Chapter 293 Relying on External Forces
Jixia Academy was once the highest academic institution.
It was also the center of scholarship and culture in the pre-Qin period. It was the most desirable place for scholars and scholars at that time.
Waiting for a lot of academic people.
Zhang Liang naturally yearned for Jixia Academy.
"Time can change everything."
Cao Qiudao sighed and said: "No matter how prosperous it is, it is in the past. No one knows what will happen in the future. All I can do is to save as much as possible."
He put down the bamboo slips in his hand, came to Zhang Liang, and said: "Now that I am still here, I can maintain the academy from decline. If Qi is destroyed in the future, I don't know how the Qin people will treat the academy."
When the matter of the Qin State was mentioned, Zhang Liang could probably understand this person's thoughts and asked: "Did you never think about resisting the Qin State when offering wine?"
"Of course."
It is impossible not to rebel against Qin. Cao Qiudao continued: "I invited Zifang to come here just to rebel against Qin."
His eyes were burning as he looked at Zhang Liang.
This kind of performance made him show a feeling of loving the country of Qi very much, as if he would do anything for the country of Qi, no matter what the means.
A patriotic persona was established.
Zhang Liang did not think that he could succeed and said: "As far as I know, Qi State does not have the ability to resist Qin, even if it unites with Yan State, resistance will only lead to faster death."
"It is of course impossible to rely on Qi State."
Cao Qiudao whispered: "But what about borrowing external force?"
"What external force?"
"Hun!"
"You want to ask the Huns to borrow troops?"
"Not entirely me, but also Yan Wangxi."
Cao Qiudao's purpose was finally revealed, and he smiled faintly and said: "I have talked with King Xi of Yan. If we want to contain the Qin State or even rebel against the Qin State, we, Qi Yan, and the Xiongnu must join forces, otherwise everything will be impossible."
The person who promoted the introduction of the Xiongnu was not King Xi of Yan, but Cao Qiudao.
Zhang Liang frowned. This was the first time he knew about the Xiongnu. He asked, "Everything has been prepared for the sacrificial wine. Why are you still looking for me? You know, we in Korea have nothing."
His men have no troops.
Everything in South Korea had been taken away by Qin a long time ago. If he wanted to rebel against Qin on a large scale, he did not have the ability or opportunity.
Cao Qiudao said: "Zifang is very capable, and we still need a counselor. You are the most suitable. Besides, I haven't convinced King Qi yet. He is unwilling to cooperate, and I want to ask Zifang to persuade me."
"I probably understand why King Qi disagrees."
Zhang Liang thought briefly and said: "The struggle in our land of China has nothing to do with the foreign barbarians. King Qi probably thought so, so he refused."
Cao Qiudao asked again: "What do you think of Zifang?"
"Of course it's the same as King Qi."
Zhang Liang refused directly and asked: "Introducing the Huns? You are not afraid. It is easy for the Huns to come, but it is difficult to drive them away!"
Cao Qiudao said confidently: "Of course I'm not afraid. I still have a plan to expel the Xiongnu. As long as Zifang agrees to help me, I can not only fight against Qin, but also help Korea recover. How about it?"
"Not so good!"
Zhang Liang continued to refuse: "I don't agree, let alone do this, let alone Jijiu thinks that the Xiongnu can really do it?"
Cao Qiudao said: "The Huns have strong horses and strong horses!"
"The Qin army is not bad either!"
Zhang Liang retorted and said: "Since Jijiu is so confident, there is no need for me to be a counselor. I will not be a counselor for foreigners. I'll take my leave!"
Having said this, he paused for a while and threatened: "I believe there are many ways to keep me here, but there are also many ways for me to leave. Since I dare to come to see you, I won't be unprepared.
So the sacrificial wine won’t stop me from leaving, right?”
Cao Qiudao's face was ashen and he looked very unhappy, but he couldn't figure out what Zhang Liang had prepared. He had already heard that Zhang Liang was proficient in strategy. He could only endure his dissatisfaction and said with a hypocritical smile: "Zifang wants to leave at any time.
Yes, please!"
Zhang Liang was not polite to him at all. He broke his face and strode out of the door to meet Han Cheng and others outside.
"Zifang, what's going on?"
Gongzi Xin asked.
Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "The Jixia Academy's sacrificial wine will be used to fight against the Qin with the help of the Huns. If the Huns come in, the consequences will be disastrous. Of course I refuse. We will elaborate on it on the way back."
"good!"
Han Cheng said.
In the study room.
Cao Qiudao was very unhappy, but he couldn't force Zhang Liang, so he could only let him leave. He really wanted to protect the state of Qi, and he was a person who loved the state of Qi.
"There is still a way!"
He is thinking.
——
Outside.
Bai Zhong could see that Zhang Liang and others went in for a while, then left and went straight down the mountain without stopping.
What they talked about, only they know.
"Let's go back and come back in the evening." Bai Zhong said.
The two followed Zhang Liang's team down the mountain.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Bai Zhong could see that Zhang Liang and others left directly without entering Linzi.
Ying Shu asked: "Should we kill all these people?"
"It's better to let them go."
Bai Zhong looked back at the mountain and continued: "Prepare some night clothes and sneak in tonight."
They still wore the human skin masks, so they simply did not return to the city. Instead, they used potions to strengthen the human skin masks in the mountains and forests, and then prepared their night clothes.
As for who the man in black is, they will be able to find out as soon as tonight.
In order to hide his identity, Bai Zhong next used a knife, and his knife skills were also the eight in the well. Only in this way could he force Cao Qiudao to admit that he was the man in black.
Time passed quickly and it was night before I knew it.
Bai Zhong returned to the outside of Jixia Academy again and climbed over the wall to enter. The guards inside had already rested and no one could detect their presence. He whispered in Ying Shu's ear: "Go inside first."
"good!"
Ying Shu responded.
The two of them walked quickly on the wall, crossed the front yard, and walked to the back. Just when they were about to go in to see the internal structure of Jixia Academy, Ying Shu suddenly felt that she tripped on something under her feet, as if she had broken something with a kick.
A rope.
At this moment, they could feel a sharp sound breaking through the air around them.
"not good!"
Ying Shu realized that the rope was a trap. She turned around and slashed with her sword, knocking down the incoming sharp arrow.
At this moment, the lights in the entire Jixia Academy lit up.
The moment they encountered the mechanism, they were spotted by the people inside. A large number of swordsmen came out of various rooms and walked in their direction.
Some people also appeared on the roofs of tall buildings.
They were holding a crossbow in their hands. These were all mechanisms left over from the Mo family, or other mechanical weapons. Although the power was not as powerful as the system's crossbows, it was definitely not bad.
"Let's go!"
Bai Zhong was still careless.
