Today's dinner is much less than the imperial meal style in the palace, and it looks simple, but it is much more abundant than the next day. Zhao Yu is very satisfied, he eats simply on weekdays, and there are few materials prepared in the kitchen, so it is difficult for the chefs to make a lot in a hurry, of course, this is also in Guangzhou, otherwise they can't buy it when they are sold elsewhere. The three of them said while eating, Ying Jieyan said it was true, and things were indeed a little tricky.

This time, the Marshal's army attacked Guangzhou, and there were two troops to help the battle, one was Jiang Xuan's clan soldiers and the volunteers gathered, with a number of about 3,000 people; the other is a team led by Chen Zeweng's brothers, consisting of salt people and collected defeated troops, which also numbered in the thousands; Then there were the remnants of the captured Guangzhou Brave Army and the Jiujiang Army led by Liang Xiongfei, which also had more than 3,000 people.

Jiang Xuan is the palace Yishan, and he is also the transfer envoy of Guangnan West Road, and the team he led is justified in the Shuaifu army, no one has any objections, and there will be no trouble. The captured Brave Army and the Jiujiang Army were considered trophies, and it was also logical that they were absorbed by the Shuaifu Army. The trouble is the team of the Chen brothers, both of them are officials of the South Guangdong Road, although they are suspected of being 'bullying others' when they are recruited as officials of the Shuaifu, it is not necessary to use the strong, it is their subordinates who are difficult to deal with, and one of the routs is the Destroyer Army stationed in Guangzhou.

The Destroying Front Army still has some origins with the royal family, which was formed by Zhao Zhen, the king of letters, after the Jingkang Revolution, and successively transferred to Zhang Jun and Yue Fei's department, until the fifth year of Shaoxing was awarded the military title, which was under the control of the Guangdong Criminal Division, and the property was responsible for the Guangdong Transit Division, and became the local Zhenwu Army like the Hunan Flying Tiger Army, the Fujian Left Wing Army and the Guangdong Brave Army, but nominally it still belonged to the series of forbidden troops in front of the palace and was managed by the Privy Council. During this period, he was also sent out of the country by the imperial court many times to fight and garrison strategic places.

The Yuan army attacked the Song Dynasty in a big way, Lin'an fell, and the enemy army entered Guangdong, and Xu Zhiliang, who was the pacification envoy of Guangdong, sent Li Xingdaoquan, a native of Guangzhou, to be punished, and led the generals Huang Jun and Chen Shi to destroy the front army. Xie Xian, the general of the navy, waited at Shimen to prevent the Yuan army from entering Guangzhou. At that time, the number of troops in Guangzhou was 20,000, Li Xingdao was afraid and did not dare to fight, only Huang Junbu engaged in the battle, and the rest of the troops flinched, and finally defeated and retreated to Guangzhou. Xu Zhiliang fled from Guangzhou, and the Yuan army entered Guangzhou. Li Xingdao, Chen Shi, and Xie Xian surrendered. Huang Jun was unyielding and was killed by His Royal Highness the Buddha of the Destroying Front Army.

Soon, Xiong Fei Yu Huang Shixiong, Liang Xiongfei made enemies, and the Song court sent Zhao Jin to counterattack Guangdong, Xiong Fei responded, and Yi Song attacked Guangdong. Zhao Jinbing went to Guangzhou to meet Xiong Fei. Huang Shixiong and others abandoned the city, and Li Xingdao surrendered the city. Zhao Jin entered the city and killed Li Xingdao. Chen Shi, Xie Xian, et al. The Chaoyang people were appointed as the general of the Destroying Front Army, stationed in Chaozhou, and the people of the state were promoted to the right to know the state affairs. No. pacification envoy. In the first month of this year, the Yuan army occupied Guangzhou for the second time, knowing Liu Xing in Xunzhou, and Qian Rong in Meizhou in Quanzhi, Ma Fa led thousands of people to escape. Later, it was temporarily placed under Chen Renweng......

"Last time, Chen Yishi once mentioned to me the matter of returning to the Shuaifu, but I have clearly rejected them. Why do you bring it up again? After listening to Ying Jieyan's introduction, Zhao Yu frowned and said.

