It seems to be God bless Dawei, this is a bright morning, blue sky and white clouds, fresh air, sunshine, gentle breeze, in such weather, what kind of production and amusement, what activities and ceremonies are very suitable, standing on the high tower of the south gate of Anyi, looking at the slowly moving black clouds on the ground in the distance, Zhou Bian smiled slightly, and thought in his heart, such a good weather, the wizard who divined for Wei Hou should be rewarded. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info April 27, Yuan Henry Zhen, Ji. On this day, on the top of the high tower of the south gate of Anyi, it was the Marquis of Wei who was in the middle, behind the Marquis of Wei was a cadre of Wei courtiers and nobles, a few steps away was Zhou Bian and a cadre of royal ministers, and on both sides, there were those envoys of various countries. Outside the city gate under the city tower, on both sides of the avenue standing next to the city wall, there were dense crowds, which were the citizens of Anyi who were watching the excitement. On this day, the mighty army of the Wei State that had defeated three great powers in a row was about to return to the court, and the grand welcome ceremony was ready, waiting for the soldiers to return triumphantly. Looking at the neat queue in the distance and approaching, Wei Hou's face was full of smug smiles. The envoys of the countries pointed and pointed and talked about it. "Dr. Qi Guotian Ping is really in the future, it seems that the rumors are true." After observing around, Ning Yue leaned into Zhou Bian's ear and whispered. "Then do you know what contradictions Wei Hou has with the Qi envoy?" Turning his head slightly, Zhou Bian looked at Ning Yue and asked. "I don't know yet." Ning Yue shook his head and said, "The rumors may not all be true, if there is really a contradiction, Tian Ping is likely to return to China directly, even if the Qi State was defeated last year, it still won't be too afraid of the Wei State, Tian Ping can leave angrily." "Therefore, His Majesty thinks that Tian Ping is not here today, maybe he just has an opinion on the triumph of the Wei army, or is it really as some people say, Tian Ping is just unwell today." After a pause, Ning Yue added. "Well, what the truth is, I will always know in the future, Qi and Wei are both big countries, so the relationship between them is good or bad, this king must be clear." Zhou Bian nodded and said, "But now is not the time to discuss, let's watch Wei Ren's performance next." Zhou Bian pointed ahead, and the army in front of him was getting closer and closer. The neat queue, the same pace, as well as the bright armor and bright flag, instantly made Zhou Bian understand why these tens of thousands of people returning to Anyi from Puyang were nearly four months slower than Wei Hou's pace, it turned out that in addition to them going around Taihang Mountain, they also left time to practice the queue. Looking at the shocked expressions of the doctors of the surrounding countries, as well as the smug appearance of Wei Hou, Zhou Bian couldn't help but feel disdainful, and when the royal family is strong, put out the formation of the military parade in the future, and scare you to death. After an hour, he finally couldn't bear the tedious and boring ceremony prepared by the Wei people, and after looking at the Wei army standing neatly under the city gate for the last time, Zhou Bian sat inside the city tower accompanied by Gongzi Ang, there are drinks and snacks, which are specially prepared for VIP rest, but so far, only the royal family and ministers have stepped here, and the doctors of other countries are still outside, you must know that Wei Hou Ke is also outside. This time, it was the part of the army that participated in the siege of Handu and the defeat of the Qi army that participated in the siege of Handu and the defeat of the Qi army that received the triumphal ceremony of his own prince in person, but only 50,000 people returned to Anyi this time, and the other half returned to Daliang. In Gongzi Ang's words, the 50,000 people stationed in Daliang were to move the capital in the future, but after Gongzi Ang left, Ning Yue said that it was to guard against the Chu State. Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the case, Zhou Bian, who is familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period, naturally knows that the Chu State has a meeting alliance to be the boss, so he directly captured the organizers, and then pulled the army over, so in Ning Yue's view, Wei Hou did this for the safety of the Daliang region, because the Daliang region was taken from the hands of the Chu State, and the south was close to the Chu State. Obviously, Wei Hou also has a deep defensive psychology for the Chu State with a vast land of thousands of miles and a million armor, in fact, this time the Chu State can send an envoy, which has greatly surprised Wei Hou, you must know that the Qi Huan Jin Wen Conference The princes of the world to meet the Son of Heaven together are all based on the defeat of the Chu State, so Wei Hou will neither hope that the King of Chu can come, nor will he relax his vigilance. Lying on the low couch inside the city tower for a while, resting for a while, and enjoying some Wei food, finally at noon, that is, at eleven o'clock in the morning of the later generations, Gongzi Ang came in again, and Zhou Bian, who understood the whole ceremony, knew that it was time to appear by himself. This will also be the most important step of the whole ceremony, and it will also attract all the princes and doctors the most, to offer prisoners to the Son of Heaven. Half a quarter of an hour later, looking at the 1,000 young men who were in ragged clothes but in good spirits under the city tower stood in a neat queue, and listened to King Sima beside him as the commander of the army to tell the people of Qi that he had disrespected the royal family, Zhou Bian suddenly understood why Tian Ping, the doctor of Qi State, did not come. A group of Qi soldiers captured by the Wei army were sacrificed to the Son of Heaven as slaves, did Tian Ping still have the face to stand on the side and watch? But it's really strange to think about it, Wei State insulted the Qi people so much, why didn't Qi State protest? Presumably, the protest must have been mentioned, and Wei Hou would still do this, because Jin Wengong did this, but it was the Chu people who wrote the Jin literature. So when the protest is ineffective, why does Qi send a doctor over, is Qi so afraid of Wei? No, Zhou Bian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly remembered the signs that Qi Guo had begun to recruit troops sent not long ago, Zhou Bian instantly understood, Qi Hou was forbearing, showing weakness, accumulating strength, maybe when the Qi State thought that the time was ripe, the Qi people would give the Wei people a fatal blow, yes, just like the real history of Wei to save Zhao and Han to save Zhao, two battles, the Wei State was defeated and pulled down from the altar of the overlord. Although he crossed over, but history will continue to move forward according to its certain trajectory, Zhou Bian was suddenly full of expectations, compared to Qi Hou's forbearance, Zhou Bian knew that he could endure more and hold back his big moves, but it was in the west, there could be such an opponent, and it would be difficult to lead the royal family back to glory, but wouldn't it be more fun? And the current situation is that the Qi State is forbearing, the Qin State is forbearing, and the royal family is not forbearing? Then the key depends on who can endure it more, who can hold back the big move, and who can hold back the big move bigger, Zhou Bian smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his whole body was suddenly full of fighting spirit. The great man once said that fighting with the sky, the joy is endless, fighting with the earth, the joy is endless, fighting with people, the joy is endless, Zhou Bian suddenly felt that this was the case. The short ceremony of sacrificing prisoners ended quickly, Ning Yue thanked and commended on behalf of the royal family, and at the same time accepted this thousand soldiers, the smooth ceremony made Wei Hou have a smile on his face, but no one knew that a little teenage child would think of so many things in just two quarters of an hour. The lively triumphal ceremony finally came to an end before a grand luncheon, and the 50,000 Wei soldiers returned to the camp of Anyi, which had been absent for nearly a year, under the leadership of their respective generals, and at the same time, the 1,000 soldiers were also stationed in the Wei barracks, waiting for orders from their new masters. Although the real commander is Wei Hou, Wei Hou can't reward himself, so Sima Wang Cuo was lucky to receive much more rewards than expected, and was finally carried out of the main hall under the frequent toasts of the princes' envoys. After the luncheon, half of the afternoon had passed, and after a short rest, Zhou Bian summoned several courtiers over. "The king decided to mention Su Rui as the commander of a thousand soldiers, so he led this thousand soldiers, and after half a month of rectification in Anyi, Su Rui led his troops to return to Anyi first. As for the king's personal guard, Zhou Tong served as the centurion. After the monarch and ministers sat down, Zhou Bian announced his decision first. His subordinates have been in the royal family for less than a year, and they have not made an inch of merit, how dare they be promoted like this? Su Rui hurriedly knelt on the ground. How did he not make an inch, outside the Yiguan Road, Qing Ke blocked the assassin for this king. Zhou Bian smiled, looked at Su Rui and said, "Besides, with Qing's talent, there are more than enough commanders of a thousand people, and this king is only afraid that it will be overused." "In this way, your subordinates will thank my king, and please rest assured that your ministers will do their best to train these thousand soldiers for the king." Su Rui bowed again before straightening up. