Chapter 687: This is what I want you to see
Of course, Han Zhong would not expect to be received by Yun Zhao as soon as he arrived in Huocheng. It is very likely that this person would never come forward before everything was agreed, or before he needed to make a decision. Before going to Yanzhou, Han Zhong had already expected today, and at that time he talked with Yaldan about the matter of reconciliation with Yun Zhao. Today's matter was just a prediction that he had made, but unexpectedly, it was because of Cheng Qun's joining, which made the form of the Mongol Yuan worse. The capital for the Mongol Yuan bargaining was reduced.
But Han Zhong firmly believes that this is still a win-win situation for the Mongol Yuan and Yun Zhao. If Yun Zhao still wants to compete for the world, in fact, Yun Zhao must compete for the Central Plains and dominate the world. This is no longer a matter of Yun Zhao alone, but involves the core interests of the entire Zhengbei Army Group. Those who have accumulated in Yun Zhao's siege will push Yun Zhao forward for this goal.
"Your Highness, Prince, it's so strange!" The door was pushed open, and Malihan walked in, his head shaking, looking very puzzled.
"What's the matter?" Han Zhong sat at his desk, picking up a pen to list some important matters that were likely to be involved in the negotiations. Looking at Malihan's expression, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"There are only people in this inn, but there is not even a guard at the door. I just asked my personal guard to try it, but I walked out easily and walked around the street before I came back." Malihan said.
Han Zhong put down his pen and thoughtfully, "So confident? Or are you demonstrating to us?"
"Prince, what does this mean?" Malihan asked in confusion.
Han Zhong smiled and stood up, "Okay, since the master has no intention of restricting our movements, then let's go out and have a walk!"
"Go out for a walk?" Malihan blinked at Han Zhong, "Your Highness, this is the location of Yun Zhao's central army."
"If you don't want us to go out, then there will naturally be someone to stop us. Since no one will stop us, we will naturally let us see it." Han Zhong looked at Malihan, "Since Yun Zhao is not afraid to let us see, why are we polite? Let's go and see what Yun Zhao wants us to see?"
Malihan was still a little worried. Now this is the location of Yun Zhao's central army, which is the core of the Northern Army. After all, his group is also an enemy now. He walked out in such a big way and ran around. Even if he didn't have any worries about life because of his envoy, he could not bear to humiliate others. Looking at Han Zhong's confident look, although he didn't agree, he thought that he was a slutty man and could not lose to Han Zhong, so he followed him with a tough bullet.
Han Zhong and Malihan did not take any followers, and they walked out of the inn in a big way and walked onto the streets of Huocheng.
There was no ordinary citizen in Huo City. Now this place is a huge military camp. On the street, soldiers in military uniforms are coming and going. In almost every room on both sides of the street, there are all kinds of weapons and food. It is not to mention how awkward it is for two high-ranking Mongolian officials in Mongolian costumes walking among these soldiers.
After walking for a while, Malihan finally confirmed that what Han Zhong said was true. Because without special orders, these soldiers walking on the street would never turn a blind eye to them, and did not even have the simplest cross-examination. Obviously, they all received orders not to interfere with their own group's actions in Huocheng.
"What does Yun Zhao mean?" Malihan asked in a low voice at Han Zhong.
"Demonstration!" Han Zhong carried his hands on his back, and his mind was leisurely. "He wants us to see the prestige of the Northern Army and the abundant material reserves of the Northern Army. Malihan, what do you think when you see these?"
"Compared with the lifeless Yanjing City, here is full of vitality and high fighting spirit." Malihan told the truth.
"That's right, Yun Zhao wants to use this sharp contrast to dispel our fighting spirit. If we are affected, we will naturally not be able to straighten our waists during negotiations." Han Zhong said with a smile.
Malihan changed his color and said, "Then let's follow his pace and go back. I'd rather go to bed!"
"If you don't come here, it makes us look petty and even more timid!" Han Zhong shook his head and sighed, "This is a dilemma. We lose no matter how you choose. I don't know who is so immoral, and I have such an idea for Yun Zhao? I believe that the subordinates who follow us now are all admiring Huocheng, a city full of ambitions!"
Malihan remained silent and said for a while: "Since that's the case, it's useless to not look at it, and it's useless to look at it. Let's go to the city tower, and I guess we can see where we can see more clearly."
Han Zhong laughed, "That's the case, let's go!" He held Malihan's hand and strode towards the city tower.
The laughter of the two made the soldiers of Zhengbei who were walking in front of them and behind them look sideways. Many people showed resentment and contempt in their eyes, but they did not move. When they walked to the sides of the two, they took a detour.
