Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 503 Procrastination
The emperor asked people to lift the ship model, returned to the greenhouse hall, and called for the work examination order.

Hearing the work order, he was dumbfounded. "Your Majesty, I can make a similar model. I can't make a model with interchangeable parts. This is not a big ship. Some errors can be repaired. Such a small part, With a slip of the hand..."

Tianzi blinked, feeling reasonable.He scratched his head, momentarily lost in thought.

"Is there really no way to make it?"

"I can't do it." The examiner refused this time without any hesitation.He would rather not do this job examination order than accept this task.If the emperor gets angry at that time, he can't afford to make him bear the loss of this thousand pieces of gold.

The emperor was very angry when he saw that Kaogongling answered so frankly. "Is Liang Xiao really irreplaceable?"

The test worker was silent, and Wuqiu Shouwang and others beside him were silent.They can still say a few words about other things, but no one dares to intervene in this matter.The ship model is right in front of you, this is an impossible task at all, whoever asks, this task will fall on his head.If it is completed, it is certainly a great achievement, but if it cannot be completed, the emperor will lose face and the consequences will be disastrous.

The emperor looked at the people with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and an unspeakable anger arose in his heart, as well as a sense of frustration of being humiliated.Liu Ling made this bet because he wanted him to recognize Liang Xiao's ability, and it was frustrating that he had no power to fight back, but it was even more obvious that he had no eyesight and no dignity when he ignored a unparalleled talent.

Liu Ling challenged him face to face and humiliated him.

The emperor's eyebrows trembled, and there was a bit of hostility in his eyes. "A reward of a thousand gold is offered. With a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. I don't believe that I can't find one or two skilled craftsmen."

King Wuqiu Shou and the others remained silent.Seeing that there was no response, the Son of Heaven turned around and glanced at them, and finally his eyes fell on the face of the examination order, his eyes shrunk slightly, vicious like a wolf.The job examination order shuddered, and quickly bowed to agree, but his voice was a little trembling, without any confidence.

The emperor became more angry, turned around and said, "Where are Han Anguo and Wang Hui?"

Yan An hurriedly took a step forward: "Han Anguo has already arrived in Kuaiji, and Wang Hui has also entered Yuzhang. According to the time calculation, he should have reached Dayuling by now."

"Send an edict to let them speed up."

"only!"

"Without building ships, I can still attack Nanyue." The emperor squinted at the ship model on the table, and walked away.

The master's father Yan frowned, and remained silent, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

-

Liu Ling sat in front of the bright glazed window, his expression was calm, and he could not see even a trace of anxiety.

The master's father knelt and sat opposite her, frowning.He stared into Liu Ling's eyes, anxiously waiting for Liu Ling's reply.

"Thank you, Master, for the news." Liu Ling raised his head and smiled slightly. "However, in troubled times, it is too risky for the master to do this. If there is anything going on in the future, just let someone notify you, and you don't have to go there yourself."

The master father Yan bowed slightly. "Master Weng cares, and Yan is very grateful. However, this matter is of great importance, and Yan's heart will not be at ease if he doesn't go there in person. Lord Weng, Yan is stupid, and I really can't understand it, so I ask Lord Weng to give me some advice."

Liu Ling sized up Master Yan with a look, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. "Master, father, do you think Han Anguo and Wang Hui can win South Vietnam this time?"

The master father shook his head. "The preparations were too hasty, and there is no certainty. Yan An pinned his hopes on Zhao Hu's support, which is really risky. Once Nanyue finds out that the imperial court intends to annex them and send heavy troops to guard Hengpu Pass, our army will not be able to advance or retreat. It is very likely to repeat the mistakes of the Qin army."

"Since that's the case, what's there to worry about?" Liu Ling raised his hand, signaling Master Yan not to worry. "Although the Son of Heaven has a desire to win, he is not a reckless person. Before taking all of Nanyue, he will definitely not break his face. After all, for him, merit is a big deal, and although my husband is a little arrogant, he has no disobedience. Which is more important, the emperor knows how to choose."

The master father Yan was relieved. "Since Lord Weng is so confident, I can rest assured." He smiled, and said, "Actually, if the champion marquis made such a move, Yan would not find it strange. Lord Weng has profound family knowledge and is still clumsy." The Dao of Baopu suddenly showed its sharpness and aggressiveness, which is really unexpected. From this point of view, it seems that Yancaring is chaotic."

Liu Ling bowed and thanked him.The master's father came out of the door, and Liu Ling stopped him after walking him to the door.When the master's father disappeared outside the door, the smile on Liu Ling's face disappeared, and a thick cloud of sadness shrouded his brows.With her back propped up, she walked slowly to sit on the teacher's chair by the window, leaned on the back, raised her head, and showed a tired smile.

