Chapter 22 Find a person who carries the black cauldron

Zhang Bin knew very well that the mobilization of the army at this time was not to defend, but to attack, and with the location of Dashun City, to be precise, it was actually to attack White Leopard City.

Since ancient times, siege warfare has been the most arduous and time-consuming, and the most important thing is that the casualties are also very large, not to mention that although the Western Xia army suffered a big loss in this invasion, it has always been in the face of the Great Song Dynasty, it still wins more and loses less, and on the whole, the Western thief army is much stronger than the Song army.

In addition, there is another key - most of what Han Jiang said is not what the imperial court meant, although now the western thieves still have soldiers and horses to loot on the two roads of Yanyan and Huanqing, Han Jiang's dispatch of troops to the White Leopard City can be interpreted as a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and the court and the Son of Heaven will not say anything.

But if he is defeated, with Han Jiang's personality or the virtue of the vast majority of civil officials, he will definitely find a military general to carry the black pot.

Obviously, Han Jiang's words are to find a person who carries the black pot, some smart people, such as a kind of squint, are silent, and the reinforcement generals on both sides also bow their heads and say nothing.

Of course, there are also those who don't see the danger in it, but the three main generals did not say anything, and there are few generals who crossed the main generals to ask for battle, if Liu Changzuo's character was in the past, most of them would have stood up and rushed to carry this black cauldron, but this time Liu Changzuo has made a great contribution, and he did not stand up after a little hesitation.

Han Jiang always had a faint smile on his face, but Zhang Bin noticed that there was a deep look of disappointment in the eyes of the deputy minister.

After briefly saying a few words of encouragement to the generals and making a few more requests, Han Jiang asked everyone to retreat and went to the courtyard of the post house to rest.

……

……

After Zhang Bin left the White Tiger Hall, he was a little worried that Han Jiang's goal had not been achieved, and he was afraid that it would affect some people's rewards.

He himself is a civil official, and with a well-known father like Zhang Zai, even Han Jiang will not easily lose his reward, not to mention that his own merits are big enough to reach the heavens.

But Liu Changzuo and Wang Sunchen are different, Han Jiang may not be greedy for their merits, but the reward of the two is only in Han Jiang's words.

Whether it was to train the two arms in the army, or considering that he had promised Liu Changzuo and Wang Sunchen to help them implement the reward, Zhang Bin felt that it was necessary for him to meet Han Jiang alone.

And just when Zhang Bin was thinking about visiting Han Jiang, the latter sent his entourage over and asked him to come over for questioning.

Zhang Bin's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed what Han Jiang might be asking, and said, "This brother, please go back first, and the next official will come back to prepare a gift." ”

The entourage frowned and said, "Senator Zhang, you'd better hurry up, this Dashun City doesn't know how many people are looking forward to being summoned by Xianggong for questioning, what an honor this is." ”

After speaking, the entourage turned around and left with a grim face.

"The seventh rank official in front of the prime minister." Zhang Bin suddenly remembered this sentence, sighed in his heart, and no longer paid attention to the entourage of the dog's power, but hurriedly got on the horse and left.

Naturally, he didn't really go home to prepare gifts, but went to an independent military camp in the city, which was the military camp of the three thousand Black Luo cavalry.

I don't know if Hegdo did it intentionally or unintentionally, but it was the one who led the three thousand men and horses that was in conflict with him and could threaten his patriarch's younger brother Hei Muyang.

Perhaps in Hegdo's view, Zhang Bin and these 3,000 people are more than lucky, and he may be looking forward to his younger brother Hei Muyang dying on the battlefield without swords and guns.

And Zhang Bin intentionally, he has a very good relationship with Heimuyang these days, and now he wants to inquire about some news from his mouth, and test some of Heimuyang's ideas.

……

……

Half an hour later, Zhang Bin came to the door of the post house and saw Wu Pei nodding and saying something to a subordinate official of Han Jiang at the door of the post house, and the subordinate officer shook his head and said, "Wu Jianjun, the minister said that he would not invite people to ask questions at this time, please go back!" ”

Zhang Bin witnessed this scene, and then looked at the carriage with obvious indentation behind Wu Pei, and knew that most of them were heavy gold and silver in it, and thought that Wu Pei was here to give gifts.

Song Shi officialdom giving gifts is nothing, no matter whether Wu Pei wants to be transferred back to Kyoto, or has other purposes, it is normal to seize the opportunity to give gifts to a big man like Han Jiang, but obviously the gift failed, and he couldn't even enter the door.

At this time, when Han Jiang's subordinate saw Zhang Bin, his eyes lit up, and he no longer paid attention to Wu Pei, but greeted him and said politely: "Senator Zhang, please come with me." ”

As he spoke, he was about to invite Zhang Bin in, but Wu Pei looked at him next to him and suddenly became jealous, his eyes were on fire, and he couldn't help but say: "Why can Zhang Bin, a small senator with no official qualities, go in, but this official can't go in." ”

That subordinate official was actually Han Jiang's staff, and his expression suddenly turned cold, and he said, "You can also ask about the affairs of the Xianggong." ”

Wu Pei suddenly felt speechless, his face changed, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The lower official is speechless." ”

The staff had already ignored Wu Pei and took Zhang Bin into the post house.

Wu Pei looked at Zhang Bin's back, secretly hated, and got into the carriage with a gloomy face.

……

……

"Humble and meet the minister!" Zhang Bin walked into the room, didn't dare to look up first, and fell directly to the ground.

With his current status, he is equivalent to an ordinary clerk in later generations to meet a deputy state-level boss, it is not wrong to be humble or arrogant, but the posture must be sufficient, not to mention that judging from the bureaucratic style of Han Jiang's entourage and staff, Han Jiang mostly cares about the respectful attitude shown to him by others.

And Han Jiang is a famous minister in the annals of history, although he can't compare to Wang Anshi and Fan Zhongyan, but there are many deeds that have been passed down through the ages, and he can get to this high position today, and there is no shortage of merits, qualifications and outstanding deeds.

"Ziyu, don't be polite." Han Jiang's voice was very gentle.

"Xie Xianggong." Zhang Bin got up and looked over, and saw Han Jiang twisting the three long strands of beard under his chin, looking extremely energetic, and his eyes were sharp, and he seemed to have forgotten the unswerving thing that the generals of the White Tiger Hall did not respond to him before.

"Sit down." Han Jiang glanced at Zhang Bin and said casually.

"I don't dare." Zhang Bin hurriedly said.

The big guy is polite, that is to be approachable, if he really sits down, it will be stupid, after all, the gap between the identities of the two is too big.

Sure enough, Han Jiang just said politely, and then he didn't say any nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Ziyu has made a lot of contributions this time, and he has such quick wisdom and talent at a young age, and he deserves to be a famous Confucian disciple." ”

"Thank you for your appreciation, this is all the result of the great command of the Taiwei, Wang Dutou and General Liu bravely killing the enemy, and they dare not be greedy for merit." Zhang Bin hurriedly said.

"The merits you have made are too great, and you have no right to decide on some rewards, but you will truthfully ask the court and Your Majesty for credit." Han Jiang's eyes were even more appreciative, at Zhang Bin's age, he had made such a great contribution, and he was able to stabilize his mind, seeing that he calmly answered without saying anything, and pushed the credit to his colleagues, it was really rare.

Of course, what Han Jiang valued more was that Zhang Bin was able to borrow 3,000 cavalry from the Heiluo Division, and this incident gave him a very bold idea.
