Chapter 584: War of Words
Zhang Jun successively sent several letters to Zhao Gou, to the effect that Qin Hui had taken refuge in Zhao Shuo and wanted to establish a big city-state in the subcontinent and be the lord of the big city-state. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
These are what Zhao Ziyan told him, as for the truth or falsehood, Zhang Jun has never sent someone to investigate. For him, it would be enough to have a reason, and as for truth or falsehood, it didn't matter at all.
If a big city-state was really established in the subcontinent, then why should it be ceded to Qin Hui? He now has an army of millions, even Zhao Shuo doesn't care about him. After all, Zhao Shuo only has 400,000 horses!
Zhao Shuo's soldiers and horses may be stronger than those of the Great Song Dynasty, but two against one, Zhang Jun still has a chance to win.
With a great dream, Zhang Jun chased and beat Angkor, and the beaten Angkor continued to retreat, and finally had no choice but to surrender.
After Angkor's surrender, Zhang Jun left Zhao Ziwei to manage Angkor, and his own army left Angkor and ran to the subcontinent.
For such an arrangement, Zhao Ziyan is quite unhappy, however, he has no one in his hands, he is clearly against Zhang Jun, there is only a dead end, besides, Zhang Jun has already taken the bait, and there is no need for him to stimulate Zhang Jun now.
Zhao Ziyan chose to agree, but after Zhang Jun left, he secretly sent news to Li Chao and Siam. said that Zhang Jun had already taken people away, and now Siam was in his hands, and he wanted to unite Li Chao and Siam, take Angkor together, and dedicate Angkor to Zhao Shuo.
Zhao Ziyan did this, both selfishly and helpless. Now he doesn't have a single soldier, and taking Angkor on his own is simply a fool's dream.
All he can rely on now is Zhao Shuo's strength. In this big war on the subcontinent, he can already guess the ending.
This may be the opportunity for Zhao Shuo to tell him. Once Zhang Jun is defeated here, the crazy Zhao Gou is likely to plan to send an army to fight again, but the casualties of the million-strong army must be a big blow to the Great Song Dynasty, and someone will inevitably come forward to refute it in another battle.
There are contradictions in the court, and there will inevitably be contradictions among the people, that is an army of millions, the sons and daughters of more than one million people, their parents, wives and children will inevitably have complaints, and in addition, Zhao Gou is still sending troops, everyone knows that going out is to send them to death, so the anti-war sentiment is bound to rise.
In this case, Zhao Ziyan added fuel to the fire, and his son Zhao Yan was very likely to ascend to the throne.
Even if it is a little closer, but he has Zhao Shuo behind him, Zhao Ziyan does not believe that Zhao Shuo will support a disobedient person to climb the throne of the Great Song Dynasty.
Based on these thoughts, Zhao Ziyan contacted Siam and Li Chao.
Siam and Li Chao have long been Zhao Shuo's territory, and when he heard that he was going to join forces to take Angkor, he wrote a recital for Zhao Shuo overnight. It's a big deal, and they don't dare to make decisions.
For such a script, Zhao Shuo will naturally agree, if he takes Angkor, then Zhang Jun's million-strong army will have no way to retreat, and Zhao Gou will send troops again, don't think about reaching this subcontinent, because all the way, it is Zhao Shuo's territory. The garrisons of these territories are Zhao Shuo's eyeliner.
If Zhao Gou dares to move a place, it is to start a war with Zhao Shuo. For this ending, Zhao Shuo is confident that it can be avoided, and he believes that Zhao Shuo does not have the guts, especially at the current stage when Zhao Shuo is stronger than Zhao Gou.
Zhao Shuo agreed to the recital of Siam and Li Chao, and Li Chao and Siam immediately mobilized troops and horses to fight in Angkor. The local people in Angkor were already dissatisfied with the Great Song Dynasty, and the three sides attacked together, and Zhang Jun did not have many soldiers and horses left in Angkor, so he retreated all of a sudden.
After the recovery of Angkor, the king of Angkor is not stupid, and now Angkor's combat strength, let alone dealing with the next Great Song army that may retaliate, is the combined army of the Li Dynasty and Siam, and Angkor can't bear it. ,
In order to express his gratitude, the king of Angkor happily decided to surrender to Zhao Shuo. He wrote the table of surrender and handed over military and diplomatic powers. And brought Li Chao and Siam in to vouch for him.
When King Angkor's surrender reached Padbara, Zhang Jun's army happened to arrive at the port of Bana.
Zhang Junyao was martial and powerful, and he didn't know at all that his back road, Angkor Kingdom, was already Zhao Shuo's territory at the moment.
