Chapter 20 Offering Pictures and Temple Calculations

"General, wait!"

Xu You was about to get on the boat when he heard the sound and looked back. It was Pei Zhi who came after him, he changed his rebelliousness in front of Liu Quan, and he was very respectful, and said, "Can the general give me a cup of tea and listen to me?" ”

Xu You looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Come up!" ”

This is a double-layer green finch and white bird, five or six zhang long, more than ten feet wide, exquisite carving, elegant decoration, is one of the boats of Zhan Wenjun in Jinling, Xu You belongs to borrowing.

Zhu Xin ordered the boatmen to shake and stand on the bow of the ship to guard, while Cangdi took fifty guards to line up on both decks, like eagles and wolves, staring at any suspicious targets.

The ghost master is on the run, the Heavenly Master is rebelling, Jinling is not a very safe place, the precautions must be in place, and it is always right to be cautious.

Xu You entertained Pei Zhi in the cabin and said, "What is Pei Gong teaching?" ”

"Don't dare!" Pei Zhi said: "Now that Yizhou is in turmoil, the imperial court is tied, I am willing to offer the Yizhou policy and add new merits to the general's policy." ”

Without Liu Bei's sincerity when he saw Wolong, and without Cao Cao's impatience to see Xu You, Xu You smiled, as quiet as the Zhoushan Mountain under the moonlight in the distance, and said indispensably: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

Pei Zhi almost didn't come up in one breath, according to his temperament, he should have brushed his sleeves and left, but he endured it, took out the map of Yizhou mountains and rivers from his arms, flattened it on the case, pointed to the undulating mountains of Yizhou, and said: "Since ancient times, Yizhou has been dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, surrounded by mountains, Micang Mountain and Daba Mountain in the north, Longmen Mountain, Qionglai Mountain and Daxue Mountain in the west, Daliang Mountain in the south, Da Lou Mountain, Wuling Mountain and Wu Mountain in the east. General, please look at the west, Longmen Mountain, Qionglai Mountain, Daxue Mountain, the mountain of the three mountains suddenly protrude, from a dozen tenacity to more than seventy tenacity, it is difficult for birds to cross; Looking at the south again, Daliang Mountain, Wulian Peak, Xiaoxiangling, Jinping Mountain and Hengduan Mountain Range, its mountain range stretches to Yuezhou, lofty mountains, stacked mountains and valleys, the same people and horses are difficult to walk. Therefore, the successive dynasties attacked Yizhou, in fact, there were only two directions, one was from the north and the other was from the east. ”

Xu You looked at this map, it was still the ancient cartographic principle based on the mountains and waterways, based on the topography of the county and the direction of the water flow, setting the northwest as the top and the southeast as the bottom, which was rough and terrible.

Zu Xiao invented the six bodies of cartography, the fraction (scale), the quasi-wang (direction), the road (road mileage), the height (the terrain), the square evil (angle), and the straightness (curvature), which derived the method of "planning and drawing", the accuracy has improved by leaps and bounds, which can be called a groundbreaking innovation, but there is also a fatal problem, that is, the closer to the center is the more accurate, and the farther away the deviation is.

Why?

Xu You found out after research that because Zu Hu believed that the earth was flat.

After the establishment of the Xuanji Academy, the two institutes of Tianjing and Yusuan opened a map class, Xu You perfectly integrated the modern cartography concept into this era, replacing the painting square with the longitude and weft, replacing the height with the altitude, replacing the truth with the contour line, and using scientific instruments such as level, ruler, and dry ruler, and the map drawn surpassed the entire era.

Looking at the picture of the mountains and rivers of Yizhou presented by Pei Zhi, it is like a scribble of a child in Mengxue, and it is not as good as the outdated plan and painting, but he still regards it as a treasure and takes it as a step into his life, which is really ridiculous.

"General, General?"

