Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 219, Mr. Changping's backhand

Sima Xin and Sima Su looked at Ziyou in a daze, the ghostly Confucian Confucian generals?The world knows that Confucianism does not understand the art of war. The only one who has ever been a great general is Zilu. He is still a muscular soldier who wears two layers of armor and holds a sharp sword in his hand. Confucian generals sound like the kind of gentle and elegant generals who will win thousands of miles away in the midst of strategizing. Gentleman Pianpian, no matter how you look at it, Zilu has nothing to do with Confucian generals, let alone Confucianism has the art of war with a hammer to teach.

"Ahem, it's okay if you don't want to." Ziyou said with a soft cough. Just now he was just out of habit to find talents. Confucianism really didn't know anything about the art of war. The style of Confucianism should be military tactics or military yin and yang. However, apart from Zilu's military situation, and Confucianism has chosen scholars from all over the world, if the idea of ​​attacking military strategists is over, it may cause a siege by hundreds of schools.

"General Sima, I will find someone to send him to Xianyang. Just let Yang Duan and his troops test it out if Xiang Yan is in the promised land." Ziyou changed the subject and said.

"The last general is just a guess, but if things go wrong, there must be demons. Although there are very few defenders in Qianzhong County and Wu County, they can still resist one or two. The two counties of Bashu also have no less than [-] soldiers and horses. The guards and common people of the big clan are enough to stop the Chu army, and Xiang Yan is a famous general in the world, it is impossible for him not to know this, and it is not good for them to start a war with us rashly, unless they have the confidence to win." Sima Xin continued Said.

Xiang Yan hastily garrisoned troops in Yingdu, and attacked Qin at the expense of King Chu's order and the safety of Xu land. This is an extremely risky decision. , the one who suffers must be the state of Chu, and disobeying the order of the king of Chu and stationing troops in Yingdu, no matter whether Xiang Yan wins or loses in the battle, he will end up disobeying the king's order and intending to rebel. This is not a choice that a cautious person like Xiang Yan can make .

"Xiang Yan is not a pure military strategist. He has made a lot of achievements in politics. There is only one possibility for him to do this. There are traitors who want to cooperate with him from the inside out, and even if Qianzhong County and Wu County are captured again, they will be recaptured by us. , The strategic position of the two places is not enough to involve the entire Qin State, and their goal is only one." Ziyou said with a serious face.

"Shu County!" Sima Xin and Sima Su shouted in unison.

"That's right, it seems that the banditry in Shu County is more serious than we imagined, but since the other party has made a move, we can't do without it. Although it's just a guess, it's worth trying." The corner of Ziyou's mouth showed There was a faint smile.

"Sir, just tell me what you want?" Sima Su cupped his hands and said.

"There are rumors in the city that the relationship between me and the governor of Qu County is tense, so why not add fuel to the flames. The Chengdu defenders are the backbone of Shu County. If the opponent's target is Shu County, they will definitely attack the [-] troops. You might as well help them at that time." A helping hand." Ziyou said, "Fei Yan, bring a pen and paper."

Concubine Yan came out with a pen and paper, and returned to the room after handing it over to Ziyou. Regarding this kind of scheming, Concubine Yan said that she was still a simple child and could not be led astray.

"Who are they plotting against?" Yan Lingji asked with curiosity in her eyes, Yan Lingji likes excitement, especially this kind of excitement when she sees other people's misfortune.

"I don't know who this unlucky guy is, but I can imagine that their fate must be miserable." Concubine Yan spread her hands and said.

After Ziyou finished writing the letter, he called his guards and told him to send the letter to Xianyang quickly. The guards took the letter and rushed towards Xianyang. After the guards left, the guards sent to monitor came back.

"Sir, Yu Yuan's guards have appeared. The surveillance target followed one person towards Shushan, and the other one went to notify the other Yu Yuan guards in the city." The guard said.

"Toward Shushan?" Ziyou asked while rubbing his chin.

"Yes, seeing that the three children are very afraid of the visitor, Mo Guanshi speculates that the visitor has a high status in Shushan Yuyuan." The guard said.

"I see, in what direction did they leave?" Ziyou asked.

"It's the east gate, Mo Guanshi left a mark on the road."

"I see, you go down and continue to monitor."

"promise!"

After the guards left, Ziyou said to Sima Xin and Sima Su

"According to the plan we discussed, whether Shu County can be calmed down depends on the two of you."

"I will live up to my master's entrustment." The two said with their hands clasped together.

