I’m The King

Lu Chao added another stroke to the map. This is the latest enemy movement sent back by Gouxin. Looking at the directions marked by the arrows, everyone around Lu Chao is a little confused, because the opponent's main force is actually The movement towards Changping put aside Jinyang City, the largest political, cultural and economic center in Xi Zhao.

"They don't want Jinyang anymore. What kind of play is this?" General Xu Yahua said in amazement. He used to be a general under Meng Tian's command. Two years ago, he was transferred to Lu Chao's command.

Lu Chao threw the charcoal pen in his hand and said faintly: "Because they know that my goal in this battle is not Jinyang, but Gaoyuan. They chose Changping, so naturally they have their reasons. Changping is better than Jinyang. Although Yang is much smaller, from a defensive point of view, it is more advantageous. Because of the limitations of the terrain, we can deploy limited forces, which greatly limits our strength in strength. Although Changping is small, but The terrain is difficult and it is more conducive to defense. Moreover, it is closer to Shanggu than Jinyang City, and they can more easily obtain logistical supplements and reinforcements."

"General, I don’t understand. What is the purpose of Gao Yuan? He doesn’t have to fight this battle with us. Now he only has more than 10,000 cavalry in Jinyang. Does he expect the Xi Zhao army to fight us? Is he the main force? He can completely leave." Xu Yahua frowned.

Lu Chao smiled faintly, "I didn't want to understand before, I just thought it was a good opportunity to defeat Gao Yuan, but in the past few days, I thought very clearly. I want to come to the news that my teacher is critically ill. Got it."

Xu Yahua looked up in shock, "General. They did it on purpose."

"Yes, I did it deliberately. Gao Yuan wanted to drag me to Hangu Pass. He didn't want me to return to Xianyang. That's why he deliberately showed signs. It seems that Gao Yuan expected that as long as I don't return to Xianyang. Then I will reform Daqin. Fierce political disputes will inevitably erupt between the conservative factions and the conservative factions. No matter who wins or loses, Da Qin will inevitably be greatly injured. Under the current situation, Fan Sui has the support of the king. The possibility of winning the final victory is bound to be extremely high. However, the reform that Fan Sui insisted on was the kind of big move that hurts the bones, or Gao Yuan felt that this kind of reform would also cause chaos in the country of Qin. He wanted to profit from the chaos, so this time we couldn’t think of it. Will appear in the war."

"General. If this is the case, why do we want to do as high and far away? Our army is attacking. If you don't return to Xianyang, don't you take advantage of the high and far heart?" Xu Yahua said in a puzzled way.

Lu Chao smiled bitterly and sat down slowly, "General Xu, who do you think I am better than my teacher?"

"This..." Xu Yahua looked strange. Looking at Lu Chao with some embarrassment and asking him to wipe his skin to flatter Lu Chao, he really couldn't hold back his face.

"The relationship between the king and my teacher is deep. Or is the relationship between me and the king?" Lu Chao asked again.

Xu Yahua's expression is weird. King Wulie Qin and Li Ru not only have the affection of teachers and students, but also friends for decades. Li Ru assisted King Wulie Qin to let Da Qin dominate the world. This is what Lu Chao can compare.

"It's far from it, right?" Lu Chao said: "Since the king has made up his mind, do you think it is useful for me to return to Xianyang? Let's not say whether I can return to Xianyang. Even if I go back safely, except let This internal dispute has become more fierce. It is even more cruel. What good does Yu Daqin have?"

"But the general said just now. Fan Sui's reforms are too drastic and will cause turmoil in the country, which is not good for Daqin!" Xu Yahua said.

"As far as Da Qin is concerned, it is the lesser of the two evils. These days, I also think clearly. Now that the king has decided, then I can only try to make this dispute let Da Qin suffer. The damage of the war is minimized. This war is an additional gift. Once it is won, it can boost domestic morale even more.” Lu Chaodao.

"General, in this way, your political ideals will run counter to that of Mr. Li. These people represented by Cui Shoufu are afraid that the general will be regarded as a betrayer and an enemy. As far as the general is concerned, There is no benefit." Xu Yahua said in a low voice.

Hearing what Xu Yahua said, Lu Chao burst into laughter: "General Xu, I didn’t expect you to think about me like this. You’re right. After my decision was made, since then, I have become a lonely person, a man of school. Will treat me as an enemy, and the people headed by Fan Sui will never accept me. I am truly becoming a lone minister."

Xu Yahua was silent.

"Why did my teacher succeed?" Lu Chao asked suddenly.

