Daliang, the capital of Wei, is located on the south bank of the Yellow River. It is where Luoshui, Suishui, Danshui, and Honggou rivers gather. The Wei people also dug two artificial river protections, Dagonggou and Lianggou, to protect Daliang.
The natural barrier made this great capital even easier to defend and difficult to attack, as stable as Mount Tai. Wei was located in the center of the Central Plains at that time, bordering Zhao to the north, Han and Qin to the west, Qi to the east, and Chu to the south. It was the transportation hub of the world. Daliang is
This strategic town is located in the middle of the Wei State, and it tightly controls the water and land transportation. If you want to attack the other five countries, it will be more difficult if you don't capture the Wei State first. If you want to conquer the Wei State, Daliang is a battleground. Here,
This shows the importance of this capital of Wei State.
Xiang Shaolong and others rested in Fengqiu for three days. Under the escort of two thousand troops and horses from Guan, they crossed the Yellow River. After walking for fifteen days, the beam was in sight. Xiang Shaolong walked in a relaxed mood, as if he had participated in an ancient
As part of a tour group, he revisited the "Old Land". In his reverie, he thought about the countless cities scattered across this vast land. Each city had built tall and solid walls and wide moats outside the city.
Every city is a center of fighting and a huge military facility. All the excitement of this era unfolded inside and outside such strongholds, centered on the destruction and defense of the city. The preservation or fall of a city marks the national
The fate and success or failure of the city. This kind of struggle for hegemony, which mainly focuses on urban offensive and defensive warfare, is simple and direct. From a certain perspective, it actually has its extremely moving charm. For the monarchs of the Warring States Period, it was like playing a game of chess, and they were obsessed with it.
They couldn't stop, so they had to compete with each other to see who could defeat whom in the end.
Within these closed city walls are large and small political, economic and military centers, the most important command center of the surrounding land, and the symbol of the local political power. Capturing these cities is equivalent to destroying the other party's political power. In this regard
The significance of this is self-evident. After Guan's army sent them ten miles north of Dagou, they returned to Fengqiu and transferred the task of escorting them to the garrison outside Daliang. At this time, the vanguard troops welcomed by Lord Xinling also
They had arrived and led them across the ditch via the suspension bridge. Wei Wuji, Lord of Xinling, had already lined up at the other end to solemnly welcome this disaster-ridden wedding group.
Wei Wuji, one of the Four Young Masters of the Warring States Period, was dressed in casual clothes and rode up. He had big ears, a handsome appearance, and a tall figure. He had a majestic and noble temperament. Although he had a friendly smile, his eyes were shining and looking for authority.
Although he is Mrs. Pingyuan's younger brother, he looks a few years older than Sister Nai. I wonder if he is a little older due to being under pressure for a long time. After some pleasantries, everyone headed towards Daliang City.
Daliang City has a variety of features. The city walls are connected, and the surrounding moats are wide and irregular in shape. The rivers are curved according to the terrain. With the south gate as the front, all the city gates have protruding gates and protections, which greatly enhances the protection of the city gates.
The defensive force was majestic and weak. When there were still about five miles to the north of the city gate, the dust was flying in front. A general arrived with the order of the King of Wei, announcing that except for Xiang Shaolong, Zhao Qian and other female family members, the rest of the people must stay in the city.
Outside the camp, Mrs. Pingyuan, mother, son and family generals are naturally not limited to this. Of course Xiang Shaolong and others were surprised and bored. Lord Xinling also showed a displeased look on his face, but since the king's order is given, unless he is determined to violate it or immediately rebel, otherwise
He had no choice but to accept this humiliating arrangement. After Xiang Shaolong gave Cheng Xu and Wu Zhuo a few instructions, he followed Lord Xinling into Daliang.
Compared with Handan, Daliang has a different appearance. It lacks the ancient grandeur of Zhao State, but is more beautiful and delicate. The decoration is more colorful. The streets in the city are divided into eight parallel streets running from north to south, and east and west.
It is composed of four main streets that intersect with each other. These twelve streets can accommodate more than ten horses walking side by side, which is very large. Other small streets and lanes are arranged in an orderly manner according to these main streets. The guards clear the way.
Next, the brigade passed through the streets lined with official offices outside the palace, then bypassed the high walls of the palace city and arrived at the northeast corner where the noble ministers lived.
It was lively and peaceful along the way. There were twice as many pedestrians on the street as in Handan. When they saw Lord Xinling's flag, they all showed respect. Some people even knelt down to worship, which showed Lord Xinling's prestige in the hearts of the people of Wei.
Your mansion stands majestically at the end of the road, with towering trees inside the high walls, which further highlights Lord Xinling's unique status. Xiang Shaolong and Zhao Qian are separated. They each live in different courtyards.
