Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 283 Alliance of Nations 1
"withdraw"

Kublai Khan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.

The situation is critical, and continuing to fight will only increase casualties.

The Mongolian and Yuan iron cavalry receded like a tide, and Zhu Di did not order to take advantage of the victory to pursue it. Now is not the time for a decisive battle.

"Open the city gate and welcome reinforcements into the city."

Upstairs in Xiangyang City, Lu Wende quickly ordered his men to open the city gate, looking at Zhu Di's back like a god of war, his eyes flashed with strong reverence from time to time.

With all the members of the old Zhu family wooing him, he already knew who he should choose!

"Win, we won"

Cheers resounded in the sky in Xiangyang City, there were Xiangyang defenders, and there were people from the rivers and lakes who came here to join the battle.

Amid bursts of cheers, Zhu Di rode a tall horse, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Houzhao, Second General Hengha, Li Rusong and others followed behind him.

Head held high, mighty and domineering entered Xiangyang, Lu Wende led a group of officers from Xiangyang, as well as Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife to meet him head-on.

"Lu Wende from Xiangyang, together with all the officers and soldiers from Xiangyang, and Guo Jing and Guo Daxia and his wife, pay a visit to Master Zhu."

Lu Wende's posture was very low, he knew that Song Ting was already the Zhu family's world, and he didn't have the capital to be proud in front of Zhu Di.

"General Lu has worked hard guarding Xiangyang, so there is no need to perform this great gift."

Zhu Di got off his horse and helped Lu Wende up. He could see that Lu Wende had the intention to join him, and he was quite happy about it.

Lu Wende's character is not good, and he colluded with the traitor Jia Sidao to create a huge Lu family military group. His younger brother Lu Wenfu, Lu Wenxin, and cousin Lu Wenhuan are all good generals.

Zhu Di doesn't mind Lu Wende's past, as long as he can use it, he is confident that he can completely suppress Lu Wende.

He is Emperor Yongle!

One has the heart, the other has the intention, Lu Wende enthusiastically hosted a banquet for Zhu Di and his party, Zhu Di did not refuse, and it always takes a process to subdue Lu Wende.

Liao
Yelu Hongji opened the letter sent by Song Ting's special envoy, read it carefully, his face remained calm, but he was secretly amazed in his heart.

Song Ting, who has always been famous for his "counseling", didn't know what he had eaten this time. He dared to take the initiative to attack Meng Yuan and invited all countries to attack together. It's really strange.

"All countries join forces to take the initiative to attack and cut off the expansion of the Mongolian Yuan. The strategy is a good strategy, but do your monarchs and ministers have the determination to fight to the death?"

Yelu Hongji mocked with disdain, he knew Song Ting's pissing nature very well, after all Song and Daliao had fought many battles since the founding of the country, and they knew each other quite well.

Not only he understands, but all countries in the world know well that Song Ting's national strength is not weak, but the monarchs and ministers are "counseled", so that no country in the country pays attention to Song Ting, and from time to time they go to the territory of Song State to fight the autumn wind.

"Don't speak dark words in front of the people of Ming Dynasty. Song Ting is now my lord in power. My lord dares to fight and has the heart to fight to the death."

Tang He was calm and composed, and took advantage of the general situation to force Yelu Hongji: "Now that Meng Yuan is attacking Xiangyang fiercely, if Xiangyang is defeated and Song Dynasty falls, can Daliao block the attack of Mongolian Yuan iron cavalry?"

Yelu Hongji was speechless!

He had received news about the changes in the political situation of the Song Dynasty early on, that the Song Emperor had become a show, and the real person was the Zhu family in Fengyang.

He knew even better that once Meng Yuan's iron cavalry broke through Xiangyang and Meng Yuan completely occupied the huge resources of Song State, the end of the country would come.

Dali is small and the people are small, Daliao, Xixia's internal and external troubles, Jin, and Tubo's decay and decline will not be the opponents of Meng Yuan.

