Shao Song

Chapter 255

The privy envoy Zhang Jun had to go out of Beijing to supervise the matter, which was unanimously regarded by the ruling and the opposition as a great victory for Zhao Ding, but Zhao Ding himself kept a secret of this, and even tried several times here. People who made a fuss about everything and slapped a horse were severely reprimanded.

However, no matter what Zhao Ding’s attitude is, Zhang Jun, who was forced to leave Beijing as a supervisor, went south with a fierce emotion of frustration and resentment. This young privy envoy who had always had a fierce personality regarded this incident as a great shame in his heart. ... However, he knew that he was going south with a serious political mission, he knew that the military affairs was a major event ahead, and he knew that he had to let his supervisor have an immediate effect if he wanted to bring back a round, and he had to let Yue Fei. Succeeded in one fell swoop.

Therefore, traveling all the way south, when Zhang Deyuan reached Nanyang, he somewhat temporarily pressed the affairs of Tokyo, and turned his attention to the war in the south.

However, starting from Nanyang, the more you go south, the more you understand the various wars in the south, but Zhang Jun becomes more anxious, because Yue Fei's appearance is a bit unacceptable.

And this kind of panic and vacillation reached a culmination when Zhang Jun arrived in Xiangyang and saw Liu Ji's new transfer envoy to the west of Beijing, Xi Yi, and the Hubei economic manager Ma Shen who took the initiative to go north to welcome him.

"Does Zhang Shuxiang think that I am arguing with this Yue Du?"

The two sides met in the Xiangyang official office, and they talked about the war with just a few words, and Zhang Jungang defended Yue Fei for one or two, and the Hubei Economics made Ma Shen angry and directly stood up and scolded. "Or think I'm fighting for merit with him, deliberately slandering him? Zhang Xianggong, since you are a fair man, you must have fair justice. Don't protect him because you are in the center, and you have to disregard local truth and defend him! "

Zhang Jun was helpless, but he could only stand up and face each other, persuading each other and treating each other with courtesy.

No way, Ma Shen has very deep qualifications and very special political capital... On that day, the Jingkang Zhongjin people succeeded. When all the clan families were detained and the Song Dynasty actually surrendered, Ma Shen was the representative of the remaining Tokyo officials. Wrote a very hard document, asking the Jinren to return the Zhao family kin, and still continue Zhao Song Guozuo. Although it did not succeed, it made Zhang Bangchang into a considerable isolation...not to mention whether this is considered support. Gong, but compared with Zhao Ding, Zhang Jun, Hu Yin and others who fled to Taixue, they are extremely capitalized anyway.

Among them, what is more worth mentioning is that Qin Hui, as Ma Shen’s boss, did not send it directly to the Jin Ren after receiving this document. Instead, he rewritten a new soft-worded document, and finally returned it. Because this document was claimed in the Jinying camp, it was still valued and never returned... In fact, based on the situation at the time, it is not easy to say that Ma Shen’s document is more effective or Qin Hui’s document is more suitable, but the two of them The difference in personality is undoubtedly manifested in the two documents with the same theme and different moods.

"I know that Yue Fei has delayed a little too much, and I also know the local difficulties in Hubei, Jiangxi, and Jingxi." Zhang Jun finally persuaded the other party to sit down, but he had to continue to defend carefully. "But looking at his words and deeds, after all, it is for the sake of less murder and caressing, and the official said that the clan is all north, so he regards the people as relatives, the country as the clan, and the emperor's benevolence also needs to be considered."

Ma Shen sneered: "I naturally know that he is not only relying on your Zhang Shuxiang's maintenance, but also the emperor's favor."

Zhang Jun didn't know how to persuade him for a while, and Xi Yi took the opportunity to cough slightly.

Ma Shen understood, knowing that he was vaguely accusing Cheng Yu and taunting the emperor's favoring martial artist, so he simply stopped talking-he came up north to pick up Zhang Jun this time, simply to put pressure on it, but to pass Zhang Jun urged Yue to march quickly, and now that the attitude was conveyed, he was too lazy to speak.

"Xiangxiang." Seeing some cold spots, Xi Yi, the transfer agent from Beijing to West, got up and faced Zhang Jun behind him. "In Hubei, Jiangxi, and even in West Beijing, the three armies and prefectures impeached Yue Fei one after another. It is absolutely impossible for them to have malicious intentions... In fact, Yue Fei and his troops before the imperial camp are very well prepared, and Yue Fei himself has also known In the name of loyalty and bravery, at the beginning, he came to quell the rebellion when he met on the three roads. In fact, he was very happy; when he made rapid progress in the early stage, he would praise him from the top and bottom. Lu Zhu Junzhou handed it up; even after he was going to change to solicitation, the center should also be down. Although there were complaints from the top and bottom, but it was not to the present level; but there are some things that are really difficult for people to easily talk about. "

"Just tell me." Zhang Jun was frustrated and could only urge.

