Chapter 735: Good News Again (Sixth Update)
To be honest, Zhang Song is also very excited. At the beginning, he wanted to defect to Cao Cao, but he was just asking for a marquis. But now Kou Feng not only promised to be the marquis of Guannei, but also promised to serve such an important position.
It's very grand.
But after being moved, Zhang Song felt that even if he offered Xichuan Tu, he should not get such courtesy.
After pondering for a while, under Kou Feng's surprised gaze, Zhang Song shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that I came to live in Shu in the next house." There are a lot of clansmen, and if they come down to Chu, it is estimated that the disaster will be not small. Second, I also want to respond to the monarch and clear the way for the monarch to enter Shu. ”
Kou Feng is full of boxing, but Zhang Song is also very honest and sincere.
Kou Feng had no choice but to give up and sighed: "Sir is really sincere. ”
Kou Feng summoned Zhang Song to meet him alone, originally to express his gratitude and kindness to Zhang Song. Now, Zhang Song has rejected his kindness.
I plan to risk my life and re-enter Yizhou.
Kou Feng chatted with Zhang Song for a while, and he was also tired. sent someone to send Zhang Song back.
"Nishikawa Map." Kou Feng's eyes flashed, and his heart was full of pride.
After drinking, in addition to being a little tired, I was also a little hot and unbearable. Kou Feng sat in the study for a while, and then walked towards Sun Shangxiang's side.
At the beginning, Huang Yueying invented the Chu State crossbow, and Kou Feng promised to stay in Huang Yueying's room for two months. But it's a pity that after only staying for a month, Huang Yueying was happy.
After that, the little girl drove Kou Feng out.
Kou Feng now basically spends his time in the number of days, such as a few days a month, in Cai Da's room, and a few days in Huan'er's room.
Tonight, it's Joe's turn.
With the heat all over his body, Kou Feng walked towards Xiao Qiao's side. Naturally, it's a one-night spring supper.
Early the next morning, Zhang Song came to the Duke of Chu's mansion.
Kou Fengben was still lying on the bed, and when he heard the guard's report, he immediately abandoned Xiao Qiao and walked out of the warm room.
In the study, Zhang Song knelt on the side, and Kou Feng knelt on it.
"Your Majesty, I've been in Chu for a few days, and if you calculate the time, it's almost time to go back. Otherwise, if Liu Yizhou is suspicious, I'm afraid. Zhang Song raised his fist towards Kou Feng and bowed.
Although Kou Feng wanted to stay with Zhang Song for a while, Zhang Song was also for the development of the Chu State. Kou Feng really didn't have any reason.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, he said, "Then send Zi Qiao alone." ”
"The king is the king of a country, how can it be." Zhang Song said immediately. But he was interrupted by Kou Feng.
"Ziqiao's return to Yizhou is like going deep into the tiger's den in Longtan and doing his best for the Chu State. Leave it alone. Kou Feng's expression was very resolute.
Seeing this, Zhang Song had no choice but to say, "Thank you." ”
Immediately, Kou Feng drove out of the city, sent Zhang Song out of the city, and walked about ten miles to the west.
Outside a pavilion, Kou Feng's frame finally stopped.
"Ziqiao, there is a sentence, I want to talk to you." Kou Feng sat in the carriage and said solemnly to Zhang Song, who was also sitting in the carriage.
"Please show me." Zhang Song clenched his hands into fists and bent down slightly.
"Now the soldiers of the Chu State are strong and strong, and Ziqiao's Xichuan Tu is helping him, like a tiger with wings. The road to Shu is already very smooth. If Ziqiao can help Gu at a critical moment, it would be a good thing. But if it is too much, such as building momentum for the Chu State, I am afraid that it will backfire, and there will be a disaster of killing and exterminating the clan. Be cautious. Also, it is necessary to keep things secret, even if your cronies are left and right, you must not tell them. Saying that, Kou Feng paused, and then said: "Fa Xiaozhi is a person who has the wonder of good peace and is very wise. Whatever the case, you can discuss countermeasures with them. Don't be impulsive. ”
But Kou Feng thought that in history, Zhang Song was discovered by Zhang Song's eldest brother Zhang Su because he helped Liu Bei too much. informed Liu Zhang.
As a result, the whole family was killed.
Zhang Song was kind to the Chu State, and now he insists on returning to Shu. Of course, Kou Feng couldn't watch him die. Naturally, I got a dose of preventive injection in advance.
Kou Feng's words were a little unpleasant, but they came from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, instead of being displeased, Zhang Song was very moved.
"Rest assured, the minister will act cautiously." Zhang Song bowed. But I remembered it in my heart and didn't dare to forget it.
"Okay, you have to say goodbye to you for a thousand miles. In the coming day, Lone drank with Mr. Zhang Song in Shudi, and Kou Feng showed a smile on his face and hugged his fists.
"Take care." Zhang Song responded. Immediately, he ordered to his left and right henchmen: "Go." ”
The right henchman agreed, and slowly marched towards Shu with Zhang Song.
"I hope Ziqiao is safe and shares wealth with Lone." Staring at Zhang Song's carriage, Kou Feng said secretly in his heart.
After sending Zhang Song away, Kou Feng did not return to Xiangyang immediately. Instead, he turned around and went to Pang Tongtun's camp outside Xiangyang.
Although he started the Xichuan map, Kou Feng didn't look at it. Of course, take a look.
Last night, Pang Tong didn't have a hangover. Therefore, when Kou Feng came, he saw Pang Tong in high spirits.
"Your Majesty." At the gate of the camp, Pang Tong greeted him with a smile.
"Shiyuan is very polite." Kou Feng smiled at first, and then asked, "I don't know, how is Xichuan Tu's research?" ”
Very much looking forward to it.
