Chapter 477 - Vertical and Horizontal (5)

The mansion of General Bai Xuan of Zhao Guoci has become a blood prison of Shura!

Just after midnight, more than 100 assassins with their heads and faces suddenly broke into the Zhao Mansion, they were armed with short crossbows that could be fired continuously, and they were simply unstoppable within twenty steps.

However, in the main courtyard of the White Mansion, the Assassins were stubbornly resisted.

Especially the eighteen generals under the command of Bai Xuan, not only strong in martial arts, but also excellent in archery, they took more than 50 family members to guard on all sides, and fought back with hard bows again and again, the assassins suffered many casualties, but they never broke through the gate of the main courtyard! Seeing that the assault was not working, the Assassins quickly changed their tactics and began setting fires.

More than a quarter of an hour later, the main courtyard of the White Mansion began to catch fire.

Half an hour later, when the forbidden army of Zhao State arrived, the entire Baifu had fallen into a sea of fire, and in the entire Baifu, they did not find a single living thing, not even a living mouse!

Zhang Ao was woken up from his sleep and hurriedly came to the imperial study, only to see that Guan Gao, Zhao Wu and Zhang Jing were already waiting.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ao hurriedly walked into the chief and said repeatedly, "Good and decent, why was the White Mansion attacked?" When did there be such an arrogant assassin in Handan City? ”

Zhao Wu arched his hand and said, "King, this must have been done by the people of Ebony Cliff." ”

Guan Gao's eyes showed anger, but Zhang Jing's eyes flickered, both of them suspected that Zhao Wu secretly moved his hand, but they had no direct evidence, if they said it at this time, if they angered Zhao Wu, it was not a joke, because after Bai Xuan's death, there was no more important general in Zhao Guojun who could compete with Zhao Wu.

"Ebony Bluff?" Zhang Ao said angrily, "What do they want to do?!" ”

"It must have been the news of yesterday's court meeting." Zhao Wu said, "The people of Ebony Cliff knew the news that Bai Xuanli advised the king to abandon the alliance with the Chu State, so they attracted their revenge!" ”

"It just doesn't make sense!" Zhang Ao said angrily, "This is Handan, not Ziling!" ”

"What the king said is very true." Zhao Wu said, "The people of Ebony Cliff are indeed too arrogant, their existence has seriously threatened the safety of my Great Zhao Junchen, Lao Chen proposed, this will send troops to block the whole city, search with all their might, this time no matter what, the people of Ebony Cliff must be uprooted!" ”

Seeing Zhao Wuyan's conflagrating appearance, Guan Gao and Zhang Jing couldn't help but be a little suspicious, what is going on? Didn't Zhao Wu secretly collude with the people of Ebony Cliff a long time ago? Is he just making a show like this, or does he really want to eat and wipe clean and then turn his face and deny it?

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to the general!" After Zhang Ao said that, he took out the talisman from the brocade box on the desk and handed it to Zhao Wu.

The military system of Zhao followed the system of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and still adopted the system of regular soldiers, military soldiers, and changing soldiers, the so-called regular soldiers were the troops stationed in Handan, that is, the standing army, the soldiers were border guards, most of them were prisoners, and the soldiers were temporarily requisitioned from the people when there was a war, and what Zhang Ao handed over to Zhao Wu was the military talisman of the Standing Army of Handan.

As soon as Zhao Wu walked into the study, Qingpi, who had been waiting in the room for a long time, quickly knelt down and sat up, and asked, "General, have you got the talisman?" ”

"It's here." Zhao Wu smiled and took out the talisman and said, "Qinggong, you see? ”

"Great." Qingpi was overjoyed, and said urgently, "General, let's send troops." ”

"Send troops?" Zhao Wu snorted lightly and said with a smile, "What kind of soldiers?" Where to send troops? ”

"Uh......" Qingpi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said in amazement, "Naturally, send troops to Jingcheng and ambush Bai Mo!" ”

"Oh, General Ben almost forgot to get down to business." Zhao Wu slapped his forehead and suddenly shouted, "Where is Zhao Zhong?" ..., Zhao Zhong entered in response and said, "What does the lord command?" ”

Zhao Wu stretched out his hand and pointed at the green skin, and said sharply: "Take it!" ”

"Whoa!" Zhao Zhong responded suddenly, and then drew his sword and rushed towards Qingpi.

When he came back to his senses, Zhao Zhong's cold sword had already reached the side of his neck, and Qingpi said in disbelief: "General, what are you doing?" Don't you want to be the king of Changshan anymore? Don't want to restore the glory of the Zhao family? ”

"King Changshan?" Zhao Wu said abruptly, "General Ben wants to be the king of Zhao!" ”

Qingpi said: "As long as you can sincerely cooperate with my Da Chu, it is not impossible to replace King Zhao." ”

"No need!" Zhao Wuyi waved his hand and said coldly, "It's not just that you Chu State can help General Ben ascend to the throne of King Zhao, not to mention that your Chu State is so strong, if General Ben really cooperates with you, can he become the King of Changshan in the end, it is still unknown, do you really treat General Ben as a three-year-old child?" ”

"Zhao Wu!" Qingpi said angrily, "If you dare to be treacherous, then wait to meet the wrath of the Great Chu Kingdom!" ”

"Are you threatening General Ben?" Zhao Wu said coldly, "Let me tell you the truth, Zhao Guo is about to respond to Prime Minister Bai Mo's proposal and swear an alliance with Han, Qi, and Han Lianheng to join forces to resist Chu." ”

Hearing this, Qingpi said awe-inspiringly: "It turns out that you have long colluded with Bai Mo?" ”

Zhao Wu sneered: "Hehe, how could General Ben hang a tree from a tree?" Since the conditions offered by Prime Minister Bai Mo were more tempting, and it was more in the interests of Zhao to form an alliance with Han and Qi, why didn't General Ben cooperate with him? But I still have to thank Qinggong, if it weren't for you, General Ben really wouldn't have been able to kill Bai Xuan. ”

"Villain!" Qingpi was furious, "You treacherous villain. ”

As soon as Zhao Wu waved his hand, Zhao Zhong did not hesitate to slash Qingpi's neck with a sword, blood splattered, and Qingpi's thin body fell straight forward in front of him.

