Xin Wang Zhao Zhen knew that for the current plan, he must improve his own strength as much as possible, and build a strong force in the south to resist Zhao Gou.Just having a martial arts mountain is not enough, and adding a Linjiang army is also not enough.Believe in King Zhao Zhen's plan, then take down the Linjiang Army in the shortest possible time, and then turn around and take down Guangxi West Road, Jinghu North Road and Jingnan South Road to the west of Jiangnan West Road.Together with the rebels from all walks of life in the north, they marched eastward to contain Zhao Gou.Rely on the richness of the South, accumulate strength, and wait for the final opportunity to annex the entire South.

Of course, all of this is just Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's plan, the premise is that things go as smoothly as Xin Wang Zhao Zhen expected.What needs to be solved now is not only the hidden dangers of the Shanyue barbarians, but also the problem of the governor Zhang Ling.Immediately, Xinwang Zhao Zhen raised his head, turned to Hua Zhonglong suddenly, and asked, "Hua Zhonglong. If I remember correctly, the reason why you are surrounded by Shanyue barbarians this time is entirely because those Shanyue barbarians want to arrest you." Some people have implicated you? Is this really the case?"

"Uh." Although he didn't understand why Xinwang Zhao Zhen suddenly turned the conversation to himself, Hua Zhonglong nodded honestly and said, "That's right, that's true, a middle-aged scholar, and a middle-aged man who looks a little special. A young man, and some followers. It seems that those Shanyue barbarians just wanted to catch them, and Ms. Wu wanted to save people, so they attacked us."

"Middle-aged scholar?" Xin Wang Zhao Zhen kept flashing the impression of this literati in his head, but after much deliberation, he couldn't think of one that matched what Hua Zhonglong said.

Others did not understand why Xin Wang Zhao Zhen suddenly asked about the middle-aged literati, but Ji Qianqian immediately figured it out, and immediately said to Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, "My lord, do you think there is something wrong with these people?" The Great Song Prince 388

"Yeah." Xin Wang Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "According to the habit, the Shanyue barbarians in the south have always stayed in their own territory and never dealt with outsiders easily. But this time they will go all out to find someone. They don't 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 another middle-aged man. The person the Shanyue barbarians want to arrest may be the key to solving the Shanyue barbarian's troubles .”

Speaking of this, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen simply gave up guessing the identity of the middle-aged literati, turned to everyone and said: "Anyway, these people are the only clues now. Hua Zhonglong, I will leave this matter to you Even if you search all over the place, you have to find these guys for me." Xin Wang Zhao Zhen wants to solve the problem of Shanyue barbarians in a short time, so he has to take shortcuts, will these people know? It is the introduction of this shortcut. Although Zhao Zhen, the king of letters, has no way of knowing it, he has a glimmer of hope.

The letter king Zhao Zhen ordered, Hua Zhonglong naturally obeyed 100%.It's just that Hua Zhonglong was able to come to the frontline barracks from Wugong Mountain with great difficulty, but Xin Wang Zhao Zhen didn't assign himself the task of fighting, but asked himself to find someone, which inevitably disappointed Hua Zhonglong.So Hua Zhonglong responded with a dull voice, then sat back in his seat and sulked.

Zhao Zhen, the king of letters who had already "touched" Hua Zhonglong's temper thoroughly, saw it, smiled indifferently, and said to Hua Zhonglong: "Hua Zhonglong, don't play tricks on me. Let me tell you. If If you can complete this task one day earlier, you will naturally have the opportunity to go to war with me. If you can’t complete it. Heh heh, then you can just stay at the back and finish when you find it.”

After hearing this, Hua Zhonglong immediately became energetic, jumped up from the cushion, gave a military salute to the letter king Zhao Zhen, and shouted: "Don't worry, my lord, Hua Zhonglong will definitely find that old boy in the shortest possible time." Come out. Don’t forget, my lord, you must arrange a vanguard for me at that time.” This is also when Hua Zhonglong met a lord like Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, if it was the Great Sage King Yang Yao or the leader of the Longquan Army Peng You If Hua Zhonglong doesn't distinguish between superior and inferior, he must be taken down and beheaded.

Xinwang Zhao Zhen didn't mean to blame Hua Zhonglong, he laughed and said, "Don't worry. When will my words not count? What you have to worry about is whether you can find someone in time. If it is too late, we will throw all our battles away." It's all over." Hua Zhonglong is such a strong general, Xinwang Zhao Zhen can't bear to leave him behind to find someone, what he just said was just a joke, Hua Zhonglong is the most suitable, and he will be a pioneer. Xin Wang Zhao Zhen must send him to charge the battle.

