Zhao Yongheng was the brother of King Zhao, but the relationship was a little distant, and the specific seniority was unclear. But according to age, Zhao Yongheng is three years younger than Zhao Lin, so Zhao Lin is the elder brother and Zhao Yongheng is the younger brother.
In the apocalyptic era, combinations of brothers or sisters are already rare. After all, from a probabilistic perspective, the probability of a close relative becoming a new human being at the same time is very low. Therefore, as long as people have the same surname and the same clan, in the apocalyptic environment, sometimes they will become closer than real brothers. Zhao Yongheng is Zhao Lin's strongest supporter. The two have conquered the world since the beginning of the end of the world, and they can be said to be close friends of life and death.
Zhao Yongheng is now the army general of Zhao State, acting as commander. He is currently the city lord of Su City, but he also oversees many cities and counties near Su City. In other words, he can be regarded as a small governor.
"General Zhao Yongheng works hard at night and day, taking care of everything. Indeed, he rarely has the opportunity to teach me." Zhao Tai replied.
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot, that guy is very busy. Forget it, considering your situation, you can only get along slowly. After all, you are still young and will always make progress. You don't have to just hang around Zhao Yongheng , you can learn more from other generals."
"Yes, I will obey your Majesty's teachings."
"It's rare for you to come to the capital, so I'll teach you how to play this game." Zhao Lin is usually very strict with Zhao Tai, but in fact he treats him very highly, because Zhao Tai is Zhao Lin's nephew , the person with the closest blood relationship.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what kind of game of chess is it now?"
"Let's start with Yunding Mountain. Ao Lie has taken root in Yunding Mountain. Several large military bases have been built, but we don't know the specific ones and the specific situation. Every time our scouts disguise themselves as refugees It will disappear if you get close to Yunding Mountain, and the other party should have invested a lot of combat power in the detection system."
"Then why don't we send more powerful people to scout?"
"The strongest will have their own. If I send stronger people, they will also send stronger people. Generally speaking, our people can't compare with them, so why bother? And now our scouts They are all disguised as refugees to conduct reconnaissance. In other words, there is still a fig leaf covering the secret fight between us and Ao Lie. If we send powerful generals to conduct reconnaissance, it will be equivalent to tearing off this fig leaf. , the other side will also send stronger generals, which is equivalent to starting the war earlier."
"Then can we mobilize all the troops from across the country to take the initiative? Otherwise, when Ao Lie makes all preparations at Yunding Mountain, won't we just sit back and wait for death?"
"I'm a little surprised that you can think of this. You are right. If this battle is inevitable, then it is better to take a gamble and take the initiative before they are ready. However, we have two concerns, you Guess first, what are the two concerns?"
"Yes...yes..." Zhao Tai frowned, really not knowing what it was.
"Well, it's really hard for you to use your brain. There are two concerns. One is within the royal capital, and the other is the relationship between the six countries of Tianzhu. It has been almost half a year since Old Ao Lie returned to Western Sichuan Province. The revolution under his hands The army are all first-class lurkers. In the past six months, these revolutionary armies have probably already infiltrated into the six countries of Tianzhu. They are present in every country, but they should be the most numerous in our country."
"This is a huge hidden danger."
"That's right, so the number of guards in our royal capital cannot be too small. Once the number is small, those revolutionary troops may launch an incident and steal the royal capital."
"What does the relationship between the six countries of Zhu and Zhu mean?"
"Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, I have maintained good relations with the other five countries in Tianzhu. I am worried that one day, the real enemy will invade from the outside. However, the grievances between the six countries cannot be eliminated in a year and a half. Now , Ao Lie has already set his sights on Tianzhu, but has not really taken action yet. If I attack regardless of everything now, even if I win, our country will be riddled with holes. By then, what will the other five countries in Tianzhu do? "
"They will take advantage of people's danger to seize the foundation of our Zhao Kingdom."
"That's right. Unless we lose, and it's a disastrous defeat, then the other five countries will wake up and join forces to fight against Ao Lie. However, we are already half disabled, and we will eventually be the first country among the Six Tianzhu Kingdoms to perish. ." King Zhao sighed.
"It turns out that our country is facing such a big crisis, so why don't we feel this way on weekdays?"
"Because I can't speak out, I can't let the people know that our country is in danger. I'm just afraid. Even before this battle is fought, people are already panicking. But it's not like I haven't done anything. I've already asked Zhao Yongheng to prepare Get up, Su Cheng’s current military strength is enough to make Ao Lie wary.”
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, what do we have to fear?"
"This scruple cannot last for long. Ao Lie will eventually launch an invasion war. It is just a matter of time. In short, no matter what, we must adhere to two policies now. One is to maintain the relations between various countries, especially the Chu State. Once Ao Lie attacks, we may not encounter too many rejections when we ask for help. The other is to recruit all the forces that can fight Ao Lie, such as this Liu Ji."
"This Liu Ji only has about 10,000 people."
"The average quality of these ten thousand people is not low. They are all people who followed Liu Ji to the world. I remember that when Liu Ji first left Yanhuang, there were more than ten thousand people. Maybe someone defected later, or someone Sacrifice, in short, the remaining 10,000 people are the best. As long as they are given a little training, they will make great progress."
"Does the king mean to recruit them?"
