Chapter 361: A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains (Part II)

"All the state capitals south of Xuzhou?!" You Xuanfu's eyebrows were almost twisted, and his face, which had improved a little just now, immediately became gloomy, "All over Xuzhou, it is already the land of Hebei, does Daming even want this?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Shijie and Wen Tianxiang to answer, You Xuanfu already had a questioning tone: "These state capitals in Hebei seem to be very close to the Ming Dynasty, but they are the gateway of Mongolia to Shandong, how can they be easily with people." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info more importantly, the Ming Dynasty does not want Dongchuan and Heluo, to rule by rowing rivers with Mongolia, but wants this Hebei land, I am afraid that what the Ming Dynasty did is not the peace and permanence of the two countries, but for a better attack on Mongolia in the future, so I don't know where the sincerity of what Wen Xianggong just said is? ! ”

Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie were both subconsciously silent.

And Ye Yingwu behind the screen finally couldn't help but beat his leg lightly, this time Wen Tianxiang was still a little in a hurry, this peace talk will naturally not end in a day or two, and now they have just met, although You Xuanfu and the two of them are arguing with each other, and it seems that the quarrel is lively, but in fact, the two sides are still testing each other, and they are in the stage of asking for a price, and as a result, Wen Tianxiang said that he wanted Xuzhou, which is tantamount to exposing the bottom line and intentions to Mongolia, and sure enough, You Xuanfu grabbed this handle.

In this round, Daming lost.

However, people are not sages, who can do nothing, Ye Yingwu understands that Wen Tianxiang has such a stupid move, firstly, because of the lack of experience in peace talks and the underestimation of Mongolia, and secondly, Wen Tianxiang is eager to lay a good foundation for the Northern Expedition, after all, as a thorough main battle faction, Wen Tianxiang cannot watch Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty coexist peacefully, and the land in the north will have to be recovered sooner or later.

Looking up at the huge map, Ye Yingwu sighed softly.

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are long, and how many splendid mountains and rivers are actually just a small microcosm on this map, but they are enough for everyone to quarrel for a day or even a week. An inch of rivers and mountains and an inch of blood, these are all the blood of the ancestors and ancestors who have been dyed red for thousands of years, and naturally they cannot be easily abandoned.

"The Kyushu on this map, after all, will be planted all over my Ming banner, and it must be no less." Ye Yingwu stood up and patted the map lightly, muttering to himself.

On the other side of the screen, Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie glanced at each other and said in a deep voice: "Since Mr. You has already said so, then I naturally can't make friends suspicious." In this way, Huaibei Lianhai and Wuhekou were originally the land of the Ming Dynasty, and they are still the same, but they also asked Mongolia to return General Li Tingzhi and the bones of the Huai soldiers who died in battle. ”

I vaguely felt that it was not a good thing for Daming to ask for the bones of Li Tingzhi and Huai Jun, but now what You Xuanfu could do was to hold even an inch of land for Mongolia, so he nodded and agreed without the slightest hesitation, but immediately remembered something, You Xuanfu said a little nervously: "But Mongolia is responsible for everything, and your country can send officials to conduct autopsies, but it is absolutely an excuse to send troops north, and please make the two ministers clear." ”

Zhang Shijie smiled a little disdainfully, undeniable.

And Wen Tianxiang waved his hand, and on a large piece of paper spread out on the table, a middle-aged man wrote this carefully, You Xuanfu glanced at the man, and there was a sense of familiarity in his heart, but in the end he shook his head slightly, even if he knew it, it was useless.

This middle-aged man who is struggling to write is Liang Yanwu, the current first staff member under Ye Yingwu, but You Xuanfu naturally can't recognize the person who was the last person and has several faces.

The first article has been negotiated, Wen Tianxiang exhaled lightly, and then said lightly: "As I said just now, there are also the families of the culprits who have broken through Lin'an, such as Zhang Hongfan and Timur Buhua, I don't know what Mr. You thinks?" ”

The palms of his hands were sweating slightly, and You Xuanfu looked at Wen Tianxiang: "I don't know what role a certain You Xuanfu thinks is in this battle of Lin'an." ”

Wen Tianxiang knocked on the table expressionlessly: "In the list listed by His Royal Highness King Ming, there is no name of Mr. You, obviously His Royal Highness King Ming does not think that Mr. You did anything in the battle of Lin'an. ”

After being silent for a moment, You Xuanfu sneered: "The people on this list are far from enough, I don't know what His Royal Highness King Ming means, is it possible that he still wants to drive a wedge between Mongolian courtiers?" ”

Shrugged his shoulders after learning Ye Yingwu's usual movements, Zhang Shijie was still sitting upright in his chair, his voice was cold with a hint of murderous intent: "Mr. You can understand it however you want, what I want now is whether Mr. You agrees with this matter, and asks Mr. You to give a positive or negative answer." ”

You Xuanfu shivered slightly, this southern barbarian is really sinister, and the family members of the officials who have not been mentioned by name will definitely support it, and those who mention the name will inevitably oppose it, and the two sides are bound to be difficult to reconcile, not to mention that he You Xuanfu was originally an immortal person in Lin'an, and he may be offended on both sides of the middle, even the Great Khan himself, I am afraid it will be tricky.

