Chapter 171 Conspiracy to build Zhang (2)
Liu ignored Ling Fei's teasing and said seriously: "The traitors to the restoration of the country must be eliminated, otherwise our Song Dynasty will have no face. Grandpa's lifelong ambition is to unify the nine states. Although my father and I do not have as lofty ideals as grandpa, unification
No one mentioned the matter of Kyushu anymore, but although the matter has stagnated, it cannot go back without reason. Back then, the Seven Kingdoms were more stable than the Nine Kingdoms, and now the Five Kingdoms are more stable than the Seven Kingdoms. If it changes back to the Seven Kingdoms, thirty
Didn’t the soldiers of Song, Qi and Wei lose their lives in vain many years ago?”
However, although Liu plausibly said, "The traitors to the restoration of the country must be eliminated," he suddenly thought of the female traitor who fell in front of him twice.
Once, in front of an inn in Yudu City, she was knocked down by Qiao's carriage. He helped her get up, but she nonchalantly asked him and Ling Fei not to make things difficult for that lady. At that time, he didn't know she was a woman.
Nor did I watch her dance the Xuannv Step and dance the Black Sword under the peach blossom tree outside the city.
The second time was at his wedding banquet. She was knocked down by the child of a prince and noble, and fell in front of the hem of his fine clothes. He helped her up, but he still didn't know that she was a woman. Her eyes were crystal clear, as if they were pregnant with blood.
Although she was crying, there was a smile on her lips, showing relief. He said to her that he had concealed his identity and hoped for forgiveness. She said to him, since he saw a gentleman, wouldn't Yunhu be happy?
After being separated for several months, he no longer remembered what kind of gorgeous clothes he wore on the wedding day, nor what kind of wedding dresses Qiao and Lingzi wore, but he clearly remembered the vermilion carpet and light blue clothes. He also remembered her hair.
The faint fragrance on the silk, remembering the softness of her delicate hands. But...she married someone else after all.
Miss Yan, I heard that the scenery of the palace on the top of the Zichuan Yilan Mountain in the Shu Kingdom is like a heavenly palace. I heard that your wedding banquet was very lively, with the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms, the heroes of the Four Kingdoms, and a hundred red coral face-covering hanging beads... I, the majestic King of Song Dynasty, gave them all
Without a wedding like yours, no wonder you would marry someone else in a hurry.
Miss Yan, your husband is the most beautiful man, the wealthy merchant, and the leader of the Restoration Alliance... I think he must be very good to you. He also has a compound surname that everyone in Jiuzhou admires. I, Liu, although I have the title of King of Song Dynasty
Although I have a noble surname, I occasionally want to have a catchy compound surname.
But Miss Yan, if one day you and I meet on the battlefield, what should I do?
So Liu made a decision that even he thought was ridiculous. On the battlefield, if you wear light blue clothes, I will let you go; in prison, if you wear light blue clothes, I will let you go.
…
He couldn't help but smile at his own thoughts. It was quite a pleasant feeling to have a female rebel in his heart.
Ling Fei watched with confusion as His Highness's expression changed from gloomy to clear, and even revealed a faint smile. He felt that as a martial artist, he really couldn't understand His Highness's countless turns and turns.
I came back with Linglong thoughtfully.
Ling Fei didn't know what to say to make His Highness happy. Suddenly, a palace man ran towards Yongtai Palace and shouted: "Autumn field military retribution! The rebel army of the restoration of the country sent troops in two directions, and all the way out of Shu.
Chen Guo is marching day and night towards the Chu Kingdom!"
Liu suddenly stood up, walked towards the palace people, and asked hurriedly: "How many troops and horses are there in the two groups of thieves?"
The palace servant handed over the military report from the Qiuchang military camp. Liu opened it and read it, and said to Ling Fei: "There are 40,000 people entering the Chen Kingdom and 40,000 people going to the Chu State. They probably want to split up.
One way is from the State of Chen, passing through the State of Zhao to our territory of Song Dynasty, and the other way is coming from the territory of Chu."
Ling Fei raised his eyebrows and said: "But they are divided into two groups, each with only 40,000 people. Compared with our Song Dynasty's 300,000 troops, it can be said that they have no chance of winning. What on earth are they going to do?"
Liu Dao: "I heard that the Allied Forces of Restoration had a total of 100,000 people, and only 80,000 came out of Shu. The other 20,000 are probably the real elite soldiers. The 80,000 soldiers divided into two groups are not taking a long way.
