That night, Su Rui selected six of his subordinates, the five personal soldiers were all capable people, but the deputy was the son of the royal family, Wang Sunde, and Wang Sunjian's nephew. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info hearing this, even Ning Yue, who has always been strict, nodded, this Su Rui is indeed a person on the upper path, and he knows the importance of it.

At noon the next day, news came back from outside the city, Ning Yue not only successfully received the thousand soldiers, but even asked for a training venue, the Wei people agreed without hesitation, it seems that at the moment of the princes of the world, the Marquis of Wei is almost obedient to the Zhou royal family.

That's fine, the food provided by the Wei people is very good, and the amount of meat is far better than that of the Luoyang Palace itself, so in the past few months, coupled with Zhou Bian's deliberate exercise and sword practice, Zhou Bian himself feels much stronger. Sometimes calm down and think about it, during the time when Wei was far away from his homeland, it was not all good for himself, at least when he grew up, it was still very good to work less, eat more, sleep more, and exercise more, as for the revival of the royal family, Zhou Bian believed that when he returned to Luoyang, it would be when the curtain opened, and this confidence was still there.

The day after the Wei army returned to the court, the inside and outside of Anyi City were quiet, everything returned to its original state, and the quarrels of the envoys of the various countries in the palace were still the same, of course, if it was not for the contact with politics, if it was replaced by the previous Zhou Bian, Zhou Bian would not have thought that the issue of a single seat could be debated for so long.

Then, in the whole city of Anyi, except that the barracks outside the city were full again, there was no other difference, of course, if there were kind-hearted Wei generals who were willing to share part of their rewards with the soldiers under their command, then there would be a lot of noisy customers in the grocery stores or hotels on the streets of Anyi, and they would also give the officials in the market a headache, but these had nothing to do with the royal family.

On the second day when Su Rui officially began to train a thousand Qi people, Zhou Bian led Ning Yue, Fan Yu and others and a cadre of personal guards to the barracks to inspect.

On this day, a thousand soldiers were standing in a neat queue under the warm sun, and when they learned from the guards of the Son of Heaven who were in advance, Su Rui immediately led the six people who had just been selected to gather the soldiers to line up to welcome the Son of Heaven, but when Zhou Bian and the others arrived, it was still a mess, and it took half an hour for the team to be organized.

Zhou Bian could see the faint sneer at the corner of his grandson or mouth behind him, but Zhou Bian didn't care.

Besides, Su Rui, when he got the news that the Son of Heaven was coming to inspect, he immediately panicked, the royal family didn't say hello in advance, and he only trained for a day, so that these Qi people knew him as a thousand-commander, but the queue and so on have not been trained yet.

When Su Rui re-established the team that was standing in a military posture, Su Rui only felt that the placket on his body was all wet, and it took too long, would the king reprimand?

After reporting to the king with a worried heart, he didn't expect the king to smile, "Su Qing has worked hard." ”

"This is the duty of a subordinate, and there is no such thing as hard work. But since the king is here, I also ask the king to speak. ”

Zhou Bian shook his head slightly when he heard this, and then according to the prior discussion, Ning Yue stepped forward, "Let the minister speak on behalf of the Son of Heaven." ”

Su Rui hurriedly stepped aside, only to hear Ning Yue wave his robe and say loudly,

"I am Ning Yue, the doctor of Luoyang under the command of Zhou Tianzi,"

Then there is an easy-to-understand and very inflammatory speech, but it is nothing more than welcome to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, welcome to serve the co-lord of the world, Zhou Tianzi, how good the Zhou royal family will give you, if you do something, what will you get, and so on, in the carriage on the road when you came, Ning Yue confirmed it to Zhou Bian.

Those Qi people are naturally listening carefully, Zhou Bian can imagine that since Wei Guo has chosen these thousand Qi people, he has naturally done a good job of ideological work a long time ago, so these Qi people are also ready to stay in Luoyang, after all, they are all poor people, as long as they can eat enough, as for where to stay, it really doesn't matter so much.

