Song Emperor Jiangshan

Zhang Jun stood up against the case, pointed at Shi Hao and scolded: "Get out! Such shameless villains are not worthy of talking to me!"

Of course Shi Hao wouldn't just let it go, and was about to speak, when he heard a message from someone outside: "Dudu Zhang, Commander Xiao Shan is asking to see you."

Zhang Jun didn't want to see Xiao Shan very much, and the censor Wang Shipeng beside him persuaded him: "Commander, Xiao Shan is a celebrity in front of His Majesty, so don't make trouble too stiff."

Zhang Jun was silent, Prime Minister Chen Kangbo also said: "Mr. Zhang, although Xiao Shan is young and his family background is not very good, but he made great contributions in the bloody battle in Xiangyang, and Wan Yanliang can make Wan Yanliang shy away from him, which is considered to be some ability."

Zhang Jun weighed it in his heart, this time he was ordered to supervise the teacher, what he was most worried about was that the underground arrogant soldiers did not listen to the call and missed a major event, so he would not tolerate anyone challenging his authority.But it's not very good to really get stiff with Xiao Shan, after all, if he keeps ignoring the wind in front of the emperor, I can't bear it.After weighing, Zhang Jun said, "Let him in."

Xiao Shan walked into Zhang Jun's mansion and saw that except for Zhao Yuan, many civil servants were here, so he saluted Zhang Jun and said, "The last general has just spoken to Mr. Zhang for nothing. He has offended you a lot. I am here to plead guilty."

Zhang Jun hummed, and said: "It's all for state affairs, it's okay to argue a few words, General Xiao sit down."

Xiao Shan didn't really go to sit down, he looked at Shi Hao's face, and found that Shi Hao's face was not very good, and he could imagine that he must have had a bad nose with Zhang Jun, but it's really not good to be completely with Zhang Jun in this situation. After falling out, he laughed and said, "The last general dare not sit in front of Mr. Zhang."

Seeing that Xiao Shan's attitude towards him was pretty good, Zhang Jun also took the initiative to give in, his tone was not so blunt, and he gave in to Xiao Shan for a few words, and Xiao Shan sat down.Zhang Jun first said: "Just now in front of the imperial court, General Xiao objected to sending troops to Hongze. He said so much, but when you think about it carefully, those difficulties are not difficulties."

Xiao Shan listened attentively.Zhang Jun paced in the hall and said: "First, although the surrounding areas of Hongze are all occupied by Jin soldiers, one of them is the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, and the people during this period must have their hearts towards the imperial court; However, we can advance by land and water, upstream, and attack Hongze; thirdly, even if Wan Yanliang is well-defended, our army may not be unable to fight if we only need to dispatch superior forces that overwhelm him."

Seeing Zhang Jun discussing with himself, Xiao Shan also insisted on his own point of view: "A few years ago, the Qin thieves acted against the law. Unarmed, old, weak, women and children may not be of much use. Although our water army is slightly better than the gold soldiers, it does not have a geographical advantage in attacking against the current, and the outcome is unknown. Therefore, the last general suggested that if Zhang Xianggong insisted on attacking Hongze to destroy the For Wan Yanliang's battleship, it's better to send some less troops to catch the enemy by surprise and make a quick decision, maybe there is a slight chance of winning."

After talking and talking, the two still disagreed with each other, and the smell of gunpowder gradually became stronger again.

Censor Wang Shipeng, who was promoted by Zhang Jun, frowned and said: "The Privy Council discusses military affairs, military officers... military officers don't seem to conform to the ancestral system here."

Zhang Jun also didn't want to argue with Xiao Shan again, he used to command, except for Qu Duan who had quarreled with him, others quarreled with him very little, basically it was the Privy Council who decided where to fight, and how to fight was left to the military officer.Zhang Jun also felt that there was no need to debate with a military officer like Xiao Shan on the issue of where to fight, so he said, "General Xiao should not worry about this matter. You just need to mow your troops and follow orders when you are ready."

Xiao Shan couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up and said: "Don't ask the military officer about military affairs, don't look at the specific situation, and make some decisions blindly, it must be a wrong decision!"

Seeing that Xiao Shan began to refute his face again, Zhang Jun was extremely annoyed, and said displeasedly, "General Xiao should know about Qu Duan back then, right? He didn't listen to orders, which led to Fuping's defeat, and he beheaded him to correct the army! Is General Xiao planning to follow suit?" Was it Qu Duan back then?"

Seeing that Zhang Jun brought up this matter to threaten him, Xiao Shan sneered, and confronted him: "That day, the Taishang official's family was far away in Lin'an, so you were allowed to kill the general without permission. Whose responsibility is the Fuping defeat, everyone knows in their hearts !"