Qin Hui's army had already assembled in the port of Bana. He knew very well that once Zhang Jun's men were allowed to go ashore immediately, with the soldiers of these city-states, it would be impossible to stop the elite Song army.
His only recourse was to gather forces and weaken Zhang Jun's strength as much as possible before he stepped ashore. In this way, after the Song army stepped on the shore, the soldiers in Qin Hui's hands would have a slight advantage, and it was only an advantage in numbers. But with this advantage, it is possible for him to defeat Zhang Jun.
This is the only way, so the battle to defend the port must make Zhang Jun pay a heavy price.
The flag fluttered above the port, and a big 'Song' character was waving in the wind, which made Zhang Jun hesitate a little, because he didn't know who this Song was, whether it was Zhao Shuo or Zhao Gou.
"Whoever is on the shore, come out to answer." Zhang Jun shouted loudly.
Seeing that Zhang Jun was about to find someone to answer, Qin Hui showed a sly smile and asked his subordinates to continue the arrangement, but he stood up.
"I am Qin Hui, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, who are you?" Qin Hui came and pretended to be confused.
"Lord Qin, I'm Zhang Jun." Zhang Jun replied with some unhappiness.
"Lord Zhang! Hahaha......" Qin Hui pretended to be polite. "Aren't you attacking Angkor? How did you get here? ”
Qin Hui asked this, so that Zhang Jun really didn't know how to answer, and directly said that Qin Hui rebelled, took refuge in Zhao Shuo, and wanted to be the lord of a big city, he felt that he was the most suitable, so he led the army to rob it. The ultimate purpose of this is obviously unspeakable.
"I heard that the battle here is fierce, and Lord Qin's troops are insufficient, and I have taken Angkor's side, so I have come to support." Zhang Jun finally came up with a suitable reason.
"With such a large army dispatch, is there His Majesty's will?" Qin Hui asked calmly.
"I heard that the war here is fierce, I have come to help, I have reported the matter here to Your Majesty, and the will will be issued in a few days." Zhang Jun thought about it, and could only come up with such a set of official words.
"Huh?" Qin Hui frowned. "Lord Zhang is like this, but there is a great disrespect and guilt. Unauthorized mobilization of troops, this is a capital offense! ”
Hearing Qin Hui say this, Zhang Jun was a little angry. He came to destroy Qin Hui and become the lord of a big city-state, but now he is said by Qin Hui to be a person who has committed a capital crime, how can he bear it.
"Lord Qin, I heard that you became the lord of a big city-state? But there is such a thing! Zhang Jun didn't continue to talk about his coming here, but asked the point.
This time, it was Qin Hui's turn to be stunned. Qin Hui became the lord of the big city-state, it was proposed and rewarded by Zhao Shuo, this matter has not been completely announced, that is to say, it is still a secret, but Zhang Jun, who came from thousands of miles away, actually knew this secret, which is really incomprehensible.
This matter is only known to him except Zhao Shuo, and now he has not said it, but outsiders know about it, and this is obviously spread by Zhao Shuo.
Why did Zhao Shuo spread it? Qin Hui began to think. Is it worried that he will rebel at this time? Or do you not believe him? Or was it a test for him?
Thinking about what Zhao Shuo told him in Padbara, he had no way out!
Is it only a test? Qin Hui frowned. Looking at the soldiers of the city-states around him who were ready for battle, Qin Hui sighed.
Once the war starts, these soldiers will also reveal the identity of the lord of his city-state, rather than being found out at that time to joke, it is better to admit it calmly at this moment, which can also give some comfort to his city-state soldiers.
"Master Zhang, the news is so well-informed, it has only happened a few days ago, and you came from thousands of miles away, and you even knew it."
Regarding Qin Hui's honesty, Zhang Jun was a little surprised. Originally, he thought that Qin Hui would desperately deny it, but he didn't expect that Qin Hui would indeed admit it so calmly.
The more calm and calm Qin Hui was, the more bottomless Zhang Jun's heart became.
"You are a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, and you actually concealed what kind of big city-state you established overseas, do you know the guilt?" Zhang Jun stared at Qin Hui on the shore, shouting loudly, wanting to charge Qin Hui with a big crime, and then attack directly, destroy Qin Hui, and replace him himself.
"I said, Lord Zhang, are you showing off!" Qin Hui laughed, now as long as Zhang Jun doesn't attack, he is willing to fight with Zhang Jun here. If you can tell Zhang Jun to leave, it will be better. "I am the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am also the person directly responsible for this overseas incident, Your Majesty asked me to come, and I am in charge of everything. I consulted with the king of Song, except for Chola and the two city-states in the north, the rest is my Great Song territory, and Western Xia has been abandoned by us this time. The king of Song had already taken Chula, and I had just subdued a city-state, which was not conducive to management, so I came up with the idea of building a large city-state to make it easier to manage. I'm in charge of overseas, and I'm managing here, isn't it? ”
Qin Hui said something, Zhang Jun was speechless, indeed, Qin Hui is now the overseas plenipotentiary representative of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has decided to decide all matters overseas.
