At the beginning of Zhang Jun's tenure, he was quite good at employing people, and he first took Zhao Kai as a transfer envoy with the army, and was in charge of Sichuan's financial endowment. This Zhao Kai has simply become the God of Wealth of the Sichuan, Shaanxi and Song Army, and has made the finances impressive.

Then Zhang Jun took Qu Duan as the mighty general, Xuanfu disposed of the division of the system, originally Qu Duan and the Song general Wang Shu were not in harmony, he took advantage of the defeat of the Song army Bagongyuan, detained and wanted to kill Wang Shu, causing the suspicion of the imperial court, Zhang Jun to the whole family to protect Qu Duan will not rebel, Zhang Jun and recommended Wu Jue, Wu Lu as generals, these two have been fighting bloodily later, trying to protect Shu land is not invaded.

The Jin Dynasty general Wan Yan Lou captured Shaanzhou, and drove straight into Tongguan, Qu Duan sent Wu Jue to reject Peng Yuan, and he led his troops to Pizhou to rescue. The Jin army's forward evacuated and drank with a big grin to lead the troops in, and was attacked head-on by Wu Jue's Song army, and the Jin army's fierce general, who rarely missed, withdrew and cried in fear, and secretly ridiculed him for the Jin army and called him a crying Langjun.

Although the first battle was successful, but the number of Wu Jue Song army was too small, and soon the two sides fought again, the Song army was defeated, retreated to Jingyuan, and the Jin army took advantage of the victory to burn down the city of Pizhou. Wu Jue complained that his boss Qu Duan did not send troops to rescue, and Qu Duan accused Wu Duan of violating the festival, so the two had a gap.

Wu Jue was demoted because of the defeat, Zhang Jun cherished his talents, and soon promoted Wu Jue to the deputy head of Qin Feng. When the Jin people entered the Kou, Zhang Jun advocated that the five-fingered fist should concentrate the main force to attack the Jin army, but Quduan, who was in Weizhou, thought that they should defend the fortified city according to the danger of the troops, and sent troops to attack the Jin army from time to time, waiting for the other party to be poor and then destroy it in one fell swoop. Zhang Jun was displeased that Qu Duan did not agree with his own strategy, so he was estranged from him.

Soon, Jin Wushu invaded and wandered around the Jianghuai area, Zhang Jun wanted to send troops to involve the offensive, and Qu Duan spoke again: "Fighting in the vast area of the plain, the enemy is easy to gallop and rush, and our army is still relatively familiar with water warfare, and the strong forces of the Jin people are difficult to compete with them. Now is the best time to train the army to fatten horses and defend the territory, and wait for a decisive battle for ten years. ”

This kind of old-fashioned and serious suggestion is simply a cold water pour for Zhang Jun, who is eager to make meritorious contributions. Qu Duan spoke very straightforwardly: "Zhang Xuanfu, if your army can be undefeated, I, Qu Duan, will definitely commit suicide with a sword to apologize." ”

Zhang Jun was angered by this: "If I don't win, I should lose my head to you, the general." ”

So under the annoyance and anger, the two also made their own military orders, but after meditating, Zhang Jun was angry that Qu Duan did not adhere to him in public, so Zhang Jun blamed Qu Duan for Peng Yuan's defeat, relieved him of his military power, and demoted him to the deputy envoy of Haizhou regimental training. Jin Wuxuan, who had just experienced the danger of Huang Tiandang, heard that Zhang Jun wanted to part ways to attack Shaanxi, so he took the initiative to send troops to Liuhe, came to Shaanxi, and attacked Shaanxi with Wanyan Lou's room.

Hearing that the Jin Wushu Jin army was about to be killed, Zhang Jun hurriedly dispatched troops and summoned Sun Wei of Qinfeng Road, Liu Xi of Xihe Road, Liu Qi of Jingyuan Road, Zhao Zhe of Huanqing Road and the sergeants of Wu Jue's department, a total of 400,000 people and 70,000 war horses, with Liu Xi as the commander, to prepare for a decisive battle with the Jin army.

Wang Yan, the former general of the eight-character army, advised: "Shaanxi's generals, the upper and lower military conditions are not common, in case of a war is unfavorable, the soldiers and horses of the five roads are defeated, it is better to fortify the city according to the danger, in case there is a mistake, you can also take care of each other." ”

Wang Yan's insight is actually comparable to Qu Duan, and Wu Jue also believes that he should guard the key points. However, Zhang Jun did not listen, and said that the purpose of fighting with the Jin army in Shaanxi was to reduce the oppression in the southeast, to contain the Jin soldiers, and to ensure the safety of Gaozong Zhao Gou. It is a pity that Zhang Jun's 400,000-strong army could have taken the lead in attacking and destroying the Jin Vulture army that was exhausted from the southeast, but he was willing to seek the near and far, and vigorously issued a formal battle letter to fight the Jin army led by Wanyan Lou Room in Suide.

