Looking at the room full of bandits, Zhang Liang suddenly thought of an idea.
"When I came here, I heard from businessmen in Chengdu that Shu County wanted to suppress bandits, right?" Zhang Liang looked at the third elder and asked.
"Yes, our people did say that the new envoy did have the idea of suppressing bandits. Does this have anything to do with our affairs?" asked the third elder.
"Luring the enemy deep and attacking them, our people are good at jungles and mountains, and the Qin army is suitable for clearing the wilderness with strong walls. The Qin army's suppression of bandits is a foregone conclusion. If it is introduced into a narrow mountainous area and relies on geographical advantages to allow it to lose troops and generals, although it cannot Even if we say we can swallow 30,000 Qin troops, they will suffer heavy losses. By then our pressure will be much less," Zhang Liang said.
"We know the movements of the Qin army, but how to lure the Qin army over is a problem." The third elder said.
"This is not difficult. When I came here, I saw soldiers patrolling the trade routes into Chengdu. If I sent people to attack the caravan while they were patrolling, pretended to be defeated and got caught, and provided a place where they set up an ambush in advance, I would not be afraid that the Qin army would not take the bait. "?" Zhang Liang said.
"It's a good idea. Mr. Changping really has a vision, and Mr. Zhang Liang is well-deserved. Then leave it to us, I will let someone do it." The third elder said.
"I hope the young master can choose a suitable candidate who can withstand the punishment in front of him and hold his tongue until the torture in the middle before confessing the location. Only in this way can the Qin army believe it." Zhang Liang said.
"No problem, I will send my most trusted person to do this. Does Mr. Zhang Liang have any other instructions?" The third elder continued to ask. At this time, the third elder already believed Zhang Liang, not because of Zhang Liang. He saw through the shortcomings of their plan, but Zhang Liang used his family's honor as a guarantee. In his opinion, a son from a family like Zhang Liang valued his family more than his own life and death.
"Give me a map of Chengdu and its surroundings, as detailed as possible. Secondly, I hope that the young master can send people to bring swords, bows, crossbows and other weapons as much as possible, and also try to win over the mountain tribes to cooperate with us. Compared with the rest of us, There are too few people in Shu County and they cannot defend themselves with the support of the Chu army." Zhang Liang said, he thought that most of the work in Shu County had been done, but who knew that this group of people was really a larger group? The bandits, even if they rely on their strength to capture Chengdu, it will be a problem.
"Yes, I will. Don't worry, the entire Yuyuan Guard and Shilan Clan will join us soon." The third elder showed a trace of cruelty on his face.
Xiao Yu and the others went down the mountain. With the permission of the First Elder, some Yu Yuan guards went down to search. The same Third Elder also sent people to search in secret. When they found it, they disguised it as signs of being killed by the Qin army. At that time, he was instigating Yu Yuan. The guards and the Shilan tribe wanted to take revenge. Even if the Great Elder comes, he will say that it is impossible to suppress the emotion of revenge, and the Great Elder may also be on his side. After all, it is Saint Yu Yuan who died, and she will replace the Great Elder to guard Yu Yuan in the future. The only candidate.
Seeing the third elder's confident look, Zhang Liang opened his mouth and finally swallowed his words. He wanted to remind Ziyou to be in Chengdu, but these people probably had not heard of Ziyou's deeds, even if he said it. It will not attract attention, but will attract disgust. It is better not to say it, but it can save some situations at a critical moment.
Zhang Liang and the others were taken to a resting place. The two Zhang family disciples took off their cloaks and looked at Zhang Liang with some worry.
"Master, Mr. Nei Ziyou from Chengdu is in charge. Will our plan succeed?" one of them asked.
"I don't know, but this is an opportunity worth a try. Moreover, although Mr. Ziyou is the King of Qin, he is only a special envoy this time. According to Qin law, he has no right to interfere in local military affairs. There are rumors in Chengdu that the special envoy is related to I don’t know whether the news about the disagreement between the county governors is true or false, but whether it is true or not, it all revealed that Mr. Ziyou did not cooperate with the officials of Shu County in time.
Now the Wei State is digesting the captured land. If it waits until the Wei State digests it, it will be difficult for the Qin State to attack Wei. Therefore, his target should be the Wei State, not the banditry in Shu County. The bandit suppression should only target Shu County. A defensive pressure. "Zhang Liang said.
The reason why Zhang Liang was involved in a plan to lure the enemy deeper was because he wanted to take advantage of the fact that Ziyou and the Shu County officials were not on the same side, and Qin law stipulated that he could not personally intervene in local military affairs. He wanted to catch him off guard during this gap and use up as much energy as possible. Chengdu garrison.
"The master of the house is unparalleled in his resourcefulness, but I have worried too much." The two said.
"Ha~ The truly unparalleled person in resourcefulness is Mr. Ziyou who is in charge of Chengdu City." Zhang Liang smiled mockingly. If he had not met Ziyou before, he might have thought that he was extremely resourceful, but the more he wanted to understand, the more he wanted to understand. Zi You, the more he felt the unfathomable depth of Zi You and the gap between himself and the other party. He could not afford to be said to be unparalleled in resourcefulness.
