Chapter 163 Target Xiangyang

"Go deep into the Song Realm and establish a base area?"

Zhang Shun opened his mouth wide and his eyes were blank, completely unclear about the meaning of these words.

Zhang Gui was also puzzled in his heart and asked, "Staff Officer Zheng, I don't know if you can let me ask, what is the purpose of letting us do this kind of thing?"

For the Song Dynasty, the two of them really didn't want to think about it, let alone go back. Now, Zheng Shipang asked them to go back, this is really incomprehensible, I don't know why, so Zhang Gui asked.

"Absolutely. ”

Zheng Shipang nodded, and then explained: "Presumably both of you know that the Yuan army attacked Xiangyang not long ago. Right. The two Zhang brothers nodded together, the formation of the Yuan army is not small, and the two of them have fought with each other several times when they served in the Junzhou Water Army.

"You can also see that Lu Wende actually retreated against the Yuan army, and it was even more difficult to confront the Yuan army with only Xiangyang City. Isn't it?" Zheng Shipang said again.

Zhang Shun nodded approvingly and said, "That's right." He was still called Chongguo Gong, but he didn't expect to be so miscreet when facing the Yuan army? ”

"Otherwise, why would the two of us defect to you? I don't know if it's because Lu Wende is unreliable?" Zhang Gui added.

It can be seen that the two are full of resentment towards Lu Wende.

Zheng Shipang saw it in his eyes, and his face also showed confidence, and then said, "That's right." This time Xiangyang may have escaped his life, but what if the Yuan army attacks next? Don't forget, Lu Wende is now a leader, how can Lu Wenhuan alone resist the Yuan army?"

"This ......"

The two fell silent, apparently unexpected.

"Then you can't make a move, if it were you, you would definitely be able to defeat the Yuan army. ”

Zhang Gui raised his head suddenly, and looked at Zheng Shipang with expectant eyes, no matter how he said that Xiangyang was also his hometown, the two of them really didn't want to let Xiangyang fall under the hooves of the Yuan army.

Zheng Shipang shook his head and said distressedly: "I'm afraid it's difficult." Don't forget, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were very jealous of my Huaxia, let alone an invitation, and it was already good not to send troops to attack. Moreover, my father-in-law even said that the Huaxia Army is the army that guards Huaxia, and it will never be taken advantage of by outsiders. ”

He was also quite critical of this, but this was agreed by Xiao Feng personally, and as subordinates, it was naturally inconvenient for them to object.

"So you can't make a move?"

Zhang Shun was a little disappointed, feeling that this was different from when he joined the Huaxia Army.

Kang Shu nodded and said, "That's right. If Lu Wenhuan, who is stationed in Xiangyang, invites us, it is impossible for us to get out. ”

On this point, both he and everyone in the staff department knew very well that unless it was an emergency, the Eastern Army would not be able to leave the customs, in order to avoid provoking the criticism of the ministers of Lin'an.

"If that's the case, then what's the point of the two of us joining this Huaxia Army?" Zhang Shun began to complain.

Zhang Gui also said: "That's right. Could it be that we are wasting time in the past six months?"

"This, can you ask, why did you two join the Huaxia Army?" Kang Lu interjected and asked.

Zhang Shun replied as a matter of course: "Of course, it's for the sake of fighting Tartars." After all, Lu Wenhuan can't count on it, so I hope you can make a move. Who knew you wouldn't be able to make a move? ”

"I'm sorry!"

Kang Lu bowed down and expressed his apologies.

On this point, he is just a defensive envoy, and there is really no room for interference.

Zheng Shipang was secretly happy in his heart, just because the performance of the two of them was really unexpected, and even saved him a bit of speech, so he said: "Actually, there is no need to be so nervous, after all, we can't make a move, but it doesn't mean that the two of you can't make a move!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Shun's eyes were confused, and after blinking, he remembered what Zheng Shipang said at the beginning, and then asked, "You mean, let's go?"

Zhang Gui also realized and asked, "That's why you brought the two of us here, just because you want us to do this?"

"That's right. ”

Zheng Shipang nodded, seeing that the eyes of the two were full of hesitation, and said, "Of course, as a support for you, we will also support you for a batch of arms to ensure that you can gain a firm foothold in Xiangyang." If necessary, you can also send us a letter to help you complete the task. ”

"So that's it?"

Zhang Shun felt that he understood something, and asked again: "But why did you want the two of us to go to Xiangyang? ”

There is no cheap thing in the world, Zhang Shun understands this, not to mention the relationship between Huaxia Jun and Song Jun, it is impossible to be so caring, and he will take the initiative to help, and there is no remuneration.

"Of course not. I think you also know that if Xiangyang falls into the hands of the Yuan army, it will be a problem for us. ”

Zheng Shipang explained: "It is precisely because of this that I hope you can join the Black Carbon Army and help us take Xiangyang." Only by controlling Xiangyang in our hands can we ensure the safety of the people. Isn't it?"

"I see. So the reason why you want us to go deep into the Song Realm and join the Black Carbon Army is that you hope that the two of us can help you control Xiangyang, right?" Zhang Shun asked, and Zhang Gui beside him also stared at Zheng Shipang, wanting to see the purpose of this person.

"That's right. That's it. ”

Zheng Shipang didn't mind his purpose being seen through, in fact, if the other party couldn't understand this, he would be worried.

"And I just want to ask you one thing now, would you like to accept this task?"

Zhang Shun became nervous, he pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes turned to look at his brother Zhang Gui, as if to ask his opinion, Zhang Gui lowered his head slightly, which was regarded as expressing his opinion.

After seeing Zhang Gui's agreement, Zhang Shun opened his mouth and said, "I am willing!" As soon as these words came out, Zhang Shun couldn't help but feel comfortable and knew what he should do.

Zheng Shipang looked excited and said with a smile: "Very good." It's just that you also know that the Yuan army is extremely brave, and it is not an ordinary person who can fight against it. If you have any needs, just do it with me, as long as it can be met, I can help you complete it. ”

No matter how powerful Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui are, they are just ordinary people after all, how can they face the surging Yuan army?

Therefore, Zheng Shipang planned to hand over the captured weapons of the Yuan army to the two, and if they wanted, they could also be equipped with one or two staff officers, so that the two of them could give advice.

And all of this is to ensure the safety of the mission after that.

Zhang Shun took a deep breath, and then said, "If you can, I wonder if you can prepare three hundred guns for me?"

"Only three hundred?" Zheng Shipang didn't care, the consumption of the Eastern Group Army in a year was more than this, and when he fought with the Yuan army before, he also captured a lot of weapons from the Yuan army.

These weapons can all be handed over to Zhang Shun and others.

Zhang Shun replied: "Of course it's more than that. It's just that I'm still alone now, and there's no need to have so many weapons. If the army expands in the future, it may need your help. ”

"Good. I'll equip you with the weapons you want soon, but when are you going to go?" Zheng Shipang asked.

Zhang Shun said: "Of course, the sooner the better. After all, the Yuan army hasn't withdrawn yet, so maybe it will send troops when. ”
