"Who should be sent to Wuzhou?"

Zhao Gou's gaze swept over everyone in the hall.

Wu Ling said: "The minister thinks that there are more than 20,000 people in the general camp, and it is completely possible to send a prison army." ”

Zhang Fu said: "It has always been difficult to determine the selection of the supervising army, and there is no clue about it in ten days and half a month, and more than 20,000 soldiers in the general camp are about to run out of food. ”

"Who?"

Zhang Fu sold it, and Zhao Gou didn't think of anyone for a while.

"It's the commander of the general camp, the king of Pu'an."

After Zhang Fu finished speaking, he looked at a young man next to him who was dressed in red and wanted to hang a jade belt.

"Yes, it's the right choice."

Zhao Gou nodded slightly, and then said, "Qin Aiqing, what do you think about letting the King of Pu'an go to Wuzhou?" ”

Qin Hui said: "It's okay, the king of Enping County also went to Ezhou last year. ”

"Zhao Jin, as the commander of the general camp, you have never been to Wuzhou so far, you really shouldn't be. Get ready to go to Wuzhou as soon as possible. ”

The red-clothed young man in the hall immediately stood up and responded, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"The matter of merging the battalion and the army with the new army, and the revocation of the dismissal of the forbidden army stationed abroad, you Aiqing will discuss it again and pay attention to it as soon as possible."

The deliberations of the vertical arch hall continued, and no one could easily leave without a result.

..............

One day in late March of the 22nd year of Shaoxing, a vigorous forbidden army of hundreds of people suddenly appeared outside the camp of Yiwu in Wuzhou, and as the forbidden army dispersed left and right, a gorgeous carriage appeared in front of the guards on duty in the camp of the selected general.

Without waiting for the guards to ask, they heard the forbidden army on the opposite side shouting: "The king of Pu'an has arrived!" Generals take over! ”

Who is the king of Pu'an, no one in the camp of the elector generals!

The guards immediately rushed into the camp and communicated to their superiors.

Su Zhong was in charge of the former battalion guard, and he was the first to get the news, but how noble was the status of the king of Pu'an County, how could he, a rough man, dare to come forward to meet him alone. So he immediately informed Pan Cheng, Shen Jin, Lu You and others of the back camp of the news of the arrival of the king of Pu'an.

Almost at the same time, news of the arrival of the king of Pu'an outside the camp spread rapidly through the camp.

Su Zhong, Pan Cheng, Shen Jin, Lu You and others who received the news quickly met at the west gate of the general camp.

The group cautiously and hesitantly walked to a place five or six feet away from the carriage and stopped, and a foot away in front of them was the forbidden army with spears in hand.

"Shen Jin, who selected the general battalion to join the army, came to welcome the commander into the camp!"

Shen Jin raised his hand and bowed deeply in the direction of the carriage.

With a few words, a group of forbidden troops in front of him spread out on both sides, opening the way to the carriage.

Shen Jin and his entourage were cautious and stepped forward steadily, lest they leave a bad impression on the coach they had not yet met.

Walking two feet away from the carriage, everyone stopped again and lined up in front of the carriage.

"Shen Jin, who is selected to join the army, welcome the commander!"

"Select the general's battalion to join the army and land tour, welcome the commander!"

"Su Zhong, the general of the selected battalion, greets the boss!"

"Pan Cheng, deputy general of the general battalion, greets the commander!"

Almost simultaneously, all four raised their hands to salute the carriage and announce their names.

"You don't have to be polite."

There was a voice in the carriage, neither high nor low, but there was a strong bookish anger.

The curtain on the carriage did not open, and Shen Jin and the others couldn't see what the king of Pu'an looked like.

"Let's go to camp."

The voice of the king of Pu'an was heard again in the car.

The wheels rolled, the carriage moved forward, Shen Jin, Lu You and others divided into two, accompanied by the carriage, and led the king of Pu'an and his party into the camp.

The convoy passed through the gate of the selection camp and drove directly onto the wide school field.

A group of soldiers on the school field are training hard under the leadership of the officer, they have just heard the news of the arrival of the commander Pu'an County King, at this moment when they see the carriage, they know that the noble King Pu'an County is in the car, training even harder, a movement, a roar, with all their strength, as if they want to step through the mountains and rivers, shatter the sky.

Under the escort of the elite forbidden army, the carriage of the king of Pu'an slowly drove in front of the forbidden army that was training every road, as if it was reviewing the whole army, but the king of Pu'an did not show up from beginning to end, and the carriage never stopped.

A few quarters of an hour later, the carriage carrying the king of Pu'an drove into the school yard in front of the camp.

When the carriage arrives here, it can no longer move forward, although there is a road from the school field to the camp, but the carriage cannot climb up, and all those who want to enter the camp can only walk.

The carriage of the King of Pu'an County stopped.

After the commander of the guard walked to the front of the car to make a report, the ornate curtain was lifted, and everyone saw a person walking out of the car.

Wearing a jade crown and golden hairpin, wearing a vermilion brocade suit, a jade belt around his waist, and a jade pendant on his waist, he has a medium stature, a fair complexion, a relatively ordinary appearance, and is twenty-five or sixteen years old.

"Boss, in front of you is the handsome camp built for the commander of the general camp, which has already been arranged and can be moved in."

Shen Jin took a step forward.

King Pu'an glanced at the handsome camp on the slope, and then turned his head to look at Shen Jin and the others who were waiting next to the car.

"You don't have to call me the boss, just call me the king of the county."

The king of Pu'an doesn't seem to like Shen Jin and others very much, and they are called coaches.

