Chapter 1071: East Becomes West (64)

After the news of Li Xin's defeat and Wang Xiao's defeat was officially announced by the Qin court, the entire Qin State fell into silence, which was the biggest defeat suffered by the Qin State in decades. Since the national mobilization order has not yet been issued, except for the surrounding areas of Xianyang, the rest of the Qin region is still nervously waiting for Xianyang's order, but the whole country has entered an extremely tense atmosphere.

And even lower than the atmosphere of Xianyang is the huge palace of the Black Ice Platform. King Wulie's personal troops, Xuanyi Guard, took three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, surrounded this palace, and they were able to walk up the steps unimpeded, and those who pushed open the heavy gate were only a few Liao Liao.

The third day of the eighth month is a sad day for the people of Xianyang, because on this day, the coffin of their military god Li Xin was escorted by a team of soldiers of the Han Kingdom and returned to Xianyang. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, this group of Han soldiers arrived at night, and after receiving Li Xin's coffin outside the city, they were escorted by Qin soldiers and left Xianyang.

When the sun rose in the east, Li Xin's coffin entered the city under the escort of the Qin soldiers, and the Manchu civil and military forces led by the fourth prince Yingying came out to greet him. Ying Ying personally supported the coffin, and Li Xin's coffin went straight into the Xianyang Palace, and was carried to the huge palace of the Black Ice Terrace, and placed in front of the bed of King Qin Wulie.

King Qin Wulie's body had completely collapsed, and he couldn't even sit up from the bed, looking at the huge coffin placed in front of the bed, King Qin Wulie burst into tears. Stretched out his hand and held the cold coffin, "Li Xin, I hurt you, when Helanxiong successfully retreated from Daijun, I should listen to your advice and give up this attack, it was I, with a fluke heart, to let you continue to move forward, which made today's bitter wine, I don't know if you were blaming me before you died, but I know that my time is not enough, although Yingying is good, but compared to Gao Yuan, it is still far inferior, I want to defeat Gao Yuan in my lifetime, Leave him with an easier situation to deal with!"

King Qin Wulie, who was muttering to himself, wiped the tears from his face.

"Li Xin, you are stupid, even if it comes to that point, with your ability, it is not a problem for you to escape back safely, why don't you understand, you alone are worth 100,000 soldiers, why do you fight with your life for such a little hope! Why don't you flee, even if the 100,000 troops are destroyed, as long as you can come back, what a big deal it can be for us to build another 100,000 troops!"

Yingying, who was kneeling on the side, also made a sad voice: "Father, by the way!"

King Qin Wulie's eyes widened, looking at the coffin, how can his relationship with Li Xin be understood by Yingying, Li Xin has been following King Qin Wulie since he was a child, in that era of swords and swords, Li Xin was born and died again and again, and King Qin Wulie broke out of the world together, helping King Qin Wulie to ascend the throne of Great Qin, and a few years before King Qin Wulie first ascended the throne, it was Li Xin who led his troops to repel the attacks of the other six countries on the Qin State again and again, ensuring the stability of the Qin State of King Qin Wulie, and it was in this victory again and again, the state of Qin began to grow stronger step by step. Li Xin, for King Wulie of Qin, is not only a subordinate, but also a brother who can be trusted with life and death.

"Your Majesty, the general has been dead for a long time, or enter the earth as soon as possible, above the court, the details of the burial of the general have been prepared, and the four princes have also been seen, please enjoy the burial of the general!" Fan Sui took a step forward, knelt on the ground, and said.

"No hurry!" King Qin Wulie shook his head slightly, "I can't survive for a few days, so I will put the general's coffin here, and when I die, I will bury him next to my mausoleum."

"This ......" Fan Sui was stunned for a moment. The king ......"

"Needless to say, this matter, just do it." King Qin Wulie waved his hand, "I'm still trying my best to hold on, and I just want to wait for Meng Tian to come back, and wait for Mr. Li to come back."

"Yes!" Fan Sui lowered his head, "Wang, according to the Han army officer who sent General Li, General Wang Xiao's body will also be sent back later, how to deal with General Wang Xiao's funeral?"

King Qin Wulie was silent for a moment, and said: "After Wang Xiao comes back, just find a place to bury it, the Wang family, now all of them have been sent to prison, and all of them will be sent to Shannan County."

"Your Majesty, isn't this too harsh? Wang Xiao's past merits and demerits are not to be said for the time being, but in the end, he still died fighting for the country!" Fan Sui raised his head and argued.

King Qin Wulie ignored Fan Sui, but turned his head with some difficulty and looked at Ying Ying, "Wang Xiao is my Great Qin Hao family, this time it is only Wang Xiao's immediate family who is imprisoned, and when I die, you ascend the throne, the first thing is to order Wang Xiao to be pardoned and buried separately, do you understand what I mean?"

