Chapter 1263
Lu Wenhuan suddenly realized that his ears were still soft.

After all, he is not Lu Wende. Although Lu Wende has a greedy and jealous side, but he can fight from the battlefield with real swords and guns. Of course, his character is decisive and strong.

This is not something that can be learned.

At this moment, Lu Wenhuan kept reminding himself not to trust Weng Yinglong, that he was a repeat villain, but the scene that emerged in his mind was the scene of Lu Wende handing over the Lu family to him before he died.

For the sake of the Lu family, he couldn't give it a go, no matter what he did, he had to choose the safest path.

"I still need time to think about it," Lu Wenhuan said.

Weng Yinglong shook his head and said: "Marshal Zhang doesn't have the patience. If Marshal Lu agrees today, he will let go of the road. He is not afraid that you will join the Yuan army and make a comeback after you return to Nanyang. If you don't agree, he will continue to attack the city tomorrow. "

"Isn't he afraid that I'll change my mind when I return to Nanyang?" Lu Wenhuan said, "Can he still trust me?"

"Whether Marshal Lu will attack the Yuan army or continue to fight against the Wang Shi is not entirely up to Marshal Lu." Weng Yinglong pointed to the document in his hand and said, "We should listen to the court's opinion."

Lu Wenhuan looked down and saw that what he was holding in his hand was actually Li Xia's will to the world, so he couldn't help but sneered slightly.

He thought to himself that he would not listen to the opinions of the Xintang court.

But the next moment, he remembered that the contents of the document meant that Jia Sidao had turned his back on him.No matter what the truth is, Princess Ruiguo has become Li Xia's concubine, and there are great Confucians like Wang Yinglin and Jia Sidao's aides defecting, the Lin'an court cannot turn a deaf ear to it.

The imperial court must recall Jia Sidao's army.

Thinking of this, Lu Wenhuan's heart was shaken, and he became inexplicably at a loss.

For a while, I feel how sad it is that Jia Pingzhang is loyal to the country but is constrained everywhere; for a while, I feel that maybe Jia Sidao has really colluded with Li Xia secretly.

But what is certain is that the imperial court will never order him to send troops to the north again, and will only let him return to Xiangyang, ready to deal with changes in Jia Sidao's army at any time.

And if the Song army no longer cooperates with the Yuan army to attack the Tang army, but Boyan is not very kind and trustworthy, how can he get along with the Song state?The Yuan army was afraid that the Tang army's artillery would fortify the city, so they would only go south to rob and take captives, and detour from the Song Dynasty to find a way to go north.

Now it seems that the best way is to cooperate with Tang Jun to attack Boyan as Weng Yinglong said.

Thinking of this, Lu Wenhuan felt incredible.

He tried hard to find a way to break the situation... It felt like it was possible, but the premise was to fight a tough battle with Tang Jun.

"Damn."

He cursed in a low voice, but what he scolded was his ridiculous situation.

Weng Yinglong observed Lu Wenhuan's expression, and knew that he had figured it out, and said, "Promise now, my Master Wang can still help you attack the Yuan army. Otherwise, in the end, you will have to look alone."

"Ah."

"Marshal Lu, do you know why?" Weng Yinglong said earnestly, and persuaded him sincerely: "Because among the three parties, our king's division is the strongest, and the Yuan army dare not beat him directly, so we can only get compensation from Song."

Lu Wenhuan didn't refute, but looked down on Weng Yinglong even more, saying: "You have completely betrayed the country, and your face has changed quickly enough."

Weng Yinglong smiled modestly, a little shamelessly, knowing that it was time for Lu Wenhuan to step down, so he let out another long sigh.

"I have lost my courtship, and I should be spurned by Marshal Lu. But put aside this small Zhao family, and look at the Han family, how can I bear to see the people reduced to dust? How about the marshal driving away the foreign invaders, and then talking about who will be in charge of the country?"

Lu Wenhuan closed his eyes, lost in thought.

Just like what Weng Yinglong said before was all nonsense, only this last sentence of righteousness can really touch him.

In short, everything is for the Han family.

~~
Abandoning Songzhou City, go south along the Yishui River to the territory of Luanchuan, bypass the Funiu Mountain, and then go to Nanyang along the Baishui River.

