Chu State, Danyang, Royal Palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Another day." After dealing with political affairs, Mi Jun walked out of the window of the study, looked at Lang Lang's starry sky, and sighed inexplicably.

It has been more than two years since he ascended the throne.

In the past two years, Gongzi Jun has worked hard and did not dare to slack off.

Fortunately, the foundation of the Chu State is good, and the sudden assassination of Gongzitian has made the military disaster of the heir to be controlled to the greatest extent.

The Danyang rebellion directed almost by Zhanbai made this city almost destroyed, and the gate valve family in it suffered a catastrophe.

With the regular army under his hands, Mi Jun did not take much effort to pacify a hay recklessness, although it took a lot of energy to rebuild Danyang, but there was no restraint in the court.

Mi Jun, who was sitting on the throne, only took half a year to restore order in Danyang. During this period, he even placed his henchmen in the major positions of the court through meritorious deeds, and completed the handover of power. Finally, he appeased the border army, and so far, his throne has been as secure as Mount Tai.

In the rest of the time, Mi Jun vigorously rectified government affairs and encouraged people's livelihood, and now, the national strength has returned to the way it was before the succession, and it is even rising.

Among them, Su Qin and Sun Shuao, recommended by Zhanbai, played a crucial role.

"Zhanbai?" As soon as he thought of that person, Mi Jun's heart became mixed.

As the king of a country, Mi Jun undoubtedly attaches great importance to the talent of Zhanbai, and it is precisely because of this that he will make an exception to allow him to be a prince. But as the same king of a country, Yan Qi had to be jealous in his heart to prevent him from becoming another Wu Qi.

Fortunately, after Zhanbai succeeded, he quietly disappeared, which can be regarded as a relief for Mi Jun. Originally, he really didn't want to do the kind of thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge to kill the heroes, after all, everyone was long-winded, and this kind of disgraceful thing would be scolded by future generations.

Looking up at the moon, Mi Jun quickly threw Zhan Bai out of his mind, and his thoughts drifted back to the secret report he had just received.

Looking back at the thick secret report on the desk, Mi Jun's face immediately became gloomy.

The secret report came from the border garrison, and it reported the important information detected by the scouts, and among them, the one that attracted Mi Jun's attention the most was undoubtedly the henchman - the Han Kingdom.

Because of Wu Qi, the state of Chu prospered, so it formed a century-old grudge with the Han state.

Later, Wu Qi died, and the Han State keenly seized the opportunity and sent troops to counterattack, not only recovering the cities that had been invaded by the Chu State one by one, but also occupying a large area of the territory of the Chu State, which became a major problem for the Chu State.

Because of the loss of the backbone, the border army of Chu has always won less and lost more in the wars in recent years, and gradually became a defensive posture, not seeking fault but not seeking fault, but also greatly delaying the pace of Han invasion.

But just now, the secret report that Qi Jun read presented a confusing piece of information.

On the Chu-Han border, for some reason, the Han * team, which had always been strong, began to shrink, and nearly thirty percent of the army was transferred.

"Could it be that something has happened in the Han Kingdom?" Mi Jun secretly guessed, but he didn't dare to make a decision.

In the face of this kind of war related to the rise and fall of the country, as the king of a country, no matter how cautious he is, he can't be too cautious. After all, who dares to say that this strange move of the Han Kingdom is not to recognize the enemy as weak?

As the monarch of Chu State, Mi Jun hopes to recover his homeland more than anyone else, and even expand his territory, but when Chu's strength is not as good as before, he must work hard to convince himself that he can't act rashly.

"Su Qin once said that knowing oneself and knowing the other side can win a hundred battles. It seems that there is still no need to send secret agents to go deep into the Han Kingdom and explore the truth. Mi Jun muttered to himself.

"There is also a saying in the soldiers, which is called "Don't miss the opportunity and never come again", has the king ever heard of it?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind Mi Jun.

Mi Jun's whole body trembled, the fierceness in his eyes flashed, and the next moment he turned around with surprise, "Sir?!" ”

Zhan Bai walked out slowly from the darkness in the study, and behind him was the eunuch who served Mi Jun closely.

"The king, the exhibition came suddenly, so the slave didn't have time to report, and I hope the king will forgive the sin." The minion fell to his knees with a pout.

The so-called companion is like a companion tiger, no matter what the relationship between Zhanbai and Mi Jun is, as the chief eunuch of this palace, he can't get rid of the sin of dereliction of duty this time. However, this eunuch was not stupid, in order to save his life, he immediately pleaded guilty in front of Zhanbai. In this way, no matter how unhappy Qi Jun is in his heart, he will not punish him excessively.

