On the other hand, when he heard the news of Li Minghao's failure, Shi Tianze was already furious, and he was already angry when he spit out the book and turned into smoke. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"That guy really has a secret intention, and he actually sits back and watches the thieves sit big! Don't he know what kind of impact it will have on the world if he lets this Red Phoenix Army continue to grow?" The resentment in his words has become a matter of anger, which has made him emotional, and it is difficult to hide his anger.

Compared with the Red Phoenix Army, Shi Tianze hates speculators like Li Minghao who sway from side to side and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.

Shi Hui said fiercely: "It is obvious that Li Minghao has formed an alliance with the Red Phoenix Army, otherwise, how can he sit back and watch the Red Phoenix Army successfully gain a foothold and not attack? Even so, then the uncle might as well immediately send troops and completely destroy that Li Minghao!"

His two brothers, Shi Quan and Shi Ji, died in the battle with the Red Phoenix Army, and even hated those who colluded with the Red Phoenix Army.

"Marshal can't!" On the other side, Na Zhongwei opened his mouth to persuade: "We have no evidence to show that Li Minghao has colluded, if we rashly ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, I am afraid that the other party will seize the handle, but instead falsely accuse us of fabricating facts and false rumors, and then I am afraid that there will be no possibility of reasoning in front of the Great Khan." ”

With 20,000 troops, the Chifeng Army, which was no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, was beaten and fled, leaving less than half of the soldiers left. And the other side lost only some gunpowder and a dozen soldiers. Then Li Minghao is also a veteran general who fought on the battlefield, how could he end up with such virtue? Do you know if this guy is secretly doing tricks?" Shi Hui sneered, obviously not believing Zhong Wei's words.

If there are many examples of winning more with less and defeating the strong with the weak, there are not a few in this land of China.

However, the disparity between Chi Fengjun and Li Minghao is really rare, so that everyone who heard it was surprised, thinking that this was not due to the help of immortals, so that such a situation was possible?

As soon as he said it, all the soldiers showed suspicions, but only Shi Tianze did not move, but encouraged him. "Hui'er, although what you said makes sense, but since Zhong Wei has other ideas, he must also have his own opinions. Keeping his eyes on Zhong Wei, he continued to ask, "In that case, then you might as well say it and see if it makes sense?"

"Everyone!"

Being watched by everyone, Zhong Wei suddenly felt nervous, and tried to calm his beating heart, he slowly explained: "You have also fought against the Red Phoenix Army, you should know the combat style of the Red Phoenix Army. Although this army has only been in existence for a year, this army has repeatedly defeated the enemy, Li Shouxian and my father Gu are folded in the hands of this person, and there is already a faint phenomenon of leading the Central Plains and stirring up the world. ”

"So you're saying that Xiao Feng is not very human, and that Chifeng Army is not an ordinary rogue?" a calm voice interjected, but it was Zhang Dehui who asked.

Zhong Wei bowed his head in respect: "That's right, and don't you notice it? Since the appearance of the Red Phoenix Army, in this Central Plains and in China, everyone has been discussing one thing. ”

"Firearms?"

With anger on his eyebrows, Shi Tianze suddenly felt discouraged.

If it weren't for the ferocity of that firearm, he would have broken through Taiyuan City to exterminate the Chifeng Army, but the army under his command was dragged in Taiyuan for more than half a year, and this firearm accounted for at least half.

"That's right. Exactly firearms. This firearm is completely different from ordinary weapons, as long as ordinary soldiers control, they can easily take the enemy's life from a hundred zhang away, except for the earth immortal figures, even if the human level powerhouse is not guarded, it will also kill with one blow, it is really a powerful weapon at first sight. Zhong Wei continued to explain, and his murmuring words evoked the unbearable memories of the generals.

In the city of Taiyuan, they once thought that their swords and longbows were enough to completely subdue the group of guys, but the scorching bullets flying in their faces and the scattered blood told them what kind of strength the Red Phoenix Army was.

On the other side, although Li Minghao is on a par with the marshal, what he is good at is cavalry charge, and there is no firearm in the army to help. And you also know that the horse is most afraid of being frightened, and if he is frightened, he will be disproportionate, and he will not be able to maintain the cavalry charge formation. If the cavalry is out of array in the middle of the charge, it will inevitably clash with each other and end up in a sad end. ”

Zhong Wei said slowly, in many battles, he knew more about the Red Phoenix Army than many generals in Mongolia, and naturally knew how many unbelievable changes had occurred in this damn battlefield after the appearance of firearms.

