Chapter 6 Continue South
As soon as he saw Su Pheasant, Zhou Bian immediately reacted, Su Rui's family should have been taken to Luoyang, otherwise Su Pheasant, who was sent to Yiyang, would not come back, let alone chase him, and then think about it carefully, the only purpose of Su Pheasant chasing over is to tell Su Rui in person, I think this is also allowed by the Taishi, Su Pheasant's personal arrival is much more useful than letters or anything, and the Taishi obviously makes Su Rui more down-to-earth to follow the king's side. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, this Su Pheasant is very cultivated, although he followed Wang Sunman in, he has been listening to the monarch and ministers, and has not interjected, which is obviously able to win Zhou Bian's favor.
So Zhou Bian took the initiative to smile at Su Pheasant, so panicked that Su Pheasant hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Then Zhou Bian turned around and asked Ning Yue, "Where did Su Rui go?" Call him here. ”
"Su Rui is reorganizing the army in the backyard, I'll call him here." Ning Yue answered, and ran out in person.
After a while, the sound of hurried footsteps came, and Su Rui ran in first, and shouted as soon as he entered the house, "Su Pheasant, sure enough, you are here, my mother is good, my mother is good, my inner son is good, and Tao'er is good?" Before he finished speaking, his hands were already tightly gripping Su Pheasant's shoulders.
Su Rui couldn't help but be excited, and asked so many questions at once, and Zhou Bian and Ning Yue on the side all laughed.
Su Pheasant honestly bowed his head and replied, "General Hui, the master mother and the young lady, the young master are all fine, and many of the people in the family have brought Luoyang, but the fields and some bulky things have not been brought back." However, the queen mother arranged a large mansion, which was much larger than the one we lived in Yiyang, and the princess also sent grain and grass and some daily necessities, saying that it was enough to enjoy the royal family's fortune for the time being. General, please rest assured, the housewife and others live well in the new house in Luoyang, but they don't worry about the general, so they let the villain come to follow the general again. ”
"That's good, that's good." Su Rui muttered a few words, and his true feelings were undoubtedly revealed.
Su Rui nodded again, then let go of his hands, turned around and saluted the king, "The king, your subordinates are in a hurry, there is a rude in front of the king, I hope the king will punish you!" ”
Zhou Bian waved his hand, "That's not necessary, after hearing this today, General Su is no longer worried, right?" In fact, Su Rui has been a little depressed since he was forced to follow the king's frame, and Zhou Bian has seen these things in his heart.
Seeing the king who was smiling slightly, Su Rui hurriedly bowed down and said, "Now your subordinates are relieved, I was worried that Han Hou's people would rush to Yiyang first, but it seems that the king's people are fast." Your Majesty, thank you to the king, and you will serve my king to the death in the future! ”
"There is no need to die, only by living can we do more for this king. Su Rui, you take Su Pheasant and step back first. Zhou Bian said with a smile.
After seeing Su Rui's master and slave withdraw, Zhou Bian looked at Wang Sunman again, "How are the hearts of Luoyang people now?" Can there be refugees outside the city gathering to make trouble? But what are the rumors? ”
Fang Cai has always been Wang Sunman saying that it will be Zhou Bian's turn to ask.
"Back to the king, since the Han army retreated, Luoyang City was cheering, the night after the king left, the queen mother ordered the royal family to open the collection, all the wine and half of the meat were taken out, for the whole city soldiers and civilians to enjoy, but unfortunately the treasury is not much, can only be distributed to the meritorious people first. There is no trouble among the refugees, and all the people of Luoyang are singing the praises of the royal family's kindness. But there are some rumors. Speaking of this, Wang Sun Man looked up at the king, as if he was a little confused or hesitant.
"Let's just say it, what kind of rumor?"
"No. On the same day, after the king left, some people in Luoyang City said that the king was held hostage by the Marquis of Wei and left, and also claimed that the Son of Heaven was taken captive and hated Mo Yan. In the streets, liquor stores, and warehouses, there are often people who shoot and scold, and there is even a tendency to make trouble. However, they were all suppressed by Zhao Biao's people, saying that the king voluntarily went with the Marquis of Wei, which was an important matter, but the ministers also knew that no one disagreed on the surface, but behind the scenes, many people scolded Zhao Biao all over again, and even said that my royal family was weak, and the Han army was repulsed, why are you still afraid of the Wei army? However, the order claimed that the king was voluntary, but it was the idea of the queen mother and the princess after discussion, and there were many disagreements between the ministers and the adults, but it could only be so, so the ministers were a little confused just now. Saying that, Wang Sunman raised his head and looked at the king carefully, as well as Ning Yue on the side.
Obviously, Wang Sunman looked at the king cautiously, he was afraid that the king would be angry, he was obviously being held hostage, and the queen mother didn't let people say it, and took a peek at Ning Yue again, it was naturally because he mentioned that Zhao Biao was scolded, you must know that Zhao Biao took over Ning Yue's subordinates, and it was Ning Yue's original job that took over, or rather, Zhao Biao was scolded for Ning Yue.
