Through Yitian: Mingzun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 640 The Danger of the Lonely City
After reading the memorial, Zhang Wuji shouted excitedly.

Zhang Wuji said: "Okay! Bianzhou City is back, our capital is back! Liu Futong said in the memorial that he would like to welcome the Holy Emperor to return the capital. It seems that we have to work harder."

Huo Jia said at this time: "This is great. I didn't expect the Yuan army to be so unwilling to fight. It seems that the Mongolian cavalry that swept the world in the past are not that powerful now."

Zhao Min shook his head and said: "That's not true. It's not that the Mongolian cavalry has become weaker, it's just that the Han people are too strong. We Mongols were able to conquer the Central Plains back then only because only half of the Song Dynasty was left, and Song and Jin were feuding. It’s impossible to resist together. Now that Brother Wuji has regained the hearts of the people, he can naturally defeat us. People say that we Mongolians are warlike, but I don’t think it is right. The most warlike people in the world are the Han people."

Zhang Wuji couldn't help but make Xinsheng curious when he heard this argument. He asked, "Oh? Why do you say that, Minmin?"

Zhao Min continued: "After Genghis Khan unified Mongolia, we Mongolians rarely fought with each other. Even if they did, they were not as large-scale and long-lasting as the wars of the Han people. Not to mention other eras, your Zhou Dynasty During the dynasty, various countries competed for supremacy. This war has not stopped for 700 years. Almost every generation has participated in the war. Compared with the Han people, we Mongolians are not warlike."

Zhang Wuji smiled when he heard the words: "If you put it like that, it's not bad. Okay! Let's not dwell on this issue anymore. In short, the recovery of the Central Plains is something worth celebrating. We also need to think about the next stage of the battle. ”

Zhao Min swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said: "You have two directions now. One is to go north to capture Qingxu, meet up with Marshal Liu and the others, and then fight my father in a decisive battle. But it is a decisive battle, but I think I Father and the others can no longer hold on. Then the three armies will join together and then attack most of the capital and completely end our Mongolian rule in the Central Plains."

"The second direction is to eliminate Zhu Yuanzhang who is very close at hand. Now Fang Guozhen died in the rebellion, and Chen Youding committed suicide and died in the city. Now that we have captured Suzhou, although we have embedded a nail in Zhu Yuanzhang's territory, the place is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it is easy to It is difficult to attack and defend. Zhu Yuanzhang has already taken over the entire Jiangdong, and now he is a veritable king of Wu. If we don't eradicate him before he becomes mature, he will definitely become a big problem for us in the future."

Zhang Wuji snorted and said: "Now it's time to beat Zhu Yuanzhang. But as a former Mingjiao comrade, I still want to talk to him. He has many capable ministers and famous generals. If he is willing to surrender, I can give him a prince with a different surname. Then I can ensure that he will be rich and noble in his time. This is good for everyone."

Zhou Zhiruo said at this time: "I don't think this possibility is very high. Although I have never met this Zhu Yuanzhang, when I went to Jinling as an envoy, I met his children and wife. From my contact with them, I It can be felt that Zhu Yuanzhang is an ambitious man. And although he is the King of Wu, when I talked with Brother Chang, he was also constrained by a "Huaixi faction" interest group. These people are mainly his sworn brothers , most of them are from Huaixi. These people are from humble backgrounds, and for their own benefit, they will not let Zhu Yuanzhang really surrender to us."

After thinking about it, Zhang Wuji said: "That's true. If Zhu Yuanzhang comes to surrender with courtesy, then he is the only one who can be canonized. And for the brothers who follow him to conquer the world, the highest achievement in the future will be to be named a prince. But if Following Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world, others don't know, but Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants of Huaixi started at least as dukes. If there is this entanglement, they will not allow the eldest brother to enjoy the blessing alone."

Zhao Min asked: "So, are you going to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang first?"

Zhang Wuji thought about it carefully and then said: "Now is the time. I have given Zhu Yuanzhang many opportunities, but he does not cherish them. If we try to destroy him now, Brother Xu and Brother Chang will not be able to say anything. We It can be regarded as a famous division. First, Zhu Yuanzhang refused to surrender and did not listen to Ming Zun's orders. This is one crime. Second, Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding had agreed to join Ming Zun, but he led troops to attack. These two crimes. There are two crimes. The second crime is enough to appease the people of the world."

Just as Zhang Wuji finished speaking, a voice outside the door said: "Don't bother to charge Zhu Yuanzhang with any more charges. Now he only has one charge, and that is rebellion!" Everyone followed the sound and saw Su Mengqing hurriedly Ran in.He held a bloody newspaper in his hand.

Su Mengqing handed the bloody Tang newspaper to Zhang Wuji.

Su Mengqing said: "This has just been sent. Zhu Yuanzhang has rebelled. He led an army of 20 to attack the port where we stopped our ships, cutting off our connection with Jiangbei. The envoys we sent to persuade Zhang Shicheng's old troops to surrender were also blocked. Now Zhu Yuanzhang's 20 troops have surrounded us in the city of Suzhou. This urgent Tang newspaper was sent back by the soldiers guarding the river at the risk of death."

Zhang Wuji's hands were trembling a little, and he asked: "What about the soldier who delivered the message? I will reward him heavily."

Su Mengqing shook his head at this time and said: "He is already dead. He worked hard to send this letter back. As soon as his horse ran to Suzhou City, he was exhausted and fell down due to excessive blood loss. Before he died, he He didn't say anything, just pointed to the Tang Bao in his arms. He was shot through the chest with an arrow. We found the Tang Bao full of blood in his arms."

Zhang Wuji sighed at this time and said: "This is all my fault! I didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang, a beggar monk, would really dare to rebel."

Zhao Min said: "Okay! Now is not the time to regret. We have to think carefully about how to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang's siege. We don't have many troops at the moment. Before we divided our troops south, we brought less than [-] troops. Although we attack We killed Zhang Shicheng and recruited some troops, but now that we are surrounded, the loyalty of these surrendered generals is also a problem. These people cannot be used directly. And we must prevent them from taking the opportunity to rebel and cause trouble. Now it is really a dangerous situation."

Huo Jia said at this time: "What are you afraid of in a crisis? With our martial arts, if we want to leave, who can stop us?"

The woman in yellow shirt said: "That being said, other people in this city cannot escape."

Zhao Min said: "Either we fight to the death, hold on to the city and constantly send people to Zhao Pusheng and Zhang Dingbian for help. Or we lead an army to fight out. Or we escape alone, and then give Suzhou City to Zhu Yuanzhang and let our subordinates The soldiers and horses surrendered to him. But now that Suzhou City has become an isolated city, I don’t think it is a good idea to defend this place.”

At this time, everyone looked at Zhang Wuji, planning to let Zhang Wuji, the emperor, come up with some decent ideas.
