Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan, did not like to fight, but his strength was strong and he was dominant in the southwest.

Ziying learned that Wu Rui's daughter was already in Linjiang, and knew that the war was not far away, so she had to rush to the Jinniu Road and Micang Road crossing in Hanzhong in time so as not to miss the fighter.

The next morning, the Xianyang Palace was full of ministers with cold faces.

In view of the failure of the last attack on Zhai, Li Xin's army was demoralized. He specially asked Ziying to allow officers at all levels to enter the palace to boost the morale of the army.

The world's largest palace is rubbing shoulders and flooding. The winter was cold, but the foreheads of everyone in the temple were covered with fine sweat.

"Chicken Si Chen, yin and yang are contradictory. This is an act against the sky. The widow will act for the sky today, crusade against the Bashu Lu Pheasant, and avenge Liu Bang! Ziying, who was sitting on the throne of Qin, stepped forward and said in a loud voice.

Zhang Er's knights nodded heavily, and fell to the ground in unison, "King Qin is wise!" We will repay death with death. ”

The Qin generals secretly laughed at Zhang Er and the others for being deceived.

"Cavalry Commander Yang Xi! Pawn Xun Jin! Ziying shouted.

"The minister is here!" The two stepped forward and knelt down.

"The two of you, together with Zhang Ao, the son of King Changshan, led 10,000 soldiers to garrison outside Hangu Pass, and have prevented Henan from attacking." Ziying Zhengse commanded.

"No!"

"This..."

He opened his ears and stopped, but no one around him had an idea, and he didn't speak again. Zhang Ao has been sent to the bitter well to find Xin Sheng's father and daughter, and he should not be able to cooperate with the two cavalry commanders.

Zhang Ao was allowed to listen to politics by Ziying, and in order to avoid suspicion, Ziying was often absent, and Ziying did not know Zhang Ao's movements for a while.

Zhang Er felt that 10,000 people were enough to guard Shenyang, and there was no need for Zhang Ao.

"Guan Xiangguo, Zhao Xiake."

"I'll wait!"

"Lead 20,000 horses and horses, follow the Ming Nuhou to borrow river water in the northwest to guard against the Western Wei Dynasty." Ziying said.

"Twenty thousand? And let a girl take it? The king is not right in this matter. Li Xin stepped forward and said, "The Western Wei soldiers are strong and strong, and they can easily mobilize 100,000 troops. The two knights are old, and the marquis is too young. Don't arrange it that way! ”

"Han Xin will be opposed, the Western Wei is still confronting the Chu army in Korea, and Tian Rong still needs support... Wei Wangbao can only take out a maximum of 20,000. Relying on the terrain, the defense is more than enough. Ziying refused.

Guan Gao raised his head and looked at Li Xin, "Don't worry about Commander Li, although we are old, we are also experienced in a hundred battles. King Changshan is also a Wei person, and we also know the tactics of Wei. Definitely won't let Wei Wangbao take half a step west! ”

Mo Ying looked at Ziying blankly, she could only do physiognomy, not lead soldiers, and she didn't know what Ziying meant.

"General Zhao Lian is quite old and can still fight, and Commander Li can't underestimate the Zhao people." Ziying smiled.

In addition to the above reasons, Zhai Wang Dong Peng will also advance eastward, and Wei Wang Leopard does not know the intention of Zhai's army, and will not launch a heavy army to attack Qin. Chang Shan had an enmity with the Western Wei Dynasty, and sending them to guard against the Western Wei Dynasty was the most appropriate arrangement.

As for Mo Ying, it is precisely because of his young age that he can let the two old men show their strength in the army. Furthermore... It's still a trick.

"We will live up to King Qin's trust!" The two of them bowed.

Li Xin retreated, snickering secretly in his heart.

These words were all taught to him by Ziying, in order to provoke this group of old guys. Although Zhang Er is a little wasted, his vision should not be bad, and since his subordinates can't succeed in strategy, leading troops should be their strength.

