Wang Shao and Wang Junwan were having a drink, and there were five or six beautiful men and women around them, urging them to drink with them.
In the center, a healthy soldier from the army was dancing with a sword, thinking that the two of them were drinking to cheer up.
Wang Shao is now trapped in the Danchang stronghold, which has not been completely defeated after a month of attack.
The land under his feet originally belonged to the Dangchang Kingdom. The Dangchang Kingdom was established by the ancient Qiang people during the Jin Dynasty. It was a thousand miles in diameter and had a population of only 100,000. It was conquered and destroyed during the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The local Dangchang Qiang, the Dengzhi Qiang in Jiezhou, and the Bailanqiang in Taozhou are all a branch of the Qingtang Tibetan tribe and have been accustomed to Tubo customs for a long time. Although these three tribes are not under Mu Zheng, they are still part of a tribal alliance.
After Muzheng joined forces with Dong Felt to make a comeback, the three Qiang tribes started a rebellion, making it impossible for Wang Shao and Wang Junwan's main force in Xihe to escape.
Wang Shao also wanted to fight, but the problem was that he was not familiar with the people, and the mountains here were obstacles, making it very inconvenient for a large army to attack.
The Song Army was not defeated but fell into the vast ocean of the People's War. Minzhou's high mountains and ridges made it impossible for the Song Army to escape for a while.
At the same time, Wang Shao's appointment as the Xihe Road Manager had high hopes, but it also came to nothing, which made him feel very unhappy.
"Report! Our army was ambushed ten miles away from the front camp, and fifty people were injured!"
Wang Shao smashed the wine bowl and said, "What are you doing for food?"
Wang Junwan said: "Deputy Commander, please calm down!"
After saying this, Wang Junwan asked Nu Le to pass on.
Wang Shao drank his wine and said, "It's really hateful. Now Minzhou is so worthless that it can't be swallowed, and it can't be retreated."
Wang Junwan said: "Deputy Commander, now that our army is trapped here, it is better to save Hezhou for the time being, so that we can also explain to the court."
Wang Shao said: "Don't I know? But Zhang... Zhang Longtu has a destiny, so that my army must not abandon Minzhou!"
Wang Junwan said: "What, Zhang Longtu's letter has arrived?"
Wang Shao said: "Yes, I don't quite understand the words in his letter."
Wang Junwan said: "The deputy commander is worried... that he will make things difficult for you after he takes office. This time he has the power to reward and dismiss all officials in his department!"
Wang Shao stretched out his hand and said: "Are you worried that he will dismiss me? What am I afraid of? When I built the stronghold in Guwei, and then Xihe became what it is now, who would dare to dismiss me with this great contribution?"
"Who among Xihe's generals and Fanshuai doesn't know my name, Wang Shao? How dare he depose me? If he deposes me, can the morale of the army be kept at bay?"
Wang Junwan said: "The deputy commander is right, if Zhang Longtu wants to convince people's hearts, he must be justified."
Wang Shao nodded and said: "That's right. Let's see if a scholar like Zhang Du can control a hundred thousand troops on Xihe Road and Qinfeng Road. Is it possible without me to help him suppress it?"
"Besides, it's not that I look down on him. What military strategies and general talents does he have? Which of these Xizhou, Hezhou, Huizhou, and Minzhou was not conquered by me, Wang Shao, with my own arrows? You let him try to lead the troops.
?At most one commanding force is enough to keep him busy."
Wang Junwan nodded after hearing Wang Shao's words. Yes, although Zhang Yue had the trust of officials, had a father-in-law who was a deputy privy envoy, and had a deep foundation in the court, his biggest shortcoming was that he did not know how to fight.
So when he was in Xihe, he had to rely on Wang Shao for everything. Now that he is paying homage to the general in Xihe again, he must rely on Wang Shao.
Wang Shao also saw this and felt confident.
At this time, there was a report from outside that Zhang Yue had arrived outside the Dangchang stronghold, and Wang Shao and Wang Junwan were invited to leave the stronghold to meet him.
