Chapter 901: Dun: I dont even know if what I am doing is right or wrong...
Starting from Detective Li Yuanfang Chapter 901 Chapter Dun: I don’t even know if what I am doing is right or wrong...
“Brother Gongming is back—Brother Gongming is back—!
"
When Song Jiang returned to the Song Army's camp, there was a sensation throughout the army.
Firstly, Li Kui's loud voice spread everywhere in the shortest time, and secondly, Song Jiang's ability to survive at the hands of "Zuo Ming" was beyond everyone's expectations.
Therefore, except for Li Kui, Song Qing and other seven brothers who rushed over in ecstasy, and Sun Erniang, the god-sister, the eyes of the other Song generals did not show much joy, but instead showed scrutiny and suspicion.
Song Jiang understood what these looks meant, and he also knew that although "Zuo Ming" had given him a way out, the trouble he would face next would not necessarily be better than immediate death, and he might even be ruined, so it would be better to die early.
However, he was a determined man, and without showing any signs of strangeness on his face, he came to Li Kui and others and hugged them one by one: "Brothers, don't worry, I, Song Jiang, will not be knocked down so easily. You see, I am not unscathed."
Are you back?"
"Haha! My brother is indeed a great hero!"
The crowd gathered around Song Jiang and burst into hearty and enthusiastic laughter, which also spread in all directions, which dispelled the doubts of many soldiers.
If Song Jiang had a ghost in his heart, it is unlikely that he would behave like this. It seems that this person really escaped from death. Many generals who originally looked down on this low-level official and rose rapidly also had feelings for this black and short man.
admiration.
After all, Song Ting suffered too many losses at the hands of "Zuo Ming". At present, it seems that the possibility of defeat is really low, but it would be a good thing to escape from his clutches and make the opponent suffer a defeat and lose his prestige.
As long as Song Jiang carefully reports on how to escape, his prestige in the court and the army will skyrocket...
"What! 'Zuo Ming' just let my brother go?"
Also curious were Li Kui and others. They couldn't wait to ask after entering the tent, and then received an incredible answer.
Everyone was dumbfounded at first. Mu Hong and Deng Fei, who reacted the fastest, quickly exclaimed: "Brother, you must not say this to others!"
Song Jiang whispered: "I know your concerns, but making up lies about this kind of thing will only lead to endless troubles. I have to tell you how I came out!"
Everyone quickly understood the crisis, and they all said: "But these proud and powerful generals of the Western Army are not convinced by my brother. When they heard the 'Zuo Ming' and released my brother, why don't they use it as an excuse?"
"If rumors really spread, Mr. Zhang might not be able to save his brother. After all, so many generals in the army have surrendered to the Yan army..."
"Who dares to slander my brother, Tieniu will chop him down!"
Song Jiang pressed his hand: "Don't worry, I'm going to see Mr. Zhang right away. Not only for myself, but also where to go next. I really don't understand. The only one who can clear my doubts now is Mr. Zhang!"
…
"Gongming, you came at the right time!"
Zhang Dun looked at Song Jiang, who had arrived quickly, and after listening to the general cause and effect, he gave an answer: "The ever-changing situation in Jingxiang, the battle for Xiangyang City, the failure of peace talks and alliances, the demise of Mingzun Sect, all these are actually the same.
The Yan army has the advantage, and it is a huge advantage! It is no longer necessary for our army to continue fighting with Fang La. As for how to win, to tell you the truth, I don’t know!"
Song Jiang's heart sank, and then he saw Zhang Dun breathing slightly, and said weakly: "Gongming, please tell me again what you saw in Xiangyang City in detail. I am old and can't remember..."
Song Jiang managed to calm down and told Zhang Dun exactly what he saw in Xiangyang City.
What the prime minister was most concerned about was obviously the administrative efficiency of the secret department under the Dudu Mansion. After repeatedly asking for details, he sighed: "This is only in Xiangyang, supervised by people like Zuo Ming and other foreigners, and it is so efficient.
, if it were at the feet of King Yan of Yanjing, I don’t know what it would look like..."
Song Jiang hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, I have already thought clearly on the way here. This move may be a plan of 'Zuo Ming'. After he kidnapped me and saw the strength of the Yan army, he released me again."
It is to make us fearful and think that the Yan army is invincible. It is a tactic to defeat the enemy without fighting. We must not be fooled!"
Zhang Dun said: "Now I can only think like this..."
Song Jiang's cheek muscles twitched.
Reason told him that there was almost no possibility that "Zuo Ming" was doing anything deliberate. The other party seemed to appreciate him somewhat, but obviously did not value him. And his status and record were indeed not enough for a legendary rebel to take him seriously.
, and let it go.
So what I just said is a comfort to deceive myself and others? It is really ridiculous and sad...
Song Jiang finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked miserably: "Mr. Zhang, if the Yan court is really in great power, the Yan army is so brave, and the Jingxiang barrier is half broken, wouldn't we be doomed to lose?"
Ranwen
Zhang Dun said: "Don't belittle the opponent, and don't overestimate the enemy. The Yan court has only been established for less than a year. It may be able to improve its shortcomings and have a new look, but it will definitely not be a great victory. The Yan army is brave now, but can it be
It is still unclear whether we can adapt to the symptoms of acclimatization and stick to Xiangyang for a long time."
