Chapter 735 There is good news again
Chapter 735: There is good news again (Sixth update)
To be honest, Zhang Song was also very moved. At the beginning, he wanted to join Cao Cao, but he just wanted to be a marquis. But now Kou Feng not only promised to be a marquis of Guannei, but also a valiant position as a minister of the minister.
It's very grand.
But after being moved, Zhang Song felt that even if he offered the Xichuan map, he should not have received such courtesy.
After pondering for a while, under Kou Feng's surprised gaze, Zhang Song shook his head and said, "Thank you for your good intentions. But I came here to live in Shu. There are many tribesmen. If I come down to Chu, I will probably suffer a lot of disaster. Secondly, I also want to respond to the emperor and clear the way for you to enter Shu."
Kou Fengshengyi fisted, but Zhang Song was also very honest and sincere.
Kou Feng had no choice but to give up and sighed: "Sir, he is really sincere."
Kou Feng summoned Zhang Song to see him alone, in order to express his gratitude and be kind to Zhang Song. Now, Zhang Song rejected his gratitude.
He plans to take risks and enter Yizhou again.
Kou Feng chatted with Zhang Song for a while and was tired. He sent someone to send Zhang Song back.
"Xichuan Map." Kou Feng's eyes flashed, and he was full of heroism in his heart.
After drinking, in addition to being a little tired, he was also a little hot. Kou Feng sat in the study for a while and then walked towards Sun Shangxiang.
At the beginning, Huang Yueying invented the Chu crossbow, and Kou Feng agreed to stay in Huang Yueying's room for two months. Unfortunately, Huang Yueying was happy after only one month.
After that, the little girl drove Kou Feng out.
Kou Feng is basically based on the number of days now, such as the few days of each month, spending in Cai Da's room and in Huan'er's room for a few days.
Tonight, it's Xiao Qiao's turn.
With a hot body, Kou Feng headed towards Xiao Qiao. It was naturally a spring night.
The next morning, Zhang Song arrived at Duke Chu's Mansion.
Kou Fengben was still lying on the bed. When he heard the guard's report, he immediately abandoned Xiao Qiao and walked out of the warm room.
In the study, Zhang Song knelt on the side, while Kou Feng knelt on the side.
"Your Majesty, I have been in Chu for several days. Calculate the time and it's almost time to go back. Otherwise, if Liu Yizhou is suspicious, I'm afraid." Zhang Song raised his fist to Kou Feng and bowed.
Although Kou Feng wanted to stay Zhang Song for a while, Zhang Song was also for the development of Chu State. Kou Feng really had no reason.
Therefore, after pondering for a moment, he said, "Then I will send you Zi Qiao."
"Your Majesty is the king of a country, how can you?" Zhang Song said immediately, but he was interrupted by Kou Feng.
"Zi Qiao returned to Yizhou like going deep into the den of a dragon's pond and doing his best for the State of Chu. I should send him away." Kou Feng's expression was very firm.
Seeing this, Zhang Song had no choice but to say, "Thank you, you."
Immediately, Kou Feng came out of the light chariot, sent Zhang Song out of the city, and walked about ten miles westward.
Outside a pavilion, Kou Feng's frame finally stopped.
"Zi Qiao, I have a saying, "I want to talk to you." Kou Feng sat in the carriage and said solemnly to Zhang Song, who was also sitting in the carriage.
"Please tell me." Zhang Song clasped his fists with his hands and bent slightly.
"Now the Chu State is strong and the horses are strong, and Zi Qiao's Xichuan plan helps him, which is like a tiger adding wings. The road to entering Shu is already very smooth. If Zi Qiao can help the orphans at a critical moment, it is a good thing. But if it is too much, such as building momentum for Chu State, it may backfire and will cause the disaster of killing and extermination. Be careful. Also, plan must be confidential, and even if the confidants are trusted, you should not tell me." As he said that, Kou Feng paused and said, "Fa Xiaozhi is a man of good and peaceful nature and is very wise. No matter what, you can discuss countermeasures with him. Avoid impulsiveness."
But Kou Feng thought that in history, Zhang Song was discovered by Zhang Song's elder brother Zhang Su because he helped Liu Bei too much and told Liu Zhang.
As a result, the whole family was killed.
Zhang Song was kind to Chu State, and now he insisted on returning to Shu. Of course, Kou Feng could not watch him die. Naturally, he gave him a dose of vaccination in advance.
Kou Feng's words were a bit unpleasant, but they came from the heart.
Therefore, Zhang Song was not only not unhappy, but was very moved.
"Don't worry, I will definitely act cautiously." Zhang Songxia bowed, but he remembered it in his heart and dared not forget it.
"Okay, I'll leave after sending you thousands of miles. In the future, I'll drink with you in Shu alone. Please." Seeing Zhang Song's look of notes on his face, Kou Feng smiled and clasped his fists and said.
"Take a good care," Zhang Song responded. Then he ordered to his left and right confidants: "Go away."
"No." The left and right confidants agreed and led Zhang Song toward Shu slowly.
"I hope Zi Qiao is safe and share wealth with the orphans." Looking at Zhang Song's carriage, Kou Feng said in his heart.
After seeing Zhang Song away, Kou Feng did not return to Xiangyang immediately. Instead, he turned to the camp where Pang Tong was stationed outside Xiangyang.
Although I bought the Xichuan Tu, Kou Feng has never seen it. Of course I have to take a look.
Last night, Pang Tong did not have a hangover. Therefore, when Kou Feng arrived, he saw the energetic Pang Tong.
"Your Majesty." Pang Tong greeted the camp with a smile.
"Shi Yuan is so polite." Kou Feng smiled first, then asked, "I don't know, how did Xichuan Tu study it?"
