Chapter 143: Invitation from the Master of Chunxue Tower
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang smiled without saying anything. He stood up and walked to the door of the central army tent, looking down and having a clear view of the army's formation.
Li Jing followed closely behind, and the two stood side by side, looking down.
After a long while, Zhang Liang said with emotion: "The King of Guangling is quite capable. He has governed Guangling in an orderly manner. The people all support him, and he has a group of supporters around him. He is already the best among the kings."
"When I left Beiliang, the King of Beiliang said: This Zhao Yi is as his name suggests, he is resolute and upright, good at accepting other people's opinions, and is a good king."
After hearing this, Li Jing sneered and said, "Zifang, I will refute this point."
"No matter what kind of king he is, if he stands in the way of our unification, we must eliminate him."
"Our army is approaching the border, and we have already sent out a manifesto. Those who surrender will be forgiven, and those who resist will be shown no mercy."
Zhang Liang smiled and said, "General Li is a straightforward person. These people are all independent, but there is one thing that must be taken seriously: they are all descendants of the Zhao family."
Li Jing pondered for a while, then said, "Zifang, this is the only solution."
"Since we are going to start a war, we must bear the corresponding consequences."
"I think that the King of Guangling is such a smart person, he would not do a business that would lose money, right?"
Zhang Liang smiled and said, "General Li, from now on, your mission will be very heavy, so I won't be in the camp often."
Li Jing was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Zifang, where are you going?"
Zhang Liang told Li Jing about the plan. Li Jing pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "Zi Fang, you are really far-sighted. If you need anything, just tell me. Li Jing, I will provide you with the personnel and supplies."
Zhang Liang waved his hand and said, "Just send me a recorder."
Li Jing was stunned. "So simple?"
Zhang Liang: "This is not easy."
"What I want is a recorder of the Warrior King Kong Sutra."
"At the very least, you should be able to protect yourself, right?"
Li Jing searched his mind for a while, grinned and said, "It is indeed difficult to put it this way... No, there is a man named Aqing, who used to be my personal bodyguard and recorder. Now he is a captain, and I will assign him to you as the recorder."
Zhang Liang smiled slightly and did not refuse.
---------------
When Guangling City was surrounded by Li Jing's army, Zhang Liang and A Qing disguised themselves as ordinary people and sneaked into Guangling City.
The two walked to an inn and night had already fallen.
Zhang Liang turned around, smiled and said, "Ah Qing, let's rest here."
Ah Qing nodded and said, "Yes."
The two entered the inn, which was full of guests, drinking tea, eating and chatting.
As soon as I entered the inn, I met the waiter and asked me whether I wanted to stay overnight or stay overnight.
Zhang Liang asked for two rooms, some dishes and a pot of wine.
The waiter saw that Zhang Liang's clothes were not luxurious but very neat. He was followed by a follower and took Zhang Liang to the corner of the second floor.
Zhang Liang and A Qing took their seats.
The waiter brought the wine and food and asked the two to enjoy them slowly.
Zhang Liang and A Qing listened carefully to the conversation inside the inn from the moment they entered the inn, to the moment they sat down, and to the time they were waiting for the food and drinks.
"I'm afraid this time it's going to be very dangerous!"
"how to say?"
"You didn't see that the outside is surrounded by people and it's difficult to get out now."
"It's hard to get in. It is said that today is the last day for people to enter and leave the city. In a few hours, the city gates will be closed and no one can enter or leave!"
"Prince Guangling is quite good. He did not force everyone to stay and die together."
"Anyway, I'm still on Guangling's side. King Guangling has been very kind to us common people. Over the years, he has never harmed us."
"Yes, it is a great fortune to meet such a prince."
"Your Highness, the Prince of Beiliang is nothing but a thief who wants to steal the throne of the Liyang Dynasty. His crime is unforgivable and he should be killed by everyone."
"Hey, after all that talk, the prince of Beiliang has a strong army. The troops of Guangling are not as good as those of Jing'an."
"Anyway, it's very bad. I heard that the prince of Beiliang likes to massacre cities the most."
"really?"
"Really? It is said that when they attacked Jiaodong, they carried out a massacre in the city."
"Where did you hear that?"
"Someone else said so."
"I heard another version: It said that Xiang Yu, a general under the Northern Liang prince, captured the Jiaodong prince Zhao Yi seven times. The Jiaodong prince eventually died of shame."
"..."
The people were outraged, some were worried, and some were furious.
Ah Qing whispered, "Sir, these people are all crazy."
Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "This is also a trick."
Ah Qing knew what Zhang Liang was talking about. At times like this, those in power liked to cover up the real news and not let the people below know, otherwise it would cause an uprising among the masses.
The army was in chaos before it even started fighting. There was no need to continue the battle because it had already been lost.
Zhang Liang and A Qing stayed in Guangling City for several days and heard a lot of news.
Inside are people's comments on the war.
Some people agree, some people hold grudges.
Some people also say that in war, the people are always the ones who suffer.
Once the war starts, people will die.
What has been built will inevitably fall apart.
into the night.
Zhang Liang, along with A Qing and an army, left Guangling City.
Just as the two were about to leave, they were suddenly blocked by a strong man. Ah Qing stood in front of Zhang Liang and frowned, saying, "Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?"
The strong man replied, "I was sent by the owner of Chunxue Tower to invite you two to visit Chunxue Tower."
Ah Qing was stunned when he heard this, and frowned, "You, who sent you?"
He thought he had heard it wrong and continued to confirm.
The sturdy man continued, "I am from Chunxue Tower, and the owner of the tower wants to invite Mr. Zhang to be his guest."
Zhang Liang smiled slightly and asked, "Did your host tell you what it was about?"
The strong man shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
Ah Qing turned around and whispered, "Mr. Zhang, you are here with bad intentions!"
Zhang Liang chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter. Since they invite us, let's go and take a look."
Ah Qing was stunned for a moment.
Zhang Liang looked at the strong man and said, "Please lead the way."
The strong man took Zhang Liang and Aqing to a villa outside the city, which was extremely quiet.
When we arrived at the gate of the courtyard, there were red doors and green tiles, with two stone lions squatting on both sides.
"It's right here, both of you follow me."
The strong man said.
Zhang Liang and A Qing arrived at the reception room, but there was only one person sitting inside, and it was the owner of Chunxue Tower.
Seeing Zhang Liang, the owner of Chunxue Tower lowered his attitude, stood up and bowed to Zhang Liang: "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Zifang."
Zhang Liang also returned the gift.
Then they all sat down, and servants soon served them tea.
Zhang Liang got straight to the point and said, "I have to come because the host invited me. I'm sure the host knows who I am, but I don't know what the host wants to do."
Upon hearing this, the owner of Chunxue Tower was embarrassed for a moment, and waved his hand, saying, "Although we each serve our own masters, we also respect each other."
"Mutual sympathy? OP, are you sure? Can we really be compared?"
