end song

The camp of the Song Army that Li Xia and Liu Yuanli attacked successively was on a hillside called "Changgang Ridge".

A few miles to the west is Jiutian Xuannv Cave. The mountain stretches northward to the Han River, forming a natural encirclement.

In the Changgangling camp are the soldiers and horses that Lu Wende arranged here to prevent Li Xia from escaping westward.

After fighting until almost noon, Liu Yuanli finally heard a cheer.

"His Majesty!"

He hurriedly rode up to the low hillside, and saw Li Xia's flag.

It finally came together, and it took longer than expected.

Liu Yuanli seemed to have returned to the time when Liu Heima and Yu Ling fought together, and realized the stubbornness of the Song army when they defended the camp.

But he managed to break through Song Jun's defense line. He passed through the still chaotic formation and saw Li Xia.

"The escort came late, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

This was the first time Liu Yuanli saw Li Xia after he proclaimed himself emperor, his eyes turned red, and he quickly said a few words from his heart, regardless of being still on the battlefield.

"It has been more than [-] years since Jin subjugated the country, and I finally saw that the Central Plains has an orthodox emperor, and I am overjoyed!"

These words sounded a little hypocritical, but Liu Yuanli came from the heart.

Others said that he was the descendant of Yelu Deguang, Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, but the Khitan emperor considered himself a descendant of Liu Bang, so Liu Heima was called Liu Heima, not Yelu Heima.

Before Li Xia started to gain momentum, the Liu family had been the "Liu family" for two or three hundred years.

This is the feeling of a family surnamed Liu in the Central Plains, after losing the emperor for decades, finally regaining their feelings.

On the hurried battlefield, Liu Yuanli got off his horse and knelt down to salute.

"Your Majesty doesn't even give you the chance to have an audience in Chang'an.

"Wu Lang is free of courtesy, you have done a great job in saving him, and you should be rewarded."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

Liu Yuanli quickly wiped his eyes, got up and got on his horse, and quickly returned to his usual calm and quiet appearance.

Li Xia pointed to the east and said, "Did you see it?"

"Has the Song army increased its troops?"

Liu Yuanli raised the binoculars, looked at the billowing dust and smoke several miles away, and froze for a moment.

He put down the binocular and said, "Yuan Jun? How could it be?"

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman comes."

Li Xia has always been surrounded by the Song army, so it is naturally impossible to know how the Song army allowed the Yuan army to cross the Han River outside the encirclement.

I can only make a rough guess, perhaps because of the Lumenshan building market.
Liu Yuanli became more and more surprised.

"I thought that Lu Wende dared to order the whole army to charge, so he should have eliminated the possibility of being robbed by the Yuan army."

"Lian originally thought so, and went to see Lu Wenhuan to make sure he was rational."

"."

Liu Yuanli shook his head.

When Lu Wende became famous, he was only seven or eight years old, and he once regarded Lu Wende as a great enemy, so he was inevitably a little disappointed today.

"How can a generation of famous generals be so negligent? The three sides confront each other, even children should know that safety is the most important thing."

The three parties were fighting, and suddenly one party made a mistake that even a child should not make, which made Liu Yuanli feel very difficult.

He looked around.

At this time, the general flag of the Song Army on Changgang Ridge had been captured, and the soldiers of the Song Army were separated into two parts.

The part near the mountain began to scatter backwards, and most of the part near the river chose to surrender.

Further away, other Song troops were encircling them.

Liu Yuanli turned to look to the west, and could faintly see dust and smoke flying among the mountains and forests.It can be seen that Lu Wende was confused in the grand strategy, but he was still sophisticated in tactics and had arranged for a larger encirclement.

Right now there are only two paths.

One is to retreat to the Han River, return to the ship, use the ship and artillery to defend, but there is insufficient food and grass, it is difficult to go up the river and return to Hanzhong under heavy siege;
The second is to take advantage of the victory to pursue and drive the rout troops to defeat Lu Wende's entire army and recruit his troops, and then defeat the Yuan army.

