Chapter 545 [Privateer License]
As soon as he entered the second day of the day, Bai Dong went to the inner courtyard to pay homage to his mother Bai Yue, and personally told a few familiar maids to return to his room with confidence.≧, since the Bai family moved to the Western Regions, his pace of life has slowed a lot compared to when he was in Liyang, especially after returning from Qi, he devoted his main energy to Fengming Academy, which was like an educator's face, but he pushed many headaches of state affairs to Ying Quliang and Wei Yang.
Bird wine went to Liyang the day before yesterday. The Bai family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and now it is a huge business empire. Bai Dong is gradually becoming a hand-off manager, and she and Gou Zuozi have to take responsibility; however, Bird wine is enjoyable. This woman with poor background and no family background actually understands very well that she is not as noble as fleas, and Ying Shu is supported by Ying Quliang, a brother-in-law who has the power of a country. She only enters the Bai family first than these two "sisters"
I just took the extra pity with Bai Dong, but the bigger the Bai family became, the more her advantages would gradually weaken. If she could not show the ability and means of the "first mistress", she would probably fall into crisis sooner or later. This huge sense of crisis motivates her to move forward every day. Now she is the strongest woman in the Bai family. The minds of the trading clubs, cultural supermarkets and trade bases in various parts of the Bai family would have to slap her thighs hard and shout "color!"
"My sister Kujiu told me when she left that she asked you to fall asleep before the second update every day. If you refuse to sleep, I will ask you to sleep with you now. Now that I have entered the second update, my mother has also worshiped me. It's time for us to rest. Hello. Do you want to sleep?"
What caused the fleas the most headache in these three years was the Royal Grand Lecture who followed her butt all day long. I don’t know how many inexplicable etiquette rules this old man had in his head. Anyway, it made her want to learn and die of ecstasy, but the indoctrination of three years also greatly changed her temperament. When she saw Bai Dong coming back from her mother, she still refused to sleep. She was able to persuade her in a state of persuasion. If she had changed her previous temperament, she would probably have stared at her and yelled at her coquettishly, and if she didn’t succeed, she would have cured her husband and threw him onto the couch.
"But it's just the second day. I haven't seen your sword dancing under the moon. How can I sleep?"
Bai Dong smiled and pulled her waist, feeling very proud. Among his three wives, who were both open and secret, they were the ones with the least originated from Bitter Wine. There was a father called "Yan Yao", but now, both inside and outside the house, Bitter Wine was supporting the scene for the Bai family. Ying Shu wouldn't say that even if she was in Qi, she could not even come to the Western Regions. When she went home to visit her relatives a few times a year, she would be "small separation is better than a newlywed, and traitors, and love would surpass family affection." Now even fleas, a wife with the first birth and combat effectiveness, love would like to listen to Bitter Wine. In this way, Gong Harmony is the highest pursuit of his trance-traveler? Compared with this, no major events and plans to unify China and deter the Western world.
"My sword is used to kill people, not dance?"
The flea chuckled and suddenly patted his sword bag and threatened him: "If I don't sleep anymore, let me see if I don't put the sword on your neck? Oh, why are you here again? My husband should go to bed."
Under the moon, I saw a man coming with a smile. It was Wei Yang who came to the Western Regions some day ago. I don’t know why he refused to leave. Because it was Ying Quliang who sent a steward and a great title, Bai Dong allowed him to go to and from the Queen of the West at will. As long as it was only three o'clock, he could not report it without notice. However, in recent days, this guy has always come to harass Bai Dong, which made the flea feel very dissatisfied and glared at him fiercely.
Wei Yang only did not see him, and bowed to Bai Dong from afar: "Wei Yang met Xijun, congratulations to Xijun and congratulations to Xijun."
Bai Dong patted Bijiu's butt and signaled her to go to the room to wash Baibai first. He smiled and waved to Wei Yang and said, "What are you congratulating me? If it is for the matter of Bashu, then don't mention it again. Did General Zhang Feng make a vow in front of you, saying that he would collect the last wishes of Bashu Naita, and he was even more concerned about the emperor. Would he be willing to drive 100,000 tigers and wolves into Sichuan? I am an idle person, and I don't like to compete with him."
The attack on Bashu was a matter of face for Ji Bian, the new emperor, and the fate of Qin. Bai Dong is now a complete old Qin man, and he naturally has to consider everything for Qin. Therefore, the attack on Bashu and the development of the fertile land for Qin was put on the agenda. It was just that it was one thing to do, and when to do it was another. In front of smart people like Ying Quliang and Wei Yang, they had to make a decision.
"That day, Daliang Zai was also here to discuss matters in front of the palace. You have seen that, everyone is opposed to sending troops from the Western Regions to Bashu. I am afraid that I, the Western Lord, will not go against the will of everyone."