Very looking forward to it.
"Zhang Ziqiao, really has great talent and has worked hard. The Xichuan map is very detailed, with dozens of pass maps in Xichuan and Shu area, as well as most of the troops. As long as we follow this map, we can play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses and drive straight in." Pang Tong said with admiration on his face when he heard this.
"Oh? How many roads are there?" Kou Feng said happily.
"There are two rapid advances and one waterway." As he said that, Pang Tong bent over and said, "Please come with the ministers."
"Lead the way." Kou Feng nodded.
Immediately, the two entered the Central Army's tent together.
In the big tent, there is an enlarged picture of Xichuan, embroidered on the screen. This picture of Xichuan is painted with three red-eyed routes.
One is the waterway, which is directly close to Bajun and Jiangyang, and then directly to Chengdu in the north, which is very cheap. This is the waterway of the Yangtze River, which is actually something that is thought of as long as you are an individual.
The only obstacle is that if there is no cooperation on land, the navy will not have logistical protection after entering Shu. After all, there are also naval troops in Shu.
Moreover, the waterway into Shu is relatively narrow, and the water flow may be relatively turbulent. The paddle steamer may not be used in large places.
In this way, the combat power of the navy was weakened.
The two routes on land first break through Baidi City and enter Badong. Then, they attack Ba County and Linjiang, and then reach Chengdu. The other route seems more amazing.
Pang Tong actually wanted to attack Hanzhong directly from Shangyong, and later replaced Zhang Lu's condescending momentum, attacked the south from the north and attacked Liu Zhang's Xiameng Pass.
After entering Xiameng Pass, enter the second pass and you can go straight to Chengdu.
"What do you think?" Kou Feng stood in front of the map and watched for a long time, Pang Tong asked.
"It's all good roads, and it can avoid the troops deployed by Liu Zhang at the Yizhou Pass. Among them, it can achieve miraculous results when advancing water and land. However, this one first takes Hanzhong and then enters Chengdu. Although it seems very cheap, it consumes a lot of troops. After all, Xiameng Pass is the Xiong Pass of Yizhou. There is a momentum that a man can pass the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it. It's not too expensive to break him. It's not easy for Zhang Lu to deal with it." Kou Feng chose the two roads of water and enter Western Shu, but instead took the Hanzhong road first and rejected it.
"There are advantages and disadvantages. If we follow the Hanzhong Road, although we may have to face Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang at the same time. But if we break Zhang Lu first and then enter Xiameng Pass, relying on the strength of the Chu army, we may not be able to quickly conquer Xiameng Pass. However, the risks are indeed a bit high. It is reasonable for the Lord to seek stability." Pang Tong nodded and said.
"There are only two roads, one water route, one land route. The crossbow soldiers who were waiting for me to use it, will start to attack Shu after a war." Kou Feng nodded and made up his mind.
Now it is spring. It is almost summer. According to Kou Feng's estimate, he should be able to send troops in winter and go straight to Western Shu.
The feat of unifying the south.
"No." Pang Tong replied.
If there was no map of Xichuan, Kou Feng would have to summon his advisers to discuss how to go. However, Xichuan's terrain was complex and vague.
If you really care, you must have to enter Shu before you can make a real decision. But now with this map of Xichuan, the mountains and rivers in Yizhou are in danger and the deployment of troops is clear at a glance.
On the contrary, only Pang Tong alone can choose the road, which is very cheap.
When winter comes, Kou Feng can gather Gan Ning, who is stationed in Panyang Lake in Yangzhou, and enter Shu together. Advance water and land, and go down to Shu.
Then he went north to capture Hanzhong.
Immediately, Kou Feng discussed some details with Pang Tong. Kou Feng left the camp with satisfaction and returned to Xiangyang.
As soon as Kou Feng got off the carriage, he saw a guard at the door reporting: "Your Majesty, Zhang Dao, the Grandpa Zhang Dao, has been waiting for a long time."
"Yes." Kou Feng nodded after hearing this and walked in.
After a while, we arrived outside the hall.
I saw Zhang Daosu standing by the door, with several people dressed by craftsmen beside him, and there was a crossbow and an expanded version of the crossbow.
"Is this a crossbow bed?" Kou Feng's eyes lit up and he blurted out.
"Report to you, it's indeed a crossbow bed." Zhang Dao immediately raised his head when he heard this, smiled at Kou Feng and bowed to salute.
"Can you also fire ten iron arrows in a row?" Kou Feng walked over quickly and asked.
"It is basically the same as the function of the Chu State crossbow. Even the problem of loading arrows has been inherited." Zhang Daolue was a little proud and a little ashamed, saying.
Although it was also fired continuously, loading iron arrows not only could not be improved, but it was even more troublesome. Because the crossbow bed was large and the shooting power was strong.
Therefore, it takes four people to load the iron arrows.
However, even so, Kou Feng was ecstatic.
If you enter Yongliang, then cavalry is indispensable. Infantry is also indispensable. Cavalry has its own protective power, and you can escape if you cannot defeat it.
But there were no infantry, so we needed a serial crossbow to deal with the Yongliang cavalry. But what about the city?
If there are countless cavalrymen, the city is also relatively low. As long as the cavalry is shooting outside, it can suppress the defensive power in the city. It will become much easier to siege the city.
If there are more crossbow beds in the city, it will be different. Crossbow beds are basically invented to deal with cavalry when defending the city. With an arrow, it can effectively shoot cavalry and be powerful. With a crossbow bed, the city that has already occupied can also become safer.
If you really win first and then fight, you will have all kinds of solutions to deal with emergencies.
I really only need time when entering Sichuan.
