Chapter 857: Autumn

For many days after that, Zhao Hongrun lived quite leisurely, except for focusing on the Metallurgical Bureau and the Langgang Military Camp, he occasionally paid attention to the war in northern Xinjiang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the leadership of Director Wang Fu, several departments under its jurisdiction have developed impressively, the only regret is that the form of the Smelting Bureau and the Ministry of Industry have duplicated, and the two sides are not subordinate, because there is no too high status in the imperial court.

However, Zhao Hongrun didn't care about this, after all, his positioning of the Smelting Bureau was like the industrial and metallurgical research and development institution of Wei, not the imperial court like the Ministry of Industry.

What's more, the relationship between the Metallurgical Bureau and the Ministry of Industry is very close, so why bother to make the officials of the Ministry of Industry feel guilty for some meaningless name.

As for the Langgang military camp, that is, the Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army, in addition to the drills these days, Zhao Hongrun also asked Lintaojun Wei Ji to explain various situations about the Qin army to the high-level generals of the two armies, after all, Lintaojun Wei Ji had fought with the Qin army's army many times, and he was the person who knew the Qin army best in Wei except Jiang Wei.

Moreover, if nothing else, Lintao Jun Wei Ji will accompany Zhao Hongrun to fight with the Qin army in the future, so he should be introduced to Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and others in advance, so as not to be born in time.

As for how to arrange Lintao Jun Wei Ji, this is really a problem.

In fact, if it was to fight with the Qin army, Lintaojun Wei Ji was actually more suitable than Zhao Hongrun as the commander of the three armies, but the problem was that the Shang Shui Army and the Yan Ling Army were very unfamiliar with Wei Ji, so how could they be convinced? Moreover, Lintao Jun Wei Ji once commanded the Longxi Wei army, not the Wei army, he actually did not understand the strength of the Wei army, if he rashly appointed Lintao Jun Wei Ji as the commander-in-chief, and removed the question of whether the Shang Shui Army and the Yan Ling Army were convinced, I am afraid that Lintao Jun Wei Ji himself would also fall into a dazed situation.

Of course, Zhao Hongrun also thought about letting Qu Cheng or Wu Ji assist Wu Ji, but if you think about it carefully, Qu Cheng and Wu Ji have just been promoted to generals, and at this time, let them assist Wei Ji as deputy generals, which is not conducive to Wu Ji and Qu Cheng continuing to be in charge of the Shang Water Army and Yan Ling Army in the future.

For this reason, Zhao Hongrun thought about it and finally appointed Lintaojun Wei Ji as the general staff.

To put it bluntly, it is the commander's staff officer, who has a high status, but has almost no military power, as for adding a general word, it is actually just to make it more pleasant, showing that Zhao Hongrun respects Wei Ji, and in fact there is no use for birds.

I have to say that Zhao Hongrun was also a little ashamed to let Lintaojun Wei Ji, who used to be in Longxi, serve as his general, but Lintaojun Wei Ji didn't care about this and gladly accepted Zhao Hongrun's invitation.

After all, in the heart of Lintao Jun Wei Ji, thwarting the spirit of the Qin State at this time is the top priority, as for whether to take charge of the military power, he actually doesn't care.

Thinking about it, if Wei Ji really cared, he would not have resigned from the post of general of the Northern Third Army on his own.

In addition, Wei Ji also took into account the emotions of the Shang Shui Army and the Yan Ling Army.

After all, as far as he knows, although the Shang Shui Army and the Yanling Army are Wei troops, in fact, they are more inclined to the private army of Zhao Run, the king of Su, which means that the two armies are both Su Wang Party, and he was born in the Wei clan of Longxi, if he rashly parachutes down and takes power in the Shang Shui Army or the Yanling Army, even if he has the support of Zhao Hongrun, it is easy to cause the hostility of the generals of the two armies.

You must know that today's Shangshui Army and Yanling Army, the backbone of the army framework has already been determined, and if you force one person to enter, you will be excluded.

But on the other hand, if it is not involved in the military power, then there will be no contradiction with Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and other generals, and when the time comes, these generals will look at Zhao Hongrun's face, and it will actually be easier to guide.

No, the first day, Zhao Hongrun introduced Lintaojun Wei Ji to the generals of the Shang Water Army and the Yan Ling Army, and the generals were still a little vigilant and wary of Wei Ji, but after the news of Wei Ji taking over the post of General Staff General spread throughout the two armies, the attitude of the generals of the two armies towards Wei Ji was obviously much kinder.

Even if Wei Ji later suggested that the Shang Shui Army and Yan Ling Army should conduct some tactical exercises that the latter two did not understand, Wu Ji and Qu Cheng and other generals also cooperated.

After all, there is no stake between the two sides, so why make it cold.

Leaving Lintaojun Wei Ji in the Langgang military camp, he instructed Qu Cheng and Wu Ji to cooperate with Wei Ji to let the Shang Shui Army and the Yan Ling Army carry out exercises to restrain the tactics of the Qin army, and Zhao Hongrun returned to Daliang by himself.

On 17 August, the Junshui Army returned to Daliang.

After the general of the Junshui Army, Baili Ba, went to the palace to deliver military affairs, and then visited Zhao Hongrun's Suwang Mansion, accompanied by Cao Jue, Gong Yuan, Wu Ben, Yu Chun, and Li Qi.

For Zhao Hongrun, the former Eighth Highness and now the King of Su, the generals of the Junshui Army are very emotional.

