Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 113: The cunning Zhang Jun

Views:

Zhao Zhen flatly refused Han Feng's request on the grounds of believing in the king's order. The military training of King Xin's army and the production of the arsenal are the things that King Zhaozhen keeps most secret. Especially Xin Wang Zhaozhen's method of training soldiers is countless times ahead of the times. Once it is learned by others, what's the deal? Zhao Zhen's training methods for the army have been longer than 900 years. After thousands of years of tempering, they have formed a set of customization, which is far from the old Song Dynasty army can compare.

"But, who is Master Han? It's Master Zhang's cronies. I will make an exception. Although I can't let the adults watch, I can tell Master Han. Does the adults want to know how we believe in the king's army to train soldiers?" Zhao Zhen said suddenly.

Han Feng said in disbelief: "Are you willing to say it?" He thought: Since you refuse to let me see your military yard, how can you say your military training method? Even if you say it, will you tell the truth? Of course Han Fengzuo is not very convinced!

With a faint smile, Zhao Zhenxin said calmly: "If Han adults really want to know, then I can say it's okay! That is, the selection of soldiers should be sharp and the army should eat more meat. Does Han adults know? People should eat more meat. Kind, you can have strength. Do you know why a wolf is powerful? Because it eats meat. Why is a sheep eaten by a wolf? Because it eats grass!

Hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Han Feng's eyes were stunned. He felt that Zhao Zhen's words were somewhat reasonable, but he felt that they were somewhat wrong. Unless it is Zhao Zhen, who breeds a large number of rats and rabbits to feed the army. The general army cannot fail to provide enough meat for the army, even the golden soldier.

At this time, Song Jun is now a bit unsustainable even eating, where can he get so much meat? It's impossible!

Han Fengzuo knew that he could never get more from Zhao Zhen's mouth, but he felt that Zhao Zhen's words might not be true. In Han Fengzuo's view, it is impossible for General Gao Pang, under the pseudonym of Zhao Zhen, to provide enough meat for the army, so what he said must be false.

Regarding military training, Han Fengzuo knew that he couldn't ask anything more. I wanted to ask about other things. The first thing now is about the King Xin Army entrenched in Zhongtiao Mountain, Jiezhou and Hezhong Mansion, and the battle with the Jin Army.

Thinking of war, Han Feng asked: "General Gao, are you sure you can attack Jiangzhou?" "How can you be sure about the world? Soldiers are fierce and war is at stake, and war itself is the most dangerous event. How can it be done? What's the guarantee? Of course, if I want to say that I am fully confident, but five points are also considered to be. Although we are ready to fight the golden army to the end! But speaking, this golden army is currently the strongest in the country. The army has a strong combat power. Especially after the extermination of the Liao State, the Golden Soldiers have countless sources of troops. If I want to defeat them, it is not an easy task."

Han Feng left then said: "If this is the case, why don't you wait for a while to send troops? Why is it so urgent?"

Hearing what he said, Zhao Zhen gave him a deep look and smiled. Han Feng was a little embarrassed when he was seen, wasn't he here to remind Wang Jun to fight Jin Jun earlier. However, Han Feng left the reminder, but he also didn't want Xin Wangjun to defeat the war. After all, they are all from the Song Dynasty, and the King of Letters is still fighting the Jin Army on the front line. In case the King of Letters is defeated by the King, your lips will die and your teeth will be cold!

Zhao Zhen said: "I can't do anything. The Jin Jun mobilized a hundred thousand Han troops to enter Jiangzhou. I have to wait for them to gain a foothold before they are ready to drill. When the Jin Jun hasn't reacted yet, I will do it. There is a chance to swallow it in one bite!"

Han Feng looked at Gao Pang from the left, and said: "I heard that King Xin Qiansui personally led the army to the north and south to fight against the Jin Army. I admire his old man. But, you know, the Jin Army is so powerful that I can't complete it. Defeat them. Sooner or later, there will be peace between the Kingdom of Jin and our Da Song. After the Kingdom of Jin and us are at peace, what is Chitose’s goal? As an important general of Chitose, you can command the army. It can be seen that His Royal Highness King believes in you. Seriously. Can you tell me what your Royal Highness thinks of his old man?"

