Chapter 230: Lucky Han Wunuhan
"Back to the Privy Council, the marshal is waiting for you in the front hall at this time?" Hearing Zhang Shihua's question, the guard guarding the door, after clasping his fists and saluting Zhang Shihua, couldn't help but say so. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When Zhang Shihua heard this, he nodded again, and after giving a look to the guards behind him, he also took Li Wuyi and strode into Liu Futong's marshal's mansion.
"Marshal Qiyu, Master Zhang Shumio has arrived." Just after Zhang Shihua strode into the mansion, a guard guarding the front hall couldn't help but say aloud to Liu Futong like this.
However, after Liu Futong, who was sitting on the main seat, heard this, before he could say anything, he saw Zhang Shihua's tall figure come into his eyes, and heard Zhang Shihua's hearty voice, and bowed to him in a loud voice: "The last general Zhang Shihua will visit the marshal, and the future will make the marshal wait for a long time, and he will be punished with death." ”
"Haha, Bochang came just right, why is it late. It's this handsome, let Bochang you can't even sleep well, don't blame me in your heart! Seeing Zhang Shihua coming, Liu Futong, who had been sitting in the main seat, couldn't help but get up and smile at Zhang Shihua like this.
And when Zhang Shihua heard Liu Futong's smile, he naturally hugged his fists with a solemn face and said: "As a subordinate, it is really my duty to do my best, and the marshal's words are really tormented." ”
When Liu Futong heard Zhang Shihua's words, he didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, then sat back in his seat, and after sitting down, he waved his hand at Zhang Shihua and said, "Bochang, don't be restrained, and sit down quickly." ”
"Marshal Xie!" Hearing Liu Futong's words, Zhang Shihua first thanked Liu Fu, and nodded to Du Zundao, Sheng Wenyu, Wang Xianzhong, and Luo Wensu, who had already come here, and then sat down in their seats.
As for Li Wu, who came here with Zhang Shihua, he just wanted to be a puppet, and stood behind Zhang Shihua without saying a word.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get down to business. All of you sitting here also know that the 100,000 troops of the Tartar Imperial Court are now completely expensed, and this means that the Tartar Imperial Court has no troops available in Jiangbei Province. ”
"So this time, our opportunity is also here. Therefore, at this time, I was ready to change my original strategy of developing westward and attack northward instead. The best thing is that our army can take Kaifeng Fucheng in one fell swoop with the power of great victory at this time, and then take the entire Jiangbei Province, so as to achieve the goal of separating the river from the Yuanmeng Tartars. ”
"Therefore, I have summoned you here today to see what your brothers think about this?" After saying this, Liu Futong couldn't help but take a sip of tea in a hurry, and looked at everyone present with a smile.
And after Zhang Shihua's Zhang Shihua and others heard Liu Futong's words, their faces were not as relaxed as Liu Futong's, but they all showed a dignified look.
After all, although it is said that the Red Turban Army defeated the army of thieves sent by the Yuanmeng Imperial Court in one fell swoop this time. But this time the war also made them see the strength of the Yuanmeng Empire on the side.
Yes, the Yuanmeng court is indeed rotten, but no matter how rotten it is, it is still a big empire that occupies almost one-third of Asia. "Thousands of miles, hundreds of millions of people" This is definitely not a lie, but a fact that cannot be true.
That's right, this time they faced the 100,000 thieves army of the Yuanmeng Imperial Court, and they did achieve a big victory. But do they really have nothing to lose on their own? Apparently impossible.
Not to mention far away, just talking about Shang Cai's Han Biter, the defeat of An Fenglu and the defeat at the beginning of the decisive battle, which added up one after another, they at least lost nearly 40,000 horses. With such a big loss, what kind of victory is it, it is just a miserable victory of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of yourself.
Of course, such a loss is really nothing to the huge Red Turban Army. However, the loss of 100,000 soldiers and horses is nothing to the Yuan and Mongolian courts, which "have a million armor and thousands of miles of land".
Not to mention anything else, Du Zundao, who has been a senior civil servant for at least a few days for the Yuanmeng Imperial Court, understands very well that as long as the Yuanmeng Imperial Court wants to, then an army of thieves of this scale like Yexian will send three or five or even six or seven in succession, and it will not be a problem at all.
