Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1238
Guzang is the largest city in Liangzhou and the seat of the state capital of Liangzhou.After four generations of Liang Zhang's management, the whole city is even more majestic, with tens of thousands of households inside and outside.

In addition to the original fortified city, there are still small towns outside Guzang City, just like the Jinyong City in Luoyang or the Stone City in Jiankang, guarded by elite soldiers all year round, guarding the tranquility of this essence of Hexi.

In addition to the small garrison town, there are also many dock walls of various sizes around Guzang City. Some of these dock walls still belong to the reclamation land under the jurisdiction of the state capital, and some belong to various powerful families in the realm, such as The stars guarding Guzang City is also a true portrayal of the current situation in Liangzhou.

Around Guzang City, there are still many large-scale towers and pavilions, and there are large gardens around these palaces without exception.These palaces and gardens were built by the main circles of the past dynasties, and ordinary people should not take it lightly.

In the deep winter, the vegetation in these gardens will inevitably wither, but the pines and cypresses are still green, and it is difficult to fully show the beauty of the gardens.At this moment, there are hundreds of war horses galloping in the garden, and the knights roared to and fro, driving some wild beasts to a towering pavilion in the plain.

The pavilion is surrounded by its own guards, and in the fence above the pavilion is a tall middle-aged man in military uniform. He holds a strong bow and shoots at the frightened and fleeing animals around him. Every prey falls to the ground , there are soldiers around shouting: "Your Highness shoots!"

This middle-aged man is the current leader of Liangzhou, Zhang Jun.Zhang Jun was less than forty years old, he was in the prime of life, although his status was respected and he didn't need to be in charge of the military, but he was skilled in bow and horse, good at fighting, and his heroism was not inferior to that of the army.

It is really not a good time for hunting when the birds and beasts disappear in the cold winter. Although the surrounding soldiers try their best to search for prey, there are really few people who are driven to the vicinity of the pavilion.In addition, the new wind was blowing up, which really affected his performance. After the frequent shots missed, Zhang Jun felt that his business was gradually declining, so he handed the bow to Wu Ben beside him, and then walked down the pavilion slowly.

This piece of garden palace is called Qianguang Hall, which was built by Zhang Jun in the south of Guzang City more than two years ago. There is a main hall in the middle, and another hall on each side, each with the name of spring, summer, autumn and winter.In addition to the extremely gorgeous architecture, the various utensils and furnishings in the palace are also so rare that it is dizzying.

Although Liangzhou is located in the western border of Hexi, it is not inferior to Zhongzhou's richness and beauty when it comes to things, and the variety of categories is even far surpassed.It's just that due to the large-scale use of Henan land last year, it was difficult to maintain large-scale construction in the state, so this palace has not been completed for a long time, and small-scale construction is still maintained.

However, due to the fact that the governor of the state came here to live temporarily a few days ago, there was a lot of noise, so many craftsmen were relocated and construction was suspended.And those messy construction sites are all covered by leather felts and curtains, so as not to disturb people's eyes and ears.

After leaving the hunting platform, Zhang Jun came to the Xuanwu Black Hall of Dongju in the north of Qianguang Hall.In addition to Wu Ben and servants who accompanied him, several officials from the state government had already been waiting here.Seeing the state lord returning to the palace, all the officials greeted him and bowed to him, or called him His Highness, or called him Lord.

Although the Zhang family still worships Jin Zuo externally, and regards itself as the governor of Liangzhou and the Duke of Xiping County, but internally, they do not follow the Jin Zuo calendar.The title of the so-called "King of Liang" began with the feudal conferment of Liu Yao in Han Zhao.

"There is a lot of noise in the mansion, will it calm down in the near future?"

After Zhang Jun entered the palace, he called Zhang Dan to work in the prefectural government. Zhang Dan asked that the various posts in Liangzhou today are also awkward. In addition, there is a set of state priests, and a set of fake kings and officials.

The meanings of these teams are also different. From the perspective of regulations, the highest is naturally the fake king's servants, and most of them are the people who are close to the clan of the Zhang family or the cronies of the state lord.The officials of the Mu's Mansion are mainly people from various wealthy clans in the realm. As for now, this line of officials is faintly rejected and neglected.However, Zhang Jun's real handling of state affairs mainly depends on a group of people engaged in and joining the army.

Zhang Dan is also a member of the Zhang clan. After hearing Zhang Jun's question, he stepped forward and said: "There are still many satirical discussions among the various divisions under the government, and they cannot be unified. Most of the speakers talk about how many giants and thieves there are in Longbian. According to it If there is not enough income, if there is any worry about causing disaster..."

