"What does this Red Phoenix Army mean?"

Receiving a letter from Xia Gui, Zhao Kui looked at the two people beside him and opened his mouth to ask. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Shijie was speechless, as a former servant, he always felt that he should avoid suspicion, so as not to be thought by others that he was a favoritist. When Lu Wende saw Zhao Kui's view, he said what he thought: "In my opinion, I'm afraid that the purpose of the Red Phoenix Army should only be to protect himself, so he contacted us." ”

"Why?"

"Because when I went with Zhang Shijie that day, I saw that although the Red Phoenix Army was full of morale and elite, the use of weapons was not scarred, and the guns in his hands were also worn out. And the Dengzhou generation they occupy is not an area where coal and iron are produced, and it is absolutely impossible to replenish it in a short period of time. Lu Wende saw Zhao Kui asking, so he explained the scenes when he came to Dengzhou and met Xiao Yue and Yu Wenwei one by one.

After Zhao Kui heard this, he also realized: "If this is the case, it still makes sense." ”

"In that case, then I don't know why Zhao Xianggong is distressed?" Lu Wende felt strange, according to common sense, if someone came to take refuge, Zhao Kui should be extremely happy, and even came to meet him in person.

At the beginning, he, Yu Jie, and Zhang Shijie were promoted from the army by Zhao Kui for this reason.

Why did Zhao Kui hesitate so much when he heard the intention of the Chifeng Army to take refuge today?

Zhao Kui said slowly: "It's not that I'm suspicious, it's just that what this Red Phoenix Army did is really strange, but it's different from the usual decisions of others?"

"What's the difference?" asked Lu Wende again.

"Alas. But you never knew that twenty years ago, when the Jin Dynasty had not yet fallen, that war lasted for more than ten years. In that war, as today, many strong men emerged. For example, there are not many heroes such as Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou, just like Hu Shahu, Shuhu Gao Qi, Pu Xian Wannu, and Yelu Liuge, a generation of heroes have also emerged, and as for famous generals like Zhang Hui, Wanyan Heda, Wanyan Chen Monk and Yilapu Azhu, they are also heroes for a while. For example, Yang An'er, Li Quan and Peng Yibin are reckless in troubled times, and there are countless of them. And they are fighting in all directions in this Central Plains, so that they have made life miserable, and the people are not happy. ”

Seeing Lu Wende asking, Zhao Kui's eyes suddenly appeared in the past, at that time, he was young and promising, so he led the army with his father Zhao Fang and his brother Zhao Fan to fight against the generals of the Jin Dynasty.

It was also in this war that Zhao Kui was able to achieve first-class immortals due to fate, and even established the name of "one door and three earth immortals, and three Zhao supporting the sky" at that time.

Helplessly, time passed, his father Zhao Fang died of illness twenty years ago, and his brother Zhao Fan also fell two years ago due to the recurrence of old injuries, leaving only Zhao Kui standing alone in the country, supporting half of the country.

In the past, the name of Sanzhao has long been lonely, but now only the prestige of the Shuangzhu Ding Kingdom remains.

Lu Wende and Zhang Shijie had also heard about these things when they were in the community, but they were young at the time and didn't know many things.

Now, when I hear the parties tell the past prosperity one by one, I can't help but yearn for it, and my soul is disturbed by it, and I feel longing for it when I am surging and turbulent.

After listening to it, Zhang Shijie was curious, so he asked: "What the minister is worried about, is it because he is afraid that this Red Phoenix Army will become the next Li Quan?"

"That's right. ”

Zhao Kui did not hide his worries, and complained: "At the beginning, we were not aware of Li Quan's ambitions, so we made a big mistake and caused him to fall under the command of the Mongols, so that the opportunity to regain his homeland was lost. And although this Red Phoenix Army is intentionally concluded, I am afraid that what they want is not just to live and work in peace and contentment, if there is a hidden misfortune in it, and it will be a disaster for our dynasty, what will happen when the time comes?" After a pause, he complained: "And you also know that Xiao Feng is only a double ten is the body of an earth immortal, and his disciples Xiao Yue and Xiao Xing, although these two are women, their cultivation is no longer below the two of you." Now, these two people have made this decision, which is really puzzling to me. ”

And although Xiao Yue and Xiao Xing are women, their cultivation is no less than their own, and they have achieved this great result in 28 years.

