Chapter 74: Greedy for merit, Li You fell into a trap

The so-called art of supervision and accountability is to implement a strict supervision and assessment system for officials, and once a problem is discovered, capital punishment will be imposed, so as to punish and warn officials.

The implementation of the art of supervision and accountability did play some role in the rectification of the officialdom of the Qin State, but everything must be opposed, and its strictness has reached the point of overkill, coupled with the uneven quality of the executive personnel at all levels, the abuse of power, unjust, false and wrongful cases and other incidents emerge one after another, and the officials of the Qin State are complaining about the bitterness, so an anti-Li Si force has gradually formed in the DPRK and China.

Zhao Gao saw all this in his eyes and was happy in his heart. Zhao Gao secretly contacted the anti-Li Si officials, and the opposition forces also needed a weighty person to organize and lead them to take down Li Si in one fell swoop.

So the two sides quickly reached a tacit understanding, controlled by Zhao Gao behind the scenes, coordinated and arranged various matters, and prepared to secretly collect the criminal evidence of Li Si and his henchmen, and ensure that they could be caught in one net.

Li Si has been in the court for many years, and has won the trust of the King of Qin, and for a while, the power of the government and the opposition has been tilted, and even LĂź Buwei, who is a very popular minister, has to avoid his edge. Li Si himself was deeply influenced by Legalist thought, and he was still able to fulfill his duties and be honest and honest. However, it is not difficult to investigate the corruption and bribery of his cronies and the fact that they are traitorous and criminal, and as long as they collect conclusive evidence and deal with it a little, they can sit on Li Si's head.

At the same time, the power of the western dog has extended to the area of Sanchuan County. Li You has been temporarily leading the affairs of Sanchuan County since he was the former Sanchuan County Guard, and has been waiting for the appointment of the King of Qin. However, the king of Qin was unhappy in his heart because of this matter, so he deliberately delayed and refused to send the edict.

At this time, the dog Rong came to attack, which just gave Li You a chance, if he could lead his troops to defeat the dog Rong and establish meritorious service, then the king of Qin would have to give him an order. Thinking of this, Li You decided to personally lead the army to fight to the death with the dog Rong.

Li You is gifted and intelligent, well-educated, and has read a lot of books since he was a child, especially has unique insights into the affairs of the soldiers, and his military literature is first-class in the world. However, Li You has always been an official in the court, and this trip to Sanchuan County is his first time leading troops, and his military experience is still very lacking.

Li You had already heard that the Inurong soldiers who attacked this time were all sporadic small troops, and Li You had always believed that the Inurong tribe was a rabble with no combat effectiveness at all, so he despised them to the extreme. Therefore, Li You, who was eager for meritorious service, did not listen to the dissuasion of his generals, and without waiting for the army to assemble, he hurriedly led 5,000 light cavalry and a little dry food out of the city to find and destroy the dogs.

However, Chen Xiang already knew all this, and this time the dog Rong attacked Sanchuan County was the strategy that Chen Xiang gave the dog Rong leader. So the battle was a conspiracy from the very beginning. The Inujung army secretly lurked in the jungle around Sanchuan County, and then sent a small force to harass the Qin army, so that the Qin army mistakenly believed that this was just a straggler of the Inurong fighting the autumn wind on the border, luring the Qin army into battle, and then destroying the Qin army and occupying the city.

Li You, who was eager to make contributions, really hit the plan and led 5,000 light cavalry out of the city, and the dog Rong troops were crushed at the first touch, and they kept retreating, which also strengthened Li You's thoughts, and this dog Rong army was not to be feared. So Li You led the army to pursue continuously, committing the taboo of the soldiers going deep alone, and by the time the Qin army found out that something was wrong, it was already too late. I saw that at this time, the dog soldiers were unusual, not retreating but advancing, and there were more and more people, constantly surrounding from all directions.

Li You shouted that it was not good, so he hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat, but the dog soldiers who had been waiting for a long time were already like fierce hungry wolves, how could they easily let go of this fat meat in their mouths. A battle with a huge disparity in strength inevitably unfolded.

The battle ended without any suspense, and the only thing that was surprising was that under the net of the dogs, Li You was still allowed to escape alone. The Dog Rong people annihilated the 5,000 light cavalry of the Qin army, and took advantage of the situation to occupy the states and counties around Sanchuan County, leaving only one Sanchuan City hanging alone.

Li Yougui retreated into the city, and at this time, he couldn't care about any face, so he kept sending letters to Xianyang for help. At this time, how could Li You, who was bent on saving his life, think that why he was the only one who could be alone? What kind of disaster will he bring to their Li family if he is surviving for the time being?
