Verses 520 and 521 The end of the great traitor... Man is more dead than man!

After the Tang army cleaned up the battlefield, Shang Zhu and Zha Yinnan came to see Li Luo.

"Zhongtang..."The two of them quickly changed their words as soon as they spoke, "The last general will meet your lord!" "While making a big bow.

"Oh, Boxian, Jinyuan, please get up!" Li Luo called the two of them their cousins, and took their hands very enthusiastically, "I haven't seen each other for a long time, I'm really worried." Now there is Boxian, Jin Yuan helps me, I don't have to worry! ”

When Li Luo was in Fujian Pingzhang, he deliberately made friends with the two. He took advantage of Pingzhang's authority and took great care of the two people's subordinates, and he won a lot of military hearts at that time. Although Li Luo has long been out of office in Fujian Pingzhang, the officers and men under the command of the two ministries still have feelings for the "Zhongtang officials".

Shang Zhu and Zha Yinnan are both in charge of the Yuan army, and they are also the highest-ranking generals of the Tang Dynasty, and they are both independent generals. With these two people returning to Tang, it is indeed a great help to Li Luo and Tang Guo.

Not to mention the rest, just 20,000 soldiers and horses are amazing. Bring money into the group!

Seeing Li Luo so enthusiastic, the two of them were relieved, and said together: "I will abandon the darkness and turn to the light, from now on, I will really be the king's soldiers!" This is a major event to restore the Han family, how can we not wait! ”

Li Luo laughed, looking very happy, and introduced the two of them to the generals one by one.

Shang Zhu and Zha Yinnan were very excited when they saw Wen Tianxiang, and they called "Mr. Wenshan", and they were very respectful. Wen Tianxiang all worked for the Tang Kingdom, which made them even more relieved.

Moreover, the strength of the Tang army far exceeded the estimation of the two, and they could not have imagined that Zhang Hongfan's army of more than 100,000 troops would be wiped out.

First happy, then Wan Zhedu, and finally Zhang Hongfan. These three people connected the entire army, and the entire southeast no longer had the strength to stop the Tang Army, a tiger and wolf division.

Recalling the scenes when Li Luo was Pingzhang, both of them felt that the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became.

You're really... Have no bottom!

Li Luo appeased the two, and immediately ordered the reorganization of the two people's headquarters, and appointed the two as battalion governors, awarded the rank of governor, and gave them the background of great warriors.

The two commanded more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, including more than 1,000 cavalry. Li Luo transferred more than 1,000 cavalry to the cavalry brigade, and then organized these 40,000 people into four infantry brigades, which were reorganized according to the Tang army system.

As for the tens of thousands of traitor soldiers who were captured, some of them were selected as military slaves. The rest were all official slaves, which were used to build water conservancy, city walls, etc.

If the performance is good, the slave status of the military slave can be cancelled after two years, and the slave status of the official slave can be cancelled after five years. Those who do not perform well will always be slaves.

This time, Japanese military slaves also participated in the battle and dared to fight. Since the beginning of the army, the Japanese military slaves have performed very well, and they have been slaves for two or three years, so Li Luo fulfilled his promise and ordered the cancellation of their slave status, gave them Han status, and the excellent ones were incorporated into the Tang army, and they were generally converted into civilian households.

At this moment, the 30,000-day national army slaves cheered and praised Tang Gong's kindness together, and they finally came out.

In this way, even if you don't count the recruits from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, the total strength of the Tang Army's land division will reach 200,000.

…………

Zhang Hongfan didn't dare to go to Fujian again, after his hundreds of thousands of troops were annihilated, Fujian couldn't stop the rebels at all, and it would soon be swallowed by Li Luo.

As for Kudu Timur, Zhang Hongfan was sure that he was not Li Luo's opponent.

Kudu Timur will be defeated by Li Luo!

The only things that the south could stop Li Luo at this time were the Yunnan army, the Annan garrison, the Sichuan garrison, and the Tusi barbarians.

These troops and horses add up to hundreds of thousands, if they fight well, it will be enough to destroy Li Luo. But before these large armies came to the southeast, no one could stop Li Luo from swallowing the southeast.

Li Luo, it's really big!

An army of more than 100,000 is gone. He has fought a battle for half his life, and he has never been defeated today!

