Zhang Mao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said angrily: "Good boy, dare to trick me, take it!" ”

Before Alejandro could react, he noticed that someone had stepped forward and put the knife on Ankru's neck.

Ankru yelled in fright and raised his hands in the air, trying to prove his innocence.

Alejandro hurriedly asked, "General Zhang, why is this?" ”

Zhang Mao's face darkened, and he said: "Before the two armies, pretending to surrender to sincerity, this kind of little trick is all left over from our ancestors, and you still want to deceive me?" ”

Alejandro was a little confused and asked, "General, how do you see it?" ”

At the same time, Ankru explained in his mouth, and reached into his arms, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the Ming army and directly pressed him to the ground.

Alejandro translated: "General, he said he had a token on him. ”

"Take it out and have a look."

"Yes!"

Alejandro searched for Ankru and quickly pulled out a wooden token with a lot of Persian written on it.

"General, please look, this is the officer token of the Aries Country, and the material is a century-old poplar wood, there will be no fake."

"Even if his identity is fine, how can you prove his words?"

Alessandro had no choice but to tell him, and after listening to it, Ankru hurriedly said: "General Emir commands the army of the Aries Kingdom, I have always been the general's adjutant, and now the general is imprisoned, many soldiers are dissatisfied, I still have five thousand people under my command, if I am really hostile, I will not come by myself, I will bring people to surround you, and then go to Baron Alovend to ask for credit, but I didn't do it!" ”

Zhang Mao thought for a moment and asked again, "What do you want us to do?" ”

"Help us and rescue General Emir!"

"Openly confronting the monarch of the dynasty, the emir is not the only one who has committed treason."

"We don't want to fight, we don't want to die, let's be treasonous, after Wuzong Hesai came to power, he never treated us as human beings, he kept letting us go out to fight, and people around me kept dying, but their wives and children couldn't even get pensions, and they would even be sold as slaves, we didn't want to work for Wuzonghesai anymore!"

Zhang Mao pondered for a long time, and then asked, "Who is the biggest officer under General Emir?" ”

"That's me!"

"Aren't you a colonel?"

"Yes, but...... Anyone who is more senior than me has already taken refuge in Baron Allevand. ”

After listening to this, Zhang Mao continued to ask: "So, are you willing to lead people to rebel?" ”

Ankru nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, it's a rebellion, we want to rebel!" ”

Zhang Mao was originally a temptation, and found that there was no flaw in the other party's words, but there was still a trace of suspicion.

"You must know that once you decide to rebel, there is no way out, either you will succeed or you will die!"

Ancro said: "We have no way out for a long time, after Baron Allevande took command of the military, he has begun to carry out a great purge, replacing his henchmen to power, even if our old troops of the emir generals do not rebel, there will be no way to live." ”

Zhang Mao waved his hand, ordered someone to let Ankru go, and then said: "If you want to rescue the Emir General, this little person in your hands is definitely not enough, do you have any plans?" ”

Ankru looked sincere and said, "My plan is to come to you. ”

Zhang Mao was speechless for a moment, Lao Tzu only brought five hundred people, you asked me to attack your main city, what about the trouble?

"It's better to bring your men and horses out, and I will take you to Tehran, whether this battle should be fought or not depends on the emperor."

"No, General Emir may die at any time!"

Zhang Mao secretly said in his heart, if you die, you will die, what does it matter to me?

However, now that people have taken the initiative to surrender, if they see that emir being cut down and don't go to the rescue, I am afraid it will be difficult to win people's hearts.

Fighting in a foreign land, the time and place are not occupied, and the only thing that depends on the people's hearts is the heart.

If the hearts of the people are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team.

Zhang Mao looked around, it was getting late, and he said: "This matter is not trivial, don't be reckless, rest for one night first, and discuss a countermeasure." ”

Ankru hurriedly agreed: "There is our station here, and it is not a problem to arrange food and accommodation for hundreds of people." ”

"If my troops live in your barracks, you, the colonel, will be guilty of treason."

"The king has ordered the whole country to assemble and prepare to attack Tehran, and I will not notice me here for a while."

Zhang Mao was still not at ease, so he said: "There are many people around you, and it is inevitable that there will be leaks, so it is better to find a secret camp nearby and try not to let your people approach." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange for my henchmen to take the general to the camp."

That night, Zhang Mao and the others were taken to a remote school yard where there were ready-made barracks, and Ankru sent 20 sheep and 10 barrels of wine.

