The problem of not having stirrups was quickly exposed in daily training.
Under the fierce impact, without the connection of the stirrups, the cavalry had nowhere to relieve its strength and could not bear it at all.
But obviously, this problem did not trouble the clever old Qin people, and soon the old Qin people found a solution through falling down again and again.
However, this solution is obviously not the best or most perfect. But in the end, the problem of separation of men and horses was solved, and the training of the Qin army's heavy cavalry finally got on the right track.
However, just when everything was moving in a good direction, Meng Ao, as the leader of the heavy cavalry, was recalled to Xianyang by the king's order.
He hurried back to Xianyang, but before Meng Ao could even return to his house, he was captured by the Qin army's elite soldiers and thrown into prison without any trial.
In a not-too-dirty cell, four beds were arranged neatly.
What surprised Meng Ao was that in this cell, he saw several old acquaintances - Fan Sui, Tu Jia and General Wang, whom he regarded as his teacher and father.
Good guys, the three giants of the empire are all here.
Coupled with the fact that Meng Ao now holds the real power, it can be said that all the pillars of Qin's defense are now concentrated in this small cell.
If something happened to these four people, half of the entire Qin State would collapse.
"Old General, what's going on?" Meng Ao, with a dusty face, immediately came to the king and asked in confusion.
"Just sit quietly." Wang was still as cold as ever and cherished words like gold. Even many old soldiers felt that Wang looked more and more like the former Lord Wu An.
Although Meng Ao's expression after hearing this is still the same
He was confused, but he still obeyed his orders: after bowing slightly to Fan Sui and Tu Jia, he silently walked towards the only empty bed.
"Look, you scared the child." Before Meng Ao could continue to speak, Fan Sui on the side spoke first.
Hearing this, Meng Ao also looked curiously at Fan Sui, who was sitting next to him on the bed.
"Master Xiangguo, why are you all..." Meng Ao was so worried that he had to ask this question.
"It's okay. Your General Wang was imprisoned because he failed to complete the Battle of Xinzheng!" Fan Sui said with a calm smile when facing the nervous Meng Ao.
"Ah?" Meng Ao was really a little surprised. Several months have passed since the Battle of Xinzheng. He didn't pursue the case long ago and is only pursuing it now?
Seeing the surprise on Meng Ao's face, Fan Sui seemed to be happier, and then pointed at Tu Jia beside him and said: "Your uncle Tu was imprisoned because he failed to complete the marriage with Zhao Wangkuo."
"Ah?" Meng Ao opened his mouth again.
Can it still be like this?
What's going on! Qin already has no advantage in marrying Zhao, not to mention, didn't Zhao reject it from all other countries? Can someone go to jail?
"Well, as for you?" Fan Sui was still very happy at Meng Ao's surprised expression, and immediately continued: "I guess it's not good to build a heavy cavalry."
"Oh." Meng Ao felt a little depressed after hearing this.
Obviously, in Meng Ao's mind, he did bring a lot of trouble to the country in the process of forming the heavy cavalry. From the troubles in Yiqu to the issue of the integration of man and horse, it really troubled a lot of people and delayed a lot of people. A lot
time.
Seeing this, the king on the side stopped and said: "Don't listen to the Prime Minister, you have already done a good job."
"Ah?" Meng Ao frowned slightly and looked at Wang.
The king raised his head and glanced at Fan Sui, then said: "If you don't believe me, ask the Prime Minister why he is here."
With that said, Meng Ao turned to look at Fan Sui.
The cell was not big, so Fan Sui could naturally hear the king's words clearly, but compared to the gloating just now, Fan Sui was obviously a little jumpy when faced with Meng Ao's gaze.
"General Wang!" Fan Sui shouted angrily.
"Because of corruption." Wang obviously wasn't prepared to give Fan Sui any face, so he immediately said with a smile.
Hearing this, Meng Ao was a little dumbfounded, but he gradually understood.
Although the charges of several people in the prison, including myself, were considered true, they were not worthy of being sent to prison. It was more like the king found a reason that was not a reason to lock up the four of them.
But, why is this?
Seeing Meng Ao thinking, everyone knew that he must have guessed something, so they stopped talking and just waited.
Yes, waiting, waiting for the game outside.
Soon, a guard arrived and announced Fan Sui's name alone.
Fan Sui frowned slightly after hearing this. Logically speaking, when the game outside is over, shouldn't it be a general amnesty for the world, and the four of them can go out together?
How come there is neither amnesty for the world nor the four of them allowed to go out together, but only myself?
Involuntarily, Fan Sui's heart trembled: It seems that everyone else's crimes are exculpable, but his own crimes cannot be exonerated at all.
.
A chill instantly swept over my heart.
