Chapter 198: Wei Zhao's gaze

Suddenly, hearing that Fan Yu suggest that the Taishi official be beheaded, Zhou Bian was also stunned, and when he looked back, he saw that several people behind him were all in agreement. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at Fan Yu with an angry face, Zhou Bian suddenly remembered that this Fan Yu's status is actually not low, the son of the young master, and he is also a son-in-law, although he has always followed him as a guard, but in fact, in his heart, he is still like those noble children, and he does not treat human life as a thing.

So Zhou Bian slowed down his steps and asked, "Why, is it because of the imperial historian's advice that the king should not fight, or is it that ethereal prophecy?" ”

Fan Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Both." ”

"Then what he said is indisputable, do you think it makes sense, and there is also the words of the Qin State that will be the overlord, do you believe it?"

Fan Yu shook his head, "I don't think it makes sense, and I don't believe it." ”

Zhou Bian turned his head to look at Bai Jian and the guards, and they all shook their heads.

"That's it, you don't believe it, it means that what he said is unreasonable, why should a person who is full of nonsense behead him?"

"However, although we do not believe, if it is preached, I am afraid that some people will still believe." Fan Yu said with some slush.

According to what the Tai Historian said, what his father said to Qin Hou seven years ago, but he has not heard any rumors so far, which shows that his family still knows that it is not publicized, and the same is true for Qin Hou, so there is no need to worry. As for what the Taishi Guan said, hehe, his remarks come from the Tao Te Ching, which has been circulated in the world for more than 100 years, could it be that we can stop its spread by killing him today? Zhou Bian smiled slightly.

"As long as our monarchs and ministers are united, why worry about the undefeated Korean army and the unprosperous royal family? Why should we care about what this family says? After that, Zhou Bian walked briskly first, indeed, after a busy afternoon, he was already hungry.

In the blink of an eye, another day passed, and the 100,000 Han soldiers who stayed in Gongyi didn't make much movement, could it be that a fire burned stupidly? Or is it too hot to walk? Zhou Bian shook his head, naturally none of them were either, Han Jun was either resting or brewing a big move.

In fact, at this time, Gongyi can no longer be called a yi, the city is full of charred houses, a desolation, and the Korean army only gathered near Gongyi to set up camp. The spies didn't dare to get closer, and they didn't know what the South Korean army was doing, so Zhou Bian had no choice but to order the spies to pay close attention to the movements of the South Korean army, while continuing to urge the training of troops and the arrangement of city defenses.

However, fortunately, the news of the arrival of the Han army in Gongyi spread in Luoyang City, and the tense atmosphere spread throughout the city, and the chaos and noise in the city were much smaller, which made Ning Yue's workload a lot smaller.

In the eyes of the princes and countries, although the royal family that returned to Luoyang did not attract much attention, the 100,000 Han troops still attracted a lot of attention.

"Your Majesty, it's too hot this day, and I suddenly want to mobilize 100,000 troops, I'm afraid that the sergeants will have a lot of emotions." In the small hall, the middle-aged man who was kneeling down looked at the low couch in the middle of the small hall with his eyes and said a little impatiently.

And on the low couch was lying a middle-aged man with a face, thin black silk draped over his body, and two beautiful young women behind him gently shook a big fan, very pleasant. And in front of the man in the gorgeous costume was an even more flamboyant girl dressed in tulle, holding a bowl of sailor and holding a spoon forward.

This middle-aged man with a square face is the Marquis of Wei, opened his mouth to take a spoonful of ice water from the girl, took a deep breath, and sat up, "Uncle, this day is indeed too hot, and the widow can't stand it if someone serves in this palace, let alone the soldiers of our army?" It's up to my uncle, and let the sergeants stand by in the camp. ”

can be called an uncle by Wei Hou, and can be so valued, it is natural that he meets Wei Xianggongsun when he is resting.

"The ministers thanked the sergeants. It's just that the king, has it really decided to attack Handan? Gongsun asked.

"Why not?" Wei Hou asked rhetorically, got up and walked down from the low couch, and knelt opposite Gongsun Acne, while the maid with a fan followed closely behind.

