Chapter 448: East Crossing the Treasure Island

"If Jun Shi Gong had not recruited reinforcements in this battle, we would have been buried in the belly of a fish. Zhang did not dare to take credit for his contributions. Even if he wanted to carve out, he should have carved the title of "Zhang Hongfan, the general of the Song Dynasty, destroyed the country." Zhang Shijie did not dare to take credit for his contributions and quickly refused. Apart from what he said in his words, the tradition of the Song Dynasty did not allow him to show such a limelight.

Li You shook his head secretly. The political habits of the Song Dynasty over the years have made these warriors lose their spirits, but this is not something that can be changed overnight. Therefore, it is not entangled, but has changed another topic, "Where is Li Heng?"

"It's here." Zhang Shijie hurriedly ordered Li Heng to take Li You left and right. Li Heng's eyes were blank at this time, as if he didn't believe that he had lost to Song Jun.

"I think you are also a member of the Xixia royal family, but now you are a lackey of the Mongol Yuan. Tolei slaughtered Zhongxing Mansion. Do you want to avenge all the royal tombs in the following West? "Li Heng is the son of Li Weizhong, the descendant of the Xixia king. Temujin died of illness in Liupanshan when besieging Zhongxing Mansion. Of course, there are also legends that he was bitten by the Xixia princess and died of death. So after his death, the Mongolian army launched a massacre on Xixia. Not only was the Xixia royal family in Zhongxing Mansion slaughtered, but even the tombs of the kings of Xixia who had been dying from all dynasties in Xixia starting from Li Jiqian were dug up. It was really a deep hatred.

However, Li Heng was quite loyal to the Mongolian Yuan. In his early years, Li Yu, the son of Li Quan, the general of Shandong Han Army, was named the chief of the Aolu, Zilai Road, for his contribution to rebellion. He then won consecutive victories against the Yuan army to conquer the Song Dynasty. After he captured Wen Tianxiang, he was even appointed as the chief political affairs officer. Unexpectedly, he became a prisoner of the Song army when his great achievements were about to be completed.

"Xia Kingdom has long passed by. Now my lord is the true emperor. Why should you resist stubbornly? Why would you surrender earlier? My lord has always been kind and will not pursue you." Li Heng had no expression on his face. In his opinion, even if he surrendered, he would not live longer. In the future, the Yuan army will still be defeated when he attacked the Song army again. It would be better to die here than to do so, so as not to implicate his family.

"Will you know the loyalty and wiseness of the Central Plains?" Li You sneered. What kind of Kublai Khan said was a joke. Will he surrender and then become a fourth-class person? Seeing Li Heng so devoted, Li You was too lazy to pay attention to it. He waved his hand and said, "Drag it down and behead it to comfort the spirit of the soldiers who died in the battle."

"My husband, killing prisoners has been unlucky since ancient times. Why would you just imprison him for the time being?" a civil servant came to persuade him.

"What are the good consequences for those generals of the Song Dynasty who fell into the hands of the Yuan army? The demon monk Yang Lianzhenjia dug the tombs of my predecessors of the Song Dynasty in Lin'an, and even cut the skull of Emperor Lizong into a drinking vessel. This is a shocking thing that has not been seen in previous dynasties." Those who talk about benevolence and righteousness with brutals like the Mongol Yuan will only be regarded as weak. They have even dug the tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty emperors for you in all dynasties, but you have to forgive the other generals now. Li Youzhen doesn't know whether these people are stupid or something. "Since the Mongolian Yuan went south, the city massacre is common. Li Heng's hands are already covered with the blood of the Song people. What else can he say to these beasts? Now I will kill him or him."

After saying this, the man blushed and quickly covered his face and retreated. Other civil officials who wanted to show their kindness and righteousness also stopped and took Li Heng down. After a while, a scream came. This descendant of the Western Xia royal family, the deputy governor of the Mongol Yuan, also followed Zhang Hongfan's descendant to the underworld.

"My true master, where did the reinforcements come from? Please come and talk to the Lord." At this time, Empress Dowager Yang remembered Zheng He and the others, and hurriedly spoke and invited him.

Li You looked over Zheng He's fleet and saw a small boat coming here slowly. After a while, he arrived here. Zheng He and others climbed onto the big ship, came to Li You and Empress Dowager Yang and bowed, "Overseas Zheng He, a person from the overseas world, paid his respects to the Queen Mother of Song, and to the Prime Minister."

When everyone heard Zheng He's voice, they were stunned. The person who came was actually a eunuch. In addition to their expectations, Li You inspected and said, "Didn't there be such famous internal officials like Dou Shenbao, Qin Han and Wang Ji'en?" These three people were famous eunuchs and generals at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty. They not only had outstanding achievements but also had a strong reputation, but even these civil officials couldn't say bad things about them. After this explanation, Wen Tianxiang and others were relieved.

"Thank you, General Zheng, for leading the army to help. If it weren't for General Zheng, we would have probably fallen into the hands of the Yuan army." Empress Dowager Yang spoke sincerely. She had already made plans to die. The current escaping from death made her grateful to Zheng He. Then the ministers came to thank him, but their words were quite stiff, and they must have felt awkward because of Zheng He's eunuch.

Li You couldn't help but shake his head secretly. It's time that these people still have bad habits. If you say that these people are willing to surrender to the Mongol Yuan at this time, there is no problem with loyalty. It's just because of this political ability, then it can only be hehe.

"I think this defeat will soon reach Kublai Khan's ears. More Yuan troops will come soon. I'm afraid this Yashan camp will not be able to stay." After the politeness, Li You said directly.

"Where is there to go now?" Zhang Shijie said with a wry smile. Yashan is almost the southernmost part of the Song Dynasty. If Chen Yizhong gained the trust of Cham City, it would be impossible to go south to Cham City. But Chen Yizhong still doesn't know where to go. Is there any place to go in the world?

"Fujian Road, Jinjiang County is under Penghu. It is Liuqiu near Penghu. Liuqiu Island is vast and sparsely populated and separated by the straits. I guess the Mongol cavalry could not cross the straits." Li You had a long plan for this. The treasure island is probably the most suitable place for them. As he said that Zheng He took out the sea chart from his arms and expanded it, and the location of the treasure island was marked on it.

Most of the officials present have been staying on Fujian Road and are not unfamiliar with Jinjiang County. Some well-read people quickly found Liu Qiu's records from historical books, and whispered and discussed it.

If they still stayed in Yashan, the Mongols' cavalry came to them and they had almost no good way to resist. However, if they arrived at Liuqiu, there was a sea barrier in the middle. The Mongols could only rely on fleets to cross the sea to attack Liuqiu. However, the naval battle was not the head of the Yuan army, and this method seemed feasible.

"You can reach Liuqiu in less than a few days from Yashan to the northeast." Li You marked the route on the map, "Liqiu is wide in the area, and you are resting and maintaining your health with us. It is not too late to plan for the energy to recover."
