The struggle of the reborn prince

Although everyone didn't know what the prince was doing, but out of great trust in the prince, they resolutely carried out the order and assembled quickly, leaving only one team to prepare for the Xia army's sudden attack, and the rest all got off their horses and rested.As soon as the battle started, Zhao Tang organized the cooks, doctors, and miscellaneous workers of the inner guard squadron, including Jianxi, into the logistics support squadron, responsible for treating the wounded, guarding the prisoners, and taking in stragglers. Run behind, and it will be their turn to be busy when they are resting.

"Second Master, I'm tired, drink ginseng soup first to suppress my hunger!" Jian Xi ordered a group of people to quickly drive the prince's exclusive car over, set up a pergola, put up a bed, a low table, and served herbal tea, Waiting for the fruit, the prince wiped his hands and face, rinsed his mouth, and handed him a bowl of still warm ginseng soup.

"Hehe, you are the one who is exhausted from joy. You look like a big duck when you walk. I told you to follow the army in Liangu. If you don't listen, you know what it is like this time!" Zhao Tong took the soup and said with a smile .

"Hey, I'm a humble person by nature. If I don't see the prince for a day, I feel restless, can't sleep, can't eat..." Jianxi said with a smile standing behind Zhao Tun.

"Okay, don't pretend to be with me, your fat is enough to boil out ten catties of oil!" Zhao Tang patted Jianxi's stomach and said, "One bowl of ginseng soup is enough for me, and the rest will be given to the wounded." Send it!"

"My lord has given orders, why are you still standing there!" Jian Xi knew the lord's temper, although he felt a little bit reluctant, but dared not refuse to listen, and ordered someone to send the wounded soldiers.

"How about our casualties?" Zhao Tun asked Jianxi after taking a sip of soup.

"Second Master. It's okay. There are more than 20 injuries, and they are not dead yet, but a few of them are too seriously injured. Even if they are revived, they will be disabled!" Jianxi looked at the prince's face carefully. He said, he knew that what the prince was most afraid of hearing was the number of casualties, but he didn't dare to report it truthfully.

"Well, let them take good care of it and send it to Taiyuan Daying as soon as possible, where the conditions are better!" Zhao Tong said calmly.But he still feels uncomfortable. He knows very well that in a war, people will die and people will be injured. "That's right. A few proton soldiers were captured today. Have you found out their identities?" He asked again.

"Second Lord, I posted it today and caught 37 of them. In addition to the eight caught in the previous two days, there are 45 of them, and their status is not low. There are people in the family who are officials in the court. Among them are the city lords. There are junior officials in the middle department, and there are also high-level officials such as military commanders and governors, and most of them are family heirs!" Jian Xi immediately changed his face. Jian said with a smile.

"Well, take care of them all, and find a chance to send them away quickly. This matter can be handed over to Zhang Que of the caravan. After all, it is not appropriate for us to come forward to let people know. Let them get in touch first, and then determine the specific price. Look it up again, don't miss the big fish, and I don't need to talk about other things!" Zhao Tang nodded and said.I wondered why Brother Cha had brought so many children of big bosses into his own army. Normally, as a courtier, even if the emperor's elder brother loved him and sent him a special army, he might not feel relieved to let so many children of high-ranking officials go. in his camp.be controlled by it.There is only one reasonable explanation for the appearance of this strange phenomenon, and that is Chage's restlessness.He is no longer the good brother who loyally serves the emperor, but has a heart of disobedience.

Zhao Tong thought about it, and this explanation is the most reasonable. The contemporary Xia Lord is Li Qianshun, Cha Ge’s half-brother. This person is 17 years old and is in charge of the government. However, this person is different from the previous ones. He is not a pioneering king, but a conservative one. The Lord, one-sidedly turned to the Liao Kingdom, and was politically attached to the Liao Kingdom.For the Song Dynasty, a reconciliation policy was adopted. In order to stop the army with the Song Dynasty, he did not hesitate to execute Wei Baomi and Ling Jieyu who had planned to disturb the Song Dynasty border for the Queen Mother Liang, hoping to maintain the status quo and live that kind of stable life.

In addition, Li Qianshun is also an admirer of Han culture, and the dispute between "Fan rites" and "Han rites" in Xia Kingdom has been going on for a long time, and it is even more intense when it comes to him.He decided to vigorously promote Han culture in spite of the courtiers' objections, in order to change the "backward" atmosphere in Xixia, and specially established Chinese studies, selected a large number of royal family and noble children to teach Sinology, established "cultivating talents", and the state provided granary food for training.However, his emulation of the Song Dynasty's practice of emphasizing literature over military affairs aroused dissatisfaction among noble ministers in the court.

And Cha Ge was young and promising, brave and good at fighting, wise and brave, and he succeeded Ren Duo Baozhong as the commander of the Xixia Army when he was less than 20 years old, and became the actual controller of the Xia Army.No matter how high your butt is sitting on a chair, you will think about how high things are. Brother Cha is a young man who has great ambitions, is in control of power, and has won successive battles in battle. There are also a group of people underneath who are fanning the flames. It is normal to have higher thoughts.These young men in Brother Cha's army are the children of those who want to help him ascend to the Great Treasure. One is to show loyalty to Brother Cha, and the other is to train the next generation and prepare to be a good successor.

