Chapter 504 Battle Book

Boyan smiled slightly and explained: "Dashuai, this kind of rumor is indeed true. Back then, when the old emperor of the Southern Dynasty set up Zhao Yu as the crown prince, the family teacher deduced the number of emperors' stars for the Southern Dynasty, and said that this Zhao Yu was mentally retarded, imbecile, and weak, and had the life of the emperor, but not the ability of the emperor. Later, on the night of the old emperor's death, Master Shizun suddenly felt a whim, and once again deduced the celestial phenomena, and found that the originally dim emperor star of the Southern Dynasty suddenly shone brightly, and in an instant formed a celestial situation that reflected the emperor star of our dynasty and the twin stars shone brightly, this strange celestial phenomenon appeared for the first time in the history of my shamanism. Generally speaking, the strength of the emperor's star fortune is the result of long-term accumulation, just like the emperor's star fortune of our dynasty, since Genghis Khan's birth, after years of accumulation, it has gradually brightened, and the weakness of the emperor's star in the Southern Dynasty is also the result of declining year by year. ”

Although Ah Shu didn't understand the way of a warlock, he heard it clearly, and secretly thought to himself, "Could it be that this is the will of heaven? ”

Boyan continued: "According to the results of the two deductions and the actual situation afterward, Zhao Yu before and after his accession to the throne was completely judged to be like two people, and besides, from the analysis of all the news that my dynasty has mastered, Zhao Yu is not the kind of person who is very deep in the city, even if the human heart can be hidden, but the astronomical science will not deceive people." That's why I said this, Zhao Yu's head seemed to have been changed. ”

"It's really hard to explain in a normal way of thinking." Ah Shu shook his head and said, "But it's impossible to change your head." ”

"Well, it's impossible to change brains, but how else to explain it?"

Since 1 July, the artillery battalion has once again attacked every day, and several rounds of bombardment every day have blown the Lumenshan fort that has been repaired into ruins.

In the days since the five phalanxes were broken, the Powder Supervisor sent 2,000 grenades and a large number of muskets and artillery ammunition one after another, thus increasing the ammunition of the Imperial Forest Army and the artillery battalion, which had not fired a single bullet in the last few days.

In the past few days, in addition to the shelling, it has also been quite idle.

However, I was surprised by two events that happened in succession on the night of July 4th.

In the evening, a messenger from the Yuan army came to the camp of Guanzitan, and this messenger was of a very high rank, and the letters he delivered were also of the highest rank. Boyan, the marshal of the Yuan Dynasty's expedition to the south, the commander of the cowardly Xue army, and the closed disciple of Tianya Shenzun Yin Tianya, these three identities are all pivotal in the Yuan Dynasty as they are, and the one who can make Boyan a messenger is the emperor of the current Great Yuan Empire - Kublai Khan.

As soon as I finished dinner, I saw Zhang Shijie hurriedly walking into the big tent of the Chinese army and said: "Your Majesty, Boyan asked to see him outside the camp, saying that he made a special trip to send a letter to the emperor. ”

"What? Boyan came to deliver the letter? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fang Ling asked, "How many people are there?" ”

Zhang Shijie replied respectfully: "Hui Lingfei Niangniang, just Boyan alone, and with bare hands, there is no blade. ”

"Which play is this singing?" I was stunned for a moment and said, "General Zhang, let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

Surrounded by Yuan Jian, Fang Ling, Zhang Quanyi and others, I came to the guardrail of the north gate of the camp.

At this time, the sky was slightly dark, and with the help of the faint light in front of the camp, I saw a man in white standing about ten meters in front of him, and the war horse next to him stood quietly in place. In the face of the thousands of troops and horses in the Guanzitan camp, this person and horse are not afraid, and they look chic and free in the night, just like the heroes who walked alone in the world in later martial arts novels.

"He is worthy of being a famous Mongolian general." I secretly praised myself, and then said, "Boyan, what's the matter?" ”

Boyan clasped his hands into fists and said: "Boyan has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and Boyan took the liberty to come tonight to deliver a letter for my Emperor Dayuan." After speaking, Boyan took out an envelope from his arms and looked directly at me.

I didn't open the gate of the camp to welcome guests, and said, "Quanyi, you go." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhang Quanyi jumped lightly, jumped off the guardrail, and then walked straight to Boyan's side, clasped his hands into fists, and said: "General Boyan, next Zhang Quanyi, please give the letter to him." ”

Boyan frowned slightly and said, "What, General Zhang, don't you let Boyan in?" ”

Zhang Quanyi said coldly: "I am acting under orders." ”

Boyan laughed and said loudly: "General Zhang, you Han people claim to be a state of etiquette, but for a messenger like me, why don't you even let the door in?" Could this be your hospitality? Or are you scared of me? ”

These two sentences were very loud, and they were obviously addressed to me.

