Chapter 66 Overlord of Western Chu

Due to the decisive handling of Xiang Shaolong, this coup did not bring major turmoil to the country, and the empire also had the best successor.

Xiang Shaolong was very excited, the land of China is developing in the best direction, and the future of the empire is worth looking forward to.

Meng Tian cooperated with Gan Luo and successfully controlled the Dune Palace, and the news of the death of the First Emperor also spread all over the world.

After Meng Tian consulted Xianyang, he escorted the body of the First Emperor back to Xianyang, and Zhao Gao, Li Si and Hu Hai became prisoners and were escorted back to Xianyang.

Fusu did not deal with these sinners first, but first buried the first emperor, and then ascended the throne and became the second emperor, proclaiming to the world and appeasing the people.

Xiang Shaolong didn't see Li Si.

Since Xiang Shaolong's resignation, Xiang Shaolong has been alienated from courtiers, especially important ministers like Li Si, and the relationship between the two has become weaker and weaker, and this time Li Si agreed to force Xiang Shaolong to death, which also made the two friends end.

As for Zhao Gao, Xiang Shaolong and him have no friendship at all. He was promoted by the First Emperor himself, and he had taught Hu Hai Gongzi to judge cases and break out of prison, and he was sociable, and he was very trusted by the First Emperor and Hu Hai Gongzi, which was the reason why he took risks in order to seek greater power.

As the prime minister of the empire, Li Si committed a crime and was imprisoned, making the position of prime minister vacant and affecting the operation of the country.

Fusu didn't think about the others, but begged Xiang Shaolong to go out of the mountain again to help the empire get through this extraordinary period.

Xiang Shaolong did not refuse, and gladly accepted it. Fusu is the most perfect king of success in Xiang Shaolong's eyes.

The first emperor had a domineering and tough personality, and was suitable for expanding his territory and making contributions in troubled times. The Fusu house is kind-hearted, sympathetic to the people, does not like luxury, and is most suitable for stabilizing the country and recuperating.

Zhao Gao and Li Si were beheaded, but Fusu finally couldn't bear to kill Hu Hai, so he just imprisoned him.

The empire turned a new page, the new emperor ascended the throne, and originally wanted to give amnesty to the world, but Xiang Shaolong felt that it was natural for the wicked to be punished, and he should not reduce the punishment at will, so that a few wicked people could benefit, it was better to reduce taxes and make the vast majority of the people grateful for the emperor's kindness. Fusu adopted Xiang Shaolong's opinion.

After Xiang Shaolong took office, he transferred Xiao He, a prison official from Pei County, to the central government.

Xiao He himself was also confused, he didn't understand how he came to operate, and he was surprised to see Xiang Shaolong. Unexpectedly, the wandering person who met in a hurry ten years ago was actually Xiang Shaolong, the legendary king of the empire, and now he is even more out again.

He has been doing nothing all these years, in fact, he is not young now, and he really can't understand which eye Xiang Shaolong can see that he is talented.

Xiao He has the heart to bring out a few of his friends in Pei County, but after all, he has no autonomy this time, and he has to wait and see the situation again.

Xiang Shaolong took Xiao He with him, just like he had supported Li Si at the beginning.

Xiang Shaolong has always believed that Li Si is the most outstanding talent he has ever seen, but unfortunately greed killed himself.

Xiao He is much older than Li Si at the beginning, but in fact, this age is not dominant, and it is not worth cultivating.

However, firstly, as a leader in the anti-Qin camp, Xiang Shaolong wanted to pull him over first, and secondly, Xiang Shaolong still had a bit of a star-chasing mentality, and Xiao He still had great potential.

Fusu stopped the construction of the Afang Palace, encouraged agriculture, stimulated industry and commerce, pursued frugality, and practiced it personally.

Xiang Shaolong secretly sent people to Shu County to find Guan Zhongyi and Xiang Yu, but there was no trace of him.

Xiang Shaolong instructed Gan Luo to arrange a large number of secret agents in the land of Wuyue in Jiangdong, transfer Meng Tian back to the central government, and send the general Li Xin to the border.

On this day, Gan Luo suddenly visited and met Xiang Shaolong secretly.

Gan Luo said: "Prime Minister, in recent years, many people have gradually gathered in the land of Wuzhong. Originally, it was normal for the population to increase year by year, and such news did not attract my attention. But because the prime minister is very concerned about the intelligence of Jiangdong, I also paid more attention to it, and found that many of these people are old nobles of the original Chu State, I don't think this kind of gathering is very normal, is it the situation that the prime minister has been worried about? ”

Xiang Shaolong thought for a while and said, "It really can't be taken lightly. At that time, the state of Chu was a first-class big country, with many heroes, strong aristocracy, and a large number of people under its control. I have always wanted to adopt national policies and give preferential treatment to the people, so as to increase the Chu people's sense of belonging to Daqin, but it is inevitable that there will be stubborn adventurers who want to get ahead and do not hesitate to disturb the world. You intensify your infiltration into the area, mix your people inside them, don't take risks, and stay safe. Do you know who their leader is? ”

Gan Luo said: "There are no clues, and now I only know that there are more and more old people from the Chu State in Wuzhong, and I haven't found any other changes at all." ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "The confidentiality work is done well. Now the people live in peace, the people are determined, only those who are stubborn are still dreaming, and there are few followers, and it is not easy to rebel. ”

Xiang Shaolong ordered Meng Tian that the army should also pay close attention to the situation in Jiangdong, and in case of a major incident, it must be able to respond in time.

