Wang Shouren was slightly stunned, and looked at Zhu Houzhao with some incomprehension: "Tomorrow? Leaving tomorrow? ”

Looking up at Wang Shouren, Zhu Houzhao asked with some confusion: "Is there any problem?" ”

The reason for choosing tomorrow is very simple, Zhu Houzhao doesn't want to listen to some people in the capital, there will definitely be people who oppose going to the northwest on the topic, some are worried about themselves, and some are worried that the things in the northwest will be exposed. You must know that although the Northwest seems to be only the Northwest, the Northwest is a cornucopia for many people.

No matter what era it is, there are a lot of people who make a fortune in the country, not to mention this era when even military salaries dare to drift.

Wang Shouren hurriedly shook his head, he didn't want to miss this opportunity to go to the northwest, this should be an opportunity for himself, Wang Shouren remembered very well, it was during the orthodox years, Yingzong was captured by the Mongolian Warat. This is the change of Tumubao, Wang Shouren deeply realized what it means to be powerless and what it means to serve the country, which cast a huge shadow in his young heart.

From that time on, he vowed to learn the art of war and serve his country. When he was fifteen years old, he repeatedly wrote to the emperor to offer advice to quell the peasant uprising, but to no avail. In the same year, he traveled to Yongguan and Shanhaiguan for a month, and he had the ambition to go through the Quartet at that time. The imperial court erected a monument for the tomb of Wang Yue, the governor of the three sides, and chose to seize this opportunity.

When I came to the East Palace, I was waiting for such an opportunity, and now that this opportunity has come, how could I miss it?

"Your Highness, the minister is fine, but don't we wait for Lord Qin Hong?" Wang Shouren thought for a while and said.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said without hesitation: "Lord Qin Hong and Lord Qin will go directly to the three sides and will not join us." The situation in the northwest is chaotic now, the most important thing is to stabilize the northwest as soon as possible, Qin Hong has no time to enter Beijing, and the palace must rush over as soon as possible, you go back and clean up, and set off early tomorrow morning! ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Shouren agreed, and said with a little excitement that the sentence he just asked actually had a deep meaning.

From Zhu Houzhao's answer, Wang Shouren has already got the answer, his own family's Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the northwest is not a formality, and he is so eager to set off, it is because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of his family wants to fight. Wang Shouren immediately felt that his opportunity had come, because once the war started, the opportunity for his meritorious service would come.

At that time, as long as you show your talent, you don't have to waste time in the East Palace, and the opportunity to show what you have learned in your chest has arrived.

Zhu Houzhao is going to the northwest, his father's side is solved, and the next thing is to solve his mother's side, which is relatively more difficult. After receiving Zhu Houzhao, he was ready to go to Kunning Palace, and he had to tell his mother about it, and he also wanted to accompany his mother, and it was estimated that it would take some days for him to leave. Now my mother is pregnant, so she has to be careful.

Early the next morning, at the gates of the city.

Five thousand soldiers gathered at the gate of the city, and Zhu Houzhao sat on a tall horse, wearing a helmet and armor, and a big red cloak tied behind him, which was really unusually heroic. Zhu Houzhao's horse is the best, it is selected from the war horses in the entire Beijing camp, the best of the best, not only majestic, but also very humane.

Although it is far from the legendary BMW, it is enough for the current Zhu Houzhao.

Turning his head to look at Wang Shouren, who was also sitting on a horse, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "You are going to the northwest, your father didn't stop you?" ”

"My father told his ministers that they should be loyal to His Highness, and if there is a war, they must not be cowardly, and they must not lose their integrity!" When Wang Shouren heard Zhu Houzhao's question, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said respectfully.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and nodded: "Wang Qing is really a model of the country, he teaches his son well, good, very good!" ”

Why did Zhu Houzhao ask this question? That's because his mother, Queen Zhang, was really worried about herself, last night because her father agreed to go to the northwest by herself, and she had an awkward quarrel with her father, it is said that her father couldn't stay in Kunning Palace last night. You must know that since my mother became pregnant, my father went over every night, and was rushed to the Qianqing Palace last night.

But fortunately, it was done in the end, if Empress Zhang really made a fuss, she didn't have to go to the northwest herself.

"Let's go!" Zhu Houzhao raised the whip in his hand, knocked his legs on the legs of the war horse, and then the team slowly set out.

Although it was 5,000 cavalry, the actual team had more than 8,000 people, and the remaining 3,000 people were basically auxiliaries and transporters. Although people can persevere, but horses can't, these horses all have to eat forage, the food is better than that of people, all of them are fat and strong, this is all smashed by Zhu Houzhao with money, which is also the reason why Zhu Houzhao has confidence in these 5,000 people.

In addition to the earliest backbones, the later ones have been trained for so long, and they are also very effective.

