Chapter 46: Rebel Generals Persuading Surrender (2)

After saying that, he walked straight to the bedroom without waiting for Zhang Shijie to speak.

The ministers standing by the cliff and the nobles slowly dispersed when they saw Zhao Dongting leave.

Zhang Shijie summoned the commanders of various troops and asked them to order the soldiers to rest and then go back to sleep.

After two days, the atmosphere on the island of Benzhou was no longer so serious. Seeing the Yuan army slow down, the soldiers were already accustomed to the vast formation of the Yuan army.

Some veterans knew that they might not be able to survive after this battle, and they were even more happy.

Zhao Dongting didn't care. As long as these soldiers did not violate military rules, they would let them be happy.

When it was ugly this day, Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng sat opposite each other on the handsome ship again. However, there were many generals wearing armor standing in front of them.

The sky was thickly dark, and even if they were not far from the shore of Benzhou Island, they couldn't see Benzhou Island.

Li Heng asked, "Brother Hongfan, are you planning to attack?"

From the past two days, Zhang Hongfan always asked the soldiers to rest better, and he could see that Zhang Hongfan would not delay for too long. He carried them directly from Fuzhou to Leizhou, and the food and grass were not abundant, and there was no enough capital to spend too long.

"Um."

Zhang Hongfan gently put down his wine glass, opened his eyes slightly, and shouted: "All the generals obey the order!"

He thought that the Song Dynasty army must have been exhausted at this time.

The Yuan Dynasty generals standing in front of them knelt down on one knee and replied in unison: "The last general is here!"

Among these generals were Mongolian generals and foreign generals, but more were surrendered generals of the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng deliberately led these surrenders to the future because they were familiar with the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty.

With his eyes swept across the faces of the surrendered generals, Zhang Hongfan said: "Which general is willing to persuade the young emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty?"

The surrendered generals of the Southern Song Dynasty saw his eyes just now and knew that this errand must have fallen on their heads. However, this is indeed a good opportunity to gain military industry.

Four surrendered generals immediately bowed and said, "The last general asks for his order!"

Zhang Hongfan nodded slightly, and finally his eyes were placed on a burly general and said, "General Fan, you will go this trip!"

This burly general was named Fan Wenhu. Before surrendering to the Yuan Dynasty, he was the deputy commander of the Southern Song Dynasty's imperial guards.

As he said that, Zhang Hongfan took out the letter of persuasion from his arms and handed it to Fan Wenhu.

Fan Wenhu quickly got up and took it over, and said, "I will definitely complete the head coach's mission!"

Zhang Hongfan waved his hand, "Yes, go!"

His official power was extremely strong, and even this slight movement had unquestionable majesty.

Fan Wenhu left with his fists.

Then, he took two soldiers, holding torches, and rowed toward the island of Benzhou.

The two soldiers kept shouting: "We are envoys of the Yuan Dynasty, so I would like to see the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty!"

On the ship, Li Heng asked Zhang Hongfan: "Brother Hongfan, do you guess the Southern Song emperor did not leave Benzhou. Is he already thinking of surrendering?"

Zhang Hongfan gently picked up his beard and smiled, "This is not important. If he surrenders, we will save the hardship of war. If he does not surrender and see our envoys, Zhang Shijie and others will also guess that we will be ready to attack. With their courage, even with the determination to die, they will tremble. The Southern Song Dynasty court will definitely be defeated under the hands of our brothers."

After saying that, he said to the generals in front of him: "Wait and prepare for war. If the Emperor Song does not surrender, the front army and the central army will immediately attack the island as soon as the Yin hour arrives. Be sure to directly attack the Song Emperor's palace! The rear army will prepare. If the Emperor Song escapes, immediately go around the rear of the island and burn their ships."

"Receive the order!"

The generals took the order and hurriedly returned to the fleet.

Zhang Hongfan chose to attack in Yinshi. This is also knowledgeable. Yinshi is three in the morning, which is when people are most tired and want to sleep.

Li Heng pondered for a moment and said in admiration: "Another waste or scare, Song Jun was physically and mentally exhausted, and the defeat was decided. He is a man of great talent!"

Zhang Hongfan couldn't help but feel a little proud. If he was praised by others, he might not care, but Li Heng was also a famous general in the Yuan Dynasty, no worse than Zhang Hongfan. His praise was of great value.

At this time, Fan Wenhu had already arrived on the island.

A patrolling team of Southern Song imperial guards instantly surrounded them.

Fan Wenhu held his head up and said, "I am an envoy of the Yuan Dynasty. I am here to persuade you to surrender to your emperor. Take me to see you quickly."

Although he was also a general of the Southern Song Dynasty before, he looked down on these Southern Song soldiers from the bottom of his heart. He knew very well how weak they were.

But he naturally never thought that the soldiers had experienced so many things these days, and the soldiers were no longer as thoughts as before. Zhao Dongting's perseverance in fighting inspired them, which made their hearts ignited.

Immediately, the captain of the team of the imperial guards shouted: "So what about the envoy of the Yuan Dynasty? When you arrive at Tengzhou Island, you have to lie down even if you are a tiger!"

"presumptuous!"

Fan Wenhu was furious.

But the team leader was too lazy to pay attention to him and ordered his soldiers: "Take them up and take them to meet the emperor."

The soldiers' spears immediately aimed at Fan Wenhu and the two little pawns next to him.

Fan Wenhu is a martial artist and has great skills. He is furious and wants to take action. However, when he thinks of Zhang Hongfan's order, he has to endure it.

He knew that even if he killed these Southern Song guards, he would have to be punished when he returned. Zhang Hong and Fan were strict in governing the army and never talked about any mercy.

Besides, he was a surrendered general, so he was even more afraid that Zhang Hongfan would use his authority.

"snort!"

Thinking of this, Fan Wenhu snorted heavily and let the guards escort the palace on the mountain with guns.

He made up his mind that if Emperor Song did not surrender and waited for the army to attack, he would kill all the soldiers on the island of Benzhou.

In this way, a team of imperial guards escorted Fan Wenhu and the other two, avoiding the minefield and reaching outside Zhao Dongting's bedroom.

The guards went in and reported.

Zhao Dongting quickly walked out, looked at Fan Wenhu with confusion, and said, "Who are you?"

Fan Wenhu said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Yuan General Fan Wenhu!"

At this time, Li Yuanxiu also walked out of it and immediately showed anger when she saw Fan Wenhu, "Fan Wenhu, you are a rebel general! You dare to come!"

Fan Wenhu sneered: "I am an envoy of the Yuan Dynasty and come to persuade you to surrender, why don't you dare to come?"

He used to be an official in Lin'an, so he naturally knew Li Yuanxiu.

Li Yuanxiu said angrily: "What are you here to meet the emperor?"

Fan Wenhu said: "You monarchs of the Southern Song Dynasty are incompetent and slanderous ministers are in power. I am a wise man to protect myself if I have no face. If you have no face, you straitors and straitors have no face to see me."
