Kublai Khan led an army of 500,000 people and had entered the Great Wall.
The war is coming!
After Su Mingzhe learned the news, he called Chabi to the study.
Chabi is five months pregnant and her belly is slightly bulging.
Perhaps because the weather is getting hotter, Chabi only wore a loose emerald green Tang-style palace skirt today, revealing deep snow-white furrows.
When Su Mingzhe saw how charming the woman was, he immediately became interested.
Chabi also didn't expect that even though his belly was so big, the man was still so interested. In desperation, he could only try his best to support his body and protect his belly to avoid hitting the desk.
In fact, Su Mingzhe also paid careful attention to Chabi's belly. After all, there was his child inside.
Not long after, Yuhe helped Chabi to rest on the soft couch outside.
Minglan is in charge of the relay.
Entertainment activities are over.
Su Mingzhe felt refreshed, and after the maids had cleaned up, they called for Duo'er and Zhenjin.
Chabi saw his two sons coming, hid his face and left.
"Duo'er only pays homage to the prince (real gold), and the prince Jin'an!"
Duo'er only bowed cautiously to the two brothers, Zhenjin, and didn't even look at her mother as she passed by.
"No gift."
Su Mingzhe smiled, gave the two brothers seats, and said with a smile:
"Your father led an army of 500,000 to enter the Pass. Now it has passed Xifengkou, and it is at most one day's journey from Dadu..."
"Your Majesty is so heroic and brave, my father is definitely no match for you!"
It has to be said that Duo'er's ability to flatter people is getting better and better day by day. After some compliments, Su Mingzhe burst into laughter:
"Of course your father is no match for me!"
Su Mingzhe's "arrogance and arrogance" without any humility made Duo'er secretly relieved.
Last year, Su Mingzhe won Dadu and took Chabi as his princess. He treated the brothers Duoer and Zhenjin pretty well.
At least Duo'er and Zhenjin thought that they were living a pretty good life, still well clothed and well fed, surrounded by maids and servants, and never lacking anything.
If possible, the two brothers even thought of living like this for the rest of their lives.
Now, Kublai Khan suddenly led an army of 500,000 people and invaded Dadu, breaking the peaceful life of the two people.
Both brothers hated their father more or less deep down.
Su Mingzhe didn't know what the two brothers were thinking, so he still talked to himself:
"God has a good life, and I am willing to give your father a way out. As long as he is willing to surrender to me, I can promise that one day I will ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor, and let him be the khan of the grassland! Which of you two brothers is willing to leave the city?
Preach this message to me?"
"My lord, spare your life, I will never dare to leave the city and have an affair with Kublai Khan!"
Duo'er only heard Su Mingzhe's instructions and thought that Su Mingzhe was testing her. She was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he kowtowed like garlic, begging for mercy again and again.
Compared to the eleven-year-old Duo'er, the five- or six-year-old Zhen Jin showed quite a lot of courage. He cupped his hands and responded:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go outside the city to deliver a message for Your Majesty!"
"good!"
When Su Mingzhe saw that Zhenjin agreed, he immediately handed him the letter he had written, and then sent a team of guards to escort him out of the city.
As for Duo'er, since you are willing to be a coward, then just continue to be a coward.
Su Mingzhe is quite fond of Chabi, and his tolerance for brothers Duoerzhi and Zhenjin is also relatively high.
…
By the afternoon.
Zhenjin meets his father who has been away for nearly a year.
Presenting Su Mingzhe's letter persuading him to surrender, Zhenjin said bluntly without fear:
"Father, I have been ordered by King Lu to deliver a letter to persuade you to surrender! Now in the capital, there are hundreds of tiger cannons, hundreds of general cannons, and over ten thousand fire guns. These firearms are extremely sharp and are definitely not the same as the bows and arrows of Baturu on the grassland.
If you are capable of defeating me, please father, please be aware of the situation and return as soon as possible..."
Seeing his five-year-old son talking freely in front of him, Kublai Khan didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.
