Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3178: How can a piece of cake be used as a jade?

 The storm is about to be stirred up, and the transformation of the original structure of Sichuan and Shu is about to come.

　　『For the glory of God Ba! For the freedom of the Palestinian people! 』

 Everyone echoed in unison.

 This is a slogan that came naturally.

 This moment is exactly like that time.

The Ba people cheered, just as they would have shouted before or after.

These agitated Ba people have not thought about why they are here, nor do they know what they are involved in.

These Ba people, from a certain perspective, are actually the side effects of Fei Qian making Sichuan and Shu rich. People will only consider political issues after they have had enough to eat and drink. If they live in extreme poverty for a long time and are struggling on the verge of starving to death, they will have no time to theorize or think about what "glory" is and what is. "Free".

 It is precisely because the living standards of Sichuan and Sichuan have been improved and the people are prosperous every day that the Ba people have more savings and more time to participate in such things.

 The so-called snake **** is a complete joke.

Zhu Huan's previous battle failed, but Zhu Huan's strategy of using the Ba people was correct. No one denies this.

Zhu Ran was of course very clear about the problems Zhu Zhi faced, so when he heard that the Ba people came to seek cooperation, Zhu Ran knew something was wrong, but he was still doubtful.

Is this how pitiful Sun Quan is?

It's like walking on the road and suddenly seeing a stack of money, even though you know in your heart that this pie falling from the sky may be poisonous, but what if? What if this was a real pie? How fragrant!

When Zhu Ran followed the Ba people who led the way to the area around Yufu, his mind had changed from being cautious and nervous at the beginning. Gradually, he began to feel that it was necessary to show his strength in front of the Ba people, or to show it to those Ba people. It is a wise move to go to Jiangdong. They Jiangdong people can guarantee the commercial interests of the Ba people in the future...

Jiangdong Military Academy followed the Ba people and rushed in.

After the arrangements were made, Jiangdong soldiers mixed with the Ba people's queue and sneaked up to the top of the Sichuan Shutun Liang Mountain.

Jiangdong's invasion of Sichuan and Shu was portrayed as an ally for the glory and freedom of the Ba people.

The so-called freedom and equality is a complete lie.

Of course, Zhu Ran held back in the end. He carefully let his subordinates, the Military Academy, take action and hold the battle himself.

 No, Sun Quan made it himself. Although Sun Quan learned Sun Ce's lesson and said that he would not use the sword anymore and wanted to sit down and talk with the Jiangdong nobles, the hand behind Sun Quan was always holding the sword. Sun Quan always pretended to be kind on the surface, but in his heart he still wanted to kill, kill, kill.

Sun Quan even sent people like Zhu Zhi as governor. What does it mean?

You must know that although Zhu Zhi recognized Sun Quan after Sun Ce's death, in fact Zhu Zhi did not fully approve of Sun Quan, but chose to remain silent at the time.

 Actually, there is nothing easy to command when attacking a grain garrison with only two to three hundred people stationed there.

 People can make up their minds.

It is precisely for this reason that when the Ba people led Jiangdong soldiers to climb some hidden mountain roads and appeared in front of the defenders where the Sichuan and Shu troops were hoarding grain and grass, they were caught off guard.

 Some people did not believe it, but these Ba people were silent.

 Some people also don’t believe it, but these Ba people are out for profit, so they shout slogans that they don’t believe in either, and then make other Ba people believe it.

Most of the hills in South Vietnam are relatively gentle, and you can still climb them if you really want to. However, there are many cliffs in Sichuan that look like they have been cut directly by nature. Sometimes, let alone climbing, just looking at them makes you feel dizzy. .

 Silence does not just mean acquiescence.

 Sun Quan actually knew this, so he gave Zhu Zhi incomparable honors and even freedom in history.

This is because Zhu Ran also witnessed Sun Quan's various suffocation operations in Jiangdong, so it seems understandable that he heard that some strange regional lords appeared in Sichuan and Shu?

 Bo Shan stood beside Zhu Ran.

 But this matter is difficult.

To break this situation, only the majority of the silent people start to speak out, and then the information cocoon deliberately created by a few thoughtful people can be broken.

The defenders in Xiaoliangzhai were screaming, and the Ba people were also screaming. The battle of hundreds of people seemed like the movement of thousands of people...

