Chapter 196: The General
There are two important reasons for not showing the Fire of the Fire of the World. One is that I was afraid that there would be people who would be ill-thinking in the rudder. The other is that Qingyan felt that the four rudders were distributed in the world and did not interfere with each other in the past. If the Fire of the World was showing the Fire of the World, it is very likely that it would be considered to be bullying by power.
"Crossing the Yellow River in the east? Rong Ben's master said something different. I wonder what acquaintances can Mr. Lu know in the Qingzhu Gang?"
"I'm ashamed to say that I only know Lord Li Dunzhu, and the rest have never been in contact with him. I wonder if Lord Wang has any doubts in his heart?"
Wang Zai was shocked when he heard this. Unexpectedly, the young brother and sister in front of him knew Zhu Jiu. He was famously above his throne. "Young Master Lu, don't be surprised. The main reason is that this matter is very difficult and extremely dangerous. Even if the disciples of this sect want to cross the Yellow River to the east, you must be cautious. By the way, I had the honor to meet Zhu Zhu's helm back then, but I wonder if the ring on his left hand has been found?"
"Lord Lord Wang is really a noble person who forgets things. I wish the Lord Lord's blood jade ring is carried on his right hand." Qing Yan replied with a smile, thinking that Wang Zai was really cautious enough, and he has tried it all since he came in.
"Look at my memory. I can't even tell the difference between the left and right hands for too long. I hope Mr. Lu will forgive me. Having said that, I wonder when you two want to cross the river?" Wang Zai had completely believed that the two knew Zhu Jiu at this time, because there were not many people who knew the blood jade rings, and he only found out by chance.
"At the latest by tomorrow."
Wang Zai said in surprise: "I will cross the river at the end of tomorrow? This is really difficult."
"I'm not afraid of the jokes of the Lord of the Hall. Actually, my brother and sister are from Nan Zhao. This time I came to have a trip, but on the way back, I met a general who insisted on occupying my sister. My brother, who was angry, crippled the other party. So, I can't get through Hangu Pass and have to cross the river from here."
Qingyan's lie was repeatedly crafted and used the Qingzhu Gang's hostility to the court to try to win Wang Zai's sympathy.
"It turns out that I was persecuted by the government. Since that's the case, this busy Tongshu Hall must help." Wang Zai said indignantly: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will definitely prepare everything to send you across the river before the day after tomorrow."
"My brother and sister are here to thank the Lord for their kindness. By the way, please don't refuse these things. This is not the New Year, so I just think of buying wine for my brothers." Qingyan handed over the silver notes prepared in advance.
After pushing each other for several rounds, Wang Zai smiled and put the silver notes in his arms. During this period, he glanced at them several times. The numbers on it made him feel itchy, "Since Mr. Lu is so kind, if he refuses again, he will not give you face. In fact, there is no need. With the identity of the friend of Zhu Zhu's friend, we must also help with this."
"Then I'll ask the master to do it all. My brother and sister live in the inn at the east gate. It's very easy to find. I can send someone to notify me after I'm ready."
--------------------(I'm a dividing line)
Hu Bugui was extremely excited at this time. After defeating the new king alongside the side by side at the foot of Shiren Mountain, his popularity was always the same. Many seniors in the army no longer had the arrogance they used to do and frequently came to congratulate him. But Hu Bugui did not feel much joy in his heart, just because he did not find Zhao Qingyan's trace, even the corpse was good.
But after receiving the news from Baili Ji, Hu Bugui immediately left the newly-taken concubine's boudoir and thought that he would finally find Zhao Qingyan's trace, and this time he would never let him escape again.
"General Hu, where are we going?"
"Hezhou, tell your brothers, just carry food, crossbows, sabers and swords, and make sure to reach the west bank of the Yellow River in the shortest time."
"Abide by the orders of humble duties."
Hu Bugui did not lead Tiefutu this time, but the fastest-mobile kidnapping horse. Thinking of Bailiji's previous order, Hu Bugui was a little puzzled. "Realistically speaking, Your Highness would intercept Zhao Qingyan at all costs, but why didn't he notify Beiyan to cooperate in guarding the east bank, it's really strange."
After muttering, Hu Bugui sighed.
----------------------(I'm a dividing line)
Jinling, Qilin Hall of Taichu Palace.
Zhao Jing looked at the people he trusted the most and felt very emotional.
"I've been very busy these days. I haven't spoken well since you returned to Jinling. I hope you don't take it a good deal."
Except for Zhao Jing, there were only Bai Yi, Shi Zhan and Ye Tian, and all of them were Qingyan's direct descendants.
"Your Highness is too polite. We all know that Nan Zhao is in trouble. You are busy and still thinking about us rough people. I am really flattered." Bai Yi smiled rarely.
"Recalling the night when Prince Pei rebelled, if you didn't lead the Hu Guard to serve the king, the consequences would be unimaginable." Zhao Jing was in a good mood, "But Uncle Bai was right. If we talk too much about our relationship, it would be pretentious, so I said it straight to the point. This time, in addition to reminiscing with a few, I wanted to discuss things with you."
Several generals stood up and saluted.
"It's said it's a discussion, you don't have to be so serious."