Wang Junwan was surprised when he heard this and said to Wang Shao: "Isn't Zhang Longtu arriving only tomorrow?"
Wang Shao said: "I really can't figure out the other party's intention here. If he is angry with me, he is polite in every word in the letter."
"Then why did he not enter the stronghold, but asked the two of us to go out to meet him?" Wang Junwan asked.
Wang Shao said: "It's just putting on airs, I'm sorry he doesn't have the guts to do anything to us."
Zhang Yue is the head coach, so of course he has the right to meet Wang Shao and Wang Junwan anywhere and on any occasion.
Immediately Wang Shao and Wang Junwan ordered hundreds of cavalry to open the gate of the village and went to see Zhang Yue.
But seeing soldiers and horses stationed in front of them, the two of them asked and learned that it was actually the Peng Japanese Army, one of the Fourth Army, stationed here.
Wang Shao and Wang Jun had no idea that the emperor actually allocated all the Japanese troops to Zhang Yue.
Wang Shao and Wang Junwan were stopped outside the camp. Wang Junwan said angrily: "Do you know who we are? Why did the commander stop us when we came to see you?"
But when I saw the Forbidden Army general outside the camp, he lazily said: "I know, but the Chinese army has its own dignity. You two can just dismount and walk inside. The others will stay outside the camp."
Wang Shao and Wang Junwan looked at each other and had no choice but to do so at this moment.
The two of them came to the tent and saw Zhang Yue's personal accomplice Tang Jiu holding his sword there.
Wang Shao, who was familiar with Tang Jiu, stepped forward with a smile and said, "Brother Tang, we haven't seen you for a long time."
Tang Jiu nodded slightly and said, "The commander is inside. Deputy Manager Wang is waiting here. General Wang will follow me in."
Wang Shao's expression froze when he heard this. His official position was higher than that of Wang Junwan. There was no reason for him to wait outside to see Wang Junwan first.
Wang Shao's face looked very ugly, but at this moment he could only hold his breath and said: "Yes!"
Wang Junwan immediately followed Tang Jiu into the Chinese army's tent.
At this moment, Zhang Yue was reading a book and Wang Junwan also politely invited him to take a seat. Wang Junwan even said that he did not dare to ask: "I wonder what the commander-in-chief can do by letting the general come here alone? What can't be said after entering the stronghold?"
?”
Zhang Yue said calmly: "I asked you to come here, so you have something to say!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yue took a few letters from the case and handed them to Wang Junwan, saying, "You read them first."
Wang Junwan's face would turn green just by looking at it. These letters were all intended to accuse and impeach Wang Junwan for his illegal activities when he was stationed in Xihe these years. Just embezzling military supplies and committing military plunder were enough to kill Wang Junwan.
"This is nonsense. Wang did not do these things at all."
Wang Junwan argued with a livid face.
Zhang Yue smiled and immediately took out another letter and gave it to Wang Junwan and said, "Look at this letter again. I wrote it on the way here yesterday."
Wang Junwan looked at Zhazi and saw that it was Zhang Yue who summarized his achievements in Xihe in the past few years, listing them one by one in great detail. Wang Junwan did not remember some of them, but Zhang Yue remembered them clearly.
Wang Junwan read the impeachment letter and Zha Zi and immediately understood what Zhang Yue meant.
Wang Junwan clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much for your cultivation, Commander-in-Chief, but Wang is so kind to Deputy Commander Wang that he would rather die than let him down. If Commander-in-Chief really wants to kill me for this crime, I have nothing to say."
explain."
Zhang Yue looked at Wang Jun Wandao: "You are indeed a loyal man, but you are a general of the imperial court and not Wang Shao's private person. Do you know that you have violated a taboo by saying this?"
Wang Junwan stood aside silently and did not answer.
Zhang Yue said to Wang Junwan: "Please think carefully aside first."
Immediately two soldiers escorted Wang Junwan down.
At this time Zhang Yue said: "Take Wang Shao."
A moment later, Wang Shao took long strides and boldly stepped into the tent. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Zhang Yue unyielding.
