In Tengzhou, there are three tributaries, namely Mengjiang, Rongjiang and Huanghuajiang.

Among them, the section where Rongjiang passed through Xiujiang Town was named Xiujiang separately.

Because Rongjiang and Huanghua River gather at the diversion of Yujiang, there is a zone close to the delta at the source of the two rivers.

The land here is fertile and can be said to be the most famous and prosperous place in Tengzhou. However, there are only a lot of people now.

At this time, in the hazy night, there were countless white tents on this fertile land, and many bonfires were burning.

These bonfires are in harmony with the stars in the sky.

Many flags fluttered in the wind, appearing and disappearing in the bonfire fire. The military flags are inlaid with various auspicious animals.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, except for the four armies of Tiankui, Tiangang, Tianji and Tianxian, all gathered here at this time. They were divided into eleven army headquarters, and there were twenty-seven divisions and units under them, all of which were about a thousand people.

These troops were originally stationed in villages and towns south of the Yujiang River, but after receiving the order from Zhao Dongting, they hurriedly gathered here.

But it was too late to gather here quickly.

When Zhao Dongting discovered the intentions of the Yuan army, the Yuan army had probably formed an encirclement of Tengzhou. Compared with the Song army, the Yuan army was more proactive.

There were countless bonfires and tents on the other side of the Huanghua River, and more than ten miles south of the Song army camp.

The Yuan army's army on Guangnan West Road, except for the tens of thousands of people guarding Wuzhou and the Monto army beside Xiujiang Town, as well as the almost negligible two thousand soldiers under Song Bitao's command, all gathered here. They formed a triangle shape and completely formed a siege against the Song army.

Zhao Dongting originally intended to let these Song troops retreat to Xiujiang Town, but the retreat route was cut off by the Yuan army more than ten miles south.

Originally, the Yuan army could launch a large-scale attack. More than 100,000 troops attacked from three sides. Even if the Song army had strong firearms, they would have to pay a huge price to break through. However, Princess Mingzhu was suddenly captured, which undoubtedly made the Yuan army dare not act rashly. Commander Boyan and Deputy Commander Yesuer at the same time ordered that anyone who dared to act rashly would deal with it.

Although this made many Yuan army generals extremely puzzled, they were helpless.

And to say that the most angry one is probably Yang Fan.

He offered a siege strategy and temporarily took charge of the army under Yesuer. He thought that this time he could destroy the Song army and win the first prize, and he would no longer have to make a name for himself in the future. Boyan and Yesuer were not allowed to act rashly, which undoubtedly disrupted his wishful thinking.

If it is too late, there will be changes. If you don’t attack the Song army at this time, when will you wait?

But he had just arrived under Yesuer's command not long ago. Even though he was sure to cause heavy losses to the Song army, he did not dare to disobey the military order.

Furthermore, even if he wanted to move, the generals of Yesuer under his command might not be willing to listen to him, let alone those generals under Boyan.

This made Yang Fan feel extremely upset these two days. He had cursed Boyan in his heart for many times, and Yesuer was indecisive and unable to achieve great things.

He didn't know about Princess Mingzhu being captured.

In the Delta area, Miao Youli, Jin Hao, Liu Zijun, Jiang Xiu and others originally gathered in the Delta to attack the Yuan army camp in the south and break out. They also felt that it would change later. The later the time, the more solid the Yuan army's encirclement would be. But at this moment, they also received military orders sent from Xiujiang Town, so that they could not break out easily.

This military order was written by Zhao Dongting himself, and the letter did not conceal the capture of Princess Mingzhu.

Jin Hao, Miao Youli and the others immediately knew that the emperor must have planned to use Princess Mingzhu as bargaining chips, so they really had no intention of forcibly breaking through.

They also knew that although they could break out forcibly, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses. And the current Southern Song Dynasty could not withstand such losses at all.

Speaking of which, the current situation between the Song and Yuan dynasties is all in Kublai Khan’s mind.

If he abandons Princess Mingzhu, the two sides will definitely start a war immediately. If he chooses to save Princess Mingzhu, the Song army can return to Xiujiang Town with great swagger, and then the sea is wide and the fish is leaping, and the sky is high and the birds are flying.

The Song and Yuan generals in the Delta were waiting. Boyan and Yesuer in Wuzhou were waiting, while Zhao Dongting and others in Xiujiang Town were waiting.

Therefore, the Song and Yuan shuangshuang confronted each other in such a rather strange state.

