Zhang Liang was not angry when Lu Goujian sprayed saliva on his face. After wiping his face, he stopped at the door.

Lu Goujian drew his sword and pointed it at him, just as he had scolded Jing Ke angrily, and scolded: "You son, get out of the way!"

Zhang Liang refused, saying: "I personally saw Mr. Gao singing while building a building in Song Zicheng, and was arrested resolutely. Later, when I heard that his assassination failed and he was torn apart by a chariot in Xianyang, I and Lu Daxia heard that Jing Qing failed to assassinate Qin.

The mood is the same, I wish I could replace it with my own body!"

"Although Jing Qing is dead, he made the tyrant dazzled for a long time, and he is a role model for us!"

"Although Mr. Gao is dead, the words he shouted are enough to make people all over the world imitate him."

This was a secret matter, but Lu Goujian didn't know. He was stunned: "What are you talking about?"

Zhang Liang also recently learned about it from someone who was hiding in the Xianyang court to provide information to anti-Qin people, so he said word for word: "Mr. Gao angrily denounced the tyrant: The days are mourning, and I am

You will all perish!"

It is said that this was a curse issued by the Xia people who hated Xia Jie, who claimed to be the sun, and vowed not to coexist with him. When Shang Tang attacked Xia Jie, he also wrote this sentence into his oath...

After Lu Goujian understood this sentence, he put down the sword in his hand, recited this sentence silently, and sighed several times.

This sentence can be said to shout out the aspirations of the people who restored the country. Their relatives and friends died at the hands of the Qin army, their heads were beheaded, and their families were destroyed. The Qin Dynasty's posture of driving away the light knights also made both sides

There is no possibility of reconciliation.

Seeing that Lu Goujian had calmed down a little, Zhang Liang said again: "Although the assassination of Qin and the restoration of the country must continue, there must be time."

"After Mr. Gao's defeat, Zhao Zheng became more and more suspicious. He stayed away from the princes and his whereabouts became more unpredictable. Not even the prime minister or the imperial censor could know his itinerary in advance. It was not until the day of departure that he would be informed by the servants.

, the CRRC government informed the accompanying officials. But where they will stay the next day and which way they will take are still unknown..."

Under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult to ambush and assassinate in advance. What's more, now that Qin Shihuang's chariot has made a note, Lu Goujian's mind is hot, and he leads the anti-Qin people from Zhao who have finally hidden them from Julu to kill them.

I'm afraid that if I can't even cross the Taihang Mountains, I will be captured by the Qin officials in the county!

Therefore, Zhang Liang earnestly advised Lu Goujian: "If you die to assassinate the tyrant and to relieve the world from hanging, then that's it. If you die at the hands of local officials, wouldn't it be unjust? At that time, what revenge and what?

Restoring the country has become a joke!"

Lu Goujian also knew that even if he took his guests all the way there, let alone assassinating him, he might not even be able to find Qin Shihuang's chariot. He couldn't help but feel discouraged: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Liang answered him with a sentence from "Yi".

"A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and waits for the time to move. What's the disadvantage?"

…

"You can't conspire with Shu Zi."

When he walked out of Lu Goujian's courtyard, Zhang Liang sighed helplessly and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

It has been eleven years since South Korea was destroyed, and it has been eleven years since his own brother was killed by the Qin people.

Seven years have passed since the rebellion of the old Korean nobles failed and he left Xinzheng.

In seven years, Zhang Liang traveled between Han, Liang, Chen and Qi, watching helplessly as Wei, Yan, Chu and Qi perished one by one, but he could do nothing. When he was at his lowest, he had to do what Confucius said back then,

"If the way is not good enough, I will ride on a boat and float on the sea." He boarded a boat and traveled far, and went to the land of Hui in the East China Sea to seek refuge with Lord Canghai.

But Zhang Liang did not give up after all. He came back. He linked up with Zhang Er and Chen Yu from Huaiyang in the south and Zelu Goujian from the north. He wanted to build an anti-Qin network across the six kingdoms. The main goal was still to assassinate Qin Shihuang.

