Liangzhou Yanqi County

It is already very close to the Hu people, but 700 years ago, the city was established here, there are many temples, there are martial arts arenas, there are yamen, and the population is quite large.

At this time, there were many displaced people gathered among the cities, scattered in the streets and alleys, the weather was cold, and many refugees were dying of hunger, and when they saw the army leaving, they were numb.

Guo Wentong watched silently, listening to the voices of many subdued officials and clansmen.

After the war, people's livelihood was difficult, it was simply the same thing, but now the overall situation is still good.

After Wang Hongyi usurped the south, Guo Wentong knew that he would go south, or attack the Central Plains, and if nothing could be done, he gathered troops to attack Liangzhou, although this Liangzhou was poor, but there were still some people, especially with a large number of horses.

The significance of taking Liangzhou is to have a horse base, as long as there is a year or two, with the power of Guanzhong, there will be 100,000 fine horses, in this way, the general trend can be used again.

Riding the good horse sent by the Liangzhou family, patrolling the city, accompanied by the officials and generals on the left and right, although Guo Wentong was not soft-eared, he still made him very happy.

However, Liangzhou is now in a difficult situation, and it is not an area that Guo Wentong has operated for many years, Guo Wentong pondered.

Maybe it is to buy and gather some food for relief, in order to collect the hearts of the people in Liangzhou, so as not to empty themselves by these local families, these scruples and suspicions are also normal.

What made Guo Wentong more satisfied was that the generals and families of Liang Ling flattered him for coming, and no one dared to resist his majesty.

It's just that the cold won't last long, and he still needs to take precautions.

Wang Shang,, Guo Wentong was thinking about this matter, someone came to his side and whispered a few words in his ear, and Guo Wentong's face immediately changed slightly.

After receiving an affirmative answer to the matter?,, Guo Jiatong showed no intention of continuing his inspection, made an excuse, and hurriedly returned to the temporary camp outside the city.

As soon as he entered the main tent, he asked the people beside him, "Where are the people?"

"Your Majesty, let them go down and rest, and if the king wants to see him, then go and invite him to come. , the pro-soldier lowered his hand and listened to the order, and immediately.

Guo Wentong said: "Lone wants to see him, go and invite him." ”

"No!" the soldiers withdrew, and after a while, the sound of footsteps came from outside, and someone asked to see him.

"Come in. Although Guo Wentong was anxious, his face was still calm, which was the cultivation of qi for more than ten years.

Soon a person walked in outside the tent, tall, twenty-five or sixteen years old, with an ordinary appearance, as soon as he came in, he immediately turned over and knelt down, and went up: "Su Yuan has seen the king,,

"Su Qing quickly excused himself and flattened down. , Guo Wentong looked carefully, and saw that this person had an ordinary appearance, but he was full of energy, with a beard, but he was tanned, and he looked very busy with royal affairs.

"Thank you, Wangshang!" Su Yuan thanked him and stood up.

Guo Wentong smiled: "Sit down, there's no need to tighten up like this...... I heard that I have obtained a map of the vicinity of Luoyang, and I have bought off the internal response?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has indeed obtained a map of the Luoyang area, as well as a list of internal responses, and is about to present it to the king. , Su Yuan saluted again, and said.

"Present it to Lonely、, Guo Wentong almost couldn't suppress his joy, but his voice was still comfortable and gentle.

Since he couldn't get Su Yuan to personally send the map over, there were several Qin princes and soldiers standing in the tent, one of them walked over, took the map from Su Yuan's hand, and handed it over to Guo Wentong.

Looking at the map in his hand, Guo Wentong's hand trembled slightly.

The joy in my heart unfolded, and there was indeed a clear map inside, which was very detailed, and each county and even the village had signs and markers, as well as rivers, forests, and hills.

Of course, Luoyang is even more careful.

Finally, there is a large list of internal responses.

"Okay, good!" Guo Wentong couldn't help but connect two good words: "This picture is really detailed, Su Yuan, it's a big one!"

"Thank you to the king!" Su Yuan hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

Guo Wentong asked some more details about the city map, and seeing that it was reasonable, Guo Wentong was even more satisfied, and retreated Su Yuan, Guo Wentong looked at the city map in his hand and felt a lot of emotion.

For more than a few years, he has worked hard to expand his territory and grow Qinchuan, just to be the king of Qin?

His purpose is very clear, the whole world! He wants to take over the whole world!

Now that the state of Chu has been established in the south, the war has been involved in the Central Plains, and there is a foreign invasion in the north.

It is to take Luoyang after taking Liangzhou.

Luoyang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, Pingpi Mountain in the north, Luoshui in the south, Huhugao in the east, Yinghan Valley in the west, and Luoyang Plain in the middle.

Since ancient times, seven dynasties have built their capitals here.

The so-called Heyang Dingding, located in the Central Plains and corresponding to the Quartet, Luoyang is the world's traffic stronghold, military fortress, if you back to Guanzhong Liangzhou and take it, there is an opportunity to usurp the world.

It's just two years ago, Luoyang County Cheng Liu Man suddenly instigated a rebellion, killed 10,000 people, usurped the entire Luoyang City, and began to establish himself Zheng Guogong, now there are 100,000 soldiers, although 100,000 soldiers are very wet, but it was not enough to plan before, and now Liangzhou has been obtained, and 30,000 cavalry are added.

"It seems that we still have to go back to Qinchuan quickly. "This time it was followed by military generals, and most of the Wenchen strategists stayed in Qindi, and at this time Liangzhou was pacified, and they needed to go back to Chang'an to discuss.

