Chapter 172: The Crusade (1)

In ancient times, there has never been a shortage of dramas in which women chase men, such as Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru are good examples. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe latter relied on his talent and appearance to fascinate the super white rich beauty Zhuo Wenjun and was willing to elope.

But Zhang Jun is not a scumbag who eats soft rice, and his relationship with the little lady of the Chen family is more similar to the daughter of a corporate executive who falls in love with the domineering president of the entire group. Zhang Jun doesn't dislike Chen Xiaoniang, no matter who loves you with a delicate beauty, it is impossible to be indifferent.

But the real problem is that he knows in his heart that his marriage must be extremely political, and the probability of marriage is very high. In this way, his wife's position must be vacant, otherwise he will not be able to divorce his wife?

Chen Zhen has reached a very high position, even if he takes care of his dignity, Zhang Jun can't take his only daughter into a concubine. The status of the concubine is only a little higher than that of the slave maid, but in essence, she is still in the slave ranks, belonging to the private property of the master, even if she is killed, she does not need to pay for her life, at most she will be fined. Let's ask, even if Zhang Jun accepts Mrs. Chen, will Chen Zhen agree? Rather than embarrassing everyone at that time, it's better to make it clear now.

But when the words came to his mouth, Zhang Jun didn't know how to say it, Chen Niangzi was born with a pitiful temperament, even if it was a simple sentence, he was not willing to let the other party be hurt.

Mrs. Chen took the initiative to speak, and she said embarrassedly: "Thanks to the rescue of the metropolitan governor last time, the slave family was able to get out of the tiger's mouth······"

Zhang Jun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "What is within the division, why worry about it." The lady is the daughter of Chen joining the army, and she can't sit idly by. ”

"Is it just because of the part?" Chen Niangzi's eyes were burning and she stared at Zhang Jundao.

"Uh······" Zhang Jun rubbed his hands and did not speak.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen felt half happy in her heart. She lowered her head and whispered, "I sewed two pairs of handguards, one for my father and one for you." As she spoke, she took out the gauntlet out of nowhere and pushed it in front of Zhang Jun.

On the one hand, it is to prevent the blood from flowing too slippery on the hands and unable to hold the weapon, and on the other hand, the handguards are also embedded with leather or armor, which can play a certain protective role.

Zhang Jun looked at the well-made handguard in front of him, stunned, and felt moved and guilty in his heart. He took the handguard in front of Mrs. Chen, clenched his fist and released it, and moved his fingers, praising it: "The little lady is really good kung fu!" ”

Chen Niangzi said: "If there is a martial artist in the family, that woman will not do this?" “

"It's different." Zhang Jun said: "Mrs. Chen has done better. ”

"If the Governor likes it, wear it. The slave family took the initiative to come to you this time, and this is the only wish. After all, it took a lot of work for these handguards, and as long as the governor didn't dislike it, the slave family would be very happy. ”

"No, no." Zhang Jun hurriedly said: "How can Jun dislike ······"

Zhang Jun felt that it was time to make it clear to her, so he said kindly: "Zhang heard that the lady is a well-known beauty in Xijun, and there are countless admirers. Jun just happened to sing a poem in the house, and by chance you saw it. The relationship between one side is really not enough to worry about. I'm afraid I don't know what kind of person I am, most of it is based on my own imagination. When a person has a good impression, of course he will think of everything as good. Some things are just illusions. ”

"Hallucinations?" Chen Niangzi frowned and thought for a while, "What does the Metropolitan Governor mean by saying these words, is it telling me not to pester you anymore?" ”

Zhang Jun hurriedly said carefully: "That's not the intention, in fact, it's too late for me to be happy······ Which boy is not complacent when he is favored by a beautiful lady? ”

Chen Niangzi looked puzzled and puzzled: "Then why do you ignore others?" ”

Zhang Jun suddenly felt that he had been talking for a long time, and it was all useless, so he had to say: "The Huns have not been destroyed, and there is no home." ”

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she immediately became angry, stood up and said angrily: "Destroy your Huns." With that, he turned to leave.

Zhang Jun didn't expect the woman to start a fire so without warning, and blurted out: "Wait! ”

"What about it?" Mrs. Chen stopped, looked back at him with wide eyes.

Zhang Jun seemed a little embarrassed, and paused before saying: "Jun knows the friendship of the lady, but my marriage can't be decided for the time being. It would be better to refrain from the beginning. Please also forgive me. ”

Chen Niangzi's tears suddenly welled up, she was full of grievances and couldn't speak, so she felt how she was so cheap, and she took the initiative to come to the door and was rejected, so she immediately covered her mouth and ran out.

