At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 123, Li Si’s murderous intention and Xiang Liang’s uprising

Yao Jia saw that the First Emperor refused to admit his mistakes, and immediately jumped out and said: "The Prime Minister's words are wrong. If the remnants of the Six Kingdoms really had this ability, they would not have caused some turmoil only 10 years after the destruction of the country. Moreover, The current rebels are really very few who belong to the clans of the Six Nations, and the rebels are not very strong. Several generals arranged by His Majesty can easily suppress all rebellions.

For example, Wang Li suppressed the Wu Guang rebellion before his defeat. General Li also destroyed the Wei rebels and was almost annihilating them. General Feng and the others even defeated 30 Qi rebels. It can be seen that these rebels are useless. , I, the elite of Great Qin, can suppress them as soon as they arrive. The only one who is really strong is the alien Xu Fan. "

Yao Jia was a native of the Wei State, and his father was a gatekeeper guarding the city gate. He had no social status at that time, and was not reused in the Wei State. He went to the Zhao State, and with his eloquent mouth, he Yao Jia quickly grew into a popular person around King Zhao at that time. Yao Jia was basically present to make decisions on all matters big and small.

At that time, the Qin State was already in power with the First Emperor, and he couldn't wait to attack and destroy the six kingdoms. King Zhao also knew about this situation, so Yao Jia was sent to fight against Qin with Han, Wei, and Chu.

At this time, Qin's detailed work allowed the First Emperor to start from the root of the problem, which was to alienate the relationship between Yao Jia and King Zhao. Sure enough, many places in Zhao State began to spread rumors that Yao Jia was treason, and the King of Zhao angrily drove Yao Jia out of Zhao State.

Although Yao Jia was driven out of Zhao, this did not prevent the First Emperor from appreciating Yao Jia's talent, so he invited Yao Jia to advise him. After being driven away by Zhao, Yao Jia was disheartened. However, as soon as he left Zhao, he was greeted by Qin. Yao Jia was moved to tears and determined to serve the First Emperor wholeheartedly from now on.

When Qin's annexation campaign reached its final moment, when Korea and Wei were on the verge of extinction, Qi accepted more bribes from Qin because of the latter's victory, and was not prepared for an attack. Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei and other countries wanted to unite Get up and deal with Qin. The First Emperor was greatly shocked when he heard the news, and immediately ordered his ministers to negotiate. Yao Jia volunteered to go to the four countries, and Yao Jia used his treasures and clever words to negotiate among the four countries. As expected, the four capitals were unwilling to send troops, but were willing to make friends with Qin. The initial resistance of the Four Kingdoms to Qin disappeared in this way. When Yao Jia came back to report the results, the First Emperor was overjoyed. He granted Jia a thousand tenants' tax in the city and worshiped him as Shang Qing. Then, the First Emperor defeated each of the four kingdoms and made great contributions to unifying the world.

Originally, Yao Jia should be reused by the First Emperor, but Han Fei, who was watching by the First Emperor, looked down on Yao Jia and went to the First Emperor to talk about Yao Jia's reputation. At first, he attacked Yao Jia and bribed the kings of the four kingdoms with gold and silk from the Qin State. He was "using the power of the king and the interests of the country to make diplomacy to the princes." Then he exposed Yao Jia's background, saying that he was "a disciple of the Shijian, a thieves of Liang, and a traitor of Zhao." "Chasing ministers", thinking that rewarding such people heavily is not conducive to "Li Qunchen".

Yao Jia was not a gentleman either. He immediately joined forces with Li Si to tell the First Emperor: "Han Fei is the prince of Han. The king wants to unite the princes, but he will end up with Han or Qin. This is the sentiment of this person. The king does not need it now, but will stay for a long time." After all, it is better to punish him by going through the law than to bring trouble to him."

The First Emperor accepted their statement and ordered Han Fei to be imprisoned for interrogation. Li Si sent someone to send poison to Han Fei and asked him to commit suicide. Han Fei wanted to tell Qin Shihuang his feelings, but he couldn't come in. The First Emperor regretted it after Han Fei was imprisoned, and ordered Han Fei to be pardoned, but it was too late.

