Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1757

"Your Ming army is about to lose, right?" Zhang Xiu said suddenly.

"Why do you say that?"

Min Wu's pupils shrank a bit, but his expression was calm, and he asked indifferently.

"Although I don't know the news, I can't understand the overall situation of the world, but I still understand a little bit, and that is the battlefield!"

Zhang Xiu said calmly: "In this battle, the Ming army fought too hastily, and the rush was unexpected. The reason why they are so anxious can only explain one point. The Ming army is facing a huge danger and must be resolved first. If the Yan army is defeated, then what can make the Ming army so anxious, I think about it, only the south!"

He pointed to the south and said: "I heard that the Ming army is in the south, the Wei army and the Wu army are also in a war, so is it because you were defeated in the south, so you continue to return to defense?"

"If the army is defeated, how long can your Ming army last?"

"Although the Ming court is stronger than any of the princes under the Han Dynasty, it may not be stronger than the Han court. If you lose, no matter if it is the Wei army, Wu army, or Yan army, they will attack you together!"

"At that time, even if there are natural guards in Yizhou in the southwest, I am afraid they will not be able to stop them. At that time, your Ming court will only be defeated!"

Zhang Xiu analyzed a lot, but his eyes were fixed on Min Wu, but Min Wu didn't have the slightest expression, as if he was hearing.

In fact, Min Wu's reaction was the same as his heart.

Southern battlefield?

He thought about it, and felt that it was unlikely that even if he lost, the Ming army would not fall into the situation Zhang Xiu said, because Zhang Xiu would never know how strong the Ming army's cards were.

"General Zhang, if what you think is the truth, the world is no longer the Han Dynasty, nor our Ming court, but your court!"

Min Wu sneered, and said: "The strength of our Ming army is well known in the world. Now our Ming army is taking the initiative to attack. We are fighting on the third front. We are fighting non-stop with the Wu army's navy in the East China Sea. On the Yuzhou front, we are fighting bloody battles with the Wei army. The strength of the two princes is to allow our Majesty to lead the main force to destroy the Yan Kingdom!"

"Mie Yan?"

Zhang Xiu's complexion changed slightly.

He was still a little restless.

He was silent for a while, his eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Min Wu: "General Min Wu speaks Chinese very fluently!"

"is it?"

Min Wu smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I grew up in the world of Han people. I may not be able to speak Qiang language, but I am very fluent in Chinese!"

"You could have been a Qiang king, but you could have been a wolf king. Why do you have to be a dog for the Ming court? I don't understand!"

Zhang Xiu changed his strategy, and he focused on attacking the heart.

"People need to know how vast the world is, so that they will not be so short-sighted in life!" Min Wu's words have several truths. This is some of his experience from studying for many years. In terms of knowledge, he is comparable to the achievements of most scholars. , It is precisely because he has learned more that his thoughts are different from those of the Qiang people, and he has embarked on a different path.

"I believe that one day the Great Ming will make the world peaceful, and I also believe that the Great Ming will make the people, including our Qiang people, live a better life, so I am willing to fight for it!"

The corner of Min Wu's mouth raised a playful smile, looked at Zhang Xiu, and said, "Is General Zhang satisfied with this answer?"

"Been taught a lesson!"

Zhang Xiu smiled wryly.

He seemed a little silent, his eyes were dim, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

However, Min Wu knew that Zhang Xiu was obviously struggling at this time, and he needed strength to support his determination.

"General Zhang, do you still remember your uncle's death in battle?"

Min Wu asked.

"A little bit!"

Zhang Xiu didn't deny it: "If I hadn't come to a last resort, I would have begged for mercy from my enemy!"

"But you know very well in your heart that if you want to care about this hatred, he won't be able to stay in the Ming army. That's why you hesitate, and that's why you find more reasons to convince yourself!"

Min Wudao: "And you also know in your heart that no matter what situation the Ming army encounters, in this battle, our Ming army will definitely fight against the Yan army. It is unknown whether Liu Xuande can walk out of Shangdang, and it is impossible. More than [-]%, and even if he can leave Shangdang, Yan Kingdom will not be able to sink for long, your ship is already sinking, so you must find a way to survive!"

"Even if I surrender, will Da Mingzi be lenient?"

Zhang Xiu said coldly.

This is the root of his hesitation.

He was afraid that one day he would lose his military power and be settled by Empress Mu Jingqiu.

"Humph!"

Min Wu snorted coldly, pointed at himself, and asked Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang, who am I!"

