The Glorious Summoner



511 Chapter 512-I was harmed by cow dung

As soon as the man spoke, Xia ping ‘an knew that he must be Zhang Yi. When Zhang Yi entered the Qin Dynasty, he was appreciated by the King of Qin Hui and was now the Prime Minister. Zhang Yi had been strongly supporting the Qin Dynasty to attack the Han Dynasty, and he used the Emperor of Zhou to command the feudal vassals.

Zhang Yi stood in the main hall, waving his square cudgel and speaking with fervor and assurance, ” Ba state and Shu state are just small states. At this moment, the two states are fighting, and it seems that Qin State can gain the upper hand, but the way to enter Shu is extremely difficult. Without excavating the Shu road, it will be difficult for the Army of Qin State to enter Shu land. Once the Shu road is excavated, Ba state and Shu state will immediately know that Qin State wants to Annex Shu land, and their disputes will immediately stop. They will definitely join forces to resist Qin State. As such, Qin State has spent a lot of effort, but not only have we failed to Annex Shu land, but we also have a strong enemy. Instead, they allowed the Shu lands to ally together and allowed the Korea to continue attacking our borders, giving the Qin country an opportunity. This is not what a wise man would do.”

Upon hearing Zhang Yi’s words, many ministers in the hall nodded their heads and whispered to each other.

The King of Qin Hui was also somewhat moved. However, he was still a little hesitant. The King of Qin Hui had long wanted to attack Ba-Shu and destroy this small country in the southwest hinterlands of the Qin country. He wanted to strengthen the strength of the Qin country and expand its territory. In front of them, Ba-Shu were fighting and each sought help from the Qin country. If the Qin country were to sit by and watch, wouldn’t they miss a good opportunity?

The King of Qin Hui’s gaze swept through the crowd and finally landed on Xia ping ‘an’s face. He saw that Xia ping’ an had not spoken a word in the main hall and his breath was calm. His heart could not help but be moved.

general Sima, you once tried to Annex the land of Ba-Shu to me. What do you have in mind right now? ”

General Sima?

He was indeed Sima Cuo! (Note)

Xia Pingan muttered to himself. When he saw that everyone’s eyes were on him, he took two steps forward and bowed to the King of Qin Hui. Your Majesty, I do not agree with what the Xiang Kingdom said just now!

“Oh!” The King of Qin Hui was suddenly in high spirits. please explain in detail, general!

“If my Qin country wants to dominate, strategy and tactics are only auxiliary. The foundation lies in the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people. We need a vast territory, ample storage, the country’s strength, and sufficient troops and provisions. This is the foundation for hegemony. If the Qin country can Annex the Shu land, it will greatly increase our strength and our Qin country will have less trouble. This will allow my Qin country to have the advantage in the war with the other countries and be on the front line to become stronger. If Zhou and han are in danger, they will definitely ally with Qi and Zhao, and Qi and Zhao will not sit by and watch. If Qin and Han are to make contributions now, that would be the worst plan!”

“If the Shu road is difficult, how can my Army enter Shu?” King Hui of Qin asked.

“My King, I have a plan that can overcome the difficulties of the Shu Dao. Destroying the Shu Dao will be as easy as turning over my hand!”

“Oh, he CE?”

“This plan is a military secret, and it’s not appropriate to announce it here!” Xia ping ‘an smiled, ” leave this matter to me, Your Majesty. I can let the king of Shu repair the Shu road that my Qin Army used to attack the Shu country. At that time, my Qin Army can easily enter the Shu country and destroy it. The Shu country will be in your hands and become the territory of my Qin country!

The King of Qin Hui was overjoyed and almost stood up from his throne. is what the general said true? ”

The other ministers also looked at Xia ping ‘an with suspicion. What kind of joke is this? do you think the king of Shu is a fool? we are going to attack the Shu nation, and you want the king of Shu to help us cultivate the Shu Dao?

Xia ping ‘an said confidently, ” Your Majesty and the ministers, please wait and see. If I can’t do it, I’m willing to raise my head to see it!

Although the King of Qin Hui favored Zhang Yi, he was also very opinionated. When he heard that Xia ping ‘an had already come up with a strategy to conquer Shu, the King of Qin Hui immediately made a decision. Between attacking han and attacking Shu, he immediately chose the latter.

In the end, Xia ping ‘an and Zhang Yi were both entrusted with an important task by the King of Qin Hui. The King of Qin Hui put the two of them in charge of attacking the Shu lands.

It was also the King of Qin Hui’s shrewdness to entrust Zhang Yi, who opposed the attack of Shu, with the heavy responsibility of attacking Shu.

……

After the court session, the state apparatus of the Qin country had already started to slowly turn.

Just as Xia ping ‘an walked out of the Qin Palace, a voice came from behind, ” general Sima, please wait! Xia Pingan turned around and saw Zhang Yi walking up to him with a smile.

Zhang Yi was a Zongheng, and all Zongheng were thick-skinned and relied on their tongues to make a living. He didn’t care about what had happened in the Imperial court at all. In fact, Zhang Yi had also seen that the one who really wanted to conquer Shu was the King of Qin Hui. The temptation of opening up new territory in his hands and allowing the Qin country to Annex Shu was something that the King of Qin Hui had probably thought about for more than a day. That was why the King of Qin Hui supported Sima Cuo so firmly.

As a strategist, Zhang Yi naturally would not make the King of Qin Hui unhappy. He wanted to go against the king’s wishes, so the moment he left the court, he immediately looked for Sima Cuo and discussed the matter of attacking Shu.

