Small emotions come and go quickly.
Li Mochou also took the time to talk to Yin Zhiping about Guo Jing's thoughts, even though Huang Rong had said that it was not necessary to mention it.
Yin Zhiping felt that Guo Jing seemed to really think that he could do anything.
Huang Rong was right. She didn't have the ability to monitor others around the clock. She really couldn't handle it.
In the past, he would take a look at it when he was free at night, because he found that Alibugha and Wulianghetai only talked about these things at night, and they focused on training soldiers during the day.
Li Mochou also brought the latest news about Yang Guo. As soon as this topic came out, Yin Zhiping, Yin Tianxue and Guo Fu sat in a row, waiting for the latest news about Yang Guo.
According to Li Mochou's description, Lu Wushuang seemed to have not noticed Yang Guo's refusal at all, or she might have pretended not to know.
Only she knows the truth.
As long as the Mongols did not attack, Lu Wushuang would come to see him from time to time, either to go out for a walk, or to learn martial arts, or to bring food she cooked herself.
After coming here so many times, many people in the City Lord's Mansion got to know this girl with a likable and unpretentious personality.
Only Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan, Ke Zhen'e and a few other elders who particularly doted on Yin Tianxue and Guo Fu had a very indifferent attitude towards Lu Wushuang. They neither expressed their likes nor their dislikes, and treated her as an ordinary person.
The same is true for fellow apprentices Li Zhichang, Zhen Zhibing, etc., but they do so because of the relationship between Lu Wushuang and Lu Zhanyuan, that is, because of their senior brother Yin Zhiping.
There are some things Li Mochou doesn't know.
In fact, Lu Wushuang experienced a lot of contempt at a young age when she followed her parents and uncles and aunts. Her lively personality hides a sensitive heart.
Lu Wushuang was also aware of these people's attitude towards her and felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do because she did have a good impression of Yang Guo.
Moreover, Lu Wushuang was not unaware of Yang Guo's refusal. Even if she didn't know, her mother Lu Erniang would have explained it to her.
Lu Wushuang was just pretending to be stupid.
Because once it was made clear, she would no longer be able to come to Yang Guo.
Whether for his own future or for his own feelings, Lu Wushuang could not accept this happening.
Others couldn't find a way to establish a relationship with Yang Guo, but she had already become friends with Yang Guo, so there was no reason not to seize this opportunity.
After listening to it, Yin Zhiping concluded that she was chasing him and he was running away, and he... didn't know whether he could escape or not.
Based on Yin Zhiping's understanding of this disciple, it would be best if Lu Wushuang didn't know about it, otherwise the little disciple's patience would be worn out and they might not even be able to be friends anymore.
When being friends, once there are other thoughts mixed in, it is no longer just friendship, especially when there is a huge gap in status and strength like Yang Guo and Lu Wushuang.
If it was Lu Wushuang in the original novel, Yin Zhiping would quite like her personality, she was spoiled but kind.
But now that Lu Wushuang has seen the ups and downs of life, he may still be kind by nature, but there will definitely be some impact. He may become stronger, or he may think of taking shortcuts.
In short, Yin Zhiping didn't want to interfere in this matter, so he let Yang Guo handle it himself, and he just helped him keep a close eye on it.
The two little girls, Yin Tianxue and Guo Fu, didn't think too much about it. They just wanted to know some gossip about their brother Yang.
Li Mochou did not stay long and went back before dark. Except for a few familiar people such as Guo Jing and Huang Rong, no one knew that Li Mochou had left.
After suffering several heavy losses, Alibugha and Wulianghetai restrained themselves and no longer attacked rashly, patiently waiting for Hadabater to recover.
At the same time, Alibugha reported to the Great Khan Ogedei, begging the Khan to help delay the reinforcements sent by the court.
Because the news came out that Ding Daquan's Jia Sidao had his head cut off, many people were scared.
Both the collection of supplies and the mobilization of troops have become much faster.
Now, Alibuga had to race against time, and he kept regretting in his heart why he agreed to let these three people catch the spiritual beast?
Which is more important, the spiritual beast or Xiangyang City?
If they had persisted in the attack for more than a month, they might have been able to force Guo Jing and Xiangyang City into a desperate situation.
Chapter 243 The final struggle
Alibugha did miss his last chance.
No matter how powerful Ogedei was, his influence on the Southern Song court was limited.
Even the most greedy person will have to think twice before putting his life at risk.
Ding Daquan and Jia Sidao have gone crazy with killing.
At this moment, everyone in the court was in a panic, fearing that the next knife would be placed on their necks.
No matter whether it was true or false, as soon as the news got out, a large number of guards would come to the door that night.
It is unknown how many innocent people were implicated.
Everyone is too busy hiding to take cover, yet you step forward and hand the evidence over to the other party?