At this time, Li Si betrayed Yao Jia again and put all the responsibility for the persecution of Han Fei on Yao Jia. So the First Emperor demoted Yao Jia out of Xianyang and served as the governor of the border county. It was not until recently that he was recalled. After this experience, he understood who was the one who really decided his destiny, so he could please the First Emperor.

After listening to Yao Jia's words, Feng Quji said angrily: "Suppress the rebellion easily, how about you, Doctor Yao, go to the Central Plains to make contributions?"

"This official is not good at military affairs." Yao Jia decisively refused.

Although the rebels seem vulnerable, they are large in number and supported by the people of the six countries. It is not easy to completely eliminate them, not to mention the strong backbone of Xu Fan among them. He wants to return to Xianyang to live in heaven. Years, instead of sweating his own flesh and blood for the great Qin Dynasty.

But Feng Quji continued: "Which one is more important than the Baiyue Hetao or the Central Plains? Could it be that Yao Yushi couldn't figure it out? How could Da Qin suppress the Kwantung rebels if it didn't withdraw its troops from the two places? If it didn't abandon the two places, where would the imperial court's troops come from? With the capital to provide a large army, Yao Yushi can guarantee that Feng Jie and his army of 150,000 can quell the war in the entire Central Plains."

Feng Quji was the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. He understood that the finances of the Qin Dynasty were extremely difficult at this time. Although the Qin soldiers in the Hetao and Baiyue areas were all field soldiers, their consumption was still considerable. After all, they had to build cities, build houses, and open up wasteland. They are not small, and although the troops in the Baiyue Hetao area are mainly people from the Six Kingdoms, the officers and generals under their command are from Qin. A large number of experienced officers were abandoned in the land of Baiyue, which is also a huge loss to the Qin State.

Moreover, the finances of the Qin Dynasty were mainly tilted in these two directions. Because of these two big burdens, plus the expenses of the First Emperor to build palaces, imperial mausoleums, and hundreds of thousands of Qin officials in the court, the finances of the Qin State have always been extremely tight.

Now it is necessary to provide grain, grass and military supplies to the 20-strong army in the Central Plains. At this time, Daqin is really a bit of a camel loaded with goods. Even putting a straw is an unbearable burden, let alone the additional expenses of 20-strong troops.

When it comes to financial problems, Yao Jia dare not speak. Although he returned to Xianyang not long ago, he has a clearer view of Daqin's financial problems at the local level. It is because of financial shortages that local Qin officials will find ways to solve ordinary people's problems. Demoted to a prisoner, because prisoners do things without salary. The huge empire of Da Qin was carried forward by prisoners. But this was just drinking poison to quench thirst, and eventually caused beacon fires all over Kanto.

Now that the imperial court is short of money, expenditures in the Hetao and Baiyue areas cannot be reduced, and it is even more impossible to reduce the expenditures of hundreds of thousands of Qin officials. He does not dare to ask the First Emperor to suspend the construction of palaces and imperial mausoleums. Now there is no solution to this problem. Lian Feng Qu Ji can only dare to say that he will give up the Baiyue and Hetao areas.

The First Emperor said: "Stop the construction of imperial mausoleums and palaces until the country is more prosperous."

After the road to immortality was cut off, the First Emperor felt that his health was deteriorating, and his laziness became more serious. He started to enjoy himself by building palaces, expanding the size of the imperial mausoleums and burials, and preparing for his own world of hell. After all, Now that Da Qin is invincible, and his path to immortality has been cut off, all the First Emperor can do is enjoy himself and take care of his affairs.

The raging war in Guandong this time made him calm down. He understood that the Qin Dynasty was not as stable as he imagined. The remnants of the Six Kingdoms were still trying to stir up troubles in the dark. He could take a look at his country, and he could put his enjoyment and his affairs aside for the time being.

Feng Quji and the other two said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

The First Emperor said: "Now that rebels are everywhere in Guandong, how should the court put down the rebellion?"

Li Si thought deeply: "The imperial court should focus on attacking Xu Fan. Xu Fanchen of Chen County cannot see through him. With a group of rogues, he can actually defeat the elite of our Great Qin Dynasty many times. I heard that this person is still a country master, not the queen of the generals. His military ability is very similar to our Great Qin's former enemy Zhao Li Mu. To deal with this person, we must have absolute power to suppress him. Now that Xu Fan occupies two counties and has more than 20 troops, our Great Qin needs 30. Even troops suppressed him."

