Chapter 197: When the two countries clash, either you die or I live

The eastern sky gradually turned white, the golden morning light pushed the edge of the green and dark eyes, and the bustling pedestrians had started their day's life in this golden light.

Two fast horses rushed out of Yanjing with the order of King Xia, rushed to Fenzhou, and handed the letter to Pei Min, the commander of the embroidery department stationed there. And the other was to go to Wangnan County of Wei on the south bank of the Hunhe River and hand it to Tiangong Zhang Jiao.

After that, Su Chen also practiced martial arts slowly in the courtyard as usual, and then, put on the royal clothes and went to the palace to incense the ancestors and ancestors in the temple, accompanied a group of emperors to chat, and specially asked Zhu Di about the formation of the East Factory and how to control the eunuchs.

Of course, he also asked about the background of the Three Treasures eunuch.

However, when leaving, the Taoist priest Li Tiangang stopped Su Chen and whispered outside to prevent the eunuchs from being autocratic and not to let the eunuchs be as powerful as Tang Shi.

In fact, there is no need for Daoist Li to advise, Su Chen is wary of this, after all, the people of later generations have watched a lot of films and television on the previous dynasties and dynasties, and the eunuchs' dictatorship, among which there are many modern people who have crossed over to the eunuchs and killed the Quartet.

In the next few days, Su Chen pretended to be fine, went to the court, scattered the court, and went to the Empress Dowager Jiang in Taining Palace to sit down, and when he was in a good mood, he sat until after noon before coming out, as for why it took so long, only Dian Wei knew it.

In the afternoon, Su Chen took Dian Wei to the craftsman's workshop to supervise the combination of cold iron and fine iron forged weapons, and even Dong Taishi's serrated knife was rebuilt.

Under the striking of dozens of blacksmiths for several days, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, Fang Tian's Painting Halberd, the Gentian Bright Silver Spear, and the Tiger Head Zhan Golden Spear ...... A batch of brand-new, extremely strong and sharp weapons were escorted by Su Chen to the three military camps in Yunzhou, Fenzhou, and Zhangzhou to be delivered to the generals.

The shaping of Li Xuanba has never stopped, so that Dian Wei, Le Jin and others will continue to fight with him, in order to exercise his body, three times in the morning, noon and evening, let the soldiers first use wooden sticks, and then use copper sticks to hit his body continuously, until the whole body is red.

In terms of the military utensils, the crossbow has been put into the hands of the Xiliang army, and a thousand Mo knives have also begun to be installed, and a battalion has been specialized into a Mo knife battalion, and the training heard from Tang Taizong will be taught to Li Dao by Su Chen.

As for the sea, Su Chen classified it as a secret and did not allow any civil and military interference in the DPRK and China to prevent the matter from leaking.

At this time, in the south, Zhao Chuanting, the emperor of Wei, also felt the killing intent of the Xia King from the Yan State in the north, which was different from his soft knife strategy, perhaps it was simply unpretentious.

In the whole of Luyang, within seven days, fifteen officials were killed, some were robbed and killed by a group of people on the way home from the Qinglou, some were eaten at home, and they were poisoned while eating, and the generals guarding the city tower were suddenly stabbed to death by the soldiers on duty, and the latter was also dismembered by the soldiers who pounced.

Compared with the undercurrent surging in Yanjing, the officials of all sizes in Luyang have become endangered, and for a while, the people in the rivers and lakes who appeared in the city have become the targets of the government's arrest.

What made Emperor Wei even more troubled was that there was news from Linzhou in the east recently, and a sect had emerged, constantly preaching in Linzhou, and the number of believers was huge.

For Emperor Wei, who had known about the Xia King, he naturally knew that this was the Taiping Dao that flowed from the Yan Kingdom, and in the battle outside Changchuan County, Taiping Dao stood on the side of the Xia King and fought with the imperial court.

This appearance, had to make the Wei court vigilant, when even let the local state and county send troops to suppress, wantonly search for Taiping Daoists, encountered the other party's resistance, then carried out a massacre, after killing thousands of people in a row, the search for the state and county soldiers and horses began to be attacked by Taiping Taoists, the largest of them, Taiping Daoren General Zhang Liang led the sect to attack the camp at night, killing more than 500 soldiers, and the colonel killed more than 10 people.

For a time, the entire Linzhou and Nanwang County, which is close to the Hunhe River, became chaotic, and there were many Yellow Turban disciples attacking the government, and there were even bandits and robbers wrapped in Yellow Turbans and pretended to be believers.

The situation gradually became unmanageable.

For this reason, many officials who were unfavorable in the suppression of states and counties were dismissed by the angry emperor, and even worse, their homes were beheaded.

When the chaos in Wei gradually rose, the time was in late April, and finally Su Chen, who had been awarded meritorious points for creating chaos in Wei, walked into the temple, and soon, when he came out again, there was a eunuch wearing a chimney hat with jade beads on the top, wearing a crimson drag, embroidering flying fish, with white temples and eyebrows, and no beard on his face, but his eyes were sharp, and he followed Su Chen to constantly look at the palace buildings around.

After a while, as if he was at home at ease, the eunuchs in the palace he met on the way had more majesty on his faces, which made those eunuchs bow down unconsciously.

"Gonggong Zheng, walk around, are you familiar with it now?" Su Chen strode forward.