The Song army's troops were all infantry, but their footsteps across mountains and mountains were not slow.

Especially this time when I go back, I don't have much luggage to take with me.

"Hurry up, you can rest at the intersection with the Duck River ahead!"

A Song army commander named He Fu shouted to his soldiers, his dark face was covered with sweat.

Seeing him, his lieutenant quickly handed him the water bag, and at the same time leaned over and said in a low voice: "Look at the distance, are we really retreating? Don't the Tang army pursue?"

"Yes." He Fu raised his head and poured water, and said, "We guessed right, the commander-in-chief made an agreement with Tang Jun not to fight anymore."

"This battle is really boring. If we want to fight or not, we just wandered around on a hot day."

He Fu pushed the water bag into the lieutenant general's arms, gave him a slap, and said, "Otherwise? You hope that you will beat hard and tell the brothers to fill it with their lives?"

"That's not it, how did the general guess a few days ago that the commander-in-chief is going to make peace with Tang Jun?"

He Fu asked: "Do you remember that year when Li Ni proclaimed himself emperor and the Tang army attacked Xiangyang?"

That year, He Fu was still a general under Lu Wende's command.First, they besieged Li Xia with the army, but later the Yuan army crossed the Han River, trying to reap the benefits of the fisherman while both sides were hurt.

At the end of that battle, Lu Wende still ordered the Yuan army to advance, and He Fu was the first soldier to attack the Yuan army.

Talking about this matter again now, his eyes flashed with memory, and he said: "What's the point of beating your own people? It's only good to fight captives."

"Speaking of which... many people in the army said so. When Luoyang was attacked, I knew that several commanders did not fight at all. It is true that Li Xia and Zhang Jue were heroes who defended Shu back then and did not want to fight. "

He Fu looked up and looked around, and said, "Shh, don't spread the word."

"I'll talk to the general about this, but I think some of them are afraid of Tang Jun, and they say this to save face."

"You are the only one who is smart? Stop guessing."

"But let me tell you, if we continue to lose like this, our soldiers of Song Dynasty will be regarded as cowards."

He Fu was not talking, as if he was thinking about whether he was a coward.

……

After stationing in the camp that day, Lu Wenhuan summoned the lieutenant generals to discuss matters.

First, let the soldiers surround the big tent to ensure that the content of the military discussion will not be eavesdropped.

"Soldiers, we regained Nanyang through untold hardships. However, the Yuan army broke into Nanyang while we were going north to fight against Li Ni. Now they are stationed on the east bank of the Baihe River downstream, beside the couch. How can we allow others to snore and sleep? ?!"

When He Fu heard this, he couldn't help but straighten his back and cheer up.

He looked at the map, and saw that Lu Wenhuan had marked the location of the Yuan army camp and the route to attack the camp.

This situation seems to have returned to the battle in Xiangyang back then.

He Fu couldn't help but wonder why this happened.

He first thought it was because Marshal Lu was loyal and took it as his duty to drive out the foreign bandits.

More importantly, resisting captives is a tradition that has been preserved for more than a hundred years by the soldiers of Dasong Jinghu who inherited the will of Grandpa Yue.

This is the morale of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

"We are not bad." He Fu said heartily.

Facing the upcoming battle, he has become high-spirited...

~~
June [-], Luoyang.

A large sand table was placed on the Luocheng Palace.

The mud and sand piled up into the undulating Funiu Mountains, and the Baihe River in the south was filled with blue paint.

Li Xia held a few war chess pieces in his own hands, and while listening to the news from all parties, he fiddled with them on the sand table, and gave a few orders from time to time.

"Your Majesty, according to the latest news, Boyan has divided his troops and fled. He sent troops to Dengzhou, Tangzhou, and Tongbai Mountain. Lu Wenhuan was worried that the rear would fall, so he divided his troops and went south. The situation has become quite chaotic. Marshal Zhang is worried about this. It's Boyan's trick, I dare not fight immediately..."

Given the distance between the two places, it would take one day at the earliest for the news to come back. Therefore, Li Xia did not command remotely, but paid close attention to it in order to respond in time.

He frowned and moved the game of war on the sand table a few times, deducing it.

