Genius One Second Memory → Net, providing you with wonderful novels to read. Read the full text of the latest chapter Li Ru is critically ill, for Lu Chao, it is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day exploding in his head, for him, Li Ru is not only his academic guide, but also his political guide, it is precisely because of Li Ru's guidance that he started to be much higher than others, more than ten years, maybe other people can fight from a book to a county order is good, but himself, now in the Great Qin Kingdom ranked first general.
Of course, there is one demon who is stronger than himself, and that is Takato who grew up with him. Gao Yuan had already created a huge kingdom, and Lu Chao had to admit that the Great Han Kingdom had now replaced and surpassed Qin as the most powerful country on this continent.
Li Ru has passed seventy, whether it is him, or the inheritor of the second generation of Li Confucianism led by Lu Chao, in fact, he has been silently preparing for today, in recent years, Li Ru has been in the political arena to create a good environment for Lu Chao, and determined that Lu Chao is the successor and head of the Li Confucian school. To ensure that after Li Ru left, the Li Confucian school could still have the right to speak in the Qin State.
But the layout was not perfect, especially after the assassination of Fan Sui, which made Lu Chao realize that within the Qin State, there had always been a cabal that opposed Li Confucianism. The result of Qin Wang Yingying's treatment of Fan Sui made all the people of the Li Confucian school more vigilant, the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, after the death of King Qin Wulie, whether the new king will not always adhere to the existing national policy is itself a questionable question.
But as long as Li Ru is still there, King Qin will not move, and all along, Li Ru's body looks excellent, no one expected that he would fall so suddenly and so unexpectedly.
Compared with Li Ru, the incident in Xizhao was naturally nothing in Lu Chao's heart, and he also knew what Cui Yuan meant by sending someone to inform him and let him rush back to Xianyang. The Li Confucian school needs to be after the fall of the teacher. There was a person who could have absolute influence on Qin Wang Yingying appeared in Xianyang, appeared at Wang Shang's side, and all the officials of the Li Confucian school after the rectification.
Lu Chao also knew that he had to go back to Xianyang. If the teacher dies and the King of Qin has the heart to change his course, the Li Confucian school will lose its right to speak and dominate, and there is no doubt about it. The Li Confucian school is his solid backing, if the Li Confucian school falls, he may not have any problems for the time being, but as time goes by, no one can say for sure, and the feelings accumulated by Yingying in those years with his southern and northern wars may be consumed at any time. 800
Lu Chao stepped into Hangu Pass, regardless of the hardships of the journey, and immediately convened a meeting of all the Qin army generals and local civil affairs officials in Hangu Pass, and immediately embarked on the road back to Xianyang after the arrangements were made.
Actually, there is not much to say. In the eyes of Lu Chao, Xi Zhao is no longer an opponent of the same weight, they are now, for Qin Guo, they are more like a pet that will sometimes be willful, as long as it is within the scope of tolerance, you might as well return it with a tolerant smile, but it is too much, of course, it is indispensable to fight, this time the Jinyang mutiny. In Lu Chao's opinion, this is the case, it needs to be knocked firmly and turned over, and by the way, let them ask for clarity, the majesty of the master is not to be challenged.
It's a little thing. Gou Yi is enough to do it well, compared to the matter of Xianyang, this little thing to teach pets is really not worth it, at the meeting, for the Jinyang mutiny. Lu Chao didn't say a word, but emphasized the stability of the army and the locality, after he returned to Xianyang, before he redeployed the general of Hanguguan Town, there was a need for absolute calm here.
The calm here represents his authority and influence. When Gou Yi quelled the Jinyang Mutiny and officially turned Western Zhao into a vassal of Qin, he also had enough merit and qualifications to guard Hangu Pass for himself and carry the 100,000 army for himself.
Gou Yi is Lu Chao's absolute confidant, and Lu Chao is extremely trusting of Gou Yi.
But nine times out of ten, at the end of the meeting, when all the important generals and officials got up and bowed to Lu Chao to say goodbye, the door of the lobby was pushed open with a bang, and a bloodied Qin army general stumbled in, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he fell to the ground with a thud, trying to fight to get up, but there was no strength at all, only a bloody hand stretched out, and a hoarse voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"General, our army is in ambush, the cavalry of the Han army has entered Jinyang on a large scale, and our army is in ambush, and it is in danger."
With a bang, Lu Chao stood up from his seat, and his movements were so big that even the chair he was sitting on was overturned to the ground by his belt, and all the generals and officials in the hall were also stunned, and after a moment of silence, all kinds of surprises sounded in the hall.
The sudden appearance of the Han cavalry in Jinyang County on a large scale can only illustrate an astonishing fact, that is, Western Zhao has betrayed Great Qin and become an accomplice of the Han army, and only with the help of the Western Zhao people can the cavalry of the Han army hide from the eyes and ears of the Qin army, appear silently, and catch the Qin army by surprise.
