"Two months. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info" Wang Shen replied.

Zhang Jun asked rhetorically: "Two months? ”

Wang Shenyi gritted his teeth: "At least forty days, no matter how short it is, it will be impossible." The main force of our Sizhou army will return to Huangzhou tomorrow, and the troops will be sent to Anlu, and they will have to prepare for two days before the war. ”

Zhang Jun shook his head: "How important it is in Shaanxi, but the old man can't stay for a moment." The reason why I stayed in Qichun today was to send Li Yanping to take up his post. Early tomorrow morning, the old man will set sail for Jingzhou, and then go up the river to Chengdu. Take Hanzhong to southern Shaanxi. Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, no one knows how to toss on the road, and when to arrive. The military situation in Guanzhong is changing rapidly, how can it be delayed? ”

He looked at Wang Shen with a reproachful gaze: "Daosi, yes, Jingchu's military is extremely important, but how can it be compared to Guanzhong?" Jing Chu Liukou is just a disease of scabies, but the Jurchens who invaded the pass are a big problem. You can tell which is more important. ”

Hearing this, Wang Shen felt disappointed in his heart: Yes, for the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, a mere Jinghu area is too small, how can it compare to the weight of the entire northwest. When the Jurchens entered the customs, they wanted to establish political power, and they would never leave again. And Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng are just rogues, walking all the way and eating all the way, but there is no possibility of cutting off the male power.

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Zhang Jun to stay because of a small Jiang Han.

What he said just now has made it very clear that the road from Sichuan to Shaanxi is too difficult to walk, and no one knows how long there will be a delay on the road. It's already June, and according to real history, the curtain of the Battle of Fuping will open in September this year when the weather is cooler. Although Zhang Deyuan listened to his own advice, he would not be in a hurry to fight a decisive battle with the Jurchens, nor would there be a fiasco in Fuping.

However, the Jurchens' strategy of attacking the remnants of the Western Army in southern Shaanxi and northwest in the autumn would not change, and Zhang Jun would not be willing to delay any more on the road.

Zhang Jun looked at Wang Shen's gaze with a sense of reproach: "Yes, pacifying Jing Xiang should be both repressed." However, you don't forget that the current Jianghan Ezhou Zhulu and Xiangyang pacification envoy is Li Heng and Li Yanping, if the old man interferes in his military affairs, it will inevitably be overstepping, and it is not in line with the court's etiquette system. I know that Yanping is more anxious, and he will have some achievements for you. However, Li Yanping is also a person who takes care of the overall situation, and he will inevitably put national affairs first, so you don't have to worry. Li Yanping understands military affairs, has prestige in the government and the opposition, and is a man of morality. He should be able to do a good job of appeasing the rebels of the former Tokyo Garrison Division, you just need to cooperate with him. Again, state affairs are important. ”

Wang Shen didn't think so, and said casually: "Yes, Zhang Xuanfu said yes." ”

Zhang Jun is such a character, so he can naturally see that Wang Shen's words should be wrong.

only smiled faintly: "Daosi, Li Yanping has achievements for you, not for you personally." Actually, yesterday must have been the first time you met, right? ”

Seeing Wang Shen nodding, Zhang Jun said: "You and I might as well be open and honest today, Li Yanping's opinion of you actually comes from Du Xiang and Du Gongmei." He used to have an old grudge with Du Gongben when he was in the Privy Council, and you are his protégé, so it is difficult to change his opinion. ”

Wang Shen sighed slightly, but stopped talking. State affairs have been eroded to this point, and the princes of the DPRK and China still think that the party will fight against differences. Who said that the Song Dynasty was the golden age of civil officials, and the political struggle was as cruel as his mother. At the beginning, Su Shi's Wutai Shi'an, Wang Anshi's party was chased and beaten fiercely, and they were not made extremely miserable by their political enemies. In the past two years, college student Chen Dongbu was cut off with a knife because he annoyed Zhao Jiu.

Without waiting for Wang Shen to say more, Zhang Jun suddenly asked: "Daosi, your current official position is the Huangzhou defense envoy of Zhengqipin, right?" ”

Wang Shen didn't understand why he asked, and responded: "Yes, Zhang Xiang, the last general is now the seventh rank martial artist." ”

Zhang Jun: "Jing Chu is too small, the group is not worth mentioning, even if there is no Wang Daosi, it can be calmed down by someone else, it's just a matter of time." How can a small corner of the world compare to the big world in Guanzhong and Northwest? I have heard for a long time that you have the courage to irrigate, and you are a first-class warrior in the world. I had a long talk with you today, and I found out that you are not only a general, but also a handsome talent. Your location should be in a bigger and higher place, not just a yellow place. It is better to hand over the army to Yanping and go to Shaanxi with the old man. In the six roads of Shaanxi, Qinfeng Road and Xihe Road have been lacking a shocking general since the death of the old and small species, which can be handed over to you. With your talents, you have made meritorious contributions to the country, and you may not be able to become another teacher, open your teeth and build a house, and achieve a great cause. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Shen with blazing eyes, his eyes full of expectations. smiled: "Daosi, aren't you the old man's protégé, this time you are willing to return to the old man's door?" ”

"Ahh Wang Shen's heart was shocked, this is already a price like a splash, and it is like a lot of wealth.

