Chapter Seventy-Five: Yunhou Returns

Lü Buwei has been feeling refreshed recently, and everything seems to be going smoothly. From being named the middle father, to introducing Zheng Guo to Zhao Ji. By building a large canal through Weishui, he grasped the power that was unmatched in the previous Xiangbang.

What's more, he swallowed the 5,000 gold of Nei Shi Teng last time, and it is to grasp politics and economy with both hands, and both hands must be hard.

"Middle Father, Yun Yue is back." As soon as he stepped into the study, Mao Jiao hurriedly walked in and said.

"Oh, what did he come back for? When did you come back? Lu Buwei was stunned, and the old army leaders left, and Yun Yue also left. Xianyang City has the final say, and he is used to the days when one person is in charge. It's really a little uncomfortable to come back and make trouble with yourself.

"Hangu Pass, which I passed three days ago, will arrive in one or two days according to the itinerary."

"If he does this in accordance with the law, can he be punished for any crime?" Lu Buwei didn't know much about the Great Qin military system, and he thought in his heart that if he could use this excuse to erase Yun Yue's credit this time, it would be a good way. Thinking about Yun Yue's arrogance after his victory, Lu Buwei had a stomachache, and he would be happy to do anything that could block Yun Yue.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, the edict given to Yunhou is to defeat the rebels. Now Yunhou not only defeated the rebels, but also recaptured Hangu Pass to help Duke Qi take the three eastern counties. Logically speaking, it is also reasonable for him to return to Xianyang to restore his life.

However, Yun Yue was in such a hurry, and only galloped back to Xianyang with hundreds of cavalry, but it was for this matter. After Mao Jiao finished speaking, he handed Lu Buwei a piece of brocade silk. Lu Buwei unfolded, and after reading a few lines, he was so happy that he almost fainted.

"The Huns attacked Pingliang, and there is such a good thing? I know that Yun Yue, this kid, has been too smooth in the past few years. He should be made to suffer. Unexpectedly, the Huns helped us do it. Lü Buwei was about to dance, so he almost asked what the Huns needed for our support.

"This is Yun Yue's request for the imperial court to send troops. and support the letter of the salary. Mao Jiao took out another piece of paper, this thick kraft paper is produced by the Yun family. The advantage of this thing over bamboo slips is that it cannot be altered at will. Although the ink of the Warring States period has been improved, it is still possible to erase the handwriting on the bamboo slips with a special potion. Yunjia's kraft paper has both anti-counterfeiting functions. Now that the palace has begun to quietly become popular, only Lü Buwei continues to use expensive brocade silk.

"Sending troops? The fight in the three eastern counties is in full swing, where are the soldiers. Wang Ling is a lieutenant. I'll pass it on to him. As for supplies! "Lü Buwei is in charge of civil affairs and armaments, and he is in charge of the deployment of materials. At this time, it is natural to add a little blockage to Yun Yue.

"Great Qin is using troops externally. It is also necessary to dig the Zhengguo Canal. Supplies are tight, there is nothing for him. By the way, has the supply grain for Pingliang been shipped in winter? ”

Pingliang, as an important military town in the northwest, used to be supported by the imperial court. Now symbolically send to Yun Yue's 8,000 soldiers. Although Lü Buwei has been deducted several times. But the bread for these 8,000 people will still be given.

"It will be shipped in the next two days, a total of one hundred and thirty carts of grain and ordnance, as well as Yunhou's special mustache." Lü Buwei now handed over almost all the official documents to Mao Jiao. Mao Jiao has an excellent memory, and he can open his mouth to come to these trivial things.

"The northwest has changed greatly, and it is not appropriate to send supplies at this time. Press it, hurry that kid, if you don't have your own appearance, you can't transport a grain to Pingliang. It seems that Na Yunyue can't sit still in the three eastern counties, and actually left the brigade and rode back to Xianyang. It's a strange thing. The military newspaper of the imperial court could not catch up with his news. The people we sent to Pingliang all eat dry rice? ”

The military newspaper said that the Huns came up in a hurry and besieged the city. No one can get out of town. The military newspaper said that a large force of Hun cavalry was also found, and then it was learned that Pingliang was surrounded. ”

"This matter will be reported to the king in a day, and I will send it to the king without looking for a hurry. The king is young, don't be tired. ”

"No!"

At this time, Jing Er was in Gongsun Long's small courtyard, and there were withered yellow leaves everywhere. When the autumn wind rises, the yellow leaves are all over the sky.

"Mr. didn't let people clean up these yellow leaves, I didn't expect it to be so beautiful. In Xianyang Palace, it can also be regarded as a scenery. Jing Er stood in the pavilion and watched the scenery of the yellow leaves in the sky with Gongsun Long. These days, the more you come into contact with Gongsun Long. The more I feel that this person is in the depths of the city, it has reached a terrifying point. Fortunately, he himself swore a poisonous oath not to leave this courtyard for the rest of his life. Jing Er is very satisfied with this way of self-imprisonment, and he keeps rewarding beauties. It seems that it won't be long before Gongsun Long's small yard will be expanded.

"Every year withers and prospers, everything in heaven and earth has its own laws. It's like a king, who was born to crisscross the pastures of the six countries for 90,000 miles and serve the people of the world. This is a fate given by God, and no one can escape it. Gongsun Longzhi is just a grasshopper, and it is rare to be able to attach it to the feet of the king and enjoy a lifetime of peace and glory. ”

"A good pasture land of 90,000 miles to serve the people of the world, and the eldest husband is just like this." Jing Er listened to Gongsun Long's words, and was so excited that he almost swayed. The young man's blood made Jing Er's head a little feverish.

