Chapter 635: The Rainstorm and the King
Outside the tent, heavy rain fell suddenly, and the sound of rushing rain came in.
In the big tent decorated with swords, guns, swords, and halberds, Guangchen danced between the two, and Gongsun Zhi listened to Jia Xu's strategy, and the whole person was immersed in silence. The old man over there was also looking at the wolf king, his eyes looked at it calmly for a while, and then moved away, just as the moist air blew in with the wind and soaked into the human skin, the corners of Gongsun Zhi's mouth opened and the words rang out.
"Wenhe's courage is really big, counterattacking Chang'an, Wancheng killing Cao Cao, Yuzhou releasing the plague, everything is walking on the edge of the cliff, nearly 200,000 people take it to you to gamble, if it fails, you can know that there is no way to make up for it."
"The wolf king who gallops on the battlefield also has something he doesn't dare to do?" Jia Xu turned his head, walked back to his seat with a smile, shook the hem of his robe, and sat down: "Coming to Daqin is nothing more than killing people and robbing them, and killing the Emperor of Daqin is the simplest and most direct way." He cocked up his fingers: "....... What's more, if the other party sends it to the door himself, how can the governor not take it? β
Gongsun Zhi leaned back on the back of the chair, gently rubbed the thick short beard of his chin with the armrest, and looked out of the rolled up curtain, the dense rain line filled the mist, "Whether the Great Qin Emperor is coming or not, and how many troops have been sent over, it is not yet known, you should be cautious in this plan." β
After a while, his eyes narrowed: "You know, only a few people know, no one else knows, once the fake defeat may become a real defeat, the expedition is here, we can't afford to lose, and it is a luxury to want to retreat when the time comes." β
ββ¦β¦ For the sake of the plotter, how can he only plot one game. Jia Xu looked at the rippling wine lines in the cup, his eyes slightly slanted to the corners of his eyes, and looked at the wolf king on the upper position.
The elbow on the chair was lowered, Gongsun Zhi turned his head, looked at the old man who was drinking alone, and said, "Wenhe, what is next?" I said it all. β
"Now that the Governor has led his army into Assyria, which is only a few hundred miles away from Asia Minor, and there are no mountains and rivers in between, do you think the Great Qin Emperor will let it go?"
"Naturally, it won't ...... Well, I see. The Wolf King stared at the map, his gaze condensed.
Jia Xu also looked at the half-depicted map over there, and nodded: "The road is smooth and unimpeded, Daqin will inevitably send a large army to meet it, it is often heard that Daqin people are good at fighting formations, and they will naturally come in formation. Their emperor must know in his heart, since they think so, it is better to follow their wishes, as long as they pay attention to attract them, concentrate in one place, and the opportunity for the governor will come......."
"Go on." On the big chair, the tall figure stood up and walked to the tent with his hands in his hands.
The old man then stood up: "...... The above is just the first step of chess, I heard that the Emperor of Great Qin is only a soldier, from below to such a throne, there will inevitably be people in the country who are not satisfied, this is one, the second: the emperor has an heir under his knees, once the emperor is in danger, the brothers are in the wall, from ancient times to the present, the royal family is unstable, the front-line army has no fighting spirit, even if the copper wall will be defeated like a mountain. β
"Wen He is right, it's roughly decided, and I will discuss the details with Xun Chen and others later." Gongsun Zhi stretched out his arm and grabbed Jia Xu over, pinched the other party's shoulder hard, and then said word by word: "The battle in front, I will carry it, and the next move, you will play, it stinks, I will use your head to accuse the three armies." β
The palm of his hand then patted the old man's shoulder vigorously, "...... This is not a joke, once it fails, it is necessary to have people responsible for the officers and men of the whole army. β
"I understand."
The voice fell to the last note, Gongsun stopped watching the scribe leave in the rain, stretched out his hand to summon Li Ke to give a few words, dispatched a group of people for the poisoner to send, and then asked Dian Wei to go out to help, and he was the only one left in the whole big tent to sit there, looking at the wine shaking in the cup, slightly distracted.