Alpha and two personal maids rushed over, worried. "My lord."

"It's okay, I'll just rest for a while." Liu Ling waved his hands, opened his eyes, looked at Alpha, and forced a smile: "Did he also be so reckless when he was in the Western Regions?"

Alpha rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Master has never been reckless. He dared to do this, probably because he believed that Madam could clear the way for him, so he let go."

Liu Ling was slightly startled, then smiled again. "You're lying to me again."

"How dare I lie to Madam." Alpha said: "Madam should know that I am Princess Pearl's maid, and I grew up in Dawan. We Dawan girls have always been straightforward, we can say whatever is on our mind, and we will not lie."

Liu Ling held his chin and was silent for a moment. "Is your Princess Pearl the same?"

"Of course. My princess appreciates the master, so she speaks bluntly. It's just that the master said that he already has the Lord Weng in his heart and can't tolerate other people. At that time, we all thought that the master was too pedantic. Now it seems that he really has vision. The Lord Weng's Wisdom is rare in the world."

Liu Ling's bright eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth were raised with pride.

Outside the door, the master's father got into the car, his eyes swept away, and he saw a brocade box in the corner, he couldn't help but twist his mouth.He opened the brocade box, opening a gap, revealing a row of bright yellow gold.Judging from the size of the brocade box, even if there is no hundred gold, there are at least seventy or eighty gold.

The master father Yan closed the brocade box with satisfaction.Liu Ling's generosity made his trip worthwhile.

-

At Hengpu Pass, Liang Xiao stood by the pass, looking at the winding mountains and the plum trees all over the mountains and plains in the distance, he secretly laughed.

The emperor was dazzled by the victory, and Yan An was also blinded by his achievements. Just relying on Zhao Hu's heart to the court, he wanted to cooperate internally and externally to take down Nanyue?
This is too childish.

That's right, in history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took Nanyue in the end, but that was when Lu Jia killed the king of Nanyue and the civil strife in Nanyue.Even so, the five-way army, more than 6 people, was still mobilized. After more than two years of hard work, South Vietnam was truly pacified.Now there are only some differences within South Vietnam, and there is no major conflict. The emperor has only arranged two groups of troops, but only [-] or [-] people.

Don't you just want to borrow a knife to kill someone?I am so stupid, you dig a hole for me to jump, and I will jump?

From the moment he decided to kill Han Yan, no, to be precise, from the moment he knew that the emperor sent Han Yan to Yuzhang to ask him about Wei Qing's military achievements, Liang Xiao knew that the conflict between him and the emperor would be difficult to reconcile , there is a possibility of intensification.He hesitated, so he decided to avoid seeing him, but Han Yan persisted and insisted on chasing him to ask what happened, so he had no choice but to kill Han Yan.

Han Yan is the emperor's favorite minister, no matter how well he arranges, the emperor will not fully accept his explanation.In fact, he didn't expect the emperor to believe him, he just wanted the emperor to find no evidence of his madness.He didn't expect the emperor not to wear small shoes for him.Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover it.It is not entirely a joke to say that we are going to sail to sea.If he really got to that point, no matter how regretful he was, he would not be buried for this era.

For example, now, he is stranded at Hengpu Pass, unwilling to move on.

The reason he gave was very simple. He was the envoy of the Son of Heaven, and he could not go to Panyu by himself. He had to wait for the King of Nanyue to send someone to pick him up, and he needed someone of sufficient rank.He is not Yan An, Yan An is just an ordinary official, but he is a champion with a title. Of course, he can't be too casual, this is related to the court's face.Who made the emperor a face-saving person?

Qin Ge and the others knew that he intended to delay, so they didn't rush him.As long as Liang Xiao gave enough reasons, they wouldn't deliberately urge Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao lived in Hengpu Pass for more than half a month.In the past half a month, he has not been idle. Apart from talking happily with Cai Chuan, the gatekeeper of Nanyue Hengpu, he also traveled all over the nearby mountains in the name of admiring plum blossoms.Although it can't draw, it also has a lot of intuitive feeling.In his view, if he wanted to attack this Hengpu Pass by force, with the existing weapons and equipment, the casualties would be an unbearable high price.

Not only him, Qin Ge and others also had the same opinion.Therefore, when Liang Xiao said that Hengpu Pass is the most critical position in order to cooperate with the inside and the outside, and taking Hengpu Pass is equivalent to stepping into Panyu City with one foot, Qin Ge and the others had no objection.

Footsteps sounded behind him, Liang Xiao turned sideways, took a look, and saw Qin Ge going up the stairs with the wind blowing under his feet while holding his sword.

"Bo Ming."