Hua Zhonglong looked different from the dejected look just now, immediately he clasped his fists to the letter king Zhao Zhen and shouted: "Then Hua Zhonglong will not delay any longer. Now go find someone for the lord." After finishing speaking, Hua Zhonglong turned around and walked away. Running away, I really don't want to delay for a moment.

Seeing Hua Zhonglong like this, everyone also laughed. After laughing, the matter of the Shanyue barbarians couldn't be finished. Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's expression turned cold again, and he snorted: "No matter what the reason is, these Shanyue barbarians The barbarians dared to blatantly besiege the city. It’s a law. They must be taught a lesson. Otherwise, why should we gain a foothold on the Jingnan South Road in the future.” The underlying meaning of Xinwang Zhao Zhen’s words is to use the Shanyue barbarians Stand up.As the saying goes, killing a chicken for the monkeys is precisely to use strong means to deter Zhang Ling, the assassin who wants to play tricks.

Immediately, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen turned his head to look at Cui Hu and Pang Zheng, and shouted: "Cui Hu and Pang Zheng listen to the order."

Both Cui Hu and Pang Zheng turned serious, and even showed a hint of excitement. They knew that their mission under the tent of King Xin Zhao Zhen had arrived.The two came out at the same time, knelt down and knelt down to the letter king Zhao Zhen, and shouted in unison: "The last general is here."

A cold light flashed in the eyes of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, and he shouted: "You two are locals and are familiar with the surrounding areas of Chaling, so I will give you 5000 troops and teach me a lesson for those Shanyue barbarians. Let them know that our Shimen army is not Comparable to the officers and soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty." King Xin Zhao Zhen's order did not let the two of them exterminate the Shanyue barbarians, because he knew that even if they were given 5000 troops, let alone [-], they might not be able to wipe out those Shanyue barbarians. The barbarians were completely wiped out.Those Shanyue barbarians hid in the mountains, where they lived in a hidden place, and they could retreat at any time.In the mountains and forests, there are natural protective barriers and cover, and it is very difficult to uproot them.

As for the first order given to him by the King of Letters Zhao Zhen, Cui Hu and Pang Zheng did not hesitate at all, and directly took the order and shouted: "The last general takes orders." Taking out a military badge, the two of them bowed to Xin Wang Zhao Zhen again, turned around and left the hall.

Such an arrangement can be regarded as temporarily solving the problem of the Shanyue barbarians. Just as Xin Wang Zhao Zhen thought before, the problem of the Shanyue barbarians is by no means so simple and can be solved. Everything will have to wait until Hua Zhonglong takes the middle-aged Let's talk about it when someone finds it.Pressing the matter of the Shanyue barbarians for now, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen turned to Wang Zongshi and asked, "Wang Zongshi, how is our water village in Ganshui going?"

Regarding the progress of the water village on the banks of the Ganshui River, Xinwang Zhao Zhen attaches great importance to it.For a long time, I have been fighting against gold in the north, mostly cavalry and infantry, and there are very few navy troops.And in the future, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen will build a naval army that is the best in the world, so Xin Wang Zhao Zhen must lay the foundation now.

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen intends to wait until the water fortress is completed, then immediately recruit the water troops from the tributaries of the Ganshui River, and then recruit a large number of soldiers in the surrounding areas to expand the water army, and truly bring the Ganshui River under his control.

Hearing Xin Wang Zhao Zhen named his name, Wang Zongshi also sat upright, cupped his fists at Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, and shouted: "My lord, the progress of the water village is going well, and it should be completed in six or seven days. .”

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen nodded, very satisfied with the progress. After all, it has only been six or seven days since the construction of the water village started. It is already very good to be able to build a water village in half a month.Immediately, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen said to Wang Zongshi: "Pay attention to the quality of the water village. We must build the water village into a water castle that integrates offense and defense. You must not cut corners. Even if the construction period is delayed a little, it doesn't matter, understand?"

Xinwang Zhao Zhen is most worried about Wang Zongshi's failure to meet the quality of the water village in order to meet the construction schedule. That is really picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons.Wang Zongshi patted his chest and said, "My lord, don't worry, I, Wang Zongshi, are watching. This water village will definitely not be bad."

Regarding Wang Zongshi's handling of affairs, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen was still very relieved, he nodded, turned his head and said to Gao Xueyong who was sitting behind Ji Qianqian: "How is the situation in Changsha now?"

