Chapter 15 Zhao Zhi
In a bloody sunset, countless soldiers and horses galloped back and forth in the distance.

With a creaking sound, the two heavy city gates were slowly pushed open, and a cavalry force of more than [-] men came out from the sword gate.

Cheng Huaili's face was already covered with wind and frost, his long white beard was blowing in the wind, but the flames in his eyes were burning fiercely.

The rebel army had not yet gained a firm foothold in Yangxu City, and time was running out, so the king of Shu ordered him to rush to Zitong immediately.

Speed ​​up the horse and head towards Zitong at a very high speed. Even if you march in a hurry, it will take five days at the fastest from Jianmen to Zitong.

Time is running out!Arriving at Zitong one day earlier, there will be fewer variables.

……

……

Where is the poorest place in Bashu?
Tongren is one of the poorest, how poor is it?
The people here can only be counted as one of the best.

The state of Shu was under the chaos of the fourth generation. For more than forty years, if it were not for the rich family and the defense of natural dangerous passes, the state of Shu would have disappeared long ago.

In Tongren, there are a large number of Miao people, and there are also many Yi people living here.

The original Yi people did not live here, but they were driven to this area by the then king of Shu 30 years ago.

The Yi people left their hometowns, how could they not hate Shu?
One was poor, the other hated, and together they contributed to the rebellion.

However, they are very poor and have no capital to rebel at all. If they rebel forcibly, it will be the iron hooves of the Shu army and their corpses.

But at this time, a merchant sponsored them.

This person, Zhao Zhi, secretly subsidized a lot of supplies to the Miaojiang area for five years, and also single-handedly planned the plan to seize the city that day.

The reason Zhao Zhi did this is simple.

He is a businessman from the state of Chu. When the king of Shu implemented the new policy, he saw an opportunity, so under the pretense of being a businessman, he actually inquired about the reality of the state of Shu.

Then he advised the king of Chu to help Miao Jiang in the rebellion, and in the name of helping Miao Jiang, enter the land of Bashu, and then he can take down Shu in one fell swoop!
The merit of this strategy is that even if the plan fails, the loss of Chu State will not be great, and all that is lost is the national strength of Shu State.

So the king of Chu agreed to this suggestion, and then Zhao Zhi funded Miao Jiang.

But he also found out that Yangxu City is too hard, not to mention people like Miao Jiang, even if the Chu army came in person, they would still have two teeth broken.

In order for the plan to proceed smoothly and for Wang Han to relax his vigilance, he spent a lot of effort, it took him four years!

Even though Zhao Zhi was a businessman from the state of Chu, he had heard of Wang Han's name. He was a prudent and guarded man. If he didn't cooperate with the inside and the outside, Yangxu City would not be able to be taken down at all.

Fortunately, the plan succeeded, the defenders were killed, and after the city gate was opened, the Miao army entered, and all the remaining defenders were killed.

The only bad thing is that Zhao Zhi wants to save Wang Han's life. This is a talent. If it can be used by Chu State, it will be a blessing for Chu State.

It's a pity that those people in Miao Jiang hated him so much that they killed him directly.

People cannot be resurrected after death, although they are dissatisfied, the plan must continue.

Yangxu City was taken down, and the next step was to report the matter to the King of Chu.

Organize the secret letter, hand it over to your confidant, and order him to send it to Chu State as quickly as possible.

Next, it depends on the actions of the Chu State. He just needs to find a way to get the Miao soldiers to agree to meet the Chu army.

So he specially prepared this banquet, one is to win over his heart, and the other is to test the bottom line of these people.

Zhao Zhi pushed open the door, his brows twitched, and before he could test the bottom line of this group of people, this group of people had already touched his bottom line.

Before his master arrived, several big men had already started eating and drinking, and their food tables were in a mess.

Although there was dissatisfaction in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, Zhao Zhi saluted several people and said, "Generals, it's late to come down."

"What kind of general is not a general, sir, sit down quickly."

A man waved his hand, a bone hit the ground, and said something to Zhao Zhi.

Who is the master?

Frowning again, Zhao Zhi took a deep breath, endured it, and came to the master's seat and sat down.

After the man finished speaking, he took a sip of the wine and said cheerfully: "It's the first time I've had such a good wine. It's strange for you to say that this surname is Wang. He doesn't drink any wine. Let me drink it, haha Ha ha!"

Eating good food and drinking good wine, these people have never been so happy.

When Wang Han's army marched towards Yangxu City, their spines felt chills. Three years ago, they wanted to cooperate with Kang Guo to attack, but it turned out that Wang Han didn't move at all, so these people didn't dare to move.

Now that Wang Han is dead, they are counted ashore.

The men in Miaojiang don't know how to beat around the bush, they say whatever they want, the voices are relatively loud during the banquet, and the topics are all about arresting a few beautiful women in Sichuan...

Zhao Zhi looked at this group of big bosses, and suddenly felt that Wang Han was not so unpleasant.

"Generals, do you have any plans for the next step?"

Enduring the discomfort, Zhao Zhi cupped his hands at the rough guys.

"?Next step?"

Putting down the wine bowl, several people in the room looked at each other, laughed, and one of them said: "Of course it's Zitong. When we rest, we will sweep across Sichuan!"

"..."

Zhao Zhi looked around, but no one objected to this, so he couldn't help asking: "Miaojiang soldiers beat the Shu army?"

"What do you mean by that?"

A man doesn't like this sentence, so he has to go up and teach Zhao Zhi a lesson and show him what a Miao Jiang soldier is!

"Second!"

The leading man stopped the man, laughed at Zhao Zhi, and said, "We people are straightforward, sir, don't be offended."

This person's name is Zheng Song, and he is regarded as the leader of the Miao army.

After speaking, Zheng Song picked up the long sword behind him and slapped it on the table, saying: "This is the sword of the Shu army. We couldn't fight it at first, but we can fight it if we get these!"

Although Zhao Zhi had some strategies, he was not familiar with the art of war. Seeing a few people like this, he thought about it.

Let these few try the depth of the Shu army.

If they are not victorious, it is logical to let them welcome the Chu army into Shu. If they win... Zhao Zhi thinks the possibility is very small.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhi picked up his wine glass and said to several people: "Then I wish all the generals success."

As he spoke, he was about to drink it all in one gulp, but before he could think about it, a hand suddenly stopped him.

Turning his head to look, he saw that the owner of this hand was the one who wanted to teach him a lesson.

What is he doing? ?
For this group of savages who didn't follow the routine, Zhao Zhi was really uncertain.

As soon as Zhao Zhi finished speaking, the man smiled honestly and said, "Cups don't help, use bowls!"

As he spoke, he poured a bowl of wine for Zhao Zhi, handed it to Zhao Zhi, and said, "It was our fault just now, I will apologize to you."

After finishing speaking, he made a bowl first, and the surroundings applauded.

Looking at the bowl that was bigger than his own face, Zhao Zhi fell silent...
