Chapter 259 The hearts of the people, the hearts of the army, the hearts of the soldiers

At that time, the public opinion of Shaanxi was affected by the public opinion of the two rivers in the Central Plains, and it had gradually gotten rid of the shroud of the private power of the surname Zhao, and the concept of "China is more important than a king" gradually entered the hearts of the people, so Zhao Gou wanted to launch a war to benefit the gold and damage China, so he had to rely on the strange. And at that time, Zhao Gou didn't leave much time for Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun wanted to hold the generals hostage between his backhands, so he had to make this strategy.

However, Zhang Jun's lie was too fragile, and the war between the north and the south revealed Zhao Go's ugly deeds. This time, even the Shaanxi generals are also in trouble. Qinchuan and Hedong and Henan belong to one, and the military generals of the two places either marry or make friends, and the relationship is extremely close. The evil things done by the Qin people this time not only greatly benefited the Jin people, but also indirectly killed hundreds of thousands of compatriots who fought in Yan and Zhao, and in the case of being out of the control of the administrative power of Zhao and Song, Lianghe, Qilu and even Bianluo all scolded those who knew about it, and the traitor's hat was buttoned down, and the Shaanxi soldiers were all ashamed and humiliated - they all felt that they were deceived by Zhang Jun!

However, as soon as the military pattern of the confrontation between Qin and Jin was established, Zhang Jun was able to use military law to suppress the whole territory, and many generals dared not speak out in anger although they were dissatisfied, let alone put into action - because once they acted, it would mean betrayal of the Great Song Dynasty. After all, there is still a certain distance between the urge to vent anger and wash away the notoriety and the official rebellion against the Song Dynasty. Zhang Jun also expected this kind of situation and dared to do so in the first place. In the following time, as long as he was cautious and used the pretext of launching an offensive against Hedong, he slowly strengthened his control over the military states, and he would be able to successfully complete the task assigned to him by Zhao Gou.

It was under this circumstance that Cao Guangbi's second envoy, Shi Yisheng, crossed the river into Shaanxi. At this time, Zhang Jun was in Tongzhou on the west bank of the Yellow River, confronting the garrison of the Hedong Army in Hezhongfu. Originally, the garrison of the Hedong Army in Hezhong Mansion was only a few thousand, and neither the strength nor combat effectiveness could be compared with the Shaanxi Army under Zhang Jun's command, but in this one-sided situation of public opinion, Zhang Jun did not dare to rush into the army. As Cao Guangbi and Liu Qi expected, although he claimed to be advancing eastward, in fact he had no intention of crossing the river from the beginning, but just wanted to pose a threat to the Han army.

Shi Yisheng came to negotiate as an envoy, but Zhang Jun was weak-hearted, and he had already waited in Hexi, and when he heard that it was Cao Guangbi's envoy, he was immediately arrested in the name of a spy. But Shi Yisheng came with great fanfare this time, and many generals of the Shaanxi army knew that he was coming before he crossed the river, and some of them even read the text he brought, so after Shi Yisheng was arrested, Li Yanxian, the general of Shaanzhou, was the first to come to Zhang Jun to ask for his reason.

Zhang Jun said: "It is indeed a spy, not a messenger." ”

Li Yanxian said unhappily: "Xuanfu! Shi Yisheng is not a nobody! He was a member of the Tai students, and he was already quite famous when he was in Bianliang. Since he crossed the river with Cao Guangbi to resist Jin, most of the anti-Jin essays of the Zhongwu Army were drafted by him, because his articles are very rational, so Shilin is quite important, and even my Qinchuan generals have many people who are grateful for reading their articles. Cao Guangbi is going to send a spy, and he won't send such a person! said that he was a spy, who in the world believed him? This kind of excuse is used to coax illiterate martial artists, and I am afraid that they can't be coaxed. ”

Zhang Jun was annoyed and said angrily: "Master Li, what do you mean by this, do you say that Ben Xuanfu is deceiving!" ”

Li Yanxian sneered: "Yes or no, Xuanfu knows it in his heart!" ”

Zhang Jun said angrily: "Wow! The dignity and humility of the army and the etiquette order of the court, you are now all like nothing! Hmph, but I don't know who supported you, Cao Guangbi? Orihiko Chong? ”

Li Yanxian's eyes opened, and he didn't show weakness: "Who supports me?" What supports me is the teachings of the sages and the laws of the court! There is a saying: the two countries exchange troops, and they do not kill them. What's more, the Han Department and I were originally allies, and when they were in a hurry, we raised troops to attack the Han, which was already a loss. Now that Cao Guangbi has sent an envoy, Xuanfu is unwilling to receive him, nor is he imprisoned as a spy. ”

Zhang Jun said angrily: "It's the opposite! It's the other way around! What is your intention to slander the court so much! ”

"Again?" Li Yanxian sneered: "But I don't know who faked the war report, and I was so tired that the whole territory of Shaanxi became a treacherous person!" ”

Zhang Jun was furious, pulled out his sword and was about to kill Li Yanxian, but the generals next to him hurriedly persuaded him, but Li Yanxian waited for the killing, and shouted: "Come on, Xuanfu!" Kill me! Since the beginning of the army, you have detained us under many pretexts, and it is not for your own dictatorship? Kill me now, just to take over Shaanzhou! ”

Zhang Jun's heart was shocked, and his anger was even worse. In fact, with his cultivation, he would not have been so irritable, but what he had done during this period of time was really not what he wanted, from the moment he took over Zhao Gou's secret decree, he knew that he had betrayed this infamy, but he knew that Li Yanxian was the first to provoke his mind in public.

