Chapter 717: Tell the Truth

Hojo Shizong thought for a moment, stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Commander Angier, my lords, I have a request, I wanted to talk about it in Kyoto, but I think that all the adults are enough to entrust me, so I want to speak up about it. ”

Angel became a little interested and said, "Tell me about it." ”

Hojo Shizong said: "I am willing to exchange all the Tibetan gold of the Hojo clan for the prince not to kill Zhen, so that he can live a safe life!" ”

Angel and the generals couldn't help but be stunned! Why, it turns out that the Hojo clan still has hidden gold?!

Angier was about to ask about it, when a series of footsteps came from outside, and Li Ting, Liu Guojie and Guo Kan strode in and greeted the generals.

Yuan General You Xian is the most familiar with Guo Kan, and his age is also close, seeing Guo Kan's ruddy face and bright spirits, he smiled and said: "Brother Guo, you silently ran to the Great Song Dynasty to serve the prince, it seems that you have gained a lot." ”

Guo Kan said with a smile: "Brother You, I'm invited, I actually went to the Great Song Dynasty to treat my illness, my illness has to be slowly recuperated, and after recuperation, I have the cheekiness to learn some art of war from the prince, not to mention effectiveness." The fierce generals under the command of the prince are like clouds, what are you doing with me, an old man? ”

Copying Erchi smiled and said: "Old General Guo's reputation for being good at war, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?" The prince is thirsty for talent, knows people well, how can he not reuse General Guo? ”

Huaidu also said enviously: "Yes, with General Guo's ability, he must be prosperous under the prince, much stronger than us." ”

Nang Jia sighed and said, "It's a pity that the Great Khan didn't appoint General Guo in time, forcing General Guo to leave the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Song Du Muda said: "The Han people have a saying, called good birds choose trees to perch. After General Guo Lao returned from the Ilkhanate, he had been at home all the time, and almost died of illness, but he was saved by the king's skillful rejuvenation. If General Guo wants to repay the prince, he naturally has to serve the prince, and we must do the same. ”

Everyone nodded yes, very emotional.

Hojo Tokimune's eyes were fixed on the three people who came in behind, and when they finished greeting them, he immediately asked, "May I ask which adult of my family is taking care of it?" ”

Liu Guojie turned his head, looked at him carefully, and said, "You are Hojo Shizong?" ”

Hojo Tokimune bowed and said, "Exactly." ”

Liu Guojie said with a smile: "You are not small, you dare to be the enemy of the prince, do you really think that the prince who is hiding on several islands in Japan will have nothing to do with you?" ”

Hojo Tokimune sighed: "I didn't expect that the Song army of His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan was so strong, if it was only the Mongol army, I might not be able to lose. ”

Angel smiled: "Don't underestimate us Mongols! ”

Hojo Tokimune shook his head and said, "I'm not arrogant, now that the war is over, I can see it clearly." Although the Mongol cavalry claimed to be invincible in the world, it was not a strong point to attack across the sea, and there were not many boats that could transport weapons and horses to Japan. What's more, if the fortifications of Hakata Bay and Chima Pass had not been strategized by the King of Zhennan, what year and month would the Mongol cavalry be able to break through alone? With all due respect, I was not defeated by the Song and Yuan coalition forces, but only by the king of Zhennan. If there is no King Zhennan, I am as stable as Mount Tai in Japan! ”

The Yuan army was dumbfounded by Hojo Shizong, and said with a wry smile: "You guy, your eloquence is really good, we have captured you, and we have to be taught a lesson by you!" ”

Hojo Tokimune bowed and said, "I didn't want to teach the generals a lesson, I just told the truth." ”

Nang Jialu waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, we are naturally very convinced by the prince, what you said is indeed the truth." ”

You Xian sighed: "Yes, if it weren't for the prince himself leading the army this time, it would not be easy for us to take Japan." ”

Huaidu shouted: "If you want me to say it's impossible! Let's just say that the Red Horse Pass fortification, can we beat it without the prince's bombs and artillery? No matter how many people die, they can't go up! ”

Liu Guojie didn't want to continue this topic, and said to Hojo Shizong: "Your family is with me, and you haven't been hurt at all, you can rest assured." ”

Hojo Tokisume said: "I can't see them, can I take a letter?" ”

Liu Guojie shook his head and said, "No, everything has to wait until Kyoto." ”

Hojo Tokimune reluctantly bowed deeply and said, "Please take care of me." ”

Liu Guojie said with a smile: "The prince has commanded, what are you afraid of?" ”

Hojo Tokimune said again: "I have one more thing I want to ask, where is Hojo Tokikuni now?" ”

Guo Kan said: "You mean the person you sent for reinforcements?" ”

Hojo Tokinomie said: "Yes, his name is Hojo Tokikoku, and I rely on him very much." ”

Guo Kan nodded and said, "He is indeed a man." After being defeated by me, in order to avoid Kamakura being attacked from the front and rear, Hojo Tokikuni gathered the remnants of his troops and fought to the death on the spot. At that time, my infantry artillery had not yet been transported down the mountain, so I sent my marines to attack. Hojo Tokikuni took the lead and was injured countless times, but he resisted me for half an hour. Later, we brought artillery down the mountain and bombarded him with 20 infantry guns at the same time, and it was only then that he and more than 100 of his retainers were all killed. I've counted that in addition to the seven blood holes that were pierced by the iron pellet, there were twenty-seven stab wounds on Hojo's body, three of which were boneless, and he was able to hold on for so long. I have sent for him to be buried alive, don't worry. ”

After Guo Kan finished speaking, all the generals were moved.

Hojo Shizong only nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you General Guo, you have to work." ”

Angier was more concerned about the matter of gold, and said, "Hojo Tokimune, you first explain the matter of hiding gold." ”

Hojo Tokimune coughed lightly, explained the origin of the hidden gold, and said: "These gold have a total of 1.7 million taels, I want to dedicate it to His Royal Highness King Zhennan, Zhenshi is just an ignorant child, I beg you to intercede for him in front of His Royal Highness King Zhennan, and be sure to let him grow up." He bowed to the ground and kowtowed to everyone. Hojo Tokimura and the others also kowtowed together without saying a word.

You Xian and several other generals couldn't help but be greatly moved!

Everyone can see that Hojo Tokimune is a very proud person, but any proud person will not be willing to be humiliated, let alone surrender. It turned out that the reason why Hojo Tokimune returned to obedience and offered the gold accumulated by the Hojo clan over the years was all for his son!

You Xian also has two sons, the eldest son Yongxi and the second son Yonglu, both of whom are ordinary six-grade officials in Zhongshu Province, and You Xian has to lead the army to recruit at the age of sixty-seven, so why not be his son? As long as Cheng Yue says a word, the You family will have a successor!

The generals sighed, and You Xian took the lead and said: "Hojo Shizong, I respect you as a hero, no matter whether the prince agrees or not, I will intercede for you!" ”

Zhang Rongshi smiled: "You guy is a little interesting." When the time comes, I will help you beg the prince, but I can say ugly things in front, the prince does things, and he has never been restrained by others, if the prince has already made up his mind, it is useless for us to kneel in front of the prince and beg!