"Is there any news about the Great Execution Order?"

Qin Ge let out a breath, rubbed his face, pulled his sleeves again, fanned the wind, and looked around the situation by the way.Lingnan is no better than Guanzhong. Although it is only the beginning of April, it is already unbearably hot.Qin Ge walked in a hurry this way, and was already sweating.

"The Great Movement Order has already reached Nanye. If we go any further, we will be discovered by the South Vietnamese. He asked when we will be ready."

Liang Xiao didn't answer, Wang Hui was eager to make contributions, and wished he could step into Hengpu Pass.But there are only ten officials around him, plus Tu Niuer and others, there are no more than 30 people. It is delusional to want to control Hengpu Pass with these 30 people.

"Have you told him? Although we are happy with Cai Chuan, we are not happy enough to be alone with him."

"said."

Liang Xiao frowned slightly. "Then did you tell him the terrain near Hengpu Pass?"

"As I said, I even drew a sketch for him." Qin Ge showed a little helplessness. "But the Da Xing Ling said that His Majesty is pressing hard. If the delay is too long, he will not be able to excuse the prince. Once His Majesty blames him..."

"Your Majesty, blame me, I'm alone." Liang Xiao snorted, very unhappy.Wang Hui's calculation was really good. He used the emperor to pressure him and force him to do it immediately.If it is done, Wang Hui has the power to win the pass, but if he loses, he will die, Liang Xiao.

Qin Ge was also in a dilemma.They can help Liang Xiao cover up, but if Wang Hui complains before the emperor, they will also be implicated.After all, apart from protecting Liang Xiao, their mission also included monitoring him.

"Bo Ming, how long do we have to wait?"

Liang Xiao remained silent.After a long time, he said: "You go and tell Da Xingling that there are 1000 defenders at Hengpu Pass. If you want to capture the city and prevent the South Vietnamese from counterattacking, you can't do it without a thousand elites. Let him arrange [-] people in the Stand by outside the city, after I send out the signal, these people will rush to the city within a meal."

Liang Xiao turned around, looked at Qin Ge, and twisted his mouth. "Do you think I deliberately made things difficult for him?"

Qin Ge smiled knowingly. "Bo Ming, you still have a way. This move is enough to make Wang Hui retreat in spite of the difficulties."

-

Looking at Qin Ge who had gone and returned, Wang Hui kept a sullen face and said nothing.

Qin Ge stepped forward to salute, Wang Hui nodded, as a return of the salute. "Champion Hou still doesn't agree to act? I just received the emperor's edict. If I don't enter the army again, I'm afraid I won't be able to excuse Champion Hou."

Qin Ge said with a smile: "Champion Marquis is ready, just wait for the big order to take the city."

"Really?" Wang Hui's expression changed, and he smiled a little more. "Champion Hou already has a plan to take the city?"

"It's no problem to control the South Vietnamese guards. However, our number is limited, and we can only fight for a meal for the Daxingling. If the Daxingling can arrive at the city in time, we can open the city gates and welcome the Daxingling to enter the city. After taking down Hengpu Pass, you will find Yimapingchuan in the south, and you can go back to Panyu in peace under the Daxing Order, and then join forces with the imperial censor to attack Panyu."

The smile on Wang Hui's face immediately disappeared without a trace.Da Xing is in charge of all directions, often dealing with envoys from various countries, and is best at listening to the meaning behind the words.Liang Xiao's plan seems to be very cooperative, but in fact, his real intention is to remind Wang Hui that if you don't arrive in time, it is impossible to win Hengpu Pass.Even if you win Hengpu Pass, if you want to win Panyu, you need the cooperation of Han Anguo, the imperial historian.

In other words, it is impossible for you to get ahead of Han Anguo and conquer South Vietnam by yourself.

In fact, taking Hengpu Pass is an impossible task.To get to the city within a meal, he had to lurk near Hengpu Pass.But if he was too close, he would be discovered by the South Vietnamese scouts. In this way, the South Vietnamese would definitely step up their vigilance.

"You...can't control Hengpu Pass?"

Qin Ge smiled more calmly. "Da Xingling, we only have 30 people, and there are more than 300 personal guards at Hengpu Gate, and at least 20 of them are inseparable. If you want to control him in one fell swoop, it is not easy to find an opportunity."

Wang Hui was furious, and just as he was losing his temper, an official rushed in and whispered something in Wang Hui's ear.Wang Hui was stunned, and then his face changed drastically, and he said sharply, "Really?"

The official nodded solemnly.

Wang Hui frowned, his face twisted, he clenched his fists and beat his palms hard twice, gritted his teeth for a while, and then said: "Shandong Dashui, this battle... I'm afraid we won't be able to win it."
