"Oh, Zhang Gong's loyalty is commendable."

Zhang Jun's belly is full of worries, Zhang Xiaochun and this Li Xianzhong are full of loyalty, and they took risks to help Song Jun, but he was just perfunctory. He frowned, stood up and wandered around the room, looking at Li Xianzhong while thinking nervously in his mind.

If things are really as Li Xianzhong said, not only can Taiyuan not be easily taken, but will have a bloody battle with the Jin soldiers who fled from Pingyang and are bent on guarding Taiyuan to wait for rescue.

Do you urgently march now to block the enemy outside Taiyuan City, or wait for them to escape into Taiyuan City and catch turtles in an urn?

Zhang Jun thought about it for a while, but he felt that his forehead was hot, but he still didn't know the point.

He sighed in his heart that he was really unlucky. Originally, it was said to avoid a strong enemy, hit Taiyuan City like a bamboo, and take down this strategically important Sanjin City in one fell swoop, and easily picked up a big achievement. Unexpectedly, the situation changed so quickly, and the Jin soldiers not only could not hold out in Pingyang, but also had to give up all areas except Taiyuan, concentrate their forces to defend Taiyuan, and wait for Zongbi on the south bank of the Luohuang River to send troops to help. As a military general, but also have to admire the strength of the other party's strong man with a broken arm, if he holds the idea of defending the whole territory of Hedong, then the army will definitely die and the whole territory will be lost, according to the development of the state at this time, the main force of the enemy army fled to Taiyuan together, according to the danger to defend, waiting for reinforcements, then the overall situation may not be able to evolve as the Song army's plan.

When Zhang Jun thought of this, he already had a plan in his heart. Turned around and sat down, his face had calmed down, and he only praised Li Xianzhong for two more words, seeing that the other party's face showed an anxious look, but he smiled secretly in his heart, although the other party looked calm and moderate, he was actually still young and couldn't hold his breath.

Sure enough, as he expected, Li Xianzhong saw that he couldn't speak properly, so he couldn't hold back at the moment, and asked Zhang Jun: "What is the plan of the handsome?" It was a detour to the Weisheng Army to stop the main force of the Golden Dog from returning to Taiyuan. Or do you want to attack quickly and take Taiyuan before the enemy rushes back? ”

Zhang Jun's face was gloomy, and he asked him in a suppressed voice: "When you came, how many Jurchen soldiers were there in Taiyuan City, and how many could Governor Zhang have in his hands?" ”

"There are about 4,000 Jurchen soldiers, which are a small number of restrained soldiers and horses who originally stayed in Taiyuan, plus the border patrol cavalry urgently transferred from the clouds. Those restrained soldiers and horses, the patrol cavalry is very elite, and it is set up to defend the remnants of the Khitan of the Liao State, which should not be underestimated. As for the Han army in the hands of the prefect, there are not many people, only one or two hundred, and the lord said, there are not many soldiers and nobles, and this group of soldiers and horses are all dead soldiers, and they are extremely loyal to the Great Song Dynasty. If only they could open a gate in the city. No matter how elite the Jurchen soldiers in the city are, more than 20,000 elite soldiers will pour into the city, and the enemy will just be a dead word. ”

Zhang Junyuan also had some thoughts. At this time, he felt that there were thousands of dangers, and it was very irrelevant to him whether Zhang Xiaochun's soldiers and horses in the city were dead or alive, but the main force of the Pingyang Jin soldiers rushed back day and night, and they could arrive at any time, and the deception of the city was also very dangerous, and it was impossible to let the Han army in the city open the city gate, even if it could open a city gate, it was impossible for the Song army to attack in a hurry, and when it was crowded, two thousand elite Jurchen cavalry rushed over. Cut off the inside and outside, then the outside can not enter, the attack must be wrapped dumplings, when the time comes, not only can not make a great achievement, the original siege of the city and the merit and reputation obtained, but also bound to be scattered in two, the wind blows, a clean. That's fine, if anyone is held accountable. He turned over the old account that he was not able to rescue Chang'an, and he was the henchman of the dead ghost King Kang, and the official family originally had a mustard in his heart, and several things broke out, and he was afraid that he would have to spend his life to finish it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jun shuddered, and couldn't help glaring at Li Xianzhong and reprimanded: "This is just nonsense, it's too dangerous, this handsome and upright division, even if the main force of the enemy is gathered, what is the difficulty of taking Taiyuan, why is it necessary to take such a risk." ”

"This?"

