The letter king Zhao Zhen knows that for the present plan, he must improve his strength as soon as possible and build a strong force in the south against Zhao Gou. A Wugong Mountain alone is not enough, and a Linjiang army is not enough. Believe in King Zhao Zhen's plan, then take the Linjiang Army in the shortest possible time, and then turn around to take Guangxi West Road, Jinghu North Road and Jinghu South Road west of Jiangnan West Road. Together with the northern rebels, they marched eastward to contain Zhao Gou. Rely on the richness of the South, accumulate strength, and wait for the chance to finally annex the entire South.
Of course, all this is just the plan of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, provided that things go as smoothly as Xin Wang Zhao Zhen expected. What is to be solved now is not only the hidden dangers of the mountain barbarians, but also the problem of the governor Zhang Ling. Immediately, the letter king Zhao Zhen raised her head, turned to the dragon in the flower, and asked: "Dragon in the flower. If I remember correctly, the reason why you encountered the siege of the mountain barbarians this time is entirely because the mountain barbarians wanted to arrest. Some people have implicated you? Is this really the case?"
"Uh." Although I don't understand why Xin Wang Zhao Zhen suddenly turned to herself, Hua Zhonglong nodded and said: "Yes, it is true, a middle-aged scholar, and a middle-aged scholar who looks a little special. A young man, and some entourage. It seems that those mountain barbarians just want to arrest them, Miss Wu wants to save people, so they will attack us."
"Middle-aged scholar?" Xinwang Zhao Zhen kept flashing through the impression of the literati in his head, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of one that was consistent with what Hua Zhonglong said.
Others didn’t understand why Xinwang Zhaozhen suddenly asked the middle-aged literati, but Ji Qianqian immediately figured it out, and she said to Xinwang Zhaozhen: "Lord. Do you think these people have problems?"
"Yeah." Xinwang Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "According to the habit, the mountain barbarians in the south have always stayed in their own territory and never easily deal with outsiders. But this time they will go out to find someone. Do not hesitate to attack our team. It can be seen that the person they are looking for must be very important. Whether it is the middle-aged scribe or the other middle-aged man. The person this Shanyue barbarian wants to arrest may be the key to solving the problem of the Shanyue barbarian. ."
Speaking of this, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen also simply gave up trying to guess the identity of the middle-aged literati, turning around and saying to everyone: "Anyway, these people are the only clues now. Hua Zhonglong, this matter is left to you. . Even if you search through the various places, you must find these guys out for me.” If the king of letter Zhao Zhen wants to solve the trouble of the mountain barbarians in a short time, he must take shortcuts. Will these people? It was the introduction to this shortcut. Although Xin Wang Zhao Zhen couldn't know it, there was a glimmer of hope.
According to the order of the letter king Zhao Zhen, the dragon in the flower naturally obeyed 100%. It's just that Hua Zhonglong finally managed to rush to the frontline barracks from Wugong Mountain, but the letter king Zhao Zhen didn't assign himself a war mission, but instead asked himself to find someone, which inevitably made Hua Zhonglong a little disappointed. Therefore, Hua Zhonglong replied dullly, and sat back to his position again to sulking.
Wang Zhao Zhen, who had already touched Hua Zhonglong’s temper a long time ago, saw him, smiled disapprovingly, and said to Hua Zhonglong: "Hua Zhonglong, don't play tricks on me. I tell you. If you could be early If you complete this task in one day, you will naturally still have a chance to fight with me. If you can’t do it. Humph, then you can just stay behind me honestly, and when you find it and finish it.”
When Hua Zhonglong heard this, he immediately became energetic, and jumped up directly from the cushion, and gave a military salute to the letter king Zhao Zhen, and shouted: "Don’t worry, Hua Zhonglong will find the old boy in the shortest possible time. Don’t forget the lord, you must arrange a pioneer for me at that time.” This is also the case when Hua Zhonglong meets the lord of the letter king Zhao Zhen, if he is replaced by the great sage king Yang Yao or the leader of the Longquan army, Peng You , Huazhonglong does not distinguish between respect and inferiority, and must be taken down and beheaded.
The letter king Zhao Zhen didn’t mean to blame the dragon in the flower. He laughed and said, "Don’t worry. When will I say anything? What you have to worry about is whether you can find someone in time. If it’s late, we will fight all the battles. It’s all over." Huazhonglong is such a fierce general, the letter king Zhao Zhen can’t bear to leave him behind to find someone. The remarks just now are just a joke. Huazhonglong is the most suitable for the vanguard position. In the future It is indispensable for the letter king Zhao Zhen to send him to the frontline.
