Chapter 176: Li Si's Hind Hand
On another battlefield
Wu Xinjun Xiang Liang defeated Zhang Han's army in Dong'e, so he led his troops westward, and when he reached Dingtao, he defeated the Qin army again!
Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army in Yongqiu again, and also killed Li You, the commander of Sanchuan County!
At this moment, the unlucky Cao Shen is only a military marquis in the border army of Shangjun, and Liu Ji is even more unarmed.
As a result, the reason that should have been killed by Cao Shen ended up cheapening Xiang Yu!
In Xianyang City, a white cloth was hung in Li Si's mansion and a mourning hall was set up.
Outside the mansion, many officials who had come to mourn had gathered.
After Li Si pretended to be sick, although he no longer had real power, he only knew that there was a Prime Minister Zhao Cheng in the court.
But Li Si has been an official in Daqin for many years, after all, he is the left prime minister of Daqin, and there are still many protΓ©gΓ©s and old friends.
However, at this moment, the gate of the Li Mansion was closed, and all these people who came to mourn were turned away.
The servants and maids were busy with their heads down, and everyone did not dare to come out, and they did not even dare to make a sound when they came out.
Li Si stood in front of the mourning hall, looking at the coffin that only contained the clothes of the eldest son, and his old face was full of sadness.
The second son, Li Zhan, stepped forward and comforted in a low voice: "Father, you go back to the room to rest first, big brother is here, I will watch it." β
After all, Li Si is already in his seventies, and his body will not be able to bear it if he stands for a long time.
Although this Prime Minister Zuo no longer cares about the affairs of the court, his prestige is still there, and he is the anchor of the Li family.
Now that the eldest brother Li You has died, if this old father falls ill again, the Li family may be worried!
Lees shook his head and didn't agree to play it back.
However, when he was older, he couldn't stand for a long time after all, so he sat down with the support of his second son.
Looking at the coffin with cloudy eyes, the old face could not hide the sadness.
Losing a child in old age is the greatest sorrow.
The one who died in battle was still the eldest son who was pinned on the family's hopes, and for a while, I couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in my heart.
Relying on the power in his hands, he pushed his eldest son to the high position of Sanchuan County Guard, and he can be regarded as a feudal official.
Who would have thought that he would be killed by a group of anti-thieves!
Li Zhan helped his father sit down and handed over a cup of tea.
When his eyes turned to the eldest brother's mourning hall, there was resentment in his eyes.
Gritted his teeth and said: "It's all Zhang Han, if it weren't for him, the eldest brother wouldn't have died!" β
Li Si's face was gloomy, and his old face was also full of anger.
If it was in the past, I am afraid that the second son would have been scolded for his caution a long time ago.
But the death of his eldest son made him very angry, and he was also holding back resentment in his heart!
Zhang Han won many battles after being ordered in danger, and was named a general, commanding the soldiers and horses of the Great Qin.
Sanchuan County guards Li You, and he must also listen to his orders.
However, Zhang Han was born in a Shaofu, so he naturally looked unhappy with a famous general like Li You.
In the original trajectory, Wang Li was born in a family of generals, and Zhang Han, who rose in danger, did not deal with each other.
As a result, he was pitted.
Not only was he captured by Xiang Yu, but even the 200,000 border troops led by him were all wiped out!
Now that Wang Li has returned to Fusu, he will not repeat the mistakes of the past with the 300,000 troops of Shangjun.
Without Wang Li, the unlucky Li You became a backup object.
Li You was used as bait and died on the battlefield.
And Zhang Han led the army to take the opportunity to attack the city and plunder the land, and the successes were repeated, causing Zhao to ask for help everywhere.
In the end, Zhang Han won a big victory, and Li You was killed!
It really confirms the old saying: one will make ten thousand bones dry!
Those who die can only be considered unlucky.
"Father, you want to get justice for your eldest brother!" Li Zhan gritted his teeth and whispered.
Li Si's old brows furrowed, and he sighed helplessly: "Alas, Zhang Han has a heavy army, even Zhao Gao doesn't dare to move him easily, let alone a father who has been set aside......." β
Under the successive big victories, even the anti-king Chen Sheng was defeated and fled.
Zhang Han's prestige in the army has reached its peak!
Even Zhao Gao, who pushed him to a high position at the beginning, did not dare to easily seize his military power, for fear of attracting backlash.
Zhang Han was made a general, and the soldiers and horses in the interior of Great Qin were all in his hands.
If it really annoys him and counterattacks Xianyang, it will be a bad dish!
Even if he didn't attack Xianyang and the mercenaries stood on their own, it would push Daqin to a dead end.
Therefore, he had to listen to Li Si's suggestion and transferred 150,000 people from the opposing army, in order to control Zhang Han.
Let Zhang Han know that Daqin is not the only one with him!
If it was Li Si, who was previously in a high position, if he wanted to pinch Zhang Han to death, it would be as simple as pinching an ant to death.
Now, I have a weak heart.......
Li Zhan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Father, is it true that the eldest brother died in vain?" β
Li Si's wrinkled eyes narrowed, and his gaze swept over the mourning hall.
muttered to himself: "Although the old man no longer asks about the court, his son can't die in vain!" β
He asked in a deep voice, "What happened to the ranger disciples you summoned?" β
Li Zhan subconsciously glanced outside the door, lowered his voice and said, "More than 2,000 people have been recruited!" β
"Hmm."
Li Si snorted in his nose and nodded slightly.
Gritted his teeth and whispered: "Hurry up and recruit again, and you must recruit another thousand people within seven days!" β
Li Zhan's expression froze, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Recruit a thousand in seven days?" Such a large-scale solicitation is afraid that it will attract ....... β
Ranger, an existence that was banned after the unification of Great Qin.
These so-called rangers are brave and ruthless, and they are recruited as guests by some forces, which is a factor of instability.
Therefore, after the unification of Great Qin, they were all banned, and even Liu Ji had to return to Pei County.
Li Si, as the prime minister of Zuo, hated the rangers.
But now, he has begun to secretly recruit the rangers at the door to act as doormen, in order to make a big deal!
After Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, Li Si's authority was robbed, and his power in the court was sharply reduced and decayed.
This is absolutely intolerable for an old bureaucrat who regards power as his life!
Otherwise, he would not have been in cahoots with Zhao Gao at the beginning, and Jiao Zhao pushed Hu Hai, the youngest son of the first emperor, to the throne.
Because he clearly knew that once Fusu succeeded to the throne, he would inevitably reuse Confucianism.
And Li Si, as a representative of Legalism, will completely withdraw from the stage of history!
Unfortunately, it backfired.
Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, but he not only failed to consolidate his position in the court, but was robbed of power by a eunuch of Zhao Gao.
How could it be willing.
Therefore, I secretly communicated with the Shangjun in private, seeking a way back.
Now, the death of the eldest son, even if he can no longer stay in the court, he must avenge the eldest son!
From the day he proposed to transfer the army to the county border, he had been secretly preparing.
Fusu has Li Jing, the commander of the three armies, and Meng Tian, a generation of famous generals.
With the assistance of these people, it is impossible not to understand his hints, let alone let go of this opportunity to send troops.
In order to earn performance, he secretly recruited rangers to maximize his benefits!
Li Zhan glanced at the cold mourning hall and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, father, the child will do it!" β
Li Si looked at the back of his second son leaving, slowly closed his eyes, and quietly waited for the moment when the storm came!
β¦β¦
At the same time, white cloth was also hung in the camp of the Chu army!
