"Do it well, I'm optimistic about you!" Zhao Junsheng said and patted him on the shoulder, turned around and told Niu Dali: "Arrange Shen Youzhi to study our army's military regulations, and then assign him a position according to his learning situation!"

"promise!"

Next, Zhao Junsheng looked at the tents of more than a dozen surrendered officers and generals, and almost all of them slept in the tents, or were irritable and restless, feeling like they were sitting on pins and needles in the tents.

Zhao Junsheng was not very interested in these people, so Niu Dali took him outside a tent and said: "There are two people in this tent, both are from Jingling, one official is to join the army, his name is Zhang Xingshi, and the other is Zhang Xingshi. The team leader is called Huang Hui, and judging from their family backgrounds, both of them came from poor backgrounds!"

Zhao Junsheng went to the front of the tent and lifted the curtain to see that the two were forming a sand table with sand in the tent and forming a formation.

Seeing Zhao Junsheng and others coming in, the two stood up quickly.

Zhao Junsheng walked to the sand table made of sand and looked at it, and said to the two, "Go ahead!"

The two looked at each other, then squatted on the ground and began to "dispatch troops".

Zhao Junsheng took a look at the sand table and found that the sand table showed the terrain around Jiangxia and Xiakou. Jiangxia City and Xiakou City were separated by a big river. Song Jun.

Zhao Junsheng became interested, and he squatted beside the sand table to watch how the two commanded. He saw that the two dispatched troops, and they came and went.

After all, the sand table is a dead thing and cannot be regarded as a real battlefield, so it can only be used for deduction. Once the real battle starts, the battle situation that will appear will definitely be different from the deduction. There are many.

After watching for a while, Zhao Junsheng got up and walked out of the tent.

"Niu Dali, what do you think of Huang Hui and Zhang Xingshi?" Zhao Junsheng asked.

Niu Dali said: "Your Majesty, I think that as long as the luck of these two boys is not too bad, they will definitely be promising in the future. You see, other people either lie down and sleep and give up on themselves; or they can't sit or sleep and stand up. Uneasy and irritable, these two are the only ones who still have the mind to do battle deduction on the battlefield, and if they are willing to delve into tactics like them, their future achievements will not be small!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Being an official in the Southern Dynasties paid attention to family background. Even if a poor family is talented, it is even more difficult to occupy a high position. However, the wars between the Southern Dynasty and our Northern Wei Dynasty and our Dynasty have killed many generals. There was a shortage of talents in the army in the Southern Dynasties, so they had to be promoted from those who were born in the army with military merits. Therefore, in the Southern Dynasties, if the children of the poor families wanted to go further in their careers, joining the army was a good way out! For example, the former Liu Zhong, Kuai En, Dao Yanzhi and these generals of Liu Song Dynasty all came from poor backgrounds!"

"Furthermore, these people from poor families are more loyal to the dynasty and the emperor than those from wealthy families. Children from wealthy families are most loyal to the family rather than the emperor and dynasty. People from poor families are different. They Without the support and fetters of the family!"

The accompanying officials all echoed: "Your Majesty has explained the true meaning of the Southern Dynasty system and the malpractice of official career!"

Zhao Junsheng told Niu Dali: "Arrange a position for each of these two people, and first examine his character and ability!"

"promise!"

Everyone lamented Huang Hui and Zhang Xingshi's good luck in their hearts. It happened that Zhao Junsheng came to inspect. If Zhao Junsheng didn't come, they don't know when they will be able to get ahead. Maybe they will be included in the Death Squad died on the battlefield.

When Zhao Junsheng returned to Jiangxia City, there were already actions in the city. A large number of civilians were recruited to build river fortifications by the river. The glutinous rice from many grain stores, the glutinous rice from landlords and wealthy families, and other materials were collected.

In less than half a day, the riverside became a huge continuous construction site, thousands of people were working here, and they were working hard.

"Listen to me. I will make you all full during the meal, but you have to work hard for me. If anyone doesn't work hard, then don't blame me for deducting his ration!"

The overseers shouted and shouted with their whips.

These civilian husbands who were recruited did have a lot of grievances at the beginning. After all, they were not willing, and they inevitably looked weak and procrastinated when they worked.

But at noon, the chef gave each of them ample food, even at his own home, he didn't let go of his stomach, so that's why the supervisors yelled.

With the support of a large amount of manpower and material resources, the progress of Jiangfang's siege was very fast. It took only one day for the foundation of Jiangfang's fortifications to be solid.

At dusk, a messenger came from the other side of the Han River.

"Report to Your Majesty, General Sima has led his army to break through the Song Army's water fortress by the Han River, and has also captured two special prisoners, who are currently on their way to Jiangxia City!"

Zhao Junsheng's heart fell back when he heard the words, now that the water fortress is taken down, the dry army can block the waterway, so the Song army navy that retreated from Hanjinkou is equivalent to being locked in a cage .

Zhao Junsheng immediately shouted: "Come on, call Hua Xiong!"

"promise!"

Zhao Junsheng asked the messenger again: "Who are those two special captives?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the villain doesn't know, but Sima Yue, the son of General Sima, led the troops to escort him!"