As for the two of them, Xiao Feng, who single-handedly created the Chifeng Army, was even more talented, and his strength was rare at that time, and he was able to fight against Zhang Rou and Shi Tianze with one enemy and two opponents, that is, Yang Weizhong, Yao Shu, Meng Ge, and Kublai Khan.

Such strength can be described as rare in the world.

In terms of the Southern Dynasty, I am afraid that only Zhao Kui and Meng Hui can match it.

That being the case, why did these two people make such a decision to let the Red Phoenix Army belong to the Southern Dynasty Army?

After all, Zhao Kui has been in the world for a long time, and he is unwilling to trust people easily, so he should have this doubt about the Chifeng Army.

Zhang Shijie heard the doubts and immediately persuaded: "If the minister has doubts, he should be." However, I have been in the Red Phoenix Army in the past, and I know that Xiao Feng, who created the Red Phoenix Army, is not a person who is hungry for profit, and as for his two apprentices, although they are women from good families, their temperament is strong, and it is impossible to collude with Mongolia. ”

Zhang Shijie did not hide the secret between him and the Chifeng Army, so he had long been known by Zhao Kui.

Zhao Kui raised the corners of his eyes slightly and asked, "Is this really the case?"

"The subordinates are willing to vouch for this. Zhang Shijie bit his silver teeth, and then leaned over and bowed.

In the past, he had escaped and ascended to heaven with the help of the Red Phoenix Army, and there were more fire people and dust people to teach Xuangong, so there was Zhang Shijie who was beheaded in the Southern Song Dynasty today, and now in order to be able to return the old feelings, Zhang Shijie is willing to use this body as a bargaining chip to bet on the Red Phoenix Army.

Zhao Kui's eyebrows were together, and there was concern on his brows, and only after some moments did he sigh and reply: "Even so, then I will believe you once." ”

"Thank you Zhao Xianggong. ”

Zhang Shijie couldn't hide the joy in his heart when he heard it, and hurriedly thanked him.

Since he joined the Song Dynasty, but only a little more than a year, he has risen from a small soldier all the way to the current stage of the main book, although he is not able to lead the army, but he can be personally taught by Zhao Kui, it is really envious of others, and if there is a chance in the future, it is possible to soar and climb in the court.

Zhao Kui saw that the two were happy, and immediately warned the two, so that the two of them could take precautions: "Of course." It's just that you also have to know that although I agreed to unite with the Red Phoenix Army, the Red Phoenix Army still has to be vigilant because of the unknown friends and enemies, you know?"

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

The Red Feng Army and the Song Army all had moves, and in Mongolia, they were also secretly handy.

In order to facilitate the command of the two Huai armies, Kublai Khan was stationed in the Kaifeng Mansion on Nanjing Road a few days ago.

This place is the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty in the past, although there is no Chang'an, Xianyang glorious atmosphere, but after hundreds of years of accumulation, the weather is thousands, the style is varied, there is a flavor of its own, but it is not the slightest fall of the imperial city, still revealing the majesty of the glorious kingdom in the past.

It's just that after decades of war, and even after being irrigated by the Yellow River, the houses in the city have long been dilapidated, and the roads are full of silt, revealing a bleak scene.

However, at this moment, Kublai Khan did not care about the things in the city, and was staying in the Wende Hall where the Yellow Emperor of the Song Dynasty dealt with political affairs in the past, his eyes were closed, and his thoughts were stored in his body.

Such a scene should be recuperating.

"Whew!"

From his mouth, a turbid breath erupted.

Kublai Khan finally opened his eyes, looked sideways at Yao Shu next to him, and asked, "What happened when I was in retreat and recuperation?"

Since the Battle of Jinghai, he and his brother Meng Ge, as well as Yang Weizhong and Yao Shu, were all severely injured by Xiao Feng's last move, "Phoenix Nirvana Apocalypse", so that his body was seriously injured and it was difficult to continue the fierce battle.

His brother Meng Ge, on the orders of Ogedei, returned to the land of Hara and the forest to recuperate.

And Kublai Khan came to the land of Bianjing, on the one hand, to recuperate here, and on the other hand, he also tried to find the land of Genqiu in the past, so as to open the secret and get the heirloom jade seal hidden in it, so as to heal the wounds of the body, and even make the cultivation progress by leaps and bounds, at least to be able to fight against a strong person like Xiao Feng.

