On the first day of the last month of the first year of Jianyan, when heavy snow was falling, Zhao Jiu met Zhang, one of the so-called four generals of ZTE, who was as famous as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, at the Dongtai Pavilion of Huaikou, Feishui, thirty miles west of Shouzhou City.
Jun Zhang Boying!
In fact, Zhao Jiu knew about this person, not only after he came out of the well, but also before time travel. Because this name is simple and direct, and has always been inversely bound to Yue Han, it is difficult to forget... Of course, out of the well
Later, I became even more familiar with this name.
On the other hand, it was Liu Guangshi. Zhao Jiu had never been sure whether he was one of the Four Generals of Zhongxing, because he could understand that a famous general had low moral standards, but it was difficult for him to accept a captain who everyone said was a war-avoiding captain and a long-legged captain.
What contribution did it make to ZTE... Could it be that when Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Jun were fighting against the Jin Army on the front line, Lieutenant Liu relied on his speed advantage and talent in recruiting rebels to wrap up all the rebellions in the rear?
But having said that, Zhao Jiu, who likes to chat with the squad members, now knows very well why Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi have such prominent positions in the military?
The reason couldn't be simpler - just like the body occupied by Zhao Jiu, everyone just happened to appear at the necessary moment with some irreplaceable capital when the landslide and the earth shattered.
Among them, Zhao Laojiu's capital is naturally his bloodline, while Liu Zhang's capital is their soldiers and horses.
In addition, Liu Guangshi may have some theory that the father died and his son succeeded him; Zhang Jun is similar, but he is somewhat regarded as the opposite-sex successor of the Zhong family army.
Let us also say that Liu Guangshi's father was the famous Liu Yanqing, who was one of the best long-legged captains in the Song Army at that time! This Liu Lieutenant always liked to avoid battles, miss appointments, grab credit, and run away. At that time, this guy ran all the way from the Gaoliang River.
In Tokyo, the only thing that may not be as long as the Jin people's horses' legs is, so they can't help but get stabbed by the Jin people.
And probably for this reason, after Liu Guangshi debuted, his leg skills became even better, so much so that he was better than his master!
But no matter what, Liu Guangshi had the connections left behind by his father, a veteran military leader who was a prominent figure in the Song Dynasty for decades... and Liu Yanqing's indulgence in subordinates was exactly the same when he came to Liu Guangshi.
Therefore, when General Jingkang collapsed that day, Liu Guangshi was on his way to Tokyo with 3,000 troops. When he heard that the front line had been defeated, he made a decisive decision. Instead of looking back, he dropped everything and galloped from Kansai with 3,000 troops.
When he arrived in Hebei, he was the first one to run up to Zhao Laojiu, who was still the empty-headed military marshal at the time, and he became famous from then on!
Just look at the official titles and you will know that everyone is the commander of the imperial camp, and there is Wang Yuan, the commander of the imperial camp, but Liu Guangshi has the responsibility of promoting the affairs of the imperial camp and serving as the inspector of the capital.
...This real power may not be any less than that of Wang Yuan.
He was even the first soldier of the Song Dynasty to be officially established as a Taiwei after Jingkang, which was implemented just a few days before Zhao Jiu came out of the well.
As for Zhang Jun and Zhang Boying, Jian Yanzhong's rise is roughly similar to Liu Guangshi's.
When General Jingkang collapsed, he pulled out a force of two to three thousand people, and then appeared at the right place when there was no one around Zhao Laojiu.
But correspondingly speaking, Zhang Jun is obviously more capable, because he does not have a good father like Liu Guangshi, so that he brings 3,000 fully-organized troops with him as soon as he appears, and he can still enjoy his father's natural talents after he is well-equipped in civil and military affairs.
Connections... Zhang Jun was able to inherit the Zhong Family Army, the leader of the Western Army, only through hard work.
First of all, Zhang Jun really followed the Zhongshi Zhong in the bloody battle in Taiyuan, and when almost the entire army was wiped out, he pulled out a remnant of the army and broke through the encirclement; secondly, he relied on his battlefield performance and personal contacts along the way.
Charisma maintains leadership.
Of course, there must be a little bit of luck. For example, he met the noble Liang Yangzu. The magistrate of Guide Prefecture who first accepted Zhang Jun and other exiled remnants and then took them to see Zhao Laojiu was a man who knew how to advance and retreat...
…On the day Zhao Laojiu ascended the throne, he discussed preserving the original Grand Marshal’s Mansion and wanted this person to serve as the marshal. However, Liang Yangzu voluntarily gave up his military power and the power of the central government, and asked himself to go south to manage finances.
