In the wide Guide Hall, Zhou Bian sat on it, and the two columns below it were doctors on one side and military generals on the other, and the two columns were full of kneeling opposite each other, holding Yugui, and the silent and serious atmosphere spread into the hall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yes, the king summoned suddenly, and everyone knew it was for that.

Although it has been less than an hour since the Han army retreated, even the nobles of the most closed news in Luoyang City, even the traveling merchants of the countries who are the least concerned about the war situation, and even the chaotic people gathered in the broken houses on the streets, almost all know the catapults that the Han army suddenly took out in today's battle.

This is the greatest reliance and advantage of the royal family, but it still leaked out and became a tool for the Han army to show off its might, even the most sluggish villagers can imagine the anger in the heart of the young king at this time.

The so-called Son of Heaven was angry, and the blood flowed like a river, although this statement was a bit exaggerated, but at this time, in the main hall of the Guide Hall, hundreds of people had to bow their heads and remain silent, even if it was the Taishi and the young master, they did not dare to come out easily at this time and be the first to bear the wrath of the king. Yes, at this time, the Han army's catapults have been pushed to the doorstep, what else can be remedied except anger? What's more, although this son of heaven is young, his temper is not small at all.

So the only thing in the hall was the sound of breathing.

After a while, it was Zhou Bian who broke the peace.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this king hurriedly summoned you over, don't you have anything to say?"

Hearing the king's tone, it was quite calm, and the Taishi was the first to speak, "Don't be angry, the king, although the Han army has made a catapult, it is obviously not the essential, and it is still not the enemy of our army." Luoyang is still safe and sound. ”

"These kings also know, but the top priority is to quickly find out how this catapult is made, how did Han Jun know? This is the king's view, and this is extremely important. Zhou Bian said coldly.

Taishi was stunned, and then bowed and saluted, "Congratulations to my king, in this major event, he can still be so calm, not boring or hot, and quite a civil and military phoenix." The ministers sighed to themselves. ”

Zhou Bian laughed when he heard this, "Let's say less about these words in the future, who is this king, you don't know it, how can you get angry indiscriminately?" It is imperative to find out how the information about the catapult was leaked. This king is only afraid that some more important information in Luoyang City will let Han Jun know. This time I have invited you here to discuss this matter together, what do you have in mind? Or, do you think, how did Han Jun know about this catapult? ”

Instead of talking for half a day, it is better to get straight to the point, efficient and direct.

Sure enough, as soon as the king spoke, the following began to exchange words again, the consistent style of the Luoyang royal court. Some are discussing, some are exploring the wind, but there are also many people who are silent, and it seems that most of them have their own ideas.

"The king, the old man also imagined that there are city walls on all sides of Luoyang, and the soldiers patrol day and night, so it is said that it is difficult to spread the news outside the city, and the soldiers in the army are all natives of Luoyang, and there are villagers who protect each other when recruiting soldiers, and there should be no possibility of Koreans mixing into it. And a few days ago, it was found that there were Koreans in the city who were in rebellion, maybe these Koreans sent them out? The Taishi opened his mouth first in confusion.

It was Bai Gui who took over, "Taishi, I also thought that if you want to get the appearance of a catapult, you have to get close, and more than 200 catapults in Luoyang City are on the inside of the city wall, when the Han army did not attack the city, there were only a few people guarding it, and everyone in the city could go to see it, so it is still easy to know the structure of this catapult." The difficulty is how to send the news out, and to send the news out must pass through the city walls, can someone take advantage of the darkness to climb out of the city? ”

The young master was not happy, "Doctor Bai, there are sergeants patrolling the city wall day and night, a few days ago it was a little lax, and the Han army started to build the catapult only ten days ago, at that time, my Luoyang city patrol was very strict, and there was a royal guard patrol, if the Han army had already received the news, there was no possibility of waiting until ten days ago to start building." The old man thought that it should not be out of the city wall in the middle of the night, there should be another way. ”

"Is it a waterway, there is also a river in the city that leads to the outside of the city, if the catapult is painted on a cloth and tied to driftwood, and floats out of the river, the Han army may be able to get it." It was Zhao Biao who spoke, and it seemed that he had thought about it well.

However, Ning Yue shook his head and denied it, "Doctor Zhao, there are three waterways in the city leading to Luoshui in the south, but they are all equipped with wooden fences, which are cleaned every day, and it is difficult for driftwood in the city to float out of the city." And if it can float out of the city, the Luoshui has been turbulent in the past few days, how can the Korean army salvage it. I thought it wasn't through a waterway. ”

Zhao Biao was suddenly a little tired, and glared at Ning Yue, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the king, saying that these two people were not very harmonious in the era of Zhou Gong.

