After this day, Jiang Heng was arranged to live in the Prince's Mansion in the Zheng Palace. The Zheng Kingdom was still in the Jin Dynasty, and inherited the orthodoxy of the Great Jin Dynasty. The brick-one-tile, the Zhongkaisi Road, the screen wall bestowed by the emperor, and the eight giant tripods enshrined in front of the ancestral temple, all have almost the same pattern as the capital of Luoyang.
Living here, Jiang Heng always felt a sense of familiarity. Every plant and tree in Zheng Palace reminded him of the days when he and Geng Shu were in Luoyang five years ago.
The striking similarity lies in the fact that the imperial court of Prince Ling is also full of old and rigid aura.
After entering the Prince's Mansion, Jiang Heng naturally became a member of the Prince's family, sitting in a group of aides, sorting out the government documents presented to the royal capital from all over the country for him. There are more than 400 disciples of Prince Ling, most of whom are not allowed to enter the curtain. There are only 35 people who really assist in government affairs.
Jiang Hengyin made a great contribution in hosting refugees. He was out of 35 people, and was close to the door and curtain, and got a case and a position.
"Your name is Luo Heng?" A man beside him said sideways.
Jiang Heng nodded politely and showed him his wooden sign. Another doorman on the opposite side said: "The new one."
Jiang Heng replied: "Yes, please take care of everyone."
Jiang Heng could hear that these disciples came from various countries, either suffering from civil war and unbearable disturbance; or being excluded by the bureaucrats in the country, and came to Zhenglai to seek life. Among them, Liang and Zheng are the most people, and they talk with the accents of the two places. The second is the generation and Ying people. The disciples formed their own parties, Liang Guo's group, Zheng Guo's group, a few Ying, and Dairen formed a group, and three small groups appeared.
"Where are you from?" Someone asked.
"Yingren." Jiang Heng replied.
The opposite is catching the lice, the conversation is lazy, and there are people who are disheveled and drinking during the day.
"You are the one who gathered 120,000 people, threatened Jeju to open the city gate, and threatened to snatch domestic wheat," said a ragged, disheveled, bearded man.
"First Evolution"
Everyone laughed. Jiang Heng replied, "Yes, it's me."
Another young man next to him sneered: "I heard that Prince Ling has been visiting you often recently."
Jiang Heng suddenly felt that this group of people was like the harem who competed for favor as mentioned in the book.
"I don't come often." Jiang Heng said.
"Every time your Highness invites a guest," the sloppy man across from him reminded earnestly, "It's all courtesy, just wait. After a while, you'll be just like us, no one cares."
When the words fell, everyone became quiet, and only listened to the sloppy man sang a paragraph casually, insane, all in Vietnamese dialects such as "no one cares, no one cares...".
At this time, Prince Ling walked in slowly, followed by a military general of the imperial court.
Everyone stopped talking and greeted Prince Ling one after another, calling the general "General Cha". When entering the city, Jiang Heng specifically inquired that there were two generals in Zheng State, one was Long Yu and the other was Che Yu. This burly man with broad shoulders and a strong waist must be Admiral Cheyu.
Prince Ling took his seat in silence, while Che Kui sat on his knees and looked at the crowd.
"The army of the Yong Kingdom has gathered at Yubi Pass," Prince Ling said straight to the point, "guarding the pass and important places, it will break into the capital Luoyang at any time, and come along the Laoshan Mountain to invade our country. How to deal with it, please teach me gentlemen."
Presumably this is today's topic, Jiang Heng frowned slightly, and a map of the north appeared in his mind.
"How many people are here?" The first guest was an old man, and he said to the prince.
Prince Ling was about to speak, but Jiang Heng said in silence, "Twenty-five thousand infantrymen at the front, plus twenty-five thousand troops at Yubi Pass, make a total of fifty thousand."
When Che Tu heard the words, he was suddenly surprised and looked at Jiang Heng.
"Yes," Prince Ling replied, "as Mr. Luo said."
"Who leads the striker?" A young man, the leader of Liang Guomen's guests, asked again.
Che Tu replied in a deep voice, "Prince Yong, the one whose name is Juiciao is the one."
"I've never heard of this person." The sloppy man poked out his ears and said lazily.
"Why haven't you heard of it?" Someone retorted, "Four years ago, the Ju family established a new prince. According to folklore, it was the illegitimate son of Ju Cong. …”
"Of course I fucking know it's this person!" The sloppy man roared impatiently, his voice like thunder blasting through the hall, startling everyone, "I mean, where did this bastard come from? Can't you understand human words? You have to break up the words and smash them to pieces before you understand? Waste!"
Jiang Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing that the sloppy man was about to be attacked, Prince Ling said calmly, "Mr. Sun, please be calm."
