Chapter 87

In fact, Zhao Hongrun actually has many improvement plans for the tank, such as the shock absorption of the tank.

But unfortunately, not to mention Dawei, there is probably no such thing as rubber in the whole world, and the Smelting Bureau cannot make springs at present, so Zhao Hongrun can only give up this plan, and chooses to weaken the speed and mobility of the chariot to improve the defensive performance of the chariot, and purely use the chariot as a moving fortress.

There is no need for high speed and the performance of the chariot in cornering, Zhao Hongrun only needs these chariots to have the effect of driving away the Chu soldiers.

After all, even if he was far away in Daliang, he was already thinking about how to repel the Chu army in Yingshui, and gradually perfected the idea in his heart.

After entrusting the transformation of all the chariots to Wang Fu of the Smelting Bureau, Zhao Hongrun took the guards to a water pavilion.

Because he went to the Yingshui battlefield this time, I don't know how long it will take to come back, so I have to inform Miss Su, so as not to worry about her, after all, she is a woman who has had a skin-to-skin relationship with him.

The excuse is very simple, Zhao Hongrun only told Miss Su that he wanted to go back to his hometown, as for the location, just talk nonsense, as long as he is not in Daliang.

As for Zhao Hongrun's excuse, Miss Su seems to only care about what he Zhao Hongrun is doing when he returns to his hometown.

When Zhao Hongrun heard that he was going back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, the worried look in Miss Su's eyes immediately disappeared.

It seems that she is worried about whether Zhao Hongrun will go back to her hometown and go on a blind date or something......

After sitting in the water pavilion for a while, Zhao Hongrun returned to the palace, after all, going to the battlefield in person was such a big thing, he always got Ningxiang Palace to talk to his mother Shen Shufei.

However, to his surprise, Wei Tianzi had already told Shen Shufei about this, and Shen Shufei did not stop him.

After all, Wei Tianzi's other son, the fourth prince Yan Wang Hongjiang, had already set off for Nanyan today, and the government and the opposition had already learned about it.

"I didn't expect the fourth brother to walk in front of me......"

That night, Wei Tianzi, Shen Shufei, Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan had dinner together in Ningxiang Palace, and when they learned about it from Wei Tianzi, Zhao Hongrun was also a little surprised.

He really didn't expect that what he said in the Junshui camp a few days ago would actually move the fourth brother.

"It's not just Hongjiang ......"

Wei Tianzi subconsciously almost told the sixth prince Zhao Hongzhao who took the initiative to ask him to go to the Qi State as a hostage, but fortunately, he stopped talking in time.

"I mean that Hongyu ......," Wei Tianzi temporarily changed his tone.

"Second Emperor Brother?" Zhao Hongrun was surprised to hear the name of the second emperor's brother Yongwang Hongyu from Wei Tianzi's mouth, and asked suspiciously, "Did the second emperor's brother do something?" ”

Wei Tianzi smiled when he heard this: "He implores the household department for the time being to help you coordinate the military salary and military rations......

"Brother Yongwang is really ...... See the stitches.'"

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but admire the "speed" of Yongwang Hongyu, and then when Great Wei declared war on Chu, he naturally mixed into the household under the banner of support.

"Father agreed?" Zhao Hongrun asked curiously. After all, in his opinion, Yongwang Hongyu's move was obviously intended to officially intervene in the affairs of the household department, and according to common sense, Wei Tianzi should not agree.

However, to his surprise, Wei Tianzi said with a smile: "No one objected, why didn't I agree?" …… Some people are one step behind and can only blame themselves. ”

"Some people...... Is that the prince of the East Palace?'

Zhao Hongrun didn't ask about it again with interest, after all, after the original Duanyang Festival Wende Palace, he was more inclined to the latter between the prince of the East Palace and Yongwang Hongyu, and now Wei Tianzi acquiesced to Yongwang Hongyu to stretch out his hand to the household, and Zhao Hongrun was just happy for the second emperor brother.

"By the way, this is for you."

As if remembering something, Wei Tianzi took out three finger-thick gold talismans from his arms, handed them to Zhao Hongrun casually and said, "Three chances." …… Give it to the generals, and I will not hold them accountable for their faults. ”

The implication is that Zhao Hongrun has three opportunities to unconditionally order the front-line generals, and in these three opportunities, as long as those generals obey his Zhao Hongrun's orders and have a golden order in their hands, then the Son of Heaven will not pursue the mistakes of those front-line generals who were defeated because of Zhao Hongrun, which is equivalent to a "peace of mind pill".

Carefully took the three talismans and handed them to Zong Wei Shen Yu for safekeeping, Zhao Hongrun said with an awkward expression: "Father is so sure that the emperor will make mistakes?" ”

Wei Tianzi smiled but said nothing.

Then, he diverted the topic and said, "Baili Ba told me that you don't seem to ask him to march to Yanling in a hurry. …… Tell me about your plans. ”

Seeing that when it came to business, the expression on Zhao Hongrun's face was also much more serious, and he said solemnly: "Father, the emperor thinks so, the Chu army has broken through many of my cities all the way, and the troops are in full swing. …… Therefore, the emperor was ready to block the Chu army in Yanling for some time to wear down the spirit of the Chu army. Therefore, even if the Junshui battalion arrived at Yanling early, it would not be useful, rather than rushing to Yanling, which consumed the physical strength and fighting spirit of the soldiers and generals of the Junshui battalion, it was better to ask them to hurry slowly...... In this way, by the time they arrived at Yanling, most of the sharp spirit of the Chu army had been almost exhausted, and the morale of the soldiers and generals of the Junshui battalion was high......"

