Fortunately, there was nothing wrong all the way, Zhou Bian and the others returned to Chengzhou safely, it is expected that the assassins of this era have not yet formed a special organization, and they will not be able to launch a second wave of attacks after a blow, or they are considered to be a child, so they have not attracted attention, Zhou Bian thought, but thinking of this Zhou Bian couldn't help but warm up in his heart, if he organized a special assassin organization, how much effect would it play. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was an era of diversification, changing the law, strengthening the army, and hundreds of schools of thought emerged in an endless stream, and the assassins also shined alone, and they were the best among them, but they were all loners, if they could form an organization, they would definitely play an unpredictable and even critical role, thinking of this Zhou Bian couldn't help but feel that his heart was hot, and he couldn't wait to immediately let his organization go to the stage of the times.

After I went back, I didn't say anything all night. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the competition between the two sons of the Duke of Zhou is not necessarily a bad thing for the Zhou royal family, if the royal family can support one of them, it may be able to obtain considerable benefits, I am afraid that there are other vassal states interfering, and it is unstoppable with the power of the royal family. Perhaps on this night that was a sleepless night for some people, people such as Master Taishi were struggling to think about who they were going to support.

The next day, I didn't see the Queen Mother go out again, and the Taishi entered the palace as usual. Zhou Bian also started his own training. After seeing Zhou Gong's tragic appearance of being shot by two arrows yesterday, Zhou Bian began to pay attention to the training of shields. The standard armament of the Zhou royal army also had a shield, which was shaped like a tip at the top and a tip at the bottom, one shoulder width apart, and placed on the ground to the waist. As soon as Zhou Bian saw this shield, he was thinking about improving, the shield for special defense should be larger, up to the chest, and the rest of the shield should be round, pinned to the left arm, only protecting important parts, and the weight is lighter, so it will not become a burden when killing the enemy. But at this time, I still use this shield first. According to the application of the shield in later generations, Zhou Bian mainly taught them three kinds, one is for individual protection, that is, the body is half-squatting, and the shield is raised in the direction of the arrow, so that his whole body is hidden behind the shadow of the shield, the second is the fish scale array, seven people in front, seven people in the back, staggered array, everyone is close to each other, so that from a distance it looks like fish scales only see the shield, this formation of fourteen people is far from that kind of momentum, the third is the escort array, that is, several people raise the shield to protect the people such as Zhou Bian in the middle, The fourteen-sided shield is divided into two layers and encloses in a whole circle, wrapping Zhou Bian tightly, in fact, stacking the shield up and down together is also often used in the military formation, but at this time Zhou Bian asked to protect himself first, so he practiced this first.

Zhou Bian's practice method is very special, he walked in front of himself in the square, the fourteen people followed behind, and Ji Zhu stood in the distance. It is said that this Ji Zhu has never eaten other food since she ate white rice, and her stomach has never been troubled again, and even other nobles in and outside the palace have begun to love white rice. Speaking of military training, when Zhou Bian was walking with everyone, Ji Zhu decided when he wanted to, and shouted in the distance, and Zhou Mi and the others immediately rushed up and used the escort formation to tightly surround Zhou Bian, and they had to react quickly. At the beginning, when Zhou Bian first spoke, everyone still thought it was simple, but in practice, it was not like that, either Zhang Hu couldn't find his position, or Zhao Yan and Liu Zhi collided, or the fourteen shields actually had eight sides on the top and six sides below, and they couldn't make up for it, and someone rushed forward before Ji Zhu shouted, obviously overly nervous, and Ji Zhu laughed when he saw it in the distance, and he only felt that this was the funniest thing in the world. At this time, everyone knows that it is easier said than done, especially when Ji Zhu will shout, it is easy to make mistakes when he is nervous, not to mention doing it quickly and well, in fact, the response in case of emergency reflects the quality of the quality, which is also the direction of Zhou Bian's training. Fortunately, Zhou Bian was not in a hurry, but just asked for repeated practice.

Now there are very few guards around the square to watch, because Zhou Bian has asked for it, and Sima Tu, the chief of the palace guards, has specially instructed him. However, at this time, when Zhou Bian and the guards were practicing, they saw a guard running from the small gate on the north side in a panic, shouting, "There are soldiers and horses coming from outside the city, assemble quickly!" Seeing the guard's panicked appearance, Zhou Bian couldn't help frowning, this quality is too poor, and the most taboo thing as a soldier is panic.

Thinking in his heart, Zhou Bian still asked everyone to stop and told Ji Zhu to hurry back to his small courtyard, while he took the guards to the north palace wall. This palace is built in the north of Chengzhou City, the north wall of the palace is the north wall of Chengzhou, the north side of the city wall is a wasteland, but the south of Chengzhou is Luoshui, so if there are soldiers and horses coming, it should naturally come to the north.

Ascending the north palace wall, Zhou Bian found that there were already many guards running around on the city wall, panicking, and some were still holding bows and arrows, but the bow and arrow were obviously very worn, and the ash on the bowstring covered the original color.

