Luo Datong understood that the enemy's large-scale invasion of the south is not only a place where the enemy is determined to win, but also a focus of the battle situation. However, the army defending this city comes from two enemy "submission troops", which makes people disagree. After all, on the surface, there are many enemies and we are few, and our own side has little chance of winning. According to common sense, it seems natural to concede the city and surrender in such a situation. It is natural to arouse suspicion from others and even colleagues. He took over the appointment of the commander of the imperial guards under such discrimination and suspicion from all sides.

At the beginning of his takeover, Luo Datong would explain, argue, or even fight with his colleagues. He also found that no matter whether he was as humble as a young wife, or was angry and full of old fists, he was so pale and powerless in front of those who were prejudiced and misunderstood. Even if someone expressed his understanding, it was just because he was "exiled" to such a troops with no future, no trust, and cannon fodder.

Under the pressure of all kinds of criticism, Luo Datong couldn't help but feel depressed. He Zhenguo, the commander of the Fourth Brigade who was reorganized in Shaoxing, drank a drink to relieve his sorrow. After drinking a few drinks, he revealed his thoughts of meeting the emperor and being transferred. As soon as he said that he smiled bitterly, talking about his "experience" when he entered Beijing before. At that time, he also wanted to transfer because he could not stand the rolling eyes of his colleagues, so he found Chen Dun to talk about it.

Chen Dun was quite good at work and soon found He Zhenguo a chance to meet the saint directly. When he mentioned the request for transfer, the young emperor, who was very intimate at first, changed his face and "tied up" him with his own hands. He didn't know how many dragon fists and dragon feet he had been beaten, and he didn't hurt his body, but he hadn't hurt his muscles and bones. The pain made him grin, but he could still run or jump.

After a fierce beating, the little emperor was so angry that he immediately retired from active service and received a considerable reward of grace and returned home. He immediately left the capital and never wanted to see him again. He Zhenguo was panicked at that time. He never expected such a result. He knew that if he had not taken in the little emperor, he would have become a hungry man, and his bones would be gnawed by dogs, and there was no commander who could be above ten thousand people before he was thirty years old. He immediately kowtowed and kowtowed to ask the emperor to take back his life. As long as he could continue to follow, he was willing to be a small guard guarding the palace gate.

Fortunately, Chen Dun, who had been out of control, did not add any harm to the insult. He also thought about the friendship between peeing and mud, and helped He Zhenguo plead with him, so that His Majesty would open his mouth again. But this time he did not take action, nor scold him, but sat down with him to recall the past. When the palace was opened, they had only one young child who was in a down-and-out place and was in panic all day long. The prince, hundreds of defeated soldiers, village heroes and thousands of scholars and refugees who had just escaped from the massacre and fled here. In the eyes of anyone, they were all abandoned sons and would be swallowed by the Mongolian Yuan army at any time, disappearing silently like a stone thrown into the sea.

But this team of mobs, after hardships, not only became stronger and stronger in the battle, but also "incorporated" the court, from a corner of Qiongzhou to Jiangnan, occupying half of the rivers and mountains. This was also full of doubts and contempt, but the little emperor still had the ability to disagree with the public, persevered and achieved achievements that no one could deny, becoming the king of the Great Song Dynasty.

As a witness, He Zhenguo naturally knew the difficulties in the process, and the army had been reorganized several times, including the army of different factions of this dynasty and the enemy troops captured in the war. However, after the training, they became part of the current Song army, and even became senior officers. Thinking about the current situation is many times better than in Qiongzhou, and there is the support of the emperor behind him, but he retreated just because he heard some rumors. He was really ashamed.

Just like that, He Zhenguo, who went to ask for the transfer, was beaten and gave up his thoughts and returned to Shaoxing in shame to continue training the troops. He also remembered what the little emperor said: Since there is no way to block the questioners' mouths, then use his actions and achievements to shut them up, rather than just defending and seeking trouble in vain.

During the meal, Luo Datong saw the bruises he showed to him. While expressing his deep condolences, he also secretly glad that if he had gone to meet the saint first, the beating would have fallen on him. However, he also agreed with His Majesty's words. Since he couldn't explain it clearly, let's see the truth on the battlefield! So he also settled down to train the troops.

Thinking about these surrendered soldiers captured in the Battle of Ezhou, they were also elite troops from the Southern Dian army of the Mongolian Yuan and Han army. After destroying the Song Dynasty, they had already been identified. The generals and officers who led the troops in Mongolia were either killed or removed. Most of the rest were from poor families and forced to sign for conquest. However, these northern Han people experienced the rule of the Liao, Jin, Song and Yuan for more than a hundred years. Although they lacked national identity with the Song Dynasty and were used to obeying only the powerful, they also had good plasticity.

