I’m The King Chapter 1293: : Continuing the past and ushering in the future (one hundred and eighty-three) summoned

Lu Chao sat by the fire, holding a special issue of Dahan Weekly in his hand. Different from Tan Feng in Yingchuan, he had to go through some twists and turns to get the Dahan Weekly in Hangu Pass, because the two sides are still in a serious military confrontation in Jinyang. , Lu Chao can get what he wants by smuggling. For him, this is not a problem, and it also gives him an excuse to deal with the court. The Han Kingdom is based on business, and Lu Chao has seen through it now. Merchants are after profit. As long as there is enough profit, they dare to do anything, even at the risk of losing their heads. Now Gou Yi is doing these things for Lu Chao. Speaking of which, these Han businessmen are bold and wild enough, and even the steel, iron, and even weapons eliminated by the Han State that are strictly prohibited from being circulated to the Qin State, They can also get it and resell it to Qin.

Looking at the weapons smuggled back by Gouyi, Lu Chao felt a bit sour. These weapons are basically 50% new. On the other hand, it was definitely still in use, but in the Han Dynasty, it had already been eliminated. It was supposed to be transported back to be melted into molten iron for recasting, but these merchants didn't know what method they used, so they made it out. That The businessman surnamed Guo had to meet him when he was free. A businessman who could get weapons must have a great background behind him.

A lot of money is spent, but in Lu Chao's view, it is all used on the blade. If these weapons are forged by themselves, let alone whether they have such a good quality, the cost alone is not enough. It will definitely not be cheaper than spending this money. What's more, privately manufactured weapons will give people benefits. This is very good now. Although the weapons in the arsenal are already piled up like mountains, Lu Chao will never mind that he only adds a few. Arsenal, once a war starts, the wear and tear of weapons is extremely alarming. If there is no supplement, is it possible for the soldiers to go to the battlefield with bare hands?

Now Lu Chao is also every issue of Dahan Weekly, he will read it carefully, and many of the information they have tried to obtain are now published in the weekly report openly, because they need to be carried by smuggling businessmen. Come here, Lu Chao always reads these newspapers for a few days at night.

This is a special issue, and almost all the pages are about the election of the head and assistant of the Han Kingdom. On the subpage, all the biographical experiences of the two candidates were even published. In Lu Chao's view, it was only a matter of tearing apart the two candidates' butts to see what color they were.

"Die!" Carefully read through this special issue. Lu Chao didn't even let go of a word, put down the newspaper, and made a two-word evaluation of Gouyi.

"General, why do you make such an evaluation?" Gou Yi has always been a qualified fan, so he asked in a timely manner.

"Gouyi, the fact that everyone recommended this happened in a dynasty a long time ago, but it disappeared later. Do you know why?" Lu Chao asked.

Gou Yi thought about it. Shaking his head, "My subordinates have always been generals, focusing more on martial arts and more on these heads. I don't do much research, so I can't compare to the general, you are all-rounder in both civil and military affairs."

"You will have fewer chances to go to the battlefield in the future, and you must be involved in political affairs. Read more history books when you have nothing to do. It will be good for you." Lu Chao gave him a dissatisfied look.

"Yes, General, the subordinates know." Gou Yi said with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye. Since he was captured by the Han people and released back inexplicably, his future in the army is completely over. To put it more clearly, with Lu Chao here, he still has a day to make a difference. Without Lu Chao, he will be trampled down In the dust, and with him, there must be the Gou family.

"There are often two extremes in people's elections. One is that the person being elected is really outstanding, and everyone in the court is sincerely convinced by him. Can the king rest assured of such a person?" Lu Chao asked.

"Naturally, I'm not at ease. If everyone obeys him, I'm afraid that the king will be easily emptied and turned into a puppet." Gou Yi nodded and said.

"The second one is that several gangs are fighting each other to the death, and they all want to push their own people up and step down others." Lu Chao said again.

"Party struggle!" Gou Yi blurted out.

"That's right, party struggle is like our current Great Qin Dynasty. Although it is not an election, it is actually a party struggle. The Great Qin has today, and it is inseparable from the party struggle. If there is still a way to solve the minister's monopoly, the party struggle But the misfortune is endless, and there will never be peace." Lu Chao sneered: "The newly established Han Kingdom, the founder of the country is naturally unparalleled in prestige, and he says what he says, but Gao Yuan doesn't know how to live or die. Of course, no one can shake his authority, but party disputes naturally arise as the times require. Have you read this issue of Dahan Weekly? How many votes did Yan Shenghao and Wu Qi compete for as the chief assistant? Only over fifty Just Zhang, according to what they said, a simple half can win the election, and Yan Shenghao was elected as the chief assistant, but this number of votes also shows that Wu Qi's current strength is not weak. In the next time, we will watch Wu Qi dismantle Yan Shenghao Only Yan Shenghao can set off Wu Qi, so the scourge of party disputes in the Han Dynasty began today."

