Gongsun Xiaochen continued: "The troops stationed at the Gunpowder Prison and the guards used throwing bombs and muskets to defeat this group of men in black. Fortunately, the Gunpowder Prison itself suffered no losses. Our army suffered more than 400 casualties. . Killed more than 300 men in black. General Zhang Gui, who went to support, was seriously injured."
"Man in black. Gunpowder Supervisor. Zhang Gui." I quickly opened the emergency report and read it.
After reading it, I snorted and handed the urgent report to Yuan Ji. He said: "The Queen Mother's analysis should be correct. This must have been ordered by the Mongols. However, this large number of men in black belong to What organization? Tiandao League?" After saying that, I glanced at Fang Ling subconsciously and then thought, Fang Ling lost all his memory. Naturally, he couldn't remember anything about the Tiandao League.
Yuan Ji received the emergency report, read it carefully and said: "The boss has gone into seclusion. His alliance has also been disbanded. There are many masters among these men in black. The ordinary members are all Han Chinese. It should not be a large number of Mongolians crossing the border. What he did. But ordinary martial arts sects don’t have such strength. Could it be. Could it be the remnants of the Tiandao Alliance."
"After more than a hundred years, do the descendants of the Fang family still want to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors?"
"Your Majesty, it's hard to say. After all, the boss has already lost control of the Tiandao Alliance."
"I also understand this. Although Fang Chenyi did not say it clearly, it is the fact. Otherwise, he would not have created another alliance. Xiao Chen, reply to the Queen Mother. This matter will be left to the Queen Mother and Xiao Qi to investigate. In addition, General Zhang’s life must be saved no matter what.”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The general will draft it immediately."
I asked Zhang Gui to stay in Lin'an. The purpose was to change history. I didn't want the scene of Zhang Gui's heroic sacrifice to be repeated. Unexpectedly, Zhang Gui who stayed in Lin'an was still hit hard.
"Jiang Aiqing. Send someone to General Zhang Shun immediately and order him to return to the Guanzitan camp."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Of course Jiang Wanzai didn't know my intention. Maybe I would rest assured if Zhang Shun stayed with me.
The shelling in the early morning of the next day almost destroyed all the earthen walls on the front of Lumen Mountain. Although Kublai Khan and Yin Tianya, who were hiding in the bunker behind, remained calm on the surface, they were not much different from A Shu and others in their hearts. Then That is, the power of the artillery is indeed irresistible.
At noon, Kublai Khan and I each led a hundred men and arrived at Qingyanggang on time. The two armies stopped moving forward in unison at a distance of five or sixty meters.
I was riding on the royal horse "Feiyan" and was at the forefront of the team. Next to me, Yuan Jie was holding a spear and following closely. This was the first time I saw Yuan Jie carrying a weapon on the battlefield. He was directly opposite. A man wearing a golden helmet and armor, accompanied by Yin Tianya, also stepped forward slightly.
Kublai Khan. Great Khan of Mongolia. Emperor of Yuan Dynasty.
Although he was more than fifty meters away and his vision was a little blurry, he could basically see clearly. The multi-faceted Kublai Khan was in his fifties. Perennial battles and the wind and sand in the desert made him look older than his actual age. His face was full of vicissitudes of life. But it can't hide the aloof imperial demeanor. Looking from a distance, it makes people feel majestic and majestic.
I could feel that Kublai Khan's eyes were piercing, and the coldness was overwhelming. However, I did not show any weakness. I looked straight at each other. The two looked at each other for tens of seconds before hearing Kublai Khan's loud voice. He said: "The person opposite is Zhao Yu, the emperor of the Song Dynasty."
"Yes. I am the current emperor of the Song Dynasty. Your Excellency is Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia."
Since the Han Dynasty, the word "Your Excellency" has been used as an honorific title for people with special status. It is used to address certain prominent, noble and status people. It is similar to the titles of "Your Majesty" and "His Royal Highness". However, it is more respectful than "Your Majesty" when addressing the king.
, Your Highness is inferior. I am the emperor. Naturally, I do not admit that there is another emperor in the world. Therefore, I use the term "Your Excellency".
"Okay." Kublai Khan said with a big smile. "You can stand under my direct gaze without any confusion in your eyes. Not bad. You are qualified to be my opponent."
I smiled calmly and said, "Kublai Khan, why did you ask me to meet you today?"
Kublai Khan said without hesitation: "There is only one purpose. I want to meet people in the world who can be called twin shining stars with me."
"Kublai Khan. On the day I ascended the throne, the Emperor's star suddenly flashed brightly. This shows that I was ordered by heaven to restore the territory of our Song Dynasty and revive the glory of China. Since you can too
Once you have a glimpse of God’s will, you should respect God’s will and follow the trend.”
"Zhao Yu, then tell me what I should do. It's called following the trend."
"Kublai Khan, there are two ways to go. One is to retreat to the original land of your Mongolian people. The other is to surrender to me and build our Great China Dynasty together."
"Zhao Yu. The second path you mentioned is exactly my choice. To build the Greater China together. It's just that you should surrender to me. I am the Khan and the emperor. It is God's will. It is me.
Only the imperial star of the dynasty will last forever and shine brighter and brighter.