"Your Highness. Yao Shu replied loudly: "According to Shi Tianze, the red thief was not exterminated, but they appeared again. And—" At this point, he paused again, and when he saw Kublai Khan's inquiring look, he continued: "And they have caused even greater trouble." ”

Kublai Khan was furious and shouted in a low voice: "Red thieves, didn't they fight in Jinghai and be completely exterminated?"

In the past, in order to be able to exterminate the Red Phoenix Army, he really spent a lot of effort, and even chased the Red Phoenix Army back and forth for several years.

This perseverance is really annoying.

"That's right. And if it is according to my previous investigation, I am afraid that after the battle of Jinghai, they will go all the way north, and even once in the Zhongdu Mansion, they killed Ahma, and even almost abolished the entire Zhongshu Province. Yao Shu sighed helplessly, only to feel extremely annoyed.

Kublai Khan was also stunned: "No wonder that Ahmad died so strangely at the beginning, and even almost put our army in a trap, it turned out that they did it?"

At that time, he had to go out to fight because of Li Pu's rebellion, so that the Central Capital Mansion was defenseless, so he had already been in today's scene.

"As it should be. Yao Shu looked pity.

Kublai Khan asked again: "Then how did they evade our army's search?"

"It should have been a sea boat and ran to the top of the ocean. Yao Shu replied.

"The ocean?" Kublai Khan frowned, looking annoyed: "Are these red thieves really rats who have become sperm? Even the sea has gone down, no wonder I haven't found each other." "After all, the sea is so vast that it would be a nightmare to search for a ship above the endless ocean.

Yao Shu complained: "Alas. I didn't expect it to be escaped by this group of guys. He immediately leaned down and bowed, but apologized: "This crime, the minister is really unforgivable, and I ask His Highness to punish him." ”

Kublai Khan waved his hand to show Yao Shu to get up, and he also said: "This matter is urgent in my heart, and I have not thought about it carefully, so it was called by the red thief and caused today's incident." It's not about you, you don't need to worry about it. It's just that since the red thief has appeared, then we will never be able to leave them behind and let these calamities continue to cause evil. The voice of resentment was all displayed in his eyes, and his mouth was also full of murderous energy: "I don't know sir, what is the plan?"

Yao Shu thought about it carefully and said: "With our current strength, it is naturally more than enough to annihilate the red thief, but if we add a Song Dynasty, then there are still doubts. It is precisely for this reason that I am afraid that they are very likely to unite with the Southern Dynasties, so that they can unite with the North and the South, and the inside and the outside can be united, and the entire Jianghuai region can be completely occupied. ”

"If that's the case, it's going to be a lot of tricks. Kublai Khan's thick eyebrows were like knives, revealing bursts of evil anger: "I thought that this Song Dynasty should have known that I was powerful in Mongolia since the last time, but I never thought that they would take advantage of this time to attack?" ”

Sawdust flew one after another, which also showed the anger in Kublai Khan's heart.

Yao Shu shook his head slightly and persuaded, "But Your Highness." Since the previous two fierce battles, our soldiers are exhausted, and the weapons in the army are also very depleted, if we start a war with the Song Dynasty at this time, I am afraid that the victory will be inseparable. ”

Since the uprising of the Red Phoenix Army, in order to be able to exterminate the Red Phoenix Army, Mongolia has successively sent three groups of men and horses, totaling more than 100,000 troops, with the intention of destroying it.

However, for nearly three consecutive years, Mongolia lost more than 100,000 soldiers in a row, and although most of them were Han soldiers, there were also many casualties among them, including the Semu people and the Mongolian people, more than 20,000 or 30,000 people.

This is a drop in the bucket for tens of millions of Han Chinese, but it is already a huge number for tribes like Mongolia, whose population is less than a million people.

At least among the Mongols, the two leaders of the army, Kublai Khan and Meng Ge, were already unaware of the controversy, and even slandered and despised them, and even today's Khan Wokotai was also blamed, believing that this loss was a great crime and should be punished before it could be stopped.

Kublai Khan knew about these things, so the reason why he stayed in Kaifeng Mansion in the Central Plains instead of returning to Hara and Lin was to avoid those rumors.

"Then according to the sir, what should I do?" Kublai Khan thought about his current situation, and he was even more eager for the power of the jade seal.

Although he is powerful and has already entered the realm of earth immortals, there are many heroes in Mongolia, and many heroes have emerged in the western expedition, among which there are many people who have stepped into the earth immortals because of fate, and the strength of those people is not inferior to him.

To be able to confront these people, Kublai Khan needed more strength, and the Jade Seal was the only option.
