Chapter 12 The military situation is like fire
Zhao Fu didn't even ask the reason, he just wanted to know who took over the huge commercial resources and military power of Zhao State now, which was the most important thing.
Zhao can die, but the legacy left by Zhao will definitely not disappear with Zhao.
"I don't know, now the Zhao family has no leader" Zhao Qian smiled bitterly: "That's why the students came to ask the teacher." ”
"What the hell is going on...... Zhao Fu muttered.
"Is your message conclusive? What about others, how many people still know? Zhao Fu thought of one more thing, and he continued to ask.
"It's confirmed, it's my family's henchmen who passed it on by secret message, and not many people know about it...... The news from the imperial capital is definitely not as fast as ours. Zhao Qian hurriedly replied, and specially supplemented the information transmission from the imperial capital.
Then Zhao Qian knelt down: "Please send the teacher!" ”
"Sending troops?" Zhao Fu hesitated a little, the development of this matter was really too fast.
"It's no secret, the student is actually the crown prince of Zhao State, and he is the first heir in line." Zhao Qian took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Zhao Fu for inspection.
"Move to the council chamber, no, go straight to the point!" Zhao Fu immediately decided after watching it.
The military situation is in full swing, and it is too late to discuss it now. The whole thing already has a rough outline in Zhao Fu's mind, Zhao Guo is dead, this is an important clue, as for why Zhao Guo died, he can listen to Zhao Qian slowly later. The most important thing now is to ensure that Zhao Qian and his students can smoothly inherit the throne of Zhao State, which is equivalent to resolving the most terrifying enemy and having the most solid arm from now on.
"An Yuan, call Zheng Yuan and his troops, and the Iron Arm Army will assemble immediately! In addition, he informed Feng Yu and said that there was something important and asked him to wait for me at the south gate. Zhao Fu ordered at one of the attendants outside the door.
"Understood!" Liu Anyuan, who was Zhao Fu's personal guard from the first time the Hu people went south, later took on the responsibility of guarding Zhao Fu after the new Iron Arm Army, and Liu Anyuan was also promoted to join the army. After Lin Ji left, Liu Anyuan recommended himself to continue to serve as Zhao Fu's bodyguard.
Although Liu Anyuan did not have any official position, he was also an acquaintance in the town guard mansion, and soon Zhao Fu's orders were smoothly conveyed to everyone.
Now that the situation in the Lanhe Empire is tense, Zhao Fu cannot mobilize the garrisons in various places in a short period of time, and the only mobile troops are his pro-army Iron Arm Army and the Hu troops gathered by Zheng Yuan. But fortunately, these two armies have experienced the test of battle formations and are rare strong armies in the world. Zhao Fu believed that with these two armies there, there was no one in the Lanhe Empire who could stop him.
"Master." Soon, Zheng Yuan appeared in front of Zhao Fu, he was carrying a long knife on his back, a short knife tied to his waist, and a few daggers wrapped around his feet, looking fully armed.
"Are you healed?" Zhao Fu asked.
"No problem." Of course, Zheng Yuan knew what it meant for Zhao Fu in the middle of the night to suddenly call him to Dianjiangtai, as he said, he was Zhao Fu's sharpest knife, and at this time, there was no need for Zhao Fu's orders, he was ready to unsheath at any time.
"Okay, we're going to do something big this time." Zhao Fu said.
"General, the Iron Arm Army has been assembled." Liu Anyuan reported to Zhao Fu.
"My men are all ready, and they should have assembled at the South Gate by now." Zheng Yuandao felt that the situation was urgent this time, so he directly ordered his Hu Qi to assemble directly at the south gate.
"Very good, one man and three horses are equipped, bring half a month, no, ten days of rations, and we will set off in half an hour." Zhao Fu thought about it, it would take about seven or eight days to enter the territory of Zhao from Lanting, but the grain could still be replenished while it was still in the northwest, so there was no need to carry too much grain so as not to add extra load.
Although the Iron Arm Army was formed as an infantry unit, it was not a problem to use horses to travel after staying in the northwest for a long time. One person and three horses can maintain the speed of the march to the maximum, and the extra horses can also be used to carry food, which is a tactic that Zhao Fu learned from the Hu people, which can greatly relieve the pressure of the baggage troops, and when carrying out short-distance surprise operations, it can leave the baggage troops for individual operations, which greatly improves the flexibility of the army. Of course, once you get caught in a tug-of-war, the drawbacks will soon be exposed - the lack of logistical supplies makes it difficult to conduct a long battle.
However, Zhao Qian, as the crown prince of Zhao State and the first heir to the throne, Zhao Fu believed that as long as he successfully escorted Zhao Qian back to China, supply would definitely not be a problem.
So what we have to do now is fast, fast, fast!
He didn't receive a trace of information when such a big thing happened in the Zhao Kingdom, and presumably the same was true from the imperial capital, so as long as he preemptively completed this matter before Lin Sixing intervened, then the Zhao family would no longer be an enemy, and they would be a real family at that time.
Lanting City, South Gate.
Feng Yu has been waiting here for a long time, after seeing Zheng Yuan's Hu Qi assembled at the south gate, he had already roughly guessed that Zhao Fu was afraid that he would send troops in the middle of the night, although he didn't know what happened, but Zhao Fu had already used countless facts to prove that Zhao Fu was a strange soldier, and what he had to do was to be optimistic about Lanting and the northwest for him when Zhao Fu was not there.
"I'll leave it to you, Northwest." Zhao Fu said to Feng Yu.
"I'm sorry, you have to deal with the refugee affairs alone." Zhao Fu turned to Xu Lingling and said.
"It's okay, then I won't send it anymore." Xu Lingling followed all the way to the city gate, she knew that this was what Zhao Fu should do, and she also had something she had to do.
"You too, if you have any difficulties, just tell Feng Yu and them, don't support everything alone." Zhao Fu emphasized again that he must not be afraid of trouble.
"Good...... You, stay safe! Xu Lingling said.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal, at most a month, I will definitely come back." Zhao Fu said with a smile, if it weren't for the fact that he hadn't confirmed the allegiance of the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry, he wouldn't even want to take the army out of the northwest.
"Then I'll wait for you." Xu Lingling smiled and watched Zhao Fu leave the city gate.
"Ahh Not long after leaving the city gate, Zhao Qian suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong, forgot something?" Zhao Fu asked.
"Indeed, I forgot to look at the Holy Maiden a few more times." Zhao Qian said.
"At this time, you are still poor, it seems that you are in a good mood." Zhao Fu was a little speechless.
"That's it, I'm going to be the king of a country, and I'm a little excited when I think about it, but then again, my sister is really good-looking......" Zhao Qian continued to say poorly.
"Stop, stop, your master, you are still enjoying happiness in the imperial capital." Zhao Fu used his horsewhip to make a breaking sound in the air to warn Zhao Qian not to talk nonsense.
