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, I was in the Imperial Palace of Xizhou City.

Zhang Yue called Cai Jing and other close aides and told them that he had fallen out with Wang Zhongzheng.

At this moment, except Zhang Kai who was leading troops on the front line, Shen Kuo was building a city in Minzhou, and Zhang Yue called all his staff.

The staff members were silent for a while. The falling out between the leading general and the supervisory army was very detrimental to both of them.

The Song army still retained the legacy of the Tang Dynasty officials supervising the army. Examples of supervisors rising above the leading generals, stealing power and command, and even forcing the generals to death, such as Guo Xie. What's more, Wang Zhongzheng is a person deeply trusted by the emperor.

But Cai Jing came forward and said: "It's better to fall out. Since there is discord, why bother to compromise. It's better to cause trouble to the emperor. This is 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 an epidemic."

"Actually, we have dealt with it in time, but Wang Zhongzheng deliberately 'claimed illness', and the commander-in-chief graciously allowed the man to rest in the rear. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhongzheng was ungrateful and bypassed the commander-in-chief to communicate with Wang Junwan and other generals to consult the commander-in-chief 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, secretly reporting the information to the emperor through secret reports, and even spying on the generals' preferences and detecting all illegal things.

Moreover, the documents reported by the generals to the emperor must be accepted by zuma.

Therefore, Wang Zhongzheng could seize Zhang Yue's memorial to the emperor. Of course, if Zhang Yue wanted to bypass the horse and bear the burden, he could also submit the memorial to the emperor alone, but this would be embarrassing.

Once the leading general and the supervisor had their own opinions on the emperor's proposal. The emperor will judge which of these two people is lying.

Under normal circumstances, a walking horse is the emperor's confidant, and his words are obviously more trustworthy than those of the generals who lead the army. Therefore, the leading generals all asked their memorials to be forwarded to the emperor through walking horses. black

As for the secret memorial that Zuma accepted for the emperor, he did not need to show it to the other party.

So as a general in charge of the army, you never know what kind of report he made on 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 tolerate this?

Even if this was not the case, Wang Zhongzheng was interfering with the command, gesticulating from the sidelines, and even prying into his own secrets. Therefore, it is conceivable that Guo Jin, a famous general who even the Khitans had no choice but to die at the hands of an eunuch, died in the end.

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, Xihe's military and political affairs were at least controlled by him alone during this period.

This is the advantage of falling out. In addition, there is another advantage, which is that when a new commander or a new strategic envoy arrives in the army, the emperor will not urge him to attack Liangzhou Prefecture or Xingzhou. Mansion. black

The Liangzhou Prefecture and Xingzhou Prefecture are extremely risky to attack for hundreds of miles, and they cannot be defended even if they are stopped. There is only one trick in Zhang's strategy of war, which is to attack shallowly and advance into the building. This large-scale deep attack should be carried out by a famous general like Huo Wei. Wang Shao is also good at this, but a mediocre general like himself cannot 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 of my husband-in-law to explain the matter to him and ask them to advise me on the official side."

At this time, Wen Jifu said: "Commander Qi, it has been more than a month since the Battle of Tabaicheng, 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 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 one's prestige. black

Now in the entire Xihe Road, except for himself 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 to their father, father-in-law, and elder brother to tell them what was going on here.

The staff have work to do.

As for Zhang Yue, he also wanted to write letters to the emperor and Wu Chong.

At this time, Wu Chong just wrote a letter to himself, which he wrote after he was promoted to the political council. black

The letter also contains words of warning, asking him to use military force against the newly surrendered Mu Zheng and other Tibetan people, and let him 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 Felt. This will also be the case when discussing Dong Fei in the future.

Mu Zheng must be treated kindly, and then Dong Felt 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 a meeting!"

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 know 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: "It turns out that 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 went to martial arts. The generals had no connections, so they originally applied for it. After studying martial arts, I finally had to study agriculture.”

It turns out that my volunteer has been 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. I won't mind because of this. I remember that in the Tang Dynasty, Hei Te Changzhi had five or six thousand hectares of farmland in Hehuang. 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 ancient Wei to Weiyuan, it is the Weishui River Valley. There are fertile fields nearby. It's just that the Tibetan people despise soil 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 grain 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, "Go on." 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. I deeply agree with what you said about the Tibetan people's noble goods and cheap soil, and the Han people's noble soil and cheap soil."

"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.

In addition, he asked whether the plan to march into Xingzhou or Liangzhou Prefecture was completed.

Zhang Yue frowned immediately 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 have not yet been received, but for now, the troops and horses are exhausted after the battle, and preparations in all aspects are immature.

And what happened to Zhentu’s entry into Beijing? Does the emperor want to remotely control the battle situation from 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 defeated Qingtang and then attacked Lanzhou. How could he use troops like this?

Zhang Yue summoned his staff to discuss all night long. This was not only a way to brainstorm and draw on the strengths of others, 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, everyone seemed to be 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, and 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 county from his subordinates, and they may still 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 this training in the future, I will definitely be more able to deal with problems.

So the staff discussed a solution overnight.
