O21 The eighth step of defeat, the spurning of the Qin people

Li Liang was helping his beloved wife improve her strength, but he received an urgent invitation from King Qin to enter the palace.

Wei people Xin Lingjun led the alliance of Yan, Zhao, Han and Wei to break the Qin army in the west of the river.

If this incident is a bolt from the blue, the whole country will be shocked.

An Guxi, the commander of the palace guards of the Qin Palace, was still waiting for him at the palace gate, and respectfully led him to the inner court of King Zhuang Xiang of the harem to handle official business.

This Angu is handsome and mighty, twenty-five or six years old, although he is not surnamed Ying, but he is a member of the royal family. Those who can be the leaders of the forbidden army are more or less related to the royal family, and there is no doubt about their loyalty, and with Lu Buwei's call for wind and rain, they can't make their subordinates enter this system, otherwise they can manipulate Qin Jun's life and death.

This An Guxi came from the first short training class of the National Teachers Palace, and he had a lot of respect for Li Liang, and when he arrived outside the magnificent palace in the inner court, he suddenly whispered: "The National Teacher recommended General Xu as the Prime Minister of Zuo, and our Praetorian Guards are very grateful." ”

Li Liang waved his hand and said: "This is the decision of the king, the queen mother and Lu Gong after discussion, not my ......."

An Guxi was still grateful and said: "The students understand that the teacher is unwilling to accept Xu Gong's favor, but we are still grateful to the teacher in our hearts." ”

Li Liang shook his head and sighed with a smile: "You! He wasn't afraid that Lu Buwei would find fault with him after he found out, but it was not the time to confront Lu Buwei yet, he was still secretly protecting the safety of King Qin, so that Zhu Ji would have a lot less worries.

Xu Xian was a highly respected person in Qin, but he was squeezed out by Lü Buwei, and Li Liangjian promoted him as the left minister, which naturally won the favor of the military.

The two of them walked up the long steps, and the guard stood up and saluted, and An Guxi sent him here, and the guard pushed open the gate and let him in.

before stepping into the temple. I saw that King Zhuangxiang was standing on the dragon seat above the two steps at the end of the main hall, and there were five or six generals on the left and right of the steps.

On the right, of course, is the right prime minister Lu Buwei, and on the left is the tough guy Xu Xian.

Among the others, only Xu Xian was Lu Gong, who was known as one of the three tiger generals of Western Qin along with Wang Jaw and Xu Xian, with a medium stature, in his fifties, and a long beard. The eyebrows are thick and thick, the eyes are like copper bells, and the body is still extremely tough, seeing Li Liang, he looked at him with burning eyes, and his expression was quite anxious and hopeful.

There are also generals Wang Ling and Du Bi, both of whom are military dignitaries. He has the same level of seniority in the military as Wang Jaw and Xu Xian, and they are all important ministers of the Qin family.

Guan Zhongjun Cai Ze was the right prime minister before Lü Buwei's appointment, and he was a round-faced person, so although he was squeezed out by Lü Buwei, he was still reused.

The other four are the left supervisor Hou Wang Juan, the right supervisor Hou Jia Gongcheng, Yunyang Jun Yingao and Yiqu Jun Yinglou, the latter two are all direct members of the royal family. There is a fiefdom of the euphore.

King Zhuang Xiang was overjoyed when he saw Li Liang, and said, "The national teacher doesn't need to be polite!" Take a seat! ”

The others, including Lü Buwei, were anxious and happy to give up Li Liang to a special seat for the national teacher under the throne.

This emergency meeting gathered the ministers and famous generals at the highest level in Xianyang, which shows how critical the shape is.

The most taboo of the Qin people is the cooperation of the eastern countries, and this time Xinling Jun defeated the Qin army with the strength of the five countries, which shows that the fear of the Qin people is absolutely well-founded.

King Zhuang Xiang is still as calm and relaxed as usual. He said softly: "The national teacher knows that the widow is in a hurry to summon Qing, what is the matter?" ”

Li Liang's expression was indifferent, and he frowned slightly.

