Chapter 117: Fan Yuqi and Prince Dan! Misinterpret the edict!
During the reign of King Zhaoxiang that year, Fan Yu was the general of Bei to attack Korea, and he took down three cities in a row, built great achievements, and was named a general by King Zhaoxiang.
However, the good times did not last long, and the high-spirited Fan Yuzhi had not yet had time to command the troops, and the king of Zhaoxiang passed away, but he and Huayangjun were also familiar with him, and Huayangjun succeeded to the throne, and he must be reused for him.
But what I didn't expect was that Huayang Jun, who was also King Qin Xiaowen, died after reigning for three days.
Fan Yu was stunned, who is Zichu? He knows, the adopted son of the Empress Dowager Huayang, but Zichu doesn't know him.
After Zichu succeeded to the throne, he reused LΓΌ Buwei, and all the big and small things in the court were to ask LΓΌ Buwei, and as a newcomer, LΓΌ Buwei only focused on the clan and the wealthy family, how could he pay attention to him, a person who has not been a general for a long time?
Since he couldn't lead the troops, LΓΌ Buwei suddenly ordered Fan Yuzhi to be the deputy commander of the city guards.
Fan Yuqi was disheartened, knowing that it was difficult for him to get ahead, and he was inexplicably resentful towards Lu Buwei who was pressing on his head.
At this time, Fan Yuzhi, as usual, went to the city guard for a walk, and after several rounds, he came to the mansion of Dan, the proton son of Yan Kingdom.
As soon as Yan Dan saw Fan Yuzhi, he looked overjoyed: "Brother, how can you be free to go to the foolish brother's mansion today, please come in quickly!" β
Fan Yuqi said: "There is nothing to do in the city, come to your place to drink wine, don't you welcome my brother." β
Yan Dan said with a smile: "What did my brother say, my brother is still afraid that my brother will not come, come here, prepare a banquet, Mai Ji, I want to have a drink with my brother today."
Gongzi Dan enthusiastically took Fan Yuzhi's arm and led him to the main house.
Gongzi Dan, also Ji Dan, is the crown prince of Yan State, and was a proton in Zhao State and Yingzheng in his early years, and later because of the interests of the country, he was sent to Qin State as a proton.
Fan Yu loved to watch Chu dance, Gongzi Dan let the dancing girl in the house learn Chu dance, Fan Yu loved wine, Gongzi Dan asked people to look for good wine, and after a few years, the two have been friends with each other.
Soon, with the arrival of the wine and dance banquet, the two began to chat casually, all of which were gossip on weekdays, showing their familiarity.
And when he had drunk thirty years, suddenly the servants outside spoke.
"Prince, someone from the palace said that there was a royal order passed to General Fan!"
When the two heard this, they looked at each other in surprise, Fan Yuzhi had not received a summons from the king for three years, and this summons ordered the palace guards to find here, which showed that the matter was urgent.
Because it was an oral message, someone came to report it directly, but the specific matter had to be reported to the king in the palace.
After the palace guards left, Fan Yuzhi's face turned red because of drinking.
His eyes lit up and he looked very excited.
Ji Dan also looked at Fan Yuqi incredulously.
The court's affairs about Zhao Guo can be said to be known to everyone, as Fan Yuqi, no matter how marginalized he is, he can also know that it is impossible for the court to fight for who to send reinforcements, but what he never expected, such a great credit actually fell on his head.
Ji Dan gathered his thoughts, hurriedly raised his wine glass, and said: "Brother, great joy, if my brother leads the troops to capture Handan City this time, it will be half a work to destroy the country, and then he will be included in the court class in one fell swoop and become the humerus of the Qin State." β
Fan Yuzhi squeezed the wine bottle tightly, forced his extremely excited mood, and said: "I am not allowed by Lu Xiang, and I can be allowed to do this, it must be because Gongzi Jiao secretly helps him, otherwise how can I get my turn." β
Gongzi Jiao, Ji Dan, and Fan Yuzhi are all very good, and such a credit as Fan Yuzhi cannot fall on him for no reason, and the one who can influence the king's choice can only be Gongzi Jiao or the Empress Dowager Huayang.
Ji Dan nodded, exhaled, and said, "With Cheng Jiao's secret help, my brother will be able to use this to hold himself high in the court, so that my brother will be envious." β
After Ji Dan finished speaking, his eyes turned unnaturally red.
Fan Yuzhi saw it and asked, "Why is my brother crying?" β
Yan Dan sobbed: "Brother is the general of the Qin State, and now that he has the opportunity, he must definitely become the important minister of the Qin State, although Cheng Jiao is not the prince yet, but it is very likely that he will be the future king of the Qin State, and as your brother, I am just a proton who has no home to return to, I think of it in my heart, I have some feelings, come, brother, we are drinking a bottle." β
As Yan Dan's friend, he naturally knew that what Yan Dan wanted most was to return to Yan Kingdom.
It was only because Yan Guo was afraid of Qin State that he let him come to Qin State to be a proton.
Fan Yuzhi saw Yan Dan's appearance and said: "You don't have to worry so much, when Gongzi Jiao becomes the king, he will definitely think of brotherhood and let you go back to Yan Kingdom." β
Yan Dan nodded and said: "What my brother said is very true, if it weren't for the care of my eldest brother and Cheng Jiao over the years, how would my life be so leisurely, brother Da En, Dan remembered it in my heart, and when I returned to Yan Kingdom, I will definitely repay my brother, even if one day, if my brother continues to be in Qin Buzhi, he can go to Yan Kingdom, and I will let my brother be the secretary!" β
When Fan Yuzhi heard this, his heart was touched, and he said, "Then brother thank you for your kindness." β
Then Fan Yu drank a bottle and got up and left, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly stopped and said: "When I come back from the expedition, I will find a way to promote your wishes. β
After Fan Yuzhi left, Ji Dan, who was originally crying, suddenly suppressed his crying, but looked coldly at the back of Fan Yuzhi leaving.
