Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 824: There are generals who want to gain momentum, and there are soldiers who are unpredictable.

The name Zhang Fang was really familiar to Chen Zhi. This person's name was written on the book in his study.

In the original history, there was civil strife in the Western Jin Dynasty, and Zhang Fang was one of the main supporting characters. He was from a low background and was funded by others, and then he came to prominence. He was valued by a Western Jin clan, promoted him, and eventually led the troops in battle. Military exploits.

This person is quite motivated, and being valued by the clan is also the result of his efforts to perform well, but the final outcome is not very good.

The reason why Chen Zhi cares about this person is because he was really a brave general in his original history!
During the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty, Zhang Fang, as the vanguard, led [-] troops from Hangu Pass and entered Heluo. After fierce battles along the way, he finally defeated the army, captured Luoyang, burned Changsha King Sima Yi alive, and took the emperor hostage. And when he returned to Guanzhong, he was granted the title of leader of the army, recorded ministerial affairs, and served as the prefect of Jingzhao. He was in the limelight!

Even if you want to ignore such people, it is difficult.

"Zhang Fang was originally valued by the Sima family, but now he is valued by the Prince of Zhao. It's the same thing, but in the original history, this person was framed and died a few years ago, but now the civil strife has not started. , this man was not killed, but his reputation was not revealed yet. I thought it would take a while before I saw him rise to prominence, but I didn’t expect to meet him here, but it’s hard to say. There are many people with the same name. We can’t be sure it’s that person. Even if it’s the original person, if his life experience is different, his talents and character may be different, so we still have to observe and observe.”

Having said that, Chen Zhi was almost certain in his heart that the person in front of him was Zhang Fang in the original history. The reason was simple. If not, it would not have caused the shadow in his vision.

Crisis, crisis, where there is danger, there is opportunity. Originally, in history, kings fought in a melee, and all tribes looked at each other. The entire Central Plains ended up in chaos, which can be described as a disaster. However, there were also many characters who rose to prominence by taking advantage of such opportunities.

Chen Zhi's book is actually a list of the characters who have an impression in his memory. In the future, there will be a comparison whether it is to watch Qi, recruit, or suppress or be vigilant.

However, due to the changes in the course of history, many people who were originally famous have disappeared at this time, and many names of people who had no signs of it are now famous all over the world. This square belongs to the former.

"However, it is a bit surprising that this person has now defected to Prince Zhao. However, if you think about it carefully, there is a reason. Zhang Fang was originally from Hejian, Jizhou, and he and Prince Zhao are considered fellow villagers. And when the Zhao Kingdom fell, the crown prince who went to the capital for help was bound to be looked down upon by others, and his situation was unavoidable. In this case, except for people from poor and humble backgrounds, no one would want to seek refuge with him."

Looking at the expression on Zhang Fang's face, Chen Zhi vaguely guessed this person's purpose.

It was quite difficult for Tang Zi of the Tang family to rise to power in the past, precisely because he was limited by his original background, and Zhang Fang's background was even lower. Although he was brave, ordinary people from aristocratic families might not value him. He, let alone the clan king?In addition, although there are various undercurrents in the world, after all, it is not like the original chaos in history, and the value of generals has not been really released. In addition, Zhang Fang does not have a good record. I think he will find someone to take refuge in Luoyang. It was similar to the situation when Xuande went to the capital to appeal for power after the Yellow Turban Uprising. Except for the Prince of Zhao who was in trouble and desolate, no one looked down on him. "

Thinking like this, Sun Xiu also saw that Chen Zhi was interested in Zhang Fang, so he smiled and said: "Zhang Jun is highly skilled in martial arts and is also involved in military and family affairs. He is really a talented person, but it is just limited by his background. This is a bit of a waste. He is now Even though I went north, I recommended myself in front of the Crown Prince. In fact, I came here because I knew of your wisdom, General."

Along with the introduction, Zhang Fang deliberately puffed out his chest, making his entire physique and outline more clear. His sturdy posture suddenly exuded a strong aura, which made many servants around him notice that he was extraordinary. Secretly smacking his tongue.After hearing this, Chen Zhi understood more and more what Zhang Fang was thinking.

"Looking at this situation, it is obvious that Zhang Fang had no choice but to seek refuge with the Crown Prince Zhao. He really couldn't find a way out, so he at least settled for the next best thing. He obviously used the Crown Prince as a springboard, but similarly, whether this person is In the original history, or in the present, they were all fighting hard, staying away from home, working hard in places like Chang'an and Luoyang, looking for the lord. It was obvious that they were very ambitious, and they would not be willing to stay in a small place, like Dai Jun. The frontier land may not be able to satisfy his appetite, so he came to me because he wanted to find another springboard..."

Although Zhang Fang was mighty and majestic, and he looked like a good man at first glance, but just a cursory glance showed that he was quite old, in his late thirties or forties. He was really only a few years old at this age.

"The age of a military commander is also very important. If you want to be a commander and make military exploits, if you are old and weak, you will not be able to achieve anything. In the original history, Zhang Fang had already achieved fame and died many years ago. As a result, he is not on the right track now and has a disadvantage in terms of age, so he must be in a hurry. He chose to be a down-and-out prince, and then immediately recommended himself to the North. He saw that there was going to be a war in the North, and he was determined to make military exploits, and then use it. This military exploit serves as a springboard to another job..."

In just a few words, Chen Zhi guessed Zhang Fang's thoughts, but he did not reject this idea.

"His mentality can indeed be exploited, and if this person is really talented, he must find a way to stay..." After a second thought, a light flashed in Chen Zhi's eyes, and the surging luck on Zhang Fang's head opposite him The scene has come into view.

On the opposite side, Sun Xiu wanted to say something else, but Chen Zhi had already asked: "I wonder how Mr. Sun wants to help?"

These words were so direct that Sun Xiu was stunned, but he soon understood and said with a smile: "With the reputation of Wang Sun, some generals who were originally scattered across Jizhou came over, and they all had a call. With our strength, if the general is willing, he can send them to Jizhou and recruit troops. In addition, we have recalled some soldiers and horses in Jixian and other places before, but we are just worried about the opinions of Daijun and did not lead them here."

Chen Zhi nodded and asked, "I wonder how many troops there are?"

Sun Xiu stretched out three fingers and said: "Three thousand!"

When Chen Zhi heard this, he narrowed his eyes.

After a cup of tea, Sun Xiu left with Zhang Fang with a smile on her face, while Chen Zhi sat in the room, tapping the seat under him with one finger.

"Sun Xiu came here this time and told Zhao Wangsun that Wang Jun was untrustworthy and wanted to persuade me to send troops to help. But in front of me, he never mentioned helping Zhao from the beginning to the end, which is a bit interesting."