"It's just the lower official who guessed it." Xi Yi also sighed softly. "Yuedu is acting in Jiangling Mansion, it seems to be'playing with the enemy'."

"What is playing with the enemy?" Zhang Deyuan frowned, really puzzled. "If you talk about indulging the enemy and raising the enemy, that's all right, what is playing with the enemy?"

"The play is brilliant!" Without waiting for Xi Yi to explain, Ma Shen who was sitting there first laughed. "If he was defeated, he would have nothing to say. It is precisely because of a single word that he has caused grievances all the way down the road."

Xi Yi sighed again, and then calmly told Zhang Jun a representative thing in Yue Fei's move.

In other words, after Yue Fei quickly swept the thief army north of Dongting Lake, he changed his play to soothing.

During this period, his main force was basically stationed on the north side of Dongting Lake. Specifically, with the exception of Baling, the capital of Yuezhou (later Yueyang), which was too important, so it placed three thousand soldiers. Most of the troops were stationed in Huarong, Yuezhou and Anxiang, Huzhou.

And just about thirty miles south of Huarong, next to Dongting Lake, there is a water village with a clock, called Gulouzhai, and there is a general in the village, called Yang Guang, who is the pseudo-Chu marshal Yang Yao. Clan people...Considering the shallow water in winter, Gulouzhai as a whole is exposed on the land, it can be said that it is completely insecure, and it can be regarded as a bite of meat hanging on the mouth of the imperial army.

So, of course, Yue Fei's work of caressing started from here, and the effect can be said to be immediate. Yang Guang looked left and right, and found that he had fallen into death, so he immediately chose to surrender.

Correspondingly, Yue Fei neither disarmed Yang Guang’s tribe, nor occupied the Gulou Village. Instead, he directly bestowed the military post as a Jiedushi, and took out valuable logistical food, grass and ordnance to reward and supplement it. Then still let this person lead the old ministry to station in Gulouzhai.

With such a move, it can only be said that Yue Fei is really magnanimous. Although the surrounding military governors are dissatisfied, they have nothing to say... You have to buy the bones, right?

However, only two days later, when Yue Fei continued west and south along the west bank of Dongting Lake to recruit and caress these water villages, as the first person to surrender, Yang Guang received the money, food and official position from the army. I don’t know if he got in touch with Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao on the south bank of Dongting Lake behind him, or he had premeditated, or never convinced him. Anyway, he took advantage of Yue Fei’s time to go to the west of the lake and suddenly chose to re-set the flag. Betrayed publicly.

But Yang Guang's repeated repetitions also made the large and small water villages and leaders who were in contact with Yue Fei on the west side of Dongting Lake hesitated, and immediately gave up contact with the officers and soldiers.

So far, there is still no problem...This kind of thing is too common, and no one can accuse Yue Fei of this.

However, the following actions of Yue Dutong were incomprehensible.

Moreover, after Yue Fei heard the news, he set off immediately, the formation was like thunder, and he personally led a large army to the ancient building one day and night. Under the power of thunder, Yang Guang was completely caught off guard and could only pray directly for surrender, and Yue Fei actually agreed again. To each other. Moreover, he still didn't send soldiers into the Gulou Village, nor did he speak to Yang Guang face to face, so he directly recognized the opponent's surrender, and then turned back to Huarong.

That's not a big deal. After returning to Huarong, he once again issued a military document to Yang Guang, with a higher official position, and a new batch of grain, grass, money and silk came along with the document to Gulouzhai.

Hearing this, Zhang Jun appeared weak, but smiled bitterly: "Thinking that Yang Guang later rebelled? If so, Yue Dutong's move is indeed a bit absurd. The famous national general was played with applause by a little thief."

"Four times." Xi Yi suddenly stretched out four fingers.

"What?" Zhang Deyuan Zhang Xianggong obviously did not react.

"Within two months, Yang Guang was urged four times before and after, and three times betrayed." Xi Yi's complexion remained unchanged, and his words were calm. "Yue Dutong also granted him military posts four times before and after, and each time it was higher than the other time, the grain, grass, money and silk were also more than once, and he still did not occupy the Gulouzhai every time... Lu Junzhou, especially the state school that settled the fugitives, has been making bets recently, just betting on when Yang Guang will defect for the fourth time?"

Zhang Jun was dumbfounded.