"Not really. It's just that after the minister went back, he thought about it repeatedly, that Zhao Guoxin was defeated by my Wei, and there is no greater benefit to attack it now, and Qi State, which is a big country in the East, was robbed by me at the beginning of the year to pay tribute to the royal family More than a dozen cars, although the goods are small, not worth a few dollars, but the Marquis of Qi has a big face, I am afraid that the Qi State will take advantage of my attack on Handan, send troops to help, and form a Qi and Zhao coalition army to resist our Wei State. And the king announced at the court meeting that he wanted to attack Handan, and there were rumors in the market of Anyi that day, and Zhao Hou and Qi Hou are afraid that they will know now, do we want to fight Handan again? According to the minister's opinion, if he continued to claim that he wanted to fight Handan, but instead attacked Linzi, anyway, according to the temper of the Marquis of Qi, there would be a battle between Wei and Qi. Gongsun said that his body leaned forward slightly.

Wei Hou narrowed his eyes, and after a deep sigh, he nodded, "It's indeed a good idea, but the widow thinks of something else." ”

"Well, something else? What else? "Gongsun was confused.

Putting down the ice water in his hand, Wei Hou looked up at the outside of the hall, "You said, on such a hot day, South Korea actually sent more than 100,000 people to besiege Luoyang, and I don't know how they moved under the scorching sun." ”

Gongsun Yan didn't keep up with the rhythm of Wei Hou for a while, so he had to echo casually, "Yes, it's still the king's wisdom and wisdom to make me stand by in the big military camp, otherwise how can I march and fight in such a hot field?" ”

Wei Hou then smiled, "The widow has ordered his subordinates to closely monitor the movements of the Han army, in your opinion, can Luoyang be defended?" ”

Gongsun shook his head, but then nodded again, "The royal family is weak and is not an opponent of the Han army, but Gongyi won a big victory some time ago, and I am afraid that there are capable generals comparable to Sun Wu in the royal division." ”

Speaking of this, Wei Hou's eyes suddenly became stern, "It is rumored that the person's name is Pang Xing." ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

At the same time, in the city of Handan, in the huge palace complex, on a small building surrounded by green trees, two men sat opposite each other, and several maids played fans in a circle.

One of the men, dressed in a simple white robe, was the first to speak, "Your Majesty, after Guo Zong heard the news, he immediately rushed here. I heard that this time Wei Hou wants to be unfavorable to my Zhao State, it is all because of my Guo family, this is all the fault of my Guo family, if there is any way to make up for it, my Guo family will not hesitate. ”

It turned out that this middle-aged man dressed in simple clothes was the largest ironsmith in the world, Guo Zong, the head of the Guo family.

"Hehe, you've said it." The tall man in a fancy costume who sat on top of him spoke.

This is today's Zhao Hou, a single name and a kind of word, it has been ten years since he ascended the throne, it is the prime of life, and he is quite proud with a smile, but he is not like a prince.

"Erzhi Guo family, the family heirloom iron armor in the world, not to mention how many weapons have been provided for me Zhao Rui, just the profits and taxes obtained from selling the world are a lot with my Zhao family. Don't talk about these, don't talk about these, the Guo family of Er, it is my Zhao people, if someone else dares to fight the idea of the Er family, it is to get along with my Zhao someone, my Zhao country is located in the north of the Taihang Mountain, if even a Zhao person can not be protected, how to face the people of the world, and how to compete with the princes of other countries for hegemony? ”

"Guo Mou, thank you here, this time the Wei army is attacking, my Guo family is willing to donate another 500 iron swords and 1,000 iron spears to strengthen my Zhao Rui!"

Zhao Hou's eyes lit up suddenly, "But the iron spear used by the Luoyang soldiers?" ”

Guo Zong shook his head, "No, it's a pity." ”

Zhao Hou's eyes narrowed, although it was a hot day in June, a cold aura spread in the small building.

Guo Zong hurriedly waved his hand, "Your Excellency misunderstood, if it wasn't for Guo's refusal to offer a sharp iron spear, I really didn't have it." This time, I came to tell you that the iron spear used by the Luoyang soldiers was not cast by my Guo family, and it was sold to Luoyang because of the Zhou royal family. ”

"Then which one cast it, and why did the Guo family take it on their bodies?" Zhao Hou was puzzled.

