Chapter 248: Change, the First Emperor's Edict

When Lu Zhe, who was facing two intersections, had not yet put his plan into practice, an urgent message from the lieutenant made him both stunned and incredulous.

The center of the Qin State has arrived, not a new reinforcement but a team that issued an edict, and the lieutenant found out that there was such a team by chance, and when he sent an army to kill, the other party identified himself and changed it to capture.

When capturing the 500-strong team, the lieutenant's subordinates soon learned that the top official of the team was the imperial historian Feng Zai, and that there were three other doctors, including Zhao Gao's only daughter, Zhao Wan, who was also in the team.

After being captured, he immediately asked to see the highest official who captured him, and after seeing the lieutenant, he did not have any nonsense and came to the south by name, which was to promulgate that Lu Zhe was promoted from the general of Zhengnan Zhonglang to the general of Zhengnan, and he was directly promoted from Shao Shangzao to Marquis of Che, called Marquis of Lu County.

As for why Zhao Wan is also in the team? According to Feng Zai's statement, the first emperor deigned to marry the lady of the Zhao Mansion in the Che Mansion, and Lu Ao, the doctor among the three doctors, represented the emperor as the main envoy of the marriage, and the other two were the envoys of the marriage, and Lu Zhe could choose the mansion to marry.

If it was some other envoy and lieutenant, he would naturally not care, but this matter was too big, and he didn't dare to delay and directly send a fast horse to report urgently.

What is the situation? The first foot sent a large army to crusade, and the latter sent an edict envoy who was knighted and married?

Oh, there is no such thing as a Qin cha now, from Qin to Song has always been the season when Qin envoys are emperors. Sometimes it is also called an angel, and it is only when there is a name that there is a chincha.

The lieutenant didn't dare to make random ideas, so he urgently sent someone to ask what to do, but this question made Lu Zhe confused.

Thousands of calculations, since the Qin State sent a large army to crusade, there is naturally no room for reversal, no matter what, it indicates that it can only continue to fight until one side is destroyed, this is the custom that the king should have if he does not want to be a minister, Lu Zhe can only fight back or attack, and giving up means seeking death.

Thinking about it, who would have thought that the war has not yet been resolved. The two armies were at war, and suddenly such an incident appeared. Lu Zhe was really stunned the moment he got the report from the lieutenant. His first thought, which came back to his senses, was, "That must be fake!" But after thinking about it, he firmly believed that the lieutenant would never dare to joke about such a thing, and he could not understand what had happened to make things take such an unpredictable turn.

What happened in Xianyang? Or what did the First Emperor experience, or did he have such inconsistent behavior?

Can't guess. Even if Lu Zhe wanted to break his head, he couldn't guess what was going on. He calmed himself down. It took a full two quarters of an hour to give an order: "Summoning Su Lie, Mei Kai, Ji Bu, and Mian Bi ......" The fierce three outside just responded with "Hey". He added urgently, "Call Mr. Xiao over as well." He also sent someone to summon Mr. Kuai urgently. ”

The military generals are above the commander level, and although Xiao He is a newcomer, he has the calmness of an "outsider" that the military generals do not have. The so-called outsider does not mean that Lu Zhe does not treat Xiao He as his own. It's that Xiao He has just come to Nanjun, and he won't have so many subjective judgments in terms of thinking and feelings. As for Zhang Liang, he may have enough knowledge and experience to put forward the proposal, but even if Lu Zhe was moved, he would not invite such an outsider to participate in the discussion of the important matter.

After a while, Su Lie and other generals came over quickly, but the slightly late Lady and Xiao He came together.

Lu Zhe didn't talk nonsense, and let them circulate the official document sent by the lieutenant.

Every martial artist looked at the official letter with an expression of disbelief at first, and then was stunned and confused, among which Ji Bu saw half of it and said "ridiculous, it must be a trick", but Su Lie and Mei Li looked at Lu Zhe directly after reading it.

The clerical man looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and the last word didn't pop out, but Xiao He, who was the last to see it, was shocked at first and then showed a thoughtful expression.

"Tell me, what do you think?" Lu Zhe's face was expressionless, and his tone was even more imperceptible.

Ji Bu, who had resumed his original position, was the first to be impatient: "Lord, do you need to say this?" It must be that the emperor saw that it was unfavorable to go south, and used the small means of giving officials and knights to stabilize us and buy time for Xu Yan in Sanchuan County. ”

Su Lie and Mei Wei nodded in agreement, they also thought from this direction.

The opinion of the military general's side was expressed, and Lu Zhe looked at Mian Biao and Xiao He.

He opened and closed his mouth several times, repeating it a few times, so that Lu Zhe couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "What do you say?" ”

"This ......" did not stutter, but he "this" three times in a row, and it took a moment to organize the language before he said: "It is the imperial historian who is one of the nine kings, and it is an official with a gold seal of two thousand stones." The lady of the CRRC Fuling, who has always been good friends with you and has a marriage contract, is also in the team. "This guy just told the truth, and his attitude was not expressed at all.

