Wang was just about to speak, but was frightened by the shouts outside and stopped instantly.

Several palace maids ran in hurriedly, and helped the king get dressed in a panic, quickly and neatly.

They are all people who hang out in the palace, so they naturally know some rules and so on.

Loud noise is absolutely not allowed.

Moreover, the sound of horse hooves was heard before, which means that the messenger rode a war horse all the way to the palace, and then came here again.

This is the first time this has happened in Han Dynasty.

It had only been two years since the founding of the country, and this kind of thing had never happened before, so everyone was a little uncomfortable with it, but they still took action quickly.

Wang Buxian, who was fully dressed, frowned tightly.

Lu Jia will come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow with the prince of the Yuezhi. We don’t know what the good news is yet, but Wang Buxu thinks that there is a high probability that Lu Jia got war horses from the Yuezhi, and there are a lot of war horses.

I originally thought that everything was going smoothly, and I had enough time to make preparations before the Huns had the energy to go south.

But Wang Buxu was a little stunned by the sudden border emergency report, although he still didn't know what it contained.

After leaving the yard, the courier, who looked extremely tired and whose legs were even a little unsteady, quickly handed over the sealed bamboo tube.

Wang Buxu took the opportunity to take a look, and there were five small red flags planted behind the messenger's back.

This means that this is currently the highest level of intelligence transmission. Along the way, officials and civilians who dare to block and delay will be punished with serious crimes.

For the messenger, it is a great achievement to be able to send the letter back as soon as possible.

As soon as Wang Buxu took over the bamboo tube, the messenger fell to the ground.

"Let the imperial doctor come and take a look!" Wang Buxu was so surprised that he didn't bother to open the package and called someone quickly.

I saw that everyone around me was busy and just stood there waiting.

Wang Buxu opened the bamboo tube and found that it was not Zhang Buyi who was on duty today. The guard held a lantern in front of him with a wink, twisting his head as far back as possible.

After looking at what was written on the silk cloth inside, Wang Bu was so angry that he wanted to curse.

"Summon Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Xiao He, Peng Yue, Guan Ying, Han Xin, Wang Li, Zhang Han..."

"No!" The Imperial Guards officer on duty next to him could not help but tighten his expression.

This emergency report with five flags at the border made him nervous. Now Wang Buxu summoned so many ministers in one go.

Except for the three prime ministers, the rest were all generals. Even if they were fools, they realized the seriousness of the problem at this moment.

He quickly named a few people and assigned them their respective tasks.

The imperial army hurriedly ran out of the palace. Although the horse was fast enough, it would take a lot of time to go to the stable to get the horse.

Fortunately, the residences of these ministers are not far from the palace, basically apart from the palace.

At the same time, the imperial doctor also hurried over.

In an imperial family, the imperial physician is standard equipment. Basically, no matter where the emperor goes, the imperial physician will follow him.

When going to court, the imperial doctor was waiting in the side hall.

When we were in the meeting hall, the imperial doctor was waiting in the small courtyard less than fifty steps next door.

The harem also has its own dedicated medical doctors. When the king comes hungry, these medical doctors on duty will temporarily hang out with them to make ends meet.

Several imperial doctors hurriedly fiddled with the courier who was unconscious on the ground. Then they looked at the king and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Your Majesty, your physical exhaustion is too serious..."

"Can it be rescued?" Wang Buxu asked directly.

"It's hard to say, some precious medicinal materials may be used..." The imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead again.

"Help! If you need any medicinal materials, get them from the palace treasury!" Wang Buxu waved his hand without feeling any distress.

There is nothing in the palace treasury now, but there are too many good things.

Basically, all the good things from the Qin Palace have been moved here. All kinds of things. If this were brought to future generations, Wang Buxin would dare to say that he could become the richest man in the world just lying down.

But now, these things have no effect on him.

It was quite common in ancient times for a messenger to die from exhaustion after delivering the letter to its destination.

Not to mention the messenger who ran all the way back from the border.

Although he is just an ordinary messenger, he is willing to spend his life to complete his mission. As a monarch, how can he be stingy with those external things?

With Wang Buxu's order, the imperial doctor began to call on several imperial soldiers to help carry the messenger away.

Of course, he was carried to the place where the imperial doctor lived. The only advantage of the palace was that the place where he lived was basically where he worked. After all, the profession of the imperial doctor required him to be on call at all times.

At the beginning, the medicines used by the imperial doctors were not many and were not expensive.

First I replenished my body with saline water, but the injection technology doesn’t exist at all now, so I can only replenish it by drinking.

Then there were some warming and tonic medicinal materials that were mild in nature and not so effective. Then some precious medicinal materials were prescribed, and it was stated that these medicinal materials do not need to be taken. Just find them first and use them when needed.

.

