sweeping the world

Chapter 586

The state of the country is in danger, and if the country is not destroyed in a mess and the whole family is destroyed, the only option is to put aside internal disputes for the time being and work together to fight the enemy together.

Now there is not only one person who holds supreme power in Zhang Liang Country.

It stands to reason that Zhang Chonghua's eldest son is more legitimate, but Zhang Yaoling is really too young.

According to the habits of the Han family, when the king is unable to govern, people like the queen or queen mother can interfere, but the premise is to get the endorsement of the king, or the king himself is afraid of them, which is equivalent to the influence indirectly given by the king.

Zhang Chonghua's mother Ma Shi, her family is a big family in Xiliang, but Zhang Jun was too ruthless before his death, Ma Shi was purged, in order to clear the obstacles for the successor king to gain power.

The queen of Zhang's Liang Kingdom?The family is not weak, but compared with the overall gentry of a country, it can only be said to be a drop in the ocean, and it has not had time to manage it, so its influence can only be said to be average.

The Zhang family ruled Xiliang, even if it was Zhang Chonghua who officially founded the country in less than two years, he was still known as the Xiliang shogunate to the outside world, which means that the Zhang family has not yet made a more magnificent turn from a member of the aristocratic family, and is heading towards the road of the royal family go too far.

In fact, the political structure of Zhang's Liang army and the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty are really similar, the difference is that the Zhang family dominates in this corner of Xiliang.With the lessons learned from the Sima family, the Zhang family, the most powerful family in Xiliang, also suppressed other families, and this was the basis for the Zhang family to gain a firm foothold in Xiliang.

There is such a name to describe this situation of the Zhang family, and that is the warlord.As for the warlords, to put it bluntly, they can’t get on the stage. The political situation is judged by blood relationship, so that most of the high officials in Zhang’s Liang Kingdom are surnamed Zhang, and none of the generals who command the army, especially those who can open the government alone, are not surnamed Zhang. .

There are many people with the surname Zhang in China, and there are many origins. They are not from the same ancestor, but many times it is a convenience to have the same surname as the king. For example, Zhang Chong, the prefect of Jincheng, received the benefits of the surname.

Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi are also surnamed Zhang, and they are both Zhang Jun's heirs. Under the warlord regime, they will have more convenience. They have the power to command the army left by Zhang Jun when he was alive, and they have worked hard to establish it. After Zhang Chonghua's accident, the two of them became the most powerful and the most powerful people in Zhang's Liangguo after Zhang Chonghua's accident.

The threat of a large-scale invasion by the Han army made the two brothers remain rational in their struggle for power and did not engage in military battles. However, both sides continued to send assassins back and forth, not necessarily to kill each other, but mainly to cut off each other's power. Houndstooth, some people also went to the blood mold.

Gu Zang could find corpses left over from vendetta killings on the side of the road every day. It was often rumored that someone's house was touched by an assassin and wiped his neck. It was not until the Han army really approached the city of Jincheng that this phenomenon stopped.

"Gu and younger brother are determined to fight by killing the spies sent by the king of Han to provoke them." When Zhang Zuo was speaking, Zhang Tianxi was standing beside him.He raised his hand and tapped his chest: "Gu and younger brother were born of the same father, and when the country is in crisis, the brothers will be united."

It seemed that what happened before was all fake. The two brothers didn't want to put the confrontation to death. It was also an illusion to kill each other's profitable subordinates. They both put on a very sincere and united face.

"Unfortunately, brother Gu fell into the enemy's hands. The bandits took advantage of the situation to attack and tried their best to assassinate our Chao Dongliang, but it didn't make us afraid and dare not resist!" Zhang Zuo put all the previous blood debts on the head of Han. In the beginning, he wanted to show that the cannibalism was purely nonsense, and at the end he said excitedly: "The thieves are so nasty, it will only make us more united and fight against it to the end!"

Those who were called over to listen to the lines, none of them were fools. The situation in the Liang Kingdom of the Zhang family was really chaotic some time ago. Not to mention the spies in the Han Kingdom were causing trouble, and their own people were also killing each other. Since I was summoned here today, I guess I have decided what to do about the matter.

In fact, Zhang Tianxi really wanted to curl his lips, but it's not good to do that, otherwise the feigned ostentation would be gone.He didn't mean anything else, but he was more entangled with Zhang Zuo's "solitary" mouth, as if King Liang had already been taken by Zhang Zuo.

