After Wang Zhongzheng left, Zhang Yue realized why all ancient generals hated people like Yu Chaoen. Black
In May of the sixth year of Xining, in the Imperial Palace of Xizhou City.
Zhang Yue called Cai Jing and other close aides and told them about his falling out with Wang Zhongzheng.
At this moment, except Zhang Kai who was leading troops on the front line and Shen Kuo who was building a city in Minzhou, Zhang Yue called all his staff.
All the staff were silent for a while. The falling out between the leading general and the supervisor was very detrimental to both of them.
The Song Army has always retained the legacy of the Tang Dynasty officials overseeing the army. Examples of the supervisors rising above the leading generals, stealing command, and even forcing the generals to death, such as Guo Xie. What's more, Wang Zhongzheng
He is a person deeply trusted by the emperor.
But when Cai Jing came forward and said: "It's better to fall out. Since there is discord, why bother to compromise. It's better to make a fuss and go to the Holy Land. This is also understandable."
Cai Bian said: "The commander-in-chief has always treated Wang Zhongzheng favorably. When he set foot in the battle of Baicheng, the army was infected with the epidemic."
"Actually, we have dealt with it in time, but Wang Zhongzheng deliberately 'claimed illness', and the commander graciously allowed the man to rest in the rear. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhongzheng was ungrateful and bypassed the commander to communicate with Wang Junwan and other generals to consult the commander
Matters concerning the use of troops and the exchange of money and food in the army."
After hearing what Cai Jing and Cai Bian said, all the staff suddenly cursed Wang Zhongzheng.
In fact, Zuoma was responsible for collecting intelligence from the generals, and secretly reported the information to the emperor through secret reports, and even inquired about the generals' preferences and investigated all illegal activities.
Moreover, the documents reported by the generals to the emperor must be accepted by zuma.
Therefore, Wang Zhongzheng could seize Zhang Yue's memorandum and give it to the emperor. Of course, if Zhang Yue wanted to go around and take the responsibility, he could also submit the memorandum to the emperor alone, but this would make him lose face.
Once the leading general and the military supervisor each hold their own opinions about their advice to the emperor, the emperor will judge which of the two men is lying.
Under normal circumstances, Zouma Acceptance is a confidant of the emperor, and his words are obviously more trustworthy than those of the generals leading the army. Therefore, the leading generals all have their memorials forwarded to the Emperor through Zouma Acceptance. Black
As for the secret memorandum that the horse receives for the emperor, it does not need to be shown to the other party.
So as a general in charge of the army, you never know what kind of report he made to you to the emperor, but you dare not say bad things about him.
But in any case, Wang Zhongzheng dared to seize Zhang Yue's memorial to the emperor, which really violated his taboo. How could he endure this?
Even if this was not the case, Wang Zhongzheng interfered with the command, gave instructions, and even probed into his own secrets. Therefore, it is conceivable that the famous general Guo Jin, who was helpless even to the Khitans, died at the hands of an eunuch.
Perhaps Wang Zhongzheng felt that he was not going too far, but Zhang Yue felt that he could no longer bear it.
Now Wang Zhongzheng has been detained. Before the emperor made any clear announcement, during this period, Xihe's military and political affairs were at least controlled by him alone.
This is the advantage of falling out. In addition, there is another advantage, which is that when a new commander arrives in the army, the emperor will not urge him to attack Liangzhou Prefecture or Xingzhou.

The Liangzhou Prefecture and Xingzhou Prefecture are extremely risky to attack for hundreds of miles, and they cannot be defended if they are stopped. Zhang's military strategy has only one trick, which is to attack shallowly and attack the buildings. For this large-scale deep attack, it is better to hire a famous general like Huo Wei
Wang Shao is also good at this, but a mediocre general like me really can't do it.
Zhang Yue thought of this and said: "The most urgent task is to draft a memorial to impeach Wang Zhongzheng immediately. As for Wang Zhongzheng, he will also impeach me, so let him go. But this memorial must be sent to the capital before him!"