Lord Ling greeted Xiang Shaolong attentively and sent four charming maids to wait on him personally. After washing himself, he immediately met Xiang Shaolong in the studio. After all the maids left, Lord Xinling entertained him for a meal and toasted to each other.
, Lord Xinling said: "Shaolong, you are indeed extraordinary. You can defeat thousands of thieves with just 800 people. No wonder you can rise up so quickly in the Zhao Kingdom." Xiang Shaolong knew that this was just a prelude, so he hurriedly
Humility.
After Lord Xinling raised his glass and meditated for a while, he smiled faintly and said: "Everyone has seen that the battle of Changping made the Zhao country from strong to weak, but few people have seen that the Qin people also suffered heavy casualties in this battle, otherwise I
How could you defeat the Qin army at the gates of Handan six years ago, and then the next year, your country's success and Qinghe, together with the allied forces of Han, Chu and our country, defeated the Qin people in Ningxin." Xiang Shaolong didn't know why.
When talking about these things, he bit the bullet and flattered him and said, "It is all thanks to your Majesty's decisiveness, wisdom, and ability to lead the army that the Qin people suffered the most painful defeat since Shang Yang's reform." Lord Xinling smiled proudly and said, "Qin
King Zhao was narrow-minded, and a famous general like Bai Qi actually forced him to death out of a whim. Fan Sui resigned as prime minister four years ago, which greatly weakened Qin's power. Tao County was captured by our country. If my guess is correct,
The people of Qin will not be able to recover their strength within twenty years."
Xiang Shaolong was stunned in his heart, secretly thinking that Lord Xinling was indeed a great man of his generation, because according to his knowledge from history, it was indeed more than twenty years after Qin destroyed the six kingdoms. Lord Xinling poured the wine himself and drank it.
After drinking a cup, he said leisurely: "Now that Lu Buwei has killed King Xiaowen and put a stranger on the throne, the whole world is worried. Because they know that Lu Buwei is powerful, but I hold another view. Based on the Qin people's attitude toward outsiders,
How can Lu Buwei be allowed to control the government due to suspicion, so the internal affairs will fall into fragmentation, which will further weaken their great cause of the Eastern Expedition." Xiang Shaolong sincerely praised: "No wonder your Majesty is so popular among the people in the world, it is indeed a insightful insight." He said.
Naturally, he knew that Lu Buwei would later be executed by the Qin Shihuang family, so he particularly admired Lord Xinling's foresight. Among the four princes of the Warring States Period, he and Lord Mengchang were the most important. It can be seen that despite the great reputation, there are indeed no empty men.
Thinking of the people of Zhao who were frightened when they heard that Lu Buwei had gained power, it further showed the foresight of Lord Xinling. Lord Xinling's eyes were shining, and he sighed far away: "If Shaolong wants to unite the three Jins,
This is the time." In fact, Xiang Shaolong is also very interested in this idea. Who dares to guarantee that history cannot be changed. At least the current Qin Shihuang is just a cripple, completely different from the wise and powerful man in history. He
Since we have to deal with Zhao Mu, we naturally have to rely on the power of Lord Xinling. Thinking of this, my heart is beating wildly with anxiety. What kind of person Lord Xinling is, you can know his heart by looking at his appearance, so he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Sister
You are indeed right, Xiang Shaolong is indeed a courageous and knowledgeable person." Then he said in a deep voice: "Shaolong, do you know that you are in a dilemma?" Xiang Shaolong nodded to express his understanding.
Unexpectedly, Lord Xinling shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't really know, tell me if you know who is Gray Hu's confidant?" Xiang Shaolong was stunned and said: "Isn't Gray Hu taking orders from your king?" Lord Xinling
He said: "How dare you, a coward like An, get involved in something that offends the public? These secret evil things were all done by An's favorite Lord Long Yang. According to the secret report: Lord Long Yang hates you now.
I am deeply moved to the bone, so I forced you to order not to allow your family members to enter the city, so that you would be isolated and helpless. If I hadn't protected you, Shaolong would have died long ago without a burial place." Xiang Shaolong felt numb and amused at the same time.
It is also unusual to meet Long Yangjun, who has been passed down through the ages and has long become a proper noun for homosexuals. It goes without saying that the relationships between An □ and Long Yangjun, and between King Zhao Xiaocheng and Zhao Mu are similar. It can be seen that the relationship between them is similar.
The royal family and aristocrats of the era were in the extreme contradiction of enjoying extreme luxury and precarious life, and their psychology became abnormal. Lord Xinling said: "Longyang Lord is ranked among the three greatest swordsmen in the Wei Kingdom.
