Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

"I am going to use Yang Duanhe to command the people of Shangdang, Hanoi, and Dongjun, including the Longhu Forbidden Army stationed in Dongjun. I wonder what your wishes are?" After confirming the affairs of Chu and Wei, Qin Wangzheng told Yang Ming about his plans for Qin. Adjustment of military subordinates.

Yang Duanhe, the current governor of Hanoi County of the Qin State, in the previous battle against Zhao, he and Wang Jian jointly commanded the Qin State's South Route Army to attack the southern border of Zhao State. Although the Qin Army's North Route Army was defeated in Feidi and failed to achieve success. , but still brought the Qin army completely back to the territory of Qin, and effectively blocked the attacks from Zhao and Wei in Hanoi County. There is no doubt about his own ability.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Yang Duanhe is also from the Yang family in Huashan, so he can be regarded as Yang Ming's uncle. However, Yang Ming has never felt close to the so-called clan in this world, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is not. In this way, in this era that pays attention to clans, Yang Ming's Yang character cannot be ignored.

More than half of the territory of Dongjun is the original territory of Wei and Wei, which was conquered by Yang Ming's troops. In Dongjun, from the garrisons in various places, to the county magistrates and county heads of various cities, and even at the lower level Most of the minor officials, such as the pavilion chief and others, were Yang Ming's old subordinates. Although this was not a right, it was a kind of power that did not lose power, called influence.

The King of Qin put Dongjun and the Longhu Forbidden Army stationed in Dongjun under the jurisdiction of Yang Duanhe. Naturally, he had to take Yang Ming's reaction into consideration, especially when he was planning to reuse Yang Ming, and did not want to use Yang Ming again. Unnecessary suspicions arise between people, and having Yang Duanhe, who is from the same clan as Yang Ming, take charge of Dongjun, can effectively avoid such suspicions. At least Qin Wangzheng's own employment skills are still the same, or so he thinks.

"Dongjun is the Dongjun of Qin State, and the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army is also the King's Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army." Yang Ming also said firmly.

Qin Wangzheng was obviously overly worried. For Yang Ming, power was always just a tool to achieve a certain goal. How could he let himself be driven by power.

This kind of error in thinking cannot be understood by Qin Wangzheng's wisdom. After all, what he is better at is political tactics, but Yang Ming hates such political tactics.

"After all, it can reduce a lot of troubles. Although you will be responsible for the affairs of Chu and Wei in the next few years, the Luowang headquarters should also be handed over to your hands." Qin Wangzheng said, it seemed to be impromptu, and it seemed to be premeditated. Long.

"Isn't Lu Xiangguo always in charge of the snare matter?" Yang Ming asked rhetorically.

"As you said just now, the net is also the net of Qin State, not the net of the Prime Minister's Mansion." King Qin said.

Since Lu Buwei did not want to leave the Qin court in a short period of time, the Qin Dynasty could only divide the power of the Prime Minister's Palace. He used Xiong Qi to divide the administrative and financial rights of the Prime Minister's Palace, and promoted Dun Rui and Yao Jia. Divide the diplomatic power of the Prime Minister's Office. As for the military power, the Prime Minister's Office has never really controlled it. Therefore, the power of the Prime Minister's Office can no longer be dominated by one family.

But among the various powers in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is still one kind of power that must be separated, and that is the power that controls Luowang. Luowang, the collection of intelligence organizations and killer organizations, does not have the power that can be unleashed at a specific time. No less than a large army came. Regarding the net, how could the Qin Wangzheng, who wanted to weaken the power of the prime minister's government, let Lu Buwei continue to control it.

It is a pity that in terms of targeting the net, no one among the confidants around Qin Wangzheng has been able to replace Lu Buwei's influence. Although Qin Wangzheng's favorite candidates are Zhao Gao and Li Si, it is a pity that the positions of Zhao Gao and Li Si It was too low, not enough to replace Lu Buwei's control of the net. In this way, Yang Ming appeared in Qin Wangzheng's sight.

According to Qin Wangzheng's understanding, Yang Ming had already taken charge of Luo Weng's Wei subordinates a few years ago. Although he later returned the power of Luo Weng's Wei subordinates to the Prime Minister's Mansion under pressure from the Prime Minister's Office, he still The South Korean affiliate that obtained the net in exchange is the only one in the net that can not obey the orders of the Prime Minister.

Qin Wangzheng didn't care who the next leader of Luo Wang would be. What he really cared about was whether Lu Buwei would be the next leader of Luo Wang.

Before Lu Buwei's worst option, even Yang Ming's not-so-good option was not unacceptable.

This is to use me as a swordsman. Yang Ming thought in his heart, but he already felt a little disgusted.

"I understand." No matter how he thought in his heart, at least on the surface Yang Ming couldn't see anything.

"You must work hard. You cannot be without your place in Qin's great cause of unifying the world. You and I, the monarchs and ministers, must join hands to complete this great cause that no one has been able to accomplish since ancient times." Qin Wangzheng encouraged Yang Ming and was also painting for Yang Ming. Holding the cake, as a king, this is one of the necessary abilities.

"Leaving a name in history is also my wish." Yang Ming replied.

Qin Wangzheng took a deep look at Yang Ming. In Yang Ming, he saw excessive indifference. This kind of indifference made Qin Wangzheng not like it. A minister without desires is not a good minister in the eyes of the king. Because the king believes that loyalty needs to be exchanged. When a minister has no desire, it will be difficult for the king to provide enough things in exchange for the other party's loyalty.

