Chapter 246: A Tripartite Plan
"Bronze hoe?!"
Li Xin looked at the copper sheet quietly, as if it had fallen from the small hoe of the person collecting the medicine.
However, the Shang, Zhou, and even Qin, hoes were still made of stone, and bronze was too precious to be hard enough as a farm tool, except for war, which was used for sacrifice.
"The most important thing in the land of Bashu is stone, who can use a bronze hoe to pick herbs?" Li Xin was extremely puzzled.
Zhao Ji's expression changed slightly, and she regained her calm in an instant.
"Commander Li Xin didn't know that the people of Bashu had written the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which recorded mountains and rivers, witch doctors and fairy grass. People who come to the land of Bashu to find fairy grass use the agricultural tools that are valuable. Zhao Ji explained that she did not directly guess that the person who picked the fairy grass in the story was her father.
"I see." Li Xin nodded as if he didn't understand.
"The Sword Pavilion has been a fortress of Bashu since it was first established, and it must have been left behind by someone looking for fairy grass and coming to the Sword Pavilion, so there must be a strange way." Zhao Ji continued.
Li Xin took out the map from his bosom and put it under the torch to examine it carefully.
The Sword Pavilion is located on the plank road in the mountains, and the most dangerous place up and down is almost vertical, and controlling the Sword Pavilion is controlling the Golden Bull Road, which is also the reason why the Qin army can easily pass this.
If you go to the southwest, you can enter Bashu, but the danger is incomparable, and it is absolutely impossible to pass.
"What is the word of Madame?" Li Xin frowned and asked.
Zhao Ji stepped forward, stretched out his hand and slashed towards the northwest direction of the Sword Pavilion, and then pointed to the south.
"This is the way?!" Li Xin looked to the northwest, although it was slower than the southern slope, but it was also steep.
"In the past, people who sought fairy grass walked this way." Zhao Ji gestured to the copper plate and said, "Go from this road, maybe you can also see the king." β
"Your Majesty? Wang Shang is not in Hanzhong County? Li Xin was taken aback.
Zhao Ji suddenly smiled bitterly, "The king should be in danger at this moment, if Commander Li Xin doesn't support again, I'm afraid he will be trapped in the mountains." β
"Sure enough, it's messing around!"
Li Xin put away the map and put it back in his arms.
"Pass on the order of the commander, 5,000 men and horses stay here to support the soldiers in front, and the rest of the soldiers and the commander Rao Dao will go west!" Li Xin shouted to the herald to the side.
"No!" Zhao Ji stopped and said, "Only Mrs. Ben knows where the strange way is, and no matter how many soldiers Commander Li leads, it will be useless." Commander Li needs to stay here to fight against the generals of Bashu. In addition, Commander Li could only leave the 5,000 men in front of him, otherwise Lady Ben would not be able to help the king. β
"Only five thousand?!" Li Xin was suddenly indignant in his heart, "Madame doesn't know, Zhang Er has gone to Bashu, if he colludes with the Bashu defenders, the minister can only refuse the Sword Pavilion and defend it, and he has no power to move forward!" β
"Then it's okay to refuse, the king's original intention is to let Commander Li contain the enemy army, and the fewer troops used, the better." Zhao Ji deliberately said bluntly.
Li Xin's expression froze, in his past consciousness, 200,000 was less.
Only 5,000 was left for him today? It's just a containment use!
Li Xin was silent for a long time, and muttered angrily, "Everything is arranged by Madame..."
"Then thank you to Commander Li Xin."
Zhao Ji gave up his hand, and the herald reluctantly ran down the Sword Pavilion to convey the order.
.....
In the early morning of the next day, the Bashu army camped.
Zhang Er, who was extremely sleepy, squinted his eyes slightly, and sat in front of Kong Yan, Chen He was still sleeping soundly on the ground.
