In the king's tent, Wang Shichong's face was gloomy, and the petition on the table made him feel particularly dazzling, asking to kill Zhu Wei, he glanced at Zhang Zhenzhou who was standing aside, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said in an understated tone: "This king knows about this matter, General Zhang has worked hard all the way, let's go down and rest first!" ”

Zhang Zhenzhou is not a person who is easily fooled, he said: "Zhu Wei is extremely cruel, and he is a famous ogre king in the world, I am afraid that taking him in will affect the reputation of the prince, and it will affect the support of the world's corporal clan for the prince, please think twice!" ”

"General Zhang's concern, this king understands it, this king also knows that Zhu Wei is brutal, now we are only using him temporarily, and after stabilizing Jingxiang, this king will make plans again, please rest assured, this king also cares about his reputation, General Zhang go down!"

Zhang Zhenzhou saw Wang Shichong say this, and he couldn't say anything more, so he retreated.

Wang Shichong picked up the petition and looked at it, and couldn't help but snort coldly, "This group of people will not be spared, and sooner or later they will be wiped out!" ”

Next to him, Wang Ren asked in a low voice: "Uncle, can Yuwen Chengdu's name be on it?" ”

Wang Shichong looked at it, and found Yuwen Chengdu's name at the end, and he was even more annoyed in his heart, "I haven't settled accounts with him about the war horse, and he dares to openly oppose me, this person must not be spared, killing him can relieve the hatred in my heart!" ”

Wang Ren hurriedly said: "What my nephew means is that since Zhang Zhenzhou, Yuwen Chengdu and others have already stood up with those who oppose their uncle, they must not be allowed to take military power, and if uncle wants to do great things, he must first seize their military power." ”

A sentence reminded Wang Shichong that this is indeed a big problem, if he does not firmly control the military power in his own hands, I am afraid that the resistance to his ascension to the throne will increase, he pondered for a moment and asked: "What about your opinion?" ”

Wang Ren said with a smile: "In fact, there is a way to solve it, so that Zhang Zhenzhou can be appointed as the Taishou of Huai'an County, and let him become a civil official, so there is no need to worry." ”

"Good way!"

Wang Shichong praised again and again, and asked, "What about Yuwen Chengdu?" ”

"Yuwen Chengdu is too famous in the army, and my uncle should be a little cautious, and my nephew suggested that he be transferred out of the capital, such as guarding the Tiger Prison Pass or the Kun Pass, so as not to let him affect his uncle's Zen deployment."

Wang Shichong frowned, "Although the method is good, he still holds the army in his hands, and he is still a threat to me." ”

Wang Ren smiled gloomily, "When my uncle wants to raise a big event, and then I will order him to go to Beijing to report on his work in the name of the faint king, isn't he just a sheep to be slaughtered by my uncle?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded, although he didn't kill Yuwen Chengdu directly, but Yuwen Chengdu's prestige in the army is too high, and it really needs to be handled cautiously so as not to provoke a mutiny.

"Alright! It will be implemented according to the plan of the virtuous nephew, but I will not give him any military power. ”

Wang Shichong immediately asked people to find Zhu Yu again, Zhu Ji didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly came to Wang Shichong's big tent, "Is there anything wrong with the prince looking for a humble position?" ”

Wang Shichong threw the petition coldly in front of him, "Look at it! So many important ministers have asked me to kill you. ”

Zhu Yi was so frightened that the five thunders hit the top, fell to his knees, and wept bitterly: "The humble post has done some inappropriate things in the past, and it is really forced by the military rations, not the original intention of the humble position, the prince is the leader of the army, and he should know the consequences of the unstable military spirit. ”

Wang Shichong said lightly: "Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die, I only look at loyalty, and I don't care about anything else!" ”

Zhu Yu heard the mystery, hurriedly knelt down and walked a few steps, grabbed the hem of Wang Shichong's clothes with his left hand, and pointed to his heart with his right hand and said: "The lowly position is loyal to the prince, and the lowly position is willing to swear to God, if the lowly position is the slightest bit disloyal to the prince, the descendants will be slaves for generations, and the children will be prostitutes for generations!" ”

Wang Shichong was overjoyed in his heart, picked up the petition, and tore it to pieces in front of Zhu Wei, "Even if there are tens of millions of people who oppose it, it is not as good as a general who is loyal to me, from now on, you are my general Long Xiang!" ”

Zhu Ji was moved to tears, "The prince knows the grace of the encounter, Zhu Ji can't repay it!" ”

About eighty miles west of Linjian County, a cavalry of thousands of people is resting in the woods, this is a cavalry of 3,000 people led by Luo Cheng, a general of Hu Benlang, although Zhang Xuan looks at his reputation and personal friendship, Feng Luo has become the second general of Hu Benlang after the general, and has become Pei Xingyan's left and right deputy, but this is the first time that Luo Cheng has led troops independently, and his task is to find and annihilate Du Fuwei's logistics fleet.

