"What is Brother Zhong's strategy?" King Chu asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It is better to cut off one of its fingers than to injure its nine fingers and concentrate superior forces to fight a war of annihilation." Zhong Wuregret said resolutely: "Yongguo and Lu Guo are in the upper reaches of the Han River, living in the mountains and wilderness. The state of Chu is in the lower reaches of the Han River, in the plain Jiangling. Yong, Lu attack Chu, down the river, relatively easy; The state of Chu was fighting against the current, and the process was slow, which was not conducive to the attack.

Rear instability is a taboo for the establishment of a country, and Yong and Lu are not weak and small states, once Yong is in trouble, Chu has to go all out to meet the enemy, so that our country is often restrained when fighting with the northern Central Plains countries, and this time it is just taking advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Yong and Lu. ”

"Brother Zhong's thoughts coincide with mine." The king of Chu was overjoyed.

"Fighting snakes and hitting seven inches, Yongguo first provoked this rebellion, as long as he attacks Yongguo with all his might, the barbarians will naturally retreat in fear." Zhong Wuregret continued: "First of all, hang the war exemption card in the north, close the north gate of Shen and Xi, the northern gateways of the Chu State, and prevent the Central Plains princes such as the Jin State from taking advantage of the fire to rob. Then, he sent an envoy to Qin and Ba to jointly attack Yong and destroy it in one fell swoop. ”

"Time is in a hurry, are Qin and Pakistan willing to send troops immediately?" The King of Chu had some doubts.

"Exchanges between countries are nothing more than the trend of interests. Yongguo is blocked between the gateways of Chu, Qin and Ba, once Yongguo is destroyed, the road between the three kingdoms is smooth, and each has its own gains, and it will definitely send troops. Zhong Wuregret said very surely.

"In that case, is Brother Zhong willing to send an envoy to the Qin State?" King Chu asked.

"I am a brick of the king of Chu, where I need to move it, and I don't want to say anything." Zhong Wuregret said with a smile.

The king of Chu was happy and said, "Brother Zhong said that he was laughing. Then he sighed with deep emotion: "It is really a great luck for me to meet Brother Zhong, I remember that the young master once told me that Brother Zhong once swore that he would do his best to help the prince achieve the cause of the overlord in the future." Now, the state of Chu has just started, and I hope that Brother Zhong will not abandon me halfway. ”

The king of Chu said very earnestly, and there were two tears flashing in his eyes. Zhong Wuregret was deeply moved, and said: "I Zhong Wuregret does not seek power, does not seek great profits, only hopes that the king can keep my Zhong Mansion safe, I will do my best, and then die." ”

"Brother Zhong said this, is there someone who wants to harm Zhong Mansion?" King Chu was thoughtful, and he heard that Zhong Wuregret had something to say, so he hurriedly asked.

Zhong Wuxian smiled bitterly and said: "If it is a personal vendetta of killing your father and wife, and seizing land, you can easily know who the opponent is. However, it is difficult to say about the power struggle involving the court, this is also the most cruel and complicated battle, the obstacles to the king's ascension to the throne have been swept away one by one, who knows how much strength they still hide in the palace, in order to avenge the head of the family, will they find a chance to retaliate against me?

If they can't outtly defeat me, will they hurt people secretly? For example, slander can kill people, borrowing a knife can also kill people, and sometimes, I can destroy my Zhongfu without blood, the king said that I can not worry? ”

The King of Chu didn't squeak, and was silent for a while before he said, "Brother Zhong told me, how can I protect the Zhong Mansion?" ”

"I don't know." Zhong Wuregret said honestly: "I only hope that when the king hears the news that someone is trying to harm me, no matter who it is, he can tell me in advance." ”

"I promise you!" King Chu said sincerely, and then asked, "When can Brother Zhong leave for Qin?" Time is too urgent, there is no way. ”

"One more thing, be sure to ask the king for mercy......"

Before Zhong Wuregret finished speaking, the King of Chu immediately continued: "It's Miss Lingbo's business, right?" ”

Zhong Wuregret said: "I went to the Qin State here, I have no time to take care of Miss Lingbo, she is actually not a real enemy, please find a way to save her life." ”

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to handle it." King Chu comforted.

