In August of the 11th year of Shaoxing, everyone feels particularly hot this year.
This heat not only comes from the sun in the sky, but more from one's own heart.
No one can explain why, but I always feel that there is a certain anger in my heart. Even a gentle person usually has more arguments with others.
Take Taiwei Zhang as an example. He is well-known for protecting shortcomings, but recently he often gets angry at people when nothing happens.
Unlike Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, his soldiers only suffered internal losses and took advantage of others.
His soldiers will not suffer from both ends, but both ends will take advantage.
But since he arrived in Shouchun County, the former Zhang Jiajun and the current Youhan Army could no longer take advantage.
In the past, we and the Han Family Army had mutual jurisdiction over the two Huaihe Rivers. We often went to each other's territory to collect food. Conflicts and other incidents occurred from time to time, and there were also many tense scenes.
Several times, people almost died.
It's better now. Captain Zhang calls all the military commanders to Shouchun every now and then to discuss matters... It's all settled, and the old man actually remembered that we are here on the front line.
While discussing, he also told everyone:
"We all belong to the Right Han Army. If you want to collect food, go as far west as possible. Don't mess with that Han Laowu, so as not to ruin our friendship."
Return friendship...
Everyone in the world knows that Captain Zhang is a lonely minister; there are almost no people with higher official positions than him, and he does not look down on anyone with lower official positions except his subordinates.
As such, he had few good friends.
But now, as if his brain had opened up, he actually thought of marrying Han Shizhong.
It seems that there is some tacit understanding, and the Han army in the east no longer crosses the border. The people at the junction of the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River have suffered from the conflict between the two armies... many times they have to be conquered twice, that is, we are rich in Jiangnan, If it had been anywhere else, he would have rebelled long ago.
It's better now. The neighboring counties have all been conquered. Only the places in the middle have prepared food for the military men on both sides, and no one has come.
It may be too much to say that we treat each other as if we were guests, but without conflicts, everyone no longer looks at each other like enemies.
Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun were fine, but Liu Qi, who was between Yue Fei and Zhang Jun, suffered a lot. Zhang Jun's people had to go to his camp to ask for food.
There is no way, who makes your uncle Liu Xin have a good temper?
Today is another day for Lieutenant Zhang to convene the generals for discussion.
The map, which was already somewhat discolored, had been used for an unknown number of years, and was covered with dense ink stains.
The ones with brighter colors recently are the latest ones added by Captain Zhang.
He stared at the map for a long time, and then looked at the several commanders under his command... At present, they were the only ones who knew that there would be a war soon.
"Did Han Shizhong and Liu Qi say when they would take action?"
After receiving a negative answer, Captain Zhang immediately asked:
"Do all armies have enough supplies? Is the defense of Huainan City ready?"
"Where's the boat? Is there enough? Is the boat hidden?"
"Is there any news from the other side? Have they discovered it?"
…
During daily discussions, these are the questions Zhang Taiwei asked the most.
That is to say, he occasionally went to the brothel in Shouchun County to drink wine, looking like he would never grow old.
Otherwise, no matter how you look at him, he looks like a silly old man who talks too much.
The Ruisheng Army controls Wang De, who used to be the most powerful general under Liu Guangshi. He was also from the Western Army. He killed people so much that he was nicknamed "Wang Yaksha".
When the Jin people invaded the south last time, Liu Qi, who defeated Guaizima, was undoubtedly the first in military exploits, and Wang Yaksha, who defeated Suzhou and Bozhou, was second.
But when Lieutenant Zhang showed his merit for them, he slightly changed the order of the two, and Wang De became the first.
There is no way, who told you, Uncle Liu Xin, to be honest.
Now, seeing Captain Zhang's appearance, Wang De advised:
"How come the Taiwei is like this! It's not like we haven't fought against the Jin before!"
"Not to mention that His Majesty's wisdom has given us a head start. Even if we use real swords and guns, how can we be afraid of those bastards!"
Wang De was considered one of the best in the Song Dynasty when it came to things like marching and fighting. When he said this, everyone was convinced.
And he himself hated it terribly. Last time, Captain Zhang was hesitant and only deployed defenses on the south bank... He should have followed his own strategy and cooperated with Yue Pengju to reach Kaifeng.
