Chapter 319 Suspicion and Test(1/2)
"Yingbu failed because he killed his wife. He just wants to live in Jiujiang?" Ji Han, who was on the right side of Ziying, shrank his neck and exclaimed.
They were freezing all the way back, so the group wanted to bring more clothes with them when they went back, but they didn't expect to leave in such a hurry and didn't have time to buy more. They were afraid that Mei Er and Lv Zhi would react and sent troops to catch up, so they didn't dare to slow down until the sky was dark.
speed.
Four people who were famous among the vassal states turned pale in the cold in the wilderness in winter.
"Yingbu's letter to Wu Rui said this. Even though killing his wife is depressing, I don't really believe it." Ziying shrank down to explain, using his big sleeves as gloves to pull the reins.
"It's hard to say." Zhang Ao couldn't make up his mind and looked at Zhang Liang, who was most embarrassed on the left, "What do Mr. Zifang think?"
"Yingbu... is a capable man. Not only Wu Rui and Mei Rong, but no one in the world will let him live in peace. He will either be used by others or killed by others. His land in Nanyang is destined not to last forever." Zhang Liang
After a pause, "If the King of Qin wants to recruit him, now is a good time, otherwise others will seize the opportunity and become Qin's enemy in the future."
"Recruiting?" Ziying shook his head.
This idea had never occurred to him before. In Ziying's mind, Yingbu before the Han Dynasty was Lu Bu at the end of the Han Dynasty. Lu Bu killed his adoptive father along the way and betrayed Liu Bei. Although he was brave and unjust, he was betrayed by his subordinates and died. Yingbu betrayed him first.
Xiang Yu later rebelled against Liu Bang and became a powerful force. He was eventually deceived by Wu Rui's grandson, Changsha Ai King Wu Hui, and died in a foreign land.
A rogue general who is crowned king among hundreds of thousands of guilty people is like feeding an unfamiliar wolf. Anyone who dares to use him as a minister will seek death. His terror is far greater than that of Chen Xi.
"Whoever likes to recruit this kind of people, let him go. I won't join in the fun." Ziying refused, gradually becoming wary of Zhang Liang, "Mr. Zifang resented me for nearly killing Huang Shigong, so he came out with such a low-level person.
Plot?!"
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I have almost forgotten that today's King of Qin no longer only occupied the isolated city of Xianyang. Besides Li Xin, there are many heroes around him. If it had been the case back then, King Qin would have tried his best to do it."
"Others should forget this kind of thing, but Mr. Zifang should keep it in mind." Ziying sneered, "Mr. Zifang has been away from Qin for a long time and has been traveling among various countries. It is inevitable that he will return to me for a certain king and plot against me!
"
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Ao felt something was wrong with his aura, "If it weren't for Mr. Zifang, I would not have discovered the traces of King Chu carrying the cud. Mr. Zifang is also helping the Qin Dynasty by hiding his traces."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Ziying squinted at Zhang Liang.
Although Zhang Liang's greatest contribution was formulating the overall strategic plan and planning people, it was enough to make people unable to guard against it.
Xiang Yu did not want to give Hanzhong County to Liu Bang, but Zhang Liang paid a lot of money to bribe Xiang Bo, and he finally got his wish.
After the enfeoffment, Liu Bang was still detained in Xianyang by Xiang Yu, unable to escape and return to Hanzhong. Zhang Liang joined forces with Chen Ping, who was still in the Chu camp, and first sent Fan Zeng to send Emperor Yi to Bin County. Later, Zhang Liang falsely claimed that Liu Bangruo had returned to Pei County.
He proclaimed himself king in Peixian County. It would be better to rush to Hanzhong, let him take him home, and warn him to be an honest man. Liu Bang's house arrest was lifted.
The two things that Ziying is most worried about now are the grain in Qin and the old officials of Liu Bang that he has recruited. With Zhang Liang's ability and popularity in Liu Ying, he can easily destroy everything he has now, so he must be on guard against it.
"Wouldn't the King of Qin not be suspicious of people he employs and not use people he doubts? Such doubts will make me feel chilled." Zhang Liang said with a smile.
"I once gave Mr. Zifang a chance." Ziying was unmoved, "Besides, Mr. Zifang's words are contradictory regarding the matter of carrying cud in six cities. How can I make you feel at ease?!"