Bo Shan, a member of the Bo family, met with Zhu Ran specifically and told about some changes in Sichuan and Shu. After that, Zhu Ran had some ideas.

With a loud noise, the door of Liangzhai was finally knocked open.

 He was a guide and did not participate in the fighting.

Jiangdong is also facing an information cocoon.

　　　Bang! 』

 And Sun Quan's behavior also caused Zhu Zhi to be unable to arrange his tactics calmly. He had to do something before Sun Quan's suspicion broke out.

In the later period of Jiangdong, Sun Quan was almost defeated. But in the end, Sun Quan still had to succumb to the Jiangdong nobles. What does this mean?

 In Jiangdong, those who are capable are not loyal, and those who are loyal are incompetent.

  After all, there is Jiangzhou Bo who often does business with Jiangdong as an intermediary.

 At that time, whether it is advancing or retreating, Zhu Zhi and the Zhu family will have a relatively large room for maneuver.

 So who can be blamed?

 Mountainous areas like Sichuan and Shu are very different from the hills in South Vietnam.

Zhu Ran looked around, and if something went wrong, he would immediately abandon the man and retreat.

If we can collude with the Ba people to capture Bashan, it means we can seize Bajun, which will open the door to attack central Sichuan. Moreover, Ba Jun can march into Shangyong Hanzhong, and his subordinates can control Jiangzhou and approach Nanzhong. It can be said that if such a piece of territory is really obtained, it will undoubtedly be Zhu Zhi's biggest victory after taking over the post of governor.

 What does this mean?

 Jiangdong, after Zhou Yu, there is no one available!

Historically, Sun Quan petitioned Zhu Zhi to appoint him as the prefect of Wu County and the general of Fuyi. He gave the four counties of Lou, Youquan, Wuxi and Piling as his seat, and allowed them to set up chief officials. This is almost equivalent to dividing the land and breaking up the soil, which is considered to be the exchange for Zhu Zhi's superficial compliance with the announcement but not the tune.

Cao Cao was suspicious, but at least he was at ease with the people of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, and was even deliberately biased. Sun Quan was also suspicious, but he could ruthlessly kill his own brothers, his own relatives, and even his own sons.

Such a mountain road is not difficult to climb for Bo Shan, and attacking such a small grain village with two to three hundred people is nothing in his eyes.

 What Boshan cares about is Zhu Ran and some of the Jiangdong forces represented by Zhu Ran.

 The Bo family and other wealthy families in Sichuan and Shu all have the habit of doing business with Jiangdong.

 Among these trades, Shu brocade is undoubtedly the largest one.

Although China has begun to produce silk in the Neolithic Age, the Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River Basin, the current large-scale commercial and industrial brocade production in the Han Dynasty was still in Sichuan and Shu.

The three words "Jinguancheng" show its weight.

This may be the earliest and largest single industrial production base in China.

As for the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Jiangdong and Jiangnan areas, although silkworms have indeed existed for a long time, it was not until after the Song Dynasty that the silk fabrics in Jiangnan could really compete with Shu brocade.

 In the business going down the river from the middle of Sichuan to Jiangdong, the profits of Shu brocade are undoubtedly crazy.

It is precisely because Shu brocade is so expensive that Soochow spent great efforts in cultivating silk silkworm pupae in Jiangdong, laying the foundation for the development of silk in Jiangnan.

Historically, when Liu Bei was entrusting his son, he probably realized that Sichuan and Shu were being infiltrated by Jiangdong, so he played a clever trick. When Liu Bei was dying, he both praised and praised Zhuge Liang, granting Zhuge unparalleled civil power. At the same time, he promoted Li Yan to serve as Shangshuling and Zhongduhu. On the surface, it seemed that Li Yan was in charge of the military, but in fact he Zhao Yun of the Central Guard Army was separated, and Li Yan was allowed to stay in Yong'an.

Although it is unclear whether Liu Chan could understand such complicated personnel arrangements and job transfers made by his father before his death, it can at least be explained that Liu Bei was well aware of the important passage between Sichuan, Shu and Soochow. bright. If Yong'an is stuck, oh, that is, the current Yufu will give Zhuge Liang more time to take his young master to establish a firm foothold in Sichuan, and Li Yan, who is unstable, will not cause more trouble for Zhuge Liang...

So in history, did all the native people in Sichuan and Shu rebel?

 Apparently not either.

