Chapter 20: Splashing Dirty Water
"Well, Zhanzhang will temporarily take over until the new guard of the court arrives.
Lord Zhou is a filial son, Xiao Lizi, and recorded the filial piety of Lord Zhou today.
Signed by Lord Zhou, the prince will inherit the emperor and give praise when he has the opportunity. Zhao Xingchen patted Zhou Chengchun's shoulder with a smile on his face, and Zhou Chengchun's legs were about to sit on the ground as soon as they were weak again.
However, he was grabbed by Zhao Xingchen, and said with a smile, "Lord Zhou, you are busy with official business, and your body is a little weak, so you have to make up for it." Come and give the palace tonic to Lord Zhou. I have made up for the strength and good work. ”
"Yes, yes, I've been too tired lately, and my body is weak, thank you for the reward from the Eighth Prince. Zhou Chengchun nodded hurriedly.
"Kill the garrison, scare the too much, initially establish authority, and get 5 points for merit. The voice of indifference came again.
In the afternoon, Zhao Xingchen led people to inspect the river defense.
"Shuwen, did you publicize the Qinglou incident in the morning?" Standing by the Cangjiang River, Zhao Xingchen asked.
"I've already sent someone to publicize it, but, master, what are you ruining your reputation for?" Li Shuwen asked with some puzzlement.
"Hehe, please enter the urn. Zhao Xingchen smiled.
"The master wants to lure the enemy deeper, this is too dangerous. Our foothold is not stable, if the Chu army attacks, won't we ask for trouble?" Li Shuwen was suddenly shocked.
"I'm sure that even if I don't let out the news, the Chu army will also attack.
Because, they don't think well of me.
It's better to make a bigger incident come out, and completely let our opponents see that I am a half-stupid prince who can't be supported.
At that time, our opponents will be eager to make meritorious contributions, and they will not bring a large number of people over.
Let's do a vote first, suppress their spirit, and increase our own momentum. Zhao Xingchen said.
"Well, we've heard a lot of gossip as soon as we arrived.
Spread the word everywhere that you are a stupid person, a half-stupid, and you can't even kill a chicken.
If you don't understand military affairs, how can you lead troops to war, etc.
This is probably the second prince's ghost again, and they want to make our military spirit scatter. Li Shuwen nodded.
"You also saw it during the inspection just now, our Zhao Jun is worried.
One by one, they are listless and disobedient to discipline.
Can such a soldier win a battle?
I thought about it, it's not that our soldiers have a problem, it's that they don't believe me at all.
Therefore, killing Gong Tong is the first step of Liwei, and the second step, we need a small victory to grow our momentum, and the second time to establish the prestige of my Zhao Xingchen.
Otherwise, although I beheaded Gong Tong, I temporarily deterred them.
However, they are not convinced, who will really listen to me?
If you have a big battle, you will lose!" Zhao Xingchen snorted.
"By the way, General Zhan, how is the Tiangang Beidou Great Array starting to train?"
"I started training two days before the expedition, with the Xiao Riding Camp as the core.
We were divided into multiple groups and formed a number of small Tiangang Beidou Arrays.
And multiple small formations can form a large Tiangang Beidou Array.
In the morning, after Zhanzhang took over the Dongyang garrison camp, he immediately adjusted the personnel strength.
So far, some of them have been selected to join our training. Zhan Cangyun nodded.
"I cooperated with Cui Tianshou here, based on the soldiers of Lianyun Village, and selected a hundred personal guards to form Tiangang Beidou. Of course, our priority is to protect you, the Eighth Prince. Qin Shi said.
"Intensify training, it's estimated that it's been two days, maybe tomorrow night. Looking at the other side, Zhao Xingchen said.
"The Dongyang garrison is quite a headache. Zhan Cangyun suddenly interjected.
"Zhao Gang is disobedient?" Zhao Xingchen asked.
"He also has five grades, and I also have five grades, I am General Flying Tiger, he is General Flying Eagle, how can you serve me?" Zhan Cangyun said with some embarrassment.
"Let's go, go to the garrison barracks. Zhao Xingchen said.
