.    Zhongdu Incident

    Although Zhongdu has suffered from wars and plunder, it was once the capital of the Jin Kingdom. After a century of romance, there will always be some residual remnants.

    The place where Zhang Rou held the banquet was in the Zhongdu mansion given to him by Mu Huali. This mansion was very large and very unique. It was said to be the residence of a prince of the Jin Kingdom.  This prince is probably very good at fighting. This mansion is built like a castle, tall and solid.

    Zhang Honglue was waiting outside the door to greet the guests instead of Zhang Rou. Both Hua Nudi and Liu Bolin felt awkward about this banquet, but under the current situation, it was hard to violate Zhang Rou's face.  Using Zhang Honglue to welcome guests can give both parties a better buffer. After all, Zhang Honglue is a junior, and some things will get better|u.

    At this moment, some low-level generals arrived at the Zhang Mansion one after another. Zhang Honglue made arrangements one by one, in an orderly manner, busy and not chaotic, which made some generals who had worked with Zhang Rou for many years secretly nod, thinking that this major general was not bad.

    Moments before the banquet started, the senior generals arrived at Zhang Mansion one after another as if they had made an appointment. There was little conversation between them, and there were not many relaxed and cheerful expressions on their faces.  Zhang Honglue did not dare to neglect, and personally took the people to arrange them, and finally led these people to the main banquet hall. Liu Bolin had already arrived with Liu Heima.

    When Zhang Honglue saw one of today's protagonists, a smile appeared on his face: "Uncle Liu can come, my father will be very happy. Please!"

    Liu Bolin felt a little uneasy when he saw the tall wall of Zhang's mansion. He was a little worried that Zhang Rou would get angry and join forces to plot against him, so he brought Liu Heima with him and hid a group of personal guards nearby. If something happened,  , you can support yourself at any time.

    Zhang Honglue was a little late when he saw Liu Bolin, and he suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu and my father have not known each other for the first time. Does Uncle Liu think that my father will really agree to Hua Nuduo Nayan's method of burning me in Hebei?"  Torch?"

    When Liu Bolin heard this, he realized that this was indeed the case. He knew that Zhang Rou was a man who cared about his fellow villagers very much. It was really difficult for him to agree to Hua Nutui's proposal.  The biggest problem between him and Hua Nutui is this difference. Since Zhang Rou will not support it, then the danger to him is much less.  However, it is necessary to be on guard against others. He also said: "The dark horse is following me, there will be no hindrance, right?"

    "There, there, the black horse brother should be by your uncle's side, please!" Zhang Hongfan made the invitation again.

    Liu Bolin nodded, and walked into Zhang Mansion with Liu Heima, followed by others to lead them to the banquet on the side.

    Walking into the banquet hall, Liu Bolin found that most of the senior generals in Zhongdu were there, but Hua Nudi was not seen among them. When he learned that he had not come yet, he felt a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything and followed the waiter to the banquet.

    When other generals saw Liu Bolin, some wanted to come up and say hello, but were hinted by the looks of their colleagues.  At this time, Liu Bolin and Hua Nu were falling like fire and water, and it was hard to say how the situation would develop. If Liu Bolin showed closeness to Liu Bolin at this time, after Hua Nu's decline was strong, he would have to be liquidated, and it would be worth the loss.

    The generals at the table remained silent. Only Wang Yi, who had always had a casual relationship with Liu Bolin, stood up and said, "I have met General Liu!"

    Liu Bolin looked at Wang Yi in surprise. He remembered that he had no close friendship with this person. Wang Yi was usually taciturn and liked to read. He always looked down upon him and thought he was a scholar.  He didn't expect the generals to be so indifferent this time. He was the only one who was so indifferent, which really touched him.

    "General Wang Yi, you're welcome!" It was inconvenient to say more at this time. Liu Bolin kept this feeling in his heart, nodded, and took his seat peacefully.

    Not long after we sat down, Zhang Rou, the host, walked in and bowed to everyone: "Please forgive me, Zhang got some news about the Song Army temporarily, which delayed the time. Please don't take offense!"

    "It's so polite to ask for help, so I'm just here!" Everyone knew how to express themselves on such occasions, and they all expressed their forgiveness. Liu Bolin also asked what happened.

