Xingyang is the west of the Wei State merchants to and from the traffic of the important place, is the reason, the news is also very fast, not long ago when the ship of the Great Qin mission docked, it was heard that South Korea will be the land east of the river to the Wei State of the matter, now to Xingyang to investigate, it is true.

It seems that South Korea attacked Zheng State, and without the secret acquiescence of Wei State and Zhao State, they did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world to do such a thing to challenge Ji Zhou's orthodoxy.

Lin Yuyan did not hide this news from Xiangao and Gongsun Hui, but Xiangao seemed to have expected it and did not care much about this matter, and it seemed that he also knew some things about the relationship between Wei and South Korea.

On the other hand, Gongsun Hui, who is also a Zheng person, is obviously difficult to accept this answer, repeating the old things of friendly exchanges between Zheng and Wei in the past, even if Lin Yuyan faces his attitude, he has no intention of continuing to talk about it.

In short, Daqin's mission only stayed in Xingyang for a day, and after getting used to the prosperity of Xingyang, at noon the next day, Xingyang Shou Zhai Chong sent the customs clearance documents of Wei, and also informed that from the river downstream, as long as you go down the river in Zhaiyang, you can directly reach Daliang City by water.

This also made Lin Yuyan a little shocked, and immediately asked the reason, Zhai Chong also said quite complacently: "At the beginning of the capital of Wei State, Daliang, it was sent to dig the canal, and now the canal is already connecting the big river and Yingshui, and then flowing into the Huai River into the East China Sea. ”

At the moment, Zhai Chong also glanced at Lin Yuyan, and he also regarded the Qin State at this time as one of the vassal states of the Wei State that the other countries had pilgrimaged to congratulate the Wei State.

Zhai Chong also left behind the army to escort Lin Yuyan, which seemed to have provoked many Qin people's disobedience, even if they had not been in service for a long time, Xiangao and Gongsun Hui also frowned.

Zhai Chong explained: "The movement of unknown troops is forbidden in the territory of Wei State, even if it is an embassy sent by Qi State and Ji Zhou Wangji, the number of servants carried by them is not more than 100, and there is a certain Great Wei military guard escort along the way, so there must be no mistakes!" ”

Zhai Chong's oath and accompanying smiling face also made everyone in the Qin State Mission discourage, and then Xian Gaocai bowed his hand to Lin Yuyan and said: "Your Highness, Xingyang's grain is already enough, if you run it again, you can convert the grain and transport it back to Daqin as soon as possible!" ”

Lin Yuyan thought about it, and then looked at Xiangao and nodded, that is, he left Xiangao in Xingyang, and the rest of the people and horses were all handed over to Xiangao, and he took Jing Yi and other Zongwei, Gongsun Hui and less than 100 people to Daliang City.

When he arrived at the double-decker warship of the Qin State, the position where the trebuchet was installed before was also placed as a big tripod to meet the Marquis of Wei, so Zhai Chong also saw the big tripod clearly, and knew what the meaning of the gift of the big tripod between the countries represented, this Xingyang Shou of the Wei State also smiled and sent Lin Yuyan and his party to the ship, and ordered a county lieutenant at the Xingyang Wharf to carry hundreds of Wei pawns and escort the Qin delegation to Daliang along the way.

got on the boat, and was pulled to the center of the river by the slender man on the other side, Lin Yuyan was staring at the figure of Zhai Chong at the Xingyang wharf, and said with a little appreciation: "This person's scheming and means are enough to be a general in my Daqin, and the most rare thing is that this person is still a political talent who governs the place, and may not be able to be a great talent who will enter the Wei State in the future. It's no wonder that Han was only able to serve as a small local official in the Wei State for a long time! ”

Gongsun Hui frowned, and asked suspiciously, "How did His Highness know that Zhai Chong is a general?" ”

Gongsun Hui had never heard of this Zhai Chong leading troops to fight.

Lin Yuyan explained: "The little officials around Zhai Chong are by no means ordinary people, there is no lazy atmosphere, and they are like long-trained soldiers between the lines and walks, and this Zhai Chong travels, Xingyang people are chaotic, and there are a lot of Rong Di, who actually do not carry a guard, which shows his confidence, and then he ordered Xingyang soldiers and horses, it can be known that Wei Hou has handed over the political and military affairs of Xingyang to this Xingyang Shou, and this person has been recognized by Wei Hou. ”

"I see...... Gongsun Hui also nodded, but he also said to Lin Yuyan: "Xingyang is the important place of the Wei State, and it is normal for the Marquis of Wei to send virtuous talents to guard here. ”

Lin Yuyan nodded, but secretly set his eyes in the direction of the lower reaches of the Great River where Daliang City, the capital of Wei State, was located, and frowned.

It is no wonder that Wei has been able to serve as the male lord of the Central Plains for decades, and Zhai Chong, who has not seen the slightest reputation, is already so, so what kind of talented people are the Wei Xiangguo Zhai Huang, Yecheng Shou Ximen Leopard, and the generals of Wei Wei and Le Yang.

