051. Raise the front again (six)

This has passed two days.

Outside the palace city, Zhang Hongfan's army remained as motionless as a mountain, but he only practiced daily to intimidate the palace.

In the palace city, Zhao Dongting ignored it. The soldiers also defended as usual, because Lu Xiufu concealed it, so no one knew about the shortage of food and grass.

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were anxious and wanted Ge Lijun to launch an attack. They had the two of them designed to make the surrendered soldiers of the Yuan army turn against each other and earn credit. However, Ge Lijun suffered the loss of the mutiny of the three armies, but he refused to send troops to attack the city no matter what, and made up his mind to survive until the food in the palace was out of stock.

At sea, Qi Shucai led the warship to hundreds of meters away from the Flying Army and stared at it at all times.

Liu Hongyi led the soldiers to practice on the boat, ignoring him. He always remembered Zhao Dongting's order to keep him from moving.

However, he was also slightly anxious now. Because they only brought three days of food when they set off, and they were about to lose food at this time.

Ge Lijun could have a fleet of ships to deliver food from Leizhou Prefecture, but he didn't. He even thought about whether he would lead his army to fight Qi Shucai's bloody battle and then rob Ge Lijun's grain transport fleet.

But I don’t know what happened. Until sunset, Ge Lijun’s fleet still stopped appearing on the sea.

Liu Hongyi was puzzled in his heart. Logically speaking, the rest of the military horses of Ge Lijun should have been close to being out of food.

He didn't know that in the Leizhou Army Commander's tent, Ge Lijun was more anxious than him at this time.

Ge Li stood in the tent, and the money and grain officials were kneeling in front of him.

He kept asking: "Where is the grain and grass? Why has the grain and grass not arrived yet?"

The officials of several money and grain were unable to answer. They were only responsible for distributing food in the army, and they didn't know why Leizhou Prefecture had not sent food and grass yet.

The military advisor whispered from the side: "Stop being angry, I have sent several waves of scouts, and it should be here soon."

As he was speaking, a shout suddenly sounded outside the door, "Report!"

A scout rushed to the tent in a mess, but fell to the ground because of anxiety.

Seeing this, Ge Lijun's face changed slightly and asked, "Does there be any news coming back? Why has the food and grass been delayed?"

The scout gasped and said, "Sir, things are not going well. Xiliu Ferry Crossing was captured by the enemy, and all the food and grass were robbed."

Ge Lijun's forehead suddenly sweated, his face was pale, and then he said with a strong ventricular vent: "How dare you pretend to report military information? The enemy troops were besieged by our army in the palace. Where did the enemy troops come from at Xiliu Ferry?"

The scout replied: "Yes, it is the banner of the Song army. The flag is inlaid with words."

"arts……"

Ge Lijun suddenly collapsed on the ground, his face turned pale, and he closed his eyes slightly and said, "My Leizhou is over..."

The military advisor exclaimed from the side, "Can it be the soldiers of the right prime minister Wen Tianxiang!"

Sweat suddenly broke out on his face.

Then he kept thinking, "Is Prime Minister Wen not in Huizhou? How could he suddenly lead his army to Leizhou?"

But the scout saw with his own eyes that the word "wen" was on the flag, and he also knew that this matter was absolutely true.

There are only a few scattered soldiers left in Leizhou Prefecture to defend the city, which is really dangerous.

At this moment, the military advisor almost felt surrender in his heart, but he knew his identity, so he might be dead if he surrendered.

He turned his head and looked at Ge Lijun who was slumped on the ground.

Ge Lijun was a treacherous hero. Although he collapsed in this great change, he actually got up quickly, and then his face was as gloomy as the water: "Send an order to prepare for war. As soon as the Xu hour arrives, attack the city immediately!"

The military advisor looked at the sky outside and whispered: "Sir, is it too hasty to attack the city in Xu? It's now close to Xu."

Ge Lijun said angrily: "If you don't attack the city and wait until Wen Tianxiang comes to help, do you think we still have a way out?"

The military advisor dared not say anything else, so he hurriedly notified the generals of the army below.

Ge Lijun looked at the scout in the tent and said, "Come on."

The scout was unclear and walked forward.

Ge Lijun suddenly drew his sword and pierced the scout's belly. The scout stared at his eyes, and before his death he was filled with confusion.

"Chew!"

Ge Lijun pulled out his sword and shouted coldly: "Damn the morale of the army, damn it!"

Then he looked at the personal soldiers guarding the commander's tent and said, "This matter cannot be announced, otherwise he will be killed!"

The personal soldiers were all dead soldiers who had followed Ge Lijun for many years. They were extremely loyal to him and immediately agreed to the promise.

