After Zhang Wuji watched the recital, he shouted excitedly.

Zhang Wuji said: "Okay! Bianzhou City is back, our capital is back! Liu Futong said in the recital, welcome the saint and return the capital, it seems that we have to work harder. ”

Huo Jia said at this time: "This is really good, I didn't expect the Yuan army to fight so much." It seems that the Mongolian iron cavalry that swept the world back then is not much more powerful now. ”

Zhao Min shook his head and said: "This is not true, this is not that the Mongolian iron cavalry has become weaker, it's just that the Han people are too strong." At that time, we Mongolians were able to enter the Central Plains only because there was only half of the Great Song Dynasty left, and the Song and Jin Dynasty were feuds, so it was impossible to resist with one heart. Now that Brother Wuji has regained the hearts of the people, he can naturally defeat us. They all say that we Mongols are warlike, but I don't think it's right, to say that the most warlike people in the world are their Han people. ”

When Zhang Wuji heard this, he couldn't help but feel curious, and he asked, "Oh? Minmin, why do you say that? ”

Zhao Min continued: "After Genghis Khan unified Mongolia, we Mongols rarely fought each other against each other. Even if there is, the war of your Han people is huge in scale, and the war is long. Not to mention other eras, your Zhou Dynasty, the nations competed for power, and this war has not stopped for 700 years. Almost every generation took part in the war. Compared to the Han Chinese, we Mongols are not very warlike. ”

Zhang Wuji smiled when he heard this: "If you say so, this is not bad." All right! We don't dwell on that anymore. In short, the Central Plains has been restored, and this is a thing worth celebrating. We also have to think about the next phase of the operation. ”

Zhao Min swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said: "You have two directions now, one is to go north to take Qingxu, and after meeting with Liu Dashuai, they will fight a decisive battle with my father, but when it is a decisive battle, I think my father and king can't hold it." After that, the three armies converged, and then broke through the capital, completely ending our Mongol rule in the Central Plains. ”

And the second direction is to eliminate Zhu Yuanzhang, who is close at hand. Now that Fang Guozhen died in the chaos, Chen Youding committed suicide and martyrdom. Now that we have captured Suzhou, although we have embedded a nail in Zhu Yuanzhang's territory, this place is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Zhu Yuanzhang has already won the entire Jiangdong, and now he is a veritable King of Wu. If we don't eradicate him before he is still young, he will surely become a great problem in our abdomen in the future. ”

Zhang Wuji snorted lightly and said, "Now it's time to knock Zhu Yuanzhang." However, in the former Mingjiao comradeship, I still want to talk to him. He has a lot of capable ministers and famous generals, and if he is willing to surrender, I can give him a prince with a different surname. Then he will be rich and prosperous. It's good for everyone. ”

Zhou Zhiruo said at this time: "I don't think this possibility is very likely. Although I have not met this Zhu Yuanzhang, when I went to Jinling as an envoy, I met his children and wife. From my contact with them, I can feel that Zhu Yuanzhang is an ambitious person. And although he is the king of Wu, when I talk to Brother Chang, he is also constrained by an interest group of the 'Huaixi faction'. These people are mainly his sworn brothers, and most of them are Huaixi people. These people come from humble backgrounds, and for their own interests, they will not let Zhu Yuanzhang really surrender to us. ”

Zhang Wuji thought about it and said: "This is true, if Zhu Yuanzhang descends with Lilly, then he is the only one who will be canonized." And the brothers who followed him to fight the world, the highest achievement in the future is just a marquis. But if you follow Zhu Yuanzhang to win the world, others don't know, but Zhu Yuanzhang's Huaixi sons, at least the duke. With this entanglement, they won't allow the eldest brother to enjoy the happiness alone. ”

Zhao Min asked: "So, do you want to clean up Zhu Yuanzhang first?" ”

Zhang Wuji thought carefully for a while and said, "Now is also the time. I have given Zhu Yuanzhang a lot of opportunities, but he doesn't cherish it. Now if you go to kill him again, presumably Brother Xu and Brother Chang can't say anything. We are also famous. One is that Zhu Yuanzhang refused to surrender and did not listen to Mingzun's orders, which is a crime. Of the two, Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding have agreed to take refuge in Mingzun, but he led his troops to fight, these two crimes. These two sins are enough to appease the hearts of the people in the world. ”

Zhang Wuji's voice fell, and at this time, a voice outside the door said: "Don't be so troublesome, you can charge Zhu Yuanzhang with any more crimes." Now he has only one crime, and that is rebellion! ”

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see Su Mengqing running in in a hurry. He had a bloody newspaper in his hand.

Su Mengqing handed the bloody Tang newspaper to Zhang Wuji.

Su Mengqing said: "This is just sent. Zhu Yuanzhang has rebelled. He led an army of 200,000 men to attack the harbor where we stopped our ships. cut us off from Jiangbei. The envoys we sent out to persuade Zhang Shicheng's old ministry to surrender were also blocked. Now Zhu Yuanzhang's army of 200,000 has surrounded us in the city of Suzhou. This urgent report was sent back by the soldiers guarding the river at the risk of death. ”

Zhang Wuji's hands trembled a little, and he asked, "What about the soldiers who delivered the letter?" I will reward him heavily. ”

Su Mengqing shook his head at this time and said, "He's dead." He sent this telegram back with all his might. As soon as his war horse ran to Suzhou City, he was physically exhausted and planted with excessive blood loss. Before he died, he didn't say anything, just pointed to the Tang Bao in his arms. He was pierced through the chest with a crown of arrows. We found this blood-soaked newspaper in his arms. ”

Zhang Wuji sighed at this time and said, "It's all my fault!" I didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang, a monk who asked for food, to really dare to rebel. ”

Zhao Min said: "Okay! Now is not the time to regret it, we have to think carefully about how to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang's siege. At the moment we don't have a lot of troops. Before we went south to divide our troops, we brought less than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Although Zhang Shicheng was defeated and some people were recruited, now that we are besieged, the loyalty of these generals is also a problem. These people can't use it directly. And we must prevent them from taking the opportunity to rebel and make trouble. Now it's a real crisis. ”

Huo Jia said at this time: "What are you afraid of in a dangerous situation? With our martial arts, if we want to leave, who can stop us? ”

The woman in the yellow shirt said, "That being said, the other centaurs in this city can't escape. ”

Zhao Min said: "Either we fight to the death, stick to the city and keep sending people to Zhao Pusheng and Zhang Dingbian for help." Either we will lead a large army to fight out. Either we flee alone, and then give the city of Suzhou to Zhu Yuanzhang, so that our soldiers and horses surrender to him. However, at the moment, Suzhou City has become an isolated city, and I don't think it is the best way to defend here. ”

At this time, everyone looked at Zhang Wuji, intending to let Zhang Wuji, the emperor, have a decent idea.
