Chapter 1295: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (One Hundred and Eighty-Five) Confidence

Xu Yahua is also a decisive person. In these years, he has been under Lu Chao's command without saying a word, just following orders. This is because Meng Tian is dead and he has no backing. As Meng Tian's trusted general, he can only walk on thin ice. Secondly, he also saw Lu Chao's inner thoughts. He didn't think highly of Lu Chao at all. Although Qin is in chaos and the situation is very bad, the people's hearts are still there. But he never expected that the King of Qin wanted to use Fan Sui's reform to boost Qin's internal affairs, and Lu Chao used it so thoroughly. Lu Chao, who should have been the most determined to oppose Fan Sui, took an ambiguous and even concessionary step, allowing Fan Sui to take the position and start a strong reform. Lu Chao's move eased the Qin people's doubts about him. When mentioning Lu Chao, the Qin people would only praise him, saying that General Lu was sensible and gave up so much for the Qin Dynasty.

But behind the decency, there is a huge evil intention. Lu Chao didn't care that the leading figures of the Li School in the central government were uprooted, because the foundation of the Li School was not in the court, but in the people who read Yu and were influenced by Li's academic studies for decades throughout the Qin State, and most of these people were grassroots officials in the Qin court.

In the central government and the court, Lu Chao was enough.

He let Fan Sui carry out the reform because he knew that as long as he gave a little hint, these reforms would inevitably fail.

Facts have also proved that his confidence is justified. In more than a year since Fan Sui's reform, the treasury has not been enriched, and the people's lives have not improved. The entire Qin State has become more corrupt, with wars and riots everywhere, and the central government is almost at a loss.

Behind this dangerous situation, the thin-faced young man in front of him stretched out his white hands and gently fiddled with them.

When Fan Sui could not be defeated any more, it was time for him to take action.

"There are still many variables." Xu Yahua listened to Lu Chao's analysis and said, "Let's not talk about Bai Qi for now. He will definitely be our enemy in the future. Yingchuan Tan Feng has been doing well in Yingchuan over the years. He has a great hatred for the Han Dynasty, but he is able to put down his body and do business with the Han people. He has made Yingchuan a distribution center for Han and Qin merchants to trade. He has also gained huge benefits from this. The reform that Fan Sui piloted in Yingchuan that year was also successful, which has given him a huge weight. I heard that the 50,000 Qin troops in Yingchuan now obey his orders."

"Tan Feng is a man with wolfish ambitions, but for us, he does not have to be ranked in the first enemy sequence for the time being. Although you are right, he has tied those generals tightly to him with huge economic benefits, but if we take action. I estimate that he will definitely stand by and watch." Lu Chao shook his head.

"Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight? Then sitting back and reaping the benefits?" Xu Yahua said.

"You can say that, but he doesn't have the capital to be a fisherman. He is waiting for the price.

Whoever has a greater chance of winning. He will join whoever. This person is not the kind of person who helps others in times of need. He will only add icing on the cake."

"It's really hateful!" Xu Yahua said in a muffled voice.

"It's really hateful, but he still has this capital. At that time, both us and the court will try their best to win him over. He will not help either side, which is already very good for us. What I am more worried about is Zhou Yu. This person has outstanding military talents and is not flexible. At that time, he will become our obstacle."

"I heard that Tan Feng and Zhou Yu are close friends. When the time comes, the two of them will join hands and their power will be enough to influence the situation of Daqin." Xu Yahua said worriedly.

"You are wrong. Tan Feng killed Ji Ling and parted ways with Zhou Yu. He killed Ji Ling to help the old king, but this touched Zhou Yu's bottom line, so the two could not join forces." Lu Chao shook his head.

"At that time, we only need to deal with Bai Qi and Zhou Yu."

"Han army!" Xu Yahua reminded. "If that day really comes, how can the Han army sit back and watch this great opportunity slip away? They will attack Hangu Pass in a large-scale, how many troops can we spare?"

Lu Chao laughed, "Han army, Han army, I will find something for them to do so that they will have no time to take care of us. As long as we act fast enough and progress more smoothly, when they come to their senses, everything will be over."

Xu Yahua looked at Lu Chao in a daze. He couldn't think of what Lu Chao would find for the Han people to do at that time? There are now more than 100,000 Han troops in Jinyang, and they are preparing for the moment when the civil strife in the Qin Dynasty breaks out. The army is willing to take advantage of the situation, so how can they watch such a good opportunity slip away because of something? But looking at Lu Chao's confident look, he seemed to have prepared everything long ago.

"Why don't you ask me how to drag out the rebels?" Lu Chao asked with a smile.