The two brothers had secretly decided to put aside the dispute for the time being, at least to repel the invasion of the Han army first, and then continue to fight for the throne of King Liang or continue.In order to show their sincerity, the two decided to bring along their own group of confidants. In addition to the garrisons who had to stay in the Western Regions in the country, they basically mobilized to fight the Han army eastward together.

After a lot of fighting, the result of the fighting is that because Zhang Zuo is the elder brother, and at the same time, his strength is really much stronger than Zhang Tianxi. After sorting, Zhang Zuo became the commander of the whole army, and Zhang Tianxi can only be ranked first. A deputy.

There is a fight for fame, and the matter of military power must be clearly explained first, and a gentlemen's agreement has been made. When it comes to the battlefield, don't have to separate yours and mine. Both are Liangjun, and whoever needs it will go to it.

Of course, a lot of things are just sayings. Having an agreement is just an extra face, so that no one can go too far. If it is really true, it will be selfless. Caught by the door.

This is an indoor stance meeting, and it's the two brothers' turn to express their stance.On such an occasion, it doesn't matter what you think in your heart, and no one will tell you what you did behind the scenes. Everyone is impassioned.

Guzang has long been a large military camp whether it is in Chengli or outside the city. In addition to the troops drawn from the west, they are young men recruited from various counties and counties. No matter what kind of bad things Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi are, they at least try their best. Making all-out preparations for war.

Including Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi, both of them have tried to see if there is a possibility of stopping the war with the Han Kingdom. A war has broken out over there. For the two brothers, there is no way to delay it. They should at least put on their own side and fight for it.

The Jinxing County and Guangwu County Zhang's Liang Army assembled to the rear of Jincheng has reached [-], most of which are troops transferred from the Western Regions and other counties in the country.

Around Guzang, nearly 15 soldiers and horses have been assembled one after another. It is time to march to the front line after Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi swear together.

Facing the large-scale invasion of the Han army, Zhang's Liangguo mobilized the whole country, from young children of twelve or three and a half years old to old men of four or fifty years old, those who could carry weapons were recruited with all their strength, and those who could carry weapons were recruited with all their strength. Even the able-bodied women were spared, and they were able to gather together an army with a total strength of more than 50 men.

The swearing-in meeting was held very grandly. The leaders and leaders came to the stage in various pomp and circumstance, and the soldiers below also had a good meal before they set off. The troops set off in batches.

"It is basically impossible for the King of Han to stop the offensive." Zhang Zuo did not ride in a carriage when he set off, but rode on a majestic Xiji horse, wearing armor with no actual protection, which is the kind used for sacrifices and sacrifices The fancy-shaped armor at the ceremony, or tens of catties has been put on the body for a long time, people can stand it, and horses can't stand it: "Only by showing the greatest determination and inflicting the greatest damage on the Han army, can we have a chance to take a breather. "

Zhang Tianxi did not confront Zhang Zuo, but wanted to agree with Zhang Zuo's words.

Even if the new head of Zhang's Liang Kingdom has only succeeded to the throne for a short time, there is no time to benefit the people, let alone win the hearts of the people, but Zhang Chonghua's capture is still a huge blow to the whole country. The king of the country.

The king was captured, and he didn't stop spreading rumors without knowing the true or false news. Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi usually had bad intentions in managing their business, but in this case, it became a good thing. Even in times of disaster, one can stand up and turn the tide. It would be great if there was only one person who could turn the tide, but there are two who can fight for it.

"This is a one-shot deal." Zhang Tianxi is young, but he is not impulsive. In fact, he does not fully agree with Zhang Zuo's idea: "If the army is defeated, there is really no room for recovery."

A warlord country with a combined population of 40 million people from the Western Regions has produced an army of more than 30 people. In addition to being disabled, most of the young and strong people in the country have been recruited. Considering the quality of the army, it is a win. In a situation where there are heavy casualties, and it is not known whether they can win, anyone will feel very guilty.

"Do you have a better way?" Zhang Zuo could still laugh: "Not to mention things in the south, there are so many examples in the north. Look at Shi Jie, then look at Tuoba Xianbei, the King of Han is completely like If the enemy is victorious and immediately pursues them fiercely, if they don't concentrate their forces and try their best to resist, will they be broken through layer by layer?"

For Zhang Zuo, the demise of the Shijie Zhao Kingdom was basically his own fault. He did not crush Liu Yan to death while he was still weak. It was the kind of approach that went a little at a time. It was also a time to strengthen Liu Yan's troops. From the beginning, he directly An army of one million people pounced on them and crushed them to death with one finger. How could there be so many things behind them?

