Chapter 41 The Prince's Worry 1

Above the Luan River, the river is very lively, shouting in unison one after another. Nearly a thousand strong soldiers were naked, and they were divided into teams and shouted in unison to drag huge wooden piles into the water. In the waist-deep water, more than a hundred wrestlers who are proficient in water are naked and fixed the piers in the water with the help of the buoyancy in the water. The prototype of a pontoon bridge has begun to take shape.

Although it is summer, the weather is not hot, and it will be chilly after being immersed in water for a long time. However, these Zhao soldiers were tireless, but their morale was high and shouted slogans in unison, but they were in full swing.

Zhao Zhang on the shore checked carefully for a long time, and personally went into the water to test the firmness of the pier. Then he nodded to the shore with satisfaction and shouted at the Zhao soldiers and soldiers who were busy on the water: "Brothers, you have worked hard. Work harder to complete it the day after tomorrow. In the evening, I asked someone to send a fat pig to reward my brothers.

As soon as they heard that there was meat to eat, all the soldiers cheered and shouted in unison: "Thank you, prince."

Zhao Zhang laughed and whispered to Si Jian beside him: "You should pay more attention here. Let your brothers work harder these days. Be sure to complete the pontoon bridge before sunset the day after tomorrow. If you don't have enough manpower, I can add it for you. If you have any other difficulties, you can send someone to come to me directly."

Si Gui is the official responsible for building the city and bridge in Zhao Junzhong. Although his responsibilities are not high, he has always been ciless beside Zhao Zhang, but there is an answer, and he dares not surpass anything. Hearing the words, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I will do my best to take orders from my humble position..."

Before I finished speaking, I didn't notice that Zhao Chapter frowned, his face sank, and rudely interrupted, "I'm not trying my best, I'm asking you to complete it. In short, I have a request to be as soon as possible. You are so beautiful. Naturally, I, Zhao Zhang, will not treat you badly. If you miss the military opportunity, I will use your head to atone for your sins!"

Na Si almost listened to Zhao Zhang's tone and looked up to meet Zhao Zhang's forced eyes. He couldn't help shivering and said tremblingly; "Yes... It is... Yes, the humble job must be completed. Please, son..."

Zhao Zhang nodded and didn't wait for Si Jian to finish speaking. He raised the whip and slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely, turned the horse's head and galloped away with his own soldiers. The horse's hoof raised a piece of dust, choking the dangerous situation and couldn't help but take a few steps back and coughing repeatedly. When he saw that Zhao Zhang had left far away and saw that there was no one around, he spit heavily on the ground and said with hatred, "What's great? It's just an abandoned prince. He can't keep his throne, and he's domineering in front of us."

Naturally, Zhao Zhang couldn't hear these words. At this moment, he was frowning on his horse's back, thinking while rushing on the road. This time, the master's father visited Yunzhong and Yanmen in the north and entrusted all the military and political power of Daijun and the neighboring areas to him, so that he could coordinate and prepare for the battle to be launched in the near future. Luanhe is on the only way to Zhongshan in the north. If it is dispatched by a large army, the pontoon bridge is definitely indispensable, so Zhao Zhang came to supervise it in person after hearing that the construction started slowly here.

Zhao Zhang led more than a hundred of his own soldiers all the way, and in an hour he rushed to Dai County, where the county seat of Dai County was located.

The head of the city guard saw the flag of the prince's seal from afar, and he knew that it was Zhao Zhang who came back from the city for inspection. He hurriedly opened the gate and led a group of his subordinates out of the city to greet him. Zhao Zhang did not stop at the city gate, but galloped through the city gate and rushed directly to the palace in the south of the city.

When he arrived at the palace, when Zhao Zhang got off the horse, his own soldiers reported that Zhao Yui, the prime minister, asked for urgent matters and had been waiting in the hall for a long time. Zhao Zhang was slightly uneasy when he heard this. You should know that his father entrusted everything here to him because he trusted him. If he messed it up, he would be really shameless.

Zhao Zhang hurried to the hall. Zhao Gu had already sat waiting in the hall. Seeing that Zhao Zhang arrived, he stood up and saluted politely and said, "See you, son."

