Michigan!

"What did you say?"

Suddenly startled, Xia Gui glared at Wang Xuan angrily, and shouted, "Tell me, what happened in Linyi?"

Just this morning, Xia Gui had just woken up from his sleep and was preparing to lead his troops to attack Laizhou, adding another good result to his credit book.

However, just as he was about to start, Wang Xuan, who was stationed in Linyi, hurriedly ran over, his armor was tattered, and his expression was quite hurried, and then he heard the news that stunned him.

Wang Xuan lowered his head, and his whole body trembled: "It's Mongolia, the Mongolian army is coming." ”

"Mongolia is coming, since Mongolia is coming, then you should be in Linyi, why did you suddenly come here? Could it be that Linyi has been occupied by Mongolia. Xia Gui roared.

Wang Xuan looked ashamed, and in the face of all the soldiers, he didn't even dare to raise his head: "Indeed, it is true!"

"But according to the information I have obtained, that Zhang Hongfan is still in Weifang, and there is no trace of any movement of troops and horses. Why did you lose Linyi?" Xia Gui was suspicious and continued to ask.

Linyi is a checkpoint for transporting grain, and most of the grain sent to the front needs to be mobilized from here.

If this city is cut off by the Mongols, then he will undoubtedly be choked by seven inches, and he may be strangled to death at any time and anywhere.

Wang Xuan's eyes were flustered, but he didn't dare to look directly into Xia Gui's eyes, and replied in a low voice: "It's Zhang Mo! ”

If it weren't for that Zhang Mo to do this, with his own strength, how could he lose Linyi so quickly?

"Zhang Mo? It's actually him? I don't treat him well, how did he do such a thing?" Xia Gui was obviously angry, and opened his mouth to shout: "If I catch him, I must kill this person." ”

You must know that in order to win over the other party, Xia Gui did not give the other party the grain and grass he deserved, and even allowed the other party to continue to serve as the magistrate of Linyi.

Now, the other party betrayed him in the blink of an eye.

This made Xia Gui a little difficult to accept!

"If that's the case, then ask the general. What are we going to do? Do we continue to attack Laizhou?" Wu Sheng opened his mouth and asked.

Xia Gui's eyes flashed with a complicated look, and then he let out a sigh: "No!"

"So what's next? Shall we stay here?" Wu Sheng then asked.

The rest of the soldiers also looked at it together, and a complicated look flashed in their eyes.

At present, Linyi is occupied by the Mongols, which means that the logistics have been completely cut off, and they are now completely isolated and helpless, and it is very easy to fall into the encirclement and suppression of the Mongols, and they are afraid that the whole army will be wiped out at that time.

Xia Gui sighed suddenly, and then said, "Let's go to Qingdao." There is a port there, and if we are in contact with our naval army, we should be able to retreat from here. After all, it's impossible for us to continue fighting. ”

Although Xia Gui is greedy for money, he is not an outlaw, of course he understands his own catties.

Therefore, he has always stood still, and never provoked Zhang Hongfan, who was far stronger than himself, and now that he was in a lot of difficulties, he naturally began to plan for retreat.

As for the Northern Expedition?

If they can continue, they will naturally beat gongs and drums and wave flags to cheer them on, but if they encounter insurmountable obstacles, they will run away like a mouse that has gnawed on iron cheese!

Wu Sheng's expression was relieved, and he immediately closed his head and replied: "General Qiyu, I understand, I'll do it." The rest of the soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief and secretly felt lucky.

"As for you, if you break into such a calamity, you will be severely punished even if you don't die. When you return to Lin'an, you can go and ask for your sins yourself. Glaring sideways at Wang Xuan, Wu Sheng was unceremoniously reprimanded.

Wang Xuan was speechless, only with his bare hands at his side, allowing the soldiers next to him to tie him up and put him in a cage.

In this life, he is completely finished!

"Alas, this Northern Expedition is completely over. I just don't know what will happen to Lin'an? Jia said, if you know the news, what will you do?" Looking at the south, Xia Gui's heart was full of thoughts.

When this news reaches Lin'an, it will definitely cause a huge wave, and he understands this quite well.

——————

Lin'an!

Stepping into the prince's mansion, Jia Rudao's eyes opened slightly, and he saw that Zhao Xuan was holding a book decently, and there were several teachers standing next to him, assisting him to understand the mosquitoes above.

Raising his chin slightly, Jia Yidao made himself look a little arrogant: "Prince, what are you doing?"

"Read a book. ”

Zhao Xuan raised his eyes, and when he saw Jia Rudao coming here, he immediately stood up from the chair, but when he was about to leave the table, he seemed to remember something, and sat down with a look of chagrin.

Jia Rudao asked, "What kind of books are you reading?"

"Warring States Policy. ”

Showing the name of the book to Jia Rudao, Zhao Xuan looked ignorant.

The book seemed so difficult to him that he couldn't understand it until now.

At this moment, Ye Mengding, who was standing on the side, complained: "Your Highness." Read the book a hundred times, and you will see its meaning. If you can see the meaning clearly, you will understand the meaning. For example, if you understand this passage of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, then you will understand the worries of the Song Dynasty at the moment. ”

The corners of Jia Rudao's mouth were slightly upturned, but when he looked up, he saw that such a text was clearly written on top of the Warring States Policy.