Lin Yuyan has already seen that Wei is definitely not Qin, this prince who occupies the most heartfelt part of the Central Plains has been accumulated for decades, and most of the talents in the Central Plains are in Wei, what Lin Yuyan has seen is just the tip of the iceberg of Wei!

After Xingyang, the largest city is Zhaiyang, where Zhaiyang is located, is the center point of the diversion of the big river, the Wei State is also stationed here 20,000 Wei warriors, the big river is divided into two here, one flows to the northeast, and finally flows into the Bohai Sea from the territory of Lu and Qi, the other is the diversion from Zhaiyang, the canal dug by the Wei State of Jing connects the Yingshui, flows into the Huai River, and finally flows into the East China Sea.

The location of Zhaiyang almost symbolizes that the Wei State almost controls the lifeblood of the entire Central Plains, and the reason why the two overlords of the Central Plains had to submit to the Wei State is that the Wei State has grasped the upper reaches of the river.

Whenever there was a drought, the state of Chu and the state of Wei were friendly, and the state of Wei would introduce more water into Yingshui and spread it to the land of Chu and Wuyue; When Qi and Wei were on good terms, Wei put more water sources into the big river and spread them to the land of Qilu.

On the contrary, no matter which country of Qi and Chu dares to make enemies with Wei, Wei will break the embankment and release water, so that the water volume in the lower reaches of the river will more than double sharply.

It can be seen that Zhaiyang is the top priority of Wei, even if it is only a hundred miles away from Daliang, the capital of Wei, the Marquis of Wei is also guarding here with elite soldiers to prevent losses, and it is also to use the core point of Zhaiyang diversion to deter the princes of the Central Plains.

When Lin Yuyan saw the diversion of the two vast soups in Zhaiyang, one in the northeast and one in the southeast, and listened to Gongsun Hui's description of it, it was not difficult to see that the Wei State pinned its ambition on Zhaiyang to control the Central Plains.

The water situation of the big river at the diversion is extremely complicated, and Lin Yuyan also admired the magic of Wei Zhaiyang, compared with this, the means of directly controlling the big river, the Qin State's canals and water diversion are really just a small fight.

The Qin army envoy rushed into the Wei Canal, which was in the southeast, and the big river in the northeast was a natural river road leading to Chaoge, the capital of Wei, Chi Yecheng, Lu and Qi.

When Bai Gui built Daliang City, it was also a hundred miles into Wei's ambition to dominate the Central Plains, Zhaiyang was only a part, and the most important thing was around Daliang City, which was the real lifeblood of Wei.

The canal dug by the Wei people is not much different from the original big river, and even because it is dug manually, it is more smooth, along the way, the Wei State has set up a lot of Wangjiang platforms, and the elite soldiers will guard their vital places, which is enough to block the enemy who offended the Great Wei from a hundred miles away.

Sailed into the Wei Canal, it is already close to Daliang City, the capital of Wei State, and it only takes one day to reach it downstream, and around Daliang City, it is also a wharf built in the place of Shahai to control the Huaisi land that Chu and Qi are fighting for.

After the Sand Sea, the ships of the merchants could not cross the waterway and enter Daliang City again, and the envoys of the countries were also going to go ashore again, but when they approached the Shahai Wharf, the edict of the Marquis of Wei came again, and it was directly to bring the envoy of Daqin directly into the water gate of Daliang City, the capital of Wei State.

In the past, even if the envoys of Qi arrived, the ships had to stay at the Shahai Wharf and walk to Daliang City to meet the Marquis of Wei.

However, the edict of the Marquis of Wei has been handed down, and the personnel who were sent out to greet the envoys in Daliang City led the Qin delegation into Daliang City, and there was no need for the Xingyang County Lieutenant to protect the safety of the Qin State Mission.

And Lin Yuyan can see that this time the Wei State also attaches great importance to the envoy of Great Qin, just by looking at the behavior of Xingyang Shou Zhai Chong, it can be seen that it seems that the commoners of Wei or Hebei businessmen do not know about things, how can the big men of Wei have no news.

The vastness of the Xincai Huimeng even once overshadowed the limelight of the Wei State, how could the Wei State not pay attention to it, I am afraid that on the second day of the Battle of Yingdu that broke out between Qin and Chu, it was passed back to the Great Liang by the people of the Wei State, and presented to the Marquis of Wei and these powerful people of the Wei court.

But even if the Qin State defeated the Chu State in the Battle of Yingdu, Lin Yuyan was also determined, and the Wei State would not make an exception to let the Qin State's delegation sail into the Daliang City.

Lin Yuyan raised his head and stared at the outline of the girder city wall that had already appeared in sight, towering, strong, and exuding the majesty of a certain overlord......

"It seems that the transmission of news from the Wei State is faster than I imagined, and the style of this double-decker warship may have already reached the front of the Marquis of Wei......"
