Qilao Peak, Jiangjun Cave.
This is a cave exclusively for Jie Jun.
At this time, Jie Jun and Yi Xusong were sitting in the secret room of the cave, drinking and talking.
Although there is not much age difference between the two, Jie Jun is obviously more mature than Song.
Whether it is conversation or city affairs, Jie Jun can show characteristics that are not suitable for his age.
After the two of them had had three rounds of wine and five dishes, Jie Jun put down his wine glass, looked at Song and asked calmly: "Third Young Master, what do you think of Zhao Tuo?"
Translator Song thought for a while and said thoughtfully: "Zhao Tuo is ambitious and talented. He may become our enemy or our friend in the future."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Jie Jun rarely heard Yi Xusong commenting on someone, but now he heard Yi Xusong commenting on Zhao Tuo, and he couldn't help but become interested.
But the translator Xu Song said again: "Zhao Tuo himself is a Yue, and he is very clear about the habits of our Yue people. If he comes to conquer Baiyue in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to resist him."
"but."
As he spoke, he changed the topic, with an unknown smile on his lips, and said: "Zhao Tuo's current situation is a bit strange. I even suspect that Wang Jian's incident may have something to do with him!"
"You mean, he wants to assassinate Wang Jian and seize power?"
"There are too many flaws in the assassination of Wang Jian. If you use fake hands, you can save a lot of trouble."
"Wonderful!"
Jie Jun clapped his hands and smiled: "If this is true, we might become friends!"
"You want to help him?" Yi Yusong frowned.
Jie Jun asked with a half-smile, "How?"
"It's like seeking the skin of a tiger!".
"hehe."
"why are you laughing?"
"The third young master seems not to be so obsessed with the position of prince!"
"Um?"
Translator Song was stunned: "What do you mean?"
He had always known that Jie Jun was also an ambitious man, but his father didn't trust Jie Jun very much, so Jie Jun's military power was very small, with only a few hundred people.
Most of the military power is in the hands of a few elders.
Now that Jie Jun brought himself to his cave, he wanted to do more than just talk about Zhao Tuo and Zhao Hao.
But I heard Jie Jun smile and say: "If I can help the Third Young Master ascend the throne, can the Third Young Master trust me?"
"you"
When Yi Xusong heard Jie Jun's words, his eyes widened.
Although he has long coveted his father's position, he knows very well that with his brother Hao An around, he has no chance.
Moreover, his father Zhuoche didn't like him either.
Because his mother was a concubine of Haoche, she had little status in the harem, and the family was also a small tribe.
Therefore, even if he cared about his father's position, he could not do anything about it.
As if he had read through Yi Xusong's thoughts, Jie Jun smiled and poured him a glass of wine, poured another glass of wine for himself, drank it down and said: "Xiou is in a critical moment and needs a brave and courageous monarch. !”
"But father"
"There is an old saying in the Central Plains, 'No poison, no husband'. If the third young master wants to ascend the throne, he must make a choice! Is it possible that you still expect Hao An to lead us out of this predicament?"
"this"
The translation is called Song Dynasty.
He knows his brother's talents better than anyone else. Apart from intrigues and vying for power, politically and militarily, they are nothing more than idiots.
If he were to lead Western Europe out of its predicament, it would probably lead directly to destruction.
After thinking about it, Yi Xusong was still hesitant. After a while, he sighed and said, "Let me think about it again."
"Before we prepare to take action, Third Young Master has plenty of time to think!"
Jie Jun smiled in understanding, then suddenly thought of something, slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, by the way, Third Young Master, can you tell me the situation in the Qin Army's camp?"
"what's the situation?"
"Where is the Qin army's food and grass hoarding?"
"How do I know this?"
"Didn't you go to the Qin army camp with Zhao Tuo? With your photographic memory, didn't you find any flaws?" Jie Jun said with a smile.
Translator Song muttered a few words: "At that time, Zhao Tuo took me into the military camp. I saw that there were oxcarts going back and forth to the north of the military camp. I thought that about two hundred miles to the north, it should be the place where the Qin army stored food and grass."
"About two hundred miles north"
Jie Jun fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you talking about the Qingxi Stream at the foot of Yangjiao Mountain?"
"Well, it should be!"
"Then how many people are there in the Qin Army camp you went to?"
"About 100,000 people"
"One hundred thousand people?"
Jie Jun frowned, rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then murmured: "Based on the tradition of Qin troops stationed there, there should be no more than five thousand Qin troops guarding food and grass there."
"You ask this, are you trying to sneak attack the Qin army's food and grass?"
After reacting, Yi Yusong asked in surprise.
Jie Jun's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said coldly: "That's right! The Qin army's food and grass are stored there. As long as I send out surprise troops and burn these food and grass, they will definitely be demoralized and seek to retreat."
