may be too tired a few days ago, on the tenth day of the first month of February, Zhao Hongrun slept until noon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Unexpectedly, after waking up, Shen Yu, the head of the sect's guard, told him that Wu Majiao had led four thousand merchant water troops to come to help, and right now, the four thousand merchant water troops were stationed outside the city of Yuxian County, and Wu Ma Jiao himself had come to the county government with several guards.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun was relieved.

immediately got up and changed his clothes, came to the front office of the county government, and met with the long-lost general Wu Majiao.

When Zhao Hongrun arrived at the front office, Huang Yu, the county magistrate of Yuxian County, was entertaining Wu Majiao with He Zhirong.

After all, Huang Yu is only a county commander, and He Zhirong is just the head of a post station, and Wu Ma Jiao, who is a general with military power, although he is a Chu person who defected to the Wei State, but as a merchant and water army of King Su, it is enough to make many Wei people who despise the Chu people put away that arrogance.

On the other hand, Wu Majiao, the two thousand generals who cowered when he surrendered to Zhao Hongrun, are now also unspeakably expensive, with a new and bright armor on his body, straddle the chair, and put the general's shelf to the fullest.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun took the lead in greeting him and said, "Yo, Wuma, come so fast." ”

Suddenly hearing the familiar voice, Wu Majiao's somewhat smug face suddenly froze, turned his head to look at Zhao Hongrun, and then immediately stood up, with a serious expression, knocked on the ground and clenched his fists, and saluted Zhao Hongrun: "Wu Majiao, meet His Royal Highness King Su." ”

That look, when talking to Huang Yu and He Zhirong just now, it was like two people.

Zhao Hongrun was very satisfied with this, after all, this showed that Wu Majiao still knew who he was and was not carried away by his current status.

"Get up." Zhao Hongrun stepped forward, slapped Wu Ma Jiao with one hand, and said with a smile: "Wu Ma, you are also a general now, so you don't have to make such a big gift in front of this king." ”

"How does this work?" Wu Ma Jiao said sincerely: "The last general is just a Chinese asset, and his current status depends on the love of His Royal Highness King Su." ”

Not to mention, in fact, Wu Majiao and Gu Liangwei really can't be regarded as particularly talented generals, not to mention that they can't be compared with Qu Cheng and Yan Mo, and even the rising star of the Shangshui Army, Wu Ji and other generals, it is no exaggeration to say that the reason why Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao are now the leaders of the Shangshui Army is not only to run the Shangshui Army for Zhao Hongrun, but also to take care of Shangshui County, is nothing more than a reason.

Loyal!

Gu Liangwei and Wu Ma Jiao knew very well in their hearts, don't look at the two of them who are currently in charge of the Shang Shui Army, even Wu Ji, the general in charge of training soldiers and leading troops to fight, is also shorter than them, but in fact, their ability is at best the level of two thousand generals, and it is already thankful that they can be three thousand generals.

If they should vote for others, they will not be able to get the power and status they have now, so whether it is for themselves or out of gratitude to Zhao Hongrun, they will be loyal to Zhao Hongrun.

Because without Zhao Hongrun's support, whether it is Shang Shuijun or them, they may be beaten back to their original form.

And this is also the reason why Wu Ma Jiao came to protect His Royal Highness King Su non-stop.

Of course, in fact, Zhao Hongrun takes a fancy to them, and it is also the word loyalty, after all, Wu Ji can gradually take charge of himself, and he doesn't need Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao to lead troops to fight at all, the latter only needs to guard the business water for Zhao Hongrun, and ring the alarm bell for Qu Cheng from time to time, which is enough.

As the so-called daughter buys horse bones, Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao are the first batch of generals to defect to Zhao Hongrun, even if they are straw bales, Zhao Hongrun will make them prosperous and rich for a lifetime according to his original promise.

What's more, Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao still have some abilities.

"Ordered a hasty march?"

After motioning for Wu Majiao to sit back in the chair, Zhao Hongrun asked with some curiosity.

Because he felt that Wu Majiao's speed was inevitably a little fast, after all, the Shang Shui Army was all infantry, and Yanling was about two days away from Yuxian County, and if he didn't give the order to rush to Yuxian, he would not be able to reach Yuxian from Yanling in one day and night.

And after listening to Zhao Hongrun's question, Wu Ma Jiao said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Su has summoned, how dare the last general delay?" Even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers, it must be day and night! ”

"Huh." Zhao Hongrun smiled when he heard this: "I haven't seen it for nearly a year, but this mouth has become more and more smooth." …… With this effort to learn flattery, read more books, how do you remember my Da Wei's writings? ”

Hearing the words, Wu Majiao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said: "Still learning, still learning......"

Zhao Hongrun shook his head speechlessly.

Let the generals of the Yanling Army and the Shang Shui Army learn the script of the Wei State, which was ordered by Zhao Hongrun at the beginning, after all, since these Chu people have defected to him in the Wei State and become generals with military power, they naturally have to read and break words.

Zhao Hongrun doesn't require them to have too much culture, but you have to understand the official documents, right? Otherwise, as a dignified general, he can't read a few big words, which is too sad.

