Chapter Seventy-Five: One Man's Alliance (1)
Daliang City is a city in the south of Wei built by the Marquis of Wei during the period of Wei Wuhou, who conquered the southern Chu State and plundered the land south of the Great River.
Because of its developed water conservancy around it, the land connects the north and south, and the business and travel are endless, far away from the struggle and oppression between the Wei clans, so the commercial development is relatively fast, and in just a few years, it has become a new city comparable to the Wei capital Anyi City.
At the beginning of spring, those merchants who came from all over the world and stayed in various places temporarily due to the obstruction of roads in various places in winter, at this time, they rushed to Daliang City one by one, sold their goods, or replenished the various needs of their caravans, so the river thawed, the cold snow disappeared, and Daliang City, which stood in the cold wind for a winter, began to be lively.
However, the recent excitement is very different from the usual business travel.
The people huddled in the city of Daliang had not yet survived the harsh winter, and countless soldiers of the Wei State wearing exquisite iron armor and bronze masks on their faces opened the closed gate of Daliang City from the outside.
Under the bow of the head of the city guard of Daliang City, the general of Wei who was riding a tall horse weighed it with his hand, and the money that the city guard of Daliang had just stuffed into him in front of him suddenly leaned over and said with a smile: "The mind of the lord is already known, but the king's order is difficult to do...".
The city guard of Daliang, who had just been puzzled by the sudden sight of so many Wei generals and was ready to have money to listen to the news, had not yet reacted, and the forbidden army of Wei Palace, which had already been strictly organized around him, took everyone present at once, and then took over the entire city defense of Daliang roughly.
Those Wei people who were still sleeping in their own homes, before they realized what was happening, stepped on the quiet streets..., and on the quiet streets, countless heavily armed Wei soldiers suddenly appeared, holding Changge, lined up in neat formations, divided into countless squads, and then in countless streets and alleys, patrolling all suspicious people.
After the intensive search and the wailing cries gradually faded away, the officials of Daliang City slowly rushed out from all corners, revealing the news that the King of Wei would come to Daliang City in the near future and meet with the kings of various countries.
Suddenly, the people of Daliang City, who were still trembling because of their fierce faces and sharp weapons just now, instantly became overjoyed.
You must know that the King of Wei, who is far away in Anyi and rules the princes of the Quartet, is actually coming to Daliang, isn't it that these ordinary people are fortunate to see the face of their wise monarch?
Of course, the fact that King Wei came to Daliang had far more impact on the people in Daliang City than that. A small thing done by a big man may evolve into a different meaning in the eyes of ordinary people.
What's more, the ancient people believed in their respective gods, and the king of Wei in the Wei State was the god in the eyes of these ordinary people, since the king of Wei, who was high above, actually wanted to meet the kings of various countries in Daliang City, instead of in Anyi, wouldn't it be Daliang City, the emerging capital in the south of Wei State, in the heart of today's Wei Wang Ying?
The most noisy is the "Wei State Relocation of the Capital", of course, this is also what the people of Daliang are willing to see, after all, the capitals of all countries have always gathered more than seventy percent of the wealth of various countries, and it is also the place where the main ministers of various countries gather.
And the city of Daliang is rich in things and people, gathering countless big merchants from all over the world, there is no shortage of these gold and silver treasures, but the high power is beyond the reach of those merchants who look gorgeously dressed.
If the Wei State moves the capital to Daliang City, then the local officials of Daliang City will definitely rise with the status of Daliang City, otherwise how to buy the hearts of the people of Daliang City and consolidate the prestige of the new capital?
I think that after the capital of Qin was moved to Liyang, why were those old clans who were originally powerful and monstrous in the end faintly suppressed by the new clan of Liyang? Is it because the power of the old clan is not strong enough?
Of course, it is not that the power of the Qin clan is weak, otherwise Chen Cang has been controlled by the clan for five years, and he is in arrears of various taxes, and the ambitious Qin Xiangong will not watch it, and he will not punish the illegal behavior of the clan.
The key lies in the word people's hearts, imagine that in the morning above the Liyang court, King Qin promulgated a certain policy, and almost all the people in Liyang can know it, but the people of Yongdu will wait until ten days at the earliest.
In the long run, do the people of Qin all over the country believe what Yongdu said or what Liyang said? As a result, the prestige of Yongdu was slowly weakened, and people rushed to Liyang to inquire about the news, and Yongdu finally became only an old capital, which was the result of the prestige that was slowly established in the hearts of the people.
Under the longing of the people of Daliang City for several days, the king of Wei finally slowly appeared on the official road outside Daliang City.
Only the drums outside the city sounded, and countless flags of Wei suddenly fluttered in the wind, and the king of Wei and the king of Wei drove slowly towards the gate of Daliang under the escort of two teams of strictly organized Wei forbidden army foot soldiers.
Then there are the cars of other ministers of Wei, there are also Wei soldiers on the left and right, and there are thousands of forbidden army cavalry wandering around the field, faintly guarding everywhere, and there are thousands of troops and horses in the distance, one after another rushed to the military village outside the city.
And the two teams of guards guarding the King of Wei are different from the ordinary Wei soldiers, they are masked, covered in black armor, with a Wei court exclusive to their waists, worth dozens of gold but hard and sharp iron swords, carrying a big bow, carrying twenty-four arrow feathers in the arrow naan, holding a bronze Changge, all of them with tigers on their backs, not angry but self-assured, they are the elite of Wei Wu's strokes.
When the Wei army outside the city had just arrived at the city gate, the people of Daliang City, who were originally ready to cheer on both sides of the road, were suddenly oppressed by the black in front of them, and they were so oppressed by the majesty of the fierce soldiers that rushed in front of them that they could only bow down one by one with pale faces towards the driving Wei king's car.
