Chapter 90: Zhang Bangchang kills two birds with one stone, and Zong stays behind to test Zhang Bao

It is said that Uncle Zhang went out of the city at night and knelt down to welcome Jin Wushu into the city, and Jin Wushu couldn't believe it.

"Strategist, do you think this person is a annihilator or a loyal minister?" Jin Wushu asked Ha Mi.

"Wechen heard that Uncle Zhang is a loyal minister." Ha Mi Chi said.

"Since he is a loyal minister, why did he surrender to this king? There must be fraud in it. Wait until the king asks him why. Jin Wushu stepped forward and asked, "You are Uncle Zhang?" This king heard that Zhang Shuye was a loyal minister, why did he surrender to this king? You're teasing the king! ”

"How dare the villain tease the wolf master. It's just because the Great Song Dynasty is in charge now, and the loyal ministers are gone. Lu'an Prefecture and the Two Wolf Pass are still lost, and the villain is only a Hejian Mansion, with few soldiers, how dare they compete with it? Besides, if you break through the city, the people of Li will surely be poisoned. Uncle Zhang didn't dare to covet the title of official, he only hoped that you could protect the lives of the people of Hejian Prefecture, and it was worth dying. Uncle Zhang told the truth at night.

Jin Wushu sighed when he heard this: "What a great loyal minister, for the sake of the people of the city, he is willing to surrender and be scolded by the world." It's admirable. ”

"Zhang is just for the people of the city, what is personal honor and disgrace." Uncle Zhang said.

"Zhang Jiedu, you know the time, you are kind-hearted, and you are a good official. This king has fulfilled you, named you the king of Lu, and is still stationed in Hejian Mansion. Our army will only accept your reward, and go round the city, and not let it go into the city to disturb the people. Jin Wushu said.

"Thank you for the generosity and kindness of the wolf lord, Zhang must lead the people of the city to kill pigs and sheep, and eat pot pulp to reward the army." Uncle Zhang said.

"Herald - the order is given, all troops are not allowed to enter the city and disturb the people, and if they disobey, they will be killed." The golden vulture gave the order, and the herald agreed to convey it in turn.

Zhang Shuye and the others retired and returned to the city to prepare the rewarded cattle and sheep wine and rice.

The Jin soldiers camped outside the city, and Uncle Zhang sent the rewarded wine and food dishes out of the city at night, and the Jin soldiers had a full meal. There was nothing to say all night, and the next day dawned, the army really passed around the city.

The Jin soldiers marched south, all the way like a bamboo, this day came to the bank of the Yellow River, because the river was turbulent, could not cross the river, had to set up camp by the Yellow River, recruit carpenters, and catch up with the boats. Press not table.

Besides, when the Jin soldiers arrived at the Yellow River, there were already spies flying to the imperial court.

When Song Qinzong heard this, he was sincerely frightened, and immediately came to the court and convened hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Wanyan Wushu, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, led an army of 500,000 to invade our Great Song Dynasty, and it was only three months since the army was dispatched, Lu'an Prefecture was broken, and Lu Deng and his wife were martyred; The two wolf passes were lost, and Han Shizhong and his wife went into exile; Zhang Shuye of Hejian Mansion has surrendered to Fanbang again, and now the Jin soldiers have arrived at the Yellow River and are building boats to prepare to cross the river. If the Yellow River is crossed, then Bianjing will be in danger. Ladies and gentlemen, if there is any strategy to break the enemy, play it quickly. ”

The civil and military officials above the court, you look at me, I look at you, and no one has a way to retreat from the enemy.

"What's wrong with you guys today? All dumb? The fire burned your eyebrows, and you guys were indifferent one by one? The court raised you just to solve my problems. Now, I am in trouble, but none of you have stepped forward to offer advice. In this way, what is the use of the court raising you? Emperor Qinzong couldn't sit still, he said with a straight face.

Zhang Bangchang secretly glanced at Li Gang and Zong Ze, and when he saw their anxious looks, his heart blossomed.

"Li Gang and Zong Ze, two old boys, have been working against the old man, why don't I take this opportunity to get rid of the two of them. The golden soldiers are 500,000 horses, and the momentum is like a rainbow, forgive the two of them are not the opponents of the golden vultures. Besides, Li Gang can only dance and ink, and he has no power to restrain the chicken; Zong Ze is already old, has the heart to protect the country, and has no power to return to heaven. Why don't I ask the emperor to raise the two of them to meet the enemy? If they lose, they will either die on the battlefield or be cut to the people; If they win, the old man will sponsor him, and he will naturally follow him. Why wouldn't the old man do this with one stone? When Zhang Bangchang thought of this, he was naturally happy in his heart.

"Your Majesty, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there are only two people who can be this person. One is the counselor Li Gang Li, and the other is the sect left-behind. Master Li is resourceful, and Zong stays behind to fight bravely, as long as the two of them go out together, great things can be accomplished, and the Jin soldiers will be defeated. Zhang Bangchang came out of the class and said.

