Chapter 401: Take That Path
"Zhang Jun, are you guilty?"
"Wechen is guilty!"
"Where is the sin?" Zhao Pu asked.
Zhang Jun said: "Fuping was defeated, hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, the situation in the northwest was out of control, and the crime of Weichen was extremely great!" ”
"Defeat is nothing. As long as it is a war, as long as it is a battle on the battlefield, no one can guarantee victory in a hundred battles. Lose one or two games, normal event. Zhao Pu said calmly, with an indescribable calmness in his expression.
It's just that this kind of calmness fell in Zhang Jun's eyes, but he was shocked, and he couldn't help but say: "The defeat of Fuping, the situation collapsed, lost Guanzhong, and almost let the Jin army invade Sichuan, almost causing a catastrophe, and Weichen is guilty!" “
Zhao Pu still said: "Li Gang went out to Hedong, but hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated, lost Taiyuan, and lost Hedong; Later, it was to defend Shandong, and in less than two months, the whole territory fell; And when Zhang Suo guarded Bianliang, he also lost Bianliang; Later, Zhao Ding guarded Jiangnan, and the result was also a mess. When it comes to fighting, literati are really not good, if they lose, they lose, and I can afford to lose. Do you know where the sin is? ”
Zhang Jun was speechless, originally thinking that the emperor would be defeated by Fuping, and blamed him.
But the emperor let it go lightly, and it seemed that he really didn't care about it. It's just that the more the emperor is like this, the heavier Zhang Jun's mind becomes.
"The defeat of Fuping, Weichen is guilty; But the other, I don't know where the sin is? Zhang Jun said.
"I don't know where the sin is, then I'll dial you!" Zhao Pu smiled, his tone was a little cold, "After the defeat in Fuping, the Northwest Army is panicked and unstable, and it is most necessary to calm people's hearts at this moment." But you made a lot of stupid moves, first degraded Liu Xi for the crime of defeating the army, and beheaded Zhao Zhe and his generals Zhang Zhong and Qiao Ze. A series of slashing operations frightened many people in the Northwest Army. As a result, Murong Tao, the general of Huanqing Road, defected to Western Xia, and Zhang Zhongyan and Li Yanqi, generals of Jingyuan Road, defected to the Jin army. If you hadn't mishandled the situation and killed people indiscriminately, would it have led to the collapse of the situation, and you are guilty? ”
Battle of Pupyeong. If you lose, you will be defeated, and who can not defeat the battle; The mistake is the mistake, after the defeat. The chaos cut people, causing the original chaotic situation to become even more chaotic, and the Northwest Army almost collapsed.
Zhang Jun's expression was in the middle. There was a flash of stubbornness. He said in a hard voice: "Weichen is the commander of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and is responsible for the military affairs of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and these generals are either afraid of the enemy, or do not listen to orders, or disobey the yin and yang, shouldn't they be killed?" ”
As he spoke, Zhang Jun's face was full of grievances. He looked a little excited.
"The Western Army, in the late stages of our dynasty. It was the strongest army of the Song army, and after Emperor Huizong ascended the throne, the strength of the western army was greatly expanded. It's just that the Western Army has always had many factions, and there are many contradictions and fights between various factions. ”
After Weichen arrived in the northwest, he commanded the entire Western Army, which seemed to be extremely powerful, but he was actually very aggrieved. These local snakes don't look down on Weichen as a scholar at all, and there are many things that violate yin and yang. And Qu Duan has resisted disrespect many times, and he doesn't put Weichen in his eyes at all. ”
"In the northwest, Weichen has always been in an embarrassing situation, and the only thing that can stand on him is righteousness. Weichen can only gain a foothold in the northwest by merging vertically and horizontally, dividing and disintegrating. It's just that this control is fragile, and a big defeat collapses. ”
After the defeat, the world accused Weichen of using troops to advance rashly, and he was ambitious and talented, but he didn't know if it weren't for these Western armies, in the decisive battle, they were still intriguing and calculating each other, where would there be a defeat in Fuping! They deserve to die, it's not a pity to die! ”
Zhang Jun said, his expression was angry, and at this moment, he couldn't take too much care of it.
Alas! Zhao Pu sighed in his heart, scholars kill people, pay attention to spirit first, and everything else is discarded.
