A few days ago, when I suddenly saw a secret letter, everyone in the city was overjoyed, and they paid attention to the movements of the Yuan army's camp every night. Originally, the Yuan army was attacking very urgently, but in the last two days, there was obviously some lack of offensive strength, and everyone did not know the reason, and they were happy in their hearts.

On this day, Shen Shi, "Big brother, there seems to be restlessness in the camp of the Tartars!" At the head of the city, Zhang Shide pointed to the Miao military camp in the distance.

Zhang Shicheng and other generals who were looking at the city looked at each other, and sure enough, there were bursts of horns in the Miao military camp, and various banners in the camp could be vaguely seen, obviously gathering sergeants.

"There, too!" Zhang Shixin and his generals pointed to the remaining dozen Yuan military camps.

When everyone looked at it one by one, the camps of the Yuan army were gradually chaotic, each other's horns were in the sky, the dust was flying in the sky, and the restlessness in the Yuan camp was endless for a long time, which was not as serious as in the past.

In the past, this was the prelude to the Yuan army's preparation for the overnight siege of the city, and the Yuan cavalry would first go out of the two wings to the front of the city hundreds of steps away to press the formation, and then all kinds of auxiliaries carried ladders, pushing carts, arrow towers, artillery, etc. out of the camp in turn. The Yuan army besieging the city rushed out of the camp and lined up in the first place.

Zhang Shicheng looked at the sky anxiously, the sun was already thin, and the sun would set in less than an hour, could it be that the Yuan army would attack the city overnight? But why has there been turmoil in the camp for a long time, and there has been no large force of Yuan troops out of the camp? You know, it will take about half an hour for the siege army to be deployed!

He and his subordinates were anxiously pondering, and the soldiers and civilians defending the city went up to the city one after another under the urging of the sergeants, and thousands of people had their eyes fixed on the outside of the city, silently waiting for a possible attack.

The Yuan army has been attacking the city for nearly a month, with countless casualties in the city, and there has been a shortage of sergeants. Nowadays, the people in the city can be said to have filial piety. Those who do not obey the military order and do not want to defend the city have long been hacked and killed by Zhang Shicheng, and all the family assets have been used for military purposes. If it weren't for this, Gaoyou would have fallen long ago.

Today's Gaoyou City has long been dilapidated, and the appearance is barely complete, and it is difficult to see the original majestic and towering magnificence. It's only much better than Linqu City a few days ago.

The ditches outside the city have long been filled in, and broken ladders, broken nest carts, large and small stones are everywhere. During this period, there were countless stumps and broken arms.

"They don't want to attack the city, they seem to be going out, and they don't know where to go." A subordinate general.

"It's not like ah, how do you look out for each other! Not only are the camp gates not open, but the number of soldiers on the walls of the camps seems to have increased! General Shi Wenbing looked at him for a long time, his eyesight was good, and he could see the moles on people's faces a hundred steps away.

When Zhang Shicheng heard this, his body shook and he was surprised: "Really? Did you read that right? ”

Shi Wenbing looked at it carefully again and confirmed: "Back to the prince, the last general really saw that there were many more soldiers on the wall of the Tartar Village. ”

He could see it more clearly, on the one hand, it was also because Tokhtar had cleared Zhang Shicheng's soldiers and horses outside Gaoyou City, and the Yuan army had no scruples, so they simply approached and camped a thousand steps outside the city.

The sun that has not yet set in the west will sprinkle the cold sunlight on the earth, and in the direction of the sunny Yuanying wall, countless dazzling reflections shine from time to time! It was the daylight reflected by the bright knives and guns.

"Could it be Zhao Junyong in the west, and Guo Zixing has come to reinforce the troops?" Senator Yu Siqi said hopefully.

Zhang Shicheng was angry when he heard this, and said with a boxing stone: "Those two cabbage heads will only be the icing on the cake, where will they come to send charcoal in the snow!" On weekdays, letters and gifts are sent, only to say that we have seized Gaoyou, Taizhou, they will come from west to east, come to converge, this army of old thieves arrived, but became a shrunken turtle, only waving flags and shouting at the border, not even the slightest movement. What do you say about raising the banner of righteousness and sharing the world together, fools!"

