Afterwards, Zhao Hongrun wrote three letters in his own hand.
The first letter was naturally a letter home to his mother, Concubine Shen Shu. The general idea was to tell his concubine that he had arrived in Shangshui and was currently mediating the relationship between the two counties of Yanling and Anling. He asked Concubine Shen Shu not to worry.
In short, he tried his best to say good things. As for the assassination on the road, Zhao Hongrun did not dare to write about it at all. He also asked Shen Yu not to let it slip after returning to Daliang.
The second letter was written by Zhao Hongrun to his fifth uncle, King Yu Wang Zhao Yuandai, asking him to help teach Shen Yu various experiences in commanding troops.
I have to say that this is the first time that Zhao Hongrun has written to someone in a flattering tone.
There was no way, after all, he and his fifth uncle had met several times during major festivals in the past ten years, but their contact was not deep. Zhao Hongrun was also a little worried that his uncle would not give him face as his nephew.
As for the third letter, it was sent to his father, Emperor Wei, so that when Zhao Hongrun and his fifth uncle, King Yu, Zhao Yuandei, did not give him face as his nephew, Emperor Wei could help intercede. After all, the relationship between Zhao Hongrun and his fifth uncle, Zhao Yuandei, was Their relationship is definitely not as good as the relationship between Emperor Wei and Zhao Yuanji.
After writing these three letters, Zhao Hongrun called Cen Chang, the chief of the Su Wang Guard, and asked him to send twenty Su Wang Guards to accompany Shen Yu back to Daliang.
Although Shen Yu kept saying that he could do it alone, Zhao Hongrun still insisted on letting the twenty Su Wang guards accompany him, considering that the skin trauma on his chest had not yet healed and that he could not lift objects with his right hand for the time being.
On March 13, Zhao Hongrun and the guards of the clan served Shen Yu with wine to see him off. After they had had enough wine and food, they sent Shen Yu all the way to Shangshui Port and watched as Shen Yu boarded the palace at the Imperial Household Department. The return fleet from Daliang, the royal capital.
"Shen Yu, you guy, you have to study hard!"
"If you fail to learn, let's see how we deal with you in the future!"
"Don't be lazy!"
Before sailing, all the sect guards spoke to Shen Yu one after another. Although their tone sounded quite bad, their innocent heart made Shen Yu smile. He was very impressed that as an orphan, he could actually obtain Such a group of heterosexual brothers.
"Don't just talk about me... Wei Jiao, after I leave, you will be the chief of Zong Wei. Stop your irritable temper."
"...Lu Mu, you are a more stable person, please look after Wei Jiao for me."
"I understand." Lu Mu nodded.
"Chu Heng, protect His Highness!"
"Don't worry!" Chu Heng assured him, patting his chest.
"Zhou Pu, among all the brothers, you are the one who reassures me the most. Watch out for me."
"Haha." Zhou Pu smiled and nodded.
"Mu Qing, you...forget it. Gao Kuo, Zhongzhao, Zhu Gui, He Miao, Your Highness will leave it to you..."
"Asshole! What are you talking about!" Mu Qing pretended to be angry and shouted, causing all the sect guards to burst into laughter.
Finally, Shen Yu turned his attention to Zhao Hongrun, clasped his fists, and said seriously: "Your Highness, that humble position... I will leave your Highness for the time being."
"Well." Zhao Hongrun nodded and said with a smile: "As a general under my command, I wish you all the best!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Shen Yu hugged Zhao Hongrun and the sect guards heavily.
The fleet set off slowly, and Zhao Hongrun and his party watched as Shen Yu gradually disappeared from the sight as the fleet gradually disappeared.
It is undeniable that there was a time when Zhao Hongrun was always followed by ten clan guards, but now there are only nine left. Even though it is only temporary, it also makes Zhao Hongrun and the other nine clan guards feel a little uncomfortable.
But having said that, Shen Yu's injury this time may not be entirely a bad thing.
