It was another day of rapid marching, except for a break of half an hour at noon, the rest of the day was basically on the road, and finally rushed to Zhongmu before dark. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

During the two-day rapid march, the Wei army also showed a very high degree of discipline, and there were basically no riots or large-scale strata, and as far as the eye could see, the 100,000-strong army was continuous, and the formation was basically neat. In stark contrast, the 20,000 or 30,000 allied troops of the four countries were in a chaotic and dense formation, and by the time an hour in the afternoon, those allied troops had fallen behind and could not be seen.

This also directly reflects the mobility of the Wei army as the strongest army in the world, ten hours a day, a rapid march of nearly 70 miles, converted into a modern speed of more than three kilometers per hour, 100,000 people can maintain this speed together, in ancient times is a very remarkable thing, even in modern times, it is not bad.

When the rapid march arrived at Zhongmu, it was much earlier than when he arrived in Zhongyang yesterday, and Zhou Bian leaned out of the carriage and saw the Zhongmu City more clearly this time.

I saw that the city wall of Muyi in this is also two zhang high, about the appearance of two floors in later generations, the city tower is slightly taller, the city wall is rammed earth, and there is a layer of green bricks outside, this arrangement is more luxurious than the Luoyang city wall before the renovation, and the Wei State is not only strong but also very rich.

Still the same as yesterday, the royal family and the Chinese army of the Marquis of Wei entered the city to rest, and the rest of the army was stationed outside the city. Walking forward with the group, the speed of the car slowed down, and finally stopped. Looking ahead, it turned out that the gate of Zhongmuyi was as narrow as a rat hole compared to the tall city tower, and it was naturally jammed with traffic.

Idle and bored to call Baning to ask, this Zhongmu four city walls are five miles long, east, west, north and south four gates, in addition to ordinary residents, there are tall granaries and barracks built along the inner side of the city wall. The city gate was built small, not because it was not large, but to prevent a large influx of enemy soldiers when the city gate was broken. It seems that this is a military fortress, with high walls in the small town, and it looks like a castle-like building. Speaking of this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but envy again, when will it be possible to build like this with the power of the royal family.

Obviously, this Zhongmu and Zhongyang, which was encamped yesterday, are the second line of defense and the first line of defense west of Daliang respectively, which are about equivalent to Shiqiu and Huayang north of Xinzheng City, but compared to the two cities in South Korea that were broken by the Wei army, Zhongyang and Zhongmu are obviously much smaller, after all, the first two are cities, and the latter two are yi. However, the construction of these two cities by the Wei army does not seem to be worse than those of the two cities in Korea.

In fact, since Wei moved the capital to Daliang, Zhongmu has been faithfully performing the duties of the Liang barrier, since then a hundred years later, the Qin State is strong, seven times to attack the Liang five times to break through the Zhongmu, and two did not break through the Zhongmu, that is, Zhongmu blocked the Qin army's iron hooves, and the Qin army did not come to the city of Daliang.

The city of Zhongmu has also been preserved, and there is still Zhongmu County in Henan Province. However, it was Zhongyangyi, but it did not leave any traces in later generations.

Dinner was eaten in Zhongmuyi, because the entry into the city was delayed a little time, so the dinner was not eaten until it was completely dark.

Under the service of Qiao Nu, after dinner, he heard Tian Qian say that the bed and hot water for washing were ready, so Zhou Bian immediately enjoyed the beautiful little maid's foot washing.

The hot water seemed to wash away the fatigue of the day's carriage and horses, and after washing, Zhou Bian yawned and prepared to immediately fall down and go into sleep mode. Unexpectedly, he overheard that Qiaonu came to report, and Dr. Ning asked to see him outside the door.

Ning Yue's sudden visit at such a late hour, could it be something big? had to struggle to sit up from the bed, Zhou Bian immediately switched to Mingjun mode, and shouted, "See you Doctor Chuanning!" ”

The mansion where he rested at night was not big, and soon, footsteps sounded, and Ning Yue walked in accompanied by Fan Yu.

"Chen Ningyue see the king! His Majesty is guilty, and the unknown king has rested, so he dares to disturb, and the Ministers are terrified! If they learn that the king has been laid to rest, their subordinates will not dare to disturb him. As soon as he entered the door, Ning Yue bowed and saluted, obviously seeing the young man sitting on the edge of the bed.

Zhou Bian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't talk nonsense, isn't this king asleep yet!" What's the matter, come quickly! ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the minister suddenly remembered the Siyi that Han Hou ceded to my royal family, and I'm afraid some things have to be prepared in advance." Ning Yue replied.