"Dog minion, who is the gentleman, do you still need to report when you come to see the widow, get out." Sure enough, because of Zhanbai's face, although Mi Jun reprimanded him sharply, he only raised it up in the end.

The eunuch was so cheap, how dare he stay here, and hurriedly slipped out.

"When the gentleman will come back, I will not inform the widow in advance, otherwise, I will always have a feast for the gentleman to wash the dust." Mi Jun eagerly stepped forward, as if he was still the same as back then, and asked Zhanbai to sit down.

"I also just came back, because I had an urgent matter, I had to break into the palace at night, and I hope that the king will forgive me." At this time and that time, Zhanbai did not have the qualifications to be old, and he was quite cautious in his words and deeds.

"What did the gentleman say, if it weren't for you, how could the widow and He De sit here. Although this is a royal palace, Mr. Yu will never defend it. Qi Jun was polite in his heart.

Naturally, this will not be taken seriously.

If it weren't for the cover of his deeds, he wouldn't have seen him in this way.

"My lord, I'm ...... The minister came this time to ask for something important. Moreover, in order to facilitate future actions, I hope that the king will keep his mouth shut and never reveal the whereabouts of the minister. Zhanbai didn't want to be so polite, but before he got down to business, he didn't forget to instruct.

"Oh?" Mi Jun seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation, and temporarily dismissed the impact of Zhanbai's sudden appearance, "I don't know what Mr. said is ......"

"It's about the rise and fall of the Chu State......," Zhan Bai said in a deep voice.

At this time, Mi Jun couldn't help but change color.

"Someone." Mi Jun suddenly shouted.

The eunuch, who had just gotten out not long ago, hurriedly ran in.

"Pass the decree and drive everyone out of the widow's study, including you. Without the will of the widow, those who step into a hundred zhang will be killed without forgiveness and punished the nine clans. Mi Jun said in a fierce voice, showing the majesty of the king.

"Whoa." The eunuch didn't dare to ask more, so he rushed down to deliver the decree.

……

"Sir, now you can speak." Mi Jun said nervously, not only nervous about what Zhanbai was about to say about the rise and fall of the Chu State, but also worried about whether Zhanbai would deliberately let himself support the guards to carry out the assassination.

I have to say that Mi Jun is very conflicted now, and at the same time has a kind of gambler's madness, gambling on Zhanbai is not bad for himself.

Zhan Bai saw the small changes on Mi Jun's face in his eyes, and he was silent on the surface, but he sighed in the mainland.

Sure enough, I can't be friends anymore.

"Two things, one private matter, I want to send a few people back to the Giant Deer Continent." Zhanbai no longer hesitated and got straight to the point.

"Back to the Giant Deer Continent?" Mi Jun frowned, "I'm afraid it's not easy." There are still nearly 100 years to go before the two-way opening of the Fahua Formation......"

As we all know, the Heavenly Desert City, which connects the three continents of Ding, has a total of eleven Fahua arrays, and at the other end, eight are located in the territory of the Spring and Autumn Eight Kingdoms, and the remaining three are at the junction and are divided into three areas.

At the beginning, Zhanbai and the others entered the Chu State from a Fahua Array located in the Sanzhi area on the border of the Chu State.

"As far as I know, in addition to the eleven Fahua Arrays, many super sects or forces have private Fahua Arrays that can be connected at any time. There is Tsing Yi Gate, Wanhuayuan has it, and Chu State is one of the Eight Kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period, if there is none, I'm afraid it won't be able to say it, right? Zhan Bai glanced at Qi Jun meaningfully.

"This ......," Mi Jun smiled wryly, "Don't hide it, sir, my Chu State does have such a Fahua Array, and it belongs to the royal family." Only the king has the right to use it, but the amount of Xuanjing consumed every time it is opened is extremely huge, and now the Chu State is in ruins......"

What Mi Jun said may be true, but if Zhan Bai really believes that the Xuanjing stone needed to open the Fahua Array in the princely states of the dignified princes can't be taken out, then he will be called a complete fool.

When Mi Jun said this, firstly, he was making excuses for what he had just said, and secondly, he also meant bargaining.

It's a pity that Zhanbai obviously won't pay for this.

"Second thing." Zhan Bai directly stretched out two fingers, not giving Qi Jun a chance to continue, and sneered, "In the Giant Deer Continent, I have channels to obtain a large number of organs and ordnance that are not inferior to the Mo family, but there are fewer buyers, I wonder if the king is interested?" ”

Unsurprisingly, Mi Jun's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this.

As the king of a country, he naturally knows the role of organ ordnance on a * force.