, to achieve the purpose of beheading his head and causing Qin to be in chaos without fighting.

However, after two years of wasted time, the sable fur was gone, the gold was gone, and he didn't even have the chance to see Qin Shihuang's chariot. This time, he heard that Confucian scholars and alchemists tried their best to encourage Qin Shihuang to tour east. He thought it was an opportunity, but unexpectedly,

However, Qin Shihuang turned back and headed north...

Zhang Liang could only return without success again.

This is nothing, but after this planning, he found that most of the so-called "heroes" of Yan and Zhao wanted to rebel against Qin and assassinate Qin in a hurry, but they did not have any careful plan. If they cooperated with them, the possibility of success was very low.

, once the matter is exposed, it may be brought to light.

"It seems that if I want to succeed, I still have to do it alone."

With this in mind, Zhang Liang arrived outside the courtyard of Lu Goujian's house.

In the courtyard, the Yanzhao righteous men recruited by Lu Goujian were eating, but at this moment, they all put down their bowls and chopsticks, and stared dumbfounded at a strong man sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a Tao Li while eating...

The strong man had a big appetite and an ugly appearance. He carried a large iron vertebra under his right arm, which weighed an estimated forty or fifty kilograms. Even when he was eating or bowing his hands in salute, he would not put it down for a moment. The handle on the big iron vertebra was

The iron chains are folded around it. If they were all released, they would be more than ten feet long!

This strong man came with Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang spent a lot of money to build the iron spine for him. People from Yan and Zhao asked curiously, but he rarely talked to everyone, and his words were like barbarian birds.

But the Yanzhao martyrs did not dare to offend him, because on the first day they came, they saw this man smashing a continental swamp bison to death with one vertebra! The owner Lu Goujian was once competitive and wanted to test his strength with him, but the two

He took off his shirt, but was knocked to the ground in three rounds!

The other guests from Yan and Zhao competed with him, and no one was his enemy.

None of them knew where Zhang Liang found such a person. They asked him where his hometown was and what his name was, but they didn't answer...

So everyone could only give him a nickname as a nickname, but he liked it very much, and in the end even Zhang Liang called him that.

"You are born a strange person, and you must be useful!"

Zhang Liang secretly thought, with a smile on his face, he walked over and called to Lux:

"Big Tiezhu, let's go!"

…

It was wise for Lu Goujian to give up the assassination operation, because before they set off from Julu County, Qin Shihuang's chariot had already climbed over Shangjuzhu Mountain and arrived at Yanmen Pass...

Standing at the small but dangerous Yanmen Gate, looking to the west at Gouzhu Mountain, which is the "God of Heaven", and to the east at the towering peaks of Mount Moji, which look like sharp hairpins, Qin Shihuang couldn't help but wonder how steep this place was, and asked Li Sidao: "Tingwei,

I remember that you also participated in the compilation of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" back then?"

Li Si's heart trembled when he heard this. He sacrificed his life for Lu Buwei and killed Han Fei. These were two experiences that he had always tried to avoid, but at this moment, he could only bite the bullet and agree.

Fortunately, the emperor did not deliberately embarrass him. He just said: "I especially remember that there is an article "You Beginning" in it, which talks about the nine fortresses in the world. Which nine fortresses are they?"

Li Si didn't lose his skills, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, they are Dafen, Ming'e, Jingruan, Fangcheng, Weihan, Jingxing, Lingzhen, Juzhu, and Juyong. Among them, the sentence annotation is pointing to

This is Yanmen Pass!"

Yanmen, Yanmen, it is said that every spring, geese fly from the south to the north, carrying reed leaves in their mouths, flying to Yanmen and circling for a long time, until the leaves fall before they can pass. Therefore, there is a saying that "the wild geese fly out of Yanmen Mountain". This is

It is the choke point from Taiyuan to Daibei.

After Qin unified the world, he began a rumbling movement of fortresses and beams, destroying many river defense obstacles artificially set up by the Six Kingdoms in the Central Plains, such as Fangcheng Fortress and Ming'e Fortress. Although it was difficult to dismantle them for a while, they were all

Already in a semi-abandoned state.

