The Meeting at Maling

In the next few days, everything was normal, training, eating, sleeping every day, and quietly taking a bath with Qing Xu Teng at night.

The foods I eat most are refined corn, wheat noodles, chicken and mutton, and a lot of eggs.

There is an elderly grandmother on the hillside behind the castle who raises chickens with her granddaughter, so there are eggs to eat at Linyin Castle every day.

When Tian Wang Jian wiped his sweat and rested under the old willow tree outside the school grounds, his spiritual consciousness overheard the report from the scouts on the tower. They had stopped advancing because they were about to enter the Heyin boundary. In order not to cause unnecessary disputes, the search was not carried out.

Just stop.

Wang Jian has also talked a lot with the soldiers in the castle these days, probably because of his past actions. Now even if he talks normally, the soldiers think he is amiable, which helps him. Many soldiers are willing to follow him out of curiosity.

He speaks.

But the one who talks the most is the old coach with white hair and beard. He often says that he is from Handan, which always attracts laughter.

An older soldier told Wang Jian in a low voice that the old instructor was picked up by the Marquis' father who passed away. He said that he was from Handan, but it was just to put money on his face. Many people laughed at the old instructor because of this.

Wang Jian himself liked to listen to the old coach telling stories. He would tell stories about the war with the Han Dynasty, and also talk about the battle with Lou Fanren.

Some of the soldiers would happily tell him about Lou Fan's glorious past many years ago when he was resting. Duyang Marquis gathered a heavy army to follow Shi Ligong's army and marched into the northwest, severely damaging Lou Fan's glorious past.

It was described vividly, and he pursued for eight hundred miles for eight days, beat Lou to the point of defeat, escaped, killed thousands of people, captured more than a thousand prisoners, etc.

Almost everyone in Linyinbao knows this, because it is the achievement of Marquis Duyang. Once the soldiers talk about these things, everyone's eyes will shine with honor and admiration, and they can talk to Wang Jian for a long time.

stop.

He had eggs, mutton, and chicken for lunch. Sometimes Wang Jian would share these things with one or two lucky soldiers around him to eat together. After a few days, he found that many soldiers were slowly surrounding him, and many of them were still

Those who used to secretly laugh at him and say bad things about him.

Wang Jian did not chase them away, thinking that he could control people if he could control resources.

He would leave an egg for the old instructor every day, and gradually the old instructor told him many past events, but what he said was different from what the soldiers said.

The old instructor said that there was sand everywhere in the northwest. Not long after they left Shicheng, they entered the desert and got lost. For six or seven days in a row, many people lost their way in the desert and killed several horses to satisfy their hunger. Finally, they were almost desperate.

While there, they discovered Lou's annoying camp and launched an attack.

Although they were talking about a great victory in the country, the old coach grinned and shook his head, saying that it was actually a camp in Lou Fanren. Most of the people they killed were old, weak, women and children, and only a few young and strong. But it was indeed a victory for Zhao Jun.

.

"It's not glorious." Wang Jian commented. After all, the era he lived in was much more civilized than today. Even though sometimes he reminded himself to accept reality, he still couldn't help but sigh when faced with many things.

The old coach said: "Young Master Victory has no glory." His figure was a little stooped: "To be honest, I will be annoying, young man. They have never fought with the Han army, and have not fought to the death with Lou Fanren in the desert.

Always fantasize about glorious victory."

The old coach's eyes were cloudy, and there seemed to be thousands of words hidden in them, but none of them were spoken out.

In the end, I just looked at the old willow tree in the school yard: "I'm like this old guy, I've reached the age where I like it when I need it, but I don't think it takes up space when I don't need it.

But whether you believe it or not, young master, the most despicable victory is better than the most glorious defeat. History cannot kill people, but swords can."

Wang Jian agreed with his statement: "You are right.

Can I ask you some questions about marksmanship?"

The old man was flattered and immediately said: "Of course, this is my honor, young master!"

In the next few days, Wang Jian learned that the old instructor's name was Jing Bo, because he was picked up by the well. He told many past events and war experiences in his life. Compared with his declining martial arts due to aging, those talents

This is what Wang Jian is curious about.