Since Ji Qianqian left, Gao Xueyong has officially taken over Ji Qianqian's position and became the leader of Changsha.But Gao Xueyong, the leader of Changsha, is not just managing Changsha. Including Changsha, many towns around Changsha, because of the lack of manpower under King Xin Zhao Zhen, all have to fall on the shoulders of Gao Xueyong alone.

However, Gao Xueyong is not an ordinary person. The local aristocratic family who was able to be squeezed out before was appointed as the leader of the Nanshan Village of Wugong Mountain. Naturally, there are some brushes.After taking over Changsha, Gao Xueyong and Ji Qianqian had already made good handovers on Changsha's affairs when Ji Qianqian was there. Now that they have officially taken over, Gao Xueyong's subordinates are There is no panic.

Hearing the letter king Zhao Zhen's question, Gao Xueyong immediately cupped his hands and replied: "Please rest assured, my lord. Now everything in Changsha can be carried out according to the normal situation, and nothing has happened yet. Several big families and officers and soldiers have placed nails in Changsha. It was also removed very cleanly, without leaving any future troubles."

What Gao Xueyong said was about the officers, soldiers, and some of the spies sent to Changsha by several major forces on the open and undercover.

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 his head to look at Qian Wenguang, and said with a smile: "How is the envoy of Governor Zhang Ling?"

Qian Wenguang also smiled slightly, and replied to the letter king Zhao Zhen: "Reporting to my lord, the envoy has come to the chief's mansion every day these days to ask for an audience, but my subordinates have sent him back to the post every time according to my lord's instructions. But the subordinates saw that the envoy couldn't wait any longer, and he was no longer as arrogant as when he first came."

"Hahahaha!" Hearing Qian Wenguang's words, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen couldn't help but burst out laughing.Just after General Shan Hongfei sent troops to rescue Hua Zhonglong, the envoy of Governor Zhang Ling came, and everything was just as Ji Qianqian said before, Governor Zhang Ling came to ask for surrender this time.

Of course, it is impossible to say that on the surface. The governor Zhang Ling used a very good excuse to recruit the letter king Zhao Zhen because of the "chaos" everywhere. He will go to the court and reward the letter king Zhao Zhen. Please believe in Wang Zhaozhen's martial arts mountain army to quell 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 were originally lackeys of the Inspector Zhang Ling's family, but now they are graciously abandoned by the Inspector Zhang Ling.

This time, although the governor Zhang Ling came to express his goodwill to the letter king Zhao Zhen, but the letter king Zhao Zhen deliberately let people hold him back and refused to meet him.Hua Zhonglong and Wu Meier's failure to be safe is certainly one of the reasons, but the most important thing is to give this arrogant messenger a good time.When Ri, the envoy, first arrived in Changsha, he was very ostentatious, completely ignoring Qian Wenguang who went to greet him.For this reason, Qian Wenguang, a well-known good man, was also very angry.

As the lord, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen naturally wanted to show such anger to his subordinates, beating and killing was inappropriate, so Xin Wang Zhao Zhen simply handed everything over to Qian Wenguang and left the emissary dry.Anyway, the ones who are anxious this time should be the governor Zhang Ling. Now the letter king Zhao Zhen and Chen Bing are outside the Linjiang army, and there is a tendency to send troops to the Linjiang army at any time.The letter king, Zhao Zhen, would not talk long-windedly with their governor, Zhang Ling, and immediately started fighting when he was upset.Sure enough, after such a delay, the emissary immediately withered, and Qian Wenguang has been addicted to the old man for the past few days.

However, it is not an option to procrastinate like this. Fighting with the governor Zhang Ling is just talking about it. The letter king Zhao Zhen can't afford it now. After all, the governor Zhang Ling has thousands of private soldiers in his hands, and he can also mobilize the surrounding Wan officers and soldiers, after all, once they go to war with the governor Zhang Ling, they will attract Zhao Gou's army.If it can be resolved peacefully secretly, it can be delayed for some time, so that Xinwang Zhao Zhen can make preparations.

Now that everything has been dealt with, it's time to deal with the matter of Governor Zhang Ling.Immediately, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen said to Qian Wenguang: "Since this is the case, then you can send someone to invite that messenger over later."

"Yes." Qian Wenguang didn't dare to delay, and after bowing, he turned around and went out to invite him in person.And Xin Wang Zhao Zhen also took advantage of this gap to discuss with everyone how to deal with it later.

