Chapter 0416: Prepare for the Southern Expedition
Seeing that Zhang Yue ignored it, Li Chongjin was greatly annoyed, recalling that in the past, this person was just a small commander, but now his rank is higher than himself, and he actually accused the Southern Expedition Forbidden Army of delaying the war and wasting money and food. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although he didn't say it so clearly, he was recruited by the Huainan camp, and he had an unshirkable responsibility, which was a slap in the face!
But Zhang Yue didn't open his mouth to respond, Li Chongjin couldn't take a breath, his face slowly swollen red, and recalled that Han Lingkun, the left guard Ma Jun, Yuan Yan, the guard infantry made Yuan Yan, Zhao Chao in the right wing of Hujie, Zhao Ding in the left wing of Hujie and others, saw that all the generals were angry, so they slammed their eyes.
Han Lingkun is sitting with Zhao Kuangyin, his row is several generals of the front division of the palace, Zhang Yongde is still in Huainan in front of the palace, Zhao Kuangyin is actually in charge of the front division of the palace, and the generals see that he did not speak, so they naturally do not answer.
And Yuan Yan was also born in the Tianxiong Army Colonel when the first emperor Guo Wei was in the capital of Ye, and Zhang Yue was only reused after Guo Wei appreciated it, as a department from the same family, almost the same background, he felt that Zhang Yue was right, and the war in Huainan had indeed dragged on for too long.
Several people glanced at each other, and when they saw Yuan Yan's gaze wandering, Zhao Chao said in a weird manner: "If the envoy says so according to the rules, I and the soldiers of the Southern Expedition will be passive and slack off, and we will deliberately delay and not enter!" I heard that the soldiers of the Western Expedition beheaded tens of thousands of people in the first battle, who knows if it is true? But they have not heard of any fortified cities. ”
"The use of soldiers is incompetent, but it is brave to kill prisoners, such a strong person in the middle, a certain disdain to talk to him!" Zhang Yue picked up the wine cup and drank it all, showing his arrogance.
"Your Majesty, please show your pros and cons, know the gains and losses, and then be brave after knowing the shame, but why are you arguing?" Fan Zhen couldn't look at it, of course he knew about the internal cause of the Huainan war, and the civil and military officials sitting in the hall all understood it more or less, but no one pointed to the core of the problem, but this Leng Touqing was singled out.
Wu Xingde and Li Jixun were defeated by the Southern Tang Army of the Purple Mountain, Wu Xingde was only spared, Li Jixun only escaped with hundreds of cavalry soldiers, this crime has not yet been decided, if the problem spreads again, many generals will have to be punished, and the emperor's face must not look good.
"Let's go! I forgot that this time was to celebrate the achievements of the soldiers of the Western Expedition, and I shouldn't have talked about such a disappointing thing. But since the topic has been raised, Zhang Yuanzhen also has his own opinions, so I will grant you to be the colonel of the forbidden army, prepare logistics, and relocate the elite to rebuild the camp in preparation for the southern expedition. Guo Rong duly terminated the topic, but threw another bombshell.
The forbidden army all points to the school, and this "point" refers to the meaning of assignment and selection, and "school" refers to the school and the referee. This is a temporary dispatch officer, who is temporarily selecting and training troops, don't think that he can command the entire forbidden army, it is almost the same as the inspection in front of the palace, it is all about the inspection and restraint of the army, but it is not the real power of the army. Generally, it is a capable, prestigious, or trusted general of the emperor.
"Your Majesty! The front division of the palace and the guard division still have some forbidden troops stationed in Huainan, and the camp is still moving, does this reorganization of the camp overlap? "Wei Renpu is in charge of the privy council, so he has to ask.
"No overlap! Take it as the east road camp! Guo Rong nodded, it seemed that he had listened to Wang Pu and Zhang Yue's words.
Fan Zhen looked at Zhang Yue and opened his mouth, wanted to say something and held back, and secretly complained in his heart: This Leng Touqing is in a high position with military merits, and he really doesn't know anything, although he dares to speak out, he doesn't know how to shirk such a heavy responsibility, and when the time comes, he will see how you end up if something happens.
But seeing Zhang Yue Shi Ran get up, he stepped out and bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "The minister respectfully accepts the order!" ”
A group of forbidden army generals looked at each other, instantly felt at a loss, the emperor in addition to Zhang Yongde, Li Chongjin two commanders and appointed officials, if the time is in the field to inspect the army, who can listen to it?