Zhao Gu, as the prime minister, is in charge of the large and small military and political affairs of Dai County, which is very important in the officialdom of Zhao. Zhao Zhang is just a position to supervise the army. On the contrary, Zhao Gu is lower in terms of grade. Normally, Zhao Gu did not see him when he saw him. But Zhao Zhang has another prominent identity, that is, the eldest son of his father and the prince of the previous dynasty. If it hadn't been for the master's father's love, he absurdly agreed to Wu Wa's request to "abolish the long and young" before his death. I'm afraid that the owner of this huge Zhao Guojiangshan would be Zhao Zhang.

Therefore, Zhao Gu, who is also a clan, has some sympathy for his distant cousin, so he has always been very polite to him, and he also knows that although the master father has taken the throne of the eldest son, he still trusts him. You should know that "the son is not like a father" is a taboo for the successors of successive kings. Although the new king Zhao He is smart and his father loves him very much, it is more because he looks like his mother - the woman that the master father will never forget.

However, Zhao Zhang is different. He has been following his master since he was a child and has been trained as a crown prince for many years. At the age of 15, he led an army to make achievements in the battle against Zhongshan, so his behavior is very similar to that of the master's ears. In addition, he is tall and rough, and his appearance is almost the same as that of his father. He seems to be almost a young version of his father.

Before leaving Handan, the master father only let Zhao Zhang take charge of the position of superintendent of the army, and did not say who Zhao Zhang was the supervisor and Zhao Gu. Zhao Gu took a step back and gave Zhao Zhang the leading power, and everything was based on him.

Zhao Gu's courtesy also brought Zhao Zhang's good impression. Zhao Zhang was originally a straightforward person and did not have much city government and thoughts, so he was used to it. For example, Zhao Gu personally came to report the military situation to him.

"General is exempt from gifts." Zhao Zhang stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Gu and smiled, "You and I are a family and have cousins. Why do we care so much about these false gifts? It seems uncomfortable." Seeing that Zhao Gu's face was as usual and his tone was relaxed, as if there was nothing bad, he was relieved.

Zhao Gu laughed and was no longer polite. He looked at Zhao Zhang's dusty appearance and said, "I heard that the prince went to inspect the construction of the Luanhe pontoon bridge. Is everything going well?"

Zhao Zhang nodded and said, "It's not bad. Although it's a little delayed, it's generally unsatisfactory."

Zhao Gu heard the words and scolded: "These guys have always been lazy, and they all blame my generation for not being disciplined well. Well, if there are such lingers in the future, the prince can give it to me and let me teach these people.

Zhao Zhang smiled and didn't feel relieved. He went back to the point and said, "You are in such a hurry to find me, but what do you want?"

Zhao Gu nodded, escaped from a kit from his arms, and said, "This is an urgent matter sent by the master. I'm afraid of delaying important things, so I have been waiting for you in the palace."

Zhao Zhang took the kit and looked at the wax seal at the opening. After that, he opened it and took out the letter to have a look.

Zhao Gu saw that there was no change in Zhao Zhang's face and asked, "Son, what can I do for you?"

Zhao Zhang nodded, put down the letter and muttered, "My father will arrive in Dai County in six days. Let's prepare early and start preparing for Zhongshan."

Zhao Gu was slightly surprised and said, "Why is it so fast? Didn't you just subdue Lou Fan and Lin Hu? If we attack Zhongshan on a large-scale, it will inevitably cause emptiness in the north. If these two parts have different intentions, what should we do?

Zhao Zhang shook his head and said, "My father's behavior has always been unexpected, and how can we ministers guess? Since he did this, it naturally has his reason. Instead of thinking about guessing here, we might as well think about how to prepare. After all, the 200,000 army chewed, which is a huge amount of material.

Zhao Guyu said with a relaxed smile; "You can rest assured that Xiangbang had already transferred the materials hoarded in Handan to the north the day before yesterday, and all of them could reach Dai County in less than 20 days. The master rode first, so he came so fast. It will take a few days for the follow-up pawn to arrive, so there is enough time.

Zhao Zhang was relieved and said with a smile, "It's the best. It's so troublesome for you to have a substitute."