However, Yanmen Pass, as an important border town, not only did not become abandoned, but with the imperial court's "Order to Guard the Border and Tunnel Fields", a lot of new blood was added, and many Central Plains families were moved here one after another.

On the order of Qin Shihuang, Meng Tian, ​​who was in charge of the military affairs of Yanmen, Yunzhong and Daijun, learned that the holy driver had arrived, and hurriedly came to greet him and met Qin Shihuang at the northern foot of Juzhu Mountain.

Qin Shihuang was much more tolerant to Meng Tian than he was to Li Xin, and asked him to board the carriage and report in detail.

"Yanmen County was originally the land of Loufan, and there is still a county named Loufan. It was more than a hundred years ago that King Wuling of Zhao defeated Loufan after riding and shooting in Hufu, and Yanmen County was established there. Half of the people in Loufan were

They moved west to Henan, and half of them stayed where they were, surrendered to Zhao, and became Zhao's Huqi, helping them conquer Zhongshan..."

Loufan Cavalry, this is the Zhao Guoqiang Cavalry that brought great pressure to Qin's superior counties decades ago. Qin Shihuang also heard about it. Now, this powerful armed force has been absorbed by the Qin Dynasty...

There are many barbarians in Yanmen County, and they are invaded several times. Therefore, the people are cautious and good-tempered. They often work as traitors and do not engage in agriculture and business. Moreover, the people are unevenly distributed and extremely fierce. Although they have the characteristics of Zhao County, they also have their own characteristics.

characteristics.

For example, their loyalty to the State of Zhao is far less than that of Handan and Julu. Among them, Lou Fanren is a mother who has breasts and only loyal to the strong and rich. Back then, Qin and Zhao fought fiercely in Yunzhong and Yanmen.

Lou Fanren often had a tribe defect to both countries and act as mercenaries.

Historically, even in the Chu-Han War, there were a large number of Loufan mercenaries in the armies of both Chu and Han...

Qin Shihuang looked out of the car and noted that it was summer and the flowers were blooming at the northern foot of the city. Even the sky looked exceptionally high and clear in this season, with green grass and white clouds swaying like waves in the long wind.

Similar flocks of sheep are flowing on the grassy slopes, which is refreshing and refreshing. Like Beidi County, this place is also half farming and half pastoral.

The emperor's motorcade was driving in this scenery, and on both sides of the tightly guarded guards, there were also some Hu people wearing Qingqiu, wearing Hu uniforms and carrying bows and arrows, accompanying them with brisk hooves. This is the world-famous "Lou".

Annoying cavalry".

"Heifu is recruiting the army cavalry in the north, Li Xin is recruiting the Qiang cavalry in Longxi, Feng Jie is recruiting the Bai Zhai cavalry in Shangjun, and you are here to collect the Loufan cavalry."

Qin Shihuang shook his head: "Do the four generals from the four places have the same purpose but the same approach?"

There is nothing we can do about this. The war is about to start, and the population of the border counties is not large. It is impossible to use only Qin people. It is inevitable to use Rongdi people who are familiar with the terrain of riding and shooting.

However, out of the idea that "those who are not from our race must have different minds", Qin Shihuang also felt that it was not a good thing to rely too much on the Rong, Di and cavalry in this war.

In contrast, Qin Shihuang was more appreciative of Heifu's proposal to "use Rong Di as hunting dogs and the good men of the north as hunting bows" based on this.

The Kansai Ryokaiko are the most trustworthy group in the government. Using them as the core to rebuild elite cavalry equipped with high saddles and stirrups is a good choice...

While talking, Loufan County arrived. Outside the small county, local officials, residents, and a group of immigrants from the mainland who had just arrived were kneeling to welcome the emperor.

…

When Qin Shihuang's car passed by, Ban Yi, a Chu man, knelt behind the crowd, not daring to express his anger.

He was originally a herdsman in Fulisai, Sishui County. The ancient plain of Fulisai is the source of the poem "The grass grows in Liliyuan, and it withers and grows every year." There is plenty of grass and strong livestock, so Ban's family has been raising animals for generations.
