In the evening, Hao Ren Wanhu saw the Song army retreating. The other party's array was neatly aligned, and the steel armor reflected red light in the setting sun, which matched the red military flag of the Song army.

Looking at those steel armors, Wan Hu sighed in his heart. He knew how strong such armor was, and Mongolia itself was not capable of producing it. The Mongol army did not pursue, and the night had an impact not only on the Song army, but also on the Mongol army. Unless the Song army would be stupid enough to march with torches, the Mongol army that discredited the marching army would also be greatly restricted. Moreover, the equipment of the Song army was obviously much better than that of the Mongol army, and the Mongol army was even more at a disadvantage during the night battle.

It didn't take long for a cavalry to bring a few people over. When those people saw Hao Ren Wanhu, they immediately knelt down and saluted, and said, "The villain has asked the master for peace!" ”

"Are you going to follow us?" Hao Ren asked condescendingly.

"Sir. The owner of our family just wants to ask the master for help. The envoy of Zhujiazhuang replied.

Hao Ren Wanhu replied bluntly: "You go back and tell your owner that we are here this time to take all the heroes from all walks of life who are unwilling to surrender to the Nanban to go north together." We don't miss staying in Hebei. ”

After hearing this, the envoy of Zhujiazhuang hurried back to the village. Hao Ren Wanhu, the envoy of most of the capitals, ordered the troops to set up camp and prepare to leave tomorrow. The night in Hebei is clear, but compared to the 'Mongolian Plateau' as defined by the Great Song Dynasty, it seems to be farther away from the stars. Hao Ren Wanhu recalled his campaign in the past two years, and only felt that the stars in the sky over the Mongolian Plateau were brighter.

Rushing back to Hebei from the Western Regions, Hao Ren Wanhu finally understood what it meant to 'rise and fall'. For decades, Mongolia was invincible, as if the world was going to be subjugated by Mongolia. Then suddenly, the Song Kingdom rose, and Mongolia was defeated.

Originally, Hao Ren felt that after such a long time of tempering, the soldiers under his command had both the strength of Mongolian cavalry and the advantages of firearms, which could be called brave and good at fighting. After seeing the artillery of the Song army during the day today, such a little confidence was instantly shattered.

However, Hao Ren Wanhu did not despair, his purpose this time was not to recapture the capital, but to bring those forces in Hebei that were unwilling to be exterminated by the Song State to the west at this time. Originally, he just wanted to bring these people to Mongolia in the north. I didn't expect to see some new Da Song newspapers after I came back. Some of the newspapers have the latest maps of the Great Song Dynasty. With the historical news of the Mongol expedition to the west, Hao Ren felt that he could take these Han Chinese to the land further west, farther west than the Golden Horde and the White Horde.

On the map of the Great Song Dynasty, there are now forces of the 'United Kingdom of Lithuania and Poland' and the 'Teutonic Knights'. Although he didn't know what was going on with these two forces, Hao Ren Wanhu was fully confident that he would defeat the Semu people country and forces over there. Since the Mongols were able to defeat those Semu countries last time, Hao Ren Wanhu's men should not lose to them now.

Before you know it, Wanhu is asleep. I slept until dawn and was having breakfast, when Zhujiazhuang sent someone again. The person who came this time knelt down and said, "The villain has saluted the master!" ”

"What does Master Zhu think?" Hao Ren Wanhu asked.

"Sir. The owner of my family talks about the homeland. I don't want to leave my homeland. ”

"Got it." Hao Ren Wanhu replied.

"Sir, let's send some captives. They are all Red Turban thieves who have been captured by us. The messenger said.

"Good. We took it. Go down. ”

The messenger was forcibly sent away. Hao Ren Wanhu ordered to set off immediately. The general was very puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "Wanhu, the Zhu family is definitely not the opponent of the Song army." I just had to watch from the sidelines, and they wanted to follow us. ”

"That would put us under the attack of the Song army. I'm just going to lead the people who are willing to leave, isn't there a saying that a twisted melon is not sweet? ”

"Melon?" The general was puzzled.

Only then did Hao Ren Wanhu remember that the most popular watermelon was not Hebei, but the Song Kingdom in the south. This sentence was also learned by Hao Ren Wanhu from the school.

The Mongols began to retreat west with their prisoners. The road along the way is really sparsely populated, that is, Mongolian horses are really resistant to harsh environments, and they can maintain their physical strength only by gnawing grass. Most of the landlords chose to stay, and did not leave with Hao Renwanhu. This was also expected by Hao Ren Wanhu, and the purpose of his coming out this time was just to seek peace of mind. This is also a cultural tradition of the Han people.

The cavalry of the Song army has always followed this large number of Mongolian cavalry, and at this time, in the entire Hebei, there is only such a Mongolian army. And this Mongol army went south from Cangzhou, turned west, went to Xingtai and then marched north. Finally, they reached the vicinity of Baoding, continued westward, and disappeared into the mountain road of Taihang Bajiao.

