In the afternoon, Jiang Heng sat in the hall in a daze, and drew a map of Zhang Ziyubi for thousands of miles south of the Pass, bypassing Luoyang and Lingshan, and made a few marks.
It has been more than a month since he came to Jeju, and the autumn sun is shining brightly, which is very different from the foggy weather in Cangshan, but in this high autumn weather, it always makes people drowsy, tired and unwilling to move.
While thinking about it, the arrival of Prince Ling interrupted Jiang Heng's thinking.
"I know Mr. Luo, I still have something to say today." Prince Ling said.
"His Royal Highness, please take a seat." Jiang Heng replied, noting that Prince Ling had brought Sun Ying over as well.
Prince Ling said: "There are only you, me, and Mr. Sun at the moment. Mr. Luo, if you have something to say, please speak bluntly."
Sun Ying was carrying a jug and was drunk. Seeing that, he just wanted to bump into the gardener, but the gardener ducked and left the courtyard wisely.
Jiang Heng thought for a while, spread out the paper on the case, Sun Ying looked sideways, and suddenly laughed.
"Then I'm welcome," Jiang Heng said to Prince Ling, "If there is any offense, please forgive me."
"Mr. Sun said today's 'cutting the cross', which is the Yong Kingdom." Jiang Heng said.
Prince Ling was stunned for a moment, but Sun Ying laughed and replied, "Yes! That's right!"
Jiang Heng looked at Princeling, but Princeling did not answer.
"It doesn't matter whether it is suitable or not." Prince Ling asked back, "Mr. Luo really thinks that Yonghui is in an alliance with his own country? What conditions do we have to make a deal with Juicong?"
Jiang Heng said: "This is another premise. Only if this premise exists, will Yong Guo agree to our alliance proposal. That is, I don't think they will attack Laoshan."
Jiang Heng and Sun Ying exchanged glances, both of them tacitly agree that they are both smart people. Sun Ying must have long thought that Yong Guo’s aggressiveness this time was not the target of Zheng Guo, and Jiang Heng also believed that as long as Juicy Cong’s The target is not Zheng Guo, everything is easy to say.
Jiang Heng spread out the hand-drawn map and gestured to Prince Ling: "I guess their real destination is to cross the ruined Luoyang, go straight to Song County, expand the country, and establish the first stronghold in the Central Plains."
Sun Ying patted his leg and replied, "That's right! Song County is an unowned land, surrounded by mountains and waters, with Luoyang in the back, and Yingdi in the south. If you get this place, you will be able to hold the intersection of Ying, Liang, and Zheng. , you can send troops from here to attack any country."
Jiang Heng said: "When Yong's troops enter the pass, all countries must be facing great enemies, but no one is willing to take the lead in sending troops to block them, keeping a wait-and-see attitude. This is the best time for them to seize Songxian County. Juiciao led 25,000 cavalry. , the rapid march can reach Songxian in three days. There are 3,000 troops in Songxian, and there will be almost no resistance."
Prince Ling said: "Song County is the fief of the emperor. Although Ji Xun collapses, Songdi does not belong to any country. The occupation of the Yong country here is indeed not an invasion of the territory of various countries. Well, there is no reason for everyone to attack Yong. After that? How do you think you should deal with it?"
Jiang Heng said: "Arrange the defense in advance, and let General Che lead 50,000 people out of Songguan, ready to cut off the back road of Juiciao at any time. In this way, as long as the capital Luoyang is guarded, Song County will inevitably become a lonely army."
"but!"
After speaking, Jiang Heng increased his tone and said, "General Che's troops must be very careful. If this is Yong Guo's tactic to lure the enemy, after the front line is opened, it is very likely that the army will be turned against by Jumiao. Going back and trapping Luoyang will be very troublesome. Therefore, I suggest that the general only send a small number of garrison troops to defend Luoyang, and the large army should be ambushed on all sides outside the city to respond."
Sun Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "This chain plan is too complicated, Mr. Luo, I guess the Yong people are not so smart."
Jiang Heng reminded: "This is not necessarily true." He also drew the terrain on all sides of Luoyang, and said: "General Che can let some of his troops ambushed in the Lingshan Canyon. As a result, more than half of the elites of the Yong Army's forwards will definitely be damaged, and their vitality will be greatly damaged."
Sun Ying thought for a long time and said, "But there are 100,000 people behind them. Those who should come will come sooner or later."
"As long as this step is disrupted," Jiang Heng said, "if we have the first move, we can naturally negotiate an alliance. Zheng and Yong can form an alliance on the condition that... divide the Liang kingdom."
Prince Ling said: "Carve up Liang Kingdom? Mr. Luo, are you serious?"
Jiang Heng said: "That's right. The secret meeting of Juicyong, the king of Liang's capital Anyang, and the surrounding areas, along the An River as a boundary, are assigned to Yong, east of Zhaoshui, along the lower reaches of the Yellow River, all belong to Zheng, and Zheng State uses 'protection' In the name of the Liang people, they will be included in the border. In this way, the Zheng and Yong kingdoms will both expand, the Dai kingdom will not gain the slightest benefit, and the alliance with Yong that has not yet been formed will definitely collapse."