Seeing that Zhang Shicheng was angry, Yu Siqi whispered: "Maybe it's Zhu Chongba from Chuzhou, but I don't know?" ”

Zhang Shide listened and said with a wry smile: "Although there are some soldiers and horses in that house, but they were squeezed out of Chuzhou by Zhao Junyong and others, Guo Zixing and Zhao Junyong made a fuss with swords and soldiers, and had to go to him to take refuge. ”

"Moti, this bastard! It's not pleasant! Zhao Jun also used some troops to put some troops on the border, and Monk Zhu didn't even come with a letter. I guess this guy is waiting! If we lose the city and die, Monk Zhu will be thrown into the Tartars! ”

Everyone was talking, and suddenly heard a commotion in several large camps of the Yuan army in the distance!

Zhang Shicheng was puzzled, climbed his chest one after another, tiptoed his head, and said urgently: "What is this?" ”

Shortly before that.

Seeing that there was tension between the two sides in the tent, and the momentum was about to erupt, he scolded him sharply: "Although a certain person hangs armor, but he has not left the camp, you dare to openly raise swords in front of a certain person?" ”

Gong Bo, Zhang Kai and the right led the soldiers of the Wei Mansion to collect their troops and retreat.

Tokhtar picked up Hara, repelled the detained sergeant, and said to Tai Buhua: "The public is blessed with the will of the Son of Heaven, and you should take care of the country's future industry and sympathize with the hardships of the soldiers of the Southern Expedition." Hara is offended, but out of public interest, he should not ask about capital crimes, and I don't know what the envoy means? ”

Tai Buhua glanced at each other with Yue Kuo Cha'er and Xue Xue, knowing that if he wanted to get off and hand over in public, he would have to take a step back, Yue Kuo Cha'er bowed slightly, Xue Xue had a gloomy face, and blinked.

Tai Buhua said happily: "Just according to the words of the master." ”

After many years of accumulation, the generals did not dare to disobey, took away their swords, and gradually retreated to both sides. Originally, the accounts were also divided into grades and military dependents, but now they are clearly divided into two classes. It's just that those centrists suffered, and after a brain teaser, most chose to stand on Xuexue's side.

Zhang Kai didn't speak, the corners of his lips just sneered.

Ignoring the thoughts of the generals, he looked around the account and said: "I have been planning for the country for decades, and now the overall situation is set in front, how can I fall short?" Today, I have made up my mind, and I should hand over the military to the envoy in accordance with the holy will, and I hope that you will remember the difficulties of the state and the hardships of the people's livelihood, and abide by the will. Work together, defeat the enemy as soon as possible, and don't use a person's honor and disgrace to cause great things! ”

Gong Bo said with tears in his eyes: "The marshal is gone, I am afraid it will still be difficult to tolerate the imperial court, and his subordinates are willing to abandon their military positions and serve with them!" ”

He was not allowed to take off, looked around at these generals with temples and faces, and said a little choked: "Jun and other great talents, when the wings fly high in the nine heavens, An Neng will be in the grass?" I still have more than 1,000 good horses and hundreds of armor in the camp, and it is useless to stay there. Then he summoned a person outside the tent and ordered him to allocate all the war horses under his name in the camp to the generals, even the generals of the Southern Expedition who were standing side by side with Yue Kuochaer and others at this time, including Yang Tongguan and even Liu Zhai. As for the collection of armor, gold and silver treasures, etc., they were mostly distributed to the commanders of each department.

Since his southern expedition, the local government has donated and seized a huge amount of assets from distribution, and the back accounts have piled up like a hill. Tokhtar is not a pedantic person who is as clear as water, so he is Dona.

At this time, the generals were more grateful for their kindness, and many people began to sob, and the tent was bleak, even Yang Tongguan squeezed out a few tears.

Tokhtar handed over tiger talismans, golden arrows, seals, etc. in public. Put out the incense case, incense burner, offer the holy decree, kneel down, and then take the holy decree in Taibuhua's hands, and can't help laughing at himself. With one hand trembling into his arms, he looked around at the generals in the tent and then said nothing, and strode out.

Hara caught up, knelt on the ground, pulled off his trouser legs, grabbed the ground with his head, and said: "The prime minister's trip, my generation will die at the hands of others, Mo will not be able to follow the adults, and he is not willing to be killed by the gangsters, and now I only wish to die in front of the army!" ”

After saying that, he pulled out the short blade on his waist and killed himself!

