The twilight is heavy and the rivers and seas are boundless.
In the years of constant swords and swords, it is the time when the twilight castle closes. Anyi, the capital of Wei State, located on the north bank of the Yellow River, opened the closed south gate and rumbled down the suspension bridge, releasing a group of armored knights and a bronze chariot without any flag. In the twilight, the team crossed the mountain and flew over the plain. They crossed the Yellow River from Jin Meng Ferry in the dim moonlight. When they reached the south bank, they flew to Daliangcheng, a famous city on the Great Plains, by moonlight starlight.
At this moment, Daliangcheng was immersed in deep excitement and carnival.
Daliang is the largest city in Wei State, facing Anyi, the capital city on the north bank of the Yellow River. Although it is not the capital, the city scale and market momentum of Daliang are much larger than Anyi. On the convenience of geographical location, the girder is located in the fertile plain, with the Yellow River in the north and Fengze Lake in the south, extending in all directions, making it the largest material distribution center in the Central Plains. Wei didn't take the girder as its capital in those days, just because when Han, Zhao and Wei were divided into Jin, the southern plain within Wei's sphere of influence was still barren vilen, and the girder was just a small town. At that time, Anyi was the power center of Wei, located at the intersection of Fenshui and the Yellow River, with developed farming and strong city, which naturally became the capital. I don't want to take advantage of Li Kui's political reform since Wei Wenhou, but try my best to develop agriculture on the south bank of the Yellow River. Girder got the right time, location and people, and soon became rich. With the prosperity of agriculture, artisans and businessmen flock to China. In the past century, Daliang has become an amphibious metropolis, rebuilt a big city, gathered merchants and shops, and formed Weicheng, the largest city in the world. Moreover, celebrities from all over the world have come here to settle down and open libraries, and their style of writing is prosperous, and their private studies have made great progress, becoming the center of civilization in the Central Plains.
Even so, Liang people always feel that something is missing in their hearts, especially when they meet Anyi people, they always feel sour in their hearts. Anyi is a city and the capital of a country. Although it is not as rich as Liang Wen, it has its own sense of superiority. It is often a discussion about "what is the general trend of the world", or a private anecdote about princes and princes, such as "Wang Weishang, a general, visited a house six times recently" and "the Prime Minister brought a beautiful concubine a few days ago". The girder people were envious and sour when they heard it. Daliang people can talk about Daliang's enjoyment in front of any foreigner, but they are ashamed to talk in front of Anyi people in Wangcheng. There is nothing you can do about it. If wealth and enjoyment are far from power, people will only say that you are a wealthy businessman.
In the final analysis, what girder people lack is a kind of extravagance. Being rich but not expensive always makes you angry.
However, more than ten days ago, special envoy Wang Wei brought an imperial edict, which made the girder people see the hope of standing tall in front of Anyi people, and the whole city boiled.
Special envoy Wang Wei declared that the six-nation alliance headed by Wei will be held on the bank of the Okanagan Valley, and Daliangcheng is the reserve base of the six-nation alliance. Daliang should quickly build a six-country military camp and a six-country garden in Fengze Lake, and hoard the best wine and beauty of Daliang to Wei Guo Garden. If so, it will naturally not excite the well-informed girder people. What's important is that almost at the same time, Anyi merchants sent a secret message from the palace: Wang Wei likes girders, so in Meng Hui, Fengze, he intends to move the capital to Daliangcheng!
In ten days, the secret spread like wildfire, and everyone was talking excitedly. As Anyi merchants continuously transferred their property to Daliang, merchants from all over the country inquired and confirmed that the excitement of Daliang City finally spread to carnival. No one knows when and who started, and the night market, which was originally closed at midnight, became an all-night market. All kinds of restaurants, restaurants, high lanterns, fluttering flags, and cheers filled the market. Social dances originally held for grand festivals have also flooded into this area. The statue of the social god, which was carried by more than 40 strong men on the extra-large wooden cart, marched slowly, looking kindly at the men and women in colorful clothes dancing at his feet, and the children in the corner flocked to the streets to sing and dance in droves. Foreign businessmen are either standing under the eaves of the street, making suggestions and talking excitedly, or smiling and listening to the old people around them, commenting on the advantages and disadvantages of the folk customs and ballroom dancing of the girders. What surprised foreign investors most at first was that the prices of all girders fell by 50% to 60%, and some even fell by 80%! There is a big red cloth hanging high in front of every shop, and the word "Huan" is written in the big book. The following are "eight falls" or "five falls" and "six falls" Foreign businessmen in other places were frightened, but they couldn't blame the elders of the world's largest land and water city, so they had to follow the crowd and fell four times and three times. However, to the surprise of foreign businessmen, Daliang people simply disdain to take advantage of this festive day to grab small profits. They walked into big shops and small shops politely and only bought some festive things or wine, food and biscuits. That's all. I try to buy them in stores run by Daliang people, and seldom patronize foreign merchants and foreign stores. For a time, foreign businessmen in other places were amazed, looked at each other and marveled at "what a big beam!" Surprisingly, I don't know which country's big businessmen took the lead, but foreign businessmen actually dropped 90% to thank their elders. A big businessman in the state of Qi actually presented festive things, wine and biscuits to the city people at the door of the store, but he didn't send out a few pieces a day. Foreign businessmen are ashamed and happy, leaving the store business to the accountant, and taking to the streets to have fun with the girders.