Prince Ling frowned deeply, but Sun Ying looked at Jiang Heng sympathetically and shook his head. Jiang Heng naturally understood Sun Ying's deep meaning: he would not agree.
"His Royal Highness is a person of shame," Sun Ying sneered. "It is impossible to annex a neighboring country, and he is also an in-law of his mother's clan, watching the royal family of Liang being trampled on by Juicong's iron hoofs."
The night before January, Jiang Heng had carefully analyzed Mr. Ghost in the division.
To unify the world, it is bound to start from the Zheng Kingdom. And the first battle to unify the world is bound to be the battle of Yubi Pass, and the Yong Kingdom is the first to be resolved, taking advantage of the hostility and hatred of the world against the Yong Kingdom.
However, there was still a slight deviation in his cognition of Zheng Guo, and the biggest deviation was in Prince Ling. His ambition was not as big as he thought, or, in other words, his city was deeper than he thought, and he was reluctant to reveal his ambition easily.
"Next," Jiang Heng still didn't give up, "the five kingdoms became the four kingdoms. In a violent storm, the two kingdoms of Zheng and Yong were able to take the lead. But I bet that the kingdom of Yong would never be able to govern their new territory, outside the Great Wall. There are two places with Sainei. They will face two choices, one: to evacuate the Liang people out of the pass in large numbers, and bring them to Yongdu Luoyan.
"No matter which one you choose," Jiang Heng explained, watching Prince Ling who was pacing beside him, "Anyang will not always belong to Yong, Zheng Liang borders, and it is easy to instigate a rebellion. What Yong people think, just Like naive and unworldly children, His Royal Highness can send back Liang Renmen and let them go to Anyang to serve as officials, and let them incite Liang Ren and try to restore the country."
"I can't do it." Prince Ling didn't even listen to Jiang Heng's words, and said, "Taking advantage of people's dangers and collaborating with tigers and wolves is not a kingly way."
Sun Ying got the expected answer, stood up on his knees, and replied, "Since that's the case, Your Highness doesn't need to worry, even if we don't move, then what kind of juicy kid will never come to Mount Wei. "
"So," Jiang Heng said seriously, "there is still a second way to go. Your Highness, if you don't want to form an alliance with Juicong, you should take advantage of this exit to keep him in the pass, so that he can never return to Yong. All."
Saying that, Jiang Heng made a "kill" action and raised his eyebrows at Prince Ling: "It's good to get rid of it, whether it's juice or juice, otherwise once Song County is annexed by him, he will sit and watch him eat away the entire Liang Kingdom. the only result."
Prince Ling looked at Jiang Heng and said, "Mr. Luo, this is exactly what I came here for. Do you remember what I asked for a month ago?"
Sun Ying sighed, Jiang Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Prince Ling in confusion.
Prince Ling said in a low voice, "Mr. Sun first proposed this plan. Are you willing to assassinate Juicong for me? Is this method feasible?"
Jiang Heng: "…"
Jiang Heng never expected that Prince Ling's strategy would be so direct and simple.
Sun Ying said: "This plan is not out of the blue, Mr. Luo, you know that the northern part is led by Julang and Juicong in the past. Although the prince Taki is the direct son of the royal family of Juice, his foundation is not stable after all."
"I know." After Jiang Heng passed the initial shock, he immediately accepted the plan calmly, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, "The situation of the ethnic groups outside the Great Wall is extremely complicated. , accounting for 60% of the Yong people. When Ju Cong died, the prince Taki was unable to unite the whole country, and the various ethnic groups would immediately declare their separation and return to their hometowns. Even the ethnic groups that had a deep hatred with the Yong people would take the opportunity to overthrow the Juicy royal family. ."
"Well," said Sun Ying, "in this way, Yong Guo's threat will be self-defeating."
"It's a solution." Jiang Heng said, "But with my ability, I'm afraid... it's not easy to do."
Prince Ling said: "Before I came, I had a special discussion with Mr. Sun. The alliance plan proposed by Mr. Luo actually gave us hope for what we did next. Let's discuss it first."
With that said, Prince Ling got up, walked to the door, caught a glimpse of the guards guarding outside, and ordered, "Go outside the courtyard, and don't let anyone in."
Zero Point Reading Network
The guard nodded and left, and Prince Ling closed the door himself.
That night, after Prince Ling and Sun Ying left, Jiang Heng took out the curled sword and pondered.
The sword body shook a little, and it was like a wave of water, rippling in the room. Wherever the sword wind passed, the curtain flew and was cut off by the ruthless wind.
This was far beyond Jiang Heng's expectations. He thought that he should be the trusted advisor to Prince Ling, but he didn't want to become his secret assassin.
Really feel absurd, Sun Ying's idea for him? Jiang Heng remembered what Luo Xuan once said about the five major assassins in the world: Geng Yuan, his father, Xiang Zhou, Jie Gui, Luo Xuan and the mysterious guest.