However, whether it is this king or Ning Yue, there is no reaction on his face, but it makes Wang Sunman breathe a sigh of relief, not to mention this young king, it is this Ning Dafu, and his qi cultivation kung fu is much stronger than himself.
After a long time, I heard the king sigh, "It's a pity that I have a lot of loyal people in Luoyang!" ”
After a pause, he continued, "The Queen Mother and the Grand Master are right, and this can only be the case at present, but even if someone scolds me for the weakness of the royal family, I must not use force against it, and this sentence will be passed back." ”
"No, Your Majesty knows." Wang Sunman nodded hurriedly yes.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Bian had a deeper understanding of some details of Luoyang, and couldn't help nodding in his heart, it seems that Taishi and Bai Gui are still people who can be trusted, and it seems that they are still good.
But soon Zhou Bian remembered something, Wang Sunman said that there were a lot of letters, where are they?
When he asked, he realized that he was still outside the door, Wang Sunman got up and was about to go out and call someone to lift up, but Zhou Bian followed him out on a whim.
Unexpectedly, when I went out, I saw an amazing scene, a four-wheeled carriage was actually full of bamboo slips, a cart of bamboo slips, my God, this is at least seven or eight hundred pounds heavy, how long do you have to look at this? Manual work, in ancient times, not only reading books, but also reading letters was also manual work. Zhou Bian really wanted to let the paper made by Shen Illegality become popular in the royal family immediately.
Hundreds of catties of bamboo slips, Zhou Bian is really speechless, not to mention how much bamboo has been wasted, even if he wants to finish it, it will take a lot of effort.
Wang Sunman casually summoned a few strong men and moved into Zhou Bian's temporary study under the guidance of Ning Yue. And a few of the bamboo slips were sent by Su Rui and Ning Yue's families, and they were picked out and sent out. But Rao is like this, and it took half a cup of tea to finish moving.
Come on, I can't go to this city today, so let's read the letter first. Zhou Bian summoned Fan Yu and a few guards, and immediately sat down in front of the desk and began to read.
The first thing I read was naturally the letter of the Queen Mother, and the natural feelings of concern were all over the article, and in addition, they all said something to reassure my son, which was a little warm. Then there are the letters from ministers such as Taishi Bai Xiang, which are all detailed reports on state affairs, especially Bai Gui's, which weighs dozens of catties, but the content is basically the same as what Wang Sunman said, but it is more detailed.
Looking further back, it was all the reports of the ministers, and when he was about to continue reading, he suddenly heard Qiao Nu say that it was time to have dinner, and when he looked up, Zhou Bian found that it was almost dark.
After dinner, there was no Wei soldier who came to disturb the royal family, and some crying and smashing sounds could still be heard outside the courtyard, presumably it was still the Wei army collecting money, anyway, there was nothing to do, Zhou Bian ordered the maids to light the oil lamp, and under the service of Zuo Qiaonu and Right Tian Qian, Zhou Bian read all the letters.
I really didn't expect that the ministers and nobles who had a little status in the royal family all wrote letters, even if it was just a few words of questioning or expressing loyalty, which fully reflected Zhou Bian's status in the royal family at this time.
Zhou Bian rubbed his eyes blackened by the oil lamp, it was really tiring to watch this night, fortunately, the Taishi and other ministers knew that the king was young, and he still wrote in almost the vernacular, while those unimportant ministers wrote about the same, so he read it before going to bed. It's just that the two little maids are tired, and the arms that turn over the bamboo slips are counted, it seems that in this era, if you want to add fragrance to the red sleeves, you still don't pity the jade.
Zhou Bian has been busy reading the letter, until he has read it all before he realizes the fatigue of the two maids, although he did not hear a complaint, but Zhou Bian still smiled and expressed his attitude, saying that it will not be long before Luoyang's letter will not be so heavy.
Yes, it won't be long before Shen Bulaw's paper will be on the market, but now after the war, first restore the salt and iron wine, and then start to start making paper, I'm afraid it will be two months later, and then it will take a month to transport it to Linzi, and then it will take two months to send it back to Luoyang.
Early the next morning, Fan Yu arranged for people to burn all the bamboo slips, firstly, these letters were too heavy to be carried in the car, and secondly, Zhou Bian did not want Wei Hou to see these letters, although Wang Sunman entered the city and showed the name of the royal family and no one stopped him, but who knows if Wei Hou would remember to get a few letters during the march? Anyway, Zhou Bian was unwilling to let Wei Hou know about the dynamics of Luoyang.
After breakfast, Wang Sunman was going to say goodbye and go back to Luoyang, this time was scheduled for Wang Sunman to run back and forth, contact the king and the Luoyang court, anyway, he was young, it was good to run more.