Hearing Ning Yue's words, Zhou Bian's face became solemn, and after thinking about it carefully, two of these four yi are next to Wenyi in Hebei, which was newly plundered by South Korea from the royal family, and the two yils of Jiuli and Wushi are slightly larger, but they are also on the other side of Luoshui in Gongyi, quite close to Luoyang, for a while, Zhou Bian couldn't think of any problems, so Zhou Bian arched his hand and said, "Ning Qing, please speak!" ”

"The king, there is no problem with Han Hou cutting these four provinces, for South Korea, it is far from hurting the muscles and bones, but there are many factions in the Korean court, and I can't guarantee which faction has a grudge against my royal family, or it was originally instructed by Han Hou to plunder all the strong labor and grain and grass in the city before these four towns are ceded to my royal family, so as to avoid falling into the hands of my royal family." Ning Yue replied solemnly.

Zhou Bian lowered his head and thought about it when he heard this, and then raised his head and said, "What Ning Qing is worried about is not unreasonable, Han Hou signed an alliance the day before yesterday, and the Wei army quickly withdrew its troops yesterday. However, this king thinks that it is a bit arrogant to take away the prime of life, and Han Hou should know that as long as Wei Hou and my royal family are friends for a day, Wei Hou will support my royal family. But they plundered the grain and grass, and when the king heard you say this, he thought that there would definitely be, not only the grain and grass, but also the livestock. Can Ning Qing have a countermeasure? ”

Ning Yue shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Before dinner, my subordinates thought about this, so they thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't think of a countermeasure. His Majesty asked to see the king, but he just wanted to say that if Korea did plunder all the grain and grass in these four provinces, I was afraid that the rations of these tens of thousands of people would be the responsibility of our royal family, so, first, we had to ask for the recovery of the four towns before the autumn harvest, so that the loss would be less, and second, we should repay Bai Xiang and store more grain and grass in Luoyang for what was needed. ”

"What Ning Qing said is true, this king thought about it, and it can only be like this. In this way, it is already dark now, tomorrow morning, talk to General Banin, send someone back with a message, well, there is no need to tell Baning too much detail, just say that this king is in a hurry, and suddenly remembered that there is a winter dress that I didn't bring with me. Zhou Bian said after thinking about it.

"No! Your Majesty will arrange it tonight. There is another thing about the king, which is also related to these four yi, well, it is only related to the Wu clan. Ning Yue replied.

"What else?" Zhou Bian was a little curious.

"His Majesty estimates that this South Korea is only afraid that not only will the grain and grass be plundered, but most of the big families in these four towns will also be ordered to move to the Korean border. However, Jiuli and those two towns are small, except for some Koreans who are in charge, there is no major matter, and those Koreans will leave when they leave. However, in the Gou family, there is a Gou family, I wonder if the king has ever heard of the Gouluo? Ning Yue said.

"Falling?"

Zhou Bian frowned slightly, and quickly remembered, "Oh, this king heard Bai Xiang say that this Guiluo is indeed a big family of the Gui family, and after Queen Gui, he travels between Heluo and is a friend of Bai Xiang." In the past, the king led his troops into Songshan to train his troops, but he was sick by the mountain rain, so he went down the mountain to recuperate at his home. Later, the king invited him many times, but he couldn't see each other. ”

Since Zhou Bian had regarded Ning Yue as his own, he did not deliberately conceal some of his past deeds.

I saw Ning Yue arch his hand and said, "It is this person, but the Wu family has a huge property, not only does it trade between Heluo, but also has footprints all over the three rivers, and the carriages and horses go straight to Jingchu, which is not much worse than the Bai family in Luoyang in the past." Moreover, this person is good friends with Bai Gui, and Ning has heard Bai Gui say that if he is willing to enter the court, the doctor can easily get it. With such a person and such a family, Korea will definitely not be left to my royal family. ”

"Well, this king knows."

Zhou Bian nodded, "Tomorrow, let our people send a message to Bai Gui together, and ask him to persuade Luo Luo to move to Luoyang." I just don't know if this will agree? ”

"In the past, South Korea also invited the Gouluo, but it didn't pay attention to it, so the Gouluo has not agreed, and now the former friends have also paid homage to the prime minister in my royal family. Therefore, I thought that I could just let Bai Gui persuade him, otherwise, I could also say that I would move to Luoyang first, and after the Wu clan ceded to my royal family, I could let him return to the Wu family. Ning Yue said.

"That's fine." Zhou Bian nodded.

After deciding on these things, the monarch and the ministers said a few more words casually, and Ning Yue took his leave.

And Zhou Bian dragged his tired body and climbed into bed again, and began to try to fall asleep again, hey, the Jun mode is really consumed.

When they woke up the next day, they were marching again, and the Wei army rushed east like crazy. This is already the third day, did the Wei army get some anxious news, or has the march always been so fast? Zhou Bian didn't know, but Zhou Bian believed that as he spent more time in the Wei army, he would get an answer.