"That's ......" Wei Tianzi nodded when he heard this, and then frowned and asked, "But Yan Ling...... How long can it last? ”

"At this point, the emperor can rest assured, according to the emperor's inference, Yan Ling should have gathered the defeated troops on the front line at present, I believe that the strength is not a problem, but the morale is low, I believe that tomorrow the emperor will go to Yan Ling in person, which will definitely boost the morale of Yan Ling's soldiers and generals......"

"Tomorrow?" Wei Tianzi was stunned.

Next to her, Concubine Shen Shufei was also a little surprised: "Hongrun, are you leaving tomorrow?" ”

Zhao Hongrun said respectfully: "Mother, although the emperor generally knows about the frontline, it is not as careful as I look at it with my own eyes...... After all, it is a major military matter, and the emperor got Yanling, and only in combination with the specific situation there can he make a decision. ”

Concubine Shen Shufei opened her mouth for a long time and stopped, and finally sighed and said, "That...... Then tomorrow you will bring more thick clothes. ”

Zhao Hongrun nodded.

At this time, his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan said: "Brother, why don't I lend Zhang Biao and Li Meng to you?" ”

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard it, after all, Zhang Biao, Li Meng and others are the younger brother Hongxuan's Zongwei, and like Shen Yu, Wei Jiao and others, they are all strictly taught by the Zongfu, not to mention that they are all extraordinary, and they are all literate and literate, I believe they will be able to help a lot.

You must know that the Zongwei taught by the Zongfu is not to ask them to be the big soldiers, just look at Wei Tianzi's former Zongwei Bailiba, you can know that it is definitely a candidate for generals, but these young generations of Zongwei currently lack experience in this area.

"Are you willing?" Zhao Hongrun asked.

Zhao Hongxuan smiled and said, "What's so reluctant about this?" …… I believe that Zhang Biao and Li Meng also want to participate in the kind of big battle that is related to the country, but it's a pity that ......"

"It's a pity I can't go......

Zhao Hongxuan finished this sentence in his heart, obviously he also wanted to go to Yanling with his brother Zhao Hongrun, but unfortunately, he was not his brother Zhao Hongrun after all, whether it was Wei Tianzi or his mother Shen Shufei, they would not allow him to go to Yanling together.

It's no wonder, after all, sometimes it's clear that the two brothers are only one year apart, but Zhao Hongrun's talent and maturity seem to be adults, which makes Zhao Hongxuan look forward to envy.

"Okay, then."

Zhao Hongrun rubbed his younger brother's head happily, happy that he had ten more available talents.

The next day, Zhao Hongrun took Shen Yu and other ten Zongwei and ten Zongwei such as Zhang Biao and Li Meng, who were temporarily borrowed from his younger brother Hongxuan, to visit the second emperor's brother Hongyu in the Yongwang Mansion, and then drove to Yanling in a carriage.

Before leaving, he borrowed more than 200 officials and craftsmen in charge of water conservancy, tuntian, construction and other engineering projects from Wei Tianzi from Wei Tianzi, and asked them to set off with Bailiba, the general of the Junshui Battalion, and accompanied by the chariot that Zhao Hongrun asked the Metallurgical Bureau to improve.

And what made the general of the fifth battalion of the Junshui Battalion cry and laugh was that it was clear that Wei Tianzi only handed over the three special golden orders to Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, yesterday, and today, he received one of the golden orders, a letter, and a waterway map from the Ministry of Industry.

"That's a ......"

When he received the golden order, Bailiba was really a little ridiculous.

He had already learned from Wei Tianzi's mouth that Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, had three opportunities to unconditionally order the front-line generals, but he never expected that he would receive one of these golden orders before he set off from Daliang City at this time.

"I don't know what that kid told me to do......

Bailiba shook his head and opened Zhao Hongrun's letter, only to see that there were several things written on the letter, the first few of which he had already learned and promised to come down, such as taking the two hundred transformed chariots to the Yingshui battlefield together, and bringing the more than two hundred officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, although he couldn't figure out what Zhao Hongrun wanted to do.

But the last thing made him frown slightly.

It turned out that what Zhao Hongrun wanted to do was not to rush to Yanling immediately, but to ask him to build a dam near the confluence of the Cai River and the Weishui River to store water. Then, he left some soldiers to guard the dam, and then led a large army to Yanling.

"No wonder he asked His Majesty to transfer more than 200 officials from the Ministry of Industry to my side...... Near the confluence of the Cai River and the Weishui...... But the Chu army is in Yanling...... What does he want to do?'

Bailiba really had a headache, after all, as far as he knew, the current situation in Yanling was not very optimistic, so he naturally hoped to rush to Yanling as soon as possible, but Zhao Hongrun asked him to go to the vicinity of the confluence of the Cai River and the Weishui River first, which couldn't help but make him hesitate.

"Huh? Cai He......

Bailiba seemed to have thought of something, carefully checked the waterway map in his hand, and showed a little thoughtfulness on his face.

"Is His Royal Highness King Su worried that the Chu army will go up the Cai River by boat and go straight to Daliang? …… But this move is tantamount to going deep alone, and the Chu army doesn't dare to do it...... But if this is not possible, the Chu army is attacking Yanling right now, and this Yanling is far from the Cai River, so what is the purpose of setting up a dam to store water in the Cai River?"

"What the hell was he thinking?"

Bailiba is a little incomprehensible.
