Changan

May has always been clear, and this day is no exception.

The red sun hung high in the sky, the blue sky did not have any clouds, and occasionally a breeze blew, bringing the smell of grass.

Although the current Guanzhong, due to soil erosion, is a poor land, but Chang'an has always been a big city, the economy in the city, is quite acceptable, most of the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the pedestrians on the street are inexhaustible.

People who know the situation in Chang'an well know that this scene, if the trade route is cut off and there is no supply, it will not be long before it will gradually decline.

Close to the inner city of the Van high gate of the street where the big families gathered, the buildings that look magnificent are just empty shelves that support the façade, the big family is really better than the monkey, the foundation of the family, is never put in one place, if the Guanzhong is still stable, but if there is really a case, then within half a month, the entire Chang'an business bank will go ten.

However, King Qin has been sitting in Chang'an, and the means are good, which has calmed the hearts of some people.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way......".

In the afternoon, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, and another group of cavalry in black armor patrolled by, each with a snake spear, sharp and cold, and the faces of these black-armored cavalry were also tense, and they looked around with a blank face.

Seeing this scene, the people on the street hurriedly separated and retreated to the side, seeing this group of cavalry passing, with a look of envy and fear on their faces.

"The Black Armor Cavalry is truly mighty!"

"But no, I heard that these black-armored cavalry soldiers are very rare, and they are all the king's personal soldiers!"

"But it's no wonder, in the past, the black-armored cavalry patrolled once a day, and most of the time the city guards were patrolling the streets, why did the black-armored cavalry appear so frequently this month?"

"You often boast that you have a way, and you haven't even heard about the upcoming war?"

"How can this happen?"

When it came to the military affairs, he originally had the heart to look at the lively people, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

What living beings are willing to be displaced by the resumption of war?

Even if it does not endanger their own safety, this price rise will bring huge losses and burdens to the common people.

But this common people, apart from sighing when they hear it, what else can they do9

The black-armored cavalry that brought up this topic had already arrived at the outskirts of the inner city and were patrolling the streets.

Suddenly, I saw a rider coming from a distance, looking at the tracks, some of which were not in line with ordinary people.

The black-armored cavalry led by the leader immediately snorted coldly: "Stop!"

The man on horseback knew the power of the black-armored cavalry, so he hurriedly reined in his horse and stopped.

"I'm a member of the intelligence guard, and I have something important to report to the king, this is my waist card!" and threw a waist card over.

The leader of the black armor army caught it with one hand, looked through it in his hand, and saw that it was not a fraud, so he threw the tool back.

"Let's go over. ”

"Thank you. He bowed his hand, and then rode away.

"Boss, this mortal king's intelligence guard frequently earns and disburses, and it looks like the situation has a big deal. A black-armored soldier whispered as he watched the man go away.

The officer of the Black Armor Army at the head glanced at him and said, "I can't criticize this matter, continue to patrol!"

"No!"

Without looking at the figure heading towards the inner city, the leader of the Black Armor Army continued to patrol around the city with his subordinates.

In the eyes of outsiders, these black-armored troops are the pro-army of King Qin, but in fact, this pro-army is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

They are the outermost layer of the pro-army, and the intelligence guard of the Heavenly King who passed just now is not more trusted than them, but they are more in contact with it.

The Black Armor Army is just patrolling the city, and the intelligence guard can bring urgent news to the King of Qin at any time, and even ask for the king directly in a hurry, in order not to cause trouble for themselves, when they encounter such a person, they don't pay much attention to it, and let it go according to the system.

At the same time, the guard who was heading towards the gate of the inner city finally entered the inner city after encountering the Vandau card post again.

At this time, King Guo Wentong, the king of Qin, had just finished a batch of affairs, his body was a little tired, he came to the side hall, reclining on the soft collapse, and gently beating his legs and shoulders by all palace people.

There are also palace people who are anxiously recording fruits, green onions, white jade, hands, and putting fruits into Guo Wentong's mouth one by one. The palace was burning with relaxing incense, and it was very quiet, and Guo Wentong was even a little drowsy.

At that moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, and an attendant walked in from outside.

"The husband is asleep, and the slave and maid have something important to do. The waiter who came in had a round face, white and clean, with crooked eyebrows and eyes, and when he looked at the past, he couldn't help but feel comfortable, and the whole person was also a feeling of harmony.

"What's the matter?" Guo Wentong slowly opened his eyes, looked at the servant in front of him, and asked lightly.

Seeing Guo Wentong asking, the chamberlain hurriedly replied: "The king, the king of intelligence Wei and the king just asked to see him, let the slave and maid come in and tell ......."

"Oh, Wang He is here, help Gu up. In this sentence, Guo Wentong is right to the left and right.