After learning the news, General Li Yun, who had already moved his headquarters to Youzhou, sighed: "The Mongolian army still has such a famous general. Sure enough, it can't be underestimated. ”

Senior Yang Tiexin nodded in agreement: "The official family said that we must learn to make great strides forward, and we also need to learn to retreat in great strides. This advance and retreat is indeed the mystery of war. ”

After listening to the words of the two, Master Zhu Chongba smiled and said, "Don't deceive me that I haven't read. ”

"Cut!" Admiral Li Yun replied disdainfully. Zhu Chongba, the eighth division commander, is also a scholar on the side of Gaoyou Lake, and he just has nothing to do.

After such a relaxed conversation, everyone's eyes fell on the map. At this time, the Song army occupied the line from Zhigu Village to Dadu, and also occupied the territory of Handan and other southern Hebei. Mongolia occupies the northern edge of the Yanshan Mountains, as well as Shanxi.

The Song army really did not have the strength to pursue it to Shanxi along the Taihang Eight Mountains, for a simple reason. Once the mountain road of Taihang Ba Yan was cut off, the Song army that had entered Shanxi could only go to Shaanxi to seek a breakthrough. This is a nightmare for any army.

"Let's deal with the Hebei landlords first. The news from Zhujiazhuang last time sounded too unusual. Yang Tiexin said.

"The rich people were able to build a labyrinth, I originally thought that thing was something that the Zhao official family could come up with." Li Yun agreed. Although the wording of these words may be regarded as some kind of emotion towards Zhao Jiaren, no one who listens to Li Yun will feel that Li Yun is disrespectful in the slightest.

"The landlords built it to deter the local people." Zhu Chongba, who was born as a landlord, replied. He can understand the mood of this Hebei family very well. If you want the people of the place to be feared, you have to have the means to be feared. Such a manor that could not be breached at all was itself a manifestation of the power of the Zhu family in Hebei.

No matter what Commander Zhu Chong's Eighth Division thought, Company Commander Qin Mohuan of the Red Turban Army didn't think so at all. At this time, he had already attacked Zhujiazhuang for the second time. The manor looked similar to what it had been more than half a month ago, and the wooden door that had been knocked down was now erected again. From a distance, it looks as if nothing has happened.

Look at the gloomy sky and feel that cool breeze in the air. Company Commander Qin Mohuan was anxious, don't let it rain. Once the rainy season in Hebei starts, it will fall for a while. At this time, it has also been ambushed, and there is a folk song that says, "Fuli Tian, the tile is not dry". It's about the time when it often rains.

I was really thinking about what I was afraid of, and at this time, I heard thunder from the distant horizon, and I saw that dark clouds began to appear on the horizon, and quickly spread to this side.

After the summer rains, the ground was muddy. The Red Turbans had to retreat to a place marked as an uninhabited village in order to escape the rain. To Song Jun's surprise, there were several households here. After questioning, I learned that the residents had fled here before, and when they heard that there was no longer fighting, they ran back.

The Red Turbans have taken over most of what once housed. The reason why I say that there was a time is because after the village is gone, the houses are damaged very quickly. The commander of the sixth company couldn't help but talk about the so-called 'popularity'. This Company Commander Lin is a Fujianese, and his voice is simply incomprehensible.

According to careful identification, Qin Mohuan probably listened to Company Commander Lin tell about the case of abandonment in Fujian. Because of the immigration, a large number of deserts began to appear in the mountainous areas of Fujian. Abandonment not only caused animals to wreak havoc, but also many strange things happened. The houses decayed so quickly that even the rice was no longer fruitful. People who once thought of not leaving their hometowns were forced to leave their hometowns, and after losing their popularity, the land became extremely unfriendly.

Qin Mohuan had some agreement in his heart, and the same was true of the house where his troops lived, needless to say, the thatched hut had already been completely damaged. The same is true for rammed earth walls, which look like they are very sturdy, and if you poke them with your hands, a large pit will appear. The soil seems to have lost its adhesive force and easily turns into dust.

The troops are being repaired. It was lively outside, and it didn't take long for new news to come, and I don't know where some people came, looking like villagers. They also claim to be villagers of this village. It is said that he has returned home. None of the soldiers believed in such a thing. How could it be so coincidental that when the Red Turban Army arrived, they also ran back.

Qin Mohuan also went to the camp headquarters to see. When I entered, I saw that the villagers who had been in the village before were talking to the strangers. It sounds like they confirm that the other party is from their own village. Qin Mohuan was surprised in his heart. Then the battalion headquarters asked the newcomers where they were staying. The people here pointed fingers, and the more Qin Mohuan listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. The jujube tree in front of the door and the big locust tree in the backyard sound more and more like the place where Qin Mohuan's company lives. The other commanders of the troops also looked at Qin Mohuan, and everyone could tell that the place seemed to be Qin Mohuan stationed.

After confirmation, Qin Mohuan couldn't help but say under the gaze of the others: "If that's the case, let's let the house out." ”

It's an easy decision to make, but it's not so easy to execute. Otherwise, it's not so easy to make a few more thatched roofs. But Qin Mohuan still ordered the troops to hurry up. There is no special reason, Qin Mohuan just feels that under this war, it is not easy for everyone to live.
