Chapter 511 Zhao Gou's Throne Defense Battle
What is joy and sorrow?

Zhang Jun vividly interprets this idiom.

Because he felt that his ideals had hope to be realized again, this old minister who had been fighting all his life was so happy, and the speed of his journey was so fast that although he arrived in Lin'an early, he fell ill due to the exhaustion of traveling.

After arriving in Lin'an, before seeing the emperor, he first saw the imperial doctor in the imperial hospital.

Zhao Gou was speechless when he learned that Zhang Jun was ill.

He recalled the fact that Zhang Jun's blind operations led to the loss of [-] soldiers in the Huaixi Army. He recalled that he had said indignantly that he would rather subjugate the country than Zhang Jun, and then think about the current situation and the appearance of the important officials of the court. , can only sigh helplessly.

Although Zhang Jun is not so reliable, he has the courage, he is tough, he dares to do things that ordinary people dare not do. When the main force of the Jin army is heading south, only Zhang Jun dares to go upstream and share his worries.

Ugh……

In desperation, Zhao Gou could only dispatch the imperial physician in the palace to heal him immediately.

After various treatments, Zhang Jun recovered on the [-]th day of the first lunar month and was summoned by Zhao Gou alone.

In the end, he was full of energy and had a strong will to fight. On the eighth and ninth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Jun's illness had recovered and he could get up.

Therefore, Zhao Gou asked the Privy Council in advance to show Zhang Jun the news of the war between the Northern Liberation Army and the Jin Army and all the information collected over the past year to prepare for his countermeasures.

Zhang Jun watched it for a few days, read all the materials currently available in the Southern Song Dynasty, and sorted out some clues. When he entered the palace on the thirteenth day of the first month, Zhang Jun talked about Zhao Gou's inquiry.

"The current situation in the north can be said to be dangerous and dangerous. The gold master has nearly 50 troops going south, while the Guangfu army has only 30 to [-] troops. They are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. Moreover, the terrain in Hebei and Shandong is flat and there is no danger to defend. Galloping vertically and horizontally is extremely detrimental to the recovery army."

Zhang Jun stroked his beard and sighed again and again.

Zhao Gou's heart tightened.

"Deyuan, do you mean that the Restoration Army will be defeated? Will Shandong and Hebei be retaken by the gold masters again?"

Zhang Jun sighed.

"The old minister can only say that it is very possible. The Jin army has a great advantage in the cavalry. The old minister read the document sent by the Privy Council, which mentioned that the Restoration Army had defeated the Jin army cavalry several times, but the old minister thought it was all a example, is not sufficient."

"But the Restoration Army has developed all the way to this day and has captured Hebei and Shandong, so it won't be so fragile, will it?"

Zhao Gou asked cautiously.

Zhang Jun shook his head.

"According to the documents provided by the Privy Council, the local garrison of the Jin Army was defeated by the Liberation Army along the way, and it is hard to say how much fighting strength there is, so the Liberation Army has been fighting and winning.

However, when the gold lord went south, he was led by absolute elites, as well as the main iron cavalry. Facing those absolute elites, how long the Restoration Army could hold on was a question. "

Zhao Gou lowered his head in silence for a while, and finally asked a little unwillingly: "Then if the recovery army is defeated, will the gold master's 50 army stop here, or..."

Zhao Gou began to ask the questions that he cared most about.

And Zhang Jun also knew this.

He began to express his opinion.

"Your Majesty may not want to listen, but the old minister has to say that if the Guangfu Army is defeated, the gold lord will definitely not stop there.

Zhang Jun's blunt words frightened Zhao Gou's fragile little heart.

"Deyuan, are you so sure?"

"determine."

Zhang Jun opened his mouth and said: "The Privy Council also learned that the gold master is sending people to repair Kaifeng and expand the palace. What does this mean? Your Majesty should be very clear, this means that the gold master is ready to move the capital south to Kaifeng, and he did so. Why? Invasion from the South!"

Zhang Jun's speech was so direct, without any twists and turns, and the knife saw blood.

Zhao Gou took a deep breath and swallowed.

"Is there no room for turning this matter around?"

"A 50-strong army goes south, turning around? That's going to hurt your muscles and bones. The owner of the fund is ambitious and has great ambitions. The 50-strong army can be counted as the power of the whole country, and the power of the whole country is just to deal with the mere recovery of Shandong and Hebei. The army? The person who is drawing must be the Great Song Dynasty!"

Zhang Jun said resolutely: "The old minister dared to ask Your Majesty to immediately prepare for battle, guard against the borders, and keep informed of the movement of the Jin army, in case of emergency, otherwise once the Jin army goes south, if the Song Dynasty is not prepared at all, it will be broken. "

Zhao Gou was flustered, and after thinking for a while, he said in a low voice: "The Privy Council has already arranged for the war preparations in Haozhou, Anfeng Army, Gwangju and Xinyang Army."

"not enough!"

Zhang Jun said: "If the Jin Lord made up his mind to attack the Song Dynasty in the south, he would definitely attack in three ways. Lianghuai would be the first, Jingchu would be the second, and Chuanshu would be the third! The Song Dynasty must be prepared for three lines of battle, guarding against the dead. It is necessary to Take the initiative to attack, so as to repel the Jin Army!"

"Jingchu? Chuanshu?"

Zhao Gou was a little surprised: "Could it be that the gold master wants to completely annex my Song Dynasty?"

"Probably!"

Zhang Jun never hesitated to speculate on the state of Jin with the greatest malice, so he opened his mouth and said: "Old minister has heard that the master of gold has always been arrogant, a arrogant person, he must leave no room for affairs, and he must use his troops to attack all the way. combat readiness."

