Zhao Lei said goodbye to Wang Su and returned to Zhao Mansion, everyone in the mansion already knew the news that Zhao Lei was demoted to Qingzhou, the usually lively Zhao Mansion seemed a little deserted, the master was degraded, everyone was in no mood to laugh, and Zhao Mansion was full of people with bitter old faces.

"The master is back." The carriage stopped at the door of Zhao's mansion, and Zhu Dali and another Hebei green forest master named Du Mingwen hurriedly greeted him and said.

"I heard that the master is going to Gyeongju to serve as a martial artist, can we go with him! Although a place like Bianjing is prosperous, it is not used to those of us who are accustomed to stimulating the green forest. Zhu Dali, who was tall and sturdy, followed behind Zhao Lei and said straightforwardly.

"Yes! Back then, in Hebei, drinking wine, eating meat, galloping horses, that was called refreshing, now nesting in Bianjing, always feel uncomfortable. "Du Mingwen is less than one meter eight tall, a little stronger than ordinary people, but walking with Zhu Dali, who is more than two meters tall, is like a bear and a deer, very uncoordinated, but this Du Mingwen is the best spy among Hebei heroes.

Hearing the words of Zhu Dali and Du Mingwen, Zhao Lei's heart moved, originally he just wanted to go to Gyeongju to bring Xiao Ruoruo and Zhu Dali, but think about it carefully, Gyeongju is a barrier to defend against Western Xia, maybe this will encounter a war, and these dozen Hebei heroes in Fuzhong are all bandits who have been fighting with the horse thieves of the Liao State all year round, and with their help, they may be of great use in training the Gyeongju army.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei took Zhu Dali and Du Mingwen with them. came to Xiao Ruoruo's residence, after all, these Hebei heroes were left by Xiao Rong to protect Xiao Ruoruo, and without her permission, Zhao Lei was embarrassed to bring them all to Qingzhou.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Ruoruo saw Zhao Lei suddenly come to her yard and asked happily.

"I received a holy decree and went to Gyeongju. There are some things I want to ask you. Zhao Lei unceremoniously bypassed Xiao Ruoruo, walked into her bedroom, poured a cup of tea, and said after taking a sip.

Xiao Ruoruo just likes Zhao Lei's boldness, he is not as restrained as an ordinary scribe, and he doesn't care about Zhao Lei's rudeness, and he also poured himself a cup of tea and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I want to bring Zhu Dali and Du Mingwen to Gyeongju, what do you think?" Zhao Lei pointed to the two people standing respectfully behind Xiao Ruoruo and asked.

"What's this, of course you can, the security here in Bianjing is so good. There is no need to leave anyone to protect them, just take them to Gyeongju to see the ugliness of those officers and soldiers. Xiao Ruoruo looked down on the Great Song Army very much, and said sarcastically.

"You seem to be very dissatisfied with the Great Song Army?" Zhao Lei asked suspiciously, he didn't understand why Xiao Ruoruo hated the Great Song army so much.

"Of course I'm not satisfied, those officers and soldiers. In addition to bullying the common people, when they encounter the enemy, they are so frightened that they run away without fighting, and I often see those officers and soldiers in Hebei who are so frightened that they shrink into the city and dare not come out. Watching the horse thieves of the Liao Kingdom burning, killing and looting outside the city, they didn't dare to say a word! Xiao Ruoruo pouted and said.

Hearing Xiao Ruoruo's slander against the Great Song Army, Zhao Lei retorted with a wry smile: "If you look at things, it is too simple. You only saw the officers and soldiers shrinking in the city, did you see the horse thieves attacking the city? ”

"The horse thieves are all cavalry, what are you going to do to attack the city?" Xiao Ruoruo retorted unconvinced.

"You also said that they are all cavalry, if you know how many cavalry there are in the entire Hebei Third Road?" Zhao Lei asked indifferently.

"Cavalry, I've heard of it, there are about eight thousand cavalry!" Xiao Ruoruo didn't understand why Zhao Lei asked this, and replied suspiciously.

"Then you know these 8,000 cavalry. How many places are they distributed? Zhao Lei continued to ask.

"It's not clear." Xiao Ruoruo said in a daze.

"I know, sir, the eight thousand cavalry of the three roads in Hebei are distributed in the hands of the defense envoys of the twenty-three states under the command of the three routes, and the largest state has only six hundred cavalry." Du Mingwen added behind Xiao Ruoruo that he deserves to be a spy, and this kind of thing is clear.

"I saw from the case file of the Privy Council Military Department that the horse thieves of the Liao State are all cavalry, whistling back and forth, more thousands, less hundreds, so many cavalry, do you think those cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty may fight with them?" Zhao Lei continued to ask.

"Just kidding, those cavalry of the official army, some of them can't even ride horses, how can they be the opponents of the horse thieves of the Liao State, those horse thieves of the Liao State, all of them are elite cavalry, except for those of us who fight against the horse thieves all the year round, it is good to be happy to sort out the official army and not find a cavalry team to fight with them." Xiao Ruoruo said unashamedly.

"Since the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty is not as good as the horse thieves of the Liao State, then the only way to resist the horse thieves is to use infantry, but the infantry is extremely safe to defend the city, but what kind of thing will happen if they let them attack the horse thieves who come and go like the wind?" Zhao Lei asked slowly along Xiao Ruoruo's train of thought, ready to change her opinion of the Great Song Army.

"The Great Song Infantry is too slow, and the horse thieves are only robbing, and they will not fight against the infantry at all, so if the infantry leaves the station, they will only follow the horse thieves and eat dust." Xiao Ruoruo hadn't answered yet, and Zhu Dali behind her preemptively said.

