Chapter 800: Registration at the Department of Science and Engineering
Xu Zizhen didn't look nervous. He just chuckled and said something incomprehensible: "Sure enough, he is also afraid of me."
Zhao Gou was not so relaxed, and shouted urgently: "Come here, go to Yingchang and Xuzhou quickly, and I will mobilize 30,000 horses each..."
Xu Zizhen stretched out his hand to stop him: "Qi Ye, wait a minute, don't bother me, I'm prepared."
Zhao Gou was impatient and blurted out: "Preparation? You never tell me, how do I know how prepared you are?"
Xu Zizhen was startled. Although Zhao Gou did not have a straight face, the dissatisfaction in his words was already obvious. This was the first time that Zhao Gou had spoken to him in such a tone, which made Xu Zizhen very uncomfortable.
Zhao Gou also realized his gaffe as soon as he spoke, and quickly forced a smile and added: "I also know that you are doing it for my own good, brother Xian, but you are too strict about keeping secrets. Do you think I still want to keep it secret?"
Will he secretly seek refuge with Golden Dog?"
This cold joke was not funny at all, but everyone around him laughed. Xu Zizhen also laughed, but a knot was left in his heart. The emperor is still the emperor after all, and the things he did were indeed not suitable for this era, that is
Zhao Gou has not yet ascended the throne, otherwise many things would be highly taboo.
Xu Zizhen pretended to bow and said with a smile: "Forgive me, Qi Ye. The key is that the Jin people's Tianluotang is pervasive. If they find any clues, all my hard work these days will be in vain. Otherwise, I will fight back the Jin people."
Miss Si, please give me a good beating to vent your anger."
Zhao Gou helped him up, pretending to be unhappy and said: "Brothers, you and I still say such words, you really deserve to be beaten! Okay, let's keep the gossip for now, what should we do now, my dear brother, you can give me the order."
"As soon as he finished speaking, he ducked to the side and handed over the on-site command to Xu Zizhen.
It would have been hard to tell in the past, but Zhao Gou had just lost his temper, how could Xu Zizhen dare to do it again? He quickly took a step back, waved his hand and said: "Master Qi, you can break me, everyone in Yingtian Mansion is talking about it."
After all, I’m just an idle guy, who am I?”
When Zhao Gou was about to give way, the Yingtian Mansion guard on the side couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, Mr. Xu Da has no actual position. If he leads the army, I hope he will be criticized. I hope your Highness will think twice."
Xu Zizhen took the opportunity to say: "Yes, yes, if someone sees you sending a cheat sheet to the official to file a complaint against us, we will be wronged. It's better for you to do it, and I will give you a solution later."
Zhao Gou finally stopped being humble, and an imperceptible look of satisfaction flashed across his eyes. Xu Zizhen saw it and felt relieved.
Sure enough, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Zhao Gou has become a spirit before he becomes a king. From now on, talking to and doing things with him will no longer be as insignificant as before. When the time comes, he will remember everything in his heart.
After a few years, when the throne is stable, I will be given an unwarranted gift...
The two groups of Jin troops outside the city were dealt with by Yongye Zhang Shuye, and Zhao Gou had no burden at all. He had great confidence in the two veterans, and Xu Zizhen also had the advantage of predicting the enemy. Not to mention the two groups totaled 10,000 people.
Even if it comes to another ten thousand, he won't worry, but if it comes to another hundred thousand, that's another story.
Zhao Gou was still a little uneasy and looked towards the north of the city. Sure enough, in less than a moment, he saw smoke and dust in the distance covering the sky and the sun, and the Jin army was coming.
He lowered his voice and said to Xu Zizhen: "Zizhen, how should we deal with it now?"
Xu Zizhen shrugged and said casually: "There's nothing to do. We'll talk about it when they get here."
The senior guard couldn't help it anymore and said: "Mr. Xu Da, if the Jin people use the force of the attack to storm the city, I am afraid that the soldiers in the city will not be able to defend it. I think..."
Xu Zizhen yawned and interrupted his words: "The soldiers of Yingtian Mansion should do whatever they are supposed to do. If they don't need to defend the city, I have my own way to get Jin Xiaosi to get out... Oh, by the way, Jin Xiaosi is
Wanyan Zongbi is that bastard Wu Shu."
The garrison's surname was Wu, who was also Zhao Gou's confidant. He couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. There were 70,000 garrison troops in the entire Yingtian Mansion. Wu garrison was ready to carry the Jin soldiers with all his troops, but now Xu Zizhen told him that he didn't need to
By using the army, does he plan to let the people go out of the city to fight against the Jin? Or does he have the magic of Da Luo to retreat from the enemy?
Xu Zizhen ignored him and turned around and waved to a corner. A young man in black immediately ran over, his face full of excitement and reverence. He came to a nearby place and gave Xu Zizhen a military salute: "Mr. Xu Da."
"You didn't give the Mao military salute as a soldier?" Xu Zizhen laughed and scolded, and then said, "Run an errand for me, then call all of you."
The young man in black seemed to be waiting for his words. He gave another military salute and loudly responded: "Yes!" After saying that, he turned around and ran down the city.
Zhao Gou no longer asked him who he was and what he was doing. Anyway, he would find out in a short while. However, not long after the young man came down from the city, a group of young people dressed in the same clothes as him came running up from the city.
He wears black clothes and black trousers with a cloth belt on the waist, and there are tools such as axes, chisels, and pliers stuck on the back waist.
These young people came to Xu Zizhen and Zhao Gou, saluted in unison, and said loudly: "Master Magistrate, Mr. Xu Da, all members of the Science and Engineering Department of Yingtian Academy have reported!"
Only then did Zhao Gou realize that these young people were originally students from the science and engineering department that Xu Zizhen opened after the reform of Yingtian Academy. He had seen it once last time when envoys from various countries came to visit the academy, but it seemed that it had opened at that time.
It was a cannon and nothing else was done, not to mention that Xu Zizhen later told him that the cannon was fake, so he was a little confused about these students running up to the city at this juncture.
Xu Zizhen was slightly stunned, then laughed and cursed: "Damn it, you guys left school without permission again? Aren't you afraid that I'll punish you heavily if you turn around?"
The young man in black said earlier: "When the Jin army came, the news had already spread throughout our academy. The martial arts academy also has the head coach, Professor Yu Shen, who is pressing down on us. Well... hehe."
The instructor of the Department of Science and Engineering was originally Du Jin, but now he was secretly transferred to Yangzhou. Xu Zizhen had no choice but to say: "Forget it, forget it, come here, save some time, go, according to the drill, half make the fire and half pick the fire"
Water goes."
"yes!"
The dozens of students responded in unison, turned around and ran away, leaving behind Zhao Gouyan, Zhao Gaopujun and others who were confused.
Making a fire? Carrying water? What on earth is Xu Zizhen going to play?
The smoke outside the city was getting closer and closer, and the Jin soldiers were moving very fast. From the city, they could vaguely see the handsome flag fluttering in the wind in the opponent's formation. In the blink of an eye, the army was approaching the edge of the city, and they were walking around.
A dark horse came out, and sitting on it was a golden man with a smile on his face.
Zhao Gou's pupils shrank slightly, because he knew this person. He was none other than His Royal Highness, the fourth prince of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Zongbi, who was Wu Shu, the current coach of the Right Army.
Wu Shu rode his horse to the front of the formation. He raised his head and looked at the guarded city of Yingtian Mansion. He smiled slightly and said, "You are very alert. Someone, call me the formation."
