After returning to the military camp of the Fencheng army, Zhao Hongrun first returned to the cabin where he lived and dried his body wet with a towel to avoid contracting the wind and cold. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, in this day and age, wind chill and head fever are also a fatal condition, let alone in a military camp with little medical conditions.

"Your Highness, you have really grown up......"

On the side, as a personal guard, the head of the sect guard, Wei Jiao, looked at Zhao Hongrun and said a word with a smile.

Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes, it was obviously a good word, but when Wei Jiao said it at this time, how could he feel awkward to hear it.

"Seems to be in a good mood?"

After drying his body, Zhao Hongrun changed into a dry robe and asked casually.

Hearing this, Wei Jiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Shicai witnessed such a miracle with his own eyes, isn't it just that he is in a good mood enough to describe it?" As he spoke, he paused, touched his arm and added, "Your Highness, you may not know that the whole person shuddered in surprise as a result of his humble position......

"Tricks?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized: It seems that destroying the city wall of Suxian County in that way today is really a miracle beyond the wisdom of the times.

"Yes, miracle." Wei Jiao solemnly repeated it again, proving that he was really a little excited at the moment.

I have to say that these two people have their own words, and they can still talk to each other, which is also quite interesting.

The two of them were chatting here, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the wooden house, accompanied by the greeting of Zongwei Mu Qing.

"Your Highness? Has Your Highness finished changing clothes? ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun fastened his belt and opened his mouth to let Mu Qing in: "Come in." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the door creak, and Zongwei Mu Qing pushed the door and walked in, with a smile of joy on his face that could not be concealed.

It's just that Zhao Hongrun saw that he was still wet, so he frowned and said, "Why don't you quickly change out of your wet clothes?" ”

"It's okay, the lowly body is very strong." Mu Qing waved his hand, then licked his lips and said mysteriously: "Your Highness, I just met Gao Kuo and recruited them. ”

Isn't that something you get to happen every day?

Zhao Hongrun was a little puzzled, after all, Gao Kuo, Chongzhao and several other Zongwei served as thousands of generals in the Shangshui Army, and they were not like Shen Yu who stayed away from everyone and learned the art of using soldiers by the side of Zhao Yuantong, the prince of Yu, so what is there to be surprised about?

However, Zhao Hongrun didn't ask in detail, because he understood that Mu Qing still had the following.

Sure enough, after Mu Qing sold the guanzi, he said excitedly: "Gao Kuo told them that the merchant and water army are talking about your highness in private......

"Talking about the king?" Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly, after all, the soldiers talked about the coach, this is not a proper thing.

"Yes!" Mu Qing nodded, and said excitedly: "The generals of the Shangshui Army are talking in private, and they feel that Your Highness, you are under the protection of the Fire God......

"......" Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, and was stunned for a while before asking, "Fire God...... The gods on the side of the Chu State? ”

In Zhao Hongrun's impression, Chu does not believe in the Heavenly Father and Earth Mother like the people of Wei, and the beliefs on the Chu side are very mixed, and it has a much richer belief culture than Wei, but the most famous of these gods is the fire god Zhu Rong and the water god working together.

Even, legend has it that the state of Chu also gave birth to a related witch culture around these two gods.

But the problem is that Zhao Hongrun is a Wei person with strong roots, and he is also a member of the Wei royal family, so he actually said that he was protected by the gods of the Chu State, isn't this nonsense?

Hearing Zhao Hongrun's rhetorical question, Mu Qing shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who made Your Highness like to attack with fire?" When you resisted Pingyujun Xiong Hu in Yanling, you set a fire; Later, when you hit Sanchuan, you put a few more fires, although it was with the help of catapults and fierce fire oil at that time, but this is also a fire attack, right? And today, in full view of everyone, you set a fire on the city wall of Su County, destroying a large part of the city wall of Su County......"

"......" Zhao Hongrun was stunned.

After Mu Qing's reminder, he found out that he was already a "senior arsonist" who had committed several crimes.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he defended: "Fire attack is a commonly used tactic in the art of war, how can it be the problem of this king? Besides, I've used water attacks too. ”

Indeed, the now deceased general Che Yu under the command of Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Chu Xuancheng, lost a large number of troops under Zhao Hongrun's water attack strategy, so that his plan to surprise attack Daliang was not implemented, but was attacked by the Dangshan army led by Sima An and died on the battlefield.

Facing Zhao Hongrun's defense, Mu Qing shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't care about himself: "What's the use of your explanation of inferiority?" Almost the entire army of the Shang Shui Army is convinced of this, and there are even people who think that Your Highness, you are either the reincarnation of the God of Fire or the son of the Divine ......."

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun's face changed slightly, and he frowned and said, "Order Wu Ji to stop the rumors immediately!" ”

Mu Qing was stunned, then seemed to think of something, and asked tentatively, "Your Highness is worried about the imperial court's attitude towards this?" ”

Zhao Hongrun let out a long breath, although he didn't explain anything, his face was really a little unsightly.

In all fairness, he was not worried that rumors of so-called divine protection and reincarnation would reach the ears of his father, Emperor Wei Tianzi, after all, his father was a virtuous monarch, and the problem was that Wei was a conservative country.

Especially the Imperial Court Rites Department.

