"So, Lian Xixian and Ah Shu are dead, and the Red Phoenix Army has completely escaped from the Daimyo's Mansion?" frowning between his eyebrows, Meng Ge's face was dark all the time, and his eyes flickered, not a look of chagrin. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Shi Tianze lowered his head, no longer had the arrogance of the past, and replied: "My subordinates are incompetent, please punish His Highness!"

"Alas!"

With a long sigh, Meng Ge's body went limp, and he sat down on the chair, pressing his right hand on his temple, and rubbing it gently.

Recently, he always felt that he was very tired, and he couldn't help it, just because at this moment, the court had already been surging because of Wokotai's serious illness, and the Central Plains was also ready to move because of the repeated actions of the Red Phoenix Army.

Faced with such a situation, Meng Ke knew that although Mongolia was powerful, it was the so-called wood in the forest, and the wind would destroy it, and if he was not careful, the great Mongol Empire might fall apart.

As a member of the Golden Family, and a favourable contender for the Great Khan today, Möngke felt that he had an obligation to solve all of this.

But after all, he has no skills, just living above the temple, or on the battlefield, he may still be able to control the situation, but the two go hand in hand, even with the wisdom of Meng Ge, it is difficult to prevent the situation from continuing to collapse.

Officially, because of this, Meng Ge sighed all day long, showing such a distressed appearance.

Hearing this sigh, Shi Tianze consciously betrayed Meng Ge's trust, and fell to his knees in fear, and replied: "Please also ask Your Highness to punish!"

"Forget it!"

Meng Ge shook his head and replied, "Lian Xixian and Ah Shu are already dead. In the army, there are few talents, and if I punish the generals again, how many people will I have?"

Although he is a Mongolian prince, because of the hostility of Ogedei, there are not many henchmen under his command, as for those who came to defect such as Zhang Dehui, Li Zhi, Yuan Yuzhi and others, they are not approaching with other intentions, once they find that they are not entrusted to people, they will leave immediately, without mercy.

For example, Zhang Dehui, Li Zhi, and Yuan Yuzhi on that day were angry because they saw Meng Ge being subject to Wokotai in every way, and because they saw that Mongolia was still acting in the same way, and their skills had not been brought into play, and even after the destruction of the Red Phoenix Army, they had not been rewarded, so they hung up their crowns in anger and went to Fenglongshan to live in seclusion, calling themselves the three elders of Longshan.

Although Shi Tianze is the only few marquis of ten thousand households in Mongolia, who has been knighted as a prince, but because he is also a Han himself, he is naturally excluded by those Mongolians and Semu people, and he has also been targeted several times in the court.

For this point, Shi Tianze understands, and Meng Ge also understands that the two of them are just marginal figures in the Mongolian court, and now they are just grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can do without anyone.

Shi Tianze snorted and asked again: "Since this is the case, then I don't know what His Highness's plan is?"

Against the Chifeng Army, he has successively lost Zheng Ding, Zhao Shan, Lian Xixian, A Shu and many other famous generals, and the army's morale has also been weakened because of continuous defeats, and there are wolves and tigers in front of them, and now there are also Northern Expeditions in the Southern Dynasties.

"Only now is the only time to go south and withdraw into Bianjing. Meng Ge frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "If I can join forces with my brother Kublai Khan, I should be able to block the two armies at that time." ”

Shi Tianze replied: "I understand. Then he left the tent and returned to his tent.

In the military tent, he thought about what he was talking about today, and he also had sorrow on his face, and he hated the Red Phoenix Army for three points.

Song Zizhen was beside her, and she also felt that Shi Tianze's complexion was not good, so she made a pot of dragon wells and brought it into the camp to teach Shi Tianze to rest for a while.

During the banquet, Song Zizhen saw Shi Tianze's depressed face, so he asked: "General, isn't it because the red thief escaped from the Daimyo's mansion?"

"That's right!"

Picking up the cup, Shi Tianze took a sip and said, "You also know." Although the red thief is powerful, it is not enough and it is difficult to solidify at all. It is precisely because of this that I plan to trap him in the Daimyo's Mansion, just like I did when I annihilated Li Tan, and force him to comply. ”

"But did the other party escape from the Daimyo's Mansion?" Song Zizhen naturally knew all this, and the original plan to exterminate Li Tan was his suggestion.

Shi Tianze closed his head slightly and replied, "That's right." Just yesterday, the other party moved the whole army out of the Daimyo's Mansion with the Xuanyang Zhixin Bead, although our army tried its best to stop it, but the other party was very powerful. The inside should be outside, and last night, he escaped from the southeast to the Daimyo's mansion. I don't know exactly where they are now. His face was full of doubts.