Zhao Gou felt very uneasy.

"Then isn't this a full-scale national war?"

"It's a national war!"

Zhang Jun nodded and said, "Your Majesty must be prepared. Once the gold lord goes to war, he will not give up until his goal is achieved. If Song does not resolutely fight back, he will be in danger of subjugation!"

The danger of subjugation.

These four words greatly stimulated Zhao Gou.

He just wanted to be a stable emperor and the emperor of Taiping, he just wanted to enjoy life in peace and stability, and he didn't want to have any war or turmoil with the Jin Kingdom. For this reason, he did not hesitate to kill Yue Fei in exchange for absolute safety.

He can be a son, he can call his father, he can kneel in front of Wanyanliang as a subject and pay tribute. As long as he is still the emperor behind closed doors, he can still enjoy the glory and wealth, then how much suffering the people suffer and how helpless the officials of the Northern Expedition are. , he doesn't care at all.

But Wanyanliang couldn't let him not be the emperor.

Only he can let himself not be the emperor, if he doesn't want to, others can't force him.

If Wanyanliang didn't let him become emperor, even if he couldn't take the initiative to raise his head, he would have to forcibly raise his head once with his hands to fight a war to defend the throne.

Wanyanliang can ride on his head to urinate, but he can't defecate.

"Deyuan, do you think that with the current situation, if the gold master goes south to attack the Great Song Dynasty, and an army of 50 is overwhelming, can the Great Song Dynasty win?"

Zhao Gou asked Zhang Jun with a contradictory attitude of anxiety and expectation.

Zhang Jun smiled slightly, thinking that I will wait for you to ask me!
I'm good at this!

So Zhang Jun put aside the memory of Fuping's defeat and the Huaixi military change, and spoke slowly.

"If this war starts, although it is dangerous, it may not be without a chance of victory. Your Majesty, the old minister would like to ask Your Majesty, why does the gold lord want to go south?"

"Why?"

Zhao Gou was stunned and said, "Of course it's to suppress the rebellion, why did he go south if not?"

"No, Your Majesty, the gold lord was forced to go south."

Zhang Jun shook his head.

Zhao Gou was a little surprised.

"Forced to go south?"

"Yes, forced to go south."

Zhang Jun stroked his beard and said slowly: "Although the old minister has lived idle for these years, he often hears about some things about the Jin Kingdom, such as which royal relatives the gold master has killed. After listening to it for so many years, the old minister can be considered to understand. Now, the gold master Wanyanliang, this position is not stable now."

Zhao Gou was startled, then calmed down and said, "This... I can't say no, but the gold master is also an overlord, how could he be forced to go south?"

"The more tyrannical he is and the more murders he kills, the more he needs the support of power. The Jin Kingdom is a country of barbarians. It does not know the rules of etiquette, and it is not a country of etiquette. It is common to replace the emperor.

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "So, the more the gold lord kills, the more military exploits he needs. The more he needs military exploits, the more he will take the initiative to attack other countries, in exchange for prestige, increase his power, and secure his throne, okay? Continue to be king.

At this time, any slightest domestic war will bring a huge threat to the gold lord. If the first battle is not won, the power will be weaker by one point. If the second world war is lost, the power will be weaker by five points. , This emperor, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it. "

Zhang Jun said this, Zhao Gou listened, and the more he listened, the more he felt that what he said made sense, and that from an emperor's point of view, it was indeed the same...

Ugh?Is this old guy referring to Sang and scolding Huai?
Zhao Gou suddenly noticed a strange point of beauty.

But he looked at Zhang Jun's smug expression again, still shook his head, remembering Zhang Jun's upright personality, and felt that what he said should have no meaning beyond words, just literally.

For now, let's put up with him for now.

Zhao Gou didn't have any seizures and continued to question him.

"So you mean that the gold lord was forced to go south. If he was forced, he would definitely make mistakes?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

A big gift from Zhang Jun made Zhao Gou feel a lot more comfortable.

"So that's the case. Speaking of it this way, even though the gold master used 50 troops to go south, maybe my Great Song Dynasty has no way to deal with it?"

"Naturally!"

Zhang Jun nodded and said: "Although the gold lord has many soldiers and generals, he has a lot of strength, but there are many people, and the food will be consumed a lot.

If the army moves south, the rear will be empty. If there are any other Khitan people in the rear, it will be like a bolt from the blue for the gold master. Can he still fight with peace of mind?
So as long as His Majesty actively prepares for war, inspects the border, recruits military intelligence, and appoints virtuous people, then if this battle really starts, my Song Dynasty will definitely win the final victory! "

Zhao Gou was moved by what Zhang Jun said, and became a little ambitious, patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder, and said that he would definitely study it and give Zhang Jun a position that could take charge of this war, so that Zhang Jun could strategize, A victory for Da Song.

Zhang Jun was overjoyed, thanked him immediately, and left the palace.

In Zhao Gou's palace, there was never anything private that could be "hidden".

After a while, the content of the conversation between Zhao Gou and Zhang Jun spread, and some people began to spread news related to it.

For example, Zhao Gou and Zhang Jun had a very happy talk. They wanted to reuse Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun was favored again. He was about to become a prime minister or a minister of political affairs, or a privy envoy, or even a real important power such as Pingzhang's military affairs. Position.

A thousand words are just one sentence.

Zhang Jun is back.

When the news came out, some people were happy and some were worried, and there were few people who were happy and many people who were worried.
