Chapter 1232: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (One Hundred and Twenty-Two) Everyone Has Gained Something

Mingtai was furious.

Fan Sui did not stop at Hangu Pass and reached an agreement with Lu Chao, so he embarked on the return journey. Compromising with Lu Chao was the most important task on this trip. At the same time, he also determined two facts. One was Lu Chao will never return to Xianyang. In Hangu Pass, he was a fierce tiger, but when he returns to Xianyang, he will become a sick cat. Secondly, this person will never rebel.

The first fact shocked him. Lu Chao dared to be so confident, which could only mean one thing, that is, he had completely controlled this army.

The second fact made him breathe a sigh of relief and not rebel, which provided the basis for cooperation.

Lu Chao regards him as the logistics manager of the army, and he can also regard Lu Chao as a sharp knife in his own hand. The relationship between them is already a naked mutual use.

"Isn't this a rebellion?" Mingtai's hands were shaking. "How can we tolerate such rebellion?"

Looking at Mingtai, Fan Sui said calmly: "So what?"

"Capture him and put him in jail for punishment!" Mingtai said angrily.

Fan Sui laughed, "Commander Ming, Heibingtai must have many spies under Lu Chao's command, right?"

When this topic was suddenly asked, Mingtai was startled for a moment, and finally nodded, "Yes, this is inevitable."

"Then have you received any bad news about Lu Chao?" Fan Sui asked.

Mingtai was stunned for a moment.

"Lu Chao organized his army into a piece of iron, and everyone obeyed his orders. Naturally, there are many methods involved, but Black Ice Platform has never given you any corresponding news. This only shows that your There are only two results for the spies. One is that he was directly bribed, and the other is that he was isolated and received false information. Have you never been suspicious of a general with more than 100,000 troops? A little flaw?" Fan Sui asked again.

"General Lu Chao and the king have always been on good terms with each other, so I didn't think there was anything unusual!" Mingtai was a little embarrassed.

Staring at Mingtai, Fan Sui breathed out gently, after the king came to the stage. Letting Zhong Li take care of himself was a bad move. Mingtai was loyal, but his abilities were far from Zhongli's, at least politically.

When someone reaches Lu Chao's position, what kind of friendship is there? Friendships are as vulnerable as clouds in the face of major interests, let alone a lunatic like him.

From the outside,

Lu Chao is definitely not like a lunatic. He is personable, polite, and as gentle as jade. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to understand. If you go deep into his heart, you can only see the madness of this kind of person. It's the hardest thing to control.

"Withdraw all your people from his place. He asked me to warn you if you cause trouble again. He will kill every one of you." Fan Sui said calmly.

"Isn't he rebelling?" Mingtai roared: "Every member of the imperial court must be supervised by Hei Bingtai."

"Do you think it's still useful now?" Fan Sui asked.

"If that's the case, why do you still tolerate him?"

"It's not appeasement, but a compromise between each other." Fan Sui said leisurely: "Lu Chao doesn't want to rebel. This is the bottom line. He is not a simple general who leads the army, if that's all. It's simple, but Don’t forget. He is also the descendant of the Li school and the successor designated by Li Ru. He has both civil and military careers. If we turn against him, it will not only be a problem of military instability, but also internal chaos. , if it really reaches such a point, then the Qin Dynasty is really finished. I am afraid that the Han army will not need to dispatch a large scale, just a few cavalry divisions will be able to defeat us. "

"Are we just going to tolerate him like this?"

"Now we can only tolerate it. He wants to defeat Gao Yuan, doesn't he? This is the devil in his heart. This is good. It is the same as our goal. As long as the goal is the same, we can cooperate. He gives me what I want, and I give him what I want. Yes, as for the future, let’s talk about it, Gao Yuan is our common enemy, if we lose, then everything will be over, if I win, then let’s compete with him again,” Fan Sui said slowly.

"Isn't this a problem of raising tigers?"

"This tiger will kill the enemy first, and then it may bite us back. If we don't raise the tiger now, we will be finished first." Fan Sui said with a smile.

"He agreed to sir's request?"

"Of course, we will. Our domestic reforms will not be hindered too much in the future, and even if there are, it will not be possible. Lu Chao's statement will make most people give up their illusions. Now that they have given up this illusion , will naturally move closer to us. In the process of getting closer, while we are completing domestic reforms, we must quietly dismantle Lu Chao's arm and disintegrate the Li school of thought," Fan Sui said softly. .

"But the chief assistant, even if we dismantle his arm during this process, it is very likely that the army will become stronger and stronger in his hands. By then, the tail will not be lost, and we will have no way to counter him. ”

Fan Sui chuckled, "Do you think he can defeat Gao Yuan?"

