Chapter 262: Jinling (I)

Luoyang, Imperial Palace, Zheng Guogong's study

In front of this study, there is a lake, the scenery is very beautiful, the instrument door enters, a pebble road, at this time it is raining and snowing, the vision is blurred, and the palace appears dark and deep.

The eunuch and the guard in the corner were motionless, and when they arrived inside, there was a study, which was the location of Zheng Guogong

At this time, in the study, there is a light inside, and a person is working inside.

The study was surrounded by bookcases full of volumes, papers, and books.

Zheng Guogong is fifty years old, although he is sitting, he does have a bit of a dragon and tiger posture, and his spirit is compelling, and he is listening to a person kneeling and talking at this time.

"Xuzhou was pacified by the Chu army?" Hearing the report of the half-kneeling official in front of him, Zheng Guogong's face changed, revealing a solemn and deep expression.

The official in front of him is the official in charge of intelligence gathering affairs of Zheng Guogong, the princes of the world, who does not have such an institution?

There is no region where there is no lurking in the fine work of other places, but it is just the level of ability.

Like King Chu's thoughts, he was very concerned about Zheng Guogong of Liangzhou.

But what he never expected was that Chu Jun gave him a bigger "surprise"

Xuzhou was taken down by the Chu army so quickly, which shows that the king of Chu has indeed established a climate, and completely borders Yanzhou and Luoyang.

Zheng Guogong Liu Man rose up in Luoyang two years ago, launched a mutiny, killed 10,000 people, seized the entire Luoyang City, began to establish Zheng Guogong on his own, and collected 100,000 troops, but the water was very large, and after stabilization, he gradually eliminated the old and weak, trained into an army, and now has 50,000 soldiers.

But when attacking Yanzhou, Wang Hongyi went north to seize the Central Plains, and quickly captured the two states of Yuxu and Xu.

At this moment, this official only dared to bow his head, and he could feel the anger of the Lord when he lowered his head, and he only hoped that it would not harm him.

"Wang Hongyi, the king of Chu, is a strong rival to this Yu and Xu Erzhou, and they have been together for most of the year...... As a relevant officer, this is how you collect intelligence? You can't even figure out the strength of the Chu army, what use do you want?" Liu Man's face was gloomy and he drank coldly.

"Guogong, it is the minister's inability to ask Guogong to surrender"

Knowing that it was a rebuttal, it would only make the Lord more angry, and the official kneeling on the ground hurriedly and respectfully pleaded guilty.

Hearing what this person said, Zheng Guogong's face was cloudy, and he slowly eased down and returned to his previous faint expression.

"That's it, keep an eye on me, and if there is anything else, report it to me earlier, and there must be no mistakes. Liu Man glanced at the official and said.

"Nuo" heard Zheng Guogong's words, the official hurriedly responded, and said: "Guogong, the minister still has a matter, I want to report to the Guogong, it is about the King of Qin and Liangzhou." ”

"Speak. ”

"Lord, according to intelligence, the king of Qin once secretly sent people to infiltrate our land, and colluded with many big households, and the army was also mobilized...... "The official sent the king of Qin to Luoyang to make a detailed work, intending to attack Luoyang, and said that he heard it with Zheng Guogong.

After hearing this, Liu Man was not angry, a sneer appeared on his mouth, his face was not excited, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and he thought deeply, but his invisible hand trembled slightly, looking at the distance and being silent.

After a while, Liu Man said again: "Guo Wentong intends to take my Luoyang, this is something that everyone knows, but he was unexpectedly beaten into Liangzhou by the Hu people, it is really ridiculous that he has been caught?"

"The prince of the country, the minister has not startled the snake, but it is already under control. ”

"Hmph, you don't have to touch them yet, maybe ...... It can be of some use in the future. Zheng Guogong said casually, faintly discouraged.

Originally, there was no Wang Hongyi, the Hu people and the King of Qin would have fought a big war, so the fisherman would have benefited, and maybe he would be in a favorable situation, but now that Wang Hongyi has obtained Yuxu, he has completely solved his worries, hundreds of thousands of troops, where will the soldiers next year?

Thinking like this, Zheng Guogong only felt cold in his heart.

The "subordinate obeys" official received the order and immediately complied.

Zheng Guogong waved his hand and ordered him to retreat, and sat on the collapse by himself, thinking about things.

What Zheng Guogong didn't know was that while he was thinking about it, there was a person who was also thinking about him.

The Chu fleet escorted back to Jinling, and on the way, there was no incident.

Walking along the river by water, you can't see the inland scenery, standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the river bank in the distance, or cooking wine to watch the scenery, it is also an elegant thing.

The sailor who protects Wang Hongyi, he is an elite, familiar with the water, he has passed through life and death in the water battle, his loyalty has been tested many times, there is no problem, there is an escort, plus the guards are pro-army, Wang Hongyi is not worried about his own safety.

It's just that it's the winter moon, and the riverbank is not a good time to watch, Wang Hongyi has something in his heart, and he doesn't have much heart to watch, this day is sunny, Wang Hongyi is still in the small hall on the fifth floor of the cabin, holding a book and reading.

I saw Wang Hongyi wearing a brocade robe, a gold belt around his waist, wearing thick boots, sitting upright, reading in the sun, and his eyes were dark and bright.

Now Wang Hongyi, who has taken off his slightly youthful youth, has transformed into a mature man, the second-generation soul of his previous life.

