Yu Yunwen is not good at this. Hearing this, he drank a little. He choked out.

It turned out that this Meishou was a rare soju at that time, and the high-purity rice wine after a few steaming and brewing, although it was a real soju, it was also full of strength, which made it difficult for those who were not good at drinking it to bear.

Yao Pingzhong laughed when he saw this, and ordered someone to change the ordinary rice wine and let Yu Yunwen accompany the meal.

The two chatted and drank, although they couldn't go upstairs to watch the scenery, the surrounding area was bustling, but they were also very happy.

Most of the people around are ordinary citizens, eating, drinking and chatting, which is just market slang, and occasionally talking about the overall situation of the present day is also funny and absurd, and it is not meaningful.

Yao Yu and the others listened for a while, and then felt bored and bored, and were about to eat and drink with their heads bored, and after a while, they saw several officers go straight in, not far from them, and sat down.

The first officer with four silver moons on his shoulder straps, Yao Yu and the others knew that it was the emperor's military rank reform that was gradually pushed forward, not only the forbidden army in Chang'an Sanyashang had already been restructured, but even the garrisons in various places also began to wear the badges of this kind of military rank, with gold stars, silver moons, bronze days and shoulders to mark the rank of generals and middle and lower-level officials, and even the rank of soldiers.

The two of them had already discussed, and they both felt that it was a genius idea, so that not only would the army be clearly divided from top to bottom, and the situation would be chaotic during the battle, but it would also allow the soldiers to obey the command of the senior officers nearby.

At the same time as the invention of this rank symbol, it was forbidden to tattoo the face or body of newly recruited soldiers, and this kind of insult to the personality of soldiers that began after five generations was prohibited, which greatly boosted the morale of the army.

After the group of officers took their seats, they did not shout like ordinary soldiers, but just ordered wine and food, and drank and chatted with themselves.

This chat. Yao Yu and the others only knew that they were middle- and high-ranking officers who were drawn from all over the park and were very prestigious and prestigious everywhere, or came to Chang'an for business or to report on their work, because the Western Army had recruited many recruits, and the officers were in short supply. He was ordered by the privy government to stay in Shaanxi and serve in the army.

They could not directly command the troops of the Western Army, they were not native to Shaanxi, and they had led troops here, so it was difficult to convince the soldiers and junior officers.

And Zhao Huan also had a plan, not ready to adopt the old system, let many literati participate in the shogunate of high-ranking officers, and become a witty writer and senator, after hearing that many officers were transferred. It was decided to adopt a staff officer system, and many military officers and senators were stationed at the first level of rule and above, and although they were not qualified, after the system was formed, they could naturally be trained by specialized schools, and then a staff officer system would be formed.

The reason why Prussia became a military power in Europe was the degree of training of its soldiers and the best staff officer system at that time. It's the cause.

These soldiers in front of him arrived in Chang'an a little late, so the cardinal government simply made a wave of them and transferred them to Zhang Jun's command. Served as his staff officer.

Because of the restrictions of military regulations, these officers only chatted a few words, and then refused to mention military affairs, and after complimenting each other a few words, they began to chat casually, and even talked about Fengyue.

The true character of a man, when mentioning these things, is the most energetic.

As the officers talked, they looked at the prostitutes in the shop.

High-class prostitutes naturally do not haunt restaurants. The prostitutes who sat on a bench on one side of the lobby were still in good shape. That's right, it's the pomp of this Fengle Building, but it can't be on the stage. Obviously, he just sold his body, he didn't know poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and when he looked at it, his eyebrows and eyes were vulgar.

Yao Pingzhong followed them for a few words, and then scolded softly: "This group of little rabbit cubs is getting more and more useless. ”

He is a senior in the army, so he can naturally be scolded like this. Yu Yunwen was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he hurriedly stopped it with his eyes.

Yao Pingzhong understood, shook his head, and stopped talking.