The dragon in the flower is different from the dejected appearance just now. He immediately fisted and shouted at the letter king Zhao Zhen: "The dragon in the flower will not be delayed. Now I will find someone for the lord." After that, the dragon in the flower turned around. I didn't want to delay even a moment when I ran away.
Seeing the dragon in the flower, everyone laughed. After laughing, the mountain savage matter was not finished. The letter king Zhao Zhen immediately became cold and hummed: "No matter what the reason is, these mountain savage people. He dared to besie the city blatantly. It is simply lawless. We must teach them a lesson. Otherwise, on what basis should we stand on Jinghu South Road in the future." The underlying meaning of the words of the letter king Zhao Zhen is to use Shanyue Barbarians to build power. Up. As the so-called killing chickens for monkeys, it is precisely to use tough methods to shock Zhang Ling who wants to make ghosts.
Immediately, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen turned to look at Cui Hu and Pang Zheng, and shouted: "Cui Hu, Pang Zheng listened to the order."
Both Cui Hu and Pang Zheng looked straight, and even showed a hint of excitement. They knew that their new mission under the account of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen had arrived. The two stood out at the same time, fisted and bowed down to the letter king Zhao Zhen, and shouted in unison: "The end is here."
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the letter king Zhao Zhen, and he shouted: "You are both locals and familiar with the surrounding areas of Chaling. I will give you five thousand men and horses and give me a good lesson to those mountain barbarians. Let them know that we Shimen Army It’s not comparable to the Southern Song officers and soldiers before.” In the order of the letter king Zhao Zhen, the two of them did not kill the mountain barbarians, because he knew that, let alone five thousand men and horses, even if they were given fifty thousand, they might not be able to kill them. Those mountain barbarians were completely wiped out. Those mountain barbarians hide in the mountains and live in hidden places, so they can retreat at any time. In the mountains and forests, there are natural protective barriers and cover, and it is very difficult to uproot them.
Regarding the first order issued by Xin Wang Zhao Zhen to them, Cui Hu and Pang Zheng did not hesitate at all, and immediately took the order and shouted: "The last general takes the order." After finishing, they stepped forward and took the Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. After taking out a military token, the two of them bowed to the letter king Zhao Zhen again, turned around and left the hall.
With such an arrangement, it can be regarded as temporarily solving the problem of the Shan Yue barbarian. Just as Wang Zhao Zhen thought before, the problem of the Shan Yue barbarian is definitely not so simple that it can be solved. Everything has to wait until Hua Zhonglong takes the middle-aged. Let's talk about it if people find it. The Shanyue barbarian's affairs are pressed for the time being, Xin Wang Zhaozhen turned his head and asked Wang Zongshi: "Wang Zongshi, how is our water village in Ganshui now built?"
Regarding the process of water villages on the banks of the Ganshui River, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen paid much attention to it. I have been fighting against gold in the north for a long time, mostly cavalry and infantry, with very few naval forces. In the future, King of Letter Zhao Zhen will build an unparalleled navy army, so King of Letter Zhao Zhen must lay the foundation now.
The letter king Zhao Zhen intends to wait until the water village is built, and immediately recruit the navy from the tributary of Ganshui, and then recruit a large number of soldiers in the surrounding areas, expand the navy, and truly bring Ganshui under his control.
I heard that Wang Zongshi called his name, Wang Zongshi also sat upright, and bowed his fist to Wang Zhaozhen, and shouted: "Back to the lord, the water village is progressing smoothly. In another six or seven days, it should be built. ."
The letter king Zhao Zhen nodded and was very satisfied with the progress. After all, it has only been six or seven days since the beginning of the construction of the water village. It is already very good to be able to build a water village in half a month. Immediately, Wang Zhaozhen said to Wang Zongshi: "Pay attention to the quality of the water village. We must build the water village into an offensive and defensive water castle. You must not cut corners. It doesn't matter if the construction period is delayed a little, understand?"
What Wang Zongshi worries about most, Wang Zongshi, is that in order to catch up with the construction period, the quality of the water village cannot pass the test, that is, he really picked sesame seeds and lost the watermelon. Wang Zongshi patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I have Wang Zongshi staring at me. This water village is definitely not bad."
Regarding Wang Zongshi’s handling of affairs, Wang Zhaozhen was still very relieved. He nodded, then turned to Gao Xueyong, who was sitting behind Ji Qianqian, and said, “What’s the situation in Changsha now?”
