Chapter 335 Meeting in Guanzhong (3)

In the second year of Qin II, the Dazexiang Uprising had come to an end, and all the princes rose up one after another.

When Chu attacked Lou Cang, Liu Kan and Xiang Liang reached an agreement to give up Lou Cang and withdraw from Sishui County, and began the Long March that lasted nearly half a year.

Almost at the same time, Baman, who had taken down Hanzhong, burned the plank road from Neisha County to Hanzhong at the suggestion of Tang Li. On the one hand, it was to cut off the Qin army's route to attack Hanzhong, and on the other hand, it also told Xianyang that Bashu had no intention of attacking Xianyang. At that time, Guanzhong was in a state of emptiness, and Xianyang was naturally happy to ignore Bashu's expression.

As the war in Shandong became more intense, Bashu was left behind for a while.

In July of the fourth year of Qin II, a group of people walked through the vast mountains of Nanshan Mountain. Nanshan, which is the Qinling Mountains in later generations, was also the barrier to the south of Guanzhong. The number of this group of people was not large, about 30,000 or 40,000 people. The flags were closed, the horses wrapped their hooves, and the mouths were held, quietly walking through a 660-mile canyon. The team was moving in an orderly manner, and at the same time, there were silent.

Before this, there was no trace of people.

The two mountains stand together, the cliffs are rugged... The ground is filled with potholes and uneven heights, and there are many shrubs and wormwood in many places, which are almost tall.

A young man who is nearly a meter tall walks on foot.

Holding a bright hilt knife in hand, the light of the knife flashed, and the wormwood shrubs fell one after another.

Behind him were there a hundred burly and burly men, like young men, holding a hijab and cutting a path through the bushes and rocks.

"Mr. Xin, the military advisor said that he would take a rest for half an hour and pause his progress!"

A strong man, eight feet tall, hurriedly ran over from behind, suppressed his voice, and conveyed the order.

The young man raised his hijab, which was one size bigger than the others, and the hundred men stopped in unison. He took off the slug, removed the black wind-shielding towel on his face, and spitted a mouthful of saliva, and said in a muffled voice: "Everyone rest, continue in half an hour."

A hundred burly men immediately bowed and sat on the ground.

Take out dry food and clear water from your carry-on bag and chew it silently.

The young man put his nearly six-foot-long mountain knife into the black snakeskin scabbard and walked back with the man who came to deliver the letter.

Among the central army, a thin man stood quietly in front of a huge rock.

He was wearing a blue-gray long-distance race, with a black crown on his head. He had a pretty appearance, fair skin, and a black beard under his jaw moved with the wind, giving him a gentle and elegant spirit.

A personal soldier was holding a torch next to him, and the young man spread a map on the huge rock, looking at it intently.

"Uncle Tang, this is a very difficult road!"

The young man, who was over 100 meters tall, came over and complained in a muffled voice: "When will you have to walk like this before you can go out?"

"Win, why don't you have the strength?"

"It's not that I don't have the strength, but this path is really hard to walk."

The strong man who went to report also said: "Military advisor, this road is indeed difficult to walk... There is no way to go. I have been careful and ruthless along the way. In just three days, I have lost 200 war horses. If I can't walk out, I'm afraid my morale will be affected."

The military advisor laughed when he heard this.

"This is the king's idea."

He whispered: "If it weren't for the king's mention, I've been in Hanzhong for two years, and I didn't even know that there was such a canyon that could lead directly to Xianyang."

The strong man also showed admiration, "Military advisor, let alone you, I grew up in Hanzhong since I was a child, and I didn't know there was such a way."

"But walking is very difficult!"

The young man complained, but his voice became much weaker.

The military advisor said: "If you have any objections, you will complain to your second uncle."

When the young man heard this, he immediately felt bitter, scratched his head and walked to the side and went to eat.

This young man is Liu Xin.

And that military advisor, Tang Li, who Liu Kan stayed in Bashu, was smiling and shook his head gently.

"Ji Xin, don't be anxious!"

He whispered: "According to the information we discovered earlier, the Ziwu Valley is 660 miles. We have already walked almost 500 miles in the past three days. One day, at the latest, we can walk out at sunset tomorrow... After leaving Ziwu Valley, we will dominate the mountain."

Ji Xin is from Langzhong.

Originally served the Qin Zhi brothers, but in the second year of Qin II, Baman joined forces with Yan Dao's original Ba people to take Hanzhong in one fell swoop. The Qin brothers had no choice but to face Baman's fierce attack. In the end, they had to surrender and stop making unnecessary resistance.

This Ji Xin was the surrendered general at that time.

However, this person is strong and extremely loyal.

When he first surrendered, he wanted to be loyal to death several times, but he failed. In the end, Baman came forward personally and comforted him.

Seeing that he was loyal and upright, and had a rough understanding of military tactics and was extremely brave, Tang Li was about to come over and serve as a general by his side.

Among the Ba people, there are few who are good at cavalry warriors...

Even if he is proficient, he has no chance to use it. Ji Xin can be regarded as the only general who knows the method of cavalry war except Monk.

This is obviously very important to Tang Li.

Looking up at the sky, I saw the bright moon and the stars were gone.

