Volume 12 Thousand Autumns Meritorious Deeds Need a Hundred Battles Chapter 1259 Weizhou (5)
Soon, Zhang Xian came to the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Zhang Xian, the envoy of the peasant on Qinchuan North Road, escorted the grain and grass here, and met the general."
Zhao Shi looked up, Zhang Xian looked forty or fifty years old, wearing an official uniform, like Zhang Fengju, with a slightly thin long face, thick eyebrows, and bright eyes, but Zhao Shi could still see at a glance that this person had not been in the army for a long time, and there was not much military spirit on his body, but it revealed a kind of weak atmosphere unique to a scholar.
Of course, Zhao Shi didn't care about this, after this person came in, he just bowed and was rude, which is undoubtedly rude, you know, not to mention that he is now commanding the army, just say that with his identity as a general, not to mention a small pawn peasant envoy, even if he appeases the envoy to see him, he will also give a military salute to meet him.
However, he is already familiar with officialdom etiquette, and with a slight turn in his mind, he understands the joints.
In fact, this person is really not rude, first, the peasant envoy is a serious civil servant, it can be said that he is not under the same system, usually meet, a lower official salute is just that, no need to see the big gift, second, he and Zhang Feng are righteous brothers, in terms of generation, it is also a generation, if you meet in personal friendship, it is him who is the general who salutes first.
Dan Li is such a reason, it really has to be more serious, and now it is said that people are dragged out to fight a few military sticks.
Where is this? This is the big tent of the Chinese army in front of the two armies, the general manager of the soldiers and horses of the Xia Zhulu, no matter who comes here, except for the emperor Xià in person, the rest, no matter who comes here, are his subordinates, the peasant envoys. He's really not called an official here......
Zhao Shi's eyes flickered. A smile was already on his face. And stood up, waved his hand and said, "Lord Zhang has worked hard all the way, hurry up and sit down and talk." ”
Seeing the smile on the other party's face, Zhao Shi had a little score here, but then he was sunny in his heart, and said, Tiger Father and Dog.
These four words did not come out of thin air, although he and Zhang Zu had not met. But there are two things that have impressed him.
In that year, Qin and Xia negotiated peace, and the Western Xia people wanted to marry Princess Jingjia into the summer, so they sent an envoy to Qin to propose marriage.
At that time, Emperor Jing had already moved, maybe as long as the envoys of Western Xia arrived in Chang'an, the matter would be decided, and it was he Zhao Shi who connected Li Bandit. secretly sent a letter to Zhang Zu, and finally had a team of envoys who ransacked Western Xia. So that the matter of harmony ends without a problem.
Moreover, the subsequent Li bandits led the northwest horse bandits into the Tubo lowlands, and were able to gain a firm foothold in the Tubo lowlands, in fact, they were inseparable from the secret support of the Northwest Town Army.
In this matter, Zhao Shi owed Zhang Zu a great favor, and it also made Zhao Shi clear that General Zhang, the commander of the Northwest Town Army, even if he did not have the prestige and ability to lead the troops, but in terms of open-mindedness, means and courage, there are few people in the world who can compare.
Moreover, in the rebellion of Chang'an a few years ago, he was invited by a piece of paper, and Zhang Cheng led his troops to join the Tubo cavalry and waved the army to Chang'an, and at that time, Zhang Zu was already seriously ill, and he could still have such a decision, and almost bet the life of the Zhang family in the northwest on him.
If such a person is born at the right time, he may not be able to set off many storms and waves, but unfortunately, when the world is surging, this person is already old......
Before, the relationship between him and the Northwest Zhang family was also very simple, relying on each other and secretly supporting each other.
But now, he has been promoted to the Duke of Xingguo, the champion general, the head of the great generals of Great Qin, and he still has the title of privy deputy envoy, the head of the national military superintendent, and today, he is the head of the soldiers and horses of the Xia Zhulu, holding the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands.
It can be said that now the Northwest Zhang family is already under his protection, if there is no accident, as long as he is in one day, the Northwest Zhang family does not need to do anything, and naturally can enjoy all the glory and wealth.
In fact, it can already be seen now, Zhang Fengju is really promoted to the general sooner or later, if you really want to talk about it, he has made many more military exploits than Du Shanhu, and the reason why he has not really crossed the threshold is not only because of his age, but also because he has been dragged down by his family.
In one door, there are two generals, in Daqin, except for the two families, there is no one else, plus, one holds the military power of the northwest town, and the other is free, and the general Zhao Shi is the same brother.
Such a Northwest Zhang family, not to mention that the two families do not want to see it, even if it is the current majesty and the important ministers of the court, they must be very afraid.
Therefore, after the battle of the summer, the Northwest Zhang clan will definitely usher in a peak, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Fengju will all take a step up.