"If it's just that, it's fine!" Ma Shen, who hadn't said a word for a long time, suddenly interrupted in the seat. "He is a handsome man, and he has his own consideration when marching and fighting. Whether it is for personal saving or wanting to learn to capture Meng's sincerity in the book, it is always his decision... Since Jingkang, we have not seen what kind of warrior. Ever? I was the only one who was the envoy of the Hubei Economics and Management, but I saw his army of tens of thousands for a small village, a Yang Guang, and spent several months there without any progress, and such a village near the lake, Zhongxiang rebels have set up a total of forty! For example, Huxi Zhuzhai talked with him for more than a month, but because Yang Guang kept repeating, no one reached surrender before and after, but kept asking for money! According to Huxi Zhuzhai privately circulated, If those village masters hadn't been beaten by Yue Fei in Hubei before, they would almost look at this dignified and stately commander as a fool!"

Zhang Deyuan has already had a deficiency of energy.

"More than that, these days, although Zhong Xiang, Yang Yao and other rogues have lost all of the Hubei land, they took the opportunity to expand on the Hunan land." Before Zhang Jun responded, Xi Yi continued to add calmly. "Grandpa Zhong Xiangben is called the King of Chu again, his son is called the prince, and Yang Yao is called the marshal, and he is called Jun Pingfu. He goes to officials. Everywhere he goes, he kills officials, officials, scholars, monks, Killing the Taoist priests, and then dividing the fields of these people, and exempting one field from granting money and food, it is a deceit to confuse the public..."

"They were doing the opposite of adding a gift for the past." Zhang Jun was already weak. "It's normal to have this measure, and it's impossible to be tax-free. Otherwise, where would the money come from?"

"It must be so." Xi Yi still didn't panic. "But how do the people below know? They only know that there are no taxes and no taxes in the south of Hunan, and there are also farms, but the north of Hubei has to sell iron for the supply of tens of thousands of troops, and work as a husband... In the previous winter, some things were half open. Just forget about it, but in the past spring plowing season, some things have been revealed, and the local officials can't help but jump their feet."

Zhang Jun was silent. Although he did not have the experience of local officials at the grassroots level, he knew no matter how stupid he was that spring ploughing and agricultural production were the biggest indicators of the performance of local officials. Then there was a wave of impeachment of Yue Fei by three-way grassroots officials after the New Year. It is completely understandable-this is for the Central Committee to recognize that the current situation of spring ploughing being greatly destroyed is caused by Yue Fei's wanton and reckless actions, not that they are irresponsible.

But, speaking of it, it is indeed still Yue Fei’s problem. He holds tens of thousands of troops, and he'plays with the enemy' there. The central national strategy is delayed, the local spring ploughing production is delayed, and the high-level place is caught in the middle. The officer has to bear the pressure for the battle, but he cannot cross the center to interfere with the official's favorite general.

So whether it is from the official logic or from the basic political and military responsibilities, Yue Fei's impeachment and siege are not an exaggeration.

"Xiangxiang." Xi Yi continued, but Zhang Jun was showered with water again. "Now there is another important thing... the spring ploughing is over, it's too early to chase, and according to experience, as soon as February arrives, the spring flood will come as soon as it is said. By then, the Dongting Lake will rise, and if you continue to suppress it, you will be half the result. , And Zhong Yang's rebels will also have a boost in confidence. By then, they will want to provoke them, but it will be difficult."

Zhang Jun was completely speechless, and could only nod his head to admit defeat: "I know all of Yue Fei's misconduct, and I will go south to Huarong immediately. It is necessary for Yue Pengju to state a time limit for rebellion!"

Ma Shen and Xi Yi glanced at each other, each sighed...This is the ultimate goal of their trip, otherwise, what else?

In this way, Zhang Jun hurriedly arrived in Xiangyang with the respect of the king, only to talk with two local officials in the city, and he was fully aware of the embarrassment and difficulty of the situation, and then he went directly out of the south of the city without even staying overnight. under. Ma Shen, who was an economic envoy of Hubei, also went south, but Xi Yi, the transfer envoy from Jingxi who had been sorting out logistics in Xiangyang these days, did not need to keep up.

And it was this Xi Yi who sent the other two out of Xiangyang City. Seeing them turning on their horses and preparing to go south quickly under the **** of the prince’s squadron, he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion for a while: One last word..."

Although it was only a one-sided fate, Zhang Jun had a good enough impression of Xi Yi, and he naturally nodded immediately: "Xi Caosi, just say it."

"The current situation is still in place. The golden men are still in Hebei, the strong army is watching, the second sage is in Beishou, and the puppet Qi is still lying on the side of the couch." Xi Yi sighed under the horse. "So the emperor treats commanders and military commanders preferentially, and in fact isolates civil and military officials, and serves as commanders and generals. But many civil servants didn't realize this at all. They only thought that after the Yaoshan war, the world stabilized and it was time to reply. The situation in the past, so I often treat military commanders with the mentality of Jingkang before, intentionally or unconsciously, to urge the court to accept the power of handsome ministers... As everyone knows, the officials are in the ban, and they have their own majestic style, and they will never allow such things to happen. As a clerk, he lives between the emperor and the minister, civil and military, and it is inevitable to have such things positively. You must also be prudent, hold the public, and keep the pure, so that you can report to the emperor and go down to an official."

