Chapter 323: The Army Outside the City
The capital of the Zhou royal family, Hojing.
It has been some days since the edict of the Son of Heaven was issued to the Qin people, and he has never seen or heard about the military actions of the Qin people.
"Could it be that Yingkang, a savage from the West, really disobeyed the edict of the Son of Heaven and did not help Cheng Guo?" Father Yu Shi thought with hatred in his heart, "Hmph---, if he really dares to do this, I will definitely not spare him." ”
"Someone's coming, please come over with Dr. Yin Qiu." Thinking of this, Father Yu Shi thought of Yin Qiu.
"Nuo ---" immediately went over to invite Yin Qiu after hearing this.
There was not much time, and the royal family's doctor Yin Qiu hurried over, "The upper doctor Yin Qiu has seen the secretary." After seeing Yu Shi's father, Yin Qiu hurriedly bowed.
Originally, Yin Qiu wanted to be the great Sima of the Zhou royal family, but his ability and level could not be compared with his father Yin Jifu, so under the operation of Yu Shi's father, he finally added the word "Shang" in front of his doctor.
Don't look at the difference between this doctor and the doctor, but the difference in actual effect is big.
In the pre-Qin period, there were three levels under the monarch: secretary, doctor, and scholar. The doctor is an ordinary official position, but the doctor is a high-level official position, able to lead the army, can enjoy higher income, can participate in important affairs and activities of the royal family, and so on.
In general, the treatment of this doctor is much better than that of ordinary doctors.
So Yin Qiu, who became a doctor, can he not thank Qing Shishi's father for his help?
Can you not follow other people's instructions?
After the two sides met, Father Yu Shidao asked Yin Qiudao: "Doctor Shang, you said that it has been more than ten days since the Son of Heaven ordered the Qin people to send troops to reinforce Cheng Guo, why haven't you seen the Qin people send troops yet?" Do they dare to be disobedient? ”
Although Yin Qiu did not have the ability of his father Yin Jifu, he had Yin Jifu's intelligence, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Although the secretary can rest assured, in my opinion, the Qin people do not dare to disobey the edict of the Son of Heaven, after all, they have not been in Guanzhong for a long time, and they still need the support of the royal family and the ministers." ”
"Since they need the support of the royal family, why are they reluctant to send troops to help Cheng Guo?" Then Father Yu Shi sighed and said: "You said that this Zhong Geng and we are also learning the art of "Zhou Li" in the royal family, if you don't help him, you will always be unreasonable!" ”
Although Yu Shi's father was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhong Geng, after all, they had studied together, and they were classmates and friends, so he couldn't let him be dissatisfied with himself.
Besides, Zhong Geng's ability level is still very good, and it can be said that it is not bad for his father Cheng Boxiu. In several small talks, Tian Gongyan intended to let Zhong Geng's father succeed him as the Xia official Sima of the royal family, that is, the great Sima who commanded the royal army.
If this Zhong Geng becomes the great Sima of the royal family in the future, won't he still have to be an official in the same dynasty as himself?
Is it okay if the relationship doesn't get along?
Thinking of this, Father Yu Shi felt even more that he should help Cheng Guo when he was in trouble, so that Zhong Geng would be grateful to himself and finally be able to become his powerful helper in the court.
But this annoying Qin man Yingkang just didn't understand Yu Shi's father's "good intentions", and more than ten days have passed, and he has not sent troops to Cheng Guo for a long time.
Did they deliberately get along with Ben Qingshi? Do you sincerely want to spoil my good deeds?
"What the secretary said is very much, at this time, we must help Zhong Geng in time, not only can show the favor of the royal family, but also can make Zhong Geng owe the secretary a favor, and follow the secretary with all his heart." Yin Qiu saw at a glance the true intentions of Father Yu Shi, so he said.
Father Yu Shi looked at Yin Qiu and said, "Only you know Ben Qingshi's mind best!" ”
Yin Qiu smiled happily: "It is our Yin Qiu's blessing to be able to do our best for the secretary, and I will do my best to assist the secretary in the future." ”
A person can be loyal to himself to this point, what else is there to say about Father Yushi?
"Report to ---, Qingshi, an army is coming from the northwest towards Hojing." While the two were talking, the palace guards hurried in to report to Yu Shi's father.
The heavenly palace is greedy for fun, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the world at all, so the big and small affairs of Hojing are handed over to Yu Shi's father to handle for him.
As a result, the defenders of Hojing reported the news that they had discovered that the army was coming towards Hojing.
An army is coming in the direction of Hokyo?
As soon as he heard this, Father Yushi's head buzzed wide. The army actually headed towards Hokyo.
"Isn't it that Bo Rong has already conquered Cheng Guo and has already attacked the royal family?" Father Yu Shi asked Yin Qiudao nervously after hearing this...
Yin Qiu was of course surprised when he heard this, but after all, he was a descendant of the famous minister Yin Jifu, and he followed his father to participate in battles since he was a child, so after hearing this, although he was nervous, he was not so frightened that he lost his mind.
Yin Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I don't think this army is here to attack Hojing." If you are here to attack the royal family of Hokyo, then it is not the guards of the royal family who will report to you at this time, but the guards of Hokyo. The royal family's guards have come to report to you, which means that the army that came to Hokyo is not marching so quickly. The defenders still have time to explain the situation to the royal guards, and ask the royal guards to report to you. ”
After listening to Yin Qiu's analysis, Yu Shifu's nervous mood calmed down slightly, and then said: "Since this army is not attacking Hojing, then why is it still marching towards Hojing?" ”
"I don't know this for the time being, why don't we go to the city together and have a look?" Yin Qiu suggested.
"Okay, you can go to town with me." The army was heading towards Hojing, and of course Father Yu Shifu did not dare to slack off, so he immediately got up and took Yin Qiu and the others to the city wall.
Standing on the city wall and looking northwest, sure enough, an army was marching towards this side, and in the sun, I saw the army commander Gosensen, hunting with flags, whirring under the blowing of the north wind.
The chariot ran over, stepping on layers of dust on the dry land of the northwest, like a black giant beast coming towards the pickaxe capital.
"Where is this army? Why did you line up to Hokyo? "Seeing that the army on the opposite side is neatly moving towards this side, Father Yu also believes that this army is not here to attack Hojing, after all, if you want to attack your city, why do you need to come in such a neat line?
"This army came very suddenly, the last general has already sent scouts to investigate the situation, but it has not come back for the time being, and the soldiers defending the city have closed the city gate after seeing an army coming to the city, and I don't know which country's army this is for the time being?" Hokyo replied.
Father Yu Shi knew that it was best not to open the city gate until he figured out the other party's intentions, so it was reasonable for the guards not to know which country's army the other party was for the time being.
Just when Yu Shifu and the others were still confused about this army, the army outside the city continued to line up in a neat line to approach the pickaxe capital.
There were loud slogans in the ranks.