The city tower was more vigilant than the streets. A fully armed soldier held a spear and a steel knife on his waist, staring straight solemnly. Seeing this formation, Malihan couldn't help but feel a little scared, "Do you really want to go up?"
"Of course I have to go up!" Han Zhong looked at the towering city tower, lifted up his robe, and climbed up the steps.
As soon as he stepped onto the city tower, Han Zhong's body suddenly condensed in the local area. At one end of the city tower, a young man in white robe turned his back to him, staring at the vast snow field outside Huo City. Beside him, a man in general's uniform held a steel knife in his hand, turned around and smiled at Han Zhong who was coming up the steps. He opened his lips and whispered a few words.
The young man in white robe turned around, looked at Han Zhong, smiling and silent.
Han Zhong really didn't expect that he would meet Yun Zhao like this. Obviously, he was lured by Yun Zhao, and the negotiations had not begun. Yun Zhao would not summon him as an enemy envoy, but he deliberately made such a scene that seemed like an accidental encounter. What was the purpose?
Han Zhong's mind was spinning rapidly, but the man was not dazed, but instead accelerated his pace. He walked to Yun Zhao's side a few steps, held his fists and bowed, "Han Zhong has seen Governor Yun!"
Yun Zhao smiled slightly and raised his hand and said, "No, you and I do not belong to each other, each of them belongs to one party. Today, you and I meet by chance, and it is not a formal meeting. There is no need to be so polite."
"It would be rude to do this!" Han Zhong straightened up, walked to Yun Zhao, stood side by side with Yun Zhao, and looked at the vast snow field in front of him.
"The governor is busy with all his life. I wonder why he has free time to see the scenery here today? Could it be that someone is waiting for?" Han Zhong said with sarcasm.
"It's true that I'm waiting for someone!" Yun Zhao laughed, raised his hand, and pointed to the distance of the vast snowfield, "Here, Mr. Han, the person we're waiting for is here."
Han Zhong looked at Yun Zhao's raised fingers and suddenly a row of black dots appeared on the snow field in the distance, and flags could be vaguely seen flying. It was an army, and Han Zhong was surprised in his heart, what army was it worth Yun Zhao's waiting here?
Yun Zhao stared into the distance with joy, and Han Zhong stood beside him, silent, watching the figures in the distance becoming clearer and clearer. Various flags fluttered, Han Zhong's body shook slightly. The team in front of him had about tens of thousands of people. From there, Yun Zhao transformed so many troops from there?
The army in the distance walked in neat steps and sang war songs from afar. The singing became clearer and clearer. Yun Zhao's hand gently knocked on the wall, singing softly.
That was the battle song of the Northern Army.
Brothers, go, go!
Brothers, go, go!
Brothers, go!
Follow the battle flag in a swarm,
Never look back,
Go back and miss the dawn,
Can't catch up with the decisive battle!
The army was getting closer and closer, and the singing became louder and louder. On the walls of Huo City, the soldiers on duty also began to sing loudly. The song reached the city, and the soldiers under the city began to hum, and the sound of war songs passed by. In a moment, the sound of high war songs sounded in the city and outside the city. The song rushed straight to the clouds and the snow on the city tower fell. Han Zhong changed color slightly. Looking back at Malihan, his face was pale.
In the distance, the army in front had just seen a little clearer. The flag marked their belongings, the first, second posts, etc. Although they were reserves, looking at the appearance of their military appearance, equipment, and weapons they were holding, Han Zhong's hand shrank in his sleeves was still trembling constantly.
The reserve army walked to the bottom of the city tower where Yun Zhao was, stood solemnly. In the distance, one similar army after another appeared in the sight of everyone on the city tower. It seemed endless and endless.
An hour later, more than 50,000 reserve troops had accumulated in the field beneath Yun Zhao. In the distance, there were endless figures of people appearing, but it was no longer an army, but countless civilians who pushed wheelbarrows, drove mule carts, and horse carts, and stopped further away.
Yun Zhao stepped onto the battlements with his feet and stood with his legs. Under the city, a reserve officer trotted out of the queue, turned over and knelt down in the snow in the city.
"The Chima Camp in Chima County, Yizhou reported to the governor that all three thousand people were present, so please review the governor!"
"The reserve Lingao Battalion of the Lingao County Reserve in Yizhou reported to the governor that all three thousand personnel were present, so please review the governor!"
...
Seeing a military officer loudly reporting to Yun Zhao’s name, Han Zhong’s face turned pale. It turned out that Yun Zhao wanted him to see these.
"Presist the Northern Army!" Yun Zhao raised his arms and shouted on the city wall.
"Wansheng!" Under the city, tens of thousands of reserve soldiers pointed their weapons at the hands of the sky and responded loudly.
"Strike the Northern Army!"
"Wan Sheng!"