"Get some rest early. Tomorrow we will choose a suitable place as an ambush point. These people from the Shu royal family." Zhang Liang continued. He did not make the words clear, but the meaning was self-evident. The people from the Shu royal family It's really unreliable.
"No." The two said.
In the blink of an eye, the next day came. Many people saw Qu Yi leaving the Chen Mansion on horseback. Among them were people sent by Sima Su. After receiving the information, his eldest brother, Sima Xinmu Xiu, happened to return. Arrive at Sima's house.
"Brother, you came back just in time. Our Sima family's opportunity has come." Sima Su said happily to Sima Xin.
"What chance?" Sima Xin said as he rubbed his aching head. In order to prevent someone from causing trouble during the Chamber of Commerce's alliance these days, he personally checked every place where there might be mistakes, and even personally led a team to patrol day and night. Checking the sentry post, he hadn't had a good night's sleep these days, and now it was finally over and he had some time to rest.
"It's an opportunity for Sima's family to be rejuvenated. I got in touch with Mr. Ziyou." Sima Su said with a smile.
"Master Wang? It is rumored that his relationship with the county governor is not very good. I heard a lot of people talking about this on the way back." Sima Xin said with a frown. Ziyou's punishment song is now circulating in Chengdu. Although he didn’t know what happened, he had a good feeling about Qu Yi during the years he and Qu Yi had known and worked together. Qu Yi was diligent in government affairs and lenient towards others, and he could be considered a good county guard. .
"This is not something we should worry about. This should be a plan between Mr. Ziyou and Prefect Qu to lure out the spies in Chengdu." Sima Su said.
"Tell me carefully." Sima Xin said.
"Mr. Ziyou wants to completely eradicate the banditry in Shushan, but behind the banditry in Shushan there is definitely the support of the big families in Chengdu. Therefore, Mr. Ziyou and Prefect Qu probably want to use this to lure out spies. Mr. Ziyou wants to suppress the bandits. These people We must win over the county governor to oppose this matter, and even if we can't object, we must know the inside story in advance." Sima Su said that their father Sima Jin passed the title of head of the family to him because his eldest brother was not interested in these sects. , and focused solely on leading troops to fight.
"continue."
"I know that my eldest brother's ambition is not to be trapped in Chengdu, because the banditry in Shu County involves the remnants of the Shu royal family, so the Sima family must guard Shu County to prevent civil strife in Shu County from affecting the Qin State. But this is an opportunity, Mr. Ziyou thought To quell the banditry, we must eradicate all unstable factors, so I chose to be loyal to Mr. Ziyou and help him eradicate all the remnants. By then, Shu County will not need my eldest brother to be in charge. With the credit of quelling the banditry, eldest brother can also enter. Chaotang, leading the army alone.
The Sima family can also be revived, and the military skills left by the ancestors and father can be revived in the world. "Sima Su said excitedly.
"Is this Mr. Ziyou reliable? Is he capable of quelling banditry?" Sima Xin said with some doubt. Banditry in Shu County is a stubborn disease. Many people tried to quell it, but in the end they all failed.
Sima Su felt helpless when he saw his stupid elder brother being treated in the military camp. Sima Xin was a complete military fanatic. Unless he was really tired or had something to do at home, he would want to stay in the military camp for a whole year without knowing anything about the outside world. So Sima Su began to explain Zi You's various deeds to Sima Xin, and put all the good words he knew about Zi You, which made Sima Xin stunned for a while.
"Okay, just tell me what I should do." Sima Xin interrupted his brother. Hearing these words gave him a headache. As expected, things like court are far more complicated than fighting in the army. At the same time, he was glad that he had chosen the Go to the army, not lead the family and do this hard work.
"Okay, now follow me to find Mr. Ziyou. You meet him first. The army you command is the main force in quelling the banditry." Sima Su said.
"Can it be tomorrow?" Sima Xin asked.
Seeing his elder brother's tired look, Sima Su could only nod and agree to take Sima Xin to visit Ziyou tomorrow.
At this time, in the post house, Zi You was listening to Mo Ya's report on Xiao Yu and the others in the past two days.
"In the past three days, the three children have visited most of Chengdu, and there is not much money left to sell furs. The three of them seem to have sneaked out, and there are no adults around." Mo Ya said.
"Keep watching them and don't let anything happen to them." Ziyou said, these three people were very important to him, and he heard Concubine Yan say that Xiao Yu contained powerful power, and the Shu royal family's classics also recorded that Yu Yuan The existence of the Saint of Yu Yuan is the key to guarding Yu Yuan, so Ziyou guessed that Xiao Yu is the Saint of Yu Yuan.
"Yes." Mo Ya said.
"Let the others change. Now you start to rotate surveillance." Ziyou said, although these guards are strong, they also need to rest, and they have always been easy to be discovered.
"Yes, sir." After Mo Ya said that, he disappeared into the yard and continued to monitor Xiao Yu and the others.
In the afternoon, the author has to take the train again, mmp, I am really speechless. Interviews, exams, defenses, exams, interviews, graduation ceremonies, exams were all clearly arranged for me. No wonder I have a mental breakdown.