"King Qiang?"

"I am the king of the Qiang people, and your majesty can tolerate it. You are a Xiliang person, and I am afraid that your majesty will not tolerate it. Besides, when Zhang Ji died in battle, it was because you hated your majesty. To your majesty, you are boring and important. If it weren't for this The key to the battle is in your Xiliang army, I am afraid that His Majesty doesn't care about you at all!"

Min Wudao: "In my Ming army, rewards and punishments are clearly defined. If you have meritorious service, you can't gain a foothold. As for Your Majesty, don't think too stingy. It is for the good of the world. Your Majesty can tolerate the world. This is my son of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Xiu looked at Min Wu with a gloomy gaze, feeling a little puzzled and puzzled. What he was puzzled and puzzled about was that Min Wu, a Qiang man, could regard Tianzi Mujing as his belief. What a terrible thing this is.

Suddenly, facing the Ming court and the Ming army in his heart, he had some reevaluations.

"It's time to say it, so-and-so has already said it, you asked me to come, just to let me tell you something, now General Zhang, you need to make a decision!"

Min Wu reminded: "There is a saying in Chinese that since ancient times, people who have not reached the shore at both ends will not end well. If you don't make a decision, then the tens of thousands of athletes under your command, no matter who wins, will come out alive. Party!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu's pupils changed color, and he took a deep breath. After a while, he said quietly: "I thought Tan Laizi was already good at tricks and eloquence, but I didn't expect that you, who led soldiers to fight, could understand people's hearts so well. The Ming court really Talented people come forth in large numbers!"

"you flatter me!"

Min Wu smiled.

When it comes to talents, he is not self-effacing, but in the Ming court, he doesn't think he is very capable.

In addition, if you understand people's hearts, no one can compare with Your Majesty.

When he forced himself to surrender, when he made himself step up to King Qiang but did not dare to be disrespectful to the Ming court, he sometimes felt that Mu Jing was a devil, a devil that he could not overcome in his heart.

"You're right, you have to return to the side!"

Zhang Xiu couldn't help but sighed.

Half his life as a soldier, a lifetime of fighting, he fought from Beiliang to the Central Plains, and was driven back to Beiliang. Dong Zhuo died in battle, the Beiliang Group fell apart, and his uncle died in battle.

Now, he once again faces a choice.

All the hatred, all the reluctance, seemed to have become a little insignificant. In front of him, it was the life and death of tens of thousands of his generals.

If it was said that he was forced to surrender to the Ming court in Xihe back then, then he has no regrets about his final decision now.

"I'll ask General Min Wu one last thing!"

Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth and said.

"ask!"

"How is the situation on the battlefield today?" Zhang Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at Min Wu: "Although a lot of news I got is good for the Ming army, but I know that you control the situation on the battlefield now, and the news may not It's all right, our scouts can't even get close to the main battlefield!"

"You are not afraid that I will lie to you!"

"Even if you cheat me, I can always get revenge in the future, but don't ask. If I make a mistake in the future, I'm afraid I'll let myself down!" Zhang Xiulue said shamelessly.

"Ha ha!"

Min Wu laughed loudly: "We Qiang people and Xiliang people have been fighting for I don't know how many years, it's really rare to have your trust today!"

He thought for a while, and then said: "Our army has surrounded the Yan army in the middle, and the main forces of the Yan army's east and west lines have been suppressed by us, but time is very important to us, because the Yan army is in the north. There is a cavalry, the Xianbei cavalry, they will go south to rescue, which makes our Ming army seem passive, if we can't defeat the Yan army in a short time, then we will face a tug of war!"

Zhang Xiu heard the words, but his heart was a little more open. Of course, he also knew that Min Wu might not have said everything, but this bit of news was enough for him to make a judgment.

"If I help you break through the Yan army's western front, then wouldn't I have made a great contribution!"

Zhang Xiu said.

"Ok!"

Min Wu nodded: "Use a point to break the surface, and a little bit can break it for a while. Once the western front collapses, the Yan army will only be defeated here!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Xiu stood up and said to Min Wu: "If you were asked to trust me now, you probably wouldn't do it, but if you were asked to give me a way in, would you?"

"meeting!"

"Aren't you afraid of my rebellion?"

"If you turn against the water, there will be problems on the western front. If that's the case, why don't I take a gamble!"

"What a Minwu, I underestimated you!" Zhang Xiu laughed: "With your courage, if I, Zhang Xiu, rebel, I'm afraid even I will be ashamed!"

