Chapter 63: Sarcasm
Four days ago, Li Xin had already sent people from Wancheng. Wancheng took a shortcut to Xiangheguan for more than 200 miles, and the itinerary should have arrived. However, east of Xianghe and outside Fangcheng belong to the Wei realm, and it is difficult to say that the Qin people even occupied Daoyi and Mulberry Tunnel. Xiong Jing wanted to explore before the Qin people occupied this section of Xianghe and Daoyi, so as to determine the location of the attack.
In addition to the personnel sent by each division, Zhuang Wudi and Shentong also had to go together. In addition to astronomy and geography, the strategists also included some craftsmen and surveyors. Xianghe Pass traverses the north and south, and the two mountains on both sides of the city are sandwiched; Turning south through Xianghe Pass to the east, it is also sandwiched by two mountains. Coming from the southwest, the Yingshi could only cross the mountains to the west or south to attack the marching Qin army, which required precise measurements and explorations.
As soon as the attack was confirmed, more than 100 strategists and guards went to Xianghe with Xiong Jing that night. At this time, the cavalry was south of Yangqiu and north of Xianghe, and it was only a hundred miles away from Xianghe, and it could arrive the next day. One step faster than people, Shentong's pigeon news flew to Yingdu on the same day, and then spread to Xiangyang before dark. Seeing that Xiong Jing was determined to attack Li Xin in the mountainous area between Xianghe and Daoyi, Li hurriedly approached Nao and Lu Yangjun to discuss the matter.
"Why doesn't the king stick to Shang Cai?" The plan of the Operations Division was that the Tang Division of the Hubei Division would hold on to Wuguan, and the Ying Division would hold on to Shangcai, and although the newly formed 12th Brigade was unusable and there were many deserters, it was still possible to defend the second city of Fanxiang. Lu Yangjun didn't understand why the king had to attack Li Xinzhong's army.
"I don't know." The pigeon news he received was very brief and did not explain why he had made such a decision. He could only guess: "After the war of Osawa, Kanto was uneasy, I thought the king was ......"
"But if the king is unpredictable...... "No matter how optimistic Lu Yangjun is, he can't sit back and watch the king attack the crowd with less and risk himself, he is completely against this attack." Xianghe Daoyi is full of mountains, although the Qin people march on a long path, if they attack it, what if the Qin people defend the mountain pass?
The weight of the Kanto region is none other than the state of Chu; The weight of the Chu State is none other than the king. If the king does not fall, what will happen to the state of Chu? How is the world? No, you can't. I thought that troops must not be sent, and the Yingshi must not go out of Xiangyang. ”
"Lu Yangjun is mistaken!" Li and said: "Master Yingshi is the teacher of the king, if we don't allow Master Yingshi to go, we will also be guilty." ”
"You and I don't say it, how does Master Yingshi know?" Lu Yangjun said, his eyes subconsciously looked at Nao Cunning, hoping that he would agree with his opinion.
"If we don't send the Yingshi there, the king will also attack him. If you don't let Yingshi go, the king will fall between Xianghe Daoyi, what can I do? He said. He was familiar with the king, and knew that he would definitely do what the king decided.
"So, what then?" Lu Yangjun didn't expect this at all, and he had to believe it when he said it. Back then, the king dared to lead his division to attack Linzi, and then went out of the fortress for thousands of miles to Xianyang to rob his wife, and there were still things he didn't dare to do in this world.
Lu Yangjun looked at Li and asked, and Li looked at Nao and said nothing. Nao Wei has not spoken, he has been the Great Sima for ten years, and he is very clear about Xiong Jing's intention to attack Li Xin. It's just that is it really worth it to take such a huge risk to kill Li Xin?
"Da Sima thought it was ...... this matter" Nao didn't speak, Lu Yangjun turned his head and asked.
"The king has made up his mind, and the ministers should naturally help him." Nao came back to his senses. "The pawn of the Nao clan will go with Master Ying."
Nao Cunning also has private soldiers, but the number of this private soldiers is only a few hundred, and the usual task is only to defend the Great Sima Mansion, and does not participate in the war. I heard that Nao was going to send out his hundreds of people. Lu Yangjun hurriedly said: "If the king is unexpected, the state of Chu will die!" ”
"If Li Xin invades the Eastern Lands, the state of Chu will also die!" Nao said slyly.
"Is my Chu State really in such a critical situation?" Lu Yangjun couldn't sit still, so he sat up. He always felt that the two armies of Chu and Qin were evenly matched, and although Daze was defeated, it was not enough to destroy the country. "In the past ten years, our army has defeated Qin several times, and the old Yingfang City has been restored......"
"For ten years, my Chu State has been so critical, and now it is only more critical." He knows the current situation best, which is why he is so pessimistic. The Battle of Daze is likely to turn into a turning point in the Chu-Qin War, at which point the Chu army will be defeated one after another.
"Philip! I believe ...... "Li is the commander of the combat department, and he does not refute his words in any way, Lu Yangjun's eyes suddenly became empty in his anxiety, and it is difficult for him to imagine that the state of Chu has been in danger.
"The land I have recovered is not for my use, what can I do?!" The sullen Nao said a word, and then sighed heavily.
