Cuihan Road, an ancient road connecting Cheng Zhou and Qin, has existed since the Xia Hou Gao era and has been around for more than 1,000 years. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The basic direction of the info Cuihan Ancient Road, if you take Yucheng as the center of the circle, the route to the west is Yucheng - Taolinsai - Hanguguan, so it is also called the Han Road. The route to the east, because it is dug in the mountains and stretches, is called the road of the road.

The road that Wang Sunsheng suggested to take is the Kun Road.

The thief's hand began to draw a line on the map, going from the west of Mengjin, passing through Michi, passing the southern tomb where Xiahou Gao's tomb was located, and then passing the northern tomb where King Wen of Zhou had sheltered from the wind and rain, and then arriving at Yucheng.

"Kui Dao, this is indeed the fastest way for us to go east to Yucheng."

Wang Sun Sheng said in his heart Isn't this nonsense, but he listened to the thief and said: "However, this road is located in a deep and dangerous valley, the terrain is dangerous, and the narrow place can only accommodate a carriage to pass, as the so-called car is not square, the horse is not bridled, and the road is as long as two hundred miles, and our army of more than 10,000 people will have to walk for six or seven days to get out of the valley." ”

"The Han clan was the same as a few years ago, without fighting, and was attacked by Qin, Wei and Zhengyi, and in two months, they lost all the places that should not be lost. The commander of the Zheng army's westward expedition is You Su, the strength has reached 15,000 people, if he is defenseless, it is fine, if he is prepared, only need to place 2,000 people on both sides of the road, can make our army in a dilemma, not only can not save Han at that time, but will even repeat the mistakes of Qin Mengmingshi, Xi Qishu, and Bai Yibing. Therefore, you can't take the road. “

Although the thief rejected Wang Sunsheng's proposal, he did not become angry because of this, but looked at the thief with some surprise, feeling that he had underestimated him before.

A literate and knowledgeable bandit is really interesting.

"What do you think the general is going to do?" If you want to go to Yucheng, in addition to taking the Kun Road on the south bank of the Da River, it is from the river bank at the southern foot of Wangwu Mountain, which is also steep and abnormal, and it will take longer than taking the Kun Road, and it is not a good idea to face the Qin and Wei coalition forces in the east of the river first.

"Let me ask you, back then, King Wu of Zhou asked the Duke of Zhou to look for a new capital in the east, and finally chose Cheng Zhou, what is the basis?"

Wang Sunsheng has never been in vain for the school: "Because Cheng Zhou is a place of victory." King Wu once said to the Duke of Zhou, Luoyang looks at Santu in the south, Yue in the north, Gu Zhan has a river, and Yue Zhanluo and Yi can really be described as the four solids of rivers and mountains, so he built the eastern capital here. “

"If you talk about the dangers that must be passed from the south of Chengzhou to the river, what are they?"

"Naturally, it's the Bear's Ears Mountain that isolates Yiluo Ershui......" Wang Sunsheng was stunned: "General Liuxia, do you want to ......"

The thief bared his teeth and smiled: "Yes, we will go directly through from Chengzhou, break through Lu Hunyi, and then kill along the northern foot of Bears Ears Mountain to the upper reaches of Yishui, and then **** the land, so that the retreat of the Zheng people will be completely blocked!" ”

He looked at Wang Sunsheng: "What do you think?" ”

"First, this will go farther, and there will be Zheng Jun guarding all the way. Shangqing's military order is to save Han, not ......"

"Fallacious, those who don't plan for the overall situation are not enough to seek a corner, you still don't understand Shangqing's intentions? To fight an unprecedented battle in Hedong, Hewai, Hexi, and Shangjun, our task is not only to protect the Han clan, but also to block the back road of the Zheng people so that they cannot escape. Moreover, attacking the Yin Land, the base camp of Zheng Rentun's grain, Zheng Ren will inevitably retreat when he hears the news, so won't the siege of the Han clan be relieved? ”

Wang Sunsheng did not refute it again, and continued: "Second, what the generals want to do is probably to make dangerous moves and catch Zheng Guoren off guard, but judging from the current news, Zheng Ren has been well prepared for the back road, so he swaggered past from Cheng Zhou, and it will not play a role in winning by surprise at all. ”

He made an analogy a little rudely: "When the general was a robber back then, he burglarized, did he still swagger past the main gate and let the master see it?" ”

The thief laughed.

"You're right." The thief patted Wang Sunsheng on the shoulder: "When I was a thief, I stole and looted, and I did swagger in from the main gate of the mansion. ”

Wang Sunsheng was speechless.

The thief had already made up his mind, and sneered: "I just want to let the Zhou room at both ends of the first rat know that Zhao Jun is not easy to mess with, and also let Zheng Guoren know that I am coming, let You Su retreat cautiously, and concentrate his forces to fight a battle with me, rather than searching for defeated soldiers all over the mountains, it is more suitable for me to complete the battle in one battle!" ”

He licked his lips and tongue, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes: "First of all, we want to borrow from Zhou Tianzi to see what Luoyang City, which is known as the middle of the world, is like." ”

……

"Liu Qing came early."