Zhang Jun was also very helpless, sitting on the seat and sighing, only feeling that talking to a woman was more difficult than fighting.

Mrs. Chen returned to her residence, and after dinner, she couldn't help but ask her father: "Does the governor have a marriage contract?" ”

Chen Zhen pondered for a while and said, "No." What are you still thinking about that? Last time, my father already asked, since the governor has no mind, can we still be strong? After that, he pulled down his face and said, "Don't mention this matter again in the future!" ”

Her father was very fond of her, not to mention that she was also obedient and well-behaved, and when she saw that her father's face was very uncommon at this time, she was startled: "What makes my father want to teach me such a lesson?" ”

Chen Zhen seemed impatient, brushed her sleeves and said: "Don't worry about the elders, children, just listen to your father!" What you think in your heart, I know at a glance that you must not go out to entangle and practice in the future! Suddenly, the little lady's eyes were full of aggrieved tears, and she couldn't help crying.

Chen Zhen was a little upset and said, "Looking for your mother to cry, I still have a lot to consider." ”

·················································

In May of the tenth year of Jianxing, the conquest army led by Zhang Jun and the government army led by Dou Tao, the commander of Jinxing County, went to Jincheng one after another to join the division.

In this expedition, there were 10,000 captive troops, 3,000 troops from Jinxing County, and 2,000 troops from Jincheng County, with a total strength of 15,000 people. In addition, the three counties also levied 30,000 people for logistics scheduling.

On the bright side, Han Pu is still in command, but it can be seen from the strength of the army that Zhang Jun is the real protagonist. Jincheng County and Jinxing County sent so few troops, in order to leave more spare strength to consolidate the Dahe defense line, after all, Zhang Jun has not yet been able to get his hands on the record, although his actions last winter were quite shocking, but in the final analysis, there is no experience in the front of the large group army of hard steel Huns.

Zhang Jun had no objection to this arrangement, with Dou Tao and Han Pu sticking to the two counties of Jinxing and Jincheng, coupled with the newly built Yuzhong defense line, the entire river can be said to be impregnable. With a stable rear, Zhang Jun was naturally full of confidence, and planned to turn the land of Longxi of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom upside down again.

This attack on Han is obviously an undeclared war, although the intelligence that Liangzhou intends to make a move will definitely not be able to hide from the Huns, but there is no need to make a big fanfare, so Daliang did not claim to be 100,200,000 to intimidate others.

The magistrates of the three counties met first in the county guard mansion in Jincheng, and the commander Han Pu, the deputy general Dou Tao, the forward Zhang Jun, and the generals of the following armies, a total of more than a dozen people sat in the festival hall. The relationship between Zhang Jun and Han Pu is very good, and it is with the support and teaching of this old general who spares no effort that Zhang Jun can grow so rapidly. Similarly, Dou Tao and Zhang Jun are no strangers, when Zhang Jun led people to cross the river and return to the west last year, they were in the territory of Jinxing County.

Han Pu is still sitting on the top position, he is an experienced warrior in Da Liang, who has experienced too many winds and waves, obviously this expedition of 15,000 people did not make him have any nervous expression.

He didn't have much to say, and said with a smile: "The Xiongnu and Han Kingdom must have known that I was going to use force in Da Liang, and we can't hide such a big move." Therefore, a surprise attack is not advisable, and this crusade should be carried out step by step. “

Glancing at the generals under the court, he continued: "Longxi belongs to the land of Qinzhou of the Xiongnu Han State, under the jurisdiction of Longxi and Nan'an two counties, with a military strength of between 30,000 or 40,000 people. How to attack? What do you think, let's hear it. ”

said that he was asking everyone's opinions, but in fact, Han Pu had already set the tone at the beginning, and this battle should be fought steadily.

It is understandable that the veteran seeks stability, especially the failure of the surprise attack plan last winter, which also had a certain impact on Han Pu. It's better to be less respectful than to make big mistakes, this is his strategy now.

But it is not in line with Zhang Jun's intentions, his goal is to move eastward along Taoshui, follow the old path he did when he came back last winter, and swallow the entire whale west of Taoshui with a hurricane method. If the Huns can't be hurt this time, then when winter comes, Liu Yao can still retaliate with all his might.

Dou Tao knew that he was here to make up the numbers, so he turned his head to look at Zhang Jun with interest.

