Chapter 0704 Intrigue
"Kong said Chengren, Meng said to be righteous, the Yuan army is coming, and it is time for me to be righteous!" Zuo Zhiming said, but why did he feel so frowning? No, it should be said that he was nervous. If he walked into danger alone, as long as he could lead the 50,000 troops to die together, he would definitely make a profit.
"I hope this city wall can be blocked, otherwise I will really become a sinner!" It may be a feeling of being close to the hometown and timid. Anyway, the closer the Yuan army is, it becomes more and more difficult to calm down. He is not afraid of his plan being unsuccessful, but is afraid that after so long, the mechanisms left by the Qin Dynasty will still be effective, and whether it will really not flood Chi Mingcheng.
"Dongdong...!!"
"Come in!" Zuo Zhiming tilted his head slightly, looked at the door, and a soldier, a Mongolian, walked into the door.
"I have seen Lord Zuo. Those adults outside the city need to come over small. They need to prepare enough food and grass for 50,000 troops for three months, and order to recruit 30,000 people for logistics needs!!"
Zuo Zhiming didn't care about the straightforward tone of the Mongolian soldiers. What really made Zuo Zhiming change color was the content. He glared at the Mongolian soldiers and said, "It's impossible. The food and grass have been prepared for three months. There are not many food and grass in Chiming City. Also, 30,000 people, why don't you just pull all the people in Chiming City out to be cannon fodder for them? Don't think I don't know what they have to do! Go back and tell them, this is impossible!"
"Master Zuo!" The Mongolian soldier was obviously captured by Zuo Zhiming's momentum, but then he felt the other party's identity and felt anger and angry. He said: "You must remember that this is what Captain Yeldorovan means!"
Zuo Zhiming became stiff in an instant, not mentioning Yeldoro's race. Not to mention Yeldoro's position is higher than that of him, but only the military generals of the Yuan Dynasty were more valued than civil officials, which was enough to suppress Zuo Zhiming.
Zuo Zhiming had red eyes and no longer had a gentle look. He said with a stubborn mouth: "I am a civil servant, and Yeldoro has no right to order me. I will refuse unless there is the order of His Majesty Genghis Khan!"
"You...!!" The Mongolian soldiers were stunned. They looked at Zuo Zhiming in disbelief. They could not figure out how a weak scholar who had no power could dare to commit suicide like this? Aren't he afraid that Lord Yeldoro would cut his head with a knife? This is no longer something that he, a Mongolian soldier, could decide.
"Okay!" The Mongolian soldiers left angrily, not taking Zuo Zhiming seriously at all. They obviously planned to go back to find parents to support them.
"Bah, villain!" Zuo Zhiming spat fiercely, and a little worried appeared in his heart. He would definitely offend Yerdoro if he pushed back so hard. And there was such a villain who added fuel to the fire. I think Yerdoro would not let him go.
"These damn Mongolians are really too bullying. It seems that they have to think of a way. They can't let the people of Chi Mingcheng go out of the city to bury them. Well. Contact the Xihe Army and find Huwang again. I think it can delay some time!" At this time, Zuo Zhiming completely lost his dull and stubborn scholar appearance just now, and the old fox's temper flashed by. He had already made up his mind.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye. Zhou Bo led 30,000 Xihe Army to clean up the nearby areas and quickly gathered towards Chi Mingcheng. Among these 30,000 troops, only five thousand could really fight the Yuan army. The others were newly recruited soldiers, and they didn't even have time to train for a few days.
Zhang Xiu fought five more games with the Mongolian vanguard army, all of which were particularly fierce, especially in the last game. It seemed that in order to intimidate the Xihe Army, the Mongolian cavalry let go and fought completely with Zhang Xiu. As a result, both sides suffered heavy losses. Although the Mongolian cavalry suffered heavy losses, the affiliated tribal cavalry almost lost all of them, and they also suffered more than one thousand losses. Zhang Xiu did not get it well. Three thousand Xihe elite cavalry returned with a tragic victory, leaving only 1,600 soldiers to fight, seriously injured more than 200 people, and the rest were all killed in battle!
Let’s talk about Zuo Zhiming, the past two days have been quite stressful. Yeldoro and Hubiye are obviously not guys with good tempers. On the same day, they took a large group of cavalry to Chiming City, showing a look of not giving up. Fortunately, Zuo Zhiming made a quick decision at that time. Before Yeldoro took the next move, Zhang Xiu rushed over angrily. The Mongolian Iron Cavalry took advantage of the time when Zhang Xiu left and scattered to attack various cities. However, Zhang Xiu was a little angry and immediately drove the other party back like a sheep, but he had no choice but to do anything about these cunning Mongolian Iron Cavalry. How could Zhang Xiu be willing?
Seeing Zhang Xiu coming, Yeldoro could only give up the idea of coercing Chi Mingcheng and concentrate on dealing with this violent opponent.
After Zhang Xiu left, Yeldoro's Mongolian cavalry had a chance to rest, and he also remembered Zuo Zhiming, a guy who made him lose face. At this time, Zuo Zhiming hoped to take advantage of the power of the tiger, and the fox pretended to be a tiger's might, forcing Yeldoro to not dare to do anything randomly, but he had not come back yet.
In the end, Zuo Zhiming was brave enough to forge the documents and threaten Hu Biye not to return to the camp. He was able to survive the disaster even more and more. It was not until the true documents arrived at the end.
As for why Zuo Zhiming was so sure that Hu Bilai would be biased towards his side, it was indeed because Zuo Zhiming knew that Hu Bizhi would definitely see him more far-reachingly than Yerdoro, and was not in his position and did not plan his own affairs. In order to ensure that Hu Bilai arrived smoothly and had time to rest, Yerdoro put his mind on Chi Mingcheng, hoping to get Zuo Zhiming to hand over a batch of cannon fodder to beat him.
It is different if the tiger must come. It is not that the tiger must come and cares about the death of the Han people, but that Chi Mingcheng is a hero, and Zuo Zhiming was also a person who made contributions to the Yuan Dynasty. As the only city that has not been defeated, if Chi Mingcheng treats the hero in this way, will it force the rebellion of Chi Mingcheng, and not to mention whether it will inevitably cause the hearts of all Han ministers.
This would definitely not withstand such torture for the Yuan Dynasty, which was about to storm. Therefore, no matter how the tiger would come, it would be impossible to stand in his position like Yeldoro.
No matter how angry Hu Bilai was in his heart or how he cursed Zuo Zhiming, his instructions were not delayed, and he finally failed to force Zuo Zhiming to a dead end. It was really a desperate situation. Zuo Zhiming had already figured out the nature of the Mongolians. The more he was like this, the less he would be without doubt.
Zuo Zhiming knew very well that even if he and Yeldoro turned against each other and fought, Hu Bi would not attack him after he came, but would be comforted. As for Zuo Zhiming, who had settled the accounts in the autumn, he didn't care at all.