"Yes, County King!"

Shen Jin changed his voice respectfully.

Soon, the king of Pu'an County walked into the camp accompanied by everyone.

After the king of the county was seated, several people stepped forward again to introduce their identities, as well as the errands and responsibilities they shouldered in the general camp.

When he learned that Deputy Marshal Yang Congyi was still organizing a general election challenge in the mountain, the king of Pu'an County said that there was no need to enter the mountain to notify him, so as not to interrupt the election of generals.

The most important thing in front of him is to raise grain and grass, which is also the direct reason why the king of Pu'an came to Yiwu to elect the general camp.

There is not a lot of grain and grass in the camp of the generals, at most it can only support half a month, Lu You ran several times to Wuzhou and Quzhou before, and it took a lot of effort and paid a lot of price to raise another batch of grain and grass.

According to their previous plan, if Lin'an did not send people to help raise grain and grass, they could only use cash to procure, Wuzhou and Quzhou are nearby grain production areas, and there is a lot of grain stored among the large households, and they can still buy it with money, but there is not much cash available for the general camp.

Fortunately, the imperial court sent the king of Pu'an, as long as he came to the general camp, there was naturally no problem in raising tens of thousands of loads of grain and grass.

After the king of the county inquired about the raising of grain and grass, he immediately took out two letters and handed them to Lu You, asking him to immediately go to Wuzhou and Quzhou with the letters to allocate grain and grass.

Lu You left, and Su Zhong and Pan Cheng also retreated, leaving only Shen Jin to accompany the king of the county.

He accompanied the king of the county to familiarize himself with the camp from room to room, and by the way, he told the king of the county about the construction process of the camp of the generals, and reported on the training of the armies and the challenge of entering the mountains.

Although the king of the county did not speak much, it could be seen that he was still quite satisfied with the selection of the general camp and the marshal camp.

Half an hour later, Shen Jin retired.

Since then, the county king has lived in the general camp, but he rarely goes out of the handsome camp, and the guards of the entire handsome camp have all been replaced by the elite forbidden army he brought on the day the county king moved in.

After the arrival of the king of the county, the troops of the general camp trained harder every day, took a longer time, and shouted louder, and the roaring military songs of the various armies during the rest time could be directly transmitted from the outer camp to the inner camp.

Of the forty forbidden troops trained in the general camp, any of them wanted to perform in front of the county king, but the county king hardly went out of the handsome camp, let alone the inner camp.

Occasionally, the garrison soldiers saw the county king climbing the ridge behind the camp under the personal escort of the commander of the forbidden army, and they didn't know what they were doing on it, and the soldiers were not allowed to give orders, so they naturally did not dare to approach at will.

The king of the county came, and the camp seemed to have changed a lot, but nothing seemed to have changed.

Five days later, the team that entered the mountain to participate in the challenge of the army returned to the camp of the general, accompanied by two generals of the judging group and Yang Congyi, the deputy marshal.

An hour after returning to the camp, the king summoned Yang Congyi, General Li and General Shao.

"The last general, Li Xianzhong, has seen the king of Pu'an!"

"The last general, Shao Hongyuan, has seen the king of Pu'an!"

"The last general, Yang Congyi, has seen the king of Pu'an!"

The three of them successively met Zhao Ming, the king of Pu'an County, who was dressed in vermilion official clothes, in the conference hall.

"The three generals are fortunate, please be seated."

When he came to the general selection camp, Zhao Jin's face showed a slight smile for the first time, and he no longer looked serious and unapproachable.

"Thank you, King Jun!"

The three of them thanked each other in unison and sat down one after another.

"General Li and General Shao, the two generals have worked tirelessly and have been running around in the mountains for more than five months, and Xiao Wang admires them."

Seeing that the two of them were older and had a lot of experience in the army, Zhao Ying couldn't help but be a little more cautious and respectful. Although the status of generals is not as good as that of civilian officials, generals in the army should not be taken lightly.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the king of the county is serious, and the general can't afford it!"

Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan hurriedly got up, although the two of them were somewhat famous in the army, how could they dare to hold up in front of the county king, once it spread, maybe there would be some trouble.

"The two generals don't have to be too humble, Xiao Wang visited Yang Guogong before coming to Wuzhou, and heard Yang Guogong talk about the experience of the two generals fighting with the Jin people in their early years, with such a loyal and good general, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be passed on for thousands of years!"

Zhao Ying smiled slightly and said again.

"Thank you for the compliment! The last general swears to defend the Great Song Dynasty to the death! ”

Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan clasped their fists almost at the same time and gave a deep salute to Zhao Yuan, which was very solemn.

"Two generals, please be seated. The Great Song Dynasty is vast, in addition to the two generals, more soldiers are needed, and the court is united in order to protect the Great Song Dynasty forever! ”

After Zhao Ying finished speaking, he looked at Yang Congyi, and then said, "Deputy Envoy Yang is fortunate. I heard Yang Guogong say that you are from a martial arts background, and you have led a hundred ships to the South Seas before, escorting the ocean back to Yi, bringing back a lot of rare treasures for the Great Song Dynasty, and the treasury was rich for a while. Later, Li Yue invaded Quang Nam, and you led the army to take the initiative to attack with the strength of the supervising army, annihilating tens of thousands of Li Yue's enemy troops, destroying countless enemy grain and grass, and then the lone army occupied the enemy's border town, completely cutting off the logistics supply of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops who invaded Quang Nam, and forcing the enemy army to withdraw from Quang Nam. You are the same age as Xiao Wang, so you have such an achievement, Xiao Wang admires! ”
