Chapter 401: The Love of the Bereaved Ministers

"The reason why Yecheng and other cities can have no fear is because there is a steady stream of grain that can be quietly transported in time. www.biquge.info I would forgive the foreign ministers for being rude, Your Majesty's famous generals and ministers have always gathered in Jingcong, did no one think that in Jizhou, there must be a huge granary, which is doing a hidden strong backup? ”

Gao Yue's expression moved slightly, and he pondered for a moment and said, "What Qing said, it wasn't that no one thought of it before. However, the front line was full of scouts, but the existence of such a granary was never discovered, so after a long time, this hypothesis was rejected. As Qing said, is there really such a hidden and excellent granary in Jizhou? ”

An unfathomable smile faintly appeared on the peach leopard's face. He kept nodding his head: "The granary, of course, there is." However, it is really difficult for the world to think of it. Foreign minister, do you know that Your Majesty knows about Quliang City? ”

Gao Yue was a little dazed, he really hadn't heard of any Qu Liang. Seeing this, Cao Mo, the great Si Nong, hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Your Majesty. This Quliang City is a place within the jurisdiction of Guangping County, Jizhou, Hebei Province, also called Quliangyi, its place is round and narrow, in fact, it is not enough to be called the county seat, and the geographical location is not prominent, so many people are not familiar with this small place. ”

Gao Yue said: "Cao Qing has traveled thousands of miles since the past, and he is willing to measure the world with his feet, so most of the prefectures, counties, counties and townships know about it. If you can explain it like this, it must be true. Could it be that the huge granary of the Zhao State was built in secret at the end of this Quliang City or somewhere nearby? ”

"Is it digging in the ground? It's impossible, the ground is damp, and it's the hardest to store grain! ……”

"If you want me to say, it is estimated that it is a granary that was torn down by tearing down a piece of the city's dwellings and then built with local materials......"

"Quliang City, I have some impressions when I say this, it seems that it is not far from the water, could it be that the Zhao people built the granary on the bank of the water? But why can't the scouts find it? ……”

In the main hall, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads and ears, and they all whispered and speculated and discussed. The peach leopard saw it in its eyes and listened to it in its ears, and its face became more and more colorful, but it kept shaking its head.

"What the princes say is wrong. The foreign minister dared to say a word, and His Majesty only guessed half correctly. The big granary is not hidden near Quliang or somewhere, but," Peach Leopard paused deliberately: "Rather, the entire Quliang City is a granary!" ”

There was an uproar in the hall, and even Gao Yue was quite surprised. I have never heard of those who have opened up a place in the city to be used as a granary, or those who have built a granary outside the city according to the terrain and mountains, and even those who really store grain underground, but I have never seen or heard of a whole city being a granary. Although the city of Quliang is small, it must be relatively speaking, as an ordinary city where the people live and thrive, it may be considered smaller, but if it is specially set aside for grain storage, it is a giant granary with a rare and extremely large scale!

Tao Leopard raised his tone and emphasized: "Quliang has always been a poor and remote town in the past, and its strategic location is not important, in Hebei and even Jizhou, it is almost insignificant, and it will not attract attention at all. However, Quliang is in the northeast of Yecheng and in the southeast of Xiangguo, and from the map, it is almost exactly in the middle of the two major cities, and the distance between them is only two or three hundred miles. Therefore, Shi Hu followed Zhang Jackal's suggestion at the beginning, and during the war, nearly sixty or seventy percent of the military rations were placed in Quliang City, one for concealment, and the other could be deployed and supported in a timely manner and at any time. ”

Gao Yue was puzzled: "If it is really as Taoqing said, such a major and important place should be heavily guarded and heavily guarded, and at first glance, it is different from ordinary cities, and our army scouts are not incompetent, why are they all unaware?" ”

Peach Leopard shook his head and said, "That's the key." From the outside, Quliang City is no different from ordinary cities now, and no one would have thought that such an inconspicuous small town would hide shocking secrets. In fact, there was no more than half of the people in the city for a long time, and all the food was piled up in the houses. And all the inhabitants and even all kinds of pawns and peddlers are actually disguised by army soldiers in order to further strengthen their concealment. In Zhao, only some high-level officials knew about this matter, and many ministers were kept in the dark. The scouts of your army can't see anything unusual, and it's reasonable. ”

Seeing that everyone was full of surprise, and then all eyes were firmly tied to him, he suddenly felt a little smug, and said loudly: "As long as Quliang City is defeated, then Yecheng will only be able to support another three months at most, and it will be in a desperate situation." If Yecheng is lost, it can defeat the fighting spirit and military spirit of the soldiers of Zhao State as quickly and effectively as possible, and I expect that Xiangguo will inevitably be in turmoil and difficult to control, and your army will be able to achieve unexpected results! ”

As he spoke, although the peach leopard was still bowing down, a pair of old eyes that were not faint stared at Gao Yue and said: "The foreign ministers abandon the country and leave, and the Zhao dynasty will inevitably be in turmoil for a while. Even though Shi Hu will take some precautions, it is estimated that he has not thought of coming up to this layer of Quliang in a short time. The foreign minister asked His Majesty to issue an edict immediately, and he must completely take down Qu Liang before he reacts! ”

Gao Yue's mind turned sharply, and his heart was surging, but he maintained a calm appearance on his face. He nodded, and said slowly, "Hmm." Tao Qing's words are very reasonable. However, how to operate specifically, after retreating from the court, I should discuss with the ministers and ministers and other details, and then issue an order to go to the generals of Yecheng as appropriate, and also take into account the actual advice of the front-line commander, I don't want to be so anxious for the next moment. ”

The peach leopard's face did not change color, but his heart was a little sluggish. He naturally understood that even if Gao Yue was known as the Lord of Kuanren and Ming, regardless of various factors, his past identity alone was destined to make it impossible for him to gain the full trust of the Qin court as soon as he came up.