Bai Dong sighed and said, "Actually, I don't understand. Qin State has elite soldiers and strong generals, and veteran generals. Zhang Feng took the initiative to ask for his order to attack Bashu. Didn't the emperor's will also come to Liyang? The Chu State was newly defeated, so the only one who took Bashu was Qin, with a reputation and strength. What else can I worry about? But the emperor asked you to come to me for something? The burden is too heavy, aren't you afraid of crushing me?"
"Zhang Feng, general of 50,000 troops tried to enter Bashu, but he came back halfway. The old path was originally difficult to move. The Shu army built a few dangerous places. It was really hard to defend the pass, and tens of thousands of men were unable to get off. Moreover, this old path was really long, and the military funds in the rear were not conducive to transportation. Zhang Feng sent troops for only one month, and the food and grass were a little too late. Could it be that 50,000 troops were hunting all the way? In the end, Zhang Feng had no choice but to withdraw his troops and report to the emperor that he could only use Chu to enter Shu and go up along the river. However, in this way, our army would consume military funds, and the rear would be exposed to Chu. Although Qin and Chu had a hundred years of friendship, there were also disputes between Shang and Yu. Moreover, since the emperor called himself emperor, he was increasingly paying attention to Qin. The emperor would also be worried that Xiong Liangfu would develop jealousy and hatred."
Wei Yang sighed in his heart that although he was a famous scholar of the Legalists, he also had the intention of dominating the battlefield. In history, he led his army to regain his hometown in Hexi when the reform was achieved. Now this period of history has been changed by Bai Dong, and he has no chance to cheat the honest man, Young Master Ang, but when it comes to analyzing the war, he is still a top-notch player.
"The road to Shu is difficult, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky. Otherwise, how could the enlightened king dare to provoke China? It would be really difficult for General Zhang."
Bai Dong nodded. He sent someone to investigate the Qin State's road to Sichuan three years ago, but the result was indeed not optimistic.
If it is not considered the "Talented Bull Road" with legendary colors and highlights the severely low IQ of the enlightened king, there are two main roads from Qin to Sichuan in history: one is the old way that Zhang Feng took, which is the Jialing Road later called it. This road is relatively smooth and easy to walk, but the road is far and winding, which is not conducive to logistics supply. Because it was started in the Shang Dynasty, King Ping of Zhou was already called the "old way" after he moved eastward. Now it is probably dilapidated and difficult to guarantee logistics supply. Zhang Feng actually took 50,000 troops to attack Shu, which is simply crazy. He really thinks that the natural danger of Shu Road is a fertile field with a flat horse? Not to mention the 50,000 troops, with the current logistics supply capacity of Qin State, it is difficult to guarantee only 5,000 people.
As for the famous Baoxie Road, it has a longer history than the old road. It is said that it existed as early as the time of Xia Yu. The entrance of the Xigu is near Meixian. You can go to Hanzhong after leaving Baoxie. However, the road is steeper and better than the old road. It is not as good as the old road after reaching Hanzhong. There is another passage to reach Sichuan. Now, the "Talented Bull Road" connecting the Baoxie Road into Sichuan has not been fully opened.
So Zhang Fei is actually right. Therefore, the road is long and logistics is difficult to guarantee. The Shu people have a strong pass that has been run for many years to defend. If Qin wants to fight, they don’t know how many people will die in battle and starve to death. There is no way to use Chu. However, Ying Quliang will never agree. Regardless of whether it is feasible or not, will the Qin people still have the face? If Bashu is destroyed in the future, should the princes in the world praise Qin or Chu?
"It is because the road to Shu is difficult to move, and all the civil and military officials in the court are helpless. Only then did the emperor hope that the Xijun can share the worries of the country. The Xijun said that the Xijun was just a difficult one, but did not completely refuse. That is, there is still a way to enter Shu? The emperor said, Wei Yang, you go to the Western Regions and ask Ping'anlang for me, if he has any conditions and requirements, just say, I and him are called kings and ministers, but are really brothers, what else can I say? "
Speaking of this, Wei Yang looked at Bai Dong deeply. In recent years, Ying Quliang has become more and more majestic. Even if he is an important minister of reform, he is not as close as before. However, he is still so doting on the Western King Bai Zi, which makes him extremely envious.
"The emperor is not bad, even though it is difficult for Qin to enter Shu, there is no way. We should share the worries of the country and perform the thunderous anger for the emperor. We should not have put forward any conditions, but this time there is a condition, and I hope the emperor will agree."
"Not to mention one, even ten kings will definitely agree. Please speak with Xijun."
“I want a ‘private license’”
"Private license, what is this?" Wei Yang was stunned when he heard this. (To be continued...)
