In the middle of Zhengdu City, in a magnificent palace, Han Hou sat on it, this is a middle-aged man with a plain appearance, his eyes slightly closed on his slightly tired face, as if he was having a headache, and seemed to be thinking deeply. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the high seat, there was a young man who kept talking about something, and after half a sound, Han Hou finally waved his hand impatiently, and immediately a waiter came forward and made a gesture of invitation to the young man.

After the young man left, Han Hou opened his eyes, "Ladies and gentlemen, you all listened to what Gongzi Deng said, right?" So what do you think? ”

Immediately, an old minister flashed out and arched his hand, "Your Majesty, Deng Gongzi's words are absolutely unbelievable. If it weren't for the Deng family in Luoyang, the royal family would not be able to return to Luoyang, and Zhou Gongban was assassinated in Gongyi, which is said to be inseparable from the Deng family. Now he came to ask the king to send troops to recapture Luoyang for the Duchy of Zhou, but it didn't make sense to be in love and courtesy, so the old minister thought that there must be other conspiracies in this, and our Korean army was newly defeated by Wei, and it was unbearable to fight again, so the king must not listen to this person's words and send troops to Luoyang. ”

Han Hou nodded slightly when he heard this. At this time, another young general jumped out and said, "Father, Han Zhao thinks that although Deng Gongzi's people are not credible, it is still feasible to send troops to Luoyang." Deng Gongzi said, the royal family has a new iron-making square, and the tip of the spear created is abnormally sharp, even the bronze shield can be pierced with one shot, which is true, I have also asked someone to inquire about Luoyang, many Luoyang old soldiers have said that they have seen it, but the royal army was not equipped later, presumably for fear of attracting the attention of others, and hid again. Therefore, according to Han Zhao's view, he can send troops to Luoyang and force the royal family to hand over the formula, if my Han gets this method and creates a large number of sharp weapons, he will definitely be able to avenge the new defeat of Wei and dominate the world. "This person is the general of the Han army who led the troops to ransack the suburbs of Chengzhou, Gongzizhao, Han Hou's concubine.

Han Hou's eyes lit up when he heard this, but before Han Hou could speak, another minister jumped out again, "Your Majesty, Minister Han Chao thinks that Gongzi's words are not advisable. Our army is newly defeated, and it cannot be moved, and Luoyang City is so large that it cannot be surrounded by 50,000 troops. After all, the royal family is orthodox, and it is not to be taken lightly. And the iron-smelting recipe is ethereal, and the iron spears used by the royal family's soldiers are only heard, perhaps the defeated soldiers of the old Zhou Gong deliberately exaggerated their defeats to cover up their defeats, and it is impossible to say, even if there is really an iron spear, it may be that the royal family bought it from elsewhere, and now no one is sure that the royal family must have a prescription. Isn't it, Childe? "This Han Chao is Han Hou's cousin, and he also has real power in South Korea, but he doesn't deal with Gongzizhao very much.

Gongzi Zhao was naturally unconvinced, "Where do you want an army of 50,000, my 20,000 soldiers have been guarding against Chu in the south, and they have not been injured in Wusui, just transfer it back, it is indeed an exaggeration to say that Luoyang can be defeated, but it can scare the royal family into compromise, but there is still no doubt." As for the iron-making formula, since I dare to say it in front of the king, there is naturally definite news. And the reason for attacking the royal family is even easier to find, wasn't the son of Zhou Weigong Gongzi Ban supported by us in Gongyi, and then driven away by Zhou Gongban and the royal family? Although I don't know where this person is now, but we raise his banner to restore the country for the Principality of Zhou, so the name of the teacher is also there. Although he is not talented, he is willing to lead 20,000 soldiers under his command to kill Luoyang directly. ”

Han Hou was obviously a little moved, but after thinking about it, he frowned again, and turned to the other minister, "Gongsun Qi, what do you think?" ”

Gongsun Qi was originally a doctor of Wei, when the last Wei Hou died, the two Wei princes competed for the throne, Gongsun Qi's supporters failed, and so on to the current Wei Hou ascended the throne, Gongsun Qi fled to South Korea, said that Han Hou sent troops to sneak attack, and Zhao soldiers surrounded Wei Anyi, almost wiped out Wei, but in the end because Han and Zhao did not agree with each other, Han Hou withdrew his troops overnight in a fit of anger, and now Wei Hou was able to take a breath, but then he rectified the Wei State, and finally defeated the Han army in Wusui not long ago, and held the revenge of the sneak attack that day. However, Gongsun Qi stayed in Zhengdu and became Han Hou's right-hand man.

