Chapter 172 Zhang Hongfan's Opportunity (1)
The staff were also smart people. When they saw A Shu suddenly stopped talking, they knew that there must be some ulterior motives. So they did not continue to ask questions, but looked at A Shu.
A Shu's face was gloomy and after a while, he finally sighed, "Forget it, since he dares to write like this, then he has already been sure. Why should I be a villain? He would give him everything he wanted. The person who came backed up the battle report and sent it together after the war."
A Shu didn't want to argue with Alitai. If he followed his thoughts, he really wanted to kill this damn Alitai, but he knew that this was impossible. Some things were not something that could be done so simply. No one knew what Alitai wanted to do. In the eyes of everyone, he was just a playboy. For some people, the best result was to become a playboy. As for fighting, how many things can a person change? As long as he doesn't make a fuss, it's a credit, and now giving him some benefits is very consistent with those people's wishes. If he really put these things that should have been placed in the dark on the table, he would definitely become the target of public criticism. At that time, not only would he die, but all his relatives and friends would also die. This is not the result he wanted, so it's better to turn a blind eye and let him go.
But Zhang Shun had already returned to Fancheng Mountain District and ran back easily amid the siege he had set up. This was a fact that he could not accept. Zhang Shun might not really change any results alone, but how should he save his face?
"I must kill this Zhang Shun, I must kill him!" He gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "I don't believe that he, a small Zhang Shun, can really escape from my Wu Finger Mountain."
However, at this time, an aide suddenly came up, "Master, you can't be too hasty about this."
"What does it mean?" A Shu couldn't help but stare at her eyes.
"Actually, the situation is very obvious. Zhang Shun has returned to Fancheng area, surrounded by mountains. Although their number is already much higher, after obtaining the military rations from Alitai, they are enough to survive this cold winter. Spring is about to enter, and wild beasts begin to appear, and there will be a lot of food on the mountain. After the food problem is solved, it is impossible for us to trap him to death! And we can't do it even if we want to search the mountains and catch him. He now has new weapons, and there are many people in his hands, and our army cannot be dispersed, otherwise we will be defeated one by one. At that time, we will still lose troops and lose generals? Instead of doing this, it is better to order Bayantule to guard Jixian, and we will put all our energy on Xiangyang, and the city cannot be dragged down."
A Shu looked at the staff member, thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Is there still no progress in the war in Xiangyang recently?"
"No! General Ali Hague has used all kinds of means, but there is no effect at all. Lu Wenhuan seemed to be crazy and defended with all his might. Although our Hui cannon is powerful, he is still helpless in the face of a strong city like Xiangyang."
"What are these idiots doing? By the way, did Zhang Hongfan come yesterday? Where is he now? Let him come to see me immediately!" A Shu finally remembered that he had sent Zhang Hongfan to ask questions. He had left him for two days. It was time to meet him.
The aide immediately went out to pass the order. After a while, he saw Zhang Hongfan coming hurriedly. The aide immediately stepped forward and bowed, "General Zhang is coming so fast."
Zhang Hongfan immediately returned the favor and said, "I have a good word from Mr. Lu. I know that if it weren't for Mr. Lu, the Grandmaster would still not remember the future."
The staff member also smiled and said, "There is no need to be such a matter. If the general is invited, please go quickly."
The moment Zhang Hongfan passed by the man, a disgusting feeling in his heart was involuntarily. He really wanted to draw his sword and cut off the guy's head, but he knew that he could not do this. He had been waiting for this opportunity for too long and spent countless money and time. Although the other party's asking price was very high this time, he finally got things done. As for the next thing, it depends on his own.
A Shu still doesn't like Zhang Hongfan, so he ignored Zhang Hongfan and asked casually what the situation in Xiangyang was. Zhang Hongfan also answered truthfully and explained all the methods he used. In fact, if you can't take Xiangyang down, you can't blame them for being useless. The Yuan army has already done everything he can do.
The Hui guns were bombed at the beginning, but the city walls of Xiangyang were too strong, and the stone bombs that the Hui guns could use were exhausted and no substantial breakthroughs were made. The Longweizhou could not send them more stone bombs, which also caused the Hui guns to fall into an invalid state. In the end, there was no way for Zhang Hongfan to ask the soldiers to throw the rotten corpses into the city, hoping to spread the plague, but it is still winter, so this method is really useless, and Lu Wenhuan and others burned the corpses directly and easily resolved.
The siege made no progress. The Yuan army made great sacrifices but still did not shake the city at all. At the beginning, Lu Shisheng personally defended the city, and later Lu Wenhuan moved to the top of the city to live, which also made the Song army's morale rise, and he repelled the Yuan army's offensive again and again. Until now, the Yuan army has basically exhausted its morale and reserves, and if it continues, it will only give away the heads.
"Okay, don't say anything more! It's all nonsense after all! You really disappointed me. It seems that I still have to go back in person to solve it?" A Shu really couldn't listen. He didn't want to listen to his subordinates complaining. If it was really that easy, wouldn't he have already fought? What's the use of saying these things now?
Zhang Hongfan also heard A Shu's dissatisfaction, but he knelt forward and crawled half a step. "Master, we fight hard, but we are not without those opportunities in Xiangyang. What we lack now is the east wind. I dare to say that as long as you give a gust of east wind, Xiangyang will be able to set off day and night." He had known that A Shu looked down on him, but trust is a funny favor, and there are too many examples of not seeking it.
Originally, he didn't need to do this, just be himself quietly, but Zhang Hongfan didn't want this, he wanted more, and Xiangyang was his first goal, so he was ready for this, so he would never miss such an opportunity.