Liu Xi, as the commander-in-chief, consulted with the generals. Wu Jue believed that the offensive of the Song army in the plains was unfavorable and that he should climb the heights and take risks. The rest of the generals despised the enemy, believing that the middle ground between the Song army and the Jin army was a swamp, and the Jin cavalry could not rush forward, and the Song army had an advantage in numbers, so there was no need to choose the high ground.

In fact, if the Song army diverged ways and suddenly attacked Yan Lou's army, the possibility of victory was also very high. But Zhang Jun, a scholar, said: "If you want to fight, you must first submit a war book, and make an appointment to fight on a day." ”

So he sent people to gallop to the gold camp on horseback to deliver the war book, but the gold people did not reciprocate. Zhang Jun was annoyed, and Zhang Bang announced: "If there are people who can capture Yan Lou's room alive, even ordinary people can immediately grant the Jiedu envoy and reward 10,000 silver silks." ”

Wanyan Lou Room smiled when he heard this, and also sent someone to make a list: "There is someone who can capture Zhang Jun alive, reward a donkey, and a cloth." ”

After the two armies confronted each other, they climbed high to look at the camp accounts of the Song army, and said with a smile: "There are thousands of holes, and it is very easy to break!"

Zhang Jun wrote a war letter again, and the Jin people pretended to agree, but when the time came, they would not fight, and Zhang Jun and others thought that the Jin army was cowardly.

After judging the situation, he suddenly led his troops to attack and ordered people to throw dirt bags in the swamp, paved a road in an instant, and soon rushed into the Song army camps. Liu Qi was brave and brave, led the sergeants to attack, killed a lot of enemies, and the battle was stalemate for a while, and the victory or defeat was not scored. At the critical moment, the Jin iron cavalry rushed directly into Zhao Zhe's army, and the rest of the Song army had no time to support, and the Song army led by Zhao Zhe was defeated, and the 400,000 Song Dynasty army.

The Jin army took advantage of the victory to advance, and Guanshan fell. Zhang Jun, who was supervising the war in Pizhou, heard the defeat and hurriedly retired to Qinzhou, recalled the Song Dynasty and beheaded Zhao Zhe, arrested the commander Liu Xi, and exiled him to Hezhou, and then Zhang Jun himself wrote a letter to ask for guilt. At this time, Zhang Jun was very embarrassed, there were only more than 1,000 personal soldiers around him, his mood was greatly depressed, fortunately, Liu Ziyu, who participated in the military, came to Qinzhou on a single horse, and appeased the Song generals who fled from all walks of life, and more than 100,000 people returned to the team, and the army was revitalized again.

The Jin army entered Fujin, Tonggu and other places, and approached Xingzhou, but in desperation, Zhang Jun retired to Langzhou. Zhang Jun took Wu Jue as the commander of all roads in Shaanxi, and Wu Jue, the commander-in-chief of all roads in Shaanxi, was probably just an empty name, because most of the Guan Shaanxi fell into the hands of the Jin army.

In September, Zhang Jun killed Qu Duan, the former general of Wuwei. Originally, the defeat of the 400,000 army, Zhang Jun remembered what Qu Duan said before, and he regretted it very much, so he summoned Qu Duan to Langzhou and prepared to reactivate him.

But Wu Jue hated this old boss deeply, and he persuaded Zhang Jun: "Qu Duan's comeback will definitely be bad for you." And wrote the words "Qu Duan rebelled" on the palm of his hand to imply Zhang Jun.

Wang Shu, who was trapped by Qu Duan in the past and was almost killed, hated this old subordinate even more, and told him that Qu Duan had inscribed a poem on the pillar: "I don't want to rejuvenate the emperor in Guanzhong, but I come to the river to fish on the boat." Apparently satirizing the saints of today.

Wang Shu said again: "In the battle of Fuping, you have a covenant with Qu Duan to win or lose, what face do you have to reuse this person today?"

