Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 471 Hall of Martial Virtue

After Jin Cai left with Zhao Jianshu's memorandum, left general Wei Fu, a few trusted generals and the army secretary and assistants were left in the army tent.

Zhao Jian let out a long sigh, with a serious face, and facing everyone in the tent, he cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, please."

"Don't dare." Everyone looked moved and said in unison.

"Mr. Zhao, the army rations in the camp are less than three days old." At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a ration official hesitated and said.

Because of the harassment of the Soviet cavalry, the army rations in Heshuobian County of Jin State were no longer transferred to the front line. In the past few days, the army rations in Zhao Jian's camp have been running low.

If Wei Pan hadn't supported some of them, the Jin army would have been drinking the northwest wind.

Zhao Jian asked: "How many days can we support?"

The Liang Cao officer hesitated for a while, and said, "Up to three days."

Zhao Jian frowned, and pondered: "The guard camp, can you send someone to support the food and grass in the next two days?"

The grain cao officer shook his head, and said: "Mr. Zhao, according to Mr. Wei's army, the Wei army's camp is not enough for self-sufficiency in food and fodder, and there is no food left to help. Moreover, Hua Liang, a traitor in Gu'an County, sent troops to rob and kill the soldiers transporting grain."

"This Wei Pan is really a fool!" Wei Fu looked cold and stern, cursed angrily, and said in a deep voice: "If our army collapses, how can his guards be alone? Mr. Zhao, I was going to meet Wei Pan here. , but ask him what he intends to do?"

At this moment, Wei Fu obviously hadn't recovered from Zhao Jian's "touch" that he put state affairs first. Hearing that Wei Pan was disregarding the overall situation, he was filled with righteous indignation.

"General Wei, wait a minute." Zhao Jian's eyes moved slightly, he called Wei Fu, sighed, and said, "It's not that Mr. Wei is stingy, it's useless to go."

"Let's ask Yidu for help." Zhao Jian thought for a while, raised his firm eyes, cupped his hands and said, "General Wei, can you go back to Yidu on behalf of the old man, and tell Jin Jun about his interests. It is difficult for the doctor, Jin Cai, to persuade the emperor."

Wei Fu hesitated for a while, and said: "The last general can make a trip, but I'm afraid that this trip will delay the big event."

In fact, he had just been defeated, so he didn't want to go back and face the accusations of thousands of people.

Zhao Jian said in a deep voice, "I invite Immortal Master Yan to accompany you. I expect to be back tomorrow at the earliest."

But it was a section I just thought of, if Wei Fu could return to Yidu together, he would show Jin Jun his "good intentions".

With the support of the Wei family, it can also slightly offset the sequelae of his disobedience to the king's order.

Wei Fu did not doubt that he was there, with a serious look on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Since Mr. Zhao trusts the general, the general will go back to Yidu."

"General Gao Yi!" Zhao Jian praised, and ordered the soldiers to invite Yan Yun from the Heart Demon Sect, briefly described what happened, and then watched Wei Fu leave the Jin army's camp with Yan Yun.

Returning to the camp of the Chinese army, Zhao Jian pondered for a moment in response to another question from the ration officer Cao, and said, "If we supply the rations with small oaks, how many days will it be enough?"

The grain cao officer frowned, thought for a while, and said: "It can be extended for three to five days, but...the soldiers in the army are afraid that there will be complaints."

A cold look flashed across Zhao Jian's eyes, and he was about to speak, "Just respond with a small fight, this commander has his own ideas."

At this moment, the secretary in charge of the army, Bi Hao, who stood respectfully by the side, quickly stopped talking and said: "Mr. It's because of resentment, if you continue to make such a sinister strategy, I'm afraid there will be a mutiny."

Obviously, the think tank in Zhao Jian's army saw Zhao Jian's method of "borrowing your head for use" at a glance.

This is to remind Zhao Jian that if this kind of trick is not played well, it may cause fire.

Zhao Jian's complexion changed, and he finally sighed, and said, "Forget it, there will be news from Yidu around tomorrow... Where is Chang Xianshi from the Heart Demon Sect? I'm going to see you."

There are only three days of rations left, and the only way out now is to use the power of the immortal way to transfer more food and grass to overcome the food shortage.

Jin Kingdom · Yidu
In the palace garden, although it was already night, the Wude Hall, where the King of Jin discussed affairs, was brightly lit and crowded with people, civil and military ministers and ministers of the Jin State gathered together, discussing a lot.

"It's so daring!" At this moment, a white-haired minister dressed in brocade robes slammed the crutch in his hand and said angrily.

This person is the Zongbo of the Jin Kingdom——Ji Yuankai, although he is very old, he is still strong and strong, and he has seen many storms and waves in the court of the Jin Kingdom.

At this time, a middle-aged fat official sneered: "He Zhao Da Sima is domineering and domineering. He uses his power for more than a day, but now he dares to ignore the order of the emperor."

This person is the patriarch of the Zhi clan, Zhi Da, the younger brother of Jin Dazai Zhizhuo, and the official residence of Jin Xiao Situ.

However, ministers and ministers such as those from the Wei and Han clans were surprisingly silent.