Li Si knew that what the First Emperor hated most was the State of Zhao, which had abused him. Back then, the First Emperor wanted to use the State of Zhao as a stepping stone for Qin to unify the world, but was defeated by Li Mu one after another. From then on, the person whom the First Emperor hated the most became Li Mu.

The First Emperor did have an ugly expression after hearing this. The person he hated hearing the most at this time was indeed Xu Fan. Now all the heavy casualties in the Qin Empire were caused by the Chen County rebels. If it weren't for Xu Fan, I'm afraid this rebellion would have been put down long ago.

However, compared to Li Si saying that Xu Fan was like Li Mu, the First Emperor felt that Xu Fan was more like the famous Qin general Bai Qi. Either he would not fight, or he would fight or fight to annihilate him. It was a pity that Xu Fan could not be used by him, so he could only destroy him.

Feng Quji disagreed and said: "Although Xu Fan from Chu is a serious concern of our great Qin, your majesty cannot let go of the rebels in other areas. Not long ago, Zhao rebelled, and the rebel Zhang Er made Zhao Xie, a clan member of Zhao, king. , At this time, there is only the Yan Kingdom without a king in the entire Central Plains. If we let them go, the rebels of the Six Kingdoms will grow bigger."

Yao Jia also said: "Your Majesty, although Xu Fan from Chu is brave, he will eventually occupy the land of two counties. It is difficult to achieve success in a short time. If your Majesty sends the Northern Xinjiang Army to sweep the Kwantung rebels from north to south, even if Xu Fan is finally put down, But I, the Qin Dynasty, use the whole world to deal with Chu. Even if Xu Fan is resurrected and Sun Wu is resurrected, Li Mu will still be defeated."

Although Yao Jia felt that it didn't matter how he suppressed the rebellion, he would oppose what Li Si proposed. He has never forgotten what Li Si used him to make a knife. He recalled the past in the border county and found that Li Si was the one who was most afraid of Han Fei. He was tricked by Li Si and took over all the wrath of the First Emperor. It was Li Si. He poisoned Han Fei, but he became the scapegoat.

Yao Jia was famous for his scheming but was tricked by Li Si. This was the biggest stain in his life. From then on, Li Si became the biggest enemy in his life. Unless Li Si was killed, the stain on him would not be eliminated. .

But Li Si said: "If the court makes things easy first and then makes things difficult, I'm afraid Xu Fan will grow bigger in the Chu region. Compared with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, Xu Fanxiong has a rough strategy and cannot be satisfied with occupying two counties. He will definitely expand to other counties in the Chu region. The remnants of the Chu State will definitely support Xu Fan, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the court will have to recruit 60 troops to pacify the Chu Territory, and it will take several years to quell the chaos in the Chu Territory."

Yao Jia said: "The imperial court can order Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiujiang County and other Chu counties to recruit soldiers. They are not required to take the initiative to attack the rebels. They can only be asked to guard the city and limit the expansion of the rebels. This matter is local. The Sheriff can do a good job.”

Li Si sneered and said, "I'm afraid Doctor Yao hasn't read the information about Chu from Black Ice Platform. After the rebel Xu Fan wiped out 3 Wang Li's troops, he immediately surrendered and accepted the rebels. He gained more than 2 Wang Li's troops." Relying on these rebels, Xu Fan wiped out the 5 troops of Sanchuan County Guards in Zhongmu, and at the same time recruited 4 rebels again. When he led the troops to Xingyang City, the number of rebels had swelled to 8. These 8 people are not agricultural supplies that put down their hoes, but real elites."

Yao Jia couldn't believe it and said: "How is it possible? Isn't Xu Fan afraid of the rebels' backlash?"

Although the Qin State would also recruit troops in the occupied areas, it would at least divide the land and rule it for a few years before it dared to let the local people join the army.

But when the First Emperor asked his attendants to hand over information about Xu Fan to Yao Jia, he was shocked after reading it.

""Chu Zhaonu" and "Alive" There are people in the world who can confuse people's hearts. Could it be that a famous person has taken refuge in Xu Fan?"

But after thinking about it, Yao Jia shook his head and said, "Although famous people are good at confusing right and wrong, their words cannot confuse people."