So what kind of way can you receive the communication between the city wall and the outside?

"Could it be that the Korean army ran out at night on the night of the night attack?" The bold assumption is Tianyi.

However, it was quickly vetoed by everyone, and in the dark night, if he ran out of the city, he would be killed by Han Bing as a Luoyang person. And it is impossible for the Korean soldiers to remember the appearance of the catapult after a few glances during the siege, you must know that the main body of the catapult is behind the city wall, and it is not so easy to be exposed when the Korean army is attacking the city.

The crowd was lost in thought.

Zhou Bian sighed, there is a simple and extremely feasible way to spread the news out of the city, why didn't anyone think of it? Is it limited by the way we think about it?

"Guys, do you have any other opinions?"

I still asked, if no one really thought of it, then I had to say it myself, which I thought of by chance when I watched the battle in the morning, but after thinking about it, I found that it was extremely feasible. Although it is nothing to say it yourself, it is also conducive to establishing your own prestige, but as a king, I still hope that my subordinates can think of it.

After all, who doesn't want to have a good hand, so they don't have to worry about it. It's a pity that the Taishi and the young masters are too mediocre, and the implementation of the established measures is okay, so it is a little difficult for them to come up with an idea. Bai Gui had a hand in business, but his administrative skills were short-lived, and the royal family's return to Luoyang seemed to have exhausted all of its current political capacity. Ning Yue can play some small tricks, but the overall situation is still a little worse. The rest of the people, hey, are basically just usable.

Just when Zhou Bian looked around and was about to say what he thought, he finally heard someone move.

First, he coughed lightly twice, and when he saw everyone looking at him, the man spoke, "King, everyone, the old man has something to say. ”

It turned out to be Yiying, one of the nobles in the city, a wise man invited by Zhou Weigong in the past, but since the royal family returned to Luoyang, he has not shown anything.

"The Han army brazenly attacked my Luoyang, which is really despising my royal family, and its behavior is not right, and it deserves to be punished by heaven. The old man is old and unbearable to go to the city to fight in the first battle, which is a pity, but fortunately, there is a small child righteous district to serve my king in front of the army. Every time the child returns home, he has to tell the old man about the scene of defending the city, so that although the old man can't be in person, he feels the same as him. Today, the old man also heard about the Han army's catapult, and the old man was thinking about how the Han army knew that there must be an internal response in the city, and how the internal response sent the news, which really made the old man incomprehensible, and he still couldn't understand it, until he remembered what the child said about defending the city on our army's thing, and he suddenly realized, so the old man's intention, he thought that if the Korean army wanted to send the news out of the city, it must have fallen on this thing. ”

Yi Ying shook his head and shook his head, it doesn't matter if it is not stinky and long, fortunately, the ministers present are all cultivated people, Yi Ying usually has no offended people, and there are good Tianyi in the past, etc., nodding again and again to show cooperation, so that his first performance in front of the king can leave a good impression. I don't know if it's a good impression, but this shaking of his head must have left a deep impression on the king.

Hearing that Yi Ying finally sold a pass, all the ministers were itching their teeth, but the king sitting on top of him only smiled and did not speak.

After a while, Taishi couldn't help it, "Doctor Yi, hurry up, we don't know what your words are." ”

In fact, I originally wanted to wait for the king to ask, but it was still the master who asked, Yi Ying couldn't help but be a little depressed, but he didn't show it, touched his long beard, and continued to shake his head and said, "King, everyone, the old man thinks that that is the catapult that our army must use in every battle." If the catapult is painted on the cloth, and then the cloth is tied to the stone and thrown outside the city, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Korean army, and the purpose of the Korean army's internal response will be achieved. ”

As soon as Yiying's voice fell, the whole hall was in an uproar, this method is also okay? There are those who suddenly come to their senses, there are those who have doubts, and there are those who doubt directly. However, Zhou Bian smiled, the hero sees the same thing, although Yi Ying is old and has many words, this way of thinking is flexible. Indeed, what Zhou Bian thought of himself was the masonry thrown by the catapult.

