This time, when the Liao army invaded the south, Zhao Heng was the supervisor of the East Road, and Privy Councilor Li Long was the commander-in-chief, and generals such as Guo Boyan, Zhao Jing, and Jing Yi accompanied him. The army arrived in Zhenzhou in mid-August. Generals such as Li Long and Guo Boyan discussed the matter. Zhao Heng, the supervisor of the army, was mainly responsible for listening, but if the commander-in-chief, the supervisor had different opinions, he should respect the supervisor.

Before the Liao army arrived, this time it mainly discussed how to deploy defense. Li Long ordered Guo Boyan to lead 20,000 troops to station Guannan on the west side of Zhenzhou, and to hand Dingzhou to the east to Cui Han, the governor of Dingzhou. He led a 100,000 army to defend Zhenzhou. Several places in the northern border were almost lost. Zhenzhou, Guannan, and Dingzhou became an important center for troops stationed in Zhouzhou, and there was no need to be lost.

"Hmph, the Khitan threatened to take over our Zhenzhou, but only sent 100,000 cavalry to attack. It is too underestimated by our Great Zhou soldiers. I dare to assert that the Khitan just wanted to take revenge on our previous attack on Youzhou, send troops to Zhenzhou to try their luck. If you win, you will go to another place if you lose. So in this battle, we must fight beautifully and severely defeat the spirit of the Liao people!" The head coach Li Long stood in front of the sand table, his eagle-like eyes swept across the generals beside him one by one.

Li Long was only 40 years old and was considered young and prestigious among military generals. He was brave and courageous. His Zhenrong Army was famous and slightly inferior to the Li family army who guarded the West Road for many years. Previously, the Eastern Army led by Cao Yu retreated step by step, and the army was almost wiped out. Only Li Long's Zhenrong Army retreated unscathed. He was highly commended by Emperor Xuande and promoted to Privy Councillor.

Guo Boyan and Li Long got up at the same time. His sister became the concubine and Li Long's sister became the queen. The two had similar resumes and had a battlefield friendship of mutual appreciation, but they also had secret competition when rewarding merits. Li Long was arrogant and Guo Boyan was calm. Before this year, Guo Boyan was overwhelmed by Li Long everywhere. Now Li Long was the head coach, and he showed a little arrogance. Guo Boyan was naturally cautious in his words and actions and took the order with pleasure.

"What do you think?" He ordered. Thinking of the prince sitting behind him, Li Long turned around and asked neither humbly nor arrogantly. If the former King of Chu came to supervise the battle, Li Long might have respected the King of Chu three points, but today the one who came to supervise his army was the gentle and gentle King Shou, who Li Long looked down on it from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Heng looked at him, left his seat, walked to the sand table, his eyes lowered, and then pointed to the Guannan area and said to Guo Bo: "There are many waters in the south of Guannan, and the rivers are crisscrossing. You can dig water fields widely, cultivate in harmony, and trap cavalry during wartime." The cavalry of the Liao Kingdom is invincible by war horses, and is most suitable for running flat ground. Once the war horses are blocked, the Liao soldiers will be unable to move forward.

Guo Boyan nodded: "What the prince said is very true. I can start after I go there."

The city walls in Zhenzhou are strong, so Zhao Heng doesn’t need to repeat the details of how to defend. Today, Zhao Heng will go to the royal tent to rest.

King Shou left, Guo Boyan and others also dispersed. The head coach Li Long couldn't help but say to his confidant deputy general Jing Yi: "Digging fields is all about scholars, and they can only show off their words. When they really come to the battlefield, they are not scared to death."

Jing Yi didn't think that King Shou, who was like a white-faced scholar, was suitable for being a military supervisor. He smiled in agreement, but he still whispered: "General, be careful of his words, it's not good to be heard." He didn't dare to say King Shou's gossip.

Li Long hummed.

The next morning, Li Long got up early as usual, washed his hands and changed into armor, and wanted to inspect the barracks. As soon as he left the tent, he suddenly heard a neat cheer from the training ground. Li Long raised his eyebrows and saw Jing Yi coming from the side, he asked curiously: "What's going on?"

