Zhang Jun welcomed his lord general Yue Fei, who could not lead more than a thousand troops.
"Zhang Jun has heard the name of General Yue for a long time, and he is very lucky to meet him today!"
Today Zhang Jun is a very smooth man. He and Yue Fei have never met, but he knows that this is a popular figure in the official family, and he knows that the other party's official position is now just the commander of the Marshal's Mansion.
Even if the place is leveled, it is just a state. If you want to go up, it is inconsistent with etiquette.
But... that's what I said, but in this age, it doesn't depend on the favor of the official. If the official is willing, I'm afraid Yue Fei can rise up in a blink of an eye, and he can become a strategic minister with just a word. Things.
"Please wait a moment, General Zhang Jun."
Chen Dong interrupted Zhang Jun just after he saluted, and then walked up to him.
Zhang Jun had already overestimated Yue Fei, but he found that in the end he underestimated Yue Fei's status in the eyes of the officials.
"Chen Dong leads the imperial student to pay homage to His Majesty!"
In front of the two armies, Chen Dong, an envoy from the imperial court, bowed to Zhao Huan and fell to the ground in public.
"Da Sicheng has not arrived yet with His Majesty's guard of honor. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
If Zhao Huan wants to show his identity, ceremonial equipment is naturally indispensable, as Zhao Huan's confidant.
Chen Dong and Zhao Ye, who came to Jiangnan this time, naturally divided their labors and cooperated.
Chen Dong arrived first and was responsible for advising Zhang Jun, but did not inquire about information for Zhao Huan. Zhao Ye waited at the rear for the honor guard and Zhao Huan's personal troops, and then went to the south of the Yangtze River together.
As for whether such a big movement will be blocked.
Yao Pingzhong, who is Zhao Huan's confidant general and also the commander of the bodyguard, said.
"The Jin people can do nothing for me. If these thieves dare to commit crimes, then he might as well show these guys the strength of the imperial court!"
At this time, Chen Dong's words made Zhang Jun on the side stunned. He would definitely not doubt Chen Dong's identity, and now he would naturally not doubt that Chen Dong was teasing him with this kind of thing at this time.
Look at Yue Fei's calm face and Zhao Huan's young face.
Zhang Jun also quickly fell to the ground.
"I'll wait to see your Majesty!"
The moment Yue Fei bowed and saluted, everyone reacted, and the sound of mountains roaring and tsunami echoed in Zhao Huan's ears again.
"This is a serious matter in the army, so keep everything simple. Just ask for it." Zhao Huan did not enjoy this feeling too much. He had only one purpose in revealing his identity.
Giving Yue Fei a legitimate opportunity to command the army, although he could rely on his own favor to override his duties, would eventually make people say that Yue Fei relied on the favor of his superiors.
This is nothing to the world, but it is not fair to Yue Fei himself.
In the Chinese army's tent, Zhao Huan did not take advantage of Zhang Jun, nor did he talk about the fields and ridges under his name, or directly inquire about the war.
"What is the situation in Hongzhou? Why did the general dare not send troops easily despite having a large army at his disposal for so long?
Since I am not familiar with military affairs, I will not blame you unreasonably, but I hope the general can explain something to me. "
Zhang Jun's heart lifted when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the comforting second half, he let out a sigh of relief.
As a general, what worries you most is that your superiors don't know how to give random orders.
Although Zhao Huan wanted to explain, he never blamed him for forcing the troops to be sent out. This can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes.
"Your Majesty, the reason why we can't hold on is not because we are timid. The main reason is that the situation in Hongzhou is very strange and difficult to deal with.
First, General Ma Jin under Li Cheng's command was stationed in Hongzhou. Li Cheng was a huge bandit in the Jianghuai area. Because of His Majesty's purge of the court and his insistence on Kaifeng, we easily suppressed him.
He had no choice but to defect to Liu Yu.
Now that he has made a comeback, not only is he stronger than before, but his logistics supplies are even more abundant.
With his support, he quickly gathered many bandits and water thieves in the Hongzhou area, and gathered the people and mobs, which now number in the tens of thousands.
Follow that one with..."
When Zhang Jun said this, he glanced at Yue Fei and continued after seeing that he had no expression.
"Zhang Yong surrendered and rebelled again. Although he only occupies a few counties now, his strength cannot be underestimated. In addition, he is in a strategic location and can support several forces at any time.
It can also allow several forces to connect with each other.
If the army is dispatched, our rear area will definitely be unstable.
Now that we occupy a part of Hongzhou, we can attrition the enemy. We can move slowly and then look for good opportunities. "
"What opportunity does the General await?"
"The land south of the Yangtze River is now in chaos, and the battlefields from all directions are fighting against each other, but in the final analysis, these bandits have their own problems.
Let’s talk about the most powerful Prime Minister Yang Yao first, who occupied Dongting Lake and was supported by the people in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the remnants of Manichaeism back then.
It can be said that the time, place, people and people are all in place, but their problems are also huge. Their problems are not external but internal.
The fairness that Zhong Xiang wanted was the greatest unfairness to Yang Yao. Yang Yao, who was only in his early twenties, was just when he wanted to become famous, and so were many of his generals.
Even if Yang Yao could control his desires, his generals would not sit back and watch this happen.