Kong Wei looked at the haggard Zhang Er, with a disdainful face, "I also heard that King Changshan followed Ziying, I didn't believe it, but when I saw it today, it was actually like this." Zhao Ren's life is really worthless. β
"Ziying promised to help the king restore the country, why not?" Zhang Er was suddenly displeased and said with a refuge.
"I see." Kong Yan sneered, "For the sake of profit, you can forget hatred, King Changshan really makes me look at it differently." β
Zhang Er's face twitched slightly, "Confucius did not enter Qin, and this king doesn't know what the road to Bashu led by Confucius." If it comes through the land of Qin, the commander of Kong will also let the king... Quite high-minded. β
Kong Wei's eyes suddenly widened, he was the ninth grandson of Confucius, and he followed Liu Bang as early as when he was in Mangdang Mountain.
Kong Yi is a Confucian, Zhang Er is a chivalrous, although they did not meet in the early years, they only heard the name and couldn't get used to each other. Kong Wei also hates others to ridicule him with the name of his ancestors.
"Pei Gong was seized power, but the commander of Kong still worked hard to help Lu Pheasant guard the pass, is this what Confucius said, 'seeking for others and being disloyal'?" Zhang Er continued to sneer.
Kong Wei glared at Chen He on the ground, not wanting to explain.
"There is no need for King Changshan to bother about the affairs of Bashu, if King Changshan still remembers the old relationship with the king, let Li Xin withdraw from the Golden Bull Road and withdraw from the Sword Pavilion, and he will definitely help the king to restore the throne!" Kong Wei sneered.
"Why do the widows believe you? The Zhou brothers in Chu can all betray Pei Gong, how can the people from the land of Qi and Lu be loyal to Pei Gong? Zhang Er did not back down, "Confucius traveled around the world for the sake of high-ranking officials, and his descendants must be people who value righteousness in their mouths and profit in their hearts." It can be with Pei Gong or with Lu Pheasant. β
Zhang Er came here with a heart of persuasion, and he was angry and forgot the purpose of coming.
Kong Wei only knew that the brothers Zhou Ke and Zhou Chang were sent to Qin by Lu Pheasant, and they have not returned yet, so they don't know if they betrayed.
"Open your ears!" Kong Wei angrily slapped a few cases, drew his sword and stood up, "You are just an incompetent person with a chivalrous reputation, and the king of the dead country dares to come here arrogantly?" Believe it or not, the Commander will kill you today! β
"Since Commander Kong doesn't like to listen, he went to Chengdu with this king to see Pei Gong, this king wants to know if you still have the face to meet Pei Gong?!" Zhang Er glared angrily.
Chen He on the side was woken up, turned over and opened his eyes to look at the two, "How did King Changshan come?" β
"Come for Pei Gong!" Zhang Er said coldly.
"Pei Gong is now in Fuling, and he can't see him when he goes to Chengdu. Commander Kong accompanied King Changshan to Fuling, and it was okay to leave it to the Commander and the Commander of Tang here. Chen He took advantage of his laziness and said lazily.
"Commander Tang? Tang Li? After Tang Ju? When Zhang Er heard this name, his heart was even more unhappy.
Tang Li is the famous Wei doctor Tang Ju, Tang Ju once fought against the King of Qin, forcibly blocked the conspiracy of "Yi'an Mausoleum in Five Hundred Miles", and persuaded King Qin Zhao to send troops to rescue the Wei State besieged by the two kingdoms of Qi and Chu at the age of ninety.
In Zhang Er's heart, if this group of people does not let go, they will become Lu Pheasant's lackeys. Lobbyists are only deceived by rhetoric.
"Yes, it's him~" Chen He got up and said.
"You and the other three will follow Pei Gong from Mangdang Mountain, why did you betray here!" Zhang Er said angrily.
"Fart!" Kong Yan angrily burst into foul language, "This commander is thinking about Pei Gong everywhere, so it's not like you, colluding with Ziying to lead troops to attack him!" β
"This king attacked it for Pei Gong, and this king didn't attack and didn't see Lu Liliu and others!"