Not to mention that the Mongolian generals are already related to each other, intertwined relationships and a huge number of relatives, even Han generals like Zhang Hongfan, because of their many years of operation in the court, there are already many cronies and dead friends, although Zhang Hongfan is dead, but the people of the Zhang family are still there, the entire party is still there, in order to protect their own interests, they will definitely fight with their opponents.

This is clearly forcing the Mongolian court, which now seems to be very united, to split, and the partisan struggle has always caused each other to die.

"This matter is very important, and I still need to think about it a lot, and I hope the two of you will forgive me." You Xuanfu replied cautiously, this decision was not made by him in such a short period of time.

A smile flashed across the corner of Wen Tianxiang's mouth, and he pointed out the door: "It's getting late today, Mr. You came from afar, naturally he should rest more, this official has arranged a courtyard for Mr. to rest, there will be someone to lead the way for Mr., and I hope that Mr. Tomorrow can give me and the other two a reasonable answer." ”

This Southern Barbarian is really ill-intentioned!

You Xuanfu scolded secretly, although the sun had gone down outside, but the two sides only talked about the most irrelevant one today, which actually means that there is not much progress, for You Xuanfu, who needs to give Kublai Khan an answer, although this does help him delay time, but it is not a good thing, because it shows that the Southern Barbarians want to delay time more than themselves!

The southern barbarian procrastinates time, and naturally has the small actions he wants to do. However, Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie had already turned behind the screen in a blink of an eye, and there was no trace, even if You Xuanfu wanted to say more, he could only hold it in his stomach.

"Mr. You, please." Wu Chucai, who had been standing at the door silently, said coldly and made a gesture of please, but the other hand was meticulously pressed on the hilt of the sword, and he didn't know if he was used to it or threatening You Xuanfu.

With a hateful stamping of his feet, You Xuanfu could only flick his sleeves and leave quickly.

After You Xuanfu left, on the other side of the screen, Ye Yingwu said in a cold voice: "Jiang Tie, I handed over the Hundred Battles Capital, the Jinyi Guard in the city, and the six gates to you, be sure to find out who is coming with You Xuanfu this time." ”

Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie were stunned, and then Zhang Shijie held down the sword and asked in a deep voice: "Yuanlie, do you suspect that this You Xuanfu ・・・・・・?"

"When will a person come to the peace talks?" Ye Yingwu paced in front of the map, "Unless Kublai Khan really trusts and reassures You Xuanfu." But for such a person who has been in Jiangnan for many years, can Kublai Khan be able to put his heart in his heart? So there must be something greasy in this. And although You Xuanfu was reluctant to leave just now, he didn't want to rush in and ask for a meeting, which means that he was also hesitating and pondering in his heart, and wanted to find someone to discuss, and then come back and talk to us. ”

Nodding, Wen Tianxiang smiled and said, "Seeing this Mr. You speechless from time to time today, I feel that something is wrong, and it is estimated that there are still people behind him who are presiding." ”

Looking up at the roof, Ye Yingwu couldn't help but murmur softly: "Who will be the person behind this, the Mongolian Tatars take this peace talk very seriously, and the person who came cannot be a simple person." This peace talk is now becoming more and more interesting. ”

Thinking of something, Ye Yingwu then asked: "By the way, brother-in-law, have there been any changes in the Mongolian Tartars everywhere in the past few days?" ”

"This is not true, the cowardly Xue Jun and Boyan's Southern Expeditionary Army have been very honest recently, they are constantly strengthening their defenses, and they are obviously afraid that we will take the lead." Zhang Shijie replied without hesitation.

"This shows that it is not the idle people who are really coming." Ye Yingwu stood with his hands in his hands, his cynical look had dissipated, and in the eyes of this Ming king, there seemed to be a flame burning, wanting to burn all the evils in the world, "Then let's see!" ”

-――――――――――――――――

There was a glow on the top of the city, followed by a roaring explosion, and a splash of rubble and smoke obscured the sky. I don't know how many Mongol soldiers were shouting at the top of the city, but their shouts soon stopped abruptly with a continuous stream of explosions.

"Kill!" Li Fu shouted loudly, the sword in his hand had been drawn out and pointed into the distance.

Rows and rows of Xuanwu Army and Yongzhou Army officers and soldiers raised their swords and guns high at the same time and rushed forward. In the dull roar, the first line of Longshou Pass was already in blood and fire. Red flags leap out on the horizon, and in an instant they become rolling waves, as if all obstacles in front of them will be photographed in the tide.

"Shield!" Yang Ting roared, and rolled on the ground suddenly, several arrows had already grazed beside Yang Ting, if it weren't for Yang Ting's quick eyes, I am afraid that he would have become the soul of this dragon head. The shield-bearer stepped forward to fend off the arrows for the charging robe, while the crossbowmen behind had already spotted their target and knelt down on one knee with their crossbows raised.