With this defeat, his reputation was also lost. Even the glory and wealth of the Zhang family will also disappear.

Go down in flames.

One loses... Ruined all!

Zhang Hongfan's heart was filled with extreme unwillingness, as well as uncontrollable fear. He fought desperately and fled all the way to the southwest.

In fact, except for Guangzhou, the entire Guangdong Province was recovered by Zhang Hongfan, and it was still in the hands of the Yuan court.

But Zhang Hongfan couldn't enter the city.

Because these cities are not heavily defended at all, even if they enter the city, they will be broken by the rebels, and they will not be able to escape.

Then the only way to run southwest is to run.

Although Li Luo sent nearly 20,000 cavalry to chase in three directions, because Zhang Hongfan ran for a quarter of an hour, he did not catch up for half a day.

You must know that the smaller the cavalry team, the faster the journey, the larger the cavalry team, the slower the journey, and there is no small cavalry flexibility.

As a result, Zhang Hongfan's more than 2,000 cavalry actually threw the Tang army's pursuers out for dozens of miles.

A day later, the cavalry of more than 2,000 troops continued to flee for hundreds of miles, so the horses were almost exhausted and could no longer gallop.

And the cavalry of the Tang Army, which was chasing behind him, simply let half of the cavalry dismount, free half of the horses, and chase after one person and two horses.

The cunning Zhang Hongfan guessed that the pursuers might do this, so the man decided to abandon his horse and flee on foot in order to escape for his life.

The Mongolian general Adu, couldn't help but break out any longer.

"Zhang Hongfan! It was you, an incompetent coward, who buried an army of more than 100,000! Ah Du's war horse fell down tired and foamed, he left his beloved war horse, and whipped Zhang Hongfan with a whip.

"You dare! I'm still the general of Pingnan! How dare you commit it! Zhang Hongfan was also angry, and his hundreds of guards also glared at Ah Du.

"General Pingnan? Phew! Ah Du was furious, "You go back to Dadu and see that Da Khan doesn't skin you!" You are a lowly slave who has buried hundreds of thousands of troops, and you still have the face to think that you are a general! ”

"Hit! Kill this Hannu! Ah Du ordered.

But the Mongol soldiers were unmoved, and no one listened to Adu.

Why?

Because even if Zhang Hongfan was defeated, he was still the Duke of Qi Guo, the capital of Jiubadu, and the general of Pingnan.

Seeing that the Mongolian soldiers ignored their orders, although they trembled with anger, they couldn't do anything about Zhang Hongfan.

Zhang Hongfan originally wanted to flee separately and reduce the target, but at this time, he just took the opportunity to go his own way.

"Hmph, since you despise Ben Shuai so much, then go your own way! Ben Shuai wants to see if he will kill me when he returns to Dadu! ”

After Zhang Hongfan finished speaking, he led his personal guard team to trot away, and no longer cared about Ah Du and Adinsfu.

The Lust Eye general, Adinsf, was a Rus, and his blue eyes were full of confusion at this time, and his golden braids were scattered.

"Ah Du," Adinsfu spat at Zhang Hongfan's back, "Either everyone will simply scatter and flee, or fight to the death to live up to the honor of warriors and knights." You say, what should I do? ”

Of course, he wanted to disperse and flee for his life, but he couldn't say it directly.

"Disperse, my Adinsf." Ah Du said with a gloomy face, "Each of our warriors is precious and cannot be sent to death in vain. Go back alive and go to see the Great Khan and tell him what happened. ”

"As you wish." The blue eyes of the Rose man smiled.

Soon, two thousand people were divided into twenty teams and dispersed. But the goal is the same: Wuzhou, Guangxi.

Where is not far from this, there is Wuzhou City, and there are Dayuan soldiers and horses.

When the Tang cavalry caught up, they only saw a lot of tired war horses along the way, but they didn't know the whereabouts of Zhang Hongfan and others.

"They scattered and fled!" Hu Gu was also helpless, so he could only order the cavalry to be divided into several thousand-man squads and pursued separately.

And the party general Li Yi and the Jurchen general Shi Mo Huaide, who arrived later, could only scatter and pursue.

