"Hurry up, what are you crying about, shouldn't it be a joy to meet?" Zhao Shuo helped Li Zhong up and helped him wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Lord Wang, my subordinates are incompetent, and I can't rush to the side of the prince to protect him as soon as he is in difficulty, I am really ashamed of the prince." The more Li Zhong spoke, the more sad he became, and tears flowed down again.

"Hey~! It's no wonder you. Zhao Shuo patted Li Zhong on the shoulder. Okay, okay, you've worked hard all the way, go ahead and rest in the city. ”

"Lord Wang, do you remember the little one?" Seeing that Zhao Shuo was about to enter the city with Li Zhong, Shopkeeper Li couldn't calm down, walked over in a few steps, and asked.

"Shopkeeper Li! You've arrived, too. Zhao Shuo smiled, and when Shopkeeper Li arrived, it meant that the money had arrived. You've worked hard too. ”

After a pause, Zhao Shuo looked at Li Zhong and then at Shopkeeper Li. "But, how did you two get together?"

"It's a long story, the little one went all the way north to find the prince, went through a lot of hardships, and almost lost his life, but it was General Li who saved the little one." Shopkeeper Li explained.

"Alright, let's go to the city." Zhao Shuo held Li Zhong in one hand and Li Shopkeeper in the other.

"Lord Wang, those soldiers?" Gonggong Feng, who came along, asked softly.

"Li Zhong brought it, I don't worry, let them enter the city." After a little contemplation, Zhao Shuo said again. "Take them to the law enforcement yamen to rest, and the rest of the things are waiting for my orders."

In order to facilitate management, Zhao Shuo set up three yamen in Chang'an City, namely the administrative yamen for handling administrative and daily affairs, the judicial yamen for handling cases, and the law enforcement yamen for supervising and maintaining local stability.

"Yes, the old slave will do it." Gonggong Feng saluted, and then walked to the soldiers brought by Li Zhong in the rear.

Li Zhong kept smiling, without the slightest displeasure, Zhao Shuo's appearance obviously deprived him of the military power in his hands, but he thought it was reasonable and normal. He brought these soldiers back, and it was for Zhao Shuo.

When the group returns to Zhao Shuo's mansion, Fluttershy has already prepared something to eat.

"I'm so happy that Shopkeeper Li and Li Zhong are here today." Zhao Shuo said with a happy face.

"Lord Wang, I heard that the puppet Qi Guo ......" Li Zhong stopped when he wanted to speak.

"I have occupied Luoyang, and the next step should be to attack Chang'an." Zhao Shuo didn't hide it and said.

"On the way here, my subordinates heard that they had divided their troops into two routes, one to attack Shaanzhou, and the other to approach Shangzhou, all of which were not good." Li Zhong thought for a moment and spoke.

Shaanzhou is already under Zhao Shuo's control at this moment, but Shangzhou is under the control of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Shangzhou? Are they planning to go to war with the Great Song Dynasty? Zhao Shuo's face was embarrassed. There are only more than 1,000 Song troops in Shangzhou, which is very close to Chang'an City, and he is still thinking about whether to find a reason to take Shangzhou recently. But now it seems that it is clear that the pseudo-Qi is one step ahead.

If Shangzhou is captured by the Puppet Qi, then Chang'an City will not be exposed to the Puppet Qi army at all. At that time, all that Zhao Shuo could use was the strong walls of Chang'an City.

"When the little one left Lin'an, I heard that the Song court sent Qin Hui to Dajin to negotiate." Shopkeeper Li licked his lips and said very panickedly. "Maybe, it has something to do with it."

"Take it easy!" Zhao Shuo looked at the restrained shopkeeper Li. "You can say whatever you want, I'm still the same Zhao Shuo as before."

"Yes, yes!" Shopkeeper Li nodded again and again. Even if Zhao Shuo said so, Shopkeeper Li was still a little frightened. After all, at the beginning, Zhao Shuo was accompanied by only one father-in-law and two maids, but now he is the overlord of a large area of land.

