Zhou Rong, the king of Liang, defeated the king of Qi, lightly dismissed the meager endowment, and made peace with the people, and the displaced people from all over the country returned to their hometowns one after another.

There are also wealthy families such as the Qi Guotian clan and the Huang clan taking the lead, the Wang family and other medium-sized families echoing it, and the local government has set up porridge sheds to guide the people, and many young people who were coerced by the king of Qi laid down their weapons and returned to their hometowns to farm, and the chaotic Qi country finally calmed down.

People all over the world watched this dramatic scene, each with their own joys and sorrows. In addition to sneering at the ambition of the king of Qi and lamenting and pity for the people of the Qi country for suffering unjustified disasters, he also admired the Liang king Zhou Rong's use of troops like a god and the way he governed the country. Some people are already speculating about how long it will take for King Liang to quell the rebellion against Lu Wei, and whether the Southern Tang Dynasty and Xishu will fall in the wind.

All of a sudden, the prestige of King Zhou Rong of Liang was incomparable, and the recitals written to King Jin Jue of Liang fell like snowflakes in front of Xuanyuan De.

Emperor Xuanyuan lived up to the will of the people, crowned King Liang as the king of the flat shoulder, served as the generalissimo, and controlled the soldiers and horses of the world. Fengzhou Taishou Ding was originally named the Marquis of Fengzhou, and concurrently led the Taishou of Qizhou, presiding over the military and political affairs of Qizhou. On Tuesday, Zhou Wu, Qin Ming and other generals all had additional officials and knights, and the former Qizhou generals were rewarded and punished by the Pingshou Wang.

In addition, Emperor Xuanyuan De made another decree, to the effect that Zhou Xian, the eldest son of King Liang, assisted the emperor in governing the government and worked hard, and gave a special courtyard in the palace for rest. If this matter is placed in normal times, it will naturally cause public discussion, but now there is frequent chaos in the world, and people who want to speak are also drowned in various arguments, and no one cares.

King Liang, who was in Hotan, listened to the report of the housekeeper Zhou Feng without any expression.

Hetian City, the place where the former King of Qi garrisoned, and now lives in it is Zhou Rong, the King of Liang.

"Uncle Feng, it's been hard all the way."

"Do things for the prince, don't talk about hard work." All the way from Liangzhou City to Hotan, Zhou Feng's face was neither sad nor joyful.

"Isn't there any news from the Red Moon?"

"I have found it, in a valley outside Qizhou City, the two depend on each other."

"And how are they doing?"

"It's just a stealing life."

"Oh?" King Liang smiled playfully, "Then Uncle Feng said, how to deal with it?" ”

"It's all up to the king."

"Let's keep an eye on it first."

"Yes."

"Go down and rest."

Zhou Feng gave up his hand and retired, silently, and met Tuesday and the second son Zhou Wu on the way, the two of them were dressed in armor and greeted Zhou Feng with a smile.

The two people, who had always been very arrogant, saluted the old man at the same time.

Tuesday opened his mouth and shouted, "Uncle Feng." ”

Zhou Wubi called out respectfully, "Wind steward." ”

Zhou Feng bent down and saluted, "Second master, Wu Gongzi." The prince is waiting for the two of them inside."

"Uncle Feng, how is your health lately?"

"Second Master Xie cares, and the old body is okay."

"Uncle Feng, you have to take care of your body more, the affairs in this palace, if you can hand over the affairs of the palace to the people below, leave them to the people below, don't worry too much."

"Yes, Steward Feng, since you were a child, you have been busy since you were a child, don't get tired."

"Second master, Wu Gongzi, the two of you are serious, the things in the palace are fine, and the subordinates are clumsy, and they always do things that are not in line with their wishes. Besides, the prince is on the march, and I can't help but serve by my side. ”

Looking at Zhou Feng with a smile on his face, the two of them could only smile helplessly on Tuesday. Waiting for Zhou Feng to say goodbye and leave, the two of them stood in place on Tuesday and looked at the old housekeeper with light steps, the two looked at each other, and then turned around and walked to the study.

The two of them straightened their armor in front of the study, and asked to see each other on Tuesday.

King Liang sat in front of the desk, looked at the two people standing with their hands tied, and said with a smile, "In this battle against Shilipo, the second brother was brave and invincible, and he forgot to die, and he admired his brother." ”

Tuesday arched his hand and said, "The prince has a good reputation, and he is just loyal to the country." To win the battle, it all depends on the king's strategy. ”

Zhou Rong was noncommittal, and turned his head to look at Zhou Wu, "The situation of Qi State." ”

"Back to the prince, the soldiers and horses in the territory of Qi have all been reorganized, and the elite high-ranking generals of the original Qi army and border army have basically not moved, and the middle and low-level generals are all sent by our Liang army. Among them, 30,000 troops in the northern border were led by Wang Ming, a son of the former commander of the Wang family, to return to the Liangqi border and station, and at the same time help the Marquis of Fengzhou to deal with the troubles of the displaced people and bandits. General Qin and Huang Ming led the remaining 50,000 southern border troops to return to the Qi-Tang border station to prevent the Tang-Yue War from affecting the Qi State. The remaining 30,000 remnants of horses and 50,000 Fengzhou cavalry were all organized in this battle against Luwei. After reorganization and supplementation, we fought against Lu Wei and gathered a total of 150,000 horses. ”

"What about Tian's sailors?"

