On the second day after Zhao Shu received the order, he rushed towards Shou County with the tiger-winged young cavalry, and the follow-up army was led by Jiang Baishi and many generals to the south, and the logistics were arranged by Long Bo. This time, he was accompanied by Ning Gang, the head of the Zhengang Sect, and Bai Yuanrang, the master of the innate realm who he rescued from prison.

Although this Bai Yuanrang's hands and feet were abolished, he practiced the golden bell jar, and he practiced kung fu horizontally, and in the past few days, under the nourishment of the elixir, his hands and feet have slowly recovered, and he sat on the horse at this time, followed by Zhao Shu.

"Yuan Rang, how are your hands and feet?"

Walking on the road, Zhao Shu asked with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your great grace, with so much elixir nourishment, you have already recovered seven or eight points of strength, and it will not be long before you can fully recover. ”

Bai Yuanrang clenched his fists and arched his hands, his expression was full of gratitude, if it weren't for His Highness in front of him, he would have died unjustly in prison.

"Cultivate well, there are still many places where this king relies on you, as long as you are loyal to this king, you will have your own benefits!"

Zhao Shu didn't have anything to do in the face of Bai Yuanrang, and directly co-opted him, with his identity as a member of the Great Song Dynasty, he didn't need much calculation in the face of Bai Yuanrang.

"Dare not only serve His Highness. ”

Bai Yuanrang said respectfully, the Great Song Dynasty is precious, the status of the martial arts is already low, and it is a great honor in itself to be recognized by the royal family, and Bai Yuanrang, like all the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty, has been instilled with the Ming Xun of learning literature and martial arts, and sold to the emperor's family, in addition to these, Bai Yuanrang also wants to take revenge, and the only one who can help him is His Royal Highness King Wu in front of him.

Compared with Bai Yuanrang, Ning Gang, the head of the Zhengang Sect, is a lot more restrained, the Zhengang Sect is just an ordinary martial arts sect, and now it is on the line of King Wu, which is enough to make him proud, after all, no matter how powerful the martial arts sect is, he will not dare to go against the government, especially a small sect like himself.

"Ning Gang is in charge, I am not familiar with the things in the martial arts, this time I arrived in Shou County, and I relied on the master. ”

Zhao Shu smiled and said to Ning Gang in the distance, which made Ning Gang a little flattered, and immediately responded respectfully.

"Your Highness, why did you go to Shou County, it is already dilapidated, and the rebels are in the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, although Bingfeng points directly to the Jianghuai Road, but has not crossed the Yangtze River, and the Jiankang Mansion has not been lost, so it should go to the health garrison. ”

Zhang Junbao was a little puzzled and said, he didn't know anything about military affairs, but he also knew that Shouchun was ruined, and he was afraid that he would not be able to resist Mani's rebellion.

"Haha, Junbao's question is good, but Jiankang can't go, this Shouchun is our powerful place. This Jiankang Mansion is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, the most powerful imperial court, and it is also a place where the power of civil servants gathers.

In particular, Jiankang Mansion is the traditional power of the prince and the three kings, and it is the focus of contention, if I go there, I must be jealous of these two people, when the royal family is afraid of pulling, and there are Wenchen involved, I am afraid that there is nothing to do, and this Shouchun is different. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Shu showed a hint of joy and said: "Although this Shouchun is dilapidated, but the foundation is still there, I have many conveniences in stationing in it, first, the Southern Tang Dynasty has been operating for a long time, and with a little repair, it can also become a strong city, and second, this Shouchun is near Huaishui, which can be used by the Great Song Dynasty Navy to facilitate the transportation of grain and grass, and thirdly, it is not far from the fundamental place of Mani's rebellion, I can use this place to train soldiers, once the elite soldiers are accumulated, they can go south and suppress the rebellion with troops." Fourth, this Shouchun is close to Huainan and has a large amount of coal, which allows me to accumulate a lot of wealth and accumulate strength for military affairs. And the last point, this place is dilapidated, and the power of the civilian officials is very weak, so I can build at will. ”

After leaving Bianliang, Zhao Shu was in a good mood, so he analyzed the situation with Zhang Junbao, in fact, this Manichaean rebellion is a rabble, as long as he leads the elite soldiers south, he can instantly defeat the main force of Fang La with a rapid momentum, and then he can slowly cleanse the other rebels.

It's just that Zhao Shu wants to take advantage of this opportunity to train his Qilin army, the most important thing is that the soldiers in his hands are all new soldiers, although they are brave, but they are not elite soldiers, especially these two places of Zhejiang and Jingzhejiang are rich and fruitful, and they are the places where the prince and those three compete for each other, and they each win over the gentry and officials here, and the forces can be described as intertwined.

