Chapter 249: The Situation in the North

Zhang Shijie and Wen Tianxiang suddenly knelt down, Yang An didn't know why, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Ask Lord Yang to accept us as disciples!" the two said in unison.

"Why did you suddenly have such an idea?" Yang An asked.

"You may not know, Meng Ge personally led an army of 200,000 to attack the Song Dynasty from the north, the Song army was defeated and retreated, losing nine cities in a row, the Mongolian generals fell into the soldiers all bravely and skillfully, although General Meng had a small victory, but the surrounding cities were lost, General Meng was unable to support alone, so he had to retreat to Xiangyang City!"

"What? How long ago was this?" Yang An was taken aback!

"When we came, General Meng had already evacuated the people and was ready to evacuate, and by now, I'm afraid it's been half a month!" Zhang Shijie said.

"The Mongolian soldiers have descended from the nine cities of our Great Song Dynasty in less than a month, and he Jia Yidao alone has 200,000 troops in his hands, what did he do?" Yang An was so angry that he couldn't control his emotions in front of Zhang Shijie and Wen Tianxiang!

"Jia Rudao came over with 200,000 soldiers, but when he arrived in Xiangyang City, he didn't move, and seeing that the nine cities fell one by one, he didn't send a single soldier!" Wen Tianxiang almost burst into tears as he spoke!

"Is there such a thing?" Yang An walked to the side of the map and looked carefully at the situation in the north, Daoist Jin Chan and Zhang Wen also came over, Yang An said, "If I guessed correctly, Jia Rudao has reached an agreement with the Mongols, with Xiangyang as the boundary, and Song and Mongolia facing each other in the north and south!"

"Are you saying that Jia Yidao did not send troops in order to deliberately send nine cities to Mongolia?" said Jin Toad.

"You see, these nine cities are all surrounded by the Mongols, and if they disturb them, it will be endless troubles for their officials, so Jia Rudao deliberately let them out, and these troubles will be avoided! And Xiangyang is different, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Mongols are not good at attacking fortifications, so they will not fight its idea for a while! Jia Rudao is really well-intentioned!" Yang An said and sighed.

"Just for the sake of trouble, he handed over the nine cities to others, Jia Rudao is really generous, where did he put the people of the nine cities?

"So Jia Rudao has already colluded with the Mongols?" Wen Tianxiang asked.

"That's not all, Jia Rudao is not so stupid, his sister is the favorite concubine of Lizong, and he himself is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, under one person, above ten thousand, colluding with Mongolia, it does him no good. This kind of person wants to live his stable life, so he will reach an agreement with the Mongols and promise to give these nine cities to Mongolia, of course, Jia Rudao is not a stupid person, he promised this, he will definitely get benefits, gold and silver beauties are naturally indispensable, I guess the most important thing is that the Mongols should promise him that they will not attack Xiangyang for the time being!"

"Are you saying the Mongols won't attack Xiangyang now?" Jin Toad asked.

"Jia seems to be whimsical, if you don't attack, it's only temporary, how big the ambitions of the Mongols are, I'm afraid you and I can't imagine, the Mongols promised not to attack Xiangyang, because they are not sure, once they capture Dali, when the time comes, the Great Song Dynasty will form a siege, it will be good!" Yang An felt that sometimes if he saw the situation too clearly, he was afraid that even he would lose confidence.

"Then he is acting so recklessly, is it difficult for Emperor Daozong to ignore it?"

"Since Emperor Lizong pacified the Jin soldiers, he has become arrogant and lascivious, ignoring the government and politics, and favoring the Jia family sisters and brothers, it is too easy to hide from him!" Yang An said.

"I'm looking for General Meng to write to him!" Zhang Shijie said.

"If General Meng's twists and turns can reach Emperor Lizong's hands, then it will be a ghost! Don't sue him now, even General Meng himself may be in danger!" Yang An said.

"How?"

"Think about it, if you lose nine cities, Emperor Lizong will be furious when he knows it, and Jia Rudao will definitely not let the emperor know that he did it, so who do you think will bear this responsibility?"

Wen Tianxiang said, "You mean he will let the generals of the Nine Cities be scapegoats?"

"Nine times out of ten!"

"Then let's go back and save General Meng immediately!" Zhang Shijie said.

Yang An said: "The war here is about to break out, and people can't leave, besides, if you go too much, it will arouse Jia Yidao's suspicions, Shijie, do you dare to go back alone?"

"Dare!"

"Okay! Today, I, Yang An, will accept you as apprentices, and today I will pass on the internal strength of Xuantian True Qi to you, and how much you can comprehend in the future depends on you!"

"I've seen the master!" both knelt down at the same time!

Yang An then taught the two of them the Xuantian Zhenqi Luck Method, and after running for a week, Yang An said: "Although the Xuantian Zhenqi is powerful, any martial arts are gradual, as long as you run day and night, and do not slack off, you will have a small success in a year! As for what you can do in the future, it depends on you!"

"Thank you, master!"

Yang An instructed again: "After learning Xuantian Zhenqi, any external skills can be learned, whether it is sword technique, swordsmanship and marksmanship, combined with Xuantian Zhenqi's internal skills, it will be extremely powerful! Shijie, you are tall, I will teach you a set of marksmanship, this set of marksmanship is flexible and changeable, but it is also extremely powerful!"

Saying that, he taught Zhuang Feng's marksmanship to him, although Yang An had never used a gun, but he remembered all the moves demonstrated by Zhuang Feng at that time, and he had also instructed Youqu many times!

"You can write down these moves, and if you have a chance to see you again, I will look at your achievements and then give guidance! You go to Xiangyang first!"

"Yes!" Zhang Shijie turned around and went out.

Jin Toad said: "I came after a long journey, and I have to go back without a moment of rest, so it's better to leave tomorrow!"

"No, General Meng's life is in danger, where can I sleep soundly, I'd better go first!"

Yang An said: "Tianxiang stays, I have other arrangements!"

"Yes!"

"Just now I said that no one can deal with Jia Yidao, but in fact, there is one person who can, and you have seen this person!"

"You mean Imperial Doctor Sun Yanfa?"

"I didn't think you would be so smart!Why?, do you dare to go?" Yang An said.

"Why don't you dare?"

"Okay! You are too thin to learn how to shoot, so I will teach you my swordsmanship, and I hope you can use it to drive the Mongols out of the Central Plains!"

"Tianxiang will do his best!"

Yang An said, practiced the Mo Forget swordsmanship, and said: "These eleven moves are the general outline of the Mo Forget swordsmanship, and after practicing these eleven moves, there will be no guidance from me in the future, with your wisdom and intelligence, you will definitely be able to understand." Time is pressing, you should go down the mountain too!"

"Yes!"

After the two left, Yang An sighed, and Daoist Jin Chan said, "You let them go, and you teach each other, I'm afraid there is another purpose!"

"Tomorrow we are going to fight Mongolia, whether we win or lose, we should always leave some hope for the future of the Great Song Dynasty!"