Not to mention the others, why was the State of Qi able to dominate the Spring and Autumn Continent, so that the other vassal states (other than the Qin State) bowed their heads and did not dare to covet in the slightest, in addition to the good generals and ministers, they also had the assistance of the Mo family organs. And why the Qin State was able to rely on the barren land and dare to fight against the Qi State for hundreds of years, isn't it also because of the organs and ordnance provided by the Gongyi family?

As for other countries, although they can also buy Mojia institutions from some channels, not to mention that the price is several times more expensive, and the quantity is a drop in the bucket, more can only rely on flesh and blood.

The same is true of the state of Chu, even in the era of Wu Qi, the prosperity of Chu * Wei also relied on the military formation and the brave fight of the soldiers.

If he could get a large number of organs and ordnance, Qi Jun believed that the military strength of the Chu State would definitely be greatly improved in a short period of time, and at that time......

At this point, where does Mi Jun remember his deliberate difficulties before.

Not to mention that the state of Chu is now very powerful, if there is a chance to obtain a large number of machinery and equipment, even if it falls into the situation of the state of Qin, it will not hesitate to smash the pot and sell iron.

"Is that serious?" Excited, Mi Jun changed his usual indifference as a king, and asked urgently.

"When my men return to Julu, they will bring a batch of ordnance as soon as possible. Then the king will know when he sees it. Zhanbai also deliberately forgot the unpleasantness just now.

"Okay, this matter will definitely not be mistaken sir." Mi Jun immediately agreed.

"There is one more thing ......" determined these two major events, and the task of Zhanbai's trip was completed, but ......

"Sir, but it doesn't hurt to speak." Stimulated by the mechanical ordnance, Mi Jun became extraordinarily generous.

"Do you remember what I said at the beginning?" After making a decision, Zhanbai still couldn't bear it and was ready to remind him.

Although Mi Jun and himself have gone farther and farther away at this time, the two have had a good relationship after all.

"What did you say at the beginning?" Mi Jun was stunned for a moment, looked back and thought about it, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.

"Sir, do you mean that the opportunity must not be lost and never come again?"

"Yes, although there is not sufficient evidence, it seems to me that the sudden retreat of the Han state on the border was not a ploy to lure the enemy, nor was it due to the turmoil in its country, but most likely ...... State of Qin. Zhan Bai said in a deep voice.

"Qin State? Could it be that the Qin State wants to attack the Han State? Sir, this joke is not funny at all. Qi Jun was quite unimpressed by Zhanbai's inference.

After all, in the eyes of the world, although Qin's power is strong, because he has been subject to Qi all the year round, he has no energy or strength to invade other countries.

It is precisely because of this well-known reason that although Qin and Han bordered, there was no war for hundreds of years.

Seeing that Mi Jun didn't believe it, Zhanbai was helpless.

This incident reminds him that he is also benevolent and righteous. As for the truth of the matter......

Do you want to say that Qin has the ambition to unify the Spring and Autumn Period? And preparations for war have already begun?

Not to mention whether Mi Jun will treat Zhanbai as a fool, it's just that the rift between the two is getting deeper and deeper, so Zhanbai can't raise any interest.

"Believe it or not. In short, strengthening the military strength of the border army has all the advantages and no disadvantages. Zhan Bai shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

"Sir's lesson is very good." seemed to feel that what he said just now was too rude, and Mi Jun immediately lowered his posture.

"In that case, then I'll go." Zhan Bai didn't want to stay any longer, and got up to say goodbye.

"Oh, don't forget what I said earlier. It is best not to make the matter of my return to Chu State public, as for the reason, I can't say it now, in the future, you will definitely know. Zhan Bai blessed again, which can be regarded as a euphemism to express his refusal to keep him.

"Report ......"

Just when Mi Jun wanted to say something, there was a sudden commotion outside the room.

"The border army has a secret report, and it is urgent for eight hundred miles...... Secret report from the border army, 800 miles to expedite ......"

After a short time, I saw a dusty sergeant trotting all the way under the leadership of the eunuch.

Seeing this, Mi Jun's expression immediately became solemn, and he had no intention of reproaching the eunuch for disturbing, and even took the initiative to greet him.

"Confidential report."

The sergeant apparently met the king for the first time, and seemed very flustered, and in a hurry, it took a lot of effort to take out the secret report from his bosom and present it to Mi Jun by the eunuch.

It is necessary to use 800 miles to expedit, could it be that there is a big situation at the border?

Mi Jun was so anxious that he didn't care that there were outsiders around him, so he opened the secret report and read it by the moonlight.

"Sir......" After reading the secret report, Mi Jun walked up to Zhan Bai, who had not yet left, with a complicated expression, and said meaningfully, "Your previous inferences ...... And it was fulfilled. ”
