357 Zhang Jun never forgot his promise

Listening to Zhang Jun's words, Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, a little strange, he and Zhang Jun couldn't fight together, what did he come to do with him? It stands to reason that a civil official like him has no connection with a military general like himself, and he is looking for Yue Fan instead of himself, so Yue Fei asked curiously: "There shouldn't be anything to talk about between Deyuan and me, right?" ”

Zhang Jun shook his head: "In this matter, only Yue Shuai can help the lower officials!" ”

Yue Fei felt very strange, what did he have to do to help him?

"Tell me, what must be the commander to help you?" Yue Fei asked.

Zhang Jun gritted his teeth, made up his mind again, and said loudly: "Xiaguan hopes to fight in the northwest with Yue Shuai!" ”

"What?" Yue Fei was stunned for a while, and then asked in surprise, although it has been a while since Zhao Huan ordered that civil and military affairs should not be distinguished from each other, but the tradition of a hundred years has not been completely corrected so easily, and the literati generally still have some disrespect for the martial arts, especially after the literati no longer lead the troops to fight, there is basically not much communication between the literati and the martial arts, and the martial artists basically only communicate with the people of the Privy Council, and the two sides have no direct contacts.

Zhang Jun is an orthodox civil official, he took the imperial examination to ascend to the Great Song Dynasty, he has the capital to look down on the martial arts, just like the practice of literati refusing to hold military positions, Zhang Jun should have nothing to do with the army, but why at this time, Zhang Jun actually proposed to join the army and fight in the northwest with Yue Fei?

Yue Fei was very puzzled and very curious.

Zhang Jun's reason made Yue Fei a little embarrassed.

"Back then, when Yue Xianggong led the army to fight to the death in Tokyo City, Xia Guan witnessed the death battle between Yue Xianggong and 30,000 Jian'er at the head of Tokyo City, and only hated himself for having no force and no military strategy. I can't help Yue Xianggong, I can only watch the soldiers die in battle, Yue Xianggong is isolated, and he must evacuate with the people of Tokyo. Just because I once made an oath under it. Zhang Jun's eyes were red.

Yue Fei frowned and asked, "What oath?" ”

Zhang Jun said: "At that time, when the lower officials saw the soldiers fighting to the death, they swore that in this life, if they can't calm the Jurchens, they will die without a place to be buried, and they will not be allowed to enter the ancestral tomb and ancestral shrine. ”

Yue Fei was shocked in his heart, this oath. can be regarded as a very severe oath, making this kind of oath, especially the person who made the oath to the ancestors, if he really didn't do it, then he really couldn't pass this level in his heart in the future, Zhang Jun seemed to be tortured by the oath, so he found himself, as a civil official. Ask to go with the army.

It takes a lot of courage.

"Your business, Ben Shuai understands. However, Ben Shuai can't easily promise you, first of all, you are a civilian official, and if you want to go with the army, you need a name, not to mention that you may prefer to fight on the battlefield. Then it is even more necessary to have a name, or even give up his civilian status and become a military attaché, because the Great Song Dynasty no longer has the word of supervising the army and went to the battlefield. You are a civilian official, you are not familiar with military affairs, and the commander considers the overall situation, how can he let you fight? "Every sentence of Yue Fei is very pertinent.

Zhang Jun said goodbye: "Over the years, whenever the lower officials have free time, they will study military books, understand the art of war, look for ancient combat examples, and use them in practice, and will also consult some officers on the corresponding military affairs, I dare not say that I know more, but I will definitely not know nothing like the rest of the civilian officials, Yue Shuai does not need to worry too much." ”

Yue Fei shook his head and said: "Battlefield conquest, by no means a military book can be summarized, if you think that you can fight on the battlefield by reading through the military book, then it is a big mistake, the battlefield is changing rapidly, anything can happen, if you completely follow the military book to fight, then the result is on paper, there is no doubt about defeat, the military book is just the accumulation of knowledge, how to use it depends on yourself, the wonder of the military formation, care about one heart, how to fight, it depends on yourself." ”

Zhang Jun nodded, indicating that he understood: "Xiaguan understands, what Yue Shuai said, Xiaguan keeps it in mind, Xiaguan does not have experience, and he has not really fought a war, but Xiaguan has this heart, Xiaguan is willing to pay any price and go to the battlefield, even if he throws away his life for this, he will not hesitate to do so, Xiaguan will never want to work as a civil official for his life." ”

Yue Fei smiled: "A civil official like you is really rare, although the Great Song Dynasty is now said to be civil and military without distinction between dignity and inferiority, but Ben Shuai can also see that those civil officials who were born in Jinshi still more or less look down on Ben Shuai, these warriors who have no merit, like you, who say that the literati are very incompetent, there are really not many, the literati are by no means a life that can be summarized, marching and fighting, fighting on the battlefield, if there is no literati to provide food and grass baggage, we are really helpless!" ”

