Chapter 839
White Emperor City.

This place is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River at the mouth of Qutang Gorge. The so-called "Baidi Gao is the town of the Three Gorges, and Kuizhou is dangerously close to Bailaoguan", this is the gateway to Sichuan and Shu.

On March [-]th, Gao Changshou stood on Baidi Mountain, looking into the distance, while listening to Jiang Fan talking about all kinds of strange information.

"...His most famous battle was when he was surrounded by Kublai Khan's [-] troops and escorted Jia Sidao to Jiujiang with [-] cavalry."

"Is there a confrontation?"

"After the First World War in Ezhou, Jia Sidao asked someone to write the "Fu Hua Bian" describing the battle situation. He told people to tell stories in the streets and alleys of Lin'an every day, saying that he consolidated the Jiangxi and Lianghuai defense lines overnight. There are various theories about the matter, some say that Sun Huchen was unstoppable, and some say that he did not encounter the Mongolian army on the way out."

Gao Changshou was displeased, and frowned, "I didn't come to listen to your storytelling."

Putting one hand against the hook, Jiang Fan made a clasped fist and said, "I only know that Sun Huchen made meritorious service for escorting Jia Sidao, but I don't know if he has other military merits."

"Then how does he appease all the way from the official position?"

"Sun Huchen regarded himself as a lackey of Jia Sidao's family. After the Battle of Ezhou, Jia Sidao returned to Lin'an. At that time, there was a woodcutter woman named Zhang Shufang in Xishan, Qiantang County. Emperor Lizong. Seeing him, Jia Sidao ordered Sun Huchen to lead his men to beat up Dong Songchen's subordinates and rob Zhang Shufang into the palace. After this incident, Sun Huchen was appointed as the chief guard..."

"What a mess."

"These are the market rumors about Sun Huchen that I collected when I was in Lin'an."

Gao Changshou frowned, feeling that Jiang Fan was not very reliable.

He took two steps with his hands behind his back, blowing the river wind, and muttered to himself: "Don't fall into the tricks of the enemy's arrogant soldiers."

"The atmosphere in Lin'an is like this. The two generations of emperors were addicted to alcohol and sex, and the high-ranking officials in the court kept fighting with each other. Employers always look at loyalty first, and many of the generals they dispatched were put on airs."

"Fantasy?" Gao Changshou shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."

He seemed very serious, although he was not sure how capable Sun Huchen was, but he had confronted the vanguard of the Song Army, and he could see that there were several good generals on the opposite side, which should not be underestimated.

~~
Jiang Cai was ordered to go to Lianziya to supervise the construction of the city, and stayed until the early morning of the [-]th when he returned to the Kuilongshan camp.

It was still the stage of the confrontation between the two armies. He had received the most difficult assignment two days ago, and then he had other generals to take turns. He planned to go to Zigui County, but he was summoned to the central army tent by Sun Huchen.

"According to news from Xiangyang, General Lu has wiped out the Mongolian army's capital and Dong Wenwei's troops in Wuguan."

Sun Huchen was dressed in armor and looked majestic. He sat on the head and looked around at the generals, and said: "According to General Lu's report, the Mongolian army may retreat."

The generals were in an uproar.

"Did Li Ni defend Guan Long?"

"Hahaha! Good! Even if Li Xia is a traitor, it's good if he can stop the Menglu's offensive this year, we don't have to worry about leading troops to suppress the rebellion! Hahaha..."

"Ma Shilong! It's not your turn to speak, the general speaks."

The laughing Ma Shilong was Jiang Cai's subordinate. When Jiang Cai heard this, he turned his head and glared at his subordinates, reminding him in a low voice, "Shut up."

Sun Huchen, who was at the top, kept a straight face, swept around, and continued: "It seems that Gao Changshou's so-called transfer of Kuizhou and Wanzhou is a strategy to delay the army. If it is delayed, the rebels will return to Chongqing from the north... ..."

He talked for a while, and the generals gradually felt the atmosphere of going to war.

really.

"Boom!"

Sun Huchen stood up, drew out his saber, and held it in both hands.