But this is even more difficult to achieve. The Tang army has been besieged for a long time and is already exhausted. Under the situation that the Yuan army may attack at any time, there is no time or opportunity to defeat the five times the enemy.

Liu Yuanli felt anxious, and licked his lips because his mouth was so dry. Looking at the dust and smoke getting closer to the east, he finally said: "I think I should go back to the riverboat to rest."

He has a calm personality and chose a more conservative approach.

"After all, Ezhou is in our hands, and the Song army's retreat has been cut off. As long as we hold on, they may collapse first." Liu Yuanli said again: "The confrontation between the three parties is not the only embarrassment for us."

Li Xia shook his head.

He stayed here to hold back the main force of the Song army and create opportunities for Shi Jun to attack Ezhou.

Now that the reinforcements have arrived, if they don't break through, the soldiers will only become more and more tired and the food and grass will be less and less. Even if Lu Wende is dragged to death, the Yuan army will continue to rush over.

When it breaks, it breaks.

Lu Wende is confused, let him pay for his confusion.

"If you retreat, your death will be delayed, and if you advance, you may have a chance. I don't want to retreat. Will Goro be willing to defeat the enemy for the alliance?"

Liu Yuanli looked to the east at the vast and endless Song army formation, and suddenly felt the pressure.

He wanted to persuade Li Xia to reconsider.But just now tears welled up in his eyes, how can he back down now?
"I will go through fire and water, and swear to kill the fool Lu Wende for your majesty!"

On the watchtower of Longzhong Mountain, Song Jun could use the binoculars to see four or five miles away.

I saw that the Yuan army was only two miles away from the Song army.

The flag on the watchtower kept waving, reminding the generals on the battlefield to pay attention.

In fact, you don't need to look at the flags in the watchtower, just look at the dust and smoke in the east, and the generals of the Song Army are also very nervous when they see it.

Hearing Lu Wende's self-criticism, the civil servants rushed forward one after another to comfort him.

"Let's guard the country and defend the country. This battle has not been defeated. How can you claim to be wrong for the country?"

"Don't be alarmed, Shaobao. The people of Yuan Dynasty have sent envoys to say that they have no intention of going to war. It's just because our army has not been able to wipe out Li Xia, and the general manager of the people of Yuan Dynasty can't wait, so he came here."

"On the contrary, if our army doesn't have the strength, they can come."

"After all, Song Dynasty has an alliance with the Yuan court, send someone to speak with the Yuan army, we will be able to wipe out Li Ni very quickly.

"That's right, Mo Luo has committed the crime of arbitrarily provoking border quarrels."

Listening to what they said, Lu Wende froze for a while, as if he was even more confused.

Seeing this situation, Qiu Tongfu was very anxious.

"Enough!" He raised his hand and pointed, "You guys, do you still see the rise and fall of the world in your eyes?!"

He thinks that these people around his father-in-law are not stupid, but bad, and he said this in order to follow his father-in-law's desire to get rid of Li Xia.

The Song Dynasty and the Yuan Court had an alliance, but why did the Yuan Court negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty?
Because of Li Xia.

If Li Xia is destroyed, what is the use of the covenant?
In other words, as soon as Li Xia dies today, the Yuan army will turn around and go straight to the Song army.

Such a simple truth, even he, a doctor, can understand it, and he doesn't believe that these civil servants who are well versed in political tactics can't see it.

His heart can be punished!
Qiu Tongfu remembered that it was not like this a long time ago. In the past, everyone under Marshal Lu's behind the scenes conspired to get rid of the Mongolian army.

I don't know when it started, the discussion was how to replace Pu Zezhi, how to exclude Liu Zheng and Xiang Shibi, how to please Jia Sidao, and then how to get rid of Li Xia and how to get rid of Li Xia.

Because Lu Shaobao wanted to be rich and to get rid of Li Xia too much, so the people around him also changed.
This change made Qiu Tongfu even more heartbroken.

