Chapter 248 Huihou Qinghou(1/2)
There are many dangerous mountains and peaks around Bashu, but the terrain inside is flat, with rivers being arranged horizontally and horizontally, making it very rich.
Often, if you pass the dangerous obstacles that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, you can get unimaginable returns.
Ziying resisted the urge to laugh wildly, led a thousand Qin troops and six thousand Bashu to set out in a hurry to Zitong.
At the moment, Jiangyoushu was extremely empty, and Ziying only needed to capture Zitong and let Li Xin's army come in, and it would take no effort to attack Chengdu.
The next day at Xu hour, the Bashu army behind them were already dark and stared at the "Baiyue soldiers" covered in armor, secretly imagining the scene of them being killed by the Qin army.
At its peak, the number of infantry soldiers in the Qin army was only 80%. Except for the Qin army, the others only wore a few more layers of cloth to keep the cold.
Ziying was in a particularly happy mood when the cold night wind blew.
"Does Mr. Mao know the origin of Zi Tong's name?" Ziying asked Mao Qiao beside him.
Mao Qiao shook his head, "I have never been to Bashu, but I really don't know."
Ziying pointed to the mountain with only outlines in the distance, "Originally, this mountain was named 'Nichen Mountain', which was the place where Dayu controlled water and accumulated mud. Dayu wanted to use the Nichen Mountain's cataly tree as a canoe. It is said that the cataly tree was not convinced and turned into a boy..."
"What happened later?" Mao Qiao suddenly became interested when he heard the strange thing and opened his eyes wide to look at Ziying.
"Later, naturally, Dayu cut off the boy to build a boat, and this mountain was changed to Zitong Mountain because it was surrounded by water." Ziying said.
"That's it? I cut it off?" Mao Qiao frowned, unable to accept it.
"The Qin army assisting Zitong is important, please don't care about those." Ziying smiled, "There is Wuyang in the south of Zitong and Baoning in the east. You can support or retreat. You must conquer within one day and then go straight to Chengdu."
Mao Qiao was reluctant to calm down and nodded helplessly.
"The soldiers of Bashu have been deceived, but can they obey the orders of the king?" Mao Qiao was a little worried.
Ziying narrowed her eyes and looked northeast, and smiled, "I have my own way, but everything will be done until midnight."
"Zhongshi? Our army does not recognize the terrain of Bashu, wouldn't it be even more unfavorable for Zishi?" Mao Qiao said in confusion.
"It's okay." Ziying smiled evilly, "It's good if the Bashu soldiers recognize the terrain."
Ziying turned around and trotted to the rear, found a Bashu soldier with a strong face and seemed to be able to lead the team, and muttered for a while.
Until the Bashu soldiers gritted their teeth and nodded, they almost burst into tears and rushed towards Zitong with six thousand.
Ziying led a thousand people to travel northeast.
At the hour of Hai, these thousand people appeared in the distance of the camp beside the river with torches. It was said to be a camp, but there was no tent. Ten thousand Qin soldiers gathered around the bonfire and closed their eyes to rest.
"Building camps in the river? This is a taboo! If there is an enemy attack, there will be no way out of retreat." Mao Qiao said in surprise, "Captain Li Xin can do such a thing?"
"It's probably not the work of Commander Li Xin..."
Ziying narrowed her eyes and thought, Li Xin would not let Zhang Er lead the army, the only possibility was Zhao Ji!
The only way for Zhao Ji to get here is to cross Jianmen Mountain.
Ziying couldn't figure out how Zhao Ji could pass by without the tools to open the mountain.
In Ziying's heart, Zhao Ji is a scheming woman who only cares about the top position. With her appearance and ability, she will be favored by the monarch of the vassal state at any time, and there is no need to help him with such effort...
"Who is it? Madam, there is an enemy situation!"
By the camp fire, Qin soldiers guarding the camp found Ziying and others covered with armor on the west side.
"Show the arrows and welcome the enemy!" Zhao Ji stood up and shouted.
The bonfire reflects Zhao Ji's decisive face, which is completely different from the usual show-off style.
Ziying had no intention of appreciating it, and had deceived Jiang Youshu's army and didn't want to be shot to death by his own people here.
"Don't shoot arrows! It's me! It's not the Bashu soldiers!" Ziying waved his hand and shouted,
"Your Majesty? Stop quickly!" Zhao Ji shouted.
Although the order was stopped, the Qin army took action too quickly. Thousands of arrows cut through the night sky and headed straight for Ziying and his group!
"Get down quickly!"
Everyone followed the order and hurriedly lay on the ground, avoiding most of the arrows, and a few arrows shot on their bodies were also blocked by armor.
When Ziying was secretly happy, she noticed that Mao Qiao was still stunned. Dozens of arrows shot towards Mao Qiao in the air.
"Silly, lie down!"
Ziying stood up, pressed Mao Qiao's head, and forced him to the ground.
Whoosh-
Mao Qiao avoided the rain of arrows and shot Ziying's abdomen with a strong arrow, penetrated the armor and stuck it firmly on his body.
"I shouldn't have let them pull the bow!"
Ziying gritted her teeth and pulled out the arrow, and the blood flowed down instantly and penetrated into her trouser legs.
"The King..." Mao Qiao took the lead and looked at Ziying with a pale face.