Jing Yi looked confused, and didn't know that the two looked at each other and walked side by side towards the training ground. As they got closer, they saw a figure standing like a pine and cypress on the high martial arts stage. The morning light was dim, and the man was covered in black armor, making his face look as white as jade, as if he was descending to earth like a god.

People can still look so white in the military camp. Apart from King Shou, Li Long can't think of anyone else.

On the martial arts stage, Zhao Heng stood in black armor. Behind him, eight guards stood in a row, holding a box of white silver ingots in their hands. The ingots were not big, only one or two taels each, but they couldn't hold on. They were piled up like a hill, and they were even more moved than a beauty taking off her clothes.

Eunuch Fu bent over slightly and saw Li Long walking in the distance. Eunuch Fu couldn't help but straighten his back and said to the officers and men in a louder voice: "You may not know that our prince is also a martial arts practitioner, and he will definitely practice Kung Fu every morning."

As soon as this said, Li Long raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically, and a low laugh came from the infantry line, and he didn't believe it.

When Zhao Heng heard this, he was still calm and Eunuch Fu was not annoyed. He continued: "Last night, the prince said that he had long heard that all the soldiers of the Eastern Army were brave and good at fighting, and had extraordinary martial arts skills. The princes on both sides also had to practice martial arts. So he decided to ask three soldiers to accompany the prince every day from today. Anyone who dares to compete with the prince will receive one or two taels of silver..."

If you want to fight with the prince, you will get the money?

Hearing this, the soldiers were upset, excited in their introverted hearts, and boldly yelled on the spot, rushing to go to the stage. The crowd was excited, and Eunuch Fu turned his head to look at his prince. Zhao Heng stood with his hands behind his back. After waiting for a while, he raised his right hand, as if a silent order. The army under the stage returned to calm instantly, and they all looked forward to it.

Gong Fu understood the gods and continued to sing: "Anyone who can hold on to more than ten moves in the hands of the prince will be rewarded with 5 taels of silver, more than twenty moves, ten taels of silver. If you can win the prince, you will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver!"

"The prince is mighty! The prince is mighty!"

I don't know who led the lead, and the soldiers shouted in unison, their voices were like thunder and deafening.

After the waves subsided, Eunuch Fu finally announced the conditions: "The competition will continue until the army returns in triumph, but each person only has one chance to accompany the prince to practice martial arts. So after watching today's competition, everyone will do what they can and feel that they can't hold on to the prince's hands no matter what, and they can go on stage at any time. If you feel that you can persist in ten moves after practicing, then practice martial arts diligently and go on stage after a while!"

"good!"

Eunuch Fu looked at the prince again, and then said to the audience: "In order to give everyone a general understanding of the prince's skills, today I will invite a team leader, Duzhu, and the battalion commander to come to the stage... Then, choose from the battalion commander who rushed to the stage!"

In the Great Zhou army system, fifty men are a team, ten teams are a capital, and ten capitals are a battalion. The battalion commander commander controls five thousand soldiers and horses.

A hundred thousand army, a total of twenty battalion commanders. As soon as Eunuch Fu finished speaking, the battalion commanders rushed to the central military exercise platform under the loud instigation of his soldiers. Of course, the distance was far and near, and finally let the battalion commander named Shi Bao lead the way directly opposite the military exercise platform.

"I will pay homage to the prince!" On the stage, Shi Bao excitedly saluted King Shou.

Zhao Heng nodded and said concisely: "In your camp, choose a team leader, and all the leaders."

A few words of low and calm sounded over his head, which seemed to be the same as ordinary people, and he had the majesty and momentum that Longzi was born with. Shi Bao lowered his head, his eyes turned, and he was a little unbelievable. But this was just a thought. It was important to get money in the competition. Shi Bao responded loudly, his eyes moved forward, and he shouted directly from the two of them.

From weak to stronger, Zhao Hengxian fought with the head of the team commanding fifty people.

These are all the most elite imperial guards in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Anyone of them was a big and thick man. Zhao Heng was not inferior to them, but in comparison, he was no longer the rough and tough who had been practicing martial arts all year round, and he was like a weak scholar. The leader of the team on stage was the first to take action. Seeing that the prince was so thin, he couldn't help but feel a little "pleasant" and tried to take action, for fear that he would break Prince Shou with one punch.