Since Ji Qianqian left, Gao Xueyong has officially succeeded Ji Qianqian as the leader of Changsha. However, Gao Xueyong, the leader of Changsha, is more than simply managing Changsha. Many cities and towns around Changsha, including Changsha, have to fall on Gao Xueyong's shoulders due to the lack of manpower under King Zhao Zhen.
However, Gao Xueyong is not an ordinary person. The local family that was able to be squeezed out before was appointed as the leader of the Wugongshan Nanshan cottage. Naturally, he has a few brushes. After taking over Changsha, Gao Xueyong and Ji Qianqian had already made a good handover on Changsha's big and small affairs while Ji Qianqian was here. Now they have officially taken over, but Gao Xueyong’s men are There is no panic.
When I heard Wang Zhaozhen’s question, Gao Xueyong immediately replied: “Please don’t worry, Lord. Now all affairs in Changsha can be carried out according to normal conditions, and nothing has happened yet. The nails placed in Changsha by several large families and officers and soldiers have also been removed. It’s very clean, leaving nothing behind."
What Gao Xueyong said was that the officers and soldiers and some of the spies sent to Changsha by several major forces in the open and secretly, believe in Wang Zhao Zhen, can be merciless, and they will all be killed when they are found.
Gao Xueyong's answer also made Xin Wang Zhao Zhen very satisfied, everything was ready, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen couldn't help but smile, turned to look at Qian Wenguang, and smiled: "How is the messenger of the governor Zhang Ling now?"
Qian Wenguang also smiled slightly, and replied to the letter king Zhao Zhen with his hands: "Return to the lord, the messenger has come to see you at the chief's mansion every day these days, but his subordinates sent him back to the post every time according to the lord's instructions. But the subordinates saw that the messenger couldn't wait any longer, and he was no longer as arrogant as he was when he first arrived."
"Hahahaha!" After hearing Qian Wenguang's words, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen couldn't help laughing. General Shan Hongfei just sent troops to rescue the Dragon Queen in Huazhong, and the messenger of the governor Zhang Ling came, and everything was just as Ji Qianqian said earlier.
Of course, it is impossible to say that on the face of it. The governor Zhang Ling used a very good excuse to invite thieves from all over the country to surrender the letter to Wang Zhao Zhen. He will play the court and give the letter to Wang Zhao Zhen, the fake Zhao Yan, to control the party and ask for a letter. Wang Zhaozhen's Wugong Mountain Army suppressed the chaos. Thinking of this, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen couldn't help but feel sad for the bandits around Linjiang Military City. These bandits and bandits originally assassinated the running dogs of the Zhang Ling family, but now they are ruthlessly abandoned by the assassin Zhang Ling.
This time, although the governor Zhang Ling was here to show his good wishes to the king of letter Zhao Zhen, but the king of letter Zhao Zhen deliberately dragged him down and refused to meet him. Although Hua Zhonglong and Wu Meier's safety had no results, it was one reason, but the most important thing was to hang on to this arrogant messenger. When the messenger first arrived in Changsha that day, it was very public, and he didn't pay attention to Qian Wenguang, who was going to greet him. For this reason, Qian Wenguang, a well-known good gentleman, was also very angry.
As the lord, Wang Zhaozhen naturally wanted to give his subordinates such a bad breath. It was not appropriate to fight and kill, so I simply trusted Wang Zhaozhen to give everything to Qian Wenguang and let the messenger dry. Anyway, it should be the provincial governor Zhang Ling who is anxious this time, and now he believes in Wang Zhaozhen, Chen Bing, and Linjiang Army. Believe King Zhao Zhen wouldn't be long-winded with Zhang Ling, but he was upset and started a fight directly. Sure enough, after such a delay, the messenger immediately wilted, and these few days have made Qian Wenguang overwhelmed by the uncle's addiction.
But it’s not a way to keep dragging on like this. It’s just a lip-service with the governor Zhang Ling. It’s just lip service that Wang Zhaozhen can’t fight it now. After all, there are thousands of private soldiers in the hands of the governor Zhang Ling, and he can also mobilize neighbors Ten thousand officers and soldiers, after all, once a battle with the governor Zhang Ling would arouse Zhao Gou's army. If it can be resolved peacefully in secret, it can still be delayed for some time, so that Wang Zhaozhen can be prepared.
Now that everything is done, it's time to deal with the affairs of the governor Zhang Ling. Immediately believe in Wang Zhaozhen and said to Qian Wenguang: "Since this is the case, then you will send someone to invite that messenger over later."