Will Sun Ying be a mystery guest? When Jiang Heng listened to Prince Ling talking about the details of the assassination in detail today, he couldn't help feeling that the inheritance of his father's business was really doomed by fate. Even if his specialty is not martial arts, he cannot escape the fate of this assassin.
The next day, Prince Ling came again in person, this time with another warrior. I saw that the warrior was wearing a brocade robe, with a heroic appearance and a straight body.
"His name is Zhao Qi," Prince Ling said. "He is a distant relative of my mother's uncle's family. When my mother passed away, he guarded her at the Wangling. Now I have sent him to you, and you can send him at will. Zhao Qi, you Serving Young Master Luo must be the same as serving me."
Jiang Hengzheng wanted to say no, but seeing Princeling insisted, it was inconvenient to let down his good intentions.
Prince Ling glanced sideways at Zhao Qi, and Zhao Qi knelt down on one knee towards Jiang Heng and gave a salute of loyalty to the royal family. Since Jiang Heng had already agreed to Prince Ling's assassination plan, he was a state scholar according to the etiquette.
Although he did not want to play for Zheng Guo in this way. But all of this is like a horse that has lost its rein, and there is no room for negotiation.
"In these days," said Prince Ling, "please don't be distracted, sir, Sun Ying will make arrangements."
"Your Highness." Jiang Heng said suddenly.
Prince Ling raised his eyebrows at Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng wanted to say, with what I have learned, it is really a waste for you to let me be an assassin. But in the end he didn't say anything, just smiled, waved his hand, and didn't say any more.
The plan of Prince Ling and Sun Ying inherited the first half of "Luo Heng". He ordered Che Tzu to secretly send troops to Laoshan, cut off the back road of "Juicong", and left Juicong who came later at Yubi Pass, and then personally led his advisers to negotiate with Juicong to discuss the details of dividing up the Liang Kingdom.
Then, Sun Ying will cooperate with Jiang Heng to assassinate Juicong at the negotiation meeting.
Many years ago, the two brothers of the Ju clan placed a chess piece beside Bi Jie, the king of Liang.
Jiang Heng finally agreed to Prince Ling's proposal - he could only agree.
He knew in his heart that this was the condition for the 120,000 people to save their lives. From the day he first saw Prince Ling's eyes, he vaguely felt that Prince Ling had been looking for a suitable assassin like him for a long time.
Sun Ying may be his first target, but this person is not suitable, or not completely suitable.
So he waited for his appearance.
Jiang Heng never thought that the first person to kill after this finger-circling soft fell into his hands was actually Juicong, the Juicong who had a good relationship with his father during his lifetime and was like a sibling.
"Young Master, please order at any time if you need it." Zhao Qi's voice broke the silence in the house.
Jiang Heng returned to his senses and glanced at Zhao Qi, expecting that Prince Ling sent this person to his side, not only for serving, but also for the purpose of surveillance.
But he didn't point it out and asked, "Where are you from?"
"Reporting to the young master," Zhao Qi said, "I am from Yue."
The Yue people are all masters of martial arts and live in the industry of the rivers and lakes. The country of Yue was once a big country in the east. More than 50 years ago, the Zheng Kingdom attacked Yue and annexed Yue, and the Yue people became Zheng Min or wandered outside.
"How many people are in the family?" Jiang Heng thought of his mother who was still treating her illness in Yuedi. If it was her, he might have killed the Prince Ling with a sword first.
Zhao Qi replied, "Without father and mother, I am the only one."
Zhao Qi doesn't look like a Yueren at all, Yueren has a graceful face and a stream of water vapor, but Zhao Qi has thick eyebrows and big eyes. spirit.
"People always have parents." Jiang Heng said softly.
Zhao Qi replied: "I don't know, they are all dead. What does the son need from me?"
Jiang Heng said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, you just sit."
Zhao Qi said: "You always need to do something for the son, otherwise you will always sit and feel uneasy."
Jiang Heng said hesitantly: "Then... you can do whatever you want, don't pay attention to me, let me be quiet."
The personal guard that Prince Ling sent for him was very loyal. After all, he needed someone to serve him when he changed clothes, washed his clothes, made his bed and served food. In the past, Luo Xuan took care of almost everything for him, Jiang Heng never had any doubts, and now he always has to learn to take care of himself.
Sun Yingchao promised him that if the assassination fails, he will do his best to protect him from escape. Next, Zheng Guo will be ready to face Yong's anger.
What if it succeeded? Jiang Heng rehearsed repeatedly in his heart, stabbing Juicong, if Juicong died, he would immediately become famous in the world. I just didn't expect that he would become famous in such a way, greatly breaking away from the idea of leaving Cangshan and joining the WTO. But in this way, he will definitely have a very high status in Zheng Kingdom - and then he will have to convince Prince Ling, let him start the general strategy of unifying China, and then there will be no obstacles.
Is it just that the princeling is really worth entrusting? Jiang Heng couldn't help but start to shake.
