Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1190: It’s easy to see, but blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable

Perhaps after this great battle, the reputation of this Xuanjia army was also spread. After that, the envoys and escorts walked in Sizhou territory, and they never encountered any obstacles.

Not to mention that the thieves fled away ahead of time when they heard the news, and even the scattered refugees who had not been restrained and registered did not dare to approach easily.

However, after leaving Sizhou, encounters gradually occurred again, but compared to the first time, even the people in the envoy were not too worried when encountering such a situation again, and some of them were even able to survive in the face of the enemy. At that time, I should maintain a little bit of the demeanor of a famous teacher, be able to drink wine, compose poems, and enjoy myself.

When they arrived at the border of Youzhou, they were settled, and Li Tou led his troops to say goodbye. The scholars in the envoy were still a little reluctant to leave.

Director Wang met a few young people. Before going north, they actually harbored resentment and superiority in their hearts. However, Director Wang knew that these were all bluffs, more to cover up his guilty conscience.

As a result, they had followed the Xuanjia Army all the way here, and now each of them actually looked a bit like a celebrity. At least when they spoke, they seemed confident and had an indescribable energy.

That night, Director Wang called several brothers from the clan and talked about this matter, and they all expressed the same feeling.

"Not to mention other people, even I am a little reluctant to leave. With the Xuanjia Army here, I know that no matter how strong the thieves are, they are just grasshoppers after autumn. They cannot jump up at all. On the contrary, they are more calm and more... It’s kind of joking, I want to see how these people toss, and then they are completely broken by the Xuanjia army.”

"What you said is true. After all, you have actually written several good poems about this in the past few days. You said that if Jiangzuo's soldiers and horses had such ability, why would there be so many troubles? Wouldn't it still be a peaceful and prosperous age?"

"If we talk about a peaceful and prosperous age, I can't see it too far away. If nothing else, the closer I get to Youzhou on this way north, the more I can feel that the people are rich and happy. These ordinary people, children from poor families, and big family members may not be as good as me. , they can recite poems, but from every move, it can be seen that they are also confident and don’t worry about tomorrow at all!”

Having said that, everyone fell silent.

Although the Wang family has great fame in Jiangzuo, it is actually very cold at the top. Not to mention that other families are eyeing their position, but there are factions in Jiangzuo and there are many threats. If there is not Wang Dun outside, I am afraid that It was the Wang family's life in court that had already taken a turn for the worse.

And it's not just the Wang family, looking at Jiangzuo and Jiangdong, all the aristocratic families have a feeling of being in a precarious situation, as if if they are not careful, the world will be in chaos, and they will leave the world in chaos, not knowing where they will be tomorrow.

It is precisely because of this sense of unrest that when they walked with the Xuanjia Army, they immediately felt a sense of security after discovering that no matter what kind of enemy they were, how many men, how many preparations they had, they would be defeated by the Xuanjia Army. .

Along the way, the sense of security became stronger and stronger, and finally reached its peak in Youzhou. Now a group of members of the Wang family gathered together, and after talking about it, they found out about this matter, and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

But soon, they noticed that Director Wang fell into silence and had a solemn expression.

Everyone asked him what he was thinking.

"You have only noticed that we have changed because of Xuanjia, but you have not thought about how the hundreds of Xuanjia soldiers can attack tens of thousands of bandits without fear. This kind of character is really impressive. I'm afraid, if the 10,000+ black armor troops in the North are all the same, then who can defeat them? I'm afraid that if the two armies fight, there will be a difference in momentum, and I'm afraid that the victory or defeat will be clear before they start."

After hearing what he said, everyone fell silent.They also all realized that the fact that they were able to express their celebrity demeanor without any scruples, without worrying about their safety, was really the result of the fearless charge of those soldiers.

"In short, since I have seen the power of Xuanjia, I have to make more preparations. Maybe I should make more preparations for meeting the champion this time," Director Wang said, as if something suddenly occurred to him, the conversation changed. , "I remember that there was also a disciple in the fifth server who joined the champion's house as the heir of Luo Hou and others."

Immediately, someone reported back: "There is this person, who comes from Qitang. His name is Wang Kuai. He is currently serving in the Dudu Mansion and is considered to be a well-promoted person. I heard that he may go to Bingzhou to become a prefect in the near future."

Many people were surprised by this statement.

"I know this kid, Wang Kuai. He's not very old, but he can become a county guard so soon? It's incredible, it's incredible!"

"This quiet man actually has such abilities. It's a pity that many of the children in the south are still competing for the title of leader of the younger generation. Compared with Wang Kuai, they are far behind! This is the north. The governor!"

"Yeah, the officialdom in the north is a bit different from that in the south. It seems that the officials of the central government have to go to the local government to make achievements in order to have further opportunities. Wang Kuai is also because he caught up with the good time, otherwise he would Now in this imperial examination, so many people are pursuing it and taking the test, so if he joins, he may not be able to stand out."

"I heard Wang Kuai say that although those who followed them in the early days did not take part in the imperial examination, they still dabbled in the civil and military examinations. Therefore, in the governor's house, they can be regarded as having a decent background, so that they can be promoted smoothly. Otherwise, , that is, only people like Zhang Bin can be promoted exceptionally..."

……

Seeing that everyone was discussing again, Director Wang did not stop him. Instead, he listened, remembered, and thought. When everyone had finished talking, he sighed: "Just from Wang Kuai, you can tell that this Northland What’s unusual is that the champion has his own agenda, and I’m afraid his plans are far beyond those of ordinary heroes.”

Then he changed the topic: "However, I expect that the champion will not easily see me waiting, and will delay it for a while. During this period, we still need to contact Wang Kuai and let him coordinate, so that we can meet the champion as soon as possible. …”

Everyone agreed with Director Wang's inference.

However, early the next morning, an official came over and reported to them: "My Marquis knows that you are coming and has made preparations. He will receive you when you arrive in Jixian in three days."

As soon as the person arrives, I'll see you right away!

This performance was beyond Director Wang's original expectations, which certainly made him a little embarrassed. After all, the eyes of those tribesmen who originally respected him looked over with a hint of weirdness.

But more than the issue of face, what worries him is that such a straightforward interview may indicate that he will encounter a very difficult situation.

Therefore, when the envoy from the envoy came to ask for instructions, Director Wang said seriously: "Everyone, you must be prepared. Although it is easy to meet the champion this time, when you meet, you will What kind of result we will get is really unpredictable, I am worried that the Marquis will take this opportunity to ask for power!"