"Everyone, love Qing and have fun! I still have some things to do with you! Guo Rong stood up, said with a smile, and walked out of the side hall.
The emperor has no selfish affairs, and it is normal to take advantage of the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of the banquet to talk about some public facts that are usually inconvenient to talk about, and when he leaves, there is a buzz in the hall, and the eyes of the civil and military officials sweep to Zhang Yue from time to time, and they all turn their heads and ears.
Of course, Zhang Yue knew that he had said too much, he had offended a lot of people, and he was not interested in staying longer, and his belly was also full, so he stood up like no one at the moment, hugged his fists to everyone and said: "Slow use, Zhang Mou is out of company first!" ”
Just walked out of the side hall, the old man Fu Yanlin chased him out, every time he went to the court to give a banquet, he had a share, but he didn't have much chance to speak, and he didn't want to do much. When Zhang Yue saw him coming up, he stopped on the steps and waited for him, smiled and arched his hand: "The son-in-law has not yet come to the door, and the honorable man has always been good?" ”
"Yuanzhen, why are you so reckless? It's so simple to pick up a drudgery, is this going to continue to work with Li Chongjin and Zhang Baoyi? What's in it with you? The old man grimaced, indicating that it was difficult to understand.
"Zun Weng clearly sees that the desire to seek governance today is very serious, and the son-in-law is admonishing on major military affairs, and he definitely does not intend to dismantle the stage, if it damages the power and interests of some people, it is also a last resort!" Zhang Yue smiled bitterly.
At this time, a little yellow door attendant trotted over with a tail in his arms, saw Fu Yanlin there, bowed down and smiled, and turned to Zhang Yue and said: "Captain Zhang, stay here, the official family summons you to see!" ”
"Why bother? It's still too late to refuse now...... "Fu Yanlin was stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to send someone to retain the right person so quickly, but Zhang Yue had already turned around and followed the inner servant. Fu Yanlin shook her head, dusted off her robe and walked towards Xuanyou Gate.
Zhang Yue followed the inner attendant to the east side of the hall, it turned out that there was a door and a corridor leading to the apse, and when he arrived at the main hall, the attendant pointed to the vermilion lacquer portal on the east side of the back, and signaled Zhang Yue to go in by himself.
Zhang Yue stepped in, and saw that the green smoke in the incense burner inside, was burning sandalwood, Guo Rong sat behind the imperial security to review the chapter, next to only a few eunuchs who accompanied him, and there were no outsiders.
"You don't have to be polite, come and sit!" When Guo Rong saw Zhang Yue enter the door, he raised his head and put down the red pen, and leaned relaxed towards the wide backrest of the high couch. It's a bit like a chair, but it's much wider and more clumsy.
"The minister has seen Your Majesty!" Zhang Yue knew that Guo Rong had doubts, and when he saw that the waiter had moved over a low couch, he sat down, but just arched his hand. There are too many etiquettes that are really cumbersome, and in this era, people are not the first to speak, but often the first to give up.
"In the battle of Huainan, many generals have made mistakes, and I also know it, but the war is frequent, and it is the time to employ people, so it is necessary to make the best use of people's talents and forgive their mistakes. The two southern expeditions cost a lot of money, I can't drag it out any longer to make people see jokes, Yuan Zhen has a good strategy, you might as well state it directly! "The western expedition went smoothly, but Huainan was still unresolved, and Guo Rong added to the pressure.
"Back to Your Majesty! Xianggong Wen Bo also talked about logistics, and the minister said the strategy of entering the army, and His Majesty entrusted him with a heavy task, and the minister should do his best! As for some details of how to form the camp, Rong Chen went back to find out the soldiers to learn more about it, and there will be a book to present it in ten days! Zhang Yue replied.
Without investigation, he has no right to speak, and his previous understanding was not too detailed, and a lot of it was based on the war report, as well as the information that Li Chuyun and others informed him through the Military Intelligence Department, plus some speculation and inference, which cannot guarantee that it is absolutely true.
Then it is debatable how to reorganize the camp and how to reorganize the elite soldiers. What's more, it is not a simple matter to require the cooperation of Li Chongjin, Zhao Kuangyin, and the support of Zhang Mei of the third division. (To be continued.) )
