Chapter 254: See the Move

The Qin army marched southwest, and the majestic north gate of Chengdu City was close in front of the army.

Chen He, Worm Da and the others were gearing up, eager to attack it immediately.

Lu Matong looked at the city gate between mountains and rivers, and sighed slightly, "This city gate is too high, right?" It seems to be higher than the Xianyang City Gate. ”

"Bashu is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the city gate built according to the mountain is taller."

Ziying explained, and secretly took a little cinnabar suit from Zhao Ji into her mouth.

At present, there are more Bashu generals than Qin generals, and Ziying is afraid that there will be chaos at the last moment, so he would rather swallow cinnabar than show a sense of decadence.

"That's right." Lu Matong nodded, "I heard that only the gate of the Chinese capital of a country should be the highest, and Chengdu has some trespassers, and the city wall will be demolished if this city is captured." ”

"Humph! There is no need for this. Ziying smiled confidently, "Chengdu is a royal city, not an imperial city." No matter how high the walls are, it will not help. ”

"What does the king mean by this?" Worm Da was already convinced that Ziying was a man of destiny, and was extremely interested in Ziying's words.

Ziyingdong looked at Zitong and said with a smile, "Do you Aiqing know the origin of the ancient Shu Kingdom?" Bashu was originally owned by the Shushan clan Ran, and then the Qiang people became stronger, there were silkworm cong clans, and the Qiang clan of the Baiguan clan became a king to build a dynasty until the Ran clan of the Yuzhu clan was established again, and the king of Yushu was brutal, and the people of Shu privately set up 'Emperor Wang' Du Yu. Until Du Yu, Chengdu had never been established as the capital. ”

"Huh? So why did Liu Bang take Chengdu as the capital? Lu Matong was puzzled.

"Du Yu later rescued a Chu man who was said to have drowned in the water, but came back from the dead, named 'Turtle Spirit', and the Dujiangyan built by Li Bing Taishou was built on the basis of the turtle spirit to control the water." Emperor Wang'Du Yu saw that the turtle spirit had a meritorious role in controlling the water, and Zen gave the emperor's throne, and the turtle spirit called himself 'Emperor Cong' and established an 'enlightened dynasty'. At the time of the fifth enlightenment, the emperor was abolished as the king, and the capital was Chengdu. Ziying said.

"In this way, Chengdu is really not the imperial capital." Worm nodded in understanding.

Chen He didn't know how to feel it, but he felt that Ziying was well-informed and secretly admired.

"Abolish the emperor as a king? Isn't that just the same as the king? Hmm-"

Lu Ma didn't finish his fairy tale, and was kicked in the ankle by Zhao Ji.

"The widow is the king, he will always become the emperor again, and he still needs to rely on you for everything." Ziying took the opportunity to say.

Chen He and the others bowed their hands together, "The ministers must do their best!" ”

"Thank you Aiqing, then... Siege the city! ”

Ziying was too lazy to surround three and put one, and more than 20,000 soldiers attacked the north city gate. The battle under the city was lined up, and the archers drew their bowstrings.

Without waiting for the child to order, the north gate of Chengdu suddenly opened, and the soldiers guarding the city were wrapped in vegetarians, and Lu Shizhi, who was wearing linen and wearing filial piety, came out.

"King Qin! Don't kill the people, and die for the Bashu soldiers in Xiagan! Lu Shizhi shouted, with tears in his eyes and a sincere face.

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense! The king has never killed innocents indiscriminately since he entered Shu! Lu Matong shouted angrily.

"No?" Lu Shizhi cried with a sad face, "There are 30,000 soldiers in Zitong Guoting, more than 20,000 Bashu soldiers in Jinniudao, a total of more than 50,000 people, all died in the hands of Qin General Li Xin. Those are all the flesh and blood relatives of the people of Bashu, and King Qin doesn't remember it so quickly? Or did the King of Qin never take the lives of the Bashu people seriously? King Qin has already won a great victory, so why hide it here?! ”

"Those soldiers must have been killed by the king!" Chen He stepped forward and shouted.

Lu Shizhi raised his head violently and became furious, "Chen He, you traitor!" Dare to argue for this heinous butcher! It wasn't the child who killed it, could it be that you did it?! ”

"I..."

Chen He had nothing to say for a while, and some did not dare to admit the crime in front of the eyes of all the Bashu people.

"Bastard!"

Ziying secretly cursed, with Lu Shizhi's ability, he should know that he could not kill 50,000 people with the strength of the Qin people, and he should also know that the death of those people was caused by the internal struggle between Chen He and Guo Ting.

Lu Shizhi deliberately said this, making it clear that he was trying to provoke the hatred of the Bashu people against Ziying.

Ziying plans to completely subdue Chen He and others, and he can't say the inside story of that battle directly, otherwise he will force Chen He and Tang Li away.

