Chapter 986: The Magnificent Power of Han (One Hundred and Ten)
Lu Chao's excitement was somewhat dampened by his mother's displeasure. When people get old, their hearts are always soft, and they are willing to forgive people and things that they were unwilling to forgive before, but he is different. In the future, try not to mention the things between Gao Yuan and the old man, so that the old man will not be sad when he thinks of the past.
After chatting with his wife and mother for a while, dinner was ready in the outer room. The two of them supported Mrs. Lu and walked to the outer hall.
"Yan'er!" Lu Chao smiled and looked at his wife: "My father-in-law and his family have not come to our house yet?"
"Yes!" Gongsun Yan smiled and replied: "I have been busy all the time, so where can I find time."
"Well, my father-in-law is indeed very busy. How about this, Yan'er, you might as well write a letter to my father-in-law and let him He and his family will stay in Xianyang for a while. I will go to the front line to take charge of the army again soon. I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a long time. It is not good to be without a man at home." Lu Chao said.
"But my father is so busy, will he agree to come?" Gongsun Yan asked.
"You can hint in the letter that it is my intention. My father-in-law is a smart man and he will know how to choose." Lu Chao said lightly: "My father-in-law is old, so he might as well come to Xianyang to recuperate."
Gongsun Yan's eyes flashed, as if she understood something: "Husband, I understand, I will write a letter tonight and send someone to send it out tomorrow morning."
"Yes!" Lu Chao nodded with satisfaction. The three counties of Han will be ceded to Chu soon. I don't know what will happen in the future. After all, they are Gongsun Yan's relatives. I can't just ignore them, but I can't say it clearly. I can only let Gongsun Yan write this letter. With Gongsun Ying's experience, I think he will be able to guess that there is something fishy. Giving up everything in Han and coming to Xianyang is his best choice.
Time passed. When Lu Chao packed up and walked out of the house in the early morning of the next day and stepped onto a carriage that had been waiting there, the lights in the Black Ice Hall of the Qin Palace were still on.
"Your Majesty, do you understand what I said before about the advantages and disadvantages of the national policy of Gaoyuan Han?" Li Ru was a little excited. He came back from the mission to Jishi City and saw the prosperous scene there. He He then immersed himself in studying everything that happened in the Han Kingdom.
"I understand!" King Wulie of Qin nodded: "After listening to your in-depth analysis, I was enlightened. The national policy pursued by Gao Yuan can indeed make the people rich and the country strong, but it will cause the collapse of rituals and music, and the order will disappear. In the long run, the court's control over the local areas will be greatly weakened, or even completely lost, and the majesty of the royal family will also be reduced step by step, and finally become a puppet. This is a policy of national destruction, and I will not adopt it."
"The policy that my Great Qin is currently implementing makes the country rich and the people poor, but it can accumulate huge power, and this is what our Great Qin needs most right now, to accumulate power and unify the Central Plains, and when the king When we are the king of the world, we might as well selectively apply some of the desirable parts of the lofty national policy. In this way, we can not only enrich the country, but also enrich the people. But now, it is absolutely impossible."
"You are right, sir!" King Qin Wulie nodded and said: "Ying Ying will be back soon. I will ask you to teach him more in the future. I am afraid I will not see that day."
Li Ru looked at this disciple deeply. It was because he met King Qin Wulie that his school of thought was carried forward and the strongest Qin in the world was created. However, the disciple who was once vigorous and energetic has now become a patient lying in bed and may die at any time. He was very sad.
"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. Rest and rest, work less, and you will live longer."
In the Hedong camp of Zhao State, Jing Rufeng walked out of his tent, looked at the blue sky, and took a deep breath of the fresh air in the morning. The sun had not risen yet, and the air was still a little cool, but in a while, the earth would be shrouded in heat.
Looking to the west, although the end of the vision was still confusing, he knew that over there was the Hangu Pass of the Qin Dynasty. For more than 20 years, he had never set foot there again.
How many times have I dreamed of returning home, but when I woke up, my pillow was wet with tears. After 20 years of ups and downs, everything in my hometown has long gone. He has changed beyond all recognition, right? His accent has changed, his hair has turned gray, and now even if he sets foot in his homeland, few people will still remember the heroic general of the Qin Dynasty!
He smiled bitterly, hoping that all this would end soon, so that he would have a chance to return to his hometown.
He turned around and walked back to the big tent.
Half an hour later, there was a dense sound of horse hooves outside the big tent. Jing Rufeng stood up and walked towards the tent door. The people who came outside at this time were Zhao Jin, the governor of Hedong County, who came to the big tent to discuss matters at his order, and Zhao Xilie, the deputy general of the Hedong camp, Li Mingjun and others. The current Hedong camp has long become Zhao Qi's one-man show, and Jing Rufeng has naturally been stabbed with With the removal of old generals such as Wu Zeng and the entry of Zhao Xilie, Li Mingjun and others, the Hedong Camp that Zhao Mu had run for many years has completely changed.
