Chapter 86 The Arrival of Qu Duan
"Oh, there are three strategies? Please tell me, sir!" Qu Duan said.
In the howling wind, Wang Shu's voice came continuously: "The best policy, general, go to attend the enthronement ceremony of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! After the enthronement of the Crown Prince, the situation in the world gradually stabilized. The Crown Prince is in charge of Hanzhong, Sichuan, Guanshan and other places. When the time comes, the general raids Dasan Pass and enters Hanzhong in the name of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. You will be defeated! The general's Jingyuan army is the most powerful army in the Song Dynasty today. After the end of the war, the general will either assist the crown prince to rule the world, like Guan Zhong and Xiao He, and leave a reputation forever! Or take the emperor to make the princes, and finally even add a yellow robe! This is the best policy. The general will achieve eternal life as a soldier Ba Ye, what do you think, General?"
Qu Duan stayed there for a long time before saying: "No!"
Wang Shu said: "Why not?"
Qu Duan's expression changed, and after a long time, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said: "I never thought of doing this! The army is to deal with foreign enemies, how can it deal with our own people?"
Wang Shu said: "Since that is the case, the general will listen to my best strategy! The best strategy is for the general to wait for the time to move. The general will lead an army of 100,000 people, and he will have a good relationship between King Kang and the prince, and benefit from both parties to strengthen his own strength!" There is bound to be a big battle between King Kang and the prince, and the general just needs to stand by and watch! When two tigers fight, one of them will be wounded, and then it will be your chance, general! No matter who you help, anyone can destroy the other, and the rest The strength of the other party is also severely damaged, so we can only rely on the general! When the time comes, the general will hold a heavy army, and no matter whether it is King Kang or the prince who survives, he will win over the general! The general can be a prince! This is the best strategy!"
After Wang Shu finished speaking, Qu Duan stayed there again! After a while, Qu Duan said: "What's the worst strategy?"
Wang Shu said: "The next policy is to seek refuge with His Highness the Crown Prince! We are in Jingyuan, too far away from the south of the Yangtze River. Even if we want to seek refuge with His Royal Highness Kang Wang, that will not work! After we take refuge with His Highness the Crown Prince, we will protect the northwest for His Highness! As long as we have 100,000 With the army here, no matter whether it is the crown prince or Zhe Keqiu who is in power, everyone must rely on the general! This is a bad policy! If it is only a bad policy, the general is no different from now, just a general in the northwest!"
After thinking for a while, Qu Duan said, "I don't know what to do now!"
Wang Shu said: "The best strategy is to win the world! The middle strategy can also determine the ups and downs of the world! The worst strategy is to maintain the status quo! The general should think about it earlier! Otherwise, time will pass day by day, and even if we want to implement it, it will be too late. !"
The wind was blowing outside, Qu Duan suddenly felt irritable in his heart, he stood up and said: "Let's talk about this matter later! The most important thing is to rush to Hanzhong first! We have rested for so long, let's go! Hurry up Bar!"
At present, Qu Duan urged the army to continue on the road! His Jingyuan Army's military discipline was exceptionally strict. Although the sky was filled with yellow sand, not a single soldier complained, and all the soldiers strode forward!
Qu Duan rode his horse at the front of the army, Wang Shu looked at Qu Duan's back from behind, and couldn't help frowning!
*** ***
They trekked for days, and by June 23rd, they had arrived at Fengxiang Mansion!
Now Fengxiang Mansion is also abnormally dilapidated, and the city is full of empty rooms, Qu Duan and others take a rest here!
On June 25th, they finally arrived at Dasan Pass!
The guards in Dasan Pass had already received the news, and they rushed out to entertain Qu Duan and the others!
It was already afternoon, and Qu Duan and the others did not continue their journey this day!
Qu Duan and Wang Shu came to the tower of Dasan Pass, and they watched the scenery in the distance!
It was midsummer at the moment, and the weather was extremely hot, but Dasanguan was in the mountains, so it was very cool!
The distance is lush and green, and there are mountains and mountains everywhere! Looking to the east, there is the place where Wu Jie and Jin Bing fought a few months ago!
"That's Monk Yuan over there! That's where Wu Jie defeated the Jin soldiers!" Wang Shu said.
Qu Duan nodded, and said: "Wu Jie has some talents! He was originally a subordinate of our Jingyuan Army, and he was under the command of our Jingyuan Army! If he can defeat the Jin soldiers, our Jingyuan Army will be honored!"
Wang Shu said with a smile: "It's a pity that Zhe Keqiu actually robbed him of his achievements! This Zhe Keqiu made people publicize that he personally commanded and defeated the Jin soldiers! If it weren't for us, we were in the northwest and knew the inside story. To be deceived by him!"
Qu Duan shook his head and said: "It's so shameless to ask for such a discount! He can't beat the golden soldiers himself, so he ran away because of the wind, so that's fine, and now he's even robbing other people's credit!"
Wang Shu said: "He is not only brazen, but also short-sighted!"
