After squirting out the old blood, Zhang Hongfan fell straight to the ground and couldn't get up. Liu Yanzhi didn't expect that this guy could not withstand the stimulation, so he had to leave in disappointment. He suddenly came back from the middle of the passage. How could Zhang Hongfan and other characters be damaged by a few words? It must be a fraud.

He guessed right. Zhang Hongfan was a general in command of the army. As the saying goes, "Love is not in charge of soldiers." He is as hard as iron. How could he faint because of the disasters suffered by his children and grandchildren who had never met before fifty years later? Even if his Zhang family was killed today, he would not shed a single tear.

It was just because Zhang Hongfan realized Liu Yanzhi's intention that he secretly bit the tip of his tongue, accumulated blood in his mouth, and found an opportunity to spit out and confuse the enemy. Now that Liu Yanzhi has left, he dared not speak out, but just deliberately dropped the teacup. The personal soldiers came in when they heard the sound and immediately exclaimed when they saw the marshal fainting.

A group of personal soldiers rushed into the tent, helped Zhang Hongfan up, pinched the people and poured hot water. It took a while before the marshal woke up slowly, saying that his old illness had relapsed, and handed over the important task of commanding the troops to his deputy. He wrote a memorial to arrange for the fast horse to take to Dadu overnight and resigned from Kublai Khan.

Liu Yanzhi's appearance means that this battle is not easy to fight. Zhang Hongfan is as clear as he is. If he loses another battle, his previous military achievements will be almost offset, and the emperor will not be able to save him. At that time, the disaster Liu Yanzhi said may come early.

So he chose to give up, and I quit and don’t be greedy for this credit. Whoever you can do it will do it?

The Yuan army stationed in Nanyang Prefecture for many days, but did not make any active moves, just waiting for the imperial edict of the capital to arrive.

From Nanyang to Dadu, the imperial messenger rushed back and forth without stopping. Six days later, Zhang Hongfan received the imperial edict from Kublai Khan. He led the generals to receive the imperial edict at the gate. The decree was very simple. He did not approve Zhang Hongfan's resignation and encouraged him to take good care of his illness. After long-term planning, he was not in a hurry to suppress the bandits. He also gave him ten kilograms of mountain ginseng and a damascus scimitar.

The emperor's trust and favor made Zhang Hongfan cry. As a minister, he could serve such a lord without regrets. As for what Liu Yanzhi said about the Zhang family being destroyed fifty years later, he believed it, but what Kublai Khan's unfilial children and grandchildren did have to do with the current emperor? Besides, as long as he left his will and forbidden his children and grandchildren to forcibly stand up and become enemies with the Mongols, it would be fine.

Liu Yanzhi's threat still exists. This demon can enter the camp and assassinate himself at any time, but this does not scare Zhang Hongfan. Death by the enemy's assassination can be regarded as loyal to the country. The emperor will inevitably bury himself with great rewards and reward the Zhang family. This may not be a good ending.

"Well, I will give this life to Your Majesty!" Zhang Hongfan had made up his mind and kowtowed to the north to thank him, and ordered the three armies to fight and fight after a full meal to attack and suppress the bandits.

Zhang Hongfan was a top-ranking general among the Han people. He tried his best to suppress bandits, but it was quite effective. He recovered several cities in a row and strictly controlled his soldiers and generals, not allowing them to rob and massacre. Instead, he opened warehouses and released grain to help the people. This was his always practice. He tried not to commit more crimes in killing, and it was best to invite people to buy their hearts.

Liu Yanzhi had the chance to use Barrett to snipe Zhang Hongfan, but when he saw his actions, he couldn't bear to take action, because he would definitely not be so merciless if he had changed to other commanders. No matter how powerful he was, he could not kill 100,000 troops or save hundreds of thousands of people.

