Chapter 107:-for-tat
After a long time, after preparing the wording in his heart, he saw that Zhang Ru was wearing civilian clothes and holding a beautiful woman in his hand, and he said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the commander wants to talk about military aircraft in this public?" Could it be that the commander thinks that military regulations in the army are child's play? It seems that the commander does not look like he is talking about military affairs with the last general, when the governor puts the energy of his children and daughters on military affairs, the last general will definitely open the door to greet him. ”
Now, it's Zhang Ru's turn to be embarrassed.
Indeed, pulling a Su Qiqi in front of so many people, even if there is really urgent military affairs, it is impossible to talk about it.
But he didn't plan to just stop like that, after all, he had asked people to go to Zhang An of Zhao State eight times.
"Okay, Ben will go back to your house with you now, today, I must listen to you, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, what kind of emergency military affairs are used to indulge his subordinates in the city." Zhang Ru sneered.
The two sides faced each other, and neither refused to give each other steps.
At this moment, Su Qiqi took advantage of Zhang Ru and Zhang An's ability to speak, and vigorously broke free of the hand that had been pinched red by Zhang Ru. She turned around, didn't look at Zhang Ru, and ran away without looking back.
Several men with very raw faces hiding in the crowd followed, they were very orderly, and each of them chose a different path.
Zhang An teased: "The commander doesn't want to chase after him? ”
Zhang Ru was calm: "The people are there, there is no need to chase." However, the current matter needs to be properly resolved, otherwise, there are really thieves and criminals, and you and I will not be able to get out. ”
Zhang An squinted his eyes, and his tone was cold: "If you don't worry about the commander, this matter will definitely be presented to the military department, and the adults above will definitely be able to give a proper plan." ”
If you want to fight a war, you must go through the six departments, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for a general soldier to say that he wants to fight.
In the nine important places, there are eunuchs guarding the town, and they are all privately transferred without the dispatch of soldiers and horses from the military department, which is a big crime involving rebellion, and no one dares to bear it.
Among the six departments, the cooperation of the household department and the official department is also needed, so that the army can really go to the front line to fight, otherwise let a group of big men go to the battlefield, I am afraid that there will not be too many people killed in battle, and there will be many starving to death.
Zhang Ru leaned over and lowered his voice and asked, "But what really happened?" ”
From the other party's tone, he heard that something was wrong, if it was really just for these cavalry to excuse him, there was no need for Zhang An to say in front of so many people that he would report to the military department.
Zhang An's expression was a little dignified, and he also lowered his voice and said, "Go to the last general's mansion and say, this is not the place to speak." ”
The people, who thought that there was a good show to watch, were bored, because the two bigwigs seemed to have reached a tacit understanding in private, and it didn't take long for the confrontation between the two sides to disperse.
Jiang Wei was very clever to send Jinyiwei to follow Su Qiqi's footsteps, and in the process of tracking, Jinyiwei's people found those people who were secretly watching, but they didn't know how many of these people there were, they just sent the information back.
Of course, when the information was sent to Zhang Ru, it was already after Zhang Ru and Zhang An had finished talking.
As soon as he arrived at the mansion of the general soldier, Zhang An took Zhang Ru into the study without saying a word, and did not beckon Zhang Ru to sit down, so he took out a bamboo tube from his arms and threw it to Zhang Ru: "The commander will take a look for himself!" This is Datong's urgent report, the little Tatar prince Batu Munk led 200,000 steppe iron cavalry to attack Datong Town, this time, it seems that it is not a joke. ”
Zhang Ru frowned: "The Tatars have been committing crimes for many years, and this Batu Munk is not an idle person, after destroying the Warat, the Tatar power has increased greatly." But it's only August now, and it's not yet late autumn, so why can't they hold it back this time? ”
Zhang An's eyes were deep, and his eyes were full of several layers of meaning, but unfortunately Zhang Ru didn't understand a single layer.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Batu Munch has always had no rules to follow. This time, 200,000 troops were raised, which can be said to exhaust all the forces of the Tatars. Over the years, the Tatars have been transferred from Xuanfu and Jizhen to help. It's strange to say this time, Duoyan Sanwei hasn't moved for many years, and this year it has also begun to jump. Originally, Liaodong could still transfer troops over, but Jianyu was not very obedient, and Wu Qian could only send troops to suppress it. Li Ming of Jizhen, the last general has been notified, and now I am waiting for the opinion of the Ministry of War. ”
"Does Mr. Zhang think this battle should be fought?" Zhang Ru asked with interest.
Things are not so simple, what is the ulterior motive behind this, only Batumunk knows.
He didn't think about the people inside the Ming Dynasty, in his opinion, the Ming Dynasty was a rare feudal dynasty in history that did not cede land, did not pay compensation, did not pay tribute, and did not make peace.
The children and grandchildren of the old Zhu family, whether they are stupid or wise, have achieved the point that the Son of Heaven guards the country. Even the last emperor Chongzhen, who was ambitious and talented, finally came to a king who died in the end.
It can be said that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, many people's lives are full of tragedy.
Jianyu, Duoyan Sanwei, and Tatar, is there any collusion between these three? Otherwise, why would they be in trouble at about the same time?
