Chapter 116: Uncertain River's Miracle
Xun Jin was stunned for a moment and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, please don't look down on me! The original Zhai State was founded by the Hu people, and the Jin State also destroyed the Zhongshan State founded by the Hu people. What about the little Xiongnu?"
"Built by a barbarian?!" Ziying was shocked, "If Bai Di were a barbarian, then the whole world would be barbarians."
Wei Liao opened his eyes with a look of disbelief on his face, "The Jin people also intermarried with the Di people back then. Are the knights slandering their ancestors?"
"Isn't Bai Di a barbarian?" Xun Jin's eyes widened, and his world view for many years was shattered.
"That's one of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor." Ziying said helplessly.
The names of the princes enfeoffed by Xiang Yu are related to the small states of the Spring and Autumn Period. The northern part of the Zhao State is the Dai State that was enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty, which was later annexed by Zhao Xiangzi. The northern part of the Qin State is the Zhai State founded by the Baidi people, known as the "Eighth Hero of the Warring States Period"
, Chong'er, the prince of Jin State, once fled to the ancient Zhai State.
The Di people were so powerful that the Jin State first intermarried with them and then destroyed them. After the Di people moved eastward, they established the famous Zhongshan State. The Jin State sent the general Le Yang, and Wu Qi, one of the four military sages, was destroyed again. The three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty.
, the Zhongshan Kingdom was restored, and the Zhao Kingdom was destroyed again. From then on, the Di people lived in various countries in the east and never set foot in the west again.
"This...even if they are not Hu people, it still shows that the Jin people had a way of attacking Zhai." Xun Jin forcefully explained.
Ziying waved his hand and said, "Send him out. Don't be on the battlefield and you can't tell whether you are a friend or an enemy."
Li Xin and Yang Chen hurriedly stepped forward and took Xun Jin into custody again.
"I have a plan, and the king must listen to it!" Xun Jin struggled.
"Senior Wei Liao is here again, what use is there for a kid like you? Let's go!" Li Xin scolded, pushing Xun Jin towards the door.
Xun Jin said anxiously, "The terrain of Zhai State is uneven, and most of it is deep mountains and old forests. Your Majesty will definitely fight the Huns soldiers at the handover and execution battle between Jiuyuan and Shangjun! That was the strategy of Zhao State back then."
"Are you sincerely willing to let me die?" Ziying was speechless. He wanted to find a dangerous place, but he dared to find a flat place.
The only flat land in Zhai State is the junction of Jiuyuan County and Shang County in the far north. Zhao State wanted to attack Zhai State of Qin and came up with two strategies.
The first is to raise troops from Jinyang and march westward to Lishi Fortress. However, the Qin State established Shangjun Fortress in the east. Pingzhou to the north, Yangzhou to the west, and Gaonu in the southwest served as horns to resist each other. Shangjun Fortress and Zhao
The country's Lishi Fortress faced each other across the Yellow River, and the westward strategy failed.
The second is to go directly south from Jiuyuan to Shangjun and attack Fushi, an important area in the north. For this plan, King Wuling of Zhao deliberately pretended to be an envoy of Zhao to explore the terrain of Qin.
Finally, Fushi was discovered, and Pingdu in the west and Yuanyang in the northeast came to help. At that time, the south of Henan was the territory of Yiqu State, and Zhao State had only one way to cross the Great Wall and cross the Wuding River Valley...
All plans failed and could not hinder Qin's eastward advance.
Ziying thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"I have found a strange and dangerous place!" Ziying said excitedly, "It's in the Wuding River Valley south of the Great Wall!"
"What is Wuding River?" Wei Liao frowned in confusion.
"It's Shuoshui, a tributary of the river." Ziying explained that in the Qin Dynasty, the name Wuding River was not yet known. Wuding River was located in the north, so it was named after the word "Shuo" which means "north".
"Shuoshui? Hahaha..." Wei Liao stroked his beard and smiled, "I am still old, and I didn't expect this place. Shuoshui is open in all directions, suitable for the Huns cavalry to fight, but the depth of Shuoshui valley is five feet, which is absolutely
A good place to set up an ambush!"
"But Shuoshui is far in the far north. Can Maodun allow us to reach there?" Yang Chen frowned.
"Yes." Ziying smiled and said, "How we conquered Dingyang City today, we can conquer there tomorrow. That arrogant guy in Maodun must want to show off his military prowess in an open area."
"So, does it mean that the king has adopted your strategy?" Xun Jin said proudly.
Ziying smiled and said, "It's just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse."
"I have other strategies, please explain them to the king in detail." Xun Jin struggled.
"There is no rush." Ziying said, "Mao Dun should let me drive northward, but this is not the case for King Yong Zhanghan. Mr. Xun should take my token and go west to the Kingdom of Yong to advise King Yong."
"Zhang Han? That traitor?!"
Li Xin let go and smiled and said, "You can think of it as a help to the king. Zhang Han has been in poor health recently. Mr. Xun can first help him hold the Great Wall to resist the Huns, and then let Zhang Han hand over Yongdi."
"If Mr. Xun can succeed, the official position I will give him will not be inferior to that of the Three Dukes." Ziying promised.
Li Xin and others had no intention of counting on Xun Jin. Xun Jin's strategy could help Zhang Han eliminate several wrong plans.
"Come over right now!" Xun Jin cupped his hands and said.
Ziying handed the jade scabbard to Xun Jin, "Zhang Han should have a cavalry commander named Yang Xi under Zhang Han. If possible, it is best to let him lead the troops."
"Who is Yang Xi? Is King Qin's secret agent ambushing Yongdi?" Wei Liao was confused by Ziying.
"I've just heard of his name. He is said to have some abilities." Ziying concealed it with a smile.
If Yang Xi defected to him, he would have collected three of the five members of Xiang Yu's group. In addition to Lu Matong, the spy Lu Sheng, and the dead Yang Wu, the only one left in Xiapi was Wang Yi, that guy
But I got Xiang Yu's head.
"I will definitely complete the mission! I guarantee that I will arrive at the Shuo Valley at the same time as the king!" Xun Jin took the scabbard and knelt down and said.
"Go over quickly."
"promise!"
After Xun Jin left, Ziying lowered his head and sat back next to Xu Lianti, thinking deeply for a while.
"The plan has been deployed, what is the king still worried about?" Xu Lianti asked.
"I said that if Xun and Jin moved eastward to Korea, they would become a prominent family. Do you believe me, madam?" Ziying said with a smile.
"He?" Xu Lianti shook her head in doubt, "Are you afraid that he will be exterminated by the princes?"
"The Xun family in Yingchuan is a powerful family, and they are even married to the emperor," Ziying said.
Li Xin, Yang Chen, and Wei Liao didn't understand what Ziying meant, and they all thought he was teasing the palace people for fun. The land of Han was in chaos, and Xun Jin had no reason to go.
"Your Majesty, don't trust that man gullibly. With his help, Zhang Han will be lucky if he doesn't retreat to Hanzhong." Li Xin said bluntly.
"Forget it, let's forget about him." Ziying stood up and walked towards the door. Now he sent someone to inform the disciples that the main business was to bribe Lian Zhi.
As soon as Ziying opened the door, the messenger holding a halberd ran in in panic.
