Prime Minister

Chapter 776
In Dangchang village.

Wang Shao and Wang Junwan were having a drink, and there were five or six beautiful Han women around them to persuade them to drink.

In the center, there are healthy soldiers in the army dancing swords and dancing, thinking that the two of them are drinking to cheer up.

Wang Shao is now trapped in Dangchang Village, and has not yet been defeated after attacking for a month.

The land under his feet was originally owned by Dangchang Kingdom.The Dangchang Kingdom was established by the ancient Qiang people during the Jin Dynasty, with a area of ​​thousands of miles and a population of less than [-]. It was conquered and destroyed during the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

The local Dangchang Qiang, the Dengzhi Qiang in Jiezhou, and the Bailan Qiang in Taozhou are all a branch of the Qingtang and Tibetan tribes. They have been practicing Tubo customs for a long time. Although these three tribes are not under Muzheng, they are also the location of a tribal alliance.

After Mu Zheng and Dong Zhan made a comeback, the three Qiang tribes rebelled, making it impossible for Wang Shao and Wang Junwan's Xihe main force to escape.

Wang Shao also wants to fight, but the problem is that he is not familiar with people, and there are mountains blocking it, so it is very inconvenient for a large army to attack.

The Song army was not defeated but fell into the vast ocean of the people's war. The mountains and mountains in Minzhou made it impossible for the Song army to transfer out for a while.

At the same time, the envoy of Xihe Road, which Wang Shao placed high hopes on, failed, which made him feel very unhappy.

"Report! Our army was ambushed ten miles away from the front battalion, and 50 people were lost!"

Wang Shao smashed the wine bowl and said, "What are you eating?"

Wang Junwan said: "Deputy Marshal, please calm down!"

After Wang Junwan finished speaking, he asked Nu Letong to continue.

Wang Shao sipped his wine and said: "It's really hateful, now this Minzhou is so tasteless that it can't swallow it, and it can't retreat."

Wang Junwan said: "Deputy Marshal, now that our army is trapped here, it is better to save Hezhou for the time being, so as to have an explanation to the imperial court."

Wang Shao said: "I don't know? But Zhang... Zhang Longtu has a life, so my army must not abandon Minzhou!"

Wang Junwan said: "What, Zhang Longtu's letter has arrived?"

Wang Shao said: "Yes, I don't quite understand the words in his letter."

Wang Junwandao: "The deputy commander is worried...he will make things difficult for you when he takes office. This time, he has the right to dismiss all the officials in this way!"

Wang Shao stretched out his hand and said, "Are you worried that he will dismiss me? What am I afraid of? I built a village in Guwei back then, and now it is like this in Xihe. Who would dare to dismiss me for such a great contribution?"

"This general of Xihe, Commander Fan, who doesn't know my name, Wang Shao, dares to dismiss me? Leave me alone, can the army's morale not be disturbed?"

Wang Junwan said: "The deputy commander is right. If Zhang Longtu wants to convince people's hearts, he must be justified."

Wang Shao nodded and said: "That's right. Let's see if one of the scholars in Zhangdu can control the [-] troops on Xihe Road and Qinfeng Road. Is it possible to suppress it without me helping him?"

"Besides, it's not that I look down on him. What kind of military strategy and general talent does he have? This state of Xizhou, Hezhou, Huizhou, Minzhou was not shot down by me, Wang Shao, with arrows. Let him try to lead the soldiers. ? At most one commander is enough to keep him busy."

Wang Junwan also nodded when he heard Wang Shao's words. That's right. Although Zhang Yue has the trust of the officials, and has a father-in-law who is a deputy envoy of the Privy Council and has a deep foundation in the court, his biggest shortcoming is that he can't fight.

So when he was in Xihe, he had to rely on Wang Shao for everything, and now he worshiped the general in Xihe again, so he had to rely on Wang Shao.

Wang Shao also looked at this point, so he was confident.

At this time, it was reported that Zhang Yue had already arrived outside Dangchang village, and Wang Shao and Wang Junwan were invited to leave the village to see him.

