Chapter 627: Balance
Chapter 627
At this time, the Western Regions was like a piece of fat meat, placed in front of Tubo and Daqin, but Tubo smelled the taste but did not take a bite for a long time.
Da Qin, on the other hand, had already moved his chopsticks and took a bite of it.
And after eating the Western Regions, Daqin's chopsticks will be aimed at Tubo, and Tubo will not be able to escape this piece of meat.
This time, Qin Xi did not lead all the troops and horses to charge at the front, but sat in the rear and stayed in Loulan City.
Qin Xi clearly knew that he could no longer charge at the forefront of the front.
He is the crown prince, the future emperor of Qin, just like a handsome general in chess, and it is his duty to sit in the rear.
In Loulan City, Qin Xi stood at the head of the city and watched the five-way army set off.
"Your Highness, this His Royal Highness Han Xin still needs to pay more attention." Ge Ming said as he stood beside him.
Ge Ming was a little unaccustomed to the soil and water, so he stayed with Qin Xi.
Qin Xi looked at Ge Ming and said with a smile, "Tell me what you think of Han Xin." ”
Ge Ming arched his hand and said: "Han Xin is indeed very talented, but his ambition is also not small,"
"Now although His Highness has let him lead the army alone, his subordinates can still see that Han Xin is still dissatisfied with this."
"This person's ambition may be satisfied only if he leads the world."
Qin Xi said with a smile: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, soldiers have ambitions, let alone a general." ”
"Your Highness, but people with too much ambition, after being constantly satisfied, will only swell even more, and it will be difficult to contain it." Ge Ming lowered his head and reminded.
"But Han Xin is indeed a good general." Qin Xi took a deep breath and asked, "What do you think?"
Han Xin, Bai Yi and others, will there be a power struggle in the army? ”
"Your Majesty, this is inevitable." Ge Ming said: "Bai Yi Cao Yu's generals are not weak in their respective talents, and it is inevitable that they will fight. ”
Qin Xi suddenly asked, "Do you want to stay in the army in the future, or do you want to be a civilian official?" ”
Ge Ming was stunned for a moment, and arched his hand: "The minister thinks that the minister is more suitable to be a civilian official, and not suitable to stay in the army." ”
Qin Xi patted Ge Ming with a smile and said, "With you, I think I will save a lot of worry." ”
After Qin Xi finished speaking, he walked down the city, leaving Ge Ming with a puzzled face.
In the end, Ge Ming sighed, it was still the same sentence, the gentleman's heart was unpredictable.
After Qin Xi walked down the city, he came directly to the Loulan Palace.
The palace of Loulan has been taken over by the Qin army, and the king of Loulan is also imprisoned here.
Qin Xi came here this time to see King Loulan.
"See Your Highness!" After the guards saw Qin Xi, they hurriedly opened the door of a large hall.
In the main hall, King Loulan was dressed in plain clothes, lying on a bench and looking at it with blank eyes.
After hearing that Qin Xi was coming, he sat up, his face was not sad or happy, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." King Loulan saluted.
Qin Xi sat on a chair next to him and said, "I'll send someone to send you to Luoyang tomorrow, Lina misses you very much." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, but I don't want to leave." King Loulan said.
"You don't have a choice." Qin Xi said lightly.
"You!" King Loulan's face was very ugly.
Qin Xi continued: "Agugina has already led the troops to set off, and now you have nothing to rely on in the city,"
"I didn't expect you to make me lose
went to rely on it, and it turned out that Gina would lead the troops. King Loulan squinted and said.
Qin Xi lifted Erlang's legs and said with a relaxed face: "Agugina is very loyal to you, as long as you are in my hands, she will not dare to be disobedient." ”
"Not necessarily, maybe, Gina is back with the troops now." King Loulan said with a smile.
Qin Xi smiled very confidently: "She doesn't have that ability, my Great Qin's soldier is not a fool who only listens to orders." ”
King Loulan's face froze, and then he asked in a deep voice, "What is your intention in sending Gina to lead the troops?!" ”
"What Great Qin needs is a Western Regions that cannot be separated from Great Qin's territory in the future, not a Western Regions that may be separated at any time."
"Agugina becomes the general of my Great Qin, and opens up the territory for my Great Qin, so that I can get the results I want." Qin Xi said with a smile.
King Loulan sat back on the bench weakly, looked at Qin Xi and asked, "When did Great Qin have a plot against the Western Regions?" ”
Qin Xi replied with a smile, "When I became the Great Qin Prince. ”
"It's so early!" King Loulan didn't expect it to be before he sent an envoy. How ambitious is this guy in front of him?
Qin Xi continued: "If Great Qin wants to develop commerce, the best channel at present is the Western Regions, so the Western Regions must be under the control of Great Qin. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your doubts, it seems that the fall of Loulan is doomed." King Loulan said weakly.
Qin Xi stood up and said, "Having said so much, it's still the same sentence, let's leave for Luoyang tomorrow." Don't think about committing suicide, otherwise the people of Loulan City will give you a burial. ”
"I didn't expect that one day, I
He didn't even have the right to choose death. King Loulan could only watch weakly, and Qin Xi strode out of the palace.
After Qin Xi walked out, the guards closed the palace door again.
At the same time, Ge Ming hurriedly ran over, still holding a small note in his hand.
"Your Highness, there is news from Luoyang." Ge Ming handed over the note.
And what was written on the note was the First Emperor's handling of the leak of the siege equipment.
After reading it, Qin Xi burned it directly.
"Playing the balance of power game? Really, is it that boring? I'm not afraid to get away with it and leave a bunch of trouble. Qin Xi shook his head helplessly and said.
"Your Highness?" Ge Ming shouted suspiciously.
Qin Xi looked at Ge Ming and asked with a smile: "If you are in charge of the military department, the drawings of the siege equipment were leaked by the people under you, how do you deal with it?" ”
Ge Ming was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said: "This kind of incident is either a partisan dispute in the court, or someone has been bought. ”
"But in either case, it is a felony of treason, and according to the laws of Great Qin, it should be punished with car splitting."
Qin Xi nodded with satisfaction and said, "What if Your Majesty doesn't want to kill these people?" ”
Ge Ming had long expected Qin Xi to ask such a question, and he had already thought of a countermeasure.
Ge Ming arched his hand and said: "This leakage of siege equipment should be operated by the new elite faction in order to get to the top. ”
"The reason why Your Majesty didn't kill people is mainly for the sake of domestic scholars. I haven't been holding the imperial examination for a long time, and if I kill on a large scale, I'm afraid it will affect the continuation of the imperial examination. ”
Qin Xi smiled and said, "Hahaha! You still don't know too much about the scholars who study hard in the cold family, even if you are now a new school in the court
After the killing, as long as it is justified and well-founded, it will not affect the imperial examination at all. ”
"This is just a game of power balance, it seems that some old ministers in the court have changed their original intentions, even to the point of giving His Majesty a headache."