He is shrewd and cunning, and will never be easy to deal with." Xiang Shaolong sighed and said: "I can't make progress, but why can't I even retreat?" After Lord Xinling looked at him intently for a while, he said calmly: "Because
If you return to Zhao like this, Zhao Mu will definitely kill you."
Xiang Shaolong remembered that Mrs. Pingyuan once said that King Zhao had taken a fancy to him. If so, Lord Xinling said it was not a threat. He sighed and said: "To be honest, I was ordered to come to Wei this time, and I really have some intentions."
The secret order is to steal the "Secret Records of Lu Gong." He knew that Lord Xinling had already known about this, so he told him first to win his trust. Sure enough, Lord Xinling laughed loudly and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
He said: "It's only now that I believe that you have the intention to surrender. Assuming that you can do good things for me, I guarantee that you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life." Then he lowered his voice and said: "This guy An is in Longyang.
With your instigation, we are now preparing to destroy Zhao, so even though Gray Hu has nothing to do with him, he will never let someone like you go back. As for Zhao Qian, not only will she not be able to become the concubine, her fate will also be very terrible.
It's miserable." Xiang Shaolong felt helpless and asked, "Then what should we do now?" Lord Xinling smiled and said, "Control others first, then control others. Does Shaolong understand this principle?"
Xiang Shaolong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He finally understood that Lord Xinling had spent so much money and still wanted to carry out the plan that Mrs. Pingyuan and Lord Shaoyuan secretly discussed to assassinate King An. However, he knew that he was just a pawn. He was angry.
He was so resentful that he almost slapped himself twice. How stupid and naive he was to believe that Mrs. Pingyuan, a poisonous woman, really fell in love with him. Mrs. Pingyuan was really powerful. She deliberately showed her dissatisfaction with Mr. Shao Yuan and coaxed him to say that she would do it for him.
Give birth to a child and teach him to be intoxicated. If he hadn't heard the conversation between mother and son that night, he would have died without knowing what was going on. This vicious woman used a step-by-step approach, sacrificing her appearance to lure him in, and she continued to flatter him.
His purpose in currying favor with him was to use his courage, intelligence, swordsmanship, and identity to kill the King of Wei for them, and then blame him and the Zhao people for the crime, so that he could stay out of the matter completely. Such a series of vicious schemes really made people's hearts tremble.
In order not to arouse the other party's suspicions, he pretended to be full of enthusiasm and said proudly: "If there is any use for me, Xiang Shaolong, I will take care of your orders and go through fire and water without hesitation." Lord Xinling said happily: "I have you here.
In other words, there is no need to worry about the big thing not working out." Then he said sternly: "I have already made a plan in my heart, but it's not time to tell you yet. You can enjoy yourself these days. There are so many beauties in my house. You love that waiter.
Anything is fine." Xiang Shaolong's heart moved, and he took the opportunity to test him and said, "I am satisfied with Mrs. Ya." The anger and jealousy in Lord Xinling's eyes flashed away, and he replaced it with a kind smile and said, "You really know how to choose.
"Zhao Yamei is so extraordinary that she is indeed a gift from a man's private room. Enjoy it to your heart's content." Then he added: "You should have a good rest tonight and let me arrange some programs for you tomorrow to ensure that your trip is worthwhile."
After Xiang Shaolong left the lobby, he walked towards the elegant house where Zhao Ya and others lived. He knew in his heart that in order to gain his trust, Lord Xinling would never restrict his activities in the palace, nor would he send anyone to secretly monitor him. Entering
In the garden, I suddenly thought of the quiet little valley of Meicanniang. If I could live in that place without fighting with the world, wouldn't I be free from all the troubles I have now? Vanity and ambition are really harmful. Xiang Shaolong's mood suddenly changed.
I felt depressed and became very tired of everything around me. Especially when I thought of Mrs. Pingyuan, my heart felt even more painful due to being deceived and hurt. After passing a row of whirling old trees, Zhao Ya and other sojourners "Feiyun"
"Pavilion" appears in front of us. There are lighting lanterns hanging on the pillars and under the eaves. Under the lights, we can see the double eaves of the roof flying. The top is decorated with kissing animals and tiled hooks dripping water. It is colorful and elegant.
Luxurious. The carvings and paint on the door are very exquisite, and the windows all have deep curtains, revealing a soft and hazy light.
Xiang Shaolong was at a loss for a while, and Dasheng felt that dream-like feeling in a strange time and space, and it came back to him. Alas, it was just a dream. Even in the worst environment of Zhao country, he had never been as depressed as he is now.
Just as Lord Xinling said, even if he could escape from Wei, he would still be dead if he went back unless he could get the "Secret Records of Duke Lu" in his hands. However, the chasing team at that time would definitely include Lord Xinling Zhai.