"General!" Several people led by Zhao Jin saluted Jing Rufeng with fists, and Jing Rufeng also returned the salute with a smile. As an outsider, he has always been respectful to these native Zhao people, and he has also won the respect of these people with a series of military exploits since he arrived at the Hedong Camp, especially the defeat of the 20,000 Qin troops led by Wang Xiao two years ago, which made him completely trust and admired by these people. Such a record, except for Zhao Mu, no one else in Zhao could do it before.
"General, why did you summon me to the camp so urgently?" He kept wiping the sweat from his head. As a fat man, even in the early morning, the weather was enough for him, and even more Not to mention riding on a horse for such a long time.
Jing Rufeng smiled slightly, clapped his hands and called the guards: "You, take all the guards back fifty steps to enforce the law. No one from my general will be allowed to come within fifty steps of the tent."
"Follow the order!" The guard turned and left, but the expressions of several people in the tent suddenly became solemn. This is the Chinese army of the Hedong camp. It is already heavily guarded. Let alone spies, even a mosquito will fly in. You have to ask the owner here if he agrees, but Jing Rufeng's actions clearly indicate that what he is going to do is extremely confidential.
"What happened?" Zhao Jin's face once again had thick beads of sweat.
"Sit!" Jing Rufeng stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "It's a good thing, but I can't control whether it can be grasped, so I've brought you all here to discuss it."
"Is it related to the people of Qin?" Zhao Xilie asked.
"nature."
Jing Rufeng sat down steadily, "Do you know who King Qin Wulie's preferred successor is?"
"No need to ask, of course it is Ying Ying. This is known to the whole world. King Wulie of Qin spared no effort to train him. Now there are three generals in Qin State, and Ying Ying has worked with two of them." Zhao Jin said.
"But Yingying is the fourth child." Jing Rufeng said mysteriously. "He has three older brothers!"
Several people in the tent stared at Jing Rufeng for a long time. Zhao Jin suddenly stood up and said, "You mean, something big happened in Xianyang."
"Exactly!" Jing Rufeng said: "I got the news that the eldest son of King Wulie of Qin was not angry with his father for favoring Ying Ying. He colluded with Meng Tian, another general of the Qin State, and wanted to raise troops to force the palace."
"Why haven't we heard anything about such a big thing?" Zhao Xilie was a little confused.
"Of course you don't know yet. Because this matter was exposed, King Wulie of Qin took the lead in hunting down and killing people in Xianyang. The city of Xianyang was once again filled with blood!" Jing Rufeng's eyes were a little blurry, as if he had returned to twenty years ago. Before.
"Now that King Qin Wulie has found out, I'm afraid we won't get any chance." Zhao Jin shook his head with regret.
"No, no!" Jing Rufeng laughed and said: "King Wulie of Qin was very smart, but he got confused at this critical moment. It was his boss who escaped. Now the whereabouts of the eldest prince are unknown, but what is certain is that this time People will inevitably flee to Meng Tian’s army, and there are 200,000 Qin elites under Meng Tian’s command!”
Zhao Xilie suddenly became excited, "Is there a possibility of civil war in Qin?"
"We don't know yet, because Meng Tian's attitude has always been a bit ambiguous, but it is obvious that King Qin Wulie does not dare to take risks, so our biggest enemy Li Xin is no longer here, and he is returning to Xianyang with his troops."
"Why didn't we get a report on the troop deployment at Hangu Pass?" Li Mingjun asked.
"I think there will be reports coming from the tiger and leopard riding horses." Jing Rufeng said with a smile: "Li Xin is a cunning old man. I estimate that this person must have sent the troops back in batches, and even covered it up in the name of exercises." This action.”
"General, is this news reliable?" Zhao Jin asked cautiously.
"Of course it's reliable. Although I, Jing Rufeng, have been away from Qin for twenty years, I don't have no friends in Qin. King Wulie of Qin has killed countless people in his life, but he doesn't know that I, Jing Rufeng, am just a family member. I fled Qin back then. , but there are still people hiding in the Qin State. The only wish of those of us in this life is to wait for the right moment and give King Qin Wulie a fatal blow. Hahaha, what can be better than giving a blow to a country that has worked hard to become stronger? And defeat is better revenge?"
Seeing Jing Rufeng laughing like crazy, several people in the tent couldn't help but get goosebumps on their bodies.
"I have decided to launch a general attack on Hangu Pass, capture Hangu Pass, and march towards Xianyang." Jing Rufeng stood up excitedly.
"Should we report it to the court first and wait for the court to make a decision?" Zhao Jin asked.
"It's too late. While we are dispatching the army, we are informing the court. The opportunity is fleeting. If the eldest prince of Qin is captured and killed, Meng Tian will not have a master to be loyal to. He will not move. He will not If we move, Li Xin will naturally come back, and we will have lost this great opportunity in vain." Jing Rufeng said loudly: "I, Mr. Jing, have been waiting for this day for twenty years, and I may never see anything like this again in the rest of my life. This is your chance.” (To be continued)
