When Zhao Ping heard this and saw these memorials, he couldn't help but smile.
Sure enough, it was Ding Daquan, King Rong and others. It seemed that they were not giving up yet.
Especially King Rong, who originally thought that the position of prince was his son, but he didn't expect that it was given to him.
The reason why Ding Daquan sided with King Rong was because he was dissatisfied with himself.
If he ascends the throne, Ding Daquan will completely lose the opportunity to control the court. He is not the fool loyal to the king.
Now they propose to regain Hanzhong, which is a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
It not only consumes Zhao Ping and Yu Jie's military strength, but also damages their credibility.
In the view of Ding Daquan and others, the Hu troops still had the upper hand.
No matter how powerful Zhao Ping's security group and Sichuan Army are, they can only defend the city, and their offensive capabilities are really not good.
They never expected that the security regiment would fight with hundreds of thousands of Hu troops in Dali. The Hu troops were defeated and less than 10% of the troops fled back.
Although Dali and Ziqi Kingdom participated in the war, the main force was still the security group.
Zhao Ping's face remained as calm as before, he looked at Yu Jie and asked: "Yifu, Prime Minister Ding and others have requested to take back Hanzhong, what do you think?"
When Zhao Ping became the prince, Yu Jie was actually the happiest.
Zhao Ping has always valued him, and even gave him the first cavalryman of the Song Dynasty and Hong Tianlei.
What's more important is that his granddaughter is already engaged to Zhao Ping, and she will definitely be the mother-in-law in the world in the future.
"I am willing to lead troops and horses to regain Hanzhong. Please give me your permission." Yu Jie's eyes suddenly turned red and he couldn't wait to express his stance.
Two years ago, Yu Jie led troops and horses to attack Xingyuan Mansion. Unfortunately, due to insufficient troops, the success failed.
He felt that his biggest regret in life was that he did not regain Hanzhong.
Because only by recovering Hanzhong can the security of Sichuan, the land of abundance, be truly guaranteed.
Zhao Ping nodded and ordered in a deep voice: "I will leave the security group and the Sichuan Guard Army to you, and prepare to recover Hanzhong within one month, without any mistakes."
"Thank you, Prince. I obey your orders." Yu Jie was overjoyed, and her anxiety finally subsided.
Yu Jie still knows himself. With his original troops and horses, whether he can regain Hanzhong is still a question mark.
But with the security team and the Sichuan Protecting Army in Zhao Ping's hands, it gave him great confidence.
The security regiment and the Sichuan Army fought for three months in Xizhou, and the Hu people were beaten to the point where they actively sued for peace. In Dali, the Hu people were beaten so hard that they fled.
Others may not know, but Yu Jie knows it clearly.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, Ding Daquan caught up with Jia Sidao.
"Shi Xian, the decline of the Hu people has appeared. Why don't you ask for instructions to lead the army? You are a general trained by Duke Ji (Meng Gong)." Ding Daquan showed a faint smile on his face.
Jia Sidao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Prime Minister Ding, how can a low-ranking official be compared with a righteous husband?"
"Master Xian, you are a member of the Privy Council, and your official position is higher than that of a righteous husband. If you request to send troops, the prince must consider it no matter what." Ding Daquan looked at Jia Sidao with bright eyes.
Jia Sidao forced a smile and looked even more bitter: "Prime Minister Ding, this official has no outstanding achievements. Secondly, he is a veteran of the official family. Thirdly, he is not a confidant of the prince. Rather than being embarrassed and showing off, it is better to wait and see what happens."
"Shi Xian's words make sense." Ding Daquan nodded, and then sighed, "The righteous husband is really lucky. While he was still in Sichuan, his granddaughter was engaged to the prince. It would be great if I had such a granddaughter."
"The righteous husband is really lucky and acted too early. Now he has become the prince's confidant." Jia Sidao replied casually, but his eyes kept rolling around, not knowing what he was planning.
Xingyuan Mansion, the base camp of the Hu people.
Since Wu Lianghetai surrendered to the Song Dynasty, the commander-in-chief here is now Liu Heima, and the deputy commander-in-chief is Jiagu Longgu.
Liu Heima and Da Ma Jindao sat in the middle as the chairman. On both sides were Hu people and dozens of other generals, including the director of firearms.
Liu Heima was a famous general among the Hu people. His reputation was far higher than that of Wu Lianghetai, and his military exploits were even more outstanding.
He once led his soldiers and horses to defeat the Jin Kingdom, defeated tens of thousands of Jin Kingdom soldiers and horses in Sanfeng Mountain, and captured the famous general Pingzhang Zhengshi Bingguo Gong Wanyan Heda.
The Duke's position is second only to that of the Prince, and equal to that of the County Prince.