Regardless of despising this palace guard who had no military qualities, Zhou Bian looked out as soon as he climbed the city wall, only to see a dusty east side, and a force of thousands of people slowly coming, and he couldn't see whose army it was from a distance. On his side, he saw the Beigong gate open, and the two carriages drove there surrounded by a cadre of guards, and Zhou Bian looked carefully, it was the Queen Mother and the Taishi.

And Cai Wu had already grabbed a guard who was looking into the distance and asked, seeing Zhou Bian showing a puzzled and anxious gaze, he hurriedly came back to report. It turned out that the person who came was the son's class, after returning to Gongyi in a hurry yesterday, he gathered a large army this morning and went straight to Luoyang to kill, at this time it was the time, and he wanted to come to this son's class before dawn and set off, and it was difficult for him to take over Gongyi for a long time to be able to gather so many people so quickly.

Seeing a team of men and horses coming out of Chengzhou City, the troops stopped, and the Queen Mother and others approached smoothly.

For a while, seeing that the Queen Mother had not returned, when Zhou Bian was worried, he only heard someone shouting around him, look to the west. It turned out that the left side also raised dust, don't think about it, this must be the army of the Gongzi Dynasty, these two brothers, actually have the same thoughts, they both got up early today, set off at the same time, and met in Chengzhou, which is in the middle between Luoyang and Gongyi.

The troops of the Gongzi Dynasty stopped when they were a stone's throw away from the troops of the Gongzi Dynasty, and the two carriages that came out of Chengzhou City headed for the troops to the west. After a while, I thought it was the Queen Mother who would make peace with the two, and there were more than a dozen troops on both sides, looking at the posture to be in the middle round. Seeing that this battle could not be fought, Zhou Bian was breathing a sigh of relief, but things suddenly changed again, when the dozen or so people on both sides had not yet met, they didn't know what had happened, and they each retreated to their own teams. The Queen Mother and the dozens of them were stunned in the middle, and then they rushed to the Chengzhou Palace, eagerly as if fleeing for their lives.

After a while, I saw that the Taishi went up to the city wall, and the Queen Mother should have returned to the palace directly. As soon as the Taishi came up, he called for the door to be closed, and asked Sima Tu to immediately rectify the city defense, and there was immediately a rush on the city wall. When I looked out of the city again, I saw that the two armies had already charged each other, and they looked neat when they stood just now, but this time they immediately ran into chaos, some ran fast, some ran slowly, and the teams on both sides were in an uproar, colliding together in an orderly manner, and there was chaos.

Zhou Bian shook his head and turned around and walked towards the Taishi, he really wanted to know what had happened just now.

The Taishi instructed a circle of people around him before he paid attention to Zhou Bian, "Your Highness, in fact, the old man and the queen mother have already said just now that the two sons will each withdraw their troops, and they will take Zhou Gong's coffin back to Luoyang first, and then decide the rest of the matter." The two sons originally agreed, and they were about to meet to finalize it, but they didn't want the childe's class to hide their scheming, so they ordered their subordinates to take the opportunity to sneak attack Gongzi Chao with bows and arrows, and an arrow hit Gongzi's left arm, injuring Gongzichao, and Gongzichao was furious. The old man couldn't persuade him anymore, so he pulled the queen mother back, fortunately the old man saw the opportunity in time, otherwise it would not be good to be swept in. “

Zhou Bian couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard this, if it wasn't really Gongziban's murder of his father, could it be that Gongziban really had the intention of competing for the position of Zhou Gong?

While he was thinking about it, there was a lot of fighting outside the city, and the shouts were heard in the city, and some people on the city wall were trembling and some were fascinated. This battle was fought from near noon to dusk, it turned out that the armies on both sides had not trained for a long time, the combat skills of the sergeants were not high, there were many of them who were called to kill less, and they had killed for a few hours without knowing the winner or losing, seeing that the sky was about to be dark, the generals on both sides were busy Mingjin and collected the troops, and there was a burst of chaos, some people were killing Zhengshuang, and they did not want to leave, and some were unable to distinguish between the enemy and me, and they actually went to the wrong camp, and when they found that they were wrong, they turned around and left, and no one stopped them, and the chaos only lasted for half an hour before the two teams were separated, Then they formed their own formations, and those who went east to the east, and those who went west to the west. When everyone on the city wall looked down at the city again, there were only dozens of corpses, and it turned out that after killing for half a day, both sides only had this bit of lethality, and they hadn't even killed resolutely in the small farm yesterday, which made Zhou Bian can't help but despise it.

In fact, Zhou Bian didn't know this, the subordinates on both sides in the small farm yesterday were the closest people, not to mention their skills, and they were the most loyal to their masters, so they naturally fought hard, and today, these large troops, especially the generals on both sides, have not yet agreed with their respective masters, so naturally the perfunctory elements of the fight are the majority. But then again, no matter what, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is still very poor, and they can't get into Zhou Bian's eyes at all.
