"Repaying merit to a certain person is just for my own official career?! The soldiers under my command abandoned their families and careers, went from Jinghu to Sichuan and Sichuan, and fought to the death without even a penny of pension. How can they afford to support their families?!"
It was okay if Yu Xing didn't mention it, but when he did, Xiang Shibi became angrier the more he talked about it.
"Whenever there are dangerous battles or fierce battles, they will charge forward. Whenever there are rewards for merit, the Lu family army will do their part. But who is not the son of father and mother? Which bones by the Wuding River are not the people in his family's little dream?!"
Yu Xing said: "General Xiang, I am not telling you this..."
Xiang Shibi has begun to disarm.
Yu Xing shook his head, his eyes full of disdain, and said: "In any case, it is against the rules of the officialdom to overstep the rules..."
"despair."
Xiang Shibi threw the armor on the ground.
His middle coat was still stained with blood and full of patches.
"Xiang has donated all his family property and raised troops to fight against the invaders. If General Yu thinks that I am greedy for power, I will leave my words here today and receive a penny reward from the court in the future, so that I will die badly..."
Yu Xing glanced at Xiang Shibi's shabby middle coat, unmoved at all, but a smile appeared on his face.
"General Xiang, I'm serious. I have to compete with you for credit. What I want to say is that Liu Zheng didn't go to the table with you, right? You claimed credit for Liu Zheng, but he hid behind you..."
Xiang Shibi smiled.
In the smile is the helplessness of playing the piano.
He and Yu Xing talked passionately, but all Yu Xing could think about was ostracizing his colleagues.
What's the point of saying more.
"General Xiang is a gentleman. I haven't guessed the thoughts of people like Liu Zheng, but I know he uses you as a spearman." Yu Xing took a step forward and said: "Bazhou City cannot be captured. Who is the fault of this battle?
General Xiang also saw it with his own eyes."
Xiang Shibishi didn't want to discuss this during the war and shook his head.
Yu Xing was surprised and asked: "General Xiang, do you want to share the joys and sorrows with the Beigui people? These Beigui people have ulterior motives. You have already suffered a loss, and you are still willing to be taken advantage of by them?"
"General Yu." Xiang Shibi said, "How about asking Wu Zhong to talk to you again and attack the city with all your strength tomorrow?"
Yu Xing raised his finger and pointed at him, sighing.
"Even now, I still have expectations for Liu Zheng... Oh, General Xiang, you!"
The next moment, someone opened the curtain and walked into the big tent.
Yu Xing looked up and saw that it was Liu Zheng, and his expression turned ugly.
"Liu Wuzhong! Why are you holding back on attacking the city today?!"
Liu Zheng responded with a calm expression: "I figured that Brother Mo was about to lead his troops, and it would be useless to attack Bazhou City again. If we really want to block the Mongolian army's retreat, it would be better for me to take a detour to Micang Road and set up an ambush."
"Self-righteous!" Yu Xing yelled angrily, "Should I listen to you or to the commander-in-chief?!"
"In a war, should we win or lose?"
Yu Xing strode forward, raised his hand and pointed at Liu Zheng's nose, turned his head and said to Xiang Shibi: "General Xiang, you saw this person..."
"puff!"
Blood spattered on Xiang Shibi's face...
However, Liu Zheng suddenly took action and stabbed Yu Xing through the neck with a dagger.
Xiang Shibi just watched Yu Xing slowly fall to the ground.
Then, he saw Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng grinned, his eyes full of joy, and straightened his back, looking much more high-spirited.
"Don't shout, General Xiang, don't you hate him? Don't you hate Lu Wende?"
"Wu Zhong, you can't..."
"General, how about following my surrender?"
"Come here! Liu Zheng has rebelled!"
At the same time, killing cries could be heard outside the tent.
In the flash of lightning, Xiang Shibi turned around to pick up the knife on the ground.
"puff!"
A dagger stabbed him in the back.
Xiang Shibi lowered his head and saw the blood dripping from the tip of the dagger, dripping over his patched middle coat...
"I can't help you." Liu Zheng whispered, "I have a clear conscience for rebelling against the Song Dynasty, but I can't help you. But as an enemy country, we had no choice but to do it..."
Following these words, Liu Zheng stretched out his hand and closed Xiang Shibi's eyes.
"Do it!"
…
When the sound of killing rang out in the Song Army's camp, Liu Yuanzhen was sitting in Liu Zheng's tent, slowly drinking wine.
After drinking the sixth cup, Liu Zheng walked in and tossed the head in his hand.
Liu Yuanzhen raised his wine glass to avoid it and said with a smile: "Hey, brother Wu Zhong, please don't splash this thief's dirty blood into my glass."
Liu Zheng smiled.
Hearing Liu Yuanzhen scold Yu Xing's bloody guts gave him great pleasure.
"Zhongju, don't worry. Yu Xing only has a thousand men, and I have already surrounded and killed them all." Liu Zheng sat down and said, "Xiang Shibi's more than two thousand people already deeply hate Lu Wende. Today, they have exhausted their siege.
It has fallen."
When he said this, his face became a little sad and he said: "Except for dozens of people who committed suicide and followed Shibi."
Liu Yuanzhen then poured the wine in his hand on the ground.
"Respect to the public."
"Why does Zhongju respect him?"
"A loyal and righteous man is respectable even if he is an enemy."
Liu Zheng looked at the wine stains on the ground in silence.
Liu Yuanzhen poured another glass of wine, looked at Liu Zheng solemnly, and said, "Brother Wu Zhong is also a loyal and courageous man in my eyes."
After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Liu Zheng waved his hand and sighed: "I am not loyal and courageous."