Everyone didn't expect Hara to be so strong, and only after Hara started to do it did they realize that Tokhtar and Gong Bodang were shocked.

took off his long sigh, took off the golden helmet on his head, revealed the gray sideburns on both sides, squatted down and hugged Hara's still blood-spattered body, and sighed with tears: "Why do you have a short life!" I'm sorry for Dayuan Sheji, and now I've failed the public! At this point in life, how can you be embarrassed? ”

After a long time of killing, everyone saw the blood splashing on Hara's neck, and knew that he was lifeless.

Tokhoff regretted it, Hara was powerless to say more, but he just pulled off his shirt with all his strength, and his mouth was full of sorrow and indignation.

Tokhtar looked up and saw that everyone had different expressions, happy or worried, shocked or panicked. He said to Xue Xue and Yue Kuocha'er: "The public is an angel, you should be dedicated to national affairs, don't mislead the society for selfish gain!" Hara is dead, please be buried! Don't sin his family again! ”

Too don't spend, the moon is busy and promised.

Hara is bent on death, also because at this time, the power in the army is in the hands of three people, as long as these three people are a little obstructed and assigned an unsolvable task to Hara at will, they can delay the military plane and be guilty. With Xuexue's famous belly, Hara will die.

Tokhtar ordered the good life to be buried in Hara, and he did not pack his bags, but only took a personal guard Qianhu and two of his closest guards to follow, and went under the custody of the sergeant of the right guard. The generals of the original Southern Expedition knelt down one after another.

Tai Buhua and the other three quickly took their seats and raised their accounts, and immediately strictly ordered some generals in the army to return to their own camps, restrain their own sergeants, and not act rashly unless they were ordered. All the grain and grass of the Yuan army directly belonged to the three people for overall distribution, and they were not allowed to transfer it without authorization, and each battalion would only be given one day's grain and rice in the future, and this would last for five days before making adjustments.

As for the generals who were closest to Tokhtar, they stayed in the Chinese military camp for the time being. Tai Buhua and others assigned the personal entourage and deputy generals in Beijing to their battalions respectively, restraining the soldiers and horses in the battalion, and prohibiting noise and noise; All the war horses of the Han cavalry are temporarily monitored by the right guard, and the riders must hand over all weapons, bows, etc., and temporarily put them in storage, etc.

As for how to attack the city, the three of them did not mention it at all, and only ordered the various departments to strengthen their vigilance and suspend the offensive.

The generals listened to the orders one by one, and Gong Bo and the others gradually became cold in their hearts. In this way, they have been disarmed one by one, and they have been ordered to stay in the camp as if they were detained. But at this moment, the general trend in the camp is on the other side, and I have to follow.

Those generals such as Tai Buhua and Yue Kuo Cha'er couldn't suppress their joy, and after receiving the order loudly, they rushed out of the tent to act.

There are cronies who don't know how to give up military power and are indignant, and they can't help but mumble, Gong Bo and Yun Dahe guessed that they must have been controlled by others if they were so simple, just look at Tai Buhua and others who have already secretly contacted these Goryeo, Tubo, Miao army and some of the Su guard generals. I hate myself for not noticing, and I am stupid to get rid of it, and I am calculated by others.

Yue Kuo Cha'er waited for Tai Buhua to finish his instructions, with a smile on his face, and said to Gong Bo and others who were left behind: "The generals in the army have been fighting for many days, and the court knows that you are working hard, so the commander will prepare a banquet here, you can take a rest for the time being, and you can return to the camp after you are full of wine and food!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a sergeant came over and began to set up a few tables in the tent, and soon all kinds of wine and food came up like a stream. After all, Gong Bo and the others were subordinates, so they had to obey the orders to divide the first two sides of the seat.

Thanks athrundust for your attention. Yuexia believes that military merits should not be too heavy, so as not to be able to refer to the rewards for future merits. Moreover, the living standard at that time, the peasant households worked hard for about two to more than ten pieces of silver a year, and the current military exploits should be basically enough. There will be more land incentives in the future. Gu Kai was sent by the Yuan court, but he was imprisoned because he was implicated. There may be some weight in his consideration later in the text. As for the salute of the soldiers, please video the momentum of the military parade of the Celestial Empire.