Ying Ying and Fan Sui's bodies were shocked, and they looked at King Qin Wulie incredulously, with a wry smile on the corner of King Qin Wulie's mouth: "I'm going to die, a person who is going to die, I'm not afraid of others saying I'm mediocre and harsh, but you're different, Yingying, you're different from me, I've been reigning for decades, and I've always ruled with an iron bowl, and after you ascend the throne, you must be lenient and benevolent, as long as no one challenges your royal power and rule, those who can tolerate it should try to tolerate it until you feel that you can control my ability to control the court."

"Son understood!" Ying Ying wept.

"Zhou Yu and Tan Feng control an army of 100,000, these two people have no foundation in Daqin, the generals under their command are all my Great Qin generals, and the two of them have no ability to influence the government of my Great Qin, so the two of them can only rely on you tightly, relying on the royal power of my Great Qin to show their backs, so these two can be trusted. Needless to say, you have worked with him for a long time, and the gap between this person and Gao Yuan, the king of the Han Dynasty, is quite deep, here, not only is it not the contradiction that Gao Yuan used his mother to seize Shannan County and cause him to be imprisoned, but more importantly, Lu Chao doesn't want a person he has looked down on since he was a child, and he can actually override him, so what Lu Chao wants most is to take Gao Yuan off the horse, and then step on it heavily, Lu Chao is above the military, after all these years of tempering, he has been quite mature, although it is not as good as Li Xin's overall view, and it is not as calm as Meng Tian, But in terms of the use of tactics, there are no less than these two, and they can also be reused."

"Erchen remembers."

"These two troops are now the strength of Great Qin, the 30,000 Xuanyi guards of Xianyang, in the year you have returned, you have been firmly in control, remember, this army must not leave Xianyang. I have already sent Mr. Li to negotiate with Han Guo Gaoyuan, I think, this time, we will have to accept many humiliating conditions, Xi Ying, you remember, all agreed down, endure the humiliation, lie down and taste the courage, you don't need me to teach you again. It will take you at least ten years to revive my Great Qin, and after you have trained a strong army, you can send a letter to Guguan again."

"Yes!"

"Zhongli can be trusted."

"Shoufu Fan Sui can be entrusted with great things."

"Externally, try your best to support Zhao Qi against the Han State, King Chu Huai will definitely be afraid of Gao Yuan this time, so in a short period of time, maybe he will fight against us, if he dares to move, then you have to not move, and if you move, you will beat the Chu State to the point that you will never dare to look west, but you remember Yingying, your general strategy is to join Chu, and join Zhao to fight against Han together, because although King Chu Huai is mediocre, his subordinates Huang Xie, Qu Zhong and others are very good talents, and they will see the threat of the reality of Han. Now any of us is no longer able to deal with the Han alone, but if we join forces, we will be stronger than the Han State."

"The son will keep that in mind."

"Between countries, there is never an eternal friend, the interests are in hand, the interests are contrary to each other, how to grasp the degree of this, you can ask Fan Xiang and Mr. Li."

"Father, Mr. Li formulated the national policy for my Great Qin, and my son thinks it is very problematic." Ying Ying plucked up her courage, "How many years has Jiang Jiaquan supported the Han Kingdom, and the Han Kingdom has reached such a point now, if it is our Great Qin, then what?"

Hearing Yingying's words, King Wulie of Qin raised his hand and waved it gently, "You are wrong, Jiang Jiaquan has been able to achieve this point, which is related to the special environment in which the Han Kingdom is located. Don't look at others as good and think that you can do well, remember Luo, what suits you is the best."

Listening to King Qin Wulie's words, although Ying Ying was a little unconvinced, she didn't dare to argue.

"Go down, all of you, and remember my words for today."

Everyone kowtowed, silently withdrew from the Black Ice Platform, and stood on the high steps outside the Black Ice Platform, Fan Sui glanced at Ying Ying with some concern: "Fourth Prince, the words of the king just now are the most reasonable words, I Daqin has been implementing the statecraft formulated by Mr. Li for decades, from top to bottom, it has long been a system of its own, intertwined, light and unmoving, touch one and launch the whole body!"

"Mr. Fan, I remember that you are not a student of the Li family!" Ying Ying looked at Fan Sui angrily.

"Because of this, I can see more clearly that Jiang Jiaquan and Gao Yuan's set will not work in our Great Qin." Fan Sui sighed and said, "What suits us is the best. Fourth Prince, we can't learn from the Han Kingdom. We have to find another way to make our country stronger."

Ying Ying nodded, walked down a few steps, and suddenly turned around: "Fan Xiang, after General Meng comes back, how will my father arrange for him?"

Fan Sui glanced at Ying Ying deeply, and a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, "How dare your subordinates guess the king's thoughts."

Looking at Fan Sui's back in a hurry, Ying Ying had already understood the truth that Fan Sui didn't say. (To be continued......)