In fact, he still has a secret that he has not told Cheng Jiao and Fan Yuzhi.
That is, when he was a proton in Zhao State, he was also an excellent friend with the young Zhao Zheng.
But as the prince of a country, how could he not know the relationship between Zhao Zheng and Cheng Jiao, once Cheng Jiao knew about his relationship with Zhao Zheng, Cheng Jiao would definitely not be better than him.
And this time, the general of the Qin State went to the Zhao State, and he could guess that it was not just to save the proton.
When Zhao Zheng returned to Qin, whether Cheng Jiao became the king or Zhao Zheng became the king, he believed that with the friendship between him and the two, he would definitely let him return to China.
As for Fan Yuqi, Zhao Zheng, and Cheng Jiao, for him, it was just a multi-party bet.
β¦β¦
Fan Yuzhi left the Proton Mansion and went directly to the palace.
Because Zichu was seriously ill, Fan Yuzhi did not see Zichu as he wished.
Regarding the matter of sending troops, after the Empress Dowager Huayang and Zi Chu discussed, Zi Chu made a decision, and before falling asleep, he also gave an edict on the appointment of Fan Yuzhi as the commander of the army, and ordered someone to inform LΓΌ Buwei.
In a palace, there are only three people: Fan Yuqi, Empress Dowager Huayang and Cheng Jiao.
Fan Yuzhi immediately said: "The last general, thank you to the Queen Mother, thank you Gongzi for your support." β
The Empress Dowager Huayang was very satisfied when she saw Dao Fan's attitude, "The general doesn't have to be polite, this matter is thanks to Jiao'er's vigorous promotion in front of the king, you two have a lot of personal relationships on weekdays, he helps the general you, and at the same time helps himself, what the old woman said is right?" β
Fan Yuzhi said: "The grace of the son, how dare the last general not remember, for the sake of the son, the last general is willing to go to the soup." β
Gongzi Jiao said with a smile: "The general's words are serious, this time the troops are very important, this Gongzi called you today, in addition to informing you of the good news, there are some things to entrust." β
Fan Yuzhi said: "Please also ask the son to explain!" β
Empress Dowager Huayang and Cheng Jiao glanced at each other, and Cheng Jiao said: "Does the general know how far the front-line war has reached now?" β
Fan Yuzhi ignored his intentions and said: "The last general only knows that the two generals of Su Zheng Wang Ji have already conquered Jinyang, and they will be able to overcome Que and Que in a few days, and now they are increasing their troops, naturally to attack Handan." β
"Yes, but do you know what kind of situation the Zhao Kingdom has reached now? Can Su Zheng have the confidence to attack Handan? β
"This ...... The last general only heard about it, and heard that Zhao Guoxia fell for General Su's plan, and the people's hearts were cholera. β
Cheng Jiao said: "It's not just the cholera of the people's hearts, Li Mu of Zhao State was blocked by Su Zheng to prevent him from going south in Yanmen County, Lian Po was expelled to Daliang because of the divisive plan, and the entire Handan City military and civilians were centrifuged, Zhao Wangdan was already angry and difficult to govern, and the entire Zhao State had reached an extremely dangerous situation. β
Fan Yuzhi only learned the specific things at this time, and he was even more frightened, he couldn't imagine that so many things had happened in Zhao Guo.
At the beginning, Su Zheng had insight into the flying snow in June, and after it was transmitted back to Xianyang, he sighed at his talent through heaven and earth, and he also felt that Su Zheng had no foundation like him, but he could be relied on by the king.
Now that I have listened to Cheng Jiao's words, I feel that the same general is too far apart.
Seeing Fan Yuzhi's expression change, Cheng Jiao continued: "General Fan, you have been a general for many years, and you have even sent troops to attack South Korea to establish great achievements, my son asks you, if you come to command, can you conquer the current Handan City?" β
When Fan Yuzhi heard this, he was shocked, what did Cheng Jiao mean, did he let him directly send troops to attack Handan? Is this what the king meant?
Fan Yuzhi thought for a while, and said: "Handan was not overridden back then, not the benefit of Handan City, but the benefit of the Zhao people, if the army and people in the city are centrifuged, and the king leaves the virtue, then no one is harmonious, and no one is harmonious, and if Lian Po Li Mu is not in Handan, in this case, not to mention the last general, as long as he has a little ability, he can make this great achievement." β
Fan Yuqi didn't dare to underestimate Handan, this is something that Wu Anjun didn't do back then, but today's Handan is no longer the Handan of the year.
Cheng Jiao said: "Since General Fan said so, my son is willing to help you again, and let you personally lead the troops to attack Handan, instead of being the deputy general of Su Zheng." β
"What...... But that's not what the king meant. "Privately transfer troops and avoid the boss, this is a big taboo, you have to cut off your head.
"The general doesn't need to worry too much, this is the king's edict, can you see it?"
Afterwards, Cheng Jiao took out an object and handed it to Fan Yuzhi.
Fan Yu opened it and saw that it was written: "The edict of the widow, the order of Fan Yu, with the tiger talisman, sent 150,000 troops to Zhao Land!" β
