Chapter 1029 He Still Wants Fame
On the other hand, Zhao Bing thought he was superior to Zhao Ling, and found all kinds of faults on Lanjiang River to show his status as the commander-in-chief.
Zhao Ling was also sent here, but his mission was to assist Zhao Bing.
"Since we want to let the Hubei Northern Army see the strength of our army, General Chen, isn't your firepower too small?" Zhao Bing found the commander of this exercise and asked.
Zhao Ling opened his mouth when he heard this, wanting to give a reminder, but the words did not come out.
Sure enough, when General Chen heard what Zhao Bing said, he wanted to kick him into the river.
General Chen took a deep breath and said, "Third Master, the Hubei Army is treacherous. They sold us weapons but didn't tell us how to make the ammunition. Our rear-end military affairs office is still researching how to make this ammunition, so we can't waste our training!"
He spoke so pitifully that his heart was bleeding.
After knowing that it was Zhao Bing who proposed the drill, he felt even more resentful towards the third young master of the palace.
The little brat is ignorant and doesn't know their suffering.
With weapons but no ammunition, their initial excitement about getting the gunpowder weapons was immediately dashed. They were also ridiculed by people from their previous team, who said that they still had to rely on their original army.
But no matter what, the soldiers had to learn how to use this weapon. Using it would consume ammunition. General Chen was already heartbroken, and Zhao Bing actually proposed to come to Lanjiang for training. It was simply asking for his life!
If the people in the Military Affairs Office in the rear had not dismantled the ammunition and were confident that they could make it, he would definitely have disobeyed orders.
"No ammunition." Zhao Bing's face looked very ugly. He suddenly turned around and looked at Zhao Ling. "Brother, even if I took your job, you don't have to deliberately not remind me."
Was Zhao Ling very proud of making him look bad in front of General Chen?
Zhao Ling looked at him innocently, "I don't know anything about this either. After all, you, Third Brother, will be in charge after receiving this batch of things."
He could actually understand his father's actions. After all, it cost a lot of money to buy these things, and he also had to bear part of the responsibility. However, it was unwise for Zhao Bing to interfere.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Zhao Bing say, "Brother, there's no need to be like this. Since Father has entrusted this matter to me, he naturally trusts me to do it well. I didn't know about the ammunition just now, so please forgive me, General Chen."
Zhao Bing is flexible and at his best. How could he be influenced by Zhao Ling?
General Chen couldn't hold him back, so he bowed and took his leave.
When they were the only two left on the deck, Zhao Bing approached Zhao Ling and said, "Brother, can you really believe that the heirs chosen by our father are really you and me?"
Zhao Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Oh," Zhao Bing scoffed. "It's a shame that my eldest brother has been working beside father all year round, but he didn't even realize who he really has in mind."
After saying this, Zhao Bing left.
Zhao Ling's expression was unpredictable as he stared at his back in deep thought.
He naturally noticed the change in King Zhao, but couldn't that person be Zhao Bing?
That night, a fire suddenly broke out on the bank of the Lanjiang River in Ezhou. General Chen urgently assembled all the Zhao Wang troops on the river and asked Zhao Bing and Zhao Ling how to respond.
"The Hubei Northern Army had been sitting still until now, but tonight they suddenly deployed on the other side of the river. The situation is not favorable to us. I would like to ask the Crown Prince and the Third Young Master for advice."
General Chen had just been promoted and was not sure of King Zhao's temperament. He did not dare to make decisions on his own when faced with such an emergency.
In his opinion, they should take the initiative to attack at this time, and immediately send people back to request support, and set up ambushes at various passages between Ezhou and Chenzhou.
"What are we afraid of? Liang Cheng doesn't dare to attack us. The prince is in northern Hubei, and he still has a reputation to protect." Zhao Bing didn't care.
Zhao Ling frowned and asked, "Has General Chen sent someone to inform my father?"
