Chapter 125: On the Water's Shore

Yecheng

Zhao Wangfu

King Zhao stood on the high platform and looked at Yecheng under the sunset exuding a trace of afterglow, standing there quietly without saying a word, maybe he was missing his princess, or he was nostalgic for his youth, no one knew what King Zhao was thinking, after a long time, King Zhao walked off the high platform and waved his hand to go.

King Zhao had known Empress Jia's mother Guo Huai a long time ago, and he was also extremely familiar with Empress Jia, and after Empress Jia eliminated Yang Jun, the first thing he thought of was to transfer King Zhao to the post and move to the town to guard the pass, so as to avoid his worries. Therefore, after the day of the sacrifice of Princess Zhao was completed, an edict was issued to move King Zhao to the general of the expedition to the west, the opening of the palace with the three divisions, and the town to guard Guanzhong.

The appearance of King Zhao made the King of Chu a little vigilant, as the predecessor of the clan in other towns for many years, King Zhao came to Luoyang this time, not only did he not even have an escort team, but he also didn't even bring a few decent staff. I don't know if King Zhao is really so incompetent or deliberately clumsy, after the King of Chu learned the news that King Zhao entered Beijing and left the town, he immediately secretly ordered his henchman General Qi Sheng to meet King Zhao, in fact, the welcome was fake, what King Chu was afraid of was that King Zhao was fake and led troops into Beijing to control the government, and the news brought back by Qi Sheng made King Chu puzzled for a while, King Chu was a little unbelievable, and asked Qi Sheng several times, which was a little believable.

King Zhao and his entourage are only twenty or thirty people, which is too unbelievable, right? If he encounters a large number of bandits and horse bandits on the way, won't King Zhao want to die? It's too open-minded to go out, it's too bloody! Not only did the King of Chu think so, but also the auxiliary government of Runan, Wang Wei Stork and others, and Empress Jia also felt that King Zhao's miserable appearance was unreasonable, so that outsiders could see it, as if the court was treating the clan harshly and unkindly, and it was spread out by people with hearts.

After Jia Hou thought about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, Guanzhong was originally the king of Qin guarding the town, but the king of Qin was Yang Jun's nephew, after Yang Jun was killed, although the king of Qin expressed his loyalty to himself, but Jia Hou was still a little uneasy, so he entertained the king of Qin with delicious food and drink, in fact, he was under house arrest in Luoyang, thinking that this time he sent King Zhao to the territory of the king of Qin, and there were no soldiers who must have insufficient confidence. He ordered the transfer of Yue cavalry captains Yang Wei and Mo Yuan to lead 2,000 elite cavalry to escort King Zhao out of the town of Guanzhong.

King Zhao is at ease on the way, walk for a day and rest for two days, whenever he passes by a place with good scenery, King Zhao will go everywhere to enjoy the scenery and play, Yang Wei and Mo Yuan are very helpless in the face of this situation, they can only wait for King Zhao to return in the same place, and the two of them are also holding a lot of boredom in their hearts along the way.

On this day, King Zhao came to the bank of the Bashui River, King Zhao asked the guards to wait far away, and walked straight forward, accompanied by only Sun Xiu, Sun Xiu followed King Zhao closely step by step, after all, this Bashui is not a small river, if King Zhao accidentally fell into it, he should be guilty of ten thousand deaths, King Zhao walked and walked, walked to a river bay, stood on the cliff by the river, looked out, only to see a silver-white waterfall hanging on the cliff, rushed straight down, like a thousand army shouting, like ten thousand horses galloping, The sound is deafening and deafening.

King Zhao looked at the scene in front of him and said to Sun Xiu behind him: "Junzhong, what do you think of this waterfall?" ”

Sun Xiu looked at the waterfall on the cliff behind King Zhao, and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, this waterfall is majestic, the momentum is amazing, and the momentum is miscellaneous, it is really wonderful." ”

King Zhao looked back at Sun Xiu, only to see Sun Xiu respectfully lowering his hand in reply. King Zhao smiled, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Junzhong, the princess is still gone after all, and we are really working hard, but the number of days, this kind of thing is really rare and unwanted, let's do our best." ”

When Sun Xiu heard King Zhao say this, he hurriedly said: "The prince doesn't have to blame himself, this is all the villain's business not done well, and please punish the villain." ”

King Zhao smiled and said, "What am I punishing you for?" If it weren't for you? How could the princess hold out for so long? Went a few years ago! After saying that, King Zhao asked again: "How is the matter with the ore vein?" ”

