Yelu Fugu saw that Xu Ding and they were all gone, and he couldn't help but curse more than once, so he stabbed a lance, forced Fu Hong away, and then returned to the horse to greet his own people, so he took the lead and thought it was an arrow, and rushed to the right.

Zhao Zhen also took the rest of the men and horses to chase and kill to the edge of the pheasant's head berth, seeing that Xu Ding took the fleet away, and the rest of the minions jumped into the water and were desperately chasing the big boat away, so he ordered: "All those who go into the water listen, come back immediately, spare you from death, otherwise you will be killed!" After speaking, he took a bow, and there was an arrow in the berth, which hit the back of a minion's heart, and the minions sank without shouting, and the blood floated up, dyeing the water red, and the rebels behind him also released arrows into the berth, killing and wounding seven or eight people, and the rest of the minions were so frightened that they shouted to surrender, and they re-ashore under the pressure of the bow and arrow, and knelt in a row along the river bank under the command of Shi Jun.

Ma Kuo came over, with shame on his face, and said, "The last general is incompetent, let that man escape." ”

Zhao Zhen said in his heart: "That Yelu servant Gushen can fight on par with Fu Hong, then he may also be a god general, how can you be his opponent." So he comforted him, and Ma Kuo couldn't help but feel a burst of gratitude.

At this time, Fu Hong and Lu Qing also came back with people and horses, and Zhao Zhen bowed to Fu Hong and said, "Mrs. Ma, if you hadn't rushed over, Lone would have died here." ”

Fu Hong smiled and said, "Your Highness, why are you still separated from the army?" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "It's hard to say. After telling him how he was left behind, Lu Qing shook his head on the side and said: "Although His Royal Highness is doing for military discipline, he has used a clumsy idea, but the king thinks about it, if there is something up and down this time, the people and horses are all in the king, won't the smoke be gone?" ”

Zhao Zhen also felt that this time was too careless, and after listening to Lu Qing's words at this time, he said sincerely: "What Lord Lu said is extremely true, but Zhao Zhen is reckless this time. ”

Although Lu Qing said Zhao Zhen, he didn't think that he would be able to respond, he must have known each other for a short time, and he spoke deeply, but Zhao Zhen couldn't help but nod with satisfaction as if he was humbly admonished, and said in his heart: "If this is the case, this king of faith can be a master who can be protected." ”

Fu Hong said: "Your Highness, this is not a place to stay for a long time, let's leave quickly." ”

Ma Kuo also said: "King, Wen Tong is still taking people and horses under the Inner Yellow City." ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at the pheasant head berth, Xu Ding had already taken those minions away without a trace, and although Xiahou Cheng did not get on the boat, he couldn't find it by relying on the hunter's ability to control the terrain, although the two culprits were not caught, which made Zhao Zhen very unwilling, but he also knew that it would be inappropriate to catch them again, so he nodded and said: "Okay, let's go back to Neihuang." ”

At that moment, Fu Hong and Ma Kuo gathered all the people to protect Zhao Zhen, Shi Jun, Qinghong, and Qingyu and went towards Neihuang, walking halfway, Qi Gong caught up, Ma Kuo led him to see Zhao Zhen again, Zhao Zhen was naturally comforted, and then rushed to Neihuang together.

Ma Kuo is the only horse army under Zhao Zhen, and Fu Hong's subordinates, 80 percent have livestock, although some people come down from mules and donkeys when they fight, as a foot army, but when they march, it is extremely fast, although the people of Gong Gong have no horses, but they are good at walking, and they are marching at a very fast pace, and when it is about noon, they will arrive outside the city of Neihuang County.

