After listening to Xin Youxuan's question, marshal Zhao Kui replied: "up to now, we can only follow the plan of young Xia Xin in Luoyang, Xijing. We will continue to withdraw South and go to Xiangyang to join Shi Songzhi."
"Marshal, what you said is that although we are alone with more than 3000 people, we have experienced all kinds of disasters. We have the responsibility to let them all return to Song Dynasty in peace and security." Xin Youxuan said.
Female Xia Yang Miaozhen pointed to general tazar and asked, "what should I do with this man?"
"Sister Miaozhen, I once promised to keep him alive. I can't keep my word. When he accompanies us to Xiangyang, I'll let him go." Xin Youxuan replied.
With that, he said to tazar, "as long as we get to Xiangyang successfully, I will release you."
"Mr. Xin, do you mean what you say?" Asked the general.
Xin Youxuan replied: "I have a good answer with you four princes. You are his ministry. Now that I have promised you, I will keep my word."
"You can rest assured of that." He added.
After hearing this, general tachar said, "the general will send you to Xiangyang."
After rectifying the remaining thousands of people and horses, Xin Youxuan continued to withdraw south.
With the magic weapon of general tazar, they don't have to worry about the Mongol pursuit.
But they face another serious problem.
That is to say, after the pursuit of the Mongolian cavalry, the food and grass of the song army retreated to the South had been completely lost, and the places they passed had gone through the chaos of war these years, the fields were deserted, the people were sparse, and they could hardly raise food.
Xin Youxuan and they killed the rest of the horses.
In the end, there was no way, so they used bark to satisfy their hunger.
After walking for a while, it is estimated that it will take another half a month to reach Xiangyang City. However, just eating bark every day, these people's bodies can't stand it.
Xin Youxuan looks at the soldiers with feeble steps, he is worried about whether these people can go to Xiangyang City.
After walking for a long time, I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
Zhao Kui Marshal said to Xin Youxuan: "Young Master Xin, is there someone to deal with us again?"
"Marshal, don't panic. Stay up and have a look." Xin Youxuan said.
With that, he urged his mount to go up.
The horses on both sides ran very fast and soon ran into each other.
Xin Youxuan takes a closer look and turns out to be an acquaintance.
It was Xue Ren, the leader of the beggars' sect.
Xin Youxuan sat on the horse, arched his hand and said, "I've seen you."
"Good nephew, don't be too polite." Old hero Xue Ren tells Xin Youxuan.
"Old master, why are you here?" Xin Youxuan asked.
Old hero Xue Ren smiles and replies, "of course, it's food for you."
The disciples of the beggars' sect are all over the world. Although it is sparsely populated here, there are still some disciples of the beggars' sect who see Xin Youxuan's thousands of people going south.
Naturally, the old leader of Xue Ren knows the current predicament of Xin Youxuan and his party.
He asked the disciples of the beggars' sect to collect some food, which he escorted himself. When he came here, he met Xin Youxuan.
Xin Youxuan said to Xue Ren, "old gang leader, you are really sending charcoal in the snow."
"If we don't have these grains, thousands of us will starve to death." He added.
Two people with grain team, came to Zhao Kui there.
Marshal Zhao Kui and old leader Xue Ren of the beggars' sect know each other. When he heard that old leader Xue Ren had brought food, he was also very happy.
After a discussion, they decided not to leave today. They had a good meal here and had a good rest.
When people eat, they feel refreshed.
The next day, they marched much faster than before.
They walked a few days and finally saw Xiangyang City.
Xin Youxuan will order the sergeant to take general tazar to his front and say to him: "general, you can go back."
With that, the sergeant brought him a horse and a bag of dry food.
"Thank you, Mr. Xin. You keep your promise." General tazar said to Xin Youxuan.
He got on the horse and ran away.
The wise master Hong Yin said, "brother Youxuan, this general tazar is a big trouble for us."
"In the future, I will certainly lead Mongolian cavalry to invade your song dynasty." She added.
Xin Youxuan listened to the wisdom of the words, asked: "do you want me to kill general tazar?"
"It's good for you to kill this man." Wisdom reveres the red hidden way.