"More than 100,000 troops are trapped, and in exchange for a Jiuqing of two thousand stones, this is a very cost-effective deal!" I don't know if history has changed Ji Bu's temperament and way of doing things differently, or if he was originally like this, spitting directly into the air.

Lu Zhe's thoughts were already chaotic, where could he tolerate the noise, patted the long case to warn Ji Bu, and finally looked at Xiao He, who had always had a thoughtful expression.

"He has read the battle report, the Qin army went south to attack twenty days ago, the arrival of 50,000 Qin reinforcements was seventeen days ago, and the Qin army was sixteen days before the outbreak of the epidemic," Xiao He's thinking was very clear, and he asked: "From here to Sanchuan, from Sanchuan to Xianyang, how many days is the fastest?" ”

Mei Kai knew the answer: "Regardless of horsepower, it can be reached in three days at the earliest." ”

Nanjun is about 450 miles away from Xianyang, and the distance between it and Sanchuan County is about the same. The distance between Sanchuan County and Xianyang is about 400 miles. A knight with good riding skills, who does not hesitate to have more than one horse, is not a problem to run one hundred and fifty miles a day. For example, in the Three Kingdoms period, Xiahoudun led a cavalry army without stirrups to run 500 li in three days and 1,000 li in six days.

"Good. Sima Xin took three days to report to Xu Yan in Sanchuan County, and Xu Yan might have delayed a day to forward the report to Xianyang, which took a total of seven days. Xiao He glanced around at his colleagues, and finally looked at Lu Zhe: "Xianyang needs to make a trade-off, with the efficient administrative efficiency of the Qin State, he can make a decision within a day. In the past, He had seen the emperor send a doctor in Pei County, Surabaya County, and the carriage that the doctor was in traveled 900 miles in only seven days. Assuming that Xianyang received this report on the seventh day of the outbreak of the epidemic in Sima Xin's department, and then on the eighth day, the emperor sent people to Nanjun, and they were stopped by the communist generals during this time period, which can be fully explained. ”

Lu Zhe could understand those numbers, but except for Mei Hong and Mian Bi, the few people present seemed to understand a little, and the rest of Ji Bu and Su Lie were completely stupid.

Mei Kai and Mian Biao should understand something, one of them has to be sensitive to numbers when he masters the arrow array itself, and the other has administrative talent and also enters the field to contact numbers. As for Ji Bu and Su Lie, they can explain it if they don't understand it, after all, it is now 218 BC, and there is no "Zhou Ji (bì) Sutra" and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", only one "Sun Tzu Sutra" that circulated in the soldiers' family, and the Mo family and the Yin and Yang family also have their corresponding books on arithmetic.

Xiao He told the "ins and outs", and his words allowed Lu Zhe to grasp the main points more clearly to make judgments.

In general, it was Sima Xin who reported to Xu Yan, and Xu Yan urgently told Xianyang, and then there was something to follow. Now what Lu Zhe needs to think about is whether this matter will be beneficial to him, and what effect it will have in the future, and finally decide whether to meet the edict envoy.

The agreement with Huan Chu has only been twelve days, and Sima Xin has not been invited to fight for several days, and Wu Rui of Changsha County has once again heard the news that he is almost unbearable......

The first emperor was able to dominate the world by relying on the invincible Qin army, but this is not all, Ying Zheng's childhood experience coupled with enough power to take back power from LΓΌ Buwei's hands proves that he will not be a monarch who is driven by the outside world to be angry without moving, his strategy is not lacking in patience, it is unfavorable to go south and there is an outbreak of epidemic in the army, and the use of power and flexibility to deceive or lure is not enough, so that Lu Zhe can withdraw his troops and no longer entangle the troubled Sima Xin's department is what an emperor should do.

Lu Zhe understood that there was a rift, especially if it was impossible for the monarch's army to turn around with his courtiers, but he also needed to have time to breathe. What he should be thinking about now is whether the Qin army will make a comeback after Sima Xin's withdrawal, and if so, how long will it be and how much respite he will have. Or is it that Xu Yan has now organized his army and taken the remaining 150,000 Qin troops from Sanchuan County to the south, and it will come in a few days. After thinking about these things clearly, he can decide whether to be the first emperor or not.

Xiao He has been observing Lu Zhe, whether he will serve wholeheartedly in the future depends on what choices Lu Zhe will make, and what the reasons and thoughts after making the decision are.

"Lord, the equipment transported from Nanling will arrive in the afternoon." Mei Li said a sentence without a beginning or an end.

More than 200 crossbows and bed crossbows, 18 ballistas, 500 sword and shield carts, 100 hook carts used to cross trenches and pull the fence of the camp, and some corresponding stone bullets and giant crossbow arrows, that is, the supplies that will arrive in the afternoon.

"Send someone to ......," Lu Zhe took a deep breath, "send someone to inform the lieutenant, and in two days the team of the edict envoy will be escorted over." He slowly stood up and walked to the map and looked at it for a long time, "Send out scouts again to pay attention to the movements of Mikawa County quickly and closely." He turned to look at everyone, and finally said: "After the ordnance comes, immediately, immediately, regardless of the wear and tear of the equipment, go all out to attack Sima Xin's camp from a distance!"
