Next, Wang Ping went on to talk about what happened in Luoyang, but there was nothing special, in general, under the governance of Taishi and Bai Gui, Luoyang is currently developing according to the established trajectory, or post-war recovery, which Zhou Bian is very satisfied with, and he finally has no trust to non-people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Accompanied by Wang Ping, there was naturally a cart of bamboo slips, letters from the Luoyang Palace and the ministers. After all, this is the second time I have written a letter, and although this time there are naturally not as many as the last time, it is still quite a lot, occupying a four-wheeled carriage. So today Zhou Bian didn't go to play, nor did he practice swords, but spent effort to read the letter.

There was no play, naturally it was also to express a silent tribute to General Pang Xing.

It is still Fan Yu and the two little maids who are serving, and the first thing to see is the letter from the palace that was specially selected, saying that it is a letter from the palace, but in fact, it is the letter of the queen mother, because the other maids in the palace will not write to themselves, and the other princes basically do not live in the palace, and they will never write letters to themselves, which was the case last time. Unexpectedly, this time there was not only a letter from the Queen Mother, but also a letter from Concubine Liu.

Only then did Zhou Bian suddenly remember that he actually had a nominal princess.

The letters of the two are full of longing, and the queen mother's letter naturally has more content, that is, everything is normal in the Luoyang court, I hope Wang Er can rest assured, don't worry.

Putting down the letter, Zhou Bian couldn't help but see the voices and smiles of the two of them in front of his eyes, this should be the feeling of relatives, in addition to writing letters when he was in college in his previous life, he could also make phone calls, and now it is already very good to have a letter to read, and it is also the emperor's family or a wealthy family who has this ability, otherwise it is like that Pang Juan who has been away from home for two years and has no news, which is an extremely common thing in this era.

After putting aside the letters of these two people alone, Zhou Bian took the letters of the ministers and read them, naturally starting with the Taishi and Bai Xiang.

Naturally, they don't have much to think about, but more about official reports, the current resumption of construction in Luoyang, the resumption of industrial production, and some things that happened in the court or in the market.

I have heard Wang Ping say many things in this, from this point of view, Wang Ping is also a capable person, and it took a lot of effort to choose him to replace Wang Sunman's job.

But when he saw Bai Gui's words next, Zhou Bian couldn't help but applaud the case. This passage reads:

"Report to the king, in the past, there were many people who defended the city, those who joined the army and served as the husband of the people, the king was merciful, and promised to pay money, but the treasury was insufficient, so he had to believe in simplicity, and when the royal treasury was full in the coming day, he would redeem it, but recently there were merchants in the city, and he collected the letter sent by my royal family at a low price, and left it for later redemption."

"His Majesty thought that this move could be connived, first, it could alleviate the money of those who served the royal family in the past, and second, it could communicate the relationship between the businessmen and my royal family, so His Majesty asked the Queen Mother to grant permission. In order to prevent someone from imitating the letter to deceive the merchants, the ministers authorized the company for them to check, and in order to prevent the people from copying the letters, take one of them to exchange money from the merchants, and when the royal family lets go of the money, then take another letter to cash first, and make my royal family lose faith in the merchants, and the ministers specially invite the king, when the next day to redeem the money, first open three days for the merchants to redeem money, and then for the people to redeem money, so as to avoid the people succeeding. No, please give the king's instructions! ”

After reading this paragraph, put down the bamboo slips, Zhou Bian really couldn't help but shout a few times, it turned out that Bai Gui and they were also aware of all kinds of problems, and they also thought of a way to deal with it, that is, let the merchant redeem the money first, which completely avoided this problem, and saved time and effort.

For this recital, Zhou Bian naturally wrote a reply and quickly wrote a reply.

Next is the letters from the ministers, which are nothing more than work reports, and there is nothing unusual about them. But Rao is like this, except for the meal time, he didn't finish reading it until the evening.

That night, Fan Yu was instructed to burn all the letters on the second day, which was also to prevent Wei Hou from paying attention, of course, the Queen Mother's family letter was still kept.

Woke up the next day, stretched his waist, but the sun was already high, looking for someone to ask, Wang Ping had already embarked on the return journey with a reply, it seemed that this time it was not an acquaintance, and Wei Hou was too lazy to take care of it.

At the same time, what is somewhat abnormal is that the Wei army did not move today, and the result of Su Rui's inquiry seems to be that the Wei army has a day off. Thinking about it, after so many days of fighting in one breath, it's time to rest.

At the same time, in the hilly area east of Hangu in the west of Luoyang, there is a horse galloping between the mountain and forest paths, even if the terrain is complicated, but this majestic galloping horse is not afraid at all, trekking through mountains and rivers, such as walking on the ground, galloping in general, whistling through, leaving the Hangu Xiongguan far behind, and the west gate of Luoyang, it seems to be already in sight.

