    Chapter 2598: Li Jing: Zhang Yi, you TMD, even your own people are planning


    Yangping Pass, Qin army camp.


    Since the 100,000 Yongliang Qin army arrived at Yangping Pass in batches, it has been building various siege fortifications outside the pass.


    But the catapult cart has been set up long ago, the well railing has been assembled, and all kinds of siege crossbows have been placed in appropriate positions, but the Qin army can''t see the siege.


    After seeing this, Zhang Ren breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Qin army should just pretend to behave and would not really attack Yangping Pass, but he still did not dare to relax his vigilance.


    Not only Zhang Ren, many people in Shu Kingdom think that the Qin Dynasty will not really fight this time.


    After all, for Daqin, which is expanding its army, now is obviously not a good time to start a war.


    The Shu Kingdom even wanted the Qin army to attack Hanzhong and hit the head and burst into blood under Yangping Pass, but the Qin Dynasty obviously would not be so stupid that it would make Shu Kingdom happy.


    Therefore, most people in Shu Kingdom, including Liu Yu, think that the Qin Dynasty should just pretend to show it to the people of the world, and this time it is likely that it will not really start a fight.


    So is Qin Jun really just pretending? It cannot be said that it is not.


    Li Jing tried hard to pretend to be ready to start a war at any time, but instead made Shu think that the Qin army would not start a war.


    The 100,000 Qin troops in front of Yangping Pass were actually ready to go, and the reason why they were still uncontrollable was just waiting for news from Zhang Yi.


    "Governor-General, Lord Zhang''s flying pigeon has been sent back."


    “Come on here quickly.”


    Li Jing, who has always been calm, rarely showed excitement after hearing this news. After receiving the letter, he immediately opened it and browsed it.


    Wu Qi, Long Qi, Yang Jian, Sima Cuo, Sun Chongjin, Li Maozhen, Hua Xiong and other generals also looked expectant. After all, whether to fight in this battle depends mainly on Zhang Yi''s letter.


    The generals of Yongzhou naturally want to fight. After all, for them, Hanzhong is a hurdle that must be overcome sooner or later. If they can overcome it at this time, when the war of unification is launched in the future, the pressure on them will be much less, so it is better to fight early than to fight late.


    After reading it, Li Jing locked down the third piece of letter paper, passed the first and second piece with a expressionless face, letting the generals circulate it, and then closed his eyes and began to ponder.


    When the generals saw Li Jing''s expression, their hearts suddenly stumbled, and they all rushed up and rushed to watch.


    Seeing that all the generals surrounded him, Wu Qi had the intention of posting to him, so he could not bear this, so he could only squeeze out and recite it loudly for everyone.


    Zhang Yi wrote this letter very vaguely, and there were a lot of official words in it, which was vague and people who were not well educated really couldn''t understand it, so many big men didn''t understand it after Wu Qi finished reading it.


    Long Yinghu scratched his head and asked with a confused look on his face: "What does Lord Zhang Yi mean? The Southern Barbarians are willing to send troops, and they will not send troops without sending troops. Is this sending troops or not?"


    "Don''t you understand?"


    Yang Jian didn''t want to see the Dragon Beard and Tiger embarrassing here, so he lowered the standard of his Yuqing Sect, so he quickly explained: "In short, the Southern Barbarian King agreed to send troops, but the condition was that our army would go to war with the Shu army first, attracting the main force of the Shu army to Hanzhong."


    When Long and Hu heard that the Nanman agreed to send troops, he didn''t care about Yang Jian''s later words. He smiled and said in a naive way: "Hey, that''s just one sentence, but Lord Zhang wrote a full three pages of paper, and literati are troublesome.


    Um? Wait, do we want our army to start the war first? ”


    Even if Long and Beard Tiger are not smart, they know that if the Qin army starts war with the Shu army first and attracts all the Shu army to Hanzhong, the difficulty of the Qin army to capture Hanzhong will be greatly increased. Even if they can successfully conquer Hanzhong in the end, they will definitely pay several times the original casualties.


    If the main forces of the Shu army are mostly attracted to Hanzhong, then the southern Shu area will definitely be empty, and it will be much less difficult for the Southern Barbarians to capture southern Shu.


    The Qin army wanted to use the Southern Barbarians to restrain the Shu army to seize Hanzhong, but the Southern Barbarians also wanted to use the Qin Dynasty to seize southern Shu.


    As soon as he thought of this, all the generals present were a little angry, and Hua Xiong even cursed: "The Southern Barbarians are just ungrateful wolves who are not well-off. They took so many benefits from my Daqin, so he refused to do anything. Instead, they wanted to use my Daqin."