"It's life and death!"

Min Wudao: "This battle is about the peace of the world, any risk is worth it!"

"Okay, since that's the case, let me tell you another news. I not only have [-] cavalry here, but also my [-] main infantry are already in the upper reaches of the Mingzi River, less than [-] miles away from Honglang Mountain. In one day, I can Raid!"

Zhang Xiu said.

"really?"

Min Wu's eyes are burning brightly, if this is the case, then the western front will make a great contribution: "No, the spies just reported back a day ago, and they are still two hundred miles away!"

"Although your spies keep an eye on it, you are not as familiar with the terrain in the northwest of Shangdang as we are. The mountain road here is rugged, and the official road takes two days, but the mountain road can be completed in one day!"

Zhang Xiu said: "Get out of the way. I will attack Honglang Mountain and restrain the main force of the Yan army on the western front, and then you will go through directly. In this way, you don't need to guard against me, and I don't need to guard against you, as long as you believe in me That's fine, even if I join forces with Yan Jun, you still have time to defend, don't you?"

He couldn't pray for the Ming army to trust him from the beginning, this was the only way he could think of to make meritorious service.

"it is good!"

Min Wu nodded, and said: "I will go back immediately to rectify the soldiers and horses, and then release a road for you to pass. Tomorrow morning, you must attack the main force of the Yan army on the western front at Honglang Mountain. The battle has begun. I believe you , the battle has not started, you and I are the enemy!"

"A word is settled!"

Zhang Xiu stretched out her hand.

There was an agreement between the two backhands. This is an oath between generals. As for whether they can abide by it, it is still unknown.

........................

After Min Wu returned to the barracks in the middle, he immediately withdrew all his troops.

"Advance immediately and join the First Sun and Moon Army!"

Min Wu said.

"General, do you trust Zhang Xiu?"

Gerdo squinted, a little suspicious.

"At this time, whether you believe it or not, either he will attack me or he will attack the main force of the Yan army in Honglang Mountain, but since we want to gamble, we must let go of our courage!"

Min Wu can become King Qiang instead of Gerdo because he is more courageous and decisive than Gerdo.

Gerdo is good at planning, but he has the generality of a counselor, thinking too much, making it difficult to make a decision.

"After joining the first army of the sun and the moon, Yue Ang!"

"exist!"

"Lead the White Horse Battalion to stay and supervise the battle against Zhang Xiu. You can't press too tightly, you can't lean too close, just keep an eye on it. Once Zhang Xiu rebels, you should immediately send someone to report and then flee confidently. There is no need to resist!" Min Wu said: "I lead the main force, and the Sun and Moon First Army, go straight through, hit the battlefield in the middle, and destroy Cao Mengde!"

If they could break through the Yan army's defense, they would first enter the Yan army's headquarters, and then take down the Yan army's center, and win the battle in one fell swoop. Thinking about it, he became a little excited.

"promise!"

Yue Ang nodded.

He is not afraid, even if he is only a few thousand soldiers, but in terms of running for his life, he is not inferior to anyone.

....................................

Under the same night light, the main battlefield is to the east.

Zhang Liao, the chief general of the Ming army, stood on his horse and looked at the sky. The night sky was very bright, with a bright moon and stars, even without a torch, it looked a little bright.

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

The drums of war sounded.

"General, Ju Yi has led the main force to attack!"

"Explore again!"

"Yes!"

"I'm going to supervise the battle!" Xi Zhicai rode beside Zhang Liao.

"Be careful!"

Zhang Liao looked at Xi Zhicai, and said softly, "In this battle, I'm clearly targeting Ju Yi, so don't put yourself on the battlefield!"

"rest assured!"

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "I am better than you in terms of escape!"

"I'm just afraid that Your Majesty will lose one of the Zhaoming Pavilion ministers to settle accounts with me!" Zhang Liao also smiled, and responded, "I can't afford this responsibility!"

"Don't look at the prosperity of the world, what face do I have to go to Jiuyou!"

Xi Zhicai looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and rode away: "This battle, I, Ming, will definitely win!"

"Definitely!"

"Definitely!"

"Definitely!"

The enthusiasm of a scholar quickly infected all the soldiers of the Ming army. Their eyes were red, and they roared with fighting spirit.

"Must win!"

These two words also appeared in Zhang Liao's pupils.

This battle is already a matter of life and death.

He has to win.

He can't afford to lose.

Even if you work hard, you must win, and there can be no second result.
