On the seventh day of August, Zhao Hongrun inspected the military camps of the Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army stationed in the area of Langgang in the west of Daliang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wolf Gang, as the name suggests, is a hilly area where the wolf plague is quite serious, Zhao Hongrun ordered 30,000 merchant troops and 30,000 Yanling troops to be stationed here a few days ago, waiting for the replacement of equipment, but also with the intention of letting the soldiers of these two armies solve the local wolf disaster situation by the way.

After all, Wei is a country with a severe wolf disaster, and natural and man-made disasters are not as threatening as wolf disasters, especially in the autumn and winter of each year, the wolf disasters are becoming more and more serious, and I don't know how many people are hunted and eaten by these animals.

It may be that for ordinary people, wolves are terrible, but for the army, dealing with the local wolves is just a kind of entertainment.

said that he was inspecting the barracks of Langgang, but in fact, Zhao Hongrun just wanted to see if the soldiers of the two armies, the Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army, were satisfied with the new weapons and armor created for them by the Smelting Bureau, after all, no matter how good the weapons and equipment were, they had to cater to the habits of the front-line soldiers, which was the criterion for the Smelting Bureau to design military equipment.

Because it is a sample, the Smelting Bureau did not build too much, and only one hundred sets of armor were built for soldiers, as well as a total of thirty sets of armor of generals of different ranks, and some more conventional spears, machetes, iron shields, long swords, short swords, bows and crossbows, etc., but there were slight improvements in design.

Because Zhao Hongrun accompanied him, the transport convoy of the Smelting Bureau was personally led by Director Wang Fu, although Wang Fu kept saying that it was to better explain the advantages and disadvantages of the new weapons and equipment to the soldiers of the Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army, but I believe that everyone present could see his true purpose.

In addition, this time with Zhao Hongrun, there is also a guest with a special identity, that is, Zhao Sheng, the monarch of the Emperor.

For Zhao Sheng, Zhao Hongrun was really a little surprised.

He felt that Zhao Sheng, the prince of the Emperor, seemed to be born with a very special personality charm, simply put, he was very affinity, self-familiar, as if he could get along with anyone, elegant, funny, and the image of a noble son made it difficult for people to be disgusted by this person.

It's just that this noble son is already over thirty years old, and his two sons can read and write.

Therefore, when he heard Zhao Sheng, the monarch of the Xuan, say that he accompanied the sixth prince Zhao Yuanyan to the mansion banquet of the gentry in Daliang City in the past two days, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but want to make a joke about him.

"Follow my sixth uncle? Hey, then your reputation is over. Zhao Hongrun joked with a smile.

However, Zhao Sheng, the monarch of the Emperor, did not understand the ridicule in Zhao Hongrun's words, and asked with a puzzled face: "Does Lord Yi have a bad reputation in Daliang?" No......"

Behind Zhao Hongrun, the Zongwei secretly laughed.

The sixth prince, Zhao Yuanyan, is a well-known gentleman and prodigal son in the whole country, playing flowers and reading countless women, from a certain point of view, his reputation is really not much better.

Glancing at Zhao Sheng, who looked puzzled, Zhao Hongrun smiled and said nothing.

Of course, he understands the reason why Zhao Sheng, the sixth prince, has followed the sixth prince Zhao Yuanyan to visit the gentry of the Liang clan these days, it is nothing more than a familiar face, if nothing goes wrong, in the future, Zhao Sheng will most likely settle in Daliang as a mediator between the Zhao family and the Wei family.

"In other words, have the daughters of those clans ever been saddened because Lord Zhao Sheng is already married?"

"Your Royal Highness King Su, you ...... this," Zhao Sheng was a little embarrassed.

Not to mention, Zhao Sheng, the monarch who has passed the year of establishment, is handsome and graceful, and now he holds important positions in the sect and the Ministry of Rites, as if he will become the favorite object of the family's daughters.

After coming to the barracks of Wolf Gang, Qu Cheng and Wu Ji personally brought people to greet them.

After greeting each other, Qu Cheng and Wu Ji respectively called some non-commissioned officers in their respective armies to replace the new weapons and equipment created by the Smelting Bureau.

In fact, it is the same for the soldiers of any army to come for trial, because the positioning of the two armies of the Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army is the same, and they are both very comprehensive garrison troops, unlike the Fencheng Army, which focuses on defense, and the Dangshan Army, which focuses on attack.

It's just that in the eyes of many people in the past, Shang Shuijun was the son of King Su, and Yan Lingjun was his godson, and this time, the treatment of his own son and his godson was the same.

But no matter what, Qu Cheng and Wu Ji still asked their soldiers to try out the weapons and equipment created by the Smelting Bureau.

During this period, Wang Fu, the director of the Smelting Bureau, explained the advantages and disadvantages of the new equipment to Qu Cheng and Wu Ji, but unfortunately this was a piano for the cow, anyway, he said a lot, Qu Cheng and Wu Ji knew that the new shield and armor were stronger, and the new weapons were sharper, and that's it.

When the soldiers tried new weapons and equipment, the scribes of the Smelting Bureau recorded the opinions of some soldiers, for example, Ran Teng, the thousand-man general of the Shang Shui Army, wanted to install a sword holster on the back of the shield, so that the sword and shield hand could insert the short sword there.