Dazai Zhizhuo, who was in the first place, took a sneak peek. The old god was there, and Jin Jun, who couldn't see the expression on his face, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Gong's invitation is not unreasonable. Obviously, once the troops are withdrawn and the capital is returned, the situation in Zhongzhou will definitely change drastically."

Jin Jun's face was indifferent, noncommittal, but cast a pair of indifferent eyes on Wei Wujiu, the old patriarch of the Wei clan and former general of the Jin Kingdom, and asked, "What do Wei Qing think?"

Wei Wujiu was originally the former Grand Sima of the Jin Kingdom, he served the previous King of Jin, and he also contributed to supporting the current King of Jin.

It's just that, later, he felt that he was getting old, his energy was low, and he had to make way for the up-and-comers, so he asked Jin Jun for his old age and support.

Afterwards, the position of Grand Sima of the State of Jin was taken over by Zhao Jian, a well-known virtuous man in the State of Jin, in the hidden residence of the King of Jin. This kind of high-minded abdication and abdication of the virtuous behavior was still a good story in the State of Jin at that time.

But three years ago, Wei Wujiu, who was fond of his grandchildren at home, was invited out of the mountain again by the Jin Jun, and served as a former general to consult on military and political affairs.

Some people speculate that this is the Jinjun's use of the influence of the Wei family to balance the increasingly fierce struggle between the Zhao and Zhi families.

Wei Wujiu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the affairs of Zhongzhou are already beyond the reach, unless Your Majesty immediately increases his troops, pours all the power of the country, and makes a desperate attempt to save Zhongzhou from the crisis."

Jin Jun, of course it is impossible to march into Zhongzhou with all the power of the country at this moment.

Xiaozong Quwo, who has won the support of the King of Qin, has made a lot of tricks recently.

At this time, Situ Zhida, a younger brother of the Zhizhuo family, sneered, and said loudly, "Why did the old general change his mind so quickly? In the previous court meeting, the old-fashioned words that should not be abandoned halfway, just like that. Huang Zhong Da Lu, the words are still ringing in his ears, why can't he do anything, put all his eggs in one basket?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the civil and military ministers in the palace who were born in the Zhi family also echoed.

Recalling that day, when the troops of Han and Zhao were defeated, the court discussed their opinions and unanimously demanded that Zhao Jian retreat, but Jin Jun hesitated, and it was Wei Wujiu who made the final decision.

then……

Just when New Year's Eve came, Wei Fu's [-]-strong army was wiped out!

The old god Zhi Zhuo was there, he neither assisted nor dissuaded his clan brother from attacking Wei Wujiu.

Just in my heart... secretly giving a thumbs up.

Zhi Da sneered, and asked, "Could it be because Wei Fu's [-]-strong army was newly defeated, and the old general has since feared that Marquis Su?"

Wei Wujiu gave Zhida a cold look, and said: "At this moment, at that moment, originally I had more than [-] troops, plus the guards, I could still fight, but Zhida, I heard Zhao Da Sima say , the front-line army rations cannot be transferred, and the army has been short of food for half a month. The reason is that the officials of the four counties in Heshuobian County did not transfer food and fodder to the front line. Wan Dajun is dead?"

Jin Jun looked gloomy, and asked: "Is there such a thing? Why don't you supply the frontline army with military supplies?"

Dazai Zhizhuo clasped his hands, took over the conversation, and said, "Your Majesty, please let me know about this matter."

Jin Jun's face was cold, and he said suddenly: "Speak."

Although he knew about the struggle between the four clans in the court, he always thought that it was all within a limited range and did not rise to the level of delaying military affairs.

Zhizhuo's face was serious, and he reported: "Your Majesty, the grain and grass transported by Heshuobian County, and the food and road stations along the way are all attacked by cavalry soldiers of the Soviet and Wei allied forces. Ten percent of the army rations sent to the front line will not go to thirty percent. After hearing about it, on the one hand, he ordered the counties in Heshuo to send more soldiers to guard along the road. On the other hand, he sent an official letter to Zhao Sima, asking him to send more cavalry to respond. The incident of soldiers being attacked and killed along the way has intensified, and less than [-]% of the food and fodder delivered to the front line!"

Jin Jun frowned and said, "Why didn't you report this matter?"

Zhizhuo's lips moved, but he didn't speak after all.

Gein, these days, Lord Jin is busy with one thing—practice!
Under the guidance of a powerful person from the Youluo God Sect, Jin Jun refined the huge fortune of Jin's humanity, and established a foundation through the use of laws.

As for the matter of food and roads on the front line, Zhizhuo was entrusted with it.

Zhi Zhuo has been in charge of this matter all along and never made a mistake, so Jin Jun naturally didn't bother.

Jin Jun's expression turned pale, and he stopped asking further questions, instead, he asked Wei Wujiu, worried: "Wei Qing, the front line is now, how to supply the military supplies?"

Wei Wujiu said: "The Demon Sect of the Heart that accompanied us in the army used fairy boats and magic weapons to transport them, but there were not many transports at a time."

Jin Jun was silent for a long time, and said: "Unexpectedly, Zhao Qing's situation is so difficult."