"There are still Wuguan and Lantian Pass left..."Ziying thought and said, "Commander Li Xin sent Du Wei to lead 5,000 men to defend Wuguan, and King Changshan led 10,000 people to refuse to defend Lantian Pass. The rest of the soldiers entered Bashu with the widow and Li Xin! ”

Zhang Er was stunned, Ziying actually promised him 10,000 people?! Aren't you afraid that he will take advantage of Daqin's emptiness to turn against the guest? Moreover, there is no need for a large army to defend Lantian Pass.

"The king of Qin should take this king to Bashu with him, this king wants to slaughter Lu Pheasant with his own hands!" Zhang Er clenched his fists.

Ziying smiled slightly, what she wants is for you to go with you, and it is better to stay by your side as a hostage, so as not to mess with the old ministers of Changshan.

"King Changshan doesn't know that Lantian Pass is not only connected to Linjiang Nanyang, but also through Hanzhong, this kind of pass cannot be guarded by capable people." Ziying "persuaded" and said, "King Changshan doesn't have to excuse himself. ”

Zhang Er couldn't help but shake his head, "King Gongao of Linjiang is powerless to defeat Qin, and King Qin is too careful." ”

"Southwest into Bashu, the plank road is too dangerous. King Changshan is old and unfamiliar with the topography of Bashu. Since I don't want to go to Lantian Pass, I should stay in Xianyang. Ziying smiled.

"The plan to attack Bashu was requested by this king to the king of Qin! The king of Qin is in charge, how can this king have a reason to live in peace? Zhang Er yelled urgently.

Zhang Er is 57 years old this year, and he already feels that the deadline is approaching. As soon as Changshan is destroyed, he may not see Ziying help him restore the country for most of his life, and for the sake of his reputation, he must win a battle!

"King Changshan, why bother?" Ziying said "heartbrokenly", "Everyone, please persuade King Changshan quickly, the body is the big thing, don't mess around." ”

Zhao Wu hunched over and walked to Zhang Er's side, "Your Majesty, or..."

"If anyone dares to persuade this king, don't blame this king for breaking off with him!" Zhang Er roared.

None of the knights dared to step forward again.

"If the king of Qin does not agree to this king, this king will die here today." Zhang Er looked directly at Ziying, and his excited body trembled.

"Alas, well. Today, King Changshan followed the army into Hanzhong. Ziying shook her head helplessly.

"Old man, thank you King Qin!"

Plop –

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhang Er knelt straight in front of Ziying.

"Hurry up and help King Changshan up!" Ziying was shocked and stood up from the throne.

"Wait!" Zhang Er pushed away the support of Guan Gao, Zhao Wu, and said in a low voice, "Chen Yu destroyed Changshan, and the old man's wisdom was ruined." King Qin promised to help the old man restore the country, and also helped the old man reconcile with Chen Yu, and returned some reputation. Today's army is about to be dispatched, and these words should always be said to King Qin. King Qin deserves to be worshiped by the old man! ”

"The widow..."Ziying was a little uneasy, "The widow has always admired King Changshan, these things should be..."

Ziying was happy that Zhang Er's group of celebrities were played by him, and Zhang Er was so gifted, he suddenly felt a little sorry for him.

The restoration of the country is fake, Liu Bang was killed by Lu Pheasant is also fake, and even helping Chen Yu and Zhang Er reconcile is also to use the people of Changshan...

"Villain!"

Ziying scolded secretly, feeling more and more that he was on the same list as Yongya, Sima Xin and others.

"This time in the fight for Bashu, if you can return with a big victory. The widow doesn't want any reward from King Qin, it should be regarded as a thank you to King Qin! His eyes were burning and his face was full of earnestness.

"Bashu..."

"Although the land of Bashu is fertile, the king of Changshan must not be able to stand the humidity of the place, and the land of Guanzhong is drier than that of Changshan." Chen Ping saw Ziying's unbearability, and interrupted again and again, "If King Qin really wants to be rewarded, after conquering Bashu, he will attack Western Wei by taking advantage of the situation, which is what King Changshan wants to see the most." ”

Whether it is Bashu or Guanzhong, if Zhang Er is fiefdomed by Ziying, he will always be able to know Ziying's plan, then it will be inappropriate.

