Chapter 220: Heart Knot

Zhao Yu had good luck today, and he caught a few fish without much effort. Seeing that there was another fish on the hook, but others couldn't pull it at all, but they were pulled by the fish, and they almost got off the boat, so they could only abandon the rod. Zheng Yong volunteered to pick up a harpoon and go into the water to chase him, but he waved his hand to stop him, and let the big fish drag the rod away. But in this way, he was not interested, and ordered the ship to be docked.

Wang De knew that His Royal Highness did not want to go back, so he had already ordered people to set up a few pergolas under the shade of the trees on the shore, spread felt mats, put up a long table, and light artemisia grass around to drive away mosquitoes, and on the other side, he had already lit a charcoal stove to boil water and make tea. As soon as the prince came ashore, he instructed the cook to scrape the scales and clear the scales of the fish caught by His Highness, and cook them in the pot.

Of course, these few fish caught by Zhao Yu alone are not enough for so many people to eat, but fortunately, everyone didn't count on him, and there were already guards who were good at water to catch turtles, and they went to the surrounding woods to shoot some small beasts. And the cooks also know His Royal Highness's temper, do not like the bells and whistles, and do not emphasize the complexity and exquisiteness, as long as it is simple and affordable, of course, the taste is better and better, so the cooking is mainly steamed and barbecued, and the camp is filled with the mellow aroma of barbecue without much effort.

"Your Highness, if a fish runs away, why bother about it!" Wang De was a delicate and clear eye, and he had already learned everything on the lake from the guards, and when he saw that he was still sullen after washing, he explained with a smile.

"You know what!" Zhao Hao glanced at him, threw the handkerchief into the basin and said in a muffled voice.

"Your Highness, it's a little ignorant and ignorant." Wang De hurriedly laughed, and he turned around and walked towards the forest, and he hurriedly stopped, "Your Highness is over there......"

"This king is not blind, I can see it!" Zhao Hao glared at him, saw Wang De come up and twisted his face again, and said angrily, "I'll go pee, what will you do with it." ”

"......" Wang De was deflated again and again, his Royal Highness is not such a stingy person, for the sake of a fish will not be so atmospheric, is it angry with whom? He looked at the guards around him and they were all at a loss, obviously unable to ask anything.

"Fu Shuai, does Your Highness always get angry about some trivial matter?" Han Zhen poured tea for Ying Jieyan and asked carefully, but there was an indescribable depression in his heart. As the saying goes, 'soldiers, the country's major affairs', and now putting the lives of these tens of thousands of soldiers and the fate of Qiongzhou in the hands of a moody child can't help but worry him.

"Hehe, do you think Your Highness will be angry that you missed a fish? He just felt it. Ying Jieyan shook his head and smiled.

"Feeling it?! Is Your Highness glad that the fish's escape did not become a meal, or is he sad that the fish will eventually be lured by the bait? Xu Cong also interjected, he was also full of curiosity about His Highness who was full of legends.

"Your Highness is merciful and compassionate, but he will not be troubled by a fish. You underestimate Your Highness's bosom. "Ying Jie Yan stroked the white beard and said, "His Royal Highness is precocious, has great ambitions, and wants to save the country from danger and the people from fire and water." But after all, it is a child, it is inevitable that there will be something that cannot be caught, and now the thief chief Kublai Khan ordered the Tartars of Jinghu and Jiangxi to go south, and the imperial court lost again and again, and evacuated Guangdong again, and Qiongzhou was afraid that war would inevitably occur. His Royal Highness has the great responsibility of passing through Qiongzhou, and he has the power to fight against the Tartars in a corner of the country, just as His Royal Highness just fought against the big fish in the lake as a child, and once he misses, he will get nothing! ”

"I see!" Han Zhen nodded and said thoughtfully.

"Yes, Qiongzhou is located overseas, the land is narrow and the people are sparse, the products are not abundant, and the people's feelings are complicated, the officials of the past dynasties have avoided it, and His Royal Highness wants to reorganize the army, raise food and straw to fight the Tartars, and take into account the people's livelihood and cannot levy too much, it is indeed a dilemma!" Xu Cong sighed and said with deep sympathy.

"Fu Shuai, the humble position is not clear, since His Royal Highness also knows that the two armies of Wan'an and Jiyang are narrow and sparsely populated, and it is difficult to raise supplies, why not place the front and right armies in Qiongzhou nearby, although it is also quite difficult over there, it is better than the two places, and there is no need to transfer materials to supply the two armies, and it can also save the fatigue of boats and cars!" Han Zhen asked.

"Hehe, this problem has been held back by the Korean system for a long time!" Ying Jieyan smiled and said, "The Han commander thinks that the two armies of Wan'an and Jiyang are narrow and barren, and the terrain is complicated, and the Tartars will never abandon Qiongzhou and attack the two places. And you are even more resentful because of this, thinking that His Royal Highness does not understand the indiscriminate actions of the military, and has no knowledge of people, and then there is a slow behavior, yes or no! ”

"Fu Shuai is wise, and he knows that he is wrong...... Han Zhen was told by Fu Shuai to break his heart, and he couldn't help but be ashamed, and muttered.

"It's not bad that you're going to have that kind of knowledge. But Your Highness is the commander of the three armies, so you can't just look at the gains and losses of one place like you. Ying Jieyan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said, "Tartars are the best at avoiding real and attacking the weak with soldiers, and breaking the enemy with surprise soldiers." When the other side finds that the enemy is attacked on the back of the enemy, it often collapses without a fight! ”

"Oh, I understand that the Tartars went south by our dynasty with the Yangtze River and the Huai River to block the Jinghu area, and they could not attack it for many years, and then they had to rebel and instruct them to go down from southern Shaanxi to take southern Sichuan first, and then down the Yangtze River, which made the Jinghu defense line collapse, so that our dynasty lost its barrier, and then Jiangnan was not protected." Han Zhen nodded and said, "In the same way, the Tartars also know that if they capture Qiongzhou, Hainan will not be protected, but if we concentrate heavy troops on the front line of the strait, so that the enemy will not be able to attack for a long time, they may repeat their old tricks and land from the weakest Jiyang or Wan'an." And we have no defense and no soldiers here, so we can easily go ashore, and then go north, our army will lose the advantage of the moat and it will be difficult to hold Qiongzhou. ”

"Han Tongzhi doesn't understand this!"

"Your Highness, you are humble and stupid, you can't understand the deep meaning of Your Highness, and you almost made a big mistake, please punish you!" When they spoke, they didn't know when His Highness turned back, Han Zhen got up and saluted when he heard it, and said in shame.

"Han Tong, this king has high hopes for you, and bringing you here is not just for you to hold this line of defense. Instead, I hope that you will not only build the right army into a tiger on land, but also a dragon on the sea. One day, you can return to the mainland with this king, recover your homeland, and rebuild the Great Song Dynasty! Zhao Yu helped him up.

"If His Royal Highness does not give up, he will be willing to be a pawn of the horse, lead the right army to break through the moat, sweep away the crowd, and help His Highness realize his ambition!" Han Zhen's heart knot was untied, regardless of His Highness's support, and he went to the bottom.

"Good, good, let our monarchs and ministers work together to create a great cause, and it will drink with all the kings in the palace of Kublai Khan every day!" Zhao Yu knew that Han Zhen was truly attached, and he made a promise to draw a big pie for him at the moment. But he also hopes that one day he will be able to make his paintings come true......
