After all, Tu Dan Hexi was born into a Jurchen noble family, grew up riding horses, and fought on the battlefield for many years, so his kung fu was naturally not weak.
Zhang Zhongyan was born into a noble family in the northwest. His father and ancestors were all military generals. He himself also practiced martial arts since he was a child. He fought against his disciple Dan Hexi, and the victory was indistinguishable.
However, just as the fight between the two was getting fierce, Tu Dan Hexi suddenly started to escape on horseback. When Zhang Zhongyan saw this, he chased after him without hesitation.
After Zhang Zhongyan chased for a while, he realized something was wrong and immediately stopped. When he wanted to retreat, he was suddenly stopped by Tu Dan Hexi who turned around with a carbine.
"how?"
"General Zhang is afraid?"
Tu Dan Hexi showed a face full of ridicule.
"What is this general afraid of?"
"It's just that your apprentice general is afraid!"
"Otherwise, why would you have escaped just now?"
Zhang Zhongyan responded with accusations.
"Yeah?"
"I was just tired and wanted to rest for a while!"
"Come on, let's continue fighting!"
Tu Dan Hexi wielded his sword again.
"If you want to fight, you should go back to where you were and fight again!"
"How can I perform well here?"
Zhang Zhongyan had chased Tudan Hexi so far, so of course he was worried about being deceived and wanted to go back in a hurry.
“I think it’s quite nice here!”
"But General Zhang, think about it!"
"Since you are a Han Chinese, why are you willing to be loyal to our Jin Emperor Wan Yanyong?"
"How about changing the family and being loyal to our Ming Dynasty?"
"Our Ming sage attaches great importance to talents like you, General Zhang!"
Tu Dan Hexi began to persuade Zhang Zhongyan.
"What Ming Dynasty?"
"He's just a traitor from the Song Dynasty!"
"The Kingdom of Jin has shown great kindness to me, Zhang Zhongyan, and I, Zhang Zhongyan, should swear to serve the Kingdom of Jin to the death!"
"As for your Tu Dan Hexi, as a general of the Kingdom of Jin, you betrayed the Kingdom of Jin, but you were willing to work for a traitor from the Song Dynasty. It is really the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
At this time, Zhang Zhongyan ridiculed Tu Dan Hexi.
"Ha ha!"
"The general trend of the world is dominated by those who are capable. Today's Great Ming Sage is a king with both literary talent and military virtue, and he has to pass on the national jade seal to take the right position. Sooner or later, he will conform to the people's sentiments and unify the world!"
"Your allegiance was to the late Emperor Wanyan Liang. Now that Wanyanyong has usurped the throne, instead of attacking Wanyanyong, you immediately raised your flag and defected to Wanyanyong. How do you have the right to accuse our Great Ming Sage? "
"And you were alone in Tongguan to resist our hundreds of thousands of troops. Did Wanyan Yong, the man you were loyal to, ever extend a helping hand to you?"
"Isn't it true that distant water cannot save a nearby fire?"
"Do you know how Meng Jinguan was defeated by our Holy Master?"
"Let me tell you, our sages have sent people to bring in a large number of firearms. They have not used firearms against you in Tongguan. It is really because our sages care about your soldiers guarding Tongguan. Most of them are Han people. Your sages cannot bear to use firearms. Attack our compatriots, otherwise your Tongguan would have been blown to pieces by our commander's firearms!"
Tu Dan Hexi continued to persuade.
"Stop scaring me with firearms!"
"This general has never seen what a firearm is, so you can't drink from me!"
As Zhang Zhongyan spoke, he actually felt a little timid.
After all, Zhang Zhongyan had already heard about the power of Song Dynasty's firearms, and even knew that the extremely strong Mengjing Pass was actually blown up by firearms.
"Since General Zhang doesn't believe it, then I'll have someone show it to the general!"
"Come here, show the firearm to General Zhang!"
At this time, a chariot came out immediately, with a cart full of stones piled on the chariot.
