Chapter 33: The Dagger of the Son of Heaven
"My father doesn't give soldiers, I know that the north is unstable, and the eastern territory is eyeing it.
My father is helpless, and I don't blame him.
However, if you don't give soldiers, you always have to give power, right?
Otherwise, you see, I just asked Zhao Gang to go to the hidden sea.
Asking them to rush to Chiya within two days is already considered to be generous, but General Sun is a little procrastinating. Zhao Xingchen said.
"Alas...... Discuss the affairs of your own brothers. Ding Qiu sighed, in fact, he was reminding Zhao Xingchen.
"At the moment, I don't care about brotherhood. In everything, state affairs are the most important. However, I need 'military power'. Zhao Xingchen said.
"The emperor gave you a letter last time, which can be displayed when appropriate. If you don't obey again, this time the emperor will ask me to bring you something. Ding Qiu said, took out a short dagger from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Xingchen and said, "Use it well, don't abuse it! ”
"Son of Heaven Dagger!" Zhao Xingchen glanced at it, and suddenly his heart trembled, lying down, making a lot of money.
This dagger is carved with a dragon, noble and atmospheric, it is not a simple divine weapon, but used by the emperor, which is equivalent to a miniature version of the 'Shang Fang Sword'.
You can cut it first and then play it, of course, if you mess around, it's also a capital offense.
"Lord Ding, it's rare for you to come to Dongyang, I have time tomorrow night, go to Dongyang City Tianyin Fang to sit down. There was just a courtesan there, named Qi Huanyu, and the piano was played superbly, and it was a heavenly sound. Zhao Xingchen put away the dagger and said with a smile.
"You're still interested in listening to music at this juncture, or not. Ding Qiu's face was blank and he said, "I know that you young people, young people are hot-blooded, and you like Yingge Yan Dance." However, it also depends on the timing. After the Battle of Red Cliff is over, you can listen to and dance as much as you want. ”
"There's something 'special' about that prayer girl, I can't guess it. Zhao Xingchen said.
"Alright, I'll go with you and have a look. "Ding Qiu is not a fool, as soon as he heard that there seemed to be 'material', he immediately nodded.
In the evening, when practicing, Zhao Xingchen found that this innate skill really had some miraculous effects.
Originally, with the strength of his Great Innate Three Rank Realm, the innate qi that could be destroyed could be about a foot away from his body at most.
However, when he switched to using the innate power to destroy again, the air attack ability actually reached a range of about five zhang, which was a full expansion of half a zhang.
Don't underestimate this half-zhang, it is an attack range that requires the four-rank realm to reach.
In the past, when he was in the Innate First Rank Realm, the attack range of his innate skill growth was only about one foot at most.
When it reaches the third grade realm, it will reach half a zhang, and if the skill is improved to five or six grades, wouldn't it increase even more?
In this way, it seems that he has given himself the ability to attack beyond the realm.
"Lao Ba's small victory actually made his father so happy, he couldn't let him continue. Otherwise, we will steal all the limelight from him. The second prince, Zhao Deyang, said with a gloomy face.
"Love the house and Wu, therefore, all his subordinates were stained, and even Luo Zuo, a little congenital weakling, was promoted. It's not a good thing to go on like this in the long run. Tian Fang hummed.
"Inform Zhou Chengchun that he has to be asked to do something. Otherwise, the eighth is too beautiful. Zhao Deyang said.
"Zhou Chengchun has become a frightened bird, and it is estimated that he does not have the courage to compete with the eighth child. A small fight can't hurt the old man's bones, it's not toxic and not a husband, the second prince, it's time to make up your mind. The third manager, Zhao Zhen, said with a grim face.
"It's better to wait, the eighth will be able to jump again, but he's just that little bit of a horse.
What's more, Sun Lingpeng is still our person, and he can't do anything.
At that time, Chu Zhaonan launched an all-out attack, and the eighth would be defeated.
When the time comes, it's better to take advantage of the chaos. ”
Zhao Deyang waved his hand and said, "However, a small fight has to be tossed, at least it will make the old eight upset and take care of one or the other." ordered Zhou Chengchun to give some strength. Otherwise, watch his head!"
