After entering Luoyang City, Wang Sunman's carriage ran wildly again, bringing up a cloud of dust and scolding along the street, and the carriage appeared in front of the palace at the fastest speed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was no obstacle to entering the palace, and after a while, Wang Sunman knelt in the main hall, in front of the king.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has failed to fulfill the King's command. The Korean army outside the city has disappeared, only an empty camp remains, and the Korean camp is in chaos, and many tents have not been put away and left in place, which shows that the Korean army left in a hurry. His Majesty searched carefully, but did not find any indication of why and where Han Jun left. His Majesty thought that it was a big deal that the Han army was missing, so he hurried back. ”

"Doctor Man, please get up, this king already knows about this matter, and Doctor Man will discuss it with the ministers, what does Han Jun want? Doctor Man, let's sit down first. The voice of the young man sounded softly.

Wang Sunman raised his head suspiciously, and sure enough, he saw that the king's face was as usual, and there was no surprise on his face. And in this hall, in addition to the king and himself, there are also a number of ministers such as Taishi and Young Master Bai Gui, twenty or thirty people are there, but he didn't notice it because he was anxious when he just hurried in.

After thanking him, Wang Sunman got up and quickly found his seat and sat down on his knees. As soon as he sat down, he heard the king's voice again.

"Doctor Man, a quarter of an hour ago, this king received a report from a spy outside the city, saying that before dawn, the Korean army suddenly sent troops in all directions, swept around a few miles outside the Han camp, and almost all the spies outside my city were caught and killed, only one spy hid in the tree, but did not dare to jump down, until after dawn boldly went down the tree, but found that the Han army had all retreated, and went to the Han camp to confirm, and quickly ran back. When the king learned the news, he already knew that Doctor Man would return in vain, but it was too late to chase after him. I wonder what the doctor saw in the Korean camp? The spy was in a hurry to report back, but he didn't see it clearly. ”

It turned out that this was the case, no wonder that all the ministers in the palace, including the king, did not have a look of surprise on their faces, it turned out that everyone already knew.

After recalling it carefully, Wang Sunman spoke, "Back to the king, some of the camp tents in the Han camp are staggering, some have been put down and stepped on the ground, and some have been put away and packed, but they have been thrown on the ground at will and not taken away, the stoves have been knocked down, and some of the stoves still have residual temperature, and there are no handsome tents, and those that are still left in the camp are ordinary camp tents, well, there are no weapons and other leftovers, and the grain and grass have also been burned, and the ministers have just been burned when they arrive." Other than that, nothing else was seen. His Majesty didn't know why the Han army retreated in a hurry, could it be that Korea was attacked by other princes? Or is there a change in South Korea? ”

Hearing Wang Sunman's words, Zhou Bian nodded, although the Han army retreated in a hurry, it was certain that there was still a certain degree of organization, otherwise the campfire would not be extinguished, the grain would not be burned, and even in order to cover the retreat of the army, a small force was also sent to search the spies of the Zhou Room on a large scale, is this to prevent the Zhou Room from sending troops to chase and kill? And the camp tent was not dismantled, which can only be explained that the Korean army has no more time.

But why did the South Korean army do this? Or did the Korean army really retreat?

"Great King, although the Korean army is not in the Korean camp, this does not mean that the Korean army has retreated or moved to other places. We still have to be careful and wait until we find out before we move forward. "It was the young master who spoke.

At this time, Zhao Biao had some opinions, "Young Master, Zhao thinks that after listening to what Doctor Man said, the Korean army doesn't even want a camp tent, which can only mean that the Korean army is retreating, and it will inevitably withdraw from the land of my Wangji, and it is impossible for the Korean army to come back to attack my Luoyang." ”

"The spies who have just been sent out have not yet returned, how can we be sure that the Korean army has withdrawn? The old man thought that he would not be able to confirm until the spies returned. The young master pushed back.

Seeing that there was about to quarrel, the king spoke, "Zhao Qingjia, what the young master said is reasonable, before we get further accurate information, we must not think that the Han army is retreating, we still have to guard the city carefully, and we must not spread the news of the retreat of the Han army, so as not to cause riots in the city." However, it is true that the South Korean army is not in the barracks, and we have to think about why the South Korean army left the barracks in a hurry. ”

"It's not difficult to think that the Korean army retreated, or Korea was attacked by other vassal states, or the Wei State in the north, or the Chu State in the south, or the Korean domestic war, I heard Doctor Man say that some doctors in Korea did not want to attack my Luoyang, maybe they fought hard, so that Han Hou had to order the retreat. If this is the case, my royal family has already guarded Luoyang, which is really worth celebrating, and the old man thinks that after the spies send back the confirmed news, the royal family will be able to take a walk with good news, and the whole city will celebrate. And the old man also congratulated my king at this time! ”

Everyone looked at it, but it was Tian Yi who was talking, what an old fox, and now he was happy, but thinking about it, the Han army didn't even want a camp tent, what else could he do except retreat? I didn't think that this head was occupied by Tianyi, and many of the ministers suddenly regretted it, but then realized that it was not too late to keep up now, so in the hall, there were soon resounding with joy.

