Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

In this situation, Li Zhao's poems flourished, and he chanted a poem: "The water of the Yangtze River is like a mountain axe, and the two walls of the surging Qutang are open." The wall stands on the hanging plank road, and the thunder and thousands of drums come. Xia Fei red armor red makeup, the moon reflects the salt mountain snow white. Bashu Zhongling is handsome, and Jingxiang has cultivated talents since ancient times.

Shi Ai and the others looked surprised, they couldn't imagine that Li Zhao still had such literary talent.

Shen Ning praised: "This poem is excellent, the king can be martial and literate, and the last general will admire it."

But this sentence "the moon reflects the snow white of the salt mountain", everyone did not understand, it is daytime, where is the moon? Could it be that the king of Qin once visited Qutang Pass on a moonlit night.

Li Zhao faced Qutang Gorge and stood with his hands in his hands, with a modest smile on his face; how could he have this level, of course, he was "plagiarized." I wanted to chant again, but I was worried about revealing the stuffing, so I gave up.

"Heng Zhuo has continued to attack Qutang Pass in the past few days?" Li Zhao asked.

Shi Ai said: "In the past two days, the Qi army has stopped a little, but the last general estimates that in a few days, the Qi army will attack."

Li Zhao saw Shi Ai's calm expression, and it seemed that the pressure was not great.

"The last general urged the craftsmen, there are more than 120 warships of all kinds, and they can go out of Qutang Pass at any time to start a war with the Qi army. "

Not bad. "There

are more than 20,000 people, all of whom are familiar with water and can skillfully operate ships. "

Hmm. Li Zhao nodded with satisfaction.

In the general's view, the narrow waterways in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River are not suitable for water warfare. The main role of warships is to transport troops or food.

"Although what you said is true, there must always be someone to lead the navy, and you can recommend someone to this king. Li Zhao asked.

Shi Ailuo was a little hesitant, there were a few people in the original Qutang Pass garrison who had good skills. But he was worried that if he recommended it to Li Zhao, it would arouse Li Zhao's suspicion.

When Shi Ai was transferred out of Chengdu, he actually knew the real reason behind it. Not long after leaving, the 50,000 troops under his command were quickly transferred or merged into other units.

Seeing that Li Zhao was looking at him in Dingding, Shi Ai said out of his duty: "Wei Xian and Sun Caisheng, the former generals of Qutang Pass, have commanded the Qi State Naval Army before, and the king can see them.

"Are these two willing to serve this king?" asked Li Zhao.

"Wei Xian is no problem, after Qutang Pass was broken by Liu Beichen, Wei Xian quickly surrendered. Sun Caisheng was a little hesitant, although he finally dropped, but this person's attitude was not positive on weekdays. "

These two, who has stronger skills?"

"Wei Xian is stronger than Sun Caisheng. Shi Ai said decisively.

Li Zhao smiled, he thought that Sun Caisheng was more powerful.

"Sun Caisheng is gone, and he will be transferred to Yandao County (Ya'an) to be a master, and don't let him lead the troops in the future. "

The ability is not as good as others, and there is a stinky shelf, Li Zhao is naturally too lazy to take care of it.

"The last will obey.

Li Zhao called Wei Xian later, and when he saw this person, he was slightly stunned. Wei Xian is slightly older than Li Zhao, but his skin is white and tender, his appearance is extremely high, and he is a typical handsome guy. In his previous life, if he acted in a movie, he would be a proper actor.

No matter ancient or modern, having a good skin is more likely to arouse the favor of others.

"The last general, Wei Xian, meet the king. Wei Xian bowed.

"No need to be polite. Li Zhao quipped: "General Wei's appearance, his wife and concubine, I'm afraid I won't worry about you going out."

Wei Xian was a little embarrassed, Li Zhao was not wrong, every time he went out, there was always a group of women staring at him, and even some women took the initiative to come forward to talk; Wei Xian was helpless and was forced to go out with a hood.

"Let the king see it.

Li Zhao said: "Listen to Shi Ai, you not only help train the navy, but also are willing to lead the navy to the battle."

Wei Xian's expression was straight, "According to the king's military order, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, the last general will be indomitable." Wei

Xian was loyal to Li Zhao, not only because he had more than a dozen wives and concubines, twenty-six children, and needed to support the whole family, but also because he had a lot to do with Shi Ai.

During the time he spent with Shi Ai, Wei Xian had a good impression of him.

Li Zhao saw that Wei Xian's demeanor did not seem to be fake, and he was also relieved.

Like Li Zhao, Shen Ning had been observing Wei Xian from the side, and had a private conversation with Shi Ai, knowing that this person was available, and his mood was much more relaxed.

There was still more than a month to go before the army set out, and he still had a lot of work to do.

Li Zhao and Shen Ning talked in detail, and it is best to advance the front to Jingxiang and Hunan within a year. In this way, the foundation of the Qi country can be shaken.

....................................................

On the Yangtze River, hundreds of ships of all kinds, loaded with more than 100,000 Qi troops, as well as a large amount of grain, grass, and ordnance, accelerated towards Hanzhong.

Zhang Yanxia stood at the bow of the boat, blowing the river breeze, and his mood was complicated.

Liu Zhijie said that the Zhaowu army would definitely leave Qutang Pass, and Zhang Yanxia believed Liu Zhijie's judgment, but the current situation was that the gate of Qutang Pass was closed and there was no sign of sending troops.

Since the Zhaowu army is not attacking, it is impossible for the Qi army to wait stupidly.

In the depths of his heart, Zhang Yanxia always firmly believed that there must be other roads to enter Shudi. The land of Shu is so big, and there is no wall to block it, it is impossible to find a new road. Zhang Yanxia has sent a large number of spies to investigate.

In his opinion, instead of entering Hanzhong, it is better to attack Shu in a big way and go straight to Chengdu.

However, because of Li Zhao's claim to be king, the government and the opposition, including Emperor Jiang Ningxian, couldn't wait to eliminate Li Zhao as soon as possible. Zhang Yanxia wanted to prepare for a few more days in Jinling, but Jiang Ningxian sent people many times to urge him to send troops as soon as possible. Hengzhuo's attack on Qutang Pass was not smooth, and Zhang Yanxia could only lead his troops to Hanzhong.

After entering the Han River (Hanshui), the fleet in front reported that there were dozens of iron chains on the river, and it was impossible to move forward for a while.

Zhang Yanxia was just about to send someone to cut the iron chain, when a large number of arrows and oil canisters suddenly attacked the Qi army fleet on both sides of the strait.

Qi Jingyun had already laid an ambush on both sides of the strait, and this time he used 5,000 crossbowmen, including 200 bed crossbows. Strive to eliminate more Qi troops in the shortest possible time.

In an instant, many soldiers on board were shot by arrows, or the ship was on fire.

Zhang Yanxia's face changed slightly, and he decisively ordered the crossbowmen to launch a counterattack on both sides of the strait, and at the same time urgently ordered some ships to dock, and the soldiers disembarked to attack the Zhaowu army on the shore.

What annoyed Zhang Yanxia was that more than a dozen ships had caught fire, and the fire was fierce and could not be extinguished, and the grain and grass on board were completely lost.

Seeing the Qi army approaching, Qi Jingyun continued to attack while slowly retreating. The back road has already been arranged, and there is no fear of being caught up by the Qi army.

After controlling the two sides of the strait, Zhang Yanxia once again sent someone to cut the iron chains.

I never thought that the chain was stronger than I thought. Even if it is scorched with fire, it cannot be easily cut with a giant axe.
