Chapter 739: The Sound of Drums and Horns Shows Its Sharp Edge (11)
Qin destroyed Han, captured the Korean royal family and resettled it in Qin, and directly redivided the original territory of South Korea into three counties, Yiyang, Xingyang, and Nanyang. Counties were set up under the prefecture, and all official positions above the county magistrate were appointed by the Qin court. As a newly occupied territory, after Li Xin led the main force of the Qin army to withdraw, Lu Chao was appointed to stay behind and command the remaining five thousand Qin troops. , coordinates the affairs of the three counties, and is actually the highest official of Qin in Korea.
When he was appointed as the left-behind officer of Han Dynasty, it happened to be a full year after Lu Chao came back, and it was also his first year. After he took the post of left-behind officer of Han Dynasty, the first thing Lu Chao did was to get married. His wife She is a young lady from the Gongsun family, the oldest aristocratic family in Korea. This marriage has nothing to do with love, but only with politics. After the destruction of Han Dynasty, the Gongsun family needs to find a new backer to ensure the family's interests in Korea. , Lu Chao is undoubtedly the best candidate. He is young, unmarried, has a very high official position, and has a profound background. He is a close disciple of the emperor's master Li Ru, and he is highly valued - Pig - Pig - Island - Novel ww.{zhu}{zhu}{ }, even if he comes from a humble background and is not from a noble family, it doesn't matter. By marrying Lu Chao to the Gongsun family, he could use the other party's deep power in Korea to help him stabilize the situation in Korea and bring Korea into the order of Qin as soon as possible.
Lu Chao thought so. In fact, he precisely relied on the power of the Gongsun family to achieve his predetermined goal. He used the Gongsun family to support him, and supplemented it with Qin's sharp iron spears. In a short period of time, They put out countless rebellions in Korea. When heads were raised one after another in Beijing, and when they saw the preferential treatment received by the first batch of Korean nobles headed by the Gongsun family, the last sparks in Korea were also destroyed. Completely annihilated, even if there are still those who care about their homeland, they can only stop their activities and hide their truest feelings deep in their hearts.
In two years, Lu Chao organized and trained more than 50,000 troops in Han Dynasty based on the grassroots officers of the Qin Army. Including the 5,000 Qin troops stationed here, he already had more than 60,000 troops in his hands. What made King Wulie of Qin even more satisfied was that these 60,000 troops were all needed, and Lu Chao did not report to the Qin court. Asking for a penny was entirely a mistake made by Han Di himself.
The Qin court, including Li Ru, was quite satisfied with Lu Chao, but Lu Chao himself was not satisfied, because in his heart, there was still a high mountain that he needed to level. When he traveled and studied in the mainland with Master Li, that person began to fight on the battlefield. When he returned from studying and began to serve as an official in the court, that person had already become famous in various countries in the mainland. When he took charge of the government , the other party was already a famous warlord on the side of the Confederacy, and he used himself to win an important chess piece of Qin in the west. From then on, the Qin people lost control of the grassland. When they pacified Han and organized a new army, the other party defeated Donghu in Hetao and wiped out more than 50,000 Donghu cavalry, which was famous in the world. No matter how hard I try, my light is always overshadowed by the other party.
And this man was the street prodigal he looked down upon the most in the past. At this moment, Lu Chao remembered. I also feel that fate seems to be playing a big joke on me.
No, I will never lose to such an ignorant guy. I am now standing on the shoulders of giants. And that guy seems to have built a skyscraper, but the foundation of this huge building is actually a piece of floating sand, and it looks like a piece of scenery in front of him.
But as long as there is a slight disturbance or a failure, the building will collapse.
But the situation was different in Great Qin, which had a profound foundation. Even though it was defeated just two years ago, it soon regained its strength.
lofty! He recited the name hatefully in his heart. You don't have enough background, but you have enemies on all sides. You may seem to be prosperous at the moment, but in fact you are already in danger. If you can hold on, don't fall down so quickly. Wait for me. , waiting for me to defeat you with my own hands and send you to the bottom of hell.
After passing through layers of courtyards, corridors and bridges, on the winding corridors, it took nearly a stick of incense to reach the backyard where the family members lived. This extremely large and luxurious manor house was It was one of the dowries of the Gongsun family. Whenever he walked in this manor, Lu Chao couldn't help but sigh, how could he not be defeated with such luxury? How can the country not be subjugated? He had stayed in the Palace of Qin for a long time. Even the palace of King Wulie of Qin could not compare with this place in terms of luxury. This was just a big noble in South Korea, but the Palace of Han was even better. It is no wonder that after the capture of Xinzheng in South Korea After that, King Wulie of Qin actually ordered that all the valuables in the palace be moved away, and after sending away all the beautiful maids, he directly destroyed the luxurious palace into a pile of ruins. Even if he lived in such a palace, No matter how passionate and passionate a man is, he will probably be turned into a soft man and lose his ambition and fighting spirit to make progress.