At present, only the dilapidated Shouchun can let himself play at will. Moreover, he is now serving as the Jianghuai Jingzhejiang Recruitment and Control Envoy, nominally controlling the Jiangnan Silu Prefecture and can dispose of the official eunuchs of the Four Roads, but Zhao Shu also understands that the officials still don't trust him, and only let himself serve as the envoy of the Recruiting and Controlling Systems, which is obviously to control the military and not involve local government affairs.

After all, the Mani rebellion was on the roads of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the momentum was approaching the north, and it was in line with the steward's intention to run the land of Shouchun Huainan by himself.

"Your Highness, this wild boar forest is deep in trees, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the terrain is extremely treacherous, so you should be careful. ”

Zhang Junbao looked at the surrounding environment and suddenly reminded him.

"Groan!"

At this moment, the dragon beast that followed Zhao Shu suddenly let out a roar, startling Zhao Shu, this dragon beast is now the size of a horse, exuding a fierce aura, if it is not the horse under his seat is a long-trained war horse, I am afraid that it has been scared to death.

But now, the dragon beast roared, and the horses of the tiger-winged cavalry suddenly let out a roar, if it weren't for the thirty young men's skilled equestrianism, I was afraid that they would all fall off their horses.

"Zhao Hu, there is an ambush ahead, use a repeater!"

Zhao Shu's face changed, and he immediately spoke, this dragon beast sensed that there was a murderous aura in front of him, and issued a warning, which made him have to be vigilant, this time he left in a hurry, only bringing the thirty-six young cavalry of the Tiger Wing Army, if there is any ambush, he really has to be vigilant.

"Crossbow!

When Zhao Hu heard Zhao Shu's words, his face changed, he was in charge of guarding this time, but he didn't expect that someone was ambushing and didn't know it, so he was immediately furious, pulled out the flying locust crossbow hanging on the horse, and shouted at the front.

These repeater crossbows have been improved to shoot hundreds of paces away, and they are powerful, but they are improved from the hard crossbows in the army, and they can instantly shoot out one after another steel armor-piercing cones indiscriminately.

"Ahh

In the distance, there were bursts of screams of pain from the grass, and dozens of bandits wearing leather armor and holding stiff bows, knives and guns ran out of the grass, murderous.

"Some of these bandits are in the physical realm, not ordinary bandits. Your Highness, be careful!"

Zhang Junbao looked at the bandits who had been killed, and immediately reminded.

"Hmph, some of these people are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and some of them are the people of the Khitan, it seems that I am still too merciful, so that some people mistakenly think that they are weak and can be bullied. ”

Zhao Shu's eyes are extremely sharp, the hard bows held by these people are obviously standard weapons in the army, although those bandits in the physical realm are dressed as Song people, but their style of behavior and martial arts are the same as the Khitan people they fought before, you don't need to think about it to know that these Khitan envoys must have colluded with the Great Song magnates to murder themselves.

Thinking of this, the chill in Zhao Shu's eyes turned into a thick killing intent, and he pulled up the divine arm bow that was hanging on the horse, took the bow and arrow, and with a whoosh, pierced through the brain of a Khitan who pounced on him.

This divine arm bow is a very powerful bow and crossbow, only a martial artist of the true qi realm can pull it up, it is a special divine bow for generals in the army, and it is a forbidden weapon.

Zhao Shu pulled the Divine Arm Bow again and again, and in a moment, he shot three or four masters of the Flesh Body Realm, if he fought alone, Zhao Shu could not kill these people so quickly, but in the era of cold weapons, the bow and crossbow were the sharp weapons among the sharp weapons.

"Roar!"

Two huge roars suddenly sounded in the jungle, and before everyone could react, three huge white-fronted tigers jumped out, exuding bloodthirsty aura, and the tigers roared and pounced on the three tiger-winged boys.

"Whoosh!"

Zhao Shu reacted very quickly and took out his bow and arrows, but the arrows flew out but were avoided by the tiger. The three-headed tiger abandoned the teenagers and pounced on Zhao Shu.

"Your Highness, be careful, this is a master of the possession realm possessed by a fierce tiger. ”

Zhang Junbao's face was shocked, and he immediately reminded him. In this kind of reminder, Bai Yuanrang and Ning Gang had already jumped off their horses and blocked in front of Zhao Shu, looking coldly at the three-headed tiger in front of them, and cold air was in their hearts.

The powerhouse of the possession realm, this is already an immortal, he is no longer afraid of martial artists, and he can easily kill ordinary martial artists.

"Bold demons, dare to snipe the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, not afraid of being skinned and cramped, nailed to the soul and refined. ”

Looking at the three-headed tiger that was getting closer and closer, Ning Gang roared angrily.

"Haha, Song Dog, the deity will swallow you today. ”

The three tigers let out a laugh together, revealing that the three tigers were accused by one person.

"Go ahead!"

Zhao Shu looked at the three tigers coldly, and said to the dragon beast that was suppressed by himself on the side, the dragon beast that had been provoked and angry by the three tigers suddenly let out a huge dragon groan, and ran towards the three tigers violently.