"At the same time, I need to write letters to several husband-in-laws to explain the matter to them and ask them to advise me on the official side."
At this time, Wen Jifu said: "Commander, the battle of Tabaicheng has been over for more than a month, but the rewards and promotions have not yet been issued to the army. I am afraid that if it takes too long, the soldiers below will complain. What's more,
I heard that the two governments have already discussed this matter, and even the envoys to confer rewards are on their way, but I don’t know why they haven’t arrived yet.”
Zhang Yue certainly knew what the reason was, and Wang Zhongzheng could do it, but he actually interfered in this matter.
I had made a pie as big as the sky to the soldiers on Xihe Road, but now I have been unable to fulfill it. You can imagine the resentment of the officials and soldiers below.
This really shakes my own prestige. Black
Now in the entire Xihe Road, except for himself, who has been appointed as Zuo Jianyi doctor, no one else has been promoted or received a reward.
Zhang Yue said: "I understand."
Lu Shengqing and Xing Shu looked at each other. Zhang Yue's ability to summon these two people here shows that he has no regard for them. The so-called "confidence" is nothing more than this.
Wen Jifu, Cai Bian, and Lu Shengqing would each write letters to their father, father-in-law, and elder brother, telling them what was going on here.
The staff have work to do.
As for Zhang Yue, he also had to write letters to the emperor and Wu Chong.
At this time, Wu Chong just sent him a letter, which he wrote after he was promoted to the position of political counselor. Black
The letter also contains words of warning, instructing him to use military force against the newly surrendered Mu Zheng and other Tibetan people, and ask him to redeem himself from the thieves, and then give him a generous reward, so that he can be used by me and will not get back together with Dong Xiang.
This will also be the case when discussing Dong Fei in the future.
Mu Zheng must be treated kindly, and then Dong Zhan can be recruited.
Wu Chong's views coincided with Zhang Yue's. Zhang Yue wrote to Wu Chong. At this time, someone reported: "He Guan is outside asking for an audience!"
Only then did Zhang Yue realize that he had left Wang Zhongzheng aside for a long time after falling out with him.
"The general has met the commander-in-chief!"
Zhang Yue looked up and saw a young general, no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, standing in front of him.
He was a little surprised in his heart, but he continued to write the letter calmly. On the other hand, he asked: "Are you He Guan? How do you know about farming in ancient Wei when you are so young?"
The other party said: "The last general is a person from Kaifeng Xiangfu. He was originally a martial artist, but later he thought he didn't know how to become a general in astronomy and geography, so he entered the Imperial Academy and studied agriculture!"
Zhang Yue didn't care whether the other party was from the Imperial College, or whether he reformed the Imperial College and adopted the Suhu teaching method. He immediately changed his face and smiled at him: "So you are also a student of the Imperial College. Sit down and talk!"
He Guan got Zhang Yue's permission and immediately sat half-assed on the chair.
Zhang Yue said: "Then why didn't you go to martial arts school instead of agricultural school?"
He Guan said: "The imperial court is located near the Xihe River. Many officials who followed the general were promoted in succession. Many imperial students yearned for scholars to gain military merit and be knighted, so they all went to martial arts. The generals in the end had no connections, so they originally signed up.
After studying martial arts, I finally had to study agriculture.”
It turns out that my volunteer was adjusted...
Zhang Yue did not expect this reason, so he asked: "How did you get to Guwei later?"
He Guandao: "The last general was selected to work in Xihe, and he was appreciated by the king...the deputy manager of the king, and was entrusted with the task of farming..."
Zhang Yue thought that this man was also upright and made no secret of being appreciated and promoted by Wang Shao.
Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said: "Vice-General Wang is really a wise judge of people, so I won't mind it. I remember that in the Tang Dynasty, Hei Te Changzhi had five or six thousand hectares of farmland in Hehuang, and at its peak, it harvested more than a million stones. But you
Can you teach me how to cultivate five or six thousand hectares of farmland in ancient Wei?"
