Chapter 124: Zhang Yi's Plans
Time flies quickly, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.
After Ying Xuan played with Jing Xueying for seven or eight days at first, he heard the news that Jing Yu, the envoy of the State of Chu, sent an envoy to the State of Song.
Since then, Jing Xueying has stayed in the inner courtyard, and the gate is not out of the door.
But fortunately, every time Ying Xuan goes out, he will buy some new and interesting objects or some snacks to bring back to Jing Xueying, which makes Jing Xueying feel less boring.
After so many days, there was finally some movement on the Qin side.
The Qin and Song dynasties were separated by thousands of miles, and the transmission of news was extremely inconvenient, so Ying Xuan waited for thousands of times to receive the first letter from Zhang Yi a few days ago.
When Ying Xuan erased the seal and read the letter inside, he was a little shocked in his heart.
Except for the first few polite words of greeting Ying Xuan, the whole letter is full of Zhang Yi's deployment of this campaign plan. What shocked Ying Xuan was that the first half of the plan in the letter was exactly the same as Yin Huahao's previous opinion.
"With such insight at a young age, the future of the Song Kingdom should not be underestimated~"
Ying Xuan sighed and continued to read the letter. The trace of shock on his face had just faded, and after seeing the second half of Zhang Yi's letter, he was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but sigh, "Zhang Zizhicai, Fang is a national soldier!" ”
It turned out that Zhang Yi thought that the two countries of Fujian and Han would eventually resist the temptation and attack Chen Guo. Zhang Yi wanted to inform Wu Yue of his dealings with Fujian and Han, and instigated Wu Yue to cut off the grain and grass of Fujian and attack Han.
However, with the strength of Wu and Yue, even if it was a sneak attack, it was not the opponent of Fujian and Han, so Zhang Yi attracted the attention of the neighbor of Han, Nanping.
The national strength of Nanping is medium among the five countries, not inferior to Fujian and Han. However, since the Nanping State several decades ago, it has put its strategic center into the extreme west, the dispute between Wei, Shu and Wu.
In the extreme west, among the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, Wei is the strongest, and after the alliance between Shu and Wu, they are in opposition, and no one can help each other.
The western part of Nanping is adjacent to the Wei State, and when the supply of grain and grass was insufficient in the past two wars, the Wei State regarded the Nanping State in the east as its own granary and plundered it on a large scale. Wei was brave, and Nanping knew that the difference in strength between the two countries was very large after several wars with Wei.
Since then, although Nanping has not submitted to Wei, in the name of business, whenever a war breaks out in the extreme west, a large amount of grain and grass will be given to Wei in exchange for equivalent gold, silver and jewelry (the profits from the sale of grain, grass and weapons in the war are at least ten times higher, and Nanping gives Wei the usual market price). Since then, there have been many complaints in the temple of Nanping Kingdom, but they dare not turn their faces because they are afraid of the Wei State soldiers.
Five years earlier, the king of Wei had died, and the new king of Wei, Cao Cao, had taken a very different approach to the oppression of the Nanping kingdom than his father.
In one fell swoop, Cao Cao built three medium-sized cities on the border between Wei and Nanping for merchants from the two countries to trade fairly. He also gave some advanced forging technology of Wei to Nanping for free.
Since Cao Cao ascended the throne and became king, Wei and Nanping have developed a lot faster, and the national strength of Nanping is now not inferior to any of the Fujian and Han countries, which makes the civil and military generals in the temple of Nanping complain less and less, and gradually recognize the identity of the big brother of Wei.
Zhang Yi expected that if Nanping Kingdom was really content with this situation, he would never watch the equilibrium and containment of the four countries be broken.
Once the Min and Han countries conquered the Chen State, the Nanping State could only form an alliance with Wu Yue in order to protect itself. At that time, the strategic direction of Nanping could only be placed in the land of Xiqi.
