Chapter 492: Unexpected candidates(1/2)
If something is extremely difficult and the prospects are unclear, and if you get involved in something that is likely to cause trouble, most people will definitely avoid it and try every possible means to exclude themselves.
outer.
But if something becomes a piece of fat, and if you get involved, you may be rewarded, promoted, or rich, then many people will try their best to get involved.
Now, attacking the traitor Xiao Ding has become such a delicious piece of fat meat.
News from the north is flying all over the sky now.
Most of them said that Xiao Ding had been defeated by Liao general Xiao Siwen and Yeluhuan, and his life or death was unknown.
For the officials, they knew very accurately that Xiao Ding was currently confronting Xiao Siwen at Xuanglei Sai, and that the other Liao army, led by Yelu Huan, had occupied Dongshoujiang City, and the army had crossed Heishan as it moved forward.
, arrived near Zhongshoujiang City.
Xiao Ding is indeed in danger.
Moreover, Xiao Ding's main force was also confirmed to have arrived at the Thunder Pagoda. It was only the second-line troops of the Western Army that confronted the Song Army on the Hengshan line in the south.
None of the famous Iron Kites and Bubazi from the Western Army are here.
They were all dragged up to fight against the Liao army.
When eating persimmons, pick the soft ones and pinch them!
The Western Army now in front of the Song Army is definitely a soft persimmon!
There are many people who want to make meritorious deeds.
The Song Dynasty attacked the Western Army, and this time it can be said that it was a perfect attack.
Not only Shaanxi Road, which has been preparing, Qinfeng Road and Hedong Road also received orders at the same time.
Qin Fenglu attacked the Jingsai Military Division of the Western Army.
Hedong Road attacked the Shenyong Army Division in the left wing, which is the Luowucheng area.
The middle road leads from Shaanxi Road to Jianing Military Division.
In the eyes of many people, apart from Zhang Cheng, who faced a tough problem, there were actually loopholes to exploit in the other two approaches.
For example, in the Qingsai Army Division, the general was Yu Zanghuama from Tubo.
It's hard to say how loyal this person is to Xiao Ding.
Maybe seeing Xiao Ding approaching a disaster, he might be able to rebel against him.
Anyway, whatever Xiao Ding can give him, the Song Dynasty court can also give him.
Moreover, Da Song's thighs were obviously much thicker than Xiao Ding's legs.
At Luowucheng, another key point of the Western Army, the general guarding it was Zhang Yunsheng.
Li Du's son-in-law.
Li Xu was defeated at the hands of Xiao Ding, and Li Du died in the hands of the Western Army. Zhang Yunsheng's surrender back then was an act of desperation. So now, can Zhang Yunsheng be persuaded to betray Xiao Ding?
It’s very possible!
As long as Zhang Yunsheng surrenders, Luo Wucheng will immediately become a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Western Army.
Zhang Cheng does not have such convenience. Neither Li Yi from Shentangbao nor Tuoba Fenwu from Gaoqiao Village can be said to surrender.
It is natural for Lan Sixin to be worried.
Speaking of which, if Zhang Cheng had made a contribution here, he, the pacifier, would naturally be the one strategizing and taking charge of the overall situation. Of course, the biggest credit belongs to him.
After working on the road in Shaanxi for so long, he also wanted to return to Bianliang, enter the capital hall, and become a real Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty!
Moreover, Zhang Cheng has focused exclusively on the army over the years. The army on the Shaanxi Road can be regarded as a true elite!
At least Lan Sixin felt that the Shangsi Army was much stronger than the Shangsi Army he had seen in earlier years.
It's just that Zhang Cheng's luck seems a bit bad.
So this time he personally came to cheer Zhang Cheng up and cheer him up.
He knew that Zhang Cheng cherished the lives of his soldiers very much. He had seen it personally in the past two days. Once the attack was blocked and the losses were too great, Zhang Cheng would immediately order a retreat and find another way.
But according to Lan Sixin, this is not possible.
How can we be afraid of dying in a war?
Victory is achieved by stacking up lives.
Some advice, I hope Zhang Cheng will understand.
The two of them are almost tied together now!
At this time, Zhang Yunsheng, who was far away in Luowucheng, was standing at the top of the city, watching a man who looked like a businessman sitting in a basket being lowered down the city wall.
That man was an official from the Song Dynasty, and he was currently serving as an official on Hedong Road. It seemed that he had some connections with me. He had a teacher when he was a student, and he could be said to be a senior fellow apprentice.
However, Zhang Yunsheng later abandoned literature and joined the martial arts, and then went to the northwest to join the Dingnan Army. Later, he fell into the eyes of Li Du and rose through the ranks.
Han Zhen, the pacifier of Hedong Road, was really good at finding his childhood friend to come and ask for surrender.
Seeing that the man came down from the city wall and turned back to wave to him, Zhang Yunsheng smiled and waved again and again.
