Zhang Yue naturally understood the contribution between Zhang Muzhi and Cai Tianshen.
How to divide the cake of the Battle of Hezhou? This knife is now in your own hands. It is understandable that everyone wants to share the benefits.
But if you don't make meritorious deeds, these coercive methods will be ugly. Besides, it is unrealistic for everyone to want equal access to rain and dew.
Cai Tianshen and Zhang Muzhi are both supervisory officials. Even if Zhang Yue wants to share the credit, how can he share it?
Nowadays, Hezhou has not yet been conquered and Mu Zheng has not yet been captured, but the overt and covert attacks in the officialdom are really hard to guard against.
When Zhang Yue and Cai Yanqing returned to the banquet, someone suddenly came to report: "The senior manager is already outside the door!"
It turned out that Gao Zunyu was going to attend such an occasion and the daytime military parade in Japan, but he claimed that he was not sick, but at this moment he suddenly came.
"General Manager, what on earth are you trying to do?" Cai Yanqing asked in surprise.
Zhang Yue understood Gao Zunyu's purpose of coming, and he was coming for him.
He smiled at Cai Yanqing and said, "The so-called good people will never come!"
After Zhang Yue finished speaking, he ordered the people on the side: "Let Lu Shengqing and the other three come here immediately!"
Afterwards, Zhang Yue and Cai Yanqing returned to the table. Gao Zunyu had already entered the restaurant. He saw Zhang Yue and Cai Yanqing lazily saluted.
Cai Yanqing smiled and helped Gao Zunyu up and said, "General Manager Gao said he was feeling unwell? I'm still very worried and was about to visit Yi Er."
Gao Zunyu said: "Shuai Cao Cao, I'm just excused because I'm not feeling well. I'm just afraid that someone doesn't want Gao to appear here."
Zhang Yue said calmly: "The senior manager will come whenever he wants. Who dares to stop you?"
The words of Zhang Yue and Gao Zunyu contained a hint of gunpowder.
Zhang Yue and Wang Shao have repeatedly squeezed out Gao Zunyu and used military skills to seize his military power in disguise. Gao Zunyu felt that he was running into obstacles at every turn, so he often made excuses for not showing up.
Gao Zunyu used to be a relative, and everyone on Qinfeng Road gave him a thumbs up.
But after Yuan Zhongtong was arrested without authorization, Zhang Yue and Gao Zunyu completely fell out. Only then did Gao Zunyu understand an iron rule in officialdom, that is, never challenge the authority of the top leader.
There are all kinds of little shoes and all kinds of little stumbling blocks. After Gao Zunyu suffered a lot from Zhang Yue, he had nowhere to vent his anger. He spent all day in the house cursing Zhang Yue and Wang Shao. mean.
Now, although Zhang Yue let Gao Zunyu in, he was given the last seat in the queue.
Gao Zunyu's face turned green when he saw it, but he couldn't get angry at the moment, so he had to sit down like this.
Gao Zunyu knew the purpose of coming today, so he couldn't leave in anger. He had to stay here to embarrass Zhang Yue.
Gao Zunyu said: "Whether it is appropriate for the Jinglue envoy to rank Gao at the bottom, Gao will not say. Do you know that Zhang Jinglue and Wang Jinglue want to go their own way and send troops to Hezhou?"
When Gao Zunyu knew that Cai Tianshen's father, Cai Ting, was not yet an envoy to the Privy Council, he objected to the use of troops in Xihe. He also told Zhang Yue that the several cities built by Wang Shao could not hold key points and that there were no dangerous points to defend. Gao Zunyu wanted to use this matter to provoke him.
Cai Tianshen asked: "The statement made by General Manager Gao that he is the General Manager of Soldiers and Horses is true. Isn't everything ready to send troops to Hezhou?"
Zhang Yue said to Cai Tianshen: "What I saw on the school field today, Cai Chaofan must have seen it. The first general on this road is training troops. Could it be that the soldiers trained by Cai Chaofan using this method cannot be fought?"
The art of war was originated from Cai Ting. Zhang Yue asked Cai Tianshen these words, and the other party replied: "Of course."
