Li Zhang

Wu Zijun strongly recommended Li Zhang to Su Qingyang the next day, but Zhang Yu couldn't stop him, Su Qingyang had ordered Wu Zijun to take Li Zhang to the Chinese army camp to meet him.

Before leaving, Zhang Yu hesitated to speak, and finally said to Wu Zijun: "General Su is incorruptible and arrogant, and he hates nepotism the most. You and I didn't catch his eyes when we first came. Xiao Zhang is like this..., I'm afraid there will be ambiguity again. I think it's better for Zijun to keep his words to himself."

Wu Zijun said disapprovingly: "You yourself said that he didn't like us at the beginning, but he didn't see our benefits in the end! Beijiang is different now, and Cheng Xuan won't give us too much time. Even if our thoughts are now Let’s start, and the training of the army will not be completed overnight. If you don’t try to persuade General Su to start as soon as possible, you will only be delaying the opportunity!”

"Having said that, the matter of Zhang Yuan has not faded away, and Zijun's eagerness may be counterproductive!"

"His battle in Shanqian Village is more exciting and exciting than Zhang Yuan's!"

"But his identity..."

"What's wrong with your identity? He's the commander of the Ninth Division!"

Zhang Yu suddenly became speechless, and looked proud at Li Zhang.He stopped insisting, took a step back and said, "Maybe, I was worrying too much."

He turned to Li Zhang and said: "General Su has always had his own standards for ministers. You have real talents and practical learning, so my elder brother is not worried. But, if General Su mentions the emperor, you..."

"Don't worry, brother, I know what to do."

Li Zhang stopped Zhang Yu with a smile, reassuring him, and went to the camp of the Chinese army together with Wu Zijun who was full of disapproval.

On the way, Wu Zijun complained about Zhang Yu's mother-in-law in a rare way, and at the same time shared his experience in dealing with Su Qingyang.

Li Zhang couldn't help being curious: "Is this General Su very unreasonable?"

Wu Zijun was stunned for a moment: "Uh..., it's not unreasonable, it's just that he has strict self-discipline and is known for being strict with his subordinates. But he has always been fair and selfless, and has clear rewards and punishments, so he is deeply loved by his subordinates. This is also the pain of the Dingbei Army. The main reason for being able to stand up again after losing Jiuyuan Yunzhong. The backbone of Beijiang is not just a title."

Li Zhang was relieved, and smiled at Wu Zijun: "Since that's the case, what we plan to do does not conflict with his request, so why should brother worry so much?"

Wu Zijun hesitated for a moment, then continued: "General Su blamed himself deeply for Zhang Yuan's change this time. The general interceded, and he had a record in Shanqian Village, so he was spared the death penalty. After being fined a hundred army sticks and demoted to be a Dubo, he was transferred to be a teacher, which obviously cut off his chance of making meritorious deeds. Let's decide It was the first time for the Northern Army to see General Su punish his subordinates so ruthlessly, and Zhang Yu felt aggrieved, so he naturally had more concerns."

Li Zhang frowned and said, "There must be something hidden in Zhang Yuan's mistake. How could General Su put all the responsibility on elder brother so easily?"

Wu Zijun sighed, and said somewhat vaguely: "Hexi and Chengxuan knocked on the pass at the same time, General Su rushed Rong Huan to rescue him, but Rong Huan lost Zhang Yuan when he moved Zhang Yuan, but there was no movement at Yanmen Pass... It is said He once pleaded guilty in tens of thousands of words, but was dismissed by the emperor as a paranoid and introspection. However, General Su still remembered his own mistakes. After learning about Zhang Yuan’s fall, he would secretly mobilize Ling Yuncong, who was guarding the city gate. Seeing as a spy, Zhang Yu, who reused him, can't escape, Zhang Yu can't explain Ling Yuncong's behavior, and he can't be trusted if he argues."

Li Zhang was stunned for a while: "Really cousin...? No way!"

Wu Zijun turned his head and glanced at him: "Your cousin has a bad criminal record, so it's no wonder General Su can't trust you."

"What about Brother Ang? Do you believe that he is a spy of the barbarians?"

Wu Zijun shook his head: "Although I have no contact with him, in the encounter last autumn, thanks to him finding out the barbarian's ambush in time, a bitter battle was avoided. He is very talented as a scout, and I am afraid it is General Ling himself. Tutorial."