"Luoyang royal family, this kind of iron spear is indeed made by the Luoyang royal family. A certain family walks the world, which iron I have to pay attention to, but I didn't want to see the iron spear used by the Luoyang soldiers, its sharpness is far greater than that of my Guo family, and it is far more than any iron in the world, a certain joy, first of all, I want people to investigate, I don't want the royal family to guard it very tightly, my people can't get close, and don't dare to act recklessly, I discussed with my eldest brother, decided to cooperate with the royal family, the Zhou royal family made iron spears, I distributed the world for it, which can not only reduce the pressure on the Zhou royal family, but also make me profitable, In particular, this kind of iron spear and iron sword can be supplied to the king first, so I took advantage of Luoyang's offense by the Han army, sent people to contact it, and tried all means, and the royal family really agreed that week. ”

"Well, well done." Zhao Hou nodded, "But what about the iron spear?" Now it is not the Guo family that relieves the pressure for it, but my Zhao family relieves the pressure for it, but the widow has not even seen a sharp iron spear, but why? ”

"This is really Guo's fault, and I can't explain it clearly for you." As he spoke, Guo Zong took out a spear tip from his arms and handed it to both hands.

After taking it, Zhao Hou grinned, "One top bird?" ”

"A certain word has not yet been finished, this is just the Zhou royal family first used to set the style, and each branch will be no worse than this one in the future. It's just that now the Zhou royal family can't supply iron tools in large quantities. ”

"Why?" Zhao Hou narrowed his eyes again.

"It is reported that 100,000 Han troops are besieging Luoyang, and the Zhou royal family is too busy to take care of themselves, how can they cast iron tools for me? originally wanted to share the pressure for the Zhou royal family, but unexpectedly, he recruited 100,000 Korean troops for the Zhou royal family. Guo Zong smiled bitterly.

"Oh, no one knows about it, but I didn't expect to come here just now. Alas, the Zhou royal family had just recaptured Luoyang, but it was in trouble again. I wanted to help, but there was a gap between Han and Wei, but how could I get it, alas, the widow had to wait and see what happened, I hope the Zhou royal family can survive this hurdle, otherwise, your Guo family's business will be yellow. ”

"Your Majesty, Guo believes that the royal family will be safe and sound that week." Guo Zong's eyes revealed a firmness, which was a vision that had been cultivated in the business for a long time, and Guo Zong was confident that these eyes had never been wrong.

"How so?"

"Your Majesty, today Zhou Tianzi has only been on the throne for two years, only ten years old, he can be on the throne less than a year, lead the royal family back to Luoyang, less than two years, he can lead the king to defeat the weak and the strong to win more with less, and defeat 20,000 Han troops in Luoshui, if it is not for the Zhou king's divine wisdom, that is, the Zhou royal family has capable people to assist, therefore, Guo thought that not to mention 100,000 Korean troops, even if it is 200,000, it is difficult to capture Luoyang, and South Korea is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and 100,000 soldiers do not dare to besiege Luoyang for a long time, and the Zhou royal family will be unharmed."

"Well, that's right. The widow has ordered the scouts to pay close attention to the attack and defense of Luoyang, then my monarch and ministers are here to wait for news, hehe, come and taste the ice water hidden in my palace, I am afraid that it is much cooler than your Guo family. Zhao Hou said with a smile.

"That's nature, Xiaomin's ice cellar, how can it be compared to the office. Thank you! Guo Zong also laughed.

The atmosphere of the Wei and Zhao families is quite relaxed, although Luoyang has attracted the attention of the princes of the world for the first time in a hundred years, but in the eyes of these princes, it is not like watching a play, who can understand the tension in the hearts of the parties in Luoyang, without experiencing it, it is far from being experienced.

In the two days after Zhou Bian returned to Luoyang from Gongyi, the Han army had been standing still in Gongyi, except for sending a few small troops to explore around Luoyang, the farthest only reached Chengzhou, but he did not even enter the city gate of Chengzhou, and returned to Gongyi after going around the city a few times.

It was another day, and the tension in Luoyang City became more and more intense, and the army pressed the border but did not come to attack, which was the most tense, just like the students of later generations who suddenly heard that the final exam was postponed.

And in this tense atmosphere, Luoyang City suddenly crossed a person from the south bank of Luoshui, and the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to open the door, and called the chief of the city to see that it was actually a doctor from the court, who hurriedly put down the basket and hung the man from under the city.

When the news reached the palace, Zhou Bian was having dinner and hurriedly dropped his chopsticks, "Who is back?" ”

"Back to the king, it is Wang Sunman, who was detained by the envoy Handu Xinzheng, and the doctor Man."

(I came back late last night, and there was no update, so I tried to make up for two more today.) )
