Chapter 291 Liangzhou Relaxation (Part 2)

Chang'an

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

The bright red sun hangs high in the air, and there are no clouds in the blue sky. Occasionally, a breeze blows by, bringing the breath of grass.

Although Guanzhong is now a poor land due to soil erosion, Chang'an has always been a big city, and the economy in the city is still acceptable. Most of the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are constant pedestrians on the streets.

People who know the situation in Chang'an know that if the trade route is cut off and there is no supply, it will gradually become sluggish soon.

Several streets near the inner city, with high-gate and wealthy families, look grand and magnificent buildings, but they are just empty frames that support the storefront. The family is more refined than the monkey. The family's foundation will never be invested in one place. It would be fine if the situation in Guanzhong is still stable, but if there is really a situation, then in less than half a month, the entire Chang'an business will go to ***.

However, the King of Qin has always been in charge of Chang'an, and his methods are great, which has helped some people to gradually dissipate their hearts.

"Get out of the way! Go out of the way..."

In the afternoon, fewer pedestrians on the streets were patrolling by another team of cavalry in black armor. Each of them held long spears and were sharp and cold. The faces of these black armored cavalry were also tense, and they looked around with expressionless faces.

Seeing this, the people on the street quickly retreated aside, seeing the cavalry passing by, with envy and fear on their faces.

"The black armored cavalry is really mighty!"

"No, I heard that these black-armored cavalry were selected from a hundred miles away, and they were all the king's personal soldiers!"

"But it's strange. In the past, the Black Armored Cavalry only patrolled once a day, and most of the time the city guards patrolled the streets. Why did the Black Armored Cavalry appear so frequently this month?"

"You often boast that there is a way, and you haven't even heard of the matter of raising a military force soon?"

"Is this actually happening?"

When it comes to military affairs, he was already worried about watching the lively people, and his face was filled with panic.

Which people are willing to fight again and be displaced?

Even if it does not endanger one's own safety, the rise in prices will bring huge losses and burdens to the people.

But what else can this people do besides sighing when they hear it?

The black-armored cavalry that brought up this topic had arrived at the outer periphery of the inner city and was patrolling the streets.

Suddenly, I saw a horse coming from a distance. Looking at the movements, it was a little different from ordinary people.

The leader of the black armored cavalry immediately shouted coldly: "Stop!"

The rider knew the power of the Black Armored Cavalry, so he stopped the horse and stopped.

"I am a member of the intelligence guard. If you have something important, you should report to the king. This is my waist card!" As he said that, he threw a waist card over.

The leader Black Armored Army caught it with one hand and looked through it. Seeing that it was not a fake, he threw the thing back.

"Go over."

"Thank you." He bowed and then rode away.

"Boss, the king's intelligence guards have frequently come and go in the past few days, depending on the situation, there is something big." A black-armored army looked at the man away and whispered.

The head of the Black Armored Army officer looked at him and said, "This matter cannot be criticized by you and I. Let's continue to patrol!"

"promise!"

He did not see the figure heading towards the inner city again. The leader of the Black Armor Army led his subordinates to continue patrolling the city.

In the eyes of outsiders, these black armored troops were the personal troops of the King of Qin, but in fact, these personal troops were divided into different levels.

They are the outermost layer of the personal army, and although the king's intelligence guard who just passed by is not more trustworthy than them, they are more exposed to it.

The Black Armored Army was just patrolling the city, while the intelligence guards could bring urgent news to the King of Qin at any time, and even asked for the King directly to meet him. In order not to cause trouble for themselves, when they encountered such people, they mostly ignored them and let them go according to the system.

At the same time, the personal guard who was heading towards the inner city gate finally entered the inner city after encountering several more checkpoints.

The Qin King Palace was built in the center of the inner city. At this time, King Guo Wentong of Qin had just finished handling a batch of affairs and was a little tired. He came to the side hall and lay on the soft collapse. Several palace servants gently beat their legs and shoulders.

There were also palace people who carefully peeled fruits, scallions, white jade hands, and put them into Guo Wentong's mouth one by one. The palace was filled with a relaxing fragrance, and it was very quiet, and Guo Wentong was even a little drowsy.

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps came from outside, and an eunuch walked in from outside.

"Is the king sleeping? I have something important to report." The eunuch who came in had a round face, white and clean, with curved eyebrows and eyes. When he looked over, he couldn't help feeling comfortable. He felt a sense of harmony. He was wearing the eunuch's consort and his voice was low, as if he was afraid of disturbing the king's car, so he dared not do anything wrong.

