Chapter 54: The First Emperor is so great!

"Haha!" Emperor Jing looked at Zhou Yang with interest and said with a smile: "I'm very surprised, right? I'm even more surprised than you when I saw the will of the First Emperor. No matter what, I never expected that the First Emperor, who was called a tyrant by scholars, would be so broad and profound! If it weren't for his edict, Zhao Tuo led 500,000 Qin troops back to the Central Plains, and the great things in the world would be unknown!"

"If there is no such edict, although the great affairs in the world are unknown, they will definitely fail!" Zhou Yang woke up from his words to Emperor Jing.

"Yes! The previous dynasty did not operate Baiyue for a long time and its foundation was not stable. If Zhao Tuo led the fifty army back north, Baiyue would inevitably become a foreign land. If he wanted to advance again, it would be very difficult!" Emperor Jing emphasized the key point and agreed with Zhou Yang's judgment.

"Emperor, why did the First Emperor issue such an edict?" Zhou Yang couldn't figure it out. With Qin Shihuang's sage, he actually issued such an edict.

Zhao Tuo carried out this order, and Lingnan was saved, but the Qin Dynasty was destroyed. If this order was not carried out, the Qin Dynasty might not necessarily die, but Lingnan would lose. The two choices make it difficult to make a choice. Logically speaking, Qin Shihuang should choose to keep the Qin Dynasty. However, Qin Shihuang actually chose to keep Lingnan.

With Zhou Yang's current understanding of Qin Shihuang, Qin Shihuang was broad and profound, far from being a tyrant in the mouth of scholars. However, as the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, he would never have made such a decree for no reason.

As long as the Qin Dynasty is saved, there is a chance to make a comeback. Even if Lingnan is lost, he can still raise an army to go south again. Qin Shihuang actually chose to protect Lingnan, which is puzzling. What is the reason?

"There are many rumors about this matter. However, it is not worth believing. Only Zhao Tuo knew the real reason. Emperor Gaozu sent Lu Jia and the late emperor sent Yuan Ang. They had asked Zhao Tuo in person, but Zhao Tuo had never said it. If you have the chance, you can ask Zhao Tuo." Emperor Jing shook his head.

"This will was found in the books of Xiao He in the previous dynasty." Emperor Jing paused slightly and then said: "God-Emperor Gao entered Xianyang, and the generals competed for their children of gold and silk, and were greedy for pleasure. Only Xiao He entered the Qin Palace and took the books of the Qin treasury. Later, after investigation, he found the will of the First Emperor."

Liu Bang was lustful and greedy. As soon as he entered Xianyang, he moved into the Qin Palace, drank and lie drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman, and was so forth that he was lost. The upper beam was not upright and the lower beam was crooked. No other generals could imitate him, fighting for gold, jade, jewelry, and enjoying the beauty of women. Only Xiao He was unmoved and took away the treasury books of the Qin Dynasty, which allowed Liu Bang to quickly grasp the general trend of the world and played a great role in the founding of the Han Empire.

Looking at the handwriting on the silk, although there are only six characters, each word is like a dragon, vigorous and powerful, and there is also a sense of impenetrable pressure that is difficult to explain and unclear. Although I have never seen Qin Shihuang, just looking at these six characters, Zhou Yang felt like he was living and dying for him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yang sighed again that the reason why Qin Shihuang was able to destroy the six kingdoms and unify China was not fortunate, but for sure. He had talent and charm that ordinary people could not reach. Not to mention anything else, just these six words made people feel that they dare not look up to them.

It is precisely because Qin Shihuang has extraordinary features that are difficult for these people to reach that Zhao Tuo is loyal and faithfully enforces his edict and protects Lingnan.

"The First Emperor is so great!" Zhou Yang couldn't help but sighed!

"The First Emperor is so great! Well said!" Emperor Jing actually agreed with Zhou Yang's praise: "Zhou Yang, do you know what Zifang said when he saw this will?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know." Zhou Yang didn't know these secrets.

"When Zifang saw this edict, he sighed as if you were: If Liang had seen this edict, there would have been no such edict!" Emperor Jing repeated Zhang Liang's words.

"Ah!" Zhou Yang was surprised, and Zhang Liang actually said such words.

Zhang Liang was originally a Korean nobleman, but he was still intimate with the Korean prince Han Fei. After Qin Shihuang destroyed South Korea, Zhang Liang was very young and did not realize the importance of unity. He was dissatisfied and devoted himself to repay Qin. His younger brother Zhang Sheng died. Zhang Liang did not bury him, but dissipated all his family fortune and made friends with warriors all over the world.

After many twists and turns, he finally came to Goryeo and met King Goryeo and obtained a strong strong man. This strong man could use a giant cone weighing 120 kilograms. Zhang Liang took advantage of Qin Shihuang's patrol and asked the strong man to throw the giant cone at the imperial chariot where Qin Shihuang was sitting.

