Chapter 149 Why do you value that boy Zhang Liang?
Not bamboo slips.
Zhang Liang took a closer look and his hands trembled.
His thoughts had been on Ying Chengyu, gambling, and the Lu Chamber of Commerce. Zhang Liang discovered this after Ying Chengyu reminded him.
The object in the hand is as thin as a cicada's wing, and is as light as nothing when held in the hand. The surface is slightly rough, with some scratches, and is yellowish white in color.
The ink mark is clearly visible on it, it is about one foot long and wide, and the recorded information is equivalent to more than ten bamboo slips.
At that time, most of the records used were bamboo slips, and a small number of them used various special animal skins, such as the famous sheepskin scrolls.
A piece of paper that far surpassed the bamboo slips in terms of recording, weight, and portability appeared in front of Zhang Liang, which shocked Zhang Liang immensely.
Zhang Liang concentrated.
When he opened his eyes and saw Han Fei at the Chang'an Jun's Mansion, he only thought about being happy to see each other and how to persuade Han Fei to reestablish Korea.
Recalling the scene carefully at this time, Zhang Liangcai discovered that Han Fei was using a brush to write and draw on this object called paper.
If there is only a piece of paper, no matter how valuable it is, it will not be within the scope of Zhang Liang's thinking.
The scarcity of the quantity means that it cannot be widely used. For example, the He's Bi is the only one in the world, but it can only be used as an icing on the cake. The He's Bi in the State of Zhao cannot save the country from destruction.
But as far as Zhang Liang could see, there was definitely a lot of paper on Han Fei's desk, which meant that the paper could probably be mass-produced and put into use.
The meaning is completely different.
Zhang Liang was still thinking before, so he rode hard all the way and outran two fast horses. Without any delay, he finally arrived at Xinzheng.
Looking at the face of the man in front of me, there is nothing amorous about him, nor does he appear to be in a hurry after a long journey.
If the man in front of him had not traveled a long distance like him, then how could he have received the message from Ying Chengyu and specially waited for Zhang Liang in Xinzheng.
Now that Zhang Liangming has understood, his face is extremely solemn.
"Birds."
The man didn't want to hide anything and simply nodded.
"Master Zhang galloped all the way. The only thing faster than an animal is a bird."
Trouble...
Zhang Liang's heart really sank this time.
The speed of information transmission has always been a top priority.
The reason why Zhang Liang rushed to Xinzheng in a hurry is because Xinzheng is the core area of the Zhang family, and only in Xinzheng can the Zhang family have the conditions to send information to all major cities in South Korea.
It is easy to understand that Xinzheng is the host, other cities in South Korea are extensions, and the host controls all other extensions.
There was a problem with the upper party in Han Dynasty, and the news was sent back to Xinzheng. Zhang Liang analyzed and dealt with it, and then passed the solution to the upper party.
How to transmit information? In this era, the transmission method is very simple, fast horse.
As the Zhang family currently secretly controls Han Dynasty, and Zhang Liang is located in Xinzheng, Zhang Liang has already taken advantage of the favorable location and people in this gambling battle.
The ancients said.
The right time, right place, and right people.
All three are unreasonable.
In Zhang Liang's opinion, there was no reason for Ying Chengyu to fail unless he used the opportunity, such as the Qin army and Han Fei's identity.
Ying Chengyu first said that he would not use weapons, and then said that Han Fei would not be allowed to participate. There was no way that Zhang Liang would lose in this bet.
But now, Zhang Liang was a little panicked.
Because the geographical advantage is no longer on his side.
When Zhang Liang mentioned paper, he immediately thought of the flying pigeon letter that should not appear in this era.
A fast horse runs on the land, and there are terrain restrictions. Not only can it not run in a straight line, but it will also experience obstacles such as climbing hills and muddy roads.
But flying birds are different.
In this era, the sky is smooth and it is an undeveloped land.
