Lord Changping was sitting in Yecheng's official residence, looking at the soldiers holding torches below, and said in a deep voice
"I am the son of the Chu State. Today Qin is attacking the Chu State. I cannot accept it. Now I am preparing to lead the three cities of Nanjun back to the Chu State. You were officials of the Chu State in the past. Are you willing to come with me?"
"We are willing. We and the people under our rule miss our homeland day and night. However, the power of Qin and the stupidity of the courtiers of Chu have left us homeless. Now that you are willing to take us back to your homeland, you must support your return. Chu Kingdom, please restore Chu Kingdom." The officials below shouted in unison.
Lord Changping looked at the people below and smiled with satisfaction, stood up and said
"Li Xin and Feng Wuze's army only carried food and grass for five days. Now that three days have passed, they ordered the teams transporting food and grass to stop transporting food and change flags at the same time!"
"promise!"
For a time, the Chu flags in the three cities of Nanjun were replaced by the Chu flags, and Lord Changping also led the army to prepare to besiege the Qin army with the Chu army. However, when Lord Changping rushed to the Qin army's camp, he found that here There was no one left, and the whole camp was deserted. Li Xin stood on the hillside and looked at the meeting of Lord Changping below with fear on his face.
"Fortunately, Mr. Sir reminded me, otherwise all of our 50,000 troops would have died inexplicably." After Li Xin finished speaking, his face was full of anger. He didn't understand why Qin wanted to rebel against Qin because it treated Lord Changping well. .
"General, are we going to rush down and kill the rebels?" Dunruo asked.
"No, attack Wei first. We can't delay national affairs." Although Li Xin wanted to charge down and kill Lord Changping, for the sake of Qin's plan, he could only rein in his horse and turn towards him. Depart in the direction of Wei State.
"promise."
The mighty Qin army evacuated. Lord Changping in the military camp looked at the empty military camp and felt bad in his heart. He knew that if he was just such a stubborn and rebellious Xiang Yan, he might not really accept him, and would even suspect that he was Feigning surrender, the armored guards beside him looked at Lord Changping.
There was a fierce look on Lord Changping's face, and he glanced at the guards. The guards immediately understood that they were wearing Qin army armor. As long as someone died, no one would know who it was. What's more, in the past month, Changping The number of people you can win over is limited. Only 5,000 of the tens of thousands of people here are loyal to Lord Changping. The others either have their own agendas or were forced to join.
Lord Changping walked towards the big tent, and the guards winked at the few people around him. Suddenly the sound of killing was loud in the camp. After the fighting in the big camp, the Chu army also came. Xiang Liang looked at the big tent covered with corpses. Ying and Lord Changping who were covered in blood.
"Master, where is the Qin army?" Xiang Liang saluted Lord Changping and said.
"The Qin army was defeated. I cut off the Qin army's food and grass beforehand. I falsely conveyed Ying Zheng's will and asked them to retreat. I suddenly broke out when they were reorganizing. Li Xin and Feng Wuze fled in a panic." Changping Jun said calmly. said.
Xiang Liang looked at the camp and then at Lord Changping. Although there were some problems with what Lord Changping said, looking at the corpses and weapons in the camp and the fact that the Xiang family really needed an ally now, Xiang Liang said nothing more. Instead, let the Chu army begin to clean the battlefield and take over the defense of the three cities of Nanjun.
After the three cities of Nanjun were taken over, the entire Qin State was shaken, and the whole world was shocked for a while. Changping Lord of Qin led the three cities of Nanjun to rebel against Qin, and was assassinated by the 50,000 Qin army who attacked Chu. While everyone was waiting for Qin to send a large army to attack Chu, news came out that Yang Duanhe and Feng Wuze were attacking Wei. Xu Di, Shangcai and other places were captured one after another.
For a time, all the melon-eating people could not understand this war. At first, Han and Wei could understand when they attacked the Chu army, but since Xiang Yan gave up the field battle between Juyang and Lianpo, the entire battlefield began to go abnormal. Lord Changping The Qin State rebelled against the Wei State, which made the melon-eating people more and more confused.
Xianyang, in the palace of the King of Qin, Ying Zheng sat paralyzed on the throne, looking at Zi You opposite, asking with pain and confusion on his face
"Teacher, why do you think he betrayed me? Betrayed Qin? Qin treated him well. Fusu is his nephew and the queen is his sister. Isn't he satisfied? Do you want me to give him the throne?" ?"
"Your Majesty, why bother with this issue? Lord Changping was originally the son of Chu State. He came to Qin State because he was excluded. Because Qin State's relatives are from the Chu family, he can get power here. As for Fusu and Queen, they are just It was just a tool for him to gain more power for stability. Although Lord Changping served in the Qin Dynasty, his heart was always in Chu. This was the information Luo Wang found after Lord Changping rebelled. It was all the information that Lord Changping contacted Xiang Yan. His correspondence and the fact that he hid Yan Dan." Ziyou handed the letter to Ying Zheng.