    Zhang Rou hesitated for a moment and then said: "The truth that my men just discovered is that it is said that Tianjin fell and it was Zhang Batu who killed Mu Duochi's supervisors and dedicated the city. I think this news is wrong and I am asking someone to verify it!"

    "Ah?" All the generals present looked at each other, who is Zhang Batu?  That is a person who was given the name Mongolia by Genghis Khan himself, and has the same name as his grandson. He would also betray the Mongols. Doesn't this make sense?

    "Actually, I also think that this matter may be the smoke released by the Song Army. The purpose is to make our army disorderly. Let's ignore him first. Anyway, no matter what the enemy is, as long as we can unite sincerely, there is nothing to fear from others." Zhang Rou answered skillfully.  After passing the topic, he diverted the matter away. When he found that Hua Nutiao didn't come, he asked, "Hua Nutiao, why hasn't Mr. Yan come yet?"

    The generals haven¡¯t answered yet, Liu Bolin¡­He let out a cold snort, and before he could speak, Hua Nuduo's Chinese voice with a strange accent came from outside: "I'm here. I want to see how you are planning to rebel."

    These words were extremely heart-wrenching. Before the generals could say anything, Hua Nu Dui walked in surrounded by a group of Mongolian soldiers.  As soon as these soldiers came in, they surrounded the generals in the room.

    Zhang Rou and other generals frowned in dissatisfaction when they saw Hua Nutui bringing so many people in and vaguely surrounding them. Liu Bolin gave Liu Heima a wary look. Liu Heima nodded. He made a mistake in his steps and was already there.  Get into an attacking position.

    "Lord Yan, we are holding this banquet today for the sake of peace among the generals. It is not a war, so Lord Yan doesn't need to bring so many guards!" Zhang Rou saw that something was wrong and stood up to speak quickly.

    Other generals also agreed, causing Hua Nutui to look furious, and yelled loudly: "You don't have to be pretentious, I am not Mu Duochi, and I will not be fooled by you Han people again.

    Now this courtyard has been surrounded by my personal guards. If you want to survive, you must obey my orders.  "

    As soon as these words came out, all the generals, whether they were Han Chinese or from other ethnic groups, were extremely shocked. This posture was meant to take us down in one fell swoop!

    "Zhang Rou, what else do you have to say!" When Liu Bolin saw Hua being so angry, he immediately thought that Zhang Rou had conspired with him, and immediately accused Zhang Rou.

    After all, Zhang Rou has been through life and death countless times. Such a scene is not difficult for him. His face is calm and his demeanor remains unchanged: "General Liu, don't be impatient. Zhang is also confused about today's matter. Then Master Yan, come here today."  They are all important generals in Zhongdu. Aren't you afraid of arousing public anger and causing any bad things? You know, we all have followed the Great Khan, the Grand Master, and the Fourth Prince, and they don't have any misgivings about us.  loyal to you

    , where to put them?  "

    When Zhang Rou said this, Hua Nudui also showed some hesitation. He also knew that the risk taken by doing this today was very high. If it hadn't been for that news, he wouldn't have done it. Thinking of this, he looked at a guard beside him  .

    The guard seemed to know that he was hesitating, and quickly said in a low voice in Mongolian: "Master Yan, you can't hesitate. Master Muduochi was killed by Zhang Batu because he didn't listen to me. These outsiders are all  It¡¯s unreliable, whether it¡¯s the Han or the Khitan. Now we in Mongolia are in a critical situation. As long as you catch them, you can control the armies of these generals. What will you do then? Don¡¯t you just say a word? You are making a decision.  It¡¯s a great achievement, the Great Khan will definitely be very happy when he knows about it.¡±

    Hua Nu Duo's expression changed for a while, and Piao Tian Literature Network said: "Zhang Batu killed Mu Duochi. I don't believe anyone now. If you are still loyal to Mongolia, order your army to burn Zhongdu, and then follow me."  Retreat to Liaodong, otherwise you will be deliberately treasonous and you will be put to death."

    Forced by Hua Nutui, the generals hesitated for a moment and wanted not to agree. However, they saw the murderous Mongolian soldiers around them, but they did not dare to speak. When they were in a dilemma, Zhang Rou unexpectedly stood up and said,  Looking at the flowers, he said angrily: "Does Master Yan really want to hold us hostage in order to burn down the entire Zhongdu?"