This was a difficult question to answer, and Mingtai suddenly didn't know how to answer it. He hopes that Lu Chao can defeat Gao Yuan, so that Da Qin's biggest external threat will be eliminated, but if Lu Chao wins, how will the court deal with him?

Looking at Mingtai's changing face, Fan Sui laughed softly, "He can't defeat Gao Yuan. This person is already crazy inside. A madman may look normal, but he cannot achieve great things. His madness , in the end, you will only get yourself into trouble.”

"But his defeat is not a good thing for our Great Qin." Mingtai said a little depressed.

"What we need is not his victory, we just need him to withstand the Han army's attack and become a barrier for us. The longer he fights with the Han army, the more I like him."

"But those who died were all the warriors of our Great Qin!"

"This army can no longer be regarded as the warriors of our Great Qin!" Fan Sui's face became cruel, "New warriors of the Great Qin will grow up soon."

"But you agreed to Lu Chao and made him the commander-in-chief of the country. He has the right to mobilize all the armies. Even if we work hard to train an army, he will transfer it. If he continues to do things, wouldn't it be Becoming his person again?" Mingtai said.

"There are two people he doesn't know how to adjust." Fan Sui raised two fingers.

"Which two people?"

"The first one is Tan Feng. It can be heard from his words that he is still very afraid of Tan Feng. Tan Feng is not inferior to Lu Chao in terms of talents. In terms of conspiracy, he is also a good player. , Lu Chao would not dare to use the subordinates of such a person. The second person is Bai Qi's Xuanyi Guards. This is the royal guard. Even if you send him to Lu Chao, he will not use it. He mobilized a large number of local guards into his army. This person has a paranoid self-confidence in himself. He will confidently believe that these local guards will be trained into a powerful force in his hands. "

"This man does have a good way of leading troops." Mingtai said with a bitter smile.

"Let him fight Gao Yuan in Jinyang. If he wants money, give him money, give him food, give him food. I will give him whatever he wants." Fan Sui's eyes became extremely sharp. "And all I want is time."

Seeing Fan Sui's resolute expression, Mingtai was inexplicably filled with confidence in his heart. It seemed that Fan Shoufu was more sinister than Lu Chao. Perhaps, the final winner would be the old man in front of him.

Changping City suddenly became quiet. Although the Qin army did not withdraw, it did not attack again. The occasional attacks were with loud thunder and light raindrops, and they stopped briefly. This situation puzzled Zhao Xilie and others. Ordinarily Qin The army should attack in a large scale, because time is not good for them. The Han reinforcements are moving here in an endless stream. When the Han army arrives, it will be their turn to be tortured.

What Zhao Xilie didn't understand even more was that King Gao Yuan seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago. He leisurely hid in the room every day studying his chess records and enjoying himself.

As time went by, the Qin army's attack completely stopped. On the twentieth day after the Battle of Changping began, the Qin army suddenly retreated sharply and did not stop until it reached Lubin. It was not until this time that the Qin army retreated. , Zhao Jun scouts in Changping finally discovered the detailed situation. The Qin army actually began to build fortresses and defensive positions on a large scale in Lubin.

The day after the Qin army retreated, Xu Yuan, commander of the First Military Region of the Han Dynasty, led his troops to Jinyang. Accompanying Xu Yuan were the Sixth Army, commander of the Dahan First Military Region, Yan Haibo, the Eighth Army, commander Luo Weiran, and the Ninth Army, commander of the infantry. The total strength of the three main battle armies exceeds 60,000, and an independent cavalry division is added. The division commander Gongsun Yi has 10,000 cavalry under his command.

"The Changping Meat Grinder Project does not end now, on the contrary, it really begins now." Gao Yuan returned to Jinyang City, looked at the generals gathered under his command, and said with a smile. "I have achieved my goal, and Lu Chao has also achieved his goal. The next step is to continue to bleed the Qin army here, and consume their strength on this land bit by bit. Xu Yuan is here, I It’s time to leave, Mr. Jiang has already sent me countless letters, almost pointing his finger at me and scolding me for not doing my job properly and enjoying my leisure time in Changping.”

All the generals in the room laughed.

"Next, we are not in a hurry to attack the Qin army. We have to give him a certain amount of time to mobilize more troops!" Gao Yuan waved his hand and said cheerfully, and laughter rang out in the room again.

"The first thing to do next is to reorganize Xilie's subordinates. Only by completing the reorganization can we become more powerful. Xilie, what do you think?"

"What the king said is absolutely true." Zhao Xilie bowed.

"Very good, the war is going to be fought, but civil affairs cannot be relaxed. Next, the political affairs hall will send a large number of officials. Some things also require the cooperation of the army to restore the people's livelihood in Shanggu, Jinyang and other places, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. This is what we The source of the invincibility of the Han army." (To be continued)
