Zongwu: I have no fault in Yang Guo, how can I change it?

Chapter 124 The Battle of Xiangyang ([-])
late at night.

Xiangyang Mansion, Lu Mansion.

study.

A middle-aged man with a general's belly and an inch-long thick beard looked carefully at the Chinese book in his hand, his thick eyebrows were tightly frowned, his expression was serious, and there was a hint of irritability between his brows.

Several staff members around saw that although they wanted to ask, Lu Wende didn't speak for a long time, and they didn't dare to ask themselves.

Boom, boom, boom...

"Master, Guo Daxia and Mrs. Guo are here."

A voice came from outside the door.

Lu Wende calmed down his emotions slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Please come and see me."

a while.

"Hero Guo, Mrs. Guo, the master is waiting for you inside."

squeak-yah-

The study door was opened.

A beautiful woman in her thirties, with a raised belly, was supported by another middle-aged man with a serious expression and a calm expression, and walked into the room.

Seeing Huang Rong's protruding belly, Lu Wende was slightly stunned.

"Here comes Guo Daxia and Chief Huang, please sit down quickly, please sit down."

A staff member next to him immediately moved a chair.

Guo and Huang thanked each other, and Shi Shiran sat down.

Lu Wende stood up and said apologetically:

"It's Lu who is confused and doesn't know that Gang Leader Huang is pregnant. But now that the Mongolian Yuan army is pressing down on the situation, he will be very anxious and have trouble sleeping and eating. He was careless for a while and didn't have time to think about it. Please forgive me."

Seeing the apologetic and sad Lu Wende, Huang Rong was slightly startled.

'This person is just a mediocre person who is greedy for money and lust, why is he now acting as if he is concerned about the country and the people?What is the intention? '

Thoughts kept running in her mind, Huang Rong took Guo Jing's palm slightly, and asked bluntly:

"Those who don't know don't blame it. Master Lu doesn't need to blame himself, but I don't know what is the matter that Master Lu invited the two of us here late at night?"

Lu Wende sat slowly, turned his big eyes, and said slowly:
"This Xiangyang City is thanks to Guo Daxia and Huang Gangzhu who led a group of heroes from all walks of life to guard the peace. If there were no difficulties, I would not disturb the rest of the two of you. But now that the Mongolian Yuan army is coming, I still have the cheek to invite you to come to discuss this matter. .”

"Lord Lu doesn't have to be like this, Guo will definitely defend Xiangyang for the people of Song Dynasty."

A hint of fatigue and helplessness flashed across Huang Rong's pretty face, she cupped her hands and said:

"Your Majesty Lu, if you have something to do, you may as well tell it directly. For the sake of the people of Song Dynasty, the little girl will definitely spare no effort."

Lu Wende's face was flushed, the light in his eyes flashed, he laughed and said:

"Good! Good! Good!!! Guo Daxia and Huang Gangzhu are worthy of being the heroes of the world. They are indeed unparalleled in kindness and righteousness, so I will not talk nonsense.

This time, the 30 soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan have already departed from Luoyang and are traveling to and from Xiangyang.

And I will receive a secret report that there are [-] sailors in the upper reaches of the Han River in Mengyuan, which can be described as menacing. I wonder if there is a good plan to save Xiangyang from the crisis? "

Hearing this, Huang Rong was startled again, she hadn't heard from the beggar gang about Meng Yuan Youshuishi's words, although she doubted whether the news was true or not, she was still lost in thought.

now.

Southern Song Dynasty.

There are only a little over [-] defenders in Xiangyang City, stationed in the lower reaches of the Han River, and there are [-] to [-] sailors in charge of supporting them.

And the Mongolian side.

The Mongolian Yuan sent more than [-] troops, and there were [-] naval divisions on the upper reaches of the Han River.

A total of more than [-] troops.

The comparison between Song and Mongolia's troops seems to be only two to one, so there shouldn't be any problems in Xiangyang City.

After all, the defenders of the city have always had the upper hand since ancient times.

But if the [-] navy of Meng Yuan blocked the navy of the Southern Song Dynasty.

After that, the more than [-] Mongolian soldiers besieged Xiangyang City, which was built near the water?
After all, going downstream is faster than going upstream.

Until then.

It is 30 to [-], a gap of [-] times.

In this way, can Xiangyang City still be defended?
"Hoo~" Exhaled a long breath, Huang Rong's eyes moved, mixed with thoughts, she grasped Guo Jing's palm tightly, and asked slowly with a tentative intention: "Didn't Master Lu never ask about Xiangyang city defense before?

Why is it on a whim now? "

The corners of Lu Wende's mouth twitched slightly, a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, and thoughts appeared in his heart.

'These people from the rivers and lakes who don't know how to advance or retreat really dare to open a dyeing workshop after giving three points of color.

If you hadn't thought about the fact that you and your husband are famous in Jianghu, you could call on those Jianghu people to come to defend the city, so as to alleviate the difficulty of insufficient troops.

Otherwise, with the ability to serve half your life as a soldier, it's your turn to question here, a girl? '

Suppressing his anger, Lu Wende smiled on the surface.