I saw Gongsun Qi think about it slightly, and then arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thought that he could go out of Luoyang, but not now." Regardless of whether the Zhou royal family has an iron-making recipe in their hands or not, the land of Luoyang is sandwiched between the north and south of our Korea, so it must be controlled in our hands. But now if you send troops, the division will be nameless, and the banner of the child's class is easy to fight, but what if it really succeeds in taking Luoyang? What should we do if the people of Luoyang ask us for a son-in-law class? Therefore, the top priority is to find the son's class and play the banner of recovering the principality of Zhou, so that he can send troops to Luoyang in a bright and bright manner, and the act of recovering the country is the overlord of Qi Huan and Jinwen. Therefore, the minister thought that he could make preparations first, and it would not be too late to send out the division after the recovery of our South Korean army next year. ”

"Well, that's right." Han Hou nodded, when it comes to the business of the overlord, who is not impressed? But what Gongsun Qi said is indeed reasonable, Gongzizhao is too radical, let's wait until a large army can be deployed. Thinking that Han Hou raised his eyes and looked at the following, he suddenly saw his beloved son, Wu, and couldn't help but move in his heart, and asked, "What does Wu'er think?" ”

Han Wu is Han Hou's son-in-law, naturally he was trained as a successor since he was a child, about the age of a teenager, and when he saw that he was asked, he replied, "Father, son-in-law and Gongsun have the same opinion, this battle of Wusui my Han soldiers were defeated too badly, if according to what Gongzi said, 20,000 people attacked Luoyang, I am afraid that Luoyang has not been surrounded, Qi Wei and other countries will send troops to come, what will I do in Korea at that time?" Therefore, the sons thought that the royal family was a big matter, if they didn't fight, if they wanted to fight, they had to take it down quickly, and if it was too late, it would change, so it would be after the reorganization of our Korean soldiers in the coming year. ”

"Okay, that's right." Han Hou couldn't help but shout twice in a row when he heard this, obviously very satisfied, "Just according to what Wu'er said, let's stay in the coming year." But Zhao'er, you are familiar with Luoyang, you said that this son's class escaped, how can you get it back? ”

"There are many people under my command who recognize the son's class, and they go to Anyi, Linzi and other places separately, so they must be able to find them." Childe said in a hurry, alas, if a person really wants to hide, how can he find it?

"The minister has a plan." But it was Gongsun Qi who jumped out, "Your Majesty, the Gongzi class is originally on good terms with my Korea, as long as I send a word from South Korea, saying that I intend to be like the Duke of Qi Huan and Jin Wengong and help the destroyed vassal states to restore the country, then the Gongzi class should be able to find it by itself." ”

"Okay, just according to what Aiqing said. That's it. Han Hou was in a good mood, and the haze of Han Bing's new defeat seemed to be gone.

After the court meeting dispersed, all the ministers were busy going to each other, Gongzi Wu also returned to his house outside the palace, after entering the door, Gongzi Wu first walked to the backyard, a middle-aged man in the backyard was reading a book while waiting, seeing Gongzi Wu walking in happily, he got up and saluted, "Your Highness, how is the court today?" ”

Gongzi Wu sat down with a butt, "Shen is not harmful, what you teach is really good, my father was very happy to hear it, and said hello twice." Saying that, Gongzi Wu casually took a few fruits and ate them.

"Hehe, that's a good dare. But Your Highness, is Han Hou sending troops or not? Shen Buxian said with a smile.