Xin Youxuan replied: "if we kill general tazar at this time, we will have no face to see Kublai Khan again in the future."
"If you don't kill general tazar, you will lose yourself." Wisdom reveres the red hidden way.Female Xia Yang Miaozhen was worried that they would quarrel over this matter. She said, "well, people have already left. Don't argue."
"We'd better hurry to Xiangyang City." And then, again.
When Xin Youxuan arrived at Xiangyang City full of hope, they saw that the gate of Xiangyang City was closed. On the wall of the city, the soldiers stood with swords, guns, bows and arrows. They looked like facing the enemy.
"Depending on the situation, Xiangyang does not welcome us very much." Wisdom reveres the red hidden way.
Marshal Zhao Kui said: "Xiangyang is located in the front line. They are naturally nervous when they see thousands of people coming suddenly. When Marshal Zhao Kui comes forward and yells at them, they will explain the situation."
With that, he ran his horse forward and yelled at it.
As soon as he came out, the system of Xiangyang made Shi Songzhi really come out.
"Mr. Shi, I'm Zhao Kui, the commander of the Tokyo garrison. I'm going to withdraw here today. Please open the gate and let us in." Zhao Kui Dao.
He was satisfied with the Xiangyang system on the city wall. Shi Songzhi immediately opened the city gate and welcomed him with a smile. To his surprise, Shi Songzhi began to curse: "Zhao Kui, you soft bone, you took refuge in the Mongols, and now let me open the city gate."
"I'm afraid if you open the gate as you said, the Mongolian cavalry will rush into Xiangyang City." He added.
He said that, but it is not groundless.
It turns out that recently there is a widely spread news in Xiangyang City that marshal Zhao Kui has been surrounded in Luoyang, the western capital, and has taken refuge in the Mongolian Khanate.
The power of the Mongols is known by Shi Songzhi. Today, marshal Zhao Kui leads thousands of people to Xiangyang. He doesn't believe that marshal Zhao Kui has the ability.
Coupled with the rumors in Xiangyang City, he said these words to marshal Zhao Kui under the city.
Marshal Zhao Kui said to Shi Song, "Mr. Shi, you misunderstood me as marshal Ben."
"We successfully broke through the siege from Luoyang, the western capital. It was Quan Zicai, the pioneer, who took refuge in the Mongols, not Ben dashai." Marshal Zhao Kui said again.
Xiangyang Zhi Shi Song said: "the pioneer quanzi is your confidant, you two can be said to be inseparable from each other. Now he has taken refuge in the Mongolian khanate, but you don't. I'm afraid no one will believe this except you."
"Leading us out of the encirclement is the first master in the world, the young master of the old headmaster Xin Ran." Zhao Kui said.
Shi Song's way: "you said this person and the Mongolian Khanate a lot of powerful brothers, maybe you surrendered to the Mongolian khanate, is this person to lead the line."
One of them is above the city wall, the other is sitting on the mount. Their voice is naturally loud, otherwise, they can't hear each other.
When the Wise Master heard that Shi Songzhi, the governor of Xiangyang, had slandered his brother Youxuan, he was very angry. He urged his horse to come to the bottom of the city wall and scolded, "you dog official, you are so rude. It's strange that I won't kill you."
With that, Hongyin, the wise master, pulled out her sword.
Shi Songzhi on the wall saw that the wise man took out his weapon, so he immediately ordered the archers on the wall to shoot their arrows.
The wise master Hongyin is very angry, so he will launch his lightness skill and go up to the castle. Behind the Xin Youxuan see greatly surprised, quickly stopped her, back to a safe place.
"The city wall is so high, people are shooting arrows below. You're not going to die?" Xin Youxuan asked.
Hongyin, the wise venerable, replied, "Shi Songzhi is such an old thing. I just want to kill him."
"Then you can't risk your own life." Xin Youxuan said to the wise master Hong Yin.
He added: "we'd better discuss with Marshal Zhao Kui and see what to do."
After the garrison was set up, several of them came down immediately to discuss the matter.
Xue Ren, the old leader of the beggars' sect, said to the people, "this is really strange. I started from Xiangyang City to meet you. At that time, Shi Songzhi, the governor of Xiangyang, also said that I was sharing my worries for the Song Dynasty. When I get you here, I will give you a warm welcome."
