I’m The King Chapter 1265: : Carry on the past and open up the future (155) The mouse in the bellows

Ying Ying had no choice but to swallow this fly that made him sick to his stomach. Although the imperial edict denounced the special envoy Lu Dafang for being incompetent, and the county guard Mei Changchun was not responsible for his duties, the actual punishment was not at all, or even the opposite In doing so, they were given more arbitrariness on the fly, allowed them to raise their own money and food, recruited troops independently, and reduced or exempted two-thirds of the tax money that Shu County handed over to the court for one year to quell the bandits. An income of one million taels of silver.

"I don't know how much of the money they can use to eradicate the banditry?" Looking at the wet edict, Yingying smiled wryly and said to her confidant ministers.

Mingtai lowered his eyebrows and remained silent, Bai Qi turned his head to look at him, only Fan Sui had to answer.

"Your Majesty, I think they will never dare to do anything wrong again. After all, it is a matter of their wealth and lives. If the bandits occupy Shu County, their huge family property will be wiped out. Even if it is not for Daqin, it is only for themselves. , They will do their best, what's more, the king appointed Zhong Kui as a general, this person now has a hatred for destroying his family with the bandits, and his parents and brothers have a deep hatred for blood, and the heart of revenge is definitely eager. Where can he force him? It can be regarded as a supervision."

"Is it for the family and not the country?" Yingying sneered a few times, "But wait for this king to recover from this period, and then come to settle the accounts with them one by one."

In Hangu Pass, Lu Chao finished reading the imperial palace report that was just delivered, threw it aside, and said coldly: "Weakness, Fan Sui is really weak when dealing with this matter. "

"General, the last general thinks that there is nothing wrong with Fan Shoufu's handling of this matter. With the current domestic situation, it may not be appropriate to go to war." Gou Yi picked up the document that Lu Chao threw on the ground, asked puzzledly.

Gouyi was captured alive during the Jinyang Incident. After being detained by the National Security Bureau for a while, he was released inexplicably. Li Mingjun was very dissatisfied with this, and approached Xu Yuan, the commander of the First Military Region, to ask for an explanation, but Xu Yuan stopped him with only one sentence: An order from the king himself.

Not only the Han army did not understand, but even the Qin people themselves could not understand, or only Lu Chao knew Gao Yuan's sinister intentions. He is thinking that he does not have enough manpower, and he is afraid that he will not be able to control the army in his hand. Only then did he put his confidant back, not to mention that this move would make many people in the Qin army suspicious, and it would also make the Qin Chao center suspect that he had colluded with Gao Yuan. What is a conspiracy? Say hello. It's just a good general.

However, Lu Chao is also an arrogant person. Gao Yuan made it clear that he is calculating himself. If he kills Gou Yi, he will not only break his arms, but also lose the loyalty of other members of the Gou family, which is not worth the candle. Although the Gou family was not considered a big family in the Qin State, they joined the army alone, and their elder brother Gou Ren was killed in the early years, leaving Gou Yi. Go out with ritual, go out with wisdom, go out with letter. They are all generals in the army, but Gao Yuan's move kills many birds with one stone.

Gou Yi could no longer lead the army, so Lu Chao arranged him to be a military counselor by his side to help with some important military affairs. This person has a deep knowledge of military affairs. He is even more devoted to himself, Gou's family. He has completely become his most trusted subordinate, which can be regarded as a small compensation.

"Gouyi, you read the military newspaper about the riots in Shu County last year. Compared with this year's military newspaper, what do you find different?" Month, it's been several months since he was released, and the former horseman has gained some weight, and he's rounded up compared to before.

"There is indeed a big difference. This year's bandits are no longer a swarm of swarms. They are obviously organized and premeditated, and they are linked together. Compared with last year's riots, it is simply not the same." Gou Yidao .

"In one year, these bandits have grown so much as if they were a different person? And they are still a group of mud legs that Da'an can't understand?" Lu Chao took a shallow sip of tea.

"The general is saying that someone has meddled in this matter?" A light flashed in Gou Yi's mind.

"The state of Han must have intervened in this matter. It is exactly the same as what happened to the state of Qi in the past. I can be sure that the people who are really in control of this rioting peasant army must be people from the state of Han. They are suddenly stunned. It is their brilliance that they don't plot against the prefectures and cities of Shu." Lu Chao said.

"Right now, people in Shu County are in a state of panic. There are many bandits and bandits, and the momentum is fierce. If you take the city of Shu County, you can take full control of Shu County. Why did the general say that this is their brilliance? ?” Gou Yi shook his head.

