Chapter 1261: The distinguished guests come, the Shiquan army gathers
Chapter 1261: Distinguished guests arrive, Shi Quanjun gathers together
"Before, I thought that everyone was just holding a head with two hands and fighting to the death. Who is any worse than the other?
However, facing the commander-in-chief, I have to admit that facing an enemy like the commander-in-chief, I might not even know how to die."
Both Xin Qiji and Xin Qiji also nodded. Shen Tang's prowess on the battlefield needs no further explanation. It has been proven many times in battles.
While the three of them were talking, suddenly, the door of the small courtyard opened, and one of Shao Hongyuan's personal guards hurried in.
"Meet the generals!"
"how?
Didn’t the general say that?
Don't disturb my enjoyment today?
If General Xin and General Bian are not happy with their drinks, be careful and I will punish them according to law!"
"This...general, someone came and said he was the general's distinguished guest..."
"What kind of distinguished guest! My distinguished guest is here, go... Just say that I don't have time!"
Shao Hongyuan waved his hands impatiently. When talking among their brothers, no matter how big the matter is, they have to be postponed. As for the distinguished guests, who is Shao Hongyuan's distinguished guest in Chengdu Mansion?
"Not bad, I didn't expect that Hong Yuan's temper would get a lot worse after not seeing him for several years.
It seems that I came at the wrong time!"
A slightly old voice came suddenly. When Shao Hongyuan and others heard this familiar voice, they turned around in shock, only to see an old man wearing a thin jacket pushing open the door and entering!
In an instant, the three people stood up and greeted him happily.
"Final generals Shao Hongyuan, Bian Xi, and Xin Qiji pay their respects to the commander-in-chief!"
In the mouths of these three people, the one who is called the commander-in-chief is Shen Tang, and the other is their old boss Zhang Jun! And this unknown person is the one who returned from Lin'an. Zhang Jun.
Originally, Zhang Jun was going to Chengdu Prefecture, but just when he was about to enter the boundary of Chengdu Prefecture Road, an order from the court came over, asking him to divert to Lizhou and cooperate with Wu Lin to prevent the Jin from starting a war.
The place of Shiquan is at the northern end of Chengdu Fu Road, at the junction with Lizhou. His old subordinates are stationed here. Zhang Jun naturally came here directly, but he did not expect that Bian Xi and Xin Qiji were also there.
"Commander, why are you here!"
The three of them helped Zhang Jun into the courtyard and sat down on the main seat.
Zhang Jun waved his hand towards the stunned guards on the side, "Little boy, go feed my horse and let Yifu come here to find me!"
When he arrived at Chengdu Mansion, the old housekeeper Zhang Yifu would naturally come to join him. In fact, upon hearing the news of Zhang Jun's return, Zhang Yifu had already inquired about Zhang Jun's movements through the Shao family caravan. Before Zhang Jun arrived, he He had already taken people to Tongchuan Mansion to meet Zhang Jun, and then arrived all the way here.
"The villain meets the commander-in-chief!"
The guard saluted excitedly. Zhang Jun had not gotten out of the car before. He did not expect that the person coming was actually this legendary figure.
"Okay, you little soldier, I will go north to Lizhou in a while. Hong Yuan and I will talk to you, and you will bring someone to act as my personal guard."
"Thank you, Marshal!"
The guard beamed with joy, "I will protect the commander-in-chief to the death."
Zhang Jun traveled to various battlefields in the North for many years, and insisted on the Northern Expedition. His status in the army was almost unmatched by anyone.
And in the eyes of these ordinary soldiers, he was indeed a legendary general.
After a few people sat down, Zhang Jun just said, "Hey, I originally wanted to go home to retire, but on the way, I received an order from the Holy Emperor, asking me to go north to Lizhou to help Wu Lin defend the Sichuan and Shu areas to prevent The Jin soldiers invaded.
So, I got here first."
After a few people heard about it, they knew the reason.
"How about it? If the troops and horses under your command go north, they will be able to fight!"
Zhang Jun asked with a smile.
"Commander, I now have 20,000 soldiers and 7,000 horses under my command! We train every day and are ready to go to war at any time!"
Shao Hongyuan said first.
"Commander, the situation of the soldiers and horses under the general's command is basically the same as that of General Shao. They are all elite soldiers and generals. Even in a head-on battle with the same number of elite golden soldiers, the general has a six-point chance of winning!"
"Commander, I have General Xin under his command. He has 23,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 horses. I think he is no worse than the two of them!"
"In addition, the troops and horses of the divisions and heroes stationed in the south are slightly inferior to ours, but their combat power cannot be underestimated."
After listening to what a few people said, Zhang Jun took a sip of wine silently, feeling shocked and relieved!
"I think back then, if we had such a few troops during the Northern Expedition, we would probably be able to fight some tough battles with the Jin people!"
Zhang Jun said with emotion.
Although all the soldiers from all over the world were gathered at that time, the actual combat power available was not that much.
Therefore, after leaving Sizhou, Zhang Jun was extremely powerless in the face of the Jin's field battle. He could only rely on huge numbers to defend the Sizhou area, but it was extremely difficult to advance his troops northward.
"Commander, our soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty will become more and more powerful!"
Bian Xi said forcefully.
Not only Zhang Jun could not imagine it, but also how could they have imagined that they would be able to achieve this today?
In the battle at Tongbai Mountain, Bian Xi's Zaoyang Army and Ji Rong's Wuwei Army only had more than a thousand cavalry in total, and the so-called war horses were all inferior horses, even mules! To this day, Bian Xi still remembers that he
When Zhan obtained the Jin Ren Shu's thousand war horses, he was so excited and unbelievable.
Without him, war horses were too rare in the Song Dynasty.
As for the Northern Expedition that year, Zhang Jun had an army of 300,000 to 400,000 men. The number of cavalry was not comparable to the current Chengdu Prefecture, and the combat power was even worse.
"good!"
Zhang Jun nodded vigorously, "We in the Song Dynasty still have you and Shen Tang. In ten years, Shen Tang will be able to lead you to conquer the north and south, and no one will be our opponent."
"I have good news for you. Our racecourse now has more than 10,000 war horses! In a few years, our Song Dynasty will no longer be short of war horses."
Shen Tang's greatest achievement on his northward mission to the Kingdom of Jin was naturally to bring glory to the Song Dynasty, and the second was the thousands of uncastrated war horses he brought back. With these war horses as seeds, Zhang Jun asked his confidants to carefully breed them.
, now it finally has some results.
"This should come to light!"
When several people heard this, they were naturally extremely happy. In their eyes, those war horses were far more attractive than the so-called gold and silver.
"Today, you guys will have a nice drink with me!"
Zhang Jun said cheerfully, "In order to escape, that kid ran far away to the Northland, causing me to run around here. You all deserve to be punished. When that kid comes back, let him come to me to receive the punishment first."
Punishment.”
Everyone burst into laughter. Everyone knew Zhang Jun’s love for Shen Tang. The reason why Shen Tang could rise was due to his ability and achievements, but Zhang Jun’s strong support was indispensable!
