When Yunchu's army entered Xixiang, it heralded that the Ziwu Road had been completed.
After walking the Ziwu Road, Yunchu evaluated the possibility of Wei Yan's famous strategy of using the Ziwu Road to raid Chang'an in the Three Kingdoms.
The answer is that Zhuge Liang is right.
Wei Yan is wrong.
Yunchu felt that the quality of the 53,000-strong army he commanded was higher than that of the Shu army during the Three Kingdoms period, whether it was equipment, supplies, or the quality of the soldiers was higher than that of the Shu Han army.
After the army under his command walked through the Ziwu Road, according to the assessment of various commanders, the combat strength was only less than 40%.
The Ziwu Road is rugged and mainly mountainous. During the march, you have to climb at least three main peaks of the Qinling Mountains. The long 840 mountain road is very unfriendly to mules and horses. The 6,000 horses carried by the 3,000 cavalrymen,
More than 300 horses were lost during the climb over the mountain.
The strategy of raiding Chang'an from Ziwu Road covers almost all the taboos of military strategists. It involves running long distances, facing a fortified city, and lightly armed infantry competing with cavalry on the plains... Although there are many advantages in small aspects, in the end, it is
Trail.
It can even be said that even if Chang'an is captured, it will be difficult to hold it.
Unless Meridian Road is widened into a two-way four-lane road, it will still be about the same.
After walking the Ziwu Road, if you want to go to Chengdu, you have to set foot on the Jinniu Road.
Most of the legends about the roads in Hanzhong and Shu are related to military affairs, and the Golden Bull Road is no exception.
It is said that during the Warring States Period, the Qin State wanted to conquer the Shu State, but the mountains were thousands of miles away and the roads were difficult. The King of Qin ordered people to make five stone cows and gave them to the King of Shu, lying that the stone cows could make a fortune worth of money.
The greedy King of Shu ordered five powerful men to open the road and welcomed the stone ox. After the road was built, what the King of Shu ushered in was not the stone ox that could make a lot of gold in the sun, but thousands of Qin's cavalry, so the Kingdom of Shu perished...
Yunchu felt that this story must have been fabricated by the old Qin people, just to prove how stupid the people of Shu were and how greedy the king was. There was no future for following such a stupid king, so it was better to hang out with the old Qin people.
However, after seeing the Prince of Fuling in Xixiang, Yunchu suddenly felt that whether it was the Western Trojan Horse Strategy or the Old Qin people's Stone Ox Strategy, there seemed to be a possibility of success.
Because, there are really very, very stupid kings in this world.
The most stupid king was undoubtedly Fuling King Min, who actually invited Yunchu to hunt with him at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains.
Just by hearing the word Huihui, you know that this thing is not a good thing.
Yun Chu took a serious look at Li Min who was sitting in the main seat of the tent and said, "Can you hunt?"
Li Min raised his glass and laughed and said: "I have no hobbies in my life. I am only very talented in hunting. I have defeated all the enemies in Shu. I have heard for a long time that the general is a rare and powerful general in our Tang Dynasty. I can't help but feel happy to see him hunt."
"
Hearing what Li Min said, Yun Chu loosened his clenched fists and said, "I thought the King of Fuling was going to start a war with me here in Xixiang."
Li Min stood up and looked at Yun Chu condescendingly and said: "I am of Taizong's bloodline. The reason why I like hunting is to lead troops on an expedition one day. Unfortunately, there has been no such good opportunity for decades.
Nowadays, the general's expedition to the southwest is nothing more than strangulating some savages in the high mountains. In the eyes of the lonely king, it is no different from hunting.
Therefore, the lonely king wants to go hunting with the general at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains to see how strong he is."
Yun Chu looked up at Li Min and couldn't help but admire in his heart.
I don’t know how Emperor Taizong gave birth to a child. As for the kings he had met, not to mention Li Zhi, who was over 1.9 meters tall. This guy was worthy of the evaluation of the sky and the sun, especially
When they stand together with Wu Mei, who is almost 1.8 meters tall, they really look like a pair of gods.
Handsome men, beautiful women, tall and cold, coupled with the sense of majesty that imperial power brings to them, it would be a pity for such people not to be Emperor Yunchu.
Although Cao Wangming is fat, if he loses 100 pounds, he will definitely be a handsome middle-aged man with good features.
Ji Wangshen is considered to be the most wretched-looking person, but he is also over 1.8 meters tall. When he picks up the carving knife and starts carving jade, he will definitely be a person who can cause thousands of girls to scream in future generations.
Emperor Taizong once said of Li Min: "Animals can be tamed after being trained; iron stones can be made into square utensils after being smelted and carved. But people like Li Min are worse than animals and iron stones."
Now when this guy who is worse than a beast stands in front of Yun Chu, even though he knows that he is not a thing, looking at this guy's handsome appearance, he feels that even if he is worse than a beast, those beasts should be inferior to beasts like peacocks and leopards.
If you use crows, wild boars, etc. to comment on Li Min, you are somewhat sorry for his appearance.
Zhang Donghai has been staring at Yun Chu, waiting for Yun Chu to explode.
Yun Chu did not explode, but instead smiled and said: "King Fuling is wrong. My purpose of marching into the southwest this time is not to kill a few ignorant savages, but for the long-term peace and stability of the southwest.
Therefore, if you know how to hunt, or if hunting is not conducive to our uniting the various parts of the southwest, let’s not talk about it.”
Li Min raised his wine glass and sighed: "Since the death of Duke Ying, the Tang Dynasty has no good generals to use."
Yun Chu still smiled and said: "Who in the world dares to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ying Gong?"
When Li Min saw that Yun Chu didn't argue with him, for some reason, his face, which had been so charming just now, immediately changed. He grabbed the riding crop on the desk and whipped a red-robed official hard on him.