Zhang Mao ordered people to set up three cordons around the camp, and the rest of the people feasted, and it was the first time they had eaten hot after walking for so long.

"Report, find out the enemy!"

The scout horse in charge of the perimeter guard hurriedly reported back and found a soldier of unknown origin in front of him.

Zhang Mao suddenly sank his face and said angrily: "I know that the dog thing is a fraud, everyone, urgently combine and prepare to fight!" ”

"General Qiyu, looking at the other party's movements, it doesn't look like he's here to attack our department!"

"What do you mean?"

"The number of the other party is not large, only about 200, and the action is very secretive."

"Since it's a sneak attack, it must be very secretive."

"The route is not right, it seems to be just passing by, but it seems to be heading north."

"Northside?"

Zhang Mao pondered for a moment and said, "If the other party's target is not us, don't startle the snake." ”

"Yes!"

To the east of the camp, a troop of centaurs was hurrying in the night.

"Report, the enemy situation has been discovered ahead!"

Belin suddenly became nervous and asked, "How many people are on the other side?" ”

"I don't know, I only found the other party's probe horse, and the hiding method is very clever."

"How did you find out?"

"I found horse manure, and it was still hot."

"It's just horse manure, no fuss."

"Master Huibei, I have surveyed the area around the horse manure in detail, the terrain is very suitable for hiding, and there are traces of human activity, according to various signs, it should be the other party's secret whistle."

"When did the Aries scouts become so sophisticated?"

"The humble also has some doubts, the Aries army I saw along the way is very poor, it seems that this is the first time I have seen such a clever one."

Belin was very puzzled in his heart, but he believed in Jin Yiwei's judgment, people are specialized in intelligence, and they will not be mistaken.

It seems that he still underestimated the strength of the other party, and this trip to steal the house is in trouble.

"Pass my order, everyone rest in place, pay attention to concealment, and you take someone to investigate again."

"Yes!"

In the darkness of the night, the two teams of scouts were less than twenty paces apart, staring at each other.

Neither side dared to act rashly, because neither side knew the other's intentions.

When Zhang Mao heard the report, he was even more confused, just two hundred people dared to sneak attack Lao Tzu's camp?

"Report!"

Tanma came to report again: "General, I made a mistake, it's my own people!" ”

"What?"

Zhang Mao was even more confused and asked, "You make it clear, what are your own people?" ”

"General Hui, it's Bereinbei's team!"

It turned out that the two groups of scouts got closer and closer in order to find out more detailed information, because both sides had rifles in their hands, and they recognized them from a long distance.

Zhang Mao is even more confused, what is the Academy of Sciences doing?

"What about people?"

"It's already on the way."

Half an hour later, Belin led the team to Zhang Mao's camp.

"I've seen His Royal Highness!"

Zhang Mao laughed and said, "Master Pei, don't come to harm!" ”

"Thanks to Your Highness's trouble, everything goes well!"

Zhang Mao took Bei Lin's hand and said enthusiastically: "Don't Your Highness, listen to the outside, you and I are of the same age, you might as well be called brothers!" ”

Belin was not polite, and bowed: "Brother Zhang! ”

The two talked for a long time, Belin made his intentions clear, and Zhang Mao also explained the recent situation in Constantinople, and the king of Yu was organizing troops and sent himself to take the lead.

"Brother, when I see you, I feel at ease, you scholars have the right idea, tell my brother, what should I do in this situation now?"

Belin would like to explain that we readers call it strategy, not ghost ideas.

But...... Forget it, it doesn't matter.

"Of course I want to save it!"

"However, we don't have enough manpower, so if we go to attack people's base camps like this, even if we can defeat them, the casualties will not be small."

"Brother Zhang, have you forgotten the purpose of our trip?"

"You ...... yes, you're here to sneak attack, how about it, are you sure? ”

"Could it be that the city defenses of the Aries Kingdom are stronger than those of Constantinople?"

"I didn't mean that......"

Zhang Mao waved his hand and said, "I want to ask, whether you have enough ammunition, I remember that when I came out of Constantinople, there was not much left." ”

"You're right, those explosives have run out."

"What for?"

"We blew up Black Sheep's hometown!"

Zhang Mao: ......