From the eleventh year to the eighteenth year of the vertical, it will be nineteen years in a few days, of course, a new yuan will be established, these years of life and death tempering, and the cultivation of the upper position, so that he has an indescribable unique majesty and charm.

There are pros and cons in everything, and true youth has the mentality of youth, but as soon as he is reborn, he has to realize his unfulfilled wishes in his previous life.

Therefore, many are discarded.

But thinking of the past, a conversation with Wang Shoutian, Wang Hongyi tapped his fingers on his skull, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Instead of looking back at these useless things, it is better to think about the situation

On the table in front of Wang Hongyi, there is still a game of endgame, this world is a game of overall situation, the princes of the Quartet are chaotic chess players and chess pieces, the next game of good chess wins the world, and those who are eaten by others die.

Fingers picked up a piece, gently put it in one place, stopped halfway, and stopped.

Wang Hongyi narrowed his eyes and said to himself: "If you fall here, I'm afraid the situation will not change, right?" ”

Leave this son elsewhere, but his face is expressionless.

This game of chess is indeed not easy to play, whether it is a black or white chess opponent.

And the situation in the world as a metaphor for chess is many times more complicated than this game of chess

The time, the place, the people, the luck, the turnaround, many factors, change rapidly, as if to muddy the spring water, people are a little uncertain......

Looking at the chessboard in front of him for a while, Wang Hongyi disrupted the chess pieces, put them into the jar one by one, and put the chess pieces away, he sighed, turned out of the cabin, and stepped on the bow of the boat.

A gust of wind blew, and his somewhat sullen mind suddenly felt comfortable.

"It's almost here, right? There were guards saluting, Wang Hongyi asked.

"Your Majesty, you will be on shore in half an hour. The man bowed again and replied.

Wang Hongyi looked up at the sky, the weather that was originally sunny was cloudy again for some reason.

The weather is so changeable, and the situation in the world must not be relaxed a little, otherwise it may be the same as this weather, and it will change in an instant.

Now that the hinterland of the Central Plains is basically down, Zheng Guogong occupies Luoyang and most of Yanzhou, and he can go down in one fell swoop in the coming year.

Now the world, although it has not yet been unified, but in fact it has formed a pattern of two strong and one small, and Zheng Guogong can't even get on the stage, this is the general trend.

Thinking about it, the fleet has appeared on the river near the pier.

At this time, the dock area was heavily guarded, and a large number of officials who were qualified to welcome it were already in place.

The Yan official uniform is very complicated, there are sixteen kinds, and now it is about the same, but the color has been adjusted, and the Chu State has generally formed a complete system after several years.

Especially the imprint, the king uses a jade seal, the king, the queen mother, the queen mother, the queen, the small seal, and also uses jade.

Gonghou and above the third rank are sealed with gold, the fourth to sixth grades are sealed with silver, and the seventh to ninth grades are all copper seals.

These don't say much, I saw about fifty officials, and a large number of pro-army, a total of thousands, are waiting quietly, although simple, but the big silk is lined up, thirty dragons, in the middle of the royal chariot, this is with four white horses to pull the horse, showing dignity.

"Lord Yu, it's noon, why hasn't the king's boat arrived?" said an official looking at the river in the distance and a little anxious.

Others did not speak, but they were also a little anxious.

Yu Liangbo, who was standing among the officials, said unhurriedly: "This boat on the water, faster, slower, where is the estimation accurate? ”

Although it is just an ambiguous sentence, it is also reassuring, and when waiting, it is actually the hardest, but for the person who sails, it is meaningless.

Wang Hongyi stood on the armor of the boat, and when he approached the dock, he saw a group of people waiting, and the dragon flag could be seen clearly.

"Your Majesty, it's Lord Yu and the Ministry of Rites to greet you," someone said respectfully.

Wang Hongyi nodded, his eyesight was very good, since he also saw it, he thought that he had been outside for a long time, and he missed the people in the palace a little.

I don't know if the Queen Mother will be healthy after leaving these days, and what will the queen and prince be......

Thinking about it like this, I suddenly can't wait to go back, and it is not an exaggeration to use the phrase "return to the heart like an arrow".

Ashore, not far from Jinling.

Just take a carriage and walk a little way, you can see Jinling City, and just thinking about it, the big ship has docked.

Suddenly, the drums were playing, and the bells were clear in the singing.

The ministers looked down and saw that on the deck, a person looked like paint, with a smile on his mouth, wearing a crown of pearls on the king and wearing a crown robe, this is Wang Hongyi, who controls half of the world.

In an instant, the hundred officials and the pro-army all bowed down and saluted, like a tsunami in the mountains: "My king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

After the mountain shouted, the scene was silent.

Wang Hongyi smiled and said, "Zhongqing is flat." ”

"Thank you. After thanking him, Yu Liangbo stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the minister has prepared a carriage for you, this is not the place to speak, and please let the minister escort you back to the palace first. Yu Liangbo said directly after the scene.

Wang Hongyi has this intention, as for the matter of Xuzhou, they can come here to greet them, and they will receive the news of Xuzhou's victory.

"The matter of Xuzhou, you already know about it, let's discuss it tomorrow in the hall. With that, he got into the carriage.

This place is not a place to stay for a long time, everyone also has the heart to rush back early, everyone is on the car by car, on the horse, towards Jinling.

At this time, the already gloomy sky began to fall with snowflakes.
