At the court meeting the next day, everyone in the court was silent! Because the Tubo clan had made a choice for them, and the Song Dynasty only had the right to accept it, but not the power to change it!
"Your Majesty, I immediately gathered a large number of troops and rushed to Chengdu in person to drive the Tubo clan out of our Song Dynasty.
In addition, please give me half a day, Your Majesty, to deal with the Tubo clan, there may not be any way!"
Just when everyone was silent, Zhang Jun suddenly left work and said loudly to Zhao Shen.
After the words fell, Zhang Jun bowed and then walked out of the court hall.
Facing Zhang Jun's departure, Zhao Shen sighed lightly and did not stop him! Now, other than fighting to the death, can he really ask for peace from Tubo?
Once he really seeks peace, all his efforts since taking office will be in vain.
After Zhang Jun left the court, he did not go anywhere else, but hurried directly towards his mansion.
Returning to the mansion, he came to the courtyard where Shen Tang was.
"Sir, why are you back so early?"
These days, Zhang Jun has to wait until evening to return from going to court almost every day, but now, it's not even noon yet.
Facing Shen Tang's question, Zhang Jun took a deep breath, and then bowed to the end, "Shen Tang, the situation in Chengdu Prefecture is out of control now. If there is really a way, you can tell me.
If not, then I will immediately gather my troops and go to Chengdu to fight the Tubo clan to the death."
"Zhang Xiang!"
Shen Tang hurried forward, directly dragged Zhang Jun, and then pulled him into the study. After he sat down, he said with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhang, I do have some guesses, but if I If the speculation is true, then it may not make much sense for us to send more troops there for the time being."
"Shen Tang, at this time, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Zhang Jun said in a solemn voice, "Don't worry, if you have any responsibilities, I will take them all and no one will slander you."
Seeing Zhang Jun's determined look, Shen Tang sighed softly, then stood up and took out a road map of Chengdu from the side.
"Zhang Xiang, look at the two positions!"
Shen Tang pointed to the two marked locations on the map and said to Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun looked over and said casually, "Isn't this the place where we were ambushed twice?
how?
In addition to being secretive and having complex terrain, are there other secrets about these two locations?"
Shen Tang shook his head, "Prime Minister Zhang, the terrain of these two locations is extremely complicated. Not to mention the Tubo clan who are not familiar with the situation, even the soldiers and horses we sent will not be easy to figure out the situation in these two locations.
Then, why can the Tubo army set up ambushes at these two locations?"
Hearing Shen Tang's words, Zhang Jun was startled at first, and then a look of extreme shock appeared on his face.
"Shen Tang, you mean..."
Shen Tang nodded slightly, "Yes, if I guessed correctly, it is very likely that many other tribes in Chengdu Fulu have secretly taken refuge with the Tubo clan.
In other words, they have already reached some secret agreement.
Otherwise, General Shao would not have been defeated like this, and the tens of thousands of troops behind us would not have just entered Chengdu Mansion, only to be ambushed by the opponent without any resistance."
Shen Tang's words made Zhang Jun's expression change drastically, because if the local tribes rebelled, things would be even more troublesome.
There are countless Tibetan armies outside, and there are rebels who are familiar with the situation in Chengdu Prefecture. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Jun and others' hope of taking back Chengdu Prefecture will be extremely difficult!
"So, in addition to the Tibetan army, our enemies may also include these local tribes."
Shen Tang said in a condensed voice.
"so what should I do now?"
Zhang Jun's heart sank to the bottom of his heart! "Now we don't have many troops to gather, and we are short of food, grass and weapons. Under this situation, there is little hope even against the Tubo clan. If we add these rebellions, is there really no hope?" ?”
Seeing the sad look on Zhang Jun's face, Shen Tang suddenly made a decision!
"Xiang Zhang, please lead me to see His Majesty!"
"ah?"
Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment, but then he shook his head gently and said, "Shen Tang, I'll tell your Majesty about this matter.
If the local tribe is really involved, then this matter will almost involve the entire court.
You have to know, which one of those tribes does not have the support of someone above the court?
Even I am familiar with several small tribes.
Therefore, speaking out about this matter means taking on a huge responsibility."
"The old man is already old and will not live for a few more days after all.
Even if other people were dissatisfied, they would not dare to do anything to me.
However, you are different. This force does not even distinguish between the warring faction or the peace-promoting faction. It involves too many people. Once you expose it, you will definitely have troubles in the future."
"Of course, the most important thing is that we are no longer sure of winning this battle.
If victory can be ensured, then with the power of victory, His Majesty will wipe out the Chengdu Prefecture in one fell swoop, and it will even be more stable than before.
But once it fails, all the blame will fall on the person who created the cause.
Therefore, only I am responsible for this matter!"
"Why!"
Shen Tang sighed softly, although he did not agree with some of Zhang Jun's methods.
However, Shen Tang couldn't bear to disappoint such a person who wholeheartedly served the country and the people!
brush!
Shen Tang stood up, bowed to Zhang Jun and said, "Prime Minister Zhang, only I can do this."
"Firstly, when it comes to the ability to command troops, Shen Tang is not boasting. At least among the current generals, there are few who can beat me, Shen Tang! How about the battle of Lingbi?
Aren't tens of thousands of golden soldiers defeated?
How was the Battle of Sizhou?
I, Shen Tang, don’t need to go there, we just need to make some plans to give us an advantage.
Moreover, does Prime Minister Zhang know my record in Xijing of the Kingdom of Jin?
I started with more than 10,000 Jin troops, but in the end, nearly 100,000 Xixia allied troops and Mongolian troops died in my hands.
It can be said that with my own efforts, Shen Tang, I was able to put down the chaos in Xijing."
"Otherwise, why does Prime Minister Zhang think I can be respected by countless soldiers of the Jin Kingdom?
How can I marry the Golden Emperor’s favorite princess?”
"Xiang Zhang, I naturally have many warriors in the Great Song Dynasty, but who can have such achievements as I, Shen Tang?"
Zhang Jun shook his head subconsciously! Since the Song Dynasty crossed south, except for the four ZTE generals led by Yue Fei, who may have had some good results, after that, even Zhang Jun was mediocre in the battle against the Jin army!
"In addition, there is the most important point! No matter what is involved in the Chengdu Mansion this time, we still need enough troops and supplies if we want to win.
But now, our Song Dynasty is unable to do this in a short period of time.