"Your Highness is the crown prince, the future emperor, and the prince's good friend. As long as it is you, we will follow it."
"Actually, there is nothing else. After the Battle of Jingbei and the Coup of Pei Wang, the Huwei Camp had less than 10,000 troops. I hope to replenish the troops as soon as possible, otherwise the safety around the capital would be a bit empty."
Bai Yi said in a deep voice: "As long as your highness issues an order to hand it over to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue, we will recruit young and strong people as soon as possible. I believe that it will be 30,000 people in the future."
"I feel relieved with Uncle Bai's words, but what I want to say is not this, but Longxiang Camp." Zhao Jing sighed slightly, "The ministers in the court all advocated breaking up and reorganizing the Longxiang Camp and the Huwei Camp, and establishing two new armies like the left and right Yulin Guards before. But we all know that the Huwei Camp is an iron army. Now only these people are left because of the national war. If Longxiang is placed into the Huwei, I believe you will never agree."
"And except for a few generals, the soldiers under the Longxiang Camp were not at fault. They were just blinded. So I decided that the two armies did not need to be disbanded and reorganized. The Hu Guard was the Hu Guard, and Longxiang was still Longxiang. But then again, without the qualified chief general, no matter how brave the soldiers were, they were just a mess. After weighing the position of the chief general for a while, I felt that only Uncle Bai could do it."
After saying that, Zhao Jing looked at Bai Yi calmly, waiting for the other party's reply. He knew in his heart that it was a bit unsatisfactory to Bai Yi, strictly speaking. After Zhao Xuance and his wife had an accident, Bai Yi had already vowed not to worship the general again. Since then, as the deputy general of the Tiger Guard, it was just because of Qingyan.
When Qingyan said at the last moment of the Battle of Shirenshan, Zhao Jing had already learned from the few people that the Huwei Camp was fully entrusted to Bai Yi and his men. Now Bai Yi rarely goes to the Huwei Camp, and all matters in the army were handed over to Shi Zhan to deal with, gradually leaving people's sight. If it were not for Dong Zhao's order, Bai Yi would have been very likely to be so silent.
"I know that it is inappropriate to do this for Uncle Bai. The Hu Guard is Qingyan's Hu Guard, and even more so for all the Hu Guards. Now I suddenly asked Uncle Bai to be the leader of Longxiong. This is really unkind, but I thought about it for a long time and couldn't do it before I made this decision. If Uncle Bai feels embarrassed, it doesn't matter. I will let General Huaihua beat him first."
"The prince said this before. He said that he did not have any lofty ambitions, nor did he have any ambitions. He did not fight against the enemy on the battlefield for the people of Southern Zhao. A larger part of the reason was because of the words on the shore of Luoxi Lake back then. I wonder if Your Highness still remembers it?" A warm smile appeared on Bai Yi's face.
"It's not just what I say, but also what I'm pressing Qingyan to the ground and hammering it hard." Zhao Jing also smiled knowingly.
"Since your Highness remembers, there is no need to say much about the humble position. As long as you don't leave the capital, you will definitely obey it."
Zhao Jing knew Bai Yi’s concerns, and it was more because Qingyan and Dong Zhao’s sake, staying around the capital did not hinder the care of the side-by-side royal palace. “It’s great that Uncle Bai can agree. Please rest assured that when you are not in the side-by-side royal palace, I will guarantee with my life that things that happened more than 20 years ago will never happen again.”
"I dare to ask Your Highness, what should I do if Huwei Camp?"
"Uncle Bai, you are the head general of Longxiang camp, and all appointments, including the deputy general, are decided by you. Shi Zhan Guan was promoted to deputy general of the Huwei camp, and Ye Tian was promoted to Ya General. Everything in the camp was like Longxiang, and Shi Zhan was fully responsible for all the appointments. I wonder what are your objections to this arrangement?"
With a few orders, it can be seen that Zhao Jing trusted and valued Bai Yi and others. Except for the military soldiers and Jinwu Guards in the Gyeonggi, all the troops in the Gyeonggi were Qingyan's people. The leader of the Xuanwu camp led Huang Quan as the old part of Huainan, and his relationship with the royal palace was very close. The two main forces outside the city were all controlled by Qingyan's people, which was equivalent to entrusting all the security of the Gyeonggi.
As for Shi Zhan's promotion to deputy general of the Hu Guard, it was Zhao Jing and the others who were tacit. Everyone knew that Qing Yan's body would not be seen in one day, and the position of the chief general of the Hu Guard Camp could only be his, and no one could get involved.
"I am obeying Your Highness's orders. Please rest assured about the safety of the surrounding areas of the capital. We will never embarrass the prince. But I am here to say something disrespectful. I hope your highness can protect the prince's mansion side by side. Now, except for the old lady and the princess, there are no relatives of the prince in the palace. If they have any accidents, I can only apologize for death."
"Uncle Bai, don't worry, I will draw 200 Jinwu Guards to patrol the surroundings of the palace day and night, and set up secret whistles, and will never put any danger to the palace." Zhao Jing walked to Bai Yi and patted the other party's shoulder. "Even if this identity is only based on personal emotions, I will never let the palace make any mistakes. Otherwise, after Qingyan comes back, I will still have the face to call myself a good brother."
