After Zhao Zhufu fell asleep that night, Meng Zhong and Le Yi sat on the ground under the lampposts in the hall, carefully discussing the matter under the oil lamp.

But in the end, the two of them decided to stay with Zhao Zhufu, train the latter to train a new guard, and obtain military positions.

The reason is very simple, because under the leadership of Gongzizhang, there are also generals who can fight well, and Tian Busui gives advice to him, so there is no shortage of them. If they defect to Gongzizhang, although they can be reused and gained military power, overall, it will not be of much help to Gongzizhang.

On the other hand, if you stay with Zhao Zhufu and train a new army for him, Meng Zhong and others will be able to get an additional army for Gongzizhang. Although the number of this army is not large, it is better because this army is the guard of Zhao Zhufu and its status is special, and its soldiers and equipment will inevitably be excellent. The most important thing is that this army can enter and exit Handan, which is likely to play a key role when necessary.

The next day, after Zhao's father stood up, Meng Zhong told the former about his decision.

Master Zhao didn't seem surprised that Meng Zhong made the decision to "go far and wide". He smiled and said to Meng Zhong: "Meng Zhong, it is not easy to reorganize a new army for me. Zhao Bao, Zhao Zao, Zhao Jun and others may try every means to obstruct you... As if this is the case, do you still have to persist?"

Meng Zhong said calmly after hearing this: "This is a choice I made after discussing with Le Yi for a night."

Hearing this, Master Zhao looked at Meng Zhong and Le Yi, then nodded and said, "I have courage!...What do you need me to help you?"

Meng Zhong thought for a while and said, "I once heard that even military sages like Sun Wu and Wu Qi were not trusted by their soldiers when they were unknown. If necessary, they should kill chickens to warn monkeys and establish prestige. I hope that Master Zhao can give me such power."

"Of course." Zhao Zhufu nodded. How could he not know such things after half his life?

"Secondly, please give me a box of wealth," Meng Zhong said again.

When Zhao's father heard this, he looked at Meng Zhong a few times.

Based on his understanding of Meng Zhong, the latter was not a person who valued money at all. It was obvious that the money the latter asked for was mostly to buy the hearts of the soldiers.

But is the soldiers you can buy with money really trustworthy?

Master Zhao was very suspicious of this.

But looking at Meng Zhong's confident appearance, he did not refuse and asked, "How much do you want?"

Meng Zhong thought for a while and said, "Please be at least five thousand cloths."

The so-called five thousand cloth coins is five thousand cloth coins. I remember that Meng Zhong’s mother saved money and saved only more than thirty Song Dynasty cloth coins. This shows that five thousand cloth coins are already a big sum of money.

But for Master Zhao, this is nothing.

"Yes." He nodded and agreed to Meng Zhong's request.

After Zhao Zhufu nodded, the "training of the new army" was fully handed over to Meng Zhong.

I have to say that this full power delivery is really thorough, because according to Zhao Zhufu's attitude, he does not intend to give Meng Zhong any other help. This means that Meng Zhong must find a way to get soldiers by himself, either recruit civilians and train them into soldiers by himself, or find a way to call soldiers from other troops. No matter what, he needs to find a way by himself.

On the afternoon of the same day, Meng Zhong visited Zhao Xiangfeiyi and told the latter about this.

After all, to recreate an army, you must first have special military talismans, and this kind of military talisman can only be recognized by the monarch of a country. Although King He of Zhao may not be able to catch up with Lord Zhao's father, King He of Zhao is the monarch of Zhao after all.

"The Lord Father wants to train a new army as a guard? Why?"

When Fei Yi learned about this, he frowned and asked.

Meng Zhong did not explain this and pushed everything down on Zhao Zhufu: "It is unknown why, so Zhao Xiang might as well ask Zhao Zhufu himself."

Hearing this, Fei Yi frowned and thought for a moment, and asked, "How many people do the new army... want?"

Meng Zhong thought about it and replied: "Five hundred people."

After hearing this, Fei Yi frowned and stretched out his brows. After all, five hundred people were really nothing.

He nodded and said, "This is easy. I wonder if the master's father has named the new army? If so, please tell me, who ordered people to carve them on the military talisman."

Meng Zhong thought for a while and said, "Master Zhao stayed in Xindu, so why not just call him "Xinwei"."

"Xinwei?" Fei Yi stroked his beard and thought for a while. He thought the name was well named and had meaning, but he couldn't help asking, "Don't you need to ask the Lord's Father for naming?"

Meng Zhong replied with a smile: "When Master Zhao gave me full authority to this matter, he said, "I told me to take care of it myself. If I ask Master Zhao to ask Master Zhao for instructions again and again, it might make Master Zhao feel that he is not entrusted."

Fei Yi nodded slightly and said to Meng Zhong: "After this, my friend, I will report this matter to Mingjun himself, and then ask the craftsman to carve a military talisman."

"I'm sorry, Zhao."

Afterwards, Meng Zhong was waiting in Feiyi's prime minister's mansion, while Feiyi went to the palace in person to report the matter to King Zhao.

Of course, King He of Zhao would not make Zhao's father unhappy for the 500-member guards. He immediately agreed to the matter and ordered the craftsmen to create military talismans.

In about one day, Meng Zhong got two new pairs of military talismans, one was cast in copper and the other was carved from jade. They were both tiger-shaped military talismans, which could be divided into two left and right pieces, and the date of making this tiger talisman and the army it belonged to were engraved on both sides. If the left and right pieces were fitted, the word "Xinwei" could be clearly seen from the "Tiger Back".

I have to say that the workmanship is very exquisite.

