Chapter 20 Drawings and Temple Calculations

"General, wait!"

Xu You was about to get on the boat when he heard the sound and looked back. The person chasing him was Pei Zhi. He changed his rebelliousness in front of Liu Quan, and was very respectful and said, "Can the General give me a cup of tea and listen to me?"

Xu You looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Come up!"

This is a double-layer green sparrow and white swan boat, five or six meters long and more than ten feet wide. It has exquisite carvings and elegant decorations. It is one of the boats Zhan Wenjun traveled in Jinling, and Xu You belongs to the borrowing.

Zhu Xin ordered the boatman to shake and stand on the bow of the boat, and the Cang place brought fifty guards to the decks on both sides, staring at any suspicious target.

The ghost master is on the run and the Tianshi Dao rebelled, and Jinling is not a very safe place. The precautions that should be taken must be in place. Being careful is absolutely right.

Xu You entertained Pei Zhi in the cabin and said, "Why does Mr. Pei meet with him?"

"I dare not see the teachings!" Pei Zhi said: "Now that Yizhou is in chaos, the court is leaving behind. I am willing to offer peace to Yizhou and add new merits to the general's letter of strategy."

Without Liu Bei's sincerity in seeing Wolong, Cao Cao could not wait to see Xu You, Xu You smiled, as quiet as the conquered Zhoushan under the moonlight in the distance, and said irresistible: "I wish to hear it carefully!"

Pei Zhi almost didn't come up in a breath. According to his temperament, he should have left without a smile, but he endured it. He took out the Yizhou mountain and river map from his arms, spread it flat on the table, pointed to the undulating mountains of the map, and said: "Since ancient times, Yizhou is dangerous and passable, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are mountains around him. The north is Micang Mountain and Daba Mountain, the west is Longmen Mountain, the Qionglai Mountain and the Daxue Mountain, the south is Daliang Mountain, the east is Dalou Mountain, the Wuling Mountain and the Wushan Mountain.

General, please look at the west, Longmen Mountain, Qionglai Mountain, Daxue Mountain, and the three mountains suddenly protrude, from ten tens of tough and more than seventy tough, and it is difficult to overcome the birds; look at the south, Daliang Mountain, Wulian Peak, Xiaoxiangling, Jinping Mountain and Hengduan Mountains, and the mountains extend to Yuezhou, with steep mountains and undulating peaks, and the same people are difficult to move. Therefore, there are actually only two directions to attack Yizhou in all dynasties, one is from the north and the other is from the east.”

Xu You looked at this map. It was the ancient mapping principle based on mountains, rivers and waterways. Based on the county terrain and water flow direction, the northwest was set to the upper and the southeast was set to the lower, which was rough and terrible.

Zu Zhi invented the six-body drawing, division rate (scale bar), accuracy (direction), road (road mileage), high and low (top height), square evil (angle), and straight (curvature). This led to the method of "planning the square". The accuracy has improved by leaps and bounds, which can be called a pioneering innovation, but there is also a fatal problem, that is, the closer the center, the more accurate the deviation the farther away.

Why?

After research, Xu You found that Zu Yan believed that the earth was flat.

After the establishment of Xuanji Academy, the two colleges of Tianjing Yusuan opened map classes. Xu You perfectly integrated modern mapping concepts into this era, replacing the painting square with combs and latitude, replacing the height with altitude, replacing the principle with contours, and using scientific instruments such as level, looking ruler, and dry ruler. The maps drawn surpassed the entire era.

Looking at the map of Yizhou Mountain and River presented by Pei Zhi, it is like a graffiti of a primary school child. Even the outdated plan is not as good as the drawings. But he still regards it as a treasure and uses it as a step to advance. It is ridiculous.

"General, General?"

"Hmm? I'm listening, Mr. Pei continues!"

