Chapter 178: Fish and Meat
Changping Jun's footsteps were eager, ignoring the etiquette of the past, and entered the courtyard where Zhao Shuang was being held, and asked directly.
"Where is Zhao Shuang?"
"Hanyang-kun is drinking tea in the backyard!"
After learning the answer from the guards, Changping Jun came to Zhao Shuang's face, and the eagerness just now was completely gone, and he didn't listen to Zhao Shuang's greeting, so he sat in front of him.
Recently, a rumor began to circulate in Guanzhong, saying that the current King of Qin was born to LΓΌ Buwei and Zhao Ji, not the heir of the royal family.
This rumor seemed to have sprung up overnight, like mushrooms after a rain, and it was scattered across the land of Guanzhong, and the source could not be found at all.
The words were boiling, and this terrifying wave swept through the entire Qin State, and the power behind it was enough to destroy everything in front of it.
And all this, just as Zhao Shuang said that day.
"Changping Jun is so anxious, regardless of the gentleman's manners, but for the rumor in Guanzhong recently?"
Zhao Shuang took water from the steaming iron kettle and poured a cup of tea for Changpingjun.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Benjun is also puzzled!" Zhao Shuang nodded thoughtfully, "Who is most beneficial to splash dirty water on the king like this?" β
Looking at the fragrant tea in front of him, Changping Jun didn't think about it at all.
"The high one is suspicious, and everyone will look at Cheng Chan, wondering if he has the intention of rebellion? But what good is it for him to rebel at this time? β
Cheng Chan has no prestige in the army, and with the soldiers and civilians in his own territory, he can gather at most 10,000 or 20,000 private soldiers, and this force is simply not enough to rebel.
Even if you add the supporters around him and start up in a hurry, there is only one way to defeat.
"Cheng Chan himself thinks aside, once the rumors continue to expand and the people's hearts are shaken, then everyone in the court will think that he has the heart of rebellion. So, what he thinks, in fact, it doesn't matter anymore. β
Zhao Shuang picked up the teacup unhurriedly, blew a breath, and said slowly.
Changping Jun narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Shuang, with murderous intent hidden in his eyes.
"This is what you and LΓΌ Buwei are up to?"
"Then Changpingjun thinks too highly of me, how can he make such a big noise when he is in prison?"
Zhao Shuang drank the tea in the cup and shook his head slightly.
"Those who are fueling the flames think that this rumor is beneficial to them. Or there are those who want to kill the toad, or those who want to make contributions from the dragon, or those who want to make great contributions to the Qin State, or those who want to make meritorious contributions. β
Zhao Shuang sighed leisurely, looking very calm and relaxed at the moment.
"Heaven and things are angry, and people are wrong. Changping Jun wants to stop, how can he stop? β
Changping Jun looked at the jade-like man in front of him, although he was imprisoned, he seemed to be transcendent.
"So, you deliberately let Cheng Chan discover the flaw, just to get out of this chaos, and everything after that has nothing to do with you?"
Zhao Shuang smiled, his smile was very sincere. Under the sun, this warm smile was even gentler, but Changpingjun was full of chills in his heart at this moment.
"Sinners in chains have nothing to do with all this. All this is just the beginning, what matters is how to choose the people in this game? Changping Jun, don't forget, Fan Yuzhi is also in the Cheng Chan army! β
In today's situation, Zhao Shuang is indeed in the most favorable situation. And he is completely different, once there is a problem on Cheng Chan's side, he is the one who is the most inseparable.
is silent, but it puts him in the middle of death, and the person behind the layout is vicious, and his heart is as deep as an abyss.
Changping Jun clenched his hands and said secretly in his heart.
LΓΌ Buwei!
Changpingjun stood up and wanted to leave, but his body suddenly stopped and looked at Zhao Shuang.
"That's not right!"
Changping Jun had vague thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't put them together, he could only speak.
"You're just doing it to make people think it's none of your business."
