Chapter 1008 Jun Lusuye? Zhang Zhaoye?

Chapter 1008 Jun Lusuye? Zhang Zhaoye?

After Zhang Jun took the letter, he quickly read it.

Since everyone couldn't see the letter, they could only look at Zhang Jun and try to figure out something from his expression.

Zhang Jun looked very angry, as if he had been severely insulted. But this letter was written in a dark way, and the wording was probably as euphemistic as possible, which made everyone very angry. It seems that the conditions offered by Emperor Liang Shaoxun were very poor, and he even said some ugly words. Even though he modified it in every possible way, it still made people angry Zhang Jun was angry.

Song Ji also looked at Zhang Jun with burning eyes, implying expectation.

But Zhang Jun didn't say anything and looked down for the second time.

This time I looked more carefully, it took a longer time, and the expressions on my face changed very wonderfully.

Song Ji felt a chill in his heart, he must have been moved.

If you have never considered surrendering at all, then you will not watch it a second time, just reject it outright and express your determination in public.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Jun was wavering in his heart.

On the one hand, he is reluctant to abandon the inheritance passed down by his father and grandfather, and on the other hand, he is pessimistic about the situation. At this time, any slight disturbance will have an impact on him, and he will then make a decision to stick to the end or leave the city to surrender.

The other staff members also said nothing and just watched quietly.

After a long time, Zhang Jun put down the letter, glanced at everyone, and said: "In the past, when Cao Cao came to Jingzhou, there were Lu Su and Zhou Yujian as the main force fighting in Soochow, but now there is only General Song, so why?"

After saying that, Huoran stood up, snorted coldly, and said: "Even if you want to surrender, Zhang Zhao and others will tell you the whole story slowly, but you and others will say nothing. Why?"

Still no one spoke, and an unspeakable silence filled the hall.

"Fan Changshi, the two Sima, and General Song will stay, and the rest of the people will disperse." Zhang Jun sat back behind the case angrily and said.

Not speaking is more uncomfortable than scolding him, because it shows that they despise themselves and have a completely different attitude.

"Servant, please leave." Everyone left the table one after another.

After the last figure disappeared around the corner, Zhang Jun looked at Fan Hao, Yin Yuan, Han Pu, and Song Ji, sighed softly, and handed the letter to the four of them for circulation.

Fan Yao was the first to read it, with no strange expression on his face, as if he had already thought of it, and then handed the letter to Yin Yuan.

After Yin Yuan read it, he put it on the desk, twirling his beard and thinking deeply. He looked like he was thinking about his lord, but in fact he felt a little aloof.

Song Ji stood up and walked to the opposite side, picked up the letter, scanned it ten lines at a time, and then snorted coldly.

Han Pu coughed and stretched out his hand to signal.

Song Ji acted as if he had not seen him before, and cursed: "Shao, do you think there is no one in Liangzhou?"

Han Pu stood up, grabbed Song Ji's hand, took away the letter under his angry eyes, and returned to his seat to read.

After a moment, he sneered three times, but he didn't know who was laughing.

"Have you finished reading it?" Zhang Jun suddenly said: "Now that you have finished reading it, you can express your opinions freely."

Changshi Fanyi pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, Emperor Liang is about to conquer the northern land, and the situation has been established. Liangzhou is only a corner of the world, and it is absolutely difficult to resist. Today, Ji Wangshan is high and the road is far away, and the road is blocked and long. I think it is a delaying strategy. I thought it was a bad idea.”

"If a peaceful and successful king is hindered by the remonstrances of his ministers, or suffers from a lack of money and food, he will be unable to sustain the siege for a long time, or there may be a chance to negotiate peace."

"However, Emperor Liang started his career in the army and experienced many killings. His determination was tougher than ordinary people, and his bravery was better than that of his peers. If he failed once, he would attack again the next year, and Liangzhou would never have peace."

The words stop there, but the meaning is clear.

If you, my lord, are facing the second or third generation of Shaoliang, you may be able to rely on the high mountains and long distances to defend and counterattack.

These conservative monarchs rely on political power and political struggle to control the court and implement their own will. Once the expenditure is too great and the gains outweigh the losses, it will attract many objections. It is indeed possible to hold their noses and agree to your semi-separatist status, as long as the flag is changed. To change the flag, just surrender on the surface.

But what he will face is the founder of the country, or the best founder of the foundation who fought with swords and guns in troubled times.

This kind of tycoon in troubled times has tenacious ambitions, ruthless methods, and extremely high prestige.

They don't even bother to use so-called sophisticated political fighting methods to achieve their goals. Instead, they go to that station and others will naturally follow the orders they give.

