Chapter 563 Taiqing Taoist and Xiaoyaozi

Chapter 562: Taiqing Taoist and Xiaoyaozi

 This day is August 9th, the first year of Zhongping (184).

A fire broke out in Yanmen Pass, killing nearly 100,000 Xiongnu in one fell swoop. As the instigator, Qin Hao was awarded the title of Champion Marquis. From then on, Coal and Stone officially entered the attention of the world.

  Coal and stone, a sharp weapon that is extremely difficult to extinguish once ignited, are one of the materials suitable for fire attacks. Anyone with a little ambition cannot ignore it.

So when Li Shimin learned that the ground in the city was actually black, he immediately thought of coal. After all, there are very few black ores except coal.

And if Hulao Pass is really paved with coal and stone, then the real purpose of Zhang Liang's series of plans is obviously not to delay time.

 He wanted to wipe out 100,000 Han troops! All the Han generals except Qin Hao thought so in their hearts.

 Seeing the horrified expressions of everyone present, Qin Hao knew that Zhang Liang's "empty city plan" was mostly successful, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the powerful intellectual suppression effect of "Sage Seeking".

 Compared with Zhuge Liang's "empty city strategy" of returning to his original nature, Zhang Liang's plan is much more complicated, and there are naturally many loopholes in it.

For example, the pass was clearly full of ambushes, but why did some tempted people escape?

 For example, how did Zhang Liang obtain so much coal and stone in such a short period of time...

With the intelligence of Li Shimin and Yang Jian, it is logically impossible that they could not discover it, but they ignored these details that should not be ignored. This also shows how strong the suppressive effect of "seeking saints" is.

Even talented people like Li Shimin can't resist "seeking saints", and their intelligence has been suppressed to such an extent. Zhang Liang's name of "seeking saints" is really well-deserved. Qin Hao thought secretly.

 “Second brother, what should we do now?”

Li Xiuning frowned and asked. After her intelligence was suppressed by 6 points by the 'Sage Seeker', her brain had fallen into chaos.

Li Shimin did not answer. After frowning and thinking for a while, he asked Qin Hao: "Brother Zixu, you were the first to use the strategy of burning the city with coal and stone. Do you think Zhang Liang is going to repeat it in Hulao Pass?" This plan?"

 After experiencing the return of Long Yuan, Li Shimin's feelings towards Qin Hao have completely changed, and he regards Qin Hao as his confidant in his heart, so he asked Qin Hao for his opinion.

Haven’t you completely fallen into the trap yet? If that's the case, let's give it a try. In order to subdue Zhang Liang, brother Shimin, I can only apologize to you first!

Qin Hao thought with a sneer in his heart, but with a "wry smile" on his face, he said: "The burning of Yanmen Pass was arranged in advance. It was originally just to delay the abandonment of the city, so I am not the only one who can accomplish this feat." force."

Everyone was suddenly enlightened upon hearing this. If Qin Hao hadn't said it himself, who would have known that there were so many things behind "Burning Yanmen Pass".

"The situation in Hulao Pass is completely different now. I don't know whether Zhang Liang can use fire attacks, but if he does use fire attacks, he will definitely have a backup plan. I think it is better to be cautious. "

Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded. Qin Hao's idea coincided with his. Zhang Liang made it clear that he wanted him to gamble, but he couldn't afford the consequences of losing the bet. After all, he, Li Shimin, was just a general, not a king.

At this moment, Li Shimin desperately wanted to have his own power, but he also knew in his heart that it would be impossible in a short time.

 The world today has been divided between the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty has been divided among the major families and princes.

It is impossible for Li Shimin to seek refuge in the Ming Dynasty, and the Li family's background is too shallow, and it is temporarily unable to take food from the mouths of the major princes, so the best way is to rely on Dong Zhuo, the overlord of Kansai. Soon, the real troubled times are not far away, and I, Li Shimin, will definitely have a place then! Li Shimin thought to himself, and the fire of ambition in his eyes kept burning.

If Li Shimin were a monarch now, he would choose to attack without hesitation, but now he is just a general, so he has no choice.

 “The order goes down and the entire army must not move lightly.”

Li Shimin ordered with a gloomy face. He also had a vague hunch in his heart that if he couldn't kill Xiang Yu this time, he might never have a chance in his life.

It is actually not difficult to figure out all this, as long as you find out whether the information passed by the spies is true or false, but this cannot be investigated in a short time, and Zhang Liang also did this time difference.

Seeing that the Han army did not attack, Zhang Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his back was soaked with cold sweat. This was also a big gamble for him. Fortunately, he seemed to have won the gamble.

“The order is passed down, all the soldiers must keep their armor and soldiers in their hands. The Han army will not attack in a short time, but it does not mean that they will not attack. As long as we survive this half day, we will win.”

 Dian Wei Dianjie looked at Zhang Liang who was speaking with admiration. At this moment, Zhang Liang's status in their hearts and even everyone's hearts surpassed that of Xiang Yu.

Without harming anyone's life, a big battle was resolved with just a few words. What an unparalleled warrior in the country! Everyone in Hulao Pass thought so.

In the Han army camp, Li Shimin was waiting anxiously. He hoped that the intelligence from the front could be sent back quickly, because Xiang Yu would have more vitality in less than a second.

“Report to the general, there is a Taoist who wants to see you.”

"No." Li Shimin said impatiently. At this moment, he was not in the mood to see other people, let alone a Taoist priest.

"General, the Taoist said that his Taoist name is Xiaoyaozi, and he is the junior fellow apprentice of Taiqing Taoist."

 “Tai Qing?” Li Shimin’s eyes widened immediately and he said quickly, “I’d like to invite you quickly.”

 No one else in the account knew the meaning of these two titles, but Qin Hao, who had read countless ancient novels, how could he not guess it.

Looking at Li Shimin's attitude, this Taiqing Taoist must be Lao Tzu, and Xiaoyaozi is definitely Zhuang Zhou. What on earth is Zhuang Zhou going to do when he comes here at this time? Qin Hao thought secretly.

At this time, Li Shimin turned to everyone and said calmly: "Everyone, I have some private matters, so please stay away for a while."

Qin Hao was helpless. He originally wanted to see Zhuang Zhou's grace, but Li Shimin's attitude was so tough that he had no choice but to go out with everyone.

Not long after the generals left, a Taoist priest dressed in bohemian clothes slowly walked into the tent. If he hadn't claimed to be a Taoist priest, Li Shimin wouldn't have known that he was a Taoist priest.

After seeing Li Shimin, Zhuang Zhou's secret immediately flashed with light, and then he saluted and said: "Xiaoyaozi pays homage to the sword master Long Yuan."

Li Shimin was shocked, and his eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent, but when he thought of his second uncle, he felt relieved.

Since this Xiaoyaozi knows about Long Yuan, it seems that his status in Taoism is not low! Li Shimin thought to himself.

During the Chinese New Year, I believe other friends are similar to Liu Xiang. Every day they are either paying New Year greetings, visiting relatives, or going to weddings and banquets. I really don’t have the energy to code. Please forgive me and understand!
