Chapter 149: Broken halberds and newly buried bones·XVIII

In the winter of the fifth year of Jingding, Zhao Yun died, and the crown prince Zhao Wei ascended the throne. He was named Lizong in the temple, and the whole country was in mourning.

Xiao Hao could not save his life, and no one in the world was willing to save him.

Zhao Yun reigned for forty years. When he was young, he controlled his desires with morality and was well-known for his teachings. However, in his later years, he indulged in desires and neglected government affairs, which made the government go wrong. Many people believed that he was stupid, and even felt happy that he had brought his own troubles upon himself, and lamented that he had half gains and half losses.

Before his death, he took the opportunity to promote Xiao Hao to the top position of the military career of the Song Dynasty several times. Among all the military generals in the court, no one could surpass Xiao Hao.

This promotion completely pushed Xiao Hao into the limelight, but Xiao Hao also understood that this was the last chance Zhao Yun left for him.

From then on, he no longer had to worry about the military orders that suppressed him in the Song-Mongol war. With a higher rank, he had the most say on the battlefield.

After Zhao He succeeded to the throne, he was even more licentious than Lizong. He appointed Jia Sidao as the Grand Tutor and entrusted him with all the government and military affairs, treating him as the pillar of the country. Jia Sidao saw that Zhao He's IQ was lower than that of ordinary people, so he became even more reckless.

The Mongolian army invaded Sichuan in a big way and went south along the Hanjiang River and Huaishui River to besiege Xiangyang and Yiyang. Jia Sidao was unwilling to go to the battle, so he suppressed the border battle, concealed it, and did not send troops to reinforce, which made Xiangfan and the three passes isolated and helpless, and fell into a dilemma.

Xiao Hao was the first to know the news. He was not in Xiangfan, and Lu Wende was the highest commander in the army. Xiao Hao was concerned about Cangyun and immediately reported to Zhao Xi to request to go to the battle.

However, Jia Sidao was so powerful that he killed all the palace people who discussed the border affairs, and lied to Zhao Xi that the Mongolian army had retreated, and he was determined not to let Xiao Hao leave Lin'an.

Xiao Hao knew that Jia Sidao was deliberately dragging him to death.

But no matter how angry he is, he must restrain the impulse to rush up and kill this man.

Today, Jia Sidao is a wolf that controls the court.

Jia Sidao should not have been in the court, but at this moment, he is indispensable. If he is killed, the country will collapse directly, and there is no need to fight the war.

Even if he wants to kill this man, he must restrain himself.

Force can make people strong, but knowing how to restrain force is the real strength.

In this world, both openly and secretly, there are their own rules. Xiao Hao can ignore his own survival, but he cannot ignore Cang Yun's survival. If you want to survive, you must adapt to these rules.

Even if you are filled with righteous indignation, even if you grit your teeth, even if you go against your inner wishes.

Otherwise, no matter whether it is aspiration or persistence, it will be shattered by the ruthless world.

Only he can walk this road, and only he can bear it.

He built Cangyun with his own hands. Apart from him, no one else in the court would work for the survival of this team.

However, this time, he really couldn't delay it any longer.

Xiao Hao asked for orders overnight, left Lin'an Prefecture without waiting for a reply, and rushed back to Xiangyang.

The border is in danger, and every moment of delay is a loss.

Shi Zhixuan told him that Lu Wende was greedy and afraid of death, and it was Guo Jing and others who put a knife on his neck in Xiangyang that he did not abandon the city and flee. But on the three passes, he was jealous of the rapid rise of the Cangyun Army, and sent the Cangyun soldiers to the front line on the grounds that they were good at fighting, and his own people stayed in Wushengguan City and did not leave.

In order to prevent any accidents, he had followed a group of soldiers to Jiuli Pass, but Cangyun still had 2,000 soldiers in Lu Wende's hands, and he didn't know what to do with them.

When Xiao Hao heard this, his head buzzed.

He still had a few moments of calmness, maintaining the last tight string, and the first moment he landed, he went straight to Lu Wende's tent in Xiangyang.

Smoke rose outside Xiangyang City. As soon as Xiao Hao entered the tent, he saw Huang Rong holding Lu Wende, Guo Jing standing aside with a solemn expression, and Lu Wende's two concubines trembling and crying beside him.

Seeing Xiao Hao, Lu Wende rolled and crawled from Huang Rong to Xiao Hao's feet, crying for help: "General Xiao! You are here! You are finally here! You must discipline these rebels!"

