Cheng Yue led them inside, and Liu Shun and Wang Shiyuan greeted them and bowed.

Liu Shun said with a smile: "Childe, this is an immortal miracle, since ancient times, he has never invited his opponent into a trap and surrendered without a single soldier." Childe actually did it twice, haha, I don't know if there is a third time? I don't have a lot of credit for that. ”

Cheng Yue saw that they were all wearing gloves, and secretly said in his heart that Li Shixiu had done a good job. With a smile, he asked, "Have all the five thousand people in Ali Hague been arranged?" ”

Wang Shiyuan replied: "It's all arranged, kill more than a hundred people who want to cause trouble, and the rest will be honest." Li Fu's men and horses didn't leave, and they wanted to wait for Gongzi to come back and discuss some things with Gongzi, and they were waiting inside. When the thousands of men under Childe heard that Childe had returned, they left half of them to guard the camp, and the others had already arrived. ”

"Okay, lead the way, bring Xie Fangde and those people over, this time we have to discuss it carefully."

Cheng Yue walked in front, Zhou Zhengzhong and Zheng Baode hesitated depressedly, and had no choice but to follow.

Cheng Yue saw a house from a distance, and a large number of people were greeting him at the door. When I saw Cheng Yue, I saluted one after another.

Cheng Yue also returned the salute, and Zhang Guituo and the others showed even more affection when they saw Cheng Yue return safely. Cheng Yue finally finished greeting them, entered the main house, and everyone followed.

At this time, Xie Fangde, Zhang Xiaozhong and others also arrived, and everyone knew each other and didn't know each other.

Xie Fang stepped forward to hold Cheng Yue's hand, so excited that he couldn't speak. After a long time, he said: "The elite of the 10,000 yuan military and naval division, surrendering without a fight, the son's miraculous feats." I should ask the court for merit for my son. ”

Cheng Yue smiled and waved his hand, please sit down. Due to the large number of people, the main room was filled with people at once.

Cheng Yue ordered Zhou Zhengzhong and Zheng Baode to be companions with Ali Hague and others, and then sat on the top.

Li Fu, Xie Fangde and others are all members of the three grades, and there are a large number of other court officials, Cheng Yue is just a white body, but everyone understands that only he is qualified to sit on the top here. Although the officials felt a little strange, they could only adjust themselves.

Cheng Yue looked at the civil and military halls below, all of them were elites who had tried all kinds of ways to save them, and the comfort in his heart could be imagined.

Cheng Yue smiled at everyone and said, "It's hard for everyone to get together, I have three things to say first." The first thing is that the Yuan army is very strong and not so easy to defeat, so our war with the Yuan army will be a long-term process. But in the end, it has to be us who wins! Please keep this in mind at all times. The second thing is that it is the comprehensive strength of both sides that determines the outcome of the war. Comprehensive strength includes many aspects, such as economy, military, logistics, science and technology, psychology, and so on. I can't manage it alone, so I need a lot of people to help me, I don't know who is willing to help me with Lord Li and Lord Xie? ”

Zhang Xiaozhong stood up and saluted Xie Fangde and said, "Thank you for your care of me." I want to follow Cheng Gongzi and confess to my lords. ”

Before Xie Fangde could speak, Zhang Rudan and others also stood up and saluted Xie Fangde, and said in unison: "We are also willing to follow Cheng Gongzi." ”

Xie Fang sighed, got up and saluted Cheng Yue: "Cheng Gongzi, these people are loyal and brave people, I hope Cheng Gongzi will treat them well." ”

Cheng Yue returned the salute and said, "Please rest assured, Cheng Yue will never be disappointed." But forgive the boy, I also want to ask the adults to stay, and I still have to ask the adults to help. ”

Xie Fangde groaned: "I am an official of the imperial court, and this time I lost Jiangdong and came back, I am already waiting for sin, so I naturally want to ask Your Majesty for sin." I really can't stay here. ”

Cheng Yue said: "I don't know if the left and right prime ministers in the court can have a virtuous minister, who can let the adults take revenge?" The adult and Chen Yizhong have always had a grudge, and when the adult returns to the court, will Chen Yizhong let the adult go? No matter how difficult the adults are, in what name can I save them? The life and death of an adult is a matter of one person, but the impact is not small. I finally rescued the adult, if the adult died at the hands of traitors, wouldn't I be busy in vain? When the time comes, there is only one way to avenge the adults. Adults don't want me like that, do they? My lord just stays here, and I will report back to the imperial court, there is a lack of officials here, and I want to see if there is any way for this Chen Yizhong to harm my lord? ”

As soon as the words were finished, even Li Fu was nodding yes.