These letters were obtained by Luo Wen from the mouths of the people in the Changping Lord's Mansion. As for the letters, Luo Wen of Chu State sneaked into Xiang Yan's house and stole them. Ying Zheng looked at these letters and closed his eyes in despair, and suddenly opened his eyes to read Zhu Ziyou asked
"Are Li Xin and Feng Wuze okay?"
"They are fine. Changing the route to attack Wei was a temporary matter. Lord Changping didn't know it. He just let Lord Changping occupy the abandoned camp. Before that, there was news from Nanjun that Lord Changping contacted the local defenders and rebel militia, so I I sent a warning to Li Xin, who was pretending to attack Wei, and told him to be careful of Lord Changping. When the food and grass were cut off, I believe Li Xin should have noticed Lord Changping's abnormality, and he should be fine," Ziyou said.
"That's good. If our Qin State's fifty thousand soldiers died because of his rebellion, I can't escape the blame. Sir, I want to attack Chu to avenge this." Ying Zheng said with red eyes.
"No, Your Majesty. Now Yang Duanhe and Feng Wuze have just captured the two cities of Wei. If we attack Wei again now, it may prompt Han, Wei, and Chu to stop their troops and make peace to fight against Qin together. Moreover, Lord Changping rebelled against Qin and returned to Chu, which is not good for us." It's a bad thing." Ziyou said.
"Teacher, what's your explanation?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Changping Jun is the son of the Chu State and has the right to inherit the Chu King. Now he has the support of the Chu State General Xiang Yan and the credit of leading Nanjun to return to Chu. In addition, Changping Lord was quite famous in the Chu land in the past. I'm afraid that Lord Changping's prestige is the same at this time. I heard that King Xiong Han of Chu is not Xiong Wan's son, but the son of Lord Chunshen. At that time, Li Yuan gave his sister to Lord Chunshen for power. Later, after Li Huan became pregnant, Lord Chun Shen dedicated this person to King Xiong Wan of Chu." Ziyou said.
"So sir, you suspect that Xiong Han is not the child of King Chu Xiong Wan?" Ying Zheng looked at Ziyou and asked.
"It doesn't make any sense whether Xiong Han is the child of the former King of Chu Xiong Wan. Lord Changping rebelled against Qin for the position of King of Chu. So it doesn't matter whether Xiong Han is a member of the Chu clan or not, Lord Changping will shape him into Chun Shen. Your child." Ziyou said.
"Xiong Han has the support of Prime Minister Li Yuan. After Li Yuan assassinated Lord Chunshen, he obtained the power left by Lord Chunshen. Therefore, the teacher wanted to use the fight between Lord Changping and King Xiong Han of Chu to divide the Chu Kingdom. !" Ying Zheng's eyes sparkled.
The two biggest enemies of the Qin State on the road to unifying the world are the State of Zhao and the State of Chu. Especially the State of Chu. It has a large land, rich resources, a large population, strong national power, and hundreds of thousands of troops. The general Xiang Yan is a famous general, so the State of Chu must It is more difficult to bite than the Zhao State. If the Chu State's court is divided because of this, and they attack each other and continue to fight internally, it will be much easier to attack the Chu State.
"Your Majesty, don't forget that there are three clans of Qu Jingzhao and a young master in Chu State." Ziyou said with a slight raise in the corner of his mouth.
Ying Zheng looked at Ziyou without saying anything, and Ziyou continued.
"Qu Jingzhao's three clans have always wanted to control the entire Chu State, but the Chu kings of all dynasties have used ministers and the three clans to check and balance. In the original Chu State, Chun Shenjun and Xiang Yan checked and balanced the three clans in government affairs and the army respectively, and Although Gongzi Fuchu appears to be working cautiously in the Chu Kingdom, according to Luo Wang's news, he has been in contact with the Qu Jingzhao clan and wants to gain their support and take the position of King of Chu.
So now there are three forces fighting each other in the Chu State. King Xiong Han and Prime Minister Li Yuan, Lord Changping and Xiang Yan, Qu Jingzhao's clan and Gongzi Fuchu. The three forces, the Xiang family and Qu Jingzhao's clan are feuding, and Xiang Yan is also the biggest obstacle for the Qu Jingzhao clan to control Chu, so the two sides must fight to the death. Lord Changping and Fu Chuwei both hold the throne, and Xiong Han is their enemy. The conflicts between the three parties are destined to be irreconcilable. , when the war stops, the entire Chu State will surely fall into civil strife.
A three-party fight would consume the Chu State's national power more than a two-party fight, especially since all three parties had military power. If planned properly, it would not be impossible to split the huge Chu State into three. "
Ying Zheng looked at Ziyou, and he thought of the saying that the person who steals the hook is a thief, and the person who steals the country is a prince.