The anger in my heart for Zhao Jian's disobedience to the king's order has also subsided a little.

Wei Wujiu said: "Your Majesty, the affairs of Zhongzhou are beyond the reach."

"How can I not know if I'm alone." Jun Jin said in a deep voice.

Since the 15 troops of Han, Zhao, and Wei were successively lost, he only felt angry and unbelievable, and then realized that the strategy of Luewei had completely failed!
It was then that he hurriedly called Zhao Jian's class teacher back to the capital.

And just as the hall fell into depressing silence, the eunuch's sharp voice came from outside the hall, "General Wei Fu begs to see Your Majesty."

"Xuan!" Jin Jun was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly ordered Wei Fu to have an audience.

Not long after, Wei Fu entered the palace under the guidance of an eunuch, pushed the golden mountain like a jade pillar, knelt down and said: "Wei Fu, the sinner, has seen your lord!"

Before Jin Jun could speak, Wei Wujiu sneered and said, "Our left general is back? How many soldiers did he bring back?"

Wei Fu's face was ashamed, and he knelt down and worshiped: "The criminal will be incompetent and incompetent. He was caught in the enemy's treachery, and he was ambushed by the tired army. I also ask the king to punish him!"

Jin Jun looked at Wei Fu below, his expression changed.

For Wei Fu's defeat, if there is no anger, it is almost impossible.

Even, compared to Zhao Quji and Han Renyan's death in battle, it can be said that he died in the king's affairs.

And Wei Fu's only avoidance is even more annoying.

But Wei Fu's situation is still a little special, he uses troops, is brave and diligent, but also reckless and aggressive, and his military career is also a combination of defeats and victories.

Every time the title is cut off, this Wei Fu can show up again.

Sure enough, Zongbo Ji Yuankai said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, old minister, please punish Wei Fu for the crime of defeating the army!"

Afterwards, there were ministers in the palace, who went out to join him.

Jin Jun said in a deep voice: "Wei Fu rushed forward in a hurry, resulting in the defeat of the army, cut off the official position of General Zuo, demoted to the city gate school lieutenant, among them, the noble of the Qing was reduced to the noble of the next doctor."

"The crime will be obeyed." Wei Fu bowed his head and bowed again, heaving a sigh of relief.Although he is the captain of the city gate, this is not the first time he has held this position. I believe that he will resume his job in a short time.

"How is the situation in Zhao Qing's place? Why did you refuse to retreat?" Jin Jun asked.

Wei Fu said hastily: "I'm about to speak to your majesty."

As he spoke, he told what Zhao Jian said about the advantages and disadvantages of retreating.

Zhi Da said in a cold voice: "If you don't retreat again, does Zhao Jian want me to be a child of the third Jin Dynasty, and all of them will be lost in Weitu?"

Zhi Zhuo glared at Zhi Da, and said: "Zhao Da Sima is a strategic plan for the country, how can you say that you are someone who doesn't understand military affairs?"

Jin Jun looked at the scene in the palace indifferently, just like seeing Wei Wujiu scolding his nephew just now, watching with cold eyes.

"Wei Qing, return to the army immediately, and make it clear to Zhao Qing that you must retreat quickly without any mistakes!" Jun Jin looked at Wei Wujiu and said calmly.

"I obey." Wei Wujiu sighed inwardly, and clapped his hands in agreement.

……

……

In the camp of the Jin Army——

The night was dark, everything was still, and the oil lamp was still on, casting a tall and straight figure on the military tent.

In front of a screen of mountains and rivers, Zhao Jian stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of worry, and he had already presented the performance table to Jin Jun with the help of the admonishing doctor Jin Cai.

"The food and fodder in Heshuobian County has not been resupplied, and the food and fodder in the army these days have all been taken care of by Wei Pan's troops. If this continues, the army may be in danger of being destroyed." Zhao Jian was very anxious at the moment, which made him terrified. Yes, he can't advance or retreat at this moment, if he raises the question of withdrawing troops again, he may become the laughing stock of the Duke of Jin.

"Mr. Zhao." At this moment, a middle-aged scribe wearing a black hat, with a hasty expression, opened the curtain and entered the Chinese army camp.

Zhao Jian turned his head to look at the person who came, and said in surprise, "Bi Canjun, are you still asleep?"

The person who came was Bi Hao, who joined the army in the recording room, with a wry smile on his elegant middle-aged face: "The wounded soldiers in each battalion are noisy, and the generals gather in the army tents to discuss. How can the humble post sleep?"

Zhao Jian frowned, thought for a while, and sighed: "In the past few days, the soldiers of the school have suffered heavy casualties, and it is not surprising that complaints have spread."

The commotion on New Year's Eve was forcibly suppressed by him, coupled with the subsequent massive attack by the Soviet and Wei allied forces, the generals and schools who were clamoring to return to the division were forced to calm down temporarily due to the situation.

However, these three days of fighting have made the Jin army's backlog of resentment even worse.

"Mr. Zhao, some soldiers said that Mr. Zhao disregarded the safety of the soldiers for his own merits." Bi Hao pondered for a while, and said in a concentrated voice: "If this continues, there may be unforeseen disasters."