Of course, they will also be homesick, but it is clear that the Wei State has told them that they cannot go back, and the Qi State has abandoned them.

Therefore, in the eyes of Zhou Bian and others, the thousand Qi people who have only been trained for one day are extremely quiet.

It's just that Zhou Bian could see that at the same time as Ning Yue spoke, the Wei doctors around him all laughed, obviously disapproving Ning Yue's words, or simply laughing, laughing at the weak royal family for caring so much about a thousand Qi soldiers. Is there no one for the royal family? And to the captives, to the slaves, is it necessary to make such a promise?

But Zhou Bian didn't care.

After Ning Yue finished speaking, Su Rui organized the 1,000 people to stand up in a military posture, and Zhou Bian and the others observed for a while before leaving.

On the way back, I could still hear those soldiers of the Wei State talking about Su Rui's letting the Qi people stand in a military posture, which was unbridled ridicule and sarcasm.

Zhou Bian just smiled faintly at the Wei people's disapproval, Zhou Bian naturally did not explain or argue, only saw the surface but did not see the essence, and the Wei people were like this, I believe that if they meet on the battlefield in the future, Zhou Bian believes that the power of the royal family will surprise the Wei State.

Zhou Bian was not afraid of exposing a little bit of his way of training in front of the Wei people, because Zhou Bian knew that in this era, people's ability to accept new things was not so strong, such as in real history, although iron weapons and cavalry had long existed, iron weapons were not really used on a large scale until the Han Dynasty, and as for the large-scale combat of cavalry, it was until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

However, the essence that can be seen at a glance, Zhou Bian will not be exposed too early, such as stirrups and saddles.

On the way back to Anyi, listening to the wanton ridicule of the Wei people outside the car, and seeing that Ning Yue's face in the same car gradually became a little unnatural, Zhou Bian suddenly raised the topic.

"This king suddenly thought of a question."

"Your Majesty, please speak." Ning Yue, who was also in the carriage, and Fan Yu, who was guarding the coachman in front of the carriage, all turned their heads.

"You say, that Marquis of Wei led his troops to defeat the three kingdoms of Han, Qin, and Qi last year, and dedicated the captives of my royal family, but why are there only Qi people?"

"Yes, why are there no Han and Qin people?" Fan Yu followed and asked. "Is it because Marquis Wei thought that the Qin people had a good relationship with my Zhou family, so he didn't sacrifice the Qin people as prisoners?"

"Probably not, so why are there no Koreans either? You must know that South Korea has invaded the land of our Zhou Room the most. Ning Yue shook his head and said.

"That's because the Qi people are different from Qin and Han?" Fan Yu simply turned around, "Could it be that the Qi people are more docile and will not rebel against my Zhou family in the future, so as not to embarrass the Wei State?" ”

"Well, it also makes sense, they all say that Qi people are timid, maybe there is such a thing, at least Wei Hou thinks so." Ning Yue nodded.

"According to this, the minister seems to understand why it is not a Korean, Korea is the closest to Luoyang in the Zhou room, and it is just a river to cross it, it is difficult to guarantee that the Koreans will not defect without permission, and the Wei people must have thought of this."

"It seems that Wei Hou is still quite careful," Zhou Bian smiled.

"If Wei Hou wants to dominate the world, he must make a good appearance, if the captives dedicated to the royal family run away later, a few are fine, if most of them run away, Wei Hou's face will have no place to put it." Ning Yue also smiled.

"Therefore, there must be an agreement between Wei and Qi, otherwise they will not choose Qi soldiers as prisoners to sacrifice, and then Qi envoys will come back to negotiate." Zhou Bian said.

"Yes, in fact, His Majesty also thought about it later, Wei will definitely not let any Qi people escape on the way back to Luoyang from Anyi." Ning Yue affirmed. "Then His Majesty thought that the State of Qi would definitely prosper, and the one who could defeat the hegemony of the State of Wei in the future must be the State of Qi."