Hearing this, Zhang Jun couldn't help snorting coldly: "Aren't there few villains in the state?"

A few days ago, he moved out of the state capital and moved into Qianguang Hall, in order to avoid many disputes in the state capital.The main reason for these disputes is naturally the disagreement over Longshang.Many wealthy families in Liangzhou, such as the Song family and Suo family, mainly prefer to give up part of the results of the battle in Longshang to avoid more direct conflicts with the kings from the west.

But not to mention what Longshang received, this proposal alone was intolerable to Zhang Jun.Now the king's master on the way to the West Expedition is just a side trip to Zhongzhou Xingtai. Because he went to Long, he has to withdraw by himself. This is tantamount to bowing his head directly to Zhongzhou Xingtai.

Although Liangzhou is far away from the core of the war, the situation has never been truly stable over the years.The main contradiction has changed from the conflict between the local portal and outsiders in the early days to the contradiction between the establishment and naturalization now.

When Zhang Jun's father, Zhang Shi, was in power, Zhang's foothold in Liangzhou was not stable, and he still had to rely on the support of local tyrants. Guanzhong and Longshang were in chaos one after another, and it was also the peak period when foreigners flocked to Liangzhou.Zhang Shi was killed by his generals for ridiculous reasons, but in the final analysis it was simply because these foreign tycoons were upset that Zhang Shi treated the local tycoons preferentially and foreigners harshly.

After his uncle Zhang Mao came to power, the situation in Liangzhou gradually stabilized, while the local wealthy families gradually became overwhelmed. Liangzhou's military and political affairs were mostly controlled by wealthy families, and Zhang's uncle and nephew almost became puppets.Therefore, Zhang Mao needed to draw attention to outsiders, and in turn suppress the local tyrants in Liangzhou.

By the time Zhang Jun was in power, the conflict between the two forces in Liangzhou had actually been suppressed. Even if there was still, it was no longer as direct as before. Liangzhou, or continue to set up the broken banner of Jintong?

Hu Lu is still said to be lonely and enthusiastic, not to mention Zhang Jun, a Hexi overlord who has accumulated generations of mighty power, especially when Han Zhao or Jie Zhao imposed restraint and win over Liangzhou before, they all agreed with each other , which further strengthened the eagerness in Zhang Jun's heart.

If it can be established in Liangzhou, it will not only be the honor brought by the simple name, but under this system, various means such as regulations and etiquette can be used to strengthen the deterrence and control of many forces in Liangzhou, so that Liangzhou does not have to Keep this embarrassing situation.

"Dou Rong or Kui Xiao? What a joke, even if I am Dou Rong, can Wu Er be Guangwu?"

Thinking of the recent discussions about current trends in Liangzhou, Zhang Jun couldn't help but sneer. The past can be a lesson, but the world is always man-made. Such rote analogies are nothing more than a group of idiots raving about current trends.

For Zhongzhou Xingtai, Zhang Jun couldn't say he had a good impression of him, and even felt a little bored in his heart.His family has guarded Liangzhou for generations and kept the place peaceful, but because it is located in a remote area, it is not considered kingly or elegant.On the contrary, it was the Wu people's family in Shen Weizhou District of Naxingtai, who controlled Jinzuo Wangzheng in one fell swoop by virtue of his power struggle, which far exceeded the management of his family for several generations.

In such a position, how could Zhang Jun have no desire to win?In fact, the rise of Zhongzhou Xingtai also drove him to intensify various preparations for leaving Jinzuo in the legal system.For example, sending troops to Longshang this time is an important step in his plan to separate the regime.With Hexi's partial safety and wealth, and the control of many Jin and Hu powerhouses in Longshang, it is enough to get a close look at Guanzhong and wait for changes in Zhongzhou.

Although Zhongzhou Xingtai is very strong, there are still great enemies in Hebei, and the final outcome of the war between the North and the South remains to be seen.The Zhang family has ruled Hexi for several generations, how could he be willing to naturalize Jin Zuo, and the female fell behind the traitors of Wu Xiang!

In the past, going to Taiwan with Zhongzhou was still limited to fame and status, but now as Wang Shi stepped into Longshang, the conflict between the two parties was on the verge of breaking out, which also brought the game between the various forces in Liangzhou to a close. It's heating up.

Speaking of this point, Zhang Jun had to sigh with emotion that Shen Weizhou had reached such a high position in the early years of his life, and stood out from the entanglement of many aristocratic families in the east, south and north of the river. It was not purely relying on luck or family status.

