"Just now, a fast horse came from Southwest Avenue, looking at its dress, it is similar to the letter and horse from General Feng in the southeast and General Li in the northeast, could it be that the news of Shu County has arrived?"

"Is it a war to conquer the Dian Kingdom, I heard that the Dian Kingdom is the remnants of the Chu people, and they claim to be the king without authorization in the southwest, and now the edict has asked Shu County to send troops to conquer the Dian Kingdom, and it has been more than a year since the calculation time, I am afraid that there is really good news coming."

In the restaurants in Xianyang City, many Qin people were chatting excitedly while eating the food on the table.

Great Qin fought in four directions at the same time, and there were already three battlefields with good news, and they were all great joys of opening up the territory and destroying the country and punishing the king.

The three joys are coming, which naturally makes these Xianyang people full of expectations for the final southwest war.

If the southwest wins, and the Qin army of Shu County captures and kills the king of Dian and returns, the power of Great Qin will be shocked all over the world.

It will let all the aliens in the world know that the Qin army is not only powerful in destroying the Six Kingdoms, but also fighting them as barbarians, it is also the same devastating and decaying, like an axe and a bamboo, invincible.

While everyone was talking to each other, a big man with a beard suddenly smiled and said, "Do you know who the commander of Shu County is responsible for the conquest of the Dian Kingdom?" ”

"Who is it?"

The crowd sought prestige.

Compared with Zhao Tuo and Li Xin's tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops, the war in the southwest of the Qin State was to fight the Dian State with the troops of one county, the scale was not large, only a few thousand people, and the soldiers were all recruited in Shu County, so not many people in Xianyang City paid attention to it before this.

That is, now that the three armies have won, it reminds people that the emperor also launched a war in the southwest.

The big man lowered his voice and said with a smile: "It's Li Ranran!" ”

Hiss......

In the restaurant, all the Qin people who heard this gasped and contributed to global warming.

Lee Run!

This is also a famous player.

In the past, the Qin army attacked Chu, and the martial arts marquis had the most eye-catching achievements, and the rest of the generals also made a lot of meritorious achievements. But if it is famous and talked about, the only one who can be compared with the martial arts marquis is the gentleman of the Tingwei family.

"Why did he go to the southwest and become the lieutenant of Shu County!"

"I have a feeling ......"

Seeing that the topic was beginning to develop in a dangerous direction, the shopkeeper of the restaurant walked over and said with a dark face: "You are talking nonsense, and you should not shut up quickly." If you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for denounce you! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately fell silent and shut up.

They can talk about war, but under the Qin law, they can only say good things in public.

In particular, the lieutenant of Shu County is the chief of the left and the high lord, and he criticizes the high lord with the low lord, and he will be punished.

The bearded man said with a smile: "Where do you want to go, we are saying that Shu County will definitely win a big victory in this southern expedition to Yunnan, and then it will be the four great joys, don't you say?" ”

"Yes, yes, Lieutenant Li went out and kept those Yi people bowing down."

"That's right, Lieutenant Li is mighty!"

Everyone hurriedly clapped their hands and praised them.

It's just that their eyes are full of different colors.

……

In the majestic Qin Palace.

Qin Shi Huang knelt in front of the desk, looking at the stack of documents on it, and nodded as he looked.

"Use the Xiumi Yue clan who surrendered to my Great Qin as bait, and promise heavy profits to accept the Xiumi Marquis who fled back to Hexi as my Great Qin's intermediary, so that they can tempt and disintegrate the remaining two Yue clans in Hexi, so that they can have the idea of surrendering and watch the battle with their hands. When my army is on the expedition, I will only fight the Yue Clan's royal court with my troops, and when the Yue Clan King is broken, the other two Yue Clans will surrender by themselves, so that after my Great Qin captures Hexi, I will save the soldiers and horses and have the power to enter the Western Regions. ”

"At the same time, those people of the Yue Clan who surrendered can also be the pioneers of my Great Qin, attack Wusun with the Yue Clan, and attack the Western Regions all the way, so that the number of troops sent by my Great Qin can be greatly reduced, and the logistics can also be supported, this is a truly feasible strategy for the westward expedition!"

The First Emperor put down his hand in the Chinese book and couldn't help but praise it.

At the end, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity, this Sugarsha is a woman, if she is a man, I should take her as a general." ”

Standing in the hall, Zhao Gao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said boldly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this Sujiasha can be used because she is a woman." ”

The First Emperor was stunned, but he didn't blame Zhao Gao for answering, and asked curiously: "Why is it because it is a woman's body that it can be used?" ”

Zhao Gao smiled and bowed, and said: "The ministers have heard the customs of the Yue clan, and the noble women have a high status, but there has never been a precedent for women to become the marquis of Xi, and it is impossible for them to become the supreme leader of the clan. Although this Sujiasha took the opportunity to grasp the power of the Xiumi Department during my Great Qin Northern Expedition, it was only temporary, and after she went back this time, according to their customs, she would lose the power to command the Yue clan. ”

"If Your Majesty officially orders Su Jiasha as the Marquis of the Yue Clan, gives this woman a name and weapon, and lets her lead the Yue Clan to fight for my Great Qin, it may bring great benefits. She became the leader of the Yue clan as a woman, and there will inevitably be people who will not accept it, in order to maintain her position, Su Jiasha can only rely on our Daqin all the time, and dare not give birth to a heart of betrayal, so that I can make Daqin and truly control the Yue clan! ”

The First Emperor bowed slightly, and what Zhao Gao said was somewhat interesting.

