As soon as this sentence was spoken, Zhang Jun was very embarrassed.

After a while, Fang Chichi said, "The one who is going to be killed today is not an ordinary soldier. Although this man violated military law and secretly colluded with the Jin people, he was of high power."

"Oh?" Chen Tuo's curiosity increased greatly and immediately asked, "Can you tell me who this person is?"

"Your Majesty must have heard of this person, which was the former mighty general who participated in the military, Jingyuan Road Commander, and the general manager of the military commander of the camp. This person made many military achievements. In the first year of Jingkang, he led the Western troops into the capital. However, it was just a commander at that time, and Your Majesty must not remember it."

Chen Tuo naturally "doesn't remember", but his face was falsely pondering. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I really don't remember."

Zhang Jun nodded and said, "This man made great contributions to fighting the Western Xia. When he was the commander of Jingyuan Road and the general manager of the army, he had made great achievements. He was arrogant and arrogant. His confidant general Zhang Zhongyan suddenly surrendered to the Jin army a few days ago, which confirmed that he had the intention of treason to rebel. In order to strengthen the hearts of the soldiers and to rebel, I decided to kill him and dozens of soldiers who violated the military law today, thinking that he would be the verdict of the coming."

His words were justified and reasonable. Chen Tuo nodded repeatedly, but he felt that this person was a little confused. Qu Duan was also the general manager of a large army. Zhao Gou was not there, Zhang Jun was the local emperor of Guanchuan and the fourth routes of Shuzhong. He was naturally the one who was in charge of everything. But he was here, and this person was actually the one who killed him whenever he said that the other party was not asking for instructions. The links were really intriguing.

In fact, in history, Zhang Jun killed Qu Duan after Fuping was defeated. He was angry and urgently needed a scapegoat to kill Qu Duan.

Qu Duan was the leader of the Western Army and a master-level general at the Song Dynasty's rare strategic level. When Zhang Jun first arrived in Shaanxi, he relied heavily on him and appointed him as a mighty general to command the entire Western Army. When he became the commander, the Western Army cheered endlessly and his morale was greatly boosted. Soon afterwards, Qu Duan repeatedly disobeyed military orders, and coupled with the fact that he had a criminal record of forcing the Shaanxi-Shichuan Xuanwei envoy Wang Shu, Zhang Jun was dissatisfied and was more suspicious.

The generals were not in harmony, so Zhang Jun naturally refused to use him again. So during the Fuping War, Quduan's Jingyuan troops were handed over to Liu Xi, and the Liu Qi brothers were commanded. Because Quduan's prestige was too high, the Liu brothers could not convince the crowd, but the general flag he was still slapped with the word "Qu". This shows how this person's prestige in the Western Army was shown.

After the defeat, Zhang Jun reluctantly cleaned up the mess, retained Sichuan and Guanzhong, and cut off Qu Duan and shirked the responsibility. He was even criticized by people at the time and suspected by Zhao Gou. After several years, he was not valued.

At this time, Zhang Jun decided to kill Qu Duan, but after Shen Tuo arrived, Qu Duan said to the people in public: "Zhang Xianggong is intended to alleviate the worries in the southeast. He ignored the hardships of the Western soldiers. He was too exhausted to serve the king many times. He was not prepared at this time and would have to fight against the Jin people in a wild land, which would lead to a crushing defeat. If Your Majesty did not arrive, it would be fine. Now the Emperor Jiankang is here, and the Lord will ignore Your Majesty's safety. What's the intention? I must report to the emperor, asking to stop the army and truce the city and guard the city, and there will be no worries in the mountains!"

Zhang Jun was originally deeply afraid of the dispute between Chen Tuo and Zhao Gou. This Qu Duan was just for generals but did not understand politics. He said such words in public, but no one could save him. Zhang Jun ordered him to be arrested overnight and decided to kill him because of the fact that his confidant general threw gold.

But no matter what, he never expected that Chen Tuo rushed to Bingzhou to inspect the military parade today, but happened to meet him and wanted to kill Qu Duan.

The two were talking to themselves, but there were bursts of drums coming from the school ground in the distance. The drums rumbling, which turned out to be murderous intent.

Zhang Jun said uneasyly: "Time is coming, Your Majesty can sit here. I will come after I go and deal with it."

Although Chen Tuo was suspicious of this matter, he was not convenient to argue with Zhang Jun at this time. He only said, "My husband has worked hard, but in fact, it is to leave this matter to a general to do it."

Zhang Jun naturally couldn't tell him that Jingyuan's troops were unstable and needed to suppress the scene by himself, and said: "Diligent and hardworking king's affairs, and the minister's affairs are all in his own affairs, so what's the hard work to do?"

"Okay, you do things cheaply, don't worry about me anymore. I will go and review the army again after the military rituals."

"yes."

Zhang Jun was happy, and quickly bowed again, and wanted to leave.

Chen Tuo called him and said with a smile: "Since I am here, I can order Kang Chengxun to accompany you and teach the soldiers."

Zhang Jun did not think too much, and agreed repeatedly and took Kang Chengxun there.