Now that you have been deceived, you need to cheat to the end!

"Exactly!" Zhang Er responded and said.

"Okay." Ziying sighed, "The widow will definitely do what King Changshan wishes." ”

Ziying also admires Zhang Er, who was sold and helped people count money.

Guan Gao was grateful, but a little puzzled, "20,000 river water, 10,000 Hangu Pass, 5,000 Wuguan and 10,000 Lantian Pass." That's 45,000 men. How many soldiers and horses did the King of Qin have left to attack Bashu? ”

"When Pei Gong entered the customs, he claimed to be 100,000 horses, plus he surrendered all the way, and there were at least 30,000 or 40,000 elite soldiers. If Lu Pheasant used Pei Gong's men and horses to gather an army, there would be at least 100,000 now. Zhao Wu echoed.

Originally, Ziying only had guards and middle guards. The capture of the Saiguo country gained four or five thousand, but the Yongguo country had sixty or seventy thousand, plus the recent vigorous surrender, it was also more than 100,000. Excluding the precautions, there are fifty or sixty thousand left.

Ziying secretly thought that when Lu Pheasant attacked Linjiang State, although he had the assistance of Yingbu, in order to unite Hengshan to fight Jiujiang in the future, he would also bring at least more than half of the men.

The remaining more than 50,000 people relied on this terrain to block an equal number of Qin soldiers.

If it is a hard attack, it is absolutely impossible to succeed.

But there are three places where Ziying can take Bashu. The first and the other are two unknown paths.

The third place is to bet on Liu Bang's group of people to seize power, causing chaos in Bashu!

"You don't need to worry, Great Qin has fought against the coalition forces of other countries many times back then, and he can win more with less. This time, with the help of King Changshan, it can also be the same. Ziying didn't seem to care about the reply, and didn't want to tell Zhang Er and the others the specific number.

Guan Gao's doubts were not dispelled, "But... Back then, they all relied on the danger of Hangu Pass, and the coalition forces had their own intentions! Now that the Qin army is out of time, the location is in Bashu, and the people are..."

"What the widow looks at is the people!" Ziying took the opportunity to say, "When Liu Bang was fighting, Lu Pheasant was still in his hometown. His subordinates Xiao He, Cao Shen, Lu Xuan, Fan Xu and others are all loyal ministers. Liu Bang died, and it was impossible for them not to hate Lu Pheasant. The big war is coming, and the widows bet that they will help Daqin. ”

"But..."Guan Gao still couldn't figure it out, "In order to avenge Pei Gong, they betrayed Pei Gong's foundation, they can't do this, right?" I also heard that Lu Ze, the eldest brother of Lu Pheasant, is the best at buying people's hearts. It is difficult to guarantee that they will not betray Liu Conglu like Shen Yang. ”

"Heh..."Ziying smiled bitterly, this Guan Gao was persuading him not to send troops? Already thinking about him?

"Then according to the meaning of the country, what should the widow do?" Ziying asked.

"Return to King Qin." Guan Gao arched his hand and said, "I don't know why King Qin is so impatient, and he mainly trains his troops first." If you send a fine work to infiltrate the land of Bashu, you should have a better chance of winning. ”

Secret agents?

Ziying smiled secretly, the widow sent an assassin, and there is no news yet. Anyone who sends them these days will be discovered.

"Guan Xiangguo doesn't know anything, and the widow is not in a hurry, but the mountain road is too difficult." Ziying explained, "The golden bulls of Tongbashu, the two rice cangs, are often infested with fierce beasts. On a sunny day, the army will be trapped in the plank road, even as late as January. The widow had to think about it in advance. ”

"As for the supposed outward cooperation," Ziying continued, "the widow has never been fond of conspiracy. Don't use this plan! ”

Chen Ping raised his head slightly, glanced at Ziying, pursed his mouth, and said nothing.

