Ethan Zhan rode Zao Duoduo and galloped all the way, intending to rush to Jiangnan, but he heard a piece of news on the way - that there might be a war in the northwest, and it would be a tough one. The newly appointed military commander Zhao Pu led hundreds of thousands of troops to the northern desert to fight against the Liao people and the Western Xia. If they won this battle, the peaceful and prosperous times could continue, but if they lost, the people of the Song Dynasty would probably have to endure the iron hoofs of the Liao people and the Western Xia people.
Ethan Zhan thought it was a big deal, so he asked a few people who were talking about the dark world, "Is the new marshal reliable?"
Several people curled their lips and said that he was a royal relative and he was less than 20 years old. He was so young that he could not do anything! Everyone planned to pack up and see what happened. If the country was really destroyed, then everyone should just go far away. Anyway, they had all kinds of talented people in the Song Dynasty, but they lacked some brave generals.
Ethan Zhan disagreed and asked in detail, "Taizu also won the world through military campaigns. Who said that the Song Dynasty had no good generals? What was the name of that royal relative?"
"Ninth Prince Zhao Pu." Several people from Jianghu answered, "He is the uncle and nephew of the emperor."