"No, if these ten thousand people are willing to follow Liu Ji to the end of the world, they must only recognize Liu Ji as their master. So if you want to make good use of these ten thousand people, you must handle Liu Ji's relationship well."
"You mean to be nicer to Liu Ji?"
"That's about it. One advantage we have now is that no matter how good we are to Liu Ji, Liu Ji will never know that it has something to do with Jiang Feng. The only people she thanks are us."
"I understand, Your Majesty, I will definitely treat Liu Ji as a distinguished guest."
"No, don't be blind. Everything is too much and too little."
"Oh, my subordinates will pay attention."
"It seems that it is necessary for me to go to Su City in person and have a good talk with Liu Ji."
At six o'clock in the morning the next day, Zhao Tai returned to Sioux City first.
At this time, Liu Ji and her 10,000 people had been trapped in the buffer inner city all night.
After Zhao Tai arrived, he handed Zhao Yongheng a letter of order, which was to let Liu Ji and the others enter the city and treat them as guests.
After Zhao Yongheng read the order letter, he directly ordered his men to carry out the order without any hesitation or asking any more questions.
Zhao Tai asked: "City Lord, don't you ask why you did this?"
"Why ask?"
"You should be curious. If you are curious, you will definitely ask."
"You look very much looking forward to it. It seems that you have learned a lot from King Zhao. But it's a pity, I won't ask." Zhao Yongheng smiled.
"Why?"
"Because I know King Zhao will make such a decision."
"cut."
"What are you cutting?" Zhao Yongheng's expression suddenly became serious.
"What didn't cut?"
"Be careful what you say, don't be too big or too small."
"You heard wrong, I really didn't understand."
"I don't have time to teach you a lesson right now. I'm going to see Liu Ji first." Zhao Yongheng glanced at Zhao Tai unhappily.
After Zhao Yongheng left, Zhao Tai muttered something: "You are so arrogant and domineering. I am the closest relative of King Zhao, but you treat me like this."
Zhao Tai's assistant advised: "Brother Tai, don't argue with General Eternal, he has this kind of character."
"I want you to tell me, I don't know? I want you to tell me." Zhao Tai didn't know where the anger came from, so he kicked his assistant fiercely.
The assistant was kicked until his nose and eyes bled, and Zhao Tai gave up.
"Go and see a doctor yourself." Zhao Tai threw out several hundred-dollar bills and threw them to his assistant.
The assistant picked up the banknotes with an indifferent expression and left in disgrace. There wasn't much expression on his face, and he seemed to be accustomed to such things.
On the other side, Liu Ji's army was slowly entering the city.
Du Lei was very surprised: "What do you mean? Are they willing to let us into the city?"
Liu Ji said: "They probably thought about it all night, and finally decided to cooperate with us."
"You won the bet, it was really thrilling." Du Lei actually worried all night, as if his life and death depended on someone else's thoughts.
Sioux City is a large military city, so there are many military bases in it, some of which are idle. The city lord Zhao Yongheng assigned one of the military bases to Liu Ji and temporarily allowed her to settle there.
Liu Ji thanked Zhao Yongheng very much and bowed deeply to Zhao Yongheng.
Zhao Yongheng was a little flattered, and he replied sheepishly: "No need to thank me, just thank King Zhao. By the way, you guys should settle down first, take a bath, and have a good rest. King Zhao will probably come to Su at noon." Cheng, I’ll treat you to a meal when the time comes.”
"Thank you, thank you very much for your hospitality."
"You're welcome."
At noon, King Zhao arrived as scheduled. He invited Liu Ji, Du Lei and others to the most luxurious hotel in Suzhou and rewarded them well.
Everyone enjoyed the banquet and reached a preliminary agreement.
That is, King Zhao handed over one of the small towns attached to Su City to Liu Ji and asked her to take good care of the town. Any benefits developed from the small town belong to Liu Ji. But there is one condition, that is, once Ao Lie takes action, Liu Ji must help.
Liu Ji agreed to King Zhao on the spot and emphasized: "King Zhao has been kind to me, and I will definitely repay King Zhao well."
After the banquet, Liu Ji and Du Lei returned to the military base. Along the way, Du Lei was talking about the good things about King Zhao and the country of Zhao, and he was full of praise.
Liu Ji was actually very grateful to King Zhao for his generosity, but she always felt that something was strange. Although she had guessed that King Zhao would agree to cooperate, she did not expect that King Zhao would agree so freely and act so simply. A small town would be given to her as she promised. This kind of gift really surprised Liu Ji.
However, she was surprised, and Liu Ji's hesitant heart finally relaxed a little.
Since leaving Yanhuang, the wandering Liu Ji has no place to stay. He made a camp, but was often attacked by wild beasts. Along the way to the southwest, she encountered rejection and neglect from many forces, and even bandits in the mountains would bully Liu Ji. Although Liu Ji learned a lesson, she also lost some people. Some people died, and some people ran away secretly. Liu Ji secretly cried for countless nights. Fortunately, Du Lei still had about 10,000 people who followed Liu Ji without any complaints.
The hearts of these people are not so much filled with loyalty as they are filled with faith in Liu Ji.
Now, Liu Ji finally gave them a place to stay. Thinking of this, Liu Ji smiled happily, with tears in her smile.
Finally, I didn’t let these people down.