"The general trend of the world is constantly changing. You never know what accidents will happen to the enemy and us tomorrow, so it is definitely too early to talk about absolute victory or defeat at this time. However, the Yan army does have the upper hand, and it is difficult for us to find a chance to win!"
Song Jiang nodded repeatedly: "That's good...that's good!"
Zhang Dun looked at him: "Gongming, you know, maybe 'Zuo Ming' didn't intend to use a trick, but he took you to Xiangyang, and your original firm belief no longer existed..."
Song Jiang's expression changed again, and he subconsciously wanted to defend himself, but in the end he sighed and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhang is aware of everything. I thought that although the Song Dynasty was temporarily in decline, there would always be a day when the rebels could be suppressed. Previously, Fang La's army
No matter how arrogant I am, I am confident that I can defeat the bandits..."

"It wasn't until I actually saw the Yan army that I understood why they were able to defeat the Liao army and conquer Yanyun, why they were able to attack everywhere and were invincible, and why they allowed the Xi
The army surrendered and was willing to betray the imperial court..."
"I really have no confidence. After fighting such a bandit army, I should never be shaken!"
After these heart-wrenching words, Song Jiang looked at Zhang Dun expectantly: "I'm sorry to be disrespected, but I dare to ask Zhang Gong, how can he always be firm in his heart and never waver?"
Zhang Dun shook his head: "Who told you that I always have a firm belief? You asked the wrong person. In fact, I still don't know whether what I did is right or wrong..."
Song Jiang was stunned.
In order to show his trust in this person, there was no one else in the tent, so Zhang Dun spoke without hesitation: "It's strange, isn't it? I support the imperial court so wholeheartedly. I should be unswerving. But in fact, I have wavered so many times.
I’m afraid there are more than you!”
"The late emperor passed away without any sons and no edicts. He asked the Queen Mother to choose Prince Duan as his heir, but I disagreed. After the emperor succeeded to the throne, I became even more dissatisfied with his irresponsible and frivolous behavior. Later, he was demoted and released.
I am more happy than worried..."
"This time I was ordered to return to the court to pay homage to the prime minister. I know that there are many dangers. The temperament of the official family will never give in on such matters. Even I can recall the court. It shows that the situation is so bad that the country is on the verge of subjugation!"
"Even so, this official also has deep fears. If he had military power at this time, he would probably put me to death long ago!"
Song Jiang's face turned pale when he heard this. He never expected that Zhang Dun would accuse the current emperor like this, but then he would accuse the Northern Emperor Jian of being fake. This contradictory behavior made him confused: "
Then why did Mr. Zhang do this?"
Zhang Dun gave a very simple but unshakable reason: "It is a matter of eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. I have experienced Renzong, Yingzong, Shenzong, Zhezong in my life, and now I have been in the Five Dynasties. I deeply appreciate the emperor's kindness and repay the favor."
They are the first four officials, they are protecting the country of Zhao Song, and they will never surrender to those who destroyed the Song Dynasty!"
Song Jiang's body trembled and his eyes widened.
What Zhang Dun said makes sense, but it also makes people think a lot. Because Song Jiang has not yet entered the officialdom, and his official position is low, he obviously cannot be said to be deeply favored by Emperor Zhao and Song. In this way, isn't it possible...
But this is not what a prime minister can say. Could it be a test? It seems that Zhang Xianggong did not say anything on the surface, but he still had doubts about how he escaped from "Zuo Ming", so he deliberately said what he just said!
Zhang Dun had so much experience. He knew what Song Jiang was thinking just by looking at his expression. He said calmly: "Gong Ming still doesn't understand me. All the scholars and officials have accused me of being reckless, easy to follow joy and anger, and do whatever I want. I was very upset when I heard this before."
I was annoyed, but now I have looked away. What they said was true, and what I did was definitely not in line with the common custom!"
"You are young, talented, and have a bright future. All you have received is the favor of the emperor. No matter what decision you make in the future, I, Zhang Dun, will not blame you."
Song Jiang held his head and groaned: "Mr. Zhang, your words have completely confused me..."
Zhang Dunran said: "It's just a reflection. You can think of it as a test of whether your heart is firm. There will be more and more such tests in the future, and they will become more and more difficult!"
Song Jiang could no longer hide the conflict in his heart, and even shed tears in the corners of his eyes, and hissed: "I want to lead my brothers to build a successful career and honor our ancestors, but now that Brother Wang Ying died tragically and Jiangling City fell short, I feel that if this continues
, they will only go through a bitter battle and leave me one by one!"
"But we are the people of the Song Dynasty. What's wrong with dying for the imperial court? Loyal and righteous people, we care about life and death, abandon wealth and honor, and we must not rely on whoever is stronger!"
"But I really don't want the brothers to go down the road of no return..."
Regarding Song Jiang's collapse-like soliloquy, Zhang Dun didn't say a word and sat quietly the whole time.
Until Song Jiang slowly raised his head, his brows regained some of the previous determination, and said in a hoarse voice: "Be born as a minister of Song and die as a general of Song. This is my Song Jiang's path!"
Zhang Dun raised his glass and acknowledged it. There was no joy in his eyes, but a hint of sadness: "General Song is loyal and loyal!"
