The Rise of the Marquis

Chapter 6 Zhao Guo
Wang Jian didn't pay too much attention to Daddy Cheap, because he has no sense of belonging to this world, only curiosity.

But at the moment he also understands that the first thing to do is to protect his own safety. He cannot escape from this vortex. If the army of the Han Dynasty attacks, he will not be able to protect himself in the chaotic army. Let alone a mortal body, even if he is an out-and-out Jin Cultivator Dan, even among thousands of troops, it is difficult to get all of them.

The next day, when the sun was rising, the Boulevard on the top of the isolated mountain was particularly conspicuous when the sun was shining on the earth. Half of it was resplendent and resplendent, and the other half was dark. The two small moons in the sky became blurred in the east.

Secretary Sun Difang got up early in the morning to brush her teeth with a stick, looked at the sky and said, "The foggy moon is coming."

After yesterday's busy day, the garrison in the fort was reduced to only one-third of its original size, and the guards at the gate changed from a team of four to only one person. No more forts.

The rest of the soldiers got up early, as if nothing happened yesterday, and continued to talk and laugh as they walked towards the school grounds. The soldiers of the nobles were professional soldiers, and training martial arts was their daily priority.

Some people talked about the enduring topic of Wu Tongbing's superb swordsmanship, or Gong Tongbing's excellent marksmanship.

Some people whispered about the fresh joke that the young master almost drowned himself in the bath yesterday, and gathered in twos and threes at the school field in the fortress.

Until at a certain moment, the atmosphere began to condense, the people in front stopped joking and joking, and those behind also realized that something was wrong, and leaned forward one after another. Afterwards, they all witnessed the scene where their jaws dropped. Standing shirtless on the school grounds, holding a long gun and practicing stabbing at the stakes.

Even though many people have witnessed and heard it with their own eyes, this scene is still unbelievable like a dream.

The young master was dripping with sweat, obviously he had practiced for a long time.

"What are you standing there for? The time is coming, be careful with the instructor." It wasn't until the young master reminded that everyone came back to their senses and rushed to the old instructor's place on the other side of the school field, but their suspicious eyes never stopped.

Until the second day, the third day, the fourth day.
Every day, the young master would show up on the school grounds on time, stabbing the straw man again and again with his gun, until he was panting and sweating profusely, and everyone finally believed and accepted this change.

The reason why Wang Jian did this was because he found that there were not many ways to strengthen his body other than this method. He would still use green mustard vines to strengthen his body every day, but he only dared to use a little, and more could only rely on exercise.

Wang Jian was already desperate for resuming cultivation, and now he only hoped to strengthen his physique so that his soul could live in peace.

The reason why he chose to practice spearmanship is because it is practical on the battlefield and has a good life-saving effect. He also knows a lot of spearmanship.

In the next few days, scouts kept reporting that Dad was always handling these things on the tower, but Wang Jian could hear their reports clearly even if he was under the tower.

After six or seven days of scouting and scouting, the forward had crossed Sentinel Ridge and was approaching the boundary of Heyin County.

Sentinel Ridge is located in the southwest of Heyang, where there is a village with a post station. It is the area where the scouts of the Boulevard Castle rest and turn back when they go south. The messengers and merchants from the south will also rest there, hence the name.

Wang Jian's surviving memories also include that there was an old willow tree surrounded by several people. Passers-by did not want to enter the dark and low inn, but liked to sit around the roots of the old willow tree to enjoy the shade.

Going south for another day from there is already the boundary of the Heyin Territory.

According to the reports from the scouts, they found some tents, traces of slaughtering cattle and sheep, and traces of lighting fires. However, the number of people was not large, and they needed to go deeper. to the southeast.

There is a problem here. It is about to cross the border and enter the nearby Heyin Territory, which involves cross-border issues.

And Heyin belongs to the territory of Mu Sheng, one of the six Zhengqings of the Zhao Kingdom, the Duke of Zomaling, and the relationship between the Mu family and the Wang family is not good.

Because behind the Wang family is another Zhengqing, the general of Zhao State and Lishi Gong Wu Mi. At the beginning, Wang Lie rose up as Wu Mi's personal soldier general in the war against Loufan in the northwest, and he was also under Wu Mi's operation. He became a marquis and gained his current status step by step.

Now the foreigner is likely to be at the junction of Heyang and Heyin, or in the territory of Heyin, and a rash search may provoke a conflict.

This is the shortcoming of feudal countries, separate governance.

After that, Wang Jian also heard how his father handled it.

The old man was very cautious. On the one hand, he sent people to Lishi to inform the situation, so as not to make the general Wu Mi suspect that they had contacted the Mu family privately. He also sent people to Handan, the capital city, to inform the monarch, hoping that the monarch would coordinate the matter.

Wang Jian shook his head when he heard this. In this way, going back and forth and communicating with all parties, an investigation will take at least a month. If the relationship between the two parties is not handled well, the two parties have objections, or delays, it may take more time.

It's just a reconnaissance
With such an effect, if it really touches with the Han Dynasty under the imperial system of the whole country, it will be like sitting on an emerald with bare buttocks - hitting a stone with an egg.

After breaking away from the Han Dynasty, in order to show resistance to the Han Dynasty, different from the Han Dynasty, and also under the influence of many old aristocratic warlords in the country, Zhao Guo restored the Liuqing system in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Because the system of the Spring and Autumn Period, the aristocratic lords ruled the world, which was of great benefit to the powerful local warlords.

As a result, the political system of Zhao State became a combination of military and government, with six ministers in charge of the government, and at the same time, the commanders-in-chief of the six armies of the country, mastering the six tiger charms.

The Sixth Army is the main and deputy upper army, the main and deputy middle army, and the main and deputy lower army.

The nobles tacitly assume that the main army will be in charge of the ruling minister, and the ruling secretary will be changed every six years, and the six ministers will jointly decide on the new candidate when it expires.

As for being conferred by the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty as the lineage of the Zhang family of Zhao Wang, the current monarch of Zhao State is more like a decoration and a symbol.

It is the current situation of Zhao State that the ministers are more important than the emperor. When the intensity of the war is weakened and the threat of the Han Dynasty is reduced, the centralization of power will inevitably be weakened, and this kind of development has become a natural thing.

These days, Wang Jian trained with soldiers on the school field every day to improve his physical strength, and at the same time, he used his spiritual consciousness to pay attention to the events on the tower tens of meters away, and learned more about the surrounding situation and the internal situation of Zhao State.

And the more you get to know him, the more you understand a truth, that is, it is almost impossible to rely on the army of a feudal country like Zhao to resist the army of the Han Dynasty. Not as good as the Han Empire.

This gave him a deep sense of crisis, and he also understood his father's worries better.

If the Han Dynasty really planned to move eastward, the situation would be desperate. Wang Jian realized that if he wanted to protect himself, if he wanted to live well in the future, he had to think of other ways to break the situation from other places.

What should we do?He couldn't do anything for a while, and with his current status, he was far from being able to affect any situation.