If there is any opposition, fight it with all your strength.

Unless there is an internal rebellion for this kind of person, or there is an external enemy - such as Sima Rui from Jiangdong or the Murong family from Liaoxi - who attacks and kills on a large scale, or he suffers a huge defeat and is really unbeatable, don't expect him to give up. There is no power that can check him.

Although Zhang Jun is the so-called "Shou Chengjun", in these troubled times, even Shoucheng Jun is different from the Shoucheng Jun in the prosperous years of the unified dynasty. He can deeply understand Fan Hao's words and silently After a while, he asked: "There is King Langya who supervises the country in Jianye. After the Zen Dynasty, he may be called the King of Jin or even ascend the throne and become the emperor. How can he not have the intention of the Northern Expedition?"

Fan Yao shook his head and said: "King Langya is trapped in a net. He can protect himself. The Northern Expedition is extremely difficult. You must not count on others."

Zhang Jun thought about it in Jiangdong's environment, and it was indeed the case.

I heard that when Zu Ti launched his northern expedition to Xuzhou, the wealthy Jiangdong clan was only willing to provide a small amount of food, grass, equipment, and soldiers. Once they crossed the Huai River, they lost interest. It seemed that they were content with just guarding the front line of Huaiyin. How much trouble could they cause to Shao Xun? , I really think too much.

"Chang Shi has been to Luoyang, does he know what Emperor Liang was like?" Zhang Jun asked again.

"He is brave and decisive, and his mind is tenacious." Fan Yao said directly without thinking much. He had obviously been thinking about this person for a long time.

Zhang Jun glanced at him with a strange expression on his face, then looked at Yin Yuan and said, "What is Zuo Sima's opinion?"

Yin Yuan stood up and bowed, saying, "It would be best if my lord please surrender as soon as possible."

Although Zhang Jun had the idea of ​​​​surrendering in his heart, he was still a little overwhelmed when he saw Yin Yuan being so direct, and asked: "Why are you so timid?"

"Your Majesty, Lord." Yin Yuan stood up and said, "Since the war, Wuwei has become an isolated city. However, Wuxing and Xijun are close at hand, and the reinforcements are no more than a thousand people, and they are intercepted by local wealthy families. Zhangye, Xihai, Jiuquan , the reinforcements from Jinchang, Dunhuang, and Gaochang counties, has the Lord ever seen them?”

"Maybe it's a long way to go and I didn't arrive in time." Zhang Jun said.

"My lord, if you think like this, you may have a good opportunity." Yin Yuan said: "To be honest, before the Jin Dynasty and the Liang Dynasty, dozens of Liangzhou children were promoted to serve as officials in the dynasty, including many from Dunhuang, Jiuquan, and Zhangye. . In the eyes of the noble families in the counties, Emperor Liang trusted them very much and would still rely on them in the future. "My lord has just mentioned Cao Cao's expedition to the south. It is true that if Lu Su and Zhang Zhao surrender to Cao Cao, Cao Cao should pay them back to the local party and appreciate their reputation, but he will not lose the job of Cao Cao, riding a calf and serving as an official." After he died, he traveled to Shilin and lost his official position. In this case, it would be better to surrender to Shao."

These words directly lifted the veil of tenderness and revealed the realistic and ugly side underneath.

After the people surrendered to Shao, they could still "overburden officials without losing the state and county", and local affairs were still decided by them. There may be a few loyal people, but the vast majority of people have no reason to resist.

From Yin Yuan's point of view, Zhang Su might be the only one in the western counties who was willing to send troops to rescue him because this was the "clan" and he did not want to see the Zhang family's "dynasty" destroyed - in many cases, it was known that reusing the clan was prone to trouble, but It just has to be used, and that’s why.

After hearing what Yin Yuan said, Zhang Jun took a deep look at him and asked: "Jun Zhang Zhaoye? Lu Suye?"

Yin Yuan paid his respects again and said, "My servant is still here in Guzang. I haven't left without saying goodbye like Qu Hu did. Lord, you know my thoughts."

Zhang Jun's face softened slightly, and he became a little depressed again.

Cao Cao did not attack Sun Quan's door, but Shao Xun had already solidly surrounded Gu Zang. At this time, I am afraid that there would be Zhao Zhao everywhere, but Lu Su would not be there.

He turned to look at the two warriors, first passing by Song Ji, then looking at Han Pu, and asked: "What does Han Sima have to say?"

