084 Zhao Gaojin slandered and Guo Dong was demoted

"No! The last general commands! ”

What can Guo Dong say? Naturally, he agreed to the order, not to mention that this is also what he wants, staying in Xianyang is not conducive to his mastery of the army, preparing for the secession of the king after the death of Qin Shi Huang, and the next plot has little to do with Xianyang, the next plot is focused on the conquest of the Huns, the construction of the imperial tomb, the first emperor's eastern tour, the appearance of the elixir, the sand dunes and the dispute between Chu and Han, there is a little story in Xianyang City, but there are not many!

Therefore, not to mention that Qin Shi Huang wanted to send him out, even if Qin Shi Huang didn't do it, Guo Dong planned to let Zhao Gao slander Qin Shi Huang's ears so that he could send himself out of Xianyang.

"Very good, the military situation is urgent, Uncle Guo will go out of the city directly and lead the army to set off! I will order General Meng Yi to respond from the side, and order General Wang Li to hurry up and adjust the border defense, and go to receive the thousands of miles of territory laid down by my uncle! When the time comes, as soon as General Wang Li's soldiers and horses arrive, Uncle Guo should immediately go to take over the burden left by General Wang Li's transfer, and work hard to prepare for Hu! ”

Guo Dong naturally understood what Qin Shi Huang's heart was, so he immediately nodded and turned to leave.

On a rapid march all the way, Guo Dong took 150,000 soldiers and horses who had just left here to kill again, and the three uncles and nephews of the Xiang family (plus Xiang Zhuang), as well as Qin Shi Huang, sent him to scrape the authority of Xiang's uncles and nephews to prevent the descendants of Xiang Yan of the Chu State from having too much military power.

With Xiang Yu's bravery, Xiang Liang's sophistication, Xiang Zhuang's obedience, Zhang Han's steadiness, Guo Dong's soldiers, and the forty special forces of the two squads in the Five Route Army were beheaded and opened the city gate, with the assistance of Meng Yi leading the troops to attack the flank, Guo Dong's army was like a bamboo, just like when it first conquered the thousand-mile territory of Rong Di, it swept over like a typhoon.

When Wang Li led his soldiers and horses to prepare to accept this thousand miles of territory for garrison, he was very surprised to find that in just over a month and less than two months, Guo Dong had already led his troops to kill outside the royal capital of the Xiongnu, expanding the territory of 1,300 miles to a huge size of 3,000 miles, more than doubling!

As a result, the Mengjia army, which was originally to assist in the attack together, had to become a left-behind force in the rear, and garrisoned the territory of the 3,000 miles of Rongdi and the Xiongnu that Guo Dong had defeated, and the dignified elite border army did the business of inferior county soldiers!

And Qin Shi Huang, who got the news, gritted his teeth and withdrew 200,000 people who were building the Great Wall, and sent all of them to act as the people of the 3,000-mile territory, and helped garrison this vast new land!!

How many people were there in a royal city of the Huns? How many soldiers and horses are there?

It can be said that there are a lot, but there is absolutely no Guo Dong who fought all the way, plus the collection of several surrendered Xiongnu and the remnants of Rong Di's army of 250,000 troops.

And how strong is the royal city?

As one of the very few cities of the powerful Huns, and the only one that is still a bit of a city, it can be said that it is a high-walled and thick-walled gate that is well defended, but after hundreds of oversized explosives made of soil explosives prepared by Guo Dong himself, the city gate and a whole section of the city wall were blown up to the sky, the so-called capital was useless at all, and was directly killed by Guo Dong in the middle of the night when the moon was dark and windy. As a gift to Qin Shi Huang, he was personally escorted to Xianyang by Guo Dong.

At this time, Zhao Gao, who had received Guo Dong's secret letter early, still came to Qin Shihuang's side after hesitation and prepared to slander: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know whether to talk about something or not!" ”

"Say it!"

"Your Majesty, Uncle Guo is about to return to Xianyang in the near future, and the minister is a little worried!"

Qin Shi Huang was stunned: "Worried? What are you worried about? ”

"Your Majesty, you also know that the minister and the uncle of the country should have come to make friends quickly, this is something that the minister should not have said, but the minister is dedicated to thinking about His Majesty, so he has to say some things."

first stated his position, and then Zhao Gao said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, do you remember that at the birthday banquet at that time, in fact, before Gao gradually left to assassinate His Majesty, someone tried to assassinate Your Majesty, right?" ”

Qin Shi Huang nodded: "Of course I know, if it wasn't for you, a minion, who found out the information, he guessed that it was poisonous, and almost let those thieves go, and then it was the traitors who tried to murder me that you designed to lead, but unfortunately in the end, I didn't expect that it was actually the queen of Tu'an." Speaking of which, you've done a great job! ”

"How dare you ask for credit for doing things for Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister didn't say that they poisoned me. ”

Qin Shi Huang was stunned, isn't this matter? So what's the other thing? At that time, wasn't it the poisoning of Queen Tu'an and the assassination of Gao Yanli Zhuqin? How can there be a third time?

"Has Your Majesty forgotten? At that time, before Gao gradually left to assassinate His Majesty, someone once sent a secret weapon to His Majesty, and it was Uncle Guo who threw the wine glass in his hand and knocked it off to save His Majesty. ”

Qin Shi Huang remembered after Zhao Gao's reminder.

