Hearing that Zhao Rui was back, Chen Xuan sent a letter saying that he wanted to come to visit.

Zhao Rui was still thinking about cleaning up, so he asked the messenger to go back and tell Chen Xuan that he didn't have to come He would go to the palace tomorrow morning.

The guard who delivered the letter took the order, Zhao Rui also took into account the emperor's majesty, and he couldn't come to see Chen Xuan as soon as he came back, wasn't it a mess of the rules, was he the emperor or himself the emperor?

The next morning, Zhao Rui packed up and went to the court, originally thinking that Chen Xuan just wanted to see him and ask about the cloth, but he didn't think that there would really be a war.

It may be because of Zhao Rui's conflict with the prince of Champang, and now Champa not only does not trade with Zhao Rui, but has started another campaign in Nghe An Mansion.

They invaded all the way to the north, and they had the posture of not giving up until they reached the dragon.

Originally, the ministers of the court also suggested that Zhao Rui's generals Zhao Gong and Arjuna go to the expedition, but Chen Xuan understood that Zhao Gong and Arjuna were Zhao Rui's subordinates, and even if he said it himself, he probably wouldn't agree.

So now we can only wait for Zhao Rui to come back, but the previous respite has strengthened the Chen Dynasty a lot of national strength, and there are two seasons of food income, so the Chen Dynasty currently has the ability to stalemate with the city and prevent them from attacking the city again.

Chen Xuan is still quite worried about the current situation, he can't imagine that he will have to fight again after only a few months of peace, and now Angkor is still attacking the city, there is still an intrusion on Dali's side, and now he has encountered the invasion of Zhancheng, which seems to have returned to the previous state overnight, but there is no longer a threat from Zhao Rui's side.

Zhao Rui still attaches great importance to the war, so he immediately found Zhao Gong and Arjuna.

"You're all going to use mortars, aren't you?"

"Yes!" Both Arjuna and Zhao Gong showed that they had mastered the use of mortars at the moment, and that they had also trained a large number of artillerymen.

"Very good......

Zhao Rui nodded, and ordered Arjuna to take artillery and musketeers to attack the city, while Zhao Gong was lined up on the northern border to resist the Dali people.

Zhao Rui is now also aware of the importance of delegating power, and if a military general wants to grow, he must go through the process of leading troops to hone his training.

However, now Zhao Rui is still more relieved about their expedition, because with the addition of mortars, the combat power is simply hundreds of years ahead of the present.

Which one is not satisfied, and the enemy is covered by artillery fire, and how many people can survive the enemy?

Zhao Gong didn't have any special performance, while Arjuna was very excited, on the one hand, she was interested in mortars and wanted to experience it in actual combat, on the other hand, Arjuna had long wanted to lead the troops to fight alone.

After the two left, Zhao Rui expressed his views on Angkor to Chen Xuan, and now that the trade of cloth has been negotiated, it is okay for the west to hold on, and it is estimated that with the progress of trade, there may be no more war between the two countries.

When the ministers heard Zhao Rui's orderly arrangement, they couldn't help but admire it, Zhao Rui's confident and confident arrangement was not something that the Jiaozhi military general could do.

Then Zhao Rui stayed in the industrial park, constantly adjusting some details to increase quality and efficiency, and only occasionally went to court.

On this day, in the early days of the dynasty, officials from the western city suddenly sent a war report.

"Your Majesty, something strange happened on the Western Front, the Angkor people not only stopped their attacks on Long County and Masha Cave, but also exchanged the Taiping Mansion and the busy area they occupied before to our Chen Dynasty!"

Ooh!

This is really weird!

The emperor and the ministers were all surprised, although Zhao Rui said that with the progress of trade, there would be a possibility of a truce, but now it is too fast, and it will not be a few days since Zhao Rui came back.

"Have you ever looked for why?" Chen Xuan hurriedly asked.

"Yes, the subordinates sent an envoy to the city of Angkor, and the messenger brought back the news that their generals of Angkor said that Angkor and Cochin were also protected by the dragon god, so the war was ceased and developed peacefully! The subordinates don't know what the dragon god is, but since the truce is over, it is also the best result. ”

yes, what is the dragon god?

The emperor and his ministers were all equally puzzled, when did Cochin still have the same patron saint as Angkor.

And what is the dragon god, most people know that the Southern Song Dynasty legend has a dragon king in the four seas, but the dragon god is ...... I really haven't heard of it.

Almost everyone was a second monk who couldn't figure his head, Chen Xuan looked at Zhao Rui, and felt that he had a clear expression, he must know something.

So Chen Xuan asked in public: "Master, do you know the reason?" ”

"Oh, hehe, I know ......"

Zhao Rui's fluttering words attracted everyone's attention.

"Something happened when I went to Angkor, and by accident, the King of Angkor made me their new patron saint of Angkor, the dragon god."

What the!

God, how did Zhao Rui do it.

It is a bit unbelievable why he, a mortal, would be regarded as a dragon god by the Angkor people.