Xiao Hao kicked him away, grabbed his collar and asked: "How many Mongolian soldiers are there? How did you deploy the defense? Where is the Cangyun Army now?"

Guo Jing and Huang Rong were delighted to see Xiao Hao. With Xiao Hao here, everyone felt more confident, and no matter how difficult the battle was, they felt more confident.

Lu Wende hesitated and did not dare to tell the truth. Guo Jing was a loyal and honest man. He took the initiative to tell Xiao Hao, "There are 100,000 people outside Xiangyang City, most of whom came from southern Sichuan and Hanshui. They are stationed in the market outside the city. There are 40,000 garrisons inside the city. The situation of the three passes in Yiyang is unknown, but the roads there are narrow and the number of people should be about the same as in Xiangyang. The garrisons of the three passes are all concentrated in Wusheng Pass, with more than 30,000 people. Jiuli Pass and Pingjing Pass each have 10,000 people."

Xiao Hao frowned. Before he could ask any more questions, there was another round of chaotic shouting outside the city. Lu Wende was so scared that he said quickly, "This, this Mongolian army is coming with great force. Xiangyang can't be defended!"

Xiao Hao threw him to the ground. , he was furious: "Shameless coward!"

He was restless in his heart, he drew out the sword made by Zhao Zhan, pointed at Lu Wende and said word by word: "Where is Cang Yun?"

Lu Wende recognized Xiao Hao's sword, he shuddered in his heart, his whole body shook like a sieve: "General, General!"

Xiao Hao stabbed with a sword, the blade brushed past his neck, and poked a hole in the table behind him, and asked again: "Where is Cang Yun!"

Lu Wende was scared and his face turned pale, he begged for mercy with tears streaming down his face: "I, I saw Cang Yun was a copper wall and iron wall, let them go to Jiuli Pass and Pingjing Pass to resist the main force of the Mongolian army..."

The string in Xiao Hao's head snapped.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the uncontrollable wind of his heart sword ran wild, almost blowing the top off. The tip of the sword was pressed against Lu Wende's head and he shouted, "Lu, Wen, De!"

Guo Jing and Huang Rong were also shocked when they heard the news, but Xiao Hao's heart sword was out of control, and they had to use their minds to resist Xiao Hao's wildly dancing sword energy. Huang Rong realized that their previous judgment was wrong. Xiao Hao was not unable to use the sword, but he had already cultivated to a higher level. He had a sword in his heart instead of a sword in his hand.

Lu Wende kowtowed on the ground, peeing and shitting, begging for mercy while crying, "General, please spare my life! The Cangyun Army is brave and good at fighting. It can delay Xiangfan for a long time--"

Xiao Hao's violent sword energy slammed heavily beside him, making a loud noise.

Lu Wende's teeth chattered, and he finally realized that Xiao Hao really wanted to kill him.

He forced himself to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and defended himself without any confidence, "I, I am a pacification envoy appointed by the court. I have been stationed in Xiangyang for so many years. I have no merits, but I have worked hard--"

Xiao Hao's eyes were red, and he walked towards him step by step.

"Lord Jia is now in a high position of power and is in charge of important military and national affairs. Even His Majesty has to kneel down and greet him! Lord Jia and I have a close personal relationship. If you touch me, you will be against the entire court!"

Xiao Hao turned a deaf ear to him and swung his long sword across the line of dignified anger.

"You can't kill me!"

The voice ended here, and blood splashed on the faces of the two concubines next to him. They screamed in horror with pale faces, and Lu Wende's head rolled down, directly frightening one of them to faint.

Xiao Hao looked at his corpse coldly and shouted, "Lu Wende's command was inappropriate. He was lustful and greedy for money. He allowed the Mongolian army to station troops outside the city, which gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. This was a great mistake that harmed the country! Now I will use the sword of the late emperor to cut off his head to restore the prestige of the army!"

He turned to Guo Jing and said, "Mr. Guo, Xiangyang..."

When Guo Jing heard him calling him, he also knew that the Cangyun Army was in danger at the moment. In order to avoid distracting him, he immediately said, "Don't worry, General Xiao! Xiangyang City will not fall for a while!"

Huang Rong glanced at Lu Wende's corpse and couldn't help saying, "I couldn't bear this dog official any longer. Well done!"

Xiao Hao nodded to Guo Jing, but was unwilling to stay any longer. He turned around and rushed to Pingjing Pass with his great lightness skills.