In the carnival of the girder, there is only one place as cold and cheerless as usual, and this is the hangyuan of General Pang Juan.
Pang Juan and his cavalry arrived outside Daliang City at four o'clock. The carnival in the city surprised and surprised Pang Juan. The alliance of the six countries is a real thing and needs to be carried out as secretly as possible. What is the secret of being laid by the girder now? At that time, he thought Ren Liang was very shallow and disgusting. He flatly refused Liang Shou's earnest request to let him enter the city from the main entrance to accept the worship of all, and ordered the secret passage outside the city to be opened and hidden in the upper general shaft prepared in the city.
To iron the first thing, Pang Juan sent someone to inquire about all kinds of rumors in the city. What he wants to know is, how much has the secret of the six-nation alliance been leaked? An hour later, when spies from all walks of life reported together, they all said that Daliang people were celebrating the news of moving the capital, and almost no one talked about the alliance of the six countries. He breathed a long sigh of relief and thought about it carefully, but he felt puzzled. How important it is to move the capital girder. As a general in the world, why do you know nothing? Who proposed to move the capital immediately? When did Wang Wei agree? Why didn't you warn him? I couldn't figure it out at the moment, so he left me alone. He thinks that such an important national event can't always be evaded by a well-armed general like him. Sooner or later, everything will be understood, and those who hide it from him will pay the price. The most important thing now is to prepare for the six-nation alliance.
By the time of the five drums, Pang Juan had finished washing in front of the bronze mirror, wearing a soft and dry close-fitting white cloth suit, which made him feel particularly comfortable. After drinking a bowl of mud broth, he coughed gently, and the personal bodyguard put it in the general's full costume. Special armor made of fine iron. It is thin and soft, close-fitting and extremely strong. When the nail leaves rub, there will be obvious vibration. There is also a bronze general's helmet, a foot-long helmet spear shining in candlelight, and two ear protectors that are five inches straight are exquisite in radian, and the ear thorns are smooth and abnormal. Then there is the same size silk red cloak. Once the upper body is smooth and flat, the cloak button under the neck will shine. After dressing up, a majestic and magnificent general appeared in the bronze mirror. Pang Juan saw his one eye, stroking the two big beads on the cloak button, but frowned slightly. As a war general, he doesn't like such flashy things very much. But this was given by Wang Wei when he was a general. Two Haizhu used as cloak buttons are Wei Huiwang's favorite treasures. This armor was customized by Wang Wei's emissary in the famous girder workshop. This suit is really priceless. Except Wei, probably the generals of that vassal state would not have such luxurious and expensive armor. For Wang Wei's special reward, Wang Wei will certainly be unhappy if he doesn't dress up on such an important occasion as the six-nation alliance. Today, among the ministers of Wei, only the Prime Minister, his uncle CuO and his generals have won this special award. Does Wei, who loves brand-name jewelry and pays special attention to clothes and dignity, care?
When the costume was ready, Pang Juan took the gold-sheathed sword from the sword rack and whispered, "Ten guards, follow me out of the south gate from the bystreet. Three thousand fighters rode down the street and arrived in Fengze at noon. "
"Yes!" Standing outside the account, the military affairs Sima promised to act quickly and went out.
When Pang Juan walked out of the tent, his Sanma chariot had sailed briskly to the tent. Ten armored knights also mounted their horses and stood behind the car. Pang Juan walked to the front of the car, lifted his right hand, jumped on the cart neatly, stood under the six-foot bronze hood, gently unsheathed it, and the cart stumbled out of the shaft.
Because the celebration of Girder has little to do with the six-nation alliance, Pang Juan's dislike of Girder people has also subsided a lot. He decided not to go out of the city through the secret passage, but directly out of the south gate to see the carnival scene of the girder people. He believes that it won't take too much time to walk from the side street at dawn. According to the habits of good people who are used to nightlife, the early morning is the time to sleep, and the pedestrians on the street are the rarest. But Pang Juan didn't expect that today, this unknown street is also a torch, crowded, and social dances and drums are very lively. Pang Juan saw that the torch on the high train could not see the end, frowned slightly and ordered in a heavy voice: "Diversion!"
But at this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Go find the general! The general has arrived! "
"The general is a national dry city! Make way for the general! " A white-haired old man shouted loudly in the ballroom dancing queue and waved the red flag in his hand again and again. The men, women and children who participated in the club dance in the center of the street and the people who watched the club dance spread to the street shouted to both sides: "Long live Wang Wei! Long live the general! " Shout together.