When the military horse arrived at the camp, but he didn't see Wen Da and Yue Yang coming out, Ma Kuo was about to scold, but a small colonel ran out, and shouted in front of Zhao Zhen's horse: "King, General Wen is going to commit suicide in the tent to apologize, General Yue is stopping him, and please ask the king to enter the camp." ”

Zhao Zhen frowned slightly, and said to Lu Qing: "My lord, you can walk in the camp first, and I will come when I go." ”

Lu Qing said: "Your Highness is just at your own convenience, I was just about to see His Highness's military situation." ”

At that moment, Zhao Zhen asked Ma Kuo to accompany Lu Qing, and at the same time settled Fu Hong, Qi Gong's men and horses, and Wang Yin, and he was led by the junior colonel to the camp, and he went to Wenda's big tent.

Before he could go in, he heard Yue Yang speaking in the tent: "If you want to die, you have to wait for King Xin to come back, otherwise how can I explain." ”

Wenda gritted his teeth and shouted: "I am guilty of great crimes, what face do I have to see the king again!" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled outside the tent: "Wen Tong, what are you guilty of?" Faceless and lonely. As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and entered the big tent, and saw Yue Yang desperately holding Wenda, who was struggling with a sword in his hand.

When Yue Yang saw Zhao Zhen coming in, he let go of Wenda and said, "The last general has seen King Xin." ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "You go down first." Yue Yang didn't say much, so he went out of the tent, Wen Da was full of shame, lost his sword, knelt down, and said, "Sin will see the king of faith!" ”

Zhao Zhen pulled Wen Da up and said: "It's Lone's own decision, what does it have to do with you, and I heard Ma Zichong say, if you didn't arrive with people and horses, then Yue Yang and Ma Zichong would have been harmed by Liu Qi, this is a big achievement, even if you have it, this skill will be over." ”

Wenda still couldn't let go, so he said: "King, although it is a night march, it is normal to be lost, but Wenda has lost you, that is Wenda has no brains, how can he explain it." ”

Zhao Zhen said calmly: "Today, it's already like this, we want to drive the Jin people out, then it is inevitable that there will be danger, I am afraid that there will be more dangerous times than this in the future, Lone should be careful in the future, and will not be in danger again, but once something happens, you don't have to be like this, when Emperor Taizu Wude has been in battle for a long time, but there is not even a single injury, if you are blessed, you should be safe, if you are lonely, if you are blessed, if you are lonely, what is the benefit." ”

"What His Highness said is extremely true!" Someone outside the tent answered, and then the curtain was opened, and Lu Qing walked in, first saluted Zhao Zhen, and said; "If Your Highness wants to prosper, you must go through thorns and injuries all over your body before you can achieve a great cause, but Your Highness is the master of an army, but he was left behind by his generals, which can be big or small, but it must not be ignored, otherwise the three armies will not focus on His Highness, how can the army rely on it?"

Wen Da's face changed, and Zhao Zhen also hurriedly said: "Lord Lu, if it is ......." Lu Qing smiled and waved his hand and said: "Your Highness's meaning Lu Qing knows that General Wen is a general, so it is not a good strategy to abandon it like this, it is better to punish thirty military sticks in front of the army, and explain that Lord Wen has made meritorious contributions to the two generals of Yue Yang and Ma Kuo, so he is exempted from the death penalty, but let him make a military order, and within three days, take Neihuang." ”

Zhao Zhen was still embarrassed and said: "Lord Lu, within three days, take Neihuang, I'm afraid it's unlikely, right?" ”

Ma Kuo flashed out on the side, and said a few words in Zhao Zhen's ear, Zhao Zhen's eyes couldn't help but light up, and said, "That's good, according to Lord Lu's opinion." ”

At the moment, Ma Kuo went out to gather generals, but gathered the army, read out Wen Da's mistakes in front of the army, and then let Wen Da set up a military order, and received thirty military sticks, Zhao Zhen was only afraid of being broken, and secretly ordered, only thirty sticks were beaten, this military stick hit people is a real stick, hit the coat, and the strength is not as good as or less than the flesh is a false stick, and the left stick hits the right ground, the right stick hits the left ground, the thing is the first stick, and it can't hurt anyone at all, but Yue Yang saw that Wen Da received the military stick, or his heart was cold, he originally thought that Zhao Zhen would inevitably return to protect Wen Da, then he will be fine, and now that he sees Wenda receiving the punishment, although Zhao Zhen did not blame him, he also accepted his arrogance and did not dare to do anything wrong.

