Chapter 1232: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (122) Each has its own gains
Mingtai was angry.
Fan Sui did not stay in Hangu Pass, and reached an agreement with Lu Chao, he embarked on the return journey, to this trip, compromise with Lu Chao is the most important task, at the same time, he also determined two facts, one is that Lu Chao will never return to Xianyang, in Hangu Pass, he is a tiger, and back to Xianyang, he will become a sick cat. Second, this person will never rebel.
The first fact shocked him, Lu Chao dared to have such confidence, which can only show one thing, that is, he has completely controlled this army.
And the second fact made him breathe a sigh of relief that he would not rebel, and this was the basis for cooperation.
Lu Chao regarded him as the logistics steward of the army, and he could also treat Lu Chao as a sharp knife in his hand, and between each other, it was already a naked relationship of mutual use.
"Isn't this a rebellion?" Mingtai's hands were shaking, "How can you tolerate such a big rebellion?" ”
Looking at Mingtai, Fan Sui said lightly: "So what?" ”
"Take him down and put him in jail!" Mingtai said angrily.
Fan Sui laughed, "Commander Ming, the Black Ice Platform must have planted a lot of spies under Lu Chao, right?" ”
Suddenly asked about this topic, Mingtai was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded, "Yes, this is inevitable." ”
"Then have you received any news about the bad things for Luff?" Fan Sui asked.
Mingtai froze suddenly.
"Lu Chao has reorganized the army under his command into an iron plate, and everyone obeys his orders, which is naturally indispensable to many means, but the Black Ice Platform has never had corresponding news to you, which can only mean that your spies have only two results, one is directly bought by him, and the other is isolated, and all you get is fake news. Have you never doubted it? A general who commands more than 100,000 troops, but there is no flaw on his body? Fan Sui asked again.
"General Lu Chaoda and the king have always been on good terms. I didn't think anything was out of the ordinary! "Mingtai was a little embarrassed.
Staring at Mingtai, Fan Sui exhaled softly, after the king came to power, he asked Zhong to leave to retire, but he took a bad move, Mingtai is loyal, but his ability is too far from Zhong Li, at least politically.
When a person who has come to the position of Lu Chao, any friendship and friendship are as vulnerable as floating clouds in the face of major interests. Not to mention a madman like him.
From the outside, Lu Chao is by no means like a madman, personable, treats people and things, gentle as jade, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and it goes deep into his heart, only this kind of person's madness is the most difficult to control.
"Get out of all your people who are with him. He asked me to warn you, if you make trouble with him again, he will kill one of them. Fan Sui said lightly.
"Isn't he rebelling?" Mingtai roared angrily: "Every member of the imperial court must accept the supervision of the Black Ice Terrace. ”
"Do you think it's still useful?" Fan Sui asked rhetorically.
"In that case, why should he be appeased?"
"Not appeasement. It's a compromise between each other. Fan Sui said leisurely: "Lu Chao doesn't want to rebel, this is the bottom line, he is not a simple general, if it is just like this." It's easy, but don't forget, he's still a descendant of the Lee school. It is the successor designated by Li Ru, both civil and military, he occupies all, if we turn against him, it is not only the problem of army turmoil, but also the problem of internal chaos, if it really reaches such a point, then Daqin is really finished, I am afraid that the Han army does not need to be dispatched on a large scale, and so many cavalry divisions can wipe us out. ”
"Do you just tolerate him?"
"Now he can only tolerate it, he wants to defeat Gao Yuan, doesn't he? This is the magic barrier in his heart, this is very good, this is the same as our goal, as long as the goal is the same, we can cooperate, he gives me what I want, I give him what he wants, as for the future, then let's talk about it, Gao Yuan is our common enemy, if we lose, then everything will be over, if I believe in winning, then come and fight with him again. Fan Sui said slowly.
"Isn't this a tiger for trouble?"
"This tiger, the first to bite the enemy to death, and then it is possible to attack us, if we don't raise a tiger now, we will be finished first." Fan Sui smiled.
"He agreed to his request?"
"Of course, we will not be hindered too much in the next domestic reforms, and even if there is, it will not be reported. Lu Chao's statement will make the vast majority of people give up the illusion in their hearts, since they have given up this fantasy, they will naturally move closer to us, in this process of getting closer, we will complete the domestic reform, and on the other hand, we will quietly dismantle Lu Chao's arm and disintegrate the Li school. Fan Sui said softly.
"But Shousuke, in the process, even if we dismantle his arm, it is very likely that the army will grow stronger and stronger in his hands. When the time comes, the tail will not fall off, and we will have no way to counter him. ”
Fan Sui laughed, "Do you think he can defeat Gao Yuan?" ”
This is a difficult question to answer, and Mingtai suddenly didn't know how to answer it. He hoped that Lu Chao could defeat Gao Yuan, so that the biggest external threat to Great Qin would be eliminated, but if Lu Chao won, how would the imperial court deal with him?
