After reading the document in his hand, Shi Hu said to Shi Sheng next to him: "What does Zhao Baian mean?"

Zhao Bai'an sent a letter to Shi Hu, asking him to retreat to Duanzhou, only 10,000 soldiers, and the remaining 10,000 soldiers took a detour to Chenzhou to fight together. Of course, this was not an order. Zhao Bai'an hoped that Shi Hu would do this in a negotiation tone. In this battle of Lingnan, Zhao Xun gave Zhao Bai the right to safety. He could mobilize the military and political affairs of Jiangnan and Lingnan at will. Qianzhou where Shi Hu was located was a military governor. Unless the court issued a clear edict, Zhao Bai'an had no right and no right to issue an order to Shi Hu. The edict issued by Zhao Xun did not mention Qianzhou and Shi Hu, so Shi Hu was not under the jurisdiction of Zhao Bai'an.

Shi Sheng had read this document again. When Shi Hu's inquiry, he smiled and said, "Enzhou's geographical location is important. We are here, and Zhao Bai'an can't sleep or eat. He asked us to retreat to Duanzhou, obviously trying to take Enzhou into his own hands. Of course, this is also a test of us."

Shi Hu laughed and said, "It seems that Zhao Baian is planning to gather all his strength to attack Chenzhou."

"What my brother said is very true."

Shi Sheng nodded again and said, "Our troops have decreased, so Zhao Baian dared to let go. He asked his brother to lead 10,000 soldiers to Chenzhou. Only under his nose can he feel at ease."

Shi Hu sneered: "What qualifications do Zhao Baian have to command me? I am in Enzhou and don't go anywhere. Let's see what he can do."

Shi Sheng said softly again: "Isn't this too unpretentious to Zhao Baian? It's good to behave like a good person."

Shi Hu frowned and said, "You literati like to do this. It's really hypocritical. What is Zhao Baian's mind? Don't I know? Whether it's the court or Zhao Baian, I want to kill me immediately, but I just didn't say it out loud. I'm just giving him a lot of face?"

Shi Sheng was still trying to persuade him, but Shi Hu waved his hand and said impatiently: "Don't say it, I'm in Enzhou and don't go anywhere. Write a letter to Zhao Bai'an and find an excuse."

Shi Sheng smiled bitterly again, knowing that it would be useless to say anything else, so he could only nod and respond.

The atmosphere in Chenzhou was tense. Cao Shi was actively preparing for the war and made all preparations. He was waiting for Zhao Baian to come. However, after Zhao Baian led the army to Chenzhou, he was garrisoned. For three days, he spent building city walls there, stocking up food and grass, and dispatching Huang Hui and Kou Xiong to lead the army to separate the troops to guard the Longzhou and Fengzhou.

Zhao Baian's actions immediately made Shi Hu and Cao Shi relax their vigilance. Cao Shi thought that Shi Hu gathered heavy troops in Enzhou. Zhao Baian was afraid and dared not advance easily. Even if he came, he could not do his best. The threat to him was greatly reduced. The situation was much better than expected. As for Shi Hu, he was even less worried. Anyway, he had not turned against the court and had no relationship with Zhao Baian on the surface. He stationed troops in Enzhou with a legitimate excuse. What can Zhao Baian do to him do to him?

Marshal!

Marshal!

Zhao Baian walked in the military camp. When the soldiers saw him, they stood up and called him "Master".

This is Zhao Qiankun's military camp. The eight thousand soldiers he commanded were Zhao Baian's former old troops.

After Zhao Baian was transferred back to Fengjing, many of his generals were dispersed and transferred to other places. However, like Li Zhong, his son was left in the place, and Zhao Qiankun was appointed as the governor of Hongzhou and led 8,000 soldiers.

Zhao Baian had a smile on his face, nodded from time to time, responding to their shouts, and occasionally stopped to have a brief chat with the soldiers.

"Everyone is very energetic!"

Zhao Baian said with a smile.

Zhao Qiankun said: "I have eaten big fish and big meat for three days. Everyone is content. Now I only want to fight."

Zhao Baian led the army to fight, and had a habit of letting the soldiers of the three armies eat a meal before the war. Now for three days, every meal is enough for wine and meat. They eat as much as they want. They are Zhao Baian's old subordinates, so they know that this is a sign that the war is coming, and everyone is ready to fight to the death.

Zhao Baian nodded and said with satisfaction: "It's still easier to use for veterans!"

Zhao Qiankun glanced around and whispered: "Master..."

Zhao Baian patted his son on the shoulder and smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here, so don't be so polite."

Zhao Qiankun nodded and changed his words and said, "Father, this time, there are only 8,000 soldiers in my raid. Is the force a little less?"

Zhao Baian said: "Don't worry, Kou Xiong still has the courage and courage. He has selected 7,000 elite troops from his headquarters and led the battle himself. The total number of your two armies is 15,000, which is enough."

Although Huang Hui and Sima Zhong agreed to Zhao Baian's raid plan, there were some differences in the number of troops sent. Zhao Baian's intention was that he personally led an army of 30,000 and rushed straight to Enzhou. This intention was opposed by Huang Hui and Sima Zhong. You are the head coach, how can you take the lead in charging into battle? Once there is a mistake, the soldiers of the three armies will be completely brave and everything is over. Since it is a raid, there is no need for so many people, and the 30,000 people are too big, so it is easy to be discovered.

Zhao Baian is not a tyrannical person, and Huang Hui and Sima Zhong are both qualified. Zhao Baian has to treat their opinions carefully.

"If this is the case, the child will be sure."

Zhao Qiankun breathed a sigh of relief. He was not timid or scrupulous. In fact, Zhao Qiankun was a powerful general, brave and decisive in fighting. When Zhao Baian was the governor, he was extremely strict with his son in order to demonstrate selflessness. Whenever he fought, Zhao Qiankun often took the lead as a vanguard. Moreover, his military orders were stricter than ordinary people. If he lost, he would be killed, and if he won, he would be reduced to half of his merits. He was conquered by the public. Because of this, Zhao Qiankun joined the army for nearly twenty years, and had dozens of battles of all sizes and big battles, and made countless contributions. He was just a sub-general. He was suppressed by Zhao Baian. Until Zhao Baian was transferred back to Fengjing, Zhao Qiankun began to be independent and was appointed as the governor of Hongzhou and became the chief general of the military of a state.

Zhao Qiankun didn't think that his troops were small. If Zhao Baian ordered, even if he was asked to go alone, he would rush over without hesitation. He was afraid that his troops would not be enough, so he would defeat him and lose his father's person. Zhao Qiankun knew his father very well and had great face. During the past few years of neglect, his father had been depressed and was now activated again. He must have breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If he messed up this good start, his father would lose his face.

Zhao Baian seemed to see through his son's psychology, raised his hand and touched Zhao Qiankun's head, and said in a low voice: "Don't have any psychological burden. What should you do? Make your own ideas and say what you have. When you come back."

Zhao Qiankun nodded silently.