The sound of explosions rose and fell in front one after another, and the Ming army was like a bamboo, covering all the way from the east of Erhai Lake, even if the advance speed was fast, the Mongolian defenders also understood what they were coming for, so they hurried to strengthen their defenses at this Longshou Pass, and withdrew most of the people on the city wall first, so that the bombardment of the flying thunder cannon did not play a big role.

Now that all the Mongolian crossbowmen have gone to the city, they pose a great threat to the soldiers who rushed forward to the peak. What's more, in the Mongolian camp on the other side of Cangshan Yunlong Peak, there are constantly trebuchets and bed crossbows roaring, so that the Ming army has to storm the slender road along the Erhai Lake.

"Marquis Yu, there is a pit in front of you, you can't rush through!" A head came quickly, his face was covered with blood, and he didn't know if it was his or other robes, but it was difficult to hide his anxious expression, obviously in this pit, many soldiers had already died in battle.

Yang Ting frowned, this Mongolian Tartar was really on guard, but now that the Dragon Head Pass was close at hand, Yang Ting had no other choice. The soldiers of the Xuanwu Army and the Yongzhou Army traveled a long distance from Shanxian Mansion all the way to this Dali, they were originally extremely tired, everyone was just a breath from the east of Erhai Lake all the way to cover up, now if you can't break through the Longshou Pass in one go, it is an immeasurable loss to morale, and then I am afraid that if you want to conquer the Xiongguan that guards the north gate of Dali, it will be even more difficult.

Looking up at Xiongguan in front of him, Yang Ting slowly clenched the spear in his hand. This is built on the red earth of the dragon's head pass, empty mountains and choke the sea, it is really a rare danger in the world. Although the city wall is rammed with red clay, because it is wide enough, even if the flying thunder cannon is smashed on it, it will leave a pothole at most, and it has not yet reached the point of collapsing the city wall.

The arrows whistled past behind him, and Yang Ting gritted his teeth: "Come on, go back quickly and tell the two generals that the key point of this Longshou Pass is not here, but on that Langyun Peak, the camp of Langyun Peak has been uprooted, and there is nothing to think of as a barrier in Longshou Pass!" ”

Filled with smoke and dust, he couldn't wait for the news to come from behind, Yang Ting looked up at Longshou Pass, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's drive all the way from Yongzhou, invincible, we can't be blocked by this little Longshou Pass today, for the sake of Daming, follow a certain rush!" ”

"Da Ming!" One after another, Du Tou and Yu Hou raised their blades in their hands.

"Da Ming, Da Ming!" The soldiers who had fallen to the ground struggled to help each other get up, even if they were dizzy, they had to take steps forward.

On the curved and narrow road in front of the Longshou Pass, the smoke and dust that had been raised by the stone projectiles thrown by the trebuchet gradually dissipated and subsided, and the Mongolian soldiers who struggled to get up in the air waves of the flying thunder cannon looked at the city in amazement. As soon as the smoke and dust came out, one figure after another appeared, and continued to approach the dragon's head pass, as if the dense rain of arrows and stone bullets just now could not stop their pace. The red flags also broke through the smoke and dust, although they were already tattered, but they were still proudly fluttering in the wind.

Again, the explosion sounded, but not at the dragon's head. The Mongolian soldiers subconsciously looked up, the camp of Langyun Peak, which was condescending to attack the Ming army just now, had been shrouded in flames, and the verdant mountains were full of silver swords and guns, and I didn't know how many Ming troops were desperately attacking the camp on the mountain, but their blood and banners soon dyed the entire Langyun Peak red.

The mountains are red all over, and the forests are dyed.

The entire Langyun Peak has been shrouded in artillery fire, Yang Ting breathed a sigh of relief, the crossbowmen around him are trying their best to suppress the city, and countless good sons and daughters jumped over the pit that once made Pao Ze break his halberd, and some even stepped directly on Pao Ze's corpse, everyone held their heads high and looked at the Dragon Head Pass that was getting closer and closer.

This is the gateway of Dali, but also the symbol of Dali, is the strongest place in the whole Dali, once the breakthrough of the dragon head pass, in order to win, no one hesitates at this moment.

Because they are good sons of the Ming Dynasty, because their king has outlined a bright future and a prosperous road for them, and the premise of all this is to kill these damned Mongol Tartars! Let them be reduced to powder in the roar of the Eastern Dragon!

"Dynamite pack!" Yang Ting jumped straight into the trench outside the city, stretched out his hand and pointed ahead.

One of the capitalists gritted his teeth and picked up the explosives bag and rushed forward, but the Mongol soldiers at the head of the city clearly understood what he was trying to do, and arrows whistled down, nailing the capitalist to the ground. Yang Ting's eyes were red, and just as he wanted to step forward in person, the originally closed city gate slowly opened, and the neighing of war horses echoed.

The Ming soldiers in the trench glanced at each other in surprise, and their hearts were subconsciously groaning, originally they thought that the Mongolian Tatars had Xiongguan as a basis and would not use cavalry, but now they finally understood that the Mongolian Tatars just wanted to save this killer weapon to the end, so as to kill all the southern barbarians who approached outside the city gate.
