Chapter 60: Take the Risk
After several bloody battles, Li Yuan has long since lost his former youthful military marquis.
On his handsome face, a scar slashed from his right ear to his forehead, and the place where the scab had just formed was slightly raised, which made his whole person a little fierce.
Chen Ping, Hou Xi, Guan Yue; Luo Jia, Jiang Yu, five people built the core team around Li Yuan, among these five people, Chen Ping showed his heart early on, and now his relationship with Li Yuan is one glory and one loss, Hou Xi and Luo Jia are the old subordinates who have followed Li Yuan for the longest time, and there is no need to question the loyalty, although Jiang Yu joined Li Yuan's army not long ago, he was quickly promoted by Li Yuan, and his joining represents a large number of new liliang.
In contrast, Guan Yue became a member of the core team, which was a surprise. Guan Yue has been immersed in officialdom for nearly 20 years, no one has ever seen him, and it is the consistent practice of this kind of official oil to not easily express his political position. Previously, Guan Yue successively worked under Li You, Yang Xiong, and Zhao Ben, although he could be regarded as conscientious, he was never a confidant.
This time, after the border army general Su Jiao entered the city, Guan Yue's old partner Fan Jia immediately switched to the border army that seemed to be stronger, in terms of strength, Su Jiao's border army troops were nearly 6,000 people, and most of them were battle-hardened soldiers, plus the peony building hidden in the underground shili, Xingyang City is now the most important liliang This belongs to this army, and the Gongsun aunt who has been involved with Guan Yue is also lobbying Guan Yue for three days and two heads, which makes Guan Yue feel annoyed, and feel that he will be a wall grass again. I'm afraid that I will do nothing for the rest of my life.
Scholar for the death of the knower, although he Guan Fat is not a celebrity, but also know the truth of knowing the grace of the retribution, Li Yuan's performance in the battle of Xingyang is obvious to all, if there is no him, this city has already been captured by Liu Bangjun, and where is the turn to get Su Jiao to be a prestige.
After having a drink with his old boss Yang Xiong, Guan Yue chose to continue to stay under Li Yuan, which is why he was able to participate in such a secret meeting.
Where the lights reflected, the word Xianyang jumped into Chen Ping's eyes like thunder.
"Xianyang? How is this possible? Guan Yue was the first to lose color and exclaimed, his bulging eyes wide. He could hardly believe his eyes, the place where Li Yuan pointed turned out to be the capital of the Qin State: Xianyang.
For Qin officials like Guan Yue, Xianyang was like a sacrosanct palace, and it was impossible for them to return to the center of that empire without the call of the imperial court. Therefore, Li Yuan only relied on a few thousand county soldiers to think about taking Xianyang, which was heavily fortified and regarded as the most impregnable city in the Qin State, isn't it crazy, what is it?
Is Li Yuan crazy?
Of course not, he was annoyed by the continuous meat grinder wars in the Kwantung region, and for the Qin army, none of the birthplaces of the six countries in the Kwantung region was safe.
There are enemies everywhere, I don't know where a rebellious army will emerge, this is the biggest problem faced by the Qin army, the defense of Xingyang, according to the plan of Li Yuan and Chen Ping, Zhang Han, Wang Li, Luo Jia three Qin armies surrounded from different directions, originally very promising to encircle and annihilate Liu Bang's troops of the annihilation battle, but in the end because of Xiang Yu, Han Cheng two anti-Qin Liliang joined, and became a rout.
With the chaos of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, there are fewer and fewer people who have a good impression of Qin in the Kanto area, and if Li Yuanjun wants to be reborn, he must leave Sanchuan County and go to Guanzhong, where the Qin people live.
Time waits for no man.
In a few months, the two armies of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu will enter the hinterland of Qin from Wuguan and Hangu Pass respectively, and at that time, if Li Yuan does not have a strong enough Liliang in his hand to resist, and does not occupy a base area that can be defended and defended, then what awaits him will be the same fate as Wang Li and others: pit killing.
If you don't want to die, you have to take a desperate gamble and take a risk to save your life.
"Guan Gongcao is right, the next place we are going to is Xianyang, our national capital." Li Yuan smiled coldly, his eyes were full of strong awe-inspiring meaning, and his sharp eyes swept over the faces of Chen Ping, Luo Jia, Hou Xi and others one by one.
This battle of Xingyang gave Li Yuan not only strong self-confidence, but also forged an elite army in his hands and harvested Chen Ping's subordinates, but more importantly, let him see the crux of the current crisis of the Qin State, that is, the internal struggle for power and profit, if this problem is not solved, the fall of the Qin State is inevitable.
Since he has an elite army in his hand that can change the situation, Weishenme will not try it, and will go straight to Xianyang, kill Zhao Gao, abolish Hu Hai, and let the source of Qin's internal strife completely disappear.
"The general is advancing westward, if there is no name, then our army may not even be able to enter Hangu Pass? It's better to take the Qingjun side as the name-. Chen Ping was thoughtful, and he was quickly immersed in his role in response to Li Yuan's earth-shattering proposal. Chen Ping is a native of Wei and has no sense of belonging to Qin Guoben, the reason why he defected to Li Yuan was just to take a fancy to Li Yuan's potential, and now, since Li Yuan has the determination to take risks, of course he Chen Ping has to sacrifice his life to accompany him.
Take Xianyang and kill the emperor.
How could such glory fall into the hands of others, no matter what, he, Chen Ping, would definitely participate in this adventurous battle that will go down in history.
"Qingjun's side, Mr. Fei is also-!" Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he almost blurted out a question. These three words on the side of the Qing monarch are recorded in the history books until the rebellion of the Seven Kings during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and now it is only at the end of the Qin Dynasty that Chen Ping has already put it forward, how can it not surprise Li Yuan.
"Ha, the general's thoughts are far-reaching, and I admire him so much. Hu Hai has no way, but for the king, if our army proposes to abolish the establishment, it will not be accepted by the Qin army along the road, and if the banner of killing Zhao Gao is played, then the counties and counties will acquiesce to our passage even if they do not participate! Chen Ping lifted his spirits and Lang Lang analyzed.
"Mr. is too optimistic, don't say anything else, this Hangu Pass is a dangerous pass in the world, guarded by heavy soldiers, if our army plays the banner of the Qing monarch's side, the soldiers guarding the city can open the gate." Guan Yue retorted. Guan Yue, who was originally from Xianyang, also came and went to Hangu Pass several times, and every time he saw this dangerous pass, he had a sense of daunting, and now when he heard Chen Ping so optimistic, he couldn't help but put forward different opinions.
Chen Pingzheng was worried that no one would argue with him, and he couldn't show his ability, so when he heard Guan Yue's question, he immediately replied: "Gong Cao forgot, we still have an important person in prison, if we don't use it, wouldn't it be a pity." ”
"Mr. is talking about Zhao Ben?" It was not easy for Hou to interject, and the content of this secret meeting was too shocking, making him breathless for a long time.
"If it's not this person, who else can there be? Whether our army can detain Hangu Pass or not is on this person. Chen Ping said confidently.
"Zhao Ben, you can also use it, but our top priority now is to compete with the border army Shili first, if you give up the city like this, it will be too cheap for them." While Li Yuan nodded, he motioned to the participants with his eyes to pay attention to confidentiality, and this meeting basically determined the next direction of Li Yuanjun's development, once the secret was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
