It turns out that there are people from Chu helping behind the scenes - and they are the generals of Marquis Quyang of Chu State!
Marquis Quyang, who is that?
Wen Neng slapped the Confucian giant in the face; Wu Neng fought in the north and south, punching and kicking, and frightened all the countries in the world.
Even in the Bashu Basin, which is far away from the Central Plains, the name of Quyang Hou Xiong Liang is well known.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
The person in front of him is a trusted general under Quyang Hou. How can his level be average?
All the elders of the Sichuan clan expressed their faces: "It turns out they were sent by Marquis Quyang. No wonder."
"Disrespect, disrespect."
"Hurry and serve tea to General Hong!"
Hong Shitou had a smile on his face and said he didn't dare, but secretly smacked his tongue in his heart——
He is truly worthy of being his own master.
Just by revealing his reputation, these tyrannical Sichuan local snakes immediately stood in awe!
"It is rumored that Marquis Quyang is proficient in the art of ghosts and gods, and has the magical power to manipulate water and fire... May I ask General Hong, is this true?" Some people from the Chuan clan even asked.
Hong Shitou's head is covered with black lines.
In the land of Bashu, ghosts and gods are most feared... If Xiong Wuliang has the skills of ghosts and gods, it will definitely make these clan elders fear him more, and the success rate of subsequent plans will be higher.
But... Hong Shitou really doesn't know what his little master's ability to 'understand yin and yang' is.
He has been with Xiong Wuliang for a long time and has participated in several key battles.
For example, the "flooded fields and Zhen Qi's army" a few years ago relied on the power of digging dams. After that battle, Xiong Wuliang spent a lot of financial and material resources to accommodate the refugees downstream who were affected by the flooding of the Huaihe River.
The 'Burning Fu Li Sai' and 'Burning Xianyang' rely on fire oil tanks and extremely accurate catapults.
As for the "Battle of Jimo" that has been highly hyped recently, people say that Xiong Wuliang's method of setting up an altar attracted the underworld beasts to help... Hong Shitou knew well that it was an old farm cow wearing a colorful robe, a blade tied to his head, and a tail on his tail. It's just reed grass.
In short, Hong Shitou really didn't see Xiong Wuliang's "appearance" before.
As Xiong Wuliang's trusted general, you can't talk nonsense behind his back, right?
Hong Shitou felt a pain in his head. After a moment, he hesitated and said vaguely: "My king has many ways to defeat the enemy, and he has great abilities..."
The old people from the Zhongchuan clan looked at each other after hearing this, but an expression of 'Sure enough' appeared on their faces.
Hong Shitou knew that everyone would get it wrong, but he didn't explain it.
The old man from the Sichuan Kai clan coughed slightly, and his expression became more awed: "General Hong came to Bashu on the orders of Marquis Quyang to help Bashu fight against the Qin people. We are very grateful... Why do you come to our house today? Seeking advice?"
Hong Shitou smiled and said: "The Chuan family fought hard against the Qin Dynasty and resisted the tyranny of the tiger and wolf. The head of the family is deeply respected."
"Therefore, I sent my last general here to help the Ba people train their troops and do their best for the Sichuan family's great cause of resisting Qin."
"Now, after more than half a year, there are two to three thousand soldiers of the Ba people under the command of the Chuan clan. They are all strong warriors who know the mountains and forests well."
"The master of the house also provided us with excellent swords, halberds, grain, grass, and arrows to help us..."
"Its momentum has grown!"
"Based on what this general thinks - it's time to take the next step..."
Chuan Yong's blood was boiling, and the scene of himself taking charge of the royal power of Bashu seemed to have appeared in front of his eyes... He couldn't help but gear up!
Hong Shitou took out a scroll from his arms and shook it open, revealing a map.
"Next, I intend to unite with the Shu rebels and start a joint uprising with our Pakistani rebels - to capture the great northern city of Chenggu!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!
[Chenggu] is a large city in the Bashu region, located in the north of the Bashu Basin, adjacent to [Baoshui].
It is only seven or eight hundred miles away from the mainland of Qin. Going upstream along the Bao River is Qin's Guanzhong hinterland - and it is the core hinterland of the old Qin people, the Yongcheng area.
If the Qin army wants to come to the rescue, it can take a boat down the Bao River within ten days after gathering its troops.
Is this Hong stone going to be solidified?
How audacious!
Having said that, if we can really establish a solid foundation...
Not only will it greatly shock those domineering Qin people, but it will also greatly boost the morale and popularity of the Bashu rebels!
Hong Shitou said in a deep voice: "At the junction of Qinchuan and Chuanchuan, there are dense mountains and forests, and the roads are extremely difficult and dangerous. If Qin wants to control the land of Bashu, the only way is to control the Bao River."
All the clan elders nodded.
The road to Shu is as difficult as reaching the sky. This is not just talk.
The communication between Qin and Bashu mainly relied on the transportation capacity of the Baoshui Canal - Qin officials and garrison soldiers were transported to Bashu by large ships; mountains of grain and grass were transported back to the hinterland of Qin by ships.
Hong Shitou: "Our rebel army is as powerful as a rainbow, and the Qin State will be like a knife in the throat. Next, the Qin State is likely to send a large number of troops to the Bashu region to suppress it."
"It's better to strike first - lay a solid foundation, control the praise water, and destroy the canal!"
"As long as this vital line of communication is cut off - then Qin will be in trouble if it wants to send troops to Bashu."
"When the Qin State fails to send reinforcements, the local pro-Qin forces will be cannibalized by our army and eventually be eradicated one by one... Within a year, the rebel army will definitely gain momentum; within three years, there is hope for the restoration of the Ba State! "
"At that time, the Chuan family will be the royal family of Ba Kingdom!"
As soon as these words came out, the air in the room seemed to rise several temperatures.
Chuan Yong was even more excited and his eyes were glowing red!
I thought that the road to national restoration was far away... Even if a genius like Qu Yanghou secretly helped, it would take at least ten or even decades.
did not expect……
In Hong Shitou's mouth, it was so easy!
Come to think of it——
If you look at Qi State, it is clear that it has been beaten to shit by Yan State, and only an isolated city is left crumbling... It is much worse than the current situation of the Chuan clan.
After just two years, wasn't it also possible for Xiong Wuliang to "rejuvenate" with a wonderful hand?
Currently, the situation of the Chuan clan in Bashu is far better than that of the original isolated city of Jimo - at least, the Chuan clan has enough troops (thousands in number), and as the rebel army develops, the number of troops will increase.
But back then, Jimo was a lonely city, and every soldier who died was one less.
Moreover, although the Qin army in front of them is known as tigers and wolves, it is definitely not as strong as the Yan army's "two hundred thousand people".
Even Jimo can fight back, so can I attack him!
Most of the people looked excited and eager to give it a try...but they saw a white-haired old man from the Sichuan clan suddenly stood up, pointed at Hong Shitou rudely, and shouted angrily——
"Wolf ambition! Wolf ambition!"
"Now that things have happened, don't you still understand?"
"This group of Chu people is extremely insidious - in order to contain the Qin State, they actually want me, the Ba people, to work hard for you and die!"
"Quyanghou Miliang...has no good intentions!"
A blunt rebuke resounded throughout the room.
Hong Shitou, Chuan Yong, and all the Sichuan clan elders in the room were all stunned!
