Under the light, Zhang Shicheng's tall figure was a little depressed. He remembered that he rushed into the salt field with eighteen people in one fell swoop and chopped the Tartars to death. From that moment on, he had no match for the Tartars. I don't know whether it was God's blessing or his good luck, but the 18 people's righteous deeds destroyed all the wealthy families around him and set fire to many large mansions.

After that, some people in the salt field heard his name and signed up to join. They also recommended him for the sake of the master. More than a hundred people gathered together and "conquered" Taizhou in an instant. Then, he broke Xinghua and occupied the important town of Gaoyou. Victory is so easy!"

"Hey...?" Thinking of these past events, Zhang Shicheng felt a sense of pride, which was a kind of heroic pride, but at this moment, Zhang Shicheng felt a sense of despair at the end of the road. In the past three months, the Tartars advanced from three sides of water and land, and won all the battles, destroying Taizhou and Yancheng one after another. Now they are even dispatching troops to pacify Liuhe. Seeing that the Tartars are in a siege, he has to lead his troops back to Gaoyou City.

"I didn't expect Tuotuo to be so powerful?" Zhang Shicheng sighed softly at the swaying candlelight, and murmured again after a moment: "If I had known Tuotuo was so powerful, I should have listened to his subordinates' suggestions and surrendered earlier?"

"Oh... it's a pity that it's all too late?" Zhang Shicheng heard the sound of killing outside the mansion, and a sense of regret surged in his heart. If he hadn't been too arrogant and could not wait to be king and bandit, how could he attract the army of the Tartars? How could the soldiers who had defected to the past die under the butcher knife of the Tartars?

"Oh... it's a pity that everything is too late?" I remembered that a few days ago, he followed his subordinates' advice, raised a white flag, and expressed his intention to surrender. Unexpectedly, the old man Tuotuo did not agree, and threatened to slaughter Gaoyoucheng, slaughter all the people of Gaoyou to set off a warning in Jiangnan.

"Hmph, Tuotuo is too much, the left and right is dead. Even if I, Zhang Shicheng, die, I, will fight you Tuotuo to the end... "Under the swaying candlelight, there is a murderous aura in Zhang Shicheng's eyes.

But soon, this murderous aura flashed by, and Zhang Shicheng slowly turned around. Under the candlelight, a cheek full of domineering in the past was so lonely and depressed at this moment. He slowly turned his gaze on a sand table.

This sand table is a simple sand table made by my second brother Zhang Shixin some time ago. My second brother is both literary and military, and can indeed help him do some big things. If he is lucky enough to retreat the army of the Dog Tartars this time, the power of the Great Zhou Kingdom can be handed over to him with confidence.

The light shone on the sand table, and piles of sand dunes were pushed up from the simple sand table. Looking at the mounds that surrounded Gaoyou City, Zhang Shicheng sighed again, "Tutuo is worthy of being the mainstay of the Tartar court. This law-abiding is really unremitting and can be attacked? Hundreds of thousands of troops were divided into three groups from Taizhou, Yancheng, and Gaoyou became a tripod. There were hundreds of thousands of troops from Dong Chuanxiao's army besieged Baoqing from the waterway. Such deployments are connected from beginning to end, and can attack when advancing and defend when retreating, and responding to each other!... It's really powerful...?"

"Dongdongdongdong...Dongdongdongdong...?"

At this moment, a sound of footsteps rang outside the mansion. Since the millions of Tatar troops besieged Gaoyou City, all the soldiers went to the top of Gaoyou City to fight the enemy. Even Zhang Shixin, the prime minister of the Great Zhou Kingdom, guarded the top of the city and did not dare to be negligent. Therefore, no one came for a long time in this usually lively imperial palace.

"Dongdongdongdong...Dongdongdongdong...?"************

The footsteps came one after another, and soon, Zhang Shicheng stood up and glanced at him. Under the candlelight, his sword eyebrows jumped, and his eyes stared at the closed red lacquer door with a chill.

"Dong!"

The heavy door was pushed open by a powerful force, and a middle-aged man wearing armor and holding a long sword rushed in with a wind.

"Shixin...?" Zhang Shicheng was shocked and screamed in shock, "Is it the Tartars attacked in?"

"Brother...good news...good news...?" Zhang Shixin walked as hard as the wind, and his bearded face was even more smiling.

"Good news...?" Zhang Shicheng was slightly stunned. Since the Tartars attacked the city, he has not heard any good news in the past three months. What else can be found now?

Seeing Zhang Shicheng's expression of disapproval, Zhang Shixin laughed and walked to Zhang Shicheng, grabbed the tea bowl on the tea table beside Zhang Shicheng, raised his face, rumbled for a while, and drank a large bowl of camellia clean. Then he wiped his mouth, breathed, and said with a smile: "Brother, good news... do you know, Tartars...?"

"What's wrong with the Tartars?" Zhang Shicheng was shocked. Although he expected that he would come this day sooner or later, he still couldn't accept it when he really came.

"The leader of the Tartars, Tuotuo died...?"

Zhang Shicheng was shocked and said, "What?"

Zhang Shixin's eyes were filled with excitement and joy, and he used all his strength and said, "Brother, Tutuo is dead? Tutuo is dead...?"

"Is this... the news true..." Zhang Shicheng looked disbelief and stared at Zhang Shixin nervously.

Zhang Shixin nodded firmly and said, "Brother, it's true. The treacherous minister of Hama has been fighting with Tuotuo openly and secretly. This time, while Tuotuo led his troops to attack our Dazhou, he instructed his disciples and supervised the censor Yuan Sai, in fact, to impeach Tuotuo, saying that he "had no success in three months, and had no achievements, and spent the country's wealth as his own use, and half of the officials of the court thought he would follow him." Emperor Shun of Yuan, who was soft-hearted, listened to the slander of the slander and issued an edict to reprimand Tuotuo for "sitting for the enemy to play, reducing elite troops every day, consuming the country's money and food, and lying to lure the court's titles", and stripping Tuotuo of military power."

"Take it seriously?" Zhang Shicheng almost jumped up in shock. The only powerful figure in the entire Yuan Dynasty was Tuotuo. Once this person left, hundreds of thousands of troops were in Zhang Shicheng's eyes. It was simply impossible to attack. Once this person died, the danger of Gaoyou City could be solved!