"Shan Qing is also early."

Early one morning in early March, the two most powerful people in Chengzhou City, except for Zhou Tianzi, Shan Qing Shan Ping and Liu Qing and Liu Cheng met in the same city.

Unlike ten years ago, when the Liu clan was strong and the Shan clan was a foil, after the Liu clan's supported Fan, Zhongxing, and Zhi clans were defeated in the Battle of Liuqing, Zhao Wuxian monopolized the Jin power, so Liu Gong's line began to be marginalized in Cheng Zhou, and the pro-Zhao Shan clan began to take power.

Although the Shan family is pro-Zhao, but after all, it is forced, Zhao Wuxian Zeng Xingbing crossed Mengjin and will Chang Hong to leave, although he did not directly use troops against the royal family, but his disregard for etiquette and law can not get along well with the extremely conservative Zhou royal family. Especially when he eliminated the Qing clan of Wei and Di without the permission of the royal family, and replaced him with the children of the Zhao family, the Zhao family had the potential to unify the entire Central Plains, and the Zhou royal family went up to the Son of Heaven and down to the Qing Doctor, and he was even more jealous of him.

But what can you do if you are afraid, the reason why the Zhou royal family can gain a foothold in the Central Plains is because of military strength? Of course not, they can't even afford to raise an army, and the so-called "six divisions" have no combat effectiveness at all. Zhou Tianzi has been able to continue until now, not relying on the little legacy handed down by his ancestors, and Jin Zheng is Yiyi?

But now that Zheng Guo has supported the rebellion of the Prince Dynasty, and the relationship with the Zhou Wanglu line is extremely poor, and the only remaining Jin Marquis is also difficult to protect himself, the Zhou family can only wag his tail at Zhao Wuxian, the secretary of the Jin State, hoping that he can take care of the face of the royal family and restrain a little like his ancestor Zhao Wenzi.

For this reason, he even did not hesitate to send people to support Zhao Wuxian to support his "joint column" against Qin Qi and Zheng Wei's "Lianheng".

Although they nominally support the Zhao family, in fact, Shan Ping and Liu Cheng have made a small calculation in their hearts, if Lian Heng can press the vertical end and make the Central Plains pattern even again, then the Zhou royal family will have the opportunity to stand up and shout a pause and act as an arbiter, and they will be able to get out of the situation of being forced by the Zhao family to breathless.

But what they didn't expect was that the war had not yet been divided into winners and losers, but the army was on the way first.

In the past few years, Mengjin has become the main transportation route for Zhao Han to and from the south to the north, and the royal family has turned a blind eye to them crossing the river by the way, but now, something more terrible has happened, Zhao Jun, blatantly requested, passed by the edge of the royal city!

For a time, the royal family of the Zhou royal family and the doctors of the Qing Dynasty were in an uproar, and each family hoped that the ruling Shan Ping and the second secretary Liu Cheng would refuse on the grounds that "after the soldiers, there will be thorns".

But where did Shan Ping and Liu Cheng dare? If he didn't agree, what should Zhao Jun do if he forcibly crossed the border regardless of the royal family's face? After discussing with the Son of Heaven, they still agreed to Zhao Jun's borrowing, but they were not allowed to stay on the outskirts of Wangcheng.

Not only that, Shan Ping and Liu Cheng also let the so-called "Sixth Division" of the Zhou Room be armed again, hiding in the city with shabby weapons and armor, just in case, and the two of them were not at ease, so they came to the city early in the morning to watch.

"Shan Qing rest assured, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and Zhao Jun does not dare to be presumptuous, even if they are doing anything wrong, the Son of Heaven naturally has six divisions to protect him."

Shan Ping glanced at Liu Cheng gloomily, not knowing if he was pretending to be confused and sarcastic, or if he wanted to say some lies to cheer each other up.

Before moving eastward, the six divisions of the Zhou royal family were so powerful, sweeping through the Yin Shang, exterminating the rebels, blooming in all directions, in the southeast and northwest, and all of them were vassals. But gradually, the soldiers lost their land and became a soap subordinate, and the six divisions had become a mixed armed force composed of lords at all levels, and after the disaster of Lishan, even this little bit of armament was lost, and the Zhou royal family was left with an empty shelf, hiding in Chengzhou to continue to squander the wealth left by the ancestors.

After the rebellion of the prince's dynasty, the last bit of wealth was thrown away, the royal family was divided, and the doctors also killed each other, consuming their vitality to the point that there was nothing left, which is why the Zhou family was so weak that they couldn't even get together the arms of a few thousand people.

If the Zhao army who crossed the border really had bad intentions, there was nothing they could do.

The two waited tremblingly on the city for most of the hour, and finally waited for Zhao Jun who had crossed the border.

The smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, Zhao Jun had arrived, Liu Cheng and Shan Ping looked at each other again, and said in their hearts: "I hope that Zhao will be able to keep the courtesy." ”

However, what they didn't know was that the commander of this Zhao army was called Liu Xia Plantar, who regarded the prince as a thief of dung!
