"Shi Tianze, is he also dead?"

When she heard the news at first glance, Zhang Rou was immediately stunned.

Zhang Hongfan also felt the same pathos, and replied in a low voice: "Enlighten father." Just three days ago, Shi Tianze led his men and horses, intending to break through Zhengzhou. However, Zhengzhou had long been occupied by the Red Feng Army, and many traps were laid here. Shi Tianze's strength was not good, and he was killed by Xiao Feng. After his death, his men and horses also led the crowd to kill the Mongol commander in the army, and the rest fled to Bianjing City. ”

"Who is the leader?" Zhang Rou seemed to be full of surprise and scolded sharply.

Zhang Hongfan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he immediately replied: "It's Song Zizhen." ”

"Song Zizhen, I didn't expect this person to be so loyal and never surrendered?" Zhang Rou was stunned for a moment, muttering to herself.

Zhang Hongfan sounded strange and asked, "Father." Listening to what you say, is there any mystery in this?"

"That's right. Think about it, who is Song Zizhen? When Shi Tianze was not killed, this person was just the chief bookkeeper in the army, and he had no other influence except for some admonitions. However, under Shi Tianze's command, except for this person, the rest of the people all fell. Isn't that strange?More importantly, what do you do when you're faced with such a situation?" Zhang Rou sneered, but the laughter made Zhang Hongfan shudder.

Zhang Hongfan immediately came to his senses and complained: "Could it be that this person has already surrendered to the Red Phoenix Army?"

"I guess that's it. Zhang Roufu thought about it, but sighed: "But it should be so." After all, they have lived at the bottom for a long time and have not been taken seriously by Mongolia, so there is some truth in finding another way out. Immediately afterwards, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he sighed: "It's just that since I have been taken refuge by these people, I'm afraid that Bianjing will not be safe." In this case, it is impossible for us to go to Bianjing, otherwise we will definitely fall for the other party's tricks like Shi Tianze!"

He is a generation of generals, so he can naturally see at a glance that the purpose of Xiao Feng's trip is just to use Kaifeng as bait and design himself to get into it.

However, since she saw through this plan, it was naturally impossible for Zhang Rou to continue to make this kind of action.

"Then, why don't I inform Fan Yongji of Henan Province and ask him to kill these betrayers?"

Located on the side, Zhang Hongsheng walked out and spat out gloomy words.

He is different from Zhang Hongfan, Zhang Hongfan is good at military strategy, but he is better at winning people's hearts.

Therefore, Zhang Rou asked Zhang Hongsheng to hide his identity, and after escaping into the rivers and lakes, he repeatedly absorbed people from the rivers and lakes with money and power, and relied on these people to plant spies in the Mongolian, Southern Dynasties and even the Red Phoenix Army, and then weaved a large intelligence network, which was enough to ensure that no information could escape from his palm.

And the matter of Zhengzhou naturally can't escape his eyes.

Zhang Rou shook her head and replied: "No! Although Song Zizhen's strength is not good, but looking at his usual performance, he is not an ordinary person. Since he dared to take refuge in the Red Phoenix Army, he had enough confidence. And if we act rashly, if we can't annihilate the traitors, it's fine, but if we expose our spies buried in the Red Phoenix Army, and give the other party a chance to destroy them completely, it's not a good thing. Leave this matter in secret, and don't do that thing. ”

"The child knows. Zhang Hongsheng bowed slightly, answered, and disappeared into the darkness again.

Zhang Hongfan was a little worried, stepped forward again, and asked, "Since this is the case, I don't know what we should do next?"

Compared with the Red Phoenix Army at the beginning, the Red Phoenix Army now has more numbers, as many as 30,000 horses, and the quality and quantity of firearms equipped are also more than in the past, even its leading commander Xiao Feng, after being reborn from Nirvana in the stone egg, is also beyond the ordinary, otherwise how can he easily destroy Shi Tianze?

And as Zhang Rou, who is tied to Shi Tianze, if he really confronts Xiao Feng, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist!

"Report the matter to the court first. I think that after hearing that Shi Tianze was killed, the current Great Khan should know the current situation in the Central Plains. If so, then he should transfer Guo Kan back. With Guo Kan's strength, he should be able to fight against Xiao Feng. Although Zhang Rou was nervous, she was still calm, and just a few words made Zhang Hongfan calm down.

"Guo Kan?"

Zhang Hongfan was immediately overjoyed and said with a smile: "If there is the Eastern Heaven God of War again, no matter how powerful Xiao Feng is, there is only the possibility of surrendering and capturing him." Zhang smiled wildly, obviously full of confidence in Guo Kan.

After all, this Guo Kan is really a generation of gods, and the seven of them are from Zheng County, Huazhou, and their grandfather Guo Baoyu and their father Guo Dehai are all famous generals under Genghis Khan.

