Chapter 18: Discovering Military Intelligence

"Hehe, I'm borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." Lin Haishan said with a smile, and then pointed to the bed on the side: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I will wronged you to sleep in this bed today." ”

After Lin Haishan finished speaking, he lifted the bedding, revealing cotton wool, which looked a little dirty, but Qin Fan didn't care and got into it directly.

"Huh?" Qin Fan suddenly raised his eyebrows, feeling that there was something under the bed, he immediately jumped out of bed, and then stretched out his hand to grope it.

"Haha, it turns out that this is hidden." After a moment, Qin Fan took out a letter.

When I opened it, it was the letter of the Jinsha County Shou.

The Jinsha County Warden told Qin Fan that there had been a large-scale flu in Jinsha County recently, and the soldiers of Jinsha County had died many people because they did not understand medical skills and had insufficient preventive measures, and the county guard asked for assistance.

"Sands." Qin Fan muttered, his mind flashed, and the topographic map of Jinsha County appeared in his mind, Jinsha County is located at the junction of the Jinhe Plain and the Xiliang Plain, and belongs to a strategic fortress.

If the Xiqiang Iron Cavalry invades, it will definitely break through from Jinsha County, and at that time, the hinterland of the Qin State will definitely be extremely dangerous.

The territory of Qin is vast, with a total of eight states and 36 counties.

Jinsha County is located in the western edge of the Qin State, only 100 miles away from the strategic point of Jincheng, and the Xiqiang Iron Cavalry can launch an attack from Jinsha County and smash Huanglong.

"This news is too important, I want to report it as soon as possible, and contact the army to prevent the Xiqiang Iron Cavalry from going south." Qin Fan immediately made up his mind, he was ready to send his personal guards back to the palace to report the news.

Immediately, Qin Fan called Lin Haishan and instructed: "I will send my personal guards back to Beijing to inform my father and the emperor, and ask him to mobilize the army of Jin Ge Iron Horse to resist the invasion of Xiqiang." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is heroic, and it is really a blessing for me to be able to gain His Majesty's trust." Lin Haishan said respectfully.

"You go and inform the other princes and generals at all levels, and we will discuss how to defend Xiqiang." Qin Fan commanded.

"Yes!" Lin Haishan responded.

"And you, send this picture scroll to your father, remember, don't let your father know that I am in Jinsha County, so as not to cause a riot." Qin Fan added again.

"Yes!"

Lin Haishan retreated.

Qin Fan quietly followed back to Kyoto.

Half a day later, the palace of the Qin Dynasty, the dormitory of the Qin Emperor Qin.

"What? The Xiqiang Iron Cavalry has already arrived in the city? Qin Huang stood up suddenly, a sharp light shot out of his cloudy eyes, and he stared at Lin Haishan and asked.

"Your Majesty, it is true." Lin Haishan said.

"Hmph, this bastard King Xiqiang dares to disobey my will, he really deserves death." Emperor Qin was furious.

Emperor Qin thought of the rebellion of the King of Xiqiang in Jinsha County, and he was already unhappy with the King of Xiqiang.

If it weren't for the huge power of the Xiqiang King, he would probably have sent troops to destroy the Xiqiang royal family a long time ago, where would he be tolerated to continue to make trouble?

"King Xiqiang, a traitor, dares to disobey the holy decree of my Qin State, it is simply looking for death!" A minister also scolded indignantly, he happened to be in charge of military affairs in the Western Regions.

The trade between the northwest of Qin and Xirong, due to the rich iron ore resources of Xirong, made the northwest of Qin prosperous, so this minister was very important in the northwest.

"Your Majesty, according to the old minister's humble opinion, Xiqiang is rebellious and dares to rebel, and it must not be spared, I suggest that all armies be gathered immediately, wave the army to crusade against Xiqiang, and completely exterminate Xiqiang." A veteran suggested.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the wolf son of Xiqiang is ambitious, if we don't get rid of Xiqiang, our Qin country will never have peace."

……

Everyone in the hall expressed their opinions and agreed with this behavior.

"Hmm!" Listening to the words of the ministers, Emperor Qin pondered for a long time before nodding in agreement, then looked at Lin Haishan and asked, "What does Lin Aiqing think?" ”

When Lin Haishan heard this, he immediately showed a look of surprise, and hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that he can immediately mobilize the army and attack Xiqiang!" ”

"Since all Aiqing has no objections, then prepare immediately, and send an order to the nine temples and twelve prisons of the three provinces, I will mobilize the army now, and I must go to Xiqiang within three days, and I will capture the king of Xiqiang alive for my use!"

Emperor Qin immediately made a decision.

"The old minister obeys." Lin Haishan said excitedly, he could finally leave here.

……

After Lin Haishan left, a guard stepped forward and muttered in a low voice, "Your Majesty, my subordinates have something to tell you." ”

"Say it!" Emperor Qin nodded.

The guard said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, according to the observation of his subordinates, Lin Haishan and Qin Fan have a close relationship. ”

Emperor Qin's eyes flashed when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said, "I know, go down." ”

"Your Majesty forgives you." The guards fell to their knees in a panic.

Emperor Qin shook his head and sighed, "That's it, I forgive your mistakes. ”

Emperor Qin didn't blame the guard, because he had been keeping an eye on Lin Haishan these days.

found that although Lin Haishan had been following him, he had never overstepped the bounds, just devoted himself to his duties, and was more like a servant.

And the most important point, the crown prince Qin Fan mentioned that his impression of Lin Haishan is also good, after all, for more than two years, Lin Haishan has accompanied Qin Fan, and Qin Fan has a deep impression of him.

"Forget it, Lin Aiqing is loyal, why should I doubt it, you go down." After Emperor Qin finished speaking, he ignored the guard and went straight back to his room to sleep.

After the guards left, a smile appeared on the corner of Emperor Qin's mouth, and he muttered to himself, "Lin Aiqing, what are you hiding from me?" ”

……

Lin Haishan took his guards and rode to a secluded manor.

"Lord Lin, you're here." At the door, the housekeeper said respectfully.

"Hmm!" Lin Haishan bowed his head slightly and stepped in.

In the main hall of the manor, Qin Fangao sat at the head, and there were several guards on his left and right sides.

A housekeeper, and a girl in Tsing Yi, with a delicate appearance, has an arrogance between her eyebrows, and doesn't seem to take the world in her eyes.

"Attend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lin Haishan arched his hand.

"Let's get flat!" Qin Fan raised his hand to signal Lin Haishan to excuse himself.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie." Lin Haishan got up, and then said to the housekeeper: "You go down first, this mansion and the prince have something to discuss." ”

"Yes!" The butler bowed, then stepped back and closed the door thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Qin Fan's face was suddenly full of smiles, and he said to Lin Haishan: "Hahaha, Uncle Lin is really a smart person who knows how to avoid suspicion. ”

"Your Highness said with a smile, we are monarchs and ministers, and we should abide by etiquette and not lose our dignity." Lin Haishan bowed slightly.

"Hehe, Uncle Lin, please take a seat." Qin Fan said with a smile, and then ordered the maid to serve tea.

"Uncle Lin, I called you over today, mainly because I have something to hand over to you, and I hope Uncle Lin will help me transfer it to my father." After Lin Haishan drank a cup of tea, Qin Fan said solemnly.

"Your Highness, please speak." Lin Haishan nodded.

"This is a letter I wrote, Uncle Lin, you can take it to your father and show it." Qin Fan took out a copy of the fold from his sleeve robe and handed it to Lin Haishandao.

"This ......" Lin Haishan took the fold, a little hesitant.
