Zhang Wen led the army to the expedition, and his army list was luxurious. With the blessing of such generals, even if Zhang Wen was not as good as Huangfu Song, it was not impossible to make up for it.
In addition, the Qiang and Hu in the northwest have been repelled, and I don’t know how many people feel that they have a chance to win in the northwest.
In this regard, they are rushing to board this must-win ship and add some credit to themselves!
Moreover, the world is not unaware of Zhang Wen’s past as the new cavalry general.
It is said that this cavalry general was not normally recommended by the local county, but by "coincidence" he was valued by Cao Teng of Great Changqiu, and was recommended and appreciated!
And with the support of Cao Da Changqiu, he quickly became the great minister of agriculture in the court. He was in charge of the money and food of the great men, and he also became his majesty's confidant.
Later, a few years ago, when the court was in chaos due to the chaos of the party and the rebellion of the three princes, he relied on some not so good means to become Sikong, one of the three princes.
There are actually divergent opinions on his ascending to the position of the Three Lords. There are all kinds of arguments, but they all say that he came to this position in an unfair way.
However, the court has been in chaos in recent years. Even so, there is nothing to say without conclusive evidence. Moreover, the family is extremely famous and was born in the same year as Cao Da Changqiu.
This... is not worth the bad words others say.
It's just that these experiences don't matter, those things that people value, the experience of this cavalry general, whether he was the great farmer who was in charge of the world's money and food in the first place.
Or it could be Sikong, one of the three princes in charge of rituals and sacrifices in the court.
It doesn't matter which of these two positions...is related to leading troops in battle.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Wen...Whether he can fight or not is a question in itself, and he frequently asks for orders to lead his own troops, which makes people feel a little unstable.
This may be the thing that many ministers in the court are most worried about. I only hope that Zhang Wen's character can maintain the caution he has now.
If not for anything else, at least as long as he maintains his cautious character, then he will not be defeated.
But what no one expected was that this was before the war started, and even Zhang Wen hadn't entered the northwest battlefield.
He first gave himself some surprises, or let the world have some accidents because of him...
As the commander of the army, Zhang Wen was not helpless. He asked many people about this and carefully studied the battle situation in the northwest.
I know that the imperial court has been unable to break the situation in the northwest, mainly because of the lack of cavalry.
Therefore, in order to solve the problem of cavalry, Zhang Wen decided to go to Youzhou to recruit Wuhuan Jingqi, with the intention of using Wuhuan Jingqi to fight against the Qiang and Huqi rebels.
There is nothing wrong with Zhang Wen's idea.
But... Zhang Chun, the former Zhongshan governor of Han Dynasty, who fled back to his hometown due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion and lost his official position, found Zhang Wen at this time.
His purpose is also very simple, that is, to request to join Zhang Wen's command, so that after making contributions, he can return to his former position.
And he wasn't just saying it, this person belonged to a local wealthy family, and it was also a very powerful one.
He still had a good relationship with Wuhuan, so he was willing to go with his own troops, hoping that he could return to the embrace of the Han court.
Zhang Chunke has absolute confidence in this kind of rhetoric. After all, he really can't think of Zhang Wen's reason for rejecting him.
Moreover, Zhang Chun had been hooking up with Qiu Liju, a leader of Wuhuan, and caused a lot of trouble in Youzhou.
If he is willing to surrender, it will be great for the entire Youzhou.
Regardless of what Zhang Wen thought about his surrender, there was indeed a lot of controversy within Youzhou.
Among them, Gongsun Zan, who replaced Zong Yuan and others and became the first person in charge of the army in Youzhou, faced this kind of thing, and his attitude was silent.
He could not resist Zhang Wen, nor could he have any ideas or remarks about the court's orders.
But he also disliked Zhang Chun. In Gongsun Zan's eyes, the dead Zhang Chun was the best Zhang Chun.
It's just that... this is the first time to recruit Youzhou. After Zhang Wen's second recruitment of Wuhuan cavalry, there are actually not many soldiers and horses in Youzhou.
They also wanted to control the Wuhuan and Xianbei people with evil intentions. It would be a bit unsafe to allocate soldiers and cavalry from their hands again at this time.
So Gongsun Zan was unwilling, but he didn't say a word.
But it was different from Tao Qian, the governor of Youzhou. After learning about this matter, he immediately expressed his approval!
After all, as the governor of Youzhou, his attitude towards Youzhou at this time is still very obvious, that is, he hopes that Youzhou can continue to be stable, even if he needs to rely on Jizhou and Qingzhou for support.
But if you can stay stable and be someone's son...it's not impossible to be a little humble.
And now one of the most unstable reasons for Youzhou is Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju. They and the rebellion... They are almost a rebellion!
At this time, Zhang Chun is willing to surrender, which is really a good thing.
Then Zhang Wen looked at the attitudes of the two people, and finally told Gongsun Zan what he meant before turning around...
"Kill them, it's not a pity to die for thieves and bandits!"
As a cavalry general of the imperial court, as Zhang Wen who finally became a general of the imperial court, how could he be at his most proud moment?
Let yourself be threatened by such villains?
kill him!
Zhang Wen had no other ideas.
But this time Zhang Wen felt comfortable, but Tao Qian was shocked!
Tao Qian even had the urge to slap Zhang Wen to death and ask him if he knew what he was doing!
As the governor of Youzhou, Tao Qian looked at the chariot general Zhang Wen.
His expression is no longer a question of good or bad. If it weren't for the difference between the top and the bottom and the imminent war, he would have killed him with a stick.
And just because of Zhang Wen's words, Gongsun Zan, who had been hesitating at first, finally stopped hesitating and started attacking Zhang Chun directly.
Together with Zhang Ju, who was allied with Zhang Chun, and the Wuhuan leader Qiu Liju, they all became the people Gongsun Zan needed to attack.
He doesn't care whether he has this ability now. In Gongsun Zan's mind, as long as he starts attacking, there will still be a gap in strength between all the troops.
They are just factors that affect how he wins.
But these are definitely not things that will affect him!
When Zhang Wen left Youzhou and was about to rush to the northwest to join the army, Gongsun Zhu on the other side took this opportunity to speak directly to Huangfu Song.
Then he broke away from the imperial army.
Of course, Gongsun Zhu would definitely not dare to do anything to flee because of the imperial appointment.
It's just that he didn't want to waste time here. Just looking at what Zhang Wen did during this period, Gongsun Zhu knew that something was definitely wrong.
He, Zhang Wen, was definitely not a person who could lead him to victory, and since Zhang Wen had lowered his tone, he might as well just take the opportunity to withdraw before talking.
As for the reason...he is going to take office!
