It shouldn't be this way! It should never be like this......

The reason why so many armed uprisings broke out at the end of the Qin Dynasty was nothing more than that the first emperor died on the eastern patrol road, the eldest son Fusu was forced to commit suicide by the edict, and the "first warrior of China" Meng Tian was imprisoned, and then the absurd administration after Hu Hai ascended the throne, and Zhao Gao continued to kill the royal family,...... and so on, the national strength of the Qin State was weakened, and the army lost its previous combat effectiveness because a large number of generals were killed, and it was not until the Qin State was in decline that the troops in various places would occur.

Although the Qin State is consuming national strength in a large number of construction projects, the army's high- and middle-level generals are still complete, and the overall combat effectiveness of the army has not declined, and it is fully capable of extinguishing the old nobles or people in so many places. How could the situation be so unbearable?

Lu Zhe, who heard that Zhao Di, Wei Di, and Qi Di had raised troops one after another, was completely shocked in his heart, and he could vaguely guess what the First Emperor was planning, but he thought it was too incredible. After being shocked, he stared at Yan Bi: "Do you know how to do this?" ”

Yan Bi is a smart person, he naturally knows what Lu Zhe is asking, and replied very respectfully: "Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you don't take advantage of the situation being muddy, make more preparations, and wait for the situation to be unfavorable to you." ”

Is it? Is it true that the Qin State is powerless to extinguish the rising troops from all over the country to make the living room so bad? And now is really the right time to do all that propaganda?!

Lu Zhe clenched his fists, he stared at Yan Bi and scolded in a low voice: "Stupid! ”

Yan Bi was stunned by the scolding, and looked at Lu Zhe in confusion, not knowing what he had done wrong.

"Foolish!" Lu Zhe showed an angry expression: "Sanchuan County has at least 30,000 powerful garrisons for a long time, should you be able to resist the 30,000 powerful Qin army with scarce weapons in those rebels?" ”

"Shouldn't it be like this?" Yan Bi was really confused: "If you can eliminate those rebel forces, why don't you destroy the Qin State?" ”

Lu Zhe didn't know what to say anymore, but he didn't feel that he was powerless to destroy it, and the First Emperor was not a person who was helpless when he encountered difficulties. There must be some stratagem in this.

Thinking that the troops to attack Chu were insufficient, the First Emperor recruited men from all over the country to organize a force of 500,000 and handed it over to Wang Qian, and later organized a group of at least 800,000 people to escort grain and grass.

It is not clear whether the men of the Qin State have been conscripted into the army now, but if you just sit back and watch the continuous rebellions in various places and do not send troops to suppress them, this is completely inconsistent with the character of the First Emperor.

The First Emperor would not be a man who sat idly by, and he would not tolerate someone destroying the great cause that had been established, so what was the reason that the Qin army did not move when the smoke was everywhere? Lu Zhe, who had studied "Thirty-six Strategies", thought about it for a while, and thought that it was a plan to "lure the snake out of the hole"!

How strong was the combat power of the Qin army? Lu Zhe had only led 5,000 orthodox Qin troops, and he knew very well that the Qin army at this stage was not at all a terrifying existence that those rebels could fight.

Lü Zhe was able to defeat 50,000 Ouyue with the assistance of 20,000 auxiliaries with only 3,500 soldiers, but he was the one who saw the strong combat effectiveness of the orthodox Qin army with his own eyes.

Sanchuan County has 30,000 garrisons, and the Sanchuan County Guard is Li Si's eldest son Li You. So if you don't get some orders, how can you sit back and watch the next few counties raise troops.

As the county guard, Li You will definitely tell the center after the rebellion in several counties, and the fast horse from Xianyang to Sanchuan County will arrive in only half a month, and Li You will send troops long ago.

But what? Judging from the fact that Hengshan County did not receive reinforcements, Li You of Sanchuan County must not have received the order to send troops, so what was the reason for such a strange thing to happen?

It is conceivable that it was a deliberate inaction to seduce people with bad intentions to jump out, and then the First Emperor waited for a certain opportunity, and then waved his army to eliminate those people and annihilate them once and for all!

Lü Zhe felt that this was at least 80 percent likely, not that Qin was unable to extinguish the rebels.

