For the pro-soldier soldiers in charge of packing, this was probably the most bizarre and easy errand they had ever done.

They came from common people, most of them were illiterate, and they did not understand the weight of this task that related the lives and fortunes of countless people in the court, and only knew how to follow the instructions of the prime minister wholeheartedly.

They muttered in their hearts, thinking that there would be a killing and looting on this trip, but they did not expect to wait outside the palace and wait, and finally only wait for a few empty palaces.

And the prime minister and the old men are actually sitting on the ground supervising their own work, which is an unprecedented experience.

The soldiers did not dare to discuss it in private, but they were really puzzled, and the boxes were filled and sealed one by one, and while they were taking a breath, they quietly watched the reactions of everyone outside the hall.

I saw General Li leaning beside the pillar at the entrance of the hall, with his head bowed, as if he was carefully studying the paving method of the bluestone bricks on the ground, and he seemed to think that he was not clean enough, and he didn't even want to take a more look at the hall.

Sensing the soldier's gaze on him, he straightened up and scolded, smiling and scolding,

"This errand is much more important than your neck, don't just look around, be careful about the things in your hands, don't miss a single thing.

Also, you put your hands and feet clean, this time is different from the past, if you do a good job, the prime minister will naturally be rewarded, don't always worry about what bits and pieces, because of small losses. ”

These two sentences sound like gag jokes, but the soldiers are carefully selected by him and brought out all year round, so they naturally understand the solemn warning.

It is not allowed to be omitted, nor is it allowed to steal casually, and these incomprehensible books are sealed intact, and there will be a heavy reward afterwards.

***

"Yes, you will have your own reward for your errands.

After a while, after the sealing of the box is completed, another team of people will go out day and night to send the box to the camp.

I don't care how many horses die on the road, I don't stop for a moment, I don't lose a single box, you discuss and see who can take this errand. ”

Prime Minister Wen Cheng, who was sitting upright, was content, and after saying these few words, he drank wine by himself, and kept persuading several high-ranking officials sitting next to him, and also commented on two sentences from time to time, which was very elegant.

It's a pity that his Yaxing is a bit lofty and low today, and the expressions of several listeners are uncertain, full of worries, and they have no intention of talking about it at all.

Seeing that the audience was extremely cold, Wen Ji didn't think it was angry, only stared at the progress of the soldiers with a smile, and looked at the palace gate in the distance from time to time, as if he was waiting for some news.

At the same time as the box was sealed, a soldier hurriedly ran in with a military newspaper in his hand, Wen Ji hurriedly took it, unfolded it and quickly browsed it, and the faint worry that had always lingered between his brows finally completely dissipated.

He put down the silk silk with dense writing, looked around and around, and spoke excitedly,

"General Zhao She, who led his troops yesterday to fight with the Western Route Army of the imperial court, surrounded Zang Wei in Dai County."

"Ah, so Akira lost his tail—"

The officers were still suspicious, the war was changing rapidly, why did Wen Zhen, who had always been cautious and self-contained, act so unusually radically and leave no way for himself to retreat?

It was only at this time that they suddenly realized that from beginning to end, this article, one martial art, one general and one phase were all Liu Ji's shadows.

"Your Majesty today, dare to use strange strategies, recruit Yingyi, and eventually become a medalist."

Everyone knew that this time the master had changed, and there was a sigh of indignation.

"Come on, don't be patronizing,"

Wen Ji beckoned, and a young knife and pen officer immediately ran not far away, standing respectfully at the side,

"Let's record the cleaning of the palace today and send it to Your Majesty."

***

The war in Daidi went more smoothly than expected.

At first, Zang Di was mistaken by the false information deliberately released by the Han army, and he was bent on going west, and easily attacked Daijun, intending to engage the Western Route Army led by Liu Ji head-on.

Who knows, the war with the Han army in Daijun was imminent, and Zhao Shi, who was in charge of the palace, suddenly turned his back and counterattacked, completely cutting off the passage between the Yan army and his own country, and cutting off the back road of the Yan army.

Zang Di's army was completely trapped in Daidi, and he heard that Jicheng, the national capital in the rear, had been lost, and the future supply of military grain and grass would be powerless.

He couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and he couldn't wait to quickly fight the Western Route Army, and then go back to fight the two hateful traitors Wen Ji and Zhao She.

Zang Di's temperament was already impatient, and he was angry and even more rash to fight, he thought that since the Western Route Army was personally led by the emperor, it must have been arranged by Liu Ji himself to command the battle.

After destroying Qin and Chu for so many years, what is Liu Ji's pre-battle command ability, Zang Di also knows a little bit in his heart, thinking that he still has a chance of winning.

Who knows, when the golden drums of the two armies sounded in unison and the flesh and blood were fighting, he realized that the emperor himself was not in the Western Route Army at all, and the generals who came to take his life this time were the brave and invincible Guan Ying and Fan Xu, as well as the neighboring Yanmen County guard general Chen Xuan.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the heroes of the essay, the essay Tao strategy, should be Zhang Liang and Xiao He, and when it comes to the use of military strategy, except for Han Xin, a handsome talent, the others are generals, and the level is basically the same.

Therefore, Liu Ji's army fought more and less, attacked the weak with the strong, used the king of the Tao to fight against the rebellious one-man thief, and used the vast Han Empire behind him to fight against the Yan State in a small corner, and the victory or loss of this decisive battle was self-evident.

At the same time as the good news on the Western Front was spreading, the Eastern Route Army, which started from Luoyang and quickly went north, and went straight into the hinterland of Yan State, also approached Jicheng.

***

As Lu Pheasant in Luoyang City expected, Liu Ji, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, was steadily in the Eastern Route Army from beginning to end, and he was accompanied by the servant Xiahou Ying, the general Zhou Bo, the lieutenant Chen Ping, and the lieutenant Lu Juan.

It can be said that the core of the Han Dynasty is in the Eastern Route Army, and the reason why the Eastern Route Army dares to borrow money and collect grain from Zhao State without scruples depends on Zhang Cang's early investigation.

In Zhang Cang's view, the old courtiers of Zhao State all have antipathy and will change sooner or later, and Zhang Ao's own background, greedy and cowardly, can still be controlled.

Wang Shi crossed, and the people of Zhao did not want to be affected by the war again, so they naturally ate pot pulp and greeted each other.

Although Liu Ji's army marched day and night at full speed, it was still under the strict military law of the emperor, and the chickens and dogs were not shocked, and they did not commit any crimes against the people's families.

This is not so much a conquest, but rather a grand march to demonstrate the prestige and benevolence of the country.

The batch of boxes sent from Jicheng was sent to the Han army camp within a few days, and Liu Ji smiled and was overjoyed.

He circled around a dozen boxes a few times, squinted his eyes and glanced at the intact fire paint seal, then unfolded the book that arrived with the box, read it roughly, handed it to Chen Ping, and praised it silently,

"I didn't expect it, Wen Zhicai, as soon as he goes!"

His eyes flashed with excitement, and he asked Chen Ping with a smile,

"You know, these things are most valuable when they are burned.

Where is the best place for us to do this?

You have to call all the courtiers of Yan Kingdom to watch the ceremony, right? ”
