Lu Xiaoyou strode like a shooting star and rushed to the lobby.
A general like him, who had followed Li Xia for a long time, was not as polite as the foreign ministers when they saw Li Xia. He just raised his fist and reported it immediately.
"Your Majesty, the general led his troops to pursue Ali Hague to Tianzhu Mountain. However, when the Jingmen Army let the Yuan army pass, they blocked the general. Because the general only had more than a thousand horses, he did not dare to fight the Song army."
"Have you sent a horse to inform the Jingmen Army in advance?"
"Yes." Lu Xiaoyou said angrily: "In my opinion, the Song Army has colluded with the Yuan Army. I was afraid that after negotiating for peace, I would go back on my word and want to harm Your Majesty, so I rushed back to retaliate."
Li Xia stood up and took a few steps, seemingly surprised, but also as expected.
Turning his head, he saw Lu Xiaoyou's chest rising and falling, obviously very angry, so Li Xia chuckled lightly.
"It's not that Song Ting wants to go back on his word. If you think about it from another angle, if Kublai Khan is in Ezhou today and we want to cross the Song Dynasty to annihilate Kublai Khan, do you think Song Ting will stop us? Knife."
"They can't stop us."
"They can't stop the Yuan army either." Li Xia said: "Look, the Song court treats me and Kublai Khan the same way."
"But..." Lu Xiaoyou said, "But Kublai Khan is a foreign enemy."
"I am also a foreign enemy, otherwise what would I be? An internal thief of Zhao Song? Isn't it that we are fighting this war to become Zhao Song's foreign enemy?"
After Li Xia finished speaking, he patted Lu Xiaoyou on the shoulder and said: "As a general, you must calmly stand in the enemy's position and think about it, so that you can judge the enemy's possible reaction. You cannot make wishful thinking and stand in your own position.
What do you think the enemy should do?"
"Yes, I finally understand. Then Ali Hague."
"No need to chase." Li Xia walked in front of the map and said: "Ali Hague was able to cross the Han River because he must have had a tacit understanding with Lu Wenhuan and carefully discussed his withdrawal route."
"yes."
Lu Xiaoyou stepped forward and gave a more detailed report.
It was completely dark when he left. Holding his helmet in one hand and holding the reins in the other, he rode towards the barracks outside the city.
On the road, I smelled the smell of blood that had not yet dissipated, and the anger in my heart suddenly came up again.
Lu Xiaoyou was from Shu. When he was born, Sichuan and Shu had already been massacred by the Mongolian army.
The Song Dynasty was always like this. The people were brutally massacred by foreign tribes, but they would always beg for peace. No matter how little it cost to seek peace, those who died would not be able to survive, and the pain of losing relatives and friends would never be erased.
After walking half a street, Lu Xiaoyou tightened the reins, turned over and dismounted, and said to the two soldiers behind him: "Pee, don't follow me with a knife."
After walking for a while into the alley, he found a darkest place to stand, and began to prepare to pee.
It was difficult to take off his armor, so he stood for a while.
But there were a few people coming from the other side of the alley, like a few drunk people, making noisy noises all the way.
"Ugh!y."
"Changqi drank too much, please help me."
"Don't pull me, I haven't finished yet... The Song Dynasty is unfortunate. There are barbarians raging outside, and Li Xia's rebellion inside. Every family is in chaos, and everyone is in danger!"
"Hush, be quiet, you didn't notice that this city is full of dog rebels."
"What are you afraid of? Li Ni, the dog thief, still wants to win people's hearts. Haha, didn't you listen to Brother Chang Qi? Mr. Cao Chuang saw Li Ni today. He is pretentious and hypocritical."
"Bah! I hate these people who deceive the world and steal their reputation the most. If they are really capable, why not go north and restore the Central Plains? They have to go down the river) to sneak attack on the old master without declaring war. It is extremely shameless."
"Pity the elders in Jiangling City!"
f.....
When Lu Xiaoyou heard this, he pulled up his pants, turned around and walked towards the alley.
"You losers."
In the darkness, he greeted the scholars, stood still with his armor in one hand, and said: "When someone died in Jiangling City, you didn't scold Ali Hague or Chen Yi? Instead, you scolded His Majesty and the soldiers guarding Jiangling City.
?”
"Who?"
Only then did a scholar ask, and immediately another drunken scholar responded: "He's a weakling who surrendered to the rebels."
"I think you are weaklings!"
"Why are we just scolding?! The imperial court has already negotiated peace with Meng Yuan. If Li Ni hadn't rebelled for military glory, how could Jiangling have such a catastrophe?!"
Lu Xiaoyou couldn't understand why these people thought that they would not attack Meng Yuan again after making peace with him. He also couldn't understand how they bullied the weak and feared the strong. He just found it incredible.