"This is a good thing for us!" Gou Yi was beaming with joy, "General, the Han Kingdom is overwhelming us now, if they fight among themselves, it will really let us take a good breath What!"

"We are not much better!" Lu Chao's face was a little gloomy.

"The general why worry, we just stay at Hangu Pass and watch the situation rise. Fan Sui won't have much time to jump, and his reform is not far from failure."

"If he succeeds in reforming, he will slowly find ways to deal with me, but if he fails, I'm afraid the court will deal with me immediately." Lu Chao let out a long breath, "So we have to be early Get ready."

"The general is right, the faster he loses, the sooner he will deal with us, but we are not fully prepared, and neither are they. Their lack of strength is their weakness, Thirty Thousand Xuan Leaving aside Yiwei, how strong is Bai Qi's new army?"

"Don't forget about Tan Feng and Zhou Yu." Lu Chao shook his head, "These two still have a hundred thousand troops in their hands. Especially Tan Feng, the troops under his command have been trained by him for the past few years, and their combat effectiveness is extraordinary. , relying on Yingchuan's strength, this army is at least currently equipped and stronger than us."

"Tan Feng dares to move lightly. If he moves at that time, wouldn't it give the Han people a chance. This person hates Gao Yuan with gnashing teeth. I think we can win him over." Gou Yi suggested.

"Tan Feng, I can't see through." Lu Chao frowned slightly, "But you can do this first, and it won't hurt to get in touch with him. It's a good thing to pull him over, but it's the worst thing. Also keep him neutral."

"Understood!" Gou Yi nodded.

"Is there any clue about what I ordered you to do secretly?" Lu Chao threw the special edition of Dahan Weekly in his hand into the fire.

"The candidates have been found, and they have seven or eight similarities. Currently, the subordinates are training. You also know that it will take time for an ordinary person to master so many things." Gou Yi replied.

"This matter must be done well, and the confidentiality work must be in place. After it is completed, the personnel involved in this matter, you must quietly eliminate them all, and you must not let a little wind go out."

"Understood, General."

"Go ahead. Xu Yahua is coming this afternoon. I think it's time to have a showdown with him. He is my deputy. If he can't work together with me, it will always be a problem." Lu Chao thought for a while and said .

Gou Yi was taken aback, "General, you are going to have a showdown with General Xu, what is the corresponding arrangement?"

"You don't need to worry about this, just do your own thing!" Lu Chao's face turned cold.

"This subordinate has made a slip of the tongue." Gou Yi bowed his head deeply, saluted Lu Chao, turned around and strode away.

Lu Chao bent down and picked up the small copper pot beside the charcoal fire, mixed some hot water into his already cold tea, held it to his mouth, and sipped it lightly. Outsiders all say that they are beautiful, but they don't expect the pain in their hearts and the pressure on their shoulders? I am six years older than Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan has just turned thirty this year, and I am only thirty-six, but my temples are already blooming early.

Dozens of riders came galloping outside the general's mansion. The leader was Xu Yahua, Lu Chao's deputy. Compared with Lu Chao, who was only 36 years old, Xu Yahua was already very old. Nine years old, next year will be the age to know the destiny. Xu Yahua felt a little uneasy when he was called to come to the general's mansion at this time. In the past few years of following Lu Chao, he has been cautious ~IndoMTL.com~ only obeying orders, because he understands that the tree on his head The big tree that could shelter him from the wind and rain had already left when the death knell of King Qin Wulie sounded. That was something he never imagined, why would General Meng leave suddenly when he was in the prime of his spring and autumn.

As soon as Meng Tian left, his subordinates were also dismantled, and now they are under the command of several different generals, and they have basically lost contact with each other.

Everything Lu Chao did at Hangu Pass made him vaguely understand what the general was going to do, but he couldn't do anything. Lu Chao's control over the army was extremely strong. He didn't know how many people in the old department he led obeyed his orders?

For him, everything is precarious, and it all started with the sudden death of General Meng Tian.

Outside the General's Mansion, he got off his horse. There were officers from the General's Mansion waiting there. When he saw Xu Yahua, he immediately ran up to meet him, "General Xu, are you back?"

"I came back to sue on the order of the general, where is the general now?"

"The general is waiting for you in the study, please follow the future with the general Xu." The officer said with a smile on his face. (to be continued...)
