The scout who sent the order rushed over and soon arrived in front of the two.

After dismounting, he knelt on one knee on the ground to salute.

"General, our reinforcements have arrived!"

"The reinforcements have arrived?"

Zhao Ce was a little surprised when he heard this.

As expected, after receiving Zhu Houzhao's request for help, reinforcements gathered. Even if the large army rushed over, they would not arrive tomorrow morning as early as tomorrow morning.

After all, it is difficult to walk on the night road, and there are also large army of Tartars nearby.

If it weren't for Zhu Houzhao's here, the general large army would not have taken the risk of walking on the night road.

But now it's just afternoon, and reinforcements have arrived?

Zhao Ce looked at Zhu Houzhao and saw his unfathomable look.

"Well, who is the general who leads the lead?"

"How many people are there?"

The scout replied: "The reinforcements were led by the Duke of Baoguo."

"The number of people is five thousand, and it will take about half an hour to get here."

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction: "Duke Baoguo is quite smart."

"Go and check again."

The scout withdrew, and Zhu Houzhao saw Zhao Ce's expression of confusion only when he saw that he had a rare expression of confusion and smiled proudly.

"Reinforcements have arrived."

"Although it is only five thousand, it can continue to hold back this group of Tartar troops for a while."

When he saw Zhao Ce, he did not ask questions, but just walked calmly.

Zhu Houzhao quickly said, "Why don't you ask why reinforcements can come so promptly?"

Zhao Ce said funnyly: "Didn't the general tell me to hand over the group of soldiers who killed good people and made contributions to the Duke of Baoguo to deal with?"

"Duke Baoguo will send someone to inquire when he hears that the general has arrived in Xuanfu."

"It is not difficult to learn that General, you have left Xuanfu City and came to Aries' mouth."

Zhu Houzhao is actually very smart.

He sneaked out by himself and didn't tell anyone.

But after arriving at the border, he took the previous incident as an opportunity to tell Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo who was ordered to lead the war.

Zhu Hui has no military talent.

But the victory is that it is loyal enough to be tied tightly with the royal family.

Therefore, even though he had no military achievements at all, Emperor Hongzhi repeatedly promoted him.

He even sat in the position of Duke.

After learning that Zhu Houzhao had arrived at the border, he would definitely make some moves.

This is also the confidence that Zhu Houzhao dares to come and go privately in a dangerous place like the frontier.

Even if you really encounter danger, the person who comes to save him will not come too late.

With his intelligence, it is definitely not difficult to delay the rescue until the arrival of his own.

After Zhao Ce heard that the person who brought the troops was Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, he quickly reacted.

Seeing Zhao Ce, Zhu Houzhao guessed various reasons at once.

"Tsk, you know everything."

Zhao Ce smiled: "It's just that, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will also learn about your outing."

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao had no choice.

After all, he can hide it for a day or two, but no matter how many it is, he can't hide it.

He could only say bitterly: "Sooner or later, we must know."

"I know one day later, one day earlier, I will be beaten anyway."

Zhu Houzhao only hopes that he will be more valuable after he goes back this time.

At least he can have a record and challenge his father.

Even if you are beaten, you can still bear with your head held high and your chest held high.

It’s not like I did last time, I was beaten so worthless.

After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Ce again.

Although Zhao Ce came to persuade him to go back this time, he did not succeed.

Instead, he went with himself.

Even if he made great contributions, his father would be very likely to punish him.

Zhu Houzhao is not afraid of himself.

After all, his father is only his son, so he will definitely not hurt him.

But Zhao Ce is just a minister no matter how he says it.

He patted Zhao Ce on the shoulder and said earnestly: "But you don't worry."

"You are all implicated by me this time, and I'm afraid you will be punished for this."

"After I go back, I will find a way to eliminate your possible crime of malpractice."

Zhao Ce was not very afraid, but he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll thank the general first."

After hearing this, Liu Jin, who was standing aside, quickly pointed at himself expectantly.

"My master, I..."

If the young master helps him escape from his crime, he may be able to suffer less if he is punished at that time.

Zhu Houguan looked at him and said with a smile: "You can finish all the work that I have assigned to you by me."

“…”

It's gone?

Liu Jin laughed dryly and could only continue working if he accepted his fate.

Zhao Ce and Zhu Houzhao returned to the place where the large army rested.

Zhu Houzhao summoned the generals present to the meeting, and Zhao Ce was also busy.

First, I selected the appropriate medicinal materials from the medicinal materials transported by those merchants and asked me to cook soup.

Fortunately, these medicinal materials transported to the border are basically those that stop bleeding and remove blood stasis or have anti-inflammatory effects.

After Zhao Ce picked it out, he roughly estimated the weight and ordered someone to cook medicine.

Some finished medicines were also sent one by one.

The big pot was raised and the boiled medicine was distributed to the injured.

As for seeing the injuries one by one and then taking the right medicine, it will definitely not be enough time.

Zhao Ce himself was injured and insisted on guiding the uninjured people to take care of the injured.

The rest of the free people are busy creating enemies of thousands of people.

Although the enemy is still not far away, everyone is in charge of their duties under the command, and the scene is not at all confusion.

After Zhao Ce finished giving the order, he was temporarily idle.

After looking at the sky, it was probably time for Shen time.

The little prince will probably send someone to continue the feint attack soon.

Zhao Ce thought that before this, he had to simply deal with the wound on his body.

When he went out, Zhao Ce brought Xu Fang and Chen Liang.

I bought fur in Xuanfu yesterday and asked Chen Liang and Xu Fang to send it home, and at the same time reported to Su Caier.

Now there is not a single person around him.

The heavy armor was taken off and thrown aside.

Zhao Ce looked down at the blood-stained clothes and frowned slightly.

Most of these bloods belong to the enemy, and a small part is probably his own.

A prince close-up servant on the side saw that Zhao Ce was about to deal with his wounds, and walked over diligently.

"The Marquis is injured. I'll help you bandage the wound medicine."
