I’m The King

Chapter 1265: : Carrying on the Past (One Hundred and Fifteen) The Mouse in the Bellow

Yingying had to swallow the flies that made him nauseous. Although the edict denounced the superintendent Lu for being generous and incompetent, the county guard Mei Changchun was faint and lacking, but the actual punishment was not at all, or even the opposite. , Gave them more discretion on the occasion, allowing them to raise their own money and food, recruit troops independently, and reduce or exempt two-thirds of the tax and silver that Shu County handed over to the court in a year to quell the insurgents. This is a total of hundreds. Income of ten thousand taels of silver.

"I don't know how much they can use these silver to eliminate bandits?" Looking at the decree before the ink was dried, Yingying smiled bitterly at her confidant ministers.

Mingtai lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, Bai turned his head and looked at him, but Fan Sui couldn't help but answer.

"My lord, they don’t dare to do anything wrong anymore. After all, this is a matter of their wealth and life. If the gangsters take possession of Shu County, their vast possessions will be wiped out. Even if it’s not for Daqin, but for themselves, they will also He will do his best. What's more, the king has appointed Zhong Kui as a general. This person now has a hatred of ruining the family with the bandits. The blood and blood of his parents and brothers are deeply revenge. The heart of revenge must be eager. It's a supervisor."

"For the family and not for the country?" Yingying sneered a few times, "but waited for the king to slow down for a while, then come and calculate the account with them one by one."

At Hangu Pass, Lu Chao, after reading the court’s newspaper that he had just sent, threw his hand aside, and said coldly: "Fan Sui is really faint in dealing with this matter."

"General, the general will think that Fan Shoufu's handling of this matter is not improper. At the moment, the current situation in the country, the fight is out of time." Gou Yi picked up the papers that Lu Chao had thrown on the ground, puzzled. Asked.

Gou Yi was captured alive in the Jinyang Change. After being imprisoned by the National Security Bureau for a while, he was unexpectedly released. For this reason, Li Mingjun was very dissatisfied. He approached Xu Yuan, the commander of the First Military Region, to ask for an explanation, but Xu Yuan blocked him back with a single sentence: This is The order given by the king himself.

Not only was the Han army puzzled, but even the Qin people themselves couldn't understand, or only Lu Chao knew the sinister intentions of Gao Yuan. He didn't have enough manpower, and he was afraid that he could not control the army in his hand. Only then did he put his confidant back, not to mention that this action would make many people in the Qin army suspicious, and it would also make Qin Chao's center wonder if he was in collusion with Gao Yuan. What is a collusion? Talk about breaking the sky. It's just a good general.

However, Lu Chao was also an arrogant person. He made a clear plan to calculate himself. If he killed Gou Yi, he would not only break his arms, but also lose the allegiance of other members of the Gou family. It would be more than a loss. Although the Gou family was not a big door in the Qin State, he joined the army, and his eldest brother Gou Ren died in the early years, leaving Gou Yi. Gouli, Gouzhi, Gouxin. They were all military generals, and Gao Yuan's move would kill many birds with one stone.

Gouyi could no longer lead troops, Lu Chao arranged for him to be a counselor with the army by his side to help with some important military affairs. This person had a deep understanding of military affairs, and after this incident. He is even more devoted to himself, Gou's family. Having completely become one of his most trustworthy subordinates, it can be regarded as a small compensation.

"Gou Yi, you read the military report of the riots in Shu County last year. Compared with this year's military report, what is the difference?" Lu Chao sat down, and Gou Yi hurriedly held the tea cup and offered it to him. After being captured for several months, he was taken prisoner. It has been several months since I put it back, and the former Immediately Xiaojiang has been a little blessed, and it's a circle compared to the previous one.

"It is indeed very different. This year's bandits are no longer a swarm of mess. Obviously they are organized, premeditated, and chained. Compared with last year's riots, they are simply different." Gouyi said.

"In one year, these bandits have grown so much as if they were replaced by someone else? And they are still a group of mud legs that don't know a lot of people?" Lu Chao took a sip of tea shallowly.

"The general said that someone was intervening in this matter?" Gou Yi's mind flashed.

"The country of Han must have intervened in this matter. It is exactly the same as what happened in the country of Qi. I can be sure that it is not someone else who really controls the peasant army of the riot, but it must be a person from the country of Han. They are suddenly unable to get out, no. It is their brilliance to plot the city of Shujun." Lu Chaodao.

"Now the people in Shu County are panic. There are many bandits and the momentum is strong. If you take the city of Shu County, you can take full control of Shu County. Why does the general say that this is their brilliance?" Yi shook his head.

