The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 214 The Army of the Kingdom of Shu

Sima Lanting was a little apprehensive, just now she was really afraid that Su Lin would send her out for the sake of the alliance. You must know that dancers in this era are worthless and are often given away by nobles as gifts.

Su Lin didn't agree, which moved Sima Lanting very much and made her even more determined.

"My lord, there is something unknown about Lanting."

Sima Lanting calmed down and asked with a smile.

Su Lin smiled, looked at her and said, "What's the matter?"

"We have an irreconcilable enmity with Ba, why should we help them and let Shu destroy Ba?"

Not only Sima Lanting couldn't understand this, but Hua Rong next to him couldn't understand it either.

"Hehe, you, the problem is still too superficial."

Su Lin flicked his sleeves, looked at Sima Lanting and explained: "I don't pay much attention to Ba and Shu, and Qin is the country that I should be most wary of."

"Qin State?"

Sima Lanting frowned slightly, wondering what the Bashu matter had to do with Qin State?
Su Lin continued: "The State of Qin has always coveted the land of Bashu. Qin State wants to build a granary in the rear. However, the internal affairs of Qin State have not been handled properly, and they will attack Bashu within five years at most."

"...Lanting understands."

Sima Lanting nodded lightly. She is very smart. Although she has some limitations in understanding the situation in the world, she can understand everything after listening to Su Lin's explanation.

Hua Rong next to him was a little confused, and couldn't help interjecting: "I didn't understand, what does this have to do with the Pakistan Alliance, isn't there still five years left? We can take this opportunity to destroy Bashu in advance, right?" Is it better?"

"You!"

Su Lin shook his head with a smile, pointed at Huarong and said, "If the troops of Ba and Shu are greatly damaged, you said that the Qin Congress will not intervene in advance. If Qin intervenes in Ba and Shu in advance, can we defend it with our current strength?" Live in Dacheng?"

"this……."

Hua Rong frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly, "I can't hold on."

"That's why the strength of Ba and Shu cannot be greatly damaged. This is a game, and any balance that is broken will cause huge changes. As long as Shu can retreat, if the strength of Shu and Ba is not greatly damaged, Qin State will not go south to attack Bashu, we can slowly develop our strength by occupying Dacheng, three years is enough for our power in Ba State to be deeply rooted, and Ba State will be ours sooner or later."

Su Lin confidently picked up the bronze wine cup, took a sip, and regarded it as a celebration wine for victory.

"My lord is wise."

Thinking of this, Hua Rong bowed his hands in admiration.

It turned out that the master announced such a big game, and Bashu's strength was maintained in a balanced state, so that it would not be broken by external forces.

"It's time for us to go back. Let Li Jinlong lead [-] elite soldiers to Nanjiang Town. Don't make any moves, just need to act as a deterrent there."

Su Lin narrowed his eyes, he had to do something, otherwise Shu would not retreat.

……

Zhang Ping went down the mountain with a gloomy face.

Seeing that Zhang Ping's expression was not right, the soldiers rushed up to meet him and asked, "General, what happened?"

"It's okay, let's go, and send another scout to step up to find out what's going on in the west." Zhang Ping said coldly.

"West?"

The soldiers were puzzled, isn't the Kingdom of Shu to the west?

Although the Kingdom of Shu is stronger than the Kingdom of Ba, it is not too strong. Moreover, the two countries have a good relationship, so there is no movement.

"Go!"

Seeing that the soldiers did not move, Zhang Ping became a little angry, and shouted loudly.

"Here."

The guards were so frightened that they quickly cupped their hands. They didn't know why the general was so abnormal after he went down the mountain. They didn't dare to hesitate, so they quickly turned around to convey the order.

Zhang Ping jumped on his horse and looked back at the lush trees on the mountain.

He clearly knew that the leader of the Han army was on the mountain, but he could not order an attack, otherwise the country of Ba might be in danger of being destroyed.

As long as the immediate crisis is resolved, the Han bandits will definitely pay their debts in blood.

"drive."

Zhang Ping slammed the horse's buttocks and drove the horse forward.

