What Zhang Jun didn't expect was that Zhao Gou didn't blame him, and he didn't even have a frustrated expression on his face, Zhao Gou said confidently: "Lord Zhang came just in time, I heard that many of the troops on the front line fled from the battlefield, I decided to go and call them back in person, you will stay in Bianliang to preside over the battle, I will appoint you to stay in Bianliang, Xie Liang will be reappointed as Yingtianfu to stay behind, I hope you will hold on until I lead the army back." ”

Ah, Zhang Jun was in a trance, and instantly understood, King Kang Zhao Gou was going to escape, but at this moment, Zhang Jun felt two feelings that were completely different from the front line. On the surface, the Song army was defeated in successive battles, but the 20,000 people who retreated to Yingtianfu with Zhang Jun were still so calm and indifferent in their eyes, even if they announced that they would let Zhi Yanwen be responsible and that they were going to come to Bianliang, those soldiers rolled their eyes at most and glanced at him, looking disdainful.

This battle in Shandong made Zhang Jun feel the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Protector Army after its reorganization, and even those troops of Liu Guangshi still burst out with amazing combat effectiveness after being replaced by Zhe Yanwen; if it were not for the enemy's multiplier and his own, Zhang Jun believed that he would not have failed. Zhang Jun suddenly felt that he was the same kind as those people, and Zhao Gou's enthusiasm made Zhang Jun feel like a caterpillar crawling, full of discomfort.

"I understand. The smile on Zhao Gou's face came from the heart, because Zhang Jun's arrival represented one thing, that is, he left Bianliang with peace of mind, which naturally made him happy. If there is anyone under his command who can resolutely defend the city and fight to the last soldier, it is Zhang Jun, and Zhao Gou also understands that as long as the people defending the city are like rocks, with the strength of the city and the grain and grass reserves, the Jin army will not be so easy to succeed.

As long as Bianliang City is not lost, as the person in charge of the front line, Zhao Gou can start operating, and even invite reinforcements from all over the country. Zhao Gou actually disregarded his identity, personally moved a chair over and asked Zhang Jun to sit down and said: "There are too many things that need to be done in Bianliang City now, but this is the third time you have served as a guard, and no one can match your experience in dealing with the enemy or in governance; ”

Zhao Gou's posture was so low that Zhang Jun felt unbearable, so he quickly stood up and bowed down and said, "Don't worry, the prince is here, the minister is in Bianliang, the minister is not in Bianliang." ”

Zhang Jun's meaning is obvious, even if he dies in battle, he still won't throw Bianliang to the Jin people, Zhao Gou, Liang Yangzu, and Kang Lu all laughed. However, compared with Zhao Gou, Liang Yangzu is still a bit reserved as a literati, although he has a smile on his face, he laughs a little awkwardly;

"Then I'll wait for your good news. Zhao Gou said with a smile: "I will only take Liang Yangzu and Du Shiliang with me this time, and it will not affect your manpower in the city." ”

Zhang Jun felt that although he was mentally prepared, he still underestimated the scoundrel level of King Kang in front of him, and he couldn't help but think of the scenes of bloody battles on the battlefield, Zhang Jun deeply doubted, if Zhao Gou really sat on that dragon chair one day, what would become of the Great Song Dynasty? Is it as he always thought, Zhao Gou can do better than Song Huizong.

Zhang Jun felt that he couldn't stay here for a moment, and immediately said: "Listen to the soldiers guarding the city, the Jin army will reach Bianliang City in three days, if the prince really has this plan, we might as well hurry up and act." ”

Liang Yangzu nodded hurriedly, now is really a time not suitable for sensationalism, Liang Yangzu directly skipped the nonsense in his head, and proposed: "Lord Wang, announce it." ”

Zhao Gou convened the ministers to discuss, and without the slightest scruple of opposing opinions, he directly announced his decision; Xie Liang's face changed greatly when he heard this, Bianliang had an army of 200,000 people, and what happened to Ying Tianfu, Zhang Jun only took more than 20,000 people to retreat to Ying Tianfu, plus the original garrison, the total number was less than 50,000. Although Liu Lin and Miao Fu's Qi army lost more than 100,000, plus the Jin army still had 200,000 people, even if they fought separately, the army attacking Ying Tianfu would not be less than 100,000.

Xie Liang came out of the queue and said in an astringent voice: "Back to the prince, the lower officials are feeling cold, and they can't make the trip now, so they will leave after a few days of recuperation." ”

"Good. Zhao Gou agreed very happily, he felt that in front of these people, there was no need to waste time: "Prepare the official document, Zhe Yanwen is the deputy left-behind guard of Ying Tianfu and the Yin of Ying Tianfu, before Lord Xie takes office, he will be fully responsible, and he will be in charge of the army and the people." ”

Zhe Yanwen was originally in charge of the army, and now he is in charge of the civil affairs of Yingtianfu, even if Xie Liang arrives, Xie Liang can only take care of those county towns outside Yingtianfu; everyone understands that Xie Liang is not going to take office, and Zhao Gou has no hope, so no one comes out to help Xie Liang speak.

When Zhang Jun was still handing over the account with Xie Liang and Wang Shu, Zhao Gou left Bianliang City with a team of 2,000 people, Zhao Gou did not forget to report to Hangzhou, and specially asked his henchman eunuch Zeng Zhi to go to Hangzhou to deliver the letter;

Zhao Gou was in a very correct state of mind at this time, explaining all the way forward, Liang Yangzu was like an ant on a hot pot, he naturally knew that there must be a high-ranking official behind this matter, but there was no way; fortunately, after more than an hour, the team finally passed the ten-mile long pavilion, and a group of people did not dare to delay, and accelerated the pace of the march. Liang Yangzu expressed the suspicion in his heart, and Zhao Gou was silent for a moment and said: "Lord Liang, this is not a bad thing, the people who don't want me to leave are all people who really want to hold Bianliang, the more people like this, the more beneficial it will be to the war in Bianliang." You immediately inform Zhang Jun that I will leave the warehouse in the city at his disposal, and if you need to reward the following, don't be stingy. ”

Liang Yangzu's face changed, over the years, Zhao Gou has accumulated a lot of materials, if he throws them all out, in case Zhao Gou has any ideas in the future, he doesn't need to search for them himself; Zhao Gou saw that Liang Yangzu was unwilling, and explained: "Between the future and the property, we must be able to carry it clearly, without these things, it will not make us unable to live; but if we lose the territory of the army, we will also lose our support." You see the Dingbei Army, building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king, Yang Zhi is powerful. ”

Liang Yangzu was silent, his people are tired of living, it's not because of Yang Zhi, the demon, even if Zhao Gou doesn't say much, but every time something happens, he will compare it in his heart.
