When Yunchu's army entered Xixiang, it heralded that the Ziwu Road had been completed.
After walking the Ziwu Road, Yunchu evaluated the possibility of Wei Yan's famous strategy of using the Ziwu Road to raid Chang'an in the Three Kingdoms.
The answer is that Zhuge Liang is right.
Wei Yan was wrong.
Yunchu felt that the quality of the 53,000-strong army he commanded was higher than that of the Shu army during the Three Kingdoms period. Whether it was equipment, supplies, or the quality of the soldiers, it was higher than that of the Shu Han army.
After the army under his command walked through the Ziwu Road, according to the calculations of various commanders, the combat strength was only less than 40%.
The Ziwu Road is rugged and mainly mountainous. During the march, you have to climb at least three main peaks of the Qinling Mountains. The long 840 mountain road is very unfriendly to mules and horses. The 6,000 war horses carried by the 3,000 cavalrymen, More than 300 horses were lost in the process of climbing over the mountain.
The strategy of raiding Chang'an from Ziwu Road covered almost all the taboos of military strategists. Attacking from a long distance, facing a fortified city, and using light infantry to compete with cavalry on the plains. Although there are many advantages in small aspects, it is still a small road after all.
It can even be said that even if Chang'an is captured, it will be difficult to hold it. Unless Meridian Road is widened into a two-way four-lane road, it will still be about the same.
After walking the Ziwu Road, if you want to go to Chengdu, you have to set foot on the Jinniu Road.
Most of the legends about the roads in Hanzhong and Shu are related to military affairs, and the Golden Bull Road is no exception.
It is said that during the Warring States Period, the Qin State wanted to conquer the Shu State, but the road was difficult and difficult due to the thousands of miles of mountains. The King of Qin ordered five stone cows to be made and presented to the King of Shu, lying that the stone cows could make a fortune worth of money.
The greedy king of Shu ordered seven powerful men to open the way and welcome the stone ox with his heart. After the road was built, the king of Shu ushered in thousands of Qin's cavalry instead of stone oxen that could make a lot of gold in the sun, and the Shu Kingdom was destroyed.
Yunchu felt that this story must have been made up by the old Qin people, just to prove how stupid the people of Shu were, how greedy the king was, and what future there was to follow such a stupid king, so it was better to hang out with the old Qin people.
However, after seeing Fuling Wang Xi in Xixiang, Yun Chu suddenly felt that whether it was the Western Trojan Horse Strategy or the Old Qin people's Stone Ox Strategy, it seemed possible to succeed.
Because there are really very, very stupid kings in this world.
The most stupid king was undoubtedly Fuling Wang Xi, who actually invited Yunchu to hunt with him at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains.
Just by hearing the words "Hui Hunter", you know that this thing is not a good kind.
Yun Chu took a serious look at Li Xi who was sitting in the main seat of the tent and said, "Can you hunt?"
Li Xi raised his glass and laughed loudly and said: "I have no hobbies in my life, but I am very talented in hunting. I have defeated all the invincible enemies in Sichuan. I have heard for a long time that the general is a rare and powerful general in the Tang Dynasty, and I can't help but feel happy to see him. "
Hearing what Li Xi said, Yun Chu loosened his clenched fists and said, "I thought the King of Fuling was going to start a war with me here in Xixiang."
Li Xi stood up and looked at Yun Chu condescendingly and said, "I am of Taizong's bloodline. The reason why I like hunting is to lead troops on an expedition one day. Unfortunately, there has been no such opportunity for decades.
Nowadays, the general's expedition to the southwest is just to kill some savages in the high mountains. In the eyes of the lonely king, it is no different from hunting.
Therefore, the lonely king wanted to go hunting with the general at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains to see how strong he was. "
Yun Chu looked up at Li Xi and couldn't help but admire in his heart.