Shi Zhixuan is in Jiuli Pass, and Pingjing Cangyun is the most dangerous.

Xiao Hao rode his horse non-stop, wishing he could run faster.

The sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dim.

The gates of Pingjing Pass were closed, and this scene seemed familiar.

The guards on the top of the city were sparse, and no one knew how many of the 10,000 guards had run away.

Outside the city gate, there was an airtight wall made of large black iron shields. There were no archers on the top of the city to cover them. Facing the Mongolian army rushing up, they had no choice but to resist desperately and fight hand-to-hand.

This time, no one in Cangyun escaped.

Lu Wuhuan rushed to the front with a shield and sword, and he was injured in many places. He was the youngest in the army, but he was the best martial artist among them.

Xiao Hao felt great pain in his heart, and he didn't dare to look at how many people were left. He roared and fell from the sky, and the sword of his heart and sword energy smashed heavily into the Mongolian army with a shaking earth, smashing a circular gap in it.

His eyes were blood red, and he grabbed Lu Wuhuan's arm and threw him directly into the gang's territory without saying a word.

"General..."

Lu Wuhuan still shouted, and his eyes blurred and he lost the trace of Xiao Hao.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, the wounded Cangyun soldiers fell in from the gate of the gang's territory.

No matter the Song army or the Mongolian army, they were all shocked by Xiao Hao's incredible behavior.

Xiao Hao killed the Mongolian army while throwing the wounded Cangyun soldiers into the gang's territory. The Mongolian army only saw them disappearing in front of them one after another. They didn't know where Xiao Hao came from. They thought he had eaten all the Cangyun without even spitting out the bones.

He was clearly wearing the same black armor as Cangyun, but he didn't distinguish between friend and foe. The Mongolian army was terrified and retreated again and again.

When it came to the fiftieth one, Xiao Hao couldn't fit in.

His eyes were full of bright red. When he found that the gang's territory was full, he threw the person in his hand without hesitation, and threw him directly onto the top of the city.

Xiao Hao took a step forward, and the heart sword flew wildly around him. Every sword cut the neck of the Mongolian army accurately; the shield dance knocked over the enemy in front of him, and every "clang" hit their hearts hard, which was terrifying.

His cheek was cut by a stray arrow. Xiao Hao touched his cheek and felt a wet spot, but his health bar did not drop.

No matter.

The Mongolian army was in chaos, shouting: "Demon! The demon has come!", "Run!"

Xiao Hao moved forward step by step, and no one could stop him.

There were many golden things on the ground. Others could not see the light, but Xiao Hao could.

He walked over, picked them up, and put them in his backpack.

"One... two... three..."

"Thirty-five... thirty-six..."

He walked to a Mongolian soldier holding a Cangyun sword and shield, his eyes were like death, staring at him coldly: "Come back."

The Mongolian soldier was so scared that he sat down on the ground and looked up at him in horror.

Xiao Hao raised his sword and screamed,

"Come back!"

The Mongolian soldier was so scared that he dared not covet Cang Yun's weapons and equipment anymore, and hurriedly threw them down and ran away.

Xiao Hao's eyes were red, and he picked up the shield and sword on the ground and continued to move forward woodenly: "Thirty-seven..."

The battlefield in front of him was full of the sound of fleeing, but behind him was extremely quiet.

The Cang Yun soldiers standing under the city were all silent, looking at the violent Xiao Hao, tears welling up in their eyes.

Their general is back.

The author has something to say: Take a shot of cardiotonic first, and you will be safe and sound√

_(:з」∠)_ Dajiji is already afraid of you crying and making trouble...

The lines of this world have been set long ago. Haohao is very stubborn and always wants to take care of everything by himself. This is already the seventh world, and he must grow up. He can be arrogant, but when he is arrogant, he should also consider himself, consider whether he can actually trust others with his back, and consider those who are worried because of his stubbornness in being independent. Don't always silently carry all the things by yourself and bury everything in your heart.

The more Haohao cares about people and things, the more he can't speak. Many people should have realized this. He can talk a lot about other people's affairs, but he is always very tolerant about his own affairs.

It is not easy to open his heart. He is a person who habitually holds up the world for others, but he cannot be strong forever. Dajiji hopes that he can learn to face it with the people he cares about, instead of always standing alone and arrogantly at the top.

The system is also a good system. The good baby has been helping Haohao. Don't black it! The system of Dajiji's family is powerful and pampers the host! !

What are you crying for... When you cry, I want to cry too... QvQ嘤