It's just that the silent people of Sichuan and Sichuan are "represented" by other noisy guys.

Just like now, Bo Shi brought some Ba people, as if he "represented" all the Sichuan and Shu clans, and all the Ba people negotiated terms with Zhu Ran.

Although Zhu Ran said that with his status as Zhu Zhi, he could lead the army alone at a young age, but he was not incompetent. He had been practicing martial arts in the military since he was a child. He had many meritorious deeds in conquering bandits. Historically, he guarded Jiangling against the enemy. Cao Wei attacked and resisted in June without falling.

Zhu Ran looked at the black smoke rising over Xiaoliangzhai and said, "It's time for the Sichuan army to arrive..."

 Attacking Xiaotun Liangzhai was not Zhu Ran's entire goal.

This time Zhu Ran went around the mountains and used his best tactics. He sneaked through the roads and surrounded them, intending to attack Yufu Liang Road. He caught Sichuan and Shu by surprise, and then joined forces with Zhu Zhi to join forces with Yufu.

 Now, Zhu Ran's goal seems to be half successful.

 …

 …

 All gifts from destiny are actually marked with a price.　　　　　Does it mean that these Jiangdong people will not be suspicious? Faping stood next to Zhuge Liang and asked, "Why do I think this thing seems...somewhat...that..."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I once heard that someone was seriously ill, so he hurriedly sought medical treatment." 』

 Fa Ping seemed to have some feelings after hearing this.

　　　　When a husband's illness comes, it is like a mountain collapsing and the ground is cracking, and people's feelings are like a boat leaking into a river. This is why a person who is anxious and anxious does not choose to seek medical treatment, just like a hungry person does not choose to eat, and a thirsty person does not choose to drink. Zhuge Liang said slowly, "It's not that people in the world don't know how to identify doctors. They also know that they should observe their actions, listen to their words, and ultimately observe their effects before trusting them with their lives." However, it is very rare for someone to remain calm and self-possessed even when he is seriously ill. Why? 』

Fa Ping suddenly realized, "It is indeed a profound insight..."

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that Jiangdong's generals are stupid, but Jiangdong's troubles are serious." 』

 ‘The troubles in Jiangdong…’ Faping repeated.

Zhuge Liang sighed slightly, "Of course." Jiangdong is a corner of peace. Although there is no worry about the four battles, it lacks decisive courage. Cao Mengde especially knew that trapped animals were fighting, but Sun Zhongmou was just greedy for small profits. If the Lord is like this, he will be in a hurry. The defeat of Jiangdong was not a crime of war, but a fault of temple calculations. 』

Zhuge Liang was silent for a while, "What a pity..."

Fa Ping was slightly stunned. Is this a pity?

Zhuge Liang cast his eyes further afield, "I have heard that there is Gong Jin in the east of the Yangtze River, a hero in the world, a romantic and beautiful husband in the left corner of the Yangtze River... It's a pity..."

Faping whispered: "I heard that Zhou Gongjin is seriously ill." 』

Zhuge Liang nodded, then shook his head. After a moment, he sighed and looked at the map, "Where is General Yan now?" 』

Fa Ping was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward, checked some information first, then picked up the little man representing Yan Yan, and took a step forward on the map...

 The doll is made of bronze. When it is pushed on the map, it seems that the sound of armor clashing can be heard.

 …

 …

 In the mountains, an army was marching slowly.

 In this formation, many soldiers were soldiers from the Sichuan and Shu Mountains left behind by Wei Yan.

There is no doubt that these mountain soldiers are elite, and this can be clearly seen from their behavior.

Although most of the time, they don't seem to have anything special, but if you pay attention, you will find that the distances of these soldiers are even the same, and the feet of the latter person will fall on the footprints of the previous person. .

On the one hand, this is to ensure the safety of travel. The footprints stepped by the predecessors are undoubtedly safer than other places. On the other hand, it is to maintain a relatively stable marching rhythm, not to be fast and slow, which consumes physical energy in vain.

 In the queue, there was a middle-aged and older military officer. Although his face was a bit old, his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and in many places it can even be said to be climbing between mountain walls and cliffs. The soldiers must move forward cautiously. A little carelessness may lead to the fate of slipping and falling into the mountain stream. However, these soldiers seem to be accustomed to facing such challenges. Their steps are steady, their eyes are focused, and every move seems to be full of confidence.