"Report, as soon as Zhao Bansil arrived in Chiya, he was jealous of the garrison Gong Tong for a woman in a green house, and he fought hard.
As a result, Gong Shoubei was actually killed by Zhao Xingchen's men.
That murderous subordinate is actually a mountain bandit leader. ”
At this time, on the other side of Chiya, the general of Chu Zhengyuan's 'Chu Zhaonan' camp tent, and his spies were reporting on the affairs of river defense.
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting!" Chu Zhaonan immediately laughed when he heard it.
"This Zhao is half stupid, what a fool who can't be helped. I can't figure out if Zhao Zhennan's brain was kicked by the donkey, how could he be asked to come down and take command to defend the Red Cliff Heavy Land. General Luo Li shook his head and said.
"The defense area is not wide, and it is only thirty or forty miles of the river.
And it was Zhan Cangyun who was sent, this person is a model of defense.
Back then, he defended the Black Emperor City for a year, and it is estimated that the idea of fighting was to strictly defend it. Military advisor Hong Chiyun shook his fan and said.
"Confess, while their foothold is not stable, Zhao Bansil doesn't understand anything, selects the elite, and raids Chiya.
Once the openings were torn and the fortress was taken, the army came and drove straight in.
Take the Eight Cities of Youhai directly, and then counterattack Dongyang City......" Chu Zhaonan slapped the table and threw out a piece of arrow.
"There can't be too many sneak attackers, otherwise, it will be ineffective if you find out. As long as Zhao Bansil is caught and the dock fortress is occupied, it will be easy to do as soon as our army arrives. "Hong Chi Yundao.
"Zhao Gang is a member of the royal family, but his life is not good, his mother Ye Yu was not born well, and she is a courtesan in Qinglou.
Father Zhao Rong, Tiandong Province according to the inspector of the adult.
should have been promoted to governor a long time ago, but someone in the court grabbed his father and talked about the prostitution in the Qinglou back then.
Because, back then, Zhao Rong and Ye Yu had a lot of trouble.
Therefore, Zhao Rong has not been promoted.
The family blamed Ye Yu for this, Ye Yu soon died of depression, and Zhao Gang became a motherless child.
He was bullied by others, but he was very competitive. Ten years have passed, and the dignified martial champion has only been awarded the title of 'Flying Eagle General'.
Moreover, if you put Chiya far away, you will be guarding it for seven or eight years, and you will not have the opportunity to return to Beijing.
This has something to do with the family's cold eyes and deliberate suppression by the old rivals of the father's father in the DPRK.
However, he is also a member of the royal family, his heart is higher than the sky, and his life is thinner than paper.
This person is full of resentment, and he has the ability, but he can't be reused.
Therefore, when General Zhan passed, he looked down on General Zhan at all.
thinks that he was born in the royal family, but in fact, he is not much better than General Zhan. Yu Hai leaned over and whispered.
"In this way, this person is quite tricky. Li Shuwen nodded.
"Zhao Gang has grievances, and Xie Ling still has to be a bell person. If you can't do it, you can only use a 'soft knife'. Zhao Xingchen said.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the garrison camp, Zhao Gang didn't come out to greet him.
"This Zhao Gang is too much, he actually asked the prince to go to the tent. Luo Zuo said angrily.
"When you get down to the tent, you are waiting, and I will go in alone." Zhao Xingchen waved his hand.
"How can that be? Zhao Gang is said to be quite arrogant. You are tall and tall, what will you do if you lose your temper and hurt your master? Qin Shi shook his head and said.
"No matter how good Zhao Gang is, do you dare to attack this prince? He is no matter how good he is, he is also a member of the royal family. Zhao Xingchen's face was blank, Qin Shi didn't dare to be long-winded anymore, so Zhao Xingchen himself slowly entered the main army tent.
"Drink, come again, let's get drunk today!" As soon as he stepped into the tent, he heard Zhao Gang's bold voice.
Zhao Xingchen found that Zhao Gang was drinking with a few of his subordinates.
"Why didn't you say it earlier, I'll participate too. Zhao Xingchen said with a smile.