Zhang Xiaozhong, Zhang Rudan and others tried their best to persuade each other.

Cheng Yue hit the railway while it was hot: "After I take back Changzhou, there is no one to govern, and I want to trouble adults." ”

Yin Yu said: "Cheng Gongzi, our Zhizhou is appointed by the imperial court, if the imperial court does not agree, and another person is sent to take Changzhou, how will the prince deal with himself?" "Yin Yu is a person who knows Hengyang and Changsha, and he went to Tanzhou after the loss, so he asked.

Cheng Yue knew that Yin Yu was a talented person, a rare talent, and a talent he wanted to try his best to disturb. So he replied: "I am not a person from the Great Song Dynasty, and the will of the Great Song Dynasty will be obeyed if I want to obey it, and if I don't want to obey, who can do anything to me?" If the court sends someone else, it will just drive him away. If he really has the ability, he can also be allowed to govern other places. ”

"Childe wants to fight against the imperial court?" Li Fu stood up steeply, looked at Cheng Yue with a serious expression, and the others also looked solemn, and even the air seemed to be stagnant in an instant.

Cheng Yue glanced at Li Fu very puzzled, and said: "Master Li, I just said, I am not from the Great Song Dynasty, why not fight?" I came back from overseas to kill the Jin people, who knows that the Jin people have been destroyed, whether to kill the Mongols or not is not necessary for me, I just saw the Mongols killing me Han people resentful of me before I intervened in this matter, never thought of fighting for the Song Dynasty. To put it simply, I have a cooperative relationship with the Song Dynasty, I helped the Song Dynasty defend against the Mongols, and the Song Dynasty provided me with convenience. If not, I can just sit back and watch the Song Dynasty fall, what does it have to do with me? With the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in my hands, where can't I go? I don't know what Master Li means by fighting against the imperial court? ”

Li Fu's face turned red when Cheng Yue said it, and he didn't know how to answer. Not only him, but almost everyone sitting here unconsciously regarded Cheng Yue as a member of the Song Dynasty, but if you think about it carefully, Cheng Yue actually has nothing to do with the Song Dynasty. And Cheng Yue made it very clear early that he still demanded him with his own standards, which was really unreasonable.

Cheng Yue smiled: "Lord Li, it's just a misunderstanding, don't mind." ”

Li Fu couldn't help asking: "But this place is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, how can Cheng Gongzi send his own officials?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Is Sichuan the territory of the Great Song Dynasty?" Tanzhou, isn't it? Koto, isn't it? Can the Great Song send officials over? ”

"That's just occupied by Yuan Bing, what Cheng Gongzi means is that this place is also occupied by Cheng Gongzi?"

"yes, or else?"

"What did you say?" Li Fu was angered by Cheng Yue again.

Cheng Yue looked at him in surprise and said, "Isn't it?" I am not from the Great Song Dynasty, nor do I have an official position in the Song Dynasty, and my army only obeys my orders and does not listen to the Song Dynasty. Although I don't prohibit the people of the Song Dynasty from entering, who has the final say in this place? Is there anyone else but me? This is not called occupation, what is occupation? ”

"You ......" Li Fu was speechless again, thought for a while and said: "Xianggong Wen gave you a warrant, which said that you should be responsible for the war with the Yuan army, what are you not ordered?" ”

"This is not an order, this is Wen Xianggong entrusting these things to me, the warrant is for you to see, I am not from the Great Song Dynasty, how can Wen Xianggong give me an order?"