Lack of energy is often the most terrible. In order to confirm his guess, Lu Zhe asked Yan Bi: "What about the Xiang clan of Huiji County, have they raised troops?" ”

Yan Bi replied truthfully: "No, the Xiang family is still lurking." ”

That's right. Xiang Liang of the Xiang clan is a scheming fox, and he will never jump out if he is not sure, Lu Zhe is even more sure of his guess, and he looks at Yan Bi a little speechlessly. I don't know whether to be angry or sigh: "You...... Mistake me! ”

Nanjun is connected to Ba, Shu and Hanzhong, Ba County has 10,000 Qin troops stationed in Ba County for a long time to prevent local ethnic minorities from rebelling, and the Great Plain of Shu County is a production area with 20,000 Qin troops. Hanzhong County is a barrier to the southwest of Neishi County, and there are also 8,000 Qin troops stationed. The three counties together have 38,000 Qin troops, not to mention that some time ago, there were 20,000 Southern Expeditionary troops who were supposed to come to Nanjun to transfer to quell the rebellion. So that means that as long as Xianyang has an order, a force of at least 50,000 people can be assembled at any time to attack, and judging from the current situation in Nanjun, it is almost impossible to hold it.

Yan Bi, who didn't understand at all, was a little overwhelmed, he really didn't know what he had done wrong.

Now it's time to preach and preach, the patriarch and gentry of Nanjun have already made bets with those donations, which is considered a fact that is already in the boat. Lu Zhe didn't think that the First Emperor was a person who was easy to deceive, even if he didn't know what was going on in Nanjun Dao now, he would definitely find out what Yan Bi was advocating in Nanjun. And Yan Bi is Lu Zhe's subordinate, the First Emperor will not think that Yan Bi is making his own opinion, everything still has to be counted on Lu Zhe's head.

"Is there anything else that can be done?" Lu Zhe thought in his heart.

Kill Yan Bi, and then send Yan Bi's head over before Xianyang has an attack? And it seems that this can't change anything at all, and it may be considered that he is a thief and Xianyang learned about Nanjun's movements in advance.

Lu Zhe glanced at the patriarchs and gentry who were looking at this side a little far away, and he turned his gaze back to Yan Bi: "You don't have to worry about the civil affairs of Nanjun anymore. ”

Stunned, extremely stunned, Yan Bi didn't react a little: "For, for, what?" Didn't he do a good job? ”

"So you're stupid!" Lu Zhe suppressed his anger: "If I didn't kill you, it wouldn't help, I should have killed you!" ”

Yan Bi, who was a little aggrieved in his heart, was too dazed: "Yes...... What did he do wrong? But everything he does is for your sake. ”

Therefore, it is precisely because Yan Bi is from such a mentality that Lu Zhecai has such a great sense of powerlessness in his heart......

Lu Zhe told the conjecture that Qin Guo was willing to rebel in various places, and Yan Bi opened his mouth wide after hearing this.

"So ......," Yan Bi's face turned pale after thinking for a moment, "Is that so?" ”

Those are just Lu Zhe's own guesses. There is no real evidence. Now he once again felt the disadvantage of not having a strategist, if there was a strategist with superior intelligence, or let the strategist sit in Nanjun, or go to Qianzhong County with the army, many things would not be confirmed without racking his brains.

Lu Zhe thought about it for a while and felt that there was still room for maneuvering, but it was too difficult to operate. He should now write a letter to Zhao Gao and Xu Yan in Xianyang, explaining the actual situation in Nanjun, hoping that Zhao Gao, a close minister of the emperor, can speak for himself at the appropriate time, and Xu Yan, a general of Lantian, can also explain to himself in the military.

"It's just so hard to make up for it!" Lu Zhe was a little stunned.

Those patriarchs and gentry also seemed to sense that something was wrong and came to resign, and Lu Zhe could only concentrate on commending and talking one by one. It took a lot of effort to send those people away.

A sense of urgency once again came to Lu Zhe's heart, and he felt the need to find a strategist for himself, but unfortunately, there were not many strategists in the late Qin Dynasty who knew the Dao......

Zhang Liang doesn't have to think about it at all, this person is committed to restoring Korea, and now he will not follow anyone except the king and grandson of South Korea.

Fan Zeng didn't think about it, he had already been killed by Lu Zhe.

