"Yin soldiers?" Yao Shu was stunned for a moment: "The prince still believes this?" ”

Kublai Khan was full of interest, raised his eyebrows and said: "Yao Shi and Dou Mo have both said that Zi Bu is strange and confused. The saints have said this, there should be no such thing as Yin soldiers and ghosts, but in Han legends, there are always gods and ghosts, so I want to know, is there such a thing, is it true to borrow Yin soldiers? ”

"I've never heard of it. However, in the "Taiping Guangji" of the Song Kingdom, there is a record, its volume 331, saying that during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, in the south of Luoyang, every night, there are Yin soldiers crossing the border, if there are thousands of cavalry galloping in the night sky, the noise is mixed, like thunder and lightning, the people are frightened, Tang Xuanzong is tireless, please sorcerer to drive it. Yao Shu groaned and said: "It is also said that during the Three Kingdoms, the Wudoumi Sect of Hanzhong Heavenly Master taught Lu, and he had the magical power of borrowing the Yin soldiers, which could drive away ghosts and pawns to serve his life, and the sky was dark when he cast the spell, and the sun and moon were dark. ”

He paused, shook his head and said: "But these are all illusory things, there is no actual evidence, if Zhang Lu is really so powerful, he will not be forced to surrender to Cao Cao by Liu Bei." The incident in Luoyang may also be just thunder and lightning, and the foolish people spread falsehoods. ”

"So, the Yin soldiers of Shimen Fan are also fake?" Kublai Khan's face was filled with regret and boredom: "What a pity. ”

Yao Shu looked at him and said with a smile: "Could it be that the prince wants to compare the Mongolian warriors and the Yin soldiers and ghosts, who is stronger and who is weak?" ”

This sentence should be just a joke, but Kublai Khan nodded seriously and said seriously: "Yes, this is exactly what it means, in the myths and legends of the Han people, the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, and the yin soldiers and ghosts have always been said to be invincible, as if as long as they can borrow the power of ghosts and gods, they can be invincible in the world." If my Mongolian army can collapse and the news spreads, who will dare to compete with my great Mongolia? Our orders are everywhere, and who dares to disrespect them? Master Yao, don't the Han people have a saying that they call killing chickens to monkeys? Let's kill a monkey, or the most powerful monkey, won't the chicken be afraid? ”

He said eloquently, with a clear attitude, and listened to Yao Shu straight to the neck, killing monkeys to show chickens, which is even more unusual.

"This ...... The prince is really very human and has a unique idea. Yao Shu was stunned for a while before he laughed and said, "I hope that the ghost pawn of Shimen Fan is fake, otherwise it will be enough to meet the prince in the future." ”

The two laughed, and just as the Qiang shopkeeper sent a plate of freshly cut hot mutton, the fragrance was overflowing, and Wuliang Hatai and others diligently brought the meat to Kublai Khan and asked him to use the first knife.

Kublai Khan picked up a knife, cut a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and the fatty mutton was chewed by him until his mouth was full of oil, and then he generously pushed the meat plate towards the middle of the table, beckoning everyone to eat.

On the noisy night of the camel city, there was a bright moon, and the bright moonlight shone on the roof of this small wine shop, sprinkling a piece of pure white.

The same moonlight was also sprinkled in a large courtyard in the city of Gongzhou on Tongchuan Road in the Great Song Dynasty.

Unlike Kublai Khan, who was in a happy mood by eating meat and drinking in large bowls, Chen Longzhi, the new Sichuan ruler who sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, couldn't even drink water.

He was arrested by the imperial court and sent to take over Zhao Yanna's mess.

Everyone knows that the Sichuan Gorge four roads are not easy to make, basically these four roads have been all the Mongols' world, the Great Song Dynasty is like a foreigner, there is no place to stand, the rich Chengdu Plain has been burned to rubble by the Mongols, thousands of miles of uninhabited, refugees fleeing from other places along several official roads are endless, even the Yamen of the envoy has to temporarily settle in the Gongzhou Mansion in eastern Sichuan.

Chen Longzhi is a civilian official, but he is a military officer, he has been an official in the Huai River area for many years, and he has a good friendship with the Shandong Red Jacket Army.

If it is usual, this conclusion is a good thing for Wenchen, which means that he can be a feudal official, but if it is put on now, it is a desperate conclusion that will kill people.

The military generals of the Great Song Dynasty are easy to find, but the Wenchen who knows the soldiers is difficult to find, and now there are beacons everywhere, and there is a shortage of talents everywhere, as if Sichuan is the worst, and the situation is the most critical, so it is natural that Chen Longzhi was naturally sent over.

When it comes to fighting, Chen Longzhi is actually not afraid. It's not that he hasn't fought in Lianghuai, the Red Jacket Army swayed from side to side, one would favor the Song Dynasty and the other would rely on gold, and even sometimes he would have eyeballed with the Mongols.

Therefore, Chen Longzhi is a Confucian general, he is thoughtful, flexible, good at finding a way to survive in a desperate situation, and he is also quite bold.

He walked around the courtyard, not for fear of death, but for dereliction of duty.

Literati have arrogant bones, and Chen Longzhi's proud bones are particularly prominent.

He felt that since he came, if he walked away like Zhao Yanna, it would be a great shame to be extremely embarrassed and unable to turn over for the rest of his life.

On the way here, he summoned the personnel of the Sichuan Establishment and Construction Department in advance to hold a meeting on the road, listen to the report, analyze the situation, and understand what kind of situation he will face.

The result was very sad, the more he listened, the colder his heart became, and the more he listened, the more panicked he became.

In the huge Sichuan, in addition to the area of Kuizhou Road in eastern Sichuan, there are still 20,000 or 30,000 people and horses guarding Kuimen, and other places rely on local state officials to gather defeated and remnant soldiers, each guarding various places, resigned to fate, most of these officials dismissed their families, and trapped in the lonely city with the attitude of mourning soldiers with a mortal heart, and the Mongols did not go, and it was a death to go to the broken city.

As for the places that had been broken by the Mongols, they were left unattended like Borderlands.

And the twenty or thirty thousand people on Kuizhou Road, or the Jinghu system made Meng Hui send people over, and the defense line gradually formed after suppressing the scene, if it were not so, I am afraid that the whole of Sichuan will not be able to find an army that can become Chen Longzhi's subordinates.

Chen Longyi thought of this, where can he still eat and drink?

With no soldiers at hand, what should he do to deal with the Mongols? Do you want to poke with a pen?

It was already very late at night, and the city was silent due to the curfew of the war, except for the chirping of insects and the night patrol of the husband, there was no sound at all.

Someone at the door of the courtyard gently pushed open a crack, stretched in a head to look at it, and then shrank back.

Chen Longzhi didn't feel sleepy, the cold stone stool at night made him clear, he saw the head, and shouted: "Come in, I didn't sleep." ”

The man just pushed the door in, it was the individual Sima, who bowed his head respectfully, held a piece of paper, and walked over and said: "It's an urgent report from the direction of Dali, I'm afraid that the adults are asleep, so let's take a look first......"

Chen Longzhi glanced at him and said solemnly: "I am different from the previous envoy, in the future, there is no need to wait for such an emergency, even if I am asleep, you can wake me up directly." ”

Sima hurriedly agreed and retreated.

Chen Longzhi waited for him to go out, picked up the tea cup on the stone table, and wanted to take a sip of the tea that had already been cold, but before he could hand it to his mouth, he hurriedly put it down again, and all his attention was put on the emergency report in his hand.

"Assassination...... Change of ownership...... Word to shoulder king? With the reading speed of ten lines at a glance, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and gradually became one: "Shimenfan?!" ”
