Chapter 430: Zhang Jun's Heart
Yue Yun led a thousand soldiers and horses towards the front, he left Linzhou City on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and did not dare to stop along the way.
It wasn't until the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month that Yue Yun and the others finally came to the city of Xiazhou.
A thousand soldiers and horses came here, and there was no warning signal from Xiazhou City.
When Yue Yun came to the city gate, the city gate opened, and several soldiers appeared lazily in front of Yue Yun.
"I wonder who the general is?" When several soldiers saw Yue Yun's dress, they knew that he was a general in the army, so they put away their lazy expressions and hurriedly asked.
"I am here on the order of General Yue Feiyue, the commander of the forbidden army, to meet General Zhang Jun Zhang!" Yue Yun said.
"It turned out to be a general of the forbidden army, please come in quickly!" Those soldiers didn't carefully check Yue Yun's identity, and let Yue Yun in immediately.
These soldiers defending the city were so careless, and they were not afraid that Yue Yun and the others were pretending to be enemy soldiers, Yue Yun couldn't help frowning.
Yue Yun's 1,000 soldiers and horses entered the city, the snow fell heavily, the city was also full of snow, and the roads were all white, seeing such a scene, Yue Yun felt a little unhappy in his heart.
In Yue Fei's army, generally in such weather, the soldiers have to go out to clear the snow, at least to ensure that the roads in the city are smooth, and in addition, even in such weather, the forbidden army has to go out for training! In fact, it is not only the forbidden army, but also the Jingyuan army, the celebration army, and so on! Snow is not a reason to stop training! But since they came to Xiazhou, they didn't see the soldiers and horses here training outside at all, and there were no soldiers and horses to clear the snow on the roads.
"What are the soldiers of your army doing now?" Looking at the leading soldiers, Yue Yundao.
"In such weather, it is natural to hide in the barracks! To be honest, since following His Majesty Xuanwu, those of us who are soldiers have enjoyed a lot! We were able to burn a stove in our barracks, and the soldiers were rarely hungry! Thank you so much, Your Majesty! The soldier in front laughed.
Yue Yun frowned, this year's food shortage is huge, the forbidden army, the Jingyuan army, the Huanqing army, etc. have begun to limit food, and it is difficult for the soldiers to eat enough every day, but for Han Shizhong, Wang Yan, Zhang Jun and other surrendered generals, the imperial court has special preferential treatment, and the food is sufficient, but under such conditions, Zhang Jun's soldiers and horses did not come out for training! On the fifth day of the first lunar month, they hid in the barracks to rest! Yue Yun felt very dissatisfied in his heart!
After walking for a while, they came to an empty military camp in the city, where Yue Yun and the others were placed.
"I'm going to see General Zhang Jun!" Yue Yun said.
"Wait a minute, general, we have to report first!" The soldier said.
Yue Yun nodded.
However, after waiting for two hours, Yue Yun didn't wait for the soldier's figure, and no one came here again.
"What's going on? Did the soldier forget to report it? That's it! I personally went to Xiazhou Yamen to meet General Zhang Jun! Yue Yun said secretly.
At that moment, Yue Yun ordered the soldiers to rest here, and he only took four or five of his own soldiers and headed towards the Xiazhou Yamen.
After coming here, Yue Yun expressed his intentions, but one of the deputy generals of the state government came out and said that Zhang Jun was not in Xiazhou City now, but was inspecting the military camp in a military camp south of Xiazhou! The deputy general asked Yue Yun to wait in Xiazhou City for two days temporarily, but Yue Yun had no choice but to wait here.
However, until the seventh day of the first lunar month, Yue Yun still didn't see Zhang Jun!
From the fifth day of the first month to the seventh day of the first month, in three days, because of the snow, none of Zhang Jun's soldiers and horses came out for training! For Zhang Jun's soldiers and horses, Yue Yun became more and more dissatisfied.

In the Xiazhou Prefecture, even at night, candles were still lit in the innermost room, and the lights were bright.
Zhang Jun is sitting in the room at the moment, the cold wind is howling outside, and it is warm here.
In his arms sat a woman, his concubine Liu!
Women are not allowed in the army, but Zhang Jun doesn't care about that at all, he still brings the concubine to the army!
The wind outside was getting louder and louder, like a ghost crying, and the little concubine Liu couldn't help but shrink her body.
"General, this Xiazhou is really a bitter cold place!" Liu said.
"Yes, this is the northwest frontier, and it used to be the place of the Tangut people! There is not much population here, only sergeants, and it is unusually desolate, and of course it is a bitter cold place. Zhang Jun said.
"General, I don't want to stay here any longer." Liu said.
"General Ben doesn't want to stay here either!" Zhang Jundao.
"Ahh A surprised expression appeared on Liu's face.
"When I returned to Emperor Xuanwu, I thought that I could become a general, command hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and conquer the Jurchens! Who knows that he is still the commander of the troops and horses, stationed in this bitter cold place! Moreover, the so-called staff headquarters actually asked me to obey Yue Fei's orders! Yue Fei is just a farmer, but he won a few battles by luck, and now he is sitting on Lao Tzu's head, and Lao Tzu is not convinced! Zhang Jun gritted his teeth and said.
