When he got up early in the morning, Han Chao, the envoy stationed in Wei and Han, walked around the street and then walked into a wine shop.

Compared with Da Liang, Luoyang, the new capital of Wei State, was just a new city. But what is incredible is that this new city was just built not long ago, and even though some of the buildings in the city are still not perfect, the city has become extremely prosperous.

.

When Han Chao first arrived in Daliang, his evaluation of Daliang was: This is a big city no less important than Handan.

But now that he saw this Luoyang City, Han Chao didn't know how to evaluate it - although there are still many aspects of this capital that are unsatisfactory, its scale is destined to become one of the most prosperous cities in the entire Central Plains.

Just like the Bolangsha Port City back then.

Choosing a restaurant at random, Han Chao sat down in the corner. When a waiter from the store came up to him, he said with a smile on his face: "Master guest, what would you like?"

"This person...should be a Yinrong person, right? But I don't know which tribe he is from."

After judging the appearance of this shop assistant, Han Chao secretly thought to himself that after all, the appearance of people from Sanchuan and Wei was slightly different.

But apart from that, this shopkeeper speaks Wei language and wears Wei clothes. Unless he is someone like Han Chao who has been in Wei for many years, he is really rare for people from other countries.

You have to be able to see it.

"Have a glass of wine."

Han Chao also spoke in Wei Yan: "What kind of wine do you have here?"

"It depends on what you want." The waiter wiped the table with a rag and said with a smile: "There are ordinary fruit wines and Shangdang spirits..." As he said, he slowly listed more than a dozen kinds of wines.

The name of the class.

Han Chao pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "Is there any Korean chestnut wine?"

The shop clerk was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Korean chestnut wine, there are only ordinary and good Korean chestnut wines. Our store is small and we can't get it..."

Han Chao nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's have a pot of ordinary chestnut bar."

"This... is good." The shop clerk glanced at Han Chao with a strange expression, but quickly covered it up. In fact, Han Chao also understood the reason. After all, although chestnut wine is said to have the effect of strengthening the body and spleen,

Compared with traditional wine, it still has a slightly strange taste. Wei people, mainly the nobles of Wei, usually only drink two glasses at lunch and dinner, and do not drink chestnut wine early in the morning.

"As for the food..." Han Chao thought for a while and said, "Let's have a plate of mutton, man, is the meat in your store fresh?"

"It depends on what you said." The shop clerk said with a smile: "This is Luoyang, which is only more than twenty miles away from Luocheng. The mutton transported to the city is all freshly killed."

"That's true."

Nodding secretly, Han Chao ordered: "Then serve a plate of mutton, and you can order two or three of the other side dishes."

"Okay." The waiter responded and left, and a moment later he came over with a pot of chestnut wine.

Han Chao reached for the wine bottle, poured a glass into the cup, and tasted it carefully.

Of course, ordinary chestnut wine is not as pure and rich in flavor as the chestnut wine that Korea donated to the Wei royal family, but Han Chao really missed the wine of his homeland after being away from his homeland for many years.

And more of them miss their family members who are still in their homeland.

Not to mention, as an envoy to Wei, staying in the capital of Wei State is not a problem, food and accommodation are not a problem, but it is a bit lonely. A few days ago, his colleague Zhao Zhuo went to Wei State as an envoy. Han Chao was very excited to have a few nights of drinking with this colleague.

, but unfortunately, after the beginning of spring, Zhao Zhuo returned to South Korea, so that Han Chao was the only one left here.

While eating wine and food, Han Chao missed his family members in his homeland.

At this moment, two people dressed as businessmen walked in from the wine shop and sat down next to Han Chao.

"Wei people? Han people? Qi people? Chu people? Or maybe people from Qin and Wei?"

Out of instinct as a messenger, Han Chao glanced at the two people and immediately had several guesses in his mind, but he didn't pay attention to it. After all, Luoyang was similar to Bolangsha Port City, full of all kinds of things.

crowd.

I remember that a while ago, Han Chao met several Jie people from Nanyang in Luoyang. Through conversation, he learned that these Jie people were specially escorting a group of slaves to Luoyang for delivery with the Lun tribe. They stopped by to see them on the way.

See Luoyang, the current capital of the Wei Dynasty.

At this time, the two merchants had ordered food and drinks and sat down to talk to each other.

"Brother Li, you have been doing jade business in Qin for the past two years, but have you made a fortune?"

"Brother Wang is joking. All the fine jade stones are in the hands of Qin State's Lantian Jun Ying. How can we get them? We just need to get some scraps and transport them to Qi State to fool the Qi people.

That's all...not to mention, the people of Qi like jade even more than the people of Wei. In Qi these days, if you don't wear a jade of better quality, you will be embarrassed to go out and say hello to others."

"Hahaha……"

"Speaking of which, where has Brother Wang made his fortune in recent years?"

"What's the point of making a fortune? It's just making a living under "Wen Bancheng"."

"Wen Bancheng? Could it be that the wealthy man from Anling, Wen Shaobo, who was rumored to be able to buy half a beam?" the businessman called Brother Li asked in surprise.

"It's Mr. Wen." The merchant, who was called Brother Wang, said with some pride.

"Is Mr. Wen a wealthy man in Anling?"

Han Chao glanced at the two merchants, thinking deeply.