The cunning Zhang Hongfan, how could he really escape on two legs? He led his guards to the east, entered the post station outside the city of Yingde, took out the general's officer seal, requisitioned all the carriages and horses of the post station, and hurried south.

His destination is: Jiaozhou (Annam)!

Why?

Because, Pingzhang of Jiaozhou Province wants Mushu to be his friend, and Shi Bi, the general of the Han army stationed in Jiaozhou, is his old subordinate. As long as he enters Jiaozhou, he will be able to recruit the Annan Yuan army as the general of Pingnan with the help of Yao Mushu and Shi Bi, and make a comeback.

Meritorious service!

What Zhang Hongfan didn't know was that in the direction of his escape, a Tang cavalry happened to chase after him, and he noticed his whereabouts.

It can only be said that he was out of luck.

In the early morning of July 24, Zhang Hongfan finally fled to Xinhui. Zhang Hongfan is very familiar here, because he led the army to defeat the Song army here and destroy the Song here.

Yashan is on the sea south of Xinhui.

Ironically, it's very close to Guangzhou. However, Zhao Liangchao in the city of Guangzhou could not have imagined that Zhang Hongfan, the famous general of the Great Yuan who had destroyed the Great Song Dynasty and forced himself to sit in Guangzhou, was in Xinhui in the west of Guangzhou at this time, and he was still fleeing for his life in embarrassment, with less than 100 people around him.

If Zhao Liangchao knew, he would definitely send troops to pursue him.

It's a pity that the Zhao official family is hiding in the city as an ostrich, and they don't know what happened.

Zhang Hongfan planned to go to the seaside water post to requisition a few ships, sail west along the coast, and go straight to Jiaozhou (Annam),

Most of the sea area of Guangdong was blocked by the rebel naval division, but the rebel naval division did not have so many troops to do everything, and it was safe for him to walk along the sea in a small boat, and it was the fastest to reach Annam.

At noon, Zhang Hongfan arrived at the Bottle Mountain Station, and the water station was in front of him.

Here, he's all too familiar. Across the shallow strait, on the opposite side is Yashan Island!

The army that destroyed the Song Dynasty was stationed here, and there was a mountain cliff here, with the inscription "Zhang Hongfan, the general of the Zhenguo Dynasty, destroyed the Song Dynasty here".

Thinking of these glorious pasts, Zhang Hongfan couldn't help but sigh. Just a few days ago, he was still in high spirits, commanding an army of more than 100,000 people, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

But it's only been a few days, and he's fallen into such a situation!

Zhang Hongfan found the cliff with the inscription that year, and saw that the handwriting on it was still vivid, but when he saw it, he immediately became angry.

It turned out that before his inscription, two words were added: Song people!

As a result, his inscription became: "Zhang Hongfan, the general of the Song Dynasty, destroyed the Song Dynasty here." ”

Zhang Hongfan whipped a whip on it, and said angrily: "How can I ever be a Song person!" Absurd! Come! Shovel these two words! ”

"Wow!" The soldiers immediately moved and used knives to eradicate the word "Song people".

After days of fleeing and hurrying, Zhang Hongfan was tired enough. Coupled with the fact that the Water Post was not far ahead, he decided to rest for a while in this familiar place that brought him glory.

Zhang Hongfan and the others sat down and took out dry food and water, but before they could enjoy a moment of peace, they heard a voice shouting: "They are there!" ”

Zhang Hongfan looked at it and saw that there was a woodcutter pointing at him not far away, and behind this woodcutter was a large group of rebel cavalry.

Finished!

Zhang Hongfan was so frightened that his hand shook, and half of the meat fell to the ground.

"Quick! Launched! Zhang Hongfan, who was in his forties, was as vigorous as a teenager at this time, and jumped on the horse's back with a whoosh, but before he could start riding the horse, he heard the sound of the bowstring, and then his mount neighed, hit several arrows, and threw him off the horse with a stumble.

"Boom—" A group of rebel cavalry rushed in, slashing and shooting arrows, and in the blink of an eye, his own soldiers were completely killed, and he himself was captured by the rebels.

It seems to be a trick of fate. Coincidentally, the place where he was captured turned out to be the place where he inscribed "Zhang Hongfan destroyed the Song Dynasty here".

It's really... Hell alive.