    Hearing Hua Xiong''s words, Tu Xingsun, Wu Ji, Kang Anyu and other generals who were also angry also echoed the Southern Barbarians'' ungratefulness.


    "Which **** proposed the foreign policy towards the Southern Barbarians? The Southern Barbarians have taken so many advantages in vain. Where can I use this money? Uh..."


    Before Tu Xingsun finished speaking, Yang Ren covered his mouth.


    Yang Ren gritted his teeth in his ear and said in a low voice: "Junior brother, stop talking nonsense."


    Tu Xingsun broke free and was still angry: "Why am I talking nonsense? It''s not good to use this money? It''s a waste of money and the Nanman rolled his eyes..."


    Before Tu Xingsun finished speaking, he found that the generals looked at him with strange eyes, and Yang Ren and Yang Jian also looked completely speechless.


    Bukit pulled Latu Xingsun and whispered: "The foreign policy towards the Southern Barbarians was proposed by His Majesty himself."


    Tu Xingsun: “…”


    Why didn’t you say it earlier? Tu Xingsun roared in his heart, why is he the only one who doesn’t know about this?


    Although Tu Xingsun was short, his little brother was strong. After being appointed as the commander of the Yishuang Army by Li Jing, his military rank and salary were greatly increased.


    He was suppressed for too long before, and after being powerful, he naturally had to enjoy it, so he caused many disasters to the major brothels in Chang''an.


    Unlike Yang Jian, Yang Ren and others, they only care about enjoyment and indulge in their official duties, so how could they pay attention to the specific foreign policy of the Qin Dynasty?


    "Uh, that one, I drank too much yesterday and haven''t woken up yet."


    Tu Xingsun beat up and made a quibble with an awkward look on his face, "Brother just now, I''m talking drunkenly, so don''t care."


    All the generals looked at Tu Xingsun speechlessly. Do you believe what you said?


    At this moment, Li Jing above opened his eyes and said lightly: "Tu Xingsun violated the ban, drank alcohol in the army, and was punished fifty in the pole to serve as a warning to others."


    When Tu Xingsun heard this, he was not only not surprised, but was overjoyed. After all, the crime of drinking in the army is much less than criticizing the emperor. The Grand Governor intends to protect himself. "Thank you, the general, I will never dare to drink again."


    Tu Xingsun said with a flattering look on his face, and then he was pulled out to blame him.


    Looking at Tu Xingsun who was pulled out, Li Jing''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch. He looked at Yang Jian, Yang Ren and others below, and they all looked speechless. Obviously, they were all embarrassed by Tu Xingsun''s performance.


    Li Jing was also a little confused. The Yuqing School’s standard for recruiting disciples was so high, why did he reveal such a strange thing as Tu Xingsun?


    Tu Xingsun almost lowered the entire Yuqing Sect by himself.


    For Li Jing, Tu Xingsun’s affairs can only be regarded as a small episode. What really made him a headache was the conditions proposed by the Southern Barbarians, and the fact that Zhang Yi, the turtle grandson, dared to secretly plot against him.


    The Qin Dynasty had a very clear attitude towards sending troops this time. If it didn''t fight, it would be a good example for the people of the world. If it fought, the Southern Barbarians must first send troops to control the Shu army in the south, and then the Qin army took Hanzhong County at the lowest cost.


    But now the Southern Barbarians demanded that the Qin army start to fight against the Shu army first on the grounds that the country is weak.


    In this case, although the order is just the opposite, the meaning is completely different for Daqin.


    The Qin Dynasty was acceptable to fight or not. The reason why Zhang Yi was sent to the Southern Barbarians was just to try the best possible possibility. Even if it failed, it didn''t matter.


    The Yongliang army headed by Li Jing from the beginning to the end was the one who really wanted to start the war.


    But now if the order of dispatching troops is reversed, the situation after the war will most likely evolve into that the Qin Dynasty spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but in the end it was nothing.


    Even if you can conquer Hanzhong, it will definitely be extremely costly and the gain will not be worth the loss. Instead, it will make the Southern Barbarian fishermen profitable and get a big advantage in vain.


    Li Jing was naturally aware of this, but the third piece of letter paper he detained and no one looked at, which was Zhang Yi''s advice to him.


    In the letter, Zhang Yi asked Li Jing to look at the long-term, not to be limited to Hanzhong, but to look at the whole world.


    The Qin Dynasty sent troops first. Although it would benefit the Southern Barbarian Fisherman, it could also pull the Southern Barbarians into the water. This is a good thing for the Qin Dynasty and a major plan to unify the world.


    From Li Jing''s overall view, he naturally knew that this was a good thing, and it was indeed conducive to the unification of the country, and it was beneficial to the Qin Dynasty and the Southern Barbarians, and the only thing that would harm was the interests of the Yongliang Group.


