The battle for the first scorer was between Yang Zaixing and Hua Rong.

Final round!

This time, no one shouted, and the tens of thousands of soldiers in the audience, including all the brocade guards, all focused their eyes on Hua Rong's body.

At sunset, the last touch of afterglow shone obliquely, Hua Rong, dressed in white robe and silver armor, straddled a snow-white war horse, slowly galloped out of the queue with a faint afterglow, holding a three-stone treasure carving bow in his hand, his face was calm and calm.

I saw that he held a bow in his left hand, and took out five arrows from the quiver in his right hand, and retreated four or five hundred paces away.

Zhao Hao said loudly: "Drumming!" ”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The drums of war sounded, and the sound was like a knock on the hearts of the soldiers in the audience, further pushing the atmosphere of the audience to the peak.

The horse's hooves were like the wind, the war drums were like thunder, and in the earth-shattering and rapid drumming, the man and the horse rushed forward like a streamer.

At the moment when the white horse was about to touch the one hundred and fifty paces, Hua Rong had already bent his bow and set up an arrow, and five arrows shot in a volley, and the arrows were like meteors, shooting away.

Five streamers, drawing five neat arcs in the air, fleeting.

The sound of war drums stopped abruptly, the audience was silent, the needles could be heard, and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes were staring closely at the five arrow targets hanging in front of them.

A general in charge of supervising the game rode straight to the target, swept all the way from left to right, and then returned to the field, unable to suppress his excited voice, shouting: "All five arrows hit the bull's-eye!" ”

Ho ho ho ho ~

The brocade guards were the first to cheer, and then tens of thousands of soldiers in the audience cheered in unison, and the huge sound roared like a mountain and a sea.

At this moment, Yang Zaixing rode straight to Hua Rong's side and shouted loudly: "General Hua is really the number one sharpshooter in the world, Yang is not as good as him!" ”

……

The school field competition of arrows not only made the name of Huarong Divine Archery known to the three armies, but also allowed the forbidden army to understand the magic and charm of archery, and the next transformation of the Heshuo forbidden army also became logical.

Zhao Hao appointed Hua Rong as the head of the bow and crossbow of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Yang Zaixing as the deputy head of the crossbow, and Liang Hongyu, Yan Qing, Sun Li and several people who participated in the competition that day were all the head coaches to guide the training of the crossbowmen.

At this moment, Cai You and Cai Mao's recitals also entered the capital with several fast horses, and went straight to the palace.

……

Palace.

In the Ninghe Palace, Zhao Ji was wearing a light shirt, lying on the couch, his eyes slightly closed, and Xiao Cuixiang was sitting sideways, pinching his shoulders.

Xiao Cuixiang's massage skills, after Zhao Hao's guidance, are extremely accurate for the acupuncture points, plus her jade hands are weak and boneless, soft and soft when pressed, but very powerful, only Zhao Ji is so comfortable that she chirps and chirps.

After a long time, Xiao Cuixiang finally pressed Zhao Ji from head to toe, rested, sweated slightly on her forehead, and sat aside.

Zhao Ji's whole body was full of comfort, countless comforts and comforts, and he slowly sat up with the support of the two palace maids, took the ginseng soup handed over by the eunuch, rinsed his mouth, and when he looked up, he saw Liang Shicheng standing aside, as if he had something to say.

Zhao Ji handed the ginseng soup cup to the palace maid on the side, took a soft silk cloth and wiped his hands, and then said slowly: "Guarding the road?" ”

Liang Shicheng saw that Zhao Ji was already busy with his work, so he took a few steps forward and said respectfully: "Sage Wan'an!" ”

Zhao Ji nodded and asked, "What's going on in the north, how many cities have you got, when can you go straight to Yanjing?" ”

It is said that Zhao Ji is also a strange thing, and the Song army has only been in Mozhou for ten days, and the western army has not yet converged, so he asked when he could go straight to Yanjing. Judging from the distance from Bianliang to Yanjing, even if you only march all the way and don't fight, the time to Yanjing is not enough.

Liang Shicheng said urgently: "The old slave is about to report this matter. The army has been in Mozhou for more than ten days, and the western army is about to arrive, but the justice of Longde County is training soldiers and horses, so the troops will not move. If you want to send troops, I'm afraid it will take more than a month. ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, he was stunned.

In his imagination, it should be that as soon as the army of Wang Shi arrived, the Han people in Liaodi began to lead the way; The Han soldiers in the Liao army defected as soon as they saw Wang Shi; According to the banner of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Liao people fled in despair, and even opened the door to offer the city. Now that so much time has passed, how can you capture Zhuozhou, and the three armies should have killed Yanjing directly.

Now that he heard that he was still standing still in Mozhou, he was greatly furious, and said angrily: "Tong Daofu has been caressing the border for 20 years and has experienced a hundred battles, how can he be so timid? ”

Liang Shicheng said urgently: "It is said that this matter is no wonder Tong Xuanshuai, when I heard that this way of marching, the Longde County Office suppressed Xuanshuai and acted arbitrarily, and now in the name of rectifying the Heshuo forbidden army, indiscriminately killing innocents and abusing soldiers, the three armies all complained......

After speaking, he took the two brocade boxes from the hands of the eunuch beside him, and said respectfully: "The specific matter, the old slave only listened to hearsay, and could not confirm it, this is the two deputy envoys presented to the saint, the old slave is afraid of delaying the Northern Expedition, so he is anxious to present it to the saint." ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, beckoned, first took Cai You's recital, and browsed it carefully, his face was already covered with dark clouds. Immediately after watching Cai Mao's recital, his face became more and more gloomy.

