Although it is necessary to quietly wait for the army of Pseudo-Qi to attack, the measures that should be taken still have to be taken. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhaocai Restaurant was handed over to the shopkeeper Li to manage, Zhao Shuo was relieved, but Li Zhong's 5,000 soldiers, Zhao Shuo had to keep an eye on it.
After thinking about it, Zhao Shuo still transferred Lin Feng and Xuan Hao back from Qinling, and then divided Li Zhong's 5,000 men and horses into three teams.
The first team of 2,000 men and horses was under the command of Li Zhong and was responsible for guarding the east gate. In order to appease Li Zhong, Zhao Shuo made him a captain.
The second team of 1,000 men and horses, commanded by Lin Feng, was responsible for guarding the north gate. Lin Feng's official position also changed from a second lieutenant to a lieutenant.
The third team is also one thousand and five, and they are under the command of Xuanhao and are responsible for guarding the south gate. Xuan Hao's official position is the same as Lin Feng's, and he has also become a lieutenant.
The original Chang'an City consisted of soldiers and horses, about 2,000 people, and Zhao Shuo personally commanded it. Because of the many captains, Zhao Shuo promoted his official position to a major general.
Regarding Zhao Shuo's decision-making, Li Zhong did not express any opinions, nor did he show the slightest dissatisfaction. In his heart, Zhao Shuo will always be his master, and he will always be one of Zhao Shuo's guards.
Zhao Shuo divided his forces, but it was also for the defense of Chang'an City, and he also promoted his official position. You must know that in Chang'an City, in addition to Zhao Shuo's position as a major general, his captain is the biggest official in the army.
He was very satisfied and content, and with 2,000 soldiers, he diligently set up a defense at the east gate.
Li Zhong's performance naturally couldn't be hidden from Zhao Shuo, and after learning about Li Zhong's performance, Zhao Shuo felt a little sorry for Li Zhong. However, there is no way to do this, after all, the puppet Qi army may be killed at any time, and it is too unrealistic to let Li Zhong command 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend the east, south, and north gates.
"I'll make amends in the future!" Zhao Shuo sighed and muttered to himself.
"Lord Wang, there are a lot of complaints from Second Lieutenant Ling, do you want to take this opportunity to let him come out and vent." Mo Qi, who was kneeling in front of Zhao Shuo and had just reported Li Zhong's recent situation, whispered.
Mo Qi is one of the best surveyors under Zhang Chujiu, and has made a lot of contributions, this time Zhang Chujiu was sent to Western Xia to talk about Li Yuanhao, and Mo Qi was specially named by Zhao Shuo to stay.
After Zhang Chujiu left, Zhao Shuo handed over the survey task of Chang'an City to Mo Qi. said that it was a survey, but in fact, it was a private stare at the diet and daily life of the ministers, which was somewhat similar to the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty.
Mo Qi was very smart and knew that Zhao Shuo was deliberately promoting him, so he worked very hard.
"Lingyun!" Zhao Shuo smiled and shook his head. "How many small shells are in reserve?"
After Ling Yun came to Chang'an, he was arranged by Lin Feng, Xuan Hao and others at that time to a secret place to specialize in the production of small cannonballs and other weapons.
After Zhao Shuo arrived, he specially sent a team to guard there. In the past, the general of this team was Zhang Chujiu, but now it is Mo Qi.
"There are already thousands of small shells, but Second Lieutenant Ling's mood is getting worse and worse, and in the past few days, there have been occasional failures. The sound of the explosion made the surrounding people panic, and the administrative yamen and the law enforcement yamen both sent people. Xiao was helpless, so he had to say that it was a special place set up by the prince......" Mo Qi raised his head slightly, and stopped talking.
Zhao Shuo didn't speak, and looked at Mo Qi quietly.
Mo Qi was shocked and kowtowed. "Lord, the little one knows that he is wrong, and he asks the prince to ......"
"You're right!" Zhao Shuo interrupted Mo Qi. "The sound of shells has already been exposed, and the governor of the administrative yamen and the law enforcement doctor of the law enforcement yamen are not fools, they have already guessed it."
Zhao Shuo adopted the separation of powers between the three yamen, and the highest official of the administrative yamen in Chang'an was still called Fu Yin, while the law enforcement yamen and the judicial yamen were called law enforcement doctors and Sima doctors.
Mo Qi knelt on the ground, not daring to say more.
"Let's talk about the other generals!" Zhao Shuo cocked Erlang's legs, picked up the tea bowl, and changed the topic.
Mo Qi let out a long breath and said. "Lieutenant Lin, who is guarding the north gate, is very excited, and he is constantly strengthening the city wall and training soldiers every day, and he has a great posture to do a big job. Lieutenant Xuan at the south gate was different, he neither trained the soldiers nor strengthened the city defenses, but just walked around the city gate with the soldiers every day, not knowing what he was thinking. On the west gate, there was no order from the prince, and the small one just sent someone to investigate. ”
"Oh!" Zhao Shuo nodded and waved his hand. "Alright, let's go down."
"Yes, the little one." Mo Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and turned to leave as if he had been pardoned.
"It's still too tender!" After Mo Qi left, Zhao Shuo let out a long sigh. "However, their main task is to monitor, and they are doing a good job in this regard."
"Lord Wang, good news, good news." Fluttershy happily runs into the room, looking delighted.
Fluttershy's words disrupt Zhao's musings, and Zhao Shuo looks up at Fluttershy. "When will you be a little more mature?"
"Lord Wang, this is a great thing, the slave and maid really can't help it." Fluttershy pouts and says.
"Okay, let's talk, what a good thing makes you laugh like this." Zhao Shuo is intrigued by what Fluttershy said.
"Lord Wang, you better listen to him." Fluttershy grinned and shouted out the door. "Come in."
As soon as Fluttershy finishes speaking, a soldier in tattered armor runs in and falls to his knees. "The little one meets the prince."
"Lord Wang, this is the soldier of the expedition to Longyou, and he came back specifically to report the news, just now I saw the prince meeting Mo Qi, and the slave maid took the initiative without reporting, and I hope that the prince will atone for his sins." Fluttershy bows and bows her head.
"Did you get the news out of someone's mouth?" Zhao Shuo looks at Fluttershy.
"The slave knows it's wrong." Fluttershy doesn't deny it, and her head lowers.
"The little one didn't keep the news, and I hope the prince will spare his life." Zhao Shuo's unintentional words frightened the soldiers, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Shuo.
"Alright, alright." Zhao Shuo hurriedly opened his mouth to stop the kowtowing soldiers. "The king doesn't blame you. Let's talk about it, what news does Longyou have for you to bring to this king. ”
"Longyou was victorious, the Song army was defeated and retreated, and the two Shi adults discussed and thought that one person was enough to conquer the Longyou thief army. Therefore, send the little one back to ask for battle, hoping that the prince can transfer one back to deal with the Qi army. The soldier said tremblingly.
"Yes, they're doing a good job." Zhao Shuo first affirmed the merits of Shi Lance and Shi Zong, and then changed his words and said. "You go back and tell them that Longyou's training is very important, and you can't be careless." After a pause, Zhao Shuo said again. "The matter of Chang'an, let them rest assured, just a pseudo-Qi soldiers and horses, this king has not taken it seriously."
"Yes!" The soldiers bowed.
"Alright, let's go down and rest." Zhao Shuo waved his hand.
"Yes!" The soldiers bowed their heads and departed.
"Will Longyou really go so well?" After the soldiers left, Zhao Shuo fell into deep thought. For Western Xia, he was still a little worried. (To be continued.) )
