Chapter 118: New Progress
After the sound of the horn, Yu Ban, the general of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, stood in the center of a total of eight formations, and bowed respectfully to the high platform where the emperor stood, and the flag-bearers on the four feet waved the red flags in their hands according to the arrangement, and then these eight formations changed the Bagua Array one by one in order from small to large.
The Bagua Array has been the most commonly used formation in the art of war since ancient times, and even if it is a person who is familiar with military books, it is difficult to break through it one by one, and there are a total of twelve ways to change.
It's a pity that there are many people who remember it, but there are very few who can learn and use it. If the original loyalty is still there, it is not impossible to be ranked among the top grades of the duke.
But fortunately, the most advantageous place of Daze over other small countries is that the land is vast and the people are prosperous, ensuring that the grain and grass are sufficient, and Daze has a steady stream of troops, so no matter that country wants to shout with Daze, it is the most unwise decision.
Therefore, today's gossip array drill can be regarded as an eye-opener for the envoys of the Wa Kingdom who came from afar.
The area of the Wa Kingdom is small, and most of the local people are short, and there are no extra troops and places to arrange such a domineering formation.
The emperor was also very familiar with the formation, and he was very happy to see that Yu Ban was commanding well, and then he noticed that there were stunned envoys sitting next to him, and he felt more and more proud in his heart.
When the formation had successfully changed the first chapter of the life gate, the emperor sat up straight, rubbing the folding fan that often accompanies him when traveling with one hand, and turned his head slightly to ask.
"Today's formation is the most well-known formation in my Daze, I don't know what a few people think?"
When the words landed, Yunosuke came back to his senses after realizing it, and Inoue River, who was sitting next to him, also had a solemn face.
"Returning to His Majesty the Emperor Daze, the foreign minister thinks it is quite good, worthy of Daze, it is such courage, even if these soldiers do not shout slogans, just listening to this footstep is enough to make the enemy frightened."
Saying that, the rest of the envoys behind Yunosuke had different faces, and they didn't know what was going on, so Yunosuke stood up on his own, and the rest of them had to follow him and kneel down at the emperor.
"I am deeply honored to see the face of heaven today, and I also feel that it is the wisest move for me to return to Daze, and I hope that Daze and our country can always be united in the same state."
As soon as these words came out, not only the people behind Yunosuke, but also Dequan and the empress beside the emperor were also surprised.
The Wa State did not officially start a war with Daze, but was just restless in a small fight, and using the word surrender was equivalent to the Wa State itself feeling that it had fallen behind in front of Daze.
You must know that there are many people among the envoys who are traveling with them, and they are not very willing to sign this agreement of submission.
After all, if the Wa Kingdom is an independent country, their lord can still be called His Majesty, and after submission, he can only be called a vassal king, and his identity has also fallen to a level. This made it difficult for them, who believed in the supremacy of imperial power more than Daze, to accept it.
"Envoys, get up first." On the surface, he nodded faintly in agreement, but in fact, his eyes had already swept over the other people in the mission.
He didn't directly state his meaning, Dequan figured out his plan, and came out for him. "Lord You's sincerity, I feel your sincerity to Your Majesty, and I will naturally consider this matter carefully with your lords."
"That's right, the sincerity of the envoys is in the eyes of His Majesty and the palace, as long as you are obedient, then you will be the same people of Daze, and Daze will definitely treat you equally."
Dequan said, and the queen came out at the right time to brush up on a wave of presence. Xu Ruzhu and Xu Rulie stood side by side, coldly watching everything that happened here.
"From this point of view, even if there was that little episode at the beginning, it did not affect the follow-up things, my father is in the prime of life, he is deaf and clear-sighted, and he will not be easily deceived by some people, and this matter should be a certainty."
"That's right, my father naturally knows that whoever has such wolf ambitions, but you will definitely be able to guarantee that you will be able to sit back and relax in the future."
Hearing this, Xu Rulie just sneered, and the queen was afraid that the sound of his quarrel with Xu Ruzhu would reach the emperor, and Concubine Xian turned her head and glanced at them lightly.
The two of them had to shut their mouths one after another and said no more, and then it seemed that someone was looking for Xu Ruzhu and sent a small servant to whisper a few words in Xu Ruzhu's ear, and he got off the high platform in advance.
On the other side, Xiao Huai'an stood at the staircase under the high platform, where he could look at the overall situation and take precautions, and the array below was in full swing, but Liang Xin suddenly ran over.
"Your Excellency."