"I'm Zhang Hongfan! Don't kill me, I want to see Tang Gong! Zhang Hongfan was frightened, afraid that the rebels would kill him with a knife, so he had to take the initiative to report his name.

The general of the Tang Army who captured Zhang Hongfan was named Yan Miao, a Jurchen man, the commander of a thousand cavalry brigades in the official residence, and the first batch of village warriors of Li Luo.

"Haha, I know you're Zhang Hongfan! Don't worry, I won't kill you! ”

Yan Mian was very happy. Damn, I finally caught Zhang Hongfan!

No small credit!

…………

On July 26, Zhang Hongfan was escorted to the Meiling camp of the Tang Army.

"Get on your knees!" Several Tang soldiers escorted Zhang Hongfan to the big tent of the Chinese army and knelt down according to Zhang Hongfan.

However, they didn't use much force, so Zhang Hongfan knelt down.

"Zhang Hongfan, a native of Xiabei, meet Tang Gong!"

Although Zhang Hongfan bowed down, he hated a lot in his heart. It's just a little bit, almost an escape.

What the?

Li Luo and the generals were a little surprised. As the general of Yuan Ting Pingnan, he was captured, shouldn't he be a little sold? How do you meet and worship?

Li Luo saw Zhang Hongfan acting like this, and his heart was extremely comfortable.

Hehe, this dog traitor, Lao Tzu can be regarded as catching you. Do you know that Lao Tzu wanted to kill you a long time ago.

"Zhang Hongfan, do you know why there is such a defeat today?" Li Luo said slowly.

Zhang Hongfan smiled bitterly: "Tang Gong is a famous general in the world, and he uses soldiers like a god. If you don't measure yourself, can you be undefeated? And Tang Gong has luck and luck, and he is favored by the mandate of heaven, so he is even more unreasonable. ”

At this point, he was simply depressed to the point of no return. Li Luo, who was originally a minister in the same dynasty as him, but now, he is his subordinate!

Li Luo, Li Luo, why did you want to create a rebellion against the Great Yuan Dynasty? Isn't it good to be your Yue Guogong?

"Hahaha!" Li Luo couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhang Hongfan's words.

When the generals heard this, they all laughed.

Zhang Hongfan's expression remained unchanged, calm and unconcerned.

Obviously, this man's face can support him to make such a difficult action as bending and stretching.

Li Luo suddenly smiled, and said coldly: "Zhang Hongfan, I heard that you once wrote a poem saying that our army's millions of battle robes are red, and they are full of the blood of the sons and daughters of Jiangnan. Is there such a thing? ”

Zhang Hongfan's body shook, his face immediately turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "This is indeed the case." It's just that each was its master back then, and since he was a minister at that time, he should serve the Yuan court, and he also invited Tang Gonghaihan. ”

Li Luo sneered and was silent, his eyes full of killing intent.

Haihan? You're saying it so easily. You traitor, you killed so many people in the south, and now you are a prisoner, and you want to live? Your poem, drenched in blood and bloody, is so proudly written.

Seeing Li Luo's unkind expression, Zhang Hongfan became even more frightened in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Tang Gong! In the next Bucai, I am willing to serve Tang Gong, drive out the Tartars, and restore the Central Plains! In the next, after all, he is a Han person, how can he really be willing to recognize the thief as his father and act as a pawn for the tiger? It's just that Meng Yuan is powerful, and he hasn't met the master, so he has endured the humiliation so far, which is really not the original intention! ”

"Now, Tang Gongju is righteous and anti-Yuan, like the rising sun in the east, shining all over the world, it will surely wash away the dust, clear the demonic atmosphere, and then open the peaceful and prosperous era of the Han family! In the lower view of Tang Gong, he is really the lord of the world. As the saying goes, a good minister chooses the lord and does things! Although he is not a good minister, he is willing to saddle the horse before and after, and the effect is thin. ”

I'll go! Li Luo really obeyed this person, is he so thick-skinned?

Zhang Hongfan, don't you know how disgusting you are?

See you for a long time.

No wonder it is said that the barrier of life and death is the most embarrassing to break. Throughout the ages, many so-called powerful characters have shown their original forms in the face of death.

Li Luo is also rare to be verbose with Zhang Hongfan.