"There are all the elite soldiers in Jinghu, the commander is seriously ill, Ezhou has been lost, and the way back has been cut off. You are still thinking about getting rid of the serious troubles for the Yuan army first. Can the crumbling Dasong Sheji be saved?!"

The words "Great Song Sheji" came to my ears, Lu Wende turned his head, he was addicted to his mouth, and opened his mouth, but what he said was not how to deal with the Yuan army.

"That pawn, how dare he call me stupid?"

"Father-in-law, Wanmo is as knowledgeable as that vulgar fellow. Even the enemy is disappointed in me?" Lu Wende didn't know where to look, and said to himself in a very low voice, "I have been in the army for 30 years, and Lu Laoliu has repeatedly suggested, But you can’t even see the situation?”

Only Qiu Tongfu, who was standing closest, heard this sentence. After thinking about it for a while, he vaguely understood the mood of his father-in-law.

What kind of low-level mistakes can disappoint even the most hopeless enemies of him?
As far as Qiu Tongfu knew, this father-in-law had never been scolded.

In fact, too many people scolded Lu Wende for his shy and greedy temperament, and his reputation for corruption can be described as everyone scolds.

But maybe he felt that he deserved so much credit for the Great Song Dynasty, and that the Lu family's "treasures filled the house, produced all over the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, and they were extremely rich." He didn't care about scolding these things.

However, no one has ever dared to criticize his illustrious military exploits and abilities.

It doesn't matter if you lose your personal morality, and your reputation cannot be ruined for the rest of your life.

Although greedy and jealous, but not stupid
Qiu Tongfu looked, and saw that Lu Wende's face became more ugly in this short period of time, because he woke up from a faint, his hair was a little messy, and fell from the helmet.

In the past, I didn't realize that his hair was already gray and white, so he looked very old.

Really old, confused and stupid.

"Father-in-law." Qiu Tongfu stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Many soldiers have been lost today, if one hundred thousand Jinghu elites are really thrown here, the consequences will be disastrous.

He understood the meaning of Lu Wende's phrase "Those who wrong the country, I am too", and after persuading him, he added a sentence tactfully.

"Besides, my stepfather is not feeling well, so it's better to withdraw the troops and fight again after recuperating."

I thought this would persuade Lu Wende
however.

There was another shout in the ear.

"To shut up!"

Lu Wende pushed Qiu Tongfu away and scolded: "What do you know, you stupid scholar? Don't bother me!"

I don't know where this seriously ill man got the strength, when he stood up and gave the order, his voice was like a bell.

And stubborn, die without repentance.

"Go, bring up that damned rebel soldier! Then send someone to tell the generals of the Yuan army, I will be able to wipe out Li Xia immediately, without their assistance. Ask them again, the Song Yuan alliance is still there, how dare you enter In the territory of the Song Dynasty? Retreat quickly.

When Qiu Tongfu heard this, seeing that Lu Wende was still stubbornly trying to kill Li Xia, he couldn't help being anxious and wanted to persuade him.

——Father-in-law, how can you be so stubborn?
The next moment, Lu Wende turned his head and gave him a cold look.

Those eyes were sharp and resolute, decisive.

Qiu Tongfu was startled, a chill ran down his back.

Suddenly, I heard the drums beating again on the Changgang Ridge in the west. The rebels seemed to be surrounded by the Song and Yuan coalition forces, and they seemed to have the determination to win.

Here Lu Wende is stubborn, and Li Xia is also fierce. He actually wanted to defeat the Song and Yuan forces in a single battle.

Qiu Tongfu thought it was impossible for Li Xia to win, and he should take a step back even if Lu Wende was confused, he also believed that Li Xia should take a step back.

But at the same time, he was terrified of such a decision.

From this, he began to think about whether Li Xia had the slightest chance of winning. His eyes turned and fell on Lu Wende's back, thinking that Lu Wende's back would come back in case of a big battle. He became more and more frightened.

"No!" Qiu Tongfu finally let out a trembling sound of fear from his throat, "Jade and stone will be destroyed. Just in case"