Sun Xiu replied: "Lord Wang, there was a little incident in the mine, a group of Xianbei people robbed the mine, but the problem is not big, we have almost taken everything we want, so it is just right, this group of Xianbei people cleaned up for us, and we will do it ourselves." ”

King Zhao pondered for a long time and asked Sun Xiu, "Do you know which tribe did it?" ”

Sun Xiu said: "Lord Wang, this, the villain has already found out, it was done by the people of Duan Xianbei. ”

King Zhao frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Duan Xianbei? Is that the dust? This guy is still going to have a good relationship with him? Looks like it's time to reconsider? ”

Sun Xiu heard that King Zhao had this plan, so he said: "The prince guessed well, it was indeed Duan Chen who sent someone to do it, we caught a group of original Duan Chen's subordinates in the mine, we didn't know this news before, and only found out later, the villain feels that since the relationship has been laid, it must be used, and it can't be wasted, we still have to communicate, Lord Wang, what do you think?" ”

King Zhao nodded, rubbed his temples with his hand, and said: "These things, Junzhong, you should be a little more attentive, what this king needs is far from enough, you have to be busy!" ”

Sun Xiu smiled flatteringly: "Doing things for the prince is a blessing for the villain, not busy or busy." ”

King Zhao looked at the waterfall for a long time and continued: "Junzhong, what do you think of the combat effectiveness of this Yue Cavalry Captain? ”

Sun Xiu thought for a long time before he said: "Lord Wang, the soldiers and horses of the battalion of the Yue Cavalry Captain are inherited from the Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army of the Former Han Dynasty, and they are the most elite troops in the Former Han Dynasty. When the former Han Dynasty was at its peak, the Yueqi battalion only levied the good family sons of the six counties of Guanlong. By the end of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court was corrupt and the northern army lost its combat effectiveness. The real main force of the Su Guard in this dynasty is the Seventh Army led by the left and right two guards, and the strength of the Yue Cavalry Captain is also declining, and the Yue Cavalry Captain Department is no longer the elite that the emperor relies on. ”

Sun Xiu then said: "Lord Wang, the idea of the captain of Yue Qi should not be beaten, so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble." ”

King Zhao heard Sun Xiu say this, but he had another plan in his heart, the martial atmosphere in the Guanlong area still exists, especially the good family of Guanxi who have been in the army for generations, most of them are from rich backgrounds, at least they can buy weapons and horses by themselves, and practice martial arts from generation to generation, which is an important source of cavalry from the Qin and Han Central Army. King Zhao intends to recruit an elite cavalry of his own in the Guanlong region.

Seeing that it had been set off for many days before they arrived at Bahe, Yang Wei and Mo Yuan did feel a little bored, so they nested in the carriage and drank stuffy, talking nonsense while drinking.

Mo Yuan was a little drunk, so he said with a big tongue: "It's really boring! It's a pity that I haven't heard of any Hu people making trouble in these years, if the Hun horse thieves in Hedong go south along Wangwu Mountain, it just so happens that the defenders of Heyin are sleeping and ignore the horse thieves. The Hun horse thieves drove all the way to kill King Zhao here, how refreshing was it? ”

Yang Wei listened to Mo Yuan's drunken words, frightened a spirit, and hurriedly kicked Mo Yuan and scolded: "You kid is crazy?" How dare you say such a rebellious thing! ”。 Then, Yang Wei lifted the curtain of the carriage, glanced at it, and said to Mo Yuan cautiously: "Although they are all brothers of our Yue Cavalry Captain's Department, there are so many people in the end!" If you talk nonsense, King Zhao will hear you! Let's just wait to lose our heads! ”

At this time, a servant boy outside the carriage was shouting: "Two captains, Sun Xiushan is invited." ”

Mo Yuan was drunk, groggy, and he hadn't reacted yet, and continued to shout and drink, Yang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then he thought, Mr. Sun? Isn't it Sun Xiu next to King Zhao? Hurriedly poked his head out and said, "Where is Mr. Sun?" I'm going to go! ”

The boy said, "Come with me!" Then he turned and walked away! ”

Yang Wei frowned, instructed Mo Yuan a few words and set off with the man, although he felt disgusted when he saw Sun Xiu's flattering ugly appearance, but after all, he was a popular person next to King Zhao, and he really couldn't offend him, so he followed the servant.
