In Huanmeng's mansion, because he was appreciated by Yuan Ziqiao and Huanmeng, Xi Shantu has always been polite, and he has never been so embarrassed, he vomited and diarrhea for two whole days, although it is said that this is related to his own recklessness, but in the end he is depressed.

Therefore, three days later, when Xin Er was ready to stop and set off to go to Chengdu with him, on the way, although Xin Er took the initiative to talk to him, Xi Shantu was always lukewarm.

Xin Er didn't mind.

This time I went to Chengdu, Xin Er didn't bring too many entourages.

I don't know why, maybe it's because Chengdu and Chongqing are in Shu together, Xin Er remembered the sentence he heard in his previous life, "The better you fight, the safer I am", so when he went to Chengdu, he left Tang Ai, Gao Yancao, and Luo Dang in Jiange and other places.

Tang Ai is in charge of the overall situation in the Sword Pavilion. Gao Yancao was stationed in Qinde. Luo Dang went to guard Jiameng Pass. As for the bald Boye who attacked Baishui and left, Xin Er sent him an order that if he could successfully defeat Baishui, he would go to the Sword Pavilion to meet Tang Ai.

The only officials he brought with him were Li Liang, Wei Shu, and Wei Xian.

Wei Shu and Wei Xian, father and son, are responsible for leading hundreds of riders who are responsible for escorting the servants.

When he came out of the Sword Pavilion, Xin Er was walking with Gao Yancao and his subordinates.

traveled dozens of miles, and when he arrived at Qinde, Gao Yancao went to the city to set up defenses; Xin Er continued south.

A few days later, he arrived in Zitong County.

Zitong has Jingzhou soldiers and horses stationed, and the defender of the city is a school captain, who came out to meet Xin Er, Xi Shantu, etc. I stayed in Zitong County for one night and washed the dust on the road. The next day, the group set off for the south.

Zitong is on the east bank of Zitong water, crosses Zitong water, travels one or two hundred miles, is Fu County. Crossing the water, walking two or three hundred miles, is Mianzhu. This place has belonged to Guanghan County. Guanghan County is one of the earliest three counties in Shu, until the middle and late Qin Dynasty of the previous dynasty, the area of Guanghan County is still very large, there is no Zitong County at that time, Zitong County is included in Guanghan County. The name of Guanghan means that the territory is vast and reaches the Han River. However, Guanghan County is now much smaller.

Go south through Mianshui, pass through Ruo County, cross Pishui, go more than 100 miles, cross several rivers of different sizes one after another, and it is Chengdu City.

If you look at it from the map alone, Qinde to Chengdu is only four or five hundred miles, but the road is mountainous along the way, the road is very difficult to walk, go around, and walk a long plank road, flat land, mountain road, total calculation, I am afraid that it will not be able to walk nearly a thousand miles.

Chengdu is a city with a long history and was built during the Warring States period. After the Qin State defeated the Shu State through the Golden Bull Road, the main generals of the Qin soldiers who destroyed Shu, Sima Cuo, Zhang Yi and others, built a city here. Now in the market of Chengdu, there is also a legend, it is said that Sima Cuo, Zhang Yi chose the process of building the city site was very difficult, and he could not choose it for a long time, and then saw a big turtle out of the river, and he swirled away, Sima Cuo, Zhang Yi immediately sent troops, and the people built it with their traces, and the city was established; Therefore, Chengdu is also called "Turtle City".

Now Chengdu has two large and small cities, the south city is relatively large, called Taicheng, Tai, that is, the big also; Xicheng is smaller and is called Shaocheng. Shaocheng has only three city walls: west, south and north, and the east city wall is the west city wall of Taicheng. These two cities, large and small, were built by Sima Cuo and Zhang Yi, and have been preserved and used to this day. Before the world was in chaos, the governance of Yizhou Thorn History was in Taicheng, and the governance of Chengdu's internal history was in Shaocheng.

The two cities are seven miles wide, and this is the weekly ritual system of Sima Cuo and Zhang Yi.

Outside the river in the south of Chengdu, Xin Er looked at the city of Chengdu from afar, but saw that the city was surrounded by two rivers, and there were mountains near and far.

Between the water and the mountains, the majestic city walls stand, and in the sister cities that cover a wide area, there are hidden pavilions and pavilions.

