In Wang Ju's opinion, after King Qin won this battle, he should celebrate with his ministers.
But when they arrived at Zhouli, they found that King Qin and his son were talking about Cicada's life.
And those civil and military officials also did what they were supposed to do.
Wang Ju thought of what his husband had said.
——At the beginning of every dynasty, monarchs and ministers must be determined to make progress and rarely indulge in pleasure.
This is it!
——This is a picture of vitality!
At that time, Wang Ju was still a young man, but the power of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was also declining. The gentleman said sadly: "The current Zhou Dynasty seems to be in its twilight years!"
At that time, the Southern Zhou Dynasty still had something to do. Even after the failure of the New Deal, it could still persevere if there were no big enemies threatening it from outside.
But the enemy is coming!
One is full of vitality, and the other is suspicious of each other.
At this moment, Wang Ju suddenly understood Han Bi's mentality when he wrote that testament.
In the face of a formidable enemy, the monarchs and ministers in the DPRK are not talking about joining hands to fight against the enemy, but are instead engaging in intrigues.
Even if Zhou Dynasty had millions of troops, it would be difficult for him to defeat King Qin.
What kind of Yingshui line of defense is no match for the internal chaos of the people.
That’s so!
Wang Ju put himself into Han Bi's mentality before the war, and a kind of desolate despair emerged spontaneously.
Prime Minister Han, I am wrong.
Your Majesty is wrong!
The ministers were wrong!
Wang Ju calmed down and said, "The foreign ministers are here on orders...for peace talks."
"Peace talks?"
The King of Qin smiled and said, "Gu's army will advance to the north bank of Yingshui in the next few days. The army is approaching the border and is about to approach the city. Why do you want to negotiate peace with Nian Xu?"
A Liang saw Wang Ju smile bitterly, and suddenly understood a truth... I am a knife and a soldier, and I am a fish and meat.
"Your Highness, the false emperor has separatized the land of Shu and is intensifying his troops. The noble families in Guanzhong are watching with ulterior motives. Why should Your Highness stay here for a long time?"
Wang Ju said sincerely: "I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, are willing to serve the Tang Dynasty as my brother."
"A country of brothers?"
"yes!"
King Qin said sarcastically: "Isn't Nian Xu much older than Gu?"
Nianxu is old enough to be his father.
Wang Ju smiled bitterly.
"It's hard for him." King Qin said, "Here comes someone."
"Your Highness!" Uda stepped forward.
"Get some food and wine for Wang Ju to entertain him."
"yes!"
Wang Ju was not in the mood to drink, "Your Highness, the peace talks..."
"Gu originally wanted to deal with Nian Xu, but when he and the ministers were rejoicing, Gu's army suddenly appeared. I thought there would be chaos in Bianjing City. But Gu Jue, there is no need!"
King Qin turned around and went in.
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
A Liang followed behind and looked back when he heard Wang Ju shouting pitifully.
"A Liang."
"Coming."
Ah Liang followed him in.
King Qin sat down and pointed to his side. A Liang came over and sat down.
"Do you think being a father means relying on the strong to bully the weak?"
"Yes!" A Liang said sincerely.
The King of Qin touched the top of his head and was very pleased with his son's honesty to him. "This world is a jungle. If both my father and Shi Zhongtang were to lose, the first thing Nian Xu would do would be to raise an army and go north. Do you understand?"
"Um!"
Ah Liang nodded, but a little reluctantly.
"My father naturally wants to proclaim himself emperor. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, my father has the responsibility to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty. The Southern Zhou Dynasty is a threat to the Tang Dynasty. If other methods can be used, my father will naturally not go to war. But...
Is there room for others to snore on the side of the couch?"
…
Chen Guan is recovering from his injuries.
The Northern Xinjiang Army has a special place to accommodate the wounded. As a person close to A Liang, Chen Guan was treated as one of his own and was with a group of injured patients from the Northern Xinjiang Army.