Not only was Ogedei helpless in this matter, he was also extremely disappointed with Ariq Böke.
A ruler like Ogedei didn't care about the process. He only knew that Alibugha had an army several times larger than the city of Xiangyang, but had been unable to capture it after months of siege.
Even if Bagucang did not act as planned and was instead seriously injured by Yin Zhiping, they still had three innate realm masters, and the opposite side also had three.
Not to mention that they delayed the reinforcements from the Song Dynasty court, leaving Xiangyang City isolated and helpless.
Ogedei knew a little more than Alibugha, but it was too late now. The reinforcements from the Southern Song court were already on the way and would arrive in less than half a month. By then, even if Hadabater and the other two recovered from their injuries, they would have lost the best chance to capture Xiangyang City.
Ogedei felt aggrieved and was very angry with Ariq Böke, Hadabater and the other two.
This time, the attack on Xiangyang City was full of strangeness from the moment Bagucang acted on its own will and led to Yin Zhiping's action.
Now we are going to fail because of a eagle. It’s a joke.
Now that he knew it was impossible, Ogedei could not order Alibugha and Wulianghetai to attack. Guo Jing, Li Mochou and Li Zhichang alone were a mountain that could not be crossed.
The best thing to do at this time is to find an opportunity to return to the court and wait for the next opportunity.
Wait until the next time to ensure that Xiangyang City is isolated and helpless, and then compete with Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
However, this was not the time to evacuate casually. Thinking of this, Ogedei called his confidants and secretly gave them orders.
After continuous practice of qigong day and night to heal the wounds, the sword wounds caused by Yin Zhiping recovered quickly. The first thing Hadabater, King Jinlun and Ouyang Lie did after they recovered was to ask for a fight.
But unexpectedly, Alibuga did not agree, but instead maintained their previous state of pretending with each other.
Alibugha had already understood the Khan's thoughts. His focus was no longer on Xiangyang City, but on the Song soldiers who came to support him.
This army has a total of 100,000 people, plus the estimated 40,000 people in Xiangyang City, which ensures that it will be difficult for him to capture Xiangyang City.
Retreat is already a foregone conclusion, so what Alibugha wants to do most now is to strive for the greatest victory before returning, and thereby reduce the punishment from the Khan.
The Song soldiers have always been weak, and it is impossible for there to be any particularly strong individuals among this batch of reinforcements. Therefore, after Alibugha communicated with Wulianghetai, he sent Hadabater and the other two out to directly intercept this batch of reinforcements.
Achieve the greatest possible results and cause the greatest possible damage to them.
Huang Rong would never have thought that he would set his sights on these reinforcements, or directly send a small number of elites to bypass Xiangyang City and attack the heartland.
Huang Rong couldn't imagine it, but Yin Zhiping saw it, or heard it?
unimportant!
In short, Yin Zhiping learned about Alibugha's plan again.
That night, a flat stone was carried by a small sword energy and flew towards Xiangyang City, aiming directly at Yang Guo.
Yang Guo sensed the familiar aura of sword energy and walked out of the room. A flash of light appeared and a stone fell into his hand.
As soon as I got the news, I informed Aunt Guo.
Aunt Guo said that as long as there was something happening with the master, she should be notified immediately, no matter how late it was.
Huang Rong has felt a lot more relaxed over the past month. The pressure from the Mongolian side has eased, and reinforcements from the imperial court are on the way. Everything is moving in a good direction.
So I went to bed early.
Yang came to look for them, thinking something had happened. She was nervous and she and her husband put on their clothes and opened the door.
Seeing the familiar type of stone in Yang Guo's hand, Huang Rong already had an idea in her mind. It must be that Yin Zhiping had discovered something again.
Huang Rong took it, took a look at it, handed it to her husband, and told Yang, who was on standby, to go and notify Li Zhichang, Zhu Ziliu and others to discuss the matter in the conference room.
Huang Rong trusted Yin Zhiping's information very much. Countless experiences had told her that Yin Zhiping's spiritual awareness could really monitor the Mongolian camp without anyone noticing.
After reading it, Guo Jing's face turned serious, and he said thoughtfully, "Why does this look so much like the final madness?"
Huang Rong returned to her room to tidy up, saying, "That's probably it. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, if Ariq Böke doesn't have any other options, the war will basically be over. He's trying to make a last stand before withdrawing, to earn himself some military merit and mitigate Ogedei's punishment."
"Since he wants it, then give it to him. However, it won't be a military merit, but a fault."
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Huang Rong's eyes. Huang Rong had a high opinion of Alibuga. Not everyone has the courage to sacrifice human lives. If it succeeds, it will be a great achievement. If it fails, it will be a great fault.
Didn't Alibuge want to buy himself a life-saving talisman before returning? My husband and I had been dealing with him for a while, so it was reasonable to help him replace the talisman with a life-threatening one, right?
