"Sure enough......

"That's true, isn't it?"

"Anyway...... When did she make the tea?'

When camping that night, Shen Yu, Lu Mu and other ten guards arranged the marching tent for Zhao Hongrun, and from time to time glanced at the "eleventh guard" beside His Royal Highness, Mi Jiang.

I saw that under the strange gaze of the guards, Mi Jiang, who was dressed like the guards, was kneeling in a corner of the tent, sipping tea slowly, I really don't know when she went to make tea.

"Something?" As if noticing the strange eyes of the Zongwei, Mi Jiang asked expressionlessly.

"Uh, no."

Shen Yu, the head of the sect's guard, perked up, and immediately clasped his fists and said to Zhao Hongrun: "Then, Your Highness, please rest well." …… The lowly rank and the Su Wangwei will be stationed around the tent, and if there is anything, His Highness will give orders. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded and said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"Your Highness is serious." Shen Yu owed, and immediately, he turned his head to look at Mi Jiang, who was quietly drinking tea in the corner of the tent, and said in a low voice, "Then please." ”

Mi Jiang bowed slightly.

Seeing this, all the sect guards left the tent with strange expressions.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun turned around, stared at Mi Jiang and said angrily: "Okay, thanks to you, these guys are all misunderstood." ”

"Do you find it troublesome?" Mi Jiang took a sip of tea and asked lightly.

Zhao Hongrun smiled when he heard this: "Of course not, ask a woman of the same age to pretend to be a guard and stay by her side for twelve hours a day without intervals, even if she stays at night, she will stay in a tent to rest or something...... Nonsense! Of course, this king will be troubled! ”

By the end of the day, he was on the verge of madness.

"......" Qi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun lightly, and said expressionlessly: "What are you talking about sleeping in a tent, in fact, it's just you resting." And I'm just guarding you. Speaking of this, a few ripples seemed to flash in her eyes as if she was still water, and she muttered inaudibly: "It should be ......me who feels troubled."

"What?" Zhao Hongrun didn't hear the last sentence of Mi Jiang clearly.

"Nothing." Mi Jiang drank tea and replied expressionlessly.

"No, what did you absolutely say...... What did you just say? ”

"......" Mi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun lightly, and suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Short man." ”

Looking at the pair of Mi Jiang, it seemed to reveal, "Are you satisfied?" of the eyes. Zhao Hongrun was about to explode, after all, he hated being mentioned by others the most.

It's no wonder who told everyone around him to be taller than him.

"Shinobi, forbearance...... If I'm angry because of this, then she'll really get her way......

After taking a few deep breaths, Zhao Hongrun finally calmed down, he glanced at Mi Jiang who was quietly drinking tea in the corner, and asked in a somewhat resentful tone: "Anyway, what are you doing pretending to be a guard?" As he spoke, he glanced at the tea vessel placed on the ground in front of Mi Jiang's knee. He muttered incredulously, "Still carrying this kind of thing." ”

Mi Jiang slowly drank the tea in the cup, picked up the teapot and poured himself another cup, and said indifferently: "It's Yulong who asks me to protect you well." …… As for the tea utensils, it's just a personal preference, you don't have to care. ”

"What a laid-back "guard"......

Zhao Hongrun shook his head slightly, and then Zhengse said: "In fact, this king doesn't need your protection. ”

"Humph!" Mi Jiang snorted lightly and said lightly mocking: "It's really a confident tone." As a weak man who was almost killed by those horse thieves a few days ago......"

"This guy is definitely here to block me on purpose!"

Zhao Hongrun gritted his teeth and glared at Mi Jiang, but it was a pity. The latter was completely unimpressed.

At this moment, a Su Wangwei came from outside the tent.

"Your Highness, General Wu Ji of the Shangshui Army asks to see you."

"Wu Ji?"

Zhao Hongrun was stunned, and then said, "Please let him in." ”

"Yes!"

It didn't take long for Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Shui Army, to walk in from outside the tent and knock on the ground and clench his fists. Respectfully bowed: "The last general Wu Ji, meet His Royal Highness King Su." ”

"No courtesy." Zhao Hongrun raised his hand to invite Wu Ji to get up, and asked with a smile: "Wu Ji, it's so late, do you have anything important to see this king?" ”

Wu Ji scratched his head when he heard this. said: "That's the case, Your Highness, when I first arrived in Daliang a few days ago, the last general actually wanted to enter the city to meet His Royal Highness King Su, but unfortunately the upper (military department) ordered me to gather outside the city for rectification, and I was not allowed to leave my post without permission, so I couldn't enter the city to meet His Royal Highness and convey my gratitude to His Royal Highness King Su." ”

"Gratitude?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned.

"yes." Wu Ji nodded heavily and explained: "My mother said to the last general, His Highness treats me so kindly, and it is only reasonable to thank His Highness in person. ”

Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned, but even though he understood what Wu Ji meant, he nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, your gratitude, this king will accept it." …… Is the family okay? ”

At the mention of this, Wu Ji showed a heartfelt smile on his face, and said gratefully: "The family has been allocated a lot of fields, although my sister-in-law is in charge of the family business and has no time to farm, but the last general invited a few tenant farmers to take care of the fields on his behalf...... No, my Great Wei's field tax is simply a gift to us. ”

After that, his face was straight, and he respectfully bowed to Zhao Hongrun with his fists, and said respectfully: "The last general is more than 400,000 people in Shangshui, Yanling, and Changping, thank His Royal Highness King Su for the generous treatment he has given us." After that, he knocked on the ground on one knee, gave another military salute, and said in a deep voice: "Although Wu Ji is dull, I hope to be driven by His Royal Highness King Su and never give up!" ”

"Stupid...... What?'