According to the results of previous discussions, Han Shizhong was in Chuzhou, taking Huaiyin and Lianshui first, and then Haizhou; Yang Yizhong was in Xuyi, taking Sizhou into Suzhou; Zhao Mi was in Haozhou, taking Lingbi and Si County, and cooperating Yang Yizhong captured Suzhou together.
As for Lieutenant Zhang who is further west, he must capture Shouzhou across the river as quickly as possible, and then capture Bozhou. After Yang and Zhao join forces, the three armies will march to De Mansion...
Finally, meet the others in Kaifeng.
This is the biggest benefit that can be obtained by betraying the alliance in the plan.
Compared to others, Zhang Jun's burden is much lighter.
After all, there are people watching on both sides and can take care of it at any time, and Wang De has already taken it from Bozhou before. Now that he is ready, what's the problem with taking it again?
Therefore, everyone can't understand Zhang Taiwei's caution... Calling it cautious is simply a bit cowardly.
Zhang Jun sighed softly:
"Of course I also know that seizing Shouzhou is a sure thing."
"But a certain person has been in the army since he was a child. In the past thirty years, he has fought more than a thousand wars, big and small?"
"This is the only battle that must be won."
"Everyone knows that who the hell can tell clearly what happened on the battlefield? If I don't make complete preparations and climb to the top of Shouzhou City, I really, really can't even eat."
Wang De only knew that many major events had happened in Lin'an in recent months.
Not to mention that he also received a piece of meat from Mr. Qin... The weather was already hot, and when the chamberlain brought that thing, he almost made Wang De sick.
Besides, the Zhao Guan family changed their temper and killed civil servants and gold envoys... As a person who experienced all this, Zhang Taiwei might have crawled out from the gate of hell.
With his current appearance, the emperor might have been frightened.
Trying to keep his tone gentle, Wang Yaksha said softly:
"Marshal, don't worry. With me, my father and my son... and the military commanders here, you will not lose your head."
This man has never studied, and his speech is a little more direct.
Zhang Jun was slightly startled: "Why should I lose my head?"
"Since it is not a matter of life and death, why do you say that this battle must be won, and why are you so worried?"
When Zhang Jun heard this, some pictures kept flashing through his mind. He suddenly felt a sore nose and almost shed tears.
"Zihua doesn't know, so, so..."
He spoke intermittently, but everyone still understood.
It turned out that Captain Zhang was humiliated in Lin'an City and suffered a lot.
In the days before coming to Lin'an, the generals and ministers discussed matters every day. Everyone had a lot of strategies and things to say.
Only Zhang Jun... not to mention Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, even compared to the two men under his command, Yang Yizhong and Liu Qi, his record after crossing to the south was the worst.
In addition, during Yue Fei's last Northern Expedition, he was victorious on all three fronts. Only when he gave Wanyan Wushu a great victory did it appear that the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom was not so stupid.
Anyway, he is a dignified lieutenant, holds the post of Privy Councilor, is a member of the elite Zhong Family Army of the Western Army, and has been fighting for thirty years...
When discussing the military, officials actually regarded themselves as transparent!
Can you understand the awkward situation where everyone is talking enthusiastically on the front foot, but as soon as the back foot arrives, the scene goes cold?
This kind of obvious bullying and cold violence made him sadder than pointing at his nose and scolding him.
In addition, at Lingyin Temple, he met the yin and yang girl from the Zhong family, and Taiwei Zhang was ridiculed by her to the point that he almost committed suicide.
So that night at Lingyin Temple, in the main hall, while roasting meat for the emperor, he secretly swore a poisonous oath.
In this Northern Expedition, Zhang Jun must be the first to get the good news!
He didn't want to prove anything, he just wanted to tell everyone, especially the little brat from the Yue Fei family, that every time he looked at him, he looked like a retard.
He is the first person in the Song Dynasty army.
When everyone saw Captain Zhang, they became more and more excited. They almost stood on the table, feeling strange in their hearts.
They all say that there is no empathy in the world, and they cannot understand Zhang Jun's sadness.
Then a soldier ran in and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Marshal Yuan... Your Majesty is here!"
Hearing a "boom", Zhang Jun's whole body fell to the table.
