"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Lu Wende was furious and opened his mouth to reprimand.

Lu Wenhuan's heart was crossed, and he replied with a stiff neck: "What else should I do? Do you have the confidence to block the Huaxia Army?"

"You!"

A flush flashed on Lu Wende's face, and he sat down on the seat.

Everyone knows that the number of the Eastern Group Army of the Huaxia Army is as high as 50,000, and these 50,000 people are not the kind of laborers who can be filled with random people, but real soldiers who have undergone three years of training, and are equipped with all kinds of tiger squat guns, captives and other artillery.

Moreover, this is just an ordinary time, if the war starts, the Huaxia Army can rely on the long-trained non-commissioned officers, like blowing a ball, to more than double the size of the entire Eastern Group Army.

At that time, the 100,000-strong army rushed to the face, and Lu Wende had no doubt that his soldiers would be annihilated in an instant.

"However, is it possible to quietly watch the other party increase his strength?" Lu Wende clenched his hands, a little suspicious of himself.

Lu Wenhuan replied: "Otherwise, with our strength alone, we are not the opponent of the Huaxia Army at all." But since they haven't torn their skins yet, it means that they don't want to go to war yet. In that case, what are you afraid of? Do you think that with just one heart of blood, you can make Chang'an change his mind?"

"You, get out of here. Lu Wende couldn't bear it after all, and shouted at Lu Wenhuan.

At this time, he didn't want to see his cousin at all. ，

Lu Wenhuan was slightly disdainful, and hummed his lifelong love: "Just go, am I afraid that you won't succeed?"

"Father!"

Lu Shikui was worried, and when he was about to ask, he was scolded by Lu Wende.

"Don't meddle in my affairs with him, just take care of your own affairs. ”

Hearing this, Lu Shikui was speechless, so he had to retreat, so as not to continue to disturb his father.

At this moment, Lu Wende is on fire, and there can be no offense.

It's just that he was thinking about Junzhou, and in order to help his father solve the problem, he planned to find Zhang Wei and ask him what was going on with the train.

This time, Lu Shikui didn't have much expectations, who expected that as soon as he stepped into Junzhou, he saw Zhang Wei walking out of the city gate.

The chance encounter made Lu Shikui extremely happy, and hurriedly walked up to stop Zhang Wei: "What have you been doing lately, why can't I always find you?"

"It turned out to be Lu Gongzi. Why are you okay today, and you came to me?" A trace of doubt flashed in Zhang Wei's eyes, and he immediately squeezed out a smile to deal with it.

Lu Shikui shook his head slightly, revealing a little helplessness: "Alas." Isn't it that my father and uncle are quarreling again? Obviously they used to be such good brothers, but now they are arguing like this, which is really helpless. It's a pity that I, as a son of man, can't do anything. “

"But don't worry, Ling Zun and the general are both wise people, and the so-called quarrel is only for a while, and it will naturally dissolve in the future. Zhang Wei persuaded from the side.

"That's right. “

Lu Shikui felt a little relieved, his father and Lu Wenhuan had not quarreled before, and they had not calmed down as well?

Thinking of his coming, Lu Shikui took a deep breath, and then asked, "By the way, I have something I want to ask you, if you can, I don't know if you are willing to tell me?"

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. Zhang Wei nodded.

"That's good. Lu Shikui took a deep breath, and then asked, "Just yesterday, I saw that there were a lot of trains coming from your Junzhou, can you tell me what happened, there are so many people?"

"This!"

Zhang Wei's eyebrows furrowed, and he secretly said that it was indeed the case.

When he saw Lu Shikui, he was already worried that Lu Shikui would ask about it, and now it really came true.

"If there is something difficult, don't say it. Lu Shikui waved his hand.

Zhang Wei took a deep breath and secretly thought about his words: "It's not that you can't say it, after all, this matter is so obvious, it's impossible to deceive you, but it will only arouse suspicion." After all, all we want is the peace of the country and the people, and if people think that they are going to fight, it will not be good. “

Lu Shikui looked surprised, and then asked, "Oh, what is that for?" His face was full of unkindness, and it was obvious that he was influenced by his father, thinking that the Huaxia army was planning to attack Xiangyang.

"Alas. “

With a long sigh, Zhang Wei's eyes were full of worry: "Just recently, you should know that something happened in the Northland." “

Lu Shikui was a little curious and asked, "What's the matter?"

"That is, that Ali Buge is the emperor and the emperor is established. Zhang Wei's eyes breathed fire, and his fists were clenched, "This Brother Ali is just a barbarian, and now he is stealing the Central Plains, and he even claims to be the emperor?

"So that's it?"

Lu Shikui suddenly realized that he had figured out the reason.

Since moving into Chang'an, Xiao Feng has always regarded himself as a Chinese orthodox, and his mainland has widely publicized the distinction between Huayi, believing that Mongolia is a barbarian, and only they can unify China and practice Chinese culture.

