Chapter 1071: Success in the East and Success in the West (Sixty-Four)

After the news of Li Xin's defeat and Wang Xiao's defeat were officially announced by the Qin court, the entire Qin State fell into silence. This was the biggest defeat that the Qin State had suffered in decades. The Qin State opened its arsenal and began to arm Xianyang. Among the young people walking inside, the people walking on the streets were basically soldiers who had just put on Qin uniforms or young people who only held weapons and did not even have uniform clothes. Since the national mobilization order had not yet been issued, except for In the areas surrounding Xianyang, the rest of Qin's areas are still nervously waiting for orders from Xianyang, but the entire country has entered an extremely tense atmosphere.

The atmosphere is even more subdued than Xianyang, but it is the huge palace on Heibingtai. King Qin Wulie's personal troops, the Xuanyi Guards, have three posts per post and five posts per post. They have surrounded the palace and are able to pass through unimpeded. It was only a few people who walked up the steps 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 god Li Xin was escorted by a group of Han soldiers back to Xianyang. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, this group Han soldiers arrived at night, and after delivering Li Xin's coffin outside the city, they were escorted by Qin soldiers and left Xianyang.

When the sun rose in the east, Li Xin's coffin entered the city under the escort of Qin soldiers. The Manchu civil and military officials headed by the fourth prince Ying Ying came out to greet him. Ying Ying personally supported the coffin, and Li Xin's coffin entered the Xianyang Palace. He was carried to the huge palace of Heibingtai and placed in front of King Qin Wulie's bed.

King Qin Wulie's body had completely collapsed, and he could not even sit up from the bed. Looking at the huge coffin placed in front of the bed, King Qin Wulie burst into tears. He stretched out his hand to support the cold coffin, "Li Xin, is it? I have harmed you. When He Lanxiong successfully retreated from Dai County, I should have followed your advice and gave up this attack. It was I, with a sense of luck, who allowed you to continue moving forward, which led to what happened today. The 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 Yingying is good, she is still far inferior to Gao Yuan. I want to be the best in my lifetime. Gao Yuan's defeat leaves him with an easier situation to deal with!"

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

"Li Xin, you are stupid. Even if you reach 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? Why do you do that for so much? You risk your life for a little bit of hope! Why don't you escape? Even if the army of 100,000 is destroyed, as long as you can come back and we build another 100,000 troops, what a big deal it can be!"

Ying Ying, who was kneeling on the side, also cried out in sorrow: "Father, I would like to express my condolences!"

King Wulie of Qin widened his eyes and looked at the coffin. How could Yingying understand his relationship with Li Xin? Li Xin had been following King Wulie of Qin since he was a child. In that era of swords and swords, Li Xin went through life and death again and again, and fought with King Wulie of Qin broke out a world together and helped King Wulie of Qin ascend to the throne of Qin. In the first few years before King Wulie of Qin ascended the throne, Li Xin led his troops to repel the other six countries' attacks on Qin again and again. His offensive ensured the stability of King Qin Wulie's Qin State. It was during these victories that Qin State began to become stronger step by step. Li Xin, to King Qin Wulie, was not only a subordinate, but also a capable person. Brothers who depend on each other for life and death.

"Your Majesty, the general has been dead for a long time. It is best to bury the general as soon as possible. The court has already prepared all the details for the general's burial. The fourth prince has also seen it. Please enjoy the burial of the general!" Fan Sui took a step forward and said, Kneel down on the ground and say.

"No rush!" King Qin Wulie shook his head gently, "I can't survive a few more days, so I will put the general's coffin here. When I die, they will be buried together, and then he will be buried next to my mausoleum. "

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

"No need to say any more, let's handle this matter like this." King Qin Wulie waved his hand, "I am still holding on with all my strength and holding my breath just because I want to wait for Meng Tian to come back and Mr. Li to come back."

"Yes!" Fan Sui lowered his head, "Your Majesty, according to the Han army officer who sent General Li away, the body of General Wang Xiao will also be sent back later. How will the funeral of General Wang Xiao be handled? "

King Qin Wulie was silent for a moment and said: "After Wang Xiao comes back, he can find a place to bury him. All the Wang family members have been imprisoned now, and they have all been sent to Shannan County."

"Your Majesty, 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 Sui, but turned around with some difficulty and looked at Ying Ying, "Wang Xiao belongs to my great Qin family, and only his immediate family members will be imprisoned this time. After I die, you will ascend the throne. The first thing is to order Wang Xiao to be pardoned and buried in a different place, do you understand what I mean?"