, marching like this with great fanfare, maybe just to draw our attention. However, since they are coming, they should not be underestimated. They should treat it as raising troops for a thousand days and training for a while. We, the new soldiers of the Song Dynasty, should also go out
I've been practicing." Then he ordered: "Lingfei, go to the Qiuchang military camp and tell General Feng to mobilize the young recruits from the Longshun Army and the Huicheng Army, and divide the troops into two groups, with 70,000 people in each group.
Go all the way to the border of Zhao to garrison, and all the way to Chushui to garrison. The rejuvenating rebel army will never even think of entering Song!"
Ling Fei accepted the order and said: "Yes!" and left in a hurry.

In the west ridge of Shu Kingdom, the cold wind blows. Zhuge Dunji and Zhuge Congrong, father and son, are sitting on the top of the peerless peak. Even though their internal strength is not enough, they still have to drink to fight the cold. Behind them are 20,000 defenders who have stopped to rest.
Zhuge Dunji said: "Climb the Peerless Peak, and you will find the Disaster Cold Pond. The Cold Pond is a man-eating swamp, with no rest in winter or summer. Through the swamp, there is an ancient ice cliff, which no one has been able to cross in the past hundred years. But as long as
If we go there, we can directly enter the Song Dynasty."
Zhuge said calmly: "Since my adoptive father can survive, we can also survive."
Zhuge Dunji nodded and said: "There is no rest in the winter or summer in the cold pond, but Master Zhuge and I discovered when we traveled around Xiling thirty years ago that as long as the cold pond freezes, it will be like walking on flat ground. People who walk on it will not be able to walk on it.
They will sink in and will not be swallowed up by the swamp. The reason why the adoptive father chose to raise troops this year is because the dragon snakes in Hanshui Hantan migrate south in groups in the summer. This is the three-year anniversary of Hanshui Hantan.
The sure sign of ice. Many knights and travelers who wanted to enter the Song Dynasty from Shu died in the Hantan, because no one knew that the cold lake froze every three years."
"Where did the adoptive father hear about this?"
"Your Xue Shibo personally told me this in Yaowang Mountain thirty years ago. He was good at raising snakes, but he had no idea about Huoshui Hantan, a deeply hidden place that must be fought over by military strategists. Every three years I
I personally came to this cold pool to confirm this rule. Only my adoptive father and I know the secret here, but he is no longer alive. Now, no one in the world of Jiuzhou knows it except you and me.
Even Wuxie, the King of Shu, doesn’t know.”
"How can we cross the ancient ice cliff after walking through the cold pool of troubled water?"
Zhuge Dunji said: "I have walked over that ancient ice cliff ten times. It is indeed dangerous, but as long as you master the tricks, use ice chisels flexibly, and find the best path, it is not insurmountable. Especially in winter, when the thousand-foot waterfall on the cliff solidifies.
When the ice turns into ice, people will not be washed away. We use ice chisels to cross the waterfall, and the rest of the way becomes gradually easier."
Zhuge calmly suddenly understood: "Father, when we enter the Song Dynasty unexpectedly, the 20,000 soldiers can march with light troops and march directly to Dongyang! By then, even if the Song army comes to encircle us, we still have 80,000 allies on the east and west sides.
The army is here to save us! As long as Dongyang is captured, Weiguo can be restored."
Zhuge Dunji shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Actually, Dongyang is the plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. The 80,000 allied troops marched in a detour with great fanfare. The King of Song must have thought that we were going to attack the east and attack the west, so he would not send too many elite troops to intercept our 80,000 troops.
Allied forces. And when he sees that our 20,000-strong army has captured Dongyang, he will think that we still have backup, so he will definitely send heavy troops to capture it. But what we want is not Dongyang, but Yudu! Wait until the Song army comes to save Dongyang in large numbers
, we can just give them an empty city. At that time, one hundred thousand soldiers will gather in the Song Dynasty to build Zhangjun, and the three allied forces will besiege Yudu at the same time. After breaking the city, they will move in from the ruins of the White Jade Palace that were trampled by King Wu of the Song Dynasty.
White Jade Palace, it is no problem to kill the diligent Little Song King. Now the power of the Song Dynasty is in the hands of the Little Song King. If you kill him, the Song Kingdom will exist in name only!"
Zhuge Congrong suddenly remembered the agreement he made with Shu'er: no matter what, he would not kill the King of Song.
He said to Zhuge Dunji: "Father, we can capture the King of Song alive and put him under house arrest. Only by not killing him can we demonstrate the benevolence of Qi and Wei."
Zhuge Dunji frowned and looked at his adopted son, and scolded him sternly: "Woman's kindness! The number of Qi Wei's allies is not large, they must pick up the sword and quickly restore the country. Xiao, when you kill one person, you can stop thousands of people.
