Chapter 126 Forty to One
In Qin Man's opinion, Liu Kan's decision was obviously unreasonable.
In any case, Xu City is now holding the title of doing things for the First Emperor. You are an official from the Qin Dynasty and a grassroots official, and you actually want to help others deal with the court? If you spread it, wouldn’t it be a serious crime to implicate the nine clans and kill the whole family? Don’t you want to survive?
But in Zhonglimei's view, Liu Kan is now in another way.
He turned over and knelt in front of Liu Kan, and said in tears: "Brother Kan, you have this kind of heart and I am grateful to you. But you shouldn't be involved. This matter has nothing to do with you, and I will try to solve it. If I can come back alive, I will definitely drink and talk to my brother Kan.
Brother Kan, you at least let me understand one thing. The old Qin people... are not as cruel and vicious as the rumor says."
The name has been changed between words.
Earlier, Zhongli Mei called Liu Kan the "Cang Ling" and there was a vague meaning of keeping people away from thousands of miles away. But now, he called Liu Kan the "brother". The meaning of the word "brother" that was born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the 500th year of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was definitely not understood by Liu Kan from later generations.
Jing Ke assassinated Qin, Gao Jianli, and Che Ning regretted it for the rest of his life.
Even though I knew it was a dead end, I resolutely embarked on the same path eight years later.
This is love, this is righteousness... Everything comes from the word "brother". At this time, the "brothers" in the people's mouths are far from being comparable to the "brothers" who "suck two brothers" in later generations. This is a kind of recognition, just like what Tang Li said to Liu Kan: One day, one life brother.
Liu Kan helped Zhong Limei up, "Brother Mei, don't say anything more! I have decided..."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Qin Man quietly.
Qin Man also stood up and looked at Liu Kan quietly.
"If something happens to me, please ask Miss Man to take my mother to Ba County. My property is included in the Qin family as well. Please agree."
Liu Kan bowed to the ground.
Qin Man could not understand, and Zhonglimei could not understand.
Why did Liu Kan do this so resolutely? In fact, there was another idea in Liu Kan's heart: If Xu Fu had not gone to sea today, two thousand years later, would there be Japanese pirates rampant? Some people say that the three thousand boys and women taken away by Xu Fu were the ancestors of the Japanese.
Liu Kan didn't know if this was true, but if it was true, wouldn't it end?
Everyone has different persistences in their hearts. Liu Kan, who came from a military family in his previous life, also has his own persistence.
Sometimes, it is not a rational and irrational thing, but something that should be done. Qin Man doesn’t understand why Liu Kan is so persistent. However, in her opinion, the decision Liu Kan made today is worthy of the word “brother” he mentioned. Where is the meaning, where is the righteousness!
"Don't worry, if something happens to Krakage really, Krakage's mother is Man's mother; Krakage's wife is Man's sister."
Liu Kan nodded and took Zhong Limei's hand to walk out of the house.
"Crakura Ring, wait!"
Qin Man hesitated for a moment and suddenly called Liu Kan again. She walked to Liu Kan, attached herself to his ear, and blew like an orchid, "Cang Ling, can you tell me where the Qin army is going?"
Liu Kan was stunned and shook her head.
"As far as Man knows, Xu City is now... in the salt warehouse."
"Salt silo?"
Qin Man whispered: "Yancang City is the capital of Ganyu and the hometown of Xu City. Although Man didn't know where the Qin army was going, he thought he would definitely go to Yancang to meet up first. According to Man's speculation, Yilu's affairs were by no means accidental. I'm afraid that it would be done by Xu City's order... Moreover, it would never be stopped in Yilu, but I'm afraid that this would happen in Yilu's place along Mushui, in the Yishui area where the government could not take care of it. After all, what Xu City is doing now is a disaster. I'm afraid he would not dare to act too blatantly.
So, if it was really what he did.
There must be careful plans, so his appearance in the salt warehouse will be extraordinary.
He would first meet in the salt warehouse, and then take his people straight to Langyatai. If Cang Ling wants to rescue those boys, he might as well pursue them in Ganyu."
After saying that, Qin Man glanced at the bow and arrow on Zhong Limei's body.
Carry up the curtain, "Qin Zhou!"
"There's a humble person."
"Go and choose twenty pairs of crossbows and let them... change their weapons."
Zhonglimei's bow is a hunting bow made by himself. Compared with military crossbows, it is naturally not on the same level.
"My, thank you Miss Sheman."
Zhong Limei bowed to Qin Man to the ground, and thousands of words were beyond the silence he had today.
Liu Kan kept Wang Xin and Lu Shizhi, and let them cry, but Liu Kan was very determined.
On the other side, Qin Man led dozens of war horses over, "Cang Ling, Man will try to stay here for ten days and wait for Cang Ling to come back."
Liu Kan nodded and bowed to Qin Man goodbye.