Compared with Zhang Hongfan, Huo Qubing's strategic level was better. He did not confront the officers and soldiers head-on, but led three thousand cavalry and the dragon was nowhere to be seen. He had the opportunity to quickly expand his team and was a piece of cake to carry hundreds of thousands of people. However, he did not do so, and maintained the scale of 3,000 troops and 10,000 war horses. Of course, the soldiers were constantly being eliminated and replaced, removing the drought and retaining the essence. All soldiers who were not good at equestrian skills, poor skills, and poor physical fitness were slowly eliminated, and the rest were real elite soldiers and excellent riders.

Zhang Hongfan had 10,000 elite Asu Army under his command. Asu people were white Caucasians who spoke Persian. After being destroyed by Mongolia, they became mercenaries. These people were savage and brave, hard-working, and could eat, drink, defecate and urinate on horseback for three days and three nights. They were covered with thick grease in winter to keep warm. Adults did not take a bath, and they were even more desperate when fighting. Such cavalry units, coupled with resourceful commander and abundant logistical support, were simply invincible in the Central Plains.

As the main force of bandit suppression, Asu Army entered the battlefield. They sent small groups of scouts to find out whereabouts of the Ma bandits, but they were always unaware of the points. The Ma bandits seemed to be able to predict the approaching danger, and they always lost their way every time they formed an encirclement.

The Yuan army did not know that there were eyes in the air staring at their movements at all times and promptly informing the bandits. This war was as transparent as the multinational forces in the 1990s against the Iraqi army, and the Asu army had strong mobile power, but it was useless.

The Yuan army infantry was in trouble. From time to time, they were bitten by horse bandits, causing heavy losses and low morale. Zhang Hongfan was unable to suppress bandits. The wars were everywhere in Jiangbei provinces in Henan Province. Not only Liu Qubing, the horse bandits, but at least more than twenty forces raised an army to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhang Hongfan was in a panic and ashamed, and didn't know how to explain to the emperor.

...

In Dadu, the most magnificent among the Daming Palace is the Daming Palace, with eleven rooms wide and seven rooms deep. It has a double-eaved hip roof and golden glazed tiles. The roof of the Daming Palace is the commanding heights of the entire palace, and it can overlook everything.

Late at night, Liu Yanzhi sat at the top of the Ming Palace with a long bag on his back. He was waiting for someone, a famous character in Chinese history, the last Khan of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Borjijin and Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan is already sixty-eight years old this year. According to the historical process, he can live for at least ten years. Liu Yanzhi can't wait that long. This emperor is really too powerful. His abilities are comparable to those of Emperor Tang and Song ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang. His literary and military strategies are not bad. With an old emperor to defend himself, the world will be in chaos, and Zhang Hongfan and others dare not have any dissent.

Therefore, Kublai Khan must die early.

In the early morning, the emperor went to court. The costumes of the Yuan Dynasty were different from those of the Song Dynasty, and the clothes were chaotic. Men liked to wear round helmet-shaped corrugated hats and round necklines and narrow sleeves. The emperor was no exception. The old man surrounded by ministers of all races must have been Kublai Khan. He came from the direction of the bedroom and rode a chariot. The guards were wearing bows, arrows, and scimitars beside the guards, with steady steps and drums and music.

Liu Yanzhi picked up Barrett and locked Kublai Khan's heart. After all, he was an emperor, so he would not take the lead. He left a whole body for burial.

"You are also a blessing to enjoy high-tech weapons eight hundred years later." Liu Yanzhi said silently, pulling the trigger, a 12.7MM bullet whistled out, hitting the emperor's left chest, and huge force knocked the man off the chariot, his body almost broken into two pieces, and the guards were in chaos. The guards drew their swords and looked around, but they could not see any trace of the assassin.

The Venetian traveler Mark Polo, who witnessed this scene, later recorded the death of Kublai Khan in his "Travels of Marco Polo". He vividly described it: Under the escort of the guard of honor, the emperor went to the palace to deal with the government as usual, but suddenly exploded on the way. Some mysterious thing must be hidden in his heart, perhaps because he took too much elixir from the east...