“The Xiang Kingdom!” Xia Pingan bowed slightly to Zhang Yi, who was striding over.

what general Sima said just now is indeed reasonable. Please rest assured, general. Since His Majesty supports your suggestion, I naturally support it as well. However, the difficulty of Shu road is the biggest obstacle for our Qin Army to attack Shu. General, you just said that you have a way to make the king of Shu open a way for our Qin Army. Is this true? ”

“Really!” Xia Pingan nodded.

“Oh, it’s he liangce. May I know?”

“The Xiang Kingdom has attacked Shu with me, so of course you can know!” Xia Pingan turned around and saw that there wasn’t anyone around, so he moved closer to Zhang Yi’s ear and whispered a few words.

Zhang Yi’s expression was first one of shock, then one of excitement, and finally one of admiration. if this skill is successful, it will indeed be easy for our Qin Army to attack Shu!

“I hope that the kingdom of Xiang will support me!”

Zhang Yi laughed, ” this is His Majesty and the general’s contribution to me. How can I refuse? for this battle, we’ll have to rely on general Sima. As for the Army’s logistics, supplies, and fodder, please rest assured, general. I’ll personally supervise and supervise them!

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, each having a tacit understanding in their hearts.

……

As soon as they returned to the general’s residence, Xia ping ‘an immediately ordered his subordinates to find the best stonemasons and Goldsmiths in the state of Qin.

Half a month later, Xia ping ‘an took the opportunity to inspect the border and brought a group of people to the border between the state of Qin and the state of Shu. He personally inspected the Shu road. A group of the best craftsmen in the state of Qin were in Xia ping’ an’s team.

On the surface, Xia ping ‘an was inspecting the Shu road, but in reality, he had arranged for the craftsmen he had brought to start working quietly. Xia ping’ an had set aside a special area in the military camp for the craftsmen to work. There was even a cow in it, and the other soldiers were not allowed to approach it.

After the craftsmen tinkled in the barracks for more than ten days, one day, their subordinates reported that the things that Xia Pingan wanted the craftsmen to make had been completed.

Xia Pingan personally went to check.

When they arrived at the camp area, they saw a few stonemasons carving a lifelike stone cow with stone. The Goldsmiths took out a few large lumps of golden cow dung-yes, it was cow dung. Cow dung was made of gold, just like real cow dung.

Because the cow dung was so heavy, it was difficult for one person to lift it. It would take two people to lift it easily.

Xia Pingan inspected it and nodded. He called a few craftsmen over and pointed at the stone cow. there must be some Golden Bull sh * t where the cow’s butt is. It looks more like a Pixiu.

A few craftsmen immediately sighed in admiration. general, you have sharp eyes. It’s our fault for not considering this thoroughly!

After a short discussion, the Goldsmiths and stonemasons immediately started to work. A few hours later, the butt of the stone was indeed covered with some shiny golden cow dung and gold powder.

Seeing that everything was ready, Xia Pingan immediately arranged for people to send the stone cow out of the military camp and to the designated location.

……

A few days later, a team of guards at the pass of the Shu state had to patrol the Shu road outside the pass as usual.

Walking on the foggy Shu road, when the sun came out, the patrolling Shu Army was shocked when they saw the stone cow on the Shu road.

When the Shu Army ran in front of the stone cow to take a look, they obediently thumped. It was amazing. On the ground behind the stone, there were a few large pieces of golden cow dung. It was genuine. With one look, the cow dung looked like gold. There were even some golden cow dung on the stone cow’s butt. It looked like the cow dung was quite fresh.

The officer of the Shu Army took a bite of the cow dung and realized that it was real gold. He immediately got the people around him to protect the stone cow and then informed his superiors.

It was said that the Shu Army had found a stone cow that could pull cow dung. The general at the pass who heard the news immediately rushed over and confirmed it.

The Shu Army didn’t dare to hide such a big matter and immediately reported it level by level. Soon, it was reported to the king of Shu, and the few lumps of golden cow dung were also handed in.

……

The Imperial Palace of Shu country

The king of Shu looked at the Golden cow dung that was brought to him by the people below. He bit it with his teeth and immediately became excited. There was only one thought in his mind,”this is an auspicious sign from the heavens. The heavens have chosen me and given me a stone cow that can poop gold. I want to bring the stone cow into the palace. I want to reach the peak of my life by picking up cow dung every day in the palace.”

However, the stone cow was huge and heavy. To transport the stone cow from the Shu road to the palace, they had to rebuild the Shu road. The Shu road had to be built to the point where it could carry horses. This was a waste of manpower and money.

There was golden cow shit, and this was considered a problem?

The king of Shu looked at the Golden cow dung that was still stained with his saliva. He immediately waved his hand and ordered to open the Shu road. The stone cow that could pull gold must be transported to the palace. Whoever dared to spear the cow dung with me will be beheaded.

The stone cow belongs to me, and the cow dung belongs to me. Hahahahahaha!

……

Half a year later, the Shu road was repaired. The Shu country was a waste of money and people, and there were complaints everywhere. The king of Shu held a grand ceremony and welcomed the stone cow with golden cow dung on its butt into the palace. Every day, he asked people to put all kinds of grass, bean cakes, and other things in front of the stone cow, waiting for the stone cow to pull down the hot cow dung for him to pick it up.

The king of Shu had even prepared a warehouse for golden cow dung, waiting to reach the peak of his life by picking up cow dung.

However, the stone cow didn’t poop. The Qin Army followed the Shu road and easily drove the Army to the palace of the Shu country.

Xia ping ‘an saw the fat king of Shu for the first time and was speechless. The stupidity of the ruler was vividly displayed on the king of Shu.

Looking at the Qin Dynasty soldiers standing in front of him, the king of Shu shouted with a pale face, ” I didn’t expect that I would be killed by a few piles of cow shit!