"Yes." Qian Wenguang didn't dare to delay, but even if he bowed, he went out and invited him in person. And Xin Wang Zhao Zhen also took advantage of this opportunity and discussed with everyone how to deal with it later.
About an hour later, under the leadership of Qian Wenguang, the messenger of the governor of Zhang Ling hurriedly walked in. This messenger was a literati who was less than 30 years old, and the children of the aristocratic family were extraordinary, and his gestures were full of grandeur. But it might be because he was anxious, and the action seemed a little hasty, but it didn't hurt his demeanor. After entering the hall, the messenger first swept the people in the hall, and finally his eyes fell on the letter king Zhao Zhen, his brows lightly frowned, and he stepped forward and bowed his hands in a salute, shouting: "Linjiang army governor is under Zhangcheng. I have seen Mr. Zhao, the leader of Wugong Mountain."
"Bold, when you see an adult, why don't you kneel?" As soon as Zhang Cheng's voice fell, Wang Zongshi who was sitting on the side roared, his hand was already on the hilt of his waist, and he seemed to be ready to pull it out anytime. Knife.
Zhang Cheng glanced at Wang Zongshi, but smiled faintly. He was not bluffed by Wang Zongshi’s dismounting power. He proudly said: "I am a court envoy who came to visit the army of Wugong Mountain. I am not a subordinate of Wugong Mountain. kneel?"
Seeing that Zhang Cheng hadn't been bluffed, Wang Zongshi didn't know how to continue, holding the handle of the knife and looking at the left and right in embarrassment. If it were the enemy, Wang Zongshi would have drew his sword and chopped it down long ago, but this city could not be chopped down yet. Gao Xueyong on the other side suddenly laughed and stared at Zhang Cheng and said, "You are just a small official. If you don't put my head in your eyes, you can't die."
Gao Xueyong's last sentence was a bit too much. He didn't put the court officials in his eyes at all, and he made it clear that he would rebel. The letter king Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Cheng with a smile on his face, wanting to see how this guy would respond
Zhang Cheng did not panic because of Gao Xueyong's questioning. Instead, he laughed and said: "Although Wugong Mountain is the commander of the Chu State, Chu State is just the Dongting Lake water bandit claiming to be the king. As for the leader of Wugong Mountain, he is even more of a mere bandit. What's wrong with Zhang's rudeness to a single bandit?"
"Bold." As soon as Zhang Cheng said this, he immediately provoked General Shan Hongfei, Wang Zongshi and Lin Yuhu to stand up and roar. And Hu Tianqing, who was sitting at the last seat, waited to look at General Shan Hongfei and the others with naive eyes, not understanding why they suddenly became angry.
"General Shan, sit down." At this moment, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen waved his hand, smiled and motioned General Shan Hongfei and the others to sit back, and then stared at Zhang Cheng. This Zhang Cheng is really bold. Sure enough, Linjiang Juncheng is so handsome. It's a pity that this city is the son of the governor Zhang Ling's family. Given the relationship between the governor Zhao Zhen and the governor Zhang Ling, I am afraid that it cannot be used by the governor Zhao Zhen.
Immediately, the letter king Zhao Zhen smiled and said to Zhang Cheng: "Mr. Zhang has come from a long distance. It's hard work. Everyone doesn't have to worry about the red tape. Come here, give Mr. Zhang a seat."
With the words of the letter king Zhao Zhen, General Shan Hongfei and others would naturally not say anything. The soldiers who had been prepared for a long time walked in carrying a cushion, but threw the cushion directly into the hall.
Zhang Cheng glanced at the position of the cushion, then at Xinwang Zhaozhen, then smiled, and he just sat down like this, and said to Xinwang Zhao Zhen, "Thank you for giving me a seat."
The letter king Zhao Zhen nodded secretly in his heart, this Zhang Cheng endured the humiliation. Seeing that he was only given a cushion, but his face remained unchanged, and he still had to sit and talk to himself, it showed that this guy was trying to create a momentum for himself. Don't kneel or talk, I would rather sit on a cushion on the ground than stand up and talk.
After Zhang Cheng settled down, the letter king Zhao Zhen and Ji Qianqian looked at each other for a moment, and then smiled: "Mr. Zhang, because of military affairs, a certain person has not come to receive her husband in time these days. What a rude. Mr. Wanwang forgive me ."
Zhang Cheng smiled faintly, and said: "Adults are busy with official duties, so how can the villain dare to say anything. Adults, I must have already informed the adults of the villain's intentions. The Song court recruited troops to send troops to the surrounding areas of Linjiang Army to clear out the thieves." This city is also straightforward, and the ass is still warm, so he brought up business.