In the Huguan Canyon, Zhou Guanfu laughed and said: "It turns out that the prime minister has already calculated everything. ”

Bai Mo squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully: "However, Zhao Wu's ambition is too big, and his ability is mediocre, so he is really not an ideal partner to work with." ”

Zhou Guanfu was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What does the prime minister mean by this?" ”

Bai Mo smiled and waved his hand, and said, "You will know when you arrive in Handan." ”

In the Ziling Chu Palace, the great court meeting to reward the meritorious heroes officially kicked off.

Whether it is Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhou Yin, Zhong Liwu, Yu Ziqi and other veterans of the two dynasties, or Gao Chu, Pang Yu and Meng Yan such meritorious generals, all of them are beaming and excited, this is also human nature, they carry their heads to fight the world with Xiang Zhuang, what is the picture, isn't it just a prince and a prince to seal his wife and son?

However, before asking for a seal for yourself, you have to put on a posturing.

Ling Yin Xiang was the first to come out and played: "King, please ask Feng Gongzi to mistake for the King of Wei!" ”

Taiwei Xiang Tuo was the second to come out and played: "The king, the minister implores the king to restore the old Wei!" ”

Heng Chu, Ji Bu, Zhou Yin, Yu Ziqi and other veterans also came out one after another: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

Seeing that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty expressed their support for the restoration of the late Wei and wanted to establish themselves as the king of Wei, the young man standing at the bottom right of Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but flush his face, just a few days ago, he was just a small man on the side of the Wujiang River who relied on stealing chickens and touching dogs to survive, but in the blink of an eye, he was about to become the king of Wei, this is not a fucking dream, right?

Wei Yue, who was sitting on the left side of Xiang Zhuang (the right was respected in the pre-Qin period), was greatly frightened.

Although Wei Yue is the king of Chu, but today is the first time she has participated in the dynasty, Wei Yue is quite suspicious of Wei Cuo, a nephew who came out of thin air, and she does not approve of Wei Cuo as the king of Wei, even if he is really Wei Bao's grandson, if he has to divide the king of Wei, Wei Yue is more concerned about his second son - Xiang Quan. ..., a faint smile bloomed at the corner of Xiang Zhuang's mouth, and he turned back to ask Wei Yue: "Queen, what is your opinion?" ”

Wei Yue wanted to object, but as soon as she saw Xiang Zhuang's demeanor, she knew everything, and said helplessly at the moment: "But it is up to the king to make the decision, and the concubines are not allowed." ”

Xiang Zhuang raised his hand slightly, and the noise in the hall stopped abruptly.

"Since all of you Aiqing are speaking out in unison, it is not easy for the widow to object." Xiang Zhuang's gaze swept over Wei Cuo's excited face, and said, "Okay, then the five counties of Yingchuan, Dang, Chen, Dong, and Nanyang will be used to restore the Wei State, and Gongzi will inherit the throne by Gongzi Cuo, and then the widow will propose to Gao Chu as the general of Wei and Baili Xian as the Wei Xiang, what does the King of Wei think?" ”

Xiang Zhuang's last sentence was asking Wei Wrong, Wei Wrong didn't react at once, and suddenly woke up under the reminder of the minister next to him, and quickly bowed to Xiang Zhuang and replied: "Villain, uh no, Xiao Wang is all up to King Chu." ”

"Okay, that's it." Xiang Zhuang smiled slightly, and said, "Come on, add a seat to King Wei." ”

A palace attendant had already brought up a low couch and placed it on the lower right side of Xiang Zhuang's couch, and Wei Cuo, who had just been divided into Wei kings by Xiang Zhuang, couldn't wait to sit cross-legged on it.

Xiang Zhuang stretched out his hand again to suppress the noise in the court, and said, "Okay, now we will discuss the reward of the princes Aiqing." After saying that, Xiang Zhuang rushed to Xiang and said, "Ling Yin, please make meritorious contributions." ”

Xiang He turned around and beckoned, there were already more than a dozen small officials holding dozens of stacks of thin books and hurried up to the main hall, but these thin books densely recorded the exploits of Gao Chu, Pang Yu, Meng Yan and other civil and military generals, according to Xiang Zhuang's decree to reward Shinong industry and commerce, in the Shinong industry and commerce to make achievements, it is also equivalent to military exploits can be knighted.

Then the two loud officials began to take turns singing, nothing more than beheading dozens of levels, seizing a few golden drums and flags, excavating a number of scholars, etc., etc., and then ordered the Yin Mansion to give suggestions, the ministers reconsidered, Xiang Zhuang finally made a decision, set the title, and of course it would not be an ordinary meritorious service to be qualified for the Golden Palace, at least it was also the Marquis of Guandong (the Marquis of Guannei).

Xiang Zhuang sealed more than 100 Kwantung marquis in one go, and there were only about 20 civil and military ministers left in the court.

Xiang Zhuang raised his hand for the third time to suppress the noise in the court, and said: "The remaining twenty-six Aiqing are either outstanding in battle, or have high achievements in hard work, and the non-liehous are not enough to show their merits, and even the liehous are still insufficient. ”
