Chapter 21 King Qin enters Luoyang

When he came to the gate, it was almost noon, and Wei Yan hurriedly greeted him: "See my king." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ji Yan asked the driver to park the king's car in a hidden place, and said to Wei Yan: "Go, go up." ”

Accompanied by Wei Yan and a group of personal guards, Ji Yan quickly climbed the city wall, came to the top of the urn city, and raised his eyes to look out.

The May sun gently caressed the ancient royal city, bringing a little warmth to the cold air under the pressure of the army. In the vast field outside the city, several farmers were working in the farmland, it was hard to imagine how the thin bodies could support several times the number of Chinese people, and a few white clouds drifting away in embarrassment on the horizon, I don't know if they were frightened by the Qin army of the brigade. A large group of officials, musicians, maids, etc. were standing quietly by the moat, stretching their necks to look at the other side, like a flock of ducks with their necks lifted.

"What are these people doing?" Ji Yan asked, pointing at the group of people.

Wei Yan stepped forward and replied, "Taishi Yan asked them to wait here to welcome King Qin into the city." ”

Ji Yan shook his head and said, "It's really grand!" After saying that, he was silent.

"Since I heard that the Qin army is coming to Luoyang, the last general has been very worried, if they really want to attack the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us soldiers to hold it." Wei Yan looked at Ji Yan with burning eyes, and his eyes were full of admiration: "Fortunately, my Wang Tianzong was wise and came up with a way to welcome the suburbs, so that this military disaster was resolved." ”

Ji Yan shook his head expressionlessly and said, "If you want to talk about resolution, it's far from it." Only when Qin Jun left, did he dare to say that it was truly resolved. ”

Wei Yan smiled on the side and arched his hand: "My king has a plan to resolve the military disaster, why can't he see the situation in front of him clearly?" ”

"Oh? How so? Ji Yan came to be interested.

Wei Yan pondered for a moment and said: "Cao Di said to Lu Zhuang Gong: Husband war, courage also. One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. Watching the Qin army come east, they went down to Yiyang in two days, and they had a great deal of strength to take down the posture of my Zhou room. But since the capture of Yiyang, they have reached Mengjin for three full days, apparently their morale has declined, and they have lost their determination to take Luoyang. After our king greeted him with the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, they didn't even drive the team to the city. ”

Ji Yan's eyes lit up, and he asked: "Their 50,000 army is all iron horses, and it is only more than 100 miles from Yiyang to Mengjin, why is it declining?" ”

Wei Yan thought about it for a while this time: "Yesterday, I saw that the Qin army had not arrived, and the last general had been thinking about this issue, and he had already gained. In the view of the last general, when the King of Qin sent out his troops, he wanted to take the scenery and glory of the Zhou room, and after the battle of Yiyang, some people may advise, maybe he himself figured it out: take Luoyang, the gain is quite small, but it may be criticized by the people of the world, and the gains outweigh the losses, so he has the idea of retreating, but he is afraid that the retreat will lose his prestige, so he marches slowly. When the Son of Heaven was greeted by the suburbs of Mengjin, he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, completely abandoned the heart of attacking Luoyang, so he stationed the troops thirty miles outside the city, and only waited to enter Luoyang for a walk, and then took the troops back. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Yan arched his hand and said: "The last general will be the king, and the military disaster has indeed been eliminated." As expected, the King of Qin would never bring a large army with him when he entered the Luoyang Royal City, at most only 6,000 forbidden troops. ”

Ji Yan looked at Wei Yan happily: "The general is thoughtful and incisive, not bad." Then let's wait and see how many soldiers and horses King Qin will bring into the city. If it is as the general said, this king will be rewarded. ”

Wei Yan leaned over and thanked him.

At this moment, a large cloud of smoke and dust rose from the junction of the southern heaven and earth, and flocks of birds came out of the smoke and dust and quickly disappeared. The silent crowd by the moat began to turn to each other, and the soldiers on the city walls all stared nervously at the smoke and dust, their swords unsheathed, their arrows wound, motionless as stone statues.