"Qin Xingshi came to Zhou and asked for Jiuding, and Zhou Jun suffered from it, so as to tell the face. Yan Shu said: 'Don't worry, the king, please borrow from the east to save Yu Qi'. Yan rate to Qi, said the king of Qi said: 'Fu Qin is no way, and he wants to raise troops to come to Zhou and seek Jiuding. The monarchs and ministers of Zhou, with their own plans, and Qin, are not as big as returning to them. The husband is in danger of the country, and the reputation is also; May the king figure it. 'King Dayue of Qi sent 50,000 troops, so that Chen Chensi would save Zhou and Qin soldiers. ”

Zhao Xuan looked left and right, but shook his head and replied, "I don't understand!"

Jia Rudao chuckled lightly, and said, "How can the things of a thousand years ago be compared with today?

"It's over, but it's just a repetition. The old minister is loyal, and he just wants His Highness to be blessed and healthy. Ye Mengding shook his head lightly, with helplessness in his eyes.

He is also more than sixty years old, and his energy has long been insufficient, although he has the intention to educate Zhao Xuan, but Zhao Xuan is too dull to enlighten after all.

Zhao Xuan didn't understand why Ye Mengding was like this, his two eyes stared straight at the hourglass, and when all the sand in it was drained, he clapped his hands and smiled: "Two hours have passed." I can go out and play!" As he spoke, he didn't care about Ye Mengding, whose face was instantly stiff, so he took advantage of Jia Nidao's clothes and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you." Can you take me to play?"

"Of course. As long as Your Highness informs me of the place where he wants to go, I will naturally lead Your Majesty there. ”

Jia Rudao replied with a smile, and at the end he glanced at Ye Mengding with provocation, as if he was announcing his dominance.

Even if he was transferred to Lin'an and left for nearly a month, he could still easily let Zhao Xuan throw himself into his arms.

Seeing this scene, Ye Mengding was desperate.

"Could it be that this Jiuding is really going to be easier?"

After all, with Zhao Xuan's appearance, he is not a Ming Jun.

On the other hand, Jia Rudao also took Zhao Xuan out of the prince's mansion.

Zhao Xuan was trapped in the study for two hours, and naturally he was very happy, following Jia Yidao and looking at the scene on Lin'an Street, from time to time he let out bursts of exclamations, although he was not commensurate with his age, revealing a sense of naivety, but it could also be seen that Zhao Xuan was quite happy, and in the eyes of others, he was like a father and son.

It's just a pity that if you want to become the emperor and prime minister who manages a dynasty, it is far from being able to solve it by the monarch and the prime minister.

The two played for a long time, and waited until the sun went down before resting, and after sending Zhao Hui back to the prince's mansion, Jia Rudao returned to his mansion.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the mansion, he heard an exclamation.

"Where are you today, why can't I find you anywhere!"

Looking at it, Jia Rudao noticed that the other party was Liumengyan, so he asked, "Of course I accompanied the prince to play." But what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry?" While asking, he sat down for a long time, ready to drink tea to moisten his throat.

On this day, he really walked a lot.

Liu Mengyan said: "Don't you know yet? Xia Gui has retreated from Mizhou!"

"Xia Gui retreated?"

After hearing the news at first glance, Jia Rudao quickly jumped up from the seat and looked at Liu Mengyan deadly.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Liu Mengyan replied: "That's right. According to Xia Gui's message, it was because Linyi was occupied by the Mongols, so he had to evacuate Mizhou as a last resort, and is currently stationed in Qingdao, waiting for the support of the navy. ”

"What a guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he slipped away quite quickly at this time. Jia Rudao opened his mouth and scolded.

Everyone understands that when the situation is very good, Xia Gui suddenly made such a move, obviously planning to dismantle the stage, if Wu Qian knew about it, he would have to be included in a book.

Thinking of this, Jia Rudao asked again: "That's right." Who else knows about this?"

"There is no one else in Lin'an except you and me. Liu Mengyan replied: "And this matter is very important, so General Xia did not officially notify the political affairs hall, but chose to pass it on to me in the form of a secret letter." ”

"That's good. That's good. Jia Yidao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the news was still blocked, then he still had hope.

Liu Mengyan continued to ask: "But this matter can't be hidden after all. If Wu Qian and them really know about it, then what should we do?"

Although Wu Qian is old, he is not a good stubble, if he stabs him directly in front of Zhao Yun's eyes, the two of them will all roll up and go home, and they will not be able to gain a foothold in the court at all.

Although Zhao Yun is incompetent, he still has this bit of courage!

"Now, maybe the only way to protect Zhao Xuan and raise him to become the emperor is possible. Jia Rudao's expression was hideous, and he did not hide his greed.

Because he understands that only by making the crown prince the emperor can he stand firm as the crown prince and the prince.

And that Zhao Xuan is just a dull person, and after coming to power, he doesn't know how to deal with the government, and he will inevitably give it to himself when the time comes.

Only when this is done can it be truly safe.

Jia Yidao understands this quite well!