In fact, this is not as simple as a gamble, how and how many people did the Roman army meet him, and the soldiers of the western expedition behind him, although it is not clear, but there is one point, setting up an ambush to limit the scope of cavalry movement, it must be the layout of the other side. And what he had to do was release enough bait for the scattered fish to come together.......
The tent was quiet, Gongsun Zhi walked to the tent, the sound of the rain came clearly in his ears, and the wet and cold water vapor hit his face.
β¦β¦.
The sky and the earth are filled with mist, this afternoon most of the soldiers stay in the tent to talk and laugh, the patrolling soldiers wear coats from all directions, Lu Xun ran past them soaked, returned to his own camp tent, wiped the water stains, looked at the rain pillar outside, remembered something, the corners of his mouth couldn't help laughing, at the same time, in a tent in the state military camp, Hongling swayed with the wind and rain at the tent, the girl held her chin and wiped her weapons, and flipped through the military book, looking at the heavy rain and dozing off boringly.
In a nearby camp tent, a general named Gao Shun opened the wooden box in his hand, threw the exquisite and luxurious necklace aside, sat down behind the desk with a big horse golden knife, listened to the sound of rain outside, and ate the candied fruit and dim sum inside one by one, chewing expressionlessly.
It was really good weather.
On the other table next to them, Xiahou Yuan pressed a chess piece, and the black man with the leopard's head and eyes on the opposite side showed an angry face, shouting: "Fuck your mother-in-law-" overturned the table and strode into the rain curtain.
β¦β¦β¦
The raindrops splashed on the footsteps, Gongsun Zhi looked at the hazy rain scene, slowly raised his hand, and the rippling wine tilted down and sprinkled on the ground.
"This glass of wine...... First of all. β
He spoke softly.
β¦β¦
In the Xiliang military camp, the sky was dark, and the Ma brothers pulled their only sister to hide in the tent, and gathered around under the lights to discuss some things. It seemed mysterious and unspeakable, at this time, the girl who was sandwiched between the brothers, her face was red, she lowered her eyes embarrassedly, pinched the corner of her clothes, and whispered: "This is not good......
On the opposite side, Ma Chao slammed the desk, and solemnly took a roll of bamboo slips: "The Art of War: If you are not prepared to attack it, you must follow the Art of War, Zhao Zilong will definitely take it, listen to it as a brother, that's rightββ"
Back in the camp, Pan Feng looked at the sheepskin map on the table with the tip of his pen, sketched various arrow marks on it from time to time, and laughed excitedly when he thought of some possibility of victory, "Hahaha!" In this way, I can fight ten Great Qin troops, haha-"
β¦β¦.
"...... for the sake of Daqin, drink to win!"
At the mouth of the tent, the robe was swaying in the wind and rain, Gongsun Zhi looked at the wine stains on the ground diluted in the stagnant water, turned around and walked back to the first place, put his hands on the armrests on both sides, and fell into silence, the rain outside was rattling, and Wolf Wei, Li Ke, and Dian Wei stood outside and didn't dare to approach and disturb for a while.
On the large lonely chair, a huge pressure enveloped the ...... Then, war was coming.
The sky was thousands of miles away to the east, the heavy rain had cleared, and the sky had sunk in the east. Xudu, Yuzhou, the lights in the city are extended, the watchman knocks on the bangzi from the streets and alleys, and walks through the backyard of Caofu, busy, and from time to time there are two voices of women arguing.
The study in the front yard is relatively quiet, in the open window lattice, Cao Cao, who is full of beard in the slight moonlight, sits under the lamplight, looking at the letter in his hand from the west, the cloth is not similar to the Han Dynasty, and the hair is stiff, but the content on it makes him laugh from time to time.