When he didn't want to say goodbye to the Marquis of Wei as usual, the Marquis of Wei didn't let him go, and insisted that Wang Sunman also go to Xinzheng with the army, so as to see the Wei army exert its might, defeat Korea, and avenge the royal family. Wei Hou also claimed that Wang Sunman followed the Wei army last year and witnessed the defeat of the Wei army against the Zhao army, during which Wei Hou himself felt that he had a good conversation with Wang Sunman, so this time he also asked Wang Sunman to stay.
In the current era, on this land, it is estimated that Wei Hou is the most powerful person, with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, he can fight wherever he wants, and he also controls the nominal Son of Heaven, so Wei Hou's words are generally no one to object, and no one dares to object to the Zhou royal family who was hijacked, so Wang Sunman also stayed, followed Zhou Bian's side, and prepared to follow the Wei army to continue south.
And when he went to Luoyang to report the safety of the king, he was brought by Wang Sunman.
After the Wei army was ruined in Shiqiu for two days, early in the morning of the third day, the army finally set off from Shiqiu, nearly 100,000 troops were arranged into several long dragons as when they came, facing straight south, under the banner of the commanders of the army, Wei Hou was in high spirits, holding the chariot and looking into the distance, as the most powerful man in this era, Wei Hou was qualified to despise the front.
Seeing Wei Hou's slightly triumphant face, Zhou Bian naturally knew that the Wei army had reaped a lot of benefits in Shiqiu, at least enough to make up for the thousands of Wei soldiers who died. Shiqiu was originally a big city in the north of Xinzheng, there have always been heavy troops, and naturally there is no need to hoard resources, and at this time, the Wei army followed by hundreds of carts, a cart full of grain and grass, enough to explain everything, in addition to it is said that there are hundreds of carts under the escort of thousands of Wei soldiers, quietly to the east, want to transport back to the beam, don't think about it, it must be more valuable than grain and grass copper, whether it is copper weapons or copper coins and bronze tools, the Wei army must have moved back all their brains.
The war is like this, Zhou Bian asked himself if he led the army to break the city, the common people would not move, but the government would definitely be empty. Hey, no matter what era, it is the strength of the respect, if the Han army breaks Luoyang, I am afraid that Luoyang will also be emptied at this time, strength, but unfortunately there is no time, if you give a few more years, Zhou Bian believes that Luoyang will never be afraid of any prince.
The army marched south, without stopping, without speeding up the pace, nor deliberately slowing down, avoiding the midday heat, and after circling the allergy mountain, the army finally arrived at Huayang before dinner.
This is also a medium-sized city in South Korea, smaller than such as Xinzheng Yiyang, but larger than other cities, the size of the city is about the same as Shiqiu, but the city wall is higher than Shiqiu, obviously because of its unique geographical location, that is, Huayang is closer to Xinzheng, only half a day away, so if Shiqiu is the northern gateway of Xinzheng, then Huayang is the barracks outside Xinzheng City. I really don't understand how South Korea could let Wei Jun get his hands on such an important city.
At this time, the atmosphere outside Huayang City was much more tense than when he first arrived in Shiqiu a few days ago. I saw a pair of Wei infantry training outside the city, and there were countless chariots rushing back and forth in the south of the city, not to show the strength of the Wei army, or to train the troops, or to prepare for the surprise attack of the Korean army, or to deliberately make it nervous.
The royal family's men and horses were caught in the Wei army, and soon arrived at the west gate of Huayang, and when they were about to be a few hundred steps away from the city gate, suddenly a war horse ran from the west, and a Wei soldier sat directly on the war horse, holding the neck of the war horse with both hands, and ran towards the Wei army. In the blink of an eye, the war horse ran into the middle of the army, and the knight jumped down, half-kneeling on the ground, and didn't know what to say to Wei Hou, but Zhou Bian was far away, and he couldn't hear what was said at all.
A moment later, another chariot drove from the south, and there were many chariots in the south, and it was not unusual for one to run over, but behind this chariot was a corpse dragged by a rope, bringing up billowing yellow dust. After getting closer, I saw that it was the Korean soldiers dressed up, thinking that it was the Korean army scouts, and sure enough, in the war, human life was like a dog.
In the blink of an eye, the chariot rushed into Huayang City, and the Wei army was stagnant for a while, and it turned out that the Wei army in front had entered the city.
The royal family's men and horses were in the rear position of the Wei army, and soon they also arrived under the west gate, this city gate is not tall, and can only accommodate the next chariot to drive in, no wonder when the chariot in front of it entered the city, the army seemed to be stuck. The city gate is not thick, only about twenty steps, I didn't think about entering the city but I saw Baning standing behind the city gate, as soon as I saw the king's carriage, he immediately arched his hand and said, "King, the Marquis of Wei in front of you, please!" ”