It seems that you can only suffer this dumb loss.

"The minister really underestimated him in the past." Tang Li sighed, "I can't imagine that Lu Shizhi is so good at scheming, even if he wins a big victory today, the land of Bashu will be chaotic in the future!" ”

The Bashu soldiers outside Chengdu gritted their teeth and glared at Ziying viciously. Even the Bashu people in the Ziying Qin army began to stir.

"How can King Qin be silent, isn't it impossible to refute?" Lu Shizhi took the opportunity to say, "King Qin doesn't have to blame himself, it's just that Qin is brutal in nature, and I believe that everything is done by Li Xin privately, and King Qin is powerless to stop it." ”

"It's so demagogic when he dies, wait for the minister to cut off his head!"

Chen He was about to rush forward with his knife, but Tang Li hurriedly grabbed Chen He's arm.

"What are you doing stopping Lao Tzu?!" Chen He turned his head and yelled at Tang Li, "Kill him and you can avenge Pei Gong!" Don't miss the moment! ”

"Kill Lu Shizhi at this moment, and the king's infamy will be settled. Commander Chen didn't dare to admit it, but he didn't want to implicate the king. Tang Li shook his head and reminded.

"But... Alas, Lu Shizhi can speak well, and his ability to buy people's hearts is no less than Lu Ze, the matter has come to this, Lao Tzu admits it! Chen He made up his mind and resolutely said.

"Alas, it's too late, if you admit it now, the Bashu people will think that Commander Chen deliberately took the blame!" Tang Li sighed, "Killing Lu Shizhi now will only make the Bashu people even more angry. The king not only has to bear this name, but also has to spare Lu Shizhi..."

Ziying thought about it for a long time, but didn't think of a way to crack it.

"In the end, I actually put the widow together, I'm afraid that when the grain is levied next year, it will be the time of chaos!" Ziying frowned.

In the midst of difficulties, Lu Shizhi slowly walked towards Ziying with an expressionless face.

Walking in front of Ziying, Lu Shizhi suddenly smiled all over his face.

"King Qin can come here, I really didn't expect it. But after careful planning, what does it feel like to lose money in the end? ”

"Can those who go out of the city and surrender only take this as the last comfort?" Ziying sneered, "If Your Excellency had such ability, wouldn't it be much more clever to send troops to stop the widow as soon as possible?" ”

"Hahaha... King Qin is too simple to see, right? Lu Shizhi smiled disdainfully, "If you want to win the world, you must be upright, but Liu Bang has to die." King Qin was able to attack and just replace the crime of killing Liu Bang. My brother has returned from Linjiang with a large army, and then he will destroy the Qin army. Isn't such a strategy much more clever than going over mountains and mountains? Hahaha..."

"Your life is all here, Gao Ming's fart!" Chen He said angrily.

Lu Shizhi took out a short sword from his sleeve and handed it to Ziying in front of everyone, stretching out his neck mockingly.

"The sword is in the hands of King Qin, and the neck under it is here, King Qin can kill it if he wants to. But... In the next place, I see that King Qin doesn't have the guts. Lu Shizhi said with a smile.

Ziying looked down at the short sword, and didn't take it for a long time.

"Hahaha... I guessed that King Qin didn't dare. One year into a gathering, two years for the city, three years in Chengdu, the brother's position is the Bashu lady pro-sealed, the Bashu people naturally agree, the Qin people from a hundred years ago to the present, in the hearts of the Bashu people is only a foreign invasion of the country. In addition, the former brother and wife treated the people of Bashu well, and it was useless to the King of Qin to get Bashu. This... It is also the reason why they are 'careless' and not carefully fortified. ”

Ziying didn't think about the failure of attacking Bashu, but she never thought about the current situation...

"Ziying, don't hesitate! Kill or not, you will fail. It's a bit cheaper. Lu Shizhi stuffed the short sword into Ziying's hand and shouted, "Quite benevolent, and you want to win the world?" Qin Guo didn't have this opportunity for a long time! ”

"Presumptuous! Lao Tzu will send you to see Pei Gong! ”

Chen He snatched the short sword and was about to stab towards Lu Shizhi, but Tang Li hugged Chen He with all his might.

Zhao Ji, Lu Matong didn't know whether to kill or not for a while, and he didn't want to see Lu Shizhi so rampant, but if he was killed, there would be no room for maneuvering with the Bashu people.

"Ziying, do you think that your move from Chuying to Xianyang safely is incomparable? At this moment, Ben Hou will tell you that all your plans are just jokes, and Ben Hou can do it again and again! ”

The Qin army and the Bashu soldiers outside Chengdu looked at the stalemate in front of the battle, waiting for Ziying's reply.

To kill, or not to kill?!

