Chapter 90: Linzi Soldiers
Qi Hou's thought was another two days passed, and finally, Linzi received Zhao Hou's official distress document, Zhao Guo actually gave half of the land of Zhongshan State in exchange for Qi State's troops, and was willing to honor Qi Hou as the chief in the future. This condition made Qi Hou very satisfied, although Zhongshan and Qi did not border.
In the main hall, Qi Hou threw the documents to His Royal Highness, "All the Qings take a look, earlier, the widow had set a strategy to save Zhao Yu, and now Zhao Guo is about to die so soon, the widow has made up his mind to send troops to Handan to save Zhao Yu." ”
Qi Hou's voice landed in the hall, and finally made this important decision, when it felt very different from when he said in the hall that he wanted to save South Korea, more solemn, and more spirited, people only found that their opponent was more awesome than they thought at the beginning, they would pay more attention to defeating the opponent, and they would also appear to be more awesome.
The words fell sonorously, and Qi Hou seemed to have seen his shame and his dominance.
However, the hall was immediately in a commotion, and there were loud applause, which was what Qi Hou expected, and some people called the king to think twice, which was what Qi Hou minded, and some people discussed with each other, which was what Qi Hou cared about.
After frowning, Qi Hou coughed lightly, and immediately the temple people who were waiting on the side shouted for silence.
"What you need to worry about the widow is how to send troops and how to fight. The rest is not negotiable. ”
Qi Hou's words landed soundly, and Qi Hou never seemed to feel so good, and he had never found himself so domineering.
This time the hall began to be quiet, but soon a voice rang out, "Your Majesty! ”
Everyone turned their heads to look, and it turned out to be Duan Ganpeng, who was in the middle of the team, jumped out, only to see him fall to the ground and exclaim,
"For revenge, for the great plan, for the great righteousness, the king has to be a righteous teacher. It is better to send troops late than to send troops early. ”
Immediately, some people agreed, and some people silently despised it in their hearts, but Zhao Hou was very happy.
"Duan Ganqing, please get up!" Zhao Hou stretched out his right hand and put on a look that he thought was very majestic. "What do you suggest?"
"Back to the king, it is better to send troops early than late, if the king's intention has been decided, it is advisable to send troops as soon as possible, if it is late, Handan City will be broken, and it will be useless to send troops again. Now our Qi country can produce nearly 200,000 capable soldiers, of which 50,000 are new recruits, trained by the method of the ancestors, and can reach Wei Wushu. The soldiers are fast, and use the trick to break the catapult, and hold high the king's banner, saying that the king is ordered to crusade against the tyrannical Wei, and the Lu State and the Yan State will definitely send troops together, then my lord will make a contribution, at this time. ”
"Good! Good! Qi Hou couldn't help but slap his face.
"Then what are you waiting for, send troops, this time, the widow will be in command in person." Qi Hou puffed up his chest, but soon coughed.
Qi Hou's body is still not good after all, maybe it's just for show, and finally under the collective persuasion of the ministers, Qi Hou reluctantly agreed to let the son Chen Qi be the commander, Tian Ji is the deputy, Duan Ganpeng is the military advisor, and the army will set off on a certain day.
The matter of the dispatch of Qi troops was finally finalized, and he was once again given a heavy responsibility, Duan Ganpeng could be said to be quite complacent, and almost returned home humming a small song. However, as soon as he entered the house, a servant came up and whispered, Duan Ganpeng's face was not very good, and he immediately quickened his pace and walked to the back hall.
In a hidden room in the back hall, there was a man in white sitting firmly on the low floor, drinking hot soup with a tea cup in his hand.
I saw Duan Ganpeng trotting all the way, straight to this small room, as soon as he entered the door, he rolled up his sleeves and pointed at the Gou Luo and scolded, "Okay, you are a fool, you still dare to come to my house, aren't you afraid that I will arrest you to see Jun Hou?" ”
Luo Luo put down the teacup and smiled indifferently, "If you really want to catch the mediocre below, wouldn't you have seen Qi Hou a long time ago." Then he changed his words, "Qi Hou agreed to send troops?" ”
Duan Ganpeng didn't answer, but continued to point at Gou Luo and scolded, "It's all you who hurt it, and my family is caught in it, what if you don't follow your will?" It is said that businessmen are villains, and this is indeed the case. ”
Gou Luo didn't care, but smiled, "So, Qi Hou agreed to send troops?" Lord Duan Gan is really capable, and the Zhao people will accept your affection. ”
Duan Ganpeng shook his hand, made a puff and sat opposite the Luoluo, "The monarch has decided, and it is just a matter of obeying the king's wishes." After saying that, Duan Ganpeng smiled, looked at the Luoluo, as if he wanted to see the loss of the Luoluo, who did not hesitate to take the initiative to reveal his identity, and threatened Duan Ganpeng's private dealings with the Zhou royal family's property, wanting to make Duan Ganpeng urge Qi Hou to send troops to rescue Zhao, but at this time, he learned that Qi Hou had already had this intention, in Duan Ganpeng's opinion, this Luoluo not only exposed his identity but also wasted all his efforts, so Duan Ganpeng smiled, and the unhappiness in his heart turned into expectant eyes and looked at Luo.