Meng Zhong handed the two pairs of military talismans to Zhao Zhufu to see.

"Xinwei? This is a good name."

Master Zhao nodded and praised, and then he put away the jade-carved military talisman and returned the copper military talisman to Meng Zhong.

According to the rules, Meng Zhong can only keep the right part of the copper tiger talisman on weekdays, and the left part is also kept by the monarch. Only when performing tasks can two tiger talismans be kept at the same time - Meng Zhong was ordered to create a new army at this moment.

As for the other pair of jade tiger talismans, it is for "precaution". They are generally controlled by the monarch and are not easily presented and may never appear. Only when the general holding the "copper tiger talisman" rebelled or did not obey the monarch would send someone to hold the jade tiger talisman to replace the former.

Seeing Meng Zhong put the whole piece of tiger talisman into his arms, Zhao Zhufu asked with a smile: "How do you plan to create this...Xinwei? Are you recruiting the civilians from Handan to train?"

"That's too slow." Meng Zhong shook his head and said, "I'm going to draw the ruthless soldiers from the army in Handan."

When Zhao's father heard this, he was immediately happy.

You should know that the military power of the troops stationed in Handan was either in the hands of the Zhao family headed by Anping Jun Zhao Cheng and Yangwen Jun Zhao Bao, or in the hands of the ministers headed by Fengyang Jun Li Dui. Now Meng Zhong has actually attacked these people. Even Master Zhao’s father admired the courage of this son.

“Let’s go and do it.”

Master Zhao said with a smile.

He was looking forward to what Meng Zhong could do.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Zhu's father, Meng Zhong visited Zhao Xiangfei Yi again and made a request to the latter to "draw soldiers from the army in Handan."

To be honest, Fei Yi naturally would not make Zhao Zhufu unhappy just because of only 500 soldiers, but the problem was that he could not make the decision on military power.

He thought for a while and asked, "I wonder which army I hope to draw soldiers from?"

According to Fei Yi, there are probably several Zhao troops stationed in Handan area: Anping Jun Zhao Cheng and Fengyang Jun Li Dui. These two troops are currently stationed in the "Zhongmu" area to guard the Wei State; then on Handan, there are troops led by Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao guarding Handan, and the troops led by Zhao General "Xinqi" guarding the palace.

As for the other troops near Handan, they are the scattered troops stationed in cities and towns, with a scale and elite level of less than above.

"Then draw soldiers from the army of Yang Wenjun and General Xinqi." Meng Zhong thought for a while and said.

Hearing this, Fei Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It is easy to deal with Zhao's Xinqi, but Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao is not easy to meet. When Zhao's father did not come forward in person, even if Meng Zhong was ordered by Zhao's father to draw soldiers, he would be very likely to be questioned by Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao.

After thinking about it, Fei Yi wrote a letter in person, asking Meng Zhong to take it to visit Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, and he reminded Meng Zhong in advance that it was probably because Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao had a bad temper, so he asked Meng Zhong to be cautious and not annoyed the other party.

"Thank you for your reminder."

Meng Zhong withdrew and retreated.

After saying goodbye to Feiyi that day, Meng Zhong came to the residence of Yangwenjun Zhao Bao and asked him to see the uncle of Master Zhao.

About half an hour later, Meng Zhong brought Meng Hu and others with him, and the group came to the door of Yangwenjun Zhao Bao's mansion, knocked on the door and asked to see the latter.

The servants in the mansion immediately reported the matter to Zhao Bao.

"Meng Zhong? What's that kid doing?"

When the servants from the mansion came to report the news, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao was very surprised.

I have to say that after the palace banquet, Meng Zhong became famous among the celebrities in Handan because of Zhao Zhufu's relationship. How could Yangwenjun Zhao Bao not know that Meng Zhong was the guard beside Zhao Zhufu?

When he thought of being scolded by Master Zhao's father at the palace banquet that day, Yangwenjun Zhao Bao was full of resentment, but he did not dare to vent his anger at Master Zhao's father, so he had to hold it in his heart. Now, Meng Zhong, as Master Zhao's father's guard, came to pay his respects to him, how could Zhao Bao give him a good look?

"Just say that I haven't woken up from my hangover, and I'll tell that kid to come back another day!"

Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao sneered and ordered to the servant.

So the servant returned to the front door of the mansion and said to Meng Zhong and Le Yi who were waiting outside the door: "Yang Wenjun is not in good health, please go back."

Seeing this, Meng Zhong immediately said, "I have a letter from Fei Xiang, please see Yang Wenjun..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the servant saying impatiently: "I have said everything. Yang Wenjun is not in good health, and no one will see him today!"

After saying that, he slammed the door.

"This is probably what Fei Xiang said to make things difficult?" Le Yi snorted lightly, turned to Meng Zhong and said, "What should I do?"

Meng Zhong said calmly: "It's okay, I'll wait here for an hour, only for an hour."

Hearing this, Meng Hu, who was already full of anger, seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Meng Sui, Xiang Liao and others, and they all smiled evilly, making Le Yi a little confused.

Le Yi was not sure. When Meng Zhong said this last time, even Master Zhuang was hit.

An hour passed quickly. At Meng Zhong's instructions, Meng Hu knocked at the door of Yangwenjun's mansion again.

The servant opened the door. He glanced out and then said impatiently: "It's you again? I'm not..."

However, before he could finish his words, Meng Hu kicked the door and kicked him away so hard that the servant who was caught off guard was knocked to the ground and his forehead was also a little dizzy by the door panel.

Before he could react, a cold sword rested on his shoulder.

"Take me to see Yang Wenjun."