    Li Jing is now the Grand Governor of Yongliang, representing the interests of Yongliang''s collective, and with the Yongliang military, they both prosper and lose.


    Once the Qin army in Yongzhou starts war with Shu, no matter whether it can eventually capture Hanzhong, it will definitely cost a huge price.


    It would be fine if he could defeat Hanzhong, but if he couldn''t defeat it, the Qin Dynasty paid such a great price but failed to get the reward he deserved. Then the Yongliang Group headed by Li Jing would not blame him. As the chief governor, Li Jing must be held accountable.


    Originally, Li Jing was just an executor of the plan. Whether he fought or not, he was just following the orders of the court.


    But after being disturbed by Zhang Yi, Li Jing became the executor of the plan and became the decider of Zhang Yi''s new plan. He had to take risks for Zhang Yi''s plan for no reason.


    Zhang Yi did not report to Luoyang, but directly sent a letter to Li Jing, which was to kidnap Li Jing morally and force Li Jing to make a choice.


    Li Jing could naturally follow the orders of the court and turn a blind eye to Zhang Yi''s plan, so that he and the Yongliang Group would not have any responsibility, but it was not a good thing for the Qin Dynasty and the world.


    Zhang Yi knew that Li Jing was a person who took the overall situation into consideration, and also knew that Li Jing was a gentleman, and only a gentleman could be deceived.


    In order to enable Li Jing to carry forward the spirit of self-sacrifice, Zhang Yi specifically said in the letter that after returning to the court, he would speak well before His Highness, and explained to all civil and military officials that the Yongliang Army sacrificed his ego to achieve the Qin Dynasty.


    But Li Jing didn''t believe a single word about Zhang Yi''s words. After all, if you, Zhang Yi, really have this intention, why did you write this letter so vaguely?


    The wording of Zhang Yi''s letter is too profound and vague. The same sentence, interpreted from different angles, is completely different.


    In Li Jing''s opinion, this is a manifestation of not wanting to take responsibility, and it is also what makes him most angry.


    Your Zhang Yi planned the incident, but he left himself clean. He didn''t have to take responsibility, but let the Yongliang military take the blame. Half of the credit will be yours.


    That is, Li Jing is the Grand Governor of Yongliang. If it were Yue Fei, Xue Rengui or Huo Qubing, these commanders with low political attributes would definitely be passionate when Zhang Yi fooled him, and he would shout that he would sacrifice his own interests for the great cause of the unification of the Qin Dynasty?


    Little did they know that this was just their self-motivation. They were still counting money for Zhang Yi when they were sold.


    At this time, in Li Jing''s heart, Zhang Yi had no image at all, and she was just a sinister and despicable villain.


    If Zhang Yi knew that she just wanted to show her literary talent, but was misunderstood by Li Jing that she wanted to cut off her responsibilities, she would probably regret wasting so much.


    Among the Yongliang Qin army, except for Li Jing, only Wu Qi saw Zhang Yi''s plan.


    Wu Qi was calm on the surface, but he was secretly scolding Zhang Yi as a mad dog in his heart. He didn''t even let him go when he started to be crazy. Who did their Yongliang army provoke whom? Will you be so scheming by Zhang Yi?


    After all the generals left, only Wu Qi stayed and said to Li Jing with a serious look on his face: "Grandmaster, Zhang Yi is so bad. Will our Yongliang Army jump in this pit he dug?"


    Hearing Wu Qi''s words, Li Jing knew that he could see it, and gritted his teeth and said, "Jumping is a good thing that is conducive to unity, why not jump?"


    Zhang Yi used open conspiracy. Not only did Chi You not refuse, Li Jing also agreed that he could not refuse. Even though he knew that there was a pit ahead, he could only grit his teeth and jump in.


    "But this matter is not over. Zhang Yi, you TMD even plot against your own people, please wait for me."


    In the last sentence, Li Jing almost yelled, which shows that the anger in his heart was plotted against by others. Anyone who had changed would probably be the same as Li Jing.


    But soon Li Jing suppressed the anger in his heart. After all, "not raising an army without anger, not rushing to fight" is common sense.


    "Send the order and prepare to attack the city tomorrow."


    After saying that, a strange look flashed in Li Jing''s eyes and he sneered: "Zhang Yi is too arrogant. If he believes that if the troops are sent first, our Yongliang army will definitely not be able to defeat Hanzhong, so he wants to sacrifice our Yongliang army in exchange for the overall situation of unification.


    But the unification of the world has always been caused by our soldiers, not by you literati.


    I, Li Jing, will tell him Zhang Yi today that I have never lacked Yongliang Army, but I, Yongliang Army, will also be decided in Hanzhong County. ”
