Chapter 218 Who is smarter than who?

It has passed the dog days and the weather is still hot.

After several days of high temperature, I finally waited for a rain cloud, and the air seemed to be filled with a wetness. However, this wetness did not relieve the high temperature of Pingyang at all. Instead, because of this wetness, Pingyang was shrouded in a cloud of humid and hot air. Even if it was no longer the scorching sun, sitting in the room, even if it was motionless, would produce wet white-haired sweat, making people feel even more uncomfortable.

There was a hint of breeze, but it could not blew the lush branches and leaves.

Tian Du was wearing a pair of single clothes, shirtless, and his face was a little gloomy.

"Please think twice. Wang Ke is calling you to Lu County at this time, but I'm afraid you are not good at it. The old Qin people have seen the flaws. Tian An sent assassin to assassinate the old Qin imperial envoy, which even exposed Yingyi. Now, the imperial envoy did not go to Jibei County, but suddenly turned to Xiaqiu... If you go to Lu County, it would be like a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger, with more dangers... you must not go, and you must not go."

Yan is the word Tiandu.

Tiandu, who is over 40 years old, is about eight feet tall, has broad arms and a round waist, and is powerful.

However, perhaps influenced by Qilu culture, there was a bookish atmosphere between his eyebrows. He played with the knife and cloth in his hand, quietly sitting in the courtyard without saying a word. On both sides of him, Zhang Liang and Li Zuoche were sitting upright, both looking at Tian Du nervously.

After hearing that Liu Kan changed the route, Li Zuoche immediately led people to attack Pingyang.

As soon as he settled down, he heard that the governor of Xue County, Wang Ke, sent someone to recruit Tiandu to Lu County to discuss matters. Whether it was Li Zuoche or Zhang Liang, he immediately understood the mystery. So Li Zuoche immediately came to dissuade him, while Zhang Liang was on the side and silently planned.

Tian Du twisted his black beard and pondered without saying a word.

With some sinister eyes, he stared at Zhang Liang who was bowing his head and pondering.

To be honest, he doesn't like this person. It cannot be denied that Zhang Liang is very capable, and his resentment towards Lao Qin is also from the bottom of his heart.

But...he is too selfish!

On the surface, Zhang Liang provoked the turmoil in Qi to relieve the pressure on the anti-Qin group south of the Yangtze River. But in fact, once the Qin army in Chenjun and other places acted, the direct beneficiary was not the anti-Qin group in Chu, but the descendants of Han.

Everyone knows that Lao Qin's soldiers and horses lived in Nanyang, Chen County and other places were on the one hand to monitor Jiangnan, and on the other hand, they also suppressed the anti-Qin group of the Han and the Han Wei. Especially Yingchuan County, which was the territory of the Han. Lao Qin's soldiers and horses directly monitored the every move of Yingchuan County, which undoubtedly contained great pressure on the descendants of the Han Dynasty. Zhang Liang was a Korean!

When Zhang Liang appeared in Qidi and lobbying Tian Du and others, he outlined an extremely wonderful blueprint.

Tian Dudu agreed, so he couldn't wait to contact Tian An and others, intending to implement Zhang Liang's plan in Qilu.

But as time went by, Tian Du gradually saw a clue.

Zhang Liang's plan was not for everyone. He was the descendant of the Han nobles, and what he thought in his heart was to restore the Han.

Whether it is Qilu or Chu.

After fighting against the old Qin people, it seems that only Han can benefit.

Everyone knows Zhang Zifang's heart. Although Tian Du wanted to stop the plan, it was already difficult to make a move and had to bite the bullet and carry on.

In comparison, Tian Du admires Li Zuoche more.

Perhaps it is not as good as Zhang Liang's plan, but he is at least devoted to serving the public. This time, Li Zuoche hurried to Pingyang to report the news, and he can tell his character's character is good and bad. Unfortunately, although Li Zuoche is a famous general, he is much worse than Zhang Liang's fame.

As for the reason?

On the one hand, Li Zuoche is still young, and on the other hand, Zhang Liangbo's actions of stomping Qin add a halo to him.

Tian Du felt even more unhappy when he saw Zhang Liang silent. Didn’t you talk about the plan before? Why did you become a mute again at this time?