"Drag it down, take it to Lin'an, and after the public trial, execute it to death as an example!" Li Luo waved his hand in disgust.

Several Tang soldiers immediately pulled up Zhang Hongfan.

Zhang Hongfan was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, and shouted loudly: "Tang Gong spare his life!" Under the vow! It's still useful in the next place, Tang Gong! ”

But where is he allowed to beg for mercy?

What awaits him will be a thousand cuts!

I hate to kill myself with a knife, and I want to survive, so much so!

…………

It was not until this time that the news of the annihilation of Zhang Hongfan's army of more than 100,000 troops in the Battle of Meiling in Tang Yuan reached the city of Guangzhou.

When the small court of Zhao and Song learned about it, it was immediately like being beaten with chicken blood, and it was boiling.

Zhao Liangchao and his ministers were all smiling and beaming, as if they had won the Meiling victory.

No wonder they rejoice. Zhang Hongfan almost broke through Guangzhou and destroyed the Song Dynasty's general Meng Yuan Pingnan for the second time. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses recruited by the small imperial court were all folded in the hands of this person. Zhao Liangchao Junchen can be said to hate and fear this person.

Now, this hated and feared person has been wiped out, and he himself has been captured, and it is said that he will be taken to Lin'an Lingchi to be executed, of course they are surprised.

The hearts of the people are happy!

Heaven does not die... Great Song! Fathers and fathers bless!

When Zhao Liangchao got the news, he went to the newly built Taimiao to pay tribute to the emperors of the Song Dynasty as soon as possible, and subconsciously pressed the credit of turning the small court into peace.

As for the role of Tang Jun and Li Luo, he subconsciously ignored it.

At the same time, Zhao Liangchao and his ministers couldn't help but marvel at the strength of the Tang Army, far exceeding their estimates.

Is Wanzhedu strong? Is Zhang Hongfan strong? Very strong. Even if the marshal of Zhedong Province is happy, it is not weak.

But these three Tartar generals were all wiped out by Li Luo's Tang army, and they were wiped out so completely.

How strong is the Tang Army, do you still need to ask?

Therefore, the small court of Guangzhou did not wait long to start worrying.

The Tang army defeated the Yuan army, will it sweep south, occupy the Guangzhou Road, and even attack Guangzhou and destroy the Great Song Dynasty?

In the Jinluan Hall in Guangzhou, Zhao Liangchao, who was discussing in the court, threw out this question and asked for the opinions of the ministers.

Lin Guifang, an important military matter in Pingzhang, said: "The official, the minister thinks that Li Luo will not embarrass the Great Song Dynasty. After all, the Great Song Dynasty is the old lord of the world, and as a Han Chinese, he rose up against the Yuan, how could he embarrass the Great Song Dynasty? Isn't that a criticism of the world? ”

Wang Wan, the secretary of the ministry and the governor of the government, said: "The official, Li Luo is not subject to the orders of the court, and the ambition of the wolf son, in the eyes of the ministers, most of them will come to attack Guangzhou." It's better to prepare gold, silver and jewelry first, in exchange for his retirement. ”

This Wang Wan served as a minister as early as the Song Duzong period, Feng Langzhong, who was born in Jinshi, a real Song Dynasty bureaucratic doctor, and a widowed minister.

"If Li Luo attacks Xing, the official family will propose peace in the name of jointly resisting the Yuan, and make an appointment to be a brotherly country..."

As soon as this person spoke, his tone was still the same.

Hakka general Luo Tan said: "The official, the minister is willing to go to the Tang army camp in person to meet Li Luo." The minister believes that Li Luo will never attack Guangzhou, but the official family is relaxed. ”

How could Zhao Liangchao be unwilling? Immediately said: "In this way, Qing will go..."

Although Luo Tan is a Hakka general, he actually likes to read, Yunwen and Wu, and is fully competent as an envoy.

On the same day, Luo Tan went north in the name of the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty. Since the prefectures and counties were still in the hands of the Yuan court, Luo Tan actually brought 10,000 soldiers and horses.

It's ridiculous to say. Zhang Hongfan's entire army was annihilated, and there was no Yuan court army in Guangzhou Province. But the prefectures and counties were still in the hands of the Yuan court. Although the magistrates of the Yuan Court trembled, Li Luo did not fight, and Zhao Liangchao did not send troops to recover.

