Changan

May has always been clear, and this day is no exception.

The red sun hung high in the sky, the blue sky did not have any clouds, and occasionally a breeze blew, bringing the smell of grass.

Although Guanzhong is now a poor land due to soil erosion, Chang'an has always been a big city, the economy in the city is quite acceptable, most of the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are constant pedestrians on the street.

People who know the situation in Chang'an know that this scene, if the trade route is cut off and there is no supply, it will not be long before it will gradually decline.

Close to the inner city of the Van high gate of the street where the big families gathered, the buildings that look magnificent are just empty shelves that support the façade, the big family is really better than the monkey, the foundation of the family, is never put in one place, if the Guanzhong is still stable, but if there is really a case, then within half a month, the entire Chang'an business bank will go ten.

However, King Qin has been sitting in Chang'an, and the means are good, which has calmed the hearts of some people.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way......".

In the afternoon, when there were fewer pedestrians on the streets, another group of cavalry in black armor patrolled by, each with a spear, sharp and cold, and the faces of these black-armored cavalry were also tense, and they looked around expressionlessly.

Seeing this, the people on the street hurriedly separated and retreated to the side, seeing this group of cavalry passing by, with envy and fear on their faces.

"The Black Armor Cavalry is truly mighty!"

"No, I heard that these black-armored cavalry soldiers were selected one in a hundred, and they are all the king's personal soldiers!"

"But it's strange to say, in the past, the black-armored cavalry patrolled once a day, and most of the time it was the city guards patrolling the streets, why did the black-armored cavalry appear so frequently this month?"

"Why don't you always boast that you have a way, and you haven't even heard of the imminent start of war?"

"How can this happen?"

At the mention of the war, the people who had the heart to look at the excitement showed a look of panic on their faces.

What people want to be displaced by the resumption of war?

Even if it does not endanger one's own safety, this price rise will bring huge losses and burdens to the people.

But what can this people do but sigh when they hear it.9

The black-armored cavalry that brought up this topic had already arrived at the outskirts of the inner city and were patrolling the streets.

Suddenly, I saw a rider coming from a distance, looking at the tracks, some different from ordinary people.

The black-armored cavalry led by him immediately shouted coldly: "Stop!"

The man on horseback knew the power of the black-armored cavalry, so he hurriedly reined in his horse and stopped.

"I'm a spy guard, I have something important to report to the king, this is my waist card!" he said, throwing a waist card over.

The leader of the black armor army caught it with one hand, looked through it in his hand, and saw that it was not a fraud, so he threw the thing back again.

"Let's go over. ”

"Thank you. He bowed his hand, and then rode away.

"Boss, the spy guards of this mortal king are in and out frequently, and there is a big deal depending on the situation. A black-armored soldier watched the man go away and whispered.

The officer of the Black Armor Army at the head glanced at him and said, "This matter is not something you and I can criticize, continue to patrol!"

"No!"

Without looking at the figure heading towards the inner city, the leader of the Black Armor Army continued to patrol around the city with his subordinates.

In the eyes of outsiders, these black-armored troops are the pro-army of King Qin, but in fact, this pro-army is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

They are the outermost layer of the pro-army, and the spy guards of the Heavenly King who passed just now are not more trusted than them, but they are more in contact with it.

The Black Armor Army is just patrolling the city, and the spy guards can bring urgent news to the King of Qin at any time, and even ask for the king directly in a hurry, in order not to cause trouble for themselves, when they encounter such a person, they don't pay much attention to it, and let them go according to the system.

At the same time, the guard who was heading towards the gate of the inner city finally entered the inner city after encountering the Vandau card post again.

At this time, King Guo Wentong, the king of Qin, had just finished dealing with a batch of affairs, his body was a little tired, he came to the side hall, lying on the soft collapse, and was gently beaten by the legs and shoulders of the palace people.

There are also palace people who carefully record the fruits, green onions, white jade, hands, and put the fruits into Guo Wentong's mouth one by one. The palace was burning with relaxing incense, and it was very quiet, and Guo Wentong was even a little drowsy.

At that moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, and an attendant walked in from outside.

"The husband is asleep, and the slave and maid have something important to do. "The waiter who came in had a round face, white and clean, with crooked eyebrows and eyes, and when he looked at the past, he couldn't help but feel comfortable, and the whole person was also a sense of harmony, wearing an inner waiter's clothes, and his voice was low, as if he was afraid of disturbing the king, and he didn't dare to make the slightest mistake.

"Are you here? What do you have to report?" Guo Wentong slowly opened his eyes, looked at the servant in front of him, and asked lightly.

Seeing Guo Wentong asking, the chamberlain hurriedly replied: "King, the spy Wei Wang and just asked to see him, let the slave and maid come in and tell ......."

"Oh, Wang He is here, help Gu up. Guo Wentong said this sentence to the left and right.

