Chapter 56 The General is Unrighteous

"Oh, Zhang Gong's Zhongyi is commendable."

Zhang Jun was full of worries, Zhang Xiaochun and Li Xianzhong were full of loyalty and righteousness, and took the risk of helping Song Jun. He was just perfunctory. He frowned and stood up to wander around the room. While looking at Li Xianzhong, he thought nervously in his mind.

If the matter is true as Li Xianzhong said, Taiyuan should not only not be easily taken down, but instead, it would have a bloody battle with the Jin soldiers who fled from Pingyang and were determined to defend Taiyuan to wait for rescue.

Should we advance urgently and block the enemy outside Taiyuan City, or wait for them to escape into Taiyuan City and catch a turtle in a jar?

Zhang Jun thought for a while and felt his forehead was hot, but he still couldn't understand the key points.

He complained in his heart that he was really unlucky. It was said that he was avoiding the powerful enemy, and attacking Taiyuan City like a bamboo shoot, taking down the strategic city of Sanjin, and easily gaining a great achievement. Unexpectedly, the situation changed so quickly that the Jin soldiers could not stand in Pingyang, but also wanted to give up all areas except Taiyuan, concentrate their forces to defend Taiyuan, and wait for Zong Bi on the south bank of the Luohuang River to send troops to support him. As a military general, he had to admire the opponent's strength of a hero who broke his arms. If he had the idea of ​​defending the entire Hedong area, the army would definitely die and the entire area would be lost. According to the development of this state, the main force of the enemy soldiers fled to Taiyuan together, defending with danger and waiting for reinforcements, and the overall situation might not be as complete as the Song army's plan.

When Zhang Jun thought of this, he had made up his mind. He turned around and sat down, his face calmed down. He only praised Li Xianzhong for a few more words. Seeing the other person's face showing an anxious look, he was smiling secretly. Although the other person looked calm and moderate, he was still young and could not hold back his anger.

As expected, Li Xianzhong saw that he was not as good as he could not help but ask Zhang Jun: "What is the plan of the Grand Marshal? Should he detour to the Weisheng Army and stop the main force of Jingou from returning to Taiyuan. Or should he attack quickly and take Taiyuan before the enemy returns?"

Zhang Jun's face was gloomy and asked him with a voice: "When you came, how many Jurchen soldiers were there in Taiyuan City, and how many could the prefect Zhang master have in his hands?"

"There are about 4,000 Jurchen soldiers, which are a small number of controlled soldiers and horses that were originally left in Taiyuan, and the border patrol cavalry urgently transferred from the clouds. Those controlled soldiers and horses are not enough, but the border patrol cavalry is very elite, and they are set up to defend against the remnants of the Khitan in the Liao Kingdom, and they should not be underestimated. As for the Han army under the prefect, there are not many soldiers, only one or two hundred. As the master said, the number of soldiers is not large, and this group of soldiers is all dead soldiers, and they are extremely loyal to the Song Dynasty. As long as they can open a city gate in the city, no matter how elite the Jurchen soldiers in the city are, if more than 20,000 elite soldiers are poured into the city, the enemy is just a word of death."

Zhang Junyuan also had some thoughts. At this time, he felt that it was dangerous and it was not related to him whether Zhang Xiaochun's soldiers in the city were dead or alive. However, the main force of the Jin soldiers in Pingyang rushed back day and night, and could arrive at all times, and the act of cheating the city was also very dangerous. It was said that the Jurchens were not fools, and it was impossible for the Han army in the city to open the city gate. Even if they could open a city gate, the Song army would not be able to launch a large-scale attack. When it was crowded, two thousand elite Jurchen cavalry rushed over. Cut off the inside and outside,

If you cannot enter outside, those who attack will definitely be packed with dumplings. At that time, not only will you not be able to make great contributions, but the merits and reputations you originally obtained from siege will also disperse and the strong wind will be cleaned. This is fine. If someone pursues it, he will find out the old debts that were not effective in saving Chang'an, and he is the old subordinate of the dead ghost Kang King, and the official family has already had grudges. When a few things happen, they are afraid that they will have to spend their lives to complete.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jun shuddered and couldn't help but stare at Li Xianzhong and scolded: "This is simply nonsense, too dangerous. I am a righteous army. Even if the main forces of the enemy soldiers gather together, why is it difficult to capture Taiyuan? Why do you need to take such a dangerous situation?"

"this?"

Li Xianzhong was stunned and said that the communication with the city was the Song general in the city. At this time, he turned around and said he was disdainful of this. He was also the general in charge of the army and the general in charge of the first army.

It's really faster to turn against each other than to read books, but it teaches this young Dangxiang nobleman that he feels like falling into a dream.

Seeing Zhang Jun continue to talk about the pros and cons with a stern face, although the military strategy is consistent, when strength is suffocated, you can defeat the enemy with a dignified army without taking any danger. If the enemy is defeated, why bother to mobilize the troops and rush to stop them overnight? It would be better to wait for the enemy to flee to Taiyuan and encircle them on all sides and capture them in one go.

Li Xianzhong was disgusted and looked at Zhang Jun's lips flying, and his original respect had long disappeared. Zhang Jun thought he was young and naive, but it was actually an illusion. Li Xianzhong was just too eager to return to the Song Dynasty and did not want to serve the Jin people. It was only because of this that he was tempted by Zhang Jun. Only then did he realize that the other party's rumors were well-received. It turned out that he was a villain who only knew how to compete for merit but not the righteousness. At this time, he was just sitting on Taiyuan and ignoring it, and then waiting for the emperor to make a decision, or several Song troops attacked, or even retreated. Anyway, he didn't need to take risks, and whether the overall situation was corrupt was not related to him.