Zhang Aiqing is reasonable. Li Gang and Zong Ze listened to the order. Li Gang was resourceful and strategic, and Zong Ze was brave and good at fighting, galloping across the field. I specially appointed Li Gang as the generalissimo of the conquest, and Zong Ze as the vanguard, leading 50,000 troops to the Yellow River to retreat from the enemy, and there must be no mistake. Song Qinzong said, got up and retreated.

Li Gang wanted to say a few more words, but Qinzong had already left.

"Let's go, this is Zhang Bangchang's plan to kill two birds with one stone, the emperor favors him, the will has been made, there is no change, and it is useless to excuse himself. Let everything be done and let the destiny of heaven be. Zong Ze said with a wry smile.

It is said that Li Gang returned home and was depressed.

"Master, you came back from the next court today, and you kept sighing, what the hell is going on?" Madame asked with concern.

"Zhang Bangchang, this old thief, recommended me to the emperor in the court today to go to the Yellow River to meet the enemy as the generalissimo. You think, the golden army is 500,000 horses, and I only lead 50,000 horses. Defending against 500,000 horses with 50,000 horses is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. This is clearly to put the old man to death and then quickly. ”

When Madame heard this, she was naturally worried.

At this moment, the propaganda official suddenly came to report: There is a big man named Zhang Bao who is waiting to see the master outside the door.

When Li Gang heard this, he immediately ordered the propaganda officer to bring Zhang Bao in.

After Zhang Bao came in, he saw the marshal, and Li Gang looked at it, and he was really tall and mighty, and his demeanor was extraordinary.

"You are Zhang Bao? Where have you always lived? Why do you want to see this officer? Li Gang asked.

Zhang Bao listened, knelt down and said: "My lord, the grass people have always been doing business outside, and I heard that the master was going to recruit soldiers, so he came to defect. ”

"What are you capable of?" Li Gang then asked.

"The grass people don't have any great skills, they just have some strength. The grass people walk a long way, and they can pick up five or six hundred catties of things without feeling tired. Zhang Bao said.

When Li Gang heard this, he was full of joy.

"Master, I think this young man is good, let him stay with you and take care of it." Madame said.

"Madame is very right. Zhang Bao, you can set off with this official. If you make meritorious achievements in the future, you will be rewarded. Li Gang said.

"Thank you, Marshal." Zhang Baoxin readily agreed.

Early the next morning, Zong Ze came to the marshal's mansion to ask the marshal to raise troops. Li Gang led Zong Ze into the house and said, "Old Yuanrong, Zhang Bangchang, this annihilator, clearly wants to put us to death, so he will protect the two of us to the emperor. Now the arrow has to be sent, the old man is a civil official, and he has to rely on Lao Yuanrong to work hard in the future, and the old man's life depends on Lao Yuanrong's thoughtfulness. ”

"Marshal, please rest assured, Jiren has his own nature. I have already repaired a book and sent someone to Tangyin County to ask the Yue Fei brothers to come and help. Yue Fei's Wen Taowu is slightly above you and me, if he can get out of the mountain, we still have a chance to win. Zong Ze said.

"That's very good. Old Yuanrong, I also have a hero here, his name is Zhang Bao, tall and mighty, and his demeanor is extraordinary. According to him, he doesn't feel tired of walking a long way to pick five or six hundred pounds. I think he should have some skills. Li Gang said. When Zong Ze heard this, he was overjoyed.

"This is the blessing of the society, pass him over, the old man wants to see how this person is?" Zong Ze said.

Li Gang ordered someone to call Zhang Bao over.

After a while, Zhang Bao came and said politely: "Zhang Bao has seen the two adults, I don't know why the two adults called the grass people over?" ”

"Zhang Bao, I heard the marshal say that you have some skills, I don't know if it's true or not?" Zong Ze asked straight to the point.

"The marshal has won the award, Zhang Bao is just a little brute force." Zhang Bao smiled indifferently and said.

"In that case, then the official will test you, the stone lion at the door weighs seven or eight hundred pounds, can you carry it?" Zong Ze pointed to the stone lion at the gate of the Li Mansion and said.

"Give it a try!" Zhang Bao walked over, stood firm on the stake, exerted all his strength, picked up the stone lion with both hands, shouted "up", and hugged it, and then held the stone lion base with one hand, the lion's head with the other, held the stake, and then raised the stone lion above his head with a shout of "up". I turned around in place and calmly put it down.

"Good! Sure enough, it's a lot of strength. I wonder what kind of weapon a strong man will make? Zong Ze asked tentatively.

"Swords and clubs, everything. It's just not very skilled. Zhang Bao said.

Zong Ze also sent someone to fetch the iron rod from his armory, which was more than 100 catties.

Zhang Bao took it in his hand and played it.

Zong Ze and Li Gang were full of praise when they saw it, and the soldiers present couldn't help but applaud.

"Marshal, with these heroes to help, you put your heart in your stomach." Zong Ze said.

"I wish the sky had eyes—" Li Gang looked up at Haotian and said leisurely.