"Contradictory?!" Zhang Ao was puzzled, "Where is the king referring to?"
"Ziying Cui recruits knights!" Ziying yelled, "Mr. Zifang once said that FuCu has been hiding for many years, but he also said that knights follow FuCu because of his fame. I dare to ask, how can FuCu do these two things at the same time?
The knight knows about his existence, but doesn't let the princes of the world know about it?"
Zhang Ao frowned, such a simple contradiction was ignored by him.
"But this matter is from Chu Chu's own mouth and has nothing to do with Mr. Zifang." Zhang Ao said anxiously.
"Mr. Zifang has been walking with the bearer for a long time. You should know why. Why don't you tell me directly?" Ziying asked forcefully.
Zhang Liang was not flustered at all, and looked at Ziying with some relief and appreciation in his eyes.
"The King of Qin really noticed something strange." Zhang Liang asked with a smile, "If it is as expected by the King of Qin, how did he do it?"
"Zhuo Cu should not be known to anyone. He should use the name of others to recruit knights. And that person's power is no less than that of Fu Chu, and he can still be famous without fear of being tabooed by the princes. He and Fu Chu should have envoys
Since we are going back and forth, we can secretly use that person's name." Ziying analyzed.
"Yes, just as King Qin expected." Zhang Liang nodded.
Zhang Ao and Ji Han took in a breath of cold air and peeked at the two of them. A small suspicion could lead to another hidden force, and could also serve as a "code word" for Ziying and Zhang Liang. The two people's thinking was already extraordinary.
They can participate easily.
"Does Your Majesty know that force is..." Ji Han asked.
"Zhuang Qiao!!" Ziying and Zhang Liang spoke at the same time.
"They are his descendants?! Sure enough!" Zhang Ao and Ji Han suddenly realized.
Zhuang Qiao's name is not well known to future generations. However, he is well-known and it was he who founded the mysterious ancient Dian Kingdom.
Zhuang Qiao is a descendant of King Zhuang of Chu. He is also considered a royal family of the King of Chu. He is also a minister of King Qingxiang of Chu. He was sent by King Mi Heng of Chu Qingxiang to seize Bajun, the west of central Guizhou, and the land of Yunnan.
.
Zhuang Qiao had great military exploits and should have received a big reward when he returned home. However, the Qin State attacked the Chu State and blocked Zhuang Qiao's return. Zhuang Qiao proclaimed himself king in Dian and the Dian State was established.
The Dian Kingdom was established by Zhuang Qiao and lasted for about 170 years. Its civilization was splendid. Unfortunately, it finally encountered the conquest-loving Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the country fell.
"Fu Chu belongs to the royal family of the Chu Kingdom, and so does Zhuang Qiao. Because of their identities, the two are secretly connected. Today, the Chu Kingdom is occupied by the Xiang family. Chu knights who yearn for King Huai, and knights from other princes who are dissatisfied with Xiang Yu, think that Zhuang Qiao
The descendants of Qiao were orthodox, so they defected under the false summons, and were later intercepted in the Chu region." Zhang Liang explained.
"The world has been in chaos for three years, and I have forgotten that besides the dead King Huai Mi Xin, there is also an orthodoxy in Chu." Zhang Ao sighed, secretly blaming himself for not thinking carefully.
"I'm afraid only Fu Chu is the only one in the world who still misses the 'King of Chu' from the border." Ji Han said with a bitter smile.
"I have told you the truth, can King Qin feel at ease?" Zhang Liang said with a smile.
"I am...uneasy!"
Ziying drank, igniting the tense atmosphere again.
"What else is there, Your Majesty?" Zhang Ao did not dare to intercede for Zhang Liang anymore. Zhang Liang today was also extremely weird in his eyes.
"I have been planning for many years. When fame and reputation are important, the name of the king of Chu in the border area is not enough for me to win even a knight!" Ziying rode his horse around Zhang Ao and came to Zhang Liang's side. "People with ambitions will not think
If you put all your eggs in one basket, apart from the Dian Kingdom, the knights who defected to him may have other reasons for defecting!"
Ziying looked directly at Zhang Liang, "It has something to do with Qi Di? Right?"
"Ha... King Qin guessed it right again." Zhang Liang said with a smile, feeling that it was time to tell the whole story, "Not only the land of Qi, but also the land of the three Jins. At the moment, the land of Qi is not only the battle between Xiangtian, but also the past.