"General!" Beside him, Zhang Duan, a trusted general, looked uneasy.
Zhang Yunsheng looked back at him and said, "What do you think about this matter?"
Zhang Duan hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course I listen to you."
"Xiao Changqing treats me well." Zhang Yunsheng said calmly: "If you don't surrender to the general, let me be in charge of the entire left wing Shenyong Army Division. The entire Western Army is considered a meritocracy. Everyone gets along without so many twists and turns. Generally speaking,
I still have a very happy life here.”
"What do you mean?"
"Since I have such a good time, I naturally want to continue like this." Zhang Yunsheng said: "I have been in the Song Dynasty, and I have also been in the Dingnan Army, but when it comes to it, the real relaxation is when I entered the Western Army.
Year."
Zhang Duan breathed a sigh of relief: "I have had a pretty easy life these past few years."
Zhang Yunsheng smiled: "Do you know who designed this entire system of the Western Army?"
"I heard that Erlang of the Xiao family designed it together with Zhang Yuan and Zhang Changshi!" Zhang Duan said.
"That's to put gold on Zhang Changshi's face!" Zhang Yunsheng said: "The entire system of the Western Army was designed by Xiao Erlang. It ensures the activity and flow of the system to the greatest extent. The capable ones have a stage to dance, and the inferior ones have a stage to dance.
There are upward channels, rewards and punishments are measured, and advances and retreats are well-founded. The reason why the Western Army has maintained such a high fighting spirit over the years lies in this."
"But now it seems that the Western Army is really in danger." Zhang Duan said worriedly.
Zhang Yunsheng laughed: "Then Han Zhen sounded like he was giving me alms, didn't he just think that General Manager Xiao would be defeated in the north? And I am just a surrendered general, a guy who can make all kinds of changes?" Zhang Yunsheng took it out of his arms.
Han Zhen, the comfort envoy of Hedong Road, wrote to him in a personal letter, sneering: "The civil servants of the Song Dynasty are still the same as before, but this era is not the same as before."
With a few chirps, the letter was torn to pieces in Zhang Yunsheng's hands, turning into pieces of snowflakes falling from his hands.
"If Mr. Xiao is really powerless in the north, will Xingqing Mansion still be so peaceful now?"
"This is what I find strange. Several military divisions on the southern front are now facing threats from the Song army, but the two armies of Leidejin and Zheng Jihua can be transferred back. Anyway, the Black Khans will not be able to do so for a while.
The threat may be too high. There is also the uighur riot in Xizhou, which will never become a problem."
"So, the so-called General Manager Xiao can't stand it in the north is just an illusion." Zhang Yunsheng narrowed his eyes: "Don't you and I still understand the true combat effectiveness of the Western Army?"
"Since General you don't want to have anything to do with the Song Dynasty at all, why are you still unclear about getting involved with them? We are not the only ones in Luowu City... If these matters fall to the people of Fang Si Xu Shen
That would be troublesome." Zhang Duan glanced left and right and his voice became quieter.
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Yunsheng said with a smile: "If you don't fight with them, how can you cheat Han Futai! He looks down on me so much."
Zhang Duan looked at Zhang Yunsheng with wide eyes.
Luowu City, as the first point of entry into Hengshan, is even more important than Shentangbao and Gaoguai Village. There are more than 10,000 troops stationed here, and most of them are remnants of the former Dingnan Army.
Two pieces, through normal decommissioning, redeployment and other means, some have been replaced by new troops.
This approach did invisibly reduce Zhang Yunsheng's influence, but Xiao Ding did it openly and even openly discussed this issue with Zhang Yunsheng when he went to Xingqing Mansion.
Zhang Yunsheng had nothing to say.
Because this kind of thing has long been established in the major military divisions of the Western Army, and it is not aimed at him alone. Like his own subordinates, there are also thousands of Tibetan soldiers transferred from Yu Zanghuama! And
There is also a war camp with five hundred people at Tuoba Fenwu in Kaojia Village, who were transferred from here.
In order to maintain stability and balance, we must also maintain combat effectiveness.
This is the strategy of the Western Army.
Dozens of generals gathered in the meeting hall, and the person in charge of the Staff Department that Zhang Duan mentioned was also among them.
"In those two places, Shentang Fort and Kao Kao Village, I heard that people's brains were beaten into dog brains. Li Yi, Tuoba Fenwu jumped up and down and almost turned into a monkey." Zhang Yunsheng laughed.
There was a roar of laughter in the meeting hall.
Everyone was fighting against the Song Army on the southern front, so there was naturally a comparison between them.
Li Yi was a personal guard of Xiao Ding, and Tuoba Fenwu was the younger brother of Tuoba Yangwei. In contrast, the origin of Zhang Yunsheng from Luowucheng was the most difficult to figure out. People from these families gathered together, and the other two families
