Chapter 245
Qingfu County.

It's almost mid-December, but the county is still locked down.The people complained a lot, and Jiang Chun, the county magistrate, was also devastated.

He can understand the difficulties of the people.

Winter wheat has been planted, has it been ruined?Has your home been robbed?How to spend winter without firewood?It's too late to catch up with the early rice planting next spring...

Although the matter is small, each pile is related to the livelihood of their family.

Wars must be fought, and people must live.

When too many people couldn't survive, Jiang Chun, the county magistrate, was overwhelmed.But no definite news came back, and he never dared to open the gate of the city easily. What if the Mongolian army turned back and slaughtered the entire county, then what should be done.

As long as the Mongolian army is in Shu, it will be like layers of dark clouds over the county.

"It's ruined, it's ruined, Qingfu County is going to be ruined...It's over, let's all die."

When he was alone, Jiang Chun would whisper like this, wishing he could burn everything clean with a torch, so he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Because of the entire county, the grievances of tens of thousands of people are on him.

"Oh!"

There was a noise outside. Hearing this movement, Jiang Chun knew that someone had bumped into his public house again, and it must be urgent.

Of course he wasn't in the public house, he was hiding in the tea room, so as not to have to listen to those troublesome things all day long.

"Where is the county magistrate? The county magistrate..."

Panic shouts came from outside the corridor, Jiang Chun sighed, got up and left the waiter.

"What's the matter?"

"County magistrate! County Lieutenant Li and the landlord are back! A big victory! A big victory..."

Jiang Chun stared, suddenly thinking that he had heard wrong.

"I can be promoted again? I really want to be transferred back to Liangzhe..."

~~
Shunqing Mansion.

On the battlefield by the Jialing River, Nie Zhongyou fell to the ground on his back, gasping for breath.

"Brother, aren't you dead?" Lin Zi stepped forward and sat beside him.

Nie Zhongyou just went to Suizhou Wuxin Army as a preparation general, and was soon sent to Shunqing Mansion to support him and face the Mongolian Army's Tege Huoluchi Division.

At the beginning, it was all bad news. The Longqing mansion was destroyed, the general Jiao Da was defeated, and the Shiquan army in the west was wiped out... The Mongolian army went straight to the Jialing River to encircle Hezhou.

Nie Zhongyou was already desperate, but he didn't expect the reinforcements to come anyway.

After the fierce battle, the rear was full of momentum, and there were ships going up the Jialing River, with banners covering the sky.Seeing this momentum, the Mongolian army retreated straight away.

Nie Zhongyou managed to catch his breath, stood up with the support of Lin Zi, and began to gather the remnants of the soldiers, the wounds on his body were too late to treat.

After a long time, he adjusted his soldiers and horses, turned his head to look, and saw that the reinforcements were approaching.

He saw two large flags fluttering in the wind.

On one side of the flag there is a big book "Sichuan made the envoy Pu", and on the other side it read "Jinghu made the envoy Wu"...

~~
"Wu Yuan, the envoy of the Jinghu system, led [-] troops, came to aid from Jinghu, and repelled Tie Gehuo Luchi and Dai Da'er."

A few days later, Shi Jun got the fastest news.

He was very relieved looking at the document, and said to Zhang Shi, "The war is over for now."

Zhang Shi's expression was gloomy, as if he had nothing to say.

Shi Jun sighed, and said softly: "Look at Zhang Dutong, Commander Pu was ordered in the face of danger, and finally defeated the three main armies of the Mongolian Army. At least, after Yu Hui, Sichuan and Shuai got a good commander."

At this time there are only Zhang Shi and Shi Jun in the room, Zhang Shi is a warrior, he always speaks out, he is not convinced and does not cover up, he still speaks out what is in his heart.

"Relying on the old relationship with Li Bozeng in Jinghu, Pu Zezhi used Wu Yuan's reinforcements to repel the enemy, what is his ability?"