However, he was disappointed, there was only a smile in his eyes, but he was not disappointed, but he heard Luoluo say, "Most of them still rely on Lord Duan Gan." ”
"Sending troops is a matter decided by the king, but a certain suggestion has been added", Duan Ganpeng couldn't help but add a little more material, wanting to stimulate this Luoyang businessman who dared to blackmail him. "A certain proposal was made to receive an order from the Son of Heaven to go out, and the king agreed."
This Tianzi was still in the Wei military camp, but he ordered the Qi army to attack the Wei army, didn't this make it difficult for Zhou Tianzi to live in the hands of the Wei people. Duan Ganpeng was full of self-satisfaction after revenge, so he just said that the person who called you was going to blackmail me.
Gou Luo was only slightly stunned, and then smiled again, "It's a blessing that the Qi army can send troops, whether it is the order of the Son of Heaven or not." ”
Duan Ganpeng was a little angry, "It's the most boring to talk to Jia people like you, Jia people, villains." ”
I don't know what he meant by scolding, but he didn't feel anything, he persuaded each other and promised softly, and the two talked about things again.
When he left, it wasn't until he got out of the back door of Duan Gan's Mansion and got into his own carriage that he smiled with relief, and he forgot to tell the coachman where to go for a while. Although the purpose was achieved by revealing his identity, he finally completed the task assigned by the king, didn't he? Even if the means are very stupid, but directly on the line of Duan Ganpeng, there are pros and cons if you think about it carefully. As for Duan Ganpeng's scares, everyone knows that Wei Hou will not be embarrassed for the royal family just because Zhao Jun played in the name of the Son of Heaven, that is what only political fools do, and Wei Hou is not stupid.
As soon as the intention of waiting for the decision was made, the state apparatus started at full speed, and a group of soldiers gathered in Linzi, and after a few days, the barracks outside Linzi City were connected together, and the vast land was several miles.
Several of the barracks were the camps of Duan Ganpeng's new martial arts fighters, and although the expedition was imminent, the discipline in these barracks was still strict, and the soldiers did not relax in their daily drills. Because it is a new army, so the low-level officers have been promoted almost every day, no, it looks like they are about to go to war, and a group of gang commanders are also mentioned, if there are people in the Luoyang Palace here, they will definitely be surprised, because there are two familiar faces among the new gang commanders of the Qi army, Cai Wu and Zheng Ji, the personal guards of the Son of Heaven, are also officers specially trained by Zhou Bian. It turned out that this was arranged by Zhou Bian and placed in the Qi army for training, and of course, it may be of great use in the future. However, Duan Ganpeng didn't know about this matter, but he was recruited through Duan Ganming from other channels, according to the quality of these two people, there was naturally no problem in recruiting, no, it didn't take long for both of them to be promoted. In fact, for Cai Wu and Zheng Ji, training is not tiring, but the bitter thing is that it is difficult to hold back a Qi accent.
Although Qi Hou made a fate, he wanted to be a soldier and fast, but it was not an easy task to gather 200,000 people, and a few days had passed, and it had been a month since the Wei army besieged Handan, and the Qi army had sworn to set off to the west. Along the way, Xiaobo Qi troops continued to join, and only after eight days did they walk out of the territory of Qi and step into the land of Zhao.
Let's talk about Handan here, in a month's time, the city wall in the south of Handan has already been smashed and not decent, but every day the Zhao people are desperately rushing to repair, so although the city wall has become an earthen wall, it has not been ruined, and it has been blocked by the Wei soldiers outside the city, how difficult it is to maintain this line of defense, I am afraid that only Zhao people know.
In the Wei military camp, Zhou Bian and the others didn't know that Qi Hou had made up his mind to save Zhao at this time, and he was comfortable every day, he could watch the siege if he wanted to, and stay in the tent if he didn't want to see it, but he didn't expect trouble to come.
The trouble is first to find Fan Yu. On this day, Fan Yu was still strolling around the royal family's tent as before, and next to the royal family was the army specially sent by Wei Hou to take care of the royal family, so it was not forbidden for the royal family to move around at will, and no one followed him when he walked around at will in these camps.
Fan Yu is an idle person, he has to go to the Wei camp every day to take a stroll, find some familiar chats, not only pass the time, but also master some of the Wei army's way of marching and camping, and can inadvertently hear some secrets from the mouth of the Wei soldiers, Ning Yue, as a scholar doctor, only drilled into the camp tents of those Wei doctors and nobles, and refused to let go of his identity to deal with the soldiers.
