"withdraw"

Kublai Khan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth before giving the order to retreat.

The situation is critical and continuing to fight will only increase casualties.

The Mongolian and Yuan cavalry retreated like a tide, but Zhu Di did not order a pursuit to take advantage of the victory. It was not the time for a decisive battle yet.

"Open the city gate and welcome the reinforcements into the city."

On the top of Xiangyang City, Lu Wende quickly ordered his men to open the city gate, looking at Zhu Di's back like a god of war, with strong reverence flashing in his eyes from time to time.

Everyone in the Lao Zhu family was trying to win over him, and he already knew who to choose!

"We won, we won"

Cheers resounded through the sky in Xiangyang City. There were Xiangyang defenders and people from all walks of life who came specially to join the battle.

Amidst bursts of cheers, Zhu Di rode a tall horse, followed by Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Houzhao, General Heng Ha, Li Rusong and others.

With intention and intention, Lu Wende enthusiastically hosted a banquet for Zhu Di and his party, and Zhu Di did not refuse. Conquering Lu Wende always requires a process.

"All countries join forces to take the initiative to cut off the expansion of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. The strategy is a good one, but do your monarchs and ministers have the determination to fight to the death?"

Wanyan Honglie looked at Lao Zhu and asked simply.

Lu Wende's posture was very low. He knew that the Song Dynasty was now dominated by the Zhu family, and he had no capital to be proud in front of Zhu Di.

Yelu Hongji fell into deep meditation.

Not only did he understand, but all the countries in the world also knew that the power of the Song Dynasty was not weak, but the monarchs and ministers were all "cowardly". As a result, no country in the country took the Song Ting seriously, and from time to time they would go to the Song Dynasty to fight against the autumn wind.

The leader of Xixia was the general Helian Tieshu, and the Tubo prince and national advisor Jiumozhi.

Xixia and Tubo also sent people to Lin'an to discuss joining forces to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.

Are you still young?

Seeing the fat and strong appearance of the Tubo Prince, everyone silently complained in their hearts without saying anything else. They were here to discuss the strategy of resisting the Yuan Dynasty, and they had no time to care whether the Tubo Prince was really stupid or fake.

"Don't speak secretly in front of people in the Ming Dynasty. My lord is now in charge of the Song Dynasty. My lord dares to fight and is willing to fight to the death."

Due to the overlapping timelines, both Wanyan Honglie and Yang Kang were not dead, but Mu Nianci had a strong heart and couldn't stand Yang Kang's "recognition of thieves as his father", so he disappeared without a trace with the newly born Yang Guo.

He entered Xiangyang with his head high and his chest held high, and Lu Wende led a group of Xiangyang officers, as well as Guo Jing and Huang Rong to greet him head-on.

"Lu Wende of Xiangyang, together with all the soldiers of Xiangyang, as well as Guo Jing and his wife Guo Jing, paid homage to Master Zhu."

Dali was a small country and its people were weak, Daliao and Xixia were suffering from internal and external troubles, Jin and Tubo were decayed and decayed, so they would not be the opponents of the Mongolian Yuan.

Lao Zhu did not answer Wanyan Honglie's question and asked the crowd instead.

He is Emperor Yongle!

Liao

Yelu Hongji opened the letter sent by Song Ting's special envoy and read it carefully. His face remained calm, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.

The Song Dynasty intended to unite other countries to take the initiative to attack. This was an opportunity. If it succeeded, it would give it a few more years to survive, but if it failed, it would accelerate the pace of death.

Yelu Renxian of the Liao Dynasty, Wanyan Honglie of the Jin Kingdom, Helian Tieshu of the Western Xia Dynasty, Duan Zhengchun of Dali, representatives from various countries were all speechless. This Tubo prince looked like a stupid pig.

"Where's Emperor Song? Why didn't Emperor Song look down on me, Tubo, when he met this prince?"

Golden State

Wanyan Honglie took his good son Yang Kang on the road to Lin'an, and went to look for his missing daughter-in-law Mu Nianci and grandson Yang Guo.