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is worried." Suddenly, Ning Yue arched his hand. "Great King, these soldiers are all Qi people, although they have been sacrificed to my royal family by the Wei State as slaves, but after all, they are not from Luoyang, lest they have different intentions for the royal family, do they really want to be incorporated into my royal division?" When Su Rui heard this, he hurriedly bowed down again, "Please rest assured, your subordinates will definitely discipline him, and in the near future, he will definitely become the most elite soldier under the king." "The Qi people were captured, far away from Linzi, afraid of homesickness, and it was difficult to return to their hearts." Ning Yue shook his head and said. "A certain person was also captured, does Dr. Ning also have to doubt whether a certain person has returned to his heart?" Su Rui raised his head and retorted. Ning Yue hurriedly straightened up from his seat, took two steps on his knees and arched his hand, "I don't mean that, and I hope General Su won't blame him again." "It doesn't matter." Su Rui shook his head and said, and then bowed to Zhou Bian again, "The king can rest assured, his subordinates have the confidence to tame the Qi people." Then Su Rui accentuated his tone, "Just like Su, return to Luoyang." "This king believes in you." Zhou Bian nodded. "This time, you followed this king to Anyi alone, and there are no personal soldiers around you, so why don't you choose six people from this king's personal guards, one is temporarily your deputy, and the other five are temporarily your personal soldiers, and when you lead the troops back to Luoyang, and then choose personal soldiers from your people, etc., how about it?" "Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" "But now there's a problem that might even kill you, are you afraid?" A playful smile appeared on Zhou Bian's face. Su Rui was stunned for a moment, "Naturally, I'm not afraid, but what's the matter, please tell the king!" "You only have six people, and then you only have seven people, but you have to manage a thousand soldiers, and there are tens of thousands of Wei soldiers in Anyi, and there are tens of thousands of royal soldiers when you return to Luoyang, but on the way from Anyi to Luoyang, how do you control them?" Will they run away on the way? Even, will it kill you and then run away? Could it be that with a thousand people, we will still ask Wei Hou to send troops to escort them? Hearing this, Su Rui's face suddenly turned pale, and he stayed there for a while, only then did he realize this serious problem, and at this time, even Sun Man, Fan Yu and others, the king of Ningyue, looked at Su Rui worriedly, because everyone thought that out of the issue of dignity, the royal family should not take the initiative to ask Wei Guo, otherwise they would be laughed at. After a while, Su Rui stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, "King, half a month is too short, how about a month?" Give the ministers a month to train these thousand people, so that the ministers dare to take them back to Luoyang. "And how are you going to train?" "Strictly train them according to the king's array, and then tell them about their current situation, as well as the preferential treatment of my royal family, so that they can return to their hearts, and then select excellent people who submit to the royal family from among them, and grant them to the commander or even the centurion, and ask the king to grant his subordinates the power of the centurion!" Su Rui lowered his head. "Please grant the King's command!" Zhou Bian smiled slightly, "Let you be the commander of a thousand, you can naturally appoint a centurion in your army, and," Zhou Bian paused and said, "Your first centurion, this king will personally grant it as a show of gratitude!" "Thank you, King!" Su Rui bowed down again. It's just that Ning Yue frowned, "The king is going to be in person, he attaches so much importance to it, and