Gao Yue groaned: "Qing offered this plan to take revenge on Shi Hu, and in the end, he is also overthrowing his homeland. Although there are unavoidable reasons for suffering in it, after all, it is against common sense. I want to ask Qing, if I really kill Shi Hu and annex Zhao, what else does Qing want? ”

The peach leopard sighed and sighed, and her mood became obviously low. After a moment, he raised his head and said without pretense: "Since the foreign minister fled out of the country, a hundred and ten people in the family have been brutally tortured and killed by Shi Hu. The foreign minister had a rough and hard life, and he was full of hope that he would be able to enjoy a few years of happiness when he was old, but just to remember the love of my first emperor in the past, he got himself to such a tragic end. The foreign minister has one in sixty this year, and he has not had a few years to live, and now he has no children and half grandchildren. ”

"It's just that I still won't die, or because I can't swallow this breath. The first emperor of the country, some people hate him to the bone, and some people love him like a father, his life achievements are left to future generations to comment, and the foreign ministers have no reason to argue. But I really can't bear to turn my first emperor's lifelong foundation into ashes, and the foreign ministers now have only one request, after the destruction of Shi Hu, please have mercy on Your Majesty, and you can set up Jizhou to restore the Zhao State, and set up the virtuous elders in the Shi clan as the king of Zhao, imitating the example of the Murong clan in Liaodong, so that Zhao Zuo is endless, and can always be the Eastern Domain of Great Qin. In this way, not only Zhao Min is grateful to Dade, but the world should look up to His Majesty as his parents, and it is Su Wu in the south, and he should be both respectful and awe-inspired. ”

The peach leopard fell to his knees, and actually kowtowed to himself: "The foreign minister implores His Majesty to send the gift of the Holy Lord, and he is extraordinarily gracious outside the law. ”

In the past years, the Chu army besieged the Han king in Xingyang, and the Han army became increasingly weak, and the Han king could not sleep at night. The strategist Li Shi said that it was better to restore the descendants of the six countries, so that the people of all countries could feel the virtue and righteousness of the Han king, and all the people would return to their hearts, and then the Chu State would naturally fear the prestige and be willing to surrender. The king of Han was overjoyed and was about to carry it out, but fortunately, Zhang Liang immediately stopped it when he heard the news, and whipped into the analysis to make the king of Han wake up and take back the wrong fate in time.

In Gao Yue's mind, he naturally thought of such a classic record in the history books. Not to mention, after a lot of hard work, it was easy to defeat the opponent, and as a result, instead of rewarding the property and land of the enemy country to the meritorious ministers, but for the sake of inexplicable false fame, and reinstating the descendants of the opponent's clan, so that they can continue to be the king in the same place, it is equivalent to spending countless twists and turns but turning back to the starting point, which is simply incredible.

In addition to this obvious truth, there was another layer that made Gao Yue subconsciously a little annoyed and about to shake his head, but he couldn't help but didn't move, and only looked at Yang Ke. Of course, Yang Ke understood, and even when he stepped out of the train.

This is a fallacy. In the past, Jin Wu destroyed Shu and swallowed Wu, Liu Chan and Sun Hao successively entered Luoyang, and they had the name of An Le Gong and Gui Hou, and to this day, the world still regards Jin Wu's move as a good virtue. But after the death of Shu Wu, Liu Chan and Sun Hao were reinstated as emperors. I Daqin obeyed the mandate of heaven, since I was mixed with the universe, there are no two days, Kyushu is unified, and the shore of the land is not a king's minister, how can there be a reason to go to a Zhao emperor and set up a Zhao king? ”

Peach Leopard was a little unwilling this time, so he wanted to defend himself, Gao Yue cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Xiangguo's words are what I think." This is very inappropriate, and there is no need to discuss it! ”

At first glance, Gao Yue's voice changed and began to turn cold, and the peach leopard couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and felt very sluggish. But I heard Gao Yue say meaningfully: "Since Tao Qing took the initiative to mention it, I will also talk about it." Tao Qing wants to establish the virtuous elder of the Shi clan as King Zhao, hehe, you mean Shi Sheng! ”

With the sound of footsteps, Tang Lei descended the stairs proudly, and under the slightly nervous gaze of the peach leopard, he handed an object to him. Peach Leopard hurriedly took it, but it was a letter, and the first thing that caught his eye was the five big words in the dark: the criminal minister Shi Shengqi.

The peach leopard's eyelids jumped, and sweat began to slowly ooze from his back.