"Whether we can beat him or not, Gu Xin knows very well." Zhang Zuo smiled heartily: "A man from Xiliang should have the courage to do something even though he knows it is impossible."

Zhang Tianxi didn't know what to say in response.

"The King of Han has the ambition to conquer the world, and always wants to regain the old land of the Han family. It is precisely because of this that Brother Wang will have trouble sleeping and eating. Hearing that the kings will make an alliance and venture away." Zhang Zuo paused, not knowing whether it was true or not. He dug his heart out and lowered his voice and said: "Xiliang is also the old land of the Han family. We must fight. If we fight early and late, we will definitely fight. My brother knows it very well. You can't fight twice. If you don't learn, The Sima clan is cowardly and doesn't learn from the Li clan (Chenghan) and they will be lucky when things happen. Besides, it would be a good thing for us to gather all the troops from across the country to fight against them."

"The king of Han wants to recover the old land of the Han family, and the Western Regions can also be regarded as the old land of the Han family." Zhang Tianxi knows what Zhang Zuo is thinking: "My Zhang family has been exploring the Western Regions for many years, and no one is more suitable than me as a pioneer in pioneering the west ,right?"

Zhang Zuo directly admitted: "Everyone should show his value when he is alive. If we can repel the Han army and prevent the Han army from invading again, it is naturally the best to protect the country. We will continue to fight for the throne. If ... Nothing can be done, if the King of Han can accept Ran Min, who claims to be the king and submits to him, and dares to reuse the surrendered generals of the Southern Dynasty, we can be regarded as being used by the King of Han."

Zhang Tianxi murmured, "I heard... the king of Han was talking about a civil war when he attacked Liang."

The two brothers are telling the truth with all their heart and soul. Liu Yan's Han Kingdom has already shown the strength to dominate the world. It is naturally the best to try and continue to separate the country. If not, then show your ability on the battlefield and not be cold Can't the king still fight for a big man's general Dangdang?

Zhang Zuo also said leisurely: "The Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom was in the hands of the King of Han as early as, and it has been a long time since Shi Jie was not destroyed, Tuoba Xianbei and Murong Xianbei...and of course we in Xiliang. It seems that the rumors are not wrong, King of Han It is necessary to wipe out Yunei to be called emperor, otherwise it should have been called emperor long ago."

Power is stronger than others, no matter how much you are unwilling or unwilling, you should see the facts clearly after fighting for it. The two brothers were tacit at first, and they would only turn a blind eye to those aristocratic families in China as long as they didn't do too much or be conspicuous. Close one eye.In fact, they also gave some hints to the following families, and those aristocratic families finally stopped. Everyone wanted to show their value and ability, and it was also a good thing for the two brothers to resist the invasion of the Han army.

The distance from Guzang to Jincheng is more than two hundred miles from the map of the plain, and the road along the way is basically a flat terrain. It only took five days for the army to arrive at Guangwu County.

Whether it is Jinxing County or Guangwu County, they are actually on the north bank of the Yellow River, and Jincheng is separated by the Yellow River. It is precisely because of this that the Liang army will gather in the two counties separately. I am not afraid that the Han army that is not far away will gather in the army. Time to kill.

After Zhang Zuo arrived at the ground, he was not idle at all, and asked Zhang Tianxi to arrange follow-up at the camp. He brought a team of personal soldiers to the bank of the Yellow River to watch the situation in Jincheng from a distance.

The season has already entered the middle of spring, but because of the cold weather in recent years, the temperature is actually relatively low. People can really feel the coolness when they stay on the bank of the Yellow River and are constantly blown by the wind carrying the moist river water.

"How long has it been since the Han army attacked the aqueduct?" Zhang Zuo's eyesight was pretty good. He saw the fighting there from a distance and asked, "How is the situation in other directions?"

Song and Qin were in charge of the assembly of the Liang army in Guangwu County. Of course, they wanted to answer Zhang Zuo's questions and report respectfully: "The two armies have been fighting for the canal for four days. The Han army surprisingly did not mobilize large equipment such as catapults to bombard it. Sending small groups of troops to fight close to each other, the general thought that it was the Han general who forced Zhang Taishou to send troops to fight, in order to consume the defenders."

The rest of Jincheng?The Han army has been cleaning up the acropolis, and even played a game of whack-a-mole with the Liang army.

Zhang Zuo asked again: "Did the Han army try to build a bridge across the river?"

Speaking of this, Song Qin had to frown...

……Dividing line……

I started suffering from acute gastroenteritis last night. I almost fainted in the toilet several times. It was so terrible.