Therefore, for what Liu Futong said, leading troops to take Kaifeng Fucheng, these people are really not sure.
After all, what kind of place is Kaifeng Fucheng, in the past, it was the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and now it is also the administrative center of the entire Jiangbei Province, and the number one big city in the world. Compared with such a big city, Ruyang Mansion City and Raushzi Nanyang Mansion City are considered fart.
If you attack a city like this, the impact will be completely different. After all, when your Red Turban Army rebelled, it was under the banner of reviving the Emperor and the Song Dynasty, if the Yuan and Mongolian courts really let you lay down the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty like Kaifeng Fucheng, wouldn't it mean that the Great Song Dynasty had been destroyed for a hundred years and then restored again.
In this way, the Red Turban Army will immediately become a legitimate imperial regime, and this influence will be really great.
It is precisely because of this that Du Zundao has no confidence. After all, those high-ranking officials of the Yuanmeng Imperial Court are not fools, such an important city, they will only look at you if they are crazy to let you be occupied by the Red Turban Army.
Therefore, after being silent for a moment, Du Zundao, as the first think tank of the Red Turban Army, couldn't help but stand up, and hugged his fist at Liu Futong and said: "Marshal, this matter is very risky, it is better to make a decision after careful consideration, it is the best!" ”
"Yes, yes, the marshal can't be a fat man with one mouthful, this kind of thing is too risky, let's think about it carefully, think it out!" Hearing Du Zundao's words, Sheng Wenyu and even Zhang Shihua and others couldn't help but echo like this.
However, when Liu Futong saw Zhang Shihua and others like this, instead of getting angry, he still laughed and smiled at Zhang Shihua and others: "I know that your brothers say this." But what do you brothers understand, can I Liu Futong see it? ”
"Come, brothers, please see, this letter was delivered by Han Wunuhan early yesterday morning. I think that after reading this letter, you brothers will understand why Ben Shuai has such thoughts. With that, Liu Futong also handed over the letter.
Because Zhang Shihua is now ranked fourth, there are also Du Zundao, Luo Wensu, and Sheng Wenyu in front of him, so when the three of them browsed the letters one after another, Liu Futong, who was smiling, couldn't help but smile at Zhang Shihua and asked: "Bochang, among the people who are doing, you should also know a little bit about Han Wunuhan, so what do you think of this person?" ”
"How is Han Wunuhan?" Hearing such a question, Zhang Shihua frowned and was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but answer: "General Han is resolute and ambitious, and in this troubled world, he can be regarded as a rare figure. ”
"Hahahaha, good, I never thought that Bochang, you can not only fight bravely, but also look at people so accurately. Look at the epistle, then. ”
Saying this, the letter also reached Zhang Shihua's hands.
The letter sent by Han Wu Nuhan was not thick, and it all added up to only four pages, so it didn't take long for Zhang Shihua to read this letter, and after reading it, Zhang Shihua, who lowered his head, couldn't help but show an expression that was really like this.
As Zhang Shihua expected before, Han Wunuhan still embarked on the original path given to him by history.
Let's tell you like this, before the tenth month, Liu Futong had to retreat west because he also led the army south first, but it was precisely because of the reason for the westward retreat that Liu Futong, who was pressed for time, had to give up Han Wunuhan, who was stationed in the city father of Guide Mansion.
Because at that time, Han Wunuhan led 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the place where he was stationed was too far north, and it was impossible for Liu Futong, who was too busy to take care of himself, to send troops to meet Han Wunuhan's 3,000 men and horses. Even if he could respond, Liu Futong would obviously not do that, because it was obviously not worth the loss to do this for Han Wunuhan's 3,000 people.
Therefore, Liu Futong abandoned them and chose to withdraw.
And everything that happened after Liu Futong withdrew, everyone can naturally guess it. When Liu Futong withdrew from Anfeng Road with his army in embarrassment, Anfeng Road naturally fell into the hands of the Yuanmeng court again. Under the attack of the Yuanmeng court from all sides, it was obviously impossible for Han Wunuhan to continue to wait for the city father to die.
