"Perhaps you are all a little confused, where did this person come from, and how come he is riding on top of the generals as soon as he appears, with so much power?"
Liu Ling smiled and ordered someone to bring a chair for Zhao Da to sit down. Zhao Da did not refuse and was not polite. He sat down naturally, with a gentle smile on his face, but he could not shake off the coldness.
.Many people’s first impression of Zhao Da is that this person is a cobra. In fact, they are wrong. How can Zhao Da’s poison and ruthlessness be compared to that of a mere worm?
Among the people present, there are only three people who know Zhao Da. One is Hua Ling, one is Yang Ye, and the other is Zhao Er. Both of them used to have a good relationship with Zhao Da, and now they are very excited when they see Zhao Da.
.Especially Zhao Er. The prince secretly asked his brother to recuperate in the backyard. After he recovered, he was sent by the prince to perform some secret tasks. Since then, the two brothers have seen each other. Zhao Er couldn't help it again.
Asked the prince if his brother had died in a battle somewhere? Liu Ling remained silent. From then on, Zhao Er always thought that his brother was dead.
Now seeing his brother appear in front of him again, this sudden feeling of happiness made Zhao Er feel at a loss for a moment. If Zhao Da hadn't quietly waved his hand to him, he would have rushed over long ago.
Liu Ling saw many expressions with different meanings on the faces of his generals. Old people like Wang Banjin and Cheng Yihou could no longer remember that the personal unit was in good shape when Liu Ling was in Yuzhou ten years ago, but it was obvious that
, they are not really old and confused. Seeing the excitement on Zhao Er's face, the two cunning guys guessed something in an instant. Furthermore, these two people have transcendent status in the military, and they are still marquises, even if
Zhao Da is the commander of the Procuratorate of the second grade, and it is difficult for him to threaten the two of them. Therefore, the two of them did not appear as excited as the others.
As for Yang Ye, the moment he saw Zhao Da appear, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
He knew Zhao Da. Although he didn't come into contact with him many times, he was very uncomfortable with Zhao Da's strong and cold aura every time.
"Actually, it's very simple. The reason why I gave him a higher official position and a higher salary than all of you is for one reason, and that is... he has done more than you."
Liu Ling walked up to Zhao Da and said, "Show them. I also want to see what kind of vicious tricks Xie Jun from Yongzhou did to my men."
When they heard the words Yongzhou Xie Jun, everyone's face changed color.
Zhao Da nodded, slowly untied the thick cloak on his body, and then slowly unbuttoned the clothes underneath, slowly revealing the shocking scar on his chest!
This is a scar from the chest to the lower abdomen. Everyone who sees this injury changes color on their faces. In this era, the only fate for suffering such an injury is death. I really didn’t expect that he could survive such a huge injury.
Alive! The wound was forty centimeters long and densely covered with fine stitches.
"This is?"
Cheng Yihou's eyes suddenly widened when he saw the delicate front line.
"I happened to meet the miracle doctor Wu Kui, who sewed up my wound with an embroidery needle. It took me more than a month to recover before I could leave. If I hadn't been lucky since I followed the prince, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to come back this time."
Zhao Da said calmly while putting on his clothes.
"Amazing skills!"
Cheng Yihou admired sincerely.
Liu Ling was also surprised. He really didn't expect Zhao Da's injuries to be so serious. No wonder Zhao Da is so weak now, that is, he is determined. If it were others, he might have died long ago. It is already warm.
, even though he was wearing such thick clothes, his body was still cold, which shows how weak this serious injury had made him. At the beginning, Zhao Da was more powerful than Zhao Er.
He was also surprised by the miraculous skills of the miracle doctor Wu Kui. With such a serious injury, even in a modern society with highly developed medicine, one may not be able to save his life. There must be a lot of blood loss, internal organs must be damaged, and suturing the wound is very difficult in this era.