Pei Zhi wanted to vomit blood, so he pinched his trouser legs with his fingers and told himself to be patient, saying, "In the north, there are Micang Mountain and Daba Mountain. If you cross these two mountains, you are Hanzhong. In the north of Hanzhong, it is connected with Guanzhong through the Qinling Mountains. When you enter Chengdu from Hanzhong, you can only walk along the cliffs between the mountains and ridges, from west to east, the Yinping Road, the Jinniu Road, and the Micang Road."

"Yinping is a small road, which can only be surprising and not enough to be used. If more than a thousand people are stationed, they will be as solid as a golden soup. Micang Road can go south to Bazhong County. Although you can continue to go south to Jiangcheng (Chongqing), the road is long, there is no important town, and there is no strategic significance. You can be a partial teacher and not a main force. Only Jinniu Road starts from Yangping Pass, cross Micang Mountain, and then to Jinshou County, overcome Jianmen Pass, and after reaching Zitong, if you overcome Fu County, you can be able to be besiege Chengdu."

"Everyone who attacks Yizhou and sets out from Hanzhong, they all walk the Taurus Road. However, there is a Jianmen Pass, known as the "Swordmen World's Greatest". The Three Kingdoms Clock will attack Shu. A hundred thousand troops will be defeated by Jianmen Pass for several months. They cannot advance in an inch. It is not a good idea to take Taurus as a general.

"Since the north is not good, we can only focus on the east. The east is very simple, it is the Yangtze River. The army went out of Yiling and went up the river, first defeating Qutang Pass, then defeating Jiangcheng, and then split into two routes. One is to the Nei River (Fu River) approach Zitong County and surround Chengdu; the other is to the outside water (Min River), and directly attack Chengdu."

"Liu Xiu attacked Shu, which was to divide troops in Jiangzhou, and to let Zang Palace enter the inner water. He led the main force into the outer water and went straight to Chengdu. It was like a storm. Liu Bei attacked Shu, which was also to divide troops in Jiangzhou. Zhao Yun led his army to advance from the outer water. Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei's main force went up from the inner water and divided the counties."

"General, I heard that the court attacked Shu and wanted to use Di Guardian as the commander. If this is true, Di Guardian would have mobilized Liangzhou troops to move south from Hanzhong along Jinniu Road. This was a feint attack along the way, attracting heavy troops from Tianshi Road to defend Zitong. Then, with Changyun Army and Pingjiang Army as the main force, attacking Jiangcheng from the Yangtze River. If Jiangcheng is defeated, then approach Zitong County from the Nei River and meet with Liangzhou Army. Zitong lost again, Chengdu has no danger to defend, and the victory will be determined."

Xu You smiled and said, "Since Di Hujun's victory has been decided, why should Mr. Pei present this "Pingyizhou Ceremony" to me?"

Pei Zhi sneered: "Because I know that if Di Guards fight like this, they will definitely lose this battle!"

"Oh?" Xu You said calmly, "Why did Mr. Pei say this?"

Pei Zhi picked it up and said, "There is no basis for nothing. Now no matter how much I say, the general may not believe it. When Di Gujun returns from defeat, I will come and talk to the general and say goodbye!"

Standing on the deck and watching Pei Zhi leave, Xu You showed a playful smile and gave Zhu Xin a wink. Zhu Xinxin understood it, suddenly disappeared, and followed Pei Zhi quietly.

Back in Changganli, Yu Daozhen was summoned. Speaking of tonight, Yu Daozhen smiled and said, "Liu Quan likes to persuade people to drink with beauty. It is his habit. But no one is so ignorant. How many people in the world will really refuse Liu Shilang's wine? Of course, Su Yaying doesn't drink, and even the emperor understands it. Liu Quan deliberately invites Su Yaying tonight, because he has the intention to cause trouble. As for Pei Zhi, he should have colluded with Liu Quan in advance, pretending to be rebellious, and affecting the lives of those beautiful singers. Master Huang has always been known for benevolence and righteousness. It is impossible to sit idly by Liu Quan to kill people. As long as he stands up for the singer, Liu Quan can fan the flames and force Tan Xiaozu, Cao Qing, Gu Yun and others to stand up and support you unconditionally..."