"Your Majesty, it is better to enter the city first, and make decisions on other matters later." Zhao Ji was afraid that Ziying would choose the wrong one, so she hurriedly reminded.

"Don't be in a hurry, Jiancheng Hou will make a move, and the widow will always catch up, and the Qin people have no saying that they will avoid and not fight." Ziying pulled out of her thoughts, looked up at Lu Shizhi with a smile, and her eyes were already full of pride.

Lu Shizhi smiled disdainfully, brushing the long hair at the sideburns, "Really smart people come up with a dead strategy, and they won't leave any chance for the enemy." King Qin, don't bother. ”

Ziying shook her head and smiled, not panicking at all, "Your Excellency, have you heard of the 'Last Fight'?" ”

"What does King Qin mean?" Lu Shizhi thought about it for a long time, and he didn't remember that there was such a tactic, "It is taboo for a large army to fight near the water, and I don't know which fool came up with this tactic." ”

Ziying smiled secretly, the battle of the back water was the tactics of Han Xin when he broke the Zhao army, and Lu Shizhi was strange when he heard it. Only by deliberately saying things that the self-proclaimed wise people have not heard of can the arrogant heart be disintegrated step by step.

"The battle against the water is indeed the next step, but Your Excellency does not know the key to this method. On the surface, he was in a dead place, and he only wanted to fight, but the commander secretly sent people to make a detour to attack the enemy's city. When the enemy army carelessly fights, the battle of the back water becomes a flanking enemy army. ”

"Oh?" Lu Shizhi understood the meaning of Ziying in seconds, and smiled sideways, "King Qin is now forced to the water by Benhou, how can he surprise him?" ”

"The place of the surprise attack is not in Chengdu, but in Zitong, in Linjiang!"

Before Ziying's words fell, Lu Shizhi's face moved slightly, and he smiled again in an instant.

Ziying cut his hands on his back and squinted at the east, "Just now, the widow has been thinking about one thing, Lu Ze has a clever calculation, and he sent elite soldiers to attack Linjiang, why did he return to Bashu today, he must have encountered some unexpected trouble in Linjiang." And the king of Jiujiang has already taken a big advantage, and he will not easily start a war against Bashu again, Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan, is bent on avenging his daughter, and he will not act in vain, and the prince of Linjiang is not Lu Ze's opponent, so... Who is the person who caused trouble for Lu Ze? ”

"Don't think about it! My brother captured Linjiang early, and these days were just to appease the people of Linjiang. Lu Shizhi said urgently.

"Oh? Is it? Ziying smiled, "It seems that Your Excellency has really never heard of the name of the Nanyang Tomb." If the widow expected it to be good, the lieutenant knew that the Bashu army was attacking Jiangling, and he would definitely give up Nanyang and return to defense, but because of the lack of elite soldiers and strong generals, he had no choice but to summon the people of Wang Ling, who had always been unaccustomed to Liu Bang. This is where Lu Ze really makes a mistake! ”

Lu Shi was stunned and unconsciously looked at Chengdu City.

This kind of news was conveyed to him by Lu Ze in a secret letter, and it was impossible for Ziying to know about it. Ziying has also heard of the name of the royal tomb?!

"Who told you these things?" Lu Shizhi began to lose his breath, and secretly suspected that there were fine works in Chengdu.

Seeing that Lu Shizhi's attitude was the same as his past self, he couldn't help but smile, "Don't think about going against the king, the king is a celestial, and there is nothing he doesn't know." ”

"Less nonsense, let's talk about who is the meticulous work?!" Lu Shizhi roared.

"Don't worry, the widow hasn't finished yet." Ziying shook her head teasingly, "With the ability of Gongwei and Wang Ling to fight, these days must have made Lu Ze and his party anxious." Even if Lu Ze wins, he can't easily wipe out the forces of the two. The Battle of Linjiang... It was still going on, but Lu Ze heard that Bashu had been breached, so he returned with his troops. Calculate the time carefully, and that's the real reason! ”

Lu Matong smiled suddenly, "In this way, Lu Ze is attacking with a divided army, at most only 20,000, and he may not be the opponent of Commander Li?!" ”

"That's nature." Ziying nodded, "Although the Hou of Jiancheng just now said that the widow would not dare to kill him, he was actually luring the widow to do it, so as to lure the Bashu people to defect to Lu Ze and fight with the Qin soldiers quickly." ”

"Hahaha... What's the best idea? It's not that the king has seen through it, you are the one who thinks you are wise. Lu Matong choked his nose and sneered.

"The stupidest thing about a fool is that he thinks he's smart."

"Lu Ze has a younger brother like you, which can be regarded as the misfortune of the Lu family."

"The fourth son of the Lu family, you seem to be the worst one."

Everyone on the side shook their heads and sneered.

