Chapter 1262: Zhang Jun's guess, the comfort of the old coach
Chapter 1262: Zhang Jun’s guess, the old commander’s relief
When he heard what Xin Qiji mentioned about the news he had received, Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment, then threw his head back and laughed.
"If it were other people, maybe they wouldn't be able to do this kind of thing, but when it comes to this little soldier, I'm not surprised at all!"
Zhang Jun said with a smile.
Although Wu Lin is now a high-ranking member of the party, there is no problem in calling Zhang Jun this way.
Not to mention Wu Lin, even his brother Wu Jie would respectfully salute and call him "Old Marshal" when he came in front of Zhang Jun.
In terms of age, Zhang Jun is a few years younger than Wu Jie and a few years older than Wu Lin. However, Wu Jie's appointment and gradually establishing a foothold in the army have a great relationship with Zhang Jun's support.
, as for Wu Lin, in Zhang Jun's eyes back then, she was just a reckless recruit.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Jun said slowly, "I have always understood Tang Qing's thoughts. This northwest land is different for him!"
"Back then, during the battle at Xianren Pass, Jin Qing was injured and fell ill, and died prematurely a few years later. Tang Qing had a great obsession with this northern land! If it had been okay in the earlier years, he would have thought about the overall situation, and naturally
It won't move lightly.
However, not only am I old now, but that reckless boy back then also has a head full of white beards!"
"If he couldn't go to the North to have a look before he died, he wouldn't be able to rest in peace! In addition to that reckless old master Yu Yunwen, it goes without saying that they must have caused the trouble in the northwest."
"I see!"
When several people heard Zhang Jun's words, they suddenly realized!
"Commander, since the cause of this incident is on our side, why didn't the Jin people send an envoy to come to An'an to explain the matter?
It is true that the Jin Kingdom is stronger than our Song Dynasty, but judging from the current overall situation, the Jin people should not be in a hurry to start a war with our Song Dynasty."
Xin Qiji asked doubtfully.
"There are some things you don't know!"
Zhang Jun said with a smile.
"Before I came here, I got a lot of news.
For example, the Western Route Army of the Jin Dynasty changed its commander before the battle! According to the decree of the Jin Emperor, Tu Shan Kening was directly removed from his position due to poor defense, and he was punished when he returned. Yi Ci Wo Wo was appointed as the new commander, and he was fully responsible for the Song Dynasty.
war!"
Several people were shocked when they heard this. They had indeed never heard of this matter.
"Commander, although the last general is not familiar with Tu Dankening, it is said that he is the golden emperor's confidant and favorite general. Furthermore, the war has not officially started yet, how can he be charged with such a serious crime?"
Zhang Jun rubbed his palm on the wine glass for a long time, and then said slowly, "I have also suspected this for a long time. However, just a few days ago, I received a secret report from the Kingdom of Jin, and I suddenly realized it.
This time, Tang Qing fell into the trap. He thought that everything was in his hands, whether it was war or peace, but in fact, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom was the one who really controlled the overall situation."
"As you said, if the Jin people don't want to start a war, and the Jin Emperor arrives in Lin'an with his credentials, no matter what Tang Qing and the old master do, the civil and military officials of the entire court will oppose it, and His Majesty will hesitate in his heart.
However, according to my calculation, this time, the Emperor of Jin used Tang Qing's hand to kill people with a borrowed knife to eliminate internal troubles."
Seeing that several people were still confused, Zhang Jun said again, "I have received a secret report. This Yiciwowo has a high status in the Jin Kingdom, and he was an important minister of Wan Yanliang back then. The current Jin Emperor has always wanted to get rid of him.
, but there is no suitable opportunity.
Now, you understand..."
Everyone's expressions were condensed, and Shao Hongyuan said in a solemn voice, "This Golden Emperor has such great confidence!"
Isn't it?
The war between the two countries was a matter of life and death, but the Golden Emperor was allowed to use it as a borrowed knife to kill people. In other words, no matter what the mess in the northwest became in the future, he was confident enough to clean it up.
"Why didn't the commander mention this to His Majesty?"
Zhang Jun shook his head, "It's hard to say whether His Majesty believes these things. After all, everything is just my guess. In addition, if I mentioned it to Your Majesty, wouldn't it mean that Tang Qing and the old Master were directly sold?
It is indeed not suitable for the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty to start a war, but it is not impossible to test each other.
Taking this opportunity, we can also see whether the strength of the Jin Kingdom is improving or declining."
"In addition, it can be regarded as fulfilling Tang Qing's wish! If what I guess is true, then we will definitely win at the beginning of the war. When they change their commanders again, we will really start the war."
Having said this, Zhang Jun smiled slightly, "Besides, if this battle doesn't start, how will that boy Shen Tang have a good time to come back?"
"ah!"
The three of them were startled, and then asked anxiously, "Will Marshal Shen Tang come back?"
Do you want to participate in this battle?"
Zhang Jun shook his head, "We must admit that the strength of the Jin Kingdom is indeed stronger than ours now. Your troops and Wu Lin's Lizhou soldiers are almost the top combat power of our Song Dynasty. But even so, really
A full-scale field battle with the Jin Kingdom, but the chance of victory is slim!"
"Moreover, if you all go to the battlefield, even if you really win, it will definitely be a tragedy.
By then, the top combat power of our Great Song Dynasty will be wiped out, and won’t all the snakes, rats, and cow gods around us jump out?”
"If this war goes according to my speculation, Tang Qing and I will be enough at the beginning. In fact, I don't even intend to let you soldiers go to participate in the war.
However, when the Golden Emperor finishes the matter, there will definitely be an elite army sweeping in. Since they were defeated in the first battle, how can the Golden Emperor not recover the situation with the face of the Golden Emperor?"
"Although I don't want to admit it when the time comes, I predict that it will be difficult for us to win!"
"It's easy to say that everything is going well, but if we are retreating steadily and the Jin people are forced too hard, who do you think His Majesty will think of?
Who is best placed to resolve this dispute?"
Several people's eyes lit up. Zhang Jun and Wu Lin were the mainstays of the army. If they couldn't handle it then, who else in the entire Song Dynasty would be able to take on this mess?
No matter in terms of identity or ability, I am afraid that the only one who is far away in the north is Shen Tang.
By then, His Majesty will definitely try his best to get Shen Tang back. Moreover, given Shen Tang's nature, if he knew that the Song Dynasty was defeated, he would come back automatically.
"Hahaha!"
Xin Qiji raised his head and laughed, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp!
And Zhang Jun, looking at these high-spirited subordinates, was also very relieved. Now he is old, but the Song Dynasty is not old. It is still full of vitality. With Shen Tang and these people in front of him, the Song Dynasty still has his
Protector, these people will still fight to the death for him for the Song Dynasty. His era has passed, but these new heroes of the Song Dynasty will definitely do better than him.