"But he disappeared."

Li Zhang's voice sounded a little dull, and Wu Zijun turned his head to look at him again: "Forget about Ling Yuncong. Zhang Yu was worried. I also thought about it. Mr. Jin told me what the emperor meant when he walked forward. There is already a secret decree for General Su, so there is no need to worry about it. What I am worried about is how to convince General Su of your ability as soon as possible..."

Li Zhang pondered and said: "Although the Jiufan Formation is infinitely varied, it does not necessarily require such meticulous work on the battlefield. It is only natural that General Su will not believe it. What's more, we are just an idea, and the details are not yet known. In my opinion, it is better Try it in the vanguard battalion first, at General Su's place, just let me know."

Wu Zijun nodded in agreement.

When Li Zhang followed Wu Zijun into the big tent, he saw a dignified middle-aged general sitting behind the desk. After Wu Zijun saluted, he cupped his fists and said, "Li Zhang has seen General Su."

After seeing Li Zhang's appearance clearly, Su Qingyang was obviously taken aback for a moment, and there was a hint of suspicion in his tone when he spoke: "Are you really Li Zhang?"

Li Zhang knew that he and Ling Yuncong looked similar, so he was not very surprised to see Su Qingyang like this, and replied with a normal expression: "This is indeed Li Zhang, and Ling Yuncong is my aunt's cousin."

Su Qingyang froze slightly, looked directly at Li Zhang and did not answer.

Wu Zijun took a step forward and said: "Li Zhang is the last general's companion of guards, because he was implicated in King Ning's case, he has not met until now. Although he and Ling Yuncong are relatives, they entered the palace very early, so they are not in harmony with Ling Yuncong. No connection."

Su Qingyang looked a little unhappy, but he didn't get angry. He just poked Wu Zijun coldly: "The former prince was let go by Ling Yuncong's car, right?"

"That is……"

Wu Zijun was still waiting to defend Li Zhang, but Li Zhang stopped him with his hand: "General Su, Li Zhang was indeed bound by family affection and made a big mistake by releasing Ling Yuncong privately, but since then we have had no news with him. However, I still don't believe that he will collude with the barbarians. Ling Yuncong's disappearance must have hidden secrets, and Zhang Yuan's disappearance also needs to be investigated... Li Zhang take the liberty!"

Su Qingyang sneered unknowingly: "You still know how to be presumptuous! Although you have made mistakes, you are still someone the emperor trusts, and this general will not care about you. Someone will investigate the matter of Ling Yuncong and Zhang Yuan, you just do it." You just need to do your own thing! Zijun is a real person, not used to tricks, since he strongly recommends you, this general also believes that you can do something. However, the Jiufanzhen is famous, and it is difficult for the army to fight. , Li Shiwei's ability is probably useless!"

Li Zhang bowed his head respectfully and said: "What the general said is true! It's just that I have some ideas with General Wu. I want to try it in the army. I wonder if the general will agree?"

Su Qingyang frowned: "How do you want to try?"

Wu Zijun clasped his fists and begged, "General Su, please allow Zijun to have a try in the forward battalion!"

Su Qingyang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the two of them carefully, and thought secretly.

He was the champion of martial arts at the same time as Ling Feng. After being selected by Emperor Jing to join the military department, he saw a lot of collusion methods between Wang Xueli and Wang Yuzhang.After Wang Yuzhang's accident, the Dingbei Army's morale was scattered and precarious, and no one in the military department was willing to take over. It was he who stepped forward and rebuilt the Dingbei Army, which had been almost consumed by foreign enemies and internal strife, into the backbone of Northern Xinjiang. In the battle against rebellion, he desperately defended the northern Xinjiang portal, laying the foundation for the final victory of rebellion.

His achievements were made by fighting bloody battles on the battlefield. He never bowed under the pressure of Cheng Tong and Sima Yao, and never gave credit to Emperor Jing and Sima Yi for protecting Mu Yan until he was named Second-rank generals have always maintained an extremely sober self-examination and self-discipline.He loves his reputation, just like a bird cherishes its feathers, and will not allow the slightest profanity.

This is also the fundamental reason why he hates Ling Yuncong.In his opinion, Ling Yuncong, who had repeatedly betrayed his master, was no longer worthy of being Ling Feng's son, let alone Ling Feng was dragged by him to death.

