82 To the north
Bang bang...
Zhao Yun played a few tricks, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and kicked the man in black a few times in a row.
The weight of his feet was too much for him to bear, and he immediately curled up on the ground.
"Don't move!"
The sword rested on his shoulder.
Wei Wuji walked out with Shang Ying and Li Yuanba.
Wei Wuji asked, "Who are you?" Why do you want to assassinate the martingale? ”
The man in black was silent.
"Give me his sword."
Zhao Yun picked up the sword and handed it to Wei Wuji.
This is a black copper sword, and the material is very ordinary.
But.
It was surprising that he could block the sharpness of the Qing Sword.
Wei Wuji asked again, "What is the origin of this sword?" ”
"Didn't you hear me?" Li Yuanba was annoyed and smashed his shoulder with his fist, only to hear a click.
"Ahh
The man in black was in pain and subconsciously screamed.
"Yuanba." Wei Wuji shouted.
"I just hit him lightly, he's too fragile..." Li Yuanba hurriedly withdrew his hand and laughed twice.
"Bring him in."
Wei Wuji returned to the living room.
Candles are lit.
The interrogation continued.
Pity...
He just kept his mouth shut.
Li Yuanba shot several times, but he almost broke his hand, but it was still useless.
Wei Wuji finally gave up and said, "Take him to the Shen Penal Division." ”
"Lord Shang, you have to check carefully. This man in black may have been ordered by someone to assassinate you. Because you are the new successor of the head of the Criminal Division, you can decide the life and death of many prisoners. Do you understand? ”
"I understand."
Shang Ying already had an object of suspicion.
But it is necessary to find evidence before the case can be confirmed.
.........
The sky is getting brighter.
Wei Wuji came out of Shang Ying's mansion and went to Li Yanjun, the prime minister of Zuo, to convey his will.
Li Yanjun is the biggest leader of the Anli Wang party.
He was desperate to exonerate King Anli, but he was unable to interfere in the affairs of the Shen Punishment Division. Unexpectedly, such a big piece of pie fell from the sky, and let him, Gongsun Yan and Shang Ying jointly try the case of King Anli.
Now he can intervene justifiably.
Back to Fuchu.
Chu Wushuang and Chu Yanran were still waiting in the living room.
Mu Guiying was also beside her, drinking tea leisurely.
Both of them envied Mu Guiying.
can go to the north with Wei Wuji.
"Mowgli, you're back." Chu Wushuang and Chu Yanran greeted them.
"Don't talk about going to the North again, there's really nothing I can do." Wei Wuji was the first to seal their mouths.
"Ugh...."
Wei Wuji said this, how could they still speak.
Mu Guiying said: "Two sisters, why be anxious? If we go to the north, we won't come, so we need it? ”
"You're not in a hurry..."
"Why don't we learn martial arts?" Chu Yanran said.
Wei Wuji rolled his eyes.
Only Chu Yanran could come up with such a bad idea.
"Learn martial arts? It's not that easy. I've been practicing for more than ten years, and I'm barely a general. Mu Guiying said.
"Stop talking." Chu Yanran couldn't wait to kick Mu Guiying.
"Okay, okay, I won't say..."
Mu Guiying dragged a long voice, quite showing off.
Chu Wushuang and Chu Yanran were even more annoyed.
Wei Wuji said: "Why are you always bickering, so you can't stop and stop?" ”
"Actually, what's the good of going to the north, sleeping in the open, being bitter and tired? If I had a choice, I'd rather stay in Daliang City. ”
.......
Wei Wuji persuaded for a long time.
After the promise, every other month, he would come back, stay for three days, and then return to the north. Chu Wushuang and Chu Yanran relented.
But.
Wei Wuji could feel that they were still not satisfied.
Because Mu Guiying was with him every day, they could only stay for three days, and then they would be separated for a month.
It's so unfair.
Considering the urgency of the situation.
As a last resort.
They had no choice but to give up.
Next.
Shang Ying arrived at the Department of Criminal Punishment and officially went to work.
Li Yanjun and Gongsun Yan also rushed to handle the case of King Anli together.
Originally, Wei Wuji wanted to go and see it.
But in order not to cause gossip, he endured not going.
In the Imperial Study.
Wei Wuji resigned to King Wei Zhao.
"Father, the son is going to the north, do you have anything to explain?"
"Mowgli, come and sit." King Wei Zhao beckoned and set up a seat in front of him.
Wei Wuji sat down.
He said: "You have to go to the north this time, not only to train a good fighting army, but also to govern the place. The north is a land of poverty, sparsely populated, and food is scarce. I want you to change that. ”
"My son will do his best."
"Hmm...."
King Wei Zhao nodded.
