Chapter 1665: Xia Liao sends troops and Chen Junqing arrives
Zhang Hua's strategic purpose is also very obvious. It is obvious that he first wants to capture Deshun Prefecture and Qinzhou to the west of the Big and Small Long Mountains, and then use these two places as a springboard to pursue Pingliang Prefecture, Longzhou, Fengxiang Prefecture, etc. All lands.
There is no danger to defend the land in these two states. Tu Dankening obviously expected this. Therefore, he did not even think about using the land in these two states to stop the Xia Liao soldiers and horses. Instead, he stationed the main force in Pingliang Mansion. area.
Therefore, with the Jin Kingdom's troops willing to give in, it would not be difficult for the Xia and Liao side to capture Qinzhou and Deshun Prefecture.
As for Shen Tang, regarding the war between the Jin Kingdom and Xia Liao, he was just watching a show! Anyway, neither side would take the initiative to come to start a war with him. He was firmly in charge of Lintao Road, so why not?
You only need to wait for the long-term worker in front to finish the work and receive the results yourself. This way, although there is no battle to fight, it can also save the brothers under his command from the pain of fierce battles.
As for food, military pay, etc., Shen Tang is really not in short supply.
Not long ago, the enemy once again sent military pay and food, and Shen Tang accepted it with joy. It can be said that Shen Tang has never fought such an easy battle.
Someone helped fight for the territory, someone helped deliver money and food, I took my brothers to eat, drink and watch a show, and then received the results of the battle. As expected, everyone's joys and sorrows were different...
"Commander, Deputy Chen Junqing's team is about fifty miles away from the camp. They should arrive before sunset tomorrow!"
Bi Zaiyu entered the big tent and said to Shen Tang.
Why did Chen Junqing arrive so late?
Firstly, of course, he had brought some food and grass with him, so his movement was extremely slow. Secondly, he also needed to procure some food and grass from several state capitals he passed, so he did not arrive until this time.
Moreover, he had already gone to Zhang Jun's camp before heading north towards Shen Tang's camp.
"Well! Tomorrow you take people ten miles out of the camp to greet you. I can just greet you directly outside the camp!"
Bi Zaiyu nodded and accepted the order.
After noon the next day, Bi Zaiyu led a thousand cavalry and headed south.
After running for more than ten miles, we saw a huge motorcade slowly moving forward in the distance.
Bi Zaiyu rode up to meet him. After a moment of panic, the team on the opposite side also hurriedly formed a formation!
"I am Bi Zaiyu, a subordinate of Marquis Zhongwu. Is this where the deputy envoy Chen Junqing is?"
Just as he was talking, a horse was riding quickly from the opposite side. When he got closer, the general on horseback laughed loudly and responded, "General Xiao Si, pay your respects to General Bi! General Zhang has been ordered to escort Mr. Chen here!"
When Bi met again, he also laughed and got off his horse, "It turns out to be your boy."
This young man is the general of the Lizhou Army. When Wu Lin went to Fengxiang Mansion in the north, he used the prince's guard of honor as a bait, and it was Xiao Si who led the troops to protect him. At that time, he used the iron barrel formation to challenge the Jin Kingdom's cavalry charge, which shows his bravery and use of troops. So powerful.
At that time, Bi Zaiyu was sent to Zhang Jun's command, so he got acquainted with Xiao Si!
"General, Lord Chen Junqing is in the carriage at the rear!"
Afterwards, Xiao Si led Bi Zaiyu forward.
Seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Si took two steps closer and whispered to Bi Zaiyu, "In our camp before, Mr. Chen Junqing had some trouble with Zhang Shuai. When he came here, he had to be cautious. two."
Bi Zaiyu raised his eyes and said disdainfully, "What?
Does he dare to be so arrogant in front of the commander?
If you know what's interesting, that's all. If you can't tell the priorities, even if the commander doesn't tell you, who among the tens of thousands of Chengdu elites on Lintao Road can spare him?"
Xiao Si chuckled and said, "That's right. What kind of person is Marshal Shen, such an old master can question?"
Civil and military officials have always looked down upon each other. The military commanders and civil servants are weak and cowardly, while the civil servants and military commanders are vulgar and vulgar. From the top to the generals and ministers, down to the soldiers and soldiers, this is the case for everyone.
For warriors like Xiao Si, commanders like Zhang Jun and Shen Tang were fought to the death in battles, but people like Chen Junqing only read some so-called sages' books, how can they be convinced?
Therefore, the slightest dispute will arouse their hostility.
When the two came to a carriage, Xiao Si cupped his hands and said, "Master Chen, General Bi Zaiyu is here to greet you!"
A book boy on the carriage opened the curtain, and a solemn old man looked out?
"Under the command of the Xuanfu Envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi Province, the personal guard commander Bi Zaiyu has been ordered to come to greet you!"
This old man was Chen Junqing, who had come all the way from afar. He frowned slightly when he heard this, "Is Commander Shen so busy with military affairs?"
Bi Zaiyu sneered in his heart, this was indeed a sign of bad intentions, but he didn't care and just said lightly, "Of course the general doesn't know whether our general is busy or not.
However, the commander-in-chief personally sent his generals and thousands of cavalry to greet you, which shows how much the commander-in-chief respects Mr. Chen!"
His words made Xiao Si beside him almost feel remorseful and silently gave a thumbs up!
However, Bi Zaiyu's words are not unreasonable. Shen Tang is the commander in chief here, and everyone is under him. He can come to greet him and give the visitor face, but even if he just sits in the big tent and waits, it doesn't matter. Not reasonable.
"Hmph! The soldiers are vulgar and they really don't know etiquette. It's a pity that Shen Tang was also the number one scholar back then!"
Bi Zaiyu burst out laughing when he heard this, "Master Chen, when he lowers his rank and slanders his superior rank, is this a sign of etiquette?
Moreover, our brothers in the army are indeed vulgar, but it was these men who protected you when you traveled thousands of miles and entered the North."
"Otherwise, with your courage, standing on the ground on Lintao Road, I really don't know if you will pee your pants!"
As soon as he said this, the soldiers around him couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Chen Junqing's face was ashen, but Bi Zaiyu didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and shouted directly, "Come here, escort our Lord Chen to the camp to see the commander-in-chief!"
Everyone responded immediately, and Bi Zaiyu also directly mounted his horse and stepped forward to lead the way. Moreover, he winked at a personal guard and went back to report to Shen Tang. This offended Chen Junqing as soon as they met, and he must let Shen Tang know about it. Just fine.
In the central army tent, Shen Tang was discussing with the generals the recent movements of Xia and Liao troops. When Bi Zaiyu's personal guard returned and told Shen Tang what happened, all the generals in the camp were furious. If it weren't for Shen Tang didn't say anything. I'm afraid someone might not be able to bear it and lead his troops directly to teach Mr. Chen a lesson.
Don't think that these people are as obedient as quails under Shen Tang's command. Which general in the army is not a little bit angry?
How can you allow others to question your commander-in-chief?
After hearing this, Shen Tang just smiled slightly. It seems that Chen Junqing, an old master, has not positioned himself properly at all. Do you really think that anyone can seize power and suppress you?
Just a joke?
If so, why do you control these tens of thousands of tiger and wolf soldiers?
