Chapter 18: Ambition

For a while, everyone fell silent.

After a long time, someone asked, "What if we don't accept it?"

Then they will use this as an excuse to interrogate me and others. How should we face the Song people when the time comes?" Thinking of this, Chang Jun's brows were all locked, and it was obvious that he still had doubts about this matter.

When Chang Jun said this, the staff officers present flickered in their eyes, revealing a little annoyance.

Within the Red Feng Army, most of them are mainly northerners, because of the usual things, they have always had a lot of distrust of the Song people, and there are not a few of them who are hostile!

"So what? When the time comes, our soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it. No matter what means he uses, we won't admit it or ignore it!" Duan Feng snorted lightly, swept over everyone present, and then said aloud: "Everyone said, right!"

As soon as he was encouraged by his words, many of the staff officers present felt their hearts surging and their blood was surging, and they immediately talked loudly and broadly, revealing all the thoughts and thoughts hidden in their hearts.

"That's right, no matter what, we are brothers in the sword and in the fire. And how can those southerners be shaken?"

"And just like those southerners. I'm afraid that as soon as Mongolia comes, they themselves will be scared to pee first. I'm afraid that they will beg us when the time comes!"

"It's just that I can't understand this group of mischievous people who can't even be defeated by the Han Army, what are we afraid of. ”

“......”

Hearing these words, Xiao Yue also felt very excited, looked at Xiao Feng with anticipation in her black eyes, and asked, "Please also ask the lord to make a decision on whether to unite with the Southern Dynasties." ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the corners of Xiao Feng's mouth squirmed.

These days, she has been thinking about these things, about the pros and cons of uniting with the Song Dynasty, if the alliance with the Southern Song Dynasty can get a respite, but it will bury hidden dangers for the future, if it refuses to unite with the Southern Song Dynasty, it will be difficult for the Red Phoenix Army to fight the Mongolian army independently, and it may not be impossible to repeat the incident in Luzhou at that time.

Xiao Feng thought about it, and saw everyone's expectant expressions, so he said: "It's okay to unite with the Song Dynasty." But if there is a conflict between our army and the other side, how should we act at that time?"

"That's right. Joining the Song Dynasty, we will naturally be able to get a lot of support from the Song Dynasty, such as salt, cloth, and all kinds of ironware, porcelain, and so on. And that's what we're lacking right now. Yan Shen immediately stepped forward, his sharp eyes swept over everyone, and his subdued voice sounded in everyone's ears, reminding everyone present: "Although this is the case, I want to remind you." If the order of the Privy Council of the Southern Dynasty is contrary to the order issued by the General Staff of our Red Phoenix Army, whose order should we follow at that time?"

"When the time comes, if we disobey the order, I'm afraid that the other party will not give up, and cutting off water and food is just a trivial matter. What's more, they may order the army to attack us directly. It's not like they've never done this kind of thing. Chang Jun's words, which always remained calm, rang in everyone's ears.

Cheng Feng sighed slightly, and concluded: "But if you don't unite with the Southern Dynasties, I'm afraid that the other party will secretly collude with Mongolia and destroy us." Don't forget, how did the Jin Dynasty fall in the first place?" "After these times, he has also matured a lot, and knows that many things are not just good or bad to comment on, and many things have two sides.

And how to balance the forces in this is to test the ability of a staff officer.

"So I'd like to ask you. Have you all thought about it?" At the end, Xiao Feng stared at everyone present and finally asked the last word.

The previous refusal of the Song Dynasty's reward was because of these concerns, and now it wants to unite with the Song Dynasty because of the Mongol threat.

The lesser of two powers, now is the time to make a decision!

As soon as she said this, everyone felt that the atmosphere of the entire staff was condensed, like a stove, which made people nervous, so that some sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Although the decision had been made earlier, when it came time to really make a decision, they all felt extremely heavy, their lips were pursed hesitantly, and a pair of eyes did not settle down, so they moved around, looking at the person opposite, as if they wanted to ask for someone else's answer.

But the air was heavy, and everyone felt unbearable at this moment.

It's just that in the end, decisions are still needed!

"Have you all figured it out?"

Another question, Xiao Feng's words broke the silence of the audience, and also made the people in front of him wake up.

They turned sideways and looked at the woman in front of them, their red clothes and always confident faces, which were also the reason why they followed.

"How to deal with the Song Dynasty, I'm afraid that the lord has already thought about it, so what do we have to worry about?"

Such words sounded in their minds for a while, and everyone bowed down together, solemnly said to Xiao Feng, and said, "Tell the lord, we all know." ”

"Then tell me, your decision?" Xiao Feng took a deep breath and asked again.

Everyone replied in unison: "Conclude an alliance with the Song Dynasty to fight against the Mongols!"