"This is a good thing, with the containment of the Qi State, and to avoid the Wei State from really becoming hegemonic, otherwise if you want to develop again in the future, you will have to attack my royal family."

"Actually, I thought there was such a possibility." Fan Yu whispered.

"The defeat of the Wei army by the Qin army was a sneak attack, and the troops were still small, so it is possible that they were not able to catch enough prisoners, and then the Wei State besieged South Korea, in fact, it has never broken through the Xinzheng City, so there are not many prisoners, only when the Qi army is defeated, the Qi army fled everywhere, and it is easy to catch thousands of prisoners, so it has to be Qi people."

"Reasonable!" Ning Yue laughed when he heard this.

Zhou Bian thought about it, it was indeed like this, and it was interesting, but he also verbally praised Fan Yu for a few words, he has made progress, and he can have his own unique views on problems.

Junchen chatted all the way, and soon arrived at the Wei Palace.

In fact, Zhou Bian was really not very interested in the reason why the Marquis of Wei chose the Qi people as captives to sacrifice the Son of Heaven, Zhou Bian only knew that the arrogance of the Marquis of Wei laid a cornerstone for his future failure, and the hatred of the State of Qi towards the State of Wei will definitely make the whole State of Qi more energetic. But in front of the royal family, or directly in front of his own eyes, how can he return to Luoyang, wait until the Qi State besieges Wei to save Zhao, and the Wei State is forced to let the Son of Heaven return to Luoyang, maybe he can't wait that long, because Pang Juan has not yet appeared, and Sun Bin naturally doesn't know where it is. Or, what can he do to get Qi and Wei to do it first?

This night, Zhou Bian's head is a little chaotic, the situation in the world because of his own appearance, and there is a discrepancy with the real historical trajectory, so if Wei attacks Handan in Zhao in advance, and Pang Juan and Sun Bin have not yet appeared, then will the Qi army besiege Wei to save Zhao, will it defeat the Wei army, if there is no Sun Bin to make a plan, then will the Qi army be like last year wanted to solve the siege of Xinzheng in South Korea, but was defeated by the Wei army, so as to make Wei Hou's hegemony more brilliant?

History has really begun to get messy, and Zhou Bian is a little confused.

Of course, what Zhou Bian didn't know was that in fact, there was a person named Duan Ganpeng in Qi State, and as for what he heard in the future, it would be a matter of the future.

Then another thing that made Zhou Bian hesitate was whether it could be used for non-Luoyang people, whether it could be used as a general, or whether it could be used as a soldier, such as this Su Rui, such as this Qianqi people. For the future development of the royal family, the use of a large number of non-Luoyang people must be a trend, such as purchased slaves, such as prisoners of war, and then for the aborigines of the occupied land, how to use it is really a problem, or for ordinary people in this era, whether there is loyalty to the homeland, or how much, Zhou Bian really knows almost nothing, and the people around Zhou Bian have not done research.

Therefore, Zhou Bian is still ready to invest energy in the observation of this Qianqi people, perhaps, this can provide experience for future employment.

The night passed, and then the most news heard in the day was the quarrel in the Wei Palace. However, the difference from before is that I heard that Wei Hou has begun to intervene strongly, and Wei Hou is also anxious to take advantage of the triumph of this army to settle things quickly.

Finally, ten days later, reliable news came from the Wei Palace, and at the insistence of the Marquis of Wei, the place where the court met the Son of Heaven and the princes was first set, which was Fengze on the border of the Song State.

When he heard the news, Zhou Bian was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses, although he did not study history well in his previous life, but he also saw the Great Qin Empire, and also knew that King Wei Hui was in the land of Fengze to meet the princes of the alliance to meet the Son of Heaven, could it be that although his own crossing changed history to a certain extent, but historical figures would still make the past choice when the general conditions did not change much? So is it still very likely that the next battles of encircling Wei to save Zhao and Maling, as well as the famous battle of Shaoliang between Qin and Wei, will still develop according to the historical trajectory?

