Qin Yuedang Kong

Chapter 34 Zhao Tuo's Nightmare

The patrolling soldiers came to the grain truck parked behind Zhang Liang, and the leader took out his saber and opened the top bag of grain.I saw yellow rice slanting out of the breach.In order to store the rice for a longer period of time in the hot and humid climate of South Vietnam, Zhang Liang deliberately purchased rice that had not been hulled, so the rice poured out from the opening of the grain bag looked bright yellow.

"Where do you come from? Don't you know that food sales are prohibited in South Vietnam?" the leader, Shi Chang, said with a gloomy face.

Before Zhang Liang sneaked into South Vietnam, he had already figured out the situation in South Vietnam. He hadn't heard that there was a ban on food trafficking in South Vietnam.Apparently this chief was deliberately finding fault.

"Master Jun, we are grain merchants in the Qin land. I just arrived in your land and I don't know the regulations here, so please forgive me. This is a little kindness, and please help me." Zhang Liang said holding He took out the money bag hanging around his waist, took out a stack of half and two taels and put it in the palm of the squad leader.Although Zhao Tuo ceded Nanyue and established himself as the king of Nanyue, he had not yet issued Nanyue coins, so Qin Ban Liang was still the mainstream currency of South Vietnam.

"For the sake of being sensible, I'll bypass you for the time being, get out!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the little one will leave right away." Zhang Liang accompanied the money-hungry Xiao Shichang and his group away with a smile.

After sending Shichang away, Zhang Liang saw Wu Guang back.

"What happened just now?" Wu Guang asked suspiciously as he watched Shi Chang's group go away.

"A group of money-greedy youngsters, let me send them away with money. How about the place you asked to inquire about?"

"Don't tell me, I don't know what this Zhao Tuo is doing. In Nanhai County, there are no less than a dozen bandits, large and small. There is a gang on Qingzhang Mountain, dozens of miles away from Hengpu Pass. Bandit, I inquired about it. It was the poor people who were forced to die and came to this Qingzhang Mountain to fall into the grass and become bandits." Wu Guang told Zhang Liang the news he had inquired about.

"Then have you ever asked how many bandits live on Qingzhang Mountain?"

"I didn't ask that!" Wu Guang scratched his head embarrassingly.

"You! Don't ask what should be asked." Zhang Liang shook his head in disappointment.

Seeing Zhang Liang shaking his head, Wu Guang came up angrily.Along the way, I kept saying "Mr. Zifang, Mr. Zifang" endlessly.In the end, he got used to this rotten scholar.

"You upright Confucianism, if I knew you were so smart, I shouldn't have inquired about the news, I should have let you go. I'll follow your example too. Hey! Just sit like this, see a big ass and grow up Hurry up and call 'Jun Ye'. By the way, give me a few big coins." Wu Guang joked with contempt on his face.

"Hey, you idiot, a fool who can make you cry with a few empty envelopes. You can't understand a question, and you dare to mock me as an upright Confucian."

"You are not much better. Have you forgotten how I drove you down Qingyao Mountain?" Wu Guang retorted angrily.

As the saying goes: "You don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, and you don't expose your shortcomings when you scold someone." However, Zhang Liang and Wu Guang obviously ignored this wise maxim.From the very beginning, they turned on each other with full firepower.The attendants standing beside the two did not speak out to persuade them. It seems that this is not the first time that Zhang Liang and Wu Guang have acted this way. The attendants are obviously used to such a scene.Along the way, Wu Guang and Zhang Liang did allow a group of relatives to truly witness what it means to "not meet if you are not an enemy".

After half a stick of incense, Wu Guang came up to Zhang Liang again.

"Mr. Ovary, what should we do next?"

"What else can we do? You go and ask about the situation of the bandits in Qingzhang Mountain." Zhang Liang pretended to be angry and said.

Wu Guang had no choice but to obediently go to inquire about Qingzhang Mountain again.

After a while, Wu Guang left and returned.He came to Zhang Liang proudly.

"Mr. Zifang, this time I found out everything. There are more than [-] bandits on Qingzhang Mountain, and there are three bandits in total..."

Wu Guang told Zhang Liang all the information he had obtained from his inquiries, regardless of whether the information was useful or not.

"Our opportunity has come. This Qingzhang Mountain is a good choice. It can avoid Zhao Tuo's encirclement and suppression, and it is also close to Hengpu Pass. It can retreat and defend. There are more than [-] bandits, all of whom are poor people. Some money and food should be bought." Zhang Liang looked at Wu Guang and planned.

So Zhang Liang and his party pulled more than a dozen grain carts towards Qingzhang Mountain.At noon, the group finally arrived at the foot of Qingzhang Mountain.I saw that Qingzhang Mountain was covered by lush forests, and it was a good place to raise people's heads.Zhang Liang arranged for Wu Guang and his team to rest at the foot of the mountain, while he took a few entourages into the mountain to look for traces of bandits.

At sunset, Zhang Liang returned to the foot of the mountain with a few bandits, and after negotiating, he pulled the grain truck into Qingzhang Mountain.After Zhang Liang and Wu Guang entered Qingzhang Mountain, they spent money to buy the most greedy of the three bandit leaders, and then joined forces with this bandit leader to get rid of the other two leaders.It took only three days for Zhang and Wu to control Qingzhang Mountain.

At this time, Nanyue Palace in Panyu, Zhao Tuo was dreaming of joining forces with Jiangdong to annex Qianzhong County and Changsha County of Daqin.Little did he know that Fusu had already dropped a pawn in Nanyue.

"Wu Guoxiang, does Jiangdong's nephew Xiang Yu agree to join hands with me to seize the two counties of Qianzhong and Changsha?" Zhao Tuo asked, staring at the Prime Minister Wu Jian.

