Lu Chao sat by the fire, holding a special issue of the Han Weekly in his hand. Unlike Tan Feng in Yingchuan, it would take some trouble for him to get the Han Weekly Report at Hangu Pass, because the two sides were still in a serious military standoff in Jinyang, and the Han State now did not allow any materials to flow into the Qin State, of course, Lu Chao could get what he wanted through smuggling, which was not a problem for him, and it also gave him an excuse to deal with the imperial court. The Han Kingdom is based on business, and Lu Chao has now seen through this, businessmen are profit-seeking, as long as there is enough profit, they dare to do anything, even if they risk losing their heads. Now Gou Yi is doing these things for Lu Chao, speaking of which, these Han merchants are bold and wild enough, and even the steel, iron, and even the weapons that are eliminated from the army that are strictly forbidden to circulate to the Qin State by the Han State can be obtained and then resold to the Qin State.

Seeing those weapons smuggled back by Gouyi, Lu Chao felt a little sour, these weapons are basically fifty percent new, if it is on his own side, then it must still be the right time, but in the Han Kingdom, it has been eliminated, and it was originally to be transported back into molten iron and recast, but these businessmen don't know what method they used, so they actually made it upside down, and the businessman surnamed Guo had to see it when he was free, and the businessman who could get the weapon must have a great background behind it.

A lot of money is spent, but in Lu Chao's opinion, they are all used on the blade, these weapons, if they are forged by themselves, not to mention whether there is such a good quality, the cost alone, it will definitely not be lower than spending this money, not to mention, private weapons will also give the truth, now this is very good, although the weapons in the arsenal have been piled up, but Lu Chao will never mind that he only adds a few arsenals, once the war starts, the loss of weapons is extremely amazing. If there is no supplement, is it difficult to let the soldiers go to the battlefield with their bare hands?

Now Lu Chao is also every issue of the Han Weekly, he will read carefully, a lot of information they want to do everything possible to get it, and now it is published on the weekly newspaper in a grand manner, because the smuggling businessmen need to bring it over, Lu Chao always sees these newspapers for a few days at night.

This is a special issue, and almost all the pages are about the election of the first assistant of the Han Kingdom. On the sub-page, there are even all the life experiences of the two candidates, in Lu Chao's opinion, this is just a matter of picking up the ** of the two candidates to see what color it is.

"Death!" Read this special issue carefully. Lu Chao didn't even let go of a word, put down the newspaper, and he made a two-word evaluation of Gouyi.

"General, why do you say that?" Gou Yi has always been a qualified compliment, and he asked in a very timely manner.

"Gou Yi, this matter of being elected by the crowd actually happened in a dynasty a long time ago, but then it died out, do you know why?" Lu Chao asked.

Gou Yi thought about it. Shaking his head, "My subordinates have always been military generals, focusing more on martial arts, these heads." I don't dabble much, where can I match the general, you are an all-round talent. ”

"You will have fewer opportunities to go to the battlefield in the future, and you will have to be involved in political affairs, and you will read more history books when you have nothing to do. Good for you. Lu Chao glanced at him dissatisfied.

"Yes, General, my subordinates know." Gou Yi lowered his eyebrows and said pleasing to the eye. Since he was captured by the Han and inexplicably released, his future in the army is completely over, to put it more clearly, with Lu Chao, he still has one day to get ahead, if there is no Lu Chao, he will be trampled into the dust, and with him, there must be the Gou family.

"When people are elected, there are often two extremes, one is that the person who is elected is too good, and the whole court is sincerely obedient to him, can the king rest assured that such a person is so good?" Lu Chao asked.

"Naturally, he is not at ease, if everyone obeys him, I am afraid that it will be very easy to elevate the king and make the king a puppet and a good-looking goods." Gou Yi nodded.

"The second is that several groups of people fight to the death, and they all want to arch their own people and trample others down." Lu Chao said again.

"Party fighting!" Gou Yi blurted out.

"Yes, party struggle, just like our current Great Qin Dynasty, although it is not an election, but it is a strong and solid party struggle, and the Great Qin has today, it is inseparable from the party struggle. If there is still a way to solve the dictatorship of ministers, the party struggle is a disaster that will continue and there will never be peace. Lu Chao sneered: "The newly established country of the Han Kingdom, the founding monarch is naturally incomparable in prestige, saying one or the other, but Gao Yuan does not know life and death, delusional retro, the implementation of this method of recommendation, in the Han Dynasty, naturally no one can shake his authority, but the party struggle naturally came into being, have you read this issue of the Han Weekly?" Yan Shenghao and Wu Qi's battle for the first assistant, how many votes are there differences? Only more than 50 sheets, according to them, a simple half can win the election, Yan Shenghao was elected as the first assistant, but this number of votes also shows that Wu Qi's current strength is not weak, in the next time, we will watch Wu Qi dismantle Yan Shenghao's platform, only Yan Shenghao does not do a good job, can bring out Wu Qi, so the disaster of the Han State party struggle began today. ”

"That's a good thing for us!" Gou Yi was overjoyed, "General, now that the Han Kingdom has overwhelmed us, if they fight among themselves, it will really give us a good breath!" ”

"We're no better!" Lu Chao's face was a little gloomy.

