Chapter 380: Chu Envoy (I)
"Xuan-Chu State envoy to the palace!"
"Xuan-envoy of the State of Chu-"
There is no sound of panic, there is just a kind of Jin Ge's loudness.
In fact, can it not be loud? The majestic armor soldiers repeated down every five steps, and at least a hundred envoys shouted from the main hall to the palace gate, followed by all the armor soldiers neatly chopping the long halberds in their hands to the thick ground, which must have the spirit of Jin Ge that only the army can have.
Xiang Bo and Jing Ju entered the mansion, and at a glance they were majestic guards wearing red robes, wearing black iron armor, with a black cloak on their backs, holding all-metal halberds and longboard shields, no matter how they looked, they were each at least two meters tall, and even their faces were covered with hideous masks.
The specially dressed guards look very temperamental, giving people the impression that such a warrior like a bear is like an iron tower, such a guard stands at intervals in the main hall not far from the vestibule, and it seems that the left and right sides of the vestibule are standing neatly arranged pawns?
"A lot of crossbows." Jing Ju restrained his dissatisfied expression, and whispered that his eyes kept staring.
There are a lot of strong crossbows, and there are at least five hundred soldiers with crossbows standing on the left and right sides of the vestibule, they are wearing yellow leather armor, and they are also wearing red battle robes, and the crossbows in their hands are the crossbows that the Qin army can shoot four hundred paces, and a long sword about seventy centimeters is hung from the belt around the waist, and behind them are crossbow arrows containing at least fifty crossbow arrows.
"Hehe, Lu Hou should have arranged a knife and axe hand, how did he become a crossbowman?" Xiang Bo was not frightened, giving psychological pressure to the envoys of other countries is a means that the countries have played countless times in hundreds of years, and he also has the leisure to explain.
Is it necessary? Is it necessary for Lu Zhe to deliberately arrange so many soldiers to scare Xiang Bo and Jing Ju? The answer, of course, is yes. However, this arrangement is not completely aimed at Xiang Bo and Jingju, the usual defense of Lu Zhe's mansion is no worse than now, but the defense is not on the surface.
In normal times, the number of soldiers guarding Lu Zhe's mansion has never been less than 1,000, and these 1,000 people are more hidden in the shadows in addition to patrolling and standing guard. In addition to the defense personnel of the pro-army armor sergeants. There were also at least two hundred samurai who were not soldiers in the vicinity of the mansion, and if something came into trouble, not only these people, but the horn of the alarm could pour out at least 5,000 people.
Lu Zhe is the victorious side against the Chu State, there is no need for him to give more psychological pressure to Xiang Bo and Jingju on the scene, and the answer sheet handed over on the battlefield is already the best pressure. Then the arrangement has only one purpose, just to create the illusion that iron tools have been widely used, so as to obtain what is desired in the subsequent negotiations.
Jing Ju felt that the guards standing on both sides of the road looked at him coldly, as if they were looking at a lamb to the slaughter, and this gaze made him feel more frightened than any verbal intimidation, so that he walked a little crookedly.
"What kind of road is this? There are such roads everywhere in Nanling City. I don't know what kind of material it is. Xiang Bo paid attention to his feet, and he was full of curiosity about some new things in Nanling City. Armor? He knew very well that when the result was not discussed, Lu Zhe would not treat them well, so what was he afraid of the armor for?
Not only the road, Xiang Bo is also curious about the water conservancy system of Nanling City, he has deliberately observed those aerial canals, drinking the water transported into the city in this way absolutely does not have to worry about drinking feces, urine or other filth, and it seems that the sedimentation system of those caissons in the city also has a special role.
I heard, just heard. Lu Zhe wanted to build numerous public bathhouses in Nanling City, and it seemed that there should be at least one bathhouse for every 100 people.
To be honest, Xiang Bo, who built a bathhouse or something, felt that it was purely because he had a lot of money and no place to spend it, and he was surprised by Lu Zhe's amount of money when he paid attention to this news.
What does it mean to have enough money? As long as there is a trade route, Lu Zhe will not lack supplies. Whether it is bits and pieces of daily necessities, or strategic materials such as war horses and grain, some people have paid enough money to send them thousands of miles.
There is another topic to be derived here, Xiang Bo also heard that Lu Zhe was going to overhaul the road. It is said that the counties under his rule will be connected by the scale of a gallop road with a width of at least ten zhang. This is only under the rule of Lu Zhe, I heard that there was also communication with Wei and Han, and the king of Wei and Han contributed manpower. Lu Zhe provided wealth and materials to build the Chi Road to Chen County and Surabaya County.
Chen County and Surabaya County, Xiang Bo can see that as long as the road is repaired, Lu Zhe will have a road that can march quickly if he wants to send troops to the Central Plains in the future, which is obviously a strategic foreshadowing for the Central Plains.
The King of Wei and the King of Han have no reason to refuse Lu Zhe's construction, after all, if Lu Zhe wants to attack Chen County and Surabaya County, he will definitely be crushing, not to mention that Lu Zhe's reason is very sufficient, how to send aid materials without a good road, when Wei and Han need reinforcements, Lu Zhe can also take advantage of a good road to let the reinforcements arrive faster.
