Eat hot pot, sing songs, and drink wine with great strides!
A few days after New Year's Eve, the entire Yunzhou City fell silent. It was not until the third day that people started going out to visit relatives and friends to congratulate them on the New Year.
Zhao Jun didn't have many relatives here, and no one worthy of visiting him for New Year greetings, so he stayed in the palace all day eating hot pot.
But this hot pot is also unsettling. From time to time, people come to pay New Year greetings and add a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
And then more, and more!
As a result, we had a great hot pot meal, and dozens of people came.
You see, everyone is here, and everyone is rushing to have their meal. Zhao Jun is too embarrassed not to invite people to dinner, so he has no choice but to ask his servants to take everyone to the living room, and set up more than a dozen tables for everyone to eat together. hot pot.
The living room of the royal palace has been transformed into a hot pot restaurant. There are sounds of changing cups and cups everywhere. It is very lively!
That’s outrageous!
The celebration left a mess of cups and plates on the ground, and all the people left.
Before leaving, Li Yi, Ding Hongguang and others came to wish him New Year's greetings while holding their round bellies, and took away a big red envelope of one hundred taels from his hand. Zhao Jun was so angry that his teeth were itching!
In this way, the Spring Festival passed quickly. The days were dull and life became calmer, which made Zhao Jun a little uncomfortable.
Just two days ago, he received supplies from Bianjing, which was twice as much as in previous years. It is said that his cheap man gave it to him from his own money.
This surprised Zhao Jun. The old man actually felt sorry for him?
What surprised Zhao Jun even more was that the 10,000 taels in it were actually given to him by the prince.
Looking at the 10,000 taels of silver notes in his hand, Zhao Jun felt mixed emotions.
In the end, I can only silently wish that the prince brother can successfully ascend to that position. Based on the relationship between the two brothers and my understanding of him, at least if he ascends to that position, he can live a more comfortable life in the future.
After ordering Wang Huai'en to inventory all these supplies, Zhao Jun turned his attention to business.
Winter is about to pass, and a simple passage on the Yunling Mountains has gradually taken shape. It's time to arrange a team to explore the path first!
Thinking of this, Zhao Jun tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and then ordered Wang Huaien: "Wang Banban!"
"Your Majesty!"
Wang Huaien responded quickly.
"Go and find Ding Hongguang for me!"
"yes!"
Not long after, Ding Hongguang was brought over confused.
Although he didn't understand why Prince Yun was looking for him, he still bowed respectfully.
"The last general, Ding Hongguang, has met the prince!"
"Excuse me, has Zhengyang visited the Yunling Mountains recently?"
Ding Hongguang was stunned, but he still answered honestly: "In recent days, I have been reorganizing military affairs and re-ranking the armies based on the last battle, so I didn't pay too much attention to the Yunling Mountains."
Speaking of this, Ding Hongguang suddenly had an idea and asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, could it be that the road over the Yunling Mountains has been opened?"
Zhao Jun shook his head and said: "That's not true. Road construction is difficult in winter, and the road is not opened so quickly.
But it’s coming soon. According to the current situation, it is estimated that the road can be opened within our scheduled time.
The king calls you here this time because he wants you to form a vanguard to explore the way for the army. "
"Vanguard?"
Ding Hongguang repeated the name in confusion.
Zhao Jun nodded and explained: "I hope you can pick some good players in the army, and together with the secret guards sent by me, go there to explore the road first after it is opened, take a look at the general situation there, and collect some information. intelligence.
In this way, our army can make targeted arrangements based on intelligence.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. This is the truth. "
Ding Hongguang suddenly understood, and then said: "General, I understand, but I don't know how many people the prince needs?"
Zhao Jun pondered for a while and then said: "The target is too big if there are too many people, and it is not good if there are few people. It is not very safe.
Let's do this, you take 500 people, divide them into fifty teams, and disperse them to collect information. When the time comes, you can summarize the information and you should be able to get a general situation. "
"My subordinate understands!"
Ding Hongguang handed over his hand.
The two immediately chatted about some problems that occurred in the army. After Zhao Jun gave some suggestions of his own, he asked Ding Hongguang to go back and start beating people.
After Ding Hongguang left, Zhao Jun asked in the darkness next to him:
"Can the secret guards pull out fifty people now? You heard what I said just now. They want to take the team to explore the road together, so they may not be completely invisible in the future."
A figure slowly emerged, and the person's tone was as cold as ever, like ice without a trace of emotion.
"have."
The visitor's words were very brief, just one word, but Zhao Jun breathed a sigh of relief, that's fine, waved his hand, and the visitor hid in the darkness again.
Wang Huaien on the side kept secretly looking at the darkness. Although he had seen this scene many times, Wang Huaien could not figure out where they came from and how they hid in.
Zhao Jun noticed his little move and said in a funny voice: "Don't look at it. This is his ability to eat. If you could have noticed it by looking a few more times, how can he still rely on this to eat?"
Seeing that his little move was discovered, Wang Huaien immediately scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Hey, your maidservant is just a little curious."
Zhao Jun shook his head, ignored him, and thought quietly.
…
Here, Ding Hongguang hurried back to the military camp after leaving the palace. After returning to the camp, he called Guan Ning and told him the prince's arrangement just now.
After hearing this, Guan Ning suggested: "Old Ding, I think that in addition to selecting people who are strong enough to explore the path this time, the most important thing is to have a flexible mind so that they can better complete the task of collecting intelligence. "
Ding Hongguang nodded in agreement, and then said: "In that case, let's spread the news to all levels, and select 500 people from the entire army to form a vanguard, waiting for the prince's arrangements."
With the decision made, the two people quickly took action. First, the commanders of each army were called over and told the situation. The commanders of each army immediately expressed their understanding and immediately made selections among the entire army as soon as they returned.
In just three days, 500 elite soldiers were selected. Not only were these people fighting masters in the military, they were also quite flexible in their minds and were not stubborn people.
As soon as the selection of people here was completed, news suddenly came from the gate of the camp, saying that a group of people came with the prince's token.
Ding Hongguang was immediately curious after hearing this, so he went to the camp gate to check it out in person.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the camp, I saw fifty men in black and cold faces standing quietly at the gate of the camp. Although there were fifty people, the scene was very quiet. Everyone stood quietly without making a sound. No sound at all.
After confirming the token, Ding Hongguang handed it back to the leading man in black and asked doubtfully: "Are you here this time?"
"According to the order of the prince, we will conduct a preliminary familiarization with the vanguards led by each."
As soon as he said this, Ding Hongguang immediately understood. It turned out that these individuals were actually the secret guards sent by the prince!