"What the young master said is not unaware of it." Tian Du said in a deep voice after hesitating for a while: "It's just that Pingyang is not ready yet. The troops scattered around the country will be assembled at least seven days. If I don't go to Lu County, wouldn't I give the old Qin people a handle? Then they will definitely send troops to arrest me on the excuse of my refusal to be summoned, and it will be difficult to escape the conflict."

"But if you go, how is it different to fall into the trap?

The old Qin people will definitely detain you and then send troops to Pingyang... The result is the same. Yan Gong, please think twice before acting."

After Li Zuoche finished speaking, he stood up and wandered in the courtyard for a few steps.

Suddenly stopped, "Or, we leave Pingyang now?"

Tian Du smiled, "Leaving Tiandu in Pingyang is like floating duckweed without roots. My foundation is in Pingyang, in Xue County... Without foundation, what is the difference between Tiandu and death? Young Master, I know your kindness, Tian is grateful. However, Tian will never leave Pingyang easily."

Li Zuoche really wanted to say the truth that "keep the green mountains there, and you are not afraid of burning firewood."

But when he thought about it, he could understand Tiandu. How could he abandon this rural complex at will? Everything in Tiandu is in Xue County, in Pingyang. If he left here, he would not be different from ordinary people. Li Zuoche had a deep understanding of this. After his grandfather was killed, he could have gone to Dai County with his father. There was a foundation laid by his grandfather and had a prestige that even King Zhao could not match.

However, my father chose to leave Zhao State.

He wandered in another place for many years and achieved nothing. When Li Zuoche went to Dai County again, things had changed.

On the contrary, General Chai was just a young general under his grandfather's tent, and in terms of fame and ability, he could not compare with Li Zuoche's father. After the fall of Zhao State, General Chai did not flee from Zhao State, but chose to return to his hometown Jipu. With the strength of the village party, more than ten years have passed, General Chai has a military force of 2,000 people in his hands. Heroes from all over the country respected the father and son of the Chai family very much.

Li Zuoche sometimes wonders, if his father stayed in Dai County, what kind of achievements would he have now?

It's really hard to say about this kind of thing. Looking at Tian Du, Li Zuoche suddenly felt a little emotional and sat down silently again.

"Mr. Zifang, do you have a clever plan?"

Tian Du glanced at Zhang Liang calmly and asked.

"Under Lao Qin's rule, there are indeed many talents!"

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly, "Just making a small change, it puts us in a dilemma. It's not that Zhang Liang had made a mistake in his plan, but the timing was wrong... Yan Gong, now it's not without a plan to break the situation. Since there is no way out, why not take a gamble?"

"Get a bet?"

Li Zuoche was stunned and then understood, "Mr. Zhang means... to start a crime in advance?"

Zhang Liang nodded, "Now all the troops are in preparation. Pingyang City is high and thick, and local officials are willing to obey Duke Yan's orders. With Duke Yan's prestige and shouting, the righteous men from all over Xue County will definitely respond. Just hold on for seven days, the situation in Xue County will inevitably turn around... At that time, Duke Fu sent troops from Linzi to restrain the troops of Langya, Donghai and Sishui counties.

When Qi is in chaos, the Jiangnan rebel army can take action. Although it may not be able to destroy the old Qin, it can also drive the Qin dog back to Guanzhong."

Tian Du frowned and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Liang's strategy is not without feasibility.

Could it be successful? Tian Du is really not sure...

He glanced at Li Zuoche, but saw this young man whom he admired very much and nodded at him.

Obviously, Li Zuoche agrees with Zhang Liang's opinion!

"Since that's the case, follow the plan of Mr."

Tian Du made up his mind and suddenly felt much more relaxed. In fact, this is often the case. When he is unsure of his mind, he is in a dilemma and hesitant. But once he makes a decision, even if he knows that he will fail, he will feel relieved. Whether he succeeds or not, he will only look at the next action.

So, that night, Tiandu set up a banquet in the mansion, inviting Pingyang officials and local gentry.

These people have already expressed their loyalty to Tian Du.

So when Tian Du explained the situation, all the personnel agreed and decided to announce the uprising on the second day. In the name of restoring Tian Qi, Tian Du proclaimed himself as the general and made proper arrangements for personnel from all sides, leaving behind his confidants to discuss in the mansion.

Since you are about to cause trouble, it involves all aspects.