"Yes, I heard that Yue Fei is extremely mediocre and doesn't have much talent, but he is a descendant of Emperor Xuanwu, and he once saved Emperor Xuanwu's life, so Yue Fei got a heavy responsibility!" Liu said.
That's exactly what happened! Hmph, when I was in Xiangzhou, I had already captured Emperor Xuanwu alive, but Yue Fei, a farmer, appeared, although he didn't have much talent, but his martial arts were good, and he saved Emperor Xuanwu's life! If there was no Xiangzhou matter, the situation in the world would not have become what it is now, and I don't have to grieve myself to Emperor Xuanwu! Moreover, other things in the army also disagree with me! Zhang Jun said.
"Oh? I don't know what it is? Liu said curiously.
"I originally had an army of 100,000 under my command, but after I defected to Emperor Xuanwu, Emperor Xuanwu streamlined his army, and I only had 50,000 troops under my command! However, Emperor Xuanwu also installed some generals in my army, those generals were not nominally in military power, but they 'educated' the soldiers, telling those soldiers every day to be loyal to the country, loyal to the monarch and patriotism, etc., originally this army was my Zhang Jun's army, I completely controlled it, but now it has become the army of the imperial court! Damn it! Zhang Jun said hatefully.
"This is also something that cannot be helped, I heard that when he was in Guanshan, Emperor Xuanwu controlled the army in this way." Liu said.
"It's getting boring to stay in this army! Yue Fei also asked me to meet him, hmph, how could Lao Tzu meet this farmer? I don't think it's better to leave Xiazhou, this general is not appropriate! Over the years, I have also accumulated countless wealth, the world is looking at peace, let's go to Jiangnan to enjoy happiness! Zhang Jun said.
Zhang Junnai is one of the four generals of Zhongxing in history, but this person is also one of the most greedy generals in history! He ruled his army brutally, but every time he fought, he allowed his soldiers to plunder on a large scale, and of course he himself had to plunder his property! In addition, he used his power to oppress the local gentry and rob the gentry of their property! According to historical records, Zhang Jun occupied an area of more than one million mu of land, and was the largest landlord in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty! In order to prevent the gold and silver at home from being stolen, Zhang Jun cast the silver into a large silver ball of one thousand taels, named it "helpless", which means that even if the thief sees such a silver coin, he is helpless and cannot steal it! Zhao Gou came to Zhang Jun's house for dinner, and Zhang Jun took the opportunity to offer 3,000 taels of gold, 69,000 pearls, 30 agate bowls, more than 40 pieces of fine jade, 1,000 pieces of silk satin and countless precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings! Zhang Jun was born poor, but since he became a general, his family's property has become the first in the Southern Song Dynasty!
Now although Zhang Jun has defected to Zhao Chen, he has accumulated a lot of wealth when he was under Zhao Gou, and now these fortunes are still in Jiangnan, which is regarded as his family property!
"That's great! General, now that you've made up your mind, let's get out of this bitter cold place as soon as possible! Liu said.
"No hurry! I am very dissatisfied with Yue Fei, a farmer, even if I want to leave, I will embarrass him! Zhang Jun sneered.
When he was outside Xiangzhou City that day, Yue Fei trampled him under his feet, which was a great shame for Zhang Jun! Now that Yue Fei has become his boss, he feels even more ashamed in his heart! So he wants to find a chance to get revenge!
"Yue Fei also sent someone to see the general, do you want to meet the general?" Liu said.
"No, just let his people wait in Xiazhou City!" Zhang Jun said disdainfully.
The night was already dark, and Zhang Jun hugged Liu to the bed for lewd pleasure, not to mention it.
******
Yue Yun stayed in Xiazhou City for a few more days, and until the tenth day of the first lunar month, he had not seen Zhang Jun.
In the past two days, Zhang Jun's soldiers and horses finally came out to train, but their training was also loose, and they only trained for an hour in the morning and then returned to the city to rest, Yue Yun frowned.
"General, this Zhang Jun's soldiers and horses are so lax, this is simply not an army." Yue Yun's subordinates said pro-soldiers.
"In the past, the soldiers and horses in Jiangnan were like this! After this Zhang Jun surrendered to His Majesty, he thought that his army had changed, but who knew that it was still like this! Damn it, if I see Zhang Jun, I will definitely question him! Yue Yun said coldly.
"General, I heard from those soldiers this morning that Zhang Jun is in the yamen, and he just doesn't see us!" Pro-soldier road.
"Really?" Yue Yun was stunned for a moment and said.
"Of course it's true! Some of those soldiers under Zhang Jun have seen Zhang Jun, and in the past few days, Zhang Jun has been in the yamen and has never left! "The pro-soldier said.
"Damn! I came here on my father's military order to carry out military affairs, Zhang Jun is obviously here, but he doesn't see me under the pretext, this is a violation of military orders! The military order is like a mountain, even if he is the general of Xiazhou, he must not be violated! Come on, bring a few more people, let's go to the yamen, I must see Zhang Jun today! Yue Yun said angrily.
After a quarter of an hour, Yue Yun led hundreds of soldiers towards the Xiazhou Yamen.
When he came to the yamen, Yue Yun took a deep breath, he clenched the sword in his hand, and prepared to break into the Xiazhou yamen, but at this time, four or five cavalry in the distance rushed towards here.
Say:
There are many things to do during the holidays. Tomorrow the third watch will be resumed.