Therefore, the soldiers and horses on the right side, Zhang Cheng, a fierce general in the northwest, can only be a grain officer, and the meaning of planting is obvious, that is, to suppress the Zhang family in the northwest, and after the war, he will be rewarded for his merits and deeds, so as to leave room for it......
This is not subject to the will of each person, after the war, he can ensure that the Zhang family produces a general, and how the other one is, but it depends on the meaning of the imperial court, and the choice between Zhang Cheng and Zhang Fengju should be obvious.
These things are clearly pretended in his heart, with his position, he has seen and heard too many people and things, and he can think so clearly and thoroughly, in the final analysis, it is just because of the relationship between the two of them for many years.
And the in-laws of the Li family, even the Gongyi Zhao family, have never seen him bothered so much, and the preciousness of the intersection between men and children is here......
Originally, he wanted to ask Zhang Fengju what he meant, but he was always at a loss, the work of cutting down the summer was in front of him, and the two of them had too many things to worry about, so they didn't have time to talk about anything.
Thinking about Zhao Shi, when he takes Lingzhou, he should be able to relax a little, and before discussing the reward for meritorious deeds, he has a deep talk with Zhang Fengju, but he didn't think about it, but he waited for this Lord Zhang.
This person came to the army to ask for a meeting, I don't think it was for himself to become an official or to ask for something for his nephew, looking at his appearance, it shouldn't be that Zhang Zu's illness has recurred, so why he came, how much is clear.
Coupled with the previous pie, then, a tiger father and dog son, there is really nothing wrong.
When Zhang Xian sat down, Zhao Shi smiled and said, "Zhang clan relatives, I haven't seen much...... In the past, I worked hard everywhere, but I only came to the northwest once, and I was still young, and I only arrived in Qingyang, so I never met Mr. Zhang. ”
Zhang Xian is also the first time to see this famous general Zhao, has been secretly looking, he is no different from others, when this general Zhao became famous in the first battle in Shuzhong, how much I feel that this general is lucky, that is, I heard that my nephew and he became brothers, and my heart is still a little pantothenic.
If his little beasts can be sent to Chang'an, maybe they can also make war exploits in Shuzhong, especially because they have the merit of going from the dragon and the hundred battles of Tongguan in the east before.
When the identity of this general becomes more and more prominent, except for his nephew, the Northwest Zhang family has not much benefit, and the others have not much benefit, he can't help but feel a little resentful here, but he is not confused, and understands that from the perspective of the court situation, if the Northwest Zhang family really leans so closely, if he is not careful, he will be overturned.
When the rebellion in Chang'an was over, that is, he didn't know, if he knew that his father would send his third brother to bring troops into Beijing, he would definitely fight to the death, which was no different from the crime of exterminating the clan......
However, after the Chang'an Rebellion, when he heard the news, in addition to shock and fear, he was only left with envy, and then became worried.
You must know that Zhang Cheng is the eldest son of the third room of the Zhang family, but he already has the posture of taking over the position of Zhang Zu and holding the clan power, as the second son of the Changzhi, how can he not be in a hurry?
Even if he got the position of the envoy of Qinchuan North Road, he could not eliminate the worries in his heart.
In fact, it is similar to what Zhao Shi thought, the battle within the big family is just that, and Zhang Xian is here, it must not be his own intention, but he is the only one who dares to come to talk, which can only show that he is the most eager one.
Zhang Xian has heard a lot of things about the general Zhao Shi, and he said that it is better to be famous than to meet, and Zhang Xian himself thinks that it is the most suitable to use here.
When he saw the real person, like every time he heard about this great general, the first thing he admired in his heart was the young man of the other party, which was also the envy and jealousy of almost all people in high positions.
And then came the word majestic, and then I felt that it was really majestic, and a person like him who was born with him left such an impression when he met for the first time, which can only show that Zhao Shi's body is too special.
Listening to Zhao Shixiang's question at this time, Zhang Xian's heart was a little relieved, the children of the family, at such an age, ushered in the communication skills of the send-off.
It's just the old man who Zhao Shi asked, and he could only answer solemnly: "Thank you for the general's question, a few days ago, I received a letter from home, saying that my father's illness has not recurred, but it is difficult for Shen Ke to return, I'm afraid it will ......."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xian shook his head slowly, and the meaning was very clear.
Zhao Shi sighed and said, "It's a pity that the country is just the time to employ people...... It's a pity that the good generals of the country have no room to show their skills......"
(I hope you don't feel verbose, these are still paving the way for the future, otherwise you will have some in the future, it is better to explain it clearly, so as not to appear abrupt in the future, and, thank you again for your support, and again, the break is too long, I forgot a lot of previous chapters, more than four million words, Ah Cao turned a little headache, alas, life is hard......
Fortunately, the editor is very friendly, only reverting to the update, and immediately gave Ah Cao two recommendations, but the feeling to Ah Cao is that the history class is just like this, and there are fewer and fewer readers, Ah Cao is now thinking, after the end of this book, should I write Xianxia? (To be continued......)
