imperial psychologist

Chapter 539
"About one-third of it was damaged." Zhang Zhiyi replied, "But fortunately, the emperor sent a large army to Jiangzhou with craftsmen and master craftsmen in advance, and this area was unscathed."

"What?" Zhang Shou was taken aback in the center, and he really didn't think about it, "Why is it still the same when there is Shenjiying?"

"It's not as simple as Mr. Zhang thinks." Zhang Zhiyi's expression was a little subtle. He looked away with a bit of guilt. The old lair for a long time, the emperor probably didn't have any experience in mountain warfare before, plus he was attacking from the top... It's hard to say how much he took advantage of.

"When I heard the news that the emperor personally went to suppress the bandits, Lord Gongyang, the prefect, almost went crazy. We didn't dare to delay for a moment, but Lord Gongyang didn't have a tiger talisman in his hand. He ran to Jiangzhou Mansion in the middle of the night with the official seal in his hand. The barracks, let the garrison over there send troops, but..."

Zhang Zhiyi's words came to an abrupt end here.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Shouzhong asked, "Jiangzhou garrison refuses to help?"

"Yes." Zhang Zhiyi nodded, put his little finger and thumb on the palm of his hand, with the three fingers pointing upwards, and said solemnly, "It's a bit provocative, but what Zhiyi said is true, I saw it with my own eyes What you see. General Li Ran at the Jiangzhou Station just refuses to believe Lord Gongyang's words.

"He said that he recognized the amulet but not the person, and that if the magistrate moved out of the emperor, he would be able to mobilize military power, then everyone would be able to use this as an excuse to coerce the troops from now on...so he absolutely refuses to set this precedent."

Zhang Shouzhong frowned slightly.

Although this sounds unreasonable, it should be.

When the two armies are at war, if all the troops in front of the battle are "adaptive" and ignore military orders, then the battle will be impossible.

"That Li Ran is really irritating," Zhang Zhiyi mentioned this person, and he became angry, "He said that as long as a person has a little brain, it is impossible to lead 500 people to the lair of the blue-robed thief. This is no different from death... ...He also asked Master Gongyang to bring those old masters who claimed that the emperor broke into the mountain for him to interrogate, to see if it was a trap of the green robe thief—"

Zhang Zhiyi took a deep breath, "We were delayed all night in the Jiangbei military camp, and our hearts were ashamed. Lord Gongyang even wanted to die for his country... Fortunately, at dawn the next day, news came from Nancheng, saying A team of more than 300 people went to the city, and called to see the prefect of Jiangzhou."

"Did the emperor lead his troops back in triumph?" Zhang Shouzhong asked.

"Exactly!" Zhang Zhiyi nodded again and again, his eyes were slightly hot, and he couldn't help but wiped his eyes with his sleeve, "We didn't find out where the emperor was at the first glance, everyone was covered in bruises." Mud, can't see the appearance at all.

"Then the emperor himself stepped forward and said to Lord Gongyang, 'You are the prefect of Jiangzhou, Gongyangen?', only then did we recognize that the person in front of us was Jinshang.

"More than 300 people escorted more than 30 suspected leaders of the Qingpao bandits, and they just entered the city. The people only knew that the emperor was coming that day, so the streets were under martial law, but no one thought that the Qingpao bandits would be wiped out—Jiang Zhou Up and down, all boiling.

"Later, the magistrate sent an order to heal the wounded and resupply the soldiers accompanying the emperor," Zhang Zhiyi took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly, "Those swords were collected under the supervision of the subordinates and sent to be re-forged. All of them were bloody, and almost all of them had their blades curled... Really, it was a fierce battle."

Zhang Shouzhong listened all the way, and his heart was turbulent. He asked quickly, "How is the emperor? Are you injured?"

"It's nothing serious." Zhang Zhiyi replied seriously, "The emperor also specially asked me to send a message back, telling Mr. Zhang and Mr. Sun Ge not to worry about him. But speaking of this, there is really one thing that makes me and Mr. Gongyang tremble with fear. .”