Listening to Zhang Jun's meaning, if he goes to Shaanxi with him this time, he will be Zhang Jun's henchman, and in the future, the rest of the Western Army will only be handed over to him Wang Shen to bring. At that time, after one or two decades, Wang Shen may not be able to become the first person in the military circle of the Southern Song Dynasty because Lao Zhang used all the resources at hand.

Zhang Jun has this prestige and this ability. The Great Song Dynasty was noble and martial, Zhang Deyuan was famous all over the world, and the holy family was long, and he almost entered the palm print of the political hall.

And, most importantly, Zhang Jun also has this determination.

In real history, the first thing he did when he arrived in Shaanxi was to purge the Western Army and turn the soldiers and horses of the Sixth Route of Shaanxi into his own place for Zhang. It is the instinct of every political figure to seize power, and in fact, the Western army is arrogant and cannot be suppressed without extraordinary means.

For this reason, he even borrowed the hands of others to kill the disobedient Western army general Qu Duan. and cleaned up the Wu Jie and Wu Lin brothers obediently.

If Wang Shen had been under his command this time and had gone to Shaanxi, the process of reorganizing the Western Army would have been further accelerated.

Commanding thousands of troops and horses, and becoming a leader of the generals who have not fallen for a hundred years like the way of the master and the quality of the Yan, that is the highest ideal of every warrior in the Great Song Dynasty, and Wang Shen is not tempted is also a lie.

But he couldn't.

First of all, he pretended to be Zhang Jun's disciple in Jiangbei to recruit Li Cheng, and later joined Du Chong's disciple for the future of Brother Pao Ze of the Sizhou Army, and his body has been deeply branded with the brand of Du Dang. Now that he has voted for Zhang Jun again, how does the world view himself?

The first change of the court can be said to be for the purpose of implementing the value of personal life, and the good birds choose trees to perch, and the second time is a matter of character.

In the eyes of people in this era, this is already a three-surname domestic slave, a repeated villain. If your reputation is bad, how can you stand in the world?

Secondly, what if he mixes into the status of the old race and the orifice in the future? The military people of the Song Dynasty had a humble status, and they were always just the playthings of civil officials. The civil officials failed in the political struggle, and it was a big deal to be exiled to Lingnan and become a small county official at the ends of the earth. And this kind of life is not what Wang Shen wants.

Besides, if you want to fight to the status of the old species, no one knows how long, ten, twenty, thirty years? The time span is too big, and there are too many variables. Even Zhang Deyuan, in real history, was only a few years old, and then he went into the wilderness. As a prophetic traveler, how could I, Wang Shen, pin my personal fate on Zhang Jun, who was destined to lose in the political struggle of the imperial court.

The most important thing is to listen to Zhang Jun's words, which means that he will hand over the hard-trained Sizhou army to Li Heng and go to Shaanxi with him alone. Only after integrating the rest of the Western Army will he have an army that truly belongs to him. The Western Army has been in Shaanxi for a hundred years, and the relationship between them is complicated.

No matter how many men and horses there are in the Western Army, no matter how many resources they can have at their disposal in the future, how can they compare to the real strength in their hands?

In the Sizhou army, I, Wang Shen, have poured too much effort into it, how can I bear to abandon those robed brothers who trust me?

As the saying goes: rely on the mountains, rely on everyone to run, and rely on yourself to be the best.

Without him Zhang Deyuan, I, Wang Shen, would not be able to take revenge in my heart? If I, Wang Shen, wanted to take a shortcut, I would have already gone with Li Cheng at the beginning, and I would have to wait for today.

It's a big deal that the road ahead is a little longer, but being down-to-earth is the safest.

Men and sons must not pin their fate on others. Even if Zhang Jun refuses to help, even if Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng's bandit army are strong, what is it?

Thinking of this, Wang Shen felt a sense of pride in his heart, and his belief was suddenly reached.