"Hehe... What did Chief Huang say, this general bears the emperor's favor, but he is the general of Xiangyang, guarding Xiangyang is also my duty, how can it be said that it was a whim?
By the way, I wonder if Gang Leader Huang has come up with a plan?Why don't you tell me how? "

Seemingly seeing the unkindness in Lu Wende's eyes, Huang Po held Guo Jing's generous palm tightly, as if this could bring him a sense of security.

Huang Rong's beautiful eyes were fixed in her thoughts.

"Master Lu, I don't know when my Great Song Navy will arrive, and when will the Meng Yuan Navy come."

Hearing Huang Rong's sharp questioning, Lu Wende was not surprised. Although he didn't like Huang Rong's contemptuous attitude towards him, he knew that the woman in front of him was unparalleled.

"The chief of Huang's worries is also the general's worries.

After knowing that Meng Yuan had [-] sailors, the general ordered all the sailors stationed in the lower reaches of the Han River to come to support him.

It's a pity that not to mention the long distance, we still go upstream, and we will be harassed by Mongolian soldiers from time to time along the way.

I'm afraid it will take more than a month to arrive, and by then... I'm afraid everything will be too late..."

Hearing this, Guo Jing was very worried, but he was always out of his mind, so he had to turn his eyes to his wife beside him, hoping that she would come up with a solution.

Huang Rong glanced at Lu Wende who was begging for help, feeling that he was planning some bad idea.

a long time.

The night wind was long, and the small insects blew in her ears. Huang Rong slowly raised her head. After hesitating for a long time, she saw Guo Jing who was waiting anxiously beside her. She sighed deeply and opened her mouth lightly.

"As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first. If we can find the Mongolian granary, we will set it on fire and slow down the marching speed of the Mongolian soldiers.

When it is dragged to the arrival of my Great Song Navy, the crisis in Xiangyang will definitely be alleviated and life will be restored. "

Guo Jing smiled happily, "Ronger's method is good! This method is good!"

Lu Wende also laughed heartily, but Huang Rong looked on, feeling more and more worried.

"Boss Huang is indeed extremely intelligent and unparalleled in wisdom.

It just so happened that the general learned a few days ago that Meng Yuan was fighting for this battle. Except for the main granary in Luoyang, there were three places where grain was stored, and one of them was to supplement the needs of Meng Yuan's navy. "

Huang Rong took a deep look at Lu Wende, she really didn't know how he learned the secret of the Meng Yuan army.

Guo Jing was full of excitement, "Great, this way, the crisis in Xiangyang can definitely be solved, definitely can be solved!"

Seeing Guo Jing like this, Huang Rong suddenly thought of what Lu Wende was up to, her heart flustered and her thoughts surged.

"It's late at night, Mr. Lu. We, husband and wife, will take our leave first." Standing up, she cupped her hands towards Lu Wende. Huang Rong tugged at Guo Jing's sleeves, clutching her belly, her brows showed a painful look.

"Brother Jing, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, take me back to the mansion and find my father to have a look."

Guo Jing panicked for a moment, his heart beating in his throat.

He thought Huang Rong was about to give birth, so he didn't care to say goodbye to Lu Wende, he picked up Huang Rong in panic and rushed towards Guo's mansion.

As soon as the two left, the study fell into silence.

For a moment.

After Lu Wende asked all the staff to retreat, he did not leave the study, but sat quietly behind the desk.

call--

A gust of cold wind blows, blowing candles flickering.

An old man with gray eyebrows suddenly appeared in the study.

This person has a thin body, an old and cold face, and his eyes are as cold as knives, which makes people uncomfortable.

Lu Wende was calm, with a smile on his face, and took a stack of banknotes from under the desk.

"Eunuch, don't worry, that Guo Jing will definitely take people to burn food. By the way, what other orders does Master Jia have?"

The old eunuch didn't speak, but suddenly stretched out a pair of skinny fingers that looked like chicken feet towards Lu Wende, and there was a ghostly howl.

Lu Wende was startled, although he didn't understand why the people in the boat with him wanted to attack him, but it didn't delay him to fight back and shout.

Seeing that Lu Wende just opened his mouth, before his huge fist came out, he felt a chill in his throat and he couldn't move his body.

I think he, Lu Wende, is also a general who has fought in the battlefield for many years.

The martial arts in the army have also reached the level of first-class masters in the arena.

But now, he has no power to fight back, and Lu Wende was frightened into cold sweat, his heart was beating wildly, he didn't know what the old eunuch in front of him wanted to do.

Regardless, the old eunuch squeezed Lu Wende's mouth open and fed a pill.

Lu Wende felt his eyelids were heavy and drowsy, but there was a burst of rage and fear in his heart.

"What does this old eunuch want to do? Could it be that he has some strange hobby..."

Before Lu Wende's thoughts fell, he met the old eunuch's cloudy but shining eyes, and an old voice came out of his mouth.

"Lv Wende, the guard of Xiangyang City, if Xiangyang City is here, you will be there, if Xiangyang City is gone, you will be dead too..."

When Lu Wende passed out completely, the old eunuch closed his mouth and disappeared into the darkness like a ghost.

