Chapter 317 Wei Hou

Han Qian was about to leave behind the puzzle of Jinling, which he couldn't reach, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves like a torrential rain, like thunder coming out of the side alley, as if hundreds of fast horses suddenly came and wanted to slaughter them fiercely and tear them to pieces.

The sound of the horse's hooves was so urgent, so urgent, and so murderous, that Xi Ying was also shocked, she squatted up in the carriage like a spirit leopard, lifted her skirt, took out a sharp dagger with a length of a foot from the outer thigh sheath, stared out of the car window, and listened to the movement in the distance.

Shu and Chu wanted to get along with Qin and Jin, but they didn't tear their faces with Liang, especially Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, who had always chosen to be a vassal to Liang, which allowed Liang to lurk a large number of elite men and horses in the Shu capital.

Yang En's previous envoy to Shu was assassinated three times, Han Qian's envoy to Shu this time will make the cooperation between Chu and Shu enter a new level, there is no reason to think that the scouts of the Liang State will not move this time, but if the scouts of the Liang State gather cavalry in the city of Shu in broad daylight to attack, it is also jaw-dropping.

The dozens of honor guards brought out by Wei Qun, the Qing of Honglu Temple, were usually pampered, and they were all a little panicked at this moment, not knowing what was going on, and not knowing how to deal with it.

Yang Qin and Zhou stayed outside the city to take care of the warships, goods and the brigade to catch soldiers, Zhao Wuji did not enter the city, he was sent back by Han Qian, Feng Yi was a little panicked and restrained the horse, but Xi Fa'er, Kong Xirong, and Guo were the first to order the troops to spread out to the left and right, every twenty people in a group, a few breaths of time, on the main road of the royal street from the south gate of Shudu City to the palace city, nearly 100 steps wide, forming three cone-shaped small arrays, Han Qian, Guo Rong, Changxiang Hou Wang Yong, Honglu Temple Wei Qun and others rode in the car in the middle.

At the same time, there are 20 armor soldiers forward, in the open space at the entrance of the alley, with 20 iron shields to support the ground, set up guns and halberds, forming a cavalry attack to resist the horse formation, people retreat a little more than ten steps with swords and bows to wait.

Han Qian looked at Changxiang Hou and Honglu Temple Qing Wei Qun with a calm face, he didn't think that the scouts of Liang Guo would dare to assassinate him so openly in the royal street of Shudu, in that case, wouldn't it force Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, to turn his face against Liang Guo?

However, Wang Yong and Wei Qun were also shocked and suspicious on their faces, obviously they didn't know who was sacred, and they dared to attack their chariot and horse team on such an occasion.

"Stop!"

Han Qian soon saw dozens of black cavalry, like black waves rolling out of the wide alley several zhang wide, looking at the posture, they seemed to not hesitate to step over the simple horse rejection formation laid in front of them, but with a heavy shout, he saw that these dozens of black-armored cavalry were almost in the blink of an eye to suddenly retract their momentum.

The war horse snorted, spitting white mist between its mouth and nose, and the cavalry on horseback had their faces covered in black armor, which made them even more murderous.

Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, inherited the legacy of the Shence Army of the previous dynasty, and there were a large number of cavalry under his command, but dozens of black cavalry completed the transformation from galloping like thunder to quiet like a virgin in an instant, which is obviously not an ordinary cavalry can do this.

Han Qian saw that the cavalry did not rush up, but also sat quietly in the carriage, and looked through a layer of gauze that the person at the head was a handsome young man wearing a white robe and silver armor, who was less than twenty-three or four years old, and saw him holding a black halberd in front of his knees, and looked at them with interest.

"Xiaoxian, what do you mean by this?" Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong lifted the curtain, stood in front of the carriage, stared at the silver-armored young man and asked.

Wang Xiaoxian?

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness Marquis Wei, Han Qian was timid and reckless, His Royal Highness Marquis Wei smiled!" Han Qian also stepped out of the carriage at this time, and was the fourth son of Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, and also the sibling brother of Wang Hongyi, the prince of Shu, and the Marquis of Wei

Xiaoxian bowed his hand, and at the same time signaled Kong Xirong, Guo Ke, and Xi Fa'er to gather their family soldiers back.