After all, staying by Zhao Hongrun's side, this clan guard is just a guard at best. Even if Zhao Hongrun's power increases in the future, these clan guards may have the opportunity to become generals with heavy troops, but they may not necessarily have the necessary skills to become generals. ability.
If everything goes well and Shen Yu has the opportunity to learn the art of commanding from the side of King Yu Zhao Yuan'ai, then his future achievements will definitely be higher than those of serving as the Zong Wei Chief beside Zhao Hongrun.
Maybe I should let the Zongwei go out to practice instead of taking them with me?
A trace of hesitation flashed in Zhao Hongrun's eyes.
You must know that he and the Zongwei are as close as brothers. He has great trust in the Zongwei, and the Zongwei are also loyal to him.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun is naturally not satisfied with these clan guards being limited to the role of guards. If he has a choice, he naturally hopes that these clan guards can be like Baili Ba, Sima An, Xu Yin, Zhu Hai and others in the future. Become a general who is good at fighting with heavy troops.
Although Zhao Hongrun will not relax in cultivating potential generals like Wu Ji, and will continue to look for talented generals, but when it comes to being most at ease, it is the clan guards around him.
If you carry these clan guards with you all the time, in fact, you will limit the potential of these clan guards.
However, Zhao Hongrun also understood that if he proposed it like this at this moment, I believe these sect guards would reject his kindness out of concern for his safety.
This kind of thing can only be done slowly.
For example, in the future, when these clan guards completely trust the Blue Crows, they may temporarily leave to hone their skills in order to serve him better.
I have to say that Shen Yu's incident made Zhao Hongrun start thinking about the future of the clan guards.
After all, if possible, he naturally hopes that the clan guards can all take charge of their own affairs in the future, whether it is to share his worries or to support these clan guards.
On March 14, the five-day holiday of the Shangshui Army came to an end, and all the Shangshui Army soldiers returned to the military camp from their second hometown in Shangshui County to start a new round of training schedule.
After all, the Merchant Navy Army is positioned as a garrison, not the original agricultural army. In addition to going out to fight, it undergoes endless training throughout the year. Although it is boring, it is indeed the only way to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.
That day, Zhao Hongrun called Wu Ji in front of him.
After all, the Shang Shui Army will have no mission for the time being. Even if a war between Qi and Chu breaks out, and even if Zhao Hongrun is designated as the commander-in-chief of the Wei army by King Lu Xi of Qi, he may not lead the Shang Shui Army to attack Chu.
After all, the Shangshui Army is all Chu people. Even if they call themselves Shangshui people now, they will still have some feelings for their homeland of Chu. They will lead them to conquer Chu and push Chu to a desperate situation. This kind of Things are too cruel.
Therefore, unless there is another war between the Wei State and the Chu State, such as with Korea in the north, the Shang Navy Army will have nothing else to do for the time being except boring training day after day.
The reason why Zhao Hongrun called Wu Ji in front of him was simply to encourage him to train his soldiers more rigorously, so that the strength of the Shangshui Army could steadily improve to that of the Sixth Battalion of the Junshui Army, Dangshan Army, Chenggao Army, etc. The troops are aligned.
But in the end, Zhao Hongrun pushed out the four clan guards Zhongzhao, Zhu Gui, and He Miao, and told Wu Ji: "Wu Ji, from today on, the four of them will serve under you... Just serve, eh , Thousands of generals. If you have anything to do, you can arrange for them to do it."
"Your Highness, you..." Zhongzhao looked at Zhao Hongrun in surprise.
The rest, Zhu Gui and He Miao, also started to speak but stopped.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and said: "Shen Yu's incident made me think of an issue that I had ignored in the past, which is the cultivation of you Zongwei... If you just stay with me, in another ten years, , you are still Zongwei, unable to improve your skills. Instead of doing this, I might as well put you in the Shang Shui Army to hone your skills." After that, he smiled at Wu Ji and said: "Wu Ji, don't misunderstand me. The king wants to take away your military power."