"It is my sin to send you to the northwest. In the northwest, since the beginning of our dynasty, the military system has been chaotic, and most of them are on the front line, resulting in many factions in the army, and various factions are intrigued, calculating with each other, not cooperating in times of trouble, and tearing each other down. In the bloody battle of Liaodong that year, the western army led by the general of the division was annihilated by the Jin army. And now, the battle of Fuping is repeating the mistakes of the past again! ”
Zhao Pu flashed a trace of hatred, and said coldly: "This Northern Expedition, why do I want the Western Route Army to defend first. It is to see that the factions of the Western Army are fighting fiercely, one Western Sergeant is a dragon, ten Western Sergeant is ten snakes, and a hundred Western Sergeant is all a hundred worms! ”
"When the Western Army fights, the more soldiers and horses gather, the more powerful the factional battles, the easier it is to do bad things, and the easier it is to defeat the battle; But if there are few soldiers and horses, and the township party is the mainstay, the brothers who fight in the war, and the father and son soldiers go into battle, it is easy to win. The Battle of Fuping, which gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, why was it so badly defeated; And the monk was originally just a lonely city, with only a few thousand soldiers, why did he win the last victory! You've been in the Northwest for a few years, and you don't even know this truth? Are you not guilty?"
Zhang Jun listened, his expression was gloomy, it is true, more people is a bad thing, and fewer people are a success.
The bystander is clear, and he is in the game, but he is confused. He is in the Western Army, but he doesn't even know this basic truth, how can he not be defeated! Thinking of this, he said: "Weichen is guilty!" ”
Zhao Pu snorted coldly: "This victory is not a big one, but you have to fight." Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. The other Song armies have all won one after another, and you can't sit still. wanted to make an immortal achievement, so the Battle of Fuping was launched, and as for how big the chance of victory was, you ignored it. ”
"In your opinion, you are the reincarnation of Zhuge Wuhou, the reincarnation of Bai Qi, and you are destined to establish immortality; And those soldiers are just stepping stones for you to make achievements. The grass people and the grass people, their lives are like grass mustard, and if they die, they will die in vain, and the soldiers of the Song Army are just one-time consumables, just cheap materials on the battlefield! ”
"So, you launched the Battle of Fuping, and in your opinion, if you win, it is an immortal achievement; If it is defeated, it will only be exile, dormant for a few years, and then reactivated. Li Gang is like this, Zhao Ding is like this, and so are you! In that case, why not spell it out? ”
"And after losing, you became angry and slashed a large piece of the piece, and it seems to you that you have to pull a group of backs when you are dying, am I right?"
Zhao Pu continued to question, his tone was cold, and he did not leave a trace of emotion.
It is true that there is no trace of mercy, Zhang Jun has gone too far, those generals of the Western Army have mistakes, but Zhang Jun also has mistakes.
For his own selfishness, Zhang Jun put the safety of the northwest and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the northwest out of the way. This kind of goods, killed a hundred times, do not hesitate, but unfortunately kill a hundred times, those dead soldiers will not come back.
Listening to the emperor's heart-wrenching words, Zhang Jun was frightened, embarrassed, and embarrassed, and some of the emperor's words were said to the bottom of his heart.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is wronged!"
"You've wronged a fart!" Zhao Pu was angry, Yaya, she didn't admit it at this moment, she raised her foot, and she was going to kick it.
But after thinking about it, forget it!
A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated.
Readers, the most cautious eye.
For the cautious eye, too lazy to kick it.
Seeing that the emperor was about to kick when he raised his foot, Zhang Jun's expression changed, but he didn't expect the emperor to stop and didn't kick out that kick.
"Could it be that I have wronged you?" Zhao Pu's face was calm again, and he couldn't see a trace of anger.
But it was precisely because he was not angry that Zhang Jun was shocked.
"Your Majesty's ......"
"I won't talk about the past, I just hope you remember and cherish the lives of soldiers!" Zhao Pu said quietly, "Now, you have three choices? ”
Zhang Jun asked, "Your Majesty, what are the three choices?" ”
"The first way, I will demote you to exile, stay out of the limelight for a while, and then recall you back after a few years; It's just that at that time, you can't be contaminated with military affairs for the rest of your life, I can't afford to lose, and if you fight a few more battles of Fuping, you will lose all your money! ”
"The second way, I will let you rest for a while, and after the rumors have passed, you will enter the cabinet. There are more and more twists and turns, and the cabinet needs capable people to share the burden for me! ”
Zhao Pu said calmly.
"Article 3, completely give up the identity of a literati, enter the military academy to study, and then take charge of the army in the future, the battle of Song and Jin has just begun!"
Three choices, three paths.
First, temporarily avoid the wind, re-enter the court, and hold important civil positions;
The second article is similar, but the status of the cabinet is low, and the cabinet bachelors are only five grades, and they are more to assist the emperor in handling government affairs, and they have little power;
The third is to completely enter the sequence of military generals and completely decouple from the literati.
Faced with three choices, Zhang Jun was at a loss for a while. (To be continued......)