??????55.??????
After all, this son who should have made him proud has grown up in other people's ambitions, destroyed his own prestige, and made himself surrender to outsiders.
This is true: the more you think about it, the angrier it becomes, and the more you think about it when you step back, the more you lose.
Kublai Khan could not help but feel the anger in his chest:
"Someone, lock this kid up for me!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
When one of Kublai Khan's counselors saw this, he quickly stood up to dissuade him:
"The young prince only knows that the Southern Barbarians have sharp firearms, but he doesn't know that this time, my army of 500,000 people also has hundreds of stone cannons to help..."
"Stone cannon? Is this gentleman talking about those bulky guys outside the handsome tent? I wonder what their shooting range is?"
Although Zhenjin was small, he was very courageous. Even though his father was already angry, he still said calmly:
"The Tiger Crouching Cannon in Dadu City can shoot at a direct range of 300 steps, and fire at an altitude of 500 steps. The General Cannon can shoot at a direct range of 800 steps, and fire at an altitude of 1,200 steps. The Fire Gun can shoot at a range of 120 steps... Father, handsome
Can those stone cannons outside the tent compare to that?"
"Is what the young prince said true? Can the cannon in the city really hit a thousand, two hundred paces?"
The counselor's surname was Dong, and he was Kublai Khan's new recruit. After Zhenjin confirmed that the information was correct, he quickly gave Kublai Khan a look:
"Your Majesty, Nanman firearms are so sharp, we should be careful when handling them!"
"Well, come on, lock this kid up for me!"
Although Kublai Khan was also surprised by the power of firearms in the capital city, he did not think it was difficult to attack.
After the real gold left, Kublai Khan said indifferently:
"Yancai, even if the Nanman firearms are sharp, we only need to test the location of the firearms and attack from other directions, that's it!"
Seeing that Kublai Khan was full of confidence, Dong Wenyong was afraid that his new master would be too arrogant and suffer a disadvantage, so he quickly reminded:
"What the prince said is true, but we should never be too careful!"
"Don't worry Yancai, I won't take any risks!"
Although Kublai Khan promised not to take risks, he certainly would not attack the city cautiously.
After all, there is a saying in the art of war: "If you are ten, you are to surround it, if you are five, you are to attack it, if you are twice as many, you are to fight..."
Now he has an army of 500,000 people, but there are only 100,000 people in the capital city.
Kublai Khan, who had never fought such a rich battle, wanted to shout: The advantage is mine!
…
"Your Majesty, do you want to sneak attack on the enemy camp?"
Liu Bingzhong didn't expect to be woken up by Su Mingzhe in the middle of the night and pulled to the top of the city.
When he climbed onto the city wall, he saw the city gate open and groups of cavalry from the city quietly leaving the city.
As Su Mingzhe's adviser, Liu Bingzhong believed that he had the obligation to remind:
"Your Majesty, you have made several sneak attacks before this. Kublai Khan is probably prepared for night attacks!"
"He defends his, I fight mine!"
Su Mingzhe smiled heartily and suddenly asked:
"Bingzhong, have you ever heard of the 'Fire Company'?"
Liu Bingzhong knew something about the famous battle. When he heard the inquiry, he nodded quickly and said:
"Your Majesty, you are referring to the allusion that during the Three Kingdoms period, Emperor Zhaolie attacked Soochow in order to avenge the death of his second brother Guan Yunchang. Because the camp stretched for hundreds of miles, he was burned down by Soochow general Lu Xun?"
"good!"
Su Mingzhe took out a pair of telescopes from his arms and handed them to Liu Bingzhong for him to look at:
"Bingzhong, look at Kublai Khan's camp. There is a water source nearby!"
Liu Bingzhong took the telescope and looked at it. Because it was dark, he could not see clearly.
However, Liu Bingzhong had lived in Dadu City for several years and knew the surrounding terrain well. He calculated the distance silently and looked surprised:
"Your Majesty, how could Kublai Khan camp in such a desperate place?"
