Chapter 467: A Generation of Emperors (5)

That night, at the reception banquet, after Wu Chu drank two light wines, he got up and withdrew from the banquet on the grounds that he was too strong to drink and his body was sleepy. With him, the generals and officials of Weizhou were a little restrained. I can't drink enough, so why spend it there so that everyone can't play?

Today, he can only enjoy the unique loneliness and helplessness in the prosperity.

Back in the big tent of the Chinese army, Wu Zong sent his henchmen to find the head of the Weizhou intelligence station, Xiahou Ying. This person has lived in Weizhou for generations, so he is also quite familiar with the situation here, and as early as when he set off, he ordered the information from all over the country to be transmitted to Weizhou to summarize, if it is not bad, when he attacks the Khitan in Hebei, Yang Zhiqian, who is still training, can go to Weizhou to lead the intelligence affairs.

For Yang Zhiqian, Wu Chuan is quite satisfied, this person followed him in his early years, and did not have the idea of an official position like people in this era. Perhaps because the ancestor Yang Wang was executed by Li Shimin, in short, he has never been an official. A few years ago, Wu Chuan ordered him to follow Wu Er to Shuzhong to open a trade route, and then every year there was a report on the operation of the Shuzhong workshop submitted to Wu Zhuang, so that Wu Chuan could clearly understand the business situation in Shuzhong, so that it was a few years.

The Intelligence Bureau has always been in charge of Yan Ruyu, but with the change of Yan Ruyu's identity, and Wu Shui has also begun to doubt his woman's practice of taking charge of some things, so he has been looking for such a person to succeed Yan Ruyu. Wu Zheng, the person recommended by Yan Ruyu, was not very satisfied, so he began to pay attention to Yang Zhiqian.

Yang Zhiqian is not a very good talker, but he is thoughtful. Let Wu Chu also admire, it is a simple phenomenon of the rise and fall of rice prices, which can be calmly analyzed. And a response can be quickly made.

Such a talent, how can Wu Zong not use it, and from a certain Cheng dΓΉ, he is still his distant relative, and his mother died many years ago, if it weren't for Wu Zhuang, he would probably starve to death on the streets. So Wu Chu just let Yang Zhiqian die, and he had nothing to say.

What's more, after going through many tests of Wu Zheng. Wu Chuan decided to let him train in the war in Hebei first, and whether he could eventually be promoted to the director of the intelligence bureau depends on his appearance.

At this time, Wu Shui was reading a book in the Chinese army. This is one of the few pleasures he has in this era.

Suddenly. The voice of the guard came from outside the tent, "Your Highness, Xiahou Ying brings it." ”

Wu Chu said slowly: "Let him come in!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" The guards retreated.

After a while, the curtain was opened, and a middle-aged man in a white robe bowed down and stepped into the big tent, and then knelt on one knee and said, "Your subordinate Xiahou Ying has seen His Highness!" ”

Wu Chuan nodded. said: "Get up and talk about the situation in Weizhou!" ”

"Your Highness!" Xia Houying thanked him. Then he said: "Report to Your Highness, after the Khitans captured Pingzhou and Youzhou, they only looted, leaving only a few soldiers to garrison, and recently somehow, the Khitans retreated in the Yingzhou area, and only a few Khitans attacked everywhere and destroyed the crops. The fields that had been cultivated were all destroyed......"

Xiahou Ying's report lasted for half an hour, and finally took out the iron box and handed over the information of the Hebei prefectures to Wu Zheng, because he did not have the authority to summarize the information, so they were all sealed in the iron box and sent to Luoyang regularly. Now that Wu Chu has come to Weizhou, he can only hand it over to His Royal Highness.

When Xiahou Ying came out of the big tent, Wu Cheng looked at the black iron box and didn't move, so let's wait for Yang Zhiqian to come.

The next day, Wu Zheng inspected the Weizhou school grounds, and he wanted to see how Xue Ne's training was. Of course, at this time, there was no longer that rancid human head on the gate of the school yard. Wu Shui stepped into the school yard under the escort of his personal guards.

In the school field, nearly 20,000 soldiers stood neatly, divided into four phalanxes, and when Wu Chu climbed the high platform, the soldiers suddenly shouted: "Your Highness is mighty!" Your Highness is mighty......"

Wu Shan was stunned in his heart, what about this Xue Ne? Will you also be a sycophant?

At this time, Xue Ne, dressed in armor, strode over, came to the front, and bowed and said: "Your Highness is coming, and you are late to greet you, and please forgive your Highness!" ”

Wu Chu smiled slightly and said, "Excuse me, when did General Xue be so good at talking?" ”

Xue Ne's face turned red, and he said bluntly: "Yesterday's cheap teaching, my subordinates are ashamed!" ”

Wu Shan couldn't help but wonder, this Xue Ne is really upright enough, and he even has to talk about this pillow thing. Seeing Xue Ne's embarrassment, Wu Chu immediately said: "Look at this battle, it's decent, let's do it first, let this king see!" ”

Xue Ne bowed and said, "Obey Your Highness's order!" Then he turned around and shouted: "Your Highness has an order, the whole army drills, drums, cheers!" ”

Knock, knock, knock!

As the drums sounded, the sergeant slowly dispersed, then clenched his spear and burst into shouting.

"Hah! Drink! ”

Stepping on the hard ground, a slight splash of dust, and the waving gun, like a storm, suddenly made Wu Zhi's heart slightly shocked, and the roar of the shouting man made people feel that the indomitable heart was beating violently. This is the military might, this is the shock of life, this is a fearless momentum!

