Above the Luan River, the river surface was very lively, with unison shouting and shouting one after another. Nearly a thousand elite soldiers were naked, and they were divided into several teams shouting in unison, dragging segments of huge wooden stakes into the water. In the waist-deep water, more than a hundred strong men who were proficient in water were naked, and they fixed the piers in the water with the help of the buoyancy in the water. The prototype of a pontoon bridge had begun to take shape.

Although it was already summer, the weather was not hot, and it would be chilling if soaked in water for a long time. However, these Zhao soldiers were tireless, and they were just cheering slogans with high morale, but they were still busy.

Zhao Zhang, on the shore, looked carefully for a long time, then went into the water to test the firmness of the bridge piers. Then he nodded with satisfaction and shouted to the Zhao soldiers who were busy on the water, "Brothers, I have worked hard, and strive to complete the construction the day after tomorrow. I will have someone send a fat pig to reward the brothers."

When they heard that there was meat to eat, the soldiers cheered and shouted in unison; "Thank you, Mr.."

Zhao Zhang laughed and whispered to Si Xian beside him, "Please pay more attention here. Let your brothers work hard these days. Be sure to complete the pontoon bridge before sunset the day after tomorrow. If there is not enough staff, I can add it to you. If there are any other difficulties, you can send someone to come to me directly."

Si Xian was the official in charge of building cities and bridges in Zhao's army. Although his responsibilities were of great quality, he was not high. He was always silent beside Zhao Zhang, but he had an answer and did not dare to cross any way. He heard this and bowed quickly and said, "I will do my best to receive the order..."

Before he finished speaking, he did not notice that Zhao Zhangjie frowned, his face sank, and he interrupted roughly: "It's not that I'm trying my best, I'm asking you to complete it. In short, I only have one request, as fast as possible. I'm Zhao Zhang, who is so beautiful, will naturally not treat you badly. If you miss the military opportunity, I will use your head to atone for your sins!"

Si Xian said with a stern voice when he heard Zhao Zhang's second half of the sentence, raised his head to meet Zhao Zhang's forcing eyes, and couldn't help but shiver and said tremblingly, "Yes...yes...yes, the humble position will be completed. Please..."

Zhao Zhang nodded, and before Si Xian finished speaking, he raised his whip and thrust his horse's buttocks hard, turned his horse's head and rushed away with his personal soldiers. The horse's hooves raised a dusty area, which made Si Xianqiu retreat several steps and coughed repeatedly. Seeing that Zhao Zhang had left far away, he saw that there was no one around, he spat heavily on the ground and said hatefully, "What's so great about it? It's just a deposed prince. He can't even keep his throne. He still comes to the front of us."

Zhao Zhang naturally couldn't hear these words. At this moment, he was frowning on his horse's back, thinking about his thoughts while rushing to the road. This time, the father visited Yunzhong and Yanmen in the north, and entrusted all the military and political power of Dai County and the neighboring military and political power to him, so that he could coordinate in the center and prepare for the battle to destroy Zhongshan that will be launched soon. The Luan River is on the necessary route to Zhongshan. If a large army is deployed, the floating bridge will definitely be indispensable. Therefore, Zhao Zhang came to supervise himself after hearing that construction is slow.

Zhao Zhang led more than a hundred personal soldiers to move along the way, and within an hour he arrived at Dai County, the county seat of Dai County.

The general at the city gate was from a distance, and he knew that Zhao Zhang had returned from patrol after he was out of the city and hurriedly opened the city gate and led a group of subordinates out of the city to greet him. Zhao Zhang did not stop at the city gate, but rushed through the city gate at lightning speed and rushed directly to the palace in the south of the city.

When Zhao Zhang got to the palace, when he got off the horse, his personal soldiers reported it, saying that the Prime Minister Zhao Gu had urgent matters and had been waiting in the hall for a long time. Zhao Zhang felt a little uneasy when he heard this. You must know that his father trusted him and entrusted everything here to him. If he messed up, he would be shameless to see his father.

Zhao Zhang hurried to the hall. Zhao Gu was already sitting in the hall waiting. When he saw Zhao Zhang arrive, he stood up and bowed politely, saying, "See the young master."

