Chapter 306: One Thing Comes to the Heart
When Zhang Rou saw Wu Shaogang, she couldn't believe her eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Shaogang in front of him is too young, he looks much younger than Zhang Rou's ninth son Zhang Hongfan, he is such a young man, commanding the imperial army in Hezhou, actually exterminated more than 100,000 Mongolian troops, recovered Chengdu Fu Road, Lizhou West Road, occupied Yunnan and other places, let Hao Jing return to obedience, and made the Great Khan Kublai Khan have a headache.
Hao Jing was standing to the right of Wu Shaogang, and Zhang Rou only glanced at Hao Jing before lowering her head.
The general of the defeated army is not brave, and Zhang Rou at this moment can only bow her head.
At this moment, Zhang Rou is also wondering what kind of treatment he will accept.
Zhang Rou has seen too many such scenes, I don't know how many generals of the Jin Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty, who defected to the Mongolian court, including several Mongolian Great Khans in the past, what Wokotai, what Meng Ge, and now Kublai Khan, all of them are warm, and the Mongols are bold, which is fully reflected in this point.
In her heart, Zhang Rou has a lot of shadows, and she was forced to surrender this time, firstly, because she took into account the lives of many soldiers under her command, and did not need to lose it in vain, and secondly, because she considered that the Han ministers in the court were becoming more and more precarious.
It has been decades since he surrendered to the Mongol court, and even Zhang Rou herself felt ashamed when he surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty again.
Once you look down on many things, you will become open-minded and indifferent to many things, just like a person who is about to die, tired of the world and unwilling to think too much.
"General Zhang, those officers who are unwilling to surrender, I can let them go and let them go back, but not now."
Wu Shaogang's words made Zhang Rou raise her head sharply and speak desperately.
"My lord, I am the general of the defeated army, and I am not qualified to make irresponsible remarks, but I promised these brothers to let them go, if my lord is unwilling, I have no choice, but is it a bit too much to do this...
Wu Shaogang seemed very patient, looked at Zhang Rou, who was quite excited, and waited until Zhang Rou finished speaking before speaking again.
"General Zhang, you still don't understand my style, it's not unusual to have such worries, you can rest assured, I won't embarrass these brothers of yours, they will definitely be able to return to the Mongolian court, now they are unwilling to surrender, I will not be reluctant, one day, they will regret their choice at this time."
Zhang Rou looked at Wu Shaogang and was stunned again, what did it mean not to let these people go.
Wu Shaogang looked at Zhang Rou and sighed slightly.
"General Zhang, these people have followed you for many years, you think about them, this is good, but since you have surrendered and come to my side, then I have to consider your interests, these people who are unwilling to surrender are roughly divided into two categories, one is to be loyal to the Mongolian court and Kublai Khan, and the other is to worship the strength of the Mongolian court, these two types of people, once they return to Kaiping City or Zhongdu, what do you think they will do?"
Zhang Rou shook her head blankly, where would he think of these things.
"These people left Fengzhou, as long as they returned to Baoji, the first thing they did was to report that General Zhang had returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and such news would be transmitted to Kaiping City and Zhongdu as quickly as possible, and at that time, I don't know how General Zhang's family should leave Kaiping City and gather with General Zhang's army."
"Therefore, these people will have to be grieved for a while, and when General Zhang's family arrives in Sichuan, these people can leave."
Zhang Rou's body began to tremble slightly, he thought that he had heard it wrong, or that everything just now was a dream.
"I heard that General Zhang's youngest son, Zhang Hongfan, is also a general, who has followed General Zhang several times to be born and died, once the news of General Zhang's return to the Great Song Dynasty is spread, not to mention whether other family members will encounter calculations, just Zhang Hongfan, life will definitely not be easy, his father returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and his son still wants to gain a foothold in the Mongolian court, which is unrealistic."
"Where General Zhang's family is, we already know something, the sergeants sent have set off to answer, as for the family members who are still in Kaiping City, General Zhang needs to write a letter, send the guards around him to personally deliver the letter, let them come to Sichuan, I don't know about General Zhang's family, how to get them out of danger, peace of mind to come to Sichuan, I'm afraid General Zhang has to consider."
。。。
This time, Zhang Rou listened very clearly.
There is no warm welcome, no nonsense, and no so many cumbersome procedures, but Wu Shaogang's words go to the most critical place.
Zhang Rou, who had been silent for a while, lowered her head and let out a long sigh.
I saw Zhang Rou brushing his robe that was no longer very shiny, kneeling on one knee, and giving Wu Shao a standard military salute.
"Subordinate Zhang Rou, meet your lord, from today onwards, everything will be subject to your arrangement."
Wu Shaogang was not polite, accepted Zhang Rou's salute, and then stepped forward and helped Zhang Rou up.
