He rode forward and persuaded the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground one by one, because there were so many people, that they rode around for a long time.

Tens of thousands of soldiers, while being sad, also saw the emperor crying sadly, and they were even more impressed and couldn't help themselves.

When Shen Tuo returned to the original place, the sound of long live was endless, resounding through the clouds.

The ancients respected the emperor to this point, and it is true that it is not a false statement.

The place was chaotic, but it was inconvenient to speak, Zhang Jun and others surrounded Shen Tuo and traveled all the way south. Along the way, there are hundreds of thousands of people who heard the wind, led the pulp and held the pot, knelt on both sides of the road, and saw Shen Tuo riding alone at the front of the team.

As for the city of Jingzhou, it is also full of fragrant flowers, and all shops in the city have placed incense cases and fruit candles, welcoming them along the way.

Shen Tuo sighed secretly in his heart, after all, the Song family treated the scholars and the people well, although there was the harm of Zhao Jihua Shigang, so that there was an uprising in the southeast, in fact, the hearts of the people of the whole country did not deviate, and the hearts of the people were towards the Song Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty was peaceful.

Jingyuan is the same as Qin Feng, it has always been an important town of the Song Dynasty against the Western Xia, the city is tall and majestic, the buildings in the city are also square and simple, and the roads are spacious.

The Mongolian cavalry that followed Shen Tuo was the first time they saw such a big city, and they opened their eyes and crooked their mouths one by one, looking in a daze.

When the young guards saw it, they laughed secretly in their hearts, and said: "This is just a military town of the Great Song Dynasty, if you go to Luoyang Kaifeng, or even Yangzhou, Suzhou and other places, you must not stare your eyes down." ”

When he arrived at the Jingzhou Assassin's Mansion, Shen Tuo sat upright in the main hall, led by Zhang Jun, and many other border ministers and generals greeted and saluted together.

Shen Tuo gently exhorted and made everyone get up.

In addition to Zhang Jun, there are also Zhang Jun, the governor of Qinfeng Road, Xi Gong, the envoy of Weizhou, Liu Qi, the commander of Jingyuan, Zhao Zhe, the commander of the Huanqing Army, and Guan Shigu, the commander of the Xihe Army.

In addition to Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun was one of the four generals of Zhongxing later, but Shen Tuo also knew very well. At the beginning of Jingkang, this person repeatedly made military exploits, from the lowest archers to be repeatedly removed, from the lowest military attache to the imperial camp to control, worship the festival envoy, the king of the county, at this time there are still some heroic forces, but later in order to conform to Zhao Gou's will to protect the wealth, he actually helped Qin Hui frame Yue Fei, committed a heinous crime. And his subordinates have also changed from elite divisions to rabble, and they will be defeated in every battle.

At this time, Zhang Jun was already the commander of the Imperial Army, and he came to Shaanxi because he had a good relationship with Zhang Jun, and Zhao Gou agreed to Zhang Jun's plan to pass through Sichuan and Shaanxi, so he was sent.

Shen Tuo was very disgusted with him, but on the surface, he was treated the same as the generals, and there was nothing special.

The rest of Liu Qi, Guan Shigu and others are all Sichuan-Shaanxi Han people, and they are from a family of border generals, and when they saw Shen Tuo, they stood proudly on the left and right.

The hall was silent for a while.

When Shen Tuo first came back, the impulse to everyone had gradually passed, but it was a very embarrassing reality at the moment. There is an emperor in Yangzhou, but there is another one here, how do they deal with themselves, if Shen Tuo orders Zhao Gou to abdicate the throne, what should he do?

Compared with ordinary generals, the most embarrassing is Zhang Jun. As a high-ranking official in the court, he is also the right minister, and he is also a privy councilor, Zhao Gou sent him to Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the prime minister should be in power, and he is extremely trustworthy and dependent.

Shen Tuo can't come, everything here is up to him. As soon as Shen Tuo arrived, as a courtier, he naturally wanted to serve Shen Tuo as the master. It's just that Shen Tuo's identity is a little embarrassing, and secondly, the lessons of the past are still there, but Zhang Jun is not as loyal as a general, as a civil servant, he actually has a lot of criticism of Shen Tuo in his heart, but with his upbringing, even though he knows that Shen Tuo is deficient in talent and morality, he only flashes in his heart, and he never dares to think about it.

Junchen father and son, in ancient China, was a shackle, locking the way of many capable people with lofty ideals, but at this time, it became Shen Tuo's biggest talisman magic weapon.

Zhang Jun groaned for a while, and finally couldn't get rid of the mindset formed by years of upbringing, and the silence in the field had to be broken by him first.

Because he bowed his hand to Shen Tuo and said: "Your Majesty has returned from the northern hunt, and the ministers are happy." When the edict is issued to the world, it is necessary to comfort the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty. ”

Shen Tuo nodded and smiled: "This matter needs to be done as soon as possible, and everything should be handled by the minister." ”

Zhang Jun raised his head slightly and glanced at Shen Tuo. I only felt that the other party's eyes were crystal clear, seemingly simple, but only occasionally flashed with waves, and I felt unfathomable. In any case, Shen Tuo's status as emperor cannot be violated or ignored, which is also the ethics of a scholar official.