Wang Junwan was taken aback when he heard the words and said to Wang Shao, "Isn't Zhang Longtu arriving tomorrow?"

Wang Shaodao: "I really can't figure out the intention of the other party's visit here. If he is angry with me, but the letter is written politely."

"Then why didn't he enter the village, but asked the two of us to go out to see him?" Wang Junwan asked.

Wang Shao said: "It's just putting on airs, forgive him and he doesn't have the guts to do anything to us."

Zhang Yue is the coach, of course he has the right to meet Wang Shao and Wang Junwan on any occasion.

Immediately, Wang Shao and Wang Junwan ordered hundreds of cavalry to open the gate of the village and went to see Zhang Yue.

But seeing soldiers and horses stationed in front of them, the two asked and found out that the Japanese army, one of the upper fourth armies, was stationed here.

Wang Shao, Wang Junwan didn't know that the emperor actually allocated all the Japanese troops to Zhang Yue.

Wang Shao and Wang Junwan were stopped outside the camp. Wang Junwan said angrily, "Do you know who we are? Why did you stop us when you came to see the commander?"

But the general of the imperial army outside the camp said lazily: "I know, but the Chinese army has its own majesty. You two can dismount and walk in, and the others are outside the camp."

Wang Shao and Wang Junwan looked at each other, and they had no choice but to do so at the moment.

When the two came to the big tent, they saw Zhang Yue's personal companion Tang Jiu pressing the knife here.

Wang Shao and Tang Jiu, who were acquainted with each other, approached with a smile and said, "Brother Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Tang Jiu nodded slightly and said: "The commander-in-chief is inside, Deputy Wang Jinglue is waiting here first, and General Wang will follow me in."

Wang Shao froze when he heard the words, his official position was higher than Wang Junwan, there was no reason for him to wait outside to meet Wang Junwan first.

Wang Shao's face was very ugly, but at the moment he could only hold his breath and say: "Yes!"

Immediately, Wang Junwan followed Tang Jiu into the Chinese army tent.

But at the moment Zhang Yue was reading a book and saw Wang Junwan also politely invited him to sit down. Wang Junwan said he didn't dare to ask: "I don't know what can the commander-in-chief ask the general to come here alone? What can't be said after entering the village?" ?”

Zhang Yue said indifferently: "I told you to come here and I have something to say!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yue took a few letters from the case and handed them to Wang Junwandao: "Look at it first."

Wang Junwan's face turned pale when he saw it. These letters were all to report and impeach Wang Junwan's illegal activities when he was stationed in Xihe these years. Just greed for military supplies and looting are enough to kill Wang Junwan.

"This is nonsense, Wang did not do these things at all."

Wang Junwan argued with a pale face.

Zhang Yue smiled and immediately took another letter to Wang Junwan and said, "Look at this letter again, I wrote it on the way here yesterday."

Wang Junwan read the Zhazi but saw that it was Zhang Yue summarizing his achievements in Xihe in the past few years, listing each one in detail, some Wang Junwan didn't remember, but Zhang Yue remembered clearly.

Wang Junwan read the letter of impeachment and the letter and immediately understood what Zhang Yue meant.

Wang Junwan clasped his fists and said: "Thank you for your cultivation, Marshal, but Mr. Wang has received the great kindness and virtue of Deputy Marshal Wang, and he would rather die than bear him. If the Marshal really wants to kill XX for this crime, XX has nothing to say." explain."

Zhang Yue looked at Wang Junwan and said, "Sure enough, you are a loyal man, but you are a general of the imperial court and not Wang Shao's personal, so you are breaking a taboo, you know?"

Wang Junwan remained silent and did not answer.

Zhang Yue said to Wang Junwan: "Just think about it first."

Immediately two soldiers escorted Wang Junwan down.

At this time Zhang Yue said: "Take Wang Shao."

A moment later, Wang Shao stepped into the tent with big strides, and when he entered the tent, he looked at Zhang Yue relentlessly.