The chamberlain also hurriedly stepped forward, carefully helped Guo Wentong up with the palace people, put on the shoes and socks for the other party, and then stood aside.

"Let the king come in. Standing up and moving on the ground, Guo Wentong felt that most of the tiredness in his body had finally dissipated, and his body was much more comfortable, so he walked to the chair next to him while talking.

The waiter answered the promise and went out to summon someone.

Guo Wenxiang leaned back in the chair, and instructed the palace people to bring him a cup of fragrant tea.

The palace people had already prepared, and after a while, they brought the fragrant tea.

Sitting on a high seat, holding a delicate cup in his hand, Guo Wentong took a sip. At the same time, thinking about what Wang He would enter the palace for this time.

At the beginning, he sent out Wang He and other mortals to assist the spy guards who obtained information, not people who did not trust the spy guards, but in this palace, no one could let them go at will if they wanted to, and let the guards of all henchmen outside, and it was convenient to enter and exit in case of any emergency.

However, usually, the information received on the day is sorted out and handed over to the agency in charge of the matter, which is then delivered by the officials

In case of urgent information, the personal guards sent by King Qin will personally send the information to the palace.

Wang He's entry into the palace this time must be something important.

Just as he was thinking, the sound of footsteps came again.

The chamberlain and the king walked in from the outside, and as soon as they entered, the chamberlain retreated into the distance.

Wang He walked in front of Guo Wentong and stopped at a distance

"The minister and the king, I have seen the husband king. "Wang He looks very ordinary, he is not bad in terms of etiquette, and his figure is also very tall and slender, at first glance, he is a battle-hardened person, with a cold temperament on his body, he speaks, his speech is clear, he bows to the ground with quick movements, and bows respectfully upward.

"Get up and talk back. Guo Wentong looked at him for a while and said lightly.

"Thank you. After Wang and Shane, they stood up very quickly.

Guo Wentong looked at him, then looked left and right, and with a wave of his hand, except for one chamberlain, the other palace people retreated, and then sat there and asked lightly: "You entered the palace this time, but what news did you come?"

"Back to the Heavenly King, exactly!" Wang He handed over the information he had just received from Liangzhou.

The waiter took it, inspected it, and handed it over to Guo Wentong.

After expanding and reading the above content, Guo Wentong's face changed, either cloudy or sunny.

News came from Liangzhou that the Hu people's attack had subsided and they had retreated to the two cities they had occupied.

Looking at the information in his hand again, Guo Wentong thought silently in his heart.

He didn't say a word above, and the people below didn't dare to say anything, so the side hall was quiet for a while, and a needle could be heard.

When it came to Guo Wentong's position, it was clear what Hu Ren's intention was.

"It turns out that the Hu people can't pull out, and it doesn't have a decisive effect!"

The Hu people were able to annex the country, but they were not stable, and last year there were many battles, and the soldiers and horses were very tired, and they were separated by the two states of Yiqing, and did not move south.

Therefore, now that the strategy of Liangzhou has been suspended, it is nothing more than hoping that he will insert a knife in Luoyang.

Understanding this intention, Guo Wentong thought about the impact on himself.

On the good side, he can take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and draw his troops to look at Luoyang.

At worst, you are taking a chestnut from the fire, and if you are not careful, you will lose a lot of money.

There is a world of difference between the two, and Guo Wentong must consider it carefully.

It's just that Chang'an, where he is located, is not the ideal capital.

Chang'an is located in the Guanzhong Plain, in the south of the Wei River, north of the Qinling Mountains, surrounded by mountains, in the war, it has a great advantage, but the population of this capital is large, food and materials, transported by trade routes, just relying on self-sufficiency is not enough for Witt, and Chang'an is located in the Guanzhong territory, and because of soil erosion and poor land, there are not many people who can be raised, in this case, how can Guo Wentong not think?

It was he who wanted to stay here and make a natural line of defense for Wang Hongyi's southern country, and he also wanted Wang Hongyi and Hu Ren to let him go! Once these two people split the victory, the last side would not stop fighting, and they would definitely swallow up the forces he had to level the world!

Guo Wentong is a male shepherd, and he refuses to sit still, so he can only wait for the opportunity to move!

Maybe...... , this Hu Ren's move is an opportunity for himself?

Thinking of this, Guo Wentong muttered: "Liangzhou continues to send people to keep an eye on it, as for Luoyang ......."

A hint of longing flashed in his eyes, if he got Luoyang, such an embarrassing situation today would be alleviated.

Thinking of his actions in the past few years, all of them were in Wang Hongyi's calculations, and there was a fire in Guo Wentong's heart, slowly burning.

For a moment, he made up his mind.

The big husband can't enjoy the nine tripods, so he will cook the five tripods!

At this critical time, we must not hesitate, we can only fight to the death!
