I’m The King Chapter 1071: :East and west (sixty-four)

After the news of Li Xin's defeat and Wang Xiao's defeat was officially announced by the Qin court, the entire Qin State fell into silence. This was the biggest defeat that Qin State had encountered in decades. Armed young and strong people in Xianyang, walking on the streets are basically soldiers who have just put on Qin uniforms or young and strong who only hold weapons and do not even have uniform uniforms. Since the national mobilization has not yet been issued Ling, except for the surrounding area of ​​Xianyang, the rest of Qin State is still nervously waiting for Xianyang's order, but the whole country has entered an extremely tense atmosphere.

The atmosphere in Xianyang is even more gloomy than that of the huge palace on the Black Ice Terrace. King Qin Wulie's personal troops, the Xuanyi Guards, have a post at three steps and a sentry at five steps, and surrounded the palace tightly. It was only a few people who walked up the steps unimpeded and pushed open the heavy door.

The third day of August is a sad day for the people of Xianyang, because on this day, the coffin of their military **** Li Xin was escorted back to Xianyang by a group of Han soldiers. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, This group of Han soldiers arrived at night, took Li Xin's coffin outside the city, and then was escorted by Qin soldiers and left Xianyang.

When the sun rose from the east, Li Xin's coffin entered the city under the **** of Qin soldiers. The Xianyang Palace was carried to the huge palace of the Black Ice Terrace, and placed in front of the bed of King Qin Wulie.

King Qin Wulie's body has completely collapsed, and he can't even sit up from the bed. Looking at the huge coffin in front of the bed, King Qin Wulie burst into tears. He stretched out his hand to support the cold coffin, "Li Xin, it was I who harmed you. When He Lanxiong successfully retreated from Dai County, I should follow your advice and give up this attack. It has become today's bitter wine. I don't know if you were blaming me before you died, but I know that I don't have enough time. Although Ying Ying is good, she is still far inferior to Gao Yuan. In your lifetime, defeat Gao Yuan and leave him with an easier situation to deal with!"

Mumbling to himself, King Qin Wulie wiped away the tears from his face.

"Li Xin, you are so stupid. Even if you have reached that point, with your ability, it is not a problem for you to escape safely. Why don't you understand that you alone are worth a hundred thousand soldiers? You Why do you risk your life for such a little hope! Why don't you run away, even if one hundred thousand troops are destroyed, but as long as you can come back, we can build another hundred thousand troops, what a big deal it will be!"

Kneeling on the side, Yingying also cried out in grief: "Father, let me express my condolences!"

King Wulie of Qin stared wide-eyed and looked at the coffin. How could Ying Ying understand his relationship with Li Xin? Li Xin had been following King Wulie of Qin since he was a child. From birth to death, together with King Qin Wulie, broke through a world, and helped King Qin Wulie ascend to the throne of Daqin. In the first few years before King Qin Wulie ascended the throne, it was Li Xin who led his troops outside and repelled the other six countries time and time again. The attack on Qin State ensured the stability of King Qin Wulie's Qin State. It was through these victories that Qin State began to grow stronger step by step. Li Xin, to King Qin Wulie, was not only a subordinate, but also He is a brother who can support life and death.

"Your Majesty, the general has passed away for a long time, it is better to bury the general as soon as possible. The court has already drawn up all the details of the general's burial, and the fourth prince has also seen it. Please feel free to bury the general!" Take a step forward, kneel down on the ground, and say.

"No hurry!" King Qin Wulie shook his head lightly, "I won't last for a few more days, so I'll put the coffin of the general here, and when I die, I'll bury him together, and I'll bury him in my mausoleum Beside."

"This..." Fan Sui was stunned for a moment. "Your Majesty..."

"There's no need to talk about it anymore, let's do it this way." King Qin Wulie waved his hand, "I'm still trying my best to hang on, just want to wait for Meng Tian to come back, and for Mr. Li to come back."

"Yes!" Fan Sui lowered his head, "My lord, according to the officer of the Han army who sent General Li away, General Wang Xiao's body will also be sent back later. Regarding the funeral of General Wang Xiao, How to deal with it?"

King Qin Wulie was silent for a moment, and said: "After Wang Xiao comes back, he can find a place to bury him. The whole Wang family has already been imprisoned, and they will all be sent to Shannan County."

"Your Majesty, this, is this too harsh? Let's not talk about Wang Xiao's past merits and demerits, but in the end he still died fighting for his country!" Fan Sui raised his head and argued.

King Qin Wulie ignored Fan Wei, but turned his head with some difficulty, and looked at Yingying, "Wang Xiao is from my great Qin family, and this time only Wang Xiao's immediate family members will go to prison. After I die, you will go to prison." The first thing you do when you ascend the throne is to order Wang Xiao to be pardoned and buried in another place, do you understand what I mean?"