At present, Du Fuwei's army has retreated from Pengcheng County to the south of Qian County, but there are still grain ships to the north one after another to transport grain, Pei Xingyan simply divided the 10,000 cavalry into three teams, and Luo Cheng, Shao Yiming and Zhao Liang, three tiger generals, led 3,000 cavalry each to search for Du Fuwei's grain ships on the north bank of the Huai River, which is thousands of miles long.

Luo Cheng led the cavalry to run all the way for more than 100 miles, and the cavalry was really a little tired, so Luo Cheng ordered the army to rest in the woods for a while.

But for Luo Cheng, the most important thing now is to supplement the forage of the war horse, each soldier has a forage bag, basically the bottom has been seen, they must find the forage for the war horse before dark, a piece of grass is also fine, or a few boats of forage, but they have run for more than 150 miles, and they have never found a suitable grassland, and the war horse can only gnaw a little grass by the river, but for three thousand war horses, this bit of grass is just a new cup of water, and it cannot solve the actual problem.

This made Luo Cheng, who was leading the troops for the first time, anxious, and at the same time felt great pressure.

Luo Cheng sat on a big stone to study the map, his only hope now is to get forage from the county seat, according to the Great Sui system, each county town generally has a forage warehouse, but Luo Cheng went to a few counties, and the forage was requisitioned by Du Fuwei first, and now he can only try his luck in Linli County.

Just when Luo Cheng was anxious, several cavalrymen in the distance rushed over, and Lao Yuan shouted: "General, good news!" ”

Luo Cheng's spirits perked up, the good news meant that there was forage in the county, and he stepped forward and asked, "What good news?" ”

The cavalry turned over and dismounted, walked forward quickly, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "General Qiyu, we found tens of thousands of catties of black bean flour in the granary of Linli County. ”

Luo Cheng was overjoyed, it was actually a black bean, which was a great surprise to him, although it was just bean flour, it was a delicacy of a war horse when steamed.

He immediately ordered: "Set off immediately, go to Linli County!" ”

Hearing that they had found black beans, the soldiers were extremely energetic, and they got on their horses again and ran to Linli County, which was thirty miles away.

Linli County is a small county, named because it is close to the water, the circumference of the city wall is only ten miles, the population of the county is less than 1,000 households, the residents of the whole city make a living by growing grain and fishing, and there is no business, it is a self-sufficient and calm small county.

The arrival of three thousand cavalry seemed to frighten the residents of the city, the doors were closed, the streets were deserted, and not a pedestrian could be seen. ”

Luo Cheng said with a smile: "The county order is exempt, under Luo Cheng, the cavalry of the Sui army will be the general." ”

"Could it be that the general is the son of the Luo Du Governor of Youzhou?" The county next to him asked in surprise.

"Exactly!"

"No wonder Gongzi is a little familiar, Xiaguan studied at the Lu family ten years ago, and he had seen Gongzi, who was still young at that time."

Zhao Xianling coughed heavily, "Wang Xiancheng, now is not the time to talk about private matters!" ”

Wang Xiancheng immediately fell silent, and at this time, Luo Cheng didn't have the heart to reminisce about the past, he continued to ask: "I heard the soldiers say that there is a batch of black beans in your county, is that so?" ”

Zhao Xianling bowed down and said: "General Huiyu, there is indeed a batch of black beans, last year's drought in the Central Plains, we left some black beans after the disaster, about 12,000 catties, but in order to preserve it, we have all ground it into bean flour." ”

Luo Cheng hurriedly said: "It's okay to have soybean flour, can you lend it to us, our war horses are in urgent need of feed." ”

Zhao Xianling thought for a while and said, "Of course, you can subsidize the generals, but can you convert them into wheat when you repay them in the future." ”

Luo Cheng was overjoyed, "Then we will make up our minds." ”

Zhao Xian Ling immediately reprimanded the county Cheng and said: "You go and arrange for the soldiers to rest, I will take General Luo to the warehouse, do your best, don't think about the relationship all day long and find loopholes, do you hear?" ”

Wang Xian only agreed, and Zhao County ordered Luo Cheng to salute again, "General, please come with me!" (To be continued.) )