Although he is still far away in Zhongzhou, but with this mere brigade and remote division, it doesn't matter what the strategic gains or losses are, but it has completely detonated and exacerbated many hidden hidden conflicts in Liangzhou, and completely disrupted Zhang Jun's strategy. West frontier steps.

Originally in Zhang Jun's estimation, even if Zhongzhou Xingtai regained Guanzhong, it would only seek a stable flank. The main pressure still came from the remnants of Jiehu in Hebei, and it was impossible to invest too much energy and troops in Shaanxi.And Liangzhou can take advantage of this period of time, take advantage of Xingtai, quickly pacify Longshang, and gain the capital to completely establish its own system.

But he still underestimated the situation and vision of General Shen, and also overestimated his own prestige.The greatest significance of the brigade of kings in Longshang is not to attack, but to force Liangzhou to express its position. Should it continue to submit to Jin Zuo, or be completely independent?In other words, Zhang Jun either completely gave up the idea of ​​self-reliance, or completely gave up the tiger skin of Jin Zuo's righteousness on his body.

Whether Liangzhou is self-reliant, this should be a question for Shen Weizhou to worry about, but now Zhang Jun has a headache and it is difficult to decide.In terms of major decisions, he really felt that there was a gap between himself and that General Shen.

Once Liangzhou chooses to be completely independent, it will bring a heavy blow to the seemingly thriving Jinzuo revival cause, and may even affect the rise and fall of power in Zhongzhou and Hebei.But Shen Weizhou did it anyway, and chose to let Zhang Jun make a statement when he was supposed to win over, so as not to let him have any room for ambiguity.

However, Zhang Jun really didn't dare to give up Jin Zuo's tiger skin, or he was timid to bear the price he had to pay after making a choice.If the time is pushed back for another year, Zhang Jun still has such courage before Master Wang regains Guanzhong.

But now, the situation in Longshang is stalemate, and the state capital is severely divided. If he really dares to do this, once he fails to stand on his own, the situation in Liangzhou is likely to fall apart.

"Is there any military news coming from the east?"

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Jun asked again.He is so procrastinating at the moment, in fact, he hopes that his brother Zhang Guan can break through the situation strongly in Longshang, and if necessary, he can even start a battle with the Jin army, puncturing its illusion of strength.But in his position, it is not suitable to express his position directly, otherwise it will intensify the division within the state capital.

Yu Weisheng won the front line, but in turn he had the confidence to suppress those opposing voices.No matter how fierce the disputes between the parties are, in the final analysis it is still a contest of strength.But now in Liangzhou, his power is constrained by internal disputes and cannot be easily used. If Zhang Guan can rise up in Longshang, it will naturally show the results of this attack on Longshang from the side.

"There is a message from Henan that Wang Shi first entered Shangyu and then Jixian County. Conggui didn't dare to send troops to stop him because he was afraid that the two armies would turn against each other. He just asked His Highness what to do..."

"Stupid, stupid! Slave is really a dog! Don't you know that the general is out, everything is expedient, and the order is not accepted? He dare not stop because of fear of rebellion? Could it be that another day when the army crosses the river into the cold, he will also lead Everyone wait and see? The foundation of my ancestors will surely be defeated by such talents!"

Hearing Zhang Dan's report, Zhang Jun became even more furious, jumping up and down and cursing. From this, we can see Zhang Guan's stern stupidity, his courage to pursue profit, and his timidity to fight for his life.He had fully supported Zhang Guandong's entry into Longshang before, isn't this statement not enough?

Tianshui, as the most important area in Longshang, was allowed to be seized by the Jin army. This is like telling all the tyrants in Longshang that the Zhang family does not have the strength and courage to compete with the king's master in Longshang!Showing weakness to others like this, how can you expect those powerful men in Longshang to support his family and rule the roost in Longshang!
There are obstacles on the inside and mediocrity on the outside, and Zhang Jun's delay during this period is completely meaningless.Tianshui County, which is close to the mouth, has been snatched by someone. Maybe there are already countless people in the state capital who are laughing at them.

"Prepare the chariot, return home."

After Zhang Jun said this, his tone was rather dry, and a sense of powerlessness filled his heart.

　The issue of the Zhang family in Liangzhou is actually worth elaborating on. Its connotation is even richer than that of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but it is not the main line after all, so I will not elaborate on it.Liangzhou and Longshang are an extension of the Guanzhong issue, which also includes the subsequent conquest of Shu. However, the main line of Hebei has not been written for a long time, so these are not just plot lines, but will be added in the future.
