Chapter Twenty-Seven: Regaining Prestige
"Senior Auron, why are you here?" Yunru forgot her identity for a while.
Aolong glanced at Yun Ru and said strangely: "Hey, how do you know me?" ”
Yunru then remembered that she was Zhansan, and she was speechless for a while, but fortunately, she reacted quickly: "Of course I know you, you are the gambling king, you are so famous, and there are many people who know you, what's so strange about this." ”
Aolong said to himself: "That's right, the old man's name moves to the north of the river, it's not unusual for you to know me, it's just that the old man doesn't know you." ”
"Mr. Gambling King said with a smile, I'm a little soldier, how can you know me."
Zu Ti saw that Yunru had concealed the past, and changed the topic and said, "Thanks to Mr. tonight, it's getting late now, so let's go and rest first." ”
"Don't worry, what's your name?"
"In Xia Zhanfei, this is my brother Zhan III."
"Oh, Zhan San? It seems that you have some means, thinking that after Zu Li left, Shi Le drove in, and no one could stop him, but now you are blocking Zhang Bin's army with a small Huaiyin City, and the old man admires it very much. ”
"Awards, awards."
"I'm going to ask you about someone."
"Who is it?"
"Her name is Yunru, the third princess of our Loulan Kingdom, and she came to the Central Plains alone to find someone, but ...... Alas......" the dragon said wildly and sighed.
Yunru couldn't help but be moved, but she couldn't say anything, some were just moved by the arrogant dragon and the dragon.
Zu Ti deliberately asked, "Who is the gentleman talking about?" ”
"She came to find Zu Ti, I believe you will definitely know him."
"Of course I know Zu Li, but Zu Li is dead."
"Yes, after Zu Ti died, no one knows where Yunru went, but she didn't go back to Loulan, I was very concerned about her, so I came to find her, I don't know if you can help?"
"This ...... This ......" Zu Ti said and glanced at Yun Ru, who waved her hand.
"What? You don't want to help? ”
"No, sir, you misunderstood, I don't know the third princess you said, our two brothers have not been in the army for a long time, even Zu Ti has only heard of the name, and has not seen him in person, let alone the third princess."
"Don't know? But I think Yunru should also be in the army, otherwise where would she go, I also suspected that she was taken captive to Zhao Ying, but I didn't find it, is Yunru really gone? Said with a sad face.
"No, Aolong senior, the third princess has a great fortune, and she will definitely be fine." Yunru was afraid that he would be worried, so she hurriedly comforted him.
"Don't comfort me, maybe she has been killed by Lafeng, Lafeng has always been incompatible with her, sooner or later, one day, I will unscrew Lafeng's head!"
Yun Ru said in a timely manner: "Senior, why don't you stay in the army, not only to help us, but also to help the court, but also for the third princess, Lafeng has already served Shile, if you want to deal with Lafeng, stay in the army will have a chance." ”
Aolong thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll stay here, and if there is a sending, I will ask General Zhan for orders." ”
"Thank you, sir, with Mr. here, I have a lot of confidence."
Zu Ti said that he ordered someone to arrange for Aolong to rest, leaving Yunru alone to bandage his wounds.
"Big brother, why are you so careless, does it hurt......?"
"It's okay, Yunru, this injury is nothing, fortunately, you prayed for me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back."
"Huh?"
"You don't know how dangerous it was just now, my wooden kite was shot into an iron hedgehog, but I still survived, of course, thanks to the senior of the dragon."
"Aolong's predecessors will enter the Central Plains again for me, do you think we should quietly reveal our identities to him?"
"Don't, there is no ancestor in Dajin, you must not say it, when our Northern Expedition is successful, I will definitely take off my military uniform and go to Loulan with you to raise Aolong's predecessors."
Yun Ru said: "Really? Are you telling the truth? ……”
"Yes, what I said is true."
"I don't believe it, can you let her go?"
"...... she?" Zu Ti knew that she was talking about Jin Ziyan.
