Chapter 202: The Unfortunate Teenager
~Date:~November 08~
"Your Majesty, Xia Jun sent someone over to say that Brother Cha wants to interview the prince!" Zhao Tao had just finished eating and was enjoying an ice drink when Wangfu came over to report.
"Oh, did he say something?" Zhao Tong asked, putting down his cup.
"No, I just wanted to discuss something privately with the prince!" Wangfu said, shaking his head.
"Okay, if I don't go and make him look down on me, just say I agree and you go and contact me!" Zhao Tong thought for a moment and agreed.
"Second Master, no, we are sure of winning now. If we have anything to discuss with him, we can just capture him first!" Jian Xi said after hearing this, his horse stopped Wangfu who was about to leave.
"Second Master, Brother Cha is now desperate. If he proposes negotiations at this time, he must have bad intentions. If he jumps over the wall in a hurry and takes the opportunity to assassinate, Second Master will fall into a trap!" Of course, Xin Zhao does not agree with the prince's involvement in danger.
"That's right. He is the general of the defeated army, and I am the victorious army. If he is allowed to plot, the deal will be lost. But if I don't go, how can I know the price he offers? He is at his wits' end and wants to find it in a hurry.
The way out, the price offered will definitely be tempting!" Zhao Tong said with a smile.
"Second Master, you are joking about this kind of thing. You are absolutely not allowed to go!" Zhao Xin said.
"Haha, Wangfu, don't waste your time anymore, go and talk quickly!" Zhao Tong stood up and pulled away Zhao Xin who was blocking the way, signaling Wangfu to leave quickly.
"Your Majesty, you are the second prince of the Song Dynasty, Prince Yan, the leader of the Hedong Road, the commander of the Zhongyong Army, and the master of us people. If anything happens to you, let us tell the emperor, the empress, and the folks in Xiangyi, Zhongyong
The soldiers will explain!" Zhao Xin suddenly knelt down and said.
"Your Majesty, this is the critical moment of the war. Tens of thousands of soldiers are waiting for you. The people of Hedong are looking forward to your triumphant return. You must not take risks at this time!" At this time, everyone in the Guards Battalion who heard the news gathered over and gathered together.
Qi knelt down and said.
"You all get up!" Zhao Tong looked at the people who were shorter than half before him. Not only were the chief officers of the Guards Battalion among them, but also Zhe Meiluan was kneeling among them. He said with some helplessness, finally feeling that he was being
The taste of love,"
Brother Cha wanted to have an interview with me, explaining that the current situation has changed, which will not only affect war or peace, but may also affect the direction of the two countries in the next ten to a hundred years. If I don't go, I may miss this opportunity.
!" Zhao Tong said again.
There is no need for the prince to go there in person, why not send someone to go on his behalf!" Zhe Meiluan said.
"Thank you for Miss Zhe's kindness. Maybe it's Brother Cha's plan to slow down the troops. If you delay here to wait for reinforcements, wouldn't you fall into his trap? Some things need to be decided quickly. It's very inconvenient for messengers to come and go to ask for instructions. Besides, he is Brother Cha."
Come forward. Although he is a defeated general, he is also the prince of a country. We only sent envoys to spread the news. It is a trivial matter that this king is timid. If people say that the Song Dynasty is known as a country of etiquette but does not understand etiquette, it will be a big joke!
"Zhao Tong said with a smile.
"Then I will accompany the prince. If they do anything without permission, I will risk my life to protect the prince!" What the prince said was true. Everyone was at a loss for words, but when they saw the joy, they stood up and said in a hurry.
"We are willing to accompany the prince!" Everyone asked for orders.
"Haha, a sick tiger can't scare me, how can you all go and scare Brother Cha so much that he doesn't dare to come out!" Zhao Tong waved his hands and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the Xia Army envoy said that the two sides are negotiating with the two armies. The general is only allowed to bring ten guards. Others are not allowed to approach, nor are they allowed to take the opportunity to attack the other party or plot to assassinate the general!" At this time, Wang Gao came back and forth.
Report.
"Well, it's fair!" Zhao Tong nodded and said, "Wangfu, Xiangfu, Shuangfu, Yingfu, Zhuge Hong, Lin Shuo, Zhang Kui, Ba Zhou Quanwu, Lei Zhenshan."
"Your Majesty, the general is willing to accompany you as a guard!" When Zhe Meiluan heard the prince's call to escort him, he saw that the prince didn't even look at him, so he felt anxious and recommended himself.
The girl is familiar with border affairs. It would be nice to have a counselor when you go, so let's go together!" Zhao Tao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Those who are destined to die will prepare and come back to gather. I will leave this place to you after I leave.
Xihe Xin Zhao conducts,
If any of you disobeys me, be careful when you come back. I will punish you by washing my horse for three days, no, five days!" Although everyone laughed, the ridiculousness was a bit bitter. As long as the prince is safe, let alone wash the horse, just wash the horse.
He can take a bath every day!
"Zhe Gui, after I leave, you must obey the orders of Commander Zhao. Anyone who disobeys will be severely punished!" Zhe Meiluan turned around and said sternly to the leader of his own soldiers.
"Don't worry, girl, we will definitely obey Commander Zhao's orders!" Zhegui bowed and saluted to accept the order, and then saluted Zhao Xin.
"Miss Zhe, please change your clothes and armor with me. You look so eye-catching in this!" After Zhao Xin returned the gift, he said to Zhe Meiluan with a smile. Zhao Tan watched the two of them leave, feeling strange and even better in his heart. He didn't know that these two
When did individuals come together?
