That masked heroine Zhu Ziyao has left this place for a long, long time.
But at this time, Wu Zhi was still recalling the youthful beauty of Zhu Ziyao.
…
Early the next morning.
Eunuch Sheng, who was beside Zhao Ji, hurriedly came to Wu Zhi's house and wanted to ask Wu Zhi to go to court.
When Wu Zhi was changing his court uniform, he also asked Eunuch Sheng about the reason why Zhao Ji asked him to go to court this time.
And this time, the answer given by Eunuch Sheng was also quite concise.
I just want him to go to court together to discuss the dispatch of troops in the near future.
Wu Zhi had already been mentally prepared for this.
So at this time, he had nothing to be surprised about.
And when Wu Zhi was walking with that Eunuch Sheng, he inadvertently glanced at Eunuch Sheng a few times.
Seeing that Eunuch Sheng's face was rosy and he was in good spirits, he couldn't help but said in his mind that it seemed that the incident where I kidnapped him more than a month ago did not cause much psychological and physical burden on him.
The old man in front of Zhao Ji, Eunuch Sheng, was still as proud and full of energy as before.
This made him feel a lot more at ease.
After all, the reason why he held that Eunuch Sheng hostage that day was also an act of self-preservation under pressure.
If what he did back then really frightened the Sheng Gonggong in front of him...
Then he will definitely blame himself in his heart.
After all, the two of them had no enmity in the past and no enmity in the present.
When Wu Zhi followed Eunuch Sheng and walked quickly to the Jinluan Hall.
At this time, hundreds of civil and military officials were already standing in the court hall.
Everyone looked at Wu Zhi who had arrived late, and the expressions on their faces were extremely dull.
Only Tong Guan, after seeing that Wu Zhi was still calm and composed at this moment, the expression on his face became less natural.
This time in the court, Zhao Ji and the civil and military officials discussed two major matters:
One is to equip Wu Zhi, the pioneer officer, with military horses.
The second is to discuss again the issue of the candidate for the generalissimo.
Although this issue has been agreed upon before this.
But after such a long period of fermentation, some of the ministers raised objections.
Therefore, at this time, it is still necessary to determine again the issue of the candidate for the generalissimo.
After a whole morning of repeated discussions, the final result was:
The number of troops and horses under Wu Zhi, the vanguard officer of the expedition, was tentatively estimated at 5,000.
As for the composition of their army and horses, they were selected from among the Forbidden Army.
Wu Zhi was quite pleased with this.
Wu Zhi already knew the name of the Imperial Guard before he came to Tokyo.
Although the military armaments of the entire Song Dynasty were not very good, the imperial army that protected the capital was still quite good in terms of strength.
This time, if Wu Zhi can really select a military horse from the Forbidden Army, it would definitely be a great thing for him.
After all, no matter how powerful his plan is, the soldiers under his command will ultimately be the ones to execute the order.
If those soldiers don't work hard, no matter how hard he, the coach, plans the overall situation, in the end, it will be all in vain.
As for the fight for the position of generalissimo, after repeated discussions between the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, it was finally decided to hand over the position to Tong Guan.
This decision was made not only because Tong Guanna, the eunuch, was highly trusted by the royal family, but also because he had rich experience in leading armies. This visit would surely increase the victory rate of the Song Dynasty many times.
In this regard, the military attachés in the imperial court all secretly shook their heads after hearing this final decision.
Although Tong Guan had indeed led troops to fight many battles before this, his achievements were really unbearable to look at.
On the contrary, after Tong Guan was defeated and returned to Beijing, he could always use various excuses to shirk his responsibilities.
In this way, his image of being an excellent leader in fighting was highlighted.
As for the civil servants in the government, some of them were afraid of Tong Guan's own strength and did not dare to tell the truth.
Secondly, they were also deceived by his words, which led the civil servants to subjectively believe that Tong Guan was a general who was very good at fighting.
When the judgments of the ministers reached Zhao Ji's ears in a subtle way, he couldn't help but have a feeling in his heart that Tong Guan was extremely good at fighting, even compared to his Zhong Shidao brothers who had outstanding military exploits.
The two of them also had the illusion of giving in too much.
So this time, it seems reasonable that Tong Guan would be appointed as the commander-in-chief.
But when Wu Zhi suddenly heard the news, his heart felt very desolate.
Because he and that Tong Guan were old enemies.
It wasn't just because of the fight he had with Tong Guan's godson Tong Chenglin in the palace last time.
Even apart from that incident, the hatred between the two of them was extremely deep.
But this time, that Tong Guan accidentally became Wu Zhi's immediate boss.
As a result, Wu Zhi faced countless unknown obstacles.
If Wu Zhi unfortunately loses one or two battles in the next battle, then Tong Guan can completely exclude Wu Zhi or even punish him on the grounds that Wu Zhi improperly led the troops in the battle.
What if Wu Zhi wins the battle in the next battle?
That Tong Guan could have sent his trusted generals to compete for Wu Zhi's hard-earned military exploits.
In this way, Wu Zhi risked his life and fought desperately in the front. Instead of getting any credit, he might even be able to make wedding clothes for that old thief Tong Guan.
When Wu Zhi thought of this, it really gave him a headache. He couldn't help but secretly said in his heart, it seems that in the future war, the opponents I will face are not only from the Liao Kingdom, but also from the Liao Kingdom.
Be even more careful with that old yin Tong Guan.
In order to prevent me from being slapped by that old yin who randomly found an excuse before I could make a contribution to my career.
After the end of the dynasty.
Wu Zhi then applied to Zhao Ji to prepare and organize the troops under his command so that he could start various trainings in time to cope with various battle formations in the future.
But as soon as Wu Zhi made this request, Zhao Ji said to him calmly:
"Wu Aiqing, you don't have to worry about such a small matter."
"Because before this, Gao Aiqing has already allocated the troops your department needs in advance."
"At this time, the five thousand troops and horses are stationed on a hillside five miles away from the capital."
"If Wu Aiqing has any flaws, he can go to inspect the army first so as to make preparations for the future march."
When Wu Zhi suddenly heard the news from Zhao Ji, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