Zhao Gu was the prime minister of the Dian County and was in charge of military and political affairs in the Dian County, which was of great importance in the officialdom of Zhao State. Zhao Zhang was just a military supervisor, but his rank was lower than Zhao Gu. It is logical that Zhao Gu had no reason to meet him when he saw him. However, Zhao Zhang had another prominent identity, that is, the eldest son of the master father and the crown prince of the previous dynasty. If the master father had not been trapped by love and had absurdly agreed to Wu Wa's request to "depose the eldest son and establish the youngest son" before his death, this huge Zhao State country would probably be Zhao Zhang.

Therefore, Zhao Gu, who is also a royal family, has some sympathy for his far-far cousin, so he has always been very polite to him. He also knows that although the master father took the position of crown prince, he still trusts him very much. You should know that "a son is not as good as a father" is a taboo for the successors of the kings of all dynasties. Although the new king Zhao He is smart and his father loves him very much, it is more because he looks very much like his mother, the woman whom the master father will never forget in his life.

But Zhao Zhang is different. He has been with his father since he was a child and has been trained as a crown prince for many years. At the age of fifteen, he led an army alone to make achievements in the battle to attack Zhongshan. Therefore, his words and deeds are very similar to those of the father. In addition, he is tall and rough, and his appearance is almost the same as that of the father. He looks like a young version of the father.

Before leaving Handan, the master's father only asked Zhao Zhang to take charge of the military supervisor, but did not say which of the military supervisor Zhao Zhang and Zhao Gu were the chief minister. However, Zhao Gu took a step back and gave up the dominance to Zhao Zhang, and followed his leader in everything.

Zhao Gu's courtesy was also favored by Zhao Zhang. Zhao Zhang was a straightforward person and did not have much scheming or thoughtfulness, so he became accustomed to it. For example, Zhao Gu came to him personally to report military information.

"General, please don't give me a gift." Zhao Zhang reached out and held Zhao Gu, and smiled, "You and I are a family, and I have a cousin, so why bother to care about these false gifts so much that I seem uncomfortable." Seeing that Zhao Gu's face was as usual and his tone was relaxed, unlike anything bad, he felt relieved.

Zhao Gu laughed, no longer politely, looked at Zhao Zhang's dusty appearance and said with a smile, "I heard that the young master went to patrol the construction of the Luanhe floating bridge, and everything went smoothly?"

Zhao Zhang nodded and said, "It's pretty good. Although it's a bit delayed, it's generally not satisfactory."

Zhao Gu cursed after hearing this, "These guys have always been lazy. They all blame me for not being disciplined by the minister. This way, if there are such procrastination in the future, you can give it to me and let me teach these people."

Zhao Zhang smiled, but was not at ease, and got back to the point, and said, "You are so anxious to find me, but what are you interested in?"

Zhao Gu nodded, escaped from his arms, and said, "This is an urgent matter sent by the Lord's father. I am afraid that I will delay the important matter, so I have been waiting for you in the palace for you."

Zhao Zhang took the tip, right the wax seal at the opening, and then took out the letter and took out the letter.

Seeing that Zhao Zhang's face had not changed much, Zhao Gu asked, "Young Master, what are the instructions for the Lord's Father?"

Zhao Zhang nodded, put down the letter, and pondered, "My father will arrive in Dai County in six days. Let us prepare early and start preparing for Zhongshan."

Zhao Gu was slightly surprised and said, "Why is it so fast? Didn't we just conquered Lou Fan and Lin Hu? If we attack Zhongshan in a large scale, it will inevitably lead to emptiness in the north. If these two parts have a strange intention, what should we do?"

Zhao Zhang shook his head and said, "My father has always been unexpected, and it is not something we ministers can guess. Since he does this, he naturally makes sense. Instead of trying hard to guess here, we might as well think about how to prepare. After all, the 200,000 troops are chewing, which is a huge amount of material."

Zhao Guyu smiled relaxedly, "Young Master, please rest assured that the day before yesterday, the prime minister had already turned the supplies hoarded in Handan to the north, and it would take less than twenty days to reach Dai County. The master father led the light cavalry to take one step first, so he came so quickly. It would take some days for the subsequent infantry to arrive, so time was completely enough."