In the midst of the chaos of the Shaanxi generals, the spies hurriedly reported: The Hedong Army actually sent two large armies to attack and wanted to swallow Qinchuan. Zhang Jun and the generals were all shocked when they heard this, and Wu Jue said: "Didn't they just be defeated? How can we still have the strength to attack us? Don't be a false positive! ”

The spy said, "This news has been inquired about for sure. The Hedong Army does not seem to hide this matter. ”

Wang Shu asked, "Which two troops are coming?" Who will the Lord be? ”

The spy said: "Both groups of people and horses set off from Taiyuan. The commander of the North Road is Liu Qi, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, who is said to have crossed the river from Daning, entered Yan'an, and committed my Luzhou and Fangzhou; The commander of the South Road is the grandson of the late Shaobao, and the Zhongwu Army is the commander of Yansong, and it is said that he will pass through Jiezhou, first take Shaanzhou, and then enter Tongguan, and join the North Road in Chang'an. ”

Hearing the names of Chong Yansong and Liu Qi, all the generals present were embarrassed. Although the two young generals of the Han Department are prestigious, Qu Duan, Wang Shu, Li Yanxian, etc. may not be afraid of them, the problem is that these two people are not only famous families, but also children who have gone out from Shaanxi, and they are all active in the anti-gold battlefield of Lianghe all the year round. If Chong Yansong and Liu Qi led troops to attack Shaanxi under other circumstances, then the people of Shaanxi would scold them for betraying their hometown to seek glory. But now the generals of Shaanxi do not have this confidence, and they are even afraid to face these two people.

Wang Shu asked the spy, "How did you know about the routes of these two routes of soldiers and horses?" ”

Qu Duan snorted and sneered: "Then what else do you use to spy knowledge?" They came this time to ask the teacher openly, and they didn't come to sneak attack, and they were afraid that we wouldn't be able to do it? ”

Wang Shu and Qu Duanshi were the same ice and fire, but they were silent when they heard this. Zhao Zhe asked Zhang Jun: "Xuanfu, what should I do now?" ”

Zhang Jun snorted and said: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover it!" Will be in Chang'an? I'm afraid they have this breath and don't have this ability! He glanced at Liu Xi again and said, "Lord Liu, Brother Ling has betrayed the imperial court, what do you think we should do?" ”

Liu Xi is not only Liu Qi's brother, but also Cao Guangbi's brother-in-law, at this time, he also knew that he was involved in serious doubts, and sighed: "Xuanfu asked like this, there must have been a plan, Liu Xi should kill the prisoner, Xuanfu can be decided with one word, why say more?" ”

The generals all felt a little sad when they heard Liu Xi's words, and looked at Zhang Jun together to see how he dealt with it. Zhang Jun looked around at the generals and saw that everyone's eyes were different, so he didn't dare to deal with it seriously, but said: "The imperial court believes in Lord Liu's loyalty, but when this melon field is under Li Xia, it is about to relieve Lord Liu's military handle." ”

Liu Xihe smiled and said: "Liu Xi thanked Zhang Xuanfu for his grace of not killing!" ”

At that moment, Zhang Jun assigned generals to defend all key points. Among all the places, Shaanzhou is the most dangerous, serious and urgent, but Zhang Jun just didn't arrange for Li Yanxian to go back, and Li Yanxian didn't even mention this matter, it seems that the enemy is currently interested in cooperating with Zhang Jun.

That night, Zhang Jun, who was worried about Liu Qi and Chong Yansong, and also worried about Liu Xi and others, was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep until the fourth watch, when suddenly the guards knocked on the door and reported urgently, Zhang Jun came out and asked what was the matter, and the guards said: "Lord Li Yanxian's barracks are empty!" People don't know where they're going. ”

Zhang Jun was frightened, and hurriedly asked people to search, and it took a long time before the message replied: "Someone went out of the city during the second watch, and I thought it was just an ordinary spy at the time, but I had fled far away when I found it, and it was dark and dark, so I didn't chase after it." ”

Zhang Jun was in a hurry, groaned slightly, and hurriedly ordered Wu Ling to lead the light cavalry to chase, and ordered Wu Juquan to pass the judgment on behalf of Shaanzhou and go to Shaanzhou to take over the military defense.