What this represents, all the generals of the Qin army know very well, this is not just a matter of Qin losing a source of grain, grass and silver, but from now on, Hangu Pass will once again confront the enemy head-on, and Hangu Pass, which has been silent for less than two years, will once again become the forefront of defending Great Qin.
Yes, it was to defend, because everyone knew in their hearts that now, the Great Qin army had lost the capital for a large-scale attack, and without the support of strong silver money, a long-distance expedition could only be a joke.
The tooth will be carried to the side room, several doctors were urgently summoned for treatment, and half an hour later, Lu Chao appeared in the lobby again, his face was as heavy as water, which made the hearts of all the generals and officials sink.
"Now we can be sure that Xizhao has betrayed us, the so-called Jinyang mutiny, is an out-and-out trap, our army is dozens of miles away from Jinyang was attacked by a large-scale cavalry of the Han army, judging from the banner that appeared, it should be the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division and the Xiongnu Independent Cavalry Division, these two cavalry divisions of the Han State are all aliens, good at cavalry and archery, our infantry team was suddenly attacked by these two cavalry divisions on the march, and the whole army has been wiped out, and the five thousand cavalry led by Gou Yi is still unknown, in addition, Yang Jie's 5,000 men stationed in Jinyang City must be gone. Lu Chao's voice was extremely low, and everyone could feel the thick and irresolvable anger of the Lord from Lu Chao's gloomy face that could drip water, and the extremely suppressed voice.
Whoever has a pet suddenly bites the owner back, and the bite is not light, everyone will be furious, everyone is waiting for the angry general Lu Chao to issue a military order, and tens of thousands of troops in Hangu Pass will attack to avenge this.
After a long silence, all the generals heard military orders that they were extremely incomprehensible.
"All the generals, each returned to the camp, and the whole army entered a state of combat readiness, waiting for the next order."
In the surprised and puzzled eyes of everyone, Lu Chao, who was blushing with a blue face, shook his hand and left the lobby. Generals, you look at me, I look at you, I don't understand what the general is waiting for, the Han army came too suddenly, in this case, Gou Yi led by the cavalry raid, failure is inevitable, but it is just two Han cavalry divisions, together there are only more than 10,000 people, and in Hangu Pass, even if Gou Yi's 20,000 troops are wiped out, there is still an army of more than 80,000 people, as long as they attack, there is no reason not to win, defeating the Han army, regaining the territory of Western Zhao, is not a very difficult thing.
Swallowing Xizhao, the general once again opened up the territory, and this time the reason was sufficient, there was no political pressure, and everyone did not understand why the general hesitated, why he just asked everyone to prepare for war, instead of attacking immediately. At this point, time is everything, because every day that passes, the enemy has the potential to increase their forces and consolidate the fruits of their victory, so that every day that passes, it will make victory difficult by one point.
Puzzled, everyone left the place and turned back to their respective armies, although they were puzzled, but the military orders must be carried out.
And after the generals left, in the back hall of the general's mansion, Lu Chao was like an ant on a hot pot, walking around the room, and on the other side of the hall, a man decorated with scribe clothes stood there, his face full of anxiety.
"General, it is indeed not the time to start the war, Mr. Li is in danger, you must return to Xianyang immediately, since the Han army is just two cavalry divisions, then, any general can be competent for this job, this does not prevent you from returning to Xianyang, even if you hold Hangu Pass, no one dares to say anything about you, under such extreme weather, the enemy situation is not clear, you are steady, hold Hangu Pass, even if there is no merit, there is no time, Xizhao is just a mustard disease, wait for Xianyang's major event, It's never too late to come back and pack up. ”
Lu Chao glared at him fiercely, "What do you know, at this moment, it is the best time for us to attack, I dare to conclude that the Han army can only arrive in Jinyang now with these two cavalry divisions of theirs, because only they can arrive in the shortest possible time, their infantry must still be on the way at the moment, but every day passes, their reinforcements will be closer to Jinyang." Every day that passes, we are a little closer to losing Zhao Di, if I avoid a fight, but return to Xianyang at this juncture, what will the king think of me? ”
"General, what matters now is not what the king thinks of you, as long as you return to Xianyang, let all the people have the backbone, and reunite under a big banner, even if the king is dissatisfied in his heart, he is helpless against you, if you don't go back and choose to fight, not to mention whether you can win or not, as you said, the Han army is all cavalry, if he doesn't want to fight, how can you fight with him, they have the right to choose the battlefield."
"I don't need to choose, as long as I go out to attack Jinyang County, I'm not afraid that they won't come to me."
"How long does it take to beat Jinyang?" The scribe asked rhetorically. "Even if the Xizhao army is vulnerable, but they have a strong city to help, ten days, a month, or half a year and a year, general, have you ever thought about it, if you really need this time, then everything is over. We have received definite news that the king has indeed issued an edict to summon Fan Sui back to Xianyang! (To be continued.) )
