Although it was the first month of the year, the weather in Xiangyang was still very cold. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, this temperature, for those Mongolians who come from the bitter cold land of the north, is definitely drizzle, and it is trivial. They had long been accustomed to the extreme cold of the north, so lying on the ground was not too much of a problem.

Of course, they lay on the ground and slept soundly, but it was Li Tang who was cheaper. Li Tang doesn't have the habit of sleeping at night, and besides, he is just a soul crossing, so he is in good spirits!

Li Tang is a great good person, he saw people sleeping on the ground all the way, for fear that they would catch a cold, so he kindly received them into his Qiankun bracelet, after all, it is like spring all year round.

In this way, there are nearly 100,000 Mongolian elites in the Qiankun bracelet.

Moreover, the Howling Sky Dog also actively looked for the soldiers sleeping on the ground everywhere, who made its eyesight and hearing better than Li Tang? One man and one dog have been looking for a long time, and there are basically no soldiers sleeping on the ground.

They began to worry about the soldiers sleeping in the tents again. After all, in such a cold weather, it is very cold to sleep in a yurt, and there is no bed in the yurt! I don't have a bed but to sleep on the floor! Generally speaking, the ground is damp, and it is easy to get rheumatism and bone pain when sleeping on the ground for a long time, so the best way is to let them sleep in a different place.

So, the roaring dog opened the way, and Li Tang followed behind, carefully avoiding the patrol soldiers everywhere, sneaking into a yurt with one of them, and taking away the soldiers who were already asleep.

When it was almost dawn, Li Tang found a tent beside him, changed into a soldier's costume, and began to fall asleep.

All morning, Ah Shu, Shi Tianze and the others were in a state of panic. They don't want to believe in ghosts and gods, but what is happening so far is beyond their understanding.

First of all, the treasury caught fire for no reason, and the fire was very strong at the beginning, and it could not be extinguished at all.

I finally put out the fire and entered the treasury, but found that all the materials in the treasury had been burned, and only ashes remained, leaving no trace of even the swords that were the least difficult to burn.

Then, the return cannon disappeared out of thin air for no reason, and dozens of units disappeared in a row, without any clues at the scene, and everyone discussed it to no avail.

What's even more outrageous is that last night, a large number of soldiers disappeared! It stands to reason that it is normal for a non-commissioned officer to have the will to escape, but the key is that in this well-defended military camp, how easy is it to escape?

What's more, if it is so easy to escape from the barracks without alerting the patrol guards, then it will be easy for the enemy to enter the barracks, so it seems too terrible!

To be honest, no matter how powerful the enemy is, Ah Shu and Shi Tianze have never been afraid!

However, this unknown enemy is really the most terrifying! Because, the means used by the enemy are indeed traceless, confusing, and defenseless!

What is more fatal is not that the generals are at a loss, but that fear is spreading in the barracks.

What is the most feared thing of an army? It's just that the soldiers have no morale! An army without morale is a bunch of chickens and dogs. So far, no general has come forward to give these soldiers a reasonable explanation, why so many Tongze are missing, why did the catapult disappear for no reason? When will it be your turn to disappear?

Many soldiers are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of how they can't imagine how to die. Just like many women are not afraid of death, but it is a truth that they are afraid of death and are ugly.

Actually, it's not that the generals don't want to explain, it's not that they don't understand the serious consequences of the spread of fear. If, at this time, the Fancheng army went out of the city to attack, how much resistance could the soldiers have?

It's a pity that they are all confused now, and they are discussing the current predicament in the central tent!

"Prime Minister Shi, you are from Middle-earth, do you have eyebrows about the series of strange things that are happening so far?"

An old handsome man on the handsome seat asked for advice from a man who looked like a civil official on his right. The one who asked was the great commander Ashu who attacked Xiangyang this time, and the one who took the position was Shi Tianze, the left prime minister of Mongolia.

It turned out that Kublai Khan saw that Ashu had besieged Xiangyang for a long time without any results, so he sent Shi Tianze, the prime minister of Zuo, to supervise the army.

This Ashuben is also a generation of Mongolian generals, who has joined the army with his father since he was a child, has experienced a hundred battles, and has served as a scout and pioneer many times, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats. At this time, being able to become a handsome man in his own right is definitely honed from the grassroots level with a knife and a gun.

As for the delay in opening up the situation in Mongolia, it is because this Xiangyang is a battleground for soldiers. The city of Xiangyang can be said to be impregnable, and it is impossible to swallow it in one bite.

Even so, Ah Shu still adopted a series of strategies to encroach on Xiangyang's living space little by little, making Xiangyang's defeat a matter of time.

And Shi Tianze is the prime minister of Mongolia, and he is not an ordinary person. He was of Han nationality, but when he was eleven years old, he returned to Mongolia with his father, and strictly speaking, he should not be considered a member of the Great Song Dynasty.

Shi Tianze was a marshal at the age of twenty-five, and this person is good at riding and shooting, has great bravery, and is quite strategic, has a strong view of the overall situation, and has made outstanding achievements.

