Just when Anpingjun Zhao Cheng and Fengyangjun Li Dui tried to instigate Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao to try to obstruct Meng Zhong's training of the new army, in the Handan Palace, Zhao's father was also talking to Meng Zhong about this matter.

The incident of Meng Zhong breaking into Yangwenjun's mansion with a sword soon spread to the ears of Handan celebrities, as for Master Zhao's side, in fact, when Meng Zhong was eating outside Yangwenjun's mansion, Master Zhao's father had already learned about it.

But Master Zhao didn't intervene, because he wanted to see how Meng Zhong would deal with this matter.

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhong actually dared to break into Yangwenjun's mansion with a sharp sword, which made Master Zhao's father hesitate to send someone forward at that time.

However, when the people sent by Master Zhao's father came to Yang Wenjun's mansion and prepared to wait for Meng Zhong to settle the matter, Meng Zhong led Meng Hu, Meng Sui, Le Yi and others to leave Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao's mansion safe and sound, which made Lord Zhao feel very surprised, so he summoned Meng Zhong to inquire about this matter, and wanted to know what method Meng Zhong used to make it clear that his uncle Zhao Bao, who was not easy to get along with.

And Meng Zhong did not hide this, and told Master Zhao about the incident in 1510, so that Master Zhao laughed happily after hearing it.

"Wonderful! Hahahaha. ”

When Meng Zhong recounted that he pointed his sword at Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, but repeatedly said that he was timid and did not want to be threatened, Master Zhao laughed.

To be honest, even Master Zhao's father didn't expect that his uncle, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, would suffer at the hands of a fifteen-year-old boy.

But then again, compared to Meng Zhong's bold move, he later used reason to persuade Zhao Bao to "expose this matter", which made Zhao's father feel the most happy - bravery is not reckless, it seems that Meng Zhong's approach today can be called brave and strategic.

After realizing this, Master Zhao's father had some more expectations for Meng Zhong and his "Xinwei".

Of course, looking forward to expectation, for some things, he will also remind Meng Zhong in advance, for example, he said to Meng Zhong: "Although Yang Wenjun has agreed to this matter and allowed you to select soldiers in his army, it is not difficult to guess that he will try to let his cronies blend in, if you can't distinguish and identify, it is equivalent to being under the surveillance of those people all the time......

Of course, Meng Zhong knew about this matter.

You must know that Lord Zhao's father's former guards were trained for him by the Zhao clan, and at least one-third of the hundreds of guards were children of the Zhao clan, and even Zhao Cheng, Zhao Bao, Zhao Zao, Zhao Jun and other direct or collateral clansmen of Zhao Chen. And now, Master Zhao has a conflict with the uncles of these clans, and he is ready to abandon those guards and choose another person, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction, vigilance and panic among the Zhao clan - it is too normal to send a few internal spies to monitor Master Zhao's actions.

"I'll find a way to get rid of it."

Meng Zhong said to Master Zhao's father.

Seeing that he seemed to be quite confident, Master Zhao nodded and didn't say anything more, after all, for now, he had high expectations for Meng Zhong, thinking that this son was enough to take on the important role.

In the early morning of the next day, Meng Zhong led Meng Hu, Meng Sui, Le Yi and other small partners to come to Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao's house again as agreed.

Because of what happened yesterday, of course Yang Wenjun Mansion would not let Meng Zhong wait outside the mansion anymore, and not long after the report, Meng Zhong and the others were allowed to enter the mansion, and they were in the lobby of the house in the front yard, drinking tea and waiting for Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao.

About half an hour or so, I saw Yang Wenjun and Zhao Leopard coming to the house wearing armor.

"Yang Wenjun."

"Well, you're here, boy."

When they greeted each other, Meng Zhong felt that the old man had a little bit of wine in his mouth, and his demeanor was a little drunk, so he asked curiously: "Didn't Yang Wenjun get up early today and drink in the bedroom?" ”

"Does the old man know you well? What does it matter to you whether the old man drinks or not? ”

Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao replied with a pretended smile, as if he still remembered the incident where Meng Zhong pointed his sword at him yesterday.

But in fact, Zhao Bao didn't sleep well all night last night, because he was hesitating, hesitating whether to follow the strategy that Zhao Cheng and Li Dui said to find a way to obstruct Meng Zhong's training of the new army.

To be honest, Zhao Bao didn't want to do this.

First, he didn't want to disobey Master Zhao's orders, and second, he didn't want to exacerbate the conflict between him and Meng Zhong - although he did have some unpleasant experiences with Meng Zhong yesterday, but in general, he was still very optimistic about this kid who knew how to advance and retreat.

However, an incident that Anpingjun Zhao Cheng told him last night made Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao hesitate, that is, the relationship between Meng Zhong's son, Gongzi Zhang, and Tian Buyu.

According to Zhao Cheng, Gongzi Zhang faintly showed an attitude of dissatisfaction with Zhao Wanghe, if this matter could not be contained, he Zhao State may have a tragedy of internal seizure of power, as if the internal struggle between Zhao Xianhou and Zhao Huanhou - that infighting really had a far-reaching impact on his Zhao State.

In all fairness, whether Zhao Wang He succeeds to the throne or Gongzi Zhang succeeds to the throne, in fact, Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao don't care.