The ten thousand troops all looked faded and gathered around quickly.
Zhao Ji, who was left behind, pushed everyone away, knelt beside Ziying, untied herbs, and chewed the yellow-brown herbs on Ziying's wounds.
Ruzhu's blood instantly became smaller and gradually stopped. Zhao Ji tore off Ziying's coat and bandage it carefully.
"Along the way, fortunately, I paid attention to the herbs on the road." Zhao Ji smiled while wiping her sweat.
In ancient times, witch doctors were integrated, and Zhao Ji could also do magic tricks. Ziying was not surprised that she was more interested in her father today, but now it was not the time to ask questions.
"I still want to... return to Zitong, and my wife set up an ambush here, so that she must wipe out the Bashu army." Ziying couldn't help but reminded her.
"The king is injured, so let me go." Mao Qiao said anxiously, "The king is injured for me, so I should..."
"I can only do this. Zitong's guards may not be as easy as Lu Wan." Ziying gasped, "Zitong's important town has added the defenders of Jiangyoushi. There are no less than 10,000 people here. Please be careful."
"The king cannot go back anymore. The guard of Zitong is Guo Ting. It is said that this person is resourceful. If the king goes up, he will be in danger." Zhao Ji said anxiously.
"Guo Ting?!"
Ziying muttered secretly, a little hesitant. Guo Ting was definitely not stupid, his intelligence was very vague, as if he was wise and stupid.
Guo Ting followed Lu Ze from Shan’s father until Liu Bang won the world and made many military achievements, but it was too ordinary compared to others.
He always followed the Han army to fight with the Duwei. The only unique record was that he did the fire to Baoxiaodao himself.
In the third year of the Han Dynasty, Guo Ting was named Marquis because of the power of the Lu family.
But even though he had a close relationship with the Lu family, Guo Ting was not affected at all and ended safely when he was killed.
What Ziying couldn't grasp the most was Guo Ting's title - Marquis Hui!
Hui was a neutral title. Duke Wen of Jin Chong'er was dominant for a while and founded the hegemony of Jin. His elder brother Duke Hui of Jin Yiwu also made a lot of contributions to national strength. He was called "Hui" by later generations only because of his indiscriminate killing of ministers.
When Emperor Hui of Han Liu Ying was reigned, he cultivated and practiced benevolent governments. He was also called "Hui" because he could not eliminate the interference of foreign relatives and died prematurely.
Guo Ting has little achievements and is too close to the Lü family. The word "hui" that can be called is definitely because of its outstanding ability in some aspects!
"What the hell is it?" Ziying stood up and muttered.
"You can make mistakes even if your wife sets up camp, so the king should stay, so that your wife will not be able to successfully set up an ambush and miss a big deal." Mao Qiao said anxiously, determined not to let Ziying be injured again and take risks.
"I am indeed like this, I hope the king will help you." Zhao Ji echoed.
Ziying smiled bitterly. He thought Zhao Ji had made a mistake just now, but judging from Qin's reaction, Zhao Ji should have deliberately built a camp in the river.
Only in this way can the Bashu army be attacked and the Jinniu Dao defenders come here, and Li Xin can take the opportunity to pass. When the Zitong army comes here, he can disperse the enemy's firepower for him.
"How did the lady come here?" Ziying suddenly changed the topic, "Jianmen Mountain is not something that ordinary people can cross."
"That's true." Zhao Ji nodded, "Even a long-trained soldier, it is difficult to cross. But my father often travels to the mountains to collect herbs. Although Jianmen Mountain is dangerous, it is not difficult for me."
Zhao Ji's arm in her sleeve was covered with scars. If she hadn't known that Ziying was walking on a strange path, she wouldn't have been so dangerous.
"So that's it." Ziying smiled, "The truths are the same. Madam can walk on Jianmen Mountain, and I can also meet Zitong Guoting for a while!"
Mao Qiao was anxious, "Master, don't do anything arbitrary!"
Ziying ignored it and continued, "After annihilation of Zitong's invading soldiers, he stopped moving and waited until I came back to discuss!"
Ziying covered her wound and slowly headed south.
"Master!"
"I don't want my previous efforts to be wasted, so I will act according to my plan!"
Ziying drank Mao Qiao and walked out of everyone's sight. After letting go of his hand covering his stomach, he ran away quickly.
The wound that stopped the bleeding instantly collapsed, and Ziying's left hand was stained with blood and was smearing it on her face randomly.
When they arrived at the north gate of Zitong, Ziying, with a pale complexion, gave birth to a bloody man.
"A thousand...all soldiers died at the hands of the Qin army! Qin army...the Qin army is about to attack!" Ziying shouted, and she was fainted in front of her eyes, and she fell to the ground and pretended to be unconscious.
The Zitong defenders saw Ziying's armor and miserable situation, and looked around. There was nothing unusual about it. They quickly opened the city gate and walked into the city with Ziying on their backs.
The drowsy Ziying didn't know how long it took, but she felt that she was being placed on the cold ground and sat up unconsciously in an instant.
The long hair was wet, and a Bashu soldiers were putting away the wooden basin. The six thousand Bashu soldiers just lowered their heads to a thin man with his back to Ziying.
"Ahem... Commander Guo is this?" Ziying wiped her face and asked carefully.
To be continued...
