Chapter 70: Under the Venomous Fangs "No, we must find a place to stop the soldiers and horses first, and then make plans."
Feeling the blade that could cut him in two at will, he murmured to himself as he beat the deck with his right pillar.
Daruhuachi in Baoding and Hejian were all Han military nobles.
They are less reliable than Taibuhua, once they are there" "Right Prime Minister, be careful what you say."
At this moment, Zuo Prime Minister He's only performance was that he was far calmer than the coach Ding Zhu.
He gently put down the secret report and interrupted in a low voice, "How can we judge loyalty by blood at this moment?
He's ancestor is also a Han.
But as long as the Prime Minister does not retreat this time, He will never turn around and abandon the army."
His ancestor was the general of the Han army, He Renjie, the Duke of Yong State.
Because of his outstanding military exploits when massacring his own people, Kublai Khan specially granted him Mongolian citizenship.
Therefore, his official name is Taiping, and only a handful of people closest to him can call him Mr.
He, or the only brother.
But his loyalty to Dayuan is no less than anyone else at the moment.
Especially compared with the authentic Mongolian bloodlines such as Hama, Xuexue, Taibuhua, etc. who have betrayed them, they are even more incomparable.
"I'm not talking about you.
You know, I have always, always thought you were a Mongolian."
Seeing He Weiwei's calm eyes, he felt guilty.
Dingzhu waved his hands and explained with a blush, "I'm afraid, afraid of that If the people named Zhang and Dong, as well as Taiwei Yuekuochaer, are inspired by Tai Buhua's results, rush to join Zhu Butcher, or secretly collude with the emperor, you and I will definitely die without a burial place. " "Did the right minister even think about surviving before he went on the expedition?"
He Weiwei glanced at him lightly and continued to ask with a smile.
"This" Dingzhu is speechless.
Before setting off, he had indeed made up his mind to win or die.
However, the only way to survive through the ages is to die.
What's more, he is not yet fifty years old and has not yet enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the world.
Therefore, when you find that your side has almost no hope of winning, you will inevitably start to hesitate to turn back.
"If the right minister regrets it, he can claim his illness and return now.
Leave the army to He.
Anyway, He has more experience in leading troops than you."
Seeing that Dingzhu did not dare to answer his own words, He Weiyi simply squatted down.
Come down and look him in the eye for advice.
"What nonsense are you talking about?
Who do you think I am?
How could I go back alone?
How could I abandon the army and abscond?"
Dingzhu was so angry that he slapped the deck hard, jumped up and pointed at He Weiwei.
His nose screamed.
"Okay, I know you Dingzhu are not that greedy for life and fear of death."
He Weiyi tilted his head back slightly, with a faint smile still on his face, "In fact, from the moment you and I left Dadu, There is no going back.
If you keep your head down, no matter what.
Victory or defeat, the family may still be able to survive.
If they give up halfway, they will not be able to escape the end of their lives even if they return to Dadu.
If you don't believe it, you can send someone back secretly to check whether the Wang family slaves and his son are dead.
Get back on good terms with the emperor again.”
"You, you, you, you."
The right-hand column was trembling as if struck by lightning, and kept retreating, "You, what nonsense are you talking about?
The slaves of the Wang family joined us in bloodbathing the palace, and his son Sang Ge was missing and secretly contacted the emperor on behalf of the emperor.

After passing Li Siqi, they were regarded as a thorn in the prince's side.
How could they, how could they?"
"The Wang family has been operating in Shaanxi and Gansu for many years, and has a big tree with deep roots.
If the prince wants to restore his country in the future, he will be unable to do without the Wang family."
He Weiwei seemed to have seen through everything, stood up, and added with a smile.
"Unless the prince is surrounded by short-sighted people, it is impossible for the prince to touch the father and son."
"Then, then, let's, let's, what should we do?
Go back to the teacher, we can't do it now, we have to go back to the teacher immediately."
The right phase fixed column was like an ant on a hot pot, spinning in circles and shouting.
"It's still too late to return to the teacher now.
I don't believe that Wang's slave can stop you.
I'll hit you with all my strength."
"Then, should we kill the emperor and surrender to Butcher Zhu, or should we continue to waste time with the emperor in Dadu until we are captured by Butcher Zhu?"
He Weiwei's words came from mid-air again, with the coldness unique to early spring.
"If we didn't want to bear the bad reputation of regicide, you and I would have abolished Hun Jun long ago, why wait until now?