Yang Ting suddenly stood up and asked, "I don't know why the imperial court doesn't cooperate with you?" If the imperial court orders the execution of Lord Li, Lord Xie, or us, we will be courtiers and should obey the order. What about Cheng Gongzi? ”

Cheng Yue shrugged his shoulders and said, "If it's already my people, then no one can kill them." If the Song court doesn't retract its will, if it really kills people, I can only raise troops to take revenge. The number of people who died on my side will be ten times as many as there were. Chen Yizhong and Liu Mengyan have enough heads for me to cut off? ”

If such a big rebellion is said by others, Li Fu and others are afraid that they have already been criticized. But Cheng Yue is not a person from the Great Song Dynasty, and everyone can't find fault with it.

Yang Ting lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "In this case, Yang Ting is willing to serve Cheng Gongzi." ”

Li Fu was taken aback and said, "Slow." ”

Yang Ting said: "My lord, I have already thought clearly, the traitors in the DPRK and China are in charge, even if we are lucky enough not to die, it will be difficult to achieve our ambitions." If you want to drive Mongolia north and clarify the world, Cheng Gongzi is the only hope. Originally, I was worried that Cheng Gongzi would be restrained by traitors in the court and the central government, and we would be punished. But Cheng Gongzi is fearless, what is my official position? I only hope that the son will treat the Song family well to repay the grace of heaven. After speaking, he knelt on one knee and saluted Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue hurriedly helped him up and said, "Sir, what are these words?" The Song Room didn't feel sorry for me, why should I deal with it? Although rest assured that is. My husband is like a left arm, great, great. Haha......"

Li Fu's subordinates Wu Jiming and Liu Xiaozhong thought about it, and also stood up and said: "I am willing to serve my son." ”

These two people are also not simple, Wu Jiming also served as a solicitor in Hubei, and they are both men who can fight bloodily. In history, Liu Xiaozhong finally surrendered the city after Li Fu's suicide, and it is no wonder that he surrendered.

Yin Yu looked at them, stroked his beard a few times, sighed lightly, stood up and said, "I am willing to help Gongzi from the side." "He is the governor of the state, and he can't give a big gift to Cheng Yue in public.

Cheng Yue didn't care about these etiquette matters at all, and immediately stepped forward to hold his arms and said, "With the help of adults, Cheng Mou is a little more sure." You may be seated. ”

Now almost everyone's eyes are fixed on Xie Fangde and Li Fu. Only the two of them didn't say anything, the two of them have always been known for their integrity, but this matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with integrity, I don't know what choice they will make?

Xie Fang glanced at Li Fu, and Li Fu was also looking at him.

Xie Fang smiled and said, "As long as this Changzhou can be defeated, I can govern it well." ”

"Good!" Some people couldn't help but applaud.

Author's note: Historically, Yin Yu and Li Fu are very dedicated and capable officials, subordinates see them as if they see gods, where they have worked have left a good name, I will not relay the specific record.

Yang Ting's talent is even above them, a genius in the sky, and he is as light as a weight. When I was in the army, I had a clear grasp of the affairs of the army, where there were many people, how much food, and what the ability and background of the big and small officials were. No matter how complicated the matter is, it becomes simple in his hands, and it can be handled properly immediately, and the whole army is in awe of him.

Because Xie Fangde is only a Confucian and does not understand military affairs, after getting Zhang Xiaozhong, he trusts Zhang Xiaozhong very much, and does what he says. But it's a pity that he has only one Zhang Xiaozhong under him, and there is no person who can give advice, although he does not lack the courage to fight bloodily, Zhang Xiaozhong also won the three armies, but he could not break the siege of the Yuan army. After the Tuanhuping was besieged, Zhang Xiaozhong wielded a double knife and killed more than 100 troops, which made the Yuan army angry. Later, the back road was outflanked, the army was unstable, and a Yuan soldier shot Zhang Xiaozhong's horse nose, Zhang Xiaozhong fell from his horse, continued to fight with the Yuan army, and suffered countless minor and serious injuries, and finally fell down after he couldn't support it. After Zhang Xiaozhong's death, the Yuan army respected him very much, and they all called him a good man and gave him a thick funeral.
