Chapter 163: Zhao Chen (Part II)
Mo Xin died: "With the strength of the Four ** Alliance at this time, it is true that it can't beat the Song Kingdom." However, with one more chip, Song Guo will be broken! ”
Zhao Qi's eyes widened: "What chips?" ”
Mo Xindie whispered: "Guanwai Rong clan." ”
Zhao Qi's face was confused for a moment, but after thinking about it, he was suddenly dumbfounded.
Mo Xin said: "I heard that Zhao Qiye often went to Guanwai for business in his early years, and he was a well-known 'Guanwai wolf businessman' in the black market. Since the time of the Zhou Dynasty, the people of Kyushu have not traded with the Rong people. After the establishment of Chenzhou, it was also a century-old iron rule, and he did not associate with the Rong people. Now in the Kyushu countries, there is no one who is more familiar with the Rong clan than Zhao Qiye. ”
Zhao Qi scratched his head and said: "The name of 'Guanwai Wolf Merchant' is just a joke from Zhao's youth. Although I can speak a few words of Rong and can do business with the Rong people, if I am familiar with the Rong people, it is still far from it! Besides, they are nomads, wandering around the steppes of the north of the desert, and I have only been to the small steppe bordering the desert in the south of the desert. ”
Mo Xin died: "If you don't die in the desert Gobi, that's enough." Zhao Qiye, your father and brothers all lost their lives during the Chen and Song wars, do you want to avenge them? Together with the Restoration Alliance, the Song State was destroyed? ”
Zhao Qi clenched his fists and said, "Naturally!" I've been thinking about it for twenty years! For twenty years, I have always regretted why I avoided military service in the first place and didn't go into battle to kill a few more evil people in the Song Kingdom! For twenty years, I have been thinking that if our Royal Highness the King can issue an order to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty, I will donate all my money and wealth to the household department as a military salary! ”
Mo Xin's tone was solemn and calm: "Zhao Qiye, a gentleman's revenge, ten years, twenty years, it's not too late." ”
Zhao Qi's fist clenched even tighter, and he said: "In order to make a living, I used to wander around the black market and wander outside the customs, just a trader. I never thought that I would be able to go into battle to kill the enemy, I never thought about the revenge of my father and brother, and one day, I could do my best to avenge it. But now that I'm rich, even the big officials of the household department have to look up at me. Nowadays, I occasionally think about the major events of my family and country. If I can do something for the Restoration Alliance, help my white-eyed wolf little girl share the worries with her husband, even if I can't destroy the Song Kingdom, I will be satisfied with the spirit of the Song Kingdom! Master Mo, you have come from a long way and know my details, there must be something important to ask me to do, you can talk about it. ”
Mo Xindie took out a nameless book from his arms and handed it to Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi opened it and took a look, and inside it was a dense map and a string of Rongyu Heavenly Books. He looked confused and asked, "What kind of book is this?" ”
Mo Xin died: "This is the most comprehensive and detailed landscape marching map in the Song Kingdom, the location of checkpoints and the defense map of important cities, which have been annotated with Rong language. ”
Zhao Qi looked at a few pages carefully and said, "Why don't I know a word?" Why don't the maps in the Song Kingdom be marked with Zhou Wen? ”
Mo Xin died: "Because, this is a map tailored for the Rong army, they can't understand Zhou Wen, and they don't need to be identified by Zhou Wen." When the army marches to a place, grab a random Song person and ask, and you will naturally know what that place is called. ”
Zhao Qi saw that the map on the page was dense, and the Rong language was circled, which made people dizzy after looking at it for a long time, so he finally closed the book. He thought quietly for a moment, and wondered, "But...... If you lead the Rong army into the land of our Kyushu, their cavalry will be mighty and their iron cavalry will be brave...... What's more, the Song State is in Kyushu, and if the Rong army wants to drive straight into the Song State and join the Restoration Alliance, it must pass by our Chen State first...... Those barbarians, won't they covet our Chen Kingdom before they go to the Song Kingdom? ”
Mo Xindie nodded and said, "Zhao Qiye is right. So he took out another nameless book from his arms, handed it to Zhao Qi, and said, "This one is a map of Chen and Shu." However, in the map in this book, only one road from Chen to Song is indeed correct, and the other mountains, rivers, cities, checkpoints, and defenses are all deliberately omitted or trapped. If the Rong had agreed to attack the Song with the allied forces of the Four Kingdoms, they should have followed the red road on this map through the state of Chen. As soon as they deviated from this correct path, Chen's army would detect it and annihilate the Rong people in one fell swoop. ”
Zhao Qi flipped through the second book, still dizzy, and couldn't even find where Chen Guofanjing was. He thought that he had been in and out of the desert several times and was a good map-reader, but he didn't expect that there would be such a book of maps in the world. He thought that the map of the caravan was probably not as careful as the map of the march to battle.