Li Si knelt down and worshiped the First Emperor and said, "Xu Fan can even bewitch the people of Sanchuan County, let alone the people of Chu. Your Majesty wants the governor of Chu County to recruit troops to resist Xu Fan. I am afraid that these soldiers and horses recruited by the imperial court will be bewitched by Xu Fan and used by him. On the contrary, it will strengthen the rebels."

"Your Majesty, you can learn from history and learn about its rise and fall. The situation of Da Qin at this time is very similar to that of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou State ruled from a small state to a large one. Although our Da Qin is not a small country, it is small compared to the Six Kingdoms. The merchants are dissatisfied with the rule of the Zhou people. , The remnants of the Six Kingdoms were also dissatisfied with our treatment of them by the Qin Dynasty. After King Wu died of illness, the world was in chaos. Wu Geng, the son of King Zhou, joined forces with Uncle Guan, Uncle Cai, and Uncle Huo to lead the remnants of the Shang Kingdom to rebel and almost destroy the Zhou Kingdom. Fortunately, Duke Zhou was a brilliant man and had a rough plan. This stabilized the national destiny of the Zhou Kingdom. Now our country, Great Qin, has also encountered the disaster that happened to the Zhou Kingdom. The Chu State has a long history, a vast territory, a large population, and has been a powerful country for 800 years. Therefore, the Chu people are extremely proud and do not recognize our Great Qin State. Even now, there is a legend circulating in the Chu land that even though there are three households in Chu, the fall of Qin will inevitably come from Chu.

Your Majesty, the Wu Geng of Qin is Xu Fan. If Your Majesty does not pay attention to Xu Fan, he will definitely become a serious problem for our great Qin. "

After listening to Li Si's impassioned speech, the First Emperor was also a little touched. He had never thought that the situation of Qin Dynasty was very similar to the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. The First Emperor was obviously deep in thought. Finally, he decided to recall Meng Tian and ask him about the military leader. people's opinions.

But one thing that the First Emperor and these imperial ministers did not expect was the impact of the Qin army's failure on the world.

Wujun, Xiangfu.

Xiang Bo felt and said: "I can't imagine that Li You's 40-strong army would be completely wiped out by Xu Fan in Zhongmu County. Back then, my father commanded Chu troops, but he only killed Qin troops. This is how Changping Lord cut off the Qin army." The relationship of the back road.”

The Battle of Zhongmou spread extremely quickly, and now it is almost known to everyone in the world. However, many people cannot imagine that the fighting power of the Chenjun Rebel Army could be so powerful. In a frontal battle, 50,000 people annihilated 50,000 people. Since the Qin State There has never been such a defeat since Shang Yang's reform.

Now all the heroes in the world respect Xu Fan as the number one hero in the world. He was the first to oppose Qin, and the first to form an organized army to annihilate the Qin army. Since the army was launched, the Qin army has been annihilated more than 10. This is the combined record of all the anti-Qin righteous men in the world. They are not as good as him alone. Such achievements make the anti-Qin righteous people dissatisfied.

Xiang Yu said anxiously: "Uncle, now all the heroes in the world are rebelling against Qin. We should not hesitate any longer."

Xiang Yu also aspires to achieve the same achievements as Xu Fan, and does not want Xu Fan to be the best.

But Xiang Liang said with an ugly face: "Although the Qin army was defeated, it may not be a good thing for our Xiang family."

He also felt a little regretful at this time. He regretted that he did not listen to his nephew's advice and raise an army six months ago. The result of his hesitation was that Xu Fan became completely powerful in Chu. Now the people of Chu have regarded Xu Fan as their savior.

You must know that the Xiang family can have its current prestige in Chu because Xiang Yan defeated the Qin army. Although he was defeated later, everyone in the world knew that he was guilty of non-war, so the people of Chu pitied him. It is said that his father's reputation gave Xiang Liang the confidence and made him think that he had time to observe the situation in the world before deciding the outcome.

But he didn't expect that Xu Fan would be so fierce. He annihilated 8 Qin troops in two battles. In the eyes of the Chu people, Xu Fan was an enhanced version of Xiang Yan. People like the new and hate the old. Xu Fan became the savior of the Chu people. Xiang Yan's status in the hearts of Chu people naturally declined.

