickly send a message and let Lu Wende quickly mobilize food." If there is no more food—" After a pause, he glanced at the soldier next to him with expectant eyes, and then said, "We really can't hold it anymore." ”

"I see. ”

Naturally, the herald did not slack off, and immediately rushed to Xuzhou with the news.

At this moment, outside the city gate, a low trumpet suddenly sounded.

Hearing this familiar voice, everyone was stunned for a moment: "Is it Mongolia? It seems that the other party is attacking again?"

Jeju was the frontline and the first line of the Mongol army, and since Naboyan moved to Dongpyeongfu, he continued to send his troops and began to consume the strength of the defenders in the city.

Fortunately, Zhang Hongfan has great strength, but he survived hard.

As a result, the two armies also stalemate here.

Just as he was thinking, a sharp sword suddenly appeared in the distance, shooting directly towards the city.

Zhang Shijie caught a glimpse, his voice suddenly raised, and he laughed loudly: "What a Tartar, do you think that you can take this city from me by such means?" With a flick of his hand, dozens of broken blades around him swirled in the air, only to condense in an instant, and slashed towards the sword.

With a "bang", the sword shattered in response, revealing the Boyan inside.

Seeing the other party appear, these broken blades also swept over, wanting to completely kill Boyan here.

However, with a flash of white light, these broken blades crashed into a heavy invisible wall one after another, and it was not the body that distorted, losing the strong impact it had before, and losing its previous momentum.

Standing in the air, Bo Yan squinted slightly at the people underground, and said with a smile: "General Zhang is really good." It's a pity that with your ability, you can only huddle in this Jeju, isn't it a pity. Why don't you join our army and have a glory and wealth?"

"Humph!"

Zhang Shijie snorted lightly, and then smiled: "What kind of goods you are, I already knew more than 20 years ago, otherwise how can I deviate from you? If you think that you can persuade me by such means, isn't it too underestimating me?"

In the sky, those broken knives seemed to have senses, and countless silver points of light flashed from them, looking at them like fireflies, and they were in Zhang Shijie's hands in an instant.

"If you want to persuade me, ask me about the Heavenly Sword in my hand first. ”

Zhang Shijie waved violently, and the brilliance in his hand dissipated, revealing a slender straight knife, the back of the knife was slender and straight, and the blade also carried a sinister aura, which was obviously not an ordinary weapon.

This is the result of the sword heart he has condensed since he broke through the Earth Immortal.

asked with a knife, cutting a way of life in the suicide fell, this is the path chosen by Zhang Shijie.

Boyan praised: "Very good. In that case, let me give it a try, how powerful are your heavenly knives?" The figure flashed, and the Olympic sword in his hand swept out again, as if it was about to split the earth.

Zhang Shijie's body did not move, and he drank in a deep voice: "Kill!"

Pick up the long knife and slash directly at the opponent from the bottom up.

"Boom", a hundred miles of shock, everyone was shocked, and secretly marveled at the power of the earth immortals.

In the face of such a strong fight, they can only retreat and watch quietly.

Holding the Olympic Holy Sword, Bo Yan felt that from the hilt of the sword, the opponent's power was constantly surging, even if he tried his best to block it, it was still difficult to support, and he was knocked upside down with a "bang".

What Boyan is good at is not swordsmanship, although he is holding a divine weapon, he can't exert a strong force, and in the face of peerless swords like Zhang Shijie, it is naturally difficult to resist.

Using Aegis to block the sword strength, Bo Yan's eyes locked on the other party, and he already saw that Zhang Shijie had already risen into the air, as if he was about to chase and kill him, and immediately smiled: "Sure enough, it is a fierce general on the battlefield." It's just, don't you think it's a pity?" The Aegis in his hand flew out in response, blocking the straight knife from his body, and his searching eyes fell on Zhang Shijie's body, as if he still had a desire to explore.

"What's the pity?"

Zhang Shijie's heart moved slightly, and he asked in a low voice.

Boyan replied: "Isn't it? With your talent, it stands to reason that you should have been crowned a marquis a long time ago." It's just that the Song Dynasty has always excluded you for various reasons. Obviously, you are the same age as that Lu Wende, and your exploits are not younger than him, but you are forced to succumb to him, don't you really feel wronged?"
