Chuan Yong glanced at the person who spoke, and immediately lowered his voice and told Hong Shitou: "This person's name is Chuan Wu Zhi, and he is also the elder of our Chuan clan... Well, he has always been passive in fighting Qin Daye..."
Hong Shitou narrowed his eyes slightly.
There must be some weak points within the Sichuan clan - they definitely won't all raise their hands in favor of raising troops to resist Qin, that's for sure.
But Hong Shitou didn't expect that this man would dare to jump out in public and want to embarrass himself.
Chuan Wuzhi has long snow-white hair, a ravine on his face that can trap mosquitoes, and a dark complexion. He is a typical Ba people image.
At this moment, Chuan Wuzhi seemed very satisfied with the sensational effect he had caused, and then said word by word——
"General Hong, the Qin army is a force of tigers and wolves, and it is known all over the world - the momentary victory has gone to your head, and you dare to openly attack Chenggu, which is very close to Qin's homeland?"
"What if we can't defeat it? What if we can't conquer it after a long attack?"
"Our Chuan clan has all its elite members, and when the time comes, they will all be captured by the Qin State... You kid just patted your butt and went back to the Chu Kingdom, but our Chuan clan was brutally wiped out!"
"Hmph - the Chu people are at odds with the Qin people, but they don't dare to fight against the Qin soldiers. They want us Bashu people to rush in front and consume Qin for you... I can clearly see these sinister intentions!"
"The idea of 'helping the restoration of the Ba people's country' is clearly just to make our Ba people bleed for the Chu people!"
"Even if the Qin State is defeated in the end, we will always be a pawn in the hands of Mi Liang'er... the puppets of the Chu State to control the land of Bashu!"
"Gentlemen, don't be deceived by the clever words and tricks of the Chu people... You might as well fight him out! The Ba people make their own decisions about the Ba people's affairs! There is no need for the Chu people to point their fingers!"
The words were impassioned... The other clan elders also hesitated...
It seems that this is indeed the case.
The Chu people were commanding here, but the lives of the Ba people were sacrificed, and the power of the Chuan clan was wasted!
Chuan Yong was furious, but speechless.
Hong Shitou smiled casually and said unhurriedly——
"This is a big fallacy."
"I'm 90% sure of establishing a solid state!"
"First, Chenggu is located at the junction of Qinchuan and Chuanchuan. It is considered the rear area for Qin State - Qin State did not expect that we would dare to attack there, so it must be unprepared."
“Second, the Qin people despise the Bashu people and think that the Bashu people are all uncivilized southern barbarians – they may be able to make some uncooperative actions in the fields, but they absolutely do not believe that the Bashu rebels have the guts to attack a big city like Chenggu. "
"So, the defense of Chenggu City must be lax, and the number of defenders may not be large."
"Third, the Qin State is currently not at war, and has no plans to use large-scale troops. Therefore, the Qin State does not have an army that can be used at any time!"
"By the time our attack was complete, the Qin State urgently recruited soldiers, reorganized them, and then headed south along the waterway... at least twenty days had passed."
"Therefore, although Chenggu is very close to the Qin mainland and it seems like we are pressed for time, in fact we have enough time to attack the city!"
He spoke eloquently, and it was clear that "attacking Chenggu" was not a whim like Li Yunlong's attack on Ping'an County, but the result of Hong Shitou's long consideration.
The three theoretical basis were listed, which attracted many clan elders to nod their heads.
Indeed... According to this, if planned properly, it is not impossible to establish a solid state!
Hong Shitou actually has a fourth unspoken certainty about victory - that is, he has the information provided by Qingyu Wei.
He clearly knew that the Qin army in Chenggu City was not large in number, and he knew the Qin army's work, rest and defense situation well.
Moreover, this is also in line with Xiong Wuliang’s original plan for the Bashu strategy for Hong Shitou——
'Destroy the canals, burn the plank roads, and guerrilla the Qin people'!
The twelve-character purpose left by the victorious lord Qu Yanghou was regarded as a treasure by Hong Shitou.
As long as Chenggu is captured, the [Baoshui] Canal can be destroyed!
Hong Shitou squinted his eyes and looked at Chuan Wu Zhi, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Despite the kind smile on Hong Shitou's face, he actually had murderous intentions.
Although Hong Shitou was angry at insulting the people of Chu, he could endure it...
But how dare this old boy be rude to my master?
Grandma...
There is a way to die!
…
Hong Shitou explained that the attack on [Chenggu] had a real chance of winning; but Chuan Wu Zhi had no intention of giving up, and instead continued to force Lai Lai——
"Hmph... So what if we can win? How can the people of Chu be so kind?"
"It's clear that the Chu State doesn't dare to fight with the Qin State, so we Ba people will take the lead and sacrifice our lives for the Chu State!"
"If we really defeat Qin in the end, we will become Chu's puppets!"
All four are quiet.
Chuanyong was furious.
The clan elders were silent... Many people obviously agreed with what Chuan Wuzhi said, but they just didn't say it out loud.
The Chu people have little friendship with the Bashu people, so why should they help the Bashu people regain their kingdom?
Why should they be given money, food, weapons, and capable generals like Hong Shitou in front of them to help them?
Of course there is a plan!
On the one hand, they hope that the Bashu people can help the Chu people to hold back Qin and weaken Qin.
On the other hand... who can guarantee that the Chu people will not covet the land of Bashu?
The land of Bashu now is not as barren as it was ten years ago!
After the Qin State spent ten years of hard work and devoted countless manpower, material and financial resources to the transformation, the Bashu Basin now sits on two thousand miles of fertile soil, and a considerable part of it is newly reclaimed fertile farmland - three crops a year, so terrifying .
To be honest - it is not inferior to the Huainan Plain that Chu State is proud of! Even worse!
Although Chu State already has a large granary like the Huainan Plain... but who can have too much of such a fertile and fertile land?
Maybe, these damn Chu people have the evil idea of 'both the Qin and Bashu people will suffer losses, and then they will take advantage of the situation'!
You must be on guard against it...
All the clan elders turned their attention to Hong Shitou, who looked a little embarrassed, wanting to see what this Chu man had to say...
What surprised everyone was that Hong Shitou actually laughed!
If Hong Shitou becomes angry and even draws his sword on the spot... everyone is mentally prepared. But this laughter really made everyone dumbfounded...
Hong Shitou's face was full of ridicule and he said with a smile: "You old man, what is your name, Chuan Wu Zhi... you are really ignorant!"
"My general has made his words clear - yes, I, the Great Chu Quyang Marquis, help the Chuan clan to restore the country in order to consume the Qin Kingdom! In order to include the land of Bashu within the sphere of influence of the Great Chu! "
Everyone was shocked!
Hong Shitou smiled coldly, and while thinking about it in his mind, he imitated Xiong Wuliang's unscrupulous tone: "So what? Do you still have the right to say 'no'?"