At present, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu are in a state of stalemate, and Wei will definitely not send troops to protect Nanping because the equilibrium of the five kingdoms of Xiqi has been broken.
For Wei, Nanping was a rare help, which allowed Wei to have no worries when he went to war with Shu Wu. However, the current Wei State has not yet been able to suppress the trend of the Shu-Wu Alliance, and it is categorically unable to transfer troops to help the Nanping State. At best, Wei could only cooperate with Nanping to conduct a military drill to deter the Min and Han countries.
Therefore, in Zhang Yi's view, no matter whether Nanping is satisfied with the status quo or not, it will not sit idly by and watch the two countries break the equilibrium.
Zhang Yi went to persuade the two kings of Min and Han first, so that the two countries couldn't resist the temptation to attack Chen, and then persuaded King Wu Yue to attack Fujian, and waited until Min dragged Wu Yue and let Han lead the army to attack Chen, Zhang Yi went to Nanping again, informed the king of Nanping of the war situation, and sent troops to Han.
In this way, the five kingdoms of Xiqi were completely chaotic, and the Qin State repelled the 100,000 troops of the Chen State that were in turmoil, and when the morale was boiling, Ying Ke waved his arms and gathered the soldiers of the sons and daughters of the various clans to counterattack the Chen State and capture a county.
In this letter, Zhang Yi also made it clear that the risks were extremely high, and Zhang Yi's understanding of the temperament of the monarchs of various countries came from books and folk reviews, and the advice did not have a very good chance. Moreover, it is necessary to grasp the matter very quickly and precisely, otherwise it will not allow all countries to fall into a quagmire, and it is very easy to get out of it. In this way, if the Qin State wants to seize the first county of the Chen State under the eyes of the Five Kingdoms, it is absolutely impossible.
Just like Zhang Yi persuaded the King of Min before, but he didn't expect the King of Min to be so stupid, after listening to Zhang Yi's persuasion, he made some changes, and he had the intention of King Lahan attacking Chen together. Originally, Zhang Yi also thought that the king of Min would gather the courtiers and discuss in the temple for seven or eight days, so that he could calmly go to the Han Kingdom first.
But after Zhang Yi noticed that the King of Min had moved, he knew that it was not far from the King of Min attacking Chen, so he should go to the State of Chen as soon as possible to avoid delaying the opportunity.
All these changes will not be as smooth as Zhang Yi imagined, and the difficulties in the middle have to be solved by Zhang Yi himself!
After burning the letter, Ying Xuan opened the window and door, facing the cold wind and his eyes were deep.
At present, a bloody storm is about to set off in the land of Xiqi, and Ying Xuan is thousands of miles away and cannot intervene. And the office of the Song Kingdom uses the Yang family as a knife, and Huo Huo, who sharpens the knife, has already moved his mind about the family, and Ying Xuan has no foundation in the Song Kingdom, and he has no strength to help any party, so he can only protect himself. After it was rumored that Zuixianlou had the support of the Tang and Song dynasties, there was no need to bother with Ying Xuan.
Now, Ying Xuan has reached the point where there is nothing to do.
"Count the days, the matter over Ma Tianyuan's side should also be over."
When it comes to Ma Tianyuan, Ying Xuan still hopes that he can serve under his command after all, not to mention that Ma Tianyuan is at least a martial arts master in the first-class realm, for Ying Xuan, he has more grace to teach swords.
But since Ying Xuan unreservedly exposed his ambitions in front of Ma Tianyuan, Ma Tianyuan had to make a choice. For the time being, Ying Xuan will never allow any outsider to know about his ambitions.
Once this matter spreads, not only will Ying Ke feel sorry for him, but I am afraid that there will be many uninvited guests on the way back, and even Ying Ke no longer intends to take Ying Xuan back to Qin.
Ying Xuan understands this, and Ma Tianyuan naturally understands it......
Shaocheng Mountain stands in the mountains, the terrain is flat, it looks like a city from a distance, and it has been called Shaocheng Mountain by the world since then.