Zhou Bian thinks that it should be, then the difference should be the ending, because of his own crossing, because of his own unpredictable prophet, then he can take the initiative to intervene in the development of history to a certain extent, so that it can be carried out in the direction of his advantage.

What's next? Zhou Bian pondered and carefully recalled the history of later generations, if it is arranged in chronological order, the first thing that happened was the Battle of Shaoliang, then the Battle of Guiling that surrounded Wei to save Zhao, and finally the Battle of Maling, which determined the decline of Wei, then the first thing that may have an impact on him is the Battle of Shaoliang, only after Wei lost the Battle of Shaoliang, it was possible to let himself return to China under the pressure of the vassal states.

Zhou Bian suddenly had a direction, and wanted to take the initiative to urge himself to return to China, only by actively contacting Qin State, supporting Qin State to launch the Battle of Shaoliang, and then contacting Qi Zhao and other countries to put pressure on Wei State, there was hope, as for counting on Wei Hou to keep his word and take the initiative to let him return to China, Zhou Bian basically had no hope.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bian quickly recruited Ning Yue, here, when encountering major decisions and big decisions, only Ning Yue can discuss with him.

"Ning Qing, this king has decided that the dark group should actively develop westward."

"To the west? Qin State? Ning Yue, who had just sat down, was taken aback, and his upper body immediately straightened up.

"Yes, it's the Qin State, within a year, I want the secret group to be able to connect with the high-level of the Qin State, to be able to find out the movements of the Qin State, to be able to control the market rumors in the Qin State to a certain extent, to be able to give the Qin State material assistance to a certain extent, and most importantly, to make the Qin State and the Wei State not know that it is the Zhou royal family who is controlling all this behind my back."

"Qin State? Why the State of Qin? Ning Yue took two steps on his knees and asked eagerly, "Is the king trying to provoke a war between Qin and Wei so that he can get out of Wei?" ”

"Yes, exactly. From now on, in order to increase the financial support of the dark group, this king must control all this. ”

"The Qin State is on the verge of annihilation, only the land west of Weishui remains, and although the Qi State was defeated by the Wei State, the national strength has not been damaged, and the monarch of the Qi State can endure and will be able to work hard, why not choose the Qi State and provoke the Qi State to send troops to avenge the revenge of Puyang, wouldn't it be more appropriate?" Ning Yue arched his hand.

"Ning Qing, one is just a defeat in a war, and the other is a disaster for the country, which one do you think will be more desperate?"

"Also, the monarch of Qi can endure it, maybe we really can't wait for the day when he can't bear enough or think it's enough to send troops, and Qin doesn't want to recapture the land west of the river all the time, and doesn't want to recapture Hangu Pass, so, from the perspective of time, it's better for the Qin country." What Zhou Bian didn't say was that in the real history of later generations, the Battle of Shaoliang did take place before the Battle of Guiling.

"Oh well. It's just that the king, my royal family has been besieged by the Korean army for less than a year since last year, this year's crops have not yet been harvested, and various industries are also recovering. ”

"Besides, the Qin State is extremely xenophobic, and if you go rashly, no matter what kind of business it is, you are only afraid that the Qin people will not accept it. And the land that the Qin State is planning is Hexi, so it is better to send people to stand firm in the land of Hexi, and then try to contact the Qin people, how about it? ”

"Okay, just follow Ningqing." After thinking about it, Zhou Bian nodded.

Finally, ten days later, a young man named Zheng San packed up the package and left the Anyi City, where he had only lived for four months, all the way to the west, he could only ask all the way where the Hexi City called Pangcheng was, and he didn't know the impact he would have on the future.

In this way, after ten dull days, news came out in the Wei palace that the day of the princes of the alliance was set in September, more precisely, the day of the court meeting the Son of Heaven was specifically set on September 24, I hope that the day occupied by the wizard is a good day, after hearing this news, Zhou Bian thought.