Zhang Jun inherited this hilltop and was qualified to be placed under Liu Guangshi and above Han Shizhong to become the commander of the imperial camp.
Back to the present.
In the heavy snowfall, the atmosphere of this meeting in the Dongtai Pavilion unconsciously became tense and stiff, because after Zhao Guan's family entered the warm pavilion prepared for him by Zhang Taiwei, they first had to remove the gorgeous curtains in a very shameless manner.
He also ordered that most of the delicacies and fine wines in the pavilion be given to the Banzhi and Huyantong troops who were marching hard in armor. Only a few ducks roasted on the stove in the pavilion were left untouched. Then they remained silent without saying a word.
Sit till now.
Poor Captain Zhang, who is over forty years old, has been standing on the edge of the pavilion without taking a seat, and there is gradually a little snow on his shoulders... If this is spread in the future, wouldn't there be an allusion to the story of snow on the east platform, dedicated to it?
Describe the officials’ nature as cold and cold?
After all, thinking about the preferential treatment given to Han Shizhong by the official that day, and the change in the official's attitude towards some of his former confidants after sunset, it really can't stop the civil and military officials present from thinking wildly.
And to be honest, everyone is generally a little bit aggrieved for Zhang Taiwei, because there is no reason for Han Shizhong's subordinates to rebel and get the jade belt, but here Zhang Taiwei treats him respectfully after being out of the city for thirty miles, but he is treated like this!
Of course, Zhao Jiuzhen didn't do it on purpose. On the contrary, it was precisely because he knew the importance of Captain Zhang that he kept hesitating, not knowing how to speak to this person, and then he thought about it without paying attention.
"Zhang Qing, please come and sit with me."
Finally, just when Zhang Jun's old subordinate Yang Yizhong wanted to remind him of the taboo, Zhao Guanjia finally spoke, and his easy-going words immediately made both civil and military personnel in the pavilion breathe a sigh of relief.
"I don't dare!" Zhang Jun, who also breathed a sigh of relief, still behaved extremely respectfully. "The officials and the princes are sitting, where can I be a warrior?"
"Why don't you dare to do this?" Zhao Jiu came back to his senses and laughed for a moment. "Han Liangchen passed here a few days ago. I don't believe that Lieutenant Zhang didn't see the jade belt in his waist... He is not a lieutenant of the Fifth Company of Pohan,
You dare to wear a jade belt all day long and show off across the border, but you, the majestic Captain Zhang, dare not sit with me?"
Zhang Jun still bowed his head and declined.
"Zhang Qing," Zhao Jiu was helpless when he saw this. "Could it be that you knew that I fell into a well and forgot some people, so you deliberately got angry with me? It is precisely because of this that you and I should be more honest and cordial, so as to save money."
The closeness we used to have has become a burden."
Hearing this, Zhang Jun did not dare to hesitate any longer, so he walked forward, passed the censor Zhongcheng Zhang Jun, who had a very similar name to him, and sat down with several princes of the East and West, but he specifically sat on the outermost side, leaving only
Half of the butt is on the stool.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Zhao Jiu simply waved his hand and said bluntly: "That's good. Please leave early for resettlement in Xiacai (the name of the county in Shouzhou Prefecture). This will save you the cold weather outside. The rest of the civil and military forces will also help with the resettlement."
Team, I have something to say with Captain Zhang in private..."
Everyone was shocked, and while Lu Haowen was hesitating, Zhang Cui, the Tongzhi Privy Councilor who had just returned to the inner circle, said with a pinched neck:
"When an official talks to a Taiwei, there is no need to avoid the Prime Minister!"
Zhao Jiu had no choice but to change his words: "I am going to ask Captain Zhang some personal matters."
"Do officials ever have private affairs?" Zhang Tie almost blurted out.
Zhao Jiu was obviously angry, but he could only stand up and flutter his sleeves: "Then please enjoy your wine and duck here slowly. Lieutenant Zhang, please come and accompany me for a walk and watch the snow scene on the Huai River!"
Zhang Jie originally wanted to keep up with him, but when he thought about Guan's well-known equestrian skills, and the fact that it was really cold outside the pavilion, he was so angry that he simply didn't get up to see him off, and instead lowered his head and called out in a sullen voice.
When the duck was served, the cook in the pavilion had already prepared it, but first served a portion of salted duck, and then hurriedly showed off his roast duck cooking skills to all the gentlemen.
When all the civil and military officials saw off the officials and Zhang Jun who hurriedly followed, they rode towards Huaikou. Only Yang Yizhong followed a few cavalrymen from a distance. I don't know if it was because of the name. The prime minister took a bite of roast duck.