"If the lord does not surrender, I will die together. If the lord surrenders, I will have nothing to do with you." Han Pu sighed, and there seemed to be some dissatisfaction in his words, and he said with a little emotion: "Zuo is just what I owe you to the Zhang family. Before he died, he repaid this kindness and left cleanly in the underworld. But that’s it, Pan Changshi and Yin Sima have already said some things, so I won’t say more.”

Zhang Jun felt extremely complicated after hearing this.

Han Pu is a veteran. He was a general in the army during his grandfather's time, and was promoted to Sima when his father was in power. It has been ten years now.

He didn't have much respect for him on weekdays, and he kept saying strange things, which once made him think that this person was going to surrender.

Unexpectedly, at the time of life and death, he was actually willing to die for the Zhang family.

You can't just look at the appearance of a person. Some people are perverse and unruly, but they are really willing to fight for you.

Some people are extremely submissive, but secretly they want you to die.

It's a pity that he didn't understand this until now. Is it too late?

"Han Pushu, what did you say?" Song Ji glared and cursed: "How can the army be undefeated by complaining and being discouraged?"

Han Pu only glanced at him, sneered twice, and said no more.

With people like this who don’t understand the general trend, it’s no wonder we’re where we are today. What would happen if we surrendered early? Now, it has caused the Han family to be destroyed as well.

"Lord," Song Ji said, "This is the time to grit your teeth and persevere. Don't be half-hearted. Han Pu is incompetent and full of complaints. Please ask the general to lead the army and defend the three cities."

Han Pu had originally made up his mind to stop talking, but Song Ji directly insulted him. He suddenly became unhappy and said "weird words" again. He only heard him say: "General Song is afraid that Emperor Liang will not use you as the Song family, right? That's right, Song What is the reputation of the family? Without the support of Duke Xiping, there would be no chance of the Song family rising in another hundred years."

The Dunhuang Song family was a local tycoon and famous for their military force, but they had never been well-known in the Jin Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Wu, Song Zhi was appointed as the meritorious official of Dunhuang County. This was the pinnacle that the Song family could reach.

At that time, the prefect Yin Xu died. Yang Xin, the governor of Liangzhou who had participated in the battle to destroy Shu, petitioned Dunhuang and ordered Liang Cheng to lead the prefect.

Song Zhi refused to obey, so he dismissed Cheng and ordered Hu Feng to be the prefect. Yang Xin sent troops to attack and was defeated by Song Zhi.

As a result, Linghu Feng was appointed as the prefect. After Feng's death, his younger brother Linghu Hong succeeded him as the prefect. It was not until four years later that Yang Xin regained his position and killed Linghu Hong, while Song Zhi disappeared.

This was an attempt by the Song family to break the situation violently out of anger due to being restrained everywhere. However, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, the chance was slim and ultimately failed.

After Zhang Gui conquered Liangzhou, the Song family finally got a chance, so they really didn't want to see Liangzhou change hands.

Han Pu actually spoke to Song Ji's heart.

Song Ji turned around and stared at him fiercely, wanting to bite him.

"What do you want me to do?" Han Pu sneered: "I told you not to just dance with guns and sticks, but to read more books, but you didn't listen. Your Ling Ai Gong (Song Xian) is a good scholar. He is a rare scholar among the thousands of people in his family. If you have time, why don't you study with him? I heard that he lived in seclusion in Nanshan, Analects of Confucius, and wrote poems about it. Many people asked to see him but couldn't. ”

"It is good to study more. Emperor Liang was born in a scholarly family, and he was poorer than you, the Song family. Do you think he would reuse the rich and humble people?"

"Submission as soon as possible, the Song family may still be appointed. If you utter arrogant words here, do not know the future, and harm Emperor Liang, it will be a huge and irreparable loss for the Song family."

"Do you understand what I said?"

Song Ji was stunned and wanted to say something, but was speechless.

Zhang Jun was a little confused.

I had some affection for Han Pu just now, but now I hate him for talking too much.

Song Ji is a rare warring faction, but his mind was shaken by your few words. Whose side are you on?

Han Pu noticed Zhang Jun's gaze, but he didn't care. He just cupped his hands and said, "The Emperor Liang was a man of great talent, and he was well-suited both far and near, but he had the disadvantage of being a man of few people. My lord must have made a decision long ago."

Zhang Jun was choked and speechless.

I want to be angry, but I feel powerless.

He had only been married for a few years, and the couple was very loving and had a deep friendship. It would be unbearable to think about it if my beloved wife was kidnapped by Shao Xun and cried softly and coquettishly under him, expressing her joy.

Fan Yao observed the words and said: "My Lord, on this occasion, I would like to go out from Guzang at night to the Liang Army camp to meet with General Liang Army."

Zhang Jun didn't speak.

After a long time, he nodded slightly.