It is simply immature technology. How did Wu Kui do it? Is it true that he has attained enlightenment and become an immortal as in the legend? How could a mortal have such miraculous medical skills?
Liu Ling calmed down and said: "Injuries don't mean anything. Everyone here, including me, has a lot of injuries, big and small. The key lies in what Zhao Da did."
He clapped his hands, and the supervisor outside brought up the thick piece of detailed information about Yongzhou that Zhao Da had brought. Liu Ling took it and handed it to Wang Banjin and said: "Just take a look and you will know that Zhao Da has paid a lot of attention."
How much. I just wanted to move the Huazhou warehouse, and he had to pay the price of almost losing his life to find out the detailed enemy situation in Yongzhou. Since the second year of Jiafeng, Zhao Da has been doing this in secret
There have been hundreds of battles, big and small. On the surface, it seems that I am great at always predicting the enemy's opportunities. In fact, in the final analysis, Zhao Da's victory is still unwinnable. Zhao Da's hard work in this process may be unimaginable to you.
"
Then, Liu Ling told what Zhao Da did behind the scenes during these several battles after going south. When he heard the last part, the generals who were doing it were actually convinced. Liu Ling always treated people with clear rewards and punishments.
Birds of a feather flock together, those who are close to the red are red and those who are close to the ink are black. Originally, there were no villains under Liu Ling who had dark thoughts, jealousy of the virtuous, and the capable. Now that they understand Zhao Da's contribution, the dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts has long been diluted.
Moreover, everyone knew that Liu Ling was about to re-appoint Zhao Da and gave Zhao Da a new position like the Commander of the Supervisory Yuan. From the name, one could analyze what Zhao Da's powers were. There was no need to offend Zhao Da because of this.
, who knows if there will be a time to look up to others in the future.
"Since you have no objections, let Zhao tell you the situation in Yongzhou in detail. King Cangben of Huazhou is bound to win, so the Yongxing Army must fight. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible in a hundred battles. God gave Zhao
Greater than me, even if the Yongxing Army has 200,000 soldiers, what will happen?"
Zhao Dadao: "The Yongxing Army in Yongzhou is divided into twenty battalions. The military commander Xie Junnai is a general with real talent and knowledge. Not only is this man proficient in military tactics and battle formations, but he is also unmatched in force. The sword on my body is his.
What he left behind. I lurked in his camp for five days, and when I had almost figured out the deployment of my troops, I was discovered by his tiger guards. Xie Jun’s tiger guards are amazing!"
He sincerely admired: "Although there are only one hundred and twenty people, it is enough to protect Xie Jun when the hundred thousand troops withdraw. Although I was prepared before, I still couldn't escape the thirty Tiger Guards and Xie Jun's roundup. Fortunately,
My men were able to fight a lot, and many people died, so I finally brought back all I could."
He glanced at Liu Ling apologetically and said: "Your Majesty, although the traces I left were to lure Xie Jun to guess Duan Shanluan, the commander of Zuo Mingwei, with Xie Jun's shrewdness, I'm afraid I can't hide it from him. .But it’s hard for Xie Jun to miss us, after all, we are too far apart.”
Liu Ling nodded and said: "What you have done is good enough. Next time you can't do this kind of thing yourself. If something happens to you, ten Xie Jun will not be able to do it!"
Zhao Da nodded and said: "I know this. If the prince doesn't tell me, I will cherish this life and do more things for the prince."
"The Yongxing Army has 30,000 troops stationed in Huazhou. Huazhou's granary stores millions of stones. Xie Jun attaches great importance to this granary. There are also 50,000 troops stationed in Yu-Feng Mountain between Jinzhou and Shangzhou. On the front line, the Zuo Mingwei troops in Jinzhou are intimidated. Twenty thousand troops are stationed in Qianzhou, 20,000 troops are stationed in Yaozhou, and the remaining 80,000 troops are in Yongzhou."