As soon as these words came out, the two of them immediately, Ma Shen's complexion changed drastically, and after a little thought, Zhang Jun immediately dismounted, took the rein of the horse, and bowed his hand to Xi Yi.

And immediately, Ma Shen also bowed his hand slightly.

But that's all. The military situation is urgent, and the two of them are very courteous. They hurriedly reined their horses and headed south to Jiangling Mansion. Ma Shen went into the city to deal with the general affairs, but Zhang Jun still had to continue to take the princes straight cavalry south. stop.

However, as soon as he entered the territory of Yuezhou, Zhang Jun became a little flustered, because the spring was thundering and the spring rain suddenly fell, and the so-called spring flood seemed to have arrived.

In fact, when Zhang Deyuan and the direct cavalry of the imperial squad arrived at Huarong Base Camp, they were already in embarrassment. Those people who had never seen the power of rain in the Yangtze River thoroughly experienced the so-called'spring rain is as expensive as oil'. The gorgeous purple robe and armor were full of mud, and the horse fell and wounded, and everyone was like a muddy chicken. Among them, Ban Zhi was embarrassed, and he didn't expect them to come to fight, but Zhang Jun, the chief minister, felt so cold because of the spring rain.

He didn't know what kind of promise Yue Fei could give him in this situation? And how should I face the emperor, face the central political enemy, face the local officials of Jingxiang?

"I'm done."

At Huarong Camp, Zhang Jun, who was covered in mud and water, did not take a bath or eat, but as soon as he arrived at the military village, he sat directly at the position of Yue Fei in the army’s Dazhai, and then confronted the situation in the center of Beijing and Ma stretched out the seats in person. The words of Yi two repeated to Yue Fei and the generals in front of the imperial camp. "Is there anything wrong with what they said?"

"No." Yue Fei led the camp full of officers and bowed his head to face each other.

"Do you have any words to justify?" Zhang Jun continued to ask with a trace of expectation.

"No." Yue Fei thought for a while, and continued to bow his head in response.

"I have." Zhang Deyuan, who was covered in mud and water, suddenly made a compliment in public. "I don't know what you have in mind and what plans you have? But the world is not only about military affairs, and the people of the world are not only your subordinates and the bandits in front of you. There are also civil and military divisions, monarchs and ministers, and colleagues. As a commander, you not only want to fight a war, but also talk about a report to the emperor, but also to take care of your colleagues and superiors...When things come to this stage, you have a general idea and insight into the enemy's feelings, and you have already smashed the sky. What do you think of success? What counts for me to use more than a hundred guarantees for your success? The official system divides civil and military, and the strategy of waiting to be used is broken by you. Ten Dongting Lakes can't return! Do you think, at this time, it is still Was Yaoshan troubled times before the war?!"

Zhang Jun is young and has always been unstable in character, but after all, he is a dignified clerk, the ruler of the court, and theoretically the superior of all military ministers. Therefore, this person became angry for a while, and in the rain, all the officers of the imperial army, from Wanggui and below, were all discolored.

Only Yue Fei just bowed his head and said nothing.

"I only ask you one thing now. How many days do you want to calm Zhongxiang and Yang Yao?!" Zhang Jun's aura calmed down, but he didn't want to see. "You have a specific deadline with me today!"

Yue Fei was silent for a moment, and finally raised his head, revealing the obviously different eyes: "Please sit down here in Huarong, and then give you ten days to the doomsday."

Zhang Jun looked down at the muddy water on his body~www.wuxiaspot.com~ angrily turned back and smiled: "Ten days?"

"Yes." Yue Fei squinted his eyes and said nothing. "Within ten days, the forty villages of Dongting Lake and the four states and seven counties in the west of Hunan will be inevitably settled, and an explanation will be given to your majesty, to the central authority, to the principal, to the local colleagues of the third road, and to the people of the two lakes... Just kidding, I didn't deliberately stand still before, but I wanted to take advantage of the spring flood season to reach Jingxiang."

The pattering of rain outside the Chinese Army's Dazhai became more and more rapid, and the thunder was mixed with spring thunder, rumbling non-stop.

However, Zhang Jun stared at the person in front of him, and sneered again after a long while: "Yue Pengju, I am too lazy to ask you what is going on... Maybe you are speaking out, just a lucky Zhao Kuo; maybe you are like this. Han Baiwei Huo, a real famous general, has never been able to show...but it doesn’t matter. I am only thirty-four years old this year. I can still do it with the army on horseback. Within ten days, I will not say a word. I will only act with you in the army. You Where do I go! Four states and seven counties plus forty water villages, let’s see how you break the enemy!"
