On the afternoon of the second day after the battle with Zhang Hongfan, a group of people and others arrived near the Song military station. After more than half an oblique, Zhang Shijie received the news that his fellow villagers came to join him.

Arrived here with the guards, as soon as the gang saw Zhang Shijie, the first few people immediately knelt down for Zhang Shijie, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Sanlang, please save our brother." ”

Zhang Shijie was a little surprised when he heard this heartfelt shout. He asked, "Why don't you go to Zhang Hongfan for help?" ”

The blind dates knelt on the ground and begged: "Zhang Hongfan has run away and left us in the camp." We begged him to bring our brother home on horseback, but he refused. We can only beg you! ”

"Oh? Zhang Hongfan ran away? The latest news surprised Zhang Shijie, he knew that Zhang Hongfan was very capable, but he didn't expect Zhang Hongfan to be more capable than he imagined. When something is wrong, leave immediately, this is the basic principle of using soldiers. But as long as it involves the truth, it is basically impossible to do it, because most of the truth is anti-human. Zhang Hongfan has already lost thousands of people here, and ordinary people are not willing to give up after paying such a price.

In the thinking of ordinary people, giving up means admitting defeat, and leaving behind theoretically preserves the opportunity to turn the tables. And Zhang Hongfan is obviously not an ordinary person.

Seeing that Zhang Shijie was silent, the fellow felt that Zhang Shijie was thinking about how to refuse to treat their relatives at this time, and the blind dates begged one by one. Only then did Zhang Shijie pull his thoughts back to the present. He asked these people to carry the wounded to the leeward place outside the military station, and asked the military doctor to come out to help treat them≡ and he sent soldiers to bring a few villagers who had surrendered to check on Zhang Hongfan's camp.

The cavalry rushed to the side of the camp, but saw that there were still people in the camp. Seeing that the Song army was coming, those people immediately hid. The villagers here hurriedly went up to persuade them to surrender and told those who remained in the camp to take care of the wounded relatives that Song Jun was willing to help treat them.

Those who remained in the camp immediately surrendered. The cavalry entered the hastily built camp, and sure enough, they saw that in addition to the drowning in one place, only the wounded and a few relatives who had stayed behind to protect the wounded were left in the camp. Zhang Hongfan really ran away.

rushed back with the news of the investigation and the wounded to report, Zhang Shijie had no intention of chasing. Zhang Hongfan can go so simply, he will definitely stay behind to deal with the pursuit, Zhang Shijie's men are stronger than the infantry. There was little confidence in the cavalry.

After another day of waiting, the Song army of Zhigu Village, which was heading south, arrived at Zhang Shijie's camp. Ten days after the meeting between the two sides, they immediately used fast horses to send a message to the south. With the change of horses at the military station, the news traveled hundreds of miles from the telegraph station in Dezhou to Hangzhou in just one day. The next day, it was sent to Zhao Guan's house.

Zhao Jiaren knew that the troops of the five divisions had reached the south bank of the Yellow River opposite Texas. Now that the garrison had been completed, he immediately ordered his troops to begin crossing the river to the north. The commanders of the five divisions all knew the truth of the speed of the soldiers, and they knew even more clearly what kind of military exploits they had to seize most of them without the personal command of the Zhao Guanjia. After receiving the order, he immediately got to work in full swing.

The Song army, which also assembled two divisions on the Kaifeng side of Henan, also received an order to reach Hebei through the Yellow River in Kaifeng, seize Quandan, and completely cut off the Mongolian iron source.

Zheng Jie originally had five divisions in his hands, but now there are more than 30,000 people left. There are more than 20,000 Red Turban Army in Zhang Shijie's hands. At this time, seven more divisions of troops entered Hebei, and the number of Song troops in Hebei had reached as many as 120,000.

At this time, Kublai Khan had already set off with his elite for more than half a month. These elite Mongol cavalry moved quickly and soon ran more than a thousand miles. It's already on the steppe. Wherever Kublai Khan's Great Khan went, herdsmen and tribal leaders came to pay their respects. The Great Khan was in a hurry to get on the road and didn't leave much time on the road.

On such an ordinary day as February 19, Kublai Khan was still on his way. At this time, a leader came to pay a visit, and Kublai Khan simply stopped, waited for the group to meet and continued to set off. He had agreed that the tribes would gather in Shangjing and Lin, and then he would lead the tribe to begin the westward expedition.

"The Great Khan is the sun in the sky, illuminating the earth and bringing light" Without you, we will not be able to settle down. Today I have come from the side of the mountain to sing this song, especially for you, and my infinite admiration for the Great Khan is as boundless as the sea. Da Khan is the rebirth of his parents, hanging on his lips, reciting it a hundred times a day. The Great Khan was favored by the Great Khan, and the Immortal Heaven also sent Hao Ren Wanhu, who could talk to the Great Khan, as a courtier."

Mongolia is a place where the way of life is simple, the relationship with each other is simple, and if you feel that the other party is not pleasing to the eye, you will draw a sword against each other. Therefore, the flattery of the strong is also very straightforward, and the praise in the previous section seems to be very excessive in the eyes of the Southern Song Dynasty people at this time, but it is in line with the characteristics of the grassland. Kublai Khan originally wanted to walk after listening to it, but suddenly the song "Hao Ren Wanhu, who can talk to Changshengtian", suddenly appeared.