But, are you really so indifferent to power? Is there nothing you like? Qin Wangzheng recalled Yang Ming's information. No matter what he thought, it seemed that only the Yan Lingji incident in South Korea made Yang Ming ask for him for the first time. Could it be a woman?

After realizing this, Qin Wangzheng suddenly understood something. How could a young man really have no desires and desires? Realizing this, Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but feel relieved. After all, he was not invulnerable.

This feeling of being able to manipulate others is exactly what Qin Wangzheng needs.

Now that Yang Ming has returned to Xianyang, various rewards he received from the battle in Dongjun have also entered Yang Ming's hands.

Position, Yang Ming is now the Captain of the Guards of the Qin State. Among the Qin Army, except for the Lieutenant and the General, the position of Captain of the Guards is almost the top military position, ranking higher than Jiuqing. , although he is on the same level as a titled general like the former general, his power and status are higher than that of the former general. According to Yang Ming's current situation, it is obviously impossible for him to continue to be promoted with such a position.

According to Yang Ming's estimation, Qin Wangzheng is planning to leave the general position to Wang Jian. Although Huanjue is still the general of Qin and the head of the generals, as long as Wang Jian achieves enough military merits and has enough reputation, He will succeed Huan Jue as the general.

Although Huanjue can be called a famous general and can defend the Qin State, the main goal of the Qin king is to unify the world. Huanjue obviously does not meet the requirements. Wang Jian is the most preferred candidate for the Qin king. As for Yang Ming? Because of the delicate relationship between Zhao Ji and him, he could never become Qin Wangzheng's true confidant.

Yang Ming already knew this when he chose Zhao Ji after entering Ganquan Palace.

Yang Ming could even think with satisfaction and malice that the King of Qin's political general asked him to preside over the alliance with Wei to attack Chu in the future, just to pave the way for Wang Jian.

After all, although Qin will not use large-scale troops against Zhao in the future, it will continue to encroach on Zhao's territory on the southern border of the Great Wall and across the Zhang River. Among these territories, the plain between the Zhang River and the Dahe River is the most important. This status It is located in a plain area with developed water systems. It is one of the most important farming areas of Zhao State. More importantly, although Zhao State has more than 20 fortified cities in this area, there is no danger to defend it. The overall national power of Zhao State is not as good as that of Zhao State. With the strength of the Qin State, it was a very easy place to be attacked.

It can be said that the plains between the Zhang River and the Dahe River, such as Anyang and Yecheng, are full of outstanding military achievements. However, this area is across the river from Dongjun. As long as the Qin army uses troops against it, it will definitely Raise grain and grass from Dongjun and deploy troops and horses, and Yang Ming has a small influence on Dongjun. If Yang Ming is not allowed to be responsible for the affairs of Chu and Wei in the next few years, it will never be possible to encroach on Zhao State in the war. Leaving aside Yang Ming, how could Qin Wangzheng allow Wang Jian to obtain sufficient military exploits.

As for asking Yang Ming to plan to attack Chu with the troops of Wei State, it seems to be a war, but the city of Chu State is actually a bait given to Yang State of Wei State. In Qin State's system of narrating merits, it is greatly discounted.

Of course, such speculation may just be Yang Ming's overthinking.

However, the power of Qin Wangzheng to use Yang Ming to break Lu Buwei's trap is real.

Therefore, when Yang Ming came to the Prime Minister's Mansion with the edict issued by King Qin Zhengfa, Lu Buwei really looked at Yang Ming with a dark face.

"What a snare." Lu Buwei looked at the edict in his hand, and his thoughts were incomprehensible. During this period, Qin Wangzheng's intention was to continuously divide the power of the Prime Minister's Government. Lu Buwei, who was well versed in the ways of conspiracy, was naturally aware of it, but after all, he was only a minister, and he was already old. Da, he was not from Qin, so he naturally had no intention of confronting Qin Wangzheng.

But even though he could understand the truth, when things actually happened, Lu Buwei still couldn't feel happy.

"What does Yang Hujun think the snare is?" Lu Buwei pressed the edict on the desk and asked.

"The sharp weapon of the country can hurt the enemy as well as ourselves." Yang Ming said.

"It's a sharp weapon, but I don't want to hand it over. What are Yang Hujun going to do?" Lu Buwei said with a gloomy old face.

"Then let it remain in the hands of the Prime Minister." Yang Ming said indifferently.

Lu Buwei looked at Yang Ming, as if he wanted to see what Yang Ming was really thinking. After a little silence, Lu Buwei suddenly smiled: "Well, I can already confirm that Yang Hujun was used as a weapon against me. "

Lu Buwei has been in charge of Luo Wang for more than ten years. Most of Luo Wang's people are from top to bottom. What attitude the new leader of Luo Wang has towards the people he left behind is a very interesting question, especially since Luo Wang has helped Lu Buwei do a lot. Some of the shady things were for the sake of the Qin State, and some were just for Lu Buwei's personal interests. How could Lu Buwei not guard against being liquidated after people left.

Lu Buwei had long planned to hand over the net to Yang Ming. He had also given the distribution map of the net's various strongholds among the seven countries to Yang Ming. Compared with Xiong Qi and the confidants around Qin Wangzheng, Lu Buwei was obviously more at ease with Yang Ming. , at least with Yang Ming, Lu Buwei doesn't have to worry about being liquidated in the future.

But Lu Buwei just has this tendency. Today, if Yang Ming really shows his eagerness for the trap, Lu Buwei will have to think carefully about whether to lay some traps for Yang Ming.

But now it seems that Yang Ming is not very interested in Luo Wang. This kind of reaction is more reassuring to Lu Buwei.