"My General Jie Jun, although this plan is good, it is not easy to succeed."
Yi Xusong shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Why?"
"Yangjiao Mountain is a hundred miles away behind the Qin army's camp. How could we bypass the Qin army's scouts and penetrate deep into the Qin army's hinterland without being discovered?"
"Moreover, even if this army goes deep into the Qin Army's hinterland, it is still a lone army. Once its whereabouts are leaked, it will inevitably be surrounded by the Qin Army and be quickly annihilated. This risk is too great."
"Ah!"
Jie Jun suddenly chuckled and said with a smile: "Of course I know your worries. Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible for our army to penetrate deep into the Qin Army's hinterland without being noticed by the Qin Army. However, if we can cooperate inside and outside, is there any possibility of success? ?”
"The inside should be coordinated with the outside?!"
Translator Song was stunned and a little at a loss.
But I heard Jie Jun chuckle and say:
"Didn't you say that Zhao Tuo might become our friend? If we take advantage of the chaos to help him kill Wang Jian, or even that Young Master Hao, will he have the final say in the military and political affairs of the South China Sea?"
"this"
When Translator Song heard this, he couldn't help showing hesitation and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince him."
"What if it kills two birds with one stone?"
"What's the meaning?"
Jie Jun said mysteriously: "I will tell you, Your Majesty, that there is a secret passage leading to the Qin army's hinterland. Do you think that if the eldest son learns about this, will he compete for the top spot?"
"you!"
Yi Xusong's pupils shrank suddenly, like a magnitude 9 earthquake.
Jie Jun took a deep look at Yi Xusong and said word by word: "I still say what I said, no one is poisonous and no husband."
Translated from the Song Dynasty: "."
Jie Jun: "."
The two looked at each other, both speechless.
After a long while, Yi Xusong sat up and sat down on the glass of wine that had already cooled down. He took a deep breath, then drank it all in one gulp. He paused and said, "Okay, I'll contact Zhao Tuo first to see what he means. If he agrees, , when I become the king of Xiou Kingdom, I will surrender to him, and even help him attack Minyue Kingdom, so that he can pacify Baiyue without any bloodshed, and achieve unparalleled achievements!"
"Once he becomes king, South China Sea will be our world!"
"oh?"
When Jie Jun heard what Yi Xusong said, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Third Young Master, are you serious about this?"
"What do you think?"
The corner of Yi Xusong's mouth raised slightly, and he asked with a smile.
"Hahaha--!"
The two met and laughed, each recognizing what they meant in each other's laughter.
On the other side, Linchen City, the Shogunate.
The First Emperor looked at the skinny Wang Jian and was speechless for a long time.
Everything in the shogunate's tent was taking place in front of Ying Zheng's eyes. Xia Wuche and the doctors from Daqin Medical Center were repeatedly diagnosing his pulse and carefully checking Wang Jian's recent physical condition.
After Xia Wuji finished taking his pulse, he briefly exchanged a few words with the doctor from Daqin Medical Center, watched the doctor from Daqin Medical Center leave the tent, then stood up and saluted Ying Zheng: "I have met your Majesty!"
"There is no need to be polite to the imperial doctor. How is the old general's condition?"
Ying Zheng raised his hand to support Xia Wuji and asked with concern on his face.
Xia Wuji glanced at Wang Jian, then at Ying Zheng, sighed and said: "Although the poison in the old general's body has been cured, the poison has consumed the old general's vitality. If he wants to restore the old general's health, I'm afraid he has to bring Return to Xianyang for recuperation”
"Then according to the imperial doctor's advice, when is the best time to take the old general back to Xianyang?"
"this"
"What's wrong? Could it be that the imperial doctor has something to hide?"
Seeing that Xia Wu was about to speak but hesitated, Ying Zheng asked him with some displeasure.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. It's not because I have something to hide, but it's the old general's own problem!"
Xia Wuqie said helplessly.
Ying Zheng asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What's the problem with the old general?"
"this"
Xia Wuji hesitated for a moment, then bowed his hand to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, you should wait until the old general wakes up and ask him yourself. I still want to help the old general prepare the prescription, so I won't bother you here!"
After he finished speaking, he left the tent without saying a word.
"Imperial physician."
Seeing Xia Wuji leave immediately, Ying Zheng shouted to him quickly.
However, Xia Wuji seemed to have not heard anything, quickened his pace, and soon disappeared outside the tent.
"Is this old guy drifting off? Why do you think less and less of me?"
Ying Zheng muttered angrily, but did not argue with Xia Wuqie. He turned to Tang Sui and said, "Do Zhao Tuo, Ren Xiao and the others know about our coming here?"
"You should know!"