Li Xianzhong was dumbfounded, and the traffic in the city made the Song generals in the city sacrifice the city is him, and at this time he turned his mouth and said that he disdained it, and he was also the general in front of him, the head of the first army.

It's really faster to turn your face than to turn a book, but it teaches this young party nobleman to have a psychedelic feeling like a fallen dream.

Looking at Zhang Jun with a straight face and continued to talk about the benefits and disadvantages, although the art of war is in harmony with each other, but when the strength hangs in the balance, it is enough to defeat the enemy with a dignified and upright army, there is no need to take risks, and the enemy is about to be defeated, so why bother to mobilize the army and rush to block it overnight, if it is better to wait for the enemy to flee to Taiyuan, surround it on all sides, and capture it with one drum.

Li Xianzhong was disgusted, watching Zhang Jun's upper and lower lips fly, and the original single-minded respect had long since disappeared. Zhang Jun thought he was young and naïve, but in fact, it was also an illusion. Li Xianzhong was just too eager to return to the Song Dynasty and didn't want to serve in the hands of the Jin people, and his matter was already at stake, so he was tempted by Zhang Jun. At this time, I knew that the other party's rumors were true, it turned out to be a villain who only knew how to fight for merit and did not know the righteousness, at this time, he was just sitting back and watching Taiyuan ignore it, and then waiting for the emperor to decide, or several ways of the Song army to attack, or even retreated, anyway, he did not need to be responsible for the risk, whether the overall situation is corrupt or not, but it has nothing to do with him.

After he scolded the villain hundreds of times in his heart, Zhang Jun finally shut up, his face was full of exhaustion, he picked up the tea bowl and poured a few sips, and then said casually to Li Xianzhong: "General Li, don't go back to Taiyuan, the soldiers are connected with the jade, and you will serve in our army, how about it?" ”

After that, he looked at Li Xianzhong with eager eyes, waiting for his reply.

Li Xianzhong sneered in his heart, knowing that the other party did not fancy his talent and needed him to serve in the army, but took a fancy to his family background, and after being pulled under his command, he added a lot of bargaining chips to Zhang Jun's hands.

On his face, he was still respectful, stood up beautifully, and then calmly replied to Zhang Jun: "The last general is here by order, so naturally he wants to go back to restore his life." In the future, Dashuai will take Taiyuan, and it is not too late to mention this. ”

"Okay, then when we meet in Taiyuan City in the future, the general must not refrain from refusing."

Zhang Jun played a few haha, knowing that the other party was unwilling to play for him, so he just stopped. After explaining the matter, it was late at night, Zhang Jun and the others were extremely tired, but they cheered up and ordered their soldiers to take Li Xianzhong down to rest.

"No need, the last general rushed back to the city overnight to prevent the Jurchens in the city from being suspicious."

Li Xianzhong hurriedly excused himself and ran back and forth overnight, but he didn't think it was a hard job. Just looked at Zhang Jun and the generals in the tent, and did not focus on the front-line war, after listening to the enemy's situation, he had no spirit at all, one by one crooked nose and squinted eyes, blowing the sky, the military situation was so urgent, the main general was only dedicated to his own selfish interests, and even the generals under his command were also completely spiritless.