Especially Bailiba.

Because three years ago, when Zhao Hongrun took charge of the army for the first time and shouldered the responsibility of repelling the army of Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, Bailiba was not very relieved to Zhao Hongrun, and was always worried that Zhao Hongrun's domineering and arbitrary way of commanding the troops would bury the battle.

However, it turned out later that his worries were unnecessary, and Zhao Hongrun was even better than he thought.

And now, with Zhao Hongrun's second victorious return from the crusade against the Chu State, even if it is a hundred miles, the gaze that looks at Zhao Hongrun also has a bit of an upward meaning, so that when Zhao Hongrun affectionately called his uncle, Baili Bao was actually a little panicked and didn't dare to say anything.

However, Zhao Hongrun finally let Bailiba accept the honorific title of uncle.

He respects Bailiba very much, because if it weren't for Bailiba's unreserved trust at the beginning, he, Zhao Hongrun, might not have been able to reach the height he has today.

And Zhao Hongrun's respect made Bailiba feel a little emotional. Because he used to be a junior who watched him grow up, he far surpassed him in only three years, and now he is gradually being named a famous handsome.

“…… I'm not a handsome. In terms of hard work, uncles are. Zhao Hongrun said humbly, and frequently advised Bailiba and others to drink.

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun still respected himself and others so much, Baili Ba was moved, and it was inevitable that there was a faint sense of twilight.

As the so-called self-management is clear, Zhao Hongrun said that only the generals of their uncle's generation can be regarded as hard work, but in Bailiba's view, they can talk about their hard work, but as for the credit, it is not necessarily.

In fact, Bailiba's talent is not high, and his way of using troops focuses on a steady and cautious approach, which is similar to Zhu Hai, the general of the Chenggao army, and Xu Yin, the general of the Fencheng army.

It is undeniable that Bailiba, Xu Yin, Zhu Hai and others were lucky, because they were not only the former Zongwei of Wei Tianzi, but also in an era when the generals of Wei were in short supply, and there were many excellent generals who served in the years when Wei Tianzi ascended the throne as the new emperor.

At that time, the Shunshui Army and the Yushui Army confronted each other, and finally walked on the road to the end of the same end, I don't know how many Wei people sighed.

Because at that time, the Shunshui Army led by Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Jing, and the Yushui Army led by Zhao Yuantong, King of Yu, almost included at least fifty percent of the young generals of Wei.

Later, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was exiled, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, retired, and the Xiao family was executed, and the generals of Wei were withered, so that the strength of Wei's army also plummeted.

It was at that time that Bailiba and the others became generals in one side.

In their own opinion, they just had the right time.

Oh, which does not include Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army, this is a powerful general, it is said that he once made Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, admire, and also made Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Jing at that time, grit his teeth with hatred.

"Oh, yes." When the wine reached the third round, Baili Ba seemed to suddenly think of something, and said to Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, Xu Yintuo conveys his gratitude to you. ”

Zhao Hongrun was stunned, and then understood what Xu Yin meant.

Because if it weren't for him, Zhao Hongrun took Xu Yin and the Fencheng army to Chu to participate in the war of the Four Kingdoms against Chu, Xu Yin, who was suffering from rumors at that time, would not have been able to return to Fencheng so soon.

"What's there to thank you for?" Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Actually, I admire Uncle Xu very much, Uncle Baili, you don't know, at that time, Uncle Xu only had more than 10,000 Fen soldiers in his hands, but opposite him, it was the Chu State Fu who held 400,000 troops and the general Xiang Mo, but Uncle Xu still held the defense steadily, so that Xiang Mo returned repeatedly in vain, tsk. ”

"I know." Hearing this, Bailiba grinned and said: "In fact, Xu Yin's guy showed off to me a lot after returning to Fenchengsai, and I was annoyed to hear it. ”

Hearing this, the generals Cao Jue, Gong Yuan, Wu Ben, Yu Chun, and Li Qi who were present laughed, and deliberately showed such a determined expression.

Everyone happily drank a few more glasses, and then the topic turned to Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, who returned to Daliang a while ago.

Zhao Hongrun could see that Bailiba had a deep fear and prejudice against Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, which was not surprising, because according to Zhao Hongrun's knowledge, the remaining five Zongwei around his father, except for Li Cheng, Bailiba, Xu Yin, Zhu Hai, and Sima An, died in the hands of the Shunshui Army under Zhao Yuanzuo at that time, and on the other hand, Sima An also stabbed a Zongwei beside Zhao Yuanzuo, even after many years, this is still an unrelieved grudge between the two sides.

After another hour, Bailiba, who had drunk to the fullest, took the generals to get up and bid farewell to Zhao Hongrun, preparing to return to the garrison camp.

However, before leaving, Bailiba took out a handwritten letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Hongrun.

It was actually an order-like thing, ordering the latest repeating crossbows, sniper crossbows, and sleeve arrows made by the Smelting Bureau, which were not famous, but were stamped with the seal of the inner chamberlain.

Zhao Hongrun took a closer look at the handwriting and judged that it was the handwriting of his father.

Through the order of weapons submitted by Bailiba, the handwriting of Wei Tianzi, and the seal of the inner chamberlain, Zhao Hongrun immediately understood what his father wanted to express: secretly arming the Junshui army.

"I see, I'll cooperate with the Water Army."

Zhao Hongrun nodded, some of which were not tasteful.

Not against whom, but against the current situation in the girders. (To be continued.) )