Liang. In today's world, I have occupied all of the north and most of the west. The territory is far larger than that of your Song Dynasty. The north is the place where the dragon spirit originated. Even the tomb of Xuanyuan Huangdi, the ancestor of your Han people, is no longer within our territory.
?”
"Double stars are shining. This is just a temporary phenomenon. Judging from the development trend, my fortune as an emperor star has gone up and down several times. It has slipped from the top to the bottom. After I ascended the throne, it has returned to the peak. But your fortune as an emperor star is
No progress at all. As the saying goes, if you don’t advance, you will retreat. This is the end. Haha. It’s self-evident. As for the size of the current area you said, it doesn’t mean anything. Kublai Khan, don’t you think so?”
"Zhao Yu, your eloquence is really good. It's a pity that the way to govern a country cannot be based on just one mouth."
I laughed and said, "Kublai Khan, this is correct. The way to govern a country has been established throughout history. The so-called prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the people should lead to long-term peace and stability. Everyone knows this truth. Then why does every dynasty have its ups and downs?
."
"This is not simple. It is a blessing to have a wise king in this world."
"What if Mingjun makes a mistake?" I asked myself and answered. "As long as we are human, we will make mistakes. Even if I am revered as a god, I will inevitably make mistakes. How can I avoid this?"
Kublai Khan asked in reply: "Zhao Yu, that depends on your opinion."
"Kublai Khan, I believe that in addition to what the ancients said, the way to govern a country also needs a complete supervision mechanism. The purpose of this mechanism is to restrict the rights of the king. Today, time is limited. I will not agree with you either.
Please explain more. I have heard for a long time that you are well versed in our Han culture. I will recite an ancient poem. By the way, I would like to ask the Mongolian Khan to comment on it."
"I am all ears."
"Okay. I will recite the bottom line of this poem." I said loudly. "The country is so beautiful. It has attracted countless heroes to bow down. I cherish the Qin Emperor. He is slightly less talented in literature; Tang Zong and Han Wu are slightly less charming. A generation of genius.
Genghis Khan only knew how to bend his bow and shoot at giant eagles. He is gone now. He has many famous people. It depends on the present day."
As a person from the Song Dynasty, I cannot belittle the name of Song Zu, so I have made some slight modifications.
This Banque poem is the work of a great man from later generations. Its majestic momentum is enough to shock the past and the present.
Kublai Khan had a very good memory. He remembered everything after one repetition. After repeating it silently in his mind, he suddenly nodded and laughed loudly and said: "Okay. What a good 'Look at the present day'. This poem is the one I know." Among his poems, he is the most courageous and powerful. Only an emperor can write it. Zhao Fu. If you and I were not the emperors of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, I would talk to you over wine just based on these half-que poems."
I said: "I believe it."
I have a deeper understanding of the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty than others. I even have a strong sense of resonance. Naturally, you can see my mind, aspirations and ambitions from the poems I copied from Banque.
"Unless this person is eliminated, my Yuan Dynasty will never have peace." Kublai Khan thought to himself. His eyes glowed again. He reached out and touched the eagle bow on his horse. An invisible murderous aura quietly spread as he followed. When Yin Tianya, Ah Shu and others saw Kublai Khan's action, they also put their hands on the sword.
At this moment, the war horse under me suddenly let out a long roar. Then it raised its front legs and jumped up high.
The neighing of the war horse made Kublai Khan calm down.
"Although I have the Condor Bow in my hand, my skill cannot reach the level of Genghis Khan after all. The power of the divine bow can only be exerted by 10% or 20%. Zhao Yu on the opposite side is no problem, but he will definitely fight for Yuan Ji. Once he misses, he will be ridiculed by the heroes of the world. Moreover, many of the guards around Zhao Fu hold grenades in their hands. The range of the grenades should be within a few dozen steps." At this point, Kublai Khan thought His hand involuntarily left the bow and he said loudly: "Zhao Yu, see you later." After saying that, he pulled the reins and turned around to return.
As an opponent, I also want to kill Kublai Khan. Unlike Kublai Khan, I don't have to worry about reputation. But my pistol has a limited range. The effective range can only reach more than 20 meters at most. For Kublai Khan, who is more than fifty meters away, has no effect at all. Although this distance is not a problem for a group of guards to throw the projectile, it still takes several breaths from pulling the rope to throwing the projectile. Time. These short few breaths are enough for the Mongols to evacuate.
"Withdraw." I ordered as I watched the Mongolians turn around and leave.
On the way back, a group of a hundred of us met up with Jiang Cai's troops ten miles away and headed slowly towards the Guanzitan camp.
Ten miles north of Qingyanggang, there is also a Mongolian cavalry army with a number of about 1,500 people. This cavalry army is a large Chinese army brought by Kublai Khan. It is the most elite unit of Qixue army. The total number of the Dazhong Army in the Yuan Dynasty was less than 3,000. The ordinary Qixue army included Mongols, Semu people from the Western Regions and a small number of Han people. However, the Dazhong Army only had people from the Mongolian ethnic group.
After returning to the camp, Yuan Ji said: "Your Majesty, Kublai Khan and Yin Tianya just seemed to have murderous intentions. Fortunately, Feiyan warned him."
"It turns out that the reason why Feiyan neighs is because he senses danger."