"This knife was given by Duke Pingzhang before I took office in Hubei. In the second year of Xianding, Li Ni sent people to sneak into Jiangling to destroy it. The magistrate Yang Zhan was incompetent, so I was ordered to guard the gate of the Yangtze River for the Song Dynasty. Two years of operation , and finally got this opportunity to recover Kuimen. Now, we have been investigating for many days, and the rebel forces at Qutangguan are weak, and they are trying to deceive us to delay the time with words, will we fall into this trick?!"

"No! No!"

"Then go up the river and seize Kuimen. With Duke Pingzhang and Son Sheng Ming at the court, you don't have to worry about losing your rewards, just fight bravely to kill that traitorous traitor!"

Then came the military order.

Jiang Cai was ordered to be the vanguard, and he was the first to lead the troops to attack Qutang Pass the next day.

That being the case, he stopped thinking about going to Zigui City to rest for a while.

After conquering Qutang Pass, he will soon be able to go to Wanzhou to serve as the deputy governor, and then he can settle his family in Wanzhou.

It's good to start the war early.

As Ma Shilong said, Guanlong has been defended, and now that the rebellion is suppressed, there is no need to worry about letting the Mongolian captives take advantage of it.

After the military discussion, Jiang Cai didn't go out of the camp again, and went straight back to his camp.

"Prepare for the battle! Go to sleep earlier, I will make meals at midnight, and set off before dawn."

……

After patrolling the camp, Jiang Cai frowned.

He saw a group of soldiers surrounded by Ma Shilong's tent, all of them grinning.

That Ma Shilong was from Lin'an, he was only in his early twenties, he was quite a hero, and he was brave in battle, but he talked too much.

"..."

"Haha, what did I do to lie to you? I just heard about it before the expedition. The maid's surname is Ye. Seeing her beauty, Mr. Pingzhang raised his hand and pointed her in front of the officials, so he wanted to take her away." How dare the official family refuse to go out of the palace as a concubine? Just nod and agree, haha."

"Ping Zhanggong is really amazing."

"I still don't believe it. That's the official family. Duke Pingzhang dares to rob the people around the official family?"

"I still don't believe it, it has been spread all over Lin'an City, and there are poems to prove it."

As Ma Shilong spoke, he shook his head and began to chant.

"On the mountain and on the boat on the Loutai Lake, Pingzhang is lazy when he is drunk. Yu Shu don't report the rush to climb the city, and the new boy is a young boy with crescent eyebrows..."

Jiang Cai walked up behind him and kicked Ma Shilong to the ground.

"Ouch! Which hozen...will...general."

"There will be a war tomorrow, go to sleep."

"No, there will be a war tomorrow, tell the brothers some strange things, for entertainment..."

"roll."

The rumors about Jia Sidao's love affairs have not been spread for a day or two, some are true and some are false.

Their troops who conquered Shu belonged to the Jia party, even after hearing these rumors, they only admired Duke Pingzhang for his strength.

Jiang Cai didn't like this kind of atmosphere in the army, but for the time being, he didn't realize that there was something wrong.

He was still busy with military affairs, and when it was dawn, he led the troops on the warship to attack Qutang Pass.

~~
At sunrise, on Kuilong Mountain, Sun Huchen watched the warships march westward.

The wind blew his red cloak, making him even more majestic.

His eyes were a little dark.

Others only think that he is worried about the war, but no one understands his romance and melancholy.

After a long time, someone rushed from a distance in a hurry.

"General, it's not good..."

Sun Huchen turned his head and saw that it was one of his confidants, so he waved his hand and asked him to come forward and speak.

Hearing that whisper, his pupils widened, and he blurted out: "Impossible!"

"General, it's true...he hanged himself, and his body was frozen when he was found."

"impossible……"

Sun Huchen shook his head, still refusing to believe it, and murmured, "It was Jiang who found out and killed her?"

He exudes a strange self-confidence.

The red cloak is still fluttering. He is a high-ranking general with a dignified appearance. There are countless women in Lin'an who are at his beck and call.

That short and vulgar Jiangcai married a beautiful wife, she must have been grieving in her heart for a long time, seeing him at the Jiangling Ferry in a hurry, the glance she glanced over... must have fallen in love with him, Sun Huchen
"General, people commit suicide..."