There were very few Yuan troops in various prefectures and counties, and no one dared to intercept Luo Tan's 10,000 soldiers and horses heading north. Even the Mongolian Daru Huachi in the prefecture and county did not stop it without self-determination.

It's a spectacle.

Three days later, Luo Tan finally saw the majestic Tang Army camp and the Tang Army soldiers who were like wolves and tigers. Luo Tan was envious and amazed, but he couldn't help but be a little excited, this is also an anti-Yuan soldier.

It's so majestic!

No wonder, no wonder Zhang Hongfan will be wiped out.

With this army in hand, the exorcism of the Tartars may not be unsuccessful.

Luo Tan stationed 10,000 soldiers and horses ten miles away, and after explaining his intentions, he entered the Tang camp with only a few retinues with permission. After he entered the Tang camp, the more he looked at it, the more amazed he became, and the envy was really difficult to hide.

The strongest soldiers in the world... It's a pity that it's not owned by the Great Song Dynasty.

Luo Tan suddenly became a little depressed. It's really... Man is more dead than man!

Li Luo had already received the news that Zhao Song's envoy had gone north, and the reason why he did not return north was to wait for Zhao Song to send someone.

This time, he's going to be a good guy.

"The Great Song Dynasty envoy Luo Tan has seen Tang Gong!" After Luo Tan was taken to the big tent of the Tang Army, he couldn't help but be surprised by Li Luo's youth.

I was also surprised by Li Luo's bearing.

Although this Tang Duke did not call the king and the emperor, he was more like a master than the official family who was called the emperor.

"Your envoy is exempt. Lookouts. Li Luo said with a smile, his attitude was neither enthusiastic nor cold.

Luo Tan's heart was relieved, and he bowed again: "Thank you Tang Gong." Tang Gong was elegant and elegant, which made the ministers feel broken when they saw it. No wonder it was able to restore Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and repeatedly defeated Mengyuan. When I saw it today, I knew that it was not a fluke. ”

After saying a few words that were not nutritious, Li Luo asked directly: "I don't know what your envoy is here for?" ”

Luo Jian said: "Now that the Tang soldiers are strong and strong, and the people of the Han family are all happy. However, the Tartars are still powerful, and the recovery period is unknown. In terms of the world, the Great Song Dynasty is willing to join hands with the Tang Gong to fight against the Yuan, which is about a brotherly alliance. ”

About the country of brothers? Li Luo already knew.

However, he did not want to have any formal relationship with Zhao Song.

In order to restore some of Zhao Song's strength to attract the firepower of the Southwest Yuan Army and the Tusi Army, Li Luo would not occupy Guangdong Province, and would even allocate some weapons and armor of the Yuan Army to Zhao Song.

But the Brotherly Alliance, no.

So Li Luo stopped talking nonsense, and said directly: "Those who fight together against the Yuan are originally directly subordinate to brothers, and it is redundant to establish an alliance of brothers." However, your country can take the 36 prefectures and counties of Canton Road. ”

Luo Tan was overjoyed when he heard this. If the Tang army does not take the Guangdong Road, then the Song army can take the opportunity to recover the thirty-six prefectures and counties!

That's all there is to him.

Who knew that his surprise was not over, but he heard Li Luo continue: "Your country is in difficulty, the widow has it, and it is the same as the Han family, how can the widow sit idly by?" The widow is willing to allocate 30,000 pieces of armor, 30,000 bows, and 30,000 spears to your country to help your country reorganize the anti-Yuan army. ”

Li Luo generously gave more than one-third of the seizure to Zhao Liangchao. But the question is, is it easy for a person like Li Luo to take his things?

What the?

Luo Tan couldn't help but stand up, slammed it to the end, and said in a trembling voice: "Tang Gong is righteous, towering!" Foreign ministers... Thanksgiving, I don't know what to say! ”

PS: That's all for today, good night friends. Ask for subscriptions, tickets. At night, I have to be busy with other things, spinning and turning like a dhara. However, the biggest energy is still in the code word. So, I'm really writing with my heart to repay everyone's support in case of emergency. Quiet!