Growing up in this family of generals, Guo Kan naturally learned a skill, and in terms of the art of war, he is also the best, which is admired by everyone. However, what is even more surprising is that when this person accompanied Hulegu's expedition to West Asia, he once independently led a large army to fight in the south and north of West Asia, defeating more than 120 cities in total, and even the crusaders could not stop it, losing nearly 200 cities.

It is precisely for this reason that Guo Kan is called "General Dongtian, God Man" by the people here. "Then he has the name of the god of war in the Eastern Heavens.

Zhang Rou smiled deeply and replied, "That's right." This person had practiced by Shi Tianze's side for a period of time, and the two of them could be regarded as having some master-apprentice fate. But that Xiao Feng killed Shi Tianze, and in order to take revenge, he would definitely not endure it, and he would definitely ask the Great Khan to send troops to help. In the face of such a situation, how could the Great Khan refuse?" The words were full of confidence, as if it only needed for Guo Kan to arrive, and the whole situation would be stabilized again: "When the time comes, or as soon as Guo Kan arrives, the Red Phoenix Army will definitely die." ”

Although Zhang Hongfan felt calmed down, he was still worried, and continued to ask: "But it has been at least half a month since Guo Kan came here. In the past half a month, how should we act?" Thinking about the current situation, he couldn't help but be a little scared, and said, "You must know that Meng Heng is currently leading the troops in pursuit, and the Red Phoenix Army is also blocking the road ahead. How can we avoid such a two-sided attack?"

"Don't worry. I've arranged this well, and I'm sure I'll let them know how good we are. ”

With a light snort, Zhang Rou was still full of confidence, and looked at Zhang Hongsheng and asked, "Have you done what I told you before?"

"Tell the father that the child has done it. The fish intestine sword has been delivered to Fan Yongji. The corners of Zhang Hongsheng's mouth curled slightly, and he immediately said.

Zhang Hongfan's eyes lit up, and he also laughed: "I see." I understood my father's intentions. Just as Xiao Feng did in Kaifeng Mansion, Zhang Rou naturally had her own arrangements for similar situations.

And this fish intestine sword is the key to it!

"That's right. It's just that this matter needs to be kept secret, you must not disclose it, and Fan Yongji should be careful, and be sure that the news will not leak out. Otherwise, the plan will fail. ”

Zhang Rou nodded, thinking of the current situation in the army, and said: "But at the moment, our morale is low, and it is really not suitable to continue to fight." You will give the order to the whole army, and we will withdraw to Dengzhou. Nadengzhou is a coastal land, and in the past, the Red Phoenix Army hid in the sea through the naval army to avoid a catastrophe. Today, we might as well follow the example of the Red Phoenix Army and hide at sea. In that case, see how they solve it?"

"Order!"

Zhang Hongfan got the news, and after saluting Zhang Rou, he immediately turned around and walked into the distance.

The most basic thing to do is to make sure you survive.

Only by staying alive can we win the fruits of victory.

This is the only unchanging truth!

............

Bianjing!

In the palace, Fan Yongji paced back and forth, looking extremely anxious.

On both sides, there were also three or five maids accompanying them, but they didn't dare to disturb them slightly, after all, such a bad temper was really bad, and if they interrupted the other party, they would have to be criticized.

At this moment, a person outside the door walked into it quickly, and it was Zhang Feng, the defense envoy of Bianjing.

Fan Yongji saw this person coming, his eyes lit up, and he walked quickly, just because this person had the news he needed: "Is General Shi here?"

That Zhang Feng's body was shocked, but his knees knelt on the ground with a "bang", two lines of tears fell from his cheeks, and he cried: "Lord Qiyu." Shi Tianze and his subordinates have been annihilated by the Red Feng Army in Longhu Town, Zhengzhou. ”

"What? General Shi, he-"

Fan Yongji looked stunned, unconsciously revealing a trace of fear, and looked at the person in front of him with a trembling voice.

Zhang Feng felt apprehensive, but in the midst of Fan Yongji's questioning, he had no choice but to cheer up and replied, "Lord Qiqi." General Shi, he, he, he has fallen!"

"You mean, Shi Tianze is dead?"

Suddenly, it was dark in front of him, and Fan Yongji couldn't stand it, but he fainted directly.

At this moment, everyone was immediately frightened and stepped forward, pinching the people in the middle, raising their hands and raising their arms, and lifting Fan Yongji together and sending them to the inner mattress so that they could recover.

Leisurely, Fan Yongji woke up from his slumber, his eyes were already blank, and he muttered: "Why did you die? Why did you die?

Obviously, Fan Yongji still can't accept that Shi Tianze passed away so easily!

The most important thing is that as soon as the soldiers under Shi Tianze's command die, there will be no more soldiers to fight in Bianjing, and under the fierce offensive of the Red Phoenix Army, there is no possibility of resistance at all.