There is no doubt that Li Minghao ended up so dismal because he didn't know the power of firearms.

"So do you think it's because Li Minghao is decadent, it's really because the Red Phoenix Army is too powerful?" Zhang Dehui said in a deep voice.

Zhong Wei said worriedly, "That's right. And if we wait for the teacher to ask for guilt, it will make that Li Minghao feel guilty, if it is really with the Red Phoenix Army, it will be an extremely serious blow to us. ”

"In other words, do we have to stand still now?" Shi Tianze looked worried.

If the Red Feng Army does not come out for a day, his soldiers and horses will have to be stationed here for a day, and the consumption of grain and grass in the army will become more and more prosperous.

But this Central Plains has been repeatedly scorched by wars, and now it is even more scorching sun, thousands of miles of red land, there is no harvest in the field, if it continues to drag on, the burden on the people of the Central Plains will become more and more abundant, and if someone follows Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, then the end of Mongolia will not be better than the Qin Dynasty that died II.

At this time, that Zhang Dehui was full of confidence and opened his mouth to say: "That's not the case." ”

"Old friend, what do you think?" Shi Tianze's eyes lit up, and there was a hint of expectation.

Although he and Zhang Dehui have a subordinate relationship, after decades of comradeship, they are very cordial to each other, like brothers.

"When I used to learn Taoism and martial arts, I used to live in seclusion in Longshan, and there I used to talk about Confucianism and Taoism with two Taoist friends, and talk about the general trend of the world. If I had written a letter to the general to explain the righteousness of the general, the other two would have gladly gone and helped me to eradicate the evil spirit. Zhang Dehui said slowly, and his words were full of confidence.

"In that case, let's hurry up and please. Whatever they pray, I will answer. Overjoyed, Shi Tianze said loudly.

Zhang Dehui kowtowed and replied: "I will not let the marshal down." He immediately took out the pen and ink, put the pen on the paper, and after leaving a line of text, he immediately summoned the pigeon, threw it into the air, and let the pigeon go into the distance.

............

"Father, are you recovered?"

Walking into the mansion, Zhang Hongfan's eyes lit up and he immediately rejoiced.

There is no other reason, just because Zhang Xiu is not serious and sits on the Taishi chair, and he is holding a file in his hand and looking at it carefully, and looking at his complexion, where is there still the same breath as before?

"Hmm!" Still clinging to the file in his hand, Zhang Xiu replied: "Because I want to know about the affairs in the army and the progress of exterminating the red thief, I got up." By the way, what have you been working on lately?"

"In addition to training the sergeants and pawns, it is to exterminate the red thieves entrenched around. I did everything my father commanded, and I did not dare to disobey it in the slightest. Zhang Hongfan replied, but there were some doubts in his heart: "It's just my father." Since we have already occupied Pingyang Mansion, why don't we go north to eradicate the Red Phoenix Army?"

According to the intelligence, the Chifeng Army is currently two hundred and fifty miles away from Jiexiu, if they march in a hurry, they will only need five days to arrive, and then they will attack together with Li Minghao and Shi Tianze, no matter how powerful the Chifeng Army is, it will still be completely crushed by this huge army.

"Don't worry!" Zhang Xiu shook his head and replied: "Exterminate the Chifeng military group, but how to deal with the things after this is difficult." After all, the Red Phoenix Army seems to be gaining momentum, but it is strong and easy to destroy, and if it is full, it will lose, and there will definitely be a time of defeat. But do you know what if we are destroyed by the Red Phoenix Army, and we are wiped out?"

Zhang Hongfan only felt incredible, and muttered in a low voice: "Is this possible?" When he captured Pingyang Mansion, although he encountered fierce resistance from the Chifeng Army led by Zhang Shijie, of course, he was quickly repulsed after that.

He didn't believe that with the Red Phoenix Army's less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, he could completely defeat the army led by his father.

Zhang Xiu refused to relax, and said with sorrow: "Of course it is possible." After all, Li Minghao has been defeated, and there is no reason why we will not be defeated. After he recovered, when he heard about Li Minghao, he began to feel uneasy, lest he underestimate the red thief, so as not to end up with the same sad lesson, and many times, the lesson will be dead.

"Daddy, what do you mean by that?" Zhang Hongfan was puzzled and continued to ask.