"The Yongzhou army is mainly composed of spearmen and has a cavalry of more than 30,000 people. The land of Yongzhou has always been rich in cavalry, and they are all skilled in bows and horses. They should not be underestimated."
"Furthermore, Xie Jun had a counselor, Guo Kai, who was very clever and strategic. He was the person Xie Jun relied on the most. But you don't have to worry about this man. He is dead. If it weren't for some mistakes when killing him, Xie Jun's Although my nose works well, it’s hard to find me.”
He paused and said, "I didn't expect that a scholar's swordsmanship would be so exquisite!"
Liu Ling said in surprise: "So Guo Kai is good at it?"
Zhao Da Dao: "No less than me. I attacked him secretly, but he was seriously injured and stabbed my arm with a counterattack. In a head-to-head confrontation, he and I are on par."
"Although Guo Kai is dead, Xie Jun himself is well-versed in the art of war, has strong opinions, and is decisive and ruthless. He is the best among the generals of the Zhou Dynasty that I have observed. The one who can be compared with him in the Zhou Dynasty is Hu Ben Dadu Protector Luo. Xu Yiren."
"In general, this battle is not easy to fight."
After saying so many words in one breath, Zhao Da looked a little weak, his body was trembling slightly, and he looked very cold. Liu Ling ordered someone to bring a brocade quilt to cover him, and Zhao Da looked at Liu Ling gratefully. .
"After three months of rest in Jiangzhou, it's time to take action. As long as we capture the Yongxing Army, almost half of the country in the Zhou Dynasty will fall into my hands. It's difficult to fight, but we must fight!"
Liu Ling said.
"Zuo Zhenwei was originally stationed in Puzhou and knew the terrain well. Now that Xu Shengzhi controls Puzhou, if he wants to defeat the Yongxing Army, he must first meet with Xu Shengzhi. Zheng Chao has had a lot of dealings with him, so this person's opinion should still be listened to. Come on, hurry up to Cizhou and pass on my general order to Zheng Chao to come to Jiangzhou to see me. Although I promised him that Zuo Zhenwei's troops would not have to participate in the war, Zheng Chao himself did not agree to let him rest in retirement. .”
Everyone laughed.
"Order! Each battalion's soldiers and horses prepare food, grass and equipment, and the troops will be dispatched in ten days."
"Order! Du Yi leads 20,000 Jinzhou soldiers to join Jiangzhou!"
After issuing two general orders in succession, Liu Ling clapped his hands and said, "You all will go and prepare. This battle will all depend on the generals."
"The great man is mighty!"
"The regent is mighty!"
After everyone dispersed, Zhao Er and Hua Ling met Zhao Da first. Zhao Er cried like a child, which touched everyone's heart. Zhao Da also had mixed feelings when he saw his brother. Several people said After a while, Zhao Er and his two men left the tent and went to the army to prepare.
"Isn't your carriage a bit showy?"
After Liu Ling and Zhao Er were the only two people left in the big tent, Liu Ling looked at Zhao Da who was huddled in the brocade quilt and seemed to be still a little cold and asked.
Zhao Da tightened the quilt and said helplessly: "In order for the prince to intimidate the soldiers' morale, my subordinates have no choice but to show off. They dare not not show off."
Liu Ling sighed and said, "Let's let that matter go for now. It's not appropriate to kill a general before the battle begins."
"My subordinates think that it would be even more inappropriate if they don't understand the legal code."
Liu Ling was stunned, and then said: "After all, Feng Fubo is an old man who has been with me for many years. I can't bear to kill him like this."
Zhao Da Dao: "Because he is an old subordinate of the prince, he steals and sells military rations and colludes with bandits, so he deserves to be killed! As the chief general of Jinzhou, Du Yi should be punished for not being able to clearly see the faults of his generals!"
Liu Ling nodded: "Okay, since the Supervisory Yuan has handed it over to you, this is your authority and I will not stop it." (To be continued)
