In short, from October last year to the present, Qu Neng has not stopped for most of the year, and Song Sheng was upset by Qu Neng, and his mentality was about to explode.

The generals of the official army all scolded Qu Neng, they had never seen such a sinister and shameless person who had nothing to do.

Zhuge Liang didn't do that back then.

However, Song Sheng knew that Zhuge Liang's Shu Kingdom back then couldn't withstand such a toss, but Qu Neng was now tossing casually.

After a long time, the officers and soldiers in Guanzhong were used to it, and they were unwilling to deal with Qu Neng.

In April this year, Qu Neng repeated his old trick and sent 10,000 soldiers and horses from Chencang Road to Dasanguan.

The officers and soldiers did not react when they got the news, Song Sheng ordered Zhang Wu to bring troops to support, Zhang Wu did not move, and reported that he said yes and led the troops out.

When Song Sheng found out, he almost wanted to cut him.

This time, the rebels went deeper and went directly to the Dasan Pass.

Zhang Wu hurriedly sent troops at this time, and Song Sheng ordered all his troops and left Xi'an.

Unexpectedly, the next day I received a telegram, and the rebels left again, and after shooting a letter at Dasanguan, they ran away.

"Is this Qu Neng sick?" Song Sheng wanted to vomit blood at that time.

Walk hundreds of miles with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then shoot an arrow and go back, you have nothing to do, right?

The letter Qu Neng wrote was very simple, telling Song Sheng, Lao Tzu will play the big dispersal pass this time, you wait, I will come back immediately.

Song Sheng smiled angrily and tore up the letter directly.

He didn't believe that Qu Neng would come to fight the Great Dispersion Pass.

Song Sheng still felt that Qu Neng could go to such a dangerous place as Meridian Valley and Fu Luo Road.

In late May, Song Sheng summoned Zhang Wu and several other important generals.

Because he calculated the time, it was about to enter June, and the battle of Huguang was about to break out, and Qu Neng might move his troops.

The generals gathered in Xi'an, and Zhang Wu came the latest, and he still had an expression of disbelief with him.

Song Sheng really wanted to find someone to cut him, but he didn't dare.

"The imperial court has assembled a large army in Huguang, and the battle in Huguang is about to break out, and our Guanzhong is also quite important, no matter what, during this time, we must hold Guanzhong."

Song Sheng said: "Once the Guanzhong is broken, the rebels will drive straight in, and they can attack Shanxi and Henan in the east, and Huguang in the southeast, and our officers and troops in Huguang will be very passive." ”

The generals nodded their heads one after another, and some people disagreed, because Song Sheng's matter had been talked about many times in the past six months.

Song Sheng mentioned that in the past two months, it is necessary to strengthen precautions and be prepared, because now is the critical moment of the decisive battle in Huguang, and you have not listened to military orders in the past, so forget it, and you must pay attention to it in the past two months.

Zhang Wu immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, and the others also showed unhappy expressions.

Qu can toss like this, who has time to play with him every day.

Just when Zhang Wu wanted to raise an objection.

There was a strange noise outside.

"The Divine Decree -—— to -——"

The scene was in an uproar again.

After a while, Li Sheng came in, with a young eunuch, who should be Hou Xian's follower.

Song Sheng led the generals to the south in a hurry, facing the north, and knelt down.

The little eunuch read out Zhu Di's oral parable.

"Promote Zhang Wu, as the general of Zhenbei, serve as the chief military officer, control the capital of Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces, and be fully responsible for the war in Guanzhong, Song Sheng cooperated with Zhang Wu, transferred Song Changbao, and Song Jing returned to Beijing."

Song Sheng was dizzy when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it.

Zhang Wu was overjoyed, and he was ecstatic.

After waiting for so long, he was finally promoted to the rank of commander.

After announcing the decree, Song Sheng stood up dizzy, and the little eunuch handed over what Zhu Di had written.

Zhu Di went out without a holy decree, and wrote an order casually, but there was a large seal of Zhu Di on it, which could distinguish the authenticity.

