Chapter 1771 Yang Wei Yaowu, messing up your military heart
"Xuanfu Xianggong, as the lower officials have seen, the person who rescued the prisoner Qu Duan and escaped is probably closely related to Xiao Tang."
In the Yajie Hall of the Office of the Xuanfu Envoy, the person who immediately stood up to speak to Zhang Jun, who was sulking at himself, was not Wu Jie, who had already noticed, but the eldest son of Liu Kai, an important official in the imperial court, who was currently serving as the Xuanfu Envoy to participate in military discussions.
Liu Ziyu.
When the Song army conquered La in the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Ziyu had worked with Wu Jie and Wu Lin, and was appointed as Taifu Secretary and promoted to the position of Prime Minister of Weishu Temple. He was also wise and brave, and was familiar with strategy. The reason why Wu Jie and Wu Lin were able to enter Zhang Jun
The reason why he was reused and promoted in his eyes was all because of Liu Ziyu's recommendation. Liu Ziyu also relied on Liu Ziyu's advice to win several battles when resisting the Jin army. Due to his outstanding military achievements, he has now been promoted to Huiyou Pavilion.
Wu Jie had already realized that Qu Duan's rescue from the prisoner was probably closely related to Xiao Tang, and with Liu Ziyu's intelligence, after some speculation on his part, it was not difficult to realize that the person who rescued Qu Duan was also responsible for concealing the truth from others.
It is most likely that he was Xiao Tang, who seemed to be at odds with the imperial court.
After listening to Liu Ziyu's words, Zhang Jun's expression also changed obviously. Although he was a civil servant who went to the northwest to supervise the army and horses in accordance with the Song Dynasty's practice of using civility to control military affairs, he was not really a strategist or well versed in military matters.
Although he was a handsome man, he was accustomed to courtiers fighting openly and secretly. Once Liu Ziyu reminded him, Zhang Jun immediately thought of the benefits of Xiao Tang stepping in to rescue Qu Duan. After a while, his expression became more solemn, and he also
He couldn't help but stretch out his hands and put them on the handsome desk, as if to support his slightly tired body.
In the court that was originally at odds with the various factions in Tokyo and Bianliang, Zhang Jun can be said to be a quite unique courtier. Whether it was when the Jin army was strong at the beginning, or now it is becoming more powerful due to the hidden danger of the Xiaotang court.
The two countries temporarily suspended their armies to negotiate peace, and Zhang Jun was always cold-blooded towards the peace advocates in the court. It happened that when Li Gang was at the peak of his fight against the Jin army, he refuted the old Zhongxiang Gong Zhongshi's anti-Jinship doctrine.
The strategy of re-employing generals such as Yao Pingzhong and blindly ordering the Song army to counterattack without considering the situation at the time was too radical. Zhang Jun even wrote a letter to impeach Li Gang, a die-hard war faction, in the name of his dictatorship. But if he is a pure-blooded official who only takes care of himself,
, Zhang Jun was always willing to write letters to state his opinions. Whether it was recommending talented people, recommending himself for appointments, or impeaching errant civil and military officials, he was as full of energy as if he had been given blood, and he became an official because of this.
With the discernment of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, Zhang Jun was entrusted with the important task of taking charge of the various departments of the Song Army in the northwest, led by the Western Army.
But now Zhang Jun feels that the burden on his shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that he can no longer bear such pressure.
In the past, when they resisted Wanyan Nianhan, Wanyan Loushi's Jin army won less and lost more. Most of the prefectures in the northwest fell. But then the imperial court called off the war with the Jinlu, and he had to command all the troops and horses to sit down and guard against them.
The Tartars in the north stared blankly. However, Xiao Tang's fellow was indeed disobedient and committed the crime of transgression without asking the court for instructions and secretly discussed with the Xia Kingdom. Although the plan of Lian Xia's pursuit of gold could actually be accomplished after Xiao Tang's deployment.
, it also taught Zhang Jun that he couldn't help but praise each other. But now, although the Jinlu foreign invasion in the Kansai territory has been eliminated, the occupied Fuyan, Qinfeng, Jingzhao and other roads under the control of the state capital, except for the north, the Xia army took advantage of the opportunity to expand the territory.
, and all of them have been seized by Xiao Tang’s troops.
A tiger is rejected at the front door, but a wolf is admitted at the back door. After the Jin Kingdom, Xiao Tang and Song Ting seemed to be in harmony with each other, but how long can it be before the showdown between each other? If Qu Duan was really rescued by Xiao Tang, it was not because of him. Deployments made to check and balance the imperial court in the Kansai region!?