In 209 BC, in the first year of Qin II, a rebellion broke out in Wuzhong, and the rebels soon swept the land of Wuyue.

Xiang Shaolong was furious, he was not a prophet, he had already made very detailed preparations, he was simply cheating, this is how he can make the rebels play such a momentum, what are the intelligence officers doing?

In the face of Xiang Shaolong's anger, Gan Luo was also helpless, and said: "Our intelligence officers have mixed in a lot, but they are all at the bottom, and their core members are all old people from the original Chu State, and our people can't even enter the middle level." Suddenly, our people didn't have time to report. ”

Xiang Shaolong suppressed his anger and looked at the Second Emperor.

Fusu was very calm and groaned: "It seems that they have a good time to prepare. The death of my father, the lack of a peerless strongman's deterrence, taking advantage of the fact that I have just ascended the throne and the political situation is unstable, it is indeed the time to launch, and in a few years, I will stabilize the situation, and they will have no chance. The Prime Minister's anger is also calm, the Prime Minister's preparations are sufficient, and I have absolute confidence to suppress this rebellion. ”

Meng Tian was the commander, Wang Ben's sons Wang Li and Zhang Han were the vanguard, quickly assembled an army of 200,000, and rushed to Jiangdong with lightning speed, sending troops to meet the army, and the follow-up troops were also replenishing the front line one after another.

Xiang Shaolong left Xiao He to exercise the power of prime minister on his behalf, and he and Gan Luo also came to the front line.

Xiang Yu launched suddenly, with brilliant achievements, and for a while, his prestige was greatly enhanced, and he proclaimed himself the "Overlord of Western Chu", which had the potential to swallow mountains and rivers.

But he didn't expect that Daqin had already reacted immediately, the speed of the army's assembly was beyond his imagination, and he wanted to further expand the results of the battle, the Qin army had already arrived in the city, and the commander was the god of war Meng Tian.

Meng Tian is the idol of all soldiers, he enlisted in the army at a young age, turned to the north and south, conquered everything, was invincible, opened up territory for Daqin, and his power reached the Western Regions.

Xiang Yu is a young hero, unstoppable, most of his generals are descendants of the nobles of the Chu State, and there are some disciples of the evil in charge. His senior brothers, especially his senior brother Long Ji, are superior in force, and even if they join the Qin army, they have a great chance to get ahead.

Xiang Shaolong saw Xiang Yu as an adult in front of the two armies.

Xiang Yu is about the same height as himself, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face like a crown of jade, eyes like stars, wide shoulders, a thin waist, and slender limbs. Golden helmet and golden armor, wearing a big red robe, pedaling tiger head combat boots, and using a chiseled gold tiger head gun with a length of one zhang and two feet and nine inches. Riding on a tall horse, with a peerless appearance, worthy of the sentence "the pride of the sky", coupled with a noble background, a proper "domineering president" style.

Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but praise: "What an enviable young man." ”

Xiang Yu is not only beautiful, but also capable, on the battlefield, there is no opponent at all, and the Qin army rarely has a general who can fight with him.

The one hundred and twenty-nine pound overlord spear flew up and down in his hand, and the Qin army lost its troops and had to rush up.

Xiang Yu was outnumbered and did not fall behind at all, and the Qin army was discouraged in the first battle, while the morale of the Chu army was greatly boosted, and Xiang Yu was endlessly worshipped.

Xiang Shaolong's heart as a martial artist who had been silent for many years began to move, in the face of a peerless general like Xiang Yu, it was a pity that he couldn't fight with him!

Xiang Shaolong decided to fight Xiang Yu. As soon as he said this, Meng Tian was shocked and resolutely disagreed.

Since Xiang Shaolong defeated Cao Qiudao, he has been known as the number one in the world, but that was many years ago. Now that he is over sixty years old, and this is still fighting immediately, he can be 100% sure that Xiang Shaolong is no match for Xiang Yu. Moreover, Xiang Shaolong was still the prime minister's respect at this time, how could he do such a charge.

It's not good to look at Xiang Shaolong clearly, Meng Tian just emphasized that as the prime minister, he fought a decisive battle, so where did he put these generals?

Xiang Shaolong also knew that they were afraid that they were in danger, but Xiang Yu was no less attractive to him than Cao Qiudao, and together with martial arts, he practiced diligently, although he was old, his ambition was still there.

Cao Qiudao fought against himself back then, and he was also sixty years old, although it was different to step down immediately, Xiang Shaolong confidently fought against Xiang Yu, and he still had the strength to fight.

Although Meng Tian insisted on not allowing it, after all, Xiang Shaolong was respected here, although he never checked and interfered in military affairs.

Xiang Shaolong said to Meng Tian: "Although I am the prime minister, in the army, I am just an idler, far less important than you. Even if something happens to me, you are in the army, and there is no chaos. And I don't think Xiang Yu can kill me, the worst is that I can get out of the way. If you're not convinced, let's go to the school now. ”

Meng Tian waved his hand again and again, and said: "Don't you dare to do it with His Royal Highness the King of Jin, you have been my idol since you were a child, and you are also a legend in the army." I feel sorry that you didn't stay in the army and let me study by your side. ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "I want to go into battle to fight with Xiang Yu, but it is the courage of a horseman, as the commander of the three armies, you can't learn from me." If I were in your position, I would never have made this decision. When it comes to military talent, I can't compare to you and Wang Qian, because I left the army because of you. ”