"Hold on! …… Next time you write a palindrome to this king, you have to write it yourself! ”

"Yes, yes......" Wu Ma nodded his head in a daze, during which he secretly glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and saw the latter turn around to pour tea, knowing that this embarrassing topic was finally going to pass, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "His Royal Highness King Su, in the future tense, I heard from the martial lieutenant of this county, Lord Zou Liang, that His Royal Highness King Su was assassinated on the way this time, and I don't know who the other party is?" So daring? ”

"It's a hidden thief in Yangxia County." Zhao Hongrun said casually, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

Seeing this, Shen Yu, the head of the sect guard beside him, understood, so he briefly explained to Wu Ma Jiao, only to hear Wu Ma Jiao's face look shocked and incredulous.

After being stunned for a while, Wu Ma said angrily: "Your Royal Highness King Su can rest assured, the last general will immediately lead troops to Yangxia, and will kill all the thieves and avenge His Royal Highness King Su!" ”

"Can it be that simple, those hidden thieves in Yangxia have long been eradicated by the imperial court, and it is your turn to make contributions?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wu Majiao angrily, and then thought about it and said, "Don't worry about it first." This king wants to go to Yangxia first to see what the situation is there! ”

Hearing this, Huang Yu, the county commander of Yuxian County, was taken aback, and asked in amazement: "His Royal Highness King Su is going to Yangxia?" I can't go! ”

"It's okay!" Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and said, "This time this king will bring enough people to go with him, Huang County Commander and He Yichang, can you get some civilian clothes for this king?" ”

Hearing this, He Zhirong asked curiously: "Does His Royal Highness King Su want the Shang Shui Army to change his disguise and go with His Highness?" ”

"Hmm. …… This king will not let himself set foot in dangerous places again, and the two of them can rest assured. ”

Seeing this, Huang Yu and He Zhirong glanced at each other and asked, "Your Royal Highness King Su, how many bodies do you want?" ”

"Hmm...... At least five hundred, right? Questions? ”

Five hundred, that is, five hundred full sets of civilian costumes, Huang Yu took a breath in embarrassment, but He Zhirong nodded and said after deep thought: "Contemptible people should find a way to make it up for His Highness." ”

"I'm tired."

"How dare you."

In the afternoon of the same day, He Zhirong had a conversation with the wealthy squires in Yu County, and he made up more than 700 bodies for Zhao Hongrun, after all, the shabby clothes worn by civilians are nothing, and it is a big deal to pay for them from the residents of Yu County.

Although the aristocratic gentry of Yuxian County looked at the entire Wei State, they could not talk about how rich they were, but they could still take out this money.

Spend a little money to please Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, why not?

Without further ado, after waiting for the more than 700 Shangshui soldiers to change into civilian clothes, Zhao Hongrun and the guards took them to Yangxia County.

However, among the daughters, Zhao Hongrun is still placed in the county government of Yu County, and let Mi Jiang and Mi Rui take care of it.

Just in case, the remaining 3,300 soldiers of the merchant army were also stationed in Yu County, and it is believed that Wu Ma Jiao is sitting in Yu County, and nothing will happen to Yu County.

Yangxia County is located in Gedi.

Gedi, as the name suggests, is a place of frequent wars, think about it carefully, Yangxia County was the border county of Wei and Song, and it is not too far from Pingyu County of Chu State, and it is not very strange that people nearby will use Gedi to name this land. Note: The name of the place like Gedi abounded in ancient times, and it generally refers to the so-called place where soldiers must fight.

When they approached Yangxia County, Zhao Hongrun and the guards entered the city first, and let the more than 700 Shangshui soldiers and soldiers enter the city in more than ten batches.

In all fairness, it seems that this kind of cover-up actually doesn't have much effect, after all, Zhao Hongrun feels that those Yangxia hidden thieves are very likely to be still monitoring him in some hidden places, and the reason why he asked the Shangshui army to enter Yangxia County in batches is just to send a message to the hidden thieves in the city: These Shangshui soldiers are not here to fight with you, they are just here to protect the king.

Yes, although he was already holding back a wave of anger in his heart, Zhao Hongrun did not plan to attack the Yangxia Hidden Thief at the moment, because he was really curious about this lawless place and wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of situation was in the city.

However, what surprised Zhao Hongrun was that Yangxia County in his eyes was really ordinary, not as he imagined, a few groups of people killed me, I killed you, and the corpses killed all over the city were almost no different from when they were in Yu County.

Even, when entering the city, you still have to pay the gate tax, which is handed over to the soldiers who wear the clothes of the soldiers.

Strange, the local government is still operating?

Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a while, and asked a soldier: "This soldier brother, where do you pay the taxes you collect?" ”

"Huh?" The soldier frowned and glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and blurted out: "Naturally, it was handed over to the county government, so don't you need to say this?" ”

……

Zhao Hongrun was stunned, and said with a strange expression: "Didn't you say...... Is Yangxia messy? It is said that the prefectural order has been gone for several years. ”

"......" The soldier looked Zhao Hongrun up and down a few times with a strange look, and then lowered his voice and said, "I don't know where you heard this, and I don't want to know." After you enter the city, you will divide the peace, don't make trouble, eat something, stay overnight, and leave tomorrow, and no one will be unfavorable to you...... But don't get into trouble. ”

Zhao Hongrun entered the city suspiciously.

Standing at the gate of the city and looking into the city, he was more and more amazed.

Because he found that the security situation in Yangxia County was indeed many times better than he imagined.

This...... What's the situation?

Zhao Hongrun couldn't turn a corner. (To be continued.) )
