I’m The King Chapter 1231: : Carrying forward the past and ushering in the future (one hundred and twenty-one) transactions

Hangu Pass, the General's Mansion, in a quiet room, Fan Sui and Lu Chao sat facing each other, their eyes met, and there was a silence between the two of them that lasted for a long time.

"Must it be like this?" Outside, the bronze horn sounded along with the passionate singing of the Qin army, from near to far, Fan Sui knew that it was another army starting from Hangu Pass and heading towards Jinyang.

"Otherwise, what else can I do?" A hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of Lu Chao's mouth.

"Your Majesty treats you as a teacher and as a friend, and never doubts. The general holds the army in his hands, why doesn't he take the fate of the Great Qin as the most important thing? You know very well that this is an impossible war to win, and it will only make you We continue to waste national power in vain, and if we do this, loved ones will suffer, and enemies will be quick!" Fan Sui had a look of pain on his face.

Lu Chao smiled lightly, "Fan Shoufu, if I returned to Xianyang instead of sending troops to Jinyang a month ago, what kind of scene do you think it would be?"

Fan Sui froze, looked at Lu Chao, not knowing how to answer.

"I couldn't enter Xianyang, because at that time, Bai Qi was waiting halfway with thousands of Xuanyi guards, and secretly, the spies commanding the Black Ice Terrace from Mingtai also laid a net. Hangu Pass returned to Xianyang, and now he has become a prisoner. Only idiots like Cui Yuan expect me to go back to Xianyang to support the overall situation. He doesn't even think about it. Since the king has made up his mind to use you, how could Allow me to go back and break this game?" Lu Chao said.

"This, is this impossible?" Fan Sui was slightly startled.

"Mingtai is just outside, if you don't believe me, you can ask him." Lu Chao spread his hands, "Fortunately, at this time, Gao Yuan launched a war. For me, this is really a timely rain , let me no longer be in a dilemma, of course I have to send troops, not only to send troops, but also to fight a big battle, only in this way can my position be as stable as Mount Tai, and more soldiers can be gathered, because, Fan Shoufu, our Great Qin , can’t stand another big defeat.”

Lu Chao stood up, "Since I can't stand a big defeat, I can only keep sending troops to me. Give me more food, grass, ordnance, and let me fight against Gao Yuan." Battle."

Fan Sui was furious, "You, you put the country at your disposal for your own benefit. Are you still the Great General of the Great Qin? How did Li Ru teach you such a bastard? buried in your hands."

Lu Chao sneered: "His life's hard work is not buried in my hands, but you. Isn't your reform a national policy that completely negates him?"

Fan Sui sat down dejectedly.

"Fan Shoufu. Do you know what my greatest wish is?" Lu Chao leaned over and asked.

"What is it?"

"When I was in Shannan County, I really wanted to contribute to Daqin and make Daqin the strongest kingdom in the world, but Gaoyuan changed me. Since then, my biggest wish is to defeat Gaoyuan, Beat him back to his original form." Lu Chao sighed: "But when I was still struggling for my own destiny and my position, Gao Yuan had already laid down a huge territory, holding dozens of powerful troops in his hands. In the end, the huge Han Empire was built. He and I both came from Fufeng. At that time, he was just a bastard, but after ten years, when people talk about me and him, they will only think that he is better than him. I am stronger than countless times, but only I know what kind of person he is, so my greatest wish is to knock him down, destroy the Han Kingdom he built, and bring him back to his original form From this perspective, Fan Shoufu, our goals are the same."

"Since they are consistent, why did you do such a thing again?" Fan Sui asked rhetorically.

"It's very simple. If I want to achieve this goal, I must first stay in this position!" Lu Chao laughed loudly, "If I lose this position, I will be a person with nothing. What can I do to defeat him?" Gao Yuan? So, I can’t go back to Xianyang to be a prisoner, let alone wait for you to sing and sing with the king after you come to power, and slowly deprive me of my military power.”

"There is no such thing." Fan Sui shook his head and said, "Both the king and I appreciate the general's talent."

"Not now, but it doesn't mean there won't be in the future. Will you tolerate me, Li Ru's closed disciple, the designated heir of the Li School, who holds tens of thousands of military power? Of course not, I won't go back to Xianyang, let the king put it down for now Don't worry, but as a king, how can you leave an uncertain factor out? Next, you must use gentle methods to slowly deprive me of my military opportunities. In the end, you may deprive me Transferred back to the court, to be a titular captain?" Lu Chao laughed.

Fan Sui took a deep breath, this was indeed his original consideration, in Ying Chuan, he and Tan Feng also considered this way.