Tang Sui nodded: "When we first entered the shogunate, someone went to inform them. I think they will be here soon!"
"What about Zhao Hao? Does he know I'm here?"
"It is said that Young Master Hao lives less than 500 meters away from here. I should know that too!"
"Um."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and didn't say much. He just stood there quietly, waiting for Wang Jian to wake up.
About a quarter of an hour later, Wang Jian's tired eyes slowly opened. When the vague and familiar figure of Ying Zheng appeared in front of him, tears suddenly overflowed uncontrollably, and he shouted with a choked voice: "Your Majesty."
"Old General, farewell to Xianyang, long time no see!"
Ying Zheng's eyes were also red.
"Your Majesty went to the South China Sea in person. I feel ashamed beyond words."
"Old general, don't say anything, I understand everything."
Ying Zheng bent over and patted Wang Jian on the shoulder, then sat on the left side of his bed, stroking his tears and smiling:
"I still remember that when I first returned to Qin, the old general told me what I was thinking. I was surprised by the old general's ability to recognize people and made a lot of jokes. Now that I think about it, more than thirty years have passed. Old general, I regret letting you Return to the South China Sea and take charge!"
"Why did your Majesty say this?"
A smile appeared on Wang Jian's pale cheek, and he sighed: "As the saying goes, it is the duty of a strong man to serve his country. My Wang family has been loyal to the Qin Dynasty and to Your Majesty for generations. How can I be an exception for my old ministers?"
"Furthermore, during the two hundred years of the Warring States Period, I, the people of Qin, have shed countless blood, and the people of the world have shed countless blood. It is truly a great blessing in life for me to be able to quell the war in my lifetime!"
As he said this, he couldn't help but tease Ying Zheng: "If your Majesty regrets it, he will be looking down on an old minister."
"hehe."
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly, not knowing how to respond to Wang Jian.
Wang Jian calmed down, calmed down, and said seriously: "Your Majesty cares about things and always likes to look at things with compassion. If you do this, everything will be sad."
"Hahaha!"
Ying Zheng was so amused by these words that he threw his head back and laughed, and the atmosphere in the tent instantly became much more relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Jian talked about some things about the South China Sea, including the immigration strategy discussed with Zhao Hao.
After hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned slightly and asked after a long while: "Does that kid also agree with your immigration policy?"
"I have always admired Young Master Hao's talent. However, according to the situation in the South China Sea, this strategy will have to be implemented in three to five years. There is no rush. The most urgent thing is to prepare early."
"Since the old general has foresight, we will discuss it with Li Si and the others after we return to Xianyang!"
"Your Majesty, the South China Sea is in turmoil. Although the veteran does not lead the troops, he can sit in the rear and give the soldiers peace of mind."
Wang Jian said: "We only need to wait two more years, and the overall situation in the South China Sea will be clarified!"
"Having said that, your condition"
"Your Majesty, as Young Master Hao is here, I don't need to worry about my illness. The reason why I ask to see Your Majesty is that I hope Your Majesty will allow me to stay in Nanhai. If Your Majesty doesn't come, Young Master Hao will forcefully drag me back to Xianyang. I was born in war and died in unification. , be granted the title of marquis and become a general, with a family full of children and grandchildren, he can be called a winner in life!"
After saying that, he paused and then continued: "Now that I am in my twilight years, I don't want to think about anything else. I just want to serve the country and hope that your majesty will do it!"
"this"
Ying Zheng's words stopped for a moment, then he smiled helplessly: "The old general has such ambition, I have no words to reply!"
"No, Your Majesty still needs to clarify something!"
Wang Jian shook his head, smiled with all his strength, sat up slowly, straightened his body, took a breath, and regained his energy before saying: "The land of the South China Sea is comparable to the two old Qin countries. It can be said to be vast and rich in resources. Although His Majesty once promised in public that he would destroy the six kingdoms. Those who can be crowned kings.
There are more than six countries in this land of the South China Sea. Although the distance is not as far as overseas, it is not much different. I wonder what kind of title will be obtained by conquering Nanyue? "
"Um?"
Ying Zheng's eyes widened when he heard Wang Jian's words.
Somehow, he always felt like he was on a pirate ship.
"Oh, I have never thought of what the old general said."
"Your Majesty has been very tired during his tour eastward. It is normal that he has not thought about this. However, as your Majesty's minister, I have to share your worries!"
"hehe."
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes wildly in his heart, but smiled noncommittally.
Is this 'old fox' really sick or fake? How come he still cares about his title before he dies?
Is it possible that he still wants to get a prince to pass on to his descendants?
However, looking at his current appearance, it is obvious that he is not pretending, so what does he want to do?
Just when Ying Zheng was puzzled, a report suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, General Zhao Tuo, Lieutenant Ren Xiao wants to see you!"
