I am not Song Qinzong

Of course, people who are already dead don't need to worry about it, interrogating more information is the most important thing.

Having already opened his mouth, Ye Gui really knew everything he wanted to say, and whenever Zhao Huan asked a question, he would rack his brains to answer.

One hundred and six windfalls

"Your Highness, the Jiankang Mansion dispatched two thousand soldiers and they have already arrived outside the town."

"Wait for the king to see."

With that said, Zhao Huan started to walk out.

On the night of Yufu's return, five hundred archers came from Danyang, and the next afternoon, five hundred soldiers from Yangzhou and Zhenzhou each arrived.

It was already the fourth day since the soldiers from Jiankang Mansion arrived.

Accompanying them were Yu Ren and Wang Lun.

When I arrived at the temporary military camp outside the town, I saw a group of soldiers in a mess, wandering around like free-range ducks.

The weapons are handy, but they are very rusty, the armor is only available to the first-class officers, and the soldiers are all civilians.

Such a team is actually no better than Fang La's teaching soldiers.

Disappointed, a civil servant came over with a few generals, and said: "Cao Wu, the soldier of Jiankang Mansion, Zhu Fan pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

A nameless person is worthless.

Looking at the appearance of the Jiankang soldiers, Zhao Huan felt even more disdainful.

With a flash of thought, Zhao Huan helped Zhu Fan up, and said with a smile, "I wish Bing Cao came to help in three days, it can be said to be very fast."

"Hearing that His Highness was attacked, everyone in Jiankang was very anxious, so I led the troops here day and night.

Seeing that His Highness was safe and sound at this time, the minister was much relieved. "Zhu Fan said.

Hearing his praise, Zhao Huan wanted to laugh.

From Jiankang Mansion to Lucheng Town, the road is two hundred miles by land, and the waterway is farther, more than three hundred miles.

If you really want to travel day and night, it doesn't take two days to get there by water, but it only takes two days by land.

However, Zhu Fan took an extra day.

Either the soldiers can't endure hardships, the journey takes more time, or the ordering of soldiers delays time.

No matter which aspect, it can be seen that the soldiers are dead.

This is still an attack on the crown prince, and upon hearing the news, troops must be sent to escort him. If Runzhou, Suzhou and other places were attacked and asked for help, without the responsibility to send troops, the soldiers of Jiankang Mansion might not be able to move within three to five months.

If you think about it carefully, it's actually not surprising.

First of all, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the Jiangnan area has never been affected by foreign aggressors. The officers and soldiers are enjoying comfort, and naturally their armaments are not complete.

Secondly, the imperial court values ​​culture over military affairs, and Jiangnan also has this concept, and those who are promising are naturally unwilling to join the army.

Moreover, Jiangnan has a developed economy, prosperous culture and education, and those who have the conditions to practice martial arts will naturally not afford to read books.

Being a Jinshi in the imperial examination is more promising than working hard on the battlefield.

Over time, the Jiangnan people no longer have martial arts, and their blood has dissipated.

In such an atmosphere, it is difficult to produce famous generals, and it is also difficult to produce elite soldiers.

No, it's not that hard, it's not at all.

In Zhao Huan's impression, during the more than 170 years of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were quite a few generals who could fight, and none of them came from a local in the south of the Yangtze River.

Not to mention embarrassing.

Sighing in his heart, Zhao Huan's smile remained unchanged, and he said to Zhu Fan: "Look at the generals behind you, all of them have extraordinary demeanor, can you introduce one or two for me?"

"It's a great honor." Zhu Fan smiled all over his face, pointed to the people behind him, and introduced, "This is Shi Yun, the inspector of Jiangmen of Jiankang Mansion."

"Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince." Shi Yun bowed.

Nobody!Zhao Huan stood up and gave a few words of encouragement.

He seemed amiable, but in fact he didn't see it. His gaze fell on the last two people vaguely.

One was holding an iron rod, a meteor hammer hanging from his waist, and a bow behind his back, and the other was holding a horse lance with a long knife hanging on his waist.

Among the few officers who only carried knives around their waists, they were particularly eye-catching.

Moreover, even though it was the [-]th of July at this time, the sun was quite venomous and hot at noon.

These two men's armors were tightly buttoned, and their helmets were also fastened firmly, which is completely different from other people's clothes, which are often unbuttoned.

It's not that I don't feel hot, it's just that I keep in mind my military status.

After patiently exchanging greetings with the crooked melon and split dates in front, they finally arrived at these two people.

"This is the head of the minister's personal guard. He was originally a veteran of the Yan'an Mansion. He resigned in anger because of his credit for being corrupted. He settled in Jiankang Mansion.

The minister saw that he was highly capable and proficient in strategy, so he was enlisted to serve in the army. "Zhu Fan's words were not without complacency, and he obviously admired Hu Cheng very much.

Zhao Huan was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show any abnormality. He smiled and said, "There is one more person, why don't you introduce them together."

"This is Luan Tingyu, the head of the army of the Jiankang Mansion, and the deputy chief, who has the courage of a man." Zhu Fan explained again: "He was invited by Hu Cheng, and no one in the Jiankang Mansion is invincible!"

Zhao Huan finally couldn't hold back anymore, and said: "It turns out that Teacher Zhou loves Luan Tingyu, and it's a predestined relationship."

Luan Tingyu bowed down and said: "I don't want my humble name to tarnish Your Highness's eyes and ears, and I am sincerely terrified."

Zhao Huan helped him up and said, "Does Master Luan know that Teacher Zhou has already taken office in the East Palace, but is it the East Palace who led the order?"

"I'm ignorant and ignorant, and I haven't heard from my mentor for a long time. I really don't know the current situation of my mentor." Luan Tingyu said.

In fact, it's not that I'm ignorant, but that Jiangnan is more than a thousand miles away from Kaifeng Mansion, so it's normal to have no news.

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "There is no need to gossip. Zhou Yunqing is currently rectifying the military affairs in the south of the town. You and Hu Cheng go to meet him first, and then it will not be too late to talk."

Luan Tingyu didn't agree immediately, but only turned his attention to Zhu Fan.

Seeing this, Zhao Huan was even more delighted.

Not arrogant or impetuous, keeping his duty firmly in mind, and having excellent skills, made the prince look up to him even more.

Even a blind man could see the crown prince's appreciation for the two.