Han Feng's words from the left were clearly overstepped. However, when he said this, Zhang Jun asked him to ask. Regardless of whether it is true or false, Zhang Jun, a military idiot, but a first-rate intrigue guy, can see something from it. I have to say that Zhang Jun is a very powerful master for internal fighting.

Zhao Zhen smiled faintly and said: "Perhaps for your Majesty, there will be a day of peace with the Golden State. But for our Highness, as long as the Golden State still exists, he will not go back. He will continue to fight the Golden Army. Until the second sage and all the royal families are rescued. What I have to do is very simple, that is, I want to hit the far north and see the vast ice and snow in the north, the far and wide beautiful place."

Zhao Zhen's words actually meant crossing Siberia, crossing the Bering Strait of later generations, and going to the distant American continent. But Han Feng left there to understand what he meant. Han Feng Zuo only remembered what the general Gao said to meet the Second Saint and fight the Jin Jun to the end.

Han Feng said perfunctorily: "The Far North... is it really such a good place? I heard that it is the Far North, an ice field and a sea of darkness."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Go east from the extreme north, and then turn south, and you will be the beautiful land of the mainland. The endless palm forest is full of rare and exotic animals, and there are countless gold mines there. There are only a few people living there, and the whole land without an owner is indeed worth looking forward to."

The speaker is unintentional, listening intentionally. Han Feng left secretly thinking: Is he talking about the ethereal Penglai Fairy Island? What does he mean? Is it true that the king will occupy a territory overseas in the future and will not compete with his majesty for the throne

Han Feng sighed in his heart, if what Gao Pang said is true, then the faith king Qiansui is going north to attack and build an immortal foundation. Even if the King of Letters lay down a large area, dominate both sides of the Yellow River and win the battle against the Golden Army. But on the road leading to the northern ice field and even the far north of Haiti, there are the Jurchen ancestors, as well as the Bohai people, the Xi people, and the nomadic Yi tribes of Mongolia. These tribes are like mountains. The same block is there. The letter king Zhao Zhen wants to go to the north. In theory, this is a dream at all, at least not in one era. It may take generations of efforts to succeed in this way.

Of course, in Han Fengzuo's opinion, what Gao Pang said was to calm his mind and express his belief in the king not to fight for the throne. It's all deceptive! Where did he know that these words were what Zhao Zhen really said.

When it was time to eat, Zhao Zhen asked people to pass the food. As Zhao Zhen said before, it is necessary to entertain Han Fengzuo and others from Sichuan and Sichuan with high standards. So the dishes that came up were very rich.

The food and delicacies of the Song Dynasty are already very diverse, but for Zhao Zhen, who is familiar with the preparation of various dishes in the future, it is far from it. Therefore, among the dishes Zhao Zhen asked people to come up, many of them were dishes that Han Fengzuo had not eaten.

Han Fengzuo thought that he had a lot of food in Jiangnan Chuanshu, but he had never eaten such a sumptuous banquet.

After eating, Han Fengzuo negotiated with Zhao Zhen to sign a troop dispatch plan, and Li Yuxuan personally wrote a letter about the plan. After that, Han Feng didn't stay much left, and left Qingshi City, and went straight back to Sichuan and Shu with some people to see Zhang Jun.

After going back quickly, Han Feng left hurriedly ran to Zhang Jun's mansion. He honestly stood by Zhang Jun's mansion, waiting for Master Zhang's summons. After a while, the old butler in Zhang Jun's mansion came out, and Master Zhang Jun asked Han Feng to enter him left.

The furnishings in Zhang Jun's mansion are very luxurious. The carpets on the floor are made of wool, and the celebrities' calligraphy and paintings, porcelain vases and other utensils are all available in the room. Here, there are even valuable glass vases with hundreds of flowers and a one-foot-round mirror. With all the utensils in Zhang Jun's room, they are worth thousands of gold. This is not even the things Zhang Jun treasured that the bottom of the box is not allowed to be seen by outsiders.

