Chapter 12 Cao's Plea

(New book upload, ask for collection, ask for recommendation, thank you.) )

In the northern winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and the sky gets dark very early, when the first moon has passed, the snow on the mountains has not yet melted, and the eyes are all snow-white, which is extremely dazzling in the night. There was silence between the mountains, except for the loud noise of a row of houses on top of the hill, which could be heard far away in the quiet night sky.

This is Baoji Mountain in Chencang County, and there is a good story about the origin of Baoji Mountain.

During the time of Qin Wengong, Chen Cangren hunted a hedgehog, and met two boys on the road, which were actually two pheasant essences, both named "Chen Bao", the king of the male and the female of the hegemon. After being said to be broken, the two boys turned into pheasants and flew away, and the female stopped at the north of Chencang Mountain and turned into a stone chicken. Qin Wengong set up "Chen Bao Temple" in Chen Cang Mountain, and after Wen Gong, Qin Mu Gong re-established "Bao Lady Temple", and changed Chen Cang Mountain to Baoji Mountain. It is said that it was because of this hen that Qin Shi Huang was finally able to dominate.

Of course, these are just folk legends, and Duke Wen and Duke Mu also took advantage of the trend, adding a layer of mythology to their descendants to dominate. But no matter how wonderful Baoji is, it can't bless the foundation of the Qin Dynasty for thousands of generations, and at this time, even the blessed land of Baoji Mountain is occupied by wandering bandits.

This group of bandits is also a native of Chencang, but a group of Great Qin's defeated army, the entire territory of Guanzhong is occupied by the rebels, and they can only surrender. In fact, because of the tragedy of Xiang Yukeng's killing of the surrendered soldiers, some Qin soldiers did not dare to surrender and became bandits in the township.

Although it was late at night, the lights on the hill were bright, and there seemed to be a heated discussion among the bandits.

"Brother Li, now that all the villages in Guanzhong are soldiers, it is becoming more and more difficult for our brothers to get some food, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive this winter."

"If you want me to say, our homes are not far away, so let's just break up and go home......"

"! Now if you go back and let the villagers poke it out, how many heads do you have enough to cut off? ”

A group of ragged men sat or stood, arguing. Zhang Han's training strategy undoubtedly put these bandits who robbed their homes and houses into a predicament all of a sudden, and those field men who were eager to protect their families were really no less than their routs when they fought hard.

A big man in the center sat upright, just frowning and not saying a word. The other bandits below became more and more noisy, and they were almost about to fight.

"Shut up!" The big man shouted angrily and stood up from his seat.

The hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Brother Li, you can send a word, as long as you speak, our brothers will listen to you."

"Yes, whether to descend or stay, we all listen to Brother Li."

This person's name was Li Yi, and he was the leader of these defeated armies, and he was the commander of these people in the army at that time, and although they were all brothers after falling into the grass, no one dared to disobey his orders.

Dahan looked around at everyone and said viciously: "Surrender is to put your life in the hands of others, and a fool can do this business, since King Yong doesn't give us a way to live, then we have to make him feel bad." ”

"What do you mean?" Everyone held their breath and waited for Li Yi's next step.

Li Yi's face was full of fierceness, and he said slowly: "I always grab a little ration from the people, how can I sustain it?" If we want to do it, we will do a big vote, let's take advantage of the city's air defense to raid Xianyang City and loot the Yongwang Mansion, after doing this vote, it will be enough for us to nourish for half a year, what do you think? ”

"Shhh Although the grass has been falling for a long time, they are just making a small fuss, and they never thought of provoking forces such as King Yong, even if Zhang Han is not good, he is also the military god of Daqin back then, and these soldiers are still very afraid in their subconscious.

Li Yi looked at the shocked crowd and persuaded: "Our brothers are nesting here, where is there a way out, it is better to fight." Don't look at King Yong's big name, but he only has a few hundred personal soldiers to mobilize now, and the garrisons of the other kings are far away from Xianyang, and they won't have time to rescue for a while, so we still have a big chance of winning. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and finally made up their minds, it is true that they have had enough of the current days of starvation, and the so-called wealth is in danger, it is better to fight for their lives.

"Okay, sure enough, he deserves to be my Li Yi's good brother." Seeing everyone nodding, Li Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed, "We can start preparing now, and we will sneak down the mountain in the next few days and meet outside Xianyang City." ”

Once the adventure was decided, the next thing everyone started talking about tactics was again, and this time it was not as heavy as the smell of gunpowder just now, after all, everyone had hope again. The lights on the summit of Baoji Mountain were lit up for half the night, and no one knew that a shocking surprise attack would take place in Xianyang City......

Zhang Han naturally didn't know, in fact, although he really wanted to be idle, something happened to him at this moment.

Early in the morning, another person who surprised him came to visit him in person, and this person was none other than Cao Cao, the commander under Xiang Yu's tent.

Zhang Han has a little impression of this person, when Xiang Liang was framed and was in Liyang County, Cao blame was the Qi County Prison Peng at the time, he had an old relationship with Xiang Liang, so he repaired a letter to Sima Xin of Liyang Prison, which solved Xiang Liang's predicament.

The reason why Xiang Yu did not accept Shi Cheng's surrender at the beginning, but accepted Sima Xin's surrender, was also because Sima Xin was kind to his uncle. Also with this kindness, Cao Ji is now very important in Xiang Yu's camp, what is he suddenly looking for himself?

If Li Shiqi came to find him, it was because he hindered Liu Bang, but Xiang Yu had no reason to come to him, could it be Cao Yi's personal business?

Although he had doubts in his heart, Zhang Han did not dare to slack off, and as soon as he heard the report, he personally went out to greet him.

Cao Qi is not tall, quite short and fat, but his expression is fierce between Gu Pan, and he is not an ordinary person. When he saw Zhang Han come out to greet him, a smile appeared on his gloomy face, and he bowed down and said, "King Yong is so polite, it's really a villain." ”

Zhang Han hurriedly returned the salute, although his status was higher than Cao Ji, but when it came to power, he was really inferior to others. And because Cao Ji was the celebrity in front of Xiang Yu, he didn't dare to hold it up in front of the other party, so the two were polite, and then walked side by side towards the mansion.

When Cao Ji came to visit suddenly, Zhang Han guessed that he must have something to tell him, so when the two of them were seated and the attendant served the drink, he retreated left and right, leaving only the two of them in the room.

As expected, after the waiters all withdrew, Cao Ji suddenly bowed his head and said: "The villain has something to ask for, and please ask King Yong for permission." ”

Zhang Han hurriedly got up and helped the other party, he couldn't help but secretly slander himself, how can the ancients have a virtue, a few days ago it was Han Tan, and today it is Cao Yao, isn't this deliberately asking for trouble for himself?

But unlike Han Tan, Zhang Han could send him away directly, it was unwise to offend Cao Yao, Zhang Han made up his mind, if it wasn't particularly excessive, he would definitely meet him.

"Please General Cao get up and speak, I don't know what you want from this king? If this king does what he can, he will promise you. Zhang Han smiled in a friendly manner.

The fat man Cao Ji wiped his tears and whimpered: "Please help me kill Liu Ji'er!" ”