Xin Er asked Xi Shantu and said: "I heard Hao and Meng Erjun say that Duke Huan's defeat of the Shu soldiers was in the Di Bridge, and I don't know which one is the Di Bridge?" ”

Xi Shantu said lightly: "The bridge is in the west of Chengdu, this is the north of Chengdu, and you can't see the bridge here." ”

"Chengdu Tai and Shao two cities, the first to break the Huan Gong Office, what city is it?"

"Shaocheng."

Xin Er nodded and didn't ask again.

Li Liang knew that he must be thinking, so he asked these two questions, taking advantage of the time when Xi Shantu was leading the way, he asked Xin Er, and said: "Ming Gong, Liang Guan Gong is thoughtful, but are you imagining the scene when Huan Jingzhou breaks Chengdu?" ”

Xin Er is thirsty for talent, the Li family is a big family in Longxi, in the future, Li Liang may be of great use, and he has the heart to recruit him, so he does not hide it, and replied: "Not bad." "Riding on a horse, raising the whip to draw Chengdu left and right," Chengdu's northern mountains are stacked, and the two rivers are surging, which is not conducive to garrisons and attacks; Looking at the east of the city, although the plains are fertile, the east is Chengdu Taicheng, where the main palace of Shu is located, the city defense must be strong. In this way, the only place to choose the direction of siege is the south or west of the city. The south of the city is the junction of Taicheng and Shaocheng, and choosing this siege is equivalent to fighting with the two cities of Chengdu at the same time. If I were Huangong, I would also choose to attack from the west of the city. ”

Li Liang followed the wave of Xin Er's horsewhip, carefully observed the situation on the four sides of Chengdu, agreed with Xin Er's analysis and choice of the direction of the siege, and said in his heart: "It is true that as Ming Gong said, Chengdu is surrounded by four sides, only the west of the city, which is conducive to the attacker." Said admiringly, "Ming Gong really knows soldiers like gods!" Huan Jingzhou and Ming Gong can be described as heroes, and they see the same thing. ”

Xin Er laughed, affectionately called Li Liang's nickname, and said modestly: "Gou Zi, you can't say that." Huan Jingzhou only relied on 10,000 people to achieve the great achievement of destroying the country. This can be said to be a great feat. Courage, determination, and strategy are all above me. You can't say that Huan Jingzhou and my hero see the same, at most, you can say that I am a fool with a thousand thoughts, and a little bit more than a wise man. ”

False name, Xin Er never cared.

Therefore, when it is time to be humble, he is never polite.

Huan Meng still did not go to live in the city, but was still in the camp outside the city.

Xi Shantu took Xin Er and others to walk around the river outside the city, and walked for about half an hour to the outside of the camp of the Jingzhou army.

In advance, Xi Shantu went to report from the officials, and a group of people were already waiting at Yuanmen.

The leader was Yuan Ziqiao, and there were four or five scribes and two or three military generals on his side.

Xin Er saw Hao Sheng and Meng He at a glance.

After getting off the horse, Xin Er handed over the reins to Wei Shu, and Xi Shantu led him and Li Liang to meet Yuan Ziqiao and others.

There is no need for Xi Shantu to introduce, Yuan Ziqiao also knows that the heroic young man in front of him must be Xin Er, and he said: "Xia Guan Yuan Ziqiao, on behalf of Duke Huan, welcomes the general." ”

Huan Meng's official position is higher than Xin Er's, and his real power is not comparable to Xin Er, so of course he will not greet Xin Er in person.

Yuan Ziqiao is the first henchman to be used under Huanmeng's account, this time to cut down Shu, he is a well-deserved first merit, a few days before Huanmeng, has been on the table in the court, Chen said that Yuan Ziqiao and others have made contributions, it is foreseeable that in the near future, when the imperial court rewards down, a third-grade, fourth-grade general will definitely not be able to run away.

Xin'er's conquest general is also a three-product.

Huan Meng sent Yuan Ziqiao out to greet Xin Er, to be honest, he had already given Xin Er face.

Xin Er smiled and said: "I have admired the reputation of the general for a long time, and I can see it today, under the fame, there is no vain!" Fortunately, very lucky! ”

A person beside Yuan Ziqiao smiled and said: "We all know the surname of the general, but the general doesn't need to describe himself. ”

Li Liang frowned and glanced at this person, because this person was talking to Xin Er, he didn't want to interject for the time being, so he didn't say anything.