The bodies of Ying Ying and Fan Sui were shocked, and they looked at King Qin Wulie in disbelief. King Qin Wulie had a wry smile on his lips: "I am going to die. A dying person, I am not afraid of others saying that I am fatuous or harsh, but you don't Same, Ying Ying, you are different from me. I have been in power for ten years and have always governed with an iron bowl. After you ascend the throne, you must be lenient and benevolent. As long as no one challenges your royal power and rule, you can tolerate it. Then you have to tolerate it as much as possible until you feel that I can control the court."

"My son understands!" Ying Ying said with tears.

"Zhou Yu and Tan Feng control an army of 100,000 people. They have no roots in the Qin Dynasty. The generals under their command are all the generals of our Qin Dynasty. They have no ability to influence the political affairs of our Qin Dynasty, so they can only work closely together. I rely on you and the royal power of Da Qin to show my strength, so these two people can be trusted. Needless to say, Lu Chao, you have been working with him for a long time, and there is a deep gap between this person and King Gao Yuan of the Han Dynasty. , here, it is not only the contradiction that Gao Yuan used his mother to seize Shannan County and put him in jail, but more importantly, Lu Chao does not want a person he has looked down on since he was a child to be able to be above him, so Lu Chao What I want most is to lift Gao Yuan off the horse and step on him again. Lu Chao is superior to the military. After these years of tempering, he has become quite mature. Although it is not as good as Li Xin's overall view, it is not as good as Meng Tian's. He is calm, but in terms of tactical application, he is no less than these two people and can be reused."

"My son, I remember."

"These two troops are now the main strength of the Qin Dynasty. The 30,000 Xuanyang guards in Xianyang have been firmly in your hands during the year since you came back. Remember, this army must never leave Xianyang. I have sent Mr. Li to negotiate with Han Gaoyuan. I think this time, we will have to accept many humiliating conditions. Leiying, please remember, agree to them all, bear the humiliation, endure hardships, and endure hardships. You don’t need me to teach you any more. You It will take at least ten years to revive our Great Qin and build a strong army before we can leave Hangu Pass again."

"yes!"

"Zhongli can be trusted."

"First Assistant Fan Sui is entrusted with a big task."

"Foreignally, we will do our best to support Zhao Qi in his fight against Han. King Huai of Chu will definitely be frightened by Gao Yuan this time, so in a short period of time, he may attack us. If he dares to move, then you must not move. Then, at the first move, Chu will be beaten to the point where he will never dare to look west again, but you remember Ying Ying, and your overall strategy is to unite with Chu and Zhao to fight against Han, because although King Huai of Chu is fatuous, he Huang Xie, Qu Zhong and others under his command are all very good talents. They will see the real threat of Han. Now any of our countries is unable to deal with Han alone, but if we join forces, we will not be able to deal with Han. And it is stronger than Han."

"My son will remember this."

"There are never permanent friends between countries. If you have similar interests, you need to join forces. If you have conflicting interests, you will fight with weapons. How to grasp the balance between them, you can ask Mr. Fan and Mr. Li for advice."

"Father, Mr. Li's national policy for our Great Qin seems very problematic to my son." Ying Ying mustered up her courage, "The Jiang family has only been supporting the Han Kingdom for a few years, and the Han Kingdom has already reached this point. If it were our Great Qin, then so what?"

After hearing what Ying Ying said, King Wulie of Qin raised his hand and waved it gently, "You are wrong. The reason why the Jiang family is able to reach this point is related to the special environment that the Han Dynasty is in. If we follow the same pattern, I am afraid that painting a tiger will not turn out to be a dog. The strategy of governing the country and the outline of the country must not be easily shaken. Don't think that others are good and you can do well. Remember, what suits you is the best."

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

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

Everyone kowtowed and silently exited the Black Ice Terrace. Standing on the high steps outside the Black Ice Terrace, Fan Sui glanced at Ying Ying with some worry: "Fourth Prince, what the King just said is a wise saying. I, Mr. Shi Li, the Great Qin The strategy for governing the country has been formulated for decades. From top to bottom, it has already formed its own system. It is so intertwined that it cannot be easily moved. If it is touched, the whole body will be activated!"

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

"Because of this, I can see more clearly that the tactics of Jiang Jiaquan and Gao Yuan will not work in our Daqin." Fan Sui sighed and said: "What suits us is the best. The fourth prince, the Han Dynasty's We cannot learn one thing. We can only find other ways to make our country stronger."

Ying Ying nodded, walked down a few steps, and suddenly turned around: "Xiang Fan, what will your father do with General Meng when he comes back?"

Fan Sui took a deep look at Ying Ying, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, "How dare I guess the king's thoughts?"

Looking at Fan Sui's hurried away figure, Ying Ying already understood the truth that Fan Sui had not said. (To be continued)