Hao Ren Wanhu is mostly famous for its thorough sinicization.,At least everyone knows that there is such a number one person.。 Now the leader of the grassland actually knew about Hao Ren Wanhu, a Mongolian Wanhu who grew up in the capital, and gave him a certain sentence of 'being able to talk to Changshengtian'. You must know that even the Great Khan of Mongolia is only known as the darling of the Immortal Heaven, and only a very small number of Great Shamans are said to be able to talk to the Immortal Heaven.

Kublai Khan patiently listened to the leader finish singing the carol, pretending to be indifferent and asked, "How did Hao Ren talk to Changshengtian?" ”

As soon as the chief heard that the noble Khan was actually talking to him, he immediately began to speak excitedly. Hao Renwan is undoubtedly famous for his ability to see the sun through an altar with magical gems and accurately determine its direction. Moreover, Hao Ren Wanhu also made utensils that can light fire, and Mongolian herdsmen no longer have to worry about Rui. Wherever he went, his men punished their enemies mercilessly, but they were very merciful to the people, exchanging only the wonderful scorpions needed by the herdsmen for their cattle and sheep. Never rob, let alone bully.

Kublai Khan did not take the latter descriptions to heart. The so-called teacher of benevolence and righteousness, those Confucians have said it many times, and it is probably no different from what Hao Ren did. But the altar, which could see the sun through the clouds and accurately orient it, and the ability to manipulate it, made Kublai Khan shiver slightly.

Fortunately, the Khan's leather jacket was thick and big enough, and the people next to him could not see the sweat's uneasiness. At this time, the tribal leader had finished telling all the wonders of Hao Ren Wanhu, Kublai Khan praised the leader a few words, and continued to advance∵ not far away, Kublai Khan called Wang Donglu, the chief of the guard, to give a few words, and Wang Donglu took the order and left.

A few days later, the Great Khan ordered a stop and repairs, and within three days, some of the leaders of Hao Ren's western expedition had arrived in front of the Great Khan to say goodbye. The Great Khan heard from their rhetoric that these people had the same assessment of Hao Ren Wanhu. This Wanhu has the ability to talk to Changshengtian, and those things that confuse the people, Hao Ren Wanhu knows, and can give them all kinds of useful advice.

After accepting the greetings from these leaders, Kublai Khan looked at Wang Donglu, who looked nervous, and suddenly laughed, "Don't panic, I know that you are Hao Ren's senior brother, but Hao Ren is also my nephew, and I won't do anything to my relatives." ”

Hearing this, Wang Donglu hurriedly lowered his head. Not long ago, it was this Kublai Khan who 'did not do anything to his relatives' who ordered to trample to death many nobles of the Ögedai Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate with horses. Although these nobles were enemies of Kublai Khan, they were also members of the family and descendants of Genghis Khan.

Wang Donglu knew that the most unacceptable thing for emperors was that others were more legitimate than him, and in Mongolia, a place that believed in immortality, Hao Ren showed the ability to communicate with immortality, which was legitimacy. Whoever is closer to the Immortal Heaven is more qualified to be a Great Khan

"Passing the decree, I appointed Hao Ren as the left-behind envoy of the capital, and led the government soldiers to take up most of the posts." Kublai Khan said to the officials around him. As soon as the officials heard this, they immediately drafted an edict and prepared the envoys. Wang Donglu looked at these busy people and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If it were someone else, in the face of Kublai Khan's orders, they would oppose it, or even raise the flag of rebellion against Kublai Khan. But for Hao Ren, Wang Donglu has confidence. Hao Ren is by no means a man who is happy to claim hegemony on the grassland. When Da Yuan is facing such a crisis, Hao Ren will definitely do his best for Da Yuan. This is loyalty, which is the most respected morality of the Han people.

In this time, the messenger was ordered to set off as fast as possible, and there was no need to worry about how many horses died. When they set out, the messengers brought not three horses each, but four horses. At the same time, get the documents and tokens, and all the garrisons and officials along the way must give the envoy the greatest help.

So the Great Khan's will took only ten days to cover a distance of more than 3,000 miles and was delivered to Hao Ren's ten thousand households. Because of the weather, Hao Ren Wanhu did not enter the Ilkhanate, but went to the southeast to spend the winter. At this time, the weather was still cold, and Hao Ren Wanhu did not continue to set off.

Suddenly receiving an order from Kublai Khan, Hao Ren Wanhu was also taken aback, thinking that something big had happened. After reading the edict, Hao Ren knew that something was wrong.

As a person with a deep degree of sinicization, seeing such a term as the left-behind envoy of Dadu, Hao Ren knew that Dadu had been abandoned. If Kublai Khan was still using Dadu as his capital, it would have been impossible for him to hold such an official position as a left-behind envoy. As for why Dadu was abandoned, it was naturally the Great Song Dynasty that sent troops to attack Dadu.

After thinking for a while, Hao Ren Wanhu ordered all the generals to be called. First read the edict of Kublai Khan to everyone, and Hao Ren told it in ordinary words that everyone could understand. Many people showed puzzled expressions, and many people showed expressions of sudden realization. The guys who suddenly realized said: "Wanhu, this is a traitor who harms you. ”

"It has nothing to do with adulterers." Hao Ren objected. In everyone's puzzled expressions, Hao Ren Wanhu told everyone his judgment. After speaking, all the generals changed their faces, especially the generals of the government soldiers who lived in Hebei.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going back to Hebei. What about you? Hao Ren Wanhu asked loudly.