If Hun Jun is not abolished, one more Wang family slave will be killed, and one Wang family slave will be killed less.
What’s the difference?”
This sentence was said so thoroughly that Dingzhu had no way to refute it.
If they had been ruthless to depose Tuohuan Timur and install another prince as the throne during the bloodbath in the palace, Tuohuan Timur would not have found an opportunity and forced him to lead the army.
And as long as Tuohuan Timur is not abolished and whether he returns to the army now, the result will be the same.
Killing a slave from the Wang family, as well as a slave from the Li family, and a slave from the Huang family, there are always many officials among the officials who can make the most of the situation.
The royal relatives in the capital city will not stop attacking them in the back just because the enemy is at hand.
"At this point, we can only work hard to move forward and survive in death."
Seeing that Dingzhu was speechless by his own question, He Weiwei thought for a while and continued to add, "You also know that the emperor is not willing to let go of him.
He has no authority and no responsibility.
As long as you and I are not defeated for a day, he will not be willing to leave Dadu and really go to the prince.
But if you and I are killed in the battle, he will not bother to deal with you and my family immediately.
Will abandon the city and run away, flee Yaoyao.
If you go back now and give up halfway, you will be cast aside by the soldiers.
As long as you and I don't kill the emperor, the emperor will have the ability to destroy you and me in a few days.
You don't have to shake your head, Boyan, take off. take off This is a lesson learned from the past.
Hama's fate is already the best.
Although our emperor neither knows how to govern a country nor lead an army, his ability to kill his own people is second to none. , I’m afraid they are all beyond reach.”
The last two sentences were like a heavy hammer, hitting Dingzhu's chest hard.
Ling Dingzhu continued to back up until his butt hit the cabin wall, and then he finally managed to stand firm.
He stared at a pair of red eyes and groaned, "Stop talking, stop talking.
You are saying this.
I know, I know we don't dare."
Kill him, but he has already wanted to kill us.
But there is no other way but to fight Xu Tenant.
We, let’s just go."
"You don't have to go to the prince.
On the prince's side, thousands or hundreds of households need to lead troops to fight, they need counselors to plan food and grass, and they need these 200,000 soldiers.
The only thing they don't need are two prime ministers and a magistrate.
"Privy Councilor" He Weiwei smiled again and shook his head with difficulty, "Actually, on the day he left Dadu, He had already figured out that this matter must have been caused by the emperor colluding with those people and forcing us.

Let's fight Xu Da.
Only if we all leave can he regain control of the court and continue to do whatever he wants.
The reason why He clearly sees his intentions and is willing to die is because he wants you and me to fight.
One death can cause Xu Da to lose his troops.
In this way, even if you and I are defeated, the Huai'an army will at most capture most of the capital and will definitely not have the strength to continue to force the prince.
Given time, I, Dayuan, may not be able to come back to life."
He is a loyal minister, so his thinking cannot be judged by the thoughts of ordinary people.
Knowing that Tuohuan Timur wanted to push him to hell, he would still jump.
He just wants to fill hell with the bones of himself and his soldiers, so that Tuohuan Timur and his son can walk on the road paved with corpses to reach the other side.
Although the Right Prime Minister Dingzhu spared his life, in terms of loyalty to the Yuan Dynasty, he was no less loyal to the Yuan Dynasty than He Weiwei, the Mongolian who granted him citizenship.
Listening to the other party's impassioned words, his chest was instantly filled with loneliness and anger.
He gritted his teeth and waved his fists in the air, "It doesn't matter, He, since you want to die, a certain family will accompany you.
At least we can be each other's companions on the road to hell."
"It's natural to drink three hundred bowls with your right minister on the Naihe Bridge."
He Weiyi laughed loudly and extended his palm towards the Dingzhu.
"I'll never stop until I'm drunk," Dingzhu said with tears in his eyes, high-fiving him.
I vowed to live and die together in this life and never leave.
Both of them made the final decision, and their mood became extremely relaxed.
At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly came from outside the cabin door, "Two adults, what are you doing?
Who can say whether this battle will be defeated or not?
Someone has a plan, which will definitely make Butcher Zhu die without a burial place."
"who" "Get in here!"
Dingzhu and He Weiwei were shocked and shouted sharply one after another.
Because they were still far away from the enemy, their morale was extremely low, so in the past day or two, the two of them had not strictly emphasized military discipline.
But except for a very small number of core figures, ordinary generals are also self-aware and will not easily board the commander's ship, let alone have the ability and courage to hide at the door and eavesdrop for a long time.
