Chapter 171: Preemptive Strike
Seeing that it has entered summer, this is a good time to "cut down the unjust". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
How to say it, except for Liangzhou and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, all the countries in the world began to plunder everywhere when they were in short supply. The banners they raised were basically the same, nothing more than to denounce the unpopular side that was about to be plundered and deserved to be robbed by themselves.
In previous years, when this time came, the border of Liangzhou had to be strictly guarded. Because of the abundant water and soil and the abundant harvest every year, the Liangzhou regime, which occupies the land west of the river, has become fat in the eyes of other countries, and everyone wants to come up and take a bite.
But this year, the atmosphere in Liangzhou is a little different, because the major general in Guangwu County and the military assistants and civilian officials at all levels under his command have publicly written and put forward a preemptive strategy, and the target is, of course, the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms that are close at hand!
The major general made it very clear in the recital that the thieves did not stop because of our forbearance, but intensified their bullying of the people of Liangzhou, treating us as their granary, and once the extortion failed, they would force each other by force. I think that when the first Wu Gong was there, the ballad of "Liangzhou Dama, rampant in the world" would be sung even by children, but now that only one generation has passed, is the blood of the Da Lianger Lang gone?
This performance caused an uproar in Guzang, and the main peace faction led by the Jia clan naturally still strongly opposed it, and even the main battle faction composed of the westward migration clan was not optimistic. After all, the decline in the combat power of the Daliang armies in recent years is a thing that is obvious to all, and it is a bit unreliable to start provocations with just one blood.
What's more, the Xiongnu expedition last winter did not take any advantage, except for the young general who brought back more than 2,000 remnants, the other gains were lackluster.
At this time, Zhang Mao's attitude is particularly important.
Zhang Jun asked his sister Niannu to bring a letter to his uncle after turning to Guzang, in which Zhang Jun analyzed the possibility of the Huns' report this winter, and also revealed the information that Liu Yao was about to be personally recruited. Now all countries think that Liangzhou will still tighten the defensive line, and if we do the opposite, we will take the enemy by surprise and hope for a great victory.
At the same time, in order to create public opinion pressure, Zhang Jun also asked the remnants who had already settled in the fields of Guangwu County to form a petition group to go to Guzang to petition, begging the general to wave his troops to the east to recover China.
"Recovering China" Zhang Mao did not dare to think about it, but the Eastern Expedition to occupy Longxi was one thing on his mind. Last winter's surprise attack plan was in vain, is there really a chance this summer?
Seeing that the time, place, and people were all on his side, Zhang Mao was really moved, so he ignored the opposition of the lord and faction, and took the general of conquest, the Guangwu county guard, the capital governor of the foreign army, and the marquis of Bacheng Zhang Jun as the general of Pingdong, and controlled the two counties of Jinxing and Jincheng. But in terms of specific military affairs, Zhang Mao did not give Zhang Jun full power, but still presided over by the veteran Han Pu.
This point is very interesting, Han Pu is the county guard of Jincheng, but Jincheng is under Zhang Jun's control, but in the military, Zhang Jun has to obey Han Pu's orders, isn't this a contradiction? In fact, it is not, General Pingdong is just a temporary dispatch, and the two counties of Jinxing and Jincheng are only temporary cooperation, and when the war is over, everyone still goes their own way and does not interfere with each other.
In the signing room, the entire Governor's Mansion was already busy, and everyone was running at high speed.
Jiang Wanqing is a secretary, and this period of time has become the busiest time since she took office. There are countless official documents to sort out every day, and even if I only sleep for two or three hours, I feel that there is not enough time.
Zhang Jun had the heart to pity the flowers and cherish the jade, and originally asked Jiang Wanqing to hand over part of the work to Yan Zeng, the experienced chief bookkeeper. But after persuading Jiang Wanqing several times, she found that this stubborn girl was unmoved, so she went with her.
I saw Jiang Wanqing standing aside, holding the document in her hand, and read: "Fuguo Temple has been demolished, and all the captured Heavenly Master and Taoist disciples have been sent to the lime factory to work as coolies. ”
"Yes!" Zhang Jun is still reviewing another document on the nature of spring ploughing, which is the benefits of new farm tools and overturned vehicles to irrigation and reclamation, as well as the new area of wasteland, which will be jointly counted by the supervisor and the three counties.
At present, the whole Guangwu County can be said to be in a good situation, and under the premise of having sufficient money and food to squander, various projects are being carried out rapidly. After refining the water and fertilizer, the essence became a military item, and the residue was mixed with the waste stone of the lime mine and paved on the loess road, becoming a primitive asphalt road.
Lime was also produced in large quantities, and the entire Gwangmu County criminals were punished by forced labor and sent to various lime mines and lime kilns to work, so the production of cement also increased steadily.
