Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1187 The Road to the North
Because those present are all brothers of the clan, the Wang family can now be said to be divided into two, at least on the surface. Therefore, the Wang clan members who stayed in the Jiangzuo capital have become more united, and their external outlook has become more unified. Internally, His tone was very tight.

Director Wang was not afraid to say some taboo words, and the people present were all the closest brothers from the clan.

However, after hearing this, his brothers looked at each other in confusion, and then they all showed worried expressions, and another one said: "If Cao Ah Man has ambitions, wouldn't it mean that this big man's time is running out? The eldest son of the Champion Marquis is quite old now, and I heard he has been smart since he was a child..."

Hearing what he said, the others also looked stern.

On the contrary, Director Wang waved his hand and said: "What I said today, it's better not to dabble in these things. Besides, it's our guess to have such an ambition. Besides, the world is always changing, so we can't be certain. This trip to the north is called asking for advice." , In fact, it is to delay the time, and by the way, we have to plan something, just in case."

After everyone heard what he said, they all understood. Knowing that Director Wang had gone there, he probably wanted to leave a branch for the Wang family in the north, or at least leave a way out.

After all, anyone can see the strength of the north. The champion of the northern governor, in addition to not having an orthodox title, has completely surpassed other forces. In other words, a trace of the late emperor's old feelings can also be used as a restraint. Otherwise, it is really difficult to predict what the current situation will be.

As he said this, a group of people began to plan for this, and you gave me suggestions one by one.

At the end, Director Wang said: "By the way, let Xizhi come with me. Hasn't he wanted to become a disciple recently? Champion Hou's calligraphy skills are famous all over the world. If you want to learn calligraphy, where can you get around it? If you can There are many benefits to worshiping him as a disciple. After all, the students that the Champion Marquis really recognizes now are just Chen Zhe and a few others, and strictly speaking, Xizhi and the Champion Marquis still have a relationship."

Hearing this, everyone nodded, and many people even smiled.

"Xi Zhi has been smart and eager to learn since he was a child. He is a first-class scholar. Even the champions will appreciate him. If he can join his sect, it will be a great joy for our royal sect."

At this point, the tone had been set, and Director Wang said no more. In the next few days, the entire Wang family was busy preparing for his trip.

Several young disciples gathered from all over the place, and they will accompany the envoy to the north to meet the champion who dominates the Northland.

In addition to Director Wang, there are several big families in the city who are also preparing for this mission. Of course, Director Wang cannot be responsible for this mission. There are other envoys, and these families may not be as deep as Director Wang. Calculating, but also knowing that relying on the name of the imperial court to go north is a rare opportunity. If something goes wrong, the imperial court can be blamed, and the profit can be returned to his own family.

In fact, just after the meeting, many families who reacted began to compete for the title of envoy. Even those who originally thought they had a chance to replace Director Wang because he was leaving also began to try to compete for the spot.

As the news spread, even the southern aristocratic families gradually realized the key and began to fill the envoys with people.

In the end, the major families, their children, and various forces intervened. Even Wang Dun of Jingzhou was not idle and sent people to supervise. In fact, it was also a deployment of people.

The entire mission swelled rapidly, with nearly 200 members alone, not counting the soldiers who were assigned to protect them.

Logically speaking, the higher the level of an envoy, the more guards are needed, and the more people there are in the envoy, the more soldiers are needed. For an envoy of nearly 200 people, no matter how much the number of guards is reduced, it cannot be lower than 500 people, otherwise two caregivers and one person would not be able to see it.Just add the two together, which is 800 people, or round up to [-].

On your side of Jiangzuo, you suddenly sent a team of thousands of people to go north to the land of Xuanjia. If you are misunderstood, you will be wronged.

"Definitely not possible!" Director Wang went directly to King Langya, analyzed the pros and cons, and then gave his advice, "Reduce the number of people. I am willing to set an example and eliminate half of the officials who are from the Wang family. At least half of the others will also be eliminated!"

King Langya nodded in agreement. After the order was issued, it naturally aroused a wave of dissatisfaction and opposition, but the superiors wanted to push forward forcefully, and Director Wang took the lead. What was his identity?One person is worth more than ten thousand people, and even the Wang family has to withdraw half of its members. How can other families have the nerve to seize the quota?

So after deleting things east and west, there were less than 100 people left in the end, and then King Langya personally ordered the split. The final result was 72 members, including one envoy, five envoys, and many entourages. Officials and subordinates, with 200 guards, and sent a letter to Chen Zhi.

This letter is not only a notification of news, but also a hope that a Xuanjia Army escort mission can be separated from the north.

This request was actually a test, so after getting the feedback agreed by the north, both King Langya and Director Wang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he started to get busy.

Although at the beginning, they wanted to get the envoy to leave as soon as possible, but there were too many involved in this matter, and there were still many accidents and constraints in its actual implementation. So it took another two days before the envoy actually set off.

After crossing the river, a guide came over and asked Director Wang what route he planned to take.

Director Wang asked, "How many routes are there to go north?"

"The fastest way is by sea." The guide knew this very well, "Xuzhou goes to sea, all the way north, you can go directly to the port of Youzhou. In recent years, Youzhou has advocated sea transportation. The ports there are very large, and there are wars along the way. Ship escort, some pirates are nothing to worry about, it is actually the fastest option.”

Director Wang shook his head and said: "Although sea transportation is convenient, going all the way north will reach Youzhou. We can't see the situation in the north. On the contrary, there is a shortage, so I don't choose."

"That way, go north from Xuzhou, pass through Qingzhou, pass to the east of Jizhou, and then arrive at Youzhou." The guide gave another choice, "It was peaceful and uneventful along the way. Xuzhou was originally occupied by the Shi family, and there were people from the imperial court. Soldiers and horses came to fight for it, but there was not much damage after several years. Because this place was the ancestral land of Chen Zhi, others did not dare to take action easily. Now that it has been captured by the Xuanjia Army, the people have returned to their hearts and have regained their strength, while Qingzhou and the east of Jizhou , were all attached earlier, and the thieves and bandits were paid off early, and now it is a smooth road."

Director Wang still shook his head and said: "This is a smooth road, but we don't know the reality of the Xuanjia Army, so we have no choice."

When the guide heard this, he finally understood and said with a smile: "So, the Prime Minister wants to get a glimpse of the reality of the North. If this is the case, there is still an option..."