At this time, Han Feng entered the mansion from the left, and when the old butler took Han Feng into the mansion, he saw a waiter in the mansion carrying a lacquer tray out. With the tip of Han Feng's left eye, he saw a gap under the brocade, revealing a transparent glass object. It was almost transparent glass without any impurities. Although he didn't know what it was, it was absolutely valuable.

This is probably a bribe that someone gave to Zhang Jun. As for who gave it, I'm afraid there is no one else except the big businessmen supported by the aristocratic families in Sichuan and Shu.

At this moment, Zhang Jun was holding a secret report, standing beside the map, looking at the map from time to time, and comparing the urgent documents of 800 miles in his hand, frowning in the shape of "Chuan".

In fact, this minister who was very spoiled in front of Zhao Gou was not an incompetent person. He could quickly establish a relationship with the juniper from Jin Guo Zhao in a short period of time, standing in the right team, and having to eat well. Drinking, it shows that he is still capable, but his ability is reflected in the internal fighting.

In fact, Zhang Jun himself, facing the current pressure of the Jin Army soldiers, he always has an unspeakable feeling. Although he always felt that he was very capable, he faced the intricate situation, faced the military situation of the three armies of the Jin army, the Xin Wang army and the Da Song army, and exchanged with the treasured special products of the Xin Wang army and the families from all over the world. Even if he feels that his talents are great, it often makes him feel that his ability is insufficient sometimes.

There are two reasons for feeling that he is inadequate, one is that he himself is often unable to come up with practical ideas about some things! This makes him very helpless. In other words, he himself loves money and is greedy and undecided. The other reason is that there are few loyal and capable people below who can use it. Zhang Jun himself often feels that there are many talented people who believe in Wang Jun and Chinese martial arts, and Jin Jun is even more powerful, that is, no one is available.

Ever since he took his orders to the land of Sichuan and Shu, to guard against the golden army from going south from the land of Shaan and Long, he has been regarded as the master of the land of Sichuan and Long!

However, the strong dragon does not suppress the snakes, and the landlords of the local family have their own interests and huge forces in their respective territories. Once Zhang Jun reached the ground, he couldn't fight them hard. Therefore, Zhang Jun, who worked smoothly, didn't force them not to return to the beneficence Wang Jun, and cut off their financial means. Up to now, he has not interfered with the merchants' business dealings with Xinwang, and he has also accepted a lot of valuables. In doing so, Zhang Jun believes that he has done a good job, and he has gained a lot of wealth, and he has not caused a backlash from the family.

During this period of time, upon seeing the news from the wire report, the Jin Army went south to attack the city and plunder the land, searching the mountains and seas to capture his patron Zhao Gou. This incident caused Zhang Jun's thoughts to be messed up. Facing the distant crisis, he didn't know what to do.

As soon as Zhao Gou was finished, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen naturally became the new Emperor of Song Dynasty. Once Xinwang became the emperor, he, a close friend of Zhao Gou, would naturally stop eating and drinking.

Therefore, Zhang Jun sent Han Feng to Zhongtiao Mountain and urged the Xinwang Jun and Jin Jun to fight decisively there, and provoked a growing all-out war between the two sides. Once you believe in the decisive battle between the king and the golden army, on the one hand, it can consume the strength of the two armies, and on the other hand, make the golden army tight in the north, and the main force of the golden army in the south will return to the army and let Zhao Gou escape safely. And now, I can only look at the map and worry about it.

"My lord..." Han Feng who came in said left. Zhang Jun's body moved, then turned around and said absently, "Feng Zuo is back, what's the situation? Can Xin Wang Jun take the initiative to attack?"

Han Fengzuo didn't dare to be rude to Zhang Jun, he hurriedly bowed and saluted. As a close friend of Zhang Jun, he deeply knew that Zhang Jun was an insidious person with a sword, and Han Feng Zuo did not dare to give up this courtesy of his superiors and superiors.

"Hehe, get up..." Zhang Jun waved his hand, his eyes still fixed on the map in front of him. Seeing Zhang Jun so focused and sad, Han Fengzuo couldn't help asking: "My lord, what happened to you? What happened?"