Seeing this, Xiao Huai'an pulled him aside to speak, "What's the matter." ”
"Back to the adult, the matter about the wooden sleeper flow that the adult asked me to investigate last time is already eyebrows," Liang Xin said, taking out the information from the outside investigation from his arms, Xiao Huaian took it and looked at it, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
"The prince of the Wa Kingdom heard that people were solt, because he was not taken seriously, and now in the palace, he has never taken a step, but unfortunately he did not get his portrait. Then there is the wooden sleeper stream, who came to the capital two months ago. ”
"Mu Zhuliu just came to the capital two months ago, but where he has been before, his subordinates have also sent people to investigate, and I only know that there are indeed signs of him passing by in the nearest Yangcheng, and other places have not responded."
The more Liang Xin said below, he noticed that Xiao Huai'an's expression became more and more solemn. "In this way, then you also think that he should have nothing to do with Wenren Shushi."
"My subordinates don't dare to speculate, but judging from the information I have obtained so far, it may be so." Liang Xin has always been serious in his work, otherwise he would not have become Xiao Huai'an's most powerful assistant.
But the only thing he is bad about is that he is too serious, so that he is not doing anything in terms of association.
Xiao Huai'an digested all the information on the paper, and then crumpled it into a ball and burned it directly with the torch in his hand.
"The man who came to assassinate him last time was smart enough to know how to use a fake face, so in other words, even if we have a portrait in our hands, it can be interpreted as an illusion made with a mask."
"Then my lord, my subordinates, do you want to continue to send people to investigate the flow of wooden sleepers?" Liang Xin listened to his words, and unconsciously felt that he had worked so hard to collect information, which was a little futile.
"At present, there is no need for this, by the way, where is he today?" Xiao Huai'an said in a deep voice, just about to give up, when suddenly something came to mind and asked before Liang Xin left.
"Well, Mu Zhuliu found a medical hall in the city to settle down, maybe he wrote down the words of the Lord and Mrs. last time, do you still think there is anything suspicious about him?"
After Liang Xin finished answering, Xiao Huai'an pinched the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and gently rubbed it twice, and the words he said made him feel empowered.
"Two months ago, it was in prison, and it was the time when the people who heard about it escaped. The last time the assassin accidentally met the princess in the palace, he used the same self-title, do you think there would be such a coincidence in this world? ”
"This-" Liang Xin took a breath, and felt that this matter was becoming more and more wrong, and even thought about it carefully, and there was a feeling of extreme fear when he thought about it.
"If that's the case, then we're going to keep him out of our sight."
"No, on the contrary, all the people you sent to spy on him will be withdrawn, and if you don't let him down his guard, how can he take the initiative to show his feet?"
Xiao Huai'an shook his head, in a condescending position, just enough to see Xu Ruzhu walking away below, standing on the edge of the woods with Lin Feng and talking.
"Yes, my subordinates understand." Liang Xin clenched his fists, and then led the order to leave.
Finally, after the gossip array on the field is completely performed, it is time for lunch.
The men and women had their own tents, and the emperor and his envoys were in the same tent for conversations.
Su Jiao watched the performance for a morning, although she didn't understand the law of change in their gossip array, but she didn't know how to do it. Even more on such a large grassland, to make such a big formation, but as long as there are so many people who are lazy and can't run so far, they won't do it so well, and they are under the sun, she is tired for them.
So she managed to make it to lunch, and she had to eat well to make up for all the mental and mental effort she had spent in the morning.
Because I just came out to see the drill, the tent and the like don't have to be repaired too gorgeously, only the cloth was propped up with a bracket, and each seat had a curtain in the middle, separated from each other, so even if Su Jiao ate a little chic, no one would notice.
Today's noon menu,But from the palace specially invited from the imperial chef to make,Due to local reasons,Although there are not many styles,But just looking at it feels very exquisite.,I just don't know if it's delicious.。
Su Jiao pursed her mouth, the anticipation on her face couldn't be hidden, and when Mu Hibiscus finally brought the food box, she raised her chopsticks and moved happily twice, and saw Xiao Huai'an squeezing in at an inopportune time.
"What are you doing here, all the ladies here, and you are not afraid that people will complain about you from the queen."
"Others can't come, but I can, not to mention that you are my wife, I only talk to you, so what's the matter. It's too sunny outside, and I'm here to take refuge. ”
Hearing this, Su Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly, seeing Xiao Huai'an excusing herself with such a bright face and a blushing face, and sitting down to prepare to move chopsticks, she couldn't help but want to laugh for a while.
