Xiangbang Province.

Lü Buwei sat in the first place, and a group of Qin generals and staff gathered in front of the case.

In the big battle just now, many of the people present were witnesses.

The maid of Xiangbang Mansion brought the medicinal tea of Ningshen, and Lu Buwei took a sip and closed his eyes.

After Zhao Jun, the chaotic order was restored, and Lü Buwei only got a moment of rest after handling government affairs.

It's just that the feeling of horror in his heart has not subsided.

The four forces of the soldiers, if you talk about factions, are even more complicated.

But if you really want to make a simple distinction, it can be divided into the commander type and the brave type.

The former dispatched troops and sat in the Chinese army; The latter came to the battle in person and fought bravely.

Lü Buwei is the former, but he is not a soldier.

Among the Qin army, the fierce generals are like clouds, and the elite soldiers are like rain. Lü Buwei commanded in the rear, and if he planned properly, he would be invincible.

But for the first time, he felt the might of the soldiers.

The Qin generals present were too!

Zhao Shuang must be eliminated, if he is allowed to return to Zhao State smoothly, then it will be a big disaster for Qin State in the future.

"How is Zhao Shuang?"

Lu Buwei opened his eyes and asked.

"On the orders of Xiangbang, we are full of heavy troops on various roads in Weibei, but there is no trace of Zhao Shuang."

Hearing this, Lu Buwei's brows furrowed.

"All roads in Guanzhong are already full of soldiers and horses of Daqin, Zhao Shuang has a thousand horses, it is so obvious, how can there be no trace of him?"

A huge map unfolded in front of Lü Buwei, marked with detailed military information about Guanzhong.

Lü Buwei walked to the map and searched them one by one.

After Zhao Shuang retired from the army, he crossed the river and went north. If he didn't want to make peace with Pang Xuanjun, he could only go north to Saiwai. ”

When he said this, even Lu Buwei himself was also full of doubts.

"Xiangbang, the outside of the plug is not like Guanzhong, and there is a shortage of supplies. I have heavy troops in Daqin, stationed in various towns. Zhao Shuang wants to travel thousands of miles and return to Zhao Realm, but it is almost impossible. ”

The relationship between the Xiongnu and the Zhao army was even more sinister than that between Qin and Zhao. The city is sparsely populated. Even if you can't win a field battle, you can still hold a bow to guard the pass and shoot with a bow.

It's a dead end.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door, and the guards of the Lu Mansion sent an urgent military information over.

Lu Buwei opened it and looked at it, and the sadness on his face recondensed.

"The defenders near Chongquan came to report and found traces of Zhao Shuangjun. Scouts, they took Huaigu Road. ”

Huai Gu Road?

All the people present were puzzled, what was going on in this Huaigu Road was not depicted on the map, and it was not recorded in the classics they had studied.

"Check it out!"

......

Xianyang Palace.

It was already night, and the lights were burning in the palace.

In front of a pool of clear water, the old man knelt down. On the throne, King Qin took the bamboo slip in his hand and put it down.

"Duke Qi has worked hard and made great achievements, and he has to rectify Xianyang's military affairs. You must be surprised that the widow summons you at night, right? ”

"The king has an order, and the veteran will never give up."

King Qin spread out the bamboo slips on the table, which was an old classic.

"Xiangbang has deployed heavy troops in various provinces of Gaoling, wanting to stop Zhao Shuang and besiege him to death."

"But Zhao Shuang retreated from Huaigu Road, crossed the heavy army of Gaoling, and even just crossed Chongquan."

The Duke raised his head, his face puzzled.

"This..."

"The widow flipped through the classics in the palace and found that this Huaigu Road was ten years after the Yuan Dynasty, and after the crusade against the Yiqu, an old road was built, which has long been abandoned."

"Among my Great Qin, no one knows this way, how does a Zhao general know?"

King Qin's doubts didn't stop there.