It's just that what Zhou Bian is most worried about right now is, can his four-wheeled carriage withstand such a rush? You must know that the chariots in the Wei army are all made with the army, Rao is like this, and there are chariots parked on the side of the road from time to time. On the first day, I could still see some small hills on the left-hand side, but on the second and third days, I saw endless plains, so the carriages and horses galloped faster.

This green plain, from time to time there is smoke rising from the small village on the side of the road, can not help but make people sigh, the Central China Plain, really rich since ancient times.

Along the way, the scenery is beautiful. It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that Zhou Bian realized that the worries about the carriage were superfluous, and it turned out that until sunset, when he saw a majestic city in front of him, the four-wheeled luxury carriage running from Luoyang had not had any problems, not even some squeaky sounds. It seems that Shen Buxian's craftsmanship is still good, and the copper shaft can still withstand the test, but I don't know if other four-wheeled carriages can do the same.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but pat the floor of the carriage, to follow the Wei army, I don't know the geometry of the road ahead, but take care!

The curtain in front of the carriage had been lifted by Qiao Nu, and sitting in the car, Zhou Bian could just see a shadow that had appeared in front of him, horizontal like a giant beast in front of him. At this time, Zhou Bian had already learned that it was the Daliang City that Wei was building on a large scale, Kaifeng in later generations, and Tokyo in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Seeing that it is getting closer and closer, the appearance of the giant beast is gradually becoming clear, bathed in the sunset on the west mountain, as if covered with a layer of golden veil, the wide city wall, and the tall city tower, all show that this huge city has a prototype, announcing to the world that this famous capital of later generations, Kaifeng, one of the five ancient capitals, has begun to show the first appearance of his life.

The road on the ground has turned from loess to a stone, and the wheels press on it to make a clicking sound, this Wei is really willing, there are still a few miles away from the girder and the stone road will begin to be paved, looking down, Zhou Bian couldn't help but silently feel ruthless in his heart, after returning to Luoyang, Luoyang will be like this, and it will be paved further.

Obviously, the construction of this Daliang City is an extremely huge project, with the national strength of Wei State, from the occupation of Fengze to start the plan, to now the city has begun to appear, it has been decades.

Walking forward, you can clearly see the city wall, the city tower, and even the busy craftsmen on the city wall, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the whip raised high in the hand of the foreman on the city wall, even can fall into the eyes.

I have to say that this is a great city, the closer it is, the deeper this sigh is, the girder city wall is more than three zhang high, the west city wall is more than three miles long, there are two city gates, each city gate has a high city tower, it is nearly three zhang higher than the city wall. A wide moat in front of the city wall was already filled with water, and the drawbridge in front of the city gate was firmly erected on the moat, apparently ready to meet its monarch Wei Hou.

This city, this pool, all show that it will be a strong defense force as the national capital, once this city is completed, if you want to capture it, it is really far beyond the reach of the army, Zhou Bian silently estimated it in his heart, but sadly found that under the condition that both sides have catapults, it is really difficult to take the beam.

In fact, as the capital of the Wei State, the Liang has always been known for its solidity, the Qin army swept across the Central Plains, but was repeatedly blocked under the Liang City, and finally Wang Ben had no choice but to lead the gap to flood the Liang, which broke the city, and thus opened the prelude to the many disasters and difficulties of the Kaifeng City of the Liang and even the later generations.

But Rao is like this, Wei is still the last of the three Jin Dynasty to perish, and for the Qi Chu and other countries behind him, blocking the Qin army's front for nearly ten years.

The gate of this Daliang City is much larger than that of Zhongmu, and there are two city gates, so although a large army enters the city, there is not much congestion. However, it still took half an hour for more than 20,000 Chinese troops to enter the city.

Zhou Bian entered the city with Wei Hou, because outside the city gate, Zhou Bian was invited by General Baning to Wei Hou's frame. Obviously, this is Wei Hou's showmanship.

Sure enough, before entering the city gate, Wei Hou began to boast about how tall the city was, how wide the streets in the city were, how the Wei army defeated the Chu army and captured Yiyi, and so on.

However, after entering the city with the Marquis of Wei, the sky was not completely dark, and sure enough, I saw that the street was straight and wide, and there were already many shops and houses on both sides, and it seemed that Wei had moved some people over. The further you go, the more popular it becomes, and there are already citizens standing on the side of the road pointing and pointing.

Soon, Zhou Bian made up his mind in his heart, although this beam is a new city, but the starting point is high, and there is a strong national strength of Wei as the backing, the future will inevitably be not lost to Luoyang and even Linzi City, the royal family wants to develop commerce, must occupy the commanding heights, it is necessary to arrange people to come over to grab the land first.

After walking for a few more miles, he saw the unfinished palace city in the twilight, and the Marquis of Wei naturally entered the palace city directly, and the people of the royal family were arranged in a completed palace outside the palace city. Putting away the shock and disbelief in his heart, after dinner, Zhou Bian fell asleep quickly, but fortunately no one came to disturb him this time.