Shi Jun smiled, and said: "Pu Shuai won a great victory in Bazhou first, strangling the Qujiang River. Then he got reinforcements from Wu Jieshuai, and resisted the enemy on the Jialing River, which is enough to show his ability."

At this point in his words, he said again: "Pu Shuai asked for help, I'm afraid he also meant to help us."

Zhang Shi remained silent.

This three-way battlefield.On the Qujiang River, Pu Zezhi fought a big victory; on the Jialing River, he lasted until the reinforcements came; only on the Jinsha River side, Zhang Shi first lost and then won. He lost the defeat, but he did not win the victory.

What else is there to say?
What's more, Pu Zezhi is also tolerant, and he can't accept it.

But Zhang Shi remained stubborn, and said: "He just retreated from the enemy. We killed the most enemies along the way, and also killed Wu Liang Hetai, the greatest contribution...I'm not praising me, but...Pu Zezhi But mere."

Shi Jun smiled slightly, because he knew that Zhang Shi was not convinced, so he was already convinced in his heart.

"In any case, it is a happy event to repel the Mongolian army again this year."

"We'll come again next year." Zhang Shi said, "We fight every year, we win every year, and if we lose once, we're finished."

In a word, the smile on Shi Jun's face froze a little, and he sighed: "Yes, how long can we defend? That's why Yu Shuai insisted on counterattacking Hanzhong back then."

"Chengdu has been lost all these years, and returned to Hanzhong." Zhang Shi shook his head, not in the mood to talk, and asked again: "By the way, do you really want to impeach Li Xia and Fang Yankai?"

"Impeachment has been done for their own good..."

~~
Whether it is impeachment or meritorious service.The news from Sichuan and Sichuan reaches Lin'an, and then the officials and the princes will make a decision, and there will be a new year's festival in the middle, so there is no certainty about going back and forth for three or four months.

Regardless of whether others care about these things, Li Xia doesn't care much.

He didn't even go to Xuzhou to tell Shi Jun what had happened, presuming that he was injured, he only handed over Wu Lianghetai's head, and sent Jiang Chun to Xuzhou again.

In this way, although Jiang Chun won't share the credit for beheading the general and killing the enemy, he can get some credit for the choreography and training of Min Zhuang, and it happens to cover up the killing of Zhang Yuanming together.

Li Xia didn't mind being robbed of credit, and even wished for more people to rob him.

After he returned to Qingfu County, he immediately wrote a letter to Ding Daquan and Jia Sidao, in order to contact Yang Guo.

At least let the princes behind Yang Guo see that Yang Guo's strategy is correct, the Song Dynasty had the strength to contain Mongolia... as evidenced by the head of Wuliang Hetai.

Li Xia thought about it, and wanted to write a letter to Zhao Kui, but there was no way.

At this time, he received a letter from Nie Zhongyou.

The letter was sent by the letter horse of Wu Xinjun, and it also brought some New Year's goods.

Nie Zhongyou talked about the battle with the Mongolian army on the Jialing River, and finally said that he met Wu Yuan, the envoy of the Jinghu regime, and said that Wu Yuan admired Li Xia very much, and asked him to meet him in Chongqing Mansion when he was free.

Li Xia was a little confused about this, until Han Chengxu asked him to inquire about it...

"Han always said that Wu Yuan is Wu Qian's brother?"

"Yes, Wu Qian has been appointed as Prime Minister and gone again. Wu Yuan's aid in Sichuan and Shu this time should also be expected to be among the prime ministers."

Li Xia nodded, already understanding what was going on.

It should not be for business, but related to the grievances between the Li family and King Zhong.

Li Xia doesn't want to get involved in this matter yet, and doesn't plan to go to Chongqing Mansion to meet Wu Yuan.

Fortunately, this was what Nie Zhongyou said in a private letter, not an official letter.

And he's busy.

He was not like Jiang Chun, who waited for the court to reward him for his merits and transfer him to another party after the war.
