Chapter 36 Conspiracy
Although there are not many women on the stage of power, they are not absent in the Qin State.
The concept of male superiority and inferiority of women in the Qin State is not as strong as in the Central Plains, in the former Warring States Seven Heroes, Qin and Zhao have a common ancestor, and the two surnames of Win Zhao have a long history, and they have a deep relationship with the Western Barbarians, which also makes Qin and Zhao not have much interest in the Confucian culture of the East.
As far as the history of the Qin State is concerned, whether it is the previous Queen Mother or the Queen Mother Xuan, the style is very open and bold, not to mention Zhao Ji, the mother of the first emperor.
Therefore, when Ying Yushu appeared at the secret gathering as the head of the Li family, Fan Jia, Guan Yue and others quickly accepted it calmly, except for the surprise they showed at the beginning. As for Chen Di, he had already seen the methods of this eldest princess of Great Qin, and he was prepared in his heart early.
Ying Yushu was born soft and weak, with a sharp melon seed face, and her eyes were a little big, and her appearance made people feel a sense of protection at first glance, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like a decisive woman.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Yushu sent you here today for one thing. Since August last year, the Xianyang Imperial Court sent Chen Zongzheng and Wang Yushi to Xingyang to thoroughly investigate my husband's Jun, that is, the Sanchuan County Shou Li You's collaborator with the enemy, but after several months of investigation there has been no result. ”
Ying Yuse's voice was soft, with a taste of grievance, dressed in plain clothes, without powder, and the noble status of the princess, in the eyes of everyone, she was even more pity.
"Ahem, what the princess said is very true. According to what Di saw, Li Jun's defense of the enemy was nothing more than rumors and slander, and it should not be true. After returning to Xianyang, he reported to the emperor according to the truth. ”
Chen Di blushed, coughed lightly, and was the first to respond, which was also the condition for him to talk to Ying Yushu before. Just now, Ying Yushu's words were very peaceful, as if she was narrating a matter that had nothing to do with her, but it was impossible to say that she didn't have the slightest sense of blame in her heart. At least, Chen Di, as one of the envoys, did not raise any objections to Wang Ming's ultra viress behavior.
"What Zongzheng said is exactly what we want. Xingyang was surrounded by the enemy before, and it was Li Junshou who led the troops to defend for several months, and Fang Shi insisted until the arrival of the general. If you want to say that Li Junshou is in communication with the enemy, how can this start. Now, outside Xingyang City, tens of thousands of rebels are coming, but I don't know what kind of strategy Zhao Junwei has to retreat from the enemy. Xingyang Ling Fan Jia patted the hem of his robe, glanced in the direction of the county governor's mansion with disdain, and said sarcastically.
These days, Fan Jia, the Xingyang Ling, is fed up with Zhao Ben's bad temper, in terms of military affairs, Zhao Ben can barely be regarded as understanding, and in terms of political affairs, he is simply a layman, but the layman still has to point fingers, issue opinions indiscriminately, and it is not okay not to listen, which makes Fan Jia hold back the fire in his heart.
Guan Yue has been watching these people coldly, and when he heard Fan Jia's complaints, he smiled coldly: "The county lieutenant just gave an order yesterday, the men in the city, regardless of age or age, will go to the city wall tomorrow to guard, in addition, more than 1,000 healthy women will be levied to transport wood, stones, dung and other materials, if there is a shortage, the house will be demolished to replace it." ”
Gong Cao is in charge of civil affairs, and if Zhao Ben wants to do these things, he can't do it. Although Guan Yue is the person promoted by Yang Xiong, but to deal with this kind of official oil, Zhao Ben takes it for granted that as long as Guan Yue is given benefits, he is not afraid that Guan Yue will not work hard for him.
"What, Zhao Ben came up with such a good idea, it's really amazing." Chen Di was so angry that he almost turned his back on him, even if he didn't know anything about military affairs, he knew that Zhao Ben's idea was really rotten. If the common people can fight if they are dragged up to the city, then what can the army do? What's more, Zhao Ben's arrival is bound to make the situation in the city even more chaotic, and the people in Xingyang City are not all interested in the Qin State.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhao Ben and Wang Ming have nearly half of the army in the city, and if we want to protect ourselves, we must defeat Zhao Ben, so we must unite-." Ying Yushu's guidance made all parties at the meeting complain about Zhao Ben.
Fan Jia stomped his foot hatefully: "Hmph, Zhao Ben is going to die, let him die alone, at most let that Wang Ming Lao'er be buried with him, I'm in a hurry, I'm not a vegetarian." ”
Ying Yushu nodded, Fan Jia has been in Xingyang for many years, and he has a wide range of contacts, and many of the soldiers who defend the city are some jailers and pawns under the county order, Fan Jia agreed, and these soldiers can be won into the anti-Zhao camp.
"Princess, Chen doesn't have any other abilities, but I can take care of Zhao Ben and Wang Ming to ensure that they have no time to take care of anything else these days." Chen Di looked solemn, as one of the two envoys of the imperial court, his attitude has always been unclear, and now that he has decided to stand on Ying Yushu's side, he has decided to teach Wang Ming and Zhao Ben a lesson.
"Guan Gongcao, Hou Sima, I'll introduce you to someone. After meeting her, I think you will have a clear attitude. Seeing that Guan Yue and Hou Xi were slow to express their attitude, Ying Yushu was not surprised, clapped his hands, and saw two people coming in outside.
The first one, only sixteen or seventeen years old, was a little servant dressed as a servant, short and sturdy, with thick eyebrows and big eyes; Behind him was a young and heroic officer of the Qin army wearing a plate hat and a long sword at his waist.
"It's you, Gu-!" Guan Yue looked at it fixedly, and almost blurted out in shock. Gu Yunniang, the top brand of the Peony Building, even if she changed into men's clothes, Guan Yue really saw it.
"The last general, Gu Yun, see the envoys. This time, the last general was ordered by General Li Yuanli, the captain of Mikawa, to enter the city to discuss the plan with the envoy. Qin Army Officer Lang laughed and said with a military salute.
"Gu, General Gu Yun, it's really a blessing, Li Yuanguan knows, but he is only a captain, when was he promoted to lieutenant? I don't know where Yang Xiong and Yang Junshou are? Guan Yue asked in surprise. With the same expression as him, there were Fan Jia and Chen Di, and as for Hou Xi, he was surprised.
The situation of the Battle of White Horse, when it reached Xingyang City, the news was mixed, some said that the Qin army was completely annihilated, some said that Yang Xiong was killed, and some said that the Qin army broke through, most of these news were spread by Liu Bang, the purpose was to cause panic in Xingyang, so that the next siege Jihua.
Gu Yun smiled: "In the Battle of the White Horse, General Li led the soldiers to defeat the enemy Huangxin, Fu Kuan and other rebels in a row when Yang Junshou was seriously wounded, and killed dozens of enemy generals, so that the rebels retreated. In addition, General Li Yuan had just been appointed by Yang County Shou as the captain of Sanchuan County to control the soldiers in the county. ”
Gu Yun's words were more or less exaggerated, Li Yuan's record was really not bad, and he also killed several enemy generals, but when it came to making Liu Bangjun frightened, it was too exaggerated, however, Guan Yue and the others were shocked by the news she brought, and no one paid attention to how much water she said for a while.
"Ladies and gentlemen, General Li is now outside the city, and I would like to welcome General Li into the city to resist Zhao Ben and Wang Ming." Seeing that everyone had been shocked, Ying Yushu hesitated and thought for a while, and then threw out her long-planned strategy.
Li Yuan, it's finally time to meet.
I don't know if you still remember that little bit of friendship in the past!