"That's because when the first king was still young, he forged a deep friendship with the first king, and after the first king came to the throne, he strongly supported his political ideas. For this reason, he did not hesitate to kill the precepts, the heads were rolling, and the blood was flowing. , Fang established the unique position of the Li School in Qin." Xu Yahua blurted out.

"Yes, it was the support of the king who spared no effort. General Xu is indeed a Confucian general. Unlike others, the problem is deeper. The success of the Li school comes from the support of the king, but today the king no longer supports the Li school. The concept of the Li school has been clearly defined. Cui Yuan and the others think that I hold the army in hand and have a close friendship with the king, which will inevitably affect the overall situation. That is too high for me and too underestimation of Qin. *The team system is loyal to the king." Lu Chao said with a smile.

"The general clearly sees thousands of miles." Xu Yahua admired the tunnel, "seeing the problem hit the nail on the head."

"Unless I take the one hundred thousand army of Hangu Pass to force the palace, General Xu, if I decide this way, will you go with me?"

"I, I..." Xu Yahua's face turned blood red all of a sudden, Lu Chao's question made him unable to answer, because no matter how he answered it was wrong.

Lu Chao sighed: "The two evils are the lesser of power. This is my decision. Gao Yuan wanted to drag me to Hangu Pass and Jinyang, so I agreed with him. This battle, From the book point of view, our side has the absolute upper hand. Whether it is the number of troops, the fighting power, or the length of the supply line, we have the absolute advantage. If we still cannot win this battle, then I can only say that God won't bless me, even if I can't catch Gaoyuan, but just defeat his army, I have achieved my goal."

Only now did Xu Yahua understand all Lu Chao's thoughts, "It turns out that you want to use this to show your attitude to the king."

Lu Chao was silent for a moment, "I can't tell my seniors in Xianyang that I have abandoned them and betrayed the teacher. I hope this move of mine can make them understand. Fan Sui cooperated to stabilize Daqin's interior a little bit. It would not be like when the first king took the throne decades ago, the heads were rolling and the blood was flowing."

"The general is well-intentioned."

"It's not with good intentions, but with a clear mind to protect yourself."

"I'm afraid that Cui Shoufu and the others will not agree. They opened the bow without turning their heads back. Since they have already started, I am afraid they will go to the dark one by one. What's more, in the entire Daqin, the officials of the Li school have an absolute advantage."

"That's because they don't know the current affairs and they're looking for a dead end. There is a saying in Gao Yuan that there is power in the knife, and they don't have an army, no knife, and they want to fight the king. That is to kill themselves. It will never be soft." Lu Chaodao.

Xu Yahua nodded. Every time the Chaotang reforms were earth-shaking, which one was not bloody, this time I am afraid that there will be no exceptions. When Lu Chao, the most powerful and powerful in the Li school, made such a decision, he would It has basically determined the fall of the Li School of Thought.

It was late at night, Xu Yahua blew the wet-inked letter, carefully sealed the envelope, clapped his hands, and an adjutant appeared in front of him silently.

"Send this letter back to Xianyang immediately and present it to the king." Xu Yahua said.

The adjutant took the letter, stuffed it into his arms, turned and left the camp.

"General Xu, just send it out, I'm afraid I can't hide it from the general's eyes." Behind Xu Yahua, a general whispered.

"Why did you hide it from the general? I just retelled his words today and presented it to the king without changing a word. Do you think the general doesn't know who I am? He revealed his heart to me today, too. It’s just using my mouth to show the king’s heart. For me, it’s much stronger than the general said.”

"It is so?" The general behind him exclaimed ~www.wuxiaspot.com~The general is smarter than we thought, and he understands the current affairs. My Daqin's reforms are overwhelming, but General Lu's worries are not unstoppable. Reason, so the biggest task for us soldiers right now is to fight this battle well and boost morale. This is the best gift to the king. "

"Understand!" the general said solemnly.

With these words with Xu Yahua, Lu Chao stabilized the military's mind and allowed all generals in the military to cooperate sincerely, work hard and think all the way, it is indeed very clever, senior generals in the military have their own. It’s impossible to hide many things from the background and the source of their respective information. Instead, it’s better to just pick out the method.

At this time, at a distance of a long distance from Changpingli, a tired army appeared on the road. Seeing the Changping fortress towering ahead, a leader of the generals sat on the ground, "Mother. , Finally arrived early. We arrived early, the war has not yet started!" He howled loudly.

This army was Li Mingjun, who rushed all the way from Shanggu. 15,000 people when they set off, they marched all the way to Changping, only less than 10,000 were left, and more than 5,000 soldiers fell out of the team. (To be continued)