"Let Sun Lingpeng go to Chiya first, take the opportunity to pick something out, and add a fire. Tian Fangdao.
"Hmm. ”
"The eighth is really lucky, he actually hit him with great luck. Why is Chu Zhaonan so stupid?" At this moment, the fourth prince Zhao Qinghe was also sitting in the army tent with a gloomy face.
"This is a good thing, but the eighth can't escape defeat after all. Therefore, it is the right topic to save the life of the eighth child. The fifth prince Zhao Feng said.
"My second brother probably can't sit still, right?" said Zhao Qinghe with a smile.
"It's estimated that there will be a shot in the near future. Zhao Feng said.
"Send someone to keep an eye on it, help those who can, at least, let the eighth child live. Zhao Qinghe snorted.
"Understood. Zhao Feng nodded.
The next morning, the tenth prince Zhao Hao actually came to Chiya.
Because, his defensive section of the river is in the lower reaches of the Zhao Qing River, and the two of them are actually next to each other.
Of course, the Ten Princes were only a few days younger than Zhao Xingchen.
Therefore, the river defense task assigned to him by the emperor was only forty miles of river length.
However, if the city gate is on fire, it will definitely affect the fish in the pond.
Chu Zhaonan is violent, once he crosses the river, Chiya is lost, and the Ten Princes will definitely suffer.
In fact, the two were tethered to grasshoppers in the same boat.
It's just that the Ten Princes are on the south side, and they are not as good as Zhao Xingchen being the first to bear the brunt, which is just slightly better.
"Starling, brother, I want to congratulate you on your victory. Zhao Hao congratulated with a smile as soon as he entered the account.
"Luck, luck. Zhao Xingchen smiled and asked the Ten Princes to sit down.
"Alas...... Starling, the other side is menacing, brother and I can't sleep at night, and I am worried all day long. Zhao Hao's face was bitter and sad.
"You have more troops over there than me, Chu Zhaonan is mainly targeting Chiya as a breakthrough, what are you worried about?" Zhao Xingchen said deliberately.
"Where? Chu Zhaonan really broke the red cliff, can I still hold on to Chinan?
Under the nest, how can there be eggs?
Starling, you hurry up and think of a way.
Otherwise, you and I will be unlucky together. Zhao Hao was anxious.
"Tenth brother, if you have trusted, lend me half of the troops. Zhao Xingchen said.
"That's ...... If Chu Zhaonan attacks to the flank and south, I will lose half of my troops, how can I defend Chinan?" Zhao Hao shook his head and said.
"The terrain on the south side is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
There are mountains all over you, and the cliffs are steep and high.
However, once my side is breached, Chu Zhaonan will turn around and attack the outside from the inside, you will definitely not be able to defend it, tenth brother.
Therefore, for today's plan, it is the right way to protect the red cliff first. Zhao Xingchen said.
"Well, let me think about it. Zhao Hao said with a deep sigh.
"If Chu Zhaonan mainly attacks Chinan, our side can come over immediately to assist in the defense.
Chu Zhaonan's brain would not attack China, so he could only protect Chiya and Chinan by giving half of his troops to the Eighth Prince.
Actually, the two princes, you are both in the same boat.
And the second prince and the fourth prince have a lot of soldiers, and the terrain is not bad, but it is different. Li Shuwen said.
"Tenth brother, look, a few days ago, the eight hundred elites of Chu Zhaonan dared to attack my South Cliff.
Why don't you attack you?
Chu Zhaonan understood that if he wanted to attack Chinan, he would need at least 30,000 troops, and it would be difficult to capture it.
Therefore, I can't hold it, and you will lose it.
Guarding Chiya is guarding Chinan, tenth brother, you can't hesitate any longer.
Otherwise, how could my father give this to me?
It shows that the father also knows the danger of the red cliff and the importance of the red cliff.
However, there are really no more troops to adjust.
Therefore, I can only be given the right, and when the time comes, find a way to transfer troops from elsewhere. ”
Zhao Hao couldn't easily divide half of his troops, and Zhao Xingchen simply showed the 'Son of Heaven Dagger'.
Because, Zhao Hao's side has 15,000 troops, and there are seven or eight thousand in half, which is not a small force.