Li Xianzhong was resentful in his heart, but he refused to abolish the public for personal reasons, and when he was leaving, he said to Zhang Jun very earnestly: "The last general reminded the marshal that he did not move at this time, and in the future, the Jin soldiers would cross the river from the direction of Luoyang and attack Pingyang, so that our army could not take care of each other, and at that time, it would be very dangerous to clean up the entire territory of Hedong." Again, Lin, Fu, Feng three states of the guard will be able to ask, there are more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command, ordered to defend the land, threatening Yan'an, Jinning army and other places, and did not go out to attack Chang'an, if the golden dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, gave up the three states, and transferred the family army to aid Taiyuan, then the battle of Taiyuan is bound to drag on for time, and there are many variables. For the sake of His Majesty and the society, please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

He said that his mouth was dry and irritable, but Zhang Jun was bent on preserving his strength, and he didn't care about anything else, although he nodded frequently at his words, there were two clear words on his face: perfunctory.

Li Xianzhong sighed helplessly, so he had to clench his fists and resign, and when he got outside, the cold wind was blowing on his face and the cold air was biting, but he only felt that his spirit was lifted, and he only felt that the stuffiness in his heart was swept away.

He didn't care about Zhang Jun, he only vaguely felt that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty must still have Yingxuan, and he only needed to return to Taiyuan and help Zhang Xiaochun and others to move.

Thinking of this, his mind suddenly opened up, turned over and got on his horse, and saw that the soldiers of the Song Army on duty at night opened the camp gate under the reprimand of the commander, and his mount was a good horse of the Xia people's Hetao, knowing that the master was about to set off, he couldn't help but scream, raised his hooves and jumped small, just waiting for Li Xianzhong to release the reins of the horse.

"Don't worry, there will be a time for you to exert your power in the future."

Li Xianzhong patted his foal lovingly, and his heart was full of pride, no matter what, how could the eldest husband break his eyebrows and bend his waist to be barbaric, with his talent, after returning to the Great Song Dynasty, Fengyun Ji will be angry with his husband, and immediately win fame, and let those who only see his family background know that he is a man of great heart.

When the camp gate opened, he flicked a whip, and the long-awaited war horse jumped proudly, and after a few steps, it was already galloping at full speed, and the horse's hooves were obtained, and in a moment, it was already far away.

When Li Xianzhong and a dozen of his own soldiers were far away, the middle officer ordered the camp gate to be closed, and the officer on duty at night took the non-commissioned officers to inspect the good life, and went back to Zhang Jun's tent to resume his life.

When Zhang Jun saw him coming back, his reclining body did not move at all, and asked casually, "Then Li is gone?" What else is there to say? ”

"Back to Dashuai, I didn't have anything to say, just before leaving, I said that I would see him on the battlefield in the future and see how he slaughtered the golden dog."

"Hey, the kid has eaten a few bowls of rice, so arrogant."

Zhang Jun smiled and shook his head again and again.

The rest of them also got together and ridiculed Li Xianzhong for being too arrogant. Others accuse him of making no sense and completely nonsense in his analysis of the overall situation.

Zhang Jun shook his head and said: "Not really, before he left the account, what he said was right." Whether it is the Zhejia family or the enemy near Luoyang, it is very bad if they really act like this. ”

Speaking of this, his heart suddenly moved, but he remembered something.

Huo Ran got up, stared at his henchmen to join the army, and ordered him word by word: "Pass my general's order, Yao Duan's department, after defeating Han Changhan's army, go to attack Linzhou, be sure to defeat and recover, Lin, Fu, and Fengzhou." ”

The soldier was startled, and subconsciously replied to him: "Marshal, General Yao is also acting on the holy order, Dashuai is afraid that he will give such an order, okay?" ”

Zhang Jun sneered: "What's wrong? I am still the commander of the Fifth Army, he is still my subordinate, the Zhe family will rush to Taiyuan, and he will definitely increase the help of defending the city, let him attack, what's wrong? You come to write, what's wrong, I'll take it for granted! ”