The emperor was assassinated in a bizarre way. The incident happened suddenly. The Da Nei secretly stopped his mourning to avoid any change. It was not until the crown prince Zhenjin arrived from Mobei that the emperor had passed away and the crown prince ascended the throne.

Borjijin. Zhenjin is the eldest son of Kublai Khan. In his prime, he was not so polite to Zhang Hongfan after taking over the government. He repeatedly wrote letters to ask about the progress of the bandit suppression. Zhang Hongfan was forced to helplessly, but Cang Shangjun was ambushed by Huo Qubing, and many soldiers were damaged. He had to bite the bullet and ask the court for reinforcements.

At the same time, Fan Wenhu, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, won many battles and defeated the rebels in the south completely, and flew to Dadu like a snowflake, winning unanimous praise from the monarch and ministers.

After Taiwan's defeat, Fan Wenhu turned black and white and pushed the blame to Ji Yu. Instead, he was promoted and promoted, and was now the right prime minister of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. Those so-called achievements were forged by him. He inherited Jia Sidao's true teachings, and most people really can't compare with them.

There are rumors among the people that Liu Qubing and Zhang Hongfan had already reached a tacit understanding of the secret conversation. Zhenjin was a wise emperor and would not believe these low-level rumors. However, Zhang Hongfan repeatedly lost troops and generals and consumed food and grass, which really disappointed him. So he issued an order to let the capable minister Fan Wenhu replace him and send an imperial envoy to take Zhang Hongfan back to Dadu for treatment.

Zhang Hongfan did not dare to resist the order, so he handed over the military talisman and returned to the capital with the imperial envoy. He was upright and did not fear the shadows. Now he still has the confidence to prove his innocence and continue to serve the court.

However, the prison car that escorted Zhang Hongfan back to Dadu was intercepted by the bandits halfway. The imperial envoy was shot and killed on the spot. Most of the three hundred Qie Xue soldiers escorted were killed, and only a few of them fled in panic. The bandits could clearly chase and kill them, but let them escape.

Zhang Hongfan sat in the prison car and refused to come out because he saw Liu Yanzhi again.

"Marantor Zhang, don't be fine." Liu Yanzhi immediately clasped his fists and said, "Don't you plan to thank me for saving my life?"

Zhang Hongfan was so angry that his teeth were itchy: "A villain, I am injustice!"

The Qiexue Army was the emperor's personal guards. After they returned to Dadu, they confirmed that they had an affair with the horse bandits. The tribesmen who were far away in Hebei might not be killed by the emperor's family. All of this was caused by Liu Yanzhi's conspiracy.

Liu Yan said straight: "Kublai is dead, and the life of real gold is only two years away. The world is going to be in chaos. He is creating heroes in troubled times. Who knows whether it should be the turn of Zhang in this world?" He said that, and he went forward to swing the hammer and smashed the iron lock on the prison cart.

"The evil words confuse the public." Zhang Hongfan's tone was not so intense. This time he was really passive. The strongest backer who had always stood behind him was Kublai Khan. Now that Kublai Khan has passed away, even if he succeeded him, he was still a emperor and a minister. He would not trust the Zhang family so much. Where can he go, he really needs to think carefully.

"Marson Zhang, there will be a date later." Liu Yanzhi turned his horse's head and led the horse bandits away, leaving only the corpses on the ground and the lonely Zhang Hongfan in the prison cart.

Two ownerless war horses were quietly eating grass on the side.

Zhang Hongfan climbed out of the prison car, took out his armor from the dead, picked up weapons and armor, turned over to the horse, and thought for a moment, galloped southward. Hebei was too far away, and even if he rushed back starry night, he could not save the lives of all the young people. It would be better to return to the army, kill Fan Wenhu and regain military power. In troubled times, only soldiers, horses, money and food are the most important.

As expected, the real gold later killed the entire Zhang family in Baoding, Zhang Hongfan killed Fan Wenhu, and supported himself with his troops. The world was in chaos since then...
