After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 474
Looking at the continuous mountains in front of him, Meng Di showed a look of exclamation on his face. He has been walking for a few days, and he has been climbing the mountains all day long. Even he feels a little tired.Under such circumstances, there is no enemy attack yet. To put it bluntly, there is no need for too many people now, only a few thousand people can cause great trouble to his army.No wonder that when Qin Shihuang wanted to conquer this area, he sent so many people, but they still failed in the end.Fortunately, Shangyong can be reached not far ahead, and after walking for a few days, I saw a city from a distance. The scale is not very large, and it is much smaller than the city in the Central Plains. The terrain is very dangerous.Fan Li had been waiting for a long time. After meeting him, he bowed and said with a smile. "Han Wang has come all the way, how do you feel?" Meng Di shook his head lightly, looking at the surrounding mountains, with some emotion on his face. "The difficulty of the road to Shu is indeed the most difficult in the world. As long as you send a team in such a place, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It seems that the next battle may not be so easy." Hearing what he said, Fan Li He nodded approvingly, and then said. "The land of Bashu has steep mountains, and it is indeed not easy to attack. After coming down here for a while, I have developed some skills. I have two strategies to offer to the King of Han. One is Wenqi, and that is to send someone to see the King of Ba." "Nowadays, there are many tribes in Bashu, and King Ba's power is not strong, and I have united with many tribal leaders during this period of time, and they are all willing to take refuge in Han. Under such circumstances, King Ba would not dare to disobey." The other strategy is to use military force to borrow the strength of the local tribes, control some dangerous terrain, and then concentrate superior forces, step by step, so that it only takes enough time to take down Bashu." Mengdi did not immediately choose, Instead, he asked after thinking about it. "What does Shao Bo think is the most suitable?" Fan Li said without hesitation with a smile on his face. "I think the best way is to take Wenqu. Our Han Dynasty is powerful and has a very prosperous business. Today, in the land of Bashu, many places are still in a state of ignorance. Even if it is taken down, it will take a lot of effort to rectify it." "Judging from the current situation, the gains outweigh the losses. The best way is to cooperate with King Ba, first to stabilize the situation in Bashu, and then use Bashu to send troops to Qin. Now Qin's army is entangled with Chu and my army." "If At this time, if we can seize the opportunity to send troops from Bashu, then the Qin State will be determined. If we miss this opportunity, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to attack Qin State in the future." "As long as Qin State is captured, immediately strengthen the letter Guguan, after a few years of stability, Qin State stabilizes, then it can enter the Central Plains, and Jin State will definitely switch from offense to defense from now on, and will no longer be able to attack Han State." Meng Di nodded deeply. , immediately agreed, came down and spoke. "Since this is the case, then the affairs of Bashu should be done according to your wishes, Shaobo. It is best as soon as possible." Fan Li no longer hesitated, and he went to Bacheng to meet King Ba in person, while Meng Di led the army. Temporarily resting, he is full of confidence in Fan Li, and now he has started to make preparations to attack Qin.And Fan Li also lived up to expectations, and soon agreed on the conditions, that is, to maintain the current situation in Bashu, Bawang bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister, and sent troops to cooperate with the Han army to act together.Meng Di was overjoyed when he got the news, and then sweated and went straight to Lantian. The people of Qin State were shocked when they got the news. They never thought that the Han army would come to Qin State through the land of Bashu.It was too late to send troops to resist, because Lantian was too close to Liyang, which is the capital of Qin State, and Mengdi did not directly attack Liyang, but directly mopped up the Weishui area, and at the same time personally led the cavalry Rush to Huashan area.The purpose is very clear, that is to take Taolinsai, which is the gateway of Qin State, as long as you get here, you can attack Jin State, and at the same time cut off Qin State's retreat, and Peng Xi's activities are also in this area.Peng Ji was overjoyed when he got the news, and immediately summoned his followers and said. "I told you before that the King of Han has the ambition of the world, and some people have doubts in their hearts, but now that the Han army has entered the land of Qin, if we can't do something at this time, then we have no future to speak of." "So At this time, we need to help the King of Han take Taolin Sai, so I decided to take people there, nominally to help the Qin army guard Taolin Sai, and then wait for the opportunity to seize it, if anyone is willing to go with me, stand up." Everyone present realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they were extremely shocked by the news, because before that, Han was just a vassal state on the coast.It is too far away from the Qin State. Although Peng Ji praised Mengdi about the existence of the sky and the earth, the distance cannot quench the thirst of the near, so many people are unwilling to take risks because of this. But the situation is different now, and the Han army has arrived.If you don't take advantage of this time to do something, I'm afraid you won't have this opportunity in the future, so there is an endless stream of people responding. Peng Ji selected five thousand young and strong men and led his troops directly to Taolinsai.Now Qin State is extremely pessimistic. Taolinsai's defender knows that the Han army has attacked, and he has no idea. Seeing Peng Ji leading troops to rescue, he is naturally very happy.However, there was also some embankment, and they were stationed outside Taolinsai. Peng Ji didn't say much about following the order, but after the arrival of the Han army, he made a request, saying that the troops outside were too small to resist. Han army.Asked to enter the Taolin Sai to assist in the defense, the defender had no doubts about him, and judging from the current situation, he did not have the confidence to send people out to fight, so he immediately agreed, and Meng Di ordered to start attacking the city .Three days later, Peng Ji lied about the military situation and said that the Han army had already invaded Taolin Sai. To take Penji.At this time, Peng Xi's warriors were also making trouble in the Great Wall. Peng Ji and others fought and retreated, shouting loudly. "Don't worry about me, take down the city gate first, and welcome the King of Han to enter the fortress. This is the moment when you become famous. Kill me, sons and daughters!"
