Dong Junxiao said with a straight face: "Brother Li has something to say, just say it. ”

Li Chahan did not rush to say what he intended in his heart, but asked rhetorically: "A few days ago, did Chief Dong know about the printing of money by the imperial court?" ”

"That's natural, it's because of this that there are more people in Henan who have taken refuge in the red turban thieves."

Li Chahan continued to ask: "Does Chief Dong know why the imperial court insists on printing money at this time?" ”

Dong Shuxiao frowned and said: "Dong is busy with the war, and he really didn't think about the reason for printing money, since Brother Li mentioned this matter, I'm afraid there is another hidden story behind it?" ”

"Manager Dong is really a smart person." After Li Chahan praised it, he continued: "Although I was expelled from Dadu, for the safety of my family, I secretly entrusted someone to place them in Dadu. ”

The secret matter that can attract Li Chahan's attention must be related to the court situation or the war, Dong Junxiao immediately became extremely interested and put on a deaf look.

After arousing Dong Junxiao's curiosity, Li Chahan took a deep breath and said word by word: "In addition to the red turban thieves in the north and south, there were thieves in Jingxiang a few days ago, and not only took Xiangyang City, but even Nanyang Mansion has fallen into the hands of thieves. ”

Dong Shuxiao said dissatisfiedly: "What is the secret? It's been a well-known thing for a long time, hasn't the imperial court already sent a general to lead troops to quell the rebellion? ”

Li Chahan said mysteriously: "I'm afraid that Manager Dong only knows one thing about this matter, but he doesn't know the other." ”

Dong Junxiao said with some surprise: "Listening to your words, it seems that there is another hidden truth in this matter?" ”

Richard Han asked meaningfully: "Compared with Nanyang and Xiangyang, which is more important?" ”

Dong Junxiao thought about it for a while, and replied seriously: "From the perspective of the battle situation, the geographical location of Xiangyang is more important. ”

Richard laughed when he heard this, "What you and I can figure out in a moment, the ministers of the Privy Council will not be so stupid as to see clearly, right?" ”

Dong Luxiao touched his chin and realized the deep meaning of Li Chahan's words: "What do you mean ......?"

"Why did the imperial court issue an edict to mobilize troops and horses to recover Nanyang, but ignored Xiangyang, doesn't Manager Dong think it's a little strange?"

Dong Shuxiao nodded, combined with the matter of printing money mentioned by Li Chahan, and suddenly realized: "Isn't it that the treasury is empty, the military salary is insufficient, and the imperial court is no longer able to send more troops to quell the rebellion?" ”

After Dong Junxiao finished speaking, he felt more and more bad in his heart, natural disasters occurred frequently throughout last year, and there were Haikou in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who repeatedly harassed the sea, and he ordered people to control the river in a big way, and the treasury of Dayuan was no matter how abundant it was, I am afraid that it has already been greatly damaged, not to mention when the treasury of the imperial court has been full since Wuzong?

Dong Junxiao muttered: "I have been away from the court for a long time, and I only care about leading the troops to fight, I really didn't expect that the current situation of the court is already so dangerous......"

After talking about the hidden dangers of the imperial court, Li Chahan continued: "Manager Dong doesn't have to worry so much, Dayuan has been a country for a long time, and it has its own heritage, not to mention that the current prime minister who governs the country is still a virtuous minister. ”

Dong Xiaoxiao nodded silently, so that Li Chahan couldn't see what he was thinking.

Li Chahan continued: "Take the thieves in Xiangyang as an example, the imperial court also has countermeasures, but many people don't know it. ”

"What countermeasures?"

Only then did Li Chahan bring his words to the whole, and said slowly: "As far as I know, the governor of Sichuan Province is recruiting the squires, local tyrants, and officials who have escaped from Xiangyang to avoid the chaos, and persuade them to raise troops for the thieves. For those who contribute more to recruit soldiers, they can not only reduce taxes in the future, but are more likely to directly receive rewards from the imperial court. ”

Dong Shuxiao praised when he heard this: "This is indeed a good strategy to respond to the situation, but this answer is an official who knows how to be loyal to the imperial court!" ”

Richard rarely praised this matter, so he said his true intentions: "Manager Dong, there are many more Mongolian and Semu nobles settled in Henan than Jingxiang, and there are also a lot of local gate lords and wealthy merchants. ”

"What? You want to recruit troops on your own! Dong Shuxiao was shocked when he heard this, without the permission of the imperial court, privately stationing troops is no different from rebellion, he didn't expect Richard Han's courage to be so big!

Li Chahan said: "I know that I can't do such a thing alone, so I came to discuss with Mr. Dong." ”

Dong Junxiao said bluntly: "Brother Li's heart to serve the country Dong has always admired, what are your plans, you might as well say it directly, I will never shirk where I can help." ”

……

"Wen Xuan is not an ordinary person, even I have suffered losses at his hands, so he naturally can't do anything about such a small skill of carving insects."

Timur's eyes lit up, "Father still has a clever plan?" ”

"Just look at it." Chakhan Timur smiled mysteriously and did not say much.

In this way, the team continued to move forward for half a day, and only at the end of the hour did Tsakhan Timur order the whole team to be stationed.

After Han Er was captured, his hands were tied, tied to the back of a horse and he followed the team, and never saw Wen Xuan again.

Seeing the sun rise and fall and rise overhead, he gradually became anxious.

I don't know how Brother Han is doing now?

Why does Master Wen Xuan know the Semu people, and it seems that he is not small?

Will I be killed?

Thinking about it one by one, Han Er gradually felt desperate, he could die by himself, but he didn't want Han Yan'er to die.

So he begged to see Chakhan Timur, thinking that he would also ask him to let himself go no matter what, and he should die by Brother Han's side, not here.

"You are also worthy to see the head of the house?" With the reply of the servant who was guarding him after sneering, Han Er's heart instantly fell into the ice cave.

Where is Wen Xuan?

He shouldn't be a spy of the Yuan army, right?

They didn't even interrogate me, could it be that Wen Xuan had already taken the initiative to say everything? So you don't need me anymore?

Half a day has passed, and Han Er can't help but think about all kinds of bad things.

"You, why don't you get over here!" A guard suddenly grabbed him from behind, and Han Er almost fell to the ground.

"I'll tell you, you'd better be honest with me when I see the head of the house, otherwise I won't feed you and urine!"

Faced with Hu Cong's ugly face, Han Er just bit his lip and did not say anything, and let Hu Cong escort him to see Chakhan Timur.

"Wen Xuan! I want to see Wen Xuan! Han Er saw Chakhan Timur's father and son and immediately shouted loudly.

"Presumptuous! Get down on your knees yet! After scolding, Hu Cong behind him raised his foot and kicked hard behind Han Er's knee.

Han Er couldn't support it, and knelt on the ground with a "poof".