On this fast horse, there is a knight holding the reins, his hands are still tightly wrapped around the horse's neck, and his legs are tightly clamped between the horse's belly.

But if you can zoom in closer, you can see that the knight's face is miserable, clenching his teeth, as if he is enduring great pain. Indeed, wearing open crotch pants, riding on the back of a horse with only one layer of mat, this cloth mat is only padded, not fixed, and the worst thing is that the horse is still galloping. On the back of a horse with bumps up and down, open crotch pants, in addition to always paying attention to not being thrown down by the horse, you should also pay attention to the cloth pad under the butt does not fall, can the butt still feel good?

If you are a modern person, you will feel a chill when you think about it, sitting on horseback with a bare butt, what is it like? But in this pre-Qin era, there was no saddle and no stirrups, so if you wanted to ride a horse, you could only get along with your buttocks, so in this era, there was no cavalry as a troop, and the most popular thing was the horse chariot.

If there is no emergency, who would go horseback riding in pursuit of speed and time? So obviously, this knight is tasked with delivering extremely important news, so what kind of news will this be, and what kind of results will it bring?

These questions were obviously not of the knight's concern, and looking at the rising sun in front of him, the knight gritted his teeth and slapped the horse's ass with a whip. There was a neigh, and the horse sped up a few more points.

With the rising sun, in the north of Xinzheng City, there was silence in the Wei camp, and the Wei army did not dispatch, which made Xinzheng City breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the fact that the Wei army did not move did not mean that there was no movement in the Wei camp, and at this time, in the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, there were full of generals sitting in a group.

The one who sat on the main seat was naturally the Marquis of Wei, and after looking around, he only heard what he said.

"Today, our army is resting and recuperating, and we will bring in the generals, but we will arrange the strategy behind it. Although Xinzheng has no natural danger, as the capital of Han, it is still difficult to capture for a while. In the past two days, the widow has discussed with Sima Cuo and General Fan, and decided to change the battle strategy, set a plan to besiege Xinzheng and uproot the four stops. ”

When Wei Hou's words landed, the king next to him stood up, first saluted Wei Hou, and then bowed to the generals under the tent, and then cleared his throat and said loudly.

"Generals, in a few days, you can find that this Xinzheng City is difficult to capture for a while, the king has discussed with General Fan and Wang, and decided not to attack the city in the past ten days, but to divide the troops everywhere, sweep the Shanshi, Xunze and Maling around Xinzheng, and feint to attack Xincheng and Yangzhai City. In this way, first, we can sweep the surroundings of Xinzheng, second, our army can get rest, and third, we can also put pressure on Xinzheng Han. Do you have any questions? ”

After Wang Cuo finished speaking, he glanced at it, but all the generals applauded, yes, attacking some small towns is not only easy, but also sweeping some grain and grass, why not do it.

Seeing that no one was suspicious, Wang Cuo nodded with satisfaction.

"Since you all think that it is feasible, then the arrangements have begun, and the generals who have been ordered must capture the designated cities within the predetermined time, and the guides in the army are ready. Listen, everybody. ”

The next thing is naturally a series of arrangements in the army, which are made by Wang Cuo one by one, and the generals who were pointed out immediately stood up and hugged their fists and said yes, the whole process lasted for half an hour, in an orderly manner, and it seems that Wang Cuo's prestige in the army is not small.

After arranging them one by one, Wang Cuo turned around and bowed to Wei Hou and said, "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged properly, please show your superiors." ”

Wei Hou nodded and straightened up, "You guys act according to the plan, don't delay, whether my Great Wei can dominate the world, I care about this Xinzheng City, I hope you will work together!" ”

"No, obey the king's orders!" All the generals in the tent bowed down in unison and replied.

Wei Hou beckoned with satisfaction and motioned for the generals to salute.

Then Wei Hou craned his neck and looked up, "Baning, is Baning here?" ”

Hearing the call of the Marquis of Wei, the generals in the tent also looked around, and at this time, almost next to the tent door, a young general hurriedly ran out and half-knelt in the tent, "Your Majesty, the last general is here." "This time, Wei Hou summoned all the generals, and only limited to captains and above, so although Baning was not a general of the combat army, he also came to the commander's tent.

After Baning saluted, Wei Hou nodded, "That Ji Bian Xiao'er hasn't been in battle to watch the battle for the past few days, why is he hiding in the camp?" ”

However, before Baning could answer, Wang Cuo took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will let the rest of the generals take the lead and retreat, how about it?" ”

Wei Hou nodded. Soon, under the wave of Wang Cuo's hand, the generals in the tent left one after another, and in addition to the guards, only the Marquis of Wei, Wang Cuo and Nabaning were left.