He shook his head to the ground: "Thank you Zhang Xuanfu, you can be valued by the public, and the general will be grateful." ”

Just now Wang Shen was at war with heaven and man in his heart, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and Zhang Jun was not in a hurry, so he smiled and set his eyes on him. At this moment, seeing Wang Shen bowing down, he couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to help him up: "Daosi, Daosi, you and I are teachers and students, why use such a big gift." ”

"Nope." Wang Shen gritted his teeth and finished the salute, and said sincerely: "However, the last general is only afraid that he will disappoint the prime minister." ”

Zhang Jun was stunned.

Wang Shen said slowly: "The Sizhou army was pulled up by the last general, Wang Shen promised them not to abandon or give up, if they are now left to go to Shaanxi for their own future, wouldn't they have no end?" ”

His voice gradually became louder: "Husband, what you say must be counted." Zhang Xianggong, please forgive me for not being able to walk with you. In addition, the Jurchens invaded our Great Song Dynasty, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hubei, Hunan, and even the two Huaijiang rivers were all one. Shaanxi is a battlefield, and I am not Jingchu. When the Zhang and Cao thief armies were wiped out, Wang Shen regained Xiangyang with the Lone Army, sent troops to western Henan, and cooperated with the Shaanxi battlefield. In the end, the general thought that Wang Shen would play a greater role in staying in Jingchu and be more able to serve the country and the nation. ”

When Zhang Jun heard Wang Shen refuse his offer, he was still slightly annoyed at first, and his brows were furrowed. Hearing this, his heart moved: Yes, if Wang Shen can send troops to Xiangyang in the future and cooperate with the Guanzhong battlefield, it will play a greater role than if he went to Shaanxi alone. After the Wushu East Route Army retreated north, it is now stationed in Kaifeng and Luoyang. The soldiers and horses they have at hand are the elite of the Jurchen elite, and if they enter Tongguan and join the Guanzhong battlefield, things will be in trouble. If Wang Shen can contain the vultures, the situation in Shaanxi may be reversed. After all, this son is determined, and he is a loyal and upright man who refuses to abandon his robe and subordinates, so why force it?

In addition, the reason why the old man wanted to take Wang Shen away was that he inevitably had no idea of seizing military power in Sizhou for Li Yanping in his heart. Doing so, but there are some villains, ashamed, ashamed!

……

It's just that you can't put a handsome talent like Wang Daosi under the account, it's a pity!

Supporting Wang Shen, Zhang Jun sighed for a long time before he said: "Understand, understand." ”

……

Saying goodbye to Zhang Jun, Wang Shen didn't speak, but rode a war horse and galloped all the way.

All the soldiers did not dare to speak, but buried their heads in the road.

After traveling for more than ten miles, the wind blew, the night clouds in the sky dispersed, and the moonlight was coldly projected down.

Siye is lonely, full of deserted village ruins, but there is no light in sight.

couldn't help but let out a long howl, and sang in a low voice: "Looking at the Central Plains from afar, there are many cities outside the barren smoke. I want to be back then, the flowers cover the willows, and the phoenix tower dragon pavilion. Long live the pearls in front of the mountain, and the sheng song is composed in the Penghu Palace. To this day, the iron ride is full of suburbs, and the wind and dust are evil. Where are the soldiers? Anointed edge. Where is the people? Fill in the ravines. Sigh that the rivers and mountains are the same, and there are few villages. ”

"When will you please raise the Rui Brigade and cross Qingheluo with a whip. But he returned, continued the Hanyang tour, and rode the yellow crane. ”

He turned his head in the direction of Xiangyang to the north and turned to Henan.

Yes, that's where I want to be in the future.

After passing through a game, there is finally some strength at hand, and it is time to do something for the country and the nation.

It's not a pity that I can't go to Shaanxi. What is a hundred years of unfallen generals, how can it compare to the heavenly general of my Han family.

All you and I need to do is to hold up the world that is about to collapse with this useful body, even if we are broken, we can't care about so much.

Otherwise, in just a hundred years, the Mongolian iron cavalry will go south, and there will be no China after Yashan, and the Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous moment.

After singing the song, Wang Shen couldn't help but laugh.

On horseback, all the knights bowed down at the same time and shook deeply. What Wang Shen and Zhang Shu said in the small tent before, they could understand what they were guarding outside.

Wang Junenvoy actually gave up the high-ranking officials and gave up the opportunity to become the second old breed to stay, just because he couldn't give up everyone. Having such a commander is the greatest luck of my generation of military men.

To be able to fight on the battlefield for such a commander and shed blood and sacrifice for him is worth it in this life.

……

However, Wang Shen's trip was not in vain. He got a stack of blank notices from Zhang Jun's hand, and a few letters of protection for An Lu Qunkou, which may not come in handy at the right opportunity in the future.

Next, it is time to return to Huangzhou, and then go all out to the west.
