Chapter 1229: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (One Hundred and Nineteen) A Tacit Understanding

Fan Sui's words completely overturned Mingtai's understanding of Lu Chao. He murmured: "This, this is impossible, right? What a coincidence. General Lu needed a war, and Gao Yuan came to him in time. Give him a war, Chief Assistant!" Mingtai's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, appearing particularly sharp in the narrow space.

"General Lu has a close relationship with Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan was raised by the general's father. They, they won't all collude, right?"

As soon as this argument came out, even Mingtai himself was frightened.

"You are thinking too much!" Fan Sui said calmly, "General Lu will never collude with Gao Yuan."

"Then, how could it be such a coincidence?" Mingtai asked.

Fan Sui sighed: "Gao Yuan is an amazing person. He made this move because he saw it right. This calculation makes people shudder when thinking about it."

Looking at Mingtai's somewhat puzzled look, Fan Sui explained: "Gao Yuan is afraid that I plotted to assassinate Li Ru but did not die, and was sent to Tan Feng. I am afraid that Gao Yuan has already seen through it from that time on." The king wants to reform the internal affairs, because I have been in contact with Cao Tianci, and they understand my thoughts, and the death of Li Ru has accelerated their pace. "

"Give General Lu a war?"

"Yes, Gao Yuan accurately judged the direction of the Qin Dynasty, and even calculated the dilemma of General Lu. Therefore, he sent such a war to General Lu in time, so that General Lu could not only justifiably If you stay on the front line, you can gain more policy bias from the court."

"Then you still say that General Lu did not collude with him?"

"Of course there is no collusion. It's like two chess masters. They can accurately figure out each other's thinking, and Gao Yuan takes action. The general guessed his intention, so he naturally followed the flow and made the decision that was most beneficial to him. "

"Then, what is Gao Yuan's intention in doing this?"

"The general's intention is to ensure his status and influence in the country, while Gao Yuan wants to continue to bleed our Great Qin."

"Bloodletting?" Mingtai blinked.

"Yes, bloodletting. Now Da Qin is already a dying patient. If bloodletting continues, what will be the result?" Fan Sui asked.

"That will naturally make matters worse. As time goes by, I'm afraid I will become terminally ill." Mingtai's body was shaking a little.

Fan Sui glanced at Mingtai with some sympathy.

"You are still young. There are many things that you cannot truly understand. If Zhongli was still in your position, he would not ask me these questions at all. It's a pity that the king is not very satisfied with Zhongli. He is cleaning up the eldest prince's line. At that time, Zhongli's attitude was ambiguous and he basically stood aside. This is the reason why he really left you to take over. It's a big step for you to take over the Black Ice Platform. "

Mingtai nodded, "I understand that. Although I am the commander of Heibingtai, there are some people and some things that I cannot control yet, because real things never exist in files or records."

Fan Sui made Mingtai really begin to understand the psychology of these top people. Although he is now one of them, Mingtai knows it. Although I have arrived at my position, I am not mentally ready yet.

"The general is an extremely smart and complex person. He will not give up his power and position, and he is well aware of the current situation of Daqin. He knows very well that although this big war has started, there is no one who is not good at it. It would put himself or Great Qin into a trap. Therefore, on the one hand, he wanted to protect the Li Confucian school from a fundamental blow, but on the other hand, he deceived me into improving the current situation of Qin after I came back. , to ensure that he will not have any worries on the front line. This is the reason why I can come back. If he tries to prevent me from returning to Xianyang, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it." Fan Sui said with a smile.

"Is it based on this reason that you went to Hangu Pass?" Mingtai asked.

""Now that I have guessed General Lu's thoughts, I naturally dare to go to Hangu Pass to talk to him openly. He and I must reach a compromise. "Fan Sui said.

"What if the general puts forward harsh conditions?" Mingtai said.

"No, as I said before, the general is a smart man. I have already given him a gift. I think he also understands my thoughts. It is a reflection of my sincerity that I go to him. Now If we don't work together, it will do no good to anyone if the boat capsizes." Fan Sui said.

"Isn't this making fun of the fate of the Qin Dynasty?" Mingtai's face darkened, "The general does this, doesn't the king understand?"

"Your Majesty understands that this cannot be changed by understanding it." Fan Sui sighed.

Mingtai fell silent, and Fan Sui also fell silent. The carriage bumped forward on the galloping road, and few people were seen along the way. This made Fan Sui couldn't help but think of what happened in Yingchuan, because of the conflict with the Han Dynasty. Guoyingshui is adjacent to each other, and because of Tan Feng's policies, although the two places are in military confrontation, there are frequent contacts between the people and the economy. Even if the weather is bad, there are still people on the streets and roads. People come and go, and carts of goods flow between the two places, bringing prosperity to the local area and prosperity to the people.