Some people even shouted, "What Dr. Tian said is not right, the South Korean army retreated, where was South Korea attacked or South Korea's internal strife, it was clear that I could not do Luoyang for a long time, and the casualties were heavy, and the South Korean army was unable to attack the city again, so it retreated in disgrace." Congratulations to our king for defeating the Korean army, the king is wise, long live the king! ”

This is even more shrewd, and it has set off a new ** of Daoxi.

However, Zhou Bian knew very well that if the Korean army withdrew because it was attacked by other vassal states or because of internal strife, it would be better, if it was really because it could not defeat the royal army and retreated, it would not be good news for the royal family. A strong royal family is by no means what the princes and countries of the world want to see, and Zhou Bian has already thought very clearly.

After waving his hand to make the scene quiet again, Zhou Bian made a face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before we are sure whether the Han army has really retreated, and if so, why have you asked for congratulations and congratulations, otherwise don't blame the king for turning his face. Then as for why the Han army retreated suddenly, this king thought that it was probably not because he was unable to attack the city, otherwise he would not have been in such a hurry and didn't even have time to collect the camp tent, it must be because there was an urgent matter. This king has also figured it out, and we can't guess it as we sit here now, so let's wait for the spies' return. There is only one thing, this king thinks that he still has to send Doctor Man to Xinzheng to discuss with Han Hou the friendship agreement between the two countries after the Korean army retreats, what do you think? ”

"King, the old man thinks it should be so, after all, the land of my Wangji is surrounded by Korean soil, and the trade exchanges, the grain, grass, equipment and other things that I need in Luoyang need to pass through the Korean border into my Luoyang, and the border between my Wangji land and Han Tu must also be redrawn." It was the Taishi who said this.

Soon someone sang the opposite, "King, the Korean army is defeated, why do you want my royal family to send an envoy to negotiate, why don't you wait for someone from South Korea to show the majesty of my royal family." ”

"King, the minister thinks it's okay to send an envoy, but you have to drink Han Hou first, and let him come to my Luoyang to admit his mistake, otherwise he will lose the face of my royal family."

"The king, the minister thinks that there is no need to send an envoy to negotiate with South Korea, South Korea has been defeated this time, and he will not dare to embarrass my royal family in the future, and my royal family only needs to maintain good relations with other princes, so that they can hold Korea hostage and make them dare not offend the prestige of our royal family again."

This was followed by speeches by one minister after another, and in this era, there was no such discipline as the meetings held in later generations, each saying what they wanted, and it was a mess, just like a group of people chatting at random. Alas, this is not something that can be solved in a while, although Zhou Bian has also issued some disciplinary requirements, but people's thinking is inertia, and Zhou Bian is not a tyrant, and he is not willing to force it by force.

However, if you listen carefully to the speeches of the ministers, you will find that most of them still do not agree with the royal family taking the initiative to sign a friendship agreement, is the so-called royal dignity so important? It was only one day away from yesterday, but the dispute between the DPRK and the meeting was in stark contrast to yesterday's unanimous vote, and the reason for this is naturally that the South Korean army has withdrawn today.

It turned out that the Han army had been attacking Luoyang for a long time, and many people in the city were also tired of it, so it didn't matter what kind of friendship agreement the Korean army could quickly retreat and bow their heads. And now that the Korean army has retreated, there is no scruple about not retreating from the Korean army, and the so-called face is back. Thinking about it, Zhou Bian knew that he would not be able to convince everyone for a while, so he didn't care, and let several groups of people in the hall argue freely.

Without thinking about this argument, half an hour passed, until a figure hurried into the main hall.

Those who can run freely into the palace during the court meeting are naturally the king's cronies, and those who can rush in at this time naturally have urgent things to repay. Yes, the person who came was Jiang Ping of the Intelligence Department.

Seeing Jiang Ping running in, Zhou Bian's heart also beat faster, he came back so soon, did he find out what happened to Han Jun?

Seeing Jiang Ping running in, the controversy in the hall was much quieter, and everyone knew that this person would bring the latest news about the Korean army, so they all set their eyes on Jiang Ping, who was dressed in cloth.

