Chapter 537: The Zhao Guan's Ambition
Night.
In Dingzhou, on the west bank of the Yalu River, Zhang Jun and Zhang Boying, who are currently the prime ministers of Haidong, sat in the study, and there were several thick military books on the desk in front of them.
In the open study room in front of the desk, there is a large long wooden table, and the large sand table on the table is a model of the territory of Goryeo made by the Ministry of War in combination with the information obtained from various aspects over the years.
Whether it is Xijing or Kaijing, whether it is the Yalu River, the Tumen River and the Nakdong River, or the Tamna Island at the eastern end of the peninsula, all of them are clear and clearly visible on the sand table.
Zhang Jun is now nearly fifty years old, and his talent and qualifications are not very outstanding, but he is the first group of people to follow the emperor, and he has also been on the battlefield for a long time, and has made many meritorious achievements.
Although it cannot be compared with Han Yue and others, it is much inferior to Liu Ziyu, but Zhang Jun himself is already very satisfied.
The difficult life in his early years and many years of military career have brought him indelible traces, and his face is covered with wind and frost, even today's rich life cannot erase it.
At this moment, Zhang Junzheng was seriously looking at the military book he was holding in one hand, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and after reading for a while, he put down the book in his hand, his eyes were concentrated, and he was thinking hard about something.
During this period, he also walked to the sand table from time to time to look at the territory of Goryeo.
The military book in Zhang Jun's hand is a strategy book compiled by military academies such as the Wuluo Academy and the Jiangwutang in recent years, and the military department and the governor's office of the five armies, according to the political, social, military and other factors of Goryeo. In the second half, there are two detailed sand table deductions about the Goryeo strategy.
This book is a 'secret book' with a high level of secrecy in Zhao and Song, and if Zhang Jun hadn't been in a special position, he would have been afraid that he would not have heard a word about this book until he died.
For a 'complacent' general, the sudden battle of Goryeo was an absolute surprise.
If others could have expected this scene today, Zhang Jun believed that he would definitely not be able to plan this good position.
Who would have thought that a position called 'pension' would suddenly become a fat shortage with battles to fight and meritorious deeds?
Earlier, most people's eyes were on the northwest.
Zhang Jun has been asleep several times this time and woke up for Le.
He really regarded the position of Haidong's chief as an "idle position" before. I feel like I've been in this position for a few years, and when I'm fifty years old, I'm officially taking a back seat. Or go to the Central Plains to be the head of the capital, or go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to make a transition, and when you are sixty, you can completely retire.
Who would have thought that there was such a beautiful thing waiting for him?
Great luck, that's big luck.
As long as this battle is fought well, Zhang Jun feels that he is also qualified to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to be a deputy governor.
The lights in the study were on all night.
In the early morning, when everything was silent, the sky had just revealed the white of the fish's belly, and a glimmer of light on the eastern horizon was carefully infiltrating the light blue sky, and a new day gradually moved from afar.
Zhang Jun's governor's office was far away in Tamna Island (Jeju Island), and his foothold in Dingzhou was just an ordinary courtyard, next to the school field outside, he did not bring his wife and children, and there were basically no women in the entire house, and all the people who came in and out were soldiers.
At this time, the army had already begun to assemble in the school grounds.
The Song army is now well fed and warmly clothed, even though it is not a big exercise every day, but the big drill is a joint drill gathered by all branches of the army, and it is a completely different concept from ordinary drill running.
Now Song Jun in the school field is gathering to run exercises. Check out the CPLA's daily five-kilometer run.
It's all a day-to-day operation.
Even if the garrison in Dingzhou is just an ordinary garrison.
Zhang Jun listened attentively, and could hear the neat footsteps of the soldiers.
In this Goryeo War, the Song army and navy troops were stationed in Dingzhou, and the soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction were not limited to the Haidong Governor's Office.
The latter has only more than 5,000 troops, but now the number of troops gathered in Dingzhou has reached tens of thousands.
The Anton Army led by Liu Guangshi came quickly!
Blow and extinguish the whale oil lamp. Zhang Jun stood up and turned out from behind the desk. Compared to a room heated by a charcoal fire, the air outside is cold and penetrates the skin.
Standing on the steps, he sighed in his hands, moved his joints again, and there was a crunching sound. He practiced his fists and feet in the yard.
Although he is old and his status is high, Zhang Jun's kung fu has not been wasted.
A trip to the tiger and the tiger with fists and feet.
After all, today's saints do not leave their arrows, and they will inspect the Beijing camp, ride horses and shoot arrows, and shoot every shot.
As an active military general, how can Zhang Jun be shy and just enjoy?
Before Zhang Jun finished his set of punches, Liu Guangshi and Qiu Yi had already come in from outside the courtyard and stood next to him waiting for him to close his momentum.
One of these two is a lieutenant general, and the other is a member of the army.
In his hand, he still held a thick stack of scrolls.
"Zhang Xianggong, this is the account book of the army."
The soldiers are about to be pulled, and Zhang Jun has a rough number of weapons and grain in the army. But he also has to look at the books, right?
"The two of you will talk about it when you enter the house."
There was a brazier burning in the corner of the room, and when I entered the house, the whole person was warm.
"What is this?"
After entering the house, Zhang Jun did not look at the account book, but took out a red fold first.
"Your Majesty's Secret Decree."
Liu Guangshi and Qiu Wei's faces immediately changed, not shocked and frightened, but full of joy. Everyone knows what a secret decree represents at this time.
"Your Majesty's secret decree, let me wait for the opportunity to mobilize the army, and when to cross the river and march eastward, it is up to us to decide. According to the news from Jinyiwei, Wu Jun, the envoy of Baozhou, has abandoned the darkness and surrendered to the light, and the officials and generals in the city have also bowed their heads, and the governor is determined to send troops to Baozhou. I wonder what you two think? ”
Jinyiwei's intelligence Liu Guangshi and Qiu Yi also knew, but the secret purpose was what they didn't know.
Zhang Jun sat in the first seat, with a serious face and deep eyes, looking at the two people sitting next and asking.
"Baozhou is ready for everything, and only owes Shangfeng's order to send troops. Now that you have Your Majesty's secret command, when will you not send troops immediately? Liu Guangshi's eyes were full of excitement.
Such a great opportunity for meritorious service is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a person like him. God knows how His Majesty thought of him and used him to lead troops to help Zhang Jun.
But no matter what the reason, Liu Guangshi must seize this great opportunity.
Zhang Jun nodded and said slowly: "Since this is the case, then I will wait for tomorrow to raise troops to the east." Liu Xianggong can be the vanguard of the army and lead the Anton Army first. There is a way to be a soldier and a nobleman, and Liu Xianggong must take Baozhou! ”
After breaking Baozhou, the army was about to face the Great Wall of Goryeo, whose garrison was still in disarray.
Tuo Junjing's name is not small, but the old commander of the border army on the Great Wall is difficult to completely control the border army for a while.
At this time, the sudden killing of the Song army will definitely give Xijing a great deterrent. And the direct landing of the sailors subordinate to the Haidong Governor's Mansion on the coast of Xijing can also make Miaoqing and his ilk clearly feel the advance of the Great Song Dynasty.
And then what will they do?
Is it to return to the army to stick to Xijing and kill the Song army? Or go all out to the east and enter Kaijing?
Zhang Jun felt that as long as they were not stupid, Miaoqing would definitely make a correct choice.
At that time, Goryeo will be the real chaos.
And they really ushered in the opportunity to make great achievements.
Don't look at Goryeo is still a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, and they also went to 'rescue' Goryeo, but who in the world today doesn't know the ambitions of the Zhao official family in Bianjing?