The two were about to leave, but they heard a middle-aged officer open the topic and talk to everyone about the situation ahead.

Although it is inconvenient for them to discuss their own tasks and the details of the army, they are not shy about discussing the entire battlefield.

Because of the heat of what they said, not only Yao Yu and the others listened attentively, but also many diners in the restaurant also put down their chopsticks and listened attentively to the discussion of this group of soldiers.

Yao Pingzhong listened quietly for a moment, grinned, shook his head lightly at Yu Yunwen, and said with a smile: "They all say that they are talents, but in fact, they are also very knowledgeable." ”

He had just been warned by Yu Yunwen, so he lowered his voice to speak, and the group of soldiers was talking happily, but they didn't hear it. There was only one young officer with a gold star on his shoulder, who was originally absent-minded and looking left and right, but he listened to Yao Pingzhong's words truly.

was about to have a seizure on the spot, but seeing that Yao Yu and the others were extraordinary, when Ye pressed the fire in his heart, his heart moved, and he actually picked up a pot of wine and paced to the wine table.

While putting the wine jug down, he seemed to be smiling and looked at Yao Yu and the others.

Yao Pingzhong grinned, winked at Yu Yunwen, and then smiled at the young general: "What, what advice does the general have here?" ”

The general smiled, sat down with a golden sword, and arched his hand to the two of them: "Please ask the two of you for your name, so that you can have a title." ”

He was born with beautiful eyebrows and a fair face, if it weren't for a military general's robe, he would be a white-faced scholar who was alive and well. It's just a good face, but with the rudeness and straightforwardness of a martial artist, teaching people to see it, and they can't help but feel a little like killing the scenery.

Yu Yunwen was in front of Yao Pingzhong and replied first: "In Xia Yao Er, this is my brother Yao Da. ”

The military general smiled and sneered: "A pseudonym? But don't worry, just listen to your brother Yao Da said, we are all unreasonable, in the next Zhang Xian, specially come over to ask for advice. ”

"Zhang Xian?"

Both of them were in the limelight, and after half a ring, they remembered that the other party was a fierce general in Yue Fei's army, and in the battle against Liu Guangshi, he was in the limelight, but somehow, he also arrived in Chang'an and was about to be sent to serve in Zhang Jun's army.

Zhang Xian was personally sent by Yue Fei, nominally to Chang'an to present the recital, but in fact, Yue Fei was worried about the safety of Zhao Gou on the road, so he specially sent him to follow, so that he could help him in case of emergency.

Unexpectedly, Miao and Liu were brutal, and they were strong in broad daylight, and when Zhang Xian arrived, Zhao Gou had already lost his breath. Zhang Xian was furious. immediately wanted to fight with Miao Liu and the others, but was persuaded by his subordinates.

Because of this matter, when Zhang Xian arrived in Chang'an, he faced the saint and played the right face, and once failed to discuss it in front of the emperor, although the edict was not issued, he also served as a military general in the army. He asked the emperor to immediately execute Miao and Liu.

Zhao Huan knew that this person was a little reckless, and he didn't blame him, but he didn't let this person go back to Yue Fei's army for the time being, but let him serve in front of Zhang Jun's account, so that he could hone and hone more and have another appointment in the future.

Zhang Xian didn't know what the emperor meant, and although he didn't dare to complain about the emperor in his heart, he was also full of complaints. Coming to the restaurant with this group of officers also has the meaning of borrowing wine to kill sorrows. When everyone started to talk about some military affairs and enlightened their minds a little, but they heard people talking about their lack of righteousness and whether they were young and vigorous, they immediately came over with wine, and when the other party answered the slightest mistake, they immediately attacked.

How did you expect to come with pride? These two are very troublemakers, left and right, they are very polite, teaching him to be full of anger. It's just that the seizure doesn't come out.

The three of them were entangled together, and Zhang Xian knew that he was not an ordinary person, so he gradually calmed down.