Most of the planned Governor's Mansion has been completed, and in addition to the military manufacturing, the biggest project now is to start building a new city according to the plan proposed by Zhang Jun.
In short, there are a lot of things, all waiting for Zhang Jun to decide. But manpower is limited after all, so he has to dual-purpose, everything that is not so important is dictated by Jiang Wanqing, if he thinks it is okay, just say the word "can" to pass, otherwise say "can't".
However, at this time, Zhang Jun hesitated again and asked, "Will it spread too widely?" These words seemed to be asking Jiang Wanqing, and seemed to be talking to herself, but Jiang Wanqing still replied: "Temples and Taoist temples have been unsupervised for a long time, and all flies and mosquitoes have been hiding in them, and they have become a place to hide dirt and dirt, and they should have been investigated so thoroughly." ”
Zhang Jun glanced at her in surprise, thinking that this young lady who had been a monk would sympathize with religious places, but now it seems that it doesn't matter.
"Okay, then do what Song Beijia wants." He nodded.
After Jiang Wanqing wrote the word "can" on this document with a red pen, she picked up another one and read: "Zhou Tongbao, the commander of the right battalion of the Longxiang Army, the thief is angry, and Monk Li is dead, but Daoist Zhang is nowhere to be seen, and the Qingnu has seen the Daoist Zhang, and he asked to send a painter to Guzang to make a picture according to the Qingnu's dictation, and issue a sea fishing document to arrest him." ”
Zhang Jun said: "Sister is frightened, don't bother her." That Taoist priest has ten ······ VIII. ······ Nine ······ Still among the captives, let Zhou Tong send a few reconnaissance masters, together with the officials of the three counties, to the lime mine to investigate. ”
Jiang Wanqing nodded, and Zhu Pen wrote Zhang Jun's instructions on this document.
At this time, the chief bookkeeper Yan Zeng walked in, saw that Jiang Wanqing was also there, sighed slightly, and reported: "Governor Dadu, Guzang has come to herald the order, and ordered you to go on the expedition in three days." ”
"Got it!" Zhang Jun didn't raise his head and asked, "Who is the one who came to give the order?" ”
Yan Zeng said: "It's a eunuch." ”
"Oh? Zhang Jun raised his head and said with a tired face: "Mr. Annoyance Lao asked the envoy to come in, and the governor of Pontus will personally receive him." ”
"No!" Yan Zeng stepped back.
"Humph!"
When Yan Zeng left, Jiang Wanqing spoke out unhappily.
Zhang Jun smiled bitterly and said, "Master Yan doesn't agree with you to participate too much in political affairs, it's also for your own good, how can you still hold a grudge?" ”
Two days ago, after Yan Zeng saw Jiang Wanqing use a zhu pen to review the documents on behalf of Zhang Jun, he gave a great admonition, so that Zhang Jun had no choice, only saying that he was too busy with official business these days, and it was also a temporary move of last resort, and when the matter came to an end, he would naturally not let Secretary Jiang write it again.
"Mr. Yan just looks down on us women, and he doesn't want to think about which man was not born to our woman!" Jiang Wanqing was unconvinced.
Zhang Jun could only smile bitterly, in fact, Yan Zeng's words were not wrong, most of the women in politics in history had no good results, and he couldn't indulge this little lady too much, lest she do anything in the future.
Thinking of this, he reprimanded: "Don't be presumptuous, what Mr. Yan said is reasonable, you can't mess around!" ”
Jiang Wanqing pursed her mouth and never spoke again.
Waiting for the eunuch to come in, he knelt on the ground and gave Zhang Jun a big salute. They are the slaves of the Zhang family, completely dependent on their masters for survival, and are the most loyal group. But because the lessons of history since the end of the Han Dynasty have been too painful, the rulers of any country are very wary of them and do not let them participate in power.
It was a young eunuch who came, Zhang Jun knew him, and remembered that his name was "Xi'er", and he served by his uncle's side, but he never saw him later, and he thought he was transferred to other places.
Zhang Jun asked, "How is my father's health?" ”
Xi'er replied: "The state pastor is in its prime, and it is very ······good."
