Chapter 204: The Mongol-Han Controversy

At this moment, the Zhang Qi groaned, but woke up from a coma.

Zhang Hongfan hurriedly crossed the crowd, came directly to Zhang Jue's side, and helped him up: "Gongduan, how are you?"

"Father!" Seeing Zhang Hongfan appear here, Zhang Qi couldn't help but feel comfortable, but when he thought of the incident on the battlefield, he was a little annoyed: "This battle, if it weren't for my plan to underestimate the enemy, I would definitely not have caused this kind of thing." Please also ask the father to punish the child, don't care about personal feelings!"

"Alas. You, as before, are the most pleasing to your father. ”

Zhang Hongfan's face was kind, and he raised his hand to caress the other party's face, but he felt that after this battle, he and his son were much more mature.

He still remembered that it was Zhang Jue who saw his sad face at the beginning, so he stepped forward and took on this task.

Zhang Jue felt ashamed, lowered his head and replied: "It's a pity that the child didn't succeed and disappointed his father." ”

"Nine times out of ten, those who are unsatisfactory in the world. To Zhang Jue's surprise, Zhang Hongfan did not reprimand on his face, but with a little love, and his bland words also calmed his mood a little, and quietly listened to his father's story: "You are a fledgling, and it is only natural that you are not as good as others, so what is there to disappoint your father?"

"However, after all, I have never annihilated the red thief and captured Handan City!" The figures of the two flashed by, Zhang Jue clenched his hands suddenly, and his eyes were full of burning fighting spirit.

When it comes to lifelong enemies, there is no comparison with these two!

Faintly, Zhang Qi was a little lucky, thinking that there was finally someone in this world who could fight against him.

Zhang Hongfan comforted: "Although Xiang Yu is brave, Wujiang will inevitably die; If the great man is like this, how can we be spared?" As he spoke, he patted Zhang Jue's shoulder again, making him feel extremely relieved, and then instructed: "The most important thing for you now is to recuperate with peace of mind, do you know?"

"I see. Zhang Jue nodded, but then he was a little scared and asked, "It's just father, my injury ——??"

In order to break through the encirclement before, he had self-inflicted ten years of penance, if this body cultivation is completely gone, if he wants to confront the other party in the future, I am afraid that it will also be wishful thinking.

Zhang Hongfan said with a smile: "Your injury, I have already asked a famous doctor to treat you, and it is the true yuan that has been lost, and it has also been replenished with medicinal stones." As long as you recover, you can naturally return to the old days!"

After all, Zhang Qi is Zhang Hongfan's biological son, in order to be able to save him, Zhang Hongfan doesn't know how much effort he has took!

Zhang Jue's heart warmed, and he thanked him: "Thank you, father!"

"Gongduan, you are my son after all. No matter what, I will keep you safe, and I will not lose anything. Zhang Hongfan smiled, and hated the Red Phoenix Army even more.

Many relatives died at the hands of the other party, and if it weren't for his strength, he would have come to the door a long time ago.

Now, I can only endure it for the time being!

Bidding farewell to Zhang Qi, Zhang Hongfan thought about the Northern Expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty, and came to the military tent where everyone was. At this moment, this military tent was already full of people, among whom there were Han Chinese, as well as Semu, Khitan, Jurchen, and Tubo, and they all stood solemnly, quietly looking at Boyan in the center.

In the previous Northern Expedition, this Boyan was really beautiful, although there was a flaw in calculating Xiao Yue's mistakes, but compared to the results of the others' defeats and retreats, it was still enough for him to be reused by Ali Buge, and appointed here as a commander!

"Are you here?"

With his eyes slightly raised, Boyan glanced at Zhang Hongfan.

Zhang Hongfan did not move, bowed his body, and replied: "The dog was attacked by the rebel army a few days ago and was seriously injured. I was worried about his safety, so it was too late. ”

"Hmph, then do you know that my life is on the verge of death, but you left the table without permission at this time to take care of your son? Without waiting for Boyan to ask, a Mongol general had already questioned it.

Zhang Hongfan couldn't help frowning, and opened his mouth to reply: "I have heard that the faithful should put their family and country first. If I don't even care about my family, how can I put the society first? Moreover, since I was in the army, I have always taken the lead in every battle, and I have never shirked the sword and the sea of fire, so how can I never take the country to heart? The general's words are serious!"

The general was speechless for a moment, and had to retreat.

"Marshal Zhang. He was also a little anxious, so he didn't notice it, and I beg your pardon. The corners of Boyan's mouth curled slightly, directly blocking Zhang Hongfan's reprimand, pointing to the seat next to him, motioning for Zhang Hongfan to sit down, and then asked: "We are currently discussing how to deal with it, but I don't know what Marshal Zhang has to say?"