You must know that the two Cai Ke belong to different camps, Cai Mao belongs to Cai Jing's party, Cai You and Tong Guan, Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng and others are the same faction, and now the caliber of the two is almost the same, even if he is very fond of Zhao Hao, he has to believe it.

For Liang Shicheng and others, I have seen Zhao Hao repeatedly suppress Cai Jing's party before, and the so-called enemies are friends, so they are not hostile to Zhao Hao, but occasionally help each other. Now that Zhao Hao and the Qingliu Party want to rob the Northern Expedition and affect their interests, that is, the enemy is coming, and the attitude towards Zhao Hao is also a 180-degree turn.

And what made them even more angry was that Zhao Hao was just grabbing the merit, after all, the coach was still Tong Guan, and he couldn't grab the merit, but Cai You's secret letter made them completely angry. According to Cai You's report, Zhao Hao used the identity of the clan and his personal prestige to join hands with the Dao brothers to suppress Tong Guan and the power of the Northern Expeditionary Army, all of which were controlled by Zhao Hao...... Tong Guan is just a puppet.

Seeing that the Northern Expedition, which had been painstakingly managed for many years, was about to be picked by Zhao Hao, how to tell Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao and others not to be angry. Once Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao listed Zhao Hao as enemies, they naturally spared no effort to suppress him.

But fortunately, Zhao Ji is not stupid, he knows that Zhao Hao belongs to one of the forces in the court, and he is at odds with Cai Jing's party and Tong Guan's party...... That's what he was all about. He likes to practice the art of emperor control, and he is bent on cultivating Zhao Hao as a third-party force, and the three forces contain each other, so as to better reflect his authority as a king. At this moment, although he heard that Cai Mao and Cai You joined forces to attack Zhao Hao, he was still suspicious in his heart after all.

Zhao Ji's eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked: "Tong Daofu has a letter to come, even if Zhao Hao is arbitrary, he is the boss after all, is there no one or two words?" ”

Liang Shicheng's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly handed over another brocade box, and said, "Tong Daofu's recital, I was about to present it to the official family, but the official family asked first. ”

This kind of concert that goes straight to the holy hearing, Liang Shicheng does not dare to open it privately. Tong Guan didn't talk to him in advance this time, so Liang Shicheng was not sure about Tong Guan's recital, so he simply temporarily detained him. As for Cai Mao and Cai You's recitals, he secretly inquired about Zhao Hao's impeachment, so he gave priority to submission. I didn't want Zhao Ji to be confused, so he directly asked Tong Guan about the performance, and Liang Shicheng naturally couldn't hide it, so he had to hand it to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji took Tong Guan's recital, looked at it carefully, his face changed again, and he said angrily: "How can Zhao Nephew Qing be so rude, it turns out that there is a reason for it, but the words of Cai Mao and Cai You are one-sided!" ”

After speaking, he threw Tong Guan's recital to Liang Shicheng: "Heshuo Forbidden Army, erosion is like this, Tong Daofu is helpless, complaining to me, what does this mean?" It shows that the Heshuo forbidden army is indeed rotten and corrupt, no wonder Zhao Fuqing wants to rectify this army. ”

Liang Shicheng browsed Tong Guan's recital, and couldn't help but secretly scold Tong Guan for being incompetent, but he said cautiously: "The saint is angry, but the old slave still can't figure it out...... Ma Zhi said, the Han people in the land of Youyan treat Wang Shi hard, once the army is pressed, the Liao people will be defeated without a fight, and the Liao army in the south is only 30,000 or 40,000 people, and now there are 80,000 male soldiers in Mozhou, why do you delay the army? The military discipline of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army is corrupt, and it is not the Heshuo Forbidden Army, and the military discipline of the Western Army is not much better, and it still makes the Western Xia people lose their armor and abandon their armor? Now that the war is imminent, the Duke of Lund County has come to rectify military discipline, and seeing that the north is getting colder and colder, is there a suspicion of delaying the fighter? Besides, the experience of the public commander of Longde County, how can it be worth the Tong Daofu who has been Fubian for 20 years, and now he is a substitute for the kitchen, and the old slave thinks it is very inappropriate......"

Zhao Ji heard Liang Shicheng say this, and fell into deep thought again.

Perhaps, Liang Shicheng also has some truth in what he said......

A clan that has not yet reached the weak crown has only led a soldier once, and has leveled a group of petty thieves, and he has been in Fubian for 20 years and has made great military achievements in front of Tong Guan, which is indeed a bit of a great achievement.

And although Zhao Ji favors Zhao Hao on the surface, in his subconscious, he is a little wary of Zhao Hao after all. After all, Taizu Taizong, a yellow robe and a candle shadow axe, as the reigning son of heaven, it is almost an instinct to guard against the clan.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Ji said slowly: "Give me a decree and send an order to Tong Daofu, as soon as the Western Army arrives, it must immediately send troops to Xiongzhou, and the troops will be directed at Yanjing." Tong Daofu is the commander of the Northern Expedition, and he should lead all matters, and he must not fake others. As a clan, the Duke of Longde County is under the control of the capital, but its main responsibility should be to recruit and surrender the Liao, and not to participate too much in the major affairs of the three armies. ”

Liang Shicheng said urgently: "Obey!" ”

Zhao Ji waved his hand, with an expression of interest, and motioned for Liang Shicheng to retreat.
