He could only persuade Kublai Khan in this way.

After all, Xiangyang Prefecture has been taken down by the Song army now.

If Kublai Khan could voluntarily give up Xiangyang Prefecture, it would be better than telling Kublai Khan that Xiangyang Prefecture had been taken away. It would not cause too much impact on Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan pondered for a long time, "But who knows when Alao Wading and others will develop the Song army's grenade launcher and Shenlong gun. If Xiangyang Prefecture is abandoned, the Song army will be able to enter the border of our Dayuan from Xiangyang Prefecture to make a big fuss. There is no more heavy city like Xiangyang Prefecture in Nanjing Road."

Brother Sang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He knew that the emperor said this, so he must have felt a little relieved.

He said now: "Your Majesty, what you said is very true. You might as well think so again. Even if you guard Xiangyang Prefecture, our dynasty has returned all the Huainan West Road, Huainan East Road and other roads to the Song Dynasty. After they accept these routes, there are actually many ways to attack our Dayuan, either by sea. Whether we can stop the Song army depends on whether the army can have the strength to deal with the Song army. Whether the Xiangyang Prefecture survives or not is actually not too important. If we do not have the strength corresponding to the Song army, even if they only advance from the sea, we will not be able to stop it."

Kublai sighed without saying a word.

Brother Sang said this to the point.

It is true that Xiangyang Prefecture is a heavy city, but its importance is based on the fact that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides is not much different.

If the Yuan army and the Song army had similar combat capabilities, deploying more than 10,000 powerful soldiers in Xiangyang Prefecture could block the Song Dynasty's 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers. It would constrain many of the Song army's forces.

But now the Song army is too powerful in combat. Even if they are unwilling to try their best to chew the hard bone of Xiangyang Prefecture, they can still drive straight into the Yuan Dynasty from other places.

And then, even if the Yuan Dynasty is Xiangyang Prefecture, it will be useless.

After all, Xiangyang Prefecture is not a barrier in Yuanzhongdu.

If Zhongdu is destroyed and Xiangyang Prefecture is left behind, it will not prevent the Yuan Dynasty from being destroyed.

Seeing Kublai Khan not speaking, Brother Sang slowly said: "Actually, I think it is not without benefits to give up Xiangyang Prefecture. The Song State is still targeting the Xinsong and Dali, which will take a lot of time to completely capture the Xinsong and Dali. And they will return the various places to govern and make them smooth, which will take longer. In addition, Princess Tulando will buy us time after entering the Song Dynasty. If we use some means in the Song Dynasty, the Emperor of Song would not have the energy to launch a war against us within a few years."

There seemed to be a light in his eyes, "And within these few years, I thought we could continue to develop Song arms, and at the same time, we began to make arrangements in our hometown."

Kublai Khan opened his eyes when he heard this, "Are you asking me to deploy a way out?"

Brother San nodded slightly, "Of course this is the worst plan."

But Kublai Khan frowned, "It took us Mongolian warriors decades to finally get out of the grassland. Can I still take the warriors back?"

Brother Sang said: "As long as we can develop the firearms of Song Kingdom, with the courage of our Mongolian warriors, even if we retreat to our old place, we will definitely be able to capture the Central Plains again in the future."

Kublai Khan was silent again.

Finally he sighed, "I am afraid I will live to that time..."

Brother Sang didn't answer this sentence.

After a while, he said again: "Your Majesty, should we continue to defend Xiangyang Prefecture or let the army retreat? Please decide."

What he should say has been finished.

In fact, he may not think so in his heart.

If he could, he would not be willing to give up Xiangyang. After all, Xiangyang is a heavy city, and even if the Yuan Dynasty developed firearms in the future, its strategic position would be very important.

He just has no choice.

Kublai Khan is in poor health now and Xiangyang Mansion has been taken away again, so he can only say so.

Because Brother Sang understood that if he said bluntly that Xiangyang Prefecture was taken away, Kublai Khan's character might really make the army fight the Song army in southern Xinjiang.

And he is not optimistic about the current situation.

The four countries of Song, Li, Yue Li Dynasty, and New Song had more than one million soldiers, and they were defeated by the Song army. How could the hundreds of thousands of soldiers left in their southern border be the opponent of the Song army?

If hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated by the Song army in southern Xinjiang, then the Yuan Dynasty would have lost completely. It is very likely that there would not even be a chance to return to the Mongolian Plateau.

