Chapter 220
Zhao Bing had a good luck today and caught a few fish without any effort.? �
?b?i q?u? Seeing that there were fishes on the hook, but others were weak and unable to pull them away. Instead, they were pulled by the fish and almost fell off the boat. They had to abandon the pole. Zheng Yong volunteered to pick up a harpoon and wanted to go into the water to chase him. He waved his hand to stop him and let the big fish drag the fish rod away. However, this made him feel restless and ordered the boat to dock.
Wang De knew that His Highness was unwilling to go back as soon as he came out, so he had already ordered people to set up several pergolas under the shade of trees on the shore, lay felt pads, put them on a few long positions, and lit artemisia weeds around to drive away mosquitoes. On the other side, he had already ordered a charcoal stove to boil water and make tea. As soon as the prince got ashore, he ordered the chef to scrape the scales of the fish caught by His Highness and put them in the pot to cook.
Of course, the fish caught by Zhao Bing are not enough for so many people to eat. Fortunately, everyone did not expect him. The guards who were good at fishing and catching turtles, and shot some small beasts in the surrounding forests. The chefs also knew the temper of His Highness. They did not like to watch the plates in a fancy way, nor did they emphasize complexity and elaboration. As long as they were simple and affordable, they tasted better and better. Therefore, cooking was mainly steaming and barbecue. If it was not big, the camp was filled with the mellow aroma of barbecue.
"Your Highness, a fish ran away, why bother with it!" Wang De was a delicate and sensible person. He had learned everything on the lake from the guards. Seeing that he was still depressed after washing up, he smiled and explained.
"What do you know!" Zhao Bing glanced at him and threw the towel into the basin and said in a muffled voice.
"Your Highness, you are so ignorant." Wang De quickly smiled, and he turned around and walked towards the forest. He hurriedly stopped, "Your Highness is there..."
"I'm not blind, I can see it!" Zhao Bing glared at him, and saw Wang De following him and said unhappyly, "I'll go pee, what are you doing after you follow me?"
"..." Wang De was defeated and wondered, His Highness was not such a stingy person, and he would not be so arrogant for a fish. Could it be that he was angry with someone again? He saw that the guards around him were all confused, and obviously he couldn't ask anything.
"Supervisor Fu, will Your Highness always get angry about some trivial matters?" Han Zhen poured tea for Ying Jieyan and asked carefully, but there was an indescribable depression in his heart. As the saying goes, "Soldiers are major issues of the country." Now, it is inevitable that he will be heartbroken to hand over the lives of these tens of thousands of soldiers and the fate of Qiongzhou to the hands of a moody child.
"Haha, do you think Your Highness will be angry about a fish that was running away? He is just feeling." Ying Jieyan shook his head and smiled.
"I feel that?! Is Your Highness happy that the fish's escape has not become a Chinese food, or is it sad that the fish will inevitably be tempted by bait?" Xu Cong also interrupted. He was also curious about His Highness, who was full of legends.
"Your Highness is sympathetic to the heavens and people, but you will not worry about a fish. You are too slouching your highness's mind." Ying Jieyan stroked his white beard and said, "Your Highness is wise and has great ambitions. He is determined to save the country from danger, and the people are in danger. But he is a child in the end, and he is inevitably powerful and incompetent. Now the thief chief Kublai Khan ordered Jinghu and Jiangxi to go south in large numbers. The court has suffered repeated failures and evacuation from Guangdong again. Qiongzhou is afraid that war will inevitably occur. Your Highness is responsible for managing Qiongzhou and fighting against the Tatars with a corner of the country. Just as Your Highness just fought against the big fish in the lake with a child, and once he missed, he would have nothing to gain!"
"So that's it!" Han Zhen nodded and said thoughtfully.
"Yes, Qiongzhou is located overseas, with a narrow area and sparse people, poor resources, and complex people's conditions. Officials of all dynasties avoided it. His Highness wants to reorganize the army and prepare for military affairs, raise food and fodder to fight the Tartars, and take into account people's livelihood and cannot collect too much. It is indeed a dilemma!" Xu Cong sighed and said in a deep voice.
"The commander, the position of the humble position is unknown. Since Your Highness also knows Wan'an, Jiyang's two armies are narrow and the people are stranded, and it is difficult to raise supplies. Why not place the right armies in Qiongzhou nearby? Although there is quite a lot of difficulties there, it is still better than the two places, and there is no need to transfer materials to the two armies, and it can save the burden of boats and chariots!" Han Zhen asked.
"Haha, the Han governor has been holding on for a long time!" Ying Jieyan smiled, "The Han governor thought that Wan An was safe, Jiyang's two armies were narrow and barren, with a complex terrain. The Tartars would never abandon Qiongzhou and attack the two places. It was a laborious but useless to place the front and right troops on this fortification. It would be better to concentrate troops in one place to defeat the enemy in Qiongzhou. And you felt even more resentful, thinking that Your Highness did not understand the random military actions and did not know the wisdom of others, so he would act lazy, right?"
"Fusu Shuai is wise, but he is wrong..." Han Zhen was called out by Fu Shuai and couldn't help but feel embarrassed and murmured.
"It's not bad for you to have such knowledge for the general. But Your Highness is the commander of the three armies, so you can't just look at the gains and losses of the place like you." Ying Jieyan took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, "The Tatars are best at using troops to avoid the real and attack the weak, and use strange soldiers to defeat the enemy. Their battles are often a strong attack and a roundabout way behind the enemy. When the opponent is attacked from both sides, they often collapse without fighting!"
"Oh, I understand. When the Tatars went south, they were blocked by our dynasty in the Jinghu area by the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. They could not be captured for many years. Later, they were guided by the rebel generals to go south from Shaanxi to detour, and then follow the Yangtze River, which collapsed the Jinghu defense line, causing our dynasty to lose its barrier, and then the south of the Yangtze River was not protected." Han Zhen nodded and said, "In the same way, the Tatars also knew that if they would not be protected by Hainan, they would not be protected by Hainan, but we gathered heavy troops on the front line of the strait, so that the enemy could not be captured for a long time, so they might use the same trick again, from the weakest Jiyang or Wan'anden. And we have no defense or soldiers here, so they can easily get ashore and then lead the troops north. Our army lost the benefits of the natural barrier and was difficult to defend Qiongzhou."
"Does Han governor not understand this very much?"
"Your Highness is a humble and stupid job. You cannot understand your noble's deep meaning. You almost made a big mistake. Please punish me!" When they spoke, they didn't know when His Highness had turned back. Han Zhen stood up and saluted, saying in shame.
"I have high hopes for you in the Han Dynasty. I will take your troops here, not only to let you defend this line of defense. I hope you will not only build the Right Army into a tiger on the 6th, but also become a dragon on the sea. One day, I can return to the Great Sixth with me, recover my hometown, and rebuild the Song Dynasty!" Zhao Bing helped him up and said.
"If Your Highness does not abandon you, you will be a front-line guard, lead the Right Army to break through the natural barriers, sweep away the bandits, and help Your Highness realize your ambitions!" Han Zhen untied his heart and bowed to the end regardless of Your Highness's support.
