Chapter 759: The Fire Starts
Xuan Xuan responded: "General, that's why I said that I wanted to defend against the Chu people, instead of refusing the help of the Chu people." In order to prevent the Chu people from taking advantage of the presence of our Pakistani army and sneaking up on our capital Dianjiang like the Qin people. After the Dianjiang River was recovered, while contacting the Ba people in various places to rise up against the Qin people, it was necessary to leave an army to defend the capital in case of contingencies. โ
Ba Qian responded: "There is no problem with leaving the army to defend the Dianjiang River, but the general is worried about the Chongguo side, although it is difficult to march on the Micang Ancient Road, it is not a problem to reluctantly march." Calculating the time, if Qin's reinforcements come from the west of the rice cang road (the rice cang road is in a Y-shape as a whole, the west road is in the east of Hanzhong, and the east road is close to Shangyong), there will be about twenty days, and they will arrive in Badi.
If we leave a part of our troops in Dianjiang, we will not go all out to attack the Qin army in the north. Ben was worried that it would be too late to block the road for the Qin army to go south. And Chongren has a hatred for our Ba people, although Chong Ren also intends to restore the country, but my Ba people go to Langzhong, I am afraid that the local Chong people may not help us. โ
Speaking of this, Ba Li sighed: "I'm afraid that Chongren will guard against us just like we guard against the Chu people, and even go too far." Therefore, if the troops are insufficient, I am afraid that there will be great trouble. โ
Xuan Xuan arched his hand and said: "General, it is precisely because the Chongren hate us more than the Qin people that we cannot eliminate the Qin people in Langzhong as soon as possible. The Chu people are different, before the Chongren, there is already the blood of the Chu people, and the Chong country is far away from the Chu State, and there is no conflict of interest with the Chu State, if the Chu army arrives in the Chong State, those who also intend to restore the country will inevitably rise up and respond.
Therefore, in the following meaning, you only need to send people to contact Chongren first, and at the same time send an army to welcome the Chu people into Ba, and then go to Langzhong with the Chu people. โ
As he spoke, a trace of hatred for the Qin people appeared on his face, and he said hatefully: "General Ba Li, as long as we occupy Langzhong, it doesn't matter whether we block the Qin army from entering Badi. If the Qin people come, with the strength of the Chu army and our Ba people, it will be enough to fight against them. However, the ancient road of rice cangs is difficult to travel, and it is extremely difficult for the Qin army to transport grain, and ten stones of grain are transported from Nanzheng, and they arrive at Badi through the rice warehouse, and three stones of grain can be left, which is considered good.
Therefore, if the Qin people don't come, as long as the Qin army arrives in Badi, then under the condition that we are ready, the Qin army will inevitably be unable to sustain its food, and within ten days, the army will definitely run out of food. At that time, the Qin army came, but don't think about going back. โ
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, nervous, expectant, afraid, and all kinds of emotions lingered in everyone's hearts. Xuan Xuan, Fan Bao, and Zheng Feng looked nervously at Ba Li at the same time.
Seeing the three of them, Ba Qian then remembered that when the Qin State attacked Ba, most of his clansmen died in the war, and he himself sent people to the fence for ten years, and it took more than ten years to return to Dianjiang again.
Thinking about it, Ba Li's mind was instantly filled with hatred for the Qin people, and he said hatefully: "Okay, now the only way for the Qin people to enter Bashu is the Micang Ancient Road, if the Qin people can't get food from the country, then the Qin people will definitely have no return." โ
When the three of them heard this, they arched their hands at the same time and said, "The general is wise." โ
Ba Qian waved his hand and ordered: "Pass the order, now let our clansmen outside the city come to Dianjiang, go out day and night, ambush outside the city, and just wait for the time to come, and kill the Qin people in Dianjiang City." โ
"No!"
ยทยทยท
Three days later, in the morning.
Dianjiang City is still slightly tense and calm, and the people in the city come and go, as in the past.
Suddenly, a house in the east of the city caught fire for some reason, and the fire was so rapid that a burst of fire suddenly rose into the sky.
"It's gone..."
"Let's put out the fire..."
With several rapid shouts, the neighbors on the street looked towards the place where the sound came from, and then saw a puff of black smoke rising into the sky along with the fire.
Seeing this, they heard the cry for help, and the nearby Ba people immediately returned to their homes, picked up the buckets and basins, and dared to go to the place where the fire was burning.
At the same time, a group of Qin people patrolling nearby saw the fire pass, and on the one hand, they sent one person back to report the news, and on the other hand, they quickly dared to go to the place where the fire started.
When they arrived at the starting point of the fire, the nearby Ba people were already nervously fighting the fire.
One after another Ba people were hurriedly pumping water from the well not far away, and then rushed to the fire, screaming and falling hard, and then they didn't have time to check, so they were urged by the Ba people behind them to give way, so they turned around and rushed to the well.
The Qin people saw that the fire had been brought under control by the rescue of the Ba people, and although it had not been extinguished, it had not spread again.
Then I saw that the people nearby were all running back and forth with buckets and basins, in a hurry and orderly, panicked but not chaotic, all of them looked like they were in a hurry to put out the fire.
Seeing this, the commander of the Qin people immediately shouted: "Quick, help put out the fire immediately." โ
"No!"
The other three Qin people, under the leadership of Wu Chang, immediately ran to the well, picked up the bucket handed by the Ba people, and hurried towards the fire.
When he came to the place where the fire started, he immediately poured the barrel with force, and the water was poured on the flame, and immediately emitted:
"Ahh
The four Qin people let out a miserable scream at the same time, and before they could turn back, they were cut off their heads.
The Qin people's screams instantly stunned the nearby Ba people.
Everyone is obviously here to put out the fire, why did they suddenly kill the Qin people who came to save people?
Just when everyone was shocked, Zheng Feng walked into the crowd with a group of Ba people, took the head of the Qin army chief from the hands of a Ba people, and then stood on a stone, raised the head in his hand, and shouted: "Fathers and brothers, I am Zheng Feng of the Zheng clan. โ
"Jung Bong..."
"The great nobleman of the Zheng family!"
"General Zheng!"
When everyone saw Zheng Feng, their panicked mood suddenly calmed down.
In the past, the country of Ba was founded, and the five surnames of Ba, Fan, Xiang, and Zheng jointly decided the leader, headed by the Ba clan, and the other four clans were supplemented by the Ba clan.
The five surnames have a long history, and their leaders have a high reputation among the Ba people, and now Zheng Feng has stood up, and the surrounding Ba people suddenly have the backbone.
At this time, Zheng Feng saw that the surrounding Ba people had gathered towards him, and there were already more than 200 people, and the surrounding Ba people were still gathering here under the attraction of the fire, so he immediately shouted:
"Fathers and brothers, more than ten years ago, the Qin people reneged on the covenant and took advantage of the time when our Pakistani army was full, and attacked our country, destroyed my country, seized my land, and destroyed my homeland. Since then, since the time of the Emperor, the land that the Ba people have worked so hard to open up is no longer owned by the grandson of the Emperor. โ
As he spoke, Zheng Feng yelled at the Ba people who gathered more and more around him: "The country is destroyed, the land is taken away, and the homeland is destroyed, do you hate it? โ
At this time, the people brought by Zheng Feng, as well as many Ba people who were provoked to be dissatisfied, immediately responded loudly: "Hate! โ