"The wound is not deep." The young doctor looked at the wound carefully and said, "Don't worry about it, be careful not to get it dirty, especially when urinating... Hey!"
The wound was on the thigh. The doctor turned his eyes and asked in surprise: "What happened to your penis?"
Chen Guan said awkwardly: "No more."
The doctor glanced at him and went out to ask the sergeant. Not long after, a middle-aged man came in.
“I’ve met Divine Doctor Chen!”
Seeing the man, the injured were very happy, as if they had seen a panacea.
The person who came was none other than Chen Huagu, the miracle doctor from Northern Xinjiang.
The young doctor pointed at Chen Guan and said, "Master, that's who he is."
Chen Huagu came over and looked at the wound carefully, "Bring me my wound medicine."
Chen Guan saw the envious eyes of those injured patients and couldn't help but look forward to it.
After changing the dressing, the wound felt slightly cool and very comfortable.
Then bandage.
"From now on, you will come here twice a day to change the dressing," Chen Huagu explained.
Chen Guan shed tears of gratitude, "I don't know how to thank the miracle doctor."
Chen Huagu said calmly: "If you weren't close to Da Langjun, how could I take action? Go ahead!"
It turns out that I got the benefit of the doubt!
Chen Guan limped out, and when he arrived at Zhou Erzhong, he happened to see A Liang squatting under a tree.
In the lobby, Han Ji was persuading King Qin, "Your Highness, Da Langjun is still young after all. This kind of law of the jungle is too strong."
"Gu doesn't want this to happen, but he is Gu's eldest son, and he is destined to bear the heaviest burden in the world in the future. Gu doesn't want him to be too simple."
King Qin said quietly: "This is his fate!"
Chen Guan walked over and heard A Liang whisper: "There is room for others to sleep on the side of the bed. Does it have to be an attack?"
Chen Guan was smart and knew what his master was thinking as soon as he heard it. He bowed and said, "Do you have mercy on the soldiers who died in the battle?"
A Liang nodded.
Chen Guan sighed: "If the Southern Zhou Dynasty is given a chance to breathe, they will strengthen their troops, recruit more armies, and dispatch more civilians... Then the people will not be able to survive. The people will rebel. And more armies will lead to
There were more casualties on both sides.”
"Dalangjun, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!"
A Liang looked at him and said, "That makes sense. But I'm thinking about how to bring peace to the world."
Chen Guan said: "I dare you to be brave. By the time Da Langjun arrives, I think His Highness will have conquered the world!"
Judging from King Qin's attitude, within a few years, the world will be unified again.
It can be said to be unprecedented.
Da Langjun should be relieved now!
Chen Guan smiled, not daring to show any pride.
Ah Liang clapped his hands and said, "Ah Ye said, the world is very big."
…
Wang Ju didn't drink, so he hurried back all the way out of Zhoushe.
After crossing Yingshui again, there were many more troops on the south bank.
"My husband, you are old and weak!" said the attendant.
"I saw it."
Wang Ju returned to Bianjing.
There were also many more garrison troops at the top of the city, with horses placed outside the city gate and hundreds of infantry on both sides, ready for action at any time.
There were very few pedestrians. When Wang Ju saw a family carrying baggage out of the city, several sergeants scolded them and sent them back.
"Your Majesty is still here, why are you running?"
If Nian Xu decided to move the capital, everyone in Bianjing City who had some options would go south.
The weather was hot, and some of the sergeants' eyes were a little red. They didn't know whether they had not slept well or were angry, but they just looked coldly towards Wang Ju.
In the past, let alone Wang Ju, the Prime Minister, even if it was a minor official, they would still have to smile.
The tolerance of the warriors towards the literati was gradually dissipating.
This is a dangerous sign.
Thinking of the old and weak people beside Yingshui, Wang Ju felt that this great Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil.
After entering the city, the shops on both sides were still open, but the business was much less.