In addition, these people themselves have been on the battlefield, killed people, and seen blood, these are the elite of old soldiers, and now Zhu Houzhao gives them good food and drink, look at their arms, look at their broad shoulders, Zhu Houzhao feels that these people must be able to fight. Coupled with the fact that they are equipped with the best equipment and the best war horses, these five thousand people will definitely surprise everyone.

In addition to Zhu Houzhao, Wang Shouren is the most confident in this team, because he knows best.

Because he was bored in the East Palace, Wang Shouren went to the training ground in Xiyuan to mess around, but he knew what these soldiers ate, what kind of training they underwent, and he knew the combat strength of these people. In Wang Shouren's view, these 5,000 people will definitely be able to shine this time, and he is confident that he will make great contributions.

Of course, Wang Shouren's other confidence comes from the strength of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince beside him, how to say the force of this Royal Highness, in Wang Shouren's opinion, he didn't believe in the legends of the market before, such as unlimited touting of those ancient famous generals, what is one enemy and one hundred, but when he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of his own family, Wang Shouren believed it.

Even Wang Shouren found a lot of scripts, trying to find some descriptions comparable to those of His Royal Highness.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao didn't know that the great Confucian beside him in his previous life had gone to find the script in this life.

Wang Shouren searched for a long time and didn't find a suitable one, but Wang Shouren spoke highly of His Royal Highness, and Lu Bu, the first military general of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, is also this combat power, right? Or Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is probably like His Royal Highness, right?

Zhu Houzhao didn't know about this, if he knew, Zhu Houzhao would tell Wang Shouren that your Royal Highness's target is Li Yuanba.

After the army was marched, Zhu Houzhao hurried during the day and camped at night to rest, regardless of the process, the itinerary was very fast, as for how noisy the capital was, Zhu Houzhao didn't care.

Zhu Houzhao originally wanted to walk at night, but people can, horses cannot, walking at night is easy to hurt horses, this is a horse carefully bred by Zhu Houzhao, how can it be so injured? Besides, these horses can't be too tired, because they have to go to the northwest to fight, and how to fight when the horses are tired, these 5,000 cavalry are Zhu Houzhao's reliance.

When it was dark that day, the army was encamped, and Zhu Houzhao sat in front of the tent, burning the fire and grilling the fish, while pondering in a low voice.

When this fish was set up in camp, those soldiers went to the river next to it to catch it, and I have to say that there are still fish in the river in this world, and it is not small. The method of catching fish naturally does not need to be taught by Zhu Houzhao. Although the weather was cold and the river was cold, the group of guys were not in high spirits, and they went to pierce the fish with their spears, and they were quite accurate.

Some people didn't go into the water at all, and stood on the shore with bows and arrows to shoot arrows, but they didn't expect it to be quite accurate, and the fish was shot to death.

After the fish was caught, he drank fish soup at night, which was also Zhu Houzhao's idea of saving if he could. The northwest land, very bitter cold, plus the current season, the transportation of materials is difficult, the baggage they bring may not be used when, now on the road if there is a condition, as much as possible.

Wang Shouren sat beside Zhu Houzhao, threw some firewood into the fire from time to time, and turned the roasted fat fish from time to time.

"Your Highness, a team of men and horses is approaching the camp!" A scout walked up to Zhu Houzhao's side, bowed down and spoke.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, there are people and horses? Although it is in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the matters of the march are arranged by Wang Shouren, with Wang Shouren's wisdom and his knowledge of the art of war, coupled with the knowledge brought by Zhu Houzhao from later generations, Wang Shouren's military literacy has made rapid progress.

"Have you figured out whose men it is?" Zhu Houzhao didn't look up, and asked directly.

"Go back to Your Highness, I found out clearly, it is the driving of Lord Qin, the governor of the three sides!" The scout didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Then leave it alone, let them in!" Saying that, Zhu Houzhao sighed: "This Qin Qing really didn't say, let's start from the capital, riding a horse, he set off from Shanxian County, Shandong, and can catch up with us, I'm afraid it's day and night!" ”

"Qin Qing is already seventy-six years old, I'm afraid this body can't bear it!" Saying that, Zhu Houzhao stood up and said, "Let's go, follow the palace to meet you." ”

Wang Shouren nodded, then stood up, and Zhu Houzhao went to pick up Qin Hong, which is a good thing to show preferential treatment to the old courtiers who are loyal to the country. However, Wang Shouren still had a problem, and turned to the scout and said, "How do you know that the driving is the Trilateral General Qin Hong, Lord Qin?" ”

The scout said expressionlessly: "Our people have already mixed into the convoy, this big night, their precautions are very lax, our people easily blended in, and they also caught a few tongues." ”

Glancing at the scout helplessly, Wang Shouren walked up quickly, reported the matter to Zhu Houzhao with a little embarrassment, and then said with some worry: "Lord Qin won't be angry, right?" ”