Want to build a gong from the dragon?
Cheng Chan didn't like Zhao Shuang at all, he didn't have this opportunity.
If you want to kill Cheng Chan or the chaos of the Qin Kingdom, what good will it do to Han Yangjun? If the Qin State was in chaos, the Shandong States would take the opportunity to invade westward, and the Chu army would enter Nanyang, and Zhao Shuang's territory would bear the brunt.
As for his achievements, he was trapped here by himself, and it was difficult to break free for a while. How to make a contribution? How to start a business?
Zhao Shuang just said four kinds of people, but he is not any of these four kinds of people.
"Changpingjun is too worried, let's think about how to get out, right?"
"In this game, who wins and who loses, it is not yet clear at the moment. Hanyang-kun's words, it's too early! β
Changping Jun went away, and after leaving the backyard, he gave a strict order to the people of Tingwei.
"Send a soldier to guard, without my warrant, no one is allowed to see Hanyangjun!"
"No!"
Walking out of the courtyard, before he got into the carriage, Changping Jun couldn't wait, and commanded his henchmen.
"Send a message to Chang'anjun and ask him to be stable. If you can't, withdraw with the army, be sure to drive lightly, and don't swagger. β
"No!"
.......
"Light car and simple travel, don't be ostentatious?"
In the tent, Cheng Chan looked at the familiar Changpingjun's henchman in front of him and waved his hand.
"Tell Changping-kun that he understands what he means. As long as the army of Zhao is not chaotic, there will be no rumors, and it will not be on the table. β
"Retire next!"
This person was dressed in black, and he didn't dare to stay in the barracks for a long time, so he immediately left after getting Chang'anjun's words.
There were only two people present, Cheng Chan and Fan Yuqi, and as soon as Changping Jun's henchmen left, Cheng Chan stood up with anger on his face.
"LΓΌ Buwei!"
Fan Yuzhi looked at Cheng Chan and said.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry at this moment, otherwise, you will fall for Lu Buwei's poisonous scheme!"
"Benjun understands!"
Cheng Chan looked at Fan Yuzhi and asked.
"But what should Ben-kun do now?"
"The last general thought that he should listen to what Changping Jun said and prepare to withdraw his troops. His Royal Highness drove lightly and returned to Xianyang, and the rumors would definitely be self-defeating. β
Cheng Chan nodded, turned around and looked at the map on the side.
"It's just that at this moment, our army and the Zhao army have been staggered, and it is not so easy to withdraw. Fan Yuzhi, you lead the army to take the first step and prepare to respond. β
"The last general obeys!"
After Fan Yu left, Cheng Yu's face changed, and he commanded the attendants outside the tent.
"Summoning generals Zhang Tang, Qiang Kui, and Yang Li to the big tent to discuss the military situation."
Cheng Chan held his hand, with an unpredictable expression on his face. He could feel that Fan Yuqi and himself were not of the same mind, but on the side of Changpingjun.
"Ben Jun is light and simple, and when he returns to Xianyang, Changping Jun has no involvement, but Ben Jun has become a fish on the chopping board, and he is slaughtered by others."
Cheng Chan clenched his hand, and his bones rattled.
"In this world of great contention, only strength is everything!"
Cheng Chan suddenly looked outside the tent and scolded angrily.
"Who is it?"
The graceful figure came from outside the tent, with a pitiful tenderness in the weakness.
"Your Highness, why are you so angry at such a late hour?"
Seeing the woman in front of him, Cheng Chan's face slowed down.
"Leave the dance, you go and prepare first. The army is about to attack Zhao, and all supplies will be sent to Tunliu. It's inconvenient to keep women in the army, so I'll let someone escort you to stay first. β
"A concubine is a woman, whatever His Highness says, I will do it."
The woman bowed lightly, lowered her head, and was embraced by Cheng Chan. But there was no trace of tenderness on her face, only coldness.