Xin Er's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled calmly and said to this person: "Jun's demeanor is gloomy and uninhibited, he must be Jiangzuo Gaoshi." Dare to ask for a name? ”

The man replied: "I am under Xie Zhi, and I am under the account of Huan Gong." ”

Li Liang sneered.

Xie Zhi was puzzled and asked him, "Why are you laughing?" ”

Li Liang said: "It turned out to be Xie Lang who was scolding people on the wall, no wonder he was rude when he saw His Holiness. ”

Xie Zhi's personality is debauched, because of his debauchery, so coarse, when he was young, he had a story, once he was annoyed by a famous man in the Taiyuan Wang clan, he was angry, he went to this famous man's house, wantonly scolded, the Wang family's famous man, impatient by nature, but under Xie Zhi's insults, but he didn't dare to say a word, just sat on the wall. This is what Li Liang said "scolding people in the face of the wall".

Li Liang heard this anecdote from Gao Chong, who returned from the envoy Jiang Zuo.

However, it is said that when the corporal meets each other, there is a kind of vulgarity, that is, when greetings, they insult each other's elders and wives. This vulgarity and Qing Tan are born from the artistic conception of "natural and free" pursued by scholars from the past generation to the present. It is said that Xie Zhi is joking with the surname Xin Er, which is not excessive, but Li Liang is also right, Xin Er is Venerable after all, and Xie Zhi is a bit too much to do this.

Xie Zhi hey, thinking about him Xie Zhi, his temperament is up, even Huan Meng will be forced to flee by his forced drinking, how can he be willing to endure Li Liang's sarcasm of "not exceeding his strength"? He looked Li Liang up and down, said "ouch", rolled up his sleeves, pointed at Li Liang with a feather fan, and said, "Little eye slave, are you envious of the Wang Lang who was scolded by me?" Don't you also want to find scolding? ”

Li Liang's hometown, Tang and Rong live together, the folk customs are very rude, Li Liang is a little ear and eye, and he is quite impregnated in scolding, he said in his heart: "With a gentleman, I am polite and polite, but I am not necessarily inferior to you Lao Xie than scolding!" ”

Not to be outdone, you have to take it.

Xin Er stopped it in time, and said with a smile to Li Liang: "Don't you hear 'Fang Wai Sima'? Xie Jun is a person in temperament, and the etiquette is set up for Xie Jun? ”

Yuan Ziqiao looked at him coldly, and when he saw that he couldn't scold twice, he also came out to persuade him.

A storm has come to an end.

Into the camp.

Yuan Ziqiao said: "Duke Huan has entered the city, and he can only return to the camp tomorrow." I'm afraid I won't be able to meet with the general today. The accommodation has been arranged for the general, the general has worked the road, please rest for the night. Tomorrow Duke Huan will come back, and the lower officials will come again to invite the general in person. ”

Xin Er said in his heart: "Did you really enter the city, or did you deliberately snub me for a day?" Just as Qianli suggested that I entertain Xi Shantu with buttermilk, Huan Jingzhou's move would also give me a dismount? Thinking so in his heart, his face was as usual, and he smiled, "The guest is as good as the host." ”

Yuan Ziqiao led Xin Er to the accommodation arranged for him, his servants, and his soldiers, and asked him if he had any special needs, and then left with Xie Zhi and others.

Not to mention Xin Er, Li Liang and others.

Just talking about Xi Shantu, he followed Yuan Qiao and the others, and after he got out of the tent area arranged for Xin Er and others, Yuan Qiao asked him to return to the tent to rest.

Xi Shantu is a scribe, go to the Sword Pavilion, return to Chengdu, go back and forth for more than a thousand miles, over the mountains and mountains, he is indeed tired, and only then did he hear that Huan Meng was not in the camp, he just wanted to give Huan Meng his life, and he couldn't recover it at this time, so he obeyed Yuan Qiao's orders.

When he arrived in the tent where he lived, he freshened up a little and did not eat, and Xi Shantu fell down on the couch, that is, he fell asleep.

I don't know how long I've been asleep, but someone seems to be calling him in my ears, and his voice is very short.

Xi Shantu barely broke out of his sleep, opened his eyes, and looked hazy, and saw two people standing in front of his couch.

One was a servant of his service, and the other was familiar, a little familiar.

Xi Shantu didn't want to pay attention to them, waved his hand weakly, and motioned for them to go away, turn around, and want to go back to sleep.

Hearing the sound of "poof", followed by the sound of a head button, the words full of Shu accents sounded: "Begging for help!" ”
