My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 425 Freedom can never be killed! Have I become the founder of thieves?

October 15th, the twelfth year of the reign of Emperor Qin.

Echeng County Magistrate's Office.

Yao Jia sat opposite Ying Chengyu and said apologetically: "The current situation can no longer be broken by lobbying."

"There is currently no good strategy in the court for Chang'an Lord to refer to."

"The king means that Lord Chang'an can do whatever he wants!"

Da Qin has already done everything it should and can do.

Chu State does not have the best sixth man like Guo Kai, and the King of Chu is not an easy person to carry the cud.

With the efforts of King Chu of Chu, the gaps between the kings of Chu and the powerful, and between the powerful and the powerful were temporarily bridged.

Therefore, after discussing for a day and night, the monarchs and ministers of Great Qin could only come to a regrettable conclusion.

They really have no choice or ability to provide more help to Ying Chengyu!

Ying Chengyu said sincerely: "All the ministers in the court have worked hard for our great Qin, day and night."

“Isn’t it unreasonable to ask my colleagues to come up with clever ideas even though they have already tried their best?”

"The rest is the responsibility of us generals!"

Yao Jia stood up, held his hands in his hands, and said seriously: "Since Chang'an Lord has invited me to come here, I must be of some use to you."

"The king ordered me to obey the orders of Lord Chang'an in this battle. I can carry out Lord Chang'an's orders first and then report them!"

"If you need anything, Lord Chang'an, please don't hesitate to give me your instructions!"

Ying Chengxuan was a feudal lord and the commander-in-chief, but Yao Jia was also a minister.

Although there is a huge gap between the two in terms of origin, real power, etc., in terms of rank alone, the two are completely different.

Now, although Yao Jia is willing to serve as an assistant, Ying Chengyu cannot accept it calmly. He immediately stood up and returned the courtesy: "Yao Shangqing is so polite!"

"I am very lucky to have Yao Shangqing's help in this battle!"

Yao Jia couldn't help but smile.

But soon, Yao Jia couldn't laugh anymore.

Just because Ying Chengxuan asked: "Since the king has allowed Yao Shangqing to play first and then play later, I wonder if Yao Shangqing can play after I give my permission?"

Yao Jia's smile slowly faded: "Chang'an Jun, what do you mean?"

Ying Chengyu said solemnly: "To keep it secret!"

Yao Jia frowned slightly: "Chang'an Lord, do you think people in the court will leak secrets?"

Ying Chengxuan nodded matter-of-factly: "Isn't it that Yao Shangqing doesn't know that Xiangbang is the younger brother of the current King of Chu?"

"Or maybe you don't know how many Chu people there are in our Great Qin Dynasty?"

"Ordinary matters can be conveyed by messengers and postmen, but confidential matters can only be conveyed through waiters to avoid being known to the enemy!"

"If Yao Shangqing wants to submit a memorial, he must either go through a summons or wait until the general gives permission, so as not to miss the important event."

Ying Chengxuan looked at Yao Jia sincerely: "Yao Shangqing can also report this statement to the king first and wait for the king's order."

Looking at Ying Chengyu's calm eyes, Yao Jia smiled and nodded: "Since the king has ordered me to obey the orders of Lord Chang'an, I will do as I please."

"I just don't know what Lord Chang'an wants me to do?"

Although Ying Chengyu's request does not comply with the "Qin Law", even Ying Zheng has great trust in Ying Chengyu, so Yao Jia is very nervous!

And Yao Jia really didn't think that Ying Chengyu could use his diplomatic talent to make a move to subvert the unification.

Ying Chengyu turned around and sat down, and said softly: "I need Yao Shangqing to go deep into the Chu land to find the boy servants, mountain bandits and water bandits."

Yao Jia lost the ability to control his expression, and his eyes showed deep astonishment.

What the hell?

You ask the officer who ranks as the ninth prince to put down his work and come all the way to Hubei City.

As a result, I was asked to find the slave army, thieves and bandits?

Do you think this is consistent with my status as an official?

Yao Jia couldn't help but ask: "Tong servant army and thieves?"

Ying Chengyu nodded and said: "Not bad!"

"The candidate has compiled a list of boy servants and bandits that can be contacted."

"I will need Yao Shangqing to order his men to go deep into Chu territory and get in touch with these boy servants and thieves."

"And bribe them with a lot of money and ask them to attack Xiangcheng and other common people's towns!"

Yao Jia frowned: "The boy servant army and bandits were already scattered, and they just experienced an encirclement and suppression last year."

"Chang'an Lord, do you think those boy servants and thieves are really capable of attacking people's food towns?"

Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "Last year's siege indeed killed many child servants and bandits."

"Of course, freedom can never be killed!"

"Last year's encirclement and suppression campaign by the Chu army did not cause a fundamental blow to the boy servants and bandits in Chu. Instead, it intensified the boy servants and bandits' dissatisfaction with the court, and cut off the private relations between some dignitaries and the boy servants and bandits. The connecting threads.”

"Judging from their strength, the bandits and child servants of Chu are capable of completing the mission of our Great Qin."

"From an emotional point of view, the Chu bandits and child servants will also be happy to complete this task for our Great Qin."

Suppressing bandits has always been a dangerous and troublesome matter.

Because the root of thieves has never been that piece of land, but a group of lawless people!

People can run!

When the limelight is not right, these people will instantly turn into honest farmers and sneak into the fields, or they will run away and escape.

As long as a group of thieves escape, these thieves will force more people to become thieves because of their violence and confusion!

Even after a comprehensive bandit suppression, new bandits will appear within a few years, let alone Chu State's half-finished bandit suppression operation last year.

According to Zhuang Jia's information, the Chu State's bandit suppression campaign last year indeed killed nearly 30% of the bandits.