After the Liang State occupied the Guanzhong region, Zhu Yu, the king of Yong, had only been working hard for more than two years, and the relationship between Shu and Liang had not broken down, but the Shu State had experienced a lot of wars in order to consolidate the rule of living in southern Sichuan and western Sichuan, as well as to resist the southern invasion of the Jingnan army, which was dominated by the Xiqiang forces.

At the age of thirteen, Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, was named the fourth son of the Marquis of Wei and the general of Zhenqiang, Wang Xiaoxian, although he was two or three years younger than the Marquis of Changxiang, but he was brave since he was a child, and there were few people in Shu who could be defeated, and he liked to read military books.

At this time, seeing that Marquis of Wei Wang Xiaoxian was as sharp as a sharpened halberd, Han Qian smiled in his heart, and secretly felt that the rumors were really true, but he didn't know that on the first day they stepped into the capital of Shu, Marquis of Wei Wang Xiaoxian was going to give them a dismount, was it from the instructions of the prince of Shu and the marquis of Qingjiang, Wang Hongyi?

Wang Xiao first looked at Han Qian a few times, and then looked at the nearly 100 Han family tribes who had retreated to both sides of the chariot and horse team, it was obvious that Han Qian and the tribes around him were not scared to the point of urine, which made him have some hope.

Han Qian's new compilation of 300 soldiers, although a considerable number of people are selected from the slave children, but the real backbone is still the convict soldiers, the village soldiers are mainly the elite of the Xi family's bitter slaves.

This time to Shu, Han Qian also knew that it would not be smooth sailing, and only a small number of the troops brought out were newly hired slave children who had more potential to be cultivated, and the others were almost all elite veterans who followed Han Qian in the Jingxiang War and the War of Cutting Domains.

Don't look at the more than 100 Black Cloud Riders around Wei Hou, but the troops around Han Qian are definitely not bad, and even in just a few dozen breaths just now, Xi Fa'er and Kong Xirong have already led people to assemble the six bed crossbows to half.

Wang Xiaoxian ignored Han Qian and Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong, and looked at Wei Qun, the Qing of Honglu Temple, lightly: "Lord Wei, it is true that Han Qian is a noble envoy, but can they bring these sniper weapons into the city?" ”

Wei Qun looked at Han Qian's subordinates with some embarrassment, and was methodically dismantling the six bed crossbows that had not yet been assembled into parts and packing them.

As a rule, it was already extremely courteous for them to allow Han Qian to enter the city with nearly a hundred well-equipped guards, and it was impossible for Han Qian to bring a heavy weapon such as a bed crossbow into the city; It's just that he hadn't seen that the bed crossbow could be disassembled so easily and quickly, and it was so inconspicuously packed in a wooden box after disassembly, so he didn't deliberately remind it.

But then again, Wei Hou did this inexplicably, and it seems that he shouldn't have any background to ask Han Qian to bring a bed crossbow into the city privately?

"These six bed crossbows are a gift from His Royal Highness the King of Tan to the Lord of Shu, if you don't bring them into the city, how can you give them to the Lord of Shu?" Han Qian smiled and asked, "If Marquis Wei feels that it is rude to give such a gift, I will have someone transport them out of the city." ”

The power of the bed crossbow weighing hundreds of pounds is huge, and it seems easy to achieve disassembly, but with the strength of the materials in the world, especially the bow arm parts, it is extremely difficult to maintain the bow arm with strong enough tension after disassembly and assembly.

At the same time, heavy weapons such as bed crossbows are mostly equipped by elite soldiers and horses, and there is no need to hide them in ordinary times.

Therefore, when the world's armor and weapons were manufactured, no one had thought of building a detachable bed crossbow.

And if the bed crossbow can be disassembled and assembled, with several years of military career, Wang Xiaoxian, the Marquis of Wei, who led his troops to charge into battle, it is not difficult to imagine the many benefits of this detachable bed crossbow.

Of course, just six of the current detachable bed crossbows are nothing, after all, even the best weapons will wear out after many uses.

