I’m The King Chapter 1208: : Carrying forward the past and ushering in the future (Ninety-eight) New Year’s bell (continued eighth)

Cao Tianci didn't keep Gao Yuan waiting for too long. This year he stayed in Qin State for more than half a year. Under his single-handed promotion, the intelligence network set up by the Overwatch Council in Qin State was once again perfected, and the manpower was improved. With the greatest degree of strengthening, more Qin officials were instigated to become part of this network. For more than half a year, as the newly established National Security Bureau in Han State shifted resources from Qin State, this network The network is constantly being strengthened. And now, the NSA has paid off.

"Li Ru fell ill, and his life is not long?" Gao Yuan looked at Cao Tianci in surprise, "Isn't the information for a while now showing that Li Ru is still alive and kicking, why is he dying all of a sudden?"

"Li Rubi is actually very old. He is already over seventy, which is a rare longevity. At this age, a headache and brain fever may cause irreparable and serious consequences." Cao Tianci explained.

"That's true." Gao Yuan nodded. In this era where the average age is only fifty years old, Li Ru can indeed be regarded as a real long-lived old man. Li Ru's critical illness will inevitably cause a shock in Qin's political arena. This academic master who has influenced King Qin Wulie's life has created a powerful and incomparable Qin State, making Qin State the dream of all countries in the world. Qin State has destroyed countless countries. The old man should be the first one on the credit list.

And Li Ru also got the glory he deserved. His theory became the official academic of Qin State. Other schools were ruthlessly suppressed and had to struggle to survive. Above, there are officials of Li Ru school, occupying an overwhelming advantage. Li Ru has never held any official position in his life, but his influence on Qin State politics. But no one can compare.

However, with the rise of the Eastern Expedition Army led by Gao Yuan until the birth of the Han State, the mighty Han State pursued a completely different national policy from the Qin State, but gradually became stronger, forcing the Qin State to retreat step by step.

The new King of Qin, Yingying, has been to Jishi County of Han. I have seen the prosperity of the Han Dynasty with my own eyes. Jishi City is just a newly built city, but under the promotion of Gao Yuan, the prosperity is far better than that of Xianyang in the Qin Dynasty. In the current state of Han, if Jicheng is the mind, there are many factories. Jishicheng, which has many companies and is constantly innovating, is the powerful heart of this giant, constantly injecting fresh blood into the mind.

The large influx of merchants from the Han Kingdom brought not only the latest and most dexterous products from the Han Kingdom. The most applicable products also brought the way of thinking, operation mode, and management style of the Han people. Although the court did not move, the people, especially the merchants, took the lead in imitating the business behavior of the Han. The most powerful Yongqin Chamber of Commerce is the first to act.

The largest shareholder of the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce is the Qin royal family, if there is no acquiescence of Qin Wang Yingying. The reform of the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce cannot be promoted. The operation and management of the current Yongqin Chamber of Commerce is just like the Four Seas Commerce and Trade in the Han Dynasty. Of course, the current Sihai Commerce and Trade has been dismembered by Gao Yuan in sevens and eighties. The establishment of dozens of industry associations makes the current Sihai Commerce and Trade more like a gathering salon for business leaders.

Gao Yuan did this because he was worried that the commerce and trade in the world would be too big to lose, and he would focus on customers. At the same time, with the rapid expansion of the Han Dynasty, the commerce and trade in the four seas became increasingly swollen. Whether it is a decision or an execution. The efficiency gradually decreased, but after decomposition, the disease disappeared quickly. The establishment of a new industry association was like a gust of fresh wind blowing across all walks of life in Han, and the competitiveness and innovation were once again stimulated.

Of course, although the King of Qin promoted the reorganization of the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce, he would never allow industry associations to become independent like the current Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. King Qin was also worried that his control over the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce was not strict enough. How could he allow this? The occurrence of this situation?

Qin Wang Yingying has begun to doubt the correctness of Li Ru's academics, this is unquestionable, otherwise Fan Sui would not have survived after being exposed to assassinate Li Ru, and was exiled to Tanfeng In the army, it is not so much exile as it is protection.

However, Li Ru assisted King Wulie of Qin throughout his life, and Li Ru's academic influence on Qin was deeply rooted. If Yingying wanted to make a move, he would inevitably touch the root of this huge power network. The fundamental changes in the outside world, how dare Yingying act at will, and the first change of the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as a kind of temptation for Yingying.

But people are not as good as heaven. Li Ru is critically ill at this critical moment and may lose his life at any time. Without Li Ru as the leader, Yingying's scruples will be much smaller, whether it is threats, temptations, or divisions. If it disintegrates, the space in which it can operate will be greatly increased.

Cui Yuan, who succeeded Fan Sui as the new chief assistant, sent someone to quickly inform Lu Chao to return to Xianyang immediately. The Li Confucian school needed a new and strong helm. And the only one who can succeed Li Ru as the leader is Lu Chao.