After the arrangement, the army made a meal and had a full meal, due to the uneven food and straw in the army, Zhao Zhen did not let people make him alone, but just let his subordinates beat a pheasant and came back to stew and add vegetables to entertain Lu Qing, even if it was to give them the wind, Ma Kuo, Wen Da, and Yue Yang all knew that Zhao Zhen had something to say to Lu Qing, and there was Fu Hong on the table, so they did not come to the same table with Zhao Zhen.

After Zhao Zhen invited Lu Qing to use a few spoons, he took the water bowl and said: "Lord Lu, there is no wine in the army, so I will replace it with water, and I will give you a glass." Lu Qing took a sip with Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen said: "Your Excellency has also seen the situation in our army just now, if there is anything wrong, please let me know." ”

Lu Qing glanced at Fu Hong, Fu Hong picked up the big bowl of stewed chicken, first pulled half a bowl for himself, and then sandwiched a thigh for Shi Jun, and then pulled him away, Lu Qing said helplessly to Zhao Zhen: "The little girl is reckless and rude, please don't blame Your Highness." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Mrs. Ma is informal, it is the ancient style of Beidi Yan Zhao, and she has the true inheritance of adults. ”

Lu Qing smiled and said, "It's just a little woman's words, and it shouldn't be true." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Qing with blazing eyes, and said, "Then please correct Zhao Zhen!" ”

Lu Qing smiled and said: "Your Highness's people, thanks to meeting Liu Qi's straw bag, otherwise it would be difficult to take a step!" This army, the order is unknown, the soldiers are at a loss, if they meet a famous general, the defeat is only an overnight thing. ”

Zhao Zhen listened attentively, and Lu Qing said: "The army has seventeen laws and fifty-four beheadings, but there is no one in His Highness's army, so Yue Yang dares to privately own the army, and several traps of the whole army are in danger, the army has no king's heart, the upper does not know the general, and the lower does not know the school, so Wenda lost His Royal Highness on the road, and His Royal Highness should now reorganize his army first, and then go on a conquest." ”

Zhao Zhen said embarrassedly: "Xiao Wang also knows that this group of people is so inappropriate, but they are lent to Gu by my uncle, and there are many places where it is difficult to speak." ”

"The king of faith is wrong in what he said." Lu Qing said: "Could it be that in the future, when the King of Wei comes to ask for it, His Royal Highness will return none of these horses and horses?" What about the dead? ”

Zhao Zhen was stuck, and then couldn't help but smile and said: "Yes, what the adults said is very true, but it is Xiao Wang who is bad, so I don't know how to change, please teach me." ”

"Your Highness has to do three things now, first, take down Neihuang and establish prestige, so that in the next changes, the armies will have nothing to say, second, clarify the powers of the army, perform their duties, and reward the officials, so that the generals can know their affairs and have upward momentum, third, with the current situation of the king, it can only be based on mobility, so the reward of official positions should not be too complicated, only to act cheaply, and my Great Song Army will be rewarded, too complicated, and it is not conducive to His Royal Highness's use of the army, but according to the ancient rites, it will make the generals at a loss, and it is not easy for them to cooperate with friendly forces, so how to serve still needs to be discussed. ”

Zhao Zhen listened attentively, and when he saw Lu Qing pause, he hurriedly said, "Then don't you need to use the prison army?" ”

Lu Qing smiled and said: "The supervisor of the army, he can't know the soldiers, so he has no choice but to set it up, and now His Highness's men and horses add up to only five thousand, all of which are under His Royal Highness's own control, so why use the prison army." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, and said: "Most of the soldiers and horses are my uncle's subordinates, and they will definitely not believe in me in a short time. ”