Zhang An glanced at Zhang Ru in surprise, and then snorted coldly with a little annoyance: "Since the founding of our Ming Dynasty, we have not asked anyone for peace. This battle is naturally going to be fought, but I don't know how the adults in the military department are going to fight. ”
Zhang Ru praised: "Okay, sure enough, he is worthy of being the general of the town, and the words he said are extraordinary." Since it is necessary to fight, it is necessary to have someone familiar with Tatar to lead the troops. Who does the general think? ”
Speaking of military affairs, Zhang Anxin's vigilance relaxed a lot, he frowned and pondered for a moment before he analyzed: "It stands to reason that Xu Ning is a good choice, but unfortunately, he is dead now." Although Yang Rong was familiar with the Tatars, his eyes were too close, and it was okay to defend the city, but it was not possible to attack at all. He can win small battles, and he is the commander of big wars, completely letting his brothers die to death.
There are very few adults in the capital who know the roots, and there used to be a eunuch Wang Zhi who could fight, but now Wang Zhi has also been taken to Nanjing.
The last general is not worried about Gu Qian's side, he is a veteran, and there should be no mistakes.
Li Ming has been guarding Jizhen for more than 20 years, although he is old, his ambition has not diminished, and he should be able to take on the position of commander. ”
After talking for a long time, he was stunned that he didn't pull it on his head, which surprised Zhang Ru.
Since the other party didn't mention it, he simply mentioned it directly: "Could it be that Mr. Zhang is so unconfident in himself?" The general army has been guarding the Xuanfu for five or six years, and when you were in Datong Town before, you fought with Batu Munk on the frontal battlefield, so it stands to reason that you are the best candidate! ”
Zhang An glanced at Zhang Ru: "Originally, the last general is indeed the best candidate, but the last general has offended the commander, I am afraid that even if the last general is the best candidate, the commander will not choose the last general." ”
Zhang Ru said solemnly: "Zhang Zongbing not only underestimated himself, but also underestimated Zhang, the kid is not talented, and there is indeed a gap between him and the general." But in military affairs, the general will not be so confused.
It is not surprising that in this war against the Tatars, His Majesty will definitely try his best to let the general be the commander of the three armies, even if the Ministry of War proposes other candidates, it is useless.
At that time, General Zhang was asked to preside over the overall work, and he was willing to follow General Bing and learn more things. ”
Zhang An was first surprised, and then rejoiced.
I was surprised that Zhang Ru would let him preside over the whole work, and happily, Zhang Ru didn't seem to be entertaining himself when he spoke. The Ming Dynasty is not a later generation, and few people will joke about this kind of legitimate thing.
"Is that true?" Zhang An asked in disbelief.
Zhang Ru nodded: "Once the word is spoken, the horse is difficult to chase." ”
At this moment, Zhang An, who was extremely majestic in the army, actually had a feeling of being moved, and he suddenly felt that this young man did not seem to be as hateful as the legend.
"The commander is not afraid that the last general will make new contributions, and it will be difficult to control when the time comes?" Zhang An forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said slowly.
Zhang Ru raised his eyebrows, found a place to sit down, touched his chin that was already not good, and said: "The general soldiers are not afraid that the generals will take advantage of your military merits in the future, is Zhang still afraid that the general will not make meritorious contributions?" Although Zhang Ru is not talented, he also knows that he is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and foreign enemies invade, so he should naturally share the same hatred. The contradictions between us, after the war, will be resolved by ourselves behind closed doors, and no one needs to intervene. Whoever dares to meddle in our family affairs will be beaten so that they don't even know their parents.
The Central Plains was enslaved by the Tartars for two hundred years before there was the Ming Dynasty, and we cannot allow it to happen again when the Tartars humiliate it. ”
Zhang An laughed: "Okay! beat them so much that they didn't even know their parents. ”
The two burst into laughter in the study, and the soldier guarding the door looked strange, he had followed Zhang An for three or four years, but he had never seen his own general laugh so heartily.
After a while, the two stopped smiling at the same time, and Zhang Ru's face sank: "Here, we can sympathize with each other, and after we go out, we will ask Mr. Zhang to restore his original state." ”
Zhang An nodded clearly: "That's natural, I don't mean to be an enemy of you, it's just that I can't help myself." One day in the future, it will be too late for a certain general to repay the kindness, so let's talk about wine again. ”
Zhang Ru stretched out his palm: "A gentleman's word!" ”
Zhang An also stretched out his rough big hand and hit Zhang Ru's hand hard, and then the two hands were tightly clasped together: "Whip the horse quickly." ”
This invisible alliance formed because of the impending war was reached in the study of the Xuanfu General Soldier's Mansion, which looked very shabby.
Except for the pro-soldier who seemed to know something but couldn't say what he knew, no one knew what the two were talking about inside, because when Zhang Ru walked out of the General Soldier's Mansion, he was angry.
Returning to the eunuch's mansion, Fan Tong came over and said, "My lord, I have found the whereabouts of my wife, she is in the mansion of Xie Qianjin, a wealthy merchant in Xuanfu." ”