"Send troops, you must send troops." Gongzi Wu smiled, "It's just in the coming year, this year, my Han soldiers are newly defeated, and I can't find any Gongzi class of Zhou Gong, so I can only wait until next year." But Shen is harmless, I still don't understand, why do I say the opposite thing with my son, and the monarch will be happy? ”

"You don't know this, and listen to me, you are going to be Han Hou in the future, if you go along with your brother and son now, I am afraid that your monarch will think that you are used to obeying him, so that you will be controlled by others in the future, this is one of them. Second, in the previous Wusui War, the prince did not move, which has already made your monarch unhappy, so no matter what he says, your monarch will not be very happy, if you say the same opinion as him at this time, it will not be adopted by your monarch, it is better to be contrary to what he said, but it is possible to win the favor of your monarch. Third, Gongzi Zhao has military power, but you don't, although you are the son-in-law, but you can guarantee that he will not disagree, so disagreeing with him, it seems that you have unique ideas and are not inferior to Gongzi Zhao who has led soldiers, and won Han Hou's attention. ”

"You have a lot to say, but whether it is better to send troops or not to send troops now, I don't know a little." Gongzi Wu shook his head.

"I have already analyzed this for His Highness, and each has its own benefits. So Childe can say whatever he wants. Don't worry, Your Highness, the minister is good for His Highness, I was a lowly minister of the old Zheng State, I have always been looked down upon, but I am valued by His Highness, His Highness's kindness, I can only repay the lowly minister with all my strength. Shen Buxian said and saluted.

"Alright, I know." Gongzi Wuman waved his hand nonchalantly, threw down a fruit pit, and began to look for the next fruit entrance again.

Zhou Bian, who was far away in Luoyang, naturally had no idea about these high-level things in South Korea, and the spies urgently sent to South Korea had just hit the road, but even if the spies were in place, it would be difficult to find out the discussions of these high-level leaders, but these were not important, Zhou Bian only needed to know whether the South Korean army had moved, whether the grain and grass had moved, and that was fine.

Later, Jiang Ping's channels also spread rumors back from the streets and alleys of Zhengdu, and many people were saying that Han Hou wanted to restore the country for the fallen princes, and what he did was no wind and no waves, but he was afraid that Han Hou was really tempted. Perished princes? Now in the middle of the Warring States Period, the annexation between the princes is almost over, and if you want to say that it has just been destroyed, there is only the Duchy of Zhou that was sealed in Luoyang, hum, Zhou Bian snorted coldly, this Han Hou, it is better to directly say that he wants to restore the country for the Duke of Zhou.

However, the pressure also followed, South Korea is a strong country, one of the seven heroes in the summary of later generations, with hundreds of thousands of armor, and the royal family, there are only 10,000 soldiers, and the difference in strength is too great. I didn't know when Han Hou would send his troops, and Zhou Bian's sense of urgency became deeper and deeper, so he had to go out in person, urging the training of troops and repairing the city wall every day.

Alas, if you can find a way to probe Han Hou's tone, or if you can delay Han Hou's dispatch of troops or even make him change his mind. This question is also what Zhou Bian thinks about the most every day, but he has never been able to grasp the essentials, and Wang Sunman, who was sent to Wei, has not yet returned, and I don't know what kind of attitude the Marquis of Wei has towards the Zhou royal family? If you don't send a messenger to the country of Qi, but listening to what the dead brother Wang said, this Qi Marquis is quite hypocritical, and he will not do anything that is not beneficial. And Han Hou did not openly say that he was going to attack Luoyang, so it was difficult to ask for help from other vassal states.

Alas, the time is too urgent, it would be nice if I could give me a few more years of development, although there is no land, but the royal family can be rich in business, and if you have money, you are afraid that you will not be able to find soldiers. Just came back from the barracks, Zhou Bian lay down on the low couch tiredly, but just closed his eyes, but heard a waiter report, "King, Doctor Man is back and is outside the palace gate, do you want to invite a visit?" ”

Ah, Doctor Man, it's Wang Sunman who has returned from Wei, so of course I want to see you. Zhou Bian immediately sat up and said in a deep voice, "Xuan! ”