After these days of observation, Wang Jian also found that the formations trained by the soldiers were quite simple, which were basic square formations and circular formations.

The ten warlocks stationed in the fort would sometimes come to the school for training. Only then did he realize that the warlocks not only used spells to soften the ground like the "earth awakening technique" he had seen Liu Yu use that day, but also some offensive skills.

A very powerful spell. For example, it can make a two-step radius wooden thorn grow on the ground, which can pierce wooden piles, but it takes about a quarter of an hour to prepare.

The training of archery among soldiers is also very strict. The Han army is good at using crossbows, but the Zhao army is disdainful of this. They think it is a "crooked way" to save skills, but most people use short bows instead of big bows.

I learned this from Lou Fanren. It is very powerful on the ground and can also be used on horseback.

In the afternoon of the same day, a messenger came back from the east and returned to the fort from the tree-lined path behind the fort, bringing the king's decision.

Wang Jian heard the soldiers' report from afar, and the monarch was going to personally go to Maling City to coordinate the search for foreigners, so that Heyang, Heyin and their surrounding territories could cooperate and jointly deal with major affairs of foreigners.

Wang Jian sounded a little unbelievable about this matter. It was simply outrageous that the monarch needed to coordinate and coordinate matters between the two territories.

However, when I think about the system of Zhao State and the reality that the monarch has been ignored, it feels reasonable again.

First of all, the king of Zhao did not have a lot of prestige. Secondly, because of this, the king wanted to show himself and show his authority in this kind of matter.

In front of the dinner table in the evening, with the candles dimly lit, my father suddenly said: "The monarch has sent a messenger to discuss the affairs of foreigners in Maling City."

Wang Jian nodded while biting the chicken leg. He had known about it for a long time, so there was no surprise at all.

"I'm going to go there in person, and people from the Mu family will be there then."

Wang Jian raised his head: "This is too dangerous." He was not joking. Maling City is the territory of Maling Gong Mu Sheng. When you go to other people's territory to discuss things, there are too many tricks you can do, and the other party is Zhao Guoliu.

As a noble minister, if you really fall out, you will have less worries.

Not to mention such a negotiation, during the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many kings who were killed during the alliance meeting.

The father raised his head, slightly surprised that he could say something like this: "I will bring fifty guards, Wu Yi, and Uncle Gong there.

In addition, I have written to Shilicheng to request the Wu family's assistance. They will send people from the clan to accompany me.

The Wu family was also present, so they didn’t dare to do anything.”

Seeing his father full of confidence, Wang Jian still felt some worries in his heart. It was not because of the relationship between father and son, but because the cheap father in front of him was his biggest supporter. It was hard to imagine what would happen to him in the future if his father never came back.

.

"Dad, I'll go with you." Wang Jian said. He made a difficult decision. He was ready to protect his father. Although there was not much difference between him and him in terms of combat power, his consciousness could feel hundreds of people in a radius.

You can detect dangers in advance if you notice any changes in your steps.

"No!" Dad refused without thinking.

Wang Jian understood his concerns. His father dared to go like this even though he knew there might be danger. Part of the reason was that his heir stayed in the territory.

"Dad, didn't you ask me to learn more and see more? Now the king and many important people in the country are in Maling. Isn't this a great opportunity? Besides, there are people from the Wu family here too, so what danger can there be?" Wang Jian persuaded.

"If one day I want to inherit the title and territory but still don't know anything or understand anything, it will be too late to learn any more. I have no chance and no time." He continued.

This reason really made Dad a little shaken. He didn't speak for a while. The chicken on the table was steaming with mist. He held the egg with two fingers in his hand and tapped it on the table. After a while, he said, "Okay, but everything needs to be done."

Follow my arrangements."

Wang Jian nodded: "Of course."

The next day, Dad sent a messenger to bring back the two commanders Wu Yi and Uncle Gong who were stationed outside. He also summoned three warlocks in the morning. It seemed that Dad not only had to bring his personal guards and two commanders with him for this trip.

The soldier master is also planning to bring three warlocks with him, probably because he is going with him, and the security level has been significantly strengthened.
