Zhao Gao looked at Ren Ao and said calmly: "Zhao Tuo is afraid of selfishness." ”

"Along the way, Zhao Tuo's attitude towards Gongzi is very indifferent, I am afraid that I don't put Gongzi in my eyes at all, and now I don't want to distribute these money cloths, I am afraid that most of them want to secretly be greedy for ink, Zhao Tuo is not right."

Ren Ao frowned and thought about it, but it didn't feel right.

He said: "General Zhao Tuo's words actually have some truth, many soldiers in the South China Sea have been in the border for nine years, and they have a lot of understanding of the behavior of the imperial court, and the environment in the South China Sea is so difficult, the homesickness of the soldiers is probably extremely strong, and if it is not handled properly, it may cause turmoil in the hearts of the army." ”

"General Zhao Tuo is probably worried about this."

"It's just that General Zhao Tuo's emotions about the distribution of money rewards are a little too big."

"I'm afraid that something has happened in the South China Sea that we don't know about."

Ren Ao's face was solemn.

His father, Ren Huan, was the chief general of the South China Sea, and was killed by the Baiyue people three years ago, and he served in the imperial court at that time and did not go to the army, so he knew little about the situation in the army.

Hearing the words of the two, Hu Hai bowed his head slightly and didn't say much.

Ren Ao did not stay in the big tent for long.

After only Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were left in the big tent, Zhao Gao said in a low voice: "Childe, be careful of Zhao Tuo, this person may have two hearts." ”

"Otherwise, I am afraid that there is selfishness for these money and grain, the South China Sea is barren, although the imperial court has allocated money and grain, but compared to the 500,000 army in the South China Sea, it is still a drop in the bucket, and these generals probably want to swallow these money cloths."

"Two hearts?" Hu Hai's face froze, and he said, "Let's talk about it in detail." ”

Zhao Gao smiled coldly and said: "I know Zhao Tuo, a low-key and calm personality, rarely made mistakes in the past in the court, he has always been steady and steady, and every step is very solid, but this time when he heard Gongzi's words, he was rarely discolored, I am afraid that Gongzi's words disturbed his original plan." ”

"Childe came in a hurry this time."

"The South China Sea is too far away from Xianyang, and the transmission of information is very inconvenient, so Zhao Tuo probably doesn't know the true intention of the son."

"Zhao Tuo rarely got acquainted with people in the court in the past, so not many people would give him a message, so Zhao Tuo probably never thought that the imperial court would distribute money and rewards to 500,000 soldiers in the South China Sea."

"All the way down."

"Zhao Tuo never took his son to heart."

"I'm afraid that he doesn't think that Gongzi can ascend to the throne at all."

"That's why you dare to despise it so much."

"But in any case, Zhao Tuo did miscalculate."

"Then what is Zhao Tuo's intention?" Hu Hai's expression also became solemn.

even subconsciously touched the sleeve.

Zhao Gaoyin said compassionately: "How can this minister know? ”

"It's just that Zhao Tuo's rebellion is unlikely, how can Daqin's soldiers rebel with Zhao Tuo?"

Hu Hai bowed slightly.

He also didn't think that Zhao Tuo had this ability.

Zhao Gao said: "The minister thinks that Zhao Tuo wants to be in a high position. ”

"So he doesn't want trouble in the South China Sea, compared to the imperial court to distribute money and rewards, he hopes that the imperial court will move more women over, so that the soldiers in the South China Sea can completely settle down, and when he will capture the Ouluo area after a while, he has outstanding military achievements, and has the credit of stabilizing the three counties in Lingnan, and then with his merits, I am afraid that it will be enough to rank in Jiuqing, and it is not impossible to become the prime minister in the future."

"This is probably Zhao Tuo's real thoughts."

Hear the words.

Hu Hai was thoughtful.

He took his hand out of his sleeve and touched his chin, thinking that what Zhao Gao said was reasonable.

Zhao Tuo is a person who seeks stability.

He didn't want a change in what he had set out to do.

And his trip was completely out of Zhao Tuo's expectations, and it would also disrupt Zhao Tuo's original arrangement, so Zhao Tuo seemed flustered.

Zhao Tuo's desire for power is very heavy!

Forthwith.

Hu Hai showed a hint of displeasure on his face.

According to Zhao Gao, Zhao Tuo clearly regarded himself as Jiuqing or the prime minister, so he didn't take himself in his eyes, and he never thought that he could become the emperor, which made Hu Hai very unhappy in his heart, and said unhappily: "Although Zhao Tuo is the main general of the South China Sea, most of the Lingnan are beaten down by Tu Sui and Ren Huan, and he Zhao Tuo just picked up the exploits of these two generals, what qualifications do you have to kick my nose in the face?" ”

Zhao Gao smiled and said, "Don't worry, son." ”

"It's a good thing that Zhao Tuo is selfish."