"Do you know what kind of existence we are in the hearts of the Mongols?"

Zhang Hongfan froze for a moment, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Is it a butcher's knife?"

"That's right. In the eyes of the Mongols and the Semu, we were always just tools for them to conquer the whole of the Central Plains, to plunder more money for them, to plunder more fields, to satisfy their growing desires. After all, their number is so small, less than a million, and we Han people are really numerous, as many as tens of millions. Without a suitable butcher's knife, it is impossible to make this Central Plains subjugated. The voice was very low, and Zhang Xiu had already shown a trace of slackness.

"That's why they started recruiting people like me, Shi Tianze, Li Minghao, Li Pu and Yan Shi. In order to protect the safety of my people, I betrayed the Jin Dynasty and joined the Mongol army, becoming a member of the Central Plains. And after all these decades, I don't know how much blood I have stained my hands and how many loyal and righteous people have been killed. If you want to turn back, I am afraid that no one will believe it, and no one will listen to it. ”

Whispering in a shallow voice, his words were like sleeping pills, gradually recalling the old days, and the nightmare that had enveloped him day and night, making him tortured and uncomfortable all night, still lingered in his mind, never dissolved.

"Father!

opened his mouth, Zhang Hongfan felt weird, what was his father telling this for at this time?

Zhang Xiu just shook his head and said with a wry smile: "But the so-called non-my race, its heart must be different." Although the Great Khan of the present day has a generous amount of loyalty and forgiveness, fortunately all his actions are to measure the time and strength, and there is nothing wrong, under his rule, not only the destruction of the Jin Dynasty, but also the establishment of a state, the establishment of Confucianism, the use of prosperity, can be said to be benevolent and frugal. However, the rest of the people are not like this, they still look at us and others, and there are many constraints in their actions, so as to prevent our strength from growing. It is they who have tried to keep us in order to secure their dominance. ”

"Hehe!" sneered a few times, but Zhang Xiu was a little angry: "There is still a Southern Dynasty that has not been destroyed, and those guys have begun to plan this matter? It seems that they finally can't bear it? Are they going to unload the mill and kill the donkey so soon? The birds are hiding their bows, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooking, there is some truth in this." The eyes are even more sad, and it is clear that he looks like he can break through the red dust.

Zhang Hongfan continued to ask, "Father." Are you saying that in this battle, we should not seek to fight, but should focus on protecting ourselves?"

It was just defeated by the army of the Song Dynasty, and it was transferred here before it could be corrected to ensure the formation of a three-way attack, which also made the soldiers in the army full of resentment.

"Naturally. After all, the Red Phoenix Army is very powerful, and it can annihilate more than half of Li Minghao's troops in the field, and its commander must not be a mediocre person. If you easily fall into the trap of the other party, you must damage the fundamentals. Zhang Rou said carefully, which shocked her old man even more.

He once followed behind the second Mongolian prince, and he also knew that these Mongolian people had always been arrogant and arrogant, and had never treated themselves as human beings, and even beat and scolded them for no reason to show their prestige.

Now, the matter of the Red Phoenix Army is even more implicated in these things, which makes people feel even more complicated.

"In that case, then why are you still here to work for Mongolia, father?" asked Zhang Hongfan suddenly, his eyes Yingying didn't know how much emotion he revealed.

"Alas, you think that at my level, you can say that you can retreat. In any case, I am an earth immortal, and just living in a certain place is enough to have an impact on the local government and even the entire national dynasty. Even if you say you won't meddle in local affairs, there will still be people who come to the door. In the face of them, even if you don't take a stand, it is a statement, and it is completely an outlier. It is precisely for this reason that those who control the whole country, in order to ensure the normal operation of the government, then either eradicate the outliers or absorb the outliers. ”

With gloomy eyes, Zhang Xiu thought about the original choice, although he felt painful, but he recalled it now, but he did not have any regrets: "If I retreat like this." What about your grandparents, what about your mother, what about your friends and relatives who are good to you? They have no resistance under the Mongol iron heel, so I have to stand up to ensure the continuation of the family. ”

"Father. Why are you saying this?"

"Nothing. Just wanted to tell you something. After all, you're so old, it's time to start taking over the affairs of the clan. Looking straight at Zhang Hongfan's gradually mature face, Zhang Xiu prayed in his heart.

In any case, the past is irretrievable, so do your best now.

At least, ensuring the safety of his family and the entire Central Plains is still what he can do at this moment.
