Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 162 Verifying Information
Zhao Wuming looked at Zhang Liang, who was deep in thought, and suddenly thought of the scroll of bamboo slips. Before Fan Kui could reply, he looked at the crowd: "During the time when I'm alone, you can find out about Lou Fan and Lin Hu."

"My lord, although I said that I sent people to Loufan and Linhu. But after all, the time is short, so not much progress has been made."Chen Ping heard Zhao Wuming's question, bowed to him, and quickly replied.

Zhao Wuming took the bamboo slips from the case table, and looked at Chen Ping: "Gu came here this time to tell you the news about the Lou Fan and Lin Hu clans, but some of these news have passed more than ten years ago. After a long time, we need to send someone to re-verify.”

"The news is ten years old?".Chen Ping obviously didn't react for a while.

Zhao Wuming saw that everyone was puzzled, and explained to them: "Today Gu's uncle, Mr. Zhao Guoxing Ping, came and saw that Gu was collecting relevant information, so he recorded the information in the bamboo slips. But all his news came from ten Years ago, so we need to send someone to verify."

"That's how it turned out. After I returned, I sent a letter to my staff in Linhu and Loufan in Seoul to verify the information one by one."Chen Ping instantly understood that no matter what, having these news is much better than knowing nothing about Lou Fan and Lin Hu.

Zhao Wuming got up, walked towards Chen Ping with the bamboo slips, and handed the bamboo slips in his hand to him: "I hope the news on the bamboo slips can quickly open up the situation. At that time when the army went south, it would not be ignorant of the enemy's news."

"I will live up to my lord's expectations, and I will find out the news of the Linhu and Loufan clans as soon as possible."Chen Ping took the bamboo slips respectfully with both hands, and assured Zhao Wuming for a while.

Zhao Wuming looked at Xiao He: "Prime Minister can transfer the military resources to the south as soon as possible. Once the detailed information about Lou Fan is found out, the army can also act accordingly."

"My lord, is it too early to mobilize military resources at this time?"Xiao He didn't agree immediately, but instead asked Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming shook his head slightly: "Not only the military resources, but also the army. It needs to be reorganized while gathering in the south under the leadership of the generals."

"Think twice, my lord. Once the army and supplies gather in the south too early, Lou Fan and Linhubi will be alert and prompt them to increase their troops on the northern front."Han Xin persuaded Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming was taken aback for a moment, obviously not thinking too much about this question: "Then in the view of the general, what should I do in Seoul?".

"My minister suggested that 20 troops be stationed in the south, and the rest of the troops should be assembled in Seoul. As for food and grass, it is enough to ensure that 20 troops can feed for one year."Han Xin expressed his views on this matter to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming frowned gradually: "Once the war breaks out, it may be too late to mobilize troops and supplies from the city to Loufan."

"Zhidao, the minister proposes that within this period of time, I will devote all my strength in Seoul to build a straight road from the city to the border of Loufan as quickly as possible. And the grain and grass for the 60 troops will be placed in various places along the straight road. When war breaks out, I, Seoul, can go to support as quickly as possible."Han Xin directly stated his solution to this matter.

Zhao Wuming was stunned for a moment, how could he forget the big killer straight road.If a straight road can be built, it is indeed possible to rush to the front line at the fastest speed.Moreover, straight roads are not only useful in military affairs, but also beneficial to enhance Seoul's rule over the south: "The general's proposal is good, but I don't know if I have enough money in Seoul to build straight roads."

"My lord, if you only build this straight road, judging from the property stored in my treasury in Seoul, it should be barely enough."Shen Wansan was in charge of Seoul's economy, so he knew the property situation in the city well, and replied immediately when he heard the inquiry.

Zhao Wuming was overjoyed and immediately ordered: "The eradication of Loufan is a matter of life and death for me in Seoul. I am willing to devote all my strength in Seoul to build this straight road, even if the construction of the city pass is temporarily slowed down, I will not hesitate."

"Today, in Seoul, we have defeated the Donghu and Hun tribes and seized the central grasslands. With a lot of savings from the two tribes, even if we start work at the same time, it is not unreasonable."Xiao He thought about it in his heart, and spoke to Zhao Wuming.

When Zhao Wuming thought of seizing the central grassland, he immediately felt relieved when he saw the property: "So I will trouble everyone."

"Lord".Zhang Liang looked at Zhao Wuming and shouted at him.

Zhao Wuming looked at Zhang Liang puzzled: "What's the matter with the military division? But it doesn't matter."

"Although the lord can use the city-moving order to travel between Zhao and Seoul. But I don't know if the lord has thought about it. If special circumstances happen, the city-moving order will become invalid. How should the lord contact the ministers?"Zhang Liang asked Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming was obviously stumped by this question, his lips moved for a while as if thinking of something: "Where is Xiao Zhan? Where is he now."

"I am playing in the market, will the lord summon me immediately?".When Zhang Liang heard the question, although he didn't understand why Zhao Wuming asked Xiao Zhan suddenly, he still replied respectfully.

Zhao Wuming thought of a question, and suddenly smiled: "Every time Gu calls Xiao Zhan, he can appear immediately, but why is he missing at this time?"

"When the lord is discussing the state affairs, the special envoy automatically avoids it. If the lord is not summoned, he is not allowed to go here."Zhang Liang explained to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the elusive Xiao Zhan hadn't appeared just now. It turned out that there was still such a restriction: "If the relocation order loses its effect, you can still let Xiao Zhan deliver the news, and it should be fine."

