At this moment, on the streets of Taiyuan Mansion, a speeding gallop had already arrived in front of the mansion, and he broke in without asking the guard. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When he came to the living room, the man on it turned over and jumped into the living room, and handed over a letter: "Tell the lord that there is an urgent order from Fanzhou! Some people from the north have entered the country to loot food, and there are no guards in the state, and the lord is also asked to mobilize troops and horses to resist the invasion of the people." ”

"What did you say?"

When Xiao Feng heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly gave up his seat and walked quickly to the signal soldier.

The communications soldier immediately handed over the signal stained with three chicken feathers and repeated it again. Hearing this news, those present, including Zhao Zhi, Yang Hui, Qiu Lie and others, were surprised, obviously they were also confused about the current situation.

"What is the reason why those people dare to invade my border?" Xiao Feng was also angry when he got the news.

The communication soldier was slightly stunned, and then replied: "According to the local governor, it is probably because the temperature is too high, which has caused the grain production of the people to decrease, and it is because of this that they went down the mountain to plunder the people. This has been the case for hundreds of years. ”

"I wonder why the Mongol army retreated, it turned out to be a trick to drive wolves and tigers. Xiao Feng sighed heavily, but he felt guilty that he hadn't expected it.

Those people are ethnic minorities living in the mountains, because they live in the mountains and rivers for a long time, so their customs and habits are not similar to the Han people under the mountains, and most of them are gathered together in ethnic groups. And because the place where it lived was the junction of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, and the Western Xia, in order to be able to win over the people in it, the government did not dare to send troops to exterminate it, and could only use money and silver to win over the hearts of the people, which further fueled the morale of these people.

If it is normal times, but if the people are in calamity, they will inevitably invade.

This kind of thing has happened too many times in this Jinzhong.

When Zhao Zhi heard the news, he immediately said: "Since this is the case, then we should immediately send soldiers and horses to intercept the people." Otherwise, if they are allowed to plunder, the people will definitely be uneasy. ”

Obviously, as the current rulers of the entire Jinzhong, they had to lead the army to exterminate these people, otherwise if they were allowed to destroy, the efforts of that year would be completely wasted.

"But at this moment, there is a battle, and if the army leaves easily, the Mongol army will definitely take advantage of the weakness. In my opinion, it is better to send some food to the other party, temporarily stabilize the other party, so that we can free up opportunities, and when the time comes, where will those people dare to commit crimes?" Yang Hui on the side did not agree, after all, he had been to Fanzhou, and naturally knew that most of the situation there was a mixed Han family, and the people would go down the mountain to plunder, but the Han people would also live together, and they would resist angrily, and they would not lose so much in a short time.

"Send food, don't forget, now this food is enough to satisfy us, if we are sending a little to the other party, then what else will we eat?" Zhao Zhi hurriedly shook his head, for those who dared to rob the people, he was only angry, but he had no interest in these enemies.

Yang Hui immediately retorted: "But if we let the other party continue to plunder, I'm afraid that we will suffer heavier losses." How can you just give some food in exchange for the other party to rest down? And if you want to retaliate,"

For a while, the two quarreled again, and the noisy person felt upset when he heard it.

On the side, Qiu Lie hurriedly persuaded: "Two colleagues, don't fight. ”

"In that case, what do you think of Qiu Lie?" Xiao Feng was not interested in stopping the quarrel between the two, in fact, in order to encourage everyone to speak enthusiastically, she could sometimes provoke conflicts.

"In my opinion, if you want to appease the people, you need to fight, but you need to be appeased even more. They are beaten because they have violated the ban and have gone down to the mountains to take food and kill the people, which is a sin that needs to be punished. The reason for the pacification is that they live in the mountains and forests all the year round, and the place where they live is very remote and steep, and it is really impossible to completely eradicate it. Therefore, it needs to be reassured. ”

"Good. Xiao Feng praised, and immediately shouted: "Jin Meng." You're out of the queue. ”

"Mo will be!" Jin Meng walked out, but his face was a little tired.

Since that day, he has thought about it and finally reconciled with Li Lian, and the two broke off their marriage, and they have not been able to get out of their grief in the near future.