I don’t know how Emperor Taizong gave birth to a child. Among the kings he has met, not to mention Li Zhi, who is over 1.9 meters tall. This guy is worthy of the evaluation of the sky and the sun, especially When they stand together with Wu Mei, who is almost 1.8 meters tall, they really look like a pair of gods.
Handsome men, beautiful women, tall and cold, coupled with the sense of majesty that imperial power brings to them, it would be a pity for such people not to be Emperor Yunchu.
Although Cao Wangming is fat, if he loses 100 pounds, he will definitely be a handsome middle-aged man with clear features.
Ji Wangshen is considered the most wretched-looking one, but he is also over 1.8 meters tall. When he picks up the carving knife and starts carving jade, he will definitely be a person who can cause thousands of girls to scream in future generations.
plum
Unfortunately, Emperor Taizong once said of him: "Animals can be tamed after training; iron and stone can be made into square and round utensils after being smelted and carved." And people like Li Xi are worse than animals and iron stones.
Now when this guy who is worse than a beast stands in front of Yunchu, even though he knows that he is not a thing, looking at this guy's handsome appearance, he feels that even if he is worse than a beast, those beasts should be inferior to beasts like peacocks and leopards. If you use crows, wild boars, etc. to comment on Li Xi, you would be somewhat sorry for his appearance.
Zhang Donghai has been staring at Yun Chu, waiting for Yun Chu to explode.
Yunchu did not explode, but instead smiled and said: "King Fuling is wrong, my commander's march into the southwest this time is not to kill a few ignorant savages, but to ensure long-term peace and stability in the southwest.
Therefore, there is no need to talk about being able to hunt, or if hunting is not conducive to our uniting the various departments in the southwest. 「
Li Xi raised his wine glass and sighed: "Since the death of the great hero, the poor Tang Dynasty has no good generals to use."
Yun Chu still smiled and said: "Who in the world dares to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ying Gong?"
Seeing that Yun Chu didn't argue with him, Li Xi didn't know why, but his face, which had been so charming just now, immediately changed. He grabbed the riding crop on the desk and whipped a red-robed official hard on him.
When this person was introduced just now, I heard that he was the Chief Historian of the King of Fuling. When the whip came down, this seventh-grade Chief Historian actually chose to resist without saying a word. If the whip hadn't fallen on his back, causing his official robe to rupture and blood seeping out. When they came out, Yunchu almost thought they were making a show.
After being whipped seven or eight times in a row, Li Xi finally calmed down a little and said to Yun Chu: "Since the general is unwilling to hunt with me, why don't we organize the army and let me have a look?"
Yun Chu was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Zhang Donghai. Seeing that the guy looked at his nose and looked at his nose without caring, he knew that Li Xi, the Fuling King, liked to bring up things that made things difficult for others.
Yun Chu waved his hand and said: "Everyone says that a glimpse of the leopard can be seen from the inside. Now, I am sitting here. King Fuling can take a closer look at me, and then he will know how powerful the military power of the Tang Dynasty is."
Yun Chu felt that he had lowered his profile and Li Xi's subordinates could smooth over the matter with a few words of advice. Unexpectedly, the subordinates of King Fuling, including Chang Shi who had been whipped just now, actually remained silent. Watching King Fuling commit suicide.
Seeing Yun Chu's retreat, Li Xi said more and more proudly: "Now that the imperial army has long been decayed, I thought that if the Tang Dynasty dispatched 8,000 soldiers and 40,000 civilians, they would be able to wipe out all the savages in the southwest jungle.
Unexpectedly, after more than two years and three years, not only did he not make any achievements, but he was killed by the savage Sheng Luopi, leaving him with corpses everywhere.
At the beginning of Yun Dynasty, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were not as good as the previous generation. As a member of the royal family, it is necessary for me to review this army to see if it has the ability to go to the southwest to fight the savages.
If so, go ahead. If not, the lonely king will write to the emperor and ask them to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, so as not to lose their master and humiliate the country and poison our country of Tang Dynasty. 「
Yun Chu felt that he might have heard wrong, so he stood up and checked again: "Is the King of Fuling really going to parade?"
