After answering Yao Pingzhong and Yu Yunwen, Zhang Xian couldn't hold back, and after returning to his residence, he put pen to paper, pointing out the shortcomings of Chen Bing's formation that Yao Yu and the others said this time.

He was full of fire and hostility, delaying the time to go on the road with Zhang Jun's subordinates, waiting for the emperor's approval.

Unexpectedly, he was a military attaché, and the chapter was not directly submitted to the emperor, but was first checked by the cardinal, because he was the same as being degraded, Zhang Jun added a rebuttal to his note, and when it was sent to Zhao Huan's desk, because the cardinal envoy had a reply, Zhao Huan was not willing to interfere more in the military punishment, so he directly replied with Zhang Jun's original intention.

After Zhang Xian received the reply from the edict, he sighed repeatedly, but he had no choice but to immediately hit the road and catch up with the forward troops who had already set off.

He himself took dozens of personal soldiers brought from Yue Fei's department to chase along the official road, because they were all cavalry, but after two or three days, he had already caught up with the vanguard.

After seeing Zhang Jun, because the staff system has just been implemented, Zhang Jun still has a considerable number of Chinese military senators and civilian officials around him, and they don't value these officers who have been forcibly enriched, and even reject them. ”

"Yes."

Zhang Xian didn't say much to him, and quit, because he also looked down on this general who only relied on his subordinates to fight.

The new reform of the military system has been carried out, and the original Shaanxi Sixth Route Army has been called the six armies of the imperial camp, with a quota of 30,000, and each army is under the control of the general manager, with two deputy commanders and three commanders. Twelve generals, thirty-six lieutenant generals.

In addition, there are also staff officers, logistics baggage, medicine, each with a rank, the military rank is indicated to ask Chu, in the structure and hierarchy. Even in terms of equipment and training, it has slowly changed to the most advanced mode at that time.

It's just that this new military system has not yet undergone actual combat drills and has not been tempered on the battlefield, and its power will be gradually accepted and perfected only after a few years.

When Zhang Xian was in Yue Fei's department, he was the rank of deputy commander, and he used to have a gold star. At this time, when he came to Zhang Junjun, he was supposed to be the chief officer of the staff officer, but because he disagreed with the commander, he was actually assigned, also because this system has not yet been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is truly accepted.

Zhang Xianman didn't care, the Fifth Army's support ground was the defense of Yanyan Road. Originally, Liu Kuang's department was in charge, but because Liu Kuang led the main force, he went to the vicinity of the pass to set up defenses, and the Chunfeng Pass Shigu was a horn in each other's corners. Prepare for a surprise attack by Jin soldiers from the east of the river.

When he rushed to Yao Duan's front army, the other party was about to reach Dunzhou.

It was getting dark, and the army of more than 10,000 men was entering the city along the two gates, preparing to rest in the city, and in a few days, to set up defenses in front of the forts.

As for the direction of Yan'an Mansion, it is guarded by the 5,000 soldiers and horses left by Liu Jian and the general Pang Shicai, if the other party attacks from the direction of Danzhou and Linzhen, he can abandon Yan'an Mansion and retreat to the direction of Yanzhou. Abandon the northern front, retreat to defend Shanzhou, Yuanzhou, Yongzhou, Yaozhou, and take the vicinity of Yanzhou as the main battlefield. The Jin soldiers who arrived in Hangzhou to attack.

Such a garrison posture should be to judge that the Jin soldiers will not take the middle of the river and the east of the river as the main direction of the attack. Although Tongguan is a natural danger, it also has a record of being directly broken into by a strong enemy, and it is not impenetrable.

A large number of Jin soldiers gathered near Tongguan, in any case, it is impossible to gather a large number of troops from the east of the river to cross the river, even if there is a small force, it can be easily defended, and there is no need to worry too much.

Because of the need to arrange defense, Yao Duan did not enter the city to settle down, but brought hundreds of personal soldiers and important generals under his command, together to the west of the city to inspect the fort, because the time was too late, after inspecting the two villages, the sky was already dark, with Yao Duan's accompanying officers of the Chinese officer order, the accompanying soldiers lit torches in twos and threes, and the light was brilliant in an instant.

When Zhang Xian chased Yao Duan, he looked from a distance, under the night sky of the northern Shaanxi Plateau, Yao Duan's team was running on the sheep intestine trail on the high slope and the river, twisting and turning, high and low, like a fire dragon, circling and flying under the night sky.

Zhang Xian smiled slightly, admiring the other party's pragmatic style. The name of a famous general is really not something that can be obtained by luck.

He jumped off his horse and ordered his men to stand by the roadside, and he stood at the head of the procession, waiting for them to come.

"Who's up ahead!"

The sound of the horse's hooves rushed, and the smell of sweat after the horse galloped rapidly, which came to the nose in the night breeze, mixed with the sneezing sound after the horse gradually stopped, and a breath in the army, which made Zhang Xian familiar and happy.

Such a short period of wandering time has made him miss the situation in the army very much, such as Zhang Xian, a soldier who has grown up in the army since the transition period of youth and youth, even if he leaves for a short time, he can also make them at a loss.

Zhang Xian himself was silent, and the leader of the personal soldiers beside him stepped forward, holding a torch in his hand, and replied loudly: "General Zhang, the deputy commander of the Jinghu Recruitment Envoy Division, is here, and he is ordered by General Zhang to serve in the former army General Yao." This brother, is it General Yao who is here? ”

"It's me."