"It's not that I'm grinding, it's true that there are too many things, I'll go and see the Queen Mother again, and I'll be ready to go." Zhong Wuregret said.

"See the Queen Mother? Oh, I know," King Chu smiled and patted Zhong Wuregret's shoulder: "You want to find Chanjuan, the first beauty of Chu State, right?" You've mentioned her more than once in front of me, and that's never been the case! If you like her, I can ask Princess Blue and White to help, how about it? However, she is the master of Princess Qinghua, you can't force it! ”

"I know that."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to take you to the Queen Mother right away." After the king of Chu finished speaking, he ordered the eunuch to take Zhong Wuregret to the queen mother.

Princess Qinghua and Chanjuan happened to be at the Queen Mother's place, talking with the Queen Mother.

As soon as Zhong Wuregret saw the Queen Mother, he immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you for the reward of the Queen Mother!" ”

"Reward? What is the reward? The Queen Mother asked confusedly.

"The last time Chanjuan went to Zhongfu, didn't it mean that if I could persuade the king to cheer up, reorganize the dynasty, carry forward the last wish of the previous king, and rebuild the prestige of my Chu country, it would be the time for the queen mother to reward me, and now that I have done this, please reward the queen mother." Zhong Wuregret said unashamedly.

"Oh?" Hearing Zhong Wuregret say this, the Queen Mother also became interested: "You say, what reward do you want?" ”

"I want the Queen Mother's most precious treasure - Chanjuan!" Zhong Wuregret said straight to the point: "Because I will be an envoy to the Qin State, and when I come back, I will fight with the barbarians, and I don't know how many days I can live in the iron-blooded battlefield of nine deaths, so I want to collect the treasure in my pocket first." ”

"Chanjuan-" The Queen Mother dragged out her voice and said, "Have I ever said that?" ”

Chanjuan knelt in front of the Queen Mother and said: "The Queen Mother didn't say anything, but I was in a hurry to complete the Queen Mother's mission at that time, so I made this decision."

Everyone said that Lord Zhong was the first thief, I think, if Chanjuan sacrificed herself, relying on the color of her self-recognized appearance, so that Lord Zhong could persuade the king to cheer up, and re-establish the prestige of my Chu country, it would be worth it, therefore, Chanjuan privately fabricated the queen mother's reward, and hoped that the queen mother would forgive her sins. ”

"Do you hear that?" The Queen Mother said coldly to Zhong Wuregret: "You are dead." Since you don't know how many days you can live, hurry up and find your wife and concubine to keep warm, otherwise, it would be a pity to have boundless extravagant hopes when you die. ”

"Chanjuan, were you honest just now?" Zhong Wuregret looked directly into Chanjuan's eyes and asked.

Chanjuan was confused and felt in a dilemma. When she was in the palace before, all she heard were rumors about how Zhong Wuregret, a big lewd thief, bewitched the king of Chu and how he was lewd.

Although Zhong Wuregret is the first lewd thief in the Chu State, his "lewdness" is hierarchical and his "lust" is graded, so his affairs often become a hot topic among the palace maids and concubines.

I heard a lot, Zhong Wuregret gradually aroused Chanjuan's curiosity, but I didn't expect that after two personal contacts, Zhong Wuregret's talent made this talented, gorgeous and beautiful female genius amazed, until Zhong Wuregret helped King Chu win in the treacherous court battle, Chanjuan really knew a new Zhong Wuregret.

Chanjuan deeply admired Zhong Wuregret's insight, strategy, and political opinions, but she saw that the Queen Mother was unhappy with Zhong Wuregret, and she couldn't offend the Queen Mother, so she felt in a dilemma.

Chanjuan had no choice but to say the right thing: "Aren't you obscene?" The meaning of her words is very clear, and what is revealed on the surface is not necessarily true.

"In that case, Weichen takes his leave!" Zhong Wuregret said.

"I'll send Lord Zhong on behalf of the Queen Mother." Chanjuan took the initiative to say.

The Queen Mother said with a cold face: "No need, Fang Cai, what you told us hasn't finished yet." ”

Zhong Wuregret didn't really ask for any reward this time, he just found an excuse to observe the Queen Mother's attitude, he obviously felt the Queen Mother's hostility, so he had to carefully consider Pan Chong's words. Zhong Wuregret never understood why the Queen Mother's attitude towards Pan Chong changed so much before and after Pan Chong's death.