Just bypassed a camp tent, Fan Yu was thinking about something, and suddenly a small soldier bumped into him, this collision was not heavy, Fan Yu would not have cared much about it, but this little soldier still had a basin of water in his hand, and splashed Fan Yu all over his body, which immediately provoked Uncle Fan to be angry, grabbed the little soldier, raised his fist and was about to hit. Although it is Wei Ying, Fan Yu is also a member of the Zhou royal family, so he has to have a little temper.
I didn't think that the little soldier whispered, "I have something to ask to see the king, and I hope that the lord will fulfill it." ”
Fan Yu was puzzled, so he put it down, looked at it carefully, and found that there were some faces, and it didn't take long to want to enter this team of Wei soldiers, "Are you a spy of Zhao State?" ”
As he spoke, Fan Yu looked around, but fortunately there were no other Wei soldiers nearby. However, the little soldier was even more detailed, and shouted loudly, "Lord Fan is angry, and the small one will be wiped clean by the adult." ”
Fan Yu's mind was no longer on wet clothes, but he still shouted, "How do you walk, you don't have long eyes?" ”
The little soldier immediately invited Fan Yu aside, and it happened that two Wei soldiers walked by, didn't find anything abnormal, scolded the little soldier twice, and made amends to Fan Yu, so he didn't take it seriously and left.
Only then did the two speak again, "My lord, the little one is not the Zhao people, but the children of the Mo family." Several senior brothers are helping to defend the city in Handan City at the moment, and the villain was ordered to sneak into the Wei camp to ask for the help of the royal family, and hope that the adults will be successful. ”
"The king of my family, how can you see it if you want to?" Being in the Wei camp, Fan Yu naturally didn't dare to be careless, and looked around while talking.
"It's really important, and I hope it will be fulfilled by adults." The little soldier whispered while helping Fan Yu wipe the water in his hand.
"You can't do this by a certain family." Fan Yu replied.
"The Zhao people are guarding Handan, which is also beneficial to the Zhou family, and I hope that the adults will be successful."
"A certain family has to inform the king of my family first, and then make plans. In this Wei camp, how can you see the king of my family? ”
"At this time, don't bother the adult, as long as the king is willing to see it, the villain has his own way to get in."
"Well, you'll be waiting for me tomorrow." The two whispered for a long time, but fortunately no one passed by. I only heard Fan Yu say loudly again, "I'll spare you today, and I will have long eyes next time." ”
After speaking, Fan Yu patted his half-wet clothes and left.
Fan Yu is also a good person now, although he was shocked by the handiwork of the Mo family's children mixed into the Wei camp, but his face still did not change, and he did not rush back to report to the king, but continued to wander around the Wei camp, greeting this one from time to time, and nodding at that one from time to time, of course, if it was a good conversation, he would stop and chat.
It didn't take long for Fan Yu to finally finish a big circle as usual. As soon as he returned to the royal family's tent, Fan Yu's footsteps immediately became brisk, and his body flashed, and he shook into the tent where Zhou Bian and Ning Yue were chatting, but before he could sit down, he flashed out again, but he told Zhou Mi, who was guarding the door, a few times, and then came in and knelt down.
As soon as they heard that the children of the Mo family asked to see them, Zhou Bian and Ning Yue were surprised and puzzled, and they were surprised that the children of the Mo family had mixed into the Wei camp, so there must be a Mo family in Handan City to help, is this Mo family really taking non-aggression as their own responsibility? What I wonder is what the children of the Mo family are doing when they come to see the royal family? Do you want the royal family to correspond to Handan inside and outside? You must know that the royal family has only 100 guards, and there are more than 1,000 Wei soldiers who closely follow the royal family as guardians, what can the royal family do, and what dare to do?
The three of them bowed their heads and discussed, most of the children of the Mo family came to ask for help or offer advice, but is it worth taking such a risk? But thinking about it, Zhou Bian was still curious after all, after all, he had been locked up in the Wei camp for many days, and the news could not be sent, nor did he receive news from outside, I don't know if the Wei people intercepted it or the Taishi of Luoyang or Jiang Ping did not send the news, so Zhou Bian still wanted to know the situation outside.
Ning Yue is also an adventurer, although he is worried, but the three of them scrutinized the details and found that it is still very likely that they will not be caught by the Wei people, after all, the Wei people are tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and they never break into the Zhou camp to check. As for the time of meeting, it can only depend on the timing.
On the second day, Fan Yu began to wander after dinner again, and inadvertently met the little soldier who splashed water on him yesterday, Fan Yu was angry again, but the two still successfully exchanged a few words in private and set the way to make an appointment.
Another two days passed, and finally in the evening, when it was just dark, a thin Wei soldier quietly came to the outside of the royal tent, and was soon secretly led in by someone taking advantage of the night, and not long after, this Wei soldier who claimed to be a disciple of the Mo family stood in front of Ning Yue.
