Chapter 55: Zhao Gou (2)

If you want to pacify Jianghuai, you can only rely on Liu Guangshi's Huaixi Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Liu Guangshi has the most soldiers and horses, and the largest territory, especially after the soldiers and horses left behind in Tokyo withdrew to Jiankang Mansion, he Uncle Liu Ping really has a bit of a pillar of optimism.

But this Taiwei Liu was really disappointing, and he fought with the Jurchens in Chuzhou and was defeated; Fighting with the rogue, a rout. The order of the Privy Council was also disobeyed, and he hid in the city of Chuzhou all day long, and only ordered a small group of troops to go out to respond to the scene.

This kind of commander who spends his days in chaos should have been withdrawn a long time ago and replaced by a man who dares to fight.

The partial-life official family has a lot of trust in this Uncle Liu Ping, and it seems that they have no idea of changing the commander at all. Thinking about it, one is thinking about his love for saving the driver, and the other is that Liu Guangshi is also from a general. Without him, it would be impossible to convince the people if someone else went

Liu Guangshi was unreliable, seeing that the rogues were rising, Jianghuai was rotten, and this year's autumn harvest could not be counted on, Zhang Jun had a feeling of despair.

That's when a miracle happened.

First, Li Cheng sent an envoy to Beijing to ask for Zhao'an, and then Wang Shen and Wang Daosi were born.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiangben didn't pay much attention to Li Cheng's request for Zhao'an, and he didn't expect this big guy to come in handy. Li Boyou was born in Liaodi, and he was not a child of the Great Song Dynasty before, and he did not have the slightest loyalty to the Song Dynasty. The reason why he asked for Zhao'an was probably because his power was extremely damaged, and he wanted to take advantage of the name of the imperial court to get a moment of respite, and you don't expect him to contribute to the country at all, it's good if he doesn't make trouble.

Therefore, in accordance with the previous practice, Zhang Jun asked for the holy decree and sent an envoy to announce the decree, and the procedure was completed.

Until now, the messenger has not returned, and good news has been reported over there.

Li Yu was easily pacified by Wang Shenti's three hundred light horsemen.

When the news came, the entire Privy Council boiled. This was the only military victory won by the imperial court since Zong Zezong Rulin recovered Tokyo, and the results were still so great. This makes the soldiers and civilians who have gone from failure to think about the next failure, and the whole person has become numb, has a feeling of raising their eyebrows.

The officials in the ministry were dancing, and some people even found Zhang Jun to advance this month's salary. Everyone hasn't been paid for half a year, and they are really poor. Now that Li Thief has given the head, the entire Huaixi and Huaibei have been included in the imperial court's territory, and the grain and rice for the coming year have finally been settled.

On this day, the ministers of the court asked Zhang Jun one after another when the Huai grain would be able to be sent back to the emperor.

Hearing the name Wang Shen, Zhang Jun was also inexplicable.

That's right, the ambassador sent by the imperial court to announce his will was his protégé, but he was not surnamed Wang. Moreover, up to now, including Li Cheng's envoy Zhang Congzainei, there has been no news from the group. That's right, in these chaotic years, they may have died and run away.

"Could it be that this Wang Shen is my follower?" Although Zhang Jun was puzzled in his heart, it was an exciting thing for this person to make such a great contribution, so why bother to dwell on these details and hurt the morale of the people.

Finally, a great victory was fought, which was just the right time to cheer up the sergeants. Moreover, Wang Shen relieved the urgent need for the imperial court.

After taking Jianghuai, the country's finances were finally stabilized.

Therefore, when others asked Zhang Xiang about Wang Shen's origins, he just smiled and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescing to this protégé. When Liu Guangshi reported that Wang Shen was the commander of the heavy battalion of the Huaixi Army, Zhang Jun signed it casually and asked someone to send it to the military headquarters to record his name.

Wang Shen, who was far away in Huaixi, didn't know that the identity problem that plagued him was solved so easily.

……

Seeing that Zhang Jun was unhappy, Zhao Gou suddenly laughed: "Zhang Qing rest assured, Jiangbei is the time to employ people, and I will not rob you of people." You just congratulated me, but I want to congratulate Zhang Qing. ”

Zhang Jun wondered in his heart: "What does the official family want to congratulate the minister?" ”

Zhao Gou was still laughing: "Zhang Qing's family wrote a letter to impeach Du Chong for cruelty and killing, the general lost harmony, and the upper and lower detachments from morality, so that the Tokyo Left-behind Division, and even the internal strife of the three armies. Nadu Chong even lost Kaifeng and collapsed all the way south, causing Tokyo to fall again. ”

Zhang Jun nodded: "Exactly, this person is ambitious and talented, and he can't be handsome." It was very inappropriate for the official family to let him control the Jiangbei army. Such a mediocre talent, if he is entrusted with a heavy task, I am afraid that the Jianghuai war will be out of control. ”

"Oh, Du Chong can't be reused, does Zhang Qing also have to follow Liu Guangshi's excerpt of "Six Uncontrollable"? He is unusable, should I send Zhang Qing across the river? Zhao Gou's eyes were full of vigilance and sarcasm: "Your protégé Wang Shen has opened up the situation in Huaixi, and now Zhang Qing's prestige has been established, and now it is the right time to cross the river, and he can easily collect the hearts of the soldiers and horses of the Jianghuai Roads, and I am here to congratulate the Qing family." ”

The sharp edge in these words was very sharp, Zhang Jun was angry and sad, and said in his heart: The official family is suspicious of me, how can he be like this, how did he become like this? Indeed, I have the intention to cross the river and lead the troops. Du Chong, a traitor, Liu Guangshi is a mediocre person. If the people of gold come, depending on how they resist. If Huaixi and Huaibei are lost, how can Jiankang Mansion survive alone?