After one cone, he did not hit Qin Shihuang's imperial chariot and hit the secondary chariot. Qin Shihuang escaped. These were the most dangerous two assassinations in Qin Shihuang's life. The first time was Jing Ke's drawings appeared, and the second time was Zhang Liang's Bolang cone.

These two things are well-known in history.

Because of this, Zhang Liang chased the Qin Dynasty and had nowhere to hide, so he hid in Xia Bei. Zhang Liang did two things in Xia Bei, which had a great impact on his later years. One was to pick up his shoes and get the praise of Huang Shigong, and he taught him Taigong's military strategy. After Zhang Liang studied it carefully, he became one of the three heroes of the Han Dynasty and was praised as the "imperial teacher".

Another thing was that Zhang Liang met Xiang Bo, and the two had a very good relationship. At that time, this was just an insignificant little thing, but it had a great impact on Chinese history. Xiang Yu held a Hongmen banquet, and Xiang Bonian went to find Zhang Liang to ask Zhang Liang to run with him, but Zhang Liang asked Xiang Yu's intention to be confused.

After understanding Xiang Yu's intention, Liu Bang could only escape after going to the Hongmen Banquet. Of course, Xiang Bo also said a lot of good things during the meal.

"Bolang Ci" was Zhang Liang's lifelong masterpiece and was praised by future generations. Zhang Liang actually said himself that if he had received this imperial edict as soon as possible and would not do this, anyone would be surprised, and Zhou Yang was no exception.

Zhou Yang tied up the will and stuffed it back into the copper tube. Emperor Jing put it back and asked someone to lock it up. Then he took Zhou Yang back to the Yangxin Palace.

The two knelt down opposite each other, and Emperor Jing smiled and said, "It is precisely because Zhao Tuo followed the imperial edict of the First Emperor to defend the land of Nanyue that the Han Dynasty had not moved Nanyue for so many years. Otherwise, even if the Han Dynasty was poor and weak, it would be worthwhile to acquire only Nanyue!"

Although the land of Nanyue was wide, it had too few people and its strength was far inferior to that of the Han Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty was suppressing the Huns and wanted to conquer Baiyue, as long as it was determined to fight, it was not a problem.

"With Zhao Tuo here, the Han Dynasty can stop moving to Nanyue for the time being. However, Zhao Tuo is already old and nearly a hundred people, and there is not much time left. If he leaves, the future will be unpredictable. Especially Lu Jia, who is unjust and has the ambition to seize Nanyue. Therefore, the Han Dynasty must take Nanyue as soon as possible if it wants to take Nanyue." Emperor Jing began to analyze: "Now, there is nothing wrong in the north for the time being. Once your army is completed, you can take Baiyue. The reason why I want you to take Minyue first and then Nanyue is that after taking Minyue, Nanyue will not survive alone, and it is very likely that they will go down without a fight!"

If Emperor Jing could conquer the land of Nanyue without using weapons, he would be correct. With Zhao Tuo here, he would conquer the land of Nanyue without using weapons, which would be possible.

"The emperor is wise, I am not worried about this!" Zhou Yang agreed with Emperor Jing's plan very much.

"It's not that you can't imagine it, it's that you don't understand the situation." Emperor Jing knew Zhou Yang's power well. If he knew those secrets, he would naturally think of this: "When are you planning to use troops?"

"The emperor, the climate in Lingnan is hot and miasma is rampant, so it is not advisable to use troops in the hot summer. I want to wait until late autumn or even winter to use troops." Zhou Yang analyzed.

Miasma is miasma. There are many places in Lingnan, which makes the Qin soldiers suffer a lot. The hotter the weather, the more miasma. Zhou Yang avoids the hot summer season and chooses the military service in late autumn and winter. This season is the time when the miasma has the least impact, which is a wise move.

In Lingnan, winter is warm and not so cold, and it is not a problem to use troops in winter. In Guangzhou, in winter, a sweater can be used to spend the winter. Although the temperature in the Han Dynasty was lower than that now, there were still many conveniences.

"The timing was good!" Emperor Jing deeply agreed with the military service period: "Since you have selected the military service period, I will issue an order to Zhou Yafu to transfer food and grass in Changsha and collect ships so as to transport supplies through Lingku."

"Your Majesty, I think that although Baiyue is not a match for the Han Dynasty in this southern expedition, it is difficult to achieve this merit based on the army I trained. If I can mobilize the soldiers from Kuaiji to participate in the battle, the chances of victory will be much greater." Zhou Yang was very confident in the soldiers he trained, but he was not arrogant. After all, Baiyue was so big that with Qin Shihuang's majestic talent and strategy, he had dispatched 500,000 troops to complete it.