He took Gonggong Li out of the imperial study, took out a token from his arms, and stuffed it into Wei Wuji's hand: "Take it, you can use it when necessary." ”
"What is this?"
"Dragon. Able to mobilize all the armies of Wei. King Wei Zhao's words were astonishing.
Such an important token, he actually handed it over to Wei Wuji.
It can be seen that he has 100% trust in Wei Wuji.
Unless...
Is King Wei Zhao tempting?
Wei Wuji got up and said, "Father, the son and the minister will never dare to accept it. The dragon card is the supreme authority of the Wei State, and only the father and emperor can hold it. Please don't test your son, your son just wants to defend one side for his father, and he has no dissent. ”
"Where did you go?" King Wei Zhao shoved the dragon card into Wei Wuji's hand and said, "Take him!" If there is a change in the Wei state, you can use this dragon card to mobilize troops to help. ”
"There has been a change in the Wei country?"
Wei Wuji asked, "What does Father refer to?" ”
"I'm not confused. The border city army must have received someone's order to attack you. The Qin army rose from white and led the halberd iron cavalry to easily pass through our country's defense line and arrive at Daliang City. Think about it, can there be no one behind this? If I don't give you the dragon card, I'm afraid that one day, no one will know about it, you know? ”
"Erchen understands."
The military power of Wei has gradually declined.
King Wei Zhao sensed the threat and wanted Wei Wuji to raise an army in the north to protect the Great Liang while defending against foreign enemies. If the military strength is not enough, you can transfer troops with the dragon card.
As for how much can be adjusted, it depends on the situation.
Put away the dragon cards.
Wei Wuji took out a piece of stinky dried tofu, put it in a bottle, and put it on the dragon case: "This is a holy medicine, it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Even if the throat is sealed by a sword, it can be healed and healed. The father must put it away and don't look at people. ”
"Okay."
King Wei Zhao had already seen the wonder of the holy medicine, and he didn't have the slightest suspicion, so he put it away as if he had obtained a treasure.
Early morning.
Fog was thick.
It is not visible outside the zhang.
An army marched out of the city of Daliang.
Led by Xiang Yu, who was holding a coiled dragon halberd, Gao Shun's trapped camp behind, and Wang Ping's Wudang Flying Army...
Wei Wuji was in the carriage, still sleeping.
Mu Guiying was on the side and called softly: "Wuji, are you really ready to say goodbye without saying goodbye?" How disappointed it should be when the two sisters wake up. ”
"I'm afraid that when I say goodbye, they will cry and cry, and I will be soft-hearted." Wei Wuji sighed.
He didn't want to do it either.
But.
Generals who go out on expeditions, even if they are royal, cannot bring their families, this is an iron rule. Chu Wushuang and Chu Yanran are destined not to go to the north, and saying goodbye will only add to the sadness.
"We'll be back in two months."
Wei Wuji poked his head out and glanced at Daliang City.
Mu Guiying smiled: "Wuji is still reluctant, right?" ”
"Nope."
Wei Wuji shrank back into the car and shouted, "Order... Speed up the march. ”
"Yes."
The troops began a rapid march.
In just one hour, it traveled more than ten miles.
Arrive at Longxian in the north of Daliang.
Da Da...
A squad of cavalry appeared ahead.
Zhao Yunlai said: "Lord, it seems to be Li Bai?" ”
"Why is he here?" Wei Wuji said one after another: "You go and intercept him and call him over." ”
"Yes."
The more than ten horsemen who were rushing here were Li Bai and the swordsmen under his command.
Come to the carriage.
Li Bai was also quite surprised: "Lord, are you going?" ”
"The emperor named me the king of Anbei, I have to take office." Wei Wuji walked out of the carriage and pulled Li Bai aside: "What I asked you to check, how did you check?" ”
"Back to the lord, my subordinates have found out. It was the general of the garrison on the border ordered by King Anli to enter the Wei State in vain. Li Bai said.
"Is there any evidence?"
"Yes."
Li Bai pointed to the horse team behind him: "My subordinates have arrested a general of the Qin army and the person in charge of the joint." They can prove that it was the king of Anli who did it. ”
"Good!"
Wei Wuji said: "Take them back to Daliang City and hand them over to the Shen Penal Division." ”
"My lord, as far as my subordinates know, Dong Huaiyi, the head of the Shen Penal Division, seems to be the person of King Anli..."
"Don't worry. Dong Huaiyi has been deposed by the emperor. Now the main thing is Shang Ying. He will judge impartially. Wei Wuji said.
"Yes." Li Bai was slightly stunned, and said in his heart, it seems that a lot of things have happened in Daliang City in the past few days. Even Dong Huaiyi, the director of the Shen Criminal Division, was dismissed.
Meantime.
He once again admired Wei Wuji's methods, whether it was in the Chu Palace or Wei Ting, he could mix well.