"Second Master, I will wait for you to change your clothes!" He asked someone to cover the awning and hold out a new suit of clothes when he saw the news. "Second Master, you said that you would take mine with you wherever you go, but today you left me behind."
It's done!" Jian Xi opened the prince's hair and combed it again while saying, with a cry in his voice.
"Jianxi, I am keeping you because there are more important things for you to do. Although you are my attendant, you are also the general manager of the palace. Although Zhao Ren, Zhao Lian and others are commanding the army now, they
If I don’t have enough prestige, it’s hard to conquer everyone. If I’m not here, I can only
You still have power in their hearts and can suppress them. This is why I won't let you go this time. I keep all the battle plans I have drawn up with you. If there is an accident, you must rescue Zhao Ren according to the plan.
Bring them all back, this one is heavier!"
"Second Master, I don't want to worry about those bad things. If anything happens to you, I will go with you!" Jian Xi didn't expect that his position in the prince's heart was so important, and he felt even sadder, sobbing.
"Asshole, even if you want to die, you have to wait until you finish the matter for me, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!" Zhao Tong turned around and cursed.
"That's right, I will definitely live up to Second Master's trust and will wait here for you to come back!" Jian Xi said with a few more strokes.
"How could I die so damn easily? I still have a lot of money I haven't got. If I die, I'll take advantage of you!" Zhao Tong opened the magazine of the revolver, checked the chamber, and reloaded it.
Okay, put the gun into the quick holster fastened to your leg, pack it up and said neatly.
"Prince Yan!"
"Prince Jin!" Zhao Tong and Brother Cha each bowed their hands to each other with a smile on their face, and the two people who were fighting for life and death sat together.
Zhao Tong looked at the person in front of him. He was in his thirties, with a slightly thin face eroded by the desert wind and sand. He wore a gilt crown, and two huge gold rings hung from his earlobes. His ears were stretched long, light blue.
His colorful eyes and tall aquiline nose made him look gloomy and cold. He was wearing chainmail and a white turban.
The red cloak has turned khaki, and a long sword hangs from his waist. The hilt is inlaid with a thumb-sized ruby. He holds a half-foot-long golden hammer in his hand. The head of the hammer is in the shape of eight ribs, and the body of the hammer is
It is cylindrical in shape, with an animal head at the front of the hammer handle and a polygonal body at the tail, like a mace holding a fist-sized garlic head.
"This is Shang Fang's Ling Hammer!" Zhao Yu was more interested in this hammer than the person. In the Song Dynasty, Shang Fang's sword represented the emperor's granting the right to kill first and then report. However, Zhao Yu had never seen it before, but he also had a hammer with the same effect in his hand.
'Royal pen'. And Shang Fang ordered the hammer to be
It was the certificate that the Emperor of Xixia authorized the ministers to convey the emperor's orders, exercise military power, mobilize the army, and do things conveniently. It was much more majestic than the "imperial pen" in his hand, which made Zhao Tong feel a little frustrated, so he had to hold the imperial sword hanging in his waist.
Full of facade in front of you.
"He is still a child after all!" Brother Cha looked at Zhao Tong's childish behavior and curled up the corners of his mouth to show that he was smiling. He remembered that when he was his age, he was ordered by the emperor's brother to serve as deputy commander in the expedition to Tibet.
The road to war was determined with a divine arrow.
With his position in the army, he later replaced Renduo Baozhong as the commander-in-chief. From then on, he took charge of the Xixia commander-in-chief. He successively killed Gao Yongnian and Wang Hou, and then killed the unexpectedly born Liu Fa, which further enhanced his prestige.
, won the support of Tubo and domestic wealthy families.
"Is it this child who has pushed him to a dead end?" Thinking about it, Brother Cha, who was a little carried away, looked at the innocent smile on the face of the child opposite and suddenly became alert. The Song army is full of talents and famous generals. It cannot be ignored. He has been there for more than ten years.
The accumulated reputation was destroyed in the hands of this child
Ah! He used to be just an out-of-favor prince who was abandoned at a young age, but he was able to quietly develop his own power. Not only did he regain the emperor's favor, but he also secretly built such a powerful army that he could give up a lot of troops in the early stages of the war.
With hundreds of miles of land, he must be an extremely tolerant person.
Brother Cha didn't believe anything he said about "evildoers" being "exiled" at this time. People said that he "used his troops in a strange way and it was hard to guess", but the child in front of him could accurately grasp his own movements and calculate his true identity.
Purpose is a rare genius who can only be seen in a century. He is really a guy who is 'hated to be alive but a pity to be dead'. Brother Cha suddenly felt sympathy for Zhao Tong!
"Prince Yan is really a young hero, he has achieved great success at a young age!" After the exchange of eyes between the two, Brother Cha said half sincerely, half jealously.
"Haha, each other, I wonder if Prince Jin has heard of the second half of the sentence?" Zhao Tao cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Oh, I'd love to hear the details!" Brother Cha thought for a while, but he really hadn't heard of the second half of the sentence.
"It's a great misfortune for a young man to succeed!" Zhao Tong looked into Brother Cha's eyes and sighed.
"What a misfortune it is for a young man to succeed!?" Brother Cha repeated, "Haha, what Prince Yan said is very wonderful. It's amazing to realize this at such an age!" He is also a smart man, how come he didn't know what Zhao Tong said.
To be honest, I have been on such a smooth journey, and my self-confidence turned into arrogance, which is why I ended up where I am today! To be continued...
