I’m The King Chapter 1052: :East and west (forty-five)
When Fan Sui received the urgent military report from Shannan County, he was nervously dealing with the government affairs at hand. Daqin now has hundreds of thousands of troops fighting outside, and the daily necessities of food and transportation , like a heavy mountain on top of his head, he can only rest for one or two hours a day, but fortunately, he is old and sleeps less, and he is good at government affairs, although he is busy, he can He was able to cope with it, and what made him even more troubled was that because of this war, the domestic economy had reached a dangerous edge. It was only June now, and there were still several months before the autumn harvest. I am afraid that some places in the country will starve to death this year. People.
While he was sighing and sighing, the few lines of the urgent military newspaper he received almost made him fall to the ground. Supporting his body, he tried his best not to show any abnormalities on his face. In the wing where he handles political affairs, there are more than a dozen low-level officials who are assisting him in handling various documents and sorting them into different categories. He cannot let this + pig + pig + island + novel + www + z + some people see the slightest clue.
Taking a deep breath, he straightened his body, raised his head, stuffed the general newspaper into his sleeve, and glanced majestically at the officials in the room who were looking at him curiously. With a soft snort, these people immediately lowered their heads, not daring to take another look.
Staying in the room for a while, he walked out of the door slowly with figure eight steps. When he heard the door close behind him, the calmness on his face disappeared. The long attendants beside him He rushed over and stood beside him carefully.
"Who is the person who sent the military report? Bring him to the small hall to meet me!" Fan Sui's voice trembled a little, Chang Sui didn't know the content of the military report, and looked at his master in amazement.
"Go!" Fan Sui's voice was very low, but the ferocity inside was extremely obvious.
Sitting in the small hall, Fan Sui drank the cold water in the kettle in one go, and kept telling himself to be calm, calm.
A military man who was covered in a man's stench, his clothes were covered with dust, and he couldn't tell his original color came in, and knelt down in front of Fan Sui.
"What position do you serve under Fan Zhang?" Fan Sui asked. The current general of the Qin army stationed in Shannan County is called Fan Zhang, and he is a seasoned and prudent general. People come here.
"Returning to the Prime Minister, Zhu Qiang, the last general, is General Fan's deputy!" Jun Han said.
"Get up and talk!" Fan Sui nodded: "After you entered Xianyang, who else have you had contact with, or who have you mentioned this matter to?"
"The villain knows the seriousness. After entering Xianyang, he came directly to see Prime Minister Fan. He didn't go to other places, and he didn't mention this matter to anyone. This is also General Fan's confession." Zhu Qiang said.
"Talk about the specific situation!" Fan Sui pointed to the lower chair.
"Yes!" Zhu Qiang put half of his **** on the chair cautiously. For him, although he is the deputy general of Shannan County City, the chance of seeing the first assistant is very small." It's like this... ..."
Zhu Qiang spoke very quickly, he didn't know too much, and he also knew that Fan Sui was also very anxious at this time, and he would not have much time left for himself.
"But Yu is still alive?" Fan Sui raised his eyes, "Why didn't he come back in person?" As a senior general who personally participated in this battle, since Yu was alive, logically speaking, he should be the come back.
"Master, the Eastern Field Army led by He Lanxiong and Agu Wynn's Donghu Independent Cavalry Division of the Han Army are approaching Shannan County, but General Yu still has 5,000 cavalry under his command. General Fan hopes that General Yu can Stay there and help him resist the attack of the Han army and defend the city of Shannan County." Zhu Qiang explained.
"Don't leave here, I will let someone arrange your residence, and you don't want to meet anyone, just wait for the king to summon you at any time!" Fan Sui stood up.
"The king will meet the last general?"
"It's possible that the king is well versed in military affairs, so he might call you to ask for details. You should take care of what you know!"
"Yes, Master Xiang!"
Fan Sui nodded at him, walked out of the small hall, and stretched out his hand to call for a long follower: "Arrange him to rest, don't let anyone see him, except you, you will personally deliver all the necessities of life."
"Yes, Master Xiang!"
Fan Sui let out a long sigh. He seemed to see a strong storm coming towards Xianyang. The mountain is about to rain and the wind is overwhelming! How did you lose? Why did you lose so badly?
General Li, what is the meaning of this?
Step by step towards the black steps of the Black Ice Terrace, stepping into the black palace, Fan Sui only felt that his steps were getting heavier and heavier, as if he was dragging a thousand catties on his feet, and every step forward was extremely difficult. Your body is already very weak, can you withstand such a blow?
Although the steps are long, there is a moment when the waiter pushes open the two heavy doors. I shuddered.
Stepping on the black icy ground, Fan Sui walked forward all the way, King Qin Wulie's bed was propped up in the center of the hall, and a person in front of the bed was kneeling and sitting on the ground, looking at the memorial in his hand, it was Prince Ying English.
"Shoufu!" Yingying saw Fan Sui, leaned over and called out in a low voice.