But he has always been calm, and the fact that he adheres to military discipline and orders when fighting is also related to his gentle and dull character.
At this time, he also hoped that he, a rough man who grew up in the countryside of Sichuan and Sichuan, could enlighten the people in front of him who had read poetry and books.
"It was the Song army that sent the Yuan army to Jiangling."
Before he finished speaking, the other party already retorted.
"If the rebels hadn't destroyed the Xiangfan defense line, how could the Yuan army have entered Jiangling City?!"
"When Li Ni was in Hanzhong, how much food did the imperial court give him? It was all used to bombard Jiangling City, right?! Knife."
f.....
Lu Xiaoyou suddenly became more angry.
It is rare for an honest person who is not angry to get angry, but it is more terrible than when some people who usually have a hot temper get angry.
When one of the people on the opposite side came closer, he raised his finger and pointed at him, saying: "I tell you, Jiangling City suffered this tragedy because of the rebels..."
"Bang! y."
Lu Xiaoyou suddenly lifted his helmet and smashed it over.
He was poor at speaking, so when faced with these words, he could only respond with the movements of his hands.
There was a "bang" sound, and one of the opponents was hit with a bloody head and fell immediately.
Some people wanted to fight back, but when they touched the armor on Lu Xiaoyou's body, they were so shocked that they almost woke up from the wine.
Then there was a burst of howling like ghosts and wolves.
"He, he, he is a rebel!"
"He killed someone!"
"Killed..."
The night is already deep.
After Li Xia met Lu Xiaoyou, he had to meet Shi Jun again.
"Your Majesty wants to use Jiangling as a port to attract the manpower and material resources of Zhao and Song Dynasties. If Jiangling has not returned to his heart, how can he do it? There are many ways to make Jiangling return to his heart, but the fastest and easiest is to recruit great scholars."
Shi Jun obviously heard about Li Xia asking Wang Yinglin and Zhou Mi to leave in advance, so he couldn't help but give him a few more reminders.
"I dare to say that this move is like the literati in the north asking Kublai Khan to be the 'great master of Confucianism'. Even if it is just a show, it will have miraculous effects."
"I understand that I am recruiting them."
"I dare to think that Your Majesty is not sincere."
Li Xia couldn't help but laugh and said casually: "It's not like worshiping Buddha, how can you be sincere?"
"Your Majesty is not sincere." Shi Jun was as stubborn as a child.
At this moment, another close servant came forward and reported to Li Xia in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there was an accident in the city just now, and General Lu injured someone."
Li Xia was also a little surprised. Then he glanced at Shi Jun and asked someone to tell him in front of him.
This matter will obviously affect the recruitment of famous scholars that Shi Jun is most concerned about.
Unexpectedly, Shi Jun listened and thought for a long time, but he didn't seem to think it was a bad thing.
"I ask your Majesty to punish General Lu in front of Wang Yinglin and Zhou Mi."
"The matter is still unclear. Perhaps the other party took advantage of the large number of people to attack Lu Xiaoyou?"
"Your Majesty can comfort General Lu in private."
"I understand what you mean, let me think about it again."
Shi Jun was stunned for a moment, bowed and said, "Maybe my advice is not appropriate."
"I understand that Shi Qing is an old man who wants to seek the country." Li Xia said, "It's just me."
At this point, he did not say any more. He just waved his hand and asked Shi Jun to retreat, and then the valet also withdrew.
It wasn't until there was no one else in the hall that Li Xia said something to himself.
"It's just that I haven't learned to be a good emperor yet."
Li Xia has recently become increasingly aware that his character is not suitable for becoming a standard emperor.
His temperament is too straight.
He is willing to change, wants to achieve great things by any means necessary, and is willing to get close to the thick and dark emperor.
But he didn't do it well, and he couldn't do it like Cao Cao did to welcome Xu You.
Regardless of whether Cao Cao really valued Xu You, at least he showed enough sincerity at the moment when he stepped back to greet him.
Li Xia didn't expect that he couldn't do it well.
Speaking of which, he had gone through so many ups and downs along the way, and what he encountered this time was not a big deal, and there was nothing difficult at all.
It would be no problem even if all those famous Confucian scholars were tied up and taken back to Sichuan.
But because he became emperor for the first time, Li Xia lost a little bit of his previous self-confidence.
And self-confidence is one of his most advantageous weapons.
He patted his forehead, stood up and walked to the back office. Several attendants came up to him outside the door and were about to speak.
"No," Li Xia said directly, "No matter what happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
Everyone else was stunned for a moment.
You should know that Li Xia has always been diligent, but this is the first time that he has left them to rest when he has unfinished business.
But no one dared to say anything, leaving His Majesty to have his own way.
When he was about to reach Yan Rong's residence, Li Xia turned around the corridor and suddenly heard someone shouting.