"Also, how did Zhao Shuang do it when he forged the order to transfer troops before, deceived all the guards of the pass along the way, and traveled thirty miles near Xianyang?"

"This..."

Duke Qi's face was covered with sweat, but he faced a question from King Qin.

As an old minister of the Four Dynasties, Duke Qi has been reused in the Qin State since King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and has never stood in line with the forces of Lü Buwei, Changping Jun, and Empress Dowager Huayang.

But this time, it's different.

"Duke Qi thinks that the widow shouldn't ask you these two questions?"

"The old minister doesn't dare!"

The Duke lowered his head and bowed.

"Then can the Duke of Qi solve the doubts of the widow?"

"In my Great Qin, there has always been a force that is dissatisfied with Prime Minister Lu's control of the government. This force hides in the shadows, and it is difficult to find a trace. ”

"You mean Changping-kun?"

The previous King of Qin did not show his edge, but at this moment in the palace, his words were like a blade, and his gaze made Duke Qi dare not look directly.

"No, the faction led by Changping Jun from the Chu State is at both ends. And this force is hidden even deeper. ”

"So they colluded with foreign enemies and coalition forces to provide convenience for Zhao Shuang, just to get rid of Lü Buwei after he broke through Xianyang."

"I'm afraid it's more than that!"

The words of the Duke of Qi stopped, and as a minister, he could not speak for the rest of his words.

"In this way, now that things are defeated, they will not allow Zhao Shuang to live any longer."

After a long battle, the battle outside Xianyang City shocked many generals inside and outside Daqin.

The Duke of Qi said slowly and raised his head.

It's just that it seems that this Zhao Shuang seems to have a trick up his sleeve. What makes Lao Chen even more incomprehensible is that this Zhao Shuang seems to know my Great Qin military politics very well, and even knows this old way that even my Great Qin generals don't know much about. ”

"It seems that Zhao Shuang still has a lot of secrets hidden in his body."

.......

"Queen Mother, what's the matter with me in such a hurry?"

"Did you participate in this incident?"

Queen Huayang's eyes were frosty, and her eyes were very cold.

"What's the matter?"

"You're still pretending to be confused with me!"

The Empress Dowager Huayang shouted, and her angry voice was shocking.

Changping Jun was frightened in his heart and gave up.

"The Queen Mother is relieved that the minister did not participate. It's just that there are a few officials from the Chu State who have a good relationship with the ministers, and they are involved in it. ”

"It's reassuring to me!"

The Empress Dowager Huayang was angry, but she heard Changping Jun's words.

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother, Zhao Shuang can't live, and I will deal with those officials."

The Empress Dowager Huayang squinted her eyes and looked at Changping Jun, seeing that he didn't dare to make a move, with coldness in her voice.

"Outside Xianyang City, Zhao Shuang should be dead. But is he dead now? ”

"This ......."

"If Lu Buwei is so easy to deal with, after so many years, it will be your turn to do it. Don't be used as a gun, you don't know yet! ”

.......

"My Great Qin's road seems to have been built for him."

In the Xiangbang Mansion, after Lu Buwei got the information of Huaigu Dao, he said angrily.

After many years of ups and downs in the whirlpool of power, Lü Buwei has been keenly aware of the murderous motive hidden in the shadows.

The generals and staff present were all smart people, and they all heard the sound of Lu Buwei's mouth.

"Xiangbang, looking at Zhao Shuang's marching route, he doesn't seem to want to go to Linjin Pass."

"Now that the coalition forces have retreated to Hedong, Zhao Shuang is afraid that he has expected it a long time ago."

"Along the river, now that Zhao Shuang wants to make peace with the coalition forces, there is only one way to go."

Lu Buwei touched his beard, with a hint of luster in his eyes, and said slowly.

"Longmendu!"

The group of people half-knelt down, and Lu Buwei's eyes looked at Wei Zhuang who was holding a sword beside him.

"Bring this Zhao Shuang back, I want to live."