About an hour later, under the leadership of Qian Wenguang, the envoy of the governor Zhang Ling hurried in.This emissary is a literati under the age of 30, and the children of the aristocratic family are extraordinary, and his gestures are full of atmosphere.But maybe it was because of his anxiety, and his actions seemed a bit hasty, but it didn't hurt his demeanor.After entering the hall, the envoy first scanned the people in the hall, and finally his eyes fell on Zhao Zhen, the King of Xin. He frowned slightly, and bowed his hands before going forward, and shouted: "Master Linjiang Army Inspector Zhang Cheng, I have met Master Zhao, the leader of Wugong Mountain."

"Bold, why don't you kneel when you see your lord?" As soon as Zhang Cheng's words fell, Wang Zongshi, who was sitting by the side, roared angrily, and his hand was already on the handle of the knife at his waist, as if he was ready to draw it at any time. knife.

Zhang Cheng glanced at Wang Zongshi, but smiled lightly. He was not intimidated by Wang Zongshi's arrogance, and said proudly: "I am the court envoy who came to pay a visit to the Wugongshan army, not a subordinate of the Wugongshan headquarters. kneel?"

Seeing that Zhang Cheng was not intimidated, Wang Zongshi didn't know how to continue, and looked around awkwardly while holding the knife handle.If it was an enemy, Wang Zongshi might have drawn his sword and chopped it down long ago, but this city still can't be chopped down.Gao Xueyong on the other side suddenly laughed, stared at Zhang Cheng and said: "You are just a small official, if you don't take my leader seriously, don't you want to die."

Gao Xueyong's last sentence was a bit too much, he didn't pay attention to the officials of the court at all, it was obvious that he was going to rebel.Xin Wang Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhang Cheng with a smile on his face, and wanted to see how this guy would deal with it?

Zhang Cheng did not show any panic because of Gao Xueyong's questioning, instead he laughed and said: "Although Wugong Mountain is the official of Chu State, but Chu State is just the Dongting Lake bandits claiming to be king. As for the leader of Wugong Mountain, he is just a bandit and grass bandit. For one side of the grass bandit, what's wrong with Mr. Zhang's disrespect?"

"Bold." As soon as Zhang Cheng said this, General Shan Hongfei, Wang Zongshi and Lin Yuhu stood up and roared angrily. All three of them glared angrily, half of the weapons at their waists had been pulled out.As for Hu Tianqing, who was sitting at the last seat, he looked at General Shan Hongfei and the others foolishly with waiting eyes, not understanding why they suddenly got angry.

"General Shan, please sit down." At this moment, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen waved his hand, smiled and signaled General Shan Hongfei and others to sit back, and then stared at Zhang Cheng.This Zhang Cheng is really bold.Sure enough, there are so many heroes in Linjiang Military City.It's a pity that this city is a child of the governor Zhang Ling's family. With the current relationship between Xinwang Zhao Zhen and governor Zhang Ling, I'm afraid it can't be used by Xinwang Zhao Zhen.

Immediately, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen smiled and said to Zhang Cheng: "Mr. Zhang has come from a long way, it's been hard work. You don't have to worry about those red tapes any more. Come here and prepare a seat for Mr. Zhang."

As soon as Zhao Zhen, the king of letters, spoke, General Shan Hongfei and the others naturally stopped talking.The soldier who had already prepared came in with a cushion, but threw the cushion directly in the hall.

Zhang Cheng glanced at the position of the cushion, and then at Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, then smiled, and sat down directly, and said to Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, "Thank you for the seat."

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen nodded secretly in his heart, this Zhang Cheng endured the humiliation without being surprised.Seeing that he only gave him a cushion, but his expression did not change, and he still wanted to sit and talk to him, it showed that this guy was trying to create an aura for himself.He doesn't kneel or talk, and would rather sit on a cushion on the ground than stand up and talk.

After Zhang Cheng sat down, Xinwang Zhao Zhen and Ji Qianqian looked at each other for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I'm so rude for not coming to receive Mr. in time because of military affairs. Mr. Wanwang forgive me." .”

Zhang Cheng smiled lightly and said: "My lord is busy with official duties, so how dare a villain speak nonsense. My lord, presumably Mr. Zhang has already informed you of the purpose of this villain's visit, and please set out to save the suffering of the people. The Song Dynasty sent troops to the surrounding areas of the Linjiang Army to clear out the bandits." This piece of the city was straightforward, and the ass was not even warmed up, so it brought up the business.