The most important thing was destroyed in public, and Lu Shi's heart suddenly gave birth to a feeling of sadness that you have never had before.

"Was... What if you're seen through?! Lu Shizhi was in a mess and shouted, "Ziying! You still can't get the love of the Bashu people! If the brother defeats Li Xin, and then summons the Bashu soldiers to fight, he will definitely be able to retake Bashu. You're all gone! Nothing! ”

Ziying looked at Lu Matong with a smile, "General Lu will take 10,000 horses to help Commander Li Xin at this moment to ensure that this battle is foolproof!" By the way..."

"No!" Lu Matong received the order and quickly counted the troops and left.

"Ziying, you are still afraid, otherwise it would be impossible to help." Lu Shizhi shouted, eager to regain a shred of confidence.

"Thinking like this, if.... It can make your heart feel better, the widow doesn't mind~" Ziying smiled.

Lu Shizhi was completely stunned, a cold air hit his whole body, and he knelt on the ground with weak legs. An understatement became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The indignant Bashu army outside Chengdu had a dull face, and he couldn't guess why Lu Shizhi knelt down towards Ziying.

Ziying condescendingly mocked, "In fact, the widow didn't think so deeply, after Guo Ting and Chen He fought to the death, there were still some Bashu soldiers who knew the truth. Commander LΓΌ led this trip in exchange for those Bashu soldiers, and when he arrived, those people only needed to inform everyone that the people who died in the battle had nothing to do with the widows. Your Excellency's plan is really... It's rotten!! ”

Chen He put away the short sword and looked at Lu Shizhi playfully, "It's not to blame the Marquis, in the eyes of the Lu family, the minister is just a reckless man who follows Pei Gong into the grass." Jianhou Jianchen is still alive, and he must think that the forces of both sides are exhausted, and the crime of slandering the king will be dead. ”

"There's left... How many people? Lu Shizhi asked weakly.

"Thanks to the timely intervention of Commander Li Xin, there are still thousands of people left. Their words should be more convincing than the Jianhou who has not left Chengdu City, right? Ziying raised her chin lightly and pointed at the Bashu soldiers outside the city.

"It's a miscalculation... If you want to kill or punish, it's all up to the King of Qin! ”

Lu Shizhi gritted his teeth and squeezed out this sentence from his mouth. Not for the sake of calculating the infant, but for the surrender of the loser.

"Forget it, it's not necessary after all."

Ziying waved his hand, Chen He and Worm Da firmly captured Lu Shizhi, and rushed to Chengdu City with a large army.

Ziying, who was the leader, passed by the Bashu soldiers, and the hostility in the eyes of the Bashu soldiers remained unchanged.

"The widow wants to stay in Chengdu for a while, and if you are not satisfied, you can assassinate the widow. But... Before you start, please think about who sent someone to build Dujiangyan on the west side of Chengdu! Ziying shouted to everyone, "The First Emperor is a tyrant in the eyes of all the princes, but the Bashu people are not qualified to talk about it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the army held its head high and walked into the "country of abundance" in the later generations.

Dozens of days of trekking, finally to the end.

From meeting the "strange beast", crossing the Minshui, life and death skyscraper, and almost being cut off by Guo Tingquan... The scenes were played back in Ziying's mind, and Ziying only felt that this moment was enough to comfort the hearts of the army. To be able to get here, everything in the past is worth it.

......

In the east of Zitong City, Lu Ze, who has the eyes of Danfeng, has a blue face, and his body is not only wrapped in armor, but also the dust along the way.

Guo Meng, who was stationed at Micang Road, was also urgently transferred by Lu Ze, leaving only 5,000 men to defend the Qin army.

"It's only been ten days, how did the war become where it is now?!" Lu Ze pulled Guo Meng's shirt and yelled, "What happened? Guo Meng, you tell Ben Hou! ”

"It's... It's Chen He of Taurus Road, Kong Li... It was they who opened the pass to let the Qin army in, and this is what we are today. Guo Meng replied tremblingly, not daring to tell him that this matter was only caused by him killing Kong Li.

Lu Ze was silent with a cold face, knowing that although Chen He was reckless, he would not act like this, otherwise he would not have sent Chen He to accept the Golden Bull Dao. There must be a secret after this incident!

"Even if Chen He rebelled, Guo Ting of Zitong, Lu Juan of Jiang Youshu, Worm Da in the Bunch, Ding Fu... If you want to get to Chengdu, are the guards all the way to the town a rice bucket? ! Lu Ze roared, he couldn't believe that these famous generals were no match for the children of only one famous general, Li Xin.

"It's... The things behind it are not fully known at this moment, so Hou Ye should not ask again. Guo Meng cried with a sad face.

"You..." Lu Ze breathed uncomfortably in his chest, blood spilled out of the corners of his mouth, and he fell aside.