Chen He was sleepy-eyed, and he only felt that this old man and young man were particularly naΓ―ve.
"If the child enters Bashu, it is the land of the public cone, and the king of Changshan has made a wrong decision." Chen He said, "I have my own strategy to help Pei Gong. β
"Ziying is true to his word, even if he gets Bashu, he can still save Pei Gong's life. If you have any plans, just say it! Zhang Erqiu asked.
Chen He smiled suddenly, "If King Changshan asks Li Xin to withdraw his troops, the next plan can be implemented." Otherwise, it will be difficult to help the enemy,"
"Then you won't retreat?!" Zhang Er said urgently.
Chen He nodded slowly.
Zhang Er got up angrily and overturned the several cases in front of him, "You and the others are all traitors!" What kind of face do you have to say your words of loyalty here?! β
Kong Wei turned his back and didn't bother to pay any more attention.
Chen He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "King Changshan actually doesn't believe us, but I haven't said that King Changshan's attack on Bashu is to endanger Pei Gong." β
Endanger Pei Gong?!
Zhang Er suddenly sounded Liu Jiao, and he was so angry that he let Zhao Wu move his hand.
At this moment, he regretted it slightly, if Liu Bang knew about it, he would not forgive him, and he would have to hide it forever.
"Whatever you think! This king doesn't need to explain to you! Zhang Er said angrily.
Chen He squinted his eyes and thought deeply, and guessed that Zhang Er was not lightly bewitched by Ziying, and now it must be difficult to convince Zhang Er, and he needs to think of a trick to calculate Li Xin.
"King Changshan should know that Li Xin's group of people can't attack it." Chen He pretended to be difficult, "With such a stalemate, King Changshan's plan will not succeed, and his plan will not succeed." It's better like this..."
Chen He glanced at the treacherous look in the corner of his eyes, and whispered in his ear.
"Let Li Xin not move? Do you know how difficult it is to transport the Taurus Road? Qin Jun can bring rations with him on this trip, you are murdering! Zhang Er roared.
Chen He's eyes widened violently, and the reason why he whispered was that he didn't want Kong Yi to know, Zhang Er actually said it bluntly!
"King Changshan, don't be angry, this is just the next plan." Chen He wanted to retract this, "If King Changshan disagrees, he won't say anything more." β
"Why not?!" Kong Wei on the side became interested, "As long as Li Xin doesn't move, this commander will immediately hurry to the crossing of the rice cang road and contact the group of people." If it can be done, the 50,000-strong army will approach Chengdu, and the king will be able to regain the throne! β
"Shut up!" Chen He said urgently.
This plan is not for Kong Wei at all!
Although the Jinniu Dao Mountain is dangerous, if Li Xin wants to defend the Sword Gate Pass, Chen He wants to climb the mountain to surround them.
At that time, he could help Liu Bang with confidence.
As for Kong's plan, it will definitely cause civil strife in Bashu and give the Qin army a chance.
Li Xin, who can make archers carry shields, will never sit idly by if he finds out that the Bashu army has withdrawn!
Kong Yi didn't care at all, turned his face, and smiled at Zhang Er, "King Changshan doesn't know that Lu Pheasant has already brought his cronies to attack Linjiang." Most of the troops are in the Golden Bull and the rice warehouse. The generals stationed there are all Pei Gong's people, and such a big plan only needs to be said by King Changshan! β
Kong Wei's words were earnest, and Zhang Er was slightly moved by what he said.
Since they are all helping Liu Bang, it is really possible for Liu Bang to return to Bashu. But this plan can make Liu Bang regain Bashu.
"Commander Kong is really loyal, but this king misunderstood, hahaha..."Zhang Er laughed loudly, "In this case, this king will go back to the Sword Pavilion and inform him of this!" β
"King Changshan, wait..."Chen He shouted.
"Commander Chen has the best plan, and there is no need to think about other strategies."