The current situation is much easier than the Qin Shihuang period, and it is not something that 30,000 people can complete. The Kuaiji soldiers are close to Minyue, and they are familiar with mountain jungle combat. This is exactly what the soldiers trained by Zhou Yang are short. If there are Kuaiji soldiers to help with the battle, they will be more sure.

"In order to collect Baiyue, I have trained an army in Changsha since the time of the former emperor. Like the soldiers of Kuaiji, they are good at fighting in the mountains and jungle, and they will be transferred to you together." Emperor Jing nodded with a smile.

This is a great thing, so Zhou Yang naturally would not refuse.

The matter of collecting hundreds was decided like this.

There are two things to do now, one is preparations before the war, and the other is the training of 30,000 new troops. These 30,000 new troops will be expanded in the future, so it is very necessary for them to accumulate battlefield experience. Although the climate and terrain of the Baiyue Land is very different from that of the desert, the battle on the battlefield is the same.

The desert is vast and boundless, which makes it easier for the army to gallop; the terrain in Lingnan has a complex terrain, which is inconvenient for the army to move. This is a strategic matter and is a problem that Zhou Yang needs to consider. For ordinary soldiers, they only need to fight hard when facing the enemy. Therefore, training troops in Baiyue will also have a lot of gains.

Emperor Jing sent Zhou Yafu and called Zhu Maichen. The four of them gathered together to discuss the use of troops against Baiyue. Zhou Yafu and Zhu Maichen were extremely agreeable to Zhou Yang's chosen military period, without any objection.

The two of them had no objection to mobilize the troops from Kuaiji and Changsha to participate in the battle. These two armies were trained to collect Baiyue. They were good at fighting in the mountains and jungle. With their help, it would be better.

The four people discussed the most about the details of the military use and the things to pay attention to. Zhu Maichen was very familiar with Baiyue, just like a map of Baiyue Living. He knew where the road was convenient, where the inconvenient to march, and where the battlefield was suitable for the battlefield. He knew each one by one, and Emperor Jing Zhou Yang and Zhou Yafu and the other three knew Baiyue better.

After a discussion, the combat plan for collecting Baiyue was planned, and only waiting for Zhou Yang to go out.

The next day, Zhou Yang bid farewell to Princess Nangong, and went straight to Chen Cang with Zhu Maichen.

Suiyang, Liang Prince's Mansion.

King Liang was on the throne high and was having a banquet with Master and disciple Guo Jie, Gongsun Gui, Yang Sheng and others.

Han Anguo, Mei Cheng, Zhuang Ji and Sima Xiangru have repeatedly assisted King Liang, and King Liang no longer invited them to come and drink.

"King, when will you decide?" Guo Jie looked at King Liang with a little drunkenness.

"Hiss Guo, wait a little longer for this matter." King Liang frowned and said with a thick eyebrows: "The assassination of Zhou Yang is very important, and I have to think carefully."

"Master, you have thought for more than a month." The fifth brother rolled his drunken eyes.

It was very rude to speak like this, but King Liang did not care at all: "What a surprise to think about such a big thing."

"Master, if you don't give a letter today, Guo will say goodbye." Guo Jie let down the golden wine glass, stood up, and clasped his fists with his hands: "Master is very kind, Guo is very grateful, but the king is indecisive in his work and is not the leader of great affairs. Guo said goodbye!"

This is too straightforward. If someone else is changed, King Liang will kill him at all. However, this is explained by Guo. King Liang not only cannot blame him, but also smiles: "Hiss Guo, please give me a few more days to let me think about it."

"What's the point of thinking about? If you want to kill, you will kill. If you don't kill, you won't kill." Guo Jie was very disdainful: "Master, do you know what talent is? Those who can be used by the king are talents. No matter how big the talent is, they are not talented. People like Zhou Yang cannot be used by the king, so it is better to kill them!"

"The talent is the one who can be used for the orphans?" King Liang savored it carefully, and his bright eyes turned, becoming brighter and brighter, like the scorching sun above the nine heavens.

"According to Guo's opinion, even Zhou Yafu was killed, so as not to cause trouble for the king." Guo Jie went further.

If Zhou Yafu and Zhou Yang and his son were killed, Guo Jie would definitely become a famous assassin in the world, not inferior to Jing Ke.

"Okay! I'm sure! This matter will be a blessing for Mr. Guo!" King Liang suddenly realized that what Guo Jie said was very reasonable. Zhou Yang would not use it for him. Is it still a talent? It would be better to kill him.

"King, you finally figured it out!" Guo Jieda was happy. He finally had the opportunity to become famous in future generations. He could be as famous as the famous assassins of Zhuzhu and Jing Ke during the Warring States Period.