"How can I rest assured?!" Zhang Er was also anxious, his face turned red, "King Qin is just too merciful!" If there is no other way, the widow can send his subordinates to enter Bashu first, and make internal responses for the king of Qin. ”

"Never!" Chen Ping stepped forward.

It's okay to say that this group of old guys died on the plank road, but when they really saw Lu Pheasant and Liu Bang, things were over.

"You are all Liu Bang's old acquaintances, and you will definitely die if you go." Chen Ping said, "In this battle, it seems that the chances of winning the Great Qin are extremely low, but the Qin people can always do impossible things, don't worry!" ”

After Chen Ping finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Jia, who was still silent.

Lu Jia comprehended and arched his hand, "The king has Mr. Mo Chu to build a blade, and the Marquis of Ming Nu to predict good luck and evil, this is the king's way to defeat." In addition, please have a hundred Yue soldiers on the king, and you will definitely be able to win with one blow. ”

Lu Jia raised his head and looked at Zhang Er and the others with an indifferent expression.

In the hearts of everyone in Changshan, Lu Jia's reputation is very good, and he is gradually convinced.

"King Qin has worked hard." Zhang Er blamed himself a little, "These winning strategies will probably be known to the princes after this battle." It's no longer a surprise soldier. ”

"Where?" Ziying said with a smile, "There is a saying in Confucianism, I am three times a day, I am not loyal to others, I am not faithful to make friends, and I am not used to it." The widow works for his friends, and he should do his best. ”

Zhang Er's gratitude to Ziying was beyond words, and several old people hid behind, secretly wiping their tears.

"Today is the great war, and if you have no objection, act according to the orders of the widows. He captured Bashu one day, and the widow drank with all the soldiers again! Ziying raised his hand and said loudly.

"The king is wise!"

"King Qin is wise!"

The people in the hall knelt together, and the child's heart was shocked and refreshed.

"Get up, the rest of the things will be arranged by Li Xin, and the dynasty will be dispersed." Ziying waved his hand.

Everyone got up in twos and threes and followed Li Xin out of the main hall.

Lu Jia, Chen Ping, and Mo Cheng were still standing in place. In addition to the three people, an emaciated man knelt at the door of the main hall and could not stand for a long time. Kneeling at the entrance of the hall for a long time, his feet were a little cold.

"The Marquis of Tanglin has also listened to the entire early dynasty, what do you think of the plan of the widow?" Ziying crossed Erlang's legs and teased.

Zhaoping knelt on the ground and moved down to Ziying.

"The king's plan is exquisite, and the villain admires it." Zhaoping bowed his head and said, "It's just..."

"Just what?" Chen Ping smiled, "Could it be that the king should assign you some soldiers?" ”

Ziying told Chen Ping about his concerns about Zhaoping, and at this moment in Chen Ping's heart, the old man in front of him was a traitor seeking glory.

"The villain doesn't dare!" Zhaoping was a little nervous, "The villain... I just feel that the king is in... Nervous. ”

"Presumptuous!" Lu Jia shouted angrily, "This time the king is a pro-campaign, and the king's heart is the heart of the army, you are disturbing the heart of the Great Qin army, what is your heart?!" ”

Chen Ping shook his head lightly and looked at Zhaoping with interest, "It's that dogs can't change eating." The king wanted to reseal your official position, but you didn't want to harm the king all the time. If you deal with people like you, you should be killed to sacrifice the flag! ”

Ziying was silent, and he pretended to be confident in order to strengthen the army's heart. But there was one thing in his heart that was extremely fearful - everything he was gambling on!

Bet that Liu Bang's old ministers will fall out with Lu Pheasant, bet that Bashu's army will take that road, and bet that the place where he wants to surprise attack will be unguarded!

Everything is his speculation out of thin air, as long as one link goes wrong, it will be doomed.