Wei Yan also became slightly nervous: "Enlighten my king, the Qin army is about to arrive." ”

"Hmm." Ji Yan snorted expressionlessly.

A moment later, a black tide gushed out of the horizon and rushed towards the royal city, in the tide, the tall "Qin" character Daxu flew in the wind, and behind it was a "white" character flag. When the whole team arrived at the moat, Ji Yan covered his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, excluding the hundred officials and concubines brought by Yingdang, there were only about 1,000 horses in total.

"Qi my king, King Qin only brought a small number of guards over, look at the flag, it should be Bai Qi's headquarters of a thousand people." Wei Yan said on the side.

"General Wei is really insightful, this king said, there is a heavy reward. After the Qin army goes, you will be promoted to be the general of the forbidden army. ”

Wei Yan was excited, knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, King." ”

Ji Yan said in a deep voice: "Put the suspension bridge and open the city gate." ”

A moment later, with a screeching sound, the drawbridge clattered against the moat, and the moat became a thoroughfare.

A burst of music sounded, Yingdang stomped his feet, and the tall bronze king chariot stepped on the suspension bridge first, then entered the urn city, passed through the gate, and wandered straight towards the palace city. Hundreds of officials and concubines followed closely, and finally there were thousands of iron horsemen who rose white.

Seeing Nuoda's team gradually move away, Ji Yan walked down the city wall, hurried back to the palace in the royal car, and entered the central hall before Yingdang.

As he gradually went deeper into the royal city, Yingdang's mood gradually decreased. The palace buildings are stacked like mountains and valleys, the palace walls and palace ridges are erected high, the bright spring light is ruthlessly rejected, so that all the courtyards are shrouded in darkness, the imaginary golden splendor and lively prosperity are not traced, even the pedestrians in the royal city are almost gone, only the endless depth, the endless desertion, compared with the vigorous Xianyang, how far away.

In front of the central hall, Yingdang jumped out of the carriage, and under the guidance of Zongbo Ji Yong, he strode into the hall.

As soon as he stepped into the main hall, a burst of music sounded at the right time, and a team of royal honor guards walked out from the east side of the main hall. Ji Dong, the chief attendant who followed, shouted: "The Son of Heaven is coming!" King Qin Visit! With the old man's voice, a weak-crowned young man wearing a six-inch red jade crown and a large red and gold silk cloak walked out of the center of the honor guard.

King Qin Wu guessed that this should be Zhou Tianzi, and said slightly: "King Qin wins, visit King Zhou." The chief salute became an arch ceremony, which was completely untouched, but it was a big arrogance, guiding Ji Yong, who accompanied Yingdang, and Ji Dong, who followed the Son of Heaven, were all stunned, and they were all at a loss and embarrassed, and they didn't know how to save Zhou Tianzi's face.

Ji Yan was unconscious, and took a deep look at this tall man covered in bronze armor and wearing a black embroidered gold cloak, and also arched his hand and said: "King Qin, a distinguished guest from afar, it is an honor to come to Luoyang!" ”

Yingdang saw that this young son of heaven was still knowledgeable and interesting, so he no longer deliberately held it up, stepped forward and bowed deeply and said: "Yingdang came uninvited, bothering the Son of Heaven, don't blame!" ”

Ji Yan smiled indifferently and said: "Zhou and Qin are the same sect, love is better than brotherhood, the king of Qin has come from afar, and the royal family should set up a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust, please sit down." ”

Ji Yong had already prepared a banquet in the hall, and as soon as he glanced at the seats, he strode towards the main case side by side.