"My lord, the Jiangdong Xiang clan has been feared by Fusu. They don't dare to plan with me, Nanyue, to attack Changsha and Qianzhong counties."

"A bunch of cowards, I was beheaded by others, and even my bride was taken away by others. In the end, Hengshan County was also cut off by others. It's shameful. If General Xiang Yan knows about it, he will be ashamed by these younger generations Yes." Zhao Tuo sighed angrily.

"Your Majesty, now Fusu is very powerful, and my subordinates think that I, Nanyue, should not be provoked for the time being. There was Jiangdong Xiangliang in the past, and later Hexi Toumanchanyu. I, Nanyue, must guard against it!" Wu Jian suggested solemnly.

"Oh, Prime Minister Wu is overthinking. I have an army of 30 in South Vietnam, and there are Nanling to block Qin's army. The three passes of Hengpu, Yangshan, and Huangxi are all easy to defend and difficult to attack. Does it mean that the tiger and ben army he helped Su must attack?" Are you flying over?" Zhao Tuo said with a proud face.

The reason why Zhao Tuo dared to take advantage of the power struggle between Fusu and Huhai to cut off the three counties of Nanyue and establish himself as the king of Nanyue was because of the dangerous terrain of Nanyue.When Zhao Tuo saw that Fusu attacked Jiangdong and Hexi without touching his Nanyue, he naively thought that Fusu had nothing to do with his Nanyue.So the idea of ​​attacking the two counties of Guizhou and Changsha was born.Logically speaking, Zhao Tuo's calculations are reasonable, and it is naturally best to win the two counties of Qianzhong and Changsha.If you can't get it, there is no harm, the worst is to return to South Vietnam.The bad thing is that Fusu has never been a person who talks about things logically.

When Zhao Tuo was still immersed in the fantasy of attacking the two counties of Guizhou and Changsha, Zhang Liang and Wu Guang had already started recruiting troops in Qingzhang Mountain.Thanks to the 500 million yuan given by Fusu, Zhang and Wu were able to build a team of 5000 people in just two months.

On this day, Zhang Liang took 2000 people out of Qingzhang Mountain, quietly went to Hengpu Pass, and attacked the grain and grass depot of the Hengpu Pass garrison at night.

Three days later, the news of the attack on the grain and grass at Hengpu Pass was sent to the Nanyue Palace.

"My lord, a bandit army claiming to be Zhang Guang and Wu Liang attacked the grain depot of our Hengpu Pass garrison. They took away [-] shi of rations and set fire to the remaining [-] shi of grain and grass." A message from Hengpu Pass The soldiers reported the Hengpu Pass to Zhao Tuo in detail.

"Zhang Guang, Wu Liang, why haven't I heard about these two thieves before?" Zhao Tuo asked himself in doubt.

In fact, this is just Zhang Liang's trick to deceive others.After Zhang Liang and Wu Guang went up to Qingzhang Mountain that day, they switched their first and last names.Zhang Liang was called Zhang Guang, and Wu Guang became Wu Liang. This was actually done to mislead Zhao Tuo, so that he would not guess Fusu's head for a while.After all, Zhang Liang's reputation is relatively loud, and there are people who know Zhang Liang in the Nanyue court.

In the next period of time, the names that the king of Nanyue heard the most were Zhang Guang and Wu Liang.

"My lord, Zhang Guang and Wu Liang led the crowd to attack Longchuan County, smashed the Longchuan government office, and killed the Longchuan county magistrate."

"Your Majesty, Zhang Guang and Wu Liang also robbed the grain team that was transporting grain to Yangshan Pass, and captured fifty soldiers guarding the grain."

"My lord, the bandit soldiers Zhang Guang and Wu Liang attacked our South Vietnamese tax collector and robbed all the taxes from Sihui and Boluo counties of Nanhai County."

……

All of a sudden, news of Zhang Guang and Wu Liang's bandit army activities spread from all over Nanhai County.Zhang Guang and Wu Liang really became Zhao Tuo's nightmare, making Zhao Tuo sleepless for a while.

On this day, Wu Jian, the prime minister of Nanyue, rushed into the Nanyue palace in a hurry.Seeing Wu Jian's hurried appearance, Zhao Tuo instantly had an ominous premonition.

"Don't tell me about Zhang Guang and Wu Liang again." Zhao Tuosheng said without love.

"My lord, it is indeed the news about Zhang Guang and Wu Liang, this time it is good news."

"What news?" Zhao Tuo sat up straight after hearing the words, and asked curiously.

"Tanqi has found out the hiding place of Zhang Guang and Wu Liang's bandit army, which is in the Qingzhang Mountain."

Zhao Tuo stood up excitedly after hearing the words.During this period of time, he had had enough of the torture of these two people. The [-] army almost searched Nanhai County to the bottom, but he couldn't find the hiding places of Zhang Guang and Wu Liang.

In fact, Zhang Liang and Wu Guang have been in Qingzhang Mountain all the time, but they have been playing hide-and-seek with Zhao Tuo's army.When Zhao Tuo's army searched the mountain, Zhang Liang distributed all the supplies to individuals, and then hid in pieces under the guidance of the soldiers who had hunted and collected herbs in Qingzhang Mountain, and moved around Qingzhang Mountain. Between and Nanling.More than 2 people who accompanied Zhao Tuo played hide and seek.Zhang Liang learned all this from Fusu's surprise attack on Jiangdong.

When Zhao Tuo confirmed the hiding places of Zhang Guang and Wu Liang, he immediately mobilized [-] troops to surround Qingzhang Mountain.