"The invalidation of the city relocation order is generally due to the state of the battlefield and the state of battle. Under such a state, special envoys are not allowed to appear. Does the lord still think at this time that the news can be sent back to Seoul?"Zhang Liang continued to question Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming was dumbfounded, and asked Zhang Liang for a long while: "The military adviser thinks what should be done alone."

"The minister proposed and sent people to bring the Xunying to Zhao Guo. Hand over the Xunying to the lord for emergency needs."Zhang Liang proposed to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming replied subconsciously: "Could it be that Gu can't take the Xunying to Zhao Guo?".

"If the Xunying goes directly to Zhao State through the city relocation order, dare to ask the lord. How can this Xunying recognize the way back to the city?".Hearing Zhao Wuming's subconscious reply, Chen Ping couldn't help but smile in his heart, and couldn't help asking him.

Zhao Wuming was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but smile: "The military adviser is thoughtful, so let's leave this matter to the two military advisers."

"promise".Both Zhang Liang and Chen Ping bowed to accept orders at the same time.

Seeing that everything has been explained, Zhao Wuming immediately looked around at the crowd: "It's late at night, if I don't return for a long time, I'm afraid others will suspect it. If you have nothing to do, I will leave."

"Congratulations to the Lord".Everyone was fine, bowed and sent them off in unison.

A door of light opened slowly, Zhao Wuming smiled at the crowd, turned around and walked into the door of light.

Xiao He and others saw that Zhao Wuming was going back to Zhao country, and they led everyone out in a file.

……

Outside the city of Handan, Zhao Guo camp, in Zhao Wuming's tent.Baiqinwei waited with a solemn expression.

Sun Buer heard footsteps coming from inside, and then looked towards the tent behind him.

The tent door was lifted, and Zhao Wuming's figure appeared in front of his eyes.Seeing this, Sun Buer quickly bowed and said, "My lord, everything will be fine in the city when I go back."

"well".Seeing Sun Buer's concerned look, Zhao Wuming had a thought, and a few pieces of city relocation order appeared in his hand.Then he handed the city relocation order in his hand to Sun Buer: "If you miss Seoul, you can go back and have a look at it in your spare time."

"This subordinate is grateful to the lord for the generous gift, but the order to move the city is very precious, so how can the subordinate use the token for his own selfishness?"Sun Buer did not accept the order to move the city, but postponed it to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming involuntarily put the moving order into Sun Buer's hands: "Needless to say, precious things can reflect their value if they are not used."

"host……".Sun Bu'er was a little moved, and was about to postpone, but saw that Zhao Wuming's attitude was firm and he could only get a few pieces of the city relocation order.

Seeing that Sun Buer will move the city, Zhao Wuming smiled with satisfaction: "During the time when I'm not alone, can someone visit?".

"have".Sun Buer thought for a while, then looked at Zhao Wuming: "The prince and Captain Xue came, but were blocked by the subordinates on the excuse that the lord was tired."

Hearing that the two had been here, Zhao Wuming was a little surprised: "Why did they come here, did they mention it to you?".

"Before the prince left, he asked his subordinates to inform the lord. They will go to Xindu tomorrow, so they came here to say goodbye, but when they saw that the lord was tired, they went back."Sun Buer told Zhao Wuming about Zhao Yu and Xue Qian's intentions.

When Zhao Wuming heard this, he nodded slightly: "I see."

"My lord, King Zhao's condition is getting worse day by day, and the situation in King Zhao is turbulent. Seoul is far away in the north. Once the state of Zhao changes, it may be unfavorable to the lord. I don't know what the lord thinks about it when the master returns this time." .Sun Buer thought of the situation in Zhao State and Seoul, and asked Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming shook his head slightly: "Although Hancheng has strength, it has become a difficult situation with strong enemies on all sides. This is far away, even if the military division has thousands of strategies, it will not help. Zhao's crisis situation, only [-] personal guards can be relied on alone. If you can ensure that the eldest brother is on the throne, stabilize the situation in Zhao State, and make Zhao State station troops in the north. We, Seoul, hope to resolve the crisis. If not, I am afraid that the predicament will become a dead end. Once either the Xiongnu or Donghu recovers, must perish."

"I don't know if the lord has a plan for the crisis that is about to break out in the Zhao country."Sun Buer thought for a while and asked Zhao Wuming.

A confident smile flashed across the corner of Zhao Wuming's mouth: "Although Zhao Yu and Zhao Fan have many soldiers, they are not helpless. Thirty thousand guards are hidden in the dark, and it is no problem to have one against three. Since Shen Tuxiu can ambush them Gu, why can't Gu kill them? Even if they have thousands of soldiers guarding them, can they still stop Gu's [-] army? ".

"Even if Zhao Yu and others are killed, my lord, don't forget that there is still Daijun. Zhao Fan of Daijun has 40 soldiers and horses watching over him."Sun Bu'er reminded Zhao Wuming that he didn't think that killing Zhao Yu would mean that everything would end after Zhao Yu ascended the throne.On the contrary, he believes that the 40 soldiers and horses in Daijun are the biggest crisis.

Zhao Wuming looked up to the north, with an inexplicable charm in his eyes: "Zhao Fan needs time to integrate his troops. If he really wants to rebel, then the best time must be when Lou Fan is caught in the flames of war. By then he will have no worries , you can lead the army to attack. Sun Buer, you said, was he able to kill him at that time?".

"can".Sun Buer replied without thinking, and spit out four words at the end: "Because of Seoul".