On the other side, Wang Buxu came to the meeting hall with a silk cloth in hand.

The palace people quickly started to light various lamps, but the speed was not fast enough, so the guards had to come in person to help.

Soon, the entire meeting hall was as bright as day.

If it had been in the past, Wang Buxu would have counted and lit at least a hundred lanterns out of boredom.

But today he had no such intention. He kept picking up the silk cloth and reading it over and over again, thinking of countermeasures in his mind.

Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard outside.

The ministers who live in the capital are basically smart and discerning.

Even if they ignore it themselves, some people who want to make friends will remind them.

Therefore, when the guards arrived at their house, without exception, almost everyone was dressed neatly and waiting for news.

Today, Luoyang has implemented a curfew. Except for the Forbidden Army, no one without a Forbidden Army warrant is allowed to walk on the road.

Of course, there are exceptions, including ministers who leave from the palace or official office and their route is home, and officials who have received approval from the official office.

It is common to work overtime now, and we cannot prevent people from going home just because they work overtime.

So this system came into being, and those who patrolled and stood guard also knew where the minister's home was and the route he took home every day.

If a stranger appears in the place you are guarding, you must go forward and question him.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Liang and others looked at Wang Buxu, who was sitting there with a frown on his face, and quickly saluted.

Wang Buxu directly handed the silk cloth down and let them look at it by themselves.

And he himself was not idle, and said: "The Huns suddenly attacked the Yuezhi, and a tribe of the Yuezhi suffered heavy losses. The Yuezhi people ran to the border and said that one of the tribes attacked by the Huns this time promised to give us something.

There are 50,000 war horses, and the other is a report from the scouts. Shadows of Huns scouts have appeared all over the north!"

This is a two-in-one piece of information, perhaps just by chance.

Two pieces of information were received at the same time, so they were compiled into one and sent back.

Whether it's the incident of fifty thousand war horses or the presence of scouts in various places in the north, either of these two incidents qualifies for the issuance of the five-flag specification.

It wasn't his turn to read the letter yet, but after listening to Wang Buxu's dictation, Guan Ying frowned instantly.

"Your Majesty, it's not easy to deal with this at this time..." Guan Ying wished he could frown to the point of his scalp.

He said it's hard to handle, but it's really hard to handle.

At present, only Han Xin's 50,000 people have an idea. They have all the personnel and everything. They will gather in Hedong in ten days.

After Han Xin attended the enthronement ceremony four days later, he would go directly to Hedong to join his troops and head north.

At present, the Han Dynasty has only 50,000 people who can mobilize.

All the original troops were sent home, and the original plan was to issue reform orders at the coronation ceremony, and then directly announce the plan, and start a new round of recruitment in various places.

According to this plan, the new Han army will be fully formed and preliminary training completed within half a year.

But now, the signs of war suddenly came, which disrupted the deployment of the Ministry of War.

"Your Majesty, this time is a bit unreasonable!" Chen Ping said suddenly.

"Oh? Why is it unreasonable?" Wang Buxuan asked quickly.

He didn't want to give up the 50,000 horses, but he also didn't dare to ignore the warning that the Huns wanted to start a war.

The defense in the northern part of the empire is now very empty, or in other words, it is almost an undefended line of defense.

The new army will not be in place until at least the middle of next year, and the previous army is the Great Wall Army led by Wang Li.

Now these people are all in their hometown in Guanzhong. Previously, the Han Kingdom did not need to worry about the northern defense line. Now that the family has a big business, all aspects need to be considered.

"Some time ago, I heard that the main force of the Huns seems to be still some distance away from the Yueshi. According to reports, the Huns should launch an offensive after the beginning of spring. Why is it suddenly advanced now?" Chen Ping asked in confusion.

There are certain rules for launching wars.

The Han army needed to prepare, and the Huns also needed to prepare.

And winter is coming soon. Maybe it has started to snow in the north. Is it time to start a war?

No matter what Chen Ping thinks, he feels it is unreasonable.

"Could it be that the Huns knew about our mission to Yuezhi?" Xiao He said suddenly.

The purpose of the Han Dynasty's mission to the Yuezhi was to get war horses, and the Yuezhi people agreed, although they still don't know what they agreed to?

But the Huns would definitely know the news before them. The distance was one of the reasons. The speed of news transmission on the grassland was also faster.

In addition, as they are both nomadic people, it is easier for the Huns to obtain information about the Yuezhi people than it is for the Han people.

If the Huns knew that the purpose of Han's request for war horses was to deal with the Huns, it would not be surprising to take action in advance.

"There is such a possibility. If it were us, we would never allow such a thing to happen, but launching a war in winter and on the grassland is too difficult!" Zhang Liang also nodded.

Wang Buxu has been thinking about the reasons behind this matter.

It may be possible that it has been discovered, but is there another possibility?