He left himself, but left his personal soldiers in front of the tent to serve Wu Lin at Shen Tuo to protect the emperor's safety.

Chen Tuo knew at this time that Wu Lin was Wu Jie's younger brother, and both brothers were brave generals of the Western Army. Compared with his brother, Wu Lin was slightly inferior in strategy and brave in defeating him, so Zhang Jun used his personal soldiers in front of the tent.

He smiled at Wu Lin and said, "What else can I have in this military camp? The general only cares about holding his head and pressing his sword, opening his eyes, but he did not scare the children around me."

Wu Lin smiled when he heard this, but he lowered his figure and stood there in the place where Chen Tuo sat.

Although Zhong Ji and Xue Qiang were unhappy, they did not dare to argue with Chen Tuo. They just whispered: "Who is the child? I don't know who is the best when fighting."

Chen Tuo just pretended that he didn't hear it, and just smiled and chatted with Wu Lin. After a few words, he saw Wu Lin relaxing, and suddenly said, "I just saw Mr. Zhang mentioning Qu Duan, and he was so unhappy. Is there anything Qu Duan offending Mr. Zhang?"

Wu Lin was already very straightforward, but he didn't know that Chen Tuo was trying to get his words. He just answered honestly: "Zhang Xianggong and General Qu were both literary and military. They were originally quite harmonious, but because Zhang Xiang wanted to support the Southeast and ignored the safety of the Western Army, Cang Kuo would have to fight the Jin soldiers. General Qu was determined to oppose it, and the two quarreled endlessly. Zhang said to Shuai Qu, "Don't dare to fight, what general do you want to be? Shuai Qu didn't say anything and returned the general seal, and the two turned against each other."

Chen Tuo said: "This is just a dispute on business, but it's nothing."

Wu Lin replied: "Before Your Descend, the two of them quarreled again. Zhang Xiang asked Qu Shuai, how was the outcome of this battle? Qu Shuai said: There will be no doubt that he will lose."

Chen Tuo laughed and said, "There is no answer like this, and it doesn't make sense to ask."

Wu Lin clapped his legs and said, "Yes! These two of them are both stubborn. Mr. Zhang is determined to make Mr. Qu bow his head. Mr. Qu thinks that Mr. Zhang is a scholar and does not know how to fight. If he doesn't take him seriously, he will be a big shot."

Chen Tuo couldn't help laughing a few times and thought to himself: "Isn't this a disagreement between the top leader and the second leader? This is often the case."

But he asked Wu Lin again: "How did you go later?"

Wu Lin said: "Gonggong Zhang was furious and said to Shuai Qu, so what if he wins? Shuai Qu replied: If Xuanfu's army is undefeated, he will die from the sword. Shuai Zhang said: Do you dare to make an order for military order? Shuai Qu took paper and pen and wrote it. Seeing that he was like this, Zhang was so angry, and said: If Jun cannot win, he should give it to the general with his head!"

He said this, slapped his legs repeatedly and said, "The army has not moved, and the generals have lost peace. This is really not good."

Chen Tuo's heart moved and asked him: "You two brothers, Wu Jie is the commander of Quan Yongxing, Qin Fenglu, you are the personal soldiers in the front office of the tent, both are the generals of the Western soldiers. This time, Zhang Xianggong Xuanfu Guan and Shaanxi, mobilized soldiers to fight the enemy to decisively. What do you two brothers think?"

Wu Lin is worthy of being a warrior and is very straightforward. Before Chen Tuo finished speaking, he replied: "Supervisor Qu once said: The plains are wide and wild, and the thieves are convenient for conflict, but our army has never been accustomed to water wars. The new situation of the Jin people is difficult to compete with, so it is better to train troops and prepare for the border. Although my brother was hurt by the Supervisor Qu several times and almost died in the battlefield, his words are reasonable. We all agreed when the Japanese army discussed it."

"oh?"

Chen Tuo lowered his head and said nothing, showing a contemplative look on his face.

He naturally knew in his heart that there was no victory in this battle of the Song Dynasty. In this era when Jurchens were invincible, it was a very unwise move to confront the Jurchen cavalry on the Guanshan Plain, a place where the Song Dynasty could finally allow Jurchen heavy cavalry to charge, and to fight the gathered Jurchen cavalry on the front battlefield and plain terrain.

Zhang Jun was afraid that the Southeast would be in danger of being protected. Zhao Gou was captured, and the Song Dynasty would be destroyed without a righteous monarch. Chen Tuo first understood that Zhao Gou ran faster than a rabbit, and that the Jurchens could not catch him. Secondly, he was also an emperor now, so why did he sacrifice himself to protect Zhao Gou?

However, he also knew that Zhang Jun spent several months to gather a large amount of materials and a large number of troops with the five-year financial resources of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and he needed to fight with the Jin soldiers. If he forced a truce with the emperor's honor, the morale of the Western soldiers would be frustrated, and it would be difficult to say whether Gucheng refused to defend. And his prestige, which is Zhao Heng's prestige, would also fall further.

He was absolutely unable to do this when he was competing for prestige and throne with Zhao Gou.