Therefore, there will definitely be discord between Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao. If we can plan from it, we can break it.
Let's talk about Cao Cheng. He seems to have a mighty army, but he is caught between General Yue and Commander Zong and has too much time to take care of himself. I think Your Majesty must also know about the alliance between Cao Cheng and Yang Yao.
This is also a helpless strategy. If they don't unite, he will be the one who is most likely to be eliminated.
Finally, let's talk about Ma Jin. It is indeed an excellent opportunity for this person to appear in such a situation, but after all, he has a bad background. If Li Cheng is still a bandit, then.
He could join forces with Cao Cheng and Yang Yao.
But now that Li Cheng has surrendered to Liu Yu, it can even be said that he surrendered to the Jin people. Both Yang Yao and Cao Cheng are quite wary of him.
Zhang Yong's theory of surrendering and then rebelling was more of a buffer to connect the three parties, which is why the general refused to touch Zhang Yong.
He is buffering the forces of the three parties, and is also letting Cao Cheng and Zhong Xiang consider rejecting.
If not, it would not be Zhang Yong's turn to stay in this place.
If we want to break the situation at this time, we must either defeat one party with lightning speed, or wait for the conflict between Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao, and wait for Dongting Lake to be in chaos and have no time to take care of itself.
The last general can then join forces with General Yue to send troops, break the horse and then fight Cao Cheng, and finally attack Dongting Lake and sweep the south of the Yangtze River! "
There is no problem with this calculation. Even Zhao Huan, who was not familiar with the art of war, knew that this was the safest way.
But he still set his sights on Yue Fei aside, wanting to see what he thought.
"The general has no choice but to do this." Yue Fei's words made Zhang Jun embarrassed.
"I've heard for a long time that General Yue is amazingly talented, but now I see that his eyesight is really sharp."
"General, it's too much!" Yue Fei promised in a low voice, "Actually, the best way is to break it all the way, but because the three parties are now entangled, if the army is sent out, the troops of the three parties will become closer, and even the existing conflicts will be transferred.
Therefore, breaking it all the way can make this tripartite force fail, but it is also very dangerous. "
"That's exactly what the general said." Zhang Jun nodded silently, "This tripartite force is the most difficult to break. To break it requires truly elite troops, and there must not be too many soldiers and horses.
This is the most terrible place.
It is not that there are no loyal and brave warriors under a certain family, Wang De, Yang Yizhong and Tian Shizhong are all like this.
But if they are asked to lead a small number of troops to do such a thing, it would be a bit..."
When he said the last words, he was also full of helplessness. He, Zhang Jun, started from a young age, and Wang De was his veteran, and he had been by his side since he started.
Tian Shizhong was a subordinate of Liang Fangping, the chamberlain at that time. It was not easy to escape after that and finally came to Zhang Jun.
As for Yang Yizhong, this person has a great future.
Let's not talk about Yang Yizhong's ability, but his origin. His grandfather Yang Zongmin was the general manager of Yongxing Military Road, and guarded Yongxing together with Tang Zhong.
His father, Yang Zhen, once knew Jianning Village in Linzhou. Both his grandfather and father died in battle when the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty.
If it's just like this, it can't be said how far it came from.
His great-grandfather died at the hands of the Khitans, and his great-great-grandfather was the famous Song Dynasty general Yang Wudi.
That's right, this guy is the Song Dynasty general of this generation, the only remaining general of the Yang family.
In the end, he got to the point where he served as Zhang Jun's deputy general. Zhao Huan said that his Yang family couldn't get along anymore, but he was really not lying.
However, although General Xiao Yang was a general of the Song Dynasty, he was different from other generals. Although the Yang family was no longer good, the integrity of the Yang family was still there.
He is tall and tall, has a calm temperament, is agile at a young age, can endorse hundreds of words, and has superhuman strength.
He has been saying since he was a child, "A man should use martial arts to gain wealth, how can he be so submissive and become a corrupt scholar?"
Yang Yizhong's grandfather Yang Zongmin and father Yang Zhen were both angered to death by his words.
I finally waited for a capable person, thinking that he could revitalize the Yang family, but in the end, he blocked his future with a slanderous comment.
It’s the damned rotten scholar who is submissive!
This is such a curse...
However, this guy is good at riding and shooting, proficient in the art of war, and he was also a hero for a while. He followed Song Jiang Fangla and other rebellious armies to pacify him, and then gradually got involved with Zhong Yi Lang.
But then he fell into the hands of Zhang Jun, which was a kind of suppression. Fortunately, Zhang Jun was pretty good to him.
This prevented him from dying directly depressed.
Now Zhang Jun's helplessness also made Zhao Huan Yuefei look at each other and smile. It is not that there are no generals in the Song Dynasty who can fight, but they are not everywhere!
But Zhang Jun doesn’t have it, but Yue Fei has it.
"General Zhang Jun, a certain family has a plan that can directly defeat Ma Jin and speed up the problem between Yang Yaozhong and Prime Minister!"
"What's General Yue's plan?"
"A certain family personally led a thousand men from their headquarters to defeat Ma Jin!" Yue Fei held his head high and held his chest high, "A thousand men are enough to defeat Ma Jin. This time, please let the general see what Yue's methods are!"