    "Exactly!" Hua Nudu still had some respect and taboo for Zhang Rou, and wanted to persuade him to change his mind, "Zhang Zhaobao, you are the general that I rely on in Mongolia. As long as you are willing to obey my orders, you will be able to see four people in the future."  Prince, I will tell you the truth and I will not miss out on your benefits."

    Zhang Rou nodded frequently as she listened. After the other party finished speaking, she looked at the generals first and saw that they were all looking at her. Some of the generals probably thought that they were about to agree, and they looked extremely dissatisfied.

    Seeing this scene, Zhang Rou first raised his head and sighed: "I, Zhang Rou, was originally a farmer in Yizhou. During the Great Khan's southern expedition and the chaos in Hebei, I built a stronghold and defended myself to protect my neighbors. I was heard from far and near. In the past  I wanted to repay Lord Miao with all my heart, but I didn't want him to be killed by Jia. I gathered all the soldiers to attack Jia, but on the way I encountered the Great Khan's southern army.  After the defeat, I was captured by the Great Khan. However, the Great Khan valued me and allowed me to surrender. Grand Master Hou Muhuali even helped me kill Master Jia Weimiao to avenge me. Later, the four princes took advantage of me, which made Rou Buwei even more frightened. In the past, I  He once swore a poisonous oath, 'I will use my troops to kill many people, and I would rather live without injustice. From now on, I will not fight the enemy unless I fight with the enemy, and I swear not to kill.' Today, Lord Yan actually let Rou Fen flee north from the central capital, and intended to kill the enemy.  Everything was destroyed along the way. Although Rou was unkind, he did not dare to commit such a heinous crime. Most of our generals are from Hebei. If it is true as your Majesty said, I am afraid that I will live without a face. Please take back your life. We are willing to cooperate with you.  The Song army fought to the death to protect the central capital."

    Zhang Rou's words resonated with everyone, and they all stood up and begged: "Please take back your life, we are willing to fight to the death with the Song Army."

    Hua was so angry that her nose almost turned crooked with anger, and she said viciouslyLooking at Zhang Rou, she said angrily: "Are you really going to resist my order?"

    Zhang Rou looked at him steadily and nodded after a long time: "Since the Lord insists on doing this, Rou can only do this! Kill"

    Before Hua Nutui could speak, a sharp arrow came from nowhere and hit his throat. There was chaos in the place. The surrounding Mongolian soldiers saw Hua Nutui hit by the arrow. They all roared and drew their weapons to kill the generals.  .

    "If you don't want to die, just do the damn thing!" Zhang Rou shouted violently, overturned the table, grabbed the case and faced the Mongols. Seeing the situation like this, the other generals didn't care so much, even if they didn't want to fight with the Mongols.  If you want to fight with others, you have to have those Mongolian soldiers willing to listen to you.

    "Look at the Mongolian soldier whose eyes are already red, forget it, let's fight honestly first and then talk about it.

    These generals were basically armed with weapons and had outstanding martial arts skills. When the Mongols came to kill them, they were forced to fight whether they wanted to or not. Among them, Liu Heima performed the most outstandingly. His spears swung and he took away several lives from time to time, almost  Invincible.

    At this time, there were also shouts of killing outside. I don¡¯t know whose men and horses they were. Anyway, they surrounded the group of Mongolians and charged to kill them. For a while, the entire Zhang Mansion became a battlefield.

    The shouts of killing, screams, shouts, and begging for mercy were all so loud and lively!

    During the excitement of the killing, Zhang Hongfan, Zhang Rou's son, ran out of nowhere, followed by a group of soldiers wearing black armor. It was Zhang Rou's personal black armor guards.  As soon as he saw the situation on the field, he immediately ordered the black-armored guards to attack.  This group of black-armored guards had extremely high combat power and reversed the situation almost instantly. Later, the personal guards of each general also joined in the attack on the Mongols, and gradually surrounded and strangled the Mongols.

    In order to control these generals this time, Hua Nudu ordered all the Mongolians to dismount, and under the leadership of Zhang Fu Neiying, they took control of Zhang Fu in one fell swoop.

    If everything goes according to plan, these generals should be captured without a fight. There is not much difference between having horses and without horses. But in this situation, the Mongols without horses are far inferior to the personal guards and are almost useless.  In a short time, all these Mongols were killed.