After speaking, Sima Xin and Sima Su also left, and Ziyou walked into the study room. In the study, Shao Siming, Yan Lingji and Yan Fei were playing with the poker cards that Ziyou made for them with wood chips. After shopping, there was nothing to do in the posthouse every day, so Ziyou made playing cards to entertain them, and there was a set of mahjong on the table beside him. When Ziyou was bored, he would play mahjong with the three of them.

Seeing that Ziyou took down Zhanlu hanging on the wall, the three of them put down the cards and asked
"What are you going to do?"

"Go and meet Yuyuan in Shushan Mountain for a while," Ziyou said.

"Well, be careful. Yu Yuan's methods are even more mysterious than those of the Yin Yang family. Some of them combine voodoo and witchcraft, and often use voodoo unknowingly. You must be careful." Concubine Yan said.

"Well, I see."

Ziyou carried Zhanlu out of the study room, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the horizon, the clouds were burning red, Ziyou squinted his eyes under the glare of the sun, looking at the fiery red clouds and the gradually dimming horizon, Ziyou muttered to himself

"Today is a good day to kill."

In Yingdu, in the prefect's mansion, Lord Changping and Xiang Yan are estimating the food and grass that the army will need this time. This time they are acting in secret. The transfer of the army has not been approved by the court at all, so the food is all through the hands of merchants. Purchased in various parts of Yingdu, if Changping Lord had not transferred assets in advance and attracted many loyal supporters in Chu State in the past few years, otherwise it would have been impossible to support the food and grass needed by this army.

"This time we mobilized the army without authorization, and I also left my post without authorization. We must be safe. If we fail, the two of us will be traitors, and there will be no place for us in Chu State anymore." Xiang Yan looked at Changping Jun and said.

Lord Changping sighed helplessly. Originally, the guard of Yu Yuan in Shu County was going to use him after he abolished the king of Chu, Xiong Han, and ascended the throne himself. Negative, to create momentum for the two, and at the same time slander him, lowering his status in the hearts of the people of Chu.

In this era, what the people yearn for is not freedom, but leadership. They need someone to lead them. They can't even read books, let alone make wise judgments. In this era, the people also have a name called Qianshou , they do not have the ability to judge, listening to the wind is the rain is the most common behavior, so Confucian disciples who are well-read poetry and books can easily lead the people's thoughts, relying on constant propaganda, Changping Lord's status in the hearts of the people is not as good as before.

After the excitement of returning the old capital, Yingdu, to Chu State, some people calmed down and began to be afraid of the attack of Qin State’s army. Qin State’s grievances will be reported to the six countries, and when the Qin Army attacks Chu State, Chu State will inevitably bleed into rivers for their own interests. At that time, more and more people began to advocate the surrender of Lord Changping in exchange for Qin's appeasement.

In addition, with the help of Confucianism, Li Yuan and Qu Jingzhao's three families also put aside their conflicts and besieged him together. If Zhang Liang and others hadn't entered Chu to help him inject some new strength, I am afraid that Lord Changping is now in a precarious situation. up.

The most direct way to transfer internal conflicts is to turn internal conflicts into external ones, so Lord Changping started the move of Shu County. If Shu County is in chaos, Qin State will be in chaos. After recovering all the homeland of Chu State, and then uniting with the two counties of Ba and Shu, it will be able to delay the war. Living in the state of Qin, and using the prestige of this victory, Lord Changping will be able to abolish the king of Chu. Even if he cannot abolish the king of Chu, he can still rule the land. Li Yuan and Qu Jingzhao's family can no longer do anything to him.

"I started planning this move in Shu County in Qin, and Zifang went to Shu County in person to take charge of the specific rebellion. There won't be any problems. The only thing I need to worry about is whether the army can invade Shu County as soon as possible and occupy it. Jiange resisted Qin's support, and at the same time helped the Shu royal family stabilize the situation in central Shu." Changping Jun said.

He planned this move day and night, and he has done everything he can to the extreme. The third elder also said in his reply that Yu Yuan's guards had prepared everything and were just waiting for the signal of rebellion. Regarding what the third elder said Everything was in place, Lord Changping even sent Zhang Liang to Shu to take charge of the specific affairs in person just in case.Before, he wanted to support the Third Elder with some military equipment, but the Qin State guarded it tightly, and there was no way to infiltrate it.The third elder also said that there were people from him in the Chengdu defenders, so Mr. Changping let it go.

"After Sima Cuo and Zhang Ruo captured Qianzhong County and Wu County, in order to stabilize the two places, they specially built two roads leading directly to Shu County. If you take this road, you can reach Shu County in five days and wait until Chengdu is captured. Next, the Jiange defenders are mobilized, and the army can quickly take the Jiange." Xiang Yan said.