"Could it be Jia Sidao of Lin'an, the traitor The female Xia Yang Miaozhen asked.
After listening, marshal Zhao Kui replied, "it shouldn't be."
"If Jia Sidao and Shi Songzhi conspire to deal with us, they can stop old leader Xue from transporting us food and grass. If there is no food and grass, we will starve to death on the way. In that case, they can get rid of us without any effort." He added.
Xin Youxuan then said, "the words of dashai are very reasonable. Although Jia Sidao is very bad, it is unlikely that he will do it."
"Is it something that happened in Xiangyang that caused Shi Songzhi to change his view of us?" He asked again.
Marshal Zhao Kui said: "it's very possible that the officials of the Mongolian Khanate are very smart. They are very likely to arrange people to make a dissension plan in Xiangyang City.""It's very easy for Hao jingzhineng to do that." Xin Youxuan said.
Marshal Zhao Kui said, "if that's the case, we need to send people to Xiangyang City to explain to Mr. Shi Songzhi clearly, so as to prevent him from being cheated by the Mongols."
"In the eyes of the venerable, if we try to kill Shi Songzhi, we will save the trouble." He added.
Xin Youxuan said to the wise master, "sister Hongyin, don't talk nonsense."
"If you do that, it's tantamount to killing each other. It's just the treacherous plan of the Mongolian Khanate. It's definitely not going to work." He added.
Red Yin, the wise master, said impatiently, "this is not good, that is not good. Let's just disband the remaining thousands of song army and let them go home to farm."
"Sister, don't worry. We will find a way." Female Xia Yang Miaozhen.
With that, she said, "in my opinion, now we will retreat the thousand song army ten miles and send someone to sneak into Xiangyang City at night to find out the reason why Shi Songzhi changed his attitude and persuade him to change his view and let us enter Xiangyang City."
"What General Yang said is true." After listening, marshal Zhao Kui nodded and said.
He added, "but who do we arrange to enter the city?"
"If the marshal trusts me, I'll let the last general go." The heroine Yang Miaozhen replied.
Here, marshal Zhao Kui hasn't answered yet, and Xin Youxuan answers, "no!"
"It's better to go down, sister Miaozhen." Xin Youxuan said.
Female Xia Yang Miaozhen said, "Young Master Xin, don't argue with elder sister Miaozhen."
"It's not for me to argue with you. Sister Miaozhen, if you stay here, you can help the commander deal with the affairs in the barracks. After all, some of the soldiers here are under your command. It will be much more convenient for you to arrange some things." Xin Youxuan said.
Marshal Zhao Kui said: "what Xin Shaoxia said is very reasonable. General Yang, you'd better stay here and help him deal with the affairs of the barracks. As for the affairs of going to Xiangyang City, there will be Master Lao Xin."
"You're welcome, marshal. I'm a son of the Song Dynasty. I should do that." Xin Youxuan said.
After thinking about it, he said, "since someone has alienated our relationship with Xiangyang, they may come to our camp to make trouble. Old leader Xue will stay in the army to protect the safety of the commander. As for sister Hongyin, you can help sister Miaozhen."
"No, I'm not sure if you go to Xiangyang alone. I have to go with you, so if you have something, you have someone to discuss." Wisdom reveres the red hidden way.
Yang Miaozhen, the heroine, smiles and says to Xin Youxuan, "let Hongyin go to Xiangyang City with you. Otherwise, if she stays in Xiangyang City, her heart will follow you."
"Sister Miaozhen, you know me." After listening to Yang Miaozhen's words, the wise man said gratefully.
Female Xia Yang Miaozhen said: "of course, who let you be my good sister?"
"Well, for sister Miaozhen's sake, I'll take you with me." Xin Youxuan's helpless way.
He also said: "but after entering Xiangyang City, you will listen to me in everything. You are not allowed to act without authorization."
"Brother Youxuan, you can rest assured. I'll listen to you in everything." The wise one Hongyin vomited out his tongue and said.
Xin Youxuan said: "then we will work together at night."
After the discussion, they went to prepare for each other.
