Seeing that the courtier he valued made such a statement, Gao Yue's mood was also very high, and he said with a smile on his face: "Okay! If you can bear it with all your might, I will feel free in my heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 However, the strength of Zhao State has been repeatedly frustrated, but after all, the foundation is strong, and Shi Hu is a man who fights and kills the poor soldiers, and he can still gather 200,000 soldiers, and he will not easily give up south of Jizhou. Qing said, after going to Yecheng, what kind of tricks do you plan to use to defend the palace? ”

Wu Xia was happy in his heart, and he also felt that he was not happy to vomit today. He paused and said earnestly: "Your Majesty." The minister is a fool, where can he come up with any clever tricks? It can only be a solid foundation step by step. As I said earlier, work hard work. For example, when it comes to defending a city, it is a common rule to dig trenches and wells all over the outside of the city. Ordinary people defend the city, and the range and distance of seventy or eighty zhang are dug out from the city wall, which is a regular size. Those who are more careful will dig farther, one hundred and twenty zhang. And the minister is even more stubborn, every time he goes, he orders to dig out at least one hundred and fifty zhang, and if the time is slow, it can even reach one hundred and eighty zhang! ”

Gao Yue let out a low cry in surprise. Defending the city is indeed a trivial and tedious work that cannot tolerate a little sloppiness, and it is particularly grinding. Digging trenches, swinging horses, it seems simple, but the manpower scheduling and labor intensity involved in the light are very laborious, the vast majority of generals defend the city, according to the convention, basically dig out a distance of fifty or sixty zhang, even if it is up to standard, I really didn't expect Wu Xia to be able to be so serious.

Everywhere he went, he advocated the reform of the old system such as city gates, city walls, and city outlines, and found omissions in the details, and then strengthened and corrected them. When the enemy is attacking the city, he will build ladders, run hooks and anchors, and dig tunnels, but there is nowhere to start. In addition, the minister believed that those who are good at defending the city should not only defend without attacking, but should defend and attack, and pay attention to communicating the roads inside and outside the city, so as to facilitate the attack and disturbance at any time, so that he can feel the danger at any time. Enemy soldiers are also human beings, and they will also be frightened, and after a long time, they will not be able to succeed, so they will not want to waste time with the ministers, and often run away by themselves. ”

Seeing the emperor's shocked face, Wu Xia felt as if he had received some kind of reward, and continued: "At the beginning, some subordinates did not understand the various requirements of the minister, and even the working people complained privately that the minister had nothing to do, which was extraordinary. Danchen not only asked for this, but also personally participated, and all kinds of manual work came, so that people had nothing to say in the end. Don't hide it from Your Majesty, dig deep trenches, and set traps, the minister is really a good hand! Later, after many actual combat tests, the defense presided over by the minister was lucky that there was no mistake, so slowly the big guy was convinced, and he was willing to listen to the minister's various excessive demands and manipulations, hehe. In addition, when time is tight and the task is heavy, the minister is willing to take out his savings and reward the soldiers and the people generously while issuing strict military orders to complete the deadline......"

"What? Are you a dignified general, and you personally participate in the labor service? Or take private money to subsidize official work? ”

Gao Yue blinked his eyes, even more surprised. I have always only known that Wu Xia is very good at defense, but he has not asked for details, and today is really refreshing. In the world of selfish desires where people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, this kind of fool is difficult to find even if he asks the whole world.

Wu Xia smiled and said, "Yes." Participating in labor services and exercising their bodies, His Majesty's ministers are now much stronger than before. Speaking of paying out of pocket, in fact, the minister looks stupid, but the truth couldn't be simpler. The minister only advanced some private money, and he was able to do the errand assigned by His Majesty properly, and with a small merit, His Majesty naturally rewarded and punished clearly. But if it is just a rigid order, it will no longer be ignored, and the defense will not be implemented, once the city is broken, let alone money, even the life will be taken to the enemy, and when the time comes, people will die, and they will be infamous, why bother? Therefore, the minister is using a small capital to make a big deal, which is actually very worthwhile. ”

After listening to Wu Xia's honest words, Gao Yue was very emotional, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he shook his head and sighed for a while: "The four words of concentration seem simple, but in fact it is the most difficult!" And it is even more difficult to do the simplest trivial things well with years of perseverance. Wu Qing, I am really lucky, I have to be loved by God, but to send a talent like you to my side, it is really the Great Wall of my Great Qin! ”

Hearing Gao Yue's true feelings, Wu Xia was also quite moved, and just when he didn't know what to say to be grateful, he heard the guards outside report: "Your Majesty! Li Songnian asked to see him. ”

Gao Yue responded, and as soon as the light brightened, a figure flashed in quickly, and bowed down: "Minister Li Songnian, there is an urgent matter to play Your Majesty!" ”

"Say it."

Listening to his hurried voice, it was rare with excitement. Gao Yue's heart moved, knowing that Li Songnian must have brought some extraordinary news.

Li Songnian kowtowed a few times, raised his head, looked at Gao Yue, and then at Wu Xia, his face was a little unnatural, and he was silent.

