Zhang Wuji's life is not legendary.

He was originally from a humble background, a reckless generation, and his friend Wei Wuji, who grew up together, supported each other and lived in the market, and later forced to make a living, the two secretly joined the White Lotus Sect, and soon became the backbone of the sect.

In that year, Emperor Zheng Shenzong died, Xiao Yu was called king, Xiao Lie appointed himself as the prime minister of the Great Cheng and led the princes with the Son of Heaven, the world was in chaos, he and Wei Wuji followed the White Lotus envoy Lu Lin and Zhang Fu, and launched the famous Red Turban Army uprising.

In just half a year, the Red Turban Army rose like a spark of fire, from the initial 3,000 people to tens of thousands of elite people, more than 1 million displaced people, swept most of the south of the Yangtze River, at that time was still called Zhang Dingguo, Zhang Wuxian also began to show his unusual talent for leading troops in this process, and soon he was able to lead an army by himself, and became famous in the land of Jiangnan.

However, the exiles are the exiles, and the rabble is always a rabble, in the face of the Jiangnan official army that has been sparse for a long time, they can still win the battle by virtue of their numerical superiority, but when they face the northwest iron cavalry from Shaanxi to Shu and then into the lake, they are immediately defeated and lost.

At that time, the Northwest Cavalry was known as the first army in the world, swept the grassland cavalry, and later built the iron cavalry, after the Northwest Army set foot in the south of the Yangtze River, it was often thousands of people who killed tens of thousands of people and could not form an army.

Then Emperor Xiao personally went to Jiangnan and launched the East Lake Villa with Jiangnan Daomen, the White Lotus Sect Holy Maiden Tang Shengyue, the White Lotus made Tang Banyan Tree, and the Sword Sect Zhang Xueyao were captured, and the White Lotus made Lu Lin, Zhang Fu and the ghost king of the old ghost palace die here, and the Red Turban Army completely collapsed.

Looking back now, the role of the Red Turban Army was actually to destroy the foundation of the Dazheng court's rule in Jiangnan, and then Lu Qian naturally picked up the mess and easily established his rule in Jiangnan.

However, Zhang Wuji and Wei Wuji did not choose to belong to Lu Qian's command, but took a team of descendants to travel around and became one of the countless grass kings.

Later, Emperor Xiao set the general trend, the two were defeated and captured and returned to Shun, and were given the names of Wuji and Wuji by Emperor Xiao respectively, and now Qi Xianyun, Xiao Yuanying, Zhao Tinghu and Xu Beiyou are called the four Jun, at that time the four Jun were the sick tiger Zhang Wuji, the human cat Wei Wuji, the mound python Chaqing, the flying bear Yu Kuang, the four were all born in the army, and then they were all in high positions, compared to the other three, Zhang Wuxian is the most bumpy person.

He was the first of the four to climb to the high position of the governor, but he was the last to be promoted from the first rank, only because of the Lanhan party struggle in the first year of Chengping, so that Zhang Wuxian, who was a member of the Han Party, was dismissed from office, and had to lie dormant for more than 20 years, until 20 years later, he was named one of the five left governors of the Dadu Governor's Mansion together with Yu Kuang, who had been obscure for many years.

There is a saying that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, but when are they at ease in the temple?

After receiving a letter from the imperial capital, the usually moody Governor Zuodu was obviously a little worried these days, which made a confidant general feel surprised, he was Zhang Wuxi's subordinate twenty years ago, with Zhang Wuxi's recovery, he was also transferred to the Northwest Army, for so many years he has rarely seen this old boss with such a look, that is, when he was personally dismissed by Duanmu Ruisheng of the Dark Guard Mansion twenty years ago, he just smiled.

Zhang Wuxi wandered back and forth in the study, although he was already an old man in his old age according to his age, but because of his high cultivation, he still looked like a man in the prime of life, but the subordinate who was more than ten years younger than him looked older and had pale hair.

Zhang Wuxian stopped, did not look back, and said to this confidant: "Ziyi, this governor is in a dilemma this time, on the one hand, Lan Xiangye, who recommended me as the governor of Zuodu, on the other hand, is the old benefactor Han Ge Lao, the two of them are fighting, sandwiching me in the middle of a dilemma, this time Han Ge Lao sent a letter, saying that his adopted son Xu Nangui wants the Northern God Capital, and he will pass by Zhongdu halfway, and he hopes that I will receive one or two, what do you think?"

The veteran surnamed Ci Ziyi was stunned for a moment, and said: "If that Xu Gongzi wants to go north to the capital, he can go directly to the Dongjiang Grand Canal, and it is really not possible to take the sea, so why bother to pass through our northwest inland, this is probably the drunkard's intention is not to drink." ”

Wen Ci has heard of the name of this Xu Gongzi, not because of how Xu Beiyou is in Jiangdu, but because Xu Beiyou is expected to be the third emperor of the imperial court, and the identities of the first two emperors and sons-in-law are already Xuanhe to the extreme, which invisibly gives the word "emperor son-in-law" a different meaning, and what height this third emperor can go to is really exciting.

Zhang Wuxian sighed and said: "I have an old relationship with Xu Nan, and there is no reason to avoid him, but once I see him, many things will inevitably be put on the surface, before the layer of window paper is pierced, you can still pretend not to see or hear, but once you pierce the window paper, there is no room for maneuver." ”

Wen Ci hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "The subordinates have more words, in terms of the current situation of the governor, it is no longer possible to look on the wall like the governor of the capital, rather than offending both ends by not relying on both ends, it is better to completely fall to the side, and the governor should make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Wuxi was silent.

Since the death of Xu Lin, Wei Ban has become the second governor of the capital, above the five governors of the left, sitting in the imperial capital to take charge of the governor's mansion, which is the pinnacle of thousands of military attachés.

Now that Wei Ban, the governor of the capital, is not in the imperial capital, but sits in southern Xinjiang, concurrently leading the post of the former military governor of the left capital, going deep into the 100,000 mountains and hundreds of miles, and continuing to sweep away the remnants of the barbarians in southern Xinjiang, he can naturally ignore the court disputes, and Zhang Wuxian cannot be compared with Wei Ban regardless of qualifications, military exploits or power, so he naturally does not dare to ask for Wei Ban's detachment.

Zhang Wuxian thought about it for a while, and ordered: "Whether it is Han Ge's face or Xu Nangui's affection, I will definitely see it, but even if I want to fall to one of them, I can't do it overnight. ”

Wen Ci said in a deep voice: "No." ”

Zhang Wuxi waved his hand, "Okay, you can go." ”

Wen Ci slowly exited the study.

After Wen Ci retreated, Zhang Wuxian sat behind the bookcase and habitually rubbed his forehead.

He never likes to owe favors, many years ago Han Xuan was kind to him, so he became a member of the Han Party, many years later, Lan Yu took a fancy to him, so he recommended him in advance as the governor of the left army, although he knew the key, but he still did not want to confront this benefactor head-on.

Thinking of this, he suddenly missed Wei Wuji a little, when the two of them worked together in the past, one moved his mouth, one did his hands, one worked hard, and one labored, usually Wei Wuji decided which city to fight, and then Zhang Wuji decided how to fight, so Xiao Huang said that Zhang Wuji was a general and not a handsome talent.

It's a pity, after twenty years of estrangement, no matter how deep the affection is, it is inevitable that it will be weak, and today's Wei Wuji is no longer the Wei Xianji of the past, just as he Zhang Wuji is no longer the Zhang Dingguo of the year.

Zhang Wuxian leaned back in his chair and muttered, "Left or right?"
