Zhuge Liang and the others did their best to do what Zhao Changqing wanted.

For a time, the state apparatus was running frantically, and all departments worked closely together, the purpose of which was to counter the countries and work together to tide over this difficulty.

In fact, people with lofty ideals know that a trade blockade is no less than an earth-shattering war, and the difference between them is nothing more than the presence or absence of gunsmoke.

But no matter what, in the end, it is the common people who suffer.

For this blockade of the countries united to Wei this time, Zhao Changqing had already issued a decree to do everything possible to protect the survival of the common people, and it was imperative not to let prices rise and the people complained.

If it was in the past, Zhao Changqing didn't care about the life and death of the people at all, but after being the emperor for so many years, he found that in fact, the loveliest were often the ordinary people who were rooted at the bottom.

Therefore, he is willing to do some practical things that are beneficial to the people.

Although this will affect his plan to earn mediocre points, he still does not hesitate to do so.

In the Tang Kingdom, there was a general named Zhou Heng.

This person is a civilian, originally because of the war in the Jin Kingdom, exiled to the Tang State to become a bandit, and later due to the recruitment of the imperial court, after many years of war, he became the current general.

In the battle of Tang and Wei, he once stabbed more than 40 heads of the Wei army, and later killed many scouts of the Wei army, and was indirectly trusted by the Tang army, so he was given the position of general.

But they didn't know that such a general who killed the Wei people like a dog was actually a Wei person.

It is also the 'shadow' that belongs to Jinyiwei, that is, dark chess.

Those of them who do dark chess do not have anything abnormal with others on weekdays, they should kill the enemy, they should make meritorious contributions, and only when they are used, they will appear.

And these dark chess pieces can basically only be used once.

Because after activating it once, they are likely to be noticed.

On this day, Zhou Heng received an order from the Great Wei Emperor and knew that they were going to use their own secret chess.

So when the Tang State gathered its troops to go to the border pass, Zhou Heng took the initiative to ask for help, wanting to make a contribution, and the Tang general agreed, so he let him take his army to the border with the army.

When he arrived at the border, Zhou Heng practiced his soldiers day and night, which made General Tang very praised, but at the same time, he was a little puzzled, now is not wartime, why do you have to make the soldiers work so hard?

So I came to him for questioning.

Zhou Heng knew that his plan had succeeded.

His purpose in doing this is to get the attention of his superiors, and then find the right time to talk.

This is a good time for him.

When the general of the Tang Kingdom saw Zhou Heng, he asked him: "Now that there is no march to fight, why do you want the soldiers to work so hard? This commander received a reaction from your subordinates, saying that you are suspected of abusing the robe, how do you explain this?"

Zhou Heng had already had a countermeasure before, so he said righteously: "Back to the marshal, the last general will do this, that is, when the war is fought, let the soldiers have fewer casualties, otherwise they will grind their guns in battle, and I am afraid that it will be too late." As far as the last general knows, Duanguo, as a country that has just been established, their army can be described as the founding soldiers, and they have been through the war, and the last general must be responsible for his brothers and be ready for battle. ”

After hearing this answer, the Tang State Lord couldn't help but nodded, then smiled and said, "Who told you that we are here to prepare for war with Duanguo?"

Zhou Heng said: "In the end, when the border passes, I heard rumors in the army that the princes on the temple and His Majesty the Emperor want to use troops against the country, since the war is about to break out, it is reasonable to let the soldiers exercise their ability to march and fight now, otherwise on the battlefield, I don't know how many Pao Ze brothers will die in vain." ”

The lord of the Tang Kingdom said approvingly: "The idea is right, but now there will be no war for a while, so there is no need to rush to train the country for the soldiers, and when the time comes to fight, the commander will give you time to train the soldiers." ”

Zhou Heng was calm on the surface, and pretended to be puzzled: "Dare to ask the marshal, while we say that we want to fight Duanguo, what kind of trade alliance do we want to engage in with Duanguo, why is this?"

General Tang frowned and said, "Why are you interested in this?"

Zhou Heng hugged his fists and said: "Back to the marshal, the last general is just curious, after all, the last general has been fighting for so many years, and he has never seen such a strange scene." Marshal, I don't know when we will officially declare war on Duanguo?"

The Tang State General smiled and said: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, but Ben Shuai is very curious, why do you want war so much?"

Zhou Heng said respectfully: "It is precisely because he is still a small general that he needs to kill the enemy to make meritorious contributions." ”

The general of the Tang Kingdom laughed and said: "Don't worry, there is a chance for you to make contributions, it's just that it's not the other country, you go down first, remember, you don't need to train soldiers recently." ”

Zhou Heng sighed in his heart, hugged his fists and retreated.

