Chapter 77 Raising troops in anger, Lü Buwei skillfully recommended Zhang Han

The news that Li Si was beheaded in public reached Sanchuan County, and Li You cried silently, swearing that he would be inseparable from the Qin State in this life, and immediately issued a document against Qin to the world.

In a few days, Li You ordered all the soldiers and horses, counted the sins of the king of Qin in public, and the whole army hated the same enemy, and the momentum shook the sky, and he was preparing to swear to attack Qin.

At this moment, the soldiers sent by Li You to contact the dog Rong came back and reported that the dog Rong had already withdrawn at some point, and Li You suddenly felt that it was pitch black in front of him when he heard it, and he almost fainted, and he couldn't help muttering: "How can this be?" I have already formed an alliance with Dog Rong, how could I have such a change? ”

It turned out that Chen Xiang had already agreed with the leader of the dog Rong to deceive Li You's trust to surrender, and after Xianyang exterminated the Li Si clan, he quickly withdrew his troops back to the grassland to continue to entangle with Wang Ben's troops, and the rest of the matter was handed over to Chen Xiang to deal with.

When the king of Qin heard the news of Li You's rebellion, he jumped like thunder, and the palace urgently asked who could lead the troops to exterminate him, but none of the ministers dared to speak.

At this time, Zhao Gao, who had just taken over as prime minister, suddenly came out and played: "At present, my Great Qin is in an eventful autumn, General Li Xin is far away in Yandi, and he is preparing for the matter of cutting Qi and cannot get out; General Wang Ben was also in the midst of a fierce battle with the dog Rong at this time, and he had no time to take care of the Sanchuan war. When the King of Qin heard this, he was furious and said, "Isn't there any other good general in my Great Qin?" Could it be that I, Daqin, will let that chaotic minister and thief come to him? After speaking, King Qin turned his gaze to Lu Buwei, who was half-squinting.

Lu Buwei rubbed his slightly worried eyes, and said slowly: "The minister is old, and he often feels unwell recently, I'm afraid he can't help him like before." After saying that, he returned to the same place in a hurry. King Qin looked around, and the main hall was still dead silent. King Qin had no choice but to announce his retirement from the dynasty, and went to Huayang Palace to discuss with Zhao Ji with full of anger.

When the king of Qin arrived at the Huayang Palace, Zhao Ji saw that he was silent, and knew that he had something unpleasant, so he retreated left and right, and personally served a cup of ginseng tea, and after the king of Qin took it, Zhao Ji asked: "Why is the king so troubled today, can you talk to the concubine?"

King Qin put down the teacup, got up and said stupidly: "The anti-thief Li You is rampant, he dares to raise troops to rebel, my Great Qin is at the time of employing people, but the court is full of a group of flies and dogs who only seek self-protection, even Lu Xiangguo has to stay out of the matter, and the widow is really sad."

Zhao Ji didn't say anything after hearing this, but got up and went to the back room to take out a wooden box, brought the wooden box to King Qin, opened the wooden box, and took out a piece of cloth from it, and the handwriting on it was clearly visible. The King of Qin recognized this thing at a glance, and this cloth was the oath he wrote to Lü Buwei when he fled from Zhao State.

Zhao Ji said slowly: "How the king has treated Lu Xiangguo in the past few years, the king should know in his heart. Lu Xiangguo was grief-stricken, so he handed over this oath to his concubine, he said that since the king was already suspicious of him, he did not need to keep this oath, so he returned the book to the original owner, handed over to my wife and wife to deal with themselves, and went back to live in the old age, and never asked about the affairs of the court again. ”

When King Qin heard this, his face was red, he was ashamed, and he said again and again: "It's a widow who has failed Xiangguo." The king of Qin decided on the spot that he would personally visit the Lü Mansion tonight and return the oath to him.

At night, Zhao Ji accompanied King Qin to the Lu Mansion in civilian clothes, and Lü Buwei had already taken the crown prince Ying Sikang to wait outside the gate.

In front of the door, after Lu Buwei and the prince knelt down and saluted, Zhao Ji hurriedly pulled the prince to ask for warmth.

King Qin looked at the white-haired Lü Buwei, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour, so he walked over and held Lü Buwei's hands tightly and asked, "Brother is okay lately?" Lü Buwei hurriedly replied: "There is King Lao's memory, and the ministers are all right." After speaking, he hurriedly invited King Qin to enter and take a seat.

At this time, the palace had already prepared delicious wine and food, King Qin sat down, and hurriedly beckoned Lü Buwei to sit beside him, Lü Buwei repeatedly refused, and King Qin refused, so he had to obey.

After Lü Buwei sat down, King Qin took out the cloth and stuffed it into Lü Buwei's arms, and said: "The widow has been a little wise over the years, and he has done a lot of foolish things, and I hope my brother will not mind." This oath was written by the widow himself and handed over to his brother, and now the oath is still in his ears, how can the brother put the widow in injustice? ”

Lü Buwei hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare, this oath is just a matter of anger back then, and it can't be true, so the minister returned this book to the queen." After hearing this, King Qin said excitedly: "If the widow is a widow, how can he go back on his word." Besides, the great kindness of the elder brother is difficult to repay the widow's death, and now the elder brother wants to break his oath, will he break off the righteousness with the widow's grace? ”

When Lü Buwei heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The king's words are serious, Lü Buwei swears to die and is willing to serve the king, and he has no two hearts." King Qin hurriedly helped Lu Buwei to take his seat, and said with a smile: "With my brother's words, the widow is at ease." After speaking, he personally picked up the wine glass and handed it to Lu Buwei and said: "I hope that my brother can carry the widow like he did back then and help the widow calm the world." Lü Buwei took the wine glass and drank it all. King Qin was overjoyed, so he raised his glass to invite him again, and the two of them came and went, so intimate.

When the wine was half-drunk, King Qin pulled Lü Buwei and asked, "Is there a good plan for the affairs of Sanchuan?" Lu Buwei calmed down and said: "In the early dynasty, the minister was afraid that the king would be suspicious, so he didn't dare to say more, but now the king asked again, and the minister didn't dare not say it." King Qin was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The widow knows that his brother must have a good plan." Lü Buwei continued: "There is indeed a suitable candidate at the moment, Captain Zhang Han has been brave and good at fighting since the Western Expedition to the Dogs, and has repeatedly made military exploits, and he should be an immortal general. Moreover, this person has been stationed in the northwest frontier all the year round and is extremely familiar with the northwest frontier defense. If you can send him, it will work wonders. The King of Qin was ecstatic when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to draft an edict, promoted Zhang Han to Zhonglang General, and ordered him to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to Sanchuan County to crusade against Li You.