Xiao Feng sighed, although he knew that this person's feelings were frustrated, but at this moment, the military tension could not tolerate personal feelings, and immediately ordered: "Previously, because you violated military regulations and had relations with others without authorization, your circumstances are acceptable, and your crime is difficult to prosecute. Therefore, I will take away your position as the commander of the Second Brigade, and the brigade commander will be temporarily in charge of Ma Yundong. Now that it is a time of crisis, I will allow you to make meritorious deeds, so you immediately lead the 2nd Brigade and 3rd Combat Regiment with a total of 1,000 people to Fanzhou. After all, although the people were quite numerous, they had never been trained or equipped with firearms, and a thousand men and horses were enough to suppress the rebellious people. When the time comes, I will certainly reinstate you to your official position. And Yang Hui, as a staff officer, you also went with Qiu Lie, and remembered to make sure that my heart was safe. Otherwise, if the enemy hits the heart directly and cuts off the Fen River, our Chifeng army will be in danger. ”

Sentence by word, he immediately ordered several people to bow down and accept it, and then withdrew from the government and led a thousand soldiers and horses under his command to run towards Fanzhou.

And there, the people who poured out of the mountains and forests were also wreaking havoc in the land of China, constantly creating all kinds of human disasters.

It's just that Xiao Feng felt a little strange when she thought about it later, feeling that the people would be dispatched at this moment, but she was afraid that there would be some conspiracy hidden later, so she called Li Taichen and Sun Wuji, and asked these two people to secretly pretend to be travelers to Fenzhou, and then investigate the situation in its territory, so as to ensure that the situation was completely in her hands.

On the other side, Jin Meng, Yang Hui, and Qiu Lie had already come to Fanzhou after a few days of galloping.

Just at a glance, the three of them were surprised, because before Fanzhou, they had been surrounded by thousands of people and cut off any contact with the outside world, it was obvious that there must be someone behind this, and it was very likely to be Mongolia, otherwise, how could the dozens of races of the people of Fanmin organize such a large-scale action?

Jin Meng was naturally angry when he saw this, and immediately ordered the Chifeng Army to attack.

Not to mention the iron-like discipline of the Red Phoenix Army in this battle, it was the extremely ferocious tiger squat cannon and gun gun, which was enough to shock these people, and they avoided it and did not dare to directly attack it, so that the Red Phoenix Army broke into the city safely, and the people in the city also recovered their calm after seeing the familiar figure.

These days, they already know that this Red Phoenix Army is completely different from other armies, and it is a benevolent and righteous army that will definitely not harm them.

It's just that among these people, there is a person who looks at the Red Phoenix Army who is patrolling the city from a distance, and the corners of his mouth are a little interesting: "That is the Red Phoenix Army that is famous all over the world, and even Shi Tianze is shocked by it?"

And see this person sitting on a green horse, wearing a set of jet-black iron armor, and see that the iron armor is covered with knife wounds and sword marks, you know that this iron armor has been for some time, and on this iron armor there are several iron locks stretched out into the body of the war horse under the crotch, and with every breath of the war horse, a strange light will appear on the iron lock, and it will shrink, tearing off the skin and flesh of the war horse, revealing the blood-red muscles with clear textures, revealing a bit of terrifying scenes.

"Look at the red phoenix, and you will know that the other party is the red phoenix army. Zhong Wei, who was supposed to be under Shi Tianze, appeared here, and he said to Li Yuanfu: "But are you sure you can really defeat the other party?"

"It's nature!"

With a proud face, Li Yuanfu was full of confidence.

His father was Li Minghao, a member of the Communist Party who had joined the Mongol army during the Mongol invasion of Western Xia, and was now in charge of several lands and was a member of the local warlords. After receiving Shi Tianze's letter, he secretly sent his son Li Yuanfu to infiltrate the Hengshan Mountains to gather the people, so as to create an opportunity for himself to send troops. And with the prestige of his party, those people naturally accepted the wind and surrendered, and soon gathered 6,000 people, and took advantage of the fierce battle between the Chifeng Army and Shi Tianze to send troops in one fell swoop to completely block this state.

And now, he only needs to block this state to cut off the north and south of the territory under the command of the Red Phoenix Army, and there is no possibility of communication.

Thinking of all this, Zhong Wei also felt admiration, but when he thought of the fierce appearance of the Red Phoenix Army, he was naturally worried: "But the Red Phoenix Army is very powerful, not only with powerful firearms, but also with strict military discipline, it is a lion in the world, so you have to be careful." "In several battles, he was defeated by the Red Phoenix Army, and it was precisely because of this that he had already been very careful, for fear of capsizing in the perineum gutter.