But Jiang Ping ran straight to the king in the hall, knelt down two steps away from the throne, and arched his hand, "King, the report from the north is that everyone has crossed the river from the north of the big river, landed in Mengjin, there are a large number of people, and they are currently assembled in Mengjin, I don't know if it is aimed at Luoyang, but it is the Wei army." ”

As soon as Jiang Ping's words fell, the hall was suddenly shocked. When he said a few words in the first few words, the hall was still a little noisy, but when he said a few words, the hall had already quieted down, and Jiang Ping didn't deliberately just say it to the king, so all the ministers present heard these words clearly.

As soon as Han Jun left, Wei Jun came, and many of the ministers present were stunned, but they couldn't make a sound when they grew up, including Zhou Bian, who was also taken aback by the news. The Wei army suddenly offended the land of Wangji without asking for instructions, and it was already not in the eyes of the royal family, and it was not yet known what the purpose of the Wei army crossing the river was.

So the hall suddenly fell silent, and the ministers and doctors who were still arguing for the face of the royal family were silent, and they all set their eyes on the king sitting on it, to be precise, the king who was only ten years old.

Seeing this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but feel funny, but after all, he still had to make his own decisions at this time, so Zhou Bian forced himself to calm down, and after thinking for a while, he asked.

"Jiang Ping, do you know the number of Wei troops, who is the main general, and what banner is played? Also, didn't my royal family also have spies in the north of the river, why didn't they know until the Wei army crossed the river? ”

The ministers all turned their eyes to Jiang Ping, who was still kneeling, and when they saw him arch his hand, he quickly answered.

"Back to the king, in order to come back quickly, the spies have not found out the above points, but the next batch of spies have been dispatched, and I am afraid that they will have already left the city. And why the spies in Hebei didn't report back, this villain doesn't know, and later, if there is news, the villain will report again. ”

"Then you go down first, and report immediately if there is any news!"

Seeing that Jiang Ping had no more news to offer, Zhou Bian waved his hand to let him retreat.

After that, Zhou Bian looked down with a serious expression.

"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what the purpose of the Wei army is, we must be prepared, the Wei army is a strong army in the world, and we must not be careless. The young master immediately went to the east city wall to arrange, Tu Ping went to the west city wall, and Zhao Biao went to the south city wall, so that the soldiers were nervous, and then arranged for the chief to be in charge of the north city wall. Bai Gui, immediately gather the people in the city, prepare for war, Ning Yue, and control the city. Ladies and gentlemen, the Wei army is no better than the Han army, so you must not be careless. ”

"No!" The king spoke, and the ministers hurriedly saluted.

But before the ministers could take action, a voice sounded again. "King, the old man has something to say."

When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be Tianyi.

"My lord, my lords, the old man thinks that this Wei army is not King Qin? Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, as soon as the Han army left in the morning, the Wei army arrived, but I am afraid that the Han army learned that the Wei army came to help our royal family, and today is coming, so they will retreat in a hurry without waiting for dawn. The old man still remembers that when the old Wei Gongzi Ang came to mention the Marquis of Wei to ask for the title of Uncle Fang, the king once said, the Marquis of Wei has nothing to do with my royal family, how can he be named Uncle Fang? Therefore, the Wei army is here, and the old man thinks that most of it is the Marquis of Wei who has taken the king's words to heart, and if this is the case, it is also a blessing for my royal family. ”

As soon as they heard Tian Yi's words, the ministers immediately made a fuss, which was too reasonable, and many people began to praise Dr. Tian. So much so that Zhou Bian was a little convinced when he heard it, judging from the reaction of the Han army, this possibility is indeed too great.

However, I always felt that something was wrong.

"Doctor Tian, since the Marquis of Wei wants to be the king of Qin, why did the Han army besiege my Luoyang for more than a month, and the Wei army has not arrived until now? From Anyi to Luoyang, it only takes five days if it's fast. ”

Hearing the king's question, Tian Yi replied unhurriedly, "King, maybe the Marquis of Wei thinks that my royal family can resist, or the Marquis of Wei wants to wait until my royal family is about to be unable to support it before sending troops, so that my royal family will only be more grateful to the Marquis of Wei, and the Marquis of Wei will also be able to take credit." ”

The ministers' eyes lit up when they heard it, yes, it must be like this, Wei Hou just wants to take credit.

But the king is very calm.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before you find out the intention of the Wei army, you must not be careless, this king orders you and others to treat the Wei army as an invading enemy, and there must be no slackness. Do you get it? ”