Xiang Yu puzzled: "Why can't it be a good thing? After the uprising, we can join forces with Xu Fan to fight against Qin."

However, Xiang Bo understood why. Xu Fan's influence in Chu Land now covers their Xiang clan. Since the Xiang clan is no longer a clan member of Chu Kingdom, their reputation in Chu Land relies on military affairs, and now Xu Fan Fan Ze took the place of the Xiang clan in the military aspect, and they also occupied the most elite territory in the Chu region. Even Xiang City was on Xu Fan's territory, which naturally allowed Xu Fan to dominate them.

It doesn't matter if the elder brother only rebels against Qin, but the elder brother is a man with great ambitions, and naturally he will not be willing to live under others.

At this time, the steward Xiang Fu said: "Master, the prefect has sent someone to discuss matters with you."

Xiang Liang and the other three looked at each other with excitement in their eyes. Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji, was a rebellious person. A year ago, Xu Fan rebelled in Yang County and quickly captured Chen County, which subsequently triggered the Tian Dan rebellion in Qi. After the local uprising, Yin Tong found Xiang Liang and wanted Xiang Liang, a general, to help him train his troops.

At that time, Xiang Liang felt that God was also helping him by sending him such an angel investor, so he decisively agreed. Xiang Liang would train his troops for more than half a year.

"I'll go see the county guard later!" Xiang Liang said to the housekeeper.

Then he said to Xiang Yu: "Yu'er, follow me to see Yin Tong. You go and take over the soldiers of the camp and be ready to meet us at any time!"

Xiang Bo said: "No!"

Then Xiang Liang took Xiang Yu to the prefect's mansion to meet Yin Tong.

Yin Tong thought Xiang Liang was his favorite general. When he saw Xiang Liang, he took his hand and said, "The entire Central Plains has rebelled, and the six kingdoms of Guandong have restored their kingdoms. This is the moment when God is going to destroy Qin. I heard Strike first and attack later to be controlled by others. I plan to use Qian and Huan Chu as generals to send troops to Donghai County."

Xiang Liang said: "Huan Chu is on the run and I don't know where he is. Only my nephew Xiang Yu knows where he is."

Yin Tong: "Then call your nephew Xiang Yu and ask where Hengchu is."

Xiang Yu entered with a sword. Under Xiang Liang's gaze, Xiang Yu drew his sword.

Only then did Yin Tong realize that something was wrong, and said in a panic: "I am the governor of Daqin County, what do you want to do?"

Xiang Yu ignored him at all, chopped off Yin Tong's head with a sword and said, "I'm going to kill you Qin dogs."

Yin Tong died with eyes closed. He couldn't understand how Xiang Liang dared to do this.

Xiang Liang held Yin Tong's head in his hand and wore Yin Tong's official seal.

Yin Tong's men were greatly panicked and in chaos.

The guards who reacted shouted: "Kill them to avenge the county guard."

But Xiang Yu killed the guard who spoke with a sword on the spot.

"Kill!" Xiang Yu pointed his sword at Yin Tong's personal guards in advance and fought back. The two sides fought all the way from the hall to outside the main hall. Xiang Yu killed hundreds of people along the way, and Yin Tong's personal guards were so frightened that they did not dare to step forward.

At this time, Xiang Bo led his soldiers to surround the governor's mansion. Everyone in the governor's mansion discarded their weapons and surrendered, not daring to continue fighting Xiang Yu.

After killing Yin Tong, Xiang Liang realized that he had to act quickly in order to organize a strong anti-Qin force. He summoned the powerful officials he was familiar with and explained to them in detail the reasons for the uprising against Qin, so as to stimulate their willingness to participate. Soon the entire Kuaiji County responded to Xiang Liang's call and launched an uprising.

Xiang Liang sent messengers to various counties to receive soldiers from the counties under Kuaiji County, and obtained a total of 8,000 elite soldiers. He carefully deployed the heroes in the county and appointed them as captains, marquises, Sima and other positions in order to effectively manage and command the army.

Xiang Liang himself served as the prefect of Kuaiji, and Xiang Yu and Xiang Bo served as the assistant generals. Together they patrolled and occupied the subordinate counties to ensure the stability of their rule. The entire Kuaiji County became Xiang Liang's territory.
