Chapter 137 Returning to the Palace to See the King
() "We have heard that there was a fire in the Zhaiyang Mountains of Wei State half a month ago. It is said that the fire was caused by an earthquake. People on the Wei border were burned in the fire." The soldier suddenly suddenly
His face turned pale, and he suddenly said such a sentence. Xiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at the young soldier again, he couldn't help but feel satisfied. This man reacted so quickly. If he can be cultivated well, he will be able to talk about it later.
Maybe he can become a talent. When he thought of this, he didn't mention it. Instead, he asked: "The fire in Wei? The soldiers were destroyed in one day?" Every time he said a word, he became more and more aware of the matter.
As a Qin citizen, Wang Ben unfortunately took advantage of the earthquake in the end. Not only did it not have any bad impact on Qin, he actually used it to defeat the Wei army, which was not seriously affected by the earthquake. So many people in Wei died,
I'm afraid it's not only Wei Zeng who has a headache, but more importantly, it should be the earthquake fire and the rumors caused by the death of a large number of soldiers!
It seemed that he had indeed underestimated Wang Bi! Xiang Yan sighed, feeling a little more regretful and a little more wary. Wang Zai already had such a talent at a young age. Once he grows up in the future,
Isn't it true that his achievements are far above his own? He is not jealous of the virtuous. If Wang Ben was born in Chu State, Xiang Yan would risk his life to keep Wang Ben safe. But this man was born in Qin State, so
Talents tend to be enemies of oneself. The more excellent such a person is, the more Xiang Yan will not keep him! When he thought of this, Xiang Yan quickly said: "People are looking for Mr. Huang immediately. Although Wang Ben is young,
His character is like Jiang Lao and spicy. He can neither be used by Chu nor can he become an enemy of Chu. This person must be eliminated so that I can sleep peacefully!" Everyone heard what he said and knew it.
The worries and fears in his heart, while scolding Wang Ben for being cunning and cunning, were all ignored. Xiang Yan took another look at the soldier who came to deliver the message, and his heart sank:...
"What's the situation in Chu State now?" When he said this, many soldiers who were still angry at Wang Ben for being so intelligent and almost demonic were suddenly stunned for a moment, and then they came back to their senses and hurriedly asked
He turned his attention to the soldier. When the soldier saw Xiang Yan, he asked himself again. He quickly endured his worries and replied in succession: "Now all the kings are deeply uneasy. The Wei army has arrived at the border of Chu. If the king does not return.
I'm afraid something big will happen. I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it!" How could Xiang Yan not know this truth? But at this moment, he saw that Nanyang County was about to be captured but failed to do so, and he had lost so much, so he couldn't bear to do it.
Xiang Yan secretly hates and hates Wang Ben for being so cunning that he actually came up with a way to sow discord between Wei and Chu to make them kill each other, and on the other hand, he solved the crisis in Nanyang. Now even though he is
I'm afraid there isn't enough time to rush back to Chu State to stop this war. How can there be time to fight against Nanyang? I'm afraid that even if Nanyang County opens the city gate to welcome him, Xiang Yan won't have the time and effort to settle the sergeants.
!When thinking of this, Xiang Yan felt more and more reluctant, but he was not a person who didn't know the trade-offs. A mere Nanyang County could not be compared with the Chu State. Now, excluding the soldiers who had been killed and injured in battle, the Chu State's combat effectiveness was only
One or two percent, he is no match for the Wei army. If he does not return, he will have captured Nanyang, but will lose the Chu land. It will be too late to regret it. Xiang Yan is not a person who will lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds, so this
Although I still felt unwilling to do so, I had no choice but to give the order:
"The army immediately set off to return to the country. Xiang Mu went to the military camp, first dismissed the Wei army and sent them back to the country. He left 50,000 people in Xinzheng to guard the country. The rest of the soldiers formed by the Koreans were dispersed and mixed into the army.
Come back with me!" Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but cheered even though they knew that the war between Wei and Chu was the result of Wang Ben's conspiracy.
They are all in Chu. If something happens, even if they know that there is a misunderstanding with Wei Jun when they go back, many people will be angry, resentful and worried. Seeing that Xiang Yan has decided to go back, many people are relieved.
Xiang Mu, who was named, responded quickly and then withdrew.
Wang Bi and others were preparing for a celebration banquet in the evening. Wang Bi had already told Wei Teng a summary of what happened since he entered the Wei Dynasty, which made Wei Teng and the people guarding the city jealous.