"It's nothing." Zhang Jun waved his hand like a trivial matter, and said: "It's just that the Jin army has captured Jiankang, but all the troops and horses have already gone to the King Hongqin. "Your Majesty has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hand, and the general is a thousand. A member, the navy is strong and powerful, and will surely be able to repel the golden army. "Han Feng Zuo said.

"I hope so, but it doesn't matter if I can't fight back the Golden Army. The Golden Army has penetrated into my hinterland for a long time, and was harassed and attacked by our military and civilians. In addition, their food and grass will sooner or later be ineffective. correct… "

Zhang Jun replied to the topic, he turned around and said: "You go to Zhongtiao Mountain, can they take the initiative to launch another attack on the Jin Army, how many soldiers can they use, and how many soldiers do they have now?"

In response to Zhang Jun’s question, Han Feng did not dare to be verbose. He said: “Gao Pang said that they would send troops next month to fight the Jin Army. The strength of the troops did not say, but according to our news report, only in Jiezhou and Hezhong. The mansion’s letter to the king’s army is elite, and the number is about three to fifty thousand."

Zhang Jun said in horror, "Thirty to fifty thousand people? Go and fight hundreds of thousands of golden soldiers? You are not mistaken?" Since he is also a close friend of Zhao Gou, he knows the number of Zhao Zhenjun, two hundred thousand elite, this elite and It's not a trumpet, it is a powerful army that can really defeat the same number of the Golden Army and make the Golden Army unwilling to fight with it. Facts have proved this.

However, the Jin army is said to have hundreds of thousands of troops coming this time. Although most of them are Han soldiers, the difference in numbers is too great. It is not that Zhang Jun frankly believes in the king's army, but if Zhongtiaoshan's believes in the king's army is defeated, his defense area will be attacked by the golden army. Even if Zhang Jun's military capabilities are poor, he also knows the truth about his lips and teeth.

Han Feng spoke to the left: "Nor, there is also the commander of the Xinwang Army in the north, Yue Fei, and tens of thousands of people from the north to attack the Golden Army. And this time, the soldiers of the Xinwang Army-all cavalry."

Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Jun took a deep breath and nodded and said, "It's all cavalry! So powerful! That's it... It seems that Wang Jun wants to do his best. By the way, you and Gao Pang said you got it. Did the military merits give us some of the heads of Jurchen?"

Han Feng lowered his head and said, "I told him to go back to the lord. Of course, he wants benefits. How does this Gao Pang look like a general? The whole thing is like a big merchant!"

Zhang Jun frowned and said, "But our army does not have enough financial resources now!" Han Fengzuo said, "My lord, Na Gao Pang said that he can agree with us to exchange for things. Simply put, he needs almost everything. Niu, horses, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese need food and everything. Also, he even needs silkworm cocoons. Xin Wang Jun has his own silk girl who can weave cloth and clay. He also wants clay and tea!"

When Zhang Jun heard this, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, that's it, we can agree to his request!" At this point, Zhang Jun suddenly said: "By the way, have you seen it? In Bluestone City, how many soldiers are there in the city defense army of the Xinwang Army?"

The reason why he wanted to know how many troops there were in Qingshi City was actually to prepare for a possible conflict with King Xin's army in the future.

"Thousands, this is what Gao Pang said, but it's roughly the same, I think so! However, there are thousands or thousands of recruits. Because the other party keeps secrets, I can't get the exact number of recruits." Han Feng left He said with his hands.

Zhang Jun thought for a while, then he stood up and looked at the map. After a while, Zhang Jun turned his head and said to Han Fengzuo: "Fengzuo, you have to do this thing. I want you to go to Qingshicheng and watch Gao Pang lead troops out! You don't watch them send troops. , I’m not relieved.” Han Feng nodded to the left and said: “Also, the subordinates will go now.”

Seeing that the other party rushed over all night and was very tired, Zhang Jun said again: "You don't have to be in a hurry, you are going to and fro, it's hard work. You take a day off today, and you will leave tomorrow!"

Han Feng Zuo said: "Yes!" Zhang Jun stretched out his hand, patted his body and said: "Han Feng Zuo, there are not many people around me that can be trusted. You are one of them. Do things for me, don't worry, I am I won't treat you badly."