Of course, if they were not so loyal, Ge Lijun would not be able to let them live. He also knew that once this matter spread, the Leizhou army, which had already been unstable in the military, would inevitably mutiny.

Just as the personal army was asked to drag the scout's body out, Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng came together again.

The two of them had nothing to do these two days and always ran to Ge Lijun's handsome tent and urged him to attack the city.

Seeing them, Ge Lijun thought of the surrendered soldiers in the city, and finally felt some hope in his heart, and said with a smile: "Shuai Zhang, is Li Shuai here to urge our mansion to attack the city again?"

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were slightly stunned, and then Zhang Hongfan said, "What the hell is to say about the magistrate, but are you planning to attack the city?"

Ge Lijun nodded and chuckled, "I have sent orders to attack the city at the time of Xu, and I am preparing to send people to notify you."

He didn't dare to show any panic, for fear that Zhang Hongfan would be wrong. If they escaped, it would be really difficult to break the city.

Ge Lijun thought to himself, "If they run away, they can still go back to the Yuan Dynasty. If I run away, where can I go?"

Wen Tianxiang was famous in the Southern Song Dynasty. He knew that the little force of Leizhou Prefecture could not stop him.

Now Ge Lijun only wants to fight back. If he can capture Emperor Song and flee to Lin'an with Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng, although Leizhou is gone, with Emperor Song in his hands and being appreciated by Emperor Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty, he will definitely make a comeback.

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng did not doubt that they were with him, and they were still surprised.

Li Heng said repeatedly: "Then I will go back and prepare now. When Ge Zhizhou attacked the city, we were beating the drums on the side to cheer."

Ge Lijun smiled and said, "Are you two just beating drums to cheer? The surrendered soldiers in the city..."

Li Heng smiled like Maitreya Buddha again, "Don't worry about this magistrate. Zhang Shuai and I still have some prestige in the army."

As they said that, they didn't even enter the commander's tent and walked back directly.

Because they didn't know about Wen Tianxiang's troops coming to Leizhou, they sincerely planned to help Ge Lijun conquer the city.

When the military advisor returned to the tent, Ge Lijun sat behind the desk, squinting his eyes in a daze.

The military advisor walked over and asked, "Sir, do you want to send someone to summon General Qi to lead his army up the mountain?"

"Need not."

Ge Lijun shook his head and said, "He still needs to restrain the rebel Liu Hongyi. If he leads his army and Liu Hongyi also leads his army to attack our rear, the situation will be even worse."

The military advisor wanted to flatter him when he heard this, but he thought of the current situation and gave up. He was afraid that the flattery would hit the horse's legs.

As the hour of Xu approached, the Leizhou army was Dinghai, defeating the enemy's armies, and the army and horses led by Ge Lijun and Zhang Hongfan's five thousand yuan army all walked out of the tent to gather.

Su Liuyi, who was guarding the city wall on the south, and Su Quandang's uncle and nephew, hurriedly asked the soldiers to be on guard and sent someone to report the situation to Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting was in the bedroom with Le Wuhehe. When he heard the imperial guards coming to report Ge Lijun to prepare to attack the city, he was overjoyed, "Here we finally come!"

Le Chan asked in confusion, "Master, why are you so happy when the enemy is preparing to attack?"

Zhao Dongting smiled proudly and said, "What I am talking about is not the enemy's arrival, but our reinforcements have arrived in Leizhou!"

Now even Li Yuanxiu was puzzled, "Your Majesty, where did our army come from reinforcements?"

Zhao Dongting said: "I have already asked Wen Tianxiang to lead his army to serve the king."

Li Yuanxiu was slightly stunned, and then said in surprise: "Is it the superstition you wrote to Prime Minister Wen in mid-July?"

He was watching Zhao Dongting write it next to him, but he didn't know the content. Zhao Dongting couldn't write some words, so he asked him.

“That’s right.”

Zhao Dongting said: "If the king is not a minister, how can I guard against him?"

After saying this, Zhao Dongting couldn't help but feel secretly glad that Ge Lijun did not immediately surrender to the Yuan Dynasty. Following Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng came to attack the Imperial Island. Otherwise, even if there were landmines such as landmines, the Imperial Palace would not be able to defend it.

Li Yuanxiu was shocked next to her, "The emperor is young, but he is a clever idea..."

Zhao Dongting refused to comment and said, "Ge Lijun rushed to attack the city, so he must know that Wen Tianxiang's army had arrived. Humph, as long as our army holds up his attacks for a few waves, and when Wen Tianxiang leads his army to arrive, his Leizhou army will be in chaos! At that time, I will take the life of this traitor!"

What he said was full of energy.

Li Yuanxiu just praised her, but didn't know that Zhao Dongting actually had the intention of deliberately showing off Le Chan.
