Zhang Rou was like a wood plastic, motionless, and there was no color on her face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Two thousand former troops, completely wiped out by the Hezhou Imperial Army, clean and neat, Deputy Marshal Zhang Tingrui was not able to escape, was captured by the Song Army, and has been made a prisoner, Zhang Rou was able to learn the news, it was actually reported by the sergeant released back by the Hezhou Imperial Army.

Because of Zhang Rou's procrastination, the distance between the front army and the Chinese army was more than 100 miles, I thought that it didn't matter in broad daylight, so many days were like this, and it had passed, and when the time came, I told the former army commander Zhang Tingrui to pay a little attention, just stop marching and set up camp, who knew that the Song army moved so quickly.

When the officers around him heard the sergeant's report, the first thing they said was that the Chinese army quickly withdrew in the direction of Baoji.

Zhang Rou turned her head to look at the officer beside her, her face was pale, as if she didn't know her.

It's too light to say.

Zhang Rou, who has experienced a hundred battles, has already understood that the most terrible situation is coming.

can cleanly exterminate 2,000 former army sergeants, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Song army is by no means ordinary, and the dispatch must be tens of thousands of troops, the Song army completely wiped out the former army, how can Ming Jin withdraw the troops, the purpose of the people is him as the commander.

It is not known why the Song army did not attack immediately, but since these sergeants were sent by the Song army to report the news, it means that the Song army has already deployed everything, and even surrounded the Chinese army, and sent the sergeants to inform him, I am afraid that he wanted to make him succumb.

If you don't accept softness, it's a dead end, and the whole army will be completely annihilated.

Is Kublai Khan really worth his Zhang Rou's desperate efforts?

Zhang Rou didn't issue any orders for a long time, and fell into a state of contemplation.

The Chinese army has been temporarily encamped, and not many people have learned the news of the complete defeat of the former army, and the sergeants who came to report the news have directly entered the tent of the Chinese army, and the news has not spread, so the Chinese army as a whole is quite stable.

Few people know that the Chinese army is already in great danger.

It was getting dark, Zhang Rou had been in the Chinese military tent all the time, and she didn't go out at all, and the sergeant who came back to report the news had been closely guarded by the guards, and was in the tent next to the Chinese military tent, not allowed to move around, and was not allowed to leak any news.

There was no trace of the scouts sent out earlier, and Zhang Rou knew that these scouts would never return.

A guard hurriedly walked into the tent with a letter in his hand.

The guards bowed and spoke in words that only Zhang Rou could hear.

Listening to the words of the guard, Zhang Rou's face turned pale again, and he habitually looked around.

In fact, there was no one else in the Chinese military tent, and the guards had been waiting closely outside for a long time.

Around the camp, except for the sergeants who were patrolling outside, the rest of the sergeants were in tents, and no one wanted to sell frozen meat outside.

After the guard finished speaking, Zhang Rou quickly took the letter, tore it open and looked at it carefully.

The guards silently withdrew, on tight guard outside.

The letter was written by Hao Jing, which was to persuade Zhang Rou to surrender.

From the content of the letter, Zhang Rou finally knew clearly that the 8,000 sergeants of the Chinese army under his command had been closely surrounded by the imperial armies of Hezhou, and there was no way to enter the heavens and the earth, and there was no way out.

Hao Jing clearly told Zhang Rou that choosing to surrender was the best way.

After reading the letter three times, Zhang Rou fell into silence again.

The captain of the guards entered the tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Rou stared at the captain of the guards, and suddenly spoke.

"If we surrender to the Song army, do you think many brothers will rebel?"

The captain of the guard was stunned, he was Zhang Rou's absolute confidant, but he had never paid attention to such things, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, in fact, Zhang Rou did many things, the captain of the guard was very clear, and he also knew that Zhang Rou was looking for a way back.

"Dashuai, subordinates, subordinates don't know what to say."

Zhang Rou sighed, it was indeed inappropriate to ask the captain of the guard to think about such a big thing.

"I shouldn't have asked you, but the former army has been completely wiped out, and if the Chinese army resists desperately, the fate of the former army is the same, and there will be no other way out."

Zhang Rou does have concerns, he is already very old, since the failure of the attempt to make the Chengdu Fulu Army and Horse Strategy, many things are slowly downplayed, but he is more and more concerned about the safety of his family, his son Zhang Hongfan is his pride, but at this moment Zhang Hongfan is still in Kaiping City, if he chooses to surrender, I don't know what the outcome of Zhang Hongfan will be.

There are also a lot of family members in Kaiping City, only a few can hide, if all the family members have left Kaiping City, I am afraid that the army sent by Kublai Khan would have been killed.

"Go ahead, no one is allowed to enter the Chinese military tent tonight, no one is allowed to disturb it, no matter how urgent the matter, report it after dawn tomorrow, you go and inform many thousands of households, the affairs of the former army are never allowed to leak out, and whoever says it will kill whoever it says."