"In addition to these six bed crossbows, His Royal Highness the King of Tan originally

He also specially ordered Han Qian to present the pattern of the whirlwind cannon," Han Qian said indifferently, "Since Marquis Wei feels that these gifts are a bit abrupt to be dedicated to Shu Kingdom, then Han Qian will remove these from the gift list......"

Not only the Liang State, but even the Ma family mastered the manufacturing technology of the Whirlwind Cannon, and in Han Qian's opinion, there was no need to keep the Shu State strictly technically secret; And if they hope that Shu can contain the offensive of the Liang army in Liangzhou, Hanzhong, the Shu army is too weak.

And if they want to exchange for some substantial benefits on this trip, they can't come up with anything shocking enough, just secretly bribing the ministers of Shu, then they completely despise Wang Jian, the lord of Shu.

Marquis Wang Xiaoxian's handsome face stiffened a little at this moment.

Although he did not come to the Jingxiang battlefield in person, Yang Yuanpu, the king of Chutan, assisted Han Qian to defend Xichuan City, causing King Liang Yong to lose his troops and return in vain, and the first battle of Xichuan played a pivotal role in the entire Jingxiang war, he still knew it in his heart.

The whirlwind cannon came out in the bloody battle of Xichuan, which was made by the Chu army craftsman battalion led by Han Qian at that time, and played an extremely important role in the defense of the city.

The "Epidemic Water Sparse" written by Han Daoxun, the assassin of Xuzhou, has also spread in recent years, and the outside world has more reason to speculate that the whirlwind cannon is very likely to be created by Han Daoxun, and Han Qian is a family scholar, so he has been able to perform miraculous feats repeatedly.

Although Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, also ordered Yousi to imitate the whirlwind cannon and other combat weapons, the craftsmen of Shu had not seen the actual appearance of the whirlwind cannon, and only based on the rumors of three or five sentences about the whirlwind cannon, where could they imitate it?

Wei Marquis Wang Xiaoxian refused to say that the whirlwind cannon was useless to Shu at this time, and how could he investigate Han Qian entering the city with a bed crossbow?

Of course, Wang Xiaoxian couldn't bow his head to Han Qian, he just snorted coldly, turned the horse's head, and disappeared into the alley without saying a word, as the more than 100 black horses receded like a tide, as if the episode just now had not happened.

"The fourth child is messing around on the street, has a perverse temperament, and disturbs the envoy, I will definitely join him when I see my father, and please don't care about Lord Han!" Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, said apologetically, his eyes swirling on the boxes containing the bed crossbow parts, he never thought that the third prince Yang Yuanpu would agree to offer the manufacturing technology of the whirlwind cannon to Shu as a dowry gift.

"Where do I have the right to care? The so-called withdrawal of the whirlwind cannon pattern from the gift list is just a casual remark, and it can't scare Wei Hou at all, but if Han Mou says that the cannon cannon pattern is obtained by Hou Ye trying his best to fight for His Royal Highness, how much will Wei Hou feel a little unhappy, right? Han Qian smiled slightly and asked Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang.

As an envoy to welcome relatives, the main goal of this trip is to marry the county lord of Qingyang smoothly, so that the Chu Shu talks can go deeper.

Otherwise, it will be a manifestation of his incompetence, and it will be difficult to explain the past when he returns to Da Chu.

Therefore, no matter how much he wants to make his temperament, the scale is quite limited, and he still has to take advantage of the contradictions between the generals and ministers of Shu and the sons of Shu lords.

However, Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong knew that Han Qian had bad intentions, but when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

The mother concubine died early, although Qingyang was favored, but he left the palace early, and he didn't see his father a few times a year, so his emotions naturally became weak.

On the one hand, he did not have the help of his mother's family, and on the other hand, he was afraid of the suspicion of the Marquis of Qingjiang, and in addition to specializing in poetry and Buddhism, he did not make any achievements in military and political affairs, so he became more and more unpopular with his father.

He knew that his father attached great importance to the performance of the Chu army in the Jingxiang War, and he had always been on guard against the Liang army that might attack Shu when he was ready.

Of course, if he bites the hook easily, he will probably be looked down upon, right?