Even, when Zhao's father abolished the crown prince Zhao Zhang and established the second son Zhao, he Zhao Bao also used the civil strife during the period of Zhao Xianhou and Zhao Huanhou to dissuade Zhao's father from abolishing the prince lightly, so as not to leave disaster in the future.

Fortunately, the abolition of the crown prince did not cause much turmoil in the country, and since then, the crown prince Zhao He, with the assistance and teaching of the minister of state, has gradually handled state affairs decently, so Zhao Bao gradually forgot about this matter.

Unexpectedly, in the palace banquet a few days ago, Lord Zhao's father actually wanted to canonize Zhao Zhang as the acting king, trying to make him Zhao form a situation of "one country and two kings", of course he Zhao Bao would not sit idly by, after all, Zhao Xiangfeiyi has made it clear: this is the way to take trouble!

All in all, if it is only about Zhao's father, Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao do not intend to embarrass Meng Zhong, but if behind this matter, as Anpingjun Zhao Cheng said, it is related to Gongzi Zhang, then Zhao Bao naturally can't sit idly by.

Although Lord Zhao's father is indeed a male lord, wouldn't the male lord make mistakes?

In Zhao Bao's view, it was a wrong decision to abolish Zhao Zhang's father and establish Zhao He.

And now, under the condition that the country of Zhao is stable, if Lord Zhao tries to depose the new monarch again, it will be the second wrongdoing, and the consequences of this matter will far exceed the previous one.

"Let's go to the barracks first."

After taking a deep look at Meng Zhong, Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao decided to take Meng Zhong and the others to the military camp outside the city first.

The army led by Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending Handan, and in this army, about 3,000 soldiers were stationed in Handan City, responsible for the defense of the city gate and the vigilance and patrol in the city, while the rest of the soldiers were stationed in the military camp about ten miles northeast of Handan City - it was the soldiers in this military camp that Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao ordered to gather yesterday.

It took about an hour or so for Zhao Bao to ride Meng Zhong and others to this military camp.

When Meng Zhong and the others came to the barracks, it seemed that the barracks were being drilled, and thousands of soldiers of the Zhao State stood in the school yard in a neat and orderly manner, shouting "drink" from their mouths, and waving their weapons under the inspection of the generals.

Seeing this, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao was quite complacent and said to Meng Zhong: "Boy, are the soldiers led by the old man strong?" ”

Meng Zhong smiled and nodded, even if he just looked at it for a while, he could see that the spirit of these Zhao pawns was quite good, no less than the 200,000 Zhao troops who were currently stationed in the sand dunes and had participated in the capture of Zhongshan Kingdom.

Immediately, Zhao Bao led Meng Zhong and others to the marshal tent in the army.

At this time, outside the tent, there were already about a dozen Zhao generals gathered, and these people probably just got the news, so they were waiting here early.

Leading Meng Zhong and the others into the tent, Zhao Bao first told the generals under his command that "Lord Zhao's father wants to draw soldiers from his army to form a new guard", and then he said to a general who was about forty years old: "Zhao Ben, you cooperate with Meng Zhong and assist the latter in selecting soldiers." …… The rest of the people obeyed Zhao Ben's orders. ”

"Whoa!"

Including the general named Zhao Ben, the dozen or so Zhao generals responded expressionlessly.

Of course, Meng Zhong understood that the cold expressions of these generals were not aimed at Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao, but at their group.

Immediately, the old man ordered the soldiers to cook wine in the tent, and it seemed that he did not intend to help Meng Zhong and the others.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong asked Zhao Ben: "Zhao Junzuo, I don't know the status of your soldiers, can you be in the camp?" ”

The so-called "military assistant" is a kind of military position, which originated from the "three armies and six secretaries" system of the Jin State, and according to the status of the generals, the middle army general, the upper army general, the upper army general, the lower army general, and the lower army leader.

Among them, "general" is the main general and commander, and "zuo" is the assistant and adjutant.

As one of the three Jin Dynasty, Zhao followed the system of the Jin State to a certain extent, and called the deputy general of the First Army as Jun Zuo - equivalent to the position of "Zuo Sima" of the Song State.

Hearing this, Zhao Ben frowned and thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "In the treasury of the back camp." ”

"Please lead the way."

“……”

At the request of Meng Zhong, Zhao Ben took the former and his party to the warehouse in the barracks and found dozens of boxes of bamboo slips.

At this time, Zhao Ben said to Meng Zhong: "The military registration of all the soldiers in our army is here. ”

Meng Zhong nodded, turned to Meng Sui, Xiang Yi, Le Yi and the others and said, "Let's start, eliminate all the soldiers from the Zhao family, the Li family, and Handan, and choose from the rest." ”

“……”

Zhao Ben was slightly stunned when he heard this, and when Meng Zhong and the others were busy and didn't pay attention, he summoned an accompanying soldier and instructed the latter to tell Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao about the matter.

After only a moment, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, who was drinking in the tent, learned about it.

"What? Then Meng Zhong demanded the elimination of all the soldiers of the Zhao family, the Li family, and the Handan family? ”

After listening to the soldier's report, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao's eyes flashed a little worried, of course he understood what Meng Zhong's move meant.

Hooking his fingers and letting the soldier close to him, Zhao Bao whispered a few words to him.

"Whoa! His Majesty immediately told the military leader. ”

The soldier immediately turned and left.

Looking at the back of the soldier leaving, Zhao Bao glanced at the steaming wine jug on the copper stove, and his brows furrowed deeply.
