Chapter 67 Recruiting the Frontier (4) (2)

The military advisor hurriedly got under Zhang Hongfan's main ship, and was pulled up by the Yuan army.

As soon as he saw Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng, he knelt down on the ground and said, "I have met Zhang Shuai, Li Shuai!"

Li Heng had seen him in the prefecture of the prefecture and said in a slight confusion: "Aren't you a military advisor to the prefecture of Ge? Why did you come to us?"

The military advisor said a little embarrassedly: "Our army was frustrated in siege and planned to besiege the palace. The magistrate asked the two adults to come and take charge."

Sixty thousand people versus more than ten thousand people, but they were in such a situation. Even though he was thick-skinned, he felt hot now.

When Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng heard this, their faces changed slightly and they looked at each other. Then Li Heng said, "Magistrate Ge no longer intends to attack forcefully?"

The military advisor knew that if he didn't tell the truth, Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng would not be able to move the army easily. They were helpless at the moment and told them all about the experience of the Leizhou army.

Zhang Hongfan and the others were almost stunned.

They originally thought that the fisherman would benefit from the snipe and clam, but now it is good that the Leizhou army has not been able to fight with the Song army at all.

The two of them were also regretful now. They knew that it was impossible to have the opportunity to capture Emperor Song and destroy Ge Lijun.

Zhang Hongfan looked at Li Heng and asked, "Brother, what do you think we should deal with it?"

Li Heng had the idea of ​​sitting in the mountains to watch the tiger fight. He didn't care about the presence of the military advisor.

Li Heng lowered his head and pondered slightly, and then said to the military advisor: "Since that's the case, then you will go back and report, and we will follow the prefect of Ge to go up the mountain and scoop up the formation."

The military advisor was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. He asked the Yuan army to put him down and rushed to the Geli Monarch's ship.

As soon as he left, Zhang Hongfan asked Li Heng, "What are your plans?"

Li Heng sighed: "It is impossible for us to reap profits. Emperor Song and Lord Ge Li are still important after all. Brother, in this form, we can only help Lord Ge Li to destroy Song, hoping that the emperor will pardon our two army for the loss of the loss."

"well……"

Zhang Hongfan couldn't help but sigh.

He was known as the ever-winning general and went south. He was originally full of momentum and ambitious, but he was eventually defeated by the weak Song army.

Moreover, I don’t even know how it failed.

This is naturally a great humiliation for him.

Li Heng said at this time: "If my brothers go, it will be a great achievement if they can lead to a mutiny from the surrendered soldiers and resist the Song army..."

Zhang Hongfan could naturally think of this, and sighed helplessly: "This is the only way at this time."

After a while, ten warships of Ge Lijun and twenty warships of Zhang Hongfan slowly moved towards the shore of Benzhou Island. Only Qi Shucai's mighty army was left on the sea to guard against Liu Hongyi.

When they arrived at the shore, the Leizhou army and the Yuan army landed one after another. Ge Lijun was unable to exchange greetings with Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng, and then the war drums sounded. The two armies followed the previous route of the Huzhou army toward the palace.

When Zhao Dongting saw this scene on the cliff, he looked towards Leizhou from afar, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his eyes.

He was not afraid of Ge Lijun, but Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were very likely to lead to a mutiny from surrendered soldiers of the Yuan army.

What should I do?

Frowning and pondering for a while, he suddenly stood up and said to Li Yuanxiu: "My father-in-law follows me to the top of the city!"

Then he hurriedly walked into the palace.

Li Yuanxiu hurriedly followed.

Concubine Yang Shuying shouted: "Xi'er, what's wrong?"

Zhao Dongting just shook his head and did not answer. The Leizhou army surrounded him and did not attack. Ge Lijun suddenly went up the mountain, which made him realize that the situation was critical.

Ying'er looked at Zhao Dongting's tender back and was a little worried, saying, "Empress Dowager, I will go with the emperor."

As he said that, he ran to chase Zhao Dongting.

Le Chan and Le Wu sisters looked at each other and chased after them.

Concubine Yang frowned slightly, but she couldn't understand why Zhao Dongting was suddenly so solemn. But the ministers were still here, so she had to stay.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Zhao Dongting and the other five arrived on the southern city wall.

Zhang Shijie, Yue Peng and other generals guarding the south saw the emperor coming in person and hurried over to salute.

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and walked straight to the top of the city.

Just as he was about to climb to the top of the city, he was pulled by Yue Peng. Yue Peng said, "Your Majesty, the top of the city is dangerous."

Although the guardian army and the Huzhou army outside the city were still hundreds of meters away from the city wall, he was still worried about any accident. Zhao Dongting is now both nominally and in fact, the backbone of the Southern Song court.

"fine."

Zhao Dongting opened Yue Peng's hand and said, "I'm safe with my father-in-law on my side."

After saying that, he climbed up to the city. Standing on the walls, he looked at the continuous guards and generals and soldiers of the Huzhou Army under the city.

Zhang Shijie asked: "Master, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Dongting looked at the Leizhou soldiers who were hundreds of meters away from the city wall, knowing that the sound could not be so far away, frowned slightly, and then suddenly said in a deep voice: "General Yue, lead 500 elite soldiers and follow me out of the city!"

Yue Peng was shocked, "Your Majesty, are you going to leave the city?"

Zhao Dongting just nodded and did not answer.

Zhang Shijie didn't understand why Zhao Dongting wanted to leave the city, so he knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, it's dangerous outside the city, you can't leave the city..."

Zhao Dongting finally spoke, "If I don't go out of the city, this city is the real danger."

As he said that, he looked at Yue Peng again, and his tone was quite strong, "Go down and prepare quickly."

Yue Peng admired Zhao Dongting from the bottom of his heart. Seeing that he was so solemn and did not dare to neglect, he hurried down to the city wall to select elite soldiers and generals.

Zhang Shijie had just been staring at the Leizhou army outside the city, but did not notice the movement of Ge Lijun. At this time, he couldn't help asking: "Master, why did you insist on leaving the city?"

Zhao Dongting sighed: "We missed Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng. At this time, they had already come up the mountain with Ge Lijun."

Zhang Shijie was able to control the three armies, so he naturally had a good mind. When he heard this, he quickly thought about the pros and cons of it, and his face changed drastically.

The surrender of the Yuan army is ultimately a hidden danger.

After a dozen seconds, Zhang Shijie said, "Your Majesty, why not be able to take the emperor to recruit soldiers outside the city?"

At this moment, he could of course think of Zhao Dongting's plan.

There are only 15,000 imperial guards in the city, but there are more than 12,000 surrendered soldiers. If these Leizhou troops are not recruited, and Zhang Hongfan and others go up the mountain and the surrendered soldiers will change, it will be enough for the imperial guards to drink a pot. When the Leizhou troops outside the city attack again, the palace will be destroyed.

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said, "This is the most appropriate thing for me to go."

As he said that, he sighed softly, "If I encounter unexpected surprises when I go out of the city, you will lead your army to surrender..."

He had no confidence in the result of his trip to the city, but he was very clear that he had to gamble at this time.

War cannot tolerate any negligence. Because Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng miscalculated, the Song army became in danger in a blink of an eye.