"Fourth prince, is the king asleep?" Fan Sui bowed to Yingying, and also knelt down in front of King Qin Wulie's bed, looking at King Qin Wulie with his eyes closed.
"Yes, these days, I haven't slept well, and I have frequent palpitations, because I haven't rested well, but I'm getting thinner and thinner!" Yingying looked at her father's pale face worriedly.
Fan Sui sighed, the king's body was already overwhelmed, but the bad news came at this time. He quietly handed the military report in his hand to Ying Ying: "Prince, please take a look."
Yingying glanced at Fan Sui strangely, and unfolded the military newspaper in his hand.
The next moment, the military report floated to the ground. Ying Ying's hand fell powerlessly, and touched the pile of memorials to the ground, making a loud clatter.
King Qin Wulie slowly opened his eyes and looked at the two of them: "What happened?"
He asked slowly.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, my minister was too careless!" Yingying tidied up the scattered memorials in a panic, but with wandering eyes and trembling hands, King Qin Wulie still frowned.
I have been working hard to cultivate this son over the years. His temper, temperament, and ability have always been gathered to him through different channels. Yes, something big must have happened, and the only thing that can make Yingying panic now is the military ahead.
"Where did you lose the battle?" King Qin Wulie turned to look at Fan Sui, "Lu Chao?"
Fan Sui shook his head.
"Meng Tian?"
Fan Sui remained silent, but lowered his head a little lower.
"It's Li Xin!" King Qin Wulie's voice lowered, "Is it a big loss? I shouldn't insist on letting him take the risk. He had already planned to occupy Shannan County and stop here. I was afraid of myself. I didn’t have enough time, so I was lucky enough to count on the people of Qi, Chu, and Meng Tian Luchao to restrain the main force of the Han army so that Li Xin could perform meritorious service. Show me Li Xin’s military report.”
King Qin Wulie stretched out his hand.
Yingying's body trembled a little more. Kneeling up straight.
"Your Majesty, General Li can't write a military report for you anymore. This military report was written by Fan Zhang from Shannan County." Fan Sui said in a low voice.
"What did you say!" With a cry, King Qin Wulie sat up straight on the bed, looking directly at Fan Sui, "What did you just say about Li Xin?"
"Your Majesty, General Li can no longer write military reports to you."
King Qin Wulie snatched Fan Zhang's military newspaper from Ying Ying's hands, and with a glance, he froze.
"Father!" Looking at King Qin Wulie whose face was gradually turning red, Ying Ying got up and stretched out her hand to support King Qin Wulie's back.
With a puffing sound, King Wulie of Qin opened his mouth, blood gushing out from his mouth, he leaned back and fainted in Yingying's arms.
"Shoufu, call me the imperial doctor, call me the imperial doctor!" Yingying yelled in panic.
Fan Sui ran towards the palace gate.
When King Qin Wulie woke up, it was already midnight. The death of Li Xin seemed to have truly knocked down the supreme ruler of Great Qin. For an hour, I didn't spit out a word.
"Father!" Yingying finally couldn't bear it anymore and called out.
"Do you know, why didn't I mention Li Xin first?" King Qin Wulie said quietly, "Because I already knew about it at that time, if there is any one of our three-way army, there is a danger of failure. , I counted him this one, but I never thought why Li Xin was wiped out by the whole army? It shouldn't be, with his ability, even if he is defeated, it is not difficult to escape by himself!"
"Your Majesty, Dan Yu fled back to Shannan County City. He should know the details, but because the Han army He Lanxiong was pressing on Shannan County City, Fan Zhang left him there to help defend. This time the person who came back to report was Zhu Qiang, Fan Zhang's deputy general." Fan Sui said.
"The news hasn't spread yet?"
"Not yet, I have already put Zhu Qiang under house arrest. This person knows the seriousness. After arriving in Xianyang, I didn't see anyone except my servant, and I didn't reveal any information."
King Qin Wulie turned his head slightly and looked at Yingying: "Yingying, what do you think should be done?"
"Father, my son thinks that all news should be blocked first, and only after the corresponding arrangements are made, will the news of General Li's defeat and death be slowly revealed bit by bit." Yingying said.
"Fan Sui, what do you think?"
Fan Sui hesitated for a moment, "I think what the fourth prince said is right."
King Qin Wulie shook his head, "We can't hide it. How could we hide such a big thing? Even if we want to hide it, the secret work of the Han army will find a way to stir up trouble in the city. Don't hide it, Fan Sui, in the early morning court tomorrow, Yingying will go to the court on my behalf, and formally inform everyone about this matter, announce this matter to the entire Qin State, and tell my subjects that Great Qin has suffered a big defeat, but it is nothing. Twenty Years ago, when I first ascended the throne, the Allied Forces of the Six Nations fought all the way to the city of Xianyang, didn’t we win in the end? Although this time was critical, it was much better than that one.” (To be continued... ...)