"Li Hanqing, the last general, pays homage to the two prime ministers."
The man outside the door smiled and entered, his voice sounding like a poisonous snake spitting a message in the shadows.
"What are you doing here?
Who asked you to board the ship?
Why didn't you inform him?"
As soon as Dingzhu saw Li Hanqing's face, he became very angry.
The latter is a Tuotuo scholar with an extremely humble background.
However, the latter has no self-awareness, always likes to join the Mongolian nobles, and always tries to steal the limelight.
In those days, to save face, everyone had to look at the owner when beating a dog.
But now that Tuo Tuo's corpse has been cold for many years, this person still doesn't know how to advance or retreat, so he is really looking for death.
"Don't blame me, Your Excellency.
It was my subordinates who deceived them and said they came under your summons, so they didn't dare to disturb you."
Li Hanqing didn't care about the knife-like look in Ding Zhu's eyes.
He smiled and cupped his hands, speaking slowly.
Swallow explanation.
"How dare you fake a military order?
Come here and take it down for me."
Dingzhu became even more furious after hearing this.
He slapped the ship's bulkhead hard and ordered his guards to go inside and arrest the person.
"Wait a minute."

Li Hanqing kicked the door shut before the guards rushed in, and then pushed the hatch tightly with his butt, "Sir, listen to me, if this strategy doesn't work, I will lead the army."
If this plan works, please stop worrying about Li's background and previous rudeness, and give Li a chance to stand alone."
"You" Dingzhu was so frightened by Li Hanqing's confident look that he hesitated.
He turned his head sideways and asked He Weiwei for advice.
"People outside, please step back first."
He Weiwei, with the idea of treating a dead horse as a living horse, shouted to the guards outside the door.
Then, he smiled and nodded to Li Hanqing, "Come on, if you have any plans, just tell them now.
If it works, I will guarantee that you will lead the army alone."
"Thank you, Prime Minister Zuo," Li Hanqing put away his buttocks and solemnly saluted He Weiwei.
Immediately, he turned his gaze to Dingzhu and said, "What do you think, Your Excellency?"
"His words are my words."
Dingzhu glared at Li Hanqing fiercely and made a promise with a livid face.
"Two gentlemen, do you know what title Zhu Butcher was given in the Pseudo-Song Dynasty?"
Li Hanqing smiled, just like Kao Mengtong, who followed the instructions.
"Of course it's King Wu, who in the whole world doesn't know this?"
Dingzhu and He Weiyi both frowned, unable to guess what Mongolian sweat medicine was being sold in this gourd.
"You two adults, do you know why King Wu Fu Chai died in the past?"
Li Hanqing smiled and nodded, making an enigmatic look.
"This" Dingzhu and He Weiyi looked at each other and both pondered.
As a high-ranking official at their level, they would certainly not believe the folk rumors that Fu Chai's country was destroyed because he loved Xi Shi too much.
According to official historical records and their judgment, in order to compete for hegemony with the Central Plains princes, Fu Chai led the entire country's troops north to form an alliance regardless of his own strength, which was the real key.
Wu State was originally a rising star.
Its historical heritage, land area, and population could not be compared with the Five Hegemons such as Chu State, Qin State, and Qi State.
And behind him, there is a feud like the Yue Kingdom dormant.
Suddenly remembering the allusion of King Gou Jian of Yue who destroyed the State of Wu with a sneak attack, the two of them couldn't help but have a cold war.
Zhu Tutu was granted the title of King of Wu, and when the situation was unstable, he rashly launched the Northern Expedition.
Didn't he just follow the same path as Fu Chai, the former King of Wu?
At this moment, as long as someone from the south takes advantage of the opportunity to kill Yangzhou, Their eyes lit up at the same time, and then they both shook their heads regretfully, "Liu Futong is not a short-sighted person.
The Yuan Dynasty has already been humiliated by him once, so we can't humiliate ourselves again."
"Sangge Shili has already been there once.
Zhu Chongba refused to be fooled at first.
Now he is busy taking the opportunity to sweep Huguang, and he will not look back easily."
"Two prime ministers, have you ever forgotten who once asked the imperial court to be granted the title of King of Yue?"
Li Hanqing did not take Dingzhu and He Weiyi's rejection seriously at all.
He shook the paper fan in his hand and continued to remind him in a low voice.
"You said it was Zhang Shicheng?"
Dingzhu and He Weiwei had a cold war again and responded in unison.
"How is that possible?"
"How is it impossible?"