Thinking of this, he decided to untie the cable immediately, return to Changguan, and return to the right to calm down, if there is no change, in another three years and two years, this place will become a stable rear.

Thinking like this, Guo Wentong replied: "Rest tonight, and tomorrow morning, go out to draw crabs......

It's not that Guo Wentong is impetuous, but it is actually Luoyang who came to him, and he was too tempted.

Luoyang, east of Jianghuai, west of Guanlong, north of Youyan, south of Xiangjing, this place can be his only chance.

Liangzhou Yanqi County, Hefu

The temperature in Liangcun is low, and at this time, the sky is vast, and the rain in early winter is crackling and falling.

The He family was not built in a rich place, it looked very ordinary, there were carriages and horses in Pingli occasionally, and when a carriage marched into the gate of the courtyard, no one paid attention.

In the back house of the He family's annex, the second son of the family, He Benchang, who was over thirty years old, saw this mysterious guest in the study.

The servant was sent out by He Benchang, and the person who came was dressed very tightly, and when there were only two people in the study, He Benchang changed his comfortable appearance just now, plopped, and fell to the ground.

"Protégé Benchang, I have seen Master"

"Get up. , the person who came took off the hat on his head, and took off the robe that was tightly enclosed, and immediately showed the appearance of a Taoist.

After a few brief greetings between the two, He Benchang asked directly: "Master came here this time, but it was for ......"

"The teacher refuses to hide it, and he does come for this matter. , The Taoist sighed softly, and said slowly: "Since the teacher assisted the Great Khan, he has also saved some people, every time there is a war, there are still lives and souls, countless deaths and injuries, and the teacher refuses to see this kind of scene, can you understand?,

"Master, although the protégé lacks qualifications and understanding, he has always been able to understand Master, your compassionate mind, otherwise, why bother to turn around in front of the Great Khan again and again to save the people from fire and water. , He Benchang was serious.

Looking at the registered protégé in front of him, although he was not a protégé with him, he had a fate of more than ten years, and the Taoist nodded his head, and he was also a little moved.

"Chang'er's qualifications If you work hard, you will gain something, and there is no need to be too persistent. ，

"Yes, protégé Mingyi. ，

"This time, the Great Khan has intended to enter the Central Plains, Qinchuan must take the land, as long as it conforms to the will of heaven, then it will avoid the misery of the people here, and there will be future blessings, and Huize will be the future generations of the family. ，

"The protégé understood. , Hearing Master's words, He Benchang responded even more, and the two kept talking about the evening, but the Taoist refused to stay, and left directly by car.

He Benchang watched the carriage leave, and for a long time, he didn't go back.

"Second son, it's cold outside, you have a precious rest, so let's go back. , I don't know who the person in the carriage is, looking at the appearance of the second son, but he has guessed that it is a distinguished guest, seeing that the second son has been standing for too long, his personal servant can't help but remind him at this time.

It's the end of November, the weather is cold, and if the second son is in good health, they will definitely be punished. It can be bed ridden or fatal.

He Benchang glanced at the servant and said lightly: "Then go back." ，

When he returned to the inside, He Benchang came to the flower hall and said directly: "Let Zhang Da and Zhang Er come to see me." ，

"Yes, Childe" The servant knew that Childe was going to do business, and immediately went to call someone.

After a while, two ordinary-looking men came to the flower hall, turned over and knelt down, and said in unison: "I've seen the child"

"Zhang Da Zhang Er, get up. , He Benchang said lightly.

The two hurriedly stood up, standing in front of He Benchang with low eyebrows, waiting for the warning.

Slowly sipping the tea, after a while, He Benchang: "There is a good saying, raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, I give you good food and drink, I have not treated you badly for many years, we know in our hearts, and now it is time to use them." ，

"His Royal Highness the Great Khan's Dragon Son Balu is about to come to Liangzhou, before that, the people who can be used by the two of them must be mobilized, waiting for my advice, when they are about to go, what are the consequences of breaking my matter? ,

Understood. ，

"Just understand, go and prepare. ，

After Zhang Da and Zhang Er left, He Benchang's face showed a faint sneer.

"Sure enough, my husband paid off, and I was able to compare the opportunity"

He Benchang's biological mother is the main family, who was also born in a Liangzhou family, but she died early, leaving her second son still young.

Later, He's father married a wife and gave birth to an heir, and it didn't matter if the two He Benchang brothers were concubines, but the two of them were born tomorrow when their biological mother was dead, and they were born smart, with the support of their mothers, so they were naturally hated.

Tomorrow is different, there are two such tomorrows in front, and the lady who continues the string will inevitably be moved.

Therefore, when He Benchang was nine years old, his brother fell into the water and died.

And he was poisoned unconsciously, and if it weren't for the master's appearance, his life would have been lost.

Even so, his body has always been weak and sickly, he can't learn martial arts and literature, and he has no mother to take care of him, and gradually his father's feelings are getting weaker and weaker.

At the beginning, He Benchang was full of resentment and planned to retaliate with his stepmother, but this incident caused his father's disgust, how could there be too much affection in the family?

Even if there is, it has gradually faded in front of newcomers and young sons.

As He Benchang gets older, he understands more and more things.

So more than ten years have passed, and many grievances in the general situation have gradually calmed down, but the resentment in my heart has not diminished at all.

He Benchang made such a decision this time, and he also has a relationship with this in the past.

Raising his head, looking at the gradual change of weather, there was a cold wind blowing, and he couldn't help but shiver