Looking at Mingtai's ever-changing face, Fan Sui laughed lightly, "He can't win against Gao Yuan, this person is already crazy inside, a madman, he looks normal, but it is impossible to achieve great things, his madness, in the end, will only pit himself." ”
"But if he loses, it's not a good thing for our Great Qin." Mingtai said a little depressed.
"What we need is not his victory, we just need him to resist the attack of the Han army for us and become a barrier for us, the longer he fights with the Han army, the more I like it."
"But it's all our Great Qin's warriors who died!"
"This army is no longer the warriors of our Great Qin!" Fan Sui's face became cruel, "The new Great Qin Warriors will grow up soon. ”
"But you promised Lu Chao to make him the commander of the whole country, he has the right to mobilize all the troops, even if we work hard to train an army, we will be transferred by him, and if he does it again, won't he become his person again?" Mingtai Road.
"There are two people he doesn't know how to tune." Fan Sui held up two fingers.
"Which two?"
"The first one, Tan Feng, can be heard from his words, he is still very jealous of Tan Feng, Tan Feng, in terms of talent, is not under Lu Chao, when it comes to conspiracy, he is also a good hand, such a person's subordinates, Lu Chao does not dare to use it. The second person is the white Xuanyi Guard, this is the royal guard, even if you send it to Lu Chao, he won't use it. Lu Chao will mobilize a large number of local guards into his army, this person has a paranoid confidence in himself, he will be confident that these local guards will be trained into a strong force when they are in his hands. ”
"This person does have a set of leading troops." Mingtai smiled bitterly.
"Let him go and fight Gao Yuan in Jinyang, ask for money for money, give food for food, and I will give you whatever you want." Fan Sui's eyes became extremely sharp. "All I want is time."
Looking at Fan Sui's resolute look, Mingtai was inexplicably full of confidence in his heart, it seems that Fan Shoufu is more insidious than Lu Chao, perhaps, the final winner will definitely be the old man in front of him.
Changping City quieted down suddenly, although the Qin army did not withdraw, but did not attack again, the occasional attack is also thunder, rain is small, taste the stop, this kind of grandeur, let Zhao Xilie and others be puzzled, it is said that the Qin army should attack in a big way, because time is not good for them, the reinforcements of the Han State are constantly pulling here, and when the Han army arrives, it will be their turn to be abused.
What makes Zhao Xilie even more incomprehensible is that the king Gao Yuan seems to have expected this situation a long time ago, and he hides in the room every day leisurely studying his chess games, enjoying himself.
And as time passed, the Qin army's offensive completely stopped, and on the twentieth day after the Battle of Changping began, the Qin army suddenly retreated sharply, and did not stop until Lubin, and it was not until this time that the Zhao army scouts in Changping finally found out the details, and the Qin army actually began to build fortresses and defensive positions on a large scale in Lubin.
The day after the retreat of the Qin army, Xu Yuan, the commander of the First Military Region of the Han Dynasty, led his troops to Jinyang. Xu Yuan arrived with the Sixth Army, which was subordinate to the First Military Region of the Han Dynasty, with the commander Yan Haibo, the Eighth Army, the commander Luo Weiran, and the Ninth Army, the commander of the infantry. The total strength of the three main battle armies exceeded 60,000, and an independent cavalry division was added, with 10,000 cavalry under the command of Gongsun Yi.
"The Changping meat grinder project is not over now, on the contrary, it is really starting now." Returning to Gao Yuan in Jinyang City, he looked at the generals gathered under his command and said with a smile. "I have achieved my goal, Lu Chao has also achieved his goal, the next thing is to continue to bleed the Qin army here, and consume their strength on this land little by little, Xu Yuan, I am also leaving, Old Man Jiang has already sent me countless letters, almost pointing at my nose and scolding me for not doing my job, hiding in Changping to enjoy leisure."
All the generals in the room burst out laughing.
"The next step is not to rush to attack the Qin army, we have to give him a certain amount of time and let him transfer more troops over!" Gao Yuan waved his hand and said in harmony, and laughter rang out in the room again.
"The first thing to do next is the reorganization of Xilie's subordinates, and only by completing the reorganization can we make our combat effectiveness stronger, Xilie, what do you think?"
"What the king said is very true." Zhao Xilie bowed and said.
"Very good, the battle must be fought, but the civil affairs cannot be relaxed, and then the political affairs hall will send a large number of officials over, and some things also need the cooperation of the army to restore the livelihood of the people in Shanggu, Jinyang and other places, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, this is the source of the invincibility of our Han army."