In history, he has been in and out of the general for nearly 50 years, resourceful and decisive, measuring the enemy's troops, advocating attacking the heart first, and refraining from killing and plundering. And this person is quite accomplished in literature and is good at making loose songs.

"The old man has followed Taizu with his father since he was a child, and he has never heard of this thaumaturgy in the Central Plains." Shi Tianze was also confused, so he could only reply.

"General Liu has been in the Central Plains for a long time, have you ever heard that Song Tingke has this demon art?" Ah Shu asked Liu Cheng again.

This Liu Cheng is not an ordinary person, before this person surrendered to Mongolia, he was already a famous general of the Song Dynasty, and he once attacked Xinyang of the Jin State with 12 horses.

He was originally loyal to the Great Song Dynasty and was quite loyal. However, he was persecuted by the traitor Jia Nidao, and there was no way to complain, and he saw his old boss, Wang Jian, who had made great achievements in the world, was dismissed and died of depression, and the general, who was more famous than him, was persecuted to death, disheartened, and had to surrender to the enemy.

When it came to the enemy, Liu Quan was trusted by Kublai Khan and entrusted with important tasks, not at all like in the Great Song Dynasty, when he was restrained everywhere.

After the surrender, Liu Cheng was like a fish in water, so that his talents could be fully developed, but the object of this play was his original compatriots, his original masters, and his original villagers.

However, to put it in detail, it is the Great Song Dynasty that loses Liu Cheng first, and Liu Cheng bears the Great Song Dynasty last. The things of eating the king and being loyal to the king are each their master, and it is understandable.

The author comes from later generations, naturally there is no such set of foolish and loyal theories, a country does not cherish its own people, where can it still ask its people to love their country unconditionally?

This kind of asymmetrical love can only disappoint one's own people, and eventually abandon this loveless motherland and emigrate to other countries.

Precisely, it was this "traitor" who made the Great Song Dynasty deeply hated that he offered Kublai Khan the strategic policy of "attacking Xiangyang first and withdrawing it to defend it", "if there is no Xiangyang, there will be no Huai, and if there is no Huai, Jiangnan will be at your fingertips", and "the strategy of attacking the Song Dynasty should be engaged in Xiangyang first".

It can be said that it was not Prime Minister Boyan who destroyed the Great Song Dynasty, but Liu Quan, the abandoned general of the Song Dynasty, of course, it can also be said that it was the Great Song Dynasty itself that destroyed the Great Song Dynasty. After all, it was the Great Song Dynasty that forced such a strategic master to the Yuan court.

"The last general heard that there was a strange person in the Central Plains in the Han Dynasty, who got the strange book "Taiping Technique", and after completing the study, he could call the wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers. Or there is the immortal Zuo Ci, who got the "Dunjia Heavenly Book", which seems to be able to do this. However, this is a legend, and no one knows whether there is this book in reality! ”

Liu Cheng couldn't say why.

"General Guo Kan has traveled all over the world, have you ever heard of this demon art in the Western Regions?"

Guo Kan, whom Ah Shu asked, is now a 10,000-strong household in the army, and his position is not high. However, this Guo Kan is not an ordinary person.

First of all, this person's family background is actually not ordinary, he is a descendant of the famous general Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also a famous astronomer, mathematician, water conservancy expert and instrument manufacturing expert in the Yuan Dynasty, Guo Shoujing's clan.

If you say Guo Kan, everyone may not be familiar with it, then another fictional character, Guo Jing, must be familiar to everyone, but the prototype of this Guo Jing is actually Guo Kan.

Guo Kan has been on expeditions to the West all the year round, and he is the farthest Chinese military leader in China. Moreover, this man won a hundred battles, alone in West Asia, repeatedly broke more than 120 cities of the Islamic army, broke more than 180 cities of the Crusaders, crusaded against many countries, crossed Kashmir, and even fought against the Franks and other places, feared by the people of the land he conquered, and even exclaimed by his opponents, "General Dongtian, God and man".

This man fell to more than 700 cities. Among them, there are Chinese-style cities, Islamic cities, and Western European cities, all of which were conquered in 6-7 years. Moreover, many cities were captured without a single soldier, and this feat is probably rare in the history of the world!

"I heard that there is Islam in the West, also known as Islam. Their true God, Allah, has the power to do so, or to do so. However, I have also defeated Muslim nations and have never seen them cast similar spells. There are also sects in the West called Christianity, and it is said that their bishops have strong spells and can call the wind and rain, but I have never seen it. ”

Guo Kan said it, but it didn't solve the problem.

"Old Wadin, Ismain, can you two have this kind of spell in your hometown?"

These two men, from Mufari in the Western Regions (present-day Mosul, Iraq), were good at making powerful catapults, and had a complete set of scientific theories about the use of catapults to siege cities, and they used mechanics and geometry to calculate the perfect focus point for different cities in order to capture fortified cities.