I vaguely remembered that Han Xin had a Kuaitong strategist by his side, and when he watched Chu and Han fight for hegemony, Lu Zhe still regretted that Han Xin didn't listen to Kuaitong's strategy, and ended up dying and annihilating.

Lu Zhe thought about it for a long time, and when he returned to Jiangling, he only thought of so many people. And it's the kind of memory that only knows the name of the road and doesn't know where the road is.

Because he was distraught and didn't have the time to check the project again, Lu Zhe also ordered someone to arrange the camp and food for the rattan armor soldiers, and he led 500 personal soldiers back to the military tent left in Jiangling.

When I entered the military tent, the furnishings inside were still the same as before I left. If you look closely, it seems that someone comes to clean it every day, and you can't see any dust on the neatly arranged long table.

Lu Zhe walked to the main seat and sat down, took off his helmet and wrapped his head.

Strange to say, the war reports sent from Nanjun to Xianyang and the letters delivered to various people should have reached those people a long time ago. It's just that it's been almost two and a half months, why don't you have a receipt?

Lu Zhe turned his head and saw a map of the mountains and rivers hanging behind him, so he stood up and walked over to watch.

This map of mountains and rivers is only this part of Nangun. Terrain such as Hengshan County, Changsha County, etc., is not included.

Lu Zhe walked to the side of the cabinet and rummaged through it, and he found several parchment scrolls taken from Fan Zeng, each of which recorded the topography and county seat of each county.

took out the map of Surabaya County and hung it again, Lu Zhe quickly found the annotation of Pei County on the map, and his finger seemed to be thinking about something on the annotation of Pei County.

"It's hard to predict what will happen," Lu Zhe frowned a little sadly: "Since you can't predict it, then just let go of your hands and feet!" ”

Continuously, the maps of Surabaya County and Donghae County have been turned out......

"It seems that it is very necessary to send out people!" Lu Zhe thought of it, and he sent someone to ask Wei Han, who was in Jiangling, to find him, and ordered: "You pick out some people!" The first and foremost goal was to go to Huaiyin to find a man named Han Xin and bring him back. The second is to send a group of people to Pei County to bring back a person named Xiao He there......" Speaking of this, he stopped and hesitated, "Fan Xu, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Peng Yue, Xiahou Ying, Lu Xuan, ...... there" Because he was not sure whether he recalled all the people, he added, "As long as it is a hero, bring them all back!" ”

Wei Han was a little stunned when he heard this, and he asked, "Lord, can you allow you to write down the names of these people?" ”

Lu Zhe nodded, he wanted to do nothing and just get all his historical celebrities back, even if they didn't work for him when they came, it was better than letting these people help others!

After Wei Han finished writing, he showed it to Lu Zhe, and many of the names in it were written incorrectly, so Lu Zhe simply wrote it himself.

"Xiao He, Fan Xu, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying, Lu Juan, these people should all be in Pei County, if they don't want to come to Nanjun, they will be tied up, and if they can't be tied up, they will be ...... No mercy! It seemed that he could only think of so much, Lu Zhe paused and flashed the murderous intent: "In addition, after arriving in Pei County, I found a person named Liu Ji." Kill the first time you find it! At the same time, there was a woman named Lu Pheasant there, who brought her back with her family! ”

"Women, women, ......?" Wei Han was extremely surprised in his heart, it was the first time he had seen that Lu Zhe would be interested in a woman.

"Han Xin and Kuaitong should be in Huaiyin, Zhong Liwu seems to be in Huiji," Lu Zhe thought for a moment, "Since you are going to Huiji, then find another person named Yu Ziqi, and bring his family, especially his sister Yu Ji, back with him after finding it!" ”

"The second one, it's the second woman......" Wei Han suddenly remembered a lively figure. And she learned that Lu Zhe was preparing pastries when he returned to Jiangling, and he would come over later.

With Lu Zhe's current status, he has more than 100,000 troops under his command, and he controls the entire Nanjun, so he has sufficient manpower to do these things.

After Wei Han confirmed that it was correct, he also went out to arrange. When he came out of the big tent, he happened to meet Yixiu, who came over with pastries, and reminded with some hesitation: "Miss Xiu, the master is busy now, will you enter later?" ”

The smile on Yixiu's face remained the same: "Okay? All right! ”

Wei Han glanced at Yixiu, who was smiling sweetly, with some regret, and really couldn't understand what the master would send someone to do with those two women.