    After Zhang Rou, who was covered in blood, hacked a Mongolian to death with one knife, she said to the general beside her: "Since we have done such a thing, the Mongols will definitely not let us go.  Take refuge in the Song Dynasty, everyone has seen it!"

    Seeing Zhang Rou covered in blood at this moment, with murderous intent in her eyes, she didn't dare to speak even if she wanted to object. What's more, the generals here today can't win the trust of others even if they say that they didn't kill the Mongols. Now they really have no choice but to follow Zhang's instructions.  What Rou said was contrary to Mongolia's surrender to the Song Dynasty.

    Several generals who were usually good friends with Zhang Rou stood up and expressed their willingness to follow. Other generals also stood up one after another. To Zhang Rou's surprise, the last ones left were Liu Bolin and his son. Just as he was about to say a few words of persuasion, Liu Bolin suddenly said  Looking at Zhang Rou, she said: "Seeing that you are usually weak, you didn't expect to be so decisive today. Everyone has seen what happened today. This Hua was so angry and bullied others that we had no choice. In this case, we simply killed the Mongolians in Zhongdu.  People, lest anyone regret what happened today."

    Liu Heima took a step forward and wielded a steel spear, making a dull impact.

    Zhang Rou looked at Liu Bolin and said harshly: "That's good, lest someone repeats it again in the future and unwilling people come forward!"

    After shouting three times in a row, no one answered. Zhang Rou shouted "Hello" and led the generals to the Mongolian gathering place in Zhongdu with murderous intent.

    A massacre unfolded in Zhongdu. A large number of Semu people who followed the Mongolian invading army were regarded as Mongolians.

    , and then some innocent people also suffered, and Zhongdu was bleeding again

    This massacre continued until the second day, and the madness stopped only when the soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Legion arrived to stop it.  At this moment, the pro-Mongolian forces in Zhongdu were almost wiped out, and the remaining areas were still lingering. They were frightened and had no intention of resisting the Fire Phoenix Army's entry. Instead, they wanted to be protected.

    On the third day, Caiyun personally led 10,000 cavalry to the central capital. Zhang Rou and other generals took off their armor, opened the city gates, and knelt down to beg for forgiveness. Caiyun personally supported them one by one and stood up, and offered kind words of comfort. The generals felt at ease.  He vowed to submit to the Song Dynasty and be loyal to Caiyun.

    Zhongdu fell, and the hunting fire phoenix flag flew over Zhongdu!

    Zhending Prefecture in Hebei Province borders Taihang to the west and Yanyun to the north. It can threaten all the places in Henan when advancing, and it can take over all the prefectures in Hebei when retreating. It has always been an important place for military strategists.

    This was originally an important town for the Jin Kingdom to defend against the Mongols, but was later captured by the Mongols. They defeated the Jin Kingdom's Northern Expeditionary Army by dragging thunder. When they hurried south, they recovered it and sent his most trusted Shi Tianze to lead 20,000 troops to garrison it.

    Although there are only 20,000 people??, but these people all followed the historian brothers in the south and north wars, and came here through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. In addition, Mongolia had many war horses, so they were very generous to die-hard servants like them.  Before Tuo Lei left, he also handed over all the horses left behind to the Shi brothers. His original intention was to enable the Shi brothers to form a full cavalry team, which could not only resist the Jin Kingdom, but also deter the Fire Phoenix Army.

    Therefore, the current troops of the Shi brothers are all composed of cavalry, with no less than three horses per person, almost the same as the Mongolian cavalry.  Its mobility is definitely second to none among the Mongolian servants.

    This cavalry unit is commanded by three brothers, Shi Tianze, Shi Tianan, and Shi Tianxiang, and is headed by Shi Tianze, a member of the 50,000 households.

    Among the ranks of the Mongolian army, there are three Han generals who receive the most attention. One is Guo Baoyu, who has been following Genghis Khan. His two sons are both powerful generals in Mongolia, which can be said to be a great honor; the second is Shi Tianze.  He was first valued by Mu Huali, then by General Bolu, and finally by Tuo Lei. Like Guo Baoyu, he was a Mongolian official, not a foreigner who was rewarded by Genghis Khan with the official position of the Jin Kingdom.  General; the third one is Zhang Rou. He is in charge of recruitment in Hebei. It can almost be said that those generals who are rewarded with official positions in the Kingdom of Jin must obey his control.