A small chamberlain quietly walked over and whispered a few words to Qiandu, who was serving behind him. Qiandu waved his hand, and Xiao Nei bowed and retreated.

"Great King, Yunhou has already passed the Hangu Pass and only brought hundreds of horses. Extrapolating the itinerary, it will be in Xianyang in the next two days. ”

"Oh, it seems that he also knows the news of Pingliang. It's been more than twenty days, and it seems a little late. Jing Er was a little surprised by Yun Yue's sluggishness, but judging from his light riding meeting Xianyang, it didn't seem like a fake.

Before Gongsun Long could answer, the little chamberlain had just gone and returned. muttered a few more words in Qiandu's ear, and Jing Er frowned. Qiandu hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Your lord, the Huns have retreated." Wei Fang and Li Si sealed the city gates, and the news is only now coming through. ”

"Withdrawn? Really let Mr. Gongsun say it right, the Huns are only not enough. Jing Er said admiringly. Since Gongsun Long lived in this small courtyard, what he said has not gone wrong.

"The barbarians of the steppe, the courage is commendable, and the wisdom is insufficient. Even if they are given unparalleled weapons, it is difficult to achieve great things without the assistance of people who can make good decisions. Since Yunhou has returned to Xianyang, the king must give face to what he said. Let it be known that the king speaks to him.

These days, Yunyue has not stopped sending things to Jiaofang Hall and Gaoquan Palace, presumably at this time, the Empress Xiaohou and the Queen Mother also support him. The king doesn't have to be a villain at this time, just wait and see what happens. Qiandu, tell the king about what you told you some time ago. ”

"No!" Qiandu bowed and said: "Some time ago, Chang Yu presented a brocade robe to the Queen Mother, which is very luxurious. The queen mother was very satisfied, and the slave maid inquired and learned that the brocade robe was ...... given by Yunhou! ”

"Huh? Is that the person that Lü Buwei sent into the palace? He is from the Prime Minister's Mansion, why would he speak for Yunhou? Do you say ......"

"The slave maid used the Yun family's internal response, and found out that Chang Yu had actually secretly attached to Yun Hou. Many secrets in Lü Buwei's mansion were passed on by Chang Yu. I think Chang Yu has already entered the palace and served the queen mother...... Belch...... Satisfied...... Only then did he openly help Yunhou do things. When Qiandu talked about the relationship between Zhao Ji and Chang Yu, he paused several times. After observing Jing Er's expression, he dared to continue.

"Hah! Lu Buwei prides himself on being shrewd, but he didn't expect that he was buried and didn't know it. What does Mr. Gongsun think about this? ”

"Chang Yu is definitely not a person who has taken refuge in Yunhou, he must have his own henchmen. Either way, he's just an insignificant little guy. took refuge in Yunhou, first, Lu Buwei acted unfairly, and he became angry. The second is to leave a way back for yourself.

Such a person at both ends of the rat is a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother. The king can be co-opted, the king is the lord of Daqin, and sooner or later he will be in power. Chang Yu will not be unaware of the benefits of being appreciated by the king, as long as the king is gracious and powerful, he will definitely be able to subdue this person. ”

"Oh! Lone wants to subdue this rat? Jing Er obviously looked down on a guy like Chang Yu.

"Hahaha! The king is the lord of this land, and he wants to herd tigers and wolves like Yunyue and Lu Buwei, as well as these city foxes and rats. Since everything in the world is going to be trended by the king, why should you care about this rat generation?

Moreover, the rats still have the role of the rats, and Meng Weijun was able to get out of Xianyang by collecting the dog thieves, so that the roosters could pass through Hangu safely. The king's acceptance of this concubine is also very useful, not only can please the queen mother. There may also be some windfalls, such as letting Yunhou know what we let him know. ”

In the Gaoquan Palace, Empress Xiao was looking through a shiny glass bottle. The bottle is filled with an amber liquid and is a good thing at first glance. Sealing the mouth of the bottle is a cork with strange threads that cannot be pulled off.

Qin Qing smiled lightly and took it. After a few twists, he unscrewed the bottle, and suddenly a rich jasmine fragrance came out of it.

"This is specially dedicated to the filial piety queen by Yunhou! This thing has soap horns inside, and it is slippery and greasy to use in the bath. After washing the whole body, it is the fragrance of jasmine, Qing'er tried it for a while, and there was no discomfort, so it was given to you after filial piety. ”

"No wonder you've been so fragrant lately, so you used this thing. Put it away, and prepare hot water to mourn the house. It's rare that this kid still knows that if he thinks about mourning his family, he will be a man if he fights well. Such talents are really rare! I really don't know what to reward him. Empress Xiao glanced at Qin Qing ambiguously, there is no impermeable wall in this world. Regarding the matter of Qin Qing and Yun Yue, the filial piety queen naturally has rumors.

"Yunhou is on his way back to Xianyang, and he has already passed Hangu Pass. In the last day or two, I will go to Xianyang. ”

"Oh, what did he come back for? Is the matter of the East Three Counties over? ”

"Pingliang was besieged by the Huns, and Yunhou came to ask the court for reinforcements."

"What?"

PS: It's too late to have something at home, and I'm sorry to wait for a long time. (To be continued.) )