Seeing that Zhou Heng was gone, the Tang State General summoned a personal guard and said, "Pay more attention to him." ”

The guards beside him nodded and asked, "Does the marshal think he's a little suspicious?"

The general of the Tang Kingdom shook his head and said: "It's not good, I always feel that he is a little strange today, as for what is strange, Ben Shuai has not found out yet." ”

The guard blurted out: "But because he talks a lot today?"

The lord of the Tang Kingdom suddenly realized and said, "Go ahead, his every move, the commander must know." ”

The guard clenched his fists and said, "No!"

Then he withdrew.

General Tang rubbed his eyes and muttered, "It's indeed a bit much." ”

In the next few days, Zhou Heng keenly realized that he was being watched.

So he remained silent, and since he didn't let himself train the soldiers, he simply trained himself.

In this way, under the close supervision of the people sent by the Tang general, Zhou Heng practiced martial arts every day.

It was only after a few days that the Tang State Lord dispelled the doubts in his heart and removed the people who were monitoring him.

Zhou Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Xiu Mu's camp, he passed the sentence of the Tang State general's 'just not the end country' to a secret agent arranged by the Wei State in the frontier.

However, he had no idea that he had fallen into a trap at this moment.

This time, the Tang State Lord has always been suspicious, and it is impossible for him to give up any suspicious person easily, so he has not removed the people who are monitoring him at all, this kind of practice is just to capture and indulge.

In this way, Zhou Heng was arrested, and the secret agent planted by Wei State, risking his life, finally passed on that sentence.

But as soon as he passed out of the border of the Tang State, he was arrested by the intelligence organization of the Tang State.

Because of the words of the chief general of the Tang Kingdom, there are no less than 100 people implicated.

Most of the casualties came from Wei intelligence officers.

Zhou Heng died tragically in prison.

He married a wife and had children in the Tang Kingdom.

His wife only knew that he was a general in the army, and she didn't know anything about the rest of her identity, and she didn't want to know.

His child, still waiting for him to return, wanted him to listen to him recite three hundred thousand, and let him praise him, 'My son is awesome!'

pity

Because of Zhao Changqing's decree, countless people and countless families behind him are willing to die without regrets.

This is the Emperor.

In a word, it's really a lot to change.

But there is no way.

If they don't listen to the emperor's decree and don't do so, it is very likely that more people in the Great Wei will face the tragedy of their wives being separated and their families ruined.

It's all about the country.

There's nothing to regret either.

Zhou Heng's death was just a small episode.

Before he died, the Tang lord asked him, "Why did you commit treason?"

Zhou Heng replied: "I am from Wei. ”

The lord of Tang asked unwillingly: "But you have married a wife and had children here, and Tang Guo treats you well, won't your conscience hurt if you do this?"

Zhou Heng said stiffly: "In this life, I married a woman from the Tang Kingdom to warm Lao Tzu's bed, and let the man with the household registration of the Tang Kingdom call Lao Tzu's father, and Lao Tzu is content." ”

It was these words that completely annoyed the chief general of the Tang State, so he was killed by a thousand knives.

He is at home, and he really respects his daughter-in-law and loves his children.

He knew he owed them everything.

Before disappearing consciousness, this secret chess piece planted by Wei Guo in Tang Guojun said the last sentence left in this world, "Daughter-in-law, if you have a next life, you will be a cow and a horse, child, but don't learn from your father." ”

If you want to be a country, why Xu Qing?

He wanted to say 'I'm sorry', but his life had come to an end.

His death provoked a flurry of reactions.

As many as more than 100 intelligence officers lurking in enemy countries paid the price of their lives in order to send this sentence out.

Later generations were surprised when they learned about this history.

All these stories actually revolve around a general.

However, this general, at the beginning, was just determined to take risks because of a sentence.

However, it was precisely because of the importance of this sentence that the ministers of Wei at that time did not hesitate, and finally decided to exhaust their family resources and gather all the baggage, money and food needed by the 600,000 army, and marched into Jindi, ready to resist the invasion of Tang at any time.

Zhou Heng's incident perfectly interprets what it means to move the whole body.

Zhou Heng's death is loyal to the country, unkind to the family, its credit is to the community, and its sin is due to a woman and a child.

In the end, because of him, the woman and the child were also persecuted by the Tang government.

But Zhou Heng may not have thought until his death that after his deeds were passed on to future generations, the world only knew that there was once such a secret agent, who was a secret agent planted by Wei in the Tang Kingdom, but he didn't know anything about his name.

He didn't even have a name left.

Isn't that a pathetic?

There are many unsung heroes like him in the Wei State, and they are all silently paying and selflessly dedicating themselves to the prosperity of the Wei State.

Small people also have big feelings.

They are all going forward and succeeding without fear of life and death for the sake of patriotism and national feelings in their hearts.