Belin continued: "The Black Sheep Country is very arrogant, and keeps sending troops to attack Tehran, and the emperor sent us to blow up their hometown, and by the way, the Black Sheep King was also killed, and the king's younger brother is still acquainted, and he took the initiative to come over and surrender, and now the entire Black Sheep Country has been included in the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhang Mao: ......

"Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Mao came back to his senses and asked, "Since the explosives have run out, what do you use to fry the white sheep?" ”

"You can make it when you run out!"

"There's nothing in this place, how can it be built?"

Although Zhang Mao has not participated in scientific research, he knows very well that any high-tech novelty needs the support of a strong industrial system behind it, and it cannot be completed overnight.

Tehran has no industrial base at all, it is okay to build a kiln to burn bricks, but it is impossible to make explosives.

Belin smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, we have a new secret weapon, which can be replaced by black powder." ”

Zhang Mao scratched his head and asked, "Brother, your brother and I don't read much, but I know the difference between black powder and yellow powder, how can this thing be replaced?" ”

"It's naturally better to have yellow powder, it's not like there is nothing now, so we can only temporarily replace it with black powder, but we have improved the structure of the bomb, and black powder can also exert good power."

Zhang Mao felt that his brain couldn't keep up, and he was silent for a long time, and said: "I'm tired of hurrying, let's go, brother, please eat meat!" ”

The camp is busy killing sheep and stew.

The barrels filled with wine are also opened, and the aroma is overflowing.

Alejandro ate mutton, drank wine, and said drunkly: "General Zhang, our wine here is beautiful, just like ...... Beautiful ......"

Zhang Mao looked at him angrily and said, "Look at your virtue, if you can't drink it, drink less!" ”

According to common sense, alcohol is not allowed during the march, but today I was more happy to meet with the Academy of Sciences, so everyone drank two glasses.

Who knew that Alejandro's alcohol consumption was so bad that after a glass, he began to slurred his speech.

"Hehe, General Zhang, you come...... Come and drink! ”

Zhang Mao secretly said in his heart that if he dared to play drunk, he would order someone to tie him up directly, and the province would be embarrassed.

Alessandro stepped forward and held a wine glass: "In the Ming Dynasty, I haven't drunk such a good wine, right?" ”

Zhang Mao couldn't help but say: "This thing is not a rare thing, it was available in the Han Dynasty!" ”

"Han Dynasty, what Han Dynasty? Isn't it Han, Ming Dynasty? ”

Alessandro had just learned some Chinese, so he naturally couldn't figure out the difference between the Han and the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Mao drank all the wine in the cup and said, "Han Dynasty...... It is more than 1,000 years ago, there is a poem as evidence, the glow-in-the-dark cup of grape wine, if you want to drink the pipa, you will urge immediately! ”

"The general can also write poetry?"

Alejandro looked at Zhang Mao with a little more admiration in his eyes.

Zhang Mao was secretly proud, and said: "It was made by a very famous person at that time, right, Brother Bei!" ”

Belin couldn't listen anymore and said, "Brother Zhang, the author of this poem is called Wang Han, and he is from the Tang Dynasty. ”

Zhang Mao was puzzled: "Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Wang Han is a poet in the Wuzhou Dynasty, about 800 years ago, this person is bold and informal, and this Liangzhou poem is a famous sentence that has been passed down through the ages!"

Alessandro was full of doubts and asked, "Is it the Tang Dynasty or the Wu Zhou?" ”

Belin explains: "The Wu Zhou was only a short-lived regime, and later generations still regarded it as part of the Tang Dynasty. ”

The more Alejandro listened, the more confused he became, he shook his hand weakly, and said: "The history of your Han people is too complicated, I can't understand it, I don't understand it......"

Zhang Mao said secretly in his heart, don't say you can't figure it out, I seem to be confused!

"Okay, let's not talk about that tonight, drink!"

Belin took a sip of the wine glass, nodded and said, "The wine here is really good, compared to the wine in Huaiyuan County, it is a little sweeter and more fragrant." ”

Zhang Mao smashed his mouth and said, "I don't feel it!" ”

"You taste it carefully."

Belin took another sip and said thoughtfully: "It should be the problem of grapes, according to the research of the Institute of Agronomy, the difference between light and temperature has a great impact on the crops, and the barrel they hold wine seems to be oak, but I don't know what the meaning is, this information needs to be recorded and returned to the Institute of Agronomy for research." ”

Zhang Mao looked blankly at the wine in the glass, as well as the barrel on the side.

"Brother Bei, let's talk about the next step!"