Zhang Jun said: "General Dou has been in battle for a long time and must have experience. ”

Dou Tao said: "Zhang Dudu came and went freely in the territory of the Xiongnu and Han last year, and he drew a detailed military map, this time he took the initiative to ask for a preemptive strike, and he must have already made a plan, why don't I listen to Zhang Dudu's high opinion first?" ”

Han Pu also nodded and said, "What the Dou County Guard said is extremely true. ”

The generals present also accounted for the vast majority of the conquest army, and when they heard this, Zhang Jun did not hide it, and got up directly and said: "Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey the order, so I will put forward some ideas for the old general's reference." ”

I saw him wave his hand, and the two soldiers waiting outside carried a huge map one after the other, and spread it in the center of the hall, Zhang Jun walked up, pointed to the ground and said: "Our eastern expedition is facing Qinzhou, but Qinzhou's governance is too far away, and there are still Didao and Longshan in the middle, so I think the army can not be under the danger for a long time, but should rush and fight along the Taoshui eastward. As long as we control the line from Caohan to Lintao, with the barrier of Taoshui, we can take the entire land west of Taoshui as our own. ”

This plan is completely contrary to Han Pu's steady and steady policy, but Zhang Jun has no intention of backing down or making changes, he paused, and seeing that everyone did not object, he continued: "Attacking Longxi, marching along Taoshui is the safest, focusing on a quick battle and a quick victory, all the way east. If it is blocked and delayed, and the road is inconvenient, you can use the water to transport grain downstream. If we are upstream, it will be very advantageous. ”

Han Pu pondered for a long time, although he also thought that Zhang Jun's plan was very feasible, but it was still too risky. However, he couldn't directly oppose and hurt Zhang Jun's face, so he said: "What Zhang Dudu said is quite methodical, but the Huns have strong combat power, and the commander is worried that the attack will be frustrated, resulting in a loss of ground······

Zhang Jun hurriedly said: "The handsome man takes precautions, and the last general is impressed······ The last general still has some considerations, I don't know whether to talk about it or not? ”

Han Pu said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Zhang Jun said: "If you attack along Taoshui, the first thing to hit is Caohan City, which is in a tug of war with me all the year round, and there are not many soldiers and weak protection. And everywhere is my Han people who are strong and strong. The Governor thought that as long as the army of our Eastern Crusade played the banner of recovering China, there would be a wealthy family to follow. The more we wait, the better prepared the Huns will be; Now we don't have a foolproof plan, and the Huns are also in a hurry. It's better to fight quickly, try Caohan City first; If you can defeat Caohan as soon as possible, it is very likely to seize the grain and grass that the enemy has hoarded in the early stage to feed the war, which is more cost-effective than transporting grain from Jinxing County. ”

Han Pu glanced at Dou Tao and said, "Zhang Dudu's method is a bit rushed, and it is very risky. ”

Zhang Jun did not back down, and immediately replied: "The marshal only needs to supply our department with food for fifteen days, plus three days of supplies with the army, I will take Caohan and other places within half a month, and enter Lintao without consuming the rear food." ”

When Han Pu heard this, he also became angry, although you were the main player in this battle, my role is to check for you. Now you are bent on going your own way, once you lose the master, are you still counting it on Lao Tzu's head? He opened his squinting old eyes: "There is no joke in the army!" ”

Zhang Jun straightened his waist and said: "If you can't achieve the goal in half a month, the main force of our department will immediately withdraw and ask the commander for his guilt!" ”

At this moment, Dou Tao on the side hurriedly spoke: "Wait, since Zhang Dudu insists on breaking through, then I will also ask the marshal for his life, and the military headquarters of Jinxing Mansion also forcibly crossed the river and made a feint in the direction of Di Dao to monitor the movement in the north." ”

Zhang Jun was moved when he heard this, this Dou Tao and himself are only one-sided friends, but they are very safe in doing things, with him to contain the main force of Qinzhou, then their resistance will be much smaller, I have to remember that there is a favor!

Seeing that everyone agreed to the breakthrough, Han Pu sighed and said reluctantly: "That's fine, so I will take Zhang Dudu as the forward and attack Caohan first." However, Zhang Dudu had to remember that this battle must be won quickly, and if more than 15,000 people were trapped in the water, the cost would be unimaginable. ”

Zhang Jun got up and clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general has an order!" Our troops rested for two days, moved to Jinxing County first, and after a few days prepared military supplies, that is, crossed the river. ”

Han Pu said: "Very good. The old man will send scouts to pay attention to the movements in Qinzhou and other places, and send people to contact Zhang Dudu at any time. ”

At this time, Zhang Jun was full of confidence, he had already investigated the situation on the territory of the Huns last year, and the Chen Chamber of Commerce also had a lot of in-depth work, and he was not worried about intelligence problems at all. What's more, the conquest army wants to be equipped with a large number of new weapons, and there are almost no elite enemy troops west of Taoshui. As long as he wins a big victory this time, then Da Liang will not have to guard the big river from now on.