He Guan said: "I don't dare to be the last general. From the ancient Wei River to the Wei source, it was the Weishui River Valley. There were fertile fields nearby. It's just that the Tibetan people despise the land and valuable goods and are not good at farming."
"However, we Han people are rich and cheap, so I exchanged money and goods for farmland with the Tibetan people, and built more water mills in the rapids of the river to grind flour in exchange for more food with the Tibetan people. I have seen the Weishui River Valley in those days
Indica rice can be grown, and there are still many old canals left over from the Han and Tang dynasties, which will be repaired in the future, so there will be..."
While He Guan was talking, he observed Zhang Yue's expression, but saw that the other party was writing a letter all the time. I wonder if he was listening?
When he heard himself pause, Zhang Yue said, "Continue talking." Black
He Guan continued to talk. He composed himself and told Zhang Yue all his thoughts.
After Zhang Yue finished writing the letter to Wu Chong, he said to He Guan: "Excellent, excellent. What you said about the Tibetan people is noble and cheap, and the Han people are noble and cheap. I deeply believe it."
"You use a running water mill to grind flour for the Tibetan people and trade grain and grass with the Tibetan people..."
It has the appearance of handicraft harvesting agriculture.
Zhang Yue paused and said to He Guan: "You have such a talent, how can I let you bury it and come under my curtain?"
He Guan was stunned. He wasn't surprised that Zhang Yue would promote or demote him, but he didn't expect that he would be made a staff member.
He Guan hesitated for a moment and said, "I will obey the commander's orders."
The next day Zhang Yue was tired and was about to lie down on the collapse to rest. At this time, the urgent troops from Bianjing 500 miles away arrived.
Zhang Yue saw that it was the emperor who had written to him and Wang Zhongzheng. It turned out that the negotiations between the Song and Xia parties in Qinzhou were at a stalemate. The emperor wanted Zhang Yue's troops and horses on Xihe Road to prepare for an all-out attack on Lanzhou, and the troops and horses must be deployed in a coordinated manner.
A formation diagram was drawn and sent to Bianjing.
Also ask if the plan to march into Xingzhou or Liangzhou Prefecture has been completed.
Zhang Yue immediately frowned when he saw it. He didn't want to fight this battle at all at the moment, but the officials were urging the soldiers and horses on Xihe Road. Not to mention that the rewards for the previous victory in Baicheng had not yet been received. For now, after the battle, the soldiers
The horse is tired and not fully prepared in all aspects.
And what happened to the formation map entering the capital? Does the emperor want to control the battle situation thousands of miles away?
Order micro-manipulation to move my Japanese-armed archers and horses fifty steps to the left?
This is simply nonsense, Zhang Yue complained in his heart. Black
When Zhang Yue thought of this, he felt outraged. He had just finished attacking Qingtang and then attacked Lanzhou. How could he use troops like this?
Zhang Yue summoned his staff to discuss the matter all night long. This was not only a way to brainstorm and learn from everyone's strengths, but also a first-class test for Zhang Yue's subordinates.
Zhang Yue will also teach his staff step by step to think about problems in this way and learn to understand his methods and knowledge of doing things.
At first glance, it seemed that everyone was helping Zhang Yue think of a solution, but in the end he was also tempered.
When He Guan first entered the Zhang Yue shogunate, he felt fresh. Zhang Yue and his staff were like teachers and students, superiors and subordinates, and among the entire group, everyone performed their duties and did their best.
No wonder so many people all over the world want to follow Zhang Gong. This is not unreasonable.
Not to mention other things, there are quite a few officials who have been recommended as magistrates of a state or a county from his subordinates. They may have a job in the future. Black
Not maybe, but definitely.
Thinking of this, He Guan felt how lucky he was to have Zhang Yue's favor and join his staff.
After going through this training in the future, I will definitely be more able to deal with problems in the future.