Now, Li Zhang, who resembles Ling Yuncong, dared to question his own judgment, which made him unhappy, and also doubted Li Zhang's character, and even felt that he was the eyeliner arranged by Sima Yi because of Zhang Yuan's affair.Even after he denied the practicability of Jiufanzhen in the army, Li Zhang still insisted on trying out in the army, which gave him the impression of being arrogant and arrogant.The reason why he endured until now is all because of Wu Zijun's attitude.The bravery and firmness of this forward general has always been an indispensable sharp knife for him. He saw Wu Zijun's protection of Li Zhang, so he temporarily suppressed his dissatisfaction with Li Zhang, nodded to the two: "Since Zijun also Agree, let’s try it. But the drills in the army are indispensible! What I need is a Dingbei Army that can fight in a down-to-earth manner, not a brawling brawl! You must remember this!”

"Yes!"

After the two led the order and went out, Wu Zijun couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Li Zhang looked at him with some amusement: "Unexpectedly, Brother Ang is also afraid sometimes!"

Wu Zijun lifted the helmet on his head in embarrassment, and sighed: "Although General Su was strict in the past, he was not harsh, but after this incident, there are indeed some differences. When dealing with Zhang Yu, I rushed to intercede, General Su His expression reminds me of the persecuted wolves in the wilderness..."

Li Zhang was speechless, unable to understand Su Qingyang's feelings, so he changed the topic: "I thought General Su would ask you some questions, but I have already thought about it on the way. The vanguard battalion has [-] soldiers, and a group of [-] people is already extremely complicated. Why not?" It is more concise and neat to cooperate with the change of a thousand-man brigade. General Su is right, the two armies confront the momentum first, and if it is too trivial, it will be the last thing to do."

Wu Zijun nodded: "It makes sense. It's just the cooperation of this thousand-man brigade..."

"Yeah! This is not like the formation of the three of you and me. The sword intent can be conveyed by the eyes. It needs a clear and simple command mark."

Wu Zijun agreed, thinking about the high platform semaphore and other methods, but he was limited to positional warfare, and it was difficult to adapt to the mobile penetration of the vanguard battalion.Li Zhang was curious about the combat methods of the Vanguard Battalion, so Wu Zijun patiently explained, interjecting battle examples from time to time, which was simple and clear.

Li Zhang frowned after hearing this: "If General Su is used to using the vanguard battalion in such a mobile way, it should be able to deal with it only by turning it into a three-man formation. There is no need to follow the order of the command, but to cover and kill back and forth according to the arranged order. As long as Arranged properly, it should be able to achieve both offense and defense.”

Wu Zijun was taken aback for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was feasible. The two of them walked slowly side by side, discussing in low voices. They walked straight for two hours before returning to the Qianfeng Camp. The figure of the person can't wait to get on the horse and go out to meet him.

The rapid sound of horse hoofs startled Wu Zijun back to his mind, and when he saw that it was Zhang Yu, he couldn't help waving his whip angrily: "Scare people!"

Zhang Yu dodged it, glared at Wu Zijun equally angrily, then turned to look at Li Zhang and asked, "Why have you been here for so long? What did General Su say?"

Li Zhang smiled and reassured Zhang Yu: "Although General Su is not optimistic, he still agreed to our request to try out in the forward battalion. Brother Ang and I discussed all the way, so we slowed down the schedule."

Zhang Yu stared again: "What else?"

Li Zhang didn't understand, so Wu Zijun interjected: "This kid is still defending Ling Yuncong! General Su's expression changed at that moment!"

Zhang Yu opened his mouth wide and said to Li Zhang with a wry smile for a long time: "Ling Yuncong's matter will come to light in the future, but when did you come here for your stubborn temper? You were not like this before... ..."

Li Zhang smiled, looked at the boundless sky in a blink of an eye, and said quietly: "You can't hide, and you can't hide if you retreat. It's better to raise your head and face, or you can find life." He looked at Zhang Yu who was a little dazed. He and Wu Zijun continued: "I will no longer put myself in the position of being manipulated by others. I want to control my own destiny."

After Li Zhang finished speaking, he smiled again, and the afterglow of the setting sun was dazzled by this smile. Zhang Yu and Wu Zijun looked at each other in amazement, and felt that the person in front of them seemed to have been reborn, and was no longer the boy they were familiar with.