"The Tian clan sent the eldest son of the head of the family, Tian Heng, who is also the commander of the Tian clan's sailors, Tian Xuan, who is following the orders of the army."

"Well, what is Lu Wei's reaction?"

"Back to my father, the Luwei coalition army originally stationed a total of 140,000 horses on the border of Liangluwei Sanzhou, and later the Liangqi war, my Liangzhou soldiers and horses turned to break into the territory of Qi, so the two coalition troops left 40,000 horses, and the remaining 100,000 people were transferred to the Qilu border, which was only a hundred miles away from my Hetian camp. In addition, Ruda is also constantly recruiting troops in the country, and it is expected that another 100,000 can be recruited. But ,,,"

"But what?"

"Lu Da's adviser Lin Zijie once suggested that Lu Da's soldiers be divided into two routes, in addition to the 100,000 horses on the Qilu border, Lu Wei and the two countries will each recruit 100,000 troops, plus the original 40,000 people, a total of 240,000 horses, take advantage of our Liang army in the territory of Qi State, cross the border of Liang Wei, directly attack my Liangzhou, and then attack the capital."

"Oh? This Lin Zijie is a talent."

"But for some reason, this plan was rejected by Ruda, and there was no sign of conscription for the country." Speaking of this, Zhou Wu glanced at his father Zhou Rong, and then at Tuesday, and found that the two of them had no intention of speaking, and then said, "The last general is a little puzzled by this. ”

"Second brother, what do you think?"

Tuesday arched his hand and said, "Back to the prince, in the opinion of the last general, this Wei Ping either believes in Luda too much, or he has been deceived and knows nothing about the outside world." Speaking of this, Tuesday suddenly remembered King Qi.

Zhou Rong waved his hand, "Got it, you guys go down and rest." ”

The two looked at each other and turned to leave.

Zhou Rong sat for a while, and the housekeeper Zhou Feng brought someone to ask for a meeting outside the door.

Zhou Rong let the two of them in, and saw a fat man following behind Zhou Feng, his slightly squinted eyes suddenly constricted.

"See Flat Shoulder King". The fat man raised his head and saluted Zhou Rong with a smile on his face.

It is one of the targets of Zhou Rong's expedition this time, Wei Wang Weiping.

Throughout the night, King Wei took advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet bright and secretly returned to Weiguo, unlike when he came, he was followed by an old man, who was the escort sent by King Wei and the housekeeper Zhou Feng.

Weizhou is prosperous, Wei Hou ascended the throne in the first year of the Warring States period and became the king, Wei Wang likes food, and after being called the king, the degree of luxury is even more than before.

Weizhou City, with a population of more than 300,000, is a large city in the Central Plains. The largest area in the city is the Weiwang Palace, which was expanded from the former castle lord's mansion.

There is a place in the palace that Wei Ping specially used to eat, in order to show his feat of eating cod, specially named Cod Fang, although it occupies a small area, but it is heavily guarded.

There are two guards at the door of the cod shop, and sometimes there is a beautiful woman standing on the flat ground in front of the door, dressed in light blue clothes, young but full of white hair, long hair mopping the floor, she always holds a wine gourd, walking at the door, saying that it is a walk, but in fact it is just pacing in the open space at the door. At the same time, there are words in his mouth, and occasionally he will raise the wine gourd, raise his head and pour a sip of wine, and then burp a wine, and exhale a faint white breath.

This person is quite mysterious, outsiders have never seen it, even the cod shop guards can't say why, only know that King Wei is quite respectful to this person.

Today, when the woman finished her walk, when she walked to the palace gate, she glanced at the two guards at the gate and walked into the workshop.

The two guards glanced at each other, and in this season of spring and summer communication, they clearly felt a chill.

In the evening, Wei Ping returned to the palace and said to Zhou Feng, who was following him, "Thank you Steward Zhou for sending me all the way, I really don't hide it, I was worried along the way." ”

"King Wei is polite, the old man is just a subordinate who acts according to orders."

Wei Ping laughed, "The character who can be reassured by the flat-shouldered king, is it an ordinary person?" Let's go, enter the house, I'm going to set up a banquet to entertain Steward Zhou. ”

"King Wei, the big thing is undecided, don't be too public, right?"