Zhang Er smiled and rushed out of the Bashu camp.
......
Three days later, in the early morning, Ferris Ridge.
Ziying, Mao Qiao led a thousand people almost to the top of the mountain, holding a chisel to hold his breath, carefully digging this place that can be climbed.
"Your Majesty... Are you sure that's the way? I'm afraid that even agile apes can't climb this way, right? β
Mao Qiao, who was behind him, trembled in his legs. The freshly chiseled rocks stumbled down thousands of meters of mountain streams, silently.
"Risk... The danger is right. Ziying swallowed, "After this... The army can reach Jiangyoushu. When the time comes... The widow also came down from the sky..."
Mao Qiao cautiously looked back and forth at the mountain, there was no edge in front of him, and he was even far away behind, unable to turn back, so he could only move forward.
"At night, will the army still sleep against the mountain?" Mao Qiao asked.
"I'm afraid it should be..."
Ziying gritted her teeth and replied, and suddenly remembered that after Deng Ai passed the Motianling, he encountered an inscription by Zhuge Liang - "At the beginning of the second fire, someone crossed this." The two soldiers fought each other and soon died by themselves. β
The second fire is Sima Yan, the second is Deng Ai Deng Shizai, and Zhong Hui Zhong Shiji.
Deng Ai didn't know what he meant, but sighed that if Zhuge Liang had a hundred people guarding the Sky Ridge, they would all die here.
"Why do you need a hundred, dozens of people are enough." Ziying sighed secretly.
"Your Majesty, how many days will it take for your ministers to travel?" Mao Qiao asked cautiously.
"It should be... Sixteen and seventeenth. β
Ziying smiled bitterly, Deng Ai walked for 20 days until the west side of Motianling, and there was no place to dig it, so he rolled down the mountain wrapped in a blanket, and 3,000 people followed him down the mountain to Jiangyou Pass.
Ziying looked down at the mountain stream, and didn't know how Deng Ai could not fall to his death.
"Aiqing doesn't need to ask more, be careful of your step." Ziying said, "If you soldiers can go to Bashu safely, the widow will be rewarded." β
The army no longer cares about any reward, but only wants to be able to cross the mountain safely.
Mao Qiao's face was ugly, so he had to dig the mountain wall. Ziying Lida has already been dug in front of him, and he only needs to dig a little deeper to keep up with the footprints.
"Master Mao, the widow wants to know what King Hengshan wants to know about Daqin now...?" Ziying asked tentatively.
"Heart to Liu Bang." Mao Qiao replied succinctly.
Mao Qiao didn't say it directly, and Ziying immediately knew that Wu Rui was no longer Qin Chen's heart.
Wu Rui, that guy, is capable and resourceful, and likes to start from the beginning.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, eight kings with different surnames, Han Xin, the king of Han, took refuge in the Xiongnu, Zang Di, the king of Yan, rebelled, Zhang Er, the king of Zhao, died early, and his son Zhang Ao was taken the throne because of the assassination of Guangao, Yingbu, the king of Huainan, rebelled, Han Xin, the king of Chu, was killed before he had a rebellious heart, and Peng Yue, the king of Liang, was killed because he did not go to destroy the rebellious Han Xin, and later the king of Yan, Liu Bangfa and Xiao Lu Juan also took refuge in the Xiongnu.
Of the eight kings, seven of them rebelled. After the dispute between Chu and Han followed Liu Bang, there was no betrayal.
If you can win over this kind of person who does not love the throne, is famous, powerful, and loyal, the power of Great Qin can infiltrate the south...
If you want to do this, not only will you be famous, but Liu Bang will also need to die!
Furthermore... Wu Rui's favorite hairy apple seems to be able to take advantage of...
"Master Mao has made great contributions, and his family should also be rewarded, I don't know what Sister Ling likes? This battle won Bashu, whether it was gold, silver or pearl and jade, everyone can give it away! Ziying asked anxiously.