When the time comes, where will I, the Great Song Dynasty, the official family and the Manchu Dynasty ministers and doctors go, will they flee to Hangzhou again?

When you get to Hangzhou, are the Jurchens chasing after you?

Suddenly, I was suddenly a little discouraged and couldn't speak.

He had to lie deep on the ground and grit his teeth.

By the way, he knocked Zhang Jun, and seeing that the fire had arrived, Zhao Gou stretched out his hand to help him up, his expression turned gentle, and he smiled: "I am just joking with the Qing family, you are my shareholder, the pillar of the country, I can't leave Qing here for a while, how can I be willing to send him to cross the river." JAC Defense, let Du Chong preside over it! Although he suffered defeat, he was not without merit in his body, and he could not beat people to death with a stick. ”

Yes, it is better to do it than to do it. Du Chong set up such a big mess, lost Kaifeng, and the troops started infighting, completely messing up the good situation that Zong Ze had created with great difficulty since the Jingkang Revolution, which can be described as a great crime, and everyone in the world said that it could be killed. But I just use him greatly, the dignity of the Ninety-Five, and his own holy judgment, how can he be at the mercy of others and public opinion?

Du Chong pinched such a big handle in my hand, and he definitely wouldn't have two hearts. Otherwise, you can kill at any time.

For his royal methods, and this sudden inspiration, Zhao Jiu was extremely proud: This is the way of the king!

"The officials are right." Zhang Jun still looked angry.

Zhao Gou: "Okay, okay, this battle is fortunate to rely on the soldiers from all walks of life to immediately use their lives, this matter of sending people to the Huaixi Army to issue an order, do you have an idea?" Zhang Jun, let's make a purpose! ”

Zhang Jun nodded, walked to the imperial case, picked up the pen and began to write. Although this battle was done by Wang Shen alone, the generals of the Huaixi Army and Li Cheng had to be rewarded.

Soon, he wrote the names of Liu Guangshi, Li Cheng, Li Qiong, Wang De and others on it, and he was a first-level meritorious worker. Just as Wang Shen's name was about to fall, Zhang Jun's heart was tight.

Nominally, Wang Shenke is his protégé. With his current merits, he has to give a Chengshilang or Bao Yilang, and he also has to give a real job. It is a pity that such talents are not used to lead troops to contribute to the country. The Jilu officer who can train the envoy to a state regiment can lead an army alone. But......

However, the official family has just said it bluntly, and it is clear that they are jealous of me coveting Jianghuai's military power and want to install their own people in the army.

I, Zhang Jun, have a bad heart and are not afraid of people's words. But state affairs are already like this, and if the officials lose their trust in me, what will happen to the country?

Thinking of this, Zhang Jun gritted his teeth, quickly finished drafting the holy decree, and handed it to Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou saw that there was no Wang Shen's name on it, an unknown smile flashed in his eyes, nodded, painted a monogram, and ordered the servant to use the seal.

……

Zhang Jun came out of Zhao Gou and was sent out of the city by Yang Yizhong.

The rain was still falling, and he couldn't help but caress the willow tree on the side of the road and let out a long sigh.

Yang Yizhong didn't know about this, and said: "When will Zhang Xiang cross the river?" ”

Zhang Jun smiled faintly and muttered: "Cross the river, cross the river, hehe." ”

Yang Yizhong became excited, and said in a low voice: "If Zhang Xiangru goes to Yangzhou or Jiangdu to preside over the defense of Jianghuai, please bring the last general." The man returned from the battle on the battlefield and stayed in this Jinling City all day, and my body was about to become moldy. The last general still remembers the scene when he served under the command of Xiang Gong during the Jingkang State Change, and that is enough to taste! ”

"If you go to Yangzhou or Jiangdu, who said that you have to cross the river to be responsible for the defense of Jianghuai?" Zhang Jun suddenly had a thought in his heart.

Yang Yizhong had a disdain on his face: "Xianggong said that Du Chong's house, this traitorous villain has been hiding in this Jinling City since Kaifeng went south, but the official family was deceived by him, and he is very trustworthy." Seeing that birdman walking in and out every day really dirty my eyes. Yes, now that Jiangbei is surrounded by beacon fires, Jinling City is also quiet, why don't you go to Hangzhou surnamed Du, it's safer over there. ”

He kept complaining, but Zhang Jun refused to talk to him again, only said: "Do things well." ”

Crossing the river, crossing the river, it is not necessary to cross the river in order to contribute to the country. Perhaps, the old man should change places. Sticking to the south of the Yangtze River will not be able to turn the tide of the battle after all.

Go to Guanzhong, yes, yes, the old man should go there, isn't there still the remnants of the Six-Route Western Army over there? With the grain endowment and manpower of Shudi, and the brave and warlike soldiers of the Western Army, why can't you recover Yanyun?

The old man used to only think about trapping Jiang Dong, but he was short-sighted after all.

"Wang Daosi, this is the old man who is sorry for you. When you return to Jiankang, you will have to meet the old man's subordinates when such an amazing and brilliant Ban Dingyuan and Chen Qingzhi appeared. When the time comes, come with me to Guanzhong, there is a world where you can display your ambitions. ”

Thinking of the fierce place, Zhang Jun's chest was full of depression. He laughed, threw his entourage behind him, and strode down the street with only an umbrella.

"The wine is still open, and the temples are slightly frosty, so what's the matter? In the clouds, when will Feng Tang be sent? ”

"Will hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot the wolf."

Thoughts have flown to the land of Sanqin, and to the vast land of Yansui with thousands of ravines.