we are still in Anyi, will it be too high-profile?" "When Su Rui started training, he asked the Wei people for a separate place to train, and during the daily training, he stood guard and guarded, and avoided the Wei people a little." Zhou Bian replied. "However, Your Majesty has to worry about whether the Wei people will be able to pay attention to our royal family after only one month of training, which is inconsistent with our strategy of showing weakness to the Marquis of Wei!" Ning Yue frowned. "Nope." Zhou Bian smiled slightly, "They will only think that General Su Rui will train troops, and they will no longer look down on my royal family." "Isn't Su Rui a member of the royal family now? Ning Yue couldn't help but scold, but seeing that the king insisted, he didn't insist anymore. "Su Qing, there's one more thing." Su Rui raised his head when he heard the sound. "The king has decided to grant you the 1,000 people who are the first team of my royal engineering corps." "Corps of Engineers?" Wang Sunman asked curiously. Including Su Rui, Ning Yue and the others all turned their heads curiously. "Yes, Corps of Engineers." Zhou Bian nodded and said, his tone was resolute, "Build roads and bridges, set up camp and settle down the village, this is the engineering corps, Su Rui, when you return to Luoyang, bring a letter back to Taishi and Bai Xiang, and they will allocate grain and grass to you, and then you will lead the team to renovate and rebuild the road from Gongyi to Luoyang, okay?" "Build roads?" Su Rui showed a hesitant look on his face. Zhou Bian smiled, "This king knows what you mean, do you want to be able to serve my royal family on the battlefield like other Luoyang soldiers?" Su Rui nodded hurriedly. So first of all," Zhou Bian stretched out a finger and waved, "This king wants to make it clear, this is not a matter of trust or distrust of you, since this thousand people have been handed over to you, on the surface this is trust in you, you don't have any doubts about this." "Let's talk about this engineering soldier again, first, the engineering army is also a very important branch of the army in the army, see the mountains to open the road, meet the water to build bridges, extremely important, the importance of a channel, in many cases is the key to the victory or defeat of the war, second, although we used to have miscellaneous labor, but not valued, after the king returns to Luoyang, the engineer will be formally incorporated into the royal division, this is certain." "Then there are two points, one is General Su Rui, what about you, it is the first time to lead troops in my royal family, whether it is good or not, this king has to see, if it is brought well, it will be directly reused in the future, and second, it is you General Su Rui This king naturally does not have to worry, but Qi soldiers, this king is really not easy to say, this is not a matter of not believing in your ability to lead troops, but after all, Qi people are far away from home, it is better to observe for a period of time, if not, I will always be an engineer in the future and only stay in the Heluo area, if it works, I will talk about it later." Zhou Bian smiled. "Of course, there is a very important reason," Zhou Bian stretched out another finger and shook it, "The road from Gongyi to Luoyang is in disrepair, and the section from Chengzhou to Luoyang may last be repaired before the rebellion of the Prince Dynasty, it is necessary to repair it again, with this thousand soldiers, since they are raised, it is better to let them do more, what do you think?" "The king is wise!" Ning Yue, Su Rui and others praised together. "Su Qing still has questions?" "None. Your Majesty respectfully accepts the king's order, and dares not to do your best! Please rest assured! Su Rui knelt on one knee and gave a military salute. Then go to the king's personal guard to pick someone first, except for Fan Yu and Centurion Zhou Tong, the others are up to you. Zhou Bian smiled and waved his hand. The minister received the order and retired! After getting the order, Su Rui retreated first. Looking at Su Rui's retreating back, Ning Yue nodded and said leisurely, "After following the king for nearly a year, Su Rui should have returned to his heart and can be used." Su Rui is a smart man, measured, and he knows what to do. "If he can return to his heart, he is indeed a general, but he still has to see." Zhou Bian also nodded, lowered his head and muttered for a while, and then turned his head to Fan Yu and said,

"In a few years, you will have to bring troops to this king, you must bring it well." Looking at Fan Yu's eyes full of expectation, Zhou Bian knew that this was the descendant of his own lineage.
