I’m The King Chapter 1209: : Carrying forward the past and ushering in the future (ninety-nine) two difficulties in advance and retreat

Li Ru was critically ill. To Lu Chao, it was like a thunderbolt exploding on his head. For him, Li Ru was not only his academic instructor, but also his political guide. Under the guidance of Li Ru, he was much higher than other people at the beginning. In more than ten years, maybe other people can work hard from a book to a county magistrate, but I am now ranked No. 1 in the Great Qin Kingdom. One of the great generals.

Of course, there is a monster stronger than himself, and that is Gao Yuan who grew up with him. Gao Yuan has created a huge kingdom, and Lu Chao has to admit that the Han Kingdom has now replaced Qin and surpassed Qin, becoming the most powerful country on this continent.

Li Ru has already passed seventy, whether it is him, or the second generation of Li Ru academic inheritors headed by Lu Chao, they have actually been silently preparing for today. In the past few years, Li Ru He has been creating a good environment for Lu Chao in the political arena, and has determined that Lu Chao is the successor and head of Li Confucianism. To ensure that after Li Ru left, the Li Ru school could still hold the right to speak in Qin.

But the layout was not perfect, especially after Fan Sui's assassination incident, Lu Chao realized that there had always been a conspiracy group in Qin State that opposed Li Ru's academics. Qin Wang Yingying's handling of Fan Sui made all the people of the Li Confucianism even more vigilant. The so-called one emperor and one courtier, after the death of King Wulie of Qin, will the new king not always adhere to the existing national policy? A dubious question.

But as long as Li Ru is still there, the King of Qin will not act without authorization, and Li Ru's body looks very good all the time. No one thought that he fell so suddenly, so unexpectedly.

Compared to Li Ru, the incident in Xizhao was nothing in Lu Chao's mind, and he also knew that Cui Yuan sent someone to inform him in a hurry. What does it mean to let him rush back to Xianyang? The Li Confucian School needs someone who can have absolute influence on Qin Wang Yingying to appear in Xianyang after the teacher's fall, and appear beside the king, and all the officials of the Li Confucian School will be rectified.

Lu Chao also knew that he had to go back to Xianyang if the teacher died. If King Qin intends to change course, Li Ru School will lose the right to speak and dominate, and there is no doubt that Li Ru School is his solid backing. If the Li Confucianism school falls, I may not have any problems for the time being, but as time goes on, no one can say for certain. It will be consumed.

Lu Chao stepped into Hangu Pass, regardless of the hardships of the journey, immediately called a meeting of all the generals of the Qin army in Hangu Pass and local civil affairs officials, and prepared to make arrangements. Immediately set foot on the road back to Xianyang.

In fact, there is not much to say. In Lu Chao's eyes, Xi Zhao is no longer an opponent of the same level. Now, to Qin Guo, they are more like pets who can be willful at times. As long as they are within the tolerance range, they may as well give them a tolerant smile, but it is too much. Of course, a beating is indispensable, this time the Jinyang Mutiny. In Lu Chao's view, this is the case, and it needs to be beaten firmly. By the way, let them please clear that the majesty of the master cannot be challenged.

Gouyi is enough to take care of this small matter. Compared with the Xianyang matter, this small matter of teaching pets is really not worth the burden. At the meeting, Lu Chao did not say a word about the Jinyang Mutiny Instead, he emphasized the stability of the army and the locality. After he returned to Xianyang, before he redeployed the guarding generals of Hangu Pass, absolute tranquility was needed here.

The tranquility here represents his authority and influence. When Gouyi quelled the Jinyang mutiny and officially turned Xizhao into a vassal of Qin, he would have enough credit and qualifications to guard Hangu Pass and lead the 100,000 troops for him.

Gou Yi is Lu Chao's absolute confidant, and Lu Chao trusts Gou Yi very much.

However, one out of ten people who are unsatisfactory in the world, at the end of the meeting, when all the important generals and officials stood up and bowed to Lu Chao to say goodbye, the door of the lobby was pushed open with a bang, and a **** man General Qin Jun stumbled in and rushed in. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, he fell to the ground with a bang, and tried his best to get up, but he had no strength at all, only a **** Stretching his hand upwards, a hoarse voice rang in everyone's ears.

"General, our army is in ambush, the cavalry of the Han army entered Jinyang on a large scale, our army is in ambush, and the danger is at stake."

With a bang, Lu Chao suddenly stood up from his seat. The movement was so big that even the chair he was sitting on was knocked over by him. All the generals and officials in the hall were stunned. After the silence, various voices of astonishment resounded in the hall.