"Although he led 500,000 troops, in the eyes of the courtiers, he was completely inferior to Meng Tian, and he probably knew it himself, but would he really think that he was inferior to Meng Tian?"

"Probably not."

"Although the prime minister of Great Qin has one left and one right."

"But after all, there is only one person who really holds the power."

"Wang Juan and Kui are in power, and Li Si and Feng Quji are in power."

"If the eldest son ascends to the throne, the position of prime minister must be Mengtian, even if it is Li Si, I am afraid that he will not be able to compete for it, with Zhao Tuo's current calculations, I am afraid that he is unwilling to only hold some side power, so Zhao Tuo may not be able to fight for the son."

"If the son can get Zhao Tuo's help, he will be able to compete with the eldest son in the army."

"Some time ago, because of the matter of salt and iron, the eldest son offended many courtiers, and many of these people were shaken, at this time, with the help of Zhao Tuo, the prince will be able to completely recruit the people who were originally wavering, and then the power of the prince in the court will increase greatly."

"Childe's chance is here!"

Zhao Gao is good at persuasion.

He wanted Hu Hai to take a step back this time.

agreed with Zhao Tuo's idea, and then wooed Zhao Tuo, expanded his strength, and further consolidated the refuge of the courtiers during this period, so as to fight with Fusu for himself in the future and win enough power.

Hu Hai has already been moved.

He looked to the side, but saw that there were many mosquitoes and flies around him, and immediately showed displeasure and hurriedly stretched out his hand to drive them away.

Looked at.

Zhao Gao also hurriedly waved his sleeves.

Hu Hai sat on the ground, pondered for a while, looked at Zhao Gao who was serious on the side, but his brows were furrowed, he thought of Ji Heng's reminder in the past, Zhao Gao is also a person with interests, and he and Zhao Tuo are actually people all the way.

It's just that Zhao Gao is right.

If he can win over Zhao Tuo, his momentum in the court will increase greatly.

It doesn't have to be impossible to fight with the eldest brother.

"Childe, what is there to hesitate about? The opportunity is rare, if Gongzi does not seize this opportunity, not only can he not win over Zhao Tuo, but he may offend him, and when Gongzi wants to succeed, I am afraid it will become extremely difficult, Gongzi should not hesitate anymore. Zhao Gao was a little anxious, and hurriedly urged.

Hu Hai clenched his hands into fists.

Just when he wanted to say yes, he thought of the second tip given by Ji Heng.

Let him not make any extraneous complications.

With Ji Heng's ability, he will not easily give such advice, although Ji Heng does not know much about the situation in the South China Sea, but in the past, Ji Heng rarely made mistakes, Hu Hai was a little afraid to gamble for a while, and as he refuted Zhao Tuo's words earlier, he was ordered by His Majesty this time, how could he resist the adversity?

If the father knows, it will be really bad.

Hu Hai calmed down.

He hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, this time I am with my eldest brother in the south and in the north, the eldest brother will definitely obey my father's order, if I follow Zhao Tuo's advice, and then it will reach my father's ears, how will my father think of me?" ”

"Father hates disobedience the most!"

"No, no, no."

Hu Hai's head shook like a rattle.

Hearing Hu Hai's words, Zhao Gao's face was anxious, and he hurriedly said: "Son, why is the money reward not issued?" At that time, we will say that it has been sent down, and let Zhao Tuo also write like this, how many people in the court will really stare at the verification? As long as the entourage doesn't say it, and Zhao Tuo doesn't say it, who in the court can know? ”

"This is millions of gold money, how many people can resist greed? As long as they are given heavy benefits, how will they not obey? ”

"Childe, why can't you suddenly tell the difference?"

Hu Hai's face turned cold, and he scolded: "Zhao Gao, what do I do, it's not your turn to point fingers." ”

"I'm not without growth during this time, I know what to do and what not to do, I do disagree with my eldest brother, but I know that the reason why I can come to Nanhai this time is mainly because of my father's favor, if I lose my father's favor, it is really because of a small loss!"

"Don't persuade me anymore!"

"I can't disobey my father's decree."

"Let's go down."

Hu Hai was rarely angry with Zhao Gao.

Hearing Hu Hai's anger, Zhao Gao was also stunned for a moment.

His eyes stared at Hu Hai tightly, a little incredulous, Hu Hai has always been obedient to himself, rarely raised objections, and would not be angry with himself, why is it abnormal this time?

It was only for a split second that he thought of why.

Ji Heng!

It could only be this person.

He knew Hu Hai well in the past.

But since he was in prison, everything has changed.