"Huh? I'm listening, Pei Gong continued! ”

Pei Zhi wanted to vomit blood, pinched his trouser leg with his fingers, told himself to be patient, and said: "In the north, there are Micang Mountain and Daba Mountain, and beyond these two mountains, it is Hanzhong." In the north of Hanzhong, it is connected with Guanzhong across the Qinling Mountains. From Hanzhong to Chengdu, you can only travel along the cliffs between the mountains and mountains, from west to east are Yinping Road, Jinniu Road, and Micang Road. ”

"Yin Ping is a small road, it can only be surprising, not useful, stationed in more than 1,000 people, it is impregnable; Although it can continue to reach Jiangcheng (Chongqing) in the south, the road is far away, there is no important town, and it lacks strategic significance. Only the Jinniu Road starts from Yangping Pass, crosses Micang Mountain, and then goes to Jinshou County, Kejianmen Pass, and after arriving at Zitong, if Kefu County, you can besiege Chengdu. ”

"Dafan Vayizhou, starting from Hanzhong, all take the Golden Bull Road. However, there is a sword gate pass in the Golden Bull Road, known as the 'Sword Gate World Hero', the Three Kingdoms Clock will attack Shu, and the 100,000 troops will be closed by the Sword Gate for several months, and they can not advance inch in, and it is not a good strategy to take the Golden Bull for the general. ”

"If the north is unfavorable, the only way to look at the east is to look to the east. The eastern part is very simple, it is the Yangtze River. The army went out of Yiling, traced the river upstream, first conquered Qutang Pass, and then conquered Jiangcheng, and then divided into two roads, one went to Neishui (Fujiang) to approach Zitong County, and surrounded Chengdu; Second, go to Waishui (Minjiang) and directly attack Chengdu. ”

"Liu Xiu's attack on Shu is to divide troops in Jiangzhou, so that Zang Palace enters the inner water, and he leads the main force into the outer water, and goes straight to Chengdu, which is like a storm. Liu Bei attacked Shu, but also divided the troops in Jiangzhou, Zhao Yun led the army to advance from the outer water, and the main force of Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei went up from the inner water to divide the counties and counties. ”

"General, I heard that the imperial court is cutting down Shu, and wants to use the Di Protector Army as the commander, if this is the case, the Di Protector Army will definitely mobilize the Liangzhou Army from Hanzhong to the south along the Golden Bull Road, this is a feint all the way, attracting the Heavenly Master Dao Heavy Army to defend Zitong, and then with the Changyun Army and the Pingjiang Army as the main force, attack Jiangcheng from the Yangtze River. Jiangcheng Ruoke, and then approached Zitong County from the internal water, and joined the Liangzhou army. Zitong loses again, Chengdu has no danger to defend, and the victory is certain. “

Xu You said with a smile: "Since the victory of the Di Protector Army has been decided, why does Pei Gong need to present this "Pingyi State Policy" to me? ”

Pei Zhi sneered: "Because I know that if the Di Protector Army fights like this, this battle will definitely be defeated!" ”

"Oh?" Xu You remained silent and said, "Why did Pei Gong say this? ”

Pei Zhi picked it up and said: "There is no evidence, no matter how much I say now, the general may not be willing to believe it, and when the Di Protector army returns from defeat, I will come to talk to the general again and say goodbye!" ”

Standing on the deck, watching Pei Zhi leave, Xu You showed a playful smile and glanced at Zhu Xin, Zhu Xin comprehended, suddenly disappeared, and quietly followed behind Pei Zhi.

Back in Changgan, he summoned Yu Daozhen, and when he talked about tonight's incident, Yu Daozhen smiled and said: "Liu Quan likes to persuade him to drink with beauties, which is his habit, but no one is so uninteresting, Liu Shilang's wine, how many people in the world will really refuse?" Of course, Su Ling didn't drink, even the emperor was considerate, and Liu Quan deliberately invited Su Ling tonight, just because he had the intention of making trouble. As for Pei Zhi, he should have colluded with Liu Quan in advance, pretending to be unruly, affecting the lives of those beautiful singers, Lord Xun has always had the name of benevolence and righteousness, it is impossible to sit back and watch Liu Quan kill people, as long as he stands up for the singers, Liu Quan can fan the flames and force Tan Xiaozu, Cao Qing, Gu Yun and others to stand up unconditionally to support you......"