Li Zuoche was also kept by Tian Du to discuss tomorrow's action plan together. On the contrary, Zhang Liang had never participated in this secret talk.

"Shaojun, in your opinion, can we succeed?"

Li Zuoche bit his lip and smiled bitterly, "This is hard to say. It depends on others, but it is the best place to succeed... We will definitely have many intricacies in this hasty uprising, and the outcome is difficult to predict. However, what Mr. Zhang said is not bad. Yan Gong has been in Pingyang for many years and has a deep foundation. If he can last for seven days, he may really be able to save the situation after the arrival of various rebels."

"I don't believe him!"

Tiandu suddenly said something.

Li Zuoche knew what Tian Du meant, but he didn't know how to say it...

Zhang Liang was a little anxious. He exposed Tian An too early and looked down on Lao Qin's ability too much. However, it cannot be denied that although Zhang Liang's plan was selfish, there was no mistake in the general direction. What's more, Bo Langsha assassinated Qin, making Zhang Liang famous. Whether in terms of ability, fame and qualifications, Li Zuoche was not qualified to comment.

Tian Du said words of distrust of Zhang Liang in front of him, to some extent, he regarded Li Zuoche as his own person.

But what if you think of yourself?

I know my own affairs! Li Zuoche is very clear that he is not qualified to be comparable to Zhang Liang.

Therefore, Li Zuoche could only respond to Tian Du's words with silence.

But at this moment, a noise suddenly came from the mansion... Then, the sound of footsteps rang out in a hurry. An old man stumbled open the study door, threw himself into the house, and then knelt on both knees, "Master, something is wrong!"

Tian Du was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Why are you panic?"

This old man is his confidant. His ancestors have been serving Tian’s family since the father of Mengchangjun, the youngest son of King Wei of Qi. Since the time when Jingguojun and Tian Ying have counted, this old man has experienced many things, but he has never been as embarrassed as he is today. Tian couldn’t help but feel confused.

The old man said, "Qin Gouzi, Qin Gouzi is here!"

Tian didn't react, "What did you say?"

"Master, Qin Gouzi's army is here..."

At this moment, Tian Du realized his reaction. His face suddenly turned pale. He took two steps forward and grabbed the collar of the old man.

"You say it again?"

"The Qin Gouzi army suddenly arrived at the city and blocked the two gates of Pingyang. Now, the city of Pingyang is in chaos... The county magistrate has brought people to the city to watch and sent people to deliver the letter, asking the master to decide."

Tian Du's head buzzed, and he was stunned.

How is this possible...

Yesterday I heard that the Sishui Commander Liu Kan was preparing for the preparations in Xiaqiu. Moreover, the envoy of Lu County left Pingyang only today, and there was no sign of the Qin army being mobilized. Why did the troops come to the city all at once? Could it be that the old Qin people invited the divine weapons?

Tian Du was confused, but Li Zuoche was very sober.

"Old butler, do you know how many soldiers and horses the Qin army has? Who is the chief general?"

"The county magistrate sent someone to say that Qin Gouzi's troops were divided into two groups and came from Lu County and Xiaqiu. The chief general of the Qin army outside the east gate seemed to be the commander of the county magistrate Xue, with about two or three thousand people; while the chief general outside the west gate seemed to be Liu. The black one was too heavy to see how many soldiers there were.

However, it is said that the vanguard is a cavalry team, with about two or three hundred men.

There were countless infantrymen, and I couldn't see clearly for a while. The county magistrate asked someone to ask, what should I do?"

Liu Kan, here you go!

Li Zuoche couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Although he was a little panicked, he was also very curious. He wanted to see what kind of person the old man who made great achievements in the northern border and was able to invent Cheng Gongzhi was. He first asked the envoy to come to Pitiandu, and then led the god of troops to Pingyang with the power of thunder... This plan was not very simple.

The most important thing is that Liu Kan made this plan, probably a temporary idea.

What does such a person look like?

When Li Zuoche thought of this, he was immediately excited.

He pushed Tian Du and whispered: "Donald Yan, let's go to the city to explore?"

"Ah, that's what it should be, it should be!" Tian Du also reacted and immediately ordered someone to take it out of the mansion with a sword, and walked out of the mansion with Li Zuoche.

When he was out, Tian Du suddenly remembered something and asked his hometown: "Where is Mr. Zifang?"
To be continued...
