Chapter 586 Zhang Yuejing's Punishment
Zhang Yuejing guessed right. At this moment, Zhang Zhongyan was indeed frightened, very sensitive, and looked a bit frightened.

He even secretly mobilized the Guards to his side, preparing to resist immediately if the Restoration Army wanted to ask a guilt or do something bad.

Although I can't guarantee anything, at least I have to save my life and ensure that I can run away.

He had never heard of the strict military discipline of the Liberation Army, and thought that the Liberation Army was similar to his own army, but with more "strict military discipline".

But after witnessing it with his own eyes, he found that the Guangfu Army was not only strict in military discipline, but even had the demeanor of the Yue Family Army.

So he burned, killed, looted and looted along the way. After the refugees appeared in Chang'an City, he heard some voices of dissatisfaction with him in the Restoration Army.

What Zhang Zhongyan did is a heinous crime and needs to be dealt with.

What Zhang Zhongyan's military discipline is corrupted, it needs to be severely punished, and it must not be easily let go.

It was all moderate, and even some offensive remarks were more radical and offensive, which made him feel uneasy.

The Restoration Army was strong and powerful. This was what he saw in his eyes. The elites of the Jin Army were no match for it. Once they fought the Restoration Army, they were immediately defeated, and there was no elite demeanor at all.

The elite is still like this, just relying on the smelly fish and rotten shrimp in his hands, he is a good hand at bullying the people, and he must kneel [-]% in battle.

If the Restoration Army decides to incriminate him for this, to his detriment, he has little hope of successfully resisting.

At that time, it is estimated that the only option is to escape.

So he gathered the elite army of his personal guard and handed it over to his two sons, ready to run away at any time.

But unexpectedly, the two sons came to report, saying that the commander of the army, Zhang Yuejing, brought two guards to his barracks and wanted to discuss matters with him.

Two guards?

Zhang Yuejing came in person?
Zhang Zhongyan was a little frightened, but he felt it was very strange. After thinking about it, he decided to take a gamble and went out to meet Zhang Yuejing in person.

No matter what Zhang Yuejing is going to do, Zhang Zhongyan feels that he is prepared in advance to ensure that his old life is not lost.

As for the rest...

Just leave it to your fate!
But after seeing Zhang Yuejing, Zhang Zhongyan found that Zhang Yuejing's expression was very bad, and when he saw him, he said "General Zhang, you did a good job! 】

For some reason, Zhang Yuejing scolded him when he came up, but made him feel relaxed.

"Commander Zhang, this..."

Zhang Yuejing waved his hand to interrupt him.

"What's the matter with so many refugees? Why don't you restrict military discipline during the march? Now that the trouble is so big, and so many people are dissatisfied with you, what do you want me to do? How do you want my subordinates to treat me? How do you treat you?"

Zhang Yuejing scolded Zhang Zhongyan and scolded Zhang Zhongyan with blood.

"Commander Zhang, there is a reason for this!"

Zhang Zhongyan suddenly no longer felt panic, he couldn't help but eagerly hope to explain.

Zhang Yuejing stood in front of him with his arms crossed with a bad expression on his face, listening to his explanation.

"You said."

Zhang Zhongyan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately began to make up...state his previous experience.

"Before, due to the lack of troops, Tudan Hexi authorized me to sign local strong men to join the army, thinking about increasing the strength to fight against the army and fighting the beasts, but he gave me an order, but he did not give me enough military expenses. The army was formed, and the military expenses Gone.

I asked him over and over again for military expenses, but he asked me to pay for the military expenses for the time being in Fengxiang Mansion. However, Fengxiang Mansion has always been poor, and its finances have never been rich. How can I have money to pay for military expenses?
He doesn't care, he wants an army, and he doesn't pay for it, so he is about to tell me that I will loot with troops. When I am in a dilemma, you lead the army into the pass, and you want me to lead the army to rendezvous. How could I go against your rules? What about commands?
So I took my head and led the soldiers on the road. After the road, the army really made trouble because there was no military pay and insufficient food. I had no choice but to let the soldiers get food on the spot.