The political official position of Pingzhang is not small, equivalent to the political governor of the Song Dynasty, and can participate in government affairs.
Jiagu Kelonggu turned out to be a surrendered general from the Kingdom of Jin, so he was naturally willing to be the deputy commander.
Liu Heima was just like the man he was. He was very dark and tall, at least eight feet tall.
His ancestral home is Licheng, Jinan. Although he is Han, he was born in Xianning, Xuande, a Hu people.
Not only has his character become a barbarian, but he also has the reputation of being a barbarian.
Liu Heima is fifty-four years old this year. His beard and hair are starting to turn gray, and there are many wrinkles on his forehead and around his eyes, but he is in good spirits.
Jiagu Keke is about the same age, slightly shorter, with a broad face and flat nose, and more white hair.
At this time, Xizuo stumbled and received news: "Report to the commander-in-chief that Nanman has asked Yu Jie to lead the army with one hundred thousand troops to prepare to attack Xingyuan Mansion."
"Longgu, when you were guarding Xingyuan Mansion, what did you think of Yu Jie?" Liu Heima didn't seem to be intimidated by the news, and turned to ask Jiagu Longgu.
The Hu general didn't care at all when he saw Liu Heima, and felt a little worried.
Two years ago, Yu Jie led 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xingyuan Mansion. The defender at that time was Jiagu Longgu.
Hearing Liu Heima's question, Jia Gu Kelong thought for a while.
He said extremely solemnly: "Commander, Yu Jie knows the art of war well and has a strong fighting spirit. If Brother Tian hadn't taken a shortcut to rescue him, Xingyuan Mansion would have fallen into the hands of others."
"No matter how powerful Yu Jie is, he was still scared away by Brother Tian. This person has a false reputation." Liu Heima waved his hand indifferently.
Hua Hua stood up at this time and bowed his hands: "Commander, Yu Jie is good at defending the city, but his ability to attack the city is not strong. However, he has the Nanman security group and the Sichuan protecting army, which should not be underestimated."
"If Zhao Ping's child is here, I would be a little worried, but it doesn't matter that he is trapped in the cage in Lin'an now." Liu Heima suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
Although Zhao Ping is young, he is the enemy of the barbarians.
Famous generals and marshals such as Tian Ge'er and Wu Liang Hetai were captured alive. Even Prince Kublai Khan suffered a disastrous defeat. An army of 100,000 people fled back with only a thousand personal soldiers.
Fortunately, Yu Jie did not participate in the two battles, but Liu Heima felt that there was nothing to worry about.
Hua Hua rolled his eyes a few times and bowed his hand: "Commander, although Zhao Ping is not here, they have that kind of monster chariot that looks like a turtle shell. It can't be cut with knives and can't be beaten with cannons. It's really a headache." .”
Liu Heima looked at him coldly and said in a cold tone: "General Hua, you are the director of weapons, why don't you make a batch of them?"
Hearing this, Hua Hua's old face turned the color of pig's liver, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
He licked his dry lips, his Adam's apple twitched a few times, and then he said cautiously: "Tell me, Commander-in-Chief, the Khanate cannot produce monster tanks like those of the Southern Barbarians."
After saying that, he was extremely embarrassed and lowered his head with a fairly fair face, not daring to look at Liu Heima at all.
With a bang, Liu Heima kicked the case in front of him.
With a clang, the teacup fell to the ground along with the table.
The floor was made of slate, and the teacup was of good quality. Although the tea inside was completely poured out, there was no damage to the teacup.
When all the generals saw this, they also lowered their heads and looked at the ground, counting the ants on the ground.
Liu Heima kicked out, and his anger was relieved a lot.
At this time, when he saw everyone present bowing their heads, he realized something was wrong. This move had a huge impact on morale.
He sighed, fighting back his anger.
"General Hua, bring me the portrait of the Nanman's monster chariot and let me see it." A forced smile appeared on Liu Heima's face.
What Liu Heima didn't know was that although he smiled, his smile was uglier than crying.
But all the men looked at the ground, and no one noticed his expression at all.
However, everyone was overjoyed when they heard his sudden change in tone.
Hua opened a wooden box and carefully took out a painting.
At this time, the guards have already changed the table, so that the expenses can be placed on the table.
Everyone pounced on it carefully and saw that it looked like a turtle shell or half an egg.
Hua Hua carefully introduced: "Commander, this monster chariot has a layer of iron on the outside, and there is a keel of hundreds of refined steel inside to support the iron sheet. This iron sheet, I guess it is also hundreds of refined steel, otherwise the swords, axes and cannons would not be able to use it at all. It’s hard to break your muscles.”
Hearing this, the original Hu general in Xingyuan Mansion was no longer surprised.
