Chapter 340

"Will Li Chongxian be a trouble?"

"Alas! How can the world be satisfactory? He can be said to be iron hearted about our Kyushu business. It's a big deal that I will tolerate three points everywhere and won't rob him of power. He can't always target me endlessly?"

"This man is extremely stubborn. I'm afraid it's not so easy to deal with!"

"If it's really endless and annoys me, I'll calculate the new and old accounts together. I'll kill him!"

In Zhang Zhou's eyes, Li Chongxian was born to blacken himself. He didn't know how many small reports he had made behind his back. It is estimated that he provided at least three or five counts in Zhao Qianyuan's book case!

There are many people in the dark, but they really dare to jump out and shout on the table. Now there are really few left! Li Chongxian, who has never met, is really a wonderful flower!

Li Chongxian was transferred to Lijian pass as the chief General. He didn't expect it, and he was also a part-time deputy general! This time, the border army was replaced at once. Two senior generals guarding the pass did not say, and two more deputy generals with greater authority were added to the backhand! Although not transferred from Zhang Shuhe, the meaning of decentralization is obvious.

"My husband, now most of our family has been transferred to Qinzhou. I'm really angry, but I'll resign my official position. It's good for my family to go to Qinzhou. Since we don't have nowhere to go, don't use righteousness!"

Zhang Zhou smiled and nodded. He had an accident twice and again. Each time he scared Guan Yuniang half to death. He was an official. He was really sorry for his family!

"Don't worry, I promise I won't be so reckless. By the way, the Queen's business has a great blow to Uncle Fuxiang. Be sure to take good care of him!"

"Don't worry! I'll take care of it!"

"Also, although I calmed Li Chuqiao temporarily, I must strictly supervise her and never let her leave Hezhou!"

"I understand!"

"I went to jubeiguan. Everything at home will be hard for you!"

"Now a lot of management is in order. I don't need to work too hard!"

"It's hard, otherwise, how can you be so thin?"

Guan Yuniang obviously didn't understand his intention and thought she wasn't thin! On the contrary, I've gained a little weight these days. In order to keep fit, I have to practice the art of keeping fit every day.

When she didn't understand the reason, Zhang Zhou had put her in her arms and put her on her legs. Then she grabbed her hand impatiently, rubbed it and said hypocritically: "look, dare you say you're not thin? I'm so distressed that my husband can rub it for you!"

Guan Yuniang hugged his head tightly and let him be frivolous and presumptuous!

……

Zhang Shuhe met this time and went out of the barracks for ten miles! The two met at once, feeling a little sad.

Zhang Shu and the whole person have lost a lot of weight, and their spirit is not as energetic as before. Obviously, their life is not comfortable.

The two people didn't have the polite greetings on the scene, and neither of them dismounted. They were just simple, but they solemnly hugged each other.

"General, you've worked hard!"

Zhang Shuhe nodded. He is really hard now! At the beginning, Huan bin supervised the army in the border army. Although he did some tricks to cover up the action in Kyoto, the constraints on him really existed, which also aroused Zhang Shuhe's dissatisfaction. Since then, Zhang Shuhe's dominant position in the border army began to "shake in the wind and rain". The news that the chaotang side wanted to transfer him from him almost never stopped.

Now confidants Ning Jingzhi and Meng Kuo have been transferred away and promoted to official positions, which is a good thing. But they are both part-time Deputy generals of the whole border army, which is obvious. How can his body and mind not work hard?

"The Marquis has matured a lot!"

Zhang Zhou touched the stubble on his chin and smiled.

"The years are not long, but there are many vicissitudes. It's not good to be immature!"

"It's cold. Let's go back to camp first!"

"It would be better if there were wine to keep warm in the camp!"

Zhang Shuhe was very strict with the military orders, and the military camp was severely punished for drinking. Zhang Zhou was just joking, but he didn't expect Zhang Shuhe to nod with a smile.

"I dare not say the best, but the best Hezhou lie still has two jars. It can be said that he will receive the wind for the Marquis!"

……

Two people ride in parallel, while others automatically make way for some distance.