The solemn aura of both sides seemed to be able to rush into the other party's military camp, but no one attacked first, and there was not even a tentative small battle.

The capital of the Yuan Dynasty.

Most of them are a place where dragons and tigers are entrenched, and countless Feng Shui masters believe that most of them are a place where dragons are flourishing. Therefore, this city has also been favored by emperors of all dynasties.

From the first Spring and Autumn Period, Yan State was established here, named Ji.

Later in the Liao Dynasty, it was also a subordinate capital, named Yanjing.

Then Jin, it was renamed Zhongdu. Until now, many people still call this city like this.

After the Mongolian destroyed the Jin Dynasty, it occupied Zhongdu and changed its name to Dadu. The city of Dadu is still the most majestic place in the world.

The mountain is not high, but with immortals, it is spiritual. Most of them are not considered majestic and prosperous, but because of the existence of emperors, it is the well-deserved most popular place in the world.

Even Lin'an cannot be compared with most people.

Some people say that most of the people in the north are like burly men, while the beautiful Lin'an is more like a pretty little lady.

This is probably why the Southern Song Dynasty was always bullied by the Yuan Dynasty.

Some people even say that in the misty and rainy land in the south, there is no iron-clad man.

This is undoubtedly a satirizing the weak Southern Song Dynasty's people. But by saying that one country and one country are nourishing the other, it seems that this is true.

The stretching golden top reflects golden light in the sunlight, demonstrating the supreme emperor's power.

At this time, the great Yuan emperor Kublai Khan, who was so powerful in the world, sat in the Ming Palace.

He is nearly 70 years old, but he still looks strong, with a face of about 60 years old, a dark face and a very majestic one.

The civil and military officials of the Yuan Dynasty sat in a row, but at this time they were trembling and no one dared to speak. Because, for half a lifetime of military service, His Majesty, the invincible emperor, was in a rage.

Someone was surprised when he saw Kublai Khan holding the dragon throne with both hands, still trembling slightly.

They have never seen the emperor get so angry for many years. After many years, the emperor cultivated his body and was no longer drinking the strongest wine and sleeping the most spiritually erotic women who spoke the dirtiest words, gradually became unsightly and never showed such a look.

No one knows what made the emperor so angry.

Could it be...

It was Boyan, and Yesuer was defeated in the Southern Song Dynasty?

With Boyan and Yesuer's political enemies were already making a statement in their hearts. Just when Kublai Khan revealed the answer, he planned to talk about them.

However, after several minutes of rage, Kublai Khan said nothing, but suddenly stood up and walked out of the hall.

The ministers were puzzled. After the eunuch shouted out the word "retreat" and bowed quickly, "Give me a greeting to the emperor."

When Kublai Khan walked out of the hall, he left the Ming Hall alone. However, when he left, it was inevitable that he would form groups of factions to discuss this matter with each other.

Kublai Khan's rage really made them confused. As a minister, if he couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, it would be the beginning of danger.

Being with the king is like a tiger.

It is absolutely necessary that a minister, who was a very powerful minister, asked indirectly about the news from the eunuch who was serving Kublai Khan.

But the old eunuch just kept silent. He asked the ministers to stay calm, and then hurried towards the back of the Ming Dynasty.

As the confidant eunuch next to the emperor, he knew what he could say and when he could tell. The matter of Princess Mingzhu obviously cannot leak news now, because he knew that no matter what decision the emperor made, he would cause a lot of rumors for the emperor.

Saving Princess Mingzhu will be criticized for not putting national affairs first. If you do not save Princess Mingzhu, you will be said to be indifferent and righteous.

Although the royal family does not have much affection, it is just private? Who dares not to look happy on the surface?

When he arrived at the hall where the emperor reviewed the memorials, the old eunuch stood beside Kublai Khan with his hands down, and he did not dare to say much.

But Kublai Khan seemed very confused and asked, "What do you think of Mingzhu's affairs?"

The old eunuch really didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he also knew Kublai Khan's personality, so he had to say it.

After making a good word in his heart, he said carefully: "The emperor is wise and virtuous, and he carries all things. The old slave dares not say much."

"I understand what you mean."

When Kublai Khan heard this, he sighed softly, "But that girl Mingzhu really makes me love you..."

The old eunuch is wise and powerful, and the virtue is behind him. How could Kublai Khan not hear what he meant?

That is to first be divine martial arts and then be virtuous. In other words, let Kublai Khan put military first.
