Chapter 418: Death Understands
At the same time that Xu Zongren was doing ideological work for Zhang Hongfan, the Song army brigade also arrived one after another, and surrounded the remaining enemy troops from both flanks. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Chen Renweng, who was out of space, also leaned over and sent Wen Tianxiang to the social number. Lu Xiufu and other ministers naturally warmly welcomed him, and immediately greeted the emperor after washing and changing clothes.
"Your Majesty, Thief Zhang wants to see Your Majesty!" Zhao Yu and Wen Tianxiang had just exchanged a few words of greeting and expressed their condolences, and Zheng Yong came over to say goodbye.
"Oh, what did he say?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Your Majesty, Xu Shangshu has been persuading for a long time, but after Zhang Thief came out, he didn't talk to Xu Shangshu, but said that he wanted to see the defeated people, and his subordinates thought about it, so His Majesty." Zheng Yong replied.
"Okay, I'll go meet him!" Zhao Yu nodded, looked back and said, "Wen Guogong come with you to see if it is the real body of Zhang Thief." ”
"The sinner obeys!" Wen Tianxiang said respectfully, he was also very curious about what His Majesty would say, and His Majesty's words to the Duke of the Kingdom also made his anxious heart a lot more stable, at least His Majesty did not mean to expel himself from the court at the moment, so there was still a chance to serve the country.
Accompanied by everyone, Zhao Yu went to the deck on the second floor, looked out to sea, and saw a warship in the Yuan army sailing out and anchoring about thirty steps in front of the Sheji. And this is already within the range of the bow and arrow, if someone above suddenly sends an arrow, it is too late for Zhao Yu to hide in the dark, seeing this, Chen Renweng immediately commanded the two dragon boats to quickly move closer, all the cannon doors were wide open, and the ballista was aimed at the enemy ship. The Sheji was also facing the enemy, and a shield wall was erected in front of the emperor, on which were also arranged with archers to draw their bows and ready to fire, believing that if the wind blows, ten thousand arrows will shoot all the people on the enemy ship into hedgehogs.
"Duke Wen Guo, it's a thief standing on the bow of the ship!" With a lantern on the bow of the enemy ship, Zhao Hao pointed to the enemy general standing below and asked.
"Your Majesty, that's the enemy commander Zhang Hongfan!" Wen Tianxiang squinted his eyes and carefully distinguished, and then replied after a moment.
"Well, you get out of the way, don't block me, let people underestimate our Great Song Junchen!" After confirming that it was Zhang Hongfan, Zhao Yu relented and asked the guards in front of him to remove their shields.
"Your Majesty, don't, if the thieves secretly use tricks, it will not be bad for Your Majesty!" The ministers were shocked when they heard this, and at this time they were face to face with the enemy, and the emperor actually asked to remove the shield wall, which was repaid, and everyone admonished one after another.
"Hmph, it hasn't done this yet, and it's a cold arrow on me!" Zhao Hao snorted coldly, he was not worried about this, because he knew that people had weaknesses. And Zhang Hongfan is the same, he is a good general, of course, he knows the truth of loving soldiers like sons, seeing his soldiers being dragged out and slaughtered like pigs and sheep, struggling in the dark and cold water, and being swept away by the current, presumably no matter how hard his heart is, it will be touched.
Zhao Yu calculated that Zhang Hongfan was finally willing to stand up, not because Xu Zongren's 'lesson' was good, but because he could no longer bear his soldiers dying in front of him one by one, so he stood up to exchange his life for the lives of the remnants of his soldiers. Moreover, he has learned Confucianism since childhood, and the idea of generosity and righteousness has long been deeply rooted in his bone marrow, and he will never be troubled at this time, otherwise he will not have to talk to the main general, but he would have disarmed and surrendered long ago.
"Is the ship the King of the Southern Dynasty?" When the shield array was withdrawn under Zhao Yu's strict order, Zhang Hongfan finally saw that it was a child standing on the bow of the ship, and asked loudly.
"I am the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but you are the defeated general Zhang Hongfan!" Zhao Yu knew that Zhang Hongfan called himself King Wei, which showed that the Yuan Dynasty did not recognize himself as an emperor at all, but he could not surrender his identity, so he replied loudly.
"I am Zhang Hongfan, the commander of the two provinces, and I also ask King Wei to let the main general answer!" Zhang Hongfan replied, but asked him to be replaced.
"Haha, Zhang Shuai thinks that he is very unwilling to be defeated by me!" Zhao Yu knew that people looked down on him as a child and didn't want to talk to him, so he replied with a smile, and clearly told him that he was the main general of this battle.
"Your Royal Highness King Wei, although you have courage, you are still young, and you may be able to convince me if you grow for another ten years!" Zhang Hongfan sneered.
"Haha, in another ten years, I will kill Dadu, kill Helin, and kill your so-called Great Khan!" Zhao Yu laughed as if he had heard the funniest thing.
"Oh, King Wei is really courageous, but this commander is still unconvincing, if you are the main general, please let me understand the defeat!" Zhang Hongfan didn't want to quarrel, so he simply picked out the truth.
"Okay, I'll tell you!" Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Zhang Shuai is well versed in the art of war, I have nothing to advise, but you can't be called everyone, because you are greedy and arrogant, so you can't see the situation clearly!" ”
"Haha, am I greedy? Since I have been in the army, I have captured countless treasures, but I have never coveted half of the army. I'm arrogant? I have always been a corporal of Lixian, and I treat every soldier under my command well, they don't eat me or eat! Where is greed and arrogance? Zhang Hongfan looked stunned when he heard this, but smiled again.
"It seems that you really don't deserve to be called a famous general, and at this moment, you still can't even recognize the righteousness and the subtleties." Zhao Yu shook his head disdainfully when he heard this, "Your greed is not greed for profit but greed for fame, it is precisely because you are greedy for earth-shattering merit and the name of the Song Dynasty that you have never been able to recognize the situation and discern the direction." Saying that you are arrogant is because you always think that the Song army is always vulnerable, and you can capture and kill me even if you have one soldier left, so that you can still launch a decisive battle even though you know that Li Heng has been defeated, so that you still refuse to retreat when you have lost more than half of your troops, and you still think that you can give us the final blow, until now the arrogance in your heart makes you still unwilling to believe that you have been defeated by me, a naughty boy. And I just took advantage of your greedy and arrogant nature to lead you into a trap step by step. ”
"I ...... I have been taught, and I really don't complain about being defeated at the hands of His Highness! Zhang Hongfan was silent for a long time, raised his head and said.
"It should be said that Zhang Shuai was defeated by his own hands, and I just took advantage of your weakness!" Zhao Yu shook his head and said.
"Alas, Your Highness is right, I only hate that I know it too late!" Zhang Hongfan seemed to be suddenly much older at this time, and said with a sigh.
"The saint Yun Chao died at night, and it is not too late for Zhang Shuai to understand at this moment!" Zhao Yu looked at his appearance and knew that he had already broken through the defense line in his heart and would not fight again.
"Your Highness is taught." Zhang Hongfan took a deep breath and asked, "I have a word to ask, can the kindness that His Highness said before still count?" ”
"I've always been a man of my word!" Zhao Yu said seriously, there is no need to deceive a dying person.
"Good!" Zhang Hongfan nodded, turned around and said, "The army listens to the order, disarm and abandon the army, and make a living!" ”
"Zhang Shuai, my promise to you also counts!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, but I can't ......" Zhang Hongfan gave a salute and suddenly pulled out his knife and wiped it under his neck, blood spurted out, and the body fell on the bow of the boat...... (To be continued.) )