"General Zhang, and relax your heart, don't think too much, you and Mr. Hao are acquainted, these two days, talk more with Mr. Hao, tomorrow we will return to Chengdu Fucheng, General Zhang followed all the way, as for the brothers under General Zhang, it still takes a few days to reorganize, all those who are willing to enter the Hezhou Imperial Army, as long as the age is appropriate, the health is acceptable, there is no problem, those who are not willing to continue to stay in the army, can also be properly settled."
"General Zhang used to be in the Central Plains, raised his arms and shouted, pulled up a team to fight against the bullying of the Mongolian Tatars, decades have passed, whether it was once the general of the Jin State, or as the marshal of the Mongolian court, they are forced by the situation, they have done their best, life is a lifetime, who does not want to live a peaceful and peaceful life, but unfortunately born in troubled times, want to be stable can not get."
"Good birds choose trees to perch, General Zhang's past, no one is qualified to evaluate, you don't have to linger, the people around me, Mr. Hao is my right-hand man, I can't leave for a moment, there will be arguments between us, but there is one point, respect is necessary."
"Kublai Khan's side, capable people are multiplied, inexhaustible, this has proved Kublai Khan's ability and ability, I really admire, if Kublai Khan can fully respect others and treat them equally, I am afraid that General Zhang will not make such a choice."
"No one is perfect, and so am I, maybe in some things, I don't do as well as Kublai Khan, but one thing, as long as it's the people around me, no matter who it is, no matter how high or low the status is, I respect it, and the so-called soldier dies for his confidant."
"That's all at that, General Zhang must have a tangle in his heart, I don't dare to guarantee that you will completely resolve it, as long as I can untie some small knots for you, I will be satisfied."
。。。
As a person who has come over, Zhang Rou can fully understand these words.
The knots were indeed unraveled, Zhang Rou's mood became calm, I don't know why, at this moment he suddenly thought of Liu Bingzhong, thought of Zhang Wenqian and others, if these people were by Wu Shaogang's side, I don't know what the performance would be.
But Zhang Rou can't speak, he has experienced the changes of the world, and he is no longer a hairy young man.
Like Hao Jing and others, a huge doubt also appeared in Zhang Rou's heart, Wu Shaogang in front of him, young and a little excessive, but the words he said were full of philosophy, no grandiose words, not too many promises, but every word can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and convincing.
What kind of young man is this, and what kind of future will he have in the future.
Zhang Rou couldn't help but compare Wu Shaogang with Kublai Khan, although he had just met Wu Shaogang, he could never say that he was familiar, but when he was with Wu Shaogang, you had an indescribable comfortable feeling.
After Zhang Rou left, Wu Shaogang's expression became serious.
Hao Jing on the side spoke.
"My lord, my subordinates have concluded that Zhang Rou must have returned to her heart."
Wu Shaogang shook his head slightly, he did not deny Hao Jing's meaning.
"Mr. Hao, I think a lot these days, there are still too few people around me, look at Kublai Khan's side, how many capable people with lofty ideals, and the talents around me who can take charge of their own affairs, it is still not enough."
"Did the adults think of Zhang Wenqian, Liu Bingzhong, Yao Shu and others?"
"Mr. Hao, who knows me, yes, I think of these people, they are all people with extraordinary abilities, the Mongolian court has advanced by leaps and bounds over the years, and continues to grow and develop, and their efforts are inseparable, if Kublai Khan can trust and reuse them, I am afraid that we will not have many opportunities, but from the attitude shown by Zhang Rou, I am afraid that this is not the case, the information from it, you have also seen it, the proposal of the Mongolian court to move the capital was put forward by Liu Bingzhong, and what people can understand is, Kublai Khan moved the capital to such a large formation, Liu Bingzhong was not qualified to follow, which reflects a very interesting situation, such a situation is worth pondering. ”
"What my lord said is that not only Liu Bingzhong was not able to follow, but even Zhang Wenqian was not able to accompany him at the first time, and Ahmad and other people of color all followed Kublai Khan to relocate."
"Yes, I think that the person who went to Kaiping City with Zhang Rou's letter this time needs to carefully consider the candidates, if possible, it is better to be able to contact Liu Bingzhong and others, Zhang Rou's surrender this time, once the news reaches the Mongolian court, I am afraid that Liu Bingzhong and others will have a more difficult time."
"What the adults say is that you can persuade them...
Wu Shaogang shook his head again.
"It's not that simple, compared with Kublai Khan, what am I, why did people come to Sichuan, such a thing, you can't be in a hurry, it's like planting a tree, a seedling just planted, it can't grow into a towering tree in a short time, you need to wait patiently, this time the people we sent, as long as you can plant seeds in the hearts of Liu Bingzhong and others, it's very good."
When he said this, Wu Shaogang was silent, and Hao Jing was also silent. (To be continued.) )