"First," Lu Chao raised a finger: "The city of Shu County is not that easy to fight, and the wasteful people in Shu County finally did one thing right, and withdrew all the troops they could control to the city of the county. In the middle, the county city has at least the strength to protect itself. Even if these bandits have the Han people to intervene to train and command, they should attack such a fortified city without even thinking about it. They suffered heavy losses and gained nothing. In addition to their core strength, many of these bandits are just people who follow the trend or are bound. Such a team is brave in a downwind battle, but a slight setback will inevitably suffer a big loss. Military Xin, obviously, the other party knows this clearly. This is also my judgment that the person in charge of this team must be from the Han country. With the knowledge of those mud-legged people, I'm afraid I can't think of so much."

Gou Yi nodded slightly.

"Secondly, if the county city is still there, it has not broken through the bottom line of the imperial court, and the imperial court thinks that Shu county can still be supported. As long as the county is working hard, it will surely defeat these bandits like last year. The edict of the king, but this is precisely the most wrong point. The peasant army does not fight the county city because the people also need to reorganize and strengthen their strength. You have seen the power of the Han army, taking time. In Shu County, there will inevitably be a Han* team that does not fight the banner of Han. If the county city is defeated, the court will not tolerate it. No matter how difficult it is, it will send regular troops to destroy them. But now, the court’s response can be said to be positive. Those insurgents in the middle of the world are pregnant, Gou Yi, do you think the court has spent millions of taels of silver for Lu Dafang and Mei Changchun's waste. Can they really use all of this money for military training? And the appointment of Zhong Kui? The main general is even more ridiculous. A wealthy son who has never been on the battlefield and only knows the common people, even if he is familiar with the military books and thinks that he is incomparable, will he be the opponent of those Han Chinese who have experienced many battles?"

Gouyi shivered, "I'm afraid that most of the money will fall into the hands of corrupt officials."

Lu Chao nodded, "So I said that the day when these gangsters in Shu County launched an offensive again, it was when Shu County fell. In fact, the best thing the court should do now is to send an army to suppress it like a thunder. Going down is the best policy."

"But the court can't send it out?" Gou Yi said.

Lu Chao laughed, "If you want, you can of course send troops. Tan Feng can't move, Zhou Yu's can't move, can't Xuan Yiwei also can't move? Can't I also move here?"

"If I don't move me, I'm worried that I will take this opportunity to take control of Shu County again, and my strength will be strengthened again. If I don't move Xuanyiwei, it's guarding me. Our king is worried that I'm plotting wrong!" .

Gou Yi carried sweat on his back and thought about it carefully. The general's deeds in the past year seemed to be conspiring to be unruly.

"Our king still doesn't really understand me. What I want is power, and what I want is the power to deal with lofty places. But I am not interested in the position of the king. Even if I want to, can I sit still? I really want to do this, Xu Yahua is the first one to not agree."

Xu Yahua was Lu Chao's first general and was born in the old Mengtian division. Although Lu Chao is now in an alliance with Lu Chao, Lu Chao really wants to usurp the throne, and he will never agree to it. Gouyi is also from Qin. If Lu Chao tells him one day that he wants to lift the seat of King Qin and do it by himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to pass this hurdle in his heart. When there is such a day, Gouyi wants to do it by himself. That is to go far and fly high. At this time, hearing Lu Chao's candid heart, he was greatly relieved.

"Since the general sees so clearly, why not explain the truth to the king?"

"The king misunderstood me deeply. What I did before was just self-protection. Otherwise, I would be Fan Sui's next goal. Now I don’t want to be on the table. Once I get on the table, I will let the king go. The prejudice is deeper, the misunderstanding between us is deep enough, and these misunderstandings will probably never be clarified, so we can only keep silent."

"No~www.wuxiaspot.com~ General, there must be a clarification day. When you defeat Gao Yuan and destroy Han, the king will naturally understand the loyalty of the general!"

"Be loyal and loyal!" Lu Chao smiled, "I'm protecting myself. In order to let the teacher's doctrine have a place in Qin, I have done a lot of disobedience. If I really defeat Gao Yuan, it will be destroyed. On that day in Han, I was able to retreat to the countryside and be a rich man. Thank God. As a big son, I am now detained in Xianyang. Doesn't it explain the problem?"

Mentioned this matter, Gou Yi was also distracted. Originally, he was going to receive Lu's mother and the general's father-in-law's family from Hangu Pass, but somehow leaked the news, and Mingtai took the lead and blocked the family. At home, Lu Chao can directly ask for someone, but in this way, he will inevitably tear his face completely.

"The general, what should we do next?" Gou Yi now only feels that the general is sandwiched between Han and Qin Ting.

"We just do it ourselves." Lu Chao said indifferently. "The imperial court is now preparing and training the new army from Bai Qi, and its support for us will become less and less. In addition, the control of the army must be strengthened. The imperial court will not forget to compete with me for the generals in the army. If you find such signs, kill Wu He!" (to be continued)