It's just that Shen Tuo replied so quickly, but he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and replied: "The minister will order someone to open the seal in a while, and issue it to the world with an edict." ”

But he couldn't help but ask Shen Tuo: "Your Majesty, Jingzhou is too narrow to be stationed in the Holy Driver, why don't you still open it?" ”

Shen Tuo's heart was bright, Zhang Jun's words, firstly, to test how he would deal with Zhao Jianji's claim to be the emperor, and secondly, to see if this emperor had the courage to face the enemy's front line. Zong Ze, who knew Kaifeng Mansion, had died in the second year of Jianyan, and before his death, he wrote to Zhao Gou many times to ask him to return to Kaifeng, and he was facing the enemy. Zhao Gou is as timid as a mouse, where dare to agree. Zong Ze was extremely sad and indignant, his health deteriorated, and when he was dying, he still raised his arms and shouted: "Cross the river, cross the river!" ”

The death of a loyal man is the most hurtful. Zhao Gou's move disappointed the officials and generals of the main battle faction. It's just that this person crossed the river on a white horse, cleaned up the mess, and made great contributions to the community, if Shen Tuo is still the same as at the beginning, then the subjects of the world naturally know how to choose.

Shen Tuo pondered this matter for a long time, and as soon as Zhang Jun asked, he immediately replied: "The ninth brother is now in Yangzhou, and there is no one in Kaifeng. Since the ninth brother didn't come to Kaifeng, then I didn't go back, but where did I leave the righteous and brave behind? Even if I don't say anything, I am determined to open it! ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhang Jun was greatly excited, but also the many border ministers and generals present were also grateful. Shen Tuo called Zhao Gou the ninth brother and not King Kang, which indirectly recognized the legitimacy of Zhao Gou's title as emperor and avoided everyone from immediately falling into the embarrassing situation of the two emperors competing for each other. And the willingness to return to Kaifeng also has an irreplaceable role in motivating the soldiers in the Central Plains. In this way, a big stone in everyone's heart can be put down, and they all feel that the emperor's passing through the northern hunt has been very different from the past.

At that moment, everyone bowed down together and said to Shen Tuo: "Your Majesty is decisive, and the ministers will do their best to serve and protect Your Majesty!" ”

Shen Tuo smiled slightly, didn't say anything about it, and just asked Zhang Jun: "Xianggong was originally a cardinal, and he was not by the side of the ninth brother in Yangzhou, what did he do when he came to Sichuan and Shaanxi?" ”

Zhang Jun bowed and replied: "The minister said, Zhongxing should start from Sichuan and Shaanxi. And the Jin soldiers will attack the southeast, in order to reduce the pressure on the southeast, they will gather troops in Guanshan, the soldiers are thin Yongxing, Your Majesty is here, the road meets the soldiers, that is, the ministers are assembled here, and after some time, all the soldiers and horses gather, you can send troops. ”

"Zhongxing should start from Sichuan and Shaanxi, good!" Shen Tuo first nodded in approval, and then asked, "How many soldiers are there in Zhulu and how many are there in Jin?" Are these ministers clear? ”

Zhang Jun said: "The main force of the Jin army, all led by Wushu, at this time the troops pressed the southeast, in the Guanshan area, but twenty or thirty thousand people, and the old and weak division, no combat power. It's just that it is difficult for our army to move, and the supply of grain and grass will take time, if we can start at this time, I am afraid that we can win immediately. ”

After that, his face was proud. Since Zhang Jun entered Shaanxi, he has sorted out the original chaotic situation a little bit in a few months, and the Song soldiers gathered in various parts of Jingyuan at this time are afraid that they are close to 300,000, and as long as another month passes, the assembled army can exceed 500,000. Since the beginning of the Song and Jin wars, there has never been such a large army assembled, taking the initiative to attack, and fighting the Jin people on the frontal battlefield. He is a civil servant, as long as he is victorious, he can make great achievements, but he teaches him how to be unexpected.

Shen Tuo looked at his expression and knew that this person had been deployed, and the big battle was about to start. He was uneasy, and in his memory, in addition to Yue Fei's recovery of Xiang and Deng, and the defeat of the Jin army in Zhuxian Town, the Southern Song Dynasty's war against Jin, although it was victorious, was on the defensive, and it was only possible to defeat it by waiting for labor.

And Zhang Jun gathered a large army at this time, such a scale, but there is no record of victory in the history books, so it must have been a defeat. The Western Army is the elite of the Song Dynasty, and at this time, the team of the four generals of Zhongxing has not yet been formed, if the Western Army loses the main force here, then the initiative of the entire battlefield will be surrendered to the Jin people, and the Song Dynasty no longer has the ability to contain the enemy.

No wonder Zhao Gou in the next few years, embarrassed, was beaten by the Jin soldiers all the way to the south, and even after Jiankang fled, all the way to the bumpy sea, after many years did not dare to go to land, only after entering Lin'an, Yue Fei and other troops strength soared, the more the war became stronger, he could be stable.

Shen Tuo was uneasy in his heart, and he wanted to persuade Zhang Jun to act cautiously, but he didn't dare to speak out because of his "criminal record", and he was really depressed in his heart. After being stunned for a while, Fang said: "Since I am here, then naturally I can't stay out of the matter, and I will also come to the camp to fight." In this battle, the Great Song Dynasty will win! ”