When he forced the Chifeng Army into the Daimyo's Mansion again, he had this thought, but the other party reacted faster, and it was only three days after entering the city, and after the general made up for the grain and grass, he began to do it.

Although Shi Tianze laid out a lot of back-up against the other party, he also let his right-hand men Lian Xixian and Ah Shu take action to stop all this.

But in a hurry, Lian Xixian and Ah Shu did not stop them after all, but lost their lives because of it.

Song Zizhen knew all this, her eyes sank and thought for a moment, and she replied: "According to the current situation, this red thief is only afraid that he should reach an agreement with the Southern Dynasty, otherwise he will not insist on going south." ”

"Southern Dynasty?Is this possible?" Shi Tianze asked again.

Song Zizhen replied: "Why not?" Seeing Shi Tianze's worried face, he replied loudly: "But the general doesn't need to worry." Although the Southern Dynasty was strong, it was chaotic in the court, the monarchs and ministers were unbalanced, and it was difficult for the top and bottom to be united. Although it was a temporary success, it was difficult to survive for a long time, and it was by no means an opponent of Mongolia. ”

If the Red Phoenix Army is a small tiger cub that has not yet grown up, then the Song Dynasty is a huge elephant, although the temperament is harmonious, but the body is huge, a little attention will give Mongolia a ruthless blow, it can be said that Mongolia is the strongest enemy at this stage.

"What do you mean?" Looking at the teacup in his hand, Shi Tianze looked stunned and saw the ripples.

Because of the series of actions of the Red Phoenix Army, the entire world, including Mongolia and the Southern Dynasties, were all involved, and in the possible future, I don't know what kind of waves will be set off.

Song Zizhen replied: "In my opinion, now we should postpone the extermination of the Red Phoenix Army and refocus our energy on the Song Dynasty!"

"Why?" Shi Tianze looked confused and opened his mouth to ask.

Song Zizhen said slowly: "General." You should know that in the recent period, the Southern Dynasty sent Zhao Kui and Meng Hui respectively to occupy Xuchang and Guide Mansion respectively, preparing to attack Bianjing with a combined army, intending to return to their homeland. If they succeed, it will be enough to turn the tide and create a stalemate. Just like the confrontation between the Liao and Song dynasties in the past. ”

"Then according to your meaning, is it for me to give up chasing the red thief?" After being silent for a long time, Shi Tianze's pair of deep black eyes looked at Song Zizhen coldly.

The Song Dynasty was by no means comparable to the Red Phoenix Army, and if it was to fight against such a behemoth, it would be difficult to fight with him Shi Tianze alone, and only by concentrating all the strength of Mongolia could he conquer such a behemoth.

As for the extermination of the Red Phoenix Army?

Naturally, I had to give up.

Song Zizhen closed her head and replied, "That's right. Although this red thief is fierce, after all, the background is too thin to last for a long time. In the general's opinion, he should know that if he pays for nothing, he will die. In that case, why does the general keep pestering the red thief?"

"And what do you think I should do?"

Shi Tianze picked up the cup and poured it into his mouth, only to find that the tea in the cup was already cold.

Repeatedly, but never succeeded.

At this moment, Shi Tianze had already lost his original spirit, and only a little obsession in his heart was left, urging him to attack the Red Phoenix Army.

Song Zizhen stepped forward and asked, "General, the red thief, you can't pay it." ”

At first hearing this, Shi Tianze's face suddenly showed anger, he glanced at Song Zizhen a little strangely, and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Song Zizhen was stunned for a while, and couldn't figure out why Shi Tianze had such doubts, so she said: "Now the red thief is not as powerful as in the past, and it exists in the countryside. Compared with the original Quanzhen Sect, it is not far behind. Thinking of what he had seen among the people, he continued to persuade: "You also know that this Chinese doctrine has a lot of hype to promote the distinction of Huayi and the intention of targeting Mongolia, and with the help of the previous Long March, the teachings in the religion are deeply rooted in the countryside and people. Even if one or two Xiao Feng are killed, they will never be able to change the ending. Now, the red thief is no longer something that ordinary methods can fight. ”

"Hmph! That red thief is only first-class Zhang Jiao and Fang La, how can he be compared with my Mongolia?" Shi Tianze looked disdainful, and said: "As long as the culprit is destroyed, then the so-called Chinese Sect is just like the Quanzhen Sect, and it will only disappear." ”

Song Zizhen's expression was heavy, and she continued: "What the general thinks is ridiculous. It is necessary to know that when the Quanzhen Sect was chased by His Highness before, it was once mixed with the Red Phoenix Army. If the two collude with each other, and all true believers are all believers in the Chinese Sect, who does the general think the Central Plains should belong to?" took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "It is no longer possible to exterminate the Red Phoenix Army at this time, if we do not suppress the rampant Chinese Sect, I am afraid that the whole world will be completely controlled by the Chinese Sect." ”

If others may not know, but Song Zizhen understands that after the Quanzhen Sect failed the debate on Buddhism and Taoism, it fled all the way south and was finally accepted by the Red Phoenix Army.