Zhang Quanyi was not angry, and asked with a smile: "General Boyan, tell me, if a robber enters your house, what will you do with it?" ”

Without waiting for Boyan to answer, Zhang Quanyi's expression was grim, and then he said: "General Boyan, whether you Mongolians or we Han people, the so-called hospitality is actually the same, friends come, naturally there will be good wine to treat each other, but if it is a jackal coming, of course it will be treated with knives and guns." As the general said, my Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, but it also depends on who it is aimed at. If you still talk about etiquette, isn't it equivalent to seeking skin with the tiger? General Boyan, the land you are standing on now is the territory of our dynasty, which means that you broke in without the consent of your master, isn't this the same as banditry? ”

Boyan was stunned for a moment, feeling speechless, so he handed the letter to Zhang Quanyi: "Then please ask General Zhang to transfer it to the emperor of your country, and Boyan will wait here." ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect Zhang Quanyi's speech to be so clever, this is a good thing to say." I smiled and praised.

When Zhang Quanyi returned, he handed over the letter, and when I opened it, I saw that it was written in Mongolian, and I didn't know a word. However, after decades of war between Song and Mongolia, many Song people could understand Mongolian characters, including Zhang Quanyi next to me.

"Quanyi, you can translate it for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Quan said while looking at it, "This is a letter written by the emperor Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty himself, Kublai Khan said in the letter that he has arrived in Xiangfan this afternoon, and is currently in the camp of Lumen Mountain. Kublai Khan said that today, the Yuan Dynasty has dominated the world according to its west and north, and it is just around the corner. Kublai Khan had a long-term affection for the emperor and regarded the emperor as a respectable opponent, so he wanted to take it for a while, but had no other intentions. At that time, each side will bring 100 people, if the emperor does not ......"

I knew it was a bad word, so I smiled and said, "All one, just read it as you wish." ”

"Yes, the emperor, then Kublai Khan said, if the emperor doesn't have the guts, he doesn't have to go to Qingyanggang to make an appointment."

Fang Ling whispered, "What is Kublai Khan's conspiracy?" ”

Qingyanggang is just a place name, just located between Lumen Mountain and Guanzitan, although it is called Gang, but it is a flat river, and it is impossible to ambush the army at all.

"It's hard to say whether there is a conspiracy, but the open terrain of Qingyanggang is not conducive to ambushes." I thought about it for a while, and said loudly to Boyan outside, "Boyan, tell Kublai Khan that I will arrive on time at noon tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Boyan hugged his fists and said goodbye, "Your Majesty, then Boyan will leave first." ”

"Wait." Yuan Jian suddenly asked, "Boyan, did Lingshi Yin Tianya come here with Kublai Khan?" ”

Boyan didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Yuan, the family teacher also came this time." ”

"Okay, Boyan, tomorrow the old man should also go to Qingyanggang."

"Mr. Yuan, Boyan farewell."

"No."

"Is this a war book?" Back to the back of the big tent, Fang Lingdao.

"Well, sort of." Kublai Khan wants to see me, why don't I want to see him? Although there were many celebrities in the late Southern Song Dynasty and the early Yuan Dynasty, who could compare with Kublai Khan?

Jiang Wanzai said: "Your Majesty, will tomorrow's shelling still be carried out as usual?" ”

"Well, this one remains the same, according to the plan, the shelling is still carried out in the early morning."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Sir, select ninety people from the pro-guard army, and then let Wu Songhan select ten marksmen, each carrying three grenades, and follow me to Qingyanggang tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Honor."

"Brother, I'm going too." Fang Lingdao.

"Go, Ling'er is strong in martial arts, of course you can go, in addition, let Xie Daolin, Wen Zhang, Hu Yande, Meng Tianxiang and other good players in the army also accompany you, so it will be no big problem."

Yuan Jian nodded and said: "This hundred people are enough to compete with three thousand cowardly Xue, even if Yin Tianya, Ah Shu, Boyan and other famous Mongolian generals come out, the ministers can also protect Your Majesty." ”

"Hehe, they are all the elites of my court, not to mention the throwing bombs, so even if Kublai Khan has any tricks, he can only work in vain. General Jiang Cai. ”

"The minister is here."

"With the speed of your army, it will only take two quarters of an hour at most to get from the Guanzitan camp to Qingyanggang, General Jiang, you will lead the army to wait ten miles away from Qingyanggang, ready to respond at any time."

"Yes, the end will be done."

"Jiang Aiqing, you are responsible for commanding the army of the battalion and taking strict precautions, since Kublai Khan has arrived, I estimate that there will be a big battle in the near future."

"Yes, I obey." Jiang Wanzai said, "In the past few days, even the Mongol troops attacking the cities of Xiang and Fan have stopped a lot, and they must be waiting for Kublai Khan to make a major decision. ”

"Yes, I also think so, Kublai Khan will make a desperate attempt to attack my camp at Guanzitan." If I were Kublai Khan, I wouldn't be able to imagine how to crack the power of firearms with cold weapons, so I could only take advantage of the fact that firearms were not yet popular, and strike first to defeat the opponent, so that there would be a glimmer of hope.

During the discussion, Gongsun Xiaochen entered and said, "Your Majesty, Yingzhou is urgent." ”

I was shocked and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Gongsun Xiaochen hurriedly said: "On the 28th of last month, the gunpowder prison outside Lin'an City was attacked by thousands of unknown black-clothed people. ”
