Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 166

Wang Shouren was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Zhu Houzhao in confusion: "Tomorrow? Tomorrow?"

Looking up at Wang Shouren, Zhu Houzhao asked with some doubts: "Is there any problem?"

The reason for choosing tomorrow is very simple. Zhu Houzhao doesn’t want to listen to some people’s gossip in the capital. There will definitely be people who object to his going to the northwest. Some are worried about themselves, and some are worried that things in the northwest will be exposed.You must know that although the Northwest seems to be just the Northwest, the Northwest is a cornucopia of many people.

No matter what the age, there are a lot of people who make a fortune for the country, let alone this age when even the military salary is daring to be wasted.

Wang Shouren shook his head hastily. He didn't want to miss this opportunity to go to the Northwest. This should be his own opportunity. Wang Shouren remembered it very clearly.This was the Civil Fortress Change. Wang Shouren had a deep understanding of what it means to be powerless and what it means to serve the country. This incident cast a huge shadow on his young heart.

From that time on, I vowed to learn the art of war and be loyal to my country. When he was 15 years old, he wrote to the emperor many times, offering advice to put down peasant uprisings, but to no avail.In the same year, I traveled to Juyongguan and Shanhaiguan by myself for a month. Looking beyond the Great Wall, I already had the ambition to manage the four directions.The imperial court built a monument for the trilateral governor Wang Yuexiu's tomb, and chose to fight for this opportunity.

When I came to the East Palace, I was waiting for such an opportunity. Now that this opportunity came, how could I miss it?

"Your Highness, I have no problem with you, it's just that we won't wait for Master Qin Hongqin?" Wang Shouren said after thinking for a while.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said without any hesitation: "Master Qin Hong will go directly to the three sides and will not join us. The situation in the northwest is chaotic now. The most important thing is to stabilize the northwest as soon as possible. Qin Hong has no time to enter." Jing, Ben Gong has to rush there as soon as possible, you go back and clean up, and leave early tomorrow morning!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Shouren agreed, and said with a little excitement. The sentence he just asked actually had a deep meaning.

From Zhu Houzhao's answer, Wang Shouren had already got the answer. His Royal Highness didn't just go to the northwest for a formality. He set off so eagerly because His Royal Highness wanted to fight a war.Wang Shouren immediately felt that his chance had come, because once the war started, his chance to make contributions would come.

At that time, as long as he showed his talent, he would not have to waste time in the East Palace, and the opportunity to show what he had learned came.

Zhu Houzhao is going to the northwest, and his father's side has been settled, and then he will go to his mother's side, which is relatively more difficult.After receiving Zhu Houzhao, I am ready to go to Kunning Palace. I have to talk to my mother about the matter, and I also need to accompany my mother. It may take some days for me to leave.Now my mother is pregnant, so she has to be careful.

Early the next morning, at the gate of the city.

Five thousand sergeants gathered at the gate of the city. Zhu Houzhao was sitting on a tall horse with a helmet on his head and a bright red cape behind him. He was really very heroic.Zhu Houzhao's horse was the best. It was selected from the war horses in the entire Beijing camp.

Although it is far from the legendary BMW, it is enough for Zhu Houzhao now.

Turning his head to look at Wang Shouren who was also sitting on the horse, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "You are going to the northwest, did your father stop you?"

"My father told me that I must serve His Highness faithfully. If there is a war, I must not be cowardly or lose my integrity!" Wang Shouren immediately became serious when he heard Zhu Houzhao's question, and said respectfully.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and nodded: "Wang Qing is really a model of the country, and he teaches his children well, good, very good!"

Why did Zhu Houzhao ask this question?That's because my mother, Empress Zhang, was really worried about me. Last night, because my father agreed to go to the northwest, I had an awkward fight with my father. It is said that my father could not stay in Kunning Palace last night.You know, since my mother was pregnant, my father has been there every night, and was driven to the Qianqing Palace last night.

But fortunately, it was settled in the end. If Queen Zhang really got into trouble, Northwest herself would not have to go.

"Let's go!" Zhu Houzhao raised the whip in his hand, knocked his legs on the horse's legs, and then the team slowly moved out.

Although there are 8000 cavalry, the actual team has more than 3000 people, and the remaining 5000 people are basically auxiliary soldiers and transporting luggage.Although people can persist, horses can't. These horses all need to eat grass, and their food is better than humans. They are all fat and strong. This is all made by Zhu Houzhao with money. This is also Zhu Houzhao's confidence in these [-] people. s reason.

Apart from the earliest backbone, the later ones have been trained for so long, and they are also very effective.