Song Sheng received it in his hand, looked at it hurriedly, and confirmed that it was true.

He looked up in frustration, and the generals around him were also looking at him.

Most of the people were secretly happy, and a few of the subordinates he brought from Liangzhou and Gansu were as disappointed as he was.

Originally, Song Sheng was very prestigious among the generals, even if he suffered a defeat in Sichuan, everyone didn't blame him.

But Qu Neng has been harassing Qin Ling, and Song Sheng has asked for a long time to be unremitting, which has aroused the disgust of the generals.

From October of the fourth year of Yongnian to May of the fifth year to May of the fifth year, they had to be nervous every day to prevent Qu Neng from leading troops over.

Anyone will never tire of it.

The Emperor's will came just right.

At this time, most of the generals were happy to see Song Sheng step down.

"Congratulations to Cheng Yanghou." At this moment, Zhou Hong, the commander of the Xi'an avant-garde, suddenly congratulated Zhang Wu in person, obviously on purpose.

There was a sound of horses clapping around, Zhang Wu enjoyed it very much, laughing, and proud.

He didn't care about Song Sheng and decided to discuss the matter again, but this time, he sat down unceremoniously on the main seat.

Song Sheng stood down in a dull mood, still thinking about transferring Song Changbao and Song Jing back to Beijing.

Zhu Di left Song Sheng and transferred his nephew and grandson back to Beijing, making it clear that he did not trust him.

"Hey" Song Sheng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and thought, Your Majesty, the old man really wants to guard Guanzhong for you.

When he opened his eyes, he glared at Li Sheng fiercely, Li Sheng came back with the little eunuch, he must have secretly made a small report without him, and if the court lost Guanzhong in the future, Zhang Wu and Li Sheng would be punished.

He was thinking nonsense below, and he didn't hear what Zhang Wu was saying.

After Zhang Wu finished speaking, someone on the side reminded him, and he knew that Zhang Wu asked him to take 30,000 elite horsemen from Liangzhou and Gansu to guard Fengxiang.

It is used to defend the two roads of Dasanguan, Chencang Road and Qishan Road.

Song Sheng immediately said: "Fengxiang is hundreds of miles away from the Meridian Valley, once the rebels come from Qinling, we are afraid that we will not have time to rush over." ”

"The Lianggan Iron Cavalry is extremely elite, so they can be stationed in Xi'an, and the old man only needs 20,000 infantry to hold Fengxiang."

Zhang Wu said quietly: "Old general, you just need to follow the order now." ”

"Brush" Song Sheng's face was flushed, ashamed, angry, and helpless.

"Zhang Wu, you don't want a villain to be ambitious, what kind of attitude do you have." Someone around him suddenly drank heavily.

Everyone turned their heads, it turned out to be Song Sheng's nephew Song Changbao, he saw that Song Sheng was still ashamed of Zhang Wu at such an age, and he was so angry.

Zhang Wu was also furious, and took the case: "Bastard, what identity do you have, dare to commit a crime?" Come? ”

The generals on both sides dissuaded one after another, and Song Sheng saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly stopped Song Changbao, and then stubbornly and with a thick old face, he pleaded guilty to Zhang Wu.

"Zhang Wu looked at the old general's face and gave him a chance, if he committed another crime in the army, he would not be spared." Zhang Wu said sharply.

Song Changbao was ashamed and angry, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

After Zhang Wu became the chief military officer, he completely denied and changed all the arrangements of Song Sheng, and no longer sent sentry cavalry to go deep into the various roads, saying that it was a waste and a loss of troops in vain.

Song Sheng led 30,000 elite Lianggan cavalry to defend Fengxiang, and Li Sheng led 30,000 cavalry to defend Xi'an.

Song Sheng's soldiers and horses stationed in various counties before were all abandoned, and he mainly guarded Qinzhou, Dasanguan, and Juxian.

If Qu Neng comes in from Qinling, he is not in a hurry, he will use Juxian as a block, and then concentrate his forces to encircle Qu Neng.