He and Zhonglimei beat horses and whipped, and rushed out of the camp...
At this time, the clerk sent by the county magistrate of Donghai County came over with a confused look on his face, "Miss Man, where is Cang Ling going?"
A cold light flashed in Qin Man's eyes, and his pink face was as delicate as a peach blossom.
"Oh, Liu Cangling will deal with some small matters. You don't need to worry, just go back and rest."
The clerk said oh and turned around and wanted to leave.
But Qin Man winked at the minister, and the retainer took a step forward, hooked the clerk's neck, and exerted force with both hands.
Gaba!
The clerk died before he even had time to make a sound.
"When I returned to Sichuan, I sent someone to tell the Donghai County Magistrate, and said that this person... was very clever, and I was very satisfied and prepared to stay under my command."
Liu Kan and others beat horses and whipped, galloping in the night.
I believe that the Qin army will not be too fast. After all, how could it be possible to walk quickly with a group of children?
In this way, I chased after me all night long.
At dawn, I finally saw a team of Qin troops walking along the official road and entering Yancang City in the morning light.
Zhongli paused his feet in abhorrent manner, "Only one step away, only one step away!"
It is indeed only one step away. The robbery and killing the Qin army outside the city and entering the salt warehouse are undoubtedly two different concepts.
Liu Kan urged him to get up the hillside, look down from a bird's eye view of the salt warehouse.
The salt warehouse is surrounded by mountains and seas, and is known for its "enjoy the fertility of mountains and rivers and gain the benefits of salt and fishing."
"Zhongli!" Liu Kan suddenly spoke, "Send someone to try to go in and find out the situation in Yancang City, and then let's find a way."
Zhonglimei was stunned and looked shocked.
"Brother Kan, don't you want to attack the salt warehouse."
"Go and inquire first, then talk about the others."
After Liu Kan finished speaking, he jumped off his horse and crawled into the woods. He took out a map from his arms and stopped talking.
This night was enough for him to change from helping to dominant position. Zhonglimei responded and sent two people down the mountain to mingle into Yancang City.
He came to Liu Kan and whispered: "Brother Kan, it's not that I'm saying a disheartening word. Yancang City was destined to be Yancang City because it was a warehouse for the three counties of salt. Half of the salt used in the East China Sea, Langya and Xue County were stored here, and the guards were extremely strict. It is impossible for us twenty or thirty people to break through the warehouse... Moreover, if we attack the city, things will be a big deal!"
"Then do you want to watch them take the kids away?"
Liu Kan looked up and smiled, "There is nothing in this world that cannot be done. It only depends on whether you are willing to take care of yourself... Look, the information given to me by Miss Man is very clear. Xu City's first and second trip to sea were all here. But it is obvious that he failed the first two trips to sea. But the third time was at Langyatai... That time it was said that he went relatively far, but ultimately failed.
Xushi is a alchemist, and he should know that what he does will harm the world.
Therefore, after his first two failures, he will definitely not go to Ganyu again, but will go out from Langyatai.
You have also said this. The Qin army said that they would go to Langyatai. Since that is the case, Xushi and the others will definitely leave the salt warehouse."
"you mean……"
"Attacking the salt warehouse is obviously not a good idea. Even if we can succeed, the impact caused is probably not something we can estimate.
So we can only start on the way!
The key problem now is to figure out how many soldiers there are in the salt warehouse and how many people will Xushi use to escort the children.
As long as we figure this out, we will have a chance. Brother Absolutely, from now on, you need to pray that we will win a great victory.”
Zhong Limei looked at Liu Kan in surprise and nodded slightly.
It was around noon that the person who came to the city to inquire about the news came back.
"There are 2,300 Qin troops in the Yancang, but they are all New Qin troops... Among them, there are about 2,000 people stationed in the Yancang, and the other 300 are the guards brought by Xu City. I heard that these Qin troops brought back many children in the past or two days, about four or five hundred.
I asked someone in the salt warehouse. Xu Shi mainly came back to worship his ancestors. I guess it would take only one or two days to leave."
Liu Kan and Zhong Limei began to plot.
Four or five hundred boys, three hundred guards?
"Brother Kan, it seems difficult to deal with." Zhong Limei smiled bitterly, "Even if these Qin troops are not your old Qin troops, we have no chance of winning in fifteen to one."
"Fifteen to one?"
Liu Kan sneered, "I think you'd better forget it. Xu Shi is not a fool. Since he did such a thing, how can he be without precautions?
In my opinion, he would also seconded troops from the salt warehouse and escort them together.
There are 2,000 local troops in Yancang, so if you calculate it, you can at most 500 troops in Xu City.
Huh... Brother Wei, you should calculate it based on 800 people. In other words, forty to one is an accurate number."
"Forty to one?"
Not only Zhonglimei, but almost everyone showed despair.