Judging from the situation, it is possible that Boyan pretended to go south, but actually shot a feint to trick Lu Wenhuan into sending troops back to help, and then came back quickly with the advantage of the cavalry to attack Zhang Jue.

It was right for Zhang Jue not to fight immediately. He should shrink the line of defense to avoid being attacked by the Yuan army.

After all, it is a three-party war, and everyone wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman...

Thinking of this, Li Xia froze for a moment, and took up the war game again.

He quickly pulled the three soldiers sent by Boyan to the south back to the north, and placed them directly behind Lu Wenhuan's war chess. At the same time, he pushed Boyan's small flag over.

Several officials who were watching were surprised: "Your Majesty thinks that Boyan will not attack us first, but the Song Army first?"

"There is no shortage of possibilities."

"But... Song and Yuan are an alliance after all."

"At critical moments, we only care about interests." Li Xia said, "There is no time for Boyan to hesitate in this situation. If he is not decisive, the entire army will be wiped out."

Having said that, Li Xia did not send anyone to remind Zhang Jue.

What he could think about on the battlefield, Zhang Jue could also think about.

And even if he thought about it, Zhang Jue couldn't change his strategy. He wanted Boyan to attack Lu Wenhuan first, so he would still shrink his defense.

On the battlefield, whoever is weak will die first.

However, this matter is not easy to say, but Li Xia guessed it through a few words of news.

He looked at the sand table and thought for a while, and said, "Send someone to tell Lu Xiufu to take the soldiers, horses, food and grass to Kaifeng first, and take Kaifeng as soon as Zhang Jue returns to the division."

"Then Zhengzhou..."

"I'm here, can Zhengzhou still be lost?"

"Yes."

After arranging these things and handling other official duties, Li Xia still hadn't received a new battle report before nightfall.

There was no new battle report until noon the next day.

"Your Majesty, Marshal Zhang is sending you an urgent letter... Boyan has raided Lu Wenhuan's camp!"

This incident was not unexpected, but Li Xia quickly walked to the sand table, readjusted the war game according to the battle report, but still said with emotion: "No wonder Kublai Khan promoted Boyan as prime minister when he saw him."

Lin Zi stepped forward to look at it for a while, and then said, "Bo Yan is indeed capable of breaking a fish's net."

"Huo Xiaolian."

"exist!"

"You choose the front battalion to cooperate with Lu Xiufu, listen to the news at any time, once you know that Boyan has left the battlefield, bite him, before I leave Henan, I want to see people, and I want to see corpses... It is better to live."

"Here!"

In fact, everyone in the hall looked at the layout of the war game, and felt that Lu Wenhuan's reaction was slow, and he was far from Boyan's opponent.

According to their analysis of the Song Army's strength a few days ago, they all believed that the Song Army was about to be defeated.

But Li Xia still had confidence in Zhang Jue, thinking that even if Boyan could defeat Song Jun, he would not be able to defeat Zhang Jue.

~~
Before nightfall, the last battle report finally came back.

"Good news! Your Majesty, Zhang Shuai has defeated the Yuan army. When the news came out, the main force of the Yuan army was defeated!"

"Don't worry, tell me slowly, how did you fight this battle?"

"At the beginning, the soldiers and horses transferred by the Yuan army to the south suddenly withdrew, quietly crossed the Baihe River, attacked the right wing of the Song army's transferred troops, and went straight to Lu Wenhuan's central army. They also met Boyan's main force to cross the river...Zhang Shuai confirmed News, led the troops to go south, and when they arrived at Dushan, they stormed Boyan's rear formation..."

Li Xia had already taken away Lu Wenhuan's war game, and was about to put Boyan's war game into Nanyang City, when he heard that he put it back.

"Did Zhang Jue rush over from Bowang?"

"Yes."

"Going to cross the Baihe River? The Song army has not been defeated when we arrive?"

"Undefeated, Boyan has been attacking the Song army for a long time, and he is in a dilemma. When Zhang Shuai's army arrives, he will flee at once."

Although the result was similar to Li Xia's expectations, he did not expect such a process.

And the tenacity of the Song army also made Boyan's defeat much earlier than he expected, and I'm afraid it may not be enough time to stop it...