The quarrel escalated again, Zhang Jun sternly said: "Do you think I dare not touch you because you are protected by the officials? Let alone you, a Ququ fourth-rank military officer, it is Yue Fei who held a hundred thousand soldiers and horses in his hand. He goes east, but he dares not go west!"

Xiao Shan's temper also came up, he was a lowly general in the Song Dynasty, and he didn't mind being under the control of civil officials, but he couldn't tolerate such wanton contempt and insult. The Kingdom of Jin has been destroyed long ago, so why is Wan Yanliang invading south?"

Zhang Jun was trembling with anger from Xiao Shan, Shi Hao kept trying to pull Xiao Shan, hoping that he would not escalate the conflict between the two of them again and again, but Xiao Shan ignored it at all, staring at Zhang Jun, refusing to back down in the slightest.

Zhang Jun also glared at Xiao Shan, the two of them glared for a moment, and everyone hurriedly persuaded them to fight, Zhang Jun snorted, then shook his sleeves and said, "Do you think Xiangyang can win this battle again by luck by repelling Wan Yanliang? Just wait and see!"

Xiao Shan turned around and left, when he got to the door he couldn't swallow his breath, he turned around and said: "Then we will wait and see, Zhang Xianggong won the victory!"

Zhang Jun was completely enraged by Xiao Shan's words, and said sharply, "Xiao Shan, stop!"

Xiao Shan stopped, Zhang Jun said: "Okay, you just said that if you want to march into Hongze, you should send a small group of flexible troops to harass it? Then the governor will follow what you said, and leave this matter to you You lead a thousand people from the headquarters to attack Hongze by surprise. If you return victorious, I will apologize to you; if you return defeated, don’t blame the military for its ruthlessness!”

Xiao Shan didn't speak, he saluted Zhang Jun, turned around and left.

Shi Hao stomped his feet anxiously, sighed again and again, and chased after Xiao Shan.All the officials who stayed in Zhang Jun's mansion persuaded: "Mr. Zhang, why should he get angry with a vulgar military officer? What do those people who don't know a single word know?"

Zhang Jun raised his head slightly, but he had some calculations in his heart, he was about to frighten the army to demonstrate, but Xiao Shan bumped into his gun, he deserved to be shot in the first place.Zhang Jun said: "You are young and ignorant, you will know if you suffer a loss! You don't have to worry, when the time comes when he returns home, I will show mercy for His Majesty's sake."

Shi Hao hurriedly chased Xiao Shan, Xiao Shan didn't stop at his feet, Shi Hao called Xiao Shan three times in a row before he stopped, his face was not ugly just now where Zhang Jun was, but now a face can be seen without any makeup Go straight to being black and white impermanence.

Shi Hao stomped his feet and said, "You say you, why are you angry with him?" Xiao Shan was an accompanying student in the palace, and Shi Hao had also been his teacher for a while, so when he was in a hurry, he would not be so polite.

Xiao Shan said: "I'm not angry, I'm just thinking about how to minimize the loss! Now the Song army is short of troops, and the Jin soldiers are on the north bank. If you really want to cross the river, to be honest, you can cross anywhere! If you really follow Zhang Xianggong As I said, send superior troops to attack Hongze, once the battle is defeated, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Shi Hao was taken aback: "Can you cross anywhere?"

Xiao Shan felt a little bored, nodded and said: "Yes, back then... no, I think the main reason why the Jin people choose a suitable ferry now is because they are not very popular. If you really win the hearts of the people, let alone a battleship. Even if you rush to build a raft on the other side, you can cross the river with a million troops." When Xiao Shan said this, he couldn't help but think of the War of Liberation. The GM Party bombarded the other side with cannons, but it was no match for the 400 million troops on the other side. Fight across the river on a raft.As soon as he thought of this scene, he felt that it was too difficult to defend the Yangtze River this time when the Huaihe River was lost. There were not enough troops to defend along the coast.

Shi Haodao: "Zhang Xianggong can't figure it out, you can persuade him slowly, but it doesn't have to be like this."

Xiao Shan said: "Of course it can be delayed, but now Jinbing can't tolerate us delaying. Besides, even if he wants to send troops, he can send as little as possible. Going to Hongze is not without a slight chance of winning. It’s because the chances of winning are too small. I see that he is very determined, and I’m afraid it’s hard to convince him with half the words. I hope he can listen to more opinions if he loses as little as possible.”

Shi Hao thought for a while, and at present there is indeed no better way to reconcile. Zhang Jun asked Xiao Shan to bring a small amount of troops to go, and Xiao Shan was willing to go, which can be regarded as a step back.But it is useless to discuss this matter in private, the emperor is here, it is absolutely impossible to bypass Zhao Yuan.

