Chapter 267 Verbal Confrontation (Additional Update)

"It's equivalent to a military advisor." Hu Kun replied: "However, the chief of staff of Chen Jiajun belongs directly to the staff department and is at the same level as the commander-in-chief of the first army."

"Isn't that the supervisor of the army?" Zhe Kezhi's words were quite insulting.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a road "Du Jian" in charge of the garrison, training and border defense affairs of the forbidden army on this road.

There is also the "dujian" of the state capital, which is in charge of the garrison, training, weapons and service of the Xiang army in the city.

These supervisors included military generals and civilian officials, but Zhe Keqiu was talking about the supervisors.

One word difference, but the connotation is completely different.

Because the supervisors of the army are usually eunuchs, this is equivalent to asking Hu Kun openly: "Are you an eunuch?"

"No, the staff officer is responsible for the planning, and there is no constraint on the commander-in-chief of the first army." Cheng Fu has already cultivated to a certain extent for Hu Kun to be the chief of staff, and he will not mess up his rhythm just because he can ask for a word: "If Zhizhou If you are interested in Chen Jiajun’s internal military position setting, I can send you a detailed explanation."

This sentence from Zhizhou can be regarded as a counterattack in half.

Zhe Keqiu, as the magistrate of the prefecture, now appears in Chang'an and actually controls Chang'an. Hu Kun is calling him for usurping power.

"What are your plans for coming here this time?" Zhe Keqiu would definitely not accept this question.

"The Zhao family lost its deer, and the situation in the northwest became unstable. The military government sent our army to protect the territory and the people, stop the Xixia and Tubo tribes from invading the Han people, and also straighten out the military affairs of Yongxing Military Road and Qinfeng Road." Hu Kun did not. Instead of using clichés like "I'm here to save you" to persuade Zhe Keqiu to surrender, he directly told Zhe Keqiu:

I, Chen Jiajun, want to fight for the artifact, and Yongxing Army Road is also one of our targets. You are blocking the way now.

"Now the Chang'an City of Jingzhao Prefecture is controlled by the Zhejia Army. General Sun Zhengsun, commander of the Kaifeng Group Army, asked me to come and ask Zhezhizhou how to open the door and surrender?"

The attitude is quite arrogant.

"Fart, you, Thief Chen, are trying to steal the artifact, and you also want our Zhe Family Army to surrender. That's your wishful thinking!" A young general next to him interrupted.

"That's right, my family has been guarding the frontier for hundreds of years, and my family is full of loyalty and loyalty. How can you rebels taint it?" There was more than one red-faced person.

However, the fact that Zhe Keqiu was sitting in the hall without speaking showed that this matter was actually something to discuss.

"General Zhe has already experienced the reputation of Chen Jiajun. We cooperated very well in Kaifeng before. I don't know what conditions General Zhe has now?" Hu Kun's words were very embarrassing.

You say you are loyal, but you withdrew from Kaifeng for the bounty, allowing the Chen Army to occupy Kaifeng.

This loyalty cannot stand!
"What can Chen Jiajun give us?" Zhe Keqiu asked.

Seeing that the general was starting to negotiate, the red-faced people who had just been shouting became quiet.

"No matter how high you are as a founding father, it depends on your achievements after defeating the generals." Hu Kun replied.

The meaning of this is that if Zhe Keqiu surrenders, Chen Jiajun will give him a position that matches his current position, so that he can have the capital to make achievements in the new country.

"In that case, I'm not bad now, why should I join you?" Zhe Keqiu asked.

"General Zhe, do you think you can protect your Zhe family army with Chang'an City?" Hu Kun asked back.

Zhe Keqiu means that my current status is high enough, and I am a substantial prince, but I have not been promoted by joining you?Hu Kun retorted, "Your current position is the same as before. Under Chen Jiajun's offensive, it means nothing if you can't keep it."

"Our Zhe family has been guarding the frontier for the Central Plains regime for generations, and it is the same here when I Zhe Keqiu. I only want the Hetao. As long as you promise to help me capture the Hetao, I will give up the city of Chang'an."

There are all kinds of harm in the Yellow River, but only wealth.

In the Mongolian occupation of Ordos in later generations, the Yellow River turned from north to south, forming a large circle, so it was called "Hetao".

Since ancient times, the Yellow River has always been an above-ground river because it carries a large amount of sediment. The middle and lower reaches have been flooded, and only the Hetao area has benefited.

The entire Hetao area is [-] miles long and a hundred miles wide, including Qiantao Plain, Houtao Plain, Yinchuan Plain and Tumochuan Plain.

The Hetao Plain has fertile soil, a well-developed irrigation system, long annual sunshine hours, and moderate rainfall. It is very suitable for growing crops such as wheat, rice, cereals, soybeans, and sorghum. It has been the most important grain-producing base in the Northwest since ancient times.

The reason why it can become a grain production base is mainly due to the complete irrigation system.

The irrigation history of the Hetao Plain can be traced back to the Qin and Han Dynasties. At that time, in order to strengthen control over the northwest region and resist the invasion of nomads, a large number of troops and immigrants were carried out (due to the short life of the Qin Dynasty, this work was mainly completed by the Han Dynasty) , in order to promote the smooth progress of reclamation, people at that time began to divert water from the Yellow River to irrigate farmland.

The Yellow River is located here in the Hetao. The water flow is gentle and the difficulty of diverting irrigation is low. If we can occupy this place, we can completely form a country of our own.

This requirement is not low.

Or it can be said that the lion opened his mouth.

The most important thing is that most of the Hetao Plain is now in the Xixia and Jin Kingdoms, and only a small section of Fuzhou is located in the Song Kingdom.

Zhe Keqiu's request was simply to let Chen Jiajun snatch a large piece of fat from the mouths of Xixia and Jin, and then give it to their Zhe family to enjoy.

"Since General Zhe is so insincere, let's get ready to fight." Hu Kun cupped his hands and saluted again after finishing speaking: "I just don't know how the Zhe family army is compared to the 20 gold army, whether it can hold the blade of our Chen family army, if not , the Zhe family army with hundreds of years of history has really become history."

"presumptuous!!"

“Bold!!”…

This naked threat immediately irritated the red-faced generals, and the shouts and curses rang out again.

"Incompetent and furious." Hu Kun could only mutter this in his heart and did not say it out loud, otherwise Zhe Keqiu would have to spare his life even if it was just to maintain his majesty in front of his men.

"Okay, be quiet!" Following Zhe Keqiu's scolding, those who were scolding Hu Kun finally stopped.

"It's impossible for me to accept your conditions for direct inclusion. Go back and tell Sun Zheng. If you want to talk, do it with sincerity." Zhe Keqiu told Hu Kun his bottom line.

Being able to say this means that we can talk. Hu Kun did not directly agree and turn back, but continued to persuade.

"This has nothing to do with General Sun's decision. It is impossible for the military government to allow the Chen family to exist on an independent mountaintop. It is impossible for the army to have one family name like the previous dynasty. This is the bottom line. Even if General Sun agrees to you, the military government will reject it." Hu Kun Explained: "So I advise General Zhe to get some more practical benefits. Even if you don't think about it now, you have to think about it for the future of the Zhe family."

"The Chen family's unification of China is unstoppable. This is a fact."

The last sentence shattered the last luck deep in the hearts of everyone present.
