320 And he was skilful in drawing bread
In later generations, Sichuan has become a rich and prosperous resort, known as the land of abundance.
But in this era, the Sichuan-Shu region was still in the wilderness.
The Ba people are okay, they are civilized people who have been divided by the Zhou royal family...... Those Shu people are amazing, they wear tattoos, are fierce and good at fighting, and they are out-and-out sons of mountains and forests.
Let the people of the Qin State ride on their heads, it's no wonder they don't resist!
This gave Xiong Wuliang a chance to intervene!
Xiong Wuliang smiled and asked, "Chuan Yong, I heard that the Chuan clan is a big clan in Ba Country...... Could it be that you are from the Sichuan clan? ”
Chuan Yong said honestly: "Returning to the lord, exactly." ”
"The last general is not talented, but the young patriarch of the Sichuan clan."
As soon as these words came out, Xiong Wuliang immediately glanced at Zhao Hua in surprise!
No wonder, Chuan Yong, a 'lowly Ba man', has a status in the Qin State that is simply a Jew under the rule of Desan—a real inferior race...... can actually become the dignified general of Qin Guolantian.
The chief general of Lantian is by no means low in the military circles of the Qin State!
Presumably, the appointment of Chuan Yong by the Qin State as a general also has the meaning of appeasing the Bashu people......
In Ba, the status of the Sichuan clan is equivalent to the three clans of 'Qu Jingzhao' in the Chu State, and they have strong strength and appeal in the local area.
If Chuanyong can listen to Xiong Wuliang's words, take the Ba people to make wind and rain in the land of Bashu, and then cooperate with the unruly Shu people to toss together...... Qin's rule in the Bashu region was in jeopardy.
……
Xiong Wuliang was silent for a moment, pondered the words, and asked at Chuan Yong: "If you defect to Benhou, the Sichuan clan will be retaliated against by the Qin people, have you ever thought about this?" ”
Chuan Yong lowered his eyebrows and said aggrievedly: "The last general...... The last general ......"
Xiong Wuliang suddenly smiled and patted Chuan Yong's shoulder: "Ben Hou is no longer going around in circles - you go back to Badi, I can give you all the assistance except for directly sending troops to disrupt the rule of the Qin State and fight for independence!" ”
"After the deed is done, you will be the king of Ba!"
"What do you think?" Xiong Wuliang smiled and skillfully painted the flatbread.
Chuan Yong was stunned for a long time, he couldn't believe his ears.
King Ba? Even if it is the puppet king of the Chu people, he is also a king!
Chuan Yong's heart was pounding!
"The last general...... Uh, I wonder what kind of assistance the prince can give to the last general? Chuan Yong was very excited, and some were incoherent.
Xiong Wuliang smiled: "Grain, grass, cloth, and goods...... Ben Hou can support you. ”
"The armor and weapons left by the Qin people outside the Wuguan are enough for you to arm tens of thousands of troops - you can use them at any time."
"Besides......" Xiong Wuliang summoned Huang Wu of Qingyuwei and said with a chuckle: "Benhou's Qingyuwei is enough to provide you with intelligence support - don't doubt their ability, with Qingyuwei to assist you, you will know all the movements of the Qin soldiers in advance." ”
"In the end, Ben Hou will provide you with a general! Let him guide you to train your army and fight against the Qin people! ”
Chuan Yong was surprised and delighted, and was deeply shocked by Xiong Wuliang's generosity.
Xiong Wuliang finally added with a smile: "How is it?" Why don't you give it a try? If the final effect is not good, you can also bring your clansmen to my fiefdom, and Benhou will ensure that your Sichuan clan has a foothold in the Chu State. ”
Financial support, weapons aid, intelligence sharing, military instructor ...... Sound familiar?
A certain country carried out a coup d'état in South America, and that's how it was done!
The Sichuan clan already has a lot of power and prestige in Badi, and the people of Bashu have long had the heart to resist...... Now, coupled with such strong assistance, it is enough to make the Qin people anxious!
Chuan Yong no longer hesitated - if he wins the king of Dangba, he will have a way out if he loses. So what are you waiting for?
"The last general, I am willing to go to the soup for the prince! Don't hesitate! Chuan Yong knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said with an oath.
Xiong Wuliang smiled, and then summoned Yin Yu, the commander of the Black Feather Guard, whispered a few words in Yin Yu's ear, and then said to Chuan Yong: "I have brought you a few highly skilled personal guards, which are enough to keep your life safe...... This is Ben Hou's intention, and General Sichuan must not refuse. ”
Although Chuan Yong was afraid of death, he was not stupid, and immediately understood that this so-called 'personal guard' was actually the back hand arranged by Xiong Wuliang.
If Chuan Yong is diligent and diligent, of course, this black feather guard can also obey Chuan Yong's orders to assassinate political enemies and clear the way; But on the other hand, if Chuan Yong has the slightest disobedience...... These Black Feather Guards are killing people one by one without blinking.
"As for the generals that Ben Hou arranged for you...... Xiong Wuliang said with a smile: "Ben Hou has his own arrangements. ”
……
Thousands of people sat on a chariot, with banners waving in front of and behind them, and marched with the array of the army.
Lately, he's been raising his eyebrows.
In this second Danyang War, which lasted a whole winter, the most outstanding general of the Chu army was none other than the thousand-man general Hong Shi.
First, the surprise soldiers attacked secretly, and twice cut off the baggage of the Qin soldiers, making the first contribution.
Then there was the first to ascend the city wall during the raid on Wuguan......
These two feats, no matter which one they take out individually, are enough to make Hong Shishi straighten his waist and raise his eyebrows.
Everyone knows in their hearts that with Hong Shi's great military exploits, it is impossible to continue to be a small thousand-person general.
It must be known that the Marquis of Quyang has always been stingy in rewarding meritorious heroes - it is estimated that when he returns to the fiefdom in the near future, Hong Shi will receive the huge reward he deserves.
The soldiers of the Quyang New Army are all very discerning, and when they see Hong Shi these days, they no longer call the latter 'Hong Qianjiang', but ambiguously call Hong Shishi 'General Hong'...... Obviously, everyone has acquiesced to the ascension of Hong Shi.
A soldier hurried in the direction of Hong Shi's chariot - it was evident from the iron repeater on the man's body that this was a sergeant from the barracks under the command of the lord.
"General Hong—the Lord has summoned you to come over." The pro-soldier obviously also knew Hong Shi, who had been in the limelight recently, and said with a fist at the latter.
The surrounding soldiers looked at each other, excited looks appeared on their faces, and exchanged tacit glances with each other.
Hong Shi's face was solemn, he jumped down from the chariot, and commanded the thousand-man team under his command: "Continue to march, and when Ben is not there, don't mess up the team." ”
With that, he followed the soldier and ran to the front of the team, and went straight to Xiong Wuliang's bronze chariot.
As soon as Hong Shi left, the pot exploded with a buzz, and the soldiers shouted excitedly-
"It's coming! It's coming! ”
"General Hong can be ...... this time" someone said enviously: "Tsk, the lord personally summoned him!" ”
"It's normal—when General Hong ambushed the Qin army in the snow, and after releasing the arrows, he took the lead in charging down - I saw him slash six or seven Qin soldiers with my own eyes!"
"Yes...... Yes also! When the lord attacked Wuguan, I followed General Hong Qian...... Ano, behind General Hong! General Hong is indeed unstoppable! ”
"I don't know how the lord wants to reward General Hong......"
"It's definitely a big reward! Our lord has always been generous to the heroes! ”
