Zhang Wenqian lowered his head, Liu Bingzhong, Yao Shu, Shi Tianze, Yan Zhongfan, Dong Wenshan and others, their faces were pale. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Rou stood on the other side alone, looking at everyone, her eyes full of helplessness.

The Great Khan's edict has come down, and General Zhang Rou will lead 10,000 new annexed troops to the west of Lizhou to conquer.

Knowing that it cannot be done, this is not the action of the Mongol court, and the meaning is probably clear.

Hao Jing's betrayal, so that Zhang Wenqian and others unexpected, but also made them more cautious and cautious, there is a lesson of Wang Wentong in front of it, which made Kublai Khan angry, so that Hanchen's status fell sharply, how long has it been, Hao Jing's matter has appeared again, you must know that Wang Wentong and Hao Jing both used to be the most trusted Hanchen of the Great Khan Kublai Khan.

I thought it would be okay to be honest and cautious, but after the Great Khan's edict came down, the Han ministers in the court were cold, and they found it difficult for them to have a good foothold.

Zhang Rou has become a punching bag, including Zhang Tingrui, the senator of the Youth Bureau Marshal's Mansion, but there are still differences between the two.

Zhang Tingrui is purely looking for death, just thinking about taking this opportunity to curry favor with Da Khan and change his own situation, Zhang Rou is purely carrying the black pot.

With 10,000 new annexed troops to conquer the West Road of Lizhou, there is no chance of victory, and it is lucky to be able to survive.

Zhang Rou once went to Sichuan to conquer under the leadership of Claw Capital and Wuliang Hetai, and that time suffered a fiasco, and the 50,000 army only came back with more than 10,000 people, which shows the strength of the Song army.

The words of cursing Hao Jing, no one spoke, some people may think that Hao Jing's choice is correct, no matter what, in the Mongolian court, even if the Han people are loyal, even if they do their best, their status is not as good as the Mongols, or even as good as the Semu people.

If this development continues, the Han ministers of the DPRK and China will have no way out.

Zhang Rou is a fierce general among the Han generals in the court, once received the attention and favor of Kublai Khan, but after the failure of the conquest of Sichuan, its status is also plummeting, although Kublai Khan has no special blame, after all, the Mongolian prince claw is the commander, the deputy marshal Wuliang Hetai led the 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, almost all of them were annihilated, Wuliang Hetai himself was captured, but defeat is defeat, Zhang Rou can not have any responsibility.

Retribution has finally come, and as a former general of the Jin Kingdom, Zhang Rou's suffering has no place to talk about it.

"Marshal Zhang Du, it is a great responsibility to lead the troops on the expedition this time."

Zhang Wenqian finally spoke, this sentence broke the silence, and Liu Bingzhong followed suit.

"10,000 troops to conquer Sichuan, the odds of victory are really not good, Marshal Zhangdu, I don't know what deployment you are going to make...

Zhang Rou finally found a chance to speak, and this time he will not be polite.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this expedition, I am ready to fight to the death, I'm afraid that there is no chance to come back, I personally don't care, I just don't know how you will deal with it in the future...

Zhang Rou's words were interspersed with guns and sticks, he didn't dare to have any resentment against Da Khan, he could only complain on such an occasion, but unfortunately such a complaint was in vain.

Everyone did not answer, Zhang Rou became the commander this time, and the expedition to the west road of Lizhou was actually very delicate, related to the future status of the Han ministers in the DPRK, seeing that the Semu people headed by the Zuo Prime Minister Ahma had the full trust of Kublai Khan, and the status of the Semu people in the court was getting higher and higher, Zhang Wenqian and others were not convinced, in terms of ability and knowledge, the Han ministers were stronger than the Semu people, and many of the construction of the Mongolian court were also the suggestions of the Han ministers.

The reality was in front of them, Zhang Wenqian and others had to bow their heads temporarily, and they had nothing to do.

What everyone is most worried about is actually one thing, that is, if Zhang Rou can't win the battle and chooses to surrender, what should he do, what else do the Han ministers have to say, and how can he gain the trust of the Great Khan Kublai Khan.

But no one will say this, after all, Zhang Rou has already carried the black pot for Hao Jing and even Wang Wentong.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Wenqian, who was the head of the Han ministers, raised his head again and looked at Zhang Rou.

"Marshal Zhang Du, when you are on the expedition, be flexible, if you can't defeat the Song army, or if you find that the situation is not right, you will quickly evacuate and preserve your strength, I don't think the Great Khan will be to blame. . . ."

After all, Zhang Wenqian is a civil minister, and he has never led a large army to fight, so he speaks very easily and is also a layman.

Zhang Rou and Yan Zhongfan and the others frowned at the same time.

The army is fighting, once it is spread out, both sides are fighting with all their might, they are all trying to win, how can they evacuate quickly, if they think about evacuating before the war, it is undoubtedly a plan to fail, or just to tell the Song army, I am not your opponent, I am ready to flee at any time.

Fighting with such a mentality is likely to end up being completely annihilated.

Kublai Khan, the Great Khan, is a generation of heroes, who has led his troops into battle many times, how can he not know the mystery.