"This..."Mao Qiao chiseled the mountain stone and said, "My sister doesn't like money, the north loves the Book of Songs, and the south loves the Chu Ci. β
"In troubled times, there are people, brave generals, where do the widows go to find those sour people?" The child was slightly troubled.
"It is in this way that this gift is more likely to win the hearts of my sisters." Mao Qiao said, "The Qin people are rough, and the people of Bashu are no longer good at speaking, I am afraid that the king will go to Yanzhao Qilu to look for them." β
Ziying smiled secretly, the people of Qin and Bashu are very good at speaking, and the ancestral home of Li Taibai, a famous poet in later generations, is suspected to be in three places, the Western Regions, Shu County, and Longxi, Qin.
"That's right!" Ziying suddenly realized, "The widow is a person who can write tens of millions of poems, and he will definitely be liked by Mrs. Hengshan!" β
"What... Is the king joking? β
Mao Qiao looked at Ziying's sturdy back, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't want to be able to compose poems, and there are still tens of millions of poems?
"Aiqing, listen carefully, uh-huh!" Ziying cleared her throat, "Oh, it's dangerous!" The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky! Silkworms and fish, how dazed is the founding of the country! ... The flight of the yellow crane is not yet passable, and the ape wants to spend his sorrow and climb... The difficulty of Shu Road, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, and look sideways to the west! β
Ziying chiseled on his back, but his hands were more powerful.
There was a sudden silence behind him, and Ziying looked back, Mao Qiao and the Qin soldiers had already been left ten steps away by him, and they all looked at him blankly.
"Ladies and gentlemen... Why didn't Aiqing leave? Ziying muttered.
"Good! That's great! King Qin's great talent! Mao Qiao woke up, shook his head with wide eyes, and exclaimed, "I don't know who King Qin's master is, who can teach such a genius as King Qin?!" β
"Aiqing doesn't know, in addition to dancing with swords, the widow also loves "The Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci", and if you read more, you can naturally make your own. As the saying goes, 'read more than 10,000 volumes, and write like a god'. Ziying smiled cheekily.
Originally, I was worried that these people didn't understand Li Taibai's poems, and they couldn't imagine that literature was still regardless of the times, and even all the Qin soldiers could understand it.
"Exports can become words, and the king can't do it." Mao Qiao sighed, "It's a pity that this work is still a little rougher, my sister likes to be softer, I'm afraid the king..."
"Last night's stars and last night's wind, the west side of the painting building and the east of Guitang. There are no colorful phoenix wings, and there is a little bit of wisdom in the heart. β
Ziying groaned, interrupting Mao Qiao's questioning.
Mao Qiao's face was completely dull, and he muttered, "Although... There are some places that I don't understand, but the king is really powerful... My sister loves this kind of thing the most..."
Ziying grinned, Mao Ping's only work handed down to the world was the song "Evil", as long as she memorized the poems of love that the later generations swore by the mountains and seas, she would definitely be able to buy her.
It's a pity that Li Shangyin's guy writes poems, and he uses too many allusions, so it's good to find other people's poems.
"The hairy man does not know that the widow can do it whether he is rough or soft. Just because of the estimation of the identity of the King of Qin, it is not allowed to chant at will. Seeing that the time was ripe, Ziying said, "After this battle, the widow rewarded Aiqing. Aiqing can go back to her hometown to visit relatives first, and then tell Ling Mei that the widow has admired her for a long time and wants to meet friends with literature. The widow must be thanked! β
"Nature is the best! Indeed, the literati of the south are most fond of making friends with poetry and poetry, and they also admire those who are good at poetry. Mao Qiao smiled.
After Qu Yuan's death, Song Yu, Tang Le, and Jingcha people learned from Qu Yuan and did not dare to create a new style. Although the poem "The Evil" is softer than the northern poem, it is more bold than the southern poem. If Mao Ping knew Ziying's poetry ability, Mao Ping would be overjoyed.
"Then there is no word!"