And that Ali Buge actually regarded himself as the emperor of China, of course, he angered the people of Chang'an, which led to today's move.

"That's right. It is precisely because of this that the Lord prepared troops against the Central Plains, so that the puppet dynasty could understand what was the orthodoxy of China. It's a pity that there is no waterway in the Central Plains, and in order to meet the food supply, this is the kind of posture that has been made. Zhang Wei said the reason that he had been considering for a long time.

Of course, this is only a preliminary preparation, and when the official attack is launched, it will be at least a year later.

Hundreds of thousands of troops did not come out of thin air, and a lot of preparation work was required to organize such a huge organization, otherwise it would only fall into defeat like the Song Dynasty.

For Xiao Feng, for the Huaxia army, and for the many people in Guannei, this war must not be lost, and we must do our best to completely defeat the so-called Yuan Dynasty, at least from Meng Yuan's hands, and control the traditional Han plots.

Lu Shikui secretly said that this was indeed the case, and continued to ask, "But what about those soldiers?"

"They, O are the keepers of the grain and grass. After all, hundreds of thousands of troops are dispatched, and the requirements for food are too great, and if there is no one to guard them, it is easy to cause the grain and grass to be burned. Zhang Wei continued to explain, and these reasons also made the vigilance in Lu Shikui's heart dissipate.

Seeing that Lu Shikui's hostility dissipated, Zhang Wei took advantage of the fire to strike iron and put forward his own requirements:

"Of course, I also have something to talk to you about. That is, can you open the waterways so that our grain ships can penetrate deep into the Yangtze River, and prevent the army from falling into the crisis of food shortage. Is that okay?"

The food of hundreds of thousands of troops is not trivial, if it is in the Guannai, of course, it can rely on the train turnover, but if it goes deep into the Central Plains, because the Central Plains has not yet built a railway, so it can only rely on horse-drawn people and camels, which will increase the cost.

And the best way to do this is to take advantage of the Yangtze River, a natural waterway.

However, the place where the Danjiang River flows into the Yangtze River is in the hands of Xiangyang, so that Xiangyang must be opened so that the grain ships belonging to the Huaxia Army can enter the Yangtze River.

Today, the reason why Zhang Wei negotiated with Lu Shikui was for this matter.

"What kind of threat, it turns out that it's just like this. Looks like I had a false alarm. Lu Shikui chuckled, ashamed of his previous guess.

Zhang Wei smiled: "That's right. If there is anything that disturbs Lu Gongzi, please forgive Lu Gongzi. “

"Huh. You are also trying to recover Huaxia, what is there to disturb? Leave this matter to me, and I will definitely help you convince your father to let him open the net, so as not to delay your affairs. Lu Shikui patted his chest and replied.

Zhang Wei's smile became stronger and stronger, and he bowed his hand and said, "Since Gongzi Lu is willing to help, then the rest of the matter will be please?"

"Of course. Just wait for my news. With pride, Lu Shikui returned to Junzhou, and he had never achieved such an achievement in the previous time.

After returning to Xiangyang, Lu Wende couldn't help but have some doubts after listening to what Lu Shikui said: "You mean that those soldiers are just transporting grain, and the purpose is to help the army transport grain and grass?"

"That's right. What Zhang Wei said is true, the child does not dare to hide anything. Lu Shikui replied with certainty.

Lu Wende felt even more weird, and muttered with doubts in his mouth: "But what good is this for them? You must know that Xiao Feng has never been profitable, and it can't be so simple." “

"But father, didn't Zhang Wei say it? Those soldiers were transferred here to transport food. And that Zhang Wei also said that he hoped that we could allow their merchant ships to enter the Yangtze River, I wonder if my father thinks it should be accepted?" Lu Shikui didn't think so, what Zhang Wei said at the beginning was quite sincere, and there could be no falsehood.

"Borrowing Xiangyang?"

Lu Wende was even more puzzled, and his mouth was even more suspicious: "If this is the case, it is difficult to guarantee that this Huaxia army is playing a false trick to destroy the enemy." What's more, Lin'an has been making a lot of noise recently, if they find out that I am colluding with the Huaxia Army, then what's the matter?"

"But father. You also know that Meng Yuan is eyeing us, and he may go south anytime and anywhere. Now that the Huaxia army is willing to go out of the customs, why don't you help them? At least, it can avoid our losses, right?" Lu Shikui persuaded hard.

The 30,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangyang seem to be the official army of the Song Dynasty, but because the food and salary are all raised by Lu Wende himself, it is basically equivalent to Lu Wende's private army.

For the Song Dynasty, this was also a common practice, and even the Mongols could not ask for this restriction.

In this era, only the Huaxia Army overcame this problem, and the soldiers were all under the management of the Ministry of Defense, and local officers had no way to intervene.

This is enough to prevent the emergence of any warlords.
