Chapter 158: The Envoy (II)

The rain had stopped in the first half of the night, but by now, the sky had not yet cleared.

The clouds cover the sky, the villages and fields appear hazy, and the fields and roads are winding and refreshed from afar.

Wei Yue, who was slightly depressed and irritable in his mood, came out of the city.

The cold wind gusted, blowing through the dry woods, making a rustling sound.

Wei Yue stood on a high ground, looking at the drills in the military camp below with a sinking face, the weapons in his hands were all wooden, fighting each other, even if it was wooden, the knives and guns were still the same as the jungle, constantly gathering and killing, but these changes all fell in his eyes.

The wind does not stop, the clouds in the sky, from time to time cover the sun, the surrounding rays, appear a little gloomy, around the king of Wu, five hundred forbidden troops with knives, spears, bows, all solemn, without the slightest sound.

At this moment, it was noon, and it was supposed to be the time for dinner, and these people had eaten the meal in advance, and they didn't pay attention to the passage of time, but just looked intently into the distance.

At the same time, he is also vigilant about the situation around him.

"Your Majesty, the recruits are not bad!" Someone said, Wei Yue just said "En", and did not speak, the reason why he came to watch the training of the two teams of recruits today was because he was a little anxious about pacifying Wu Yue.

The pacification of the five towns is still going on, but there will be soldiers lost every day, although Wei Yue doesn't pay much attention to these losses, and Wu Yue's pacification is also a matter of time.

The development of Keshu and the changes in Jingzhou made him feel a sense of crisis.

The emperor in his hands is already in vain, and if he can't quickly solve Wu Di, the situation will not be good, and sometimes he really wants to completely destroy the court.

However, this is not the time to cut things down, there is nothing wrong with the chaos in the world, but the situation has not yet torn the last fig leaf.

Wu Yue has not yet been completely pacified, so naturally he will not lead the spearhead of the whole world to himself.

"Your Majesty, why are they setting up an ambush here?" At this time, Wei Yue's side, among the personal guards who followed, someone saw that Wei Yue had been hanging a little irritated expression during this time, thought about it, and still asked a question, wanting to distract the lord.

These people are Wei Yue's henchmen, and they followed and killed back then, although their positions were not high, they were very critical, and they were all able to talk to Wei Yue.

Wei Yue is still very peaceful with these old people, and besides, the value of these guards who protect their safety at any time is absolutely different from the value of the inner servants who only need to serve.

The chamberlain can be replaced at any time, but if he is capable and loyal, and he can trust the person who protects his safety, it is not so easy to cultivate.

Regarding the question raised by the old man next to him, Wei Yue replied casually: "This road, although it is not the best place for ambushes, but the more this is the case, the more likely the other party is to relax their vigilance. ”

"Being smart is mistaken by being smart, that's the truth. Wei Yue said with emotion.

This truth, it's not that I don't know, Wei Yue looked at the martial arts below, but his mind turned to Wang Hongyi, the Duke of Shu, with the recent information coming, he has become more and more aware that this person is really a big obstacle to his pacification of the world!

Now Wang Hongyi's strength is not too big, Shu has gone through a great chaos, and only half of the strength of Jingyang Erzhou, but once he is given a successful invasion, Shu and Jingzhou, Wu will fall behind, and it will be difficult to resist.

And Wang Hongyi's age also worries Wei Yue, it is now sixteen years old, and Wang Hongyi is only twenty-one years old!

At this age, he has become the lord of a land, and he quickly pacified Shudi, how can he not make people feel frightened?

You must know that he is already fifty years old, and the ancients are seventy years old, and the more difficult it is to be hostile in the future, so he must defeat the Shu army as soon as possible.

Of course, it is to train new recruits.

Although the veterans have experience, they can die one less and one less, and the new recruits cannot grow up as soon as possible, and during the development period of these two or three years, the expansion of the territory will not be smooth.

For Wei Yue, this is an unforgivable thing.

In the real decisive battle, there must be a team that dares to fight a tough battle and has a large number of people, which is the real capital to deter the world!

However, of course, there is no need to say these to others, Wei Yue said indifferently: "This training, the important thing is not these sneak attacks and ambushes, and the actual combat skills of both sides, whether the ambush is successful or not, is not considered to be the victory of this team, after the end of the battle to see which team of the captured enemy is more, it will be determined which team wins, the winning team, today there is stewed meat and soju to drink, the other team, only boiled vegetables, let them watch the other team's people with food." ”

"No!" the crowd responded.

"Report!" At this time, from the back road, a messenger came on horseback, and as soon as he appeared, he immediately turned over and bowed down in front of Wei Yue, and said: "There is news from the city, a messenger from Jingzhou has arrived in the city, with a letter from Jingzhou Zheng Pingyuan, and Lord Wen asked the little one to come and tell the king." ”

The said Master Wen is the official in charge of receiving the Ministry of Rites in the city.