Tie the letter paper to the leg of a tamed bird, and the bird can reach a place that takes three days to gallop in one day.
How to play this?
For example, several nobles appeared in Shangdang and defected to Qin to help Qin govern Shangdang. The other nobles were secretly resisting these nobles, and Zhang Liang needed to provide a solution immediately.
One day after Kuai Ma left Shangdang, Feiniao had already delivered the news.
Don't think that there was no way to tame birds in that era. The emergence of poultry means that humans have been able to tame birds.
When the two armies confront each other, Ying Chengyu can always get the information one step ahead of Zhang Liang.
It's like playing a game.
The network delay is 15 on one side and 150 on the other.
Even if the former's operation is not as good as the latter's, the balance of victory will still tilt towards the former.
This gambling battle hasn't even started yet, really look at the back of the paper with your heart.
Zhang Liang lost his determination to win.
The reason why Zhang Liang can still keep his facial expression unchanged now is that he can keep his composure.
One is because Ying Chengyu is in Xianyang and not in Han Dynasty.
The flying bird flying from Han to Xianyang should take about the same time as the fast horse flying from other cities in Han to Xinzheng.
If Ying Chengyu appeared in Xinzheng, Zhang Liang would definitely be twice as panicked now.
The second reason is because Zhang Liang is confident.
The Zhang family was prime minister of Han Dynasty for five generations.
Zhang Liang's father Zhang Kaidi served as the Korean Prime Minister for three years, and his father Zhang Ping also served as the Korean Prime Minister for five generations.
Zhang Mengtan, the ancestor of the Zhang family, was the first prime minister in Korea. The Zhang family has been one of the largest aristocrats in Korea since its establishment.
With such a distinguished family background, Zhang Liang's education since childhood was no less than that of Korean princes. Zhang Liang had long been famous in Korea when he was a child, and was regarded as proud by his elder father, Zhang Ping.
In Korea, where the art of martial arts is prevalent, Zhang Liangneng was so valued by the two prime ministers, so his strategy was the best choice.
As far as strategy is concerned, Zhang Liang is confident that he can defeat everyone in the world.
The third reason is because people and people have not been lost.
The Zhang family has too much influence in Korea, and the Zhang family leads all the old Korean aristocrats.
Zhang Liang had many thoughts at the time.
He stood there silently.
The man raised his hands when he saw this.
"Mr. Zhang, if there are no other important matters, I will leave first."
Zhang Liang laughed.
"You appeared in front of me, and you know a lot. You should be the leader installed by Ying Chengyu in Xinzheng. Why do you think I will let you go?"
Zhang Liang wants to get more information from the man.
For example, how paper is made, how much there is, the leader of the Lu Chamber of Commerce in Ying Chengxuan, who are the man's accomplices hiding in Xinzheng, etc...
He would not let the man leave just like that.
"Master Zhang seems to have forgotten that this world belongs to the State of Qin, and Xinzheng is also the Xinzheng of the State of Qin."
The man put his fingers into his mouth and whistled loudly.
Tap tap tap~
Ten soldiers stationed in the Qin Kingdom in Xinzheng, holding bronze long swords, ran from a hundred paces away and surrounded the three people in a circle.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The man patted down his clothes and said with a smile: "Young Master has prepared a nickname for Young Master Zhang, Wise Man. There are not many young masters who have such honors."
Mr. Zhang is here before he arrives. I really envy you. Goodbye."
The man led ten Qin army soldiers away without any defense.
Sledgehammer was breathing heavily and was about to take a step forward when he was stopped by Zhang Liang.
"There are only ten people here, they can't defeat me!"
"These are not ten people, these are ten Qin troops."
"So what, the Ten Qin Army can't defeat me!"
"Today you openly confront ten Qin troops, and one day one hundred thousand Qin troops will crush Xinzheng."