Before the words fell, a red horse galloped closer, and the knight immediately answered in the firelight, and then jumped off the horse and walked away from the place where Zhang Xian was standing.

When it comes to military rank and current position, Yao Duan is much higher than Zhang Xian, but he doesn't care about etiquette, he strode up to Zhang Xian, stretched out his hand, helped Zhang Xian up, and laughed: "I heard that General Zhang was coming, but I thought I was going to serve in front of the general account, why did you come to me?" Yes? ”

Yao Duan was tall, his beard was covered with earthy yellow dust, and he was holding Zhang Xian while wiping it with his hands, obviously a straightforward man, and he didn't care about image and meaningless etiquette.

Zhang Xian himself is a cool person, and he has a good impression of Yao Duan at the moment, so he keeps his body and smiles: "Maybe there is no shortage of people around the manager, so he ordered me to come over." ”

"Yes, I also need someone here who can discuss things!"

"I'm afraid that Zhang Xian's talent is insufficient and he can't help."

"General Zhang is too polite."

Yao Duan smiled indifferently, and then reached out to pat the floating soil on his body and knees, and several pro-soldiers surrounded him, wanting to help. But he was impatiently driven away.

When he slapped the ground full of dust, he suddenly said to Zhang Xian: "General Zhang, you joined the army as a young man, experienced in a hundred battles, although the military rank and official position are not high, but the reputation of courage has long been spread all over the world, and this time you defeated Liu Guangshi." You're the first to rush through the enemy line, aren't you? ”

Zhang Xian smiled wryly, wanting to deny it, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly.

When Liu Guangshi was broken, although he was also in front of the battle, it was Yue Yun who took the lead, but Yue Fei didn't want his son to become famous early, so he deliberately suppressed it, so he took Zhang Xian as the first credit. I reported it. So regardless of whether Zhang Xian wants to or not, (EB users, please log in.) Download TXT format, mobile phone users log in to ap.'N) This honor has fallen firmly on his head.

Seeing that Zhang Xian was silent, Yao Duan said again: "Since you are in our army, you should be more cheerful!" I know that you are also a famous general, and you may not be very comfortable in my heart. But they all came, "Everyone is working for the imperial court, and the land is the official family of the Great Song Dynasty." You don't have to worry about what you have and don't, you can do it? ”

For an old and rough general like him, in order to make a famous general like Zhang Xian work, Sijing is a search for intestines. Only then did he squeeze out these words, although his attitude was sincere, but he said it was extremely dry and tasteless.

Despite this, the soldiers around him had never seen this person speak like this, and they all immediately blinked their eyes and looked at this foreign general with a white face and a scholar.

Zhang Xian didn't care whether the other party's words were exquisite, and after listening to it, he only felt happy in his heart. Working with such a straightforward general is naturally better than that sinister face. Zhang Jun, who is very deep in the city, is much stronger.

He replied, "It's nature!" Since the last general has come, he has the heart to serve to death. The general also knows my name, so he naturally understands what kind of person Zhang Xian is. Not to mention the staff and military, it is common for Zhang Xian to lead the dead soldiers to rush into battle! ”

In the Song Dynasty, the soldiers who rushed into battle were all prisoners and death camps composed of criminal soldiers, and this system is no longer popular, but it still exists in the hearts of the people.

"Good!"

Yao Duan was also very happy, as a military general, there was no one who did not like to add an extra brave general under his command. Although Zhang Xian may not stay, it is always a good thing to have such a person in front of him.

He does not have the habit of judging people by their appearance, Zhang Xiansheng's handsomeness is his appearance, but his reputation is real.

The two laughed and high-fived, and Zhang Xian was officially returned to the establishment.

After not saying anything for a while, they got on the horse and walked together.

Zhang Xian since the army, has been in the Central Plains and Jiangnan rushing, either the plain area, or the water network dense Jiangnan, at this time walking on the uneven Loess Plateau, suddenly in front of a high river, need to take a detour to crawl, suddenly the soles of the feet is a touch of flat river, even steep high valleys, the starry sky overhead, if there are people walking under the feet, it seems to be very close, if it is about to run, it may take an hour or two.

He only felt fresh in his heart, and he had a new understanding of the terrain of various places in Shaanxi.

After half a ring, he suddenly remembered something and asked Yao Duan, "The general went to inspect the fortress in front, but what did he gain?" ”

Yao Duan's head was bored, his face was tired, and while rubbing his chin with his hand, he replied in a deep voice: "The people who guard the village and patrol the border are all small schools, and they can't ask anything about the overall situation." It was a small engagement, and it never stopped. Today, I knew that there was still no movement on the other side, there were few military and horse movements, and I didn't feel that the people were scattered. ”

When Zhang Xian heard this, he didn't say much, but said: "If we don't fight here, it will be a great loss for us to come here." ”

Yao Duan shook his head, and after a moment of silence, Fang said again: "I just feel that it is wrong." Since Wanyan Lou's room was helped by the folding family, the three prefectures of Lin, Fu and Feng in the river have all been returned to the Jurchens, and the enemy's rear is stable and can advance and retreat freely. It is to attack the states of Yanyan, and it is also extremely convenient. ”

He waved the whip in his hand heavily, his face was already murderous, and he said hatefully: "You can really kill it!" If it weren't for him, let's recover the river, Shaanxi would be as safe as a rock, at this time he led the family to return to the Jurchen, and also helped Wanyan Lou Room to get the Linjin army, is a nail inserted into our Junzhou Road, this thief is not removed, but I am afraid that there will be no peace. ”