Song Guo intends to unite other countries to take the initiative to attack. This is an opportunity. If it succeeds, it will have a few more years of lingering time, and if it fails, it will speed up the pace of death.

Yelu Hongji fell into deep thought.

Golden State
Wanyan Honglie took his good son Yang Kang on the road to Lin'an, and went to look for the missing daughter-in-law Mu Nianci and grandson Yang Guo.

Due to the overlap of timelines, both Wanyan Honglie and Yang Kang did not die, but Mu Nianci had a strong heart and could not understand Yang Kang's "accepting a thief as his father", and disappeared without a trace with the newly born Yang Guo.

Dali and Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming reluctantly agreed to join forces to take the initiative to attack Meng Yuan.

Dali's foundation is weak, and he can't stand the toss, but if he doesn't agree, the Zhu family, who is in charge of the Song court, is not easy to fool.

The most important thing is that Dali's political situation is also unstable, and the Gao clan's power is expanding. If Duan Zhengchun or Duan Yu succeeds to the throne of Dali in the future, he needs a great achievement, otherwise he will not be able to suppress Gao's ambitions.

Xixia and Tubo also sent people to Lin'an to discuss joining forces to fight against Yuan.

The leader of Xixia is the general Helian Tieshu, and the Tubo is the prince and national teacher Jiumozhi.

"What about Emperor Song, why didn't Emperor Song despise me, Tubo, when he received this prince?"

The Tubo prince yelled endlessly and was very angry.

He was offended that the person who was discussing the joint venture with other countries was not the Emperor Song, but a minister of the Song court.

Just a courtier, what qualifications does he have to talk to his noble Tubo prince.

Yelu Renxian of Daliao, Wanyan Honglie of Jin, Helian Tieshu of Xixia, Duan Zhengchun of Dali, all representatives from various countries were speechless. This Tubo prince looked like a stupid pig.

Could it be that before you came here, you didn't understand the situation in the Song State, and didn't know that the words of the Song Emperor in the Song State were no longer effective?
"Prince calm down."

Being looked at with strange eyes by the representatives of various countries, Jiumozhi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and quickly explained the political changes in the Song court to the Tubo prince.

"Ha, it turns out that this prince is thinking too much."

There was a trace of embarrassment on the Tubo prince's face, and then disappeared, his skin was thicker than that of Jiumozhi.

Jiumozhi apologized to everyone: "The prince is young and ignorant, please don't blame him!"

Just this young?
Seeing the plump and strong appearance of the Tubo prince, everyone complained silently in their hearts, and did not say much. They came to discuss the strategy of resisting Yuan, and they had no time to care whether the Tubo prince was really stupid or not.

"Master Zhu, it was you who proposed the attack. I want to know exactly what you want to do and how our countries should cooperate."

Wanyan Honglie looked at Lao Zhu and asked straightforwardly.

Yelurenxian, Helian Tieshu, Duan Zhengchun, and Jiumozhi hurriedly cheered up and listened attentively. It was a matter of strategic decision-making for each country, and they dared not be careless.

"What do you guys think, how do our six countries compare with the national strength of the Mongolian Yuan?"

Lao Zhu didn't answer Wanyan Honglie's question, but asked the crowd instead.

"It's not as good as it is."

Wanyan Honglie's face was extremely ugly. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the national power of each country was not at the same level as that of Meng Yuan.

The Mongolian Yuan has just started, and the interior is relatively united and stable. On the other hand, the countries are corrupt and decaying, fighting for power and profit, and the problems continue. It is impossible to compare with the Mongolian Yuan.

"In your opinion, how is the combat power of our armies of the six nations compared to that of Mongolian Yuan?"

Lao Zhu's second question directly silenced everyone. They didn't want to say it, they were embarrassed to say it, and they were ashamed to say it.

　In history, Lu Wenhuan was the defender of Xiangyang, but in view of Lu Wenhuan's experience of surrender, the author wrote Lu Wenhuan as Lu Wende. Book friends who like to study official history should not take it seriously!
