Chapter 189: The New Beginning of the Great Song Dynasty
Fatty Dong knew exactly what Zhang Shun wanted to fight back. He had been raising supplies for this matter recently. Now that he finally heard Zhang Shun say these two words, he couldn't help but tremble all over.
Xiangfan has always been a taboo here. After all, the first group of Zhang Shunjun's subjects came from that place. There were quite a few people who fought hard for the city for many years. In the end, although they voluntarily gave up the city, it was no different from being stolen from them. Therefore, no one is willing to mention this place, after all, it basically means shame.
Now Zhang Shun regarded this shame as the first place he wanted to take. Fatty Dong felt that he had suddenly lost several pounds. This was a real battle to avenge his shame.
"Don't worry, the Grand Governor, I will definitely do my logistics. Even if I treat my pants, I will definitely take down Xiangfan."
The news spread immediately after Fatty Dong left. Zhang Shun didn't care about this at all. He knew that it would take a lot of effort to achieve this goal, at least it would take until the cannons were made. He had to wait and be patient. Although his army had tens of thousands of people, it was absolutely impossible to defeat a huge and fierce empire. However, he had the patience and could wait. It has been almost three years since he came here, but the days were getting better and better day by day, and the environment was getting better and better day by day. He knew that he could definitely wait until that day came.
But Zhang Shun can wait, but others are not so patient. The day after Fatty Dong revealed the news, everyone went crazy. Everyone knew that their chance had come and they could no longer wait.
The first one to come was Niu Fu. Zhang Shun and Guo Fu just woke up and heard that Niu Fu had arrived. Zhang Shun couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to Guo Fu, "Get some breakfast and deliver it to the front. It seems that you can't have breakfast with your wife this morning."
Guo Fu also laughed and said, "Let's eat together, what you said is what I want to know. You really have set your target in Xiangfan?"
Zhang Shun nodded, "This place is a spike in our hearts. If we cannot retake it, we will feel like we have lost our hometown. In fact, there is our root. Besides, Your Majesty cannot be an emperor here. He must have a similar place. Xiangyang can be used as a place to live for the time being, and it runs through the north and south. As long as it is retaken back, it will prevent the Tartars from fully investing in the war below. What's more, Xiangyang is a good place with a high city and deep water. It is also good for us to regard that place as our base camp."
Guo Fu shook his head gently and said with a smile, "You are really so confident? I'm not saying that you can't take back Xiangyang. I believe that as long as you think, you can take this place alone, but have you ever thought about it? If the emperor is placed there, will he sit steadily in the future? Then he will be attacked from both sides. What should he do at that time?"
Zhang Shun nodded in admiration, "Mrs. She is indeed a female Zhuge. She can see the key point at a glance. I'm afraid that even the ministers in the court cannot see this problem clearly. Do you believe it? Jiang Wanli and the others must be happy about this news now. In fact, this is why I asked Fatty Dong to spread the news."
"What do you mean?"
"Actually, I really don't look down on the world of Song Dynasty, but many people don't think so. They still think that I am thinking of this court. Since this is the case, I will show them a situation of death. After I cut off Xiangyang, I will divide the Tatars' army into two, so that they can't take care of each other, and the main force of the Tatars will be pushed by me in Jiangbei, but the remaining Tartars behind me will depend on Zhang Shijie and Jiang Wanzai and others. I want to see if they can't even deal with Zhang Hongfan's remaining soldiers."
"What's the result? What do you want?"
"If they can win, then I am willing to hand over all the weapons in my hands to them, but if they can't even beat these people, then I won't let them get anything. I'll save the trouble in the future. I'll solve these troubles with my own hands."
After hearing this, Guo Fu suddenly showed a very playful smile, then nodded slightly and said, "No matter what you want to do, I am the same person as you. Please remember that no matter where you go, you must bring me."
"See Madam and General."
When Niu Fu saw Zhang Shun, his eyes were red like a peach, and he looked like he was not sleeping. "Grandmaster, I heard you want to attack Xiangfan, is it true?"
Zhang Shun smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is true."
Niu Fu immediately stood up when he heard this and actually swept the floor to Zhang Shun. "Grandmaster, if it is true, then I, Niu Fu, thank you on behalf of all the brothers and the people who died in battle. Next, I will kowtow to you on behalf of the living!" He was also a tough guy who did what he said. After that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Zhang Shun.
Zhang Shun was startled and immediately went to support him. At this time, Guo Fu happened to come out with breakfast. When he saw this, he knew that Niu Fu must be doing something again. He couldn't help but smile.
Niu Fu stood up again, but his face was covered in tears. It turned out that after the kneeling just now, he was already crying, "Grandmaster, you know who I, Lao Niu, are you, you should also know that I have thrown my life in Xiangfan. So many people are dead, but I am alive. Every night I can dream of standing on the top of Fancheng. I am almost crazy in such a day. I really want to stand there again. We have too many accounts to settle with the Tartars."
Zhang Shun smiled bitterly and pulled him in his seat, "Old Niu, do we brothers still have to say this over the years? Can I not know what you are thinking about? Xiangfan is not your own cemetery, and I and my elder brother are buried there. My whole family, the whole village, the old and young, the old and the younger, the brothers, the wife and the children are buried there. Do you think there is anyone in this world who wants to go back to that place more than me? No matter what you say, I also want to go back. Not only do I have to go back, but I must go back openly and never leave again. From then on, there will be the starting point of the new Song Dynasty."
