There was silence on the high platform, and Changsun Hong's sigh was like a gust of wind that often existed in the mountains, blowing away the sweat on everyone's faces because of the riveting strength they had just trained the soldiers, but it also blew an indescribable depression.

In the middle of the sound, Li Tingzhi shook his head faintly, and said faintly: "The Great Song Dynasty has always established the country with benevolence and generosity, and is not good at killing generals, and not being embarrassed to surrender pawns, why is this matter of Fan Yongji so dealt with at this juncture?" ”

"Because I don't dare to make up my mind to fight the Mongols!" The Tiger Army's Gundam said indignantly: "The imperial court has always been afraid of wolves and tigers, as long as the war starts, there will be a slight delay and setbacks in front of the fuss, for fear of the repetition of Jingkang's shame, we are the generals, the most taboo is that you kill the enemy in the front, but your own people in the back are dragging their feet, and the little achievements you have worked hard to lay will be sold to you when you turn your head, and the soldiers below are complaining, but the senior officials above are noncommittal, and they are really ...... to be a military attache in the Great Song Dynasty."

"Shut up! The imperial court has its own measure, what are you talking about here! We are waiting for military generals, of course, we have to listen to the words of the imperial court, otherwise who else will we listen to? Ai Zhongxiao Lao Chen was steady, and the more he listened to the reckless man of Gundam, the more he spoke, the more he didn't like it, and he scolded him loudly.

Drinking Gundam, Ai Zhongxiao also glanced at Changsun Hong, lest Changsun Hong blame Gundam for talking about the government.

He didn't know that in Changsun Hong's barbarian army, such rhetoric was commonplace, and if the Song court had any ridiculous moves, it was often Changsun Hong who was the first to scold it, and the people below scolded him together.

What is the deep meaning, only the eldest grandson Hong, who indulges and guides this behavior, knows best.

So Gundam complained, and none of the people here felt anything, but it was Ai Zhongxiao who stopped him, which attracted a strange look from others.

"What Gundam said is not unreasonable." Sure enough, the words that Changsun Hong said slowly gave Ai Zhongxiao a reassurance, he stood on the edge of the high platform, pressed the hilt of the knife at his waist and looked at the military array below, like a lion looking down on his own territory: "But it's useless to talk about this now, we should focus on what Kublai Khan is going to do." ”

"Your Excellency, do you mean the intentions of the Northern Prisoners?" Li Tingzhi was a little surprised: "Isn't it very clear?" He wants to defeat Fan Yongji and give other Han heroes a wake-up call. ”

"I'm afraid not necessarily." Ai Zhongxiao pondered: "If it is just to teach Fan Yongji a lesson, it is enough to mobilize 10,000 households in the middle of the Guanzhong River, Liu Heima, Shi Tianze, Za Shu'er, and Monk Hao and others together have nearly 500,000 troops, which is enough to crush Henan." Now he has requisitioned and distributed all the 10,000 households in Jinan, Baoding and other places, and spread them out in an all-round way on the front from Lianghuai to Jinghu. ”

"Could it be that he wants the new official to take office with three fires, and has the idea of crossing the Yangtze River in one fell swoop?" Liu Quan was taken aback and hurriedly said: "If this is really the case, then the imperial court has to guard against it!" ”

Changsun Hong waved his hand, turned his head, and said solemnly: "No, it is not so easy to destroy the Song Dynasty, a few years ago, Kuoduan and Kuduan claimed to have an army of 800,000 went south, and they also suffered a lot along the Yangtze River such as Lianghuai and Sichuan, and they did not touch an inch of land on the other side of the Yangtze River when they died. No matter how strong Kublai Khan's faith is, it will not reach this level. ”

"On the contrary, he is a cautious person, even if he takes risks, he will take measures after taking risks, and if he is brave, if it is over, it will become reckless." Changsun Hong pointed to his head: "He's very smart, he won't do this." ”

As if in order to confirm what Changsun Hong said in his words that it was not easy to destroy the Song Dynasty, the thousands of barbarian soldiers on the school field shouted in unison at the right time, and the voice was majestic, shaking for hundreds of miles, startling a large number of birds in the surrounding woods.