.........
explained some things to Li Bai.
Separate from each other.
He rushed to Daliang with the captured witnesses.
Wei Wuji led his army to the north.
It was a 400-mile journey that took seven days before it arrived.
The first city in the north ---- Jue County.
It is small and dilapidated, and sparsely populated.
In the distance, only a long earthen wall could be seen.
"No..." Wei Wuji ordered the army to stop, stepped out of the carriage, and looked at the city in front of him in surprise: "This is Jue County, one of the seven cities in the north?" ”
"Cut!"
Mu Guiying complained: "It's not as good as our Mu Kezhai." ”
"Can this also be called a city?"
"Is it so short that it can resist the Qin army?" Xiang Yu couldn't help laughing.
"It's the most ruined city he's ever seen." Cheng Biting Jin said: "Lord, let's resist the Qin army here, it's a loss." A chariot charged, and the walls collapsed. ”
"Don't talk so much." Wei Wuji took people and walked in to see.
Only then did I see that the surface of the city was mud, and there was copper and iron inside, which was firmly clamped. Even if you hit the door car hard, it is impossible to hit it open.
The county order of Jue County, after receiving the news, rushed to greet him.
Wei Wuji glanced at him and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Chen Gu He, see King Anbei." He said respectfully.
"The county seat, hasn't it been repaired? Why is it so broken? ”
"Back to the king of Anbei. The Qin army attacked from time to time, and after repairs, it would also be damaged. Therefore, the city walls have not been repaired again in these years. However, please rest assured that the county is impregnable and can withstand the Qin army. ”
"Okay."
Wei Wuji had already taken a closer look, and although the city tower in Jue County was short, it was still sturdy.
"Let's go into town. Let's rest here tonight and leave tomorrow. Under the leadership of Gu He, the army was stationed in the county seat.
"Lord Gu, how many garrisons are there in Jue County?" After arriving at the mansion, Wei Wuji found a place to sit down and asked.
"Back to the king of Anbei, Jue County... There was no garrison. ”
"Didn't you say that the Qin army came to attack from time to time? If there is no garrison, how can you resist it? ”
Gu He said: "Four months ago, the Qin army came to the northern border. At that time, the troops in the city were all transferred. He was defeated in the Battle of Jincheng and almost all of them were lost. The remaining troops have also been transferred to consolidate Jincheng. ”
Jincheng is the most prosperous and fortified city in the north.
It is also an important town in the north.
Wei Wuji knew about that battle.
It's just that I didn't expect that a big war could exhaust all the garrisons in the north.
Even Jue County, which was often raided by the Qin army, did not have troops to garrison it.
If he hadn't come here to ask about military affairs. It is estimated that it will not be long before the northern border will become the land of Qin.
Mu Guiying also came to the hall.
Her stomach rumbled a few times.
When Wei Wuji heard this, he said to Gu He: "You go and prepare something to eat." I have something for you to do after that. ”
"Yes."
Gu He left.
Mu Guiying said: "The situation in the north is really not optimistic. Judging from the map, this place is not far from the border fortress of the Qin army. Their cavalry could go back and forth in a day. ”
"Mowgli, you have to build an army quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to resist."
"Hmm."
Wei Wuji was also worried about this matter.
With the armies of Gao Shun, Wang Ping, and Xu Chu alone, it was okay to hold on for a short time.
After a long time, it will not be able to resist the attack of the Qin State.
Only by expanding the military can we ensure that the city is not lost.
Gu He quickly prepared lunch.
Lunch was simple.
Two plates of cooked meat, one plate of greens.
This is already very good for ordinary people's families.
But who is Wei Wuji?
The dignified prince of Wei, the king of Anbei, just eat this?
Wei Wuji was not a picky eater, but when he received such a courtesy, he was very unhappy and asked Gu He: "Lord Gu, do you look down on this king?" ”
"Why did the king of Anbei say this? The minister was terrified. Gu He lay on the ground.
"You get up." Wei Wuji pointed to the dishes on the table: "No matter how poor you are in Jue County, you won't be so poor that you can't even afford to eat, right?" That's all, and you can entertain me? ”
"Please forgive King Anbei, the minister is really powerless."
"What do you mean by powerlessness?!" Wei Wuji said angrily, "You want to tell me that this is the best meal in Jue County?" ”
To Wei Wuji's surprise, Gu He actually nodded.
Mu Guiying had already eaten it, felt that it tasted good, and said, "Wuji, don't embarrass Master Gu." The meals were still very good. ”
"General Xie." Gu He was busy.
"Thank you, thank you." Wei Wuji said, "You haven't answered my words yet. Is this the best meal in Jue County? Don't lie to me, I'll know in an instant. ”