He may not show it on the surface, but in his heart he is so regretful that his intestines are blue. In fact, after hearing Wang Ben’s words so happily, he also really wanted to go...
Compared with Wang Ben and others who killed happily, Wei Teng and others had to suffer for half a month. When they met, many people began to chatter. Zhang Liang and others did not return until nightfall.
After arriving in Nanyang, although he was extremely excited all the way, Zhang Liang was actually very tired. He was just a weak bachelor, and this journey was the most strenuous for him, but he endured it without even complaining for half a month.
He didn't even close his eyes with peace of mind before. Now when he arrived in Nanyang, Zhang Liang didn't join in the laughter of everyone. His spirit and physical strength couldn't compare with a man like Wang Ben who was as strong as an animal.
I didn't even wash myself, so I fell asleep.
Zhang Liang had his own ideas and killed many Wei and Chu people along the way. The hatred in his heart was slightly reduced, but what followed was his honor and interest as a dog-headed military advisor. He was now regarded as
He has tasted the benefits of coming up with ideas behind the scenes. He is only responsible for coming up with ideas and leaving all the work of fighting to others. He can get a sense of accomplishment without having to go out to fight and kill. It is really suitable for him! Wei Zhe
What he taught him was confirmed along the way. At this time, Zhang Liang really developed a fanatical interest in military literature.
The sense of accomplishment and excitement when one's own ideas are implemented is really easy for people to become addicted to this feeling.
Wang Ben and others were arguing for a long time before going on patrol and taking a rest. Wei Teng and Wang Ben had already concluded that the Chu Kingdom would be in chaos by now, and Xiang Yan would probably have to do it soon.
After returning home, he had been entangled with this old man for such a long time. To be honest, when he learned that Wang Ben had done something good that made him rush back to clean up the aftermath for him, Wei Teng inevitably felt a sense of schadenfreude in his heart. Xiang Yan
The old man is really difficult to deal with, he is cautious, and he is both perseverant and patient. Fighting with such a person is not only tiring, but also tiring. He is afraid that Nanyang County will really fall into his hands if he is not careful.
, Fortunately, this trip has not been a disgrace, and the king's expectations have not been disappointed. The old man Xiang Yan is finally leaving!
Wei Teng was almost not overjoyed. Sure enough, on the second day, everyone heard the news that Xiang Yan's army had left Xinzheng overnight. At the same time, it took more than half a month for the Qin State to suffer from the earthquake.
The panic and various influences were finally calmed down by Ying Zheng, who turned the crisis into a situation that was beneficial to him.
In Xianyang City, the newly presented bamboo slips after Wang Bi and others returned have been placed on Ying Zheng's desk. For more than half a month, not only Wei Zhe and others have been busy, but he also has to make some ideas every day.
To appease the people, and use some of the things he knew in his previous life that could be done after the earthquake to calm the hearts of the people, and at the same time, the herbs and other supplies collected in Xianyang City were continuously sent to Handan City and around Xianyang City.
Many people were also injured, but because of timely precautions, Ying Zheng had received the news long before, so the houses were reinforced, and only a few collapsed. By August, Nanyang County was completely safe.
Xiang Yan and others had already returned to Chu State, so Ying Zheng ordered Wang Ben to be summoned back, while Wei Teng, who had a calm temperament, was dismissed from the post of Nanyang County Sheriff and stayed in Nanyang City.
Nowadays, Nanyang County is seriously damaged, especially the city wall near Xinzheng in the north, which is almost completely destroyed. Even the top of the city tower is tilted by half, making it almost impossible to stand on it. Even if a person steps on the stairs, it looks like
You can feel that the city tower is shaking. Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for Nanyang County to rebuild. Wei Teng is cautious and Nanyang County has not arranged a county guard. He will take care of this matter. Ying Zheng
I feel relieved. Thanks to this earthquake, the stones and simple cement for building houses have been prepared long ago. Because Qin got the news early, these stones were almost never put to use, but now they are used to build Nanyang.
county.
Although the north side of Nanyang County was most severely damaged this time, it was only a few stones that smashed the city wall into this shape. After Wei Teng cried for a while about being left in Nanyang County,
When he saw the stones delivered, he still cheered up again. He had seen the strength of the post station before, and since there were enough stones, he simply became bolder and asked people to tear down the city wall and build another one.
Rebuild them all!