At that time, the Quanzhen Sect and the Chinese Sect were in the same stream, one using the other army's army to preserve the Taoist system, and the other using the other Taoist temple to spread the teachings.

Therefore, although the Quanzhen Sect is declining, the Chinese Sect took advantage of this time to take advantage of the trend and successfully incorporated the former believers of the Quanzhen Sect into its own command.

"Do you want me to give up on exterminating the Red Phoenix Army?" Shi Tianze was angry and opened his mouth to shout.

Song Zizhen was stunned for a moment, and then persuaded: "General, can't you pause for a while? Now that the south and the north are invading, it is a time of crisis, if you are obsessed with the red thief at this time, you are afraid that the world will be overturned." ”

"No way!"

Throwing the cup in his hand suddenly, Shi Tianze's face instantly turned bloody, and he scolded loudly: "This red thief is not trivial, not only are there two earth immortals in the army, but the things it spreads are enough to shake the rule of my Great Khan." Speaking of which, there was a pause, and then another emphasis.

"The Red Phoenix Army, it must be eradicated!"

Seeing Shi Tianze so insistent, Song Zizhen was speechless, so she had to throw off her sleeves and leave.

After leaving the military tent, there were three people who came together, it was Zhang Teli, Li Chang, and Liu Su.

Seeing Song Zizhen's helpless face, Zhang Teli asked, "Zhou Chen, what does General Shi mean?"

When they and Song Zizhen were young, they were also members of the Jin Dynasty, and later because of the fall of the Jin Dynasty, they had the intention of setting the world and supporting the society, so they agreed to join Shi Tianze together and became his right-hand man in managing internal affairs.

Just because the four of them were all Han Chinese, and they had led their respective rebel armies and Mongol armies to charge, they were squeezed out by the Mongols, Semu, and Tibetan people, and they never showed their talents.

Song Zizhen saw that the three of them were extremely eager, and couldn't help but shake his head, and immediately replied: "General Shi is still persistent and wants to exterminate the Red Phoenix Army. ”

"Chifengjun, he hasn't given up yet?" Zhang Teli was suddenly surprised, a little dissatisfied, and complained: "Didn't this guy know that the Mongolian people clearly had a plan to drive away the wolf and devour tigers, and wanted us Han people to fight among themselves, so that they could reap the benefits of the fishermen?"

With these words, it was obvious that there was great anger towards the Mongolian people, but Song Zizhen did not reprimand him at all, and it was obvious that he thought the same thing in his heart.

Li Chang also continued: "Thinking that we are also in the year of establishment, but we are still stumbling for half our lives, and we have not seen an inch. If you continue to stay in this Mongolian army, I am afraid that you will not see the light of day. In that case, then we might as well hang up the crown and leave like that Yi Zhai Gong. ”

His words immediately aroused the thoughts of Zhang Teli and Liu Su, and they nodded yes together.

Song Zizhen watched from the sidelines, suddenly felt surprised in her heart, and asked, "What do you want to do? Is it possible that you want to leave here?"

"If you don't leave, are you still being instructed here?" Liu Su sneered, with a bit of shame.

The four of them are all momentary talents, but among the four, only Song Zizhen is valued by Shi Tianze, such a scene, even if the friendship between the four is strong, but they can't help but have some complaints, so they have this thought.

Zhang Teli also replied: "The three of us, after all, are not as good as you, and we have been valued by Shi Tianze. Although it is added to the main book, but between the pitches and the pitch need to look up to the snort, who can bear this kind of treatment? What we have learned is not the so-called slander and flattery!"

"That's right. ”

Li Chang said again: "Even the Red Fengjun also knows the method of opening the door and implementing education. In his army, everyone needs to be literate and hyphenation, and be familiar with the method of calculation. As for the secret texts of the exercises, they are not hidden, and they are all broadcast to the public, teaching people to practice every day. Although there was a temporary disadvantage, it did not surpass Mongolia in the future. ”

Zhang Teli and Liu Su listened, both yearning for it, revealing a bit of envy.

Song Zizhen was trained like this, her breath suddenly condensed, and she immediately complained: "But you should also know that the Red Phoenix Army is not a good class. They don't know how many high-ranking officials and scholars they have killed along the way, and they are notorious among the scholars. What do you think you can do if you join them?"

"Hmph! It's better than being driven by the mediocre and shameless people in this Mongolia. ”

The three of them all had disdain on their faces, and immediately left here, leaving Song Zizhen alone with grievances and staying where they were.