In the shouting, several people were using their brains, frowning and thinking.

Changsun Hong likes this kind of scene, he thinks, this is an excellent way to improve the ability of his subordinates, everyone gets together, think about a problem together, a person's wisdom is always limited, everyone's brains are concentrated together, and the sparks that burst out can often stimulate everyone's potential, so as to be greatly improved.

So at this moment, even though he already has the answer in his heart, he doesn't say it, waiting for someone to touch it and sublimate it through thinking.

Li Tingzhi was the first to raise his head, he looked at Changsun Hong with some unconfidence, and said tentatively with a little hesitation: "Could it be ...... Did Kublai Khan have other plans? ”

"Tell me about it." Changsun Hong encouraged.

"My lord once said that the best way to cover up one thing is to create a bigger thing and use the influence of the latter to cover up the former. So I wonder if Kublai Khan also used this method. ”

He glanced at Changsun Hong, who was listening quietly with his arms in his arms, and the others also looked at him calmly, which suddenly made this general from the Senate have a great increase in confidence.

So Li Tingzhi licked his lips, and continued: "When Kublai Khan first arrived in the Han Land of Monan, he had no foundation, no cronies, and even the information passed from us said that he didn't even bring soldiers over, just a bare-bones prince. ”

"Such a prominent status, but without the power to match, is very embarrassing, so Kublai Khan must be anxious, he needs to stand up for power, in exchange for the loyalty of the Han people."

"How can you stand now? Of course, there are only two things, one is a reward, a lot of money. The second is military merit, leading thousands of households to win battles and using victory to deter. The same as before, Kublai Khan did not, he went to Monan with his clothes in his pocket. And the latter, he didn't either, he didn't have soldiers, how could he fight? ”

Therefore, I thought that Kublai Khan had only one way to gain a firm foothold in the Han land. That is to defeat Fan Yongji, take back all the things that were lost in the Han land, and leave a strong imprint in the hearts of all the households in the Han land. ”

"Behind Fan Yongji, is the Great Song Dynasty Jinghu system envoy, heavy army gathering, once the war starts, it is a big war, it is easy to trigger a national war between the two countries, if there is a dispute in Henan alone, it is inevitable to be passive in the future, so Kublai Khan simply did not do two endlessly, with the temptation of not knowing what interests, mobilized all the ten thousand households in the Han land, and launched a full-scale war on the frontal battlefield, one step ahead of the national war, forcibly seized the opportunity, and caught the Great Song Dynasty off guard. As a result, the imperial court panicked, and with the practice of the imperial court, it would generally take the initiative to seek peace, so as to seize the initiative. ”

"By the time the peace envoy arrives at Kublai Khan, Henan will inevitably be defeated, and Kublai Khan will be able to push the boat down the river, stop the war and truce troops, and also get a large amount of benefits from the imperial court."

He spoke at length in one breath and said a lot, until he finished speaking, and saw that no one refuted everyone, including the eldest grandson, that his mood calmed down.

"Bang Bang!"

Changsun Hong took the lead in applauding and said with a smile: "Well said, you almost guessed what Kublai Khan was thinking in his heart!" If he was here, he would have been so shocked that his eyes would fall out. ”

Everyone also applauded with crackling, praising and praising loudly, obviously thinking that Li Tingzhi was reasonable.

Li Tingzhi gave up his hand again and again, saying that he was ashamed.

"But there's one more thing you said." Changsun Hong and the others stopped slapping, and then said in a deep voice with a dangerous face: "Before Kublai Khan negotiated peace with the Great Song Dynasty, he would go north against the Han River from Dengzhou, the captured Wusheng Army, pass through the Hanshui River Valley, and attack my Hanzhong along the river valley trade road. ”

He looked at everyone, his face was extremely sharp, and the solemnity in his eyes made everyone feel like a thorn in their backs.

"His ultimate goal is to recover Hanzhong and return the land we took from Liu Heima to Liu Heima, only in this way can he get the complete allegiance of the ten thousand households in the Han Dynasty!"