"Your Highness doesn't know, Mr. Ruizhou has come to me several times and said that his brother's injuries have not healed, and the Shuaifu army will be evacuated soon, and he wants to take his brother and the old and young to Qiongzhou for medical treatment, but he has not mentioned anything about returning to the Shuaifu." Ying Jieyan said.

"Hehe, he's kind of interesting. If their brother is leaving, what will happen to the soldiers under his command, will they be disbanded? And Mr. Linzhou's legs I have already seen, basically healed, just take some time, there is no need to go to Qiongzhou! Zhao Hao smiled and said, these two brothers are consumed by themselves, if he doesn't want to conflict with Zhang Shijie again, he still really wants to accept them.

"The old man explained the same to them, but yesterday I heard that the Chen brothers had written to the court to resign, and the volunteers under their command also went to the recruitment office in the palace to apply, and Ma Fa, the commander of the Destroying Frontier Army, also asked to be included in the marshal's mansion. But now that Zhang Zhensun, the envoy of Guangdong, has led his troops to come and will take up his post in a few days, in this way, will there be variables in vain! Ying Jieyan said helplessly, they can't manage this kind of thing, no matter how much it will make colleagues suspicious of each other, it's really a little difficult.

"What Mr. Ruizhou did was to cover up and cover people's eyes. However, it is also a painstaking work, which is difficult to live up. Deng Guangjian also said with a smile.

"What the two gentlemen said is that they are doing this, obviously stuffing a burning red brazier into my hand, and this is not throwing, nor is it holding." Zhao Hao said with a wry smile, their brothers' tricks are not clever, even Deng Guangjian, a nerd, can see through it at a glance, not to mention those people in the court.

"Alas, what Your Highness said is true. If we insist on refusing, it will inevitably chill the people who want to serve the marshal's house, and if we take it in, it will cause misunderstanding between the court and our colleagues, and I am afraid that someone will impeach us for having a self-reliant heart. To stay or not to stay is a dilemma. Ying Jieyan sighed and said, after he got the news, he also discussed with the chief officials of the various divisions, but there were different opinions, so he wanted to hear His Highness's thoughts.

"What do the two gentlemen think of the Chen brothers?" Zhao Yu picked up a piece of meat and ate it, looked up and asked.

"Mr. Ruizhou is knowledgeable, loyal, and capable of governing the world. When he served as the deputy envoy of Guangdong, he was in charge of the transshipment of grain goods on the South Guangdong Road, and was also in charge of the inspection and supervision of border prevention and security. When the situation was difficult for the Yuan army to move south, he advocated righteousness and bravely raised the king of soldiers. It's a rare talent. Ying Jieyan said, "Although Linzhou is still young, but I see that his conversation is extraordinary, and he is very insightful about the method of using soldiers. ”

"Yes, I have also discussed poetry with his brothers, they are worthy of being the home of reading, they have a number of classics in the subset, and they also have a deep understanding of the policies of governing the country and the people, they are really rare talents, only sigh that they are hidden pearls, and it is difficult to exhaust their talents!" Deng Guangjian said regretfully.

"What about the combat power of the Destroyer Army, and what about the Ma Fa Qi people?" Zhao Yu nodded and asked again.

"The Destroying Front Army has 3,400 soldiers, stationed in various state capitals in Guangdong, and one is sent to King Lin'an Qin to disperse in all directions. After several increases, there were still 1,000 soldiers in Guangzhou. Because of its combat bravery, it was the main force of Guangdong to clean up bandits and suppress rebellions, and was transferred abroad to participate in the war in successive times, including the rebellion of Li Tong in Qiongzhou, the battle of the Mongolian army in Yangping Pass and Dasanguan, and the battle to aid Guangxi were all victorious, and there were few defeats. Ying Jieyan said, "Ma Faqi people don't know much, but he can be promoted to the commander with military merits, and he can lead an army to escape from Guangzhou without collapse after the fall of the city, and he should have the talent to command the army." ”

Zhao Hao listened to the good words of the two, not like asking for his own opinions, but like he was promoting himself as a virtuous ...... (To be continued.) )