On the other hand, Wang Ben led 50,000 people back to Xianyang. He was afraid of meeting his father all the way, so he was so exhausted on the way that he did not dare to rest for a moment. When he returned to Xianyang, he had not spent two days.
Time, this has to be regarded as a miracle! Fortunately, the Qin soldiers are far better than others in physical fitness. During the days when they followed Wang Ben into Wei, they marched hundreds of miles in one day. Although they are tired now, they can bear it.
, only Wang Ben and Zhang Liang were very bold when they entered the Wei Dynasty. Once they returned to Xianyang, for some reason, when they thought of Ying Zheng's cold face and dark eyes, they immediately looked at each other.
With a sad face, Ling Ling shivered.
Fortunately for Zhang Liang, his parents had long since disappeared, leaving him alone. In addition to being punished by Ying Zheng, no one would scold him endlessly. In addition to facing Ying Zheng, Wang Ben also had to face
There was Wang Jian's men playing singles, and he had been beaten to a pulp by Wang Jian since he was a child. But now when he thought about what he had done, Wang Ben knew in his heart that he was afraid that his father would go crazy. When he thought that he was about to see Wang Jian's
The look in his eyes immediately made this fearless young man shudder. But he couldn't escape what was coming. Wang Ben knew that if he took the initiative to commit crime, Ying Zheng might be extra merciful, and he couldn't escape anyway.
, if it had been delayed for a while longer, Ying Zheng might have become even more angry. The two of them were so worried outside Xianyang City that they did not dare to go into the city. They were so bold when they were young, but now they are scared. You see.
I, I hope you, don’t know what to do.
"It's difficult now." Wang Ben sighed and glanced at the city gate. As soon as he said the words, Zhang Liang nodded with concern, but no matter how difficult it was, he would eventually go back, and the two of them exchanged views with each other.
After looking at each other, they bravely walked towards the city gate. The soldiers had already reported that they were going back to the city, but Wang Ben and others came back quickly. At this time, no one in the city had been notified.
Therefore, they were not allowed to enter for the time being, so they only temporarily camped outside the city to rest. Wang Ben and Zhang Liang did not dare to delay, so they gritted their teeth and then jumped up with a horse, not daring to go back to the house.
I went to wash up, entered the city directly, and headed towards the palace.
At this time, in Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng had already received the message that Wang Ben and Zhang Liang were asking for a meeting. Although he had already heard the news that Wang Ben had returned safely, he was always a little relieved because he had never seen the person in person.
No less, when he heard that Wang Ben and others were coming back, he quickly said: "Xuan!" The waiter standing in front of the palace door saluted and stepped back with small steps. After about two quarters of an hour, there was a sudden sound outside.
The sound of galloping footsteps and the sound of armor scraping as he walked around. Ying Zheng knelt on the couch without raising his head to look out the palace door. When he heard the footsteps coming in, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily.
The leader, Wang Ben, quickly leaned down and bowed down: "The last general, Wang Ben, has met the king."
"Zhang Liang has met the king!"
The two of them spoke at the same time, and Ying Zheng raised his head. After not seeing each other for half a month, Wang Ben's fierce aura became stronger and stronger. It was obvious that this kid had a lot of blood on this trip. Ying Zheng smiled, but there was a cold feeling in his heart.
se, raised his wrist: "Why do you two love me so polite? Why don't you please get up quickly!" The voice was as deserted as ever, but for some reason, when they heard the word love, Wang Ben and Zhang Liang brushed their backs.
They were covered in cold sweat. The two little ones were so brave when they went out that they were not afraid of anything. They even dared to do such a fatal thing as entering the Wei Dynasty. But at this time, they were called out by Ying Zheng in such a gentle way.
, both of them felt panic in their hearts for some reason. Although Wang Ben was bold, he was not really short-sighted. When he heard Ying Zheng's words, although there was a smile in his voice, Wang Ben was so sharp that he was almost like a beast.
However, his intuition quickly made him realize that Ying Zheng was probably angry!
As a result, Wang Ben didn't dare to really get up. He quickly knelt on the ground and stammered, "I am guilty, and now I invite you to the palace to ask for punishment from your Majesty." Wang Ben knew in his heart that Ying Zheng was a little guilty this time.
He was angry, but he also understood that since Ying Zheng was still willing to see him now, even if he was angry, he would not be so angry that he would seriously dislike him, so when he said this, he was still sober and his expression was normal.