He couldn't help but frown slightly and waved to Liu Xin over, "Xin, the weather in Nanshan is unpredictable. Now it is the turn of summer and autumn, so it is even more difficult to predict. Judging from this weather, there is a very likely light rain tomorrow. Please inform us, bring rain gear, and speed up the speed of the journey."

Liu Xin is no longer the ignorant boy who entered Sichuan four years ago.

Liu Xin, who is twenty-five, is even taller than Liu Kan, but compared to Liu Kan and Liu Ju, he is a little thinner.

My round face when I was a teenager has now become oval.

The eyes are narrow and long, with a high forehead and wide mouth. The short beard is like a steel needle, with a curvy and knotty look, revealing a mature and steady aura.

He frowned and said to Tang Li: "Uncle Tang, it's not that I don't want to speed up, it's really hard to walk... If it rains tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll slow down. In the past three days, the children have been doing their best and used all their strength, so it's difficult to speed up."

Tang Li smiled, "I don't care about this. In short, I will arrive at the valley entrance before sunset tomorrow.

This is what you do, I will ask your second uncle for the first time. When you reach the valley, you can rest well."

After saying that, he pointed to a line on the map, "If I guess it's not bad, your aunt Man and Mr. Monk have already passed the Chen Cang Road.

Once your second uncle launches an attack, our team must take on the role of restraint and raid to facilitate your Aunt Man to seize Wugong County... Is it true that our opponent is this time? It's Liu Ji, don't you look down on him the most?"

When Liu Xin was a child, he was often bullied by Liu Bang's gangsters in Pei County.

Hearing this, a fierce light flashed in his narrow eyes, and he said in a muffled voice: "Uncle Tang, don't worry, I promise we will arrive at the entrance of the valley before sunset."

Half an hour passed quickly...

Liu Xin led his troops to continue to advance, and three thousand soldiers and horses disappeared into the narrow valley while taking advantage of the dull moonlight!

Ying Huhai is already seventeen years old.

At the age of seventeen, he rarely deals with political affairs since he ascended the throne. Apart from a court meeting when he ascended the throne, Hu Hai only showed up when dealing with his brothers and sisters. Then, after Li Si went to the Heavenly Prison, Hu Hai sent someone to interrogate him once, but he never took any measures. Most of the time, he was immersed in singing and dancing. Sometimes, he even got drunk for several days.

Although he was only seventeen years old, his body had been emptied because of his wine and sex.

Her face was pale and a little sick. Her chubby little face was so fatter that she couldn't even open her eyes...

However, as he grew older, Hu Hai was no longer as ignorant as he was when he was twelve or twelve years old. Especially after the situation in Shandong became increasingly corrupt and Wuguan was defeated, Hu Hai began to develop a sense of vigilance and suspicion towards Zhao Gao, whom he had always trusted.

It was just because he had no one available, and most of the guards in the Xianyang Palace came from Zhao Gao's CSR Mansion. This made Ying Hu Hai feel unprecedentedly panic. So after thinking about it, he made a temporary decision to take over the role of guards by Baili Shu and take over the position of imperial guards. Ying Hu Hai, who was born in the deep palace, had no choice but to trust the eunuchs around him.

Out of Ying Hu Hai's expectations, when he appointed Baili Shu as the Weiwei, Zhao Gao did not resist too much.

Either Zhao Gao and Baili Shu colluded, and it doesn't matter who takes over the Wei Wei; or Zhao Gao has no time to ask about it now.

Ying Huhai chose the second possibility.

Because he knew that there seemed to be a gap between Zhao Gao and Baili Shu.

That night, Hu Hai was extremely rare. He did not watch songs and dances, but moved to Xingle Palace to read past classics and memorials.

"Baili, what do you think of Beiguang Wujun?"

He asked suddenly.

Baili Shu said: "Mr. Beiguangwu... This person is a loyal minister, but he is a little straightforward and does not know any way to adapt."

Ying Huhai asked, "Then do you think he is loyal to me?"

"Your Majesty is the lord of the old Qin and a descendant of the Ying clan. As for the King of Beiguang Wu... at least one thing that the old slave can be sure is that he will be loyal to the old Qin."

The implication is: As long as your Majesty, you are the lord of the old Qin, then Liu Kan will be loyal to you.

A smile appeared on his fat face.

His eyes were almost invisible, and Ying Huhai nodded slightly and said, "To be honest, the King of Beiguang Wu has the grace of saving me."

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Baili, where are you?"

Baili Shu couldn't help but be stunned, "I forgive my uncle for being foolish and rude, I don't know what Your Majesty heard, what does it mean?"

"What I mean is that you are loyal to me?"

Baili Shu heard this and knelt down with a pounce, crawling on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I can see the sun and the moon. I am certainly loyal to Your Majesty. Who is worthy of your Majesty's loyalty in this world?"

Ying Huhai nodded with satisfaction.

He asked softly, "Do you know, Mr. Guangwu...oh, it's the King of the Western Tang Dynasty. Where are the soldiers now?"

Baili Shu quickly replied: "When Wu Pass was defeated, Zhao Zhongcheng sent someone to Beiguangwu City and asked Guangwu Jun and the King of Western Tang to send troops.

Guangwujun also agreed at that time and would send troops as soon as possible.
To be continued...