There is no news from the front army, in fact, it has caused unease in the Chinese army, and such a situation has never occurred.

In the past, every time they set up camp, the former army would send sergeants to report it, although the front army and the Chinese army would not camp in the same place, but there were always scouts or heralds to report to Pegasus, but today there is no such situation.

After entering Fengzhou, many soldiers became cautious, and this was already a place controlled by the Song army.

Some of the sergeants led by Zhang Rou this time had participated in the battle to aid Sichuan, and had learned the courage of the Song army, so they were more cautious and warned the sergeants around them not to take it lightly.

Some talk has already appeared in the military.

The marshal did not show up in the military tent in China, and the rest of the thousands of households were also in the tent, and there was no trace of them, and those who could occasionally be seen walking around were some hundred households.

This is not normal.

After dark, the sergeants were supposed to rest and sleep, but in many tents, oil lamps or torches had not yet been extinguished.

The captain of the guard had already discovered this scene.

After thinking about it carefully, the captain of the personal guard entered the Chinese military tent.

After seeing Zhang Rou, the captain of the guard was stunned, thinking that he was dazzled or had seen it wrong.

But an hour passed, and Zhang Rou's face became unusually haggard.

The captain of the guard has been with Zhang Rou for many years, and he has never seen Zhang Rou with such an image.

Zhang Rou's face was not angry, seeing that the captain of the guards did not speak, he knew that the captain of the guards must have an important situation to report when he entered the Chinese military tent at this moment.

"Marshal, subordinates, subordinates feel that there is something abnormal in the camp, many sergeants have not rested, more than an hour ago, the sergeants have a lot of private discussions, most of them are speculating about the affairs of the former army...

Zhang Rou slowly stood up and looked at the captain of the guard.

"I've already thought of it, there are too many abnormal situations today, paper can't contain fire, and many sergeants will know about it sooner or later, okay, you go and invite more than 1,000 officers to come to the Chinese military tent, I have something to say."

Many officers arrived at the Chinese military tent, Zhang Rou's expression had changed, and she looked much calmer.

"Brothers, you have followed me for many years, and there are some things that I can't hide from you."

"The former army was completely annihilated, you all know, what you don't know is that the Chinese army has long been completely surrounded by the Song army, and the Song army that surrounded us has tens of thousands of people, that is, the Hezhou Imperial Front Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and we have no chance."

"There are two roads in front of us, one is to fight hard, the end is just like the front army, but also the whole army is annihilated, many of you, follow me to fight with the Hezhou Imperial Army, know their bravery, Wuliang Hetai 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry led by the head of ten thousand households, was exterminated by the Hezhou Imperial Army, our combat effectiveness is far less than the Mongolian iron cavalry, choose to fight to the death, the outcome is certain."

"The second is to surrender the Song army, this is a letter sent by the Song army messenger, the letter is very clear, we have one day to make a decision, a day later, that is, after noon tomorrow, if we have not made any decision, there is no action, the Song army will launch a general attack."

"You have all followed me for many years, I don't know how many fights I have experienced, I am old, it doesn't matter, but you are different, you are all in the prime of life, just gone, I can't bear it."

"Telling you these is asking you to make a choice, those who are willing to resist desperately, stand on the right, those who are willing to surrender to the Song army, stand on the left, everyone must make a choice."

"I'll give you half an hour to think, and you decide for yourselves."

"Brothers, remember, your decision is mine."

After saying these words, Zhang Rou walked out of the Chinese military tent without looking back.

In the tent ahead, there were sporadic bright lights coming out.

Zhang Rou looked into the distance and let out a long breath.

In the Chinese military tent, there was first silence, then a boiling pot, and a fierce argument soon appeared.

Whether to fight or surrender, a decision must be made within half an hour, these officers are used to fighting on the battlefield, and have never thought about these problems, and suddenly encountered, and they didn't know what to think at all.

The captain of the personal guard had already understood Zhang Rou's thoughts, and seeing that everyone was arguing, he couldn't help but speak.

The captain of the guard spoke, and everyone fell silent.

The words of the captain of the guard were very simple, if the commander was ready to resist desperately, would he still need to consult everyone's opinions, he could have arranged the deployment a long time ago, and even chose to break through in a dim environment at night.

The words of the captain of the guard made everyone completely quiet, and after a little thought, everyone understood the reason, if the marshal had not thought of the matter of surrender, he would not have brought it up at all.

Now that the commander has made up his mind, everyone is basically obedient.

There were also a few people who were unwilling to surrender and insisted on fighting, but their numbers were too small.

Half an hour passed, Zhang Rou entered the tent of the Chinese army, and the choice had come out, and more than eighty percent of the officers chose to surrender to the Song army.

Zhang Rou also made a decision to surrender to the Song army, and as for those officers who were unwilling to surrender, he would personally plead with the Song army officers to let these officers go. (To be continued.) )
