Become a feudal king from today

"I have offended you a lot during the day, and I hope your highness will forgive me. Read"

In the living room of the Gao family residence, Zhongli knelt on one knee.

"Captain Zhong, please rise. I just don't want the captain to fall into Yuan Li's scheme." Zhao Xu said.

When he learned that Zhongli had arrived at the city, he immediately came out to meet him.

Zhongli sighed, "Your Highness's kindness is indeed true. The general is deeply ashamed. Tomorrow, the general will disband his troops and order the children of the Zhong family to return to Shangyi County and no longer serve Yuan Li."

Zhao Xu nodded, "I heard that the general is an upright man, and it turned out to be true when I saw him today. It's just that why did the general vote for such a despicable and shameless person like Yuan Li in the first place?"

Zhong Li looked ashamed when he heard this, "It's not that the general is willing to surrender to Yuan Li, but that there is no one in Yanzhou to vote for except the Yuan family. The general wants to expel the Beidi people, so he can only vote for the Xuanjia army of the Yuan family. However, the general The general never succumbed to Yuan Li and did evil things. Every year during the autumn hunting, the last general would fight with the Beidi people. "

"That's it." Zhao Xu showed an appreciative look.

At this time, Mo Yu on the side said: "In the past there was only the Yuan family, but now Yanzhou has His Highness the King of Yan. Why don't you change the family and join His Highness? It will not be in vain for your lifelong ambition."

"This..." Zhongli looked at Zhao Xu after hearing this, sighed slightly, and said, "How dare Zhongli have such extravagant hopes with his filthy body."

"Hahaha..." Zhao Xu burst out laughing, "Why should Commander Zhong belittle himself? A lotus grows out of the mud and remains unstained. Although Commander Zhong is in the Yuan family's army, he is not in the same league. It is extremely difficult. If Commander Zhong is willing to join our army, I welcome you.”

When Zhongli heard this, he was inexplicably excited.

His Yuan family army could not see Yuan Li's advice several times.

But Yuan Li only scolded him with words, which already made him dissatisfied and gradually disappointed with the Yuan family.

Now Yuan Li deliberately provoked his relationship with King Yan and asked him to kill King Yan.

Now that he calms down and thinks about it carefully, Yuan Li just wants to kill two birds with one stone.

As soon as he sent troops to Yan County, the Yuan family could have an explanation to the wealthy families in other counties.

Secondly, if the court pursues him, he can be used as a scapegoat.

All in all, he is just an abandoned son of the Yuan family.

In addition, Gao Yuan plotted to kill his father, and Yuan Li protected him instead.

Now he only hates the Yuan family.

However, he is not a person who receives salary without merit.

Immediately, he said: "Your Highness, the last general cannot come to His Highness's army for the time being."

"Why?" Zhao Xu was surprised.

"Recently, I overheard the conversation between Yuan Li's confidants and generals. It seems that the Yuan family is carrying out a secret matter. I will wait until I find out the whole story secretly before joining His Highness," Zhongli said.

"Oh?" Zhao Xu frowned when he heard this.

The Yuan family has been quite honest during this period. When Zhongli said this, he immediately became vigilant.

Now that the Wangfu has broken up with the Yuan family, he has to be careful at all times.

"It's just that I have wronged the captain. And if the captain goes back like this, aren't he afraid of Yuan Li's suspicion? In this case, the captain should just stay." Zhao Xu was grateful in his heart, but he felt sorry for letting Zhong Li put himself in danger.

"The general must repay his kindness, not to mention that Your Highness saved my father." Zhongli said seriously, "But there is some truth to what Your Highness said. Therefore, at the end of tomorrow, we will lead troops to attack the city. At that time, Your Highness will only need to send people with superb archery skills to shoot." One arrow will suffice for the last general. If the last general is injured and defeated, he returns to Fan Yang and Yuan Lizing has nothing to say."

Chang Wei and others nodded after hearing this.

Zhao Xu nodded, "It will be very hard for Captain Zhong."

After discussing the matter, Zhongli returned at night.

The next morning.

Zhao Xu and the generals climbed onto the city wall, and by this time the Li army had finished arranging their troops.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhonglijun rushed towards Wubao amid a burst of shouts of killing.

Among them, Zhongli rushed to the front, looking forward to avenging his father personally.

Since it is an exercise, it is natural to act more realistically.

When Zhongli left, he told him that the children of the Zhong family would tie white cloth strips on their heads and arms.

Yuan Li tied up his arms.

Therefore, Chang Wei ordered the crossbowmen to fire arrows more often at Yuan soldiers.

Of course, the children of his Zhong family also had to fight.

However, the crossbowman fired arrows at their lower body, trying not to cause fatal injuries to them.

"Xu Lie, are you ready?" Zhao Xu said to Xu Lie.

Xu Lie nodded. When Zhongli came within 100 meters, he bent his bow and aimed an arrow at Zhongli.

Zhongli had been paying attention to the movements on the city wall. When he saw the people around King Yan firing arrows, he deliberately did not dodge.

"Ah." The arrow hit his shoulder, and he couldn't help but scream in pain and fell to the ground.

The children of the Zhong family were shocked and dragged Zhongli back.

The general was injured, and the soldiers who followed the charge were unwilling to fight and retreated one after another.

Less than half an hour after Zhongli was rescued and returned to the army, the Yuan family's troops began to retreat along the way they came.

Looking at the Yuan family's army gradually disappearing, Chang Wei sighed softly, "I hope Zhongli can come to the palace as soon as possible to join the army, so that we can have another brave general."

Zhao Xu nodded.

The royal army indeed lacks generals. There used to be only 30,000 generals, so it was not easy to pick out so many generals.

Now that it has expanded to 60,000 people, there is even less.

After all, generals need military literacy.

In a battle, sometimes the general's decision will affect the entire battle.

Now, it is not obvious that he is only playing defensive battles in Yanzhou, but in the future, if he travels far away to fight in the field, it will be reflected then.

"Excellent generals can't just wait, they must also find ways to cultivate them themselves." Zhao Xu said.

Just like what happened with Bingzhansi, as the research and development technology becomes more and more profound, his demand for talents will become higher.

The army is the same as the government.

"According to my idea, I will set up a school in the army to train during the day. At night, I will call the generals together to study tactics and teach them literacy."

"Then, we will establish such a system in each battalion, teaching soldiers tactics and fighting skills in the evening, plus ideological education." Zhao Xu spoke eloquently.

"Ideological education?" Chang Wei, Mo Yu and others were stunned. This was another new word.

Zhao Xu coughed twice, "Just to let them remember to be loyal to the king and protect the land as their duty..."

Chang Wei and others understood what was said.

Zhao Xu said to Liu Fu again, "This time the officialdom of Shanggu County has been basically destroyed. The government system needs to be re-established. The selection of officials is a problem. These days, I have always had an idea, which is to promote the reform of the official selection system."

"Reform in the official selection system?" Liu Fu was full of curiosity when he heard this.