Jiang Heng glanced at the wooden sign in front of the sloppy man's case, and saw that his name was "Sun Ying". The crowd stopped talking.
Prince Ling also said: "Yong Guo never mentioned this person's mother, and Juicong has not been renewed since the death of his original wife. Now people in the Five Kingdoms guess that one of the more reliable sources is that Juicong is Juicy. Cong was born with a foreigner, and it was related to the marriage contract with the Ji family. Our scouts think that maybe this prince has a generational blood."
The leader of the gatekeepers of Zheng Guo, the old man seemed not to be surprised by this, and said slowly: "Duo Dao Jue Miao's use of troops is very fast and silent, making him act as a forward, it is really hard to resist. The mountain has become the first barrier of our country, and it must be re-armed."
The leader of Liang Guomen's guest, someone said: "Sitting and waiting for death, why is it a good policy? The large plains to the west of Laoshan are our main field, why not first ambush and wait for Jumiao to lead the troops out of the customs, and then make an appointment to fight, and the battle will end in the first battle. All work?"
Then, the two factions began to discuss whether it is better to refuse the best strategy or take the initiative to meet the enemy. The rest of the scattered disciples watched the Zheng and Liang factions discussing with a cold eye.
Apparently, before coming, Prince Ling had discussed with Che Yu first, and after thinking about it, he couldn't get rid of these two methods after all, and said, "Bring the sand table, gentlemen, please deduce it first."
The guards presented the sand table, and the rest left their seats and stood up. Jiang Heng glanced from a distance, only to hear the sloppy man named Sun Ying scolded "a waste of time", and continued to sit and drink.
"Why did Mr. Sun say this?" Prince Ling didn't get angry, just glanced at Sun Ying calmly.
"The upper armies will attack the plot, and then they will be attacked, and then the soldiers will be attacked, and the lower ones will attack the city." Sun Ying was asked by Prince Ling, but answered seriously, "What do the people of Liang Guo eat? Wait for us to defend the city for them? The in-laws of yours, the eight characters have not been written yet, and they know that Yongdu will send troops, they will not care?"
The crowd had already started to line up, but Che Huo ignored Sun Ying's scolding and stared at the deductions of the crowd in front of Laoshan Mountain. Laoshan is a strategic location for Zheng Guo to guard the Central Plains, and it is also a buffer for thousands of miles between Yubi Pass and Luoyang. As soon as Laoshan was broken, Zheng Shi's natural danger was the first to bear the brunt, followed by a large area of Liang's territory.
Prince Ling replied: "If General Zilu is still here, it is impossible for him to lead the troops in person and go out of Laoshan. At that time, Liang Guo will also send troops to defend the strong enemy together."
"Your uncle has long since died." Sun Ying said still rudely, "Putting your hopes on the coalition forces is useless, we should think of other ways."
Prince Ling looked surprised, not knowing why, Sun Ying had previously said, "The first is to attack the plot, and the second is to attack the cross", but he has put an end to the possibility of summoning the Liang Kingdom and sending troops together. What is his attitude
Jiang Heng finally spoke and said, "Mr. Sun meant to change direction."
Prince Ling turned towards Jiang Heng and said, "What can you teach me, Mr. Luo?"
Jiang Heng and Sun Ying looked at each other, Sun Ying smirked, but Jiang Heng shook his head slowly, indicating that he couldn't say this now.
Crown Prince Ling saw all the talk in the hall, and could not discuss the result, so he had to go back to the sand table without talking to Jiang Heng. The conclusion has come out, and the refusal faction has won a big victory. According to the sand table deduction, it is not difficult to give up the plains and hold the Weishan pass.
"But this is the vanguard troop facing the enemy." Che Yu said coldly, "Behind Juiciao, there are 25,000 people from Jue Ling, next, 50,000 cavalry from Ju Cong, and finally Zeng Yu The 20,000 Yubiguan troops led by him."
"It can be stopped," replied the leader of Zheng Guomen's guests, "just avoid facing the enemy head-on."
"Then Liang Kingdom will be finished," Prince Ling replied, "as long as they occupy the Songhe area, hold our forces, bypass Luoyang, descend along the Anhe River, and enter the Liang Kingdom. If the water is flooded, they can go around completely. Crossing the Laoshan Mountain and marching along the Xundong area, it is also dangerous to cross the ground, and the father is crossing the ground, what should I do?"
There was silence in the hall, and a doorman said: "Block their army first, and then adapt accordingly. This is the only way out of nowhere."
Prince Ling was noncommittal and left first, and everyone dispersed. Jiang Heng glanced at the sand table deduction, and saw that several places were even wrongly marked with the terrain orientation. In the chaos, the crowds of people worked together, but it would also lead to many problems in the blind command.