When this person was introduced just now, I heard that he was the chief historian of the King of Fuling. When the whip came down, this fourth-grade chief historian actually chose to resist without saying a word. If the whip hadn't fallen on his back, causing his official robe to rupture and blood to leak out.
When he came out, Yunchu almost thought they were making a show.
After being whipped seven or eight times in succession, Li Min finally calmed down a little and said to Yun Chu: "Since the general is unwilling to hunt with me, how about we organize the army and let me have a look at it?"
Yun Chu was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Zhang Donghai. Seeing that the guy looked at his nose and looked at his nose without caring, he knew that Li Min, the king of Fuling, liked to bring up things that made things difficult for others.
Yun Chu waved his hand and said: "Everyone says that a glimpse of the leopard can be seen from the inside. Now that I am sitting here, the King of Fuling can take a closer look at me, and then he will know how powerful the military power of the Tang Dynasty is."
Yun Chu felt that he had lowered his profile and Li Min's subordinates could get rid of the matter with just a few words of advice. Unexpectedly, the subordinates of King Fuling, including the long history who was whipped just now, actually remained silent.
Watching King Fuling commit suicide.
Seeing Yun Chu's retreat, Li Min said even more proudly: "Now that the imperial army has long been decayed, I thought that the Tang Dynasty could wipe out all the savages in the southwest jungle by dispatching 8,000 soldiers and 50,000 civilians.
Unexpectedly, after more than two years and three years, not only did he not make any achievements, but he was killed by the barbarian Sheng Luopi, leaving him bloody and dead.
At the beginning of Yun Dynasty, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were not as good as each generation. As a member of the royal family, it is necessary for me to review this army to see if it has the ability to go to the southwest to fight the barbarians.
If there is, go ahead, but if you can't, the lonely king will write to the emperor, asking you to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, so as not to lose your master, humiliate the country, and poison the country of the Tang Dynasty. "
Yun Chu felt that he might have heard wrong, so he stood up and checked again: "Is the King of Fuling really going to parade?"
Perhaps it was because Yun Chu's face was not good-looking, Li Min said angrily: "Why, can't it be done?"
Yun Chu glanced at Zhang Donghai again with a smile on his face. After weighing it, he felt that he couldn't bear it, so he reached out and grabbed Li Min's neck.
Yun Chu's movements were extremely sharp, and he was obviously rushing to kill people. However, all the subordinate officials of King Fuling who were present still sat there with expressionless faces. Only Chang Shi, who had just been whipped, had a trace of joy in his eyes.
Li Min was not a waste. When he saw Yun Chu's hand coming over, the whip in his hand was whipped towards Yun Chu with a crackling sound. Yun Chu was very familiar with whips. The big hand that grabbed Li Min's neck was slightly raised half a foot, softly
The riding whip immediately coiled around Yun Chu's wrist like a green poisonous snake.
At the same time, Li Min's left fist had already hit Yun Chu's face.
Yun Chu dodged away, looked at Li Min and said, "Do you know what you are doing?"
Li Zhen's eyes were about to burst and he yelled: "That weakling Li Zhi ordered you to kill the lonely king. How could the lonely king not know that?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "So, you are deliberately looking for death, right?"
Li Min shouted: "The lonely king is of Taizong's blood. How can I live an ignoble existence? If you want to kill me, then come. If the lonely king frowns, he is not considered a descendant of Taizong."
Looking at Li Min's crazy face, Yun Chu smiled and said, "I will not kill Taizong's heirs."
After saying that, he raised his hand and pushed Li Min away and returned to his seat.
Zhang Donghai said in confusion: "Why?"
Yun Chu said: "Slaying dragons is addictive, so it's better not to set this precedent."
When Li Min saw that Yun Chu was ignoring him, he became furious, but he did not dare to provoke Yun Chu any more. He waved his riding crop and whipped his subordinates shamelessly.
Yun Chu picked up the wine glass and looked at Li Min with a smile as he went crazy, but Zhang Donghai became a little anxious. He stood up several times, but was frightened by Yun Chu's gaze and sat down again.
At the same time, everyone in the Chang'an army saw the strange scene, so they drank, talked and laughed like Yun Chu, as if they could not see the scene where King Fuling beat his subordinates.
"You stupid bitch, I usually tolerate you three points, but you don't care about my kindness. You just keep complaining to Li Zhi about my sins... I'll beat you to death today. Let's see who dares to stop...
…”
Li Min scolded him even more fiercely, and his men became more and more fierce. Seeing that Chang Shi was about to be beaten to death by Li Min, this guy didn't know where he got the courage. Suddenly he screamed strangely and hugged Li Min.
He threw him to the ground fiercely. Maybe he was really scared. He let out a series of roars like the whimpering of a wild dog, and bit Li Min's arm fiercely with his mouth.
Yun Chu raised his wine glass and turned back to his subordinates: "In the future, use your brain more when doing things. Look at the current scene. Either you will kill me or I will kill you. Any sloppiness will be rewarded."
The serious consequences are unbearable for them.”
The generals raised their glasses together and said, "The commander-in-chief is right."
After that, these generals cast their pity eyes on the subordinate officers of King Fuling who were beaten badly.
Another royal official in red robe screamed miserably, flew over, and firmly pressed the already turned over Prince of Fuling. The chopsticks he held in his hand had already pierced Li Min's eyes.
"Kill him..." A young official in green robe rushed forward.
"Kill him so that we can live." Another palace guard in black rushed forward...
Seeing that the tent could not be used, Yun Chu led his men to leave the bloody battlefield. Hearing the stunned screams of King Fuling, Yun Chu said to Zhang Donghai: "Don't do this kind of bad thing to me.
Take it."