"Self...suicide? But...but I told her that I treat her sincerely..."

He said it was impossible, but Sun Huchen knew very well in his heart that this time he used force, but he was forced to death.

"It's over!"

Looking back, he didn't fall in love with that woman at all, but just wanted to prove that Sun Huchen was countless times better than Jiang Cai.

At this time, he had no grief, only frustration and regret.

He grabbed the hem of his confidant's clothes, lowered his voice as much as possible, and gritted his teeth: "Ding Shouweng's fiancée was taken as his own by his old man Ding Daquan and she didn't commit suicide. Look at Ding Qingpi...why did she do this? Why? She Killed me, you know?!"

The guard who was picked up was completely dumbfounded, not understanding what his general was saying inexplicably.

What does this have to do with Ding Qingpi?

"General, this time it's really dead... Besides, a servant of the Jiang family has escaped and is no longer in Zigui City."

"What about people?!"

"Someone has been sent to look for it."

"Find it! Find it!"

Sun Huchen paced back and forth, thinking of Jiang Cai's bravery, his heart became more and more panicked.

However, not long after, the worst news came.

"It's bad! That man boarded Jiang Cai's warship, and the villains couldn't stop him..."

Startled, Sun Huchen swallowed his saliva and looked at the surface of the Yangtze River, completely out of control.

~~
at sunset.

Looking from the mouth of Wu Gorge, the sunset glow spreads over the Yangtze River, forming a magnificent scenery.

Gao Changshou stood at the bow of the boat in armor, his eyes blank.

He was in the midst of a fierce battle with the Song Army's navy today. He was at a disadvantage and planned to retreat to Qutang Pass first, but he didn't know why the Song Army withdrew its troops.

Gao Changshou couldn't figure it out, so he was a little uneasy.Moreover, he had too few troops, so he did not continue to pursue, so he retreated to Baidi City, and asked Jiang Fan to find a way to find out information about Zigui.

Five days later, Jiang Fan finally got the news.

"..."

"I do not believe."

Jiang Fan said: "I didn't believe it at first, but according to our details in Zigui, Sun Huchen occupied and forced Jiang Cai's wife to death. Jiang Cai got the news, so he sent his troops back to question Sun Huchen. Sun Huchen accused Jiang Cai of fighting." Unwilling to use his life, Jiang Cai raised his knife to kill Sun Huchen..."

When Jiang Fan said this, he felt uncomfortable with Gao Changshou's idiot-like eyes, so he lowered his head.

"Aren't you joking with me? Isn't that the leader Jia Sidao personally picked?"

"Not joking."

"Is this how the battle is fought?"

Gao Changshou still didn't believe it.

What he saw in his life was Kublai Khan's expedition to Dali thousands of miles away, what he experienced was going north to the enemy's territory and going through life and death, and what he heard was the heroic struggle of the soldiers and people in Sichuan and Shu.

Even the Mongolian army has always been going all out to conquer the world.

He couldn't accept such a ridiculous battle, and even felt humiliated.

Jiang Fan was very serious, and said: "I didn't lie to Marquis Yue. Right now, Sun Huchen has led his troops and fled back to Jiangling, leaving Jiang Caibu alone to guard Zigui..."

Gao Changshou couldn't understand the situation.

He had fought Jiang Cai before, and knew that the other party was a reputable man. It was hard to imagine how angry Jiang Cai was when he encountered such a thing.

He took a few steps and asked, "Since this is the case, Jiang Cai is willing to join?"

"Sent someone to test it a little bit, but he probably didn't want to."

"Why?"

"This..." Jiang Fan said, "Maybe I haven't considered these yet."

Gao Changshou fell silent, picked up a letter that had just been delivered from Chang'an, and read it.

He looked down for a long time, and the thoughtful look in his eyes became more and more intense.

Finally, Gao Changshou raised his head to look at Jiang Fan, hesitating for a moment, hesitating whether the head of the Public Opinion Department who always gave him strange information was reliable.

"You find a way, I want to see Jiang Cai..."