Alibuge: Don't come over here! (Same expression as Bu Jingyun)
The general plan has already taken shape in Huang Rong's mind, but how to implement it specifically needs to be discussed further.
Yang Guo moved quickly. When Guo Jing and Huang Rong arrived at the conference room, most people had already arrived. The only ones missing were a few who did not live in the City Lord's Mansion, such as Wu San Tong and Lu Youjiao.
Huang Rong had already copied the information passed by Yin Zhiping on paper and handed it to Qiu Chuji and others to check one by one.
Apart from Qiu Chuji, Yang Guo, Li Mochou, and Li Zhichang, who had been together for more than ten years, no one knew that Huang Rong had Yin Zhiping as a channel of information.
Outsiders only speculated that Huang Rong, as the leader of the Beggars' Sect, had established a unique secret organization and was powerful enough to investigate the Mongolian Marshal's plans.
After proving the accuracy of Huang Rong's sources of information several times, I felt that Huang Rong and Guo Jing were truly omnipotent.
Now, Zhu Ziliu and others also firmly believe the news that Huang Rong has conveyed again.
After the document had been circulated, those who hadn't arrived had finally arrived, and Huang Rong got to the point. "I think everyone has seen that once the imperial army arrives, even if Xiangyang is held, Alibuga is ruthless. He knows he'll be punished when he returns, so he wants to strike one last blow against us before withdrawing, targeting the reinforcements."
Chapter 244 Two Plans: Play it safe or take a gamble
Li Zhichang, Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan and others did not say anything, and there was no need for them to say anything, as everyone knew that they would listen to Huang Rong.
Rather than speaking to everyone, Huang Rong's words were meant for the heroes of the martial arts world, led by Zhu Ziliu and Wu Santong.
"Boss Huang, just tell us what to do. We will all follow your orders."
Wu Santong had a strong martial arts aura, and when he saw his senior brother Zhu Ziliu's wry smile, he immediately expressed his opinion.
Zhu Ziliu also thought so, but he would not say it as vulgarly as his junior brother.
Huang Rong didn't think it was vulgar. As long as you listen to me, what does it matter whether you are vulgar or not?
Seeing Zhu Zi and Liu Ye agreeing without objection, Huang Rong continued, "As we know, Hadabaatar, King Jinlun, and Ouyang Lie of the Mongolian army have recovered. They will all participate in this operation. Now we have two choices."
Looking around, Huang Rong saw that everyone's eyes were on her. "First, led by Brother Jing, Senior Brother Li Zhichang, and the Li family's sister, we will set up an ambush as before and make sure they never return."
The "come but no return" policy only targets those who are not at the innate level. Those three innate people are not so easy to deal with.
This arrangement was expected by everyone and had been done this way before.
However, in the past, it was not necessary to mobilize all the Xiantian realm cultivators. This time, except for Huang Rong, who is in charge, Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan, Ke Zhen'e and other elderly people and other injured people who need to guard the house, everyone else has to be mobilized.
Zhu Ziliu and Wu Santong continued to look at Huang Rong, and so did Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan and others. Except for Guo Jing, no one else had heard of the other plan.
"Secondly, it's a bit risky, but if it succeeds, Alibuga will have a hard time getting out of this situation even if he doesn't die."
Huang Rong felt that Alibugha was a cruel and decisive man who could disregard the lives of his subordinates in order to achieve his goals. He was even more ruthless. Even if he knew that a thing could not be done, he would still bite off a piece of meat from the Song Dynasty before leaving.
The best way to deal with this kind of person is to kill him with one blow. Since you want to turn him into a death warrant, then give him a big one.
"Rong'er, tell me, what is the second plan?"
Qiu Chuji couldn't wait and asked as a representative.
With Huang Rong's intelligence and ideas, Qiu Chuji knew it was impossible for her to come up with them. He did have some self-awareness.
"We will split our forces into two groups. Li Zhichang and the young lady from the Li family will lead the team to deal with Hadabaatar and his men. We can just hold them off. Brother Jing will follow us out of the city and attack the Mongolian camp at night."
Before Huang Rong finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar. This was the first time, the first time they had the opportunity to take the initiative.
But faced with this opportunity, no one who had just said they would obey Huang Rong's orders dared to say a word, because this decision was of great importance.
If it succeeds, it will indeed be a great achievement. After it is done, everyone will have both face and money. They can brag about it for the rest of their lives. They can all think of it without Huang Rong saying much.
Similarly, if the opposite fails, what will be the consequences?
You must know that the defenders in Xiangyang City have suffered heavy losses, with only less than 40,000 people left.
If you want to achieve sufficient results in the attack, you must mobilize at least half of the troops.
Considering the surprise effect of the night attack, the damage caused to the Mongols may not be very great. The uncertainty is too high and no one can guarantee it.
