Song Qingwen made a decision, stabilized her body's injuries and quickly left the city.
As the leader of the Blood Moon Organization, he has enough bases whether in Yunzhong County or outside the city. Many locations are known to everyone in the Blood Moon Organization, and some locations are only known to Song Qingwen.
Song Qingwen returned to a secret place in Zhuangzi and arranged for someone to send a message to Wanyanming, telling Wanyanming that the assassination had failed. Then, Song Qingwen quietly waited for news while recovering from her injuries.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Song Qingwen received the latest news that the army led by Zhao Shan was coming to Yunzhong County.
In the past three days, Wanyanming's general Yelu Baoji has led his army to attack Yunzhong County.
Zhang Xun, the prefect of Yunzhong, was very fierce. Not only did he flexibly organize the soldiers to guard the city, but he was also a peerless general. He shuttled around the city tower with one man and one sword, and cooperated with the soldiers' defense, killing countless attacking Jin soldiers, and the defense was impeccable.
Yelu Baoji tried every means but failed to capture Yunzhong County, and could only watch Zhao Shan's army move north.
Zhao Shan's army arrived outside Yunzhong County and stationed outside the city without entering the city.
More than 50,000 elite troops are stationed, as are 3,000 Xuanjia troops. The camp covers several miles and is extremely wide, and the camp arranged by Li Buyi is very heavily defended.
After Zhao Shan was stationed, Zhang Xun was relieved. While he arranged for people to guard Yunzhong County, he personally went out of the city to the military camp to meet him.
Under the leadership of the soldiers, Zhang Xun entered the Chinese army's tent. When he saw Zhao Shanhou, he clasped his fists and said, "I, Zhang Xun, pay homage to your majesty."
Zhao Shan looked Zhang Xun up and down, with an expression of approval on his face, and praised: "Zhang Qing single-handedly blocked Wan Yanming's army to the north of Yunzhong County, ensuring the safety of Yunzhong and protecting countless people. , the merit is great, and he can be called the pillar of the country."
Zhang Xun said quickly: "Your Majesty, thank you very much. I just did my duty."
Zhao Shan lamented: "Daqan in the past few years, and even the period further back, the government was in chaos. There were eunuchs interfering in politics, vassals causing chaos outside, countless bandits, and foreign barbarians watching eagerly. ."
"When the people are in dire straits and the country is in chaos, you, Zhang Xun, and people like Qin Zhong, Yue Feipeng, and Wei Polu stick to their hearts and work diligently day after day."
"This is how the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough wind knows the loyal ministers."
"You guys are the pillars of the country and the foundation for Daqian to persevere."
Zhao Shan did not hesitate to praise and said: "It is precisely because of your selfless dedication that Daqian has a future, and Daqian can quickly correct the chaos and develop and recover."
Zhang Xun bowed slightly and said solemnly: "General Qin Zhong guarded Tongguan and blocked the invasion of Xiliang. He is the pillar of the country. General Yue Feipeng guarded Xingyang, guarded the main roads and protected Luoyang's safety. General Wei Polu was like the god of war. Without them, where would we be? As a border official, I dare not compare with them."
Zhao Shan laughed after hearing this.
Zhang Xun is very good.
He is a local civil servant who can govern a place. He is a local general who can lead troops to fight. There are many people who are good at both civil and military skills, but Zhang Xun is not only good at both civil and military skills, but he is also humble and knows how to advance and retreat.
There are very few such people.
Zhao Shan ordered: "Come, give me a seat!"
The soldier brought a stool, and Zhang Xun sat down with half his buttocks, and he was respectful and polite.
Zhao Shan asked: "Wan Yanming's troops are approaching the north of Yunzhong County. How do you think this battle should be fought?"
Zhang Xundao: "I will obey your Majesty's orders."
Zhao Shan flicked his sleeves and ordered: "You are an official guarding the border. You are familiar with the situation in Yunzhong County and even more familiar with the situation in the Kingdom of Jin. Feel free to speak freely and don't have any worries."
"How do you think we can defeat the Jin army?"
"In my place, you will not waste words, nor will you create any literary inquisition, nor will you be punished just because you make contrary suggestions. Even in the battles on the front lines of the battlefield, I will not interfere excessively, and will not interfere too much. Micromanaging every move on the front lines.”
