Chapter 63: The Gift
The land of Bashu is located in the rear of the Qin State, with high mountains and far forests, and there are many ethnic minorities living there, and these ethnic minorities do not regard themselves as Qin people at all, do not obey government decrees, and are not subject to jurisdiction.
The problem of ethnic minorities basically existed in every dynasty in ancient China, and when the central dynasty was strong, it would shrink up and pretend to be grandchildren, and when the central dynasty weakened, its control over the local areas weakened, and it would jump out and make trouble.
Originally, Qin's control over this place was very weak, and after those people in the Jianghu Martial Arts fled here, the control dropped sharply, and it was almost out of control.
Su Qi is now in the Qin State, of course, he doesn't want to have such an unstable factor in the rear of the Qin State, whether it is those people in the rivers and lakes who fled here, or the ethnic minorities living in the land of Bashu, they should be pacified and subject to the Qin law.
Su Qi wanted to level the land of Bashu, there was another reason, he was extremely interested in the secret techniques of those ethnic minorities in the land of Bashu, especially Nashu Mountain.
This Shu Mountain is not the Shu Mountain with sword immortals, but a tribe living in the land of Bashu, Shi Lan in the original work is from this tribe, the tribe has martial arts, secret arts, and the rumored Fusang Divine Tree.
The Shu Mountain tribe is the largest force in the land of Bashu, and Su Qi once sent someone to read his decree to him, and wanted to include it in the control system, but after receiving Su Qi's decree, he directly ignored it and didn't care.
With such a powerful clan, how could Su Qi let it out of his own control?
Moreover, he was indeed very curious about the secret art of Shushan, especially the Fusang Divine Tree.
Whether this tree is in the original world or in this world, it has its various legends, it is a mythical plant, in the original book, the Yin and Yang family dug it up and planted it on the mirage, there must be its wonders.
Su Qi wrote to the King of Qin, stating the importance of the land of Bashu to the Qin State, and the danger of instability in this place, please send a large army into the land to quell all rebellions in the land of Bashu, so that the Qin State can truly control this area of Bashu.
The king of Qin then took Meng Wu as his general to recruit the rebellion in the land of Bashu, and Su Qi, who controlled the martial arts forces in the rivers and lakes in the Qin state, would also go to the land of Bashu with the army to quell the rebellion.
Mengwuping and Bashu have alien races that have different intentions towards Qin, and Su Qiping's martial arts forces in the rivers and lakes that fled here.
Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky!
This poem is not an empty word, the land of Bashu is already mountainous, and the army must cross the Qinling Mountains, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and it is not easy to march.
Su Qi decided to build a road to Shu after pacifying the land of Bashu this time, so that the land of Bashu would truly be under the control of Qin and become a stable rear of Qin.
It can be seen that after the first emperor unified the six countries, what a merit it was to build a galloping road!
This time the army was dispatched, and Su Qi instructed the Gongyi family to create a trap beast to open the way, and with the trap beast cutting wood and removing stones in front, the march was not slow.
Su Qi rode on a horse, leisurely admiring the scenery on both sides, beside him, followed by Mo Crow, Bai Feng, Parrot Song, Flame Spirit Ji and others.
Mo Crow and Bai Feng were closest to Su Qi, Mo Crow rode a black horse, and Bai Feng rode a white horse.
Several flags in the former army fluttered high, and one of the flags had a big "Mongolian" character written in Qin script, which was the handsome flag representing Mengwu.
Mo Crow looked at the banner and said to Su Qi: "My lord, this General Meng doesn't seem to treat us very well. ”
Familiar with Su Qi, although some of the operations of Su Qi are more terrifying, he is still very good at talking, not counting any etiquette and humility, it is far better than under Ji Wuye.
Su Qi said calmly: "If you don't wait to see it, you won't see it." ”
Meng Wu didn't want to see Su Qi, the reason was very simple, as an orthodox general of the Qin State, he just looked down on Su Qi.
At night, the Qin army did not march again, but found a place and set up camp.
Su Qi sat in the camp tent, called the ink crow, took out a package, and said to him: "Take this thing to General Meng." ”
"Yes!"
Mo Crow took the package, not curious about what was inside, and took it directly to the Chinese army tent in Mengwu.
Meng Wu was in the big tent, and Qin generals with several cronies were studying the map of the land of Bashu, planning how to fight after entering the land of Bashu.
Map of that time......
Just thinking about it, you can imagine how simple and rough it is, but the generals at that time still had to rely on it to plan and arrange.
Meng Wu was discussing with a few people, when he suddenly heard a report from the guards outside the tent, and the Su envoy sent his subordinates, saying that he had something to give him.
What is this man going to give him?
Meng Wu thought about it for a while, but he didn't hesitate, and said to his own soldiers: "Let him in." ”
Mo Crow walked into the big tent of Meng Wu's Chinese army, and saw that Meng Wu was sitting on the main general's seat, and several Qin generals were sitting on the left and right, and Meng Tian was sitting in the second place on the lower left.
"Mo Crow has seen the general, and he has been ordered by the governor to give this thing to the general."
Mo Crow presented the package given by Su Qi in front of everyone.
Meng Wudao: "What's in this?" ”
Mo Crow said: "Mo Crow doesn't know, and the governor didn't say anything, just asked Mo Crow to give it to the general." ”
Meng Wu raised his eyebrows and said, "Leave things behind, you can go." ”
After leaving the package, the crow said, "The crow leaves." Then he turned and left Mengwu's tent.
After Mo Crow left, Meng Wu and the others were still a little curious about this package, Su Qi is now very famous in the Qin State, but they don't know much about Su Qi himself, as an orthodox Qin army general, some look down on Su Qi.
Therefore, this time to pacify the land of Bashu, it is obviously Meng Wu and Su Qi together, although the division of labor between the two is different, but when discussing the plan, Su Qi should also be involved, but Meng Wu never thought about this at all.
"Since everyone wants to know, let's see what gift this Su Governor has given to the general."
Curious about what Su Qi had sent, Meng Wu pulled out his sword, cut open the package, and found only a few scrolls and a booklet.
When you open a scroll, it's a map!
The map was very clear and well worked, with various symbols and lines on it, some place names written in Qin script, and to their greatest surprise, the map was colored.
When Meng Wu and several Qin generals looked at these place names, they immediately knew that this was a map of the land of Bashu.
The map they had just looked at compared to this should be used to wipe their butts.
I opened other scrolls, which were also maps, but they were different.
Who made this map? The old man had seen such a map for the first time in his life. ”
"But what does that mean?"
“……”
Meng Wu and the others looked around the map for a while, but they could understand some of it, and some places they couldn't understand it, this map was different from the one they usually used.
"I remember there's one thing in that package."
A few people looked at the package, but saw that Meng Tian had already taken out the booklet.
