marquis of jingan

Chapter 819 The wind is rushing and the clouds are low, and the enemy is coming!

Zhou Shizhong, as the eldest son of the famous general Zhou Jin'an, is also the actual controller of the current Southern Conscript Army and the general of the imperial court. Logically speaking, it is completely unnecessary for him to be dictated by a prince from the imperial court.

Even, he could completely ignore King Wei's orders.

This fourth prince can't do anything to him.

Especially now, the imperial court's reinforcements have not yet arrived, and the Huaihe River is almost full of conscripts from the South, Zhou Shizhong naturally does not have to follow Zhao Kai's orders.

But the imperial court, after all, did not follow the rules, and there must be some favors involved.

Wei Wangkai's mother's surname is Lang, which is Zhu Lizhen's surname, and Lang's surname is also Zhu Lizhen's family name.

And Northern Qi general Zhou Jinan, although he was not real Zhu Li, his family surrendered to Zhu Lizhen as a slave when Shenzhou Lu Chen fell more than 60 years ago, and the master's family was the Lang family.

Although General Zhou made his fortune later and became a famous general in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Zhou family almost formed its own faction and became a well-known "general" in the Northern Qi court, but this kind of "pedigree" is the most important thing in Zhu Lizhen's internal affairs.

In Zhu Li's view, the Zhou family will always be inseparable from the Lang family. Even if they are now prosperous, they have to bow their heads and call out to the Lang family when they see the Lang family.

As for the Zhou family, they would naturally be regarded as members of the Lang family by the real Zhu Li in the court.

That's why Wei Wang Zhao Kai told Zhou Shizhong that they belonged to him.

From the point of view of Zhu Lizhen's family, they are indeed their own people, and it can even be said that they are "inseparable".

Therefore, even though Zhou Shizhong didn't really want to carry out Zhao Kai's idea, considering this relationship, he could only hold his nose and play around with Zhao Kai.

anyway most...

It's just a little bit of death.

Daqi has already occupied the Central Plains, and the Southern Dynasty in the south has only room for defense and no possibility of attack. At most, it takes a little time to recruit recruits, and it will make up for it.

Seeing Zhou Shizhong nodding his head in agreement, King Wei Zhao Kai was overjoyed, he stood up, saluted Zhou Shizhong with fists in his hands, and said with a smile: "Before I came, this king went to see the concubine mother, and the concubine mother said that there are several uncles at home who are of the right age. This time, the general is willing to help you, the girl who is married on behalf of you. After I return to the capital, I will definitely be a matchmaker so that the uncles can marry the Zhou family."

Hearing the word "mother concubine", Zhou Shizhong's face twitched slightly.

He is the "Second Generation".

When I was young, I followed my father and visited Lang's house.

I have met the little princess of Lang's family for a few times by chance. When I was a teenager, I couldn't help but have some rippling in my heart.

Later, when the little princess of the Lang family married into the palace, Zhou Shizhong slowly stopped thinking about it.

After hearing Zhao Kai's words, the Great General of the Southern Conquest Army thought about it, and then said: "Thank you Your Highness, everything can only be discussed after His Highness returns to the capital."

At this time, the dust has not yet settled.

To be honest, Zhou Shizhong didn't particularly want to bet heavily, nor did he really want to marry the Lang family. After all, although the status of the Lang family in the court was still not low, the Zhou family was not too far behind.

Of course, if Wei Wangkai was able to sweep away his other opponents and become the new king after returning to the capital, then this marriage, even if Zhou Shizhong himself asked for it, he would have to ask for it.

After the two chatted for a while, King Wei Zhao Kai took a deep breath and said, "Unknown General, when are you going to attack?"

Zhou Shizhong thought for a while, looked at Zhao Kai, and asked: "Your Highness is ordered to accompany the army to oversee the army this time, shouldn't it mean returning to Yanjing after the first battle?"

"Of course not."

Zhao Kai said slowly, "This time, I should stay by the Huaihe River and fight the Southerners until..."

Having said that, he did not continue.

But the meaning in the words was obvious until the old emperor died.

"Although I have been on the front line for a long time, I can't delay it for half a year. I have no record at all."