"First," Lu Chao raised a finger: "The cities of Shu County are not easy to fight. Those wretches in Shu County finally did one thing right, and withdrew all the troops they could control. In the county city, the county city at least has the power to protect itself. Even if these bandits have Han people to intervene in training and command, but attacking such a fortified city, I'm afraid they don't even think about it. If they really go to attack, I'm afraid that there will be heavy losses and nothing to gain. Apart from the core strength of these bandits, a large number of them are just following the trend or being cooperating. It will greatly damage the morale of the army, obviously, the other party is well aware of this, and this is why I judge that the controller of this team must be a member of the Han Kingdom, and with the knowledge of those mud-legged people, I am afraid that they would not have thought of so much."

Gou Yi nodded slightly.

"Secondly, if the county is still there, it has not broken through the bottom line of the court, and the court thinks that Shu County can still support it. As long as Shu County works hard, it will surely defeat these bandits like last year. There will be an edict from the king, but this is precisely the most wrong point. The reason why the peasant army does not go to attack the county is because the people also need to reorganize and strengthen their strength. You have seen the power of the Han Dynasty to organize and train the army. Yes, in time, there will inevitably be a Han army in Shu County that does not fly the Han flag. If the county is captured, the imperial court will not tolerate it. No matter how difficult it is, they will send regular troops to destroy them. But now, the imperial court The reaction can be said to be in the hands of those rebels. Gouyi, do you think the imperial court spent millions of taels of silver on Lu Dafang, Mei Changchun, these wastes, can they really spend all this money on military training? Appointing Zhong Kui as the commander-in-chief is even more ridiculous, a son of a wealthy family who has never been on the battlefield and only knows about common people, even if he is familiar with military books and thinks he is unparalleled in strategy, will he be the opponent of those Han people who have experienced many battles?"

Gou Yi shivered, "I'm afraid that most of the money will fall into the hands of those corrupt officials."

Lu Chao nodded, "That's why I said that when the bandits in Shu County launch another offensive, it will be the day when Shu County falls. Suppressing it is the best policy."

"But the imperial court can't send them out?" Gou Yi said.

Lu Chao laughed loudly, "If you want, of course you can send troops. Tanfeng can't move there, Zhou Yu can't move there, can't Xuanyiwei also can't move? Can't I move here too?"

"Do not move me because I am worried that I will take this opportunity to take control of Shu County again, and my power will be strengthened again. If I do not move Xuanyiwei, it is to guard against me. Our king is worried that I will plot something wrong!" Super understatement.

Gou Yi's back was sweating profusely, thinking carefully, what the general has done in the past year seems to be plotting something wrong.

"Our king still doesn't really understand me. What I want is power, and what I want is to have the power to deal with Gao Yuan. But I'm not interested in the position of king. Even if I want to, sit down again." Is it safe? I really want to do this, but Xu Yahua is the first to refuse."

Xu Yahua is the first general under Lu Chao's command, and he was born in Meng Tian's old army. Although he has now formed an alliance with Lu Chao, but if Lu Chao really wants to usurp the throne, he is absolutely unwilling to agree. Gou Yi himself is also from Qin, if one day Lu Chao tells him that he wants to take over the throne of King Qin and do it himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to get over this hurdle in his heart. There will be such a day when Gou Yi thinks he can do it That is to say, fly away. Hearing Lu Chao's frankness at this time, he was greatly relieved.

"Since the general sees it so clearly, why doesn't he tell the king the truth?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood me deeply. What I did before was just to protect myself. Otherwise, I would be Fan Sui's next target. If I don't show up now, I'll be fine if I show up. Let the king's prejudice deepen, the misunderstanding between us is already deep enough, and these misunderstandings may never be clarified, so we can only keep silent."

"No~IndoMTL.com~General, there must be a day of clarification. When you defeat Gao Yuan and destroy the Han Kingdom, the king will naturally understand the loyalty of the general!"

"I'm so loyal, I'm sure!" Lu Chao chuckled, "I'm here to protect myself. In order to let the teacher's theory have a place in Qin, I have done a lot of disobedience. If Gao Yuan is really defeated , On the day when the Han Kingdom was destroyed, I was able to return to the countryside and be a rich man. Thank God, my big family, now being detained in Xianyang, can't explain the problem?"

When this matter was mentioned, Gou Yi's expression changed. He originally planned to bring Lu's mother and the general's father-in-law's family to Hangu Pass, but somehow leaked the news. Stuck at home, Lu Chao could ask for someone directly, but in this way, it would inevitably tear his face completely.

"Then general, what should we do next?" Gou Yi now only felt that the general was caught between Han and Qin Ting, which meant that the two ends were not human.

"Just be ourselves." Lu Chao said plainly. "The imperial court is currently training the new army by Bai Qi, and the support for us will be less and less. In addition, the control of the army must be strengthened. The imperial court will not forget to compete with me for the generals in the army. If such signs are found, kill them." Nothing!"