Hu Hai seems to have an estrangement from himself, and many times he will not directly listen to the advice he gave, but will think about it.

This sense of distrust.

made Zhao Gao have an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Or even panic.

He opened his mouth and wanted to persuade a few more words, but the words came to his mouth, but he didn't dare to say any more, so he could only swallow aggrievedly, and then arched his hand and withdrew from the big tent.

Out of the big tent.

Zhao Gao's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Ji Heng, what did you say to Hu Hai?" Let Hu Hai even believe me, you are clearly falling to the eldest son, but you still want to bewitch Hu Hai, I, Zhao Gao, will not give up. ”

"Hu Hai can only listen to my !!"

The dusty midsummer is like a fire.

But the mountains and forests outside Linchen City are rare breezes.

The figures of Zhao Tuo, Lu Jia, Zhao Yu and others appeared in this nameless mountain forest, not far from the mountain forest, there was a thatched pavilion, surrounded by soldiers and guards, but Zhao Tuo and the others had no intention of going to the thatched pavilion at all, so they sat on the ground, and their expressions were very cold.

Zhao Tuo's square face showed a solemnity, and he said in a deep tone: "Have you heard Hu Hai's words?" ”

"Tell me what you think."

Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "Father, we miscalculated this time. ”

"Although we guessed that Hu Hai came this time to reward the army, so we deliberately came to Linchen from Panyu, and let some overworked soldiers as a greeting, in order to drive Hu Hai away as soon as possible and let him retreat, but we didn't expect that Hu Hai really came with him this time, and brought millions of money cloth."

"If all these money distributions are distributed, the army's original dissatisfaction with the imperial court will probably be eliminated a lot."

"That's not good news for us."

Lu Jia frowned, and said in a condensed voice: "Xianyang is too far away from the South China Sea, and the transmission of information is very inconvenient. ”

"But the land of the South China Sea is different from the Central Plains."

"It's brutal here."

said.

Lu Jia's expression showed a touch of disdain.

He's the Yue people!

He is the leader of one of the Baiyue clans.

It's just that when Qin conquered Baiyue for the first time, he was captured by the Qin army, and finally chose to take refuge in the Qin people to save his life.

It's just that Zhao Tuo is not a person with great ambitions.

He did not dare to stand on his own easily.

Lu Jia said coldly: "The current population of the South China Sea is roughly divided into two categories, one is the Yue people who went south, it is for the Baiyue, and the other is the original tribes of the South China Sea, there is no name, the original tribes of the South China Sea, no writing, no law, wood and stone fishing and hunting, slash and burn, advocating wizards, almost like the ancient barbarian people, and the Yue people who went south back then, mostly gathered on the coast of the East China Sea in Fujian, Panyu, Guilin, and Xiangdi, and there are not many people who are incompatible with the original tribes, and the fight is very fierce. ”

"After the Qin army went south, most of the Baiyue bowed down."

"Only the original clans are still resisting, but the number has become more and more scarce, and there is nothing to fear at the moment."

"But after all, the Baiyue people in the South China Sea have been far away from the Central Plains for too long, and their living habits have long been very different from the Central Plains, they are not used to the rule of the Qin people, and it is very difficult for the Qin people to enter the South China Sea.

"Therefore, the South China Sea is a natural place of self-reliance!"

Lu Jiashi Shiran said a few times, and then returned the topic to Hu Hai, "The arrival of this great Qin prince is indeed a little unexpected, and it has also ruined our calculations, we have been deliberately stirring up the hearts of the army, causing the dissatisfaction of the army sergeants and soldiers with the imperial court, and at the same time constantly asking for women from the Qin court, so that these soldiers can settle down, and then let them completely deviate from the Qin court, and have always intended to weaken the influence of the Qin court on the soldiers." ”

"Create opportunities for self-reliance in the future."

"But if Qin Ting's money is sent this time, many of the things we have done in the past will probably lose their effect directly."

"These soldiers will also regenerate the heart of returning to Qin."

"Therefore, I could not agree."

"It's just that Hu Hai has already made up his mind, although we have control over the army, but the soldiers still have expectations for Daqin, I am afraid that they will not follow us to make trouble, what should we do now?" Zhao Yu said in a condensed voice.

Lu Jia sneered, and said with compassion: "This is Linchen City, and the soldiers around are all our people, and now it's not time to turn his face with Qin Ting, so he can't kill Hu Hai, but it's still easy for them to fool Hu Hai over." ”

"At least get rid of this Hu Hai as soon as possible."

"Didn't he want the money to be rewarded?"

"Let him send it!"

"But the 'homesickness' in the army broke out, and it was also possible to scold the court."

"I want to see how this Da Qin's son, in the face of this situation, will end?"

"Did he close it?!"