Gao Zunyu said: "It's not that the soldiers can't do it. Xixia is gathering at the border..."
Zhang Yue coughed lightly, and at this time several people entered, including Lu Shengqing, Wen Jifu, and Xing Shu.
Zhang Yuezao knew that Gao Zunyu's arrival was not good and asked these three people to be his thugs.
When Gao Zunyu saw three low-ranking officials entering the house, he scolded him: "Why are you so rash? Is this where you came from?"
Lu Shengqing said shamelessly: "I know that Commander Cai Cao is here to punish me, and I have been here for a long time. I have admired your name for a long time, so I would like to propose a glass of wine..."
Zhang Yue on the side said: "Although this is against the rules, I still have respect and sincerity. Come in!"
After making a toast, Lu Shengqing sat down and said: "I just heard from General Manager Gao about Xixia's gathering, but I haven't seen anyone yet. I am stupid and don't know where General Manager Gao got the news? Can I allow you to check it out?"
Gao Zunyu said calmly: "I don't need to explain to you."
Cai Tianshen was appointed as the visiting envoy by Wang Anshi, and he was also a member of the New Party. He also knew Lu Shengqing. His elder brother was Wang Anshi's leader and the protector of the new party, Lu Huiqing.
It is said that Lu Huiqing is the most narrow-minded and cunning person. This person's younger brother is under Zhang Yue's account, which shows the relationship between Zhang Yue and Lu. If he offends Zhang Yue, he will never be able to hang out with the New Party in the future.
This is the credit for the establishment of Hezhou. Zhang Yue can divide it if he wants to, but if he doesn't want to divide it, that's it.
Cai Tianshen thought of this and remained neutral.
Seeing that Cai Tianshen was only drinking and not talking, Gao Zunyu then reported Yuan Zhongtong's matter to Zhang Muzhi. He also produced Yuan Zhongtong's confession and requested that Guan Gou's pacification envoy Huang Cha be arrested on the spot. The three generals are kings and kings.
Xing Shu said: "May I ask the Chief Minister, Yuan Zhongtong is also an official of the Economic and Strategic Department. You took someone without permission from the Economic and Strategic Department. Did you report this matter to the Economic and Strategic Department in advance?"
Although Yuan Zhongtong was recommended by Wang Shao, he was still from the Economic and Strategy Department. Gao Zunyu arrested Zhang Yue without passing by, which was like a slap in Zhang Yue's face.
Gao Zunyu said: "I will explain this matter to Your Majesty, but Yuan Zhongtong's crimes are true in every aspect. There are confessions to prove it, and there is also evidence of stolen goods. It is inconvenient to present it here."
Cai Yanqing, Cai Tianshen, and Zhang Muzhi took a look at it and found that the confession was indeed conclusive.
Gao Zunyu said: "As long as Wang Junwan is captured, Huang and Cha will be able to get to the bottom of things."
Wen Jifu said: "It's just some money coming in and out, is it worth making such a fuss about? What's more, a war is about to happen. Is this an investigation or a threat?"
Zhang Muzhi said: "I am familiar with you, who is this?"
Wen Jifu said: "The lower official is Wen Jifu, the general judge of Xizhou."
Zhang Muzhi suddenly said: "It turns out that you are Mr. Liu Lang of Mr. Wen Xiang's family. I am disrespectful and disrespectful."
What Zhang Muzhi respected was not Wen Jifu, but Wen Yanbo who was behind Wen Jifu.
Zhang Muzhi thought to himself, this chapter is so good that it can conquer Lu Shengqing and Wen Jifu.
One of them is from the new party and the other is from the old party. They both work for Zhang Yue. This kind of ability is really unexpected.
Cai Yanqing also learned that Wen Jifu had not long been an official in Xizhou. Because Zhang Yue had appointed a new officer, the appointment documents for Wenjifu and Wenjifu were still on their way to Xizhou.
Gao Zunyu strongly requested that Huang Cha and Wang Junwan be detained first to investigate the matter to the bottom of the matter.