This military meeting had been held for at least two hours, and a solution should have been reached to deal with the predicament at hand, so calling himself to come here, needless to say, it is very likely that he will send his own army to deal with the five-nation alliance.

It can be seen that although Lü Buwei is in power on the surface, his power in the army is still very shallow, and he is defeated. There is no one available except Li Liang. Xiang Shaolong may be a candidate, but he is now a marginal person, and he does not have as much deterrent power as Li Liang, so he is not even qualified to participate in this emergency recruitment meeting.

Li Liang looked at everyone and looked at him hopefully. opened his mouth and said, "What is the Five-Nation Alliance?" Who's at the head? Who's in the middle? Who is at the core? Who do the five countries listen to? Who's in charge and who's secondary? Who are the generals of each country? ”

This series of questions knocked everyone down.

Lu Buwei frowned and said: "These things are blocked by the other party very carefully, I only know that it is Wei Guoxin Lingjun who takes the lead, but the enemy has hit Guanzhong, and he can't help but fight!" ”

General Du Bi said: "The five-nation alliance army is sharp, if you abandon the danger of Han-Guguan and go out to war in vain, once defeated, I am afraid that Han-Guguan cannot be guaranteed, at that time, the coalition army will drive straight forward, and the foundation of Daqin is afraid that it will be destroyed in a flash, and it is really better to defend than to attack at this moment." ”

Lu Buwei's face was extremely gloomy, and he said coldly: "Our defeat this time is really because the enemy came suddenly, so that we were caught off guard. ”

Lu Gong snorted coldly: "Xinling Jun is a resourceful person, he once broke our army outside Handan-Dan City back then, and the front car can be supervised, how can the right Xiangguo be so easy." ”

Xu Xian said: "Our army is newly defeated, and the spirit has been frustrated, even if Sun Wu is resurrected, I am afraid that I will have to accept it for the time being, the king, please think twice." "He was very vehemently opposed.

Lu Buwei said unhappily: "Tai-Yuan County, Sanchuan County, and Shangdang County are related to the rise and fall of my Great Qin hegemony. ”

King Zhuang Xiang said categorically: "The widow has made up his mind, so he will appoint ......"

At this decisive moment, the gate official outside the hall sang: "Wei Zeng, the prince of Wei State, has arrived!" ”

Lu Buwei said coldly: "If you don't kill this person, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”

When King Zhuang Xiang was about to give the order to escort the crown prince to come, Li Liang laughed and said: "This person can't be killed, on the contrary, the king should treat him well." ”

Including King Zhuang Xiang and Lu Buwei, everyone looked at Li Liang who was sitting in amazement.

King Zhuang Xiang was surprised: "The national teacher is talking about ......? ”

Li Liang said with a smile: "What everyone said just now makes sense, no matter whether it is the main attack or defense, there is a risk of gain and loss, so come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, so that the king can solve the danger of going to Hangu Pass without spending a single soldier." ”

Everyone was amazed, and they didn't know what he had done.

King Zhuang Xiang had the most confidence in him, so he agreed to Lü Buwei's proposal to recommend him to lead the army, and said happily: "Please tell the national teacher for details quickly." ”

Li Liang said: "The reason why the five countries were able to succeed this time was that the soldiers were at the pass, and the key point was all on the son of Wuji, if this person went, the siege of the coalition army would be solved without a fight." The three counties of Taiyuan can also be safe. ”

Everyone nodded.

Even Lü Buwei wished that he had the best of both worlds, although he fought with all his might, in fact, he was making a desperate bet, if he lost again, even if he could still hold the position of Hangu Pass, it would not be guaranteed.

Li Liang looked at Xu Xian and said with a smile: "Although Sun Wu can't be resurrected, some of his military strategies are still applicable, and I often hear that Xinling Jun and King Anli of Wei are at odds......

Xu was a veteran in the army. was the first to react, and exclaimed in surprise: "The national teacher is talking about using anti-intermediary schemes!" ”

The others reacted one after another, and this trick was quite brilliant.

Only King Zhuang Xiang and a few Wenchen only knew the subtlety on the surface, but they didn't understand its connotation.

