Daqin Ghost Valley, makes you vertical and horizontal but not unified

"My family has been hostile to the people of Qin for generations. As a person of Qin, why do you want to help us raise winter food?

"Your Excellency, you don't have any conspiracy. You want to wipe out my family!"

However, these remarks were not enough to make the old patriarch give up his guard.

After all, the Qiang people plundered the Qin State every year, and Gan Luo was a courtier of the Qin State, so how could he help them sincerely?

However, Gan Luo obviously expected this long ago, even if he was questioned, the expression on his face was still full of confidence.

"I don't know if the patriarch has heard a sentence, the enemy of the enemy is a friend."

After all, Gan Luo stared at the old patriarch quietly, waiting for the other party's reaction.

Sure enough, these words immediately aroused the interest of the patriarch.

"Why?"

Seeing that he had successfully aroused the other party's interest, the corners of Gan Luo's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

"Have you ever heard of the Han Kingdom?"

Chapter 297: True and False Zhao Ji

On the river, thousands of sails are racing, flags are flying.

After receiving Cao Chao's order, Ren Xiao led an army of [-] to garrison.

"Your Majesty!"

On the shore, Ren Xiao saw that Cao Chao actually came to greet him in person, and immediately stepped forward to salute, but was quickly helped up by the other party.

"That's right, to be able to train the army to look like this in just two months, it seems that Aiqing's ability to lead the army is not inferior to Sun Wu!"

Cao Chao glanced at the Han troops who were lining up in the distance, and patted Ren Xiao on the shoulder with satisfaction.

The soldiers lined up neatly, with high fighting spirit and high morale.

It is difficult to see that these are descendants of the Qin people.

It is really not easy to train a pawn to such a level in just two months.

After hearing this, Ren Xiao quickly explained:

"This is the merit of Zhu Xiangbang and Cao Fengchang, and the final general will not dare to steal the merit of greedy heaven for his own."

This team is the descendants of the Qin people from Bashu and Sichuan. Zhu Ying and the old patriarch have been in charge of reorganizing since the two counties surrendered. Later, when they gathered in Bacheng, the old patriarch was in charge of reorganizing. It has nothing to do with Ren Xiao. .

Seeing that the other party was not greedy for merit, Cao Chao nodded in satisfaction.

This is a test for Ren Xiao, to see if the other party is very happy.

The result was satisfactory, and then he changed the subject and asked in a joking tone,

"The widow transferred Aiqing out of the Beifu army, is Aiqing resenting the widow?"

As soon as this remark came out, Ren Xiao immediately knelt down on one knee in fright.

"My lord, this is an opportunity for the general to lead the army alone. This is the trust in the general. How can the general not know what is good or bad?"

After Cao Chao listened, he stepped forward to help Ren Xiao up again.

"That's right, it would be great if Aiqing can figure this out."

He patted Ren Xiao on the shoulder again, looking at him with satisfaction.

This person can see his own intentions and is a smart person.

For smart people, Cao Chao has his own method.

I saw him say sincerely:

"Nowadays, I am a big man with a lot of waste to do, and I need a brave and resourceful person like Aiqing to make contributions to my big man.

"As long as Aiqing can defend the gate, if this attack on Chu is successful, Aiqing will be the first to do it!"

After drawing a big cake, even a veteran like Ren Xiao can't help but be moved.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good politician.

Ren Xiao is both civil and military, and his greatest wish in life is to be able to become a marquis and a prime minister in the future.

Now that such a good opportunity is in front of him, how can he not be excited?

However, contrary to Cao Chao's expectations, Ren Xiao was not knocked unconscious by the big cake.

Instead, after moving his lips, he seemed hesitant to speak.

"In the widow's place, Ai Qing can speak freely."

Seeing this, Cao Chao pretended to be generous.

"No matter what Aiqing says, the widow will forgive you for not guilty!"

After Ren Xiao listened, he spoke slowly.

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly. Although it is dangerous to defend the pass, if the Chu people attack with all their troops, [-] troops may not be able to stop it."

After all, Ren Xiao looked at Cao Chao anxiously.

Being timid before fighting is a big taboo on the battlefield. If it were someone else, Ren Xiao's words would be enough to make him behead his head and sacrifice the flag.

However, Cao Chao just smiled casually, and his eyes became more appreciative.

Being able to take the initiative to tell the truth shows that this person is not a person who flatters and deceives the king.

"According to Aiqing's estimate, if the people of Chu poured out all the soldiers from the whole country to attack today, how long would you be able to defend?"

After Ren Xiao lowered his head and thought for a while, he replied solemnly:

"If the last general holds [-] soldiers and horses here, he will probably be able to hold out for two months."

"Okay, if the Chu people only lead an army of [-] to attack the city, how many days can Aiqing hold?"

Ren Xiao was stunned when he heard the words, then he cupped his hands and replied:

"If it's just an army of one hundred thousand, we will be able to keep this pass!"

Perhaps it was to dispel Cao Chao's illusions, Ren Xiao added.

"It's just that according to the general's estimation, the Chu people will definitely not let it go, and it is very likely that the whole country will come here."

Cao Chao nodded upon hearing this.

"I have expected this matter, but even if Chu State sends all the soldiers from all over the country, I will have a way to make it difficult for me to move!"

……

Qin State, Xianyang.

in a courtyard.

Under the orchid tree, there is an exquisite and embossed figure standing in it.

Stunning pale blue gown with gold filigree trim at the neckline.

The mountains are high, the valleys are deep, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal, which makes people unconsciously indulge in them.

The woman's appearance is definitely not the traditional Central Plains beauty, her face is a little too long, her nose is slightly hooked, and her red lips are slightly plump.

But matched with her pretty eyes, it forms a soul-stirring wildness and allure.

Especially Tankou with a very personality, the corners of her lips are slightly curved, which makes men feel that it is not easy to tame her.

Looking carefully, this woman's appearance is exactly the same as that of Zhao Ji's.

The only difference is that Zhao Ji gives people a vulgar and charming feeling, but this mysterious woman always has a cold temperament that rejects people for thousands of miles.

Slightly tilted, a strong wind blew, and a man in black suddenly appeared in front of the woman.

Kneeling down on one knee, he respectfully said

"Report to the Holy Maiden, there is a change in the person in the palace..."

While speaking, he reported exactly what Zhao Ji did in the palace.

"Do you know the details of this Lao Ai?"

The mysterious woman slightly frowned.

"Returning to the saint, this person is Lu Buwei's retainer on the surface, but in fact he is covered by a net. He is a pawn secretly buried in the prime minister's mansion by the servant Zhao Gao."

"Zhao Gao?"

After listening to the man in black's report, a sneer appeared on the corner of the mysterious woman's mouth.

"interesting!"

"The one in the palace..."

The man in black asked hesitantly.

"It's just a stupid woman. As long as she doesn't hinder the great affairs of my holy religion, then let her go."

"As ordered!"

Chapter 298

In Ludi, wars are everywhere.

Since the Hezong army fell apart, the Qi State sent 20 troops to crusade against the Lu State under the pretext that the Lu people had colluded with Luo Wang and intended to destroy the Hezong Army.

In desperation, the State of Lu had no choice but to ask the State of Chu for help, and the King of Chu readily sent Lord Chunshen to lead an army of 15 to "support" Lu.

The two sides have been fighting in Qufu for more than a month.

"Reporting to the Lord, a secret report came from the court."

The confidant walked into the commander's tent and respectfully presented a secret letter.

Unpacking the seal, Chunshen Jun took out the secret letter and read it carefully, then ordered with a blank expression:

"Send the order, the army is ready to pack up."

"promise!"
