"That said. But how do you think this should be resolved?"

Ma Yundong just wanted to agree, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was a little inappropriate to be so rash.

If it is not a person who chooses and causes Wang Shiyi and others to fail, it is his fault.

So Ma Yundong thought about considering a few people.

Duan Ling smiled loudly and replied with confidence: "What is the difficulty in this matter? We only need to follow the example of the former lord and completely disrupt the Central Plains. At that time, Mongolia will be subject to internal unrest and will certainly not be able to free up its hands to solve us. And we can also take this opportunity to deal with the Mongol army first, and then lead our men into the Central Plains, and then the world will be taken by us!"

Ma Yundong was stunned for a moment, and asked again: "Then, what about them?"

Duan Ling's move was also feasible, but when Ma Yundong heard it, he felt a little unhappy.

If it was according to Duan Ling's actions, wouldn't the people of Handan be sacrificed?

"Them?"

"Rebel soldiers, of course. ”

Ma Yun reminded him, and his evaluation of Duan Ling was a little weaker in his heart.

If he did so, wouldn't his arguments for the rebels be tantamount to empty talk?

"Are they? It is their endless glory to be able to sacrifice for the revival of China and others. Duan Ling was puzzled, but still firmly believed in his beliefs.

Ma Yundong's heart was gloomy, he looked at Zhou Yu again, and asked, "What about you?"

"Me?"

"That's right. If it were you, what would you do?"

"If it were me, I would probably stick to Handan. After all, Handan has a large population, and if it can be occupied, it will be equivalent to obtaining a steady stream of soldiers. Zhou Yu elaborated.

Ma Yundong listened, his eyebrows stretched slightly, with a little approval.

Seeing Ma Yundong's preference, Duan Ling was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and interjected and asked: "What about the enemy? Don't forget, Handan City is located in the heart of the enemy, and it will be attacked by the enemy anytime and anywhere. ”

"Definitely. This matter is also key. ”

Although Zhou Yu was provoked, his demeanor was calm and he didn't care much, and continued to elaborate: "But you also know that now the main Mongolian forces have been transferred to Pingliang Mansion in order to be able to confront us, and although there are armies in the Central Plains, most of them are old and weak. Although Zhang Rou was stationed, he was currently held back by the Song Dynasty, and it was easy for him to move at all. And this time is also our opportunity. I think the leader of the rebel army must have a similar mentality!"

"What if the other party mobilizes a large army to attack?" Ma Yundong asked again.

All this speculation is based on the fact that the Mongols would not attack the city of Handan on a large scale.

But what if the Mongols invaded in a big way?

Zhou Yu smiled again: "If you want to capture Handan City." Unless it is the main force of Mongolia, or Zhang Rou's personal leadership, others will not be able to capture it at all. And if the main Mongolian force comes with all its might, it also means that the Northern Expedition has ended. When the time comes, we will concentrate the forces of our army and the rebel army, and we should be able to confront the Mongols. If it is Zhang Rou, we only need to convince the Southern Song Dynasty, and in order to prevent the loss of the country, the guy must not be rash!"

"But all this is based on the strength of the rebel army. How sure are you that you will survive under the siege of your princes?"

Ma Yundong looked at Zhou Yu quietly, and he was also extremely worried.

This plan may seem conservative, but it is riskier than Duan Ling's plan.

If you are not careful, you will be destroyed by the enemy!

Zhou Yu was silent for a while, and then replied with a bitter face: "To be honest, I don't know. After all, I'm not familiar with it. I don't know their personnel, their level of training, their weapons, and so on!"

"Don't you know?" Ma Yundong fell silent.

Zhou Yu could only be silent about this.

"Okay, I know what to do!" Ma Yundong thought for a long time before he said: "In that case, then the two of you will go together, led by Zhou Yu, Duan Ling, you as your deputy, do you know?"

"The subordinates understand that the fixed eye does not live up to the mission. Zhou Yu replied.

But Duan Ling complained a little and raised his own question: "Why do you want me to be below him?"

Zhou Yu is thoughtful and considerate of his subordinates. I'll be relieved to have him lead, and you're too out of the ordinary, though often whimsical, and even more amazing. But acting is inevitably a bit extreme, if a person accidentally clashes with the rebels and others, it is easy to ruin our reputation. After all, we haven't been in touch with them for a long time, and we're more or less rusty. Ma Yundong explained.

After listening to this, the two agreed to explain.

But Ma Yundong was still worried, stopped the two again, and advised: "Remember, this mission is extraordinary, because if you are not careful, you will die there." So you have to be careful when you get there, you know?"

These comforting words are just a gesture of heart, as for what the other party will do after arriving in Handan, Ma Yundong is not clear.