"Yes, that's the case...... What are you trying to say by this? ”

Zhao Gao stopped massaging Qin Shi Huang's loose bones, turned around and knelt down in front of the desk: "Your Majesty, if the person who threw the secret weapon at you made no mistake, it should be General Tu'an surnamed Jin who ran away before, he doesn't know where to go now, let's not mention it for the time being, just talk about Uncle Guo and General Meng Yimeng and other generals with high skills and martial arts!" ”

"They? What's wrong with them? ”

Qin Shi Huang was even more puzzled, and he didn't know what Zhao Gao wanted to say in such a big circle.

Zhao Gao is also bitter, he doesn't go around in such a big circle, how can he remind Qin Shi Huang of what happened at that time? After all, more than a month has passed since this incident, and so many things have happened recently, this kind of detail Qin Shi Huang has long forgotten!

If he doesn't think of these details, how can he mobilize the suspicion and fear in his heart, and then meet Guo Dong's request to transfer him out of Xianyang?

"Your Majesty, at that time, Uncle Guo's wine glass was extremely powerful, and after flying the hidden weapon, it also directly hit the master on the side, which can be said to be three points into the wood, and it is still there now, and the minister didn't notice it by chance until yesterday, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat at that time."

"Although His Majesty now stipulates that the court is not allowed to bring weapons, but the wine cup can be nailed into the pillar after hitting the hidden weapon, so the jade pendant, the golden order, the copper buckle on the belt and the hairpin on the head, etc., are too many things, in the hands of Uncle Guo and General Meng Yi and others, it may not be impossible to become a murder weapon that can pierce the flesh and blood of people!"

Qin Shi Huang was stunned for a moment, and then a cold sweat broke out behind his back, but then he frowned and said with some doubts: "This ...... Uncle Guo is loyal to himself, Meng Aiqing, Wang Aiqing and others have been my Great Qin for three or more generations, they have always been loyal, and have made countless contributions to my Great Qin, how could they harm me!? ”

That being said, being suspicious by nature and almost arguably the most experienced emperor in history, Qin Shi Huang was already deeply wary of all martial arts masters, including his own generals.

"Your Majesty, you know the relationship between the minister and the uncle, the minister will not frame him, but the minister is dedicated to His Majesty's consideration, so even if he is beaten by the uncle of the country one day, or even if he holds a grudge against the minister and cuts off contact, the minister must be this villain to ensure that His Majesty is foolproof!"

Zhao Gao bowed fiercely as he spoke, and only after expressing his loyalty thousands of times did he continue: "Your Majesty, think about it, Uncle Guo is loyal to you today and will not betray you, but after all, he is a disciple of the Xiang family of Chu State, and he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case." Moreover, if one day even if Uncle Guo did not betray His Majesty, in case he was controlled by someone and used any method to assassinate His Majesty, with his skills, I am afraid that it would be unimaginable at that time! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Gao added: "Not only Uncle Guo, but also other people, after all, no one can guarantee that there are any demons and evil arts in the world, or some strange and mysterious drugs that can control people's behavior and even thinking, and make people involuntarily do something they don't want to do at all!" Therefore, the minister thinks that no matter whether this possibility will occur, it is better to eliminate this danger from the root! ”

Qin Shi Huang's eyes widened, and then he nodded: "Okay!" Spread the decree, in the future, hundreds of officials will go to court, and they must be three zhang away...... Do you think it's far enough? ”

Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Qin Shi Huang to ask him this question, but then he reflected: "Your Majesty, for Chen, three feet is more than enough, but for a master like Uncle Guo and General Meng Yi, even ten zhang is probably insufficient!" Therefore, the minister thinks that such as Uncle Guo or General Meng Yi, who is a strong martial artist, it is best not to appear in the court! ”

This suggestion won Qin Shi Huang's liking, he actually wanted to fight like this, but there was a question: "You can say that it is not unreasonable, but the generals who are ranked in Shangqing, now there are only three people, Uncle Guo, Meng Yi and Wang Li, and no matter who is in Xianyang, the three of them are the first of the hundred military generals in Xianyang, and they are not allowed to go to the court, how is this possible?" ”

Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't expect that Qin Shi Huang's reaction was really all said by Guo Dong, this is really a cold-blooded and ruthless emperor, it seems that it is better than that Hu Hai, although it is a little muddy and can't support the wall, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, but he values love and righteousness, at least he trusts and relies on himself enough, I don't know how many times better than this Qin Shi Huang and that Fusu.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't complain about me like that!

Thinking of this, Zhao Gao said the place that Guo Dong had prepared for himself: "Your Majesty, the army and the Xiongnu fought before, because of the avoidance of a war on two fronts, so the assassination of His Majesty by Queen Tu'an has always been a secret, and no one knows about it at all." When Uncle Guo returns this time, it is better to let Uncle Guo order a holy decree and lead a team of elite soldiers to exterminate Tu'an. First, it can keep Uncle Guo away from the court, and second, the place where Tu'an and Daqin meet, is the section of the frontier where Uncle Guo is tied, and it is very reasonable for Uncle Guo to send troops. ”

"Also, Uncle Guo and Concubine Li's brothers and sisters are commensurate, but it's hard to say whether there is a connection with Tu'an, this time the troops can also test Uncle Guo, and you can use the identity of Uncle Guo, after the pattern is destroyed, you will take Concubine Li back from the cold palace, and let the ministers who know about this matter have nothing to say, it can be said that they can count in one fell swoop!"

"Okay, just do what Aiqing says!"