While Zhang Junwu was thinking to himself, he heard a military academy outside the festival hall shouting that there was an urgent military situation to report. Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Liu Xi, Zhao Zhe and other generals of the Song Army who were present couldn't help but stood up in shock when they heard the sound. , now they have been garrisoned for a long time, and the army of Xiaotang and Xia Kingdom have slaughtered all the Jin army in Guanxi. However, the imperial army of the Song Dynasty had to garrison and guard according to the imperial order and watch from the sidelines. What urgent military information will come from the time?
However, when the military academy general came in quickly to report, he was immediately shocked and Zhang Jun's expression changed again: "Report! Report to Xuanfu Xianggong, Xiao Tang personally led tens of thousands of troops and horses, and they have already arrived at Xinghua City!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
A mile or two away from the north of Xinghua City, the seat of Xingzhou, various teams of sentinel cavalry spread out in sparse formations and continued to surge towards the city walls. The whistles and orders were louder than the waves, and many soldiers wearing The heavily armored infantry also gathered into a dense square formation and advanced step by step. The ranks held out many flags flying in the wind. However, when they saw many small formations converging into a large formation, looking over the wall, they saw a large formation. The rows of majestic soldiers surged forward like furious waves, and a murderous aura immediately hit their faces.
However, those who came were the elite soldiers and horses of Xiao Tang's command, and they were still nominally the vassal commander of the army ordered by Song Tingqin. On the city tower, many soldiers of the Song Dynasty looked shocked and horrified when they received the order from the general of the command. Before, he had not yet opened the strong bow and crossbow in his hand and pointed the arrows at the army that was slowly approaching the city wall. However, the general guarding the city gate had already ordered his soldiers to close the door tightly. Close up and wait for each other, let's see what Xiao Tang intends to do when he comes.
Zhang Jun, Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Liu Ziyu and other Song army generals and staff led by him also hurriedly climbed onto the tower. Everyone immediately set up their tents and looked towards the military formation in front of them. .The Song army officers and soldiers inside the city have also listened to Zhang Jun's order and are busy working back and forth like a swarm of ants, about to pile up the mountains of feathers and arrows near the city wall in advance. Bow and arrow crossbow machine , although they were not pulled full of strings, the Song army officers and soldiers in various divisions above and below the city wall had also set up layers of swords, spears, axes and halberds, shining with dazzling cold light.
Ordinarily speaking, given the current situation, it is unlikely that Xiao Tang would choose to rashly attack the territory of the Song Dynasty and completely break up with the imperial court. However, bad people will not come, and good people will not come. This time, Xiao Tang mobilized troops to move to Xinghua. There must be some conspiracy in front of the city.
Zhang Jun, who looked particularly solemn, finally looked at the cavalry athletes holding ceremonial swords in the formation opposite, surrounded by a seemingly burly general, pacing forward on horseback, and gradually drove out of the front of the formation. But seeing that man wearing strong armor and riding a horse that was all white and seemingly without a single mane, the surrounding soldiers suddenly burst out with fierce shouts, and a mighty and majestic wave broke out. The gas was also billowing into the sky along with the smoke and dust raised by the surrounding groups of war horses.
Zhang Jun couldn't help but snorted coldly when he saw the killing scene in front of him. Xiao Tang came in person, but this guy came uninvited and put on a huge display. What on earth did he want to do!?
And the majestic Jade Lion in Zhaoye rode out of Xiaotang's horse and saw that the Xinghua City guarded by the Song Army looked like it was facing a formidable enemy. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly raised his hand and rode in the formation. The loud shouts in the crowd gradually fell silent. Until there were only the sounds of the neighing of war horses and the flapping sounds of many flags blown up by the strong wind, Xiao Tang then gathered enough energy and suddenly shouted loudly. He shouted, "My dear sirs, Xiao came to Jingping to pacify the Jinlu foreign invaders who invaded the Guanxi road. He fought with all his brothers and three armies with blood and was fortunate to win a great victory! And you led the troops and guards to connect Shaanxi, Gansu and Gansu." , the Sichuan provinces are close to each other, so why not come to visit your colleagues?
It would indeed be disrespectful to leave this class. Therefore, I, Xiao Tang, have come here not only to pay a visit to all the ministers, but also to express my condolences to the elders of the Western Army, since the great trouble of the Jin captives in the north has been eliminated. My fellow villagers, we will no longer be invaded by the Tatars! And you gentlemen no longer need to be wary of the Jinlu who are waiting for opportunities to invade the south, so you can rest easy!"