He hesitantly closed the second book and said, "But I still think that provoking the Rong clan will cause disaster." According to the storytelling, the Great Zhou Dynasty 500 years ago only fell apart after provoking the Rong people. The Great Zhou fought with the Rong people for nearly a hundred years, and Shengsheng turned the grassland outside Jinyang Pass into a desert, and with the desert as a barrier, the two sides gradually stopped fighting. But after a hundred years of internal friction, it didn't come up in one breath, and it fell apart overnight, and there were Kyushu countries. Master Mo, is there a way to break the Song Kingdom without provoking the Rong clan? ”
Mo Xindan calmly took the two books back from Zhao Qi's hands and said, "Zhao Qiye, I understand your concerns. However, our Zhuge Island Lord is not only the lord of the country, but also a generation of masters who are rich in learning and have outstanding martial arts. How could he not think of any concerns you can think of? It's just that he thinks of more. Actually, we don't want to provoke the Rong people, and the Rong people don't necessarily want to provoke us. A hundred years ago, the Great Zhou and the Rong were actually defeated. At that time, the desert was not a desert, but a grassland that had been burned by a fire. But the spring breeze blew and the weeds were still growing, but the Great Zhou and the Rong people were unwilling to fight any longer. That grassland, in fact, has been for decades, deer and sheep are plagued, wild horses are rampant, but no one cares. The grassland becomes a desert, in fact, it is a natural barrier that the Great Zhou and the Rong people brew together. ”
Zhao Qi asked: "Master Mo is saying that even if I hand over these two books to the Great Khan King of the Rong Clan, he doesn't necessarily want to come to Kyushu to mix?" ”
Mo Xindie nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Zhao Qidao: "Isn't there no chance of victory for the Restoration Alliance?" Although this chip is big, what is the use of people not coming? ”
Mo Xin said: "The lord said that the map has been drawn for him, and the drawing is so detailed, if the leader of the Rong clan does not come, he is a timid ant like a mouse, which is not enough to be called a useful bargaining chip." That kind of rat, even if he is curious for a while, and leads 100,000 iron horsemen to drive straight into the Song Realm, he will be dizzy and blind, and he will just drag the Restoration Alliance back. ”
Zhao Qi asked worriedly, "But what if the Great Khan King happily led his army here?" What if he doesn't catch the blind? What if he kills the red eye in Kyushu and destroys all the lands of our five countries? ”
Mo Xinzhi shook his head and smiled: "If he dares to come with his troops happily, then after he helps the allies to restore the country, he will be trapped in the land of Kyushu by the map in his hand." The Rong people will forever remain in the annals of history, because the seven kingdoms of Kyushu will rise up to annihilate the Rong army and slash their Great Khan King. It is better for them to come with their families, so that they will die cleanly, so as not to waste pages in the annals of history. ”
Zhao Qi scratched his head again and said, "So, it's best for us to let the Great Khan of the Rong Clan volunteer to raise troops to come?" First help the allies to restore the country, and then be trapped and die in Kyushu? If he comes, it will be the best policy for the Restoration Alliance and the land of Kyushu? If he doesn't come, the Restoration Alliance will have no chance of winning, and the Song State will continue to be arrogant? ”
Mo Xindie nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Zhao Qi was puzzled again: "But what if he refuses to come?" ”
Mo Xin died: "The Lord said that he will come." Because the Lord has waited for twenty years, and finally waited for a leader of the Rong tribe worthy of the title of 'King of the Great Khan'. He was only in his thirties, and it took only five years for him to fulfill his father's last wish to unify the various tribes of the Rong tribe. In the past year, the Rong army has provoked many times on the border of Chen, and has not plundered some property and fled into the desert as usual. The Rong people are already ready to move, and they just need someone to lead them. The land of Kyushu, splendid rivers and mountains, a prosperous place, if he is an ambitious and brainy Great Khan King, after getting these two books, he will definitely come. ”
So Zhao Qi stretched out his hand to take back the two books that had just been taken away by Mo Xindie, and resolutely said: "Then I, Zhao Qi, will personally invite him!"
