Chapter 41: Layout

"Ni Tao. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After Zhang Meng walked out, Wu Ming turned to look at Ni Tao, who was waiting, and said: "Order the army to rest immediately, and in an hour you will set off with an army of 40,000 to set up camp in the wilderness a hundred miles north of Yicheng, and after you arrive, arrange for people to set up sentry posts fifty miles south of Yicheng and Fengyu, and organize the local defenders and people to strengthen the city defense, and make a look of strengthening the guard." ”

"The last will be ordered." smashed the same heavy punch on his chest as Zhang Meng, and Ni Tao answered the order.

However, after the words landed, Ni Tao asked suspiciously, "General, how should the 15,000 soldiers left behind be arranged?" ”

The blazing eyes stared at a location on the map for a while, Wu Ming raised his head, and said calmly: "These soldiers, I will have other plans, except for the 5,000 veterans taken away by Zhang Meng, there are still 15,000 of these more than 55,000 people who have been on the battlefield, you take 10,000 and leave 5,000 for me." When I got to the place to strengthen the exploration of South Korea, less than a hundred miles southeast of Fengyu is Xiaomu Feng, which is the junction of my Great Wei and the weak guard. Also......"

At this point, Wu Ming made a gesture to signal Ni Tao to move forward, and while pointing to the map, he whispered something close to Ni Tao's ear.

Under Wu Ming's strict advice, Ni Tao couldn't stop nodding, the two of them did this and this for a while, Wu Ming stood up straight, and his rigorous voice blurted out at that moment: "Do you understand all this?" ”

"The last general understands that this time will not disappoint the general."

"Okay, let's go down and get ready to go."

"Yes." With a solemn face, Ni Tao turned around and strode out of the tent in response.

In the empty tent, Wu Ming looked at the map carefully, and after making a few markers, folded the map together and stuffed it into a simple storage box similar to a shoulder bag of later generations.

Carrying the simple storage box on his side, Wu Ming strode out of the camp tent, and ordered the soldiers guarding the camp on one side to bring fast horses and go straight to the national capital Daliang in the southeast.

Because it is winter, the weather is cold, and yesterday's snow began to become slippery after the sun at noon, and although it is an official road that is often walked, some places have become quagmire.

In the afternoon, a cold wind blows the Central Plains again, the snow on the slippery ground is muddy and all condensed into ice, the road surface at this time is the most slippery, not to mention the extreme speed of the horse, even if a person walks on it carefully, it is very likely that a person will accidentally plant his head.

So this time, Wu Ming's speed slowed down a lot, and when it was dark, the three hundred miles he was supposed to walk was only a little more than half.

However, Wu Ming was not in a hurry because of the slow speed, after all, in the future life, he would often worry about rain and snow. In the troubled times of the Warring States Period, most of the population was in the city, and there were not many small villages outside, so if something happened, no one would know where he was.

So Wu Ming didn't take advantage of the dark night to continue his journey, but found a nearby inn to rest.

The next day, after a day's travel, I finally came to Tangyi, two hundred miles away from Daliang City, when it was dark. It wasn't until noon on another day that Wu Ming entered the Great Liang King City.

Speaking of which, Wu Ming had already entered Daliang in the morning, but he was unwilling to participate in those court affairs, and the reason why he entered the royal city at noon was to avoid the court meeting in the morning.

Under the bright sun, there is no wind in the surrounding calm, which is a rare good weather in winter.

In the back garden of the palace, King Wei Hui was lying on a wooden rocking chair leisurely basking in the sun, and in front of him was a special case with some desserts that Huiyang loved to eat on weekdays.

Not far from his left hand is a futon, and there is a person kneeling on the futon, who is the doctor who has recently performed actively in the court and is famous for a while-Chen Zhen.

In the calm surroundings, there are no palace maids serving, no eunuchs on the side, and some are just this monarch and a minister.

I saw Chen Zhen at this time with a modest smile on his face, and arched his hand and said: "The king has praised Weichen, the biggest credit for the successful implementation of Hedong Liangtian Water Conservancy should be the general, if there is no proposal from him, Weichen has no way, but he doesn't know how to implement it, just like Weichen is water, it is the general who dug the channel to drain Weichen to the right path." ”

"Hehe, Wu Aiqing's merits are well known to the widow, so you don't need to tell the widow." After listening to Chen Zhen, King Wei Hui instantly showed that somewhat helpless smile, "Speaking of this Wu Aiqing, you said he, how come there is such a talented person in the world, the widow doesn't know how to reward him, don't follow him and invite him again, it will give the widow a headache!" ”

"Alas......" sighed softly, King Wei Hui waved his hand and chuckled: "Speaking of which, this is the first person who has a headache because of his ability to do things." Let's not talk about him, let's not talk about him......

However, Aiqing, your credit is also obvious to all, even Hui Aiqing said that the fertile fields in Hedong irrigated by water flow are better than anywhere else. I don't know what reward Aiqing wants, so I can talk about it. ”

Although King Wei Hui had already spoken, just like in the court before, how could Chen Zhen, who had a smooth brain, really ask for benefits?

With a faint smile, Chen Zhen raised his hands above his head, and buried his head in the gap between his arms, and said solemnly without seeing the dark color: "Weichen can benefit my Great Wei and share the worries of the king, Chen Zhen has no regrets in this life." ”

"Aiqing can have this heart, the widow is very relieved in his heart, but the merit and demerit still have to be clearly divided, there is a punishment, there is merit, and it must be rewarded, since Aiqing has nothing to ask for, then the widow will decide for himself."

Under the gaze of King Wei Hui, on the futon, Chen Zhen still maintained his previous posture, but the look in his eyes was a little more awe-inspiring, "Weichen, it's all up to the monarch to decide." ”

A gust of wind blew without warning, and King Wei Hui suddenly put away his smiling face, and said: "I will reward Aiqing with fifty taels of gold, and the position of the left watch has been vacant, so I will seal Aiqing as the left watch." Tomorrow morning, the widow will announce it to the public at this time, and I hope that Aiqing will do his best to develop the water conservancy matter to the whole country and benefit the people. ”

After a lot of hard work and several twists and turns, isn't it at this time that Chen Zhen is waiting?

As soon as he heard King Wei Hui's words, Chen Zhen kowtowed deeply, and his voice was indescribably respectful: "Weichen Xie Jun is in love, and this life is full of liver and brain, and he will live up to the great kindness of the king." ”

"There is no need to smear the liver and brain, as long as Aiqing is conscientious." Waving his hand, King Wei Hui narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Aiqing, excuse me." ”