Che Yu was still looking at the sand table and looked at Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng smiled helplessly, and neither of them spoke.
"Practice your hands?"
Sun Ying got up and said to Jiang Heng, "I heard that you have a very special sword."
Jiang Heng said: "It turns out that in the palace, did the news go so fast? The younger generation is not good at learning, why doesn't Mr. Sun ask others for advice?"
Sun Ying sneered: "Forget it, I know you don't have the guts."
Jiang Heng looked at Sun Ying, got up after a while, and said, "Let's do a few tricks then."
For four years, Jiang Heng followed Luo Xuan and learned a little martial arts from him. It is said that if you learn half a bookshelf of martial arts secrets in Haige, you can become one of the masters in the world. After reading an entire bookshelf, you will be number one in the world. .
Luo Xuan majored in poison art, and his swordsmanship was far inferior to Xiang Zhou.
This led to Jiang Heng not knowing what state his martial arts had reached now, maybe he would be knocked to the ground by Sun Ying if he met face to face. But he was still a young man, and when he heard this proposal, he couldn't help itching.
So the two threw down the guests at the Prince's Mansion. Jiang Heng took it and put it around his fingers softly. With a slight shake, the soft sword stretched and reflected the sunlight, forming a light sword as thin as a cicada's wings.
"Three-legged cat kung fu," Jiang Heng said, "please teach me Mr. Sun."
"It's easy to say." With a smile on the corner of Sun Ying's mouth, she shook her left hand, and two iron claws appeared in her hand. They rubbed gently in the garden for a few times, bowed slightly, and kept an eye on Jiang Heng's every move.
Jiang Heng turned sideways, flicked his long sword, and swept away like a gust of wind with Luo Xuan in the division!
At the end of autumn, the red leaves were all over the sky. Following Jiang Heng's figure, the maple leaves were flying. I do not know when, in all directions, a small number of guards from the Prince's Mansion gathered. Long Yu's figure was looming in the maple forest, watching Sun Ying and Jiang Heng.
The soft sword light flew around his fingers, and went straight to Sun Ying's empty door. Sun Ying raised his hand and dragged the steel claw across the sword's edge, but he always avoided confronting the iron-sharp magic weapon in Jiang Heng's hand. The steel claws are incomparably sharp, and the trick Sun Ying uses is to ignore his own empty door, and attack Jiang Heng like a stormy sea!
Sun Ying abandoned the defense to attack, Jiang Heng naturally couldn't stab him in the throat with a sword and take his life, so he had to withdraw his sword and return to the defense, turning into a small boat with steel claws flying across the air, following Sun Ying's momentum. Ups and downs.
"Okay!" Sun Ying couldn't break Jiang Heng's defense with several strong attacks, and cheered, "Has this sword killed anyone?"
"I'm ashamed to say it," Jiang Heng's shirt fluttered, leaping up the tree in a few steps, spinning with his body, the sword's body was either soft or steel, one move turned into thousands of moves, blocking Sun Ying's retreat, with a smile in his eyes, Said, "I haven't, not even seen blood."
Sun Ying retreated again and again, turned to hide behind the tree, and said solemnly: "I would like to have this honor, but it's a pity that the weapon of the magic weapon cannot easily see blood."
As soon as Jiang Heng retracted his sword, he suddenly reminded: "Be careful!"
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Heng held a Zheng coin knife coin in his hand. As soon as Sun Ying appeared from behind the tree, the knife coin drew a light and flew away!
Sun Ying never expected that Jiang Heng was holding a sword in his right hand and planning a hidden weapon in his left hand, and suddenly retreated. Fortunately, Jiang Heng reminded him first, dodged the hidden weapon in an instant, and hit a maple tree on his back.
In an instant, the soft sword in Jiang Heng's hand shook, turned straight, and touched Sun Ying's throat.
Sun Ying had her back against the maple tree, her upper body was slightly tilted back, her fingers radiated softly and coldly, and she pointed directly at her neck.
There was silence all around, a maple leaf left the branch and fell on the soft sword around the fingers, silently, and split in half.
After a few breaths, there was a cheer in the distance, followed by the roar of the guards of the Prince's Mansion.
"Assignment, taking advantage of the weapon." Jiang Heng took the sword, and roughly knew that he had learned a few swordsmanship from Luo Xuan. In today's world, what kind of position is it? The knight, there shouldn't be much of a problem, if you are swarmed, you might give up your sword and surrender.
Sun Ying smiled, left Jiang Heng without speaking, and finally looked up again. Jiang Heng followed his gaze and caught a glimpse of Prince Ling leaving.