Looking at Lord Changping, Xiang Yan was full of helplessness. The situation in Chu was more and more unfavorable to them. This was the only chance, and it was also the biggest gamble. If the bet won, Lord Changping would become king, kill Li Yuan, and suppress Qu Jingzhao. , as a general, he no longer has any constraints, and he can wholeheartedly plan to fight against Qin. Even if he really goes to war with Qin, he doesn't have to worry about the threat from the rear of the court, so they can't avoid this battle. .

"I will try my best to stabilize the court and conceal Yingdu's movements. After the battle, I will ask the general to make a quick decision. Li Yuan and Qu Jingzhao will definitely stop us when they know the situation in Yingdu." Changping Jun said .

For Li Yuan and Qu Jingzhao, Chu State has nothing to do with them. As long as they continue to control Chu State for their own profit, it is enough. If they can sacrifice some people and land, and kill him and Xiang Yan, the two great enemies, They will do it without hesitation.

"Don't worry, there are few defenders in Shu County, and the military equipment is old, so the army is easy to take down." Xiang Yan said.

If other people said this, Lord Changping might give him a slap, but Xiang Yan is different. The general of Shu County is Sima Xin. According to his information, although Sima Xin inherited the art of war of his ancestor Sima Cuo, he has no actual combat experience. , but it was just the second Zhao Kuo, and it was easy for Xiang Yan to beat him, even Wang Jian was slightly inferior in front of Xiang Yan.

"Everything is up to you, General." Jun Changping said, cupping his hands.

"Your Majesty will be troubled by the matter of the court. I will mobilize the army now, and when the time comes, I will attack aggressively." Xiang Yan said.

Lord Changping nodded, and Xiang Yan flicked his cloak and walked towards the outside of the prefect's mansion. Looking at Xiang Yan's back, Lord Changping was still a little worried. He didn't know why he always felt uneasy. Gradually shrouded in darkness, Mr. Changping's eyes showed a sternness in the darkness, he must be prepared to fail.

"Come here." Mr. Changping shouted.

"Your Majesty!" Mr. Changping's personal guard opened the door and walked in.

"You take this secret letter to Xudi, hand it to Xiang Liang, and say that the general asked you to send it." Changping Jun said.

"promise!"

At the foot of Shushan Mountain, the three of Xiao Yu looked at Yu Chou and Mo Ya in horror. At this time, Mo Ya's body was stained red with blood and had many wounds on his body, while Yu Chou also had some wounds on his body.

"Why Uncle Qiu!?" Xiao Yu looked at Yu Chou in horror and asked, her voice was full of fear, confusion and even sadness, as did Yu Qiu and Yu Fu.

After Yu Qiu led Xiaoyu and the others out of Chengdu, they headed towards Mount Shu, but the three of them found that this was not the way back to the mountain. Just when they were about to ask Yu Qiu, a sharp wind came towards him. They photographed them, if the black crow hidden in the dark hadn't appeared in time to save the three of them, the three of them would have been seriously injured if they didn't die. The three of them were still children after all, and their hearts collapsed suddenly when they were killed by their relatives suddenly.

"Why? If you want to blame, blame you for going down the mountain early." Yu Qiu looked at the three of them and said with a sigh. There was a trace of imperceptible entanglement hidden in his indifferent eyes. People are not grass and trees, and they are also ruthless. Having grown up, now that he is asked to kill these three people, he is also very entangled in his heart, but he cannot disobey the order of the third elder. He is a descendant of the original guard of the Shu royal family, and his parents have instilled since birth to be loyal to the third elder and The idea of ​​restoration.

Now the life and death of the three of Xiao Yu are related to the success or failure of their restoration of the country, no matter how entangled in his heart, he can only choose to carry out the order and kill the three of them.

"I've seen many reasons, but this is the first time I've heard of yours. A careerist is a careerist, so why hide yourself?" Mo Crow sneered.

Yu Qiu looked at Mo Ya and said indifferently
"Rather than talking nonsense here, a dying person might as well leave his last words."

"I am the crow, the messenger of death. Death will not come to me. On the contrary, my appearance means death. Who do you think will die?" Mo Crow continued to sneer.

"Are the people down the mountain so stubborn now?" Yu Chou said, looking at Mo Ya as if he was looking at a dead person.

As soon as the words fell, Yu Chou's palm condensed a fierce palm wind and attacked Mo Ya, who showed a mocking smile on Mo Ya's face.
