Chapter 1296: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (One Hundred and Eighty-Six) Why Are You Helping Me?

Xu Yahua naturally did not expect that Wang Jian, who had no choice but to escape into the desert, would have such an opportunity. However, he still had doubts about whether Wang Jian would join forces with Lu Chao.

"General, can Wang Jian really be of use to you when the time comes? He is the big-headed king behind closed doors. He can dominate and prosper on his own. Why bother to get involved in the mess of the Central Plains? Isn't he asking for it? Trouble?" Xu Yahua asked.

"Good question!" Lu Chao clasped his palms together and said with a smile: "When I first found Wang Jian, I was also doubtful, but Wang Jian agreed readily, which really surprised me. Until not long after I didn’t understand the reason until my newly dispatched people came back.”

"I don't know what is the reason why Wang Jian is so painful = pig = pig = island = novel ww.zhuzh and agreed to us so quickly?" Xu Yahua was a little curious, thinking that if it were him who finally got out of this quagmire, why would he not be willing to do so? Make a mess again.

"The area occupied by Wang Jian used to be full of small countries, and they were fighting with each other all day long. Either you beat me or I beat you. It only took a blink of an eye for a country to rise and fall. It was precisely because of the chaos here that As a result, although the land was fertile and the output was rich, it was always poor. But when Wang Jian appeared, it was completely different. Wang Jian forcibly wiped out these guys who occupied the mountain and gathered them all in this area. Under his own rule, he established his own rule here according to the system of Da Qin. In a short time, this place showed great vitality. Do you know how many troops Wang Jian has now? " Lu Chao asked with a smile.

"As you said before, after wiping out these small countries, he only has the last five thousand tribes left in his hands." Xu Yahua said.

"Yes, he relied on these five thousand troops to form an army of up to 50,000 people. This army, which was established completely in accordance with the regulations of our Great Qin, has begun to show its combat effectiveness under Wang Jian's training. Lu Chao said: "Wang Jian himself is the most outstanding general among the younger generation of our country."

"But the more powerful he is, the less reason he has to come back!" Xu Yahua was puzzled by Wang Jian's choice.

Lu Chao laughed and said, "Every advantage has its disadvantages. It's a time-honored truth. There was a neighbor in that area, and I heard he was very powerful. It used to be a mess here, but this neighbor didn't care and didn't bother to pay attention. But now Wang Jian unified these people under his command and established a powerful political power. In a short period of time, he trained an army of tens of thousands. This neighbor was not worried. They were worried. This force, which was ignored, has now begun to threaten this neighbor, so Wang Jian is not having an easy life now. "

Xu Yahua couldn't help but feel dumb for a while, "How powerful is that neighbor? Wang Jian now has tens of thousands of troops and he is still afraid of him?"

"I heard it's called Dashi." Lu Chao said with a smile: "This is the first time I've heard of this name.

But it can give Wang Jian a headache, so he is naturally not an ordinary opponent. Wang Jian fought several battles with his opponents, but he won them all at first. But what annoyed Wang Jian was that the more he won the battle, the more vigilant his opponent became and the more troops he received. What makes Wang Jian even more uneasy is that this big cannibal believes in a religion that is very fanatical, and this sect is also very popular under his rule. So now Wang Jian has to deal with this big man-eater while also preventing possible disturbances under his rule. "

"How can you help us if you have too much time to take care of yourself?"

"It was precisely because he encountered a problem that he thought of us. After the special envoy I sent came back, he told me that Wang Jian was very afraid of this powerful neighbor. He only adopted a defensive policy at the border. Obviously, this neighbor was not Wang Jian's strength. He can handle it, so Wang Jian needs help and assistance, so Da Qin is naturally his best choice."

Xu Yahua pondered for a moment, "I understand, Wang Xiao died at the hands of the Han army. Wang Jian must avenge his father's murder, but General, have you ever thought about why Wang Jian chose us instead of the court?" , his father and son are both generals of the Qin State! But what we are going to do is..."

"Wang Jian hates the King of Qin as much as he hates Gao Yuan." Lu Chao laughed and said: "Wang Xiao can be regarded as a loyal minister and good general of the Qin Dynasty, but until his death, he still carried countless scapegoats on him. These scapegoats, It sounds like it’s all for Da Qin, but Da Qin didn’t give Wang Xiao the treatment he deserved, because there were some things that the court didn’t want to bear on him.”

