Zhao Shuo has more and more food in his hands, and his mood is naturally getting better and better. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoFor Zhao Cheng's attack, it is no longer to ask him to win, but to ask them to come back intact and provide lessons for future overseas trade.

In the waiting, more than two months passed, and it was close to August at this time. The heat was overwhelming. At Wu Yashi's suggestion, Zhao Shuo had already decided to return to Chang'an.

Chang'an was the first city where Zhao Shuo lived after moving south from Fuzhou. And Zhao Shuo has always wanted to establish Chang'an as his political center. came to Luoyang because Yue Fei sent troops to Dengzhou and Xiangzhou, which posed a threat to Luoyang.

But now, Yue Fei has been named Qi Hou in Zhao Shuo, and the Yue family army has also become a military force to defend Zhao Shuo's rule.

Moreover, after the southern part took the Huai River, the land north of the Dasanguan, the southern part of Zhao Shuo had natural dangers. In this way, even if Zhao Gou wanted to attack Zhao Shuo, he would not be able to defeat him for a while.

On the contrary, Longyou in the northwest, Fuzhou in the north, and even Qidi, facing the Liao State established by Yelu Dashi, the Hamuhei Mongolia State of Mamu Tuo, and the Jin State of Wanyan Wu Begging, these places are almost unsafe to defend.

In the event of a war, these places can only rely on the cities and the small cannonballs, muskets and other firearms invented by Zhao Shuo.

And now, the Jin Kingdom, the Western Xia, and the Hamuhei Mongolia Kingdom have all purchased small cannonballs from Zhao Shuo, and the production of small cannonballs is not too difficult, and it is only a matter of time before they are imitated or even surpassed, in Zhao Shuo's opinion.

Now returning to Chang'an, firstly, a short period of peace has arrived, and secondly, there is a secret arsenal in Chang'an City, and once there is any special situation, it is safer than Luoyang.

Although things were promised, it was easy to come, but when it was time to leave, there were some problems.

Zhe Yanruo and Zhe Yanruo, who used to guard Luoyang, have been transferred to the north bank of the Huai River. Zhao Shuo, who had been stationed in Luoyang for a long time, was also handed over to them. In addition, tens of thousands of people were also transferred from the Yuejia army in Qidi.

This was done to strengthen the defense on the north bank of the Huai River, and to weaken the strength of the Yue family's army in Qidi.

After all, if the more than 200,000 troops of the Yue family army were stationed in Qidi, the threat to Zhao Shuo was not small. Once Yue Fei had any other ideas and led the army to kill, it would be a troublesome matter.

The Yue family's army is strictly disciplined, brave and good at fighting, and Zhao Shuo has begun to equip them with small cannonballs, if such an army goes against him, it will definitely be a nightmare for Zhao Shuo.

Although Yue Fei is loyal to the country, Zhao Shuo has no choice but to do so at this time.

This is the purpose of drawing people from the Yuejia army to form a navy, and it is still this purpose to send people to the Huai River for defense.

During this time, Zhao Shuo was frequently mobilizing the Yue family's army, but in the Luoyang area, he was still the only one who came to more than 1,000 people.

At this time, he was leaving, and the more than 1,000 people were already similar to his guards, so these people must be taken away.

But after taking away more than 1,000 people, what should Luoyang City do? Whether to abandon the garrison and hand it over to civilian management, or to transfer the rest of the generals and soldiers to garrison.

Regarding this problem, Zhao Shuo was really unsure of his mind for a while. Leave it to the civil officials, then who is appropriate? You must know that Luoyang is an important town, in case something happens, there are no generals and troops to guard it, Zhao Shuo is really a little worried.

Mobilize military generals, who to transfer? The generals under Zhao Shuo are either inseparable from the family army now, right? That's against the Hamuhe Mongols. Tune Yue's army? It has been mobilized several times, and if it is transferred again, Zhao Shuo is really embarrassed to open this mouth.

Just then, Fluttershy runs in. "Lord, lord, it's back, it's back......"

Fluttershy looked delighted, and Zhao Shuo couldn't help but ask. "Who's back, making you so happy."

"Captain Zhang just sent a message saying that Zhao Cheng has returned to the port of Laizhou." Fluttershy says excitedly.

"Didn't you say anything else?" If you come back, you can definitely come back, you must know that Zhao Shuo sent Zhao Cheng to the elite Yuejia army, and also provided enough small shells, if this kind of firepower, Zhao Cheng can't calm the civil strife of the Li Dynasty, then this level of Zhao Cheng, Zhao Shuo should be skeptical.

What he is most concerned about now is whether the grain has been shipped back, how much has been brought back, and then whether there is a loss in this battle, and how big the loss is.

"This ......" Fluttershy pouted after hearing Zhao Shuo's question. The slave and maid asked, but he actually said that it was a secret, and he could only tell the prince alone, and the slave and maid wanted to go up and catch him, but he turned around and ran away, and the slave and maid did not catch up. ”

Fluttershy concludes, shaking her head and sighing.

Zhao Shuo is still satisfied with Zhang Chujiu's performance this time. Military secrets, of course, cannot be said casually. Even Fluttershy can't just say it.

Although he was satisfied, Zhao Shuo's face showed unhappiness. "This Zhang Chujiu, when I wait for him to come, I will train him well. How can you treat Fluttershy like an outsider? I can't say anything. ”

"Lord Wang, in fact, the slave and maid also know that there are some things that the slave and the maid should not ask, but the slave and the maid just let the prince know about these people earlier, so he couldn't help asking. Don't blame Captain Zhang, if you want to blame, blame the slaves. Fluttershy wasn't stupid, and when Zhao Shuo said that, her head lowered.

"Okay, cheer up, if this appearance is seen by Ying'er, Yunshang and Yan Wu, it will definitely be said that I bullied you again." Zhao Shuo walks over and comforts Fluttershy, then asks. "How are you preparing for returning to Chang'an?"

"It's been prepared for a long time, just wait for the prince to order." Fluttershy replies.

"That's it!" Zhao Shuo thought for a moment. "You go back to Ying'er. They said that three days later, we would return to Chang'an. ”

"Yes!" Fluttershy is overjoyed and bows.

As soon as Fluttershy leaves, Zhang Chujiu runs in. "Lord Wang, Zhao Cheng and they are back."

"Fluttershy has already said it." Zhao Shuo turned around and said.

"This is the dereliction of duty of the last general, please punish the prince." Zhang Chujiu hurriedly saluted.

"It's okay for them to ask you about unimportant news in the future." Zhao Shuo helped Zhang Chujiu up. "After all, they're all spoiled by me, and if you don't say anything, they won't let you go."

"Thank you for your understanding." Zhang Chujiu replied.

"Okay, let's talk about Zhao Cheng!" Zhao Shuo patted Zhang Chujiu and said lightly.

"There were more than thirty warships, not one missing, and more than a dozen of the soldiers were wounded, but none died. More than 30 boats full of grain were loaded, and the civil strife in the Li Dynasty had subsided. Zhang Chujiu reported all the news in the simplest way.

After listening to Wang Zhang Chujiu's words, Zhao Shuo let out a long breath.