Lu Zhe chased him out. He saw that Wei Han hadn't gone far and shouted back, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw Yixiu holding the pastry.

Yixiu didn't lean over immediately when she saw Lu Zhe come out, she just stood there and smiled sweetly.

"You can ask people to find Su Lie, Mei Li, Xu Zhi, and Mian Bi again." After Lu Zhe finished speaking, he looked at Yixiu, took the initiative to walk over and picked up a piece of pastry on the porcelain plate and ate it.

Wei Han smiled when he saw this scene. Bow respectfully and stand back.

"yes, it's not too sweet." Lu Zhe, who hadn't eaten well for a few days, was already hungry when he rushed back to Jiangling from Linyuan, so he finished eating the pastries on the plate in two or three bites, and untied the water bag on his waist and poured a few sips of water. Said to Yixiu: "Not only hungry, can you help me get some food?" ”

Yi Xiu saw that the man he liked finished eating the pastries he made, and his heart was as sweet as honey, and he didn't think much about it when he was hungry when he heard it. Without even replying, he turned around and trotted to prepare food.

Lu Zhe smiled bitterly and watched Yixiu, who was not at all ladylike, run away before returning to the tent, and before he sat down in the main seat, Yan Bi asked to see him outside.

Yan Bi's face was still a little pale, and he saluted respectfully after he came in: "Lord General, because of his recklessness, I have caused trouble for you." ”

It's not just trouble, it should be said that it's a big trouble! Lu Zheyou was thinking about how to deal with Yan Bi, but it was difficult to choose for a while.

Yan Bi maintained a saluting posture: "The elders of Nanjun are so enthusiastic, why don't the lords take advantage of the trend?" ”

Lu Zhe snorted coldly, if it weren't for Yan Bi's lack of credit and hard work for a long time, he should have killed Yan Bi instead of just going to work.

With a wry smile, Yan Bi said again: "Since this is the case...... paused, and the speed of his speech became slow: "We can now release the news to other counties and counties, creating the appearance that someone is framing the main general, so that Xianyang mistakenly thinks that someone is trying to use the main future to achieve some ulterior purposes." In this way, although it is impossible to clear the suspicion, it can also achieve the effect of confusion. It may not be possible to avoid Xianyang's suspicions, but it's not entirely a disadvantage. ”

"Huh!" Lu Zhe said coldly: "Oh, there are still benefits? ”

Yan Bi nodded vigorously: "Exactly!" The Lord will think about it, for more than two months, why did the Hengshan rebels who were close at hand not come to attack Nanjun? Why did no one from Lujiang County and Changsha County attack Nanjun, but they continued to attack other counties that were still under the control of the Qin State? ”

Lu Zhe thought about it for a while, the rebels of the three counties connected to Nanjun really hadn't come to attack Nanjun, he only thought that the rebels of these three counties were afraid of Nanjun's soldiers, was there any other reason?

Yan Bi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Zhe thinking about it, and he continued: "Lord General, please think about it, if we hadn't always shown an independent posture, how could Nanjun become stable? It is important to know that there are not a few people who want to raise troops in the southern county of Ludaonan, and the counties did not send troops to sweep when Baiyue invaded. Moreover, he just acted a little, and so many people from the patriarchs and gentry couldn't wait to come out to donate to show their support, which is enough to show what the people of Nanjun are looking forward to. Based on what he has seen and heard, the Nanjun Patriarch really does not have a good impression of the Qin State, if you don't divide it, I am afraid that the Nanjun Patriarch and the Hao Gentry will find new candidates to support, and they may also collude to raise troops......"

His eyelids jumped, and Lu Zhe knew that Yan Bi was not talking nonsense.