"Zhang Ziqiao, he really has a lot of talent, and he has also worked hard. The map of Xichuan is very detailed, and there are dozens of passes in Xichuan Shudi. and most of the troop deployment. As long as we follow this diagram, we can make the most of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, and we can go straight to the long. Pang Tong said with admiration on his face when he heard this.
"Oh? How many roads are there? Kou Feng said happily.
"There are two fast-moving land routes, and there is a water route." As he spoke, Pang Tong bent over and said, "Please come with your ministers." ”
"Lead the way." Kou Feng nodded.
Immediately, the two entered the Chinese army tent together.
Inside the big tent, there is an enlarged picture of Nishikawa, which is embroidered on the screen. On this map of Nishikawa, three red-eyed routes are drawn.
One is the waterway, which is close to Bajun and Jiangyang, and then can go directly to Chengdu in the north, which is very cheap. This is the Yangtze River waterway, in fact, as long as a person can think of it.
The only obstacle is that there is no cooperation on land. After the navy penetrated deep into Shudi, there was no logistical protection. After all, there is also a naval army in Shudi.
Moreover, the waterway into Shu is relatively narrow, and the water flow may also be relatively turbulent. The use of paddle steamers is probably not very large.
In this way, the combat power of the naval army was weakened.
And the two routes on land, first break through the White Emperor City and enter Padang. Then, it invaded Ba County, Linjiang, and arrived in Chengdu. The other way is more surprising.
Pang Tong actually wanted to attack Hanzhong directly from Shangyong, and then replace Zhang Lu's condescending momentum and attack the south from the north. Hit Liu Zhang's Xia Meng Pass.
After entering the Xiameng Pass, you can enter the second pass and you can go straight to Chengdu.
"What do you think?" Kou Feng stood in front of the map, and after observing it for a long time, Pang Tong asked beside him.
"They are all good roads, and they can avoid the troops deployed by Liu Zhang in Yizhou Pass. Among them, the combination of land and water can receive miraculous results. However, this one will first take Hanzhong, and then enter Chengdu. Although it seems to be very cheap, it is very consuming of troops. After all, Xiameng Pass is Yizhou Xiongguan. There is a momentum that is not open when a husband is closed. The cost of breaking him alone is not small. And Zhang Lu is not easy to deal with. Kou Feng chose this waterway and entered the two roads into Xishu, but instead took the road of Hanzhong first and vetoed it.
"There are pros and cons. If we take the middle of the Han road, although we may have to face Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang at the same time. But if you break Zhang Lu first, and then enter the Xia Meng Pass. Relying on the strength of the Chu army, it may not be impossible to quickly conquer the Xiameng Pass. However, the risks are indeed somewhat high. It is also reasonable for the monarch to seek stability. Pang Tong nodded beside him.
"That's it, one by water and one by land. Just waiting for the lonely crossbowmen, it can be used after the First World War. Lone began to cut down Shu. Kou Feng also nodded, and made up his mind.
Now, it's the beginning of spring. It's almost summer. According to Kou Feng's estimate, he should be able to send troops in winter and go straight to Xishu.
To achieve the feat of unifying the South.
The system is on the sidelines.
If there was no Xichuan map, Kou Feng would have to gather his advisers to discuss how to go. However, the terrain of Xichuan is complex and ambiguous.
If you want to really think about it, you must be in Shu before you can really make a decision. But now with this Xichuan map, the mountains and rivers in Yizhou are dangerous, and the deployment of troops is clear at a glance.
On the contrary, you only need Pang Tongren to choose the road, which is very cheap.
As soon as winter arrives, Kou Feng can summon Gan Ning, who is stationed in the area of Panyang Lake in Yangzhou, to enter Shu together. Water and land go hand in hand, down to Shu.
Then he went north to capture Hanzhong.
Immediately, Kou Feng discussed some details with Pang Tong. Kou Feng left the camp contentedly and returned to Xiangyang.
As soon as Kou Feng stepped out of the carriage with his front feet, he saw a guard at the door report: "Your Majesty, the servant Zhang Dao has been waiting for a long time. ”
Feng Wenyan nodded and walked in.
After a few moments, they arrived outside the hall.
I saw Zhang Daosu standing by the door, beside him a few people dressed as craftsmen, and a crossbow was placed on one side. An enlarged version of the repeater.
"Is this a ballista?" Kou Feng's eyes lit up and blurted out.
"Back to the king, it is indeed a crossbow bed." Hearing this, Zhang Dao immediately raised his head, smiled at Kou Feng and bent down to salute.
"You can also fire ten iron arrows in a row?" Kou Feng hurriedly walked over and asked.
"Basically the same function as the crossbow of the Chu State. Even the trouble of loading arrows has been inherited. Zhang Dao was a little proud and a little ashamed, and said.
Although it is also a burst shot, loading iron arrows not only cannot be improved, but is more troublesome. Because the crossbow bed is large, the shooting power is strong.
Therefore, to load the iron arrows, it takes four people to come.
However, even if it was so, it was enough to make Kou Feng ecstatic.
If it is into Yongliang, then cavalry is indispensable. And the foot pawn is also essential. The cavalry has its own protective force, and if you can't beat it, you can escape.
But the foot soldiers did not, so they needed a repeater to deal with the Yongliang cavalry. But what about the city?
If there are countless cavalry, the city is also relatively low. As long as the cavalry is running outside, it can suppress the city's defenses. Siege will be much easier.
And if there were more crossbow beds in the city, it would be different. The ballista bed was basically invented to deal with cavalry while defending the city. An arrow can effectively shoot cavalry. It's powerful. With the crossbow bed, the city that has been occupied can also become safer.
It's really a win before a fight, and there are all the necessary solutions for emergencies.
In Shu, I really only owe time.
Kou Feng's eyes were hot.