Li Hanqing did not refute, just asked with a smile.
I remember that when Tuo Tuo's troops entered Huaiyang, Zhang Shicheng cut off his sworn ties with Zhu Butcher and proclaimed himself the King of Wu.
However, as the Huai'an army generals Dong Tuanxiao and Tuotuo were defeated one after another, Zhang Shicheng decisively admitted his mistake to Zhu Tutu, gave up his title of king, and vowed to be the only one who follows the lead of the general manager in this life.
On the surface, the two parties have reconciled, but in actual interactions, they can never go back to the past.
In every subsequent military operation in the south of the Yangtze River, the Huai'an Army secretly took precautions against Zhang Shicheng.
In order to protect himself, Zhang Shicheng also secretly transported food to Dadu several times along the sea route, in order to be pardoned for his original crimes, and was recruited and appointed an official.

It's just that Zhang Shicheng's asking price was too high.
He always wanted to exchange a few ships of grain for a prestigious title like the King of Yue, and he was still unwilling to show enough sincerity to lead his troops to change flags.
I just want to continue to play both sides after getting the title.
The Yuan Dynasty court looked down on this son's appearance of a rat with both ends, and kept delaying his agreement.
If Dingzhu and He Weiwei are now the prime ministers, they send envoys to Hangzhou by sea to confer Zhang Shicheng as the king of Yue and allow him to inherit the throne.
In return, this son may not be willing to be King Goujian of Yue for a while.
"It's impossible that Zhang Shicheng is as timid as a mouse."
After thinking over and over again, Dingzhu and He Weiwei continued to shake their heads.
"If he agreed to send troops, he should have promised Sang Ge Shili at the beginning instead of waiting until now."
"It was then, and now is now.
Back then, Butcher Zhu's soldiers and horses were all gathered in Huaiyang.
If Zhang Shicheng dared to openly collude with the court, Butcher Zhu could immediately send his troops across the river to destroy him."
Li Hanqing curled his lips and reminded with a sneer. .
"But now, all the main forces under Zhu Tuhu are out on the expedition.
Only a single First Army Corps is left behind in Huaiyang.
Half of the soldiers and horses are also assigned to defend Zhao Junyong.
The internal situation is extremely empty.
Moreover, if Zhu Tuhu succeeds in his Northern Expedition, the world will be in ruins." , Zhang Shicheng will no longer be worthy of him.
With his great ambition and talent, he is willing to bow his head and be petty."
This is the most fatal reason.
The more short-sighted and ambitious people are, the less likely they are to give up immediate interests.
Just like a night owl guarding his dead mouse, even though he knows that the passing roc doesn't like it, he still wants to show his teeth and claws at the sky.
Both Dingzhu and He Weiyi looked down upon Zhang Shicheng's character, but they were moved by Li Hanqing's words.
They looked at each other, and for the sake of safety, they questioned one after another, "But if Zhang Shicheng takes the opportunity to become bigger, wouldn't he be another Zhu Chongjiu?"
"If Zhu Chongjiu categorically ordered Xu Da to return to the army, how could Zhang Shicheng succeed?
At most, he would only occupy Yangzhou for a few days and then be driven away again.
For Zhu Chongjiu, this is not much more trouble than chasing away a fly."
"Even if Zhang Shicheng gets all the land in Huaiyang, he still can't be like Zhu Chongjiu."
Regarding the first question, Li Hanqing didn't explain much at all and directly gave the conclusion.
Night owls are night owls, no matter how fat they are, they will never become Kunpeng.
The Yuan Dynasty was able to use his back to harm Zhu Chongjiu this time, and could easily get rid of him in the future.
There was no need to worry that he would take the opportunity to spread his wings and soar into the sky.
As for the second question, Li Hanqing put some thought into it.
"Zhu Chongjiu is not Xu Da.
He is very gambling and likes to take risks in military affairs.
If there is no warning message from Yangzhou, he may still be hesitant.
If Zhang Shicheng dares to attack Yangzhou, his actions will definitely not be the same after he learns about it.
Immediately order Xu Da to return to the army to rescue us, but first use all our strength to fight with Xu Da to defeat us.
They were defeated.
Then he would turn around and deal with Zhang Shicheng.
This was his nature.
After fighting with him for so many years, I knew it very well.
Today, I am willing to issue a military order for Zhang Shicheng to launch a surprise attack on Yangzhou.
The change of situation is not as good as the last general judged, so I asked two adults to take someone Li’s head to sacrifice the flag”:
