Chapter 407: The Chief General of the Water Army
Chai Rong's face sank, "You mean that Zhao Kuangyin will be self-reliant?" ”
"No!" Wang Pu hurriedly explained: "The minister and General Zhao have been friends for many years, he is generous, generous and bold, the minister admires him very much, and I believe that he will never have different intentions. ”
"And what do you mean?" Chai Rong frowned.
Wang Pu considered the wording: "The minister thinks that the problem is that General Zhao is too lenient, there are too many people in the army who have personal friends with him and have received favors from him, and there are capable people like Zhao Pu under him, if the situation in the north is unfavorable in the future, even if he does not want to stand on his own, his subordinates are likely to support him to stand on his own." ”
"You're done?"
Wang Pu was stunned for a moment: "...... That's it. ”
"I have heard your words, and the edict will not be changed, so go down."
Wang Pu was silent for a moment, bowed his head and said, "The minister knows." ”
After he left, Chai Rong saw Feng Dao smiling and asked, "What is Feng Qing laughing at?" ”
"The minister is thinking, Prime Minister Wang is really confused this time."
"Oh? Where is he confused? ”
Feng Dao smiled: "If the war in the north of Your Majesty is unfavorable and you can't resist the Khitans, I'm afraid the country will perish, what does it matter if Zhao Kuangyin is not self-reliant?" If His Majesty defeated the Khitans, Zhao Kuangyin would not dare to stand on his own. ”
Chai Rong was noncommittal, and said lightly: "Okay, I want to calm down, you can also retreat." ”
"The minister retired."
After Feng Dao left, Chai Rong's face became a little solemn, and Wang Pu had a sentence just now that impressed him deeply - Zhao Kuangyin was too generous!
Why is he so generous to others, just because of his personality? Or is it intentional?
However, Feng Dao's guess was right, for him, the biggest enemy at the moment is the Liao State, the other party is menacing, if he is a little careless, I am afraid it will be the disaster of destroying the country.
At the same time, Feng Dao, who had left the palace, returned to the mansion and wrote a letter overnight, telling Zhao Pu about Wang Pu's persuasion of Chai Rong.
He is like a cunning rabbit, looking for a way out for himself all the time, although the probability is very small, but as long as Zhao Kuangyin gains power in the future, this letter is his entry step.
Two days later, Zhao Kuangyin led 30,000 forbidden troops to march south.
And the edict of Zhou ordering Wu to attack Tang went to Hangzhou first.
During this period of time, Lu Yuan was vigorously developing his strength, expanding the army, building ships, researching firearms, and developing commerce, but he was too busy to pay attention to Zhou Guo's orders.
However, nominally he belonged to the subject state of Zhou after all, and it was not good to do nothing, so he ordered Meng Xiao to lead the Third Army to the border of Huzhou to station.
Now the First Army defended Hui'an Fu and Muzhou, the Second Army defended Yuezhou and Mingzhou, and after the Third Army was transferred, only the Forbidden Army and the Fourth Army remained around Hangzhou.
Recently, Lu Yuan found that the recruitment speed of his army was far faster than expected, especially the army stationed in Hangzhou, which was extremely fast with the large population base of Hangzhou.
This also gave Lu Yuan the idea of building another naval army.
After consulting with Qin Youyu, he decided to divide the forbidden army into a naval army and an army, with a quota of 30,000 each, and Qin Youyu was still responsible for training.
The Fourth Army trained the Navy, while the Forbidden Army, practiced on the Qiantang River.
Qin Youyu had never been in contact with the navy, and he was not good at it, so he pondered that he wanted to find someone who was good at water warfare to help him train.
In the past few days, she asked Zhao Zhen to take all the files of Wu Yueguo's generals, and she focused on Tang Bian's files, and after reading it, she admired this person a little more.
Tang Bian has almost never lost a battle since his debut, and it is a pity that such a talent has not been promoted in Wu Yueguo.
However, the purpose of Qin You's edict was not to persuade Tang Bian to surrender, and from Qing Yuanjun's failure to surrender this person, she saw that it was very difficult for this person to betray Wu Yueguo.
What she cares about is Tang Bian's opponents, including the battle in which he captured Yu Xun alive.
From the archives, it can be seen that Tang Bian was able to defeat Yu Xun for a large objective reason.
At the beginning, Wu Yue had a total of 5,000 sailors, and Yu Xun only had a few hundred, and he was entangled by Tang Bian with 500 people after getting rid of other sailors in Wu Yueguo, which caused others to surround him.
Continuing to look down, a name caught her attention.
Zhu Long - a pirate at the same time as Yu Xun, but this person is not as famous as Yu Xun, but he is extremely cunning, even Yu Xun was captured by Wu Yueguo, and he is safe.
In the end, Wu Yueguo had no choice but to recruit him.