Zhang Liang waved his hand, and five or six people dressed as ordinary people emerged from the crowd of onlookers, who placed the horses that had been beaten to death with a big hammer on wooden utensils and dragged them away.
"These are the Zhang family. Did they listen to what we just said?"
"I think that's it. The man who just led a group of Qin troops left, and his official position is not small. Is the King of Qin going to send someone to manage Xinzheng?"
"It's up to you to take care of it. It's not a living thing under whoever rules it. It doesn't matter who is the King of Han, the Zhang family or the King of Qin. No matter how hard they fight, they can't win over us."
"This is true. Even if the Qin army enters Xinzheng, the unlucky ones will only be the Zhang family."
"Don't talk nonsense. Do you know if there are any Zhang family members among this crowd? The Zhang family cannot resist the Qin army. Killing you is not much harder than killing a chicken."
"..."
The people watching chatted and dispersed, most of them not paying attention to the dispute between Qin Jun and Zhang Liang that appeared in front of them.
Zhang Liang led the horse and the sledgehammer, heading towards the Zhang Mansion.
His expression was as usual, but the panic in his heart was much more. He had been thinking about a question.
The man Ying Chengyu stayed in Xinzheng was able to mobilize the Qin army stationed in Xinzheng.
Can the people Ying Chengyu left in other cities in Han Dynasty mobilize the local Qin army?
If possible.
So Renhe is not exclusive to Zhang Liang.
…
Chang'an Junfu.
"Uncle Lu!"
By the pond.
Lu Buwei looked helpless.
Ying Chengyu hugged Lu Buwei's body and shook and cried. The fishing rod swayed in Lu Buwei's hand and the fish floated in the water.
Sound and tears are called crying.
A howl without tears is called a howl.
Silent tears are called weeping.
Ying Chenglong is just howling.
"Uncle Lu, that Zhang Liang is too much of a bully. He said that you, Lu Buwei, are just mediocre and that your writing of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" is nonsense. Uncle Lu, it's okay if he doesn't look down on me. He doesn't even look down on you.
.”
"Even if you don't want to be acquainted with him, the "Lu Spring and Autumn Annals" that you worked so hard to compile, and every word of it is so slandered by him. This is just sitting on your head and shitting, I can't bear it anymore!"
Lu Buwei helped Ying Chengxuan straighten up.
"Say what you say and don't touch me. It scared away all my fish that I could have caught."
Ying Chengyu grabbed the fishing line and pulled hard.
The silver needle drew an arc in the air, scattering some water drops, and was held by Ying Chengyu in his hand.
"Uncle Lu, you use this to fish. It's too much to blame me for scaring away the fish and making it impossible for you to catch them."
Lu Buwei took the silver needle back from Ying Chengyu's hand, swung the fishing rod, and threw the silver needle back into the pool.
"I rebelled and helped you become the King of Qin. It's okay if you don't help. But you still use the armored door I helped you train to attack me. Isn't this too much?"
"But I don't want to be the King of Qin. Look, Brother Huang, isn't he doing a good job? Why are you just staring at me?"
Old God Lu Buwei will say no more, and those who continue to wish will take the bait.
He and Ying Chengyu had said similar words countless times, and they really didn't want to waste any more time.
"Uncle Lu, you see that Uncle Meng has regained his second youth. He went to the frontier to fight the Huns. How can you live here with me for your old age?"
Ying Chenglong shook wildly again, which made Lu Buwei feel dizzy.
There is no way to fish in this situation.
Lu Buwei simply threw the fishing rod away and lay on his back on the soft couch with fine stitching under him, closing his eyes and basking in the sun. He really looked like an old man in his seventies who loved the warm sun.
Shake it, I won’t fish anymore.
Ying Chengyu didn't move, he sighed deeply and started to leave.
"Why do you value that boy named Zhang Liang so highly?"
Lu Buwei closed his eyes and said that he knew that Ying Chengyu and Zhang Liang had a gambling fight.