After a year of careful training by Luo Datong, the Fifth Brigade's scores have met the standards during the school review. The following year's review results have reached excellent and ranked among the top-notch troops in the imperial guard system. However, they have been stationed in Shaoxing area and have not had the opportunity to participate in several conflicts with the Mongolian Yuan in Jiangbei. Naturally, they cannot show their combat effectiveness and eliminate the doubts that still exist. However, the whole brigade is holding its anger and wants to show its skills on the battlefield in the future.

The Fifth Brigade was ordered by the Imperial Empire to participate in the battle of attacking Yangzhou, which greatly boosted the morale of the whole brigade. Being able to participate in the war not only showed that the emperor had recognized them, but also an opportunity for them to reverse the world's views on them. What makes everyone regret is that in several major battles, they only undertake the task of defending the camp, and can only beat the side drums and have no chance to go into battle to face the enemy's battle. Although it made the Fifth Brigade feel frustrated, it also aroused the desire for victory among the generals. They are like a sharp knife hidden in snow, waiting for the moment they are unsheathed.

After the little emperor fully revealed the entire combat plan, everyone knew very well that the importance of Changshu City, which was on the enemy's offensive route, was highlighted. It was not only an important logistics supply point for the entire army to counterattack, but also a key point that the Mongolian Yuan was determined to win. The gains and losses of the city were related to the victory or defeat of the entire battle. However, the generals also knew that in order not to expose the battle's intentions, it was not easy to send a large army to guard, and they could only defend with a strong journey until the enemy fell into a trap. Therefore, it was very cautious to choose which army to go to Changshu...

"Magistrate Chen, is it because Your Majesty has no knowledge of using others?" Luo Datong said just now, but he did not show any embarrassment because of this. Instead, he nodded, which made him feel unhappy and frowned and turned his face to ask.

"The officials don't know what the governor said?" Chen Boyuan knew that what he said had stabbed Luo Datong in his heart, but he felt that he should express his original intention to avoid unhappiness in the future, but he did not expect that he would move out of the emperor.

"Minister Chen, this battle was planned by Your Majesty. Do you not know the importance of Changshu City? Do you not know which troops are stationed here? The imperial guards are His Majesty's personal army. They were formed by him. I didn't expect that the Fifth Brigade was reorganized by the surrendered army?" Luo Datong asked repeatedly with an unexpected expression.

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and you have a clear understanding of your eyes. Your Majesty will never dare to question it. But people's hearts are unpredictable and things in the world are unpredictable. The Majesty is just worried that if something changes will ruin your Majesty's major affairs, there is no other intention, nor does it doubt the loyalty of the governor to Your Majesty!" Chen Boyuan was upset and his hat was big enough, so he quickly bowed.

"It is normal for magistrate Chen to have some suspicion. You and I are ordered to defend the city and should unite and work together to deal with this problem. But there are rifts between each other, and they are guarding against each other and suspicious, which will make things happen." Luo Datong said slowly after hearing this, thinking about it and untied the long knife on his waist.

"What should the governor do?" Chen Boyuan was startled when he saw him holding a knife, and he took two steps back and said in a panic. He knew that his official position was low and that he wanted to kill him on the spot at the moment, so he had countless reasons to explain to His Majesty. But he was only questioning the loyalty of the defender, which was enough to die several times.

"Don't panic in the magistrate Chen!" Luo Datong did not draw his sword, but handed it to Chen Boyuan, but he did not dare to take it. He smiled and said, "County Chen, this sword was personally given by Your Majesty to commend the original commander for his achievements in combat. Now I will hand this sword to you temporarily, and I will exercise the power of the supervisory commander. If you find that someone has a bad intention, from the original commander to the fire army and the groom, you can kill him!"

"This... Then the official is disrespectful, so I will take it for the chieftain for the chieftain for the time being!" Chen Boyuan hesitated for a moment. He understood that his gift of the sword to him was to show his loyalty to the country and the king, so as to gain his trust, and to fight the enemy with one heart. If he took it, he would appear to be stingy; but he was worried about his sincerity that he suspected. But after thinking for a moment, he still accepted it. "The chieftain, the official, thanked the 20,000 people in the city, and would definitely lead the people in the city to advance and retreat together with the army, and survive and die together with the city!"

"Okay! I will swear here that even if one soldier fights, I will protect the safety of the people in the city. If I violate this oath, heaven will be punished by the earth!" Luo Datong raised his right hand and pointed to the sky and made an oath.

"The general's heart is in the world, and the emperor is willing to share life and death with the governor!" Chen Boyuan was moved by his sincerity and said a little excitedly.

‘Woooooooooooooooooooooooo…’ At this moment, suddenly the sound of horns outside the city came from afar, and smoke and dust suddenly rose in the west direction of the city, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and like a storm wrapped in sand and dust rolling in.

"Listen to the southern army on the city, my family led a large army. If we offer the city to surrender, we will be in danger. If we resist, we will definitely massacre the city without leaving any other children!" At this time, a Mongolian cavalry holding a banner under the city came to the city and shouted upwards.

"The madman is arrogant and knocked him out!" Luo Datong looked down at the city and said.