After serving as an official in Wu Yueguo for two years, he resigned and retired, and his whereabouts are unknown.
Qin Youyu immediately became interested in this person, and after pondering for a moment, she wrote a letter and said to Zhao Zhen, who was standing on the side, "Help me send this letter to General Yu, the salt official." ”
……
Hangzhou, Lin'an.
Shi Chongxin carried his burden and walked on the streets, admiring the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
Along the way, all kinds of news came in one after another, as if the whole world was in chaos.
Among so much news, he only cared about the news of Hui'an Mansion and Zhou State.
The former Hui'an Mansion has now been named the State of Wu, and Lu Yuan has been named the Lord of the State of Wu. In addition, not long ago, Wu State conquered Yuezhou and Heming Prefecture, and now the territory has expanded to five states, which makes Shi Chongxin feel very excited.
The news of the Zhou State in the north was not very good, not only the Liao State attacked on a large scale, but even the Tang State took the opportunity to attack, and the situation was very critical.
But it's useless to worry, only to enter the officialdom of Wu as soon as possible and help King Wu pacify Jiangnan, and then can he think about the affairs of the north again, Shi Chong thought confidently.
Just as he was thinking, a scream rang out.
"Someone! Someone robbed! ”
Shi Chongxin looked for prestige, and saw that it was a woman who was dressed quite luxuriously, and there was a maid by her side, and the maid couldn't stop shouting.
Shi Chongxin walked over quickly, "What's wrong?" ”
At the same moment, another man's voice rang out: "Who robbed it?" ”
Shi Chongxin turned his head to look at the question, and it was a heroic man in Tsing Yi who was questioning.
The woman pointed in one direction, stamped her foot, and said, "My bracelet has been snatched away, and the thief has fled that way!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Chongxin and the man in Tsing Yi chased in the direction the woman pointed.
The two were almost neck and neck, Shi Chongxin gradually developed a sense of competition and sped up a little speed, but as soon as the man in Tsing Yi fell behind, he quickly caught up and still kept pace with him.
Shi Chongxin was slightly surprised, and at this moment, he saw a thin man running wildly in front of him, presumably it was a thief.
Shi Chongxin and the man in Tsing Yi quickly chased after him, and after a while, he caught up with the thin man, pressed him to the ground, and found a jade bracelet from him.
"The two heroes spare their lives, the villain stole this bracelet to treat his mother, and beg the two heroes not to send the villain to the government!" The skinny man begged for mercy.
"What's wrong with your mother?" Shi Chongxin frowned.
"Wind chill."
Shi Chongxin was about to ask again, but the man in Tsing Yi next to him threw out a small ingot of silver: "Let's go to your mother's doctor." ”
"Thank you! Thank you, good guy! The thin man thanked him twice, turned and fled.
Shi Chongxin looked at the man in Tsing Yi and asked, "Why don't you wait for me to finish asking?" What if he is telling a lie? ”
"If it's fake, I'll only lose a tael of silver, and if it's true, I can cure his mother's illness." The man in Tsing Yi said lightly.
Shi Chongxin shook his head: "You are wrong, if he is lying, you are doing this to encourage him to continue to rob and deceive people in the future." Only by sending him to the yamen and making him realize his mistake will it be possible for him to correct it. ”
The man in Tsing Yi turned his head to look at him, was silent for a moment, and said, "What you say is reasonable." ”
Shi Chongxin suddenly had a good impression of him, and said with a smile: "Meeting is fate, why don't you and I go for a drink together?" ”
"You have to return the bracelet first, right?" The man in Tsing Yi shook the bracelet with it.
"Hahaha, that's what I said, my name is Shi Chongxin, I don't know my brother's surname?"
"Zhu Ji."
"Okay, Brother Zhu, you and I will go and return this bracelet first, and then go drink!"
Just as the two of them were returning to the original road, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly surrounded them, Shi Chongxin was feeling strange, and among the officers and soldiers, a man in military uniform with a helmet walked out.
This man is extremely majestic.
Shi Chongxin's eyes flickered when he saw him, he didn't expect that there was such a figure in Jiangnan.
"Are you thieves who rob?" The stout man asked.
Zhu Ji said in a deep voice: "We are helping to catch the thief, and the bracelet has been snatched back by us." ”
The man in military uniform stared at the two of them twice, and smiled: "In this case, you can leave your lost property behind." ”
"Boss, they may be lying, so it's better to wait for the owner to come and then let them go." Said a sergeant behind the man.
"Have you ever seen a thief like this?" The man in uniform glared at his subordinates.
Zhu Ji handed over the bracelet and said softly, "Brother Shi, let's go." ”
Shi Chongxin lowered his eyelids and said, "What the military master said just now is right, let's wait for the lost master to come!" ”
The man in uniform raised his eyebrows: "What, are you afraid that I won't be able to make this bracelet?" ”