Zhang Jun said: "The lower officials understand these truths, but the lower officials still expect a bloody battle, which will live up to the true character of the lower officials!" ”

Yue Fei looked at Zhang Jun's eyes and became very appreciative: "You can say this, even if you are a civil official, even if you can't do anything, I think you have this heart, it's enough, as for what you want to do, Ben Shuai will write a letter for you and submit it to Your Majesty, let Your Majesty decide, since you have such a heart to serve the country, Ben Shuai will not let it go to waste." ”

Zhang Jun was obviously excited: "Thank you Yue Shuai for success!" ”

Yue Fei waved his hand, and just as he was about to say something, Yue Fei's voice came: "Brother? Deyuan? What are you doing here? ”

As soon as Yue Fei turned around, he saw Yue Fan who was riding a horse back, so he pointed at Zhang Jun: "It just so happens that Yue Xianggong is also back, Peng Zhan, there is something you can do to help Deyuan, how about it?" ”

Yue turned over and dismounted, came to Zhang Jun, and asked with a smile: "I just saw that you were chatting happily, what is the matter, and you want Deyuan to come to me?" ”

Yue Fei smiled: "It's not to look for you, it's to find me." ”

Yue Chuan was a little puzzled: "Deyuan Yijie Wenchen, what are you looking for your brother to do?" ”

Yue Fei didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun replied: "Xiaguan is here for the oath he made three years ago when he witnessed the bloody battle of Tokyo City, at that time, Xiaguan made an oath that in this life and this life, if he can't level the Jurchens, he will die without a place to be buried, and he will not be allowed to enter the ancestral tomb and ancestral shrine as a punishment, but in the next few years, Xiaguan has been mediocre as a civil official, and he doesn't know when the oath will be completed, and he has no half experience, so he is afraid of missing a big event.

This time Yue Shuai expedition to the northwest, Xia Guan thought to himself, if you can go with the army to experience, it must be a good thing for the future, so this is to ask Yue Shuai to take the lower and lower officials to the northwest together, one can accumulate experience, and the other can also be beneficial to everything in the future, although in the next is a shallow study, but still hope to be able to go with the army, but also hope that Yue Xiang Yue Shuai will be successful! ”

Yue Fan and Yue Fei glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled.

A few years ago, Yue Pan saw Zhang Jun's busy appearance, and really thought that he would live as a civil official for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that he still remembered his oath, remembered what he had said, and what he wanted to live for.

This is good.

In another time and space, Zhang Jun has no military experience, and in the first battle, he commanded the Battle of Fuping, the decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of people, but handed over to a person with no military experience to command, it will definitely not work, and this time, Yue Fei took Zhang Jun with him, let Zhang Jun hone it well, Zhang Jun is by no means a military mediocre talent, and he can be regarded as a person with certain military talent.

There is a good saying, you are born a famous general, you don't need to read more military books.

Zhang Jun is not a natural general, so he needs to read military books, but after going to the battlefield, who knows?

Yue smiled and patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder, and said: "Deyuan, you have this heart, I am very happy, I will report this matter to Your Majesty for you, but you also know that if you want to go with the army, either as a privy council officer, as the secretary of the army marching and other positions, or you will be transformed into a military attaché and go with the army as a military attaché, which way are you willing to choose?" ”

Zhang Jun had no doubts: "Xia Guan is willing to transfer to a military attache and fight for a lifetime as a military attaché." ”

He should have made a decision before he came, and it is estimated that he has been at war with heaven and man in the past three years, and he has probably made a considerable determination to make such a decision, which Yue Chuan knows very well.

So, Yue Fan nodded and said to Zhang Jun: "Okay, don't worry about this matter, I will facilitate this trip for you, how about it, do you want to go to the mansion for a light meal?" Tonight is a send-off meal for my brother, I cook and cook a delicious meal for my brother, can Deyuan be interested in trying my craft? ”

Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Yue Fei said with a smile: "Peng Zhan's craftsmanship is not ordinary, it is estimated that the craftsmanship of the imperial chef in the palace is not as good as Peng Zhan's, so I can't forget the first time, I want to taste the second and third time, but unfortunately Peng Zhan is busy with official business, if it weren't for this time I went to the northwest, Peng Zhan still didn't have time to go home to cook." ”

Zhang Jun finally reacted and said in surprise: "Xianggong Yue cooks himself? This, this...... It's really ......."

"Doesn't it make sense, does it?" Yue asked with a smile, looking at Zhang Jun's somewhat flushed face, and said with a smile: "Unreasonable things, there are more in this world, if you think like this about everything, you will be annoyed to death, cooking a meal for your family is not an unreasonable thing, and men may not be able to go to the kitchen, even if I am the deputy minister, I am also a person, why not?"

Don't care too much about those worldly red tapes, if you abide by each one, then you don't know what to worry about, the current Great Song Dynasty, but it's not time to abide by the red tape, so ah, you can relax, come on, come to the house for a light meal, it is considered a grand deed for you!