The busiest business is the grain store, where people are waiting in line to buy grain with bags in hand.
In troubled times, people are worse than dogs. Although the people have not read history books, they still pass down many stories of the previous dynasties from generation to generation.
"That year, Chen Guo's general Ma Suo was trapped in the city. After eating the food, he ate the horses. After the horses were eaten, Ma Suo killed his concubine and used it as army rations. Later... they ate all the people in the city,
When the city fell, the remaining defenders looked...like animals."
The common people were muttering about the events of the previous dynasty while slowly watching Wang Ju enter the city.
There was suspicion in those eyes.
But in the past, it was respect.
All this changed as the Qin King's army approached Bianjing.
Wang Ju entered the palace to resume his duties.
"It's not what I expected."
Nian Xu cheered up and said, "Have you seen the Northern Xinjiang Army?"
"Looked at it."
"how?"
“Morale is still high!”
Nian Xu sighed, "Yes! We are about to approach the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, so we should have high morale."
Wang Ju glanced at the emperor and endured his words again.
Nian Xu waved his hand, "Wang Qing has worked hard, go back and rest!"
"I excuse myself."
Wang Ju came out of the palace and soon heard the news.
"Prime Minister Peng and Prime Minister Fang recommended generals to guard Yingshui, but Your Majesty refused."
"Why!"
Wang Ju sighed and stood up, "I'm leaving."
The battle between the emperor and Peng Jing and others lasted for half a day, and they were at a stalemate.
"Can't let it go!"
Nian Xu dined with his wife and children and said firmly: "Once you give in, I will become a puppet in the next step!"
Nian Ziyue said: "Father, if it doesn't work, just..."
"Just what?"
"nothing."
"Have a meal!"
In the afternoon, the two sides continued to argue.
Until the latest news comes.
"The Northern Xinjiang Army has arrived on the north bank of Yingshui!"
The king and his ministers were astonished.
"So fast?" Peng Jing said, "Have you ever attacked?"
"We are still guarding the bridge!" The emperor sneered, "Why are you panicking?"
Peng Jing blushed, "I'm worried..."
"Instead of worrying about this, you should prepare food and fodder!"
The emperor waved his hand, "It's over!"
Subsequently, the emperor promoted a clan member to lead the army.
"Go find Sun Shi and tell him that the Great Zhou Dynasty is in danger, and I am waiting for him in Bianjing!"
Xie Yingong quickly left Bianjing City.
…
Sun Shi has nothing to do now. He either reads or sorts out his articles and poems every day.
After Han Bi's entourage left, he had one more hobby every day, which was looking at the north.
He was a little restless today. After getting up, he bumped into the wall and had a bump on his forehead. While eating breakfast, his mouth was burned by meat soup and blistered.
"Something is wrong."
The old wife said: "Go back and worship God!"
"Even the gods can't save me!"
Sun Shi pointed to his heart.
From the day he left Bianjing, his heart died.
The old wife teased him, "Outsiders say that when the heart dies, the Tao comes alive. Have you ever realized the Tao?"
Sun Shi nodded, "If you hadn't been here, I would have walked into the mountains with my hair disheveled."
The old wife's eyes became gentler, "I'll wait for you to leave first."
Between an old couple and whoever leaves first, the one left behind will be the most pitiable.
Knock knock knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
The old servant went to open the door.
When I came back, I heard the footsteps of two people.
Bringing guests without warning...
Sun Shi slowly stood up.
A man he knew came in and was one of Han Bi's followers.
The attendant knelt down and presented a letter with both hands.
"Alang, let's go!"
Sun Shi's body shook a little, and his old wife supported him.
"Zirui is gone!"
"Alang was defeated and committed suicide."
The old servant took the letter and handed it to Sun Shi.
The old wife opened the letter and unfolded it.
——Master Sun, when the oath was still in my ears, I took the first step. Take care!