Looking at Zhou Fengyun's light appearance, Wei Ping hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, what Steward Zhou said is right, I was too anxious." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare"

"So, it's okay to go in and have a cup of tea, right?"

"King Wei, it's better to be cautious, it's important to be important, at this time, you really shouldn't make extraneous branches, the old man has a friend in Weizhou City, it's better to go to him to settle down."

"Yes, yes, big things matter, big things matter."

"Then the old man will say goodbye, if there is news from Hetian, he will inform King Wei as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, the housekeeper will take care of me that week, forgive me for being inconsiderate."

Seeing Zhou Feng say goodbye, and then gradually disappear on the corner of the street, Wei Ping, who was full of smiles, suddenly turned cold, turned around and walked into the palace gate. The waiter who had been waiting at the door for a long time stepped forward to ask, but was slapped in the face by King Wei, and he fell to the ground, not daring to speak.

Wei Ping came to the cod shop alone, waved his hand casually, said hello to the guard at the door, and walked straight into the shop.

Walking into the lobby, this is where Wei Ping eats, there is a large table, carved with a whole piece of white jade, carved with birds and beasts, mountains and rivers, trees and flowers, etc., lifelike. In Wei Ping's words, the delicacies of the mountains and seas should be filled with flawless white jade, and everything in the world can be a delicacy.

Wei Ping didn't stay at the table, he directly pushed open a small door behind the screen in the lobby, and walked into a courtyard, the yard was empty, but there was a well in the middle, Wei Ping seemed to be looking for something, walked around the well, kept looking into the well, several times he wanted to talk and stopped, he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and his fat face was full of sweat.

"You're looking for me?" A clear voice came.

Wei Ping was excited, and when he turned around, he saw a beautiful woman, with white hair mopping the floor, holding a wine gourd, wearing light blue clothes, looking at him. He relieved himself, "Oops, it scared the hell out of me." ”

"Afraid of what? Afraid that you have done too many bad things and will be approached by ghosts? ”

Wei Ping's expression became relaxed, but he didn't dare to refute in his words, "According to your suggestion, I went to the camp of Hetian, and after King Liang promised me to do it, the court officially named me King Wei." ”

"What else?"

"No, just let me wait for news from him, and the rest will be as usual."

"Got it, is there anything else?"

"No, no."

"When you and Luda were kings together, I asked you to be your Weizhou Taishou and be an Anle Gong, but you didn't listen, until the army of King Liang pressed the border, and you began to feel weak, and found that being the king was not as simple as you imagined, right? Later, King Liang destroyed Qi Wei in just a few months, and you began to be afraid, so you listened to my advice. ”

"Yes."

"Then let me tell you, next, don't have the slightest intention of being the king, you and Luda are added together, not to mention King Liang's opponent, you want to continue to live, continue to enjoy your delicacies of the mountains and seas, jade plate treasure, as soon as you have the opportunity, tell King Liang that you just want to be your Taishou and don't want anything."

"King Liang clearly promised me ,,,"

"Hmph, you Terrans, can you believe what you say?"

"This ,,,"

"You're not leaving? Want to eat me? ”

"Farewell", Wei Ping turned to leave, his fat body was like a ball of meat rolling on the ground.

He really can't forget that back then, Wei Ping had just gotten a Tianshan cod, he was overjoyed, waved back left and right, and saw the cod in the jar motionless, as if he was asleep. He stretched out his hand to tease, just when his fingers were about to touch the fish, the cod opened his eyes, and in an instant, the whole room was cold and foggy, Wei Ping seemed to be in a cold hell, all the internal organs, and the eight veins of the strange meridians were invaded by the cold at the same time, like a needle pricking a knife, and then the fog dissipated, and a beautiful woman in light blue clothes appeared.

The woman called herself Xuezu, asked for details, and ordered Weiping to repair the cod mill and dig a deep well, where the woman lived.

Wei Ping occasionally has a big event, he will come to ask about countermeasures, and he has always obeyed his words, and this secret contact with King Liang was instructed by Xue Zu.

Xue Zu saw Wei Ping leaving, the sky also darkened, the bright moon appeared in the sky, according to her light blue dress, she raised her head and poured a sip of wine, and then exhaled white gas, the white gas did not disperse, more and more, until it filled the entire courtyard.

Xue Zu put the wine gourd in front of his eyes and said to it, "You say, do I want to meet him?" ”

The wine gourd does not move at all.

"You don't speak, you don't say anything when you ask, get angry!"

The wine gourd still didn't move.

She seemed to have given up on the strange conversation, and said softly.

The Tianshan Mountains are full of wind and snow,

The desert world wants to connect.

The snow is also blowing,

The sand is also blind.

May the spring flowers bloom and melt the ice,

May the hearts of the people of the world be peaceful.

The sky is cloudy without you,

It's sunny with you.

She looked up at the moon and muttered, "But I don't even know where you are." ”