Lu Qing said: "In the hands of His Royal Highness, there are three ways of people, the subordinates of the King of Wei, the righteous army in the hands of the lower officials, and the righteous army of the lower officials, His Royal Highness can organize them into three branches, the righteous army in the hands of the lower officials, the golden people and the official horses are a lot, and the people and horses of the King of Wei can be combined into a battalion of horse army, this battalion of people and horses is mainly the righteous army in the hands of the lower officials, and the people and horses of the King of Wei are supplemented, so that the people and horses of the King of Wei can be changed, and His Royal Highness can be relied on as a confidant, and another; The majority of the infantry troops under the Wei Wang's foot can be mixed with the men and horses of the lower officials and the beggars, as eyes and ears, monitor their words, do not let Yue Yang command the army, and set up a battalion of the pro-army, first, so as not to have such a thing in the future, and second, to transfer Yueyang away, not to let him manage the army, this time the army's heart can be collected, and the military order is feasible. ”

Zhao Zhen was extremely excited when he heard this, so he grabbed the water bowl and drank it all and said: "It's a pity that there is no wine here, otherwise just the words of adults will be able to float a lot." ”

Lu Qing said: "Although Hebei is good, but since Xuanhe broke through Liao, Hebei has experienced military disasters for a long time, and the grain and grass in the state capitals are almost used, and the Jin soldiers went south, and the spring ploughing can not be implemented, and when it comes to July and August, Hebei will have a food shortage, so the military horses can guerrilla in Hebei, but they can not take root in Hebei, it is best to cross the Yellow River in the south, and the troops enter Shandong, Shandong is located in Jingdong Road, where the grain and grass are still there, and the gold soldiers are also limited, and Jingdong has been in turmoil since Song Jiang, and there have been many thieves in the state, and the big households in the states have been in order to protect themselves. Many dock forts, extensive grain accumulation, plus they enclosed the land and farmers in the dock forts, so that spring ploughing could be carried out, as long as a few places were opened, it was enough to supply our army, so at a certain time, it was still necessary to go south. ”

Zhao Zhen was silent, Lu Qing got closer, and said: "Your Highness, and now the Great Song Dynasty, there are only you and the official family, and the official family obviously has no intention of going north, and the intention of fleeing south at any time has undoubtedly appeared, His Royal Highness's actions in the north, even if there is blame, the official family cannot blame His Royal Highness, as long as His Royal Highness is willing to do things, in the future, the official family will not blame His Highness." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Qing and said, "What if the official family blames?" ”

When Lu Qing heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Zhao Zhen, met Zhao Zhen's gaze, pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Highness bears the hatred of the country and the family, you should have the courage to do things, and the heart to act, as for the afterlife, it depends on the two saints in the north, and you shouldn't scruple about it." ”

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but be slightly disappointed when he heard this, Lu Qing's words avoided the important and trivialized, and the other also showed that he did not support him to compete for the throne, which made Zhao Zhen inevitably a little disappointed, but thinking about this time, Lu Qing was the most available person around him, and couldn't help but secretly said: "Cao Mengde has the intention to usurp the Han, Xun Yu is against it, but it is the two of them who joined forces to create the Great Wei world, how will it be in the future, let's talk about it later." So he said to Lu Qing: "What the adults said, Gu Du remembered, but just now Ma Zichong said that he could break the inner yellow on the same day, but why?" ”

Lu Qing smiled and said: "Everything is on that Gong Gong, when His Royal Highness entered the camp just now, Xia Guan had already arranged for him to sneak into Neihuang, and he would definitely be able to break the city." ”

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing: "That is the case, I will salute the adult with water again, and wait until the inner yellow is broken, and Xiao Wang will use wine to salute the adult!" As he spoke, he poured a bowl full of water for the two of them, held it high, and saluted another bowl to Lu Qing.