"...... Wenruo, Fengxiao, guess where Gongsun and they hit?" Cao Cao, who was almost fifty, had a lot of white marks in his beard, he pointed to the handwriting on it, and smiled even more: "This is the first time it was delivered back after the beginning of spring, and it took almost half a year to get here." β
"It seems that Gongsun Dudu has hit the sky..... cough cough ....." A scribe next to him clutched his chest and coughed a few times, his pale face flushed: "....... That...... How will the lord inspire His Majesty to reward him in the future? β
Xun Yu on the other side stopped his cup and looked at the first kneeling figure.
"Yes, Dawan surrendered, established diplomatic relations with Guishan..... and became a vassal, the letter of state is already on the way, and there will probably be no fake at this time." Cao Cao put down the letter, looked at the glass cup placed in his hand, and carved it with a delicate woman, and couldn't help but stroke it on a certain part of the bare part, "It's not too much to ..... such a merit to be crowned king, just crown the king." β
Boom......
During the banquet, the cup fell, Xun Yu hurriedly got up, and arched his hand: "Lord, this matter cannot be precedent..... once it is opened.....
"Ahem..... Jia thinks it's nothing to crown Gongsun Du as a king...... Cough...... Labor expedition, the defeat of the army is either exiled or killed..... not to mention the surrender of other countries all the way, the expansion of territory, the power of the Han Dynasty spread thousands of miles, such a grand event, rare in the ages......"
"As soon as the king is opened, how many non-Liu kings will come out later?"
"If you don't become a king, it's hard to be convincing!"
Cao Cao listened to the words of the two people in the room, smiled and waved his hand: "Put this matter aside for the time being, Naisao said casually, Wen Ruo should not be too entangled, Feng Xiao is just a joke on my topic, okay, the night is late, there are still many political affairs to be busy tomorrow, go back and rest." β
"Farewell." Xun Yu glanced at Guo Jia, got up and arched his hand, and left first. After the latter left, he slowly got up: "Jia also took his leave." β
Cao Cao raised his hand: "I'll send you out." β
The two of them walked under the long eaves, a team of guards patrolled from this side, and when they saw the black-robed figure walking in front, they bowed and saluted, Cao Cao nodded at them, and then spoke: "Why did Feng Xiao take my joke before, thinking that he really wanted to crown Gongsun as the king?" β
The young man followed behind, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "...... has set a precedent, and the lord will be able to do it in the future, with a lot less resistance. β
In front of the ".......", Cao Cao walked silently, and after a while, his voice was low: "Then Fengxiao thinks, what king should be given to Gongsun, and where should the fief be?" β
"And Jinyang."
The footsteps of walking stopped, and Cao Cao looked at him with a slight sideways face, quite surprised: "Why?" β
"Shanggu County is the foundation of the Gongsun Governor, if the king is there, he will only sit big in the future, and he will not be controlled by the imperial court, and although Jinyang is a state governor, it is not far from Sizhou, and there are many local families, so he can form a lot of shackles on him, so he can't do whatever he wants like the border land, and even Liaodong will gradually get out of his control."
"Feng Xiao, this is trying to capture the old people...... King Jin..... haha! Cao Cao smiled and took a step, walked to the eaves, looked at the brilliant galaxy with his hands, and took a breath: "...... Fengxiao, do you say that Gongsun can fight Daqin, and to what extent the war has progressed." β
"I don't know, but it should be soon." The pale-faced young man also looked at Xingyue and replied softly.
Thousands of miles to the west, from the Assyrian province to Pamirra, from east to west along the avenues, fields, and deserts, the fleeing Roman civilians fled in a north-south, or further westerly direction, and behind them, the huge eastern army was crushed like a recovering monster, and a large number of steppe light horsemen scattered in all directions, launching a tail-tail pursuit, and the corpses were scattered like a tidal wave on the route of escape.
On the ninth day of the sixth month, a banner of men and horses painted with bows appeared on the plain, and in half a month, the first Roman legion appeared, rushing towards the headquarters of Louban.