Maybe it was because Yun Chu's face was not good-looking, Li Xi said angrily: "Why, can't it be done?"
Yun Chu glanced at the smiling Zhang Donghai again. After weighing it, he felt that he couldn't bear it, so he reached out and grabbed Li Xi's neck.
Yun Chu's movements were extremely sharp, and he was obviously rushing to kill people. However, all the officials present at the scene of the Fuling King were still sitting here with expressionless faces. Only Chang Shi, who had just been whipped, had a trace of joy in his eyes.
Li Xi was not a waste. When he saw Yun Chu's hand coming over, the whip in his hand whipped towards Yun Chu with a crackling sound. Yun Chu was very familiar with whips. The big hand that grabbed Li Xi's neck was slightly raised half a foot, softly The riding whip immediately coiled around Yunchu's wrist like a green poisonous snake.
At the same time, Li Xi's left fist had already hit Yun Chu's face.
Yun Chu dodged away, looked at Li Xi and said, "Do you know what you are doing?"
Li Xi yelled with eyes split open: "That weakling Li Zhi ordered you to kill the lonely king. How could the lonely king
I don’t know. "
Yun Chu smiled and said: "So, you are deliberately looking for death, right?"
Li Xi shouted: "The lonely king is of Taizong's blood, how can he live an ignoble existence? Since he wants to kill me, then come. If the lonely king frowns, he is not considered a descendant of Taizong."
Looking at Li Xi's crazy face, Yun Chu said with a smile: "I will not kill Taizong's heirs."
After saying that, he raised his hand to push Li Xi away and returned to his seat.
Zhang Donghai said in confusion: "Why?"
Yun Chu said: "Slaying dragons is addictive, so it's better not to set this precedent."
When Li Xi saw that Yun Chu was ignoring him, he became furious, but he did not dare to provoke Yun Chu any more. He waved his riding crop and whipped his subordinates shamelessly.
Yun Chu picked up the wine glass and looked at Li Xi with a smile as he went crazy, but Zhang Donghai became a little anxious. He stood up several times, but was frightened by Yun Chu's gaze and sat down again.
At the same time, everyone in the Chang'an army saw the strange scene, so they drank, talked and laughed like Yun Chu, seemingly invisible to the scene of Fuling Li Xi beating his subordinates.
"You idiot, Gouqiuji.com, the lonely king usually tolerates you three points, but you don't look at the kindness of the master, and just keep complaining to Li Zhi about the master's evil... I'll beat you to death today, let's see who dares stop……
Li Xi scolded more fiercely, and his men became more fierce. Seeing that Chang Shi was about to be beaten to death by Li Xi, this guy didn't know where he got the courage. Suddenly he screamed strangely and hugged Li Xi. He threw him to the ground fiercely. Maybe he was really scared. He let out a series of roars like the whimpering of a wild dog, and bit Li Xi's arm fiercely with his mouth.
Yun Chu raised his wine glass and turned back to his subordinates: "Use your brain more when doing things in the future. Look at the current scene. If you kill me, I will kill you. Any sloppiness will be rewarded." The serious consequences are unbearable for them.”
All the generals raised their glasses together and said, "The commander-in-chief is right."
After that, these generals cast their pity eyes on the subordinate officers of King Fuling who were beaten badly.
Another royal official in red robe screamed miserably, flew over, and firmly pressed Fuling Li Xi who had turned over. The chopsticks in his hand had already pierced Li Xi's eyes.
"Kill him..." A young official in green robe rushed forward.
"Kill him so that we can live." Another palace guard in black rushed forward...
Seeing that the tent could not be used, Yunchu led his men to leave the bloody battlefield. Listening to Fulingben's screams, Yunchu said to Zhang Donghai: "Don't do this kind of bad thing to me. .”