The veteran Lu Gong explained the confusion of King Qin and others: "Some time ago, there was a news from my Great Qin in the death of Wei that Xinling Jun had secretly planned to assassinate King Anli. Just tell the prince about it. Let him return to China and say that he knows with the king of Wei that the king of Wei will be afraid, afraid that when Wei Wuji returns triumphantly, he will take advantage of the situation to seize his throne, and in this case, Wei Wuji will be recalled to the country and seize his military power. The siege of such a coalition army is self-defeating. ”

All the ministers couldn't help but nod their heads in approval.

The discord between Xinling Jun Wei Wuji and the King of Wei is known to the world, after Xinling Jun robbed the tiger talisman to save Zhao, he had to stay in Handan and did not dare to return to Wei, just because the Qin people attacked Wei, and An Li had no choice but to do so. Cai Yang Xin Lingjun went back, if An Li was not jealous of Lingjun, no one would believe it.

The Qin people also like to use countermeasures.

Bai Qi attacked Changping, and used the counter-strategy to slander Lian Po, so that King Xiaocheng replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, which caused Changping to defeat fiasco.

A little anti-plot. Sometimes it's more powerful than thousands of troops.

Everyone was affected by the strong momentum of the five-nation alliance army, and only considered how to play the game head-on, but did not consider it from the other side, and at this time they were affected by Li Liangqi. They have opened another path to success.

There was a heated discussion.

Xu Xian thought about it but frowned and said: "The national teacher's mention is extremely wonderful, but there is still something I don't understand, if Wei Zeng is clearly allowed to go back and say this, then wouldn't everyone know that we are using a counter-strategy?" ”

Lu Gong sighed: "Admittedly, this is a good plan. ”

Du Bi said: "Although this plan is good, it is difficult to work. ”

This Du Bi is especially aimed at Li Liang, because he has always belonged to the camp of supporting Cheng Chan, the second son of King Qin, but I don't know if he has a noble status and is not affected by Yangquanjun.

With Lu Buwei's means of killing everything, of course, he will not let him go because of his soft-heartedness, so it can be seen that this person must have a basis.

Li Liang said: "Three days ago, when the young castle lord of Wujia Ranch came to visit the old castle lord in the National Teacher Palace, he inadvertently said a news that Long Yangjun of Wei State secretly lobbied Taifu Xiang Shaolong, hoping that he could add a few words to the prince and save his life. If we let Mrs. Xiang sell his favor, cooperate with Longyang Jun's people, help Prince Zeng steal away from Xianyang, and at the same time deceive Xinlingjun and inadvertently leak it to him, this counter-strategy can be expected to succeed. ”

Everyone first heard that Xiang Shaolong had a secret meeting with the important ministers of the enemy country, and they all snorted in unison, and then, when they heard that this anti-plot was about to be used in this link, they couldn't help but admire the national teacher Li Liang, who was able to connect so many irrelevant details into a peerless plan.

King Zhuang Xiang exclaimed: "The national teacher's plan is wonderful, this matter involves that Shaolong, and it will be handled by Lu Xiang." ”

The most important thing for Xu Xian and the others was that they didn't have to go out of the customs to fight hard with the enemy, and Lu Buwei was also happy not to take risks, so they were all happy, and turned to discuss how to make the prince unhappy.

After the discussion was settled, King Zhuangxiang summoned the crown prince in, and after a reprimand, Lü Buwei put him to death.

When the prince was so frightened that his face was blue and his lips were white, and when he fell to the ground softly, Li Liang came out and pleaded for mercy, and he told Xinlingjun "accidentally" under the inquiry of King Zhuangxiang.

Lu Gong pretended to stop Li Liang from leaking "information", and the prince pretended not to hear it, "confusing the past".

In the end, of course, he spared the prince's life, and only ordered him not to take half a step out of the Proton Mansion, and waited for disposal.

While King Zhuang Xiang and Lü Buwei remained in the inner court to discuss, Li Liang was fine and left the inner court with the other ministers.

Everyone was very respectful to him, only Na Du Bi was inconvenient to leave when everyone praised Xiang Shaolong.