"In terms of the interests of the family and the country, Brother Wu Zhong abandoned the dark and turned to the light, and his loyalty will last forever."
After Liu Yuanzhen finished speaking, he pointed to himself and said: "You asked me earlier why you dared to ride into the camp alone without fear of death? The truth is that the interests of the family and the country are great, and the death of one's body is a small matter."
"The family and country will benefit greatly?" Liu Zheng leaned forward and asked, "Zhong Ju really didn't lie to me?"
Liu Yuanzhen was extremely confident and spoke forcefully, emphasizing their ambitions to Liu Zheng again.
"If you can practice the Chinese way, you can become the master of China."
After he said that, he slowly raised his arm.
Liu Zheng chewed on these words and felt greatly inspired, feeling that the humiliation of the past few years was gone.
His heart was gone, he raised his arm and bumped into Liu Yuanzhen hard.
The two of them crossed their arms and laughed.
"You and I really have the same feelings for each other!"
…
"At this point, I can make it clear to Brother Wu Zhong about many things." Liu Yuanzhen picked up the candlelight and said slowly: "Where to start?"
"Diaoyu City." Liu Zheng said, "I heard that Brother Meng was poisoned to death by King Monan?"
Liu Yuanzhen stopped moving in his hands, pretended to be calm, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu Zhong, where did you hear about this?"
"There are many rumors in the army. It seems that the night Brother Meng died, someone from Meng discovered it."
Liu Yuanzhen's eyes filled with thought, and he muttered: "Not necessarily."
"Not necessarily?" Liu Zheng didn't believe it.
"King Monan will definitely not do this...or it is possible that someone in the Jinlianchuan shogunate arranged it. Can Brother Wu Zhong understand?"
"Of course." Liu Zheng said: "I don't care who killed Brother Meng."
Liu Yuanzhen then said: "According to my speculation, someone from the Jinlianchuan shogunate may have contacted Li Xia, and then the Diaoyu City... Khan... incident happened."
"Sure enough." Liu Zheng said: "Did you design everything?"
"good."
"Li Xia is also from King Monan?"
Liu Yuanzhen was silent for a while, and then he said: "Brother Wu Zhong needs to understand two points. First, the world must be unified by the Great Mongolia. The Mongolian army is so powerful that no one can stop it."
"yes."
"Secondly, the Great Mongol Kingdom must be ruled by King Monan, because he is the only one who recognizes the Han system. The person most threatening to the Khan's throne at the moment is undoubtedly Ali Buge, who is extremely opposed to the Han system."
At this point, Liu Yuanzhen said word by word: "As Han people, we can only support King Monan. This is the only choice and destiny."
Liu Zheng solemnly clasped his fists and said: "It's my destiny."
"That's it." Liu Yuanzhen said, "In this case, it doesn't matter who Li Xia is..."
Liu Zheng said: "Then, he must be killed."
Liu Yuanzhen thought so.
He knows that he is the one who currently sees the situation most clearly.
He had already speculated a long time ago that Li Xia was cooperating with King Monan to get rid of the Khan.
Everything that happened afterward was as he expected.
Therefore, Liu Heima was extremely afraid of Li Xia. After withdrawing from Micang Road, Liu Yuanzhen was left behind in Bazhong.
There are two purposes. One is to try to rescue Liu Yuanli and Jia Hou who are still detained in Chengdu by Li Xia. The other is to prevent Li Xia from turning against King Monan after the cooperation with King Monan ends.
Sure enough.
As soon as Brother Meng died, Li Xia took advantage of the situation and began to plot against Hanzhong. He was the one who spread rumors everywhere.
Just a rat!
Then, what Liu Yuanzhen had to do was very simple, cross the river and demolish the bridge, kill people and silence them, and eliminate the hidden dangers left in Shuchuan for King Monan.
He has sent someone to contact Wang Zhongchen.
It is certain that the Gongchang Wang family will definitely support King Monan, and he is still confident that Brother Mo will make the right choice.
Defeating Lu Wende and then annihilating Li Xia with a large army can stabilize the situation in the southwest.
In this way, the Han princes could fully support Monan King to inherit the throne of Khan first... and then establish himself as emperor.
With these thoughts in his mind, Liu Yuanzhen's eyes were full of excitement.
He leaned forward and whispered to Liu Zheng.
"Lu Wende doesn't know that you have rebelled against the Song Dynasty, so he can take the opportunity to kill him."
A sharp look flashed in Liu Zheng's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I have already had this intention..."
On that day, Lu Wende retreated while fighting, evacuated Langzhong, abandoned the navy, and only led the infantry towards Bazhong.
He planned to combine forces with Xiang Shibi and Liu to attack Ba Zhong first and then defend for a few days.
Give that damn Li Xia time to take over Hanzhong...
In Lizhou City, after a tentative advance failed, the uncles and nephews of the Wang family began to shrink their defenses, like a turtle completely retracting into its shell.
Kong Xian looked at the enemy defenses on top of the city, and finally couldn't help but persuade Li Xia: "General, there is really no hope of recovering Hanzhong. To be on the safe side, we should only seek to benefit the state. It is better to let go of Brother Mo.
Please support the commander-in-chief's army?"
"The time has not yet come. General Kong promised to let me think about it again."
"If the general has a plan, can he tell the general first?"
Li Xia finally raised his head from the map and said, "I'm still waiting for some news, so I'll tell you first because I'm afraid General Kong will be disappointed."
Kong Xiandao: "I am already so anxious, how can I still be afraid of being disappointed?"
"Okay, I'm waiting for reinforcements."
Obviously, Li Xia also has people who share his loyalty.
"When I left Diaoyu City, I made an agreement with Generals Wang and Zhang. I believe them..."