Duan Ling and Zhou Yu each retreated, packed their luggage, and returned to the military academy the next day, from which they each selected thirty students, formed a staff group of sixty people, and they left Chang'an City and stepped on the train to Tongguan.

After bidding farewell to the two, Ma Yundong was a little sad.

"Alas. It's like this every year, and I really hope when it stops, but if that time does, I guess the world will be peaceful. What can we do then?"

Dissipated the hesitation in his heart, Ma Yundong returned to the State Council.

At this moment, another herald came quickly.

"What's going on again?" Ma Yundong asked curiously.

The man said: "This is the flying pigeon biography from Yuan Ye." He has now captured Qinzhou, so he wants us to send troops to defend it, so as not to be given a chance to come back by the enemy!"

"It turned out to be Yuan Ye? I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, he would have already captured Qincheng? This is really a good thing!" Ma Yundong smiled quite brightly.

In the midst of all the bad news, this news was the only one that could make him happy.

General Yuan also said that after leaving Qinzhou, in order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, he will completely hide his whereabouts, and if he wants to contact him at that time, he is afraid that it will be quite difficult. Therefore, he hopes that we can replenish the ordnance and food he has lost, so that we will not have enough strength to attack the enemy after penetrating into the enemy camp. ”

Ma Yundong smiled: "You let him rest assured, I will definitely make up for all the lost weapons!"

————

Qinzhou.

Looking at the undulating mountains in the distance, Yuan Ye was a little melancholy, the war horse under his crotch was a little impatient, kicking his hooves from time to time, and the tail of the horse behind him also swayed, which looked a little comfortable.

"Are you leaving again?"

Turning around, Yuan Ye glanced at the city behind him, his expression a little gloomy.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Cheng asked.

Compared with Yuan Ye's somewhat depressed mood, he was a little eager to try, and there was still a desire to make contributions in his eyes.

Yuan Ye laughed at himself: "Why, I just remembered the past!"

"In the past?" Zhou Cheng was puzzled.

"Hmm. Twenty years ago, it is not so easy to forget. Yuan Ye tugged at his mouth, trying to make himself laugh, but he felt that his face was extremely stiff and looked weird.

"Twenty years ago?"

Zhou Cheng looked stunned for a moment, and after a turn in his mind, he realized: "It turns out that General Yuan is a veteran of the Long March?"

He would have just entered the Red Phoenix Army, but in the case of collecting information in every possible way, he naturally knew about the veterans of the Long March.

These veterans all joined before the Luzhou Defensive War, and after the tempering of the Long March, their military quality and ability in all aspects are above ordinary people, and they have always been revered.

Yuan Ye replied: "Yes, I joined during the Battle of Taiyuan. ”

"The Battle of Taiyuan, so far, but you still look so young. Zhou Cheng was a little surprised.

The person in front of him didn't look much older than him, but he didn't expect to be in the Red Phoenix Army for twenty years?

No wonder you can lead troops to fight in all directions in this year!

Yuan Ye laughed and said, "Young, I'm in my thirties now, how young can I be?"

"Are you in your thirties? Did you join the Red Phoenix Army when you were ten years old?" Zhou Cheng asked in amazement.

At this time, he was still messing around in the academy.

Yuan Ye shook his head and said with a smile: "I was just born in a poor family, if it weren't for the Red Phoenix Army to break through Taiyuan, I'm afraid I would have starved to death a long time ago!"

"So that's it?"

Zhou Cheng's heart was shocked, he quickly straightened up, and begged: "Then General Yuan, can you say no to us?

"Majestic? After all, at that time, we didn't have these elite weapons in our hands, and many of them went to the battlefield without training. Running away is a common thing!" Yuan Ye laughed and prevaricated.

He had never wanted to explain much about the past, so as not to provoke his own sadness.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Yuan Ye waved his horsewhip and ordered: "Let's take advantage of this time to act quickly." Otherwise, if the enemy finds out, it will be terrible!"

"Order!"

Zhou Cheng hurriedly urged the war horse and followed closely behind Zhou Cheng.

The rest of the people were the same, urging the war horses under their crotches to leave Qinzhou at this time when the morning light was first appearing and the light was not yet bright.

Located at the front of the march, Yuan Ye took one last sideways glance at Qinzhou, and then there was his home and his relatives, and he thought to himself: "I hope that this time, I can return safely." ”

His eyes were a little blurry, and in an instant he felt as if he had become the hairy boy who had just joined the Red Phoenix Army.

The same immaturity, the same apprehension.

At that time, he was always worried about the future, afraid that he would die that day.

Fighting all the way, drifting all the way, and finally coming to the present.

And today, he embarked on the journey again, only this time it was no longer an escape, but a clarion call for counterattack.