The team behind followed suit.

Zhang Ping led the elite soldiers of the Ba Kingdom, and they were not damaged in the attack on Dacheng.

Most of the dead were conscripted militiamen. These militiamen were just cannon fodder for the siege, and the real elite could not be used up at the beginning.

This is the core strength of Pakistan.

The siege of Dacheng has attracted the attention of many forces.

Especially Shu, which is the closest to Ba.

The Kingdom of Shu had long received the news that the Kingdom of Ba had sent all its forces to attack Dacheng. The King of Shu was overjoyed and quickly ordered to gather heavy troops on the border of Ba and Shu.

As long as the Ba and Han armies are almost exhausted, the Shu army will move south and attack Jiangcheng.

If it can occupy Ba, then Shu will completely control the land of Ba and Shu, and when the national power increases, it can become the overlord of one party.

After recuperating and recuperating, he may be able to compete with the countries of the Central Plains.

The king of Shu was not reconciled to living in a corner.

On the border of Bashu, the camp of Shu Kingdom.

"Report."

A scout wearing a gray vest went straight into the commander's camp, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "Report to the general, Baguo failed to attack Dacheng. Instead of continuing to attack, he led [-] soldiers back to Jiangcheng."

Liu Yan, the Shu general sitting in the coach's seat, is 53 years old and is also a veteran.

He was dressed in black armor, with a beard all over his face, and when he opened his tiger eyes, a murderous aura emerged.

"Go down."

Liu Yan waved his hand expressionlessly, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

"Here."

The scout cupped his hands, turned and left the big tent.

Next to him was a middle-aged general in his 40s, who was Liu Yan's deputy named Wei Bohou.

He frowned slightly, cupped his hands and said, "General, Zhang Ping still has 5 troops under his command, and we only have [-] troops. If we attack Jiangcheng, I'm afraid we won't get any benefit."

Liu Yan thought for a while, then sneered, and said, "What are you afraid of? Only 10 of Zhangping's [-] people were killed, just like a bereaved dog. Even if you can't take down Jiangcheng, you can still take down a few cities. After putting so much effort into gathering an army, I have to get some food and grass money back."

Wei Bohou nodded and said with a smile: "The last general will first lead his troops to take down a few cities to establish his prestige, and then force Ba to spit out more land."

"Well, you lead [-] elite soldiers and take down the two cities of Naping and Ning first." Liu Yan nodded and smiled.

"The last general takes orders." Wei Bo cupped his hands with a thick smile.

335 BC, autumn.

The army of the Kingdom of Shu attacked the Kingdom of Ba, occupied the two cities of Pingcheng and Ningcheng on the border of the Kingdom of Ba, and then rested their troops and horses. The next step was to attack the capital of the Kingdom of Ba.

Zhang Ping, the general of the Ba Kingdom, led his army back to Jiangcheng and defended against danger.

At the same time, he reported to King Ba and joined forces with the Han army to resist Shu.

Facing the danger of national subjugation, King Ba had no choice but to let go of his past hatred, and chose to form an alliance with the Han army, and signed an alliance agreement, ceding Dacheng to Su Lin.

In fact, there is no way not to cede it. Dacheng has been occupied by the Han army.

Su Lin sent Su Qin to act as an envoy to negotiate.

With the oppression of the Shu army and Su Qin's negotiating ability, King Ba agreed to Su Lin's conditions one by one.

It also includes several small towns to the south of Dacheng, which made General Zhang Ping almost seriously ill.

The two parties signed the agreement.

Signing the alliance letter is just to make the city of Surinada more justified.

You can't trust too much in the covenant. The conquest of various countries depends on the strength. Without strength, the covenant is just a piece of waste paper.

Su Lin needs time to manage Dacheng. As long as it takes root here and uses Dacheng as its base, it is believed that the entire Bashu will be included in Su Lin's sphere of influence.

The road has to be walked step by step, and the meal has to be eaten bite by bite.

The only thing to do now is to fulfill the conditions of the covenant and force the Shu army back.