Both Ying Ying and Fan Sui were startled, they looked at King Qin Wulie in disbelief, and there was a wry smile on the corner of Qin Wulie King's mouth: "I'm going to die, a person who is going to die, I'm not afraid that others will say that I'm stupid, that I'm harsh, But you are different, Yingying, you are different from me. I have been in office for ten years and have always governed with iron bowls. After you ascended the throne, you must be lenient and benevolent. As long as no one challenges your kingship and rule, Those who can tolerate it should tolerate it as much as possible until you feel that I can control the court."

"My son understands!" Yingying said with tears.

"Zhou Yu and Tan Feng control an army of 100,000. These two people have no foundation in the Great Qin. The generals under their command are all my Great Qin generals. They have no ability to influence our Great Qin government, so they can only Relying on you tightly, and relying on my Daqin's kingship, I can stretch my back. Therefore, these two people can be trusted. Needless to say, Lu Chao, you have worked with him for a long time. The suspicion is quite deep, here is not only the contradiction that Gao Yuan used his mother to win Shannan County and sent him to prison, but more, Lu Chao didn't want a person he looked down on since he was a child to be able to surpass him, so , what Lu Chao wants most is to get Gao Yuan off his horse, and step on it again. Lu Chao is above the military. After these years of tempering, he has become quite mature. You can't be as calm as Meng Tian, ​​but in the use of tactics, they are no less than these two, and you can reuse them."

"I remember."

"These two troops are now the strength of Daqin, and the 30,000 Xuanyi Guards in Xianyang. During the year you came back, you have firmly controlled them. Remember, this army must not Leave Xianyang. I have already sent Mr. Li to negotiate with Han Guo Gaoyuan. I think this time, we will have to accept many humiliating conditions. Leiying, remember, agree to everything, bear the humiliation and bear the burden. I don’t need to teach you again. You, you need at least ten years to revive our Great Qin, and train a strong army before you can go out of Hangu Pass."

"Yes!"

"Zhongli can be trusted."

"The first assistant, Fan Sui, can be entrusted with great things."

"Externally, we will try our best to support Zhao Qi against Han. King Huai of Chu will definitely be scared by Gao Yuan this time, so in a short period of time, he may fight back against us. If he dares to move, then you If you don’t move, it’s enough, and if you move, you will beat Chu State so that you can’t look west anymore, but you remember Yingying, your general strategy is to unite Chu and Zhao to fight against Han, because although King Huai of Chu is fatuous , but Huang Xie, Qu Zhong and others under his command are all very good talents. They will see the real threat of Han. Now any one of us is unable to deal with Han alone, but if we join hands Come, but it is stronger than Han."

"The son will remember this."

"There are no permanent friends between countries. If interests are aligned, they join forces. If interests conflict, swords and weapons confront each other. You can ask Fan Xiang and Mr. Li for advice on how to grasp the balance between them."

"Father, Mr. Li's national policy for our Great Qin, my son thinks it is very problematic." Yingying mustered up her courage, "Jiang Jiaquan has only supported the Han Kingdom for so many years, and the Han Kingdom has reached this point now. If it were us Daqin, so what?"

Hearing Yingying's words, King Wulie of Qin raised his hand and waved it lightly, "You are wrong, Jiang Jiaquan's ability to achieve what he is now has something to do with the special environment of Han. We follow the same pattern, and we are afraid that painting a tiger will not become an anti-dog. The strategy of governing the country and the outline of the country must not be easily shaken. Don’t look at others’ goodness and think that you can do well. Remember Luo, the one that suits you is the best .”

Listening to King Wulie of Qin's words, although Ying Ying was somewhat unconvinced, she did not dare to argue.

"You all go down, remember what I said today."

Everyone kowtowed and exited the black ice platform silently. Standing on the high steps outside the black ice platform, Fan Sui glanced at Ying Ying with some concern: "Fourth prince, what the king said just now is the most reasonable words, my Great Qin Mr. Shi Li's strategy for governing the country has been formulated for decades, from top to bottom, it has already formed its own system, intertwined, and cannot be easily moved, one touch can activate the whole body!"

"Mr. Fan, I remember that you are not a student of Master Li!" Yingying looked at Fan Sui angrily.

"Because of this, I can see more clearly that what Jiang Jiaquan and Gao Yuan did will not work in our Great Qin." Fan Sui sighed: "The one that suits us is the best. Fourth Prince, We can't learn from the Han Dynasty. We can only find other ways to make our country stronger."

Yingying nodded, walked down a few steps, and suddenly turned around: "Fan Xiang, after General Meng returns, what will the father arrange for him?"

Fan Sui took a deep look at Yingying, and there was a strange look in his eyes, "How dare I guess what the king is thinking."

Looking at Fan Sui's back in a hurry, Yingying already understood the truth that Fan Sui didn't tell. (To be continued)