But Qin Hui also admitted in disguise that he was the lord of the big city-state, think about it, how shrewd Zhao Shuo is, how big this subcontinent is, Zhang Jun has already learned from Zhao Ziyan. In order to cause a big contradiction between the two sides, Zhao Shuo said that the subcontinent is an ideal country with a vast territory, rich products, gold everywhere, and beautiful women everywhere.
In such a place, with Zhao Shuo's treachery, there was only one Zhuluo, as well as two city-states in the northwest, and even excluded Western Xia, and gave everything else to the Great Song Dynasty, which was simply impossible.
But this impossible thing is really happening in front of our eyes, which shows something, and shows that there must be an ulterior transaction.
For example, Zhao Ziwei said that Qin Hui has taken refuge in Zhao Shuo, which is a reasonable explanation.
Because Qin Hui is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is Zhao Shuo's person in private, so he would have given him such a good treatment earlier, and this result seems to be that the Great Song Dynasty has earned, but in fact, everything is under the control of Zhao Shuo, and the Great Song Dynasty has no fart.
It is understandable why Western Xia was excluded without complaint. Although their strength is not good, their relationship with Zhao Shuo is extraordinary, under normal circumstances, Zhao Shuo naturally speaks for them, and if all this is Zhao Shuo's, then Xixia can only retreat to the side.
When you think about it, it all makes sense.
Zhang Jun took a deep breath and said. "Lord Qin is indeed powerful, he can seek so many benefits for the Great Song Dynasty, and besides, I think Lord Qin congratulates him, and his lord has made such a contribution. After returning to Lin'an, His Majesty will definitely give a great reward. ”
"Whatever Lord Zhang said, you and I are both courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is what you and I should do for the welfare of the Great Song Dynasty." Qin Hui pretended again.
"Lord Qin, I heard that this subcontinent has a vast territory, and there are not many soldiers and horses brought by adults, and after the war, there should be little left now!" Zhang Jun laughed.
"The Great Song Dynasty has come, and the people here are very respectful and grateful, and they have already reorganized the team, so I don't have to worry about this matter." Qin Hui said.
"This is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, how can this be without the Song Army!" Zhang Jun beckoned. "Come on, the first team, the fourth team, ready to kick the shore and help Lord Qin defend the territory of the Great Song Dynasty."
As soon as Zhang Jun's words fell, two large ships headed towards the port. Zhang Jun's fleet was not far from the shore, otherwise it would be impossible for Zhang Jun and Qin Hui to shout to each other from afar.
Seeing a fleet coming, Qin Hui immediately shouted loudly. "Master Zhang, what are you doing here?"
"Help the adults guard Song Land!" Zhang Jun had a natural expression on his face. "Could it be that Lord Qin, as the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, is still afraid of the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty?"
"Hmph~!" Qin Hui snorted coldly. "Zhang Jun, don't you take me too seriously? I am the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, the general person in charge of this overseas mission, although you are in charge of the army, but overseas, everything must listen to me. You keep saying that you are for the Great Song Dynasty, is it just for the Great Song Dynasty to attack the prime minister of your country? What are you pushing me again and again? ”
Qin Hui's words were also categorical, making it difficult to refute.
Zhang Jun didn't take the slightest advantage in his words, but was forced to a dead end by Qin Hui's words. If he wants to become the lord of the big city-state, he has to kill Qin Hui, no matter whether Qin Hui really takes refuge in Zhao Shuo or not, he has to do it.
"The whole army listened to the order, Qin Hui took refuge in Zhao Shuo, and divided the territory of the Great Song Dynasty without authorization. Everyone, kill Qin Hui, and the reward will be 10,000 taels. ”
Zhang Jun directly gave the order to attack, although many soldiers were still confused, but Zhang Jun had led the troops for so many years, and some henchmen still had them, and these henchmen were in important positions.
Zhang Jun gave the order, and the henchmen obeyed absolutely. So, at the first time, although not the whole army was dispatched, there was still a part of the fleet that was impulsive.
They turned their guns and attacked the shore.
Boom Boom Boom ......
After an artillery bombardment, many of the hidden soldiers of the city-state were exposed. This gave Zhang Jun an even more sufficient reason, and he pointed to the soldiers of the city-state who had fled, and shouted loudly. "Look, look, that's the evidence that Qin Hui surrendered to the enemy, he is rebelling against the Great Song Dynasty, he is a traitor, everyone rushes ......"