Seeing the Wu Ji in front of him, who was not yet a weak crown but was already a general of the Shangshui Army, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In fact, to tell the truth, he promoted Wu Ji, who was only a thousand generals at that time, to 3,000 generals, just because the Shang Shui Army at that time, no, it should be said that a large number of the generals of the Yuan Pingxuan Army at that time died, and only a small part surrendered.

What I didn't expect was that although this Wu Ji was young, from the current point of view, it seemed that he had a faint general's bearing, which made Zhao Hongrun feel a little surprised.

"Why don't you cultivate this man?"

Zhao Hongrun thought to himself.

In all fairness, under Zhao Hongrun, there are actually two generals who can take charge on their own, that is, Qu Cheng and Yan Mo of the Yanling Army.

After all, Qu Cheng was once the right and left hand of Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu, and Yan Mo was a general who was valued and promoted by Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, so his personal ability naturally does not need to be said.

The problem is that when they surrendered to Zhao Hongrun, the starting point was too high, and Zhao Hongrun didn't think he could give them much, so he didn't fully trust Qu Cheng and Yan Mo.

But Wu Ji is different, he was just a thousand generals at the beginning, and he has never been favored by Xiong Tuo and Xiong Hu, so Zhao Hongrun trusts him more.

Of course, the same is true for Gu Liangwei and Wu Ma Jiao.

Because of this, Zhao Hongrun was between the Yanling Army and the Shang Shui Army, and he would faintly favor the Shang Shui Army, which had weak generals, rather than the Yan Ling Army, which was composed of 3,000 generals and 2,000 generals of the original Chu Army.

"It's better to take advantage of this battle to hone this Wu Ji, and if he can take charge of it one day, I can rest assured that Shangshui County will be handed over to him......

Zhao Hongrun secretly made up his mind.

"Your Highness?" Seeing Zhao Hongrun looking at him intently, Wu Ji unconsciously felt a little puzzled, and asked puzzledly.

"Huh?" Zhao Hongrun came back to his senses when he heard this, smiled, and said solemnly: "Wu Ji, this king has placed a heavy bet on your merchant army, don't make this king embarrassed this time." ”

Wu Ji's face turned straight when he heard this, and he clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Your Royal Highness King Su, don't worry, if my merchant army insults His Highness's face, the last general will come to see him!" ”

"That's not necessary." Zhao Hongrun smiled and waved his hand, and in an instant, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Dangshan Jun, have you seen it too?" What do you think? ”

Hearing this, Wu Ji's already serious face showed a bit of solemnity, and after frowning and thinking for a while, he clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, in fact, in addition to expressing his gratitude to His Highness this time, the last general wants to report this matter to His Highness......

As he spoke, he told Zhao Hongrun what had just happened in the camp, only to hear Zhao Hongrun frowning frequently.

"Provocation?"

"It's not a provocation, it should be a prejudice." Wu Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Chop down more firewood for the bonfire, it's nothing." The last general just felt that the eyes of the soldiers of the Dangshan Army were far less kind than those of the Junshui Army, and it would be okay to do it once or twice, if this kind of thing happened too much, it might affect the views of the Dangshan Army of our Shang Navy Army, and it would not be conducive to the two armies joining hands to conquer Sanchuan. ”

“……”

Zhao Hongrun was silent when he heard this.

Of course, he understood that what Wu Ji said was correct, like this kind of unhealthy trend in the army, once the signs are found, they should be stopped in time and put an end to it as soon as possible, otherwise, the Shang Shui Army is very likely to be resentful because of the bullying of the Dangshan Army, after all, the Shang Shui Army originally cared about his identity as a Chu person, and once he was treated unfairly by the Wei people of the Dangshan Army, this kind of contradiction intensification can be far more serious than the consequences of the contradiction between the two armies.

But the problem is that the other party is the army under the command of Sima An, a general who is extremely rejecting foreigners, if he Zhao Hongrun makes his position on the side of the Shang Shui Army, it is very likely to cause Sima An's dissatisfaction, after all, this general is a typical general who treats people and things wrong, between the Chu people and the Wei people, even if the latter is at fault, he will definitely stand on the latter's side.

"It's really a nightmare battle......

Sighing secretly, Zhao Hongrun paced a few steps in the tent, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Wu Ji, this king has entrusted you to act cheaply, if something similar happens again, you will come forward to stop it as the general of the Shangshui Army." …… As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke, the king will be in charge of everything. ”

Hearing this, Wu Ji was shocked.

"The last general obeys!"

Looking at the energetic Wu Ji, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He already had a premonition that the relationship between him and the great general Sima An was very likely to divide again because of the contradictions between the two armies.

This means that he is gradually moving away from the homework given to him by his father, the matter of "driving Sima An". (To be continued.) )