Yan Zhongfan, who has rarely spoken, or is hardly qualified to speak, spoke at this moment.

"10,000 troops fighting, can be divided into the front army and the middle army, if the Song army is too strong, the loss is only the front army, the Chinese army can still preserve its strength, if the Song army is weak, then the Chinese army can rush to the front army as fast as possible, and strive to defeat the Song army. . . ."

After all, Yan Zhongfan was born in the military, and he still knew a little about how to fight, but Yan Zhongfan did not fight with the imperial armies in Hezhou, and he was not particularly aware of the combat effectiveness of the Song army.

Shi Tianze, the privy deputy who is most qualified to speak in terms of operations, has never spoken.

In the battle of Huaibei that year, Shi Tianze also fought with the imperial army of Hezhou, and it was also a fiasco, the Mongolian prince Claw Du and the head of Wanhu Wuliang Hetai led the army to fight in Sichuan, Shi Tianze was highly concerned at that time, thinking that this battle would defeat the imperial army of Hezhou and defeat Wu Shaogang, and it was also a fiasco, that is, from that time, Shi Tianze understood that unless the Great Khan Kublai Khan personally led the army to Sichuan to fight, and concentrated the Mongolian iron cavalry to completely defeat the imperial army of Hezhou, otherwise other combat methods, The result is a fiasco.

Shi Tianze had already understood the mind of the Great Khan Kublai Khan, and he would not open his mouth at this time.

Zhang Rou's face barely showed a smile, and he clenched his fists and spoke to everyone.

"Thank you for your concern and brothers, I will do my best for this expedition, and after I leave, I will ask you to help take care of my family. . . ."

Back at the mansion, Zhang Rou was surprised to find that there were already Mongolian sergeants patrolling in front of the mansion.

This was a situation that had never happened before, and after entering the mansion, Zhang Rou's face became gloomy.

In fact, Zhang Rou already had the worst plan in his heart, since Hao Jing could surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, then in a desperate situation, he Zhang Rou could also surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, so at least he saved his life.

Family is Zhang Rou's biggest concern, once he surrenders to the Great Song Dynasty, his family will definitely be killed, so before he sets out, he must make all arrangements to at least keep his family safe.

Zhang Rou had never told anyone about this idea, so he was not worried about being exposed, but what he didn't expect was that the Great Khan Kublai Khan seemed to have paid attention to this aspect, so he sent sergeants to patrol around the mansion.

Zhang Rou sat in the wing room decadently, he couldn't think of any way, this time he led the army to the battle, it seemed that it was a dead end.

Thinking about the previous plot for the position of the military and horse envoy of Chengdu Fulu, Zhang Rou felt that she was too simple, the Mongolian court was controlled by the Mongols, whether it was the Han or the Semu people, they all wanted to make cattle, horses and slaves for the Mongols, and they all had to work for the Mongols, how could they hold great power.

If the current situation continues, Zhang Wenqian and the others should not think about any good ending.

Great Khan Kublai Khan respected and selected Confucian scholars among the Han people, and also absorbed a large number of Confucian scholars into the imperial court to do things, this arrangement and deployment once moved many Han people, thinking that Kublai Khan was a wise monarch, but as time went by, everything changed, and Kublai Khan's original face was still revealed.

It's getting dark, and there are still three days to go, and Zhang Rou is about to set off.

Reluctantly, Zhang Rou slowly walked out of the wing room and paced in the middle courtyard.

The housekeeper came to report that Lord Liu Bingzhong was here.

As if seeing a savior, Zhang Rou hurriedly walked towards the front yard.

The relationship between Zhang Rou and Liu Bingzhong is the best, the two often support each other, Liu Bingzhong's status is higher than Zhang Rou, and there are obviously more places to help Zhang Rou.

Liu Bingzhong had already arrived at the living room and was drinking tea and waiting.

Entering the living room, Zhang Rou hurriedly clenched her fists.

"I've seen Lord Liu."

"Marshal Zhang Du, you don't have to be so polite, you and I are like brothers, don't be so polite."

Seeing Zhang Rou sit down, Liu Bingzhong spoke again.

"This expedition to Sichuan is full of dangers, and Marshal Zhang Du must be extra careful."

Zhang Rou smiled bitterly and spoke.

"I also know that this is the case, but there is no way to avoid it, but to fight to the death with my brothers."

A strange smile appeared on Liu Bingzhong's face.

"Marshal Zhang Du, there are always ways, for example, this expedition, the length of time is not clear, the battle may go well in a month or two months, if the battle is not smooth, it will be difficult to end in a year or two, I have no experience in leading the army to fight, but I still know a little bit, when the strength is not as good as the opponent, relying on the city to defend it, it should be able to buy time."

"There is always a certain reason for the Great Khan to make such a decision, you and I don't have to think about why, but there will be nothing wrong with preserving your own strength and maneuvering with the Song Army to the greatest extent, I thought that if you did so, you can also get the Great Khan's high attention, of course, you are the boss of this expedition, and many times you make the corresponding decision, and what others say is just for your reference."

This time, Zhang Rou did not speak immediately, but showed a smile. (To be continued.) )
