Zhang Jun was a native of Mianzhu, Hanzhou (present-day Sichuan), after Zhang Liang, the Marquis of the Western Han Dynasty.
In the fourth year of Jianyan (1130), in order to alleviate the pressure of the Song army on the Jianghuai front, Zhang Jun proposed to manage Sichuan and Shaanxi, intending to open a second battlefield in Sichuan and Shaanxi to attract the Jin army into Shaanxi and thus ensure the safety of the Southern Song court.
Emperor Gaozong of Song agreed to Zhang Jun's request and ordered him to serve as an envoy to Sichuan and Shaanxi and to be responsible for running Sichuan and Shaanxi.
In Sichuan and Shaanxi, Zhang Jun trained new recruits and appointed Liu Ziyu, Zhao Kai, Wu Jiu and others, and the situation was completely new.
In addition, Zhang Jun also gathered a total of 400,000 soldiers and horses from the Five Roads of Sichuan and Shaanxi, with a strong foundation, so he was in the FupingTun camp and wanted to fight the Jin army to the death.
Unfortunately, in the Battle of Fuping, the Song and Jin sides fought and killed each other, although the victory and defeat momentum changed several times in the course of the battle, it finally ended in the rout of the Song army.
At that time, as the commander-in-chief of the great war, Zhang Jun himself was not on the scene, but sat in Yingzhou.
He was not afraid of death, nor did he ever hesitate to die.
To be fair, although Zhang Jun was only a scribe, he was extremely courageous, responsible for things, and did not hesitate to die, nor was he afraid of death.
Yangzhou was shocked, Zhao Zhuo fled to the riverside, there was no way to the heavens, there was no door to the ground, it was he who went to a fisherman's house with his sword to rob a fishing boat and crossed the river smoothly.
In the Pingding Miao Liu Mutiny, it was he who did not panic, calmly dispatched troops, and helped Zhao Zhuo complete the restoration without danger.
The Assassin came to the house, he was calm and self-assured, talked with the Assassin about ideals, talked about life, and finally dissolved one of the Assassin's murderous hearts, so the Assassin put down the butcher knife and flew away.
……
From these examples, we can't see that Zhang Jun is a fearful and cowardly person.
The reason why he did not personally come to Fuping to direct the war was because he was too confident that the victory of the war was not suspenseful.
So much so that the defeated soldiers fled back to Yingzhou, and he could not return for a long time.
Heaven, place, people, all on my side, how can I lose?
But this failure is so really in front of me, oh my God, what should I do?!
Zhang Jun, who has always been calm and confident, seems so helpless and unprepared at this time, he doesn't even know what to do next.
You know, although the Song army ended in defeat in the Battle of Fuping, this is not the end of the world, only the army was reorganized well, the consequences and losses caused were not too big, but unfortunately, Zhang Jun's dream was completely shattered in the face of the cold reality, the mood fell to the freezing point, the aftermath was done sloppily and roughly, and the war situation in Shaanxi began to rot...
First of all, Zhang Jun demoted Liu Xi, the governor of the capital, to the position of Haizhou regimental training envoy and placed him in Hezhou to live idly. Then an accountability meeting was held to seriously deal with Zhao Zhe, who was the first to lose.
"Snap!" Zhang Jun stood tall on the hall, slapped the hall wood, killed, threatened the generals under the hall with a straight face, and asked in a loud voice: "Who should be the one to blame for the big event of misleading the country?" ”
The generals under the hall were silent, and had no choice but to unanimously testify: Fuping's defeat was all because Zhao Zhe's Huanqing soldiers were selling out against the enemy!
This reason is somewhat unauthentic, if a big war is lost, there will definitely be a place that will be broken first, just as Han Yu said in "Zhang Zhongcheng's Later Narrative": "When a person dies, his hidden intestines will be first affected by his illness." Lead the rope and it will be there. ”
If we want to seriously investigate, the biggest responsibility for the failure of this great war is Zhang Jun himself.
Of course, we can't just talk about heroes with one success or failure, although the progress of this war is somewhat far-fetched, some untimely, and even some childlike elements, but in the process of the battle, the Song army is not without a chance of victory, the whole camp was passively impacted, but Liu Kun was able to show his skills in danger, and the danger was about to win the battle.
However, the so-called "fierce battle danger" of the two sides seems to be on an equal footing, and the victory and defeat are often the difference between the front lines, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, the fighters are fleeting, and if the commander does not have an accurate judgment of the situation on the battlefield and closely grasps the trend of the war, he will not be able to expand the results of the battle to the maximum when he wins, and minimize the losses when he fails.
For Jin Guo, if it were not for Yan Zongbi's insistence, if it were not for Yan Lou's normal grasp of the battlefield, if it were not for Yan Zongfu's reserves to carry out a tentative attack on Zhao Zhe's Huanqing army... Honestly, it's hard to say who the winner of this war is. If the Song army won, Zhang Jun undoubtedly became the number one general of the Southern Song Dynasty, comparable to Zhou Yu at the Battle of Chibi and Xie An at the Battle of Shuishui.
Now, all Zhang Jun can do is to "want to behead the general and use an excuse to get close to it."
He ordered the soldiers to push Huan Qingjing out of Zhao Zhe to make a decision.
Zhao Zhe was not convinced, struggled hard, shouted in his mouth, and hysterically confessed that he had made great achievements in restoration and should not be executed.
In order to make him stop, Zhang Jun ordered the governor to slam his mouth with an iron bone.
The "Iron Bone" is a military weapon, shaped like a round sledgehammer, with a handle.
The sledgehammer fell to the mouth, and immediately the front teeth fell, the lips and tongue were rotten, the mouth and nose were deformed, and Zhao Zhe "could not make a sound in blood flow", and finally was "cut down".
For a moment, there was a lot of noise.
The generals of Huanqing Road were stunned, everyone was in danger, and at the instigation of the commander-in-chief Mu Huan, they actually collectively defected into the Western Xia Kingdom.
Since then, the situation in Sichuan and Shaanxi has decayed and fallen into a state of almost uncontrollable control.