Man. This Lord Xinling is probably more difficult to deal with than King Wei, otherwise the people of Qin would not have suffered heavy losses under his hands. If he were really allowed to unify the three Jin Dynasties, maybe he could really replace Qin Shihuang and become the overlord of the world. History really can
Been changed?
Xiang Shaolong lay slumped on Mrs. Ya's beautiful couch. Zhao Ya sat down on the edge of the bed, stretched out her hand to touch his cheek, and said in panic: "Mr. Xiang, what kind of blow have you suffered? Why is your face so ugly?" Xiang Shaolong asked her
He hugged her on the bed, buried him in her breasts, sighed and said: "If "Lu Gong's Secret Record" falls into my hands now, I will immediately take you to sneak out of the beam and fly away." Zhao Ya has a delicate body and a light body.
He trembled and said: "Shaolong, please cheer up, okay? Seeing you like this makes my heart hurt." Then she leaned into his ear and said softly: "King Chengxu and others are not allowed to enter the city, and it has nothing to do with King An.
"Xiang Shaolong raised his head in astonishment, looked at her and said, "How did you know?" Mrs. Ya pursed her lips and smiled, and said with a smug look on her face: "So don't think that we have no power to resist, our Zhao Kingdom is everywhere
Jun Guang has wired his eyes, and there are even people of mine in Lord Xinling's mansion." Then he said with a cold light in his pretty eyes: "This matter must be related to Lord Xinling, and I deliberately made you feel isolated and helpless, and gave rise to a feeling of crisis, so I only
Let their sisters and brothers manipulate you."
Xiang Shaolong became energetic, sat up, and said with bright eyes, "Have you found out where the "Secret Records of Lu Gong" is hidden?" Mrs. Ya glared at him angrily and said, "Suppose you knew someone was coming.
Would you let anyone know about stealing your things?" Then he stood up, took out a scroll from the cloth bag, and spread it out on the bed. It turned out to be a bird's-eye view of Xinling Lord's Mansion. Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed.
She asked, "Where can such good things come from?" Mrs. Ya smiled coquettishly and said, "Don't forget what kind of business I am in. If you can't even get such treasures, how can you steal more important things?" Mr. Xiang said.
Long thought of something and said doubtfully: "If there really is "Lu Gong's Secret Record", why didn't Lord Xinling use it to make it according to the drawing? Why do you still keep it in the palace?"
Mrs. Ya said calmly: "This involves the struggle between Lord Xinling and King Wei. Lord Xinling will not take out the secret records until he sits on the throne for a day, so the secret records must be hidden in a secret place in the palace." Mr. Xiang.
Long sighed: "I'm afraid that before I found the secret record, I would have been killed by the traitor Mr. Xinling." Madam Ya suddenly stretched out her delicate and white jade hands and covered his mouth. The smooth and soft feeling spread like an electric current.
Xiang Shaolong felt deep in his heart. He only heard her yell: "Don't say unlucky words, okay?" Xiang Shaolong smelled her body fragrance and felt better. He carefully looked at the scrolls spread out on the bed and memorized them silently.
He has received strict training in this area and has his own way of memorizing the locations of all the houses.
Seeing that he had regained his confidence and calmness, Madam Ya was more than happy to explain the situation in the house to him. Xiang Shaolong finally recovered from his disappointment and said, "Do you have any way to contact Wu Zhuo and the others?" Madam Ya said proudly: "So
Just leave it to me to handle the simple matter." Xiang Shaolong pondered for a while and said, "You want Wu Zhuo to try to build a tunnel leading to other places in the camp. If there is an incident, maybe it can save lives?" Mrs. Ya
She changed her expression and said: "The situation is not that serious? We are the representatives of King Zhao after all." Xiang Shaolong interrupted her and said: "If you knew that King Wei had the intention to attack Zhao, you wouldn't have said this. This time we are really
You came here by mistake." He said and walked out of bed.
Mrs. Ya pulled him and asked, "Aren't you going to accompany me?" Xiang Shaolong said, "Mr. Xinling will force me to assassinate King Wei at any time. Time is running out. I must find out the secret of "Lu Gong's Secret Records" as soon as possible.
"Where." Madam Ya was startled and said: "Wei Wuji's residence is guarded by vicious dogs. If you break in, he will definitely be alerted." Xiang Shaolong smiled and said, "You are an expert in stealing things, so naturally you have the ability to deal with vicious dogs.
method."
Mrs. Ya rolled her eyes at him, then took out a small bottle from her bag and handed it to him: "As long as you put some of these powders on your body, the vicious dogs will avoid you. But there are not only vicious dogs but also guards there. Alas,
Knowing you are taking risks like this, how can I sleep tonight?" Xiang Shaolong took the bottle, hugged her, kissed her and said: "You take off your clothes and wait in bed, I guarantee that no one can see my shadow."