    However, from his official position, it can be seen that Shi Tianze is more valued by the Mongols than Zhang Rou, otherwise the task of defending the first line of defense in the Jin and Song Dynasties would not have fallen on him.

    At this moment, Shi Tianze, who is highly regarded by Mongolia and trusted by Tuo Lei, has fallen into a dilemma!

    Frankly speaking, Shi Tianze was indeed trying his best. He knew that Tuo Lei's departure had reduced Hebei Mongolia's strength by more than half, and that the Jin Kingdom was newly defeated and unable to travel north. The biggest threat to Hebei was Shandong's Fire Phoenix Army.  .  He sent his second brother Shi Tianan to Daming Mansion and assigned half of his troops to garrison, just to contain Caiyun.  At the same time, spies were also sent out to infiltrate Shandong to monitor the situation of the Fire Phoenix Legion, especially Zhao Caiyun.

    He also knew the news that Zhao Caiyun led 10,000 cavalry to Shanghe.  However, his judgment was the same as everyone else's. Even if Tu Lei left, attacking Hebei with 10,000 people would be a life-or-death situation. He believed that with Caiyun's military skills, he should not commit such an obvious mistake.  Wrong, so although vigilance was raised, no troops were deployed to take precautions.

    When he learned that Zhao Caiyun really led 10,000 people to attack Hebei, he immediately didn't believe it and thought it was a cover-up.  When he confirmed that the Fire Phoenix Army had indeed only 10,000 cavalry heading north, he was overjoyed, thinking that this was Zhao Caiyun's careless underestimation of the enemy and that it was his opportunity.

    He immediately summoned the troops and gave orders to Shi Tian'an, asking him to cut off Zhao Caiyun's retreat after she led her army north. Then he led his troops to encircle and suppress Zhao Caiyun, trying to solve this problem in one fell swoop.  The female general of the Song Dynasty who admired in horror.

    He believed that with the cavalry trained by the Mongols, he would be able to defeat the 10,000 people of the Fire Phoenix Legion. With the help of other troops, he should have a good chance of winning.

    Just when he was ready and about to contact the generals from various places to cooperate, Zhao Caiyun's unstoppable advance was like a bucket of cold water poured down.  When he learned that many soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Legion even went around his own defense line to cooperate with Zhao Caiyun's attack, he immediately realized that he had made a huge mistake.  It is true that Zhao Caiyun only brought 10,000 troops, but her route north was along Haizhou County, where she could receive support from the sea at any time.  In this way, let alone Zhao Caiyun's 10,000 people, even if he only had 1,000 people, he would not dare to lead an army to encircle and suppress them.

    He knew that the Fire Phoenix Legion had large ships. He even knew that Zhao Caiyun also used large ships during the last Northern War between Jin, Song and Mongolia.  However, due to the limitations of the times and his blind faith in cavalry, he was not familiar with coordinated sea and land operations. Even previous military books and combat examples rarely contained such content.  This formed a mindset in his mind, believing that the outcome of a confrontation between two armies could only be decided on land. He never thought that troops could be used in this way.

    This time Caiyun gave him another vivid lesson on the art of war to verify the correctness of the unpredictable situation of war.  This realization made him even more wary of Caiyun, and he hesitated for a while about whether to confront Caiyun.

    Just at this moment, Jin Guo also came to take advantage of the situation.

    For them, Shi Tianze had nothing to worry about. He led his troops and charged at the Jin forward troops, killing thousands of them and taking prisoners. The remaining Jin troops dispersed and fled back to the Jin controlled area.

    Shi Tianze did not pursue, but instead gathered his troops. After learning that Tianjin had fallen, he immediately recalled Shi Tianan to Zhending Mansion and gathered his troops, about 20,000 people, and tens of thousands of large and small war horses.

    He knew that as soon as Tianjin fell, Zhongdu would open its doors to Zhao Caiyun, and the survival of Zhongdu was related to Mongolia's foothold in Hebei.Question.  He gathered his troops and prepared to retreat to Yizhou via Dingzhou. This way he could reinforce Zhongdu and contain the Fire Phoenix Army. Secondly, if things went wrong, he could also lead his people across the Great Wall and escape to Liaodong, standing in  Invincible.

    But just as he was reorganizing his troops and preparing to withdraw, his close friend Du Feng suddenly came to visit him.

    And this meeting completely disrupted Shi Tianze¡¯s original plan!