Because on the battlefield, once the sword and shield hand loses the main weapon in his right hand, their first reaction is to hold the shield in both hands, so that it is faster to draw the spare short sword from the back of the iron shield than from the back of the waist.

The thousands of generals on the Yan Ling army's side hoped to leave a groove about the size of a gun above the shield, so that the soldiers could put their spears on the shield more easily and effortlessly when they raised their shields.

The clerks of the Smelting Bureau recorded the requests or suggestions of these front-line soldiers, and changed the design again after returning to the Smelting Bureau.

Because with the increase of the Wei army, the equipment elimination method that was replaced every two years in the past was about to be banned by the imperial court and changed to a five-year change, so Zhao Hongrun was more strict with the Smelting Bureau in the design and construction of military weapons and equipment. After all, on the battlefield, excellent weapons and equipment can make a Wei soldier live longer.

About two hours later, Zhao Hongrun took Zhao Sheng, who had visited the military camp, to prepare to go back to Daliang, before leaving, he invited the generals of the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army to have time to drink in his Suwang Mansion in the future, after all, if nothing goes wrong, the 60,000 troops will not be able to change their equipment until next year.

In this regard, Qu Cheng and Wu Ji agreed repeatedly, and said that after arranging the army's training tasks, they would form a team to go to the Su Wangfu to disturb them.

And just when Zhao Hongrun returned to Daliang, outside the west gate of Daliang, he saw a convoy of several carriages, which seemed to have an argument with some guards.

Zhao Hongrun frowned, drove his mount over, and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop!" …… What's going on? ”

The guards under the city were startled, and when they looked back at Zhao Hongrun's appearance and attire, they understood that this was a big man even if they didn't recognize it, so a captain of the guards came forward and hugged his fists and explained: "This son is like this." …… These people claimed to be merchants, but they could not come up with any evidence to guide them, and they asked them where they came from. Therefore, the lowly wanted to search the carriage, but these people stopped and did not allow the search......"

Zhao Hongrun's face turned a little pale when he heard this, he originally thought that the guards were deliberately embarrassing others.

Nodding, he turned his head to look at the strong men who were guarding the carriage.

Although those strong men are all dressed as civilians, they are all tall and burly, and Zhao Hongrun doesn't look like ordinary people no matter how they look at them.

What's more, there are more than a dozen good-looking horses in this team, you must know that in Sanchuan, high-quality horses have long been listed as controlled products, and it is impossible for the Sichuan Alliance to sell high-quality horses to merchants, because they have to give priority to the Wei State and the cavalry of their own tribe.

Therefore, these people are indeed questionable.

"Who are you?" Zhao Hongrun asked.

The dozen or so strong men glanced at each other, and then, one of them stood up and said without humility or arrogance: "We are waiting for a caravan coming to and from Sanchuan. ”

Zhao Hongrun glanced at this strong man a few times, and vaguely felt that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

I have to say that this is really a very rare thing for him with a super memory.

"Where's the cargo?" He asked.

"Sold, not acquired."

Zhao Hongrun narrowed his eyes when he heard this: As a caravan, if you go to Sanchuan and don't buy sheepskins, wool and other things, who are you bluffing?

"Guards, take them down!" He shouted in a deep voice.

When the nearby guards heard this, although they didn't know Zhao Hongrun's specific identity, they also surrounded him.

Hearing this, Wei Jiao and other sect guards also took out their military-made crossbows from their horses' bags.

And at this moment, a soft shout came from the carriage at the front of the convoy: "Stop." ”

As soon as the words fell, a young man of the same age as Zhao Hongrun stepped out of the carriage, with a bit of sarcasm, and said lightly: "This is the hospitality of the Wei State? It's really disappointing. ”

Zhao Hongrun frowned, turned his head to look at the young man, and sneered: "Hey, saying these words is enough to prove that you and the others are definitely not businessmen." ”

"......" The young man looked up at Zhao Hongrun, who was sitting on a horse.

Four-eye handover.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Zhao Hongrun looked at the man with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and the young man also had a little surprise on his face.

"Is that you?" They both said in unison.

Seeing this, whether it was those strong men with strong martial arts, or the guards on Zhao Hongrun's side, they all showed surprised expressions.

"Your Highness, do you recognize this person?" Wei Jiao asked in surprise.

Zhao Hongrun looked at the young man with interest when he heard this, and nodded slowly.

Immediately, he asked the young man, "What are you doing in my Great Wei?" As a ...... Qin people. ”

"Qin people?!"

The nearby guards were taken aback when they heard this, and they raised their weapons again, looking at the people in the convoy with wary and hostile eyes, after all, after the defection of the Wei clan in Longxi to the Wei State, the word Qin gradually became the talk of the people of Daliang after dinner.

Of course, as an enemy of the other side.

"Stop!" Zhao Hongrun stopped the guards, but the guards had no intention of putting down their weapons.

Seeing this, Wei Jiao shouted: "Your Royal Highness King Su's order, do you dare to obey?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Su?" The guards looked at each other before hurriedly lowering their weapons.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun looked at the young man and said with a smile: "It's been a long time." ”

Indeed, this teenager was chatting with Zhao Hongrun for almost a night at the Chenggao hunting party two years ago.