"Hahahaha!" Such an official standard answer made Zhang Jun laugh, and he instructed: "My father has been in poor health recently, you slaves should be careful, if there is a little slack, I will not spare you." ”
"Yes······ It's ······" Xi'er knelt more and more regularly, and didn't dare to move, and said: "The state pastor has indeed not been in good health recently, and the medical officer said that it is good to be good at life." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Jun nodded and said, "I remember that you served by my father's side before, why did you transfer to another place?" ”
Xi'er replied carefully: "The slave maid accidentally broke a porcelain vase, and went to the prison where the order was passed on······"
"I see." Zhang Jun knew in his heart how serious the struggle between these eunuchs was, and they were generally fat and poor when they could follow their masters, and Xi'er was transferred, and it seemed that they couldn't fight but others lost. He didn't break it, but said casually: "I think you're good, go back to Guzang, and go to my father's side." If anyone refuses to allow it, you will say that I said it. ”
"Ahh When Xi'er heard this, she was overjoyed, and kowtowed to the ground: "Slave and maid thank the Governor, slave and maid thank the Governor!" ”
"Don't thank me." Zhang Jun waved his hand and said, "As long as you serve your father wholeheartedly, you will repay the governor of Pontus." ”
"No!" Xi'er said goodbye and said excitedly: "The slave and maid have taken care of the master of the house, let Lang Jun rest assured." ”
Hearing him say this, Zhang Jun smiled and said, "Okay, you go down······"
Waiting for Xi'er to kowtow and retreat, Jiang Wanqing said: "Is the governor worried about the safety of the general?" ”
In fact, this is what a secretary should ask, Zhang Jun was immediately displeased, but he didn't want to be angry with a girl, so he didn't hear it, and continued to review the documents in his hand. Seeing this, Jiang Wanqing also knew that she was speechless, so she didn't dare to say more, if she continued to read the text in her hand carefully.
······························································
Two days later, Wang Meng and Zhou Tong of the left and right battalions of the Longxiang Army, Han Hu and Hu Shuo of the left and right battalions of the Hujie Army, Li Yi of the Crane Control Army, and Cheng Dahu of the Fu Army verified on the spot in the Governor's Mansion that the transfer order issued by the Metropolitan Governor Zhang Jun personally stamped the Great Seal and joined the army planning and guarding department, and then returned to the barracks to know the whole army······
This decision to strike first was made by Zhang Jun after seeing the performance of the conquest army against the Heavenly Master Dao disciples. A new army, no matter how well equipped, will always be a rookie if it has not been tested on the battlefield.
According to the trend of history, in another half a year, Liu Yao will personally lead an army of 200,000 horses to attack Liang, and the conquest army is just on the front line. If he can't build the conquest army into a real iron-blooded army before then, then he can really only call the ministers and pay tribute to sue for peace.
According to the plan, almost all of the three armies of Longxiang, Hujie, and Konghe had to accompany Zhang Jun on the expedition, and Cheng Dahu led the government army to enter Yuzhong, echoing Jincheng County from afar, and beware of the invasion of the Huns.
However, once the conquest army crosses the river, the Huns may not have the heart to cross the river and plunder again, and if they don't clean up Zhang Jun, won't last year's incident be repeated?
In the Governor's Mansion, Zhang Jun was finally busy with today's work and was about to take a rest, but a guard came to report that the little lady in Chen's military mansion had come to find the Governor.
Zhang Jun paced two steps in place, remembering the pitiful appearance of Little Lady Chen after being rescued, but he hadn't expressed his condolences yet, so he felt that he should meet him, so he could say something to make her feel relieved.
He was about to ask the guards to invite Mrs. Chen in, and thought that it would not be good to let an unmarried woman enter the door alone, so he changed into civilian clothes and greeted him in person
Zhang Jun walked out of the gate of the Governor's Mansion and saw a carriage leaning outside, a groom sitting in front of him, and a maid standing outside. Zhang Jun recognized the maid and was sure that the person who came was Chen Zhen's daughter, so he stepped forward alone and said, "But Mrs. Chen is visiting?" ”
The curtain of the car was opened, and sure enough, the delicate face of Little Lady Chen was revealed, and she said, "Let's talk in a different place." ”
Zhang Jun also felt that it was very inappropriate to stand here and talk like this, so he said: "There is a green building not far away, I let people clear it." ”
Mrs. Chen said: "Listen to the arrangement of the metropolitan governor." ”
So Zhang Jun took the guards and walked to the Qinglou not far away with the carriage, which was not far anyway. When they walked to the door of the Qinglou, Zhang Jun touched the purse around his waist, took out a whole string of money and handed it to the maid, and said to his guard: "You can buy what you want to eat." ”
After sending away the superfluous people, the Qinglou was also emptied, Zhang Jun and Chen Niangzi found a seat by the window along the street and sat down, and asked for two flower teas and some exquisite snacks.
Mrs. Chen lowered her head and didn't speak, pinching the corners of her clothes with her hands. Zhang Jun also didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was suddenly slightly awkward. The affairs of men and women are simple and complex, and they are not easily determined by any identity or status.
If Mrs. Chen was not the daughter of his subordinates, it would be okay for Zhang Jun to ask for her, but it was really because the two of them only saw a Chen Zhen separated by him, so he couldn't let go.