"If you want you to say, Miss Ben doesn't know!" Xiao Ruoruo said with a glance behind him.

Zhao Lei glanced at Zhu Dali approvingly, and continued: "If you want to, if the infantry troops of the border cities of the Great Song Dynasty go out to chase those horse thieves, it is possible that they will be led away by those horse thieves, so that the city will be unguarded, and then the unlucky people in the city will be the people in the city. ”

"My lord said so, shouldn't the officials and soldiers watch the horse thieves wreak havoc on the frontier?" Zhu Dali retorted unconvinced.

"The Great Song Dynasty is good at defense, while the Liao horse thieves are good at attacking, if the horse thieves are allowed to attack the city, they will not have the possibility of success except for failure, but on the contrary, if the Great Song Infantry Army is allowed to attack the horse thieves in the field, not to mention winning or losing, how can they catch up with four legs on two legs is a big problem. Therefore, those Liao horse thieves in the frontier can only be dealt with by cavalry, and in the case of insufficient cavalry in the Great Song Dynasty, they cannot fight with them outside the city no matter what, and they will only bring about their own defeat. Zhao Lei carefully explained to Zhu Dali.

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Ruoruo also asked confusedly at this time, she became more and more unable to see through Zhao Lei's purpose here.

"It's simple. The official family asked me to go to Gyeongju, on the one hand, it is to decentralize, and on the other hand, they hope to borrow my hands to reform the Gyeongju army, and see if I am right to put forward those views on reforming the army, so I hope that you can go to Gyeongju with me and serve as the head of the cavalry, and I will propose to the official family to gather all the cavalry in the Yongxing army in Gyeongju and train a good fighting cavalry. to fight against the Western Xia and Liao, two countries with many cavalry. Zhao Lei finally said his purpose.

"Impossible, even if you build a good cavalry, sir, it is difficult to be the opponent of those horse thieves, we have been fighting against horse thieves for more than ten years, and we know very well how powerful those guys are. Their most powerful thing is to bully the soft and fear the hard, they will fight when they hit the ground, and they will run as far as they can if they can't beat it, and the war horses of the Western Xia and Liao States are far better than the war horses of our Great Song Dynasty, so if you establish cavalry to deal with horse thieves. It's better to be like us and directly bring people to Western Xia and Liao to burn and loot! Du Mingwen pondered and said to Zhao Lei. He was very optimistic about Zhao Lei's ideas.

"Who said that I was ready to deal with horse thieves, I want to deal with the Western Xia and Liao land armies." Zhao Lei said with a dark face, he didn't expect the three people in front of him to be so stupid, and he didn't understand his thoughts until now, but Zhao Lei didn't expect that his statement was originally wrong and had been misleading Xiao Ruoruo and them.

"Army! Most of the Western Xia and Liao ** teams are cavalry, isn't it no different from dealing with horse thieves? Zhu Dali said in a daze.

"Stupid! Of course, there is a difference between the army and the horse thief, and the horse thief can run away if he can't beat it. If you want to run there, you can run there, but once the army receives the order, you can only move forward, and if you run away, you will be killed as a deserter. At this time, Xiao Ruoruo finally understood what Zhao Lei meant, and said with a smile to Zhu Dali behind him.

"But we are also horse thieves, to train officers and soldiers, I'm afraid we can't!" Du Mingwen asked suspiciously at this time.

"Don't be afraid! In addition to you, I will also ask the official family for a helper, he is definitely the best cavalry instructor, with him and those veterans in his family, compared to those troops in Gyeongju, it will soon be completely new. Zhao Lei said with full confidence.

"Good! Then I'll go and inform the others that I'm going to follow my lord to Gyeongju. Xiao Ruoruo looked at Zhao Lei, who was confident, nodded and said.

After getting Xiao Ruoruo and his party, Zhao Lei began to deal with Bai Xinlan, Xiaocui and Yihong, who were already crying, and the three daughters of Yihong, going to Gyeongju was not an overnight thing, and it was not necessarily how long they stayed there! The most important thing is that you can't bring your female dependents, Bai Xinlan and they can't go with them, the life of separation between the two places is about to begin, Bai Xinlan and them, can they not be sad!

"When I go to Gyeongju, the concubines can't follow me to serve, so the officials must be careful about their bodies! In the bitter cold of Gyeongju, the concubine bought a tiger skin from the market for the officials, and the officials should remember to wear it. Bai Xinlan said with red eyes.

"Official! I heard that there is going to be a war in Gyeongju, but there are no eyes for swords and guns, so officials should be careful! This is the peace charm that the concubine asked for from the Baoci Temple, and the eminent monk opened the light, and he will definitely be able to bless the officials with good health and safety. Xiao Cui took out the golden peace charm with cinnabar runes, handed it to Zhao Lei, and sobbed in a low voice.

"That's it! It's just to go to Gyeongju to take office, not to die, you need to ......" Zhao Lei just said this, and his mouth was covered by Bai Xinlan Qianqianyu's hand.

"How can an official say such a thing!" Bai Xinlan was very aggrieved and worried and said to Zhao Lei.

"Okay, Gyeongju is far away from Western Xia! There will be no problem. Zhao Lei looked at the crying three daughters, and comforted them softly.

At this moment, the voice from outside the door finally relieved Zhao Lei.

"The official family summoned Lord Zhao to the palace for an audience!" The familiar and harsh voice of the chamberlain sounded very pleasant to Zhao Lei, and he finally took this excuse to leave a group of worried little women and go to the imperial city.
