Through Yitian: Mingzun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 485

Liu Futong sighed at this time and said: "Not long after your Majesty traveled westward. The great epidemic in the south of the Yangtze River, Guo Dashuai unfortunately died of illness. After that, his son Guo Tianxu inherited the position of Jiedushi under our arrangement."

"Guo Tianxu was grateful for His Majesty's kindness in the past. Although he didn't dare to say that he would obey us, he also showed respect for His Majesty. Although Guo Tianxu had led troops to serve the king before, in order to consolidate the outer front, he led troops to fight against Tuotuo. In the end, the army was defeated and died in Heishiji.”

Speaking of this, Liu Futong snorted coldly, and he couldn't help cursing at this moment: "That Zhu Yuanzhang was ambitious, Guo Zixing treated him well during his lifetime, even married his adopted daughter Ma Xiuying as his wife, and adopted him as his adopted son, the official Thanks to the deputy commander. But he stood by Guo Tianxu's siege of Heishiji before. At that time, if the three of us joined forces, we would be able to repel the Yuan army's attack. However, Guo Tianxu sent more than a dozen letters to Zhu Yuanzhang for help, but Zhu Yuanzhang Still standing still."

"The morale of our army was low before the new defeat, and the combat effectiveness was not very strong. The morale of the Yuan army was high, and it was waiting for work. Our army was defeated. And Guo Tianxu's troops were heavily surrounded. In the end, we were unable to break through the siege and rescue Guo Tianxu. In the end, his body was found on a mass grave, brought back and buried beside Guo Zixing."

Yang Xiao added at this time: "After the death of Marshal Guo, Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to send Xu Da to rescue. After the Yuan army was beaten back, he monopolized all the military supplies on the battlefield. With the support of Ma Xiuying, Guo Zixing The identity of the adopted son has taken over Guo Zixing's original territory and soldiers."

Yang Xiao looked at Zhang Wuji and said, "Master, we must get rid of such heroes in this troubled world."

Zhang Wuji came back to his senses and said: "We need to get rid of it, but not now. Right now our army is newly defeated, our morale is low, and we are exhausted. It is time to recuperate. However, although the Hu soldiers in the Western Regions are strong and strong, they are far away from Yumen On the front line, we can't go straight in the Central Plains. Even if we want to fight now, we can't deal with him."

At this time Liu Futong heard Zhang Wuji mention "Hu Bing of the Western Regions".Can't help but become interested.

Yang Xiao had mentioned to Liu Futong before that Prime Minister Fan Yao still managed a vast territory in the Western Regions based on Guangmingding.It's just that this matter is a matter within the Mingjiao.Although Liu Futong was a close minister of Emperor Longfeng, he was not a follower of the Ming religion.Therefore, Yang Xiao did not mention these things to Liu Futong too much.

Liu Futong saw that Zhang Wuji had brought it up by himself, so he casually asked: "Oh? So we still have reinforcements outside? I just don't know how many troops there are?"

Liu Futong also wanted to take the opportunity to inquire and leave a way out for himself.

Although Liu Futong is still under Zhang Wuji's command at present, and he is also a close minister of Xiantu.

But Yingzhou and Shouxian are his few remaining territories, and this is a place where he will fight all around and not stay for a long time.And the remaining soldiers and horses are also his subordinates.

Before he welcomed Zhang Wuji, he really wanted to "serve the emperor so that he would not be a minister".He wanted to reach a cooperation with Zhang Wuji, and use the banner of the emperor to strengthen his power.

Before Yuan Ting did not attack, Liu Futong did get all kinds of benefits from "Feng Tianzi".But right now, he has been beaten by Yuan Ting to throw away his helmet and armor, and there is only a place to stand in his territory.And the "Son of Heaven" has also been taken away by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Today, Liu Futong doesn't have much money left.It's time for him to think about his future.If Zhang Wuji and the others had no value for cooperation, and would only bring trouble and danger to themselves, Liu Futong had already made plans to seek refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang and then issue an order to expel Yang Xiao and the others.

However, the "Lion of the Western Regions" mentioned by Zhang Wuji aroused his interest.That's why I couldn't help asking.