"This king needs a steady stream of military exploits, so report to Yandu."

Zhao Kai took two steps closer, moved closer to Zhou Shizhong, and said in a low voice, "Father seems to value this very much."

Now, due to His Majesty's illness, the competition for the throne in the capital is becoming more and more fierce, and Zhao Kai, who has a huge mother's family, naturally tries to find out what his father likes.

According to the reliable information provided by the Lang family, after His Majesty fell ill, he paid more attention to military merit.

That's why the fourth prince took the risk and voluntarily applied to leave Yandu, and came to the "supervisor" of the Southern Expedition Army along the Huaihe River.

The purpose is to gain military exploits and show the old man in the palace a look.

Besides acting as a show, Zhao Kai even had some other, bold ideas...

Zhou Shizhong was silent for a long time, and finally slowly raised his head to glance at the young prince in front of him, lowered his voice and asked, "Your Highness, Your Majesty's body..."

"how?"

"Not very good."

His Royal Highness King Wei shook his head slightly, and said helplessly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have left Yandu."

Having said that, he paused, then smiled at Zhou Shizhong.

"Not too bad, though."

His Royal Highness King Wei spoke softly.

"Otherwise, I dare not leave Yandu."

………………

Hongde was born in October 11.

The weather is getting colder every day, and the autumn wind blows across the Huai River, taking away the autumn tigers that lasted for several months.

As time passed day by day, no matter whether it was Ling Su or Xue Wei... even Su Ding and Shen Yi, they all gradually let down their vigilance.

Because the weather is cold, there is basically no way to fight the battle.

Unbeatable in every sense.

The equipment of the Qi people is not much better than that of Da Chen. Although the northerners are indeed more resistant to cold weather, it is hard to say how much more combat power they will have than the southerners when it is really cold.

On October 27th, on this day, Shen Yi was patrolling a section of defense along the Huaidong Line. The early winter wind blew, making Master Shen couldn't help tightening his clothes.

Xue Wei followed behind Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, it seems that there will be no more wars within this year. The Qi people in the north have already sent two reinforcements, but they haven't moved much."

"The next battle should be after the beginning of spring."

Having said that, General Xue looked at Shen Yi with full of energy.

"Mr. Shen, you said last time that you can take us to the North Shore next year."

The big man lowered his voice and asked, "Can I really go to the north to see?"

Shen Yi glanced back at him, and said with a smile: "As long as the first battle in early spring is fought well, we will really have a chance to go to the north to take a look."

Master Shen narrowed his eyes and looked across the river.

"How many years has it been since the Great Chen generals set foot on the border of Hebei?"

"Many years."

Xue Wei also said: "The last general heard from General Su in private. General Su said that since the first emperor came to General Yuan, no one has ever set foot in the border of Hebei."

"It's rare that he is willing to tell you this."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "General Su is a very good teacher. If you learn more from him, it will be of great benefit to you."

"I have learned a lot from General Su."

Xue Wei grinned and said: "There are many things that I didn't understand in the military books before, but now the general already understands seven or eighty-eight."

While speaking, another gust of strong wind blew, making Xue Wei's clothes rattle.

He couldn't help looking at Shen Yi, and said, "Mr. Shen, the wind is too strong, or you can go back to the camp first, and you will continue to patrol the defense at the end."

Shen Yi turned a deaf ear and continued walking forward.

Xue Wei had no choice but to follow behind Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "It's fine if you don't fight within the year, and if you don't delay Mr. Shen, you can go back to Jiankang to visit Madam, after all Madam is about to..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Shen Yi, who was walking in front, stop and looked to the north with his binoculars.

He also stopped, took out the binoculars from his arms, and watched Shen Yi look in the direction.

At this time, the wind was strong and the clouds were low, and the fog was blown up by the strong wind on the river surface, and the visibility was not very high.

Moreover, seeing that it is about to rain, the visibility is even lower.

On the other side of the Huaihe River, it was pitch black, and it was hard to see clearly.

Only some ships could be seen vaguely.

Suddenly, Shen Yi put down the binoculars and looked back at Xue Wei, his voice was low.

"Send me the general order."

He took a deep breath and opened his mouth slowly.

"Array to meet the enemy!"