But the generals brought by Liu Heima couldn't help but take a breath of air, couldn't believe their eyes, and even took a few steps back.
"General Hua, it's not like the Hundred-Refined Steel Khanate can't produce it. Why hasn't this monster war been produced?" Liu Heima thought for a while and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Hearing that Liu Heima was not angry, Hua Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
He smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was full of smiles: "Let me tell you, Commander-in-Chief, this kind of chariot has been made in humble circumstances, but its shape is square. Even though I tried every means, I couldn't make it into the shape of a turtle shell."
"That's great. Since you have already produced it, why don't you report it to Dadu?" Liu Heima was extremely happy at first, but soon his voice became stern.
Hua Hua forced a smile, but Jie didn't know that his smiling face turned into a bitter one.
Hua Hua sighed: "Commander, I tried this chariot with an iron cannon. In just a few shots, the tank was penetrated. After seeing this effect, I didn't dare to report it."
After everyone heard this, they realized that this monster chariot of the Nanman was extremely difficult to make, and they were so surprised that it stood there like a piece of wood.
When Liu Heima heard this, his face felt like he had been slapped countless times. His face was so hot that he wanted to stick his head into his crotch immediately.
"Although this monster chariot has such strong protective power, its war horse is indeed weak. As long as the war horse is knocked down, it will no longer be able to run." Liu Heima is a commander after all, and his eyes are extremely vicious. He soon saw that The weak point of this monster tank.
Having said this, he became proud again, raised his head and laughed again.
Hua Hua sighed inwardly, but with a smile on his face: "Let me tell you, Commander, this monster chariot is not only extremely defensive, but also extremely powerful. There are nine iron cannons on the bottom floor of it, and the six in the middle can fire poisonous needles." The iron cannon has three cyclone cannons on it."
Hearing this, Liu Heima felt like a duck being pinched by the neck, and his proud laughter stopped abruptly.
"General Hua, why have I never heard of the poisonous needle iron cannon?" Liu Heima opened his mouth wide, unable to believe his ears.
Hua Hua answered cautiously: "Tell me, Marshal, this fires a kind of iron sand that hits the human body, as if being stung by a wasp. People who are hit by many bullets may even die of pain. That's why it's called the Poison Needle Iron Cannon."
When the people present heard this, they suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, as if they had been bitten by a wasp.
"Since it is iron sand, there are no ways to protect it. You can block it with a shield." However, he was a commander after all, and he quickly adjusted his emotions and found corresponding methods.
"The commander-in-chief is right, I think so too," Hua Hua said with a smile on his face.
The people present thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
Although iron sand is poisonous, its penetrating power is not strong, so many people say it is.
"Monster chariot." A look of disdain suddenly appeared on Liu Heima's face, "This monster chariot of the Nanman is suitable for field battles, but it is not suitable for siege. The walls of Xingyuan Mansion are high and strong, and the Nanman disciples can do nothing to me."
After saying that, he laughed again.
Jiagu Longgu's face was full of smiles: "The Nanbarbarians used to defend the city, and it was difficult for the Khanate to attack. Now that the Khanate is defending the city, let's see how the Nanbarbarians attack the city?"
"The Nanman are good at defending the city, but they are weak at attacking the city. Last time we lost troops and generals here, we also lost troops and generals this time." Hua Hua also had a flattering smile on his face.
When Liu Heima heard this, he laughed proudly again.
After he finished laughing, he suddenly asked: "General Hua, have you finished making your bronze cannon?"
Hearing this, Hua Hua suddenly became energetic.
"Tell me, Marshal, we have already made them. There are currently ten of them." He immediately held his head high and was full of energy.
A satisfied smile appeared on Liu Heima's face: "General Hua, how powerful is this bronze cannon?"
"Tell me, Marshal, it can hold more gunpowder, is more powerful, and has twice the range." Hua Fei's face was red at this time and he answered very happily.
Liu Heima laughed again: "General Hua, can it repel the Nanman's monster chariot?"
"Tell me, Marshal, after the bronze cannon was made, the two sides did not fight. I don't know what the effect was." At this time, his old face turned the color of pig liver and he said awkwardly.
Liu Heima laughed loudly: "In the past, iron cannons could not defeat the Nanman monster chariots because they were not powerful enough. Now that we have better bronze cannons, the Nanman monster chariots are useless."
When everyone at the scene thought that this was indeed true, they laughed together, the sound was so loud that the birds on the roof flew straight into the sky.
"Let's go, I'm going to take a look at your bronze cannon." Liu Heima laughed again and waved his hand.
When they came to the firearms warehouse, everyone saw that this bronze cannon was more than twice the size of an ordinary iron cannon.
Liu Heima waved his hand: "Mount the bronze cannon on the city wall and let the southern barbarians see the power of the Khanate."