Yu Daozhen is the best at calculations in the court, and it is as if he has witnessed the whole process of Liu Quan and others' secret planning, and said: "Liu's gate valve, what kind of identity and status? The lord is just an idle county marquis with no officials and no qualifications, and he can arrogantly divide his prostitutes, the generals with heavy troops are still loyal, and the civil officials in charge of the officials and the Xiantai do not hesitate to beat the drum and cheer, if this reaches the ears of the emperor, is he afraid? ”

Xu You was silent.

"Yes, the emperor is a favor to the lord of Xun, but the weight of the favor is heavier than that of the Qin Emperor to Wang Qian? Heavy over Henkel vs. Han Xin? Heavy over Han Wu vs. Wei Qing? The power is high and the weight must be doubted, this is the truth that is not broken, the emperor's trust has always been the moon in the mirror, only for a while, not for a lifetime. ”

Yu Daozhen said again: "Because of the work of exterminating the six days, the emperor wants the lord of Xun to be the general again and lead the army to attack Yizhou, which has attracted the jealousy of the old party and the gate valve, they do not hesitate to use such a simple and straightforward layout to set the lord of the cloud, that is, they see this, smart people know that the lord is in the game, but the fact is the fact, the power you show is too big, big enough to arouse the emperor's vigilance!" ”

Xu You sighed and said, "Am I too soft-hearted, knowing that it is a game, and still stupidly jumping in?" ”

Yu Daozhen's beautiful eyes were shining with a clear and admiring light, and his voice was tactful like a bird's soft song, and he said: "In the north and south, I have seen countless ruthless big people, but there are only those who are willing to stand up for those singers who are like cattle and sheep who are like cattle and sheep in life and death. This is not soft-hearted, but the husband has something to do, something not to do, the people's will is in virtue, the lord seems to have entered the enemy's urn for a while, but in the long run, it is actually of great benefit to the lord of the man! ”

Xu You asked, "What should I do next?" ”

"Tomorrow's court meeting, Liu Ning will take the opportunity to make trouble, impeach Lord Xun, form a party, intimidate ministers, be helpless, and rob private property, Xie Xiwen will also increase his efforts to attack Lord Xun, I guess, he will propose to expel Lord Xun from Beijing and serve as an assassin in a remote Xiazhou, it is very likely that it is still a assassin who is not in charge of the army......"

The Chu system, the history of the state assassin is divided into two kinds, one is in charge of the army, and the military and political power are in one; The first is the history of bicycle assassination without adding the number of generals and not in charge of the army, only responsible for local administration, and the military affairs are handed over to the state governor's office. In the Chu Dynasty, although the history of the bicycle assassin was nominally a feudal official, his rank and status were extremely low.

"Even if the emperor starts to suspect Lord Hao, he will not be so gracious, Xie Xiwen also knows that it is impossible to release Lord Xun just because he humiliates Liu Quan, and the emperor will definitely reject his proposal. At this time, Xie Xiwen proposed to let Di Xia be the general and supervise all the armies to go to Yizhou to quell the rebellion, and the emperor would not object. To retreat as advance, a small power trick. The main thing to do is to be silent, and let Tan Xiaozu and the others say it,"

Xu You praised: "Sitting in the hall, the temple is counted in the Taicheng, except for the passage, there is no one else!" ”

Later, Zhu Xin turned around and said: "Pei Zhi first went back to Liufu, and then went to Qiu Mai's mansion in Waguan South Lane, and when I left, I didn't see him leave the mansion. ”

Yudao is really like a few family treasures, and said: "Qiu Mai, Dr. Guozi, once participated in the imperial court ceremony, and has a small reputation in Jinling. Pei Zhi and Qiu Mai are close friends, and every time they come to Jinling, they live in Qiu Mansion. ”

Xu You smiled: "Qiu Mai...... Things are getting more and more interesting, Gu Yu, inform Wen Yusi, send someone to keep an eye on Qiu Mansion, as well as Qiu Mai and Pei Zhi, their daily whereabouts should be reported to Luo Shengsi as well. ”

Zhu Xin nodded, bowed slightly, and withdrew.