Following Tu Dan Hexi's order, several soldiers immediately threw a few stones into the woods ahead.
With a loud noise, all the towering trees in the forest ahead rose from the ground, and the entire forest burst into flames.
"How about it?"
"General Zhang, what do you think of this firearm?"
Tu Dan Hexi proudly asked Zhang Zhongyan, who was already frightened.
"This...could this be the rumored firearm!"
"It's really great!"
"Amazing!"
Zhang Zhong even gave a thumbs up after seeing the scene in front of him.
"Ha ha!"
"In this case, General Zhang, you should go back and think about it carefully!"
"Otherwise, in three days, we will have no choice but to use this firearm to destroy Tongguan, and then go to Guanzhong to bomb it!"
Tu Dan Hexi now felt confident.
"Prince Qin, why don't you let me capture Zhang Zhongyan directly? Why go through all the trouble to persuade him to surrender?"
"And we only have one cartload of firearms left, so we can't let it go to waste like this!"
After Zhang Zhongyan left on horseback, Yue Lin came over with others.
"King Han, you don't understand!"
"This Zhongyan is a tough one. Otherwise, when the Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty negotiated peace twenty years ago, the Jin Kingdom would not have asked Song Ting to take it back by name!"
"But this person is quite aware of current affairs. I believe he will be frightened after seeing the power of our firearms!"
"It seems that there is hope for it to surrender voluntarily. Let's just wait and see what happens!"
Tu Dan Hexi touched his long beard, but still had a confident smile.
Tongguan garrison camp.
"General Zhang!"
"You chased me before. Did the anti-thief Shan Hexi hurt you?"
"yes!"
"Then Tu Dan Hexi didn't do any tricks, did he?"
"General Zhang, are you okay?"
When the generals saw Zhang Zhongyan's serious expression after returning to camp, they all became concerned.
"General, I'm fine!"
"After all, Tu Dan Hexi has been my colleague for many years, so he won't plot against me!"
"What I'm most worried about now is that we can't hold on to our Tongguan designation, and I'm afraid we will all become prisoners in the hands of Xu Xian in the future!"
Seeing that his subordinates kept asking questions, Zhang Zhongyan finally couldn't help but speak.
"Why did General Zhang say this?"
"yes!"
"What happened?"
"what happened?"
A group of generals began to ask questions again.
"You don't know!"
"Those Ming troops now have a large number of firearms in their hands!"
"They didn't attack us immediately because they were Han Chinese like us!"
"And they also gave us three days. If we don't surrender within three days, they will turn our Tongguan into the Mengjin Pass of the past!"
Zhang Zhongyan explained to the generals.
"this……?"
"Originally we didn't want you, General, to take refuge with Wanyan Yong. Now that Xu Xian has sent people to Tongguan to attack us, Wanyan Yong is indifferent and doesn't care about our life or death at all!"
"What is the use of surrendering to such a ruthless Tatar emperor?"
"yes!"
"We are Han people to begin with, why should we always seek refuge with the Tatar emperor?"
"In contrast, Xu Xian is a Han after all, and he founded the Ming Dynasty of the Han people. We might as well surrender to the Ming Dynasty!"
"right!"
"We'll settle it now!"
"We were unwilling to defect to the Song Dynasty and follow the Jin people because the Song Dynasty was weak and incompetent. We only wanted to enjoy ourselves and did not want to restore the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains!"
"Now the Ming Dynasty established by Xu Xian is under the banner of recovering the Central Plains and fighting against the Jin Dynasty, and it does not collude with the Song Dynasty!"
"Anyway, we won't have a future following the Tatar emperor, and the Tatar army looks down on us Han people. Why don't we give it a try with Xu Xian?"
"Maybe in the future there will be hope of expelling the Tatars and restoring the Central Plains, and we, the Han people, will be able to die in peace!"
All the generals began to persuade Zhang Zhongyan.