"It seems that we have to reconsider the question about Brother Cha!" Zhao Tang figured it out, and he had to think carefully about the next step.

"Second Master, don't you worry about my work? The guards are all loyal to us. When the time comes, if they report illness, death, escape, or disappearance, their names will not be on the roster!" After thinking of many things for a while, he still whispered, "Second Lord, how much money can we earn from this transaction?"

"At least this number is required!" Zhao Tong stretched out his hand and stretched his fingers, shaking Jian Xi's eyes.

"50 guan?!" Jianxi exclaimed, but immediately covered his mouth, looked around carefully, and saw that other people didn't pay attention, so he let it go. This number is quite a lot. Reward 'Give Xia Zhu 20 guan, and the prince dared to offer 50 guan.

"It's too conservative, you missed a digit, there are many people over there, it's all money!" Zhao Tang said with a snort, and then glanced at Xia Jun opposite, his eyes were full of greed.

"Five hundred... 500 million, the second master Xia Guo's tax revenue may not be able to reach this amount in a year, can they get it?" Jian Xi was also the owner of the money, but he was still frightened and stammered.

"Tch, do Wang Fu's family have any money, how much money does Cai Jing's family have, and you have been to that Zhu Mo's house too, their money will be less than that in the national treasury, I'm afraid they will not hurt their muscles if they spend 500 million yuan each. , the crows in the world are generally black, and some of these people’s families have been passed down for hundreds of years, so this money is not bad, we don’t want more than 500 million!” Zhao Tong said rolling his eyes.

"My lord, shall we stop chasing?" Xin Zhao asked after he had arranged all the things.

"Chasing, why not chasing, everyone is tired, let's chase after a break!" Zhao Tang looked up at Zhao Xin and said, "I'm talking about a pen business with Jian Xi, you go and see if Miss Zhe and the others have made arrangements? Turn around Let's eat together, that's all your trouble!"

"Hmph, who cares so much!" Xin Zhao said imitating the prince's white eyes.

"Xin Zhao, I asked the Fire Army to prepare meals for them, and told them not to fire themselves!" Jianxi hurriedly smoothed things over, Xin Zhao hummed and walked towards the Fuzhou Army.

"Jianxi, did you find out that Xin Zhao seems to have changed. In the past, when I saw Zhe family members as cross-eyed chickens, how can I tell them love today, and nothing will happen?" Zhao Tama looked at Xin Zhao's back and said .

"Second Master, no, maybe Xin Zhao has figured it out, don't worry!" Jian Xi said.

"I figured it out, what did he figure it out?" Zhao Tang asked in bewilderment, Jian Xi looked at the prince's puzzled look and smiled but did not answer. . . .

Brother Cha used several sharp turns to successfully distance himself from the Song army. He was going to turn to the northwest again, so that he could shake off the Song army and go around to the mouth of the Tumao River, where he joined the reinforcements sent by Wuli as planned. If you cross the Tuwei River under their cover, then you are like a tiger entering the forest and escaping from the sky.But when he was struggling for his ideal, he suddenly found that Song Jun was not moving.

"My lord, should we still run away?" Yuhou, who was under Brother Cha's tent, asked.

"Run... what a fart!" Brother Cha whipped Yuhou off his horse. In fact, Yuhou was also looking for a whip. He went east and ran back to Liangu. He finally escaped. Go back and add food to others; turn to the northwest, the direction where the Song army got off their horses and rested is the northwest, who knows if they set up an ambush there, waiting for themselves to take the bait!

"Rest on the spot and wait and see what happens!" Now Brother Cha has been teased by Zhao Tong, and he has long since lost his confidence in the past. Before making every decision, he must carefully consider whether the front is a pitfall. He decided Let's take a look before talking, and take the opportunity to rest.

Compared with Zhao Tama's side, Brother Cha's treatment is much worse. Not to mention the awning for the sun, even the sleeping tent was burned, so he could only sit on the yellow sand, but he stood up after sitting for a while. The sand can bake eggs after being exposed to the sun, and the butt can't stand it, so I have to squat.Fortunately, a soldier with long eyes immediately came over and dug a hole, turned up the sand from the bottom, built a mound, took off his cloak and picked it up with a spear to set up a small shed, and finally let him have a place. A cool place to rest.

Brother Cha sat down and took the kettle and lunch from the soldiers. The water was from the river, and the food was from someone who snatched it in a hurry yesterday. The roasted half-baked mutton and two dry biscuits, Smelling the aroma wafting from the opposite side, Cha Ge took two bites and found it even harder to swallow.

"What's my next step?" I don't know which celebrity said, 'When the stomach is empty, the mind will think more things', Cha Ge also had to think about his future.If you die in battle, it's easy, you can seal your wife and son, and have a grand burial, don't worry about it; if you go back alive, you will lose your army, how to explain to the emperor, even if you save your life, you may only be dismissed from office and placed in confinement in the mansion. There is no day to get ahead; if you are captured today, what will be the result. . .