After the persuasion of several people, Zhang Jun, a civil servant, was narrow-minded, and he was afraid that Qu Duan would repeat his previous defeat after his meritorious promotion in the future, and his murderous heart suddenly rose. After consulting with the generals, he sent someone to immediately arrest Qu Duan and put him in prison, and appointed a military general named Kang Sui to preside over the case.

This Kang Sui was originally Qu Duan's subordinate, and he was once whipped by Qu Duan for being convicted, and he hated Qu Duan to the bone. Qu Duan was in prison and heard that Kang Sui had been appointed as the chief judge, and immediately sighed: "I will definitely die." ”

He also called out to the heavens, and shouted: "The iron elephant is a pity!" The iron elephant is the name of the horse at the end of the curve, and can gallop four hundred miles a day.

Kang Sui entered the cell, not to try any case at all, but directly sent the jailer to use an iron cage to pack Quduan up, lock his hands and feet, and seal Quduan's mouth and nose with tissue paper, and then ordered to build charcoal fires around him to roast the general. Under the roasting and frying, Qu Duan's limbs were full of oil and burned, and he was extremely thirsty for drink, so Kang Sui ordered the jailer to pour the prepared soju into Qu Duan's mouth, and General Qu bled to death at the age of forty-one.

Although Qu Duan has a rigid personality and is overbearing, he is alert and knowledgeable, good at literature, and is good at military strategy, and has defeated Jin Bing many times, and is a fearful figure of the enemy, so he died unjustly in the fight in his own people's nest.

Previously, when the Jin army was fighting with the Song army in Fuping, Zhang Jun's Song army raised the Quduan flag to scare the Jin army. Jin Shuai Wanyan Lou Room already knew that Qu Duan was not in the army, and stroked his palms and laughed: "Are you still scaring me with Qu Duan's name?"

The imperial court of Gaozong in Jiangnan learned of the defeat of Guan Shaanxi, and suspected that Zhang Jun had innocently killed Zhao Zhe and Qu Duan, so they recalled him to Hangzhou. Zhang Jun's old rival Xin Bing was the middle of the imperial history at the time, so he co-signed a letter to impeach Zhang Jun for losing his teacher and land, and he was relegated to Fuzhou for resettlement.

Zhang Jun is a loyal and righteous minister, but he will not be far away, he is narrow-minded, the loss of Guan Shaanxi, and the death of Qu Duan are all caused by him. Of course, Zhang Jun's political life is far from over, and he will enter the court again in the future, and he has done a lot of good and bad things.

After the victory of Fuping, the Jin army invaded all the places of Guanlong Liulu, and took advantage of the victory to advance and force the monk Yuan. The Song general Wu Jue led the army to guard this important stronghold from Guanshan to Hanzhong, and fought three major battles in the western front, namely Monk Yuan, Rao Feng Pass, and Xianren Pass, and finally made the land of Sichuan and Shu not lost, and preserved the southeast of the Southern Song Dynasty, and was still able to maintain half of the rivers and mountains.

Wu Jue, the word Jinqing, Shao Shen Yi has ambitions, knows soldiers and is good at riding and shooting, and can read to understand righteousness. As the son of a military general, Wu Jue served as a colonel in the Jingyuan Army when he was young, and he rushed into battle in the war against Western Xia and made many military exploits. Later, he crusaded against Fang La and swept away the thieves in Hebei, all of whom had the figure of Wu Jue, the tenth general of Jingyuan. After Jingkang, Wu Jue repeatedly clashed with the Jin army in the Guanlong area.

After the defeat of Zhang Jun Fuping, Wu Jue was ordered to retire the monk Yuan, accumulate Su and raise troops, and the column gate was a plan to defend to the death. Someone persuaded Wu Jue that he should retire from Hanzhong to choke Shukou, Wu Jue said with emotion: "I defend this place, the gold thief will never dare to cross me, and the garrison here is to defend Shu." ”

At that time, the two brothers Wu Jue and Wu Ling only led thousands of stragglers, and they were isolated from each other, and they had no fixed will, and some people secretly advised them to rob and rob the Wu brothers and surrender to the Jin army. After Wu Jue learned the news, he summoned all the generals to make a bloody alliance, and aroused everyone with loyalty, and the soldiers wept with emotion.

The people of nearby Fengxiang ignored the threat of the Jin people, and successively sent Su Su to help him at night. The Jin people were furious, and the soldiers killed the people who were transporting grain in the Weihe River, and issued an order to protect the armor and sit together, and the people dared to risk the Song army as accomplices, and the people in the occupied areas were grateful for Wu Jue's loyalty and gave the Song army great support.