The chamberlain also hurriedly stepped forward, and together with the palace people, he helped Guo Wentong up, put on his shoes and socks for the other party, and then stood aside.

"Let the king come in. Standing up and moving on the ground, Guo Wentong felt that most of the tiredness in his body had finally dissipated, and his body was much more comfortable, so he walked to the seat next to him.

The waiter answered the promise and went out to summon someone.

Guo Wenxiang leaned back on the chair, and told the palace people to bring him a cup of fragrant tea.

The palace people had already prepared, and after a while, they brought the fragrant tea.

Sitting on a high seat, holding a delicate cup in his hand, Guo Wentong took a sip. At the same time, thinking about what Wang He would enter the palace for this time.

At the beginning, he sent out ordinary people including Wang He to assist the intelligence guards who obtained information, but in fact, he was not a person who did not trust the intelligence guards, but no one in this palace could be allowed to enter at will.

However, usually, the information received on the day is sorted out and handed over to the agency in charge of the matter, which is then delivered by the officials

In case of urgent information, the personal guards sent by King Qin will personally send the information to the palace.

Wang He's entry into the palace this time must be something important.

Just as he was thinking, the sound of footsteps came again.

The chamberlain and the king walked in from the outside, and as soon as they entered, the chamberlain retreated into the distance.

Wang He walked in front of Guo Wentong and stopped at a distance

"The minister and the king, I have seen the husband king. "He looks very ordinary, he is not bad in terms of etiquette, and his figure is also very tall and slender, at first glance, he is a battle-hardened person, with a cold temperament on his body, he speaks, his speech is clear, he bows to the ground with quick movements, and bows respectfully upward.

"Get up and talk back. Guo Wentong looked at him for a while, and said lightly.

"Thank you. After Wang and Shane, they stood up very quickly.

Guo Wentong looked at him, then looked left and right, waved his hand, except for one chamberlain, the other palace people all retreated, then sat there, and asked lightly: "This time I entered the palace, but what news came?"

"Back to the Heavenly King, exactly!" Wang He handed over the information he had just received from Liangzhou.

The waiter took it, inspected it, and handed it over to Guo Wentong.

After expanding and reading the above content, Guo Wentong's face changed, either cloudy or sunny.

News came from Liangzhou that the Hu people's attack had subsided and they had retreated to the two cities they had occupied.

Looking at the information in his hand again, Guo Wentong thought silently in his heart.

He didn't say a word above, and the people below didn't dare to say anything, so the side hall was quiet for a while, and the lost needle could be heard.

When it came to Guo Wentong's position, it was clear what Hu Ren's intention was.

"It turns out that the Hu people can't pull out, and it doesn't have a decisive effect!"

The Hu people won the annex, but in fact it was unstable, and last year's continuous war, the soldiers and horses were very tired, and separated by the two states of Yiqing, there was no major southward movement.

Therefore, now that the strategy of Liangzhou has been suspended, it is nothing more than hoping that he will insert a knife in Luoyang.

Understanding this intention, Guo Wentong thought about the impact on himself.

On the good side, he can take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and draw out military power to look at Luoyang.

If it is bad, you will take a chestnut from the fire, and if you don't care, you will lose a lot of money.

There is a world of difference between the two, and Guo Wentong must consider it carefully.

It's just that Chang'an, where he is located, is not the ideal capital of Jiandu.

Chang'an is located in the Guanzhong Plain, in the south of the Wei River, north of the Qinling Mountains, surrounded by mountains, in the war, it has a great advantage, but the population of this country is large, food and materials, transported by the trade route, just relying on self-sufficiency is not enough for Witt, and Chang'an is located in the Guanzhong territory, and because of soil erosion and poor land, there are not many people who can be raised, in this case, how can Guo Wentong not think?

It was he who wanted to stay here and make a natural defense for Wang Hongyi's southern country, and he also wanted Wang Hongyi and Hu Ren to let him go! Once these two people split a victory, the last side would not truce its troops, and it would definitely swallow up the power he had to pacify the world!

Guo Wentong is a male shepherd, and he refuses to sit still, so he can only wait for the opportunity to move!

Maybe...... , is Hu Ren's move an opportunity for himself?

Thinking of this, Guo Wentong muttered: "Liangzhou continues to send people to keep an eye on it, as for Luoyang ......."

A hint of longing flashed in his eyes, if he obtained Luoyang, such an embarrassing situation today would be alleviated.

Thinking of his actions in the past few years, all of them were in Wang Hongyi's calculations, and there was a fire in Guo Wentong's heart, slowly burning.

For a moment, he made up his mind.

The husband can't enjoy the nine tripods, so he cooks the five tripods!

At this critical time, we must not hesitate, we can only fight to the death!