"I know the general is very difficult, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult!" after listening to Zhang Shuhe's story, Zhang Zhou couldn't help sighing.

"Sometimes, I really want to be transferred back to Kyoto and do a casual job, but now I can't decide whether to go or stay!"

The fate of Zhang Shuhe ultimately depends on the emperor's decision. Zhang Zhou is not good to make arbitrary comments, but there are still some attitudes that should be expressed.

"General, I dare not say anything else, but my support for you will never change!"

Compared with Zhang Zhou, Zhang Shu and Zhang Zhou are completely changing. One is declining and the other is booming. Zhang Shu and Zhang Zhou are very grateful for their attitude!

"No matter how long I can sit in this position, I will guard the border for Datang and take full care of Kyushu business!"

I can't see the slightest ambition in my words!

"General, don't be too negative. The border army can't live without you. I believe chaotang will understand this sooner or later!"

"Understanding the truth doesn't mean you will follow the truth! Politics is really something that we martial arts people can't understand!"

How could Zhang Zhou not understand this? Two generations of people, even if you can't be familiar with history, you still have some understanding! Since ancient times, how many brave generals and marshals have succeeded in the bloody battlefield, but they are confused about the struggle between the court and the court.

Both men were silent.

Zhang Zhou looked at the snow capped scenery in the frontier. For a time, his mood was agitated and blocked.

Zhang Shuhe also stopped talking, looked up and didn't know what to think.

Suddenly, he was startled by the song around him. Turning his head, he saw that Zhang Zhou was singing a song he had never heard before.

"I was furious and rested in the rain at the railing. I looked up and roared up to the sky. I was strong and fierce. Thirty achievements, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon. Don't take it easy. I'm white and sad!"

Zhang Zhou was also inspired by the scenery. He thought of Yue Fei in his previous life. He was so excited that he couldn't help singing this Luowen version of man Jianghong!

But after only half a que, he stopped. Excited, he didn't think too much. Where did the snow come from?

However, this strong and fierce melody and word style makes those around ignore the details, especially those border troops who want to make achievements in the killing and cutting and change their lives, which is an involuntary feeling!

"Is this what you created?"

Zhang Zhou was well deserved for such plagiarism, nodded and said, "I was excited for a moment and sang it casually!"

"Why do you have a sense of meaning?" Zhang Shuhe said his real thoughts.

"Because the words behind have not been thought out!"

"Can you bother? I really want to hear this song!"

At Zhang Shuhe's earnest request, Zhang Zhou thought about it and nodded. The reason why he stopped earlier was that the words behind him were a little sensitive, but if he didn't sing completely, he was really sorry for this famous poem through the ages!

"Lin Xi's shame is still not snow. When will the officials' hatred be destroyed? Drive a long car and step through the lack of North Yanshan mountain. The ambition is hungry to eat the captive meat, laugh and drink the enemy's blood. To expand the border and strengthen the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles, facing the sky!"

Those border troops, one by one, could not help humming, while Zhang Shuhe sighed and burst into tears.

……

Zhang Zhou's impression of refusing Beiguan has only one word to describe it, that is majestic!

Jubeiguan is located in the northernmost part of the territory that the Tang Dynasty can actually master. It is like a sharp knife inserted into the chest of Beiyan. In terms of strategic position, it is definitely a thorn in the eye and flesh of Beiyan! If Beiyan goes to war with Datang, Beiguan is the first strategic place to win!

As long as Beiguan is rejected, Beiyan can take this as the basis and occupy the initiative of "advancing and retreating"!

When Datang lost its rejection of Beiguan, the whole border defense system of Longzhou was torn in half, and was in an uncomfortable situation of "no entry, no retreat"!

Because of this "prominence", both sides pay special attention to it. During the 20-year truce, the Empire invested a lot of money in the urban defense construction of refusing Beiguan every year, and never owed or delayed!

In addition to the continuous border and urban defense system, jubeiguan itself is a square and upright city! The total length of the four main cities is about six or seven miles. The lowest part of the city wall is five feet high. In particular, the three main city walls facing Beiyan are generally seven feet high. Moreover, the thickness of the city wall, various supporting buildings, auxiliary facilities and urban defense equipment are definitely better than the Forbidden City of Kyoto.