The royal family of the Qi Dynasty, the Jiang family. In the land of the Three Jin Dynasties, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou family, is hidden. Fu Chu’s collusion with this group of royal families who have long been living in exile is another reason for the knights to join.”
"Mr. Zhou?" Ziying nodded thoughtfully.
After Ji Bu was hunted by Liu Bang, he first hid in Zhou's family, and then was delivered to the Zhu family. Finally, he was saved from death by Xia Houying's persuasion.
"It seems that Mr. Zifang finally told the truth this time." Ziying sighed, "That old guy holding the cud has a weirdly long hand."
"Why didn't Mr. Zifang tell the truth?! If the king couldn't guess the key, wouldn't he have always underestimated Fu Chu?" Ji Han frowned, "Or, Mr. Zifang never thought of telling?!"
"Both of them, right?" Zhang Liang glanced at Zhang Ao and Ji Han with deep eyes, "Commander Li Xin of King Qin has plotted against me, and I also know that King Qin has many... conspiracies, so I will treat this matter as a countermeasure.
If the King of Qin sees the deeper meaning of King Qin's temptation, I will ignore the past and ignore those conspiracies. I will rely on the King of Qin's kindness of not killing my master and do my best for the King of Qin. At this moment, it seems that the King of Qin has passed the test."
Zhang Ao and Zhang Ao didn't know what the conspiracy was, but Ziying knew it well. But with Zhang Liang's verbal promise, Ziying was still worried about him. He planned to return to Qin, reorganize the Qin disciples, and deal with Zhang Liang's disciples.
Be careful and keep a close eye on them.
Ji Han was also dissatisfied with Zhang Liang's words, "When Mr. Zifang helped Liu Bang, there was no such test. Even so, to make things difficult and test him before he arrived in Qin is to be suspected of deceiving the emperor."
"Today is different from the past. If Pei Gong seizes the world, it may seem difficult but actually easy, but King Qin is on the contrary. Today's battle for the Nine Provinces involves more than just the group of people who conquered Qin." Zhang Liang looked around and said, "The Northern Huns
, the Marquis State of Eastern Ji, the Southern Dian State, Zhao Tuo... Except for the west side, there will be foreign enemies intervening. I am afraid that everyone who is unable to conquer the world on the border will seek help from foreign enemies and should not be underestimated. The King of Qin, he
The road to the sun is extremely difficult, so the temptation at this moment should be used as a warning to King Qin. We must...take care of every step and beware of anyone."
Ziying nodded lightly. Zhang Liang's words gave him a serious wake-up call as he thought the situation was settled.
Although Neishi County, Longxi County, Hanzhong County, Ba, Shu County, and Changsha County were obtained, they were no more than that. If you want to expand outward, you can only wait for another opportunity, and wait for another year. And this time
During the year, we still need to wait and see, secretly influencing the situation of various countries, and will not relax compared to the war.
"Let's go, there are still many important things waiting for me in Da Qin." Ziying sighed with a wry smile.
Zhang Ao and Zhang nodded, suddenly feeling that they had a great responsibility.
"There is something that I have doubts about." Ji Han asked.
"What's the matter?" Ziying was a little nervous. If Ji Hanruo only wanted to be king in Korea, he would still be a trouble in the future.
"Your Majesty... this trip should be through Nanyang to return to Qin. Why do you always look north to Henan?" Ji Han thought, "Given the current situation, Han Xin from Henan will pose a greater threat to the king."
?”
"This..." Ziying breathed a sigh of relief, and a feeling of sadness surged into his heart, "Just because...if someone returns to Qi, he cannot easily cross the former Western Wei Dynasty, so he has to go through Henan.
..”
As the snow fell, Ziying and his party finally entered Nanyang and rushed to Wancheng despite the cold.
Coming here for the second time, Ji Han felt extremely strange for a while, and was always wary of the actions of the people and soldiers in Wancheng.
Regardless of the chill, Ji Han drew his sword in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, compared with the people here, the number of soldiers on the surface is too small. Could it be that Ying was resentful of the King that day and hid him as a trap for his ministers and others?
?!"
"I don't think so." Ziying shook his head but felt strange, "Not only Wancheng, but also the number of soldiers and civilians in other important cities has been reduced by more than half. Yingbu will not make too big a fuss because of the four of them."