You also know how terrifying the army is without food and salaries. A little carelessness will lead to mutiny. When I die in the chaos of the army, it will be a small matter, but the overall situation of Commander Zhang and the Restoration Army will be damaged. How can I dare to delay a major event? "

He poured out the reasons that had been organized a long time ago, and Zhang Yuejing was taken aback for a while.

Good guy, people say that people are old and mature, this is not a lie, he will pick himself out and become an innocent sheep, only Dan Hexi and Zhang Yuejing are the culprits, he is not wrong at all, It's someone else's fault.

This eloquence, not to be an official is a huge loss to the country.

Zhang Yuejing had no choice but to admire his ability to speak madly. He also saw how these old official fritters spoke and acted, and accumulated some relevant experience.

But things won't go away.

Zhang Yuejing could only hold back the anger in his heart and put on a frowning expression.

"Tudan Hexi doesn't give you military money?"

"A long time ago, military expenditures in various places were not paid in full, and it was useless to submit the table to the imperial court. Anyway, the imperial court and the local governments just pushed each other away from responsibility. buckle.

Frequently, it asks [-] to [-], and [-] to [-]. Even if the money is allocated, it will be exploited from top to bottom, the upper officials will take the big head, and the subordinates will take the small head, and it will fall into the hands of us leading soldiers. There's only a little left, which is really helpless. "

Zhang Zhongyan sighed again and again, as if he was the honest person who was bullied and had nothing to do, and everyone else was bad.

Zhang Yuejing knew it well, but he did not expose him.

"It actually got to this point?"

"If there is a false statement, the sky will be struck by thunder."

Zhang Zhongyan raised his hand to swear.

This is definitely not a lie. He Zhang Zhongyan is of course not a good bird, but the court is even worse, and he wants the horse to run without letting the horse get full, and expects the horse to become a perpetual motion machine and can run without eating or sleeping. fast.

Pooh!Go do their spring and autumn daydreams!Grandpa is not waiting!

Zhang Zhongyan watched Zhang Yuejing fall into contemplation, the anger on his face gradually subsided, he was very fortunate, and his heart was greatly relaxed.

He felt that he had passed this hurdle, and it seemed that Zhang Yuejing had no plans to do anything to himself from the beginning, but was just angry and came over to scold him.

Just scolding a few words. Over the years, this old face has become thicker and thicker. The most fearful thing is Shangguan's scolding - Shangguan is willing to scold, it means that he has not given up on you. If you come here with a smile on your face, Instead, Zhang Zhongyan was about to run away immediately.

Now it seems that this should not be the case.

I saw Zhang Yuejing think for a long time, finally sighed, looked at Zhang Zhongyan's barracks, and shook his head helplessly.

"If that's the case, you can't blame all this on you, but you can't just pretend it never happened, otherwise the army's complaints against you won't be pacified, General Zhang, you should be able to understand, right? ?"

"Naturally, if you did something wrong, please ask the commander to punish you."

Zhang Zhongyan bowed his head and admitted his mistake, with a good attitude.

Zhang Yue nodded, and fined Zhang Zhongyan 50 yuan and [-] catties of grain, and reduced his troops.

"I will use military rations to appease the refugees and the people of Chang'an. Those who are willing to stay in Chang'an City will be placed in Chang'an City, and those who are willing to return to their hometowns will also be arranged to return to their hometowns. During this time, you will inspect your army and keep your body strong. The strong stay, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are all expelled, and they are sent back to their hometowns together with the refugees.

The 50 yuan and [-] catties of grain are just a hair on the body of a local wealthy family like Zhang Zhongyan. It is not a serious punishment at all, but a symbolic warning.

It's just that reducing the number of troops makes him a little concerned.

However, Zhang Yuejing's request was reasonable, and he couldn't protest. After thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed.

"The last will obey."

"Well, that's it, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yuejing got on his horse and left Zhang Zhongyan's barracks, coming and going in a hurry.

Looking at the back of Zhang Yuejing's departure, Zhang Zhongyan's eldest son Zhang Fu stepped forward and said, "Father, what do you mean by Zhang Yuejing? Do you want to use this to reduce your father's military power, or to show it to others?"
