Brother Zijia, the land of war, is extraordinary, extremely dangerous, not child's play. 【Reading.com】

Seeing the relaxed and casual on Zhang Yansheng's face, Xiao Mo frowned and said.

After Zhang Yansheng heard Xiao Mo's words, his expression gradually became serious, and he nodded and said: "What Zirou said, I naturally know that from Liangcheng to Xuancheng, there are already fourteen cities before and after, which proves the strength of the Northern Grassland Alliance. ”

Xiao Mo asked, "Isn't Brother Zijia worried about the danger of future battles?" ”

Zhang Yansheng shook his head, sighed, and said, "It is precisely because of the danger that I want to go." ”

Xiao Mo was slightly stunned and asked, "What's the explanation?" ”

Zhang Yansheng said: "Zirou, to be honest, these days of successive bad news, I don't feel uneasy and panicked like others, but feel helpless, the strength of the Northern Grassland Coalition Army is strong, in just two months, forcing my Great Chu Dynasty to be precarious, three times a day, the front-line soldiers are incompetent, and they have lost consecutive battles, and in a few days, I am afraid that the grassland barbarians will be close to the capital." ”

Saying that, Zhang Yansheng sneered and said: "The ministers of the DPRK and China don't know how to negotiate peace when they should talk about it. When they shouldn't have negotiated peace, they not only thought about peace, but they also thought about moving the capital, and I didn't trust them. I also don't want to leave my own fate to them. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Mo couldn't help but be stunned.

He always thought that Zhang Yansheng should have been controlled by Zhang Qian all the time, but judging from Zhang Yansheng's tone just now, Zhang Qian's influence on Zhang Yansheng was much lower than everyone imagined.

And speaking of this, Zhang Yansheng stared at Xiao Mo for a long time, then shook his head and said:

"To tell you the truth, Zirou, I asked Your Majesty to canonize me as the Privy Testament, which was already written yesterday, and I was supposed to play it on Your Majesty today, but I didn't expect Zirou that you were already the first, there is no way, I can only temporarily change my mind and ask Your Majesty to canonize me as the deputy secretary."

Hearing Zhang Yansheng say this, Xiao Mo was stunned again and asked, "Listening to what Brother Zijia said, it seems that he is very confident in the battle of Shangyuan City?" ”

Zhang Yansheng didn't answer the rhetorical question, and replied to Xiao Mo: "Zirou thinks, what is the situation of the grassland coalition army now?" ”

After Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment, after noticing Zhang Yansheng's expression, he smiled and said honestly: "It seems to be strong, but in fact, it has reached the extreme. ”

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, Zhang Yansheng laughed and said: "Three months ago, the Eight Sages King resisted the grassland coalition army in Pingxing Pass for more than a month, and the two sides fought fiercely. This mental and physical exhaustion will explode, and it will come more violently than ever. After all, even an iron man can't fight for three months in a row. This is one of them. ”

Xiao Mo said: "Second, in the past three months, the grassland coalition army seems to have achieved brilliant results and is like a bamboo, but in fact, the purpose of their real invasion of Dachu, that is, grain and grass, under the early response of the imperial court, is not a big harvest, and now the grain and grass carried by the grassland coalition army is only enough for them for a month. They were doomed to the end of the road, and the ridiculous thing is that they even plundered slaves several times their number, leaving hidden dangers, but the consumption of grain and grass was faster, but in January, it was still optimistic. ”

Zhang Yansheng said again: "Third, they began to invade at the time of the autumn solstice, at this time three months have passed, the weather is getting colder, the winter solstice has arrived, once the snow falls, the earth is muddy or frozen, the power of their cavalry has dropped by half, not to mention, they themselves will be cold and warm and greatly affected. ”

Xiao Mo said: "Fourth, among the grassland alliances, the most powerful is the Barbarian Di clan, but they fought against the Eight Sages King outside the Pingxing Pass, but they were unable to win for a long time, but in the end, they still borrowed the strength of the Khitan and other clans on the grassland to break the Great Wall. In this way, the Khitan and other clans were proud of their achievements, and because of the losses of the Barbarians outside the Pingxing Pass, the two sides were already equal in strength, and the internal instability was unstable, and they encountered obstacles. There will be suspicions. ”

Zhang Yansheng sighed and continued: "As for the last point, it is that the grassland alliance army is too eager to advance through the battle, and every time they encounter the enemy, although they defeat it, they do not eradicate it and kill them all. At this time, the lone army is deep, but the rear is to keep a large number of remnants of my Dachu, once these remnants are organized, the back road is blocked, there are many intrusions, they have ten strength, I am afraid they can only play seven points, this is the fifth. ”

It's very simple to talk to smart people, and it's also very tiring to talk to smart people, Xiao Mo suddenly found that he couldn't dislike Zhang Yansheng, but he definitely couldn't read it, so he subconsciously shook his head. said: "So, for the end of these strong crossbows, as long as the method is right, and with some luck, it can withstand the last month, and the war can probably be reversed." ”