Of course, there are still many direct doubters, and the young master directly opened fire, "Doctor Yi, the old man has doubts, there is a cloth tied to this brick and stone, how can the people not find out, could it be that the hundreds of people in a catapult are all Koreans?" ”

Yi Ying continued to shake his head, "The old man said that the tie is not tied to the outside, the large green bricks, slowly pull out the middle, stuff it inside, and then make up for it outside, so that other people will be difficult to find." And after this brick is thrown, it will be smashed to the ground, and the cloth will be exposed. ”

When he said this, he couldn't help but nod his head, many ministers also nodded again and again, Zhou Bian also smiled, and Yi Ying really used his brain.

However, there are still people who do not follow, "Doctor Yi, I have consulted, this brick has sent the cloth out, if Han Bing does not pay attention, it will not be in vain." Among the tens of thousands of Korean soldiers, not everyone may think that it is unusual for there to be strips of cloth in the masonry. ”

"If you have the time to prepare a few more bricks, that's it, someone will notice." Yoshimaki was quick to give the answer.

There are fewer doubts now, but some people have raised new questions, "It's very likely, it's just tens of thousands of people, who didn't check their identities one by one when they were recruited, and there were one or two Koreans mixed in, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out at this time." ”

Everyone turned their attention to Yiying again, but this time Yiying didn't move, "Maybe we have to spend effort to verify them one by one." ”

What kind of method is this, tens of thousands of people to find one or two people, but I am afraid that before I find it, I have already alarmed the other party, but I am afraid that Yi Ying himself knows that it is not feasible.

So there was a lot of discussion.

After half a ring, he still had no idea, and this time Zhou Bian had to speak.

"What the righteous doctor said, this king thinks it is true, maybe this is the case, this king can no longer think of any other way. However, if you want to find out this person, this king has a way, have you forgotten that Han Jun only started to make catapults ten days ago? It can be seen that the catapult must have leaked out during the great war eleven days ago, so just find an excuse to find out the new people before the last war. I hope you don't leak the news today, and you may be able to find this person before noon tomorrow. ”

"The king is wise!"

At this time, the ministers were not convinced, it seems that the king has already thought of the problem, and also has an idea, this is just an examination school. So there was a compliment and a statement in the Guide Palace, the monarch and the ministers happily left, and several ministers left alone to set a specific plan, and everything was waiting for tomorrow morning.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

At the same time, in the camp of the Korean army, all the generals gathered, and the tent was overcrowded, but unlike in the past, it was not the general Han Hu who sat on it, but a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes. And the supreme commander of the 100,000 army, the general Han Hu, knelt in the middle of the hall, facing the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's face is red, and if you look closely, you will find that it is a slightly abnormal flush, with some white silk mixed with hair, leaning on the low table, squinting slightly, and the spirit is not very good.

"Tiger, when the first monarch was there, you were already a general, fighting in the north and south, and the martial arts were abundant, especially the battle to destroy Zheng, and it was a great achievement, since the first monarch went, for many years, you have been guarding the southeast, so that the Chu country did not dare to look north, and the widow took it as the weight of the south. This time, the widow was blatantly determined to correct the name of the king of Zhou, restore the country for the first Duke of Zhou, think about it, and finally send the general you, allocate 100,000 troops and horses, and limit the time of one month, so that you can capture Luoyang. ”

"But I didn't think that I hadn't left the Korean border, and I was attacked by the enemy at night in the city, and just entered the Zhou realm, I was burned by a fire to the grain and grass, and these were just that, I didn't want to attack the city for a month, and the soldiers were numerous, but it was always fruitless, and the small Luoyang, so that the widow could not believe it. What's the problem? Do you have anything to say to the widow? ”

Han Hu had no choice but to kowtow when he heard this, "Your Majesty, the old minister has nothing to say." ”

It turned out that this middle-aged man was Han Hou today, who arrived yesterday, and after watching the battle today, he began to go crazy.

"General Tiger, you're old." Han Hou said slowly.

What does this mean, all the generals in the account couldn't help but guess and even muttered, is the king going to drive Han Hu away?

And Han Hu, who was kneeling on the ground, although he had already guessed the result, couldn't help but shiver and tremble a few times.

"Your Excellency, your subordinates think that changing generals in battle is really a taboo for soldiers. And his subordinates also watched the last two battles behind the battle, our army can not be said to be brave, it is really the Zhou room to defend the city, not the fault of the main general. General Han Hu has been fighting for many years and has managed the army well, and there is no fault in attacking Luoyang this time, and please don't want to change the idea of changing generals. ”

When everyone heard this, the first person to speak for Han Hu was Gongsun Qi, who had been standing beside Han Hou.