"By the way, shopkeeper Li, there is a Chang'an Zhaocai Restaurant in Chang'an City, you can rest for a few days, and then go and take over." Zhao Shuo saw that Shopkeeper Li still didn't let go, shook his head slightly, and said.

"Little one, thank you, Lord Wang." Shopkeeper Li bowed very respectfully.

"Lord Wang, I came this time, I still want to be a guard for you, I hope the prince will allow it." Li Zhong said to himself.

Zhao Shuo waved his hand. "Don't talk about that, come on, try Fluttershy's handiwork."

After the three of them ate and drank, and after they were full, Shopkeeper Li whispered to Zhao Shuo and left and went straight to Chang'an Zhaocai Restaurant. He wants to understand the current situation of Chang'an Zhaocai Restaurant as soon as possible, and then carry it forward.

"Li Zhong, it's too wronged to be my guard......" Seeing that Li Zhong was about to speak, Zhao Shuo raised his hand to stop him. Hear me out. ”

Li Zhong opened his mouth and nodded helplessly.

Zhao Shuo looked at Li Zhong and said. "Li Zhong, when you were asked to follow Shi Qi to add Huang Tiandang's great victory, it was to cultivate you. Now that you've learned everything you've learned, and you've become a general who can lead a large army, how could I let you come back and continue to be my bodyguard. In this way, it is too condescending. ”

"Lord Wang!" Li Zhong fell to his knees. "Subordinate......

"Okay, I know what you're going to say, Wang Lung's affairs have nothing to do with you." Zhao Shuo patted Li Zhong on the shoulder.

"Since the prince said so, the subordinates implore the prince to let me take those thousands of brothers out of the city and set up camp outside Chang'an City." Li said loyally.

"Out of the city and set up camp?" Zhao Shuo laughed.

"Lord Wang, Shangzhou has few soldiers, and the Great Song Dynasty has no intention of intercepting Qi State, and his subordinates guess that in a few days, Shangzhou will fall. At that time, Chang'an City will be exposed under the noses of the enemy. "Li Zhong made an analysis of the Tao." The subordinates went out of the city to set up camp and set up camp with the prince, the enemy attacked Chang'an City, the subordinates could be rescued, the enemy attacked the subordinates, the prince could be rescued, in this way, we may be able to defeat the Qi army. ”

"Haha, that's not going to work." Zhao Shuo categorically rejected Li Zhong's opinion. "If you do what you do, we will surely lose, and we will lose a lot."

"Lord Wang, everything is arranged." At this time, Gonggong Feng arranged Li Zhong's team and came back to report to Zhao Shuo.

"yes, thank you for your hard work, come and try Fluttershy's handiwork." Zhao Shuo pointed to the food on the table and said justice to Gong Feng.

Although this was already leftovers, Gonggong Feng was still happy to eat it, because Zhao Shuo hadn't shown concern for him for too long.

"Lord Wang, if we are trapped in the lonely city of Chang'an, the danger is too great." Li Zhong still didn't want to give up and continued to persuade.

"Okay, you've worked hard all the way, go down and get some rest." Zhao Shuo smiled and gave Li Zhong an eviction order.

After Li Zhong left, Zhao Shuo was fair to Feng Gong. "You go to Ling Yun in a while and ask him how many small cannonballs are stored in Chang'an City now."

"Lord Wang, the strategy Li Zhong said just now makes sense, why don't you agree?" Gonggong Feng asked with some confusion.

"Counting Li Zhong's soldiers, there are almost 7,000 soldiers in Chang'an City, and with so many people in my hands, the army of Pseudo-Qi is no longer to be feared." Zhao Shuo smiled and sat down opposite Gonggong Feng. "Let's just wait quietly for the army of Pseudo-Qi to attack." (To be continued.) )