The grand event that the people of Daliang had expected was suddenly submerged in the dull atmosphere in front of them at this time.
But fortunately, the ministers of Wei after the King of Wei were amiable, which rekindled the enthusiasm in the hearts of the people of Daliang present. However, the elite of the Wei army, the people of Daliang can be regarded as having experienced it today.
Although when he entered the city, the king of Wei did not expect as the people of Daliang, but then the official document issued by the Daliang government to temporarily suspend the curfew made the people of Daliang happy and praised the virtue of the king of Wei.
The curfew system, the government of all countries in Shandong has this order, one to abide by the sunset and rest, the sunrise and the second brother of the natural principle, the government reasonably adjusts the people's work and rest to ensure production;
Second, in ancient times, there were no brightly lit public facilities like today, and the city was still dark at night.
As a result, lawbreakers often commit adultery at night, but the government has no way to do it, so in order to strengthen night security management, curfew measures are adopted. When the hour comes, if the people who are still lingering here and there, they will all be considered thieves and will be imprisoned.
But curfews are bad for business. During the day, people are tired of a long day, and if there is a place to eat and drink, the people are of course willing to spend money on entertainment, but because of the curfew system, these ways of making money have been cut off one by one.
But now the king of Wei is actually in Daliang, and the measures to cancel the curfew that have not been implemented in Anyi in Wei have not been implemented, although it is only temporarily canceled, but it also makes those who have illusions about the rumors of the king of Wei's relocation of the capital happy in their hearts, and immediately walk around to find out the news.
In addition, the king of Wei came to Daliang City, and the night market in Daliang City was opened, and those merchants of all colors, hawkers, and curious people who hoped to make money instantly filled the Daliang Street Market everywhere, and it was boiling.
Just as Wei Wangying came to Daliang City, shocked the Qin alliance of all countries, and began to pull down the prelude, a war of the countries was about to begin, and Sun Bin, who was far away in Qi, was also in a predicament at this time.
"Strategist, have you heard?" , Tian Ji, who was drinking the hot tea on the desk, raised his head slightly, and glanced at Sun Bin who was looking at him with a breezy face.
"I don't know what the general said?".
Tian Ji heard Sun Bin say that he didn't know anything, and immediately sighed, then leaned over and whispered: "It is rumored outside that my Qi State is preparing to crusade against the Qin State together with the Wei State."
When Sun Bin heard this, he immediately frowned, and after taking a sip of the hot tea in his hand, he said slowly: "Oh, there is such a thing? ”
"Sir, why aren't you in a hurry?" Tian Ji was very surprised when he saw that Sun Bin still had no expression on his face, but he couldn't say it directly, so he looked left and right, and said softly: "Then Mr. is not worried about Mr. Wei Kai's little friend."
When Sun Bin heard this, he immediately laughed out loud and said with a smile: "General, it seems that you look down on my little friend too much." Sun Bin thinks that there is really nothing in this world that can stump him? ”
"What do you say, sir? Even if Wei Kai has the ability to reach the sky, but this time it is the five vassal states of Qi, Wei, Zhao, Han, and Chu who sent troops, how can they resist it with the weak Qin State?
Even if it's my Daqi, I don't dare.... I am not sure in my heart", after Tian Ji heard Sun Bin's praise for Wei Kai, he immediately retorted, and stretched out five fingers to faintly gesture, saying that Qin Guo was in a catastrophe this time.
"What does the general think should be done?" , Sun Bin looked at Tian Ji with an excited face, and did not continue to argue, and then said casually.
When Tian Ji heard this, his face immediately became overjoyed, and he said: "Wei Kainai is the benefactor of the military advisor, that is, the benefactor of my Qi country. Now that the Qin State is going to die, and the King of Wei wants to arrest Wei Kai by name, Wei Kai's current situation must be very dangerous.
Now, only by coming to my Daqi, with the protection of my Daqi, will Wei State not hurt Wei Kai...".
"General, did the king ask you to be a lobbyist?" Without waiting for Tian Ji to finish speaking, Sun Bin was silent for a while, and then looked at Tian Ji in front of him seriously and said.
Hearing this, Tian Ji, who was still planning to continue to persuade, suddenly turned pale, and hurriedly explained: "The gentleman is also worried about Mr., Wei Kai is suffering, I am afraid that the military teacher will not be safe in this life."
And since Mr. Wei Kai has great talent and has a deep blood feud with that Wei country, it is better to come to my Qi country and assist my king with Mr."
After hearing this, Sun Bin sighed and said: "When Wei Kai came to my Qi country, the general thought that Sun Bin didn't persuade Wei Kai to come to my Qi country?" However, my little brother, although he is younger, has a mind like iron, and no matter how Sun Bin persuades, he will decide to leave Qi."
"It's a pity, Strategist... If Wei Kai can come to my Qi country, Mr. will also help each other in Qi country... It's not like this now...", Tian Ji listened, and immediately looked at Sun Bin and sighed.
"It is an honor to be a confidant with the general, and it is also an honor to be trusted by my king, what is the pity of being a wasted person...", Sun Bin looked at Tian Ji's sad face, and suddenly said rightly.
It turned out that after the suggestion of Zou Ji, the prime minister of Qi everywhere, was adopted by the king of Qi, those who were not used to seeing Sun Bin were building momentum everywhere, and Sun Bin was re-favored by the lost king of Qi... Wait a minute
As a friend, Tian Ji was very anxious because of this, so he took advantage of the King of Qi to let him act as a lobbyist to persuade Sun Bin to let Wei Kai come to Qi to explore Sun Bin's tone, but now he was even more anxious, but Sun Bin didn't pay attention to it at all.
