"Didn't it work out?"

Seeing Dong Huai's depressed look, Zheng Qingzhi already understood. ◇ Tomato Fiction Network '.

Dong Huai nodded and said with a little disappointment: "That's right." She has already said that if we don't settle those follow-up payments, she will hold those arms and will not give them to us. ”

"If that's the case, it's going to be difficult. Zheng Qingzhi sighed, his face full of pity.

At this time, it was the time to fight against the Mongols, and the army was in urgent need of food and ammunition, and it was impossible to squeeze out the only food and pay and give it to the Red Phoenix Army.

Otherwise, the ruffians will explode in no time!

Such things are not uncommon in the history of the Song Dynasty.

"It's not impossible. Dong Huai paused, and felt that if he didn't tell what Xiao Feng said, he would be a little worried, so he opened his mouth and said: "Commander Xiao said that if we are willing to help him become king, then she is willing to send that batch of arms over." Seeing Zheng Qingzhi's expression moving slightly, Dong Huai took a deep breath and continued: "Of course, if we refuse, she is afraid that she will not fulfill the contract!"

"What a guy, at this time, you are taking advantage of the fire to rob?" Zheng Qingzhi's face suddenly turned red, obviously extremely annoyed.

Dong Huai persuaded: "But you should also know. If we don't agree to her request, then what if Xiangyang City will be captured at that time? And most importantly, if we continue to stalemate like this, I'm afraid that the Red Phoenix Army will not continue to be in peace. When the time comes, the Sichuan and Shu areas, I am afraid that they will not be in our grasp. Qin's annihilation of Shu, you should understand!"

Zheng Qingzhi immediately paused and whispered, "Will she?"

"I don't know. But I know that this woman is not a benevolent person, and her means of standing out from the crowd should not be underestimated. What's more, this woman is still so young, but she has such a means in the past ten years, which is really admirable. Dong Huai said slowly, but for Xiao Feng, who had always been calm, he showed fear for the first time.

It is impossible to peep, speculate, and grasp.

I thought that by luring this woman into the city, they would be able to hold her and swallow up all the troops and territory under her command.

Before they could finish this, they were trapped by the Mongol invasion, and now they are trapped, and if they are not careful, they will be shot by the cold arrows hidden in the shadows.

Zheng Qingzhi was also full of helplessness, sighed and said, "Alas. It seems that we can only go once. ”

At this moment, Jiang Wanli also walked into it from outside the hall.

When he saw the two of them in mourning, he immediately asked, "Seeing that you are sad in your faces, could it be that something has happened?"

"It's not about Xiao Feng?" Shaking his head, Dong Huai's face was stinky, since the Vertical Arch Palace, every time he saw Xiao Feng, he was crushed to death by this woman, and he didn't look like an important minister of the court.

Jiang Wanli understood it and complained: "It seems that the other party still refuses to let go?"

"That's right. This woman threatens us with arms in an attempt to get us to agree to the kingship. That's why I'm in a state of distress. Dong Huai opened his mouth to complain.

Zheng Qingzhi also expressed his helplessness: "Although I want to refuse, you also know the strength of the Red Phoenix Army. If we rashly offend the other party, we are afraid that the other party will hate each other, and if the time comes, if friends and foes exchange with each other, what should we do?"

"That's what the front-line soldiers said?" Jiang Wanli continued to ask.

Zheng Qingzhi replied: "I once wrote to Meng Hui and Zhao Kui to ask for their opinions. Among them, Meng Heng once said: If you can, you should use it as a help, if not, don't be an enemy, otherwise the snipe and the clam will compete for the benefit of the fisherman. Zhao Kui also said: If you get it, you should believe it, if you can't, you will destroy it quickly!" Fu You smiled bitterly, obviously disapproving of what Zhao Kui said: "Now is the time for the Mongolian army to invade, if there is another war at this time, wouldn't it be waiting for death?"

"So to speak. Even if it's the two of them, aren't they 100% sure?" Jiang Wanli realized at this time.

Zheng Qingyi said with a bitter face: "If you want to destroy the Red Phoenix Army, you will need 200,000 troops, to say the least." And now, where are we going to draw the army?"

"Alas, it looks like we'll have to drag it out first. Jiang Wanli also felt helpless, so he had to accept the suggestions of the two.

He was in charge of his own finances and taxes, and naturally knew that with the current finances of the Song Dynasty, it was impossible to even update the weapons of the whole army, and it was already stretched to deal with the Mongol invasion.

Zheng Qingzhi bowed slightly, and ordered: "As for the food, then please leave it to you." ”

"Don't worry. Naturally, I will make sure that the food and salary are safe, and there will be no loss in the slightest. Jiang Wanli immediately responded, showing his integrity.

But at this time, there was a burst of horses' hooves from outside the hall, and everyone walked out of the hall under curiosity, and saw a person jumping off the tired war horse, and then said to the ministers: "The Huangpi fishermen rioted, and now they have killed the envoy Yuan along the river, and all of them have been thrown into the Mongolian command. At this time, Xiangyang City is completely in danger. ”

"What?"

All three of them were startled, and one fell to the ground.

Feeling annoyed, Zheng Qingzhi grabbed his hair with a look of horror in his eyes: "Why did this happen at this time?"

"I just said, that Yuan has always been brutal and obedient, if he is promoted to the envoy along the river, something will happen sooner or later. Look at this time, aren't you playing with fire?" Jiang Wanli's hatred has not disappeared, obviously he knows a lot about that Yuan, otherwise he would not have stopped like this.

"It's also that I'm too careless. Thinking that this person would be able to raise the taxes in the government, he became an envoy along the river to ensure that the government could pay enough taxes. Zheng Qingzhi also felt helpless, and blamed himself: "I didn't expect him to become so cruel when he went, otherwise how could he provoke that group of fishermen, and even lose his own life?"

"Alas. His death came simply, but it made us fall into a passive state. ”

Dong Huai smiled bitterly, but felt that his luck was too bad at the moment, and he actually made them feel this kind of thing, and they really wanted to stop doing it.

But when he thought of Naxi's old and young and weak, Dong Huai could only cheer up and remind: "Yuan's death is certainly uncomfortable. But the most important thing now is the safety of the country. If Mongolia cooperates with these fishermen, then what happened to Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun will be repeated. When the time comes, what are we going to do?"

Wave after wave, this series of things, I really don't want them to have time to breathe.
