Chapter Eighty-Six: Return to Gongyi

After listening to Bai Gui's analysis, Zhou Bian couldn't help but sigh deeply, he could make a hundred refining swords, and he could also train strong soldiers for the purpose of the world, and he could also lead troops to play some tricks such as designing ambushes in the future, but in the overall strategy, he was still not as good as this Bai Gui, thinking of this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but put away his contempt for the ancients, and bowed to Bai Gui in a proper manner.

Before Zhou Bian could bend down, Bai Gui hurriedly helped Zhou Bian up, "It is the duty of his subordinates to give advice to the king, and my king is going to kill Bai." Although there may be just the right place for a certain list, the only one who depends on it is the king! And among the three places, the most difficult place is in Gongyi, how to successfully capture the Duke of Zhou, the most important thing, and it is even more difficult, and it needs to rely on the heroic strength of my king! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Bian took it to heart, how could he have thousands of years of knowledge, and he couldn't be too backward from the ancients. After perfecting, Zhou Bian said it, and sure enough, he immediately won Bai Gui's approval, and earned some face for himself in Zhou Bian's heart, but Zhou Bian only felt that he was now deeply integrated into this world, so he had to be confident and not arrogant, which was Zhou Bian's psychological positioning for himself.

In fact, Zhou Bian's strategy relied heavily on Li An and his clan brothers, who had just walked out, but since they had decided to let it go, let's gamble. Li An's matter Bai Gui heard about it for the first time today, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart, could it be that the Mandate of Heaven really took pity on my king, and actually gave me such good luck as the king, but he praised Zhou Bian a lot, the so-called Holy Tomorrow naturally expected the matter first, and buried this foreshadowing early, and Zhou Bian smiled when he heard it.

However, Zhou Bian never fought unprepared battles, and several people took the trouble to discuss and evolve the whole process several times, and even decided on alternative plans, which roughly settled the entire plan. At this time, the faces of the four people were all relaxed smiles, the so-called planning is in the sky, how can the faces of people who do big things be less heroic, but at this time, the stomach is not dependent, and they haven't felt it yet, only to find that the sky is full of stars outside, and the house is supported by a few oil lamps that Fan Yu came in, which is bright. It has been a few hours since I eaten, and it is rare that the Queen Mother knows that she is discussing a big matter, and she does not come to urge dinner. Zhou Bian immediately smiled and ordered to go out, and after a while, the wine and food were full, and everyone immediately started to repay the patience of the stomach.

Who knows, in this small Chengzhou palace, there is a major event that will alarm the princes and even affect the future pattern of the world, at the same time, the unaware Zhou Gong is still drunk, and the Gongyi Gongzi class is also anxious for the frequent conflicts between his soldiers and the Han soldiers. And from the next day, the Chengzhou royal family, a small but extremely efficient state machine, has begun to issue orders one after another, and the undercurrent has begun to surge.

Two days later, in Gongyi, fifty miles east of Chengzhou City, under the sunlight of the early autumn morning, it seemed that the whole land was plunged into golden yellow, and there were farmers in the farmland who were busy harvesting, although because the water put down in the west was not enough, but in addition to the rice, the rest of the harvest was not bad, so although they knew that most of the grain harvested would be handed over to the big landlord Gongzi class in Gongyi, the farmers couldn't help but be happy only because of the harvest, and their subordinates kept busy. In the center of the large field, there are columns of soldiers running back and forth, and there are even some places where some scolding is heard, which is Gongyi City. It is said that Gongyi City, but in fact, Gongyi is not big, much smaller than Luoyang and even Chengzhou, and even Gongyi can not be called a city at all, because Gongyi does not have a tall city wall, let alone a moat, Gongyi is actually just a fiefdom, I don't know which generation will be given to the children of the clan for Caiyi, and some residences and barracks have been built on the basis of the original village, which can barely be called Gongyi City. After Gongziban accepted Gongyi, in order to prevent it from being attacked by the royal family or Luoyang, he forced the Gongyi people to rebuild the city wall with the help of Han Bing, so at this time, Gongyi City still has a two-person high city wall, which is somewhat like a city.

The ancient and crooked Luoshui bypassed the south of Gongyi City, and then turned north, heading straight for the big river. Crossing Luoshui is the Korean border, and the childe's class relies on South Korea to stand, so there are many boats on Luoshui, which is convenient for Koreans to come to the border at any time. Two days ago, a large number of Korean soldiers had just crossed the river, and they were tired enough, but fortunately, there was nothing to do at this time, so the boatmen were easy to idle, and while the head of the steward was not there, they took advantage of the absence of the head of the steward to the north shore and pulled up a group of threes and twos.

When we were chatting happily, I suddenly heard someone on the south bank shouting for the boat, and I saw two people in a hurry, both wearing rainproof hats, and the one behind them was carrying a burden. After some pushing and pulling by the boatmen, a young man was born, untied the reins, and rowed the boat to the south shore.