"What is it?"

"The emperor didn't wear armor when he came back." Zhang Zhiyi frowned, with a bit of doubt on his face, "He is the only one among the hundreds of people who didn't wear armor... Shenji Camp definitely lacks armor, but Your Majesty wears nothing but leggings and sand gloves."

Zhang Shouzhong's throat moved, and only then did he realize that his back was wet with sweat.

He was moved, surprised, and extremely angry.

Earlier, when Chen Yicong was still in Prince Gong's mansion, he could see that the son was not like his father, but more like Emperor Jianxi in the early years, with a brave and diligent heart... This is of course a good thing, but if the emperor really If something goes wrong in this bandit suppression, what kind of turmoil will happen in the inner court of Pingjing...

Hasn't the Emperor himself thought about this?

His northern tour is not only to transport armaments, but also to comfort the soldiers on the northern frontier. If he dies before leaving the army, what kind of blow will it be to the four northern states.

...Hasn't the emperor thought about this point?
As the emperor's teacher, Zhang Shouzhong knew that Chen Yicong was not a reckless man with no plans, so he could only come to one conclusion - Chen Yicong had thought about all these possibilities, but he just wanted to go!

Zhang Shouzhong woke up suddenly.

"... No, we need to add more guards."

Zhang Zhiyi didn't understand at once, seeing Zhang Shouzhong's suddenly pale face, he was a little dazed, "Master Zhang...?"

"Come here!" Zhang Shouzhong turned his head, and the two servants of the Ministry of Punishment who were accompanying him rode forward. Zhang Shouzhong turned his horse's head and said in a deep voice, "You continue to lead the way. The green-robed thief is a serious offender of the imperial court. There must be no mistakes. Wait until all the criminals are put in In prison, you take Zhang Inspector to stay at the Jingzhong Post House, and I will be there later."

The two servants nodded in response.

"Where is Master Zhang going?" Zhang Zhiyi asked hastily.

"Zhiyi's journey has been exhausting, it's really hard work."

Zhang Shouzhong was holding the rein, and the horse under his crotch had already sensed his intention to go, neighing and exhaling in a low voice.

He frowned, with a serious expression, "I have a most urgent thing to do right now, so I'll come back as soon as I go."

Zhang Zhiyi hurriedly cupped his hands in salute, and then watched Zhang Shouzhong leave.

Thinking of Zhang Shouzhong calling out his name just now, Zhang Zhiyi was moved again.

Unexpectedly, the idol still remembered his name!

……

Zhang Shouzhong hurried back to the Ministry of War.

This time going north, Chen Yicong mobilized [-] mausoleum guards and [-] elite soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, and set off from Pingjing.

Earlier, Zhang Shouzhong volunteered to join Chen Yicong on his northern tour this time.

Chen Yicong refused - he said that the court was busy with government affairs, and Sun Ge was getting old, so he needed Zhang Shouzhong's support.

Later, Zhang Shouzhong pointed out several guards in Beijing and asked the emperor to take him with him.

But Chen Yicong also refused - he said that he had transferred so many troops to the north, and the defense of the capital was already weaker than before, so these experienced guards should be allowed to stay in the capital.

Besides, it is summer now, and there will be no gold thieves on the road, so there is no need to be so nervous.

To show his trust, Chen Yicong left the tiger talisman of the mausoleum guard to Sun Beiji. During his absence in the capital, there were more than [-] defenders in the capital and more than [-] mausoleum guards. Collaborate against enemies.

The more Zhang Shouzhong thought about it, the angrier he became.

So why did the emperor go north this time?
Reward the armed forces?To comfort the living people?
Or is there a gully in his heart that must be filled in this way?

In the Jiangzhou battle, the 500 people in the Shenji Battalion were reduced to [-], and the mausoleum guards were temporarily uninjured.

Further north, if he encounters rogues somewhere else, how many people does he plan to bring to charge?