"The first thing!" Lu Chao raised a finger: "The prisoners were killed in Huolan Mountain. In order to rush to Hangu Pass to rescue the king, Wang Xiao massacred tens of thousands of prisoners of war at Huolan Mountain Pass. Back then, he suffered a lot. Scolding, although Wang Xiao finally arrived at Hangu Pass as quickly as possible, he was not rewarded afterwards. "

"The second thing, and the thing that saddened Wang Xiao and Wang Jian the most, was the Jing Rufeng incident." Lu Chao sighed: "In order for Jing Rufeng to completely win the trust of the Zhao people, the victims were Wang Xiao's men secretly sent out Wang Xiao's battle plan during the battle outside Hangu Pass, so that Wang Xiao was defeated at the hands of Jing Rufeng, and 20,000 Qin people died outside Hangu Pass. After this defeat, he was dismissed from the post of general and lived in Xianyang for many years. For Wang Xiao, he lost this battle inexplicably. He was burdened with tens of thousands of lives, countless scoldings, and punishments from the court. Naturally, he was sad. To top it off, later on when Jing Rufeng secretly returned, the truth of the matter came to light. However, it was impossible for the court to vindicate Wang Xiao, and it was even less possible for the court to admit that he had deliberately sacrificed the life of 20,000 men. Therefore, Wang Xiao was the scapegoat. Isn’t this hard to bear for a general?”

Xu Yahua also looked extremely ugly. This was the first time he heard about Jing Rufeng. In the battle on the Guanzhong Plain, the Qin people won strangely and the Zhao people lost strangely. It turned out that there were still these secrets in it. Who would have thought that the great general of the Zhao people was actually the work of the Qin people.

"There are really only a handful of people who know about Jing Rufeng." Lu Chao said. "It's normal that you don't know. You must know that at that time, General Meng Tian was jealous of the late king."

"In that case, it makes sense for Wang Jian to cooperate with us." Xu Yahua nodded, "That makes me feel relieved."

"Wang Jian is now dominating one side, so naturally he refuses to come back and kneel to others, but he cannot plan for his future. Obviously, that enemy is not something he can deal with alone. He must use backup. This backup We must have strong force to help him. The current Qin State is obviously not good enough. What he needs is the Qin State more than ten years ago. Therefore, he chose to help me. This is nothing to him. Difficult thing, all he did was to cross the desert again and Chen Jun Jishi County. He may not go to war directly with the Han people, but he will contain a large number of Han troops for me. When the time comes, such an army suddenly appears in Jishi County, where would the Han people mobilize troops? Of course, it would be faster to mobilize troops from their first military region. They don't have a regular army in the northwest! I'm afraid Gao Yuan will never think that there is another army across the desert. If Wang Jian has the ability to bite off a piece of meat from He Lanxiong, then that will be his ability."

"The general has no plans left, and the general is so impressed that he fell to the ground!" Xu Yahua sighed. Wang Jian was almost forgotten in the Central Plains. Only people like the general would spend so much energy to find and make him a With his own help, such a person is no match for Fan Sui, a stubborn guy.

"There is no way to say there is no exhaustive plan. I can only try to think as much as possible, and try to have as many helpers as possible. The one who calculates more will win, and the one who calculates less will lose. What we do is inherently unnatural, how can it be wrong? Is it true to calculate as much as possible? But the most important thing is to be ourselves, because in the end, we have to use our fists to speak. General Xu, you have unique experience in leading troops and I will need your help in the future. ”

Xu Yahua stood up and clasped his fists: "I will definitely try my best to serve the general."

When Xu Yahua left, it was already dark. Lu Chao personally sent him outside the General's Mansion to watch the departure of the second-largest man under his command. After capturing Xu Yahua, the army could finally be called a monolith. He also Let go of a piece of my heartache.

The snow was falling heavily in the sky. I raised my face and let the cold snowflakes hit my face. After being stuffed in the warm room for a long time, my head suddenly became sober. When I stretched out my hand, my face was full of coldness. Lu Chao said strangely. A smile: "This snow would be better if it fell harder!"

The snow this year is heavier than last year. With this approach, many places in the country will be hit by disasters this year. And with the current situation of the court, the disaster relief work will be beyond its capabilities. It will be difficult to squeeze out some money. , when the time comes, very few will actually fall into the hands of the victims. There will inevitably be a large wave of refugees in the spring of next year. You should prepare for this this winter and gather more food. Refugees have always been the most vulnerable. Cheap labor and the bravest warriors, all they want is not to starve to death. If they are given a bowl of rice, they will dare to work for you with their heads raised.

As he strode back, Gou Yi appeared from the side like a ghost, "General, the businessman Guo Yun you wanted to see happened to be at Hangu Pass again today. I brought him to you. Do you want to see him?" Don’t see him?”

"Oh, such a coincidence?" Lu Chao paused slightly, "Since I'm here, I naturally want to meet him. How can I not meet such a guy with such great magical powers?"

"Yes, I'll bring him over right away." Gou Yi bowed and retreated.

Back in the warm study, Lu Chao picked up his pen and wrote several official letters in succession. Next year's refugee wave needs to be dealt with in advance. In addition to food, simple houses must be prepared in advance. Now most of the army With nothing to do, I just allocated some of them to do this thing, which also saves these energetic guys from being bored in the barracks all day long and causing trouble.

You have land, food, and a house here, but are you still afraid that the refugees won't come? Wasn't that what Gao Yuan did back then? (To be continued...)