However, Li Xin had no combat experience against Bashu, and Wei Yu was not around, so he was depressed. All the burdens were on him.

"Doctor Chen, don't embarrass him." Ziying's expression was grim, "The Marquis of Tanglin is right. ”

"No!" Chen Ping nodded.

Chen Ping also saw Ziying's panic under the excitement, and at the moment he just wanted to find an excuse to kill Zhaoping.

"Since the Marquis of Tanglin sees the heart of the widow, I don't know what solution there is? If there is a miracle, the widow will be rewarded! Ziying leaned over, eager to hear some strategy from Zhaoping's mouth.

"The villain is just guarding the mausoleum for King Zhuangxiang, and he doesn't know how to lead troops to fight. Besides..."Zhao Ping looked at Mo Cheng, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, "Besides, isn't the king planning to ask this girl?" ”

"I was right again by the Marquis of Tanglin." Ziying smiled awkwardly at Lu Jia.

Buzhi for ghosts and gods is the most despised way of kings in Confucianism.

"The king wants to ask, and the minister wants to hear it." Lu Jia showed no disdain and said respectfully.

Ziying was slightly relieved.

Mo Cheng bit his lip, pinched his robe and rubbed it with his little hands, as if he was embarrassed, "This... The minister really can't see that sending troops to Bashu is a change of momentum, the celestial phenomenon has not appeared, and the minister's current ability is not enough to see through..."

Ziying's face became more and more ugly, "Alas, if Wu Anjun, Bai Qi, and Meng Wei are all here." The widow doesn't stop there..."

Chen Ping didn't know much about the tactics of war, and Lu Jia didn't know the current situation in Bashu, so it seemed that no one could help him with his staff anymore.

"The king doesn't have to worry, it's man-made. Before King Wu fell, Jiang Taigong used tortoise shell and yarrow to divinate King Wu, which was a sign of great evil. Taigong broke the yarrow, trampled the tortoise shell, and forcibly sent troops. In the end, the Shang Dynasty was destroyed. Mo Cheng waved his hands and persuaded.

"The Marquis of Ming has a point." Chen Ping echoed, "Maybe the people of Chu can't stand the dampness of Bashu, although the combat power of the elite soldiers has been greatly weakened. ”

"Huh." Ziying smiled bitterly, in terms of deceiving people, Lu Jia is still slightly inferior.

If Lu Pheasant is smart, he should attack Linjiang with the Chu elite soldiers who want to rush out of Bashu, and use the local soldiers of Bashu to defend against foreign invasions. In this way, it is exciting to attack or defend.

Even if the people of Chu were sick, it had nothing to do with Great Qin.

"Being in a high position enjoys a lot of money. Is this how you deceive the king? If so, this palace can also be a prime minister and a doctor. ”

There was a flattering sound outside the hall, and Ziying didn't need to look up to know that it was Zhao Ji coming.

"Madame is not in the harem, there is no herald, how can I get here..."

Ziying was just about to get angry, but when she looked up, she was stunned, and saw Zhao Ji wearing a light red light veil, drawing her eyebrows and wiping her lips, overflowing with charm, and coming over. A woman in her early twenties, charming with a touch of greenness, a smile is full of charm, and the way to hook people is extremely mature...

Lu Jia and Chen Ping didn't dare to look back, and bowed their heads respectfully.

"What a beautiful sister." Mo sighed unconsciously.

Ziying forced his mind and pointed out of the hall suddenly, "The army is about to go out, and the lady is wearing blood-colored clothes, is it possible that the Great Qin soldiers will not return?!" This is not the place you should be, and you dare to be rude to the widows! Get out there! ”

"It's not that the king hasn't brought his concubines, what's more, the concubines are the only ones who can share the king's worries now." Zhao Ji hid her face and chuckled.

"If you have something to say, maybe the widow can spare you for the crime of unauthorized harem!" Ziying said urgently.

Zhao Ji stepped forward with a chuckle and leaned on Ziying's ear, "The plan is..."