This is the reason why Lu Chao left the army and hurried back to Hangu Pass. He had to make arrangements for Hangu Pass as soon as possible, and then return to Xianyang to take charge of the overall situation.

After Gao Yuan figured this out, his eyes suddenly brightened. This is an excellent opportunity to disrupt the political situation of Qin State. Although Qin State is now in decline and the economy is in an extremely difficult situation, the Qin State court still has strong control over the local area. This is also the reason why Qin State The reason why it is still able to hold on to the confrontation with Han.

Xizhao Zhao Xilie's actions can be regarded as piercing through a thick blood vessel in Qin State. If there is another chaos in Qin State, then Qin State will not be far from death.

"Lu Chao cannot be allowed to return to Xianyang." Gao Yuan said to Cao Tianci.

"Ah?" Cao Tianci was puzzled, "Master, if Lu Chao returns to Xianyang, it will be helpful for us to attack Hangu Pass. I have to say that Lu Chao is a formidable opponent. With him in the letter Guguan will make it more difficult for us to succeed, and it will even be difficult to succeed. If Lu Chao leaves and a new general arrives, who is not familiar with Hanguguan soldiers, and may not be handy in command, we will It's easy to get."

Gao Yuan smiled and shook his head: "You are wrong. There are many ways to fight. The one you mentioned is the worst strategy. Soldiers and horses fight each other on the spot. Bai, given the current political situation in Qin State, keeping Lu Chao in Hangu Pass is much more beneficial to us than letting him go back."

"Master, I don't quite understand." Cao Tianci shook his head.

"Li Ru is going to die. Once Li Ru dies, the last mountain that weighs on King Qin's head will also disappear. Yingying will not have too many worries about what to do, but if Lu Chao goes back, Li Ru The Confucian School regained its cohesion, and with Lu Chao’s background in the military, he returned to Xianyang. In both military and political affairs, the Li Confucian School will still occupy an overwhelming advantage, but if we stick Lu Chao to Hangu Pass, we will People who can help the King of Qin wipe out the Li Ru school step by step will help."

"What good is this for us?" Cao Tianci asked blankly.

"The benefits are huge." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "If I guess correctly, once Li Ru dies, Yingying will definitely recall Fan Sui, depose Cui Yuan, and recruit Fan Sui as the chief assistant. What does King Qin want to do?"

"Promote reform!" Cao Tianci said: "Of course it is for this. Wasn't that why Fan Sui wanted to become Li Ru?"

"That's right, Fan Sui will do this. At that time, Qin's reformers and Li Ru's conservatives will clash head-on, and the chaos in Qin's court will really begin. If it is weakened, the opposition forces suppressed by the Qin court for too long will take advantage of the chaos." Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Li Ru is very accurate in one thing, he knows that our sleep policy is indeed good, but it does not apply In the current state of Qin, if Li Xin went out of the customs and beat us to death, Li Ru would have taken the initiative to implement the strategy that our big man pursued, but Li Xin and Wang Xiao failed. When the time comes, external and internal troubles will break out, Qin will not be able to hold on, but now that Li Ru can't do it, once he dies, Ying Ying will be eager to promote the reform, and Lu Chao will become the only obstacle Therefore, it is the best choice not to let Lu Chao go back."

"So that's how it is. This is a battle without gunpowder~IndoMTL.com~ I'm still a master, I can only see the benefits in front of me, but I can't think of further." Cao Tianci nodded and said: "Master this time Call me, and I will understand."

"At first I thought this battle would end here, and everyone could go home and have a good New Year, but now it seems that it will last for a long time. Godsend, we are going to send troops to Hangu Pass, and we have to deal with Hangu Pass. Guguan maintains strong pressure, I want to rebuild the Hedong camp that Zhao Mu built back then." Gao Yuan stood up, pacing back and forth in the big tent.

"East Hu Independent Cavalry Division, Xiongnu Independent Cavalry Division, the strength is far from enough. After the Western Zhao army is reorganized, there will be no army left. We must at least mobilize several armies to come over. We must maintain 100,000 troops in the Hedong camp. With more troops, this can form a strong deterrent to the Qin people.”

"But master, this is not something that can be done in a short time. Now that Lu Chao has returned to Hangu Pass, what if he goes back desperately?"

Gao Yuan smiled lightly, "Lu Chao hates me very much. If I show up outside Hangu Pass, he will definitely hesitate for a few days. Whether to return to Xianyang or stay and see the truth with me. Kung fu, I believe Qin Wang Yingying will not let go of this opportunity. Wang Ming who asked him to stay at Hangu Pass to defend our army will definitely arrive at Hangu Pass. At that time, he will not be able to go back even if he wants to. "(to be continued)
