The apse of the chapter platform.

"Your Majesty, all explained, every year Zhao Tuo returned to Xianyang will go to see Li Xiang as usual, but Li Xiang has never accepted anything from him, Zhao Tuo turned to find Yuan Zhong, let him listen to the news about Lingnan, since the first year of the two have never been interrupted, this time the matter is also Zhao Tuo's instructions, Lingnan to report the news of the person living in Baoyue Building, has been captured, Yuan Zhong's son and stolen goods have also been investigated."

I thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Don't spread this matter, Yuan Zhong is dead?" ”

"Dead."

"Exile all his family to Donghu, and kill the messenger."

"Yes!"

Soon after Meng He left, Zhang Han came.

"Your Majesty, good news from North Korea!"

I raised my eyebrows, took the military newspaper and read it in detail.

"This spring, Wang Li led 5,000 border troops from Liaodong, first in the name of defection to open the North Korean gate, and then all the way to the king of the danger of light raids, only half a month to conquer the king, Wei Manli was killed. Then he left 2,000 people to garrison Wang Wei, and attacked the kingdom of Chen in the starry night, but in ten days, he captured the so-called king of Han alive and wiped out the two countries! ”

Zhang Han's voice fell, I basically understood the battle situation, nodded and said, "Wang Li lives up to my expectations, very good." Ordered him to be the right general of Chenjun, and concurrently served as the county guard of Chenjun, and went to Feng Zai to send officials. ”

"Yes!"

Then he looked up and said carefully: "Your Majesty doesn't seem to be very happy?" ”

I shook my head and frowned, "The small country of Yu'er, if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, what is there to be happy about, but the internal affairs of Great Qin make me quite worried. ”

"Is it Lingnan?"

Zhang Han is a lieutenant, there is no need to hide this kind of thing from him, I said bluntly: "Yes, with the evidence currently available, although Zhao Tuo cannot be convicted of treason, but it is not far from ten, and I am thinking about how to deal with it." ”

Zhang Han was shocked, Zhao Tuo really wanted to rebel?!

"Your Majesty has a plan?"

"I have already sent someone to chase Qi Liang, but I just warned him to be careful in everything, no matter what, the court must send someone to go." I looked at the map on the case and muttered, "I naturally don't want to use swords again, I'm afraid Zhao Tuo won't think about it." ”

Zhang Han nodded in agreement: "The matter has come to this, there is no turning back, there are still more than 40,000 Lingnan troops, plus the Lingnan Corps must have 500,000 or 600,000, the prison army may not be able to control all the Qin troops, I'm afraid it will be a bad battle!" Do you want to transfer the Shu army to quell the rebellion? ”

I frowned, to be honest, I haven't figured out how to deal with this matter until now, this is the first time that the general of the Qin army has rebelled, I am 100% sure of defeating Zhao Tuo, the military power and money and food that can be spent are definitely not a small amount, I just want to live with the people, so it will cost countless people!

After thinking about it for a long time, my eyes fell on Ganquan, and I sighed and said, "There is no other way!" Ordered Wang Jin to lead his battalion of 5,000 people to Lingnan, although the distance is farther, but it is less expensive than the dispatch of 100,000 troops in Shudi. ”

Zhang Han thought for a while and arched his hand: "Your Majesty is wise!" The Shu Road is rugged and difficult, and the time of marching from Guanzhong is almost the same, so I think it is okay! ”

"Go, order Wang Jin to set off as soon as possible, no matter whether Zhao Tuo will meet with the sword soldiers, General Lingnan will not be him again in the future. In addition, let Rewufang build a batch of improved bombs as soon as possible and give Wang Jin to take him to Lingnan, even if he can't use it, he can keep it for future attacks on the Qinnan Peninsula. ”

"Obey orders!"

Five days later, Wang Jin led 5,000 musketeers to Xianyang New Town, took two carts of bombs from Rewufang, and went straight south along Wuguan Road.

When the musketeers arrived in Nanyang County, Qi Liang and his party also went to Nanhai County to govern Panyu!

Seeing Zhao Tuo leading people to greet him in front of the city gate from afar, Qi Liang whispered to Yang Chi beside him: "Ting Weicheng, be careful when you enter the city, Your Majesty didn't let us tear our faces with him, don't be rash, otherwise it will be small for me to die, and if it is broken, Your Majesty's plan is big!" ”

Yang Chi adhered to the uprightness of the imperial history department, but he also knew the priorities, so he naturally would not joke with his life, and when he heard the words, he responded: "Don't worry, I can reflect on myself." ”

Qi Liang put on a warm smile and led the group to move forward.

In front of the city gate, Zhao Tuo shook his body and wondered about the Xiang Li next to him: "I see that the person in charge is the right guard, who is the other person?" ”

Xiang Lizhi raised his eyes and responded: "It's Ting Weicheng, Yang Chi." ”

Zhao Tuo hissed, a little puzzled: "There is military rations burned by the fire this time, and it is not improper for the right guard to come here, why is Ting Weicheng also here?" ”

Xiang Li Zhi shook his head, he also didn't know why, one was the person who was the captain, the other was the person who was the prime minister, and the person from the Imperial Doctor didn't come? That's a bit of an anomaly.

When they got closer, Zhao Tuo and the three of them hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I've seen the imperial envoy!" ”

Qi Liang didn't hold it up, turned over and dismounted and saluted back, and said with a smile: "General Right doesn't have to be polite, this guard army and Captain Cheng have come to read out the edict on the allocation of military rations by His Majesty's edict, by the way, see what the fire started, and also alert the other Okura, where the duty is, and I hope that the right general will help!" ”

Zhao Tuo was familiar with Qi Liang, naturally knew his character, and never took the initiative to offend people, so he hurriedly said: "Where is the emperor's envoy, so it should be!" Please! ”

Several people rode into the city and sat down at the county guard's mansion.

Qi Liang first read out the edict, and then asked about the fire in Nanhaicang.

"General Right, how could this good and decent Okura suddenly catch fire? 2.5 million stones, grains and grass, but not a single grain was snatched out? ”

Zhao Tuo sighed heavily: "The imperial envoy doesn't know, this summer is hot, the day the Okura caught fire is more than twice as hot as today's sun, it is expected that the sun is blazing, igniting the Okura, once there is a fire in this weather, where can I have time to put it out, and I burned the Okura in half a day, and I also lost a lot of soldiers in order to fight the fire, it is really a natural disaster!" ”

Yang Chi frowned and asked, "According to General You, the reason why the report didn't mention the cause of the fire is that General Right is not sure what caused the fire?" ”

Zhao Tuo glanced at Yang Chi, his expression was subtle, and he responded: "What the deputy envoy said is right, I ordered someone to check carefully, and found no traces of the gangsters, because I was worried that the fire would not burn out, so I asked people to pour water on the burned granary and the surrounding grass and trees, but it took a lot of effort......

Qi Liang's brows furrowed slightly, and he returned to normal in an instant, but Yang Chi frowned, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "What? The right general poured water on the burned granary? So even if there are clues, they are destroyed, you ......"

Before Yang Chi could speak, Qi Liang coughed lightly and interrupted: "General Right's move must also be helpless, otherwise the fire will not burn all the surrounding mountains and forests, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as burning down the granary, it's understandable." ”