Lu Gong and Xu Xian left with Xiang Shaolong in tow.

Lu Gong suddenly said: "Why did you recommend General Xu to the king?" ”

Li Liang said indifferently: "As an emperor, I should guide the king in the correct direction of governance, and General Xu is upright and upright, and it is suitable to assist the king to resist the court situation under the power of Lu Xiang, otherwise my surname Qin wins, or is my surname Lu Ye?" ”

Xu Xian said solemnly: "The national teacher is the real upright for the country, and I, Xu Xian, at least can't learn the mind of the national teacher who regards fame and power as floating clouds." ”

Suddenly, Li Liang understood that he had won the respect of all military personnel, and only then could he truly accept him from the heart, rather than simply admiring his strength and wisdom.

And Xiang Shaolong, under the arrangement of Lu Buwei later, leaked the news to Long Yangjun, who was resting in the Wujia Ranch.

The details of their contact process and detailed conversations were all presented on the desk of the civil and military ministers of the Qin State unchanged, and whoever called the inner ghosts placed by Lu Buwei in the Wu family were all high-level insiders of his own clan surnamed Wu.

After hearing Xiang Shaolong tell the whole thing, Long Yangjun was surprised: "If it's the other way around, why do you want to tell me?" ”

Xiang Shaolong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Excellency trusts me so much, how can I bear to lie to you." ”

Long Yangjun said: "Xinlingjun wants to assassinate the king, is it true?" ”

Xiang Shaolong nodded and said, "This is true, I have personally experienced this." ”

Long Yangjun said: "That's it." Although you say that you are a counter-plan, but it is very likely to be born, the Qin people are not out of retreat, Xinling Jun will have to retreat sooner or later, sooner or later, there is no difference, after this battle, there should be a period of calm in the world, the top priority at the moment is to get the prince back to Daliang, Shaolong, you must do something like that, then you and I can make a great contribution. ”

Of course, Xiang Shaolong understood what he meant, but he had an enmity with Xinlingjun, and now Zhao Ya was jealous of the Empress Dowager of Zhao, and was in exile in Wei, and was hiding in Xinlingjun's mansion for refuge.

Long Yangjun has always been inseparable from Xinlingjun, if you die, I will die, there is a wonderful way to bring down Xinlingjun, how can he definitely let it go.

Long Yangjun was so shrewd, he saw through his mind and said: "Don't worry, the name of the prince of Wuji shocked the six countries, how could the king not dare to execute him, and it was not so easy, it would only take away his military power and let him be idle, no matter what, I will protect Zhao Ya." ”

Xiang Shaolong put down his worries, discussed the details of the operation with Long Yangjun, and on the same night, Long Yangjun and his people arranged it "without fear and danger" to rescue Prince Zeng from Xianyang, and also had the official documents to pass the customs, and fled back to Wei.

In order to avoid Lu Buwei, Xiang Shaolong slipped back to the ranch overnight.

Soon, the king of Wei recalled Xinlingjun, and the coalition army had no dragon head, and each disbanded and returned.

The Qin army took the opportunity to fight out of the pass, and the armies of the five countries were defeated and scattered, and there was not one out of ten.

Although Xiang Shaolong played an important role in this counter-plot, in the eyes of the high-level dignitaries of the Qin State, especially the military personnel, he was an out-and-out traitor who "privately collaborated with the enemy country".

Moreover, Xiang Shaolong's father-in-law gave birth to a good brother-in-law for him, and the name of Wu Tingwei resounded in the circle of Qin elites. Although he did something beneficial to Daqin, but on the basis of betraying his family, the order of first protecting his family and then defending the country in troubled times, in his eyes, I am afraid that there is no such concept.

For a while, everyone in the Qin State looked down on Wu Tingwei, a loser, but even more despised Xiang Shaolong, the "traitor".

Xiang Shaolong lives in the Wujia Ranch, of course he doesn't know what the consequences of this damage to the people's hearts will be brought to him by Li Liang's guidance and Lu Buwei's "joyful" execution!

The reputation stinks, and everyone spurns!