"Come here, I will write to Zou Ying and say Gu Yun." King Liang was very happy and frowned: "However, before doing this, I have to do one thing. If Guo Daxia takes action, he will eliminate dissidents for Gu."

He only used the word "dissident" and did not name it. Guo Jie also knew who he meant, namely Han Anguo, Mei Cheng, Zhuang Ji, and Sima Xiangru. Of course, the four of them were familiar with each other in the Liang Palace, and were also eliminated.

If they are not cleared, the assassination will be leaked sooner or later, then he will be in trouble.

This is necessary, Guo Jiexinran agreed: "It's just a few pigs and dogs, it's just a simple task."

Yang Sheng and Gongsun Gui have always hated Han Anguo. When they heard this, they were very happy and were busy praising King Liang's wise.

"King!" At this moment, Han Anguo rushed in hurriedly and prepared to report the important matter to King Liang.

"It's just right!" A cold smile flashed across Guo Jie's mouth. Chu Qiao stood up with a sword and stabbed Han Anguo with a sword.

The sword comes out like the wind, and the sword is sharp and unparalleled. He is worthy of being a disciple of a hero in the world.

Han Anguo has been in battle for a long time and is very good at it. Although the incident suddenly started, he was still not afraid of danger. He shook his body and flashed away. He was a wise man. When he thought about it, he knew his intention and shouted: "Stop! I have something important to report to the king!"

Chu Qiao ignored it at all, and used his sword like the wind to greet Han Anguo. Han Anguo had no choice but to draw his sword to greet him. While fighting, he said, "Your Majesty, it's time to do something big! After the emperor abolished the queen, he killed Daxing Ling and Nanpi Hou. Dou Ying's grand tutor has been dismissed, the prince is isolated, and the prince is deposed is at the right time. Why don't the king help the emperor with his help!"

"What did you say? The Emperor killed the stupid pig Li Qing?" King Liang was surprised and said, "Stop, stop, stop!"

Chu Qiao was extremely reluctant, but King Liang had already spoken and had to stop. He was unwilling to accept it, holding the sword in his hand, looking at Han Anguo. As long as he had the chance, he would give Han Anguo a ruthlessness.

Han Anguo took a breath and glared at Chu Qiao: "King, the emperor not only killed Li Qing, but also attacked Empress Li into the cold palace and seized her position as a beauty. The prince's uterus was helpless and had no ministers to help him, so he was isolated and helpless. It was just a matter of time before he was abandoned. Why should the king have troubles at this time?"

"The Emperor is going to depose the prince!" As long as he is not a pig's head, he can understand Emperor Jing's intention. King Liang's smart man saw through it at a glance, rubbed his hands, and smiled: "I have been waiting for several years on this day! Several years!"

"If the crown prince is abolished, the king may not have a chance. If the crown prince is not abolished, the king will definitely have no share. Why not help the emperor with his help?" Han Anguo offered his advice.

"Yes, yes!" King Liang expressed his deep approval of this: "Come, send a message to the ministers who have received the benefits of orphans and ask them to act. Don't just focus on the benefits of orphans, they should do things too!"

"No!" Yang Sheng and Gongsun responded and went to handle it.

"Come here, I will put Han Anguo in prison. Without the will of orphans, no one is allowed to talk to him." King Liang's face darkened.

"King, what's the crime?" Although Han Anguo neglected King Liang, he was still loyal, but he did not expect that the disaster would fall from heaven and he was sent to prison.

King Liang's face turned red, and he waved his hand and asked someone to take Han Anguo down. Han Anguo was loyal and anxious to come to report the major incident, but King Liang wanted to kill him. King Liang himself felt sorry for him and could not answer Han Anguo's question.

"Master, why don't you take action?" Guo Jie was very dissatisfied.

"Haven Guo, this matter is going on. If Han Anguo is killed now, it will attract the attention of the court. Let's wait. Now I have to deal with major issues and not cause trouble." King Liang's eyes were very bright and relaxed. For so many years, he had been waiting for the deposed prince, but he had not waited until now. Now, he finally waited for it and was very happy.

As Han Anguo said, if the crown prince is abolished, the King of Liang may not be able to accomplish great things. However, if the crown prince is not abolished, the King of Liang will definitely not have a share. Under his instructions, the King of Liang's power was fully dispatched.

Huainan, Huainan Prince's Mansion.

King Liu An of Huainan and Eight Dukes of Huainan are here to discuss major events.

"King, this is an opportunity given by heaven, and we should move too." Li Shang said anxiously.

"Yes, king!" The other six people from the Eight Duke of Huainan were busy agreeing, and the unique thunder was kept silent.

"No!" Liu An smiled and said, "The King of Liang will be the first to jump out of this matter, so let him jump. Let's look at it. Then I will continue to write "Honglie"."