"If the general wants me to know, he will tell me naturally." Xu Yahua shook his head and said, "Since the general doesn't say it, he naturally has a reason not to let me know."

Lu Chao was very satisfied with Xu Yahua's attitude.

"You are my deputy, and there is nothing I can hide from you. Do you remember Wang Xiao and his son?" Lu Chao put some new charcoal in the charcoal basin, listening to the crackling sound of the new charcoal in the fire, he said lightly.

"Wang Xiao and his son?" Of course Xu Yahua knew that in the battle on the prairie a few years ago, the Qin State was severely defeated. Li Xin died in the battle, Wang Xiao died in the battle, and hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out. This was a battle where the strength of the Qin and Han Dynasties waxed and waned. It was also a turning point in the fall of Qin and the rise of the Han people. How could he not know about it.

"Wang Xiao sacrificed his own life in exchange for Wang Jian leading tens of thousands of Qin soldiers to escape into the desert and then disappearing. You should still remember it fresh, right?" Lu Chao asked as he fiddled with the charcoal.

"Remember, Wang Xiao is indeed the famous general of our Great Qin. In such a desperate situation, he can actually come up with such a strange move, which is really admirable to the general."

"Not only do you admire me, I admire you too. If I were in that situation, the most likely thing I would do is to fight to the death, but Wang Xiao's decision has greatly affected Wang Jianhe and Wang Xiao. Tens of thousands of Qin troops have gained a glimmer of hope, although it is only a glimmer of hope," Lu Chao sighed.

"Is it possible that they are still alive?" Xu Yahua seemed to have seen Lu Chao's plan and was shocked.

"Back then, Wang Jian led tens of thousands of troops to flee into the desert. The vast desert blocked the pursuit of the Han army, because they never expected that the Qin army's choice would be like this. From the time they fled into the desert, their enemies would not It’s not the Han army anymore, but God.” Lu Chao said.

"Could it be possible, could it be that, General, you have found their whereabouts, are they still alive? And they are living well?" Xu Yahua said in surprise, this is what it should be, otherwise Lu Chao would not have cut off Wang's power. Count them among them.

"I never believed that the sons of Great Qin would be trapped in the desert. When Wang Jian retreated, he took away all the horses and all the food and grass in the army. They were well prepared to retreat into the desert. So in the past few years, I have never given up hope of finding them. Every year, the Eagle Department secretly sends a group of people to sneak into the desert to try to find Wang Jian and the others. Half a year ago, my hard work paid off and I finally found them. "Lu Chao. With a proud look on his face, his perseverance was finally rewarded.

"How are they doing now?" Xu Yahua asked in surprise. As a Qin person, how could he not be happy to learn that tens of thousands of Qin soldiers who were thought to be dead were still alive?

"Back then, Wang Jian led 30,000 men to escape into the desert. Although they were well prepared, when they walked out of the desert, only about 10,000 of the 30,000 men were left." Lu Chao stared at the charcoal fire, "And to welcome them Theirs is not flowers and wine, but a head-on attack from the local indigenous people.”

"When it comes to fighting, our Daqin brothers are not afraid at all. If these ten thousand men can walk out of the desert, they must have been transformed. If my guess is correct, they not only won that battle, but also established a firm foothold in the local area. "Xu Yahua said with confidence.

"Of course, otherwise there would be nothing later. The Qin people who narrowly survived in the desert have long since become blood-devouring hungry wolves. They long for peace and a piece of land for them to recuperate. This desire In return, Wang Jian spent two years defeating dozens of small countries on that land and brought them to his knees. "

"Dozens of small countries?" Xu Yahua's mouth opened wide enough to stuff a big duck egg in.

"That place is different from ours!" Lu Chao explained with a smile, "Although some small countries call themselves countries, they are actually no more than one county and their soldiers are no more than a thousand. The powerful ones are no more than one country. There were only two thousand horses, which was not a hindrance to Wang Jian at all. The most remarkable thing was that when he first set foot on that land, the natives were very united in dealing with outsiders. At that time, they gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack Wang Jian. Jian, the first battle was the most dangerous for Wang Jian. Fortunately, he won and won this battle. The subsequent battles became simpler. He was able to draw together and break them down one by one. For us, isn't this very familiar? In two years, Wang Jian still had five thousand Qin troops, but he firmly controlled that land. Now, we can even call him a king, he is the king of that land. "

Xu Yahua was a little distraught. It was really hard to explain the fate of a person. He was clearly in a desperate situation, but after overcoming this hurdle, he turned out to have a bright future. For Wang Jian, this can be said to be the end of all hardships. . (To be continued...)