"Well, that's still half a year before the Mongols attack. In the past six months, you have stepped up training soldiers and prepared various coping strategies. As for the Song Dynasty?" After a pause, Xiao Feng took a deep breath and said, "I will naturally deal with it so that they won't embarrass us." ”

All the staff officers said in unison: "Then we will congratulate the lord once again on his success." ”

Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, since she was angry with the sergeant of the army because of the Song Dynasty's reward, she was afraid that the Red Phoenix Army would have conflicts with the Song Dynasty because of this, and even all kinds of grievances would arise because of this, which would lead to a conflict between the Red Phoenix Army and the Song Dynasty.

The matter here is over, Xiao Feng thought that there were still things in the political hall that had not been resolved, so he took Xiao Yue back again.

Because the road is still short, and there is nothing to do at present, the two of them have no intention of using the light and light work, so they walked on the forest path and walked towards the political hall.

The green trees are shady, the flowing water is murmuring, and the branches that are intertwined with each other are blooming with small yellow or white flowers, and the spring breeze brings a burst of coolness, and the fragrance of blooming in the flower garden is brought to people, so that people feel very pleasant to smell.

Being here, Xiao Feng felt physically and mentally comfortable, and he was able to unload the burden on his shoulders a little and steal half a moment of leisure.

It's just that along the way, Xiao Yue seems to be covered with a layer of haze, which makes people feel a little gloomy when they look at it.

"Are you still angry?" Seeing that there was no one, Xiao Feng dared to reach out and grab Xiao Yuehao's wrist, and asked with a chuckle.

Xiao Yue suddenly became nervous, and staggered Xiao Feng's hand with a flick of her hand, the lotus feet under her feet were slightly staggered, and she defended herself in her mouth: "I didn't!"

"Look. Tears are flowing down angrily!Do you still say no?" Xiao Feng's figure flickered, but it was in front of Xiao Yue, and the jade finger swept lightly from the corner of Xiao Yue's eyes, but it was a teardrop, and the teardrop reflected Xiao Yue's slightly lost look, showing her pale face.

Xiao Yueden was stunned, her eyes had lost color, she couldn't help but hang her head, and her shoulders shook, obviously extremely sad.

Xiao Feng's heart softened, he walked up and handed his shoulder, wrapped his hands around Xiao Yue's slender jade waist, and comforted: "Alas, you, just like your sister, always like to hide things in your heart and not say anything. But do you really think I can't see it?" Seeing that there happened to be a pavilion in the distance, he took Xiao Yue to the pavilion and sat down, and asked: "And we are sisters, if you have any questions, you can tell me, you don't need to hide it in your heart!"

"I got my sister. ”

Feeling the warm body up close, Xiao Yue suddenly felt her cheeks crimson, and quickly sat up and tidied up her clothes.

It's a place where people come and go, and it wouldn't be nice if people could see it!

Xiao Feng stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Isn't this good? If you keep crying, your eyes will be red and swollen, and it won't look good at that time." ”

Being made by this, Xiao Yue was embarrassed for a while, felt that her body was stiff, looked around in a panic, and complained, "Sister." It's still outside, you're the commander of the Red Phoenix Army, and you still need to pay attention to your identity. ”

"Okay, okay, I know. Xiao Feng put away his smiling face and sat up, and then his face was sad with a hint of sadness: "Are you crying because of your father?"

"Well, my father was martyred with the collapse of Xingyuan Mansion because of the poor support of the Southern Dynasty, otherwise he would have been martyred with the fall of Xingyuan Mansion?" Xiao Yuemeiyu couldn't help but burst out of a breath of anger, and her words also contained anger.

"Oh, that's what happened. But if you think about it, there were also people such as Jia She, Yu Wenwei, Zhao Kui, Meng Hui and others in the Southern Dynasties. They're good to us too. Xiao Feng sighed slightly, and then comforted.

Xiao Yue said, "But sister." If it weren't for those mediocre people in the Southern Dynasty attacking and squeezing out, such as Jia She, Yu Wenwei, and other handsome people, how could they be reduced to the rivers and lakes, and even the bones were buried in the wilderness?"

"Huh?"

Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, and his heart was moved by Xiao Yue's words, but his mind was flexible, and he said: "Your statement is not unreasonable. But if you think about it from another angle, if we can absorb the loyal righteous soldiers in the Song Dynasty, then we can greatly strengthen our Red Phoenix Army. When the time comes, the strength and weakness will be reversed, and the offense and defense will be mutually exchanged. How can the Song Dynasty still be able to fight with us? If we can seize the opportunity, just like the great plan set by Mr. Wolong at the beginning, it is also possible to swallow the Song Dynasty in the south and destroy Mongolia in the north. Exhaling a breath of turbidity, he continued: "And now I am weak for the time being, so I can only wait for the time being. So now, I can only wronged you. ”

"Really?"

It was only at this time that Xiao Yue's eyes lit up, and she looked at Xiao Feng with anticipation.

Xiao Feng closed his head again and again, and said with a smile: "Of course it's true." After all, my ideal has always been to expel the Tatars and rebuild China. But the Song Dynasty has long been decayed and forgotten its ancient ideals. Since they don't want to carry the weight, let me do it. Speaking of this section, she felt even more proud in her chest, and said firmly!"This world is destined to change because of me. ”