Zhang Yansheng smiled and said leisurely! "Therefore, the battle of Shangyuan City is the last chance for Da Chu, and it is also the only chance. Pity. The ministers of the DPRK and China, however, were frightened by the successive defeats, and were completely unaware of this. ”

Xiao Mo frowned and asked, "Zijia, among those ministers of the DPRK and China, there is also your grandfather, Lord Zhang Qian, have you never told him about these points?" ”

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, the leisurely calmness on Zhang Yansheng's face suddenly became extremely complicated, his eyes changed, and after a long time, he said lightly: "Grandfather, he is good at inside and outside, he may understand these words, but for the sake of safety, he will never let me go to Shangyuan City, so these things have always been prepared by me in secret." ”

After hearing Zhang Yansheng's words, Xiao Mo was thoughtful.

Zhang Yansheng wanted to be in a hurry to make meritorious deeds. It's so out of the control of Prime Minister Zhang Qian.

Shaking his head and not thinking about it anymore, Xiao Mo asked, "So, Brother Zijia already has a good strategy to defend against the enemy?" ”

Zhang Yansheng's expression returned to a faint naturalness again, and said with a smile: "Doesn't Zirou also have a strategy to defend against the enemy?" Otherwise, why would you take the initiative to ask Your Majesty for this errand and rob me of my credit? ”

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Aren't you going to share my credit right away?" ”

Zhang Yansheng sighed and said: "No matter how great the credit of the deputy is, it is not as good as the main envoy, and the reason why I asked His Majesty for the errand of the deputy is just better than nothing." ”

Not wanting to continue to talk about this matter, Xiao Mo shook his head and said, "These days. I thought of three strategies and two things to ward off the enemy. What about Brother Zijia? ”

Zhang Yansheng was slightly stunned and said, "I thought of the four strategies to resist the enemy, but I didn't think of the power of receiving artifacts. ”

Seeing that both sides had something that the other party hadn't thought of, Xiao Mo and Zhang Yansheng were a little excited, and they didn't sleep all night, but they discussed it in Xiao Mo's study.

Then, there was a night of bickering, debating, and deliberating.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Mo, who had not slept all night, said goodbye to the reluctant Xiao family, and rejected Xiao Huan and Fan Guan's idea of walking with Xiao Mo. After all, although countless ways have been thought of, Shangyuan City is still a dangerous place.

Then, he and Zhang Yansheng were ordered to go to the court and accept the canonization of Emperor Chu Ling. was personally sent outside the capital by hundreds of civil and military officials, and without delay, he rode on a good horse given by Emperor Chu Ling, and carried the sword of Shang Fang given by Emperor Chu Ling. led 5,000 Beijing troops and quickly headed towards Shangyuan City.

Because of Zhang Xingsheng's private advocacy, in the early dynasty, Prime Minister Zhang Qian looked at Zhang Yansheng's eyes. Almost as if he was about to erupt fire, he never thought that Zhang Yansheng, who had always been obedient, would go against his will at this time.

But under the anger, there is a deep worry that anyone can see, which is clearly proof that when Xiao Mo, Zhang Yansheng and others felt ten miles away from the capital, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion had been waiting for a long time.

There are three people in the lead, one of them is Qin Jun, who Xiao Mo is more familiar with, and the other two are two of the three masters of the Prime Minister's Mansion besides Qin Jun.

Behind the three of them were thirty sturdy men, all of whom were dead soldiers raised by the Prime Minister's Mansion. The reason why they are waiting here is to protect Zhang Yansheng in the name of Zhang Qian in the coming days.

In comparison, Di Shangquan, Chu Da, and Cao Fei, who were with Xiao Mo, as well as the twenty nurses, were much worse.

Speeding all the way, Xiao Mo rode a fast horse for the first time, only felt the pain, and the inner thighs were full of hot pain, if it weren't for Chu Da and the others to take care of him, I'm afraid Xiao Mo would have fallen off the horse halfway.

Looking at Zhang Yansheng's expression, Xiao Mo endured the discomfort and asked, "Brother Zijia, what's wrong?" Are you still worried about the Prime Minister's affairs? ”

Since the early days of the dynasty, although Zhang Qian and Zhang Yansheng had many opportunities to meet, they never took the initiative to say a word until Zhang Yansheng left Beijing. Zhang Qiancai spit out four words stiffly.

"Come back alive."

No matter what Zhang Qian's temperament is, what position he is in. In front of Zhang Yansheng, he is just a grandfather. So much for.

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, Zhang Yansheng turned his head and said softly, "Zirou, do you know? It was the first time since I was born that I had disobeyed my grandfather's wishes. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yansheng actually smiled, full of relief.

After a day of traveling, finally, Shangyuan City was in sight.