 This is the self-confidence that comes from hard training, and the self-confidence that comes from repeated skills.

They knew very well that the enemy was waiting for them ahead, and that there were unknown dangers lurking in the mountains and forests ahead. However, they did not become timid and panicked. Instead, they seemed to be walking on the mountain behind their own home, with an inexplicable feeling. easy.

Suddenly, Yan Yan, who was in the queue, narrowed his eyes and looked around, faintly seeing a frightened bird flying behind the forest in the mountains.

 If there is movement, there will inevitably be frightened birds flying.

 But the frightened birds are not necessarily the enemy.

　　It can't be said that even if a giant monkey passes by, it will startle some birds.

On normal days, Yan Yan might not have been so careful, and he might have missed such a bird-scare phenomenon without paying attention. But now that he had received the news, Yan Yan naturally couldn't take it lightly. Something a little out of place caught his attention. .

There seems to be an unsettling atmosphere in the mountains.

Yan Yan walked forward slowly while inspecting the surroundings.

In Sichuan and Shu, many people think that Wei Yan is the king of the mountains and forests, but they forget that Yan Yan once fought to a draw with Wei Yan.

Although Yan Yan is older, this also means that he has gained more experience in the war.

 Now these experiences have become the key to his victory.

 In some ways, when an old general learns new tactics, he will often become more experienced and sharper than a novice.

 Obviously, Zhu Ran failed to hide his tail well.

Yan Yan saw several black dots jumping over a sparse forest.

Yan Yan’s eyes narrowed and she raised her arms.

 A low whistle sounded, and the queue around Yan Yan paused.

It was noon at this time, when the sun was at its brightest, and suddenly a bright light flashed from the distant mountains and forests.

　　　　啧. Yan Yan whispered, "You can't even hide your swords and guns... Pass on, there are bandits ambushing ahead!" Prepare to retreat! 』

 …

 …

Zhu Ran stared at the Ba people.

If the Ba people had not led Zhu Ran and the others to successfully attack a Sichuan-Shu Army food storage village, Zhu Ran might have thought that these Ba people were specifically here to harm him...

Do you know what an ambush is?

Can't Nima, one, two or three wood people in the random rush?

  Will you die if you stop for a while? !

　　　　They found us! 』

　　　　We were discovered! 』

　　　『Kill directly! 』

　　　『That’s right, it’s better to just kill him than to ambush him! 』

 Zhu Ran: "…"

The ambush location itself was planned. When the Sichuan and Sichuan reinforcements crossed the ditch, the archers would first attack the Sichuan troops exposed at the bottom of the ditch for a few rounds, and then throw some rocks, fireballs and so on, so that they could take advantage of the chaos to harvest. Human heads, isn’t this bad? Is it fun to have to rush out and kill?

 Before Zhu Ran could say anything to these Ba people, he saw that Yan Yan had already begun to gather the queue, and seemed to be preparing to retreat...

　　　　They are running away! 』

　　　『Follow me! 』

"Wait..." Zhu Ran just raised his hand, and before he could give the order, he saw the Ba people rushing out of the forest like hundreds of ducks, shaking their buttocks and running towards Yan Yan's queue. .

Bo Shiboshan followed Zhu Ran, and he also saw the current situation.

Bo Shan felt that Zhu Ran was a little greedy for success.

The original plan was just to attack the grain stronghold stocked by Sichuan-Sichuan transit, but after breaking the grain stronghold, Zhu Ran took advantage of the situation and proposed a plan to ambush.

The Sichuan army came through the mountain road, and they only needed to choose a suitable location. When the Sichuan army arrived, they could lead their men out and kill the Sichuan army easily.

 This original plan was indeed a good one.

 But the problem is that the Ba people are careless.

 It is difficult for the Ba people to be consistent in their actions without effective training.

Although everyone knows that you need to be quiet and hidden when ambushing, but as time goes by, some people want to pee, some want to scratch, some can't help but twist their butts, and some can't help but want to chat...

Although Zhu Ran repeatedly reminded these Ba people to pay attention, it was of no use.

 The next moment, Zhu Ran shouted loudly.

　　　「Kill ​​with me! 』

Zhu Ran is not greedy for credit. He has only come this far. How could he stop there?

 It's like running down a mountain. After taking the first step, even if you know that the follow-up will become more and more dangerous, it is difficult to stop...