Lu Chao also didn't want to live in such a luxurious manor, but now, he had to live somewhere. This was his attitude towards the Korean aristocrats, but the study where he lived every day, anyone who had ever entered Everyone was extremely surprised, because the study of the most powerful man in Korea was empty, except for a desk, a few chairs, and a cabinet. There was no other furniture or decoration. , in winter, there is not even a brazier inside.
Lu Chao reminds himself all the time in this almost masochistic way.
Walking into the main room in the backyard, his mother and his wife Gongsun Yan were kneeling on an embroidery frame, embroidering the embroidery in front of them. When she saw him walking into the room, Gongsun Yan immediately stood up and bent down to him. Blessing is a blessing.
Lu Chao has nothing dissatisfied with this wife. Not to mention her appearance, she is naturally first-rate, as well as her character. This also makes Lu Chao, who married blindly, feel lucky that he is finally a well-educated person. A beautiful lady, every word, every action, every move makes people feel like a spring breeze. The only thing that made Lu Chao dissatisfied was that his wife never tired of fine food and exquisite food, and everything she wore was extremely expensive. If it weren't for the Gongsun family's wealth, Lu Chao thought to himself that he would never be able to support his wife.
Kneeling in front of his mother, Lu Chao whispered: "Mom, I'm leaving."
Her hand shook slightly, the embroidery needle deflected, and it was already pricked on her finger. A drop of bright red blood seeped out. Mrs. Lu put the injured finger in her mouth, sucked it gently for a while, and stared at Lu Chao. , said: "Are you going on an expedition?"
"Shìde, I have received the order from the king. The king appointed me as the general to attack Wei this time. I will lead the army under his command and launch a general attack on Wei. Your Majesty, I will complete my victory in one battle. This time, I must Completely capture the main beam of Wei State," Lu Chao said in a low voice.
"Ms. sir, have you become a general?" Gongsun Yan, who was kneeling next to Mrs. Lu, immediately beamed with joy.
"What kind of honor does the general have?" Mrs. Lu turned to look at Gongsun Yan, "The war is fierce and dangerous. After a big battle, I don't know how many people will die and how many families will be broken?"
"Mom, my husband is a general, so it's his turn to charge into the battle? How can there be danger?" Gongsun Yan said.
"Who said that generals are not in danger? The Yan State attacked Donghu, and even the Taiwei was made a prisoner. In the battle between Qin and Zhao at Hanguguan, even the king was almost taken advantage of by the Zhao army. On the battlefield, there was nowhere to be found. A place that is absolutely safe? Your father fought all his life and survived when he was a soldier. Later, when he became a higher official, he lost his life. " Speaking of Lu Hong, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Mother's Day!" Gongsun Yan on the side obediently took out the silk and wiped the tears on Mrs. Lu's face.
"Mom, please don't worry. The Wei people are not Zhao people. They have already become frightened in front of the powerful strength of our army. In addition to the soldiers and horses stationed in Han, the king also specially sent Prince Yingying to lead 10,000 soldiers. The cavalry came to help, so our army will definitely win this battle," Lu Chaoan Wei said.
"The prince is coming too?" Mrs. Lu asked in surprise: "You said you are the general, but the prince comes with his troops. When the time comes, will you be the leader, or will the prince be the leader? If the military orders are not unified, How can we command the whole army to advance and retreat as one if we have different orders?”
"Don't worry, mother," Lu Chao said with a smile, "You don't know much about the Qin system. Prince Yingying comes to my army, so he can only be one of the ordinary generals. Everything must obey my orders, otherwise, Military law will definitely not tolerate it.”
"We haven't lived a peaceful life for a few days before we have to fight again." Mrs. Lu sighed.
"Mother, the general trend of the world is like this. Now the State of Zhao is not looking out for itself. Gao Yuan intervened in the internal affairs of Zhao and supported Zhao Yong, the new princess of Daijun, to stand on his own. Now the civil war in Zhao is raging. The people of Zhao are unable to take care of others. The State of Wei has lost its biggest support. , Without the support of the Zhao people, the Wei people are vulnerable."
"It's Gao Yuan again!" Mrs. Lu sighed, "This person is really haunting. Are we still inseparable from him when we get to Han?"
"Mom, please don't worry, this beast won't be rampant for long. One day, he will die in my hands." Lu Chao gritted his teeth.
Mrs. Lu shook her head gently, "Why is it so? Although I resented him, I never thought about wanting him to die. Although your father was always treating him badly, after he became successful, he never forgot about us and was always respectful to your father. "The past is over, it's better to let go of enemies than to end them."
Lu Chao raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but Mrs. Lu interrupted him, "I, Zhīdào, lost you because he took advantage of me, and was convicted and jailed for it, but after all, he is He did not kill you, but sent you away respectfully. Over the years, no matter where we went, he would always send someone to you during the holidays. It is said that your achievements today are also related to your success. These hardships are not irrelevant, forget it! Although we can’t be relatives in the future, we don’t have to be enemies.”
Lu Chao thought for a while, "Mother, I think I can let go of personal grudges, but when it comes to national affairs, I can't reconcile with him. I believe that one day, we will meet on the battlefield. At that time, I But he will never be merciful.”
Mrs. Lu sighed and looked towards the east, but her eyes were full of loneliness. (To be continued...)