Even if he knew that Lu Zhe wanted to invade the city faster, Xiang Bo was able to predict that Wei Wangji and Han Wangcheng would not refuse. This has nothing to do with any distant worries and near-term worries, just a simple choice after weighing, that is, a strategist with an intelligence of one hundred and eighty will not use far-sighted worries as a reason to refuse, after all, their hopes of participating in the deer competition are so low that they don't have to fight for it, and it is the best choice to hold on to the thighs of a strong man and live.
Coming to the door of the hall, Xiang Bo and Jing Ju stopped.
Xiang Bo was puzzled to find that in the cold weather, Jing Ju's forehead was full of sweat, and Jing Ju was trembling holding Wang Jie's hand, shaking the feathers on Wang Jie and the tail of the beast trembling all the time.
"No, not going in?" When did Jingju walk such a road? Every fierce guard passing by in the vestibule, which is less than two hundred meters away, looked at it with the eyes of a lamb, and the pampered person did not fall down on the way, which was already considered to be courageous.
Get in? Xiang Bo felt that Jing Ju was scared stupidly, according to the propaganda before entering the building, and there was a etiquette called Xuanjin before entering the building to bring the meeting, and he walked in directly and was hacked to death, and there was no place to shout injustice.
Jing Ju was afraid, but he was not afraid of this. Even when he was still in the state of Chu, there was almost no possibility of going to other countries in his capacity. And he didn't need to learn the knowledge that an envoy should have, he really didn't know that there was such a process.
It's asking the same question, but it's asking "Don't call in?" ”。
The person who will ask that must be a general, not that the general has no brains, but the general usually doesn't think about so many detours.
"It's best to let it dry for a while, and wait a quarter of an hour." Kuaitong doesn't know when he always holds a feather fan in his hand, and in such a cold weather, he still shows the demeanor of a scribe one by one, and the cold and fever are definitely deserved.
Feather fan, when Lu Zhe was crazy, he read out the "Nian Nujiao-Chibi Nostalgia", this year the ghost knows where Chibi is, but this poem is worthy of being a famous poem that can be passed down through the ages, the scribe felt angry when he heard it, and the military general only felt his blood boiling when he heard it. The general's blood is boiling, and he won't ask if there are any allusions, but Wenchen has to ask about it anyway. At that time, Lu Zhe was crazy and idle, what lupine scarf was under the show, what was the decisive victory, how to measure the grand words, and how to come, the result was that Kuaitong was holding a feather fan on a cold day.
Lu Zhe exercised the Qin system, Qin to the left, this used to be called the hall is now called the main hall, Lu Zhe is properly sitting on the main seat of the high platform with three steps paved, the left below is the generals kneeling on the mat, and the scribes are sitting on the right.
The generals present, the class must be higher, the commanders of the three major legions, except for Ji Bu, who is out on the expedition, is the first lieutenant, followed by Sima Xin, and the next is Mei Kai, Su Lie, Zhou Wen, etc., who will at least be promoted to partial generals or pro-military captains. Each of them was wearing armor specially prepared by Lu Zhe, and those armors were carved on them, which were basically some mythical beasts.
Not to mention, the military general should wear the armor of the beast style, which not only looks extraordinary, but also looks full of the hideousness that a martial artist should have.
As for Wenchen...... There are only a few scribes around Lu Zhe, aren't they Kuai Tong, Yan Bi, Xiao He and the one who changed careers halfway?
Oh, the Wenchen here refers to serving in the command center, not counting county guards such as Zheng Jun and so on.
"Almost." Lu Zhe knocked on the desk.
It's not even a quarter of an hour, and according to Kuaitong's meaning, it's polite to dry the Chu envoy for half an hour, and it will be seen if Chu Guo dares to engage in any conspiracy after being beaten.
"Call in." Yan Bi has always been what Lu Zhe says.
There was a sound of announcement, and Xiang Bo and Jing Ju walked in side by side.
After coming in, Xiang Bo still didn't have his eyes to look around, he kept looking at Lu Zhe, who was in the main seat but not sitting, and said that he was lying and did not look like Lu Zhe who was lying down.
"Good...... Young, so frivolous. "Uncle Xiang saw Lu Zhe for the first time, and Lu Zhe in his eyes didn't seem to have woken up and reached out to grab the wine bottle on the desk and didn't catch it. After reading Lu Zhe, he shifted his gaze and saw two beautiful women kneeling about two steps away from Lu Zhe with something in their hands, and that Mei Ji was wearing a long skirt made of Shu brocade, and the bewitching of the woman's body showed what it meant to be bumpy and convex on the smooth fabric: "What do you mean?" Silk satin for Miki to wear. ”
There are different identities, the best materials are definitely not worn by everyone, and sometimes wearing clothes that should not be worn is at the cost of life, especially the one who shows off in Shu brocade seems to be a phoenix?
That's right, it's the phoenix, the phoenix, and now it doesn't refer to the queen, it simply refers to the peerless beauty.
"How can you wear clothes like that?" Xiang Bo was very curious about what Lu Zhe had in terms of Mei Ji.
It's really just a general appearance, because Lu Zhe will not be able to find Tianzi for a while, Zhao Wan, who is originally very temperamental, is a wife, Lu Pheasant and Yixiu can show off, one is dressed up with temperament but looks old, and the other is no matter how you dress up, you have no temperament, and in the end, Yan Bi doesn't know who to borrow such two girls.