After he scolded the other party hundreds of times in his heart, Zhang Jun finally shut up, his face full of fatigue, picked up a tea bowl and drank a few times, and then said casually to Li Xianzhong: "General Li, don't go back to Taiyuan. The war and fire are burning together, and how about serving in our army?"

After saying that, he looked at Li Xianzhong with eager eyes and waited for his reply.

Li Xianzhong sneered in his heart, knowing that the other party did not like his talent and needed him to serve in the army, but instead he took his family background. After being led by his command, Zhuruo added a considerable bargaining chip to Zhang Jun.

But he was still respectful in his face, bowed up beautifully, and then calmed down and replied to Zhang Jun: "I will come after being ordered, so I will naturally go back and report. In the future, the general will take Taiyuan, and it will not be too late to say this."

"Okay, then when we meet in Taiyuan City tomorrow, the general must not refuse."

Zhang Jun beat him a few times, and it was fine if he knew that the other party would not be willing to serve him. After explaining this, it was already late at night. Zhang Jun and others were extremely tired, but they forced themselves to cheer up and ordered their personal soldiers to take Li Xianzhong down to rest.

"No need, I will rush back to the city overnight to prevent the Jurchens from being suspicious."

Li Xianzhong quickly refused and ran back and forth overnight, but he didn't think it was a hard work. He just looked at Zhang Jun and the generals in the tent, and did not focus on the front line. After hearing about the enemy's situation, he was completely inspiring. He was tilted and his eyes were squinting, and he blew the sky. The military situation was so urgent that the generals were devoted to their own interests, and even the generals under him were completely inspiring.

Li Xianzhong was angry, but he refused to abolish the public because of his own personal gain. Before leaving, he said earnestly to Zhang Jun: "The last general reminded the general that if he did not move at this time, the Jin soldiers would cross the river from Luoyang to attack Pingyang in the future, so that our army would not be able to take care of each other. By then, it would be very dangerous to clean up the entire Hedong territory. In addition, the generals of Lin, Mansion and Fengzhou, Zhe Keqiu, and had more than 10,000 elite troops under his command, and threatened Yan'an, Jinning Army and other places, and did not go out to attack Chang'an. If the Jin people rushed to jump over the wall, abandoned the three states, and transferred the Zhe family army to aid Taiyuan, the Taiyuan battle would be delayed and there would be many variables. For the sake of your Majesty and the country, please make sure that the general should make a decision early."

He spoke in a thirsty and irritable manner, but Zhang Jun was determined to preserve his strength and ignored everything else. Although he nodded frequently to his words, he had two clear words on his face: perfunctory.

Li Xianzhong sighed helplessly and had to hold his fists and say no. When he arrived outside, the cold wind blew his face and the cold air was thrust, but he felt his energy excited and the depression in his heart was wiped out.

He didn't care about Zhang Jun, and he vaguely felt that the Emperor of Song Dynasty must have Yingduo. He just needed to return to Taiyuan and go to Zhang Xiaochun and others to move to the camera.

Thinking of this, his mind suddenly opened up and turned over the horse. Seeing that the Song army soldier on the night had opened the camp gate under the scolding of the commander, his mount was the Hetao horse of the Xia people. When he knew that the master was about to go, he couldn't help but scream, raised his hooves and jumped, waiting for Li Xianzhong to let go of the horse's reins.

"Don't worry, you will show your power in the future."

Li Xianzhong patted his beloved horse with loving affection, and his heart suddenly became rich. No matter what, how could a real man bow down to serve the barbarians? With his talent, after returning to the Song Dynasty, he would meet his husband's will immediately gain fame and fame, and let those who only see his family background know that he is Li's heart and soul.

When the camp gate opened, he waved his whip and the long-awaited war horse jumped high. After a few steps, he was running at full speed. The horse's hooves were so good that it took a moment to go far.

The one who sent him out of the camp was the central officer who had just welcomed him. When Li Xianzhong and his dozen of his personal soldiers left, the central officer ordered the camp to be closed tightly. The officer on duty and the officer on duty took his soldiers to patrol for a long time, and then went back to Zhang Jun's tent to report.

When Zhang Jun saw him coming back, his body lying on the slanted sideways, he asked casually: "Why is Mr. Li leaving? What else is there to say?"

"I didn't say anything when I returned to the Grand Marshal. I just said that I would see him on the battlefield in the future and see how he slaughtered the golden dog."

"Hey, boy has eaten a few bowls of rice, so arrogant."

Zhang Jun smiled and shook his head repeatedly.

The rest of them also gathered up and mocked Li Xianzhong for not being upset and being too arrogant. Some people accused him of not being able to analyze the overall situation at all and being completely nonsense.

Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "It's not entirely true. What he said before leaving the tent is right. Whether it's the Zhe family or the enemies near Luoyang, it's a big problem to do this."

Speaking of this, his heart suddenly moved, but he remembered something.

Suddenly, he stood up, stared at his confidant's army, and ordered him word by word: "Tell me the general order, Yao Duan's troops, after defeating Han Chang's Han army, and attacking Linzhou, be sure to defeat Ze Ke, and recover Lin, Mansion and Fengzhou."

The army was startled and subconsciously replied to him: "Master General Yao is also acting under the order of the holy command. I'm afraid that the commander will not be able to give such an order?"