"But this war changed everything. Speaking of it, I really want to thank Gao Yuan! In my most difficult time, the Jinyang Mutiny gave me a solid opportunity. He has a heart, and I do, naturally It hit it off right away. Now you naturally understand my intentions, but so what? You have to compromise with me, come to exchange with me, that's why this trip to Hangu Pass is possible, right?"

Fan Sui looked at Lu Chao with a smile on his face, "Lu Chao, you really have sinister intentions! You exchanged the blood of countless soldiers for your own selfishness, and started a large-scale war with Gao Yuan. Now we can't win at all. , if you can't win, how can you achieve your goal to defeat Gao Yuan?"

"First of all, I have to ensure that I stay in this position before I can talk about confronting Gao Yuan." Lu Chao dismissively said, "Second, how to beat him is not just me. The problem is still your problem, Fan Shoufu, this is the reason why I tolerate you going back to Xianyang, because if Cui Yuan continues to be in charge of the government, Daqin will get worse and worse, although your reform plan is also on the tip of the knife Dancing, you may fall into the abyss at any time, but there is finally a sliver of hope. Do you know? The team to kill you has already assembled, as long as I nod, they can start, they can They weren't the useless guys that Cui Yuan sent out, but in the end, I disbanded them."

Fan Sui's brows twitched a few times, he had guessed this before, and now he got confirmation from Lu Chao.

"Daqin's reform is not as sinister as you said!" He raised his head and said. "Although he is dancing on the tip of the knife, I am sure that he will dance until the perfect curtain call."

Lu Chao laughed, "Well, since you are so confident, I will naturally wait and see. In fact, Fan Shoufu, I also hope you succeed! Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"The Li Confucianism School has controlled the Daqin government for decades, and its forces are intricate. Seven out of ten Daqin officials are members of the Li's School. I can get rid of Cui Yuan and the like, but I can't get rid of this Huge groups have the ability to dismiss them all, so I need their support." Fan Sui said.

Lu Chao smiled slightly, "The original plan should be to take down Cui Yuan and others, and then take down me, and then the Li School will have no leader, and then use the means of division and win over?"

"What's the use of talking about it now?" Fan Sui said.

"It's really useless. I'm afraid that lunatic Tan Feng wanted to take me down a long time ago. He should be in the top position. It's a pity that he underestimated me." Lu Chao said coldly: "I can agree to this one." , and then I will write a letter to Wang Shang, expressing my full support for your internal affairs reform, but Fan Shoufu, what can you give me?"

"What do you want?"

"Since you are in charge of the country's internal affairs, then I want the country's military power, and all the troops of Daqin must obey my orders." Lu Chao replied brazenly.

"Are you crazy? Da Qin has been General Li Xin since the founding of the country, and he didn't have this power. At that time, there were still Ying Teng, Wang Xiao, and Meng Tian?"

"Today is different from the past. They are all dead. Fan Shoufu, who else can you count on besides me? Tan Feng? That is a guy who is not willing to be in the hearts of the people. A trash, Bai Qi, with too little qualifications, holding the Xuanyi Guard in his hands is already reluctant, now our Great Qin is facing the biggest crisis since the founding of the country, if the military power cannot be unified, and each goes his own way, it will only lose faster."

"The king won't agree?"

"As long as you and I are unified, the king will have to agree. You won't worry about my rebellion, will you?" Lu Chao laughed.

"I'm really not worried about this." Fan Sui shook his head.

"Since that's the case, what are you worried about? What I want is military power, and my purpose is to defeat the Han State. You also understand that if the Han State is not defeated, the Great Qin will never recover."

"I will try to convince the king~IndoMTL.com~Fan Sui hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Very good. Now that our deal has been concluded, I think we will cooperate seamlessly in the days to come." Lu Chao said with a smile, "You are in charge of government affairs, and I am in charge of military affairs. Can find a chance."

Fan Sui took a deep look at Lu Chao, "General, do you think about the future when you do this?"

"There is nothing to think about in the future." Lu Chao sneered: "If your reform fails, we will naturally fail, and we will die if we lose. There is no pity. If we win by chance, I defeated Gao Yuan, I have defeated Han, and my wish has been fulfilled. At that time, even if the king wants to punish me, I have nothing to regret."

Hearing this, Fan Sui was dumbfounded, "You really are crazy."

"Gao Yuan also said this to me. My answer is that if you are not crazy, you will not survive. Fan Shoufu, please tell Mingtai not to try to do anything in my army. My tolerance is limited. Yes, if he spends his energy on my subordinates instead of the enemy, don't blame me for being rude to him. He is not Zhongli, and I have no scruples about dealing with him now." (To be continued...)