Zhong Wuregret's tentative trip can somewhat let him see the Queen Mother's inadequacy, no matter what the reason, but it is not worth the trip.

He thought that even if the Queen Mother wanted to kill him, it would not be a matter of time and a half. Now that the enemy is present, resisting foreign enemies is the top priority, otherwise, once the barbarians break through the city, the state of Chu will truly become a wild man.

On the way back, Zhong Wuregret secretly decided that after returning from the envoy to the Qin State, he must use the opportunity to clean up Pan Chong's power in the palace at the same time, try to plant spies in the palace, understand and grasp all kinds of things in the palace, and even let go of anecdotes and rumors.

On this mission to the Qin State, Zhong Wuregret only brought Yang Youji and twenty of the most elite guards, all of whom were equipped with Zhong Wuregret's new equipment, such as crossbows, short swords, climbing tools, and so on.

Doulan has been clamoring to go to the Qin State with Zhong Wuregret, but Zhong Wuregret will not agree this time, because the risk along the way is too great.

Doulan had returned to Zhongfu, and after destroying Pan Chong's party, the beauty guards of the king of Chu were all disbanded, and the beauty guards were paid handsomely and returned to their respective counties.

Zhong Wuregret asked Doulan to take charge of the defense of the Zhong Mansion, while Xiangui was still training the slave army and preparing for future battles.

As soon as it was dark, Zhong Wuregret quietly set off with his guards.

The nearest way was to go straight to Yongguo and go to Qin by the way, but Zhong Wuregret didn't dare to take this risk, but chose the gap between Yongguo and Pakistan and went straight to Qin.

Zhong Wuregret and his party walked for most of the night, rested for a while, and when the east turned white, they went on the road again. On the rugged mountain road, wafting the fragrance of trees, Zhong Wuregret rode on his horse, greedily breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the generous gifts of nature.

Despite the mountains and dense forests, Zhong Wuregret still chose this path, and the possibility of encountering enemies in the deep mountains and old forests was the least.

Traveling all the way, without encountering any situation, according to such a trip, Zhong Wuregret estimated that he would soon be able to rush to the Qin State.

"Lord Zhong, look!" At this time, Yang Yuji suddenly stopped Zhong Wuregret and pointed to a cliff for him to watch.

I saw that near the river, the wall was cut and towering. Between the steep caves on both sides that are hundreds of meters high, steep and steep, many coffins are half-hung on the cliff, or drilled holes in the cliff wall, the rafters are piles, and the coffins are placed in the space expanded by the cliff piles; or dig a stone niche in the wall of the covenant, and put the coffin in the niche; Or use the natural rock ditches, rock piers, and caves on the cliff to place the corpse coffin .......

"Hanging coffin!" Zhong Wuregret blurted out.

In the past, he had heard his father say that the hanging coffin burial style was a special way to dispose of the bones of the deceased in Pakistan, but there were also many confusions about this hanging coffin burial style with profound cultural connotations that could not be explained by today's people. It is also the most mysterious ancient and peculiar burial style.

Along the river, choose a cliff with thousands of walls, and use what method to hang the deceased and the coffin containing him in the appropriate position halfway up the cliff? For the study of hanging coffins, almost all of them are unsolved.

Zhong Wuregret was very excited, he really wanted to meet the locals and ask them how to bury the hanging coffin. However, safety is still a priority at this time.

Zhong Wuregret said to the guards: "We have arrived in the country of Ba, everyone should be vigilant, Di Jun is the earliest tribal leader of the Ba people. Brave and good at fighting, worship the white tiger. Their tactics in the jungles and deep mountains are not inferior to the special training you have received, and we should not use force lightly, so as not to cause misunderstanding. In this deep mountain and old forest, it is as easy for them to kill us as they want to kill pheasants. ”

As he was saying, "Stop, hide!" Zhong Wuregret hurriedly ordered the guards.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a number of people moving gently in the forest.

This is really a common saying: the more afraid you are of hitting a ghost, the more you must meet a ghost. (To be continued.) )