"It's true that my old friend won't come!" Fan Sui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The king on the side also stood up at this time, and then asked the visitor: "Your Majesty only sees the Prime Minister."
The guard on the opposite side bowed slightly to the king, but did not reply. Obviously, the king had told him not to say much except to call people.
Seeing this, Wang Ye sighed softly and then sat back on his bed.
After taking two deep breaths and straightening his white clothes, Fan Sui, who was thoughtful, bowed respectfully to the three of them and said, "I'm going to go first."
After saying this, the three of them also stood up to see Fan Sui off respectfully. As the three people bowed, Fan Sui also left with the guards.
Not long after, Fan Sui was brought into the palace.
However, it is not the political hall where King Qin is located, but a washroom.
The eunuch who had been waiting here immediately announced the king's order: "Although Fan Sui has committed a serious crime, he has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. I will clean him up, give him brocade clothes and a jade crown, and see you in the palace!"
With that said, several eunuchs who were waiting for him immediately stepped forward and welcomed Fan Sui into the bathroom.
With just a cup of tea, the former Prime Minister Fan Sui once again restored his graceful and luxurious scenery.
"Prime Minister, your Majesty is already waiting in the Council Hall." The eunuch ordered and bowed slightly, but he was leading the way for Fan Sui.
Looking at the eunuch Ling and the several guards around him, Fan Sui felt a little like the weather and started to play drums.
Without him, brocade clothes and jade crowns can certainly be good rewards, but they are more likely to be buried with him!
On the hundreds of steps to the Yizheng Hall, Fan Sui was already in his mind
I have thought about countless possibilities, but as I am always cautious, I should not hinder the next King of Qin!
Yes.
King Qin is no longer able to survive.
Although there is still enough time to miss him before the deadline in history, with the successive defeats, King Qin's body will naturally not be as healthy as it was in history.
Even if there are still several years to go, as in history, the matter of the crown prince must be put on the agenda.
The terrible thing is that the candidates in King Qin's mind have quietly changed during the defeats in the past few years.
The original prince, Lord An, was acceptable as a conservative king, but if he had to bear the burden of competing with Zhao for the world, it was obviously not possible.
What's more, An Guojun is already nearly fifty years old and is still very weak. If he succeeds to the throne of Qin, I am afraid that the throne will undergo another change in a few years.
King Qin knew very well that every time the throne changes, even if everything goes well, it is the time when a country is at its weakest, let alone changing twice in a short period of time, and chaos is almost inevitable.
But under the current situation, if there is chaos, it will not make any difference to almost surrender the world to Zhao.
Sometimes, the King of Qin was really envious of Zhao Kuo for having such a young and powerful king.
In order for Qin to continue to compete with Zhao, King Qin must use his strong prestige to select a younger and more enterprising king for Qin while he is still alive.
Perhaps due to the inertia of history, the candidate chosen by King Qin was his good grandson, Qin Yiren, who had been a hostage in Zhao and Han!
And because Qin Yiren is not a single person
For a relationship without foundation, the King of Qin must pave a road to the sky for him and cut off all the barbs that may become threats.
As a result, there was a drama of important officials being imprisoned.
It is easy to understand that other barbs can be cut off, but these four pillars cannot be moved. Not only were they unable to move, they were also the guardians of the good grandson left by the King of Qin.
Therefore, the drama of being imprisoned first, and then asking for mercy and pardon from strangers arises spontaneously.
Except for Meng Ao, the four of them obviously understood what King Qin was thinking. Although they didn't know who the final throne would be, they were very cooperative.
I just didn't expect that at the last moment, such an accident would happen.
However, Fan Sui couldn't figure out what went wrong despite racking his brains.
Without waiting for Fan Sui to think too much, under the guidance of the eunuch's order and several guards, they arrived at the political hall.
The four doors were closed, and the sound of wind and rain outside the palace suddenly stopped. There were only King Qin and Fan Sui in the palace!
They are only ten steps apart, and the sound of breathing can be heard!
"I and you are the only ones here! Come and sit down!" King Qin, who was obviously weak, was the first to break the silence.
Fan Sui was still stunned when he heard this, and then he took a few steps and came to the front of King Qin.
In front of the table, which was not that big, there were only two bottles of wine and two glasses.
But the cup in front of Fan Sui was already filled with fine wine.
This is like a "golden bottle of wine with you, no mercy" attitude!
Fan Sui, who stood there blankly, really didn't understand.
A pair of turbid eyes looked straight at the King of Qin who was half lying on the couch. Fan Sui dared to ask puzzledly: "Since I returned to Qin, although I have been greedy and despicable, I have done nothing."
Nothing is considered for the sake of my Great Qin, and my Great Qin's eastward departure was realized one by one under the plans of my ministers. Why is this? "