The world only knows that "Young Uncle Anling Wen" is the most expelled big businessman in the Wei State, but they don't know that this man is the royal merchant of Wei King Zhao Run. When the Wei State secretly sold him a batch of armaments that had been eliminated by the domestic army in South Korea,

In order to deceive others, it was Wen Shaobo's private ship that was used instead of being handled by the Ministry of Household Affairs of the State of Wei.

But having said that, although Wen Shaobo is known as the richest man in Wei, only a few people know that the wealth in Wen Shaobo's hands does not entirely belong to him, but to Wei Wang Zhao Run. Wei Wang Zhao Run holds it in his hands

With such a huge fortune, and Wen Shaobo, who was good at making money through trade, he was taking care of it for him. Therefore, whenever he encountered financial problems when implementing new policies, the Wei king had full confidence.

In contrast, although Han Ran, the monarch of South Korea, has regained the royal power, his treasury is not rich. Whenever the country needs to invest funds, he still needs to discuss it with the country's nobles in a good manner. When he thinks of this,

Han Chao was worried about his Korean monarch Han Ran.

Compared with Zhao Run, the king of Wei who had military power and deep wealth, Han Wangran was in a really difficult situation.

While Han Chao was feeling emotional, the merchant named Brother Wang said while eating wine and food: "By the way, Brother Li, have you heard that the Yanling Army has been transferred to the north?"

"Are they the garrison of Yanling city who opposes you Anling in everything?" Brother Li said with a smile.

"The dispute between Anyan, right?" Brother Wang said with a smile: "Has this matter been spread here? In fact, the grievances between the two cities have been resolved long ago, and what is left is a battle of loyalty. Compared with

After all, the "boundary stone" built by His Majesty at the boundary between the two counties was more dangerous. As a result, the elders of the two counties refused to give in. When I returned to Anling last year, I represented Anling County in a tug of war with the Yanling people...

…”

"Who wins and who loses?" Brother Li asked with a smile.

"Brother Li, aren't you asking questions knowingly?" Brother Wang waved his hand awkwardly, then changed the subject and said, "Let's go back to the Yanling Army. Do you know where Yanling was transferred?"

"where?"

"Northern Xinjiang!" Brother Wang lowered his voice and said, "The Yanling Army has been transferred to the Handan area. Looking at this, we, the Wei Dynasty, may have to go to war with the Wei State."

『!!』

When Han Chao heard this sentence suddenly, his expression suddenly changed.

At this time, Brother Li said doubtfully: "That's not true, is it? Didn't it mean that the Wei Dynasty has stopped going to war abroad in recent years? Your Majesty is not a militant person."

"Who knows, your Majesty and the imperial court may have their own plans." Brother Wang shrugged and said, "Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for me, the Wei Dynasty, to lose..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly noticed that Han Chao was looking at them intently, and turned his head in confusion.

Seeing this, Han Chao quickly raised his hands and said, "Two virtuous brothers, but I don't know if the "Yanling Army Northward Transfer" thing you just talked about is true?"

Maybe it was because Han Chao was dressed as a Wei man at the moment, so the two merchants didn't care much. Brother Wang smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Wang just returned to Luoyang from Anling. Before I set off, the Yanling Army

We have already begun to mobilize troops to northern Xinjiang, and I am afraid they have passed through Daliang by now."

Hearing this, Han Chao couldn't help but panic.

You must know that although the Yanling Army is not as famous as the Shangshui Army, in fact, the strength of this army is not much inferior to that of the Shangshui Army. It is also a direct soldier of the "Suwang Army" at that time, and the army has talented people.

Ji Ji, like General Qu Cheng and Deputy General Yan Mo, were both excellent generals who were good at commanding troops in battle.

"Are Wei and South Korea serious about going to war?"

"I can't say for sure." Brother Wang took a sip of wine and broke another shocking news: "I am very sure about the Yanling Army. In addition, I also heard that the Anti-Rebel Army seems to have been transferred.

I went to northern Xinjiang, and I don’t know if it’s true.”

"Suppress, suppress the rebels?"

Han Chao's heart beat violently.

It’s no wonder that the commander-in-chief of the anti-rebellion army is Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo. Although this person has announced that he has resigned from the military and General Pang Huan is in charge of the army, it cannot be denied that as long as Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo is still alive, then,

The anti-rebellion army was deeply engraved with the imprint of this prince.

And Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, was the hero who defeated South Korea in three northern Xinjiang battles and directly or indirectly contributed to Wei's three victories. In these three wars, apart from Wei Wang Zhao Run, this person had the greatest contribution.

Han Chao felt his heart beat faster at the thought of such a person being transferred to Northern Xinjiang again.

After returning to the posthouse in confusion, Han Chao felt more and more wrong. He hurriedly inquired around. After inquiring, he learned that what the merchant surnamed Wang said was exactly the same. The Yanling Army and the Suppression Army of Wei State did indeed come from Anling.

, the Dingtao area was transferred to the north at the same time.

At the same time, he also found out that compared to the unusual military actions on the Wei side, Korea also transferred the Shanggu Army, Daijun Army, and Beiyan Army to the Wu'an, Bairen, and Julu areas.

In other words, before long, the number of troops facing each other at the border between Wei and Han will be close to 300,000.

"What on earth is going on? What on earth happened?"