Seeing that the people of Liang respected themselves so much, Pang Juan felt a surge of heat. Although he didn't propose to move the capital immediately, he was the staunchest advocate of Wei's upper class. How can a clever and well-informed girder person not know? But the girder people will never call the general "benefactor" publicly, but only "Gancheng". Even if it is a continuous carnival, the Daliang people just shout "Long live Wang Wei!" "Guo Wei is a big business, and the girders take the lead!" No one shouted out the real impulse buried in his heart-Liang is about to become a king city! Pang Juan naturally understood that he was in the middle, but he was always a little uneasy and unhappy about the cunning of Liang Man. Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people can take the opportunity to express their feelings so tacitly and hide in the carnival so patiently, which is absolutely impossible for the second largest city in the Warring States, including Linzi in Qi and Anyi in Wei. In the face of such people, Pang Juan is always insecure. He wanted to say a few warm words of thanks to the elders who respected him, but this uneasy feeling made him tightly sip his thick lips and look solemn. He arched his hands on the chariot and kept making gifts for people on both sides. He staggered out of the south gate of the girder with cheers.
In the morning in Shi Mao, Pang Juan arrived in Okanagan Valley.
His chariot went straight to General Wei Ying's tent, ate a pot of Fengze yellow mutton in a hurry, and then made the last inspection in Hangyuan District. Tomorrow, the kings of the six Warring States will come one after another, and today all the mistakes will be eliminated. It turns out that the construction of this alliance camp is supervised by the local government-run land and implemented by Da Liangshou. With Liang's excitement and attention to this matter, there should be no mistakes. But Pang Juan is still not at ease. Pang Juan is too aware of the importance of the success of this alliance to him as an initiator. Speaking of it, he put forward the proposal of six-nation alliance to Wei Huiwang. The overall strategy was secretly formulated by him, and even the place and time of alliance were put forward by him. Wang Wei accepted his concrete plan almost completely. If successfully implemented, Pang Juan will be the founder of Wei hegemony. From a close point of view, he will at least become the prime minister and general of Wei, worthy of the name, and change the situation of separation of powers from his uncle. From a distance, he will far surpass the achievements made by Wu Qi, a famous Wei country. If Wei unifies the world, he will undoubtedly be immortal. Pang Juan thinks deeply, thinks far and thinks carefully, and will never allow the six countries to make any mistakes. Because of this, he told Wang Wei that he had led three thousand fighters to the girder to make a final inspection.
A whole day's inspection results, although found a few small flaws, but in the end there is no big mistake, Pang Juan is quite satisfied. In the name of the general above, he gave three military commanders to Liang Shou as guards. Liang Shou accepted it with trepidation and immediately presented ten beautiful women and ten barrels of Liang wine to the general. Pang Juan resolutely refused, and severely reprimanded Liang for using the dancer and the king's wine. Liang Shoushou was so scared that he repeatedly argued that dancers and wine were not official products, but just worshipped the trust of Liang's elders.
"There is no official product, and I immediately return to my elders. Go down. " Pang Juan's voice was expressionless.
"Yes, yes, yes", Liang gave Pang Juan a frosty look, wiped his sweat hastily and withdrew from the tent.
Pang Juan didn't affect the plan because of this trivial matter. After dinner, he called in the three master books in charge of the general's office documents and eight little bastards in charge of chores, and secretly arranged for them to join the ranks of the five gentlemen's attendants as the deacons of the alliance to listen to the dynamics of the five gentlemen. Pang Juan particularly stern told, any major news can only report to him alone, or kill without forgiveness! After the distribution is completed, the host immediately sends out the deacon's gift and access token, and everyone goes out to prepare for departure.
Pang Juan breathed a sigh of relief and strolled out of the account. It's already the middle of the month. Although it is early summer, the wind blowing from the Okanagan valley water is still a little cold. Pang Juan looked at the stars and continuous lights on the shore of the Okanagan Valley one day, and was deeply touched. He has been out of the mountain for three years, and although he has won several battles, he is far from being famous in the Warring States period when swords and swords are frequently used. There must be a feat that affects the world pattern in one fell swoop in order to truly reach the highest realm of celebrities. For example, the political reform in Wei has made Wei a superpower and is world-famous. Wu Qi, for example, is not only a victorious general on the battlefield, but also a famous minister of power and reform. Only such a famous person is Pang Juan's life goal. He often feels that his talent is similar to that of Wuqi. He is not only a strategist, but also a great statesman. He should be a respected regent in the world. Perhaps, it is precisely because of such a self-evaluation and such a lofty goal that Pang Juan's vision has never been limited to the military, and he has never been satisfied with being a general who can win the battle. He pays more attention to the power of governing the country and foreign affairs involving the world pattern. A real celebrity is a person who can not only command the three armies to gallop on the battlefield, but also plan a long-term strategy to win over the governors of the world. All this, because of the realization of the six-nation alliance, made Pang Juan take the first step. Although it is difficult, Pang Juan is full of confidence that he will succeed and change the teacher's original evaluation of him.
