Chapter 1360: Han Banners Under the Heavens (Fifty) 4 Clouds Move (Ten)
"Poor!"
Mingtai stood at the city gate, watching the king's envoy and his guards retreating away, with mockery in his eyes and mouth. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty now know that Hangu Pass is not much different from Longtan Dragon Cave. The king's envoys are all avoiding the job like a plague. Just yesterday, as many as three ministers reported illness. First, at this time, anyone who dares to take on this mission and go to Hangu Pass is truly a die-hard supporter of King Qin and is extremely loyal. I also asked the King of Qin to go to Hangu Pass, but the King of Qin felt that Xianyang could not do without me now. I can’t blame me for this.
He sneered in his heart. Mingtai knew that King Qin Yingying really trusted him because he almost grew up with him. The difference was that from the time he was sensible, he had been planning all the time. One day, the Ying Dynasty will be overthrown from its roots. :Pig:Pig:Island:Novel 3w.o You kill my whole family, and I will destroy your entire clan. This has become Mingtai's obsession.
I'm sorry for you, Ying Ying, who called you his son, who asked you to inherit his throne? I don't have the ability to take revenge on him personally, so I can only vent my anger on you and the Ying family. This is retribution. This is retribution for the tyrannical rule of your Ying family.
Mingtai pressed the hilt of the knife at his waist, raised his head, and looked at the towering black ice platform in the distance. Perhaps at this time, the lonely king was looking in this direction in the palace. As of today, in the Black Ice Platform, the last group of people loyal to Yingying have been grandly sent to escort Su Qin. Headed by the deputy commander Yinghua, more than a hundred elites of the Black Ice Platform will follow Su Qin. Arrive at Hangu Pass, and then give up their lives there.
This is the clarion call for the Hanguguan army to fight back to Xianyang, and he will be the last straw to crush Ying's Qin State.
The person who was far away finally completely disappeared in his eyes, and Mingtai turned around. Striding towards the city, the war begins now. The military boots made a snapping sound when they stepped on the bluestone that had just been rained on. The accumulated water splashed up and shone brightly in the sunlight. When it fell back to the ground again, it lost its edge again and blended in with the mud. Mingtai raised his eyes and scanned both sides of the street. Most of the shops were not open. There were only a few pedestrians on the street, and they shrank back. There are a lot of beggars in the country, many of them are disabled, Mingtai knows it. These people should have been soldiers before, and had fought on the battlefield for Great Qin, but now, they had nothing, and even their last dignity had been lost. Just like my own family, they worked hard for the Qin State, but in the end they still ended up killing the nine clans.
Da Qin, it’s time to change your way of life. Mingtai thought in his heart. I looked up and saw a shop that was still open, and it looked like a shopkeeper. While leaning against the door and staring at him, Mingtai suddenly smiled and said loudly to the boss: "The weather is really nice today!"
The person who was greeted by Mingtai was none other than Boss Su. It could be seen from Mingtai's clothes that he was a high-ranking official. Boss Su didn't expect such a person to say hello to him. Just when he was stunned, the man walked past his shop with several followers.
"Yes, the weather is really nice." He said. Looking up at the sky, there is a blue sky, and a rainbow is crossing the sky after the rain. The weather is indeed very good.
At Hangu Pass, Lu Chaozheng and Xu Yahua were having a secret conversation.
Since Cao Tianci came to visit and brought Gao Yuan's secret message, Lu Chao locked himself in the room for a whole day. When he came out again, he had made up his mind and issued a series of orders immediately. Xu Yahua led his troops from Lubin Withdrawing Hangu Pass, Lu Chao handed over the Lubin defense line that he had managed for several years to Gao Yuan. The Hangu Pass gate is wide open. If the Han army is willing, Chen Bing can pass it at any time to intimidate Lu Chao.
But what everyone couldn't understand was that after occupying Lubin, the Han army did not take another step forward, nor did they send a single soldier forward. Instead, the troops of the First Military Region came one after another. The troops were transferred, and in the end, only three armies with less than 40,000 troops were left in Lubing. The King of Han, Wang Jia, who had been staying in Jinyang, finally started to move. After entering Shanggu, he stayed in Daijun again, and the troops who had withdrawn from Jinyang also began to gather in Daijun.
In the study, Xu Yahua read the secret letter written by Gao Yuan himself, and the shock in his eyes was no less than when Lu Chao saw the letter.
"Gao Yuan is known in the world as being undefeated and victorious. His strategy is really incredible and makes people admire him." Xu Yahua shook his head and sighed: "General, this is an opportunity and poison for us."
"You are right. It is an opportunity and a poison. However, this is not a poison that can penetrate the intestines and stomach. It is a chronic poison. It can't kill us in a short time." Lu Chao seemed to be talking from the gap between his teeth. These words came out one by one, "General Xu, the first thing we have to do now is to stay alive. Even if we are poisoned by chronic poison, we are still alive after all, aren't we?"
