Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

Chapter 395 Gathering Guanzhong’s Power

Although Wang Shu made a great contribution to the Xingyuan Mansion, his "closing out" behavior undoubtedly greatly harmed the interests of the soldiers on the front line of Shaanxi. The reason is actually just that he was inspired by Wu Jie's martial arts to build a festival. Just jealous.Therefore, Wu Jie and Wang Yan jointly submitted a letter to Zhang Jun, who was then the envoy of Xuanfu in Sichuan and Shaanxi, demanding severe punishment for Wang Shu.

Zhang Jun received the letter from the two men and pondered for a long time. He knew that Wang Shu's move really had the heart of the soldiers on the cold front. If he was not severely punished, it would be difficult to quell the public anger.Moreover, once this trend begins, it will be difficult for all the states and counties to work together, leaving them to work independently, and Shaanxi's military will be in disarray.Moreover, at this time, some people said that Wang Shu was self-respecting and might be difficult to control, which made Zhang Jun even more uneasy about Wang Shu's behavior.

Therefore, Zhang Jun ordered people to summon generals from Sichuan and Shaanxi to discuss Shaanxi's military affairs.A few days later, generals from all walks of life arrived. Zhang Jun focused on everyone in the lobby. Seeing everyone arriving, Zhang Jun first asked about the situation of the people and horses and the movements of the Jin army and the puppet forces.When Wu Jie mentioned that Wanyan Salihe and Yu Fengxiang were rectifying the troops and intending to advance westward.Zhang Jun took the opportunity to speak to Wang Shu: "Zishang, I heard that you have been very effective in running the army in Xingyuan Mansion. There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the mansion, and your reputation is growing. Now Wu Jiedu has insufficient men and horses, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop the Jin people. , you can lend him 2 horses to fight against the Jin, what do you think?"

When Wang Shu heard that he wanted to borrow other people's horses, he immediately felt disgusted, so he stood up and said, "I hope Lord Xuanfu will see clearly that when I went to Xingyuan Mansion that day, I only had 2000 men and horses, so I raised an uprising flag and gathered the broken troops into the army. Nowadays, all the troops in the army are defeated by Fuping. The people have no fighting spirit and the generals have no ambition. How can we fight a war? The reason why I announced to the outside world that there are tens of thousands of troops stationed in Xingyuan Mansion is really a helpless move to confuse bandits and gold thieves. If Xuanfu is Your Excellency must recruit people from the Wufu government, otherwise everything in the government will be ruined."

After hearing this, Wu Jie and others on the side showed contempt, while Zhang Jun even had a gloomy face and said nothing.Afterwards, Zhang Jun arranged various matters in Sichuan and Shaanxi and arranged for everyone to rest.

That night, Wu Jie and Wang Yan came to Zhang Jun's house. As soon as they saw Zhang Jun, they complained again, and they were even more indignant at what Wang Shu said.Wu Jie said: "Mr. . And Xingyuan Mansion is located behind enemy lines, so there is no need to be wary of the Jin. General Wang and I are on the front line of the Jin army, confronting the Jin army day and night. Now the army cannot make ends meet with food and grass, and the troops are out of strength. Once the war breaks out, the soldiers will use How to face the enemy?"

Wang Yan also said: "The king is self-respecting the troops at this time and is not subject to the orders of the commander. He is selfish and does not care about the overall situation of Shaanxi. His intentions are sinister and can be punished."

Seeing that Zhang Jun was silent, Wu Jie said again: "Don't you think about what happened that day? If a general is unfair, the morale of the army will be chaotic. If this thief is not replaced, please remove me and the others from their posts." Choose talents who can ward off golden thieves." After saying this, he bowed and bowed.Wang Yan on the side also nodded and bowed, agreeing with Wu Jie's intention.

Zhang Jun knew that the contradiction in this matter was difficult to reconcile. If Wang Shu was not replaced, it would be difficult for all the armies in the northwest to unite. Moreover, there had been problems in supporting the troops to respect themselves. Now he was extremely suspicious of Wang Shu, fearing that he would follow the same example as before. Quite a story.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jun helped the two of them up and said: "This is indeed what you two said, but Wang Shu has been running the Xingyuan Mansion for a long time. He cannot be dismissed in a hurry. Let me take care of it slowly." He comforted the two of them again.

After all the generals returned to their bases, Zhang Jun thought hard and came up with a plan. He first wrote to Wang Shu, saying that the imperial court knew that he had made meritorious service and had achieved results under his rule, and intended to promote him.Wang Shu did not doubt that he was there, and was delighted. He wrote back to thank Zhang Jun for his support.Zhang Jun was so confident that he issued a transfer order a few days later, ordering Wang Si, the prefect of Chengdu, to take up a post in Xingyuan Prefecture, and transferred Wang Shu to the post of prefect of Chengdu.Chengdu Prefecture is a large county with a vast territory under its jurisdiction. It also encompasses Sichuan and Sichuan areas, which have not been ravaged by the Jin cavalry. The people are rich and the army is strong, so the king and his concubines are happy to go there.