Without reform, it is like boiling a frog in warm water and it will eventually be consumed to death. However, reform is like dancing on the tip of a knife. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.

The national situation is difficult, as it always is!

If he succeeds, he will be a hero of the Qin Dynasty. He will never lose to Li Ru to leave a name in history. If he fails, he will probably become the loser of the Qin Dynasty.

Sitting and doing nothing may not leave a bad reputation, but if you spare no effort to do it like now, it is very likely to be infamy for forever.

If I don’t go to hell, who will? Fan Sui thought solemnly in his heart.

The horse's hooves sounded crisply. Fan Sui slowly closed his eyes and stopped thinking about these things. When he went to see Lu Chao this time, he felt at ease because the two of them would definitely reach a compromise.

The Li Confucian school has controlled the political affairs of the Qin Dynasty for decades, and the forces are so intertwined that it is necessary to completely abandon them and start a new one. If it were in peacetime, it would be possible to do it step by step, but now, it is impossible. Of course, like Diehards like Cui Yuan are short-sighted and ineffective. Such people must be abandoned, but people like Lu Chao must rely on their strength. As long as they reach a compromise with Lu Chao, many things can be solved. .

In fact, Cui Yuan has been abandoned by the Li Confucian school. Just seeing him reporting illness and returning home, it can be seen that the main force of the Li school is now watching Lu Chao. Attitude.

In Changping City, Gao Yuan sat relaxedly at the table. There was a set of Go on the table. Gao Yuan was holding a chess box and was playing notes in a chess book with great interest. He had always played Go, but his chess skills were not very good. In his backyard, Ning Xin was a master of chess, music, calligraphy and painting, and knew everything. Against her, Gao Yuan was naturally the target of abuse. However, this also aroused Gao Yuan's competitive spirit and he began to study the art of Go seriously. However, At this time, the battle is ahead, but it seems a bit out of place.

He Lanyan was not interested in these. She felt her head hurt just by looking at the black and white chessboard for a while. At this time, she was sitting aside, wiping her scimitar over and over again. The scimitar was already gone. She polished it until it shined.

"Brother, the situation ahead is not favorable for us now, but it seems that you are not worried!" He Lanyan looked at Gao Yuan who was mumbling something puzzled.

"There is nothing to worry about. We have been fighting for several days, but we have only broken through the first line of defense. We haven't even touched the edge of Changping City." Gao Yuan raised his head, glanced at her, and said with a smile.

"The Qin army's offensive is extremely fierce. If it continues like this, I'm a little worried that Zhao Xilie and the others won't be able to hold it back. Our reinforcements are still far away from here!" He Lanyan sheathed the knife with a choking sound, and stood up and walked to Gao Yuan's side. , sat down and said: "How about I go to the front line to see and encourage them."

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "I thought you really cared about the war situation. After working on it for a long time, you still want to go to the front line to fight!"

"It's true to be motivated, and it's true to want to fight." He Lanyan smiled charmingly.

"Go away!" Gao Yuanhu said with a face, "Don't even think about it. Just stay in the house and make my bed and quilt."

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, He Lanyan suddenly became annoyed and stood up, "No, you can sleep by yourself tonight. I'll go sleep at Wula's place."

He turned around and left, walked to the door, but turned back, looked at Gao Yuan and said, "You really aren't worried about the front. These days, you haven't been to the battlefield to take a look."

"Don't worry, I believe them." Gao Yuan said with a genuine smile.

He Lanyan looked at him strangely for a few times, then walked back, "I always feel that you are hiding something from me."

"Oh, where did you see that?" Gao Yuan suddenly smiled, reached out and threw the chess piece away, looked at He Lanyan and asked.

"Intuition!" He Lanyan said.

"Intuition?" Gao Yuan yelled, "I'm not worried, because the Qin people's attacks are probably going to slow down. Although they have fought fiercely in recent years and captured many of our positions, the Qin people's casualties are not small. , I’m afraid it’s beyond their expectations. We can’t stand it, and neither can they. So, I guess it should be slow down in the next two days.”

"We want to slow down, but the Qin people probably don't want to slow down. Don't Lu Chao know that time is precious to them? If our reinforcements come, he will attack Changping and his plan to sweep Jinyang will come to nothing." He Lanyan said: "Lu Chao is not stupid, will he give us time to breathe?"

"You don't believe me? Do you want us to make a bet?" Gao Yuan looked at him with a half-smile.

"Okay, if I win, you have to let me go to the front line to fight a few battles." He Lanyan was overjoyed.

"Okay, if you lose, how about you just stay by my side and make my bed, and never mention the front line again?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"It's a bet!" He Lanyan said happily. For her, if she didn't make this bet, there would be no chance at all. But if she made this bet, she would at least have the hope of winning. (To be continued)