That Zhang Feng watched beside him for a while, swallowed the foam, and asked a little surprised: "Master Fan." Please also mourn and change, and don't continue to indulge in the past. After all, General Shi has passed away, and he definitely can't help us. Fu You thought of the Red Phoenix Army, which was currently advancing towards Kaifeng Mansion, and said: "And now that the Red Phoenix Army has come to the city, if Lord Fan continues to do this, I am afraid that the defenders will be discouraged, and there is no possibility of resistance." ”

"Resistance, do you think there's still a chance?"

Laughter suddenly appeared, like a crow crying blood, and even more like a ghost wailing, which made Zhang Feng stunned for an instant, and he almost had the idea of escaping.

"Don't forget, we have less than 3,000 soldiers in the city. Moreover, on the city wall, those iron cannons have long been melted and forged into carbines. Today's Kaifeng Mansion is just a leaky lantern that anyone can easily capture. Fan Yongji seemed to be in despair, and all the words in his mouth were full of mourning.

"My lord, it's not like no one is available!" Zhang Feng paused, and then said, "At least five thousand soldiers and horses escaped from the other party's pursuit?"

Fan Yongji asked again: "Who is it?"

"Lord Fan, it's me!" a person walked in from outside the door, facing Fan Yongji, and he gave his hand.

Fan Yongji was stunned for a while, and unconsciously asked, "Song Zizhen, are you not dead?"

"I'm ashamed to say that. If it weren't for Shi Tianze standing up and stopping that Xiao Feng, I wouldn't have been able to get out of the other party's heavy encirclement. It's just that the brother who followed me is now less than 5,000, and only one-tenth of what it used to be. It's really hard to talk about such a life of nine deaths. Song Zizhen had relatives on her face, but she couldn't help clenching her fists, and there were even more raging flames burning in her eyes.

Fan Yongji had a glimmer of hope and asked, "There are still 5,000 soldiers and horses?"

"Even so, when facing the Red Phoenix Army, it was still not enough. After all, there are a total of 30,000 horses under the command of the other party, how can we fight against it?" Song Zizhen shook his head, directly breaking Fan Yongji's illusion: "What's more, the other party has an immortal powerhouse like Xiao Feng, how can we defeat the other party with our strength?"

Although Zhang Rou is still there, Zhang Rou already plans to withdraw to Dengzhou to temporarily avoid the encirclement and suppression of the two armies, and it can be said that Zhang Rou is categorically unable to count on it now!

"Yes!"

Fan Yongji's expression was lonely, showing a decadent color.

Not to mention the 30,000 long-trained brave soldiers, Xiao Feng alone can capture this Kaifeng Mansion in one fell swoop.

How can the two be resisted?

Song Zizhen shook her head and said, "Actually, it's not all like that!"

"Oh, do you have a good plan to protect this city?" Fan Yongji immediately jumped down from the mattress and looked at Song Zizhen with a wistful face.

Song Zizhen took a deep breath, and then replied: "With our strength, it is difficult to resist the offensive of the Red Phoenix Army. But if you look at the world, this Red Phoenix Army is far from being difficult to resist. For example, Meng Hui of the Southern Dynasty, the Shenwu Army under his command was extremely brave and would never be afraid of the offensive of the Red Phoenix Army. ”

"Meng Heng, he is the minister of the Southern Dynasty. Are you asking me to borrow troops from him?Is this possible?" Fan Yongji was shocked for a moment, and then looked at Song Zizhen with suspicion, wanting to see a hint from the other party's eyes.

"It's not a borrowed army!, it's a surrender!"

Song Zizhen paused, and when everyone was waiting with bated breath, the words in his mouth were like thunder, and they suddenly exploded in everyone's ears.

"What? surrender to the Song Dynasty?"

Whether it was Fan Yongji or Zhang Feng, they were all dumbfounded, looking at Song Zizhen with a demented look.

Song Zizhen sneered again and again in her heart, but she showed a helpless look on her face, and said: "After all, this is the only way to make that Meng Heng make a move." Meng Heng thought of the importance of this city, and he would definitely accept it gladly. At that time, the Red Phoenix Army planned to forcibly seize the city, but it was definitely difficult to succeed. ”

"However, Meng Hui is a minister of the Southern Dynasty. You actually asked me to surrender to the Southern Dynasty?" Fan Yongji was a little angry, and opened his mouth to reprimand angrily.

Song Zizhen sighed and replied: "But you should also know that although the Southern Dynasty has always discriminated against us, if we can surrender the city, then the other party will definitely have some hospitality, at least it will not lose the benefits of you and me." But that Chifeng Army-" paused, and only after arousing the curiosity of the two of them did he say again: "This person has been in trouble since Luzhou, and I don't know how many sins he has committed along the way. For us, it can be said that I hate it to the core, if this city is broken by then, do you think you and I can still talk and laugh here?"

At this moment, many scenes surfaced when Fan Yongji's mind was neutral.

The corpse hanging at the head of the city had already become his nightmare, and even every time he would wake up from his dream, he would quickly reply: "I understand, I'll do it!"