But as the saying goes, bandits are like a comb and soldiers are like a grate.

The army caused even greater damage to Qian Shou than the bandits. As a result, after the bandit suppression operation, the number of bandits in Chu State quickly increased by nearly 50%, causing the number of bandits in Chu State to increase instead of decreasing!

It can fully meet Ying Chengyu's requirements.

Yao Jia's frown deepened: "If Yunmengze, Penglize and other water bandits in Daze are not severely damaged, they may indeed pose a threat to the people's livelihood."

"However, the vast majority of people live far away from the Daze bandits' dens, and they maintain inextricable ties with the surrounding bandits."

"If we want to use the hands of child servants and bandits to affect the food and towns of these people, I'm afraid we can only mobilize multiple groups of bandits from a distance and attack together."

"But bandits are bandits after all. How can they march on a large scale in Chu State!"

Ying Cheng asked with a smile: "Why not?"

Yao Jia subconsciously wanted to ask: Is this still necessary?

Bandits cannot be seen in the light. If they move in on a large scale, they will be discovered by the Chu army!

But when the words came to his lips, Yao Jia swallowed them back.

Yao Jia looked at Ying Chengyu, and although he was asking, he said firmly: "Chang'an Lord wants these thieves to be seen by the Chu army?!"

Ying Chengqiao smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

"I don't expect these boy servants and thieves to burn and kill many pieces of people's food."

"As long as a few people's towns are burned and killed, a large number of boy servants and thieves are flocking to the towns of other nobles."

"What do Yao Shangqing think these nobles will think?"

"When the boy servants in the common people's food town come into contact with the boy servants and know what kind of life the boy servants are living now, what should the boy servants think?"

Yao Jia finally caught up with Ying Chengyu's train of thought, and his voice became a little more exciting:

"First, the common people will be worried that their food and towns will also become the targets of thieves, thereby damaging the interests of their own clan."

"After all, in this battle, all the people are trying their best to mobilize their clansmen to participate in the battle. There are not many clansmen who can protect the city."

"Secondly, the reason why the Chu State eliminated bandits and child servants last year was because many child servants obtained the Chang'an plow from Lord Chang'an."

"In order to prevent more child servants from taking control of the Chang'an plow, to prevent damage to the existing order, and to avoid longer-term damage to the interests of the people, the Chu State just sent troops to suppress the bandits."

"Nowadays, a large number of bandits and boy servants appear near the people's homes and towns. This shows that the Chu State failed to suppress the bandits, and the long-term interests of the people may have been compromised."

"Thirdly, child servants from all over the country are likely to be attracted by the boy servants, which will lead to a large-scale flight of child servants."

"This will not only harm the interests of the people, but also cause internal turmoil in the Chu State!"

In the last battle, Ying Chengyu detonated the conflict between the nobles of Chu State and the nobles.

In this battle, Ying Chengxuan continued to intensify the conflict between the nobles of Chu State and the servants.

Yao Jia could even imagine how "chaos" the Chu Kingdom would be if Ying Chengyu's strategy was really implemented!

And quelling chaos requires strength!

Yao Jia's voice was full of excitement: "For the benefit of their own clan, the people will be inclined to withdraw their troops."

"In order to maintain the stability of Chu State, King Chu of Chu will also ask for the withdrawal of troops."

"In this way, Chu State will have enough troops to quell internal unrest."

"Otherwise, the turmoil in Chu State will surely intensify until it is out of control!"

Yao Jia suddenly stood up in excitement and bowed his hands to Ying Chengyu: "Yao, please be taught!"

Ying Chengyu hurriedly helped Yao Jia up: "Yao Shangqing, please get up quickly!"

"If you want to accomplish this, you will need a large number of lobbyists who can negotiate with bandits and boy servants."

"It's up to Yao Shangqing to do this."

Yao Jia laughed loudly: "It's really lucky for Yao to be able to implement this strategy!"

Ying Chengxuan pulled Yao Jia to sit down again and poured a full cup of wine for Yao Jia with his own hands: "The first policy requires Yao Shangqing's subordinates and lobbyists to do it."

"The second strategy is to trouble Yao Shangqing to take action himself."

Yao Jia looked stunned: "Is there another plan?!"

The monarchs and ministers of Great Qin spent a whole day scratching their hair in Xianyang City, but they couldn't even think of a single strategy.

In the end, when it comes to you, Kuku has only two strategies? !

Who are the courtiers and who are the generals?

Ying Chengyu didn't answer and asked instead: "Does Yao Shangqing know that your reputation has spread far and wide in Chu land?"

Yao Jia laughed at himself: "That would probably be a bad reputation."

Ying Chengyu shook his head: "It's not a bad reputation, it's a good reputation!"

Yao Jia's eyes shone slightly, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

People tend to care more about something the more they lack it.

As the son of the World Supervisor, the great thief of Liang, and the exiled minister of Zhao, Yao Jia longs to be taken seriously and respected, and even more eager to have a good reputation!

Is it...

Ying Chengxuan continued: "Many child servants and thieves are praising Yao Shangqing's name and imitating Yao Shangqing's actions, hoping to become a hero like Yao Shangqing!"

Yao Jia's face turned dark, and he gritted his teeth and asked: "Chang'an Lord is saying that many thieves in Chu are imitating me and intending to become me?!"

"Mr. Chang'an, do you think this is a good name?"

Yao Jia was already feeling very uncomfortable with the title of 'The Great Thief of Liang'.

As a result, without my knowledge, I became known as a 'role model of thieves', and may even become known as the 'grandmaster of thieves' in the future.

You call this a good reputation? !

Ying Chengyu coughed slightly, his eyes a little wandering: "Why doesn't it count?"