Yu Daozhen is best at the calculations in the court. Every word is like witnessing the entire process of Liu Quan and others' secret planning, and said: "What status is the Liu family? Master Huang is just an idle county marquis who has no official position and no rank. He can even arrogance and domineeringly divide his family prostitutes. The military generals holding heavy troops are still loyal. The civil servants in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and the Constitutional Platform do not hesitate to cheer. If this is heard by the emperor, would he be afraid?"

Xu You pondered silently.

"Yes, the emperor met the Lord of Huang, but the gratitude is so great. The Emperor's trust in Qin has always been the flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water, and the moon in the water, and the only one can be arrogant."

Yu Daozhen said again: "Because of the six-day victory, the emperor wanted Lord Hui to be the general again and lead troops to attack Yizhou, which attracted the taboo of the old party and the clans. They did not hesitate to use such a simple and straightforward layout to set up a trap for Lord Hui. Just because they saw this, smart people know that Lord Hui had entered the game, but the facts are facts. The power you showed was too great, and it was big enough to arouse the emperor's vigilance!"

Xu You sighed and said, "Am I too soft-hearted? I know it's a game, but I still jumped in stupidly?"

Fish Dao's beautiful eyes were filled with clear and admirable light, and his voice was as gentle as a bird. He said, "There are countless ruthless and ruthless figures I have seen in the north and south. However, the only one who is willing to stand out for those singers who are as long as life and death is like cattle and sheep. This is not a soft-hearted man, but a real man has done something and does not. The people are in virtue. The Lord seems to have fallen into the enemy's urn for a while, but in the long run, it will be of great benefit to the Lord!"

Xu You asked, "What should I do next?"

"Tomorrow, the court will discuss that Liu Ning will take the opportunity to attack the Lord of Huang, impeach him, form a clique, and intimidate his ministers, be unable to save his sight, and loot his private money. Xie Xiwen will also increase his efforts to attack the Lord of Huang. I guess he will propose to expel Lord of Huang from the capital and serve as the governor in a remote Xiazhou. It is very likely that he will still be the governor who does not take charge of the army..."

There are two types of state governors in the Chu system: one is in charge of the military and political power; the other is in charge of the general and the general is in charge of the army, and the other is in charge of the local administration, and the military affairs are handed over to the governor's office. Once the Chu Dynasty, although the governor of the bicycle was nominally a chief official, his rank and status were extremely low.

"Even if the emperor began to suspect Lord Huang, he would not be so kind. Xie Xiwen also knew that it was impossible to release Lord Huang just because of humiliation of Liu Quan. The emperor would definitely reject his proposal. At this time, Xie Xiwen proposed to let Di Xia be the general and the general of the army to Yizhou to quell the rebellion, so the emperor would not object. Retreat as a small trick of power. What Huang mainly did was to remain silent and argue, and let Tan Xiaozu and others say it."

Xu Youpang said: "Sit in the hall, the temple is in the Taicheng City, and there is no one else except the aisle!"

Zhu Xin turned around later and reported: "Pei Zhi first returned to Liu Mansion, and then went to Qiumai Mansion in Waguannan Lane. When I left, I did not see him leaving the mansion."

Yu Daozhen knew it as a family and said, "Qiu Mai, Doctor of the Imperial College, participated in the court's discussions and was known for his reputation in Jinling. Pei Zhi and Qiu Mai are close friends, and whenever they come to Jinling, they live in Qiu's house."

Xu You smiled and said, "Qiu Mai... Things are getting more and more interesting. Gu Yu, notified Wen Yu, and sent someone to stare at Qiu Mai and Pei Zhi. Their daily whereabouts must be reported to Rashen Shi in the same way."