Appointing Su Jiasha as the Marquis of the Yue Clan and letting her take over the power of the clan as a woman will definitely encounter many difficulties, so she can only rely on the strength of the Qin State as a deterrent, and she is naturally an iron-hearted pro-Qin faction, which is much more loyal than several other surrendered Marquis.

Loyal!

"Well, let's talk about it."

The First Emperor said lightly, not revealing whether he agreed.

Zhao Gao smiled and shut up, no more.

His purpose has been achieved.

Zhao Gao didn't care if the emperor would support Su Jiasha to control the Yue Clan, the reason why he spoke out was to show his role in front of the emperor.

After so many years of companionship, Zhao Gao naturally knew that the emperor's favorite was a useful person.

Now, with Meng Yi being promoted to Zhonglang General, in the Suwei Palace, he is often summoned by the emperor for advice, and even the emperor consults Meng Yi on legal issues, which makes Zhao Gao feel deeply threatened.

He had to show his usefulness in a timely manner, and occasionally put forward some constructive suggestions, so that the emperor could feel that he was useful.

Under the encouragement of Zhao Tuo and the threat of Meng Yi, after Zhao Gao returns home every day, he is also quietly learning various policies for governing the country in order to maintain his position, and hopes to rise higher and higher like his old brother.

"I'm going to climb up one step at a time!"

Zhao Gao secretly encouraged himself in his heart.

The Emperor looked down at the paperwork in front of him again.

Outside the door, a eunuch came to report, saying that the Taiwei Wang Ben asked to see him, and there was information about the war in the southwest.

War in the Southwest!

"Captain, please come in."

The First Emperor spoke, with a hint of anticipation and excitement in his eyes.

Compared with several other battlefields, in the war of the Southwest Dian State, the Qin State only sent troops from one county to fight, which was not large in scale and was not worth noting.

However, when Daqin fought on all sides and won on all three roads, the victory or defeat of the war in the southwest was somewhat important.

Now three are missing one.

As long as the southwest wins, he, the emperor of Great Qin, can get the glory of defeating the barbarians, so that the emperor's little obsessive-compulsive disorder can also be satisfied.

A moment later, the Taiwei Wang Ben walked into the hall with his steady steps.

After Wang Ben saluted, the First Emperor couldn't wait to ask: "The previous battle reports were all submitted to the palace by the governor of the Taiwei Mansion. Now the captain himself has come, but he has brought good news. ”

Hearing this, Wang Ben's face twitched.

Why did he personally come to deliver the war report?

It's not because the news this time is too shocking, he is afraid that the emperor will be excited to give some military orders after reading it.

Faced with the emperor's expectations, he silently submitted the battle report.

The First Emperor picked it up with a smile, and said in his mouth: "The war in the Dian Kingdom has been fought for more than a year, and I know that the main thing is that the road is far away and difficult to pass, and now Li You can take it down, I ......"

The voice was interrupted, and a smile froze on the First Emperor's face.

He looked at the words on the battle report in a daze, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.

"Southwest...... Defeat ......"

The First Emperor slammed the battle report in his hand on the wooden case in front of him, and said angrily: "The four generals are fighting, why are the three generals victorious, and Li Youdu defeated!" ”

He glared at Wang Ben, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire.

Wang Ben thought about it for a while, and said: "The minister thinks that it is still a mistake in the tactics of Li Junwei, who attacked the Yi people with fire in the southwest, so that the Yi people united, surrendered with treacherous tricks, and ambushed our army, so that he was defeated. ”

The first emperor gritted his teeth, and asked a few more questions with Wang Ben, and was enlightened by Wang Ben, and his anger subsided a little.

"Taiwei go back, the defeat of Fachu back then, I am still fine, this small defeat in the southwest, nothing."

When the First Emperor said this, he was already weak, he waved his hand and gave the order to evict the guests, he just wanted to be quiet.

Wang Ben saw that the emperor was in good condition, so he breathed a sigh of relief and retired.

After Wang Ben's figure disappeared outside the hall.

Anger appeared on the First Emperor's face again, and he roared, "Fire attack...... Fire Attack! Isn't Li You the one who attacked and subdued him with fire in Nanjun, why can't he get to the southwest. ”

On the side, Zhao Gao's eyes rolled and he whispered: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the reason why this battle failed is not just a mistake in Li Junwei's tactics, I am afraid it is related to the rumor back then." ”

"Rumors?"

The First Emperor was stunned.

Then he remembered the battle of Vachu that year.

All the generals won, and Li You was defeated.

At that time, Zhao Gao did say a rumor in the army, explaining why Li You failed.

At that time, the first emperor was quite jealous, but he didn't want to abolish Li You's future for the sake of just a rumor, and Li You asked for war at that time, so he asked him to go to Nanjun to suppress the rebellious Yiren, just to see if the rumor was true.

Later, Li Youda defeated the Yiren, so that the first emperor temporarily relieved his heart.

How do you know that this time you went to the southwest to make such a fuss.

"Li Youshuqi!"

"It's not strange to fight a small war, it's a big fight!"

The First Emperor took a deep breath and roared, "Call me Li Si!" ”