"You are here? What's the matter?" Guo Wentong slowly opened his eyes, looked at the eunuch in front of him, and asked faintly.

Seeing Guo Wentong ask, the eunuch quickly replied: "King, the King of the Spy Guard and asked for a meeting just now, let me come in and report..."

"Oh? Wang He is here? Help the lonely guy." Guo Wentong said this to the people on both sides.

The eunuch also hurriedly walked forward, carefully helped Guo Wentong up with the palace servants, put on his shoes and socks, and stood aside.

"Come in." After standing up and moving on the ground for a few times, Guo Wentong felt that his fatigue had finally dissipated most of his body and his body became much more comfortable, so he walked towards the seat next to him and said.

The eunuch responded and went out to call people.

Guo Wen leaned on the back of the chair and ordered the palace servants to bring him a cup of fragrant tea.

The palace servants were prepared for a long time and brought the fragrant tea up in a short while.

Sitting high, holding the exquisite cup in his hand, Guo Wentong pursed it. At the same time, he was thinking about what Wang He would be doing to enter the palace this time.

At the beginning, he sent out several people including Wang He to assist in obtaining intelligence. He was not a person who did not trust the intelligence guards. However, no one in this palace could let anyone go as soon as they wanted to enter. He let a few confidant guards outside, and if they encounter any urgent matters, it would be convenient to enter and exit.

However, usually, the information received on that day is sorted out and handed over to the agency responsible for the matter, and then delivered by the officials.

When encountering emergency information, the personal guards sent by the King of Qin will personally send them to the palace with the information.

Wang He must have something important to enter the palace this time.

As I was thinking, the sound of footsteps came again.

The eunuch and Wang He walked in from outside one after another. As soon as they came in, the eunuch retreated to the distance.

Wang He walked to Guo Wentong and stopped a few meters away.

"My minister Wang He, I have seen the king." Wang He, who looks very ordinary, is quite good in terms of etiquette and tall and slender. He looks like a man who has been through the battlefield for a long time. He has a cold temperament and speaks clearly. He falls to the ground with agility and bows respectfully upwards.

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

"Thank you, King." After the king and thanked him, they stood up very quickly.

Guo Wentong looked at him, then looked around and waved his hand. Except for an eunuch, all the palace servants retreated. Then he sat there and asked lightly: "What news has you been in the palace this time?"

"Back to the king, that's right!" Wang He handed over the information he had just received from Liangzhou.

The eunuch took it, checked it, and handed it over to Guo Wentong.

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

News came from Liangzhou that the Hu people's attack had subsided and they retreated to the second city it had originally occupied.

After reading the information in his hand again, Guo Wentong thought silently.

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

When he arrived at Guo Wentong's position, it was clear what the Hu people meant to do.

"It turns out that the Hu people can't pull out their hands, so they can't have a decisive effect!"

The Hu people were in peace, but they were not stable. In the continuous war last year, the soldiers and horses were very tired, and they were unable to move south through Yiqing and the two states.

Therefore, the strategy for Liangzhou has been suspended, and I hope I can stab myself in Luoyang.

Understanding this intention, Guo Wentong was thinking about the impact on him.

On the good side, you can take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and draw troops to look at Luoyang.

In the worst case, you will just take the chestnut from the fire, and you will lose the big money if you are not careful.

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

However, the Chang'an where he lives is not the ideal capital.

Chang'an is located in the Guanzhong Plain, south of the Wei River and north of the Qinling Mountains, surrounded by mountains. It has a great advantage in war. However, with a large population in this capital, grain and materials are transported by trade routes. It is not enough to maintain it by self-sufficiency alone. The Guanzhong boundary where Chang'an is located is poor due to soil erosion, and there are not many people who can support it. In this case, how could Guo Wentong not be moved?

It was he who wanted to stay here and set a natural defense line for Wang Hongyi's southern country, and that Wang Hongyi and the Hu people would let him go! Once these two people decide a victory or defeat, the last side will not stop, and they will definitely swallow the power he has to defeat the world!

Guo Wentong is a hero and is unwilling to sit and wait for death, so he can only wait for an opportunity to move!

Maybe... this time the Hu people's actions are an opportunity for him?

Thinking of this, Guo Wentong pondered: "Liangzhou continues to send people to stare, as for Luoyang..."

A hint of desire flashed in his eyes. If he got Luoyang, the embarrassing situation today would be alleviated.

When he thought of his actions over the past few years, Wang Hongyi's plan, Guo Wentong's heart was slowly burning.

After a moment, he made up his mind.

A real man cannot enjoy the nine cauldrons, just cook the five cauldrons!