……

a few months ago.

Lin'an Prefecture.

Royal Palace.

Wearing a light yellow inner shirt, Zhao Yan with a calm expression curled his fist as a pillow, closed his eyes, as if he was in deep thought, and kneeling in front of him was a middle-aged man in a red robe.

"Prime Minister Jia, I heard from Zhao Yun that he valued you very much before, right?"

Listening to the current sage addressing the name of the Supreme Emperor directly, Jia Sidao, whose eyes were empty, did not respond at all, but respectfully answered "Yes".

"Well... tell me, Xiangyang can't be guarded."

"Back to the official family, the old minister doesn't know."

Zhao Yan frowned, but quickly relaxed it again.

quiet--

silence--

Zhao Yan's eyes slowly opened, and there seemed to be helplessness in the reddish pupils, and he muttered to himself:

"I haven't practiced for a while, but I can't control my emotions..."

After sighing, Zhao Yan waved his hand lightly, and Jia Sidao, who was expressionless, stepped back slowly.

With his abnormally white feet bare, Zhao Yan walked to the window without haste and looked up at the night sky full of stars and bright moon.

"Where is Zhou Ding hidden? I don't know how they found it. It's really distressing..."

a long time.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Zhao Yan opened and closed his thin lips slightly, as if he was talking about something.

"Slave maids pay respects to officials."

A soft and old voice came from behind Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan didn't turn his head back, still looking at the night sky, he said flatly, "Sunflower, I don't want to lose Xiangyang City yet."

"The servant girl is going to Xiangyang now."

"If you go, no one will talk with me. Let the people from the Imperial City Division handle it. If it doesn't work, let the people from the White Lotus Sect make a fuss. Don't they just want to dispel the darkness?

Also... I'm feeling a little bored. "

"Then... the servant girl accompanied the official's family to do two tricks?" Sunflower Patriarch asked tentatively.

Zhao Yan shook his head, and continued to look up at the starry sky, the clear moon reflected in his eyes.

Seeing this, Sunflower Patriarch stopped asking.

This is what Zhao Yan seemed to have discovered, the corners of his lips slightly raised, he turned around and said with a smile:
"Sunflower, that Dongfang Bubai who practices the 'Sunflower Treasure' seems to be going to attack the Wudang faction. Do you think she will destroy Wudang?"

"The slave does not know."

"I ask you to answer."

Sunflower paused slightly, her old eyes closed slightly, and her throat rolled, "From the perspective of this servant girl, she will not destroy Wudang."

"Oh, why?"

"Her 'Sunflower Treasure' is incomplete. Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. It should be that she wants to use the 'Taijiquan Sutra' written by Zhang Zhenren himself to blaze her own path."

"Yeah, a person with great talent is just one step away."

"It's not the same as the official family."

"Hehe~ I'm different from her."

"Naturally, she cannot be compared with officials."

"Yes, it's not..."

...

...

Xiangyang.

Inside the inn.

"Ai ai ai, do you think that person outside Guo's residence is Mr. Murong?"

"Bei Qiaofeng, Nan Murong, Nan Murong is here today, I don't know if Bei Qiaofeng is here or not."

"What is Bei Qiaofeng? People recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and they are called Xiao Feng."

"Do you know that the Luoyang chief rudder of the Northern Beggars' Gang has been wiped out!" said a young man who looked thin and small.

"Who killed it!"

There was a sudden shout.

A burly man with a full beard grabbed the boy and questioned him sharply.

"Yes... yes... Meng Bing, they said they were passing by, and they were wiped out. It was written in Jianghu Monthly News, you... if you don't believe me, just go and buy a copy..."

Snapped--

With a loud noise, the Eight Immortals table burst out of sawdust and was crumbling.

The boy's face turned pale with fright, and he stammered:

"Brother...Brother don't kill me, I... I have an 80-year-old mother on the top, and... I have a three-year-old child to raise, I can't die!"

"Brother Xiao, your hands are bleeding."

The gentle girl's voice sounded, and Xiao Feng came back to his senses. Seeing the boy he mentioned, his eyebrows showed apology, and he patted his thin shoulder:

"I'm sorry little brother, how are you, are you not injured?"

The young man dared not answer, Xiao Feng just let go, he ran outside, afraid of being slapped to death.

Xiao Feng smiled wryly, lowered his hands and looked at his own palms.

A'Zhu at the side took out a handkerchief and carefully tied it on his bleeding palm.

Xiao Feng's heart warmed up, he thought of something suddenly, said with a smile: "Ah Zhu, I saw Mr. Murong just now, let's look for him right away."

A'Zhu paused, and for a moment she didn't know whether she was crying or laughing.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Feng asked suspiciously.

A'Zhu lowered her head and did not speak, tears flashed faintly in her eyes, after suppressing the soreness at the tip of her nose, she froze as soon as she raised her head.

"Yang Shaoxia, Miss Long, have they come to Xiangyang too?"

Seeing A'Zhu with red eyes, Yang Guo raised the corners of his mouth and teased, "A'Zhu, you are such an adult, why are you still crying?"
