Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 834 Chen Di Shi Ming
  After briefly discussing with Nianduan about the Yuhua Sword Master, Gu Xun didn't rush to go to Duan Murong to talk about it.

One by one, don’t worry about this, it’s just a good excuse to keep it at home as a souvenir.

He has other things that need Nian Duan's help, but he needs to make some extra preparations, so he can't take care of them at the moment.

At this time, the court has decided that 200,000 Li Xin's troops and 50,000 Mengtian's troops will be dispatched soon. The first thing he needs to solve now is Chen Di's matter.

In the garden of the Imperial Prefecture, Gu Xun stood beside an artificially dug pool, holding a handful of fish food in his hand and throwing it away, causing the fish in the pool to compete for food.

"Zhang Han, did you get anything from Mr. Changping?" Gu Xun asked Zhang Han beside him with erratic eyes while feeding his carp.

Zhang Han bowed slightly and replied, "Sir, I have gained a little bit."

"In the past month, I have discovered that not only spies from the Shadow Guard family are active in Chendi."

"Oh." Gu Xun didn't pay much attention and replied casually, "Who else? A snare?"

If Ying Zheng paid attention to this matter, he would definitely send someone to investigate. It is normal for more forces to emerge.

Zhang Han immediately answered, "There is a snare, but it's not just their people. In addition, there are at least two people."

"After detailed investigation by the general, it can be determined that one of them is Chang Pingjun's manpower, but the last one... the general is incompetent and has never found out the clues."

"That's interesting." Gu Xun smacked his lips, showing a hint of surprise.

This small piece of land turned out to be so busy, it was really a mess.

However, this mysterious force is so powerful that even the Shadow Guards didn't find any clues about it.

After Gu Xun thought about it in his mind for a while, he decided to ignore its origin.

How many forces in the world can hide from the Shadow Secret Guards?

The answer is self-evident. There is no one person that can be avoided, so there is no need to investigate further.

"Besides these, is there anything else?" Gu Xun asked again, "You should know that what I want now is more practical information."

Zhang Han quickly replied, "Yes!"

"Master Meng gave me some advice before, and the general sent a group of experts to Daze Mountain, and finally discovered some clues."

"A large number of personnel at the Dazeshan Farmhouse Headquarters have been withdrawn, and at least tens of thousands of people have gone missing."

"After Lord Changping took over Chendi, a large number of immigrants emerged in the area, either temporarily or permanently for various reasons."

"The general suspects that this group of people may have secretly sneaked into Chen Di to cause trouble."

I have to say here that the deception of farmers' disciples is indeed high enough. They usually look almost identical to ordinary people working and farming, making it difficult to distinguish them.

It’s no wonder that the Shadow Guard’s spies searched the little Chen County inside and out several times, but never found any major problems.

After all, if the local chief official manages the place in an orderly manner, it will inevitably attract people from other areas to live and settle.

The ancients were reluctant to leave their hometown and move home, but after all, survival was the most important thing, not to mention that during this time of war, there were many displaced refugees everywhere.

If he hadn't discovered the movement at the farmhouse, Zhang Han wouldn't have discovered what was wrong that he had missed before.

After hearing this, Gu Xun also looked astonished, "So it's been arranged here!"

When Qin and Chu went to war, Chen Di was a key area for the army's military supplies. Gu Xun initially suspected that Lord Changping would destroy the army's supply line.

But with the men under his command, it is almost impossible to destroy the supply line.

Even if large amounts of military supplies are transported within the country, enough food transport troops must be deployed. Considering the scale of more than 200,000 soldiers, there will be at least two to three thousand people.

Even if Lord Changping raised a banner to rebel in Chen Ying and stirred up the old people of Chu, it would be difficult to do this. Even in the first step of raising a flag for rebellion, he may not be able to succeed.

But with the help of the farm disciples, everything is no longer a problem.

Whether it is mental arithmetic or not, all Changping-kun's plans will be realized smoothly and according to his expectations.

"The peasant family... lives up to its reputation as the largest gang in the world. Tens of thousands of people regard it as nothing more than idleness."

"Haha... What a 'General, Prime Minister, Prince, I'd rather have the seed'!" Gu Xun showed a faint smile and commented without salt.

Although the slogan "Farmer's Family" has a strong revolutionary flavor, to Gu Xun, this is the family that should be eliminated among all the disciples.

Princes, generals, and ministers may not necessarily have the talent, but one day, if a farmer becomes a general, minister, or prince, he may not be better than others.

A chivalrous person breaks the law with force, and a peasant family cannot represent the people after all.

Of course, dealing with farmers is actually the most troublesome.

Although it is simple and quick to kill him in one go, he will end up with endless troubles.

Because no matter what, farmers are the people who know the most about mulberry farming in the world. Every year during spring planting and autumn harvest, the role played by one hundred thousand farm disciples cannot be underestimated.

Moreover, after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, the most important thing was to appease the old territories of the Six Kingdoms, and it could not spare the energy to arrange the various schools of thought, and had to put them back later.

Zhang Han lowered his eyes and didn't say a word, but he felt quite emotional in his heart.

Because when he reported these things to his own king before, he heard similar words.

These two monarchs and ministers, who could hardly get along well with each other, unexpectedly got along at some point.

Shaking his head, Gu Xun put aside the farm matters for the time being, waiting to deal with them all together in the future, and then asked Zhang Han:

"Does the palace know about this?"

Zhang Han nodded frankly.

There was a tacit understanding between the superiors and subordinates regarding the tip-off, and Zhang Han was not afraid that Gu Xun would be dissatisfied.

"How did His Majesty King Qin react?" Gu Xun asked with great interest.

Zhang Han hesitated for a moment and replied truthfully, "Your Majesty, you have not done anything to deal with it."

Gu Xun nodded, already understanding that he and Ying Zheng had reached a certain level of tacit understanding on this matter.

This is really normal. One of them is doing it for his students and the other is doing it for his son. There is no conflict in their interests.

"It seems I have to go to the palace." Gu Xun sprinkled all the fish food in his hand, clapped his hands, and made the next arrangements.

………………

The next day, Gu Xun first entered Zhangtai Palace and then Meng Mansion, and made all arrangements.

The next day, the King of Qin issued an edict, ordering his eldest son Fusu to go to Chen County in person to supervise the war on behalf of the King.

A month later, in early autumn, the supplies for the army were raised, and an army of 250,000 had been assembled. Under the leadership of Li Xin and Meng Tian, ​​troops were sent from Chen Ying to attack Chu in two groups.

Li Xin led his main army to attack Pingyu, and Meng Tian led his second king to attack Qi.

At this time, the Chu State was still in the midst of internal strife. The king, ministers, and nobles were in constant disputes and chaos.

At the same time, Fusu, the eldest son of Qin State, set out from Xianyang and went to Chenying on behalf of the King of Qin to supervise the battle and boost the military power.