At the same time, everyone thinks about Zhao Rui's identity, he is not only the prince of the Song Dynasty, but also the prince of the Chen Dynasty, and now he is the patron saint of Angkor, in terms of identity, it is simply the best in the world!

But no matter what, it is a good thing to be able to stop the war, when the next dynasty, all the civil and military officials admired Zhao Rui, and now Zhao Rui is simply a demonic figure in the Chen Dynasty, not only in a high position, but also playing around the surrounding countries.

Some officials have seen the power of mortars, and think that the people of Zhancheng and Dali may not have a good time now.

A few days ago, Zhao Rui sent a letter to all the officials, asking them to go to Thang Long for training.

When Zhao Rui went home, these generals came, the three brothers of the Xiong family, Su Tuo, Fang Hongbin, and Sheliwei.

Zhao Rui felt that they should be familiar with mortars, and they would know how to use them and enhance their understanding in the future, so that they would achieve undefeated results in the war against the Yuan army in the near future.

These generals were far away from the border before, although the position was important, but there has been no Yuan army attack, each of them is very boring, and now it is an eye-opener for them to come to Thang Long.

"Oh my God, Lord Wang, is this the newly built industrial park? It's too big, it's so magnificent! ”

Fang Hongbin said in surprise, and everyone else felt the same way.

Zhao Rui has already become the Taishi of the Chen Dynasty in just a few days, and he also has such a vast industrial park, which is really not something that ordinary people can do!

Then Zhao Rui took them to the top of the mountain for mortar test firing, except for Su Tuo, who had been in charge of Wanya Prefecture and had seen it, the other generals were simply stunned by the power of the mortar.

The shell will explode a second time, which is something that no one expected, and when you go forward to see the scene after the explosion, there is no living mouth at least within six or seven feet.

In addition, mortars are more concealed than ordinary artillery, so that people can use mortars to launch unexpected surprise attacks from the enemy.

It can be said that the use of mortars has greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of Zhao Rui's troops, and it can also be said that as long as they are used properly, I am afraid that no force can resist Zhao Rui's troops at present.

When you're busy, time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival of another year, and Zhao Gong deliberately took leave from Chen Xuan and returned to Dabaocheng for the holiday.

Zhao Gong had come back half a month ago, and he didn't dare to appear anymore when he heard that he had beaten the people of Dali.

On the other side, Arjuna seemed to be addicted to war, and the many cities she occupied were still advancing continuously, Zhao Rui saw that she was sending a letter to replenish the cannonballs, so he ordered someone to transport a large number of cannonballs, and at the same time told her to pay attention to her own safety.

Zhao Rui went back with the generals who went to Jiaozhi for training, and after the festival in Dabao City, they would also return to their border cities in turn, and Zhao Rui would also arrange for the mortars produced in Wanya Prefecture to be transported to their team.

The lights in Dabao City are colorful, and there is a lively scene before the festival.

After a few months, there were more houses and more vendors in Dabaocheng, and the agricultural planting harvest was very rich, and the people were able to live and work in peace and contentment.

The reason why Zhao Rui's rear can develop so well is naturally inseparable from the governance of Zhang Zhennan and his civil officials, and their conscientious formulation of measures, including implementation, has solved a lot of things for Zhao Rui to worry about.

Therefore, Zhao Rui's return to the feast this time can actually be regarded as an encouragement and reward for civil officials.

The delicacies at the banquet were so lively that everyone was grateful to Zhao Rui, maybe they were still unambitious officials in the Southern Song Dynasty before, or maybe they were just a small role that was not taken seriously, but since following Zhao Rui, these past events have disappeared.

Now they are Zhao Rui's heroes, and they are also good officials who are loved by the people, and all cities are developing their economies, which can be described as changing the old appearance into a new look, and the civil officials feel that their efforts are not in vain, and they are particularly happy to drink.

Today is rare, Zhao Rui is allowed to drink on the day, everyone naturally has to let go of drinking, and they want to drink happily!

Xia Guixian is also like a fish in water in the banquet, and he is a frequent guest at the wine table, and his words to persuade wine are even more set, listening to everyone's happiness.

However, the side effect is that Xia Guixian is fine, but he just moved his mouth, and almost all the people at the table with him were drunk.

Just as everyone was drinking, there was a sudden rush of horses' hooves, the sound of horses' hooves was like a dense drumbeat, and the sound was beating in everyone's hearts, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

Everyone was surprised, how could there be horses running directly into the palace of Dabao City, could there be any changes?

Zhao Rui also thought of this, put down his wine glass, and stared straight at the position of the door.

The sound of horses' hooves stopped at the gate, and then the gate was opened, and a bloodied staggered in, this person just ran a few steps and fell to the ground, but he still looked straight at Zhao Rui, and his body simply crawled on the ground, wanting to get close to Zhao Rui.

"What's going on, get up and talk slowly!"

Without waiting for others to react, Zhao Rui suddenly rushed to the soldier and helped him up.