"The messenger from Jingzhou?" Wei Yue's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he returned to normal, with a faint mockery in his voice: "It turns out that in Zheng Pingyuan's eyes, there is still the existence of the imperial court." ”

But as soon as he said this, he didn't think it was very appropriate, and said: "This king will go back first!"

Having said this, he asked his generals to supervise the results of the training of the recruits here, and he rode on his horse and headed for the county town under the protection of him.

The county seat of Jishan County is the residence of King Wu, and the city and the surrounding areas have been reorganized very peacefully.

The soldiers defending the county town all knew Wei Yue and King Wu's personal guards, and when they entered the city, these soldiers all bowed very standardly.

The uniform bow movement is very neat.

Wei Yue went straight to the palace, the palace is not allowed to ride horses, but this Wu land is owned by Wei Yue, as the master of the palace, what else can he not do?

At that moment, hundreds of horsemen entered the palace directly, and only dismounted in front of a palace.

The main hall of King Wu's office is somewhat similar to Wang Hongyi's secretary pavilion, the layout is more luxurious, there is a passage in the middle, and there are many heavily armed guards, in the heart of King Wu Wei Yue, his own safety and secret protection is a very important thing.

When Wei Yue entered the main hall, there were officials who trotted in front of him.

"Where is that person?" Wei Yue asked as he walked forward, without turning his head.

"Your Majesty, the messenger is resting at the inn. The officer replied cautiously.

Without looking at the official's cautious flattering expression, Wei Yue commanded: "Let the messenger come here to see this king." ”

"No!" the other party's voice showed the two feelings of meekness and neatness just right, and quietly withdrew.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yujin saw that at this time, the flag was like a forest, trembling and hunting in the cold wind.

The voice of the salute official is like a bell, and the sound of subdued frustration echoes on the long steps in front of the hall.

Zhang Yu wore an official uniform with six grades, and entered the inner hall in response, and walked according to the wall from the back of the main hall, with a rockery in the middle of the pond, crossing a stream, and the living water went around the corridor and through the house.

There were many armored soldiers in the corridor around him, and when he arrived inside, Zhang Yu restrained his spirit and kowtowed: "Meet King Wu!"

Wei Yue was condescending and watched, at this time, there were dark clouds outside, and the hall was dim, and a lamp was added.

Under the bright and soft orange light, Wei Yue looked extremely calm, looked at the person kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "Zheng Pingyuan has not paid tribute for a long time, do you remember to come to Jin?"

"King Wu Chitose, Jingzhou has been in war for many years, and it is difficult for my lord to see him, and now he is a little calm, so I came to meet King Chitose. Zhang Yu said calmly: "This is the expression of my father-in-law!"

When he spoke, he was not too humble, so that Wei Yue's face couldn't help but change, but he didn't attack, he took the expression and browsed it under the lamp, and after reading it, Wei Yue's expression looked very strange.

"The Lord ......"

"Nothing. "Wave your hand and tell the person next to you not to speak.

Jiangling, it's really a big deal, Wei Yue's gaze fell on the people below again: "This is your father-in-law's recital, is it written by himself?"

"Yes, when the minister was ordained, it was the lord who said so. Zhang Yu said.

Wei Yue said without being salty or light: "This expression of ink and ink is fragrant with treasure color, and the words are not bad, but it is bold, and he dares to bargain with the imperial court, and his heart can be punished." ”

"The king can immediately punish the ministers, but he can't punish the lord of my family...... Jiangling is located in the center of Jingzhou, and now it is the center of luck in the south...... I don't know what will happen if the Duke of Shu gets Jiangling?"

"Bold, dare to be so rude in the palace, it's really mad!" Wei Yue was furious, and immediately moved his own soldiers left and right, and his armor was awe-inspiring.

Zhang Yu was not afraid, and said: "My lord is just struggling to survive, and the current situation is not in Shu but in Wu, and it will be decided in a blink of an eye, the minister is weak and can't fight chickens, and the king wants to kill and chop, nothing more than a word." The lord of my family fights for a place, and the envoy of the minister also fights for his life, that's all. ”

This is a scoundrel, which means that my lord is now thinking about speculating on a piece of land, and I also want to fight to get rich...... If you want to kill me, even if I'm unlucky.

Hearing this, Wei Yue couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh: "Interesting, there is a messenger like you in the world, it's just that, Lone appreciates it very much, your lord's request, I agreed, you wait for the will of the court!"

"Your Majesty will crown your lord as the Marquis of Chu, the Governor of Jingnan, and the Lone Society will send a soldier to personally accompany the angels and the Holy Decree to Jingnan. ”

The small court is just a decoration now, as long as King Wu allows it, the holy decree will naturally be issued, in this regard, everyone present understands that they don't want Wei Yue to be so refreshing, Zhang Yu was overjoyed, couldn't help but be awe-inspiring, kowtowed and said: "Thank you King Wu!"

Seeing Zhang Yu retreating, Wei Yue's face was immediately gloomy, and he swept the things on the table with a "snap", and ordered: "I went to Jingzhou to check, who is giving advice to Zheng Pingyuan!"

"No!" someone immediately responded.