"That's nature. Although the other party has firearms, after all, the number of people is only 1,000, and it is no match for my 6,000 soldiers and horses in any case. Li Yuanfu opened his mouth and replied: "But you have to remember the covenant, and when we wave our army to the east to break its roots, you will also send troops together to completely destroy this Red Phoenix Army." Got it?"

"That's right. ”

Staring at the army guarding the city gates, Zhong Wei gritted his teeth.

Li Yuanfu smiled and said again: "That's right. Of course, the patriarchs of the Fan tribes are also in a hurry, urging us to pass? It would be terrible if they made them panic. After all, in this battle, they are the main force. Although we are cannon fodder, even as cannon fodder, we should give corresponding respect, right?"

"That's right!"

Zhong Wei immediately showed smugness: "It's just a few pieces of paper to deceive the other party, those Fan clan chiefs are really ignorant, do you really think that those promised things will really be sent?"

Now that the encirclement and suppression arranged by Shi Tianze has been completed, and the preparations for the north have been completed, the next only need to wait for Li Minghao to attack, and the Chifeng Army will completely fall into a dangerous situation of facing the enemy on both sides, and the Mongol-Song War is also about to end, and when it is over, Zhang Xiu will also wave his troops to the north, and the three forces will work together, how can the Chifeng Army survive with that little strength?

In this battle, the Red Phoenix Army must be completely wiped out.

With a vicious curse, Zhong Wei and Li Yuanfu rode their horses and rejoined the army.

Above the city, Na Jinmeng looked at the people in front of him, black pressed one by one, like shredded paper, each gathered together to form a piece, which did not meet the requirements of any camp at all.

However, Jin Meng looked at this scene with hesitation: "This people are really tricky, I'm afraid it will be difficult to repel with the strength in our hands." Thinking that he was full of fighting spirit at the beginning, he was a little hesitant now, although a thousand troops already equipped with firearms were powerful, but he still had doubts about whether they could exert their strength when they were fighting against more than six times the strength.

Although the saying that there is great power in modern society, it still has its fundamental problems in the Middle Ages.

"Not really. Based on the way we fought with each other before, they were outnumbered, but they were too loose and undisciplined. Most of them were frightened when they heard the sound of artillery, and even dropped their weapons and fled directly, and the people next to them had no rules, only knew how to run around, and it could be seen that this was a group of rabble who had never been trained at all. With our strength alone, we only need to be engaged in a battle to annihilate it. Qiu Lie thought about the first battle scene with the other party, but he didn't agree with it very much.

According to his thoughts, in the first battle, he should go all out to completely annihilate the other party, instead of leisurely in this Fenzhou.

"It is easy to defeat, but it is difficult to annihilate a fact. ”

Jin Meng shook his head and explained, "You need to know. These people have their own belongings, although there are only dozens or hundreds, and they do not belong to each other, so they seem scattered. Although we can kill with one blow, but the other party can flee in all directions and sneak into the fields, mountains and forests, what should we do when the time comes? And if we let the other party scatter in the countryside, it will definitely cause the people in the countryside to suffer, which is not what our Red Phoenix Army should do. ”

The lack of discipline and the lack of discipline in that army were both an advantage and a disadvantage.

The weak will to fight, it is difficult to resist a charge of the Red Phoenix Army, which is the disadvantage of the Fan Army, but being familiar with the terrain and being good at escaping is really a headache, which is naturally its advantage.

Qiu Lie immediately understood the reason: "So you plan to gather and annihilate them?"

"That's right. ”

On the other side, Yang Hui was also proud, and said his plan: "And looking at it, it is obvious that the person who led the troops is not prestigious, and there is no thunderous means to rectify these troops." At that time, we only need to defeat the leader of the leader, and then the other armies will definitely lose their fighting spirit and will be difficult to fight again. When the time comes, we only need to declare that those who surrender will not be killed, and that we are willing to provide them with food, then they will definitely surrender in order to survive. After all, not everyone knows what we're fighting for, like our Red Phoenix Army. Isn't it beautiful to pay equal attention to payment, with payment as the main thing and appeasement as the supplement, then the people will definitely be safe and sound, and it will be used by us?"

"That's just as well. It's just how should we proceed?"

Qiu Lie immediately understood, and immediately opened his mouth to ask.

Yang Hui and Jin Meng looked at each other for a moment, and immediately made up their minds. (To be continued.) )