Ji Yan calmly walked to the other main case, and beckoned again: "King Qin, please take a seat." ”

Yingdang said with a smile: "Wangcheng wine banquet, what you wish in life, you can taste it today, and you will have no regrets for life!" Thank you, King Zhou. ”

Ji Yan still had that smile that was not salty or light: "The gift of the guest and the host should also be, why do you need to say thank you?" ”

The two sides sat down, Ji Yan and Ying Dang sat side by side in front of the main case in the south of the face, Yan Shu, the Taishi of the Zhou Dynasty, and Gan Mao, the prime minister and general of the Qin State, sat on both sides, and the rest of the ministers sat on both sides in order of title, and the soldiers sat outside the hall. Yingdang brought dozens of concubines, all of whom were few western women who walked out of Xianyang Palace. They lined up a large case behind the main case in a colorful manner, staring at the crude wine and food on the case with a smile, chattering and discussing, and their faces were full of disdain.

According to the Zhou etiquette, concubines are not allowed to sit at the banquet of diplomatic relations at all. However, the situation is stronger than people, in the face of Yingdang, a domineering monarch with empty eyes, and in the face of this group of western women who lack kingliness, the monarchs and ministers of the Zhou family have nothing to do, speechless, only red-faced and embarrassed and stiff to sit together, and there is no meaning of guests and hosts in the whole hall.

Ji Dong proclaimed: "Wash the dust for King Qin!" Played! ”

The melodious music followed, and the stiffness of the ministers of the Zhou room relaxed a little. Ji Yan raised the bronze wine statue on the case, and said loudly: "For King Qin, everyone drank this lord together." The ministers of the Zhou family shouted according to the etiquette: "King Qin is healthy, make another great contribution!" ”

I thought that everyone in the Qin State didn't play this game, and the ministers and generals and concubines shouted together: "Long live the King of Qin!" Dry! "The sound is uniform, and the aftermath lingers for a long time. The hundred officials of the Zhou room looked at each other, holding the wine and didn't know whether to drink together or put it down, and they were at a loss for a while.

Yingdang held up the wine venerable and laughed: "The old Qin people are rude and unliterate, come on, come on, do it!" He didn't thank the Son of Heaven around him, and drank it all. In a gurgling sound, the generals and ministers of the Qin State and the concubines also drank the wine in the middle of the knight.

Ji Yan turned a blind eye to all this, and drank it slowly with the wine alone, it was really fucking unpleasant! He said secretly in his heart.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven looked serene and colorless, the ministers of the Zhou family raised the wine and drank it silently. Zhou and Qin went their separate ways, and they didn't even get along.

After Yingdang finished drinking, he smashed his mouth, and then looked at the dishes on the table and shook his head: "It's too bland and tasteless, this is the wine of the Son of Heaven?" How can you eat enough cold pork for just two sides? Is the Luoyang Zhou Room really dilapidated? ”

Yan Shu said with a smile: "King Mingjian of Qin: The Zhou family has never had the right to govern the people of the land, but for more than a hundred years, the tributes of the princes have been gradually cut off, and the royal family's taxes are still difficult to maintain even for daily use, so how can there be good wine and meat?" Today, in order to entertain King Qin, he has taken out all the storage. As he spoke, he swept his gaze at the shabby ministers, and everyone was embarrassed and cramped.

O Cold! Ji Yan also felt sad, but said in his mouth: "The state of the Zhou and Qin brothers has a long history of friendship, whether it is the wine pond meat forest or the green vegetables and radishes, it is the affection of the Zhou family to treat the state of the brothers. ”

"Smack!" With a bang, Yingdang slapped the case and said loudly: "You deserve to be a real wretch, don't be!" Come, move out of the Great Qin Feng Wine brought by this king! Then move the army cattle, sheep, deer and bear meat, eat meat, and the big lord drinks is happy! ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Qi Huo Ran got up and walked out of the hall quickly. In a moment, a team of soldiers rushed in, moving dozens of black altars, each of which was pasted with a red silk, and a big "phoenix" character jumped on the altar with teeth and claws! Another team of soldiers walked into the hall quickly, each holding a large plate of sauce-colored dried meat assembled from cattle, sheep, deer and bear meat, and put down a plate for each case, and the rich aroma of meat immediately filled the entire hall.

Yingdang's eyes were slightly ridiculed and laughed: "Xiqi flavor, please taste the Son of Heaven!" ”
