The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 777

To the north of Jiangxi County, King Ning Zhao Yongshen was in armor, riding horses and walking at the forefront of the team, with [-] troops behind him.

Of course, Zhao Yongshen himself knew how much water this so-called [-] army had.

Even so, Zhao Yongshen is still very happy, because he finally has military power, although this military power is not yet secure.

But he believes that after going through this great battle, he can truly grasp the power.

At that time, his waist will be hardened, and the foundation of Prince Ning's Mansion will be established.

"My lord, I heard that the Yong army has besieged the city of Rong, and I'm afraid they will attack the city soon, but I don't know how long Li Jinzhong can hold it!"

"I just hope he can hold on until our reinforcements arrive!"

The two people who spoke were Tongzhi, the commander of Nanhai County, Jiangxi County, who was in charge of commanding the troops sent by the two counties.

After the two men spoke, Zhao Yongshen continued, "As long as we join forces with the Lingbei army, we will have [-] troops. After crossing the river, let alone defeating the Yong army, we can always contain their strength!"

At this time, someone said: "The scouts came to report that Yang Hongwen from Lingbei County took his soldiers across the river to investigate the situation, and he hasn't come back until now... Can something happen?"

Zhao Yongshen knew about this matter, the distance between them was not very far, and news was passed between the two armies every day.

Different from the worries of these two people, in Zhao Yongshen's heart, it would be a good thing for him if Yang Hongwen died outside.

After all, Yang Hongwen is dead and the army is still there. As the leader of the Five Southern Counties Alliance, he can easily take over the military power.

Only Zhao Yongshen said calmly: "He is a man of great fortune and destiny, nothing will happen to him!"

"The journey has been relatively slow in the past two days. I see that the troops are in high spirits. We can go faster!"

"Both of you go down to deliver the order, we have to go another twenty miles before dark!"

Hearing this order, the two colleagues looked at each other with complicated expressions.

This order was very abrupt and they were not discussed with the two of them, so they felt uncomfortable.

But when he thought that they were already grasshoppers on the same rope, and Zhao Yongshen's proposal was really necessary, the two of them could only hold their noses and recognize each other.

"Yes!"

When the two left, Zhao Yongshen smiled, which meant that his first attempt was successful.

Next, he only needs to step by step to gradually gain military power.

At this moment, he has already seen that the whole party is in his pocket, and the next thing is that he and Zhao Yanxun will compete in the world.

Pulling the reins, Zhao Yongshen sat on the horseback with a brighter smile on his face.

During this period of time, his plan has been steadily realized, so he has a strong sense of gain.

Cool... Only this word can accurately sum up his mood.

Just when Zhao Yongshen was enjoying himself alone, a voice of complaint came from behind him.

"My lord, the prince is here!"

Zhao Yongshen turned his head to look behind him, and sure enough, he saw his son coming on horseback, so he suppressed his smile.

In front of his children, he has always been the image of a strict father.

Zhao Yongshen led the troops to the north, and Zhao Yanjue, as the son of the eldest son, was not idle either. He was in charge of the allocation of grain and grass.

This errand has to deal with various ministries, and it happens to have a good relationship with these people, and it is in a state of "moisturizing things and making no noise".

It can be said that Zhao Yongshen and his son, one bright and one dark, have worked hard to control the army.

"Father, there are two pieces of news from the palace, one good and the other bad!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yongshen, who was in a good mood, immediately frowned and asked, "What good news?"

"The food donated by the gentry, totaling 20 shi, has already begun to ship, and some of their servants will be sent to the front line!"

These people really gave in, and Zhao Yongshen was overjoyed.

It's been a long time since they had to send out the food, and now they are responsible for the escort, Zhao Yongshen knows how difficult it is.

Zhao Yongshen's brows stretched out, and he only heard him say: "In this way, a lot of people's resources can be saved, and more troops can be formed!"

"exactly!"

Then Zhao Yongshen asked again: "What is the bad news?"

Zhao Yanjue lowered his head and said, "There are rumors all over Jiangxi that someone from the Wangfu assassinated Fang Hongji!"

"Didn't you say that you did it cleanly, how could this happen?" Zhao Yongshen said in a bad tone.

"Father, there are traitors in the palace, they must have spread this matter, and if they can spread the rumors, it must be the supervisor who is responsible for doing something wrong!"

Zhao Yongshen didn't need Zhao Yanjue to say these things, but Zhao Yongshen could guess that other organizations did not have such strength and motivation except for the editorial supervisor who was hiding in the dark.

"Let people strictly investigate, anyone who dares to chew their tongues must be severely punished!"

Sending someone to assassinate Fang Hongji is a very serious crime for Prince Ning's Mansion, and it will affect their shallow hearts.

If the rumors spread too much, it is not impossible for the gentry to abandon Prince Ning's Mansion.

"Go back to Jing'an, summon the gentry from all over the place again, and explain to them the whole story, we must not let people play tricks!"

"Let the local government cooperate with the investigation and find out all the supervisors!"

Zhao Yongshen ordered three tasks in a row, which shows that he attaches great importance to the rear, and also shows his trust in Zhao Yanjue.

"Boy, go back now, father can go north with peace of mind!"

"After you go back, you must be careful and considerate in doing things!" Zhao Yongshen instructed carefully.

"The battle is dangerous, father and king must also take care!" Zhao Yanjue said very solemnly.

After the father and son said goodbye, one went south and the other went north.

130 miles ahead of them was the bank of the great river, where Yang Hongwen's men were stationed.

Yang Hongwen did not return for seven or eight days, and the military affairs were presided over by Liu Cheng, the commander of the capital.

But this Liu Cheng's prestige is not good, and it is okay to act as an agent for military affairs in the short term, but after a long time, the subordinates will not be able to suppress him.

"Liu Qian's matter, why hasn't the agreed three thousand shi grains been delivered yet?"

"That's right, you can't let the brothers fight hungry..."

"My lord, hurry up and hurry up. If there is no food, you can accept money!"

In the military tent, listening to the chatter of his commanders and envoys, Liu Cheng's head is getting dizzy at the moment.

On the surface, these people came to urge food, but in reality they were looking for benefits.

There was enough food in the first place, but it was supposed to last for half a month, but it only took seven or eight days to run out. It was obviously greedy by the people below.

It's okay to give money directly if there is no food. These people don't want their faces at all.

At this moment, Liu Cheng didn't know what to say. If he said one sentence, the following people might reply ten or twenty sentences.

"My lord, let me tell you... If there is no food, let's stop fighting and let the brothers pack up and go home!"

"I think it's okay. There are people who go to war hungry. This is not letting the brothers die!"

Seeing these people talking too much and threatening him with retreat, Liu Cheng couldn't bear this moment no matter how much he could bear it.

"Shut up..."

"You bastards, what are you talking about? Retreat? Are you thinking about it?"

"If you want the benefits of food, you have to have a limit... You are so persecuting, why don't you just chop me off and exchange it for food!"

"If you don't fight the battle well, those gentry will really run out of food. Will the hungry brothers tear you apart?"

In this day and age, everyone speaks out of benefits, and if they don't give benefits, the boss is shit.

"Enough is enough!" Liu Cheng said coldly.

Immediately, regardless of the people in the tent, Liu Cheng walked out of the army formation on his own.

"This is all to my lord, why don't you come back, the humble job can't bear it!"

"Fortunately, King Ning will arrive in three to five days!"