Zhang Jun immediately went to Zhao Yuan and told him all about his combat intentions.Xiao Shan was sent to attack the rear of the Jin people and harass the enemy, while a large force also crossed the river at the same time, went to the north bank, and fought on two fronts.Zhao Yuan pondered for a long time, all kinds of things rushed into his mind, he considered more things than Xiao Shan and Zhang Jun, not only this time's victory or defeat, but also how to deal with it after winning, and how to deal with it after losing. how to respond.Wan Yanliang's troops have now been mobilized to the two places of Caishi Guazhou, and they are preparing to attack Jiankang. These two places must be guarded by heavy troops. There is an isolated island in the middle of the Jiankang River, named Bagua Island. For the garrison and navy, Bagua Island is only [-] or [-] steps away from the north bank of the river. From then on, crossing the river to the north, it is also a good idea to assist the two places of Caishi Guazhou.

Zhang Jun's proposal was denied once in the morning, and now his proposal has been improved, and there is nothing wrong with it.If it is completely denied again, rumors will inevitably spread in the court, especially Zhao Gou in Lin'an, will definitely wait for the opportunity to move, and the power of the main peace faction will inevitably increase, making it even more difficult to deal with.

The only bad thing is that Xiao Shan's task is too difficult and too dangerous.

Seeing that Zhao Yuan kept frowning and keeping silent, Zhang Jun kept tapping his fingers on the table in turn, so he asked, "If Your Majesty thinks there is nothing wrong, I will give orders to all the generals."

Zhao Yuan finally couldn't help but asked: "Xiao Shan went deep into the enemy's territory, and only brought 1000 troops, it's too dangerous." He still felt distressed after all.

Zhang Jun said: "Is it not dangerous to fight? Wen Jian died, Wu Zhan died, and he died in the right place. This is his honor, and it is also his intention."

Zhao Yuan nodded and said: "You go down first, I will give you an answer after thinking about it."

After Zhang Jun left, Zhao Yuan immediately summoned Xiao Shan and asked, "Xiao Qing, it is too dangerous for you to cross the river with only 1000 troops. Do you want to reconsider?"

Xiao Shan thought for a while, then shook his head and denied Zhao Yuan's words: "There are no horses, only people!"

Zhao Yuan was startled, and blurted out: "What did you say?" Xiao Shan looked around, and said: "This matter is confidential, please send the left and right back, Your Majesty."

Censor Wang Shipeng was still beside Zhao Yuan, he frowned when he heard Xiao Shan's request, Xiao Shan meant that he was not reliable?

Zhao Yuan waved his hand, signaled everyone to go out, and closed the door, Xiao Shan then said: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, I will lead people to smuggle in at night, 1000 people will walk separately, gather after arriving in Hongze, and launch a surprise attack."

Zhao Yuan originally thought that Xiao Shan had some perfect strategy, but he didn't expect that he would take such a risk that he didn't even need a horse. Once he succeeds, it might be difficult for him to even come back.Zhao Yuan was also a little annoyed at Zhang Jun's actions. His arrangement seemed to be an avenging act, but Xiao Shan and Zhang Jun did not get along. Alright, Zhang Xianggong, I will talk about him."

Xiao Shan looked at Zhao Yuan helplessly, shook his head and said, "I can't ask His Majesty for everything, a child who has not been weaned will make Mr. Zhang look down on me even more. Besides, I have already made up my mind, this time I will go, All I brought with me were special soldiers trained by me at ordinary times. If we retreat, if there is no way to the south, we can go to Shandong. Does Your Majesty still remember Zhang Zhixiong? He came to see the minister last year. There are already two or three thousand people. This year, Wan Yanliang has recruited peasants everywhere and extorted them violently. Many people can't survive. In just half a year, there are already more than ten thousand people. You can use other places to return by sea, and you can It won't take too long."

Zhao Yuan felt a little uncomfortable, and after a while he said: "It's also to blame for these years, the elites in the court have withered, and the newcomers are not qualified and prestige enough, so I can only appoint Zhang Jun." Xiao Shan looked at Zhao Yuan for a while, and said meaningfully : "Your Majesty will lead the six armies in person. It's good to be kind, but..."

Zhao Yuan remained silent, and after a while he slowly raised his head, his eyes showing unprecedented firmness: "You're right!"

Xiao Shan bowed: "It's getting late, I still have to make preparations, so I'll take my leave."

Zhao Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand and took Xiao Shan's hand: "If you win the first battle, I will speak more confidently. Be careful in everything and take care of yourself."

Xiao Shan smiled, and suddenly pulled Zhao Yuan over: "If I come back victorious, Your Majesty will reward me heavily." Zhao Yuan blushed slightly, and said: "Okay, you go!"
