Chapter 198: Thinking about the aftermath
It's hard!
Why is the path of life so difficult?
At this time, Liu Tong was sober, completely sober, and he knew that he had reached a critical moment in his life. One step forward may have hope for life, but one step back will surely lead to death.
Look at the meaning of the healer, and the loose plate is also a matter of the past few days. Liu Tong didn't dare to face everything after the death of Sanpan, and he wouldn't expect Prince Zhao to continue to use him as the prime minister after he came to power, so it was imperative that he still have to think about his future life.
Qianyi.
The grain and grass have been borrowed, and the people have almost prepared for the winter, and now Yingkai and his soldiers are going to consider expanding their armaments and warfare.
"Third uncle, post a notice and start recruiting." After everything was ready, Ying Kai said to Ying Zhao. Ying Kai knew that Zhao Boyu was a rough man, and it was okay to lead the troops to fight, but to do these written things, Ying Zhao still needed to handle them.
"Okay, I'll take care of this." Yingzhao replied.
"Bo Yuan, you will take people to set up tents outside the south gate and take care of recruiting troops. Regardless of the number of applicants, we can only recruit about 1,000 soldiers at most, and then select 500 soldiers from among these 1,000 people. Yingkai turned to Zhao Boyu and said.
"Okay." Although Zhao Boyan himself doesn't like to dance and write, recruiting soldiers is a lively thing, and Zhao Boyan likes to do it the most.
According to Yingkai's arrangement, Zhao Boyu set up a tent in the south of Qianyi City early the next morning, waiting for the people to come and sign up as soldiers.
Sure enough, there were really a lot of people who came to sign up, and among these people, Zhao Boyu also saw several familiar faces.
"Oh, Brother Heituo, why are you here too?" Zhao Boyu actually saw Orion's black lump.
"Why, you don't like me, you think I'm old?" At this time, Heituo was less than forty years old, and in the Western Zhou Dynasty, when people lived very shortly, the age was certainly not small.
"How can I think you're too old to be happy? However, this march and war is a fatal matter, once there are three long and two short, who will deal with this mess of things at home? Zhao Boyu knew that Heituo was the pillar of the family, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.
"What is this, if you hadn't come to Longchuan, I don't know if I would have survived to this day. Now that we have not only survived, but also our lives are getting better and better, I have discussed with a few old people in Longchuan, and a family will send a person to serve as a soldier to protect our Longchuan and Qianyi. With that, Hei Tuo pointed to the dozen or so young people who came behind him.
"This?" Zhao Boyu hesitated, after all, Heituo's age was indeed not young, and he really didn't want Heituo.
"Brother Heituo, I have accepted you, and I will directly appoint you as the chief, and I will lead these people under you." Just when Zhao Boyuan was in a dilemma, he heard Yingkai say behind him.
took it, and directly let the black lump be long.
Hei Tuo seemed to be happy when he heard it: "It's still Sima who understands the thoughts of us old people in Longchuan." Don't worry, we don't want to step into Qianyi with us in Rongdi. As he spoke, Hei Tuo patted his chest and said proudly.
"Let's go in and change your clothes." Yingkai said with a smile to Heituo.
After Heituo left, Zhao Boyu said to Yingkai: "Master Sima, it's not that I don't want to have Heituo's eldest brother, it's just that he is old, if there are three longs and two shorts, how can we explain to his family?" ”
Ying Kai patted Zhao Boyu and said: "Bo Yuan, although marching and fighting is a fatal thing, but it is also a matter of true wishes, if a person is very willing to do a certain thing, then let him do it with confidence, and we must believe that he will be able to do it well." Brother Heituo is willing to be a soldier, so let's let him go, even if he is old, but the few people he brings are not very old, they will definitely protect Brother Heituo on the battlefield. Not only that, but I am sure that they will definitely make meritorious contributions. ”
Zhao Boyu shook his head, "I don't believe that just a few of them haven't fought a few battles, and they can win the battle?" ”
Ying Kai laughed and said: "Don't underestimate these people, they are fighting for their families and lives, and they will definitely fight Rong Di with their lives when they fight." The people are not afraid of death, and what cannot be overcome. ”
Since Ying Kai firmly believes that Heituo will be a good soldier, Zhao Boyu has nothing to say.
This is Ren Ji drove to the conscription site, and after seeing Yingkai, he said softly: "Sima Ke is virtuous or not, I have something to say." ”
So mysterious?
Ying Kai glanced at Ren Ji and said to Zhao Boyu: "You are busy first, and I will come when I go." After speaking, Yingkai followed Ren Ji back to the house.
Ren Ji handed Liu Tong's letter to Yingkai, and the more he looked down, the more ugly Yingkai's face became.
I haven't seen it for a few days, and the loose plate is almost dying.
Ren Ji looked at Yingkai after reading the letter, "Lord Sima, my lord can wait for your news." ”
"Gather everyone to come and discuss, and together we can come up with a better solution."
After everyone arrived, Yingkai told everyone about the situation in Sancheng, and the generals of the Qin army who heard the news were all very surprised.
Even Zhao Boyu, who had always been indifferent to anything, was shocked, "It's not good to scatter the plate, so all the agreements between our Qin people and the scattered country are going to come to naught?" Then, will the scattered country still provide us with grain and grass in the future, and will it let us continue to lease Longchuan? ”
Even Zhao Boyu, who doesn't have much wisdom, can make such an exclamation, let alone others.
Ying Zhao said first, "Once the scattered plate dies, Prince Zhao will succeed to the throne." Once he comes to power, our alliance with the scattered countries will definitely disappear, and it will be difficult to deal with Rong Di at that time. ”
"So, this loose plate can't die at the moment." Zhao Boyu said.
Ying Kai glanced around and said to everyone: "Although the scattered plate is not dead at the moment, this person is also a matter of the past few days, and we must make all kinds of preparations in case of accidents." ”
"Master Sima is right, my lord said that this matter will not wait for anyone, and I ask you to come up with a solution as soon as possible. Once the crown prince Zhao and the ministers unite to deal with my master, the master's life is in danger! Ren Ji said.
Suddenly, Ying Kai realized that Liu Tong was inadvertently standing on the same front with the Qin people. Thinking of this, Ying Kai said to Ren Ji: "Who else hunted with you that day?" ”
"And the Sancheng General Shi Kai."
"Shi Kai is also there?" Ying Kai thought for a moment and said, "It seems that things are not so bad. Ying Kai continued: "At the moment, we have three things to deal with in time. ”
Three things? It seems that Yingkai's thinking has been clarified.
"The first thing is to do a good job in the various considerations of Sanpan's death, such as the issue of succession to the throne, the issue of reporting the funeral to the Guanzhong country, and the issue of the safety and security of Sancheng, etc."
"Well---, Sima is right. These issues do need to be considered in advance. Ren Ji said.
"The second issue is the question of the fate of the prime minister after Prince Zhao succeeds to the throne."
Everyone knows that if it is put in normal times, of course Prime Minister Liu Tongtong will not take the little Qin people in his eyes, but at this time, whoever has soldiers is the boss. At a critical time, the unarmed Liu Tong had to rely on the Qin people who had soldiers and horses.
"The last issue is the succession of the crown prince, the departure and stay of the Qin people, and diplomatic issues." Yingkai will talk about all the problems with you one by one.