He had already received news about the changes in the political situation of the Song Dynasty. The Song Emperor had become a decoration. The real people involved were the Fengyang Zhu family. The Song Emperor was timid and fearful of war, but the Fengyang Zhu family was not necessarily so.

Emperor Duan Zhengming of Dali and Baoding reluctantly agreed to join forces to attack Meng Yuan.

He knew even better that once the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry were allowed to attack Xiangyang and the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty completely occupied the huge resources of the Song Dynasty, the end of each country would come.

The Tubo prince showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and then disappeared. His face was as thick as Jiumozhi's.

The most important thing is that the political situation in Dali is also unstable, and the power of the Gao family is growing. Duan Zhengchun or Duan Yu will need to make a great achievement to succeed the throne of Dali, otherwise they will not be able to suppress the Gao family's ambitions.

"Ha, it turns out that I, the prince, thought too much."

The person discussing the alliance with various countries was not the Emperor of Song, but a minister of the Song court, which made him feel offended.

Wanyan Honglie's face was extremely ugly. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the national strength of various countries was not at the same level as that of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

The Tubo prince kept shouting and was very angry.

Yelu Hongji scoffed and said that he knew the Song Dynasty's urinary nature very well. After all, the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty had fought many wars since the founding of the country, and they knew each other quite well.

"General Lu, you have worked hard to guard Xiangyang. There is no need to pay such a courtesy."

Zhu Di doesn't mind Lu Wende's past. As long as it can be used for him, he is confident that he can completely suppress Lu Wende.

Yelu Hongji was speechless!

Could it be that before you came here, you didn’t understand the situation in the Song Kingdom and didn’t you know that the Emperor Song’s words were no longer effective?

"Prince, calm down."

Being looked at with strange eyes by the representatives from various countries, even though he was as thick-skinned as Jiu Mozhi, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and quickly explained the changes in the political situation of the Song Dynasty to the Tubo prince.

Yelv Renxian, Helian Tieshu, Duan Zhengchun, and Jiumozhi quickly cheered up and listened attentively. It was related to the strategic decisions of various countries, and they did not dare to be careless.

Zhu Di got off his horse and helped Lu Wende up. He could see that Lu Wende had the intention to join him, and he was quite happy about this.

"Master Zhu, it was you who proposed the attack. I would like to know what you want to do specifically and how our countries should cooperate."

Song Ting, who was always known for being "cowardly", actually didn't know what he had done to be brave this time. He dared to take the initiative to attack Meng Yuan, and even invited other countries to take action together. It was simply strange.

"How do you think the national strength of our six countries compares with that of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties?"

Tang He was calm and composed, and took advantage of the general situation to force Yelu Hongji: "Now the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty is attacking Xiangyang fiercely. If Xiangyang is defeated and the Song Dynasty falls, can the Liao Dynasty stop the attack of the Mongolian Yuan cavalry?"

"It's much worse than that."

Lu Wende was not a good person, and he colluded with the traitor Jia Sidao, and single-handedly created the huge Lu family military group. His younger brothers Lu Wenfu, Lu Wenxin, and cousin Lu Wenhuan were all good generals.

Dali's foundation is weak and cannot withstand the trouble, but if it refuses to agree, the Zhu family who is in charge of the Song Dynasty will not be easy to fool.

Jiumozhi apologized to everyone: "The prince is young and ignorant, please don't blame me!"

He is just a minister, what qualifications do he have to talk to his noble Tubo prince.

The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty had just started, and it was relatively united and stable internally. On the other hand, other countries were corrupt, declining, fighting for power, and having problems one after another. It was impossible to compare with the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

"In your opinion, how does the combat strength of our six-nation armies compare to that of the Mongolian and Yuan armies?"

Lao Zhu's second question immediately silenced everyone. They didn't want to say it, were embarrassed to say it, and even more embarrassed to say it.

Historically, the defender of Xiangyang was Lu Wenhuan, but in view of Lu Wenhuan’s experience of surrender, the author wrote Lu Wenhuan as Lu Wende. Book friends who like to study official history should not take it seriously!