Qu Duan was taken aback, and said: "Short-sighted? How do you say that?"
Wang Shudao: "Although Zhe Keqiu is a veteran general of the Western Army, Zhe Keqiu is also one of the most important factions of our Western Army, but Zhe Keqiu doesn't have much ability to command troops, and he doesn't have any powerful generals under him! Wu Jie won many with less and defeated the golden soldiers. This is a peerless general! Faced with such a general, he didn’t accept it for his own use, but pushed him into the hands of others! Isn’t this short-sighted? ?”
While looking at the distant scenery, Qu Duan said casually: "He pushed Wu Jie into other people's hands? How do you say that?"
Wang Shu said: "He has robbed Wu Jie of his military exploits, Wu Jie will naturally not be of one mind with him! Now, Wu Jie may have secretly taken refuge in His Highness the Crown Prince! For His Highness the Crown Prince's use!"
Qu Duan nodded and said, "It's possible!"
The two looked at the scenery for a while, and Wang Shu actually took out a few pieces of paper, and kept writing and drawing something on the paper!
Qu Duan was a little surprised, and said, "Wang Shu, what are you doing?"
Wang Shu said: "I want to write down the terrain here! In the future, it may be useful! If the general really follows my best strategy, this Dasan Pass is also a great pass. Only by preparing in advance can we conquer here!"
Qu Duan frowned and said, "I have to think about this matter carefully!"
Wang Shu stared at Qu Duan for a long time, and then sternly said: "General, time is not waiting for me! I hope you make a decision soon! I hope that the general can control the situation of the world, instead of being influenced by the situation of the world!"
Qu Duan felt his mind was in chaos, he waved his hand and said, "I've been here all the way, I'm very tired! I'll sleep on it first, and I'll think about it after I wake up!"
While waving his hands, he had already left Wang Shu behind and strode forward. After a while, he actually came down from the tower and headed towards his residence! Only Wang Shu was left standing there blankly!
The city wall was empty, only Wang Shu was there at the moment! He was sluggish for a long time, and an extremely disappointed expression slowly appeared on his face! He turned around and looked at the mountains in the distance, and burst out laughing! It's just that the laughter is full of grief and unwillingness!
"General Qu is both civil and military, and he is the top general in the Western Army! If he is willing to do great things, with my assistance, he will raid Dashan Pass in the name of the Qing emperor in the future, and enter Hanzhong to destroy it. It is not impossible for the princes to wear a yellow robe! Zhao Kuangyin can be the emperor, and General Qu can also be the emperor! It’s not that I look down on the prince, the prince is too young, and he doesn’t have any power in his hands. It is impossible to defeat the general! I also look down on Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Keqiu has great ambitions and talent, and is mean to others, how can he be compared with the general? What a pity! What a pity!" Wang Shu sighed for a long time.
"In troubled times, without ambition, what's the use of having so many talents? General, general, you are good at everything, but you have no ambition! You have been in Jingyuan Road for 20 years, and you have fought hundreds of Xixia people, big and small, and defeated Xixia many times. Dajun, everyone in the world knows, everyone knows, after the death of Zhong Shidao, you are the number one brave general in the world! You have a strict army, in my opinion, your Jingyuan army has surpassed the Zhong family army back then! You treat the soldiers generously, and all the 100,000 troops are willing to die for you! You are famous in Guanshan, and now you can go to Hanzhong. Yao Gu is dead, and there is no one in Guanshan to check and balance you. You can control it alone. The whole of Guanshan! But, why don’t you have great ambitions? Just stay in Jingyuan City, what future do you have?” Wang Shu felt disheartened!
Standing on the city wall of Dasan Pass, he was extremely confused, not knowing what to do in the future! He wants to assist the real king to achieve great things, not just assist a general who has no enterprising spirit!
The mountain wind gradually blows, and dark clouds gradually appear in the sky!
I don't know how long it has passed, but he is still standing there!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning appeared in the sky! Then came the roar of thunder!
The raindrops began to fall slowly. The raindrops were sparse, but they were unusually large! It hurts to hit someone's face!
At this moment, Wang Shu finally raised his head! He looked to the sky and let the rain slide down his face!
"I also need to think about what to do next! If I continue to follow the general, I don't know what my fate will be in the future! I'm afraid my abilities will be completely useless! It's good to join King Kang! King Kang is old and has a lot of troops In the future, the world is very likely to belong to King Kang! However, there are so many ministers and advisors under King Kang, whether it is Zong Ze, Yang Shi, Huang Qianshan, or Wang Boyan, they are all well-known in the world! For the rest of my life, my king and concubine will not want to! If they rely on the crown prince or ask for it, it seems that neither of them has many civil servants or counselors. With my Wang concubine's talent, it should not be difficult to get ahead! It's just that the prince The strength of He Zhe Keqiu may not be the opponent of Kang Wang! Forget it, after I arrive in Hanzhong, I will carefully observe the prince and Zhe Keqiu before making a choice." Wang Shu secretly said.