The old eunuch who followed behind him bowed his head slightly, followed behind with small steps, and there was a lot of smile on his face, "King, just tell the slaves and maids." ”

After the Chengyun Palace, Su Chen got into the king's car and beckoned the famous Three Treasures eunuch to also get into the car and sit next to him.

"I want you to train the water master, and ...... The errand in charge of His Majesty's seal will be handed over to you together, and cooperate with Taishi Dong and Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng. ”

Dong ...... That Dong Zhuo, who leans towards the government and the opposition? And Zhuge Liang, who is a great ruler? This...... How did they get together...... King, is this the need for slaves and maids to balance the government? Rao is Zheng He, who can observe words and looks, and has a flexible mind, his expression was stunned for a moment.

"Not for the time being, the DPRK and China are basically lonely people, but I have been a little troubled recently, and I still need the help of Gonggong Zheng, are you familiar with the affairs of Dongchang?"

"Know a little bit, if you need slaves, you will plan for the king."

Su Chen smiled and didn't speak, and after that, he sent someone to the palace to inform Dong Zhuo, and selected some eunuchs with flexible minds and some martial arts to take out of the palace and hand them over to Zheng He.

Dong Zhuo was shocked, at the end of the Han Dynasty, he had experienced the dictatorship of eunuchs, and he also sent a lot of money out, and immediately went out of the palace and went straight to the Xia Palace, probably to persuade Su Chen.

When I saw Zheng He in the back and chatted with the other party, I found that this eunuch was very different from the eunuchs I saw on weekdays.

Soon after.

Outside the city, Guo Jia came with news that the leader of the caravan who sent the Wei assassins was caught by the master of the embroidery division there when he passed through Huaizhou.

Mid-April.

The Wei merchant named Xu Jin was brought into Yanjing, trembling, and thrown into the hall in front of him. Next, what will happen, in fact, he somewhat expected it in his heart, but the instinct of people to live made him not choose to commit suicide at the first time.

This time, he came north with the order of the imperial court, sent the woman in the car to the capital of Yanguo, and then relied on the many years of business here, with the gold and silver, porcelain, silk, and women given by the imperial court, let the officials who made good friends help to guide the introduction, and in the past two months, he visited many officials of Yanjing, and sent women or property to his liking.

He bribed in the name of hoping that Wei and Yan would be friendly and that Yan officials would help promote peace, so that they would not be taken down as a rebellion.

During this period, some officials accepted the gifts, and some people vigilantly blasted him out, but then they used various connections, visited diligently, and persuaded him bitterly, hoping that the tragedies of Chen Dujun and Pingshang and Guangjun would not be repeated, and finally moved many officials.

However, today, he knelt on the cold floor, his body trembling uncontrollably, and saw the Xia King, beside him, there were eunuchs with white beards and gentle faces, and burly giants.

Su Chen invited Zheng He to sit down, raised his hand and beckoned, Wu Zixun came over with pen, ink and paper, and put it in front of the Wei businessman named Xu Jin.

"Write it down."

The indifferent voice came from the mouth of the first Xia King, Xu Jin picked up the pen tremblingly, and wrote his name on the paper little by little, and the whole blank paper was full of writing.

Subsequently, Wu Zixun took out the white paper and handed it to Su Chen.

When he saw the names on them, he closed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "You can close the net." ”

April 28.

Suddenly, the order of the Xia Wangfu rode in the city, and the military camp outside the city began to mobilize, although the various officials who got the news did not know what to do with the Xia Wang, but they still ran quickly, and the official warehouse began to release grain, and bags were loaded and transported to the military camp outside the city.

At this time, there are also many pairs of eyes, secretly staring at the door of every official's house, observing the people who enter and exit, and then recording them and converging them into a huge amount of information to transmit upwards.

After that, Che Jin, the commander of the imperial city, appeared on the avenue of the Baiguan Mansion with his soldiers.

……

Xu Jin, a Wei merchant who had been imprisoned for several days, was soon brutally escorted out by soldiers, along with the woman named Qin Zhen, and the two were taken out of the city and thrown in front of Su Chen.

"Come, take the lonely ones to see something."

The tall Xia Dynasty smiled and beckoned, then turned over and got on their horses, and the two were escorted by the shield halberders to follow behind, surrounded by a forest of torches, illuminating the fields and roads of the night, and there were insects chirping in the grass one after another in the distance.

On the horseback in front of them, the armored Xia King didn't know if he was too bored, and said softly: "Actually, no matter whether your emperor puts his eyes on it or not, Lone's soldiers and horses will go south, but Lone doesn't like thorns in his flesh and sand in his eyes." ”

As he spoke, the advancing war horse slowly stopped, Su Chen turned over and dismounted, walked to a eunuch who came over, and then beckoned to Xu Jin and Qin Zhen.

"Come here, don't you want to know the movements of Lone's soldiers and horses? Don't you want those officials to dissuade the lonely king? Now Lone will show you directly, you must take a good look. ”

A man and a woman were pushed up by the soldiers, walking through the gentle slope ahead, and the two of them were greeted by a dazzling fire and a tall monument.

The scene that came into view, Qin Zhen and Xu Jin's faces were like ashes, and then they were knocked down by the armor and knelt down, and the tall Xia King stood forward, and the cavalry galloping in the distance threw torches and threw them into the two big dings.

Rumble!

Flames rose into the night sky, illuminating the surroundings.

It was a dense Xiliang standing below, and there was also a black figure kneeling on the ground wearing an official robe.

"Look...... This is the result of your efforts. ”

Su Chen hit his face in the evening breeze and said softly.