"Teacher, you are good at planning. Lord Changping and Xiang Yan are not incompetent people. I am afraid they will strike first. If Lord Changping wins over the Qu Jingzhao clan again, and if Lord Changping is allowed to integrate the Chu State, I am afraid that the Chu State will threaten them." Bigger than now." Ying Zheng said with some worry.
"Your Majesty, you can let Luo Wen secretly support Young Master Fu Chu, so that Qu Jingzhao's family and Fu Chu can be completely tied together. Moreover, Changping Lord is not an incompetent person, and Qu Jingzhao's family wants a puppet to help them expand their own interests. Puppet, and then send people to secretly assist Li Yuan and Chu King Xiong Han so that the gap between the three parties will not be too big, and no one can annex the other." Ziyou said.
"It's feasible. I'll let someone else arrange it. But teacher, what about Fusu?" Ying Zheng asked again as the smile on his face disappeared. Fusu was the one who was most affected by Changping Jun's rebellion. Changping Jun's rebellion was tantamount to Fusu, the heir, has left behind an unavoidable piece of dirty information, which may affect Fusu's future.
"This matter is easy to solve. His Highness the Crown Prince has reached the age of enlightenment. It is time to determine the candidates for the Crown Prince, Grand Tutor and Young Master." Zi You said with a smile.
"Teacher, do you want to be the crown prince?" Ying Zheng asked.
If Ziyou is the most suitable candidate for the Taifu, it can also stabilize the courtiers. As the prince, the prince of Qin, and the future monarch, Fusu's uncle is a traitor, which is a fatal black spot for a prince. , the ministers would also think wildly because of this, and began to wonder whether Fusu's position as prince would be unstable. If Ziyou came to serve as the prince, it would be enough to suppress other ideas of the ministers.
"I'm not suitable. His Royal Highness Fusu will be the monarch of the new empire in the future. His tutor is already a person who taught him how to become an emperor, and I'm not suitable for raising children." Ziyou said, even his The three apprentices were all taught by his teacher Xunzi. He was obviously a hands-off shopkeeper. As for Fusu? Should we also leave it to Xunzi to teach?
"Then who does the teacher want to come?"
"Marquis Wenxin." Ziyou said. The candidate for the Tutor must not only teach Lu Buwei, but more importantly, he must be able to accumulate enough power and team for Fusu, and he must also be able to convince the public. Lu Buwei has been operating in Qin for decades and has a very high reputation in the hearts of the people of Qin. Having him as the Tutor can completely suppress the risk of Changping Lord's rebellion and allow the ministers to see clearly who is the future.
Ying Zheng was slightly stunned. He actually forgot about Lu Buwei. He didn't understand the matter of teaching Fusu how to become a qualified emperor, but Lu Buwei definitely knew how to teach him. Ying Zheng was also taught by Lu Buwei to a certain extent.
"Okay, I will give the order now." Ying Zheng stood up and said.
Soon an edict from the Crown Prince and the Young Master was issued from the Palace of Qin. It was sent out personally by Zhao Gao. After Lu Buwei got the edict from the Crown Prince, his whole face glowed red and he seemed to be ten years younger. Lu Buwei would feel particularly comfortable when he thought that he could personally teach Fusu. The prince and tutor were qualified to teach Fusu personally. For Lu Buwei, no one was more important than Fusu, including Ying Zheng.
The candidate for the crown prince's young master was Zi You. Zi You didn't have much reaction after receiving the edict. Anyway, it was destined to be Lu Buwei's job to teach Fu Su. The best he could do was to maintain stability among the courtiers, especially those within the King of Qin's family, in name only. , because the strength of the Chu family within the King of Qin's family is not weak, and now they are all worried about whether they will be implicated in the affairs of Lord Changping. Ziyou became the young master, which shows that Ying Zheng is not ready to attack the Chu family.
After the positions of the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince were determined, the turmoil caused by Lord Changping's rebellion against Qin also stopped.
After seeing Lu Buwei take Fusu to the Mansion of Marquis Wenxin, all the ministers understood Lu Buwei's attitude. If you want to move Fusu, you must first kill Marquis Wenxin. Seeing a tutor like Lu Buwei, some have The minister who had other ideas also gave up the idea.
Just kidding, Lu Buwei and Ziyou have become Fusu's teachers. Who dares to have other ideas about the position of Fusu's crown prince? Although Lu Buwei is old and doesn't have many days to live, Ziyou is still young, and you know Lu Buwei. Will he pull you on the road together when he can't stand it anymore?
Anyway, Fusu is still young and has not yet established a team. Moreover, the future is so bright and the position is so stable. They are stupid to think of changing Fusu's position. As the turmoil on Fusu disappears Afterwards, good news came from the Wei State. Yang Duanhe, Li Xin and Feng Wuze captured the entire Xu Di and Shangcai. Now South Korea is completely surrounded by the Qin State.