Zhao Junsheng was quite surprised: "Oh? Let General Sima send his son to escort them. It seems that the identities of these two captives are really unusual!"

Soon after Huaxiong arrived, Zhao Junsheng ordered: "Sima Chuzhi has led the army to capture the Song Army's water village on the other side of the Han River. You bring 1000 people and write that large-scale siege equipment such as catapults, stone carts, and bed crossbows are deployed in the Han River. The east bank of the water is far away from the water village, and Sima Chuzhi will send people to block the waterway, and when the Song army navy arrives nearby, you and Sima Chuzhi will force this Song army navy to surrender!"

"The minister leads the decree!" After taking the order, Hua Xiong turned and left. That night, he took a large number of catapults, stone carts, bed crossbows and other large siege equipment with 1000 horses to the east bank of the Han River. Set a trap, and wait for the Song Army sailors returning from Hanjinkou to get into their pockets.

In the morning of the next day, Zhao Junsheng inspected Jiangfang and was quite satisfied with the progress of the Jiangfang project. As soon as he returned to the prefect's mansion, he heard the imperial guard report: "Your Majesty, Sima Yue has arrived!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded, he saw Sima Yue in the lobby of the prefect's mansion.

"Young general Sima Yue pays homage to His Majesty, all blessings, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng walked to the main seat and sat down, raised his hand and said, "Excuse me! Sima Yue, how is your father's situation? Is it a big loss to capture the Song army's water village?"

Sima Yue clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, our army is on a surprise attack. The Song army's water village defenders only have 300 people. They were completely defenseless. They captured the water village very easily, killing more than 120 enemies, and the rest surrendered. Our army only More than [-] people were lost! When I set out, my father had already ordered people to block the waterway!"

"After capturing the water stronghold, the ministers found that two of the captives were different from the others. After questioning, they found out that these two were the Princess of Southern County of Song Dynasty and her son-in-law Chu Yuan!"

Zhao Junsheng was suddenly surprised: "Princess Nanjun and her son-in-law Chu Yuan? Why are they in the Song Army's water village on the other side of the Han River?"

Sima Yue laughed and said: "It's a coincidence that this happened. A few months ago, the Princess of Nanjun and Chu Yuan returned to Nanjun to inspect the fiefdom. It was hot summer and they stayed in Jiangling. They marched westward to Yiling, and then sent troops southward on the north road. Princess Nanjun and Chu Yuan were worried that Jiangling would not be safe, so they decided to return to Jiankang. They felt that going by water was too slow, so they took land. Near the village, they learned that the Gan army had arrived at Jiangxia City, so they hid in the water village in fright, and planned to take a boat from the water village to Xiakou, but they were captured by our army before they set off. so!"

Zhao Junsheng also laughed after hearing this: "It's really a coincidence. Princess Nanjun and her son-in-law Chu Yuan are really unlucky too! By the way, I heard that Chu Yuan is a beautiful man from the Song Dynasty. Do you think he is handsome?"

Sima Yue replied: "This Chu Yuan is much younger than Xiaochen, only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he is worthy of being of a noble family. He looks like a young man at a young age. He is also really handsome and talented. , Export is a chapter!"

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Where is the man?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, they are in an inn in the city, does Your Majesty want to see them?"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Bring them here!"

Soon, Sima Yue came to the prefect's mansion with some soldiers guarding a carriage.

Princess Nanjun and Chu Yuan stepped down from the carriage, both of them felt uneasy, Chu Yuan was better, he was young and mature, even if he was trapped in the enemy's camp, he would not be chaotic.

"General Sima, I don't know why the general brought my husband and wife here?" Chu Yuan asked.

Sima Yue said: "I am here to drive His Majesty the Emperor. Your Majesty heard that Princess Xian and his wife have come to Jiangxia City, so I want to meet you two. Please, please, Your Majesty cannot be kept waiting, otherwise you will not be able to bear the blame!"

Sima Yue was hostile to these two people from the bottom of his heart. Of course there was a reason for this. His Sima family was also the royal family of the Jin Dynasty, and Sima Yue's grandfather Sima Yao was Emperor Xiaowu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Instead, he is now also a child of the clan.

Chu Yuan and Princess Nanjun tremblingly followed Sima Yue to the lobby of the prefect's mansion. When they saw a handsome and majestic man sitting under the screen in the lobby, they thought to themselves that this was the Emperor of Qian Kingdom Zhao Junsheng, right?

The two hurriedly saluted: "Princess Song Guonan County and her son-in-law Chu Yuan have seen His Majesty the Emperor Dagan!"

Chapter 1056 Secret News

Zhao Junsheng looked at Princess Nanjun and her son-in-law Chu Yuan, and saw that Princess Nanjun was in her twenties, and she was pretty, not peerless.

Looking at Chu Yuan again, people in the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties said that Chu Yuan was the first person to be called a handsome man in the Liu Song Dynasty. Zhao Junsheng saw that this child was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He has a beard, and his demeanor is indeed very old-fashioned. There is not much hair on his mouth, but it is well groomed.
