Chapter 226 Full of loopholes
"Why do you two come here? Let's just talk about it." Ziying didn't bother to beat around the bush, "But if you two make me give up attacking Bashu, then you won't have to talk."
Zhou Chang respectfully raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, King Qin, we and others...this trip is all for Pei's official business."
"That's good."
Ziying nodded and stretched out his hand to signal the two of them to enter the account.
In autumn and winter, a thin layer of ice formed on the Weishui River. As soon as the four of them entered the military tent, the cold air on their bodies instantly penetrated them, and they all shivered.
The two stood in the tent, facing Ziying who was sitting in the leadership position. Li Xin's eyes were like daggers, and he kept scanning the Zhou brothers.
"The cold tide in Bashu is probably even worse than in Guanzhong, right?" Ziying hinted.
"Exactly." Zhou Chang nodded and sighed, "In Bashu, all affairs are handled by Lu Pheasant and... Zhou Luhou. For those of us who are only loyal to Pei Gong, our positions are all occupied by... others."
"Not only that, according to Mr. Lu, Lu Pheasant also wanted to kill Pei Gong." Zhou Ke said sadly, "Pei Gong was already ill. Lu Pheasant only needed to use this as an excuse to kill him at any time."
Li Xin had a sarcastic look on his face, "For such a big thing, the military commanders didn't take any action at all? Zhou Bo, Cao Shen, and Xia Houying hold military power, how can they let a woman cause trouble in the country?"
"That's because the commander didn't know Zhou Luhou's method." Zhou Ke explained, "Zhou Luhou Lu Ze often fights with Pei Gong. He is the best at winning people's hearts and knowing people and manipulating them. Among the cavalry, there is a man named 'Guan Ying'
, he has long been interested in him, his abilities are extraordinary, he was arranged to be secretly promoted, and has become the commander of the cavalry. Now he is loyal to the Lu family, and has no regard for Pei Gong at all. "
"As for the infantry," Zhou Ke frowned and continued, "Lü Ze's brother Lu Shizhi seems to be harmless, but he secretly steals military talismans and diverts troops. Although Cao Shen and others were granted the title of marquis, they were promoted in name only.
He has no ability to support the king and the country."
Ziying had already guessed that this would be the case, but he still couldn't help but secretly lament that every dynasty has its own dilemmas that it can never solve, and it was a long-standing problem of the Liu dynasty that foreign relatives interfere in politics.
At first there was the Lu family, and later there were the Dou family, the Huo family, and the Wang family. Wang Mang, the nephew of the Wang family, split the Han Dynasty into two halves. In order to check and balance the relatives, the Eastern Han Dynasty strengthened the power of the eunuchs, which in turn created the "Ten Constant Attendants".
"In order to quell the disaster of Yin people, the famous Dong Zhuo was invited to the capital. As a result...
In the final analysis, the Han Dynasty died due to the interference of foreign relatives in politics.
"What do you plan to do to me?" Ziying asked.
"Back to the King of Qin, Bashu is going all out to attack Linjiang Kingdom. If this happens... Pei Gong will die." Zhou Chang said anxiously.
"But this matter will most likely be successful." Ziying said, "With the strength of Jiujiang alone, Linjiang can be invaded. Yingbu just didn't want to fight alone and attract sneak attacks from other countries, so he agreed to Lu Pheasant's conditions. Liu Bang
It’s probably gone.”
"We are also aware of this." Zhou Ke lowered his head and said, "So I want... to let the King of Qin attack Bashu quickly and restrain Lu Pheasant. In this way..."
"You are dreaming!!"
Ziying stood up suddenly and glared at the two of them. In later generations, the Wei State of the Three Kingdoms attacked Shu State, and they always used more than twice the force to defeat Shu State. Jiang Wei had more than 40,000 people, and Zhong Hui's 100,000 were defeated by the terrain.
There was nothing the others could do. Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty went up the Yangtze River, but did not fight when he encountered the enemy, and marched straight to Chengdu. It was also because of Li Shi's strategic mistake in dividing his troops that Huan Wen was almost shot into a sieve.
With Qin's current military strength, if he does not take advantage of Bashu to attack Linjiang, it can be said that there is no chance at all.
Ziying's chest heaved with anger, "The real purpose of the two of you is to let Da Qin attack quickly and severely damage his vitality, so that Lu Pheasant can concentrate on taking over Nanjun, right?!"