Xu Yahua was very sad that Da Qin, who was once so powerful, was now living like this, but he also understood that Lu Chao was right, as long as he was alive, there was still a chance, and the antidote for chronic poison may not be found.
"From the intelligence provided by the Han people and what the Eagle Department has learned, we now confirm that Tan Feng is ready to take action. In Yingchuan, his troops have begun to mobilize, and as long as we launch an offensive, Bai Qi will Time cannot be reversed, and the only ones that can be mobilized are Zhou Yu's troops on the border of Qin and Chu. Once Zhou Yu's troops move towards Xianyang, if the Chu people do not take advantage of the opportunity, they are not Chu people, and they are not Qu Zhong. If this is the case, count us. After taking Xianyang, we are also faced with a chaotic situation. The south is gone, and Tan Feng has become another me, cutting off the drama and bargaining. If this is the case, then why should I move? It is better to maintain the status quo! " Lu Chao said coldly.
"Gao Yuan took a fancy to this and threw out this opportunity. He knew that we had no choice." Xu Yahua said: "We can only follow his pace, but General, if this plan is realized perfectly Okay, what will we do next?”
Lu Chao stood up, "The most beneficial thing about this plan for us is not anything else, but time. We will gain at least three to five years to have a chance to breathe. General Xu, the policy I have implemented at Hangu Pass in the past few years ,what do you think?"
"For us now, it is the best. Everything is for the army. Everyone is a vassal of the army. Everything is done for the operation of the army, but it also gives everyone a way to survive. At least they will not be hungry and cold. , Although life is harder, we can still survive after all. It is precisely because of this that people from other parts of Qin State have fled to us! In the past year, Bai Qi has killed all the people in Qin State. But the number of people in the territory under our control has increased by 30%, and most of them are strong and strong people." Xu Yahua said with admiration: "The great general and great talent have actually found a third path that is different from Li Shi and Gao Yuan. road. And Xu believes that this road is the most suitable for us now.”
"Yes, it is the most suitable for us now. After I come to power, I will promote all this to the whole country. By then, a powerful Qin State will appear again, and we will have the ability to compete with Gao Yuan again. capital, and this takes time, so I must drink this cup of chronic poison from Gao Yuan.”
"Only when you are alive can you have a chance." Xu Yahua repeated Lu Chao's words.
Everything Lu Chao is doing now, and the policies he is implementing in the area under his control, even Gao Yuan has to raise his thumbs and say awesome, because everything Lu Chao has done reminds him of what he once did. In the world he lived in, there was a strange country with a planned economy and military-first politics. Gao Yuan did not expect that in this time, space, and era, Lu Chao would actually copy it perfectly.
In the area controlled by Lu Chao, a unified supply system is implemented. Everyone can get rations to survive on a daily basis and a meager salary, but everything they produce belongs to the army. There are only a limited number of things that can be bought in the market. If you want to survive, you have to work hard to create value and get your share of food.
Are you having a hard time? Of course it's bitter. But compared to those people in other areas of the Qin State who are living in dire straits and do not know whether they will survive until night when they wake up in the morning, this is paradise. At least, at three o'clock in the morning, they can have a bowl of gruel and two dishes. Pancakes and a bowl of pickles. After eating these, you can still look forward to the dry meal in the evening. During the holidays, there are also some meat-eating festivals. It would be good to be able to survive during this time of year.
Therefore, Lu Chao actually still has a very good reputation. At least in the area he rules, the people under his rule always feel that they are living a good life.
Based on all this, Lu Chao's strength now is much stronger than when he first arrived at Hangu Pass. Not only has he won the support of the people, but more importantly, he has completely recovered this army. Although the current army is still flying the flag of Qin, it is better to say that it is Lu Chao's private army.
The status of soldiers is supreme here, and everything must make way for the army.
"A letter came from Xianyang. The royal envoy calling me back to the capital will arrive soon. And this royal envoy also carries another secret order. That is the king's order to kill me on the spot if I don't obey the edict. ." Lu Chao smiled.
"The king is confused, and Fan Sui is also losing his mind and going crazy." Xu Yahua said with a smile.
"When they arrive, it will be the time for me to launch my attack. At that time, Hangu Pass will be handed over to General Xu. Although the Han army promised that they will never attack, they cannot be too careless."
"Don't worry, General. As long as I'm here, Hangu Pass will be safe."
"I can only leave you 20,000 troops."
"That's enough. Hangu Pass itself is a powerful pass. Over the years, we have been preparing for the Han army to attack. Everything is enough to deal with them. General, just move forward. I am at Hangu Pass. Good news from General Hou."
"If you succeed one day, your wealth will be shared with General Xu."
"I would like to be a pawn in front of the great general." (To be continued.)