Yes, I haven't seen Jin Ziyan for a long time, I don't know how she is doing, and I don't know if I will completely let her go in my heart.
"She must believe that I am dead, there is no ancestor in the world, what can I ......do if I don't let go?"
Yunru said: "Big brother, then I'll wait for that day......"
The next day, Zu Ti summoned all the generals to announce a series of plans for the reorganization of the army.
In the big tent, Zu Ti said: "Generals, the saint attaches great importance to the great cause of the Northern Expedition today, and the purpose of increasing troops and transferring food is to let us destroy Shile and reorganize the rivers and mountains, we must not live up to the expectations of the saints, we must complete the great cause of the Northern Expedition as soon as possible, rescue the people of the north, and strengthen the army to achieve the goal, so I have formulated some plans, these plans not only include training, but also to improve weapons, such as the cannons, flat vans, assault vehicles, and arrows used by the Northern Expeditionary Army before, and increase the hard ballista to deal with Shile's heavy cavalryFrom today onwards, 5,000 people will be dispatched to cooperate with craftsmen to prepare for the manufacture of these ordnance, and as for the funds, I will play the imperial court, and as soon as I get the military funds, I will start work immediately, everyone will prepare separately, and I have already drawn all the drawings. ”
"Yes!"
Zu Ti immediately drafted a song and sent someone to the imperial court, and after Si Jishao saw it, he immediately transferred military funds to Huaiyin.
Since getting rid of Wang Dun, the imperial court has regained the fiscal and tax rights of several states, and the transfer of military spending is naturally easier, of course, the more important thing is that Sima Shao cares about the Northern Expedition and is determined to recapture the Northern Land in the shortest possible time.
Zu Ti got the military expenses and immediately went to the rear to purchase raw materials, recruited craftsmen, and the manufacture of ordnance was carried out nervously.
When the arrogant dragon saw Zu Li's ability to govern the army, he couldn't help but applaud: "It's a good solo flying, compared with what Zu Ti has." ”
Zhang Bin took a short rest in Jiuji Town, and set up camp ten miles away from the town to make a long-term plan.
Zhang Bin wrote a letter to Shi Le, asking him to prepare a hundred stone throwers, and Shi Le sent someone to send him over, so he planned to attack Huaiyin.
Zu Ti's ordnance manufacturing was completed not long after, and if he wanted to defend it easily and gain the initiative, he first had to take back the results of the year, that is, all the territory south of the Yellow River.
Without waiting for Zu Ti to attack, Zhang Bin came to the city with an army of 50,000 troops, but there were 100 more stone throwers.
Zhang Bin was directing the artillery carriages to prepare for the siege of the city, and suddenly his artillery array was saturated with stone shells, and a hundred artillery carriages were smashed to pieces, and then the soldiers began to be shelled, even if the shield was raised, it was useless, Zhang Bin shouted: "Ah! Bead cannon truck! Evacuate! ”
Zhang Bin and Zhao Jun both suffered losses from the Lianzhu artillery car back then, and they were so frightened that they retreated.
At this time, the gate of Huaiyin City was opened, and more than a thousand assault vehicles rushed over, and after the improvement of the car, a sharp long knife was installed, and the speed was faster, and it came to Zhao Jun in a blink of an eye.
The assault vehicles rushed in all directions, and the Zhao army was in chaos.
Immediately afterwards, the flat van car went out of the city, chasing the Zhao army everywhere, and the last 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry troops covered and killed.
The army was defeated, the Zhao army was annihilated, and Zhang Bin fled under the desperate protection of Taobao and others.
Zhang Bin crawled back to the Tiger Prison Pass, and Shi Le was not angry when he saw it.
Shi Le heard about Zhan Fei, Zhang Bin said that he was even more powerful than Zu Ti, Shi Le exclaimed: "What can I do about this?" ”
At this time, Lafeng took over and said: "King, just leave it to me for a mere Zhanfei, I'll kill him!" ”