At this time, billowing black smoke floated out of Shaocheng Mountain, and the screams were extremely desolate, through the surrounding dense forest, startling away the nearby birds and beasts.
"Who is Your Excellency, where did I offend Your Excellency in Qingfeng Gate, and let Your Excellency be killed like this!"
Lu Yuan, the head of Qingfeng Sect, lay on the ground, leaving dozens of non-lethal sword marks on his body. With his second-grade consummation realm's martial arts, he was far from being the opponent of the man in black in front of him, and the swordsman's swordsmanship in black was extremely powerful, and the move hit him, but he only left a sword wound that was not light or serious, and he did not mean to end himself with a sword.
From this moment on, Lu Yuan knew that this person must have a great grudge with Qingfengmen, and it had reached the point where it could not be resolved.
Seeing that the remaining dozen or so people in his vein were surrounded by this group of black-clothed people, and there was no way to live, he asked unwillingly.
Ma Tianyuan, who was dressed in black, ignored Lu Yuan, pointed the tip of his sword at the gray-clothed old man behind Lu Yuan, and said coldly, "Lu Shan, I didn't die twenty years ago, have you thought of today?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Shan's pupils shrank, looked at Ma Tianyuan looking at him with cold eyes, sighed, and said, "Sure enough, it's you, I should have thought of... You'll be back! ”
"Back then, you were afraid of the power of the king of Shandong, so you attacked my father and killed all of my father's lineage. Today... All the disciples of the year, don't even think about running away! ”
When he said this, Ma Tianyuan was full of murderous intent, he swung his long sword, and shouted angrily, "Do it!" ”
Fifty black-clothed killers heard the sound and waved the sharp blades in their hands, taking their lives one by one.
Lu Shan and Lu Yuan, father and son, were unwilling, and swung their swords to fight back, killing several good players in a row.
"Humph! Dying! ”
Ma Tianyuan snorted disdainfully, slid left and right through the crowd, and stabbed Lu Yuan with a sword.
This sword was very sudden, Lu Shan looked at the blade that was approaching him, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly swung his sword to resist.
However, the injuries on his body were not light, and there was a huge gap between him and Ma Tianyuan in martial arts, only to hear the sound of the bell, the long sword in Lu Yuan's hand came out of his hand, and before he could struggle, a bright sword flashed from his throat......
"Far away!"
Lu Shan looked at the head that fell to the ground, his eyes were frightened, he looked up at Ma Tianyuan, who was standing in front of him, looked at him with a cold expression, roared sadly, and stabbed with his sword.
"I want you to pay for my son's life!"
Lu Shan's strength poured out, and the sword flashed faintly, and the power was extraordinary.
Hearing this, Ma Tianyuan sneered, and was unmoved by Lu Shan's sword, and greeted him with a sword.
Clang!
Hearing a crisp sound of iron colliding, Lu Shan took a few steps back, spit out a mouthful of blood, pointed at Ma Tianyuan and said with a shocked face, "You... Your cultivation! ”
Ma Tianyuan glanced at Lu Shan, who was full of horror, and without saying much, he walked forward directly, and the Flowing Wind Sword Technique was frequently used.
The Liufeng Sword Technique is one of the three major town schools of Qingfeng Gate, which is profound and mysterious. Lu Shan, who was a great elder in the past, naturally also practiced this sword technique, but it was a pity that when he spent ten years practicing this sword technique to the realm of Xiaocheng, he has been stagnant.
When he saw Ma Tianyuan's Flowing Wind Sword Technique close to the consummation realm being displayed, his heart was full of strength, and he had the idea of giving up struggling.
Ma Tianyuan felt Lu Shan's decline, his right arm swung out again and again, and the tip of the sword drew three sword flowers in the air, Lu Shan had a flower in front of his eyes, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart, and before he could react, at the heart of the sword flower in the middle, a long sword poked out, and a sword pierced into Lu Shan's throat!