He vented his anger on Zhang Jun, the censor Zhongcheng, and scolded him in public with a duck leg, saying that Zhang Deyuan, the leader of Taiwan's remonstrances, had no backbone.
And Zhang Deyuan was young and successful, not to mention that he knew in his heart that he was not on the same side as these veterans, so how could he show weakness? Although he was not as direct as the other party, he also became strangely angry, so that the other ministers, civil and military officials, and Zhang Junjun
Those who followed him and knew the opportunity tried their best to persuade him...but no matter what, no matter how much trouble there was in the pavilion, it would be difficult to prevent the officials from meeting the military minister privately again.
Moreover, the heavy snowfall became more and more rapid, and the white and yellow color of the dry grass on the riverside had already turned into pure white. Zhao Jiu, Zhang Jun, and Yang Yizhong hurriedly rode away from the Dongtai Pavilion with a heater to avoid the large group crossing Feishui.
After the team, they almost walked across the road with their front feet, and the traces of their back feet were obscured by the wind and snow.
But in the wind and snow, when Zhao Jiu, led by Zhang Jun, turned to a gentle slope and stood on horseback to look in the distance, he saw mist steaming from the Huai River again, intertwined with the snowflakes all over the sky. At this time, the sky and the earth
It can be said to be clear yet misty, it can be said to be integrated, yet yet the heaven, earth, rivers and mountains are distinct. It is simply a picturesque landscape... I wonder if Zhao Guan, who was born in a small family, has never seen such a scene before? Naturally, he was amazed. Just now
The unhappiness with Zhang Chou disappeared immediately, and he almost wanted to recite a poem on the spot.
However, this Zhao Jiu, an engineering dog who only knows how to read online articles, has such a shallow literary literacy that it was difficult for him to copy a song to suit the occasion, so he resisted!
And when Zhao Guan's family looked at the scenery for a long time and turned around to see Yang Yizhong standing on his horse a dozen steps away, and a group of imperial guardsmen walking a few dozen steps further away, with only Zhang Taiwei beside him, they finally got to the point:
"Does Zhang Qing know what I was thinking when I entered the pavilion and sat silently?"
"I don't dare to make a guess." Zhang Jun, who had been paying attention to the official Zhao family's posture for a long time and had already thought of various answers in his mind, quickly spoke up. "Is it because the officials feel that the decoration in the pavilion is a little too extravagant? Don't worry, officials."
, I know that the journey is difficult, and since I have returned to the journey this time, all the materials captured before will naturally be allocated by the central government, and I will never let my subordinates cause such troubles for this kind of thing."
"You are thinking too much." Zhao Jiu held the reins and continued to look at the steam on the Huaihe River and spoke slowly. "What I was thinking about before was how to make Captain Zhang more sincere and useful to me. Then I naturally thought of you and me as a monarch and my ministers.
I couldn’t help but think more about it..."
"I am ashamed, but there is something I am unhappy about." Zhang Jun immediately bowed his head and answered. "I am not familiar with the affairs of officials and family, but the importance of officials is like Mount Tai, and the kindness of officials to me is
, I will never forget it, and my loyalty and gratitude to the official family will never be frustrated by such trivial matters..."
"I think so too." Zhao Jiu suddenly spoke and turned to stare at the other party. "I just thought about it in the pavilion for a long time, but suddenly I realized that I was actually thinking too much... You are similar to Liu Guangshi, and
Slightly different from Han Shizhong, we met from Hebei, and we are both prosperous and devastated. We don’t need any belts or belts between each other! Right? "
"That's what I mean!" Zhang Jun was overjoyed, feeling that the uneasiness he had felt for several months had suddenly disappeared. "The official family is indeed still the official family."
Zhao Jiu also laughed when he saw this, but after laughing, he directly pointed his finger at the other party on the horse, and then pointed at himself:
"But Zhang Qing, that was that time. At that time, you and I were in Hebei. Without you, you were a defeated dog on the roadside. Without you, I was just a bait for the Jin soldiers. But what about now? If I don't have you Zhang Qing now,
I still have Han Shizhong and Jiangnan Banbi to rely on more or less; but without me, you and Liu Guangshi can still only be like the defeated dogs in Hebei! Right?"
Not far away, Yang Yizhong was stunned, and Zhang Jun's expression changed drastically.
"Okay, I'm asking you now." Zhao Jiu became serious. "Lieutenant Zhang, can the Huaihe River be defended? I really don't want to run away!"
ps: Continue to offer sacrifices - "The Western Army of the Song Dynasty", as the name suggests, everyone should go and take a look!