He is young and vigorous, but he also has a benefit, that is, he is willing to humbly ask for advice, seeing that the two people in front of him are not ordinary, he immediately pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and after the atmosphere was a little harmonious, he asked sincerely: "Brother Yao, listen to what my brother said." Obviously, he has some experience and understanding of this war, and he is not talented. is also a general in the army, if my brother has any advice, please know everything, and say everything. ”

Seeing that he was so sincere, Yao Pingzhong glanced at the hall, and saw that everyone was gathered around the officers, listening to their nonsense, so he frowned and whispered, and said to Zhang Xian: "My two brothers, in the past few months, they have crossed the territory of Pseudo-Qi and Jinyuan from Jiangnan, and they also know a little about the situation of the other party. This time the Jin people invaded the west, and everyone said that Gong Ping was still not afraid, not to mention that the western army was stronger this time? In my humble opinion, the situation of this major war may not be optimistic, and we must even be prepared to lose the city and lose the land. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Xian was so moved that he almost stood up.

He barely suppressed his emotions and asked Yao Pingzhong, "How can you see it?" ”

"The proud army will be defeated!"

Yao Pingzhong paused word by word, completely unafraid of Zhang Xian's sharp eyes, and replied to him: "Although my Western Army has always been called the elite, in fact, compared with those uncivilized barbarians, what is it? First, he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and was sent straight to the three roads of Shaanxi by Wanyan Lou's room, and then relied on His Majesty's personal expedition to barely win the battle of Fuping, in fact, the enemy's main force was not damaged, and even the fur was not injured. Today's enemy is divided into several ways, the soldiers and horses sent have been requisitioned from the old land of Huanglong Mansion since the beginning of this year, one after another Jurchen Wanhu team, neatly equipped, high morale, bright armor, iron cavalry like clouds, guns and spears like a forest, plus Wanyan Zonghan, Zongbi, Zongfu several clan princes led the troops, Wanyan evacuated and supplemented, Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Living Girl, Wang Bolong, Han Chang, famous generals and generals did their best to teach and conscript, just Jurchen Wanhu, there are nearly twenty! Although there are a considerable number of Jin soldiers and Han soldiers who need to defend our Jingxiang and Jiang Zhun lines, but since the Zhong Xiang Rebellion, there is no need to be too vigilant about this, and more troops and horses can be transferred to the west. In this way, with more than 200,000 western troops, although they are waiting for the attack and waiting for work, can they be said to be victorious? ”

Zhang Xian was sweating profusely, shook his head and said, "No!" ”

At that time, the Yue family army did not rise, even in its heyday, facing hundreds of thousands of Jin army iron cavalry in the Central Plains frontal decisive battle, can not be said to win, not to mention that the Western Army and the rest of the Song army at this time, are reorganized after the chaos, Zhao Huan worked hard to adapt and enrich the selection, the strength is still far inferior to the Jin soldiers, although Zhang Xian is young, he also followed Yue Fei in the Central Plains for a year, knowing that the strength of the Jin soldiers, the prosperity of the cavalry, it is really not the current Song army can face Hang Heng in the front, how dare to say "will win" these two words.

Yao Pingzhong's eyes widened, and he said: "Since the general knows, but before he talks to me, do you have such a critical mind?" ”

Zhang Xian lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally shook his head and replied: "No, I just feel that although this battle will not lead to a big victory, it will not be defeated." ”

Yao Pingzhong smiled and said, "If the whole army is thinking like this, wouldn't it be dangerous!" ”

Yu Yunwen had been quietly listening to the two of them's answers, and only at this time did he interject: "This is the case in the army, I only think that Your Majesty has made mistakes in deploying the generals. ”

Zhang Xian originally despised this young man who called himself Yao Er, but when he heard him say it, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, only to feel that the other party's eyes were dark and shiny, and the waves were shining, although he was younger than himself, he was actually deep.