Zhang Xun solemnly said: "Your Majesty asked, and I dared to speak."
Zhao Shandao: "Just say it!"
Zhang Xun replied: "Your Majesty, it is already October, and the weather in the North is getting colder and colder. It has not snowed yet in Yunzhong County this year, but it will definitely snow in another month at most."
"If the temperature drops sharply, it may snow within half a month. In such cold weather, the longer the war drags on, the more anxious the Jin Kingdom will be, and the more stable we will be."
"The battlefield is in Yunzhong County, within our territory of Daqian. It is equivalent to a local battle."
“It’s easier to transport grain and fodder in large areas.”
"On the one hand, we can transport food from Luoyang; on the other hand, we can also transport food from Jizhou, enter Bingzhou via Taihang Baxing, and send the food to Yunzhong County. In addition to the food stored in Yunzhong County itself, even if it is His Majesty's Including tens of thousands of troops, we can support it until the beginning of next spring."
"In short, there is no shortage of food in Daqian."
Zhang Xun talked eloquently and even more confidently, and replied: "As for the Jin Kingdom, there is a shortage of food. Why did the Jin Kingdom go south? In fact, the Jin Kingdom suffered a drought this summer, and there were not enough cattle and sheep, and there was a shortage of materials."
Zhao Shan showed an approving smile on his face and said: "Zhang Qing's words cleared the air and made everything clear to me. I adopt your opinion and stay put for the time being to delay time with the Kingdom of Jin."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Zhang Xun breathed a long sigh of relief.
The emperor listened and this was a good thing.
What he feared most was that if the emperor encountered a war, he would be bewitched by the eunuchs around him and force a war, ruining all the advantages and even becoming a prisoner.
Zhao Shan can fight tough battles, win battles, and restrain himself. This is not easy.
This is a good thing.
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "Zhang Qing, the war with the Kingdom of Jin is over, I will transfer you to the court as an official, are you willing?"
Zhang Xun hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am not willing to serve as an official in the court."
Zhao Shan asked: "Why?"
Zhang Xun explained: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the reason why I am not willing to serve as an official in the court is because the life of the people in Bingzhou is very difficult. Unlike Jizhou and Jingzhou, which are thousands of miles of fertile land, there is enough fertile land for farming."
"Bingzhou is also close to the border of the Jin Kingdom. The people are often robbed by the Jin Kingdom, and life is difficult."
"I am willing to stay in Yunzhong County and govern the people well."
"This is my wish."
Zhang Xun said: "To be honest with you, your majesty, I once wished to be a general who conquered the north. He could conquer the northern Jin Kingdom and ensure the safety of the Northern Territory of Daqian, so that the people in the Northern Territory of Daqian would never be invaded by barbarians again." harassment."
Zhao Shanxiao said: "I will fulfill your long-cherished wish. After this battle, I will transfer you to be the governor of Bingzhou. It happened that when I was going north, the governor of Bingzhou, Ding You, went to observe filial piety because his father died of illness."
Zhang Xun said seriously: "I will do my best to live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
Zhao Shan encouraged Zhang Xun some more, and then he asked Zhang Xun to go to Yunzhong County.
The defense of the camp has been arranged long ago, and Li Buyi is responsible for everything. Zhao Shan does not need to worry at all.
Zhao Shan and Zhou Huhou changed into plain clothes and left the camp to go near Yunzhong County to investigate the situation near the Jin Kingdom camp and to observe the layout of the entire Jin Kingdom camp from a nearby high place.
This is Zhao Shan's habit.
Only by understanding the nearby topography and investigating the layout of the enemy camp at close range can we obtain the most authentic information.
The two of them were dressed in ordinary people's clothes, riding horses through the neighborhood, and first observed the Jin Kingdom camp up close.
The Jin Kingdom Camp stretches for several miles.
The defense is tight, the layout is reasonable, and it is not easy to attack.
After Zhao Shan observed it, he took Zhou Huhou to the distant mountains and forests to climb up and have a closer look. Zhao Shan and Zhou Huhou rode on horseback and left the Jin Kingdom camp. They gradually approached a nearby stream and went deeper along the stream.
This secret place deep in the stream is surprisingly the place where Black Rose Song Qingwen took a bath.