Seeing Liu Futong's cloudy eyes, Zhang Wuji seemed to have seen his calculations.

So Zhang Wuji made nonsense with mixed truth and falsehood: "This trip to the Western Regions has been very rewarding. The Persian Archbishop has completely surrendered to us. The leader of the Persian Archdiocese, Huo Jia, was also brought back to the Central Plains by me. Right now, she is with my sister who does not regret it. Waiting for others to go to Zhongnan Mountain. Moreover, the Chagatai Khanate has been completely annexed by us. Coupled with Fan Youshi’s painstaking efforts over the years, our Western Region Lions can be said to be well-equipped with fine soldiers. There are 13 elite cavalry, infantry There are more than [-] Hu soldiers."

"Before, I wanted to lead the soldiers of Bianzhou to take Chang'an and other places, and then go east and west to open up Hexi, and finally lead the soldiers from the Western Regions into the Central Plains. In the end, the two armies merged into one place to sweep the eight deserts and unify the Central Plains. But I didn't expect things to go against our wishes. The foundation in the Central Plains has been lost. It seems that this plan is not feasible. But don’t worry, although we are defeated in the Central Plains, if we lose all our footholds, we can still withdraw to the Western Regions to make a comeback.”

Hearing Zhang Wuji's words, Liu Futong's loyalty to Zhang Wuji was instantly full again.It doesn't matter whether there are many soldiers or horses.The important thing is that they still have a place to maneuver outside the domain.And there is the basic board of Mingjiao, and there is Zhang Wuji's core sphere of influence.

Liu Futong said happily: "It turns out that we still have such strength. No wonder the emperor said that 'victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs'."

Zhang Wuji also said with a smile: "Yes. It's just that the far water can't quench the near thirst now. The roads in the Western Regions are far away, and it is difficult to transfer supplies during the period. Moreover, I have issued strict orders to strictly prohibit looting the people. Therefore, our army in the Western Regions is very difficult without foreign aid. It is difficult to break into the interior. Otherwise, this time I will not come here alone, but lead an army to attack Guanzhong."

After appeasing everyone's hearts, Zhang Wuji stood up and said: "Okay! Since everyone is safe and sound, then I can rest assured. Yang Zuoshi, Mr. Liu, you have worked hard this time. During this period of time, we will be in the Let's recuperate here for a while. You can only shrink to protect yourself, and you can't take the initiative to attack the enemy."

Liu Futong and Yang Xiao took orders together.

Seeing that Zhang Wuji was about to get up and leave, Yang Xiao asked, "Where is the leader going?"

Zhang Wuji turned around and said, "Naturally, I'm going to rescue Jiuzhen and the others."

Yang Xiao remonstrated after hearing the words: "Master, the most urgent task right now is to announce to the world that the leader is still alive, so we can calm down the rumors and regroup."

Zhang Wuji let out a long breath, and then said: "Yang Zuoshi, in the current situation, whether I am present or not is not important at all. Even if I issue an order, other people will say that we forged it. Now if we want to repeat For the authority of Su Mingzun, one must show the absolute strength that he had at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain that day. I will take care of this matter myself."

Zhang Wuji turned his body on his back, and said as he left: "Okay, the most important thing for a subject is to obey the emperor's orders. I order you to rest and recuperate well, just obey orders. No need to make noise!"

Just as Zhang Wuji was talking, he walked up to the screen wall in the courtyard. Using his unparalleled internal strength, combined with the powerful Vajra Finger and Yi Yang Finger, he left a prescription on the screen wall with his bare hands.

After Zhang Wuji finished writing, he jumped up and flew away, and the echo of Zhang Wuji echoed in the air, "Decoct the good medicine on time, and you will be cured in half a month."

Liu Futong stepped forward and delicately touched the round fingerprints on the screen wall.It was rumored before that Zhang Wuji was a god and man, but Liu Futong felt that it was a bit exaggerated.What I saw with my own eyes now really lives up to its reputation.

He was also a little thankful that he was right when he was in the team.To be an enemy of such a person, Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid that he will live to the end.
