Zhang Yong looked at Zhao Huan in front of him. At this time, he still thought that this man was the supervisory general assigned by the imperial court to Yue Fei. Zhang Yong even doubted whether this man was a eunuch...
After all, the Song court had this habit.
But at this time, regardless of whether Zhao Huan was a eunuch or not, Zhang Yong knew the choice he had to face.
"The general has come in person now, which can be said to have given Zhang Yong enough face, and Zhang Yong is grateful.
A certain family is not a ungrateful person. General Yue Fei is very kind to a certain family. The two of us are close friends from the same hometown, so we know everything about them.
Now, you and I both know why the general sent General Yue's letter.
If a certain family surrenders but then rebels again, it is the family's luck that General Yue refuses to blame him, but if a certain family continues to be capricious..."
"The general is not repetitive, he is just blinded by illusion."
Zhao Huan knew what Zhang Yong was thinking. He was not worried about his reputation. This guy was simply hesitant and couldn't find a suitable reason.
This guy is full of contradictions in his heart, and he is extremely easy to be persuaded. Overall, this is what Yue Fei said about him.
If you kill him, you will regret the world.
If you don't kill him, you'll be sorry for yourself.
Zhang Yong needed a reason, and Zhao Huan gave him one.
"The reason why the general was persuaded by the Prime Minister Yang Yao, Cao Cheng and others was simply because they told the general that the court was unjust, causing trouble for the people of the world and leaving the world with almost no usable people.
Zhong Xiang's words about equalizing the rich and the poor between the rich and the poor are tempting, and it is natural for the general to be deceived by him.
But as the saying goes, false words are not enough to achieve success. Now that the chaos in Dongting Lake has come, the general already knows that these false words are not the right path.
There is no need for the general to continue to persist, why not return to General Yue's command once he has lost his way.
Together with General Yue, he defended the Song Dynasty and served the world. "
Zhao Huan gave Zhang Yong enough reasons and another chance to regain his life. Yue Fei's letter also gave him enough face.
Zhang Yong thought about it again and again, and finally chose to understand his own armor and surrender again with his troops and horses.
Zhao Huan looked at this guy and couldn't help but marvel.
"Zhang Yong is not a duplicitous person, he is just greedy for life and afraid of death. When he finds out that we are surrounded, he will naturally think of betraying us again and then sever ties with us.
When problems arise in this situation, he will naturally reconsider.
Once I give him a way out, he will naturally think of returning to the right path. "
These were the exact words Yue Fei told Zhao Huan before he left. Yue Fei really knew about his fellow countryman.
And Yue Fei also added something.
"If the Jin invades now, even if we are in a desperate situation, he will persist until the last moment and then escape, instead of surrendering and rebelling like now!"
This is great justice.
Zhao Huan watched Zhang Yong hand over his troops and horses again, with a smile on his face even when he was alone.
"General, is this Dongting Lake incident really inevitable?"
When no one was around, Zhang Yong found Zhao Huan and asked about the matter.
“Because Prime Minister Zhong has endured hardship, he doesn’t want his descendants to suffer, but just because he doesn’t want his descendants to endure hardship, his descendants will not have the experience he did.
This is a two-blocked road, and naturally he can't go through it. "
Zhang Yong didn't know if he understood it, but he knew that there was one thing he really didn't understand.
"Then what should the people do? Is there really no way to survive?"
"How can ordinary people have no way to survive? For thousands of years, these ordinary people at the bottom have been the strongest existence." Zhao Huan chuckled, "Don't compare yourself with those officials' children and members of the family.
They have inherited the blessings of their ancestors, and the road is not like this.
Whether they are children of officials or members of the family, their predecessors have endured no less pain than you, and they have all risen from the bottom.
For example, in the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty, Taizu was wearing a yellow robe. Speaking of the Zhao family, Taizu's father was the commander of Longjie Zuoxiangdu and the defense envoy of Yuezhou.
My grandfather was the governor of Zhuozhou, my great-grandfather was a staff member of Lulong Town, and he was also the censor Zhongcheng. Gaozu was also a county magistrate...
It looks like he is a son of an official, but in other words, this great ancestor was unknown before. You can't say that the county magistrate of Emperor Taizu's great-great-grandfather was based on some family affairs.
But I passed the exam myself. After I passed the exam, I encountered the chaos of the late Tang Dynasty. Do you dare to say that this situation is good?
But even so, it still has to go on from generation to generation. It is not something that one generation can do to wear a yellow robe, and it is not something that one generation can do to rise a family, a surname, or even the world.
If there is no hope in this world, it is the fault of the imperial court, but if the imperial court realizes its mistakes, it will eventually be corrected, otherwise the imperial court will no longer be a imperial court.
Hope is indispensable in people's hearts. "
Zhang Yong seemed to understand, but he knew that the person in front of him seemed to have a very special status, or he had a very special brain.
"With this arrangement of Emperor Taizu, are you planning to invest money?"
"..."
In the third year of Jingkang, Zhang Yong led his troops to surrender, Yang Yao consolidated the internal affairs of Dongting Lake, Ma Jin returned in defeat, Li Cheng took the stage personally, Zhang Jun, Yue Fei and other heroes gathered together, Zongze took charge due to illness, and once again led his troops to block the reinforcements of Du Chong and Liu. Yu et al.