Just say that there are a few Shenji crossbows in the Forbidden City of Kyoto. There are no less than 100 on the head of the city that refuses Beiguan! All kinds of catapults are also available!

If you ask, where is the strongest flavor of war in Longzhou? You must refuse Beiguan! In particular, those border troops responsible for guarding and patrolling the city give people the feeling that the enemy seems to be under the city.

Zhang Zhou, who boarded the city and made a simple inspection, had only one idea. Unless there was something wrong in his mind, no one would take the initiative to attack and refuse Beiguan! How many people have to die to fill the hole!

"General Meng has built an iron and steel wall to resist Beiguan. It's really not simple. It can be said to have made outstanding contributions!"

Although Zhang Zhou was not familiar with mengkuo, he had to praise mengkuo just because he could make all aspects of jubeiguan look like this.

"Since joining the army, general Meng has stayed here to resist Beiguan until he became the chief General of guarding the pass. It has been almost 30 years now, and he has hardly left here! If among the generals in Longzhou, who is the most diligent and responsible, general Meng is definitely the first, and even General Zhang is ashamed of himself!" Yang Kui said.

"We just passed by in a hurry last time and didn't see the spectacular scene. I was worried before I came here, but I was completely reassured when I saw the specific situation today! Brother Yang, to be honest, I now feel that although Beiguan is the safest place in Longzhou!"

Yang Kui smiled.

"The Marquis saw such a magnificent and perfect city defense, so he had this idea?"

"That's true, isn't it?"

Yang Kui had a deep understanding of Longzhou's border defense.

"Although the geographical position of jubeiguan is too prominent, compared with other passes, it extends more than 40 miles north. The area behind it seems to be our territory. In fact, it is not. Once a war is launched, Beiyan army will attack the rear of jubeiguan from both sides, surround jubeiguan, and turn jubeiguan into an isolated city. Although the urban defense is thicker and taller than it was 20 years ago Less, but always the most dangerous! "

At this time, there was a cavalry team of more than 100 people outside the city. They came quickly! It can be clearly distinguished from the clothes. There is no doubt that it is a border army.

Yang Kui pointed to those people and continued to say to Zhang Zhou, "you see, marquis! These people are our Rangers. They often make three or five rounds and sometimes one or two rounds. Unless the weather is bad, they will never stop going out of the city to explore!"

Rangers are the people who are responsible for going out to investigate the enemy's situation. Zhang Zhou has also heard about them. These Rangers have a high probability of meeting the enemy, so they have both the task of patrol and the purpose of training!

Sometimes, even if the two sides are far away, there will be no contact, but more often, they will fight without scruples and try their best to kill the enemy in exchange for war achievements!

According to previous war reports, it's good that half of a ranger can come back when it's serious, and the whole army has been destroyed.

The two sides also have one thing in common, that is, no one will keep prisoners. Of course, it can also be said that it is difficult to catch prisoners. Take the border army for example. A school captain leads a cavalry army, encounters the enemy and dies ten people. Even if the leader makes some mistakes in command, he will not be punished, but if he is captured by the other party, he will be severely punished!

Many times the result of heavy personnel losses is to save the captured paoze!

It is this cruel experience of killing and cutting that has created the soldiers who refuse Beiguan. Their combat ability, team spirit and sensitivity are far better than other border forces!

"We want to take this opportunity to train our troops, and Beiyan is the same. Especially in recent days, this purpose has become more and more obvious, and the troops invested are more than before! The chaotang really shouldn't transfer general Meng away at this time!" Yang Kui and Zhang Zhou are familiar, and they don't have much taboo.

Zhang Zhou learned from the intelligence that Beiyan had indeed started the discussion on the attack of Datang for a long time, but for various reasons, there was no specific plan for subordinates or any large-scale action. War is not a trifle. It must be prepared for a long time. It can be inferred that Beiyan will not launch a large-scale attack in the short term.