Wu Ji smiled when he heard this and said: "Everything the general has now is given by His Highness. Even if His Highness takes it back, the general will have no complaints, but..." He glanced at Zhongzhao and the others, and said hesitantly: "Jun The training is so hard that the four masters of Zongwei may not be able to bear it."
ha?
Zhongzhao, Zhu Gui, and He Miao were a little unhappy after hearing this.
They said in their hearts: When I was being trained in the clan, you were nowhere to be found! Training in the army was hard? Will you be even more strict and harsh with the clan leader Habayashi?
Taking a look at the unconvinced expressions of the three Zhongzhao people, Zhao Hongrun knew that Wu Ji's words made the three Zongwei feel uncomfortable.
Maybe in Wu Ji's view, Zongwei is just a group of pampered prince guards, but the fact is not the case. Zongwei Yu Linlang can be said to be the most rigorous and demanding in the training in the Wei Kingdom, even the training amount of the sixth battalion of the garrison. , are not even comparable to Souei Yubayashi.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled and said, "Wu Ji, don't underestimate Zong Wei."
After that, he turned to Zhongzhao and the others and said: "Zhongzhao, go back and give General Wu (Ji) a training list for your Zongwei, and give it to me to train the Shang Shui Army like the Zongwei!"
After hearing this, Zhong Zhao glanced at Wu Ji, who was a little confused, and smiled maliciously.
On the other hand, Zhu Gui and He Miao frowned, and the latter hesitated and said: "Your Highness, is it too cruel? If you ask the Shang Shui Army like we asked our Zongwei Yulinlang, I am afraid that the soldiers and generals of the Shang Shui Army will , there will be complaints."
"It doesn't matter, as long as the three of you lead by example."
After that, Zhao Hongrun looked at Wu Ji, Zhongzhao, Zhu Gui, and He Miao, and said seriously: "The Shangshui Army is my direct army, and my request for you is very simple. Become stronger! The stronger, the better. !...I want a strong army that can defeat any army in the world!"
Enough to defeat any army in the world?
Wu Ji looked surprised, as if he didn't expect Zhao Hongrun to have such an ambition.
After meeting Wu Ji, Zhao Hongrun summoned Ying Kang from the Green Crows and asked Gao Kuo to stay with Ying Kang for a while.
After all, Gao Kuo was very good at gathering information and analyzing information. Therefore, Zhao Hongrun planned to let Gao Kuo be in charge of the affairs of the Green Crows and Black Crows in the future.
As for Wei Jiao, Lu Mu, Mu Qing, Zhou Pu, and Chu Heng, Wei Jiao, as the current Zong Wei Chief, must stay by Zhao Hongrun's side at all times in order to fulfill Shen Yu's previous duties. However, although Chu Heng has He has the strongest force among all the sect guards, but this guy is a bit stupid. To put it bluntly, this guy is really stubborn. No matter where he puts it, Zhao Hongrun will not rest assured.
What's more, Chu Heng accepted Shen Yu's instructions before leaving and most likely would not leave.
As for Lu Mu and Zhou Pu, they were the ones who most reassured Zhao Hongrun and Shen Yu, the former chief of the sect's guards, among the sect's guards. They were steady and astute.
Especially Zhou Pu, despite his unattractive appearance, in fact he is a talented person with both civil and military skills, who is capable of performing any position he is placed in.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun is not worried about the future of Lu Mu and Zhou Pu.
As for Mu Qing, as the youngest among the Zongwei and the most frivolous in character, the Zongwei who is most compatible with Zhao Hongrun, unless Mu Qing proposes it himself, Zhao Hongrun does not want to sharpen his character yet.
After arranging all this, Zhao Hongrun finally set off for Yanling to fulfill the responsibilities of his trip south. (To be continued.)