"I only hope that the first brigade of the Sixth Division of the Sixth Division of Longxi can return to Chu." Li Ji has long discovered this problem. Whatever you thought before, it's too late to pay attention to this issue now. The most important thing at the moment is nothing else, but the four divisions and one brigade on the left bank of the water to break through to the Qiang land, and then withdraw from the Qiang land to Bashu and return to Yingdu.
"How do they ......" Nao Xin nodded, he was also worried about the six divisions and one brigade.
"In time, they will be forced to cross the water tonight." As he spoke, he smiled a little, and he remembered the false monarch Lu Gao who had misbehaved. This shaft actually dared to conceal to himself that he had sent a message to Nanzheng to warn the Qin army that he would go out of Qipanling from Baoxi. Lu Gao didn't say it, but later Cheng Si euphemistically mentioned this matter in the interrogation, but he was shocked in front of the king.
The division gave way to the fork, and the Qin army followed the newly opened road and the slope out of Qipanling to Nanzheng, which was the result of Lu Gao's calculations. In the Battle of Nanzheng, the Chu soldiers fought hard and defeated the 70,000 Qin troops led by the Qin general Bai Lin. If it weren't for the defeat of the Yue division to the Qin people's boat division, at least half of the 70,000 people would have died in the north of Nanzheng City.
Li and a rare smile, he knew that with Lu Gao here, there was great hope that the rest of the division and the other divisions would retreat to Qiangdi safely. However, thinking of the Qin Junzhou Division, who relied on the formation to make the Yue Division invincible within a few days, Li He quickly retracted this rare smile and wondered what kind of formation the Qin people used?

"Child, is that you? Why are you doing this?! While thinking about the formation of the Qin army's boat division, Aristotle IV looked at the dim cell and asked with pity.
"Teacher? It was the teacher who ...... "Therefore, the province is small, and the prison cell is also small, so it is not taboo to be imprisoned here as an important prisoner."
"It's me, don't be jealous. Why are you doing this? Aristotle IV asked again. A dark thing crawled over in the dimly lit cell, and when he got closer, he saw the blood on his body by the fire.
"Teacher, I, I ......" Don't avoid short hair, some staggered scars on his face, and all his beard is shaved.
Aristotle IV looked at Wuji, and Wuji also looked up at him in the halo. Eyes crossed, and Aristotle IV seemed to see the wise and courteous student of the past, but found that the present Wuji was very different from the previous Wuji: his eyes were as calm as water before, but now there they revealed a kind of heat and eagerness.
Gasping for breath, answering Aristotle IV's question. "I can't watch, I can't watch Qin Ni destroy everything....... Teacher! Needless to say, his black hand suddenly grabbed the fence across it, and he tried hard to stand up, but he couldn't. Since justice is in the interests of the strong, why can't the Zuni be given a chance to have a fair contest with the known world? Why do you have to help the Qinni people and help them ......"
From the first sentence, Aristotle IV knew that he had not yet untied the knot in his heart. I was going to listen patiently to the student, but when I heard him ask why he didn't give the Chuni people a chance, he couldn't help but say:
"What the Chuni are getting now is a fair chance to fight, and I'm talking about their war with the Qinni. Chini was part of the known world, an offshoot of the great power of Greek civilization, and she fought against the Chuni on behalf of the known world. Child, you shouldn't have helped our enemies in that vital war, you almost let Chinney lose this war!
You shouldn't! For whatever reason, you shouldn't......" Thinking of what his students had done, Aristotle IV suddenly became very angry, and this was the second time he had been betrayed. His fists clenched tightly, foaming at the mouth.
"King Qinni is very angry at your actions, he thinks that you are a spy of the Chuni people, and your plan is to help the Chuni win the war. If it weren't for the fact that you were a Greek, he would have put you to death with the most brutal punishment......"
Aristotle IV was like a raging storm, but the storm ceased in an instant.
"I'm a Xia, not a Greek." Wu Ji said, his voice calm and scorching, like a fire burning silently.
"What? What did you say? Aristotle IV looked at him incredulously.
"Teacher, I said that I am a Xia person, and I am indeed helping the Chuni Navy, hoping that they can win." Wu Ji was not surprised by the teacher's astonishment, but smiled, and he finally untied his heart knot and made the decision that was completely opposite to Fusu.
"You're going to die. If you are not a Greek, you will be executed tomorrow by King Qinni. Aristotle IV warned.
"People will die, teacher." Wuji laughed.
"But are you really going to die here? Dead in this obscure place? No one will remember you. The Qinni have already won, and Qinni will soon defeat Chuni and rule the land, and your death is worthless. Aristotle IV saw the unavoidable will to die, and in the midst of his Adam's apple, he did not know what to do to persuade his students to change their minds.
He didn't want to die, it would make him unable to communicate with the Qinni. What's more, the research that he painstakingly worked on for half his life will also fail - he accepted Wuji as a student because he liked his barbarian ancestry, and he always believed that no matter what kind of barbarian race, as long as he learned advanced Greek culture, he would become a civilized person and would be proud of Greek civilization for the rest of his life.
What a great irony it is now that he would rather die than admit that he is a Greek! If this news reached Greece, scholars throughout Greece and the entire known world would laugh at him. No academy would have hired him, let alone become the next director of the Library of Alexandria after Edoras, even if Ptolemy III had had his envoys tactfully convey it.