Many soldiers and horses gathered here, and Mo Xie shut down Zhang Xian and roared.
"Siege the city!"
With a loud roar, General Zhang Xian was the first to break the situation head-on. As Yue Fei's top general, after Yue Fei left, he directly took over the position of commander-in-chief of the Yue Family Army.
Yang Yao blocked his way forward, and Cao Cheng blocked his way to retreat. The greatest crisis was caused by the double encirclement.
Now that Yang Yao's crisis was temporarily lifted, Zhang Xian directly launched a charge against Moxie Pass.
Zhang Xian took command from the center this time, but it did not mean that the siege would feel weak. His general Guo Jin was a brave general selected by Zhang Xian from the army.
After hearing Zhang Xian's order, he immediately took off his armor, lifted an iron shield weighing tens of kilograms with one hand, and held a simple sword made of fine iron in the other hand, and rushed forward with a roar. .
Countless arrows and flying stones fell in front of him, but he used his shield to swing them away and charged towards Mo Xieguan without stopping.
The ladder was set up, and there was no need to hold on to the ladder with both hands. He just kept moving forward with his legs and climbing quickly. Soon he became a thorn in the side of Moye Guan's soldiers, and countless attacks rushed towards him.
Seeing this situation, Guo Jin didn't have any panic or fear. He just huddled behind the shield, protecting his vitals and turning a blind eye to some insignificant places.
He was hit by seven arrows and his lower back was injured by a stone, but he ignored it and rushed up the city wall. He knocked several thieves to the ground with a fierce charge, and then swung his sword in his hand, killing several people in a row.
His whole body was soaked in blood, and his whole body looked like an evil ghost killed out of the Nine Netherworld.
During the fight, the rebels slowly began to panic and fear. Guo Jin was almost immortal. No matter how many swordsmen struck him, he showed no reaction and only focused on fighting bravely.
Zhang Xian, who was commanding the army under the pass, immediately issued an order when he saw this. He abandoned all the wells and rushed to the car, and all rushed up against the ladder.
More and more soldiers rushed up the pass city wall. Under the leadership of Guo Jin, the so-called dangerous Moye Pass was defeated in less than half a day, which not only opened up the escape route for the Yue Family Army.
It also allowed Zhang Xian to face Shunchang Mansion directly.
If you continue to move forward, you can break through Shunchang Mansion and connect with Zongze and others again.
Faced with this situation, Cao Cheng, who was stationed at Shunchang Mansion, responded immediately. He gave up Shunchang Mansion!
Cao Cheng was so decisive that he quickly gave up many of Shunchang Mansion's defenses, reduced his troops, and moved directly towards Guangxi and other places to directly occupy a corner of the Song Dynasty.
To develop anew based on Guangxi and other places is to give up the alliance with Jiangnan Yang Yao and others.
It seems that he also sees that Yang Yao is not a person who will achieve great things.
But Zhang Xian had already reached this point, how could he be allowed to occupy the dangerous place in Guangxi again? He immediately sent troops to chase him.
As a result, Cao Cheng's general Yang Zaixing, who was lurking back from an ambush on the way, attacked the camp at night. If Zhang Xian had not been prepared, he would have let him come and break the camp twice.
But even so, Zhang Xian's losses were still considerable.
Yang Zaixing's force was very high. Even Zhang Xian had to admit it this time. In a head-to-head confrontation, he was suppressed by Yang Zaixing.
If it weren't for the large number of troops under his command and the timely arrival of Wang Gui, Wang Jing and others to support him, Zhang Xian's losses in this battle would have been even greater.
Wang Guiwang arrived first to encircle and suppress Yang Zaixing, and then Kou Cheng led the cavalry to directly block Yang Zaixing's return to the south of the Yangtze River, forcing him to join Cao Cheng.
But before joining Cao Cheng, Zhang Xian once again led his elite soldiers to the "reunion" first
Three thousand Yuejia troops dressed as Yang Zaixing's defeated army took advantage of Cao Cheng's unpreparedness and defeated Shunchang Mansion first. Then they attacked Cao Cheng's army in the field and defeated it.
The recruitment of more than 20,000 traitors directly cut off the connection between Yang Zaixing and Cao Cheng, and turned Cao Cheng into a defeated army.
After that, Zhang Xian led the army in hot pursuit and separated Yang Zaixing and Cao Cheng so that the two parties could not gather together. At the same time, he continued to spread rumors and sow a wedge between the two.
Wang Gui, Wang Gui, Kou Cheng, Zhang Xian and four generals led many soldiers and horses and finally besieged Yang Zaixing in the mountain stream. Countless archers and crossbowmen aimed at this fierce general. In this case, Yang Zaixing chose to surrender and was sent to Hong Kong. Zhou met Yue Fei and Zhao Huan.
At the same time, Cao Cheng was also captured by many chieftains in Guangxi on his way to Guangxi, and was about to be sent to Zhang Xian, but he was directly killed on the way.
This generation of heroes who once resisted the Jin people in Shunchang Mansion ended up like this.
As for how he died, no one asked or dared to ask.
Many bandits and bandits under his command, including Ma Shaoyou, were finally able to survive and were incorporated into Zhang Xianjun's army, where they began to be re-selected and appointed.