Don't look at the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Du You and Zhao Hongrun have a good personal relationship, and they talk and laugh when they meet on weekdays, but in terms of faith, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are extremely traditional, and they firmly believe that the patron saint of their own Wei State is the Heavenly Father and Earth Mother, and the rest are all evil god-like existences in other places.

If His Royal Highness Zhao Hongzhao, the dignified prince, is rumored to be the reincarnation of the God of Fire, is this still possible?

Maybe the Ministry of Rites will stir up a ceremony to worship the heavens in the future, and ask Zhao Hongrun to write a long confession and sacrifice text, in front of all the people, to confess to the Heavenly Father and Mother the earth for the wavering of faith, and swear his faith to the heavens in front of the people.

Although the Ministry of Rites of the Imperial Court of the Wei State is not an official office that values real power like the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households, to be honest, the object that Zhao Hongrun does not want to deal with the most, except for the Imperial History Supervisor, that is the Ministry of Rites.

After all, in Zhao Hongrun's impression, the Ministry of Rites can be called the most conservative, traditional, and stubborn concentration of scholars and scribes in the Wei court.

However, although Zhao Hongrun immediately decided to put an end to the rumor that seemed to him to be very bad, it was a pity that the incident of Ji Run, the king of Wei Guosu, who used his divine fire to destroy the city wall of Suxian County, was so shocking that it first spread throughout the Shang and Shui armies, and then quickly spread to the Yanling army, and in the evening, even the soldiers of the Fen Cheng army began to talk about it.

This diffusion speed made Zhao Hongrun helpless.

There is no way, because the military career is extremely boring, so that if something interesting happens, the custody will quickly spread throughout the army, even if Zhao Hongrun wants to stop it, it will be useless.

That night, Wu Ji, Nanmen Chi, Lu Zhan, Xu Jiong and other important generals of the Shang Water Army, under the guidance of Cai Baohu, the general of the Xiwei Battalion of the Fencheng Army, came to the wooden house where Zhao Hongrun lived.

The reason why these generals were summoned was because Zhao Hongrun wanted to instruct some things about the robbery of Su County.

Yes, snatch Su County, and from Tian Tan's hands, take Su County first.

Because of Tian Tan's plan, Zhao Hongrun had roughly guessed.

Before the generals came, Zhao Hongrun was talking with Xu Yin, the general of the Fencheng army, in the house, talking about what was spreading in the three Wei armies today.

Facing Zhao Hongrun's complaints, Xu Yin stroked his beard and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Su, although this matter is ...... Well, it violates the ancestral teachings, but in Xu's view, it is also an opportunity. As he spoke, he blinked and continued half-jokingly: "Isn't Your Highness planning to snatch a million Chu people from the Chu State and return home? As long as this rumor is admitted, aren't those Chu people obediently returning to China with His Highness? ”

Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said angrily: "Uncle Xu, are you still talking cool at this time?" ”

"Haha." Xu Yin laughed a few times, then blinked his eyes and said, "If His Highness is worried about the Ministry of Rites, Xu can teach His Highness a trick...... Arrogant and unreasonable, this trick is the most effective against those pedantic guys who are full of sages and saints. ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth and shook his head with a smile.

It is no exaggeration to say that this trick is also used by Xu Yin, Sima An, Bailiba, and Zhu Hai, who have special statuses, if he Zhao Hongrun really dares to use this trick, I believe that those officials of the Ministry of Rites will jointly impeach him.

Because of this kind of matter was impeached, Zhao Hongrun can't afford to lose this face, after all, he is not a general, let alone a martial artist, he is a nobleman, and he must always pay attention to his appearance and demeanor. In this regard, he does not have the freedom to be as free as Xu Yin and other generals.

At this time, Zongwei Lu Mu came in and said, "Your Highness, the generals have arrived. ”

Glancing helplessly at Xu Yin, who didn't take this matter seriously, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said, "Please let them in." ”

After a few moments, the generals went into the hut one by one and sat down on the blankets laid out in the house.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun had also reined in his thoughts, and said to the generals in a deep voice: "Everyone, there is no need to say more about the results of our army today, thanks to your strict observance of the king's orders, our Wei army successfully destroyed a section of the city wall in Suxian, and did no worse than the Qi army, so as not to be compared with them." ”

Just not to be compared? Hey! Qi Jun can't even beat the horse!

The generals said secretly in their hearts, while looking at Zhao Hongrun with a gaze that was almost adoring.

Especially the generals who were born in Chu such as Wu Ji, their eyes were even hotter, as if their eyes were faintly shining, which made Zhao Hongrun cry and laugh, and felt uncomfortable.

"Ahem." Coughing, Zhao Hongrun said in a deep voice: "But having said that, our army has also provided convenience to the Qi army, if this king is not bad, Tian Tan ...... him."

Speaking of this, Zhao Hongrun, who glanced at the expressions of the generals, couldn't help but feel a little angry, because he felt that the generals were looking at him with wide eyes at the moment, as if they wanted to see something magical from him.

As for the battle plan, Zhao Hongrun doubted that these generals had not heard a word.

Tut! I didn't need this trick if I knew I wouldn't have used it!

Zhao Hongrun secretly regretted it. (To be continued.) )