"Why should the general worry, we just have to stay at Hangu Pass, sit and watch the wind and clouds rise, Fan Sui won't have much time, his reform is not far from failure."

"If he succeeds in reform, he will slowly think about cleaning me up, but if he fails, I'm afraid that the court will deal with me immediately." Lu Chao let out a long breath, "So we have to prepare early." ”

"The general is right, the faster he loses, the sooner he will deal with us, but we are not fully prepared, they are not either, the strength is insufficient, it is their soft threat, 30,000 Xuanyi guards aside, how strong can the new army of Bai Qi training be?"

"Don't forget Tan Feng Zhou Yu." Lu Chao shook his head, "These two people still have an army of 100,000 in their hands. Especially Tan Feng, the army under his command has been under his training in the past few years, but its combat effectiveness is extraordinary, relying on the power of Yingchuan, this army is at least currently in terms of equipment, and it is stronger than us. ”

"How dare Tan Feng move lightly, when the time comes, if he moves, won't he give the Han people a chance, this person gritted his teeth and hated Gao Yuan, I think we can win him over." Gou Yi suggested.

"Tan Feng, I can't see through it." Lu Chao frowned slightly, "But you can do this first, there is no harm in contacting it, it is naturally a good thing to be able to pull it over, and the worst thing is to keep him neutral." ”

"Got it!" Gou Yi nodded.

"Is there an eyebrow for the thing I told you to do in secret?" Lu Chao threw the special issue of the Dahan Weekly in his hand into the fire.

"The candidate has been searched, there are seven or eight similarities, and the subordinates are currently training, and you also know that it always takes time for an ordinary person to master so many things." Gou Yi replied.

"This matter must be done well, the confidentiality work must be in place, and after it is completed, the personnel involved in this matter, you must quietly eliminate all of them, and you can't leak a little rumor."

"Understood, General."

"Go ahead, Xu Yahua is coming in the afternoon, I think, it's time to have a showdown with him, he is my deputy, if you can't work with me, it's always a trouble." Lu Chao thought for a moment and said.

Gou Yi was taken aback, "General, you are going to have a showdown with General Xu, what about the corresponding arrangement?" ”

"You don't need to worry about this, just do your own thing!" Lu Chao's face turned cold.

"The subordinate has lost his word." Gou Yi lowered his head deeply, saluted Lu Chao, turned around and strode away.

Lu Chao bent down to lift the small copper kettle on the side of the charcoal fire, mixed some hot water into his already cold tea, held it to his mouth, and gently sipped it. Outsiders talk about their scenery, but how can they expect the pain in their hearts and the pressure on their shoulders? He is six years older than Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan has just turned thirty this year, and he is only thirty-six, but his temples are already early.

Outside the General's Mansion, dozens of horsemen galloped over, the first one was Lu Chao's deputy Xu Yahua, compared to Lu Chao, who was only thirty-six years old, Xu Yahua's age was already very old, he was forty-nine years old this year, and next year would be the age of knowing the destiny of heaven. At this time, he was summoned to come to the General's Mansion, Xu Yahua's heart was a little uneasy, in the past few years of following Lu Chao, he has been cautious and obedient, because he understands that the big tree on his head that can shelter him from the wind and rain has already left when the death knell of King Wulie of Qin has sounded, that is something he never imagined, why did General Meng leave suddenly when the Spring and Autumn Period was in his prime.

As soon as Meng Tian was gone, his subordinates were also divided into pieces, and now they are under the command of several different generals, and there is basically no contact with each other.

What Lu Chao did in Hangu Pass had made him vaguely understand what the general was going to do, but he couldn't do anything, Lu Chao's control over the army was extremely strong, and now, even he didn't know, how many people in the old department he led were still following his orders?

For him, everything was in turmoil, and it all started with the sudden death of General Meng Tian.

Outside the General's Mansion, he turned over and dismounted, where were the officers of the General's Mansion waiting, and when he saw Xu Yahua, he immediately ran to meet him, "General Xu, are you back?" ”

"I came back to complain on the order of the general, where is the general now?"

"The general is waiting for you in the study, please come with General Xu." The officer smiled sheepishly. (To be continued......)