"Oh, isn't this Wei Gongzi, what's the matter, I went to Xincheng and came back? What good shipments did you bring home? Seeing that it was an acquaintance, the young boatman also relaxed, and went ashore and asked.

Seeing that he recognized the boatman, Wei Gongzi didn't bother to take off the hat he was wearing on his head, and said, "Well, it's time to come back." A few more pieces of silk came in, thinking that it was the turn of season, so I hurried back. We are not as good as those big businessmen, and there are not many of them, so you can buy some wine and drink them. ”

Saying that, Wei Gongzi stretched out his hand and handed it over, the boatman took it and checked it, and there were a few, he was overjoyed, he was still intimate, which was like those Koreans, it was good not to scold, so he stuffed it into his arms and said politely, "Alas, look at what you do, we are familiar with each other, why do we need to fix these." Wei Gongzi is tired of hurrying, so get on the boat. ”

The three of them turned around and jumped towards the boat, and the last young man who followed Wei Gongzi got on the boat, but the whole boat shook a few times, which showed the weight of the burden on his shoulders. The boatman had already rocked the oars and was about to prop up the boat, when he suddenly saw the young man's face, which he had never seen before, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Hey, Wei Gongzi, your entourage is not the one who walked with you in the store." Who is this? ”

"Oh, that guy was sick in Xincheng, so I asked the guy in the big shop to help deliver it."

"I see, you are always running around, you will inevitably get sick or something, Wei Gongzi, you have to be careful! The small one here can take you across the river, but you have to be ready for interrogation when you enter the city. ”

The boatman said that he would prop up the boat, and Wei Gongzi hurriedly thanked him, which was also Wei Gongzi's good popularity, so someone reminded him.

Since Gongzi's class entered Gongyi, he has re-established the siege and city gates like a frightened bird, and strictly managed the personnel entering and exiting the gates, for fear of accidentally putting spies in Luoyang or Chengzhou. However, Wei Gongzi was originally a native of Gongyi, and when the two of them entered, it was indispensable to make a point, and the gatekeeper's questioning, the guy from the new city was also like a flurry, and there were no flaws, so the two entered the city naturally.

This Gongyi city was originally small, but thanks to the Gongzi class, the population in the small city is quite large, so the business has also developed. This Wei Gongzi was a dilapidated aristocrat, and his family opened a cloth shop on the main street of Gongyi, just like Cheng Zhou, where the royal family is located, and the people of Gongyi are also poor and panicked, so Wei Gongzi's business has not improved, just for a living, and since the Gongzi class became the master, the rich have increased, so Wei Gongzi seized the opportunity to start a silk business, and the business suddenly improved a lot. And the closest and good big city to Gongyi is South Korea's Xincheng, so Wei Gongzi often goes to Xincheng. However, where can Wei Gongzi from a small place fight the profiteers in the big city, not long ago, one by one accident, he was shoddy by a shop in Xincheng, so that Wei Gongzi lost all his old capital, and in frustration, Wei Gongzi wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, but he was rescued by Jiang Ping's people by mistake. This is naturally not a coincidence, but under Zhou Bian's teaching, Jiang Ping made people pay special attention to the Gongyi people who were active in Xincheng and other places, so he paid attention to Shangwei Gongzi early in the morning, just waiting for an opportunity. So the rescued Wei Gongzi got a large amount of money to restart the business, and Wei Gongzi began to work for the royal family, and there is kindness to repay kindness, and the values of the ancients are sometimes so simple.

The young man carrying the burden was naturally Li An, the captive of the royal family, but at this time he wore a big hat, grew a full beard, smeared some turmeric, and it had been half a year, so no one recognized him. The street in Gongyi is not big, and it took a few steps to Wei Gongzi's shop, and after helping Li An put down his burden, Wei Gongzi owed, "An Gongzi, a certain family can only help you get here, and after lunch, you will go to your own business, be careful, if you are discovered, a certain family will not be able to escape." In addition, you must rush back before dark, and the curfew in Gongyi is very strict. Whether it works out or not, a certain family will send you out of town tomorrow morning, remember? ”

The young man nodded, wealth and wealth were in danger, and before he came, he was summoned by the king himself, and the reward promised by the king himself was enough to make anyone fight for his life.

After eating, Li An put on a hat again, and walked into the street where he had not been for more than half a year. Turning around in the crowd with his head down, seeing that no one was paying attention, Li An turned into a small alley, and after a familiar walkway outside a house, he jumped up with his hand on the low wall and gently climbed in.

There was an exclamation in the courtyard first, presumably alarming the owner's house, and then another small exclamation was heard, which should be the surprise of Li An being recognized, and then the crying of a middle-aged woman, and then there was no movement after a door was closed, but no one noticed all this.

After a while, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl opened the front door of the house and hurried out, seeing that the direction was actually the barracks inside the west gate of Gongyi City. The girl ran so fast that she occasionally aroused the sideways of the passers-by on the street, but after a flicker of the figure, the people were busy with their own business again, and no one noticed it again.