Wu Chu didn't get off the high platform, he went to take a closer look at the resolute face, he pressed the sword in his hand, clasped the hilt of the sword, and a sky-high pride seemed to fill his chest, and suddenly, he shouted, "Bring the gun!" ”

Immediately, the guard picked up the spear, Wu Chu took it, and shouted: "Wait for you to retreat!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, what was His Highness going to do, but they all quickly retreated from the high platform, but a pair of eyes stared at the slender figure on the high platform.

This set of standard gunnery was mainly written by Wu Zheng, so he was very familiar with it. Wu Chu clenched the spear, tugged his robe around his waist, and then looked at the movements of the soldiers in the audience, and immediately turned around and danced......

When the soldiers in the school field saw that on the high platform, His Royal Highness was teaching spearmanship, and his momentum was instantly shocked, becoming more and more vigorous, and the shouts shook the sky, like a flood beast. While making Xue Ne and the others feel a slight chill, they couldn't help but wonder, it was really incredible that the roar of so many people could emit such a powerful momentum!

For a while, such a loud roar overwhelmed the people of Weizhou, and they thought that something was happening, and when they heard the sound coming from the school field, they all showed suspicion. But he didn't dare to check on the school grounds, after all, in the early days, the hundreds of human heads on the gate were not child's play.

Following.

After some planning, Wu Chu ordered Xue Ne to be the front army, leading 20,000 soldiers from the headquarters, taking the lead in attacking Youzhou, and first trying the combat power of the Khitans! At the same time, an order was issued to Zhuozhou, ordering Li Duozuo to clear the Khitan soldiers who were wandering and looting from Zhuozhou to Weizhou within ten days, and all of them would be killed.

Of course, the order was issued to the Qinghe area at the same time, ordering Zhang Jiujie to capture Beizhou and clear a qiΔ“ obstacle to attract the attention of the Khitans.

Wu Zheng's order was swift, such a style, but also Di Renjie was sideways, only one day after arriving in Weizhou, he began to act, which made him see the future of the Great Zhou, a hard-working emperor is not only the blessing of the people, but also the blessing of courtiers like him who want to do a great cause.

Wu Chu gave an order, and when the whole army was about to set off, the guards came to report, and Shazha Zhongyi and other veterans asked to see him. He smiled slightly, it seems that the veterans of Shazha Zhongyi are still quite fast, so he summoned Shazha Zhongyi and others.

After a salute, Wu Chuan ordered someone to bring a circle chair and let the veteran generals sit down, and then said: "General Shazha, this king originally wanted you to enjoy the blessings of the rear army, but you are in such a hurry to come, isn't this a good intention?" ”

Su Honghui was angry in his heart and wanted to be angry, but was interrupted by Sha Zha Zhongyi, Sha Zha Zhongyi said: "Your Highness has a good intention, we and the veteran have received it, but we are deeply favored by the emperor, and now we are worthy of His Royal Highness's deputy, we should also take responsibility and fight on the battlefield, even if the horse leather shroud is returned, we have no complaints, but I beg Your Highness not to let me wait for the veteran to enjoy the 'Qingfu'." ”

Wu Chu could hear the dissatisfaction in Sha Zha's loyal tone, so he glanced at it, and saw this group of white-bearded veterans, he really couldn't bear it in his heart, these veterans should enter the staff group, and should not sleep in the open, let alone appear on the battlefield. Killing the enemy in battle should be done by young people in the prime of life, and experienced veterans on the battlefield should be protected.

Wu Zheng's face showed a touch of sternness, which made the hearts of the veterans suddenly tighten, could it be that their thoughts were seen by His Highness? But then I heard Wu Chu say: "All the veterans are veterans on the battlefield, and in the eyes of this king, they should be protected and deserve the honor they deserve." The king cherishes you, and many of you can be the king's grandfathers according to your age. But he still has to go into battle to kill the enemy, how can this king bear it? ”

Suddenly, Sha Zha Zhongyi's little eyes were red, and then he got up and bowed down and said: "Your Highness's words made the old minister ashamed, and he didn't hide it from His Highness, and the old minister thought that His Highness was afraid that I would get the credit, so he deliberately left me and wait." The old minister is here to plead guilty! ”

Immediately, Sha Zha Zhongyi knelt on the ground, and when all the veterans saw Sha Zha Zhongyi like this, they all got up and knelt down one after another, asking for forgiveness.

Wu Chu was stunned in his heart, although he also had a little intention of leaving behind at the beginning, but now seeing that these people are so sincere, he also felt compassion, so he quickly helped everyone up one by one, and said slowly: "What are you doing here?" Doesn't this make this king lose his life? ”

Sha Zha Zhongyi's eyes were red, and he said excitedly: "Your Highness's love, the veteran is unforgettable, Your Highness's words, the veteran's old bones are yours." ”

Wu Chu smiled and said, "You old bones, what do you do with this king to stew soup?" Seeing that Shazha Zhongyi and other veterans changed slightly, he knew that he couldn't joke with these veterans. Then he said: "Okay, everyone, this king has already ordered, the army will leave tomorrow, you and others are all generals on the battlefield, just the flank of this king, you see, how about it?" ”

Shazha Zhongyi and the others were immediately overjoyed, and then bowed down and said, "Follow the arrangement of His Highness!" ”

In this way, Wu Chu divided 3,000 soldiers into generals, and served as the left and right flanks, ready to meet the Chinese army. (To be continued......)