Wu Xia immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, please go to the Privy Council to handle the handover matters." ”

Gao Yue waved his hand: "Don't worry." Wu Qing is loyal and upright, and there is no need to avoid it. Li Songnian, stand up and say it directly. ”

"Yes." Li Songnian got up and couldn't help but get straight to the point: "After several days of close investigation, the minister's subordinates wiped out the four accomplices of the murderer who assassinated His Majesty last night. After an overnight interrogation, not only did they find out who was guilty of the crime, but they also found out who was behind the scenes. According to all kinds of effective information, this matter really has nothing to do with Shi Sheng. ”

Hearing this, Wu Xia was shocked in his heart. He knew that the matter was very important, and he regretted that he had not insisted on avoiding it just now, but now that he was here, of course he was more curious, and wanted to hear the truth.

Last night, Zishi, Sizhou Ji County, Hui County.

In an ordinary house somewhere in the north of the city, on the table in the corner of the house, a bean-like lamp lit weakly, occasionally writhing a few times, and a few puffs of black smoke came up. The light cast faintly on the gray wall, like an anemic face.

In the dimness of almost unsightly, five faces of different shapes were tightly surrounding the lamp, whispering something urgently. But one of them said gloomily, "...... Hide the dagger in the belly of the fish, thanks to him Zhu Xiaokui came up with a wonderful idea by himself! But in the end, he failed to kill Gao Yue, after all, his hands and feet were not sharp enough, not only did he spoil the big thing, but also scared the snake, making us very passive. His bereavement pension, don't send it yet! ...... "His face was long, his features could not be seen in the dimness, and only a pair of eyes shone brightly.

The first person on the left couldn't help but say: "It's a pity for Xiao Kui!" He has always been loyal to his master, knowing that there is a dead end, and he is willing to assassinate him, although he fell short in the end, he is still a good person. He has now lost his life for his master, and he still has a young brother at home, and in my opinion, the bereavement should be ......."

The previous man waved his hand, and the second man stopped squeaking. Obviously, the long-faced man was a leader. Seeing that everyone was silent and lowered their heads, the long-faced man also seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he relieved and said, "Don't send it for the time being." When we go back, we will make arrangements for the master, and in short, we will definitely take care of Xiao Kui's younger brother! ”

Several people looked up. The other said, "What, we're going back?" It should be safe here! The ghost can imagine that we are not in Luoyang, but we are remotely commanding in this inconspicuous Hui County, and what is even more unexpected is that we can hide in the mansion of the officials of the Great Qin Yamen. As he spoke, he put his arms around the shoulders of the last person and chuckled, "Did you say yes, my Xing Zhutou?" ”

Several pairs of eyes looked at each other, and several sneers rang out. Na Xing Zhutou was silent for a while, and sighed: "Our Hui County is located in the northeast of Sizhou, bordering Jizhou, which is the handover with Zhao State. In the past few years, the two armies of Qin and Zhao have been fighting back and forth, and the war has continued, today belongs to Qin, and I don't know when it will be taken away by the Zhao people, the beacon is full of fire, we live every day are scared ghost days, and we have to be sent by the county order and county Cheng in various ways, tired like a dog! The reason why I agreed to cooperate with you is that you said that you would give me a reward afterwards. After I took the money, I didn't stay in Huixian anymore, and went to Liangzhou to join my cousin, and lived a stable life from then on. If it weren't for me Xing someone who was willing to be the traitor who betrayed the country and sought glory, I was really fed up. ”

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the long-faced man, but he nodded: "The money will be given to you." Gossip is not to say, during this time, the Qin State carried out a large-scale detective investigation, and Luoyang and the surrounding area were turned upside down. Although Huixian is still calm, it is always good to take precautions in advance. The master has an order, in order to avoid exposure, so that we will all evacuate Sizhou by tomorrow at the latest, escape from the Qin realm, and go to Sangqiu City in northern Hebei. If you don't see him, then go straight to Fanyang, Youzhou, to meet him......"

"To Youzhou? In this way, Shi Hu is almost unreliable! Does the owner want to? ”

The long-faced man said impatiently: "The matter involves confidentiality, so I won't mention it for now, and I'll talk about it after I see the master." Let me now turn to tomorrow's evacuation. Although there are only four of us, we can't go at the same time, we have to ...... like this."

He was talking about the route, and the fat man under Leng Buding called in a low voice: "Ouch, I'm going to squat in my stomach, I want to squat." As he spoke, he was about to go out of the house with his stomach in his hands.

The long-faced man said coldly: "Let's eat together in the evening." Everyone's fine, you are good, which door is going to be pulled? ”

The fat man haggled and explained, "I don't know either." The stomach has been making noise for a long time, and we have been enduring it, not to say anything. This is really unbearable. ”

The long-faced man paused, but said, "The black light is blind, safety is important!" I'm not worried that you're single. In this way, Lao Wu, you go with him! ”

Another person next to him, Lao Wu, came out in response. The long-faced man waved his hand, and the fat man didn't say much, nodded and pulled the door and went out, and the old man followed and went out, covering the door with his backhand.