"General Banin, say it." The king said wrongly.

"No, go back to the king. That Zhou Jun got up at the turn of the hour and the hour every day, and after breakfast, he either practiced sword practice with his son Fan Yu, or practiced spear practice with centurion Su Rui, and rested at noon, until Shen Shi got up, then hid in the camp in the newly built big tent, and only came out after dark, practiced sword practice and then slept. This is true for several days. Banin replied with a bow.

Translated into modern language, King Zhou got up at about nine o'clock in the morning, rested again at eleven o'clock, got up at three o'clock in the afternoon, and hid in the big tent until dark.

As soon as he heard this, Wei Hou smiled, "Zhou Jun is really still a child, he only knows how to play every day, and the widow is relieved." ”

"You must not do this!" As soon as Wei Hou's words fell, Wang Cuo's voice rang out.

Wei Hou turned his eyes when he heard the voice, and saw that Wang Cuo suddenly bowed down and stood in front of him, but he listened to him continue, "Your Majesty, Zhou Junfang is only a ten-year-old child, and he knows that he practices swords every day, his ambition is not small, his heart will not be low, and the king must not be guarded against. ”

Hearing Wang Cuo say this, Wei Hou frowned, but after all, he waved his hand, "Aiqing has said it, a ten-year-old child practices swords, but it's just a joke, why care!" ”

"Your Majesty, practicing swords is cultivating martial arts, and cultivating martial arts will lead to conquest, and your subordinates think that they cannot be ignored." Wang Cuo insisted.

"Aiqing has said it, practicing swords, strengthening the body, but the courage of the horseman, can be filled with the captain of the battle array, even for the general, it is slightly insufficient, let alone for the king? If Aiqing is so worried, when she returns to Anyi, the widow will serve her with a gourmet girl to extinguish her will? Wei Hou's tone was a little displeased.

"Your Majesty has no objections, and the king is wise." Hearing Wei Hou's tone, Wang Cuo already knew that this was the greatest acceptance Wei Hou could make. In fact, Wei Hou, who had just ascended to the throne, was still a little bit involved with being good at admonishment and wise martial arts at this time, but perhaps even Wang Cuo didn't notice that arbitrariness had already sprouted at this time, and Wang Cuo would never have thought that it would blossom and bear fruit in the future, and Wei Hou would eventually swallow the evil fruit planted by his own hands.

At this time, seeing that Wang Cuo had no objections, Wei Hou nodded with satisfaction, "But what the widow cares about is that Zhou Jun built a big tent in the Zhou camp and hid in it for several hours every day?" What is it that should cover the eyes and ears of men? This matter needs attention. ”

"What the king said is very true." Wang Cuo bowed again, then turned around and asked Baning.

"General Banin, do you know what was in Zhou Jun's tent and what he was doing in it? Why avoid people's eyes and ears? ”

Baning shook his head, "This last general really doesn't know, some time ago, Zhou Jun sent someone to ask for a tarpaulin, saying that he wanted to set up another tent, and after the last general asked the king for permission and agreed, he promised him a lot. But I don't know why it's used, after it set up a big tent, the last general also asked, but Dr. Zhou Ning said that the matter of the Son of Heaven is not enough for outsiders, and the king has also said that there is no need to be too dry about the affairs of the Zhou camp, so the last general does not know what the Zhou Jun's big tent is for. ”

"What do you think of this big tent?" Wei Hou turned his head and asked Wang Wrong.

"Back to the king, the subordinates can't guess. It is rumored in Luoyang that the burning of alcohol salts and iron spears, and even the catapults were all created by Zhou Jun, perhaps this is true, and Zhou Jun is acting in the tent, is he creating any equipment? If this is the case, I am afraid that this weapon is not small, and it will not be beneficial to our army. Wang Cuo arched his hand.

"Well, that makes sense." Wei Hou nodded. "Banin!"

"The last general!" Hearing Wei Hou's whirring, Baning hurriedly put his legs together and replied loudly.

"Baning, the widow ordered you to lead someone to break into the camp of the Zhou Chamber, break into the big tent, and see what that Ji Bian child is doing." Wei Hou's tone was resolute and unquestionable.

Baning hurriedly gave another military salute and said loudly, "No, Your Majesty obeys the order!" ”

But I heard that Wei Hou said slowly, "Remember, under the slogan of caring for the king of the Zhou family, claiming to be worried about what danger Zhou Jun has in the big tent, understand?" ”

(Due to objective reasons, there will be a break in the update, but it will not be a eunuch, thank you!) ）