Zhang Hongfan lowered his head and glanced at the sand table in front of him.

On this sand table, all the cities captured by the Song army all the way have already been marked, so that people can see them at a glance.

"I didn't expect this Song army to go so far?" Touching his chin, Zhang Hongfan couldn't help but get nervous.

Boyan smiled: "Of course. After all, due to the Northern Expedition before, the grain and grass here have already been hollowed out. They did not have the strength to stop their forces and resist the Song army's attack. With his eyes full of inquiry, he continued to ask, "It's just that in your opinion, how should we act to be able to stop the other party's attack?"

"In my opinion, this Song Dynasty attack seems to be violent, but in fact, there is not much preparation. After pondering for a moment, Zhang Hongfan replied loudly.

Boyan Qi said: "Why?"

"Wait and see. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were divided into three routes, one of which was dominated by Li Tingzhi, but he was only confined to the area around Xiangyang, and there was not much action other than that. Obviously, it was just to prevent our army from attacking Xiangyang, and there was not much intention of the Northern Expedition. On the other hand, Zhang Shijie was the main force, although he repeatedly provoked battles on the front line of the Jianghuai River, but he did not break away from the canal, and his intention should only be to clear the remaining forces around him and consolidate the front line. But—"

"But that Jia seems to be too aggressive, did he hit Mizhou?" Boyan smiled, but said what Zhang Hongfan didn't finish saying directly.

Zhang Hongfan nodded, agreeing with the other party's conclusion.

"That's right. Although the road was high, it was too anxious, there was no charter at all, and it was too far from the canal. Even if they rely on sea ships for transportation, they must march along the coast, otherwise why have they not attacked the Central Plains for a long time?"

Since that year, the Song Dynasty saw that the Chifeng Army actually transported grain by sea ship, and opened a new way of thinking.

The army needs a lot of food, and to transport it, you need reliable means of transportation, and in this era, it is nothing more than relying on horses by land and by boat.

The Song Dynasty was located in the south, and its territory was narrow and densely populated, and there was not much land for raising horses, so the land route could basically be abandoned.

And the most convenient way to go north is along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. However, after decades of war, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has long been silted up with a lot of soil, and many passages have long been blocked, so it can be said that it is basically in a state of abandonment.

As a result, the Song Dynasty gave up the option of land transportation and chose sea transportation.

This sea transportation, one of the transport volume, the two are also fast and convenient, the three Song Dynasty itself has a fairly developed sea vessels, the three in one, actually let this Northern Expedition play a far more than the previous Northern Expedition effect, it really made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and amazed.

The only problem was that the ship could not go ashore, so the Northern Expedition did not dare to enter the hinterland!

"Then you mean, start with Jia Rudao?" Boyan said thoughtfully.

Zhang Hongfan nodded, but then showed a little annoyance: "It's a pity that we lack a sea ship that can fight, if we want to defeat the Song Dynasty naval army, I'm afraid it's impossible!"

"Song Dynasty Naval Army?" Boyan was also annoyed.

It's not that he didn't think about cutting off the absolute grain road, for Boyan, who is good at cavalry combat, this is really commonplace.

However, the Song Dynasty relied on the sea to transport grain, which was really beyond Boyan's expectations.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, the naval battle and the land battle are diametrically opposed, and most of the people under Boyan's command are inland people, and they can't adapt to coastal life at all, if they run on the sea ship, they have to be bumped by the waves and lose their souls, let alone fight.

In the face of such a situation, even Boyan was helpless.

Zhang Hongfan replied: "It is precisely because of this that we can only lure the other party into the inland, and then cut off the other party's grain route and cut off the other party's logistics, so the other party will naturally not be able to fight when it is isolated and helpless." When the time comes, I'm afraid that I will only flee back in disgrace!"

When everyone heard this, they all bowed their heads slightly and agreed.

But there were still people who shouted directly with provocation: "If we follow your method, then wouldn't we be tantamount to giving away the territory that we once fought hard to others?"

"That's right. We are fortunate to have fought down those places, how can we give them to Han Dog so cheaply?" The rest catered in.

Some people even directly began to accuse Zhang Hongfan: "If you want me to see, you are simply afraid, otherwise why would you propose this approach?"

......

Many voices were mixed together, which made Zhang Hongfan feel a little dissatisfied.

If he put it in front of him, he was afraid that he would have shouted angrily, but now that Boyan was standing in the middle of everyone, he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only quietly watch Boyan's movements.

After about a few minutes, everyone scolded enough, and said that they were tired, although they still looked at Zhang Hongfan with hostility, they finally didn't have the same impulse as before.

Bo Yan replied slowly: "Marshal Zhang also has a heart, so he just made this kind of proposal, don't say such words, otherwise if you anger Marshal Zhang, won't you bury your future?"