"King Qin, calm down!" Zhou Ke said anxiously, "We... also know that King Qin will not agree to this plan, so we have another plan."
Ziying no longer trusts the two of them. The situation in Bashu may be as the two said, but the purpose of this trip is unknown. Maybe it is to help Liu Bang. If the Lu family really has a way to bribe two die-hard people, send him
It is possible that the two of them came to deceive him.
"Say something quickly!" Ziying said angrily.
"We want the King of Qin to ask Lu Pheasant for Duke Pei, and lie that he has a grudge against Peigong and want to kill him." Zhou Chang said, "Lü Pheasant kills Peigong. No matter what, Lu Pheasant will bear the infamy.
If the King of Qin takes action, Lu Pheasant will definitely agree."
"After Pei Gong arrives at Qin safely, we will definitely work together to help Qin to repay King Qin's kindness. If King Shen Yang of Henan knew this, he would definitely follow Qin." Zhou Ke continued.
"Bullshit strategy." Ziying snorted coldly, "If Liu Bang died in Qin, Lu Fei could lie and claim that Liu Bang personally investigated the enemy's situation. She was only in power to temporarily manage Bashu on Liu Bang's behalf. But if I didn't kill her, Liu Bang would kill her.
If the disobedience is exposed, why should she agree?"
"That's because the King of Qin doesn't understand... Lu Pheasant's ambition." Zhou Chang said anxiously, "There are many deceptive poisons in Bashu, which can make Pei Gong lose consciousness... or cause him to die slowly. In this way, Lu Fei
Pheasant can rectify his name. Lu Pheasant still wants to seize the world, and he values reputation very much. The reason for attacking Linjiang Kingdom is... Shangzhu State and Ao will not avenge Mi Xin. Lu Pheasant certainly does not want to miss this opportunity to rectify his name. "
"Aren't you afraid that Liu Bang will really be poisoned to death?" Li Xin was very puzzled.
"Huang Shigong of Qi has an ability that no one in the world can match. He can definitely eliminate even small poisons. We have sent people to contact Huang Shigong. As long as Huang Shigong arrives in Qin, Pei Gong will have no worries." Zhou Ke explained.
"This... is quite dangerous." Li Xin was shocked.
Ziying smiled disdainfully. The words of these two people were full of loopholes. Not to mention that Shen Yang, the wallflower, had already followed the Western Wei Dynasty. How could a hermit who lived in the same area be able to cure the poison of Bashu?
"I think what you two said is reasonable." Ziying said with a sinister look on his face, "But if Lu Fei really wanted to kill Liu Bang, how did you two leave Chengdu safely and climb the plank road?! Of course, you two also
It can be said that Lu and Zhi are closely guarded. But you two are not afraid that I will really kill Liu Bang? Liu Bang’s current reputation is not very good, and he has no power. If I kill him, I will not worry about any consequences!"
"We did take risks and sneak out." Zhou Ke stood up and argued, "Whether or not to kill Pei Gong depends on the King of Qin. If Qin wants to grow stronger, it will not stick to the small grudges of the past, right?"
"I... I heard that King Changshan was in Qin. King Qin killed Pei Gong and broke with King Changshan. If he lets go of Pei Gong, he will no longer have to avoid the people of Bashu when he attacks Bashu... The people of Changshan will have the best of both worlds.
King Qin will not think wrong." Zhou Chang said.
Ziying was confused by these two people. It was indeed beneficial to him to save Liu Bang. However, the various strategies of the two were too forced and did not seem to be the work of Zhou Chang.
Is it possible that only dangerous moves can save Liu Bang? Wang Shenyang of Henan still loves Liu Bang and only surrendered to the Western Wei Dynasty in order to survive? Does Huang Shigong indeed have miraculous abilities?
Ziying held his head and thought for a long time, but he still couldn't accept the two people's explanations. If he were a suspicious king, he would have chopped them off long ago.
The rhetoric of saving Liu Bang is too forced. If the two of them followed Lu Pheasant...
What the two of them said was all in favor of Lu Pheasant. Liu Bang's death in the pass would prevent Zhang Er and others from helping Da Qin, which was extremely beneficial to Lu Pheasant. But those who would rather be cooked to death than those who care about Liu Bang,
Can you really change your mind easily?...
