Chapter 968 King Qi and the Changes in the Liaodong Situation

"Han Shizhong is a bit slippery when it comes to government affairs, but he is a loyal man when it comes to military affairs. If you send someone there, he will not mess around."

In order to dispel Yue Fei's concerns, Zhao Guanjia said again.

"I remember that you also had contacts with Han Shizhong."

"Yes, I and he were both promoted by His Majesty back then, and were fortunate enough to serve in the military."

"Just feel free to delegate."

"yes."

The reason why Zhao Guanjia explained this was because the Song Dynasty had a glorious tradition of cheating friendly troops.

At this moment, Wang Huaiji hurriedly came over and said: "Guan family, His Royal Highness King Qi has arrived and is waiting outside to hear the announcement."

"Let him in."

"yes."

Not long after, Zhao Chen walked along the corridor to the back garden.

After he came over, he lifted up his long skirt, knelt in front of Zhao Guan's house, and bowed down: "I see your majesty, and I wish your majesty peace."

Zhao Ning helped King Qi up, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I have grown taller, and I have also tanned."

Zhao Chen held a brocade box in his hand and said: "This is a thousand-year-old ginseng dug by my son in Korea. It is the best ginseng among all the ginsengs currently. I made a special trip to present it to my father."

"You are interested." Zhao Ning took it and asked, "Have you gone to see the empress?"

"I haven't gone to see the empress yet."

"She misses you every day and every night."

"The child also misses his father and mother very much. There are many wars in Liaodong. In fact, the soldiers miss their hometown very much."

"I have seen it in the memorials of you and Han Shizhong, and I can understand it. It is human nature."

"But what is more important at the moment is that the Jin Army is stationing more and more troops in Liaodong. We have recruited a lot of troops in Goryeo to create suspense, but the situation is..."

"I know all this, and the imperial court will arrange support. You have suffered in Liaodong these years."

Zhao Chen knelt on the ground again, put his forehead on the back of his hands, and said, "Father, this kneeling is my child's apology for my childishness and recklessness."

Zhao Ning showed a fatherly smile and said: "Get up, no parent needs an apology from their child. As a parent, I just hope that my child can grow up healthily and find what he wants."

Zhao Chen stood up.

Zhao Ning continued: "You can go and apologize to your teachers, Mr. Luo and Mr. Cai. Your recklessness back then failed them to live up to their expectations of you. Our family members should not say such unreasonable words. See

I'm also happy for you the way you are now."

Zhao Chen suddenly had tears in his eyes.

In fact, when he first went to Liaodong, he hated his father very much.

But as he experienced so many things in Liaodong over the years and had his own children, he suddenly understood his father.

"By the way, have you brought my grandson back?"

This sentence came from a thirty-seven-year-old man, and even Zhao Ning himself felt a little awkward.

But in ancient times, this was considered normal.

"In Liaodong, with his mother, she...she is a very kind person and helped me when the child was in the most difficult time. I hope my father can accept..."

"You can make your own decision whether to accept her as Princess Qi or not. I will not interfere with your affairs. Only you know best whether it is appropriate or not."

"She comes from a humble background, just a fisherman's family in Fuzhou..."

"The Empress Dowager Liu was also from a humble background, and all the ministers in the court of the Song Dynasty were from a humble background. Qian Xianggong in front of you was often hungry when he was a child, and Yue Xianggong farmed in Xiangzhou, but now one is in power, and the other is a deputy privy envoy.

Hebei made envoys."

"My child understands, thank you father for helping me."

"Let's get down to business. Let me introduce you to him. This is Mr. Qian, your mother's brother. This is Yue Fei and Yue Pengju. You should have heard of his name."

The two men immediately bowed: "I have met His Highness King Qi."

"I have met Mr. Qian and Mr. Yue."

"The battlefield in Liaodong is at a stalemate. The recovery of the people's livelihood in Goryeo is slow and cannot support the current situation. I plan to transfer a group of cavalry from Hebei to support Liaodong. This person will be arranged by Yue Xianggong, and you need to assist this Shenwu Army in this process.

Make sure there are no internal problems, it involves the whole game, and you should know the stakes."

Zhao Ning knew that Zhao Chen had a high prestige in Liaodong, so it was best for him to arrange this matter. Coupled with Han Shizhong, this could ensure that there would be no problems between the two armies.

King Qi said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will make proper arrangements."

"Then your Highness," Yue Fei said.

"Xiao Wang should be the one to thank Xianggong Yue for his support." Zhao Chen added, "However, the war situation is ever-changing. The current Liaodong is very different from the Liaodong three years ago, and even the Liaodong last year is very different."

"What changes?"

"I remember that the last memorial to Han Duhu was at the end of last year. Before I came back this year, the Liaodong Jin Army suddenly had a lot more armored cavalry. The number was at least double that of before. This made the two

At the beginning of the month, we had a battle outside Fuzhou City. We lost 7,000 people in the first battle, and even the cavalry lost 3,000, all of them were elites. If the Tiger Crouching Artillery hadn't come to the rescue in time, the entire army would have been wiped out.

, the Japanese and Korean military guards were also in that army."

Yue Fei asked: "Is it the Iron Buddha Tu?"

"It is the hard-line army of the Jin people. They are not connected with iron ropes. They cooperate with the cavalry horses. They come and go like the wind. Often our squatting tiger artillery cannot hit those cavalry quickly."

"It seems that Jin Wushu spent a lot of money in Liaodong." Qian Yuqing said.

Zhao Ning thought for a moment and said: "No, what you saw may only be part of it. It is also possible that Jin Wushu armed the Jin Kingdom with hard forces, expanded the elite troops, and completely turned the Jin Kingdom into a war machine."

According to the information he learned, the entire iron smelting industry in the Jin Kingdom not only served agriculture, but also served the military and government.

The Kingdom of Jin has many iron ores and developed iron smelting.

"With such a configuration, if Jin Wushu was supervising the construction of heavy artillery, I'm afraid..." Zhao Chen also said in a solemn tone.

"In this way, our understanding of the Jin Kingdom is now quite biased." Qian Yuqing said, "Just like the Jin Kingdom's understanding of the Song Dynasty was also biased before, arrogant soldiers will be defeated."

"I have a fierce general under my command who is very good at cavalry warfare. His name is Yang Zaixing!" Yue Fei said, "Send this man to Liaodong to cooperate with Han Duhu and the King of Qi in cavalry warfare. Moreover, Yang Zaixing also has three thousand men under his command.

The cavalry is equipped, I believe it will be of some help."

"Yang Zaixing!" Zhao Chen's eyes lit up, "That's great, thank you Mr. Yue for your help!"

"This matter is top secret." Zhao Guanjia added, "Only a very small number of people in Liaodong are allowed to know and must not be disclosed. Otherwise, the Jin people will definitely take other measures after knowing about it."

If the combat value of Han Shizhong's Divine Guards is eighty, then the combat value of the cavalry led by Yang Zaixing in the Shenwu Army is almost ninety or more.

During the Battle of Changping, the Qin State secretly replaced Bai Qi as the coach, without the Zhao State knowing anything about it. This was also an important reason for the Zhao State's defeat.

"The internal affairs of the Song Dynasty cannot be disclosed easily."

"Yes, I know."

The matter was settled. After the discussion, Zhao Chen went to see Zhu Lian, while Yue Fei went home to visit his family.