But just when his fist was only half an arm away from the prince, he saw the prince smile, his face as if he was like a jade, his eyes as...

Before I could find the word to describe it, suddenly a dizzy turn fell into the eyes of everyone below the stage. The tall and big head of the team was actually grabbed by the seemingly thin Prince Shou and swung it high. He crossed his shoulders and fell directly to the sky!

This incident was so fast and shocking that the team leader who was thrown was stunned. The soldiers in the audience opened their mouths blankly until the team leader rolled half a circle and got up to salute the prince. Everyone suddenly came back to their senses and received unprecedented cheers!

"Waring with others, you must not underestimate the enemy." Zhao Heng patted the team's head and shoulders and taught calmly.

The team leader lost too quickly, and it was embarrassing, and the other was a little worried that the prince misunderstood that he was incompetent and was not worthy of being the team leader. He was nervous, and the arrogant prince actually mentioned him!

"Don't worry, my grandfather, I will remember it!" The team leader was flushed with excitement.

Zhao Heng nodded and asked him to go and receive the silver reward.

Next was Dutou. After witnessing King Shou's skills with his own eyes, Dutou dared not be careless. When the generals compared to the martial arts, they also forgot the superiority and inferiority, and used all their strength to attack King Shou several times. He could command a hundred people, Dutou naturally had some skills, but he could not hold on to five moves under King Shou. If Zhao Hengsheng was hiding the situation last time, this time, he showed his real skills.

At this point, the 100,000 troops, all below the head, were convinced by King Shou. Even the head coach Li Long, who was watching the game silently, looked at King Shou gradually changed.

The third competition was Shi Bao, the battalion commander who was in charge of the 5,000 imperial guards.

Before taking action, Zhao Heng looked at Shi Bao and said suspiciously: "Your surname is Shi, Prince Weiwu..."

Emperor Gaozu became emperor by initiating a disease and became brothers of different surnames with nine generals who supported him. One of them was named Shi Shuxin. He was a veteran of two dynasties. He made great achievements during his lifetime. After his death, Emperor Xuande posthumously named him the Prince of Majesty.

"It's my father." Shi Bao said proudly, although his father had been charged before his death.

After hearing this, Zhao Heng finally showed a bit of solemnity on his handsome face and bowed to Shi Bao, "The tiger father has no dog son, and it is my blessing to be on the same stage as the general."

When a martial arts practitioner is having a conversation, the more serious the other party is, the more he will be. The prince actually treated him so politely. Shi Bao's eyes were inexplicably hot, and he was afraid that the prince would be laughed at, so he hurriedly bowed and covered up and said, "You are polite, come on!"

The two stood far apart, and the audience was silent. Zhao Heng recognized Shi Bao at this time. Most of the soldiers in the audience had known Shi Bao for a long time and knew Shi Bao's ability. If it were not for his father's burden, the official position would have been promoted long ago. The soldiers were worried when they fought against each other. The coach Li Long stared at King Shou, feeling that the handsome prince who looked like a god on the stage was truly hidden.

Shi Baoqiang practiced his body with external kung fu and was as hard as a wall of iron and powerful as a wall. Zhao Heng was majoring in internal martial arts and was quick to move. The two of them fought together, and Shi Baohu's fist was full of wind, but he couldn't touch Zhao Heng. Zhao Heng hit Shi Bao a few times, but Shi Bao didn't move, and his fist hurt slightly.

This was the first time Zhao Heng fought with a military general who was evenly matched. Eunuch Fu was frightened, while Zhao Heng became more and more happy the more he fought.

"General?"

Behind the audience, Jing Yi whispered to Li Long.

Li Long watched the battle closely. Seeing Zhao Heng calmly, Shi Bao was blushing and his footwork was gradually chaotic and could only defend himself. It was obvious that the outcome was decided.

Sure enough, after more than a dozen moves, Shi Bao was ignored and Zhao Heng locked his life gate.

The generals were crying loudly, and Li Long just wanted to smile bitterly.