The large-scale sudden appearance of the cavalry of the Han army in Jinyang County can only illustrate an astonishing fact, that is, Xizhao has already betrayed Daqin and became an accomplice of the Han army, and only with the help of the people of Xizhao Only in this way can the cavalry of the Han army hide from the eyes and ears of the Qin army, and appear silently, which caught the Qin army by surprise.

What does this mean? All the generals of the Qin army are very clear. Hangu Pass, which has been quiet for less than two years, will once again become the front line of defending the Great Qin.

Yes, it is defense, because everyone understands in their hearts that now, the Qin army has lost the capital to attack on a large scale. Without strong money to support it, long-distance expeditions can only be a joke.

The tooth general was carried to the side room, and several doctors were urgently called in for treatment. Half an hour later, Lu Chao appeared in the lobby again, with a sinking expression, which made all the generals and officials tremble. It was a sinking.

"Now we can be sure that Western Zhao has betrayed us. The so-called Jinyang mutiny was an out-and-out trap. Our army was attacked by a large-scale cavalry of the Han army dozens of miles away from Jinyang The attack, judging from the flags that appeared, should be the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division and the Xiongnu Independent Cavalry Division. These two cavalry divisions in the Han Dynasty are of different races and are good at riding and archery. Our infantry team was attacked by these two cavalry divisions on the way. However, the situation of the 5,000 cavalry led by Gouyi is still unknown. In addition, the 5,000 cavalry stationed by Yang Jie in Jinyang City must be gone." Lu Chao's voice was extremely low. , everyone could feel the strong, irresolvable anger of the general from Lu Chao's gloomy face that dripped water, and his extremely suppressed voice.

Anyone's family's pet suddenly bites its owner back, and the bite is not light, anyone will be furious, and everyone is waiting for the extremely angry General Lu Chao to issue a military order. Tens of thousands of troops rushed out to avenge this.

After a long silence, what all the generals heard was a military order that made them extremely puzzling.

"All generals, return to their camps, and the whole army is in a state of combat readiness, waiting for the next order."

Under everyone's surprised and puzzled eyes, Lu Chao with a livid face shook his hands and left the lobby. Generals, look at me and I look at you. I don’t understand what the general is waiting for. The Han army came too suddenly. Under such circumstances, Gouyi’s leadership was attacked by cavalry. They are two cavalry divisions of the Han army, and together they only have more than ten thousand men. In Hangu Pass, even if Gouyi's 20,000 army is completely wiped out, there will still be an army of more than 80,000. The reason for the invincibility, defeating the Han army and regaining the territory of Xizhao is not a difficult task.

Swallowing Xizhao, the general expanded the territory again, and this time for a good reason, without any political pressure, everyone did not understand why the general hesitated, why he just asked everyone to prepare for the battle, not immediately attack. Timing is everything here, because with each passing day the enemy has the potential to strengthen their forces and consolidate their victories, thus making victory more difficult with each passing day.

Bewildered, everyone left here and returned to their respective armies. Although they were puzzled, the military order must be carried out.

After the generals left, in the back hall of the general's mansion, Lu Chao was walking around like an ant on a hot pot, while on the other side of the hall, a man decorated with scribes stood Wherever he was, his face was full of anxiety.

"General, it is indeed not the time to start a war. Mr. Li is in danger. You must return to Xianyang immediately. Since the Han army is only two cavalry divisions, then any general can be qualified for this job. It doesn't prevent you from returning to Xianyang. Even if you guard Hangu Pass firmly, no one dares to say anything about you. Under such extreme weather, the enemy's situation is unclear. You should focus on prudence and defend Hangu Pass. Even if you have no merit, Never before, Xizhao is just a disease of mustard moss, and it will not be too late to come back to clean up after the major event in Xianyang."

Lu Chao glared at him fiercely~IndoMTL.com~What do you know, right now is the best time for us to attack. A cavalry division, because only they can arrive in the shortest time, their infantry must still be on their way at the moment, but every day, their reinforcements will be closer to Jinyang. Every day that passes, we are getting closer to losing Zhao. If I avoid fighting and instead return to Xianyang at this juncture, what will the king think of me? "

"General, the important thing now is not what the king thinks of you. As long as you return to Xianyang, let everyone have a backbone and gather under one banner again. You have nothing to do, if you don’t go back and choose to fight, let alone whether you can win or not, as you said, the Han army comes with cavalry, if they don’t want to fight, how do you fight against them, they have the right to choose the battlefield.”

"I don't need to choose. As long as the army goes out to attack Jinyang County, I'm not afraid that they won't come to me."

"How long will it take to fight Jinyang?" The scribe asked back. "Even if the Xizhao army is vulnerable, but they have a strong city to help them, ten days, one month, or half a year, General, have you ever thought that if this time is really needed, then everything is over. We have already got it The exact news is that the king has indeed issued an edict to call Fan Sui back to Xianyang!" (To be continued)