But Zhang Yue and the others were firmly opposed. Huang Cha and Wang Junwan were both Wang Shao's confidants. It would be fine if Huang Cha was arrested, but Wang Junwan is now the general in charge of the army. After the war, he became Xihe Road. Three generals, with eight thousand men and horses, are about to enter Hezhou to conquer Mu Zheng.
Wang Junwan was arrested on the spot, not to mention that the attack on Hezhou was going to be ruined. If it went wrong, it would trigger a mutiny.
Zhang Muzhi said: "I heard from Prime Minister Xue repeatedly saying that there is a problem with Shi Yisi's affairs. Now, should we investigate it? Let Cao Caoshuai make a decision!"
Seeing Zhang Muzhi move out the Third Chief of Staff Xue Xiang, Cai Yanqing hesitated and said: "This matter...this matter...it's better to call him and ask him, what does Zhang Jinglue mean?"
Zhang Yue said: "Wang Junwan is not in Tongyuan Army now!"
Gao Zunyu said bitterly: "If Wang Jun dares not to be there, he will be punished for the crime of fleeing because of fear!"
…
After a day of discussion, no appropriate decision was reached, and they ended up unhappy.
At this moment, from Weiyuan Fort to Nanguan, a Song army transporting grain and baggage had just been plundered by hundreds of Tibetan soldiers.
The leader of the Tibetan army is Yao Sifu, who was the most loyal to Mu Zheng. Now he is returning to the Tibetan tribe with the looted grain and grass and the captured Song army.
When Yao Sifu was passing through a valley, there were big trees on all sides, covering the valley with their shade.
The cool breeze made Yao Sifu feel comfortable, and he couldn't help but lift up his clothes and let the wind rush into his arms.
At this moment, a shadow flew past on the hill. When Yao Sifu reacted, he saw a man and a horse rushing towards him with guns in hand.
When Yao Si was about to draw his sword, he was already too late and was stabbed straight into the heart by the other party's gun, causing him to fall from his horse.
Then countless shouts of killing came...
After a while, Yao Sifu's head was hung on the horse by Wang Junwan, and the grain and grass stolen by the Fan army were recaptured.
Wang Junwan said to the left and right: "We will take one-third of the baggage, and the rest will be sent to Lintao."
A general said: "Would we take too much like this?"
Wang Junwan scolded: "What's more? I helped them get back the food and grass on this trip, and I don't have to charge any interest. It's good to give them this."
The generals all laughed after hearing this, and the soldiers below were also very happy.
"Will the Prime Minister's Association audit the accounts in the future?"
Wang Junwan smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? Mr. Jinglue is still trying to be serious with me. Can't I count each grain of rice?"
The Fan tribe continued to plunder the grain and grass transported by the Song army to Xizhou. Wang Junwan used the plunder of grain and grass from the Fan tribe to use the looted grain and grass for his own use, which was regarded as hunting rabbits with grass.
As it happened, the morale of Wang Junwan's soldiers was very high, and they were also very active in exterminating the robbers.
Wang Junwan said again: "The rest of you will follow me to clear out the Tibetan tribes in this area. Damn it, I must kill these thieves."
While he was talking, a rider came straight up and said, "General Qi, Wang Jinglue said that someone is going to arrest you. Let me tell you to quickly go into the mountains to hide."
Wang Junwan heard this and cursed: "Who dares to arrest me?"
"It's the Criminal Division, saying that General you embezzled the salt money used by the imperial court to buy horses from the Tibetan tribe!"
When Wang Junwan heard this, he immediately cursed. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
But having said that, the imperial court only allocated so much money. If you want your soldiers to use their lives, how can you send out troops without special rewards? Besides, since I have lived and died for the imperial court, there is no harm in taking more.
Wang Junwan scolded: "Those civil servants in the imperial court are useless at killing the enemy on the battlefield, but they are extremely good at dealing with our own soldiers."
"Forcing us to have no way to survive?"
The soldiers below also followed suit and cursed: "Let's kill these dog civil servants to relieve our anger."
Wang Junwanna glared and said, "Are you going to rebel?"
"If you are not allowed to kill, what should you do?"
Wang Junwan said: "I can hide and hide as long as I can bend and stretch. It's just that I can't kill the enemy. Instead, I have to hide from these people everywhere. It's really hateful."