After a little difficult hesitation, Yan Bi gritted his teeth: "You may be unhappy or think it's a bad thing if you say it." You've been vigorously building the passes and forts of Nanjun, and you're building a new city, all of which are in line with the hearts of the people of Nanjun. The so-called protection of the territory and the people, these are what you have been doing. And this ...... I'm afraid it's not in the interests of the Qin State, if you are really loyal to the Qin State, why don't you send troops to sweep away the troops of other counties, but stick to the development of Nanjun? They can't help but guess your thoughts, reveal your thoughts, and it is in this way that those old nobles who raised troops did not come to attack, otherwise how could they have the opportunity to build a project with peace of mind? ”

Now it's time to change Lu Zhe with a bitter smile. He has always had no sense of security, and he also has a preconceived belief that the Qin State is about to fall, and everything he does is nothing more than to protect himself. And it seems that although he didn't think about it deliberately, he really wanted to be self-reliant subconsciously, otherwise he should really send troops to attack the rebels in Ruhengshan County, Lujiang County, and Changsha County as Yan Bi said.

Lu Zhe sat dumbfounded, he no longer knew whether what he had done was right or wrong.

Like, just like...... Even if there was no Yan Bi's advocacy, Xianyang sent people to understand Nanjun, and they would find out that Lu Zhe was only protecting himself and did not send troops to quell the rebellion out of the interests of the Qin State.

"Chief, maybe you didn't show you wanted to be independent. But what you're doing is doing something that divides you. Yan Bi felt that if he didn't make things clear, once he was abandoned by Lu Zhe, then he wouldn't want to make any achievements.

As if a scar had been dug open, Lu Zhe raised his head. He was extremely dazed in his heart, and muttered, "Did you do something wrong? Or did it too soon? After all, the Qin State is still very powerful, and ...... And the First Emperor is still alive and well. I always say that others are killing themselves, am I not killing myself by doing this? ”

Yan Bi didn't hear what Lu Zhe was talking to himself. However, he could see from Lu Zhe's demeanor that he was confused.

"The state of Qin may be as the main general said, but he can't bear to want those undercurrents to spring out of the light, and then sweep away the rebellion in one fell swoop." Yan Bi analyzed one by one: "But do you think, is it that easy? If the rule of the Qin State is stable, if all the places really belong to the Qin State, how can anyone raise their arms and follow the clouds? ”

Lu Zhe is confused if he doesn't know the way!

Yan Bi's language became a little intense: "He has not been to Guanzhong, Longxi and other places, but he has talked with the soldiers in the two places in the army. From some of their words, he heard something important. The king of Qin became the first emperor, and then not only did Guanzhong, Longxi and other places pay extremely heavy taxes, but also have too many forced labor. The Qin people are still like this, what about the Qiantou of the original Six Kingdoms? It must be even more unbearable! ”

After the reunification, it seems that Li Si, Feng Zai and others all suggested that the first emperor give the people a rest and recuperation, but they did not get advice?

Before Lu Zhe set off from Xianyang, he remembered that the central government did not reduce taxes and reduce forced labor in Guanzhong, which was affected by the floods, and the people surprisingly did not have any public resentment boiling, on the contrary, it seemed extremely quiet?

Sometimes it is much better to burst out than to accumulate, and not speaking does not mean that there is no appeal. Lu Zhe had been wondering what the old Qin people in Guanzhong, Longxi, Beidi, and so on would sit idly by when Qin died, but now that Yan Bi said that, he felt that it was a kind of indifference formed by the long-term accumulation of anger and resentment.

“…… Since this is the case, then you might as well maintain the current situation for the time being, as long as the people of Nanjun are you, no matter what the attitude of the Qin State is after the defense system is established, you can also deal with it calmly at that time! The paleness on Yan Bi's face disappeared, replaced by a sickly flush: "If you think there is a hidden danger, you can remove those people from the military power first." You can say the same thing about the current Nanjun, and the removal of some people's military power is just a sentence, isn't it? ”

Lu Zhe didn't hear what Yan Bi said before, but it sounded like a suggestion to delay time, and even if the Qin State regarded the people of Nanjun as rebellious and wanted to eliminate it, he would fight back forcefully or something.

"Whose soldiers are dismissed?" Lu Zhe stopped thinking nonsense, "Su Lie and other officers from the Qin people? ”

Yan Bi nodded desperately.

"Nonsense!" Lu Zhe refuted: "I am also a Qin person, have I been relieved of my military power?!" ”

For a moment, Yan Bi was stunned, if Lu Zhe didn't mention it at this moment, he really forgot that the main general was also a Qin person.

Lu Zhe, who had no idea in his heart, sighed lowly: "Now I can only take one step at a time." (To be continued......)