In addition, these people have been on the battlefield, killed people, and seen blood. These are veterans and elites. Now Zhu Houzhao is giving them delicious food and drink. Look at their arms and broad shoulders. Zhu Houzhao I think these people must be able to fight.Coupled with the best equipment and the best horses, these 5000 people will definitely surprise everyone.

Besides Zhu Houzhao, the one who has the most confidence in this team is Wang Shouren, because he knows best.

Because he was bored in the East Palace, Wang Shouren spent a lot of time in the training ground in Xiyuan. He knew what these soldiers were eating, what training they were undergoing, and even more deeply about their combat power.In Wang Shouren's view, these 5000 people will definitely shine this time, and he is confident to make great contributions.

Of course, Wang Shouren's other confidence comes from His Highness the Crown Prince next to him. How can I put it this way, in Wang Shouren's view, he didn't believe in the things in the market novels and legends, such as unrestrictedly touting those ancient legends? A famous general, one against a hundred, but Wang Shouren was convinced when he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of his own family.

Even Wang Shouren found a lot of scripts, trying to find some descriptions that could be compared with his highness.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao didn't know that the great Confucianist beside him in the previous life had gone to look for the scriptures in this life.

Wang Shouren searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable one, but Wang Shouren spoke highly of his Highness, the number one military general of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, had this combat power, right?Or Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, is probably like his Royal Highness, right?

Zhu Houzhao didn't know about this. If he knew, Zhu Houzhao would tell Wang Shouren that your Highness's target is Li Yuanba.

After the army was launched, Zhu Houzhao traveled during the day and camped at night to rest. Regardless of the process, the journey was very fast. As for the noise in the capital, Zhu Houzhao didn't care.

Zhu Houzhao originally wanted to walk at night, but people can, but horses can't. Walking at night can easily hurt the horse. This is a horse that Zhu Houzhao carefully raised. How could it be so hurt?Besides, these horses can't be too tired, because they have to go to the northwest to fight, and how can they fight when the horses are tired? These five thousand cavalry are Zhu Houzhao's reliance.

When it was dark that day, the army set up camp, and Zhu Houzhao sat in front of the tent, grilling fish over a fire, and pondered with his head down.

The fish was caught by the soldiers in the river next to them when they camped. I have to say that there are still fish in the river in this world, and they are not small.Naturally, Zhu Houzhao didn't need to teach him how to catch fish.Although the weather was cold and the river water was cold, the group of guys were not low in spirits. They took the spears and went to fish, and they were quite accurate.

Some people didn't go into the water at all, and stood on the bank with a bow and arrow to shoot arrows. Unexpectedly, they were quite accurate, and the fish was shot to death directly.

After the fish was caught, he drank fish soup at night, which is also Zhu Houzhao's idea of ​​saving as much as he can.In the northwest, it is very cold, and in this season, it is difficult to transport materials. The luggage I brought may not be used when I have it. Now I can save as much as possible on the road.

Sitting beside Zhu Houzhao, Wang Shouren threw some firewood into the fire from time to time, and turned the grilled fatty fish from time to time.

"Your Highness, a group of people is approaching the camp!" A scout came to Zhu Houzhao's side, bowed and said.

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback, is there anyone?Although it was in the territory of Ming Dynasty, Wang Shouren arranged the marching. With Wang Shouren's wisdom, his knowledge of the art of war, and the knowledge Zhu Houzhao brought from later generations, Wang Shouren's military quality improved rapidly. The scouts and the light and dark sentries were all done by Wang Shouren.

"Have you found out whose team it is?" Zhu Houzhao asked directly without looking up.

"Go back to Your Highness, I found out, it's Lord Qin, the governor of the three sides!" The scout didn't dare to neglect, and said hastily.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, then waved his hands and said, "Leave them alone, let them in!" Zhu Houzhao sighed and said: "This Qin Qing really didn't say that we set off from the capital and rode on the road. He Starting from Shanxian County in Shandong, it will take us day and night to catch up with us!"

"Qin Qing is already 76 years old, I'm afraid this body won't be able to bear it!" Zhu Houzhao stood up and said, "Let's go, follow me to meet you."

Wang Shouren nodded, and then stood up. Zhu Houzhao went to pick up Qin Hong. This is a good thing to show preferential treatment to veterans who are loyal to the country.But Wang Shouren still had a problem, he turned his head and said to the scouts: "How do you know that Xing Jia is the leader of the three sides, Master Qin Hongqin?"

The scout said blankly: "Our people have already mixed into the convoy. It's very late at night, and their precautions are very lax. Our people easily got in and grabbed a few tongues."

Helplessly glanced at the scouts, Wang Shouren walked up quickly, reported the matter to Zhu Houzhao in a little embarrassment, and then said worriedly: "Master Qin will not be angry, will he?"