Because in that case, Emperor Song would most likely not rush to govern the newly seized land, but would let the army take over the entire Yuan Dynasty first.

An opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime one!

No emperor would miss the opportunity to have an enemy country's empty military force without taking the opportunity to conquer cities and plunder land.

Brother Sang was thinking in his heart that if the emperor intends to shrink his troops, it would be the best.

If the emperor still wants to defend Xiangyang to the death, he will have to wait until some time to come again, and it is clear that Xiangyang Prefecture has been taken away.

This is an impossible decisive end.

He finally had to let Kublai Khan accept this reality. At this moment, it was just a matter of whether Kublai Khan chose to give up or passively accept the bad news.

Of course, Brother Sang hopes it is the former. Otherwise, there would be no need to spend all his time and talkatively.

"well……"

Fortunately, after sighing softly, Kublai Khan still accepted his suggestion and said, "Then send the order and let the troops from Jingzhaofu Road and other places retreat!"

Brother Sang quickly agreed, "I obey the order."

Simple words.

But this means that the situation of the Yuan Dynasty against the Song Dynasty will change from attack to defense.

Kublai Khan chose to lie dormant.

Then, before Brother Sang left, Kublai Khan said again: "I sent a message to Qi Hongda and asked him to meet Emperor Song. I said that I would marry Princess Mingzhu and use the entire southwest road as a dowry."

Brother San agreed, "Yes."

But I sighed softly in my heart.

The emperor is concerned about his appearance.

Even if you want to give up Jingxi South Road, you must do the openly beautiful things.

How grand is it to marry Princess Mingzhu and use the entire Southwest Road as a dowry?

I'm afraid the whole world will be surprised by the emperor's heroic spirit?

But this was passed to Song Tu, and I don’t know if it would make everyone laugh.

Now that Xiangyang Prefecture has been taken down by the Song army, how can the Yuan Dynasty have the qualifications to use Jingxi Road as a dowry?

Xiangyang Prefecture is the capital city of Jingxi Road. Now Jingxi Road cannot be said to be the surname "Yuan".

Of course, Brother Sang cannot say these words to Kublai Khan.

After receiving the order, he hurriedly left Kublai Khan's bedroom and returned to the Secretariat.

Then send a message to Qi Hongda.

Kublai Khan's will must be passed on to Qi Hongda.

At this time, he should have learned what Qi Hongda, who was taken away by Xiangyang Prefecture, would do. Brother Sang could not predict it and could only hope that Qi Hongda could act according to the opportunity.

It is always necessary to avoid being laughed at by the entire Dayuan.

That afternoon.

Wu Amiao took Ah Hong's family to Changsha City.

After entering the city, he went straight to the palace.

Zhao Dongting was not busy. When he learned that Wu Amiao was asking for a meeting, he immediately asked the eunuch to take Wu Amiao, Ah Hong and others to the imperial study room.

He regarded Wu Amiao as his brother, and even if he was busy, he would probably take time out.

When Wu Amiao and others arrived at the imperial study room, Zhao Dongting was already sitting in the imperial study room.

As soon as Wu Amiao entered the house, he smiled and said, "Have you successfully proposed marriage?"

Wu Amiao nodded happily, and then asked Ah Hong and others to come in.

Ah Hong took the lead in the house.

Her father was behind her, and she walked in slowly.

After entering the house, neither of the couple dared to look up at Zhao Dongting, and immediately fell to the ground, "The Caomin bowed to the emperor."

They were very surprised.

No one had ever thought that Wu Amiao had such a high status in the palace, and the emperor would meet him as soon as he wanted to.

They were afraid that they would never have thought of having the honor to meet the emperor in their entire life.

At this moment, I was naturally excited and complicated.

Ah Hong was stunned.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw Zhao Dongting. As soon as she looked, she felt familiar, and then some memories gradually appeared in her mind.

She remembered that Zhao Dongting had visited the Xiaoxue Dowel House.

This naturally surprised her.

Seeing Ah Hong like this, Wu Amiao was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Ah Hong is so timid, don't be surprised."

Zhao Dongting waved his hand, looked at Ah Hong, and said, "Miss Ah Hong, we're meeting again."

Ah Hong then came to her senses and hurriedly fell to the ground, "The young woman bowed to the emperor."

I was naturally surprised and confused in my heart.

Wu Amiao also saw something was wrong and looked at Zhao Dongting with confusion.