Therefore, in order to save the lives of himself and his subordinates, Han Wunuhan, who was the deputy of the Red Turban Army, could only lead the remnants of the army under his command to flee to the north with the heart of fighting for his life.
You must know that two or three hundred miles north of the city father is the Yellow River, and after the Yellow River, it is the Zhongshu Province of the Yuan and Mongolian courts, and it is completely at the feet of the Son of Heaven. In such a place, the defense is well deceiving. But looking at it from the side, it can also be seen how critical the situation of Han Wu Nuhan and them was at that time.
But sometimes some things are in line with what we often say, "the most dangerous place is the safest place", I have to say that this time, Han Wu Nuhan, a person favored by the goddess of luck, really made the right bet.
After all, darkness under the light is almost everyone's instinctive reaction, and for this, the decaying Yuanmeng court is naturally no exception.
That's right, as the right prime minister of the Yuanmeng Imperial Court, this time in order to strangle the Red Turban Army of Runing Mansion in one fell swoop, it was indeed for Liu Futong and Zhang Shihua to lay a net-like encirclement.
However, "a wise man thinks a thousand times, and there must be a mistake", as the right prime minister of the Yuanmeng court, this time it can be said that everything has been considered, but this time, he just forgot two points.
The first and most important point is that his brother who is engaged in political work does not have the slightest talent for commanding troops, and letting him be the commander of the army of thieves this time is simply chasing ducks. , so from this point of view, it can also be said that because the Yuanmeng court is not entrusted by people, so at the beginning, the Yuanmeng court fought a war that was bound to lose.
After all, "one general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies", which has also proved in the original history that even without the existence of Zhang Shihua, in the end, Liu Futong can still defeat Yexian's army, but the price paid is greater or smaller.
Of course, this is a digression, so stop there. Let's talk about the detachment of the right prime minister of the Yuanmeng court, the second big mistake he made, that is, he was overconfident in the Yuanmeng court, and forgot to deploy troops in the northwest of the encirclement.
Yes, Han Wunuhan's northern position actually didn't have any decent troops at all, because almost all the troops on this side were also commanded by his brother who he had transferred to him. Therefore, when Han Wunuhan fought for his life to attack Dongming City under the rule of Daimyolu, the Yuanmeng court could not mobilize a single soldier and horse to stop it for a while.
And the result after that, naturally, is very clear.
In an unguarded situation, Dongming was easily taken down by Han Wunuhan with more than a thousand remnants. And after taking Dongming City, Han Wunuhan, who had a foundation, also ushered in a period of skyrocketing strength.
You must know that because of the flooding of the Yellow River, the Jialuzhi River and many other natural and man-made disasters, on both sides of the Yellow River, the refugees who are trying to survive can be described as innumerable.
Therefore, when Han Wunuhan conquered Dongming City and erected a recruitment flag in Dongming City, in just a few days, he asked him to gather a group of 10,000 people in Dongming City.
It can also be seen from this that there are many displaced people on both sides of the Yellow River. Others dare not say that it is not adulterated at all to use the eight words "red clothes are all over the field, and the voice is moving" to describe the scene after Han Wunuhan crossed the Yellow River.
After all, Han Wu Nuhan has said now that he has already attacked Huazhou with great momentum, and he even said in the letter that if he is given two more months, he will be able to take the entire Daming Road. Of course, there is an element of boasting in this.
But no matter what you say, the people and territory under Han Wunuhan's command now are real.
So from this point of view alone, Liu Futong will definitely agree to Han Wunuhan's request in the letter. After all, Han Wunuhan is now just asking for a false name for tens of thousands of households and acting cheaply, and tying up such a subordinate with such a false name, Liu Futong will not agree when he is crazy.
Therefore, after thinking about this, Zhang Shihua, who had always lowered his head, couldn't help but raise his head.
Obviously, Liu Futong wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Bianliang Road. After all, judging from the current situation, this time is indeed the best time to attack Bianliang Road. Thinking of this, Zhang Shihua glanced at Liu Futong, who had also read Wang Xianzhong and had a smile on his face, and couldn't help but fall silent again.
Because he knew that Liu Futong, who had already shown his hole cards at this time, was about to start his performance......