After the first step of Zhang Jun's plan was completed, he was determined. A few days later, Liu Ziyu was appointed magistrate of Xingyuan, Wang Si was reinstated as magistrate of Chengdu, and Wang Shu was demoted to magistrate of Jiazhou.Only then did Wang Shu understand what Zhang Jun meant, and he became furious in the palace and cursed Zhang Jun. But now he was far away from Xingyuan Mansion and had no foundation. He had not been in office for a long time in Chengdu Mansion and had no confidants. Therefore, although he complained a lot, he still had no choice but to go. Jiazhou took office.

Liu Ziyu was originally a member of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposition Envoy who was in charge of the military affairs. He was stationed in Hechi and specialized in supervising the water transportation of the Jialing River to ensure the supply of military supplies for Wu Jie's army. Therefore, he and Wu Jie were close friends.Moreover, he was a loyal and courageous man, endowed with perseverance, and was born into a general. He was proficient in classics and history at the age of ten. At the age of 11, he joined the army with his father, the famous general Liu Kai.At that time, there were frequent wars, so Liu Ziyu abandoned literature and martial arts. "In the hot summer and severe cold, he would wear a single shirt early in the morning and go to the classroom to learn how to shoot three hundred arrows." Therefore, he was proficient in strategy and martial arts.

During the Jingkang period, his father, Liu Kai, served as the deputy envoy to the two rivers and the guardian of the four walls of the capital. After the Jingkang Incident, he preferred to die and hanged himself to die for the country. Therefore, Liu Ziyu hated the Jin people to the core.

During the Jianyan period, Liu Ziyu served as military counselor of the Jiankang Imperial Envoy Department and as a privy secretarial officer.At that time, they all inspected Fan Qiong for supporting his troops and threatening the court. Liu Ziyu and Zhang Jun jointly planned to implement a plan to eliminate Fan Qiong and reorganize his troops, so he was highly regarded by Zhang Jun.So when Zhang Jun was appointed as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, he asked Liu Ziyu to participate in the military affairs because of his wisdom and courage, and ordered him to go to Qinzhou to command the five-pronged army.After Liu Ziyu took office, he established military regulations, strictly enforced military discipline, and took control of his troops. He successively recovered lost lands in Yan'an, Jinning, Linfu, Lufang, Gongxian and other prefectures and counties, and his military power flourished.Later, due to his outstanding military achievements, he was promoted to Huiyou Pavilion and served as a military advisor under Zhang Jun. He had a close relationship with Wu Jie and other northwest generals.

Therefore, after Zhang Jun transferred Wang Si and Wang Shu, he asked Wu Jie and others who would be the best magistrate of Xingyuan Prefecture. All the generals recommended Liu Ziyu, and Zhang Jun also felt that he belonged to him, so he appointed him as the prefect of Xingyuan Prefecture.

After Liu Ziyu left Hechi and took office in Xingyuan, he immediately canceled Wang Shu's previous policy of seclusion and allowed Jin and Feng Prefectures to trade with Xingyuan Prefecture, and also transported grain and millet, trying his best to ensure the military needs of Wu Jie and Wang Yan's two armies. As a result, the food shortage crisis in the two states was relieved, and the morale of the army was stabilized.Because of this, Wu Jie and Wang Yan were very grateful to Liu Ziyu.

Just when Liu Ziyu took over the affairs of Xingyuan Mansion and stabilized the rear supplies for the northwest front, Wu Jie and other generals were intensifying their military preparations and gathering the strength of the entire Guanzhong to prepare for the attack of the Jin Army and the puppet Qi, but something happened in the DPRK.

Wang Si, the prefect of Chengdu, was originally an in-law of the left prime minister Lu Yihao. He was dissatisfied with Zhang Jun's transfer of him back and forth, so he wrote to Lu Yihao, saying that Zhang Jun used people and money to do whatever he wanted in Sichuan and Shaanxi. He killed generals Zhao Zhe and Qu Duan first and then played them. Officials in Sichuan and Shaanxi were promoted and demoted as they pleased, but they did not take the prime minister seriously.

Lu Yihao handed this letter to Zhu Shengfei for reading. At this time, Zhu Shengfei also recommended him to overthrow Qin Hui with him and became the right prime minister again.Zhu Shengfei had been impeached by Zhang Jun due to the Miao-Liu Incident, so he had a personal grudge against him, so he took this opportunity to write to Emperor Gaozong, stating that Zhang Jun was ineffective in managing Sichuan and Shaanxi, leading to the defeat of Fuping.This memorial was published, but I don’t know how Emperor Gaozong dealt with it.