In his opinion, if Qu Neng had to come out of the Qinling Mountains, which spanned hundreds of miles, he would inevitably be sleepy and vulnerable.

Song Sheng felt that this Zhang Wu had no military talent at all, and he didn't know how he survived the martyrdom, and he was also named Hou.

In fact, Zhang Wu led a few thousand soldiers and horses at most in the Jingjing, and he had no chance to stand alone, his level was really average, except for being brave in battle and loyal to Zhu Di, he had no advantages.

Zhang Wu's opponent is Qu Neng, and the two are not at the same level at all.

Qu Neng served as the commander of the Sichuan capital for more than ten years, commanding the troops to defend one side, and achieving remarkable results.

Zhang Wu was only a hundred-household official in the Jingjing, relying on loyalty and bravery, and he had no experience in defending one side after the Jingjing.

But what Zhu Di trusts now is the people who are loyal to him, which is an advantage that Song Sheng can't match.

Song Sheng wanted to say a few words, but after thinking about it, he was still silent.

At this time, Zhang Wu was surrounded by a bunch of generals congratulating him.

Song Sheng walked out of the hall with a cold face, and his nephews Song Changbao and Song Jing came out one after another.

After a while, another heroic general came out.

This person is Song Sheng's old department, and the Ganliang Iron Cavalry commands the vine gathering.

Tengju served in Yunnan in his early years, and in the twenty-third year of Hongwu, he was the commander of Erhaiwei, and later he was transferred to the commander of Zhuang Langwei in Shaanxi Province and became a subordinate of Song Sheng.

During the Battle of Jingyan, Fuji Ju took Zhuang Langwei to participate in the Battle of Baigou River in time, the original history he and Qu Neng father and son were beheaded in this battle together, and now because of Zhu Gaoxu's participation, history has changed, Zhu Gaochu captured Qu Neng and his son alive, he and Yu Tongyuan did not die in battle, but retreated in time.

After the Jingjing, he was transferred to the commander of Liangzhou Wei, still a subordinate of Song Sheng, still in Shaanxi, but closer to Gansu.

This time, he followed Song Sheng into Sichuan, but failed miserably.

Fujiju respects Song Sheng very much and is also regarded as a confidant by Song Sheng.

After he came out, he looked at Song Sheng, looked back at the 'tui' inside, spit a mouthful of saliva to the door, and said angrily: "The villain has a will." ”

On the side, Song Changbao and Song Jing turned their heads at the same time and spat on the ground.

Song Sheng sighed, looked back at Song Changbao and Song Jing, and was about to say something.

Inside, Zhang Wu walked out.

The generals also left one after another, and many people stopped greeting Song Sheng now.

Zhang Wu seemed to be in a good mood, and came to Song Sheng with a smile, followed by the little eunuch who had just announced the decree: "Your Majesty has a decree, the two Song generals should return to Beijing early, and they will leave for Beijing with Gonggong Chang tomorrow." ”

Song Changbao and Song Jing's faces changed slightly at the same time.

Song Sheng had no choice but to say, "Of course." ”

Zhang Wu laughed, turned around to leave, but suddenly turned around, then looked at Song Sheng with a mysterious face, and whispered: "I heard that when you retreated from Sichuan to Hanzhong, there was a person with a particularly big head on the road who visited you late at night, is it safe?" ”

Song Sheng's face remained unchanged, and his expression was calm: "Why doesn't the old man know about this, Chengyang Hou shouldn't use false rumors, the old man is definitely loyal to His Majesty." With that, he hugged his fists in the direction of Jingshi.

"Ha, I'll ask casually, Xining Hou, don't fall for Zhu Gaoxu, this guy is very bad." After speaking, Zhang Wu turned around proudly.

"Mother's." Song Sheng was calm on the surface, but he was already scolding his mother in his heart.

Zhang Wu was right, it must have been Zhu Gaoxu who deliberately leaked the incident of his safe visit to him at this time, which made Zhu Di suspicious and changed generals on the spot.

The old man fell for this little bastard.
